Rating: PG-13 to be safe.
Warnings: No spoilers cuz the seventh book hasn't even been written yet, but there is going to be yaoi in one of these chapters. That means boyxboy love okay? Technically there already is but it hasn't come out and screamed YAOI at anybody yet.
Summary: An exchange student has come to Hogwarts from America, and an old house is reopened, with Snape as the head. The gang is in their seventh year, along with Draco and his cronies. Draco and Harry have to share a dorm room. Serenity still doesn't understand the difference between purebloods and "mudbloods". Ginny is taking all advanced classes so she will graduate at the same time that the rest of the gang does. Neville is not nervous and forgetful anymore, Seamus is loved by all the girls for his accent. Hermione is in despair because Ron can't see how much she cares. Ron has just been appointed Head Boy and Hermione has just been appointed Head girl.

CS: ' Uh, well, ON WITH THE STORY!
The gang had to eat quickly, having been late for lunch due to Harry's little outburst. They managed to scarf a good bit of food down before having to take off for Potions which they would be having with the Slytherins and the Gryffindors.
They barely made it there in time but they had plopped down in their seats just before the late bell rang. Serenity was sitting next to Arale and Ginny was sitting next to Hermione. Harry was in the middle of Draco and Ron, who managed to keep glaring at each other. Harry sighed and sunk down under the desk slightly.
Snape frowned as he saw the three of them. "Weasley, go sit next to Longbottom." he instructed.
Ron quickly moved to go sit next to Neville, grumbling about something. He was probably agitated with Snape for moving him away from his best friend, who he couldn't even talk to in the common room anymore. He didn't know that Harry could invite them to their common room.
Satisfied that everything was in order, Snape started talking about today's assignment. It was a rather complicated invisibility potion that could have severe side affects if not done right. These included itching, rash, boils, enlargement of limbs, lips, eyes, or noses, illusions, uncontrollable floating, and delusional behavior. He then announced with a smirk that it was to be a pair project. Most people gulped.
When Snape started giving out directions most of the students took down very detailed notes, including Hermione, who didn't need them, Draco, Harry, Serenity, and Ginny. Ron tried to take notes but he and Neville weren't much good at it and Arale had already learned the potion and it's antidote.
Snape assigned them into pairs, Arale ended up with Ron and Hermione ended up with Neville since Snape wanted to avoid sending too many students to the hospital wing if at all possible. Madam Pomfrey was getting agitated at the number of students she received from his class on average every week.
Harry and Draco ended up working together, big surprise, and Ginny ended up with Serenity. No big deal on either side except that the Gryffindors and Slytherins thought that Draco and Harry were still mortal enemies. Most people hadn't realized they'd been civil to each other since the middle of the previous year.
They all worked vigorously on their potions, and the antidotes, until everyone was done. They had all been amazed that they had gone one class without Neville's telltale explosion. Admittedly, he wasn't as bad as he had been to begin with but he still wasn't much good with anything other than plants.
A new policy Snape had put into affect was that all of his students had to test their potions. Most people were playing rock paper scissors or something of the sort to determine who would take the potion. Draco and Harry looked at each other, unsure of what to do. Most people thought they'd be fighting, but they both had a worried look in their eyes.
"I'll take it." Draco finally said, picking up a vial of the potion.
"But, what if we got it wrong?" Harry asked, wringing his hands.
Draco just shrugged. "I'll be alright. I'm part vampire, remember?" he muttered. He drained the bottle without bothering to wait for a reply.
Harry took a deep breath and opened his eyes. He was unable to see Draco and therefore the potion was successful. He let out his nervous breath as Snape made a mark on his clipboard, apparently satisfied. Harry held out the antidote which he assumed Draco grabbed and downed.
Draco appeared a few moments later, holding his head. "Ugh, that stuff is awful. What's in it again?"
Harry looked down at the list of ingredients. "Bat wings, bat livers, bat eyes, toad's feet, salamander legs, some sort of horn..."
"Stop! Stop before I lose what little lunch I managed to get in the first place." Draco said, sliding down into the seat.
