Hello, fellow readers and writers! Here is a new chapter, naturally. Because I got some lovely reviews, here is a bit of a longer chapter. Want the same next time? Sure, all you have to do is REVIEW! :D :D

Before the chapter, here is the reply to Natalie Neko! – I was aiming for a bit of a softer chapter, haha. I can't have it all dark! I'm glad you enjoyed the talk between Puri and Moony, I loved writing that part. I am a bit of a wild animal enthusiast myself! xD Wolves and foxes are my favourite animal. :3 I felt a little bad for Sirius while writing the Snupin scene myself, because I absolutely love Remus/Sirius, which will be included in my next story (yes, I am already planning it). And you are welcome for me replying! Here you are again. I am glad you are enjoying translating this, and I hope you continue to do so. I hope you enjoy this chapter too!

Now that has been done, enjoy chapter seven!

oOo

"Draco? Hello? Wake up!"

Draco groaned and clutched at his covers. He didn't want to get up, surely he had not been asleep long enough to do so…

"DRACO, GET UP GODDAMNIT!" He was startled out of his sleepy state by Pansy shaking him roughly. He pushed her off and got out of bed.

"God Pansy, something gentler would have been nice…" He said.

"I did try! Come on, we've overslept. Breakfast is in five minutes!" She said. Draco quickly grabbed his robes and ran to the bathroom to get ready. Only a few minutes later he was out of there, fully changed.

"Wow, okay. You certainly get ready a lot quicker than you used to. Alright, we better get going." Draco nodded and they walked out of his room and down the flights of stairs to their common room. Blaise was down there waiting for them, looking a little impatient.

"What took you two so long?" Blaise asked.

"Sorry babe, we overslept." Pansy said, giving her boyfriend a kiss. Right on cue, Draco yawned loudly. They both looked at him, appearing slightly annoyed.

"What? You and Harry are worse." Blaise said. Draco looked at him, confused.

"What are you talking about, I'm shattered!" They shook their heads at him. "…Oh. Bad timing. Sorry, I didn't get a lot of sleep last night." They just grinned at him as they made their way through the dungeons, up the stairs and through the corridors to the Great Hall. Their Gryffindor friends waved at them as they made their way over to their table. Draco noticed that none of the other Gryffindors gave them a second glance as they walked by them, and chuckled at how they had gotten used to having three Slytherins sitting by them.

"What's so funny, Draco?" Harry asked after he had given him a quick kiss.

"I was just thinking about how the rest of your house doesn't really acknowledge me, Pansy and Blaise sitting here anymore. In fact, no one really seems to be shocked by us going out either. At first I noticed that a few people were staring at us, but now they have just seemed to have accepted it." He said thoughtfully.

"I am glad they have. I thought they never will. We do still have some girls giggling about it though, for some reason. " Harry said. He and Draco looked at the others, and saw that Hermione and Pansy were exchanging glances and ginning.

"What is it?" Draco questioned. Hermione sighed and shook her head, but was still grinning. Pansy did the same.

"Don't tell me you don't honestly get it. Especially you, Harry." She asked. Hermione nodded in agreement.

"Get what? I am so confused." Harry said. They both laughed.

"You two are literally perfect for each other, Harry. Think about it; the contrasts between you, the similarities, the understanding. How you've got opposite writing hands so you can hold hands while do your work…" Harry and Draco both roll their eyes, but Hermione ignores them. "Not to mention the trust you have in each other… It is so sweet!" She finished with a deep dreamy sigh. Pansy did the same.

"Well, I guess that confirms the acceptance, but not the squealing and giggling girls." Draco said, with Harry nodding in agreement. Hermione and Pansy both sigh and shake their heads.

"Honestly, you too are hopeless. You are hot, seriously. Like, I was interested in you before you told me you're gay. Obviously you are going to get fan girls!" Pansy said, and both she and Hermione laughed at the two boys who blushed and looked away from them. Blaise and Ron both coughed at the same time.

