Chapter 1: Harry groaned into the warm, naked body that lay next to him as a hand softly stroked his back. “I wish it wasn’t like this.” The body whispered. “It will get better. I promise.” Harry whispered back, “But we both know the risks.” The body didn’t answer but stopped his stroking and cuddled closer now resting his arm over the lean body that lay before him. After several minutes Harry spoke. “Draco? You awake?” “Mmhmm” he mumbled. “I have to get going. Hermione will tell if I don’t come back tonight.” “Okay, Fine.” Draco said sitting up and grabbing his gray T-shirt that lay discarded at the bottom of the bed. Harry climbed out while looking around for his clothing, spotting his trousers haphazardly laying near the door and his tie hanging from the bedpost he began to get dressed. “I’ll see you tomorrow, same time then.” Harry said leaning in and giving Draco a short yet fiery kiss. “Bye.” He faintly heard Draco’s goodbye as he slipped out the door only to encounter three of his boyfriend’s roommates. Blasie, Crabbe and Goyle all sat facing the door looking as though they had been trying to get into the warded room for quite a bit. “About time.” Blaise said smirking as he got up and headed in the room Harry just left. Crabbe and Goyle followed suit leaving Harry to exit the Slytherin common room by himself. He slid on his invisibility cloak just to be sure he wouldn’t encounter any other housemates of Draco’s. He exited the dungeons and headed to the Gryffindor tower. Once inside the safety of his house he removed the cloak only to realize it was too soon. His bushy hair friend stormed her way over to him in a matter of seconds. “Harry James Potter! Where do you keep going every single night?” she shouted, as Harry glanced around the common room and to his relief, found it empty besides his best mate sleeping on the sofa with his Transfiguration book on his chest. “Oh, hanging out with the Slytherins.” He said smirking because he knew that Hermione wouldn’t believe it anyways. “That is not funny! I am a prefect. I should take points, report you to McGonagall, report you to the headmaster!” She shouted effectively waking Ron up. He sat up looking confused for a minute then spotted them and walked over. “Hermione leave Harry alone. He’s got to have a good reason.” Ron said. “He’s probably been shagging someone, sure looks like it.” “I have not. Just leave me alone, ever since the beginning of this year you have been on me. And it may be hard for you to understand, but this year isn’t going so poorly, yeah, Sirius is dead, I understand that but Snape and I worked on that…” Harry yelled out before promptly shutting his mouth. Now it was Ron’s turn to look angry. “Snape? What are you doing with him? Oh god, your shagging Snape.” His eyes got huge as he paled. “Ronald, don’t be stupid. Harry isn’t shagging anyone, and if he was, it wouldn’t be a professor. That’s against the rules.” Hermione said in her matter of fact tone. “Since when does he follow the rules?” “Hello? I’m standing right here.”Harry said but his comment went unnoticed as his friends bickered on. “Harry obviously doesn’t follow rules, but Snape would not put himself in danger by shagging a student, ANY student, least of all The Boy Who Lived!” She huffed, glared at Ron then stormed off to the girl’s dormitory. Ron appeared to have forgotten that Harry was still there as he too stomped off but in the opposite direction to the 6th year boy’s dormitory. Harry sat down on the couch that Ron was sleeping on just 5 minutes before and thought about how he was going to tell his best friends, he was in love with their enemy since 1st year. Two months ago, Harry was getting on the train, Hermione and Ron ventured off for prefect duties so he looked around for an empty compartment. The very last one was open so he opened the door, sat down and pulled out the Daily Prophet. HARRY POTTER, YOUNGEST BACHELOR. Harry Potter who will begin his 6th year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has been named the most eligible bachelor. His love life, which is rumored to include dozens of little thrifts with the young ladies with whom attend the same school, is bound to get more exciting as his young years progress. Harry sighed and leaned his head against the window. His kiss with Cho, where she had been crying, was the only ‘young lady’ that he experience with. Young men on the other hand had more of a list than one single kiss from one single bloody girl. He decided he was gay when during 5th year, and his flamingly gay roommate Seamus was there to offer help in the ways he needed. After his one night with Seamus, he decided he was gay, but despite Seamus’s offer, Harry stilled liked him better as a friend. Harry soon found he was seeking out random bed partners but was, according to Seamus, limited to Slytherins. After a two month secret relationship with Blaise, Harry had gotten very use to spending the time in the dungeons. But once Draco found out it went downhill from there. Harry