Chapter 5: The Best Date, Harry’s Secret Life, Giving It Up

Are you really? Harry, that’s great,” Hermione was excited.

It is for me, but not the people I serve dope to,” Harry said from the bathroom turning on the water. “No more dope for anybody since I’m not using. I’ll be hell bent on ridding this school of drugs.” Harry laughed hard. “Oh my god. I can’t believe I just said that.” Harry stopped speaking and they all knew he was in the shower washing.

Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter,” Dean said rubbing his eyes with his fingertips. “I must be in some alternate universe.”

We’ve seen them together, Dean,” Seamus said. “And…they look…well, good together if you can imagine that.”

I think Harry went for Malfoy because they are almost equal here at Hogwarts,” Hermione said. “Draco is very strong willed and a leader. Harry would desire to find that in a person, I think. It’s evident that Harry doesn’t like weakness and especially any sub-servant female. That’s the way he is.”

Harry wanted somebody he could fight with,” Ron said. Seamus and Dean nodded.

But they don’t fight,” Hermione said.

Harry has been with half the school, Herm,” Seamus said. “And I’m bisexual, too. So I understand where Harry would want to hook up with someone that…well, wasn’t so soft all the time. It’s good to be able to have it rough once in a while and even be physically…well, aggressive with another person. And I’ve found that women aren’t generally acceptable to wrestling with me.”

That’s not necessarily true,” Hermione said. “Women like it rough sometimes, too, Seamus. It just has to be the at right time and not all the time.”

Are you saying you could be rough with me?” Ron asked with a grin.

I’m saying I could hurt you bad, baby,” Hermione said. Harry laughed from the bathroom. “Shut up you fruitcake before I slap you silly.”

Bring it on,” Harry said. “I might like it.”

Lay off my woman, boy,” Ron said. Harry came out of the bathroom wearing boxers towel drying his hair.

Who in the hell started that boy who lived bullshit anyway? I swear to each one of you in this room if I ever find the person who started that, I will kill them with my bare hands,” Harry said. “And I’m not a boy anymore, Ronniekins. And I’d prove it to you if you weren’t so sickeningly straight.”

But you can’t do that,” Hermione grinned. “You have a relationship now, Harry, lest you forget.”

How could I forget that?” Harry asked. “Best thing to ever happen to me. And it’s with Draco. Who would have thought?” Harry asked himself as he was sliding into his nice crisp white shirt. “Actually I would have. I’ve wanted to nail him for two years.” Harry said. “But that was just for fun. It’s much better in reality. And I know you know that Seamus.”

Yes, I do,” Seamus said. “I’m jealous, Harry.”

Tough shit,” Harry said. “Draco is mine and he’ll never want for anything more than what I can give him.”

Little bit confident aren’t you?” Ron taunted. “You’re not all that, Harry.” Ron teased.

Ron, honey, you have no idea what I can do,” Harry said with that arrogant drawled. “But I can give you just a taste of it by touching you.”

Bring it then,” Ron said. Harry walked over the put his hand on Ron’s neck and sent a hard wave of pure sexual pleasure through Ron’s body. “Oh fuck!” Ron grabbed his now throbbing cock as Harry went to his own bed and laughed as he fastened his pants and was putting on his belt. “What the fuck was that? How did you do it and please, oh god do it again.”

Can’t do it,” Harry said looping his belt through the loops. “That’s only for Draco. Can you imagine that times ten and during some incredible mind blowing sex? Oh hell it’s good.”

I’ll say,” Ron said thinking it over.

Do that to me, Harry. I want to feel it,” Hermione said.

Sorry. You said I was too skinny and I’m pissed at you,” Harry said as he was sliding his feet into his shoes.

You sorry bastard. Get over here and give it to me before I punch you,” Hermione said. Harry walked over and placed a hand on her thigh lightly and sent the thrilling orgasmic wave up through her body toward her crotch. Hermione gasped and whimpered lightly. “Oh hell yes…oh my god that is so damn good. I could get used to that.”

Give me some,” Dean pleaded.

Oh hell,” Harry said crossing the room. Harry gave the shocking wave of orgasm through them both and left them breathless. “Now. You can’t have it again so I hate to tell you that I’m taken. Sorry.” Harry laughed at himself.

That is some good shit,” Dean said of the feeling. “I still feel it. Hell, I’m hard as a rock now. Look what you did, Harry.”

Take care of it yourself. I’m saving myself for my pureblood Slytherin lover,” Harry said with a laugh. “I can’t believe I said that. Me and Malfoy.”

Does Albus know?” Seamus asked.

Yeah, he does,” Harry said. “He almost had a heart attack.” Harry laughed as he was combing his hair. “What the fuck is up with my hair? Hermione, come help me.”

You’re pathetic,” Hermione insulted. “You fight evil and can’t even comb your damn hair the right way.” They all laughed at the irony of it.

Hermione, did you tell Harry about that spell you found for him last week?” Ron asked the two in the bathroom.

Oh, Harry, I found a spell that lasts for four hours which focuses your eyes so you don’t have to wear your glasses,” Hermione said. “I tried it on Dennis Creevey and it worked perfectly.”

Give it to me now and I won’t wear my glasses tonight,” Harry said.

You want it for tonight?” Hermione asked finishing with Harry’s hair. “There. That looks nice. For once.”

Shut up. But that does look nice. Give me the spell,” Harry said. Harry followed Hermione out of the bathroom so that she could get her wand. Harry sat on the bed. Just to be irritating Hermione aimed her wand at his throat. “Kill me if you want.” Harry held out his hands. “You think this is first time I’ve had a wand at my throat?”

Hell no,” Hermione said. “I know it’s not.”

I’m not afraid of you because you have no intent. I sense things like that you know,” Harry said. “It’s an Occlumens thing. Come on. Give me that spell.” Hermione nodded and backed up a bit. With a flick and swish she cast the occulus spell and Harry blinked several times and looked around.

Well?” Hermione asked.

Perfect. Thanks,” Harry said. “I’ll remember that. And I’ll reward you for it.”

You don’t have to reward me for anything, stupid,” Hermione said. “I just happened across that spell while studying in the restricted section.”

You just cast me a dark arts spell?” Harry asked.

Sort of,” Hermione said. “It’s not a dark arts spell, actually. It was for clearing and focusing vision.”

I’ve already had seven Unforgivables today, Herm. I don’t need anything else,” Harry said.

Seven? All pain curses?” Ron asked.

No, two were that Imperius crap that never worked on me to begin with,” Harry said as he was sliding the tie around his neck. Harry walked to the mirror to fix his tie and Hermione couldn’t take it anymore.

Here. Turn around,” Hermione said. Harry let her fix his tie.

Hermione will make you a good wife, Ron,” Harry teased. “Won’t you, Herm?”

Harry, lean down. I can’t reach you,” Hermione said. Harry did as requested and their faces were close.

It looks like you’re about to kiss her,” Seamus laughed.

He won’t,” Ron said. Harry took Hermione’s face in his palms and kissed her deeply for a moment until Ron pulled Harry back and Harry laughed.

Ron, I think I deserved that,” Harry said as Hermione finished his tie.

There,” Hermione said of the tie. “Much better. And you kiss well, Harry.”

Thanks,” Harry checked out the tie. “That does look good. Okay.” Harry went across the room and popped open his trunk and fumbled through it.

Don’t be kissing my woman, Harry,” Ron said.

Why not?” Harry asked giving Ron the look. “Ron, Draco is a great kisser.” Harry grinned. Ron tried to look as if he knew nothing.

Is he?” Ron asked remembering kissing Draco in the locker room as Harry watched.

Oh, yes,” Harry teased. “He’s better than you are.”

Never,” Ron said with a grin. Harry laughed and put on a dab of cologne and picked up his tiepin that was silver and in the shape of a griffin.

Draco will hate that,” Harry said of the tie pin. “So I’ll wear it anyway.” Harry grinned and put the tiepin on and was dressed fully. “How do I look?”

Fabulous,” Seamus said.

Perfectly fuckable,” Dean said. Harry laughed.

You’d better not let Draco hear you say that,” Ron said. “Especially if Harry’s been giving Draco that little burst of sex he just gave each of us.”

Draco loves it,” Harry said checking his watch. “I have a half hour.” Harry stood and put his finger on his lip in thought. “I have two things I need to do. And…everyone will see me in this suit. So, I’ll need to use my cloak.” Harry dug into his trunk again for his invisibility cloak.

You’ve not used that in a while,” Ron said.

I don’t need to anymore,” Harry said. “I have virtually nothing to hide.”

Except your relationship with Malfoy,” Seamus said. Harry sighed.

I don’t know,” Harry said. “I wouldn’t care one way or the other. But we decided that since he’s DE and in Slytherin that we’d need to lay off with the public service announcements for a while. And…there are a few other reasons, but we’ll be seen together some in public soon.”

Starting with that Slytherin party,” Dean said. Harry nodded as he walked to his closet again and pulled out two nice black capes.

Which one, Herm?” Harry asked. Hermione looked at each closely and chose the more appropriate for Harry’s suit and Hermione assisted him with putting it over his shoulders. Harry clasped the cape at his breastbone and took in his final appearance in the mirror.

You look so nice,” Hermione said with her kind smile. “Draco will have a fit seeing you in that.”

He’s wearing that black silk cape that I just love,” Harry said. “He always looked so good in it. Don’t you think?”

