Daddy Chapter 16

Since his dream, Oliver barely let Marcus out of his sight. He couldn't lose Marcus. Not now. Not after all that they had been through together. It was December twenty-second, and Christmas was approaching fast. Marcus wanted to do something nice for Oliver, but couldn't think of anything. He was laying on his stomach in bed, when Adrian walked into the room.

"Hey, Pucey." Marcus greeted him as he entered the room. Adrian gave Marcus an odd look before replying.

"Hey." He replied in a quiet voice as he pulled all of the sheets from his bed and tossed them on the floor. Marcus could tell that something was wrong.

"Are you okay?" Marcus asked, eyeing him. Adrian fussed with his blankets for a few more seconds before answering.

"W-why . . . why didn't you tell me about you and Oliver!? I thought I was one of your best friends!" Adrian yelled. Marcus winced.

"I didn't think you'd understand! Marcus replied in a whisper, looking at the floor.

"Of course I would have understood!" Adrian began as he sat on the bed next to Marcus. "I want you to be happy. You've been through so much! You deserve something good every now and then. No matter what, I will always understand. Remember that."

Marcus smiled as he blinked back tears, knowing that Adrian was the only person that he knew that would truly accept him for the way that he was. Suddenly, Terrence ran into the room as if Lucifer himself was after him.

"Terrence!" Marcus cried, "What's wrong?"

"Dumbledore . . . emergency . . . Great Hall . . . Voldemort!" he replied in a breathless voice. Marcus and Adrian stood up and ran out of the room, following Terrence all the way to the Great Hall.

*~*~*~*~*~*

When the boys arrived, the Great Hall was in total chaos. Students ran after each other, screaming, as Marcus searched for Oliver. A few minutes later, Marcus found Oliver standing against the wall, talking to Percy Weasley. Marcus tried to get Oliver to notice him, but just then, Dumbledore raised his hand to silence everyone. Immediately, everyone stopped talking and turned to face Dumbledore as he began to speak.

"I have called you all here to discuss an important matter. Lord Voldemort has indeed risen again, and, like before, is intent on murdering Harry Potter. Now, I would like all of you to remain calm as the staff and I deal with this situation. Please keep in mind that Voldemort cannot hurt you whilst you are here. From now on, you are all to remain in your wing of the castle. You are to stay there until further notice! This is a very serious situation and we only have the well being of the school and it's students in mind. We ask that you please co-operate with us. The sooner that this is over, the better. Now, each house will be escorted back to their dormitories by two faculty members." Dumbledore stated. After he was finished, the school was silent, the students in shock. This was not going to be a happy Christmas.

A/N: There you go!! Chapter sixteen!! I hope it wasn't that bad. The worst chapter is probably seventeen. Come December, I'm probably going to start another Christmas fic with the Marcus/Oliver pairing. Anycrap, please R/R!! ^_^
