Chapter 4: We're Off to See Dumbledore (Sneak Peek)

"What?" Draco said, disbelieving his ears. I'm hearing things, there's no way in Hades he said that back to me.

"I said I love you too, Draco" Harry whispered sleepily. I hope he believes me.

"Harry you're drunk and sleepy. You don't mean that, so please don't say it. I hate that he probably won't remember this in the morning.

"Draco, I do mean it. If you don't believe me I could show you what I wrote in my journal…" Hopefully I don't have to show it to him… There are so many embarrassing things in it.

Draco realized the brunet didn't sound all that drunk. He had assumed all the firewhiskey had made Harry sleepy, but apparently he was just tired form his day. Draco nervously bit his lip asking "You really mean it?"

"Yeah, I think I do." I hope he believes me. I can't believe I just said that, why can't' I just keep my mouth shut. He was beginning to roll out of Dracos' arms when he was held tighter.

"What's wrong" Draco inquired slowly.

"I've never really said that to anyone in a romantic sense. I never even told Ginny I loved her… it bothers me a little that you don't believe me."

"Harry I want to believe you. I just needed to know you weren't saying it just to say it back. We haven't been together for long. Falling in love isn't always easy, and it sometimes takes a while." Draco noticed that Harry blushed. I wonder what he's hiding. "Harry why are you blushing?"

Damn my flaming cheeks. I guess I better just tell him now. "Draco…. I've kind of sort of have had a small crush on you since fourth year…" Harry spoke in a rush.

"… well perhaps I kind of sort of have like you for a while" Draco said.

The couple stared at one another, both trying to figure out what to do next. Harry, gathering his courage, leaned in and kissed Draco. Before Draco could respond, the lips on his vanished. Harry lay his head back on Dracos' chest and closed his eyes.

They lay for a while, still and silent. Both realized things would be different in their relationship now. Draco grew so tired his eyes began to droop, and before falling asleep he spoke "I love you baby."

"I love you too," Harry replied in a mumble.

It was the morning after Harrys' oh so perfect birthday, and an angry owl was tapping on his bedroom window. The constant angry sound awoken Harry. He allowed the owl in taking the note. Realizing it was from professor Dumbledore he opened it immediately. It read:

Dear Mr. Potter,

Because of the mateship between yourself and Mr. Malfoy, you two will be allowed a private room. Please floo to Hogsmeade, with all of your school supplies and I shall show you where the room is.

-Sincerely,

Albus Dumbledore

P.S. Please inform Mr. Malfoy I need to speak to him privately.

Harry grabbed his wand and lit the letter aflame, this encouraged the owl to attack him. He screamed as the owl tried to peck his eyes out, in his panic he dropped his wand.

Draco was awaoken by the screaming. "Harry BLODDY Potter, there better be a damn good reason why you're screaming this early in the morning." Draco looked from under his blanket, noticed the owl attacking Harry and began to laugh hysterically.

"DRACO stop laughing and help me!"

Draco stumbled from the bed and to Harry's trunk. Once there he removed a handful of Hedwigs' treats, and tossed them out the window. The owl flew after them and Draco quickly closed the window. With a smirk on his face, the sat on the bed and giggled.

"The owl attacked me because it wanted treats?!" Draco nodded. Harry flopped down next to Draco and they sat in silence. They then heard the sound of something smashing into the window, and looked over to see the bird glaring at Harry and sliding down the glass.

Draco attempted to contain his laughter but he couldn't. He laughed so hard that he fell off the edge of the bed, which made Harry laugh in return. Harry slid onto to floor and lay next to Draco.

"The owl was from Dumbledore. He said we get a private room, and he wants us to some today. He also wants to talk to you alone."

"Okay" Draco responded almost instantly.

The pair picked themselves up, showered, and got dressed, sharing may kisses in-between.

"Draco, I think I already know what Dumbledore wants to walk to you about."

"What?"

"He's going to ask you to spy on Voldemort, for the Order of the Phoenix." Harry spoke quickly while staring at his shoe, and missed Draco stiffening.

