Draco Malfoy's Little Black Book
Chapter 6
Harry was allowed to leave the hospital wing on the condition that he stayed in bed for the at least one day or until his energy had fully returned and much to Draco's delight Harry had be cared for 24 hours a day. Upon leaving the hospital Draco insisted that he carry Harry all the way back to their room and even though Harry spent half the trip protesting against being carried he was secretly enjoying the attention. Once in their room Draco decided that it would be best for Harry to have his bed because it was bigger and in a nicer room than Harry's. Harry didn't have the energy to protest about where he slept as long as he got to lay down again.
It wasn't until Draco announced that he would have to change into his pajamas that Harry decided there were some things he would have to try and do for himself. Draco disappeared to find Harry' pajamas and walked back in holding the only pair Harry's owned, which were flannelette and very old and worn. Draco screwed up his nose at them and left them on the floor whilst he searched through his walk in wardrobe for a moment before returning with a nice new pair of emerald green silk pajamas, which he informed Harry would fit him perfectly. Harry made Draco wait outside the door whilst he changed and it was only then that Harry fully realized how much he was going to need the other boys help. He fumbled for some time with the clasp his robe before giving up and trying to take of his shoes. With some effort he managed to get one of but felt too sick to bend down again. He decided to stand up so he could at least take of his trousers but regretted it as soon as he did feeling light headed and dizzy, his legs were hardly able to support his own weight. "Draco", Harry called, his voice was so weak and quite he wasn't even sure if Draco would be able to here him. "Draco," he tried again, "can you help me?"
Draco slowly opened the door and entered the room and had to stifle a laugh when he saw Harry standing helplessly holding onto the wall with his cloak twisted and one shoe one, but as he approached his partner and saw the truly desperate and distressed Harry was Draco's amusement turned to love in an instant. He took the boy gently by the arm and sat him back down on the bed and started to take of his other shoe and his socks. Harry, who felt so hopeless and defenseless, had finally admitted defeat, and sat still to let the blond boy undress him until he was left wearing only his t-shirt and boxer shorts. Draco smiled as he lifted Harry's t-shirt over his head to reveal a very red and embarrassed Harry. Draco noticed how thin Harry was and made a mental note to make sure once he was well again he started eating properly.
The room was silent and Harry was gazing at his lap. He didn't feel comfortable with his body and was even less comfortable with Draco looking at him. Harry was sure that Draco was judging him and couldn't see how he would pass the test. He remembered so many a mornings standing in front of his mirror cursing what he saw, hating the person looking back at him. It was something he had never been able to talk to anyone else about, everyone thought he was special but he felt like nothing, he didn't even look like a hero should. Harry started wishing that Draco would just put his clothes back on and leave him alone. He didn't feel like he deserved to be looked at by such a kind person. Draco looked Harry's naked upper-body over and liked what he saw. His mates skin looked so soft and pure, besides the skinniness Draco noticed some toning starting to show which he guessed was from Harry playing Quidditch all the time.
Draco watched Harry's distressed and miserable face and couldn't help himself but to let his little finger glide gently across Harry's 'oh so smooth skin' before taking Harry's chin in his hand and lifting his head so he was looking at him. Draco smiled and Harry unsuccessfully tried to smile back. "You really are beautiful" Draco almost whispered and watched satisfied as Harry started burning red again unable to think of a reply to Draco's sudden statement and not believing a word of what he said Harry just remained silent.
Not wanting to distress Harry any further Draco finished dressing him and gently tucked him into the black silk sheets. Harry snuggled back on the pillows feeling comfortable and watched as Draco raced around the room trying to ensure everything was perfect, he turned of the lights except for a small lamp and made sure Harry's pillows were fine so that he could finally go to sleep.
Harry woke to Draco rushing around getting ready for classes. Harry felt much better but knew there was no way Draco or any of his professors would let him go to classes until at least tomorrow so he sat lazily in bed watching Draco in a frenzied panic because he was running late. Harry decided that he liked to watch Draco, especially when he was like this, unguarded and natural. Draco paused sensing that he was being watched and turned to smile at Harry.
Harry smiled and stretched. "Good morning!" Draco said cheerily, "How are you feeling today?" Harry started trying to get out of bed, "heaps better actually" he replied as he pulled back the silk sheets and swung his legs of the bed, Draco was on him in a second pushing him back under the covers looking completely alarmed. "Harry! What do you think you are doing?! You are to stay in bed all day!" Harry frowned and tried to sit up again but Draco had tucked him in so tight this time he doubted that he would even be able to roll over. Draco smirked at him. "Now stay here while I go to class and I will come back and check on you as soon as I can, ok?" Harry simply smiled and nodded even though he didn't think that he need to be "checked on" he knew he wouldn't be able to persuade Draco otherwise.