Harry chuckled and poked Draco in the stomach. He leaned over to whisper in Draco's ear. "Is the Prince of Slytherin a bit squeamish perhaps?"
The blonde glared at him, though it wasn't with the usual malice. He poked Harry hard in the stomach and chuckled when Harry had to grab his stomach.
"That hurt Dray." he muttered, rubbing his stomach. He pulled his shirt up a bit to make sure there were no red marks.
Draco turned away, looking over at one of the shelves of many grotesque things that Snape kept in his classroom. He had an almost overpowering urge to grab Harry's stomach and bite it, but not because he was having blood urges again.
He closed his eyes and tried to force the thought out of his mind, not being the first time he'd had them. He'd had urges for Harry that had nothing to do with his supply of blood since somewhere around a month after he'd started feeding off Harry. He remembered running his hands over Harry's stomach while he'd fed from the other boy's neck. What he could remember most vividly though was Harry sitting in his lap, the hero's exposed back pressed against his chest as he fed from him.
He gasped quietly and cursed, wishing Harry hadn't lifted up his shirt. This was not a good time to be having thoughts like that, and it was an even worse time to show that he was thinking about something sexual. He slid as far under the desk as he could without hurting himself or going completely under, hoping Harry wouldn't ask what was wrong.
"You okay Dray?" No such luck.
Draco let out a nervous laugh and glanced around. "Uh, I'm okay, I just hope we get out of here soon." he muttered, looking at his clock. It should be pretty close to time to getting out.
Snape appeared satisfied with everyone and he told them all to clean up their cauldrons, glaring at everyone and suppressing a smirk when it made them work a lot faster. It was funny what a look could do to someone, he knew for a fact that he could scare people very easily with his own glare, having scared off a few teacher's that way. He only wished he'd managed to scare Lockhart away with that look. The man had not only angered him but practically insulted him, and more than once too.
As soon as the bell rang Draco dashed out of the room, Harry not far behind him. Everyone figured they would be heading out to practice Quidditch or something since they still got to compete against each other in that at least.
Draco did head out doors but he was going in the direction of the lake, Harry pretty close behind him. Draco slowed himself down to a walk and it didn't take Harry too horribly long to catch up with him.
"Why'd you run out of class?" asked a befuddled Harry.
Draco shrugged. "Just wanted to get out of there is all, you know, get out of that whole atmosphere." He had managed to successfully cover the evidence of his earlier thoughts, though now that he didn't have to worry about anyone seeing it didn't make the images go away. He stopped next to a weeping willow down by the lake and pushed aside the 'limbs' to walk in and put his stuff down.
Harry shrugged and went in with him, though he didn't have time to put his stuff down. His books dropped to the ground as Draco grabbed his shoulders and pulled him into a desperate kiss. It was rather short and a bit sloppy since Draco had let his hormones get away from him.
When Draco broke the kiss they just sort of blinked at each other. "Uh, I-I'm sorry Harry. I-I didn't mean to do that." he muttered, his face still very close to Harry's. Despite what he said he leaned in and kissed him again, this time more gently and less forced. Harry wrapped his arms around Draco's neck and kissed him back, a bit clumsy since he wasn't used to it.
Draco put one arm around Harry's waist and the other arm around his shoulders, that hand digging into the jet back locks. Draco used his one arm to pull Harry as close to him as possible, both of them enjoying the contact. They finally broke the kiss off to breathe, both taking in panting breaths.
"Dray, what was that about?" Harry murmured.
The blond shook his head. "No clue, but I really liked it." He gently laid Harry down on the ground, any view of them blocked by the branches of the weeping willow as he kissed Harry again, just a small short kiss. He moved over Harry's face, covering it in featherlight kisses that made Harry blush unimaginably. Draco ran his hands down Harry's sides and then pushed his shirt up, rubbing Harry's stomach and causing him to giggle cutely.
Draco grinned and kissed him on the nose. "Do you know how long I've wanted to make you giggle like that?"
Kloak Dark: Muahaha! Despite that laugh, I am actually very sorry to leave you there.
Inu: Liar.
