chapter nine

Harry opened the door and found Draco with a big bag at the door. "what happened?" Harry asked. "I heard Regulus Black lives in here." he replied. "come in." Harry stepped aside and Draco walked up the stairs not bothering to look back. "who was that?" James looked at Harry. "Draco." Harry said. "your boyfriend?" James asked. Regulus walked in. "I have custody over him for the coming few months, and he's not happy, he doesn't have access to his money." Regulus said. "he must feel terrible." Harry said. Regulus nodded. "how do you even know?" James asked. "he called me on his way here." Regulus said. "I'm gonna go talk to him." Harry walked upstairs and opened the door leading towards his bedroom and saw Draco looking around. "good choice." Harry said. "is there a spare bedroom?" Draco asked. "I'm afraid not." Harry replied. "oh okay, I'll take the couch than." Draco stood up. "hey are you okay?" Harry asked. "no, honestly no." Draco said. "want to talk about it?" Harry asked. "everything is just going downhill." Draco said. Harry nodded. "I'm here to talk." Harry said. "I know you are." Draco smiled at him. "and I'll take the couch." Harry said. "no it's your house." Draco said. "yeah, but you're my boyfriend and I feel like I should do this for you." Harry said. Draco smiled and picked up Harry's hand. "but I'm the guest and it's my fault that I don't want to sleep in the same bed." Draco said. "never say that ever again, it's not your fault!" Harry said. Draco looked him in the eye. "understood?" Harry asked. "I did captain." Draco said. "oh nice nickname." Harry said. Draco smiled. "you take the bed and you're now not allowed to open your mouth." Harry said. Draco smiled at him. "I'm tired can you tell Reg I'm going to bed?" Draco asked. Harry nodded. "good night." Draco said. "the bathroom is over there." Harry said. "I know, I've been here before." Draco said. "I'm just worried." Harry said. "so where you hide your sextoys?" Draco asked. "what?" Harry asked. "I know you have them, I just don't want to run into them." Draco said. "yeah, I put them under my bed in a box." Harry said. "okay, thanks." Draco smirked. "it's embarrassing if you open it." Harry said. "I know and I will." Draco snorted. "good night." Harry said.

"aren't you leaving for school?" James asked. "nope, school is cancelled due to having 70 from the eighty teachers absent, so we have an extra day off." Harry said. "really?" Draco asked. "yup." Harry replied. "fuck yes, no math!" he said and sat on the breakfast table and held Harry's hand. "not for you, your tutoring is still going." Harry said. "you're a fucking asshole." Draco said. Regulus chuckled and sat opposite from Draco. "I was joking, I'm going somewhere anyways." Harry said. "where are you going?" Draco asked. "work, I think they're gonna give me a new mission for 'damage control'." Harry replied. "what did you break?" Regulus asked. "I don't know, but yet that's what Greengrass two said to me." Harry replied. "can I go out to Pansy?" Draco asked. "of course." Regulus said. Harry stood up and picked up his robes. "see you tonight." He said. "bye." Draco replied.

Harry sat at the round table and a file was dropped before him. he opened it and looked up. "sex ed?" he asked. "well spotted Potter, you'll have a new case." He said. "about sex ed?" Harry asked. "it's not really a case, a guy named Ron Weasley is on custody and you need to keep an eye on him and his bio teacher is absent for quite some time." Harry nodded. "well, fine." Harry stood up. "Potter." Neville said. Harry turned around. "that minor you're fucking." Kingsley started. "what about him?" Harry asked. "he's underaged." He replied. "I know, we've talked about it, and what are your concerns about him?" Harry asked. "we don't want to loose our best auror because he's in jail." Harry nodded. "I'll watch out for it." he replied.

Harry looked at the tired students, it was Monday morning and they were going on a trip, it was six and nobody wanted to be there. "okay before we go, I just gotta check your hair on lice." Harry said. he heard a few groans. "it's not that you guys get the hardest job in this, now take a seat and wait, once I'm done you can take a seat in the bus." Harry said and started off with Pansy and went down the line and ended with Draco. "you okay?" Harry asked. he smiled. "yeah." He replied. "It actually shocked me I got you out of bed." Harry said. "yeah well, your bed is just super comfortable." Draco replied. Harry chuckled. He put his hands in Draco's hair. "you know, maybe after the trip, I'd be less scared." Draco said. "you don't have to rush it." Harry said and massaged Draco's scalp. "I know, but you're so sad on the couch." Draco said. Harry chuckled. "are you just massaging me?" Draco asked. "do you mind?" Harry asked. "are you bad at something?" Draco asked. Harry smiled. "I don't know, cooking." He replied. "that fruit salad you made was perfect." Draco said. "yeah it was just cutting fruit." Harry chuckled. "do you know where we're going?" Draco asked. Harry nodded. "but I can't tell, it's a surprise, you could've asked Regulus." Harry said. "but I can't handle surprises, where are we going?" Draco sat back up and looked Harry in the eye. "we're going towards a forest, at a glamping and each student gets a task to do by the end of the week and we'll grade that." Harry replied. Draco smiled. "what's the task?" Draco asked. "I don't know, each person gets an individual one." Harry said. Draco nodded. "and each sixth year fifth year and fourth year have to sleep in the rooms with younger ages to avoid shagging, but I told the school that you have some kind of 'therapy sessions' and some anxieties and they allowed us to share a room." Harry said. Draco smiled. "we should get our asses towards the bus or they'll leave without us." Harry said. Draco stood up and kissed Harry's cheek. "where did that come from?" Harry asked. "I just," Draco hesitated and wrapped his arms around Harry. "thanks for being there for me, like the brother I never had." Draco smiled. "brother?" Harry asked. "in some situations, yes." Draco replied. "and others?" Draco smirked. "you feel like my dad." Draco said. "actually?" Harry asked. Draco nodded. "and of course you are the most important person in my life right now, I love you more than I've ever loved anyone else." Draco said. Harry smiled. "let's go." Harry walked out of the classroom and they went towards the bus and Draco sat next to Pansy. "why were you so long gone?" Harry sat in front of them next to one of the teachers. "I had to talk about something about home with our teacher since I live with him." Draco replied. "you live with Harry?" Pansy asked. Draco nodded. "must be horrible." she whispered. Draco chuckled. "no, he's the best to live with, you know about my anxiety?" Draco asked. "yeah." She said. "he helps me a lot with it, breathing exercises and daring to speak up and that." Draco replied. "oh that's quite nice, haven't you had any embarrassing encounters with him?" she asked. "yeah I did, a lot." Draco said. "have you seen him naked?" she asked. Draco nodded. "what?" she asked. "there is only one bathroom in that house, what do you expect. But there's a bonus he's hot." Draco whispered the last part. "I heard that." Harry said. Draco blushed. "it's a complement." Draco defended himself. Harry chuckled.
