Chapter Nine – Encounters

The red color of Remus’s face deepened and Severus looked at him in the eye, his eyebrows raised. The werewolf looked away before hurriedly replying, “We really should be going,’ while grabbing Snape’s arm and dragging him down the hallway.

:You know: Draco commented, seeming lost in thought. :They look even better kissing than they do fighting.:

They resumed walking towards the kitchens as Harry nodded in response. As they rounded the corner, they nearly ran straight into Snape and Lupin, who had apparently decided they couldn’t walk for ten seconds without touching each other.

:I’m starting to see how Snape felt: Harry grumbled.

“I remember someone telling me that the hallway wasn’t the place for this,” the blonde said mockingly.

The potions professor leisurely removed his mouth from Lupin’s to glare murderously at his smirking godson. “Stop stalking us,” he growled.

Draco laughed. “You have a private room and you’re standing out in the hallway. Stop insulting me and go use it.”

Remus’s eyes brightened as he heard these words. “Good point,” he said, and started to drag the other man down the corridor. Severus opened his mouth totesttest, but Lupin silenced him by kissing him deeply. Snape was efficiently dumbfounded by this, allowing the werewolf to take his arm and guide him away from the smirking students.

:I can’t believe Snape complained about us: Harry said. :At least we can walk down a corridor without making out every ten seconds.:

:I wouldn’t be so sure about that: Draco said slyly, then pushed the Gryffindor against the wall roughly and brought his mouth tantalizingly close to that of his boyfriend’s. He grinned as he felt Harry’s breathing quicken. He gradually moved his mouth closer, until Harry groaned in frustration and placed his hands behind Draco’s neck to pull his head closer. The kiss that followed wasn’t gentle or tender; it was desperate and passionate and full of need and lust.

Harry switched their positions and pinned Draco against the wall with his body while trailing kisses down thle nle neck. Draco arched his neck, and Harry kissed lower until he came to the buttons of Draco’s shirt, which he unbuttoned one by one. Then he brought his head back up to kiss Draco again, who took this opportunity to undo Harry’s shirt as well. He let his hands caress the bare skin, then lightly brushed his hand against Harry’s groin. The Gryffindor moaned into the blonde’s mouth and moved Draco’s hand, pressing his entire body against Draco so that every part of them was touching. The raven-haired boy ground against Draco, nearly making him melt to the floor at the wave of pleasure that swept through his body, making him feel hot all over. But then the pressure was gone as Harry pulled away, and Draco opened his eyes slowly and reluctantly.

“What are you doing?” the blonde complained. “Going somewhere else,” Harry replied.

“But our rooms are in the other direction,” Draco said as Harry pulled him down the corridor.

“I know, but there’s something I’ve always wanted to see,” the Gryffindor replied.

“Please tell me you’re not taking me to a closet,” Draco said. Harry laughed. “Nope,” he replied. They walked in silence for ten minutes before the Slytherin became frustrated and sent a strong wave of desire to Harry to remind him where they had left off.

“We’re here, stop trying to distract me,” the raven-haired boy said. “But there’s nothing here,” Draco said in confusion.

“Kiss me,” Harry instructed, and Draco obliged. The Gryffindor pulled way after ten seconds and looked towards the wall, where a door had appeared. “What is this?” Draco asked.

“This,” Harry replied, “is the Room of Requirement. I would have thought that someonth yth your reputation would have known about it.”

“Sorry to disappoint you,” the Slytherin said dryly.

Harry went on as if he hadn’t spoken. “It’s a room that contains you whatever you are in need of at the present moment, and I’ve always wondered if it would provide a bed for couples who needed to be alone.” With that, he placed his hand on the knob and turned it.

The sight that greeted them was one that was likely to remain in their thoughts for a long time to come. Blaise Zabini was sprawled on a huge bed, clad only in black silk boxers, his head thrown back and eyes closed, as none other than Seamus Finnegan placed kisses on his exposed skin.

