Chapter Text
Harry swiftly but poorly tied his canary yellow and ebony black tie around his neck as he let a huge yawn escape his lips. After the final battle with Voldemort the school of Hogwarts was reopened and the young adult Hufflepuff finally had time to enjoy his final year at the wizarding school. Not to mention Harry was finally able to make his two-year relationship with a certain quick tongued Slytherin public knowledge. All in all, the dark-haired Hufflepuff was finally able to relax and really get to know what it feels like to have a normal school year. Brushing his fingers through his thick curly tresses, Harry watched his dark hair fall messily in his mirror. Emerald green eyes rolled in annoyance at his always stubborn hair before moving to grab his dandelion yellow jumper with black stripes slicing down its middle in a diagonal downfall. A quick glance to the ancient clock showed that Harry only had ten minutes to make it to his first period.
"Fuck me," Harry groaned out in frustration as he raked a hand roughly through his tangled hair. Jogging while slipping on his jumper, Harry grabbed his wand and schoolbooks before zooming out of the Hufflepuff dorms. Draco was so going to kill him. Daily breakfast together was one of the relaxing things they got to do together before they were sent off to their different hectic schedules. The dorm room door slammed shut harshly and Harry grimaced at the cold chill on the harvest breeze as he takes off frantically running down the cramped hallway. Dodging left and right as if to swerve out of the heavy foot traffic the dark-haired Hufflepuff reserved multiple glares and snide comments. Ignoring them Harry surged through the corridor trying best to keep his emerald gaze on the tiled floor. Turning the corner on the hallway sharply Harry collided with a mountain of body sending the small Hufflepuff flying backwards and knocking his books and wand out of his hands. Landing roughly a slight whimper escaped Harry's mouth as he squeezed his eyes shut tight as baritone pitched man cursed above him.
"What the fuck Hufflepuff!" The ashen blond male complained as he cast his azure gaze down on the smaller Hufflepuff. Emerald eyes widened in shock at the comment as Harry scrambled to pick up his scattered notebooks. While reaching for his last notebook a shoe clamped down over it and the dark-haired Hufflepuff puffed out his lips in pout despite the blush rushing to his face. "Not even gonna apologize you prat?" The Ravenclaw huffed out and his two Ravenclaw lackies barked out giggles.
"It was an accident." Harry mumbled out quietly moving to sit up on his knees to set a soft glare on the unnamed Ravenclaw. A sneer was sent down to the dark-haired Hufflepuff. A deeper blush dug its way into Harry's cheekbones as the dirty blond haired wizard quirked up his right eyebrow in challenge.
"Did you say something?" The Ravenclaw grunted out as his friend to his left just now seemed to notice who the clumsy Hufflepuff was.
"Thomas," the ginger spoke quickly, and Harry couldn't help but to notice how the boy's light brown eyes widened in worry. The ashen blonde presumably Thomas continued to ignore his shorter friend but a quick jab to his side got his attention.
"What the bloody hell is it Henry?" Thomas groaned out turning his incredulous gaze on who Harry assumed was Henry. Thomas looked slightly taken aback by the panic-stricken expression on the ginger's head.
"That's Harry Potter." Henry stammered out and kept shifting his light brown hued gaze between his friends and the still kneeling Harry.
"So?" Thomas quipped back obviously not wanting to give the boy who lived any special treatment. The ebony haired man on the opposite side of Thomas went rigid and Harry could see his hazel eyes darting back in forth between his friends incredulously.
"He could easily beat our arses." Henry choked out obviously get more and more uncomfortable with this situation.
"Like some Hufflepuff could." Harry pursed his lips out in another pout as Thomas spoke ill about himself. Harry really wished he could be in his classroom learning about potions right now and not stuck in the middle of the hallway with these three knobheads.
"He's Malfoy's boy Thomas." The dark-haired Ravenclaw called out grabbing both of his friend's attentions easily. Thomas looked slightly worried but brushed it off as he rolled his azure hued eyes amusement. Harry perked up at the mention of his longtime boyfriend and placed his own green hued gaze on Thomas.
"Well Malfoy isn't here right now. Besides he is kinda cute maybe we should tease him a little more." Thomas spoke and that was the last straw for Harry. The dark-haired Hufflepuff yanked on his notebook as hard as he could causing his notebook to come flying towards him. Grabbing it hastily, Harry pushed himself onto his feet and watched as Thomas had to catch his balance.
