The next morning while Harry entered the potions room Severus raised his eyebrow at the boy who made his godson so happy and Harry smiled back. Silently telling Severus that yesterday had been good.
Severus's eye's quickly averted itself to a glare as to notify Harry that others were entering the room.
Harry took his seat that was quite far from Draco but he could feel the happiness from the Slytherin radiating to him. He silently smiled.
"Harry, you alright mate?" Asked Ron
"I'm fine."
"Harry, where were you yesterday?" Asked Hermione
"I had things to do. Why? You guys never questioned me before." Said Harry turning the accusation to his friends. He had gotten quite good at manipulating things to go his way, after all, the love of his life was the ruler of Slytherin at the moment.
"Oh, nothing, we were just wondering because Malfoy disappeared as well."
"What do I care where the selfish git has been?"
Harry could feel Draco's gaze drop.
"We thought you might have seen him since you were both gone the whole day."
Harry shrugged, "What do I care?" Said Harry calmly
"Nothing mate, just a thought."
They worked in silence with Harry trying to send a signal to Draco telling him that he was sorry but he never got the chance. Finally Harry wrote a note and attached it with his potion and handed it in to his professor.
Severus showed that he took no notice of the note but Harry knew that he heard the conversation between Harry and his friends and was waiting for this.
Harry walked out of the class to make his way to the Great Hall, Draco didn't care if he was going to be late for lunch.
"May I see his potion?"
"Certainly. But we both know the situation, don't look so sad my dear boy, he did what he had to do."
"I know, its just I can't wait until school is over and Voldemort is gone. After he's gone we can be together without having to hide anything."
Severus nodded. "So, how was yesterday?"
"It was perfect. We went to Paris. Or was it France. Either one."
"What's that?"
Draco shrugged, "Some muggle place, Harry brought a clicker machine."
Snape raised an eyebrow at his godson.
"You know the thing that creevy kid wears around his neck?"
"Oh, and?"
"We took some pictures with it. Although the pictures won't move, he said he's going to develop the pictures and show you."
"That's Grande. I would love to see them."
"It was beautiful, couples like us around every corner and they didn't care that they were the same gender, they fed on love."
Severus didn't say anything for a while, it was like his dreams, "Wish I knew of that place before."
"Severus, you could have had Lily when you were in school, you just didn't say anything."
"No, but it would have been great to bring her to that place. It sounds so perfect."
"It was. I think I want to live there forever. After Voldemort is gone of course."
"Yes, yes. Draco, you have lunch now don't you?"
"Yes but I want to read the note."
"Alright, quickly then."
Draco opened the note from Harry,
/Dearest Draco,
I'm sorry I had to say that what I said. I hope you will forgive me. Please inform the Severus that this Wednesday I have nothing to do in the evening. Please remember that I will always and forever love you.
Forever and a day,
Harry/
Draco smiled, "Harry's free Wednesday."
"Well then, he will have to be punished for saying what he said today won't he?"
Draco smiled and threw the note in the fire as he was always forced to do after a note from Harry. He hated having to burn them but he had no choice. He couldn't leave any evidence for anyone to find.
Harry hoped it had worked. He didn't like it when Draco was upset with him because he hated making Draco upset. It hurt him to see Draco sad.
Harry went to the DA meeting that night. They had to recruit more students since it was their last year. They decided that next year they would hand the group over to Ginny and Luna. They were both more than ready to handle the DA meetings.
Still, Hermione and Ron were both being immature about things, not allowing any Slytherin into the group and Harry had no say in it. It would blow his cover and he didn't want to do that.
Harry was exhausted when the meeting was over with. With all that extra cramming he did at the end of last week he was able to catch up quite well with the rest of the classes he had.
The next morning Harry stepped into the Defense class along with Ron and Hermione.
The first thing Harry noticed was that professor Fentson had her hair down. She was now wearing her normal robes.
