Notes: So yesterday I was browsing through some of the early chapters of " Nothing Ventured (Nothing Gained)" and found a plot hole. So I immediately reached out to my amazing beta: nia_kantorka and was like THERE'S A FORGOTTEN CHAPTER. I hope you guys enjoy it. All my thanks to NIA as I wrote this chapter SO DRUNK and she fixed all my mistakes. All the remaining errors are mine. Blame the wine, yo.
After returning to the Auror academy in the New Year, Harry settled into his room with a new sense of purpose. Now, not only did he have to concentrate on his studies to be an Auror, he had to make sure that his relationship with Draco thrived.
Since Draco wasn't going to be his roommate anymore, Harry had to also come to terms with the fact that he was going to be living with a new bloke. He didn't think much of it thought because he was sure that whenever he was not in training, he was going to be spending his time with Draco. There was no way Draco could now get rid of him. He was going to be the man's shadow.

It was a surprise when Harry got the owl with his holiday pictures. He'd not expected them, if anything, he'd nearly forgotten all about them.
It was a stupid thing that he and Draco did early on into their arrangement - a thing to only make Sebastian Darlington jealous. Now, the proof of their silly venture was in his hands.
It was Harry and Draco by the big Christmas tree in the dining hall at the academy. They were making faces at each other, and in some of the pictures Padma and Nott were there too -- he remembered what the occasion had been. Draco had said that they were doing a photoshoot and he wanted their pictures taken so when they would arrive at the ball their pictures would be all displayed at the event. Harry had been so lost in being with Draco, he'd forgotten all about it. It seemed Draco had too. They'd never gone by the big tree display to look at their pictures.
He wondered if Sebastian had come across them.
Could that have been the reason why Sebastian came to their room later that night with his confession -- telling Draco how he wanted him back?

Before Harry could gather all the pictures and go see Draco, Draco was at his door with his own copies of them.
"Can you believe this?" he asked when Harry opened the door. "I didn't even remember that we'd taken these and to come back to the academy and open up my mail to receive these pictures -- it's almost a post-Christmas gift!"
"Yeah..." was all Harry said before Draco launched himself at him.
Draco's lips were on Harry's before he could say anything and they were kissing, Harry hastily closing the door behind them and then dragging Draco to his bed. They were naked and under the covers in no time and Draco was pinned under him, wanting, and teasing, and being so fucking sexy that Harry nearly lost himself.
"Gods, I don't know how you think we can survive this term without you here with me..." Harry mumbled against Draco's neck as he pushed into him. He knew Draco's body so well now, he could navigate it in the dark, and still know when Draco smiled, or gasped, or frowned and when Harry's touch was too much for him. He loved knowing Draco's body -- feeling like he knew it better than his own at times.
"I know, but we have to try..." Draco said, and arched up, meeting Harry rhythm to rhythm.
"So you like the pictures?" Harry smiled as he nuzzled into Draco's neck, and they moved together.
"You know I do. Even if we weren't going to work out as a pretend couple, they were going to be my thing to keep. A reminder that there was life after Seb and that there was a chance that things could be good."
"They are good," Harry insisted.
"I know..." Draco agreed, and then they were quiet for a while as the rode out their orgasm, appreciating each other's bodies with pants, and sighs, and hands touching everywhere.
"God, I love you, Draco..." Harry said, resting his body next to Draco's and Draco immediately wrapping himself around him.
"Yeah. You know I love you too."
Harry smiled, yeah, he knew it. But it was still good to hear the confession from his boyfriend.
