Chapter 17: Dangerous Encounters
Ever since the incident in Draco's room, Pansy avoided Draco at all costs. Every now and then she would throw Draco a dirty look, and in turn, Draco glared at the girl every time he saw her walking by. They wouldn't be near each other unless they were forced to when they're partners in one of their classes. People noticed the change between the Slytherins, but they did not ask why.
Draco was in the middle of taking notes in Charms with Professor Flitwick when Harry nudged him on the ribs. This class was a mixture of Gryffindors and Slytherins.
Draco put his quill down. "What is it Harry?"
"Why is Pansy glaring at us? Did something happen?" Harry glanced over to where the pug-nosed girl was sitting. Draco never told Harry what happened that night. But then Draco felt that he should let Harry know; he didn't want to hide anything from the person he loves.
"Harry… Pansy she… I'll tell you after class. We both have a free period anyways." Draco said hesitantly.
Harry took Draco's hand and held it. "Tell me everything okay?" Draco nodded and gave Harry a small smile. Harry patted Draco's hand and turned back to his own notes.
Draco watched Harry's hand fly over his parchment as he took down everything Professor Flitwick was saying. Draco can see Harry's face change from frowning when the professor was talking a bit too fast to scowling when the information went over his head. Draco chuckled softly to himself. Harry was his and he planned to keep it that way. His father isn't going to interrupt their relationship. Draco had vowed that night in his bedroom that no matter what costs he will protect Harry from Lucius' wrath. Even if it means…
"Class dismissed!" Flitwick squeaked in his high pitch voice.
Students rustled around as they packed their things. Draco saw Pansy left with Crabbe and Goyle. Putting his Charms book in his bag Draco stood up and stretched.
"Ready to go Harry?" Draco asked; Harry was still scribbling away on his parchment. "Harry are you still writing?"
Harry looked up and frowned. "Professor Flitwick talked too fast! I think I'm missing stuff…" Harry jabbed at his paper with his quill.
Draco laughed. "I have all my notes; you can borrow them and copy it down in my room."
Harry stuck at his tongue at Draco; Draco arched his eyebrow.
"What?" Draco asked, amused at Harry's actions.
"Nothing. Why do you have all your notes? I saw you staring at me when he was talking the whole time!" Harry crossed his arms over his chest and huffed.
"There is something called 'reading ahead' Harry." Draco smirked at his boyfriend. (A/N: alright I used boyfriend)
"Yea yea… So are we going to your room?" Harry grinned. Draco looked around the classroom; everybody left already, including the professor. Draco smiled and held Harry's smaller hand in his.
'I'm not going to let you go…'
"Yes we are. We'll be having lunch as well." Draco pulled Harry to walk with him. They walked all the way to the Slytherin tower hand in hand.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
"Your notes are so neat… it almost rivaled Hermione's" Harry mumbled with a mouth full of turkey sandwich. He took another bite.
"Harry… you're going to dirty my 'neat' notes with bits of turkey." Draco chided as he flicked a piece of crumb off of his notes.
"Oh sorry." Harry swallowed his last bite of sandwich and placed the half eaten bread on the plate.
Draco and Harry were both inside the bedroom with Harry lying on his stomach and Draco sitting cross legged next to Harry. Harry picked up his neglected quill and dipped the tip into the ink; he began scribbling onto his own parchment. Draco watched while shaking his head lightly. Harry is very sloppy Draco noticed.
"Draco I thought we were going to talk… You're not hiding things from me are you?" Harry asked while still writing the notes down.
"…I'm not hiding anything… But there are things that are better left unsaid."
Harry stopped writing, placed the quill down, and pushed himself up from the floor. Harry sat on the carpeted floor and stretched; his shirt rode up a couple of inches as he did so. Draco watched on as smooth tanned skin revealed itself; Draco licked his sudden dry lips. Harry dropped his arms and pulled his shirt back down. He turned to look at Draco.
"You better not or else I'll be a very mad person." Harry leaned over and kissed Draco on the lips.
