Slash- Chp. 7

Princess Bemidia

Summary: The last chapter! Yay! Sorry this took so long I've had a bad case of writer's block and couldn't write.

Dumbledore turned to the others. "Search the castle for Harry. If you find him lock him in a room somewhere. Everyone meet in the Great Hall when you're done." They left Dumbledore's office and headed towards different parts of the castle.

45 minutes later they were in the Great Hall, shaking their heads. None of them had found Harry. They were praying that he was in Hogsmeade and not with Voldemort.

Voldemort walked into the room with 4 Death Eaters. He was laughing like a maniac on drugs. He stopped short and looked around the room. "Where's Harry?" He raised his wand threateningly.

(A/N: This is where I leave off. It's a do-it-yourself ending. Pick your favorite person out of: Snape, Dumbledore, Sirius, Lucius, McGonagall, or Sprout, then make that person kill Voldie cause I'm completely lost on how to do that.)

*Meanwhile in a galaxy far, far aw-! (Coughs) Sorry wrong fic. *

*Meanwhile in the Shrieking Shack*

Harry walked into the redecorated living room. He was so lost in his own memories to notice the muffled sounds of footsteps behind him.

"Excuse me…" Draco turned to leave the room.

Harry snapped out of his reverie and turned. "We need to talk Draco."

"What's to talk about?" Draco turned back but avoided Harry's eyes. "I dumped you… End of story."

"Really?" Harry's eyes clearly said that he wasn't buying a word Draco said. "Why did you dump me in the first place? Too much pressure? Was it getting a little too serious for you? Because it sure as hell wasn't a trick to see how gullible I was."

"Drop it Potter." Draco looked at the floor.

"Why Draco?" Harry mentally winced at Draco's use of his last name. "I've spent the last couple weeks crying my eyes out because of you, so I'd like an answer."

Draco glanced at Harry. "I… Just leave me alone Harry…" He looked back down at the floor.

Harry walked over to Draco. He tilted Draco's face upward so he could look in his eyes. With his free hand he reached up and moved a stray hair out of Draco's eyes. "Please tell me…"

"It's just that…" Draco closed his eyes and a single tear escaped. Harry lowered his head and kissed the rear away. Draco's eyes flew open on the gentle contact. He couldn't understand how the other boy could look at him after everything he did to him. "Harry…"

Harry smiled slightly. "Tell me…"

Draco looked at the floor again. "Everything was moving too fast I guess… I was jealous too… You being the 'boy-who-lived' and all…"

Harry rolled his eyes. "I never asked to be the 'boy-who-lived' Draco. I merely wanted a normal life."

Draco looked back up at Harry. "I know, but you're so famous… I've been competing against you for fame since we first met… Then I wake up one morning and I realized I'm not fighting anymore and I got scared…"

Harry's eyes looked surprised. "That's what this was about? Me being famous? I'd give it all up in an instant if I could."

Draco's eyes narrowed. "Would you?" He looked like he didn't believe Harry.

"In a heartbeat. I never asked for fame. Sure I wanted to get away from my Aunt and Uncle's house, but I never wanted to have everybody know my name…" Harry smiled at Draco.

Draco slipped his arms around Harry's waist. "I'm sorry…"

"I know…" Harry kissed Draco on his lips. "Just promise me this will never happen again."

"I promise…" Draco sighed and leaned his head on Harry's shoulder.

"We should go back…" Harry looked down at Draco.

"Can we keep this between ourselves for now?" Draco smiled at Harry.

"Why?" Harry was sure Draco was planning something.

"Just because…" Draco was already forming the perfect way let everybody else know they were back together.

"Sure…" Harry rolled his eyes. "Come on…" He led Draco back up to the castle, the entire time pretending to glare at him. When he entered the castle he notice all the kids were being told to go to their common rooms.

McGonagall rushed over to him. "Potter where have you been?"

"I was in the shrieking shack… Why?" Harry looked confused.

"Never mind… Go up to the headmaster's office and take Malfoy with you." McGonagall sighed as she headed off to yell at some kids.

Harry and Draco looked at each other. Draco shrugged lets go see what's going on…" They headed up the stairs and Harry stopped Draco. He leaned down and kissed him again.

"What was that for?" Draco looked happy, but surprised.

"I figured I might not be able to do that for a while…" Harry smirked.

Draco heard the door up the stairs open, he pulled away from Harry, and took out his wand. "Why I oughta-!"

"Mr. Malfoy that will be enough." Dumbledore appeared at the foot of the stairs.

"Potter started it!" Draco scowled at Harry.

"Alright Mr. Malfoy… Go into the office." Dumbledore moved so they could go up the stairs.

Draco pouted and followed Harry up the stairs. Harry had to work hard not to laugh. He reached the door and walked in. He was immediately pounced on by Hermione. "Thank god you're alive!"

Harry looked confused. "What?" He pushed Hermione back slightly and stared around the room. "What's going on here?"

Sirius sighed. "Voldemort was in the castle. We were afraid he had killed you…"

"Voldemort WAS in the castle? What do you mean was?" Harry's eyebrows furrowed. "He didn't escape did he?"

"No he was killed." Dumbledore smiled as he sat back behind his desk.

Draco's eyes widened. "BY WHO?!"

"We don't quite know Draco… There was a lot of smoke and confusion." Lucius smiled. "Whoever killed him did quite a number on him… He was unrecognizable afterward!"

