Chapter 29: Playing with Fire and Broken Hearts.
Melissa went after Dragon, she knew she was playing with fire, but she needed to know. "Dragon please, just wait up. Please." Melissa begged, walking as quickly as she could to the Gryffindor Tower.
"What do you want Mel? I'm sort of storming away, it doesn't work if you follow me. " Dragon said, stopping on the stair case.
"That song, it was about us wasn't it? You wrote that after we broke up didn't you?" Melissa asked, her voice lacking confidence.
"Look, I'm tired, I just want to go to bed." Dragon starting making his way up the stairs again, but Melissa grabbed ahold of his arm before he could get anywhere. She led him up to the Room of Requirements. "What are we doing here?" Dragon asked confused.
"We're going to sleep. I was petrified I might have lost you tonight, I'm not letting you out of my sight right now. We aren't going to sleep together in any other way but the actual meaning of sleeping in the same bed and doing nothing, okay?" Melissa asked, pacing in front of the door, the whole time thinking about the dormitory bedrooms. Instantly a door showed up on the wall, opening it up they walked inside to a four poster bed, a fire place, and clothing set out that they could wear to bed and tomorrow morning. There was also a door off to the side that led off to a bathroom.
"You can go and use the bathroom first, take as much time as you need. I'm just going to get changed and get into bed." Dragon said, moving around to the right side of the bed to pick up his clothing.
"Something bad happened earlier tonight didn't it? I really did almost lose you didn't I?" Melissa asked, looking at Dragon's upset face. Dragon didn't say anything, he just walked over picked up his pajama shirt and changed into it. Melissa knew that she was right, before going into the bathroom to change, she waved her wand using a complicated locking spell, looked back at the obviously upset Dragon, and walked inside. After 10 minutes, Melissa came back out in a t-shirt and gray shorts, walking over towards the bed, after she got in and she noticed Dragon was crying. "Dragon?"
"Please don't ask." Dragon said, turning towards her. Melissa just nodded gathering a crying Dragon in her arms, and held him until he calmed down. "I'm sorry about not telling you about that song. I'm sorry that I put you through worrying about me while I had to get captured to save Chastity. I don't want you to get hurt, I don't want anything bad to happen to you, but at the same time I don't want to give you up. I don't know what to do right now Mel, my head is full of static, I have too many thoughts and not enough pensives. I've been this way since last year, but you make the static stop, even for just a little while, and I don't want that to stop." Dragon said, his eyes getting watery.
"Look, you aren't going to get rid of me, I won't let you. We will deal with all the problems when we get to them, but you can't worry about problems that may pop up in the future, when you should be dealing with problems that are going on around you in the present, and right now you don't have any. Your parents, the order, Chastity, Severus, my dad, they have problems, but you are a thirteen year old young man, you don't need to help everyone else with their problems. They're adults and it's not fair that they come to you when they have problems. Chastity should have told my dad and I about her pregnancy herself, she shouldn't have sent you. Whatever happened tonight, it wasn't your fault okay? You didn't do anything wrong, those idiots that call themselves Death Eaters only involved you because they knew it would get to your parents and their friends."
"I killed someone Mel, I had to kill someone again, to save Chastity. I almost killed two, but she stopped me before I could. I'm a murderer, I should be in Azkaban, hell I was in Azkaban, but I'm not, I was let out. I might have hated it, but I deserved it for killing someone." Dragon turned away from Melissa, letting the tears fall. Melissa just wrapped her arms around him, holding his shaking body tightly.
"You aren't a murderer, a murderer kills in cold blood, you killed to save two innocent people's lives, along with yourself. Chastity and her baby owe you their lives, the wizarding world owes you and your whole family their lives. Think about it, everyone in the wizarding and muggle worlds owe your family a wizards debt. Some of them owe you two of them already. " Melissa said, kissing Dragon. Once Dragon calmed down, they finally fell asleep.

"Professor Potter! Professor Potter! Dragon never came back from the dance last night. I believe one of the younger students also mentioned that Melissa never came back either." The Gryffindor prefect said, talking to his head of house.
