"Feeling better Draco?" Lupin asked when the blonde walked into the room where he was feeding Buckbeck.

"Physically, yes, mentally, no. Harry's mad at me because I drank so much last night-is that Buckbeck!?"

Lupin smiled, "So you do remember him...yes, Sirius escaped the Dementors on him, and he's been hiding out here since."

Draco stared at the horse-bird that attacked him in third year.

"Anyway, back to Harry."

"Erm," Draco was uncomfortable in the room now.

"Right then, shall we leave?"

"If you don't mind."

They headed out of the room and down the stairs; Harry was in the back yard lying on the ground in the snow.

"Just talk to him, tell him your sorry...and bring him a jacket."

Draco smiled and nodded, heading out after his boyfriend. "It's a bit chilly don't you think?" He called from above Harry.

"I wouldn't know," The Gryffindor said, "I'm numb, remember?"

"Harry-"

"Forget it, you try to help someone and they lash out at you, thanks Draco, you've put everything into perspective." He rolled over in the snow.

"Please Harry," Draco kneeled down next to him, "I'm sorry, I was hung over and not thinking clearly, I didn't mean what I said."

"No Draco," Harry sat up, "Not this time, you won't get away with hurting me so easily. Yeah, you hurt me, or is that possible?" He got up and headed back into the house.

Draco sighed and fell back on the ground. He got up awhile later and went back into No. 12.

It was almost time for the Order meeting and people were filing into the house, most recently, Draco saw, Arthur, Fred, and George Weasley, followed by Ginny, who rushed over to hug Harry.

"So mum totally blew her rocket when she found out what Ron did to you and Draco," Ginny said, almost happily. "And Fred and George haven't talked to him since."

Harry smiled and the twins walked over, Draco frowned and headed up the stairs, ignoring the questionable gaze from one, Nymphadora Tonks.

"So what's up with Harry and Draco?" Tonks asked Remus later that night when they were cleaning things up from the meeting. "Draco looked less than happy when I saw him and Harry...well Harry was sort of ignoring him."

Remus shrugged, "I guess they're still fighting, apparently Draco said something this morning when he was hung over that upset Harry."

"You're not going to do anything?" She asked.

"There's nothing I can do, Draco already came to me, I just wait for them to need me, Nymph." He pulled her down into his lap. "That's all I can do."

"How's the twin's shop coming along?" Draco asked Harry when they were getting into bed.

The Gryffindor didn't say anything.

"Harry, what can I say, what can I possibly do to make you forgive me? Because I don't know! So just tell me because you know I'm sorry."

Harry looked over at the blonde. "You just don't get it," he said. "I'm sick of being a push over, I'm sick of letting you get away with every little thing you do to me!"

"Everything I do to you!? You've got to be kidding me; everything I've done to you has never been intentional. I thought you understood that I would never intentionally hurt you!" Draco screamed. "And you forget, I almost died for you, when Ron, Crabbe, and Goyle were beating me up, I was within an inch of my life, but I'm sure you don't remember any of that. I did that to keep you safe Harry, because I love you." He got into bed and turned away from the Gryffindor.

Harry froze, staring at Draco's back. He walked over and lay down in bed next to him. "I'm sorry," he whispered. Draco turned over. "I just...sometimes I just have to be mad."

Draco smiled and captured Harry's lips in a kiss.

The week passed peacefully after that. Leading up to the night before Harry and Draco were due back at Hogwarts.

They were all sitting around the fireplace drinking hot coco (A/N: Cheesy moment for my own satisfaction.). Lupin had an arm around Tonks on the couch, Lucius was in a chair, and Harry and Draco were cuddled up on the floor.

"It's funny," The elder Malfoy spoke suddenly. "The way things work out." He finished.

Remus looked at him quizzically.

"Me being here, instead of kissing Voldmort's Dark Arts ass, you being with Tonks instead of another man, and Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy, Hogwarts two biggest rivals, intertwined on the floor. I for one, am amazed."

Harry looked over at Lucius, it was truly amazing. He'd never expected that Lucius Malfoy, Death Eater in Voldemorts inner circle, would be so...there weren't even the words for it, so incredibly normal and carefree? Yeah, that sounded right.

Draco wrapped his arms around Harry more tightly; the Gryffindor was lying on top of him. Harry snuggled in to the embrace.

"Severus should be around soon," Lupin said sipping his coco.

Silence fell over the group again.

Harry's eyes bore into the fire, watching it split and crack, an eerie feeling washed over him and he shivered.

"You alright?" Draco asked at the sudden disturbance.

"Weird feeling," he shrugged it off leaning up and kissing Draco.

The door to Grimmauld Place flew open then, snow flurried in, along with a rush of cold air, causing the fire to blow out. Everyone sat up instantly, Harry and Draco rose to their feet, Lucius had his wand at the ready and Lupin tightened his hold on Tonks.

A figure entered the room, face concealed in a black cloak, it staggered in and looked around. "Never in a million years," he rasped.

Harry froze. He knew that voice, he would know it anywhere, it had haunted his dreams for almost a year. But, it wasn't possible...it couldn't be-

"Sirius?"
