Mention: Last chapter, some material was written by my friend Eli, who is amazing and I love her. Sorry, I forgot to mention, don't sue me for my Maoam Eli… please.

Also, I must say how much I love winding Sophie up just before each chapter is posted… if only she had patience and had sense in the mornings. Love you Soph.

Thank you to all my reviewers, love you!


Dawn swarmed through the holes in the walls of the Shrieking shack, causing each boy to stir from their trance; unwrapping his hand from Naruto's, Sasuke stood, stretching his taught muscles. Harry slid from the grasp of Draco, a dull pain in his neck from the position he had taken when Draco wrapped his arms around his shaking with upset form. The two blondes pulled each other up and stretched too, joints clicking in unison.

"We have to get back, Dumbledore might be pissed!" Harry said; sleep beckoning him with every slow close of the eyes and Draco nodded and motioned for Harry to take his hand, for he could see weariness present on the brunettes face, and Harry obliged as he was guided down the stairs and into the underground tunnel that would lead all four boys to the castle. The dark consumed them once inside and Harry, for the first time showed his unique technique, he had devised during the first few hours of training, something that neither Naruto nor Sasuke had seen for Harry usually stayed with basic techniques during shared training sessions.

Harry had a natural ability to manipulate light, drawing it from memories in the recesses of his mind and any light of any form in his presence. He could copy light, strip it, pull it into him and for added use, he could use light in any form he wanted, often settling on weapons that were could not be broken and could easily be re-summoned by him.

It was because of the manipulation of light that Harry found it easy to see in the dark, the ability strengthening as the days went on. He had attained this power by sitting in the dark, willing his eyes to see objects that no other human could see with the naked eye under a blanket of black, and slowly he could piece together bright white objects that shone with a green tint, much like that of night vision goggles. He had trained and trained and now, it took less time to see more things and a stroll through the sky's at night would now prove little problem to Harry. However it still took a lot of energy and chakra, and whilst the boys were walking Harry decided to imagine an orb of light in his hand and use that to walk to instead of the faint light from the wands held by Sasuke and Naruto.

Harry closed his eyes for a few seconds, imagining an orb of light in his hand, and when he opened his eyes an orb of light was, indeed, in his hand, bathing the passageway in bright light, much like a cave illuminated by sunlight.

On the walls were hundreds of love notes, claw marks and what Harry guessed via a pang in his heart as the sign the Marauders were here…once.

Walking quickly as to get to the castle for sleep, Harry tugged on the hand held by Draco and pulled him between Naruto and Sasuke, finishing the walk in less time than normal.

The boys climbed out of the hole by the Whomping Willow and ran as fast as their exhausted legs could carry them, taking no time at all to reach the stairs that led to their rooms.

"We will meet you here in two hours yeah?" Harry said to the three boys around him, and dropped Draco's hand whilst turning to his rooms, running in the direction without haste where he proceeded to fall asleep for the full two hours.

Draco stood outside Harry's rooms, his foot tapping in annoyance seeing as the Dark haired boy was taking his time to get dressed and awaken fully to attend breakfast. Naruto and Sasuke were behind the Slytherin, shaking their heads in hunger and desperation. The sleep they had so joyfully relished in hadn't been enough, but their hunger had taken over, begging them to eat now and sleep later.

"Harry!" Draco shouted in a warning tone.

"I am coming ok!" Harry shouted back, whilst pulling on a pair of trainers and hopping to the door, and upon opening it to the pissed off faces out side his rooms, he smiled and scratched his head, "God… because of you were late!" He mocked, and the three boys in front of him frowned.

"Hurry up!" He shouted as he walked passed them, almost running to the Great Hall.

They opened the doors in a style much like one of a rock star, and it seemed on arrival that the entire Hogwarts Christmas population was eating breakfast at the same time as they were, and the community of eaters were all sitting on what was normally the Slytherin table, for the other three tables were not needed due to lack of students. The teachers table was still occupied, the people sitting at it: Kakashi, Snape and a rather flustered looking McGonagall.