Draco's lips tasted of Harry and turkey sandwich; Draco moistened his lips once more. (A/N: -wink wink-)
"Well?" Harry prompted. "Whatever you were going to tell me in the classroom tell me now."
Draco untangled his legs and bent them; he wrapped his arms around his knees and began to rock gently. Harry scooted closer to the blond and laid his head on Draco's broad shoulders.
"Two weeks ago Pansy barged into my room in the middle of the night." Draco could feel Harry tensed but didn't say anything. "I thought I locked my door but I didn't so she came in."
"What did she do? She didn't hurt you did she?!" Harry asked; anger rose within him.
Draco tilted his head to the side so that it was on top of Harry's. "She didn't hurt me… she wanted me to have sex with her."
"WHAT?!" Harry screamed as he pulled his head away from Draco's shoulders. His eyes were smoldered with anger.
"Harry…love… calm down," Draco looked as green eyes widened with fury. "She had a lust potion with her. It was a very strong one, too."
"She wanted you to take it right? So that you would have no control of your actions!" Harry growled. "That way she can say you shagged her or raped her or whatever the hell she wanted to say!"
"It's more than that Harry… I think I have to tell you everything, starting from the time I turned eleven."
Half an hour later Draco told Harry everything, from the time his and Pansy's engagement was made, how his father wanted him to marry Pansy after graduation, the threats made by his father, and the letter he received two weeks ago. Harry listened intently as his lover spoke. He had no idea that Draco had kept all that in. By the time Draco was done explaining, Harry was on the verge of tears.
"I didn't know… and here I thought you were keeping things from me. You told me about the letter and-and how your father wanted to hurt me," Harry wiped his fingers across his eyes behind his glasses. "But I didn't know about your engagement… No wonder Pansy kept on throwing hateful glances at me."
"My father is getting desperate." Draco spat. "That's why he sent Pansy that lust potion. That way I have to marry Pansy because I would have had sex with her if she managed to pour that potion down my throat."
Harry cupped Draco's face. "You don't have to go through this alone Draco… Let me help you, be next to you."
Draco closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "You are helping me Harry. Just being with me is help enough." Draco stared down at the man sitting in front of him. "But right now you are in danger… my father can do anything to you and I wouldn't know."
"You're making me sound like a girl that can't protect herself." Harry gave Draco a smile. "Don't worry too much."
"Just promise me that you won't go anywhere alone." Draco pleaded. 'I'll die if you're… gone.'
"Alright!" Harry laughed. "I'll stick to you like glue. Is that better?" His eyes were actually shining with mirth.
Draco leaned over and pecked Harry's lips. "You better stick to me like glue." Draco smiled against the soft lips.
"Can I stick to you like melted chocolate? I think glue stinks and I know I don't smell." Harry said when Draco pulled away from him.
Draco laughed for the first time in weeks.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Either as glue or melted chocolate, Harry kept his promise. He stayed by Draco whenever he could but if Slytherins were around Harry move away and acts as if him and Draco were still enemies. They both knew that this act is very crucial at this point. No new letters came for Draco; Pansy kept her distance away from the couple though occasionally she would tell them rude remarks when given the chance. Things calmed down a bit or so they would like to think so.
It was a Hogsmeade weekend; all students were excited for a break from all the exams and homework from their classes. Draco saw this as a chance for him and Harry to be alone together without having to worry other people seeing them. They both decided to stay inside Hogwarts where they are protected from outsiders, mainly one Lucius Malfoy.
"Draco?" Harry turned to look at the blond who was sitting behind him with his back touching the front of the couch and his legs splayed opened for Harry to sit between. They were spending some time alone in the Slytherin common room.
"What is it love?" Draco asked as he tightened his arms around Harry's stomach; he could feel Harry's body heat surging through his robes.
"I'm craving for something…"
Draco tried to stop himself from laughing by biting his lips but failed miserably. Harry tilted his head back and glared up at Draco. Harry scooted back so that his arse came in contact with Draco's crotch. Draco immediately stopped laughing and groaned.
