Chapter Six

Draco rolled off Harry and flopped onto his back next to the brunet, they were sweaty and sated and using every opportunity they could to have sex when Sirius wasn't in the house and now it was the end of August and they would be off to Hogwarts tomorrow.

"Oh I can see why Sirius and Uncle Sev do this as often as possible."

"What?" Harry moved away from Draco leaving the blond cold and suddenly feeling unwelcome.

"What, what?"

"You knew?"

Draco frowned at Harry who had gotten off the bed and started getting dressed, "you knew about dad and Snape?"

"Of course I did, Uncle Sev told about it when I had to come here. Sirius is my closest living relative and his relationship with Uncle Sev is what made each of us accept this arrangement."

Harry stared in disbelief, "I thought I could trust you and you've been lying to me."

"I was under the impression that you knew already" Draco sat up and the sheets pooled in his lap. "And either way I'm in wrong aren't I? If I had told you then I would have been in the wrong for spilling Sirius' secret, you wouldn't have believed me and then after confronting Sirius accuse me of trying to ruin your relationship with him. And because I haven't told you I'm still the bad guy, right?"

The blond raised his eyebrows and dared Harry to disagree.

"Now I get why dad was keeping Snape a secret, you Slytherins are always determined to be the bad guys. I'm glad we've not told anyone."

"But you will right? When we get to Hogwarts, you'll tell Granger and Weasley and I'll tell Vince, Greg and Pansy."

"You've got to be shitting me, Draco, I'm not telling anyone I'm fucking you! I'll be the laughing stock of Gryffindor."

Draco scrambled out of the bed and into his clothes, his face getting red with anger "are you ashamed of me or of being gay?"

"I'm not ashamed of being gay" Harry let out a soft snort but Draco froze in the middle of pulling one of Harry's t-shirts down his chest.

"You're ashamed of me" Draco breathed out in a whisper. "You're ashamed of me. Did you even tell Sirius? Of course you didn't, the only time we have sex or kiss is when he's not here. How could I have been so stupid? I- wow Potter just wow, you had me fooled." Draco left Harry's room and had made it to his door when Harry pulled him around by the arm.

"Where do you get off being fooled Malfoy? I fooled you, you fooled me into sleeping with you."

"At least I didn't cry when a cock went up my arse-"

"No you were fucking gagging for it."

Draco snarled into Harry's face "yes and you can go back to women, the youngest Weasley and fuck her. A hole is a hole right? While you do that, I'll be on my back legs over some man's shoulder getting the fucking of a lifetime because you are ashamed of me!"

Harry reeled back and struck out his fist catching Draco's chin and forcing his head back into the wall "hey! Harry!" Sirius had flooed in and entered the hallway pulling Harry away and thrusting him into his room "now stay there and don't even think about climbing out the window!"

He cradled Draco's head in his hands "are you alright?"

"Fine, just a tad dazed."

Sirius smiled "Sev will never forgive me if I don't treat you right now. Let's get you a potion for that headache and some ice for your jaw."

While Draco sat in the kitchen icing his bruised face, Sirius went to talk to Harry to try to find out what had gone on as Draco had been tight lipped about the whole thing.

"Harry? Care to tell me what that was about?"

"Nothing, just Malfoy being Malfoy" Harry snarled.

"I heard what Draco said. About you being ashamed of him, are you? Ashamed of being his friend, I mean."

"What do you think? I'd be ridiculed for living all summer with him if I befriended him then it would be the end of my friendship with Ron, and Hermione and pretty much every Gryffindor."

"If they'd desert you over having another friend they aren't worthy of being your friend in the first place. I know Draco's not easy to like, he's from a different background and has views that make you think and pushes you to your limits but he's a good man and he's a good friend. You may not have lost the friendship of your oldest friends but you might just have lost the friendship of someone who could understand you the best."

Harry looked at Sirius before hanging his head and not moving as Sirius left the room, quietly shutting the door behind him.

Draco looked over the scarlet steam engine and gripped the handle of his trunk "thank you for letting me stay this summer Sirius. I appreciate it."

