As expected, Harry met Ron right outside the Quiddich pitch and they headed back, not even daring to imagine what would have happened if Ron had walked in on that scene.

They visited Hermione the next day and found a note in her palm explaining that there was a basilisk in the chamber of secrets. Even petrified, Hermione managed to be brilliant.

They'd overheard a conversation that implied Ginny had been taken, without really meaning to and had decided immediately to go and find her.

Harry owled Draco and headed out to find the chamber of secrets with Ron and Professor Lockhart whom they'd blackmailed, or coerced, into joining them.

The next morning at breakfast, Draco kept staring at the Gryffindor table until Pansy whispered: "He's not here Draco. You can eat. When he comes, I'll let you know"
How annoying! Draco thought. The owls came, and to his surprise, he had mail. He saw a very red drawing of a heart beating wildly at the back of the letter and knew immediately that it was Harry. Only Harry would be so stupid as to send him a letter with a suggestive red heart beating wildly while cupid stood ready to shoot an arrow into it. Damn Gryffindor!

He left to go and find an empty classroom. There's no way he was going to risk reading it at the Slytherin table. He tore the note open and read:

Draco,
I think we found the Chamber of Secrets and we know what's inside. Hermione says it's a Basilisk and it kills whoever sees it's eyes but we still have to go because Ginny's been taken and well, we can' just sit around and wait. I don't know if I'll survive this but Dumbledore once told me 'help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it. Please be safe. I'll miss you. Well as much as I can with death 2 seconds away...I love you.

-H

Draco sighed. That hadn't taken long. How had Harry done that? He remembers clearly McGonagall telling them they combed through the entire castle and found nothing but Harry'd found it of course. And as usual, he had to go save the world.

Harry Potter. Why did he have to fall for the idiot, of all people?

Later that day, Harry came back after one more encounter with Voldemort he could have taken a rain check on. He felt exhausted hut didn't complain when he was summoned to Dumbledore's office. They'd been talking for a while when Lucius Malfoy came in and made snide remarks. He managed to free Dobby, who had come in with the man, and it infuriated Lucius. Hell the man nearly killed him. He had to commend himself on his impeccable acting skill as he feigned surprise at knowing what family Dobby served.

Draco saw his father walking towards him, more furious than he'd ever seen him "Father, Is anything the matter?"

"You stay away from Harry Potter. Do you hear me?"

"What? Why? What did he do now?"Draco asked, somehow relieved that the idiot was still alive

"He freed Dobby"

Draco nearly smiled. "That's impossible. He can't do that. How did he do that?"

"Long story. Just stay far away from him" he said and stormed off, his cloak billowing behind him. Draco turned and headed in the direction his father had come from. He saw Harry speaking with Dobby and called out "Harry!"Harry turned around and smiled at him. They moved cautiously towards each other and kissed frantically. They pulled back "How dare you write such a letter? Draco said, almost in tears "How could you do that?"

"I'm sorry. But, I got you a souvenir" Harry said cheerily, hoping to lighten Draco's mood

"A souvenir?"Draco's face lit up. Whoo ... that worked.

"Yeah Dobby. I freed him"

"I know. My dad told me, and I'm telling you he wasn't thrilled"

"Oh your Dad just stole my thunder."

"Stole your thunder? What's that?"

"Long story"

"Okay. So how did you manage to free Dobby?"

"It's a long story"

"That's the second time you're saying that. And it's the same thing my dad told me. I need details"

"Okay. To cut a long story short, He put a journal that belonged to Voldemort in Ginny's stuff in Diagon alley so they used Ginny to do some things. When I met your dad and Dobby, I put a sock in the book and gave it to your father"

Draco nodded in understanding "so he gave it to Dobby and when he opened it, he thought it was from Father?"

"Yes. And then he tried to kill me. Oh and he said I'll meet the same sticky end my parents met"

"Don't pay him heed. It's not going to happen if we get a say in that, and we do. We can stop it" Draco smiled fondly at him, caressing his cheek. "You're very smart. And brave too" and kissed him

"Eeww...what are you doing?"Ron asked as he walked in on them, clutching his neck as if he was choking on disgust.

"Kissing" Draco replied simply

Ron turned to Harry "Do you mind telling me what's going on here mate?"

"Draco and I are seeing each other"

"Of course you're seeing-"

"He meant that I'm his boyfriend" Draco said and grinned wickedly

"But Harry, mate, you're not even gay"

"I think I am because I really love him. And it doesn't feel weird when we kiss"

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"It didn't seem important at the time. And as for me dating Draco,

"Draco?"

Harry sighed. "Malfoy. I wanted to tell you but then Hermione was petrified and Ginny went missing and it all seemed so important"

"Okay I can deal with that but answer me this truthfully" Ron said with a frown

"What?"

"Who will..." he scratched his head. "oh..How did Fred call it? Oh yes. Who's bottom?"

"Ron, we're twelve!"Harry said, blushing fiercely

"I just want to know"

"we haven't tried that yet, but I think that'll be me" Draco supplied with a blush that rivaled Harry's

"Oh that's a little calming to know" Harry smiled at Ron and kissed Draco lightly. "I have to go and bath before supper" Both Ron and Draco said "okay" Draco turned to Dobby "oh and Dobby, the next time you try to save him, don't use such drastic measures OK?"

"Ok" Dobby said and vanished

Draco turned to leave when Ron grabbed his arm "If you hurt him, I don't care how crooked or broken my wand is, I'll hex your balls so far into your stomach, Am I clear?"

"Crystal" Draco said with a grin, wondering again why it had to be Harry. But when he thought of all the people he knew, Harry seemed to be perfect in all aspects-maybe except the friends department. And at least his friends are loyal-He smiled again. Definitely the perfect one for him.

The end.