Yes, he does,” Hermione said. “Is that the one with the silver trim?”

Hell yes,” Harry said seductively. “Draco is so fine. And shut up, Seamus. I know you know that.”

I didn’t say anything,” Seamus said.

I read your thoughts, but I happen to agree with them. Draco does have a very nice ass,” Harry said with a grin. “Okay. I’m going.”

Where are you going on your date?” Hermione asked. “There’s hardly any place to go, Harry.”

London,” Harry said. “I’m taking Draco to the Mandarin.”

London? Do you have permission?” Dean asked. Harry gave Dean the look.

Do I look like I need permission from anyone to do any fucking thing?” Harry asked. “Don’t insult me, Dean.”

But, Harry. You should at least let someone know,” Ron said.

I just did,” Harry grinned at them all. “As far as you know, I have attended some banquet with Albus or some other lie if anyone asks. I should be away from the school until one or two in the morning and I’ll be in the den after that.”

Where?” Hermione asked. Harry gave a small laugh.

The den. My other room,” Harry said. “With Draco, of course. And with that, I will leave your company.” Harry turned toward the door.

Have fun,” Ron said slyly.

Ron, when Draco and I are together, I never know what will happen,” Harry said. “We’re both very odd at times, so…I could stay gone for a week. Don’t wait up.” Harry winked at them, pulled up his invisibility cloak and the vanished figure left the room.

Harry looks so fine,” Seamus said. “I’d give anything if I was with him.”

Why didn’t you ever tell him how you felt, Seamus?” Ron asked. “Harry never knew you were totally in love with him.”

I wasn’t in love with him exactly,” Seamus said as he flopped down on his bed. “But, hell. How could anyone not want Harry? He has that…whatever the hell it is that just fucks with my head. I’d give anything to have sex with Harry Potter.”

Seamus, Harry is your friend,” Hermione said. “You shouldn’t feel that way about your friends.”

Can you honestly say that you wouldn’t want to just fuck Harry one good time?” Dean asked Hermione. “Ron, do you mind if Hermione answers that question in all honesty?”

No, I don’t mind at all because Harry is one fine looking guy,” Ron said. “If I was so inclined and bisexual, I could go for Harry easy.”

You’re kidding me,” Hermione said. “I thought that Seamus would be more your type if you were into other guys.”

Yeah, Seamus is cute and has that swervy hips thing. And Seam is more soft and sweet,” Ron said.

Hell, let’s just all admit that we’d like to have a go with Harry in the sack,” Dean said. “And…I don’t think it’s just because of his name. Harry is…well, he’s just…down right sexy and totally fuckable. Slim and tanned…” Dean grunted.

Shut up, Dean, you’re not helping,” Seamus said. Hermione laughed.

I have thought about Harry that way, but…I would never act on that,” Hermione said. “It’s always been more about friendship with Harry. Hell, I’ve seen him naked enough times that I never even notice anymore. He does have a nice body, but he’s still too skinny.” They all laughed at Hermione’s assessment.

Am I too skinny, too?” Dean asked standing up and pulling up his shirt.

Yeah, you are,” Seamus said. “But you’re okay. Want to have sex with me?”

I could do that,” Dean said in his teasing way.

Oh hell,” Ron said standing up and taking Hermione’s hand. “Come on, Herm.”

Bye, you guys. Have fun,” Hermione said as they left the room.

Were you serious?” Dean asked Seamus who gave a soft look.

Yeah,” Seamus said. “You want to have sex with me? I’d do it.”

I’ve never been with another guy, Seamus,” Dean said. “And…well, you’re my best friend. That would be sort of odd, don’t you think?”

It might be,” Seamus said. “If you don’t want to, we won’t. But if we did, then afterward we could decide that it was just experimentation with each other and let it drop, or…if we wanted to we could…I don’t know, see if we want to continue with it maybe.”

Are you saying that we could have…some sort of…relationship? Like…a real relationship together?” Dean asked.

I’m not rushing it, Deano,” Seamus said. “But…you know I love you already as my best friend. Maybe that could grow into something else.” Seamus reached out his hand to Dean who looked at the hand.

Be gentle with me,” Dean said timidly as he took the hand offered.

Harry left the common room and headed directly toward the den. Harry was almost shaking when he arrived. After the spoon was heated and three syringes were drawn, Harry plunged the vein with one and took the high that was needed to sate his body with the drug. He put the other two into his pocket for later if needed.

Dammit,” Harry whispered at having to do this ritual to feel normal. Harry went through the bucket of cash and counted out all the money again. Harry took the whole amount except for a few small pieces of change and stuffed it into his wallet. Hemmlett would be giving Harry the money tonight for the upcoming delivery of the load of dope. Harry walked from the den in the invisibility cloak up to the Ravenclaw common room where he waited for a moment, gave the password and entered. Harry moved silently through the dorm rooms until he found Hemmlett’s room where Paul was speaking with two other boys. Harry pulled off the cloak and shrank it quickly stuffing it into his pocket.

Come,” Paul yelled from the room when Harry knocked. Harry entered and Paul’s eyes grew wide as did the other two boys’.

I need to speak with you,” Harry told Paul firmly. Paul motioned for the other two to leave and they did so. Harry closed the door and waved up a silencing ward. “You got the money?”

Right here,” Paul opened the drawer of his desk at which he sat and tossed the envelope carelessly on the bed. Harry picked it up and shuffled through it quickly.

I won’t be at the evening meal,” Harry said. “I have other matters to attend. Forgive the intrusion, but I wanted to see if you know Danny Witt in Slytherin.”

I know him. I’ve dealt to him before,” Paul said. Harry nodded. “Why?”

Danny has done me a small favor, and I wish to reward his loyalty,” Harry said. “If you had another slot for a seller, I’d like for you to consider him.”

And you trust him?” Paul asked. Harry tilted his head a bit.

For now I do,” Harry said. “He’s performing a task for me and I will wait for a few days to see how he’s done. If he holds up his end, then, I’d like for you to employ him as a slinger for the Slytherins. You know that all the snakes would come to Draco to get their shit for them anyway and I don’t want Draco around it anymore. If Danny were in the dungeon doing the dealing, then that takes care of it.”

I see,” Paul said. “Makes sense. You let me know if you want Danny in, and I’ll do as you ask now that our arrangement has been taken care of.”

It’s not finished, Paul,” Harry said. “You’re meeting me tomorrow. You know where.” Paul nodded obediently. “Fine. Nice room, by the way. I need to go.”

You are a sly one, Potter,” Paul said with a grin.

Don’t reveal my secrets and I won’t be forced to kill you, Paul,” Harry grinned kindly and gave a short wink as he left. When in the hallway, Harry pulled the invisibility cloak quickly, resized it and had it on and invisible in a matter of seconds. Harry quickly left the Ravenclaw area and headed back toward the den where it would only be a few minutes until Draco arrived. Harry entered to see that Draco was already present.

Lovely,” Harry said of Draco’s attire. “Simply magnificent.” Draco turned to give the full effect. “So damn sexy I can’t take my eyes off you.”

Harry, you look stunning,” Draco was very pleased. “Baby, you look great. Very, very fine.”

Are you trying to seduce me?” Harry teased with a pretend gasp.

Yes, lover,” Draco sauntered over to take Harry’s face in his hands. “I plan to make this a night you won’t ever forget.” Harry’s chest swelled with the anticipation, emotion and fullness of Draco’s words and touch before Draco’s warm moist lips were upon his own. Draco drew away from the kiss gently tugging on Harry’s lip. “Where are your glasses?”

Gone. Hermione found a spell for me that lasts for four hours,” Harry said. “But I have my glasses in my pocket just in case we stay out later than that. Are you ready to go?”

I was thinking that we are supposed to meet Hemmlett tonight for the cash,” Draco said.

I’ve taken care of it,” Harry said. “I have the money already. We’ll need to stop in and pick up the stash after we have our evening if that’s okay with you.”

Fine with me,” Draco said. “Are we going down the long corridor?”

No,” Harry said. “We’re taking a carriage to Hogsmeade and apparating from there.”

A carriage? You mean like a nice horse drawn ride on this moonlit night?” Draco asked.

Exactly,” Harry said softly. “Romantic, isn’t it?” Harry grinned.

Yes, very,” Draco said. “Do you treat all your dates so nicely?”

No,” Harry said. “I usually just get them high, fuck them silly, and send them on their way.”

No, what I meant was…a date,” Draco said. “Like, going out with someone. Do you treat all your dates so special?”

You can let me know,” Harry said. “I’ve never taken anyone out like this. I’ve had dates for school dances, the Christmas Ball and other functions, but never…never like this. This is special.”

I’m honored,” Draco was touched.

Yes, I’m sure you are,” Harry said sarcastically. “You always called me a the four eyed geek who couldn’t get a date. I guess you were right about that.”

Harry, you know what I meant,” Draco said embarrassed.

Yeah, I do,” Harry said. “You meant that I was a four eyed geek who couldn’t get a date.” They each laughed softly.

I’m sorry,” Draco said quietly.

No, I just wanted to remind you of that so you could eat those words at being my date,” Harry said with a laugh.

You’re evil,” Draco said. “You really like having revenge on me, don’t you? Is all this just some terribly cruel revenge on me? To make me…um…hate you and then you leave me?” Harry caught the word and it’s intended meaning.

