AN: IMPORTANT (for once)

I'm sorry to inform all of you of this, but there has been some….(bad)stuff… going on in my real life. I'm not sure if I even want to think about writing right now. But I'm going to try. Nick would have been mad at me if I let this stop me from doing something that I love… but it's just… really hard right now so I'm sorry.

Serpents Song:

Like a Fiddle

Harry tensed and then was off of Draco and standing a few feet away almost before Draco's foggy brain could even comprehend what was going on. Quite agile for a Gryffindor, Draco thought irrelevantly.

Draco sat up lazily not bothering to stand, the damage was already done the best action now would be to just pretend like he didn't think it was a big deal. Damage control, it seems Draco had to do a lot of damage control whenever the stupid Gryffindor was involved.

When Draco glanced at Potter, his stance was casual but every well toned muscle in his body was tense. He was ready for a fight; a fight that couldn't happen if this whole peace thing was going to work out. Merlin, Gryffindors had no tact.

Although it was probably a very stupid, very Gryffindorish, move Draco stood and stepped between his guards and Harry. "There's no trouble here" He said. His voice cold calm and dangerous he sent a look at his guards warning them not to challenge him on this matter.

Draco could almost feel the tension in Harry's muscles lessen. He's so trusting Draco thought, repressing a smirk. Draco reached for Harry's arm; linking it with his own he said "I was just about to escort Harry out"

Harry smiled; it was an odd sight but didn't look out of place on the Harry's face. None of the slytherins ever smiled like that, so openly. "Thank you for speaking with me at such a late hour Draco" Harry said as Draco led him to the door. One of the guards snorted, it was obvious that there had been no speaking involved in what the guards had walked in on.

The guard on Draco's side stepped away to let them pass. Draco was quite surprised however when Greg didn't move, he was usually good at following orders. Harry had to shoulder past him. Greg met Harry's glare and held it, something Draco didn't think Greg capable of. Harry sent a challenging smirk towards Greg's direction before moving his arm around Draco's waist and pulling him into another kiss.

By the time Draco's still foggy mind had caught up with the situation, Harry had sent Greg one last final smirk before slipping out of the door and disappearing into the night. How very slytherin of him, Draco thought.

Before turning his sharp almost glaring eyes back at Greg.

"You do know I have to tell your father about this" Greg said before Draco could properly reprimand him.

Draco was unsure of how to react to this new and in charge Greg. He decided on bored, unaffected, tone. It was as always his failsafe. "Fine fine, but it is ever so late and I'm rather tired so hurry it up"

Draco's father didn't yell, scream, and his face didn't even turn red. Draco's father was calm and his voice was quiet. But if anyone thought he wasn't very very mad, then they were severly mistaken.

"This entire trip was a bad idea from the start Draco" Lucius said his grey eyes stony "Pack your bags Draco we are leaving, now."

Draco could feel anger burning in his stomach, rashly he said "But what about the meeting tomorrow? What about the peace the Hufflepuff's could help us find?" He knew his words were dripping with anger, knew he was nearly shouting but at the moment he didn't care.

"The plan the Hufflepuffs proposed was ludicrous, We are leaving tonight Draco and you will obey me"

Draco recognized the tone of his father's voice, for though it was calm it spoke only of danger to Draco's nerves. It was the voice Draco's father used as his last warning before he punished Draco. Draco could almost feel the pain of the cruciatus curse taking hold of his body at the mere memory of it.

Draco looked at his father, his face carefully blank as he said "For tonight, Yes father I will obey you, But soon I will ascend to the throne in my own right. And father, I need not obey you then."

When Draco's father had finally left and his guards had stepped outside to guard the door, Draco nearly collapsed on the ground. Harry's little visit had caused events that played on his nerves like a fiddle, and Draco had never, EVER, said anything like that to his father before.
