"Ugh! Ron would you just try to study? For once?!" Hermione said angrily glaring at Ron from across the table, her side filled with books.
Harry shook his head looking up from his notes over at the two of him a few seats down. He moved away earlier to get away from their constant bickering. You'd think they'd already been boyfriend and girlfriend. Ron wasn't helping to stop it, he obviously enjoyed ruffling Hermione's feathers. Harry had to admit though, it was quite easy to get her panties in a twist.
"No Hermione, I'm not going to let you turn me into a bookworm like poor Harry," Ron said a glancing over at Harry and receiving a death glare from him. Ron grinned sheepishly and shrugged.
Hermione through her arms up and exasperation. "Harry's just realized that you can't ride your way through school on someone else's coat tails!" she said looking as though she were ready to literally knock some sense into her close friend.
"Ron, Hermione," Harry said catching their attention, mostly because it was the first time he'd talked when they were in the library. "We're in a library, you're getting louder, and Madam Pince is already giving me dirty looks."
They blinked and looked down back at their work. Finally, Harry thought suppressing a relieved sigh, they've stopped. Harry quickly finished off getting down all the notes he needed for the upcoming Potions quiz, and rose quietly.
"Done already, Harry?" Hermione's now quite voice asked him. He nodded waved goodbye to them both and hurried out of the library.
Harry went straight to his dormitory to put away his books, before heading outside. It was Saturday, beautiful, and actually not raining outside. A perfect day for mindless strolling. He ignored the little voice in his head that taunted him he had done quite a lot of mindless strolling as of recently.
Once outside he set off for walking in secluded areas. He really didn't want to talk to anyone right now, just silence. Well, actually, he did have someone to talk to.
But, that someone didn't seem to be around. Of course, you must obviously know who this someone is. Draco Malfoy, who else? It's been a week since their kiss, and they'd seen each other since. But, yet this kiss had not been repeated or turned into something more.
They met every day after dinner in that same classroom and just…talk. Harry very much enjoyed their talking. After their kiss it seemed to be less awkward to start a conversation with one another.
As Harry slowly stepped into the shadows of the massive trees of the Forbidden Forest his eyes soon caught sight of the Slytherin. He appeared to be alone, Draco always was now. Draco sat leaning against a large oak tree and appeared to be reading.
Harry grinned, slowly and quietly approaching his…friend? Draco sat there still reading intently. Soon, Harry was practically right beside him and was—
"Hello, Harry," Draco said turning the page.
Harry faltered collapsing beside Draco. "Aw, how'd you know?" Harry said, all but whining.
Draco doggy-eared his page and snapped it shut looking at him with a raised brow. "I always know," Draco said smirking.
"No, you just have eyes on the back of your horns," Harry said leaning against the tree beside Draco.
Draco moved and leaned against Harry. "Har, har," he said sarcastically, even though he was smiling.
Harry grinned wider and flicked some grass off Draco's shirt. "I'm hungry," he said absent-mindedly.
"That makes sense, it's lunch right now," Draco said yawning, growing sleepy in the warm air.
"It is?! Come on then! Let's go to lunch!" Harry said trying to get up but Draco wouldn't budge.
"No, I like it here, let's stay."
"Draco, I'm hungry!" Harry said practically picking up Draco.
"Ah wait!"
It was too late, Draco and Harry came tumbling down. Harry slipped backwards, apparently exactly where he stepped it hadn't dried from the morning's rain storm, and he grabbing Draco's arm pulled him down.
They laid there, Draco laying atop the now sore Harry. "Ouch," Harry said placing a hand on his head. He looked at Draco eyes growing wide as the Slytherins shoulders shook. "Draco! Are you hurt?!"
Draco raised his head, eyes glowing with laughter as he began to giggle. "We fell," he said between his giggling.
Harry sat there amazed. No matter what he could do to get Draco to laugh, he now laughs at them falling?! Draco's giggles soon turned into out right laughter and Harry couldn't help but joining him. Draco's laughter was contagious.
They soon laughed themselves out; Draco relaxing into Harry, hugging him tight. He looked up at Harry who had his eyes shut and was still smiling. He looked just so…beautiful.
Draco looked surprised at seeing Harry so…happy about someone like him. "Harry…" he said smiling.
Harry raised his head slightly and opened one eye. "Hm?"
