~ Present day ~

Thinking about it made him smile, he was really glad he was back at Hogwards, it turned to be an interesting year, and with the DADA job open again, they needed a new teacher. In the beginning of the new school year when Dumbledore made his speech, everybody got quite a shock when he told them, they wouldn't be having one new DADA teacher but two, they were Remus Lupin and Sirius Black. The arrangement was that Professor Lupin would teach three weeks in a month and Sirius Black would replace him the one week he was 'sick', so they wouldn't miss any lessons, also Sirius would be helping Lupin in class with the more serious hexes and curses or evil creatures they were to study that year. That turned out to be the second happiest day of his life, he had everybody with him that year, his family :'Sirius, Remus, Dumbledore and Hagrid', his best friends: 'Ron and Hermoine' and of course his boyfriend: 'Draco'. But the day Sirius told him he was free definatly came first. Wondering how he got free? Well ... it's a long story ... but this is the short one:

'It was in that 'one hell of a summer' and it seemed Voldemort had gotten word that Harry ran away from home and was currently staying in 'The Leaky Cauldron' all by himself, you see he never knew Draco was there too since his loyal death eater Lucius Malfoy never mentioned this, probably 'cause he never knew himself but that's besides the point, the point is that Voldemort sent Wormtail to kill Harry for good. Wormtail accepted the mission and turned into a rat so there wouldn't be any problems getting to Harry's room. Draco was sitting at the bar by himself that day since Harry was taking his afternoon nap when he saw a rat running by, he found that strange for two reasons, the first one being: he never saw rats here since it was a clean establishment if you didn't count the dust of course, the second being that the rat looked too much like the one Ron was carrying around the first three years of school and since he knew the hole Wormtail-Sirius story he ran after it. Draco bursed into the room hoping he would be on time and instead of finding Harry murdered he found Wormtail face first on the ground bound with invisible rope and a very happy looking Harry next to him. Seems Harry felt the recognition Draco felt when he saw Wormtail and pretended to be asleep when he entered the room, not expecting Harry to be awake he was overpowered rather quickly. T hey quickly alerted Sirius, Remus and Dumbledore who on his turn alerted the ministry and one week and many interrogations later Sirius was able to tell Harry and Remus that he was in fact a free man and was cleared by all charges. The next day the hole wizarding world knew, because of the well read 'Daily Prophet'. Sirius was now free to live with Remus without having to hide himself or their relationship. Remus and Sirius also asked if Harry wanted to live with them during summer brakes instead of going to live with the Dursley's and since Draco was allowed to visit and stay if he wanted, he quickly accepted the offer' and that brings us to the present day.

It also turned to be the best year Harry ever had, al his classes were with the Slytherins, so he saw his boyfriend all day and since the Slytherins saw that Draco was serious about the relationship they pretty much left Harry and his friends alone, of course some still tried but a glare and a treat from Draco quickly stopped them, he also learned a lot in DADA, Harry was becoming stronger everyday that it amazed even Dumbledore, Potions was a lot more enjoyable too since Professors Lupin and Black began working at Hogwards, Snape calmed down a lot towards Harry afraid that his godfather might do something since the man had a very short temper and Harry was in fact learning something now and that fact even scared him. And the best thing off al was that Harry shared his room with Draco, since Harry was prefect and had his own room they were able to do that but not after asking Dumbledore if it was ok, explaining they couldn't sleep without each other anymore but Dumbledore understood and gave them permission with a knowing twinkle in his eyes that made both boys blush and leave with red heads that could compete with the Weasley's.

So Harry was enjoying his school year which was rather quiet, nothing happened yet not even Voldemort tried to do anything since sending Wormtail after Harry and they were no attacks what so ever! Harry didn't really like the silence, it was just ... too quiet ... like the silence before a storm and he didn't like it one bit, thinking that al this time Voldemort could be planning something horrible didn't really help but was brought out of his reverie by a gentle hand cupping his face and a sweet voice calling his name. He smiled at Draco and apologised. Draco just smiled knowingly, he felt all the emotions Harry was having at moment and he knew he was thinking about everything that happened so far. "Man, Harry what were you thinking about? You were miles away ... we've been trying to get your attention for a couple of minutes now, got Hermoine rather worried at a certain point" said Ron while pulling his girlfriend closer by the shoulders, Harry smiled and said "Oh, just stuff ... everything that happened to get us here" and they nodded understanding, it was after all amazing, "Hey, what do you think Sirius and Remus want to ask you Harry?" asked Ron while looking at Harry who was being pulled into the lap of Draco "Oh right, I forgot that for a moment ... I have no clue really ... I just hope it isn't any bad news" said Harry while he felt Draco's arms tighten around him at the last part, "I'm sure it isn't Harry ..." said Hermoine looking up from her book, does she ever stop reading? "I have my own theory worked out and if I'm right it can't be bad news" and she smiled a knowing smile and raised her hand to prevent them asking the expected question and said "You'll find out soon enough ... look ... here they come ... it's time for us to go back inside" she pointed at two men coming from the castle who had come to collect them and they rose to their feet picking up all their stuff going to the two men waiting at the entrance of the castle completely missing the hooded person keeping an eye on them.
