Thanks to: Menecarkawan. Thank you for being my Beta!
The survey was answered by most people and the score was Girls: 6 vs. Boys: 0. However, I do know that one of my reviewers from the chapter before last was a boy so I guess that's pretty much it. The rest of the people didn't vote. Oh well. Thanks to the people who did vote! Much love!
Well, I just want to say that people liked this chapter more than I thought, except for a certain brutal and harsh critic. She/he was a little evil with their words, but oh well! I won't let Enchantress101 bring me down!
Now, replies to me wonderful reviews!
Manda Lee04: Wow! I'm really glad you liked the chapter! That's a big thumbs up for me! Yay! Thanks for the review!
Luin-lote: lol. You must really love clothes! My sister's the same. I think about 2 or 3 other people thought this was their favorite chapter too! I'm really glad you enjoyed it that much! Your review is so great! It really makes me happy! Thanks for the review!
Enchantress101: I don't mean to sound rude or anything (even thought you sure did sound rude enough). Ooops! I'm sorry, did I use ANOTHER annoying pair of parenthesis? No, seriously, I think you could have been a little nicer with your words. I never mind a few criticizing words every here and there but I think you were just a tad bit extreme. If you don't like the way I characterized Harry and Draco, just don't read the story. What else can I say? Next review, please!
GoldenGirl12: I'm really glad you laughed during the chapter. I didn't really think it was going to be that funny but a lot of people said it was, so thanks for the review!
Zeynel: Your review sure was peppy! It made me feel all gitty and made me do a very naughty thing. I picked the lock to my mom's room and stole some chocolate and now I'm peppy! Hooray! Thanks for the great review!
Ugh(): Ummm.when you say, "You completely pulled a Frizzy and turned your story into and utterly crappy fluff. Nice job." Did you mean that as an insult or did you mean it sarcastically, saying that my story is good? I'm not sure, but until you review again (if you do) I'll just take it as a compliment! Thanks for the review.I think. Lol.
OnlyHAUNTED: I'm glad you think my idea is original! That Enchantress101 girl thought my idea and plot were way too cliché, but oh well. I'm glad you think differently! Thanks for the review!
Kendrall17: lol. I suppose that would have been a priceless look Draco must have been putting on as he was about to flip Thanks for the review!
HogwartsSaiyajin: Wow! You actually re-read my entire story! And I improved, did I? Well, you should tell it to that Enchantress101 girl. Maybe if she had taken the opportunity to read my later chapters, she would notice that I got better like you said. OMG, though! You really think I got better? I'm WAY flattered! Thanks a lot! Btw, are you a boy or girl? Thanks for the review!
Immortal Memmories: Wow? I used an exclamation mark for that sentence? It must have been a mistake. Thanks for your KIND criticism. Some people don't know how to do those things, kindly, but you do. Thanks! I can relate. Sometimes I read story and certain little grammatical things get on my nerves, lol. I'll try to make sure not to make the exclamation mark mistake anymore. I guess I must have been eating chocolate at the time, and when I eat chocolate, everything is a big, happy deal! Lol. Thanks for the review!
Sara-Lady-Dalion: Nice, long name. Lol. It's cool! How'd you come up with it? Ooooh, your right! It is the Twelve Days of Christmas! Now I remember! Thanks for refreshing my mind! And thanks for the review!
Bakachan17: lol. Your review, I have to admit, is the funniest I've ever read! The answer to my survey you gave had me cracking up for like an hour! I would be talking to my friend on the phone, and out of nowhere I would start giggling and laughing at the thought of the review you gave me. Thanks so much! Thanks for the review!
Sirian-Pincess87: Wow! I read some reviews that were the funniest and peppiest but yours is the kindest most wonderful review ever! I can't believe you like my story that much! Thank you sooooooooooo much for the review! It make me so happy that you love me story so much and it's become your favorite! Thank you SO much for the review! Looking forward to the next one!
