Okay, since my comp's being weird and not letting me use certain symbols. Dragon to Dragon and Dragon to Human talk will be in {these.}
By the way, I meant to work this in, but Kevin's from America and as I'm really Americanized . . . I need all the help with the language and word changes over in England, so I'd be glad for any help.

yaoi-is-gay-13: Thanks. I thought it was as well.
Sowen: They still have some challenges left.
lizhowHP: I think I know what story you're talking about. I think it's called, "The Smallest Dragonrider". Is it about a boy who goes through getting beat up and still gets a dragon?
Evil Story Penguins: Here it is. [slowly backs away, not making any sudden movements]
Munkerella: Do you mean the English language as in grammar or how they speak in England? Also, I've never had a Beta, so I have no idea what they do.
paws10081: Okay, you do that and I hope you like it.

Heartsick Kindred: Chapter 8
The next day, Harry and Kevin got up as usual and started warming up until Draco came. Then, they would usually start with his lessons; they were up to making weapons. This was a highly valued and highly respected skill for Dragonriders. They prided themselves in being excellent weapon makers, but today Kevin and Draco were going to show Harry Draco's dragon.
They were both awake and were just waiting for Harry himself to wake up. Draco now slept in Harry's room, on a cot set up next to Harry's bed. With this set up, they could maintain contact without Draco being uncomfortable, or having to worry. Worry about what though, he wasn't quite sure himself.
Draco sat with his hand on Harry's impatiently waiting for him to wake up.
"He isn't awake yet?"
Draco shook his head, and nodded to the sleeping boy.
Kevin got a mischievous look in his eye and leaned down to Harry's ear. "WAKE UP ROOKIE! If you don't get you arse up right now, you'll be doing more training then ever in your life! UP! UP! UP!"
Harry jumped and looked around, and then spying Kevin threw a pillow at him. "What was so important that you interrupted my sleep?"
Draco looked up and smiled, "Well, we just thought that you would want to see my dragon, but . . . if you don't . . ."
Harry jumped up and glared, "You are one evil kid! You know that?"
Kevin grinned, "Stop it . . . you'll make me blush."
Harry and Draco started laughing. "If I wasn't half asleep right now, you'd be dead. You know that?"
Kevin smirked, "For which I will ever be grateful that you are. So, that's a no on the dragon thing than?"
"No, that's not a no! What are you nuts?" He hurried into the bathroom, to get changed.
Draco looked at Kevin questioningly. "How is he not going to be in pain?"
"He had enough contact from you last night, he can last long enough for this."
"Oh."
Harry came back out, fully dressed and ready to go. "Okay, let's go see it."
The three walked over and into the trunk. Kevin had put all three dragons in there last night, after leaving Draco and Harry sleeping.
Harry gasped when he saw her. "She's his opposite is everything, but size."
"That's what I said when I saw her." Draco grinned. "After he found her, they became practically joined at the hip."
"That happens, it'll wear off soon. Right now, they're still getting used to having each other around."
They got into a routine, with their classes. All of them had been arranged so that Harry and Draco had the same classes at the same times. So far though, they hadn't seen Snape as he was gone somewhere. They had study hall for the time being.
Harry, Kevin, Draco, Ron, and Hermione were now all above the level they needed to be for potions. (Complimentary of their new experimenting area.) They were all awaiting the time when they had Snape and did nothing wrong, what would he do now?
Their classes were a breeze. The teachers in their classes, except potions that is, were giving them harder work and having them tutor/help other students. Kevin and Harry were scheduled to give a class or two on what they knew of KD's. Draco was kept out of this so no one would ask questions on how he got his.
Things were going great, that is until Snape came back. That day went as usual, until potions. When they got there, Harry and Draco made sure to get there late, so that it looked like they had no choice, but to sit together and got ready for Study Hall. Then, Snape walked in.
He was scowling and seemed to be in an even worse mood than was normal, even for him. He turned to Draco and Harry and glared. "Mr. Potter, your pathetic attempts to cheat in this class will Not be tolerated! Move to the seat that Mr. Longbottom is occupying, Mr. Longbottom switch with Mr. Potter. Now! Ten points from Gryffindor."
Harry stood there gaping for a few seconds, "But . . ."
"Twenty points! Now move Mr. Potter!!"
He looked over to Draco, who gave him a worried look, they hadn't had enough contact to last this long. But Draco couldn't do anything unless he wanted people to know about them. So, Harry moved.
"No comments from you three either Mr. Weasley, Mr. Mitchell, and Ms. Granger. The potion for today is on the board. Get to work!"
He was fine for the first half of class. Then, waves of pain started washing over him, getting steadily worse. Finally, he doubled over and gasped. Hermione, Ron, Draco, and Kevin stood up.
Snape stood up and glared at the four. "Sit down and get back to work. Now!" Then, he stormed over to Harry. "Mr. Potter, your theatrics are not amusing. Ten points from Gryffindor now get back to work!"
Harry struggled to sit up, finally managing when the pain faded away a little. He managed to get a little more done before the pain hit, but then another wave hit and this one was much worse than the last one. He doubled over and fell out of his chair, whimpering. Sweat started pouring from his body.
Draco jumped up, ignoring Snape's warning to stay where he was, and rushed over to Harry. He kneeled down and cradled his head. He cursed; regular contact wasn't working this time. Draco turned and glared at his teacher, finally he said in a voice full of loathing, "This is all your fault. Be warned if anything severe happens to him because of your stubborn and pig- headed ways, I will come after you." With that line, Draco turned around and marched out of the room with Harry in his arms. (A/N: Always wanted to hear someone really tell off Snape.)
Hermione and Ron made to follow, but Kevin shook his head. This was something that had to be solved by Harry and Draco themselves.
Snape looked stunned and the rest of the class was quiet. Kevin stood up and cast a subject memory charm, which would erase only what they had seen happen to Harry and the interaction between Draco and the professor, on everyone in the room. This was not including himself, Hermione, Ron, and Professor Snape. The students looked blankly at each other, but then went back to their potions. No one noticed Harry and Draco were gone.
Draco carried Harry back to their dorms, and into Harry's rooms. Once they were there, he set Harry down on his bed. Harry only whimpered and curled up.
Draco sighed and summoned his information book. "Solutions for non-contact symptoms." He opened the book and skimmed to a part about forced separation for a period of time.
The book said: "If by any chance there is a forced separation not willingly, (meaning the mates didn't not want to be together) for any period of time, especially those of twenty minutes or more, the pain will not be solved by simple light contact. The mate of the one in pain must curl up with the person, achieving a greater amount of contact. Skin-to- skin, meaning chest-to-chest or chest-to-back, contact will also greatly help this. You should also talk to the person comfortingly.
The longer the separation, the longer needed, so prepare for a long wait."
Draco closed the book and set it down. Then, he set about pulling down the covers on the bed and pealing off Harry's sweat soaked shirt as well as his own. He maneuvered Harry under the covers and crawled in with him, lying chest-to-chest with him. He pulled Harry to him and put his chin on his head, talking about nothing, just random subjects, until eventually he fell asleep with Harry.
