I'm sorry I didn't get it up sooner, but I was at my grandparents' for my cousins wedding, and it wouldn't let me load the chapter before I left!
disclaimer, I do not own Harry Potter, if I did, I would have a laptop and/or a computer that runs a hell of a lot faster
btw, I have a website now, you can find review replies on there,

The same thingy is at the bottom .
Harry glared at Draco as he tried to pull the smaller black haired boy down the bank of a rather large river. "I refuse to cross that death trap!" Draco stumbled when Harry wrenched his wrist from Draco's larger hand and turned to stare at Harry as he yelled out in frustration. "I refuse to!"
"Why! It's just a river Harry, it's not going to kill you!" Harry crossed his arms and tried to stare menacingly at Draco.
"I am not going anywhere near that river, if I have to stay here for the rest of my life, I will, but I am not going near that…that, that thing of doom!" He paused to look at Draco who was starting to look very annoyed "Draco? Uh, why are you looking annoyed?" Harry started to edge backwards "Draco, are, you okay?" His foot pointed as Draco suddenly started to advance slowly towards him. "Draco?" Draco raised an eyebrow but didn't stop. Harry eeped and in a quick twist, suddenly pivoted and took off.
"Harry get back here!" Draco took off after the shorter boy, his long legs allowing him to easily catch up to Harry, who, when he looked back over his shoulder, tripped on a root and hit the ground. Draco raced over to him and knelt down. "Are you alright?" He asked, concern in his voice. Harry scowled. "What?"
"Go away!"
Draco looked at him incredulously. "What! Harry, what is your problem today!" Harry scowled and pushed at Draco's hands as he tried to take a look at Harry's ankle. "It might be sprained." Draco sighed, then shrugged his shoulders "Oh well." He grabbed Harry's arms and legs and easily lifted him up like a bride, before standing and walking down the bank again with Harry in his arms. Harry pouted and hit at Draco's arms.
"Let me down Draco!" He attempted to growl menacingly, but all it did was make Draco chuckle.
"You sound like a kitten when you do that." He looked down at Harry "would you like some milk?"
Harry punched his arm. "Hell no!" Then he saw what they were coming up to "Oh Hell No!" He shrieked, before Draco tossed him into a pile of blankets on a large boat as the rest of the group looked on amused. Draco climbed into the boat and motioned to his soldiers who started to row across the river. "I'm not going to talk to you!" Harry muttered before pulling off his shoe to look at his ankle, experimentally poking it and wincing. Draco snickered.
"Real smart Harry." Harry scowled and threw a rock at Draco. "Ow!" He sat next to Hermione. "What the hell is his problem." He griped before turning to look at Harry.
"Harry can't swim." Hermione snickered. Draco turned towards her, his eyes wide.
"What!" He exclaimed, before lowering his voice "What do you mean he can't swim!" Hermione smirked and looked back at her friend before looking at harry.
"When he was about seven he fell into the pond in the gardens, he almost drowned and gained a phobia of anything larger than a tub of water. He still refuses to learn to swim." Draco groaned and his head fell into his hands.
"He probably hates me now!" Draco turned to look out of the boat. "I feel horrible now!" Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Don't feel horrible, Harry won't hate you, he doesn't even hate his relatives, he heavily dislikes them, but he doesn't hate them. He's like, incapable of hate or something. Don't worry, you'll be back in his good graces in a few days, and then you can keep on trying to get his attention and woo him. Draco's jaw dropped as he stared at her "It's pretty obvious you like him, tip, he's as oblivious as they come when it comes to someone who likes him showing they like him that way. That's actually how Ginny realized Harry's gay." She smiled at Draco "Yes, he's gay, She gave him little presents for years, poetry and stuff, until finally she told him she liked him and he told her he doesn't like girls that way." Hermione laughed. "But she got over her crush and instead acts like his sister now." Draco looked at Harry.
"So I have a chance?" He said cautiously.
Hermione nodded exasperatedly "Yes Draco, you have a chance." She turned towards Ginny who had watched the entire conversation with amusement glittering in her eyes. "Men are so incompetent and imbecilic. They can't get a single idea from an entire conversation!" Draco scowled at the two girls.
