Sorry it was a little late. Had a little trouble how to end it. Here's the final chapter though.

"Bloody traitors!"

"Snakes all of them."

"Hiding in the lion's den..."

"... what were they thinking?"

"Will they ever stop?" Ron asked as he walked next to Pansy.

"Probably not," Theodore shrugged as he kept his hand intertwined with the youngest Weasley's.

"Should we care at all?"

"Of course not, this house rivalry has done nothing good in the past. Besides we're happy as we are."

"Hey Potter!" the brunet sighed as he was once again accosted by Romilda Vane and her now fiance Michael Corner.

"What now Corner?" he glared at the pair, the girl shrinking away from the intense jade orbs.

"I just wanted to ask you something." the Savior huffed angrily, they had been on their way to the library to work on their homework but now they'd been stalled. People had already begun to gather around them as his whole group glared at the other couple.

"Fine. Ask." he said as the pair stopped in front of him.

"Are you sure you want to be tied to that snake?" Damn it. The way they had dressed up the last Hogsmeade weekend had spread around the school. It had made the headmistress smile along with the other professors but it just raised unrest with the rest of the student body.

"I much prefer handcuffs but it depends on what Draco prefers to use." it seemed as if the rest of the students were sure that the four Gryffindor-Slytherin pairs would marry some time in the future, and here came the analogies. There was no reason not to have fun with them anyway.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Vane shouted angrily.

"You can't be that daft," he narrowed emerald orbs towards the annoying girl.

"Whatever." Corner scoffed, slightly unsettled by the response he had gotten. That was unexpected. "I'm just glad you've finally tamed the dragon." he grinned at his supposed victory staring meaningfully at the blond at Harry's side hoping for a reaction.

"Why tame him?" he raised a single eyebrow, face still void of any expression besides annoyance and amusement. "I like my dragons wild." he smirked inwardly at the scandalised expression on the other two while he tightened his hold on Draco's hand who in turn leant his head on his shoulder and smirked at Vane and Corner.

"I don't understand how you can associate yourself with him, he's a bloody Snake for Merlin's sake."

"What's your point?" he asked. "I'm a Parselmouth, I can communicate quite well with him." he grinned at the flummoxed stare he received as Draco leaned up to hiss into his ear as if to prove his words. "Is that all you needed?" he taunted the couple who were still staring at him in confusion. "We have somewhere to be." he walked off, the others following after him glaring at the audience they had accumulated.

"Oh God!" as soon as they rounded the corner away from the watching crowd both Blaise and Ron lost it. "That was funny as hell!" they leaned on each other for support as they guffawed happily.

"I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself," Theodore nodded his agreement. "Harry Potter has a snarky side to him."

"Yes well I'm sure we're going to see a lot more of it." Hermione said as she watched Pansy and Ginny raise their hands to their mouths to somehow stifle their giggles.

"I thought we were supposed to be doing homework?" Draco drawled in a rather bored tone of voice.

"Of course we were," Harry kissed the top of his head as he led the way once more to the library.

XoxoxoxoxoX

Dinner time came and his conversation with Corner was already the talk of the school. He heard whispers and rumors but he didn't pay attention to any of them, all he cared about was what Draco was thinking. He rushed to the Great Hall, Ron and Pansy hot on his heels. They had just come from Care of Magical Creatures, Draco, Hermione and Theodore had had Arithmancy while Blaise had a free period. He got there just in time to see Draco being affronted by another Slytherin.

"Malfoy, is it true your using handcuffs with Potter?" he held his breath as he waited for the reply, walking silently so as not to startle the blond.

"Not that it's any of your business," he smiled, the Ice Prince was back. "But no I don't. They chafe, we use silk." he smirked as the other boy paled before promptly turning away and scurrying back to his spot. Draco turned back in time to see him approach, sending him a dazzling smile.

"Silk in Slytherin and Gryffindor colors?" he asked as their gazes met, the silver eyes widening a fraction as he settled next to Draco on the Slytherin table.

"Whatever's more comfortable." he leaned to capture the other's lips in a soft kiss, smiling as he responded almost languidly. He held onto Draco's hand as he pulled back.

