HARRY POV
"Draco, Draco! What is your problem? Why are you running away?" I yelled after him in frustration, holding Analise tightly to me. If I didn't have her with me I would have run after him, but I wouldn't risk dropping her, or having her wake up and start wailing in the middle of the corridor. It was after Muggle Studies and usually we walk with each other for a while, until we have to go separate ways. He had been doing that for the past week though, but I…I just thought he was having a hard time and didn't want to disturb him. He had been coming to our dorm late, he had been putting pillows between us when he did come in to sleep, he always rushed off after classes we had together, he never ate lunch with me anymore, he always ate with the Slytherins, and he didn't really talk to me in classes we did have together.
"Where did he go?" Hermione asked quietly, she had told Ron to go ahead with the others; she would walk with me today. "He went to…His next class I presume." I answered her with a frown, holding the doll closely to me. "I know that Harry but… I didn't mean where he went physically, have you two been… Fighting or something? I've noticed that he has been avoiding you, we all have, and we don't understand since you haven't really told anybody. You know you can talk to us though, right? That's why I stayed behind, so you can talk to me." She whispered with half a smile on her face. I looked at her and swallowed, looking around. "Do we… Do we have to go to class?" I asked her in a meek voice, I was expecting her to leave, saying that I could miss class if I wanted to but she was not going to. She nodded her head slowly. "Of course Harry, come on."
We went back to the common room for the eighth years; I had her hold Analise as I went upstairs to grab something. I found… A letter, it was all ripped up and all, the shreds of paper thrown under the bed but it wasn't hard to put it back together, it was like Draco wanted me to find it and maybe… He did. I was confused by it, and hadn't had the chance to talk to him about it as he always made a quick getaway and he would only talk to me about school stuff in classes, nothing more or less. It wasn't from me, and the letter was all a lie, I didn't think he would ever believe a jealous git before talking to me but I came to realize…He obviously had or we would be talking and laughing about it. I ran back downstairs and crumbled on the couch, a sad look on my face as Hermione and I exchanged what was in our hands. I rocked my baby softly as Hermione read over it.
"Oh Harry…You need to tell him that you don't feel this way, that…This, wasn't from you, that you do love him and it isn't a big mistake. You two are wonderful together and, whoever this person is, whoever wrote this, is just jealous of something wonderful you two have, and they are just trying to break you two up, and right now they are doing a pretty good job of it, you have to talk to him." She told me, standing up with the letter. "Take it, tomorrow in class…You will talk to him, you need to go clear it with Professor Kelson first. After tomorrow, after you have this letter with you and explain to Draco how you really feel and that this isn't true, then I want you to burn this up. I want you to burn this and just…Get rid of it, don't think back on it. I also want you to make sure that if Draco ever thinks back on it, and he thinks that it ever could be true well…One, I want you to slap him, for me, and then two I want you to reassure him that you will always love him." She said with a smile on her face.
I nodded my head slowly and stood up, giving her a half hug, being careful not to hurt Analise in the process of the hug. "You know, I am really glad to have you as one of my best friends." I whispered softly as she pulled away, a smirk on her face. "I know, you are really lucky to have such a wonderful, smart, talented, beautiful friend like me." She said letting out a laugh as she quickly gathered her things to leave the common room. I half smiled and shook my head as I followed slowly behind her, needing to get to my next class, I had a test. "Oh, yes, and she is just so modest to." I chuckled, once I knew that she had already left. I smiled and saw that Analise was waking up. "Hello there darling." I whispered softly as I kissed her forehead, slipping out of the room. Once I left the room I started putting a plan in motion, a plan on how to get Draco to understand that the note was stupid and it will never, ever be true.
Before dinner I went back to Professor Kelson's classroom. I needed to discuss some things with her. Draco only stayed with me for a few seconds, so he could get our child from me, before scurrying off. I wasn't going to bother with him tonight, no, that's what class would be for the next day. "Excuse me, professor? Can I have a word with you?" I asked politely as I walked into the classroom, seeing her at her desk with papers. She looked up and nodded her head, conjuring up a chair beside her. "How may I help you Harry?" She asked politely as I sat down. "Well, Draco… Draco is being insecure and I have a way to fix it I just, I need your permission to speak during class, to take away the class period so I can guarantee something to him?" I asked nervously. She looked at me, intrigued, and gestured to continue. "Before you say no, let me tell you something, it's…It will help our family. You want our family to grow and prosper without any pent up emotions and problems in it right?" I asked her, and she grinned knowingly. "Mr. Potter you have gotten my attention, continue." She said and I grinned in satisfaction, starting to tell her all about what I had in store.
