Malfoy Manor

Lucius Malfoy stood in the doorway of the Burrow. Mr. Weasley got up to stand beside Fred, and the rest of the Weasley's just stared with open mouths. He was eying the inside of the house with disgust, and Draco appeared from behind his father and looked directly at me.

"What are you doing here, Lucius?" Mr. Weasley put a protective arm around Fred.

"We've come to fetch Mr. Potter." He stated matter-of-factly. Everyone was stunned, including me. I jumped up and ran to Draco. I figured this is a conversation I would rather have without the entire Weasley clan listening in. "Are you going to invite us in?"

Mrs. Weasley came up to the door and gestured Lucius into the sitting room, but I stood at the open doorway with Draco.

"What are you doing here?"

"I got you're letter. You didn't seem like you wanted to be here, so I talked to father, and he agreed you could come spend the holidays with us." Draco held my hands tightly. He was obviously very excited with this idea.

"I can't stay with you. They won't let me, trust me. They wouldn't even let me come to your party." I was upset. I didn't think that Malfoy Manor would be somewhere I would want to go, but I did. I know it would just be me and Draco alone most of the time, and even if it was a trick, I always had my watch.

"That's why I brought father with me. They won't be able to stop you with him here."

"No offense Draco, but that probably just made it worse." I leaned into him and wrapped my arms around his waist. "I wish I could come."

"So just come. We can spend the whole time together, locked away in my room, where no one could hear us and all the noise we'll be making." I bit my lip. I could stay here and be ignored and uncomfortable the whole time or I could spend every day making love to Draco.

"Alright. I'll come." Draco was so happy, he grabbed me and pulled me into a passionate kiss. When we broke away I noticed that everyone was watching us. "I got to go get my things." We walked into the sitting room and Draco nodded to his father.

"Very well. Please do hurry Mr. Potter, I don't think I can stand to stay here much longer." Ron stood up, as if he could hurt Lucius, but then looked at me. I looked him in the eye for a second then turned to head up the stairs. When I got into the room, I noticed Ron followed me.

"You're actually going to leave to stay with them?" He wasn't even yelling. He just looked right into my eyes.

"No one really wants me here anyway. It's better this way." I threw all my things into my trunk and grabbed Hedwig's cage. I made a move to the door and Ron grabbed my wrist.

"I want you here." I looked right up at him and wished he wouldn't of said anything. "Please stay."

A single tear fell from my eye and I hated myself for it. I should have been able to hold back better than this. I hate that Ron could still do this to me. I know I didn't love him anymore, but I still cared for him and I'm not even sure what that meant.

"Ron, don't.."

"Harry, please stay."

"I can't. Not after everything. I just can't." He let go of my wrist and I stepped out of the door.

"Will we ever be back to normal Harry?" I turned to look at him, he was being sincere.

"I don't know. But if you're still interested in trying to get things back to normal, you can still do it in two weeks." I left and Ron didn't follow me this time.

When I got into the sitting room, the two Malfoy boys looked extremely uneasy, and I expect the twins were the cause of that by the look on their faces.

"Ah, good! Shall we?" Lucius got up and Draco came and grabbed Hedwig from me. Ginny came over and hugged me.

"It's going to be weird not having you for Christmas this year. Write me?" I knew she wasn't too happy with this, but I appreciated her not saying anything. Oddly enough, neither did anyone else. I half expected them to call in reinforcements, but I guess they didn't expect it to work. Which I knew it wouldn't, because the second they came in, I would be gone. I said my goodbyes and walked outside.

"How are we going to get there?" Lucius looked right at me.

"Hold on to your things Potter," he grabbed my arm and I felt like I was going to explode from the inside. I closed my eyes and wished for it to be over. When I felt normal again, I looked up and realized we were there.

"Welcome to your home for the next two weeks." Draco smiled and grabbed onto me. "Come on, I'll show you our room."

I was shocked to see Draco's home. It was incredibly huge, and extremely beautiful. We traveled up a marble staircase to the second floor. Their house elf, Minga, followed behind us with my trunk. We arrived at a door at the end of the hall, and Draco told the Minga to leave us.

"Thank you." I said and immediately regretted it. The elf's eyes got huge and started to water.

"Leave." Draco said and she bowed and disappeared. "Don't thank the elf, Harry, she doesn't like it."

"Dobby doesn't seem to mind."

"Dobby was a horrible elf." I looked a little upset by this news. I remember everything Dobby told me about living at the Manor, but I still couldn't believe how prejudice Draco was.

"Elves have feelings too." Then I realized how much I sounded like Hermione. "They're not just your slaves."

"Yes they are. That's why the exist. They like to serve us." I remember Ron saying something similar when Hermione started SPEW. Must be a pure-blood thing.

"I just think you should be nice to them." Draco laughed a little.

"Of course you do, now get in here."

