Chapter 12
X
Harry followed Draco through the dungeons and they stopped just outside of a large door. Draco knocked loudly, his face already expressionless. Lucius opened the door and ushered them in, smiling brightly.
“I’m glad you could join us, Harry,” the man said, taking a seat at a round table that was already piled with plates of hash browns, bacon, eggs, toast, and a pitcher of orange juice.
“Me, too,” Harry replied, smiling as he and Draco sat at the table, as well.
“Was there something in specific that you wanted to talk about, Father?” Draco asked, filling Harry’s plate first.
“I can do that myself…” Harry said, raising an eyebrow at him.
“Please, Harry… I’ve seen the pathetic meals you eat,” Draco chastised, “You’re far too skinny.”
“You, Pomfrey, and Mrs. Weasley should get together sometime,” Harry said, grinning, “You could dedicate the entire conversation to bettering my eating habits.”
However, despite what he said, Harry actually liked that Draco fussed over him, and promptly set about cleaning his plate as soon as it was in front of him.
Lucius merely smiled at them throughout the exchange. “It’s nice to see my son acting like a normal child, for once.”
Harry grinned, making sure to swallow before speaking. “What do you mean?”
Draco narrowed his eyes at the boy, but remained silent.
“Draco has always been a quiet, withdrawn child. Even as a toddler, he preferred to stay inside and study, rather than play outside. As a result, he became very cold and calculating,” Lucius said, smiling sadly, “I’m afraid I didn’t help much in that aspect. The roles that certain… circumstances forced upon me, made it so I could not show my son the amount of affection he needed. I had feared that he would forever wear the Malfoy mask. However, I am quite glad to see I was wrong.”
Harry smiled brightly. “I’m glad to see I was wrong about you, as well.”
Draco rolled his eyes.
Harry kicked him under the table, giving him a pointed look. His only reply was a scowl and a sharp kick in return. It was Harry’s turn to roll his eyes.
Lucius chuckled. “Harry, I hope you don’t think me terribly rude for asking, but what, exactly, is your relationship with my son?”
Draco coughed loudly. “Well, we should probably be going, Father. Lots of homework to do, you know.” He pushed back from the table and stood, pulling Harry with him toward the door.
“Apparently, we’re leaving,” Harry said, wrenching his arm out of Draco’s grip and turning back to Lucius, “I really enjoyed our talk- however short it was.” He glared at Draco.
“As did I,” Lucius replied, “You will come back again, so that we may continue this discussion, won’t you?”
“Of course!” Harry said with a smile, “Both of us.”
“And feel free to visit on your own, Harry,” Lucius added, “I know you must have a lot on your mind with everything that has been going on. Know that you may talk to me any time you wish.”
“Thank you, very much. I really do appreciate that,” Harry said, “See you later!”
Draco finally managed to pull him from the room and shut the door quickly, dragging Harry all the way up to his room. When the door closed behind them, Harry rounded on Draco, angry.
“What the hell was that all about?” he demanded, “It was just a simple question. He’s your dad, Draco. Shouldn’t that count for something?”
Draco grimaced. “He’s never been much of a father, though, has he?”
“But that doesn’t change the fact that he is your father. He raised you,” Harry said, “Why don’t you want him to know about us?”
“Because I don’t trust him,” Draco said stubbornly.
Harry sighed. “Well, since you cut our breakfast short, what do you want to do, now?”
“We could always go to the library and study,” Draco suggested.
Harry groaned. “It’s too early to think about studying…”
“Then how about we go outside and relax by the lake?” Draco asked.
Harry’s face suddenly fell and he turned away quickly to hide his pain. “I don’t feel… like going to the lake today.”
Draco sighed. Of course… Dumbledore’s tomb. “I’m sorry, Harry,” he said, wrapping his arms around the boy from behind, freezing when he felt him tense. “What’s wrong?”
Harry turned around in the embrace. “Nothing. You just startled me…”
‘Right… so sneaking up on him from behind is a bad idea…’ Draco thought.
“Would you like to go flying?” Draco asked.
Harry looked up at him, his face alight. He nodded vigorously.
Draco chuckled. “Go grab your broom and change into something more suitable and then meet me on the pitch.”
Harry sped off, looking forward to a day of flying with Draco. He dressed in simple black jeans, a tight, green button-up tee shirt with a black barbed-wire pattern trim and black boots. He grabbed his Firebolt and headed for the Quidditch Pitch, where Draco was waiting for him.
