Harry was sitting on the couch close to the fire, playing a game of chess with Ron while Seamus and Dean watched. Hermione was tucked in next to Ron reading and taking notes.
Dean looked up first as Ginny and Draco approached the group. He nudged Harry who punched him back in his arm. "I'm trying to focus Dean. What?" Before he looked up he smelled it. Peaches... but something wasn't right. He sat back and looked up.
"Look what I found. A Slytherin. Can we keep him please? I promise he will be on his best behavior. I promise to walk him and feed him. He will be my best friend." Ginny laughed throwing herself into an arm chair.
"I am not a pet." Draco scowled playfully at her as Harry stood, pulling his boyfriend in and sniffing him. "Why do you smell like that." He couldn't place it. There were too many scents mixed together. Someone else had touched him
"Ran into some Ravenclaws. They threw some hexes. But once they saw Weasley they took off. They must have been standing too close or brushed against me." Draco squirmed as Harry pulled him into a full body hug, attempting to scent him with his own.
"I don't like when you smell like someone else. It's just... it's just wrong. It's almost like they wanted you. The smell is... vile. " Harry then pulled back sitting back down in his spot. "Are you planning to hang out in here with us? Or were you looking for me for a reason?"
"I finished my transfiguration essay and was going to see if you wanted company. Blaise is out in the green houses getting some extra credit and Pansy is working on her own work. She gets a bit pissy and I don't want to deal with it right now." When Harry just stared at him he bit his lip. Maybe he was reading Harry wrong, he thought the Gryffindor wanted to spend time together. "It was stupid, it's fine I'll just had back to Slytherin. You are clearly busy." Draco turned to head out and Harry grabbed his hand.
"Draco, I would like it if you stayed and hung out. " Harry said genuinely. "Come sit here by me." He patted the seat next to him on the couch. "You can watch me get my ass kicked." When Draco didn't move he tugged harder until he stumbled and finally sat down.
Draco sat awkwardly, the Gryffindors choosing to ignore his presence. He wrung his hands together wondering if he should have just stayed in his dorm and went to bed.
"Draco, Tell Hermione about that book you're reading. I bet she's read it. " Harry said without looking up from the chess board. "I was telling her that you've taken up reading some muggle books."
Draco looked over at Hermione who didn't look to pleased to be interrupted. She set her quill down, and looked back at Draco expectingly.
"Uh, right now I'm reading the muggle series called Lord of the Rings... I find that the muggles interpretation of magic is quite interesting. Especially in areas where they are fairly accurate. It's almost like they talked to an actual wizard. " Draco must have said something that peaked Hermione's interest because now she was closing her own book and leaning forward.
"Which one are you on? Did you start with The Hobbit? Or are you reading them from Fellowship on and then doubling back for the backstory?"
Draco felt like this was a test question. "I started with the Hobbit. And now I'm on Two Towers. I can't skip the back story. I'm glad I didn't." Draco said honestly.
"I did the same!" Instantly, Hermione fell into a rant about people reading things out of order and then being confused about stuff, and how important back stories are to things.
Some how, almost an hour had passed and Ginny had joined the discussion. At some point, they were discussing films, that didn't follow book series correctly which led into Hermione and Ginny teaching Draco about movies and how they worked.
"You will have to get Harry to show you some films." Ginny encouraged. "He got dad to help him warding a TV to work inside Grimmwauld place. Usually magic interferes with things like that. You will like Movies. Harry had us all over during the summer and we had some movie nights. I prefer RomComs but Ron and Harry always want action movies. "
Draco felt Harrys arm snake around his waist and pull him close. Over the last hour Draco had kicked his trainers off and tucked his legs under himself as he talked with the girls. Ginny had actually moved from the arm chair and sat right next to Draco, sharing her blanket with him. If anyone had told him a year ago, he would be in the lions den, hanging out with Hermione Granger and Harry Potters ex girlfriend he would have laughed right in their faces.
"I'll show him a few when we're home for Christmas Break." Harry rolled his eyes at Ginny. "If Draco's heat happens before Christmas, we can have you guys over after and watch a few."
"Are you planning to come to the burrow on Christmas Day?" Ginny asked seeing Draco's eyes go wide. "Or not?"
"We hadn't discussed it much. I figured I would owl your mother this week and see if she minded. I don't know what state Draco will be in and obviously I won't leave him behind if he's not feeling well. "
Draco felt his stomach flop, Harry was going to put off his own family for him. "Harry, that's not necessarily needed. If I'm in the middle of my heat I can handle a few hours alone. I've done it before. " He shrugged. It wasn't the best experience but he would live through it.
Ginny looked at the Slytherin like he had ten heads, "Absolutely not Draco. We would never be mad at Harry because he was home with you while your body is going through that. I've never seen it personally, minus the start of Hermione's once. I wouldn't expect Harry to leave you like that. Everyone at the house will understand. I only asked, because if not, maybe we can do a get together at your place Harry. More low key. I know my family could be a lot for Draco to handle all at once."
Harry looked at Ginny, appreciation showing on his face. The fact that Ginny was being so amazing about all of this meant the world to him. When they had broke up, he was terrified he would lose the Weasleys. Turned out, it didn't matter, and clearly Ginny loved him still, just more like a brother.
"Actually, that sounds like a great idea. Maybe we can do a New Year's party and celebrate Christmas at the same time. It just depends on where Draco's at. We're pretty sure it will hit about two days or so before Christmas. "
If Draco's heat was on time, he would be good on or the day after Christmas. Mating during a heat helped cut the heat short. It would give them plenty of time to adjust to the new bond before getting back to school if it happened like that. They would need time to get everything worked out.
