Harry Potter,
I wish to invite you to visit with my family over the holidays. In the past we have not got along but I would like to that behind us. I understand that you might with to go elsewhere for the actual time of Christmas, but I would be most gratified if you'd be willing to visit with my family either before or after. I have changed and promise not to harm you in any way while you are here. I am willing to allow Aruros to be sent along with you for protection. Please send a reply.
Lucius Malfoy
Minister of Magic
"What do you think of it?" Harry asked his head of house that had been temporarily promoted to Headmistress.
"It seems safe enough." She commented looking over the expensive piece of parchment. "Are you actually considering going?" Harry grinned and nodded.
"I have always wanted to see the inside of Malfoy's Manor. How much Malfoy talked about it, it has to be fantastic."
"From what I've heard it is quite lovely. But I am going to take him up on sending Aruros. Are you going to be staying anywhere else during the holiday?"
"Ron invited me to go with his family. I want to go there for a while. Maybe I could go to the Malfoy's a few days after Christmas?"
"Yes, that should be fine. So why don't you spend the first two weeks with the Weasley's and then spend the last one with the Malfoy's?" Harry nodded grinning. "What's funny Harry?"
"Think how much it's going to piss Draco off."
"I thought you two were becoming friends?" Professor McGonagll said slightly startled.
"I was trying before the Silence article came out. He hadn't been warming up to me at all though. I'd only just gotten him to tolerate me.
"All right, well you may go now Harry." Professor McGonagll said, "Tell me if anything else comes up."
"Of course." Harry nodded walking calmly out of the room and down to the Slytherin common room. Silence walked through the room and fell into the couch next to Draco.
"Get any letters from your father recently?" Silence asked pulling Draco towards him.
"No, why?" Draco asked leaning back into Silence.
"He invited me to go over to your house over the holidays."
"Really?"
"Yeah, McGonagll said it would be okay. But your father will get the joy of hosting Aruros."
"That wont be to bad. Most of them like him now anyway."
"Good." Silence nuzzled into Draco's neck kissing if. He grinned at the mark still lying on Draco's neck from the day before.
"No more." Draco said as Silence kept playing with his neck. "Those marks are unsavory. The only reason that one is still there is because you have been so possessive."
"Sorry."Silence mumbled kissing Draco lightly trailing his fingers under Draco's shirt up across his smooth toned chest.
"He's going to kill me I know it." Silence heard the portrait hole open and admit Semus and Blaise. Madame Pomfrey had forced Blaise to spend the night in the hospital wing. He had only just got free.
"Don't worry Blaise. He knows it wasn't your fault." Draco took Silence's hands off of him.
"What are you doing?" Silence asked.
"You have to talk to him."
"I know." Silence sighed. Draco let go of one of Silence's hands playing with he fingers of the other.
"Yeah, but he was the reason I was in the room."
"He mentioned that. But why?" Seamus asked. The two came upon Silence and Draco lying on the couch and Silence motioned to the couch across from them.
"Sit." Blaise looked at Silence skeptically but sat as Seamus pulled him back. Silence simply stared at Blaise. Blaise shifted nervously under the unrelenting gaze.
"Stop it Har.. Silence." Draco ordered elbowing Silence in the stomach.
"Nice slip there Draco." Silence grumbled.
"So then you really are…"
"You might want to wait and finish that question when we aren't surrounded by other people." Silence warned. He looked at Seamus with an eyebrow raised puzzled.
"Stop it please." Seamus said uncomfortably as Blaise tensed.
"Fine, yes I am who you're thinking. And I wont kill you." Silence added as an afterthought.
"What are you going to do then? You weren't simply going to smile and say good guess."
"No, I wouldn't have but, I think thought that she scared you enough." Harry watched Seamus who was looking very uncomfortable. Harry decided to ask him about Blaise's oddness later as he seemed to know something, and went along with him re-finding out Harry was Silence.
"Who was that?" Blaise asked curiously.
"Yes, who?" Seamus asked angrily.
"Well let's go aand see." Silence grinned standing up and walking out of the common room. he shread his Silence disquise as they walked down the hall.
"Why did you do that?" Draco asked.
"With Silence being in the papers it wouldn't do for him to be wandering around Hogwarts would it?" Draco rolled his eyes.
"How far away did you put her?" Draco asked.
"Not far."
"...and then I told him I needed a hundred gallons. I mean how can I look my best with daddy not giving the funds that I need?" Pansy Parkinson rounded the corner along with several other girls; most Slytherin's but she had a few Ravenclaw's with her as well. "Oh, hi Draco, Blaise. And what are those two doing here?" she asked looking from Seamus to Harry.
