With old friends and enemies surrounding him, questions about his slowly disintegrating marriage are hard to ignore.
Chapter Summary: "Not brooding are we Potter?" a voice drawled from behind him. Harry turned round and looked at Draco inquisitively. He looked a little drawn and a little tired but he was smiling nonetheless. Harry returned it enthusiastically.

A/N: So I've finished my temp. job, completed my jury service so now I am free to write... if we ignore my dissertation and my other job that is. Okay I'm slightly more free to write :) Hopefully I'll update a bit more regularly over the next two months! Feel free to badger me, it really does work. The completion of this chapter was spurred on by a comment I received today on the last one :) Let me know if you spot any mistakes!

( Read on with --PART 15-- )

Is it really a year since Deathly Hallows came out? A year since I stood outside the natural history musuem into the early hours of the morning, queuing to get my book signed by jk? I can't believe it was a year ago.... *is sad*

Tags:

Ok, so whoever heard me say I was looking forward to jury service?? If i ever have to do it again and repeat similar sentiments, please, feel free to kick me in the head....

Spent the whole day sitting around waiting to be called, eventually being sent home, after being there for five and a half hours i think. Argh. And I have to go through it all tomorrow. I can't wait til next week when I can actually do what I want with my time, between my two jobs and now my jury service, and before that exam revision and before that end of term essay writing, I feel like i havent had a break in months, which actually yes, i handed all my essays in in April so that was when it started. *sigh* I know this tends to be what real life is like, but I was hoping to be eased in.... ho hum.

Anyway, last week I did manage to go and see Prince Caspian for my birthday. And it was brilliant! I was worried it wouldn't live up to the lion the witch and the wardrobe, but i honestly thought it was better. They're all obviously a little more mature, and it makes the characters (and actors) much more watchable I thought.

In other news I finally saw SGA Search and Rescue, and i would take many words to express my appreciation (or not in some parts), but over all I found it enjoyable. I also caught The Seed yesterday which whilst being a little cliche? maybe not cliche, but something like that?? - in parts i found it enjoyable, was shouting at the screen and everything :)

Whilst I've not been sitting the The Waiting Area of Doom, I've become addicted to Josephine Darcy's The Marriage Stone. It's a Harry Potter SS/HP story (WIP), with the cliche of them being forced into marriage, but in a kind of original way. It's safe to say I've become hooked and read chapter one through seventy in about five days I believe. Safe to say I couldn't recommend it highly enough!!!

Finally, Smallville tomorrow night! *dances* I missed it last week due to my birthday-type happenings so I've got two new episodes (however lame they may end up being, i intend to squee anyway, there's something about that show, i just cant seem to help myself)

So I'm horribly ill... :( *cries* But I finally have a day off work tomorrow to recuperate.

I think i'm gonna use the time to read over and edit the next chapter of And All Over Again and then probably post it.

Right now I'm going to sleep because my brain is tired, but before I go, one question. Has anyone seen the photo from Half Blood Prince with Snape and Draco looking like directly at eachother, I've seen an icon (think was at dracomalfoyfans) but have no idea where the pic is from, unless it was a manip? But didnt look like it... anyway I'd be happy with any promo pics really or behind the scenes... I have much excitement for this film, and much hope that they arent going to remove all my favourite scenes from the books. One can but dream...

I think I'm going to have to stop watching Smallville... It keeps making me cry! And then I'll think back later on and cry again. I dont get it, no-one's dying. At the moment i'm at the end of series 3, i think?? Where Clark finds Lex's creepy room of clark kent related stuff. Ok, why did clark 'ending their friendship' make me cry??
*sigh*
Guess I'll have to go and find out what this episode is actually called and then find some fic to fix it....

Also, anyone know when the paper back version of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is out (in the UK), or if it is already? I'm hesitant to read my beautiful free and signed copy again for fear of getting it all dirty and stuff, and i cant afford another hardback version....