Harry dozed for most the morning and Draco came back after his first class before rushing of to his second. Around lunchtime Harry found himself growing board with being in bed, the silk sheets were becoming hot and sticky and the pillows weren't comfortable anymore so he decided to have a bath.
It wasn't long before he was swimming around in a huge pile of bubbles. He laid back in the beautiful warm water when something caught his attention. Lying on the floor near the sink as though it had been dropped was a small black leather bound book. Swimming over to that side of the bath Harry reached out dripping on the floor before wiping his hands on a fluffy white towel and picking up the book. Opening it on the inside cover he noticed someone had written "Draco Malfoy's Little Black Book" and then there was a message underneath which read: "Hey Draco, have a great birthday you sexy thing you, thought you'd like to fill this up! Love the Slytherin's." Harry re-read the message and had a feeling he knew what a Little Black Book was, the guys in his dorm had started one for all of them to share but on opening Draco's Harry realized that the one that was shared in his Dorm by at least four boys wasn't half as full as this one written in only by Draco!!
Harry got out of the bath still reading the lists and comments his mouth open in surprise and amazement. Then he turned to the middle of the book where to his, well he wasn't sure if it was disgust or amazement, there were diagrams of stick figures, which Draco had obviously drawn and then enchanted to move. Harry's eyes wandered from picture to picture stunned, "is that even possible?" he asked out loud as he turned the book upside-down trying to fully understand one of the pictures. On the next page he found a list that disturbed him even more, it was titled: "Possible Ideas For First Bonding Session with Chosen Lex-Veela Mate" now Harry started to stress, he sat on the bed and read some more his mind becoming filled with fear. Going by Draco's lists he, Harry, must be the only virgin left at Hogwarts, and also one of the few people who Draco hadn't been with! And on top of that there was some special mating thing that Draco was going to do with his mate, well with him!!
Harry stood up annoyed and angry, so Draco wasn't interested in him before now, that wasn't his biggest concern, he wasn't really sure what was, but mating was high up on his list. Not wanting to see Draco anytime soon Harry grabbed his invisibility cloak and left the room throwing the book angrily against he wall on his way out.
Harry ran down the hallways covered by his invisibility cloak thinking that he would visit Professor Lupin. He didn't have too much trouble as most students were in the great hall having lunch but stayed covered anyway. There were however, one or two surprises that did nothing to improve his mood. Firstly he caught a glimpse of Draco and Pansy heading towards the great hall together, Draco whispered something to her and she burst out laughing and then Draco gave here a serious look and Harry was sure he heard her say his name. The second surprise was when he ran around a corner trying to put some distance between himself and Draco only to nearly crashed straight into Ron and Hermione who appeared to be in the middle of a very serious conversation. "I'm sure he's fine" he heard Ron say, "I mean Draco is always there to protect him" Ron smirked and Hermione nodded slowly. "Things will work out, you'll see." Ron said in a soothing way before reaching out to touch Hermione lightly on the cheek as he gave her a gentle kiss blushing slightly as he did. Hermione giggled and took his hand as they walked of.
Harry stood frozen hardly believing what he had just saw and in that moment, forgetting that he was invisible he took a few steps back and crashed right into someone.
Lucky for Harry that someone turned out to be Professor Lupin who had the brains not to scream out but instead said in a low voice "would you like some lunch in my office Harry?" and he opened the door to his right allowing Harry to step inside the room and pull of his cloak. "How did you now it was me?" he asked, "Professor Lupin smiled, "I could see your shoes." Harry smiled too forgetting why he was here for a moment but upon remembering turned back to the Professor who had just started making some tea and started shouting, "WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME THAT DRACO AND I HAVE TO MATE! WHAT DID YOU ALL JUST THINK IT WOULD BE FUNNY FOR ME NOT TO KNOW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN, AND…"
Professor Lupin looked stunned for a moment but this was something he had been expecting for some time now and simply gestured to the shouting boy to sit down. Harry hadn't meant to shout at his teacher and friend at sat down feeling rather foolish at his outburst. "I just…" he started to apologize, but Professor Lupin simply shook his head, "its fine Harry, its not your fault, but I'm pleased you came to me, I think there may be some, well some things we should talk about…that is if you want to?" Harry nodded and started to blush as he explained about the book he found in Draco's room. Professor Lupin simply nodded understandingly even though Harry had left out some of what he considered to be the most embarrassing things, such as the moving diagrams. "A Little Black Book," Lupin said with a laugh, Harry looked up at him curiously waiting for an explanation. "You see Harry, the reason I laugh is it reminded me of a book your god-father had similar to that when he was at Hogwarts, although he had moving diagrams in his!" Lupin smiled and Harry mumbled something about so did Draco's and Lupin just nodded knowingly and Harry smiled as well. There was a moments silence while Harry looked blushingly at the floor and Professor Lupin attempted to hide his smile before continuing. "Harry, have you ever been kissed before?" Harry nodded and Professor Lupin smiles, "but I am guessing that's all, am I right?" Harry nodded again, now glowing with embarrassment, but Professor Lupin smiled and pretended not to notice.
