A/N I'm dedicating this to njferrell for the idea I received :D

'I love you.' Harry swallowed the lump in his throat. He hadn't meant to let slip but now he had, he found it was true. He really did love Draco. Draco pushed himself up from Harry's chest and swung his legs so he was in a sitting position with his feet on the floor and placed his head in his hands. Harry propped himself onto one elbow chewing his lip in anxiety.

'You are joking right?' Draco twisted his head so Harry could hear him. Harry felt his heart sink. This was going to get nasty.

'No, I mean it. I lo-'

'Don't say it again!' Draco stood and shook himself while turning to face Draco.

'Why?' Harry frowned up at him.

'Because it will make it seem true.' Harry felt as if he had been doused in cold water.

'Well we wouldn't want that would we?' he said in a steely tone. Draco smiled briefly.

'Exactly!' he cried. 'It would be so inconvenient.'

'Inconvenient?' Harry echoed. Draco started pacing.

'Yes I mean I haven't even told my father that I've been shagging the Boy-Who-Lived, and frankly I don't intend to. This is just fun right Potter? Just fun so no need to get delusional and start confessing love everywhere.' Harry felt his anger creeping up on him.

'I am not delusional Draco!' Draco stopped the pacing and turned to face him.

'Potter, we are sworn enemies you don't go from hate to love so easily, now stop being a girl and get dressed.' Draco turned his back on him and struggled into his boxers.

'What's so wrong with that? You know was well as I do that the Wizarding world is open minded when it comes to being gay so what's the problem.'

'Potter, you seriously have no brain do you? My father would skin me alive if he found out I was a ponce, disown me and remove me from his will. I can't let that happen.' Harry threw himself out of the bed and shrugged into his boxers and trousers irritably.

''Cause money is such a big worry.' Draco stopped his dressing and turned to face him.

'Of course it's not, but you know Malfoys have a lot of money, it would help me get through life.'

'I would help you, for Gods sake Draco why do we hide behind doors and cupboards? Why don't we tell anyone?'

'Well we told someone…Weaselette.' Harry rolled his eyes and Draco walked over to him, cupping his cheek. 'It's just not worth the stress you'd receive, especially when they find out this was just fun.'

'Whose 'they'?' Now it was Draco's turn to roll his eyes.

'The journalists, reporters, newspapers, magazines, you're hardly anonymous Harry.' Harry twisted out of Draco's caress and grabbed his shirt flinging it on his shoulders but not buttoning it.

'I don't care. For once I've found something I love and I don't care what they say I want you Dray, I'll always want you.'

'What if I don't want you?'

'Don't you?' Draco closed his eyes and shook his head to ward away a pending headache.

'It was great Potter, fun, but nothing more…there's no feelings involved.' Harry bit the inside of his gum and nodded. Without looking at Draco or saying anything else, he swiped up his cloak and wand and left the room. Draco leaned against the bed post and sighed. That had been ugly.

Harry burst into the Gryffindor tower and went straight to his dorm. Ron and Hermione made to follow but Ginny said she would. Eager to see them back together, the other two allowed her to go and carried on with their conversation. Ginny swiftly made her way to Harry's dorm and found he had warded the door and locked it. Sighing slightly, she knocked gently and felt the wards lift. Sliding into the room, she replaced the wards and made her way to Harry. Pulling him into her arms, she stroked his hair as Harry finally gave over to the tears.

'He….he…ended it all.' Harry choked out after five minutes of solid tears. 'I told him, I told him I loved him and he ditched me. Said his father wouldn't like it, neither would the newspapers and that, but he never thought how I would feel. He called it fun. That was all it was. That was all it ever was to him.' Fresh tears took hold of Harry and Ginny rocked him until he fell asleep. Tucking him under the blanket that was at the end of his bed, she lifted the wards and left to her own room where she sat and thought.

She of course knew that Draco felt the same way for Harry. Theodore Nott had told her so in potions yesterday. Due to being a whiz at the subject, Ginny had been moved up a year for that particular subject and had been partnered with the Slytherin. Yesterday he had scowled at her and said 'if Harry turns away Draco's feelings he'll regret it, got it Weasley?' Ginny had mutely nodded and got back to shredding the root she had been holding. They didn't expect the tables to be turned. Ginny formed a plan in her head but knew she would need Theo in order for it to succeed.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

In potions the next day, Ginny sidled over to Theo and cast a silencing spell around the nearest vicinity.

'What do you want Weasley?'

'Other than the fact that I'm your partner and expected to work with you I want to talk to you.' Theo brushed a lock of hair out of his eyes.

