(Harry's P.O.V.)
I rolled over and buried my head into my pillow with a groan. Ron ran in and began shaking my shoulder frantically. "Harry! It's Draco! Come quick!" The moment those words left his lips I was up and running. I skidded to a halt behind a large crowd that blocked my views and pushed my way to the front gasping. Draco and Seamus were tumbling around and throwing punches at each other. My eyes were wide in fear and disbelief and my mouth was hanging open. I snapped out of it when Seamus pushed Draco off of him and they both stood up, bloody and ready to fight. As they were going to lunge for each other I intervened and ended up getting punched by Seamus. I growled and my head was thrown back but I regulated myself and saw everyone staring at me in shock; Draco looked beyond pissed and Seamus looked scared shitless. I ignored the blood flowing from my lip and bellowed, "EVERYBODY OUT! NOW!" People scattered and ran back upstairs. I pointed to the couch and snarled a bit. "Sit." I ordered. My lip was hurting and I was scared but I made it look like I was pissed instead. They scrambled to run over so that they were sitting on opposite sides of the couch, glaring at nothing and everything. My hands shook as I ran them through my hair and noticed that Draco had a few bruises on his arms and Seamus's clothes were spotted with blood from a cut on his forehead. "What the hell happened?" They both started talking at once and I began to get a headache. "Enough!" They silenced immediately and I sighed, flinching when my lip began to throb. Seamus's eyes were full of regret and fear, the anger slowly leaving them. Draco was just mad, the fire in his eyes blazing, his body tense and ready for action. "What happened Draco?" He took a deep breath......and began.
(Draco's P.O.V.)
I was so pissed it wasn't even funny. Seamus had the guts to bad mouth Harry and bad mouth me right to my face. He also HIT Harry! *He's going to pay for that, accidental or not.* I began at the beginning; "I was talking to Ron and Hermione and in the middle of the conversation Seamus began bad mouthing me. I just ignored him but when he began to talk shit about you I lost control and hit him. We then started a full-blown-fight." Harry nodded and rubbed his temples. "I'm really sorry." Seamus said tightly. I scoffed and he threw me a look. I shrugged and looked over to see Harry closing his eyes and sitting down in an armchair with a grimace. My heart contracted painfully when I looked at his open lip, blood lightly flowing out of it and dribbling down his chin. It hurt me so much more than he could ever know.
(Harry's P.O.V.)
"It's fine Seamus. I interfered and you hit me; it was an accident. No problem. I want you both to apologize. Now." I said this in a firm voice, barely above a whisper, because I was trying not to move my lip much or trigger my major headache. They both muttered to each other and when they finished I opened my eyes to fix Draco with a harsh look, causing him to shrink back a bit. I wasn't mad at him, I was mad because of what he did.*I can't believe he did something so stupid! He could have been seriously hurt! Is he mental?!*I didn't look away from him as I said, "You can go Seamus." He quickly got up and ran back upstairs. As soon as he was gone Draco began to apologize but I hushed him and got up to kneel in front of him. I knelt between his legs and lifted his face with my hands. He avoided my gaze and took a shaky breath. "Look at me." He tentively looked me in the eyes and my gaze softened as I smiled. He looked confused. "What the hell were you thinking? You could have been seriously hurt. Don't ever make me worry like that again. Do you hear me Draco?" He nodded and I pulled him down into a tight hug. He hugged back and I sighed before pulling away. "Are you okay?" He frowned and his eyes flashed with sadness as he brushed my lower lip with his thumb and I flinched in pain. "Just a view minor injuries; cuts, bruises, small little things like that. I'm fine. I promise." I nodded and tried to smile but it hurt too much. "I'm so sorry, love. If I hadn't started the fight then you never would have been hurt." I chuckled and shook my head. "It's fine. Just a scratch." He bent down and gently licked the wound on my lower lip. I shuddered as he licked his way down to my chin, cleaning off all the blood on my face. He wiped his saliva off and kissed me softly on the lips, just lingering there for a moment and not making any movement, before pulling away and brushing his thumb over my cheek. "I.....I need to tell you something." I tilted my head in confusion and curiosity. "Okay." He looked me in the eyes and said three words I had only ever dreamed of hearing him say; "I love you." I completely blanked. My body felt numb but my mind was screaming, *HE LOVES ME!!!!!* I tackled him to the floor and kissed him on the lips, pulling away when air was needed and saying breathlessly, "I love you too." His face lit up and he hugged me tightly against his chest, not even bothering to move from his position on the floor. I laid my head on his chest and breathed in his sweet scent; musk and a slight hint of peppermint. I hummed low in my throat and he tightened his grip a little. After a few minutes of comfortable silence I said softly, "I'm hungry." He laughed and we got up to leave but I stopped him with a smirk. He raised an eyebrow. "What?" I chuckled and pointed at him while saying, "Your not going out like that, are you? Because if you do then everybody's going to think I'm an abusive boyfriend." He blushed and shook his head. I smiled and pulled him upstairs to my room and laid down on my bed. "You can take a shower while I clean your clothes and when your done we'll leave." He stared at me for a minute before rushing off to the bathroom, shutting the door gently behind him.