He opened the door to a large bedroom. It was about three times the size of Ron's room. There was a large bed in the center of the room with silk black covers. There was a large bookshelf that covered an entire wall, that was completely packed. I didn't think Draco was such a big reader, but considering how well he did in school, it made sense.

There were two doors inside the room. Draco pointed to the one and told me to leave my trunk in there for now. I opened it up and it looked like a small bedroom, except it was lined with hundreds of robes. I left my trunk in there and turned to face Draco sitting at the edge of his bed.

"A lot better than the burrow, huh?"

"I love it there," I paused thinking about what I just said. "or I did anyway."

"Well maybe you will love it here." He pulled me close to him and kissed me. "I'm so glad you're here. I don't think I could live anymore if I didn't see you for two weeks."

"You are such a drama queen." He smiled a little and I began to strip him of his robes.

"You're not wasting any time then?"

"Well the deciding factor of me staying here was the idea of us having sex the whole time. I just want to get started right away." I laughed a little.

"Ah, so that's why you came. You want to take advantage of me." I winked seductively at him. "Well who am I to deny you."

We began undressing one another until we were both naked. Draco grabbed a bottle a lube and placed it in my hand. He laid down on the bed and began licking his lips.

"You sure you don't want to try it the other way around?" He sat up and pulled me into a kiss.

"I kind of like you being in control."

"Is that right?" I began to stroke him and he put his head back down on the bed. I used my free hand to stretch him out. It was a lot easier this this time since we just had sex two days ago.

It wasn't long before I was thrusting into him. I could tell it still hurt him, but his moaning also showed me he didn't mind the slight pain. I leaned forward and began kissing Draco's neck. It was salty and sweet at the same time. He wrapped his arms around my back and let his hands roam freely over my skin. All the sensations became too much and I was coming inside of him.

I waited for my muscles to relax before pulling out. Then I noticed Draco was still achingly hard. I began pumping him with my hand while planting kisses all over his face. Then he moaned loudly into my mouth while my hand and stomach were coated with his spunk.

We laid on top of the silk sheets allowing them to cool us off. Draco rested his head against my chest.

"I don't know how I ever lived without this." Somehow Draco always knew the cutest thing to say. I lifted his chin up so he was looking me in the eyes. My lips only grazed his before there was a knock at the door.

"Draco." A booming voice said just outside the door, obviously belonging to his father. He jumped up and threw on his boxers and tried to flatten his hair before cracking open the door.

"What is it father?" It made me smile watching Draco be so formal with his dad. It was a little sad that's how things were, but it would be hard to imagine it any other way.

"Remus Lupin is here to see Mr. Potter." Lucius was obviously not pleased with this, but neither was I. Of course for way different reasons. He was probably disgusted with the fact a werewolf had the

audacity to show up at his home, while I was disgusted with the fact he thought he could make me leave.

"Yes, thank you, father. We will be down in a minute." He closed the door and looked at me. "Why is the werewolf here to see you?"

"His name is Remus Lupin, not the werewolf, and he's a friend."

"Right, sorry. What is it with you and teachers being your friends?" I couldn't help but smile at him as I was getting dressed.

"He was one of my dads friends from school. He's almost like family." Draco smiled faintly.

"You said that about the Weasley's too. That they're you family. Where's you're real family?"

"They are my real family, even if were not on the best of terms right now. My aunt and uncle, whom I live with, and my cousin, well they're horrible." I just left it there because we were fully dressed and I grabbed Draco's hand and we walked down into the sitting room to see Lupin sitting by himself.

"Harry." He pulled me into a hug. "I'm sorry for yesterday. I didn't think how it would of made you feel, I'm truly sorry."

"Don't worry about it, I'm pretty use to everyone over reacting about this." I said lifted up our intertwined hands.

"Yes, sorry, hello Draco." Remus nodded his head in his direction. Draco seemed a little stunned by this, but said a simple hello back.

"As much as I appreciate the apology, you didn't have to come all the way here." He looked very uneasy. I wasn't sure if it was from being in this house or from what he was about to say.

"Yes, I was hoping we could speak in private." I should of expected as much. I gave Draco a quick kiss to assure him it was okay, and he exited the room.

"I'm not leaving."

"Harry, it's not safe here." I knew he was only worried about me, so I decided to tell him about the watch so he can sleep easier.

"It's okay. I got this watch from Dumbledore, in case of an emergency." He looked confused. "It's like a portkey, that will transport me to Hogwarts if something goes wrong."

"Dumbledore gave you this? He never men-"

"Snape gave it to me, but he tole me Dumbledore wanted me to have it."

"Can I see this watch?" I reached to get it and realized I left it in my trunk.

"It's upstairs." His eyes were practically bulging out of his face.

"Harry! What good is it going to do you if you don't carry it on you the entire time you're here." He was right. I let my guard down because I felt so comfortable around Draco, I forgot who his family was.

