Chapter Ten: Roommates and Fights
Written by: Duzen Broken DreamZ

Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny all sat next to each other at their house table. Draco was sitting by himself at one end of the table. All the Slytherins were glaring at him. Draco didn't care; he just stared at Harry while he ate. Harry gave a small smile, and Draco returned it. The new students had already been appointed their houses and Dumbledore had given his heart-felt speech.

"Harry, do you know where Draco is going to stay?" Hermione asked. She looked over at Draco too, with worried eyes.

"No I don't, and I wanted to thank you and Ron for helping him out. He isn't sure which he was scared more by; you two or the Slytherins," Harry gave Hermione a small smile.

"Well, Ron is still unsure about Draco. But it isn't because he's a Slytherin. It's just because he doesn't think he's good enough for you," Hermione sighed.

Harry started to laugh, "Really? Cause I thought it was because I and Draco were gay."

Hermione pursed her lips together and looked down, "That could also be a part of that. See, he wants you and Ginny to be together. On a brighter note, Ginny does seem to be taking lightly to it. Oh, and it is Draco and I; not I and Draco."

Harry rolled his eyes, "Yeah, I know, she and I had a talk after Draco had left. She's cool with it. As a matter of fact, she wants to make sure Draco doesn't break my 'fragile little heart'," Harry then snorted.

"Hey! I am only looking out for you!" Ginny, it seems, had been listening in.

Hermione laughed and then went on to talk to Ginny. Harry looked back over at Draco, who was still looking at him. Harry, not being discreet, gave a huge smile.

Draco's shoulders shook, and Harry realized Draco was laughing. He pointed over behind Harry and Harry looked over his shoulder. He saw nothing. He looked questioningly at Draco and Draco's shoulders shook harder. He then pointed at Harry directly and Harry understood that Draco was just fooling around with Harry.

Harry gave a dramatic sigh at Draco's antics and then smiled.

Dinner went by fast. The house prefects had to take their first years to the common rooms and Snape went with his house; this was to protect Draco and make sure nothing bad happened.

Draco sighed when he was done explaining things to the first years. Snape had taken over to explain the rest.

When Snape was done he called Draco into his private quarters.

"As you may have seen, Draco, your things are here. You won't be staying here, however. You will be staying in the Gryffindor dorms."

"Ugh, well the good thing is that Harry will be there at least!"

"Since when were you and Harry this friendly?" Snape glared at his godson.

"Harry and I are going out, so ha!" Draco said playfully. He knew it would piss Sevvy off, and he also knew Harry didn't want any more people knowing, but he couldn't help it. He was happy.

Snape's eyes got eerily wide and then went back to their cold gaze. "Dumbledore will be here to get you shortly. A house-elf will bring your things up."

Just after he said that, a house-elf appeared and the disappeared with Draco's things. Dumbledore then, without knocking, walked in.

"Mr. Malfoy, if you will follow me," Dumbledore spoke lightly, eyes shining in a smile.

Draco nodded and followed the headmaster.

"Draco, for now, you will have to sleep in the same dorms as the rest of Gryffindor. I am going to make a separate room later in the week for you inside Gryffindor's common room. If there is any trouble, which I am expecting to be, let me, Professor Snape, or Professor McGonagall know right away so matters can be dealt with."

Once they entered the Gryffindor common room, many heads turned around and glared at Draco.

"What's he doing in here?!" A kid from seventh year shouted. Many shouted similar things.

Dumbledore frowned and held a hand up, "Quiet all of you! Mister Draco Malfoy will be spending the school year in here. You will treat him with respect and I hope you all can get past old grudges. Harry, will you show Draco to the dorms?"

Draco smiled when Harry happily got up. Many gasped when Harry walked peacefully with his supposed enemy. They were both smiling! What was going on?

Ron pursed his lips together but didn't say anything, and Hermione smiled with Ginny. Dean, Neville, and Seamus all had similar faces of 'hell no-we are not sleeping with him!'

"I can't wait Harry!" Draco said excitedly inside the room.

"Wait for what?"

"Dumbledore said that I will be getting my own room in the common room for me to sleep in by the end of this week! Do you know what this means?! You and I can get a lot of private time together!" Draco had an uncharacteristic smile on his face; he was glowing.

"Really; that is cool, Draco!" Harry gave his lover a hug and a small peck on the cheek.

