Chapter 6

Draco looked at Harry with shock on his face. Did the boy in front of him seriously just ask what he thought? The Slytherin's heart fluttered in his chest and took a breath to tell Harry what he felt, but the Gryffindor took the silence the wrong way. He roughly pushed Draco away, heading toward the door. "I knew this would happen! I shouldn't have even said anything!" He yelled out starting to walk faster feeling the pain grip his chest.

Hearing Harry's hurt voice made Draco snapped out of his silence and rushed to get up. He grabbed Harry's slim wrist before pulling him into his arms. He held on tightly as Harry struggled to get away. "Let go you git! I don't want to talk to you anymore!" A tremor in Harry's voice made it obvious that he was about to cry which only made Draco hold on tighter.

"Harry you took my silence the wrong way." The blond spoke quietly but sincerely. Just as Harry was about to deny everything again and go into another fit, Draco interrupted him. "Harry, just listen please! You took my silence the wrong way. I was just shocked that you would ask me that and I was about to tell you yes when you started to storm out." Harry stopped struggling and looked up into Draco's stormy grey eyes with an unbelieving, tear filled look.

"Stop messing around Draco! You're not serious…are you?" Harry still had a disbelieving look in his eyes; but deep down, Draco could see that spark of hope which caused him to smile kindly. The pale-skinned boy leaned in to kiss Harry, chuckling softly.

"Does it look like I'm kidding around Potter?" Draco said in his usual haughty tone. Harry was just about to reply when his lips were captured in another tender, spine tingling kiss. After a few moments they pulled away smiling at each other; then Draco's face fell and he became a few shades paler. He saw the worried look Harry gave him and swallowed loudly, "W-we can't tell very many people about this Harry. Not because I don't want them to know, but because He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named would kill me. He's not so big on sharing if you haven't noticed." Draco looked away as he said the last sentence, his own heart starting to tighten at the thought of losing to Voldemort just for being with the person he cared for. Harry nodded sadly and hugged Draco gently.

"I don't mind not telling many Draco. I'd rather have you than not at all." Draco looked back to Harry, smiled gently and looked towards the door only to see that it was almost time for dinner. Harry noticed too and started to walk toward the door to leave first.

"Harry wait!" Draco called out. Harry turned around to see the Slytherin shyly walk up to him and hand him his invisibility cloak. "I know it was my fault for you getting your arse handed to you because…I was there. I-I saw everything." Draco mumbled and looked down at his now empty hands since Harry took his cloak back. Harry's face went beet red and he punched Draco in the jaw. Hard. Draco's eyes shot up to Harry's and saw the anger placed clearly across his face.

"That, is for not doing anything to stop them and for spying on me while I was having my…private time!" Harry grit out, but then softened up slightly and looked at Draco tenderly before leaning in to kiss the spot on his jaw where the raven-haired boy had punched him. "That's a 'sorry for punching you' as well as an 'I'll see you here tomorrow after lunch'." Harry smiled at Draco before undoing all the charms and walking out of the room. Draco touched the spot his new lover had kissed him while staring at the door he just walked out of. He sighed gently, turned toward the piano and covered it back up. His feet made no sound while walking toward one of the large windows with the charm still on his feet and looked out the window in time to see Harry running to catch up with his two friends. Draco couldn't help but smile as the bushy-headed girl leapt onto his Harry. He could tell Harry told them by the look on all their faces. Harry was blushing but smiling sheepishly, the Mud-blood was jumping around happily, and Weasel had a huge smile plastered on his freckled face. Draco shook his head happily while turning around to walk out of the old room, before coming face to face with Crabbe and Goyle.

"Draco…we saw you and Potter…" Goyle said hesitantly and looked at their leader nervously.

"Yeah? What of it?" Draco asked dismissively as he walked passed his goons and headed toward the door. The two boys followed not far behind and looked at each other nervously.

"You know you won't be able to continue with that relationship Draco. Not with you being promised to Pansy." Crabbe said a little haughtily, making Draco turned around, his eyes aflame with rage.

"Don't you dare tell me what I'm already obligated to Vincent! Pansy can kiss my bloody arse for all I care! I'll bloody well continue whatever relationship I want whether it is with Harry bloody Potter or Dumbledore! You can go blow a hippogriff if you think you're going to stop me!" Draco snapped at Crabbe, poking him in the chest with each sentence. Crabbe and Goyle looked shocked Draco quickly tired of standing there and started to walk away. "Don't even think of following me. I'm not in the mood to deal with you anymore today." With that last sentence, Draco stormed out and that was the last the two boys saw of him for the rest of the day.

