I let go of his hand the second they came into view. He looked at me, surprised. I didn't look at him. I didn't feel anything. I walked to the bottom of the staircase and looked at the floor. Dudley was glaring at me. I could feel it.

"Are you ready to go?" Petunia asked in an alarmingly false happy voice.

"Actually, I was wondering if I could have a word?" Lucius asked, raising a brow at Vernon. "Just you and I?"

"Um..yes, of course." Vernon said moving to go with Lucius.

"Boys, why don't you take Dudley and make sure everything's all set for when Harry gets back?" Lucius said. Draco nodded and beconed for us to follow him.

Dudley stood near his mother.

"I'd rather not." He said.

"Suite yourself." Draco said. He started up the stairs and I followed him.

We made it barely to the landing before he turned to me and kissed me full on the mouth. I tensed up and he pulled away grinning.

What if they saw that? Harry asked.

"Oh well." Draco said, taking my hand and leading me down to a room beside his.

"Technically, this is your room." Draco said, opening the door. "I don't expect it'll get much use." He added when I raised a brow disbelievingly. "After all..my bed is big enough for six people. I think that, even if you didn't want to be right next to me, there would be room."

I grinned a bit. He pulled me over to the bed.

"Harry, I'm going to go with you." Draco said.

"No." I whispered. He leaned in close to me and kissed my lips softly.

"You don't understand, Harry. My dad has quite a few tricks up his sleeve." Draco said. I snuggled against him.

The door opened. A man in a black tux came in and smiled.

"Mr. Malfoy, your father says to pack your things." He said.

"I told you." Draco said, jumping up and tugging me along to his room.

He packed everything he wanted to bring quickly and efficiently..it all fit in one small travel bag. I was fidgetting. I didn't want him to go. Uncle Vernon was downright nast..even to some of Dudley's friends. God only knows what he'd do to Draco..He turned to me suddenly. I was just standing there, staring at my shoes. He walked over to where I was leaning against the door and put a hand against the door beside my head. I looked up at him and our lips collided almost immeadiately. This kiss was a bit more rough that what I was used to. His hand had moved behind my head so he could pull me closer. Somehow his tongue got in my mouth. He teased mine gently and I was lost in how wonderful it all was. My arms locked around his neck and he was pulling my body closer to his..

There was a knock at the door. He let go reluctantly and I pouted a bit but got out of the way of the door for fear that the person on the other side might grow impatient. Draco pulled the door open and let his father in. Lucius raised a brow at me and I blushed. My cloths were all wrinkled and twisted and my hair was an even bigger mess than usual. Draco didn't look much better.

"Well..I've arranged to keep the two of you until dinner, then I'll be bringing you over. Vernon said something about not expecting a guest and how he needed to clean up a bit." Lucius said. Draco nodded. "I'll leave you two alone now."

He winked at Draco on his way out. I felt a heavy blush staining my cheeks. Draco turned to me.

"Sorry about that.." Draco said, looking embarrassed. "I won't..I won't do it again."

I tilted my head, realizing what he was talking about. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him softly. His eyes widened slightly and he kissed me back just as gently. I kissed him more roughly and he went right along with it. He pulled me over to the bed and we rolled onto it, him making sure his weight never fell full onto me.

He hovered over me and kissed me over and over. I was watching him carefully, trying to seal his lips to mine. He pressed himself against me and smiled.

"I do love you." Draco said. I smiled up at him.

"I l-love you t-too." I said. He smirked a bit.

"Enough to trust in me that you won't get hurt unless they go through me on this vacation?" Draco asked.

"I d-d-d-d-d" I struggled a bit under him. He got off of me and took my hands in his.

"Just sign, baby." He said, releasing my hands.

I don't want you to get hurt because of me, Panda! I signed anxiously. If they punish me just please stay out of it.

"No." He said. He kissed me softly.

I started rocking a bit. He looked at me worriedly. I leaned against him. He held me until it was time for dinner, then he held my hand under the table through the meal. We went up to his room and got his stuff and then went out to the car. Narcissa smiled widely at us, hugging us each in turn, me more gently than him. I hugged her back timidly, smiling shyly up at her when she let go. She smiled even wider and kissed the top of my head. I leaned against Draco shyly. I wasn't used to adults treating me that way. Not since..my mom.
