Chapter 7 -Back to school and hostile visits-


"Boys! Aren't you ready yet? The train leaves in five hours and you need to be there before then," Remus called, walking into Harry's bedroom.


Both boys sat on the bed, glumly and neither wanting to move. To move meant they would be leaving their lovers.


"Harry, Severus said he'd drive us all to the station, that way he can say bye to you then instead of now," Remus said, staring at the two. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Boys, really, this isn't a death sentence. It's for two weeks, then we'll both visit. We'll have Valentines Day and spring break - really, it isn't that much time away before we see each other everyday again," Remus said trying to reassure them.


After that, Harry and Draco finished packing, both wanting to spend some time with their lover's before having to board the train back to school.

+++++

Standing outside the station, the two couples said their goodbyes.


"I'll miss you," Harry confessed into Severus' chest.


"I'll see you in two weeks, love. I don't know what I'll do with out you, my muse," Severus replied, kissing the top of Harry's head.


"Two weeks and I'll see you, right?" Draco asked with a slight pout.


"Yes, Dragon, two weeks and we'll be there waiting for you and Harry to wake up and have breakfast with us," Remus said, amused at the blondes' pouting abilities.


"You'd best be going; the train should be just about ready to load now," Severus said, kissing Harry chastely before pushing him back a bit.


"Come on, Har. If we miss that train, these two won't be very happy with us if they have to drive us all the way to school," Draco said, pulling Harry away from Severus.


The two teens grabbed what luggage they had and wheeled it to their train, calling one last goodbye to the two men as they climbed aboard.

++++


Two weeks have gone by since they've returned to school and they were slowly getting back into the swing of things.


The boys were excited, Remus and Severus were due the next morning and neither could sleep. Draco had already planed his and Harry's outfit for the next day when two would see their lover's again. Their friends were at a loss as to what to do with them as they made no sense what so ever.


"Go to sleep, Dray. If I have dark circles under my eyes tomorrow, I'm blaming you!" Harry mumbled from under his blankets.


"Oh, like you're really sleeping under there. I can't sleep, damn it," Draco huffed. "What if he doesn't show? Or worse, what if he says he doesn't want to be with me any more? What shall I do," Draco fretted, all but biting his nails in worry.


"Draco, Remmy loves you. If he didn't, he never would have slept with you to begin with. Trust me, you'll be shagging like bunnies in less than fifteen hours. Now get some bloody fucking sleep before I ruin your face by knocking you out. You don't want to look like you haven't slept in days when he shows, do you?" Harry grumbled, turning over in bed and covering his head in the blankets once again.


With that, the blonde finally gave in and went to bed, falling to sleep soon after.

++++++

"Severus, when did they say they'd be meeting us?" Remus asked as he paced the lounge of the little inn they were staying at.


"At eleven, Remus. Its 10:40 now, so just sit tight - you're making the inn's people queasy with all your pacing," Severus said, looking over the morning paper.


Ten minutes later they heard the front door to the inn burst open, showing a panting blonde and chuckling brunet.


"Ha! Told ya I could still beat you," Harry crowed triumphantly, his face glowing in happiness.


"Heh, I just let you win, shrimp," Draco teased as he straightened himself out.


Glancing around, Draco's face suddenly blossomed into a faint blush as he found his lover watching him, an amused smile playing on his lips.


Following Draco's line of vision, Harry's face lit up seeing not only his 'father', but his lover sitting there waiting for them.


Suddenly, Harry raced over and hopped onto Severus' lap. Severus, half expecting this, moved his paper in time not to have it torn up on Harry's landing.


With lips suddenly attached, Severus quickly took over, slowly sliding his tongue into Harry's mouth as it opened for him. Harry's arms wrapped around Severus shoulders, and moaning was heard as they poured all their feelings into the kiss before finally pulling away to breath deeply. They faintly heard an echo of panting coming from the other two of their group.


"Gods, I've missed you," Harry breathed, leaning his head against Sev's shoulder.


