Disclaimer-I don't own Harry Potter if I did you would wish I didn't
Wow it seem's like forever since I've posted a story, but I've decided to try my hand at a Harry/Draco story so here it goes. Oh and to those wondering I tried to write more of Naruto's Journal, but failed to come up with a good plot line so that will remain a one-shot.
Oh yeah one last thing, this is set in sixth year, Sirius is alive, Remus is D.A.D.A teacher and Snape is potions teacher.
Harry wondered silently though the halls of Hogwarts castle, breathing as quite as he could under the invisibility cloak.
The last thing he really needed was to get caught out of bed after hours. Luck however never stayed with Harry as he turned a corner he spotted Snape walking toward him.
He cursed under his breath and quickly flattened himself against the wall; he kept his breathing as even as he could as Snape grew closer.
He could just make out the form of the potions master in the light of Snape's wand.
Just as he held his breath fearing Snape was coming around the corner he heard the teacher stop and start talking with someone.
Curious Harry inched closer hiding behind a display cabinet, he stayed pressed against the wall and strained his ears to listen.
"I can't keep doing this Black, if Dumbledore finds out I've been sneaking you in we're both in for it." Snape hissed.
"Black?" Harry thought his eyes widened, he couldn't be talking to Sirius Black could he?
Harry peeked around the cabinet he saw Snape standing in the wand light and no other than Sirius Black was standing beside him.
"Your being a great friend by helping me Severus."
"Friend? Get off it." Snape sneered.
They started moving again as the paintings started complaining about the bright light and the noise while they were trying to sleep.
Harry took the opportunity to head in the other direction without being detected.
He made his way to the room of requirement looking around before entering.
Once he was in he whipped the cloak off, he smiled walking over to the couch that sat in the center of the room in front of the fireplace.
Silently he wrapped his arms around the blonde Slytherin lounging there. The boy jumped not hearing Harry approach.
"Why so jumpy love? Harry asked moving to sit beside Draco.
"I'm not jumpy, you snuck up on me." He retorted, annoyance in his voice.
Harry laughed wrapping an arm around his boyfriend, he then noticed Draco's lack of a more snarky comment.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing."
"It's never nothing with you, babe. So what's wrong?"
Draco sighed leaning into Harry, "I was almost caught by Filch on the way up here." How much longer are we going to keep this a secret?"
Harry idly played with Draco's soft blonde hair, "I've told you what could happen if our relationship got out."
"I know if word gets out and somehow Voldemort found out I could be in danger blah blah." He said mockingly.
Harry narrowed his eyes, "Draco if I could I would tell the entire world that Draco Malfoy, the Slytherin sex god is my boyfriend, but I don't want to see you get hurt."
Draco turned around in Harry's arms so that he was facing him, "And I've told you that I would stand up to Voldemort for you, I would stand and fight by your side." Draco said completely serious, his sliver eyes narrowed.
"Just drop it, Draco." He warned.
Draco scowled, but let the conversation drop knowing it wasn't going to go any further.
He kissed Harry gently before turning back around to rest against his chest.
"You're lucky I love you so much." Harry laughed then remembered what he was going to tell Draco.
"I saw Snape on the way here and get this he was talking to my godfather!"
"Sirius Black was in the school?"
"I know shocking, I had no clue he was here, but the more important question is what was Snape helping him?"
Draco stared at the fire pondering this; he knew Snape was not a very helping person. There was also the fact that Snape and Sirius hadn't the best of friends when they were in school.
If he knew Snape correctly he knew that he would never help an enemy. Although Draco recalled Snape helping Remus with the wolfs bane potion back in third year.
"I have no clue." He voiced. "Perhaps Sirius is giving him something in return for sneaking him into the castle."
"What could Snape want?"
Draco never answered, not knowing what to say he just let the conversation drop. Harry noticed his silence and left the conversation at that, letting silence overtake them.
"You're not mad at me are you?" Harry said breaking the silence.
"Why would I be mad?"
"You're being silent and that usually means you're mad with me."
Draco smiled turning around to face his boyfriend again; he wrapped his arms around his neck straddling his hips as he did so.
His robe fell over Harry's thighs, "If I was angry with you I would have already stormed out in a Slytherin fit. Seeing as that hasn't happened I'm not angry with you."
He placed his lips on Harry's softly, Harry responded by pulling the Slytherin even closer until he was practically lying on top of him.
He pressed his lips to Draco's the blonde boy melted into the kiss, and soon tongues were being clashed together and Harry was laying Draco down on the couch and attempting to rip his clothes off.
He'd gotten as far as getting Draco's robes pulled off and thrown on the floor and was unbuttoning the blonde's shirt when hands pushed against his chest willing him to stop.
The Gryffindor broke away groaning because he really didn't want to.
"What's wrong?" He asked confused why Draco would want him to stop.
"Nothing, not that I'm complaining but it's getting late and we've had this talk before."