:That’s…that’s Seamus…and…and Zabini…: Harry said dumbly. This incredibly obvious comment broke the blonde from his trance.

Draco smirked. :Really, Harry? Because I couldn’t tell who it was, thank you ever so much for letting me know.:

The Gryffindor glared at his boyfriend before speaking again. :Do you think we should tell them we’re here…: He trailed off as he saw Draco’s smirk widen.

:Don’t torture them too much, Draco. How would you feel if they had walked in on us?:

Draco didn’t respond, justned ned his mouth and said in an overly loud voice, “You know, I always thought Blaise had a thing for guys.”

Seamus’s mouth froze on its path down Zabini’s body, as did the brunette’s movements on the bed. Both boys slowly turned their heads until Harry and Draco came into their view. Two pairs of eyes widened and they jumped apart, both turning a deep red. Blaise quickly began pulling his pants on while Seamus stammered, “Um…I…I was just…”

“Why are you even trying to make up an excuse?” Draco laughed. “So tell me, Zabini. All those times I thought you were staring at my arse…were you?”

Blaise blushed and looked down, suddenly finding the buttons on his shirt fascinating. Harry glared at the brunette, unwilling to let anyone else think about looking at his boyfriend’s arse. The blonde noticed this and slid an arm around Harry’s shoulders. “Come on, Harry. It’s not like I said I liked him staring at my arse.”

Seamus’s blue eyes narrowed. “Wait…why are you two here together anyway?”

:Do you think it’s ok if they know?:

Draco nodded while replying, :Zabini’s a good person. He’s said a lot of things that make me think he’s not exactly in favor of Voldemort, and he’s trustworthy. And I’m guessing Finnegan is okay, considering all you Gryffindors are alike.:

:Hey! I don’t appreciate that.:

The Slytherin rolled his eyes while grabbing Potter’s arms and pulling him close for a kiss. Harry shut up quickly, wrapping his arms around Draco’s neck to kiss him harder. He gently bit Draco’s lip, causing the other boy to gasp and open his mouth, allowing Harry’s tongue to enter and caress Draco’s. Both moaned and Draco’s arms tightened around Harry’s waist and they stood like that for a minute before pulling apart and turning to face two very dumbfounded people.

“I believe that answers your question,” Draco said smugly, grinning at the looks on their faces.

“Yea, it also makes me want to join you” Blaise said, mouth hanging open, and received a smack on the arm for Seamus for this. “What??” he exclaimed indignantly. “Like you weren’t thinking the exact same thing.”

“Good point,” Seamus admitted.

“So,” Draco interrupted. “What’s this thing you two have? Is it just a fuck of the moment thing or what?”

They laughed at Draco’s phrasing before glancing at each other, seeming unsure. “You can trust us,” Harry spoke up gently. “As you probably guessed, we have a rather large secret of our own to keep.”

The other two were silent for a moment before Seamus said, “Tell us about you two first.”

Draco sighed before turning to his boyfriand and saying “Are all Gryffindors this childish?” A hand came up and smacked him on the back of his head. “Ow!” he cried. “There’s no need for violence.”

Harry rolled his eyes and turned back to Seamus and Blaise. “Draco and I realized we were attracted to each other at the beginning of this year and we’ve basically been dating since then.”

“You know, it’s not really all that surprising,” Blaise commented. “Why?” Harry asked.

“Well, you two are the hottest guys in the school, not including Seamus and myself of course,” he said cheekily, and Draco laughed. “A lot of people have been thinking that you two making out would be the hottest thing they’ve ever seen, and I’ve got to say they’re right.”

“What people are these?? And how come we’ve never heard anything about this?”

“Well, while you’re the hottest guys, you also have short tempers. No one wanted to be the one to piss off Harry Potter or Draco Malfoy by suggesting that you two find a closet and make out or something.”

Both Harry and Draco nodded. “Yea, I can see why they wouldn’t have said anything. I probably wouldn’t have reacted too well,” the raven-haired boy said.

