The Escape

Harry gently kissed Draco awake. It was still dark but the stars had started to fade away. Draco didn't want to wake up. It was warm and comfortable in the bed. He didn't want to move. Harry smiled when he grumbled unhappily and turned away from Harry's lips who threatened to bring him to full awareness.

"Come on, Dragon. You have to get up now. It's almost time to go." He whispered in his mate's ear before kissing it.

Draco whined and batted him away with sleepy motions. Harry couldn't help but smile again. His mate could be so adorable sometimes. He knew he should get Draco out of bed and into the shower but the blonde didn't want to move. Harry's instincts told him to let the blonde rest in bed for as long as he liked. A pregnant vampire should rest when they were tired and Draco did look tired.

"You can sleep for as long as you like when we get to Godric's Hollow, baby. Right now you have to get up." Harry said, although a part of him screamed at him for waking his mate.

"You promise?" Draco asked groggily and turned to him again.

Harry smiled again. "Yes, baby. As long as you want." Harry promised.

Draco grumbled and whined a little more while he got out of bed and followed Harry into the shower. Harry started to gently kiss and caress Draco's body to make up for waking him. Of course this made the shower longer than he had planed for from the beginning but Hermione and Ron would still have time to get ready if he woke them now.

He reluctantly pulled away from his now post-orgasmic mate and pulled a fluffy towel around him. Draco smiled sleepily at him as he rubbed him dry with the towel. Harry then pulled a towel around his own waist before leading Draco out into the dorm again.

He told Draco to dress while he woke up the other two. Draco nodded silently and Harry walked over to Ron's bed where Hermione and the pregnant redhead were tightly wrapped in each other. He gently shook Hermione's awake. There was no use trying to wake Ron up without yelling him in the ear so he would leave that to Hermione.

He smiled at her when she opened her eyes and blushed. He still wore nothing but a towel.

"Time to get up, 'Mione." he whispered and she nodded.

When Harry turned back towards his own bed he saw Draco sitting leaning on the headboard asleep once again. He shook his head. The blonde must really be tired if he fell asleep that fast which meant that he was close to the birth and that it was a good thing that they were leaving Hogwarts.

Harry got himself dressed first before he leaned into Draco and started to kiss and nibble on his neck. That made the blonde wake up with a moan.

"It's time to get dressed sweetheart." Harry whispered in Draco's ear which made him shiver.

"Yeah, you said that already." mumbled Draco before he captured Harry's lips with his own.

Harry moaned quietly into the kiss before he forced himself to draw away from his delectable mate.

"Not now, Draco. We don't have time." he whispered.

He helped his mate to put on his cloths. Warm ones. It may be February but it was still cold and Draco couldn't afford to get sick. They may not feel the cold but that didn't mean they couldn't get sick because of is. Not feeling the cold just made it possible for them to work in the coldest of weather without a problem.

"I love you." Harry whispered to his mate as he fastened a heavy cloak around Draco's shoulders.

"Love you to." Draco responded and Harry kissed him.

Hermione and Ron joined them, arms around each other.

"How do we do this?" Ron asked quietly so he wouldn't disturb the boys who still were asleep.

"Hermione goes under the cloak with Draco. You and me... wing it." he shrugged.

"Wing it?" Ron asked skeptically.

"Yes." Harry said seriously.

"Oh great, what if we meet Dumbledore?" Hermione asked a little too loudly.

Draco had been dozing against Harry's chest, not particularly interested in what was said, startled at Hermione's loud voice. This made Harry smile and kiss him. Draco didn't respond to the kiss. He was in to much of a shock over Hermione's words. Yes, what if they met Dumbledore?

"Me and Ron will handle him if he comes along." Harry said just as much to Hermione as to Draco even if he never took his eyes from Draco's.

Harry took out his father's old cloak and draped it over Draco's shoulders. Hermione came and slid under the cloak as well. Harry kissed Draco again before he covered his head with the cloak.

"Stay wake now Dragon." he whispered as he opened the door to the Common Room.

"Yes, mum." he heard Draco say from just behind him and he had to smile again.

The walk through the castle went without mishap until they came to the Entrance Hall. Harry had taken the Marauder's Map with him to make sure they didn't meet anybody they didn't want. However, he didn't see anybody nearby the stairs to the dungeons and yet there was somebody there.

Dumbledore.

"Going somewhere, Mr. Potter?" he asked in a silky voice.

"No sir." Harry said quickly before Ron could say anything. "We are just going down to professor Snape for a talk."

"At this hour?" Dumbledore's eyebrows rose almost to his hairline.

"He is up sir, and I really need to talk to him." Harry said with a shrug.

"How do you know he is up, Mr. Potter?"

