Draco and Harry woke up together. Draco sat up and looked around. His eyes landed on Harry. He smiled, and leaned down to kiss him on the cheek. Harry stirred.

"Hey." Harry said. He started to rub his eyes a little. "What time is it?" He asked.

"I don't know. Hold on." Draco said. He though hard, and a clock appeared on the wall. Draco read it, and the realization set in.

"SHIT! We slept through all our classes! If we hurry we can make it to Defense!" Draco yelled alarmingly. He jumped out of the bed, and looked down at disgust. "Fuck, I need a shower." Draco said to himself. A shower popped out of nowhere.

Harry at this point, had jumped out of bed, and immediately started to throw on his uniform. Draco only managed to wash the most needed places, before jumping out, drying off, and throwing his uniform on. They both looked a mess running down the hall to get to Professor Lupin's class.

Just as they reached the classroom, Professor Lupin opened up the door. Without the sudden impact of trying to open the door, Harry and Draco fell into the classroom.

The classroom started to laugh at Harry and Draco, sprawled out on floor. Harry got up, and helped Draco up. Lupin closed the doors.

"You're lucky I heard you running down the hall, and decided to wait a minute for you to get here. Now sit down." Lupin said. Although he tried to keep a straight face, his mouth was curling upward in a forced down smile. Harry and Draco sat down, and class commenced.

"Alright, today we are going to talk about a very controversial spell. It can transfer one's soul to possesses another's body. I am not allowed, by the Ministry, to tell you the incantation or name, of this spell. But I am permitted to tell you; the signs that one has possessed themselves with another's soul, what the parameters are, and how to destroy the possessing soul." Lupin said.

Harry was really intrigued with that lesson. He was glad he come to class.

"Now the signs that someone is possessed willingly is the eyes and personality. The eyes are a gateway to the soul, so when another soul is taking over a body, the eyes will change to the eyes of the possessor. Lets say you have brown eyes, but a blue eyed soul is possessing you. You're eyes will become blue. The personality will change of course. The personality will be the one the possessor has. So if a genuinely nice person starts to act cold and psychotic, then that would be a contributing factor." Lupin said. Everyone was listening to him. It was probably the most interesting lesson they've gotten from him.

"Now, the parameters. To make a soul posses you, the body of the desired soul must be destroyed. Next, you must have the correct incantation. And lastly, the worst part, is you must bleed yourself out, within an inch of death. And with your last dying words, repeat the incantation. Many who try it don't even make it to the incantation because they would accidentally kill themselves too fast. Because of the set back, only a couple of people have managed to successfully complete it, but thankfully no one has used it for evil purposes. Overall, many who successfully completed it, wished to bring back a loved soul to live on through them. Even so, someone could still try to use it for evil. A couple of people were recorded dying, trying to bring back You-Know-Who after his defeat. Because of this, it has been outlawed." Lupin concluded.

Everyone wrote down their notes for the remainder of class, and started to pack up.

"Mr. Potter, Mr. Malfoy, please stay after class for a moment." Lupin asked. Harry and Draco finished packing up, and walked to the front of the classroom. Lupin waited for the rest of the students to leave, and then turned to the two.

"So tell me. Why did you have to run to class?" Remus asked. Harry and Draco blushed.

"Uh, we just lost track of time is all." Harry said. It was not a lie at least.

Remus looked at the two, and sniffed. He shook his head, and laughed.

"You know, I do have a super sense of smell and hearing. I heard you two running down the hall. And I can smell a familiar smell." Remus added. Harry and Draco were about to bolt.

"It's the first day of school. Keep it to your free time when there aren't classes to attend." Remus told them.

"Are you going to tell Sirius?" Harry asked. Remus laughed.

"Of course I am. I bet 5 galleons on you hooking up with him! Sirius owes me!" Remus laughed. Harry and Draco laughed as well. The two headed to the dinning hall, hand in hand. When they got there, Hermione was waiting for Harry and Draco.

"Harry!" Hermione yelled. She went in for a hug, which pissed Draco off a little.