had already found out too many things he shouldn’t have from hiding in the boy’s dormitory, sedated from amazing sex, under his invisibility cloak. Draco was furious with Blaise but then began to accept Harry being there. He would rather know than not. Harry had found out that Blaise, Draco, Crabbe and Goyle were all opposed to Voldemort’s ideas and Draco and he had become friends. Too good of friend when one day he went to see Blaise, but he wasn’t there and found himself alone with Draco, he was surprised when he and Draco had just been sitting around waiting for Blaise, and Draco kissed him. He hadn’t even known Draco was gay. Blasie didn’t even find out but soon Harry had got whisked away by the vision from Voldemort and with the death of Sirius, Harry fell apart, breaking it off with Blaise and shutting himself up for the remainder of the year. Over the summer Harry spent the beginning at the Dursleys who were more than happy to work him hard knowing that his law breaking god-father was dead. After his allotted time there Dumbledore allowed Harry to move to the Weasley’s for the rest of the summer, and as it turned out Charlie was home from Romania as well. Harry had spent the first night at the Burrow outside for hours until Charlie came out and got him. Harry was lonely enough to kiss his best mates brother, without even knowing his sexual preference. That one night of depression turned out to be a late summer relationship that was again hidden from everyone in the family in fear that Molly would make it end sooner than it had too. Then he departed the Weasley household and encounter Draco on the train, he had ventured, with Crabbe and Goyle guarding, into the compartment and proceeded to become what Blaise and Charlie once were. At first it hurt. He didn’t want to get into something again; he was so tired of hidden relationships. All he wanted was a normal life, where nothing had to stay a secret because others might be killed or abandoned. Standing up from the couch, Harry walked up the narrow spiral staircase to the boy’s dormitory. The soft snores from his year mates confirmed that they had forgotten about him, he climbed in bed, thinking of how nice it felt to have Draco’s seekers body curled up with his. With that image in his head, he slowly drifted off to sleep. A/N- Please Review! ***** Things Change ***** Disclaimer- Not my characters, just playing with them. :) Chapter 2: Things Change. “Harry, wake up mate.” Ron said from a mere foot away. “Don’t want to miss breakfast.” Harry could hear the grin in his voice. “I’m up, rough night last night.” Harry responded as he got up and headed towards the loo. “Yeah, sorry mate, I get so mad at Hermione that I forget things sometime.” Ron blushed and looked down. “It’s okay.” The boys finished their morning routine in silence then headed down to the common room. They spotted Hermione and Ginny walking towards the portrait and Harry gave a small wave only to be ignored by the elder girl. Ginny shrugged when he sent a questioning look then followed Hermione out into the corridor. Ron and he followed shortly after them heading to the great hall for breakfast. Upon arrival, Harry subconsciously searched out Draco only to find that he wasn’t there. Sitting down next to Dean and Seamus, they filled their plates and began to talk about the upcoming Hogsmeade weekend. “Ron, aren’t your brothers opening a shop up in Hogsmeade soon?” Dean asked. “Yep. But not till around thanksgiving.” He mumbled around the scrambled eggs in his mouth. “Ronald, nobody wants to see the food in your mouth.” Hermione piped up from her spot next to Ginny. “It’s gross.” “You’re not my mum.” He grumbled. “It is gross though dear brother.” Ginny commented from the seat beside Dean. Ron ignored them and went back to eating his food in silence. Just as they were about to leave the great hall, Draco stormed in, completely livid about something. Draco stalked over to the Slytherin table, whispered into Blaise ear then huffed and sat down. Blaise looked around the Great Hall in search of Harry and found him rising from the table, but glancing at Draco. Blaise nodded to Harry then grabbed Draco and dragged him out of the Hall. “Uh, I have to go back to the tower, I forgot my Potions book.” He commented to Ron, and then left before he could respond. Instead of heading towards Gryffindor he wandered to the Room of Requirements. Finding it in use he tries the door, found it unlocked then entered the room. He quickly found himself wrapped in the arms of a ranting blonde. “How could he just pop up like this? I haven’t seen him since the summer; I haven’t even had any correspondence with him.” Draco ranted, while Harry looked beyond his angry boyfriend to raise an eyebrow at Blaise. Blaise mouthed ‘Lucius’ with a very disapproving look on his face. Draco pulled away and began pacing back and forth, as Harry sat himself next to Blaise. “How’d you get away from the reformed duet?” He whispered to Harry. “Left my potions book in the tower.” He