The next day came around with Draco waiting in the old music room after lunch, but Harry was running late. Draco shrugged and waited a while longer. That while longer turned into an hour and just as Draco was getting ready to leave, Harry stumbled in hiding his face from the blond. "What the hell Potter why are you so late, besides your usual tardiness of course?" Draco said with a little smirk.

"I got held up, sorry." Harry mumbled softly and limped over to the piano bench before sitting down. Draco looked suspiciously at the Gryffindor and looked over his frame. His eyes widened slightly as he realized Harry's clothes were dirty and tore in a few places. Draco walked over to Harry still giving him a worried look.

"Harry, what really happened?" Draco asked as he placed his hand on Harry's shoulder. Harry flinched and scooted away, shaking his head.

"I-It's really n-nothing Draco." Harry began trembling and Draco felt unease build in his gut.

"Look at me Harry." Draco said sternly. Harry shook his head and scooted as far to the end of the bench as possible to evade Draco's order. Draco growled slightly. "Harry look at me, now." Harry looked up at Draco suddenly at hearing his commanding voice and flinched again as Draco gasped. Harry's left eye was black, almost completely swollen, blood was trickled down from a gash on his forehead. His nose slightly bent and his bottom lip swollen on the right side with dried blood staining down his chin. Draco began to tremble slightly as he vanished Harry's shirt to see what else had been done to his Harry's body.

"What the hell Malfoy! Charm my shirt back on!" Harry shouted with his eyes tearing up and starting to shiver with fear. There was another bruise on his side that was completely black and bruised rings around his wrists, but that's not what got Draco worked up the most. There just on the tanned boy's shoulders were forming bruises in the shape of hands. Draco gently wrapped his hands around Harry's biceps and stood him up, noticing there wasn't a button on the other boy's trousers. When Draco turned Harry around, his eyes stung with tears of anger and his stomach turned at the next sight in front of him. There were more hand-print forming bruises, and tons of nail gashes down his back that were still bleeding while few were dried.

"W-what else happened Harry?" Draco stuttered afraid to hear of what could have happened next. The question made Harry shake even more, as he clenched his fists nervously.

"I-I don't want to say Draco…please don't make me say it." Harry's voice cracked while his eyes welled up with tears once again.

"Harry you need to or else I'll vanish the rest of your clothes and find out for myself. I don't want to have to make you do this, but I need to know Harry." Draco sighed and saw as Harry froze in fear. After a few seconds Harry took a shaky breath and started to tremble again.

"I-I was walking out of the Great Hall heading to meet you. I turned around the first corridor, Seamus and Cormac pulled me into an empty room. Dean said he gave me that chance to go back to women, but since I didn't a-and chose you, he was going to show me how homos do it." Harry took a deep breath as the tears finally began to fall from his eyes down his cheeks. "Seamus and Cormac held me down. Then my clothes we gone and he started hitting me in the face and he kicked my side. T-they turned me over and Dean u-un-did his pants and shoved h-his..into my mouth. Then…I screamed, I screamed for him to stop, for someone to help me but no one came. I could feel the blood on my thighs. It hurt so much Draco…He wouldn't stop. I lost my glasses and my face hurt from being smashed into the floor. H-he said he'd ruin me for you. Th-tha-at I would be filth when you looked at me. Said you wouldn't want to touch me after he…" Harry wiped at his eyes and Draco softly wrapped his arms around the smaller Gryffindor. "H-he finished on my back. I prayed it was over. I thought it was too but then… Seamus and Cormac…followed. They left me laying there after they took pictures. They promised you would find out. I spelled my clothes on and came here to find you to make sure…they didn't…"

Draco stared at Harry for a moment before charming all of his clothes back onto him. Draco then led the other boy to Madam Pomfrey, told her he would explain later and looked at Harry seriously. "I'll come back to see you in a little bit Harry. I'm going to take care of some business." Harry looked at Draco worriedly but Draco just grinned mischievously back. "Don't worry Harry it'll be okay. All I'm going to do is teach those worthless worms their places in this school." Without another word Draco walked out of the Hospital wing looking outwardly calm, but a raging storm lurking right underneath his façade. Those scum would pay for what they did to his Harry, and he would make sure they got exactly what was coming to them.
