A/N Another chapter! I'm on holiday for a couple a week and a bit so next update isn't until after next Wednesday...sorry!

Thanks to all those who have reviewed.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Harry Potter.

Enjoy!

The group of seven made their way along the tunnels with Harry carrying Emma on his back. They stopped every few hundred yards for Emma to swap between Harry and Draco until Harry sighed in exasperation. Putting Emma down, he turned to Lucius who was talking quietly to Narcissa.

"Lucius," the blond man looked up, "this is ridiculous, why don't we just apparate to the wards of Hogwarts?"

"Voldemort has the power to trace the apparitions of his followers." Harry frowned before smiling softly.

"And how does he do that?" He asked.

"The Mar…k." Lucius let the 'k' fall into silence. He looked down to his arm before fixing Harry with an awed stare before shaking his head in wonder. "You really are something Mr Potter." He said in an amazed tone.

"Thank you." Harry hung his head in embarrassment. "So why are we still standing here?"

"Right. Alistair, take Harry, Narcissa take Draco, Annalise take yourself and I'll take Emma." He waited for a moment before people re-shuffled themselves to stand by the people Lucius had paired them up with. "Picture Hogwarts gates and off we go." He closed his own eyes and gripped Emma tightly as she tightened her own arms around Lucius' neck. Taking a breath, Lucius pictured the gates and turned on the spot. Split seconds later the party were assembled at Hogwarts gates. Draco broke from his mother's grip and approached Harry, pulling the boy close to him and taking his lips in a bruising kiss. Pulling apart, Draco beamed at Harry.

"You are a genius!" He declared before kissing him again. Draco pulled back with slightly swollen lips and knelt down to hug the girl pulling on his trouser leg.

"There it is Em, Hogwarts." He said as she went to hug Harry. Harry chuckled at the girl's enthusiastic hugs before taking Draco's hand and making his way to the gates. As he went to cross the threshold he was met by an invisible wall as the wards rebelled against him and rebuffed him.

"Shit!" He exclaimed as he tried to get past the wall.

"Language Harry." Draco chastised amusingly. Harry whirled to face him.

"Seriously Draco? We're on the verge of finding safety, Voldemort probably knows where we are by now and is on his way, I can't get past these wards and you're focusing on my choice of words?" Draco opened his mouth to retort but was cut off by a series of pops around them.

"DOWN!" Lucius bellowed as the forms of Death Eaters became apparent. Harry shoved Draco and Emma unceremoniously to the floor as he pulled his wand out and sent a series of shield spells around them. Draco quickly gathered his head and jumped back up, drawing his wand out and sending blasting and cutting spells into the throng of Death Eaters. Narcissa had already sent curses and hexes into the throng along with Annalise and Alistair who were also firing spells as fast as they could.

Lucius was locked in battle with two Death Eaters, a sheen of sweat already on his forehead as he ducked and weaved from their Crucios and killing curses. Harry growled before throwing himself into the battle, weaving through the network of spells and firing his own. He stunned a Death Eater but was already moving onto another before the stunned had hit the floor. Narcissa was duelling with Bellatrix but was already suffering from a deep cut on her wand arm; her movements were becoming slower as the battle went on so Harry made his way over. Standing behind Narcissa, he quickly sent a spell to Bellatrix who paused for a moment.

"Well, well, well, looks like Potter wants to play again." Harry was saved from replying as Bellatrix re-entered the duel with more energy and enthusiasm. Narcissa tried to help but Harry pushed her away, silently telling her to get back. She listened and ran to the wards trying to find a way in.

Draco stood back to back with his father as they took down Death Eater by Death Eater. They were falling swiftly, leaving only the capable fighters standing and fighting desperately. The curses became more violent and were thrown in quick succession making Draco and Lucius duck and weave their way to the gates. Annalise and Alistair were also making their way closer to the gates.

Emma felt herself being thrown to the floor and braced herself for the impact. It never came. Instead she found herself about an inch from the floor before being lowered softly. Turning onto her back she saw a strand of a ward re-joining the wards with a shimmer. Looking at her hand she closed her eyes and cleared her mind from the battle going on behind her and focused on her magic. She opened her eyes and saw her magic retreating back into her. Experimentally, she brought it back out and crawled to the gate, touching the invisible wall that had stopped Harry. She watched in fascination as the ward broke apart leaving a small doorway for her to pass through.

She turned around and saw her mother making her way to her with her arm bleeding. Shaking her head she beckoned with her hand for her mother to come closer. As her mother approached, Emma widened the door and pushed her mother through it, Narcissa passed through without a trouble. Smiling, she turned back to the battle and saw Alistair and Annalise coming closer, summoning her magic, she wound it around them, pulling them closer to her and sending them to stand with her mother. She repeated the motion with Lucius and Draco, stopping to breathe a bit before looking for Harry. She saw his magic immediately, sparking and hurling in the direction of Bellatrix. Summoning more magic, she wound her magic into Harry's, a feat made easier due to her help with his Mark, and pulled him over to her. She sent him back through the wards, not noticing the murky grey magic tied within Harry's. She brought her magic back in and made to walk through the doorway she had created.

Hands clawed at her shoulders and pulled her back, making her lose contact with the ward and she watched in growing panic as her family tried to get out but couldn't. She struggled in the arms that held her before freezing in panic as a wand was placed at her throat.