Sirius smiled sadly "you're welcome anytime Draco. You have to be back next summer but will be coming back for Christmas?"

The blond glanced at Harry who was steadfastly ignoring him "no, I think I'll stay with Uncle Sev in the castle."

Nodding Sirius pulled him into a hug "you tell him 'hello' from me, okay?"

"Of course. I'll see you next year" Draco pulled away from the hug and headed onto the train feeling the heat of Harry's gaze burning into his back.

When Draco was on the train Sirius turned to Harry "goodbye son, I'll see you at Christmas."

"Yeah," Harry gave him a quick hug. "See you then dad, love you."

"Love you to son," Sirius watched sadly as Harry fought his way onto the train stopping when his name was called by Ron who came charging at him with Hermione and Ginny trailing behind.

"Hey mate, how was summer with Malfoy?" Ron spat the name out and grimaced.

"Help get this up and we'll find a compartment before we talk" Harry forced a smile that made Hermione stare at him knowingly.

When they had seated themselves in the compartment they exchanged summer stories, Harry lied and said that he and Malfoy stayed out of each other's' way simply to make life simpler for Sirius so they weren't fighting all the time.

They chatted together and their friends came and went so by the time it was dark and the train had rolled into the station they were sleepy and talked out. They waited for the mad rush to subside knowing there was no point in trying to get off the train with the younger students pushing at each other to get to the carriages.

The four of them left the train to find only a few carriages left, Harry stared at the weird horse thing that was in front of it "what's this?"

"What's what, Harry?"

Frowning at Hermione he pointed "this, horse thing, that's pulling the carriage."

"There's nothing there Harry. It's pulling itself like always."

"You know Granger," a voice drawled nearby "for the amount of times you've supposedly read Hogwarts: A History you've very clearly missed something important."

"What's that Malfoy?"

"Thestrals. They pull the carriages, look it up next you do a bit of light reading" Draco smirked, almost kindly and his voice lacked bite or mockery. Almost as if he was trying to help.

"I-" Hermione didn't get to finish as Draco, who was walking towards Parkinson and Goyle and Crabbe stumbled and fell to the ground in a dead faint.

"Drakie! Drakie!" Pansy shrieked as she ran towards him, moving his head so he wasn't suffocating in the mud her fingers flitting at the pulse point. "Wake up, sweetie, come on wake up!"

Hermione rushed forwards with Ginny by her side the younger trying to calm an increasingly hysterical Pansy while Hermione turned Draco onto his back using the muggle first aid techniques she knew of.

"Harry, Ron, go to the castle and Professor Snape" when neither boy moved she shouted "now!"

Ron stumbled into a carriage that seemed to sense the urgency of the situation as the thestral ran up the hill full speed. Harry was still standing there watching his friend ride away. He turned to Hermione who was staring at him with disgust and tears in her eyes "what?"

"You don't have to be so cruel Harry, we don't know what's wrong with Malfoy and if it takes Ron too long to find Snape then it's on your head."

Harry threw his arms up "fine!" He drew his wand and concentrated on a happy memory "expecto patronum" a stag shot out from the wand and danced around him, "hey Prongs, get Snape. I know you can't talk but get Snape and bring him here now." The stag galloped off and nothing more was said until it came back with Snape on its heels, Prongs disappearing as soon as he reached Harry.

"Potter, what is going on?"

"It's Malfoy, sir."

Snape turned to find Draco on his side, head on one arm and Hermione kneeling behind him her fingers on the base of his neck, she looked up as Snape approached "his pulse is weak and sluggish sir and he is breathing."

"Very good, ten points to Gryffindor" Snape waved his wand over Draco's body frowned, glanced over at Harry before repeating the wand movement. "Mr Crabbe, Mr Goyle, lift him into the carriage, the rest of you follow behind in the last one" Snape's voice was clipped and harsh "now!"

They all scrambled to comply and as Snape and Malfoy's carriage disappeared before them Harry felt sick with worry doing his best not to let it show on his face.