The four boys walked in and were met with what sounded like a rather brutal verbal argument in a language that only Sasuke and Naruto could understand, "What the fuck is going on?" Harry inquired to no one at all, and looked towards the top of the table as he sat down, his group to the bottom.

"Oh… its just Sophie and Katrina arguing again!" Sasuke stated as if it was the norm, to see his girlfriend and her best friend arguing at breakfast…in Hogwarts. Sasuke double took what he said, "Sophie…Katrina…arguing…" Sasuke's jaw dropped to the floor, almost, and dumbfounded by what he had said he looked around for explanation.

Naruto looked back, his eyes in question before he realised…there was food on the table. "Don't you see?" Sasuke growled.

"See…" Naruto trailed, as if his team-mate had gone mad.

"Them!" Sasuke flung his arm in the direction of the girls.

"Yes… I see them you idiot, I'm not blind you fool!" Naruto looked hurt, and started to eat, "Now, can I be left in piece to eat my scrambled eggs and sausages?" He looked directly at Sasuke, before lowering his head over his plate and shovelling food into his mouth and Sasuke's puzzled mind had added confusion over Naruto eating anything but Ramen.

The noise from Naruto's munching sounded very much like that of a pig, and Sasuke found it hard to watch his girlfriend arguing with the noise going on from Naruto who was sitting opposite him, next to Draco, and so as Sasuke looked upon the two dark haired girls, he reached out and hit Naruto on the head, pushing the boys face into his food.

"What was that for!" Naruto shouted from within his eggs, however Sasuke was incoherent and started to listen, just to make sure if it was them, to the conversation from the girls.

"Shut up you idiot! I do not…" Katrina shouted, her fluent Japanese drawling over the hall.

"You so do, I see it you fucking nonce!" Sophie shouted back.

"See what exactly?" Katrina placed her hands on her hips and smirked.

"You enlarged your tits!" Sophie screeched, and Kakashi looked up from his book and inspected the small girls' breasts, nodding at the fact they did look bigger since he had last seen her at Durmstang, but quickly buried his head back into his nearly finished book.

"You're a fucking pigeon!" Katrina screamed, her finger pointing directly between Sophie's eyes.

"So what if I am?" Sophie laughed, and Katrina did too, "Your…a…" Sophie mumbled something that didn't make sense in either English nor Japanese.

"What?" Katrina spat confused.

"I tried to say…" Sophie whispered something to Katrina who laughed, and turned to the teachers table, looking upon Kakashi.

"Kakashi!" She shouted in English, "How do you say dildo?" Kakashi raised an eyebrow, before calling back the answer.

"Its…" Katrina whispered the answer to Sophie, who huffed, placed her hands on her hips and cocked her head to the side.

"POPI!" She shouted and Naruto and Kakashi bust into laughter, both their hands on their stomachs and tears nearly welling in their eyes. Katrina stepped from behind the bench and walked round to Sophie who opened her eyes wide in fear, and Katrina pointed, huffed and stormed in the direction of the hysterical Naruto. Sophie followed, making brief eye contact with the astounded and very confused Sasuke and darted her eyes swiftly to Naruto, wishing he would shut up. Apparently Katrina wished the same, and as she walked past Naruto she pushed his head directly into his eggs and sausages and the action was followed by a groan that sounded soaked in HP sauce.

Katrina looked back at her Japanese friends with narrowed eyes, "You coming then?" She asked as if it was something they should have naturally done and Sasuke stood immediately, darting for Sophie over the table and grabbing her hand. However Naruto was a little slow at responding, as he still had to wipe breakfast from his face.

Sasuke turned to Harry and Draco who both had a look of complete confusion on their faces, "You two gonna come, and meet these two?" He asked.

"I need to talk to Harry!" Draco stated quickly, "We will come to your rooms in about… just after lunch?" He asked hopefully, and was answered with a nod from Sasuke who left the room, his girlfriend at his side for the first time in months, Katrina storming her way up the stairs and Naruto following with reluctance.