"I'll be more careful from now on."

"I hope so. You know, no one is trying to upset you, we just worry."

"I know, but you all act as if I can't take care of myself."

"But you can't even carry around this watch that is your only back up if anything happens, how can you blame us?" I didn't say anything. He was right, I was being completely irresponsible. "Well, please do be careful. I'll let you be." He pulled me into another short hug before walking out the front door.

I was rooted to the spot. I was thankful he didn't try to take me away, but I still felt anger for him even coming here. I know he worries about me, but I hated it. I hated how everyone worried about me all the time. I was getting so mad until a pair of arms wrapped around my torso from behind.

"What did he want?"

"Same as everyone else. To tell me how dangerous me being here is." I turned around to face my boyfriend.

"You trust me when I tell you you're safe." He looked me straight in the eyes. "Right?"

"Yes." I smiled. "Let's go back upstairs."

When we got back into Draco's room, I immediately went for my trunk and noticed it was gone.

"Where is my trunk?" I yelled, and Draco look shook up.

"Calm down. Minga probably unpacked it for you."

"I need my watch, where is my watch?" I felt so stupid for not bringing that with me. Draco went into his closet and pulled out a small jewelry box. He opened it up and pulled out my watch and I sighed in relief. I grabbed the watch and slid it into my trouser's front pocket.

"Why is that watch from Snape so important to you." He looked hurt and possessive at the same time.

"I told you it was from Dumbledore."

"That still doesn't answer my question. Why is it so important?" I decided it would be best if I told him the truth.

"Well, it's not just a watch. It's sort of a portkey that will get me to safety if anything goes wrong." I didn't think it was important for him to know it took me to Hogwarts.

"You don't trust me?" Then he just look hurt.

"No I do. It's just, you never know. I mean, you might not even be aware of anything going on. It might be against you too." A smile slowly formed on his face.

"Would you bring me to safety too?" I smiled and pushed him onto the bed.

"Of course, I'm going to need someone to have hot and sweaty sex with once I'm there." We stripped back down and laid together in the same manner, only this time under the sheets.

I woke up the next morning alone in bed. I looked around and noticed the other door in his room was now open, and revealing a bathroom. I made my way over to it to relieve myself and caught Draco primping in the mirror, fully dressed.

"What are you doing up so early?"

"It takes time to look this good." He rubbed his index fingers along his eyebrows with a smirk on his face.

"Oh, well I never had to work to look good, so I can't relate." He laughed. He pulled me in to kiss me, but pulled away.

"Maybe you should brush your teeth." Now I was laughing. "But hurry up, we have to have breakfast in fifteen minutes."

"I guess I have to be fully dressed for that." He sighed. "Alright then. I'll be ready in a flash."

I threw on the first thing I found that was mine in Draco's closet, which wasn't too hard considering my clothes were the only muggle clothes there. Then we head down to the dining room to find both his parents sitting at the table on opposite ends. Lucius was reading the daily prophet and Narcissus was sipping her tea.

"Good morning Draco." His mother gave Draco a kiss on the cheek. It was the first warming moment I've seen coming from his family. "Good morning Mr. Potter."

"You can call me Harry." She smiled even brighter.

"Very well, Harry." I've only seen his mother once before this and I didn't actually speak to her, so it was refreshing. It was obvious Draco got his loving side from her, where Lucius didn't seem to show any emotion besides anger.

"Draco, I think we should continue our lessons this afternoon. We can't have you slacking just because you have company." Lucius said from across the table.

"Lessons?" I whispered to Draco, but Lucius heard as well.

"Father is teaching me occlumency. When I get better at it, he's going to try and teach me legilimency as well." I could tell he was excited about this. I don't know why anyone would be excited from occlumency lessons.

"You're welcomed to join us. I don't mind teaching you both." I was surprised to say the least, but would definitely decline.

"I don't think so."

"Do you have something against learning new things?" Lucius stared at me questionably and I wondered how good he was at legilimency. It wouldn't be too good if he could read my thoughts this whole time.

"No, it's just I had occlumency lessons before, and they were horrible."

"From who?" Draco asked, and I decided to ignore him. Lucius seemed to be curious as well, but when I stayed silent, I'm sure he knew I wasn't going to tell him.

"Well whoever it was, probably wasn't a very good teacher." I almost laughed. Snape was a great teacher to most people. He was just so horrible with me. "Why don't you let me give it a shot? If you don't like the way I teach, we will stop."

I thought about that for a while. I don't see how learning occlumency from Lucius could hurt me. Voldemort could probably get into my mind better than him anyway. I looked at Draco to see what he thought about it, and he just had a big smile on his face.

"Okay, I'll give it a shot."

"Very well, I guess I'll see you both this afternoon." He said with no emotion and went right back to reading his paper.
