Glad you all liked the love in the last chapter cuz there's more to come throughout the story, even with the rest of the couples if you wish it. This is where they return to Hogwarts and some more drama comes up with Ron and Ginny.

Enjoy!

Grimmauld Place:

It was the morning they were returning to Hogwarts, and not everyone was ready to go. Hermione had come the night before since she didn't want to go alone without George, and she was already acting depressed without him.

"Hmmm." She kept saying and it was going on since everyone went down to eat breakfast.

"Hermione would you please cheer up already that 'hmm' is annoying!" Harry.

"Don't be mean Harry she's just in vacation withdrawal." Remus said and Hermione looked up from her untouched plate.

"Thank you Remus."

"You're welcome."

"I'm just saying I don't like seeing her this way." He turned to her. "I know you'll miss him Mione but you can write him, and don't worry about Ron he can't do anything about it."

"I know but it's gonna be so long before I see him again." Harry heard Severus chuckle.

"Ms. Granger I had to wait five months before Lucius came back, if I can survive that I'm sure you can survive until Christmas break." Harry watched Hermione's face brighten up a bit as she watched Lucius kiss Severus gently.

"Not at the table!" Draco groaned. "If you don't mind I'd like to digest my food before we go back to school." The two older men chuckled.

"Funny how you and Harry don't mind snogging in the hallway where everyone can hear you." Sirius chuckled.

"Hear us?"

"The little moans and cries you make." Harry about dropped his fork.

"We didn't make any moans and cries what're you talking about?" he saw Sev and Lucius blushing. "Wait that was them!" he pointed at them.

"At least we don't scream." Lucius pointed at Remus and Sirius.

"Ok that's enough!" Hermione held up her hands. "I'm feeling a lot better now." She wasn't lying, Harry caught her giggling at the accusations.

"Finish up kids, it's already a quarter til ten." They had to leave at ten to get to the station, but sadly Lucius and Severus couldn't accompany them since Lucius had to stay in hiding and Severus had to head straight to Hogwarts.

They soon finished and Hermione helped Remus clean up while Harry and Draco left upstairs to make sure everything was packed. Draco's trunk was ready but Harry still had a few things to take care of, like his books.

"Harry did you forget something?" Draco held up his Potions textbook. "Slughorn wouldn't want his prize student forgetting his book now would he?" Harry laughed and took it throwing it in his trunk. He packed up the rest of his things and took out his backpack containing his robes.

"That's everything."

"And your owl?"

"She's downstairs with Hermione." Draco quirked an eyebrow.

"Are you sure you didn't forget anything?" he crossed his arms and Harry smiled giving Draco a peck on the lips. "That's more like it." They grabbed their trunks and headed downstairs, Severus and Lucius stopped them at the door.

"I'll miss you son." He hugged Draco. "Write to me when you can."

"Of course father." Draco hugged his father tightly as if it would be the last time he would see him. Harry smiled at the love between father and son, something he shared with Sirius and Remus; Lucius turned to him and held out his hand.

"This was an enjoyable visit Mr. Potter."

"Harry please Lucius." The elder Malfoy smiled.

"Watch over him."

"I shall." The two men shook hands and Harry's two godfathers came in with Hermione.

"You boys ready?" Remus.

"Yes."

"Let's go then, the cab's waiting." Typical Remus getting a muggle cab to take them to King's Cross station. They put their trunks in the trunk of the cab and took off towards the station after Remus paid the driver muggle money. The drive up was quiet for the most part, and once they reached the spot Sirius handed all three their tickets.

"Let's get going." They grabbed trollies and loaded their luggage. As soon as they reached platforms 9 and 10 Hermione went through the barrier first, then Draco, then Harry and then Remus and Sirius. The area was fairly crowded, but Ron and Ginny were nowhere in sight.

"Alright you three you'd better get onboard." Hermione and Harry hugged the two men but Draco only shook hands. "Behave yourselves."

"Bye Siri, Remy."

"Bye kids." They waved goodbye and boarded the train before finding an empty compartment.

"Well, back to Hogwarts. Think things are gonna be different?" Harry asked holding Draco's hand.

"Harry…" Hermione laughed and pulled out a book. The engine began to roar with the train and soon the doors to their compartment opened; it was Pansy and Blaise, and Crabbe and Goyle.

