The last task was told to the champions. A maze that had been planted by Sprout and Hagrid in the same place that once held dragons and flat ground for Quiditch. They had watched silently as they were told, watching as Hagrid swatted at a vine that tried to take a watering can for itself.

Harry felt it was probably the least bit worrisome. But considering there would be more then the bushes that were taller then Hagrid, but other obstacles hidden with it. He had a bit of anxiety with the last task, but he felt he would be somewhat okay even with the ball of dread heavy in his stomach.

So he went and trained harder and studied more. His classes passed easily and he passed his classes like it was nothing. He might as well study for them as he studied to survive the rest of the year.

Hermione helped as she wasn't one to not do so while they studied.

Right now it was just the two of them in the Library, deep into the musty smelling space of thousands of pages. They hadn't seen another soul for what felt like ages. They were that deep in the grand library. They were sure the librarian wouldn't be able to shush them from where they were, out of her sight.

Then the twins appeared and made a sound of accomplishment as they came towards them, having finally found who they were looking for. Grinning when Harry found them heading his way making the boy blush but smile back happy to see them. Hermione raised a brow at them and immediately went back to her books. Biting her lip all the while from a smile at seeing Harry get excited.

"Harrykins, we have a request." Fred spoke as he leaned over the table to them. Ignoring the piling books and Hermiones disturbed reading. His hands landing on the papers they had barely finished for class.

Harry raised a brow. "A what?" He shifted in his seat as he lowered the book he had been reading to look at them more properly.

"A request, you do know what that means yes?" George asks cheekily. Winking at Hermione when she rolled her eyes at him.

Rolling his own eyes he smiled. "Yes, I do, what's the request you two want from me? The magnificent champion of Hogwarts?" He asked snobbishly, getting a snort from Hermione before she decided to stick her nose closer to the book.

Grinning they pulled a paper out and gave it to him. "Tonight, you and Draco, come here. Of course do try not to get caught. Okay?" George advised and then the twins were leaving before Harry could ask exactly what they were doing.

"I think it's them that don't know what a request is." Hermione giggled.

"Right?" Harry laughs, before looking at the paper, then putting it in his pocket and going back to his own books.

"Why are we sneaking out?" Draco asked as they hid behind a corner as they watched Snape turn another before they were quickly running towards their destination. Both silent with spells and notice me not ones as well.

"Because," he turns and points at them in turn. "-we are off to have some fun. The twins requested both of us." Harry shushed the boy before pulling him quickly outside and down towards the forbidden forest.

"Why both of us?" Draco asks with a frown. He had talked to them only a few times, enough to count them off on one hand since the encounter in the empty classroom.

Harry shrugs, as they come up to the two figures they recognize as the Weasley Twins. He waved and they beckoned them towards them. They ran to them the last bit of the way. Harry getting excited, wondering what they'd be doing.

"Both of you know how to fly, yes?" Fred whispered as he pulled them deeper into the forest so they wouldn't be seen even if they were in the cover of darkness.

They both nodded, each entirely with a different emotion plastered on their face. Harry was excited and Draco seemed to be unamused wanting them to get on with whatever they had planned. Or at least tell them.

"Good, wanna fly then?" They asked as they brought out some brooms, definitely taken from Professor Hooch's closet for the flying brooms.

Harry quickly took one. "Yes."

George laughs before handing one to Draco, giving him a smirk. The younger blushed and quickly takes it while he looks away flustered.

They mount and start to rise. "Follow us okay?" Fred spoke as they climbed higher in the air. The sight of Hogwarts a sight to see, it was dark but lit in some of the windows. The light of when the moon was able to pass through the clouds giving a sharper silhouette.

Harry wondered what they were gonna do, besides flying-then they were passing through the clouds that had been covering the sky for quite some time and found themselves looking at a sea of stars. Harry's breath came short in his throat. Draco to, was surprised and awed. The both floating beside each other easily. Fred and George came to either side of Harry and Draco. Fred near Harry and George watching Draco with a smile from his side.

"Alright...." Fred started then touched Harry and zoomed off. "Tag!!" He spoke.

Draco and Harry blinked in surprise. As George too went off a bit away from Harry. Draco was then zooming after Harry when he tagged him.

And so a game of tag began in the sky late at night, where no one could hear the laughter that had erupted.

Harry felt relaxed for the first time in awhile. Ever since his name was called. He smiled, watching the twins give jabs at a red and bothered Draco Malfoy. He snickered under his breath. They were still in the air, casually talking but worn out from the bout of fun they had. His green eyes as dark as a forest in that moment caught the blue of Fred's, the twin was a bit away from the now arguing George and Draco. More like teasing and annoyance.