They flew until eleven, having drawn a sizeable crowd, showered, and then headed up to the library to get most of their homework out of the way- much to Harry’s disappointment. After which, it was nearly time for lunch, so they walked at a leisurely pace to the Great Hall.
“Oi! Where were you at breakfast, Harry?” Ron asked as they sat down.
“We had breakfast with Mr. Malfoy,” he replied.
“Why?” Ron asked, wrinkling his nose in distaste, “He could have poisoned you, Harry.”
“I really don’t think he would do that, Ron,” Harry said.
“Why do you trust him?” Ron asked.
“I believe he’s changed,” he stated with complete confidence.
Draco sighed. “You’re so naïve. My father hasn’t changed. He’s acting… something he’s very good at.”
Hermione cleared her throat. “Let’s not talk about this right now, okay? It’s ruining my appetite.”
Harry chuckled. “I agree. We can discuss this later.”
They spent the remainder of the meal in light conversations about classes and Quidditch and the upcoming meeting. Much to their dismay, Hermione was already working on their NEWT study schedule.
“Hermione, it’s not even a week into the school year!” Ron exclaimed.
“It’s never too early to start planning,” she said.
“But… Hermione, it’s way too early to start thinking about that,” Harry said.
“Nonsense, Harry, it’s never too early,” she reiterated, “I just want us all to be prepared.”
Draco grinned. “I think they actually have a point, Hermione. I think studying is very important, but if you make them start working now, they’ll become rather stressed, don’t you think? And if they’re stressing about NEWTs so early in the year, they might not be able to concentrate on their classes. And then the exams won’t even matter, because they’ll have to repeat their seventh year.”
She gasped. “I never though of it like that! You’re absolutely right, Draco, they are far too pressured as it is. The schedule can wait until after the Winter Hols, at the very least.”
Harry and Ron looked at Draco in adoration, silently mouthing ‘thank you’.
At that very moment, a rather heavy bag was slammed down onto the table in front of them. They looked up, startled, to see Neville Longbottom, looking angrier than he’d ever been in their seven years of knowing. Before they could ask what was wrong, though, he growled and sat down.
“You guys will never guess what just happened in the hallway,” he snarled.
“Probably not…” Harry groaned, “Go ahead and tell us, Nev.”
“Some fifth and sixth year Slytherins were saying that Harry had to have put Draco under some spell,” he explained, “Apparently, that’s the only way Draco would have ever betrayed You-Know-Who and become friends with us, lowly Gryffindors.”
“Is that is?” Ron asked.
Neville smirked, shocking them. “Oh no… that’s not all. Ginny and I were just about to hex them into oblivion, when Pansy and Blaise knocked them on their asses. Quite literally. Just sort of bumped into them- very violently- and Pansy made a remark about weak-willed individuals who need to learn their place and keep their mouths shut. It was rather amusing.”
Draco chuckled. “Yeah, that sounds like them.”
“Was that all that they said?” Harry asked, worried that something may have been said about revenge.
“Yes… well, that’s all we heard anyway,” Neville said, “Why? Are you expecting them to try and hurt us?”
“Not you all, but me or Draco, sure,” Harry replied.
“Nobody can hurt us,” Draco said dismissively, “We’re two exceptionally powerful wizards. And, if all else fails, I can always turn on the old Malfoy charm and you can just turn those big, innocent green eyes on them. Trust me. They wouldn’t be able to resist…” ‘I know I can’t…’
Harry blushed and looked away from the blonde, making them laugh.
“There are several other rumors going around school, though,” Parvati said, jumping into the conversation.
“Yes, that’s right! Most of them are completely absurd, naturally, but some of them actually have some merit,” Lavender added.
“Like the one about Harry and Draco’s secret trysts on the Quidditch Pitch?” Parvati suggested.
“Oh yes! And about their sordid affair, when Draco’s really betrothed to a Spanish Princess,” Lavender said, sighing wistfully, “However, he’s fallen madly in love with Harry and now they’re both being eaten by their guilt!”
Harry groaned. “Make them stop, somebody!”
“That’s enough!” Hermione snapped, “We can discuss the rumors and the possibility of some of them being dangerous after dinner.”
They caught the subtle hint about the meeting and quieted down significantly.
“Thank Merlin…” Harry said, “If I had to listen to one more fantasy about my love life, I was going to be sick.”
“Yes, the truth of the matter isn’t nearly as romantic…” Draco said, grinning at them.
“What the hell?” Neville exclaimed, “Does he mean-?”