"Ahem Pansy, you have a boyfriend right here." Blaise said.

"Yes, same to you Hermione." Ron added.

"Oh, sorry boys." The two girls both said and planted a kiss on their boyfriends' lips. Draco grinned and planted his own kiss on his boyfriend's lips.

"Off to your first lesson, everyone." The three couples broke apart at the sound of Professor McGonagall's voice echoing around the hall. They sighed and picked up their bags, but then Draco grinned. Harry looked at him curiously.

"What's making you so happy, Draco?" He asked. Draco looked at him as if he were mental.

"We have Care of Magical Creatures then Potions! What could possibly be better?!" Harry laughed and shook his head at Draco's enthusiasm. He didn't know how one could be excited for Potions, but as long as his boyfriend was in a good mood, he didn't care what lesson they had.

"I really should have chosen Care of Magical Creatures. I am not a huge fan of Herbology." Blaise sighed. Pansy sighed too.

"Same here. At least we are together." She said with a wink.

"Hello, everyone. I got a real treat for yer all today." Hagrid said to his class. Ron grinned at Draco.

"Last time you said that Hagrid, Draco got attacked by a hippogriff." The class laughed, including Draco.

"At least the last time I came across a hippogriff, I rode it." He said with a shrug.

"Anyway, come along now." He said, leading them through the forest.

"I hope it's not another hippogriff. As much as I like them, I want to see something else really." Draco said. Harry squeezed the hand his was holding and grinned up at him.

"Don't worry about it Malfoy, I am pretty certain you will like this most of all. And… We are here!" All of the students gasped at, what looked like, a teenage dragon standing proudly by Charlie Weasley.

"Charlie!" Ron exclaimed. His older brother laughed and came forward to give him a hug. The dragon stayed where it was, clearly adoring the attention.

"Hagrid, how in the name of Salazar were you allowed to show us a dragon?" Draco asked, staring up at the magnificent creature admiringly.

"Well, Charlie here has come back from Romania for a little break. Due to his hard work and effort, he was allowed to bring a younger dragon home. Me and him had a talk with ol' McGonagall, and here she is!" Hagrid announced. The students stared at wonder at the dragon.

"What's her name?" Hermione asked.

"Norberta. Previously known as Norbert." He said with a wink at her, Ron and Harry. They widened their eyes at the dragon. "It turns out she was a girl, so she was renamed Norberta."

"Wow, she has grown so much…" Harry said in awe at the beautiful creature. The dragon let out a slight roar and rubbed up against Charlie, who laughed and stroked the scales.

"Who wants to stroke her?" He asked, looking around at the students. The majority of the class looked a little nervous, except for one, who had a look of obvious excitement on his face.

"Come on then, Malfoy. Don't come over too quickly, you may startle her." Charlie said, gesturing for him to come over. He nodded and slowly made his way towards Norberta. The said dragon looked at Draco, curious.

"Don't worry girl, he won't hurt you." Charlie reassured her, while he stroked her. She rubbed her head gently against her master and then turned to Draco. She stepped forward to the Slytherin. The class gasped and were suddenly concerned for Draco's safety, but he did not even flinch. Instead, he smiled at the dragon stood before him.

"Aren't you beautiful?" He murmured as he reached out to pet her. She lowered her head so he could reach her neck easily. The smile which he had on his face grew wider at the dragon's friendliness. Norberta saw the smile, laid down beside him and looked up at him eagerly.

"She wants you to ride him, Malfoy." Hagrid said. Draco looked at him, and then at Charlie, who nodded.

"She does. You can if you want to, Malfoy. She is very careful." He said.

"Of course I want to." Draco said with joy. His friends smiled at him, clearly happy for him. Norberta let out a small growl of happiness and laid closer to the ground. Hagrid walked over to help Draco onto the dragon. Once he was safely balanced on her, she got up slowly. Draco steadied himself, shocked at how much larger Norberta seemed once you were on her back. She looked at Charlie in a questioning way. He looked up at Draco.

