BTW, for those of you wondering, (because my writing style is from here on out gonna be a bit different <g>) I have been browsing in the world of real-life and other ships of fan fictional slash stories. I have met some wonderful people as well as some memorable characters in several amazing stories. (I would recommend this to anyone, writer or reader, as it really does change your perspective on slash in general, kinda gives you a more *big picture sort of view*

The things I have discovered have changed the way I look at slash writing to such a large degree, I know I'll never be the same.

I only hope from what I've read, and those emotions I've felt from experiencing those stories, that I never forget the lessons they have taught me, and in remembrance of them, I hope to share in the spirit of which they were written.

That in being, not just for pure erotic pleasure, but for teaching and learning about the human condition, something we all are searching for in some form or another, and that would be, simply, love...

Okay, you came here to read a story, here ya go, and I really hope you'll enjoy it too, and if you do, won't you kindly leave me a little review? =)

**~~** Chapter 11 **~~**

Up at the Astronomy Tower, the morning sun is now warmly kissing the skin of the two boys wrapped in a tight embrace.

A collective content sigh is heard as dark-golden-blonde and auburn hair become mingled when two foreheads lightly touch.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Ronald Weasley closes his eyes in pure bliss as he carefully re-arranges the slight frame of the handsome boy now sitting on his lap in the dusty floor of the abandoned class room that they have shared all night.

The growling of his stomach and the giggle of his new boyfriend reminds him of two things. One he was bloody hungry, and two he really now had a boyfriend.

Ron's heart almost stops at the beauty of his new loves breathtaking smile.

Mesmerized, he watches as the boy tips back his dark-blonde head, only to then roll his eyes as the lovely smile quickly melts into a Slytherin smirk.

Feeling the pull when those perfect pink lips part, he blushes and drops his intense gaze as Blaise giggles sweetly playfully teasing Ron's strong jaw lightly rubbing it back and forth with one slim finger as he states dryly,

"Sounds like I'm not the only one that's hungry huh?"

Both boys then burst into soft snickers as Blaise's tummy lets out an answering call.

Standing up gracefully, Blaise does a few light stretches, bending all the way over, touching his slim fingers from ankle to ankle.

When his shapely bum is almost bumping into the tormented boy's reddening face, Ron's hungry eyes rake the slim figure, catching himself before he drooled.

Trying not to grin as he hears a small gasp come from behind him, Blaise gives his body, especially his slim hips a little shimmy-shake before turning around and reaching his hand down to help haul Ron up.

Wrinkling his pert nose, as they come face to face Blaise quips, "First we're making a quick detour to our dorm rooms, we reek luv."

Ron not to be outdone blurts out, "True, and I don't know about you mate, but I've got to bloody piss!"

Rolling his blue eyes, he quickly pats them both down to remove any remaining dust bunnies.

Once they are both clean enough to his satisfaction, a little giggle escapes his plush mouth when Ron ever the Gryffindor offers him his elbow. Placing his slender hand on the muscular freckled flesh, Blaise tosses a sassy smirk up at his Gryffindor as they both leave the room.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

As Neville and Stanley walked side by side to the Great Hall for breakfast, he felt Stanley's small hand bump gently against his.

As they arrived before the entrance doors, reaching down, Neville firmly clasps their hands together.

Looking deep into Stanley's eyes, he felt the smaller boy shudder as he softly brushed his lips against the slender knuckles.

"Do you trust me Stanley?"

Stanley's breath catches at the intimacy of the act, and his dark eyes are now showing his emotions as his heart quickens at the gallant Gryffindor's attentions toward him.

Nodding his head slightly, for he trusts not himself to even speak at the moment, blinking his long lashes rapidly he feels the corners of his eyes moisten.

But, before he can drop his head, The taller boy curves his palm around his chin, leaning in as he presses a hot kiss on his throbbing temple.

Warm breath tickles his ear as Neville whispers softly, "You are beautiful, and I have dreamed of this moment. I have waited patiently for you, and now that you are finally here, nothing and no one is going to change my mind. Although you have been through so verra much, I just want you to know that I'm right here by your side, and I'm not going anywhere..." At that last word both of their tummies growled, causing them to giggle.

Looking up at his beau, the new Gryffindor grins widely before smirking, "Hmm, well Neville, it sounds like we both need to go inside here, huh?"

