Chapter 9 The Waiting

The morning dawned bright and promising. Harry snuggled closer to Draco and kissed a pattern over his chest. If he could wake Draco up in time, they had just enough time to romp before breakfast and classes. Draco began squirming and opened his eyes in time to see and feel Harry suck a nipple into his mouth. Draco groaned loudly and arched his back, pushing his nipple and chest further into Harry’s mouth. Harry wanted him and he wasn’t going to stop him. He could feel Harry already hard against his thigh and wiggled enough so that Harry was between his legs. Draco bent his legs and opened them as far as possible, to encourage Harry. Harry didn’t need much encouragement. He called for the bottle of oil they kept on the bedside table and generously oiled his fingers. He inserted one while still placing kisses and nips on Draco’s neck and chest. He could feel Draco moving against his finger and inserted a second one. This time he drove in hard and curled his fingers as he slowly moved them down. He hit Draco’s prostate and the blonde arched against Harry, yelling his name. Harry sucked on Draco’s ear and shoulder and inserted his third finger and began stretching Draco. He hit the prostate again and Draco became vocal.

“For gods sake Harry, hurry up and fuck me. Oohhh.” Draco was wailing, wanting more from Harry. Harry removed his fingers and lined up his stiff member with Draco’s entrance.

“Ready, Love?” Draco was past ready and thrust down against Harry until he felt Harry fill him. Draco sighed in pleasure and Harry began moving, urging them both to completion. Draco wrapped his legs and arms around Harry and held on.

“Faster Harry, ride me harder.”

Harry was happy to fulfill the request and began pounding into Draco with wild abandon. The headboard began hitting the wall with dull thuds with each inward stroke. All these sounds culminated with Draco moaning and screaming “More, oh gods yes, more”

Harry sped up and managed to reach Draco’s cock with a hand. He began smearing the leaking fluid around using it as lube to stroke Draco in time with his thrusts. The friction was too much for Draco and he started bucking more wildly and exploded all over the two of them. When he exploded, his muscles gripped Harry in a vice and Harry exploded into Draco. Both sank down on the mattress feeling too wonderful to get up and too tired to care about classes or breakfast.


The two awoke hours later to find a school owl perched next to Hedwig. Draco rolled off the bed and went to retrieve the letter. It was addressed to him in very familiar writing. He gave the owl a treat and stroked it gently before returning to the bed. He sat next to Harry and looked at the parchment, afraid to open it, it was poss his his Pandora’s Box. Harry looked at him, wondering what could possibly cause him this much indecision. It wasn’t like Draco. “Open it love. I’m here to help you if you need it.” Draco smiled at his Lion. His courageous Lion, that’s how he thought of Harry nowadays, and broke the seal on the letter.

My Dearest Draco,

I have been informed that I have you to thank for my release, even though I had been assured months ago it was a very temporary situation. How they forget the turncoats who save them.

I have also been told that I am to be at your new accommodations at approximately 3:00 P.M. I am told you will have some news for me and several surprises.

I am also told you will be needing my help with a delicate situation that no one will describe. I only pray it does not have anything to do with that Parkinson girl. I had hoped they would forget the silly notion of the wedding when the victory was assured.

I am most anxious to see you, son, after being away. I am sure we can handle any situation that has arisen.

Until I see you later,

Your redeemed father,

Lucius Malfoy


Draco looked at the clock and then at them lying in the bed. “Oh shit. Harry, come on, get up. We have to get showered and dressed. We have company coming in twenty minutes and they are always punctual.”

Draco dragged Harry off the bed and into the shower with him. As much as he would have enjoyed a tryst in the shower, they were on a time limit. He would bring Harry back here later. Draco got Harry finished just before Harry had him completed. They stepped out of the shower and he cast the drying spell on them and ran for their clothes. Even in his hurry, Draco was selective over what he and his Lion would greet guests in today. Finally satisfied, he led Harry into the common room and sat him on the couch, ordered tea and raisin scones from a house elf, and paced. A knock sounded on the door and all movement inside stopped. Draco cleared his throat and walked over to the door.

