"I just thought about something," Harry spoke quietly, visibly paling. They had spent the night in the RoR and he wasn't sure if anyone had come looking for them.

"What's that, love?" Draco spoke into his ear as they stayed cuddled together in the Slytherin's bed.

"Everyone knows about us now," he replied, blushing furiously. Draco hummed in approval and turned Harry over, looking into his emerald eyes with a slight mischievous glint in his eye.

"Scared, Potter?" Draco asked sarcastically and Harry rolled his eyes.

"You wish." Then he shrugged before speaking again. "It's just odd. We weren't even dating before. It's a lot to take in. It's not like before when everyone just assumed we either liked each other or loathed each other. There's a solid story for them to follow."

"Does that bother you?" Draco asked lazily, tracing shapes on Harry's arm.

"No. It's just...odd?" Harry said and Draco chuckled in response, but Harry was still rambling. "I would say us being together in general would be a bit odd."

"It's never been odd to me," Draco said looking slightly hurt before removing himself from the bed.

"Draco, you know that's not what I meant."

"Then what did you mean, Potter!? Because it seems to me that whenever I have a happy moment you rip it away! Especially if it deals with how I feel about you!" Draco snapped and then looked away, before walking out on a speechless Harry to get dressed. While he was alone, Harry walked over to the wardrobe and threw on a new outfit that the room had provided and walked out quietly towards the door.

When he left the room he noticed Draco leaving and walking into the main corridor to get away from him. He followed and grabbed the blonde's hand once the door to the Room of Requirement disappeared.

"Draco, please don't be angry," Harry pleaded. "I need you..."

"You know that bloody well isn't true. You have the Weasel & Granger. I bet you just thought this was hilarious." Draco sneered while snatching his hand from Harry. "Watch Malfoy fall for me. Watch him make a fool of himself."

"You know that's not true Dray. You were there when I first smelled the Amortentia. You were there when I took it. You know what it does to me..." Harry blushed looking down but Draco still turned away.

"Harry, I'm not going to force you into a relationship you don't want to- Woah! What're you doi-mmm" Harry pushed Draco against the wall and forced their lips together while lifting the blonde's legs and wrapping them around his waist grinding against him.

"Dray, you know I love you. You may not understand how much I care for you, or even why, but I do. You can question anything else, but never my feelings for you." Draco looked at Harry surprised.

"You know, Potter," Malfoy said with a tone that was a bit more teasingly lustful now. "I like it when you play rough." He smirked at Harry and went in for another kiss, but Harry released him from around his waist and stood him up on his own.

"I told you not yet, Malfoy." Harry spoke sternly but still earned an eye roll from Draco who turned and continued his path down the corridor. "Where are you going? No classes today, remember?"

"Yeah, because I almost pitched the headmaster off of the astronomy tower. How could I forget?" He rolled his eyes, sneering again. I didn't think he would make it this easy to put my walls back up, thought Malfoy as he stormed away from Harry. "I have a meeting with McGonagall and some Aurors from the ministry. Apparently the story about Snape doesn't seem plausible and they probably still want to know why I haven't run yet. You can thank your friend Granger for that bit."

"She's your friend too, Malfoy," Harry said exasperated.

"Oh, me and Granger have never been friends. She just helped me with some personal...research." He looked back at Harry before sighing. "Not like it matters anymore." He turned from Harry yet again and continued his journey to the empty dinning hall.

No one would be taking over the headmasters office just yet. Not until everything had been cleared up and an explanation was found.

Harry decided he shouldn't follow Draco. His boyfriend had nothing to hide. So what, he was a death eater? He didn't do what they were here for. Harry was never really good with wizarding laws, but he couldn't see where Draco had broken one. He decided instead to head to the Gryffindor common room. If they wanted to attack he was going to let them.

He walked down the corridors silently thinking. He assumed that the interrogation was what had Draco so worked up. So why take it out on me? Once at the portrait, he took a shaky breath then spoke the password. The portrait creaked open to reveal a group of Gryffindors in collective mourning. Although no one knew Dumbledore the way Harry did the entire room was still having moments of silence. A bell chimed somewhere in the room and a small chatter arose, but never above a whisper.