"What do you mean Melissa and my son never came back from the dance? The dance was at the school for Merlins sake!" Harry siad, getting worreid. Draco had to calm him down earlier that morning, when they dropped the twins and Alyssa at day care. Even though it was the weekend, they both had a lot of assignments and lesson plans to go through.
"What do you want me to do?" The prefect asked calmly, remembering a month or so ago when Harry broke everything in the school.
"Nothing, thank you for telling us Mr. Kist, that will be all." Draco said, taking Harry's hand, and Sirius' sleeve and pulling them into his office. "I'm sure that they are safe, and have a good reason for being where ever they are, when we find them, let them explain first. Don't go off on them, either of you. Now Harry, where did you put the Marauders map?" Draco asked, forcing himself and the tone of his voice to remain calm.
"Left hand side of my desk, third draw down, in a foler labeled 'the past.'" Harry said, staring a hole in the door that connected two of their four offices. Draco found the map and came back shortly later.
"I solemly swear that I am up to no good." Draco said, tapping the parchment.
"Well, there goes the map being a secret to only Gryffindors." Sirius sneered.
"There goes your chance with my cousin, oh wait, that already passed. Here, they're in the room of requirements." Before Draco even got out the last word, Sirius and Harry were already halfway down the hall. "Dobby." Draco called.
"Yes sirs?" Dobby asked.
"Can you use your magic to send me to the R.O.R. before Harry and Sirius kills Dragon and Melissa?" Draco asked, checking the clock on the wall. With a faint 'pop' Draco was standing infront of the door.
"How'd you? Oh no! The twins got a hold of a wand didn't they?" Harry asked, in the lead of racing towards the room.
"Not unless the twins are psychic and named Dobby also. I had to stop both of you before you killed them. Now, you two stay." Draco said, before turning around and opening the door. Thinking of the most likey thing was they were probably tied up as a joke by one of the older years. He was not however ready to see both of them in the same bed. "What in Melins bloddy name are you two doing!" Draco yelled, causing Harry and Sirius to run into the room, and Melissa and Dragon to jump awake in shock.
"Dad, father, Sirius it doesn't seem like it looks. Nothing happened, we just slept that's all." Dragon tried to remain calm, his heart pounding.
"That's not what it looked like when I walked in! You were holding Melissa, your legs were just a tangle of limbs. You're topless, her top is half off and you expect us to believe nothing happened? You are in so much trouble."
"I might be topless, but I'm still wearing pants, she's fully clothed, so unless you can reproduce through your clothes, which if it could happen I'm positive I would have a lot more siblings, nothing happened. I promised all three of you that I would not have sex with Melissa, can't you trust me on this? No, wait I understand, everyone's all hugs and puppies around me as a cover to make sure I don't do something evil or stupid, cause then one of you would have to kill me. No trust for Dragon, I understand completely." Dragon got up, pulled on a shirt and left.
"Nice you three. I understand that you guys don't trust us, but Dragon had to kill someone last night. He needed to talk to someone and cry it out. Yeah, Dragon did a crap load of mucked up things, but he paid it off, he's focused himself on school, and watching Alyssa, and now the twins. You two are wrapped in your own little world live, die, or have babies. He thinks he should be back in Azkaban for being a murderer, he has a lot of stuff going on in that head of his. So the last thing he needs is you two going off on him about stuff you should trust him on, when Draco can't even trust Harry, and dad's being an evil git to Chastity. So, when you all figure out your problems then maybe someone would remember that about five months ago Remus had a child, with who we all thought was Severus, but how could it be Severus' when he's with Chastity, and obviously isn't gay! Oh, and here's a thought, when did Sev start batting for the straight guys team? Now, close your mouths, I am going to get prepared for the day, give Dragon his robe back, and eat breakfast." Melissa said calmly, smiling at the three guys.

"You don't trust me?" Harry asked hurt, later that day in their rooms. They decided to take a break from grading papers for a little while. Draco looked up at Harry from the couch, Harry was currently standing by the fire. "and you couldn't even be the one to tell me that, it had to be Melissa. Do you know what it's like to have something like this pointed out to you by a thirteen year old?"