In other news, i did another exam today, just one left!!! *dances*

Tags:

So I have been away from not just lj, but the internet for a week or so now. Some may think this was because I was being good, and concentrating on my revision. But alas that is not the case, as I still have much revision to do (and an exam on Tuesday) and yet here I am back on lj and also, completely addicted to Rimau's Harry/Snape series No Hiding Place. Unfortunately for me it was because my internet has been down, and it is still intermitent, even though we've rung up their 50p/per/min helpline and had them do a line check and blah blah blah

Anyway... I was wondering if anyone had read or anything or seen or heard anything in any fandom recently that they think is vitally important, amazing, impressive or just that they really liked. Because I don't have time to traverse the last two weeks of my flist at the moment but I'd love to read something good in the odd hour or two when i can justify giving myself a break for revision.

In other news, how good was the Docotr Who two parter? I thought I'd be unbelievably irritated with the return of Martha, but I even had actual concern for her wellbeing at points :) And Donna just gets better and better *hugs her* The preview for The Doctors Daughter next week looks interesting, anyone have any idea what that's about? I heard the Doctor having a child was something to do with the 5th doctor, anyone know??
And I am completely ignoring the brief flash of Rose I saw, I'm hoping if I keep ignoring it, I can pretend it was imagination and nothing more, why do they have to build it up so much?? It's driving me insane, ok you're bringing her back just do it or shut up already!

Ok, that is all for now *wanders off to learn more about forms of power resistance*

Chapter Summary: It's Christmas Eve Eve, and Draco drags Harry out for a walk in the snow, which promptyl pushes the fact that Harry's supposed to be leaving for the Weasleys out of his mind.

( ----------> PART 12 <---------- )

“You too,” Harry said, trying to hide his amusement at Draco’s slightly intoxicated state and resist the ridiculous compulsion he suddenly had to ruffle Draco’s hair.

“Thank you,” Draco stated in a rather over the top and formal tone before a slightly less dignified pout defined his aristocratic features. “I’m bored, let’s go for a walk outside,” he said, grabbing Harry’s wrist and tugging.

“Okay, okay,” Harry laughed. “Let me get my cloak,” he said, ducking back inside and grabbing his outdoor cloak from its peg next to the door. When he returned to the doorway Draco had the bottle of wine to his lips and for a moment Harry watched the movement of his throat as he swallowed.

A drop of wine escape Draco’s mouth Harry stared at it for a moment, transfixed as it clung to the corner of his mouth before reaching out his hand and swiping it away with his thumb. His fingers making the barest of contact with Draco’s jaw.

Draco seemed to freeze on the spot.

“You had some wine there,” Harry explained, bringing his thumb to his mouth briefly to suck of the smear of wine on it. Draco’s eyes followed the movement

“Oh,” Draco said eventually.

“You’re welcome,” Harry said sardonically.

“Thanks,” Draco murmured before turning round and walking forwards. “Come on then,” he called over his shoulder.

“Wait,” Harry said, taking in Draco’s state of dress for the first time. He was only in his trousers and shirt sleeves, not even a robe. “I think you’re going to need a cloak, Draco. It’s cold out there, you know, it being December. Winter and all that.”

Draco turned round to face him with a small twist to the corner of his mouth that could be called a smile. “I could share yours,” he said, raising his eyebrows and stepping back into Harry’s personal space.

“I don’t think its big enough for the both of us,” Harry said, raising one eyebrow to meet Draco’s two.

“We’ll make do,” Draco said lowly, running his fingers along the open sides of the cloak in question, which Harry had shrugged on but had yet to fasten, before closing his fingers round the edges of the fabric and pulling gently. Harry automatically caught Draco’s forearms with his hands to balance himself.

“Um,” he said unintelligently, distracted by how piercing Draco’s grey orbs were from this close. Draco’s eyes glanced down momentarily and so did Harry’s, watching a small sad smile briefly tug at Draco’s lips.

