A/N: YAY!!!!!!!!!!  I have my inspiration back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chapter Twelve

Getting Embarrassed and Back To Hogwarts

I woke in Harry's arms.  His warm embrace was so comforting.  Today, we had to go back.  I really did not want to go and look at the Slytherin retards, but that's just me.  I'm sure Harry wanted to go back, see Hermione and Ron and get the rest of his presents. 

"I can feel you looking at me," he said with his eyes still closed and I jumped.

"Jesus, Harry.  Did you have to do that?" I said annoyed.  He laughed softly.

"Yeah."  I slid out of his arms and off the bed.  I picked up my pyjamas and put them on. 

"I'll be back in a little bit." I said as I pulled my shirt over my head.

*        *         *

"Father?" I inquired as I opened the door to his room.  He looked up, from his newspaper, over the rims of his glasses.

"Draco?"

"Can I come in?" I said quietly as I tugged at the hem of my pyjama shirt.  He nodded and I walked to his bed and climbed in beside him. 

"Long night?" He asked slyly.  I felt my face burn with embarrassment and I couldn't meet his gaze.

"I just wanted to say thank you," I said changing the subject, "for sending for Harry and thank you for one of the most wonderful Christmases I've ever had."

He smiled softly and put his arm around me.  "It was not a problem for my favourite son."  I smiled and we sat in a father-son contented silence.  "I bet Harry's looking for you."

"Probably, but he can wait," I said a little sleepily, I was dozing as we were sitting quietly.  So, we remained there for another half an hour, with me nodding off and dad reading a newspaper around me.

Grudgingly, I pulled myself out of bed.  "I should go now.  See you at breakfast!"  And with that I left to find Harry.

*        *         *

"There you are!" I said as I found Harry in the living room. 
He was packed and had everything by the door.  He turned around and smiled, he was looking out of the window.   "Come on.  Let's make breakfast."

And that's exactly what we did.  I made pancake batter and had Harry cooking them and flipping them.  Soon, he had a massive pile on a plate.  I made sausage and some eggs for Father. 

"Whoa!  Feast!" Father said as he came into the kitchen.  He had his hair slicked back into a neat ponytail and he had his normal black robes on. 

"I know, eh?" I said as I put the plate of pancakes and the plate of eggs on the table.  Harry brought the sausage and sat down.

"So, are you guys ready for your OWL's yet?" Father asked quietly as he reached for the eggs.  I nearly spat out my orange juice.

"Oh my god!!  I completely forgot about them!  I'm gonna fail… oh crap," I said a little freaked out.  In all truth I had forgotten about them.  One tends to forget a lot of things, when you're dipping in and out of depression.  I had sixth months to prepare.

"Draco!  Calm down!" Father said pointedly.

"Yeah," Harry interjected.  "Hermione has had both me and Ron studying non-stop after we did our homework since October.  I'll help you."

"See?  No need to throw a fit," Father said lightly.  "And if you really want I can get Severus to help you out."

"No thanks.  I get enough of him in potions," I said quickly.  Harry looked as if something just dawned on him and hopped up from the table.

"Be right back," he said quickly as he left my Father and me in the kitchen.

"Well then," Father said as he took a bite of his eggs.  "Draco these are so good!  Your mother taught you well."  I smiled at him little bit of praise. 

Harry soon returned with a triumphant look on his face.  He was holding a dark green book.  He tossed the book at me and it had gilded lettering.

"Cramming For Your OWLs," I read aloud and looked to Harry questioningly.

"Hermione gave it to me and Ron has his own copy.  I've memorized it.  You can have it if you want," he said as he sat down again to finish his breakfast. 

"Thank you… so much," I said as I set the book down and began to finish my breakfast. 

"Well, we should leave soon," Father said as he sent the dishes to the sink with a flick of his wand.

"Yeah, well I have to go look through my room once more," I said getting up.  I walked out of the kitchen and Harry followed me. 

*        *         *

"I don't want to go back," I whined in a very un-Malfoy like way.

"Oh, it can't be that bad," Harry said watching me check my drawers and closets. "No wait.  What am I saying?  It's Slytherin."

"Shut up!  It's just the people, not the house," I said indignantly. 

"Whatever you say," he smiled as I sat down on the bed, having finished my search.  He crawled toward me like a panther ready to pounce on its prey.  His movements were cat like, smooth and languid. 

Suddenly, without any warning whatsoever, he jumped on me.  He kissed me very deeply and very passionately.  I responded instantly.  Soon, we were getting pretty heavy.  Then, the worst possible thing happened.

"Draco, we should prob- Jesus Christ!" Father had opened the door right when Harry put his hand down my pants.  We shot apart and stared at my Father's back.  He had instantly turned around when he spotted us. 

"Okay, dad, we're decent," I said trying not to laugh after we had fixed our shirts and I put a pillow on my lap. 

"Well, now I know better to knock eh?" He said.  I burst out laughing when I noticed the slight blush on his cheeks.  Harry noticed as well and started laughing.  Father noticed what we were laughing at and huffed.  "You would do the same if you had caught me and your mother doing similar things."

"Eww! Dad!" I said, instantly disgusted at the thought of my mother and my father doing the same. 

"Hey!  We're human too!" He said nearly giggling at the fond memories.  I just shuddered at the thought. 

"Anyway," I said getting off the bed.  "We're ready to leave whenever."

"That's good because we should probably leave now," He said as he turned and went out of the room. 

*        *         *

"It's alright.  You can go find Ron and Hermione, I don't mind being left alone," I said quietly.  I really didn't mind, but still part of me wanted him so desperately to stay.

"No.  I do not want to leave you alone.  Besides, we'll hide under my invisibility cloak.  They are convinced I stayed at Hogwarts for the holidays," Harry said firmly.

"Are you sure?" I asked softly.

"Yes, I'm sure," he stated with a quick peck on my cheek.  We went to the very end of the train.  We hid out under the invisibility cloak for a good hour until we were sure everyone had gotten into their compartments and left ours alone. 

*        *         *

All too soon, the train was pulling into Hogwarts station.  I was a little depressed because I wouldn't get to see him, really, again until our little sanctuary where we had agreed to meet at midnight. 

"Come on," he said quietly.  We were just about to step off the train when I fell back.  He seemed to take this as me letting him go down the stairs first.  So, down he went and he walked for a few moments before Ron and Hermione started shouting at him and hugging him.  No offence to them, but at the time it made me want to gag. 

So, I walked quietly down the steps and he walked with his friends.  They continued talking for a minute and then Harry stopped.  He turned right around and held out his hand to me.  I looked at him questioningly; he smiled and nodded.  I smiled and ran and took his hand.  We received quite a few odd stares as the two worst enemies in school held hands.
