Sorry for my long absence, ive been super busy with school since the end of the semester is coming up, but i should be updating more often soon.

The corridors were dark and the castle quiet, the only sound was the soft patter of slippers on the carpeted floor, making their way from the dungeons to the tallest tower in the castle. Each step was calculated and well thought out before the foot even hit the ground, the owner of them constantly vigilant of their surroundings. Finally their destination neared and the fat lady was in view. They whispered the password and the painting granted them entrance gladly. The Gryffindor common room was warm and the fire crackled in the fire place. The room was empty, due to the time of night, except for one person. They had tanned skin and shaggy black hair.

"Hey" Draco said as he sat down on the couch next to his boyfriend

"Hello there" Harry replied and he pulled the blonde down onto the sofa and wrapped them in a quilt.

Draco nuzzled into Harry's chest and listened to the others heart beat as they lay there talking quietly about their day. Draco talked about how annoying the younger Slytherins were while Harry talked about Hermione getting suspicious. After a while they were both silent and laid in comfortable silence. Eventually they both fell asleep on the sofa. The next thing Harry knew, soft light was streaming in through the nearest window. He silently cursed for letting it get this late, someone would have caught them. He gently woke up Draco before sending the blonde back to his own room. Harry then ascended the stairs to his bed and laid down, falling asleep again.

"Harry, Harry, HARRY" a voice exclaimed

"What?" Harry mumbled, turning over

"Its time for breakfast mate, get up" the voice returned

Harry opened his eyes and put on his glasses to have Ron come into view.

"Fine, I'm getting up" Harry yawned and began to stretch.

Fifteen minutes later both boys were ready to head down to breakfast. Hermione met them in the common room and the trio walked together through the corridors to the Great Hall. When they got there, the hall was only half full, as it was a weekend and many chose to sleep in. Harry sat down and poured himself some tea, glancing at the Slytherin table. His eyes landed on blonde hair and fair skin, and the cheekbones that he loved. Suddenly silver eyes met his and the world stopped. They must have stared for too long since Harry seemed to have missed Hermione asking him something.

"Harry? Are you ok?" Hermione asked

"Hm?" Harry replied, turning to look at his friend

"You spaced out, and were staring at the Slytherin table" Hermione explained

"I'm fine, I just didn't sleep well" Harry made up

"Why's that?" Hermione asked

"I accidentally fell asleep in the common room on a sofa and didn't make it to my own bed until early this morning." Harry half told the truth

"Its true, he wasnt in his bed when I fell asleep" Ron added

Hermione just nodded and changed the conversation, this time, Harry paid attention to everything she said. He tried hard not to glance over at his secret lover but the temptation began to whittle away at him. When Hermione wasn't looking he stole a quick glance, Draco at that moment looked up and smirked then looked away. Harry then looked back at Hermione and began to listen to her again. Eventually breakfast was over and everyone made their way to do whatever they pleased, in Harry's case this meant finding Draco.

Harry wandered the corridors until he heard footsteps quickly coming towards him. He turned and saw a frantic blonde running towards him. Draco grabbed Harry and rushed the pair to the room of requirement, not stopping until they were in the room, the door shut.
