Pirate Blood

Chapter 37

Teaching Harry

Draco had to start teaching Harry how to sword fight today. He knew that it would be much different from his sessions with Kaylee. He also knew that it would be awkward. Draco was an hour into the session. He demonstrated a move with his wrist many times. Harry just couldn't seem to get it. Draco was behind him and had his hand moving Harry's wrist.

Kaylee and Ginny were sent down with a pitcher of water and two glasses for the boys. Ginny was giggling. Kaylee started laughing hysterically. "Yes Kaylee, I'm aware that this looks completely wrong. Yes, I'm still straight." Draco said flatly.

"I'm sorry..." she tried to catch her breath, "it's just..." she burst out in laughter again.

"Shut up, Kaylee." Draco said.

"I'm never going to learn this." Harry said.

"Yes, you will. It just takes time." Ginny said.

"Which is exactly what I don't have."

"He's right, you know." Draco pointed out.

"You're not helping. Come here Harry." Kaylee said.

"There's nothing you can do." he said.

"Just listen. You've seen the move. Now shut your eyes." Harry did as Kaylee told him. "Now picture yourself fighting Voldemort. This is the only thing to save your life, to save Ginny's life. If you do this move he will be defeated. You'll never have to worry about saving the world again. Now try the move." Harry tried the move. He did it perfectly.

"Wow." was all Ginny managed to say.

"I've been teaching him that for an hour. How did you do that?" Draco said, shocked.

"It's a trick I learned in Japan."

"I can't believe I can do this." Harry did the move again, perfectly.

"Neither can I."

"Don't be so shocked, Draco."

"When were you in Japan?" Ginny asked.

"Last December. I learned a lot about fighting and weapons there."

"Aren't they really strict in school?" Draco asked her with a smirk.

"I lasted three weeks." Draco laughed.

"You never could last long in one school. But three weeks? That's just sad."

"Yeah, I know. Alright, back to fighting. We'll leave you two alone." with that Ginny and Kaylee left.

Draco and Harry keep practicing for a while. Harry asks "Have you two really been fighting for nine years?"

"Well we started out fencing, which is almost like sword fighting. Thing we started sword fighting when we were eleven."

"Damn." Harry said.

"Come on. Let's take a break." Draco said, handing him a glass of water.

"Thanks. So you and Kaylee have been together all this time?"

"Actually, we weren't. She wanted to keep her secret, so she had all of her friends from before figure it out themselves. Hermione figured it out right away, of course."

"That's Hermione."

"Blaise figured it out a while back, but never told anyone. I didn't really know until about ten days ago."

"Really? But all that time, you and Chris..."

"Yeah, that was her way of hinting that it was her. I was just to dense to pick up on it. Kaylee and I only got together on Christmas Eve. Alright, you got insight into my personal life. What about your's?"

"I don't have one."

"Come on, Potter. You must fancy someone. What about Ginny?"

"You're on a first name basis with her now?"

"Yeah, well, she was the first from the order to be nice to me and not treat me like a villain."

"We know that you're fighting for the light side. It's just going to take some getting used to."

"Yeah, I get it. But back to your personal life. You, Ginny, there's something going on there."

"I just don't want to put her in danger. Why don't you let her decide? Maybe she's okay with being in danger. Talk to her about it."

"Do you think she'd want to?"

"To know that, I'd have to understand the mind of a teenage girl. So there's no way in hell that I'd know that."

Harry laughed. "Seriously, though, who would want to put their life in danger just to be with someone?" Harry asked.

"Hey, I married the key to all evil"

"But you didn't know that at the time."

"But I'm still with her. That's what's important. If she cares about you, she'll want to be with you. It's cheesy, sappy, and sounds like something out of a rubbish romance novel, but it's true."

The two boys began to go upstairs to change out of their sweaty clothes. "Who knew that Malfoy had a soft side?"

"Yes, underneath the silky hair, soft skin, piercing eyes, great biceps, wonderful ass, and rock hard abs, I'm just a big softy."

"You're never going to deflate that ego, are you?"

"Never."