'Well I know I'm dashing and all but red heads are not my style.' Ginny scoffed and smacked him on the arm.

'Get over yourself for one minute; this is about Harry and Malfoy.' Theo stopped joking and began to listen. 'Harry told Malfoy he loved him last night and Malfoy called the whole thing off claiming his father would hate it and yada yada. Anyway Harry is distraught and I know for a fact that Malfoy loves him to and I want them to get back together.' Theo nodded.

'Compromising situations they are conveniently placed in?' Ginny nodded.

'So long as they don't suspect us we should be fine.'

'Meet me in the kitchens for dinner instead of the Great Hall; we can talk without being overheard. Now lift the silencing ward. Snape's getting suspicious.' Ginny looked up and raised the spell and turned to continue with the potion she was brewing.

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

Later, as she was nearing the Great Hall for dinner, she was gripped by the upper arm and led away. As she was taken into an alcove she started panicking.

'Stop struggling Weaselette.' Ginny froze, it was Malfoy. 'Better. Now I know you saw me and Harry the other night but I want you to swear you are not going to tell anyone. There's nothing going on between Potter and I anymore due to …complications. But that doesn't mean you can blab, so no telling anyone?' Ginny nodded. 'Excellent.' He released Ginny who stumbled but quickly regained her balance. As Draco turned to leave she called out.

'Malfoy,' he turned to fix her with an icy glare. 'Why don't you just tell Harry you love him too – I'm not sure he'll mind.' Draco's eyes hardened.

'I do not love Potter, it's too inconvenient.' He ground out before turning and leaving. Ginny smiled, he had told her exactly what she wanted to know. The only person stopping Harry and Malfoy being together was Malfoy. Senior. Hurriedly, she made her way to the kitchen to find Theo already there. He blushed when she looked at him quizzically. She was early herself so how long had he been sat there?

'I had nothing to do before dinner, I had a free, so I thought I'd come down early and prepare everything.' Ginny smiled and took the seat opposite him and was amazed to see that they had their own little banquet. If they didn't have a purpose for being there, she'd think it was a date. But that was a preposterous idea. Theo had only said that morning that red heads weren't his style. Feeling a sink of disappointment she couldn't explain, Ginny began to fill her plate. As they ate, they filled each other in on what Harry or Draco had told them and what had happened. As Ginny relayed her story about what had happened in the alcove, Theo smiled smugly.

'Draco is so in love with him.' Ginny nodded in agreement.

'So what are we going to do about it?' Theo smiled and laid out his plan for her and Ginny found herself enjoying thinking of compromising situations, either that or it was her company. She didn't know. After an hour of plotting, they both decided to start that evening. Leaving the kitchen, they walked together until they reached the stairs where they split ways.

'Well Weasley you do your bit and I'll do mine. An hour from now?'

'Right. An hour – would be able to do it. Ginny nodded and went to walk away but Theo called her back.

'Ginny,' she looked back and Theo looked at his feet before meeting her gaze again. 'I erm, I had fun …tonight. We should do it again sometime…but without the plotting.' He held his breath wondering why he had done something so spontaneous.

'We should. Goodnight Theo.' Ginny smiled at him and made her way up the stairs when a thought occurred to her. 'Theo?' The boy looked back from his position at the top of the dungeon stairs. 'Can we make it half hour? Then I can dawdle and 'burst' in and start it off?' Theo thought about it.

'Okay I'll do the same. Sure McGonagall won't be there?' Ginny rolled her eyes.

'It's Tuesday, Chess night – she never misses it.' Theo shook his head. Gryffindors.

'Right, see you later.'

'Goodnight.' Both students made their separate ways back to their common rooms trying to convince themselves they could be convincing.

After Ginny had dawdled for twenty five minutes, she ran the stretch of the corridor in front of the Gryffindor tower three times to get her pulse racing. She needed to seem urgent. Similarly, Theo was also running up and down the corridor getting his heart running faster. When they thought it was racing enough, they burst into their common rooms.

'Harry,' the raven haired boy looked up at Ginny, who was trying to get her breath back, 'just saw McGonagall and she said she wanted to see you.' Harry frowned.

'Why?' Ginny rolled her eyes.

'I don't know but she asked me to take you to her classroom. Sorry.' Ginny grabbed him and tried to pull him up.

'Why do you have to escort me may I ask?' Ginny rolled her eyes, again.

'Because I have to make sure you actually go.' Harry sighed resignedly and allowed himself to be pulled along to McGonagall's classroom.

Down in the dudgeons a similar thing was taking place.

'Draco?' The Slytherin Prince looked up. 'McGonagall wants your blood.' Draco rolled his eyes, what had he done now? That old witch had had it in for him since the moment he took his first breath – he was sure of it.

