Book 1- My Slytherin Prince

Chapter 6

"Harry, open the door," Draco said, trying again to unlock and open the bathroom door.

Harry had locked himself in the bathroom after the truth potion wore off, and had stayed there, crying, for hours. Narcissa had tried to talk him into coming out, and so had Lucius. Draco, unlike his parents, wouldn't give up that easily.

"Harry," Draco said, "Please open up. Mum and Dad aren't mad at you, I promise."

Harry didn't answer. He was curled up on the bathroom floor, crying still. He didn't want to talk about Ron, or Ginny. He didn't want to read an article in The Daily Prophet about the trial. He didn't want to out Draco to his parents. He didn't want people to ask questions about anything, or pity him, And he definitely did not want anyone outside of Draco, Blaise, Pantsy, Fred, and George to know he was Bi.

Draco stood on the opposite side of the door, knocking and trying to talk to Harry. It was late now, past the time the two boys were usually asleep. Instead of getting dressed in his pajamas and going to his bed, Draco sat outside the bathroom door, waiting, until he eventually fell asleep.

Harry internally cursed at himself, he had broken at least six rules in the last twenty four hours Lucius had given him. He was sure he would be in for it tomorrow.

Harry didn't know what time he finally fell asleep, but when he woke up, he was in his bed. He heard faint voices as he came to. One of them was Draco's, another was Lucius, and he heard Bellatrix laugh. The fourth voice got his attention quickly. He hadn't heard it since his third year.

Sirius...

Harry opened his eyes, finding himself in his bed. His glasses were still on, surprisingly. He got up, stumbling on the first step he took. Harry steadied himself, and walked to the bedroom door slowly. He grabbed his wand, which had been placed on a dresser by the door.

Harry made his way downstairs, almost falling every time he took a step. He expected to break up a fight. Oh boy... He was not expecting to see Sirius, Bellatrix, Lucius, Narcissa, Severus, and Molly all laughing and smiling. He looked over where Draco was standing, to see the twins, Hermione, Pantsy, and Blaise getting along.

Hermione.... Wait, no. She abandoned me.

"Harry!" Fred and George both said, having seen him at the same time. All chatter in the room stopped, as everyone looked in his direction. Draco was the first one to Harry, taking him by his waist, and pulling him in for a kiss.

"Dray...." Harry whined, forgetting about everyone else, "Careful, I can hardly walk without almost falling over..." Draco kept a steady hold on Harry's waist and smirked.

"I'm not gonna let you fall, but you should be in bed."

"Harry Potter...." Bellatrix said, walking closer to the two boys. She was followed by everyone else in the room as they all circled around the two boys.

Harry's head bolted up, and he drew his wand, pointing it at Bellatrix. His face grew dark instantly, and his swiftness surprised Draco, who looked back at the crowd.

"Don't take a step closer," He warned, glaring at her. "Or I swear I will blast you through the wall and into Azkaban." Harry didn't know why, but his first instinct was to protect Draco. Harry wasn't usually the protective one, Draco was.

"Woah..." Draco said. "Harry, calm down. She means no harm." Harry was anything but calm. His heart was beating like crazy, and he felt his blood being pumped into every part of his body. He kept his wand pointed at her, not saying a word.

"Harry."

Harry looked at Lucius briefly then back at Bellatrix.

"Stand down." Lucius's tone was stern. Harry didn't want to give in. He didn't trust her. "Harry. Now." Harry still didn't budge. "Five."
