the following: This may sound strange, but I'd like a hogwarts era fic from the
perspective of an original character. basically, a student at hogwarts who's
either in slytherin or gryffindor, but is not a neville or hermoine or pansy,
etc. i guess in a way, this would sort of be a mary sue (but not), but this
character isn't necessarily close to Harry or Draco, however one or even both
of them find themselves confiding in this character about the difficulties and/
or excitements of their relationship, given that it's so hard to talk to their
closer friends without being scrutinized or attacked. the character should
probably be male, because I'd like him to maybe over hear secret conversations
and defiantly "accidentally" see harry and Draco having a quick frotting
session (or maybe something hotter!) in an alcove or empty classroom, and
become turned on or even slightly jealous. I hope I did this prompt some
justice. =)

Author's Note: Duncan McTeague is an original character. He's a fellow Gryff
who would rather read then play Quidditch. He's the second openly gay male in
Hogwarts (the first being Seamus) with a major crush on Harry Potter. This is
from his POV. Takes place near the end of 7th year and the war is over.
===============================================================================
"Duncan?" came a voice just behind me. I marked off the page I was reading and
turned around. My heart skipped a beat when I saw Harry Potter standing there.
"Pardon?" I gaped.
"You're Duncan McTeague, right?" Harry asked. I could only nod stupidly.
Why is the defeater of the Dark Lord Voldemort, talking to me? I watched as he
twisted his hands nervously. Why is he nervous? He killed Voldemort. He
shouldn't be nervous, I should be.
"Yeah, but everyone calls me 'Fergie'. Um...would you like to sit?" I asked,
swinging my legs off the couch I'd commandeered in a corner of our common room.
He looked relieved and quickly sat. I watched him silently, waiting for him to
speak. He finally took a deep breath and looked at me.
"I don't know where to begin. This must seem so strange to you, me coming up to
you out of the blue and all,” Harry stammered.
"Depends on what it is you wanted to talk about,” I replied.
"Well, um...Merlin, this is hard!" he laughed. "And I'm supposed to be a
Gryffindor."
"Brave and loyal and all that rot?" I had to laugh.
"Exactly." Harry grinned.
"Harry, I don't know you that well, but I know you have a good heart. Whatever
you want to talk to me about, I won't think less of you for it. You seem like a
decent bloke,” I told him, setting his mind at ease.
"I know I should talk to Ron and Hermione about this but I don't think they
would understand it. Well, Hermione might, since she's muggleborn as well, but
Ron wouldn't. All the same, I can't go to them with this."
And it suddenly became clear to me what the problem was.
"Is it because you're gay?" I asked. He looked at me, eyes wide.
"How did you-"
"Look who you're talking to. I think I'm the only openly gay male, besides
Seamus, in Hogwarts." I smiled. "Are you not comfortable with it?"
"No, it's not that,” he sighed, "I'm in a relationship with this guy. We've
been together for about four months now. And it's exciting, you know, because
I've never had something that was completely mine."
"I hear a 'but' in there."
"But I just feel like it isn't real. I mean I care about him, a great deal, but
we don't have anything in common and I'm afraid he's going to get bored with me
and look for someone better."
"Tell me about him."
"He's funny and smart. He has a great sense of humor but he hides it because
it's not how people expect him to be. I know he cares for me and sometimes I
just want to shout it from the top of the highest tower..." His voice trailed
off.
"But you're afraid of what everyone may think of you afterwards,” I finished
for him. He nodded, staring down at his hands.
"Have you ever been in a situation where you've got the hots for the last
person you ever expected to?" Harry asked, looking at me with his bright green
eyes. I felt my heart skip a beat again.
"I do,” I answered, sure my voice sounded deeper then I meant it to.
"Then you know how it feels. How do you deal with that?"
"Have you talked to your companion about how you feel?" I avoided the question
as quickly as I could.
"Well...no. But he's stated on more than one occasion that he wanted to keep it
quiet for now."
"Maybe he's feeling insecure about what you feel for him? A relationship works
both ways, Harry. You need to talk things out. Maybe something has changed. But
how will you know, unless you talk to him about it?"
Harry stared at me for the longest time, thinking over my words. And then he
smiled brightly.
"You're right. I should be talking to him about this. Thanks, Fergie." Harry
patted my shoulder and left the common room. Once he was gone, I took a deep
breath to center myself. I was jealous, of course. Some bloke has captured
Harry's heart. There was no chance for me. And then I began to wonder...who was
the lucky sod?
- - -
I found out late one evening, about two weeks later. I was returning to
Gryffindor from the library when I heard a sound ahead of me. Glancing around
and seeing no one near, I inched closer to where I heard the sound. The noise
was coming from one of the unused classrooms. There was a faint light coming
from the slightly open door and I heard whispering sounds from within. Careful
not to make a sound, I moved closer.