"You don't mind?" he asked. He was genuinely worried that the Slytherin would balk at the thought of having the whole school know about their relationship but it seemed as if Draco didn't care what the others thought.

"Do you?"

"I don't bloody well care," he punctuated his statement with another kiss, this time only breaking away due to the unmistakeable voice of one Ronald Weasley.

"Alright kids, that's enough. It's dinner time." he said in a mock scolding voice that had their little group bursting out into rambunctious laughter. They really shouldn't be having this much fun taunting the other students.

XoxoxoxoxoX

Over the course of the next two weeks their little group had been on the tail end of marriage talks and analogies about 'the ol' ball and chain' and other such nonsense but they took it all in stride. Ginny had even been at the brunt end of one particularly nasty joke.

"Hey Weasley!" Pansy stared in confusion at the boy approaching them. She didn't know him but she supposed Ginny did as she had rolled her eyes as soon as she saw the boy.

"What do you want Henry?"

"I heard you could charm snakes," this would not end well for the boy called 'Henry', Pansy thought as the redhead beside her stiffened. "Care to charm mine?" he continued with an obvious leer.

"Gin..." the Slytherin girl called out a warning to her friend. "He's not worth it." she watched as the only Weasley girl took a deep breath to calm herself then her lips split into a grin that made the Bloody Baron squeak in surprise. Pansy didn't even notice her house ghost in the area if not for the faint sound.

"I'm sorry Henry, I didn't quite hear what you said." the redhead's voice was cold as ice it sent shivers through Pansy, even as Ginny smiled sickeningly sweet at the boy. She saw in the corner of her eye Rona and Draco rounding the corner. "Could you repeat that?"

"I said, did you want to charm my one-eyed snake." he waggled his eyebrows suggestively and Pansy couldn't quite believe that the boy was from Hufflepuff judging by the badge on his robes.

"There's a snake to be charmed?" Draco and Ron had heard what was said and approached quietly behind the boy. "Should I call Harry?" he purred against the other's ear, his wand on the boy's back. "Or would you like me to take care of that for you?"

"Are you offering Malfoy?" it seemed he just didn't know when to quit and Ginny had finally lost her temper. She held onto her calm facade even as she spoke.

"You know Drake, I think you're forgetting one thing," she said in an almost non-chalant way.

"I was actually serious," Draco shrugged. "Harry's been teaching me Parseltongue."

"I don't doubt that but I think you've overlooked the fact that you're looking at the only sister of the owners of Weasley's Wizards Wheezes." she grinned full out at the blond as soon as everything clicked into place.

"Sorry then," he back away slowly, the Hufflepuff boy looking on in confusion. "I think Pansy and I will go on our way while you and your brother take care of business." he flashed Ron a look, the redhead beside him looking as angry as his sister.

"We'll be there a little late, could you tell Harry we were held up?"

"Sure Ron just don't take too long, we're still playing." Pansy said as she took Draco's offered arm.

"Of course we are Pans, wait for me will you?"

"See you soon Ron." she smiled as Draco tugged her away.

"You want someone to charm your snake, do you?" they heard the sibling say together and both Slytherins shuddered. They left as quickly as they could and met up with the rest of their group. For the next week or so "Henry, the Hufflepuff" could be seen begging Harry, Draco, Ron and Ginny to talk to his snake.

"Do you think someone helped him?" Theodore asked in a wondering tone. The boy had disappeared although he still went to classes, then he could not be seen elsewhere especially not at the Great Hall during any meals.

"Who would've?"

"Why would he stay locked up if he's been helped?"

"Actually the spell should've ended today." Ginny laid with her back against her boyfriend's chest.

"You still haven't told us what you've done?"

"It was a simple charm," Ron replied. "We made a phantom snake and sent it up his trouser legs poised to attack his bits." he grinned at the devious smiles sent his way from all Slytherins present.

"I didn't think you had it in you." Draco smirked at the redhead. "How very Slytherin of you."

"That explains why he's been begging me to "talk to the snake in his pants"." Harry shuddered visibly at the memory.

"Do you think he'll tell anyone?"

