A/N: Thank for all the nice reviews. I´m really glad to see so much readers interested in my stories *hugs all the people who reviewed especially the first reviewer Sae Matsumoto.
I cant answer all the questions about the story now because it´ll take away the suspense and I hope you understand. Be patient and give me time to develop the plot and place some surprises.

2 Newspapers never write the truth
Luckily the two boys would have a month to get used to their new situation until they had to start their new jobs at the Ministry of Magic. Both of them would work as aurors and though would Blaise do. At first there would be a very hard training until they had to do their first missions, hopefully as partners. The following morning Draco woke up at first like usual and he yawned tiredly stretching his arms slowly. Harry laid beside him completely hidden under the huge cover and the blonde was wondering if he was able to breath properly. Draco then decided to get up and magically prepare some breakfast to surprise his partner when he would wake up.
The silver-haired young man headed for a shower first enjoying the silence and peace, no more other students around to disturb his morning ritual making him grouchy. After the refreshing lukewarm shower he felt ready to face their first day at their own house and he dressed quickly. Wearing his favourite black leather pants and a simple tight grey shirt the young wizard went down into the kitchen, his wand already in his right hand he then started to prepare breakfast for two persons. Knowing very well what both of them enjoyed for meal in the morning it wasn´t difficult to finish his task. Since both wizards loved to sleep long it was now nearly 1 pm.
Suddenly his black eagle owl flew over his head and dropped a newspaper which landed on the floor because Draco dived away elegantly while the blonde was cursing under his breath impatiently, "Stupid bird. Why is he always teasing me like that. He knows very well that I can´t stand it if he drops the newspaper on my head. Fly off, Niger!"
The large owl landed gracefully on the table and stole a piece of bacon hooting mockingly as the young man pointed his wand at the bird muttering "Aquaflow" which caused a little waterfall pouring down on the owls head and then it spread its wings and flew out of the room looking a bit offended.
Draco picked up the newspaper and sighed looking down annoyed with his ice-blue eyes on the newest edition of the daily prophet. As expected there was a photograph of him kissing Harry on the front-page and the headline read: Draco Malfoy, heir of Lucius Malfoy a known Death Eater, confesses his love for Harry Potter the Boy-Who-Lived. The following text was a nearly breathtaking and gag reflex offsetting mixture between romantic tale and lies over lies. It read:
Yesterday during the graduation ceremony of Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry Draco Malfoy held the speech as best student of the year. Everyone knows that Lucius Malfoy, the father of the silver-blonde handsome boy, is a known Death Eater. The pale looking student of Slytherin mentioned during his sad farewell speech that Justin Finch-Fletchey, one of his fellow students from Hufflepuff, tried to commit suicide and the blonde had to fight against his tears but he managed to continue his speech proudly. He then accused his fellow students especially Gryffindor as Seamus Finnegan, a good-looking Irish student told me later, of being responsible for the depressed Hufflepuffs failed suicide. Supposed there should have been insults and intolerance which Mr Finnegan called a lie and he admitted that he was afraid of Mr Malfoy and some other rude students who were a little paranoid and over-reacted more then once hurting other students dangerously for example with strong blasting spells or unknown other spells (maybe advanced Dark Arts). Draconis Malfoy and Harry James Potter were a couple since the beginning of their seventh school year. Their love was so strong that they couldn´t stand being in different houses and that was the moment when the paranoid lies began. Mr Potter told the teachers a heart melting story of being raped by some fellow students which was obviously a lie because Neville Longbottom said looking sadly: "Harry was our friend and we would never do something to hurt him. There must have been a Death Eaters attack that night and what happened had hurt his mind badly. We have the suspicion that Lucius Malfoy somehow knew that his son loved Harry and that he tried to punish Harry for the disgrace of the Malfoy family. The attackers wore Death Eaters masks and robes, they didn´t speak to him and they must have placed some strong spells on his brain. We do really pity what happened to our housemate and hope that he´ll come to his senses one day."