"Harry, I do trust you."
"No you don't, why do you keep lieing to me?" Harry asked, looking Draco straight in the eyes.
"Why? What do you want me to say? Oh yeah Harry, I don't trust you because you screwed Wood behind my back? That you were unfaithful to me? That if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have been 18, alone, and pregnant! That I'm afraid that one of these days you'll just get up and leave me, and then have it come true over the summer when you thought I, think about it, me sexually harrasing one of our children. You didn't even question me about it! You didn't do a thing, all you did was take our kids, throw me into Azkaban, and shack up with the next available guy. You don't think I've wanted to tell you since the day he set foot in Hogwarts that I'm petrified to have my children anywhere near their grandfather? That I will never set foot in the Astronomy Tower, unless I really have to, because while we were together, well remember when Lucius use to come visit the school?" Draco asked, knowing that Harry had to understand the importance of the Astronomy tower.
"Yeah, he use to come a lot during our sixth and seventh year, right before the war ended up getting really bad."
"He would rape me Harry, I didn't tell you then but I should have.Then he came one day, and all he kept doing was hitting me, so I killed him in the Astronomy tower, except that day, it was really my mum, and it's also the last place I saw you before you did your disappearing act. Then to have Dragon up there contemplating something that I myself wanted to do not so long ago, it was too real, and now I have to work with the guy. Imagine that for just a second, how could I forgive you for screwing Oliver, even if you were seduced, after only, and I'll give you the benefit of a doubt, a month. How am I suppose to trust you because of that? You haven't won back my trust, I don't know how you can win back my trust, but we'll work on it. It'll take some time, but we can work on it." Draco said, loosing his calm facade and cool temper. He was now standing on his feet, and pacing the floor. He stopped right in front of Harry, holding both his hands out and taking Harry's. "Please, we can work this out."
"Draco, I wish you could trust me, I wish we could go back to what we had before this summer. Hell, I wish we could go back to what we had before school was out, but the fact that you lied to me two weeks ago hurts the most. How can I trust you if you lie to me about trusting me. Forget Lucius, forget Oliver, and forget the kids for a minute and think about it. Have you ever really trusted me?" Harry asked, trying hard not to cry.
"Of course I have!" Draco yelled, starting to get mad.
"Really? Then why didn't you tell me about your father? Why didn't you trust me enough not to leave you? Screw the war Draco! You were, are, and always will be more impotant to me then any Dark Lord. Unfortunately I know now that you could never say the same thing about me."
"Harry please don't." Draco pleaded knowing the next words that would come spilling out of Harry's mouth.
"I'm sorry Dray, but maybe we should take a break, just until we can trust each other again."
"I do trust you Har."
"You're just afraid that I'll go screw someone Draco. You just yelled at me not two minutes ago about how you can't trust me, and not 30 seconds ago did I repeat those words to you. I'm sorry Dray, it's just for a little while." Harry said, leaving the room for his office. Both boys broke down in tears.

(In the day care)
"Da!" Elizabeth screamed, before breaking down in tears.
"Daddy!" Michael scremed, before doing the same as his twin.
"What's wrong with them?" Ginny Weasley asked, looking over at Luna and Seamus.
"I don't know, but they won't stop crying. Do you think we should get Dragon or Albus? I mean, they both said Draco and Harry's 'names'."
'Pop'
'Pop'
"Speak of the devils, what are you two doing here?" Luna asked, turning around and coming face to face with a red-eyed Harry and Draco.
"Oh Merlin, who died?" Ginny asked, noticing both their teary eyes.
"No one, by any chance did the twins get a hold of someone's wand?" Draco asked, trying to compose himself.
"No, but we can't get them to stop crying." Seamus said, before realizing the twins had stopped. "Until now. That's just creepy! They called your names, freaked out, and now you're here and they're calm as mice."
