Chapter Six: All About Us

It was a cold evening a couple of nights later, and Harry and Draco were alone in the Shrieking Shack. They were lying in a tangle of limbs on the sofa. Draco had used the handy charm that Hermione had taught him to make fire, and it was burning in the fireplace and in front of them in the air, above the coffee table. Draco looked at Harry, still unable to believe that he was his. "It's getting harder and harder to sneak out here." He said.

"I know, love, but we'll manage." Harry said, they were working on an essay for Defense Against the Dark Arts, but not very hard. Neither of them cared about getting homework done for that class. Harry brushed his hand through Draco's hair. He loved playing with Draco's hair. It was gorgeous.

Draco put down his quill, and turned to look at Harry. "Are we going to talk about it or not?" He asked, referring to Harry's new Occlumency lessons with Snape. Draco was a fan of them talking about it, but if Harry didn't want to he completely understood. He knew that Harry had been having trouble keeping Snape out.

"We're not." Harry said, clamming up. He didn't want to talk about it right now. He had been enjoying the quiet time that he and Draco were having right now. Even with their homework. Harry pulled away, adjusting his glasses. He didn't want to talk about Snape. It was bad enough that he wasn't learning to keep Snape out like he was supposed to. Hermione had been lecturing him on it, and Draco had been helping her. There were things that he wasn't supposed to be seeing.

Draco sighed and moved next to Harry, wrapping an arm around his neck. "Love, I didn't mean to upset you. If you don't want to talk about it, we won't, okay?" He said, turning Harry's face so that he was looking at Draco. Draco looked into those green eyes. Those green eyes that he dreamed about on a daily basis. He loved them so much. He loved Harry so much. "I just want you to know that you can speak to me about these things if you want to."

Leaning his head against Draco's, Harry nodded. "Now, are we going to talk, or are you going to shag me?" He asked, before he was kissing Draco, pushing him back against the sofa, licking the roof of Draco's mouth, which he knew drove him wild. He was rewarded with Draco's length hardening against his. Harry's hands moved to unbutton Draco's shirt.

When Harry's hands were on him, Draco could hardly focus on anything else. He kissed him back with as much fervor as Harry was giving him, not sure that he wanted to do this. He was slowly losing the ability to think with Harry kissing him like he was. Draco pressed closer, taking off Harry's shirt and coat, tossing them both to the floor. They worked each other out of their jeans, and Draco parted Harry's legs, licking his fingers and slipping them inside Harry.

Harry groaned as the fingers slid inside him, and his hips bucked against Draco's. He kissed him deeply, his hand moving through Draco's curly hair, shivering as he did, he loved playing with Draco's hair. It was so soft and silky. It was so blonde. He loved that about it too. "I'm ready for you….." He murmured against Draco's lips, and as soon as he did, Draco was inside him.

They moved together, moaning and groaning each other's names. Soon they were both coming, with a shudder and a gasp. Draco stayed inside him, and Harry laid on top of him, breathing and listening to the sound of Draco's heartbeat. He didn't think that shagging him to get out of talking about Occlumency was a good idea, but at least he didn't have to talk about it. He sighed as Draco moved out of him slowly. "Let's just lie here for a bit, okay, love? I don't want to move just yet."

"We don't have to move yet." Draco said, it was snowing to beat the band outside, and he would rather not deal with that. He just wanted to lay here with Harry for a bit. They didn't have long, they'd have to get up to the school soon actually. He just didn't want to go yet. It felt so nice just laying here with his lover.

They only sat like that for a few minutes more, and then they started gathering up their things. Draco still wished he could get Harry to talk about what was going on, but he knew it was impossible. Draco didn't know how Harry could be so stubborn. Okay, he did, because Malfoy himself could be stubborn on occasion. The Occlumency lessons weren't working either, because he knew Harry was still having trouble keeping Snape out of his mind. He sighed and slung his bag over his shoulder.

"What's wrong, love?" Harry asked, hoping that Draco wasn't about to say that it was his lessons with Snape. He'd known that shagging him would only keep him off it briefly. Harry really didn't want to talk about it. He was having nightmares about what he'd seen in Snape's head, he hadn't liked seeing James and Sirius making fun of Snape like that. Harry hoped that Draco would see he didn't want to talk and just leave it alone.

"Nothing, love, nothing." Draco replied, hoping that was enough for Harry. He didn't want to force Harry to talk about anything that he didn't want to. However, he would eventually. Draco didn't want Harry to be worried about things that he couldn't change. He had to be worried eventually, but Draco wasn't going to force him right now. They also had other things to worry about.

"Well, what do you think about Cho?"

Harry looked at Draco. "What are you talking about, love? She's just an acquaintance. Why would you worry about her?"

Smiling softly at him as they started their walk to Hogwarts, Draco said, "No, love, I mean, do you think she's going to tell on Umbridge about the DA?" Draco honestly was worried, she had been sending him looks whenever she saw him in the hallways. He didn't have any classes with her, because she was a sixth year, but whenever she saw him at any time she was glaring at him. Draco was starting to get worried.

"I think she's too upset about Cedric to get too involved in exposing us to Umbridge." This was honestly what Harry thought. He'd been observing Cho as often as he could, and she was always crying. It was something that he was feeling sorry for her for. He just wished that he could express his condolences to her without her seeing it as more than it was. Cho had made it clear that she liked him. Harry thought that was a bit pointless of her, but it was a common problem with girls to be in love with gay boys.