Draco swallowed trying to get rid of the huge knot in his throat and fuming furiously he continued reading, glaring darkly on the newspaper in his hands. The story now sounded more like a piece of very bad romance tale:
Harry Potter, the Boy-Who-Lived and Draco Malfoy, heir of the Malfoy fortune are two of the most wanted bachelors in wizardry world. Now the entire female admirer have to deal with a fact that makes the whole world turning upside down. The two boys are engaged and their marriage will take place at the end of this year. They make a very cute couple together and they really proof the statement that opposites attract each other. One with ebony hair and supporter of the side of the light and the other with ivory hair and supporter of the Dark Arts and his father belongs to You-Know-Who´s inner circle. Their story reminds of Romeo and Juliet, a romantic drama of Shakespeare, known in wizardry world as well as in the world of the muggles. Forbidden love and two lonely sad teenage boys who found one another meeting secretly. It was so touching to see Mr Potter nearly cry as he heard the love-confession and the marriage application at the end of Mr Malfoy´s speech and then the two young lovers kissed each other like there would be no tomorrow. We all congratulate the lucky couple and we all give them our best wishes for their wedding. May their dreams come true. We really hope that they are able to cope with everything and that they needn´t react as paranoid as in their former school days anymore.
Draco threw the newspaper on the table angrily and in a sudden fit of anger he jumped up and hit his fist against the wall again and again until his knuckles started to bleed leaving dark red blood on the wall. At that moment Harry came in, still wet hair after showering and smiling slightly but his smile froze as he saw his boyfriend hitting the wall feverishly leaving bloody spots on the white ground. The black-haired young man walked over to his lover and wrapped his arms around the other wizard pulling him away from the wall to prevent further injuries. Draco allowed himself being dragged away and slung his arms around the smaller young man panting heavily. Harry caressed his lover´s back and softly asked, "Draco, what happened to make you freak out like this?"
Draco whispered harshly still infuriated, "I read the newspaper."
Harry wanted to know, "Rita Skeeter wrote something about us, am I right?"
Draco sighed and answered tiredly, "Yes, exactly. I´m sorry, my kitten. I couldn´t help but being overwhelmed by the famous Malfoy Rage."
Harry kissed his boyfriend´s forehead gently and reassured him, "Shh ... it´s ok."
After awhile Draco calmed down and he offered his lover a seat at the breakfast table and Harry sat down immediately and then he picked up the paper from the floor and began reading. He paled, if possible, even more than usual and he then closed his eyes muttering toneless, "Stupid cow! The silly woman is always good for badmouthing people. I don´t think that this is a surprise because I expected something like that. We shouldn´t let stuff like this having any influence on us."
Draco watched the other wizard closely and saw the despair in his eyes briefly but quickly his boyfriend recovered and smiled at him reassuringly while he rubbed his temples adding quietly, "I´ve got a bad headache. Can you give me a potion to fix that problem?"
The blonde stood up and fetched one of his Anti-Headache-Draughts handing it to the other wizard with a encouraging smile. Harry drank the potion with one single sip and he then coughed making a disgusted face. After that he took out his wand and spoke his useful Celtic Healing Charm on the other´s bruised and swollen knuckles to heal the injuries.
The young wizards ate their breakfast or more lunch silently after Draco used a simple spell to warm the food again which was rather cold after the early morning events. Draco broke the silence as he finished his cereals and suggested, "Maybe we should take it slow today and call it a lazy day. I doubt that it´ll last long til we hear something from our neighbours ... I mean Blaise and Terry."
Harry arched one elegant eyebrow and joked, "Don´t you think they´ve some other business than visiting us?"
The raven-haired wizard wiggled his eyebrow suggestively and Draco smirked whispering, "Oh, good idea, my kitten. I´ve some neat ideas on my mind too."