No,” Harry said truthfully. “I would never hurt you like that. Others? Yeah, maybe. But not you.”

Why not me? I’ve been awful to you over the years, Harry,” Draco realized. “I can’t believe all the crap I’ve done to you. I could have killed you with that stunt during your Quidditch match when I knocked you off your broom. I remember you falling. Damn, I was so stupid.”

Don’t worry about it,” Harry said taking Draco’s hand. “I’ll get revenge for that, too.” Harry gave that evilly sexy smile.

So tonight is revenge for me teasing you about dating,” Draco stated. “What could be your revenge to me for making you fall?” Harry gave Draco a soft look at the last word.

Maybe I’m still falling,” Harry said softly. “Let’s go.” Harry pulled up the invisibility cloak, shrank it and put it into his pocket for safekeeping. Harry took Draco’s hand and guided it to the crook of his arm and led Draco from the room and out of the side door where a carriage was waiting for them. Harry assisted Draco into the driverless carriage and the thestral trotted away with them. It was a lovely warm evening at dusk and the last of the colors of sunset could be seen over the horizon to the west. The moon was full and a few of the brightest stars could be seen. The carriage ride was slow and even and Draco took Harry’s hand in his own and laced their fingers slowly.

This is so nice,” Draco lay his head back on the soft leather of the topless carriage.

Yes, it is,” Harry said.

How did you get this carriage anyway?” Draco asked. Harry grinned.

Don’t worry about it,” Harry said. “I know people and I get what I want.”

Yes, you do,” Draco said. “And that includes me, does it?”

No,” Harry said. “You came to me on your own. I was just fortunate.”

And you expect me to believe that bullshit?” Draco asked turning to Harry.

Yes,” Harry said with a grin. “It’s the truth. You showed up on the Astronomy Tower that one fateful night of your own accord.”

And what did I see? Some little blonde chick sucking you off,” Draco laughed shortly. “I never dreamed right then that I’d be doing it later.”

Draco, how do you feel about being with me?” Harry asked seriously. Draco looked to him almost offended. “Seriously.”

Harry, I…” Draco was almost speechless. “I would have thought you know by now how I feel about it. You are an Occlumens, after all.”

No, what I meant was how do you feel about being with me as in…am I okay to be with?” Harry asked looking hopeful. “I’ve never had a relationship, Draco and…I don’t know what I’m doing and I worry that…am I doing things right?”

Don’t ever compare yourself to others,” Draco said. “You are unlike any other wizard. So don’t even try to be. Do what you feel and don’t think about it so much. You make me very happy, Harry with just being yourself.”

Thank you,” Harry said lowly. “I’m happy with you, too. I really am.”

Let me ask you something,” Draco said having Harry’s full attention. “The first few times I was ever with you in the den, you…well, it’s like you gave me part leadership with your whole operation even at the beginning. You had no reason to do that. Why did you do it?” Harry had also thought of that question before.

I don’t know,” Harry said. “It just seemed logical at the time. Does that bother you?”

No, it doesn’t at all, but…you welcomed me so…so quickly that it was surprising,” Draco said. Harry thought for a moment more.

Draco…I…” Harry started. “There are very few people who feel genuinely toward me. Many proclaim their faithfulness and total devotion at my every whim and it’s a bunch of crap. Albus cares for me, as do Ron, Hermione and Lupin. But with you, I knew exactly where we stood with each other. We were opposites and I respected that. There was no reason to pretend it was something else and we were both comfortable with it. So, when you were there, I didn’t care one way or the other. We took what we wanted and that was it.”

I had considered that,” Draco said as they rode along and passed the gates of Hogwarts heading toward Hogsmeade in the carriage. The night was beautifully serene and calm. Each leaned a bit toward the other and their shoulders were touching as they held the hand of the other. “Do you think we’re moving too fast with us?”

I have less than two weeks,” Harry said. “I may die, Draco. There is that possibility however unlikely it seems. And so what if it goes a bit fast for us? We’re used to having what we want when we want it. If you want to slow down, though, I am more than willing to do that.”

No, I don’t want that at all,” Draco said. “But…with you, Harry, I mean…you’d not kissed anyone in a year until me. And now you’ve never had sex in that way and…well…is the two weeks you have left…or is it me?”

It’s you,” Harry said softly. “And to prove that to you, we won’t do anything until the Voldemort thing is over. I don’t want you to think that I’m living out my last days in some type of fuck fest because I think I’ll die. So we can wait.”

No, I don’t want to wait,” Draco said.

Too bad,” Harry teased. “You accuse me of only wanting you to fulfill some last fantasies before I get killed, and then you want to indulge me? No way. Forget it. You hurt my feelings, you mean person.” Harry teased.

Harry, please,” Draco lay his head on Harry’s shoulder. “I’m sorry. Forgive me?”

See? Now you’re just wanting forgiven because you want to use me,” Harry continued to grin. “You fucking Death Eater trash. Do they have some special class for Death Eaters that teaches them how to get to me and screw me over at every opportunity?”

Actually, yes they do,” Draco teased. “I’m a graduate with full marks. Honors diploma in that course. Aren’t you proud of me?”

Why, yes, I am,” Harry said. “You probably taught that class, didn’t you?”

No, Voldemort taught it,” Draco continued the tease.

Teacher’s pet,” Harry insulted and teach laughed softly. After a nice long ride, the carriage was trotting slowly through one of the finest neighborhoods on the outside of Hogsmeade. The carriage pulled up to a lone two story white home. Harry got out of the carriage and assisted Draco down. After taking hands, Harry led Draco to the house and knocked in a special way.

Whose house is this?” Draco asked.

Albus’ brother. Aberforth,” Harry said. “My uncle, if you think about it too much.” Draco snickered.

Coming, Harry,” Aberforth yelled and opened the door. “Did you enjoy your…” Aberforth saw Draco. “A Malfoy? You are bringing a Malfoy Death Eater into my house?”

I sure am,” Harry said as he pulled Draco inside with him. “You mention this to Albus and I’m sending you to the seventh level of hell.”

Got it,” Aberforth said lightly in a teasing way. Aberforth looked just as old as Albus, but had a very short beard and shorter hair. His kind face and bright smile made him appear friendly. Draco liked him at once. “And Malfoy junior, I suppose.” Aberforth held out his hand in greeting.

Draco Malfoy,” Draco said. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, sir.”

Sir? Hell, don’t call me that,” Aberforth laughed and went back to sit in what was undoubtedly his favorite ratty chair. “That makes me sound like an old man.”

You are an old man,” Harry said as he pulled Draco over to sit on the sofa for a moment. “You’re older than dirt.” Harry dug out his wallet and threw a hundred at Aberforth before cramming it back in his inside jacket pocket.

Thanks,” Aberforth said stuffing the bill in his shirt pocket. “It’s a pleasure, Harry.”

Choke on it. Just have the carriage ready for me when I get back,” Harry said. “You need anything?”

Hartleys, third shelf, four bottles of the blue,” Aberforth said. Harry nodded.

You got it,” Harry said. “I don’t know how long I’ll be out. Any questions and you never heard of me. Got it?”

Harry who?” Aberforth asked in humor and they all laughed.

I’m leaving your crazy ass now,” Harry said standing and Draco did the same. “Any word on the Azkaban thing?”

Not much,” Aberforth said. “Still planning it, I think. I’ll let you know what I hear.”

Let me know before Wednesday next,” Harry said. “I need to know anything no matter how small. Have Rosie keep an ear out and I’ll pay her due.” Aberforth nodded to the instructions. “Thanks.” Harry took the old man’s hand in a grip before he turned to Draco. “You ready for a night out on the town?”

Always,” Draco said. Harry took Draco’s hand and kissed it before taking the other and Apparating them away. They appeared in a small dark sitting room of a house that seemed to be uninhabited. Harry led Draco through the room and into the hallway and to the door where Harry peeped out looking both ways before opening the door. Draco looked ahead to see black taxicab waiting for them. “You are just too damn good.”

I know people,” Harry said leading Draco to the automobile and opening the door for him to enter. When they were both seated, Harry told the cab driver to take them to the Mandarin and off they went. Draco watched the lights of London out the windows and took Harry’s hand again in his own and held it tightly savoring his touch.

This is so nice, Harry,” Draco said softly while looking out the window. “It feels so free to be away from…”

Draco,” Harry interrupted before the last word. “We’ll need to not mention any locales on our night out. And if there are any…well, uninvited guests that may arrive, please mention nothing of significance.”

Like what?” Draco asked.

Nothing about me,” Harry said. “Or the world as we know it.” Draco nodded knowing Harry meant about being a wizard. The long cab ride was wonderful and each pointed out different locations they were aware of and places they’d like to visit. The taxi stopped and Harry paid the meter plus a very generous tip to the driver as they exited the cab. “Please be back here in an hour and half and I’ll make it worth your while.” Harry told the driver who nodded curtly. Harry took Draco’s hand and put it lightly over his arm and led him up the steps to the Mandarin and inside the posh finery. One of the waiters came over quickly.

Harry, so good to see you. Would you like to speak with Ravius?” the waiter asked.

Yes, Michael. Please tell him that I’m here and I require one of his finest tables,” Harry said. “For me and my guest.” Michael assessed Draco and nodded respectfully to them before leaving.

You just have this city wired up, don’t you?” Draco asked.

