Chapter 44

Albus woke to hear his little bird singing in the shower. Albus chuckled as he rose to dress. Harry eventually emerged in a towel to see Albus dressing.

"I enjoyed that concert," Albus said. Harry laughed as he came to stand beside Albus at the armoire where he dressed every morning.

"Can I wear leather today?" Harry asked. "Please? I won't be on school grounds and I'm feeling...sort of evil with going to Malfoy Manor. And I haven't gotten to wear my outfit but once and it will soon be too hot to wear it."

"I really don't like that outfit, Harry," Albus pleaded.

"But I bought it and I'm growing so fast that I may never get to wear it," Harry said. "Please?" Harry put his arms around Albus from the back. "Please?" Harry said to Albus' ear.

"Just this once," Albus said.

"Yes!" Harry pulled down a fist in triumph and took the outfit from the armoire and began to dress. Soon both were dressed. Harry went to see the outfit he loved in the bathroom mirror. "I don't suppose you'd consider letting me just be me today."

"Of course you can be you," Albus said. "I love you the way you are." Harry grinned evilly and shook his head a bit to add all three platinum earrings to himself. Harry took off his glasses and squinted his eyes to perfect his vision. He laughed silently at the reaction he was fixing to get and walked out of the bathroom to pick up his black leather jacket and slip it on. Black all over. Harry turned to Albus whose eyes grew wide.

"No," Albus said. "Boys do not wear earrings."

"Yes, they do. See?" Harry flicked the earrings on his ear. "I like it. They stay. You said I could just be me today and that you love me the way I am. You didn't lie did you?"

"That's not what I meant and you know it," Albus gave Harry the stern look over his half-moon glasses.

"I'm immune to that look," Harry crossed his arms in his defensive stance and gave an evil look of his own. Albus relented.

"You look silly," Albus said. "Earrings on boys." Albus said it as an insult.

The two walked down the hallway. Harry got several looks from other students which he grinned at, but they never saw. Harry entered and turned to go to his three who were already seated. Draco looked up and almost fell off the bench. Harry winked seductively in his way that made Draco almost choke. Harry slid in his seat and gave Draco his morning kiss. Draco's jaw was still dropped.

"Holy shit," Draco said. "Oh my god...."

"That's me," Harry laughed. Draco picked up the joke and laughed along.

"You look like...whoa," Draco said. "That's your outfit you came back to Hogwarts in? You actually wore that back here?"

"I was insane," Harry said taking a bite of his eggs. "I love eggs."

"We know," Ron said. "You remind us everyday." Hermione had watched Harry since he'd entered the Hall.

"So we are going to Malfoy Manor...um...I mean Weasley Manor today, Harry is dressed to kill with his earrings and all, AND he's having eggs," Hermione accused. Harry gave her the evil grin.

"I'm Harry Potter today," Harry said. "So watch out. I have an evil fix all over me. And I have a purpose today."

"And that purpose would be just what?" Draco asked. "You know my dad is in France so you can't kill him today. Sorry to disappoint."

"I'm not looking for your dad," Harry said. Hermione caught the clue.

"So what is it you are looking for?" Hermione gave the head tilt in expectation of an answer.