"Hey guys." Draco.

"Hey Draco, Harry, Hermione." The spots were full in no time. "Have a good break?"

"Fun for the most part, can't say much for the younger Weasleys." Draco answered Pansy.

"What'd they do now?"

"Made a fool out of Hermione and tried to make us look bad in front of my father, godfather, and his two godfathers." Harry.

"Let me guess, Weasley dumped you?" Blaise asked Hermione and she nodded.

"I don't really care, he's being an arse." Pansy leaned in.

"You wouldn't happen to be dating one of the older Weasleys would you?" Hermione's face turned red. "I saw you in their shop, you looked pretty cozy."

"Pansy be nice." Blaise said and Pansy laughed.

"I'm fine Blaise, I think she'd be better off with him anyway." Hermione leaned in.

"Really?" Pansy nodded.

"Yeah, I mean despite their jokester ways they're not bad. I bought a few products over break…" she reached into her bag and showed them some puking pastels, electric shock buzzers, fever fudge, and Peruvian instant darkness powder. "My parents took me shopping and I snuck away long enough to get these."

"Speaking of which, Pansy what'd your parents say when you told them you were interested in Blaise instead of Draco?" Goyle asked.

"They were disappointed at first since the Zabinis aren't as well known as the Malfoys, but after Blaise visited me during break they came around."

"Yeah, Mr. Parkinson was a bit stern but when I told him of my intentions after Hogwarts he liked me instantly. My parents aren't as rich as Draco's, but they do make a good amount of money."

"Great, I can tell you two are a good match." Harry said and Blaise put his arm around Pansy. "So what's new?" before anyone could answer the doors opened again and it was Ron and Ginny with Colin Creevey, and some Ravenclaw boys.

"So it's true." Colin. "You're with snakes now Potter, Granger?" this was the first time Harry had seen Colin get angry for anything.

"We're friends Colin, is that a problem?" Hermione.

"Guess Ron was right, a whore and a traitor among us." Hermione's face fell and tears began to flood her eyes.

"What did you call her?" Harry stood up in Colin's face and the boy backed away slowly.

"Come on guys we don't have to associate with trash." Ron said and Harry turned him around punching him across the jaw. Ron fell to the floor and the Ravenclaws pulled out their wands; Ginny slapped Harry across the face but missed as Draco grabbed her wrist.

"Don't touch my boyfriend Weaslette!" Ginny pulled away and helped Ron up.

"You'd better watch your backs Malfoy, Potter. Things are going to be very different from now on." Ron snarled.

"Oh really Ron?" they all saw Dean, Seamus, Neville, Dennis, Luna, and Cho appear with their wands drawn. "Get lost."

"Siding with traitors too are you?" Ginny sneered. "You'll pay for this Harry, I will get you back."

"Not in a million years Ginny." The redheads left but not before Hermione managed to slap Ron across the jaw.

"That's for calling me a whore." The angry group walked away and the others smiled. "Thanks for helping us out guys."

"No problem Hermione." They answered and went back into their car.

"Typical Ron and Ginny, and now they have Creevey with them." Harry sighed and let Draco kiss him.

"Don't let them get to you." He turned to Hermione. "You gonna tell George about this?" she nodded.

"I will later, he told me if Ron started anything he'd take it up himself or with Molly." She went back to her book.

"Hey Draco, how's your dad?" Crabbe.

"He's fine, he's in hiding right now but he's fine."

"You write to him?" Draco nodded. "I heard he'd been cleared by the Ministry along with Sirius Black, but they still gotta keep low since You-Know-Who's back right?"

"Yep, it's not easy but at least they're all safe." They all agreed. Harry was glad Draco's friends were true to him, all the years they'd argued and they could've been friends all along; maybe all Slytherins weren't bad after all.

Hogwarts:

They had all changed into their uniforms and as soon as they unloaded themselves off the train Hagrid came up to greet them.

"Ello Harry, Hermione!" he said as joyful as ever.

"Hey Hagrid, have a good break?" the half-giant man nodded and then looked at the group of Slytherins behind them. "They're with us."

"Oh I know, where's Ron should he be with yeh?" Harry frowned and shook his head. "Oh…well be on yer way before yer late." Hermione laughed and they went over to the carriages, loading onto the one with Luna and Neville.