You have no idea,” Harry said with a grin. “I finally figured out that having my name might not be so bad. And like a good snake, I use it like a bad credit card.” Each gave a tiny smirk.

Draco was very pleased at the formality and luxuriousness of the Mandarin. Everything in the place was on a grand and exquisite scale. Artwork, sculptures and rich dark mahogany were everywhere. The atmosphere was dark and pleasantly cool. The sounds of the piano played throughout the rooms and the hushed murmur of the patrons and tinkling of glasses and silverware were muted in the dining area. A taller, well-dressed man came to greet them.

Harry, so good to have you,” Ravius spoke in his aristocratic voice and held out his hand. Harry shook it politely. “It’s been a while since I’ve seen you.”

Yes, I thought I’d drop by to see you and bring my very special guest to your fine establishment,” Harry complimented. “Irrit Ravius, this is Draco Malfoy. Draco this is Ravius. He is the owner of the Mandarin and a very good friend of mine.”

It’s a pleasure to meet anyone that Harry would bring,” Ravius said. “I hope you enjoy our services, Mister Malfoy.”

Thank you, sir,” Draco said. “I noted your Keriel artwork of the second dynasty. Quite exquisite and very nice. I own ‘The Handiel’ and his other third period piece, ‘Crownicus.’” Draco said.

How extraordinary,” Ravius was wide-eyed and very impressed. “Those pieces are priceless.”

Yes, they are,” Draco said arrogantly. “I’ve owned them for a few years now. I’ve always been drawn to Keriel’s freeform style and use of muted blends.”

They are remarkable, aren’t they?” Ravius asked and noticed Harry’s expectant look. Ravius snapped his fingers and the waiter, Michael came immediately to him. “Michael, please seat Harry and Mister Malfoy at my personal table and give them whatever they wish. Harry, would it be possible for me to come speak with you at your table after dinner?”

Certainly,” Harry said kindly. “Could you send a bottle of your finest to our table, Ravius. I would be most appreciative.”

By all means,” Ravius said. “I will select it personally. Enjoy your dinner.” Each nodded kindly to Ravius and followed Michael to a table which was comfortable and private and atop the highest part of the restaurant overlooking the entire restaurant but not noticeable by other guests. Michael pulled out the chair for Draco and Harry sat while Michael gave them each menus.

I’ll bring your wine,” Michael said to Harry. “And your appetizer if you’d like.”

Whatever Draco selects,” Harry said. Draco looked over the menu and chose the stuffed portabella mushrooms with creamy wine sauce. Michael took the order and left. “Ravius was impressed with your possession of fine art.”

I am equally impressed with his,” Draco said. “There are several rare and highly prized pieces here. There is one very small nude figure over along on that wall. See?” Draco pointed out the small figure that Harry could barely see from so far away. “That is Gaelis ‘Brothered Fount’ nude. I’d love to own that. It’s exquisite and absolutely marvelous.”

I am embarrassed by my lack of knowledge of art,” Harry said. “I can appreciate the talent and artistic nature of pieces, but as far as knowing the artisans, I have never been privy to learn such things.” Draco took Harry’s hand on the table.

I’ll teach you,” Draco said. “It may take me few years, but I can do it.” Draco told the same words to Harry that he’d been told about learning some of Harry’s skills. “All you’ve been taught is fighting to live your whole life, Harry.” Harry nodded a bit. “That’s sad in a way. There are so many other things to learn about that you’d enjoy.”

I do enjoy DADA,” Harry said. “Well, I did enjoy it. I’m a natural at it, wouldn’t you say?” The pair laughed at the irony.

Like you had a choice in that?” Draco asked.

Touché,” Harry said. Michael returned with the selected wine, showed them both the fine selected label and poured each a glass before setting the wine in the ice bucket and serving their portabella mushrooms to each and leaving the platter on the table.

Ravius suggested that I mention to you either the fresh lobster or the minted lamb as his special guests,” Michael said. Draco had the lobster and Harry had the lamb. Michael left with their orders. The appetizer, the meal and the wine were all deliciously perfect as was the conversation over each. After the last bite was savored, Draco and Harry enjoyed a toast to the other and were speaking again of the evening when Ravius came to their table.

Please join us,” Harry motioned to the other chair. “What can I do for you, Ravius? Would you care for a glass of this fine selection of wine you chose?”

Thank you, but no,” Ravius said taking the seat. “Is there any word on the parchments?”

Yes,” Harry said. “I know of their location now. Is that price still firm?”

You know the exact location?” Ravius asked and Harry nodded slowly. Ravius sat in thought for a moment looking nervous. “I’m willing to go up to sixty thousand.”

You know that job requires at least ninety,” Harry said. “The risk is too high. You know they’ve got wards all over that place. It would take me at least a two weeks of planning.”

Eighty thousand,” Ravius said. “I can’t go higher than that, Harry. I have them both breathing down my neck over this.”

I’m aware of that, but the price is ninety,” Harry said coldly taking another sip of his fine wine and then slowly put down the glass making Ravius more nervous. “But, I’ll make you a deal.” Ravius’ ears perked up. “I’ll drop the price to fifty if you will also donate the Gaelis ‘Brothered Fount’ nude.”

My Gaelis?” Ravius whined. Harry shrugged.

Fine art appeals to my Draco,” Harry said. “He mentioned it in passing and I’m feeling generous this evening.” Ravius turned to gaze at the sculpture longingly in thought for several minutes while obviously trying to decide. Harry and Draco shared a small smirk over Ravius’ indecisions. With a long sigh he relented.

It’s a deal,” Ravius said. “I’ll have Michael prepare it for you now. The same deal as last time. Half now and half upon receipt of the parchments.” Harry nodded. “Can you give me an expected delivery date?”

One month from today,” Harry said. “Keep your boys out of my business and tell them to lay low for a while while I work on it. You have my account deposited with the funds in three days and I’ll keep you up to date on what I’m doing.”

Excellent,” Ravius grinned happily. “Draco, I hope you enjoy stealing my artwork from me.”

I do. Harry is most generous with me,” Draco said taking Harry’s hand on the table. “He spoils me, in fact. I quite enjoy it.”

Yes, well, Harry drives a hard bargain,” Ravius said sarcastically. “I find that even I can barely afford his services.”

You want the best, you pay for it,” Harry said. “And you know I am the best.”

Yes, you are the best,” Ravius said as he stood. Harry did also. Ravius shook Harry’s hand. “Three days you’ll have half. Michael will bring the nude to you. And Mister Malfoy, I should hope that you’ll return here again soon.”

I’ll look forward to it,” Draco said. Ravius gave each a nod and Harry sat again with Draco. “What in hell are you doing for this guy? Harry, are you some type of…thief?”

Thief is such a cruel word,” Harry said. “I prefer to call myself an undercover agent who finds things that others want located and brought to them.”

You are kidding me,” Draco couldn’t believe his ears. “You? Oh hell I can’t believe this.” Draco rubbed his temples.

Believe it,” Harry said. “I found out that I have a natural ability for sneaking about and doing things. Hell, I was doing it at eleven years old in finding the Sorcerer’s Stone, Draco. I’m good at what I do. And Albus knows nothing of it. I have helped Ravius locate and acquire several things in the last year. I make damn good money, which I don’t even need. I do it for kicks.” Harry laughed softly.

I can’t believe it,” Draco looked at Harry oddly. “How much more shit do I not know about you?”

Not too much,” Harry said. “And I’m only seventeen. Isn’t that great? I’m a complete criminal and nobody has a clue. With all my abilities, I can do anything and I choose to be a criminal. Very sad when you think about it.”

Whatever gets you off, I suppose,” Draco said. “And thank you for the sculpture.”

It’s my pleasure,” Harry said. “You liked it. I rarely find anything that I simply must have, so it’s nice that I can get that easily for you.”

You do spoil me, you know,” Draco said with a grin.

You were already spoiled,” Harry said. “I just happen to like lavishing you with things you enjoy. And I know I can trust you to keep my secrets.” Draco nodded honestly and Harry squeezed his hand. “I’m lucky to have you.”

You? I think I’m much more lucky than you are,” Draco said. “After all, how many can claim to own the most powerful being on earth?”

One,” Harry said shortly with meaning. Each leaned into a loving kiss. Draco put his hand on Harry’s neck to hold him within the heat of the moment. Michael came but stood away until the kiss broke. He came timidly to the table with a box holding the nude. Harry opened the box and Draco’s smile widened as he touched the beautiful sculpture with his fingertips.

It’s beautiful,” Draco said. “Oh, Harry, it’s perfect. Not a single flaw.”

Very good, Michael,” Harry said. “Thank you for your services.” Harry reached into his pocket and gave Michael a bill and a vial of powder with it that Draco noticed. Michael bowed low in gratitude.

Anything for you, Harry,” Michael said. “Do you require anything else? Anything at all?”

Draco, would you like to go dancing?” Harry asked. Draco nodded. “Michael, could you suggest a nice club for Draco and myself in London?”

Yes, sir. The Pink Flamingo club is only nine blocks west and features classical and coupled dancing. The Harborwest is about fourteen blocks on the beach and has a bar with more modern music. There is also the Cradleback which is an upscale club featuring live music and dancing and it’s only seven blocks south,” Michael gave the information.

Thank you. You’ve been most helpful,” Harry said. “I’ll be sure to thank you appropriately the next time I’m in town.” Michael grinned and left them.

