Chapter 2: Secret, Secret I got a Secret

By dinner time Harry had talked himself into a depressive slump; his whole house was still talking about the missing points. Pushing the food around his plate Harry looked up across the great hall and looked at the blonde who was looking up at the same moment. When their eyes met both teens felt slightly better. Getting up from his seat Harry slipped out of the great hall and bolted at top speed to his dorm where he grabbed his broom and moved like a cat as he made it down to the front door and made it outside where the cool air hit his face.

"I was wondering how long you were going to take getting out here" Draco said from the shadows holding his broom as well. Walking over to Harry he smirked a bit and pulled the other teen into the shadows and kissed him for a few minutes before pulling away and leaving the other boy breathless. "We should hurry and get our nightly flight in before we're caught and loose even more house points" the blonde said mounting his broom and taking off towards the Quidditch pitch down by the lake.

Mounting his own broom Harry flew after the blonde and finally caught up to Draco, as the two circled the pitch they enjoyed the feeling of the roar of the wind in their ears as they flew like birds. Slowing down so they were hovering Harry moved closer to Draco and looked at him.

"You are really one of a kind, you're the only one who worships the ground I walk on not because I'm Harry Potter but because I'm good at what I do" Harry said with a smirk on his face.

Draco laughed and rolled his eyes "You just keep telling yourself that, especially if it helps you perform." The blonde quipped as he leaned over and kissed the other teen as they floated in the air.

Harry finally pulled away first "we should go in soon before Snape catches us out here and takes away more points from me" he remarked as he began his decent to the ground below. The blonde soon followed with a smirk on his lips. "I'm more worried he's going to let it slip to my father that he caught us doing what we were doing today" he said blushing at the thought of Harry and him in the potion class room.

As the two teens headed back up to the castle they talked about how mad Snape was for their defiling his classroom. Both were chuckling at the memory and the feeling of doing something so wrong and get caught.

"I truly thought that over grown bat was going to keel over when he started yelling at us" Harry said as he walked backwards up the hill to the castle. As he walked, he felt that he walked into something or someone. Looking at Draco he saw the blonde go pale.

"So I'm an overgrown bat am I?" Snape asked with a sickening smirk on his lips. Harry wanted to whimper at how stupid he was to say such things out loud. Turning around the raven haired Gryffindor looked up at his professor and swallowed hard.

Snape's hand shot out like a snake and grabbed Harry by the arm. "Now I finally have you, you're going to be expelled from this school forever.' Snape laughed out as he dragged the teen up toward the castle doors that were spilling the golden torch light over the dark steps and grass.

Draco sighed and trudged behind Harry and Snape. He had gotten in trouble twice in one day; he kept his eyes on Harry as the potion master dragged the teen up the stairs to Dumbledore's office.

"Oh we're going to get expelled" Draco whimpered as he kept close to Harry as he held onto his broom handle, his other hand gripping onto Harry's cloak tightly as they went up the moving staircase into Dumbledore's office with the potion master.

The office gave off a peaceful and calming feeling that both teens when both sighed at the calmness around them Snape cleared his throat scaring both boys back into submission.

"Severus my dear boy what brings you up here so late?" Dumbledore asked smiling at the teens who were practically cowering beside each other.

Grabbing Harry by the shoulder Severus pulled him forward "Not counting this morning Potter has broken at least fifty school rules and has forced me to take all of Gryffindor's house points away. And I just caught both of them again breaking the rules by flying around the pitch during non- flight hours. I feel that Potter is a bad influence and should be expelled." Severus announced looking at the boy who lived.

Dumbledore laughed softly "Severus, my dear boy you must give up this personal vendetta against Harry, now tell me what has he done that is so awful to warrant his expulsion from school." The aged wizard remarked at his former student.

Snape's face paled as he cleared his throat and composed himself. "They were snogging on a desk in my classroom and Potter thinks that the detention I gave him wasn't enough, and I was forced to take away the rest of his house points and some from my own house." He said taking a deep breath. "I know that you will see fit to expel Potter" he said looking at the headmaster.

The wise headmaster looked at his former student and laughed softly "Your quite amusing Severus, but snogging as you say in the class room is not that serious as long as they aren't doing it during your class then I will not being expelling anyone tonight, in fact I remember being in the same position you two are in… oh I remember all the times we got caught, the hot snogging by the common room fire and the occasional shag in the closets. Good times." Dumbledore said as he busied himself with some sweets.

Harry, Draco and Severus all paled at the thoughts that had invaded their minds and shiver ran down their thoughts at the metal images.

Severus cleared his throat "I must be going sir, I suspect you will speak with these two trouble makers and make sure I never have to witness that again for as long as I live." The man said turning on his heel and leaving before the headmaster could answer.

Dumbledore smiled at the teens "I'm sure you two have learned your lesson for the evening and I'm sure Severus has as well. Now off to bed you two before someone else catches you two wandering in the halls." The headmaster remarked as he winked at the two.

