Chapter Two



Secret Notes

Harry yawned, rolling over in his four poster bed. He blinked his eyes open looking about with blurry vision since he wasn't wearing his glasses. He felt that his groin was tight again, for the third night running. He'd been having a dream about Draco and him on the train and how good it felt to touch him and be touched by him. Harry looked over at his alarm clock and saw that the red numbers blazed '5:30 a.m.'. Harry sighed, trying to ignore the feeling between his legs but he damn well couldn't.

Harry rolled over onto his stomach putting his face into his pillow trying to think of something other than how Draco had made his skin tingle and rouse new emotions out of him. Harry somewhat growled into his pillow hitting his mattress as he pushed himself up and he looked at himself sighing. "Damnit," he muttered. "This had better go away before Potions." he muttered since Draco was in that class and he always seemed to be paired with him. And if he was near Draco and still aroused like he was now then he didn't know what could happen. And that thought scared him besides the thought of having someone notice him like this if he was still like it down at breakfast.

Harry got up and got dressed, since he was going to be up in fifteen minutes anyway. (It was now 5:45am) Harry sighed as he dressed quietly so he didn't wake Ron, Seamus, Neville, or another fifth year Harry didn't know the name of. Neville's snoring helped comfort Harry to know that they were all still asleep. Harry walked out of their dorm and downstairs to the Gryffindor Common Room, deciding to write Draco a note about what was going on, since Draco was the only thought on Harry's mind at the moment.

Harry sat down at a desk in a corner and reached inside the drawer and pulled out a piece of parchment, a quill, ink bottle, and an envelope. Since there was always a stash of these supplies Harry was thankful that he didn't have to go back up to his dorm to get his things to use. Harry chewed on the quill lightly for a minute thinking of what to say.

Harry thought about what he should write or tell Draco about himself in his letter. Harry sighed, pulling his glasses off and rubbing his eyes. Harry put his glasses back on and picked his quill up again. Harry dipped the quill in the inkbottle and began to write.

"Draco-

Hello. How have you been? I've been thinking about you since, well you know. I think about you a lot. I can hardly get you out of my head and I wish I could be with you but I can't and that makes me somewhat angry and upset at the same time. Well I'm writing this before everyone in my House is up yet, thankfully, so I'm pretty sure no one with notice I've gone to the Owlery to send you this. Umm, I'm not really sure how to say it, but well Draco the one reason that I wanted to send you something was because well. I woke up, again, with.."

Harry stopped there, swallowing hard and he glanced around the room to make sure that no one was around to read what he was about to write next and he sighed, relieved. He'd better write this quick and take it to the Owlery before anyone else got up and started asking questions. Harry glanced around the room again then continued writing.

"With a situation, if you know what I mean, which I hope you do Draco. I had better stop now before someone else gets up and starts annoying me with questions. I'll see you in Potions I suppose.

Harry"

Harry smiled slightly to himself, looking around again while he folded he letter and he put it in the envelope and sealed it with a bit of wax from the candle that was floating nearby. Harry scribbled Draco's name on the parchment envelope then got up and he pulled on his cloak he'd brought downstairs with him walking out and quickly and quietly to the Owlery, stopping in the doorway staring at the person who was already there.

"Sirius?" Harry whispered in surprise. He stared at his godfather dumbstruck that he was here, he hadn't heard from him in the past six months and he had figured Sirus just forgot about him.

Sirius whirled around and sighed with relief. "Oh Harry, it's only you." He smiled looking a bit raggedy and shaggy. "How are you doing in life?"

Harry smiled slightly, walking to the nearest owl and tying his letter to Draco on its leg and it soared out of the window. "I'm alright, you?"

Sirius smiled watching the owl fly off. "I'm doing well. Better than I have been. The Ministry's going to clear my name next week. Some Muggles spotted Peter a few months ago and they've gotten a confession out of him about what really happened."

Harry's face broke into a grin. "That's great!" his grin faded a bit, wondering if the offer that Sirius had made two years before about having Harry come live with him once his name was cleared.

Sirius walked over to Harry and put a hand on his shoulder. "You know that offer's still up for the taking it you want to." He said softly, as if reading Harry's mind.

Harry grinned and he nodded "I'd be extremely happy to take up that offer." He said happily and he grinned up at Sirius then hugged him.

Sirius chuckled and hugged Harry back. "You look more and more like your father every day you know that Harry?" he said pulling back from the hug and putting his hands on Harry's shoulders.

Harry grinned. "I'm glad I am." He said, not knowing what else to say.

Sirius smiled and he moved back a bit. "Oh I have something here for you." He said reaching into the pockets of his black robes he wore and he pulled out a picture handing it to Harry.

The picture was of Harry's parents and him at his first birthday party. Harry was grinning madly in his highchair as his mom encouraged him to blow out the candle on the small cake. His father standing proudly beside Harry, showing him how to blow out the candle.

