Harry had ended up with mail order gifs for the remainder for he could not even be convinced when they were in London. Harry was badly shaken for the holidays and while Charismas day brought some cheer for him, he was very quiet and Draco and his dads were worried about him. Both how close he had come to being raped and the fact that the mass murderer who tried to have him killed as a baby and helped kill his birth parents, had saved his life, left him badly shaken. His dads were not much better and they had not been too disappointed Harry had not wanted to leave the manor during the holidays. Right now they had not wanted their son out of their sight for now. They knew they were being over protective but after the way James and Lily died and after all Harry had been through a child, they took it seriously.
When they returned to school for the next term Harry was doing a bit better and as he sunk back into classes he started to recover a bit. He spent the first while living with his dads but it took only a week before his friends convinced him to come back to the dorms. There were two extra aurors on campus and Harry never got over the feeling that he was being watched and he did not need his dads to admit that he had a shadow on him. None of the kids were supposed to know and the shadow was only to be seen if they had known
In February there was a big weekend for there was the second quidditch game of the season as well as the Valentine's Day Hogsmeade trip. Harry's dads had told him it was his choice whether he went into town for Valentine's Day. Draco though had made the choice for he knew Harry was worried that he would be disappointed if they did not have a proper date. Draco actually got Harry's dads to help him plan something on campus when the other students were gone.
Saturday afternoon though saw Slytherin cementing their cup win as they defeated Ravenclaw by well over 200 points. They would have had to lose and lost badly to Hufflepuff for Gryffindor to have a chance and the only team who ever lost to Hufflepuff was Ravenclaw and even that was a rare event.
As the others were heading out on Sunday for town Harry looked at Draco. "Are you sure you don't mind? I mean everyone looks forward to these weekends."
Draco bent down and kissed him warmly on the lips. "I want to celebrate the day and have a good time with my boyfriend. And we can do that here as well."
Though Harry did not look sure at all Draco led Harry to the room of requirements which was waiting for them. With some help from his parents and from Harry's dads he had set up what looked like a muggle movie theatre. The manor had muggle entertainment center installed run off of magic but the school usually affected muggle technology, the best they could get usually was a muggle cd which would play on the wwn. But it had been hooked up to a pensieve and a spell like a projection and there was even a little concession stand with some muggle treats like popcorn as well as candy and pop. Such technology even run off magic and a pensieve were usually not allowed on campus but because of everything that was going on, a small exception had been made for the day.
Harry laughed when he realized they would be watching a movie and an old animated one they had seen when they were younger. Harry could not deny curling up in the sofa with his boyfriend for a movie and some popcorn was definitely special and relief compared to having to go into town.
Draco handed him a bowl of popcorn but Harry noticed a box on the top of the popcorn. "You didn't think your date was your only gift."
Harry handed him his own gift. "It would have been more then enough, this is amazing."
Harry found with a smile a copy of the soundtrack for the movie which would play on the portable wwn he had here, a perfect gift with the date Harry thought. For Draco he had got what looked like a piece of parchment but it had been created by the marauders for it was a two way journal but only worked for the two people intended and the writing disappeared right away like the map if someone else looked. He also gave Draco an IOU for a proper date when things were safer but Draco reassured his boyfriend that he did not need it, he liked having Harry all to himself like this.
It was a pretty routine date for muggles but it was special for the two of them and Harry broke into laughter when Dobby appeared with pizza at dinner time. The little Malfoy elf had always had a talent for making muggle food for his little master and Harry as well had always loved muggle food.
They were heading back for the dungeons when they were done when Harry noticed something. "What the hell is that rat doing following us again?"
Draco noticed Scabbers as well and shrugged. "I would say that Ron had trained the rat to be his spy but that would be giving the weasel far too much credit."
There was something about the rat which bothered Harry and he was not sure why. Later as they were talking with their friends Harry thought about something and headed for his room where he took out an old album from his Papa that had pictures of the marauders when they were students. There was one in the very back if you knew the right spell for it you could see the marauders, well the two left in the photo who were animagi, transform.
Harry was not sure why but he scanned the marauders map and kept looking and looking. Animals never showed up on it so he was not sure why he was looking but suddenly near the woods he saw a name he had never expected to see. He took the map and the album and headed straight for his dads.
He showed his Papa the map. "Peter Pettigrew is alive, he is alive. He is Ron's rat."