DRACO POV
It was the start of Muggle Studies and I was sitting down beside Harry. I had been avoiding him as much as I could, and it was hard to, I missed talking to him. It was very lonely. I didn't talk to any of them, not Ron or Seamus, nor Hermione or Ginny, no one. I had been sitting at the Slytherin table for the past week but I've been sitting alone, not wanting to get back in the ways I had for the first seven years at Hogwarts, I didn't want to become a Slytherin again, at least not a cruel, selfish, one. Class had just started and Harry stood up. I was starting to freak out, was there a presentation? I scanned my brain for an answer, but nothing came up, she didn't say anything either, I was confused.
I looked up as I saw Harry clear his throat and stood up on Professor Kelson's desk. Professor Kelson stood aside wand walked to the door, leaning on it, obviously okay with what Harry was doing. What the bloody hell was going on? Harry pulled something from his robes, a taped letter? Was that the letter I had torn up and thrown under the bed? My face paled as I watched him. What the hell? Where did he find that? No, that was an idiotic question, obviously I knew where he found it, but why did he have it? Why was he clearing his throat? Was he… Oh Merlin he was starting to read it.
I felt my throat close up when he finished the letter; he was looking at me, a frown on his face. "Ginny, would you take the baby from him for a few minutes?" Harry asked from where he was standing and Ginny nodded her head, standing up quickly and taking Analise from me before I dropped her. "Draco…Can you please come here?" He asked me and it didn't really register. I blinked a few times and he cleared his throat. I jumped up and looked towards the door, noticing the Professor Kelson was standing by the door still, so that's why she was standing there! So I couldn't run from the room! I stood there, frozen, before Ron got up and let out a sigh, rolling his eyes, as he pushed me, making me let out a gasp and stumble.
My eyes widened as I walked towards him, shaky, I looked at him and opened my mouth to yell at him but no words came out. He crouched some and held out his hands, to pull me up beside him. I put my hands in his and he pulled me up, wrapping an arm around my shoulders as he pulled me close, not letting me get away. "Excuse me everyone, I have a question…Just, one little question. How many of you think Draco and I am not a good couple? That we should have never become one, that I'm using him, that I'm just being polite and nice to him? Raise your hands; honestly, I won't be offended." Harry called out to the class; no one's hands went up. "And who disagrees with whoever wrote this?" I asked quietly, not expecting anyone to have their hands raised, I lowered my eyes. To my surprise, when I looked back up, everyone was raising their hands, some higher than others but they were all raised. Even Professor Kelson had her hand raised. I looked at Harry; he had his hand raised high, and looking at me, his eyes boring into me as if that would help me believe him anymore.
"Harry, Draco, I think you two are very cute and you two can last a long time if you work out your differences like this. But that is not why I'm making this outburst. I have some…Interesting news." Ginny called out as she stood up, going towards the front of the classroom. She looked at the letter and then closed her eyes deep in thought, what was going on? "Yes, Hermione, I think you are quite right. Bring that up here with you." She called out. Harry and I frowned in confusion as we looked from Ginny to Hermione. Hermione leaned over and snatched something from Lavender and Lavender let out a wail and a cry. Hands trying to claw Hermione, trying to grab the letter from her. Hermione was running to the front of the room though, and Ron was slowing Lavender down, grabbing her wrist. "Ms. Brown please control yourself, I would really like to hear what Ms. Granger and Ms. Weasley has to say. Control yourself this very instant or I will have to force you to leave this room. Mr. Weasley, you can now let Ms. Brown go, she can go sit down at her desk again." Ms. Kelson said, giving the whore a look. Lavender backed down and sat down, bowing her head.