"I'll do whatever I can to help," Draco forced his reply in the calmest voice he could muster.

Harry looked at Draco quickly and noticed how tense he looked. He walked over to him, standing behind him. "Draco, you aren't going to be a spy. I don't want you to be one. I would always be worried about something bad happening to you. So just tell him no. I won't be mad if you do."

"But I want to help you."

"You can, and you will. But I don't want to be continuously worried about something happening to you and me not being there to help you." Harry responded calmly.

"Are you sure you don't-"

Draco was cut off by Harry's lips. He sure does like to kiss me to get me to stop talking…. But I guess I won't complain about that.

Harry pulled away, leaving Draco dazed. "I want to be able to do that whenever I want without having to worry about someone finding out about us."

"Okay love. We should go say good-bye to everyone."

Harry looked at the clock. It was only eight-thirty. "No, we'll leave a note. Mrs. Weasley will know when we leave. She should immediately feel the wards."

Harry quickly wrote the note, and quietly walked downstairs and left it in the kitchen. As soon as he got back to the room, he grabbed Draco and apperated them away. He wanted no one to interfere and make them stay longer. He somehow knew this day was already going to be bad and stressful enough.

When they arrived in Hogsmeade it was it was almost 9. Harry was happy it was still early. No one was up and about in the town. They walked towards Hogwarts gates hand in hand. Neither one of them spoke, they were to busy dealing with their thoughts.

I hope he doesn't think that he will always have to protect me I could handle being a spy. I hope I'm not too much of a distraction for him. I don 't want him constantly worrying about me. Merlin, I sound like a first year Gryffindor. I wonder how all of the Slytherins will take the news about me being a Veela and Harry Potter, of all bloody people, being my mate. All of Draco's following thoughts were along those lines.

I can 't believe I actually told him I loved him and that he didn't tease me about how long I've liked him. He said he liked me a long time too, so I guess he liked me even before he was a Veela. I don 't think I should leave Draco alone with Dumbledore, he might convince Draco to become a spy. I couldn't deal with that. Having to constantly worry that he's okay, that Voldemort hasn't found out and seeing him in my visions. Harry was thinking so hard that he didn't realize that he and Draco had reached Hogwarts until they heard Dumbledore open the gates.

"Hello, Mr. Potter, Mr. Malfoy." The old wizard said nodding his head at each of them. "I think it'd be best if I took you two straight to your rooms." He then stalked off into the castle. The boys followed him. He led them to a corridor near his office. "You two can choose your password, I haven't set one. This will be your portrait." He said pointing at a fairy. "Mr. Malfoy please meet me in my office in 45 minutes."

Draco looked at Harry and then at Dumbledore. "Yes sir, on one condition of course."

"What might that be?" asked Dumbledore looking a little annoyed.

"Harry can come too." Draco said looking at Harry.

"I don't think Mr. Potter would want to join us."

"Actually sir," Harry said speaking up, "I would like to. Whatever you tell Draco I'll just find out later anyway. So I might as well be there." Harry smirked at his headmaster.

The old coot thought for a moment and finally said "Fine" and stalked away, the boys in the hallway.

Harry and Draco stood there silent; until they were sure they heard the last foot-step echo away. Draco stepped up to the portrait and said, "Hello there pretty fairy." The fairy giggled and Draco continued speaking, "I'm Draco Malfoy, and this is Harry Potter. We want our password to be Woo-Hoo." Draco had given the password much though and he figured it would be the last thing anyone would suspect. "Also please make sure that you don't let anyone in who isn't with one of us, unless we tell you otherwise."

"Also can you make sure that even if you do see one of us trying to get in that we always tell you the password." The fairly nodded her head covered in light pink. "Thanks."

"Woo-Hoo," Draco said and the door flew open. He and Harry walked in.

When you first entered the room you stood in a small version of what looked like Gryffindor common room. It was all gold and red. There were even little lions on the rug that covered the floor. There were three doors in the room (not counting the door they entered threw.), one on each wall. Draco walked towards the green door. He opened the door and there was a library.

