Draco's POV
--0-0-0-00--0-0-0

Over these past months, Harry's been doing much better. His medication is kicking in and helping him a lot. He was back to being his normal happy self.
It was almost the end of the year, and it's the first time that Harry's had a normal year. Nothing trying to kill him, nothing for him to worry about. We had our entire wedding planned out by now. I was just counting the days until we could finally get married.
Harry has already gotten job offers from aurors and I got an offer to be the potion teacher next year! That's great, but I don't want Harry getting hurt because of his job. So we've been talking about it and we're still deciding on if he should do it or not.
Right now we were cuddled up on the bed and talking about our six year anniversary and if we should celebrate it, or if we should celebrate our engagement when it comes around.
"Well maybe we should celebrate it for one last time before we get married," Harry said as he ran his hand up and down my arm.
"Want to go to dinner?" I asked. "We can celebrate by going to dinner in Hogsmeade and then come back to the dorm," I told him. He grinned evilly.
"And then sex?" He asked. I kissed his neck.
"Yep, then sex," I told him. "That is, if you're up for it,"
"We haven't had sex in weeks. I'm ready for it," he said.
"Great. Then this weekend while we're out I'll pick up more condoms and lube and then we can make up those sexless weeks," I said. Harry giggled and laid his head in my shoulder.
"I love you," he told me. I kissed his neck again.
"I love you too," I said. I put my arms around his waist and he put his arm around me. My head was in his shoulder and I could feel his soft breath on my head.
"So do you want to get dressed?" Harry asked. I looked down. Oops. We forgot to get dressed.
"No," I said. "I wanna cuddle. It's cold,"
"Okay," he said. "Can I put on some TV?"
"Yeah," I said. "But I'm comfy so don't get up,"
"Okay," Harry said. He grabbed his wand and turned the TV on. He put it on a channel that had movies 24/7. He turns back to me and kissed me.
"That okay?" He asked. I nodded.
"How are you doing?" I asked Harry.
"What do you mean, babe?" Harry asked.
"Are you okay? Like with everything going on? Is anything bothering you? Do y-"
"Dray, I would tell you if something is wrong. You know that. Is something wrong with you? You've been more cuddly lately. Not that I'm complaining, but you usually get more clingy when something is wrong." He said as he pet my hair.
"I just want to make sure you're okay. I don't want you to get depressed and do something bad," I said.
"Hey, it's okay. I won't do anything to harm myself. Okay? I'm okay." He told me.
"Promise?" I asked. Harry kissed my forehead.
"I promise. How about we take our minds off of this and go take a walk?" I nodded.
"Okay let's go. But you've gotta get dressed," he told me. I laughed and gave him a kiss before grabbing some jeans and a button up to put on. I grabbed my shoes and put them on, and turns around to see Harry in jeans and a t-shirt.
"Hot," I told him.
"Thanks. You look hot too," he told me. I smiled and walked over to him. I linked my arm with him and opened the door for us, letting Harry walk out first.
"Thank you Dray," Harry said. I kissed his forehead.
"You're welcome baby," I said.
We talked to some of the Slytherins in the common room before walking around Hogwarts. We went around all the hallways slowly, just absorbing everything. It was peaceful until we heard laughing and sniffling. I turned to Harry, who's eyes were wide. I unlatched my arm from his and ran toward it.
What I saw was terrible. It was a little boy being beaten up by some other students. It was a mix of all the houses who were pushing him around and hitting him. I heard shouting from the group.
"Faggot!"
"Nerd!"
"Looser!"
"Freak!"
"Stop, stop! I haven't done anything to you!" I recognized the voice.
"Aaron!" I yelled, and ran over. I shoved the kids out of the way. I didn't care if they were 11-14 year olds. They were bullying him.
"Get the fuck off of him." I growled, and they all stepped away. Aaron was huddled in a ball on the ground, sniffling. Harry ran over to him.
"Hey Aaron, it's me. Harry it's okay," he told Aaron as he scooped him up in his arms to try to calm him down.
"Don't even think about running away! Get back here NOW!" I yelled to everyone. They all turned back to me. "What were you doing?! Harming other students? Half of you are Hufflepuffs and Gryffindors! You're supposed to be the nice ones! And the Ravenclaws?! You're supposed to be smart, this isn't smart!" I yelled at them. "And just because some of you are Slytherins does not mean you have an excuse to bully people! 20 points per person from each of your houses and-and-!" I looked around to find any other prefects. "Jerry!" I yelled to the headboy. He turned to look at me from the other side of the hallway.
"Take these kids to McGonagall. They were hurting this kid." I told him. He growled and took them away. I turned back to Harry and Aaron.
"It's okay Aaron, they're gone now. Draco took care of it. They're gone." Harry told him as he pet his hair. Aaron was crying into his shoulder. I walked over and knelt down next to them. Harry looked over at me, wit an expression telling me 'it's bad'. I nodded and went to talk to Aaron.
"How about you come back with us to our dorm? We don't share with anyone else. No Slytherins will harm you, and that's a promise," I told him. He nodded into Harry's shoulder.
"Yes please," he gasped out. He held onto Harry's neck tighter as he picked him up bridal style. "Please don't let them hurt me anymore," he whimpered.
"We promise." I told him as we ran back to our dorm. "We won't let anyone hurt you anymore." We got to our house and I said the password, letting us in.
"Take Aaron to our room," I told Harry quietly. He nodded and ran to our room, shutting the door behind him. I turned to everyone in the common room.