"I'm right here you know." Harry grumbled out moving to sidestep around the Thomas and past Henry. "Now if you don't excuse me," the dark-haired Hufflepuff spoke up when he walked in between them only to be stopped by a rough hand on his hip pushing him back into the wall. Thomas boxed the smaller boy in with his free hand landing on the right side of Harry's face. Nausea rolled over Harry instantly as he tried to move away from the wall but Thomas's hand on his hip pushed him back into place.
"I didn't say we were done here cutie." Thomas chuckled out moving his face so closer to Harry's. Their noses brushed together, and Harry squirmed harder and harder trying to get away from the Ravenclaw. "Now little one," Thomas cooed gripping onto Harry’s hip with a bruising force. Harry whimpered out in pain and watched as the other two seemingly backed away to let someone by them. "Why don't you show us how our mighty hero cries out for Malfoy?" Thomas teased his question out but was caught off guard by a pale hand gripping his shoulder in warning. Emerald hued eyes found grey ones as silvery-blond tresses glinted in the hallway light. Harry recognized that gaze anywhere; Draco stood behind his captor obviously annoyed with the sight he found once turning the corner.
"There you are love." Draco's deep pitched voice spoke only to his boyfriend and grey eyes sharpened in annoyance when he saw the hand on Harry's hip. "You weren't at breakfast, so I came to make sure you were fine." Draco spoke sweetly to Harry but the small Hufflepuff could see the restraint clear in his every narrowing grey gaze. "But I see something came up." The Slytherin's tone was heavy with the promise of an attack as he tightened his grip on Thomas's shoulder.
"M-malfoy we were just playing around is all." Thomas spoke dropping his hand from Harry's hip and the smaller Hufflepuff bit back a sigh of relief from the pressure now being gone. Draco's bone-dry laugh sent shivers down everyone's spines but Harry who held no fear for how his boyfriend was acting. Harry knew if this wasn't going to end in a fight then Thomas really needed to let him go from this wall.
"Now see here Ravenclaw," Draco called reaching with his free hand to grab Harry's. The smaller Hufflepuff quickly moved his hand to find the Slytherin's larger one and tried his best not to sigh in relief when Draco pulled him from wall and behind his muscular back. Harry stared intently at Draco's silvery-blond hair and tried his best not to feel extremely fearful in this situation. "That's your first mistake." Draco spoke tightening his grip on Harry's hand tenderly. The dark-haired Hufflepuff gave his boyfriend's hand a loving squeeze and out of the corner of his eye he saw the other two Ravenclaws scamper off. "No one gets to play with what's mine. So why don't you shove off before you really get hurt?" The silvery-blond Slytherin spoke his voice so heavy with anger that Thomas had no choice but to stumble around Draco and Harry.
"S-sorry." Thomas squeaked out and tried his best to sound polite as he ran off to his first period.
"Are you okay?" Draco asked turning around and glared at Thomas's retreating figure while still being concerned for his boyfriend.
"My hip might bruise but I'm fine." Harry spoke moving to collapse into the taller Slytherin's chest with a sigh or relief. Harry took in greedy breaths of Draco's cologne enjoying the woodsy-mint scent. Strong arms wrapped around the Hufflepuff's back and Draco pressed his chin on top of Harry's head.
"Why would it bruise?" Draco mumbled as Harry wrapped his own arms around Draco's waist happily.
"Just that Ravenclaw's grip." Draco tensed harshly and pulled his boyfriend back to lock their gazes.
"His handprint is going to be bruised on my boyfriend?" Draco hissed out his question moving to lift up Harry's shirt to look at his hip. Grey eyes found a reddened handprint darkening by the second on Harry's lean hip. Draco tried to place his hand on the forming bruise to have it match up, but his hand was too large. Harry gulped down his worry and lifted his gaze to lock his Draco's grey one and noticed how his eyes darkened in lust and possessiveness.
"Draco?" Harry asked not really knowing how to respond to his overprotective boyfriend was reacting. A harsh glare was set on him and Draco moved to pick up the books Harry had dropped when he was slammed into the wall. After grabbing the books, he intertwined their fingers and took off at brisk pace pulling the smaller Hufflepuff down the hallway. "Babe?" Harry called trying to get his boyfriend to listen to him as they turned down another hallway. "Where are we going?" The small Hufflepuff asked and felt his own excitement deepen the pit in his stomach.
"Astronomy Tower." Draco huffed out and Harry knew instantly how he was going to spend his morning.
