"Harry, just...put it down, we can talk, okay?" Draco was confused. Why was Harry acting this way?

Harry's mind was racing. It's not that he was basing his opinions on that of Ron's, but he was worried Ron knew something he didn't. Suddenly, he was completely torn. He didn't care if Ron approved or not. So why was he lashing out this way? Confused and hurt deeply by the look of fear on Draco's face, Harry lowered his wand. Draco looked slightly relieved, and stepped a little closer to Harry.

"What's going on?" he asked, and Harry handed him Ron's letter.

Draco read it quickly, and a look of deep despair came across his face. "Harry..." he said slowly, looking up into his eyes, "why would you..." He couldn't find the right words. "Weasley doesn't even know me, why would you base your opinion of me on his?"

Harry suddenly realized how stupid he had been to panick. "It's not that," he said somewhat untruthfully. "The Order's coming, what are we going to do?"

"I don't know."

Harry felt like scum. He had never been the type to trust other people's judgement over his own. Draco had taken him from the street in his darkest hour. He had brought him to his home, and taken care of him. In the past few days, Draco had shared with him his deepest, darkest secrets. Draco loved him...how could he act this way to someone who loved him?

"I'm sorry," he said. "I'm just...I'm not used to this. I mean, people have been taking care of me since I was eleven, they've treated me like I was made of glass. After everything I've lost...I just assumed I would never have anything again. It kind of scared me."

"It's all right," Draco said. "It kind of scared me, too. All my life, I was taught to hate you, it was programmed into my head. I never really hated you, I just kind of felt like I had to pretend to. You've never really done anything bad to me, Harry."

"I sent your father away."

Draco laughed softly. "I said you've never done anything bad."

Harry grinned. "I'm really sorry, I don't know what came over me."

"It's all right," Draco said comfortingly, walking closer to Harry. "What's this Order?"

"Order of the Phoenix, it's to stop Voldemort from gathering followers. They watch me like a hawk."

"Who's in it?"

"Dumbledore, McGonagall, Snape, the Weasleys, Lupin, Moody...lots of people."

"Professor Snape? Really?"

"Yeah, unfortunitely."

"Well, are they ALL coming?"

"I don't know, I better write Ron back. What should I say? Maybe I should just tell him it was a mistake, that it wasn't me and I'm fine - so he doesn't worry. Or I could tell him the truth, that I'm here by my own free will and I'm safe."

They decided the second option was a better one; Dumbledore would know the truth either way. After scribbling a note reassuring Ron he wasn't being held captive against his will, Harry tied it to Pigwidgeon's leg and stroked her feathers before sending her off. As Draco was getting dressed, Harry noticed a curiously quiet bumblebee sitting on the window sill, staring at him. He got the odd feeling that someone was watching him, and he shivered deeply. Suddenly, there was a loud pounding downstairs, and Harry and Draco both spun around to look at each other. Harry heard a tiny popping noise behind him, and turned around to see that the bumblebee was gone. He then heard another loud bang downstairs.Harry ran over to the bedroom door and slowly, quietly opened it a crack. He felt Draco behind him, with his hand on Harry's shoulder. He bent down next to Harry until their faces were side by side.

"What is it, what can you see?" Draco whispered.

"I don't see anything." The house was eerily quiet. Suddenly, a big, round green eye was staring back at Harry from inches away. He jumped back, nearly trampling Draco, both of them pulling their wands out quickly. The door didn't open.

Draco stepped slowly forward, and when he reached the door he paused, then quickly reached out and flung the door open. Harry instictively leaned back, then relaxed as a tiny house-elf scurried into the room and shut the door quickly behind it. It was obviously terrified.

"Silvy!" Draco whispered raspily.

Harry approached the shaking elf. "What is it?" he asked softly.

"Someone..." the house-elf was shaking so badly she was stammering, glancing from Draco to Harry and back again. "Someone...they is here....they is here, Sir...."

"Silvy," whispered Draco, approaching the house-elf and kneeling down to speak to her. "Someone's here?"

She nodded her head so violently her ears flapped against her head.

"Who?" Harry whispered.

"Silvy does not know them," she said quietly, then looked up at Harry and began to shake ever more. "They is here for Harry Potter."

"What did they say? What are they doing?" Harry knelt next to Silvy as well.

"They is looking, Sir. They did not see Silvy."

Another loud noise came from downstairs.

"What do we do?" Harry asked Draco.

Draco stared at Harry for a moment, then grabbed his hand. "Come on," he said, and pulled Harry back up with him, heading for the door and out into the hallway.

"Draco, what..." Harry began as Draco led him down the stairs. He wasn't ashamed of being with Draco, but he hadn't planned on revealing his sexuality so suddenly.

As they reached the bottom of the stairs, Dumbledore and Lupin appeared around the corner. All four of them froze on the spot. Harry and Draco didn't know what to say, so they just stood there, holding hands, until Dumbledore broke the silence with a smile.

"I'm okay," Harry stammered. "I want to be here."

Lupin looked somewhat confused, then smiled. "You two are happy together, eh?"

Harry and Draco looked at each other and nodded.

"I think it's wonderful," Lupin said to Harry's surprise. He then looked at Dumbledore, who was smiling and staring at him. His knowing gaze reminded Harry of the bumblebee he had seen earlier who seemed to be watching him.

"If that is what you wish," Dumbledore said. Harry and Draco both smiled shyly. Suddenly, Harry got the feeling as if everything was going to be all right from now on.

**Okay, guys, I know some of you were confused with the last chapter, so hopefully I kind of made it better.We all know Harry is a very angry, confused person. Also, I touched on the Bumblebee issue in this chapter. My personal belief is that Dumbledore has the ability to transfigure himself into the form of a bumblebee. I sent Lupin and Dumbeldore to the Mansion because I believe Dumbledore watches Harry while in his Animagus form, and I also believe Lupin is not really R.J. Lupin. Anyhoot, please review! And lemme know where you guys stand on the bumblebee thing, and the Lupin/James thing. Thanks everyone!**
