The first few days back at Hogwarts had been hectic for the couple. Despite Draco constantly reminding them when they were away that Harry needed to finish assignments, the older boy refused saying you shouldn't be made to write essays during Christmas so while Draco continued to work hard, Harry was usually found with Ethan outside flying which meant that for the first three days back at Hogwarts Harry was constantly working as Draco relaxed and tease the brunette. Despite Harry's pleadings, Draco refused to help him write it, only agreeing to read through his potions assignment when he had finally written it to see if anything needed to be corrected. Harry had never spent so much time in the library researching for different assignments before, he just hoped that it would be worth it.

"I miss Christmas," Harry complained as he collapsed on their bed late one night. Draco was already laying down reading one of the Healer books that Harry had gotten him for Christmas.

"You should have done your work sooner. I did tell you to, didn't I?"

"And I remember telling you that Christmas is not a time to be studying, you should be having fun," Harry said when Draco just giggled at the boy.

"But I'm not the one getting stressed with all the work that I have to finish now, am I?"

"If I didn't love you so damn much, I would hate you right now."

"But I know that would never be possible," Draco smiled earning himself a grin from Harry.

"Nope, I could never hate you, Sweetie."

"Have you got much work left?" The blonde asked, missing the time that they could just relax together, not worrying as much about school work.

"Just an essay on the crucio curse for moony but I could do that in my sleep. I'm definitely calling it a night now, my brain feels like it's going to explode. How did you manage to get all that work done when we were home for the holidays?" Harry asked confused.

"Because I knew how much I'd have to do in such a short space of time while you decided flying with Ethan would be a better use of your time."

"It was…at the time. Now I want to be able to spend my evening with you and not have to worry about writing anything."

"Have you at least got the Transfiguaration work done for tomorrow? McGonagall won't be happy with you if it's half complete."

"Yes, that's all sorted sweetie, now why don't you relax, OK?"

"Yes Harry," Draco smiled as Harry moved to straddle his lap before leaning down to kiss the younger boy gently. What started off as an innocent kiss, soon became something a lot more passionate, Harry laying on Draco, gently biting down on various spots on the blonde's neck earning himself a soft moan when Harry kissed the same spots. Draco's hands quickly went to the Veela's hair, gently pulling it every now and then. As Harry moved further down Draco's neck and jaw, his fingers began playing with the buttons on the younger boys shirt teasingly, before he began undoing them and kissing down Draco's chest.

Draco wanted to be able to make Harry feel as good as he felt in that moment. Harry always knew how to take care of him and the perfect way to help him relax but when the blonde tried to reverse their rolls Harry held the smaller boy where he was and kissed him firmly, effectively stopping the boy for several moments.

"I want to take care of you OK?" Harry asked kissing the boy gently again.

"Yes Harry."

"Now I want you to tell me if anything of this gets too much sweetie and I'll stop ok?"

"Yes Harry," Draco smiled and Harry couldn't help but grin as he sat up carefully, pulling Draco with him to take their shirts off before laying Draco back down on their bed as he continued kissing down the blonde's chest. The Veela could feel Draco hard against his legs and did the best that he could not to push down into it, not wanting to rush the blonde. Harry gradually began kissing back up Draco's chest again before reaching the blonde's left nipple. As Harry took it into his mouth, Draco let out a loud moan, made even louder when Harry bit it gently. After several moments, Harry began to find a rhythm between sucking, biting and licking Draco's nipple, while one of his hands began playing with the other, rolling and squeezing it in between his fingers. Harry never thought that he would hear those noises slipping out of the blonde's mouth, but there Draco was moaning just because of Harry. The Veela couldn't help but feel proud of himself as he swapped the nipple that was in his mouth.

"More Harry, please," Draco pleaded, several moments later. "Please Harry."

"Of course sweetie, what do you want?" Harry replied after kissing him gently.

"Touch me, please," Draco begged thrusting his hips upwards. "Please."

"Anything that you want sweetie," Harry smiled as one hand moved in between the two of them to feel the outline of Draco's cock through his trousers and Draco let out the loudest groan yet. "Is this OK sweetie?"

"I want…"

"You can tell me Sweetie," Harry whispered kissing him softly as a whimper escaped Draco's lips.

"I want you to take them off Harry, please."

"Of course Draco," Harry grinned kissing him again before kissing his way down Draco's chest extremely slowly.

"Harry," Draco groaned.

"We have all evening sweetie," Harry said as he began the journey back down the blonde's extremely smooth chest. The first time that Harry saw Draco without a shirt on, he wasn't surprised with how beautiful his mate looked. His chest was so smooth, no hair at all, and Harry couldn't believe how lucky he was to have this guy as his mate. "You look so gorgeous Draco" Harry muttered in between kisses, "I'm so lucky that you're my mate. I love you so much sweetie. I would always pick you, even if it wasn't for the bond. Always you."