“Let’s go and get my cloak then,” he said, retracting his hands and self abruptly and leading Harry the short way down the corridor to his quarters.

* * *

When Harry began to wonder if his feet were still attached to the end of his legs due to the fact that he could no longer feel them, he finally managed to drag Draco back inside.

“But it’s snowing,” Draco had protested, eyes drifting to a window as the trudged passed it, following the specks of snow as they fell.

“That’s a reason to come inside, not stay out,” Harry said, rolling his eyes and grabbing Draco’s wrist as he had now stopped to stare out of the window. “Come on,” he said with a sharp pull to get Draco in forward motion again.

“There’s no need to manhandle me, Potter,” Draco said once they were moving again, shaking his arm free from Harry’s grasp and gesturing with the icy wine bottle in the other.

“What is it with you and snow anyway?” Harry asked. “It’s not like you didn’t go to school here for seven years, there was no lack of snow then and I’m sure you get it at home occasionally.”

“Do you recall ever once seeing me outside in the snow for anything other than getting from one place to another?” Draco asked. “I wasn’t allowed to play in the snow as a child. I had a weak immune system and falling ill was out of the question. A Malfoy shouldn’t show any weaknesses,” he said with a wry smile.

“Oh,” Harry said. “Well, I tried to avoid going out if it snowed when I was younger. It usually meant having snow stuffed inside my clothes by my cousin whilst his friends held me in place. It was nice when I came to Hogwarts to be able to go out in the snow without the fear of having it stuffed down my pants.”

Draco snorted. “If I’d of known that when we were at school that fear would probably have been kept very much alive.”

“Jerk,” Harry said, shoving Draco in the arm. “We can go out again tomorrow if you want, if it’s still snowing,” Harry offered. Draco arched an eyebrow.

“One, I am perfectly capable of taking a walk outside in the snow without your eminent presence.”

Harry laughed. “And two?”

“Two, tomorrow is Christmas Eve Harry, you wont be here,” he added.

“Oh,” Harry responded, dumbfounded that a walk in the snow with Draco could result in him having forgotten he was spending the next day and a half at the Weasley’s. “Well-” he continued eventually but was interrupted by another voice.

“Harry!”

Harry froze where he stood, having just walked round the corner and into the corridor that led to both Draco and his quarters.

Standing outside his door was Ginny.

He shot a quick sideways look at Draco who seemed to be watching him carefully.

“Ginny,” he said, eventually finding his voice. “What are you doing here?” he asked with a frown as he continued walking down the corridor toward her, Draco half a step behind.

“You were supposed to be at The Burrow an hour ago,” she explained. “What were you doing?” she asked, looking at Draco with a curl to her lip and a spark of long buried hatred in her eye.

“We were walking in the snow Mrs. Potter,” Draco said with a smile. “Would you care for some wine?” he asked, brandishing the icy glass bottle in her direction. He looked at it with a frown and shook it slightly. “Of course we may have to wait for it to thaw a bit,” he added. Harry snorted.

“Sorry Ginny, we lost track of time,” Harry apologised. “I’m all packed though,” he added.

“Good, can we go then?” Ginny asked brusquely glancing at Draco.

“I guess that’s my cue to leave,” Draco said airily. “Good night Ginerva,” he said with a slightly unsteady bow. “Harry,” he said, a mischievous smirk pulling at his lips. Harry didn’t have enough time to unnerved by it though before an arm was flung round his neck and a loud and wet kiss was pressed to his brow. “Merry Christmas,” he grinned at Harry.

Harry rolled his eyes but couldn’t prevent a blush staining his cheeks. He quickly withdrew his wand, tapping it sharply against the frozen bottle Draco held and muttering a warming charm. “Have a good Christmas, Draco,” he smiled.

“Thanks,” Draco replied before sauntering down the corridor to his quarters without a backward glance. He took a swig of his wine as he entered his quarters, kicking the door shut behind him.

