Dawn found Harry reluctantly waking in Draco’s arms. “Ugh,” he mumbled into Draco’s naked chest. “We forgot to close your damn curtains.”
“Sssh,” Draco murmured. “Too early.” He picked up his wand from the bedside table to blindly swish it at the curtains, which slammed themselves shut. The room darkened and both men sighed their relief.
“I do need to get up, though,” Draco said, sounding exhausted. “So much to brew today.”
“Not yet, surely?” Harry asked. He rubbed his face into Draco’s chest again, loving the slight swell of Draco’s pectorals, the fuzz of his barely visible blond fur.

“I would need a good excuse to postpone getting to work,” Draco said, snuggling down and smiling.
Harry slowly petted Draco’s hip and winked.
“Not that kind of excuse,” Draco said, but he didn’t move away.
“What sort, then? Use small words,” Harry joked. “I’m a man of action.”
Draco frowned a bit, and put a hand on Harry’s, over his hip. “I think we should talk next steps, if you’re amenable?”
Harry nodded once, slow. “Well, ok. But… now?”
“We’ve been putting this off,” Draco said, and he ducked his head under Harry’s chin and gave a little sigh.

“We have,” Harry agreed. “All right then. How d’you think our media campaign’s going? No-one says anything revealing in front of me.”
Draco nodded. “But they say all manner of things in front of Blaise and Pansy.”
“Have you told them, then?” Harry looked surprised, but not upset.
“Goodness, no!” Draco said. “I would never do that before discussing it with you.”
“Do you think it’s time?”
“To tell my best friends?” Draco turned onto his back. “Probably? I can admit, I’m nervous.”
“Oh?” Harry asked, sounding mild.
“What if they’re angry I’ve kept this from them all this time?”

Harry hummed thoughtfully before answering. “They won’t be bothered your new beau is… me?”
Draco’s tiny flinch gave him away.
“It’s all right,” Harry said. “I understand. Telling Hermione and the Weasleys was scary, but….”
“That’s different, surely? Since George knew from the first moment?”
“Even before you did,” Harry joked.
“The important thing,” Draco said, “is I want to tell them, but I would like your help.”
“Why don’t you and your Mum invite them both over for dinner, and I’ll join you once they’re seated?”
“You really are a man of action,” Draco said, bravely trying to smile.

“Once we’ve told Blaise and Pansy,” Harry continued, determined to get all of this (at the very least) aired this morning, “how should we tell the rest of the world?”
At this, Draco seemed marginally more confident. “Have you been invited to the Ministry’s Equinox Ball? It is a huge to-do, always on the 20th of March.”
“Probably?” Harry screwed up his face in thought. “I never go to those things, so I don’t usually pay a lot of attention to the invitations.”
“If you have, perhaps we could attend, together?”
“Well,” Harry grinned. “Draco Malfoy, man of action, yourself!”

“That’s only a month away,” Harry said gently, petting Draco’s shoulder. “You think the world’ll be ready for us by then?”
“All the actions you have taken seem to be having their desired effect,” Draco said, quiet but confident. “Pansy and Blaise had no idea they were speaking to the man in question when they came to tea the other afternoon, but from everything they said, from what Mum has heard from friends, I think, yes. The world might even be ready for us now. But with a month’s notice…”
“I can do even more to prepare.”
They both smiled.