“We’d better get to class, Draco,” Harry stated, pulling Draco to his feet and dragging him out of the Great Hall.
“Did he not even realize that it’s Saturday when he said that?” Ginny added, “Do you think there might be some truth to those rumors?”
“No way!” Neville said vehemently.
“Yeah, Harry would have told us,” Seamus said.
Ron and Hermione exchanged a knowing smile and went back to eating their lunch calmly.
“Why’d you say that?” Harry asked, dropping Draco’s hand and halting.
Draco smiled. “We have to tell them sometime. It’s not right to keep secrets from your friends.”
Harry sighed, leaning against a wall. “I know… we’ll tell them all at the meeting tonight.”
“Good,” Draco said, “We have some time before lunch is over. Was there anything you wanted to talk about?”
“Not really…” Harry replied, “What about you?”
“Nothing that should be discussed in the hallway. Shall we move this conversation to my place?” Draco asked, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.
Harry was pleasantly surprised when this method of teasing did nothing but make him smile. “Whatever. Let’s just go.”
When they reached Draco’s room, Harry wasted no time in diving onto the bed and making himself quite comfortable on the blonde’s pillows. Draco grinned.
“Oh sure. Make yourself comfortable,” he said dramatically.
Harry smirked. “Honestly, Draco, don’t you think that kind of formality is unnecessary? Seeing as I’ve already slept here and I spend more time in these rooms than I do in my own dormitory.”
Draco chuckled. “I suppose you might have a point.”
“So… what was it you wanted to talk about?” Harry asked as Draco took a seat in a large plush armchair.
“Oh, nothing in particular,” Draco replied, “I just wanted an excuse to be alone with you.”
Harry smiled. “You wanted to be alone with me, but you’re all the way over there?”
“Well, if you insist…” Draco said, chuckling as he crossed the room to the bed. He settled himself down next to Harry, drawing the smaller boy into his arms and sighing contentedly.
Harry closed his eyes and relaxed into the embrace. He felt more at ease with Draco than he had in a long time. Something about the blonde made Harry feel safe and protected. Most other people just made him feel skittish and jumpy, but on the few occasions when he was with Draco like this, all of his problems seemed like distant memories. Again he realized that, while he was fine with holding each other and small kisses, it would be a while before he was ready to progress as far as he’d like to.
“I’m sorry, Draco…” he said softly.
“For what?” Draco asked.
“For- making you wait,” Harry replied.
“Wait for what?” Draco asked, slowly becoming more and more confused.
Harry blushed. “For… you know. The stuff that couples do- together.”
Draco looked down at him, his mouth agape and his expression showing his disbelief quit clearly. And then he laughed. Harry gave a little ‘humph’ and pushed away from him angrily.
“Well, pardon me for voicing my anxieties,” he snapped.
Draco tightened his hold on the Gryffindor, his laughter subsiding into small chuckles. “Harry, wait, you don’t understand…”
“Let me go,” he said, pushing harder.
“No, I don’t think I want to,” Draco said, “Harry…. I wasn’t laughing at you- well, not really.”
“Then what were you laughing at?” Harry asked.
Draco smiled fondly. “I just thought we were already doing what couples do.”
Harry looked at him, perplexed. “But, I-”
“I know, Harry. I know you’re not ready for sex, I understand that you’re scared, and I would never force anything on you- or rather… in you.” Harry blushed and pinched Draco’s side, all the while hiding his face in the boy’s shoulder. “Ow! Anyway, we’ve been in a relationship for- what?- less than a day? I didn’t expect you to just jump into bed with me.”
Harry looked up at him, raising an eyebrow and gesturing to their current location.
“You know what I mean,” Draco said, rolling his eyes, “We have plenty of time to work up to that level of intimacy, okay? Until then, I’m perfectly fine with simply holding you in my arms.”
Harry blushed again and mumbled something against Draco’s shoulder.
“What? I didn’t quite catch that,” Draco said, smirking.
“I said… I- like kisses… too,” Harry repeated.
Rather than reply, Draco tipped Harry’s chin up to plant a tender kiss on his lips. When he pulled away, he smiled. “I’m glad… because I like kissing you.” He leaned in again to kiss him again, this time adding more pressure. He turned Harry on his back so that he was leaning over him, bracing himself on his right elbow. His other hand moved up to caress Harry’s cheek as he swiped his tongue across the boy’s lips.