"Ahem," a voice from the door.

Both boys parted away from each other only to see that it was just Ron in the doorway. "You both are lucky that it was just me and not anyone else," he was grumpy.

"Ron, don't worry. Draco is going to get his own room at the end of the week in the common room. So he won't be in here that long," Harry gave a pointed look. Draco let out a small laugh; he was still excited, not even Ron could take him down.

"Yeah, well still, don't be doing nothing," Ron then walked out.

Draco sniffed and then looked at Harry with another smile.

"I don't think I care anymore if people know. I mean, my best friends and most of my make-shift family know too… So I mean, I don't see why people can't know. That was the only reason why I didn't want to be out…" Harry smiled when Draco's smile got impossibly bigger.

Draco practically jumped on Harry, and Harry pushed Draco onto his bed. He then crawled on top and started to kiss Draco senseless. Draco moaned and wrapped his arms around Harry's neck. Harry then dipped his head down into Draco's neck and started nipping at the now exposed flesh. Harry swept his tongue over said bitten area and Draco's body arched upwards. Harry let out a throaty groan. "Draco…" Harry whimpered out. They were clothed (again) and thrusting at each other.

Harry brought his mouth back onto Draco's and they both moaned into the kiss. Harry pulled away, much to his and Draco's displeasure, and sighed. "What's wrong?" Draco asked. He was still slightly lusty. "Even though I don't mind telling my friends that you and I are boyfriends, I don't want them to find out like this."

Draco sighed and let out a small growl of frustration before completely pushing Harry off of him. "Sorry…" Harry feebly tried to apologize.

"Can't you just tell them now so we can do what we want?" Draco pleaded. He wanted to be able to give heated kisses to his lover without there being problems.

"I'll tell them when the time is right…" Harry then moved over to Draco and pulled the blonde into an embrace. Draco relaxed in Harry's arms and rested his head on his shoulder.

"I just think that we should do what I wanted and just do our stuff and not answer anyone," Draco yawned.

When the boys of that dorm walked in, Harry and Draco were still holding each other.

"Whoa, Harry! What are you doing with Draco?!" Dean asked, even though it was obvious. It seemed as if Neville, Dean, and Seamus were all scandalized when they walked in and saw the two boys together.

"Harry, really, what's going on?" Neville meekly asked.

All of them were wide eyed, and the three boys not in question looked over at Ron, who looked just as uncomfortable as Harry was.

"Well, uh, guys… I didn't want you to find out like this…" Harry couldn't look at any of them in the eyes. He was fidgeting horribly and he unconsciously pulled Draco in further.

"Harry and I are together," Draco stated simply while loosening the embrace just so he could sling his arm around Harry's slim waist.

"Draco!" Harry uncomfortably whispered. He glared at the Slytherin and looked fearfully back up. Neville's eyebrows were up, while Dean had a small smile. Seamus, however, made a disgusted face that had been similar to Ron's and walked out of the room.

Draco had a smug smirk while pulling Harry more into him and giving eyes that said 'MINE!'

"Um, congratulations…?" Neville shrugged hesitantly before going towards his bed. Dean let out a nervous snicker before mimicking Neville's actions.

Draco, seeing as how the shock was over, shoved Harry playfully onto Harry's (their) bed and then toppled over onto Harry. Ron was still standing in his spot watching the two blankly. He then turned around and decided to sit in a chair on the opposite side of the room.

Draco slid on top of Harry and smirked into a kiss. They had a heated make-out session, which Harry at first was very nervous about.

A little while later, Seamus came back into the room. Things were tense amongst the teens, excluding Draco. He was doing just fine. He had his back against the headboard of Harry's bed, with Harry in his arms. He lay with Harry, stroking his soft, untamed dark hair gently. No one spoke, however.

Seamus was slamming his trunk shut and stomping around the room to clearly show how 'thrilled' he was. Every so often he'd glare at the lovers. He just couldn't believe that one of his friends went that way. Seamus looked over at Ron sitting in the chair; he looked glum. He too, would glance over at Draco and Harry, contempt in his eyes.

Harry was starting to get really mad at Seamus's behavior. The stomping around was childish to him and it only reminded him of summer. Harry decided that he had enough, "Seamus, stop stomping around for fuck's sake! I had to deal with immature antics this summer and I don't want to deal with it now during school! Who cares if you don't like Draco? If it means anything to you, Draco won't be staying in the dorms for much longer; he is getting his own room soon. So JUST STOP STOMPING ALREADY!" Harry yelled.