As Harry and Draco left they didn't look back, when they reached the bottom of the staircase they started to laugh at the image in their mind. "We've had enough adventure for one night… and images in our minds that will haunt us forever…" Draco said quietly.

Nodding his head Harry sighed "Well my corridor is down this way, I'll see you at breakfast tomorrow." He said giving Draco a quick kiss before slipping off and going to the painting of the fat lady. Mumbling the password he slipped into the common room and trudged up the stairs to his dorm. When he pushed the door open every boy in the Gryffindor house was waiting for him.

A boy two years older than Harry, whose first name eluded Harry, his surname was Reins standing at the front of the others; Harry knew that he was in charge. "We figured it out Potter, you're the one who lost us all the house points…you're the only one who hasn't proven they weren't the one who lost the points." He said pushing his dirty blond hair out of his eyes. Reaching into his robes he grabbed a small crystal bottle. "Everyone here and all the girls have take one drop and spilled the truth. Now you're the only one left… now you can do this the easy way or the hard way" Rutgers said nodding to the two boys that had moved in behind Harry.

Harry looked around and sighed "just get it over with" he said holding his hand out for the bottle, when he got it he put two drops on his tongue.

"Where were you and what were you doing when you got caught?" Rutger asked looking at Harry as he stood in the middle of the circle.

Harry could feel the truth serum working right away, on the inside he was glad it wasn't a direct question "I was in Snape's classroom and I was snogging someone and Snape walked in and caught us." Harry responded not taking his eyes off of the teen in front of him. The boys in the room congratulated him and whooped in laughter at the thought of Snape seeing Harry with some girl.

"Was it that girl your always with? Or another girl from this house" a boy in the back yelled?

"No it's not Hermione and it's not a girl from Griffindor" Harry responded, he was getting worried about how personal the questions were getting.

"Well then what house are they from?" another voice called from behind the first circle of boys. It sounded like a first or second year that had the unfortunate luck to be stuck behind older boys.

"Slytherin" Harry answered his cheeks turning red in his mind he was screaming that he hoped no one would ask who it was that he was snogging though he knew that question was running through every mind in the room.

Rutger smirked "I'm not going to ask the obvious question everyone is thinking right now, even though I know everyone is dying to know. What I want to know is where you were between the end of dinner and right before you were walked in this door?" he asked crossing his arms over his chest. Most of the boys nodded their heads and repeated the same question till the room was filled with overlapping voices.

Harry looked around the room once "I was outside at the Quidditch pitch and then I got caught by Snape again and taken to Dumbledore's office then I came here" he responded letting out a small breath.

The boys around the room began to whisper to each other like Harry was on trial and they were the judges and jury. The raven haired teen became nervous he didn't know when the next question was coming. In his mind he begged for this to end quickly before anyone asked him the dreaded question of who he had been with in Snape's classroom. It was in that moment of silence that Harry noticed the dorm room had been charmed to be big enough to allow every boy in with room to spare.

Dean who was to Harry's left looked at his friend. "Being outside alone is boring when you're riding around, were you with anyone other than when Snape caught you?" he questioned. More chatter began to fill the room as everyone once again began to wonder the same thing.

Harry gave a sigh of relief "Malfoy, he followed me out and challenged me to a race around the pitch and that's when we got caught."

William Rutger smirked and uncrossed his arms for a moment and stretched them over his head. "Only a few more questions Harry, like, what year is your secret lover in? Are they on the Quidditch team, do ask you anything about our team like what our game tactics are for the games? And finally who is this secret Slytherin?" he asked, all the boys in the room went dead silent as they listened to Harry's responses.

The teen looked around the room and tried to hold the answers back, as he struggled against the potion he took he closed his eyes and wished that it was only a dream and that everyone would go away, when he opened his eyes he saw they were still there and the words were forcing their way out of his mouth.

"They are in the same year as me sixth, yes they are on the Quidditch team as well, no they never as ask me for anything about the team or what our moves are for the games at all. We have a much deeper understanding than that. And finally the last answer is…" Harry stopped speaking and smirked his wordy answers had allowed him to beat the serum and it had worn off in time to keep his secret safe for another day.

Harry looked around at all the other boys around him and smirked "You found out why so why do you really need to know who?" he asked them as he made his way through the crowd toward his bed. " Do you mind I would like to go to bed now" he remarked as he watched the boys from the other years file out of his dorm room leaving him and his roommates alone.

"Sorry mate we just really needed to know who lost us all those points is all" Ron said as he started to get ready for bed as well. Smiling, Harry looked out the window at the night sky and shrugged his shoulders "It's all right, just as long as you all respect that I told you and you don't need to know any more." He said climbing into bed and removing his glasses. I never would have heard the end of it if they knew the truth. Harry thought closing his eyes and drifting off into sleep.
