Chapter 5
Draco: Well. Heh. I and Harry got in trouble for snogging in the halls.
Harry: It wasn't our fault. Dracona made us do it.
Dracona: heh. Well, I like seeing them snog. Don't you all? Thought so.

The next morning was warm and fuzzy. To Draco anyway. For the first time, he woke up without the fear of hiding Harry from anyone. It was a wonderful feeling.
Draco smiled and looked down at his lover. He yawned. It was most likely going to be a long day. People were going to ask questions. He was unsure of how they were going to answer some of those questions, but he knew as long as he had Harry, it would all be ok.
Draco snuggled into the pillow and tried to go back to sleep. He didn't want to return to the world of the living yet. He wanted to go back to sleep. If they stayed in bed, no one would ask them unwanted questions.
Harry yawned and opened his eyes slowly. He snuggled into Draco and whispered a "good morning, lover."
"Harry, love, I'm afraid to go out there. What if someone told my father? He would hurt you."
"Come on, love." Harry said. "They won't bite."
"Yes they wiiiiiiiiill." Draco whined and made a pouty face.
Harry decided that the only way to get him up was to ignore him and just get up. He pulled back the curtains and gasped. There were at least 100 people sitting on the ground around the bed. One of them was Ronald Weasley.
'This is going to be interesting,' Harry thought as he looked at the heart- wrenching look in his best friends eyes. "Ron, I-,"
He was cut off. "Don't you DARE apologise Harry!" Ron yelled. He looked at Harry and then at Draco and then left in a fit of rage.
The rest of the crowd began looking at Harry and then at Draco.
Draco sighed and slammed a pillow over his head. He mumbled something along the lines of "I can't deal with this right now."
Harry turned and looked at him. "Come on, love, you know we owe them an explanation."
Draco grumbled and threw the pillow on the end of the bed. Draco sat up next to Harry and looked at their audience.
"Well?" he asked them, raising his eyebrow delicately.
"H-how did this happen?" someone asked.
"How the hell do you think it happened? Did it ever cross any of you people's minds that we love each other? That we want to be left alone in peace? You people are so stuck up that you feel me and Harry's life is part of yours. Well, it's not. Now I suggest that every single one of you go sod off and leave us alone. If we want to talk about our relationship, then we will start the conversation." Draco ranted to the startled students.
Harry added his agreement and was startled at how fast everyone actually left.

Hermione was a wreck. She had been listening to Ron sob, cry and rant about Harry abandoning him for Malfoy. It was starting to get on her nerves.
"RON!! WILL YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GET OVER IT ALREADY!! GOOD GOD!! DID YOU EVER THINK THAT MAYBE I LOVE HARRY TOO?!
Hermione was also crying a bit at admitting that. It was something she had vowed never to reveal, since Harry had come out to her and Ron. She didn't want to complicate things.
Ron looked at her with a shocked look. He sniffed and then looked up at Hermione's tear dripping eyes. Now he felt guilty for crying to Hermione when this had been obviously hurting her at the same time.
"WHY DON'T YOU GO FUCK OFF, RON?" Hermione screamed at him. She collapsed on her bed, sobbing, and Ron left the room feeling betrayed by both of his friends.

The day passed fairly fast after that. Draco kept wanting cuddle time and Harry was happy to comply. But by about noon, they were both so hungry that they had to go to the Great Hall for lunch.
"Let's show everyone we weren't joking. I know some people think we were." Harry said as they got down to the door. "Come and sit with me. I don't want to ever be apart from you again."
"Harry, you know that I will never let go of you again. Ever," Draco replied as he kissed Harry on the neck.
Harry smiled at him and linked their arms. "Shall we?"
"We shall."

When Harry and Draco entered the Hall together, everything went silent. To the students of Hogwarts, it was a sign of the Apocalypse.
They stared as Harry and Draco made their way to the Gryffindor table. People scooted down the table, making room for Harry and Draco to take a seat.
Harry smiled at all of his friends around the table and started a conversation, trying to coax everyone into knowing that he was still Harry, with or without Draco by his side.
Neville was the first to get over his shock, surprisingly, since he wasn't even at the ball the night before. "Hullo Harry" he said.
"Hello Neville. Did you sleep well last night?" he answered him.
Slowly, as they began a conversation, the Great Hall returned to normal and everyone was once again talking.
"So Harry, are you and Malfoy together now?" Neville asked about twenty five minutes after Harry and Draco joined them.
"We're more then together, Neville." He answered.
"What do you mean?"
"We're getting married, Neville."
Neville's mouth dropped open.
"When did this all happen, Harry? I thought you two hated each other."
"I could never hate him." Harry answered as he leaned his head on Draco's shoulder. "We have been together for four years in secret. But we couldn't stand to pretend anymore."
"Wow. Harry, this is a lot for me to take in. What do Ron and Hermione think?"
"We could care less what the Weasel and Granger think." Draco answered for Harry. "It's our life, not theirs. And besides, you and I know that they would accuse me of putting Harry under the influence of some potion or spell."
Harry nodded, knowing Draco was right.
"Be careful, you two. Not everyone is going to be this accepting. People are going to try to hurt you." Neville said, genially concerned for the newly outed couple.
"We were afraid of that, but we'll get through it together."

Dracona: Hey, I was thinking about making this an mpreg. What do you think? Our little buddies have been staying away from me for a while. They is mad I got them in trouble. Oh well. Tell me what you all think.
Draco: Well. Heh. I and Harry got in trouble for snogging in the halls.
Harry: It wasn't our fault. Dracona made us do it.
