Harry re-read the letter that he had received that very morning and sighed
heavily. He felt Draco shift in the bed next to him and Harry was actually
considering hiding the letter. But then decided against it, he stood up and
walked towards the door,
"mmm" Draco protested as his arm (which was resting across Harry's stomach) dropped limply onto the bed.
"Breakfast." Harry explained, walking out.
Draco opened his eyes, that was the second time that week Harry was awake before him, and it was worrying. Draco looked across to the beside table on Harry's side and saw a rolled piece of parchment, Draco looked at the door making sure his other half was clearly out of sight and made a grab for the letter.
Draco scanned the letter and a grin spread across his face, "YES!" he shouted triumphantly, jumping up and down on the bed waving the letter above his head, he stopped and sat down sheepishly when he realised Harry was giggling in the doorway,
"You..you read it then." Harry laughed, Draco's face glowed a bright red,
"Yeah." He choked and that made Harry laugh even more. Harry walked over to the bed and pushed his blushing husband backwards, claiming his lips in a sensitive kiss, before rolling off Draco and lying beside him.
"Slytherin. I can't believe it." Harry complained, a touch of annoyance on his voice,
Draco looked at Harry turning serious "About the rest of the letter.."
"Rest of the letter?" Harry asked, raising an eyebrow,
"From Snape." Draco said dryly,
"Right." Harry nodded, worry clouding his face, "Let's not get into this."
"Harry you say that every time" Draco sighed, "Just, talk to me."
"Why talk," Harry smiled suggestively running his bare leg against Draco's, "When" Harry leaned over Draco and kissed him lightly, then pulled away "we" he kissed Draco's neck and dragged his tongue across the skin back to his lovers lips "can" he said, kissing Draco passionately. Draco kissed back but shortened the kiss and pushed Harry up,
"Because it's important." Draco bit at Harry, getting frustrated, Harry scowled and rolled over, pulling the covers up to his chin moodily. "Fine. Act like a bloody two year old." Draco shouted, completely out of patience, he stood up and stormed out of the room.
When he was in the kitchen, he leaned against the counter, which was cold against his bare skin, and looked around for some clothes, he saw a pair of black jeans strewn over the cooker, (which he thought could have been a fire-hazard, but while Harry's tongue is lower than the waist-line who would really pay attention to safety?) walked over to them muttering something about the house-elf's being idle bastards, then pulling them on and walking into the living room.
He leaned into the over-stuffed chair and flicked on the muggle television, switching to a magical channel - MMTV (Magical Music Television) - and they where playing songs from 2001, 'The Weird Sisters' where playing, then that went off and 'The Real World' came on. Draco settled down and watched it.
About an hour and a half later Harry walked into the room looking like he'd just lost his puppy,
"Baby?" he tried innocently, Draco hid a grin and looked at him icily,
"Potter." Harry flinched as Draco used his last name with all the vengeance of their school days,
"I'm sorry." Harry said, placing himself on Draco's knee "It's just - " Harry stopped and thought about what to say "hard."
Draco turned his head and looked into Harry's emerald eyes, looking for his true emotion, it wasn't hard, even after twelve years Harry's eyes still revealed every emotion he was feeling.
Finally Draco sighed "I know" a half smile found it's way to Harry's lips as he leaned in and kissed Draco. Raising an eyebrow when his husbands lips didn't move.
"Talk." Draco ordered
"Fine."
"Well?"
"I don't know."
"You want to?"
"I don't know." Harry insisted, somewhat louder than before,
"Harry. Snape may be the most powerful teacher at Hogwarts at this moment, but if something bad happened, they'd be bugger'd." Harry nodded slowly,
"I couldn't do it. I couldn't manage all that." Harry reasoned, his eyes begging for Draco to change the subject. Draco shook his head, Harry was strong and didn't like sharing his feelings at all, but Draco liked hearing them.
"You could do anything." Draco encouraged proudly, smiling slightly when Harry's ears turned pink, "Including being the headmaster of Hogwarts."

Skyler groaned loudly as she heard the other girls moving around the dorm room,
"Skyler. Get up." A girl called Rebecca encouraged, poking the un-moving lump that was Skyler Malfoy. "You'll be late. And it's the first day." She smiled, a little too happily for Skyler's taste.
"Fine." She growled sticking her feet out of the end of the bed and gradually standing up, the other two girls in the dorm where twins, Abby and Tabby. They looked identical and were both busy fussing in the mirror, Rebecca gave them an annoyed look and turned to Skyler, who she'd obviously made a point of being friends with, connections and all that.
Skyler frowned as she pulled on her robes, over her pyjamas, she didn't care. Rebecca sniggered and tossed Skyler's wand at her, with a flick of her bright red hair, Rebecca was out of the door.
Skyler took her blonde hair out of the plats she'd had them in and brushed it out, then walked to the common room.
"Hey Sky." Ryan, breaking the conversation he was having with Rulan,
"Heya," Rulan smiled excitedly but then slouched in his chair slightly as the other Slytherin's glared at his happy attitude,
"Hi." Skyler said dryly, staring down the older pupils who'd glared at her friend.
"Come on then" one of the prefects announced to all the first years, who followed him out of the door.
Skyler, Ryan and Rulan stayed at the back somewhat less eager to get to class,
"What lesson is it first?" Ryan asked Skyler, who shrugged and looked at Rulan,
"Potions..with the Gryfindors!" Rulan said, his smiled wavering as a few first years glared back at him again for his enthusiasm at mentioning the rival house,
"Ok. Quiditch try out's are tomorrow, right?" Ryan confirmed and the other two nodded, "You trying out Sky? First years don't usually get in but might as well give it a shot."
"Probably." Skyler replied un-interested, she was listening to the argument between the pupils in front of her,
'Is too. My dad told me.' One boy hissed,
'As if Snape would let Harry Potter take over Hogwarts,' another hissed back,
'Would you argue with Harry Potter?!' another growled, the other two shook their heads, filled with disappointment, 'Well that's this school gone to hell' one replied,
'I wouldn't say that, by the final year he wasn't much of a Gryfindor, besides his daughter's in Slytherin now' one reasoned,
'His daughter's in Slytherin?' another boy asked, a confused expression on his face, the other three ignored him,
'Not to mention his husband and father-in-law being two bad-ass Slytherins," another smirked,
'Harry Potter's gay?' the confused boy gulped,
'Oh Creevy do shut-up' the first boy sighed.

Hey, thanx for all the great reviews and not so great reviews, I appreciate them all (. In answer to Wesley The Dark Prince - Skyler is actually a real name and it means 'Learned One' :P
Shinigami - the point I was trying to get at was that their loyal, I couldn't remember if it was either them or Hufflepuff's so I guessed. Sorry if it's wrong but Rowling doesn't say much about Hufflepuff's and Ravenclaw's.