Shaking his sable head, Neville grins down at Stanley before offering him his arm. Together, they walk proudly to their House table, and the friends that await them there.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Ti smirked as he felt a firm hand slide oh so slowly down his soapy thigh. Flexing the muscle, he turned his head to catch the lips he loved so well by surprise.

His pale blonde brows waggled suggestively as he asked, "Ready for round two my pet?"

Snickering lightly, Re reached up and tweaked his lovers pale pink nipples. Swallowing hard, he murmured, "Merlin Ti? Again?"

Soon the shower walls echoed with a soapy *swapt* as Ti reminded him once more just who was in charge.

Giggling, Re is rubbing his stinging arse cheek with one hand, and pulling down his lovers wet head to his sensitive nipples with the other.

~~*

Ti was SO beyond turned on as he was licking on a moaning Re as he began exploring the sensitive area surrounding the soft flesh. Soon he was on his knees holding Re steady as he feasted on the delicate skin surrounding the boys new silver belly ring.

Moaning loudly, Re cards his long fingers though his lovers thick wet hair, as he is enjoying the sensation of the lips and mouth now slowly ghosting across the sensitive flesh of his tightening ball sac.

~~*

Nibbling on the soft skin that hides the entrance of his lovers desire, after a hastily whispered spell, soon long pale finger tips are easily sliding inside, deep and then deeper, causing Re to moan and almost topple over as he's being brought to the balls of his toes by his lovers skilled hands.

Re's moans become louder as Ti's thick large throbbing cock slowly replaces those naughty fingers.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A golden arch of sunlight fell against the pale blond brows of the sleeping man.

His long lean frame was helplessly twisting in the black silk sheets of his bed as heavy tears glittering like diamonds formed then fell down his long blonde lashes, leaving wet thin traces on his handsome face.

Tiny beads of sweat peppered his features, and darkened his long blonde hair as his body trembled and writhed while he fought desperately against the dream.

It was the same dream he'd had since the day he'd found out about his lover's demise.

He's helpless to stop it, not knowing it was a spell.

A last dig from the grave, from his own father, for daring to defy him.

Yes, even in death, the old man had won.

In a matter of moments, Narcissa Rose Black, was now Mrs. Lucius Malfoy.

How he'd gotten through the farce of a wedding reception was a mystery to him.

He felt nothing, he was numb.

Just like his lover before him, he was now trapped in a loveless union.

But, unlike James Potter, and his pregnant new bride Lilly, Lucius Malfoy would NOT be touching the beautiful young blonde woman that was now his legal wife.

As far as he was concerned, the Malfoy name would end with him.

He refused to produce an heir.

He would not pro-create with that woman, and that was final!

Merlin!

He needed a drink!

Whispering something into his new bride's ear, she giggled and turned red as he kissed her temple, then took his leave of her.

As he drained his third full shot of fire-whiskey in his father's Library, he sensed before he felt the heavy hand of his father come crashing down on his shoulders.

"There you are Luc my boy!" The older Malfoy crowed, "You've done me proud today son!"

Lucius tried his best not to roll his eyes as he murmured, "Oh goody you've found me!"

But, the older man was in his element and didn't notice his young son's sarcasm as he proclaimed, "An heir must be forthcoming my son, and I expect you to bed your beautiful bride tonight, and make it so!"

Lucius slowly poured himself another shot.

He couldn't wait to see his fathers face.

'Fuck, you.' he thought sourly.

Tossing back his drink, he slammed the small shot glass down on the mantle with such force, it shattered as he smirked,

"Look, I married the bitch, and I kept my word. But, if you want an heir so damn bad father? YOU sleep with the girl! Like I've told you before father, and what you fail to understand is this, I'M BLOODY GAY!"

Walking over to his father's big black leather chair, he sat back as he slowly sank down.

The smirk on his face got even wider as he saw his father's face grow redder with rage.

'Heh,' He thought, 'he had him there!'

He'd done just as his father had demanded. He'd married the spoiled wealthy girl he'd unknowingly been betrothed to since birth.

But, he drew the line at actually sleeping with her!

Merlin!

He was gay!

And, while, yes, had he been straight, that would of been just fine, as she was a pretty little thing, quite beautiful in fact, IF he'd been inclined to want a women as his life-mate.

But, what his father still, STILL refused to believe, was this. His heir, his son, Lucius Malfoy was gay.

Hell, in a desperate last ditch effort to get out of the impending nightmare of wedding to her, he'd even admitted it to Narcissa!

But, she could of cared less!

