Chapter 21: The Response.

Harry had been up all night with a great idea, he'd write an anonymous response to Dragon's essay and have another student or the teacher read it to the class. He just had to get away from his protective husband, who just didn't get a clue that sleep wasn't an option for Harry tonight. The clock in the common room currently read six in the morning. Harry quickly took a shower and got dressed before running off to find Mr. Wagner the Arithmacy teacher, before going back to his rooms to eat breakfast with Draco.

"I don't want to hear you've fallen asleep between classes, or complaining that you're tired."

"I know, I'll just catch a nap during my break." Harry said yawning.

"It's not just that Har, you're pregnant which meant you kept our child up all night. You sleep, the baby sleeps, it's a thing. Sort of like, you don't drink alcohol because if you did, then the baby would be drinking alcohol. You go on a rollercoaster and have your brains shaken around, the baby has it's brains shaken around except that it'll kill it! Where you'll just loose the few brain cells you're currently running on."

"I get it Dray, I'm dumb."

"That is not what I meant. What happened last night? When I came to get you, you were in tears."

"You'll have to ask Dragon for his Arithmacy essay after it's graded. It was quite nice, he said I was his hero and not because I saved the wizarding world."

"So what happened to Cedric?"

"I've got to go, I'll be late for teaching." Harry got up and grabbed his briefcase.

"Don't think you can avoid the question forever." Draco called after him, before grabbing his own briefcase and going to the Potions lab.

"I finished grading those essays that were turned in early during breakfast this morning, and I have to say most of them were quite good. I was recently talking to a student that graduated some time ago, and I was given permission to read a poem he wrote about his son. Hopefully, it will inspire those of you who haven't done your essay, get an idea of who your hero might be." Mr. Wagner said, looking around the room at all the blank faces. "Mr. Malfoy, why don't you read this to the class, my eyes aren't like they use to be." He said, handing over what looked like a worn piece of parchment. Dragon started reading.

I never fathomed

I'd have a son

I'm glad that I did

He's been so much fun.

When I was young,

My life was set

I fought a battle

My life was a bet.

50 percent of the time

I was destined to die

The thought at 11

Always made me cry.

The other 50 I was destined to live

Defeat a Dark Lord

And always be remembered a kid.

My life had no purpose

The future was bleak

I was afraid at 17

My life had hit it's peak.

Lucky for me Merlin gave me a cause

A reason to fight when all hope was lost.

He gave me a soulmate, someone for fight for.

I was able to step out and make me my own boss.

I won the war and disappeared.

Leaving behind

Everything I loved and held dear.

When I came back

I was given great news

I had a son

My heart filled with happiness, away went the blues.

This tiny child

So delicate and new

Saved my life

Even though he was two.

My son is my hero

It's easy to see

He gave me my life

And a reason to be.

In case you're wondering

Who the mystery son could be

He's standing infront of you

For all of you to see.

My hero is my Dragon

His cheeks blushing red.

I hope by the end

I still have a son when I go to bed.

My Dragon is cute

He's intelligent and fun

If you don't want to believe me

Go ask any student that's been caught staring at his bum.

(At this point, Dragon was not only blushing, but shaking his head in embarrasement.)

They're easy to find

Just turn any which way

You can tell where he's been

By the studnets that are starting to sway.

Now that I've embarrased

This son of mine.

I'll tell you why he's my hero

Since you've waited all this time.

He's saved my life

and other people's too

If it wasn't for him

I wouldn't know what to do.

He rised up against odds

Thought impossible to beat

Expectations and demands

The public decided he needed to meet.

Not many his age

Could possibly dream

Of what's he's been through

and all that he's seen.

The fact he's so caring

And so charming to meet

Makes me feel proud

A feeling can't possibly be beat.

"Thank you Mr. Malfoy, you can sit down." Mr. Wagner said, smiling. "I was given that this morning, along with Dragon's essay. He wrote one of the best I've read in a while about how Professor Potter is his hero. It takes a look at a side of Mr. Potter that no one but his family has seen, and I'm sure if you wanted to get to know about him better, Dragon wouldn't mind you reading it."

"No, go ahead. I'd love to embarrase him a little." Dragon said, getting up as the bell rang and covering his butt with his book. He quickly made his way down to the dungeons.

"Did you split for pants Dragon?" Draco asked, as Dragon backed into his classroom, which was still filled with giggling second years.

"No! Dad just happened to write a poem that the teacher had me read, that pointed out that students stare at my arse! He embarrased the hell out of me."

