Okay, Chapter four!…. I'm sorry for how long it takes between chapters. When the first and second chapter were written the computer was in the living room, but now it's in my room. Most people would find that more convenient, but I am in the living room all the time, and only come into my room to sleep. (Mostly because there is a T.V. with cable in the living room, and an old scrappy PS2 in my room. That's it. And it's so old that the DVD's have to be brand new just to work. And sometimes even they don't work!) So, yeah… I keep trying to remind myself to write, but it's harder then one would believe….
Shadow of a Shadow- That's a great idea! But you'll have to wait until Christmas time comes because they are going back to school in this chapter! TT
Serpent91- Thanks for the review!
desdi- I'm glad you like it! I hope you like this chapter too!
Seshiru -Gives Candy To Str...- (It got cut off:D) Thanks for the tips! I'll go back and fix it later! (I'm lazy… --)
Hana Ann- Thankies for the review! Here's the next chapter!
Irite4uall- READ ON!
an kitsune- Oh, it's okay! I reply to everybody's reviews because I love you all! Pets ears Sorry, I had too… -
This chapter really has no key points for the story. Just for fun! They had to get to school at some point, and this is just the story of their travels there! I'm sorry if you find it pointless, but I think it's kind of cute and funny and it does have a little addition to the storyline... So, anyway, on with the story!
Chapter IV:
Caught By Professor
Draco
The days passed,
The hours droned,
And for a long time,
I felt safe.
Not because I was hidden,
Or because my father was gone,
But…
Because I couldn't be scared.
Because I was protecting Harry.
How can you be scared,
When they are protecting
someone they care about as much
as I care for Harry?
Over the last month,
Not much changed.
Ron still gave me the evil eye
one in awhile,
But we could suffer though
sharing a room.
Harry insisted that we not have
sex in the room if Ron could
come in.
So we had to everywhere else.
And…
We did.
Lets see,
We did in the pantry.
We did in the attic.
We did in the little nest next to
the furnace.
We did in about every closet in
the place, as well.
Hell, we did in the living room!
(That one took some sly talk
from my side)
The only people who know about
us are his two little friends…
But I suspect that the two in the
closet,
Sirius and the werewolf (Who's
name I discovered to be
Lupin…)
May suspect us.
Because whenever it's just us
and one of them,
They'll leave.
Or more, Lupin will make up an
excuse to drag Sirius out of the
room.
Then again,
They might just be horny for all
the hell I know…
I just get a feeling that they
might know.
I may be wrong.
I also think that the Wesley girl
may know.
She's a bright one.
Sarcastic, too.
She torments her older brother to
no end.
I like her.
Either way,
I found myself one day packing my bags to Hogwarts,
With Harry right beside me.
Harry
I always knew time passed
quickly,
But the last few weeks seemed to
have gone by so fast!
I was so happy that it all just flew
by.
But even with the growing
sadness hanging over my head.
The pain of Draco not being as
close as he was all summer.
Packing my things with Draco
was a lot of fun.
He told me about the things he
was packing,
And I told him about my own
possessions.
I even told him about my
invisibility cloak.
About how it belonged to my
father.
We didn't go much farther into
that.
He could tell that my parents
were a sensitive subject for me.
And I could tell that fathers in
general were a sensitive subject
for him.
We went to sleep that night in the
same bed.
No, we did not have sex.
That's not all we do.
(Although it is fun)
Draco just let me cuddle with
him.
I love being near him and his
warmth.
I'm surprised he lets me be that
close.
He never seemed like the
'cuddling' type…
But I can't stop myself from
curling up in his heat.
And he does let me.
And before I know it,
We are on the train.
Lupin brought us.
Sirius had to stay home.
I wish he could have come,
though.
Either way,
We found a nice empty booth in
the back.
Just me, Ron, Hermione, Ginny,
and Draco.
He said he didn't care if anyone
saw him with me.
But I'm still glad they didn't.
I don't want to be trouble for
him…
Draco
I'm a pervert.
We've been in this goddamn
train for about… TEN
SECONDS now…
And all I can think about is…
Well…
Like I said,
I'm a pervert.
