Note from the author: I'm not really sure how long I want to make this story but I was sitting in my room when a Fluff filled seen of Harry and Draco came into my head and I needed a story so I could tell you all! But it might come along a more bit into the story cause it was really hot~ lol
Preface
"There's not much we can do now, Albus. He's just not safe in the Gryffindor dorms anymore, he was almost killed!" an unnerved Professor McGonagall said, walking quickly towards the headmaster's desk.
"I understand the circumstances, Minerva." Professor Dumbledore said as he paused to get up from his desk, moving toward a large black stone cabinet full to burst with interesting little nick-knacks and magical toys that flew in different directions when he opened the door. He started rummaging through them intently. "But what do you suggest we do?" He glanced at her knowingly, and turned back, moving his hands smoothly, searching through the cluttered shelves.
"We move him somewhere safe; somewhere in the castle where people can't find him—" Professor McGonagall started.
"Exactly, somewhere no one would expect him to be." Dumbledore cut in with a devious glint in his eye. He had known she was thinking this and had already formed a plan in his head. "Draco Malfoy has been cast out by the Slytherins and there have been many death threats towards him since he switched sides, is that correct?" He asked suddenly, smiling slightly at the surprised look that took over McGonagall's face.
"A-ah yes, there has be— I believe so…" She said uncertainly.
"They should live somewhere no one would expect them to be… Maybe that room would work out well… Ah! Here it is!" He said finally, pulling a small, dark blue fluttering toy bird out of the shelf.
"Wait, them? You don't mean—" She gasped.
"Yes, this is the best we can do at the moment…" Dumbledore smiled an old friendly smile at Professor McGonagall's cod fish expression. He brought the small bird to his lips and whispered to it. The bird nodded slightly and flapped its wings once before disappearing out of the office door.
Chapter 1: Getting use to things…
"Harry, are you sure you're alright?" Hermione whispered, looking at him with a worried expression that had been planted on her face since Harry had been attacked by a young, eager Death Eater trying to prove himself.
"Yeah mate," Ron chimed in, taking a breather from stuffing his face to join in the conversation. "You haven't taken one bite of your food…"
He gestured toward Harry's untouched plate of delicious looking mashed potatoes, chicken, and salad. Compared to his own dissolved mess of whatever food was in arms length that was smeared over his plate as if he shoved his face in it. "Yeah guys I'm fine, I just had a lot of things on my mind…" Harry said before taking a bite of chicken. Realizing how hungry he was, Harry eagerly started dismantling the meal in front of him.
Across the hall alone, about three feet distanced from the rest of his house, Draco sat staring intently at his rival. This is not what he had wanted. He thought that by switching sides, even though he had done it so he could fight for the freedom of the Wizarding world and so on, he had thought that, that would have Potter treating him normally or possibly acknowledge his existence, or at least yell at him about being a traitor and giving away information to You-Know-Who.
However that's not the case; here he sat alone staring down the happily eating raven-haired boy, being completely ignored… I mean, what did he have to do? Jump up and down on the table yelling 'Harry! Over here! Notice me! I joined your side! Don't ignore me! Okay?' it was bloody embarrassing that he actually considered doing that, well in a different, less embarrassing way like going up to Potter and asking why he was ignoring him. Utterly pathetic. But what could he do? The blond sighed and poked at his food with a fork, no intension of eating crossed his mind.
The Great Hall door opened slightly letting a small dark blue bird slip in. It looked around for a second before duplicating and sending one bird toward the Gryffindor table and the other toward the Slytherins.
Harry and Draco both got up a second later and started walking toward the Great Hall exit, they froze when they saw each other, then after a few seconds, causally walked out the doors together. After a minuet of walking in the same direction, Harry rounded on Draco.
"What do you want?" he asked hotly, Draco raised his eyebrows.
"Nothing, could it be that we were just walking in the same direction? Or does everything need to revolve around you Potter." Draco said icily before he could think; damn he should try to be nicer. Harry glared for an intense second before turning and walking away. Draco's heart ached a bit as he watched Harry walk away then thought, what the hell, and ran to catch up with the boy.
A second of silence passed before Draco spoke up, "So where are you headed?" He asked nicely. Harry's whole body froze in shock, 'Malfoy's never talked casually with him...' He thought then shook it off and answered.
"Why would you care?" He asked hotly.
"Oh, you know the usual mild curiosity and small conversation starter." Draco answered smoothly, not showing the over whelming spark of happiness that floated through him having Harry's full attention. He smiled inwardly to himself. Harry saw the smile and instantly smiled back finding Slytherin's smile irresistible. Draco's heart flipped over five, seven times at the beautiful full teeth smile Harry was giving him; the blond flushed red and looked toward the ground, his hands clenched by his sides, must resist all urges even the unexplained ones.
Harry on the other hand was feeling very foolish, smiling at someone who was looking at the ground and could not see him smiling and what's more smiling at his enemy. He sighed and Draco looked back up at him, slowly releasing his tension.
Harry looked forward up the hall, "I'm going to the Headmasters office; a small blue bird told me he wanted to see me…" He answered calmly and looked at Draco who was gaping at him. "What?" the green-eyed boy asked.
"Ah! Me too, the same thing. I was called to the Headmaster's Office by a small dark blue bird," He answered slowly.
"I wonder what he wants to talk to us about…" Harry said quietly.
