"Madam Pomfrey?" She looked up at Draco's voice.

"Yes, Mr Malfoy?"

"Would it be alright for Potter and I to continue staying here in the infirmary?"

She looked slightly shocked at the question.

"What an earth for? You're completely healed."

Draco smiled; he and Harry had been discussing what they would say earlier that day.

"Well seeing as we study 'till late at night and as we're in different houses and with curfew it would make our study time difficult."

Madam Pomfrey thought for a while.

"Well that does make sense. I will have to talk to both of your head of houses first but it should be alright."

"Thank you Madam Pomfrey." She smiled and Draco nodded his head in return before disappearing back into the private room he shared.

"Well?" Draco turned around and looked at Harry.

"She said she will have to talk to Snape and Mcgonagall first but it should be okay."

Harry smiled and moved towards Draco.

"That's good news."

"hmm mmm" Draco replied, nodding his head and pulling Harry closer to him. "All we have to do is find a way to pass the time till we find out."

Harry smirked, "Oh I'm sure we can think of something." He murmured before kissing Draco on the lips. Draco kissed back and the two stayed locked together in their embrace until they heard the footsteps of some one approaching draw near.

Harry moved back over to his bed a sat on it pulling out one of his books as he did. Draco leant against the wall opposite Harry's bed, and had a smirk plastered on his face.

Both looked up as the door opened. Snape was standing there with Mcgonagall behind him.

"Hello sir" Draco said calmly.

"Hello professors." Harry greeted, shutting his book again.

"Madam Pomfrey has just informed me that you two wish to continue to live here." He glanced around the room once before focusing on Draco with a look on his face questioning him why.

"Because we study late and can't do that out of here because of our houses and the curfew." Harry replied.

"We if this is what you both want – and both of your grades have improved in the last month – there is a way that we can change that." Harry looked over to his head of house.

"How?"

Snape sneered, "By giving you both a private common room which only you two will be able to access. You will both return to your house dormitories at night but the common room will belong to you two."

"Whats the catch?" Draco asked, curiously.

"You will have to password it and teachers have access to it aswell as the knowledge of the password. Only you two may use it however you can bring a few friends if you are having a study session but no one can use it without having at least of you there. Understood?"

"Yes sir." They both replied.

Mcgonagall stepped forward. "If you two would follow me I will show you to your new common room."

Harry got off the bed and Draco moved away from the wall. Seeing that they were ready Mcgonagall led the way out of the infirmary and down a corridor up some stairs behind a tapestry up some more stairs down another corridor round a corner and down a small flight of stairs.

She stopped at a statue of a baby dragon that was curled up at the moment but when it sensed that it had visitors it stood up and looked at them expectantly.

"This is Volo-cui, he is the guardian of your room. Tell him the password and the door will open."

"Volo-cui. Latin for fly-monster." Harry looked at Draco.

"Since when do you speak Latin? That's not the first time you've translated something."

Draco shrugged and walked towards the dragon. "I've always been able to speak it. Hello Volo-cui. The password is 'Latito'." The dragon nodded and stepped aside. The hidden entrance to their new room opened and both boys stepped in, followed by Mcgonagall.

The room was an octagonal shape with a log fire, two large worktables, 5 big sofas and 4 chairs. There were a few paintings on the wall of landscapes and a few rungs on the floor. One was the Slytherin rug, one was the Gryffindor. On opposite sides of the room were two other doors. Again one marked with a snake and one a lion.

"Are those the doors to our dormitories?" Draco asked.

"Yes, they will have a different password than the one that opens the main common room. You will be able to set and change them at will. The house elves have already brought up your tuff from the infirmary. Keep to the rules. This is not the first time two students have had a private place to themselves, and I doubt it will be the last. Bu break the rules we have set and all of your privileges, this includes Hogsmeade and Quidditch will be taken away from you. Understood?"

"Yes miss."

"Yes mam."

Mcgonagall smiled. "I'll leave you be then." She then turned and left the common room.

As soon as she had left Harry tuned to face Draco.

"Isn't this great? I told you it would work!"

Draco smirked, "True but I bet even you didn't expect this."

Harry laughed. "No you're right I didn't."

"What was that? Did Harry Potter just say that Draco Malfoy was right? The world must be ending!"

He laughed and Harry pushed the blonde boy slightly, Draco staggered backwards and grabbed hold of Harry's arm and pulled him down with him. They landed on the floor with a bump. Harry lying on top of Draco.

Emerald eyes locked with silver, both were breathing slightly heavier then usual.

"Dra -" Harry started but Draco cut him off.

"Don't say anything Harry." He whispered before pulling him into another kiss.

Lips met lips. Tongues battled tongues and the two boys savoured the taste of the other, both wanting to taste more but both to shy to do so.

Harry pulled back, "We should … um" Draco laughed.

"Do what? I rather like it here."

"What under me?"

Draco smirked, "Yep!"

Harry blushed and without thinking he ran his hands lightly over Draco's torso, who shivered slightly at his touch. Harry smirked and continued to explore Draco's body through his clothes.

"Harry" Draco whispered. Harry stopped and looked up. "Are you sure about all this?"

Harry sat back his legs straddling Draco.

"What do you mean?"

"This. Us. The War."

Harry laughed, "I remember saying that exact thing to you almost a month ago now."

"Well have you got any idea?"

Harry shook his head, "Nope, not at all. I suppose I'll destroy Voldemort, leave Hogwarts and go somewhere, but I have no idea."

Draco stayed silent.

"What else is there to do?"

"I don't know."

The two sat together in silence until late that night when they both drifted off to sleep, each keeping the other warm.
