First of all, I apologize to those of you who read all of my work. I'm sorry I posted absolutely nothing the past to weeks. I haven't really been in the writing mood. I've got my Muse, I've got Plot Bunnies, but no will to actually write it. However, I started a new one shot yesterday and I'm hoping that can break me out of my slump. I've only got 2 more finished chapters and if I don't get a move on, March 31 could be the last day you get an update for a while. I know exactly what I what to happen I just can't get it out. I apologize ahead of time just in case.

As with several previous chapters, this Beta'd by Shizumi!!!! I send her love!!

A couple weeks after Harry was released from the hospital wing; he received a letter from the Ministry of Magic. He knew it would be coming eventually but he hadn’t been looking forward to it.

Mr. Harry Potter,

The ministry would like to inform you that there will be no trial in the case against Ronald Bilius Weasley. Therefore, you will not be needed to testify.

Mr. Weasley has cooperated fully with ministry officials and pled guilty to the charges of sexual assault, attempted murder, and illegal termination of a pregnancy.

Next week, on January 27, 1997 at 3:00pm, a sentencing hearing will be held. Your presence is not required, though you may attend it if you wish.

Hope you are well,

Auror Kingsley Shacklebolt*

Harry sighed in relief when he read that he wouldn’t have to testify. He wasn’t sure he would be able to face Ron again or if he’d be able to talk about in front of him and a bunch of other people he didn’t know. It wasn’t very hard to decide he wouldn’t be attending the hearing.

After a month, things had gotten relatively back to normal, something Harry was rather glad for. It felt a little weird without Ron there, but he hardly noticed with how much time he spent with Draco.

Now that Ron was gone, there was nothing stopping them from being together. But they didn’t seem to do anything any differently. They spent two of their meals in Draco's room and one in the Great Hall to spend time with their friends. A few people seemed to notice the increased amount of time the two boys were together but it wasn’t enough to get people to really care. They were grateful for this.

Nightmares had plagued Harry's mind for a while. He’d wake in a cold sweat, sobbing into his pillow. Once he was calm enough to walk, he’d get out of bed and quickly make his way to Draco's room. It only took three nights of this for Harry to start sleeping in his blonde boyfriend’s room instead of his dormitory.

One particularly nasty dream had been a replay of his experience in the graveyard during the Triwizard Tournament. Only Ron was in place of Voldemort and instead of Cedric, there was a naked, screaming infant on the ground. He’d not only woken up crying, he threw up over the edge of the bed as well.

Harry had been pleasantly surprised when nothing showed up in the paper about his ordeal, even after that much time. It appeared the ministry had decided to keep it quiet. Though, he suspected Dumbledore might have had something to do with it.

So the beginning of February found Harry sitting in the library studying, just like normal.

“Harry, can we take a break?” Draco whined.

“No. I have to pass this potions test or Snape’s going to give me detention. Again.” Harry said with his head in his hands.

“Please?” The blonde begged as he slid his chair closer to Harry.

“Shh.” Madam Pince reprimanded.

“Come on, Harry. Just ten minutes.” Draco pleaded.

“Fine.” Harry said slamming his book shut. He nearly jumped out of his chair when he looked up to see the other’s face mere inches away from his own.

Harry gave him a playful shove on the shoulder and said, “Don’t do that.”

“I’m sorry.” Draco said with a pout and then he pulled Harry onto his lap.

“Draco, we’re in the library.” Harry said, though he didn’t try to move back to his own seat.

“So? I feel like cuddling.” Draco argued.

“You always feel like cuddling.” The other countered.

“Is it wrong to want to be close to you all the time?” The stubborn blonde asked.

“No I guess not.” Harry said, crossing his arms and pouting.

Draco rested his forehead on Harry's shoulder as the two fell into a sweet silence.

“Harry?” Draco asked a few minutes later.

“Hmm?”

“Can I… kiss you?” He asked cautiously.

“Ye-yeah.” Harry replied anxiously.

Draco sat up a little straighter and gently turned Harry's head more towards him. Then he placed a short, chaste kiss on Harry's lips.

“Was that ok?” Draco asked lovingly.

“Yeah.” Was Harry's quiet answer.

“Good, because I’d like to do it again.” The blonde said just as quietly. “Ok?”

“Ok.”

This time Draco moved his lips slowly against Harry's hoping to coax a response out of him. Surprisingly, he felt Harry's lips moving with his almost right away.

When Harry didn’t pull away, Draco decided to take it a little further. He added his tongue to the mix by lightly licking the seam of the other’s lips.