"Hey guys." Neville.

"Hey." They loaded fast and Harry saw Ron and Ginny leaving on another carriage with the Ravenclaws and a couple of Gryffindors. The trip was rather quiet up to the castle, but then Pansy spoke up again.

"You two wanna sit with us from now on? At the Slytherin table?"

"That does sound good, but we need to see how things go first." Harry.

"I agree, we're not going to let Ron and Ginny scare us off like this." Hermione.

"Oh ok. Hey we're here." They pulled up to the school and walked through the doors heading for the Great Hall. They took their seats at their tables, and Harry and Hermione were joined by Seamus, Dean, and Neville.

"Nice to see this school after so long." Dean.

"Yeah, been too long." Seamus looked a little upset, and this didn't go unnoticed by Harry.

"Seamus is something wrong?" Seamus leaned into Dean, who looked over at Harry with a slight hint of sadness.

"His dad kicked him out over break." Harry's eyes widened.

"What happened?"

"I told him I was gay, that I had a boyfriend and he flipped on me." Seamus had tears in his eyes but Dean's comfort seemed to help.

"What about your mum?" Seamus gave a small smile.

"She's just glad I'm happy, I still talk to her but me dad acts like I don't exist."

"What about you Dean?" Dean shook his head.

"My mum won't talk to me, she's a heavy Christian woman so she's all about what's right and wrong in the name of God. I have my own place though, my dad left it to me."

"I'm moving in after the term's over. All my other things including some money my mum gave me for emergencies are all here." Seamus smiled.

"I'm happy for both of you." Harry smiled.

"Me too, at least someone else besides Harry has the courage to be their true self." Hermione said right before the feast began. Most of the hall was staring at Harry, but he paid no mind as all he could think about what that night he and Draco spent together; he planned to have another night like that, and soon.

"Can I have your attention please?" Dumbledore stood before everyone at the front of the hall. "First of all welcome back everyone from your little break I hope everyone's was good. I would just like to warn you that now, even as we speak, that dark forces attempt to penetrate these very walls. We are heavily protected, even at the Ministry but from what I'm seeing the Ministry has already been infiltrated."

"He's at it." Hermione.

"I know." Dumbledore was only trying to ease the students but at this rate it wasn't going to be good. Harry toned out the rest of the speech as he kept his eyes on Draco at the Slytherin table; all he could think about was that night over and over again, how his love for Draco grew, how he actually realized he wanted nothing more than to be with Draco, and how he knew he'd do anything to protect him.

'My dragon…' he could picture Draco's perfect body, his beautiful face, and his glistening eyes all laid out for him on a large double bed just begging to be taken. Harry was so wrapped in his own thoughts he didn't even realize he had a long thing of drool coming out of his mouth.

"Harry…Harry you're drooling." Hermione snapped in his face and Harry wiped his mouth getting several laughs from the others around him.

"Getting a little action there are you Harry?" Dean laughed.

"Shut up." Harry groaned and finished his food. As soon as the feast ended everyone got up and left to their houses, not before Harry managed to pull Draco aside in the corridor.

"Harry we should get to our rooms…" Harry put his hand on the back of Draco's head and pulled him in for a kiss.

"Mmm…God you taste good." Harry whispered and Draco blushed. "I wanna take you so bad right now…"

"Harry." Draco giggled as Harry's mouth trailed itself over his lips and cheek. "Not now we just got back."

"I know, but I miss you already. Being away from you for so long…" he kissed behind Draco's ear.

"Down boy." Draco pushed him away slightly. "I'll tell you what…since you're such a loverboy like me why don't we meet at the end of the week?"

"End of the week every week?" Draco nodded.

"It'll be our one night to get away from everyone, to be with each other." Harry loved how Draco's mind was a bit more intelligent than his own in love.

"Alright, think your friends can cover for you?" Harry asked and Draco nodded.

"I've covered for them on multiple occasions, Room of Requirement?"

"After dinner." They agreed and kissed again before separating to get to their houses; but sadly, neither one heard or saw a camera flash go off as they shared a kiss.

"You're going down Potter. Big time…"

Hope this one satisfies you for now. Next one has a nasty turn for our lovebirds and Hermione, but it shall be one of few that gets dramatic. Still up for suggestions if you want me to add anything.

R&R

Later!
