(That means that I'm not altering my story along the lines of the
real 6th year because I'm lazy and I don't have time and I like my
story the way it is, thank you. Oh yea, no HBP spoilers
woot.)
Summary: After Draco switches sides Dumbledore
agrees to protect him from the consequences of the wrong people
finding out, which looks like no one has noticed...yet. Only the
damnable Boy-Who-Lived seems to notice that he has changed and,
unnervingly, Draco finds his eyes lingering too long on that unruly
hair and those green eyes. Harry has also found himself practically
licking his lips while his eyes slip over to Draco every now and
then. Before they can stop themselves they both land a late night
detention from the Transfiguration teacher for "not paying
attention in class". Thankfully, McGonagall hadn't mentioned
aloud that they had been ogling each other for her entire class.
After their detention, things start to get difficult and keeping
secrets is harder than ever for both young wizards.
Review
Replies: sinsoftheflesh98: yes, I loved your expletives so
I put them in there
drusillasrain: Yes, Hermione
isn't perfect. And Lucius has his only son and heir to keep safe
(though it's kinda late for that)
pezgurl, To Whom It May
Concearn,: Glad you like it, love
phoenixstarr:
-snort- internal bleeding... well that can be arranged :3
thrnbrooke,
Linari Tanis, StawberryJubilee, Saru-shinu: sorry I took long
again TT
philomel: ah, but the slippers make him all the
more insane, no? And yes, Snape is double-marked. Much as I
absolutely hate Snape right now (damn you hbp...), the man has a
heart (hence his comforting McGonagall).
Riyo: But it's
fitting, no:3 Harry: -sobs- But I love you Draco, how could you DO
this to me? -cuts his wrists- Me: Oh shut up you ass. (yes, ass,
because I'm an american)

Chapter Nine -- I'm Sorry, But I Love Him
Draco tripped and fell heavily on Ron when they arrived at Number 12 Grimmauld Place. Ron supported him for a moment before he steadied himself and shared a worried look with Hermione, who had finally collected herself enough to be of use. The group from Hogwarts walked into the dining room of the ancient house and discovered that it was in bedlam. Remus Lupin was shouting and waving his arms wildly at an equally frustrated Moody while Molly tried to get Tonks to stop crying in a corner and Arthur was whispering hurriedly with Kingsley Shacklebolt. Other aurors were talking amongst themselves and some were seemingly having the same argument that Lupin and Moody were engaged in.
Draco stared in shock for a full minute before Dumbledore shouted "SILENCE."
Immediate silence fell over the room and dozens of eyes turned toward the newest arrivals. Moody growled and went to dive for Draco, who jumped back behind Snape in fear of the man. Dumbledore cast a glance at Lupin who had his wand out and binding Moody in a split second. Lupin was red faced and puffing from arguing for the better part of the past half hour with the old man about Draco's loyalties and after a while he was seriously doubting his reasoning and starting to listen to Moody, but he wasn't going to let the old man know that. In the corner of the room a wide-eyed Tonk's sniffled. Dumbledore took his seat at the head of the table and motioned for Draco to sit next to him.
"Now. Let's get to business." Dumbledore turned towards Draco and considered the boy over his half moon spectacles. "Draco? We need to know the proper location of Malfoy Manor for a portkey."
Dumbledore used Draco's first name instead of his surname, partly because it would ease up the tension around the room and partly because this was a far more personal matter for Draco. The blonde sighed and glanced around the room once before explaining that its unplottable for any forms of transportation unless you're a Malfoy. Dumbledore nodded, like he already knew that and he just wanted to hear Draco explain it to everyone else first.
"Exactly, and that is why you are going to make a portkey for three groups to go to Malfoy Manor to rescue Harry." Dumbledore smiled at Draco sympathetically before turning to the rest of the order and splitting them up into groups. He sent McGonagall back to Hogwarts to take care of things back at the school.

Harry didn't know whether he should count by the hours or the days that he'd been a captive of Lucius. He chewed the stale bread slowly, now used to its crisp taste. Lucius is sitting in his chair with his ankle resting on his knee, the bunny slippers staring him in the face. Abruptly, Lucius stands and looks down at Harry. Harry waits for him to punch him.
"I'm going to kill you tomorrow, Potter."
Harry's gaze jerked up to Lucius. It was scary how Draco seemed to be almost an exact replica of the insane man before him, but not. Draco's hair was prettier and shorter and his eyes were a darker grey and his teeth were way better and he was slightly shorter. Harry stared up at his enemy's right hand man for a long moment. He was afraid of death. He very slowly thought about what could be said, and finally a confession popped into mind that seemed appropriate enough.
"I'm sorry, Lucius. But I love Draco."
Lucius just stared down at him.

It was lightly drizzling when they portkeyed to the outer gates of the Malfoy Manor. Draco looked to Dumbledore who nodded and handed out three maps as the group split into it's predetermined groups. Draco had made an extensive map, with his headmaster's help, of Malfoy Manor and it's deadly charms. Draco leads Dumbledore to the dungeon entrance, where he only has to guess once where Harry's being kept. Snape leads Moody and three other aurors towards the side entrance while Lupin leads Tonks, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, and Bill Weasley towards the back entrance.
Draco faces the nine foot ivory wall surrounding the perimeter of the property and prayed that he could still pull the charm. With a whispered incantation a tiny incision was made on his finger and almost immediately a dark red drop pooled on the top of his finger. He smeared it on an ivy branch that grew on the wall. The branch jumped to life and twined and twisted together until it formed a firm stairway over the gates. Once everyone was over the gates they started towards the Manor, watchful for the many snakes and hell hounds that roamed the grounds.
Draco and Dumbledore quickly made their way to the dungeon entrance with little hindrance. The door required a dark, medieval witch chant to open it and Draco just barely remembered it, though it took him several minutes to pull it from his mind that was working in overdrive. They got lost once, but found their way again when Draco realized he'd marked the wrong turn. A voice broke their silence and it made Draco's heart stop and ice run through his body.
"Home for a visit?"
A/N: Oh god I should be KILLED for not updating TT forgive me! But you must understand, between seeing Green Day again and school just starting and having sickening piles of homework and projects due and tests to study for that I had no time or I was too tired! I stayed home sick yesterday and I finally finished it for you! Now, onto important notes. I'm not entirely decided on the point yet but I believe chapter 10 (the next chapter) will be the last chapter thus ending my first WIP (ooh how exciting to finally have a finished chapter fic ) but I am not entirely decided cause I've been writing this since last.. May I think and I simply can't imagine life without writing Queer, Otherwise! However, be prepared for the next chapter to be the last TT But you also have a lot to look forward to as I will start another one of my ideas for a WIP after I finish this :D Oh and I'm SO sorry for the cliffhanger AGAIN! But I promise it's only because I couldn't bring myself to put the whole rescue in one chapter and I PROMISE I'm doing chapter 10 tonight!
