Chapter Two
August 31st found Harry and Draco checking into the Leaky Cauldron for the night. The alternative name Draco had booked them in under seemingly unnecessary as Harry skulked behind him beneath his Dad's old invisibility cloak. Tom watched Draco suspiciously as he climbed the stairs to his room apparently alone and occasionally making jerky movements every so often when Harry decided it would be hilariously funny to pinch him on the bum.
Draco was a little irritable as they reached their room, the moment the door was closed and Harry had removed his invisibility cloak, laughing so hard his sides were hurting, Draco grabbed him and threw him to the bed, straddling him, effectively pinning him there.
"Stop laughing you prat," Draco said in mock anger, finding it hard to be mad at the Gryffindor at all. "Tom's already suspicious of me for checking in here alone under an assumed name. He now thinks I'm completely crazy too."
"Oh relax Dray, let him think whatever he wants," Harry said playfully, "We've got the night to ourselves, possibly the last night we'll have together for a while, can we please just make the most of it?"
"Don't say things like that."
"Like what?"
"That it's our last night together for a while," Draco said sadly, "I don't want to think about being apart from you."
"I'm still all yours Draco Malfoy, sleeping in different dormitories doesn't change that. The world knows we're friends so we can still spend time together and we'll see each other all the time because we'll have a few of the same classes."
"But I wont' get to wake up to you every morning. Have I ever mentioned how cute you are when you've just woken up?" Draco asked as he began to kiss Harry's neck, marking his territory with a little suckling, only content when he was sure that it would leave a mark. Harry was already writing beneath him as Draco opened his trousers. It was a very swift process for the teens to be completely undressed.
Despite the fact they'd only had sex this morning they were still desperate for each other, each touch red hot as they reacted to each other, their bodies like magnets as they caressed one another.
The two of them practically fell of the bed in shock when the door to their room burst open. They hadn't locked it with spells but then they hadn't thought they would need to. They'd been careless in their desperation to be with one another.
The two Auror's who'd burst in on them, wands drawn were looking suddenly horrified. Harry and Draco scrambled to cover themselves as one of the Auror's muttered something about waiting outside for them.
"Wait here Dray, I'll go talk to them," Harry said wrapping a blanket around his waist to maintain what he had left of his dignity.
"Do you want me to come with you love?" Draco asked.
"No, you wait here, they'll be my colleagues this time next year. I need to have their respect and not be the laughing stock of the office on my first day. I'll be right back." Draco watched Harry leave, feeling a little rejected and as if he was a dirty little secret rather than the love of Harry's life.
Once outside with a blanket held precariously low around his waist Harry faced the two Auror's the same way he would if they were fully clothed. Both were male, neatly dressed with short hair and they both looked at him apologetically.
"I'm Williamson, Mr Potter and this is my partner, Mitchell. I'm sorry for interrupting your evening, we were responding to a report of a suspected deatheater acting suspiciously."
"It's quite alright. Perhaps I should clear a few things up for you. Draco Malfoy is no more of a deatheater than I am. He was cleared of any charges against him and I suspect he was acting suspiciously because we are trying to keep our relationship discreet. It seemed prudent not to draw attention to myself or my personal life when I have accepted a job as an Auror myself starting next year once I have achieved my N.E.W.T's."
"Yes of course Mr Potter, we completely understand," Williamson said, "We won't tell a soul. With all the press lurking around it's completely understandable."
"Your sensitivity on this matter is much appreciated, as you can understand I would like to have my final year at Hogwarts in peace."
"Of course Mr Potter, however as you will come to understand there is an element of paperwork involved that comes hand in hand with being an Auror. I can exclude Malfoy's name from the reports easily enough but I will need a name."
"I don't see why you do, a nameless girl and a miss understanding is all that needs to be documented here. For the time being it is better if the wizarding world is privy to my sexual preferences. I thank you graciously for your cooperation," Harry said trying desperately to maintain decorum, tact and dignity in front of two people he would soon be working with.
It was fortunate that both the Auror's seemed to be fans of him. If they weren't then Harry was sure that he would be having a very different conversation with them. He may not have like his fame or the attention it brought him but he wasn't averse to using it to his benefit, after all he was the one who had to put up with it. If this was what it took to guard his personal life from the public eye and keep Draco safe then this is what he would do.
"Everything go alright?" Draco asked when Harry returned to their room, dropping his blanket at the door before erecting magical locking charms on the door so that they wouldn't be disturbed again.
"They have assured me of their subtlety on the matter, they'll make a note in their reports that it was a false alarm and all they found was Harry Potter banging some girl, we have nothing to worry about." Harry said as he re-joined Draco on the bed, "No where were we?"
