Chapter 2: Things Change.
"Harry, wake up mate." Ron said from a mere foot away. "Don't want to miss breakfast." Harry could hear the grin in his voice.
"I'm up, rough night last night." Harry responded as he got up and headed towards the loo.
"Yeah, sorry mate, I get so mad at Hermione that I forget things sometime." Ron blushed and looked down.
"It's okay."
The boys finished their morning routine in silence then headed down to the common room. They spotted Hermione and Ginny walking towards the portrait and Harry gave a small wave only to be ignored by the elder girl. Ginny shrugged when he sent a questioning look then followed Hermione out into the corridor. Ron and he followed shortly after them heading to the great hall for breakfast. Upon arrival, Harry subconsciously searched out Draco only to find that he wasn't there. Sitting down next to Dean and Seamus, they filled their plates and began to talk about the upcoming Hogsmeade weekend.
"Ron, aren't your brothers opening a shop up in Hogsmeade soon?" Dean asked.
"Yep. But not till around thanksgiving." He mumbled around the scrambled eggs in his mouth.
"Ronald, nobody wants to see the food in your mouth." Hermione piped up from her spot next to Ginny. "It's gross."
"You're not my mum." He grumbled.
"It is gross though dear brother." Ginny commented from the seat beside Dean.
Ron ignored them and went back to eating his food in silence. Just as they were about to leave the great hall, Draco stormed in, completely livid about something. Draco stalked over to the Slytherin table, whispered into Blaise ear then huffed and sat down. Blaise looked around the Great Hall in search of Harry and found him rising from the table, but glancing at Draco. Blaise nodded to Harry then grabbed Draco and dragged him out of the Hall.
"Uh, I have to go back to the tower, I forgot my Potions book." He commented to Ron, and then left before he could respond. Instead of heading towards Gryffindor he wandered to the Room of Requirements. Finding it in use he tries the door, found it unlocked then entered the room. He quickly found himself wrapped in the arms of a ranting blonde.
"How could he just pop up like this? I haven't seen him since the summer; I haven't even had any correspondence with him." Draco ranted, while Harry looked beyond his angry boyfriend to raise an eyebrow at Blaise. Blaise mouthed 'Lucius' with a very disapproving look on his face.
Draco pulled away and began pacing back and forth, as Harry sat himself next to Blaise.
"How'd you get away from the reformed duet?" He whispered to Harry.
"Left my potions book in the tower." He responded then directed a question at his ranging lover. "What does he want?"
"He said that my aunt is ill. But I think that he wants me home to keep an eye on me. He said that the lack of owls is alarming mother, who could care less because she's too involved with Nathaniel to notice anything amiss." Draco responded starting to sit down next to Harry before jumping back up as though hit with a stinging hex. "Besides, I don't want to leave Hogwarts; he's going to make me take the mark."
"We won't let him take you. Snape won't. Anyways it will make it look suspicious, taking you out during the year." Harry said while pulling Draco down into his lap. "When this started, I promised to keep you safe." He stated then placed his lips on Draco's. As they melted together, the other issues seemed to fade away. Draco groaned against Harry's lips and his hands carded through the thick, messy locks of black, while callused hands slid under his shirt.
"Still here." Blaise said with amusement in his voice.
Startled, the boys pulled away from each other, looking into the others eyes with obvious lust.
"Well, I guess I'll be going now." He said, as the hormonal teens gained more control of themselves.
"No," Harry said shaking his head as Draco countered with a "Yes."
Draco glared at his rumpled lover.
"Let's figure out what we are going to do about Lucius, and then we can see about passionate sex."
"Do I get some too?" Blaise asked hopefully.
"If you can find yourself some random hook up you might get something but it isn't going to be from either of us." Draco said then he started possessively taking a hold of Harry's chin and kissing his soft lips thoroughly.
"Again, still here." Blaise said after a couple seconds. This time Harry pulled away, blushing. He stood up, causing Draco to be dumped on the floor and then sat in an opposing chair. Draco attempted to sit in his lap but Harry pulled his legs up underneath him so there was no room for his delectable boyfriend. Draco huffed while sitting down next to his best friend.
"Okay, so why don't we go see Snape tonight after curfew? Make sure he knows what's going on and make sure that we can come up with a legitimate reason as to why you have to stay here." Harry suggested.
"You know Snape' position, he can't stand up to father."
"You're his godson; he is supposed to protect you when your parents aren't."
"Yeah but that puts him in danger!"
"Look, he knows what he doing. He will help up. He will convince the headmaster to intervene, or talk to Lucius and prevent him from looking suspicious."
"But it's not worth the risk. I'll owl father and tell him that I've decided to befriend and shag Potter in order to be protected from the crazy madman that he bows before!" Draco shouted. "That should go over very well."
"Draco, don't mad. I don't want you to write him, that's why I am suggesting we talk to Snape. He can help."
"But I don't want him to get hurt," he whispered. "If I just owl father it will be best."
"We will go to Snape's private office just before curfew. Talk to him. If you still want to send a letter to Lucius then you can do it tomorrow."
"Okay?" Harry questioned. Draco nodded. Harry turned towards Blaise. "You too."
"I'll be there. But Harry you might want to get going. Or you are going to completely miss Potions class and lose tons of points from Gryffindor.
"I'll go, but it doesn't matter, I'll walk in that class room and get 20 points off for being late, and another 20 for not having my Potions text."
"Here is mine." Draco said handing his over. "Snape won't care that I'm not there once I explain tonight. Try to warn him we are coming."
"Yes dear." Harry laughed, he grabbed the book and dashed out of the Room of Requirements, he didn't stop moving until he got to the dungeon classroom. He slowly opened the door and the heads of everybody in the class looked at him. Hermione looked severely disappointed but he wasn't about to pay too much attention to that as a silky voice barked out.
"20 points from Gryffindor and stay after class Mr. Potter so you can explain why you were absent from the first half of the class which you felt was unnecessary to attend." He lightly sneered. "And I expect to have 12 inches on my desk next class about the Caerula Sanguis potion. I want this on my desk before the start of class so that means you must be here early, I know that will be hard for you."
"I'll get it to you sir."
"Good. Now take your set and watch Ms. Granger. Any guesses as to where Mr. Malfoy is?"
"No Sir." Harry said. He was quite sure he saw amusement in his professor's gaze.
"Had I not known your history with the boy, I would assume that there is a reason for you both being late to class frequently enough. However, I know that is not something that needs to be kept an eye on." He smirked as Harry blushed.
Luckily, the class had gone back to their work, everybody that is besides Hermione, who, for the first time, was completely baffled with Snape's subtle attitude change towards her friend.
