Chapter 12
"But Draco," Harry whined as he stood and sighed grumpily. "I'm bored and being in here all the time is not helping, why won't you take me out or something?"
Draco smiled and stood up to gather the Mage into his arms. "Because I want you to get better and all that running around and killing things is bad for that plan," he said. "Tell you what... If you get on some really warm clothes, I'll take you out and fly you around."
Midnight's mind whirled as he thought of how to leave when Draco wasn't looking, but then thought better of it when he realized the trust Draco was putting in him without realizing it.
"Let me see what I have..." He said as he walked over to the wardrobe.
Draco pulled on his white sneakers and avoided looking at Midnight. As Harry got better, sleeping in the same bed with him became more torturous every night. He wanted to take Midnight and keep him forever. He was growing more and more attached to the boy by the day. He sighed quietly as he thought of how the Mage was going to leave in a few short days.
Midnight stripped and began to dress. He put on a pair of silver pants and a long sleeved black turtleneck sweater that was four sizes to big for him and hung down to his knees. He pulled on a pair of black boots with black fur around the top and pulled out a pair of silver earmuffs with a black connector piece.
"Ready Draco?"
Draco nodded and grabbed his broom and coat. He opened the door and assured Cindy that Midnight would stay with him. He smiled at the Mage and led him out to the steps of Hogwarts. There was a light snow falling, and the ground was already covered in thick drifts. He mounted his broom and slid forward to allow Harry enough room to sit comfortably.
Harry smiled and wrapped his arms around Draco when he got on the broom comfortably. "Where to?"
"It's up to you, oh wise Mage. We can't stay out too long, though. I don't want you to get sick," Draco said, slowly moving out into the snowy air. He circled the lake a few times, waiting for Harry to make his decision.
"To the stars..." Midnight said as he closed his eyes and sighed.
Draco smiled and flew slow circles around the lake. He chuckled as he remembered Harry's innuendo of the other day. "How's your balance?" he asked quietly, leaning back into Harry's warmth.
"Want to find out?" Midnight asked with as a wicked smile curled his lips.
"Love to..." Draco said, gently lifting the Mage until Harry sat in front of him. "Are you willing to be mine?"
"Aren't I yours now?" he asked with a chuckle.
"I mean for a long time... I want you so bad it hurts, but I don't want a quick 'hi how are you... lets have sex' thing. Will you be mine for a good long time if not forever?" he asked, kissing Harry's neck softly.
"You don't mind Sonar?" He asked softly as he pulled back and looked deeply into Draco's blue eyes. "You have to tell me yes or no..."
Draco kissed him softly. "No, because I know that you and Sonar have a very good relationship already... you're the one who gave him his full power, and living with Tony made me realize what that means to a Spirit Mage. I just hope he doesn't mind me..." he said, smiling at Harry. "Anyone else, I'd mind, but Sonar's okay..."
Harry smiled and leaned forward, kissing the trainee softly. "Good..."
Draco smiled and wrapped his arms around the Mage's waist. "Shall we retire to your rooms?" he asked, slipping his hand under the Mage's sweater and sliding it over Harry's muscular back.
Midnight chuckled and pressed his body closer to the blonde's. "I thought you wanted to test my balance..."
Draco smiled and slipped his upper body into Harry's sweater, moving to suck on one of his nipples. "I knew I liked this sweater for some reason..." he mumbled, nipping at the boy's skin gently. Draco inhaled Harry's scent as he gently sucked on the boy's nipple, not wanting to hurt his wounds. He held the broom as steady as he could, feeling the temperature in the sweater increase dramatically.
"Mmm...Draco, although I'd love to do this, maybe we can move inside and I can show you my balance in the room." Midnight said with a laugh as the snow began to fall harder.
Draco pulled his head out from under Harry's sweater and chuckled. "Sorry..." he said as he kept one arm around the Mage as he steered the broom back to the castle steps. "Got kind of carried away.."
"I didn't mind and normally I'd say fly higher until the Quidditich pitch was just a small speck, but its going to be a terrible Ice storm and I think we should get in." Midnight said with a smile as he kissed the blonde's neck.
Draco shivered slightly and landed. "I feel sorry for all the kids going to Herbology tomorrow..." he said, allowing Harry to dismount and sliding off the broom himself. He held out his hand to Harry, smiling sweetly at the Mage.
Midnight smiled and stepped into the trainee's arms. "To your room..." he whispered.
With a nod, Draco led them to his room. He opened the door and led Harry in. He was slightly nervous, but true to his Malfoy character he didn't show it. After shutting and locking the door, he turned and kissed Harry gently, wanting the time to last as long as possible.
"Don't worry Draco, its alright...it's all really easy..." Midnight said as he placed his hand on the side of Draco's face and kissed him again.

"Draco, would you stop taking my cloths out of my bag, this really is childish." Midnight said as he folded a black sleeveless shirt for the third time and put it back in the suitcase.
Draco sighed and grinned. "Fine. I surrender," he said, grabbing a shirt and folding it. He laid it in the bag and reached for another one. He looked at his new lover and smiled. It felt good to be closer to the Mage. He'd discovered a lot about Harry that he'd never thought possible.
Harry laughed and pulled a black pair of tights. "Oh god, I thought I burned these..."
Draco rose a single eyebrow. "Tights? Why Potter... I never thought you the tights type," he said dryly, a smirk firmly in place.
Harry laughed again. "I'm not, that's the funny part, Jade stole my cloths once and told me that either I wore tights or I would be naked." He shrugged and threw the tights into the bag.
Draco's expression blanked out. He folded a pair of silver pants and tucked them into the case. He yawned slightly and concentrated on the thought of his upcoming Potion's exam, trying to see the questions.
"He was so upset when he realized I wasn't wearing the tights that I think he turned the color of his hair..." Harry said with a laugh.
"Aqua was thrilled when you walked into the Hall completely naked," Jade said from the doorway, smiling at Harry.
