Dragon's Promise

Chapter 10

EDITED

A WEEK LATER

Harry's P.O.V

"Raven? I need to tell you something." I looked over at Draco as he took a deep breath. "W- when the death eaters came the other night they um... they..." He sighed and ran a hand nervously through his hair. "They what Dragon?" I asked, I was starting to worry about what he was going to say. 

"They threatened me. They told me that if I wouldn't kill Dumbledore they would make me. With the imperius curse. T-then kill y-you." Draco put his head in his hands and began to cry softly. I walked over to him and sat down. Staring at my feet we sat in silence, the only noise was Draco's quiet sobs. After a minute I wrapped my arms around him and started to run my fingers through his soft blond locks. 

"I'm not going anywhere Little Dragon. Neither is Dumbledore, we'll find a way out of this. Just like we always do." Draco looked up at me and gave me a sweet lingering kiss. He hung his arms around my neck and we stayed like that until there was a knock on the door. "Come in." I said, staring into Draco's eyes while still wrapped in his embrace. 

"Oh- I hope I'm not interrupting anything."  Professor Dumbledore stood in the doorway looking extremely uncomfortable. "Oh! No, no professor not anything... like that." Draco said quickly, his face turning red. "Ah, ok. Well- um, I would like to inform you that I am aware of your situation, Mr. Malfoy, and I would like you to know that I have something planned. You will not have to kill me." 

Draco visibly relaxed and buried his face back in my chest. "But, professor, what exactly is your plan?" I asked. "All in good time Harry." He replied with a sad smile. "Bu-" He quieted me with a finger to his lips, turning around and quietly closing the door. I looked down at Draco and kissed the top of his head. "See? Everything will be alright..." I said, probably sounding more like I was convincing myself than him. 

Draco's P.O.V

"See? Everything will be alright..." Harry said, but it sounded more like he was trying to convince himself. I sniffed and stopped crying. "Harry, are you ok?" I whispered, looking up at him. His bright emerald eyes misted with tears. "Huh? Oh yeah, I'm fine." He wiped his eyes and gave me a quick kiss. "No. You're not. Raven, what is it?" I asked quietly, pushing his jet black hair out of his face. Harry sighed and lay back on the bed, pulling me with him. 

"I'm worried about Dumbledore's 'plan'. He never tells me anything and what other options do we have? The death eaters made it clear that you have to kill Dumbledore." He sobbed. "No. You know what? We will be ok, we'll get through this. We- we... we..." I trailed off starting to weep. How were we going to avoid this? It was impossible. I had to kill Dumbledore or I would die. 

"How about we go for a walk? Just a short one down by the lake." I suggested. "Are you sure you're feeling well enough? I mean you only just came back-" I cut him off with a firm kiss before he could continue. "There, now get up! I have not been outside in ages!" I said, waving my hands in the air. Harry groaned and got off the bed.

"Fine. Get your cloak, it's a little bit nippy outside." He said. I skipped over to him and gave him a peck on the cheek. "If you say so darling!" I drawled, pulling on a sweater and then my cloak. I flounced over to Harry and threaded my arm through his. He laughed and bumped me with his hip, grabbing my hand as I stumbled and swinging me so our faces nearly touched. He started to lean in for a kiss but instead I smirked and said, "I love that I'm taller than you." and kissed the top of his head. "Dragonnnn." He complained. But I just grabbed his hand and tugged him out the door.

We started down the hall but before we got to far I asked, "Are we still keeping us a secret?" Harry looked at me and smiled. "No, I think most people already know anyways." That was probably true. After all, why else would you see the Slytherin prince and the chosen one holding hands? "Who would have thought that one day I would have the famous Harry Potter for a boyfriend?" I smirked. Harry just rolled his eyes and started walking again. We got a lot of strange stares from our fellow students, but nobody said anything to us. 

We reached the lake and I turned so I was facing Harry. "Raven, I don't think I ever asked formally so... Will you be my boyfriend?" His eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously. "Of course Dragon." I leaned down a bit and our lips connected with a gentle passion. "I love you." He mumbled against my lips. "I love you too."

Harry's P.O.V

This moment was perfect, I wished I could stay in it forever. Draco's sweet scent of cinnamon and vanilla was overpowering. He finally pulled away breathlessly. "You will never understand how much I love you Potter." He whispered. What did I do to deserve him? "Ah, but I'll make sure you know how much I love you." I said in his ear, causing him to shiver. "Oh,really?" He smirked. I kissed his jaw working my way up to the sensitive spot by his ear. "C'mon, let's go back to our room." I said quietly. We arrived at our room and enjoyed a very pleasurable night...

Hey guys! Sorry I'm keeping this PG 13. Also, one of my friends suggested that I share something about myself so here you go: I'm Canadian, my Hogwarts house is Slytherin and my Ilvermorny house is Wampus. My patronus is a thestral and my favourite character is Draco Malfoy. I play the oboe, double bass, basson, violin and piano and my favourite television series is Yuri!!! On Ice. What are your houses, patronuses etc.? I'm thinking about starting a Scorbus Fan Fic but I'm not sure yet, thoughts? Thanks for readin' y'all and don't be afraid to comment and/or vote!