Seamus huffed; unaware Ron was standing up, and said "I don't feel like having death eater scum sleeping in the same room as me. I also don't feel like sharing a room with a couple of fagg-…" Seamus's sentence was cut short when Ron punched his face. Blood splattered and Seamus sputtered. Blood coughed up and spilled out of his mouth and nose; gushing.

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" Ron was an angry red and anger veins showed on his face.

Everything immediately became quiet. Seamus was cupping his face and a crimson pool started to overflow out of his hands. Seamus, in shock, slowly moved his hands away from his face. He feared to look down, but did so anyway. When he saw all the blood he took a sharp intake of breath and coughed when he choked on his blood.

Dean went over to the bleeding boy, "Here, come on Seamus, we need to get you to the infirmary." Seamus with the help of Dean clumsily got up. He was shaking all over.

Neville stared at Ron in horror and slowly exited the room.

Draco couldn't help it and burst out laughing. He never expected the Gryffindors to act like this.

Ron stared menacingly at Draco, "Shut up Malfoy before I kick your fucking face in. This is ALL YOUR FAULT! You're scum and disgusting and I swear to god that if you hurt Harry, or if Harry loses any more friends because of you, I will kill you," Ron then looked at Harry with cold, pleading eyes, "Why can't you and Malfoy just stop whatever the hell you call yourselves? Save everyone and yourself the trouble of losing friends?!"

"Why don't you just shut up Ron?" Harry had tears in his eyes, "I don't care! I am with Draco, just get over it!" Harry frowned and several tears slipped; when Draco noticed this, he became beyond mad.

"Weasley, I am not about to go back into a closet just because you and Seamus can't get over yourselves. Harry shouldn't have to either! Just get over the fact that Harry and I are in a relation-…" Draco was interrupted, "Don't you dare finish that sentence Malfoy! Being in a relationship means you actually care about that person! You don't care about Harry! You two don't have a relationship; it's blasphemous!"

"Oh, wow, big word for you Ron!" Draco shot back. He was red in the face. Harry was shaking with tears in Draco's arms, and Draco for what seemed like only once in his life, had tears rimming his own eyes, "Don't you dare say that I don't care about Harry! If I didn't care, then I wouldn't bother arguing with you! If you at all cared, then you'd respect his wishes to try to be nice. Obviously it's not only money you lack but decency!"

Ron's rage was clearly visible. He pushed his head to the side until they all heard a crack, and then he turned it the other way too. He took in deep breaths and if he got any madder, the vein in his forehead would surely pop.

"Ron… please calm down! Draco, please… apologize to him!" Harry pleaded. Ron was his first friend ever, and he didn't want to lose him again. But he didn't want to lose Draco either.

"I'm not saying sorry at all Harry," Draco bit out.

"Draco, I think that you should… I think that you should go to Professor Snape's quarters and stay there for the night," Harry whispered. He looked pleadingly at Draco, and regretted it. There was obvious hurt in Draco's eyes and his voice betrayed him, "F-fine, I will go, Potter."

Draco rudely shoved a crying Harry off him and with one last glance he left the room.

Harry sniffed and looked at the door, and then at Ron who looked like he won, "Ron, don't talk to me." Harry then shut the drapes that hung over his bed and spelled them shut. The beginning of his sixth year started, and was supposed to have been better. He thought Ron was starting to accept Draco, but was wrong. He thought Draco and he were going to have a nice relationship, and he also thought the rest of his friends would have taken the news better. He was wrong about that too.

Draco left the Gryffindor common room in a hurry. He blinked back tears and he carefully placed his cold-hearted mask on his face. A scowl came about and anyone that he saw in the hallways he'd snap at.

Once he reached the dungeons, he began to get nervous. In all his anger and upset, he'd forgotten that the Slytherins weren't in his favor anymore. But he still continued to march on to Snape's room.

Thankfully, he didn't have any run-ins. And when Snape opened up the door and saw Draco, he immediately knew that Gryffindor hadn't been kind like Dumbledore assured Snape.

"I need to stay here for the night," was all Draco said before the doors shut.

Hey guys! Here is the drama filled chapter that everyone has been waiting for! Up next is... I'M NOT TELLING!

hahaha you're just going to have to wait!