What I saw shocked and aroused me in the same breath. Harry Potter and Draco
Malfoy of all people, snogging the daylights out of each other, Harry writhing
beneath Draco on top of an unused desk like a snake in water. My mouth dropped
open as I watched them.
I watched a pale hand snake between their bodies to cup the erection I knew
Harry had to have. This statement was proven true when I heard a breathless
moan from Harry.
Watching the two of them, my own cock began to harden but I resisted the urge
to touch myself.
Draco began moving down Harry's body, removing clothes along the way. He gently
pulled Harry's pants down over his erect flesh and I got my first and only look
at that part of Harry I'd only seen in my dreams. It was large and uncut,
nestled in a dark bed of satin-looking curls. I watched, more than a bit
jealous, as the blond lapped at that turgid flesh with his tongue, drawing a
keening sound from Harry's lips.
"Gods, Draco!" Harry hissed, as Draco's dipped his tongue into the slit.
Hollowing his cheeks, Draco slowly drew Harry into his mouth and Harry arched
up off the desk, his fingers tangling in Draco's hair. Draco swallowed him
deeply until his nose was pressed into Harry's groin and he hummed once before
contracting his throat muscles around the cock in his mouth. I could see his
Adam's apple bob as he swallowed. Harry cried out and I watched his thighs
tense. Draco contracted his throat once more and with a needy cry, Harry came,
curling his upper body around Draco's head as if to shelter him from view.
Draco waited until Harry settled before drawing back, licking Harry's sensitive
flesh and planting a small kiss on the tip. He kissed his way back up Harry's
body. Harry kissed him hungrily, stealing his taste from Draco's mouth.
When his breathing returned to normal, Harry seemed to decide it was time to
return the favor and he began to undo Draco's jeans to get to the treasure
inside but Draco stopped him.
"Harry, wait!" Draco whispered. Harry pulled back slightly, frowning.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just have something to say, is all,” Draco replied, getting to his
feet. Harry sat up, his lips swollen and red from Draco's kisses and I clamped
a hand over my mouth to stifle the whimper that tried to escape.
"What is it, Draco?"
Draco moved out of my line of sight and I didn't dare try and push open the
door any further than necessary.
"I don't know where to begin, Harry. This is hard for me." I heard him state.
Harry frowned.
"A-Are you breaking up with me?" Harry stammered, sounding so sad, my own heart
began to break. Draco was by his side in an instant, wrapping an arm around
him.
"Merlin, no, Harry! That would be like cutting off my nose to spite my face! I
love you, more than I ever thought possible. You're the first person I've ever
said those words to, you know that?"
"Your parents, surely-"
"No, Harry. Not once in my whole life. You've shown me what it's like to love
someone with their whole heart and soul. You. No one else gets to me like you
do, no one's ever tried. I don't want to lose that. I don't want to lose you."
Draco left his place at Harry's side and he dropped to one knee before him. My
face must have mirrored the shock I saw on Harry's as Draco pulled a small
velvet box from his pocket and held it out to Harry.
"Draco, what-"
"Will you, Harry James Potter, consent to be my life-mate, from now until the
end of our days?" Draco opened the box and a platinum band engraved with Celtic
Runes of love and devotion sat nestled in the black velvet. Tears sprang to my
eyes as I saw the craftsmanship that went into making that ring.
"Draco, I don't know what to say?" Harry sniffled, eyes shining bright with
tears.
"I was kind of hoping you would say yes so I can announce it at breakfast
tomorrow." Draco smirked. "Say you'll be mine, Harry. Please?"
Harry paused, staring at Draco.
"You want to tell everyone? About us?"
"Yes, Harry, I do. I thought about this ever since you brought it up a few
weeks back. And I don't want to hide anymore. I want to be publicly
acknowledged as your friend, your lover, your everything."
By the time Draco was done speaking, Harry was in tears. They were shining like
diamonds on his cheeks and I felt my own eyes burning.
Harry laughed then, wiping his eyes.
"God I'm such a girl!" Harry snorted. Draco leaned up and kissed the tip of his
nose.
"But I still love you. That will never change." Draco held up the box again and
Harry stared at it for just a moment before launching himself into Draco's
arms.
"Yes, yes, a million times yes!" Harry grinned. Draco kissed him breathless
before drawing back to slip the ring on Harry's left hand. A promise of things
I could no longer have.
Draco transfigured the desk into a bed so he and Harry could lie upon it, I
could watch no more and quietly moved away.
- - -
I couldn't sleep that night, visions of Harry and Draco together keeping me
awake. I pulled out my journal and began to write down my thoughts.
Today I witnessed something I hope, one day, to have for my own. One true love.
I always thought he'd be my one love and it turns out he belongs to someone
else. I have to let my dream die for his to live, it's only fair. I know his
chosen is good for him; they're both good for each other, in a strange way. But
I'm always going to wonder...what if it had been me?
Be well, my love. Be happy, as you so richly deserve. I love you, Harry Potter.
"Fergie" McTeague, Gryffindor
