It had been a week since the confession in the great hall. Zabini hadn't said a word to Draco because he simply didn't go to his dorms. To others it would seem he just disappeared, when really he had been sleeping in the Gryffindor dorms with Harry, well actually he had been sleeping under Harry's invisibility cloak. Just in case the teachers came looking for him there. Him and Harry hadn't done anything sexual and Draco felt as if it was his fault. He knew that he was the reason Harry was holding back. He wanted Harry truely wanted to be with him, but whenever he would get close to him like that he would remember his time of being tortured. He didn't mean to, and he knew Harry wouldn't hurt him but he also knew that his father was most likely still looking for him.

Harry wasn't so sure about the sex thing. What if he mistakenly hurt Harry? He didn't know how to do...that. Sure he had heard stuff about it but, he never...His aunt and uncle were paranoid of things that were different. And being like he was certainly qualified as being abnormal to them. He sighed, he didn't even know how Draco felt about that, he had never been brave enough to ask him. He smirked to himself, where was all his Gryffindor courage now? He knew he would have to ask Draco about this at one point, but until then he was perfectly content in just being with Draco.

Harry and Draco were making their way to potions class, this year the Gryffindor and Slytherin had most classes together, when Professor Snape stopped them in the hall. "Draco, Potter." He hissed. They stopped and looked at him, Draco seemed to trust him but Harry wasn't so sure. "Yes sir?" He asked, a bit nervous.

"It would seem that is wondering where Draco has disappeared to. I have bought you both some time in telling him that I have not seen him at school. But I would have to insist that you both be very careful from now on. It would not suprise me if Lucius had spies in the school to look out for Draco. If you need anything else, Draco knows where to find me." He said, the cold sneer leaving his voice whenever he spoke Draco's name, and he left. Harry would have to ask Draco why the over grown bat favored him in the fist place. He looked at Draco and noticed that his eyes were wide in fear. "Draco?" he asked, gently prodding his shoulder.

Draco snapped out of his trance and looked at Harry. The fear was still in his eyes but he managed to keep his voice calm. "Yes love?" he asked, he blinked to keep the tears of fear out of his eyes. Harry gave him a questioning look but Draco just shrugged it off. "I'm fine." He lied. Harry shook his head and looked around the hallway, noone seemed to be there so he gathered Draco in a comforting hug and Draco finally let the tears slip by from his eyes. "I'm sorry Harry, it's just.." He was cut off by Harry placing a finger over his mouth. "Shhh Dray, It's ok, I promise I won't let him hurt you. How about we blow off classes for the rest of the day?" He asked and Draco nodded.

"Harry?" He asked, unsure.

"Yes love?" He asked, one arm still wrapped around Draco as they walked back to Harry's dorm.

"I'm ready..I mean...I want to.." Harry understood what Draco was trying to say. "Are you sure?" He asked, not wanting to rush him. Draco just nodded and Harry grinned, his grip on Draco tightening as they made their way back to his room...and his bed. Harry just hoped he didn't mess this up.
