Sorry for leaving a weeks gap before I updated, I didn't want my mental state to affect this story and I'll try not to let it do so.

Draco's pov

Walking in, and seeing the calm on Dumbledore's face, I'm in a state of disbelief. He can't possible be delusional enough to think that he is going to get away from my wrath?

"He's not doing it, no"
"Mister Malfoy, I've discussed this with your friend over here and we have decided that it is best to follow through with the goblets order"
" I don't give a flying hoot what anyone said, who in Merlin's world do you think you are? Trying to force my boyfriend, who is legally a minor, into doing an activity that so clearly has an age restriction that he does not meet!!"

I calm down as I feel Harry come up beside me and slither his arm around me, I would never admit it- but I love it when he just holds me. I feel so safe and happy when in his arms. As infuriating as it is, he manages to calm me down and settle the storm inside my head.

Turning my attention back to Dumbledore, I see him warily acknowledging Harry behind me, silently thanking him. Harry starts to speak up and I look up at him, taking in his scrunched eyebrows and his lips which are tinted pink from him biting them. I realise what this whole situation is doing to him, the toll it's taking on him. And I'm certainly not helping his case by reacting as such. I must calm down, for him. As he looks back down at me, I realise his next words are directed towards me."

"Draco.. Dumbledore and I came to an agreement, that we must obide the goblets rules- no matter how it ends"
"May I remind you Harry babe that one of these 'rules' states that a minor cannot place their name in, therefore withholding them from partaking!!"
" I-"
" Enough, as endearing as it is, Malfoy, your worry for Mr Potter here is simply unnecessary for I am sure that he can fight for himself. Or are you doubting your 'boyfriend's' skills?"
"As endearing as your confidence in my boyfriend's skill level is, may I remind you that he is going up against upper years- while he has not even been here long enough for us to be learning practical and useful spells that would help against life endangering activities as such?"

Silence reigns through the room as my magic surrounds me, giving a manic touch to my appearance. My shoulders are rolled back and my head is held high, I've won this argument. And whatever this man says to contradict my words, will simply be contradicted back. What I don't expect though, is for Dumbledore to be ignorant and outright stubborn.

"Mr Malfoy, he's doing it. That is the end of this discussion, please feel free to grab yourself a lemon drop on your way out from the bowl situated at the door. Thank you."

I turn, tears flooding my eyes. I promised that I would try my hardest, and I have, but if Dumbledore is going to be stubborn and unreasonable then there is really no point in arguing about it any further. Anyone with a mind and a slice of common sense would see that I am in the right, but one cannot simply expect too much of people. For, you don't ask an idiot why he's an idiot- because it makes you the idiot.

Harry's pov

I can see the tears in his eyes, and I slowly take him by the shoulders and guide him out- shooting a disapproving glance at Dumbledore. I knew that Draco would not want me to talk while he is arguing against him as he would think I'm giving up on us. I can't believe how utterly insensitive I was about it earlier. How could I expect my sweet angel to accept the fact that I'm possible putting my life on the line like that?

I will try my hardest in this challenge, but if it was a choice between my safety or Draco's- I would choose his safety over mine without the blink of an eye. I just don't understand how I got so lucky, to win the heart of the sweetest and most perfect angel out there.

I lead him to the slytherin dungeons, for I know that sleep is the best option here for him. He can sleep on this situation and hopefully he would be less angry. When I looked down at him just to see his bright eyes staring up at me with adoration and dare I say it-love, my heart was fit to burst. Oh, the love I have for him..