"Oh yeah we've been over this." Harry said remembering the conversation about Draco not being ready to give it up just yet.
He remembered being shocked to hear that the Slytherin sex god was still a virgin.
Draco had simply told him that his reputation preceded him and when he felt it was the right time they would go all the way.
"I want you to want me for more than sex." Draco said snapping the Gryffindor out of his flashback.
He lightly ran his thumb over Draco's cheek smiling lovingly, "I already do Dragon I'm not going to rush you. Besides I think waiting will benefit our relationship greatly."
This earned him a smile from Draco who leaned up and kissed him chastely before rolling out from under him, grabbing his discarded robe from the floor and slipping it back on.
He made sure his hair was nothing short of perfection before walking to the entrance and holding out a hand for Harry.
The Gryffindor took it lacing their fingers together before throwing the invisibility cloak over the both of them.
They walked hand in hand down the halls of Hogwarts keeping an eye out for teacher or Filch.
They made it to the Slytherin dungeons undetected quickly kissing goodbye. Harry watched Draco disappear through the portrait hole before making his way to Gryffindor tower.
He snuck in without being noticed and quickly settled into bed listening for a break in the snoring. Luckily everyone kept sleeping as he settled in unnoticed.
Although he was tired he couldn't get his restless mind to quite down. There were way too many thoughts running around in his skull.
He had easily picked up that Draco was hiding something from him and it would take a lot to get it out of the stubborn Slytherin.
There was also the fact of running into Sirius, he couldn't think why he would be here he should still be in hiding shouldn't he?
More importantly why was his godfather running around the castle for who knows how long and hadn't tried to contact him at all?
His thoughts eventually drifted off and he fell asleep his dreams mixed with images of Draco and Sirius.
The next morning he woke early before the others even thought of waking up. He dressed quickly rushing out of the dorms to meet Draco before breakfast.
As he walked out of the castle and to the lake he once again found the Slytherin waiting on him. He had his back to him staring out over the lake, deciding not to scare him like last night he said "Draco", gently before approaching.
Startled Draco turned around quickly masking his worried expression with a smile. Harry caught the change in expression, he knew their was something that Draco wasn't telling him but he had no clue how to get it out of the blonde.
Harry wrapped his arms around Draco's waist, kissing his neck softly. Draco rested his hands where Harry's rested on his hips.
Figuring this was as good a time as any Harry spoke up, "I can tell something's wrong with you Dragon, please tell me."
Draco frowned, "It's nothing Harry I'm fine."
"Then why don't I believe that? You've been acting strange lately, I love you so please just spit it out."
Draco moved out of the Gryffindor's embrace, he kissed him chastely before grabbing his rucksack off the ground.
"I need to get to class early; I'll see you in potions."
He walked off not giving Harry a backwards glance. Harry sighed and walked back toward the Great Hall for breakfast.
He sat down hastily between Hermione and Ron quickly stuffing a roll in his mouth to avoid comments of where he had been.
He looked over at the Slytherin table immediately spotting Draco talking to his friends. "Had to be to class early, huh?" he thought.
While he was practically burning a hole in the back of his boyfriends head he hadn't noticed Hermione trying to get his attention. Finally she gave up and hit him in the back of the head with her Ancient Runes book.
"Ow, what the bloody hell was that for Hermione?"
"I've been trying to get you attention for over ten minutes, but you've been to preoccupied glaring at Malfoy."
He sighed seeing no way he was going to win this argument he let it drop, "Sorry Hermione what did you want."
She cleared her throat, "Well as you probably know, Ginny has quite the crush on you. She'd like to know if you feel the same."
Harry nearly chocked on his pumpkin juice, he had no interest in Ginny Weasly his best mate's sister or not.
"Why don't you want to date my sister?" Ron questioned jumping into the conversation.
"Just great." Harry moaned inwardly
"Your sister is great, but I don't want a girlfriend at the moment."
"But Ginny adores you!" Hermione piped in.
"Look guys she's brilliant, but I just don't have time for a girlfriend." He said hoping that they would leave him alone.
"Is there another girl?" Ron asked not about to let the conversation drop.
"No, no it's—"
"Then what's wrong with Ginny then?" Hermione asked cutting Harry off. "We just want you to be happy Ginny would be a good girl for you."
Frustrated Harry stood slamming his hands on the table causing the silverware to rattle. "You know what would make me happy? If you two would stop pestering me!"
By now the whole Gryffindor table and the other houses were staring at him, ignoring them he calmly walked out of the Great Hall not looking back at any of them.
Draco watched him go confused at what had caused his outburst, once the conversations had started back up he told his friends he had to go to the bathroom and silently slipped out of the Great Hall to locate Harry.
After searching for ten minutes he found him leaning against a wall, hands in his pockets and staring off into space.
Draco moved to stand beside him copying his posture, "What was that horrid display about?"
Harry sighed, "Hermione and Ron are such gits thinking I want to date Ginny Weasly if they only knew."