I love this, Harry,” Draco said of the nude. “I just love it. Thank you so much. I can’t believe you did this.”

Draco, I don’t even know what that is,” Harry said of the sculpture. “But if you like it, that’s good enough for me. Are you ready to dance, my dragon?”

Yes,” Draco smiled largely. “Take me dancing, Harry.”

I will do just that,” Harry said putting a hand on the box and shrinking it to a tiny fraction of a thing. Draco put the tiny box in his inside robe pocket and snapped it for safety. “Are you ready?” Harry asked as he threw down money onto the table.

You just gave him a tip, Harry,” Draco said.

There is a reason I do that, Draco,” Harry said. “I’m a big spender when I decide I want something. Cash all around makes things go much easier for me. I don’t need it except to get what I want. And…I’m selfish. I do it all for me, me, me.”

And me, me, me,” Draco resounded. Harry laughed silently. The pair left the table and walked down the stairs and out of the restaurant to the waiting cab. “Which club?”

You choose,” Harry said as he opened the door of the cab for his date.

How about that last one. The Cradleback. I’ve heard of it,” Draco said as Harry closed the door.

The Cradleback club, please,” Harry said to the driver who turned the vehicle around and without a word drove toward their destination. “How was your dinner?”

Excellent,” Draco said. “That lobster was so good. Probably the best I’ve ever had.”

Good. If you hadn’t said that, I would have to go up ten thousand on the price for Ravius,” Harry teased and Draco laughed.

You are so bad,” Draco said. “I love it. I never thought you’d be so…like this.”

So you were wanting that poor pathetic ragamuffin who used to live in a closet?” Harry teased. Draco nudged Harry for the comment. “That four eyed geek who couldn’t get a date, was it?”

Shut the hell up,” Draco spat. “You sure have everyone fooled, Harry. It’s amazing to uncover each layer of you to find something more fascinating than the last. I didn’t know you were like this or I would have been all over you sooner.”

My mistake then,” Harry said with a grin. “So you’re turned on by the mystery of some dark and undercover operation with me leading it all?”

Absolutely,” Draco drawled. “I have so much to ask you later.” Harry just laughed softly as they rode together to the club. Harry paid the driver with a generous tip again.

If you’ll be here in two hours, I’ll make it worth your while again,” Harry told the driver who nodded before Harry closed the door, took Draco’s hand and led him to the club entrance.

Have you ever been here?” Draco asked looking at the two henchmen guarding the doorway checking identifications.

Never,” Harry said.

How will we get in? We have no Ids,” Draco asked.

Watch and learn,” Harry said to him as they approached.

ID, please,” The large black man held out his hand. Harry looked directly into his eyes.

I don’t think we need identification since you are expecting us here,” Harry said very clearly never leaving the eyes of the large black bouncer.

I don’t need your identification since we were expecting you,” the man opened the door. Harry and Draco walked inside and over to the bar area near the dance floor and had a nice view of the live entertainment stage with the band from the table they’d chosen. The place was jumping with dancing and the like.

How did you do that with the man outside?” Draco asked.

Simple little mind trick,” Harry said. “I do it all the time. I can even do that with Albus. He hates it.” Harry laughed. “I used that trick on him once to get out of a detention with Filch over the summer. Albus found out what I did, and I had to run from him in the school and hide for two days until he found me. He made me clean the Owlery floor with small brush and a bucket while he watched me and read muggle romance novels to me for two days. It was awful. I learned to never do that again.” Draco laughed with Harry over the incident.

You have so many secrets,” Draco said.

Hell, I have to,” Harry said. “I can’t tell anybody what I’m really like. They wouldn’t believe me anyway. If I had told you that I’m a low profile highly paid professional smuggler would you have believed me?”

No,” Draco admitted shaking his head. Harry shrugged. “Can I help you with it? Do you think I’m good enough?”

I think you could be,” Harry said. “But the actual job I’ll have to do. I can fragment past almost any security ward to get my hands on what I want. And I can apparate if I need to, but my magical presence is very strong and can be detected easily if there are any magical signature detectors present if I apparate. So I use my abilities to serve me in ways I want to use them.”

All this stuff makes Hogwarts look like petty stuff,” Draco said.

It is,” Harry said. “That’s why I don’t mess around with school much anymore. It got boring for me. I like the big time stuff. It’s a personal thrill thing. Thriving on challenge just to see what I can’t get my hands on or when I’ll get caught.” Harry laughed.

That’s not funny, Harry. What if you were caught?” Draco asked.

I’ve done twelve major jobs and about thirty others that weren’t much,” Harry said. “You may have read of them in the Daily Prophet. Remember the heist of Lady Caroline’s ruby crest?”

You did that?” Draco was impressed. Harry nodded with a grin. “They had no idea how anyone could have passed the wards and into that vault.”

And they never will have any idea,” Harry said. “I had to get that quick, deliver it, and be back at Hogwarts to make my appearance so as not to be suspected. Albus was baffled.” Harry laughed again. “He knows I’m capable of things like that, but he doesn’t know I do it. I’m a professional in what I do, Draco. I’ve learned much from the Aurors about how they police and investigate crimes. I use that information to my advantage.”

You are so damn good,” Draco said.

I’m not good at all,” Harry said. “I’m awful. Terrible person. You shouldn’t even be around me.”

I’m better than you,” Draco said with a grin. “I’m not a thief. So there.”

I’m not a thief,” Harry said raising an eyebrow to the accusation. “I locate items and I bring them to people who want them for a price.”

Stealing from others? What do you call that?” Draco asked.

Leverage,” Harry said. “Evening things out. Some have more, some have less. That’s the way it is. Get over it.”

I’m over it,” Draco said.

Do you want a drink?” Harry asked. “A martini or another glass of wine?”

Martini,” Draco said. Harry looked around for a waitress and squinted at her for a moment until she came over and asked to help them. A martini and a gin and tonic were ordered. “You just brought her over here, didn’t you?”

Yes. I bring others to me if I can,” Harry said. “Much easier. I’m lazy.”

Did you bring me?” Draco asked.

No, I’ve told you I didn’t,” Harry said. “You were just that part of that good luck thing I’ve had so far in my life. Do you think that will ever run out?”

Possibly,” Draco said. “But you’re good enough to make your own luck, I think.” The drinks were brought and shared. Each took off their capes and Harry shrunk them and put them in his pocket while they danced for over an hour. The blasting music was great until each was shaking just a bit.

Come on,” Harry led Draco to the bathroom where they took a stall. The belt was wrapped and each plunged into their vein with the needed drug. “Hell yeah. I needed that.”

Me, too,” Draco breathed for a moment at the relief the drug brought. Each rested for a few minutes until Draco pulled Harry close for a deep kiss of the purest affection that began to heat them both and fire them with passion for the other. “I must have you.” Draco said onto Harry’s lips between the kissing.

Then take me,” Harry gave equally into the hungry lip lock that sought to devour the other. The hot kiss ended leaving their minds desperate for more bodily contact that would have to wait.

So what now? We’ve had dinner and dancing,” Draco asked.

I need to stop by Hartleys to pick up something for Aberforth,” Harry said. “Then we’ll go get the load of stuff to take back with us.”

Hartleys? What is that?” Draco asked.

It’s a very obscure tiny little wizard shop that sells dark arts potions,” Harry said. “And Aberforth uses those potions to…well, bribe others for information. Aberforth and I work together. And…there are a few things you and I will need to discuss when we get back…um…home.”

Home, yes,” Draco said the word with disgust. “Are you ready to go now? I’d like a smoke.”

We’ll go outside then and have a smoke before we go to Hartleys,” Harry said.

I didn’t bring the smokes,” Draco said.

You have so little faith in me,” Harry said. “Watch and learn.” Harry led Draco from the bathroom and was walking slowly through the crowds. Harry moved his hand outward once and then brought his hand to himself as they exited the club and walked out to wait by the curb. Harry pulled up his hand to show a pack of cigarettes complete with lighter.

You’re good,” Draco said.

That was nothing,” Harry said giving Draco a cigarette and lighting it for him. Harry did the same and they held hands as they strolled up the walkway a bit.

You are so incredible I can’t get over it,” Draco said.

I hope you don’t mind that I told Ron, Herm, Seamus and Dean that we were going to London tonight,” Harry said. “I had to change in the dorm because my suits were there. Seamus is so jealous.”

Seamus Finnegan,” Draco said shaking his head. “I was so drunk that night. I don’t even remember it.” Harry laughed.

Well, he sure does,” Harry said. “He takes every opportunity to remind me how damn good you are in bed. I’m considering oblivating his memory so he’ll lay off.” Draco laughed.

Honestly, I don’t even remember it. All I remember was drinking firewhiskey with Seamus, Dodd, Lance, Danny and Kurt. The next thing I remember I woke up naked in bed with Seamus and Dodd. Hell, I couldn’t tell you if we had sex or not. And I seriously doubt either of them could either. I don’t think I even touched him.”

How interesting,” Harry said. “I could convince Seamus that he never touched you. He’d freak out. I might do that for fun.”

Do it if you can,” Draco said. “Because being with Seamus Finnegan is not high on my list of things I’m proud to admit.”