"Oh I doubt that. I think I could have done better." Draco said, trying to cheer Dragon up.

"Yeah I doubt it." Dragon said, sitting in one of the seats. They had a fifteen mintue break between the first two classes.

"Hmm, let's see then. When Drag was small, he use to run around nude. He'd run around the house, and never once thought it rude. When neighbors came over they'd always have a sight, for when his diaper came off his white skin was blindingly bright."

"Okay you win! You better never EVER repeat that to ANYONE!

"Then he got older and we thought it would cease, but you could see his bum if the prophet was rightly creased. Right in the corner of pages two and three, Dragon's butt was in the air for everyone to see."

"STOP! STOP! STOP the madness!" Dragon yelled, covering his ears. Draco sat behind his desk smiling, having seen the two third year girls walk into the classroom and start giggling. Dragon uncovered his ears in time to hear one of the girls.

"Your son does have a cute arse."

"LA LA LA, I'm not hearing this. LA LALALA LA." Dragon said, running out of the classroom, before the three occupants burst out laughing. The rest of the day went pretty smoothly, though he refused to step into any classroom that wasn't the infirmary. "It was horrible Chast. I swear, if you could die from embarrasement I wouldn't be standing here."

"Dragon, you do have to admit though, thanks to Quidditch and working out you are in shape. People are going to notice you, especially when you're plastered on teen magazines, and over the television. I mean when you were in America, we had pictures here of you and Mat clubbing, swimming in rivers and pools, eating dinner. I saw more pictures of you topless then I ever cared for."

"I know, it's just come on it's my parents. That's just wrong."

"Yeah, well they did change your diapers, and it's not their fault you decided to have sex in the middle of a street."

"I know. Is it okay if I just stay here tomorrow too?"

"Sure, stay as long as you'd like. Just remember you do have to eventually face your peers. However, go on, Mat's standing in the door way waiting for you to eat dinner. I'd suggest since you're oh so incredibly embarrased, eating in your rooms."

"Thanks Chast, for everything."

"You're welcome. Now go on, you haven't eaten all day. I don't need you as a patient either." Chastity said, shooing Dragon out of the Infirmary.

"NO! NO! GET AWAY! LEAVE ME ALONE! STOP!" A girl's scream broke out down the dungeon's hallway. Quickly Draco and Snape were running towards the screaming, both having been on rounds duty. "Please stop, no please. I won't say anything, please." The yelling had become a bit more quite. Draco and Snape both drew their wands before slowly and quitely pushing the door open.

"Stupefy!" Snape yelled, hitting the half dressed teenage boy on the back with the spell. The boy fell forward making the girl yell before backing into a corner. Snape quickly walked over to the boy, binding him while Draco went over to the girl.

"It's okay, you're safe now. Here take this and wrap yourself up in it." Draco handed the girl his cloak as her robes had been torn to pieces. The only thing that seemed to be on was her panties. "I'm not going to hurt you, okay. Just take my hand and we can go to the infirmary. Headmaster Snape has the other person in custody, he's already taken him away." Slowly the girl came out of the corner but didn't come anywhere near Draco. "Will you let me escort you to the Infirmary, so that Mrs. Mayer can check you out?" The girl nodded but made sure that Draco left the room first, before coming out and following him, however staying a good distance away from him. Once they reached the infirmary, Chastity was running around gathering things, as Snape has informed her before going to his office.

"What happened?" Chastity asked, noticing the girl wasn't coming anywhere near either of them.

"She was attacked, about to be taken advantage of. She doesn't want to be touched, I don't think she trusts any of us." Draco said, watching the girl out of the corner of his eyes.

"Do you think there's anyone she would trust?"

"Being a first year, highly doubtful."

"What about Drag? He's recently gone through this with you."

"That acutally might work. I'll go get him." Draco said, running out of the Infimary and towards the Ravenclaw tower. "Oh good, you're still up." Draco said, walking quickly into the common room.

"What's wrong?" Dragon asked, looking up from his work.

"Infirmary, huge problem. Patient confidentiality, I can't say anything here." Draco said, noticing the other people in the room.

"Let's go." Dragon said, running towards the Infirmary with Draco, throwing the stethoscope around his neck as he went. Dragon liked the muggle way of medicine better then the magical. Muggles had come up with more cures then wizards did, which he thought was quite an amazing feat. "What do we got?" Dragon asked, walking through the doors.

