Part 12
Draco raced through the halls towards the headmaster's office. He needed to get this over with. Standing in front of the gargoyle he realized that the headmaster never gave him the password. He had no idea what it could be. He sat there pondering for a while trying different potions and spells but with no luck. He would have stayed out there for a very long time if Snape had not walked up to him.
"What are you doing here Mr. Malfoy."
"I need to see the headmaster, Sir. I just received a letter from my father about a plot against Harry." Snape raised an eyebrow at the mention of Draco calling Harry by his first name, but nodded and told the gargoyle the password.
"Strawberry liquorish." At seeing Draco's questioning looks he proceeded to explain. "The headmaster always has a type of muggle candy for his password." Draco just filed that away for future reference. He proceeded up the stairs with Snape behind him.
Once at the top of the stairs he knocked and upon hearing the headmasters call walked in and took a seat with Snape sitting to his left. "What brings you here today Mr. Malfoy."
"Sir I have received a letter from my father regarding a plot against Harry." At Dumbldore nod he proceeded to read the letter out loud.
Draco,
The dark lord has asked me to pass on a mission for you, and you had better not fail. I need not remind you of how you disgraced yourself in the eyes of our lord the last time. He has commanded you to make sure that Potter is at Hogsmead this weekend. We do not care how you do it, but he had better be there, for your sake.
Lucious Malfoy
P.S. Come to the manor after his capture but be subtle as to not bring attention to yourself from that mudblood lover Dumbledore.
He had debated whether to tell the Dumbeldore that last bit about him being a mudblood lover but decided not to leave anything out. He looked at the headmaster waiting for his response. "I see. we will need to find a way to keep Mr. Potter in the castle this weekend." Draco interrupted him.
"Sir I can handle that. I told Harry that I wanted to spend a little time with him this weekend at the castle. I will keep him at the castle. The main worry is what to do about Hogsmead. We know there will be deatheaters there."
Dumbledore nodded. "I don't think we have much to worry about. Voldemort is not yet powerful enough to alert the ministry to himself. What do you think Severus?"
"I agree with you Albus, I do not believe that they will attack the general population. Sounds like they are just after Potter this time. Though we have neglected one point. If Draco does not get Harry to go to Hogsmead this weekend he will be looking at a harsh punishment. I do not see how we can avoid this." He looked over at Draco with unmistakable concern in his eyes.
Draco nodded. He was very aware of that. Just the thought of the crucio curse again made his skin shiver. But he would do anything for Harry. That was the whole reason for this in the first place. "I will be fine. I will survive."
Snape looked like he wanted to argue this point, but before he could he was interrupted by Dumbledore. "If you are sure then Mr. Malfoy. Tell your father that Mr. Potter had a detention from me when you see him this weekend. Hopefully that will lessen your punishment." Snape just snorted. He was aware how things worked. Draco's punishment would not be any less. But he did not say anything because he could see the determination in Draco's eyes. He silently prayed that Harry would never hurt Draco.
After leaving the headmaster's office Draco went in search of Harry. He looked all over the place. He tried the quiditch field, the Astronomy Tower, and the Great Hall. He was trying to think of were the Gryffindor common rooms were. He remembered someone saying they were on the 3rd floor behind a fat lady in a pink dress. With that in mind he started off for the third floor.
Once there he started walking up and down the halls looking for the painting. He found it tucked in the corner. He walked up the painting. The fat lady gave him a look before speaking. "Password?"
"Umm. I don't know the password, I just wanted to ask you a question." At the paintings nod he continued. "Do you know if Harry is in there?"
"No he is not."
"Can you give him a message?" He must have said the wrong thing since the fat lady's face was starting to turn red.
"What do I look like to you, a secretary? I tell you. You kids come up here all the time harassing me asking me to deliver messages." Draco was starting to get mad himself.
"LISTEN, I did NOT mean it as an order I was just ASKING you." Stupid bitch. He turned and started stopping off. He only got halfway down the hall when he collided with someone. Looking up he noticed that it was Harry.
"Insulting paintings now are you Draco?" Draco bristled at that.
"I was not insulting her. I just asked her to give you a message and the bitch went ape on me." Harry was giving him a smirk, which only agitated Draco more. Fine take her side. Draco crossed his arms and just stood there. Harry walked up and put his arms around Draco's waist and started to lean in for a kiss, but Draco put his head to his side.
"Oh god Draco. you look so cute when you are pouting." What did Harry think he was? Malfoy's do not pout. He turned to give Harry a piece of his mind, but was stopped from speaking by lips pressing into his. He sat there and savored the kiss allowing Harry entrance into his mouth. Harry tasted a little like caramel. Draco loved the taste.
After a few minutes Harry pulled away and looked at Draco who was just standing there with a goofy smile on his face. Draco shook his head and addressed Harry. "What was I just saying?" Draco pondered for a moment. He knew he was mad at Harry about something. He just couldn't remember. Damn Potter. He did that on purpose. He decided that he might as well yell at him about that then. How dare he keep distracting him like that. As soon as he opened his mouth though Harry's lips claimed his again.
Again he found Harry's tongue assaulting his. They kissed until they were both breathless. Draco stood there after again with a goofy grin. What was he thinking? "Damnit Harry stop that. You are doing that on purpose. I am trying to yell at you."
Harry gave Draco an amused smile. "Sorry about that Draco. What did you want to yell at me about?"
Draco opened his mouth but then stopped. What was he going to yell at Harry about? "I don't remember. Oh well. come on, lets go find somewhere a little more private." Draco grabbed Harry's arm and started dragging him towards one of the empty classrooms. If he looked at Harry he would have noticed a smirk on his face, and he would have heard Harry mumble.
"Works every time."
TBC.
