Yes I understand the last chapter was a bit sped through but that was the idea because the real trouble hasn't begun yet. Here this continues on when Draco comes back from his 'fainting' spell.

And yes Sirius is alive in this one!

Enjoy!

Dumbledore's office:

Draco had been out for two hours, and after his fainting Harry and Lucius moved him to a sofa near the shelf of books in Dumbledore's office. Harry laughed after he fainted but Snape and Lucius, not so much.

"We figured he'd be like this." Lucius said stroking his son's hair.

"I actually thought he'd be in a screaming fit." Harry laughed. "So…you two have been together…for years?"

"Precisely." Snape.

"What about Narcissa?" Lucius' face fell a little.

"Our marriage was arranged by my father. Narcissa and I were good friends but we both agreed we'd only be in this legally through marriage. I had Severus and she had her own lover."

"And then Voldemort killed them both?" Lucius nodded.

"She was a great mother."

"Mm…" Draco's eyes fluttered open and went directly to Lucius. "Father?"

"Draco…I know this is a shock to you but…"

"What about mother? Didn't you love her?"

"I did Draco, but not as much as I love Severus. You see son, your mother and I were in an arranged marriage by our fathers. My father knew I was in love with Severus but he wouldn't allow it because he was homophobic; apparently he and Narcissa's father made a contract to have us marry since before we started school."

"Did she know?" he nodded.

"She understood, we had you out of duty son. Don't get me wrong Draco your mother and I were good friends, but after we found out about the contract there was no way out." Draco looked at Snape.

"Why didn't you ever tell me?"

"We were going to son, but after our positions with the Dark Lord were patronized we had to hold off. Your mother was the one who got caught, and in doing so she gave me a heads up and told me to run."

"She died protecting you, both of you."

"And you Draco, because if I messed up then the Dark Lord would come after you. I had to go into hiding, but I also had to be sure you were safe here at the school. Severus could look after you and report back to me, but when he told me…" Draco cut him off with a look to Snape.

"You told him? About me and Harry?" Snape nodded.

"I saw you two kissing in the corridor last Saturday night, it shocked me at first but then I remembered how much you reminded me of your father and I at that age. I had to tell him…"

"Yet you didn't think I wanted to? I was going to tell him last week when I got his letter."

"I wasn't aware at the time, but understand I tell your father everything." Draco glared at both of them but relaxed under Harry's touch. "I understand you're upset Draco…"

"I'm more upset that neither of you could tell me sooner, if so then my mother might still be alive."

"Now Draco don't be so harsh on your father and godfather, they've risked a lot for you and Mr. Potter. I admit at first I wasn't so sure about your relationship with young Harry here, but after Severus explained the circumstances to me I can only be sure you need each other right now."

"I think you should listen Draco." Harry said calmly with a kiss to Draco's hair. "I admit I'd be a little upset myself but I'd be willing to listen." Draco looked at him and Harry nodded. He got up from the sofa and walked over to Lucius and hugged him.

"Draco." Lucius hugged him back.

"I already lost one parent, I don't want to lose another." He sniffled into Lucius's robes. "Father…"

"Draco I want you to be happy, and if Potter makes you happy then I'll try and get along with him. If he's willing…?" Lucius looked at Harry.

"I'm willing to do anything for your son. Don't get me wrong we may have been enemies for years, but I know I can make it work with Draco."

"Harry." He turned to Dumbledore. "I must admit I want to know how you were certain for your feelings towards young Draco. If you're willing to share…"

"Only if word doesn't leave this room; I haven't told anyone about this. Not even Sirius or Ron and Hermione."

"I won't say a word, Severus?" the Potions master nodded.

"I wasn't certain the first few years, but during fourth year I could see Draco had become…more attractive. At first I thought it was just a phase I was going through, but then when fifth year came along I saw a change in him. Even as he was in Umbridge's squad he sort of looked…hesitant."

"Hesitant?" Snape.

"He may have been harming other students, but each time Umbridge was around. When she wasn't he sort of just…taunted everyone but not harm."

