Chapter Forty-Four

Seamus smiled as he woke up, clothed, in Dean's arms.

"Hullo, love," Dean smiled softly, and kissed the smaller boy.

"Good morning," the Irishman returned.

"I love you," Dean kissed his neck. "I love you."

Seamus's smile widened, almost to the point of splitting his face. "I love you too."

Dean grinned at him and placed a kiss on the tip of his freckled nose.

"I'm glad you fought for me, and made me see that I adore you," Seamus told his lover before kissing him passionately.

"So am I," Dean told after responding eagerly to the kiss.

"Make love to me, Dean," Seamus looked imploringly into his eyes and shocking the other boy with his request. It was known that Seamus fucked and didn't get fucked.

"Are you sure?" Dean asked, covering his surprise.

"Of course. I always knew one day, if I found someone I would want them to be my first. I want you to be my first, because you're my someone," Seamus explained, and then kissed Dean deeply.

"I love you, Seam," Dean replied breathlessly, and then he proceeded to comply with the other boy's wishes.

Parvati sniffed and dabbed at her eyes with the tissue her sister had given her.

"It's alright, Par. She's not your friend if she'd do that to you," Padma kissed the top of her head.

"I know, Pad, but we were friends for six years. How could she just forget all that?"

"I don't know, love," the Ravenclaw petted her arm soothingly. She glared when Lavender walked through the door and over to her trunk to get something.

Lavender started to glare back, but instead, she came over to the twins. "I'm sorry for the things I said, but I hold to my beliefs," she spoke curtly, and then left the room.

Padma looked down at her sister, waiting for a wave of fresh tears, but they didn't come. Instead, Parvati had a slight smile on her face.

Neville laughed as Blaise lost his balance and fell backwards off the bed.

"Are you all right?" Neville stuck out his hand to help his boyfriend off of the floor. Blaise took his hand and pulled himself up.

"Fine. I'd be better if someone hadn't pushed me off the bed," the Slytherin glared at him.

"I didn't push you off the bed," Neville grinned. "I merely helped your ascent to the floor."

"'Ascent to the floor,' my ass," Zabini muttered, and scowled at his boyfriend.

"Don't look at me like that, Blai," the Gryffindor ordered.

"Would you rather I look at you like this?" Blaise eyed him lustfully.

"Yeah, that's better," he grinned as the Head Boy knocked him backwards onto the bed and began snogging him.

Severus didn't think he'd ever read as much or as fast in his life. He was trying to absorb the old Potions book, it seemed. There were ancient potions listed; some that he himself had never heard of.

When Harry returned, he'd have to do some serious thanking. After they finished giving their gifts, of course. They had forgotten about giving the rest of the gifts the night before, and hadn't had time that morning, what with shagging and all.

Severus was nervous and excited about the last gift that he would give Harry. Harry's reaction was unpredictable. Sev would either become the happiest man on Earth, or he would end up killing himself. And it all depended on Harry's answer. A single word. Yes or no.

Bill grinned at Cody as the older man pushed him onto the bed. Cody stared to unbutton the red head's shirt, when their telephone rang.

Cody's parents were muggles, so he insisted on having a way to communicate with them. Bill swore as Cody got up to answer it.

"Just so you know, I don't think I like your mum," Bill said as Cody reached to pick up the phone. Cody grinned and answered the phone.

"Hullo? Hi mum. No, I wasn't sleeping. Shagging?! Mum!" Cody shouted indignantly.

Bill burst out laughing. Cody glared at him and went back to the conversation over the telephone.

"No, mum. We weren't. Honestly, mum. Yes, yes, only you can still embarrass me," Cody rolled his eyes and Bill chuckled. "I don't' know. Hold on, let me ask..."

Cody turned to Bill and placed his hand over the receiver.

"She wants to know if we want to come over for lunch in about an hour."

"I don't mind," Bill grinned when Cody glared slightly.

'We'll be there, mum. Do you need us to bring anything?" Cody asked. "Alright. I'll see you in a while then. Bye mum. I love you too. Good-bye."

Bill cracked up again at the look on his boyfriend's face.

