Chapter 7

The days had been interesting since they had been stuck together and they only proceeded to get more interesting since there kiss. They were coming up on Halloween, meaning they had been stuck together for a little over a month, neither one of them were dead yet so they thought of it as quite an accomplishment.

Since the night of their kiss things hadn't changed, except in-between their fighting there was a little kissing. They didn't talk about because words would make it serious, and that was the last thing either of them wanted something else serious that would make their lives more difficult.

But it was obvious to anyone that had eyes that something had changed between the two. I wasn't quite friendship but there was a familiarity between the two, a level of comfort that was plain to see.

They were currently sitting at the Gryffindor table eating lunch; Draco as usual kept to himself and let Harry socialize with his friends. Most of Gryffindor's just ignored Draco except Ron; he couldn't help but throw the Slytherin dirty looks.

"Harry we haven't seen you in the longest time, when are you going to come and visit us in the tower?" Hermione asked across the table, the other Gryffindor's just looked at Harry waiting for his answer.

Before answering Harry flicked his gaze over to the blonde, whose only indication of hearing the question was the clenching of his jaw but no emotions crossed his face. He looked back at his friends, who were all looking expectantly at him.

"Well…um…I should be able to visit soon but I'm not sure when I'll be able to just yet."

"Oh, come on Harry, it's been ages since we've been able to see you!" Ron complained "Fred and Gorge sent me some of their new products and I want to show them to you, there still in testing"

"Ron you are a prefect you should not be playing around with those contraptions, you need to be setting an example for the younger years not encouraging-"

Before Hermione could finish reprimanding Ron, an owl flew past the table gracefully dropping a letter in-front of Draco and flying off not bothering to wait for an answer.

Everyone just stared at Draco, but he was just staring at the cream colored envelope with his name written on front in an elegant script.

Draco was lost in thought, his father had sent him a letter, this couldn't be good because his father never wrote to him unless he needed something from Draco, had a task for him to complete, or was unhappy with something that Draco did and he was being scolded for his failure.

"Draco who is the letter from?" Harry asked so only Draco was able to hear him.

"My father." It was all the Draco said, but it had caught the attention of the surrounding Gryffindor's. There was silence as Draco lifted the letter from the desk with shaky hands turning it to break the traditional Malfoy seal and pulled the letter free from the envelope.

Son,

You have been away from home almost two months and I have yet to hear from you. I am beginning to wonder about you for this behavior is very odd, you know you have responsibilities and I can help but think that you are neglecting them. Though I do not worry too much for you are not my only eyes at Hogwarts.

I have more than one reason for writing to you; I have heard some very disturbing news concerning you and Harry Potter. I do wonder why it was another that had to inform me of this dilemma you find yourself in. I am certain that you have a valid reason for this; you will have an opportunity to explain yourself to me soon. I will be visiting the school to see you and voice my concern to the headmaster as to why I was not informed on this matter. The plans for my visit have been scheduled already we will meet in a weeks time.

I expect to not be disappointed.

L.C. Malfoy

Letting out a uneasy breath Draco folded the letter and put it into his pocket, his heart going wild in his chest he just tried to focus on breathing. A hand on his shoulder made him snap his eyes open; he didn't even realize that his eyes were closed. He looked around at all the eyes that were looking at him, and then realized that there was still a warm hand on his shoulder. He looked over to look into concerned green eyes.

"Everything okay?" Harry practically whispered, knowing that the Slytherin wouldn't want anyone to think there was something amiss.

Draco just pushed his plate away from himself and made sure his emotions were in check. Slightly shrugging his shoulder so the brunette would remove his hand, took another breath to calm himself.

"I'm not hungry and I would like to return to the room." His face hid all of his emotions but to Harry his words gave him away, he was distressed.

"Alright, I'm pretty much done here anyway." Harry turned to his friends, disappointment clear on their faces "Guys ill see you later we have transfigurations today, we'll make some plans to spend some time." He gave them a bright promising smile.

Both boys stood and left the hall, Harry's friends watched them go.

"I can't believe that I have to make official plans to see my own best friend." Ron huffed, stabbing at his food with his fork.

"Ron, he can't just make spontaneous decisions anymore he has to take Malfoy into consideration, anywhere he goes Malfoy has to go with him and Harry with Malfoy."

"I thought they were able to be apart now" Ron was in full sulk now, almost whining.

"They are capable of being away from each other but the farther away they are the less time they have. Surely you want to be able to spend more than ten minutes with Harry at a time?" She let the question trail off.

"Well, yeah, you can't have a proper game of chess in ten minutes."

"Then you will have to put up with the fact that Harry has to take Malfoy into account when he decides to do something."

"Fine, fine, I guess your right, as usual." The complaint was overridden by Ron's smile.

