A/N: I promise the kids will be coming back in here soon. Harry still needs some time to get through that thick gorgon skull of Draco's though.

Draco was dreadfully bored. Though he was far warmer and more comfortable in the Chamber of Secrets than he had been out in the wilds he had far less to do inside. He didn’t have to scrounge for food or look around desperately for something to try and keep warm with. Nor did he have to constantly duck away from centaurs or Hagrid or that weird living car that had nearly run him down a few times.
No, he had his food brought to him and the fire was always burning with enough heat to keep him from curling up and hibernating or dying. Though Harry visited every day so far, it wasn’t often for very long. He had his children and his job to take care of. So, Draco had taken to exploring the pipes in his infinite amount of free time. He couldn’t go too far since he still needed the heat of the fire but he’d found a few interesting hidey holes around from his explorations. And it gave him something to do. He’d even gotten rid of the large snake skeleton, simply because it had begun to make him uncomfortable.
Draco was actually tempted to try and sneak up into the school just to see if he could find something to do. But he dismissed the idea. The last thing he needed to do was cause another event like their second year. Or make another Moaning Myrtle. No, the school would not be big enough for two of them. Though he got on well with Myrtle, she was terribly depressing and Draco didn’t need more reason to be depressed.
“Draco?”
The pale gorgon shook himself out of his thoughts and raised his head slightly even as he closed his eyes. “I’m here,” he hissed back. “I’m always here.”
Harry frowned as he walked over to where Draco was curled up on his bed. “What’s the matter?”
Draco sighed and thought about not answering but knew that if he didn’t answer Harry would just pester him. “I’m not a pet.”
“I know that. I don’t think you are,” Harry said instantly.
Draco frowned. “It’s not that I think you think that, Harry. It’s just all I can do down here is sit around and talk to the snakes,” he said gesturing to a few snakes that were slithering past his bed. “They don’t have that much to say… Outside it wasn’t much different except at least there I had things to go out and look for. Here I don’t even have anything to keep myself busy with.”
Harry’s frown grew. He didn’t want to make Draco more miserable and, though he was clearly more comfortable here, Draco did make a good point. What had Harry really expected the Gorgon to be doing down here all alone all the time? “I don’t want you to be bored, Draco,” Harry said as he sat down beside a thick coil of scales. “I could grab you some books from the library or something. You said you still remember how to read.”
Draco nodded in agreement. “I do. And it’s better than nothing,” he hissed softly.
Harry thought for a few minutes, not wanting to just give up at the first obvious answer. “What about Scorpius?”
“What about him?” Draco asked back.
“Well, I know you don’t want your parents to know about you but what about your brother? I mean, you’ve never met each other. Wouldn’t you like to know him?” Harry asked.
“He could tell our parents…” Draco pointed out. “I can’t risk it. Besides, I scared him and your boys witless earlier in the year.”
Harry gave an exasperated noise. “Fine, but if you’d let me just tell someone about you then you wouldn’t be so lonely down here. McGon-”
“Don’t even suggest it,” Draco hissed in warning. “As Headmistress she’d be obligated to kick me out of here. She has the board making she that she has to think about the student’s safety. I’m not safe. There’s no way she’d just be fine with me staying down here.”
“She’s not like that,” Harry protested. “She let me bring Rose here even though it’s not common practice.” Draco grunted some but didn’t respond. Harry took that to mean he was going to be stubborn again. Suddenly, Harry thought of something. “Speaking of Rose… were you really the one that fished her out of the river?” he asked softly.
Draco tensed up a little. “Does it matter?”
“It does to me. You saved her life, Draco,” Harry said, putting a hand on the pale shoulder beside him. “Didn’t you?”
Draco was silent for several minutes before sighing. “She heard me moving around and I thought she was going to spot me. But then she turned to leave. I put it out of my head and started back home when I heard the splash,” he explained. “I wasn’t just going to let some little girl drown. I didn’t realize she was yours until I saw Hagrid giving her back to you.”
Harry studied the Gorgon’s face for a moment before moving. He wasn’t even aware of doing it until he was kissing Draco’s pale lips. Draco seemed equally surprised and his eyes flew open. Harry, luckily, had closed his own before Draco’s could fully open so their eyes didn’t meet. Draco’s hands grabbed hold of Harry’s hips, which were somehow, suddenly, against his own. Harry had ended up straddling the first bit of Malfoy’s tail with his hands pressed against his pale chest. Draco was beyond shocked at the reaction but the feel of a warm body pressed against his and Harry’s warm mouth over his made him moan in pleasure. It was the most amazing feeling he’d had yet and it got his blood running warmer than usual.
Harry pulled back from the kiss a moment later, leaving Draco panting slightly in surprise and a bit of arousal. “Don’t belittle what you did, Draco,” Harry said, moving a hand up to brush his thumb across Draco’s chin. “You saved my daughter. You aren’t the monster that the books say you are. You’re a good man and I’m going to prove it to you.”
Draco swallowed hard, his grip on Harry’s hips tightening without him noticing. “Harry…”
“Don’t try and argue with me, Draco. I’m more stubborn than you,” Harry declared before kissing the gorgon again though this time it was just a quick peck on the lips. “Let me at least talk to Hermione. You know that she’s smarter than both of us. She can figure out how to turn you back to normal.”
Draco hesitated, his old way of thinking still lingered enough to make him dislike the idea of going to the girl for help. Besides, she really had no reason to help him. He’d made her life unpleasant to say the least during school and the war. “Why would she help me, Harry?” he asked softly.
“Because she’s a good person, Draco. Like I know you are deep down,” Harry said softly. “Don’t let what he did to you win.”
Draco was still uneasy but if he had any chance of being turned back to normal he knew he would probably need the witch’s help. He sighed heavily and nodded some. “Alright. But only her. If we can’t fix this I don’t want to become the spectacle.”
“That’s fine but it will get fixed,” Harry insisted.
“You’re too much an optimist sometimes, Harry…”
Harry chuckled some at that. “But then I’m really not…”
