A/N: I really enjoy writing this story. However, I have noticed that I�ve made little to no mention of the horcruxes. I shall rectify that. Lol. Thank you! And enjoy!

A/N2: I just realized that the song �We Are the Champions� by Queen fits pretty well with Harry. Lol. It made me smile as I was listening to it and I almost laughed out loud, but my roommate is sleeping� lol. Just a random thought for anybody who cares!

Chapter 16 (This story is moving so SLOW don�t you think? Three days have passed in like the last TEN chapters! Lol� should it move a bit faster? Do you think?)

*XVI*

�So� your relatives were pretty awful, huh?� Draco said as he and Harry walked along the edge of the lake.

Harry nodded. �My uncle was the worst. He blamed everything on me� whether Dudley�s computer broke or he lost a deal at work. And he had no qualms about punishing me for it. Dudley was almost as bad, though. He and his friends used to hunt me down and beat me up for fun. And I didn�t have any friends until Hogwarts, because all of the kids were too afraid of him and his gang to even approach me.�

�What about your aunt?� Draco asked, �Surely she noticed something.�

�I don�t know�� Harry replied, shrugging, �If she did, she never said anything or tried to stop it.�

Draco sighed. �That�s almost worse, when you think about it.�

�At least they�ve realized their mistakes, now, and are trying to make amends,� Harry said, �With them testifying against Vernon at the trial, there�s no way they�ll send me to jail.�

Draco nodded, though inside he was fuming with rage. How could Harry forgive them so easily?! Why didn�t he want revenge? It occurred to Draco, then, that Harry was probably the most innocent, kind-hearted person he�d ever met- that he ever would meet.

Neither of them were aware of the figure following them silently and invisibly, collecting every piece of information she heard.

Harry sighed suddenly. �I really wish you�d give your dad a chance, Draco. I think he�s really changed.�

�You don�t know him like I do,� Draco replied stonily, �He has raped and murdered countless innocent people, Harry. In our home! I heard it happen� all of it. Every time. You don�t know how sick and cruel he really is. He�d torture them for hours- sometimes days- and all he�d ever say about it was that he�d done what needed to be done��

Harry pulled Draco into a tight embrace, kissing his neck tenderly. �I�m sorry. You shouldn�t have had to witness those things� but- I�m still going to give him a chance. I won�t ask you to, but� I have to hope for the best.�

Draco smiled, finding it ironic that Harry was the one comforting him. �I�m fine. I got over it a while ago,� he said, when Harry let him go, �You don�t have to worry about me. What you need to worry about is- what you�ll do if you are convicted.�

�Run away,� Harry replied, �I�ll apparate away from the courtroom to Grimmauld Place, continue searching for- Voldemort, under the disguise of a glamour. Once he�s gone, I�ll give myself up to the police and face the consequences of my actions.�

Draco winced at the hollow tone of his voice. �What about me? What about the Weasleys and Hermione and all of the people who care about you?�

Harry stopped walking and turned to him. �They allow visitors. And I�ll probably get out early for good behavior� but as for you� I don�t know. Hopefully I won�t be convicted, but if I am, I would fully expect you to move on. I wouldn�t ask for you to wait for me, if that�s what you�re wondering.�

�That�s the problem, Harry. I think I would wait,� Draco said.

�Why? I�m not the end, Draco. There are plenty of others out there would love to be with you,� Harry said, his brow furrowing in confusion.

�But none of them would be you. None of them would even compare to you,� Draco stated.

�How can you say that? We�ve been together for three days. And until August we hated each other,� Harry replied, �How can you feel that- strongly already?�

�I don�t really know. But there�s a thin line between love and hate,� Draco said, �All I know is that I feel- a connection with you. I think I always have. I just reacted differently to it before. And I don�t want to lose that connection. Or you.�

Harry smiled, taking Draco�s hand in his and continuing to walk. �Then let�s hope that Severus is a very good lawyer and that nothing happens to my aunt or my cousin.�

�Harry!� Hermione called, running up to them, �I�ve been looking for you everywhere!�

�Why?� he asked.