Draco took his boyfriend´s hand and led him to the living room and the cosy sofa in front of the fireplace. Harry waved his wand and spoke, "Inflammare."
The fire began to burn brightly making crackling sounds and illuminating the scene with red glowing shine.
The two wizards laid down on the sofa together and Harry wrapped his arms around the other´s torso kissing him gently. Draco nibbled on his partner´s lower lip gently and he then slid his tongue into his lover´s mouth parting his lips tenderly. Tongues were dancing passionately in an endless tango, caressing each others tongue lustfully. Harry moaned into the kiss and Draco felt his arousal growing while he noticed the erection in his boyfriend´s pants. The blonde sat on his lover´s hips and took off his shirt while their throbbing members touched through their pants. Harry began to slowly unbutton his silk shirt and Draco helped him to get rid of the unnecessary clothing. Draco then leant forward and bit gently his boyfriend´s earlobe sucking tenderly afterwards and knowing very well he touched his partner´s soft spot. The other wizard groaned and pulled his lover closer so that Draco laid on top of him.
Harry fumbled at his boyfriend´s leather pants to open them and he then slid one slender hand into the pants and boxers touching his penis stroking gently. Draco let out his breath in one single hiss and felt himself grow rock hard immediately during his partner´s ministrations. The blonde wizard was about to open the zipper of his lover´s pants as suddenly a flash of green light illuminated the room and a head appeared in the fireplace. Draco and Harry looked up startled and recognizing whose head sneered at them they both groaned deeply. Blaise Zabini´s head looked at them grinning amused and he simply stated, "Thought you would already miss somebody rushing into your room and decided to use the floo network to see if you´re at home."
Harry couldn´t stifle a giggle and his lover soon sniggered too burying his blushing face on his partner´s naked torso.
Blaise laughed heartily and asked, "Do I have a good timing then?"
Draco lifted his head and rubbed over his watering eyes before he answered still snorting, "I doubt that it could be more perfect. Even in Hogwarts you never came in when we were just about to..."
Now it was Harry´s turn to blush slightly because his hand still was inside the other young man´s pants and he withdrew it quickly. Blaise saw the sudden movement and coughed hiding his embarrassment. The head in the fireplace now glowed slightly darker and Draco wondered if the other Slytherin was blushing furiously and thought to himself that it served him right if he did.
Blaise recovered from his coughing fit and suggested, "Maybe we could drop in later and talk a bit."
Harry answered smirking, "Fine but maybe we should say a time first and you shouldn´t try to surprise us again. You nearly gave me a heart attack, Blaise."
Blaise nodded and said still grinning, "I´m sorry but I couldn´t help my old habits. What about 3 p.m., guys?"
Draco agreed quickly, "OK, that´s all right. See you at 3 pm. Does Terry come with you?"
Blaise told them, "Yes, we´re both coming. See you, then."
With a plop the head disappeared again and the both wizards snuggled up against each other.
A short glance to the grandfather clock beyond the fireplace showed that it was already 2.30 pm which didn´t leave much time until their visitors would arrive. Cursing inwardly Draco rested his head on his boyfriend´s shoulder stroking the other´s naked torso thoughtfully. Harry watched the fire suspiciously and stated with a sigh, "Next time we should choose another snogging place to prevent surprises like that until we find a spell to warn us before somebody sticks his head into our fire. We should have known..."
Draco sucked at his lover´s neck leaving a red spot on the pale skin and Harry protested smirking, "Hey, what are you doing? Marking your property?"
The blonde smiled innocently and claimed, "I just like your taste so much, can´t help..."
Harry now looked at the clock briefly and wanted to know sneering, "Did we just tell Blaise and Terry that they can come over at 3 pm?"
Draco nodded and stated, "I doubt that we have enough time to finish what we just started, my kitten."
The raven-haired wizard said softly, "Then I´ll need a cold shower now, Draconis."
