Chapter Twenty – Five: Harry
'Draco, can I try something?' Hermione asked abruptly. Harry could only see Draco's profile, so he couldn't read Draco's expression, but he did see him nod to Hermione.
'When the collar affects me, don't allow me to stop what I'm doing, OK?' Hermione said, sounding mildly hesitant. Harry watched as Draco agreed and Hermione reached for the collar.
Harry couldn't see Hermione's hands, but he could see the collar begin to emit a soft glow. Draco looked at Harry out of the corner of his eye, and Harry lowered his arms rushed over to him, but Draco shook his head.
'Harry, you stay. Hermione, don't you dare stop what you're doing.' Draco ordered. His voice sent a delicious shiver through Harry's body, and he made sure he was back in position. Hermione took a deep breath, and then the collar fell from Draco's neck. It landed on the floor with a dull tinkle that seemed to echo in Harry's ears.
At first, no one moved.
Harry watched as Draco's eyes slowly widened in surprise, his fingertips grazing lightly along his neck. His grey eyes lifted to meet Harry's, who could've sworn Draco's eyes filled with a hesitant hope.
'There you go, Draco.' Hermione gasped, rubbing her hands over her face. Lucas and Olivia were looking dazed but getting to their feet. Ron made his way to Hermione to stand next to her and rub her back, looking slightly dazed himself.
Harry wanted to go to Draco and hold him, but he was frozen in place, held there by Draco's gaze. Draco's pupils were dilated, a disbelieving grin was spreading across his lips and a light pink blush was creeping along his cheeks.
'Hermione…' Draco said, his eyes finally breaking contact with Harry's as he cleared his throat. 'Everyone, could you all give me and Harry a moment?'
Hermione nodded slowly and ushered the other three out of the room, closing the door behind them with a quiet snap.
Draco fell to his knees, gently running his fingertips over the collar lying on the floor, shock written all over his face. Harry dropped his arms and moved to Draco, kneeling next to him and rubbing one hand on his back soothingly.
'It's over, Draco.' Harry crooned gently, scared of Draco's expression. Harry kept rubbing Draco's back, not sure what else he could do.
Draco looked up to meet Harry's eyes, fear filling them.
'He can't find out.' Draco sounded panicked.
'He won't, we'll make sure of it.' Harry assured him.
'He always finds out. He'll come. He'll-'
'Draco.' Harry interrupted firmly. 'I promise, I will look after you. You are safe here.' Harry gently helped Draco to stand and led him over to the bed, where he pulled the covers back and eased Draco onto the mattress.
Harry directed Draco to shuffle across the bed so he could climb in also, pulling up the covers over the pair of them.
'I've got you,' Harry said, as he curled himself around a shaking Draco. 'You're safe with me.' He brushed Draco's hair with his fingers, willing for Draco to calm down and believe him.
Harry didn't stop reassuring Draco until the blonde fell asleep. Even then, Harry couldn't quite relax. With everything happening, he'd managed to forget that Zabini would be returning for Draco. He'd have to come up with a way to keep Draco safe, like he promised. He only had six days to figure something out.
Harry awoke with a start a few hours later. Draco had climbed out the bed and was walking away.
'Whereyougoin'?' Harry mumbled, struggling to open his eyes. Draco turned slowly.
'Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you. Just going to the bathroom, I'll be right back.' Draco assured Harry before disappearing behind the bed.
Harry silently counted the seconds to himself, not realizing he'd fallen asleep until Draco woke him up as he snuggled against Harry again.
'You're back.' Harry kissed Draco's head, who laughed quietly.
'I told you I was coming back.' Draco tilted his head up and kissed Harry's jaw. Harry let out a breathy moan, which encouraged Draco to kiss him again, trailing kisses down his neck to his bare chest.
Harry found himself gripping Draco's shoulders as Draco rolled Harry onto his back. Draco hovered his body above Harry's and trailed kisses across Harry's chest and along his stomach. Harry could feel his heart hammering and he couldn't take his eyes off the gorgeous blonde atop him.
Harry couldn't stop his groan when Draco took his cock in his mouth and began bobbing his head, his tongue flicking around the head.
It didn't take long before Harry felt himself nearing the edge – he gently pulled Draco away from himself and lay his perfect body alongside his own.
Harry kissed Draco's neck, sucking softly, and felt his heart flutter when Draco moaned.
Harry mimicked Draco's actions, rolling Draco onto his back before trailing kisses across his perfect chest and down his perfect stomach.
But he didn't stop sucking Draco's cock when Draco told him he was close. He kept going until Draco was uncontrollably bucking his hips and throwing his head back in ecstasy.
'Harry!' Draco groaned, thrusting into Harry's mouth one final time as his cum filled Harry's mouth. Harry smiled as Draco fell back against the pillow's, a smile on his lips and his breath deep.
Harry snuggled up against Draco with his head on Draco's chest, listening to his heartbeat slow down.
Harry awoke to Draco's mouth on his cock. He didn't fully open his eyes, but he raised one hand to stroke Draco's cheek.
'Feels so good. You're so perfect.' Harry mumbled, his free hand resting on top of Draco's head.
'HARRY!' a voice on the other side of the door sounded panicked. Draco jumped and lifted his head as a hand banged violently on the door. Harry reassuringly placed one hand on Draco's shoulder before he yelled back at the door.
'We're busy!'
But Hermione opened the door anyway, a frustrated look on her face.
'Zabini is here. He wants Draco.'