"Do you know all about babies and how they are made and born Harry?" Professor Lupin asked curiously, he knew Harry's muggle relatives would have probably not bothered talking to him about things like this, Harry nodded, "I learnt at muggle school and then Ron told me how male wizards can have babies as well" he mumbled again. Professor Lupin nodded. "Well you seem to know how everything works then Harry, and of course it's the same for wizards as it if for people only we can use spells to prevent pregnancy as well."
Harry nodded and sighed. He knew all about this but what he didn't know was if he was ready or if he wanted to do it. Professor Lupin seemed to read his mind, of course he didn't really but he remembered himself being in Harry's position several years ago now when Sirius and he had first started dating. As a werewolf he had accepted the fact that he would have to spend his life alone and then one glorious day Sirius announced that he shared the same feelings that Lupin already knew he had. Sirius of course had never pushed or rushed Lupin and Lupin knew that Draco would be the same for Harry but he also knew how hard it was when you felt like you were letting your partner down. "Harry," Lupin said, "you do know that Draco cannot force you to do anything you don't want to do. And he loves you so he wont feel let down at all, being a lex-veela as long as your around him and perhaps. Well you might want to satisfy him in some ways and he will be dying to satisfy you well he can practically wait forever, if that's what you want."
Harry nodded. He was blushing less now and had started to feel a bit better. "You don't think that I'm stupid then?" Harry asked Lupin. "Of course not!" Lupin looked shocked that Harry had said such a thing and put his arm around the boy in a supportive way, which Harry truly appreciated. "Thanks" Harry mumbled, "I feel a lot better now." Lupin beamed at him, "any time Harry, thank you for coming to me about it, I am always here for you remember that." Harry nodded and his stomach rumbled loudly.
"Lunch!" exclaimed the professor who looked much happier now than he had when Harry first arrived, "how could I have forgotten!" With some quick wand movements the table in front of them filled with food and Harry grinned, "you'll have to show me how to do that sometime!" he said in amazement as he helped himself to a sandwich. "Do what?" Lupin asked with his mouth full of carrot cake, "make food appear from nowhere" Harry replied with his mouth now equally full. Lupin laughed finishing his cake, "it doesn't come from "nowhere" Harry, I summoned it from the kitchen, and anyway you probably can do that now." "What!" Harry asked spitting food everywhere in surprise, Lupin looked at him laughing, "Harry, you came into power, remember, full blown wizarding power, haven't you tried to do anything different or new yet?" Harry shrugged, he hadn't really thought about what had happened to him yesterday. "Try," Lupin said simply, "just think of what you want first, then wave your wand like this and then say appearo-foodo." Harry sniggered feeling a little foolish this was a spell he knew all students wished they could do but only Hogwarts teaches had the ability to perform it, but nevertheless he waved his wand and imagined as much candy, chocolate and butterbeer as he possible could.
He got the shock of his life when just a moment later he and Professor Lupin were surrounded by the treats he had imagined and a giant keg of butterbeer now stood in the middle of the living room. Harry's mouth dropped open and Lupin started laughing, "either your very hungry or you didn't think it would work!" Lupin said grinning. Harry was amazed both at the amount of food now filling Lupin's room and the fact that he could do that. "So Professor, this power thing, I will be able to do lots of complicated spell advanced for my age?" Harry asked.
"Yes, Harry, that is how it works," said a smiling voice from the door. They turned to see Dumbeldore looking around the room clearly amused. "However, Harry" he added "I recommend you also practice great caution and you will have lessons with both myself and Professor Lupin to help you develop your new skills, you need to work on controlling your new magic or unexpected things may happen to you. If you are ever in trouble just find one of the teaches and they will find me ok." Harry nodded. "Now if you don't mind, I would like a word with Professor Lupin here." Harry nodded again and after saying good by and thank you to Professor Lupin he left the two men alone along with all the food he had summoned deciding that maybe Professor Lupin would like to eat it later.
