Draco didn't know what he was expecting when he went to dinner. He spent some time thinking about what would happen when he went to the fifth floor. Obviously there would be some sort of sexual activity; Draco just didn't know how far Harry's enthusiasm for it would take them. No matter what happen, he wasn't very interested in being the submissive. While being the receiver sounded like fun in theory, he was more passionate about being the sender. He wanted to see Harry's face when he was inside of him. Draco almost forgot he was in a public place and promptly closed his legs and thought of other things.

He wondered, however, if Harry was thinking of similar things. Every time Draco glanced over at him, he was talking animatedly at his friends. He wondered what made him so happy. If it was his day with Harry or something else; he wondered if other things made him smile like that. Draco could feel a burning in his chest. Even though he knew it was probably all the time they spent together that made Harry smile, Draco couldn't help but feel jealous, especially when he noticed Cho Chang, a member of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team walk up to Harry and start talking to him. Draco glared and stabbed his food the entire time he watched them talk.

Draco lingered behind as a few students began leaving, he even stayed after Harry and his group was long gone. He informed Crabbe and Goyle that he would be in the common room later to help them with their work and that he was going to take a bath. As he walked to the fifth floor, his mind was racing with jealous thoughts of Cho Chang and if he was actual going to go all the way with Harry. He was haven't his doubts. In that moment, guilt rushed to him as well; he still hasn't told Harry the truth about his father's summer escapades.

When he stepped into the perfect's bathroom, he was yanked in by his arm and the door was locked behind him. Harry was completely naked standing in front of him, which caused Draco to cover up his now red cheeks.

"You know. If you got naked too, you wouldn't feel so embarrassed," Harry said. Draco twitched as he heard, splashing of water.

"Surprised is better than embarrassed," Draco responded, uncovering his face. "I didn't expect you to be this bold. You always just seem so…awkward." Draco stared at Harry who was childish playing with the bubbles in the tub. "Innocent is better than awkward."

"I actually think awkward is better. I spent entirely too long deciding if I would do this. It was kind of an out of body experience and I'm surprised I haven't jumped out of the water and gotten dressed yet." Draco stared at Harry for a moment, before stripping his own clothes off and slipping into the tub with him. "That anxiety is coming back up and I might leave."

"Don't." Draco slide over to Harry and placed his head on his damp chest; Harry's entire face was a bright pink as they sat there. "What did you think would happen in here?" Draco asked as he looked up at Harry. Still pink, Harry just awkwardly shrugged and Draco shook his head. "Is anything going on between you and Cho Chang. When I kissed you, you said her name and she came and talked to you today."

"She's just sad since Cedric died and I was the only one there. She just wants closure."

"That's all I wanted to know." Draco took a deep breath and dived under the water. He immediately took Harry's entire penis into his mouth and bobbed his head; he felt Harry squirm as he flicked his tongue around the head. Draco went back up to the surface, still gripping Harry's penis, and took some sharp breaths.

"Why did you stop?"

"Cause I need air, you dumbass." Draco dived back under water and took Harry's penis back into his mouth. In an attempt to speed Harry to an orgasm, he stroked while he sucked hard and bobbed his head; he continued the flicking motion with his tongue. Draco could feel he was choking and pulled himself back to the surface again. This time he was choking and coughing. "I can't do that again. That wasn't a bright idea." Harry lifted himself up on the side of the tub.

"Better?" Draco immediately grabbed Harry again and began stroking. He slid his tongue around the head as he rubbed Harry's balls with his free hand. Harry grunt and arched his back as he reached his orgasm; he covered his mouth to muffle his voice as he moaned Draco's name. Draco released Harry's penis, still flicking the head with his tongue, and pushed Harry onto his back. He spread Harry's legs as wide as they'd go and Harry propped himself up on his elbows. Draco took the head of Harry's penis into his mouth and sucked on it as he prodded his asshole with his finger. Harry bit his hand as Draco pushed a finger into Harry and pushed it in and out; he arched his back and squirmed at Draco's actions. Draco pulled his finger out as Harry orgasms. "That kind of hurt."

"I figured the great Harry Potter would have a higher pain tolerance after all the Triwizard Tournament. Wipe that look off your face, I was joking. Of course, it hurt. It was your first time having anything in your ass, right? Please, it's not like there's some lubricant for it."

"Water isn't good. Or soap."

"Soap would work but not water. Besides, I could probably get something better suited at Hogsmede." Harry slipped back into the water. "Also, I don't think we should do that just yet." Harry just stared blankly at the now red blonde as he sank into the water. "I'm just saying, that's a big deal, you know."

"And this stuff isn't a big deal?"

"I don't know! Just accept this as my answer for what it is ok." Draco took the opportunity to turn his back on Harry and actually bathe himself. Harry swam up behind him and hugged his waist and pulled Draco back.

"Are you afraid that you won't be in control this time?" Draco scoffed and pushed away from Harry. He climbed out of the water and dried himself off.

"I'm always in control. I'll see you later Harry, I promised Crabbe and Goyle homework assistance. And you should get out of here before another prefect catches you." Draco didn't wait for a response; he just walked out of the room. Who does he think he is? Does he really think he has some control over me? I'm the one in control! Harry Potter will not be better than me in this! I will be the one on top!

Draco woke up the next morning after only about an hour of sleep. He spent most of the night angry or thrashing about Harry's comment. Part of him never wanted to speak to Harry again; another was wondering why he was being so petty about a comment that was probably intended to be a joke. It didn't matter, he didn't have to justify this mood, but others have to suffer for it. No one (especially not a Gryffindor) was safe from prefect Draco's wrath; he would give punishment for even the most minor infractions. This continued in the days following.

