Chapter 16

That morning I woke to the smell of blueberry pancakes and coffee. I could feel my stomach rumble and none so gracefully rolled out of bed. I landed on my feet in a crouch, and stood. I stretched my sore muscles and smiled. My whole body was sore from the night before and I couldn't find it within myself to give a damn. It felt good. I quickly slipped on a pair of black boxers and walked out of the bedroom. Severus was sitting on the couch with the Daily Prophet in his hand and I couldn't resist the temptation to nuzzle his pale neck.

"Morning." I greeted him, my voice muffled to having my face buried in his hair.

"Good Morning."

I lifted my faced and walked around the couch and flopped down, quickly grabbed the plate of food and began to practically inhale it. "This if eally good Sev'rus." I said with my mouth full.

"Do not speak with your mouth full, you are not a Weasley, so do not act like a barbarian." Severus chided me.

I swallowed the large amount of pancake, and grinned. "What? Are you implying that I'm not a barbarian? Did Severus Snape just compliment me?" I teased him.

Severus growled and grabbed my chin and pulled me into a kiss, showing me exactly what he thought of my teasing.

A soft cough caught my attention and I pulled away.

Salazar was looking at me, and I flushed at the thought of being caught snogging in front of one of the Founders.

"A Mr. Malfoy and Zabini are here to see you. shall I let them through?"

I nodded, "uh, yeah, thanks."

Salazar inclined his head before walking out of the Portrait. Moments later Malfoy and Zabini came into view.

"Have we interrupted something?" Draco drawled.

"Yes"

"No"

Me and Severus both said at the same time. I blushed again in embarrassment.

"Oh, cute, Harry is embarrassed at getting caught in his underwear."

In turn my face grew hotter and I all but ran from the room. I quickly sank into the bath tub, letting the cold tile cool my skin. "Breathe." I ordered myself. It had been a while since I had needed the comfort of the tub. I had always hidden away in it when Vernon was on a rampage. It always felt good against my skin.

I took a few more calming breaths before standing and walking to the bedroom. I slid on the first pair of trousers I saw, and grabbed a plain green t-shirt. I didn't realize that the pants I was wearing were Severus'.

Once I reentered the room I noticed that everything was quiet.

"Hey. So…what's up?" I asked trying to ease the tension that was now coating the room.

I sat beside Severus and he pulled me up against him possessively. I smiled softly before turning to Draco. "Well? I know something is up, I can feel it. So you might as well get it over with."

"Right…Um…how to say it." Draco began awkwardly.

"Just try." I offered.

He nodded, and glanced at Blaise who nodded encouragingly.

"Dumbledore he ah…well he..." Draco sighed. "Dumbledore called me into his office and told me to spy on you. He said that if I did this then he could get my Father out of Azkaban."

I stared at him blankly for a minute. 'what? Dumbledore actually promised that…' I thought to myself.

"What kind of information did he ask you to collect?" Severus asked.

Draco sighed again and rubbed the back of his neck. "Things about Harry's new abilities. Things that he can use against him. A weak spot, if you will. He also wants to know who Harry's Mate is. He obviously hasn't heard the rumors about the two of you. He also wants me to gather information on who he talks to, what he talks about, anything that hints to something criminal. I think he is trying to blackmail Harry into doings something, but I don't know what."

I thought about that for a moment.

"Okay." I finally said shrugging my shoulders.

"Okay?" Draco asked astonished.

"Yes. I'll play his game, but its going be played by my rules. Say you'll agree to help in any way you can. After all- you hate me. I put you father behind bars. I killed your Lord. Tell him that I am Mated to Sev, and tell him, that my Magic is unstable. If he wants information I'll give it to him. I want to know what he wants, and he wants a way to control me. He wont expect that I'm the one that is controlling him."

Draco sat there and thought about it. I could feel the shock coming from everyone in the room.

"What? You didn't think the Sorting Hat wanted to put me in Slytherin for nothing did you?"

More shock.

"It tried to put you in Slytherin?" Severus asked me astounded.

I laughed. "Yep, but I told it not to. I had only just entered the Magical World. the only information I knew about your House, is that only Dark Wizards came from there, so I told it to put me anywhere else, and it put me in Gryffindor."

"Unbelievable. All this time and you could have been a snake." Blaise muttered.

I laughed again. "Yep, sadly I was very misled as a child. And Manipulated, two things I am not fond of being. I hate being lied to, and that is all the old fool seemed to do. He never realized that along the way, it was me that was using him."

Severus kissed my neck. "You, love, are truly an evilly cunning Snake. You would have made a fantastic Slytherin."

I hummed and leaned into the gesture. "But then the game would not be near as fun. Its time for me to play my next piece. Draco, will you help me?"

I asked, my eyes shinning brightly.

He got an arrogant smirk on his face. "I never thought I would see the day that the Great Potter is asking me for help. However, since I have such a kind heart…I have no choice but to say yes, of course I'll help."
