*~*~*~*~*~*~Enjoy*~*~*~*~*~*~

Several hours had past since Harry had agreed to marry Draco. Still one thought kept coming up in his mind like a record player that was stuck in his mind. "Consummating the marriage oh boy..."

FLASHBACK:

"You have to consummate the marriage Harry. I thought that was implied." Dumbledore said as Harry looked at Draco then at Dumbledore.

"So I have to have sex with Draco?" Harry asked as Dumbledore nodded leaving Harry to sit on the arm of the chair Sirius was sitting in. "But I'm not gay!" Harry said as Dumbledore sighed rubbing his beard.

"I don't believe a night of sex will prove you're gay Harry, but if you have such fears get to know Draco before you start planning of going to flamboyant clubs." Dumbledore chuckling as Harry glared, not enjoying the joke.

"What happens tonight at least." Harry asked as Lucius stood up.

"Draco will be staying here. Your friends are staying as well. Sirius and Remus will watch over you two," Lucius said as he walked to Dumbledore. "I shall check in with Draco as much as I can to make sure his mother hasn't contacted him." Lucius continued as he gently petted his son's head.

"And if she does contact him?" Harry asked as Lucius looked at him.

"Have Draco contact me right away. She is a devious woman. She will do anything to get what she wants. Right now she wants to take my place at Voldemort's side," Lucius said his voice serious. Harry sighed heavily as he felt a familiar knot appear in his stomach. He had gotten that same knot everytime he went up against Voldemort. If Narcissa Malfoy was as cunning as Lucius seemed to think she was, then she was going to be a real challange to deal with. He had never met the woman face to face, but just by the one sighting of her, also to the fact she was Bellatrix's sister, had him leery that she was a formitable foe.

"Well off to bed with all of you it's still late at night." Dumbledore said as everyone seemed to skatter.

END OF FLASH BACK

Harry sat on his bed in the room he shared with Ron with his head in his hands. Nothing Voldemort could do could compair to the thought that he would have to have sex with another man. Ron had come in a few minutes after he had come in. He had started on a rather loud rant.

"I cant fucking believe that your mother would agree to put you in this stupid marriage. I mean Malfoy is nothing but a spoiled brat who is finally getting the one thing he has never had," Ron said as Harry looked up at him.

"And what might it be he can't have?" Harry asked as Ron looked at him.

"You. I mean he has always tried to one up you on everything he does. I mean you got into Quidditch and what happens the next year? He is in Quidditch in the same position you were in! Everything you have done that bloody bastard has tried to do better than you." Ron said loudly as Harry turned away. Hearing why Draco had acted the way he did sounded more plausible than Ron's rant about his spoiled future husband.

'Husband... wow that sounds so weird.' Harry thought to himself as Ron continued to rant, not that he was really listening. Having Ron as a best friend sometimes forced Harry to hear him go on and on about something that was stupid.

"Look Ron Im really tired. I just want to sleep." Harry said as he laid back on his bed turning his back to his best friend.

"Oh... alright mate. Night then," Ron said as he too crawled into bed. Harry laid there in the dark listening to Ron's breathing even out. The thought that this would be the last summer he would have of freedom was bitter-sweet. He had never really been free and he didn't know when he was free. Wait, what if Draco didn't allow him to have his own life? Since when did that blonde control whether or not he had a life!? Draco seemed more of the one to ask for a life. Then another thought occurred to him. Who would be the receiver during the consummating? He knew that he would NOT even consider being bottom because of the fact that he didn't want be penetrated. Although Malfoy may use the fact that he is older than Harry as a way to be the top. Harry had never met any gay couples or even gay people so he didn't know what termed a person as "bottom". He would just have to broach the subject to Draco and see what he says. As he felt the claws of sleep begin to drag him into the darkness that was, as Harry hoped, would be dreamless. Slowly he surrendered himself to sleep.

DREAM

Slowly images flowed around Harry. Suspended in the air being surrounded by the memories of his childhood along with his school life. Suddenly one by one the memories began to disappear. Harry tried to reach for them only to be held back as every last memory was destroyed.