"Are you ready?" He asked. Draco nodded and tightened his hold slightly around Norberta's neck. Charlie smiled at her and nodded at her to tell her she was alright to go. Slowly, knowing Draco had never rode a dragon before, she flapped her wings and raised them into the air. Once they were at an altitude higher than the trees in the forest, she roared and flew forward. Draco's eyes widened as they soared through the air. His grin was one of the widest he had ever had. Riding a hippogriff is one thing, especially with your arms wrapped around your crush, but riding on a dragon was a completely different thing entirely. He loved every moment of it. Norberta flew around the castle grounds, earning a few shocked looks from a few classes who saw them through their windows. Draco laughed as he felt the wind blow against his face. They flew across the grounds for a couple more minutes before Norberta flew back to the class. She landed on the ground and laid down so Draco could dismount. His hair was wild and messy, but the huge smile on his face showed that he did not care one bit for his hair, for the first time ever. He walked over to his friends, still smiling widely.

"That was amazing. Seriously, it was just incredible. I am definitely never forgetting that moment." He said.

"Alright, anyone else want to?" Charlie asked. The class started chattering excitedly, but stopped when Hagrid suddenly looked disappointed.

"We can't, it is time for them to get to their next lessons, Charlie." The students moaned. "I know. Tell yer what, if Charlie can get down here again, we can continue."

"I would be more than happy to do that." Charlie said. The class sighed in relief at regaining their chance of riding a dragon. He waved to the students as he mounted Norberta and flew out of the forest.

"Come along, all of yer." Hagrid said, leading him out of the forest. A few minutes later, Draco touched his hair, looking panicked.

"Oh my sweet Merlin. It feels dreadful." He said, quickly grabbing a hairbrush out of his bag to fix it. Harry laughed and shook his head, putting his arm around his boyfriend. This was just one of the reasons why Harry loved him.

"Today, we are going to be brewing the Oculus potion. Can anyone tell me what it is exactly?" Professor Snape asked his classroom. I am sure I recognise that from somewhere… Harry thought.

"Yes, Miss Granger?" He said.

"It is the counteract for the Conjunctivitis curse." She replied.

"Correct, Miss Granger." He paused at then looked thoughtful for a moment. "Five points to Gryffindor." The class gasped. It was only five points, but it was points all the same. Hermione stared at him, with the most shocked look on her face for the teacher who had supposedly hated her over the last years.

"I'd rather you not all stare at me." He scowled, but it didn't quite reach his eyes. "Anyway. I have added an extra ingredient, which I mixed in with your ground unicorn horn to make a slight change to the syllabus. Before you ask, no, we did not kill the unicorn. As I was saying, this ingredient I added will not only counteract the Conjunctivitis curse, but also cure the taker's eyesight completely. I am fine with all of you to keep some of the potion after you have completed it, IF you have made it perfectly. The instructions are on page 35." He said, and looked at Harry for a moment before he waved at them to start and sat down at his desk to complete some marking.

"You don't think he actually…" Harry started, but stopped when Severus looked up at him.

"I would start if I were you, Mister Potter, if you and Mister Malfoy have any chance of completing this potion perfectly." He said, and when back to the papers in front of him. Harry and Draco shook their heads in disbelief and grinned at each other. Draco started to set up the cauldron and the equipment while Harry collected the ingredients they needed. Once they had everything ready, Harry turned to Draco with a slight smirk.

"So… I am not the best at Potions, you are, and I really want to get rid of these glasses..."

"Yes, I shall do most of the work." Draco finished for him. "Not ALL though. Come on, Potions waits for no wizard." Harry rolled his eyes.

"It's true. Anyway, I'll need you to stir in a minute." Draco said after he shook the vial containing the ingredient. He carefully added the horn until the potion turned to an orange colour.

"Alright, stir it until it turns purple." He ordered. Harry nodded and stirred the potion. He stopped when the orange had changed to the vibrant purple. Draco grabbed a vial of crystalized water and slowly poured it in until the purple had turned red.

