Chapter 14
Confrontation
A soft knock rapped against the solid oak door. The Hogwarts hallways were empty and dark, save for the group of teachers huddled next to the door, waiting for a response. The door was slightly ajar. A soft amber light filtered through the crack, partially lighting the group's faces. Casting shadows on their worried and doubtful faces. The door was open, but no one made a move to enter it. "Come in ," said a voice, hidden in the room. Slowly five people walked in. First Snape, then McGonagall, Pomfrey, Trewlawney, and finally Hagrid. Dumbledore peered over at them from the top of his moon shaped glasses. "How can I help you?" Snape cleared his throat and straightened his robes, "We teachers....And Mr. Hagrid, deserve to know what is going on in our school. "That's right," added McGonagall, "We are tired of putting pieces of this together, first Mr. Potter and Mr.Malfoy disappear, and then this one," she pointed at Trewlawney, "is going on about the end of the world, and besides all that something doesn't...feel right." "It's admirable for you to concern yourselves, but there isn't any need to. I trust Harry and Draco will have to take care of it." McGonagall scoffed, "Those two, they'll never stop fighting, the longer we wait, the further they'll walk into more danger!" "Oh, I think they've had a change of heart towards each other." Dumbledore smiled good naturedly at all the faces frowning in disbelief. Indeed, it was no secret the boys did not like each other. "I..don't understand," McGonagall said, adjusting her glasses in disbelief. Dumbledore laughed gently, "Ok, I guess I'll just have to say it out right , Harry and Draco," he cleared his throat," are, in doubt much more intimate with each other, that is to say, they've fallen in love." Snape sneered and gritted his teeth. Pomfrey covered her mouth and squeaked "Oh my, Oh my," over and over again. Trewlawney nodded in agreement as if she knew all along Hagrid looked confused, "That can't be right, Dumbledore, there mus' be sum kind o' mistake." McGonagall was silent. "Well, fallen in love is probably inaccurate, it's probably been there, somewhere, when they first met." They room became quiet again, except for Pomfrey who kept doing her "Oh my's'" Snape folded his arms across his chest, "For Christ's sake, grow up people. It's just two boys having sex with each other, it's not like this school never came across that before," he paused, "Especially in cupboards, and hell, what do you think half of our students do on their free time in the dormitories?" The rest of the group muttered their agreements. No arguments there. He turned to face Dumbledore, "I don't care if the world depends on them, they shouldn't face alone, and they shouldn't be facing such danger. One of us has to go find them, and quickly, if not to bring them home, to make sure they don't die!" Dumbledore adjusted his spectacles in surprise, "I am sure they already have some outside help-" "More won't hurt," interrupted Snape, standing indignant. "So, are you volunteering, Severus?" Asked Dumbledore. He adjusted his cloak and straightened some more"Yes, I have my responsibilities." Dumbledore sighed, "I think if I said no, you'd go anyway, so I'll say, good luck ,instead." Snape smiled darkly at him, "Thank you." As they departed from the office, McGonagall shot Snape a sideways glance. "You stood up for those boys remarkably well, I didn't think you would care so much...is this personal relating?" "What are you saying Minerva?" Snape said darkly. "I am asking if you're a homosexual." "Not that it's any of your business, but no I'm not." "Oh?" "I'm a bisexual, are you happy now? Are you done prying into my private life?" She clucked her tongue sharply, "No need to be so pouty Severus, just go and find those boys."
The soft morning light splayed across the sleeping boys, warming their faces, and casting soft shadows from the ripples of the sheets. A very nice, promising morning. Draco awoke to a hard hoof prooding his side, and a very perturbed face peering down at him. Nyah glared at the scene, the blonde haired vixen laying next to Harry, with sheets tangled between his legs, and a very contempte look on his face. The other boy slept peacefully by his side. Draco smiled sheepishly a her, "What?" She stamped her hind hoof in annoyance."What are you thinking, he's injured, he needs his REST," she crossed her arms and set her almighty glare on him. He shrank back and shrugged,"These things happen, there's just no way around it." She narrowed her eyes."HMMPH, don't make me seperate you two." He yawned, "Relax, he's fine, I was careful," he smiled. She snorted in disbelief,"Careful? You are nothing but reckless. Now I think it's time for you to get up, Firenize wants to talk with you. Your clothes are over there, they're clean." She jerked her thumb over her shoulder to a pile of folded, clean, clothes. "When...did..you get ahold of my clothes?" He asked suspsciously. She winked and blew a kiss at him as she left the shelter. "Wow," he said amazed," Centuars are the pervs of the forest." "Well, I guess you guys have something in common, then huh," asked Harry sleepily, rubbing his eyes. "Hmm," he rolled next to Harry and placed his arms across his chest from behind, holding him tightly, "I could take offense to that." He kissed the back of his neck. "I'm only stating the obvioUS, hey, watch where those hands go!"He squrimed uncomfortably. Draco laughed and slowly licked the edge of the other boy's ear. Harry's face started to tint to red. "Aww, you're so cute when you blush." He teased. "Don't you have somewhere to go," he mumbled. "What? Harry doesn't want to play with me? He mocked, as he slide his hand downwards. "That's right." He turned and literally kicked Draco out of bed. "And don't come back until you've learned some manners," he said aiming another kick at Draco's head. "Ok, ok, geez, I try to show a little love, and this's what I get," he mumbled, pulling on his pants. "Noobody wants Draco around, oh no, Draco's 'creepy'," he muttered
