Chapter Twenty-Seven
On the Train Back to School
"Ready?" Harry asked, as he picked up the last of the suitcases. We opted for a couple of suitcases this time as opposed to our normal trunks because Harry insisted on carrying everything so we had a suitcase, a backpack and a carry on.
"Yes, let's go," I said as I glanced around the room once more before I grabbed my cloak.
I walked to the door and opened it for Harry, it was the least I could do. He stumbled out. It was very funny. When we got to the top of the stairs I offered to take something.
"No, no. I'm okay," he smiled bravely as he negotiated with the bags and the stairs.
"It's your funeral," I laughed.
"Thank you," he said as he walked down the steps. He stumbled for a while and stopped about mid way.
"Honestly Harry," I sighed and waved my wind. "Agitabilis."
"Whoa! Thank you," he said sheepishly as my spell surrounded the bags and made them lighter.
"No problem," I grinned. I could have been evil and let him do it on his own but I was feeling in a particularly generous mood that day.
"Hello, boys," Remus said from where he was spread out on the couch reading.
"Hello," I smiled happily.
"Hi," Harry said as he dropped all of our bags at once. "Where is Sirius?"
"I don't know I wasn't paying attention. Why do you ask?" Remus asked.
"Because usually when I come downstairs in the morning, you two are on the couch sucking each other's faces off," he replied casually.
"Bugger off," Remus mumbled while blushing furiously. My boyfriend was starting to get really bold. "We don't complain when we have to listen to you two, do we?"
"I wasn't complaining," Harry answered keeping the little quarrel going. They were just trying to provoke each other. There was no anger in their eyes. "I was merely pointing something out." He said with a smirk.
"I'm sure," Remus said with a slight smile as he returned to his book.
"Harry you could've broken something," I said as I noticed our bags haphazardly dropped on the floor. I went over to make sure and Harry followed.
Sirius came in from another door, to the right, as we were in the entryway. He couldn't see us and we didn't notice him until he said, "Now where were we?"
I giggled and blushed. Harry had a triumphant look on his face as he tried desperately not to laugh. I was the one who lost control. I burst out laughing and Harry was laughing very hard not two seconds later.
"Oh my god! Remus!" Sirius said slightly mortified. "You could have said something!"
"Well I couldn't when you were sucking on my tongue," Remus said matter-of-factly. That was the first and last time I hadn't seen him blush while saying something in that context.
That comment made Harry and I laugh even harder.
"Honestly, must you two do that in front of me in my living room," Father said in a mock-disgusted voice.
"Yes," Sirius replied like it was obvious that they had to. "Well. We could try the kitchen table."
"Sirius," Remus hissed, blushing terribly scarlet. Sirius grinned and Father just shook his head.
"Anyway. Are you two ready to go?" Sirius said quickly changing the subject before Remus got mad.
"Yep," Harry said with a grin. He was about to pick up our suitcases when Father stopped him.
"May I speak to you for a moment, Harry?" He asked.
Harry cast a fearful glance at me, I shrugged and he straightened up. "Yeah, sure."
"Follow me," Father said and he led Harry into the study beside the living room before he shut the door.
I was worried but I really couldn't do anything. I sat down on the couch next to Remus.
"Honestly, what happened to the little scheming Draco we all used to love?" Sirius said with a slight smile.
"He received a soul that cost him his mother's life," I said darkly, then I put a hand to my mouth and my eyes got wide. Where the hell did that come from?
Sirius's face dropped. "Draco, I'm. I'm Sorry. I didn't. Mean it. like that."
"No, Sirius I'm sorry I caught myself off guard," I said as I lowered my hand.
"Draco, listen," Remus said gently. "If you want to talk we're here."
"No, no. that's all right," I replied as I stood and put my ear to the door to the study.
"Yes, sir," I heard Harry say from within.
"And it's going to take a whole lot more than those little coupons that you got him to take care of him and the baby. There will be times when you'll have to give in and times when you'll have to put your foot down for the sake of the two of them.
"The safety of my son and grandchild lies in your hands. I expect you to do everything that is within your power to protect them, understand? And I expect no less from Draco," Father said seriously, he probably knew I was listening but what he said about me went without saying.
"Yes sir," Harry replied again, very seriously.
"What are they saying?" Sirius asked interestedly. I flicked my hand at him as if to say 'shut up!'. He did. I could practically hear him pouting.
"But having said that, I'm here if you need to talk to me about anything and if you have questions. I'm just an owl away."
They talked some more in a jumble of words that I was trying to decipher but suddenly the door opened and I fell into the arms of my father.
"Draco," he said with reprove.
"Ah. Hi Dad," I smiled as I straightened up.
* * *
"See you guys!" Remus called as the train sped away from the platform.
"Bye!" Harry and I both called out the window, waving. Sirius, Remus and Father's forms disappeared as the train sped away from the station.
"Well, how was your break?" Hermione asked interestedly as she settled back into Ron.
"It was great," Harry said smiling happily as he grabbed my hand and laced our fingers.
We were silent for a while after that. I could tell Hermione was itching to ask us something, but for a while she held back. Then she asked.
"Harry, why do you have suitcases rather than a trunk?" She asked slowly.
"Uh." Harry said lamely. "It's easier to carry?" He offered.
"Why on earth, Draco, would you let Harry carry both his and your luggage?" Ron demanded.
"Bugger off." Was my simple reply.
"Excuse me?" Ron said indignantly.
"You heard me," I smirked.
"Draco," Harry said with a slight scolding tone.
"Ron," Hermione said with the exact same tone. Ron shut up immediately but I grinned and was about to say another smart remark when Harry squeezed my hand.
