The Tale of the Lion and the Dragon
1: The Best Kind of Mistake
Harry turned away from the painted portrait, thinking now only of the four poster bed lying waiting for him in the Gryffindor Tower.* making his way out of Dumbledore's office and up to Gryffindor with Ron and Hermione by his side Harry felt peaceful and finally, safe.
The trio parted at the stairs, Ron and Hermione going down to the Great Hall to join the Weasley family and mourn Fred whilst Harry made his way up to his bed on the Seventh Floor, making a last minute decision Harry passed the Fat Lady and continued towards to Room of Requirement, or what was left of it.
As he turned the corner Harry halted, there sitting blankly in front of the charred doors was Draco Malfoy. Malfoy had obviously left the Great Hall to what? Harry frowned as he slowly made his way towards the boy, was Malfoy there to grieve? Was he waiting for someone?
"Are you going to continue staring at me Potter?"
"I- uh" Harry, shocked that Malfoy had spoken, fell to the floor next to him causing their shoulders to brush and yet Malfoy didn't move. They sat in awkward silence for a few minutes until Harry felt the need to break it, "I suppose I should thank you."
"Whatever for?"
Glancing out the corner of his eye at the still Malfoy and wiping his palms on his trousers "for your wand. For not identifying us when we were at your manor."
"You're welcome Potter."
Back to silence.
"I suppose I should thank you. For saving us all."
His eyebrows rose as Harry stared at Malfoy's profile "wow, I wasn't expecting that from you."
Malfoy turned his head sharply and pinned Harry with an icy glare, "what the fuck is that supposed to mean?"
Harry blinked in shock "uh, well it means that I never expected to be thanked by you. You've always hated me Malfoy that's why I didn't expect gratitude. Anyway," Harry desperate to change the subject grasped on the first thought he had upon seeing the blond, "what are you doing here?"
Malfoy closed his eyes and turned his face away "I came to see if I could get in so that Vincent's parents had a body to bury. And I came to apologise to my friend and mourn him," with a finality that Harry didn't like Malfoy stood and started to walk off but he paused halfway down the hallway and turned back to Harry "for what it's worth, Harry, I never hated you."
Frowning at Malfoy's retreating back Harry couldn't help but feel as though he had missed something important that Malfoy wanted him to know but couldn't express in as many words. "Malfoy wait!" Harry stood quickly to go after the blond but his vision went black as exhaustion set in, Harry let the darkness overtake him knowing that there would be no horrifying Voldemort induced dreams and that someone would take care of him.

Sunlight filtered onto Harry's closed eyes so he turned over to move away from the harsh glare when he hit something solid, opening his eyes Harry saw that he was in the Gryffindor Tower, in his old bed by the window and next to him was Draco Malfoy fast asleep. Malfoy's cheeks were flushed and his mouth slightly open, his blond hair was falling over his forehead and Harry couldn't help but notice that he wasn't all that pointy. He had grown into his features and Harry lifted a hand to smooth the hair away from his face, Harry knew he should feel guilty that he was lying in bed with Draco Malfoy when his girlfriend had waited through the war for him and was now grieving over the death of her brother.
Ginny had never stirred strong emotions in Harry; she made him feel like he was coming home but not home to Hogwarts, home to the Burrow. Home where he was accepted and loved and he wasn't anyone special but Malfoy made Harry feel as though he had come to Hogwarts for the first time; that Harry was someone special and yet Malfoy never treated him as such, and for that he was grateful.
Harry's hand had finished smoothing the hair away from Malfoy's face and had begun to trace lightly over his features; across his soft cheeks, down his straight nose to pause briefly on the indentation between his upper lip and nose before Harry's finger trailed to the right of Malfoy's face to his ear before trailing along his jaw to the other ear and across to brush over his plump lower lip.
Sighing Harry moved his hand away, jumping when his wrist was caught in a tight grip and Malfoy murmured "don't stop." Harry continued to trace Malfoy's lips before moving to his neck stopping when he reached the pulse point, feeling it beating wildly against his fingers.
Without thinking too seriously about the consequences Harry leant down and pressed his lips against Malfoy's. Malfoy moved his hand up from Harry's wrist to his shoulder and settling in his hair to push Harry's head closer to his own, Harry started to stroke Malfoy's neck with one hand the other moving to caress his chest as Malfoy's other hand gripped his hip.
Their lips moved together as their tongues mapped out the others mouth, Harry moved his hands to unbutton Malfoy's shirt, resting his weight on his elbows Harry slowly exposed Malfoy's pale, scarred chest. Malfoy pushed Harry onto his back and he sat up shedding his shirt before unbuttoning his trousers and tugging them down. He watched carefully as Harry feasted his eyes on Malfoy's erection, kicking his trousers off completely then Malfoy set about removing Harry's shirt, trousers and boxers.
When Harry was fully naked Malfoy slid up his body, revelling in the gasps, pants and moans that escaped Harry's lips before sealing his mouth over Harry's. Harry thrust his hips upwards and ground against Malfoy, one hand on either hip whilst Malfoy had one hand in Harry's hair the other was behind himself.
Pulling away from the kiss Malfoy sat up and looked seriously at Harry "do you want this?"
"I- yes, yes I want this, I want you." Malfoy returned Harry's smile before taking Harry's erection in his hand and easing himself onto it, moving up and down Malfoy took more of Harry inside on each downward movement.