Hermione ducked her head with a shy smile and a blush.

"Is everything okay? Who was the letter from? What did it say-"

"Harry! I can't answer any of your questions if you don't take a breath and shut up for a second."

Harry snapped his mouth shut and a blush rose to his cheeks.

"Sorry, you just seem upset and I wanted to make sure you're okay."

"Aren't you just the Gryffindor?" Draco said teased, but quickly became serious.

"We have a problem." He said bluntly

"What is it?"

"My father, he knows and is not happy."

"You're right that isn't good news."

"It gets worse; he is coming to visit and wants to meet with me. He is also going to complain about not being told by the school about what has happened." The blonde looked over to see Harry's reaction.

"Wow this is really bad, how did your father find out anyway?"

"It must have been someone in Slytherin I don't think it would have been anyone else, but I can't be positive not everyone who wishes to follow the Dark Lord is in Slytherin."

"Right so I could have been anyone in the school is what you're really saying."

"Essentially yes, but for the most part I would think Slytherin."

"We should see the Headmaster about this-"

"He already knows, my father already set the date he will be here in a week."

"So there is nothing we can really do but wait for your father arrive and see what happens."

They finally were at their portrait "Come on open up" was all Draco said for the portrait to swing open to admit the two boys.

Draco breezed by the other boy into their shared bedroom and with as much grace possible flung himself onto the bed and threw his arm over his face. At a slower pace Harry followed him into the room sitting on the edge of the bed just looking at the stressed boy.

"What do you think is going to happen?" Harry asked quietly, he heard the boy take a deep breath and slowly exhale.

"I am not exactly sure of what will happen but I can give you an overview. My father will come to the school and he will meet with us and with Dumbledore, complain that he was uninformed of the situation and how dare any one keep the wellbeing of his son from him. He will then speak with me and tell me what a failure I am, nothing new there probably demand to take me home-"

"He can't do that, I'm attached to you!" Harry exclaimed worry etched on his face.

Draco slowly took his arm off of his face and looked at Harry with an amused smirk; laughter in his eyes.

"Don't worry; I doubt any one would let you go even if my father wanted you there in the first place."

"Could you imagine what it would be like if I went to Malfoy Manor." Harry let out a snort at the idea.

"Yeah, I can imagine." Draco said in a slightly distant voice. Harry looked down at the other boy and noticed as he drifted off. Harry leaned down on one elbow and propped up his head, he was looking down at Draco.

Though the Slytherin had no clue he was being studied so closely, he was off thinking about how the Manor used to be when he was younger. He loved living at the Manor it was grand and amazing, but it was his home, he missed his home.

"What are you thinking about?" The Brunette asked in a soft tone.

"My Home, what was my home, but I don't have a home anymore." Harry could tell that Draco was upset even if his eyes remained dry.

Harry, using his free hand, reached over and brushed a lock of hair behind the pale boy's ear and gently cupped his cheek.

"Well I guess that's another thing we have in common"

Draco stared into the green eyes that were intently upon him, he felt the strong hand on his face, and his own eyes slide closed as he felt a pair of soft but insistent lips on his own.

Draco hummed into the kiss and moved his lips against Harry's, bringing a hand up to cup the back of the Gryffindor's head, pulling him closer. Both were getting lost in the kiss, breathing speeding up and the need to be close increasing, Harry moved to lay on top of the other boy when he felt a hand on his chest pushing him down on the bed.

Harry pulled back from the kiss slightly confused. "Hmmm, what?" Harry murmured.

Draco just shushed Harry and started kissing him again before he could say anything else, laying himself on top of the Gryffindor. Harry forgot his moment of confusion and started to kiss back, bringing his arms to embrace the warm body lying on top of him.

Draco started to slowly rock his body into the one beneath him. Harry ran his hands own the lithe body hands slowly reaching to where the swell of a taught arse began; a loud banging broke the moment. Draco hurled himself off of the other boy; he was standing next to the bed clothes askew and panting for air.

Harry wasn't doing any better himself he was flushed and aroused also trying to catch his breath. He looked at the other boy and the sight alone almost made him moan.

Bang, Bang, Bang

There was that damn noise again, it was coming from the main room.

"Open up I know you are in there, Potter I promise you House points will be deducted if this door isn't opened!" It was the Potions Master snide voice coming from the other side of the portrait.

"Damn Snape." Harry pulled himself up and off the bed; now standing in-front of the other boy. He leaned in to give Draco a quick kiss on the lips.

"I guess we better get that, Snape doesn't sound too happy."

Harry fixed his robes and adjusted himself in his trousers to make sure there was no obvious visual evidence of his arousal.

