A/N: Hi.

Disclaimer: Owning, still, the nothingness of Harry Potter. Woe is me. I should write a book on how it feels not to own Harry Potter. Do you think it'd sell? No, I'd better not try.

Thank You's: There are thank you's this time. Yes! I feel so loved. Any way, on with the thank you's,

Lo26: Here is the next chappie. I hope you like it. I'm not the best at writing.

December Jewel: I try to be funny it only works when I don't mean to. It was sad what I did to Draco. But you'll hate me for what I'm doing to Harry now and later on.

Warnings: The warnings are in the first chapter. After this there will be no more warnings. Because if you're this far in the story, (which granted isn't far) you should know that this story holds slash, MAYBE a lemon, and is probably going to be depressing.

Summary: I've decided I'm going to do a short summary of the chapter beforehand. In this chapter I have no idea what is going to happen.

Okay! Here we go!

Inside their bones

Back in Hogwarts

September 1st, the six friends were on the train to Hogwarts happy to be away from their families.

"And to top it all off, my father threatened to leave my mother for that woman. I can't believe he's been fucking that stupid blonde!" Hermione yelled.

"Hey! I'm a blonde!" Luna yelled, catching the last part of that particular conversation.

"Lun, darling, she was talking about the woman her father's been having an affair with." Ron said, taking Luna's hand. Luna blushed slightly, putting her hand over her eyes.

"Darling? Are you two going out?" Ginny asked.

Ron blushed and nodded and Luna, who was of the firm belief no one could hear your head rattle, said, "Yes, we are. We have been for two weeks."

"Two weeks? And no one was informed? Oh, you two are fired." Draco said.

Harry who had his head on Draco's lap looked up at him and said, "I wanna fire people!"

"No, you get to hire people." He said.

"Okay, Ron, Luna, you're hired."

Draco tapped him on his head.

Hermione sighed.

"Well, I guess I'm the only one left." She said.

"What do you mean?" Harry asked.

"I'm the only one who doesn't have any one to go out with." Hermione replied.

"I know some one who wants to go out with you." Draco put in.

"If it's anybody with the first name Blaise, or the last name Zabini, I'm not interested." Hermione spat.

"He's really a nice guy. He really likes you too." Draco argued.

"Well then he shouldn't have been a jack ass to me for so long. Listen, as much as I trust your sassy Slitherin ass, I don't trust many others. It's a sad, but safe truth."

Draco sighed in defeat.

"Draco? Do you have the time?" Ginny asked.

"Yes, but Harry's got my hand."

"Harry do you have the time?" Ginny asked Harry.

"Why, yes I do. It's 4:30 pm." Harry said.

"Holy shit! We better get to changing." Ron said.

Ron got up and Luna, Ginny, and Hermione followed suit. Leaving Harry and Draco alone, they had changed before they got to the station.

"Everyone's gone." Harry stated.

"Bravo, captain obvious."

Harry mock-glared, and Draco smiled at him.

Harry sat up and scooted closer to Draco. Draco leaned in closer still, pressing his lips to Harry's.

Harry smiled as Draco ran his tongue along the bottom of his lip. Harry allowed him access, feeling Draco's tongue explore his mouth for the umpteenth time since they had begun dating.

"Well, well, if it isn't my brother by prophecy." Came a voice from the doorway.

Harry broke the kiss off growling, "Bugger off, Longbottom. No one asked for you to be here."

"No one ever asks for me to be here. I just am. But seeing as I am the savior of the wizarding world, I don't think I should be asked to do any thing, I should just be allowed." He complained.

"Oh, just get over yourself." Draco snapped.

"Why are you jumping all over me? Is it because your boyfriends a worthless whore? Or just because you're not getting any?"

"How'd you even know we were going out?" Draco demanded.

"Please, I may not know Harry the best, but he doesn't go kissing up to some one he's not dating. He has more class then that, but taste I would have to say he has none. Harry why him? You can do better than that. Oh wait, I'm talking to Harry, not Draco. Sorry."

"Go jerk off! I know you do!" Harry whipped out.

Longbottom whirled out his wand and pointed it at Harry.

"Reco-" Longbottom started but soon had a wand pressed against his neck.

"Do it, and pain will become a friend to you." Hermione threatened.

Longbottom turned to her and growled out, "You will regret threatening me!"

Hermione smirked, "Not in this life time."

Longbottom stomped off.

Hermione looked at them.

"Getting a bit pissed at him?" Draco asked.