Not even when he'd told her that for him, their forced marriage would be a loveless farce of a union, never to reach consummation.

The cheeky little thing had just shrugged her slim shoulder's and told him, "Good, now nothing would mess up my perfect figure!"

Lucius could of laughed till he cried if the whole thing hadn't of been so damn sad.

She'd actually been relieved at the thought of NOT having to produce the Malfoy heir.

It wasn't until his father had murmured a spell that now had him bound, legs slightly spread and feet to each side of the bottom of the chair, and his arms to the arm rests, did Lucius realise his mistake.

As the large double doors to the Library slammed closed, and he heard the locks set, only then did Lucius realize just how grave that mistake was.

He'd been too cocky, and now his father knew the truth.

And, he kept on screwing up as he started shouting that, "He'd never planned on bedding his new wife, and NOT even Lord Voldemort himself could force him too, short of holding his cock and shoving it inside her, or casting on him a bloody Imperius Curse!"

In three short strides his father is now towering over him, and Lucius has never seen the man so angry!

Grabbing him by his long blonde hair, he forces back his head, and steely blue eyes bore into heated mercury as he spat, "So, you refuse to bed your chosen mate then?"

Leaning down into Lucius' face he screams, "You dare to defy OUR Lord? You dare to defy me, your father?"

Letting go of his hair, he suddenly slaps him hard across the face as he shouts, "You dare deny me MY Heir?"

Lucius stubbornly raised his chin, and looked his father in the eyes as he coolly stated, " Now, I know that you're getting on in years father, but, I have told you already, and listen good, because I'm bloody damn tired of repeating myself. I. AM. GAY."

Slowly his father shook his head, his handsome features drawn up into an ugly sneer as he spat,

"You disgust me my son. How in Merlin's name, can you honestly say that you would rather lay down with that Potter boy," At Lucius' flinch, and wide-eyed reaction, his father smiled darkly.

"Oh, yes, my foolish son, I know all about 'him' your lover, as does our Lord."

Lucius feels faint.

Knowing well the price is death for defying the orders of their dark Lord, Voldemort.

All of the young Death Eater's were to marry and produce heir's, thus furthering the madman's army, thus insuring the pureblood future.

His father's smug voice brook through his musings as he said, "Luckily for you, his Lordship finds favor with you, though Merlin knows why. Anyway, while I had hoped you'd do your duty, despite your abnormal desires, I did have a back up plan."

Almost perversely cheerful, his father said, "It seems, your best friend and colleague, Severus Snape has created something that will make us all happy."

At Lucius' perplexed look, his father smirked, "Well, not you perhaps, but then, this has never been about, YOU. "

His face darkened again as he growled, "And, if you won't bed the wife I chose for you, YOU can just carry your own child then."

Lucius now know knows the truth, his father was missing a few cards to his deck.

"EXCUSE me?"

But, his insane parent was nattering on, oblivious to his son's apparent shocked confusion.

"Now, you will do as you are told Lucius. Snape and our Lord are due here any moment. I once again have saved your bloody arse. The Dark Lord has requested a volunteer to try Severus' newest discovery! You shall drink it, and NOT complain. DO NOT TEST MY PATIENCE ANY FURTHER MY SON!"

Lucius looks wildly around as he hears the snuffle noise of the flu, and the burst of the arrival of someone inside of the fireplace.

Patting his son's long blonde hair, Augustus Lucius Malfoy cooed as he chuckled darkly.

"There is no escaping your fate my son. You've brought this on yourself, you WILL do as he bids."

Walking over to greet his Lord and master and his master's pet, Augustus shoved down his reaction to Lucius' out and out betrayal.

The boy that had once been his greatest joy, was now his greatest sorrow.

And, it was all of that damn Potter boy's fault!

Yes, it had to be James Potter's fault that his beautiful Lucius had become a bloody shirt lifter!

"Augustus! Has the boy made his final choice then?"

"Yes he had My Lord."

"Very well then, Severus?"

"Yes my Lord?"

"Administer the potion!"

Apologetic saddened ebony eyes look deeply into his own, as his head is pulled back, and he is forced to drink.

"Give him the whole bottle Severus!"

"But my lord, I don't know the outcome of such folly sir..."

"Do you dare to defy me Severus?"

"No my Lord, never..."

"Very well then, see that you never do. Have him finish the bottle, now!"

