OH MY GOD! I honestly cannot believe how long it's taken me to post, and I'm very very very sorry. All I can say is that life has been crazy. But I do promise that this story will be finished eventually, and that I won't leave it so long next time.

As always, It's not mine, but if you feel like giving me the rights for a xmas prezzie or something, then feel free. If you know it, it's the amazing JK's. If its stupid, misspelt or just plain creepy, then it's mine :)

Also- writing on a new laptop, which doesn't have word yet. So I've had to write this on wordpad. I appologise for the amount of spelling mistakes that come from me not having spellcheck.

A couple of questions for you all- as well as the usual Mpreg and pairings, how do people feel about femslash?

As it's been so long, I'll put review replies at the bottom, and let you get on with the story.

Please remember to review. It really does make my day.

'Come on Harry, you've faced a basalisk, how can you be scared of a date?' Draco laughed, as Harry threw yet another shirt back over the screen he'd conjured.

'That's not fucking helpful, you arse.' Harry replied, 'now pass me something else.'

'Yes, Mi'Lord', Draco snickered.

Twenty minutes, and quite a few swear words later, Harry stood, self consciously tugging at the hem of the black, silk shirt they had finally settled on.

'Do you not think that it's, I don't know, a little tight,' Harry suggested carefully, before dodging the stinging hex that Draco sent at him.

'Fuck Draco, fine. I'm wearing it, aren't I?'

'Then don't complain. Now, Let me fix your hair.'

Apart from the tight black shirt, Harry was also wearing black skinny jeans, which were apparently a growing fashion in the wizarding world, with his emerald green cloak lying on the bed, ready to be thrown over the top. While Draco fussed over Harry's barely manageable hair, Harry was fretting about the date.

His fears ranged from the reasonable. 'Where are we even going to go, it's not like we can go on a normal date.' To the normal. 'What if I say something stupid?' To the downright bizarre. 'But Dracooo, what if I choke on a fish bone?'

'Don't have the fish.' Came the irritated reply.

'Dracoo...' Harry whined.

'Listen here Potter. This is the Dark Lord we're talking about. You look great, he cares for you a great deal, and he will have everything under control.' Draco said firmly. 'Now, it's five to, I'm going to go home, and you're going to have a great time on your date.'

'Ssshutt upp, you irritating snakee' The Dark Lord hissed at his familiar, as he ran his fingers through his hair and desperately searched for something to wear.

Voldemort knew he was being stupid, he knew that Harry didn't care what robes he wore, but he knew that this was Harry's first date, and he really didn't want the screw that up. And it had been a really long time since he'd been on a date.

Finally settling on high quality plain black robes, and a black cloak secured with a silver snake pin, Voldemort set about fixing his hair, trying to ignore the hissing snake, who seemed to be trying to laugh, behind him.

Casting a quick tempus charm, He saw it was ten to eight, and gave up on his appearance.

'Don't push it, Severus is always looking for potions ingredients.' He hissed, before walking out the door.

Harry heard a knock on his door and smiled to himself. Just on time, as always. He opened his bedroom door, and gave the Dark Lord a light kiss on the lips, before taking the arm that was offered to him.

'You look amazing Harry', the Dark Lord offered sincerely. Harry blushed and ducked his head, smiling, at the comment.

They made their way down to the entrance hall, before Voldemort halted, pulling out his wand. He waved it over himself and Harry, muttering an incantation that Harry had never heard before. Harry felt a strange tingling sensation fall over his body, but, once it had passed, he could see no difference. He looked at Voldemort, a confused look on his face.

'It's a spell I invented a few months ago. It changes our appearance to everyone but the two of us. It will ensure that we are safe to go outside the grounds tonight, but means that you still look like yourself. I couldn't deny myself that pleasure.' The end of the sentence was murmured lightly in Harry's ear, before the Dark Lord captured his lips.

After breaking away, and composing himself,Voldemort took Harry's arm again, leading him outside. Despite the fact that Voldemort was able to apparate from anywhere in the manor, he decided to lead Harry to the edge of the grounds before doing so, giving them a chance to talk and enjoy the time they were spending together.

Once they had reached the edge of the wards, and he had checked that Harry was ready, Voldemort had tightened his grip on Harry's arm and apparated them both.

Harry looked around, confused, as Voldemort lead them out of the alleyway that had severed as their apperation point.

The Dark Lord smiled lightly, sensing the younger wizard's confusion.

'I thought that being out of the country would give us a little extra protection. And I know you haven't exactly had the chance to travel. Welcome to Paris darling.'

As always, thank you so much to everyone who reviewed. As for specific questions ect:

Jasmine Indigo Sappihhra- Thank you so much :) Twins and Neville is a pairing (threesome?) that I'm leaning towards. With the long hiatus, I'm basically having to completely review the story line, mainly because I can't really remember where I was going with it. The others are also something I'll be thinking about.

Sorry I didn't get round to the politics this chapter, I just wanted to get something up, but that will be coming up in the next chapter.

Tonks isn't even a question in my mind. I love her too much to leave her out. But I really don't like her with Remus, so I'll be avoiding that.

quitkid- Glad that your enjoing it so much. Definetly haven't forgotten, just had life get in the way a lot. Between family problems, A levels, work and getting ready for uni I just haven't had the time. But I'm planning to focus more on my writting, especailly in the next couple of weeks, so should get a few chapters up before uni starts.

Dianadenisa-

Thanks for the review. If Harry and Tom do have a kid, Harry will probably be the one to carry them , just because it makes more sense. Hadn't even thought of giving Harry a snake, but I love the idea. Maybe some possessiveness from nagini.

Stormshadow13-

Thanks :) I'm thinking little bit loopy,but not completely insane Bella- maybe some therapy for her treatment in prison. Regulus is dead, but I'm not sure if I'm going to stick to the cannon on how he died just yet. Might make him a hero for the dark rather than just a traitor.

As always, thank you for reading and please review.