Damn Gryffindors,” Harry said. Draco laughed. Each finished their smokes and Harry held up his hand for the cab that had arrived. “Take us to Jackson and Lockley Corner, please.” The ride was a long one across London and in a surly looking neighborhood. When they’d arrived, Harry paid the cab fare with an overly generous tip and thanked the cabbie for his services of the evening. The cab drove away and Draco looked about the dilapidated surroundings.

Are you sure we’re in the right place?” Draco asked moving closely to Harry.

You doubt me?” Harry said linking their arms together and escorting Draco down the walkway and turning into a small alleyway filled with drunken derelicts and dumpsters. “Stay close and relax. Nothing can harm you when you’re with me.” Harry walked confidently setting Draco’s mind at ease a bit. When they’d reached a place in the wall Harry moved his finger over two bricks and they entered at the door that appeared there. The small space was a bit dark and only lit by candles along the walls protruding from the shelves.

Third shelf, four bottles of the blue,” Harry said to himself of Aberforth’s instructions. Harry located the liquids and went to the counter. He rang the bell and a lovely young pale lass with long black hair and large dark eyes emerged. She looked like a gypsy with her large hoop earrings, cradle cap of a kerchief and tapestry waistbands. “Hello, Layla. I need four bottles of the blue on the third shelf please.”

Certainly,” Layla said in her silky bedroom voice as she went to retrieve the items. “I haven’t seen you for a while. How is the old one who keeps you?”

He’s in good health, thank you,” Harry said digging out the money to pay for the purchases. “And how is your baby?”

He’s growing strong and will be a fine wizard holding much power one day,” Layla said. “Is there anything else I can do for you?”

No, that will be all for me. I have a vial if you’d like it,” Harry said handing Layla the final vial of cocaine. Layla took it slowly but deliberately with her soft calculating manner looking over Draco intently.

He is marked of the dark,” Layla said. “His intentions are worthy, but he holds many secrets twisted in his subconscious thoughts.”

This is the dragon,” Harry said of Draco. “He holds my heart and his intention is for my betterment. Wouldn’t you agree?”

Yes, I see it of his eyes,” Layla breathed with barely voice. “Your dragon holds much passion in his heart for you, Raven one, but there is more…pain from his past which haunts him. He needs that which you will provide him.”

Thank you, Layla,” Harry said taking the set of vials and paying for them. “As always, it was a pleasure to see you.”

You will return at the onset of the half moon,” Layla said. “And as always, you will bring me enlightenment when you arrive.”

I will do just that,” Harry said. “Good evening.” Layla nodded in her soft but mysterious way. Harry shrank the vials and put them in his pocket before he and Draco left the small place.

She was creepy, Harry,” Draco said. Harry laughed softly.

She is part Seer,” Harry said.

Raven one?” Draco asked.

That’s her pet name for me,” Harry said. “She just had a baby about four months ago. When I first met her, she asked me to father her child.”

She what?” Draco asked.

And she wasn’t the first to ask me that,” Harry said. “I’ve had…oh god, I can’t tell you how many offers to father children from women and families of pureblood girls.”

Oh god,” Draco said. “You are just one meat market.”

Albus laughs at me for it,” Harry said. “He starts teasing me with being some sperm donor and having litters of little Potters running around. Drives me insane. We fight over that a lot. It pisses me off bad and he knows it.”

That is so funny,” Draco said with a grin as they left the alleyway. “Where now?”

I’ll take us down the street to another alley so that we can apparate to pick up our load and then we’ll go back to the starting point and then to Aberforth’s,” Harry said. “And I need candy. I need a lollipop.”

You eat those all the time,” Draco said.

I know,” Harry said. “It became a habit for me because Albus is always eating candy. Always and he had these lollipops one time and I just loved them. So now I find them and keep my own stash. He’s a bad influence on me.”

I can see that,” Draco said as they stopped in the alleyway. Draco slid his hands around Harry’s waist and kissed him. Harry moved his hand up to cup Draco’s nape gently. “Let’s hurry and get back to the den. I can’t wait to get you naked.”

Fine with me,” Harry said pulling Draco closer and apparating them to the other alleyway to score the drugs. Harry led to the door again and gave his signature knock. The eye slide opened and then the door. Harry entered with Draco. Harry went inside and took the chair on the opposite side from the scraggly man. “I need a load, Pete. I need amperlius, vitrial, coke and Hiddle. All in quantity.” Pete looked at Draco quickly. “This is the dragon. He’s my lover and in with me. You can trust him.” Pete gave the shortest of nods to Draco who returned it before Pete pulled out a box and started tossing loads of baggies of drugs on the table. Harry looked over each one carefully counting the numbers in the bags. Pete and Harry negotiated the price and Harry came out the victor on the deal.

Bring some of that lotuscel you got,” Pete said. “I’ve had people asking for it. I’ll give you ten a vial.”

No way. I need at least fifteen a vial,” Harry said shaking his head. “I can sell it for thirty at my place.” Pete nodded slowly.

Thirteen final,” Pete said. Harry considered a moment.

How many?” Harry asked.

Fifty,” Pete said. Harry shook his head again.

At thirteen a vial you get a hundred and I’ll do it,” Harry said firmly. Pete thought for a moment and dug in his pocket to pull out a huge wad of cash. Pete threw down the money for Harry.

Hundred then,” Pete said. “When?”

I can bring it Saturday night,” Harry said. Pete nodded slowly and Harry handed back his own wad of cash for the drugs he’d bought. Pete stuffed it unceremoniously without counting it into his pocket with the other cash as he took a draw from his cigarette. Harry picked up all the baggies put a small binding charm on them and shrunk them to a tiny sack before putting it in his pocket. “Good to see you, man.” Harry shook Pete’s hand and Pete stood to look at Draco quizzically for a moment.

He’s a Malfoy,” Pete grinned with his missing teeth. “You brought a fucking Death Eater up in here? Are you fucked up?”

My dragon is with me, Petey,” Harry said firmly to the man. “I said he is trustworthy and I meant it.” Pete backed off a bit.

Good fuck, huh?” Pete said. Harry gave him a glare.

Best damn fuck I’ve ever had,” Harry said. “And don’t paw over what’s mine.” Pete laughed and waved a hand slowly before walking away back into another room. Harry shook his head and took Draco’s hand to lead him out into the alleyway again where some hooker was giving a blowjob to a man in a suit. The man stiffened when he saw Draco and Harry come out of the door.

Relax, love. Just business over there,” the hooker told the man with her strong accent. Harry and Draco ignored them and walked to the back alley where Draco rolled his eyes and Harry took his hands. Harry apparated them to the deserted house and then again to Aberforth’s sitting room where he was asleep in his chair with a cat on his lap.

Old man!” Harry yelled and Aberforth jumped.

Damn, you almost gave me a heart attack,” Aberforth said. “You get it?” Harry pulled out the small vials and resized them for Aberforth who took the vials and looked over them pleased. “Layla start talking her bullshit to you?”

As always,” Harry said. “She only had two more of those left.”

You’re good, Harry,” Aberforth winked at him. “And got balls going down there at night. I wouldn’t be caught dead over in that part of London especially not on a full moon.”

And you dragged me down there?” Draco asked.

You were safe. I’ll never let anything hurt you, Draco,” Harry said. “My carriage ready?”

Of course,” Aberforth said. “Waiting on you out back. I’ll owl you soon.” Harry nodded and led Draco from the house where the carriage was waiting for them.

Hogwarts at Harry’s entrance,” Harry told the thestral which began to pull them in that direction. “Did you have a nice time tonight?”

Un-fucking-believable,” Draco said shaking his head. “You are just…damn. I don’t even know what the fuck you are.” Harry laughed softly. “You are nothing as you appear. Nothing at all. How did you get this way?”

Sorry,” Harry said.

No, I didn’t…” Draco took Harry’s hand. “That wasn’t an insult. It was almost a compliment. You were always so…so Gryffindor. But now you’re…not. What changed with you? I am just interested in you, Harry. You have so many secret things and…it’s just mind blowing to me that you aren’t at all what people see with you.”

I lead a double life,” Harry said. “I am just as Gryffindor as everything when I need to be. And I will be on the pitch with you. Ever loyal, brave and dedicated to my house. But at night, I am someone else. I can hide in shadows and never be detected for my name.”

You hide,” Draco said. Harry nodded.

Yes, I do,” Harry said. “I have to get away from being Harry Potter sometimes. And…this will sound very strange to you, but…I have a part of me that is Voldemort because he left his residual magic and a part of himself in me when he hit me with the AK as a baby. And I blame that part of me for doing these dark things that I do. In living my life, I’ve always been in the light and on the side of light. But even within that light, I have this…it’s a darkness around me always. The dark is always near me in some way and wanting to embrace me to it. It’s not temptation for me to become a dark wizard, because that doesn’t appeal to me at all, but every single day that I live, I am confronted with darkness in some way. It’s very interesting.”

I can’t handle you,” Draco said. “You are too much for me. There is so much going on with you, Harry, that I get confused on who you are from one minute to the next.” Harry took Draco’s hand and interlaced their fingers on his knee.

I am just me,” Harry said as he reached into his pocked and put on his glasses again. “There. Now look at me and tell me who I am.” Harry gave that innocent crooked grin.

Harry fucking Potter,” Draco said. “When you look at me that way, you are Potter to me.” Harry took off his glasses and gave another look of maturity with a hint of maliciousness. “Now you are Harry. The dark one who is evil incarnate.” Harry laughed and put his glasses back on.