"Always you," Draco repeated with a moan.

"Are you sure this is OK?" Harry asked as he began to undo Draco's trousers.

"Perfect." Awkwardly, Harry began to pull the trousers down, it made slightly harder as he tried to get them down past Draco's hard cock.

"What do you want Sweetie?"

"Underwear," Draco moaned as he felt Harry's firm hand touching him through the underwear. "Off. Please."

"Are you sure Draco? I don't want to rush you."

"Yes Harry, please," Draco groaned. Nervously, Harry pulled Draco's pants off, gently dropping them off the bed before he could admire the blonde's cock for the first time in its full glory. Yes, Harry had felt it before but it had always been through layers of clothes, they had never been this intimate before and it made Harry nervous that he would do something wrong and cause his mate to freak out from thinking about Lucius. It was the first time that Harry had seen a dick apart from his own but he never thought that beautiful would be a word to describe it. Harry wasn't surprised to find that Draco had barely any hair. While Draco's dick looked slightly bigger than Harry's, it was also narrower. Quickly trying to find his wand, Harry cast a spell that cause lube to appear on his hand as he began rubbing his hands together to warm it up before touching Draco. "Please Harry," Draco pleaded again needing relief.

Harry stroked Draco carefully, slowly as Draco let out a sigh of relief thrusting himself up into his hand. It felt so firm in Harry's hand. As Draco groaned, Harry kissed around Draco's bellybutton, as he continued to stroke Draco, getting a rhythm. With the hand that wasn't wrapped around Draco's dick, Harry played with Draco's balls earning a massive groan. Bravely, Harry moved down and kissed the tip of Harry's dick.

"God Harry, please," Draco groaned as the feel of Harry's lips on his dick.

"What is it sweetie?" Harry said before kissing Draco's dick again. "Do you want me to suck you?"

"Please Harry, please," Draco begged.

"Of course sweetie," Harry said taking the tip in his mouth, holding Draco's hips as he tried to thrust up. Knowing that this was Draco's first blowjob and Harry's first time giving one, Harry knew that he wouldn't be able to cope with Draco thrusting down his throat.

"God Harry," Draco groaned and Harry smiled. As he took more in his mouth slowly, Harry pushed his own hips down into the mattress needing some friction, how he lasted this long was beyond him. Looking up through his lashes seeing Draco begging for him and moaning his name was too much for Harry. Harry couldn't believe how nice it felt to have Draco in his mouth, he always thought that blow jobs would be disgusting if you were giving it but watching Draco feel that happy was just as nice for Harry to watch. Harry swirled his tongue repeatedly before taking even more of Draco's dick, doing it slowly so as not to gag.

"Harry, Harry, please. I need to come," Draco pleaded and begged and finally Harry pulled off with a loud pop before stroking Draco through his orgasm resulting in Harry achieving his as well without being touched.

"You alright sweetie?" Harry asked rolling onto his back and pulling Draco on top of him, ignoring Draco's drying cum that was between them.

"Never better. Do you want me to…?"

"You don't need to sweetie."

"It won't be my first time," Draco said, needing to return the favour after the Veela made him feel that good.

"You don't understand. You really don't need to. The sight of you cumming was enough for me sweetie." Harry said kissing Draco softly. "I love you so much Draco.

"I love you too," Draco whispered before nestling his face in the older boy's chest. "Thank you Harry."

"What for?"

"For loving me, for showing me that this doesn't have to be painful, for everything you do."

"Of course Sweetie, you don't need to thank me for loving you. I will always love you and I would even if we didn't have this bond."

"You're perfect," Draco smiled kissing Harry's chest. "I'm sleeping Harry."

"Go to sleep then sweetie, it's late."

"Yes Harry," Draco yawned, "Night Harry."

"Night Sweetie, sweet dreams," Harry replied as he stroked the blonde's hair. It was around five minutes before Harry noticed Draco's breathing evened out when the brunette closed his eyes too.

Snape's lessons were beginning to take their toll on Harry and Draco. The Veela loved spending time with his mate and he was beginning to form an odd sort of relationship with the Professor but seeing the man in private with just Draco three times a week was tiring. After just over a month of three extra lessons a week, Draco was also finding that the stress was building up as well with having a lot more work, although Harry found that Draco barely complained about it to him. To make matters worse, Draco was also having the nightmares at least once a week and that too was wearing.

"You don't have to go today sweetie, Snape wouldn't mind if you need a day off. You barely slept last night," Harry said pulling the small boy into his embrace.

"I need to Harry, I said I'd meet him," Draco protested.

"You barely slept last night, you're falling asleep."

