Harry awoke in his bed with Draco's arm wrapped around him. Harry lifted his arm up gently, making sure not to wake him. He made a small groan and turned on his side. Harry sat at the end of his bed and put on his glasses. Something didn't feel right, he didn't know what but something just wasn't right . . . He stared over at Ron's bed which was empty; he had spent the night in Neville's room to give Draco and him more privacy. Harry glanced around the room and felt a cold breeze coming in through the window, he shivered and got up and walked over to the window. He stared for a moment then closed it, the air just smelled strange. He turned around when he heard Draco yawn loudly.
"Harry . . .?" Draco said coming out of a sound sleep. He sat up and looked at Harry standing near the window.
"Harry, are you alright?"
"Something's wrong . . ." Harry shivered once again.
"What do you mean?" Draco moved himself to the edge of the bed and let his legs hang off.
"I don't know, I just have a bad feeling, like something is going to happen."
Draco stood up and walked over to Harry placing his arms around his shoulders.
"Did you have a nightmare?" Draco whispered, sending a cold shiver down Harry's spine.
"No, I just have a bad feeling . . ."
"Maybe I can help." Draco moved his hands around Harry's waist and pulled him closer and kissed his neck softly. Harry's shoulders tensed up at the sensation running through his body.
"Draco . . ." Harry pulled away a little. "Not right now."
Draco sighed and released him.
"Ugh . . . see what you do to me?" Draco smirked.
Suddenly a green light flashed through the window.
"What the hell was that?" Draco looked out the window.
"I don't know . . ."
KNOCK, KNOCK
Harry and Draco turn their attention to the door. Draco looked at the clock and saw it said 2:00 AM.
"Who would be here at 2 in the morning?" Draco looked at Harry.
Harry walked over to the door, timidly holding out his hand to reach the doorknob.
"Wait," Draco grabbed Harry's shoulder. "Who's there?!" Draco yelled before Harry could open the door.
"It's Professor Snape, open up!" Draco and Harry let out a sigh in relief. Harry opened the door and saw Snape, looking more agitated than usual.
"Come with me at once, the both of you." Snape grabbed both of their shoulders forcing them out of the room.
"What's going on Professor?" Draco asked.
"There's no time to explain, the Headmaster needs to see you at once."
Snape opened the Headmaster's door and let Draco and Harry enter first.
Dumbledore had been pacing back and forth near his desk, looking completely exhausted. His attention was brought to Harry and Draco entering the room with Snape following behind.
"Malfoy, Potter" Dumbledore glanced at each of the boys. "Sit, please."
Harry and Draco sat down both trying to think about what could have happened or what they did wrong.
"Look, Professor if this is about Draco being in my room . . . he just fell asleep and-"
"No, that's not what this is about." Dumbledore interrupted.
"Then what's going on?" Draco asked slightly annoyed.
"Malfoy, this is about your safety so I need you to listen carefully; since your Father died, the death eaters have been trying to track you down . . . to kill you. They blame your Father's death on you and wish to take out their revenge on you."
Draco and Harry's eyes became wide with fear. Harry looked at Draco who was speechless and trembling. Harry reached over and took Draco's hand in his.
"There is more . . ." Dumbledore looked down at their joined hands. "We're going to have to send you away, Mr. Malfoy; it is no longer safe for you here."
Harry gripped Draco's hand tighter.
"What . . .?" Draco looked at Harry and then back at Dumbledore. "But I can't, Professor Harry and I-"
"I know Mr. Malfoy, but it's the only way . . . we'll get you back here as soon as we can. Our army is on the move now to fight them off, but it's going to take time."
Draco stood up forcefully.
"No! I'm not going anywhere; I will NOT be a coward and run away!"
"Draco, I am responsible if something happens to you, when a student is in danger I have to do everything in my power to protect that student." Dumbledore stood up. "And by God, I mean to do it!"
Harry stood up and put his hand on Draco's shoulder.
"You have to go, Draco."
Draco made eye contact with him.
"No . . . I can't, I finally got you back, and I'm not going to lose you again!"
"You won't lose me!" Harry cupped Draco's face between his cool hands and locked his eyes to his. "I can not bear to see you get hurt . . . you need to go and when you come back I'll be right here waiting for you, I promise." Harry gave him an assured look and released him.
Draco nodded, trying to return a smile.
"Where am I going?" Draco turned to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore looked at Snape then back at Draco.
"Since your Father left you his Mansion, Professor Snape and I have decided that you will be living there temporarily."
"Alone?" Harry looked at Dumbledore and Snape.
"No, Mr. Potter, I will be with Draco, making sure he is not harmed." Snape answered. "After all, I am his God Father."
Well, that felt better to write a new chapter. I only got 5 reviews and one of them was kind of bad so I'm sad . . . I went from 65 to five . . . that sucks. Anyways, thanks once again for your patience when I was getting the story reposted. I still can't believe I did that! (such a bloody idiot!) lol. Please review.