"Well as far as we can tell, attempted rape victim, first year. She won't let us come near her, we can't get into touching range to check her over. I don't want to use my wand because she'll take that as a threat. She won't talk either so I have no clue if this has happened before. I figured that if anyone could get through to her it would be someone around her age."

"Do you know who did it?"

"Some sixth year." Draco said, looking between Chastity and Dragon.

"What's her name?" Dragon asked, looking at the girl sympathetically.

"Marissa." Chastity answered, looking through her school roster. It had pictures so she could identify the student if they were passed out or had a memory problem. Dragon carefully and slowly walked towards Marissa.

"Marrisa, it's okay. My name is Dragon Malfoy, look I'm going to roll my wand towards you okay. Therefore I'm unarmed but you aren't. The people behind me are nurse Chastity and my dad Draco. They'regoing to place their wands at their feet too and kick them to the wall over there. Once they're done that they aren't going to move unless I tell them to, okay?" Dragon asked, placing his wand on the ground and pushing it towards Marissa, while Chastity and Draco did as they were told. "This is a stethoscope, it's to listen to your heart beat. I'm going to need that later, but for right now, I'll place it on the bed, along with my robes. Don't worry, I have a t-shirt and jeans on underneath." Dragon said, carefully doing exactly as he said. The girl started to tense. "You're armed, I'm not remember that okay? You're in control. If you wanted to you could petrify me with a Stupefy if you wanted, and I can't do a thing. Is it okay if I come up to the end of this bed here?" Dragon asked, noticing the bed was about five feet infront of her. The girl nodded. "What house are you in?"

"G-Gryffindor." The girl said shakily.

"I use to be in Gryffindor for a little while. My dad's the head of your house. Would you like one of the adults to go get Professor Potter for you? Would that make you feel safer? You know, your head of house is in charge of your safety right? As long as they're there nothing bad can happen to you, and even though he's my dad, he is not allowed to let me do anything that would harm you. Do you want one of them to get him?" Marissa nodded her head, once she did Draco ran out of the room to get Harry. A few minutes later Harry came into the room.

"You need to be careful and listen to Dragon. Do exactly what he says." Chastity whispered, still not moving from her spot.

"See, here's Professor Potter. He's going to roll you his wand to you, and take his robe off and place it by mine. Then he's going to carefully and very slowly walk up to me. Then he's going to stop until you feel comfortable with him coming close to you, but remember you now have two wands, against two unarmed people. The two adults in the back are going to shut up and not move an inch. Professor Potter here will not harm you, and in no way is he allowed to let me harm you. However, I do need to check you over to make sure you're okay and to heal your cuts and bruises. Plus, I'm gay, I only like girls as friends, and I have a fiance I wouldn't cheat on him for anything." Dragon explained, as Harry did as he was told.

"Marissa, how are you holding up? Are you seriously injured?" Harry asked, Dragon was communicating with him telepathically.

"I--I'm f-f-fine, P-pr-rofessor."

"Please, call me Harry outside of class. Professor makes me sound old."

"O-okay." She said shaking.

"Marissa, listen to me, that boy has been taken to Headmaster Snape's office. He's been sent to Azkaban, he won't be coming back to Hogwarts or bothering you." Dragon said, searching through the girls mind carefully.

"Harry." Marissa said, nodding her head. Harry slowly made his way towards the frightened girl. "Is it true?"

"Yes Marrissa, it's true. He's in Azkaban, awaiting a trial. Intern Malfoy isn't going to hurt you, but he has to be able to heal you. I swear, I'll stand right besides you and hold your hand if you want. We have to make sure you're okay though. If you don't feel comfortable with intern Malfoy, Nurse Snape, Headmaster Snape's wife, can do the check up. Both of them are highly qualified in medicine, either one is a good choice." Harry explained, helping the girl to one of the hospital beds. Marissa pointed towards Dragon, acknowleding him as her Healer. Dragon slowly started to heal her cuts and bruises, giving her a potion for her throat since she had been screaming.

"This is a Dreamless sleep potion, you're going to take this in a few minutes and it works very quickly. Within minutes you're going to be asleep, but before you take it Mari I have to know, has this happened before?" Dragon asked, Marissa averted her gaze towards the floor. "When it did happen, were you able to get away?" Marissa shook her head. "Okay, tomorrow when you feel better, I'll come back and visit you okay? I have to do more tests, but we'll wait until you're cuts are all healed and you've had a good nights sleep. Do you want me to stay with you?" Dragon asked, taking his gloves off and handing her the potion.

"Healer Malfoy...Thanks." Marissa said smiling before taking the potion. Dragon stood there with a goofy smile on, stunned. 'Healer, she called me a Healer.' Dragon thought over and over again.

