Why Do You Torture Me Like This?


Chapter 2: Regretfully Decline

The next day the two boys woke in the arms of the person they loved. Harry curled up around Draco's back and draped his arms over him and Draco kissed those arms. Harry turned Draco around and gave him a proper kiss. The kiss started to turn into something more. Before Harry could get very far Draco stopped him.

"Before we get to far into this I want to know what you got me for Christmas." Draco batted his eyes at his lover and all Harry could do was laugh. He got up and walked over to their discarded clothes, dug around in his pockets and found what he was looking for. He walked back over to the bed and handed a wrapped box to Draco. He sat up when the box was handed to him. Draco slowly unwrapped and Harry prayed to God that he liked it. When Draco opened the box he got wide eyed. He took the necklace out of the box and stared at it. He held the pendent close to his face and looked at all the detail. The last thing he looked at was the emerald eyes.

"So, do you like it?" Harry asked.

"Harry, I love it. It's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Except for you of course." Draco smiled at him and planted a very passionate kiss on his lover's lips. After the kiss Harry took his present out of Draco's hands and set it on the end table. He went on kissing his boyfriend as he did he laid him down onto the bed. It was about to be a very good morning.


After about an hour and a half they had decided to go down to breakfast. They walked down hand in hand, feeding off of the awkward stares they got. They got down to the Great Hall and sat down at Gryffindor's table. They sat there and ate in silence, completely comfortable just being with each other. It wasn't until almost the end of breakfast that Harry broke the silence.

"What would you like to do after breakfast?"

"Umm... I'm not sure. How about going for a walk around the grounds?"

"I thought snakes didn't like the cold?" Harry got a kick to his shin from under the table.

"Oww. What the bloody hell was that for?" Harry asked as he rubbed his shin.

"What? I didn't do anything. I'm as innocent as the day I was hatched." Draco batted his eyes at Harry and he couldn't stay mad long. After breakfast was over they went off to there separate rooms to get protected against the cold. Harry was the first one of the two to be at the front doors. He had been waiting there about five minutes when Blaise Zabini walked up to him.

"Oi. Potter." Blaise called to him.

"Yes?"

"Draco said go ahead without him and he will meet you there and that you know where to go."

"Okay, but did he say why." Harry asked.

"All he said was that something came up that he had to take care of. He also said it wouldn't take long though."

"Okay. Thanks." With that Harry turned from them and walked outside. Harry did know where to go. It's where they went every time. It was a little secluded clearing on the side of the castle. When ever they wanted time away from school and friends they'd go to this spot, their spot, to be alone. When he got there Harry decided to put a warming spell around the area because he know Draco would complain of the cold as soon as he got there.

While waiting there Harry herd some rustling in the surrounding bushes. He drew out his wand as a precaution and waited. Finally coming forth from the bushes was Teagan.

"Teagan, what the hell are you doing here?" Harry asked as he put his wand away.

"To see you of course." Teagan responded and went forward to kiss Harry but he pushed him away.

"Draco might see."

"I thought he wasn't supposed to be back for a few days?"

"He wasn't. But last night I went to our private room that we use sometimes just because and I found him sitting in front of the window."

"Oh. I will make sure to behave myself, which we both know is difficult." Teagan smiled at him.

"Teagan, why did you come here?" Harry asked again.

"I told you. To see you."

"We both know that's not the only reason. Why did you really come here."

"I came here to make you an offer."

"What type of offer?" Harry stared at him.

"An offer to have me for one night. We both know you want it. All it would take is for you to say 'Yes' and I can make it happen." Teagan said. Harry was caught off guard by the offer and was quiet for quite sometime. Then he spoke.

"Is it possible for me to have a day or so to think about it?"

"You could, but if I were you, I wouldn't this offer is only open for a limited time." Teagan walked around the clearing and came to rest on some bushes.

"I should have known it was going to be something like that. How long is it on the table for?"

"A week."

"That's not a very long time. Why so short?" Harry asked.

"Because I can't let something like this be out in the air for too long. There is the possibility that it will be forgotten. And you know I can't have that."

"In that case I will make a decision now. As tempting as that offer is, and believe me it's so very tempting, I must regretfully decline."

"I understand." Teagan pushed off from the bush and walked around Harry and whispered in his ear.

"Are you sure you're willing to pass this up, this chance may never come up again." With Teagan being so close and seducing, Harry had to close his eyes and breathe to regain control of his body.

"Yes. At this point in time I can't do it."

"Such a shame. I could have made it worth it." With that Teagan made his way back into the bushes and disappeared, leaving Harry by himself. After Teagan was gone Harry collapsed onto the ground and looked up at the snow falling around his barrier.