Harry stared at the picture looking over all the faces in the moving photo and he grinned sadly, the pain in his heart pulling at him, as he looked at his parents and him, so happy together. One small happy family, that was torn apart because his parent's wouldn't give into Voldemort's command.

In the photo Harry looked at his Mum who smiled happily and lovingly at him then little Harry turned his head to watch his Dad pretend to blow out the candles. Then finally, the year old Harry turned his head to the cake and he blew out the candles, everyone clapping. Sirius moving into view and he ruffled Harry's already tousled black hair like his fathers, looking healthy and happy with himself.

Harry smiled at the picture and he looked up at Sirius to thank him for the picture, his eyes widening a bit since Sirius wasn't there. He looked all around, turning in circles. "What?" he looked at the floor and there was a note there from Sirius. Harry bent down and picked it up, opening it and reading it. It read:

"Harry, Sorry I had to just disappear like that but the school will be waking up any moment now and I can't take the chance of getting into trouble with Dumbledore or anyone else for that matter. I'll be in touch soon. Think about what we can do once you're out of Hogwarts next year so we can find a descent place to live and get you away from those nasty Muggles. I'll see you in a few months.

Sirius"

Harry smiled and nodded slightly, slipping the note into his pocket and he headed back to the castle where it looked as if most of the students were up now and at breakfast. Harry walked into the hall and spotted Ron and Hermione gripping about something at the Gryffindor table, nothing uncommon for the two of them at seven in the morning. Harry then looked over at the Slytherin table swallowing and looking for the blonde boy with those chilling yet exciting gray eyes. Not finding him Harry's heart fell slightly but then he reminded himself that Draco was usually a bit late for breakfast. Harry sighed and he yawned a bit, stretching.

"Bit tired Potter?" Draco asked leaning against the door to the Hall, smirking watching Harry.

Harry whirled around and smiled "Yeah, I didn't get much sleep last night. And I was up early today."

Draco smiled slightly and motioned Harry to follow him out into the Great Hall. Draco leaned against the wall looking at Harry.

Harry happily followed Draco out and smiled at him standing in front of him, going to say something but got tapped on the back by someone and he turned around. "Oh..Hi Ginny."

Ginny, Ron's sister who was a 6th year smiled at Harry shyly. She'd had a crush on Harry since the first time she met him at Kings Crossing when she was with her mother and brothers. "Hi Harry, Ron wanted to talk to you about something this morning. He told me to tell you that if I saw you before he did."

Harry nodded. "Alright then.." he looked at Draco and smiled sadly at him and he headed into the Hall to talk to Ron.

Draco watched Harry go and he looked at Ginny. "Ron didn't want anything did he? You just wanted to get Potter away from me. Didn't you?" he asked narrowing his eyes at her.

Malfoy intimidated Ginny but she tried not to let him see that, though it was plain to see. "So what Malfoy, Harry doesn't need a snot around him like you all the time."

Draco smirked. "Oh you don't know what Harry needs. Nor would you even be able to give it to him Weasel." He sneered at her

Ginny blushed the same color red as her hair and she looked away then quickly walked off, Draco chuckling behind her as he walked to the Slytherin table.

Harry walked over to where Hermione and Ron sat. "Ron? Did you want something? Ginny said you wanted to talk to me about something." He said sitting down next to him, glancing over at Hermione then past her at the Slytherin table watching Draco sit down and talk to a few people then he looked back at Ron.

Ron shrugged. "No." he said around a mouthful of bacon and eggs.

Harry sighed. "Alright then." He poked at his plateful of food, chewing on a piece of toast while he found himself glancing over at the Slytherin's table again at Draco.

Draco glanced over at Harry at the Gryffindor table, smiling when he caught Harry looking back at him, receiving a smile back from Harry.

A few minutes later the owls that brought the mail screeched their arrival and Harry looked up, watching for anything from Sirius or anyone else, maybe Draco as well.

Draco looked up and saw a letter drop from a school owl into his lap, recognizing Harry's scribbling he hastily pocketed it and waited to see if there was anything else from his parents. Getting a small parcel of things he smirked casually and got up, heading back to the Slytherin's Common Room.

Harry watched Draco go smiling slightly and he looked at Hermione. "So what's on the agenda today for classes?" he asked smiling and he leaned against the table as Hermione talked, Ron grumbling about things.

Meanwhile Draco walked down the stone steps to the dungeon but stopped halfway on the steps since no one was around and he pulled Harry's letter out of his pocket and opened it, smiling and reading it. Once he was finished he chuckled quietly, a smile on his face and he folded it back up and slipped it back into his pocket. "So, Harry's thoughts turn sexual in the morning.." he said softly, smiling. He leaned against the stone wall closing his eyes remembering how he woke up.

Draco had been lying in bed, aroused from thinking about Harry most of the night. He had gotten so aroused he had to do something about it so he had gotten up and gone to the showers, and pleasured himself to get the arousal to go away. Thinking of Harry and of what happened on the train.