That spell is a good one. The one for my eyes,” Harry said. “I need to learn that one. I wonder why I didn’t find it before? I’m stupid.”

Yes, you are, Potter,” Draco grinned and laid back his head as they rode in the moonlit carriage again. The clip clop of the thestral hooves on the cobblestones was soft and romantic as they each leaned close and looked at the stars holding a hand. “This was a wonderful night, Harry. You are an excellent date. The best I’ve ever had.”

Thank you,” Harry said. “I hoped you’d enjoy it. I was hoping to show you a bit about myself tonight that no one else knows. And I was also hoping that you wouldn’t run away from me screaming because of what I am and what I do.”

Never,” Draco said. “Absolutely never. And all this time I thought I was the bad one.” They each laughed at their evening turn of events.

So I’m bad?” Harry asked.

You’re intriguing,” Draco said.

If Danny comes through tonight with keeping the heat off you with the Slytherins, I’ve asked Hemmlett to let him sling dope in Slytherin house to keep you out of it,” Harry said. “I hope that’s okay with you.”

Good,” Draco nodded. “I don’t need that pressure. But if we do the detox, are you sure we can be around the dope and not use it?”

I can,” Harry said. “I did that for six months before I went bezerk and started using again.”

Why did you start again after six months?” Draco asked.

Loneliness,” Harry said. “I guess that was it. I was just a mess and…well, alone all the time. I had no one. Nobody at all when I wasn’t using. The people I used with didn’t come around and I went to class all the time and didn’t even have to go. I was depressed and just bored. I would fly at night on my broom for hours and sleep during the day. I hardly ate or talked to anyone. I went three weeks without speaking a single word to see if anyone noticed.”

Did they?” Draco asked sleepily with his head on Harry’s shoulder.

No,” Harry said softly. “No one noticed.” Harry gave a sad laugh.

I did,” Draco said as they shared a glance. “I remember not seeing you for days at a time in the Dining Hall. I wondered about you, but…I never asked. Sorry about that.”

If you had asked I may have had a heart attack,” Harry said. “Ron and Hermione didn’t even notice and you did? That would have been awkward. But thank you for noticing. That means a lot to me.”

I have to notice you,” Draco said. “You stand out in the crowd, Harry. It’s the way you are.”

Do I?” Harry asked seemingly not interested. “How can that be? I’m not the tallest, brightest, best dressed, most suave, most attractive, most studious or any of that. I’m plain and ordinary. When I sit in the Dining Hall I blend in. Don’t I?”

No,” Draco shook his head. “You don’t. You never have. Not to me anyway.”

Maybe it’s just you,” Harry said.

I don’t think so,” Draco said. “Everyone knows you.”

Everyone knows you, too,” Harry said. “And you stand out in a crowd easily. Anywhere you are I spot you first. In Diagon Alley when getting school supplies before the school term began, I would spot you in an instant every single year. Sometimes you were with Lucius and sometimes not. I never noticed him, but always you,” Harry said and then paused for a moment of thought. “Always you,” Harry whispered into the night. The carriage ride was very nice and relaxing. It was nearing midnight when they reached the side entrance. “Go back to Aberforth.” Harry told the thestral pulling the carriage and it trotted slowly away. Harry peeked in the hallways and led Draco to the den without incident. They entered and sat on the crates.

Fix us up something,” Draco said.

What do you want?” Harry asked. “Anything you want I have it and I need to make up some lotuscel, too. Dammit.” Harry lit the blue flamed candle and dug into the pouch of baggies. One was taken and dumped into the spoon to heat.

I can help,” Draco said.

Good,” Harry sighed. “I need ten cauldrons.”

Ten?” Draco asked.

Either that or make ten vials of lotuscel at a time and it will take ten hours,” Harry said.

Oh fuck,” Draco said. “I can get them from the lab stores. Do we need them now?” Harry nodded.

We’ll hit this first and take a break before we go,” Harry said.

Is there sex in our near future?” Draco asked. “I’m dying here.”

Believe me, I know,” Harry said. “I don’t have to make the lotuscel tonight. I could give Hemmlett the other shit and make the lotuscel another time.”

Oh god,” Draco leaned his head back. “No, let’s make it tonight. Dammit.” Harry laughed a bit.

Sorry,” Harry said.

Business is business,” Draco said. “Why do you do this if you’re going to detox anyway?”

I don’t know,” Harry said. “Habit I suppose. I don’t have to do this at all. But I use the drugs to keep others wanting to see me. Like Michael at the Mandarin and Layla at Hartleys.”

I see,” Draco said with a nod. “I guess that works. And after the detox from the Hiddle, you can still use the lotuscel since it’s not habit forming and has no withdrawal time.”

If I detox, I’m out with all of it,” Harry said as Draco drew up the syringes for each of them. The band was used to tighten around their arm so that the veins bulged properly. Each found a vein and plunged in with the drug. Harry dropped the needle on the crate carelessly and rubbed his eyes.

Are you tired?” Draco asked.

A bit, but I’m okay,” Harry said. “Do you know that I made fifty one thousand today and bought art?” Harry laughed hard and Draco joined in. “What the hell is up with me, Draco? Why do I do the things I do? I’m insane.”

Yes, I think you are,” Draco said stretching out his legs. “We need to change clothes.”

We need to get naked,” Harry said. “Hiddle always makes me want to have sex.”

Me, too,” Draco said lazily rubbing his crotch. “Let’s have sex. Something quick and then we can get back to work on this drug trafficking thing.” Harry grinned.

If I have sex now, I’ll want to sleep afterward,” Harry said. “And I know you will, too.”

I hate you, Potter,” Draco said with his drug induced slur.

I hate you, too, Malfoy,” Harry said. “I have some clothes here if you want to change.” Harry stood with a small wobble and looked into another crate in the corner. “I have some comfortable sweats for each of us in black and one set in dark blue.”

Black,” Draco said for himself and Harry tossed each set of the sweats on the mattress for them. “Why don’t you just conjure and make a bed instead of one mattress?”

I don’t know,” Harry said. “You want a bed?” Draco nodded. Harry shrugged and turned to the mattress. Harry thought for a few moments and then moved his hands about in some type of perfectly beautiful motion. The mattress lifted and around and under it the magic from Harry’s hands swirled to create an elaborate four-poster bed with green velvet drapery and deeply ornate carved wooden posts.

Very, very nice,” Draco smiled. “You’re the best, baby.” Harry walked over to lie on the bed.

Why didn’t I do this sooner?” Harry asked. “This is great. Come over here.” Draco came to crawl up onto the bed with the crisp white sheets and feather down pillows.

Oh my god yes,” Draco said of the ultimate softness of the bed and it’s coverings. “This is the best bed I’ve ever touched in my life.”

I’m glad you suggested it,” Harry said. “I don’t think like you do. I had the mattress, which was good enough for me at the time. I never thought to add a bed to it. Isn’t that stupid of me?”

Not really,” Draco said. “You spend many nights here, but…you had no need of it.”

But now that we’re here all the time, this is much better,” Harry moved over to pull Draco closer on the bed and take a deep kiss during which Draco’s hand slipped down Harry’s chest to cup his warm crotch and the erection there. “Oh god…don’t do that.”

What this?” Draco asked as he pushed his hand over the hardness and moved his hand to stroke it through Harry’s suit pants.

Draco, please,” Harry breathed. “Your going to have me hurting if you don’t stop.”

I don’t want to stop,” Draco said with his eyes closed and reeling in the feeling of his high and sexually aroused state. “I want you, Harry. Please make love to me. Please…I’ve not had you in days and…I need you.”

And I need you,” Harry said unbuttoning Draco’s jacket and shirt quickly to feel his chest.

Oh yes,” Draco said of Harry’s hands and lips on his chest. “Don’t stop…please don’t stop...” After a while longer each was shed of their suits, which were tossed carelessly in the floor as they kissed and touched one another enjoying skin on skin. “Harry, what do you want? You want to top?” Harry stilled for a moment.

If that’s what you want,” Harry said. “I’m open to either option.”

Do you want me to let you bottom?” Draco asked. “If you do, I’d like that. I’ll be very gentle with you and I promise you’ll love it.” Harry nodded.

Yes,” Harry said with a grin. “I’d like that.”

I’ve noticed that you prefer gentleness with me, but you tend to be rougher with everyone else,” Draco said slyly. “I love it. I’ve never had such a gentle lover as you are and it’s better than a quick fuck to me.”

I’ll give you what you want,” Harry said. “But I like going slowly and making something good last as long as it will. That’s the purpose of making love, I think. Enjoyment for as long as possible.”

That’s so nice,” Draco whispered. “I’ve been with a few others who’d never had bottomed before, and if you want I’ll tell you just how everything will be before I do it. I would like to do that with you. Can I do that?”

I’d love it,” Harry said. “Treat me like a virgin, then. Technically, am I a virgin?”

I have no idea,” Draco said. “You’ve had more sex than me and you’re asking me if you are a virgin?” They each laughed at the oddity. “But I want this first time to be so special for you. Can you teach me that spell? That sex spell? Is it hard to learn?”

No, it’s very easy,” Harry said. “And you’re the only one who can do it because you’re wandless.” Harry explained the spell and how to think the incantation and push it through the fingers or thumb.

Can I practice on you once?” Draco asked. “I think I can do it, so I won’t hurt you.”

