Argh!! Please don't kill me! I am a very bad person! I haven't written in ages! But we just moved house and the computer wasn't set up and now we still don't have the internet so eventually this will get to you through Sarah, but at the moment I'm not at all sure how! I have pages and pages of stuff written out in my book, and now I need to concentrate hard enough to type it all out! I love where this story is going! And please don't hate me for being mean to Draco, he will get his man in the end! (Sarah – Apologies to those who love surprises.)

Chapter 15- (I have no idea where I'm up to)

Draco didn't come out of his room at all that day. Harry and Alex were 'Catching-up' in the lounge room, so after he finished tidying Harry's room he walked through the bathroom and into his own room to think.

"So where did you get sorted?" asked Harry after Alex finished his explanation of how he'd come to Hogwarts.

"Well that hat took forever to decide and finally it put me in Ravenclaw" answered Alex. "I chucked my stuff into the dorm but I'd rather stay here with you! Can't you get 'Blondie' moved out and me moved in?" He asked, cuddling up closer to Harry on the couch.

Harry shifted away slightly and tried to ignore the uncomfortable feeling he had. He laughed, "I wish I could! But Draco and I are being punished so we'll just have to cope!" he tried to look apologetic but he was anxious to get Alex out of there so he could talk to Draco.

"What a pity...well when your punishments over we'll try and bribe that old fool of a headmaster into letting us stay together." Said Alex.

"Yeah, lets go to the hall now okay? Lunch is about to start. I'll just throw some better clothes on and get Draco and we'll head off." Suggested Harry, desperate to pawn Alex off on someone else so he could think.

"Sure thing Harry, you go get changed and I'll deal with Draco." Said Alex, hoping he didn't sound too suspicious.

Draco sat on his bed and went through the last few weeks in his head. He looked around his room and tried to find an answer to all his problems... lying on his floor was a photo of Alex and Harry that had gotten stuck to his foot when he was cleaning Harry's room.

He picked it up and studied it, Harry was grinning in his usual bright way and Alex had his arms possessively around him.

"I don't trust you Alex, but you seem to make my Harry happy." he said to the picture, he brushed his hair back off his face as he'd been wearing it loose lately since Harry had commented that it looked better that way.

"You'd better keep my Harry this happy or there'll be hell to pay!" he said to the photo.

"I will keep my Harry happy and you better stay away from my Harry of there'll be hell to pay!" came a voice from the doorway.

Draco dropped the picture and looked up to see Alex standing at the door. He stood up and faced the [other] blonde boy.

"Are you threatening me?" Draco asked Alex, shuddering inside as he heard a voice not unlike his father's escape his mouth. "No-one insults a Malfoy!" he sneered before he could stop himself.

"Ah...a Malfoy!" said Alex, "I knew you looked familiar. Well with your father being who he is I will have to keep an even closer eye on you, Malfoy." he sneered back.

Draco clenched his first "I am Nothing like my father!" he said, giving him his most threatening look.

"All Malfoys are the same; Each as conniving as the next. So I'll say this one more time; Stay away from my Harry." said Alex, "Do we have an understanding?"

Draco felt slightly insecure about this boy but years of living with his father had trained him not to show any weakness.

"Harry and I live together. We share a bathroom and are required to spend 5 waking hours in here alone everyday. You may not like it, but it is in no way possible or favourable for me to 'Stay away from your Harry.'" answered Draco calmly and clearly. "So FUCK OFF!" he said as he stepped back and slammed his door in Alex's face.

Harry heard voices in Draco's room and assumed Alex was getting him for lunch. He knew Draco would have heard him tell Alex that he loved him and he knew Draco would be upset but he couldn't hurt Alex after all they'd been through.

He changed his clothes and washed his face. He thought he heard Draco's door slam shut but he ignored it; the doors banged shut in the castle all the time.

He walked out into the lounge and Alex was standing near the door but Draco was no where in sight.

"Is Draco coming?" he asked as Alex opened the door.

"He said he didn't feel like lunch right now." Replied Alex as they walked out.