"Because I didn't want to, I only joined because all my friends told me it would be best to keep Father's reputation intact. They didn't want to either, but only because of their parents they joined."

"And then it wasn't until five months ago was I sure I wanted to be with him. When I saw that he was actually capable of harboring emotions, and he opened up to me I knew I cared for him."

"And you've been in a relationship since, you decided to take things slow I presume?" Harry and Draco nodded. "When do you plan on telling your friends Harry?"

"Soon, but before get into that Lucius' letter mentioned something about his living arrangements?"

"Ah yes…well Severus and I both discussed and we think that since Malfoy Manor is no longer safe, nor is Spinner's End, I would say that Lucius will have to stay at Grimmauld Place with Severus." Harry's eyes widened.

"But Professor Sirius…!"

"I've already discussed it with Sirius and Remus Harry, they've agreed though Sirius did take a little convincing. That's why over the break I'm letting you and Draco go to Grimmauld Place to see them and work this out."

"Break?"

"It's new, due to recent circumstances all students are going away for a week and a half break. It will give you time to spend with Lucius and Severus, if you're going to get to know Draco more then you might as well get to know his family."

"I will, now when is the break?"

"It starts in two days, the bulletin will be up for the other students to see. I want you and Draco to meet me here when the others leave and I'll floo you to Grimmauld Place. In the mean time I suggest you find out how to tell your friends Harry." Harry nodded, he figured if he at least could enjoy break he'd feel a lot better if he got this huge secret off his chest.

"I'll tell them tomorrow morning, we don't have classes then."

"Good, and good luck Harry, Draco." Harry shook hands with Dumbledore, Snape, and Lucius and walked out with Draco holding hands until they walked all the way down the staircase and Harry led Draco to a corner of the hallway.

"That went well don't you think?"

"I would, if it wasn't such a shock. I knew they were close but not that close." Harry laughed and kissed Draco's cheek. "What I said was true though, I lost one parent and I don't intend to lose another."

"I know, and don't worry I'll tell Ron and Hermione tomorrow. If they have a problem with us then they can just sod off." Draco laughed.

"Pansy and Blaise have my back, Crabbe and Goyle too. They support us no matter what." They kissed for a brief minute.

"It's late…we should get to bed. Your friends will worry." Harry smiled. Draco had stopped calling Ron and Hermione names, but he only went by their last names still.

"You know what, they know I stay out late so…let's just crash in the Room of Requirement." Draco's eyes narrowed a bit.

"Are you sure? I mean you know what Granger will do if you don't tell them…" Harry pulled out his wand and pointed it past Draco.

"Expecto Patronum." His stag patronus appeared. "Tell Ron and Hermione I'll be crashing in the room of requirement, I need air and have a lot on my mind right now." The patronus flew off. "Satisfied?"

"I suppose." They walked away back towards the Room of Requirement and the door appeared to them. The room had changed to where there was a large double bed in the middle of the room and a bathroom with a shower; it also had clean uniforms out for the next day.

"You go shower first, I'll wait." Draco shook his head.

"I took one this afternoon I'm fine." Harry shook his head.

"I'll take one tomorrow morning, I'm exhausted." He kissed Draco's lips and raked his fingers in his blonde hair. Their tongues battled for dominance in each other's mouths and soon Harry led Draco to the bed before putting him on his back.

"Mmm…Harry…" Draco moaned and started to push Harry back. "No…" Harry stopped and pulled away.

"Sorry. Couldn't help myself." He saw Draco's cheeks turn red and kissed both before pulling off his shirt. "Let's get some rest, it's almost after eleven." Draco pulled his shirt off and tie before taking the left side of the bed and Harry took the right. He put his arms around Draco's waist and snuggled his face into Draco's neck.

"Goodnight Draco." He kissed his neck.

"Goodnight Harry." Within minutes both boys fell asleep, thinking about what would await them the next day.

Next morning:

Harry woke up to Draco's light snoring in his ear. He checked the clock and saw it was past eight, so breakfast would begin soon; Harry kissed Draco's cheek and took the Gryffindor uniform into the bathroom. The shower cut on for him and he discarded the clothes he wore from the previous night.