(Draco's P.O.V.)
I shook my head in an attempt to rid myself of the very sexual things that Harry's position had produced as I stripped down, leaving my clothes where they dropped, and stepped into the shower, turning on the water and washing my hair with some lavender soap. *He has lavender and cherry. He always smells like fresh cherries. Delicious.* I started to get a hard-on but I controlled myself with a sigh. As I was rinsing off I heard the door open and someone padding forward. "It's Harry. I'm just getting your clothes. Sorry." I heard him grunt a bit and then the door shutting loudly. I blushed and stepped out of the shower, grabbing a towel, and wrapping it around my waist as I made my way back into the bedroom; the first thing I saw was a pile of perfect-looking Slytherin robes but as I looked around, what I saw made me gasp. My jaw dropped, my eyes bulged, and I became beet red. *OH.....MY.....GOD!*
(Harry's P.O.V.)
I heard a faint gasp and whirled around to find Draco standing in the doorway; wearing a towel, a very small one at that, and dripping wet. His eyes were wide, his mouth was gapping, and his face was red. I probably looked just like him except for the fact that I was dry and NAKED! He quickly grabbed his clothes and retreated to the bathroom, slamming the door, hard. I got dressed and put my wand in my pocket before timidly knocking on the door. "Draco?" I whispered shyly. *He saw me NAKED!*
(Draco's P.O.V.)
I tried to regulate my breathing as I sat on the counter, fully dressed, and with a painful erection. I heard Harry knock and then whisper, "Draco?" I sighed dreamily. *He's the most gorgeous creature I've ever seen!* I heard the door open and looked over to see Harry come in and gently close it before coming over to hop up and sit next to me on the counter. I broke the tense silence. "I'm sorry Harry." He nodded and a small smirk appeared on his face. "You know what this means, right?" I shook my head. "What?" He looked me in the eye and grinned; eyes dancing with many emotions: mischief, lust, love, and happiness. I gulped and he leaned over to whisper hotly in my ear. "Payback, Draco." He flicked my earlobe with his tongue and I gasped. He left burning kisses all the way from my ear to my collarbone as I struggled to keep an iron grip on my control. "Hm. I like teasing you. It's fun and," He paused to skim his hand over the buldge in my pants; I bucked my hips and groaned. "Arousing. Sadly, we only have 30 minutes to eat and I'm hungry. I guess I'll meet you in the Great Hall." He casually walked out of the bathroom, leaving me shocked and hungry for more. I gulped and 'relieved' myself before running down to meet Harry at the entrance to the Great Hall.
(Harry's P.O.V.)