"Oh yes, she was ecstatic...and you were no help, what with your threatening everyone that was looking at me..."
The morning after Harry had been with Draco he had had a long talk with Jade and been very proud that he hadn't killed the older mage. They had agreed to work out their problems, but, on Harry's insistence, they were not to have any physical relationship.
Midnight turned to his former lover. "What do you think?" He asked as he held up a black frilled shirt and a pair of silver pants with black boots.
"Shirt no, everything else, yes," Jade said, smiling. He looked at Draco and felt anger boil inside of him. He'd taken Midnight and made him his own.
Draco looked at the Mage and rose an eyebrow, cool and arrogant. He refused to rise to the man's bait, ignoring his childish glares and snide remarks.
Midnight rolled his eyes and pulled out another shirt. "I swear, Why do I have these pants anyways...I can't find a shirt they go with..."
Draco held up a black sheer poets shirt with silver laces. "How about this one?" he asked, ignoring Jade's sneer.
"Oh goodness...Haven't seen that in a long time..." He smiled and lay the outfit on the bed to examine it. "I like it, thank you..." He smiled at Draco and began to fold the shirt and pants together.
"You're welcome," Draco said, and continued to fold various items of clothes.
"I've come to collect you," Jade said, frowning slightly. He shook his head and smiled again. "It's time to go."
"Well then grab a few more cloths and throw them in the bag while I go get my toothbrush..." Midnight said with a laugh. "No killing each other..." he said as he left.
Draco stepped back and took out his wand and flicked his wrist, causing all of Harry's possessions to neatly place themselves into the suitcase.
"Did you get lost my love?" Jade called with a smile.
Harry's laugh answered him. "No, I decided to get my robe and take it with me, but its in your room, did you pack it?" He asked as he came back into the room and put his toothbrush in-between a few stacks of cloths and zipped the suitcase.
"No. I'm keeping it," Jade said with a smile as he leaned over and kissed Midnight's cheek. He picked up the Mage's suitcase and headed for the door. "Come on, Aqua's waiting," he said as he headed out the door.
"Alright, I'll be out in a moment, I promise." Midnight said with a smile.
Jade nodded and left.
Draco stood and looked Harry in the eye. "If he does anything to you, I'll kill him," he said serious.
Harry laughed and kissed Draco's cheek. "That's a sweet offer, but no killing Jade. He won't do anything, he promised me he wouldn't."
Draco pulled the Mage into his arms and kissed him deeply. "I'm going to miss you," he said, sighing and releasing Harry. "If you need anything, send me an owl."
"I'll be fine, don't worry about me, I'll be fine, I'll be back before you know it." Midnight said as he kissed the trainee again and moved away, heading for the door.
Draco watched him leave and sighed softly. "Why do I not believe you?" he mumbled, getting up and going back to his room to try to write his father again. Draco had been trying to owl him for weeks, but hadn't been getting a response.
Midnight sighed as he walked beside Jade. He knew something was going to go wrong, he just knew it.
"What's wrong?" Jade asked, tilting his head with concern.
"I don't like this...I have a feeling something is wrong and I can't figure it out..."Harry replied as he stretched and pulled on his braid.
Jade smiled and poked Harry's stomach playfully. "Did you leave the cauldron on?" he teased, referring to the time that Harry had left it on and started the whole potions lab on fire.
"Oh ha ha, that's was just as much you fault..." Midnight commented as he flipped his braid behind him. "No, and if I did Snape deserves it..."
Jade laughed and shifted Harry's suitcase. He rounded a bend and said, "As I recall, you were the one that grabbed me first," he said.
Midnight smiled and recalled that day clearly. "So it was, but did you ever think of saying no?" He asked with a laugh.
"I can never say no to you when you ask me for that..." Jade said, grinning and taking Harry's hand.
"Teddy..." Midnight warned as he looked at their joined hands.
Jade reluctantly pulled his hand away and sighed, looking at the portraits lining the hall. He shifted the suitcase again, giving himself something to do. "I'm sorry..." he mumbled, turning another corner. He felt guilt wash over him again. "It really was stupid of me and I hope you can forgive me one day..."
"One day Teddy, but I won't forgive you like that, not anytime soon..." Harry said softly, looking at his feet as they walked. When they reached Aqua, Midnight smiled and moved to stand by his roommate.
Theodore nodded and stood near Bloodlust. He transported with the rest and followed Harry to he and Quicksilver's rooms to get his stuff out of them. "Will you have dinner with me tonight?" he asked Harry, falling into step beside the Mage and his roommate.
Midnight nodded and smiled softly. "Of course...what shall I wear?"
He smiled at the older mage and winked as he unlocked his door and opened it. "You want your stuff don't you..." He whispered.
After letting Quicksilver pass, he stood in the doorway. "Not if you don't want it out of there..." he said, looking deep into Midnight's silver eyes. "I just didn't think that you'd want to see any of my things..."
"I..." Midnight gazed deep into Jade's green eyes and sighed. He wanted Jade, He loved Jade with all of his hear, but he couldn't stop thinking about Draco and the boy's love for him. He knew he could grow to love Draco...there was potential, but did he want it...
Midnight sighed. "I...think that would be best...you're right, I'm very upset at you..." he whispered.
"I'll get it later..." he said, turning to leave. "I do still love you, Harry..." He closed the door softly and started down the corridor towards his own rooms.
"I know..."Harry whispered softly, "I still love you too..."
Jade returned at six that same day and knocked at Harry's door. He was wearing a pair of tight green pants and a magenta tank-top with a green over-shirt. He waited, tugging nervously at the cuffs of his shirt.
Quicksilver opened the door with a bounce and stopped when she saw who it was. "Oh, it's you..." She flicked one of her white pigtails out of her eyes and rose her eyebrow. "What do you want?"
"I'm here to pick Harry up for dinner. He agreed to come," he replied, trying to smile but failing miserably.