�There�s been an attack,� she panted, trying to catch her breath, �On Grimmauld Place.�

Before another word could be spoken, Harry took off for the castle. Draco and Hermione followed at a slightly slower pace.

�Was anybody injured? Or- killed?� Draco asked.

�No. Thankfully, everybody was already there and Moody, Shacklebolt, Remus, Tonks, and Bill were able to subdue and capture most of those who attacked. However, a few did manage to get away,� she replied, �There were a few burns and bruises, but Madame Pomfrey fixed them up fine.�

Draco sighed in relief. �Thank Merlin!�

Harry yelled frantically at the gargoyle to let him in, but the stupid thing wouldn�t budge!

�Is there a problem, Mr. Potter?� Severus asked when he came upon the boy.

�Yes! The dumb thing won�t move and I need to get in!� Harry exclaimed, on the verge of tears.

Severus saw this and gave the password just and Hermione and Draco came around the corner. Harry ran up the stairs and into the office, stopping when he saw Remus talking to McGonagal. He practically lunged at the man, hugging him tightly, unable to hold the tears at bay.

�Hermione� said there was an attack,� he gasped, �I thought- I was sure that you were� thank God!�

Remus smiled, returning the embrace. �Everybody is fine, Harry. We captured most of them and Moody and Shacklebolt are handling the Ministry as we speak.�

Harry nodded, but refused to let Remus go. He was still shaken by the fact that he could have lost the closest thing he had to family� his last link to his parents. Remus, the Weasleys, Hermione, Hagrid� they were all he had left, and he didn�t think he could bear losing any of them.

Draco and Hermione smiled at the pair. �Harry really loves him, doesn�t he?�

Hermione nodded. �Remus is like- a father, or a very close uncle to Harry. He�s the only connection Harry has left to his parents.�

Harry finally drew away from Remus and addressed McGonagal. �How did this happen? I thought HQ was under the Fidelius Charm?�

�It was. But, as Albus was the Secret Keeper, the charm died with him. We were confident that it would remain safe, though, because nobody knew of it besides those who had been there,� McGonagal said, �However, it would seem that we have a spy among us.�

�Who do you think it is?� Harry asked.

�I�ll tell you who it is!� Moody growled, having just come through the fireplace, �It�s that Malfoy brat!�

�Me? Why would I-!?�

�It couldn�t have been Draco,� Harry said, interrupting him, �I�ve barely left his side since he came to stay at The Leaky Cauldron this summer.�

�Besides, Voldemort wants him dead, remember?� Hermione added.

�Alastor,� Remus said, �Have you forgotten that they referred to their source as �she�? The spy is a girl.�

�So, who�s been to HQ who is a girl?� Draco asked.

�Tonks, Mrs. Weasley, Professor McGonagal, Fleur, Hermione, Ginny�� Harry listed.

�All just as unlikely as the next,� Shacklebolt said, sighing.

�Wait! Bellatrix Lestrange!� Harry exclaimed, �She was Sirius� cousin! She would probably know about the house��

He felt his hatred for the woman rise to an unimaginable level. She killed Sirius, and now she was putting the rest of his family in danger! �That bitch will pay� I swear that I�ll kill her��

�That is- highly probable,� McGonagal said, �However, just in case, we�ll keep our eyes open for any suspicious behavior. I would advise you all to do the same. You should be more aware of your surroundings and keep incriminating conversations to private, warded areas.�

They nodded.

�Harry� don�t you have Quidditch practice?� Draco said, noticing that the clock said it was ten minutes after four.

Harry looked at the time. �Bloody-! I have to go. See you all later!�

Quidditch practice ran late, and by the time Harry left the locker room, it was nearly time for dinner. Draco was waiting for him by the doors to the castle. Harry smiled at him.

�Walk me to dinner?� he said.