Every move Harry makes seems
like a small little hint.
I don't know why.
Maybe it's all this cuddling.
I don't cuddle!
Okay, I cuddle with Harry…
But that's between him and me.
Either way…
He can't get that close to me,
Close enough that I can smell his
hair,
Feel his chest going up and
down,
Hear his breath,
Taste the flesh on his ears,
See the small blush spread across
his cheeks…
And not have sex.
It's cruel.
I know I can't go on like this.
I try to ignore it.
But why don't you try to ignore
your inner urges.
Especially when the urge is right
in front of you.
And his shirt is partway
unbuttoned…
Goddamn his stupid friends…
Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Draco had been on the train talking and laughing for about twenty minutes now. Actually, Draco wasn't doing much talking or laughing. He was mostly staring at Harry with hungry eyes. He was trying not to, and that much was obvious to Ginny, but no one else. Harry was even oblivious to this. And so when Hermione and Ron went to go to the front of the train for Prefect duty, she decided she just had to mess with him a bit.
Once the two left things went a bit quieter, but not to an uncomfortable extent. Ginny had a smirk on her face as she looked from Harry to Draco and back to Harry.
"So… Draco." She started with an evil grin. "What have you been doing all summer?"
Draco looked up. His suspicions were confirmed. She knew. And she was evil!
"I've been locked up in the house. You know that."
"I mean… You're always upstairs. You never came down much." She said. "Harry was with you, most of the time, too."
Draco looked over to Harry. God, he would suck were he ever seriously questioned. He can't hide a blush to save his life! Draco just smirked a bit, looked back at Ginny, and shrugged slightly.
"Nothing much." He said.
Five minutes later, Harry and Ginny were having a discussion, the whole time Ginny smirking, and the cart came in. Harry instantly got up to get some sweets, and Draco leaned over to whisper in the young girls ear.
"I know you know."
"I know you know I know."
"If you know, then leave."
"Nah, I like to see you suffer." She whispered with a smirk.
Draco looked over at Harry, who was completely unaware of this conversation that was taking place behind him as he picked out candies he though Draco might enjoy. (Though Draco didn't know the sugary sweets where for him yet) And Draco saw that two of his top buttons had still been left unnoticed.
"I'll give you ten galleons." He whispered in desperation. Ginny smiled.
"Deal. You must really want a shag." She said, holding out her hand.
"You have no idea." Draco said, opening his bag and handing over the money.
He quickly put away the money and Ginny hid it behind her back as Harry sat back down in his seat. He put the candy down next to him, careful not to let Draco see it, and then turned back to Ginny and Draco.
"I just remembered, I promised Michael I'd stop by…"
"Michael Corner?" Harry asked. "Didn't you dump him?"
"We got back together over the summer." Ginny told him.
"Oh."
"Well, anyway… I'll leave you two o do whatever you'd like." She said, winking as she walked through the door.
'Good job with the subtlety.' Draco thought with immense sarcasm.
The second the door closed Draco sighed, leaned backwards, and looked at Harry.
"I thought she'd never leave." He said. Harry just shrugged a little and turned around, grabbing a piece of candy and handing it to Draco.
"I… I got this for you…" he said, blushing and looking at the floor.
Draco observed the pastry in his hands. It was shaped like a dark red rose, a very intricate one. Every separate petal was in place, holding small drops of dew to its fragile form. But seconds later it changed color. This time it was a deep, velvety blue. And then it was bright pink. Every time it changed color the petals changed shape and the dew moved around. It was beautiful. Draco looked up at Harry, who was blushing.
"Thank you."
"It's kind of lame, but it pretty…" Harry said, pulling his legs up onto the seat. "So I thought--"
"I love it." Draco assured Harry, who was obviously having doubts.
Harry smiled and looked up just in time to feel Draco's lips land softly on his own. His lips held the same passion and warmth that Harry had felt the first time they had kissed. That seemed like so long ago, and yet not long at all. He could still remember every single detail. Seconds later both of their lips parted as Harry let down his barriers.