"Alright, we just have to wait a couple of minutes until it turns yellow." Draco said. Harry stared at him.

"I just realised, you didn't even look at the textbook!" Harry exclaimed, pointing to his closed book. Draco shrugged as if it wasn't a big deal.

"What can I say, I am good at potions." He said simply. Harry shook his head and grinned. He turned back to the potion, which was now settled as a bright yellow.

"Could you pass me the stewed mandrake, please?" Draco asked. Harry nodded and passed him the container. Draco thanked him and added the mandrake until the potion turned turquoise.

"Wow, this potion definitely is colourful." Harry chuckled. Draco grinned as he grabbed the ground unicorn horn again and added it until the turquoise changed to a subtle pink.

"It's your job again, my marvellous stirrer." Draco said, bowing dramatically. Harry laughed and stirred the potion. He stopped when Draco told him to do so, which was when the potion was once again an orange colour. Draco first added the wormwood until the potion turned green, secondly added the crystalized water again until it turned turquoise once more, and then the mandrake again until the potion turned indigo. He turned back to Harry, who had been watching the process.

"Go on, then. Until it's orange again, by the way." Draco said, gesturing at him to stir. Harry smiled and stirred the potion as he was told.

"Right, we're almost done. Just let it heat again for a minute or two, and then we can add the wormwood once more. It would be finished then." Draco said as he sat down for a minute.

"Are you sure you've been doing the steps precisely, Draco? Everyone else seems further behind than us…" Harry said. Draco chuckled.

"Yes, I am sure. They are further behind because their skills aren't even close to my superior ability. Check if you wish." He said with a smirk. Harry rolled his eyes, but couldn't help smirk back at his boyfriend. He opened up his textbook and found that Draco had indeed been following the steps correctly.

"Told you so." Draco said with a wink.

"Show off. Hey, it's purple again." Harry said, nodding at the potion. Sure enough, it was back to the vibrant purple once more. Draco got up out of the chair, then shook and added the wormwood once more until the potion turned back to the common orange.

"There we are, it's done." Draco announced a little loudly. The class looked over at the pair. Hermione had a look of shock on her face.

'How?' She mouthed to Harry.

'It's Draco.' He mouthed back to her simply. He looked back at Draco to find him looking at Severus, who had come over while he wasn't looking.

"It's perfect. Of course, that does not surprise me. Ten points to the both of you. Actually, only five to Gryffindor because Mister Malfoy did most of the work." He said, smirking. Draco laughed, and even Harry had to chuckle himself.

"Feel free to take some of this. You won't need it all though, plus I need it for your marks anyway." Severus said. He turned around, shouted at Neville for doing something wrong to his and his partner's potion, and then went back to his desk. Draco carefully filled a vial of the orange potion and passed it to Harry.

"Here you go." He said. Harry thanked him and looked at Severus for permission. When he earned the Potion Master's nod of approval, he drank the potion. He shuddered at the vile taste, but made sure he downed every drop of the orange liquid. He looked at Draco, who nodded at his glasses. Harry smiled and slowly took the glasses off. His face lit up, and blinked several times.

"Oh my God, this is amazing." He whispered. Draco hugged him, and looked into the frameless green eyes.

"They are even more beautiful without the glass in the way." He murmured and gently gave Harry a kiss. They were interrupted by a cough by Severus, and realised that the whole of the class was staring at them.

"If you all don't mind, it is actually time for lunch now. I hope you've all finished. If not, I guess you'll have to do it next lesson. Mister Longbottom, you have detention with me for almost blowing up that cauldron." Severus said, and dismissed the rest of them with a wave of his hand. The students packed their bags. Pansy, Blaise, Ron and Hermione rushed over to Draco and Harry. They all looked at a now glass-free Harry.

"Wow, you look so much better without your glasses! No offence, Harry, to how you looked before." Pansy said. The rest nodded in agreement.

"Mister Malfoy, Mister Potter? Can I have a word with you before you go, please?" Severus called to them before they went. They nodded and gestured for their friends to go on without them.