"ALRIGHT LISTEN UP YOU FUCKERS," I yelled, getting everyone's attention. "If I find out that any of you are bullying Aaron, you'll have to deal with me. Got it?" A group of frantic terrified yes's erupted the room. "Good," I growled. I ran back to my dorm.
I saw Aaron sitting on our bed, and Harry healing one of his knees. Aaron's was telling him a story about how he got an A on a test he was worried about and that he was really happy. He was still sniffling a little.
"Hey bud," I said as I walked over.
"Hi Draco, Harry's fixing a scrape on my knee." Aaron told me.
"That's good. Aaron, are you okay?" I asked.
"I'm pretty sure. They didn't hurt me as much this time," he said as he looked over his body for any marks.
"This time?" I asked softly.
"Well," he looked down. "They've been doing this for a little while,"
"Okay, how long is a little while?" I asked. He mumbled something and I couldn't hear him.
"Aaron, could you be a little louder?" Harry asked softly as he healed up cuts and scrapes on his other leg.
"Beginning of the year..." He said.
"The beginning of the year?! Why didn't you tell anyone?" I asked. He sighed.
"They said that they would tell everyone," he said, tearing up. I brought a hand up his face and wiped the tears away.
"Tell them what?" I asked.
"I think I like boys..." He said quietly. "Michael makes me feel all fuzzy and stuff. He's always nice to me and smiled a lot and Blushes and he's really handsome," he fiddled with his thumbs. "I think he likes me but I don't know,"
I remember Michael. He's another first year Ravenclaw who has black shaggy hair and blue eyes. He's nice to everyone.
"I'm sure he does by the sound of it," Harry said. Aaron snapped his head up.
"Really?!" He asked with a smile. I smiled and nodded to him.
"Really. That's how I acted around Draco and bam here we are after 6 years together and getting married,"
"Aaron, how is this bad?" I asked. He looked down again.
"Well, they said that liking boys is wrong and I'm a freak. They said that I'm too smart and I'm a big nerd who should die," he said sadly, tears in his eyes again.
"I don't know why they do it, I've never done anything to make them mad at me..." He sniffled again. "They found out I was... I don't know if I'm gay or not... But they found out I liked guys and they said they would tell everyone. Including my family. I don't know if they'll like it that I like boys," tears started coming out of his eyes. "Why does everything have to be so hard?!" He exclaimed as he fell back in the bed. I flopped down next to him.
"It will be okay Aaron. Your parents love you and I'm sure they'll support you. Are you sure you're okay?" I asked.
"I'm sore but that always happens." He said.
"How about you crash here for tonight?" Harry asked. "You can stay here and have a sleepover with us until everything calms down. Wanna choose a movie to watch?" Harry asked as he held the remote up. Aaron gasped and shot off the bed.
"Yes please!! Oh wait but I don't have my toothbrush and stuff," he said. I transfigured a quill into a toothbrush and gave it to him, and went to my closet to get some pajamas for him.
"Hey Aaron, my clothes are going to be a little big on you. Is that okay?" I asked as I came back.
"Why am I going to wear your clothes?" He asked with his eyebrows furrowed.
"Well you need pajamas, duh." I told him as I walked over to him. "Blue or black?" I asked. "Or what about both?"
"Both!" He gasped as he ran over to me. I smiled and gave him the clothes and he ran to get changed. "Thank you Draco!" He yelled before he closed the bathroom door. Harry sighed.
"I didn't know he was getting bullied," he said quietly. "I wish he would have told someone before now,"
"It will be okay. At least we caught it now and not in the future where he could have gotten more hurt," I told him. He nodded. Aaron came back out and threw his clothes next to the couch.
"Thank you again," he said as he came over to us. Harry and I lent down to hug him.
"You're welcome Aaron. We're always here for you," I told him.
"You should just become our adoptive brother or something," Harry said.
"Ooh yay!" Aaron exclaimed.
"Alright then. You're now our adoptive brother," I said.
"Awesome. I've got two cool guys for my brothers now!" He said. I smiled.
"That's right. And as your brother I must be protective over you. So from now on, if anything happens, tell us and we'll help you. Okay?" I told him.
"Okay." Aaron smiled. "Can we watch a Disney movie?" He asked. Harry handed him the remote.
"Choose whatever you want. If it costs money, just buy it," he said.
"But I can't do that!" He gasped. "I can't take money from you,"
"It's fine Aaron. How about Mulan?" I asked. He nodded and put it on. He snuggled up to the side of the couch and watched the movie. I threw a bunch of pillows and blankets on top of him, and he let out a little giggle as he was covered in them.
"I am so building a fort tomorrow," he said, his voice being muffled through the blankets. I laughed and yawned. I made my way over to the bed with Harry.
"You don't mind if Draco and I cuddle do you?" Harry asked as he climbed in bed with me. Aaron shook his head.
"Just don't do anything sexual," he said. "I'm still 'innocent' as people put it I guess," Harry and I bursted out laughing, having Aaron giggle too.
"Don't worry Aaron," Harry said.
"Okay then. Carry on," he said.
Harry went on his side, facing Aaron, and cuddled up to my chest. My chest was pressed to his back, and I had my arms wrapped around his waist. Aaron yawned and turned to us.
"You guys don't snore, do you?" He asked in a tired tone. I smiled.
"Nope." I said.
"Good neither do I-" he yawned again. "-I'm tired. Can I go to sleep please?"
"Of course. You don't have to ask us." Harry said.
"Okay. Goodnight." He yawned. He nuzzled up to his pillow and fell asleep.
"I love you," I whispered to Harry.
"Love you more," he whispered back to me. "Love you too Aaron," he whispered to Aaron, who smiled a little in his sleep.
