It was dark in Harry's chamber. He and Draco had left only mere moments ago to meet Snape and go to Hogwarts, so they could revive professor Dumbledore.
Since Draco was already off age, he was allowed to apparate. And so they parted – Harry doing some Side-Along-Apparition – off to Hogsmeade. It was exactly 1:58 am when they arrived there. While waiting on Snape, Harry was trying to relive the memories of the last hour.
He remembered very well how Draco had been lying on his bed, trying to comfort Harry with southing words that 'everything would be alright'. When they finished kissing, Harry had become very sombre. When Draco had asked what was wrong, he just told him that 'he missed Dumbledore and Sirius'. But he had far more to worry about. He was worrying about the fact that he and Draco – a boy – had just kissed.
Parry Hotter also didn't cooperate. He was always trying to tell Harry that he loved Draco. It was Parry who crawled into his mind and who convinced Harry to kiss Draco back. It was Parry who let Harry feel like he loved Draco, even though he was having a relationship with Ginny. Gosh. Harry didn't know what Ginny would say when she found out he had been snogging Draco…
'You did what? You kissed Draco? KISSED DRACO? Oh my god, and I thought you belonged to me, that you loved me! You sod! How was I ever able to start a relationship with a gay! Yuck! That's sooo grouse!'
But far worse: what would his best friend Ron say?
'Well,' Parry said, 'He'd probably say nothing, but would just beat you up and only stop when you'd be in St. Mungo's.'
'Ha, ha. Very comforting.' Harry replied with a sarcastic tone.
'What did I do now? I only told you the truth!'
'Oh, just sod off, will you?'
Biep biep.
Harry looked at his watch. 2:00 am. Snape would be here any moment now.
He looked around the dark streets, in search of the slightest sign of his former Potions Master and the Half-Blood Prince who helped him so much.
A sudden breeze announced the arrival of Severus Snape, and indeed, when Harry turned around he saw Dumbledore's 'murderer'.
'Draco, Potter. Follow me.'
'Hold on, Uncle Sev. Harry here doesn't quite trust you. I convinced him into coming by letting him perform Occlumency against you. He knows the spell, since you taught him in fifth year. Could you please let him do this?'
Unconsciously, Draco slipped his arm around Harry's waste. Harry grimaced and pulled away with a look of horror on his face. He looked at Snape, who – incredibly – smiled.
'I always thought you guys would tend up in a relationship.' He said without his usual sneer.
'Oh, we don't have a relationship, Uncle Sev. Not yet, anyway.'
Snape's smile faded, but was quickly replaced by another one.
'Well, that's okay. It's not that you would be together after a one-night-stand.'
He sniggered.
'But anyway, Potter, are you still going to perform Occlumency on me or what? We don't have all night.'
Harry quickly took out his wand, looked into those deep obsidian eyes and performed the spell. His mind was flooded with images of Snape's past: he saw how he was Levicorpused by his father and Lupin, he saw that Snape hexed Sirius with one of his own inventions (a hex that makes your toenails grow extremely fast), and then he saw Snape together with professor McGonagall while thinking of a way to keep Snape's position secure in Voldemort's inner circle. Finally, he saw the green yet of light being thrown at Dumbledore.
Harry lifted the curse: he had seen what he had to see.
'Why didn't you tell us that you had a plan about this? It would've been so much easier.'
'Well, that's easy, Potter. We were scared that the Dark Lord might get to you before Dumbledore had died, and since your mind is easy to penetrate, we thought it would be best to keep this information from you. As you see, it worked out well.'
'Now, let's get going, shall we?'
Snape turned and marched onto Hogwarts' grounds with a quick pace. Harry hurried to follow him.
Once they had arrived at Dumbledore's tomb, Snape took out his wand, and motioned Harry and Draco to take out theirs as well.
'The three of us will have to perform the spell together. Otherwise the magic won't be strong enough to – revive – Albus. Potter, come over here. Okay, I count to three and then you use the Adava Kedavra.'
'One. Two.'
'Three! ADAVA KEDAVRA!'
A green light shot from their wands, hitting Dumbledore's tomb.
'KEEP THE CONTACT!' Snape yelled to get over the sound of their spells.
After several minutes, the tomb began to melt. Slowly but surely, Dumbledore's body became visible and Harry got a shock of sadness when he saw his lifeless body. That was the moment that Dumbledore picked to open his eyes. The sadness disappeared and made place for emotions of pure relief.
Dumbledore stood and said:
'Ah, what a fine, fine night! That reminds me of these words: nitwit, oddment, blubber and tweak. Great words, aren't they.' He looked at the three people surrounding him. Snape rolled his eyes, Harry laughed and Draco merely sniggered.
'Ah, Harry! Good to see you. Terribly rude of me to let you in the unknowing of course, but I'm sure you understand why I couldn't tell you. The risk was too big.'
Harry nodded. 'Snape explained.'
'Call me Severus, Harry. Snape sounds so – formal.'
'All right, then – Severus.'
'I'm terribly sorry to interrupt this happy revival, but isn't it time for you to return to You-Know-Who, Uncle Sev? He'll be wondering where you've been.'
Snape looked intently at Draco and nodded after a few seconds.
'You're right Draco, I should get going. I thrust on you to take Harry here back to his Aunt and Uncle.'
'Oh, that won't be necessary, Severus.' Dumbledore interrupted. 'He will be staying here, at Hogwarts, together with young Draco, perhaps?' He looked at Draco, waiting for confirmation. Draco nodded, put his around Harry's waist, and led him to the castle.
Harry looked around briefly, only to see Snape walk back to Hogsmeade, ready to Apparate.
When they reached the castle, Draco pushed Harry in an open classroom.
'Draco, what are you doing? Shouldn't we be waiting for Dumbledore or something?' Harry asked.
'Dumbledore can wait,' Draco said while moving closer to Harry. 'You can't.'
With that, he pulled Harry into a fierce kiss. Harry tried to pull back, but Draco didn't let him. After a few moments, he gave in and kissed Draco back.
His last thought before he let himself go was:
'God, now I'm doing it again!'
AN: There! Another chappie finished! Hope you didn't find it too dull. R&R please, it's so good to hear others comment your story.
Anyway, there's a little poll going on. It's about Harry and Draco (obviously). Would you like for Harry to dump Ginny totally and begin something with Draco immediately or should we let them wait some more? Poll going until Wednesday. Next chappie probably up Wednesday or Thursday…
