Trigger Warning: Mention of abuse

Harry's P.O.V

Draco and I moved into our new apartment shortly after the trial. We received tons of furniture from Draco's mother to complete our household. Ron and Hermione bought us kitchen essentials. And from Sirius we received toiletries. Draco and I were settled on our new couch discussing future jobs.

"I guess I can work at the restaurant down the street as a waiter or something." He suggested and I shrugged.

"We can search online and see what jobs are available." I suggested and he nodded.

"That's a good idea." He said and got up to get his laptop from our bedroom. I sighed as I put my head back on the back of the couch. My phone started ringing on my pocket so I pulled it out.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Ah Mister Potter just the person I wanted to talk to." The lady voice said.

"Ah you're the defense attorney from the trial." I said.

"Yes that's me. We just found out how much time Blaise is getting in jail."

"Oh alright." I said. "How much time?"

"He will be serving a ten year sentence alongside Mr. Diggory." She told me.

"Don't rapists usually get at least twenty five years?" I asked.

"Usually but he confessed after a plea bargain was put into place. He will serve that amount of time and be registered as a sex offender." She said and Draco walked back into the room. He noticed I was on the phone and slowly made his way to me and sat down quietly.

"Alright well that's reassuring to hear. Thank you so much for everything. Really I appreciate it."

"Of course Mister Potter, I hope all is well. Take care of yourself." She said and I smiled.

"You too, Bye." I said and we hung up. I looked at Draco who was giving me a crooked look.

"Who was that angel?" He asked and I smiled. I took his hand in mine.

"It was the defense attorney. She called to tell me that Blaise and Cedric are serving ten year sentences." I said with a slight smile. His eyes flickered happiness.

"Really?" He asked and I nodded.

"Really!" I said and he smiled pulling me into a kiss. It was full of passion and happiness so when we pulled away we were smiling.

"We need to celebrate!" He said. "Let me take you out to dinner." He said and I smiled.

"Alright sure." I said. He smiled and pulled me on to his lap where I snuggled into his chest.

"Let's look at jobs." He said and pulled his laptop on top of us. He searched places hiring near us. We looked through a few before one caught my eye.

"Draco, click on this one." I pointed to it.

"Abuse Rehab Center." He said out loud. "You want to work at a rehab?" He asked.

"Let me read the description." I said so he clicked on the link. It was a rehab for teens that dealt with abuse of any kind. Sexual, physical, and emotional. It also dealt with kids that turned to drugs or drinking that was a link to the abuse. As I read the job description I learned that I would be mentoring the teens that have gone through the tough times. Sort of like a counselor but without the credentials. "I want to put in an application." I said.

"Are you sure? I'm not so sure I want-"

"Draco I am one of these children. They're just like me so it wouldn't make a difference." I said and he sighed.

"I guess you're right, how much does it pay?" He asked and I looked.

"Around ten dollars an hour, it says it's high risk." I said and his eyes widened.

"Harry-"

"Shush." I cut him off and took the laptop from him. I put in my information and then sent the application. I turned to him and he was frowning but I kissed him. "Don't worry dragon, I'll be okay." I said and he nodded.

"Alright." He pecked my lips. "My turn." He said. He scrolled through the jobs and none jumped out at him. "I'm sorry Harry."
"Don't be sorry puppy." I said and kissed him gently. "We can look again later. You can do a few shows in the time being like open mic nights. I trust you Draco, we'll be fine." I assured and he smiled.

"I love you Harry."

"And I love you Draco." I said. "Now let's get ready to celebrate." I said. He smiled and closed his laptop. We walked into our room and he turned to me.

"I'm gonna shower, wanna join?" He asked wiggling his eye brows and I laughed.

"Not today but by all means enjoy yourself." I winked causing him to blush. He pecked my lips before whispering.

"Oh I will." I smirked before he walked off.

Draco's P.O.V

Harry and I pulled into the restaurant and I parked in front of the valet. I paid him and walked into the eatery.

"How many?" The girl asked.

"Two." I said and she nodded. She pulled out two menus and brought us to a table near the end of the dining room. We were seated next to the windows. "Enjoy." She smiled and walked away.