"You don't do you?" Draco said weakly.
Harry looked at him astonished, "Of course not! Please don't tell me you're accusing me of liking her?"
"No I'm not, but maybe you should date her."
Harry stared at him confused at what he was getting at, "What are you saying?"
He shrugged, "If you date her then no one will suspect anything's going on with us."
"Your mental!" he yelled he had to hold back the urge to hit him. "What would make you think that I would ever want to date her over you?
Draco didn't answer he decided to find the floor really interesting then. Harry turned to face him grabbing his hands and linking their fingers together.
"Baby, please talk to me is this what's been bothering you?" Draco avoided his gaze staring once again at the floor.
"I've seen the way she looks at you." He whispered. If Harry hadn't been so close he wouldn't have heard him.
"It doesn't matter how she looks at me, I'm only looking at you."
Draco looked at him but didn't say anything, Harry sighed. "This is what I was talking about, your not acting like yourself. The Draco I know would hex the person who wanted his boyfriend, and this morning you left me saying you had to get to class early and you were talking to your friends.
I don't understand what's happened to my dragon, what's happened to your Slytherin nature?"
Draco bit his lip once again looking away from Harry, "It's complicated and I just can't tell you."
This frustrated Harry what could be so important he couldn't even tell him? Draco was slipping though his fingers and he had no clue what to do about it.
The bell rang for class and they went their separate ways jumping apart before anyone got the chance to see them talking civilly
A few classes later Harry walked into potions taking a seat beside Ron, "What's gotten into you?" Ron asked.
Harry turned toward him quickly masking any emotions he was expressing. "It's nothing I'm sorry I exploded at you guys it's just I think Malfoy is up to something." He added changing the subject away from himself.
"When is Malfoy not up to something?" Ron retorted.
"True but it seems like he's hiding something."
"What makes you think that?"
"It's Malfoy enough said." Malfoy walked in just then taking a seat with the other Slytherins.
Harry glanced at him, but quickly turned his eyes away, the inner voice inside of him tried to reason that he shouldn't be angry with Draco.
There were plenty of things he couldn't just blab to him, the nightmares that were starting to pick up for instance.
Harry told that voice to shut up, he had every right to be mad Draco for keeping secrets from him.
It was true they were keeping a huge secret between them, but that didn't mean that they had to keep secrets from each other .
Harry glanced back over at Draco, molten silver met emerald green and Harry had to force himself to look away.
Draco continued to look at him solemnly, but broke his gaze when Professor Snape walked in.
He immediately started class, commanding that they turn to ac certain page in their books. Giving no reason for why he was late to class.
After a quick brief on the potion, living death he broke them into groups and set them to work. Being Snape of course he picked their groups for them earning groans from several students.
Harry groaned with them when by some twist of luck or even fate he got stuck in a group with Malfoy, but he figured with Ron also in the group he'd avoid any kind of civil conversation.
"Snape's a foul git for sticking me in a group with you, Potter." Malfoy spat as soon as they had gathered around their cauldron.
"I agree no one should have to be stuck with your ferret face Malfoy." Harry sneered, attempting his version of a Malfoy glare, dating Draco definitely had it's up sides.
This was the usual routine for both of them, someone makes a snide comment and the other makes one right back.
It didn't matter how much the words really hurt, there were apologies and make up kisses later, but Harry doubted there would be any of that this time.
"That's enough." Ron said intervening "As much as I'd love to hear you continue to call ferret face, Snape is giving us foul looks so we better get started."
Harry and Draco glared one last time before beginning their work. The remainder of the time went by without any fights. They simply worked together until everything was complete.
Snape approved of their concoction giving special credit to Draco, then they were going their separate ways after the bell.
The two Gryffindor's met up with the third member of their trio and they headed to the Great Hall for lunch.
On the way there Harry spotted a familiar blonde hiding around a corner.
"Guy's I have to run to the bathroom I'll meet you inside."
The two Gryffindor's nodded and left chatting with each other, he waited until they were out of sight before ducking around the corner to where Draco was waiting on him.
"What is it?" Harry asked, not minding how cruel he sounded.
The hope that Harry wouldn't still be mad at him died right then, he couldn't meet Harry's smoldering green eyes.
"I wanted to say that I'm sorry for the snarky comments, I didn't mean them." He didn't look at Harry fearing that he would he wouldn't forgive him.
"Yeah I didn't mean what I said either." Harry mentally smacked himself, that wasn't what he wanted to say at all.
He wanted to say that he didn't forgive him and that trying to make up right now wasn't acceptable and that he meant every word he said.
He sighed why did nothing ever go right for him? He pressed his lips against Draco's lightly before turning away from him.
"I'll see you in Defense Against the Dark Arts."
"Yeah." Was all Draco said before he watched Harry leave.
Hope you all enjoyed this, an update will come as soon as possible. I work on this story during creative writing so that will more than likely be soon as long as I don't have tons of homework for other classes.