Draco grinned. �Why else would I be waiting here like an idiot?�

Harry laughed. �Man, I�m starving! I hope they�ve got those little chickens��

Draco shook his head. �I really think that Weasley�s rubbed off on you.�

Dinner went by quickly, and by the end of it, Harry couldn�t even look at food. He walked up to Draco�s room and, after whispering the password, walked in. Draco had just gotten out of the shower and was pulling on his sleep pants when Harry came in. He looked up and smiled when he saw him.

�Are you sure you wouldn�t rather sleep in you dorm?� Draco asked.

�I�m sure. In fact, I�ll probably have Dobby bring my things here, eventually,� Harry replied, �Since you�re so intent on keeping me��

�You�re damn right. You�re mine now, Potter,� Draco said, chuckling.

�Two years ago, I probably would have punched you in the face for that,� Harry said, crossing the room to the blonde, �But now I just want to kiss you��

�What�s stopping you?� Draco breathed, just before Harry wrapped his arms around his neck and kissed him sweetly.

Draco smiled against his lips, pulling Harry closer and taking control of the kiss quickly. When they parted, they smiled, both content to just hold the other and be held.

�I�m really scared, Draco,� Harry whispered, leaning his head on his shoulder.

Draco loosened his grip. �Don�t worry. I won�t do anything��

�No! That�s not it,� Harry replied, �I�m scared because- I feel a connection to you, too. I�m scared because being with you- like that- doesn�t really scare me all that much. You�re different, somehow. The thought of anybody else- touching me is� terrifying, but- not you. And, most of all, I�m scared because- if I lost you, I don�t think I could go on. The fact that my feelings for you are that deep and strong� in so little time��

Draco smiled, pulling Harry toward the bed and sitting down with him in his lap. �You don�t have to worry about losing me. I�m not going anywhere.�

�But- Voldemort knows we�re together. He�ll target you even more now,� Harry said.

�It�ll be fine. I can take care of myself. Besides, we�re at Hogwarts. There are plenty of people here who would fight him,� Draco said, �And as for your feelings for me� I�m glad that you feel that way. The fear of others will dissipate with time, but I�m really happy that you�re not afraid of me. You can trust me, Harry. I won�t push you for anything. We can take it slow until you�re ready.�

Harry smiled, curling himself around Draco and burying his face in the other boy�s neck. �I really lucked out with you, didn�t I?�

Draco laughed. �Yeah, you pretty much did.�

Harry sighed contentedly. �I don�t want to go back to classes tomorrow. This weekend has been far too nice.�

�Don�t you miss your friends?� Draco asked.

�I just saw them yesterday,� Harry replied, �And I�ll see them every Saturday, won�t I? And I can�t seem to escape Ron and Hermione.�

Draco grinned. �Yes� rather annoying, that.�

�See? It�s not as though I never see them. I just don�t see them as much as I would if I were staying in the dorm,� Harry said, �Which isn�t that much more, actually. I was usually off with Ron and Hermione anyway.�

�I suppose that�s true. Still� we do have to go to classes,� Draco said, �I don�t want to go back any more than you do.�

�Whatever. I can�t wait for Christmas break,� Harry said.

�We�ve still got three months before that,� Draco stated.

Harry groaned. �You�re such a buzz-kill, Draco!�

�Just being realistic,� Draco said, �But there�s only five days until the next weekend. And it�s a Hogsmeade weekend.�

Harry smiled. �Thank Merlin.�

They sat in a comfortable silence for a few moments before Draco shifted them into a laying position. �Do you want to go with me?�

�Hmm?� Harry said, cuddling up to Draco.

�Do you want to go with me to Hogsmeade?� Draco asked again, a little hesitantly.

�That would be nice,� Harry said, looking up at Draco and smiling brightly, �Kind of like a first date.�

Draco grinned. �Exactly like a first date.�

�What is this about a date?� Hermione asked, coming in through the bathroom.

