bloody damn things..
Finally the first Hogsmead weekend had arrived. While Harry and Draco were out practicing Quidditch late into the night, the rest of Draco's little gang had work diligently to try to find the owner of the hate mail. Sadly, though, they didn't find anything. "Not even a trace of their unknown gender!" informed Blaise one night.
Draco and Harry had decided to ignore it for now. Instead they planned on a way to keep Harry safe during the Hogsmead trip. Vince and Greg would sit a few seats away with the rest of the group while Harry and Draco talked. If anyone suspicious were to walk over, one of them would come over to see if everything was all right. They would be followed wherever they went, though at a discreet distance, just in case.
"Don't you think that this is over kill?" whined Harry. Draco sat next to him in their dorm and tried to explain to his over excited boyfriend. He sighed deeply and wiped the pout off Harry's lips with a finger.
"No, I don't. I like you Harry but more importantly we need you. You are the only one who has a chance in hell of defeating Voldemort and making changes in the laws possible. Don't bite me!" Draco snatched his finger away from Harry's mouth before the dark haired teen could bite again.
"But you taste so good!" the teen protested, reaching over and trying to recapture Dracos' finger. Pansy snorted softly while Millicent broke out in a fit of giggles. The boys just smiled and rolled their eyes. As the unfortunate roommates to the two hormonal lust bunnies, they were all use to Harry and Draco's antics.
"What are you laughing at?" asked Draco coldly. Seeing as how Draco was on his back with an over enthused Harry sucking on his successfully recaptured finger, they all ignored the threat that laced his voice.
"You two. You both look so adorable like that! Almost as if you were meant for each other," admitted Vivian McClure, another fifth year girl that they trusted. The others nodded before the two boys straightened up.
"No more goofing off. Remember what we have to do, ok?" The rest of the night passed in planning and soon the weekend came. Harry and Draco left a little later than the rest of the school as planned with Vincent, Gregory, Blaise, and the girls surrounding them.
"Do you think they'll attack?" Harry asked. Draco transferred his hold from Harry's hand to Harry's waist instead.
"Probably. They'll probably do it when you are alone so be on guard and don't be afraid to use some of those curses I taught you," Draco paused and looked closer as the slightly smaller boy walking beside him. He suddenly poked Harry in the side and said, "You need to eat, Potter, you're much to thin! We can't have you flying away if a strong gust of wind blows on by, now can we?" They all laughed and slowly entered the wizarding village.
A half and hour later, the small gang entered the Three Broomsticks tavern and took a seat in the back. Harry and Draco placed a their purchases under the table and ordered a few butter beers. A figure plopped itself next to Harry so suddenly that he had his wand pulled and aimed before he could focus on who it was.
Ginny Weasley stared at him in shock. "Are you all write Harry?" she asked. "You seem kinda tense." The two boys calmed down and Draco made a small movement to make Greg and Vince sit back down.
"Warn us before you suddenly appear out of thin air, Weasel!" cried Draco in exasperation.
"I'm sorry! I just wanted to ask Harry if he was ok! I heard that you were placed in the hospital but I never got the time to ask."
Harry slowly shook his head. "I'm fine. I just fell and had to get a Headache Reliever potion and stay in bed for a few days."
"What was wrong? It must have been bad if you were placed on bed rest."
"No, just a slight concussion."
"And Harry was fine in a few days," murmured Draco. A slight look of mistrust flashed in those silver orbs but before Harry could comment, a pretty girl with dark blond hair materialized next to Ginny's elbow.
"Are you ready to go?" she asked in a soft voice. Ginny grinned at her for a moment before she introduced everyone.
"This is Eva, my girlfriend." The two boys stared at her, shocked before Harry managed to recover.
"That's great! It's a pleasure to meet you Eva and we would love to chat but I think we have to go." They shook hands and apologized but grabbed their bags and left, talking about how they couldn't believe Ginny was gay! Though it was an equal shock to find out they were gay so they weren't complaining.
They were almost out of town when it happened; a dark mark appeared in the sky above them and the crowd panicked. Harry was shoved to and through but, try as he may, he lost his grip and was shoved down an alleyway. Free of the panicking crowd, Harry sat in the silence and waited for everything to die down. 'Draco will be pissed!'
A sound from behind him jostled Harry out of his reverie and before he could open his mouth, a voice said, "I warned you that I would hurt you Harry! CRUCIO!" Harry screamed out and dropped to the ground in pain. His bones were on fire and his lungs screamed for breath. The curse stopped and Harry lye there in pain.
"You're not very bright are you Harry? I tell you when to expect me and yet you, predictably, go into the heart of the fire. When will you learn? You can't hurt people like you do without some consequences! CRU-" The attackers voice was cut off as Harry had managed to aim his wand.
"STUPEFY!" He cried. The figure crumpled to the ground, out cold. Harry tried to see through the spots that danced in front of his vision and just as he saw the face, he passed out.
AN: This is so much longer than the rest but I am trying to make up for lost time. I thank everyone who reviewed and do hope you love the chapter. Until next time, stay safe and HAPPY HALLOWEEN! ~Ta-ta
