A/N: yes I know what your thinking look it's finally been updated. XD
Draco was nearly frantic; he couldn't find the bloody boy who lived. He'd checked everywhere, even the hollow Chamber of Secretes. Everywhere, from the common room to the room of requirements, even Dumbledore's office was vacant of the black haired boy.
Lunch came and went, with supper looming not more then 2 hours away. He didn't feel the need to eat, so he made his way down to the dungeon's, believing a long talk with Severus would help him.
He arrived in the dungeon and knocked on the potion masters study door. It opened to reveal Severus Snape, unsurprisingly, sitting at his desk grading papers, swearing at them.
"Hey, Severus, have a moment?"
"Many, if these papers continue this way, which I believe they shall. Come, sit, drink?" he asked as he got up and around his desk to a large imposing cabinet. From inside he poured two drinks of what Draco could only assume was brandy. Taking the drink, he sat and waited for his professor to up end his drink, it only took seconds. He started bluntly, wanting to retrieve Harry as soon as possible.
"I am looking for Potter, I can't find him anywhere. I know you hate him, but please help me. Do you know of anywhere he could be? I checked the usual, tower, room of requirement, chamber of Secretes. I can't find the bleeding idiot!" at the end of his rant, he sat down, for he'd gotten up mid way through, with a huff. He looked over to his is favourite teacher with a thoughtful expression on his face. Not exactly what he had expected, but it had been for what he'd hoped.
"You've thought of something?" he asked in desperation.
"I am thinking of something, present tense Draco. Now hush, and let me try and grasp my train of thought." They sat in silence for several seconds. An impatient Draco tapping his fingers and a thoughtful looking Severus with closed eyes, trying to recall vague memories of the past.
"Well…" said Draco unable to stand the silence any longer.
"I've thought of something. You wouldn't have checked this place, seeing as you had no clue to its existence. And seeing as he IS related to his father and his godfather was the mangy mutt, yes he'd most definitely go here to hide."
"Where the hell are you talking about!" Draco yelled, confused beyond tolerance with the potion professor's speech.
"Come and I will show you," was all Severus said as he swept up, grabbed a cloak and left the through the now open door. Draco had no choice but to fallow, not that he wouldn't.
The duo left the safety of castle walls onto the grounds. They approached a tall willowing tree. They stopped just outside of hitting distance.
"What the fuck?" was really all Draco had to say.
"This is the entrance to a concealed tunnel, that eventually leads to the shrieking shack. Impressed?"
"Sure… why not?" replied the Malfoy heir flippantly. "but how the bloody hell do you get it?" he asked in exasperation.
"Such language is not necessary Draco. But I will show you." Answered Severus, conjuring a branch he poked the knot in the tree and magically the tree stilled. Draco rushed forwards, but a hand on his arm stopped him.
"I must know, before you go down there, because when you do venture down there is no coming back, what your feelings are for Mr. Potter?" asked Severus in deadly silence.
"What do you mean?"
"Do you love him?" asked the older man, silence rang. Draco took a deep breath, preparing to say the sentence that would damn him and disown him.
"I do."
Again silence rang outside on Hogwarts grounds, even nature respected the silence.
Then Severus did something completely unexpected, he stepped out of the way. Leaving the path clear for Draco to go down and rescue, while more like talk, to Harry. He raised an eyebrow in query.
"Who am I to stop true love?" was the older man's response. He turned around and headed towards the castle, without looking back. When he was almost out of hearing distance he turned and looked at Draco.
"If you are disowned, know that you always have a place with me." He left after that rather bold statement.
Physically shaking off his shock, he climbed into the whole at the foot of the tree and slide into the dark damp passage. He walked along the path for quite some time before reaching a door which he swung open without hesitation.
Nothing, he walked in and was slightly disappointed to meet, while nothing. He started to walk around the house. Only noticing when he was ready to give up, that there was a staircase. Mounting it he noticed a light that was not present under one of the closed doors. He walked up and this time with some hesitation opened wide the door.
He was fortunate this time as the room clearly housed a distraught Harry. While maybe not so much the distraught part he was lucky about, mostly the boy who lived part.
"Harry? My love? Are you awake? Please talk to me?" said Draco in a gentile voice, Harry's head shot up. Though his question was not what Draco expected.
"Why did Pansy have her arm around you?" thrown Draco answered without looking his beloved in the eye.
"Because I sort of slept with her."
"Oh," said Harry, his voice becoming saddened, though his eyes harden. Taking this the wrong way, Draco said.
"Well it's not like you didn't sleep with someone!"
"You're right," replied a defeated Harry.
"But she isn't any more," said Draco in an effort to help this conversation along. "I don't want her to be," blushing slightly, "I'd like you to be. Seeing as you are now single and I sort of love you." Harry looked at him in amazement.
"But I thought…" whispered Harry, not ready to believe something so wonderful was happening. "You want to be with me, in the open?"
"Yes, my love. Harry James Potter, would you do me the honour of being my boyfriend?" asked Draco, the confident air of a Malfoy not really there.
"Yes, mon amour, yes!" Harry jumped up at hugged his new partner, swinging him around like a child. Putting him down, he embraced him tightly, and then kissed him passionately.
"Take me Draco, take me here and now," whispered Harry huskily into the blond's mouth.
They spent many long hours in the shake, not willing to re-join the rest of the world just yet. They only left when Severus had come and knocked on the door, demanding they come back to classes.
The next few weeks were bliss for the head boys. With their positions as head boys they didn't have much free time, but they did do patrolling together. At Graduation, they delivered a heart warming speech and danced the night away. it was only when they were done dancing and were heading back to their rooms that disaster struck. For there was someone uninvited and unwelcome awaiting them, in their rooms.