Fearless5: Thanks for the compliment. As for the question, no, I think Harry doesn't sleep enough actually. He needs to sleep more. Sleep is good. Sleep is great! People now at days don't get enough sleep!
Tirla: Hey, thanks for the advice. I'll try to stop adding in A/N's for chapters. Thanks for the review, and I hope for another one!
Wow! 15 reviews for this chapter! Yay! Beat the last chapter by 1! All though, it's a bit sad because of all my chapters, I think I got the most criticism in this one more than any other. Oh well. The nice comments and wonderful reviews from all of you great readers made up for it! Now, on with the story!
Chapter 14: Stale Mate.or is it? Part: 2
Harry and I sneaked away from everyone. We used the chimney in our room to floo out to the- wait, I can't tell you yet. Well, anyway, Harry and I flood out. I went first so that Harry would know what to yell out.
I took a pinch of floo powder and yelled, "Outside the Potter Residence!" The last thing I remembered seeing before the emerald flames swallowed me whole was the priceless look of complete shock on Harry's face that to this day, I still haven't forgotten.
His eyes bugged out entirely and his jaw slacked up, letting his mouth fall open as he gasped.
I landed gracefully in a small shack and stepped out into a foot of snow that reached just bellow my knees. It was cold, but I didn't care. I was too happy and anxious to bother with such little things at the moment. I wanted Harry to get here so that he could see the wonderful present I had gotten him, well, hopefully wonderful.
He probably all ready figured what it was after what I had yelled out to floo here, but I knew the amazement would increase once he would actually see it!
I waited anxiously until finally, I heard a thump from inside the shack and opened the door. I saw that Harry had fallen most ungracefully but looked simply adorable. I walked in with a chuckle and helped him up. "It's not funny," he mumbled.
I immediately stopped chuckling. I definitely didn't want to upset Harry before he saw his Christmas gift. I smiled at him and held him in my arms. "Harry," I began, "I know this is completely cliché, but close your eyes."
Now he was the one chuckling, but he complied and I put my hands over his eyes just to make sure he wouldn't peek.
Spending three months with Harry had shown me that he was the most curious Gryffindor to ever walk the planet. I led him out of the empty, wooden shack and out into the snow. I felt Harry shiver, as his lower legs got soaked from the snow.
I held back my laughter and led him out a little further. Finally I turned him around, holding my breath and heart beating faster than ever in anticipation, and lifted my hands from his eyes.
On cue, Harry opened his eyes and gasped, more taken aback than ever. Let me tell you just what it was that he saw.
A beautiful clearing of land with snow covering it all over like vanilla icing over a large cake you can't wait to dig into. In the center of all this land was a very cozy and welcoming house made of beautifully designed gray, marble-like stone. It wasn't a huge, wonderful mansion, but I knew Harry wouldn't want a mansion. It was a normal, family-sized home for Harry.
He would never have to go back to live with those horrible Dursleys. The house had two windows on either side of the door in the front and three more above it, on the second floor. It had a beautiful chimney and across the house was a banner that said, "Happy Christmas, Harry!" in bright, vivid colors that could blind a newborn deer.
In front of the house were two ever-lasting Christmas trees, lightly decorated with a few lights and a snowman on the right side. During the summer, there would be a wonderful garden in the front, but that would be in the summer. Right now, the snow that lightly sprinkled over the roof of the house, the framing of the door, and the Christmas trees suited the moment perfectly.
"Oh, Draco," Harry whispered at a loss for words.
"It's yours, Harry," I stated. "You can come live here once we graduate. You'll never have to live with the Dursleys again. I.I thought you'd like it," I said, beginning to blush lightly.
"Oh, Draco! I love it! It's wonderful!" Harry said as he jumped to give me a bruising kiss. I licked his lips pleadingly, quickly receiving entrance. His lips parted and I quickly took my chance and explored throughout his entire mouth, making the sweet taste last for as long as possible.
