An: hope that everyone had a great x-mas…!! And here comes chapter 10

"Harry, you need to get up." Hermione screamed panic streaming into her voice.

"Harry, GET UP!" Hermione screamed at him again. She fell down on her knees, falling next to the boy she was screaming at.

"Harry, please." She whispered to him. "You are our only hope, the world counts on you." She took a deep breath, and then whispered to him: "And if you don't, do you think he'll forgive Lucius for betraying him, do you think he will forgive Draco?"

The boy who previously had lied down on the ground, his eyes opened when Hermione whispered this to him. Looking her in her eyes, he saw the fear in her eyes. With a lot of effort he lifted himself up and stood with both of his feet on the ground again. He looked at Hermione who smiled softly at him. He smiled back and turned his back to the almost woman. He walked away from him and to the place his worst enemy stood, the man who wanted him dead.

"I never thought you'd be up for round 2, I guess you are stronger than I anticipated." His enemy said.

"I'd rather not have you calling this round 2." Harry said back.

"How about I call it the round where I killed the golden boy and took back the world." He said with a smile on his face.

"You really have an attitude problem." Harry said. His enemy still stood there smiling at him. He wondered when he was planning on attacking him.

Then he saw dark spots in front of his eyes again and slowly all he could see was black. Again the whispering came closer and closer to him. Just when he finally thought they went away he could hear a voice saying loud and clear: "Avada Ked..." His eyes no longer saw black, just a green light flashing.

"Harry?! Harry?!" "HARRY?"

Harry opened his eyes, to find himself lying in his bed. He looked to his right and saw Draco sitting up in bed, looking at him worryingly. He shook his head and turned to Draco.

"What?"

"I don't mind lying here with you, but if it's okay I'd rather live a little longer." Draco said.

"What…what do you mean?" Harry asked, still confused and sleepy.

"Harry, you're holding your wand and you were about to say the killing curse." Draco said, now looking really worried at him.

Harry looked at his left hand and indeed found there his wand. He sighed deep and looked at Draco.

"I'm sorry okay, my dreams are just more real than other people's dreams." Harry said to Draco, trying to reassure him that he was not trying to kill him

Draco looked at him for a little while, shook his head and turned around, lying down on the bed again. Harry turned to him and placed his hand on his hips, he moved in closer and lied down on the bed as well. Not long after that he fell asleep.

The next morning he woke up to find an empty spot next to him in the bed. He wondered where Draco had gone to, and then realized that it was his mother that convinced him that he and Draco should be together, he had probably changed his mind about it. He sighed and decided that he couldn't help it if Draco didn't want to be with him. It wasn't like he wasn't expecting this. He threw his covers back and took a moment to look at the spot Draco lied last night. Then he pulled himself together and got up out of bed. He talked towards the bathroom which was only a door away from his room.

When he opened the bathroom door, he found that the bathroom was already occupied. He was ready to sneak out of there when Draco's head appeared from behind the bathroom curtain.

"Please make up your mind." He said. Harry had no clue what that was supposed to mean, and that led to a confused look on his face.

"About?" He asked.

"To come in or to go out again. Because it's really cold when you leave that door open." Draco replied.

"That depends, do you regret what we did yesterday or not?" Harry asked. Draco realized that Harry was serious now and took the smile of his face.

"I'm not my father, I don't do regrets." Draco said. "No one more time, in or out, because really one's ass could freeze off here." Harry smiled at this comment and stepped into the bathroom, closing the door behind him. This earning him a "Thank you" from Draco.

He undressed himself, Draco's eyes never leaving his body. And stepped in the shower when Draco held the curtain open for him. For a second he just stood there, looking at the blond in front of him. Obviously he had no regrets about last night, Harry thought. Draco put his hands on Harry's hips and pulled him closer to him. Draco closed the distance between them and kissed Harry passionately. After a little while Harry pulled back. This made Draco look at him, fearing that something was wrong.

"I was just wondering about something." Harry said.

"Nothing bad I hope." Draco replied, he face looking devastated already. Harry smiled at the boy, kissed him softly and shook his head.

"Before I go on, I just need you to know that I have wanted you for a long time, and there is no way I'm breaking up with you or anything." Harry said, and then turned slightly red. "Not that I thought we were together, but you know…if we were together then I wouldn't and uhh…" Harry stopped talking, knowing fully well that everything he said was only making it worse.

"Unlike the rumors about me, I don't have sex with anybody. So if it's up to me, then we are together, and I'm glad you're not breaking up with me." Harry smiled. "Now, you wanted to tell me something?"

"Yeah, I overheard your mother and father talking."

