We stayed and talked with Severus for two and a half hours, meaning it was about 23:00, before we retired for the night. When we left we were shown the hallway access to the quarters, office, and classroom. I decided that I wanted to try something so we took the long way back to the common room.
At the entrance I quieted Draco when he started to say the password. Clearing my throat I hissed, "Open." The sound of grinding stones was heard as the wall opened.
I ignored all the stares we received and tightened my hold on my bond's waist. We headed straight to our dorm to prepare for bed.
"Dray, why don't you go get cleaned up while I do some rearranging."
"Okay. What are you moving?"
"You'll see."
As he walked into the ensuite I pulled out my wand. I levitated the beds into the center of the room, against the wall, leaving about two feet between them. Next I brought over the bedside tables. In the area farthest from the fireplace I set up a study place. In front of the fire I made a cozy sitting section. I conjured a settee, love seat, two armchairs, and a coffee table.
Right as I finished Draco came out of the bathroom in nothing but a towel, still wet. I had to restrain myself from going over to ravish him. He looked around the room at the changes I had made.
"I like it."
"And I like how you look right now."
Draco blushed bright red, seeming to realize that he was practically naked. He hurried over to his trunk and grabbed some clothes before running back to the bathroom to dress.
I'm laying in bed, it's about midnight and my blond just can't seem to settle down. "Dray is everything alright?"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine," he says all too quickly.
"I don't like it when you lie to me. Now, what is wrong?"
"I, I'm used to having my dad lay with me until I fall asleep. I just miss him I guess."
Waving my wand, a small blue light appeared above our beds. It was just bright enough for me to see Dray holding a pillow close. I lift my blankets and motion him over. Immediately he jumps out of his bed and into mine. I hold him close and in minutes we are falling asleep.
I wake up first the next morning to a weight on my chest. Looking down I see Draco clinging to me like a koala bear. I chuckle and pet his hair as I cast a tempus. It's just after 07:00 and breakfast starts at eight, knowing my blonde he will want at least 45 minutes to get ready so I decide to wake him.
"Darling, you need wake up."
He grunted and held me tighter while burying his face in my neck. Seeing as he doesn't want to wake I decide to try something different. I tilt my head down to blow on his ear and used my right hand to tickle his stomach. Slowly Draco started to squirm, then huff, and finally laugh as he tried to get away. I refused to loosen my hold on him as I continued the torture.
"I-I'm up. *haha* Stop, please!"
Deciding to take pity on the blond I released him then quickly grabbed on again as he almost rolled off of the bed. I leaned down to his ear and whispered, "Careful, love."
Dray sobered immediately and tried to fight off the forming blush. "I-I think I'm gonna get ready now. Y-you can have the shower cause I took one last night." The words were so soft I nearly didn't hear him.
I looked at the conjured time still hovering in the air. It was just before 07:20, so I planned to take twenty-five minutes to wash. This would leave me enough time to dry my hair and get dressed. I wanted to try something new though.
"Love, while I am in the shower why don't you pick out my outfit? You seem to have a great sense of fashion."
Draco's cheeks, which were still flushed, got even more red. "Do, do you really think so?"
"Yes, I do. Now, if you don't think you can choose my outfit than that's fine."
"NO. I mean, I can do it, if you would just show me where everything is."
"Come here." I told him the general password that opens the regular compartments. I turned the trunk so that the right side was facing us. I grabbed the handle and pulled, revealing a special rack where my school uniforms hung and shelves of my everyday clothes.
Getting up I opened another section and pulled out my bag of toiletries. Going to the bathroom I left Draco to it.
I stepped into the bedroom wearing a towel to see an a school outfit on the bed and the rest of my clothes missing. I look over at Draco and watch as he finishes tying his tie, using a mirror in one of the wardrobes. He looks up and startles when he sees me, cheeks turning a brilliant shade of red.
"Where did the rest of my clothes go?"