I paced back and forth in front of the Great hall, mentally beating myself up. *Oh God. What came over me?! He sees me naked, I see him in a towel, and I tease him?! He looked so beautiful as I stared at him earlier and it took all of my control to keep from ravishing him then and there.* I groaned quietly but a small smile graced my lips as Draco strolled casually into view, smirking his famous smirk. I blushed as he took my hand and we made or way to the Slytherin table. "Draco! What are you doing?!" He grinned and made me sit down. "You promised, love." I wiggled my nose, causing him to laugh, and we began eating. We ignored everyone else but when we were in the middle of a conversation, someone coughed. We look up to see a young girl that resembled Barbie, sneering down at us. She sat across from us and Draco raised a perfectly arched, blond eyebrow. "Yes?" "I'm Jesika. I just wanted to know why a Gryffindor is seated at the Slytherin table." She obviously didn't know so Draco rolled his eyes and told her, "This is Harry. He's my boyfriend. I wanted him to sit here, is that a crime?" She literally choked on air and her eyes bulged. I held back giggles, Draco's lips twitched, and she glared. I buried my head in Draco's shoulder, my eyes watering with my effort to keep my mouth closed. The whole table watched as Draco wrapped his arm around my waist and grinned down at me. "Having some trouble, love?" I shook my head and controlled myself before pulling away and wiping the tears from my eyes. "Ah. I'm good." He chuckled and pulled me closer to his side as I got comfortable; I held his free hand in mine on his lap, rubbing it absently with my thumb, and leaned my head against his chest. The girl finally calmed down and screeched, "Boyfriend?!" We nodded in union and her eyes narrowed. *Not again. I love kissing him but not for this.* I knew what was coming next and sighed, making Draco smirk. "Prove it." The whole table was now at attention, waiting for our next move. Draco raised an eyebrow down at me and I shrugged. "Go on then." She said smugly with a smirk. I pulled Draco's head down and crashed my lips against his. He rubbed my tongue with his own as I opened my mouth. We began to fight for dominance but were interrupted. "Blimey!" We broke apart and grinned. Jesika looked green as she ran away. All the Slytherin were frozen in shock. We finished eating and found Ron and Hermione waiting in the hall. "Hey guys." I greeted them and felt Draco slide a strong arm around my waist while I wasn't paying attention. I jumped and he grinned when I glared at him. "You like scaring me. don't you?" He laughed. "Sorry, love." I blushed and grumbled a bit as we entered the Gryffindor Common Room.
(Draco's P.O.V.)
Harry laughed a little when he saw my shocked face as people started talking to me and trying to get my attention, pulling me over to the couch. I sat down and tugged him forward, causing him to fall onto the couch. He laughed and laid down, resting his head in my lap as I raked my fingers through his silky brown locks. "Hi Harry. Hi Draco." Neville sat in the armchair across from us and grinned. "Hi Neville." "Hey." Harry yawned a bit and blushed. "Tired, love?" He nodded sheepishly and got up. "I'm going to bed. Are you coming or staying down here?" I kissed him lightly, smiling. "I'll be up in a bit. He blushed and shrugged, trudging merrily to the offly comforts of his bed. I watched him leave before turning to Neville once more. "Do you know when Harry's birthday is?" "October 17th." I smiled. "Thanks." I got up and made my way upstairs.
(Harry's P.O.V.)
I removed my clothes, leaving me in my underwear, and slipped under the covers. I smiled as Draco came in, being extra quiet because of my sleeping roommates, and made his way over to the bed. He stripped down to his boxers and turned out the lamp as he climbed under the covers with me before wrapping his arms securely around my waist, nuzzling his nose into my hair as I cuddled closely to his chest. I laid my ear over his heart and smiled softly while listening to its irregular pattern. I closed my eyes and sighed in contentment. "I love you Draco." He kissed my head. "I love you too Harry .Good night, love." I kissed his chest. "Night."
(Draco's P.O.V.)
I woke up the next morning to see Ron jumping on the foot of the bed. "Wake up you lovebirds! We have potions in 45 minutes!" I heard Harry groan as he buried his head into the crook of my neck. "Come on, love." He mumbled something incoherent and shook his head. I smirked. "Fine then. You don't get a morning kiss." He was out of bed and getting dressed before I could blink. I felt empty without him in my arms so I followed suit and got dressed. Harry scowled at me and I grinned. "A little impatient?" I pulled him into a gentle kiss, lightly stroking his tongue, before pulling away and smiling at the blushing brunette. "Come on." He grabbed his books and we saw mine on the table next to his. He was just as confused as I was but then smiled. "Hermione." I smiled and nodded before grabbing my books and lacing my fingers with his. He blushed and we made our way to the dungeons.
