You say everything when you say nothing
Chapter twelve
It was early, just sun rise. Harry Potter was lying awake next to his boyfriend Draco Malfoy who was fast asleep.
Today was the 20th December. Harry had been to see the Medi-Wizard two days ago and had discovered that he actually was...he couldn't even think it; it had kept him up all night and with his head leaning over the toilet all morning.
He didn't even know that it was possible, stupid Dursley's, stupid muggle ignorance, Harry cursed as he felt his stomach lurch violently and he had to dash to the bathroom.
He was usually careful, he hadn't wanted to wake Draco with his early morning activities. This particular morning however he hadn't exercised enough care and as he closed the door to the bathroom the blonde began to stir.
The first thing he noticed was that he was in an empty bed. When he heard violent retching he headed of towards the toilet to see what was wrong.
He opened the door and his nostrils were greeted by the stench of vomit. It was so bad it almost made him join his lover.
Looking up Harry realised that he had company. "I had a feeling those meatballs were a bad idea."
"Yeah, I'm feeling a little peaky myself; I'll leave you and the toilet alone to bond some more."
Harry didn't want to tell Draco his news just yet; he was unsure how he'd take it. Instead he nodded as he felt his stomach lurch once more.
As Draco closed the door he realised that something wasn't quite right. However he decided to just let it go, if it was any thing important then surely Harry would tell him, they trusted each other, they loved each other.
He wouldn't hide anything, would he?
Draco decided to just go and get dressed and put it to the back of his mind where it wouldn't eat away at him and possibly ruin his and Harry's first Christmas together. Nothing was going to let that happen.
He even had the perfect present to give him on Christmas day. He had gone out only yesterday and purchased it himself.
It was a simple white gold engagement band. He knew it was a risky move has he and Harry had only been dating just over a month but he thought the time was right. It felt so perfect.
Little did he know Harry had an even bigger surprise than he could ever imagine.
Draco was dressed and sat in the kitchen when Harry reappeared; he wasn't fully clothed yet, wearing only a pair of muggle jeans.
"I have successfully bonded with our toilet, though I wouldn't worry, you don't have any competition, and I can safely say that it has no attraction for me what so ever."
"Yeah, I took you out for dinner, you gave the toilet breakfast, lunch and dinner in one go, wasn't a smart move if you wanted a second date."
"I don't think so, it wasn't much company." Then uttering under his breath so Draco could hear he said. "Though I may not have a choice."
Harry sat down with his head in his hands as Draco went to retrieve the toast that had just popped up from the toaster.
Putting a plate of it in front of Harry and offered him the butter. Harry stuck his head up looking from the food to Draco.
"No thank you." He said rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
Draco picked a piece up off the plate and began waving it in front of his lovers face. Harry just seemed to glare at him.
"If you don't stop waving that toast in my face I will be forced to leave you and start dating the toilet because it would be seeing me more times a day than you do and that's saying something."
"Sorry." Draco said mischievously. "I've been a very naughty boy; I think you need to punish me Mr Potter...like that time in sixth year."
"What time in sixth year?"
"You don't remember." Draco said a little disappointed and hurt.
"I don't remember much, don't be offended by it, I've blocked out so much, the good and the bad." Harry said in a hope of comforting the blonde. "There isn't much I remember from Hogwarts, only the different events that happened to me each year, the rest is a sort of blur."
"Then I'm going to help you remember al of the good, and where better to start than the events of sixth year, close your eyes."
Harry did as he was told; he felt his lover's presence behind him and then the soft touch of Draco's hands running down his bare chest.
"We were in detention with Snape because we'd got into a fight earlier that day and I'd accidentally hexed him." The Slytherin whispered in Harry's ear before delving his tongue in.
"I'm pretty sure that didn't happen." The Gryffindor joked, he received a playful slap on his shoulder as the blonde walked round and straddled him, wrapping his arms around his neck.
"We were in the store room, alone; we had been assigned the task of cleaning it without magic. We went to pick up the same jar and our hands met instead. You looked up into my eyes and smiled, it was the first time I had ever seen you smile."
Harry was smiling now, the memory that he ad expelled from his own mind was gradually coming back.
"You picked up the jar." Draco continued. "And you handed it to me."
"Then you put it back down and continued staring at me...I remember."
"Do you remember what happened next?"
"Kind of, we started kissing...I know that much."
"Snape came into check on us and found us in a rather compromising position. As I remember you had magically bound my hands over my head."
"I remember." Harry said opening his eyes to stare into his partners silver orbs. "I don't think Snape ever looked at us the same again."
They both laughed as they recalled the incident in their minds. Harry couldn't believe he could have forgotten something like that.
"We never got a chance to finish what we started; I couldn't stop thinking about you for weeks afterwards even when you started dating that Creevy boy in the year below."
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"Helping me remember that I was alive before the battle, that I did have people that cared about me and most of all that my life at Hogwarts wasn't all painful."
Ok I know I'm skipping ahead an awful lot but it had to be done. There are two more chapters until the end Christmas eve and Christmas day. I will be doing a follow up story but I will have to have a word with my friends/betas/people that help me over come writers block, I-Desire and Little-Red-Monkey. I should have this story finished by the end of today, so fingers crossed.
Hope you liked the new chapter, I think I got a bit side tracked with the topic of toilets but oh well. Don't blame me blame my friends. Please review, Lots of love Slytherin snakes xxxxxxxx