"Great job Drag." Chastity said, looking her over. "Drag?"

"Huh? Oh, thanks."

"It really hits you the first time, doesn't it. When you're first considered a Healer." Chastity said smiling.

"Yeah."

"Go on, it's way past curfew."

"I think I'll stay here. Just so if she wakes up, she feels safe." Dragon said, climbing into the hospital bed besides his patient.

"Just this once Dragon. You shouldn't get attached to your patients, that's when you make your biggests mistakes." Chastity said, before going to her office.

"If you need us, we're only a Floo away Drag." Harry said, kissing his son's forehead. "You did a great job. She was a difficult patient."

"Thanks. I love you two." Dragon said, hugging both his parents.

"We love you too Dragon." Draco said, hugging Dragon tightly.

"NO! NO I CAN'T, I NEED TO FIND HIM! I CAN'T LEAVE UNTIL I FIND HIM!" Dragon yelled tossing and turning on the Infirmary bed, effectivly waking up Marissa. "No please, I can't leave without finding him."

"Healer Malfoy, Healer Malfoy. Wake up, it's a nightmare, wake up." Marissa said, shaking Dragon's shoulder. Dragon just kept on yelling, and tossing violently in his bed. Marissa quickly ran into Chastity's office and Floo'd Severus.

"Miss Reyn, how may I help you at this late hour of the night?" Severus asked, controling his temper.

"It's Healer Malfoy, he's having a really bad nightmare. I can't wake him up." Marissa cried out frantically.

"I'll send Professors Potter and Malfoy right over." Severus said, pulling out of the Floo. Marissa ran back out and kept an eye on Dragon to make sure he wouldn't hurt himself. A few minutes later both Harry and Draco were running into the Infirmary, Dragon still screaming and fighting with the covers.

"Baby, come on Dragon you've got to wake yourself up. You've got to calm down and wake up." Harry said, wrapping his arms around Dragon, holding him to his chest so he wouldn't fall out of the bed and end up seriously injuring himself.

"Marissa, when did this start?" Draco asked, going over to the potions cabinet.

"I woke up about fifteen minutes ago, I don't know how long it's been going on before that. He was yelling about not leaving someone until he found him." Draco nodded his understanding, pulling out a calming draught and dreamless sleep potion. He then took Harry's place.

"Dragon, son, I'm here, I'm right here. No one is harming me, no one took me. I'm fine, Lucius isn't bad anymore. You have to wake up, you aren't leaving me to be harmed, I'm right here and I'm fine." Draco said, rubbing Dragon's back. After a few more minutes of calming and reassuring words, Dragon's eyes shot open and he clung to Draco crying.

"Shh, it's fine now. You're fine." Harry handed Dragon a damp cloth to wipe his face with. "Dragon, I think Mat, Tiger, and yourself should move into your father and mines appartment for a while. Just until we get these nightmares under control."

"Okay...Marissa, I'm sooo sorry for having woken you. Are you okay?" Dragon asked, looking at the girl on the other bed through Draco's arms.

"I'm okay, are you okay?"

"Yeah. Thank you for helping me." Dragon smiled, even though he had buried his head into Draco's chest and the crook of his arm. This effectively got him closer to Draco, more wrapped in Draco's arms, and hiding his blushing face.

"Come on let's get you to bed. Chastity should be coming soon." Harry said, placing the potions Draco got into his pocket before wrapping his arms around Dragon's shoulders and leading him out of the Infirmary.

Marcus walked into his classroom ready to run if he had to. "Professor Flint, we're really sorry for how we acted." The girls said, one right after another.

"Look, with a week until Halloween, I'll make you all a deal. I'll come back after Christmas if you all behave yourself. If you revert back to how you acted I'll go back to selling potions out of my personal labs."

"But that will leave us without a Transfiguration professor." One of the students called out.

"I'm suppose to care? I'd rather you all have to repeat the year instead of going to Azkaban myself. Now, the Headmaster wants me to inform you all that there are no classes on Friday because of it being a Hogsmeade day, since there is going to be a Masquerade Ball Sunday."

"Why weren't we informed of this earlier?" Daniel asked, outraged. a week was not enough time to plan a costume.

"I didn't know that this would come as a shock to anyone but first years. We've had one every year since the school has been opened, just as we do for Christmas. So I guess I should give you a heads up then huh? In Two months, we'll have another ball, for Christmas. There now you're informed."