'This feels nice.' He let the warm water relax his muscles and washed his hair after taking off his glasses and placing them on the sink. Now all he had to do was try and figure out what to say to Hermione and Ron.

As soon as he finished the shower he dried off and put on the uniform. He combed out his hair and washed his face when a loud bang was heard outside.

"WHERE IS HE?" it was Ron. Harry ran out with his shirt and wand in hand when he saw an angry Ron and a freaked out Hermione cornering Draco on the bed.

"Ron!" Harry jumped in front of Draco pointing his wand at Ron. "What're you doing here I told you I'd see you at breakfast?"

"What's he doing in here?" Ron pointed at Draco who was glaring at the two.

"Ron please…what he means Harry is that we were coming to see you but when Ron saw you walking in the corridor with Malfoy on the map…" Harry cut her off.

"The map? You were spying on me through my dad's map!"

"We had to, you haven't exactly been truthful with us otherwise you'd have told us why you're associating with the ferret!" Ron roared at him.

"Don't call him that!" Malfoy stood up and pulled on a shirt.

"You know I'm right here Weasley, if you have a problem with me then say it to my face." Harry held him back.

"Listen Ron, I was going to tell you this morning but seeing as you've already come I can say it now." He took a deep breath and looked directly at them. "Draco and I are together." Their eyes widened.

"Together…y-you're…Harry you're gay?" Hermione.

"Yes Hermione I'm gay, have been for years now."

"You can't be gay you're supposed to be with Ginny!"

"Ginny and I were never getting together Ron! Look I like your sister but she's not my type."

"Your type, oh are you into death eaters now Harry? You prefer evil over good?"

"No Ron! And Draco's not a death eater he never took the mark!"

"But his dad's a death eater! You're associating with serpent scum!"

"Don't say anything against my father Weasley!" Ron was about to get in Draco's face but Hermione got in the way.

"Ron don't! Let's just stop and talk about this for a minute…" Ron looked at her stunned.

"Hermione don't tell me you actually agree with all this? He's the Boy-Who-Lived not some poofer into blokes!"

"You can't tell Harry how to live his life Ron, and right now you need to go. You're too angry to listen so go onto breakfast and let me talk with Harry and Malfoy alone."

"NO! I'm not leaving you alone with them!"

"Ronald Bilius Weasley go to breakfast NOW!" Hermione shouted so loud even Draco covered his ears. Ron growled at Harry and Draco but left anyway. Hermione looked at him with concern and then looked back and forth between him and Draco.

"I can't say I agree with this Harry, but if you're willing to talk I'm willing to listen. How long have you been together?"

"Five months, and before you say anything Hermione I was going to tell you but I had to wait until Draco had the courage to tell his father."

"And did he take it well?" Harry nodded. "Really?"

"Yeah, turns out he's a spy for Dumbledore just like Snape." Hermione smirked a little.

"Well that's one good thing, and like I said Harry it will take me a while. I'm willing to get to know Draco because I agree that Ron can't tell you how to live your life. You deserve to be happy, and if Mal-Draco can do that for you then I'll try and get along with him." Harry was glad, at least Hermione was open-minded on this.

"Thanks Hermione." He looked at Draco.

"Thanks….Granger."

"I'll see you two later then, but keep a heads up when the others find out. It will get nasty and you know it."

"I'm not worried about the Slytherins, they know about us." Harry said and put an arm around Draco kissing his cheek.

"See you then." She smiled and left.

"Glad to see Hermione's come around a bit."

"Well she is the smartest in our year, at least she thinks about everything besides herself." Harry smiled.

"I'm sorry about Ron…"

"I'm not scared of Weasley, nor his sister. Now let's get dressed I'm starving." They finished getting dressed and walked hand in hand to the Great Hall, getting many gasps from other students and a loud shriek from the Gryffindor table.

The drama is starting, but it won't stop there. I did say minor bashing, but who knows? Reviews are nice, and I do have this planned out but I do like to hear what my viewers want to see. Say if you want me to bash someone besides the ones I have in mind, I'm all ears. If not I'll continue with the original plan.

R&R

Later!