"You better stop doing that…" Draco growled next to Harry's ear. "Or you'll find yourself flattened on the floor and snogged senseless by me."
Harry went crimson. "I wouldn't mind…" Harry stuck out his bottom lip and Draco looked on with hunger. "But that's not what I'm craving for right now."
Draco couldn't help but roll his eyes; his Harry was just too adorable.
"Then what do you crave?" Draco whispered as he placed a kiss on the nape of Harry's neck.
"Ice cream." Came Harry's simple, but yet weird answer.
Draco was taken aback. "Are you serious Harry? You sound like a pregnant woman craving for food."
Harry puffed out his cheeks; Draco thought how he wanted to pinch them.
"Yes I'm serious! And no, I'm not a pregnant woman!" Harry sat up so that he wasn't leaning against Draco's chest anymore. "I just felt like having ice cream. Chocolate… Strawberry…" Harry began naming all kinds of different flavors.
"Alright love, why don't we go out and get you some ice cream?" The corners of Draco's mouth curved up.
"Really? We're going to get some?" Harry smile was so bright that it could have put the candles to shame.
Harry jumped up from his position on the ground and stood up. He grabbed Draco by the arm and pulled the taller man up. Then Harry walked to an armchair and grabbed his discarded robe.
"Let's hurry! People will come back soon!" Draco shook his head and chuckled as he followed Harry out the door of the common room.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
"Mmm… You should try this Draco! Chocolate with whipped cream on top is the best!" Harry mumbled as he scooped another spoonful of the chocolaty goodness. It was his second bowl of ice cream.
Draco looked at Harry and smiled. The littlest things can make Harry happy. Right now, he looked like a child getting his Christmas present. Draco scooped into his ice cream sundae.
"Don't eat too much love, or you're going to get a stomach ache." Draco warned as he saw Harry take another spoonful into his mouth.
Harry laughed. "No I'm not! My stomach can take it." To prove his point Harry patted his stomach. Harry was about to eat another spoon when Draco suddenly leaned over the table and stared at his face.
"What are you doing Draco?" Harry asked; the chocolate ice cream dripping from his spoon.
Draco leaned closer and licked the corner of Harry's mouth. "You had some whipped cream there…"
Harry flushed. "Draco! We're in public!"
Draco smirked as he sat back down; he pushed his bowl of ice cream away from him.
"I think I've had enough… My stomach's getting a bit queasy." Draco took a napkin and dabbed his mouth. "Are you done?"
Harry scraped the bottom of his bowl and licked his spoon then he pouted. "Yea… I'm done. Man, this ice cream parlor is the best in Hogsmeade!" Draco dug into his pocket and took out some coins.
"We should head back; the other students would go back soon," Draco stood up from his chair; Harry stood up and instantly held his stomach. "I told you not to eat too much Harry."
Harry rubbed his belly. "It's not hurting… I'm just really full…"
Draco rolled his eyes. "Yea… Sure." Draco hooked his arms with Harry and poked at Harry's slightly bulging stomach. "Now you do look like a pregnant woman."
"HEY! I ate too much that's all!" Harry scowled. "And are you calling me fat Draco?!"
Draco let a soft chuckle. "I'm not calling you fat, but I did warn you not to eat too much."
They started to walk down the street; activity was buzzing everywhere. Witches and wizards crowded the streets. Some carried numerous shopping bags; some were just walking around, smiling and talking.
"I wish we can have a Hogsmeade weekend every week." Harry said as he and Draco both leisurely walked back towards Hogwarts. "It's so… relaxing here; seeing the people going on with their lives."
"Yes… it is relaxing here." Draco grasped Harry's arm tighter. "But you know I can't relax knowing my father can--"
"Don't think about him." Harry looked around at the people walking by. "He's not here right now; we should enjoy ourselves."
Draco stayed silent the whole way back to school.
o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o
Once they were at the front gates of Hogwarts, students were also coming back from their time at the village. As students began to come in, Draco and Harry blended in with the crowd and walked briskly away from watching eyes. Draco walked Harry to the Gryffindor tower and stood before the portrait to Harry's common room. He spun Harry around and held Harry in his arms.