Harry shook his head. She looked different today and Harry didn't understand what it was.
Fentson saw Harry shake his head and took it the wrong way. She smiled and dismissed the class.
"Harry, I thought we could start training a bit now before your classes, since we missed Sundays training."
There was no way out. Even Harry couldn't get out of this one. Harry cursed at himself for forgetting to give Draco his cloak besides the fact that Draco had class. Harry moaned in his mind. This was going to be so awkward. He was already better than this idiot teacher standing before him at defending against the Dark Arts.
"Sure, professor."
"Harry, Please, call me Audrey."
"Sorry, I keep forgetting."
"It's quite alright. But before we start Harry, I need you to help me with a problem I'm having."
"Uh, sure professor."
"Audrey."
"Right."
"Did you see her?"
"Yeah, damn, she looked hot!"
"Who would have thought-"
"Hey, stop fancying the Defense professor."
"Sorry, she was just so hot!"
"Yeah, lucky Harry got held behind in class."
"Yeah, wonder what's going on in there."
Draco's eyes grew wide open. /What?/
"Uh, Professor Trelawny?"
"Yes Draco?"
"I need to go to the bath room, may I please be excused?"
"Certainly Mr. Malfoy but beware, what you see you may not like."
/For once the blabbering old bat might be right./
Draco ran down the stairs of the attic and down to the first floor as fast as he could. That damned bitch was getting to his lion when he was in class.
Draco bolted into the Defense classroom but no one was in there.
"Hey! Harry? Where are you? Come out!"
No one answered. /What the fuck?/
Draco looked around the classroom, "HARRY!" Yelled Draco
Still, no answer. /Fuck this!/
"Accio Marauders Map!" Yelled Draco, "I'll find you yet!"
The Marauders Map came swooshing into the Defense room and into Draco's hand. "I solemnly swear I'm up to no good."
Suddenly he saw it. Both professor Fentson and Harry were in the professor's quarters.
"Damned bitch I'll kill you before the day is out I swear it!"
Draco sprang out of the Defense class and stopped right in front of the professor's quarters.
Severus had no class to teach this period, as usual, so he decided to go patrol the halls and to his surprise saw his godson stop in front of professor Fentson's class full of fury.
"Draco?"
Draco turned and looked at his potions professor with clenched teeth.
"Draco, why are you here? Is everything alright?"
"THAT DAMN BITCH TOOK HIM IN THERE!" Shouted Draco pointing at the door.
"WHAT?"
"LOOK!" Shouted Draco holding out the Marauder's Map
Severus saw the two dots on the page with the names 'Harry Potter' and 'Audrey Fentson' labeled as standing beyond the door in front of himself and Draco.
Neither of them cared what was going to happen. They bursted through the doors of the room in front and gasped at the sight before them.
"Please Professor, uh, you must have misunderstood."
"Oh, Harry dear, I don't think I misunderstood anything." Said Fentson moving up to Harry who was plastered against the wall as far as he could. "Harry, it's okay, no one will find us in here. I'll write a note for your next class."
"No, Professor, I don't think you understand. I'm really not interested."
"Harry, you are so very adorable when you struggle. We can be together. Spend forever together. I don't mind that you're younger than me. Most boys like older women you know."
"Professor, I'm not like other boys-"
"I know Harry, you're special. And I like you. You'll like it too, I swear it."
"Professor please."
"MMmm... that sounds nice Harry, Say it again when we're in bed will you?"
"PROFESSOR FENTSON WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS REDICULOUS BEHAVIOUR?" Shouted Professor Snape who was even redder than he was on Sunday.
Professor Fentson quickly swung her attention around. As if her words weren't shocking enough she was standing there in her bra and undies while Harry's front shirt looked torn.
"What are you doing in here?" Shouted Fentson
"WHAT AM I DOING HERE? YOU'RE ASKING ME WHAT I AM DOING HERE WHEN YOU ARE STANDING THERE SEXUALLY ASSULTING A STUDENT?" Screeched Snape
"I assure you it's not as it looks like Severus."