Even more surprising than before, Harry opened his mouth and allowed the kiss to deepen considerably. Then the moment was ruined.

“Get out of my library!” A loud voice shrieked.

The two boys jumped so bad that Harry fell off Draco's lap and landed on his arse on the hard floor. He hid his reddening face behind his hands while Draco watched him in slight amusement.

“I said out!” The stern women said again. They both scramble to collect their things before she could send it flying out the door without them.

“Thanks a lot Draco, now I can’t study for the test.” Harry said with a cute pout as they walked out of the library.

“I’m sorry Harry. I just wanted to spend more time with you. I wish we were in the same house.” Draco said as they walked toward his room.

“It’s alright. It’s not like I haven’t failed a test before.” The dark-haired boy sighed.

Draco wrapped an arm around Harry's waist. “You know I could help you in potions, don’t you? After all that is my best class.” He asked.

“You mean Snape doesn’t just give you good grades because you’re his favorite?” Harry asked incredulously but sarcastically.

“Of course not.” The blonde replied. “While I could easily get by in life with my looks and the money I’ll inherit from my parents, I don’t want to just sit around all day for the rest of my life. I want to actually do something and for that, I actually have to know things.”

“Do you know what you want to do?” Harry asked, impressed.

Draco smiled down at his boyfriend. “I’m not really sure yet. Maybe run a business. What about you Harry?”

“Well, I wanted to be an auror for a while but I changed my mind. I think I’d like to be a teacher here at the school. Or maybe start like a pre-Hogwarts wizarding school for younger kids.” Harry said.

“That sounds like a great idea. What made you think of it?” Draco asked as he opened the door to his room.

Harry took a deep, calming breath before answering. “When I was still pregnant, I thought about what it would be like raising a magical child and how much different his childhood would have been from mine.

“Then I started thinking about how much easier it would have been for me and all the muggle-born students if we’d had someplace to teach us things about the wizarding world, like the fact that wizards can get pregnant. That would have been really nice to know before hand.” Harry explained.

“That really is a good idea, Harry.” Draco said happily. “Enough talk though.”

He then grabbed Harry by the waist and kissed him breathless.

When Draco pulled away to let them breathe, Harry's knee buckled. Luckily, the blonde held him up.

“Wow. You’re a really good kisser.” The smaller boy said as Draco sat them down on the couch.

“You are too.” He said back.

“Really?” Harry asked. “I’d never kissed anybody before.” He blushed in embarrassment.

“You’re a great kisser, Harry.” Draco reassured him. Harry smiled warmly and cuddled up to his boyfriend.

After a little while of cuddling and kissing Draco asked, “Hey, how about we go on our first date on the next Hogsmeade weekend?”

“That’s sounds really nice but what is there to do in Hogsmeade?” Harry asked.

“Whatever you want to do is fine with me. But I was thinking that we could get just something to eat at The Three Broomsticks and then just kind of walk around and buy stuff.” Draco explained.

Harry smiled up at him. “Ok then, we’ll do that. When’s the next Hogsmeade weekend anyway?”

Draco thought for a moment. “It’s in a couple of weeks, right after Valentine’s Day.” He answered.

“So it’s a date?” Harry asked.

“It’s a date.” Draco replied. The two of them then spent the rest of the afternoon trying to swallow each other’s tongue.

----

Hogsmeade weekend couldn’t come fast enough for either of them. Every minute seemed to last an hour, every hour seemed to last a day. By the time that Saturday came around, Harry was a nervous wreck.

At ten o’clock, Harry put on his cloak and headed down to the court yard and then across the bridge where he and Draco agreed to meet. He was delayed in the entrance hall though. It seemed Neville had spilled a botched potion he had been working on and it was melting everyone’s shoes to the floor. He had to wait on the marble stair case as Professors Snape and McGonagall cleaned it up and got everyone unstuck.

Harry hurried across the entrance hall but came to a stop when he heard someone call his name. He turned to see Professor McGonagall coming toward him.

“Harry.” She started.

“Yes, Professor?” He asked.

“I just wanted to make sure you were doing alright.” She said kindly.

“I’m fine Professor, really.” He said quickly, trying to subtly inch his way toward the door.

She smiled and patted him on the shoulder before hurrying off after a group of mischievous looking third years.

Harry sighed and turned to head out the door only to find his way blocked by the half-giant Hagrid. He mentally face-palmed himself. The world seemed to be conspiring against him and his date.

“Hello, Harry.” Hagrid said, beaming down at him.