We parted several long moments later for a breath of air. He smiled happily before timidly asking, "Can we.can we go inside?"
"Harry, sweety, you can do anything you want. It's your house!" I answered, pulling out a pair of keys from out of my pocket. I'd made sure to have a spare key in hopes that he would give it to me.
He smiled at the spare key slyly.
"Oh dear, Draco. I'm afraid you've made one too many keys," he said teasingly.
I smiled at him hopefully before he erupted into fits of laughter and said playfully, "Well, I suppose if there's nothing else to do with this key, it would be a shame to burn it, so, I guess you can have it if you want." He heaved a fake sigh.
I laughed and grabbed him into a tight embrace before planting a chaste kiss on his lips.
As we entered the house, Harry's smile only increased. We looked around in the living room and the first thing Harry noticed, was a Muggle television.
"You have a Muggle television in here?" he asked incredulously.
"Well, I figured that you'd been brought up in a Muggle area and so you might enjoy certain Muggle things.
"Oh, thank you!" he'd exclaimed, as he'd wrapped his arms around me.
We explored the rest of the other things, finding some other Muggle things here and there. I didn't really know how any of it worked, but if Harry let me move in with him, I was sure he would explain.
He enjoyed the entire house, giving me thank you kisses and hugs every time he saw a different room. We finally finished exploring the normal, family-sized home and decided to take a break and simply go and. play.
We went back out into the snow and had a few snow fights and built a snowman. We tackled each other for hours, getting completely soaked in the snow and finally felt too cold to continue as the night sky began to darken.
We headed inside the house and stripped down to our boxers on the welcome mat before walking onto the floor. We, as stupid oafs, had forgotten to bring our bloody wands with us outside. We went to the couch and grabbed the fluffiest quilt there was and snuggled close together.
I noticed my wand on the table and took it, whispering a small spell and two hot mugs of cocoa appeared in both of our hands.
"I love you Draco," Harry whispered, close to me.
"I love you, too," I whispered back, as we indulged in a passionate kiss.
We finally decided it had gotten late enough at around 11:00 p.m. and decided to head back. Besides, we didn't want to miss the New Year's Eve celebration. You know what happens at all New Year's parties, don't you?
Well, if you don't, here are a couple of hints:
-Laughing
-Drinking
-Getting drunk
-Going to bed. With a companion
Do you get it yet? EXACTLY! Pure, blissful sex!
When we got back to the cabin, everyone bombarded us with questions about where we were until Harry finally blurted out, "Draco bought me a house!" with a smile on his face the entire time.
Everyone gaped and then spluttered out astonished comments such as:
"Oh my god! How sweet!"
or
"How delightful! Will you be sharing it with Draco?"
or
"Draco, you really have outdone yourself!"
or
"Urgh! How disgustingly mushy!" Earning an elbowed stomach from Hermione. Can you guess who ushered that last comment?
When everything had settled down, the champagnes were poured and the liquor went flying every which way. Finally, we were ten seconds from the New Year. With Harry and I all over each other, snogging our heads off.
"10..9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2.1! Happy New Year!" Everyone shouted and Harry and I sneaked up to our rooms, quite drunk, while everyone else stayed snogging on the couches. (That Muggle guy had been invited over for Mother's sake.)
Harry was quite a giggly drunk as we closed the door as quietly as any drunk truly can. "Your mum was having a good time with that Muggle, wasn't she?" he asked, attempting (and failing) to stifle a snigger.
"Hey," I protested, half-heartedly. "Lay off my mum. She's just a little lonely."
Harry pulled me close to him. "I never said it was a bad thing," he whispered, before catching my lips in a slow and passionate kiss. "I'd like to have a good time with you, right now."
I growled possessively at that proclamation, and deepened the kiss. I felt Harry's tongue on my bottom lip and happily granted him entrance. Hands began to roam of their own free will and soon I was gripping at his buttons, begging drunken fingers to undo the cursed contraptions.