Bending down to the shell pink ear, Severus brokenly whispered, "Oh god Luc, I'm so damn sorry..."

April 7th, 1988

"AHHH, this is MOST unexpected!"

The tall brown haired man murmured as he swept out of the room, holding a squalling newborn.

"NO!, PLEASE! Don't take him! Bastien! OH GOD! NO, Nooooooo!"

The sweaty blonde man pleads, holding out his hands, reaching and grabbing at empty air as the little dark green bundle was whisked away.

"SHHHH! You'll only upset him! Then we'll all be in for it! You'll see him again."

She says, taking the small wiggling dark green bundle from his arms.

Gently, she rocks the baby.

Carefully, she pulls back the blanket, cooing softly, as she offers a bottle.

The little rosebud mouth greedily suckles, as his bright small silvery-blue eyes peering up at her, are now watching her every move.

"Well, he sure had my appetite, that's a given, eh Draconis?"

At his father's voice, his tiny arms flail as he knocks the bottle away, sending it crashing to the floor. He's is now reaching out to his father, exercising his demanding little lungs in the process.

The young blonde woman looks annoyed as she dryly states, "Yes, and he seems to have your temperament as well, Lucius my sweet."

Lucius smiles at her, ignoring the jealous biting sarcasm as he takes back his baby.

A fresh bottle is introduced and the child is once again happily feeding.

Tiny purrs escape from full pink cupids bow lips as the baby boy stares up at his father.

Small hands containing long surprisingly strong slender spidery fingers reach upwards, wrapping themselves around his own.

"Ahh, my little Dragon," He coos' beaming down at the grinning newborn,

"I love you with all of my heart, soul, mind, and body. And, I promise you, I shall do will do everything in my power, to keep you both safe. I love you Draco. Daddy loves you so much."

"Here," Narcissa said, handing Lucius a chain with two slender birth rings on it.

"He said to give these to you, and that you would see him, soon."

Lucius carefully slipped the necklace over his head then closed his eyes as his tears fell.

Holding Draco so tightly he squeaked, he whispered, "Soon, Bastien, soon, Daddy will see you son, soon."

The blonde man sits straight up in bed, his tears heavily falling as he's screaming his agony.

Down the hall, knowing it's that dream again, the blonde woman sighs with remorse for his loss.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

"Draco?" Harry murmured against his pale lover’s chest.

"Hmm,?" The spent boy murmured back, peppering kisses into the wild mane of his lovers soft onyx hair.

Feeing his cock harden and thicken again at just the mere touch of his lovers breath in his hair, Harry moaned, Merlin Draco! I can't think straight when you're doing that!"

Rubbing his nose gently against Harry's Draco giggled softly, "Luv, I don't think anything about you is straight," pausing to look deeply into those emerald pools, he smirks as he lightly taps the dark haired boys head with a slim finger, "especially your naughty mind."

Playfully, Harry stuck his tongue out at him.

Draco dipped his blonde head to catch Harry's tongue, and sucked on it gently, drawing out the most delicious mewling sounds from his lover.

Slowly their lips part, and as they do, Draco says, "Harry, I've been thinking,"

Hot and horny and ready for another bout of lovemaking, not verbal discussions, rolling his eyes Harry snorts, "I'll notify the Prophet!"

"Why you little! Harry James Potter, this is serious!" Draco sputters as he's now tickling his emerald eyed imp.

"Okay, okay, UNCLE!" Harry shouts, eager for Draco to stop tickling him, as he'd almost wet himself.

"Harry..." Draco warns.

"I swear, I'll be good, and let you finish this time." Harry sputters, trying to catch his breath.

Satisfied that his Harry would now pay close attention to what he had to say, Draco continued as if nothing had happened.

"And, I know all of this seems sudden, but, in all actuality, if you go by how long we've been in each others lives, it's really about time, I feel, and, I know we're both very young and all, but I just wanted to say, er, I mean ask you something very important, not only to us both, but to the lives of our unborn children."

Pausing, Draco takes Harry's head between both of his large hands, and looking deeply into his widening eyes, he softly says, "Um, Harry James Potter, would you, ah, I mean, will you, OH! Forget it! I just, wanted..."

Putting a slim finger against Draco's full pink lips, Harry carded his long slim fingers through his loves soft blonde hair as he nodded his dark head.

Tears of joy fell from his bright emerald eyes, as he softly replied, "Yes you silly git,

yes, I'll marry you Draconis Lucius Malfoy!"