Sure, go ahead. I hope I don’t ruin this night after you do it,” Harry laughed a bit and Draco re-explained to Harry how to do the spell and Harry agreed that Draco had it correct. Draco kissed quickly over Harry’s stomach and took Harry’s erection in his mouth for a few deep-throated thrusts. “Oh god that’s so good…you do that so damn well.”

Are you ready?” Draco asked with a grin. Harry shrugged.

Go ahead,” Harry said. Draco gave another thrust with his mouth and concentrated before he sent the spell from his thumb up through Harry’s scrotum and cock. Harry gasped and his head hit the pillow as his hips thrust upward a bit at the hard spell. “Oh shit! That was a strong spell, Draco. Damn you almost killed me! Cut that in half next time you send it. Oh hell…” Harry breathed heavy.

Sorry,” Draco laughed and rolled over on the mattress in a fit of laughs.

That’s not funny,” Harry laughed. “Damn. Are you trying to make me impotent?” Draco laughed even harder and had tears in his eyes when he finished with his laughing fit.

I’m so sorry, Harry. I didn’t mean to hurt you,” Draco said with a grin. “I’ll cut it in half next time. I swear it.”

Oh god,” Harry held his crotch for a moment. “I’m afraid of you.” Draco burst out into laughter again and each of them rolled on the bed in their playfulness.

Harry…Harry, please…” Draco laughed. “Stop it. I need to calm down.” Each lay together for a while still snickering at the mistake. “I won’t do it again if you don’t want me to.”

My error. I should have told you to cut the spell strength,” Harry said. “I guess I learned that lesson well. Always tell Draco to cut his spell strength when teaching him a new spell. Got it.” Draco rolled Harry over onto him and the tender kisses and bouts of lovemaking began. Hands roamed to touch every inch of skin as lips, tongues and fingers worked magic between them. Harry pulled Draco over on top of him as they kissed and loved on the other. Harry let go and Draco took over as the controller. After much skin play, lubrication was added to Draco’s hand and gentle touching began.

Relax and enjoy this,” Draco said calmly as his finger was gently inserted and began to move within Harry’s body.

I am,” Harry said with his eyes closed. “You know you are the only person to have ever have done that besides me.”

You have never allowed anyone to finger fuck you?” Draco asked in disbelief.

No,” Harry said as he looked down to Draco who has shaking his head slowly. “Is that so hard to believe?”

Harry, you’re bisexual,” Draco said. “Yes, it’s hard to believe.”

I told you I wanted it to be special,” Harry said with a tiny grin.

And it will be,” Draco said. Harry laid back and enjoyed Draco’s gentle fingers and hands on him. Harry bit his lip a bit as his body was stretched and pleasured.

Oh god yes,” Harry breathed at these new feelings. “That feels great. If you stop I’m killing you I swear it.”

Good thing I have no intention of stopping,” Draco said. When the fourth finger was added Draco stilled a moment to allow Harry’s body to relax around the intrusion.

My dick is throbbing, Draco,” Harry said. “That feels so great. You’d better hurry before I come.”

Can I send you the spell again?” Draco asked. Harry winced.

I’m almost afraid for you to,” Harry said. “But go ahead. Half strength please.” Draco giggled a bit and concentrated on the spell at half strength before he gave it through his fingers as he pushed deep inside Harry’s body. Harry gasped and whimpered at the feelings.

That’s so good,” Draco said as he took the throbbing cock into his mouth and worked the magic with his fingers. Harry thrashed about breathing heavier.

Draco, I mean it,” Harry said. “I’m going to come if you don’t stop. Make this last for me.” Draco slowed a bit.

Which position would you prefer?” Draco asked.

You choose,” Harry said. “You’re in charge. I’m your sub tonight.” Draco moved up but never removed his fingers from Harry’s body. Harry applied more lubricant to Draco’s hard erection and lay down again as Draco withdrew his fingers and positioned himself.

Are you ready?” Draco asked. Harry nodded a bit. “I’ll go slow and the first few inches hurts a bit but just try to relax.” Draco held his cock and pushed inside and Harry winced only for the initial pained pleasure. Draco stilled to allow Harry’s body to get used to the stretch. “Ready?” Harry nodded and Draco slid in further making Harry arch slightly to adjust.

Oh hell yeah…” Harry breathed in the new sensations as his mind spun with want of more. “Do it…just do it.” Draco pulled back a bit and thrust gently several times as Harry moaned with heavy breaths.

You are so tight you’re squeezing me,” Draco said. “Oh god it’s great…fucking incredible.” Draco began to thrust a little deeper with each forward movement and after several minutes he was able to push his entire length into the body below.

Oh yes…oh hell yes…Draco, oh my god…” Harry wrapped his arms around Draco who was slowly and methodically giving long even strokes, which was driving Harry wild with want of more. Draco began to kiss and nibble on Harry’s neck and over his chest tenderly making this first time all it could be. Slow, deep kisses were shared as the lovemaking went on and on. When Draco’s breaths were coming heavier, each knew it was time.

Harry…oh god yes…I can’t hold back much longer,” Draco confessed as he held on to Harry tightly. Each was almost overcome with the passion and need of relief.

Then don’t hold back,” Harry said. “Let’s do this. Come on. Give everything to me.” Draco needed no more encouragement as he rose up and upped the pace. With a quick swipe of lube to his hand, Draco began to stroke Harry’s aching cock in time with his thrusts maximizing the pleasure.

Fuck!” Harry squeezed his eyes shut and enjoyed the pooling in his groin signaling the forthcoming orgasm. “Draco…oh god…I’m going to come…do it…oh god do it…”

Hold on, baby,” Draco said as he began to pump harder into Harry’s tight body. “I will give you what you want. Come for me…just let go and come for me…” Harry let go to experience all these new sensations of being taken by the dragon. “Oh yeah…oh hell yeah…I’m going to come, Harry…come with me…”

Hell yeah…I’m ready…oh yeah…here it comes…” Harry breathed. Draco continued to stroke Harry’s cock and fuck him as hard as possible until Harry gave a muffled screaming growl. Draco slipped his thumb under Harry’s scrotum and sent the spell as Harry shot a hot spurt of come up onto his stomach and chest with a scream of pleasure. To Draco’s surprise, Harry also slipped his hands up under Draco and as Draco slammed hard for the last thrust to come, Harry also sent him the spell. Draco yelled as he came and felt the hard wave of magic shoot from his body. Each trembled violently for several seconds at the intensity of their orgasms. As each slowly stilled and breathed heavy trying to relax they looked to the other and grinned a bit.

Holy shit,” Draco said slowly.

Oh my fucking life,” Harry said as he flopped on the bed in exhaustion. “I have never felt so good, Draco. So completely filled and satisfied. Marvelous. Simply fucking great. You are a god.” Draco withdrew slowly to allow Harry to feel his cock sliding from his body. “I hate for you to take that back.” Harry laughed silently.

I still have it. You can have it whenever you want,” Draco said as he removed the condom and threw it up to vanish it. Harry pulled Draco down onto him and they shared a meaningful kiss holding the other as tightly as possible.

You have given me something that I will never forget,” Harry said softly onto Draco’s cheek as they shared this intimate moment. “Draco, I want you to know…”

I love you, Harry,” Draco said onto Harry’s lips before he kissed them. Harry was smiling as was Draco as they tried to kiss before they laughed. “Kill me. Go ahead. I was trying to save your life.”

Is that what that was? Martyrdom? An attempt to save me from myself?” Harry asked. Draco nodded and dived in for more kissing. Draco drew back for a moment to rub his lips onto Harry’s equally soft ones. “And I love you, Draco. I’m totally in love with you and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve never had this before and I’d do anything to keep it.”

I’ve never had this either,” Draco admitted. “And it just had to be you, didn’t it? Why and how did I know this would happen one day in my life? Of all the people on this fucking earth, it had to be you.” Harry grinned and was so overjoyed as was Draco.

It did, didn’t it? I had to be me and it had to be you,” Harry marveled. “There was no way around this thing. We were just doomed to be together in some fucked up way.”

A travesty of justice,” Draco smiled. “But I’m glad it’s you. I can’t imagine it ever being anyone else anyway. How stupid is that? Did we know this years ago?”

It seems like we did, doesn’t it?” Harry asked seriously. Each eyed the other with some sort of fascination. “We’re stupid.”

We are,” Draco said as they curled up together under the covers. “We could have done this years ago, Harry. Why didn’t we?”

Who knows? Probably because I was off saving the world and you were in Death Eater training learning how to kill me,” Harry said with that happy grin. “We sort of missed each other there for a while on our different paths.”

Harry, I’m tired,” Draco said. “I don’t want to go to the dungeons for ten cauldrons at…” Draco glanced at his watch. “Two in the morning.”

We’ll sleep then,” Harry said. “I’m exhausted, too. And you were so good, Draco. Oh god you’re so good. That was so wonderful I can’t get over it. I hope you know I’ll be wanting you to fuck me all the time now.”

Fine with me,” Draco said closing his eyes and giving in to sleep. “I can’t get enough of you. You’re perfect, Harry.” Draco nuzzled into Harry’s neck as Harry held him closely.

And you’re perfect, my dragon,” Harry said. “I love you.”

And I love you,” Draco whispered. “Goodnight.” Harry hummed his response and each drifted off into their sated dreamless sleep as they held one another throughout the night.