"Congratulations!" Hermione said. She let go of Harry, and turned to give Draco a hug.

"If you hurt him I'll hex you till you're unrecognizable!" Hermione said in a very excited tone, which made her threat even more scary. She let go of him.

"I'm so happy for the both of you." She said before going back to the Ravenclaw table.

Harry and Draco walked back to their table, and sat next to Blaise. He looked like a mess as well.

"Hey mate, what happened?" Draco asked. Blaise set down his goblet.

"Do you know Luna Lovegood by any chance?" Blaise asked. Harry nodded.

"Yeah. Her father works for the Quibbler." Harry said. Blaise nodded.

"That's good, because me and her have been dating since 4th year, and let's say you and Draco weren't the only one that got laid today." Blaise said smirking. Draco swallowed his water quickly as to not spit it out, and he started to cough.

"How did you know?" Draco asked. He dried off his chin from any dribble.

"And more importantly, how did you manage to date Luna?" Harry asked. Blaise laughed a little.

"She was really peculiar, and she actually asked me out. Of course I said yes. She's a really nice girl. Very dirty as well." Blaise said nonchalantly. Harry was trying to keep his laughter to a minimum.

They all ate quickly, and headed to the dungeons. The trio ended up borrowing notes from the others to make up what they missed from the other classes.

Harry and Draco managed to make it to their beds after awhile of studying, and everyone fell asleep easily.

The next two months or so was somewhat normal. The Daily Prophet had reported an increase in death eater activity, and the massacre of a small village of muggles and squibs. Only two of the perpetrators were caught though. It was a weekend, and Draco's father had owled him, wishing to see him. Draco got up extra early, before the others, to get ready and leave before Harry and Blaise woke up. He didn't want anyone to know he was visiting his father.

In the letter, Lucius asked if he could meet him at Borgin and Burke's. Draco put on a hooded robe to hide his face, and he set out to the store.

When he got there Narcissa and Lucius where waiting for him. Draco pulled back his hood.

"Hello Father, Mother." Draco greeted. Nothing was said, but Narcissa took his arm, and guided him to the top floor.

"What did you want to speak about?" Draco asked. He looked to his father. He was wearing dark sunglasses on. "Did you hurt your eyes?" He asked. Lucius chuckled a little.

"Yeah, I was making a potion, and the fumes irritated my eyes a bit. No worries. Now, I wanted to talk to you about a somewhat sensitive matter. I heard from one of your friends, that you and Harry Potter are dating. Is that true?" Lucius inquired. Draco started to sweat a little. He forgot about how Lucius would react to Harry.

"Um, yes, that is true. We had both liked each other since 3rd year, and we ended up getting together in September. On the train ride to Hogwarts." Draco answered truthfully.

Lucius cocked his eyebrow a little. Narcissa looked very worried at Lucius. Draco looked at Narcissa, and noticed a small bruise on her cheek. It was very faint, but Draco noticed. He didn't say anything though.

"Would you be so kind as to bring Harry over during Christmas Break. I'd like to... get to know him, a little better. Apologize for my rudeness to him when he was younger." Lucius said. His voice was a lot more fluid than usually. Lucius was looking at Draco directly, and not down the barrel of his nose. Draco slowly nodded his head.

"I can ask him to come over on Christmas Eve. He does have an extended family he likes to be with for the Holidays, but I'm sure he can spare one day to come over. I will ask him, and owl you his response." Draco said professionally. Draco always talked to Lucius as if he was his boss, and Lucius talked to him as if he were an employee. Although Lucius had changed a little.

Lucius stepped forward, and gave Draco a hug. Draco stood there for a moment, before awkwardly hugging him back. That was the first time Draco could remember hugging his father. Draco turned to his mother, and hugged her. The two had always been a lot closer, since Narcissa was a lot more forgiving and kind.

"Farewell Draco." Lucius said as he and Narcissa exited the store. Draco decided to look through the store a little. He wanted to get Harry something for Christmas. Once his purchase was complete, Draco walked back to school, and to the dungeons.

