Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter but I do own the new characters in this story.

A.N.- I'm sorry for the last chapter and how it looks. FF.net did something and I don't know what. I will be more careful this time. Be patient with me, school is starting for me soon and it will be hard to get updates up as frequently as I have been. Also look out for my new stories coming soon. One story is a fanfiction of Gundam Wing and the other one is of my own creation. It will feature the Flamer family from this story but without the magic. So look out for those stories coming soon. Also there is a little romance in this chapter and there will be some in the future chapters, so just a little heads up. Thanks my faithful readers! Enjoy!

Chapter 15: A Howler

"So who else is coming to this party, honey?" asked Hawk as she and Draco sat down on one of the common room couches and started writing a letter to Draco's mom.

"Well, just your family, Harry, and Hermione. I asked my mom for a few friends, not all of Hogwarts. Besides we already have six people coming. Now we may live in a big manor but it isn't that big. I also need to send my mother what each person would like to eat," said Draco as he got out a piece of parchment and his quill.

"I can help with my family and Hermione but you may want to double check and make sure I get Harry's order right. Plus, this will give us some time to ourselves," hinted Hawk. Draco took the hint and pulled her closer to him.

"Okay let me start the letter then you can help me with the list," said Draco as he started the letter.

* Dear Mother

I know you must be shocked for me to call you that but without him around, I am free to be a better me. You must have already guessed that I have changed a lot, well you are going to get to know the people who helped me not be like my that man who used to be my father. Remember when I asked you if I could bring some friends to our house for Christmas, well I'm bringing six. I am bringing my fellow Head Boy, Harry Potter, yes the infamous Harry Potter who defeated the dark lord. I am also bringing my new girl friend (who is one of the Head Girls here) Hawk Flamer and her fellow Head Girl, Hermione Granger. Now family means a lot to Hawk so I am also bringing her family. The following is a complete list of everyone coming and what they like to eat so you know what to get:

At that point, Draco stopped writing and looked at Hawk.

"Okay, now we need your expertise for the rest of this. Are you up for the job?" teased Draco as he tickled Hawk. This got her to laugh uncontrollably and in turn made her go into coughing fit. She could not stop coughing no matter how hard she tried. After ten or fifteen minutes of coughs racking her body she was finally able to calm down.

"Oh no Hawk, did I get one of your bad ribs? Oh man, that's it, I wont ever do that again," said Draco as he turned away from Hawk. She sat up, clutching her ribs with a big smile on her face and turned him back to her.

"Draco, do you realize that I have not laughed that hard ever since I was eight and my powers came back. You have given back a part of me that I lost that day. Thank you so much. Oh and don't stop forever, just until my ribs are healed," said Hawk as she snuggled into his arms while she talked. Draco smiled but his eyes weren't in it and Hawk saw that so she decided to change the subject.

"Okay, who is first on the list? Leave Harry for last so we can double check with him before we write it down," said Hawk as she reached down and got the parchment but could not hide a wince from Draco's constant watch.

"Well, first I thought we should start with you and your family," said Draco, lightening up a bit. He wrote down Hawk's name on the parchment and looked at her for her to tell him what she liked to eat.

"Oh sure start with me why don't you. Oh well, I like, well a lot I will eat almost anything but my favorite food would be chicken, fixed anyway," said Hawk as she watched Draco write it down. The rest of the letter was finished in no time and Hawk even got what Harry like right.

* Hawk Flamer (My Girlfriend): chicken fixed anyway

Eagle Flamer (Hawk's brother): steak fixed anyway

Kitty Flamer (Hawk's sister): vegetarian (rarely eats fish, pretty much only eats greens and other non-green vegetables)

Falcon (Fally) Flamer (Hawk's sister): fish anyway

Hermione Granger: chicken or steak (grilled)

Harry Potter: anything (he doesn't care, just give him something)

Thanks again mother for letting me do this. I can't wait for you to meet Hawk; you will love her.

Your Son, Draco

*

As soon as Draco sealed the letter a giant owl flew in threw the window and dropped a red envelope on the table in front of them. They both started at it for a few seconds before Draco picked it up and found it addressed to him. Who would send him a Howler? He didn't know but he had to open it. As soon as he lifted the flap the Howler started its work.

"DRACO MALFOY! HOW COULD YOU DISGRACE OUR FAMILY NAME? HOW COULD YOU ASOCIATE YOUR SELF WITH MUDBLOODS? AND WORSE, YOU ARE DATING ONE! IF YOU BRING OUR FAMILY NAME DOWN ANY FURTHER YOU WONT LIVE TO SEE ANOTHER DAY! NOW GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER SO THAT I CAN CALL YOU MY SON!"