Draco just smirked as he saw Harry fix himself, the Gryffindor just rolled his eyes and turned and left the room heading towards the main door of there room.

Snape was still banging outside getting more and more aggravated by the minute, he could feel his blood pressure rising. Potter and Malfoy are going to be the death of me Snape thought to himself. Finally the portrait swung open to reveal a slightly disheveled Harry Potter, a flush was fading from his face and his robes weren't quite as neat as when the boy had left the Great Hall.

"What took you so long to open this portrait?" Snape was treated to the sight of the boy's fading flush to come back full force.

"Uhh…well you see…" Potter was looking any where but at the professor standing before him.

"Never mind Potter I don't want to hear your pathetic excuses. The Headmaster sent me to tell you he wishes to meet with you and Mister Malfoy in his office so you should go down be there in less than ten minutes."

Harry was trying his hardest not to out right glare at his professor but it got more difficult by the moment.

"Yes professor; we'll be there in a few moments, sir." Harry calmly replied.

Snape just sent Harry a final glare pivoted on his heel and swooped down the corridor.

Harry just sighed and closed the door, shaking his head he walked back to the room. Draco was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"We have to-"

"Go and see Dumbledore, yeah I heard, you know it's about my father."

"Yeah, I figured. Snape only gave us ten minutes so we better get moving."

About nine minutes later the door to the Headmasters office opened to admit the two boys.

In the office sat both their Heads of House and Headmaster Dumbledore sat behind his desk.

"Ahh, Mister Malfoy and Mister Potter, I am glad to see you why don't you take a seat."

Taking seats next to their respective Head of House they turned to face the Headmaster. Surprisingly Draco was the first was to start conversation.

"Headmaster is this about my father?"

"Yes, Mister Malfoy it is, I must ask you if it was you who informed him of this situation."

"No it was not, I preferred for my father to be as far away from this as possible but as it seems some one did not have the common sense to stay out of business that is not their own."

"Yes it does seem that way, sadly." The Headmaster paused for a moment then sighed "As you know I am not capable from keeping your father off school grounds as he has every right to visit his son, unless there would be a reason for you not to want to see him." Again the Headmaster stopped but this time he looked intently at Draco. The Slytherin, although he did not fidget in his chair was squirming on the inside, did Snape tell him? That was the only thought that ran threw his head.

"No Headmaster, there is no reason." Draco said void of all emotion.

Beside him the Potions Master let out an unidentifiable sigh and closed his eyes for a brief moment. He knew to ask Draco to share what was wrong with professor McGonagall in the room would never happen, but he could tell by the boy's voice and demeanor that something was wrong beyond what he was already dealing with; what, he didn't know.

"Well your father is coming next week, but you will not be meeting with him alone. Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape will be there as well as Mister Potter. I of course will make my appearances; does this suit your needs?"

"Yes Headmaster that is fine."

"Alright now that we have cleared that, there is one more thing to discuss. How are you two handling your situation, has there been any improvements in being able to separte?"

Harry and Draco just looked at each other and shrugged there shoulders.

"Uh…we're not really sure Headmaster we've um not really…uh needed…to be apart from each other. " Harry blushed a little as he said this knowing there was a subtle undertone to that statement, even if he was the only one to hear it, which he wasn't going by the pink that was on Draco's cheeks.

"Well than I want you to stop by to see Madame Pomfrey and we will determine your progress, alright?"

"Yes, Headmaster." They said in unison.

"Well that concludes this meeting, boys if you will head down to the hospital wing, you'll be excused from the rest of your classes. Professor Snape your advanced classes are done for the day, correct?"

"Yes there all done, I only have one first year class this afternoon."

"Well Professor I would like you to escort these young men to the hospital wing and help Madame Pomfrey examine their current status, do not worry about your class it will be adequately covered."

"Alright Headmaster, they are taking a quiz today so they should not present a problem."

"That is wonderful. Well off to the hospital wing with you, I will see you all later."

The three headed down to the hospital wing, Draco was oddly silent.

"What is plaguing your young mind Mister Malfoy?" Snape asked needed to end the awkward silence that had descended onto them.

"Nothing Professor." Draco answered coolly.

"Mister Malfoy I know you better than you think, tell me what is bothering you."

There was a moment of hesitation before Draco whirled on his professor.

"Did you tell Dumbledore about me?" He asked in a strained whisper.

"I did no such thing, you told me in confidence and I would not break that, I am a man of my honor."

Draco looked up searching his professor's eyes and then nodded his head.

"I apologize for insinuating anything about your honor Professor, I just got the feeling that he knew."

"The headmaster has the ability to make anyone feel that way, trust me." Professor Snape answered with a smirk.

"Look we're here." Harry pointed out and all three entered the infirmary.
