A/N - Okay, so a thought occurred to me while writing that the speech I write, might not be on separate lines on your page. I do apologise and I hope you can read it easily but I don't know what else to do. Also, I was thinking, this chapter isn't particularly about the song, or based around the song but lyrics feature in there if not incredibly obvious. Also, I apologize if you think these chapters are short.
Harry sent the letter off on Errol and made himself look sociable for his partner. Going down the stairs he couldn't smell the bacon and sausage like yesterday, just the cold air blowing through the house. While the whole house seemed a lot brighter than earlier visits Harry had made, it was still cold and bleak. Not that he'd given the Malfoy's much chance to decorate, he was only here and short while ago.
"Good morning Draco." Harry kissed the other boy before sitting down across the table from him, there wasn't a moment gone by where Draco hadn't missed him, since it'd been late when Harry had gotten back and he'd had other things to do while his love was away. "My parents are coming back today, hence why I haven't cooked breakfast. But there are other reasons; I need to speak to you." Harry moved to a seat closer to Draco, taking his hand in his and looking into his eyes. He was worried Draco was going to tell him he couldn't be with him, and he wanted to end it, or that he should go back to Ginny because that's who everyone should be with. "I just need to know we're okay Harry, when you left so suddenly yesterday to go and see Ginny that I was losing you, I'm scared that I'll lose you Harry. After everything that's happened, I love you and I can't let you go." Harry looked shocked, he never expected Draco to be so truthful immediately, especially without the use of sarcasm. "Draco, you won t lose me, me and Ginny are over, she knows that, I know that and so do you. She sent me a letter before and made it sound like she wanted me back some day but it's not going to happen, I've thrown what we had into the flames, from now on it's you and me."
Draco sighed with relief and kissed Harry, "You know I was so scared when Voldemort was killed, when the war ended and everyone was gone. I was scared that my life would be spent in the Manor alone with my family and everything would be so dark, but then you kissed me and you saved me, you made me realize that it wasn't all about my family, my mother hasn't forgiven my father but they're staying together for appearances I suppose, or they were before this holiday, the owl that came was my mother's owl, usually it's father's. I don t think he's coming back." Harry's eyes widened, he knew Draco was going to be distraught, he thought Draco had been keeping up with the news but obviously not. He looked out of the window before addressing his boyfriend again, "Draco, I'm really sorry, and I shouldn't be the one to tell you this but it was in the papers the other day and I thought you might have seen and just avoided the subject. Your father's been sent to Azkaban and he won t be out for a long time, I'm really sorry." Draco astounded Harry by smiling slightly, Harry had expected anger and storming out and such but instead Draco was calmer and so it seemed, happy. He arose from the chair and started searching through the cupboards for food to cook for their breakfast. "I'm sorry, you seem to think I should be upset, that man has been nothing but a burden for my mother in the past and the source of most of my fear, if it weren't for him we'd have been friends long ago and anything that's happened in the past week would have been cast out of history because we'd have been together long ago. Harry Potter I love you and you've just given me the best news in a long time, although I don't know how mother's taken it and I don't think we should overcrowd her mind with news this soon so if it'd be possible for you to hide in your bedroom for a little while longer. I'll bring you food of course and there's a door leading from yours to mine if it wasn't already apparent."
Harry was confused; he hadn't noticed a door in his room other than the one he'd been exiting through for the past three days. "I really don't mind staying at the Leaky Cauldron if you need space to speak to your mother." Draco laughed and stood smirking, he took his lover by the hand and took him upstairs to his own bedroom, and he went to a curtain by the side of a dressing table. "Don't think twice about questioning the dressing table, it's for show but follow the door behind this curtain and you'll find your bedroom, now, I'll come and get you after my mother goes to bed and you shall spend the night in my bed with me, for the first time. Nothing shall happen, but I just need to be held, or hold someone I don't know, depending on how it works out. But silence is necessary because I don't want my mother finding out till tomorrow, when you shall meet her in a completely different situation to last time, when she saved your life." Draco needn't remind Harry of how his mother saved his life, how she claimed he was dead so that Voldemort wouldn't induce more pain, but he did the beloved Cruciatus curse on his lifeless body. It was fine though, he'd killed Voldemort and it was thanks to the Malfoy s well at least two thirds of the Malfoy family anyway.
"I'll be as quiet as I can but you know there are silencing charms we could use. But I agree I do just want to sleep tonight." Draco smirked at the idea of Harry using a silencing charm to hush his actions, had Harry ever gotten that far with anyone. They'd certainly not gone that far before, Harry wanted to wait, till they'd had a more special time and Draco was hardly the last person who was going to complain, he was petrified of sleeping with the chosen one. If he was honest he was petrified of sleeping with anyone. He'd slept with Pansy but that was more her taking advantage of the situation and him going along with it. He'd managed to hold back the tears until Pansy had pulled her trousers up and left, like the tart that she was. He'd ruined his first time, nobody ever had that perfect first time but he'd hoped he was the one that would. Maybe things would change with Harry. Draco opened the door to prove Harry his room was there, as it was. He allowed Harry to go first and slowly followed him, "See, I tell no lies, correction, I tell few lies, even fewer to you." Harry smiled at the honesty behind every word Draco had said that day. He couldn't wait to hold him that night, and that night was seeming to draw closer as they heard the large crack of an apparition downstairs, "Mother's home, stay here and don't make a sound. I love you." He kissed Harry on the lips and ran downstairs to his mother leaving Harry alone with his mind to think about the past, the future and what he wanted right now.
A/N: Second chapter in a day, I'm sorry if there are any mistakes, I don't have a beta and I have bestowed upon the beauty of spell check to make sure my stories are okay.