�Hello, Hermione. Why, yes, you may enter my room. Thank you so much for knocking,� Draco said pointedly.

Ron smirked, entering after his girlfriend. �You expect her to knock? She never even knocked when she was coming into the boys� dorm up in Gryffindor Tower. Just walks in like she owns the place, no matter if anybody�s naked or anything.�

Harry grinned. �Remember the first time she walked in when Neville was changing?�

Ron burst into laughter at the memory. �Oh God! He was so embarrassed! I didn�t think it was humanly possible for anybody to turn that completely red! Absolutely hilarious!�

Hermione cleared her throat rather loudly. �If you�re finished? Thank you. Now, what about a date?�

�We�re going to Hogsmeade together,� Harry replied.

�I see. I don�t suppose you�d be willing to make time for a butterbeer with some friends?� she said.

�We might be able to squeeze you in,� Draco drawled dramatically.

She smiled. �Good. You�re not going to bed already, are you?�

�No, we were just lying down and talking,� Harry said, �Why?�

�Oh! Well, I just thought maybe you two would like to go down by the lake,� she said, �It�s a rather beautiful night, and it�s a full moon� maybe you�d like to show Draco the Whomping Willow, Harry.�

�Why would I want to� oh,� he grinned slyly, �Yes. Let�s go see the Whomping Willow.�

�Why? It�s just a moody old tree,� Draco said.

Harry pulled him off of the bed, dragging him out of the room. �Just come on. I want to show you something!�

Draco waved goodbye to Hermione and Ron before following Harry out of the castle, whining the entire way to the tree. Harry found a long stick and prodded the appropriate knot on the tree, making it freeze. Draco raised an eyebrow in surprise, but Harry just smiled and led him down into the secret passageway.

�It�s filthy in here! How do you even know about this?� Draco whined, �Where are we going? It had better be cleaner than this� ugh! I think I may have just stepped on a rat!�

�Quit being such a girl!� Harry teased, knowing how Draco hated being called feminine, �Hermione didn�t even whine that much when she was down here.�

This effectively shut Draco up, but he still muttered about rats and filth under his breath.

Finally, they reached the decrepit building and Harry pushed him into the room. �This, Draco, is the Shrieking Shack.�

He turned to look at the Gryffindor, shocked. �Seriously? We�re in the Shrieking Shack? Bloody hell! Isn�t this place supposed to be haunted?�

Harry smiled sadly. �No� it�s not haunted�� He relayed the tale of the marauders and how Remus would come here for his monthly transformations, and how James, Sirius, and Peter Pettigrew became animagi to keep him company.

�Wow. Just� wow,� Draco said, �You know, we could fix this place up a bit. Make it a bit more habitable. It would make a decent hang out with a good- a really good cleaning and some restorative charms.�

Harry grinned. �Do what you want. It�s not like- they need it anymore��

Draco kissed his forehead gently. �Thank you for telling me that. I know it�s probably hard for you to talk about your father and Sirius.�

�Yeah. It gets easier, though,� Harry said, �So, what are you planning? Because I know you already have a thousand ideas running through your mind.�

He smiled as Draco rattled on about cleaning and decorating and all of the things that could be done with the house. The blonde looked like- well, like a small child at Christmas, for lack of a better analogy.

�Draco,� Harry said, interrupting his planning, �It�s nearly curfew. We should get back.�

Draco conceded to this and they left for the castle, with Draco casting cleaning charms on the tunnel the entire way. Harry chuckled at his obsessive compulsive behavior, but held his tongue.

They went to bed early that night, wanting to be completely rested for classes the next day. They figured that they would need all of the energy they could get to deal with their peers. Not to mention, whatever else would be thrown at them�

~XVI~

Chapter sixteen is done! Within the next couple chapters, a bit more time is going to pass. I don�t know whether to skip to Halloween, or Christmas� most likely Halloween. Lol. Don�t want to get the trial out of the way too fast. Where would the fun be in that?