"He's always pissed me off. But it's the final year and I've realized Dumbledore loves us." Hermione beamed.

"Finally figure that one out, 'Mione?" A new voice entered the conversation.

She turned around to come face to face with Blaise Zabini.

"Don't call me 'Mione'!" She growled.

"But it suits you." He smiled down at her.

"Yeah, well, castration suits you too." Hermione said sickeningly sweet.

Blaise tensed, quite visibly. He averted his gaze to Draco.

"I'll see you at Quidditch." Blaise squeaked.

Hermione turned around with hatred written over her face. She raised an eyebrow at Draco, and then left. She stomped off to go change, which she had not done yet.

"If we didn't have her think of the fun we would have missed." Harry said, staring at the spot where Hermione had been.

"I can't imagine an interesting day." Draco laughed.

Harry sighed putting his hand over his chest, his breathing began to become ragged. His eyes rolled to the back of his head for a moment. He stopped breathing and his hands went limp.

"Harry?" Draco asked panicked.

Everything was kosher then. Harry's breathing went back to normal. His eyes came back forward and his hands grasped for Draco's with dear life.

"Harry? What happened? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, really. Just a little tired that's all. Happens all the time." Harry smiled weakly at Draco.

Draco didn't buy it he was about to press the matter when Ron and Luna came in. They were smiling like fools, guaranteeing that 80% of their time was not spent changing.

"Have fun?" Harry giggled.

Ron blushed like crazy, from his ear passed his neck. Draco laughed as Luna said, "Why Harry yes we did. It was especially exciting when-" Ron clapped his hand over her mouth.

Draco laughed so hard he was turning colours. Harry rubbed small circles on his back trying to get him to calm down, it almost useless. He finally calmed down and Ginny walked in followed by Hermione. Ginny sat down next to Ron and Hermione sat next to Harry.

So what are you seventh years going to do? Lounge around and slack off? Do nothing?" Ginny asked.

Draco looked at Harry, examining the space in between them. Then said, "Harry will. He never does his work."

Harry smacked his arm, "Listen you! I have the second highest grade point in the school! Second to Hermione of course. So there!" Harry said poking him repeatedly.

Draco grabbed Harry hand and kissed it before turning Harry's hand over and rubbing his palm with his thumb.

"Harry, do you know if McGonagall will let us do animagus lessons this year?" Ron asked.

"Why should I know?"

"Umm... teacher's pet." Draco stated.

"I am not a teacher's pet. I just happen to have more power over her?" Harry said choosing his words carefully.

"Yeah, yeah, come on do you know?" Hermione asked impatiently.

"Yes we are. Happy now?" Harry asked.

"Yes!" Ron shouted.

The train slowly stopped and they bounded off the train. They grabbed hands so not to lose each other. They headed off towards the horseless carriages. Luna stopped to pet one.

"What do you see?" Harry asked.

"Creatures." Luna replied distantly. She looked the invisible animal up and down before stepping into the cart.

"Tallyho!" Ginny yelled.

And they were off.

"So what do you think school will be like this year?" Luna asked.

"School." Ron frowned.

"You know Ronald if you actually studied your work you may find it interesting." Hermione scolded.

Ron rolled his eyes at her.

Hermione huffed and turned away from him.

"So who's up for the exciting sport of Quidditch?" Harry asked.

"Me." Draco, Ron, and Ginny said simultaneously.

"Big surprise." Luna laughed.

"Who do you think will be captain of the Gryfindor Quidditch team, Harry?" Ginny inquired.

"As long as Neville doesn't acquire the position I will be happy."

"Oh Harry you've been playing since your first year. Who do you think is going to be captain?" Draco questioned.

"Ron?" Harry guessed.

"Could be." Luna said

"I seriously doubt it. I only joined two years ago." Ron argued.

"That means nothing to me. You've got my vote." Harry returned.

The horseless carriages sped onward to Hogwarts. Coming ever closer. They sped past the Forbidden Forest, past the lake and to the castle building. The carriages stopped and let the children out.

The six members of the inseparable troupe walked into the building and went to the Ravenclaw table, seeing as both Slitherin and Gryfindor looked them down upon.

As they took their seat the first years came into the Grand Hall led by McGonagall. The First Years gathered in front of the Sorting Hat as McGonagall call off the names one by one.

The First Years took their places and Dumbledore stood.