"No!" Harry yelled as evil laughter soon followed. The laughter was familiar as the voice spoke.

"Don't like the feeling of losing one's memories? Since memories can't be replaced, Little Harry Potter." A slue of smoke flowed around Harry causing him to start coughing.

"Voldemort... get out of my dreams!" Harry yelled as he continued to cough.

"Oh but it's so much fun seeing you in such pain. Even dreamless sleep potions doesn't work on you anymore," the voice cackled as the image of someone hanging appeared in front of him. "Now who should I go after first? Hmm... how about someone who is now connected to you forever?" Just as the words were spoken, an image of Draco hanging by his wrists appeared in front of him. The feeling of fear gripped his heart as Draco was not moving.

"Leave him alone!" Harry yelled as the smoke began cover Draco slowly waking him. His eyes were blank as he looked at Harry with a doll like blank stare. Harry felt the familiar panic enter as Voldemort's ice white claws appeared holding Draco's chin the other resting on his waist. The snake face appeared to the right of Draco's body, that same smirk sliding over the taunting face of the murderer.

"Lovely thing isn't he? Just like his father. Although the Malfoy's are powerful, they are nothing but kindling for the fire of my world. I could just as easily..." Voldemort jerked Draco's head to one side his eyes widen for a moment then he went completely limp. Harry had heard the loud pop of Draco's neck being snapped. Harry grit his teeth as he shouted.

"Why do you have to go after people who have never hurt anyone?! Why?!" The dark chuckle flowed as Voldemort moved away from Draco's lifeless body in a swirl of black smoke.

"Why? You ask me why I do what I do?" Voldemort taunted as he laughed darkly. Suddenly Voldemort's face was inches from Harry's. "Because I know that soon you will be so pitiful from the lost lives that you will bow to me to spare your life... and when that time comes... i will say..." Voldemort whispered as his smirk turn ugly. "No." he said as the world seem to come up from under Harry the sound of Voldemort's eternal laughter following his fall. Suddenly the feeling of shaking hit him as the fall was interrupted by someone calling his name.

END OF DREAM

Harry sprung up in his bed panting to see Draco holding his shoulders tightly.

"Harry are you alright? You were screaming my name." Draco said as everyone stood around the bed. Harry slowly breathed deeply as his eyes moved to Draco. Flashes of Draco's blank stare and snapped neck appeared in his head as he began to feel his body shake from the terror.

"Was it.... him?" Ron asked as Harry slowly nodded. Draco looked at Harry's face as he remembered he could hear the terror in Harry's voice when he was screaming.

"Did he hurt me in your dream?" Draco asked as Harry looked up fast. No one other than Dumbledore had asked him specifically what he dreamt. Harry gulped thickly as he nodded feeling the panic fill him again.

"He... he snapped your neck..." Harry spoke, his voice hoarse from the screaming he had done. Draco's eyes widened, his hand resting on his own throat. The general look was of fright as Harry continued to shake. Remus moved over handing Harry a piece of chocolate. Sirius shook his head at the old gesture as Harry nibbled on the chocolate.

"Draco, you stay here with Harry till he calms down. We are going to go back to bed," Sirius said as he gently patted Harry's head. Everyone but Ron moved out of the room as he glared at the blonde.

"You see, you being here has caused a big problem already Malfoy." Draco ignored him as he took Harry's hand into his own.

"Is this alright Harry?" Draco asked holding up his hands. Harry looked at their clasped hands and nodded slowly.

"Yeah, it's fine." Harry whispered as he slowly laid back down. Draco continued to hold his hand rubbing the back of it. Ron crawled into bed and quickly went back to sleep as Draco just watched Harry. Silence was deafening between them as Harry just let Draco rub his hand. It actually helped calm him down.

"Are you alright now Phoenix?" Draco asked as Harry nodded but stopped and looked at him.

"Phoenix? Why did you call me Phoenix?" Harry asked as Draco blushed brightly.

