Title: Give me just one night
Pairing: DracoxSeverus, RemusxHarry
Fandom: HP
Notes: Draco Malfoy heir to one of the richest fortunes in the British Wizarding world does the unexpected; he falls in love with the wrong person. Struggling to stay true to himself he tries to forge his own path. Yes this is a bit different from my usual story…it just came to me as I was about to doze off last night.
Chapter 7
It was the day before the first day of term; Harry had helped moved Remus and Sirius into Severus’ apartments at Hogwarts.
It wasn’t until Uncle Severus walked in; Harry realized their little game had a huge hole in it. He blanched.
Severus glared, “I am not quite that frightful Mr. Potter.”
Harry swallowed, “There it one problem we forgot.”
Severus sniffed, “Oh really?”
Harry nodded, “Sirius.”
“That mangy dog is not moving into my rooms.” Severus sneered.
Harry nodded, “I doubt very much that he would be welcome in mine either.”
“Perhaps, it would be wise to put him St. Mungos. Merlin knows how dangerous this game we’re playing is without adding that mad dog to the list of complications.”
Remus sighed, “He made me promise…”
“He’s not sane. He needs more help then you two can give him. You know that Remus. Don’t be a complete dunderhead. Our relationships are bloody complicated enough without adding him into the equation.” Severus snapped. “He needed proper care with you both in classes, how can he get that treatment? He would want you to have a life, he would want you to find love and build a relationship. When he was sane he wanted those things. He’s broken- the Cruciatus broke his mind. Blame Bellatrix. Stop being a coward and hiding behind the bloody Marauders.”
Remus let out a small sigh, “Alright…for Harry’s sake.”
Severus snorted. “For your own and do it today. Harry has to ride the train with Draco tomorrow and begin their fake courtship with witnesses.”
Harry winced, “Well I’m going to go let Amaryllis know to fly here. I hate caging her, I think it’s barbaric.”
XoooooX
Draco was wringing his hands in his robes as he waited uneasily for Harry to show up.
Trust that idiotic soon-to-nephew to decide to be fashionably late to make sure they were clearly the centre of attention.
Harry was Apparated in by Remus.
Draco watched him swallow and then search for him.
Harry smirked clapping Remus on the back and strode over hands in his pockets, leaning over to whisper, “Miss me?”
There were a variety of reactions to that.
Harry smirked at Remus, “See you at school Remus!” he brought Draco’s hand to his lips.
“Draco! Unhand him this instant you dirty Halfblood!”
Harry scowled, “Parkinson.”
The Slytherin witch ignored him, “Draco? Are you alright? Do you want me to hex him?”
Draco shook his head, “He’s courting me.”
Pansy gasped hand on her heart, “Does your father know about this?”
Harry chuckled, “Of course. We’ve even had private rooms arranged.”
“Why? You could have any witch you wanted…” Pansy glared at him while addressing Draco.
Draco sneered, “Maybe I don’t want a witch. I might be bent.”
Pansy turned red and hurried away.
Harry led him into the train.
They were met with whispers and gasps.
“Is that the Ice Prince of Slytherin?”
“With the King of Gryffindor?”
“Check them for Polyjuice.”
“What about love potions?”
“Check them for the Imperious.”
Harry spoke very loud, “Do you wish to sit with your housemates or mine?”
Draco blushed, “Perhaps yours for now. Mine with track me down after Pansy tells them about us.”
“In the most unflattering way I imagine.” Harry scowled.
They walked through the train, they found Harry’s friends easily.
The door palle slid open.
Grinning at them was Luna Lovegood, Draco’s cousin on his father’s side. She gave them a piercing look.
Draco recoiled from it and tried to hide behind Harry.
She leaned over to whisper, “I won’t tell.” And then stepped aside, “Look who finally showed up, the black wolf and the white dragon.”
“Hey Harry.” Neville grinned.
Seamus frowned, “What is Malfoy doing here?”
Harry led Draco to an open spot on a train seat, “You can sit there. I’ll just pull up a bit of floor with the guys.”
“Are you sure?” Draco asked softly.