"Yes" Harry hissed as he was completely covered in a tight heat, Malfoy's- no, Harry's mind spoke, Draco's channel fluttered around Harry contracting around Harry. Draco moaned and used the balls of his feet to push himself upwards then letting himself fall back down, impaling himself of Harry's cock. Harry drew his knees up until they rested against Draco's back and then sat up so he could wrap his arms around Draco and met him thrust for thrust, Draco flung his arms around Harry's neck and tipped his head back offering his neck for Harry to mark him.
Harry pulled away from Draco's neck pleased to see a bruise forming, Draco's thrusts were getting erratic and Harry knew that they both were almost at impeding orgasm. Pulling his head back Harry looked into Draco's flushed and sweaty face but he was disappointed that Draco had his eyes closed, "look at me."
Hooded grey eyes locked on green and the familiar tingling in Harry's belly caused him to cry out and come inside of Draco who was fisting his own cock furiously. Draco wailed Harry's name before Harry took control of Draco's hand movements "come for me Draco."
The sound of his name on Harry's lips caused Draco to keen as he pulsed over Harry's hand and both their stomachs. Together they flopped down onto the mattress Draco running his fingers through Harry's coarse pubic hair as Harry's fingers drew aimless patterns on Draco's bare shoulder.
Sated they lay in each others' arms breathing synchronised and hands wandering gently over sweaty skin. Footsteps on the stairs startled the two of them, Harry frantically reached for his clothes but Draco pushed him back and reached for Harry's wand. The curtains slid closed around them as the door opened, "wha-"
"Hush, you have to be quiet they will be able to hear you," Draco sighed in Harry's ear which brought forth a slight moan.
"Harry?" Hermione's voice penetrated the curtain, both men froze "I'm going to undo the wards okay Harry?"
Harry's body stiffened but Draco relaxed and resumed his ministrations over Harry's skin, raking fingers through the black curls to cup his hardening cock. Harry tried to shift away but couldn't go anywhere without Hermione knowing he was awake, wide awake.
"I can't get through them Ron."
"Oh, maybe his magic is a bit stronger after You-Know-Who."
"No that's not it," Hermione's voice sounded far away "it's not Harry's magic, Ron. It's someone else's." Draco now froze at this, his hand now holding both his and Harry's erections as they had begun frotting against the other.
"Oh right. Well maybe someone wants to make sure Harry doesn't get disturbed," Ron's voice sounded hopeful and at the same time doubtful.
"Um, well no Ron."
"What aren't you saying Hermione?"
"They were cast from the inside, someone is in Harry's bed with him keeping us from getting to him."
"Fuck."
Hermione giggled "yes I rather think Harry did."
Draco looked away from the curtains that he had been staring intently at as if he could see the conversation that was taking place the other side instead he chanced a glance at Harry who was staring at him.
"Maybe it's Ginny," Ron's voice suggested and Harry's eyes widened whilst Draco's narrowed menacingly.
"Maybe Ron," Hermione didn't sound too confident.
"Well we don't know where she is, haven't seen her since last night before we went to Dumbledore's office. Maybe she was waiting for him, I mean, we know they never broke up and that she was waiting for him. And we know that they snogged on his birthday last year so it's logical. Not that I want to think about my baby sister in that way but hey- Harry's a nice guy. He treats her right."
Draco had pulled away from Harry with each word from Ron's mouth until he was sitting at the end of the bed pulling his shirt on slowly so he didn't alert Ron and Hermione to his presence. Harry sat up and placed his hand on Draco's arm to try and stop him from dressing only to be pushed away, Harry felt a stab of pain in his chest as he looked at Draco, pain and heartache showed on his face.
"Maybe you're right Ron. Come on, let's go get some lunch, Harry will be down when he's ready," the door shut soon after and their footsteps faded. Draco was off the bed and out of the curtained boundary pulling his trousers on as he moved away from Harry "Draco-"
"Don't you fucking dare act the part of the kicked puppy! You fucking cheating bastard! I feel sorry for her, who knew that Our Saviour" Draco's voice was mocking and full of anger, "was so heartless to the woman he loves. Or am I going to be your dirty secret?" Harry's eyes shifted away and Draco seemed to slump as the anger left him, "that's it isn't it? You won't tell her so you're a heartless bastard to me. Do I deserve it in your eyes? Are you going to the Prophet? Tell them that Draco sodding Malfoy is gay and will not be able to redeem the Malfoy name because he is a pureblood freak."
It was the term 'freak' that forced Harry into action "No!" he roared "you are not a freak! You are beautiful and-" he cut off by Draco turning his back and walking away, ignoring Harry.
"You're pathetic Potter. Go back to your woman and have hordes of ginger brats and stay the fuck out of my life!"
"No Draco you don't understand," Harry was desperate; he was off the bed and gripping Draco's arm tightly "listen to me, please."
Draco faced him his emotionless mask in place, his voice completely even "are you or are you not currently with Ginny Weasley?" Shamefaced Harry nodded.
"Did you or did you not just have sex with somebody who was not her?"
"You know I did."
"Then does that not qualify as cheating? Or does it not count when it's a Death Eater and she doesn't know?"
"Yes! I mean no," Draco's eyes narrowed dangerously and Harry tried to salvage the situation "I don't know I-"
Draco backhanded Harry across the face before turning around and stalking to the door, he paused with his hand on the door handle and murmured so low that Harry had to strain to hear him "I can't believe I gave you the last vestiges of my innocence."
Opening the door Draco walked away without looking back at Harry who had collapsed onto the floor and slamming the door behind him.