"I don't know why..." She said as she turned and walked back to her bed, adjusting her short gray cargo skirt and white tube top as he went. "You know, if you weren't on my team, I'd kill you for hurting him..."
Jade looked at the floor and moved to sit on Harry's bed. "Where is he, by the way?" he asked, looking around the room.
"In the bathroom...he'll be out in a moment..." She then set about ignoring the other mage until Midnight arrived.
Harry straightened his shirt and sighed once more. He was wearing a silver silk shirt and a pair of black pants with a pair black boots with silver laces. He couldn't help but think that he looked frumpy as he exited the bathroom and turned off the light. He jumped slightly when he saw Jade sitting on his bed.
Jade gave the Mage a smile as he stood. "You look lovely," he said quietly, eyes tracing every line that the elegant clothing revealed and hid at the same time.
Midnight smiled his thanks and gave a glance to his roommate. "See ya Laine..."
Jade opened the door for Harry as Hellaine rose her eyebrow and scowled slightly. "I liked the blonde more," she said before turning and poking at her pillow.
Jade's smile faded slightly, but he offered Harry his arm anyways. "Where do you want to go? The Cafeteria... or the Cafeteria?"
Harry smiled and took the arm. "The Cafeteria sounds lovely..." He laughed and headed off that way.
Jade laid his hand over Harry's and smiled at the Mage. "So, what's your next assignment?" he asked once they were seated around a small booth.
"The council hasn't given me one...I think our group might get a break for awhile..." Midnight replied as he picked up the menu and looked it over. "Do you have one?"
"Not yet... I think they might make me an instructor and give me a student, though," he replied, smiling happily.
"That's a frightening prospect..." Midnight said with a laugh. "I pity your student...They'll turn out like Fred and Gorge..."
Jade laughed, remembering Harry tell him about the twins that he'd known at Hogwarts. "At least they'd be more interesting than some of the Mage's here, and they'd kick some major ass," he said, grinning.
Harry laughed and placed his order when a girl from the kitchens came over to them.
Jade ordered the chicken. "Feeling brave today?" he asked when Harry ordered the Special.
"Oh yes, I might be able to show the Potion Mages how to make it edible one day..." Midnight said with a chuckle. "So...Have you seen Spirit Mage Nightwish?" He asked with a smile.
"Not yet," Jade answered, smiling. "I heard that he's going back to Hogwarts, though. His roommate is still training there, and he wanted to be stationed with our team."
"Yeah, he'll be coming back with us at the end of the holiday...so..." Midnight night grinned. "What did you get me for Christmas?"
"Myself wearing a bow on..." he said, smiling at their old joke. "Well, lets just say that you'll like taking the bow off."
"Unfortunately, that present won't be opened...I'm still angry at its sender, but I'll put it away until I'm not." He said with a sigh.
Jade nodded. "So, what are you getting me for Christmas besides a poison turkey?" he asked as he accepted the plate from the waitress.
"An engraved bracelet that sucks the life out of its wearer..." Midnight replied with a laugh as he looked at the mound of peach and green slop on his plate surrounded by shriveled orange lumps that Harry assumed had been carrots at one time.
Jade rose an eyebrow at the plate. "Hence the 'grave' part in engraved?" he joked, sliding his plate closer to Midnight to allow the Mage to have some.
Midnight sighed and began to eat from Jade's plate slowly. "Oh yes, burial plot and all..."
"Well then, you won't get my present, now will you?" Jade asked, trying to cheer the boy up. "Midnight, what's wrong? You seem down..."
"Nothing," He replied. "I'm just still exhausted..." He smiled weakly and continued to eat.
"Do you want to go back to your room after this?" he asked, concern in his jade green eyes. Despite how he'd betrayed the boy, he still loved Harry very much.
Midnight nodded. "My head is hurting...it would be best..." he replied as he leaned back slightly. "So really, what did you get me?"
"I can't tell," Jade said, smiling. "Well, I can hint. It involved your favorite color and an object." He grinned and looked smug.
"You have one twisted mind Teddy, but I won't tell you either so I guess its fair..." He laughed and stood when he couldn't eat anymore. "Are you done?"
"Yes," Jade said, standing and offering Midnight his arm. He smiled. "Well, you could at least give me a hint..."
"It's your favorite color and you can hold it..." He replied with a laugh, emulating Jade's earlier words.
"You? Oh... what a lovely gift... I shall be by tomorrow to pick it up for lunch at noon," he said, kissing Midnight's hand as they reached Harry's room.
"You are weird and are just trying to win me back..." Harry stated mater-of- factly as he smiled and turned to open his door, trying to ignore the happy feelings inside at the thought of Jade still loving him.
Jade held onto Midnight's hand, stopping him. "Harry... I was a fool... I had you every day and I didn't even realize what I had. I love you... and always will. I hope that one day you will forgive me and we can go back to how we were in the beginning. I know it doesn't mean much... but you still have my heart and always will..." he said, the last words scarcely louder than a whisper.
Harry looked at Theodore for a moment and gave his hand a soft squeeze before opening the door and entering his room, watching Jade the entire time he closed the door.
Draco looked at the ceiling in his room and sighed quietly. He'd had a vision that day of Harry and Jade laying in bed together, their bodies twined at they slept. He sat up, angry at himself for ever believing the boy-who-lived and marched out of his room to go to the Slytherin Common room. He sat in a chair and brooded silently, pretending to read a potion's book.
Pansy blinked when she saw the blonde boy and sighed as she walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. "Draco-baby, what's wrong my love?"
Draco leaned back into his friend's arms. "You ever feel like your insides were becoming your outsides... your outsides were becoming your insides... just...pain... lots and lots of pain..." he replied, setting the book down with a sigh.
"Love...it's a bitch..." Pansy said as she took his book and turned it so that it was readable. "Let me guess...it's your War Mage isn't it..." She smiled when Vincent and Gregory came and sat on the couch next to one another as Millicent and R.I.P. followed.
