Summer with Draco

Chapter Eight:

A few moments later found Harry in Seamus’s living room, poised to hit him. It took all his will power to lower his fist. Seamus looked terrified, then relieved when Harry lowered his fist.

“Don’t look so relieved Finnigan! I might change my mind again! How could you do that to me? How could you betray me like that? “ demanded Harry.

“Me betray you? Oh that’s rich! How about the entire year you deceived me? I thought you loved me! I thought you wanted to spend the rest of your life with me! We planned a future together Harry! You never once stopped me! Not once did you say you didn’t see us together! You broke my heart. I just wanted you to hurt as much as I do!” cried Seamus.

“Well it didn’t work! All you did was make me angry. Soon the publicity will die down, but you will still be alone! I apologized to you for hurting you. I didn’t want to hurt you Seamus. I just didn’t see me living much longer, so I didn’t think it would hurt to let you plan. I never told you I loved you though, and up until the leaving feast, you never said it to me either, so don’t say I deceived you on that end. I’m leaving now, and I don’t ever want to see or hear from you again, or you will be facing the end of my wand. Got it?”

Seamus shakily nodded his head and Harry floo’d to Dumbledore’s office so that he could get back home, and back to Draco. He is probably freaking out right about now, Harry thought. The office was empty when he got there, so he just continued on to Grimmauld Place, where he was not too surprised to see Dumbledore with a very anxious looking Draco.

“Harry! I was worried! You didn’t do anything stupid did you?” asked Draco.

“No Draco I didn’t hurt him or anything. We just yelled at each other and then I threatened him if he came near me again.”

“Harry my boy! Young Malfoy here was worried about you. He said you rushed off and he didn’t know where Mr. Finnigan lived, so he couldn’t go after you. You did a very foolish thing taking off like that, without back up. What if it had been a trap? I am very disappointed in you.” said Dumbledore.

“I’m sorry Headmaster. I wasn’t thinking. I was very upset by what Seamus had done. I promise I won’t do anything like that again.” said Harry, ashamed, and a little embarrassed at being scolded in front of Draco.

“Apology accepted. I must be going. I have a meeting to attend. Have a good day gentlemen.”

Dumbledore floo’d back to Hogwarts, leaving the two lovers alone. Harry went into one of the parlors and sat with his head in his hands. Draco hovered nervously. He had absolutely no idea what to do in situations like this.

“Harry? Is their anything I can do?”

“Can you just hold me a bit? I need to be held.”

“Of course.” said a surprised Draco.

He sat on the couch and pulled an duvet over the both of them, and they cuddled together. It wasn’t long before Harry fell asleep, safe and content in Draco’s arms. Draco followed soon after. About an hour later Harry woke up to tapping on the window. He gently pulled himself from Draco’s embrace and went to the window. It was two large owls with a bag between them.

He took the bag and gave the owls a treat and they flew away. He opened the bag up and it was full of letters. The top one was from Ron and Hermione.

~Harry~

Since your house is unpalatable, all your mail is coming to us. We will send more as it comes, unless you want us to destroy the ones from people you don’t know. Le me know what you want done.
How are you holding up? You didn’t reply to your letter this morning, and since Seamus is still alive, I am assuming your just avoiding people. Please don’t push us away. I need to know if your okay. I know this is the last thing you wanted to happen, but it will be okay. The Wizarding world is very open minded about homosexuality, and things will die down soon enough.
Please respond to this letter in a timely manner or I am going to contact the Headmaster so I can come see for myself that you are okay.

Love,

Hermione and Ron


‘I better write her back now!’ Harry though to himself.

~Mione and Ron~

Don’t worry about me. I am fine. I took the news badly and went to confront Seamus. Don’t worry. I didn’t do anything stupid. We just yelled at each other a bit and then I left. How do you know he isn’t dead? Have you heard from him? As for any future letters, please only forward the ones from people I know. I really don’t feel like dealing with all those people. Thanks for everything.

Love,

Harry


He sent the letter off with Hedwig and when he returned to the couch, Draco was waking up.

“Your awake. Thanks for comforting me. It meant a lot.” said Harry, a bit shyly. He didn’t know how Draco would react to his moment of weakness.

“I enjoyed it myself, but your welcome. Hey, what’s all this?” He asked, indicating the bag full of letters.

“Mail. It’s being sent to Ron and Hermione since Grimmauld Place is unpalatable. They forwarded it to me. I told her to destroy anymore if I don’t know the sender. Want to help me go through it all?”

“Sure.”

“Great. Lets get started, but first I think I will have Dobby bring us some tea. It might take us awhile.”

Harry summoned Dobby and ordered some tea and Draco and him started reading the mail, sorting it into piles based on the content. They had: Hate Mail, Love letters, support letters and letters from people he knew.


“Bloody Hell!” yelped Harry about 20 minutes into the sorting.

“What is it Harry?” asked Draco, who was startled at Harry’s sudden outburst.

