Pairing: DracoxHarry, implied RonxHermione,
Fandom : HP
Notes: Compatible up to the bathroom scene between Draco and Harry in Half-blood Prince- minus the Ginny interest. After that is completely AU…
Warning: drarry gets rather aggressive so be warned. I lost Harry's first time. sorry. It happened between chapter two and chapter three.
Chapter 15
Draco was checking the last of Harry's new clothes when he heard banging and loud voices in the hall outside their rooms. He got up to peek outside and nearly facepalmed as he stepped out into the hallway. "Goyle, what the hell are you doing?"
Surprised, his group of friends turn around.
"We-were looking for you." Goyle declared, then went silent as if he didn't know what else to say.
"Draco!" Pansy called out excitedly, hurrying to hug him before looking him over for injuries, "Has that dirty rotten half-blood hurt you? When I find out who cursed you, they'll wish they hadn't been born. Who would dare curse my future husband?"
Blaise wouldn't admit to being worried but he had seen what happened when Potter cursed his friend. "Glad to see you haven't killed each other yet. Is he dreadful to live with? Muggles raised him so he must have terrible manners. Is he slovenly?"
Draco was more then a little shocked when he was hugged and promptly placed space between him and his ex-girlfriend. "Pansy, I'm fine, get a hold of yourself." He fixed his shirt, looked over to Blaise and tried to think up something. "Its do able. He's...I'm managing." He finished.
Crabbe looked confused, "Is there anything you want us to do for you?"
Draco shook his head. "I'm fine really guys..."
Pansy pouted, "I'm allowed to worry about you." she really cared about him, as much as pureblood woman was supposed to care for her future husband.
Blaise crossed his arms, "You could at least acknowledge how much worry you've caused them. Crabbe and Goyle have been absolutely lost without you. I swear they don't have a brain between them."
Draco nodded with a small smile, "I appreciate the concern guys, really."
Crabbe looked over him, as if checking for...anything really.
Goyle stared at the door. "So...is he in there?"
Draco nodded. "We were just taking a break from Potions homework..."
"You're still tutoring him? Isn't he completely hopeless? The only ones worse at potions are Weasley and Longbottom." Blaise sneered a bit.
"Is there anyway to break this curse? He tried to kill you, are you worried he'll try again Draco?" Pansy asked worried.
"He's getting better," Draco snapped, and then quickly covered, "I'm his tutor, he has no choice but to get better marks. Don't worry. He won't try it. We have...worked out a compromise. We're fine."
"If you say so." Pansy said not looking convinced,
Blaise noticed Draco's reaction to his slur on Potter; something wasn't right about that...
"Trust me," Draco smirked, "everything is under control." Draco shook his head; He'd have to remind them who he was.
"Can't we talk about this inside?" Goyle asked.
"Under control Draco?" Blaise smirked back, "Is he your little slave now?" that would be an interesting development…
Pansy wasn't sure she liked that...
"Yes. Since we have no choice and have to be together most of the time. I will not let this get to me." he turned to Blaise. "Slave? Ha. This is Harry Potter. It's all in the mind with him, easy as reading a book. I have this completely under control."
Blaise wasn't so sure he completely believed Draco. After all the Prince of Slytherin had been acting strange since Potter attacked him...
Pansy pouted, "Now we can't even spend much time with you? It's not fair Draco. We miss you..."
Draco had to admit he'd missed his friends as well, but he had other things on his mind. "The curse doesn't last forever..."
"Can't it be broken soon? Professor Snape said he was working on it." Pansy asked.
Blaise smirked, "With you out of the Dungeons that makes me the most influential Slytherin."
Draco shrugged, "Don't worry so much, the Professor will have something figured out in no time..." He chuckled at Blaisé's statement, "don't get too use to it either."
Blaise snorted, "Used to it? I'm just going to enjoy it while it lasts."
Pansy pouted, "I wish you could come spend the night in the dungeons with us. Does the curse really make it impossible to be apart more then an hour? Does it hurt you?"
Draco leaned against the door, a laugh in his voice, "I guess that's allowed. He gave Pansy a friendly smile. "No it's painless to be honest. I just...can't fight the urge. Without thinking I seek him out," he admits, with a lazy shake of the head. "Whoever created this thing is a gifted wizard or witch; you know once the shock of it passes..."
Pansy blinked, he couldn't actually like Potter now. Could he? Potter did try to kill him before. Had he actually forgotten?
Blaise was almost convinced that Malfoy actually liked Harry. "I hope you're too busy to actually come. I like having the dungeon to myself." he was afraid that Draco wouldn't be able to stay away long and would damage his reputation.