"We were just taking them to the entrance hall. Seems they got lost." Draco informed her innocently.
"But the entrance hall isn't in that direction?"
"Of course it is Pansy." Draco said with a deadly smile, "didn't you know?"
"Huh?" Draco nodded slightly towards the Gryffindor's. "Oh, silly me. I forgot." she said over the top. She winked a very exaggerated obvious wink as she walked past.
"You dated her?" Harry asked incredulously.
"It was for show." Draco shrugged. Harry grinned walking off again.
"You changed." Blaise announced shocked.
"I said I could."
"Yeah, but without a wand or potion or anything."
"Its easier that way." Harry grinned shaking his head.
"Its just weird."
"I don't understand why she acted that way." Seamus muttered.
"Who? There is more then one girl in this school." Draco informed him.
"Thanks for the news flash. I meant Pansy. Hasn't she noticed me with Blaise in the common room?"
"She's insane. Who cares?" Draco asked. Seamus shrugged.
"We're here." Harry grinned. He took the silencing charm of off the door and heard banging and girlish screams and crying. Harry opened the door to a petite blonde Hufflepuff girl named Lindsey Kennison scooting away from the door. She looked down at herself and ran her fingers through her hair looking up at the four boys in shock.
"My my my, what have we here?" Harry asked smirking at the girl on the ground.
"Harry?" she asked confused.
"Good job. And who's this?" Harry asked condescendingly pulling Draco towards him.
"Malfoy." The girl spat. Harry was on her in a second wand pointed at her head.
"You might not want to talk about Draco unless it's with respect." Harry hissed kicking the naked girl still lying on the ground in the ribs.
"Are you finished yet Harry? You're not the only one who wants to inform this girl about what she's not allowed to do." Seamus said agitated.
"Hang on Seamus. I just have to ask this lovely woman something." Harry's had flew up and a spell fell from his lips, the girl went still eyes glazed over. "Why did you screw Blaise as Draco?"
"Dumbledore told me too. I wasn't supposed to be Malfoy. He wanted me as you, but I turned into Draco after I used the hair from you're bed. He said you were Silence and now I know it's true."
"How little girl?" Harry questioned.
"Because you're the one who attacked me and brought me here."
"So you possibly ruined two relationships for Dumbledore?"
"Only Draco and Silence."
"Seamus and I don't count?" Blaise snapped.
"I didn't realize." She said blandly.
"Of course not." Seamus said grabbing the girl by her hair and banging her into the wall of the small room. "Stupid bitch." He kicked her causing her to double over in pain.
"Stop Seamus." Harry ordered after a few minutes. Seamus looked up at Harry shocked.
"You have to be kidding."
"No. You don't want to kill her."
"Oh, I just might."
"Stop it." Blaise said looking at the blonde on the floor coughing up blood.
"Go, calm down." Harry ordered pointing to the door. Seamus scowled at him but left behind Blaise. Harry waved his hand at the two as they were grumbling off.
"All right Harry who is she really?"
"What do you mean?" Harry asked acting confused.
"Don't play stupid Potter. They might not have remembered, but the real Lindsey was with the pack surrounding Pansy." Harry nodded and the girl long on the floor changed. "Granger." Draco hissed at the bushy haired Gryffindor on the floor. "The bloody bitch!" he growled.
"Calm down, or we'll have to come back later." Draco nodded tight lipped.
"How the hell are you calm?"
"I knew she was the one since it happened. I've been able to get over it. Besides it didn't surprise me too much, she's been acting suspicious for a while."
"Some friend you've got there." Harry grinned and snapped his fingers. Hermione came to, healed on the floor.
"What? Harry?" She said wide eyed. She looked at herself and finding no injuries seemed relived.
"Draco do you know how to cast the Imperius curse?" Harry asked conversationally.
"Why yes I do." Draco grinned pulling out his wand. Hermione's head snapped to Draco with fright. "Well then if you'd be so kind as the practice on our Hermione here?" Harry grinned. Draco leveled his wand, "Imperio." He muttered casting the unforgivable on her.
"You were fucking some random boy, none of us, and he knocked you out and left you here." Harry informed the brain dead girl gripping her head and planting the memory. "Draco I want her to act as she normally would. She'll do it without you needing to think of it all the time."
"Harry I don't want to keep he control on her, I won't be able to not take advantage to it."
"All right." Harry agreed. He grabbed Draco's arm and transferred the spell onto himself.
"I have to say one thing about Voldemort." Harry informed Draco. "He was a wonderful wizard. I wouldn't know half of what I do without him." Draco chuckled as the left the room.