'Where?' Theo looked taken back. He had expected more of a fight.

'Her classroom and I'm to take you there.' Draco narrowed his eyes.

'I'm perfectly able to find her room Nott.'

'Well I'm under strict orders to take you there myself.' Draco huffed. So be it.

'Well come along then I don't want to be there all night.' Theo smiled briefly and followed him from the common room.

Ginny pushed Harry into the room with a muttered 'I have to wait here' and shut the door swiftly. Before she had time to wonder where Nott was she heard the grumbles and quickly flattened herself against the wall. Theo opened the door and gave Draco and shove inside before firmly locking it. Turning around he saw where Ginny had hid herself and went over to her.

'All done.' They smiled at each other and began to wait – wondering what was going on inside the room.

Draco froze at the sight of Harry; he was going to kill Nott. Harry was wearing a similar expression but turned from Draco with a sigh.

'No need to sigh Potter I'm leaving.'

'Don't.' The word was out before Harry could stop it but Draco stopped in his tracks. 'Please, can we at least talk about last night?'

'Why talk? I said all I had to say.'

'You might have but I didn't.' Draco turned to face Harry and was startled to see Harry ahd tears brimming in his eyes. 'I love you Draco and I know you say you don't love me back but I know you do. I heard it, I felt it, hell I even saw it so who are you trying to kid? We would be fantastic together and you know it so why are you hiding?'

Draco hung his head and surveyed Harry. He had his shirt untucked, his hair was a mess and he looked utterly shaggable, it took all Draco's will power to stop himself for pouncing on the younger boy. That and his denial about loving him.

'Stuff.' Harry rubbed his eyes in frustration.

'Your father you mean. How many times Draco, I can support you. I'll pay for everything for you need just to have you by my side. I don't care about your father or the press or anything else the only thing I care about is you.'

'Is that what you think Potter? That you'll just pay my way in the Wizarding world and everything will be dandy? What if I bump into my father while shopping? What if we bump into him in a restaurant? You can't avoid him Harry. I'm a pure blood and I have to meet the expectations set for me. Find a nice girl, marry, have kids. Not fall in love with a boy, sponge off him and adopt. It doesn't work like that Harry, not in my world.'

'So you do?' Draco's head whipped up to meet Harry's gaze.

'Do what?' Harry took several strides until his and Draco's chests were touching.

'Love me.' He whispered.

'I never….I didn't….I don't Potter. I don't.' Draco stuttered, when had he goofed up? Harry smiled wickedly before running his hands down Draco's body.

'Oh yeah?' He questioned.

'Yeah.' Draco replied breathlessly. Harry gripped his cock and gave it a squeeze sending so many mixed emotions through him and making his heart race. Harry removed his hand from Draco's hard cock and placed it over Draco's racing heart.

'How do you explain that then?' He murmured. When Draco remained silent Harry smiled. 'That what I thought.' Harry swooped down and captured Draco's lips, gaining a gasp from the blonde as he arched into Harry. Harry snuck his tongue in to meet Draco's and they battled each other with Harry coming up trumps. He ran his hands back down Draco's body reaching behind to cup his arse. Draco arched further and further into Harry until it became impossible to tell where the bodies separated. As Draco was reaching into Harry's trousers, Harry pulled away. 'I don't do casual fucks Malfoy.' He hissed before removing himself from Draco's vicinity and leaving the room.

Ginny and Theo cowered from the 'fuck' that came from Draco and ran along the corridor so as to avoid being caught by Draco. In the entrance hall they stopped and caught their breath.

'No…Not good...' Ginny panted.

'Nope, but we have other plans. See you tomorrow.' Theo leant forward and placed a kiss on Ginny's cheek before he realised what he was doing. 'This is getting to be fun Weasley.' He said as he winked at her and made his way down the steps to the Slytherin dungeons. Ginny made her way to the Gryffindor tower dazedly recalling just what had happened. Where did that place her with Theodore now?

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0

For three weeks Ginny and Theo put Harry and Draco into many situations which could lead to them getting back together. They included shutting down the showers so only the prefects baths were able to be used and sending them both to the same one at the same time. That had ended with a naked Harry chasing a naked Draco through two corridors before both realising they were in fact naked. Thus, when they realised the state they were in they both pelted it back to the bathroom and left it wearing a mix of each others clothes, each trying to escape the other.