Harry parted them obligingly and was only vaguely surprised when he felt the slick muscle begin exploring his mouth. He gripped the front of Draco’s shirt tightly, gasping when the blonde’s tongue slid across his own, urging him to respond. He mimicked Draco’s movements and was rewarded with an appreciative moan, spurring him on until both of their tongues were battling for dominance in the kiss. A battle which Draco won. Surprisingly, this didn’t upset Harry in the least. He enjoyed letting Draco lead, giving himself over to the wonderful sensations coursing through his body.
Draco trailed his hand down Harry’s body, sliding it under his shirt to rest just above his hip. He wouldn’t take it any further than that, not wanting to frighten him away so early in their relationship. He finally pulled away from the raven-haired boy, nipping playfully at his bottom lip as he did, and they panted for breath. He smiled in satisfaction, resting his forehead against Harry’s and looking into his sparkling emerald eyes, noticing a few tiny specks of gold within their depths.
“Wow…” Harry breathed, “That was… wow.”
“Pretty good, then?” Draco teased.
“A right sight better than the disastrous kiss with Cho or anything I shared with Ginny- no offense to her, of course,” Harry replied.
“Of course. I am an expert in my field,” Draco said smugly, flipping onto his back.
“Then I guess I should be glad that I’ll have your talents all to myself,” Harry said, pressing himself into Draco’s side.
Draco wrapped one arm around Harry’s waist, placing the other behind his head. “Yes, consider yourself blessed.”
Harry chuckled.
“You aren’t wearing a tongue ring today…” Draco said suddenly.
Harry chuckled. “I haven’t worn a ring in my tongue or my nipple since school began.”
“You’ve been wearing a glamour as well, eh?” Draco scolded, remembering the bath he and Hermione had given Harry the night before.
“It’s actually a potion. The spell is fickle and could wear out at an inopportune moment,” Harry said, grinning sheepishly, “I didn’t want anybody else finding out quite yet.”
“I’m actually kind of glad,” Draco said, “Tongue rings are sexy, and it’ll feel especially good when… erm- never mind that… but they tend to get in the way when you’re kissing.”
Harry quirked an eyebrow at him. “When what? Finish the sentence.”
Draco smirked. “When you suck my-”
“Okay! I got it! Don’t finish that sentence!” Harry exclaimed, blushing a brilliant shade of red.
“You asked…” Draco said, kissing the top of his head, “Don’t worry though. That’s something else we’ll work up to. Although I certainly hope we get to that sooner than we get to sex.”
Harry groaned in embarrassment. “Just stop talking already…”
“What’s wrong? Oh… you’ve never given head before, have you?” Draco teased, chuckling, “I’ll do it to you first, never fear. It’s much easier once you know what it feels like.”
Harry buried his face in the cloth of Draco’s shirt. “Please stop talking. This is too embarrassing.”
“We would have to talk about it eventually, you know,” Draco said softly, smiling warmly at the mop of dark hair, “It’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”
Harry sighed. “Is there any way to shut you up?”
“Only one,” Draco said, grinning.
He was surprised when Harry looked up at him, still blushing, and pressed his lips to the blonde’s chastely before hiding his face in Draco’s shirt again.
“Happy now?” Harry said, his voice only slightly muffled.
“I think you can do better than that,” Draco said, “Or we could go back to our conversation…”
Harry sighed, rolling his eyes at the spoiled attitude. Nevertheless, he covered Draco’s lips with his own again, this time more insistently. Draco smirked into the kiss, quickly taking control and kissing Harry fiercely, fueled by the quiet moans and little mewls that Harry gave every so often. They were both so absorbed in the kiss that neither noticed their audience until Hermione cleared her throat. They parted and Harry made to move away, but Draco held fast to the boy’s slim waist.
“Did you need something?” Draco snapped, turning to face those who had imposed upon his time with Harry.
“Well, that’s not a sight I thought I’d see in this lifetime,” Blaise said, grinning, “The girls in this school will be absolutely devastated to find out that the two sexiest bachelors at Hogwarts are taken… by each other.”
Pansy giggled. “I know my heart is broken beyond repair. Shattered into a thousand tiny pieces!”
Harry blushed, suddenly finding the fabric of Draco’s shirt very interesting. “I’m not sexy…” he muttered.
“Bullocks! You most certainly are,” Pansy retorted.
Harry glanced over at their visitors to find that Ron, who hadn’t said a single thing since he entered the room, was bearing a strange resemblance to an ill goldfish. His mouth was opening and closing rapidly and he had paled considerably, making his freckles stand out in sharp contrast. Harry resisted the urge to laugh at his friend, focusing his attention on Draco’s shirt again.