When Draco arrived, Blaise and Harry were already showering. He quickly slipped the present in his trunk, and waited for Harry.

Harry got out of the bathroom, and started to get dressed.

"Could you come over for Christmas Eve? My father wants to met you in a different light, and apologize for his rudeness." Draco asked. Harry continued to get dressed.

"Of course. The Weasleys usually spend Christmas Eve together, and I usually come over towards the night time. As long as I'm able to be at The Burrow by 9 or 10." Harry answered. Draco smiled.

'I'm so glad Father is changing. This will be great.' Draco thought. Harry dressed in his purple suit, with a black button up, and a purple tie. Draco wore a black suit with his white button up, and no tie. The two had planned a day together with Hermione and Ron. A double date of sorts. They met Hermione and Ron in the courtyard, and started to walk to the Three Broomsticks. They all chose a booth in the corner.

"Anything interesting been going on?" Harry asked.

"Nothing much just practicing Quidditch mainly." Ron answered simply.

"I've been studying a lot more. So far the only time I can take a break from studying is if I go narggle hunting with Luna." Hermione said. "What about you two?"

"Just skipping class here and there." Draco joked.

"Pretty much." Harry agreed. Hermione huffed.

"You two shouldn't be skipping class. Our midterms are soon. You should be studying." Hermione scolded. Harry laughed.

"Relax Hermione. Just about everyone from Slytherin hands out copies of their notes. The only E I'm probably going to get in midterms is in Potions, but I cant help that. Snape still doesn't like me, even though I'm in Slytherin." Harry said.

"Yeah, that and we always skip Snape's classes if its just a notes day." Draco added. "We all have a system. A couple of the students never miss class because they honestly can't afford to. The people who can afford to leave just skip classes that are completely note based, and we borrow the notes, and read out of the textbooks. It's a pretty brilliant system if I do say so." Draco said. Everyone had a little laugh except for Hermione.

"Well I guess the hat was right. Cunning and ambitious definitely suits you Harry." Ron said. Harry smiled.

"You are right." Harry said.

They spent the majority of the day drinking butter beer, and walking around Hogsmeade. Harry was able to break away from Draco long enough to get him a present, and Hermione and Ron split up to go get Christmas presents. Once they're shopping was done, they headed back to the common room to study a bit more.

The next day, Draco planned out a little sky date. He grabbed his and Harry's broomsticks, and left a note for Harry to come to the Quidditch field. Draco made sure to head out extra early so he could set up the date area, and have enough time to get back to the field.

Draco waited outside, until he saw Harry start walking towards him on the pitch.

"What's all of this?" Harry asked. Draco just handed him his broom.

"Follow me." Draco said. Draco mounted his broom and kicked off. Harry followed quickly after. The two flew up into the sky, so they were high up above the school. Draco started to fly towards the mountains. Harry followed after him. After awhile of flying, they reached a cliff. Harry saw a laid out blanket, and plates of food. The two touched down.

"The view is gorgeous." Harry said, looking at the morning sky.

"Not as gorgeous as you though." Draco said. Harry walked over, and wrapped his hands around Draco's waist, and pulled him in for a kiss. Draco wrapped his arms around Harry's neck, and kissed him back. They parted, and sat down on the blanket.

Draco handed him some tarts. They both ate some sweets, and watched the sky. Sometime in the day, Harry dozed off on Draco's lap. Draco just combed his fingers through Harry's hair, and waited for him to wake up. He just enjoyed being with Harry.

The sun was about to start setting. He awoke Harry, so they could watch the sun set together. The sky was painted in pinks and purples. And then soon the purple turned into dark shades of blue, and then the sky turned black. Draco and Harry packed up everything, and flew back to the castle. They made their way to the dorms, and just laid in their beds, thinking of the other.

They both soon fell asleep.

yo sorry its kinda shitty, but I think its looking a little better now that we got an actual couple. btw I accidentaly ended up shipping ron and blaise, but I decided against it, and put him with Hermione, and blaise with luna.