Draco sat up and kissed him wantonly on the lips. He felt Harry take in a sharp breath of shock before kissing back. Soon their bodies were molding together as the began to kiss more desperately. They both had been longing for the other's touch for what seemed like so long.
Harry flipped them over, so as he were on top. Straddling Draco's waist he began to slowly kiss down Draco's neck, slipping his tongue out ever so often. He loved feeling Draco shudder and moan in pleasure under him.
"Harry…" Draco said pulling himself closer to the Gryffindor trying to touch every part he could. "Aren't…you…hungry?"
"Yes…"
"For…what…?"
Harry pulled back looking at Draco with eyes full of pure lust and desire, all for the Slytherin.
"You…Draco…"
Draco flushed a lovely shade of pink. "Harry…"
"Hm?"
"People are coming."
"What?!" Harry said fixing himself up and pulling off Draco.
Draco straightened his robes and fixed his tie, which had come undone, somewhere a long the way. He looked at Harry. He quickly stepped over to Harry and reached up and caught his lips with Harry's. With a wink and a swish of robes, Draco was gone.
Harry stood there dumbfounded, reaching his hand up to touch his lips. He shook himself out of his thoughts and dusted the grass off his knees. Harry looked up to see the people that were coming were in fact Hermione and Ron.
He blinked as they noticed him. They made there way to him, Hermione smiled at him and Ron grinned.
"What're you doing over here? We were looking for you, aren't you coming to lunch?" Hermione asked looking concerned.
"I was just on my way now," Harry said smiling, he guessed he didn't looked as ruffled as he felt.
"Good, mate," Ron said as they turned to leave.
Harry was unaware of the large pale eyes that watched him leave. Unaware that they witnessed more than he would have liked.

Soon the day was over and Harry was making his way down the hall to the old classroom. He was contently full from the night's dinner, it had been very good.
He opened the door to find Draco already seated there. He appeared to reading the same book as he had been earlier. Harry walked in and closed the door smiling at Draco.
Draco looked up and smiled back sitting the book down and aside. "Good evening, Harry."
"Evening, Draco," Harry said sitting beside Draco. Harry had to admit, he was positively giddy about being here with Draco.
Draco nodded and looked across the room. "How has your day been?"
This was how they always greeted each other when they met here. Said good evening and asked each other how their day went. "Fine, I had an especially good noon."
Draco smirked and looked at Harry rising to sit on his lap. "Want to finish where we left off?"
Harry flushed a bright red. "Well…"
Draco smirked more and caught Harry's lips with his. Harry wasn't sure to be glad Draco started everything or unhappy that he couldn't. However, he surely was not complaining.
Draco pulled away and cursed, after few minutes of heated kissing. Seeing the confused look from Harry, he explained before hiding off in the corner. "Someone is coming," he said with a sigh.
Sure enough, Hermione opened the door to see her confused and partially angry best friend. "You're not in here moping again, are you?" she asked placing her hands on her hips and giving Harry a stern motherly look.
"No, mum, I'm not," Harry irritated said. Actually I was having a heated snogging session before you decided to drop by, Harry added to himself.
"Then whatever are you doing sitting here alone?" she asked looking irritated as well, knowing she was not getting the whole truth from her fellow Gryffindor. She hated to admit it, though, most of the time, Harry was a very convincing liar.
"I am thinking," Harry replied, defensively, though it was not very easy to notice.
"Harry," Hermione said hearing his defensiveness. "I'm not the enemy, I want to be here for you. Understand what is going on in your head, talk about your problems. Why won't you let me?"
"There," Harry said looking away ruefully, "are just some things I do not want you to know about." At Hermione's put out expression Harry quickly added, "But I will tell you soon, 'Mione."
"Promise?"
"I do," Harry said with a nod. "Don't worry so much."
"I only worry so much, because you worry so little," Hermione said with a roll of her eyes. "I worry enough for you, me, and Ron." With that, she left with a parting nod.
Harry let out a sigh he did not even know he had been suppressing. Running a hand through his dark hair, he leaned back. This was wonderful. Why was everyone so worrisome over him all the time? Sure, he attracted danger like a moth to the flame but he could take care of himself.
Harry had almost completely forgotten Draco was there until he spoke up after a few minutes of silence. "Harry," he said quietly coming out of the shadows to encircle his arms around Harry's neck. "I worry about you too, you know."