"So Harry, when you showed me that note I was… Wondering about it. I mean, that handwriting looked very familiar to me and it was gnawing at my brain. I had to tell Ginny about the note and she had an idea who it was. Tell them who you thought it was Gin." Hermione said, looking at her best girl friend. "I suggested Lavender Brown, but Hermione said it was rude to start suggesting people before we had any evidence. So today we saw her passing notes to Pavarti, and, it was weird really. Hermione just glanced over and suggested that we grab it, to compare it. But we all know Hermione, it clicked in her mind immediately, she knew it was the handwriting. Can I see the letter please Harry?" Ginny asked Harry as emotions flooded over me. Harry quickly handed over the letter and Hermione put the note that wasn't signed by the conversation by Pavarti and Lavender. "And as we can all see, it is an exact match." Hermione said with a smirk. Everyone turned to glare at the girl and her face was red, class ended and she ran out of the room, first out of there.
Harry got down from the desk and held out his arms. I grinned meekly at him and I jumped down, grabbing his hands. Everyone filed out of the room and I grabbed his hand. On our way out Professor Kelson gave us our baby and we walked silently. "Why would you believe that letter?" Harry asked after a few minutes, we were just walking now, not going to his class or mine. "I-I don't know, I got it and…I don't know, it all made sense to me. I already thought on my own that you couldn't like me." I answered with a frown.
"You shouldn't believe things that don't come directly from me." He told me, kissing the tip of my nose. "You know right after our honeymoon, well, if that's what we were supposed to call it?" He asked me suddenly. I looked at him in confusion and nodded my head. "Well… I got a letter that was signed from you and I knew, I knew that letter you got looked familiar. It looked like she was trying to break us up from the very beginning, that's why the next day I was acting so cold to you." He whispered, giving me a weak smile. I let out a laugh, rolling my eyes as I gave him the baby. "And who needs to not believe things that don't come directly from someone else?" I asked innocently and he stuck his tongue out me, a blush starting to form on his face. "You take the baby to class with you and we'll talk about this later okay?" I asked sweetly, seeing her start to wake up. I kissed his cheek quickly and then pulled away. I could tell he was starting to open his mouth and object but I shook my head, plugging my ears, before starting to skip away happily.
HARRY POV
Draco and I had been fine since Muggle Studies, and I really missed him, we both really missed each other and everyone noted how happy we were. We sat at lunch with each other, and people actually came up and congratulated us, on what, we weren't sure they just said congratulations. The news had come out that Lavender was trying to break us up and really, a lot of people hated her for it. It was strange; she was treated as a Slytherin, not a Gryffindor. She should have been treated lower. No one wanted to talk to her, to look at her, to even be associated with her. In my opinion, she deserved it, in Draco's opinion, well, in his nicer opinion she needed to go burn in hell, plus a few extra things that I would not mention to everyone else.
After dinner we were all upstairs in the common room laughing and joking around. Neville, Luna, Hermione, Ron, Seamus, Ginny, the four babies, Draco, and I were all in the common room although Ginny would have to leave soon, as she was a seventh year. She was getting up with the baby and Hermione cleared her throat, handing me to the letter. "Guys, Harry promised me something and… I'd like you all to be witnesses to it." She said as she gestured towards the fire. I grinned and nodded my head in response, walking over to the fire in the common room. "Draco, you will never have this to doubt us ever again." I whispered as I crumpled it up, tore it into pieces, and threw the pieces in the fire. My friends grinned, looking from me to Draco, clapping softly. Draco was sitting next to Luna and she nudged him, urging him to get up and join me.
I saw Draco nod his head and roll his eyes in annoyance as he got up, walking over to me with a smile. "I won't ever, ever, doubt you again. I won't believe something like that again unless you tell me, which you better not. Ever or there will be hell to pay Potter." He chuckled before giving me a kiss. He was so warm, I knew then that I loved him; at least, I thought I loved him. I pulled away and saw Ron making a gagging expression and I laughed, pulling Draco to me. "Well I'd love to stay and chat some more, but curfew will be enforced some and I cannot stay up here, unfortunately, night all." Ginny said, waving to everyone except Seamus, who she gave a quick kiss to before heading out of the room.
Everyone started going upstairs to their dorms and I watched them. I had Draco bring down the crib and the food and such, putting it down beside the couch. He brought down a blanket and pillow as well. "Thank you." I smiled, kissing him quickly before I put Analise in the crib, making sure she was asleep. I tucked her in and nodded my head, making sure she would be alright before I lay down on the couch. Draco curled up beside me, we barely fit on the couch but we would make it work. He covered us with the blanket he had brought down; it was his, before I closed my eyes and felt asleep. Finally, I knew everything would be alright between us and the rest of the year, the little bit that was left, would be smooth sailing.
