The secrets we keep

Chapter six

This one is mainly Harry centred. Trigger warning for abuse and eating disorders.

Harry had never felt anything like this before, His inner alpha was cheering in delight, the sensation of Draco's lips against his was incredible. Unfortunately, the moment was ruined when Ron coughed loudly. The two of them pulled away from the kiss reluctantly and Harry glared at Ron before asking "What?" annoyance clear in his voice. "Sorry mate but we've arrived." Ron said trying not to laugh at his best friend's face. "Oh right." Harry responded and grabbed Draco's hand, pulling him out of the carriage with him.

Draco blushed darkly as Harry pulled him out of the carriage. Looking at their joined hands and sighed as he pulled his hand free. Harry look at him in surprise. "Did you not want to hold hands?" Harry asked confused. Draco's blush went a shade darker. "I-It's not t-that I don't w-want to...I j-just use my r-right hand for m-my cane." Draco responded gesturing to the cane that was now in the correct hand.

Harry smirked suddenly and moved to Draco's other side and grasped his left hand with his right. "There. Problem solved." Harry said smiling. And, once again the moment was ruined by Ron who was already walking towards the castle's doors with Hermione. "Come on love birds! We'll miss the feast!" Ron shouted. With that, the two boys followed Harry's friend into the castle. However as soon as they had taken a seat at the table clearly labelled 8th years, almost all of the students there glared at him.

Draco had to resist the urge to let out a whimper as he felt all of their eyes on him. As if sensing his mates discomfort, Harry wrapped an arm around Draco's waist and pulled him closer before glaring at everyone at the table as if he was daring them to try anything. "You ok?" Harry asked softly. Draco just nodded. Slowly, the chatter that filled the great hall fell into silence as professor Mcgonagall stood at the front of the hall.

"Now I won't bore you all with a long speech so I'll make this short. For those of you who are new, welcome to Hogwarts. If you are a returning student or an 8th year, welcome back. A list of the rules has been pinned on the doors of the hall along with a list of banned items. You all have two days before classes begin. Now I would like to introduce the new members of staff. Professor Weasley will be teaching defence against the dark arts and Professor Slughorn has returned to teach potions. Now that's all I have to say so enjoy!" And as soon as Mcgonagall finished the tables filled with food.

As soon as the food appeared, everyone began filling their plates. However, Draco Malfoy did not, he just looked at his empty plate. Harry looked at his mate in worry, He wasn't eating. "Draco you need to eat something." Harry told him softly. Draco shook his head. "I-I don't w-want to...t-too nervous..." He said shakily. Harry sighed and put a couple of roast potatoes and some chicken on Draco's plate. Draco just looked at Harry, his discomfort evident on his face. "Please Draco. Eat. Just a little" Harry begged. Draco sat there silently before slowly beginning to eat.

Harry sighed in relief and kissed Draco on the cheek. As soon as he did though, Draco stopped eating. "W-What was that f-for?" Draco asked surprised. Harry smiled at his adorable mate. "I just wanted to." Draco looked conflicted but smiled softly. "O-Okay then." He replied but was taken by surprise again as Harry pecked him on the lips. Instantly, Draco hid his face in his hands,blushing furiously . "H-Harry...people w-will see...." Draco whined in embarrassment. Harry Just looked at his flustered mate. "So what? I'm not going to let them do anything to you." Harry stated confidently, making his mate blush even more than he already was.

Around twenty minuets later, Mcgonagall got their attention again. "Now I hope you have eaten your fill. Prefects please lead your house to their common rooms. 8th years please wait a moment." She announced. Quickly, the rest of the students flooded out of the hall leaving the 8th years there. Mcgonagall motioned for them to follow her. The students quickly made to follow their Headmistress. Quickly, they all followed Mcgonagall to a painting on the second floor. "Now your password is Unity, Your roommates names will be on a list inside. Now get settled in. classes start at eight thirty sharp as you should all know." She said before going to her office. Draco gripped Harry's hand tightly as they made their way inside their new common room. Harry pulled Draco over to list of roommates and grinned as he read it. "Looks like we're roommates Draco." Harry said happily.