Draco opened the door to see Albus and Severus. He opened it further to allow them entrance and turned to look at Harry. The two entered and moved behind Harry. Draco looked at them and then at Harry whose face held astonishment. Slowly, Draco took a deep breath and turned around. In front of him stood the first important man in his life – his father, Lucius Malfoy. Throwing away all the teachings at this man’s feet, Draco moved to him and enveloped him in a crushing hug. Draco didn’t care who saw, he wept for joy on his father’s shoulder as his father returned the hug. Draco finally collected himself and stepped back one step and looked his father over again. “Oh Father” Draco said aloud. For Lucius’ ears only he said quietly “Daddy” and felt the first tear from his father’s eye in twenty years.

Harry watched the interactions of the two blondes and didn’t feel threatened. In fact, all Harry felt was very tired and that his time was nigh. Harry stretched out on the couch and shuddered out a breath. The sound immediately got Draco’s attention as well as the rest of the room’s. Draco ran to the couch and dropped next to Harry. “Harry, my Lion, what’s wrong? Harry?” When Harry didn’t respond, Draco began panicking, searching his robes for the vial. Severus looked at Draco and knew what the problem was. “Easy Draco, there’s time. Let’s get him to the infirmary.” Draco nodded and picked Harry up in his arms and headed out the door. “Father, I can explain, but please, just follow us for now.” Draco knew the short cuts through the dungeons to the infirmary and made it in record time. Upon entering he called for Poppy and laid Harry on the designated bed. “Harry, love, what can I get you?”

Harry’s eyes fluttered open. “Draco, get Hermione and Ron for me please. I have to tell them something.”
Draco looked at the Headmaster, who nodded and went to Poppy’s office. He returned and assured them the two would be there within minutes.

When the two came running into the infirmary, they skidded to a halt to see Lucius Malfoy standing at the foot of Harry’s bed watching Draco’s head lying on Harry’s chest crying. They were not surprised to see Headmaster and Snape there, though. What did scare them, was the way Harry was just lying there. They moved to the vacant side of the bed and reached out to touch Harry’s arm. Draco looked up, followed by Harry’s eyes.

“Hey guys. Draco, can you give us a couple of minutes?” Harry’s voice was weak and Draco wanted to argue, but didn’t want to upset Harry anymore. Draco stood and leaned over to kiss Harry and moved away, taking his father with him.

Harry tried to roll on his side to take a hand in each of his. He couldn’t manage it on his own so he left their hands on his arm. “I know we haven’t kept in touch lately guys, but I want you to know how much I love you both. I want you to promise me that you will take care of each other, make my fight worth something, Okay? I also want you to promise me you will help Draco. My Dragon’s going to be lost and will need all the friends he can get. You are probably the last he has. I’m counting on you to help him. Please do this for me, for the friendship we’ve had and the love as siblings we’ve shared. I love you Hermione, I love you Ron. Now I really need to talk to Draco.”

Hermione and Ron looked at Harry. This couldn’t be the end of the Boy Who Lived, could it? Each leaned down and kissed his cheek and whispered promises and words of love to their Harry and let their hands run over his arm as they moved away. Draco came back over to the bed.

“My Lion, don’t talk. You’ll get better and I will take you to the seaside to watch the sun rise and set in your emerald eyes. I love you Harry.” Harry looked at Draco and smiled a beatific smile. “Draco, my Dragon, I have loved you since the robe shop. I regret the lost time, but I have loved you the best I could lately. My only wish is I had done it earlier. Draco, come closer and kiss me. I want to leave you with something of mine to remember me by in the future, when I can’t be here with you.” Draco was crying now and leaned into Harry and felt Harry place a hand on his stomach and one behind his head and brought him in for the sweetest kiss Draco had ever had. Draco saw the blue aura surround them again and felt a tingle in his stomach. “Harry, my Lion, I love you.” “Draco, I will always be with you now. I love you.”

Harry closed his eyes and gave a loud shuddering breath. Draco panicked, “Uncle Severus” Draco was yelling even as the man stepped next to Harry and opened his mouth and administered the blue vial. He looked at Albus. “You better have been right Albus. I will not try to stop anything that happens if you are wrong.”