After the four ex-Durmstang students left, Draco turned to the schoolmate in front of him with a cheeky grin on his face, and Harry shifted uncomfortably and tried to look down at his food, but the eyes upon him burnt little holes in his mind and he eventually looked up, "What?" He questioned nervously.

"Do you really think I am beautiful?" Draco asked without hesitance, and his eyes sparkled with a thousand emotions. Harry looked down, the previous nights' confession ringing through his mind.

"And it was perfect, he was perfect and beautiful and yes I had very raw and deep feelings for him and still do, in a way…"

efb-

"I said so, didn't I?" Harry mumbled whilst looking at his eggs intently. Draco smiled and reached for Harry's chin, pulling his head up to make eye contact.

"So…" Draco trailed off as he looked in the nervous eyes of the boy in front of him.

"I…" Harry looked down, his voice low, almost in a whisper, "I…think I might be gay…"

Draco looked upon Harry with a loving gaze, "You do?" He questioned carefully.

"Yeah… I think I fancy you…" Harry blushed, his cheeks tinted a pretty pink.

"That's nice Harry!" Draco stated in a very condescending tone and Harry looked up to be met with mischievous eyes.

"Nice!" Harry asked back a little offended, and Draco nodded, getting up from the table and walking towards the door of the Great Hall, "Nice!" Harry shouted after him and he too got up and walked out of the door in great pursuit of the blonde and in time he caught up with the tall recluse, just outside of his rooms and managed to slide inside the room before the door shut, much to the annoyance of the painted Weird Sisters.

"Nice!" Harry questioned once again, and Draco turned around with his grin still plastered on his face.

"Amazing… but when did you start to like me then? I thought you weren't gay!" Draco mimicked Katrina's earlier actions and placed his hands on his hips.

"I… Maybe when I started talking to you… nicely!" Harry stated with a nod of his head.

"You sure!" Draco quizzed, his eyebrows raised.

"No…yes… does it matter? Nothing can happen anyway!" Harry huffed and placed his hands in his pockets.

"You say that Harry and yet I don't totally believe you…" Draco shook his head doubtfully, the goofy grin that was on his face now gone, "I don't think you have ever thought about me in that way!"

Harry frowned, "What about when…when we… you know…" Harry's hand shot from his pocket and he ran it through his hair in embarrassment.

"Sexual feelings yes…" Draco picked up his grin again, "Oh, I forgot the part about the raw feelings you had…" Harry blushed and looked down.

"I…" Harry closed his eyes, imagining something that Draco would never imagined to happen, and when the eyes of the Gryffindor opened, he saw the tip of his finger shining with a bright white light. Lifting it to mid air, he began to write, backwards to himself, a declaration of his feelings for the blonde, 'I want this to happen, just to be sure I don't pass up the opportunity of something great Draco…'

Draco blinked as his heart began to race at a million miles per hour, and he moved until the back of his knees met his bed and proceeded to fall backwards, his head lightly hitting the mattress on his way down. Harry rushed over, slightly un-amused and picked up his attitude when he saw the grin even wider on Draco's face, "I'm sorry Harry… I am not gay…" Harry's face fell, and Draco laughed when he opened his eyes at the shock on the boys face. Swiftly he sat up and pulled Harry onto him, his right hand moving from the dark haired boys' hips and into his hair and the other stationed on his hip before slowly moving to the small of Harry's back. He moved Harry's head directly over his own and leaned up to kiss the boy above him, and Harry responded quickly, as tongues met tongues and skin eventually meeting skin.

A reminiscing session had been going on for some while, when Sasuke and Sophie became anxious for alone time, and Katrina without saying a word got up and walked to the door, making her way swiftly towards her own room. Naruto stayed, praying he wouldn't be made to leave, but the obvious discomfort to him being there was apparent on both the people sitting opposite him, and after a while of excruciating silence Sasuke stood up and walked, with Sophie in tow to his rooms.

Sighing and not ready to face the previous nights thoughts of Lee, Naruto wondered what would help pass the time however nothing came to mind and his insides turned to mush as he got ready for the oncoming emotional breakdown. Something inside him stirred as he felt the oncoming pleasure felt by his friend Sasuke and something else told him that Harry and Draco were too about at that stage and even though it wasn't pleasurable for Naruto he knew that his friends were happy and he didn't want to bring their happiness down by his sadness.