He hoped Harry was sleeping and not listening to what he was about to say and glad the door was not see through. He brushed a stray hair behind Pansy's ear and let his hand linger on her cheek.
Crabbe looked away, while Goyle stared on.
"Maybe I can find out how to use this curse later on...but it wouldn't really be a curse at all," he whispered softly to her.
"Maybe a small visit can be arranged, who knows?" he said leaning back against the door to his room. "Its getting late guys, you better get back before someone comes looking..."
Blaise thought Draco's behavior towards Pansy seemed forced. Not that he'd admit it but he was starting to worry.
Pansy blushed, "You're welcome in the dungeons Draco. You know that, you are our Prince after all."
"I know-" a door was heard but no one came down the hallway. Crabbe turned his head around, "Maybe we should get back..."
Pansy said quietly in his ear, "I know we aren't officially a couple anymore but you're still welcome in my bed." she kissed him quickly, "After all I am the future Lady Malfoy." waving she strode off.
Blaise shook his head, Draco may have been egging her on but he didn't think that Pansy should have kissed him. He shrugged, "I'm off."
"Alright then," Draco said bidding then goodbye, but not before whispering to Crabbe and Goyle, "since things are like this, its best to stay away from that room, it may not be safe. "
The two nodded and went off with the others.
Once they were gone Draco gave a sigh of relief, then went inside the room.
Harry woke as the door opened, "Dray?" he hadn't even realized Draco had left. "What time is it?"
"A little after five," he answers, sitting on the bed, "how are you feeling?"
Harry smiled sitting up some, "Hungry?" Iris made him hungry often, which was good because he was so underweight. He smelled a perfume and gagged, summoned an anti-nausea potion. He waited until he didn't feel sick, "Did we have company?" he thought the scent smelled familiar.
"You could say that...rather I did, the guys where getting worried and decided to find me."
Harry said quietly, "At least your friends came by." Ron and Hermione still hadn't, he blinked, "Oh so Pansy came by." He felt uneasy, "I hate to be rude but it seems i can't handle the smell of her perfume." why did he smell like Pansy?
"She wasn't even that close," Draco frowned at his clothes, "I should change then." He did just that. "Don't worry so much, I'm sure Hermione will get Weasley straightened out..." It felt weird calling Hermione by her name.
Harry stared at the bed sheets, "Remember? Those pregnancy books you bought said that our senses get more sensitive." he said quietly, "I really hope that Ron forgives me. It hurts so much when he breaks off our friendship. Hermione was standing by me last time but now that she's dating Ron I'm afraid she'll choose him."
When Draco was done he walked over and kissed Henry on his forehead, "You're worrying too much, let him get over the shock. It will be fine...Now, let's get you two some food.
Harry closed his eyes to enjoy the attention. He felt a movement and his eyes flew open, he grabbed Draco's hand. Putting it on his stomach, "Don't move. Wait."
"What is," Draco started to say but almost gasp, "Wha-she-but-was that a kick?"
Harry grinned, "She moved. It's so different to know she's living inside me as opposed to feeling her move." he was so excited...
Draco smiled back, "Before we know it she's going to be here. In our arms...this is so amazing..."
Harry kissed him deeply, "Yes. I can't wait."
After some cuddling they discovered that it was dinnertime and they were hungry…
Deciding to chance it they made their way to the Great Hall for supper.
Draco let his eyes roam around on their way to dinner. He couldn't help just smiling at Harry. He'd just felt their daughter. He could scream it to the world, but knew now was not the time.
Members of his house, people he considered friends, surrounded Harry. He was dragged away before he could say a proper good bye to Draco.
Draco watched as Harry was taken away from him. He walked over to his table, hiding his smile the best he could, "Surprised to see me?"
Pansy almost squealed with joy.
Crabbe and Goyle were outright smiling in their usual stupid way at him.
XoooooX
Harry was led over to the Gryffindor table; where there were whoops of joy.
Hermione leaned over to ask him a question after shoving Ron over to make room, "Harry, so good to see you. How are you doing?"
Ron made nasty comments to himself under his breath.
For which Hermione stomped on his foot.
Ron hissed and glared at them both.
Harry was hurt but did his best not act like it.
"Harry! Oh Harry! We missed you!"
Harry did his best to hide a wince, Ginny. The very last person he wanted to see right now.
Ginny moved as if to hug him.
Hermione held her off, "He hasn't been well with the curse and all, give him some room Ginny."
"Curse? That slimy git." Ron grumbled.
Harry nearly dropped the pitcher of pumpkin juice.
Hermione steadied his grip on the pitcher, her face didn't betray the kick she gave Ron, "Careful now. How have you been? You haven't been to classes. How are you keeping up?"