"Well I hope that you're right, love." Draco said, as they kept walking the tunnel. Soon they were coming up on the Whomping Willow and the cold outside. Draco pressed closer to Harry as they walked, wanting to keep warm as long as possible till they got to the school. That's when Hagrid stopped them. They were surprised that he was even still on the grounds, Umbridge was out to get him because she knew he was on Dumbledore's side.

Hagrid said, "Are you two going ter come fer tea? It seems like it's been ferever, and I could use the distraction." Grubbly-Plank was still teaching Care of Magical Creatures, and they had to admit, they were sad about that, they liked Hagrid's classes. Although the girls were enamored with Grubbly-Plank, she had gotten some unicorns for class.

"Did you know where we were Hagrid, or did you just see us while you were out?" Harry asked, only Ron and Hermione knew about their excursions to the Shack, but that didn't mean that someone hadn't seen them even though they were careful. He was hoping that Hagrid had just seen them on his way back to his house or something.

"I was on the way back ter me house." Hagrid replied. "I saw yer." Hagrid hadn't said much about what he thought about Draco and Harry dating, but he was acting as if he trusted Malfoy, and that was a surprise, but they had just guessed that he was accepting him because Harry trusted him. There wasn't anyone Hagrid trusted more than Harry and Dumbledore.

Draco said, "We have some time tomorrow, Hagrid." He wasn't sure how to act around Hagrid because he wasn't sure what Hagrid felt. He assumed that he trusted him, but he'd never come right out and said it. So Draco did his best not to give him a reason to distrust him. It was easy because he worked on that every day with most of the school. Especially the DA.

They promised Hagrid that they'd come and see him the following afternoon, and bring Ron and Hermione if they were free, and hurried back up to the school. They parted before they wanted to, since they were in different houses. Draco hated to leave Harry. He headed down to the Slytherin house dungeons, he was going to have to work some more on his essay before he went to bed. He settled in at his favorite table in the common room, by the warm fire.

He was soon joined by Theodore Nott, one of the other Slytherins in his year, one who hadn't actually stopped talking to him because of his new views. "Hey, Draco." Theodore said, as he settled in at the table with some of his own homework. Draco had often wondered if he was gay too, but he hadn't asked him yet. It could be a hard question for someone to answer.

"Hey, Nott." Draco said easily. They weren't exactly friends, but they were friendly enough. It was why he called him by his surname, he didn't feel familiar enough to call him Theodore. He scribbled along with his quill, he was writing about not questioning the Ministry, which was what the subject of the essay was supposed to be about. Draco hated to write it, it was one of the reasons he'd been taking his time with it. It was abhorrent to him.

"Can I ask you something, Draco?" Theodore asked. He was wondering when Draco had known he was gay. Theodore thought he might be too. He actually had a crush on Draco, but he knew that it wasn't going to get him anywhere. He could tell how into Potter Draco was. Theodore actually thought it was sweet.

That seemed reasonable, and Draco said, "Yeah, you can ask me something sure." He wondered what it could be, it's not as if they were really friends. He wondered if they would become friends. Nott wasn't a bad guy, he was just quiet. Draco put down his quill and looked at Nott, waiting for him to speak.

"When did you know you were…. You were into boys?" Theodore asked. He was thinking it was okay to tell Draco about him as long as he didn't tell him that he had a crush on him. He didn't want to make things awkward with him. Draco was the only other boy besides Harry that he knew was gay, and it would be nice to have a friend who knew what he was going through.

Draco said, "I always knew I was gay. I didn't know how I was going to come out, but I always knew. It was just something that I knew about myself." He brushed his hand through his curls. "Why are you asking me? Are you gay too?" He asked.

"I think I might be, yeah." Theodore replied. "I just…. I'm not sure. I haven't even kissed a boy yet… but it's all I can think about." It was true, all he could think about was kissing a boy. He wondered if Draco would help him out with that. It was only a kiss, after all. It's not as if he would be cheating on Harry. And that's if he chose to say anything about it. No one would know.

Draco said, "Well you probably are, do you ever think about kissing girls? Or being with a girl? If you do, then you might be bisexual. But if you don't, then you probably are gay. And there's nothing wrong with that. If you like boys it's just who you are and it's okay."

"I never think about girls, I never have." Theodore replied. He was focused on Draco's lips, and before he knew it, he was kissing Draco.

"Oi!" Draco sputtered, pushing him back. "We can be friends, Nott, but you can't just go and kiss me. I have a boyfriend." A very serious boyfriend, as far as Draco was concerned, he'd found the person he was meant to be with. "Don't kiss me again, or we can't even be friends." He said, looking at him. Was Nott in love with him or something? Draco hoped not. It would be nice to have a friend in Slytherin.

Theodore said, "I'm sorry, Draco. I just couldn't help myself. I won't do it again." He added, brushing his hand over his brown hair. Theodore didn't know if he should feel guilty or not…. It was only a kiss. And he hadn't planned it. Theodore wasn't usually one to feel too guilty about things, but he didn't ever do things that he needed to feel guilty for. Usually. He kept to himself quite a bit.

"I've got work to finish, Nott. You can talk to me about this later, I don't want to leave you high and dry. Maybe Harry and I can talk to you about it together or something." Draco told him, and Nott left him alone. Draco didn't think he should tell Harry, he had told Nott not to do it again and that he had boyfriend. Draco didn't see the point in upsetting him if he didn't have to. They had worried about Cho Chang, maybe it was Nott they had to worry about.

Author's note: XD. So there's a new worry for Drarry in Theodore Nott. I'm reading a Drarry fic right now where he's gay, so it was a bit inspired by that. I hope you liked, and I am sure that a new update won't be far. I am really into this fic right now.