Sirius looked shocked. "I highly doubt he needed to know that!"

Lucius shrugged. "At least I don't go around telling people details of our love life!"

Sirius blushed. "That was a long time ago!"

"I talked to Arabella Figg yesterday and she told me you told her all the wonderful little details…" Lucius raised his eyebrows.

Sirius looked at the floor. "Well I didn't tell her everything…"

Everyone was having a hard time not laughing at the couple, except of course Snape who rolled his eyes and shook his head. Harry looked at Dumbledore and changed the subject. "We going to have a feast?"

"Don't we always?" Draco rolled his eyes at Harry.

Lucius narrowed his eyes at his son. "Draco…"

Draco rolled his eyes again. Harry on the other hand gave Draco a death glare. "Can I leave now?"

Dumbledore nodded and Harry quickly left the room. Dumbledore looked at Draco. "What happened before I came downstairs?"

"It was nothing sir…" Draco shook his head and followed Harry. He met up with him down the hall and burst out laughing. "I always did love fooling people."

Harry smiled. "How about we pull off a fight in the common room?" His eyes took a scheming gleam.

"Okay…" Draco smiled too. "What do you want to fight about?"

"How about you breaking up with me?" Harry smiled slyly.

"You're planning something… What is it?" Draco was suddenly very interested about the gleam in Harry's eyes.

"I have to leave the fight first though… I found a secret, soundproof room in the boys dorms…" Harry smiled even more and Draco looked like he had just won the lottery.

"That's quite okay with me. How are we going to do this?"

"You go in first. I'll come in 10 minutes later and you get up and try to leave the room. We make it up from there?"

"Fine with me."

Sure enough Draco went in first. Ten minutes later Harry followed with a scowl on his face. Draco got up to leave the room glaring at Harry. Harry glared at Draco. "Where you going Malfoy? Afraid to face me?"

Draco turned and looked at Harry. "Me afraid to face you? Never Potter!" He smiled inwardly. "I just don't want to see you break down crying like the baby you are. It's annoying."

Harry looked like he wanted to kill Draco. The entire room had fallen silent. "Right Malfoy. You're just scared the truth's going to come out. You dumped me because you got scared. I'm right and you know it!"

Draco's eyes shot daggers at Harry. "You just can't accept the truth can you? I wanted to get under your skin to see how you react. I must admit it worked very well."

"Ha. Ha. Ha. Very funny. It's amazing how well you lie! Ever thought of becoming an actor?"

"Shut up Potter! You're just mad because I dumped you!"

"Yeah and hell has frozen over. Face it Malfoy you got scared." Harry smirked and left the room.

Draco glared at the steps for a moment. He then went up the stairs. Hermione looked at Ron. "Should you follow them?"

"Nah only if you hear screaming…"

*Upstairs*

Harry locked the door to the secret room and laughed. "That was priceless!"

Draco smirked. "Did you see the looks on everyone's faces? They thought we were going to kill each other right there…" He looked around. "Are you sure this room is soundproof?"

"Positive. Came in here one night and screamed at the top of my lungs… No one heard me."

[Insert juicy citrus here.]

***Two Hours Later***

"Will all students report to the Great Hall immediately, and wear your best dress robes." Dumbledore's voice came over the magical intercom yet again.

Draco pulled on his shirt. "What the hell does the does the old geezer want now?"

Harry rolled his eyes, and retrieved his pants from the bed. "We're probably having the feast now…"

Draco smiled at Harry. "Oh well… We were having so much fun too…"

Harry smiled slyly. "We'll come back tonight. But now we have to go pretend to hate each other." He frowned slightly.

Draco kissed him lightly. "See you in a couple hours." He left Harry standing there with only his pants on.

Harry changed quickly and headed to the Great Hall. He walked in and looked around. It looked like it had during the Yule Ball. He got a seat where he could easily see Draco. Ron and Hermione came in a few minutes later and asked him if he was okay. Harry nodded and told them to sit down.

Dumbledore stood up as the last student came in. "We are having yet another party this year. This time for something that all of us can relate to. Voldemort was killed today in this school. We're not sure who killed him, but we are positive that he is dead this time. Now everyone dig in and have fun. Oh yes… The Weird Sisters will being playing the music tonight." There was much cheering and clapping.

Everything went fine… A lot of people started dancing including Ron and Hermione. Draco walked over to Harry. "Wanna dance?"

Harry looked very confused. "What happened to not letting anyone know we made up?"

"And pass up a chance like this? Never…" Draco smirked. "You coming or what?"

Harry stood up, drawing a couple people's attention to him, and took Draco's hand. "Fine. Plus we get to see everyone's reaction…" Draco led him to the dance floor. Harry wrapped his arms around Draco's waist and murmurs spread around the room.

Dumbledore, Sirius and Lucius all looked at each other in surprise. Sirius' eyes widened. "When did they make up?" Lucius and Dumbledore shrugged in reply and watched the two boys as they danced.

The song went on for 5 minutes, when it had finished everyone stopped dancing and stared at the boys. Neither Draco nor Harry noticed and kept their eyes locked on each other. Harry leaned down and kissed Draco on the lips.

***Epilogue***

Draco kissed Harry as they cut the cake. He leaned over to Harry. "I love you Mr. Harry Malfoy-Potter…"

"I love you too Draco Malfoy-Potter."