"I've missed you too, my muse," Severus murmured


"Well, have you two eaten yet?" Remus asked, looking between Harry and Draco.


"Nope, was too excited to see you both," Harry said, blushing.


"We're both famished, Remmy. Think we can go grab some food to eat?" Draco asked, looking hopefully into Remus eyes.


Unable to say no to such a look, the foursome was soon walking across the street to the closest dinner they could find.


Upon entering the diner, Draco scanned the other patrons. Seeing a head of red hair, he sneered, ready to tell the others that they should go to the other diner that was a few blocks down instead. But the others had already gone to a booth and were sitting down.


Draco sighed, figuring that it would just be best to sit and hope that Ron didn't see them. It was better than drawing unwanted attention to them by suddenly getting up to leave.


"Har, weasel alert!" Draco stated as he sat beside Remus.


"Damn it! Can't I have one day of peace away from him?" Harry groaned.


"Might I ask, who is Weasel?" Severus asked, looking between the two teens.


"He's this obsessed guy who wants Harry. He's been after him all year and he's been getting kinda violent," Draco informed them.


"Draco," Harry hissed, suddenly seeing said teen walking towards them.


"Ahh, there ya are, Harry. A few of us were gonna head down to Bertie's - wanted ta know if ya gonna come with?"


"Um, no thank you, Ron. I'm spending time with friends," Harry answered softly leaning closer to Severus for some form of support.


"What does this ferret and two greasy gits got that I don't?" Ron sneered at the small brunet.


"Ron, please leave - you have insulted my family and closest friend enough. I don't like you - I never have and I never will. Any chance of me liking you as a friend has long since passed. Please leave before you have disturbed the rest of the good people trying to eat here," Harry said evenly.


Ron growled low in his throat and turned away in a huff, spouting that Harry would get his as he stormed out of the diner. What that was none of them really wanted to know.


"Sorry about that," Harry mumbled, picking up his fork. The other three followed, trying to eat their meal in peace as they ignored the inquiring looks they were receiving from those in the diner.


The day went on and at some point, the two couples split up for some alone time, bypassing students that were milling around enjoying their day away from school.


At the end of the day, they had four somewhat satisfied people slowly walking back towards the school.


"Harry, Remus said you didn't have one and since we haven't been able to talk much since you've been back...well, I figured this could come in handy," Severus said handing a small package he had hidden in his coat.


Taking the gift, Harry slowly opened it, smiling widely when he saw what it was.


"Thank you, Sev," Harry grinned, wrapping his arms around Severus middle. "Look, Dray! Sev got me a cell phone!"


++++++

"Draco, can you get that? It's probably Sev," Harry called from the bathroom.


"Yeah," Draco called out as he picked up his friends cell phone. "Ello?"


"Draco, I know your father taught you better than that," Severus chided on the other end.


"Eh, don't care, it wasn't him who called. What can I do for you, Uncle Sev?"


"Where's Harry?"


"Loo."


"Tell him it's important."


Yawning slightly, Draco walked into the bathroom ignoring the fact that Harry was sitting on the john and the indignant "Hey!" he received.


"Sev says it's important!" Draco said by way of explanation.


Huffing slightly, Harry took the phone from Draco's stretched out hand.


"Hello, love," Harry said, smiling brightly into the phone.


"That's how I like to be greeted. Mm, I miss you, my muse." Severus purred. "How's your day been?"


"Good, had to avoid red headed annoyances, but it's been good. How was yours? You don't sound like it was good," Harry asked.


"My sister's getting married," Severus said with a frustrated sigh. "This is the third time, mind you, that she'll be getting married."


"Is that good or bad?" Harry asked, trying hard not to bite his split lip, courtesy of one Ron Weasley'.


"Oh, it's fine and dandy for her," Severus grumpily replied.


"But...?" Harry said softly.


"She wants me to walk her down the aisle."


"And this is the bad thing?"


"Yes! I'll be missing our next weekend together to do this."


