Hermione started talking once everyone was comfortable (meaning once Harry had curled up in Draco's lap with a blanket around them both).

"Well, me and Ron was going to stay after double potions to ask for extra homework for you both considering we have that lesson with Slytherins," She explained, "when we heard Professor Mcgonagall speaking to Snape about Blaise and Pansy."

"Yeah, apparently Dumbledore says that he needn't expell Blaise, considering he had no clear part in the scheme as he put it." Ron finished for her, earning a gasp from Harry and a growl from Draco.

"He needn't ever do anything! My father will hear about this- that-that pathetic excuse of a headmaster!" He snarled, bringing Harry closer to his chest, "It's okay baby, I won't let him anywhere near you."

"Well it seemed as if Severus wanted us to hear it all, as if he knew we were behind the door waiting. Probably because he saw Ron's red hair- I bet Hagrid can see your hair right now all the way from here!"

"Hermione!" He hissed, stroking a hand through his hair, "It may be because you were speaking too loudly; going on about Amortentia and the homework."

She scoffed.
"Says the one! You stood, visibly staring at them both! I was trying to tell you to- Mmph."

She raised her eyebrows as Ron pressed his lips onto hers, making Harry and Draco whistle and cheer.

He pulled away with a blush, while her face had turned completely scarlet.
"Now shut it, Hemmy." He grumbled, using the nickname only he was allowed to call her.

Harry grinned, loving the fact his best friends were a couple.

"Anyway, carry on. Did Snape say anything? Surely he would have defended me. He knows I'm a Veela; if Blaise is even in the same room with me, he'll be like Nearly Headless Nick. Except he'll be the Completely Headless Blaise!" He clenched his fists, but Potter unclenched them for him and placed the blondies hand in his smaller one.

"Yes, Snape did say that you would no doubt attack the boy, and that the blame shouldn't be on you if it happened," Granger furrowed her eyebrows as if to remember the conversation in detail, "But Mcgonagall said that you'd be expelled if you hurt him without any proof he had done something to you or your mate."

"We had no proof with Pansy, but it still happened!"

The raven haired boy kept quiet, occasionally stroking his thumb across Draco's knuckles to keep him calm.

"Actually, they walked into the Room of Requirements and saw the torture table she used, therefore leading to Dumbledore agreeing to expell her for her actions." Ron sighed, shrugging, "I don't know what we can do. I'm sorry, Harry."

"Don't be," He replied, "If Blaise comes near me then he can be expelled but I guess they're right. No proof, so they can't just send Mr Zabini back home because his close friend did something crazy."

"Princess, she tortured you and attempted rape. He obviously had something to do with it, Pansy isn't as bright as to think of that many torture weapons."

"Wait... Oh my MERLIN, SHUT THE FRIDGE!-"

"What fridge 'Mion-"

"DID HE JUST CALL YOU PRINCESS? RONALD TAKE A PICTURE, I CAN'T EVEN..." the female let loose a squeal, making them all flinch and cover their ears, "THEY ARE SO ADORABLE!"

Harry smiled gently before turning back to Draco.

"Well I'm not leaving your side, and if he comes near me and tries anything, I'll crucio the son of a bitch." He tried reassuring Draco, but it didn't work too well.

"The thing is, we don't know for sure he had something to do with this. We know he said a few hurtful things to Harry when finding out that he was Draco's mate and not Pansy, but is he really the type of guy to take it this far? I don't think he'd really sacrifice everything just to make sure he can walk around with Pansy and his ex best friend acting all lovey around each other." Hermione sighed and shook her head in defeat.

"On the bright side, we got the homework!" Ron laughed nervously, handing them some pieces of work that needed to be completed.

"Oh woah, thanks Ronny, I'll cherish it forever and ever to make me happy whenever I'm upset." Harrys tone drowned in sarcasm as he rolled his eyes.

"I wouldn't reccomend it, Harold. It's due in next week, so you can't exactly keep it forever and ever." He grinned, raising his eyebrows jokingly.

Sighing, Malfoy stood up and headed to their bedroom.

"Were's he going?"

"Probably going to cry because he reccons he wasn't a good enough mate to keep me safe and anyway from those who harm me." Harry recited back to Hermione's question as if he'd heard it a million times (and he had).

"Hey, Harry, up for a round of chess?" Ron smiled, and a chess set appeared infront of them, obviously one he had just managed to accio.

"Yeah, sure."

After one round of chess and Ronald winning (as per usual), Hermione claimed they were late for their last class, and so they started to head off, Harry locking the door behind them.

Then he decided to check on Draco, the blanket bundled in his arms so he could tuck them both in for another lazy nap.

Walking in, he saw that the blond Slytherin was already asleep, shivering as the bed sheets were sprawled on the floor. Getting closer, he saw there was tear stains down his face.

"Oh Draco." He whispered although not intending to wake him, climbing in beside the boy and wrapping the blanket around him securely, "Warm up, love. None of this is your fault."

He pressed a kiss onto his cheek and cuddled close to him, accidently waking him.

"I promised to keep you safe," Malfoy took a shakey breath, "I've failed you."

"Draco, unless you forgot, you saved me last time. I highly doubt he'd attempt to finish what Pansy started, but if he does, I'll always be beside you so he won't be able to. I need to keep you safe, too. I don't care whether you're the dominant one who protects us both, I'll do my best to make sure you are happy. If that's for me to stay alive so you don't die with me, then so be it, my king."

"Thank you," he smiled gently, "but stay close to me at all times. I love you too much to see you hurt."

"I love you too, sweet cheeks."

With that, he placed a small kiss on the boys nose before dozing off again, this time with Draco snoring in his ear, satisfying him.
