The Slytherin Spy

Last day

The summer seamed to fly by, with soft quiet nights with cups of tea and busy loud days with home decorating and furniture scraping. There of course were days when glasses broke and spells overpowered and made a few sparks but Harry's magic was now more or less stable.

So the August 31st soon arrived and Harry, sitting amongst a pile of new school books and there was a new set of robes draped over a chair nearby and Harry felt excitement bubble through him, yes he felt comfortable here with the new decorations and the new dwellers but it wasn't his home.

Hogwarts was where he discovered everything and he had always thought of it in that sense, as a home. And now he was going to be going back but he could sense things were going to become Bleeker, there was an unease lying on the lining of his gut but it was nothing...it can't mean anything right?

Harry shook his head from his thoughts and decided to get an early night, he had just pulled off his shirt when he heard a wolf whistle behind him. He spun around, still clutching his shirt and saw Draco leaning against the door frame. Harry rolled his eyes and tossed the shirt at him which Draco caught smirking. Then Draco took three sure strides and placed his hands on Harry's waist, just on the hip bones.
"Your beautiful you know that right?" Draco mummerd.
Harry grinned and wrapped his arms around Draco's shoulders.
"Says you Mr perfect skin and perfect hair"
Draco raised an eyebrow "well one wouldn't want to waste good looks like this"
Harry scoffed "modest much"
"Oh shut up, you love it" Draco replied and kissed Harry sweetly on the mouth.
"You ready for tomorrow?" Mummerd Harry after they broke off, his hands resting on Draco's shoulders.
"I guess... I'm just not sure how safe it's going to be"
"Dumbledore is going to be there, he won't let anything happen to you. Besides I'll be there"
Draco snorted "Ah yes how could I forget my very own hero boyfriend."
Harry looked at him. "It's going to be okay"
Draco held his gaze and then smiled weakly. "I hope so"

Steam rose up in to the air as the train whistled for departure, Harry and Draco sat in a compartment by themselves and truth be told there were a few things they would have liked to have done with those blinds shut but suddenly some bushy hair appeared in the corner of their window and three guesses as to who that was especially when the door was flung open and stood there, bushy hair and uniform in perfection, was Hermionie Granger. Next to her was none other than Ron Weasley who was considerably more scruffy than Hermionie. To Draco's surprise they sat down opposite them, there was a moment of silence before Ron spoke.
"So....you two are you like....you know...." Then he whispered "dating?"
Hermionie rolled her eyes
"Ron it's not a bad word! Besides I think there are very cute together"
Harry scratched his neck.
"I...we might be, I was going to tell you I just..."
"What Potter is trying to say is" Draco interrupted. "That we are dating and yes I know It's a big deal but Harry needs to tell you something else"
Harry shot a questioning look at Draco before realising. Of course, Draco had tried in Ernest to get Harry to owl them about the situation but it never happened.
"It's not important" Harry pressed.
Draco raised his eyebrows "not important? Harry it's very important"
"Did you just call him Harry?" Ron asked at the same time as Hermionie asked "What happened?"
Harry sighed, glaring and pouting his lip at Draco before explaining what had happened over the summer.

"Wow...wait so does that mean you can levitate the pumpkin juice without a wand? Mate that's cool"
Hermionie turned her head sharply to Ron.
"No Ron it is not "cool" this could be really dangerous, if Harry losses control or if he got put under imperium then"
"Yeah but that's not going to happen" Harry interjected.
"Harry..." Hermionie tried.
"No. Look your just making it a huge deal anyways" Harry retorted.
"We just don't want you getting hurt is all" Ron said.
Harry took in a deep breath.
"Yeah I know, sorry I just feel a bit on edge you know... I'm not sure it just feels sort of...dark"
"It's probably just nerves, now you two should get dressed I think we're nearly there"
"Yeah" Ron chimed in standing up and then blurting out "Wait you're not changing together? Have you seen each other naked? Wait no I don't want to know"
"I'll have you know that Harry has a very nice..." Draco started and then the door slammed shut and Harry and Draco burst out laughing.

Harry, Draco and dozens others were walking to the great hall for the opening feast and it was just when Harry had turned around the corner that he felt an unease fill up from the bottom of his arm up to his chest. If felt like an ice cold silent shadow silently shifting up his veins and he shuddered and then all of a sudden it was gone. But it left behind a mark of danger. Danger, since when was Hogwarts ever not in danger?
