Hello my dearest readers!! I apologise, I thought I would have time to update this sooner, but turns out I didn't. Anyway, here is the next chapter!! Oh, and I got the title of this story by a line in a song I love. The song is by HIM (who I am finally going to get to go see in concert!! Woo!!!), and is called, 'Passion's Killing Floor'.

The next couple of weeks went by with the usual happenings.

Harry had not yet forgiven Hermione, and Hermione was being stubborn and not apologising. Ron tended to lean towards Hermione, which gave Harry more time to be with Draco without them noticing he was gone.

Dumbledore had yet figure them out, and Remus was telling him that Harry was just attending classes like a good student.

One Wednesday, when Harry, Hermione and Ron were on their way to Defence Against the Dark Arts, they met up with Draco and his goons.

Draco snarled at them.

"And to what do I owe the please?" He asked sarcastically.

"Shove off Malfoy." Harry said. Harry had a feeling that Draco wasn't alright.

"Shove off what? Your Mum? She seemed to like to have me on top of her." Harry snarled at this comment, but knew what it meant.

He and Draco had a secret code if they ever wanted to talk to each other in the company of those that don't know. Whenever Draco or Harry mentioned ferrets, they would see each other that night. If they mentioned their fathers, they would see each other after the next class, or whenever possible. If they mentioned their mothers, they would see each other immediately.

Talking about the other's mum meant that there was something important they had to say to the other.

"Fuck off Malfoy!" Ron said this time. Draco and his goons laughed but left the three.

"You alright Harry?" Hermione actually asked, forgetting about her current ignoring of him.

"Yeah. Hey, I forgot something in my room. I'll meet you two at Defence." Waved Harry as he left.

Once out of sight, Harry got out his map and found Draco in an empty class room, waiting for him. He made his way there.

"Hey, Draco, you wanted to talk with me?" Harry started. Draco was facing the window. He never answered.

"Draco?" Slowly Draco turned around and Harry saw tears in his eyes.

"Draco? What's wrong?" Harry went over to hug him, but Draco held up his hand.

"No. Don't... Father has told me I am to be married." Harry took in a sharp breath.

"When?" Harry already knew who to. Both Draco and Harry knew that Draco's mother had agreed for him to marry Pansy when they were older. Harry just didn't think it would be so soon.

"These Christmas Holidays." They both just stood there for a second, Draco's tears running freely now.

Harry couldn't stand to see him like that. He closed the distance between the two and gave him a tight hug. Draco collapsed in Harry's embrace.

"No. I won't let it happen."

"Don't you get it? There is no stopping my father! If he wants it, hell everyone wants it, he will get it." Draco sobbed.

"Not if I can help it. Listen. I'll meet you in your room at lunch. Right now we have to get to class." Harry looked Draco in the eyes. "I love you, and I always will."

They kissed and went to class.

That afternoon, Harry made his way to Draco's room. In his fingers he twiddled around a silver dragon ring. Inside the dragon's mouth, was a green stone.

Harry had been planning to give this ring to Draco for a while now, but he had never brought up the courage.

Flashback

Harry was walking around Hogsmade. He wasn't to meet up with Ron or Hermione for another half an hour, so we went exploring. He spotted a jewellery store and decided to go look.

"How may I help you?" The man behind the counter greeted him.

"Just browsing really." Harry told him.

Harry looked around the shop, and that's when he noticed it. It was perfect. Draco would love it!

"How much for the ring?" Harry asked.

"Oh... you have expensive taste. This ring has the special power to make whoever wears it able to tell if their lover is in danger or hurt."

"So, how much is it?" Harry persisted.

"4,300 galleons."

"I'll take it."

End Flashback

"It's now or never." Harry said as he hid the ring in his pocket. He entered Draco's room, to find him sitting at the table, lunch already there. He didn't look up when Harry came in.

"Lunch is ready." He said. Harry took a seat opposite him.

"How have you been?" Harry tried to make small talk because he was uncomfortable with the silence.

"Eh."

Harry sighed. He got up and knelt on one knee in front of Draco. Draco was surprised to say the least.

"I wanted to do this with more of a romantic setting, but this will have to do." Harry reached into his pocket and brought out the ring, "Draconis Lucius Malfoy, will you marry me?"

Draco didn't know what to say! He was not expecting that!

"Yes! Yes, Harry! Yes!" He got up and placed the ring on Draco's finger.

They kissed.

"But wait! What about father! And Pansy! And mother!" Draco exclaimed, "This will never work!"

He slumped back down in his chair and Harry came and sat in his lap.

"No, we will get married without them. They don't need to know."

"But what about Pansy?"

"We will get married before your wedding to Pansy, then, as you go to wait at the altar, I will come forth and we will reveal that we are already married. They will be to dumbfounded to take any action."

Draco considered Harry's thoughts for a moment.

"We will get married before the Christmas holidays, on the day of the Hogsmade trip. You can invite anyone you want."

"Severus. I want to invite Severus, and Blaise."

Harry nodded.

"And I will invite Sirius and Remus. Anyone else?" Draco shook his head, "It's settled then."

The two ate and went to bed, Harry spending the night.

The next day, Harry and Draco met up with Remus and Sirius to tell them the news.

"We are getting married." Harry said. Remus didn't seem too surprised at this, but it came as a shock to Sirius.

"Congratulations." Remus said with a smile.

"We want you two to be there, for the wedding." said Draco.

"We would love to be there. When is it? Who else are you inviting?" Remus asked.

"It's going to be the last trip to hogsmade before the Christmas holidays. We are also going to invite Snape and Blaise."

"Snape! Why would you invite him?" Sirius asked.

"He's my godfather. I trust him, and I know he loves me enough to not tell my father. He has always known that I loved Harry, even when I didn't know it myself. I think he should be there. And Blaise is the only other person that knows about us." Draco told Sirius and Remus.

"Very well then. We wish you the best of luck. You have some planning to do before the big day!"

Harry and Draco smiled.