"Sure Potter. I know just as everyone he never took time to train you."
"Well of course he did. Do you think I just woke up knowing every curse and spell I do?"
"Then when did he train you? He was always doing something every waking moment. When did he squeeze you in?"
"I never said he was awake for it." Harry said tapping his forehead. "You'd be surprised how much you can learn while you dream." Draco smirked and shook his head at Harry kissing him lightly.
"You're just full of surprises aren't you?"
"Have to keep you interested somehow." Harry grinned kissing Draco deeply. A gasp sounded from down the hallway. Harry grinned slipping his tongue into Draco's mouth
"Harry its all over school."
"What?" Harry asked Ron curiously. "Some Huffelpuff girl saw you and Draco kissing." Harry smirked.
"You already heard about it?"
"Yes. Aren't you, I dunno, angry?"
"No."
"Oh… why?" Ron asked confused.
"I wanted people to find out."
"Oh, okay."
"Don't worry about it Ron." Harry grinned.
"Potter." Draco snapped walking from the direction of the great hall.
"What?" Draco grabbed Harry and dragged him down the hall into the nearest classroom.
"Are you going to tell me why you're trying to rip my arm off?"
"Why is everyone talking about us?"
"Because we were seen kissing."
"And why are they talking about us? Did you not think this was a bad idea?"
"No." Draco scowled sitting on a desk glaring at Harry,
"Explain it to me then."
"I needed people to know."
"That is not an explanation." Draco snapped since Harry had stopped talking.
"I had to have people start realizing who I am." Draco raised an eyebrow, "I can't just say everything there are people eavesdropping at the door." People were heard shuffling away.
"You'll explain it better to me later." Draco grabbed Harry's hand and walked out to the room glaring around, "do you have some sort of problem?" Draco sneered walking off Harry grinning next to him as they strolled into the great hall.
"That was terrible." Draco announced as soon as Harry and him were safely tucked away in his bedroom.
"It could have been worse." Harry shrugged. He walked up to Draco and wrapped his arms around him untucking Draco's shirt and running his fingers up and down the blonde's back.
"Not everyone was sending hex's at you for corrupting me." Harry chuckled. "I did not find it funny." Draco snapped.
"Sorry." Harry mumbled kissing Draco's neck and pulling his shirt up and off. Draco stripped Harry of his clothes as Harry was still fiddling with Draco's pants undoing his belt buckle and lowering his fly pulling his pants off slowly.
"Harry," Draco gritted out as the Gryffindor ran his hands down Draco's legs helping the blondes' pants fall off.
"Yes?" Harry asked slipping his hand into Draco's boxers.
"Hurry up." He was able to force out in between moans.
"Of course." Harry pushed Draco towards his bed. Draco's knees hit the back of the mattress and he fell back with Harry on top of him. Harry pressed his mouth firmly against Draco's in a smoldering kiss licking down the boy's jaw and to the hollow of his neck where he spent a few minutes sucking.
"Harry." Draco growled. Harry grinned against Draco's neck and moved down placing kisses over Draco' chest spending extra time at either of the boys nipples. He got to the edge of Draco's boxers and pulled them down slowly kissing every inch of skin exposed to him. Finally when they were off Harry leant down and lightly licked over Draco's erection. Draco groaned loudly bucking up into Harry. Harry looked down at Draco a slight flush littered across his face. Draco growled at him and Harry grinned bringing his face right to Draco's erection and swallowing him whole.
"I am going to strangle that boy if he doesn't start telling me what he plans to do." Lucius announced as he started stripping down in his room in his illustrious manor.
"What did he do this time?" asked Snape from where he was lounging rather comfortably on Lucius' bed.
"The school it seems has found out about Harry's exploits with Draco. I have had several Death Eaters contact me asking what is going on since all of them know Draco is with Silence." Lucius said slipping into his bed.
"What did you tell them?" Snape asked slipping his arm across Lucius' chest.
"That I have no clue what is going on and to ask Silence next time they see him. No one really seemed to pleased with the thought of asking him."
"Well I can imagine." Snape turned to face Lucius who was lying rather peacefully on his back. "Planning to just lie there all night?" Snape asked running his fingers down the other man's chest. "Because if so I will be very cross with you. Quite a waste to travel all the way here for nothing."
"Being with me is never a waste. And who do you think I am? Having such a gorgeous man and only sleeping. You must be getting senile in your age."
"Very funny Lucius. But if you'll recall you are actually older then I am."
"No need to remind me." Lucius pressed his lips to Snape's and soon the two older man where doing things very similar to what Draco and Harry were doing some distance away. Of course much more expertly, after all they have had so many years to perfect it.