"I hate buttons," I muttered, finally giving up on them and ripping Harry's shirt open.
"You dirty animal," Harry said, doing the same to my shirt. "What were you thinking?"
"That I want to see your skin. Now." I pulled Harry's shirt off of him and pushed him onto the bed. I kissed his chest and nipped his nipples, then I gave him a hickey and started in on his pants.
"I need you, Draco," Harry whispered huskily. "Please."
I growled again and pulled his pants down, grinding my hips against his. "I 'm going to make you shout out in ecstasy," I told him, causing him to whimper and grind against me in return. Soon my clothes were completely gone as well and we were kissing and touching every inch of skin we could find.
"Oh, God, Draco," Harry muttered, running his nails across my back, causing me to cry out. I pulled the lubrication toward us and prepared Harry for me.
"Are you ready?" I asked, barely able to keep my voice steady.
"Oh, God, Draco," Harry replied. "Yes! Please yes!"
-Censored-
"That was amazing," he said softly.
"Are you all right?" I asked, slightly concerned at the tremors rolling through his body.
"I'm fine," he replied. "That's just the hardest I've ever come."
I chuckled slightly and held him close to me. Soon after we fell asleep.
We woke up the next morning, bright and early and began to pack up for the train trip back to school.(Harry had too much of a migraine to be in a bad mood plus the fact that he was still enjoying the pleasure from last night.) I truly didn't want to go back. I enjoyed myself so much with Harry and everyone else, and I knew I would also miss my mother very much all though I'd never admit to it.
Harry ran downstairs when we heard a certain ecstatic Weasley yelling, "Yes! I found a way to win!"
We ran downstairs to see what the commotion was all about and saw Ron standing over the chessboard with the pieces still laid out perfectly. My mother rushed over, fuming with unbelief.
"How?" she asked, incredulously.
Ron moved one of the white pieces (I'm not sure which it was. It was a few years ago) and it took out the black knight as he yelled, "CHEACK MATE!"
I was prepared to hear the most outraged yells from my mother, however she had a smile as wide as a chasseur cat. "Well, Mr. Weasley, I want to thank you for winning the game for me," she stated calmly.
"What do you mean?" Ron asked confusedly, when suddenly, he turned pale as he understood, however my mother decided to state the obvious for him anyway.
"I am the white piece, and so, you lose. Check Mate," she stated, and with that, she walked away while Ron dramatically fell to the floor, moaning and groaning and whining as all sore losers do.
I, whether Ron was now my friend or not, couldn't help the smile that appeared on my lips, and while I knew Harry wanted to smile too, he kept it to himself and playfully hit my arm with the back of his hand and scolded me for not keeping my smile to myself in a whisper.
We road over to Platform 9 ¾ sadly, everyone saying good-bye to my mother while she held back unshed tears in her eyes and gave us all intoxicating hugs.
We were going back to Hogwarts and wouldn't be able to see my mother for quite some time. Everyone looked out the window, once we had chosen a compartment, and stared out at my mother waving good-bye.
The train suddenly began to drive us away as my mother finally shed a sorrowful tear with a smile on her face. Maybe it had been a smile of happiness for my new friends. I never was sure.
I watched her form as it began to shrink in size as we drove farther and farther away. Harry smiled at me and gave me a kiss and I turned away from the window.
"Are you going to miss her that much?" Harry asked.
"Yes, I will," I answered back.
"I wish I had a mother to miss." And with that, Harry turned around and stayed quiet for the rest of the trip.
A/N: I am soooooo sorry that this chapter is so short, but it is coming early, isn't it? I wasn't able to make this chapter as long as my usual chapters because my computer keeps freezing up and I want to post this before it freezes up again so that I can get the computer fixed. Well, I hope I receive as many reviews as the last chapter gave me. Thank you! R&R