Ginny had managed to convince Harry to come to the library with her to 'revise' as Theo did the same with Draco. Once there, Theo and Ginny had seen each other and separated to do potions leaving Draco and Harry to revise together. This idea had ended with Harry being banned from the library after he had hexed all the books to hit Draco repeatedly until Draco confessed he loved Harry. He hadn't as Madame Pince had interrupted but in Harry's eyes it was a good plan.

Theo had set alight Harry's and Draco's Transfiguration end of topic tests at the same time making them think the otherhad done it. This ended with Harry and Draco fighting each other and being placed in detention together. Their detention was scrubbing the floor of the infirmary together and without magic. Harry ended being soaked with soapy water when he began to sing, only promising to shut up when Draco told him he loved him.

Meanwhile in the wings, Ron and Hermione were oblivious as to what was going on and Theo and Ginny were becoming more and more desperate for ideas. They sat in potions moaning at themselves when Ginny found the answer.

'Lucius needs to know.' Theo looked at her blankly. 'If he finds out Malfoy has been with Harry then Draco won't deny it and it'll come out. Then he can date Harry freely.'

'I don't know Gin, Lucius has a temper. By the way you just called Malfoy 'Draco''

'Well Malfoy's name is Draco so I'm using it. Besides, he's Lucius' only son and I'm sure Lucius will be willing to welcome Harry to the family if it kept Draco happy.'

'It's a long shot but a shot all the same. How are we going to catch them, on camera and in a position which suggests they're dating?' Ginny caught his eye and they both grinned.

'Colin Creevey.' They both cried.

'That's it! I'll tell Harry tonight to just grab Draco and kiss him and FLASH Colin gets it on camera and we buy it from him and send one to Lucius.'

'Buy it?' Theo looked scandalised.

'No one does anything for free.' Theo nodded. 'I just hate how complicated their love life has become…I mean we have to hire someone to get them together...sort of.' Theo blushed and shyly looked at Ginny.

'You know just because Harry and Draco mucked things up, doesn't mean we have to.' Ginny looked at him.

'What are yo-' Theo cut her off by kissing her and Ginny's eyes widened. Thinking about it, Theo wasn't that bad a kisser, smiling slightly, Ginny closed her eyes and deepened the kiss…as their potion exploded. Needles to say both got detention for inappropriate public display of affection. Neither cared – they had a plan.

Two days later Harry stalked into the entrance hall, god knows why Dumbledore wanted to meet him here of all places but he'd never understand that man. Sighing Harry whirled around when he heard footsteps. It was Draco.

'What are you doing here?' Draco demanded.

'I'm here to see Dumbledore, you?' Draco rolled his eyes, trust Potter to be polite.

'He's here to see me, not you, now bugger off.'

'I don't think so Malfoy.' Harry drew his wand and took a step closer.

'You threatening me Potter?' Draco drew his wand to and both boys walked at each other until their chests were touching. Breathing heavily, they looked at each other until Draco pulled Harry down for a rolling kiss. Harry groaned and opened his mouth to the seeking tongue and met it with his own devouring it and drowning in the taste of Draco. He felt hands untuck his shirt and felt himself grow hard and pulled Draco even closer, forcing their erections together. Harry buried his hand in Draco's hair and used his other one to fiddle with the belt buckle. Reaching inside Draco's pants Harry sighed and…FLASH!

The flash brought the boys back to reality as they broke apart and whirled around trying to find the source. Colin smiled and made his way back silently to where Ginny and Theo were waiting. Holding out his hand and the photo, Colin exchanged it for 15 galleons. Smiling happily he wandered off as Ginny and Theo slipped the photo into the addressed envelope and gave it to the owl they had brought with them.

'This should set things in motion.' Theo grinned down at Ginny and sent the owl on its way. They both watched it go before taking each other's hand and walking away.

The next morning Draco put his head in his hands and groaned. He had not shagged Potter for over three weeks and he was going insane. The boy was like a drug – just not as bad for the system. Draco longed to tell him he loved him in return but it would do such damage to his life and his father would…Draco shuddered. Thinking of his father, shouldn't he be receiving his daily letter about now?

As if on cue, the tawny owl that belonged to Lucius dropped a letter in front of Draco and flew back on its journey home. Draco frowned, usually it stayed for breakfast. Shaking his head, he opened the letter, read it and felt his heart sink. This wasn't good.

Draco it read

I have received some interesting evidence that all is not as it seems at Hogwarts. Why are you holding back from your father?

As a result I have contacted Albus Dumbledore and you have been excused for the rest of the week. I expect you at the Manor this evening and you will stay with your mother and I until next Monday.

There's no need to reply, we shall see you tonight.

Regards

Your Father.

Oh No. Thought Draco, this wasn't good at all.

A/N So there you have it - please review :D Much appreciated