"You don't even want to hear about it...You know, sometimes I wish that I could just go out and have some completely unattached sex..." he said, seeing Basil enter the Common room and moved over to Vincent.
Pansy looked at Basil and then back to Draco and frowned. "No," she said firmly. "But why? I thought you two were getting along famously...has something happened?" She asked as she looked down at her friend.
"We had different views...," Draco replied with a shrug. "I saw us as a couple, and he didn't."
"I'm confused..." She said, "Did he tell you this? Did he tell you he didn't want to be with you? That he wanted to break up?"
R.I.P. leaned forward. "Who would he be with anyways? He is still totally furious at Jade for whatever he did..."
Draco shrugged. "Well, I'm putting a notice on the board tomorrow... 'Wanted: Boy interested in UNATTACHED boy for a little fun with no strings attached. See Draco Malfoy for details.' I'm going to bed... I'll see you all in Potion's tomorrow..." he said, standing and starting towards the door.
Basil smiled and winked at Pansy as he started after the blonde boy.
"Draco, Wait..." he called as he wrapped an arm around the boys waist and turned him around. "Draco...we may not be on the best terms...after what I did...but I think we should talk..."
Draco sighed quietly. "Basil... I'm really tired..." he said with a small yawn. "What is it?"
"I think you should give you mage the benefit of the doubt before you do something drastic...I know you well and know that when you set you mind to something like revenge, there is only one out come...and it's usually not good." He sighed and let go of the boy. "But I know if I had you back, even for a moment...I'd tell you how much I loved you and worship you every second...I know he feels the same way...He isn't even here to defend himself. Wait to be upset..."
Basil stroked Draco's cheek softly and smiled at him. "I'm so sorry for all I did to you...you were and are the best thing that has ever entered my world of black..." with that Basil flashed the blonde a soft smiled and walked away and disappeared up the dormitory stairs.
Draco sighed quietly and watched the brunette disappear up the stairs. "It'd be nice to feel like I'm appreciated more..." he thought out loud, turning and going back to his rooms to stare at the ceiling again and contemplate the mess he'd made of his life.
After an hour, he gave up and tried to write another letter to his father, who still hadn't replied. 'I hope he's okay...' Draco thought, tying the letter to the leg of a school owl and sending it off.
Jade smiled at Harry across the table from him. "I have a surprise for you," he said.
They were having lunch a week after they'd arrived and Jade had made it a point to show the young war mage how much he loved him.
"Oh?" Midnight asked as he looked up and pushed a stray lock of black hair behind his ear. "What is it? Another one of your attempts at bad poetry?" He asked with a teasing laugh.
Jade faked a hurt look. "No... actually, it was this," he said, holding up a silver necklace that was really one long silver serpent with emerald eyes. He pressed the snake's head and it released it's tail from it's mouth, opening it. "But since you don't want it..."
Midnight looked at it with a sense of awe. "Oh Teddy...but I can't take that...it's to expensive..." he continued to gaze at the beautiful necklace. "I wish I could...I do...but it wouldn't be right..."
"You're right, you can't take this... you insulted my poetry," Theodore teased, sniffing and looking hurt. He stood up and walked around behind Harry. Gently, he lifted the Mage's mass of heavy hair and draped the serpent around Midnight's neck. Immediately, the serpent gave a soft hiss and bit it's tale again, clasping. "Consider it an early Christmas present with more to follow. I'm Jewish. It's Hanukah..." he joked, kissing Midnight's neck softly before going back to his seat.
Harry touched the delicate serpent's body and smiled. "Lotus is going to be amused by this..." He said as he sighed. "But...I'm dating Draco, I can't..." He said mournfully.
He felt strongly for Draco, love might even cover it...he wasn't sure, but he knew he loved Jade, no matter if he was angry or not. Nothing could stop him from loving the green-eyed mage.
Jade looked down and fidgeted with his hands. "I know... just think of it as a peace offering between friends... Let's start all over again..." he said, looking up at Harry.
"Jade...I don't want to start over. I didn't think we were doing to bad...until...but anyways, We are friends at the moment, and starting over is something that can't be done after three years..." Midnight said softly as he continued to stroke the tiny serpent. "But I will keep the necklace and eagerly await the next gift of your eight night celebration..." he laughed softly.
"Just remember, the last one is me in nothing but a bow," he said, grinning. "I'd suggest taking me out from under the tree as soon as possible... the needles begin to hurt quickly..." He felt a wave of relief that Harry didn't want him completely out of his life.
Midnight laughed. "I don't think you'd make it under the tree, Laine would kill you first..."
"Who said that I meant the tree in your room? I was talking about the one in the Cafeteria," he said, wiggling his eyebrows.
"Oh yes, Everyone will love that." He said. "No, you won't expose yourself to everyone like that."
"It's a big bow," he replied, mischief glinting in his eyes. "Unless you want to come and unwrap it in my room..."
"Jade..." Harry warned with a firm look before sighed and looking at his hands. "What would you think of going back to Hogwarts without me..." he asked softly.
"Why? I thought you'd be anxious to see Draco... What's changed?" he asked, tilting his head. He was Harry's friend first and foremost.
"Nothing, I want to see him again, I want to see all my friends again...but the council is uncertain if me going back would be safe for anyone. Aqua told me they may not let me go back..." He sighed and slumped alittle. "If they don't let me go back...what am I going to do?"
"They will... they know that you're one of the best War Mage's that we have... Who else could've fought off full grown werewolves by themselves?" he said, smiling. "They will. Don't worry."
Midnight smiled and nodded. "You have a point..."
"Of course I do. Now, finish your desert and come with me. I have a fun filled day of shopping for us to do," he said, grinning and stretching.
Midnight quickly finished his desert and jumped up. "Ok...Ok lets go shopping..."