There was silence for a moment before Ginny spoke. “You’re friends with Draco Malfoy?” she asked.

“Yes I am,” Harry said, letting them into his quarters.

“That’s…. unexpected,” she concluded as Harry went to fetch his bags from the bedroom.

( On to part 11................ )

The last Hogsmeade visit of the year, which Harry had been dreading at the beginning of term due to his pairing as chaperone with Draco, had turned out to be much more fun than he’d anticipated.

After wandering round the shops for a while and picking up a few last minute presents for their children, Harry and Draco had ended up in The Three Broomsticks.

“Are you looking forward to the holidays then?” Draco asked with a knowing smile.

“It’ll be nice to see everyone again,” Harry answered.

“Diplomatic answer,” Draco said with a short laugh. “Very good.”

Harry ‘hmm’d’ into his drink before asking, “How about you?”

“Yes I am, thank you. It’ll be nice to see Astoria again, and to be able to spend some time with Scorpius. And my mother,” he added.

“How is she?” Harry asked, aware of Narcissa’s failing health from the few passing comments Draco had made.

“She tells me that she’s fine,” Draco said.

“But you don’t think she’s being completely honest?” Harry asked, detecting the doubt in Draco’s tone.

“No, I don’t,” he said quietly, keeping his gaze locked on his drink. Harry reached out and gripped Draco’s hand that was lying on the table top briefly.

“She just doesn’t want you to worry,” he said.

“Dad!”

Harry dropped Draco’s hand and withdrew his to hold his drink as James came running towards their table.

“Mum says you’re not going to be home for Christmas,” James jumped straight in, ignoring Draco’s presence completely.

Harry glanced at Draco quickly before refocusing his attention on his son. “I’ll be there Christmas Eve and morning,” he explained.

“What about lunch?” James demanded.

“I can’t be there for lunch, I need to be back at Hogwarts so Professor Malfoy can go and spend some time with his family,” Harry explained.

James frowned at Draco. “Why can’t he stay at school so you can be home longer?” James asked.

Draco cleared his throat, “I’ll just go and get another drink,” he said and excused himself from the table.

“James, Professor Malfoy kindly offered to give up some of his holiday so that I could spend some time with you at Christmas. You can’t just demand him to give up the rest of it for me,” he reprimanded gently.

“But it won’t be the same if we’re not all there. We haven’t seen mum in ages and you can’t even be bothered to spend two days with us,” James complained. Harry looked him in the eye for a moment and saw the genuine concern behind the petulant child routine.

“James, I would love to spend more time with you, and your brother and sister, but I can’t. This is my job for now, I can’t pick and choose between those duties I want to fulfil and those I don’t,” he explained.

“What about mum?” he asked. Harry winced, hoping his son would have glossed over the lack of mention of Ginny in his last statement. When Harry didn’t respond straight away James continued, “Uncle Ron told Hugo-”

“I don’t care what Uncle Ron told Hugo,” Harry said quickly. “I don’t want you listening to anything anyone else tells you about your own family. I, we, would tell you if there was something important you needed to know.” In his head he heard Draco’s comment from before repeat itself. Diplomatic answer. An answer of sorts, but not really saying anything at all.

“Do you still love mum?” James asked quietly, sliding round into a seat next to Harry instead of opposite him.

“Of course I do, I always will. But sometimes, sometimes one type of love can change to another. And just because you love someone doesn’t mean there aren’t going to be problems.” Harry watched as James absorbed the information and formulated his next question.

“Are there? Problems?” he asked eventually. Harry sighed and decided to embrace his Gryffindor bravery rather than his Slytherin cunning, and answer the question head on.

“Some,” Harry acquiesced. “Mainly to do with the distance and not being able to talk about things.”

“But you’re going to try and fix them though?” he asked hopefully.

“Of course I am,” Harry answered and watched as James sagged with relief. A nagging feeling of guilt in his stomach prompted him to add, “Not everything can be fixed though James, but I’m going to try. I am.”