“Still a Prince Malfoy?” Seamus frowned at him.
“Do you know the problem with being a prince?” Draco asked softly.
Neville frowned at him, “No.”
“My father is always away. When he is around he spends most of his time with me tearing me down. I can’t do anything well enough to please him. Mother spends more time with her friends and their societies. I have childhood companions but that is all. I don’t have anyone really to confide in. I grew up visiting Uncle Severus’ and we played together. We were drifting apart but we spent a lot of the summer together. We share a godfather and a drew other things. There is nothing special about being a prince. I’m worshiped in Slytherin but that’s not the same as having real friends.”
The door was thrown open.
Standing there glaring was Blaise Zabini, “You don’t have real friends? Then what the fuck am I then? You little shit! You didn’t even tell me you were seeing anyone! I was supposed to be your best friend. You backed me in Slytherin when Madre was the focus of rumours and other words. I would be lowest of the snakes if it weren’t for you. I had to hear from that bitch Pansy!”
Harry rose to his feet, “He didn’t mean to keep it a secret. That was my fault. Our plan was to tell you, our friends separately. Pansy was her usual nosy self. We only told her to get her to back off. We knew then that she would tell the rest of you. It wasn’t something we could help at that point. I don’t think he really meant that he didn’t have friends exactly. I think he meant that he found it harder to rely and trust members of his House as naturally as we do. It’s part of being Gryffindor to trust your companions to watch your back naturally.”
Draco swallowed, “I forgot the biggest rule in Slytherin don’t make a confession of that sort without being sure of your audience.”
“Did you mean it that you felt like you didn’t have any friends?” Blaise glared.
“I felt like I didn’t have anyone I could trust with my secrets.” Draco said quietly. “That is somewhat true. I didn’t mean to upset you by saying it. I suspect everyone has something that they don’t think they can tell even their closest friends.”
“I’ve been your friend since Madre married George! You were the first person to be kind to me. I learned English through you. Vince is dumb as a rock all brawn and no brain. Greg at least tries. Theo is so shy he just at pin drop. Don’t get me started on the girls. If you cast me off I’ve got no one.” Blaise grumbled.
Harry grinned, “Then you can hang with us. We’ve got a Ravenclaw, it’s about time we have a few Slytherins. With my courting Draco, he’s and honorary member but you can come too. I would prefer to have someone decent watching his back. Remember? I told you Zabini was a decent sort.”
Draco nodded, “I shouldn’t have phrased it the way I did. I was just nervous about telling you that I was with Harry.”
“As long as it isn’t some slut like the Weaselette I don’t care who you’re with. Potter’s a decent sort I suppose. Not my type though.” Blaise shrugged. “So you aren’t staying with us them?”
Draco shook his head, “Father arranged for us to have separate rooms, an apartment.”
“Can I stay over sometimes? To get away from the idiots?””
“No!” Draco squeaked.
Blaise frowned at him, “What? Why?”
Draco bit his lip, “You can visit. I wouldn’t tell Harry he can’t have friends over.”
“Why it’s not like you share a bed right?”
Draco paled.
Harry coughed, “Well if we did why would it matter? We have our own rooms at present, private spaces to retreat to when we want to be alone.”
“I don’t see the problem but I guess I’ll have to live with disappointment.” Blaise dismayed, “It’s not like I’m not used to disappointment.”
”I know. It’s supposed to be an experiment to see if we suit as well as we think we do.” Draco said biting his lip.
Harry noticed Luna shaking her head and her comment about ‘not telling’. What did she know?
Luna’s mother and his had been colleagues. He remembered Demeter coming by to visit when he was younger, before she died. She said that she wanted to look in on him because she had been his mother’s friend. Luna came with her and sometimes they did play together when he wasn’t visiting Severus.
Harry desperately hoped that Draco’s game wouldn’t backfire. How long could he pretend to be interested in Draco when he was with Remus?
He was sorry that Sirius was in St. Mungos’ but it would make the farce easier and it wasn’t fair to Sirius to be abandoned while they were in classes all the time. it was easier before he started school.