"YOU WILL NOT SPEAK MY NAME FROM YOUR PITIFUL MOUTH! STEP AWAY FROM HARRY!"
"Please calm down!" Said Audrey
"YOU FUCKING SLUT!" Yelled Draco while jumping at the professor who just tried to seduce his lion.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Screeched Audrey under Draco as he hit her.
"Unlike other guys, I'm not afraid to hit a bitch."
Draco hit her again and she was out cold with blood spilling from the side of her lips.
"Draco-Draco get up." Said Harry soothingly.
"That damned bitch!"
"It's okay Draco, lets go talk to the Headmaster about this."
"Fuck, that's not the only thing we're going to do."
"Let's go Draco, you too Severus."
"Wingardium Leviosa." Said Severus pointing his wand at the limp form of Audrey Fentson.
While dragging the limp form along their way to the Headmasters office Severus and Draco were still muttering curses they would put on her as soon as she woke up.
"Headmaster?"
"Yes Harry?"
"Uh, can, we, talk to you for a moment?"
"Certainly? Oh my, what happened to Professor Fentson?"
"She tried to seduce a student that's what happen!" Shouted Severus
"What? Who?" Asked the Headmaster who was for once in his life clueless to what was happening.
"Harry."
Dumbledore looked at Harry and Harry nodded in response.
"My, I'm sorry Harry, I didn't know."
"It's okay. Nothing happened, she just started coming on to me that's all."
"THAT'S ALL? IF WE DIDN'T SHOW UP IN TIME SHE WOULD HAVE DONE WITH YOU WHAT SHE WANTED." Yelled Draco
"Draco, I'm old enough to protect myself."
"Yes but she, she tried to-"
"It's okay Draco." Said Harry who embraced his dragon in a fierce hug. "Thanks for protecting me and looking out for me."
Draco just stayed in Harry's arms with silent tears running down his face.
Harry ran his hand from the back of Draco's head to his shivering dragon's back over and over again muttering calm words in his ear.
"Um, did you want to cover her up? She is quite exposed at the moment." Said the Headmaster to a very angry looking potions master.
"No. We should put her in the Great Hall like this and when she wakes up she'll be in for quite the surprise."
"Yes, it would be quite amusing but I hardly think that is necessary since she will be taken away from staff and I will have a serious talk with the minister about this issue."
"That is if I don't kill her first."
"My, Severus, it sounds as though you care for Harry Potter."
Severus looked at Harry and Draco and noticed Draco's form tighten in Harry's arms.
Harry looked at Severus who was still speechless then turned to face the Headmaster. "Headmaster, I think it is time we told you something that you should have known for a while now."
Professor Dumbledore smiled and gestured for them all to take a seat before him.
Harry explained their relationship and how it all started in the middle of their sixth year and how they've been trying to cover it and how hard it's been doing so.
"Then, when you gave consent that professor Fentson here be allowed to train me privately, Draco and I just haven't had time to spend together. Severus and Draco were both quite suspicious of her but it was my fault. I told them that I trust her so they both laid off her."
"I told her she could help you Harry. She asked if it could be made private but I told her that if you wanted others that it should be allowed."
"That bloody bitch." Said Draco
"Yes well, as far as our authority goes, we are only allowed to remove her from this school."
Severus opened his mouth but shut it quickly. He would not be able to do anything although he wanted to be able to kill her. That piece of crap lying on the floor tried to tear his godson's happiness away.
Harry sat up and thanked the Headmaster for his time then left with Draco and Severus.
"I guess now we tell the school?" Asked Draco
Harry looked at Draco in the eye then nodded, "Now, we tell the school."
Severus put a hand on each shoulder. "They'll understand."
Harry smiled a sad smile while still looking into Draco's eyes, "No they wont, but its good to dream."
