Chapter 12 – A Star's Last Name

Draco yawned loudly and slowly opened his eyes: another wonderful night beside his beloved Harry. There would only be one more night like this though, because tomorrow they would be returning to Hogwarts, and neither were sure about what would happen. They'd both thought about not going back, they'd even talked about it countless times, but in the end they both agreed that going back was just something they had to do.

The past month of confinement hadn't been all that bad either. Harry had made everyday perfect and even he seemed happier now that he wasn't alone all day.

Draco rolled over to wrap his arms around the raven-haired youth, but stopped halfway. Harry was gone. Draco quickly sat up.

"Harry!" Draco called out, but there was no reply.

He got out of bed and went into the bathroom, but Harry wasn't there either. Draco turned around and stood in the bathroom doorway as he slowly scanned the room. Nothing, though, seemed out of place.

"HARRY!" Sinilu stirred and starred down at Draco from her rafter. "Sinilu, please tell me you know where Harry is!" Draco pleaded. Sinilu looked slightly shocked herself about Harry's disappearance as she shook her head and chirped that she had no idea. Draco began panicking. Where could Harry possibly be?

"Sinilu, please find him…and fast." Draco's voice hid none of his fears or worries. Sinilu nodded reassuringly before swiftly flying out the window. The moment she was gone, Draco began to nervously pace the room. Where could Harry possibly be?

A thought drifted its way to the front of Draco's mind. What if someone had taken him? What if death eaters had taken him during the night? They could be torturing him right now. What if…but no…wait…surely Harry would have struggled, would have fought against his abductors and Draco was a light sleeper. He would have woken up easily. Besides, Lucius had mentioned needing both of them, why then would he have only taken Harry and not himself.

Draco stopped and scanned the room again. There was no sign of forced entry, no signs of struggle; in fact, if Draco wasn't mistaken it almost looked as though Harry had left of his own free will. But he wouldn't…would he?

Draco raced over to the dresser and opened the drawer. He gasped; the room key was gone. Draco slammed shut the drawer and threw himself on the bed. He couldn't help but bury his face in Harry's pillow and cry. He had always been afraid this would happen, that Harry would finally come to his senses and leave him. What Harry ever saw in him he never understood.

Draco's sobs grew louder and louder as he thought back to all the time they'd spent together over the summer, all the magical moments when Harry had made Draco feel like he was really worth something, like he really mattered. He thought about all the times Harry had told him how much he loved him and that he'd never leave him, and what had he done, left, without so much as a goodbye.

Draco didn't know what to do with himself. He knew he couldn't live without Harry, he knew he couldn't face the world without Harry by his side. He just couldn't live alone and he knew he could never love anyone other than Harry. He'd never before, and couldn't now.

Draco was crying so loud that he never heard the lock click, or the door open and then close again. Draco never heard the footsteps approach the bed, but he did hear his name softly whispered as though it were a heavenly word being whispered to the winds.

Draco stopped crying immediately and turned his head. There standing beside the bed in all his innocent glory was Harry. Draco was on his feet in less than a second, starring hard into Harry's eyes, as though searching for an explanation.

"Draco…" but before Harry could finish Draco had slapped him hard across the face. Harry took a step back and cradled his cheek in his hand starring confusedly at his blond lover, tears flowing in rapid streams down Draco's cheeks. In the next moment Draco had lunged at Harry wrapping his arms around Harry's neck and sobbing uncontrollably on his shoulder. Harry wrapped his arms tightly around Draco's waist.

"Har-r-ry, I'm s-s-so s-s-sorry. I was j-j-just s-s-so afraid that you-u-u w-w-weren't coming back." Draco mumbled loudly into Harry's dampening shirt. Harry began rubbing Draco's back very gently.

"Shhh, please don't cry Draco. You should know by now that I'm never going to leave you, ever, I swear."

"But you-u-u d-d-didn't even t-t-tell me you were l-l-leaving." Draco sobbed calming slightly.

"I'm so sorry, I know it was wrong, but I was hoping to be back before you woke up, I just didn't want you to worry. From now on, if I ever do something like this again, I promise I'll tell you, I promise." Harry said gently. He slowly pulled Draco away from his shoulder and held him at arms length, before gently brushing away Draco's tears.

"I just c-c-can't loose you Harry. You're all I h-h-have left. I've already lost everything else…f-f-for Merlin's sake, I don't even have a last name anymore."

"Well then", Harry began, "why not take mine." Draco froze and looked at Harry with pure confusion.

"Wha…"but Draco stopped as Harry got down on one knee and took Draco's hands into his. He had the most nervous look on his face and his voice confirmed that.