Draco shivered slightly remembering that and feeling his groin tighten from the thought and he sighed. I want Harry again..I need him he thought as he headed down to the Potions' dungeon once the bell rang for classes.

Up in the Hall Harry, Ron, and Hermione stood up when the bell rang and headed down to Potions. Harry's stomach flipped with butterflies as they walked down the steps and into the classroom. Hermione sitting down next to Neville, Ron sitting near Seamus and Harry took his usual seat next to Draco.

Draco looked at Harry and smiled slightly "Nice letter Potter.." he whispered, still using his regular name for Harry out in public. "Glad I'm not the only one who gets that way in the mornings.." he said winking at him.

Harry could feel his face flush and he looked at Draco. "Well..I can't get it to go away..even now." He whispered softly.

Draco grinned a bit "Meet me in the library at eight, I have an idea. Near the restricted section, ok?" he said brushing his hand across Harry's lap under his robes.

Harry's eyes widened a bit and he looked at Draco and he grinned slightly. "Okay."

Just then Snape walked in and the Gryffindors and Slytherins Potions class began. Snape sat at his desk scribbling a few things on parchment as the students gathered their things to make a Remembrance Potion, something that with one drop you remember what you've forgotten in the past few days.

Harry sighed while he gathered some flobber worms that had been cut in half, making a face having to pick them out of a jar with his hands. "Ugh..These things are so gross" he whispered to Hermione who was to his left gathering her and Neville's ingredients so that he didn't mess anything up.

Hermione nodded "Very." She said quietly back, brushing her bushy brown hair out of her face. "Come on Neville, pick up three of those flobber worms and let's go."

Neville was trembling "Do I have to Hermione?" he asked his voice quivering.

"Do you want Snape to get on your case for the third time today?" Hermione asked impatiently.

Neville's eyes widened and he shook his head, quickly getting three flobber worms and following Hermione back to their table. Neville got his robes caught on a table tripping and knocking everything to the floor with a crash with squeals of horror from a few girls jumping away from the pool of flobber worms.

Hermione groaned "NEVILLE!"

Harry shook his head and gathered the rest of the ingredients and he headed back to where Draco was at their table. Harry dumped them on the table "Okay..you can cut those nasty things up since I had to dig them out with my fingers." He said pointing to the flobber worms.

Draco laughed. "Bit queasy with the worms Potter?" he asked arching a brow and looking up at Harry.

Harry made a face. "Sod off..come on.." he laughed slightly and nudged Draco in the side lightly to get him moving.

Draco laughed softly and he picked up the knife and he cut up the flobber worms how they were supposed to be. He glanced at Harry, smirking to himself in what he was thinking for later that night.

Harry and Draco put their potion together rather quickly and had it simmering in the cauldron over the small fire on the table. Afterwards Harry glanced up at the clock, Potions was almost over then the rest of the afternoon Harry could do what he wanted. At least until eight o'clock rolls around then he'll be meeting Draco in the library for whatever Draco had planned.

Draco stirred the bubbling purple liquid and leaned over the cauldron to look at it jerking his head back quickly and covering his nose. "UGH!" he said staring at it.

Harry looked at Draco's face and laughed out loud. "Does it have a bit of an odor Malfoy?" he asked snickering.

Draco sneered at Harry "Stick your face in it Potter." He said trying not to laugh at himself for putting his nose in it.

Ron looked over at Harry and Malfoy, wanting to just sock Malfoy for all the things he's said to him for the past six years and all the insults he made about his family. Ron looked at Harry to see if he was going to need any help in doing anything.

Harry caught Ron's eye and shook his head and Ron went back to stirring his and Seamus' purple potion. Harry looked at the potion Draco and he had and he smiled slightly at Draco and he moved around to the back of the table next to Draco as Snape came around the tables to see if everyone did it right or not.

Once again Neville had ruined his already horrible day in potions by getting nervous and knocking his and Hermione's cauldron over spilling the potion all over the place along with his and Hermione's robes now soaked with purple liquid.

Snape griped at Neville as usual and held him and Hermione back after class was finished to clean the mess Neville had made, along with giving him and Hermione detentions.

Harry grinned slightly once the bell rang and he looked at Draco. "I'll see you later. Library at eight right?"

Draco smirked and nodded once before walking behind Harry, giving his rear a pinch before walking out the door.

That made Harry blush and he watched Draco leave, not even hearing Hermione and Ron come up and talking to him.

"Harry? Harry!" Hermione waved her hand in front of Harry's face trying to get his attention. "Ron, I think the guy's in love or something.." she said looking at Ron.

"Har-" Ron started to say before Harry cut him off.

"I am not Hermione.. I was thinking." He said quickly and he grabbed his books and headed for the door.

"Hey! Wait for us!" Ron said walking out after Harry pulling Hermione along behind him.

Harry only had five hours to wait until eight o'clock. Harry sighed, swallowing and he thought that he might just go out to the Quidditch fields to pass the time.