Harry guessed he should go back to his room and see if Draco was there, he was a bit nervous about facing him again as he had several things that he wanted to ask but wasn't sure how he was going to be able to. Instead he turned left and snuck into the prefects bathroom where he often went when no one was around or if he wanted to use a nice toilet instead of the old ones that everyone used.
Harry looked himself over in the full-length mirror on the wall; he began to doubt that Draco would even want to mate with him if he gave him the chance. "Its no wonder I'm still a virgin" Harry said angrily to his reflection who just stared angrily back at him. He touched his stomach where he had just been eating and rushed into the nearest toilet to be sick. He came out shaking and pale and this time sat in front of the mirror looking critically at himself. It's not just my looks, he though to himself, how could anyone like me? I have had no experience, except for one kiss back in my fifth year with Cho, he blushed as he remembered it. I'm not funny like Ron or smart like Hermione, now I've apparently come into some great power and I don't know how to use it accept to make food appear.
Harry couldn't stand the fact that everyone though he was special when he didn't feel special at all. Suddenly he heard the door open and someone walk in so as quickly as he could he slid across the floor and into the nearest cubical, he waited for what seemed like ages and when they left decided that he really should head back to his room. After all he was going to have to face Draco some time, no point in putting off the inevitable.
Draco was pacing madly up and down the room. At lunch he had returned to see if Harry was ok only to find the room empty and to his horror his Little Black Book lying open on the ground. I hadn't taken him long to put two and two together and while he wasn't mad at Harry for reading his book, (how could he be mad at Harry he was just so adorable!) He was very worried about the fact that Harry had been gone for nearly three hours now.
Draco had also decided not to hunt for Harry rightly thinking that Harry might need some time alone and he was trying not to scare him away by smothering him. Although it had taken all the self control the young lex-veela had to keep him in his room for the afternoon. He had gone through panic, deep breathing, pacing, running around, cleaning, having a bath and then having a shower and now he was back to pacing.
When the door slid open Draco was beside himself with excitement and he nearly died of happiness as Harry cautiously walked into the room. There was a moments silence where Harry noticed that Draco had put the Black Book on the bookshelf and he was a bit worried that Draco looked completely calm, he had been preparing himself for an argument and wasn't sure how to handle this. He basically ignored Draco as he slumped past him and sat heavily down on the couch deciding that he wasn't going to talk first, after all he didn't have a book full of dirty little secrets to explain.
Draco watched his partner's expression with interest. Harry was clearly angry and in his own right, and expecting some sort of good explanation to the book. Lucky for Draco this is what he had expected and had been able to devise a plan in which he was hoping to catch the younger boy completely by surprise.
"Harry", he began, "you know that what ever I'm going to say you are just going to shout at me so I just want to ask you to be quite while I talk and then you can talk ok?" Harry simply nodded his reply. "Right then," Draco paused before starting in case Harry did really want to talk first, but on hearing nothing but silence he continued, "I am guessing that you are upset because you found and read my Little Black Book?" Harry grunted but Draco wasn't waiting for a reply. "Harry I though you understood that the person I was before, the person who wrote it that book, is different to the person I have become?"
Harry stopped frowning, he had completely forgotten about that, and as Draco kept talking he started to feel a little bit foolish. "Harry those people were my past and new all I see is my future and present and do you know what I see there?" Harry shook his head. "You Harry, all I see now is you. And as for the mating between us, I guess you read about that to…". Harry nodded, "well I don't want to rush anything, I want to wait for us both to be ready and until you feel entirely comfortable and as I lex-veela I have the ability to know when you are ready and what you will want."
Harry couldn't believe Draco was being so nice and understanding, he mentally kicked himself for not realizing this before. Draco enjoyed the silence and watched Harry's expression soften.
"I was going to shout at you" Harry whispered causing Draco to laugh. "Do you still want to? Because you can if you like." Draco told him. Harry smiled and shook his head. "So you really don't mind if I'm not ready to do, well, you know yet. You, and everyone else, must think that I'm so stupid still being a virgin and all…" Harry paused dreading the answer but Draco just smiled and sat down next to him. "Of course not, I can wait for ever and no one thinks your stupid." Harry nodded and Draco sighed. "Well…there was one thing I wanted to ask you. I'm not sure how you feel about it, but I was wondering if…" Draco wasn't sure if Harry was ready to hear what he wanted say so he decided to show Harry instead and slowly leaning towards the younger boy Draco ever so gently pressed his lips against Harry's.