"I remember the first time I met you, when we were shopping for our school robes. At first, I couldn't believe someone like you was actually talking to me…me, Mr. Four-eyed, scar head. You seemed so perfect, but I never got to know you, because your not the best at first impressions, and I wasn't willing to give you a chance, and then our houses ensured our separation. When I think back on it though: you were never my enemy, you were my rival. All I could ever think about was being better than you, showing you up…impressing you. I know we've had some hard times, but these last two months have changed all that. I want to forget the past, live in the present, and plan for the future. But to do that, I need you. I love you Draco, more than I've ever loved anyone in all my life and without you nothing is right. Please…will you make everything perfect for me…will you marry me?" With that, Harry pulled a small green velvet box out of his pocket and opened it, reveling a beautiful platinum ring carved in the shape of a dragon and a phoenix, together holding a large perfectly cut diamond.

Draco starred wide-eyed at Harry, his mouth in a silent gasp as though he wanted to speak, but had lost his ability to move. Harry waited nervously, starring worriedly at Draco's shock-awed face.

"Yes." It was barely a whisper and Harry almost missed it. There was a moment of dead silence, before Draco shouted "yes" at the top of his lungs and lunged at him, wrapping his arms around Harry's neck and repeating "yes" about a dozen more times before he finally let go.

Harry removed the ring and tossed the box on the dresser. He gently took Draco's hand in his and slid the ring onto his finger. Draco admired the glistening band before looking up and starring happily into the eyes of his new fiancé. He leaned over and gave Harry an almost desperate but passionate kiss: carefully and skillfully twisting his tongue around in Harry's mouth. It somehow tasted different: sweeter, gentler, purer. Harry wrapped his arms around his blonde lover and lifted him up: setting him gently on the bed and then climbing on top of him. They shared another passionate kiss before Harry slipped out of his shirt and then helped Draco out of his. He stared longingly at the smooth, pale skin before him, and without hesitation went down on Draco's neck sucking gently as Draco purred with pleasure.

"I love you", Harry whispered as he slowly pulled back and starred lovingly into Draco's misty gray eyes. Then he reached instinctively toward Draco's zipper, but paused just above: his hand hovering unsteadily as he waited for Draco to say something, but he didn't. He simply nodded.

"Are you sure", Harry asked.

"I've never been more sure in all my life." It was Harry's turn to nod as he slowly unzipped Draco's pants and slipped them off. He moved his fingers around the band of Draco's underwear and then slipped them off as well. Harry starred longingly at Draco's full length as though he were starring at a masterpiece. He tugged off his own pants and underwear before Draco pulled him back down for another passionate kiss.

"Will it hurt", Draco whispered.

"What?"

"Will it hurt?" Draco looked nervous, and Harry wouldn't lie to him.

"Yes, it might, but I promise I'll be gentle, and if it hurts, just tell me and I'll stop. I promise." Draco gave a weak smile before kissing Harry again. Harry placed his fingers gently at Draco's entrance and Draco shivered.

"I'm going to stretched you first, so it'll hurt less. Are you sure you're ready for this?" Draco nodded and gave Harry an encouraging smile. He still couldn't quite get the memory of the incident with the S.T. Seller out of his mind, but time had helped and so had Harry. Draco hadn't told him yet, and wasn't sure it was really necessary. This was Harry and he knew Harry would never hurt him.

Draco was jolted out of his thoughts by a sharp pain between his legs. His back arched and he let out a small cry of pain. Harry immediately brushed his hand against Draco's cheek.

"Are you ok, love."

"Yah, you just surprised me, that's all."

"I'm sorry…"

"Shhh…don't apologize." Draco smiled and Harry returned it.

"I'm going to add another finger, ok?" Draco nodded and Harry slipped it in. Again, Draco's back arched, but this time, he gritted his teeth to suppress his cry of pain and threw his arms around Harry's neck. Harry kissed Draco gently and slowly stroked his hair.

"Merlin, you're beautiful," Harry whispered when he pulled back. He slowly scissored his finger and listened intently as Draco's moans of pain turned to moans of ecstasy. After a few more moments of stretching, Harry removed his fingers and pulled Draco's arms from around his neck. He climbed off of Draco and out of the bed. Draco propped himself up on his elbows and starred after Harry.

"Harry, what are you doing?" Harry opened his trunk and began digging around before pulling out a small blue vile and returning to the bed. "What's that?"

"Lube, it'll make it go in easier and hurt less." Draco smirked.

"And just what have you been telling Eddy."

"Nothing he couldn't have figured out just by guessing." Draco looked confused. "It's easy to see how much I love you." His confusion turned to a smile.