“Listen to this letter:

/'Potter~

You are a filthy, disgusting creature who shouldn’t be allowed to live! How dare you disgrace the Wizarding World with your disgusting presence?” You must die!//

Good Gods! I thought the Wizarding World was more opened minded than that! How could somebody think that I should die just because I prefer to sleep with men instead of women?”

“We ARE Harry! I think that letters like this will be in the minority. Most Wizards believe that who you choose to spend your life with is based on compatibility with your magic, not gender. Wizards value power above all else. If a wizard is compatible to another wizard, then so be it. There is even a potion that purebloods use to help wizards get pregnant, so that they may carry on the family name. It is rarely used since there are some dangers to it. Don’t let a few bigoted arse’s bother you.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t let anybody make me feel bad about myself. The letter just surprised me is all. Wait! Did you say that there is a potion to allow wizards to bear children? I‘ve never heard that before!” said an astonished Harry.

“Yes, they can. It’s not very common, and as I said before, mostly with purebloods. Especially the ones with only one or two heirs.”

“It never fails to amaze me the amount of stuff I still don’t understand or know about our culture.”

“No one can really blame you. Your muggle borne. You don’t grow up knowing these things, and if nobody tells you, how will you know? I’ve often thought that Hogwarts should have a mandatory class for muggle bones to teach them about the Wizarding world and their cultures.” said Draco.

“That’s a good idea Draco! Why haven’t you ever suggested it?”

“I had to maintain my appearance of being a muggle hating pureblood. I didn’t want to risk it.” he explained.

“Oh. Well, maybe you can suggest it next time you see Dumbledore.” suggested Harry.

“Maybe.”

The went back to sorting the letters, and after an hour they had:

26 hate letters.

203 letters of support

63 propositions

And several from disappointed witches and a few from friends that were a bit angry that Harry had kept his sexuality from them.

“Well, that’s not too bad Harry. I told you we were more opened minded. You have more propositions than hate mail.”

“Yeah. Thank Merlin. I have enough people trying to kill me, I don’t need any more. I think I will write a letter to the Daily Prophet to thank my supporters, and reply directly to my friends. I should probably keep the hate mail just in case. Thanks for helping me.”

“No problem Harry. I just enjoy spending time with you.”

Harry smiled and leaned over to kiss Draco, who pulled him closer and deepened the kiss.

Harry adjusted his position, so that he was straddling Draco, their already throbbing erections pressing together.

They started a gently rocking motion. Somehow they each knew that the other didn’t want this to end anytime soon.

“Cloths…need them off…now!” Gasped Draco.

Harry grabbed his wand (the real one…not his figurative one! He he) and performed a spell to remove all their cloths.

They both gasped loudly at the sudden sensation of skin on skin and they sped up involuntary.

“Need to slow down-won’t last long like this.” groaned Draco.

“I don’t know if I can. Oh gods Draco! Fuck! This feels too good!” Harry panted, thrusting even harder.

He leaned down and drew Draco into a deep kiss. He traveled lower and suckled on one nipple, causing Draco to arch his back at the sensation. He moved up, and nibbled on the sensitive skin behind his ear and then licked the spot to soothe it. Draco whimpered at the sensation.

Draco leaned forward and kissed down Harry’s collar bone, occasionally nibbling and licking a spot that seemed extra sensitive on Harry. All to soon for the, the thrusting became more urgent, signaling their approaching orgasms.

“Harry…oh gods…I love you!” Draco groaned out.

“Oh gods Draco.. I love you too.” gasped Harry.

At Harry’s announcement, Draco reached his completion, whispering Harry’s name and arching up towards him. Soon after, Harry shuddered his release with a soft cry of “Draco!”

He slumped forward with his face buried in Draco’s neck. He fit perfectly he thought idly, and decided to rest there for a few moments.

“Did you really mean it Harry? Do you really love me?” asked Draco, hopefully.

“Yes my love. I don’t know when it happened, but I love you so much. More than I ever thought I could love someone.”

Draco caressed Harry’s face before giving him a sweet, loving kiss. He took Harry in his arms and they curled up on the floor with a summoned blanket and fell asleep.

Sometime later, they awoke to the sound of someone hitting with floor with a thud.

They sat up to find Professor Snape sitting on his arse with a disgusted, shocked look on his face.

“Severus! What are you doing?” asked a very embarrassed Draco.

“Trying to leave so that I can obliviate my memory of what I just saw! What are you doing Draco? Are you crazy? This is Harry Potter!”

“I am perfectly aware of who he is Sev! I love him, and he loves me, and that’s all I care about! We both deserve to be happy after what we have gone through. Now, what are you doing here?”

“I came to bring you a letter from your father, and to check up on you. I wanted to see how you were holding up, what with you being holed up here with only Potter for company. I see now that you are managing quite well, so I will take my leave.” he said stiffly, holding out the letter.

Draco took the letter, but grabbed Snape’s hand too.