Ok! You guys we did it! 100! We did it! Yay! Gives cake to everyone

"But Draco," Harry whined as he stood and sighed grumpily. "I'm bored and being in here all the time is not helping, why won't you take me out or something?"
Draco smiled and stood up to gather the Mage into his arms. "Because I want you to get better and all that running around and killing things is bad for that plan," he said. "Tell you what... If you get on some really warm clothes, I'll take you out and fly you around."
Midnight's mind whirled as he thought of how to leave when Draco wasn't looking, but then thought better of it when he realized the trust Draco was putting in him without realizing it.
"Let me see what I have..." He said as he walked over to the wardrobe.
Draco pulled on his white sneakers and avoided looking at Midnight. As Harry got better, sleeping in the same bed with him became more torturous every night. He wanted to take Midnight and keep him forever. He was growing more and more attached to the boy by the day. He sighed quietly as he thought of how the Mage was going to leave in a few short days.
Midnight stripped and began to dress. He put on a pair of silver pants and a long sleeved black turtleneck sweater that was four sizes to big for him and hung down to his knees. He pulled on a pair of black boots with black fur around the top and pulled out a pair of silver earmuffs with a black connector piece.
"Ready Draco?"
Draco nodded and grabbed his broom and coat. He opened the door and assured Cindy that Midnight would stay with him. He smiled at the Mage and led him out to the steps of Hogwarts. There was a light snow falling, and the ground was already covered in thick drifts. He mounted his broom and slid forward to allow Harry enough room to sit comfortably.
Harry smiled and wrapped his arms around Draco when he got on the broom comfortably. "Where to?"
"It's up to you, oh wise Mage. We can't stay out too long, though. I don't want you to get sick," Draco said, slowly moving out into the snowy air. He circled the lake a few times, waiting for Harry to make his decision.
"To the stars..." Midnight said as he closed his eyes and sighed.
Draco smiled and flew slow circles around the lake. He chuckled as he remembered Harry's innuendo of the other day. "How's your balance?" he asked quietly, leaning back into Harry's warmth.
"Want to find out?" Midnight asked with as a wicked smile curled his lips.
"Love to..." Draco said, gently lifting the Mage until Harry sat in front of him. "Are you willing to be mine?"
"Aren't I yours now?" he asked with a chuckle.
"I mean for a long time... I want you so bad it hurts, but I don't want a quick 'hi how are you... lets have sex' thing. Will you be mine for a good long time if not forever?" he asked, kissing Harry's neck softly.
"You don't mind Sonar?" He asked softly as he pulled back and looked deeply into Draco's blue eyes. "You have to tell me yes or no..."
Draco kissed him softly. "No, because I know that you and Sonar have a very good relationship already... you're the one who gave him his full power, and living with Tony made me realize what that means to a Spirit Mage. I just hope he doesn't mind me..." he said, smiling at Harry. "Anyone else, I'd mind, but Sonar's okay..."
Harry smiled and leaned forward, kissing the trainee softly. "Good..."
Draco smiled and wrapped his arms around the Mage's waist. "Shall we retire to your rooms?" he asked, slipping his hand under the Mage's sweater and sliding it over Harry's muscular back.
Midnight chuckled and pressed his body closer to the blonde's. "I thought you wanted to test my balance..."
Draco smiled and slipped his upper body into Harry's sweater, moving to suck on one of his nipples. "I knew I liked this sweater for some reason..." he mumbled, nipping at the boy's skin gently. Draco inhaled Harry's scent as he gently sucked on the boy's nipple, not wanting to hurt his wounds. He held the broom as steady as he could, feeling the temperature in the sweater increase dramatically.
"Mmm...Draco, although I'd love to do this, maybe we can move inside and I can show you my balance in the room." Midnight said with a laugh as the snow began to fall harder.
Draco pulled his head out from under Harry's sweater and chuckled. "Sorry..." he said as he kept one arm around the Mage as he steered the broom back to the castle steps. "Got kind of carried away.."
"I didn't mind and normally I'd say fly higher until the Quidditich pitch was just a small speck, but its going to be a terrible Ice storm and I think we should get in." Midnight said with a smile as he kissed the blonde's neck.
Draco shivered slightly and landed. "I feel sorry for all the kids going to Herbology tomorrow..." he said, allowing Harry to dismount and sliding off the broom himself. He held out his hand to Harry, smiling sweetly at the Mage.
Midnight smiled and stepped into the trainee's arms. "To your room..." he whispered.
With a nod, Draco led them to his room. He opened the door and led Harry in. He was slightly nervous, but true to his Malfoy character he didn't show it. After shutting and locking the door, he turned and kissed Harry gently, wanting the time to last as long as possible.
"Don't worry Draco, its alright...it's all really easy..." Midnight said as he placed his hand on the side of Draco's face and kissed him again.

"Draco, would you stop taking my cloths out of my bag, this really is childish." Midnight said as he folded a black sleeveless shirt for the third time and put it back in the suitcase.
Draco sighed and grinned. "Fine. I surrender," he said, grabbing a shirt and folding it. He laid it in the bag and reached for another one. He looked at his new lover and smiled. It felt good to be closer to the Mage. He'd discovered a lot about Harry that he'd never thought possible.
Harry laughed and pulled a black pair of tights. "Oh god, I thought I burned these..."
Draco rose a single eyebrow. "Tights? Why Potter... I never thought you the tights type," he said dryly, a smirk firmly in place.
Harry laughed again. "I'm not, that's the funny part, Jade stole my cloths once and told me that either I wore tights or I would be naked." He shrugged and threw the tights into the bag.
Draco's expression blanked out. He folded a pair of silver pants and tucked them into the case. He yawned slightly and concentrated on the thought of his upcoming Potion's exam, trying to see the questions.
"He was so upset when he realized I wasn't wearing the tights that I think he turned the color of his hair..." Harry said with a laugh.
"Aqua was thrilled when you walked into the Hall completely naked," Jade said from the doorway, smiling at Harry.