Harry noticed a head of red hair on the floor in front of the fireplace and went over to talk. He sat on the couch behind him because he didn't want to see the anger on his face.

"Where's 'Mione?" He asked as though it was any other day. Ron shrugged then looked back at him.

"Searching for you, I guess." He shrugged again looking away from his best friend. "She just said she'd be back."

Just as he finished talking the door to the common room open quietly but swiftly and Hermione was talking before anyone had a chance to say anything.

"I went to the kitchens thinking maybe he went to get something to eat because he wasn't up for breakfast, but when I passed the dinning hall it was full of Aurors! I wonder what's going on."

At this point Harry spoke and looked back at her making his presence known on the couch.

"They're interrogating Draco. They don't believe that it was Snape that killed Dumbledore. They think Draco did it and stayed on campus to dull suspicions." She looked at Harry wide-eyed because he wasn't as worked up as she thought he should be. Didn't he know anything about wizarding laws?

"Did something happen between you two since last night?" She asked and Harry blushed.

"No..." He said trying to run the color from he cheeks.

"Did you break up or something?" He looked confused and surprised now. At this question Ron looked up almost hopefully.

"Definitely not," He said and Ron looked like he was on the edge of puking.

"So why are you here?"

"Excuse me?" Harry's chest hurt his friends didn't want him here? "If you wanted me to leave 'Mione you could have just asked."

"Harry I didn't mean it like that. Do you know anything about Wizarding Laws?" She asked almost quietly.

"Not really, why?"

"Draco isn't getting interrogated. He's being arrested for taking the Dark Mark underage and being a part of a conspiracy for murder."

The color fell from Harry's face. He was as pale as a ghost. Before saying another word Harry bolted off the couch and out of the room headed towards the Great Hall. He took the steps 2 at a time, only tripping once when he reached the bottom.

The aurors in front of the dinning hall opened the doors as Harry approached, but it wasn't to let him in. Once the doors were opened he saw Draco with a busted lip and bruise forming above his eye. The color almost blindingly painful against his normal pale skin. He was handcuffed and being held on each arm by a different auror. There were three flanking him as well in case he tried to make a run for it.

"Dray..." Harry's voice broke off as he looked into hardened silver eyes.

"Potter," He greeted, trying to force his gaze away from his love.

"Malfoy," He said trying to keep his tone balanced. The aurors nodded at Harry and proceeded to walk outside. No apparition on Hogwarts grounds. Usually he thought angrily. The wards were down last night. He reminded himself. When he looked back up the group of Aurors were halfway to the gates by now with Draco in the lead.

Harry ran behind them. He reached them as they reached the gates.

"Draco Malfoy!" He yelled while running to the front of the group and facing him. Draco wouldn't look him in the eyes.

"What do you want, Potter?" He snapped.

"I want to know where you think you're going without saying goodbye to your boyfriend." Harry stepped closer and even as the aurors held Draco back, keeping him from running away they seemed thoroughly shocked.

"Harry," Draco blushed, but still looked distressed. Harry had stepped close enough to touch him.

"We are going to figure this out. I promise. I love you," Harry whispered in his ear. He leaned in and captured Draco's lips. Draco immediately kissed back, trying to put all of his love and emotions into that kiss. Azkaban had a way of stealing the happiness from you and if that's where he was going he wanted Harry to hold on the his joy.

They pulled away from each other and Draco spoke quietly, but the entire group of aurors heard him.

"I love you too, Harry," Draco spoke looking directly into those swirling orbs of emerald. Those from the ministry were done waiting and they made quick work of apparating away.

Harry fell to his knees in a messy sort of collapse and allowed his sobs to rip his throat to shreds.

That's how Hermione and Ron found him hours later, just before curfew. He had no more tears, but sobs still racked his body.

He doesn't remember much, but he did remember Ron apologizing.

"I'm sorry, mate. You must really love that pompous prick, huh?"

Hermione casted a weightless charm on him so that Ron could carry him into the castle alone, but Harry's heart felt heavier than ever.