"Please refrain from comparing my children to rodents Finnigan. Harry, we have a serious problem. The twins know we were fighting, and they used wandless magic." Draco walked over to the twins. "Mes amours, you have to stop using magic to get your ways. Your dad and I are just upset at each other and you can't fix that, we have to ourselves. I would hate to punish you over it at such a young age, but magic is dangerous, you could hurt yourselves or someone else." Draco said, crouching down next to the twins and Alyssa, Harry sitting beside him.
"He he he...no." Michael said, giving an evil little giggle.
"I don't like that giggle Dray." Harry said, turning towards Draco.
"You shouldn't have either." Draco said, holding up his arm, Harry's followed.
"This isn't...They weren't even at that detention, were they?" Harry asked, staring at the handcuffs that were once placed upon Dragon and Melissa's wrists.
"You asked about them when I came back, and walked across the room when I had cast the spell. They won't let us out of these until we're happy and together again."
"There's the nursery on the left you could use." Ginny said, placing one hand on each of the guys shoulders. Ginny just nodded, while Harry and Draco stood up and walked into the room.
"Where to start?"

A/N: I am soooooooo sorry for not updating quicker, seriously. I've had work and school, and a bunch of other things. I am working on the next chapter as we speak and it's almost finished, it's just not as exciting because it's pretty much introducing you to Remus' child and the child's father. It also has Dragon and piano playing :), and Sev and Chastity. However, the chapter after that will be the start of this whole trust issue, and we'll go from there. I am going to tell you that I am running out of ideas for this "year" and there will be a HUGE clff hanger that will begin Dragon's third year. So with that said, I'm handing it over to Dragonto talk to our wonderful reviewers.
Dragon: Hi everyone! Did you miss me?Well, we've heard through the grapevine...okay okay an email, that today was someone's birthday :).
James and Kime: And you know how we feel about birthdays. They deserve to be celebrated!
Sirius: Brings out cake and presents, one of them being the key to Malfoy Estate in Hawaii So without further ado.
All: Happy 17th Birthday Orlin!
Dragon: OK, back to the reviews :). First up...SarahAmanda: We're glad you like it :) Hands you a piece of birthday cake and a party hat.
Orlin: lol Happy birthday, Hands you a big piece of birthday cake and a party hat here's the next chapter, and Kime was going to post it yesterday but she became extremely lazy. She even skipped school today. But yes, as you can tell, Kime is very obvious on what she leads on, because when most people read they always try to find hidden meanings in things, for example Julie, so making something blantly obvious tends to throw the person off. :).
Bitcake: hands you birthday cake and a party hat Thank you for correcting my spelling, my mom told me so I sort of had to guess on how to spell Slydell. Yes the situation in New Orleans is horrible, but a news report on the television today showed that people have donated more money to help them then they did for September 11th and the Tsunami Relief Combined! That is a LOT of money. 5 million or something. Yes Remus was pregnant giggles, I said the same thing when it was pointed out to me, I couldn't remember writing it until I went back to the scene where Harry goes and bakes cookies after Dragon admits that Draco was "evil". No, it wasn't by Sev. Yes people behind the hidden door were the band, great observation there though. Sirius: oh I am oh so afraid of my daughter! Watch out now! I'm shaking in my boots. rolls eyes. James and Kime: We won't...Plus Kime's sneaky like that. ;). Severus: You will not call me Sev, I'll let you dwell on how I would torture you. And obviously yes, I am straight, and no I'm not the other father of Remus' baby. It's fine though, don't worry about it, Kime's writing the story and forgot that Remus was pregnant so we can let you slide...this once. KIME: No I did not get hit by Katrina, I live 30 minutes from Daytona Beach so, it didn't even come near me, however Opheila is right off the coast of where I live, 15 minutes away from New Symerna, so I'm keeping an eye on that. Public school was closed yesterday (unfortunately college wasn't) because the winds were really bad, so my sister got to stay home.
Heather: Handsyou birthday cake and party hatYes we established that already...jackass, I know you didn't mean 'mum' or I lol, trust me. How did you forget that? How did I forget that? I only mentioned it once so that's why you probably didn't remember it.
