A Rose's Thorn

Kisses and Marks

"I never stopped loving you Dray! I tried telling myself not to love you. But I just..."

"Shut up and kiss me you dork." Draco huffed.

The comment earned Draco a smirk followed by an aggressive kiss. Fighting for dominance Draco ended up losing. But he didn't care much. He was getting what he had been craving for the last three weeks. Rough or not, he didn't care.

"I love you Harry." Draco whispered.

Harry smiled. He observed Draco's bruised lips and licked his own. Harry placed a gentler kiss on Draco's lips. Draco's arms wrapped around his neck. They only pulled back when they were out of breath.

"How much longer do you think Sevy is going to keep us in here?" Harry asked.

"No idea. It's been about a week almost already. Wait why?" Draco raised an eyebrow.

Harry smiled. "Well... I was wondering if maybe... I don't know if you maybe..."

"Spit it out already." Draco said, arms crossed over his chest.

"Draco I want to complete our bond. Properly this time. No loopholes." Harry looked down.

Draco stepped closer to Harry. He placed his hand on Harry's cheek. Harry instinctively leaned into the touch. A smile graced Draco's lips.

"Why don't we wait just a little longer love. I, for one, do not want my godfather catching us in the act." Draco said.

Harry nodded. "Can we cuddle while we wait? And I want to play with your hair."

Draco laughed and nodded. They made themselves comfortable on the floor since the room only had single chairs. And since they had basically been passing out on the floor the whole week, it didn't matter much. Harry was propped up against the wall and Draco laid against him. The best position for Harry to comb his fingers through Draco's hair. Draco hummed happily as he slowly started to fall asleep.

To say Snape was relieved was an understatement. He bad decided to give the two the benefit of the doubt. Since Thursday he hadn't had to repair anything in his class. He wouldn't let himself hope though. Instead he decided he would check to see if he could let them out early. The sight before him actually brought a smile to his lips and a breath of relief. He didn't lock the door when he left the room since there was no need.

What surprised and scared him was the fact that the two boys had slept through pretty much the whole day. Since Snape was holding the detention that Saturday he was surprised his yelling hadn't woken them. Missing meals wasn't the issue since he would force them to eat anyway. But they hadn't woken even when he was yelling. Or at least he thought they hadn't since he wasn't actually watching them.

It was well after lunch time, almost dinner time, when the band of misfits, something Snape had taken to silently labeling them, walked into his classroom. He raised an eyebrow at the added two people that followed close behind. Hermione was the first to notice the open door and she practically squeaked. They started a rather casual conversation while they waited. Which didn't take long because 10 minutes later Seamus was shouting. No one had noticed the emergence of the two boys until it was practically too late.

"Harry don't touch that!"

All eyes went to the side. Just in time to see Harry fall. Draco caught him before he hit the ground.

"Damnit we don't even know how the stupid..."

"He pricked his finger." Three voices said in chorus.

No one knew where to look. Some looked behind them while the others looked at Draco. Then they switched. Draco had only then taken notice of the extra two bodies. He frowned and looked about ready to throw a punch. But his hands were full and the others decided to leave it like that. Even though Blaise was wanting to help with Harry.