After the Howler was finished it tore itself to pieces. Draco was beat red with more that embarrassment, he was furious! He could not believe that his father would interfere with his life. He had already ruined his life up until now and he was still doing it even though he was in hiding! Well he didn't care what his ex-father thought about his life. He was going to live his life the way he wanted! He was going to ask Hawk to marry him and come back and teach either Potions or DADA (Defense Against the Dark Arts). This was his plan and he was going to make it work!

This entire time Hawk was wondering what was going through her boyfriend's mind. She had just witnessed something that Draco would normally like to keep to himself but she had seen it anyway. She was wondering if she should say something or wait until he said something. She decided that she would leave and let Draco be alone. As she started to leave, Draco grabbed her wand (right) arm right below her gash and this made her wince but for once Draco didn't make a big deal out of it. He spun her around and sat her in his lap.

"Now you just heard a note from my father and I want you to understand that I don't care what he thinks or says about my life anymore. The day he disappeared was one of the happiest days of my life. I am glad he is gone but he is still out there and I am going to help bring him in to justice so that I can finally be free. I just want you to support me when I go and bring him in. Will you do that for me?" asked Draco with complete conviction.

"Of coarse Draco, I will support you 100 percent. I will even help you-" offered Hawk but Draco cut her off.

"No, I don't want you to help. I don't want to see you hurt. I love you and I wont let anything happen to you. Promise me that you will only support me and not help me," said Draco. Hawk was speechless. He had said he loved her. All she could do was nod her head. This made Draco smile. He drew her into his embrace and held her tight, as if his life depended on it.

On the top of the stairs, Harry and Hermione silently watched the couple on the couch. They had heard the Howler and, on Hermione's request, were watching for any further action from the couple. Suddenly they heard Hawk yell at them.

"Don't you two have something better to do? If you find this so interesting, why don't you stop watching us and try it for yourselves?" yelled Hawk from Draco's arms. She had heard them coming after the Howler was finished. The two on the top of the stairs decided to take her advice and hurried to one of the rooms. They liked her idea and wanted to try it! So off they went for a little of their own fun.

"Nice call. How did you know that would get them to leave?" asked Draco as he leaned in closer so their faces were only a few centimeters apart.

"Well, I knew Mione would have left because she knows me and Harry would follow with his own ideas of what he wanted to do so it wasn't hard," said Hawk. Her voice was barely above a whisper. They hadn't been this close since the incident on the train.

"Well, aren't you smart," commented Draco seductively. He brought his hand up to her cheek and he felt her face tilt into it.

"I guess I am but only with a few things," said Hawk just as seductively, trying to match his confidence even though she was very scared. In all her life, she had never had a boyfriend and had never been kissed. This was all new to her but she didn't want Draco to know that.

"Well, maybe I can teach you on a few of them. What would you like to know?" asked Draco only moving away a little bit to look in her eyes.

"Well, a lot. What would you like to teach this rookie in the dating world?" asked Hawk teasingly. She would only hint at her inexperience, not tell it flat out.

"I would like to teach you many important things and the first being that trust is very important in a relationship. I can feel you trembling. Just relax I wont hurt you. I'm only going to give you your first experience in the dating world," said Draco as he leaned in to give her the first kiss of her life.

He got closer and closer until they were only a few millimeters away. Hawk was now trembling visibly. Draco just moved his hand that was on her cheek to her chin to hold her face still and moved his other hand to the middle of her back to draw her closer. They were so close that their breaths were mixing together. There was only a few seconds of delay before Draco captured her lips with his. Hawk was stunned. She had never thought it could be this good. She started to kiss back and they stayed that way until they had to break off for air.

"Wow.you're a good teacher," gasped Hawk as she tried to catch her breath.

"Well, I do need to practice my lessons so that I wont lose my touch," hinted Draco with a smirk.

"Well, I know a student who needs a lot of teaching," said Hawk as she took the hint and threw it back.

"Alright let's get back to studying," said Hawk, getting a little bit more confident.

They shared a few more kisses before they went up to bed. Going on with there lives more as a couple than before. They would steal kisses in the hallway between classes, they would sit together in class (when they could), and Draco was proving in his own way that Hawk was his and only his. Things were going great, even with Draco and Harry. They were becoming great friends. Harry decided that he wanted to get something for Hermione when Draco was getting Hawk's engagement ring. Before Draco could get the ring though, he had to do one thing first.

A.N.-Thanks for staying with me for so long. Stay with me longer in the future, things are just getting started in this and the wheels are turning in my head for my other two stories coming (hopefully) real soon! Choa readers!
