After Christmas break Harry still had to figure out a way to get Slughorns memory to help Dumbledore. After many months of trying he finally decided to use the luck potion hoping it would help him.

Once he drank the potion he announced to his two best friends thst he was going to Hagrid's. Hermione tried to get him back in track but Harry insisted.

On the way he found Slughorn and convinced him to go with him to Hagrid's. Slughorn got some venom out of the giant dead spider that day before the burial. Shortly after the two adults and Harry went inside Hagrid's shack to drink.

Harry watched them as they got drunk and in the mist of talking to slughorn he finally got the memory he wanted. He was walking back to the gryffindor common room when he bumped into his boyfriend. Something came over Harry as he pulled Blaise into a heated kiss in that empty hallway. Blaise placed his hands in his hips and parted from the kiss. "Harry, Granger told me you drank the potion. Let's not do this whilst you're under the effect of that potion."

Harry pouted cutely. Blaise chuckled, "no no. You even taste a bit of alcohol Harry, no." Blaise took his hand and walked him to the gryffindor common room.

Harry didn't let go of Blaise's hand even when they got there, "at least let's cuddle." Harry quickly went up to get his potions book and went back down with Blaise.

Blaise reluctantly accepted and sat down on the couch with Harry on his lap. Today no one was staring, everyone was minding their own business, probably still because of the potion but he couldn't complain.

Blaise looked over Harry's shoulder, "Don't use that spell."

Harry looked up at him, "Hermione already warned me, don't worry."

Blaise hummed, "that book looks very sketchy, just be careful alright?"

Harry closed the book and placed a gentle hand on his boyfriend's cheek, "you have nothing to worry about."

Blaise chuckled placing his hand om top of Harry's, "Harry Potter has anyone told you how amazing you are? Not just chosen one amazing but just in general. You have an amazing heart and you help people and do all sorts of things. You're brilliant and very very handsome and every time I look at you you just manage to take my breath away."

Harry's eyes sparkled at his words and his heart fluttered. This was what it felt like to be wanted by someone romantically. He felt like he belonged to be here with Blaise, all he wanted was for the war to be over and for them to be able to just be together.

Blaise leaned in forehead against Harry's, "I love you."

Harry pulled him in for a loving kiss, "I love you too."

That night was the last great day Harry would have. After giving the memory to Dumbledore they made a plan to find horocruxes.

When they left one day to find one Dumbledore almost died from drinking the liquid he had to drink in order to get it. Luckily he didn't but once they came back to Hogwarts Harry was ordered to hide.

He watched in the shadows as Draco disarmed Dumbledore, tears were rolling down his pale face saying he didn't want to kill him. Harry immediately recognized that he was under imperious curse but was continously fighting back.

Suddenly Snape came from the shadows as Draco fell to the ground unconscious and he himself killed Dumbledore. Harry came out from the shadows screaming but a death eater casted a cruciatus curse on him. Harry fell to the ground in pain. He tried using the spell everyone warned him against but Snape was quick to defend himself and proceeded to reveal he was the half-blood prince.

They left Harry weak in the floor as the death eaters began storming Hogwarts. Harry used all of his strength to stand up and go check quickly on Draco. Draco weakly smiled, "m fine, just go."

Harry nodded promising to send someone up to help him.

After a long time all of the death eaters were gone. Harry was finally hit again with the pain he ignored die to the adrenaline. He was about to fall when Blaise caught him in his arms. Blaise felt furious looking at what had happened to his boyfriend. Harry gave him a reassuring smile as he used him as support, "How's Draco?"

Blaise kissed his nose, "he's in the hospital wing and now you're going there to make sure you're alright."

Harry shook his head, "I'm fine Blaise. Let them take care of others first."

Blaise picked him up, "not going to happen, you're going to get checked. If not I'll tell Granger you didn't want to go."

Harry groaned accepting his defeat and letting himself be carried. He was very proud of himself, even in his weak state voldemort couldn't see into his head.

After Dumbledore's funeral Harry went to sit alone in the astronomy tower to think. He was going to have to adventure out there and find horocruxes.

"Harry, you alright mate?" Ron asked. Him and Hermione decided to go up and check on their friend.

Harry nodded as they sat down next to him. "Just thinking."

"about?" Hermione asked.

Harry let out a sigh, "I'm going to have to go away for a while. Look for horocruxes."

Ron patted his shoulder, "you mean we because neither one of us is letting you do this alone."

Harry tried to protest but his friends insisted on not leaving him alone to do something so dangerous.

They talked for an hour or so until Hermione and Ron decided to go eat something. Harry declined their offer to go down to the great Hall to eat with them. He wanted to stay up there for a little longer.

Not long after Ron and Hermione were gone Blaise cam up with a treacle tart. "I brought you your favourite."

Harry quietly thanked him for the tart and they ate it together. Blaise leaned in and kissed his cheek, "tell me what's bothering you."

Harry felt tears prick his eyes, "the war is only going to get worse." Blaise opened his arms for Harry and he accepted the embrace. "I can't come back next year and if you stay with me then you're going to be in danger. I think we should break up and that way you'd be safe."

Blaise wiped the tears away from Harry's eyes, "hey, it's going to be alright. We're going to be fine. I love you. Please don't break up with me for thst stupid reason, you're the reason I would fight for. Please."

Harry buried his face in the other's neck letting tears fall again. "what if they find out and torture you?"

Blaise held him tighter, "they won't, please let's just stay together. I well be careful. Besides slytherins love me and would keep me, their comfort person, safe."

Harry chuckled at that and pulled Blaise into a loving soft kiss. It was salty from both of their tears but it was filled with love for each other. "Please be careful Blaise. Please. I can't lose you too."

Blaise nodded closing his eyes and letting his forehand rest against Harry's. It wasn't going to be easy but they had to keep on fighting for a hopeful future. "Can I sleep with you tonight?" Harry asked softly.

"of course you can."

They walked all the way down to the slytherin common rooms and cuddled on the bed. Harry felt that he was being too clingy but Blaise reassured him that he wasn't and that it was totally normal to need each other in times like these.

Blaise ran his fingers through Harry's messy hair, "can I ask you a question?"

Harry smiled, "you already did." Blaise rolled his eyes playfully making Harry giggle. "you can ask me anything."

"the first fight we had at the beginning of the year, why did it upset you so much? You don't have to answer if you don't want to, I was just wondering."

Harry let out a big sigh, "back home I can't eat as much or I'll get punished. It's stupid thst I'm the one that cooks most meals but can't eat what I need to eat. And sure I'm rich but I can't just go out everyday whenever I need to eat."

Blaise frowned, "when all of this is over, I promise I'll learn how to cook and I will cook you something amazing. Just for you."

"you don't have to do all of that Blaise."

Bslsie shook his head smiling, "after all of this I promise you'll only be treated good. Like the prince you are."

Harry smiled kissing his jaw, "I will be more than happy if we just get to cuddle but all of that sounds really nice."

Blaise placed a blanket over them, he promised himself that he would fight to be with Harry and to always keep him happy. He was going to fight to see his bright smile and to hear his lovely laugh and soft voice.