"You shut up, or you'll be sleeping on the couch tonight," Cody glared at him. Bill tried to muffle his laughs, but he ended up laughing so hard that he fell off of the bed. He stopped laughing long enough to say 'ow' and then he resumed chuckling.

'You're a prat," Cody glowered at him, and then stalked into the bathroom. Bill winced as he stood and felt the pain of hitting the floor as he heard the shower start. Cody stepped out of the bathroom, wearing nothing but a pair of boxers.

"Well? Aren't you coming with me?" the brown haired man asked, raising an eyebrow.

Bill hastily pulled off his partially unbuttoned shirt and began on his pyjama bottoms as he hurried into the bathroom.

Harry gasped and buried his face into Draco's shoulder.

"Draco, take him out of here," Remus ordered. The blonde nodded and pulled his distressed friend from the shop. Sirius and Remus joined them, and pulled them away from the entrance as, almost instantly, Aurors began swarming the area.

There were a few non-auror ministry officials at the site, and one of them was Percy Weasley. As the Weasleys were part of the few who could see the four as they actually were, and not the illusion, the red-head immediately approached them.

'You were the ones to find him?' Percy asked, seeing Harry clinging to Draco. He wasn't surprised to see the Boy-Who-Lived; he had been one of the first to find out, being the Minister's son and all.

Sirius nodded, and Percy sighed.'

"Did you see who it was?"

Remus shook his head. "We just saw someone running from the store."

"It was Lucius Malfoy," Harry spoke, lifting his head from his brother's should. At the questioning looks he was getting, he explained. "I saw his hair."

Draco scowled and tried to make his hair disappear with his hands. Harry saw this movement, and pulled Draco's hands down. The Gryffindor held his friend's arms down by holding the sleeves of his silver shirt.

"You were fixing to replace your wand, weren't you?" At the nods, Percy nodded. "Motive, then."

"The motive always involves me," Harry murmured. Without warning, he started running, pushing past and through the crowd of people.

"Harry!"

***

Harry kept running through the sea of peoples, not looking as to where he was going. It was only minutes before he inevitably ran into someone. He collided with a wizard; it was easy to tell from the build as he fell forward.

"Oomph," the wizard gasped as he hit the ground.

"Sorry, sir. I'm sorry," Harry sat up and quickly stood. He helped pull the man up. He looked up into the face... "Oliver?"

"Harry? Hullo, mate," Oliver recognized him, being part of the Weasley clan. The Gryffindor gasped for air, and frantically looked behind him. "Harry, what's wrong."

"They're going to kill everyone I know," Harry whispered, and took off again.

Oliver stood there in confusion, amazement, shock...until his husband ran up beside him. In an unspoken communication, the couple took off in the direction of Harry.

***

Harry stumbled as he was grabbed from behind and pulled into an alleyway.

"Harry Potter," was purred into his ear. An arm held his waist to keep him from running and the other was petting Harry's cheek.

"Malfoy," the Boy-Who-Lived snarled. He didn't struggle against the Death Eater.

"I was hoping that you would run from the wand shop. You came right to me," Lucius grinned maliciously and he let his hand slide over his neck and over his shoulder. He was regarded when Harry involuntarily shuddered. "Do you like that...Harry?"

Harry shuddered again as Lucius's voice swept across his ear. "Let me go, Malfoy."

"Is the great Harry Potter a virgin? I bet you aren't. I bet you're a whore," Lucius let his tongue trail the shell of Harry's ear. The Gryffindor couldn't keep a whimper from escaping and the Death Eater chuckled. "We're going to have some fun."

Lucius raised his wand and put a silencing and cloaking charm around the alley. No one heard the screams.

End Chapter Forty-Four

This chapter was dedicated to Emilea, because she stuffed more marshmallows in her mouth than I did in mine. She almost killed me over this chapter. I bet you will too.

jelly-bean- Emilea laughs in your general direction. I missed a couple days of school at the end of the week and she couldn't spend the night, so she didn't get to read this chapter for four days. You can laugh at her now.

Kalih- Have you downloaded any of Rufus's other songs? I like California too, but Instant Pleasure's my fave. In My Arms is a good one too.