"Are you happy?" I asked Harry. He looked up from his menu and started to chew on his lip.

"I mean I'm happy they're both behind bars and I feel safer but I feel sort of bad."

"Why?"
"Because I mean Cedric wanted to be a teacher and now he can't even do that." He said and I shrugged.

"It's not something you should worry about." I said. "It's his fault Harry not yours." I said and he shrugged. He let out a breath.

"Do you think Sirius and Snape are dating?" He asked and I let out a surprised chuckle.

"Why do you ask?" I asked.

"Well I mean they were practically sitting on each other's lap at the diner after the trial." He said and my eyes widened.

"You saw that too?!" I asked and he smiled.

"Yeah I was so shocked but I didn't want to ask." He laughed. "And they took an awful lot of time 'making amends.'." He said and I chuckled.

"Well they made something other then 'amends.'" I said and he laughed.

"Please I don't want to think about what they're doing together." He said.

"Well Sirius got a good look of what we do together." I winked causing him to blush. Our waiter came over and took our drink orders. I got a Pepsi while he got sprite. We started looking at our menus. "What are you thinking of getting?" I asked,

"I was thinking the 9oz sirloin." He said. "Do you think I could get fries?" He asked smiling slightly.

"I don't see why not." I chuckled. "I was thinking of getting a BLT." I said and he let out a moan of delight. I raised my eyebrow.

"That's the good sandwich you made me at your house." He smiled and I nodded.

"That is true." I smiled. I leaned in and kissed his lips. The waiter came back and cleared his throat. "Sorry." I muttered.

"Not an issue." He said. "What can I get you?" He asked.

"I'll have the nine ounce sirloin cooked medium and um can I get fries?" Harry asked and the waiter smiled.

"Yeah of course anything you want." He winked and I felt jealousy ripple through me.

"Thank you." Harry said and the waiter looked at me with slight distaste to him.

"And what can I get for you?"

"I'll have a BLT with fries as well." I said and he nodded.

"Alright." The waiter walked away and Harry was laughing.

"What?" I glowered.

"Your food is so gonna have spit in it." He chuckled and I made a face of disgust.

"Ew why do you say that?"

"Because he was flirting with me and since you're my boyfriend he won't be happy."

"Yeah what was with that?"

"I don't know but I can't help it that I'm hot." He said winking and I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah you can't, it just comes naturally." I said causing him to blush. He stood up and sat on my lap. "What are you-" He cut me off by putting his lips to mine. My eyes fluttered closed and I felt his lips attach to my neck. I bit my lip and he bit down gently to make a love bite. When he was finished he stood up and sat back down.

"Now he knows that your mine." He smiled and I rolled my eyes.

"Is it bad?"

"Not as bad as the day before we first had sex but one of my bests." He said and I smiled.

"Jesus I love you."

"Yeah Jesus is a pretty cool guy."

"You're such a loser." I giggled making him smile.

"I'm your loser." He said and I smiled.

"Don't you forget that." I stuck out my tongue making him laugh. His phone started ringing so he looked down.

"It's an unknown number."
"You should answer it, it might be the job you applied for." I said and he nodded.

"Hello?" He answered. "This is he... yes I am... yeah tomorrow is perfect... thank you for calling... see you tomorrow, goodbye." He said and hung up. He looked at me. "Yeah that was them; I have an interview for tomorrow at ten am." He said and I nodded.

"Alright, I'll take you there, how far of a drive?"

"I think it was like ten minutes maybe." He said and I nodded.

"I'll get a taxi to bring us." I said and he smiled.

"Thank you baby, I love you."

"I love you too."

After dinner Harry and I were in bed making out. I was on top of him and I moved my hand to slip under his boxers but he tensed and stopped me.

"I'm sorry." He said pulling away. "After hearing what he did to me, I don't think I'm ready to sex again just yet." He said and I gave a small smile.

"Don't apologize Harry, you need time to heal. I understand." I said and rolled over next to him. "You should probably rest anyway." I said as he cuddled up to me.

"Alright goodnight Dragon, I love you."
"I love you more Harry goodnight."