From that point Draco let his hands travel down to Harry's legs. He was suddenly feeling undying hatred for the baggy robes the school made them wear, but paid no mind after he felt Harry's arms find their way around his neck. He pushed Harry back a little bit, using his tongue to show his dominance, though Harry didn't put up much of a fight at that point. But when Draco's hands climbed higher, up to the buttons that were already undone and helping the other ones be the same, Harry pushed Draco back a bit.
"Draco, we really can't." He whispered, giggling slightly. "We're in a train, we're heading towards school, and there are people everywhere!"
"Oh, come on…" Draco said, nudging Harry's neck with his chin. "I promise I'll be quiet."
"If I say no, then it's rape." Harry joked slightly.
"Hmm…" Draco considered, and then nipped Harry's ear a bit. "I'll take the chance."
Harry laughed a bit and Draco flipped him so they fell onto the floor. He found that their legs tangled once they were down their, but neither boys seemed to mind.
"No one will find us…" He said. "We're in the very back. Come on, it's our last chance before we get to school."
Harry sighed, and nodded slightly.
"Okay." He said. "But you can't let me be loud."
Draco smirked at that statement and smiled.
"Don't worry, people shag on trains all the time."
"I really didn't need to know that." Harry commented.
Harry let Draco take over from there, as always. But as soon as his cloak was unbuttoned almost all the way, he blushed and looked up at Draco with those beautiful wide emerald eyes and held Draco gray ones. Draco smirked and leaned down.
He had his arms wrapped around Harry's small, fragile body, clinging to him tightly to prove that he was safe and sound. He could sense Harry's vulnerability. He wanted to make Harry know that he would never be abandoned or hurt, without having to use those words. He just held Harry's eyes.
"I love you." He said. And Harry's face went an even brighter shade of red.
"I-I love you, too." Harry said. At this point, Draco was accustomed to Harry's blush and stutter. They were key to his lover's personality. Without those… He wouldn't be the cute, sensitive little boy that Draco desired to love and protect.
He placed his lips on Harry's once more, this time not even taking a slight pause before letting his tongue skip across Harry's lips and into his lover's mouth…
And then the door opened. And Harry pushed Draco away in fear. Hell, Draco could have kept going without a second care who the hell was at the door. But once he looked up he was very grateful that Harry had pushed him away.
"Professor McGonagall…" He heard Harry whisper.
Draco and Harry were both frozen for a moment. But then the situation seemed to become obvious to both of them at the exact same time. Draco was on top of a very half-naked Harry, only inches apart from there very passionate moment. Harry jumped up and pulled his cloak together, while Draco slicked his hair back and tried to think something other then: 'Goddamn it! We were so close!'
Meanwhile, Professor McGonagall just stood there, her expression as if made of granite. Draco couldn't read what was behind her eyes, which was his specialty with most teachers and students, regardless of how hard he tried. Once Harry was fully clad and decent, he turned around with a completely red face (Even his ears, which made Draco wish even more that the Professor hadn't caught them), unable to look at either of the other people in the eyes, even Draco.
"I trust I can come inside now, correct?" the professor asked, looking at the boys as if nothing had happened. "All the others seemed to be full."
Harry looked dumbstruck, but Draco just nodded as he stood up and helped Harry to his feet.
Seconds later, the three were sitting down, Harry and Draco sitting directly across from the professor. Harry was looking directly at his feet, while Draco looked from out the window to McGonagall, wondering why they were not being questioned about what they were doing. He held on to the pathetic illusion that perhaps she didn't think they were doing what they were actually doing, but he didn't hold much hope.
"Professor…" Draco's head snapped as Harry said the first word. His voice sounded slightly scared. "You aren't… going to…. Tell anyone about… about this… A-are you?"
The question was uttered sloppily and full of fear, and Draco looked over at McGonagall with wide, questioning eyes. He wanted to know the answer to this one, as well.
"I am not a person who would tell a lie, Mr. Potter." She stated solemnly.
Harry looked up for a moment, his face bright red, but quickly lowered it again as Draco just scooted closer to calm him down a bit. Just as he wasn't allowed to be frightened of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named because he was protecting Harry, he couldn't be afraid of McGonagall, either.
"But," She continued. "I am also not one to tolerate or spread gossip of any sort."
