They arrived back at Grimauld place three and a half hours later. The death eaters had been handed 9into the ministry. Draco was with them, following Harry and staring around. Ron and Sirius were walking behind them, muttering and eyeballing Malfoy and Harry. Harry was enjoying himself. Draco was telling him all about his father and the death eaters' plans.
"There's something you need to know though, Harry. Voldemort is planning an attack Hogwarts. He has many, many death eaters left. He's using somebody in the castle. Listen Harry; are you taking defence against the dark arts? Because-"
"I think it's high time everybody went to bed. Draco you can stay with us of course. You can stay with Ron; he'll show you where to go. Harry, Sirius, I'm guessing you'll be off. Do come and see us tomorrow. We can go and visit the others in St Mungos. Goodbye Harry dear." Mrs Weasley held out her arms to him. Hermione held out her arms to him as well and he hugged her, and then Ginny.
"Bye guys." He gestured at Draco and Ron. Draco smiled and held out his arms to be hugged. Harry obediently hugged him and noticed that Ron's face was like a black cloud. He felt a wave of guilt well up inside him and let go of Draco abruptly. Behind him he heard Sirius muttering his own address and leaving without waiting for him. He followed but when he got there Sirius was already in the shower.
He sighed and collapsed on the couch, waiting for him. He felt terrible. He knew what Draco felt for him and, in some ways he wished that the younger boy did not have feelings for him. But a secret part of him in the pit of his stomach loved Draco's attentions and longed for more. If he was honest with himself he loved Sirius, he really did, but he did not want to say no to Draco and see the hurt on his face.
"Harry, you'd better either get in the shower or ready for bed." Harry jumped. He knew that if he did get in the shower, Sirius would pretend to be asleep and they would never talk. He got to his feet and began to strip off his t-shirt. He looked up at Sirius. He had his back to him and Harry could see his shoulders shaking. He walked over to Sirius and put his arms round his waist from behind. Sirius jumped and shrugged him. Harry let go and continued to undress but again, stopped when he had taken off his socks, shoes and t-shirt. He put his arms around Sirius again and this time Sirius did not pull away. He stood there with his face screwed up trying to block the tears.
"I love you Sirius."
"How can you say that?" Sirius was making no attempt to hide his tears now which were streaming down his face as he turned to face Harry. "You know Harry, when you love somebody you don't just go and kiss your ex boyfriends, especially not right in front of your current boyfriend!"
"I know that."
"I know you know! Which is why I've come to the conclusion that you don't love me. Have I done something wrong? Have I pushed you too far? Tell me, please Harry. I don't want to make the same mistake and see you punish me like that."
"No! Sirius, don't blame yourself! Please I…it was a stupid mistake. I know the way he feels abut me and when I saw him crying and upset like that…"
"You decided to cheer him up? I don't understand you, Harry. Is this to happen every time Draco Malfoy feels upset? What about when I'm upset? Will you do me the same honour?"
"Sirius." Harry cupped Sirius face in his hands, forcing Sirius to look at him. I here and now make the unbreakable vow that I will never be unfaithful to you again."
"Harry, no!"
"Escaphorus." Harry felt a searing pain in the parts of his body that were touching Sirius. He saw Sirius glowing in a weird green way. Then it was gone.
"Oh Harry…Harry, your shoulder!" Harry twisted his neck and saw something cut into his shoulder, branded, like the dark mark. It pictured him and Sirius, naked and holding hands. There was nothing sexual or childish about the mark. It made Harry shiver with excitement, love and fear. Sirius reached out and touched it and Harry felt a warm rush surge through his body from the place where the mark was.
"Does it hurt?" Harry smiled.
"Not at all. I…I'm so sorry Sirius. Harry saw the image of himself kissing Draco Malfoy in his mind and felt the mark sear with pain. He looked up into Sirius' eyes and it was relieved. And he understood.
Sirius leaned down and kissed Harry with such love and emotion that Harry felt tears of love come to his eyes. They stayed awake, touching and appreciating each other all night until, in the early hours of the morning, they made love slowly and gently, never taking their eyes from each other, feeling love coursing through them like fire.