"Oh yes, she was ecstatic...and you were no help, what with your threatening everyone that was looking at me..."
The morning after Harry had been with Draco he had had a long talk with Jade and been very proud that he hadn't killed the older mage. They had agreed to work out their problems, but, on Harry's insistence, they were not to have any physical relationship.
Midnight turned to his former lover. "What do you think?" He asked as he held up a black frilled shirt and a pair of silver pants with black boots.
"Shirt no, everything else, yes," Jade said, smiling. He looked at Draco and felt anger boil inside of him. He'd taken Midnight and made him his own.
Draco looked at the Mage and rose an eyebrow, cool and arrogant. He refused to rise to the man's bait, ignoring his childish glares and snide remarks.
Midnight rolled his eyes and pulled out another shirt. "I swear, Why do I have these pants anyways...I can't find a shirt they go with..."
Draco held up a black sheer poets shirt with silver laces. "How about this one?" he asked, ignoring Jade's sneer.
"Oh goodness...Haven't seen that in a long time..." He smiled and lay the outfit on the bed to examine it. "I like it, thank you..." He smiled at Draco and began to fold the shirt and pants together.
"You're welcome," Draco said, and continued to fold various items of clothes.
"I've come to collect you," Jade said, frowning slightly. He shook his head and smiled again. "It's time to go."
"Well then grab a few more cloths and throw them in the bag while I go get my toothbrush..." Midnight said with a laugh. "No killing each other..." he said as he left.
Draco stepped back and took out his wand and flicked his wrist, causing all of Harry's possessions to neatly place themselves into the suitcase.
"Did you get lost my love?" Jade called with a smile.
Harry's laugh answered him. "No, I decided to get my robe and take it with me, but its in your room, did you pack it?" He asked as he came back into the room and put his toothbrush in-between a few stacks of cloths and zipped the suitcase.
"No. I'm keeping it," Jade said with a smile as he leaned over and kissed Midnight's cheek. He picked up the Mage's suitcase and headed for the door. "Come on, Aqua's waiting," he said as he headed out the door.
"Alright, I'll be out in a moment, I promise." Midnight said with a smile.
Jade nodded and left.
Draco stood and looked Harry in the eye. "If he does anything to you, I'll kill him," he said serious.
Harry laughed and kissed Draco's cheek. "That's a sweet offer, but no killing Jade. He won't do anything, he promised me he wouldn't."
Draco pulled the Mage into his arms and kissed him deeply. "I'm going to miss you," he said, sighing and releasing Harry. "If you need anything, send me an owl."
"I'll be fine, don't worry about me, I'll be fine, I'll be back before you know it." Midnight said as he kissed the trainee again and moved away, heading for the door.
Draco watched him leave and sighed softly. "Why do I not believe you?" he mumbled, getting up and going back to his room to try to write his father again. Draco had been trying to owl him for weeks, but hadn't been getting a response.
Midnight sighed as he walked beside Jade. He knew something was going to go wrong, he just knew it.
"What's wrong?" Jade asked, tilting his head with concern.
"I don't like this...I have a feeling something is wrong and I can't figure it out..."Harry replied as he stretched and pulled on his braid.
Jade smiled and poked Harry's stomach playfully. "Did you leave the cauldron on?" he teased, referring to the time that Harry had left it on and started the whole potions lab on fire.
"Oh ha ha, that's was just as much you fault..." Midnight commented as he flipped his braid behind him. "No, and if I did Snape deserves it..."
Jade laughed and shifted Harry's suitcase. He rounded a bend and said, "As I recall, you were the one that grabbed me first," he said.
Midnight smiled and recalled that day clearly. "So it was, but did you ever think of saying no?" He asked with a laugh.
"I can never say no to you when you ask me for that..." Jade said, grinning and taking Harry's hand.
"Teddy..." Midnight warned as he looked at their joined hands.
Jade reluctantly pulled his hand away and sighed, looking at the portraits lining the hall. He shifted the suitcase again, giving himself something to do. "I'm sorry..." he mumbled, turning another corner. He felt guilt wash over him again. "It really was stupid of me and I hope you can forgive me one day..."
"One day Teddy, but I won't forgive you like that, not anytime soon..." Harry said softly, looking at his feet as they walked. When they reached Aqua, Midnight smiled and moved to stand by his roommate.
Theodore nodded and stood near Bloodlust. He transported with the rest and followed Harry to he and Quicksilver's rooms to get his stuff out of them. "Will you have dinner with me tonight?" he asked Harry, falling into step beside the Mage and his roommate.
Midnight nodded and smiled softly. "Of course...what shall I wear?"
He smiled at the older mage and winked as he unlocked his door and opened it. "You want your stuff don't you..." He whispered.
After letting Quicksilver pass, he stood in the doorway. "Not if you don't want it out of there..." he said, looking deep into Midnight's silver eyes. "I just didn't think that you'd want to see any of my things..."
"I..." Midnight gazed deep into Jade's green eyes and sighed. He wanted Jade, He loved Jade with all of his hear, but he couldn't stop thinking about Draco and the boy's love for him. He knew he could grow to love Draco...there was potential, but did he want it...
Midnight sighed. "I...think that would be best...you're right, I'm very upset at you..." he whispered.
"I'll get it later..." he said, turning to leave. "I do still love you, Harry..." He closed the door softly and started down the corridor towards his own rooms.
"I know..."Harry whispered softly, "I still love you too..."
Jade returned at six that same day and knocked at Harry's door. He was wearing a pair of tight green pants and a magenta tank-top with a green over-shirt. He waited, tugging nervously at the cuffs of his shirt.
Quicksilver opened the door with a bounce and stopped when she saw who it was. "Oh, it's you..." She flicked one of her white pigtails out of her eyes and rose her eyebrow. "What do you want?"
"I'm here to pick Harry up for dinner. He agreed to come," he replied, trying to smile but failing miserably.