"Just tonight, it's too late to cancel on Severus."

"OK, tonight and then we'll ask Snape to have a week off OK? You need some of your own time and I'm sure Snape would be pleased to have a week off too."

"Yes Harry," Draco reluctantly said but he knew where the veela was coming from. The lessons were beginning to be a bit too much for him and a week's break would be nice.

"Thank you, now I promised Ron that I'd give him a game of chess this evening, despite him always thrashing me so is it OK to leave you for your lesson?"

"Yes Harry. You do know that you I can walk there by myself right?"

"I know but I want to spend as much time as I can with you," Harry grinned kissing Draco softly.

"Are you sure that's it or are you worried that I'll run away and leave you?" Draco teased him.

"Do you really think you'd run away after what happened last night?" Harry retorted and Draco's face turned bright red.

"Harry! Anybody could here you! We're not in our private room now!"

"So you don't want any rewards tonight after Snapes lesson?" Harry winked.

"Harry!" Draco exclaimed as he grabbed his bag and left the Gryffindor common room. Sighing at his mistake, Harry quickly ran to catch up.

"I'm sorry sweetie," Harry said tugging on his arm to pull the blonde boy towards him again. "I shouldn't have said it so…blatantly. I know those moments are special between the two of us and just to let you know, nobody heard what I said."

"But they might have and then they'll start calling me names like father did."

"Trust me sweetie, I won't let them, OK? I promise you."

"Yes Harry."

"And I promise that I will only tease you about thatwhen we're alone, in our private room."

"Thank you," Draco smiled leaning off for a kiss.

"Let's get you to Snape then," Harry replied holding Draco's hand smiling softly.

Despite Draco saying that he didn't mind Harry leaving him in class alone, it did feel rather odd being left by himself with Severus. Although Draco had a close relationship with the professor, not being able to look over at Harry every now and then and receive a smile or a wink from him. It was more distracting not having Harry there, than having him there.

"Draco, Draco, will you pay attention?" Severus said trying to get the boy to stop day dreaming.

"Sorry Sev," Draco said with a shy smile.

"We've been here half an hour and I haven't taught you anything, you've been half asleep and dreaming since you got here Draco. Now why don't you head back to your common room and I only expect to see you in classes next week, no extra's like we agreed when Harry was here. I expect you to get a proper rest tonight Draco, OK?"

"Yes Severus, I'll see you tomorrow at breakfast." Draco smiled leaving the room. He knew that this would be a nice surprise for him to come back to their dorm early. Maybe there would be able to have an early night, Draco was exhausted and just wanted to curl up in Harry's arms and fall asleep, be able to feel Harry's heart beat as he pressed himself into the Veela's chest.

"Where do you think you're off to blondie?" Draco heard come from behind him. Just as he was about to turn around to see the tormenter, he felt a curse immobilise him as he fell to the floor and another spell silenced him. That's when Draco got a good glimpse of his attacker – Blaise Zabini. The boy had bullied him for his first five years at Hogwarts but it had always been words and nothing had happened since Harry had been at Hogwarts with him, even when Draco wondered around by himself. "You look pathetic down there blondie? Of course only a Veela would want you as their being forced to put up with you. Who in their right mind would fall in love with you? Your father must have been pissed when he saw you were his son, no wonder he treated you how he did. You look more like a daughter than a son, he must have gotten confused, fag." All through Zabini's speech, he continued to kick Draco's legs and ribs. Eventually the pain was too much for the small, blonde boy who couldn't even cry out for help and he fell unconscious.

"Looks like he's finally waking Zabini," A voice said that Draco would recognise from anywhere. Lucius. "You did well Zabini."

"Thank you sir." The young boy replied. Draco could feel a gag in his mouth and his hands were chained to the wall behind him. To make matters worse, Draco was as naked as the day he was born. Nobody apart from Harry should see him like that, he was Harry and Harry was his and nobody should touch the blonde like that. Draco tried to keep his eyes closed for as long as possible, to avoid looking at his father and the Slytherin student but he needed to see where he was stuck. He wanted to know what was happening around him. He forced his eyes to stay closed, making sure that the tears that were begging to flow to the surface wouldn't but when he felt a whip hit him across the chest, Draco wouldn't help but snap his eyes open to look at his evil father.

"There you are then Draco, it's so nice to see you again." Lucius said hitting the boy at pretty much every other word. The pain was evident in Draco's eyes, so was the fear but also anger. "I missed you over the Christmas holidays. I bet you missed me too. I bet Potter's nowhere near as good as fucking that tight ass like I am." Draco tried to shout through the gag but he could only mumble, no words managed to escape his mouth. How dare his father talk about Harry like that? "Trying to defend that half-blood? How sweet! Do you love him Draco? God knows how he loves you, you're pathetic. Couldn't even fight off Zabini here. What kind of wizard are you? You can't be any son of mine, your slut of a mother couldn't keep her legs together. Who knows who your actual father is with the amount of guys she got through?" My mother was not a slut, Draco tried to force out but he couldn't. "You can have him first if you want Zabini, he's old news for me but always a nice treat every now and then."

