Chapter Sixteen
Careful What You Wish For
By Coco Bebo aka EternusCaries
Chapter Sixteen
The Great Hall emptied little by little, the only people left in it were Draco, Millicient, The Carrow sisters, Harry, and Hermione who had just gotten back from arguing with a still sulking Ron. However instead of sitting at their respective tables they had moved together, sitting at the Ravenclaw table looking horribly awkward. Albus walked toward the small gathering now and couldn't help but smile cheerfully as he watched them. Slytherin and Gryffindor had finally come together and he had a feeling this time it just might stick.
“Mr. Black and Ms. Granger I'm glad that you stayed behind, if you had went to your new quarters you would have found that you were unable to enter them. That is because these rooms now require a key along with a password.” Albus handed them both strangely shaped keys and watched as they pocketed them.
“I don't have to tell you why I have made these rooms so secure this year. Once in your rooms you can set up the password and allow two people access to it. Those two people will have to archive their voice in the records. Reason being because the password will only allow those who voices it has in its database to come. It will see through Polyjuice potions and the portraits are able to see through any invisibility spell or even the more rare occasion invisibility cloak.”
“Do you really think that they will try that hard to hurt me Sir? I understand that they feel betrayed by me, but this seems to be a little too much.”
Albus smiled as he nodded, “I'm afraid that you have made more than your fellow students angry Draco and when it comes down to Voldemort I believe that every precaution must be taken...however I must admit that it isn't only your welfare I am concerned about but also that of your room mates.”
Draco frowned as he looked toward Hermione, “I'm not sure I understand, I thought that the Head Boy and Girl had their own rooms, I didn't think they shared one.”
Albus smiled and shook his head, “Ms. Granger has her own room and so do you, but I'm afraid I am going to have to ask you to share your room with someone else Draco. The war outside Hogwarts has escalated rapidly and I'm afraid when they tried to recruit you into their league it made me realize something. They want students of Hogwarts in their numbers so they can infiltrate Hogwarts. I no longer feel that Harry will be safe in the boys dormitory in Gryffindor's tower.”
Draco wasn't shocked, he was more surprised that somewhere he had seen this coming, “so you want Harry to share a room with me so we can both have the security of the new rooms?”
Albus nodded and watched as Harry frowned and looked down at the table, “I know that this may be a strange request but I really think you would be in jeopardy Harry if you were to stay in the boys dormoitory.”
Harry nodded and looked at Draco, “you alright with this?”
Draco shrugged, “I've been stuck with you this long.”
Albus smiled as he turned his attention to Draco's new found allies, “do you ladies feel like you will be threatened if you stay in the Slytherin dungeons? I can arrange for rooms to be made for you..”
“No, please sir that's alright.” Hestia shook her head adamantly, “we want to stay there, sure we will be bullied but maybe if others see that we made our own decision and lived...well maybe they will do the same.” Her sister Flora smiled brightly and nodded and after a few seconds so did Millicient.
“Such bravery from those who are so young, I'm very proud of you all, if you ever need anything please do not hesitate, my door is always open.”
They nodded before the sisters stood up, “we probably should get going actually, all the good beds will be taken.”
Millicient sighed as she followed them and after a quick goodbye Albus watched as the three of them left the Great Hall together. It made him realize even more however how much the war had escalated. It was to the point were sides had to be picked and three Slytherin girls were going to be the clarification that other students would need to let them know it would be alright to not do everything your parents or peers said.
Turning his attention back to Harry, Draco, and Hermione he sighed, “I wish I could tell you three that all you would have to worry about this year is your studies and preparing for next years N.E.W.T exams. However I'm afraid that there will be much more in store than that, please be careful and be on the lookout for any suspicious behavior. Even though Mr. Weasley isn't here right now please be sure to tell him the same thing, we are getting into the heart of this war and you will find more and more proof of that before this year is over I'm afraid.”
They nodded and with that he waved goodbye to them and watched as they left the Great Hall. When they were gone he sighed and let his smile slip off his face, he never liked putting so much on the shoulder's of those so young, but the war was getting too violent to keep them in the dark any longer.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Walking down the silent corridor to their rooms Harry realized how much on edge they all were. Glancing over at Hermione he frowned when he saw how pale she was and the first flare of anger over Ron and how childish he could be came over him. “Did you ever get Ron to calm down?” Harry wasn't sure why his voice came out in a whisper but the other two seemed to think it was perfectly normal.
“You know how he is Harry, it might take him a couple of hours but he'll calm down.”
They arrived first at Harry and Draco's room and Hermione waved goodbye to them as she walked down the hall toward her own room. Harry watched as Draco pulled out the key and walked over to the portrait, sliding it in the weird shaped hole on the wall before pulled it back out when a small beep sounded.
The portrait swung open and when it closed behind them Harry heard a series of clicks and another beep, the room itself was huge, two canopied beds sitting on each wall, one decorated with Slytherin colors and the other in Gryffindor. The walls were painted a vibrant red and green and on the ceiling there was a magnificent picture of a lion sleeping with a snake curled up on his back. There were two wardrobes, two desks, and on the left wall there was a door that Harry was sure led to their private bathroom.
Their trunks were already placed at the end of their beds and Draco was already in his, putting his things away. On the desks were the books they hadn't had a chance to get during the summer with new quills, new ink bottles, and new potion supplies.
Harry sighed and sat down on the bed as he watched Draco put away his clothes, trying not to think too hard about how he was almost always thinking or looking at the other boy.
“Dumbledore really goes out of his way to keep students safe doesn't he?”
Harry smiled as he nodded, “yea, I think that he wants our safety to be the last thing we have to worry about. However I think that he may have over reacted by putting me in here too. I've been find every other year, this year wouldn't have been any different.”
Draco closed the lid to his trunk after putting the rest of his supplies in his desk and shook his head, “actually I think he was right to put you in here. You are the single person that the Dark Lord wants to kill. Truth is he probably did want me to join his cause simply for the fact that I had access to you and could bring you to him.”
Harry's eyes widened when Draco pulled his shirt off, throwing it in the corner before starting to unzip his pants, “w-w-what are you doing!?” Harry couldn't believe how high pitched his voice sounded and when Draco flashed him one of his trademark smirks Harry refused to think about how quickly the blood pooled between his legs.
“I'm getting ready for bed Harry, classes do start tomorrow.” Draco let his pants fall down his legs before kicking them off, leaving him in emerald satin boxers.
Harry suddenly found it difficult to swallow as he let his eyes trail down Draco's chest to his boxers and then back up, when he met the other boy's eyes again Draco was looking at him with amusement and curiosity. Blushing scarlet before standing up and nodding, “yea, they do, I guess I should get ready too.” He made his way quickly past a smiling Draco and shut the bathroom door.
Draco couldn't help but laugh softly as he laid down in his bed, laughing even more when he heard the shower in the bathroom turn on. He had felt the tension grow between them during the summer, but he never thought that Harry found him attractive. Only a blind man however could have missed the raging hard on that Harry had ran into the loo with. Closing his eyes Draco fell asleep thinking about what exactly he could do to help his and Harry's relationship change.