"That's not funny. Seriously, how were the first years suppose to plan."

"Looking at the announcement board in your common rooms, where the announcement has been posted since you all returned to school. After all, that is what an announcement board is for, though the flyer itself was probably covered with Quidditch try out dates. The names of those who made the Quidditch team, Weasley Wizarding Wheezes promotions, and what not. Seriously, I think we should teach common sense 101, the Malfoy twins can be the teachers."

"Go Professor." Dragon called from the back. "What? I've learned a lot from them." Dragon asked, as the whole class turned as one to stare at him. "I mean, how else was I suppose to learn some of the stuff I have? Would you have learned about how to properly and effectively hide your wand, as well as you have since they've been around? Probably not."

"Ok, we're getting off topic. Halloween Masquarade Ball, Sunday. No classes Friday. Now, on with the lesson. Blah, Blah, Blah." Okay, so Marcus really wasn't saying Blah Blah Blah, but at that point Dragon had drifted off into his own little world, where Marcus was saying Blah, Blah, Blah. 'Halloween, a time to be sexy and crazy without reprecussions. Well, unless you have sex in the middle of Hogsmeade, but that was a one time deal. It's a time to be you without actually being you, so what am I going to be? I want to shock everyone, but it's got to be school appropriate...Right? Hmm, maybe I'll run that by Sev.' Dragon though, tapping the side of his quill on his desk.

'Thank you Headmaster. I can't believe he's going to let me dress like that! Wait until Dragon sees, wait until the school sees! I am definitely not going to be shy, innocent, little Mat anymore. I'm doing to be Dangerous, Sexy, Oh Merlin he's hot Mat. Now I just need to ask Chastity to help me, and figure out some way to keep Dragon away for the day.' Mat thought to himself, grinning wickedly.

KimeKimeKimeKime

A/N: Ha ha, yes just what are they going to dress up as hum? I know I know ha ha! Anyways, the next four chapters have already been wrote, and I'm now working on the Christmas day chapter. After the Christmas chapter, which to remind you is 5 chapters away, there will probably only be 2-3 more chapters and then this "year" is over with. :). Trust me, I'm happy about that because Twisted 5 has been a plot I've wanted to put into effect since twisted 1. He he he, however there are two variations of it, and I'm still considering which one I want to do. I can't ask you all though because well, I refuse to give it away. However, I am asking you to vote on this: At what age do you think Dragon and Mat should have sex with each other? Here are your choices 1. Over the summer. 2. During their 6th year 3. During their 7th year (Wedding will be during this year some time). Unforutnately their 5th year IS NOT an option as it would wreck the story line I will be doing. It's not even optional I will be going through with the story line. So vote, you have until the end of this story to think it through, and get back to me. You can change your vote a total of 3 times (If you vote now and then read a chapter and decide that on maybe your vote wasn't right, and then read another chapter and go no wait I like my first option or I like option number whatever). That third time you change it, that will be your final vote! End of story. If you have any other ideas of when they should sleep together, tell me and I'll add it to the options. If you have used all three of your votes and a new option pops up and you like the new option better email me and we'll talk it out.

D/N: The poems used in this chapter Kime made at 3 in the morning, Harry's was actually wrote 7 times all with different beginnings. She decided though that is should be a little off and a bit of crap since Harry was suppose to be up all night, sleep deprived.

Sarahamanda: Glad you enjoyed the last chapter. How's your nephew? and A LOT is going to happen now ;).

Heather: Sev: (Opens up robes so only you can see) See, now you see my abs.

Adrianna: Well thank you :), I thought it was quite funny. Glad you enjoyed Dragon's essay, and you're the only one that said it brought tears to your eyes :), which was the effect I was going for. Thanks, yep Ceddy was the one preggers. Dragon: Thanks, Arse kicked.

Inuyasha531: You really are quite mean to him. Well I'm glad you have a hero, someone you can look up to. I'm also happy that you enjoyed the chapter. The Twins:(Shocked expressions)ooooo, Richie's in trouble! Dragon: You aren't killing yourself slowly having a drink once in a while, if you're a heavy alcoholic then yeah, your kidney's could go bad, but I've never heard of anyone dieing of Alcohol. Plus, aren't you killing your self slower then I am me? Smoking and Drinking since 12, bad bad Inu.

Kelly: Thanks :) glad you enjoyed the joke. I was afraid it wasn't going to work. Sure, if I remember then you can have a cake for your birthday, hand delivered by Dragon. James: (hugs back) ah, it's okay makes Kime ep too ;).