With a quick but hard hug, James darted off to find his friends leaving Harry alone for a moment, watching his son disappear into the crowd.

A few minutes later Draco sat back down silently opposite Harry, pushing a fresh glass of fire-whiskey in his direction.

Ok, so revision has taken over my life. I cant watch the tv, read a book or listen to a song without relating it to attitude change, social influence, or theory of mind. I've actually just realised that I haven't left my house for two days and then it was only to go to work.... Tomorrow I'm going to uni to revise I think, or just walk round the corner and buy some red bull or something, anything to prevent me from going stir crazy!

Additionally my revision overloaded brain has just realised that due to the fact that I work until six on a saturday, I'm going to miss the new series of doctor who, like every week.... I dont have any tivo, sky plus or virgin active or anything and bbc iplayer doesnt work on my computer. Thus I'm going to have to result to good ol' VHS....

In my attempt to escape revision, or have something to reward myself with for drudging through my textbooks and notes, I've decided to read a HP fic and finally decided on Not in the Hands of Boys by

fourth_rose. I've wanted to read it for ages, but tend to avoid WIPs like the plague. But I delved into the first chapter and a half a little earlier and am already hooked :) It's Harry/Draco Post DH, EWE. And at the moment I'd recommend it, if anything disastrous happens as I read and I want to rescind my rec I'll be sure to let you know :)

Finally, I've decided that I'm going to finish my SGA McShep AU thats been sitting on my computer, gradually being built on whenever I notice it's still there,

( ----> so here's a sample from the first part <----- )

it doesn't contain any McShep, but we need some backstory and plot don't we? :)

Two Deathly Hallows movies?? I don't know whether to be worried or excited....

* * *

Unfortunately for Harry he had to spend most of lunch in the great Hall with the Weasley’s, trying to ignore the amused glances Draco kept sending him.

Harry couldn’t imagine what was so amusing, perhaps he wasn’t hiding the fact that he’d rather be anywhere else than where he was right now. If for no other reason than to begin his freak out in private.

Hermione was being irritatingly nice, purposefully and without any kind of subtlety driving the conversation away from any possible mention of Ginny. Even Ron seemed to be beginning to catch on because he was giving his wife the occasional odd look.

“So, are you going to be spending Christmas at the Burrow this year?” Hermione asked. Ron looked at her as if she was mad, most likely because Harry, Ginny and the children always spend the holidays in the Weasley family home.

“I assume so,” Harry said, sipping his water and completely ignoring the tension in the conversation.

“Exactly. Why wouldn’t they?” Ron said, taking a large bite of his sandwich.

“Aren’t you down for supervising some of he holidays, Harry?” Oliver asked him, obviously having been listening to the conversation. Draco sat next to him with his head resting in his hand, looking bored but attentive.

“Oh yeah,” Harry said suddenly remembered signing himself up to stay for the holidays, at a particularly low moment and thinking vindictively of Ginny’s face the entire time.

“Why would McGonagall ask you to do that?” Ron demanded, looking down the table at the headmistress. Oliver and Draco looked down at their plates in interest, having been there when Harry put his name down.

“I-”

“You’ll just have to get out of it,” Ron said simply.

“It’s not that easy Ron, the rest of the staff will likely have plans too, I can’t just ask them to drop them for me,” Harry said. Hermione looked at him with a raised eyebrow, Harry realised he hadn’t sounded as if he was particularly bothered.

“I can cover Christmas Eve and morning for you if you want,” Draco said from down the table. Harry looked at him behind Oliver with a raised eyebrow. “My better half is spending Christmas Eve with her parents, she won’t be back until Christmas morning,” he explained.

“Are you sure?” Draco smiled at him and nodded. “Thanks Draco,” Harry returned the smile and turned back to Ron and Hermione. “Problem solved.”

“But Harry, that’s hardly any time at all,” Ron protested.

“It’s better than nothing,” Harry said with a tone of finality which successfully ended the conversation.