Harry put on the best happy face he could before looking up and replying, “Hi, Hagrid.”

Ever since he heard about what Ron had done to Harry, Hagrid had taken to coming up to the castle several times a day to make sure Harry was alright.

“Where ya off ter? Hogsmeade?” He asked cheerfully. The boy nodded and tried to move around his large friend. “Why don’ I join ya?” He said as Harry finally managed to make it out the door.

Harry looked back without stopping and said, “No that’s ok, Hagrid. I think I know where it is by now.”

“I been meanin’ ter make a trip there meself.” He said, quickly catching up with Harry. It seemed he thought Ron would spring up from behind a tree and try to hex him.

“Really, Hagrid, I’m fine. I can get there myself.” Harry said, politely trying to get him to leave as they made their way across the courtyard.

“Why—”

“Because, I’ve got a date and I’m already late as it is!” Harry bellowed.

The half-giant stopped in his tracks. “I’m sorry, Harry. I didn’ mean ter intrude.” He apologized.

“It’s alright. You didn’t know.” The boy said with a sigh.

“So uh, if ya don’ mind me askin’, who’s the lucky lady?” Hagrid quietly inquired.

“Um… well, it’s not a lady.” Harry said nervously as he walked onto the bridge.

“Really? Then what… oh. I didn’ know ya were that way, Harry.” He said, surprised.

Harry continued walking at a hurried pace, trying to keep ahead from the other’s huge strides. He didn’t think Hagrid would like the person he’s dating very much.

“Yeah, I haven’t exactly told anybody. I didn’t think it would be a good idea to give the Slytherins anything else to make fun of me for.” Harry replied hastily.

Hagrid smiled down at the boy. “I s’pose I’ll just make me way down to me hut then.” He said as they neared the end of the bridge.

“It was nice seeing you, Hagrid.” Harry said as they stepped off the bridge. He waved and they parted ways.

A second later though, Harry slipped on a patch of ice and fell flat on his back. A shout of, “Fuck!” and someone yelling, “Harry!” had Hagrid turning back around to see what happened.

Draco, who had been standing just to the right of Harry's vision, had quickly moved to help the, mostly likely, bruised boy off the ground.

“What do ya think yer doin’ Malfoy?” Hagrid nearly roared as he stomped over to them, “Get yer hands off’a Harry!”

“Hagrid, it’s alright.” Harry said once he was off the ground. But Hagrid didn’t seem to hear him.

“What’d ya do, jinx ‘im? Or just shove ‘im when his back was turned?” The enraged Hagrid yelled as he advanced on Draco.

Draco retreated as fast as his feet could carry him but quickly found himself against a wall. He moved his eyes from Hagrid’s red face to Harry's, silently pleading with him to make the half-giant leave.

“Ya think its funny ter –” Hagrid was cut off when he walked into an invisible force field. He looked back at Harry and saw that his wand was out and pointing directly between the two of them. Harry had cast Protego between them.

The confused Hagrid looked back and forth between the two boys for a moment and asked, “Am… am I missin’ somethin’?”

Harry lowered his wand and the force field flickered and disappeared. Then he walked over to Draco and took his hand.

“Draco… is my date.” Said Harry, unable to meet the dark eyes watching him.

Instead of backing down and apologizing for his mistake, Hagrid turned his gaze back to the blonde boy.

“What’d ya do ter ‘im? Did ya use the Imperius Curse on ‘im or jus’ confund ‘im?” Hagrid roared. He made to move toward Draco again but Harry stepped between them.

Once again confused, Hagrid looked down at the dark-haired, sixteen year old boy and smiled a bit.

“He’s the one who’s been helping me get through all of this Hagrid.” Harry gently said to his first real friend.

Hagrid expression softened completely and he backed away from the pair that was still holding hands. “I guess I’ll leave ya ter it then.” He said softly, then turned and walked away.

He stopped, looked back over his shoulder, and said to Draco, “If I ever find out that ya laid a single harmful hand on Harry, I’ll kill ya with me bare hands.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t.” Draco said, much more calmly than he actually felt at the moment, and smiled at Harry.

They watched Hagrid for a second before Harry pulled Draco in the opposite direction, said, “Let’s go,” and they were off to Hogsmeade.

*Remember, Harry defeated Voldemort 4th year which means he wasn't escorted to Grimmauld Place later that summer. So, he never met Kingsley.

Hagrid is an unbelievably difficult character to write speech for. You wouldn't imagine how many times I re-read through that section just to make sure he didn't sound to proper.