"Probably, although that might mean some more trouble for us."

"Only for a little while and then they'll see that they can't do anything that will stop us."

"Weasley!"

"Speak of the devil and he shall come." Hermione muttered under her breath, Harry laughing at the reference.

"Muggle thing." he told the rest as they looked quizzically at him while they waited for the infuriated boy to approach.

"You don't think he actually will do something do you?" Pansy asked them but shut her mouth as the Hufflepuff had already arrived.

"Weasley!" he bellowed yet again and Ron turned icy blue eyes to glare at the boy.

"What do you want?" he nearly smirked as the other flinched away but held it in.

"I wasn't talking to you."

"Well you said Weasley," Ron rolled his eyes. "There's no other Weasley here."

"I was talking to your sister."

"Oh, didn't you hear?"

"Hear, hear what?" the dark haired boy looked on in confusion. "What the bloody hell are you talking about?"

"She's not a Weasley anymore."

"What are you talking about?" the others smiled wolfishly at the confused boy as Ginny, supposedly sleeping, snuggled closer to Theo's chest.

"She's soon to be Mrs. Nott." they said in unison, the Hufflepuff staring wide-eyed at the engagement ring on the redhead's finger.

"It's another one of your tricks!" he pointed in accusation, not really sure who he was pointing at.

"If you would just look closely she is also wearing the Nott family crest around her neck." Hermione pointed out.

"Your mother would never approve!"

"And how do you know she wouldn't?" Harry asked. "Mum actually thought it was great. She wanted a Christmas wedding for them."

"Mum? Potter, why are you calling Mrs. Weasley Mum?"

"Because I'm his son, why else would I call her Mum?" the green eyed boy asked as if he was dumb.

"S-s-s-son?"

"Don't you own a dictionary? I thought you would be smarter than this."

"Well he is in Hufflepuff, they're known for their loyalty not intelligence." Draco pointed out rather rudely.

"I thought he at least had a little common sense." Harry replied holding his boyfriend closer to him as the blond sat in between his legs. He settled his chin on the Slytherin's shoulder, Draco leaning his back on his Gryffindor's chest and pressing his arse into his boyfriend's groin.

"How much common sense does one who openly makes suggestive comments towards the youngest siblings of the greatest pranksters since the Marauders?" Harry couldn't answer, he was too busy biting his lip to stifle his moans as his partner continued to tease him. Hermione smirked as she watched through her peripherals, she knew what the blond was doing.

"Don't ignore me!" the Hufflepuff bellowed.

"Leave us alone."

"Go away." were the answers he received.

"Not bloody likely," he smirked down at them, Hermione returning the look with a devious twinkle in her eyes.

"Are you sure about that?"

"You can't do anything to me Granger. You wouldn't risk getting a black list on your record."

"I won't," she agreed.

"Who's to say we wouldn't?" he found himself at the wrong end of at least four different wands. The annoying git paled before running off leaving his audience laughing loudly at him.

"Dragon, please stop." Harry whispered amidst the chuckles of their friends.

"Why? You know you like it." Draco replied as he ground his hips harder against his boyfriend's already raging length.

"Stop, please."

"Draco would you mind helping me with something?" Hermione's voice cut through their talk.

"Sure Hermione," Draco heard his boyfriend's groan of dismay when he actually stopped his ministrations.

"It's about the Runes and Arithmancy homework." Theodore raised an eyebrow as did Blaise. Theodore was with both in Arithmancy while they had Blaise with them in Runes, neither one remembered any such work given to them.

"Oh, which one?"

"You know the problem we've both been having trouble in?"

"The third question where you have to put both subjects to use?"

"Yeah that one, I think I may have found out how to answer it but I need your help with some of the Runes."

"Alright we can go see them now if you like."

"Really? That would be great but I wouldn't want to keep you from anything."

"That's alright," he turned to kiss his panting boyfriend's forehead. "I'll see you at dinner Love."

"See you later my prince," Hermione kissed Blaise on the lips before taking Draco's offered arm and the two sauntered off.

"Ron, I think Harry's got a little problem." Ginny snickered as she watched the brunet roll over so that he was lying on his stomach.

