Chapter Seventeen-- Fire
Harry stormed angrily down the corridors of Hogwarts; I killed all of those people. . No. It was out of my control. . . But if it was out of my control, why do I feel so damn bad?
Anger was surging around Harry, it was nearly visible. He seemed to have an unreal glow about him that normally wasn't there. . But of course, Harry didn't notice this. He was too lost in his own thoughts. He didn't really know where he was going to go. He knew going back to the Gryffindor Common room was out of the question, but he thought he might go to the room of restriction and see if Draco was there.
Draco. .
GOD DAMN IT! Fudge is getting a warrant ordering my leave. . What will I tell Draco?
Harry suddenly felt very stupid, which only fed his anger. He slowed his pace and just stood there in the corridor for the longest time, until someone reached from the shadows and touched his arm.
Draco had been hiding in some shadows from a very angry Minister of Magic. He had resisted the urge to reach out and trip the man, and once the man was out of view, he was glad he had done so. Angering the man anymore then he appeared to be, probably wouldn't have been wise on his part.
He went to emerge from the shadows but quickly hid again as another form could be seen stomping through the halls of Hogwarts. He let out a sigh of relieve when he noticed who it was. Harry.
Draco knew Harry couldn't see him and decided he'd sneak up on his lover when he walked by. As luck would have it, Harry not only walked by but also stopped just a few inches away from Draco. He reached his hand out and grabbed Harry by the arm.
Draco let out a meek yell as he pulled his hand away.
He massaged his palm lightly, his skin was red and felt like it had been burned. It had literally felt as if he had stuck his hand into the flames of a fire when he had touched Harry.
Harry turned around, his eyes flashing dangerously. "Who--"
Draco stepped from the shadows, still massaging his palm. Harry sighed, and went to hug Draco, only to have Draco step out of his reach.
"What's wrong?"
"I should ask you the same thing."
"Huh?" Harry gave Draco a questioning glance and stepped closer again, just to have Draco step back into the wall.
"Okay, seriously, why are you running away from me?"
"Your on fire Harry. Literally."
Harry quirked an eyebrow. "Excuse me?"
The only response Draco gave was holding up his hand. It was almost beat red.
"Oh my god Draco, what happened?"
"You."
Harry reached out and grabbed Draco's hand before he could pull away, and Draco was relieved to find that Harry didn't hurt anymore.
Harry held Draco's hand to his face and kissed his palm lightly, "I'm sorry, but I still don't understand."
"When I touched you, it felt like my hand was on fire."
Harry furrowed his brows in thought, but never let go of Draco's hand and instead entwined their fingers. Draco stepped forwards and leaned into Harry's embrace, giving him a soft kiss. They stood with their arms wrapped around each other in silence for a long while, before Harry spoke.
"Think we should get out of the hall?"
Draco smiled maliciously, "Of course."
Harry smiled and closed his eyes, deep in thought. A few seconds later, a door appeared out of no where.
Harry waved his hand at the door and bowed, "Shall we?"
"Do you even have to ask?" Asked Draco playfully, opening the door and dragging Harry into the room of requirement. The room was much like it had been the last time the two had visited for the exception that most of the colors were black.
Draco turned to Harry and smiled slightly in the dim light. He wrapped his arms around Harry's neck and kissed him deeply, pushing him against the door to shut it. Harry smiled and ran his tongue over Draco's bottom lip. Harry pulled apart suddenly and trailed kisses down Draco's jaw and neck. Before the two knew it, they were on the floor in a full-out make-out session.
Draco was straddling Harry, kissing him passionately when Harry pushed on his chest. He slowly pulled away, kissing Harry again softly before looking him in the eyes. "What's wrong?"
Harry smiled. "Nothing. . Well. . I. ."
"What Harry?"
Harry sighed. "Never mind, I don't want to ruin the moment. Though I must say, there is a bed for this you know. ."
Draco smiled slightly and kissed Harry on the lips again softly. "I know, but I think the floor is so much more. . Kinky. Don't you?"
Harry rolled his eyes. "Is that all you ever think about?" He teased.
"Hey, you brought up the whole bed deal." Said Draco pointedly, pressing his forehead against Harry's.
Harry smiled, "Mm-hm. ."
"Now, how would you ruin the moment?" Asked a curious Draco.
Harry frowned slightly. "I don't want to get into this right now Draco. ."
"Harry. . Tell me." Draco stuck out his bottom lip and pouted.
"No fair."
"Yes fair. You were obviously pissed. What was up?"
"Do you really want to know?" Asked Harry, closing his eyes.
"Yes."
"Well. ." Draco listened closely as Harry explained the meeting with Fudge.
"And he's getting a warrant to take me away from Hogwarts." Finished Harry lamely.
Draco furrowed his brows, "He can't do that!. ."
"Apparently he can."
Draco sighed, burying his face in the crook of Harry's neck. "I won't let him." Said Draco stubbornly.
"Mm. ." Harry kissed the side of Draco's head tenderly, "I'm sure you wouldn't."
No answer came.
"Draco?"
Harry shook Draco slightly, to find the boy had fallen asleep. He smiled softly and rested his head against Draco's, finding it surprisingly comfortable on the hard floor. Closing his eyes, Harry drifted into a dreamless sleep; troubled thoughts on his mind.
A/N: Eh. . I didn't like that chapter that much. It took me awhile to write, I don't know why. . Anyway, I'll try to continue to update quickly. 5+ reviews = Next Chapter.
Teaser--
"Ahem. . Harry. I expected you would be here."
Harry opened his eyes, looking at the smiling face of Professor Dumbledore. He looked at the form laying on him and gently awoke Draco, who blushed madly once he noticed where he was.