The smile that lit up anyways towards him made him feel warm. And happy. He was happy. He laughed then, true and pure making the rest stare at him with different variations of bewilderment.

"Thank you..." Harry finally said as he smiled at them, his heart felt painfully full.

"Any time Harry." The twins synced.

Fred slid up to Harry's side making his twin confused as this wasn't part of the plan-kissing Harry that is. Fred had pulled Harry's head close to his carefully while leaning himself and carefully slid his own lips against soft velvety ones-if not slightly dry. Even still-it was perfect in Harry's mind. He was a-okay with the development. He hummed and gave a little toward Fred. Both enjoying the warm sparks that exploded down their stomachs and spines.

"Well that wasn't planned. But I do enjoy surprises." George snickered as he gave a smirk to Draco. "How bout it silver star?"

Draco-blushing absolutely madly-with whatever he felt. He wasn't sure. It was really confusing for him. But he knew he didn't dislike it as much as he would have weeks prior to meeting-officially meeting the twins. "Wha-" then there was his lips being taken by a pair he hadn't expected at all. A small gasp barely registering to his numb ears.

George had given him a kiss-was what he could register when he could breath again. Making a squeak like sound once released as he tried to form words.

"So...what does this all mean?" Harry asked the good questions Draco thought as he to wondered what it meant.

The twins looked at each other then shrugged. "Not sure-we just know it's kinda hard to figure out-other then this indescribable feeling in our gut to just go with it. We like you Harry-love you really. You've become quite the piece that fits into ours-and slowly Draco is becoming one to. Not painfully see-like a new tooth growing in after loosing one of your baby ones-"

"If that makes any sense-" George laughed while Fred smiled and rolled his eyes.

"We just like both of you in simple terms. Maybe later it will be more known as to why-but fate is a strange thing." Fred smiles at the two younger boys, both their cheeks red not from the chilly air. But from the earlier activity still clear in their minds.

Laughing a bit George sat straighter. "For now, let's keep it simple. We leave this year-and we would like to claim you both as ours. But that's up to you two. Your allowed to think about it and give us answers later? Alright Harry? No need to get freaked out okay?" George spoke as he glided over to lift a now pouting boys face to look into his green eyes.

Harry blushed a darker shade of red, and since he couldn't nod, he responded. "Okay."

"Good boy." He was then lightly given a small kiss that still took both their breaths away.

Fred this time laughed. "I think we should head back in. It's getting colder and we all have classes."

The three pouted as Fred rolled his eyes. But they complied.

On the ground again, their legs felt like jelly as they stretched to get them ready for solid uneven ground. The twins announced that they had to bring the brooms back, and Fred kissed Draco quickly this time causing the boy another heart attack as again-and just like his twin-surprised the boy. Harry giggled at him again.

They separated ways once inside and shoved in warmth the two Slytherin boys walked softly back to their dorm.

"It was nice...right?" Harry spoke biting his lip with a smile so big, he was sure his cheeks would be sore in the morning.

Draco paused. Thought over it again-for the millionth time actually. His blush went as bright as red could go without light being produced. "It was, surprisingly."

They stopped inside the common room. Both shifting in place before Draco sighed and went over to Harry and snapped their heads to look at each other. Heart beats increasing as they looked at how deep the color of their eyes went. To what flecks of other colors hid within-to the very soul. Harry gulped a bit before moving forward and meeting Draco's on lips. They met softly-no practice between the two to be anything but touching lips to lips, but still they pressed forward and breathed each other in.

"Oh Merlin." Draco breathed along Harry's lips when they parted, his hands having pulled Harry close. Staying on the waist of his-feeling him breath under his fingertips.

"Yeah....yea..." Harry laughs softly before closing his eyes and letting their forheads touch. "This has been the best day."

"Yeah..." Was all Draco was able to stutter out as their night slowly ended.

Percy was in his room when Severus came in. Petting the egg softly even while the man walked in. Surprised at seeing the man after so long of ignoring and avoiding him. With still no idea as to why.

They just stared at each other. The silence made Percy's ears ring. He smiled at Severus and that seemed to make the man go into action instead of standing in his entrance awkwardly.

Severus took a few step forwards to sit on the couch and sighed.

Blinking Percy just stood at his window before he shrugged and let him be, he obviously had something on his mind and he wasn't going to push. He glanced and tried to ignore his own feelings.

He had started to find himself following Snape with his eyes and wanting to talk to him more and more as they became friends-and the more it strengthens, the more he worried, because not only did he not know if Snape liked him-but he knew the man had a mate-one for life. In the name of Harry's biological father Tom Riddle, aka Voldermort. Or like he and Harry like to call him Darth Vader.

Looking away he crushed the blooming feelings once more and went to reading his book ignoring the slight heavy air between the two of them.