"I'll have you know Gin, while I do have a problem it is by no means little." the group was once more sent into fits of laughter at his muffled voice.

"I don't doubt that." Pansy said with an obvious leer, garnering shocked looks from her friends.

"Pans?" Ron asked her girlfriend.

"Don't get me wrong Ron, I don't like Harry that way but you have not seen Draco after one of their dates. You've gotta admit it's hot."

"Please, I have no problem with them I'd rather not have those images in my head."

"Draco and I haven't," Harry said rather sullenly.

"Never?"

"Not even once?"

"Are you sure you're dating Draco?" Blaise asked in surprise.

"Yes we've never slept together and yes I'm sure I'm dating Draco." he rolled his eyes though he still couldn't be seen. "He always pulls away when things get too heated." he told them. "So I don't push."

"Oh my," Pansy held a hand to her hand as she fought to hide her smile. "You're so sweet Harry."

"Now if only I'm not so frustrated I might be as happy as all of you."

"Too bad mate, cockblocked by a book." Ron smirked at his friend's back sending their friends into another round of laughter at the expense of the green eyed Gryffindor.

XoxoxoxoxoX

Draco stepped back into his room after a long luxurious shower. It had been two weeks since they had announced Ginny and Theodore's engagement. Sixteen days since he started to tease his boyfriend and only a full day since he decided what his Christmas present would be. He jumped in surprise when his bedroom door slammed close to reveal his sexually frustrated Gryffindor.

"Hello Dragon," the blond swallowed at the sight of the darkened emerald orbs. The beautiful eyes twinkling dangerously in the dim lighting of his room. "Do you have any idea what you do to me?" he shivered visibly when those jade pools ran down his bare chest and stared pointedly at the towel he had slung haphazardly on his hips. His cock twitched with interest, breath hitching when the lion smirked smugly at him. "Three months Dragon." the brunet stepped closer to him, legs striding with intent. "Teasing me, taunting me with this hot little body of yours." his voice was deep and husky, washing over the blond like velvet. "I've been patient for so long," he was there holding the cloth covered hips, pulling the blond's lean body against his own fully clothed one. "But I don't think I'll be able to wait anymore." there was a flash of pain in his favourite jade orbs and Draco smiled softly.

"I love you Harry," he whispered as his arms crawled their way to the taller male's neck, fingers delving into the inky locks as he pulled the Gryffindor's head down for a kiss. He moaned when their lips met, pulling himself flush against Harry's hard body as his boyfriend licked his lips to gain entrance. He submitted willingly to the ministrations, shuddering when the calloused fingers grabbed at his arse and squeezed. With a sigh he pulled back slightly panting for air as he did so. "Take me." if possible, those emerald eyes darkened further, the pupils dilating until there was only a ring of green around the black center. Harry pushed their lips harder, tugging on the knot of the towel so that it fell to the floor then pushing Draco in the direction of the bed as the blond began to pull his shirt off.

"Draco please tell me you're sure." Harry held the wandering hands still, his shirt had just fallen to the floor and his boyfriend had been in the process of taking his pants off when he stopped him. The Slytherin smirked smugly at him before dropping on his knees and pulling down his jeans with his boxers. The brunet kicked them off and moved to pull the blond up but hissed in pleasure when he was taken into the hot mouth. "Draco." he moaned as his boyfriend's tongue flicked against his slit, hands on his thighs to support the kneeling boy and then he was swallowed to the heat, the head of his cock bumping against the back of his dragon's throat. "Gods Dragon, please..." he moaned in dismay when the blond pulled his mouth off with a pop and rose to kiss him. He was pulled onto the bed, on top of his partner and he smiled at the rosy flush on the pale boy's cheeks.

