Jade and the Silver Dragon

Chapter 17

Severus and Sirius drank their coffee, having gotten over their surprise when Harry and Draco came in holding hands. Severus watched as Harry kept glancing at the clock on the wall. "Is there somewhere where you need to be at a certain time, Harry?" He asked.

Harry took a bite of his pancakes before answering. "I'm going to the quidditch pitch," He answered grinning, trying to look innocent. "Didn't Pansy bring my broom?"

"Yes, it's by the door," Sirius said.

"Isn't there Gryffindor practice there this morning?" Severus asked cautiously.

"Yep," Harry smirked. "I'm supposed to be there for the practice."

"But... as a professor, you can't be on the team," Severus said smugly.

Harry swallowed the last bit of his orange juice, then got up after looking at the time again. "I'm not playing on the team. McGonagall asked me to coach the team," He grinned, then couldn't help but laugh at Severus' gobsmacked expression. He leaned down to press his lips to Draco's. "See you later my, Silver Dragon," he said softly still grinning, then left Severus' rooms, hearing him muttering something about conniving old broads, and Sirius' and Draco's laughter.

After a cup of coffee or two with Severus and Sirius, Draco went in search of Pansy. He found her sitting up in the Gryffindor stands with Hermione as they watched the practice. "Hey Pansy, surprised to see you here," he grinned leaning down to kiss her cheek. "Hello, Granger," He said to Hermione.

"Hello, Malfoy," Hermione said smirking putting emphasis on his name.

"Wake up okay?" Pansy asked grinning knowingly.

"Hmm, hmmm," He murmured as he watched Harry fly around on his broom, then couldn't help but smile when Harry caught his eye and flew towards them. Harry smiled in greeting to the two girls then leaned down to give Draco a teasing kiss to the lips as he hovered beside him.

Hermione shared a look with Pansy as Harry left Draco in a kiss-induced stupor. "Well, I need to finish an essay for Runes class. I'll see you two later," Hermione smiled, happy to see Harry getting his wish.

Draco waited until Hermione left and looked at Pansy. "So, how was movie night?" he asked.

"It was fun," Pansy replied. "We actually had a good time surrounded by Gryffindors."

"Did Harry come down with you when you left?" Draco asked not looking at her.

"No. Why?"

"He was there when I woke up," Draco frowned in confusion, "and I was completely naked."

"You don't know why you woke up naked? Don't you remember stripping down for bed?" Pansy asked getting concerned.

"No, I don't," he replied looking down at his hands. "Last thing I remember is sitting at the club with Blaise, drinking my firewhiskey...then waking up naked with Harry on top of me... not that I minded that last part," He grinned. "But I don't usually sleep in the buff. I found that a bit odd."

Pansy saw the confusion and the tiredness in Draco's eyes. She happened to glance down at his neck. "What happened to your hickie?" She asked moving his shirt collar.

"That's another thing Pans... this morning it was completely gone. Something that dark does not disappear over-night... and I was not planning on removing it magically," He said leaning his forehead on his hands. "I'm so bloody tired," He added sighing heavily.

Pansy rubbed Draco's back, noticing Draco absently rub on one of his fingers. She looked closer to see a small bruise on the pad of his finger. She was starting to get a little worried for her friend. What he described sent warning signals through her mind about Blaise and what he may be up to. She vowed to keep a closer watch on Blaise. "Why don't you go have a nap or go see Professor Snape for some pepper-up potion," She suggested.