“But I did catch you staring at Potter’s arse quite a few times last year.” Blaise grinned. Draco blushed and looked down at the floor.

“So anyway,” Harry said, quickly changing the subject. “What’s the story with you guys?”
“Well,” Seamus said, “we’ve been together for…” He stopped and took a deep breath. “The beginning of fifth year.”

“Wow,” Harry and Draco said simultaneously. “A year? How is that no one noticed that anything was different?”

“We know that if anyone found out that we could most definitely lose each other, and we weren’t willing to risk that because we care about each other too much for that. So we were just really careful not to act any different around each other,” Seamus replied. “Which is more than I can say for you two,” Zabini added. “What was with the whole walking into the Great Hall practically holding hands thing? How stupid do you think people are?”

Potter winced. “So people are still talking about that.” Blaise snorted. “Damn right they are.”

“Actually, one person knows about us,” Finnegan put in. “Snape. He caught us once.”

“God damn Sev,” Draco grumbled. “Why must he know everything?” Then his fact brightened as something occurred to him. “Well,” he said slowly, “since he knows about you two, then it’s only fair that you know that he’s with Lupin right now.”

“Lupin?!” they exclaimed. “Uh-huh,” Draco said, nodding, enjoying their shock. “We caught them making out in the corridor on our way here.”

“I didn’t even know Lupin was here at Hogwarts,” Seamus said thoughtfully. “He’s helping Dumbledore with something,” Harry replied quickly.

“Okay, while this conversation is incredibly entertaining, I want to make out with my boyfriend, so we’re gonna go,” Draco said suddenly. “We all figured out by now that everything said in this room is a secret, right?” Three heads nodded. “Right then,” he said sharply, and led Harry from the room.

“Potter and Malfoy,” Blaise said dazedly. “That has got to be the hottest thing I’ve ever seen.” He then grabbed Seamus by the shoulders and threw him down on the bed, kissing him roughly while removing his shirt.

“Your turn,” he said, his voice thick with appreciation.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Zabini and Seamus,” Harry said in wonder when they reached their room. “There’s something I never thought I’d see.”

The blonde laughed. “That’s because you’re incredibly oblivious, Potter.”

The Gryffindor was about to retort but Draco cut him off. “Emerald dragon,” he said quickly and when they entered he promptly threw Harry down on the couch and began kissing him again.

The raven-haired boy responded eagerly at first, then seemed to run out of energy. Draco didn’t notice, he just sucking and biting Harry’s neck. “Draco,” Harry said reluctantly. “Hmmm?” Draco red. ed.

“Please don’t kill me, but I’m kind of tired.”

The blonde head rose slowly until silver met emerald. “Are you serious?”

Harry nodded, looking apologetic. “I don’t want to get into anything right now because I want to be completely in the moment whenever I’m with you.”

The Slrin rin ed ied in defeat at these heartfelt words and slowly moved off Harry. “I guess it is pretty late by now,” he said. “Let’s just go to sleep,” he continued while taking Harry’s hand and pulling him up off the couch.

When they reached Harry’s bedroom, Draco kissed him on the check before saying “I’m going to go change, I’ll be back in a minute.” Harry nodded and when Draco left he pulled off his own clothing and changed into his pajamas, minus the shirt.

It seemed that both had the same idea, because when Draco walked in a moment later, he was also shirtless. He pulled Harry next to him on the bed and held him close.

:Draco?: Are you disappointed in me?:

:No, love. I’d never be disappointed in you.: He placed a kiss on Harry’s forehead and yawned. :Plus, now that you mentioned it, I’m pretty tired myself.:

the Slytherin fell sleep almost instantly, to Harry’s surprise. He looked at Draco’s sleeping features, amazed by how peaceful he looked. With his pale hair and fine features, he looked like an angel. :My angel.: Harry thought before drifting off, not noticing the smile that had appeared on Draco’s face at those words.