Draco felt Harry rub his hand up his back, "You could invite Pansy and Blaise for new years if you wanted to."
Ginny smiled at that, "Oh that would be brilliant! I think you should do that. I mean, inter-house unity and all that." The red head winked at the blonde with a smirk.
Draco laughed, " Yeah I'm sure you would like that, wouldn't you? I would like to invite them though. We usually spend the night together getting drunk, I'm sure that's a tradition they don't want to give up. "
"Then it's settled. As long as everything works out, we will be having ourselves a wild New Year's party."

Draco set his duffle bag down, "You know this place hasn't changed too much from when I was a kid." Draco looked around the sitting room. "A little less dreary of course. You are starting to remodel? How far have you gotten?"
Harry nodded kicking off his trainers and hanging up his coat. He took Draco's from him and hung it on the rack. "Yeah. One room at a time. Sirius willed it to me so over the summer I started. The sitting room, kitchen, bathroom and my room are already finished. There's plenty of rooms in this house I haven't even been in. The woman I hired to help with the remodel said that old magical houses like this require more than just physical work. They feed off the energy that's in the house. So everyone was dark and evil living here before, so the house was dark and dead like. She said the longer I stay here, make memories, build a life here, it will start to heal the house and make it feel more open and welcoming."
"Yeah, she's right. The core of the house feeds off your magical energy. So if you want it to be a house where you raise a family, you'll have to start spending more time here, that way it can get to know you. The house is... alive almost." Draco picked his bag back up. "Can I go take a shower before we decide what we're planning to eat for dinner? I'm feeling a bit prickly."
Harry led him to the staircase and up to the master bedroom. "Of course. You can leave your bag on the bed. I'll help you put away all your stuff after dinner. Bathrooms right through that door. I have extra stuff in there if you need it. "
Draco laughed, "No offense Harry, but whatever you are using to tame that nest on the top of your head isn't working. I don't look this good by using a three in one body wash. I brought my hair and body care with me. It's shrank in my bag. " he started pulling out a bunch of bottles and jars
"you use all of that?" Harry asked looking surprised. "Draco, you act like a bloody priss."
"Well you don't complain when you're enjoying how soft my skin is, or how good my hair smells." Draco pointed out with a laugh.
"Okay fair enough." Harry watched Draco grab everything he needed and headed to the bathroom.
"Did you... want to join me?" Draco asked raising one elegant eyebrow.
Harry didn't have to be asked twice. He had been half hard since the train ride. The fact that he was going to have Draco all to himself for over two weeks was driving him wild. They could stay naked, touch, kiss and hopefully fuck on all the surfaces in the house with no interruptions.
Harry followed after Draco, helping by grabbing two fluffy towels and hanging them outside the large shower. Harry stripped his tee shirt and jeans off quickly. He looked up and saw that Draco was already peeling his black pants off, his perfectly shaped pale arse now on display.
Harry drank up the sight in front of him. He was drawn instantly to the man, his scent driving him wild. He could tell his heat was close, he smelled like he was begging to be dominated.
He ran strong hands up the creamy skin that was exposed to him. "Fuck, why are you so beautiful?" Harry wrapped an arm around his chest, pulling him against his body, his cock now at full attention, rubbing along Draco's body. "I want you." He nipped at the pale skin on his neck sucking at the temporary bond mark he found.
"I'm all yours." Draco whimpered letting Harry man handle his body how every he wanted. Harrys Alpha pheromones we're filling the room quickly. "How ever you want me Harry. I'm yours."
Harry growled, spinning them and pushing his Omega against the wall. Draco's pupils were blown wide, his face and chest flushed with want. "You are so good for me Draco. Such a good boy."
Draco felt his cock twitch at the praise. Harry never talked like that when they hooked up. He liked this new discovery.
"Oh? You liked that did you. You like being told you are a good boy? You like knowing you please your Alpha?" Harry ran his hand down Draco's chest and hard belly to the leaking erection trapped between the two of them. "You are going to come for me Draco. All over my hand, and when I have milked every drop from you, you are going to drop to them knees and show me what a good boy you can be."
Draco's eyes closed as he let out a long moan as those tanned callused fingers wrapped tightly, and began stroking in a slow rhythm. "Harry, please, faster." He panted trying to thrust into Harrys fist.
Harry used his other other hand to hold Draco's hips still, his fingers digging in a bit. He was sure they might leave bruises. "You will be patient or I will leave you like this, and forbid you to come." Harry nipped at the shell of the man's ear, drawing out another moan.
Harry took his time working Draco to the edge, watching as precum drooled from his tip. "Look at you, you look better than any of my fantasy's. No wonder everyone wants a piece of you. You are fucking perfect. Too bad you are all mine. This is all mine."
"Yours, all yours." Draco panted back. "Fuck I'm so close. Please, please make me come."
Harry started stroking faster, "come for me Draco. Show me how good I make you feel. Show me that I take good care of you. "
Between the ministrations on his erection and Harrys dirty talk, Draco felt the build of his orgasm coil in his belly. "Yes, yes, Harry I'm going to.. I'm.." with a heavy moan, Draco felt his balls pull tight and think ropes of come covered Harrys belly and hand.
Harry milked every drop, and before Draco could collapse against the wall, he kissed him hard, pushing his tongue into Draco's mouth coaxing him to kiss him back.
Then Harry pushed at Draco's shoulders until the smaller man dropped to his knees looking up under long lashes. "My turn. Show me what a good boy you are for your Alpha. And don't waste a drop."
Draco didn't hesitate, he moved forward on a mission, to prove to Harry he was a good boy, and the perfect omega.