"He's a vampire sir." Harry said as if it explained everything.

"Ah, yes. Very well then, Harry." Dumbledore said with mock cheerfulness.

Harry led Ron, Hermione and Draco down to the dungeons. He looked back up the stairs to where Dumbledore was, and saw him looking down at them. He got an uneasy feeling when he met those sparkling blue eyes. He had gotten it for a long time now. He didn't like it.

He put his arm around Ron's waist and pulled him in close. Ron didn't resist but he got a little disgusted face at the thought of being this close to his best mate.

"Something's wrong with Dumbledore." Harry whispered in Ron's ear.

Ron shivered, but not in the way that Draco used to do when Harry whispered in his ear, this was pure disgust at being sexually close to Harry. And Harry understood him. He wasn't too thrilled about it either and Draco was probably trying really hard not to start screaming. Harry separated from Ron as fast as he could, which was right outside Snape's door. It slid open to revile Snape fully dressed and waiting for them.

Harry held open the door for the others and then closed it behind himself. As soon as the door closed Draco drew the cloak off his body and turned away from Harry. That might not be such a good idea. If he didn't want to talk to Harry then why take of the cloak? Keeping it on would have made it clear that he didn't want to talk to him.

Harry didn't care though. He walked up close to Draco and wrapped his arms around his chest. Draco tried to push him away but Harry wouldn't let go of him.

"Let go!" Draco suddenly screamed, which caused Harry to let go of him in sheer surprise.

"Draco, love, what's the matter?" Harry asked gently, not willing to make his mate more upset then he already was.

"What's wrong? What's wrong!" Harry winced at Draco's high pitched voice but didn't try to stop him. "Did you or did you not, Harry James Potter, cuddle with Weasley in the hallway! You obviously don't love me as much as him!" The blonde pointed an accusing finger at Ron.

"What?" Harry asked in confusion, then it occurred to him what Draco meant. "No!" both he and Ron said quickly.

Hermione, who had been standing quiet in the corner together with Snape so far, quietly stepped forward when the boys denied their involvement.

"Is that why you said what you said that day, Harry?" she asked so quietly that the raven haired youth almost missed it.

"Said what? When?" he asked, once again confused.

"When we found out Ron was pregnant! You said that two wizards only could have a son, but that is not true, is it? At first I just thought you hadn't paid attention in class when you went in muggle school. But now it makes sense." she said sadly.

"What are you talking about?" Harry asked in frustration.

"Male chromosomes, Harry! XY! Women chromosomes, XX! Men can have both girls and boys! You said that only to protect yourself didn't you? Just so Draco and I wouldn't find out that you had slept with Ron!"

Harry was dumbfounded. He couldn't believe what Hermione was accusing him of. Sleeping with Ron? Why would he do that? When he had Draco? Why would he even think of it? He told them as much but only received glares from Hermione and Draco.

Dray, I didn't, I swear it... he begged in his mind but Draco didn't respond.

"I swear to you all that Ron and I never slept with each other!" Harry tried again out loud.

Draco finally looked him in the eyes again.

"How am I supposed to believe you?" he asked quietly and sadly.

In response Harry opened his mind to Draco completely and carefully drew him in among his memories. He felt his mate search among the somewhat chaotic memories in Harry's head. When Draco couldn't find any other memories with Ron that involved sex, he drew back. He believed Harry hadn't slept with Ron now, but Hermione had sounded so sure...

"I'm so sorry!" Draco cried and threw himself in Harry's arms.

"It's okay, baby." Harry murmured in Draco's ear while he held him tightly.

Hermione didn't seem convinced but they could take care of that later. Right now they needed to go.

Ron and Hermione went through the floo first, then Harry sent Draco through with the promise to be right behind him. However, when Draco disappeared Harry turned to Snape.

"Something's wrong with Dumbledore." he said and the older man gave him a calculating look.

"No I doubt very much that it's something wrong with that old man. It's the old man that is currently sitting in his office that I'm worried about." Snape said seriously before he waved with his hand in the direction of the fireplace to make the shocked Harry go.

"Wait, what about Gin?" Harry suddenly asked.

"She will go through tomorrow night." Snape said simply.

"Why can't she come now?" Harry asked, still shocked over Snape's comment about Dumbledore.

"Because she'll get an owl tomorrow from Ron saying that she needs to come home. Everybody will think that you, Draco, Ron and Hermione went late last night or early this morning to go to the Burrow. Ginny, when she gets the owl, will come down here and floo to Godric's Hollow. Now hurry up, the connection is about to close." Snape snapped.

Harry smiled slightly at the older vampire and threw floo-powder into the fireplace, calling out his destination, before disappearing in the emerald flames.