"You overhear a lot of things." Draco said.

"Yeah, it's my gift." He said sarcastically. "But they were talking about us I guess. Your father thanked your mother for talking you into something. Me?" Harry asked.

"Harry, could you let these conspiracy theories go?" Draco asked. "I mean, yes I talked with my mother about you before I came here last night. But I only talked about how much I liked you. And that it complicated things. The only thing she talked me into was letting go of complications. Do you really think I'm the person that can be persuade that easily?" His face was looking almost disappointed.

"Okay, I guess I do trust you…so fine I'll let the conspiracy theories go."

"Thank you."

"Just one last question." Harry said.

"Don't." Draco said, looking fierce.

"Do you know what your father is up to?" Harry asked.

"I said don't!" Draco yelled at him, and stormed out of the shower. Harry sighed, he had never been good with letting things go. He always needed to get to the bottom of things, and once again it had ruined something good for him. He sighed again for the hundredth time today and walked out of the shower as well. He dried himself off and then walked to his room. He sat on his bed and wondered what he was supposed to do now.

After lying there for a little while his mind had finally gotten back to him, he needed to go apologize to Draco. The only difficulty was he had no idea where Draco's room was. The only thing he knew, was that when they came in through the front door, Draco would always go the other way then Harry would. So Harry walked to the front door and then walked the other hall in. That led to a staircase. He walked up the stairs and then saw three different halls. He sighed and did the only thing he had left to do. He called an house elf.

"What can I do for you?" the always happy looking house elf in front of him asked.

"I need to find Draco's room." Harry replied.

The house elf said nothing back to him, he just nodded and walked into the left hall of the three. Harry followed him, which was hard to do, because the house elf walked really fast. After that hall, they walked down a small stairs, into another hall, up an even tinier staircase and finally through a gigantic room. Then there was just one more hall left and then to the right was the room where the house elf stopped.

"Thank you." Harry said. "I had no idea the house was this big, I was just happy to be able to find my own room without any real troubles."

"Of course master, however, for a person who knows his way around you seem to wander a lot." The house elf said. And after that he did the most miraculous thing Harry had ever see a house elf do. The house elf had just insulted Harry, but he made no effort to speed off and go punish himself.

"Hermione would like you." Harry said to him.

"I'm sure." The house elf replied. "Is there anything else?"

"No, that's all." Before Harry was done saying it, the house elf had disappeared again. Harry defiantly liked Dobby better.

He knocked on the door he was standing in front and walked in when he heard nothing. He walked into a room which looked a lot like his, only different colors and the bed stood on the other side. And on that bed was Draco lying. He made no effort to stand up and speak to Harry so Harry walked to the bed and lied down next to Draco.

"I'm sorry, but before you decide if you want to be with me, you need to know that I'm gonna screw up a lot. Really a lot, it's one of my other gifts. And while I'm off screwing up, and apologizing afterwards, you need to find it in your heart to forgive me." Harry stopped talking for a second, and saw the blond looking at him. "You think that's something you can do?"

For a few seconds it was quite on Draco's end. Then he asked: "How much is screwing up a lot?"

"Once every week is the average I believe."

"As long as screwing up doesn't mean screwing someone else, I guess I can live with that." Draco said.

Harry smiled and turned to Draco and kissed him When he lied there he began seeing black spots again, but his vision didn't clouded him completely this time, he could still see Draco's blond hair when the whispering came. But this too faded fast and he could hear one voice clearly: "I love you." Before Harry knew what he was doing he said: "I love you too."

Draco pulled away and looked at him like he was from another planet.

"You love me too?"

"Uh, I just…" Harry stumbled.

"How did you knew I was thinking 'I love you'?" Draco asked him.

"I wasn't … I didn't." Harry stumbled. "You were thinking that?" Harry asked.

"So sue me." Draco said.

"This explains a lot." Harry said.

"Explains what?" Draco asked.

"I have my secrets, you have yours." Harry said. And almost immediately realizing how that sounded. He wanted to apologize for it the minute he had said it, but Draco beat him to it.

"Fair." Draco said. "So you love me huh?"

"Yeah, guilty." Harry said. "And you love me?"

"Funny what one little night can do to you." Draco replied. "One more thing, you can hear what I'm thinking?"

"How about you don't ask me questions about that, and I don't ask you questions about your father." Harry said.

"Deal."

"Just one more little thing." Harry said.

"Last time you said 'just one' I stormed out…are you really sure you want to ask me this. I mean you don't want your average of one screwing up thing a week to go up now do you?" Draco asked teasingly.

"I don't, but I do want to know if I could get a map of this house, because really there is no way I can ever find your room again!"