responded then directed a question at his ranging lover. “What does he want?” “He said that my aunt is ill. But I think that he wants me home to keep an eye on me. He said that the lack of owls is alarming mother, who could care less because she’s too involved with Nathaniel to notice anything amiss.” Draco responded starting to sit down next to Harry before jumping back up as though hit with a stinging hex. “Besides, I don’t want to leave Hogwarts; he’s going to make me take the mark.” “We won’t let him take you. Snape won’t. Anyways it will make it look suspicious, taking you out during the year.” Harry said while pulling Draco down into his lap. “When this started, I promised to keep you safe.” He stated then placed his lips on Draco’s. As they melted together, the other issues seemed to fade away. Draco groaned against Harry’s lips and his hands carded through the thick, messy locks of black, while callused hands slid under his shirt. “Still here.” Blaise said with amusement in his voice. Startled, the boys pulled away from each other, looking into the others eyes with obvious lust. “Well, I guess I’ll be going now.” He said, as the hormonal teens gained more control of themselves. “No,” Harry said shaking his head as Draco countered with a “Yes.” Draco glared at his rumpled lover. “Let’s figure out what we are going to do about Lucius, and then we can see about passionate sex.” “Do I get some too?” Blaise asked hopefully. “If you can find yourself some random hook up you might get something but it isn’t going to be from either of us.” Draco said then he started possessively taking a hold of Harry’s chin and kissing his soft lips thoroughly. “Again, still here.” Blaise said after a couple seconds. This time Harry pulled away, blushing. He stood up, causing Draco to be dumped on the floor and then sat in an opposing chair. Draco attempted to sit in his lap but Harry pulled his legs up underneath him so there was no room for his delectable boyfriend. Draco huffed while sitting down next to his best friend. “Okay, so why don’t we go see Snape tonight after curfew? Make sure he knows what’s going on and make sure that we can come up with a legitimate reason as to why you have to stay here.” Harry suggested. “You know Snape’ position, he can’t stand up to father.” “You’re his godson; he is supposed to protect you when your parents aren’t.” “Yeah but that puts him in danger!” “Look, he knows what he doing. He will help up. He will convince the headmaster to intervene, or talk to Lucius and prevent him from looking suspicious.” “But it’s not worth the risk. I’ll owl father and tell him that I’ve decided to befriend and shag Potter in order to be protected from the crazy madman that he bows before!” Draco shouted. “That should go over very well.” “Draco, don’t mad. I don’t want you to write him, that’s why I am suggesting we talk to Snape. He can help.” “But I don’t want him to get hurt,” he whispered. “If I just owl father it will be best.” “We will go to Snape’s private office just before curfew. Talk to him. If you still want to send a letter to Lucius then you can do it tomorrow.” “Okay?” Harry questioned. Draco nodded. Harry turned towards Blaise. “You too.” “I’ll be there. But Harry you might want to get going. Or you are going to completely miss Potions class and lose tons of points from Gryffindor. “I’ll go, but it doesn’t matter, I’ll walk in that class room and get 20 points off for being late, and another 20 for not having my Potions text.” “Here is mine.” Draco said handing his over. “Snape won’t care that I’m not there once I explain tonight. Try to warn him we are coming.” “Yes dear.” Harry laughed, he grabbed the book and dashed out of the Room of Requirements, he didn’t stop moving until he got to the dungeon classroom. He slowly opened the door and the heads of everybody in the class looked at him. Hermione looked severely disappointed but he wasn’t about to pay too much attention to that as a silky voice barked out. “20 points from Gryffindor and stay after class Mr. Potter so you can explain why you were absent from the first half of the class which you felt was unnecessary to attend.” He lightly sneered. “And I expect to have 12 inches on my desk next class about the Caerula Sanguis potion. I want this on my desk before the start of class so that means you must be here early, I know that will be hard for you.” “I’ll get it to you sir.” “Good. Now take your set and watch Ms. Granger. Any guesses as to where Mr. Malfoy is?” “No Sir.” Harry said. He was quite sure he saw amusement in his professor’s gaze. “Had I not known your history with the boy, I would assume that there is a reason for you both being late to class frequently enough. However, I know that is not something that needs to be kept an eye on.” He smirked as Harry blushed. Luckily, the class had gone back to their work, everybody that is besides Hermione, who, for the first time, was completely baffled with Snape’s subtle attitude change towards her friend.   Please Review!