"Well, it seems that we're about to become better acquainted." Was all she heard as the world faded around her in a haze of darkness.

Draco watched in fascination as Emma pulled Harry towards her and pushed him through the doorway she had created. Awe suddenly turned to horror as Bellatrix grabbed Emma and hauled her back, preventing the girl's escape into the safety of Hogwarts. Cursing he surged forwards along with his father and Harry but was thrown back onto the floor by the wards. Again he did this and again he found himself on the floor. He stood, breathing heavily and glared at Bellatrix. He watched in growing horror as Bellatrix grinned manically at them before disappearing in a cloud of darkness. He watched in growing anger as the remaining Death Eaters gathered the others and apparated away. Anger grew to hysteria as he started screaming along with his mother and kept running at the wards. After about the sixth time of being flung to the floor he gave up and turned to Harry.

"Bring her back." He demanded. Harry swallowed thickly before placing his hands on Draco's shoulders and looking into grey eyes.

"I will. I promise." He said softly. "I promise." He said louder. Taking Draco's shaking hand in his own, he turned and led the way to the doors of Hogwarts. Everyone followed in a deadly silence, no one speaking aloud. Lucius walked behind them, his arm around Narcissa as he murmured in her ear. She was nodding slowly, ignorant of the tears that had streamed down her face.

Dumbledore was waiting at the doors for them with three house elves and smiled with a twinkle in his eyes as they approached. Harry glared at him before steering Draco past him.

"We'll talk tomorrow." He ground out before walking off with Draco. One of the house elves turned and followed them off. The rest of the party did the same and each house elf followed them. Dumbledore was left standing on the steps, staring out at the grounds with his smile gone.

Harry sat on the edge of the bed glancing around the room the house elf had guided them to. It was nice, a mixture of browns and silvers, with a large bed and wardrobe in it. It also had an ensuite which Draco was currently in, taking a bath Harry had drawn for him. As if summoned, Draco emerged from the room with a cream towel wrapped around his waist. Harry felt his mouth grow dry but ignored his lust as he registered the tear tracks on Draco's face. Walking over, he wrapped his arms around the other boy and pulled him tight. Draco shuddered and gave way to another bout of tears. After several minutes of crying in Harry's arms, Draco calmed down and stood there breathing deeply. After a couple of minutes of just standing there, Draco nuzzled Harry's neck and placed a kiss there, smiling at the shiver that went through Harry at the contact. Smiling, he placed another and another, making his way up to Harry's lips.

Draco placed a soft kiss there, pulling back slightly to see Harry breathing shallowly with his eyes half shut. With a feral growl, Harry gripped the back of Draco's head and mashed their lips together in a bruising kiss, tongue sweeping inside as Draco opened his mouth to allow him entrance.

This is why he loved him, Draco mused as he was navigated to the bed, because Harry never asked questions about what he wanted, he just went with it. Draco fell onto the bed with an 'oomph' and he pulled Harry on top of him, swiping the other boys t-shirt over his head. Jeans, shoes, socks and a towel soon joined Harry's shirt on the floor and both men paused as they stared at each other.

"Just do it." Draco whispered as Harry went back to kissing him. Harry kissed his way down the pale boy's chest and took a nipple in his mouth. Teasing it and pulling it into a hard nub, he left it in favour of the other one. Soon, Draco was a moaning heap on the bed, writhing and arching beneath Harry. Harry pulled back and held out his hand as the summoned lube came into his hand. Draco wondered hazily when Harry had summoned it but all thoughts went out of his head as Harry eased a slick finger inside of him. Gripping Harry's biceps, Draco arched and moaned as Harry pumped his finger in and out, adding another two in time. After a couple of expert twists of his hand, Harry found Draco's prostate and rubbed it, sending Draco wild. Pulling his fingers out, he reached for the lube but Draco stopped him.

"Let me." He whispered as he popped the lid on the tube. Squirting a generous amount out, he replaced the lid and tossed the container to the floor. Smiling wickedly, he reached down and gripped Harry's hardness in a firm grip. Harry's eyes fluttered shut and he openly moaned. Encouraged, Draco ran his hand up and down Harry's shaft, bringing the other man to near completion as he twisted his hand over the head. Removing his hand, he wiped his hand on the cover beside him and settled himself back among the pillows. "When you're reading Potter." Draco drawled with a glint in his eyes as he folded his arms behind his head.

Harry's eyes snapped open and he lifted Draco's legs around his waist as he drove home in one thrust. Draco arched with a moan and his arms sprung out from under his head and gripped Harry's back in a bone-crushing grip. Harry chuckled and murmured "that's Harry to you" before forcefully thrusting into Draco. The pace picked up and Harry reached down between them and grabbed Draco's cock, pumping it and bringing Draco to completion. Harry soon followed and filled Draco with his seed. Pulling out, he cast a wandless cleaning charm and pulled Draco beneath the covers.

"Sleep Draco." He whispered into Draco's ear as the blond snuggled into him.

"Promise me you'll save Emma." Draco whispered back. Harry stared up at the canopy above their bed and picture Bellatrix's smug grin as she held onto Emma. He wanted the chance to take the grin off her face.

"I promise."