Harry gave her a weak smile, "Extra reading. Lots of essays and occasionally Dray...I mean Malfoy's notes when I find them out. Not that he can always go to classes. The um curse you know."
Ginny pouted, "Who would curse you to be inseparable from that snake? We miss you. Hurry up and come back to the Tower."
Hermione waved her hand, "Forget the curse for a minute. How are you? Feeling better?"
Harry nodded, "Yes, I got so sick because I wasn't close to him. I couldn't keep anything down, I never eat as good during the summers at the Dursleys as I do here or at the Burrow." He was being nearly honest…
Colin came up and shyly asked how he was before disappearing back to Seamus and his brother Dennis.
Harry did his best not to look at or for Draco; he felt Iris kick and his hand drifted to his stomach.
Ron started to say terrible things about Draco, how he was just taking advantage of him. How a snake like him couldn't be trusted. That nothing good ever came out of Slytherin...
Harry's wand was in his hand and he was about to curse Ron when he heard Hermione speak softly and push his hand down.
"Harry, you know he really doesn't mean it. He's your best friend."
Only Hermione could say that or touch him right now to make him stop. "But he said…"
Ginny could only look on in shock and horror.
"He doesn't understand because he doesn't want to. Remember? His family and Draco's have been in that feud? He has a hard time believing anything good about him. Remember the Battle of the Department of Mysteries? Who was there? Can you blame him?"
Put it that way and his anger almost melted. He was still mad at Ron but he didn't want to curse him black and blue. He almost pitied him, which was probably worse.
"Harry?" Ginny asked, "Are you alright?" Had a Slytherin cast this awful curse?
XoooooX
Draco was glad he chose to sit in between Crabbe and Goyle, that way Pansy's smell won't bother Harry and the baby. His smile slipped out.
"Happy to join us, Draco," Blaise asked with a smirk.
"You could say that," Draco answered back.
Draco kept his hands busy, not giving Pansy a chance to garb hold of it. He felt eyes on him and looked up to see Snape watching him closely.
"Crabbe move, I want to talk to Draco," Pansy insisted.
But Draco shook his head, "We can talk later if you want, before I have to go back with H-Potter."
"Fine," she pouted.
Blaise merely glanced up at his friend; the feeling from their last meeting earlier that day coming back full force.
Crabbe looked up from his food, "Hey, do your parents know about the curse? They're smart like the professor too. They could help him?"
Draco paused to find a suitable answer. "They don't know. Even if they did, they would ask the Professor."
Draco had just put down his cup; when he felt the strong need to turn around. His actions didn't go unnoticed.
"Are you okay"" Crabbe asked, worry in his eyes.
"I'm fine I just…" he burped, "Pardon me, I was waiting on that."
The other boys all laughed but Pansy looked a bit disgusted. Draco couldn't fight the urge any longer and turned to find Harry at the Gryffindor table.
"He's fine," Blaise said as if he was talking about Draco, instead of to him, "the servings have been a little strong this month."
Draco turned to face the others, but tried to play it off.
Blaise was not fooled.
The feeling came back to Draco and he just could not take it a moment longer. He glanced at his watch and cursed. "That's my time guys, something slipped my mind." He stood up and turned to Pansy, "Don't worry, " he gave a half smile, "we will talk, soon."
That seemed to please the pouting Slytherin.
Draco made it in time to hear the Weasley chit ask Harry if he was okay. "I don't think he is, seeing that it's around the time for his potion."
Harry turned at the sound of Draco's voice; warmth and pleasure flowed through him pushing aside the pity and the anger. "Draco!" he grinned with pleasure, then caught himself, "Yes, potion." he blushed, "Away from each other too long and we're both quite ill, if not weak..."
Draco blinked. "You are the first person I know who smiles about taking potions," he shook his head, being careful not to let his eyes fall on the surrounding students.
Harry left the table, barely having been able to eat much because of Ron and Ginny. He didn't care, because he was going with Draco. "Bye everyone." it took all of his will power not to reach for Draco's hand or to move so the slightly older teen could wrap an arm around him. "So what if I'm okay with taking potion? Even if it tastes bad it has a purpose. A good one." ignoring them all he had eyes only for the father of his child and the man who owned his heart.
"Yeah, well..." was the only answer Malfoy could give. It was only when they made it to their hallway did the blond wrap his arm around Harry's waist. "I'm glad I had an excuse to get you out of there...you kept calling me out to me..."
Harry shifted nervously, "I didn't mean to. Our first time out of our rooms and I can't even let you spend much time around your friends." he leaned into Draco's embrace, leaving out that he'd been upset because of Ron.
