Yes. He likes Draco, but he has no idea if the liking could become love, whether he would want it even if it did, and what he would have to give up to keep and maintain Draco's love. Draco, after all, is a good liar and actor too. Harry has not seen or learned everything about him.

It makes me wonder if Draco actually *would* insist that he stop. I think he would understand more than Harry gives him credit for.

Maybe he would. But a) Harry doesn't want to take that chance and b) there still might be some restrictions, like Draco insisting that he not accept certain cases because there might be a risk that his client would want to sleep with him.

Harry's perspective is a little more complex than the weak Harry Potter at the core of Metamorphosis. He thinks Metamorphosis succeeds because of the Manager and the personas he creates, not because of him. He takes every single positive quality and strips it away from himself into something else, or attributes it to others' perception of the way he acts. Because of that, he doesn't really think of himself that often; Harry Potter is just a transit station on the way to other people.

And yes, it will. Thank you for commenting.