"What is it, Sev?" Draco asked once everyone was out of the room.

"Well, I guess this concerns both of you. You don't really need to be here, Draco, but considering you are my godson I think you should hear this." He turned and looked at Harry.

"Harry, I am sorry that I have been a… Whatever you want to call it to you these previous years. I had a grudge against you simply because of my hate for your father I had back in high school. But, it isn't always 'like father, like son', as we can tell from Draco here. So I am sorry."

Harry and Draco both stared at him with obvious shock. They looked like that for a couple of moments before Harry snapped out of it.

"Thank you, sir. I appreciate it." He said with a curt nod.

"Do you mind me asking why exactly you hated his father, Severus?" Draco asked cautiously.

"Harry here knows one reason why. He and his friends had a tendency to bully me in high school. But it's also because… I was in love with Lily." Both of their eyes widen.

"Oh…" Harry said simply.

"You may go. I do not wish to continue this." Severus dismissed them with. They both nodded and walked to the door silently.

"Oh, and Harry?" Severus called as they were near the door. They both turned back to the professor.

"Yes, professor?" Harry replied.

"You have your mother's eyes." He said simply, and then started to neaten up some papers. Harry simply smiled at him, and then walked out of the room with Draco. That line seemed to have a lot more meaning coming from Severus.

The friends were just finished with their dinner when Professor McGonagall had rushed over to them in a hurry with a concerned expression on her face.

"What's the matter, Professor?" Hermione asked as they looked up at their headmistress.

"It would easier to show you. This mainly concerns Blaise and Draco, but you are all free to come if you wish to do so." She said. Hermione, Ron, Harry and Pansy nodded to show they'd go too and they followed Minerva out of the Great Hall. They had to walk quite fast to keep up with her long and quick strides down the corridor.

"Where exactly are we going, Professor?" Blaise asked, slightly out of breath.

"To the hospital wing." She said. The friends looked at each other, but did not say anything else as she seemed quite panicked. Thanks to their quick pace, they made it to the infirmary in a matter of minutes.

"Oh thank heavens, Minerva! Come in, all of you." Madam Pomfrey said. They entered the room, and Blaise gasped when he saw a figure in the bed.

"Mum?! Salazar, what happened?! He said, rushing over to the bed. Blaise's father and Kingsley stood by the bed.

"I will be fine, darling, don't worry." She said, slightly weakly. She had a bruise going round her eye, what looked like a broken nose, and her arm was in a sling.

"Son, why don't you sit down? You too." Cais Zabini said, nodding towards him and his friends. They did as they were told and sat down. Kingsley stepped towards them, smiling sadly.

"I'm afraid that Lucius attacked the Zabini household. Luckily, they managed to escape, but as you can see…" He gestured towards Blaise's mother in the bed.

"But, I also have worse news too…" He said, suddenly looking a little uncomfortable. He turned to Draco. "Draco, somehow, Lucius managed to break into Azkaban and took your mother. We have no idea of their location or what exactly he wants to do with her."

Draco stared at him with wide eyes. He put his head in his hands and shook his head.

"No, no, no… I don't want him to hurt her too…"

oOo

Dun dun dun, DRAMA! I was feeling like this needed a little more Drama after writing a soft chapter so… Yeah. Came up with this idea. I also had no plans of there being a dragon in the Care of Magical Creatures class, but I wanted something… Who knows, maybe Norberta will make another appearance sometime in the story. *Shrugs*

Anyway, after starting to read a Draco/Harry story called Two Moons, I decided to start including a little question you may wish to answer in your reviews! I don't want to seem like I am copying them, I just want to see what you all answer with. So, the first question I think will be…

Why do you like/ship Drarry?

I am just curious, really. You must do, considering you are reading this. EMBRACE ME WITH YOUR FEELS! My answer to the question will be at the end of the next chapter. Here is another reason for you to review! R.E.V.I.E.W! :D (Please.)

Sayonara, my lovely Potterheads! :D
