Only
Harry’s body felt heavy and clumsy, as if he’d just awoken on the platform, his family surrounding him, Al nervously awaiting his first year at Hogwarts. Harry stretched his fingers, trying to shake the faint itch, horrified by it, really. Since when had he wanted to run them through pale blond hair?
And why were silver eyes so mesmerizing, and milky-white skin such an enchanting mystery that he wanted to uncover it all?
He only stopped staring across the platform when he heard Al's timid voice asking Ginny about the Hogwarts sorting.
Glancing at his wife, Harry forced a smile before darting his attention back to Draco Malfoy.
Malfoy was still staring, mouth hanging slack, as if he felt it, too… whatever this was… as if he was unexpectedly entranced by dark hair and green eyes.
But how could that be when all they’d ever felt for each other was rancor, when they hadn’t laid eyes on each other in years?
Harry sighed. It was no use denying the jolt, the ache. This need for only Malfoy felt so new, but somehow, also, as old as the earth. When he felt Ginny's hand on his arm, Harry tore his attention away from Draco to focus on his three children. He uselessly wondered why the hell he hadn’t made this discovery twenty years ago.
Perhaps he had, but had only now noticed.