"I don't know why..." She said as she turned and walked back to her bed, adjusting her short gray cargo skirt and white tube top as he went. "You know, if you weren't on my team, I'd kill you for hurting him..."
Jade looked at the floor and moved to sit on Harry's bed. "Where is he, by the way?" he asked, looking around the room.
"In the bathroom...he'll be out in a moment..." She then set about ignoring the other mage until Midnight arrived.
Harry straightened his shirt and sighed once more. He was wearing a silver silk shirt and a pair of black pants with a pair black boots with silver laces. He couldn't help but think that he looked frumpy as he exited the bathroom and turned off the light. He jumped slightly when he saw Jade sitting on his bed.
Jade gave the Mage a smile as he stood. "You look lovely," he said quietly, eyes tracing every line that the elegant clothing revealed and hid at the same time.
Midnight smiled his thanks and gave a glance to his roommate. "See ya Laine..."
Jade opened the door for Harry as Hellaine rose her eyebrow and scowled slightly. "I liked the blonde more," she said before turning and poking at her pillow.
Jade's smile faded slightly, but he offered Harry his arm anyways. "Where do you want to go? The Cafeteria... or the Cafeteria?"
Harry smiled and took the arm. "The Cafeteria sounds lovely..." He laughed and headed off that way.
Jade laid his hand over Harry's and smiled at the Mage. "So, what's your next assignment?" he asked once they were seated around a small booth.
"The council hasn't given me one...I think our group might get a break for awhile..." Midnight replied as he picked up the menu and looked it over. "Do you have one?"
"Not yet... I think they might make me an instructor and give me a student, though," he replied, smiling happily.
"That's a frightening prospect..." Midnight said with a laugh. "I pity your student...They'll turn out like Fred and Gorge..."
Jade laughed, remembering Harry tell him about the twins that he'd known at Hogwarts. "At least they'd be more interesting than some of the Mage's here, and they'd kick some major ass," he said, grinning.
Harry laughed and placed his order when a girl from the kitchens came over to them.
Jade ordered the chicken. "Feeling brave today?" he asked when Harry ordered the Special.
"Oh yes, I might be able to show the Potion Mages how to make it edible one day..." Midnight said with a chuckle. "So...Have you seen Spirit Mage Nightwish?" He asked with a smile.
"Not yet," Jade answered, smiling. "I heard that he's going back to Hogwarts, though. His roommate is still training there, and he wanted to be stationed with our team."
"Yeah, he'll be coming back with us at the end of the holiday...so..." Midnight night grinned. "What did you get me for Christmas?"
"Myself wearing a bow on..." he said, smiling at their old joke. "Well, lets just say that you'll like taking the bow off."
"Unfortunately, that present won't be opened...I'm still angry at its sender, but I'll put it away until I'm not." He said with a sigh.
Jade nodded. "So, what are you getting me for Christmas besides a poison turkey?" he asked as he accepted the plate from the waitress.
"An engraved bracelet that sucks the life out of its wearer..." Midnight replied with a laugh as he looked at the mound of peach and green slop on his plate surrounded by shriveled orange lumps that Harry assumed had been carrots at one time.
Jade rose an eyebrow at the plate. "Hence the 'grave' part in engraved?" he joked, sliding his plate closer to Midnight to allow the Mage to have some.
Midnight sighed and began to eat from Jade's plate slowly. "Oh yes, burial plot and all..."
"Well then, you won't get my present, now will you?" Jade asked, trying to cheer the boy up. "Midnight, what's wrong? You seem down..."
"Nothing," He replied. "I'm just still exhausted..." He smiled weakly and continued to eat.
"Do you want to go back to your room after this?" he asked, concern in his jade green eyes. Despite how he'd betrayed the boy, he still loved Harry very much.
Midnight nodded. "My head is hurting...it would be best..." he replied as he leaned back slightly. "So really, what did you get me?"
"I can't tell," Jade said, smiling. "Well, I can hint. It involved your favorite color and an object." He grinned and looked smug.
"You have one twisted mind Teddy, but I won't tell you either so I guess its fair..." He laughed and stood when he couldn't eat anymore. "Are you done?"
"Yes," Jade said, standing and offering Midnight his arm. He smiled. "Well, you could at least give me a hint..."
"It's your favorite color and you can hold it..." He replied with a laugh, emulating Jade's earlier words.
"You? Oh... what a lovely gift... I shall be by tomorrow to pick it up for lunch at noon," he said, kissing Midnight's hand as they reached Harry's room.
"You are weird and are just trying to win me back..." Harry stated mater-of- factly as he smiled and turned to open his door, trying to ignore the happy feelings inside at the thought of Jade still loving him.
Jade held onto Midnight's hand, stopping him. "Harry... I was a fool... I had you every day and I didn't even realize what I had. I love you... and always will. I hope that one day you will forgive me and we can go back to how we were in the beginning. I know it doesn't mean much... but you still have my heart and always will..." he said, the last words scarcely louder than a whisper.
Harry looked at Theodore for a moment and gave his hand a soft squeeze before opening the door and entering his room, watching Jade the entire time he closed the door.
Draco looked at the ceiling in his room and sighed quietly. He'd had a vision that day of Harry and Jade laying in bed together, their bodies twined at they slept. He sat up, angry at himself for ever believing the boy-who-lived and marched out of his room to go to the Slytherin Common room. He sat in a chair and brooded silently, pretending to read a potion's book.
Pansy blinked when she saw the blonde boy and sighed as she walked over to him and wrapped her arms around his shoulders. "Draco-baby, what's wrong my love?"
Draco leaned back into his friend's arms. "You ever feel like your insides were becoming your outsides... your outsides were becoming your insides... just...pain... lots and lots of pain..." he replied, setting the book down with a sigh.