"How so?" Harry asked curious.
"I think every time that you step outside your dormitory or walk down the halls, that you are putting yourself at risk. That every second you are anywhere but with me, you are in mortal danger," Draco said ending with a soft chuckle. "Silly isn't it?"
"No," Harry admitted. "It's not, 'cause I like it you feel this way," Harry confessed further. "I feel the same way. We are never entirely safe anywhere really. So many things can kill you. Besides a hex or a curse."
He felt Draco nod slowly. He shuddered as he felt lips start to trail down his neck. "Harry…" came Draco's soft voice, hot in his ear. "Are you hungry again?"
"Yes," Harry managed squirming in his seat.

"You sure are grinning like a wild man," Ron said as Harry sat down across from him in an old leather chair.
Harry blinked pulled suddenly from his thoughts, looking over at Ron. "What—Oh I am?" he asked stopping his grinning.
"Yes, or at least you were," Hermione's voice came in, as she eyed him suspiciously.
"Been snogging with a girl Harry?" Dean's voice cut in as he strolled casually over to them.
Harry flushed and shook his head. "No," he said thankful his shirt hid the hickey Draco had given him earlier. Harry mentally slapped himself before his thoughts went back to Draco.
"Then what have you been doing?" Hermione asked still giving him the same look.
"Reading," Harry answered. He had been expecting this, and even though he hated lying to his friends, he still had to. It was to protect them both, he and Draco.
"Reading what?" Hermione asked.
"A Muggle literature," Harry confirmed.
"What is this? Fifty questions?" Ron asked in Harry's defense. Harry made sure to thank him later. "He was probably with a girl, weren't you Harry?" Never mind, Harry thought, I should just knock him a good one.
"No, I wasn't," Harry said rolling his eyes and standing up. "I'm turning in early." He did not wait for any response.
"What is he angry about?" Ginny asked sitting down where Harry had previously occupied.
"I don't know," Hermione said thoughtfully. "I asked him earlier but he didn't tell me. Told me he didn't want to tell anyone just yet."
"He has to be telling someone," Ginny said fiddling with some stuffing coming out of the old chair.
"I believe he is," Hermione said. "I just haven't figured out who exactly. He must be, I mean he can't be keeping it all inside."
"It could be Cho Chang," Ron offered.
This earned him a glare from both girls. "She is actually dating some nameless Slytherin, actually," Ginny said rolling her eyes.
"Oh," Ron said looking shamed faced. "Poor Harry, he has to have some sort of crush. Herm, you saw how he came in grinning like he'd just gotten some."
"I don't know if that was the reason," Hermione said wrinkling her nose at Ron's reason behind Harry's odd grinning. However, she thought it has something to do with it. "But there is some sort of reason behind it. We're just going to have to do some prying and poking to find out."
"That's the spirit," Ron said grinning himself.
"I suppose," Ginny said thoughtfully. "But we mustn't let him know we are so curious."
"I know," Hermione said sighing. "Like it or not, Harry is a very personal person. He would not like it if we knew who exactly this girl is he is 'getting some' from. If that is the case."
"Knowing men," Ginny said with a sigh as well. "He is."
"Well, that certainly is sexist," Ron said yawning.
"Since when did you care about something like that?" Hermione asked raising a brow.
"Hm, you're right," Ron said standing. "I was merely saying it was. No harm."
Hermione and Ginny looked at each other and rolled their eyes before standing themselves. All three of them turned in for the night. Non aware of what their in prying Harry's business could lead to, or that they might not want to know at all.

To Be Continued…?
KlKlKlKlKlKlKlK
A/N: I am terribly sorry that I did not get this in before hols as I had planning. It did not work out. Things came up. I am going to New York on January 21, so that will cut into my fanfiction writing. I have not been much inspired. I am surprised I even completed this chapter. I apologize again for the lateness. I have been focusing more on my grammar mistakes now. I hope you see the improvement! Please, if I had more reviews I would be very much inspired to continue writing. I know reviewing can be quite a pain, but it helps me so. I love to hear feedback, and it makes me feel very good about myself. I live off your reviews. You currently are killing me, slowly, and painfully. Soon I may not write at all.
The continuation of this series is totally up to you.