Standing up and trying to brush the guilt and depression to one side, he walked to the door to go find something interesting to do, when a knock startled him from his thoughts. He stood in front of the portrait hole, slightly reluctant to open it in case it was a teacher but soon he was relieved when he heard the nagging voice of Katrina demanding for someone to let her in.

He pulled the handle and Katrina stood, looking from side to side with an un-readable expression on her face, but when her eyes locked with Naruto's she grimaced and shot him a distasteful look, "I hate you!" She growled.

"And I hate you…" Naruto furrowed his eyebrows, "What do you want?" He sighed impatiently and Katrina pulled him into the hall, the portrait swinging shut behind him and Naruto eager to get back to his thoughts snapped, "What do you want!"

"I need to talk… to someone and seeing as I don't know anyone here I just guess it has to be you ok!" She pulled him by his wrist in the directions of her room and when inside, sat him down on the small couch and sat in front of him on the stone coffee table.

"I hate you!" Naruto snarled and Katrina looked at Naruto with a rude expression before breaking out in a fake smile.

"The feeling is mutual darling," She chirped, "My pretty little fox…" Naruto snapped and stood over Katrina who merely shrugged off the outburst.

"Why do you want to talk then…?" He sat back down; trying to keep his calm, but his childish attitude took over, "Sexual tension? I'm sorry I don't sleep with girls, I hear Kakashi does though, how about you see him!" Katrina smiled and winked.

"Did last night… you however might need to get a shag, wank or blow before you kill yourself… or do your claws get in the way!" Naruto growled and suppressed the urge to hurt the girl in front of him.

"What is the matter exactly!" Naruto was at breaking point now, however his sub-conscience was grateful for the relief of not having to think of Lee.

"Naruto… I know we don't like each other but at least I can trust you and at least I can bribe the fuck out of you not to tell anyone what I am about to tell you!" She warned and Naruto accepted the fact he was going to have to listen to her however unhappy he was about it.

Katrina broke eye contact and looked towards the window, her facial features falling and the passion in her eyes losing all fires. Naruto sat up straighter and reached for Katrina's hand that was resting on her lap the goodness inside of him taking over. Looking up startled, Katrina looked within Naruto's blue eyes, her green ones now sparkling with tears.

"Kakashi has asked me to marry him… I am six months pregnant and he doesn't want his first child to be out of wedlock and its now to late to abort." Katrina's usual demanding tone was gone and her sexuality lost in the mean time. Her head hung low and the tears were flowing freely without care and Naruto leaned over and pulled the crying girl onto his lap and rocked her gently, all hate for her reversed… for the mean time.

"Stop smoking…" Naruto put his request blandly and Katrina nodded, "And about Kakashi…what will you do."

"Give up school and… have a baby I guess…" Katrina looked up to Naruto and he looked down with saddened eyes.

"I thought it wasn't serious…"

"It isn't!" Katrina near shouted, "He doesn't love me and I don't… I don't love him either and he only wants marriage to make this look like a conscious mistake!" Naruto hushed the girl in his arms.

"There always is adoption?" He offered but Katrina shook her head.

"If I take that option I will forever be wondering, what happened to the child that could have been mine…"

"Well, if you don't love him don't marry him. It isn't fair on either of you or your baby." Katrina nodded at the helpful boy, who she respected because of his kind words and nature.

"And forever lose the respect of Kakashi… it isn't fair I never wanted this and it all came from one drunken mistake that morphed itself into an obsession to make sense of… sexuality and pain. My release turned into my disaster and he doesn't care, he is indifferent to the situation.

And not only all of that, he is thirty years old… making him fourteen years older than me!" Katrina cried deeply, her makeup smudging.

"So? Many wizards marry with years and years between them!" Naruto soothed Katrina from her dismal abyss slightly.