Without saying anything he turns to the other wardrobes and opens the doors. Inside all of my clothes were exactly as they had been in the trunk. I walked over to him and gave him a kiss on the head. "Thank you, love."
I grabbed my uniform off of my bed and went back to the bathroom to dress and dry my hair. When I came out ten minutes later Dray informed me that Allen, the fifth year prefect from last night, said to meet in the common room to go up to breakfast.
All of the students were in two lines, boys in one, girls in the other. There was a system, prefects in the front and than the years from first to seventh. As soon as we stepped into the open space the lines started moving.
We walked up to the Great Hall in formation. When we reached our table the lines split and we continued with girls on the right side and boys on the left. We continued until the end of the benches and sat where we stopped. Like last night I served both Draco and myself, putting a healthy balance of dairy, protein, starch, and sugar.
The entire time that we were eating I kept some form of contact with my little blond, be it our knees pressed together or my hand on his back. At 08:45 Allen and Stacy, the girl prefect from last night, stood up and told us firsties to follow them.
I wrapped an arm around Dray's waist as we walked out of the Great Hall.
"For years one and two you will only have core classes. In third you may choose any extras you want, but until then you focus on the basics. For mandatory subjects houses have classes together. There is a block schedule, meaning that you will have set periods for each class and they alternate between days. This is your list." As Stacy finished speaking she held out slips of paper.
I grabbed Draco's and mine. It didn't look that complicated.

"For years the board has been pushing to change some things around here. They wanted set class times and more education for the younger students. This year it finally happened," Allen said.
Stacy continued, "During study hall you must be in either the library or with a teacher. Teachers each have one day, besides the weekend, with no classes. If it is found that you are abusing the study periods then you will be assigned to a specific teacher each day for each period. You will also lose house points and earn detention."
"For one week either Stacy or I will show you how to get to your core classes. Today we will both show you to Transfiguration, we have a study period first. Flying goes until November, from December to March you will have a dueling class inside, then you have flying through the rest of the year."
"Well let's go."
We finally sat down at lunch. Continuing the pattern I served both Draco and myself. Throughout lunch I had to remind my little blond to eat several times, he was just so eager to fly. "You need your strength if you want to do well while flying, Dray. You need to eat."
"But-"
"No," I stood up and grabbed his hand. "Come with me." I led him out into the hall and a little ways away from the door. "I know you are excited, but I expect you to eat three full meals a day. I will not have you losing your strength because you aren't looking out for yourself. I'm here to take care of you and to help you be your best self, how am I supposed to do that if you won't cooperate?"
Draco looked down, almost in tears. "I'm sorry for not listening." He seemed to think of something and began panicking, "You, you don't hate me do you? I'll be better I promise. Please don't hate me."
I pulled him into a tight hug and cooed while petting his hair, "Oh little one, I could never. I like you very much. Now why don't you take a moment to calm down and then we go finish our lunch?"
He nodded his head and snuggled closer to me.
"Everybody stand beside a broom, that's it go on. Good good. Now, hold your hand above the broom. I want you to close your eyes and focus, try to feel the ball of power within you. Take a few moments for that. Once you have found the ball try to pull a little string away, take it to your hand. Let the string reach out to the broom. Say up in a clear, strong voice."
Almost every student succeeded quickly. Out of the ten of us only Bulstrode, Crabbe, and Goyle took more than five minutes. When all of us had hold of our brooms Madame Hooch continued.
"Straddle your brooms, keep a good strong grip. I want you to push off of the ground with your feet and use your string of magic to hover at a steady height of three feet."
Over the next forty minutes we worked on guiding the brooms. Learning how to get the broom to work with us. Most of us have been riding for years so it was a fairly boring lesson. We walked back to the castle.
It's seventh period and we are finally to the last class. I had my arm around Draco's waist as we stepped into class but I let go immediately when I saw who the teacher was.
"Hello Hadrian, Dragon."