"Before we continue where we left off can I ask you something?" Draco asked, pulling away before Harry could start kissing him because once that happened there wouldn't be any going back.
"Anything Dray," Harr replied, "You know that."
"Are you ashamed of me?"
Harry looked astounded by this sudden question, confused as to where it had come from, "Draco, how can you think that after everything we've been through? If anything I would have thought it would be the other way around."
"I'm not ashamed of you Harry, I'd shout with pride from every roof top from here to Hogwarts about how much I love you."
Harry looked at his boyfriend with love in his eye, "I only want to keep us a secret to protect us both. I can't wait to be able to hold your hand and kiss you in public. It's just too soon and besides the people that matter to me, Ron, Hermione, the rest of the Weasley's, they all know. Isn't that enough right now?"
"I guess it has to be," Draco replied, still feeling a little hurt. He hated the fact that it would be on record in the Auror office that Harry had been found shacked up with some girl when it had been them that had been together. Of course Harry could feel how hurt his feelings were and snuggled into the warmth of his body, their naked bodies intertwining. "Guess I killed the mood."
"Never Dray," Harry replied tilting his head up so that the blonde could kiss him. "Though seeing as we're talking I wanted to give you something."
"What's the occasion?"
"Do I really need an occasion to give my wonderfully handsome boyfriend a present?" Harry asked as he reached down into his back pack and brought out a gift box.
"What's this?" Draco asked curiously accepting the box.
"Open it and see." So Draco did and was astounded at what he saw. "It's not anything as serious as a marriage proposal, it's more akin to the locket you gave to me. You see the ring has the Potter crest engraved on it. Well I've also charmed it with the same spell you used on the locket, to make any separation we have to bear easier."
The ring itself was a silver band, simple and elegant with a flat surface where the family crest was engraved, Draco could feel it pulsing with the magic it possessed. "Are you sure your family would approve of you giving away something like this?" Draco asked in stunned awe.
"They're all dead so they don't really have a say in it besides I think that they would just want me to be happy," Harry said watching Draco carefully as he removed the ring from the box, "So, do you like it?"
"I love it," Draco replied as he put it on. Now both teens had their own brand of ownership on the other. The only thing was Harry didn't realise the significance this had. He had not been raised in the wizarding world and although from a pureblood line aside from his mother, he didn't realise the implication that exchanging such personal family heirlooms had. Draco had known of course when he had given Harry the locket, it was a sign of how serious their relationship was and that it would one day work up to a marriage proposal and a wedding. By returning the favour and presenting the Slytherin with his own family crest Harry had acknowledge that this was the direction they were heading.
The only problem was that he was unaware of the significance of the gesture he had just made. All Harry had been thinking was that he wanted to take care of Draco. He didn't want him distracted by the throbbing ache in his chest whenever they were separated. They could both do without those kind of distractions when they had so much work to catch up on to get the grades they needed in their N.E.W.T's.
HPDM
September 1st and both Harry and Draco were exhausted. They had been awake for nearly the whole night enjoying the soft caressing touch of each other and making the most of their last night where they could share a bed without the worry of being caught. The next few months while they were at school were going to be rather trying. Both wearing the others crest as a symbol of their love for one another.
Leaving their hotel room, Harry holding the cloak in his hand, he looked at Draco with a fond smile, taking his hand. "I'll meet you outside in a couple minutes," He said and gave Draco a quick kiss to the corner of the lips before vanishing beneath the cloak. What neither of them noticed was a rather nosy house keeper with an obsession for taking pictures spying on them. She had heard that Harry Potter was in the building and had been dying to get a photograph and an autograph but this was so much better. She was already dreaming of the millions of galleons that she would make selling the exclusive story to Which Wizard or the Daily Prophet. She was looking forward to not having to be a house keeper anymore.
Ron and Hermione met Harry and Draco outside Kings Cross at half past ten. Also with them was Ginny, Neville, Seamus and Luna. The Slytherin scowled at the sight of the youngest Weasley, unimpressed that she had the nerve to be here and wearing what looked to be the least amount of clothes possible for such a chilly September day. Harry seemed not to notice as he greeted his friends. She glared at Draco as she hugged his mate, pressing her breasts against him and holding the embrace a few moments too long making Draco a little edgy.
Harry looked to his boyfriend, wondering why he was so on edge with Ginny. He knew the two didn't get along but he thought it ridiculous that she was trying to be with him. He still didn't see his appeal and felt lucky that Draco wanted to be with him, Veela or not. Besides it didn't matter even if she was interested in him, he only had eyes for one person.