"I guess," She shrugged her shoulders, "Maybe I can learn to love him…"

"Maybe…" Naruto smiled hopefully, "And if you decide on not marrying the git, then you always have Sasuke, Harry, Draco and I to be fathers!"

"Harry? Draco?" She questioned before remembering the earlier discussion about the predicament Sasuke and Naruto were now in with the two ex-rivals, "Oh…"

"See, it isn't so bad is it?" Katrina nodded, finally admitting her pain, even if it was too the only other person that knew of Kakashi and herself and the person she detested most, "We will be here for you… I will be here for you…"

"Thank you Naruto!" She beamed through her teary eyes and leaned up to kiss his cheek, "I don't hate you really you know…"

"No? I don't hate you either, you annoy me as do I to you, but I don't hate you as such… Katrina?" Naruto asked softly.

"Yeah…"

"How come Sophie doesn't know?" He looked at her stomach, that was flat and looked like no baby was growing inside, and she reached for her wand, muttering the anti-charm for glamour and soon the six month bulge became visible. Naruto placed his hand over it, rubbing gently and silence ensued until Naruto felt it right to make his own confession to the girl he would of previously shrugged if found dead.

"I'm still in love with Lee." He stated the words with care, hoping she would remember his frequent outburst over the boy when he first came to Durmstang, and she did and nodded for him to go on, "And the other day, well, for about a week I was obsessing over Harry… the black haired boy that was sitting with us at breakfast, and I confused him for Lee.

I don't know how I can go on without him…"

"You were both so young when you started out with each other Naruto and times change and so will you…" She hoped she would make sense.

"It's even worse now I am being faced with the Soul Seekers… I need him beside me when I come home broken and bruised… I love him Kat, and I can't go on without him.

I will be here for you, even when we are at each others throats and in return from that I want you to be here for when I break down and I want you to be the one that I come home too when broken and bruised for I know he wont be and cant be.

I know we have our differences and you're the only one who knows of my curse and I the only one that knows of yours, and we have so much in common; both of us know nothing of our parents, both lived alone until the age of eleven and we both are attention seekers… the biggest attention seekers!" He laughed with Katrina and hugged her close, "A new bribe is in order… I wont tell anyone of this unless you leave me alone ever, and you'll never tell anyone of the Nine tails unless I leave you alone!"

"Deal!"

XXXXX

The December light poured like liquid ice through Sasuke's windows, bathing the two that were making love through tears of happiness on Sasuke's double four poster bed.

A desperation to be close from months of no contact, and no touching, and the kisses they shared hadn't been enough to fulfil the urge inside both of them. Forgetting rules within Hogwarts that no one paid attention too, they both gave into need and it happened perfectly.

"I love you Sophie…" Sasuke whispered, a feeling that wouldn't be admitted to anyone but her.

"I love you too…"

"When we get out of here… when this school is finished… promise me you will marry me?" A close to orgasm confession that had been on his mind since the day they met.

And Sophie agreed, a happiness surrounding her body and mind and Sasuke didn't take long after that to bring her to orgasm, leaving her panting and precious in his eyes and arms.

XXXXX

"That…was…amazing…" Harry panted after his body had recovered from an orgasm that left him breathless for several minutes.

"I agree… your amazing, it has to be said!" Draco laid next to Harry, leaning into the brunettes form and trailing kisses down the boys neck.

"Just wait till I recover…" Harry wiggled his eyebrows and smiled sexily towards the blonde.

"Harry… I just noticed something!"

"What?" Harry felt naked, which he was indeed, at the blondes intent stare.

"How can you see without your glasses!" Draco remembered how they were sucked to the ceiling, and then broken on the floor early last evening.

"I…don't know I just can! I hadn't noticed, my vision is perfect!" Harry smiled, running his hands over his face with amazement.

"You look perfect!"

"I need food…" Harry changed the conversation unintentionally.

"We said we would meet them for lunch, so lets wait ok!" Harry could tell by the tone in Draco's voice that he definitely was going to be the demanding woman in this situation and relationship.

"Draco?"

"Yeah…"

"Your my boyfriend…"