"Um, well it's kinda a nickname I think of when I think of you. I could change it if you like?" Draco said quickly as the look of panic was written all over his face. Was Draco afraid that he had done something wrong?

"No no, it's okay I just... never had anyone call me by a nickname that didn't have something to do with the Boy-Who-Lived or the Chosen One." Harry said as Draco relaxed smiling. "What do I call you then?" Harry asked as Draco blushed red.

"Um, well my name, Draco, means Dragon in Latin." Draco said as Harry smiled.

"Hmm, Dragon does seem to suit you as far as your name goes, but I kinda want a name more prone to your nature... hmm, how about Bunny?" Harry suggested as Draco's face turned as red as Ron's hair as his eyes were wide as galleons.

"You... you want to call me Bunny?" Draco asked as he sounded like a nervous bunny. Harry chuckled as he looked at Draco.

"Yes I think it suits you better than Dragon. So you are now Bunny." Harry said as the blush continued to stain Draco's cheeks.

"Well, you probably want to go back to sleep." Draco said as Harry shook his head.

"I don't like going back to sleep after a nightmare Bunny. Maybe we could try that bonding thing," Harry said as he wanted to get to know the man who he was going to spend the rest of his life with. Draco slowly smiled as he squeezed Harry's hand.

"If you want we can go over a list of things for the wedding. I have it in my room," Draco said as Harry sat up nodding. Draco stood as he still held Harry's hand as they walked down the hall to Draco's room. Draco walked over to a small box by his night-stand. He set the box on the bed as he sat down. "Come sit down." Draco said as Harry slowly sat down on the bed with the blonde. "See Phoenix, I made a list of things that I could think of that we would need. My father is going to pay for everything so there is no set budget." Draco said as he pulled out a well written list of things to do. Harry was slightly a taken back by the size of the list. He never knew that so many things had to happen for a wedding to happen. Suddenly his earlier thoughts came back to his head.

"Um, Bunny? Can I ask you something about the whole consummation issue?" Harry asked as Draco looked up at him in surprise.

"Um sure. What is it?" Draco asked as Harry bit his lip.

"Um who is going... to um... you know... be..." Harry tried but failed to gather the words as they seemed to fail him. Draco giggled slightly.

"Are you trying to ask who would be receiving?" Draco asked as Harry blushed brightly nodding. "Oh Phoenix... I thought that was kinda obvious... you wanted to call me Bunny for the same reason that I would be bottom." Draco said as Harry looked at him in surprise.

"Wait, you're older don't you want to be on top?" Harry asked as Draco shook his head.

"I dont think i could handle being on top. As to me being older, that doesn't really make it a sure thing of being on top. Now if I was much older than you then it might be a factor but since im only a month or so older it doesn't matter." Draco said as he looked at the stuff in the box.

"So your alright if I'm the man of the act?" Harry said as Draco looked at him oddly.

"Um Harry have you ever had sex at all?" Draco asked as Harry's eyes widened and his cheeks colored brightly. Draco covered his mouth in astonishment. "Harry are you a virgin?" Draco asked as Harry looked away the blush never leaving his cheeks.

"Well yeah. I never had time to really get any girl to that point." Harry said as Draco looked at him in surprise. To think the boy he had held a secret candle for was still unclaimed. What luck! He had hoped that he had only been with Ginny Weasley but it seemed he never let anyone get that close.

"Well you do know how to do it right? Like how it's done?" Draco asked as Harry rubbed the back of his head.

"Kinda. Ron told me that he liked having a girl on her hands and knees while he goes into her but how would it be with a guy?" Harry asked as Draco blushed.

"Well um, I could try to help you understand what happens," the blonde said as Harry looked at him with slight hesitation.

"How would you do that?" Harry asked as Draco bit his lip.

"Sorta demonstrate what would happen." Draco's words had the entirely different reaction from Harry that he wanted instead of saying flat out "No", Draco was thrown off kilter when the words out of Harry's mouth rang.

"Alright."