"Oh, I see. Well, family is important. I should hope that you'll have fun."


"You don't mean that, but thank you for understanding."


"Of course I understand. I just don't like not being able to see you. Will Remus still be coming up?"


"As far as I know, yes. He's so smitten with Draco, it's highly amusing."


"I'm sure it is. Though, they say the same for us, so don't try and rub it in his face - he's good at throwing it right back," Harry chuckled.


"I'll call you later, love. I need to get more done on this story," Severus said sadly


"Okay, love you," Harry said softly, biting his lip lightly and wincing as he scrapped the cut.


"Love you, too. Be good, brat." With that, Severus hung up.


Hitting the end button on his phone, Harry pouted slightly. He hated not being able to see Severus everyday. He reveled in the days that he could and now it would be almost a month until he saw him again.


Sighing Harry finished his business before readying himself for bed, glad that Severus, at least, wouldn't see his split lip and ask questions.

++++++

"Harry, we don't have to go out. Me and Remmy can stay - hang out with you." Draco offered, not wanting to leave his best friend to pout around all weekend in their dorm.


"No, go. Remus came all the way out here to see you, the least you can do is go spend time with him. Maybe we could have lunch together tomorrow, yeah?"


"I don't like leaving you alone, especially with that Weasley hanging about. You know I don't trust him. He's been lusting after you for well over a year now. Ask one of the guys over - play a card game or something, okay?"


"Yes, mother. I already asked Blaise and Dean over, so no worries, 'kay. Have fun - give my love to Remus," Harry called as the blond threw his coat on, making his way towards the door.


"I will, love," Draco called as he opened the door, closing it firmly behind
him.

++++++

An hour after Draco left, Harry was laying on his bed, waiting for his friends to show. Board out of his mind; he laid there, headphones on and music blasting. At some point, he dozed off.


The feel of another body pressing against his had Harry waking with a start, his eyes widening as panic started to kick in.


"Can I help you?" Harry asked softly, trying to keep his voice steady.


"Mm, yeah, taking off your clothes will help a lot," a gruff voice said into his ear.


"Sorry, that won't be happening!" Harry answered, his voice pitching a little.


"Hmm...then I'll have to take them off for you!" the voice said vehemently.

Harry was roughly turned over onto his back and he flung his arm out, hoping that he'd catch whoever was on him with his fist. He landed one hit on the person's jaw only to get slapped back to the bed, his cheek stinging.


"Ron, get off me, please, you don't want to do this," Harry pleaded once he recognized his attacker.


"Shut up!" Ron ground out as he slapped him again. Bending over Harry, Ron pressed his lips to Harry's ear. "You're not all high and mighty now, are you bitch. You. Fucking. Slut." Ron spat, punching Harry in the stomach with every word.


Gasping for breath, Harry did the only thing he could, he tried to knee Ron in the groin and lashed out with his fist again. And he succeeded in pissing Ron off further.


"Please, Ron. I'll forget this ever happened if you just leave now," Harry pleaded again. He screamed as his arm was turned the wrong way, a loud snap sounding in his ears.


"I. Said. Shut. Up," Ron growled, wrapping his hands around Harry's throat and pressing slightly.


With his air supply suddenly cut off, Harry began to really panic, his eyes wide and his body fighting the larger teen sitting on top of him. Harry's last thought before he blacked out was, "He's really gonna kill me now."


As soon as Harry's eyes closed, Ron quickly divested them of their clothes, tying Harry's hands to the headboard in case he should wake up. Slicking himself up Ron got ready to enter his obsession, thinking his day had finally come when he could concur his unattainable beauty.


Ron soon found himself being pummeled instead of being sheathed in a suffocating heat. With his hands bound to the bed post, Ron found that escape was not going to happen.


"Blaise, how is he?" a frantic Dean asked.


"He's breathing, but he's kinda blue. God, he's covered in bruises, his arm is at a funny angle, too. Call for the nurse, I'll get Draco," Blaise said, whipping out his cell and punching in the blonde's number.
