Chapter 11: The Best Defense...

There was an air of excitement as the Gryffindor/Slytherin Fifth Years made their way to their first full DADA class without Umbridge. They had enjoyed their combined Defense/Potions classes immensely but they missed learning about new spells and hexes.

Author's Note: I was reading some comments on an IJ thread and someone mentioned wanting some fluffy, in-bed, being lazy moments between Harry and Draco. I threw Severus in the mix on a whim because it's been a while since I've written my OT3 and I missed that something fierce.



"I don't see why I have to go." Ron pouted.

"Because Harry's your friend and has been for the past twenty years." Hermione practically growled, sick of having this same argument with her husband.

"Whatever." Ron snorted. Hermione ignored him as she headed for the fireplace.

Chapter 3



He woke slowly, feeling warmer than he had in some time. He opened his eyes slowly, blinking against the harsh light of the sun shining through the window. Once his eyes adjusted, he took in his surroundings. The walls were wood, midway between light and dark burgundy in color. The furniture was made of the same, decorated in all different shades of brown. He lay back against the pillows, rubbing his eyes as he tried to recall how he came to be here. The only thing he could remember were bright green eyes and being cold. He ran his fingers through his hair, wincing when they came upon a large knot near the base of his skull.

Chapter 9: Another Battle, Another Farce...

Three weeks into term, and Harry already hated the new Defense teacher with a passion rivaling her sub-hatred for Dumbledore. Delores Umbridge, Ministry lackey and spy for Minister Fudge was proving to the students at large that she didn't know one bloody thing about Defense Against The Dark Arts. The woman had taken an instant dislike to Harry for no reason other than the fact that she was Harry Potter. And the class was turning into the biggest joke of all. And Harry had had enough.

Twenty years later...

Draco stood beside his mother-in-law, Lily as they watched Hedwig enter the docking bay. James, Severus, Dumbledore and Remus scrambled into the room a few moments later.

"You were almost late, James." Lily admonished. James kissed her cheek.

"Sorry love. The Council meeting took longer than I expected." James replied. "Did we miss him?"

"No. Just docking now." Draco replied, pointing to the window they were looking out from.

Chapter 6: Participation is Required...But Not Necessarily Requested

Harry took a short nap like she had promised and upon noticing the time, groggily made her way to the Great Hall for dinner. Walking through the semi-dark dungeon corridors gave her a sense of peace and calm she'd never felt before. As she was about to climb the stairs, the quiet sounds of someone crying caught her attention. She followed the sound down a corridor that was barely used and came to a locked door. She tried the handle but the door wouldn't budge. She waved her wand, discovering an simple locking spell, and quickly removed it. She opened the door and saw a young girl, a first year from the looks of her, sitting on the floor.

"Hello." Harry stated. The girl looked up, quickly wiping her tears when she noticed Harry's Slytherin crest.

"Hi." the girl sniffled.

Chapter 19


"Harry!"

Draco awoke with a start, his heart beating hard in his chest. A hand landed on his shoulder, and he whirled around. Lucius stared at him.

"Breathe Draco." Lucius stated, rubbing circles in his son's back. It took some moments for him to calm down and breathe properly. When he did, he looked at his father with tears in his eyes.

"He's dead, Dad. He's dead." Draco covered his face and wept.

Draco walked into his home, more tired than he'd ever been in his life.

He thought working for the Ministry would be rewarding and exciting. But it was dull and tedious and left him with a migraine and the urge to quit on a daily basis.

It also made him question why he did it. What was there for him to make him suffer the tedium day in and day out?

He walked into his bedroom and stopped. He stared at the figure laying in his bed, a shaft of moonlight caressing the angles and planes of the body he'd come to love.

"Harry." he whispered. Harry shifted in his sleep, causing the sheet covering the lower half of his body to slide down his legs. Draco saw he was only wearing black briefs, and his shifting exposed one rounded buttock to Draco's hungry gaze.

Harry must have sensed him there for his eyes slowly opened, their sleepy green focusing on Draco immediately. He smiled and whispered Draco's name in a husky voice.

Draco melted. He took off his own clothes and joined his lover in bed, inhaling his scent. He kissed the chest beneath his chin as he felt Harry's hands caress his back.

This is why he did what he did. Because he had something to look forward to at the end of his day.

Fin.

Draco stepped into the family room and looked around. He didn't see the one he'd come looking for.

"Has anyone seen Harry?" he asked. Hermione glanced up from her wizarding law book.

"He said he was going for a walk." she replied. He nodded at her as he left the room. He knew exactly where Harry had gone.