"Hey!" He swatted good-naturedly at Hermione. "I can too get ideas from a conversation!" Hermione laughed at him and tapped him on the head. "Hey! That hurt." He scowled at the two laughing girls and then at his men who were chuckling at him. "All of you! Knock it off!" They snickered but quit for the most part, concentrating on keeping the horses calm again instead. Draco turned to look at Harry, surprised when he saw the younger boy no longer sitting on the blankets. Instead he had curled up and fallen asleep, his long hair draped over his shoulder. Draco smiled and carefully moved over to pull a blanket over Harry's small form, his hand gently caressing Harry's hair as he slept.
Harry turned to look at Draco sleepily, his eyes still half closed as he woke up from his nap. "Are we off the boat?" He asked confusedly. Draco nodded.
"We've been off, I didn't want to wake you so I just put you on my horse with me." Harry nodded and then settled back against Draco's chest, one of his hands moving to grab Draco's tunic. His eyes quickly closed and his breath evened out of he slept again. Draco smiled and kissed his forehead. Blaise came up with Hermione on a horse beside him and the two smirked at Draco and cooed at him. "Shut up you two! You'll wake Harry, and why is Hermione in your breeches Blaise." Draco stated hotly. Hermione smirked.
"Have you ever ridden in a dress, frightfully annoying." Draco looked at Blaise.
"You didn't…" Blaise smirked "I'm going to kill you." Draco muttered and trotted his horse back to Mrs. Weasley and Ginny. "How's the ride, not too bad?" Ginny smirked and lifted up her skirt to reveal trousers.
"I've been riding for years with Harry, sometimes even to the next town to get certain supplies for Mother."
"Child-birthing is worse than riding a horse for days on end. And I am not some fat old wealthy woman who needs to be treated like a princess because she can't handle something." Draco smirked and stayed with them, Harry still asleep in his arms. "And how's Harry, still asleep is he?" Draco nodded. "Poor dear, must be exhausted to be sleeping this much, usually he's right as rain, must have caught a cold or something." Draco nodded.
"He might have, When we get to the lodge I'll have the Doctor look at him." Draco repositioned Harry as he elbow started to dig into his chest. "I'll only be another day or so until we arrive there." Mrs. Weasley nodded.
"Good, the Dursley's hated spending any money on the poor lad, even for a doctor." Draco scowled.
"The idiots, Harry was family and they treated him like trash, They should be hung for that. In Salazar they would have been." Ginny smiled happily.
"I'd love to see that day!" She said dreamily. Mrs. Weasley rolled her eyes at her daughter.
"Stop wishing death upon those idiots, it's better to concentrate on things that can happen or will happen darling."
"But mother, eventually they will die, and they could die horrible, excruciatingly painful deaths!" Draco smiled at her.
"I have to introduce you to a friend of mine, she's going to love talking to you. Both of you like to wish pain on people. The courts are doomed." Ginny laughed and swatted at Draco.
"Ass." She yelped when her mother swatted her upside the head at her language.
"Don't make me wash your mouth out with soap young lady." Ginny pouted.
"But mama! He is an...he is a donkey!" Her mother rolled her eyes.
"Just hush up Ginny, honestly, that kind of behavior is not very lady-like, you know I hate it when you curse, it's like your emulating your brothers all over again, before Bill and Charlie left to go live in the city with your cousin." Draco smiled at the older woman.
"It's alright, I've seen princesses with far worse mouths than Ginny." Mrs. Weasley groaned.
"Don't encourage her my lord! That's just going to give her far more ideas!" Ginny scowled.
"Mama! I'm not that bad!" Molly glared at her daughter.
"Not that bad! Ginny! You caused Harry, Hermione and yourself to all break your arms when the three of you jumped off the stable roof!" Ginny huffed.
"We were seven Mama!"
"Then you did the same thing last year!" Draco smirked and looked up at the sky. He held out a hand.
"Everyone, let's stop here for the night, looks like it's going to rain!" The group stopped and quickly set up camp, Draco looked at the still sleeping Harry and smiled, before settling him in his tent, as Harry's hadn't been set up.