Harry glanced into his boyfriend´s ice-blue eyes who pouted, "And I always thought living in our own house would give us enough time for our snogging sessions."
The two young wizards kissed each other again lustfully and their tongues were battling softly until the urge to breath made them finish the French kiss panting heavily. Draco and Harry finally let go off each other still longing expressions in their eyes but they got dressed and prepared some tea and cookies for their friends.
Just in time everything was ready and the door bell rang loudly startling Harry who stood directly beside the door. The raven-haired wizard accidentally knocked his head and opened the door grinning goofily and rubbing his forehead. Blaise greeted in his usual cheerful manner, "Hey, Harry. I´m so curious to see your house, guys. Oh, next time I try to not disturb your snogging sessions."
Harry stifled a snicker and greeted back, "Hi, Blaise and Terry. Come in, please. We´ve made some tea and cookies if you want."
The couple entered the house and Harry led them to the living room offering a place on a comfortable black leather couch. The four young men had a interesting conversation about the newest newspaper articles in the daily prophet and witch weekly. Hermione sent the article from witch weekly to Blaise with a post owl because he was different than the other article and included an exclusive interview with Ron Weasley as Harry Potter´s best friend which read:
"Ron Weasley one of Harry Potter´s best friends gave a statement about the shock of the week. The two most wanted bachelors of wizardry world are gay. What a shame to all the female admirer and who would have thought that these two handsome boys turn their back to the entire woman world. Ron Weasley admitted that the relationship began at the beginning of the seventh year and that the two boys showed their feelings openly in spite of the younger students who often blushed ashamed when they started snogging in public. Their behaviour can be described as unmorally and shameless. There was a group of gay wizards and witches who always searched fights with the other heterosexual students beginning with open insults and ending with duels or fist fights. They really felt superior and that was the real reason for Justin Finch-Fletchey to commit suicide because he wanted to belong to that group and they didn´t accept him as muggle born. Blaise Zabini was his secret boyfriend and then left him for a pureblood which broke his heart. Harry Potter is sort of paranoid and since he had been attacked by some Death Eaters he thought that some Gryffindor students raped him. The story was really tragic but he wasn´t the same afterwards and Draco Malfoy turned out to be very possessive and protective which only made the whole incident worse and no one was able to get to Harry for support. Their relationship reminds a lot of Romeo and Juliet referring to their backgrounds."
Harry and Draco were infuriated and felt helpless at the same time because the two articles were complete false showing a rather strange picture of their relationship. Draco felt the familiar emptiness invade his mind again and he had to fight away the urge to take something pointed and sharp to cut it down on his arm before his famous rage washed over him and he hit his fist on the table twice. The others looked at him startled and his lover took his clenched fist into his hand stroking it softly. Draco calmed down immediately and his features softened as he glanced into his boyfriends concerned emerald eyes.
Harry came finally to the conclusion, "I have to report the rape soon or the newspapers will make me untrustworthy and I can forget the trial or any justice."
Draco wrapped his arms around his boyfriend and assured him, "I´ll help you. Better now before we marry and work starts. I hope instantly that the Ministry don´t believes all the lies."
Blaise tried to soothe his friends sadly, "Hey, we´ll stand it together. You´re welcome."
Terry took his boyfriend´s hand squeezing it gently and added, "Yes, we all should help each other to cope. The newspapers better should stop writing all the lies or I´ll loose my temper!"
The others looked at the usually friendly and calm young man surprised and he was fuming his eyes glittering dangerously. Draco stated, "Let´s try to keep calm. Any false move now and the newspapers have something else to write. We should plan the next steps carefully."
Harry sighed deeply and said, "You´re right, Draco. We need patience now and good plans."
The four wizards changed the topic after that and sat together until they were rather tired. They decided to meet frequently at the same time to avoid accidents like today. There were a lot of problems they would have to deal with and Draco doubt that this would be an unconcerned time like holidays should be normally. Otherwise what was normal in his entire life before.