"Harry..." pale pink lips descended on the waiting mouth, teeth clashing, tongues dancing in a rhythm of their own. Hot open mouthed kissed trailed along the pale boy's chin, down to his neck where they placed nibbles and nips until there was a blazing red track of marks left. "I want you." he moaned when his boyfriend bit gently on a pebbled tip, tweaking its twin while one hand danced down his stomach to grasp at his hardened member. "Gods I want you." he whispered into the darkness as Harry's lips reached his stomach, tongue dipping into his navel, lips nipping gently on the skin until he was face to face with Draco's erection. Molten silver met darkened jade, a slow smirk settling over the tanned boy's almost feral features as he took the head of Draco's cock into his mouth and sucked. "Fuck!" the blond arched off the bed as the pleasure crashed over him, head thrashing side to side, hands fisting the sheets when Harry took him further into his mouth. His tongue felt smooth against his heated flesh and all he could do was moan his appreciation. He hissed softly when a lone finger breached his entrance, eyes flashing open in surprise when his partner stopped all movement to watch his reaction. Their eyes met once more, one imploring another in curiosity. "Please." he nodded his blond head, the brunet smiling around his cock before wiggling the finger inside him until it pressed against his prostate and he raised his hips again.

"You're so hot Draco." Harry's voice rumbled through his chest, the vibrations going straight to the blond's cock as another finger was slipped into him.

"Gods yes, right there Harry!" he begged as the slender appendages stretched his untouched hole. He'd never been a bottom, always a top, but for Harry he'd do anything. His breath hitched when another finger joined the two within him stretching him for something he knew was much bigger. "Harry please..." with another harsh suck the Gryffindor pulled off of him and crawled back up to capture his lips in a searing kiss as he positioned himself right at the blond's prepared entrance. He stared lovingly at the silver eyes waiting for the okay to proceed. He was pulled down into another kiss, legs wrapping around his waist and locking at the ankles as Draco's reply. He nodded at his brunet lover, eye contact never waning as he thrust in slowly, breath hitching as he was filled.

"Draco." the brunet moaned when he was swallowed to the hilt, stopping briefly to savor the moment and let his partner adjust to the intrusion. "You feel so good." he whispered against the blond's ear, teeth catching the fleshy lobe and nibbling gently as he waited for Draco's breathing to calm.

"Move," the one word order had him smirking as he pulled out only to thrust back in, hitting Draco's prostate as he did. He showered the pale expanse of skin with his affections, teeth leaving their imprints on the previously unmarred skin as he continued to pull out and push into his eager lover. "Harry!" he keened loudly through a particularly hard thrust that had him seeing white spots. "Gods Harry, more." he moaned as a calloused hand grasped at his straining length to tug gently while his lover peppered his chest with open mouthed kisses. "Close, so close." he held onto the broad shoulder, fingers raking over the muscled back as he chanted his lover's name.

"Cum for me Dragon." Harry's voice shot through his loins, the hand on his cock gripping strongly as his prostate was hit one more time before he tipped over the edge, splattering his essence onto his lover's hands and his own stomach, ripping Harry's orgasm from him as his arse clenched around his shaft. The brunet spilled his seed into his lover, rocking slowly as they rode out their high. He settled himself on his elbows, looking down at his panting lover who smiled up at him, his attention taken briefly by something hovering above them both.

"Happy Christmas Harry." Draco smirked at the sprig of mistletoe floating above them, pulling him down for another kiss. "I love you."

"I love you too." Harry whispered against his lips, rolling them over so that the blond lay on top of him. He listened to his lover's quiet breathing, relishing in the slow rise and fall of the other's chest against his. His mind contemplating the events that brought them there. Draco used to be the Ice Prince, the Slytherin Sex God. He used to be able to take anyone he wanted to his bed without so much as a smile and yet he had fallen for the Saviour through his own jealousy. Who knew he had such a Slytherin streak in him? He chuckled lowly at his own thoughts, hugging his lover closer to him even though they were still so intimately connected. His thoughts strayed to the past two weeks, the teasing touches, the smouldering looks and the heated kisses they had shared but then Draco would abruptly pull away making one excuse after another as to why they couldn't continue. He just knew Hermione had something to do with it, perhaps she had told him how Harry had played on Draco's jealousy to get him? Right now he didn't care, he had his silver eyed lover in his arms and he wasn't going to let go.

"Happy Christmas indeed." Predatory prey, oh the irony.

So, love it, hate it? Tell me what you think please?