"Love...it's a bitch..." Pansy said as she took his book and turned it so that it was readable. "Let me guess...it's your War Mage isn't it..." She smiled when Vincent and Gregory came and sat on the couch next to one another as Millicent and R.I.P. followed.
"You don't even want to hear about it...You know, sometimes I wish that I could just go out and have some completely unattached sex..." he said, seeing Basil enter the Common room and moved over to Vincent.
Pansy looked at Basil and then back to Draco and frowned. "No," she said firmly. "But why? I thought you two were getting along famously...has something happened?" She asked as she looked down at her friend.
"We had different views...," Draco replied with a shrug. "I saw us as a couple, and he didn't."
"I'm confused..." She said, "Did he tell you this? Did he tell you he didn't want to be with you? That he wanted to break up?"
R.I.P. leaned forward. "Who would he be with anyways? He is still totally furious at Jade for whatever he did..."
Draco shrugged. "Well, I'm putting a notice on the board tomorrow... 'Wanted: Boy interested in UNATTACHED boy for a little fun with no strings attached. See Draco Malfoy for details.' I'm going to bed... I'll see you all in Potion's tomorrow..." he said, standing and starting towards the door.
Basil smiled and winked at Pansy as he started after the blonde boy.
"Draco, Wait..." he called as he wrapped an arm around the boys waist and turned him around. "Draco...we may not be on the best terms...after what I did...but I think we should talk..."
Draco sighed quietly. "Basil... I'm really tired..." he said with a small yawn. "What is it?"
"I think you should give you mage the benefit of the doubt before you do something drastic...I know you well and know that when you set you mind to something like revenge, there is only one out come...and it's usually not good." He sighed and let go of the boy. "But I know if I had you back, even for a moment...I'd tell you how much I loved you and worship you every second...I know he feels the same way...He isn't even here to defend himself. Wait to be upset..."
Basil stroked Draco's cheek softly and smiled at him. "I'm so sorry for all I did to you...you were and are the best thing that has ever entered my world of black..." with that Basil flashed the blonde a soft smiled and walked away and disappeared up the dormitory stairs.
Draco sighed quietly and watched the brunette disappear up the stairs. "It'd be nice to feel like I'm appreciated more..." he thought out loud, turning and going back to his rooms to stare at the ceiling again and contemplate the mess he'd made of his life.
After an hour, he gave up and tried to write another letter to his father, who still hadn't replied. 'I hope he's okay...' Draco thought, tying the letter to the leg of a school owl and sending it off.
Jade smiled at Harry across the table from him. "I have a surprise for you," he said.
They were having lunch a week after they'd arrived and Jade had made it a point to show the young war mage how much he loved him.
"Oh?" Midnight asked as he looked up and pushed a stray lock of black hair behind his ear. "What is it? Another one of your attempts at bad poetry?" He asked with a teasing laugh.
Jade faked a hurt look. "No... actually, it was this," he said, holding up a silver necklace that was really one long silver serpent with emerald eyes. He pressed the snake's head and it released it's tail from it's mouth, opening it. "But since you don't want it..."
Midnight looked at it with a sense of awe. "Oh Teddy...but I can't take that...it's to expensive..." he continued to gaze at the beautiful necklace. "I wish I could...I do...but it wouldn't be right..."
"You're right, you can't take this... you insulted my poetry," Theodore teased, sniffing and looking hurt. He stood up and walked around behind Harry. Gently, he lifted the Mage's mass of heavy hair and draped the serpent around Midnight's neck. Immediately, the serpent gave a soft hiss and bit it's tale again, clasping. "Consider it an early Christmas present with more to follow. I'm Jewish. It's Hanukah..." he joked, kissing Midnight's neck softly before going back to his seat.
Harry touched the delicate serpent's body and smiled. "Lotus is going to be amused by this..." He said as he sighed. "But...I'm dating Draco, I can't..." He said mournfully.
He felt strongly for Draco, love might even cover it...he wasn't sure, but he knew he loved Jade, no matter if he was angry or not. Nothing could stop him from loving the green-eyed mage.
Jade looked down and fidgeted with his hands. "I know... just think of it as a peace offering between friends... Let's start all over again..." he said, looking up at Harry.
"Jade...I don't want to start over. I didn't think we were doing to bad...until...but anyways, We are friends at the moment, and starting over is something that can't be done after three years..." Midnight said softly as he continued to stroke the tiny serpent. "But I will keep the necklace and eagerly await the next gift of your eight night celebration..." he laughed softly.
"Just remember, the last one is me in nothing but a bow," he said, grinning. "I'd suggest taking me out from under the tree as soon as possible... the needles begin to hurt quickly..." He felt a wave of relief that Harry didn't want him completely out of his life.
Midnight laughed. "I don't think you'd make it under the tree, Laine would kill you first..."
"Who said that I meant the tree in your room? I was talking about the one in the Cafeteria," he said, wiggling his eyebrows.
"Oh yes, Everyone will love that." He said. "No, you won't expose yourself to everyone like that."
"It's a big bow," he replied, mischief glinting in his eyes. "Unless you want to come and unwrap it in my room..."
"Jade..." Harry warned with a firm look before sighed and looking at his hands. "What would you think of going back to Hogwarts without me..." he asked softly.
"Why? I thought you'd be anxious to see Draco... What's changed?" he asked, tilting his head. He was Harry's friend first and foremost.
"Nothing, I want to see him again, I want to see all my friends again...but the council is uncertain if me going back would be safe for anyone. Aqua told me they may not let me go back..." He sighed and slumped alittle. "If they don't let me go back...what am I going to do?"
"They will... they know that you're one of the best War Mage's that we have... Who else could've fought off full grown werewolves by themselves?" he said, smiling. "They will. Don't worry."
Midnight smiled and nodded. "You have a point..."
"Of course I do. Now, finish your desert and come with me. I have a fun filled day of shopping for us to do," he said, grinning and stretching.
Midnight quickly finished his desert and jumped up. "Ok...Ok lets go shopping..."