"Thank you sir," Zabini said sending a sickening smile towards Lucius before taking the whip from Draco's father when he whipped Draco for at least twenty times when Draco began to lose count, the pain too much and the tears began to fall. Draco had tried to be strong for Harry, be brave knowing that Harry would be there soon, Harry would find him and this torture would be over and Lucius would be locked up for good but every time that the whip struck him, a part of him broke and a tiny part of him kept thinking that Harry wouldn't be able to turn up or the veela would never find him and he'd be stuck in his father's clutches forever. "Look at you like that. All ready for me, just like the slut you are. Bet you do whatever Potter wants from you but you're ours now. You'll never see that dirty Veela again."

"Stop talking to him Zabini, I'm not allowing you to stay with him just to talk."

Yes sir," Zabini replied before undoing his pants and pulling his cock out. Draco tried to move away as the other teenager approached but no matter how or where he tried to move there was no escape. "Now I don't want any back chat from you when I remove the gag. No arguing about Potter. I want to hear you scream and beg me to stop. Is that understood or I'll whip you again?" Crying Draco nodded and the gag was ripped from his mouth but then another pain hit him and he was screaming and crying and pleading for it to stop but it wouldn't end and Draco didn't know how long he would be able to last before they broke him.

"Draco," Harry suddenly said, sitting up quickly from where he was lounging on the couch half way through a game of chess with Ron. Harry was drastically loosing and he wouldn't last another ten minutes in the game. Regardless of the amount of practice that Harry had been having with Ron since the beginning of the school year, he wasn't getting any better.

"What's wrong Harry?" Hermione said looking up from her book.

"It's Draco, something's wrong," Harry said running out the room, ignoring Ron's shout saying that it was probably just a potion explosion. Harry had never felt so panicky about Draco before, something was seriously wrong to cause this amount of panic running through his veins. He had never realised how far away the Potions classroom was from the Gryffindor tower.

"Potter?" Severus said looking up from some parchment he was studying.

"Draco? Where's Draco Snape? What happened?" Harry said as loudly as he could through his panting.

"Stop talking in riddles Potter! What's wrong with Draco?" Severus said standing up from his desk to go to the worried teenager.

"Something's wrong with Draco, why isn't he here Snape? Where's Draco?" Harry said constantly looking round the classroom as if the blonde boy would jump out in front of him. "Was there an accident? Is he in the hospital wing?"

"Harry," Severus said calmly, finally getting the boy to look at him. "I sent Draco back, about ten, fifteen minutes ago. He was dead on his feet and he needed to go to bed. I told him to leave and head back to you Harry. Isn't he back yet?"

"Something's wrong, I can feel it. He's in pain."

"Let's head to Dumbledore, he knows Hogwarts like the back of his hand, I swear there's a tattooed map on it."

"The map!" Harry suddenly yelled, running out of the room with Severus hot on his tail worried about the boy he had begun to love like a son. "Sirius! Remus! The map, where's the map?" Harry demanded as soon as he opened the door to the Lupin-Black quarters. As soon as Caitlyn noticed Harry, she quickly ran to the boy clinging to his leg.

"You looking for a new make out spot for with the young Draco?" Sirius teased.

"The map, now Sirius!" Harry demanded before bending down to get Caitlyn to let go of his leg. "Ethan, can you take Caitlyn to one of your rooms and entertain her," he asked the small boy who walked up and took his little sisters hand.

"What's wrong Harry?" Ethan asked confused.

"Hopefully nothing," Harry said forcing a smile before the two of them left the room. Letting out a breath knowing that they were away and safe, Harry finally let out his pent out worry and suddenly the windows in the sitting room burst. "Sorry, sorry." Harry sighed before rushing up to Sirius and grabbing the map off of him before quickly searching for his mate's name.

"What's wrong with Prongslet?" Remus asked Severus completely confused.

"He has a feeling something's wrong with Draco, he left Potions class alone and early as Harry didn't stay."

"Do you think something happened to him?" Sirius asked taking Remus' hand.

"No idea," Severus said collapsing on a chair.

"He's gone!" Harry shouted. "He's not here. He's gone. Where is he? He's not at Hogwarts. What's wrong with him? Where is he? Who took him? Why? Draco." Harry's voice gradually grew quieter with each word and by the end of his panicked speech he began to cry, worrying for the safety of his mate, worrying about how he would find him but mainly blaming himself for the pain that Draco was probably going through.