"There are a few words I would love nothing more than to share with you at this moment," Harry smiled as he remembered this part of Dumbledore's speeches, "These words are: scallywag, bosh, and dally."

He sat back down and food appeared onto the platter. As Harry shoveled mashed potatoes onto his plate Lisa Turpin asked, "Harry, is the rumor true that you and Mr. Malfoy here are going out?"

Harry blushed and whined, "Nothing stays secret in these walls, do they?"

"Harry this is Hogwarts." Mandy Brocklehurst stated.

"Oh too true," Harry laughed.

"So you're saying the rumors are true?" Terry Boot asked.

Harry nodded and the table exploded in cheers like the six had never expected.

They ate and talked and soon desert came and they started all over again.

Soon the tables were cleared and Dumbledore stood again.

"A few start of the year notices. First years and as all else know the Forbidden Forest is off limits. The caretaker Filch has demanded that I carry out the rule absolutely no magic be used in the hallways as some of our seventh and sixth years have done so well in ignoring." Dumbledore said looking at Harry and his friends. They all tried to look innocent, but failed as Dumbledore continued. "Quidditch positions are filled and will be until further notice. You may go"

Every one left the Grand Hall laughing. The six were about to part ways until they heard Dumbledore call them, "Plunderers, follow me."

They turned and followed Dumbledore into his office.

Hermione, Ginny, and Luna sat down as Ron stood behind Luna and Harry sat on the floor and Draco held his hand from a standing position.

Dumbledore looked at them all appreciatively and said, "Due to the fact that your houses have become your enemies and have become exceedingly violent to show this, the teacher's and I have agreed to put you in a separate common room and dorms. You're things have already been moved there and you will need to decide a colour scheme. A Slitherin I'm sure would not be found dead in a Gryfindor colour scheme."

They all laughed and Dumbledore continued, "I do hope you know that Harry and Hermione are Head Boy and Girl, but since they are your friends they will probably ignore your every rule break and late night escapade so it really doesn't matter now does it? Here are the directions to your new dormitory."

Dumbledore smiled and dismissed them.

They all walked out and started walking towards there new quarters. Draco pulled Harry behind an asked him, "You are going to see Madame Pomfrey right?"

"About what?" Harry asked, pretending to be dumb.

"The thing on the train." Draco hissed.

"I told you Draco, it happens all the time."

Draco gave him a look that plainly said, 'I've known you for forever, you expect me to believe that?'

Harry sighed and said, "Fine I'll go see her, but she'll just tell me nothing wrong." He was lying threw his teeth of course. He wasn't going to see her and if did, he knew she would tell him something was wrong. Some thing was very wrong. Draco smiled and gave him a small kiss.

They entered their new Common Room. It was white and plain. It was much like other common rooms, though. It had three fluffy armchairs a love seat and a couch made into a half circle around a fireplace. In the back there were several round tables and a bookcase. Off to the right there were two staircases. The one to the right had Boys carved across the top and over the other the word Girls.

"So what colour should our quarters be?" Ginny asked.

"Lime Green" Luna said.

"NO!" Every one yelled.

"How 'bout orange?" Ron threw out.

"No, I do not like Chudley Cannons, therefore no orange." Draco said.

"How about a blue-green, with the accent colour of gold, so that one way or the other, we have all our colour." Hermione stated.

"Sounds good to me." Harry agreed.

Every one agreed on the colour and suddenly the room turned to blue-green and gold everywhere.

"That was brilliant." Ginny gasped.

"So when do you think classes will begin?" Hermione asked.

"Wednesday most likely." Harry said (It's Monday. I know I didn't tell you but bare with me.)

They started jabbering about something or the other.

Harry smiled and everyone talked but it was incoherent for Harry. He looked at all his friends and his boyfriend. They looked at him and he would smile, pretending he could make out the words, but he could hear was his heartbeat. His slowly diminishing heartbeat.

A/N: Yay I have another chapter up. I don't know if I told you but last chapter took place on August 20th. I probably didn't tell you that, because I have memory problems. Oh Draco is dominant in this relationship. I just wanted you to know this. Because I must state the obvious. Oh yes, I will be including a person by the last name of Moon, I do not know which house he or she was sorted into in the book, but this person in my story is a male and his first name is Lewis. Also does anyone know which house Padme Patil was sorted into? Well I'm gonna run.

Loves and Hugs,

D. o. t. S. (Wow my initial spell dots. I didn't notice that until now. I'm a bit of a loon if you couldn't tell. Bye-bye now.)