"And do you know how much I love you?" Draco got a devious smirk on his face before taking the vile from Harry's hand and popping off the cork. A wonderful scent filled the room. It was indescribable and yet it seemed familiar somehow. Draco spread some of the white cream on his fingers and moved his hand towards Harry's length. His fingers gently stroked from the head to the base, covering the entirety. Harry shivered as his length hardened and took Draco's hands into his.

"Your hands are so cold." Harry looked genuinely concerned, but Draco merely smiled.

"Then why don't you hurry and warm me up."

"Your wish is my command." Harry pulled a pillow out from under Draco's head and placed it under Draco's lower back. Draco wrapped his arms around Harry's neck again and Harry took this as a go ahead. He slipped himself into Draco and immediately felt Draco's arms tighten around him: his back arched reflexively forcing himself further on Harry and he cried out in pain. His eyes began to tear and Draco couldn't help but look away.

"Shhh…Draco it's ok, it's ok. Shhh…are you alright?" Draco gritted out a yes, but Harry didn't believe him, so he simply stayed as he was. He brushed the hair out of Draco's face and then turned it to stare into those shadowy orbs. "We'll take it as slow as you need." Draco nodded and Harry pressed his lips gently down on Draco's. When he pulled back, Draco nodded again.

Harry pulled himself slowly back and then pushed slowly back in. Draco moaned, but not in pain. To Harry's surprise, it was pleasure. Harry did it again and was positive he heard Draco purr. He began to gradually speed up his movements and Draco clung tighter and tighter, moaning, purring, and arching his back in rhythm with Harry's pumping. In moments Draco was yelling Harry's name and a moment later Harry yelled Draco's name as he came inside his blonde lover. Harry collapsed on top of Draco and the two panted lightly as Draco swirled his fingers through Harry's hair.

"That was…amazing." Draco whispered.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I did."

"Even more so. It was my first time. Uh…how did you ever learn to do that?" Harry was silent, and Draco couldn't see his face, but he could tell that something was wrong. "Harry…"

"Maybe I'll tell you someday." Harry tried to speak lightly, but there was something in his voice that screamed that there was something else. Draco considered questioning him, but thought better of it. He didn't want to ruin this heavenly mood and perhaps Harry would be more willing to talk about it tomorrow, after he'd had time to rest. If Harry was in any condition similar to his own, then he wouldn't be in the mood to move let alone talk. Draco wrapped his arms around Harry and Harry gently kissed him, before closing his eyes and mumbling an I love you and a good night.

"Good night. I love you to." Draco whispered. He smiled and starred up at the ceiling. He never could have imagined how things had turned out, but he was glad that they had. He loved Harry with all his heart, and he was glad that he had given Harry his virginity. It meant a lot to him. Draco looked over at the clock: it was only 4 o'clock, but Draco didn't really care. He was tired and they would have to get up early tomorrow so they could make it to platform 9 ¾ on time. Draco looked down at his raven-haired love.

"Merlin am I scared. What's going to happen tomorrow? I hope your ready for this…my little phoenix." Draco sighed and kissed Harry's forehead, before closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep.

Sinilu flew through the window and landed on her perch. She starred down at the two boys, before what appeared to be a smile graced her beak and she took to watching over her kids for the night.

Sinilu Silverspell: Wow! Long review, I love it. Oooo, caramel, me likes. That's an excellent theory, but you do know that after Nicolas Flammel stopped taking the elixir of life he died right, anyways I still love that thought, though. Eddy knows a lot of things he shouldn't and you'll find out why later or should I say how. Yes, Draco has a reason for not liking Eddy although he doesn't remember why, and yes Eddy is hiding something, so is his brother for that matter. Well my boyfriend always puts on his shirt when he's still wet, because as he says it makes the shirt cling and makes himself irresistible to me…which it does. Well according to the length of your post there's apparently no limit. Draco is not the woman, Harry just likes taking control although you'll see later on that Draco doesn't want to be entirely dominated. I don't think the movie exists, but the idea just sort of came to me like I was remembering it so I'm really not sure. Oh I hated doing those Spanish skits, first because I'm bad at Spanish and second cause my class was filled with Mexicans who could all already speak Spanish and were just getting an easy grade. They all laughed at my gringaness. I hope you liked this smutty scene, it's my first one so it's not all that good, but just to let you know Draco is not entirely over the S.T. incident yet and the S.T. Seller is not yet out of the picture. Draco recognizes them from something that happened quite a while back, you'll find out in a couple of chapters though. I just love your theories, slightly farfetched, yet not entirely untrue. I'll leave it at that. Uh, I don't think Harry's to happy about you snogging his Draco. Uh, and sorry about taking way to long to update, please, please forgive me, begs on hands and knees for forgiveness. Yes, fluffy angst, my favorite combo as well.