Harry felt his heart start to race, kissing had never felt like this with Cho, this was so different, so wonderful and so right. Draco's lips were so soft and he pressed back against them ever so slightly and smiled. Draco felt Harry's mouth form a smile and couldn't help smiling as well. Because Harry was smiling Draco noticed that Harry's lips were slightly parted and so with a cunning smirk Draco gently flicked out his tongue and ran it along Harry's bottom. Harry shiver enjoying the sensation and opened his mouth a little more causing Draco to smile again.
Draco didn't want to rush things until Harry was ready but before pulling away he couldn't help but quickly slip his tongue in between Harry's soft smiling lips. For the first time Draco tasted the beautiful taste of strawberries that was Harry and loved it. As Draco pulled away smiling Harry licked his lips surprised to taste of vanilla which he knew was Draco. In that moment both boys decided that they had never been happier.
The next weeks flew by and Harry decided that they were some of his best ever at Hogwarts. Draco hardly left his side and to Harry's delight spent a lot of time holding his hand and then when alone spend a lot of time kissing him and telling Harry how beautiful he was. Harry was starting to miss having Ron and Hermione around all the time and decided to make it up to them some time soon, he had a feeling they might like the new Draco if he could convince Draco to be nice to them. He had also been progressing well with his special lessons with Dumbledore and Lupin but for the moment didn't use the magic he had and only Draco new what was going on. Hary couldn't believe how supportive Draco had been to him helping him get through his extra lessons and keep up with homework at the same time.
Harry found himself now in transfiguration on a sunny Friday afternoon sitting next to Draco. So far he had been having a pretty normal day, Professor Snape had shouted him at in potions, his death had been predicted in divination and now he was waiting in dread for Professor McGonigall to hand his homework back to him. She was half way around the class when she came to him and silenced the class with a cough. "Your attention please," she began, "I would just like to congratulate Mr Potter who has received the highest mark possible on his homework." The class clapped and Harry was terribly embarrassed, but was pleased when Hermione smiled at him. If it was even possible he suddenly became even more embarrassed when Draco slipped his arm around his waist when Professor McGonigall wasn't watching and gave him a small kiss on the cheek. Now his class members were wolf whistling at him and Draco couldn't stop smirking.
Harry was just starting to wonder if he would be able to craw under the table out of sight when a very strange feeling came over him. He felt kind of dizzy and then he felt sick or was he hungry he couldn't tell and suddenly he felt the like all his bones were breaking and he tried to scream.
Draco had been sniggering to himself about how easily Harry became embarrassed when he felt his partner go stiff next to him. A strange pained expression filled Harry's face and he swayed for a moment then opened his mouth like he was going to scream. The whole class were watching him now and Professor McGongall was just rushing over to them when "Pop" there was a small high-pitched noise and Harry seemed to disappear and sitting where Harry had been only seconds before was a small black kitten.
Draco let out a scream in alarm and started wildly looking around for his Harry and at the same time the rest of the girls in the class started to scream and go all gooey over the cute tiny black kitten. While the little black kitten, which was none other than Harry, let out a tiny meow before being scooped of the seat by Professor McGonigall. "Class over!" she screamed, "out everyone" she said trying to move her over excited class out of the room so she could assess the situation.
Harry the kitten had wriggled his way out of her hands not liked being carried or being a cat and then after nearly being crushed by everyone leaving the class he had ran under a cupboard. Draco was now trying to coax him out by wriggling a peace of string for him.
"Draco!" the professor cried, "get up he wont want to play with that! Now would you please go and get Dumbeldore and inform him what has happened." Draco reluctantly left the classroom full of worry for his partner not really sure what had happened to Harry. Harry meanwhile was trying to work that out himself.
Once the classroom was empty Professor McGongall strolled over to her desk and called his name, "Harry please come out now everyone has gone." Harry the cat came out and walked over to where his Professor was. "Well you can understand me then?" she asked, Harry started nodding as best as a cat could and she smiled. "Well Mr Potter it appears that you have managed to become animagus and as is obvious you are a cat. Now I suppose this has something to do with the new powers you have acquired and the reason you are just a kitten is of course because you are still young for this kind of magic and no doubt will be cat when you are actually old enough to transform. Oh dear," she sighed "just wait here and we'll see what Dumbledore has to say about this."