“So why are you here?” Draco growled, annoyed that they didn’t seem to have a reason for disturbing him.
“Hermione said that she saw you two kiss earlier and Pansy and I didn’t believe her, so we came here for confirmation,” Blaise said, “Obviously found it…”
Draco rolled his eyes. “That’s your excuse?”
“Well, I suppose next time you want to be left alone, you’ll remember to lock the doors,” Hermione said, smiling.
Draco rolled his eyes. “Maybe you all should learn the importance of knocking before you walk in on something a little more- explicit.”
“One can only hope,” Pansy said brightly, making Blaise laugh.
“Indeed…” Draco said, sounding very much like Snape, “Weasley! Would you stop gaping like that?! It’s rather annoying. We were only snogging, it’s not like you walked in on us rutting!”
Ron shut his mouth, wrinkling his nose. “Thanks for those lovely mental images, Malfoy.”
“Any time,” Draco replied, “Now if you’d all kindly clear out? We’ll see you later.”
“I’ll come and get you two for dinner,” Hermione said, “Just in case you decide to take a nap.”
“Be sure to come alone,” Draco said.
Hermione smiled at him, shutting the door behind them. When they were gone, he turned to Harry.
“That was so embarrassing,” Harry groaned.
“It wasn’t that bad. It could have been my father or Sev,” Draco said.
“Oh, Merlin forbid!” Harry exclaimed, “That would go way beyond embarrassing!”
Draco laughed. “So… do you want to pick up where we left off, or should we take Hermione’s advice and take a nap?”
“Let’s take a nap,” Harry said, “Those guys pretty much killed any mood there was…”
Draco smiled when he heard the distinct note of disappointment in his tone. “Right then, a nap it is.”

True to her word, Hermione woke them for dinner. They disentangled themselves from one another and, yawning, accompanied her to the Great Hall.
“Hey… Draco?” Harry said as they took their seats.
“Yeah?” Draco replied.
“What happened to that package I got yesterday?” he asked.
“Hermione took it up to my room,” Draco said.
“Nobody opened it, did they?” Harry said.
“No… why?” Draco asked.
“Just because,” Harry replied, grinning, “I can’t wait for the meeting.”
Draco raised an eyebrow at him, but didn’t press the matter.
“Harry, Harry!” Colin Creevey exclaimed, rushing over to him, “Is it true?”
“Is what true, Colin?” Harry asked, rolling his eyes.
“Is it true that you’ve been spending the night in Malfoy’s room?” Colin practically squeaked.
“Yeah, why?” he said.
Colin’s eyes widened and he shook his head quickly. “Nothing. No reason.” And with that he hurried away again.
“I wonder what that’s about…” Draco said.
“You don’t think he could be a spy, do you?” Harry asked.
“For who?” Draco retorted, “The Dark Lord?”
Harry snorted. “No. But he could be spying for somebody who doesn’t care for you too much. Or somebody who doesn’t care for me.”
“The only problem with that is who would be plotting something like that?” Draco said, “According to Pansy and Blaise, our fears about the other Slytherins were completely unwarranted.”
“I don’t know. I don’t think it could be anybody in Hufflepuff, they’re not the types to do something like that,” Harry said.
“Maybe somebody in Gryffindor?”
Harry scoffed, looking offended. “I highly doubt that!”
“Well, then that only leaves Ravenclaw,” Draco said, “Although, you do realize that he was probably just curious. He’s been completely obsessed with you since he came to this school.”
Harry laughed. “You’re right. I don’t know what is wrong with me, thinking that Colin was spying on me… I feel so stupid, now.”
“Just forget about it. It’s okay to feel a little paranoid after all of the crap you’ve been through,” Draco said, smirking, “I just don’t know why you trust my father, if you’re even wary of little Colin Creevey.”
“It was just a momentary paranoia. It’s not like I think that everybody’s out to get me,” Harry said, “Until he gives me a reason not to, I’m going to trust your father’s sincerity.”
Draco sighed. “It really is a useless battle, isn’t it?”
“Yes, it is,” Harry stated, grinning, “Now, I’m going to go get ready for the meeting and open that package. See you in a bit.” He walked out of the Great Hall, leaving more than half of his food on the plate.
“What could he possibly have to get ready?” Ron asked.
“And what is so important about that package?” Hermione added.
Draco smirked. “I don’t know, but I think we’re going to find out.”

Done! This chapter is done! Finally. I know I promised the meeting in this chapter, but it was getting so long. First thing in the next, though! Until then!