Harry smiled a bit without raising his head and nodded a little. He whispered out a pathetic word of thanks, which Draco felt wasn't required considering what she was doing wasn't something she needed to be thanked for, in his opinion. She never said she wouldn't tell anyone, she just said they had to ask her first.
The rest of the ride passed with mostly silence. Draco was supremely annoyed by their teacher's presence, which restricted him from anything further then holding Harry's hand. And boy did he try.
When the train finally began to slow the professor excused herself and, in the process, let Draco out of his tiny invisible cage. They were only minutes away from the school, so they couldn't go far, but Draco was able to restrain himself to deep, passionate kissing and a tight embrace, until the train came into a complete stop. They decided that they would avoid the first rush of students and hold up in the train for a few moments until going out into the chilly night air.
Once they were outside the train they had to be much more careful. If anyone found out about what was going on between the two of them… There would be hell to pay.
So, with one farewell kiss behind the statue of a witch holding a potion, they parted to the dinning area, where they were forced to sit on complete opposite sides of the room.
The dinner went as usual. The sorting hat sang of inter-house relations. Telling them to band together and such. Harry thought with a rush of joy that he finally understood the message. What did it matter, in the end? Who cares what house they were in? Draco could be in Slytherin and he could be in Gryffindor, but it didn't matter!
And then it was time for bed. Harry sat up for hours thinking until he finally closed his eyes, as did Draco…
Harry
That night…
I felt so cold…
So lonely…
It had been a long time since I
had slept alone.
With no one's heartbeat
throbbing next to my ear…
No warm breath on my neck…
No arms wrapped around me,
Protecting me from the cold.
I pulled my knees to my chest,
And wrapped my arms around
my whole body,
But it just…
Wasn't the same…
I needed his warmth.
I wanted his arms!
I couldn't sleep.
I tossed and turned all night.
Ron noticed.
He told me I was acting like a
lunatic.
I guess I kind of am.
But…
It hurts to be alone again.
Before,
When I was alone,
I didn't hurt,
Because I didn't know how
happy I felt when someone else
was with me.
It's like…
If you never felt sad,
You would never feel happy.
Except…
In reverse.
If you never felt the happiness of
having someone hold you and
keep you safe and warm…
Then you wouldn't know the
empty feeling,
The sadness,
The cold,
When that person is no longer
there…
So I close my eyes…
And try to remember that warm
fluttering feeling…
It works…
Kind of…
It takes awhile…
But I finally drift into an uneasy
sleep.
Draco
I can't sleep.
I'm worried about him.
I know he needs me to sleep.
Once, when Ron was in the
room,
He tossed and turned the entire
time until his friend fell asleep,
And then jumped right into my
bed.
I can just see him in my mind,
Tossing
And turning
And shivering.
I can't believe how much it's
affecting me.
I guess…
In the end…
I can't sleep without him, either.
I need to have him in my arms.
I need to know that he's safe and
sound.
I stand up and pace the room.
Everyone else is asleep,
So it doesn't really matter much.
It wouldn't matter if they were
awake, anyway.
I noticed when I first got here,
Nearly half the Slytherin's hadn't
returned this year.
So the room was practically
empty anyway.
I can only assume they all got
what was coming to them.
It would have happened to me
too,
Had I not run away with my tail
between my legs.
But I don't care.
I'm glad I ran the fuck away.
If I hadn't,
I would be in a cold jail cell right
about now.
I wouldn't have had spent weeks
with Harry.
I wouldn't have found out how
much I loved him…
I wouldn't have had the chance
to nibble on his cute little ears…
I sighed and laid myself down
onto my bed.
I just hope to god Harry will find
a way to sleep.
And try to do the same.
Okay, this chapter wasn't great, but I still like it. It's short, and slightly pointless… (But not entirely… Because it says how they feel about being alone. AND now the professor knows about Draco and Harry!) Anyway, I'm too tired to make any more comments. (It's midnight… xX) Sorry about that. I still need to find the disk so that I can save this thing, too… I think it's in my backpack… Okay, I'm starting to babble… Bye bye!
If you review I'll give you candy… (Not really)