However, the morning of the first trip to Hogsmede of that year, Draco's owl dropped two letters for him at breakfast. One from his father and one from an unknown sender; who he could only assume was Harry. He chose to open his father's first since he was still bitter about Harry.

'Draco, as you may now know Dolores Umbridge has been Hogwarts High Inquisitor. She is a friend and you shall be on your absolute best behavior. Not only that, but if she ask for your help with anything, and I do mean anything, you are to offer it without hesitation. I better be making myself clear.'

-Your father

Draco had no plans to get himself in trouble with Umbridge, especially if it meant subjecting himself to that awful blood quill. Also, following his father's advice would be a logical move seeing as how the Gryffindors were completely anti Umbridge. Draco carefully peeled the seal off of the other letter.

'Did you want to spend some time together today? I mean I can't hang out for long, but we should still try and see each other. If you want to, you can meet me outside of the Shrieking Shack sometime after 2. If you can't just write a letter back.'

-Harry

Draco stared absentmindedly at the letter for a moment before tucking it and his father's letter away into his robe. He enjoyed his breakfast and went back to his room without incident; he slipped the letters away into his trunk as Crabbe and Goyle talked about what they wanted to do on the trip, which mostly involved tormenting younger students.

"Well, I do hope you have fun with that, but I will take this opportunity to shop a little, also I won't be available after two, so you're free to bother me before that," Draco sighed, fixing his hair in the mirror.

"You've been spending a lot of time by yourself lately. I mean all of Saturday after Quidditch practice and today…."

"That's only two days and don't you think I've earned a little time to myself? I spend time with others that maybe I would like some time for myself. Is that so bad?" Crabbe and Goyle immediately looked between each other before shaking their heads. Draco walked out, hoping his recent tirade was the reason they didn't push any further. He was relieved and took this opportunity to hurry out of the dungeon and into the wave of students leaving before Pansy could corner him next. He was glad to have snuck out with the first wave and into Hogsmede, where he hoped he wouldn't run into just anyone.

Draco poked around in different stores, but didn't really purchase anything; he even went inside Honeydukes despite not being a fan of sweets. He was just buying his time until it was two and he could head to the Shrieking Shack to meet Harry. No one was there as he expected and he stepped up to the building. It hadn't done any "shrieking" since the Sirius Black nonsense back in his third year, but it was still a creepy old building.

"Draco? What are you doing out here?" Draco whipped around to see Pansy walking over to him. Where did she come from? How did she know I'd be here?

"What do you mean 'what am I doing out here'? I'm just looking at the Shrieking Shack. What are you doing out here?"

"Looking for you. Crabbe and Goyle said you were going to be alone after two, but we haven't seen you all day. I thought I'd go looking for you."

"I wanted to be alone." He knew the same intimation he used on Crabbe and Goyle wouldn't work on Pansy; he was trapped there. Pansy walked closer to him and Draco just stepped away.

"No one ever wants to be alone. Especially you, you surrounded yourself with other people so that you don't have to be alone." Draco was very careful to move away from Pansy as she advanced toward him; out of the corner of his eye, he could see Harry coming through the trees. "You've been acting strange lately. Last Saturday, you basically spent the day avoiding us and Crabbe saw you with someone with black hair. If you're … 'seeing' someone, I want to know who she is."

"That's an awful big assumption for wanting to spend one Saturday by myself, isn't it?"

"But it's not just one Saturday! You've been acting weird since the end of last term! You were going off by yourself a lot then! And during the summer, when I came to visit you, your father made it seem like we were dating. At least, that's what he told my mother, but you've told me many a time that we are not dating! And now this term! You've spent more time away from us than normal! So, who is she?" Draco glanced out of the corner of his eye; Harry had retreated back into the woods. "Were you meeting her here?"

"No. I told you, I wasn't meeting anyone here! I was just trying to be alone!"

"Then come back with me!"

"I don't want to! And I'll have you know that you can't make me do anything I don't want! Now why don't you just get lost, I think I'm interested in spending some more time alone!" Pansy didn't say another word; she just stomped away. Harry slipped out of the woods after she was gone. They just stood there staring at each for a moment before Harry stepped closer to Draco.

"I'd ask if you were still mad with me, but I'd assume you're just mad in general."

"Who does she think she is? Demanding me to go with her! Like she owns me!" Harry wrapped his arms around Draco as he ranted. "I can see whoever I damn well please and she can't say or do anything about it! She certainly won't meet them if I don't want her to! I am my own man! She doesn't control me." Harry kissed Draco's temple which surprisingly enough helped calm him down. "I just wish…ugh. Never mind."

"No never mind, I want to hear what you have to say." Draco thought Harry sounded genuinely interested, but turned and kissed him so he wouldn't have to speak. I wish things were different. I wish you wanted to be my friend. I wish you were in Slytherin. I wish we could date in public and not have to worry about reputations. I wish I could openly be with you.

"It was nothing really," Draco said, pulling away and pecking Harry's cheek. "Now what was so important that you had to keep me waiting until two?"

"Just wanted to spend some time with Ron and Hermione is all. But now, it is after two, you've chased off Pansy Parkinson and I am all yours," Harry said, kissing Draco's forehead.

"Good, because I have an interesting request for you. You're good at sneaking into places right?" Draco pointed up at the Shrieking Shack. "I want to go in there."