* * *

Later that evening, Harry sat in the staff room ploughing through some third year essays on the differences between Muggle and Wizarding home entertainment. Most of the muggleborns having referred to Wizarding forms of entertainment as boring, with heavy references to their favourite television programmes and video games. Whilst those from magical homes described strange boxes which melted Muggle’s brains.

One daring young student had gone on to explore the idea that this was perhaps what prevented them from developing magical abilities, and that muggleborns were products of homes without televisions or other forms of electrical entertainment. Harry snorted as he finished reading the conclusion.

“Find something amusing?” Draco asked as he dropped down into the seat next to Harry and put his own pile of marking onto the tabletop. Harry slid the essay over to Draco and watched as he read the part Harry had indicated. “Well, it’s and interesting theory,” Draco said once he’d finished. Harry laughed.

“Very interesting,” Harry said sardonically. Draco smiled.

“It shows good analytical skills if nothing else,” Draco shrugged and turned toward his own marking.

“I was thinking about writing to Ginny,” Harry said suddenly, surprising even himself. Draco looked up, eyebrows nearing his hairline.

“Really?” he drawled, drawing the word out to three syllables.

“Hmm,” Harry nodded, tapping his fingers on the table top in thought.

“Regarding?” Draco asked, putting his quill back down and diverting his whole attention to Harry.

“Ask her what her plans are for the holiday. To warn her about mine,” he added.

“That’s a good idea,” Draco agreed.

“Yeah,” Harry said, holding his gaze for a moment before looking away. Eventually he worked up the question he’d been wanting to ask Draco since term started. “How does it work?” he asked.

“How does what work?” Draco asked curiously.

Harry laughed humorously. “Marriage?” he asked, Draco smiled slightly.

“In general?”

“No, your, your marriage. I mean, you’re obviously not together in the traditional sense,” he said hesitantly.

“No, I suppose not,” Draco responded contemplatively. “We get on quite well, but it was all arranged. Even if my mother thought she hid that fact well at the time. I had to get married and Astoria and I got on well enough.”

“You don’t love her then?” Harry asked.

“As a friend or in a familial way, certainly. But I’m not in love with her, if that’s what you mean. I do love her though,” he explained.

“So you love her, but platonically?” Harry asked.

“Basically. How could I not when she’s the mother of my child?” Draco asked with a fond smile which threw Harry for a moment. Draco didn’t often speak of his son, not when Harry was around at least.

“I’ve always felt that way about Ginny,” he said honestly, waiting for Draco to comment, but he just looked on waiting for Harry to continue. “I think,” he paused and took a moment to glance around the staff room and note that it was thankfully empty apart from him and Draco. “I think I got confused. Teenage hormones and all that, she obviously wanted to go out with me and I just wanted, well, anyone really.

“Hermione and Ron had each other. I mean I was sixteen years old with the weight of the world on my shoulders. I wanted someone of my own, just for a little while at least. And then it was over and she just…. I mean they all…” he trailed off. It sounded awful like this.

“Harry,” Draco said softly, laying a hand on his arm. “Don’t feel guilty about how you feel. It is how you act on it that you need to take responsibility for.” Harry looked up from the hand to Draco’s eyes. Oh that comment could mean so many things, Harry thought despairingly.

“Thanks Draco,” Harry said eventually. Gently pulling his arm away and stacking up his marking into a pile, making a show of disguising the fact he was running away.

“Anytime,” Draco said as he stood up. Harry smiled briefly before walking out of the staff room as fast as he could without it being obvious.

He felt Draco’s eyes follow him out. Feeling their absence even more afterward.

A/N: I can't believe it's been so long since I worked on this! RL overwhelmed me I guess, I don';t think I was prepared for how difficult year two would be compared with first year. Sorry to anyone who was reading and thank you for anyone who's come back! Resultingly, this part is relatively short, but I just needed to get going again. Hopefully i'll managed to update soon.