It was covered in Silver and Green. It had book-shelves towering on every wall. Each shelf covered in books. Draco though he had never seen a room filled with so many books, except for maybe the main library in Hogwarts and the ones in the manner. He walked out of the room and was Harry walking towards the white door.

Harry noticed that the room Draco had walked into was a library and knew he wouldn't be spending much time in there if possible. It be best if we didn't tell 'Monie about it. She'd never leave our room. He opened the white door and inside of it was a small kitchen. He turned towards the door to walk back out and noticed Draco standing in the door way.

"Why would they give us a kitchen when we can eat in the great hall?" asked Harry.

"Maybe they figured we might want to be able to eat alone sometimes." Draco said, and Harry blushed. He didn't know why he didn't figure that out himself.

They walked out of the kitchen and into the last room. The door to this room was gold and silver. When they walked inside, Harry noticed two things: 1) there were two beds and 2) half the room was decorated in gryffindor colors and the other half in slytherin colors. It looked horrible. Apparently Draco though so also, because as soon as he walked into the room he pulled out his wand and pointed it as the beds. He merged them it into one bed and then pointed it at the ceiling and the whole room was redecorated.

Harry had expected it to be all slytherin colors, but it wasn't. Draco had made both sides blend into each other and the room looked a lot better. "Like it?" Draco asked.

Harry nodded and then jumped on the bed, Draco sat next to him. They started making out and groping at each other like crazy, and Harry heard it, tapping on the window in the bedroom. He got up and saw the evil owl that had attacked him earlier. He already knew who the note was from and had a pretty good idea what it said.

"Draco, its time to go see Dumbledore." he said, straightening out his shirt.

Draco stood and realized that his pants had been unbuttoned and unzipped. He looked at Harry with a raises eyebrow. He fixed his closed and then walked over and kissed his blushing mate. "Let's go."

Harry and Draco stood before the eagle that marked the entranceway to the Headmasters office. "Do you know what the password is?" asked Draco.

Harry shook his head. "I don't know it, but I'll guess. Lemon drop." After he spoke the

word the eagle moved and exposed the stair case. Harry grabbed Draco's hand and they walked up the stairs.

"Come in." He spoke before they even reached the door. "Lemon drop? Tea?" he asked.

"No thank you." Harry stated.

"Tea please." Said Draco.

Harry and the blood sat down and looked away from the older wizard long enough for him to slip a small amount of a cretin truth potion into Draco's tea. He handed the blond the cup and he drank it, making a funny face while he did.

"What's your name?" the older wizard asked.

"Draconis Lucius Malfoy." Draco felt compelled to say. Slowly he realized what has happened. "I can't believe you off all people, the leader of the light, would slip someone a potion." He said, with a weird look of approval on his face.

"He did what?" asked Harry.

"I gave him a truth potion. I wanted answers from him and now I'm going to get them. Is your father a Death Eater?"

"At this very moment in time he is not." Draco said with a straight face.

"Are you going to betray Harry to Lord Voldemort?"

"No I am not." Draco said.

"Do you love Harry Potter?"

"Yea, I do." Draco said looking at Harry.

"Have you killed or tortured any muggles?"

"No I haven't."

"Do you want to join the light side?"

"I'll do whatever I have to, to keep Harry say."

"Okay Mr. Malfoy. Would you be willing to join-"

Harry had had enough and he cut off Dumbledore. "I think that's enough questions." He said threw gritted teeth.

"But Mr. Potter, this is the main question I wanted to ask him."

"I already answered that question for you and the answer is no." Harry looked Dumbledore straight into the eye. "We are going to leave now; I'm quite tired and would like to go to bed. Also if you ever slip Draco any kind of potion again I will personally make sure you never use your wand again." He said while walking towards the door. Then he added, "And I mealy-both-wands," then he waked out of the room and Draco followed him.

When he and Draco reached the room, Harry made sure his Veela was okay and then they both went to sleep, snuggled up in each others arms.

I know it's been forever and I'm so sorry. Life happened. Marriage happened. Moving happened. Getting sick happened. But I'm all better now and back to adding the chapters I already had, and new ones as well.