"Good evening gentlemen." A thin high voice came from in front of them making both boys jump. Professor McGonagall stood by a large stone gargoyle, "This way please." She gestured to the gargoyle and both Harry and Draco walked awkwardly into the small space. "Dragon Tea." Professor McGonagall said seriously and then stairs appeared. Harry and Draco looked at each other before walking up.
They nervously stepped towards the large door to the headmaster's office. The door was fifteen feet tall giving you the feeling of looking at the horizon when you stared straight up at it; the door was a dark cherry color and had gold vines tracing up both sides joining at the top and curving back down to make the handles. Harry stepped forward, a hand gripping the golden leaves that made up the handle and pushed the door open slowly. The boys took a breath and stepped in.
"Ah, there you are," said a gentle voice. "Please come and take a seat." Professor Dumbledore said gesturing toward the two comfortable looking indigo armchairs in front of his large, somewhat cluttered dark chocolate brown desk. They moved forward uncertainly, Harry taking the left chair, leaving Draco to take the right and a joyful looking old man in the middle beaming at them from behind his desk.
"Truffle?" he asked gliding his hands, like a model showing off a new car, over a small bowl of hazelnut chocolate truffles.
"Ah, no thanks," Harry answered quietly. Draco reached out, unable to resist the sweet temptation, and grabbed one.
"Ok I'll just get to the point," Dumbledore said in business like tone. "Harry, you were attacked and Draco, there's a high chance you might be as well.
"Now for your safety we would like you two to move to a hidden location in the school. The location changes every once and a who knows, but that won't really apply to you of course." He pause waiting for the situation to hit them. It hadn't, so he went on. "You'll wear these necklaces; you won't feel them and their impossible to get off. They'll allow you both," He emphasized the word to make them realize what he was saying.
"To transport you to your room no matter where you are, all you need to stay is—"
"Wait! Professor Dumbledore, are you saying that we, as in me and him, are GOING TO BE ROOMATES?!" Harry said in alarm. Draco's breath caught in his throat, 'Can this be real?'He thought in awe, his face clear of all emotion. 'Finally…'Dumbledore sighed in relief.
"Exactly, now please listen closely because this is impor—"
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" Harry yelled in frustration.
"Harry please calm down, it's for your own safety…" Dumbledore said quietly, "Please listen because what I need to tell you is very,very important." He looked at Harry, who was slowly calming down. Harry smiled sheepishly over to Draco, in a 'didn't mean to offend' way; Draco blushed a little with a quick smile back, then looked towards Dumbledore, trying to hide his face.
"Okay, now to go to your room all you need to say is,'Love, I'm home', and another—"
Harry burst in, jumping out of his chair.
"What! LOVE I'M HOME?! That is WAY too embarrassing! That would be so awkward to say in the hall—"
"Now Harry I'm sorry, but when the words have been chosen there is no changing them." Dumbledore said calmly and started again once Harry was back in his chair.
"Then to get out, all you need to do is say wherever it is you want to go, as long as it's not a house dorm. Alright this is also important; don't tell anyone where you're living, how you get there, or who you're living with." Harry looked like he was about to interrupt again so Dumbledore said quickly, "We will tell your houses that you have been moved out for your safety. And if you would like, you may take your meals in your new drom." Harry and Draco sighed in relief.
"Now I'm sure you've had an interesting day and would love to get to bed. Remember, you are to move in immediately; No going to your old dorms, everything was already moved to your new room. Good Night gentlemen." He said happily to them. They stood up, Draco grabbed two truffles popping one into his mouth with a happy sigh and handing the other to Harry, who happily accepted.
Walking out of the stone gargoyle, realizing they didn't get their necklaces' they turned to go back, only to find them firmly on their necks. Harry looked toward the blond, who nodded and they both whispered,"Love, I'm home." and disappeared.
Draco's eyes were tightly closed leaving his ears wide open when Harry's voice filled them.
"Wah! This place is awesome!" he exclaimed. Draco peeked one eye open and found himself gaping at the room, not that he wasn't use to big rooms, it was just even the dining hall in Malfoy Manner wasn't near this classy.
There were two rooms connected by two steps that lead to a large opening in the wall that had a silk black curtain that could separate the two rooms, but now two large white gold ivy rings held it back. The smaller of the two rooms was the study; it had one large dark cherry couch and a small cream armchair in front of a black stone fireplace. The floor was marble and the walls were a wine red, with four black book shelves placed around the room. Two tables, one was a long oak table with two chairs for studying, and the other was dark red circle table with two small black chairs for meals, probably. The second and larger room was the bedroom; it had two twin beds place next to each other but in an opposite angles, one dark ruby red, and the other emerald green, they were both draped in a white canapé. The walls were black and the floors a dark red wood. In addition to the room, there was a small white door that led to a large white tiled bathroom. (Sorry it's so long I wanted it in detail damn it!)
Harry yawned and went to the bathroom to change and brush his teeth. Draco took in a deep breath, inhaling the new room and the change. 'We at least', he thought, 'he won't be able to completely ignore me anymore…' Walking up the steps, Draco went over to the dark green bed where a large dark brown chest had just appeared in front of it; the blond pulled out some pajamas and waited for Harry to be done in the bathroom. 'This is going to take some getting use to…'
End of Chapter One
Please review what you think and criticize my writing, because no one I know is interested in Harry Draco love, and if I write that's all I want to write about so I have to learn some way and would be happy if you helped me get better!