"Draco… I… can't breathe!" Harry choked out then let out a laugh. Draco pulled away and held Harry at arm's length.
"Get in there; Granger and Weasley are probably worried about you." Draco turned Harry around once more and pushed him to the entrance. Harry stood his ground and turned around, again.
"I had a great time today; thanks for treating me." Harry gave Draco a wide smile then walked up to him until they were nose to nose. Harry landed a kiss on Draco's lips. Draco kissed back with passion.
"Now in you go Harry before anybody comes this way."
Harry walked to the portrait and said the password; the painting swung open and Harry walked in. With one last glance at the blond Harry turned and the painting closed behind him.
Seeing Harry safely inside the common room Draco started to walk back to his own quarters.
"Serpentine." Draco said the password to the Slytherin common room and the knight painting swung open to grant him access. Draco stepped in and the portrait closed softly behind him. Just as he was about to go up to his room, he noticed a figure sitting on a chaise by the fire. Draco recognized the blond hair.
'Oh fuck…'
"Father…" Lucius Malfoy turned and faced his son.
"Draco… You're finally here." Lucius sneered; his lips curled showing his teeth.
Draco's blood boiled when he saw his father's face. He clenched his fists at his sides.
"How did you get in here?" Draco said through gritted teeth. Lucius stood up and walked towards Draco; his cane tapping on the stone floor.
"One of your fellow Slytherins let me in once he recognized me as your father." Lucius drawled; he stopped walking once he was about a foot away from Draco. Draco stayed where he was standing, he didn't want to be near the man.
'Good thing Harry's back in his common room…'
"So Draco… What is this I hear from Pansy about you going out with Harry Potter?" Lucius whispered; his voice was dripping with venom. "Have you forgotten about the engagement?"
"FUCK THE ENGAGEMENT!" Draco screamed. "I'm not going to marry that bitch!" Draco could see his father clenching his jaw. "You wanted her to give me that damn potion… How could you?!"
"I told you to stay away from Potter Draco," Lucius grounded out. "But you didn't listen did you? You disobeyed me you insolent boy!" Draco glared at his father.
"You also know I told you I will get rid of Potter if that is my last resort." Lucius continued; he began walking around Draco in a circle, tapping his cane as he did so.
Draco's body shook with resentment; he could feel bile creeping up his throat. Draco had never been so angry in his life.
"Stay away from Harry!" Draco snarled. "I don't care if you are my father… I'll go against you if I really have to!"
Lucius slammed his cane down hard. "You dare to go against me?" He said in a deadly whisper. "Would you go so far as to kill your own father?!"
Draco spun around and faced Lucius; his eyes were dark, the grayness completely gone.
"I would."
"How dare you!" Lucius snarled; his face twisted in anger.
Lucius was about to step closer to Draco to grab him by the neck when the portrait opened. Slytherins were coming back, and some were looking at the father and son with confusion. Whispers and murmuring went around the common room. Some of the lower years began to stare at the older Malfoy for he still had his arms stretched out.
Lucius pulled his arm back and left it at his side. He straightened out his coat and whipped his hair away from his face. Draco looked at him with hard eyes.
"I suggest you leave… father." Draco said in faked calmness. He didn't want to cause a commotion with all the people in the room.
"I'll see you later son." Lucius spat out. He turned and walked to the door, shoving some students out of his way. The painting slammed shut.
All the other Slytherins continued to whisper. Draco could feel a headache coming and he rubbed his temples.
"Don't you all have other fuckin things to do?!" Draco lashed out.
Some cringed away from Draco while others started walking up the stairs to their dormitories. Draco stormed away from the whisperings and went to his chambers. Once he was inside he quickly slammed the door behind him and locked it. Draco trudged to his bed and fell on top of it. Draping an arm over his head, Draco worried.
"He's here… He'll do anything… Anything…" Draco muttered.
It has begun.