“Don’t Sev. Don’t leave. Will you join us for a late lunch?”

“I’m sure that Mr. Potter would rather dine alone than with his evil potions master.” sneered Snape

“Actually Professor, I don’t mind. You and Draco are obviously close. I would be happy to share my table with you. I’m sure that Dobby made more than enough. Please, join us.”

“See Sev? Harry doesn’t mind.” said Draco, happily.

“Fine. But please, no touching, groping or kissing. I don’t think my mind could handle anymore of THAT.” he sneered.

Harry gritted his teeth, but bit back a retort. He would endure Snape’s presence in silence, for Draco.

“Come on love. Let’s shower and get dresses. A blanket is not appropriate attire for the dinner table. The meal should be ready by then.” said Harry.

They stood up with the blanket covering them both, and Snape turned around so the couldn’t see them and they rushed up the stairs and into Harry’s room.

“Thanks for inviting Severus to dinner Harry. It means a lot to me.” said Draco, Pulling Harry into a tender embrace.

“Anything for you Draco. I love you. I think I can endure a couple of hours of Snape for you. We better get cleaned up. We don’t want to keep him waiting.”

They showered and dressed in record time and quickly went to the kitchen, where Snape was already waiting, along with a plate full of food.

“Potter! That infernal House Elf of yours wouldn’t leave me alone until I took a plate of food. He had the audacity to suggest that I was too skinny!” snapped Snape, the minute they were through the door.

“Sorry Professor. Dobby just likes to take care of people. He doesn’t mean any harm.” said Harry, trying not to laugh.

Snape glared at Harry and turned his attention to Draco, who was taking a seat close to him.

“So Draco, have you two been teaching each other like the Headmaster told you to, or have you just been shagging like bunnies since you got here?” he demanded.

Draco shot Harry a look, and turned back to Snape.

“Harry is going to be teaching me to be an animagus. He gave me a book that I am reading. After I finish it we are going to perform the spell to determine what my animagus form will be.” Draco replied, not bothering to tell Snape that he had yet to start reading it.

That was the tone set for dinner. Snape never acknowledged Harry again. It was very awkward for Harry and he was extremely grateful when Snape took his leave.

Draco turned to Harry with a grateful look on his face.

“Thank you again Harry. I know that was absolutely terrible for you, but I needed to hear about my father. I have been so worried about him.”

“I know. I also know that you care about Snape. I love you, and if putting up with him makes you happy, then so be it.”

“Oh Harry! I love you!” said Draco, pulling him into a kiss. A few moments later, Harry reluctantly broke the kiss.

“Not that I am not enjoying this love, but we can’t afford to get distracted again so soon. You really need to start reading that animagus book.”

“I know, your right. I put it in the study. I’ll start reading it now.”

“Okay. I’ll go with you. I need to finish my correspondence.”

They proceeded to the study, where Harry sat at one of the desks and Draco settled in a large chair.

It took Harry a good two hours to finish his correspondence and write that article to the Daily Prophet. When he was done, he looked over at Draco to see him setting the book down.

“Did you finish reading it love?”

“Yes. It was very interesting. Can you perform that spell tonight?” he asked eagerly.

“Sure. We can do it right now if you want.”

“I do.”

“Okay. Stand up. When I perform the spell, I will see your animagus form superimposed over you, and you will see it in your mind. Ok?”

Draco nodded yeas, and stood before Harry.

“Revealus Animagus.”*

Harry looked at Draco in surprise and pleasure. Superimposed over him was a beautiful silver Dragon. Not a full size one. It appeared to be a dwarf, but it was a dragon none the less.**

Draco was very pleased. Especially since it wasn’t a ferret. Plus, it was a magical creature. This proved that he was more powerful than he thought.

“Wow Draco. You’re a beautiful Dragon. I can’t wait to fly with you.” said Harry, in awe.

“Me neither. Okay. I want to make my lesson plan tonight. I figure, we can do two hours training each, everyday except the weekends. Then we can have the rest of the day to ourselves. How does that sound?” said Draco, getting back to business. He couldn’t wait to be able to transform, and fly with his love.

“That’s fine. I’m going to fire call Dumbledore, take a shower and head to bed. Meet me up there soon?”

“Yes. I pretty much have it planned out in my mind already. I just want to get it on paper and have you and Dumbledore approve it tomorrow.” answered Draco.

“Good, because I want you to make love tonight.” Said Harry, with a leer.

*I just made up that spell. I don’t know if there is a proper one to do it, but it sounded alright to me.

**I have never heard of a dwarf dragon, so I don’t know if they exist in canon, but I don’t care, it’s my story and I didn’t want Draco to be a huge creature. I like the idea of them flying together. It sounds romantic.


Also, only two people replied to my survey. They both said they wanted longer chapters. I am keeping the survey open a little longer though. This was 10 word pages. Is it long enough for you? Let me know. Ladyblaze251@wmconnect.com.

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!
