Chapter Ten-Just from his touch
The silence in the room was deafening. It seem everyone was thinking different things at the same time. Horcruxes, Heirs, Hogwarts, Founders and Prophecies. No one knew what to say. Lucius was the first to speak.
“I need a drink.” As soon as the words came out of his mouth, a glass of fire-whisky appeared in his hand. He looked at the drink then at the occupants in the room. At the moment too many things were happening and it seemed he forgot that he was a wizard. “Severus, when did you start doing wandless magic?”
Severus gave him an exhausting look “You know my limitations to wandless magic, I…. “
“It’s ok, you can show yourself.” Luna said before Severus could continue further. A figure shimmered in the center of the room. She was transparent you could see the other side of the room through her, and yet she was beautiful. She had long flowing blond almost hair with piercing blue eyes. He gazed traveled around the room and settled on Harry and Neville. She glided over to them and placed a kiss each on there foreheads. Harry could have sworn he felt the warmth of her lips.
“Thank you for protecting us Lady Hogwarts.” Neville said.
She looked at them both. “I wish I could have protected you better. Especially you young Harry.” It saddened her to know what they went through. Each went through their own hate by the hand and mouth of those who were supposed to protect them. “Time is at hand,” she said to the others in the room. “
“I agree” said the Malfoy Lord. Harry did not know what to do. Since Lucius entered the room he could not stop staring at him. Draco looked so much like his father. He was handsome and strong magically and physically; he did not look like a man in his late thirties. He sighed, why has Draco not gotten back to me? Did he change his mind? No, that could not be it. We are destined to be with each other.
He realized the more he thought of Draco, the more his feelings grew. If someone had told him that he would fancy Draco Malfoy, he would have laughed in their face then hex them. But who wouldn’t? The way he kissed and held me he felt his body melted against Draco. He really did not want Draco to let him go. But he knew it was not time for them to meet face to face. The way his feels started to develop so quickly he wondered if he already had feeling for Draco before he came into his inheritance? He was so deep in thought he was not even paying attention to the discussion going on around him.
“So the first thing that we need to do is find out where and what the horcruxes are before Dumbledore tries to convince Harry it is up to him. Remus stated.
Severus turned his attention to Lucius, “Lucius do you know what they are?”
Nodding his head “It is very dark magic, even I would not mess with. A witch or a wizard seeking immortality hides a fragment of his or her soul. Creating a Horcrux gives one the ability to anchor one's own soul to earth if the body is destroyed; the more horcruxes one creates, the closer one is to true immortality. Creating multiple Horcruxes is suggested to be costly to the creator, by both diminishing their humanity and even physically disfiguring them. Which would explain his current appearance.”
“And I am one of Voldemorts Horcrux?” Harry asked.
“Not anymore” This came from Lady Hogwarts. “His soul was ripped from your body the night you came into your inheritance. Darkness cannot abide in the soul and body of a light Lord.”
“I thought the Headmaster was the light Lord?” Harry asked.
Lady Hogwarts shook her head “He has strayed from his path, his heart has become corrupt with greed for fame. His manipulations and lies sewn seeds and hate in others and light can no longer live in them.”
“So now we have to find the other’s? Once we do that we will be able to get rid of Voldemort. It would be better if we could find them with out Dumbledore knwing” Said one of the twins.
“Maybe we should get rid of both Voldemort and Dumbledore the same time? Said the other.
“No” Harry yelled “I want to take care of them one by one. I want to see the look on their faces when I exact my revenge. Fred, George do you have anything against me if I go after your family.”
“As long as you leave Charlie, Bill, Fleur, Percy and Dad alone. The rest is all yours.” One replied and the other nodded.
He had to know “Do you think the other’s knew what your mother and Dumbledore was up to?”
“We can assure you they did not,” Fred said
“Since they met you they think the world of you” Countered George
“…When they find out what mum and the rest are up to” Fred added
“They will be pissed,” They said together
After that conversation went into other plans what step they will take. The twins said they would secretly speak to the rest of their family without their mother knowing. Severus and Lucius will look for clues as to where the other Horcruxes could be.
Harry told them what Dumbledore told Ron and Hermione about what they were but did not know where they were hidden. They also told Harry to delay talking to the Headmaster for as long as possible this way Severus could come up with a for him not to be alone with the man. Sooner or later he will have to talk to the Headmaster without making him suspicious.
Before Lucius left he asked if it was ok to Narcissa know what was going on. He told them he would swear her under a wizard’s oath. They all agree that it was ok. Harry was tempted to ask Lucius things about Draco. But thought better of it. He was not ready to do the in-law thing as yet.
Harry and Neville made it back to their dorm before curfew. They separated and went to their own beds to take care of their nightly needs. He stopped when he moved his curtains to the side and saw an envelope with his name on it. Bending over slowly he picked up the envelope and saw that it was from Draco. Nerves it him in bouts. What if this was a rejected? Only one way to find out he thought. Taking a deep breath he opened it.
My Dearest Evan,
I know you must be wondering if I have rejected your request. How can I when holding you and kissing you again is all I can think about. There is so much I want to know about you. Besides, finding out who you really are, I want to know what are your likes and dislikes. Do you have any siblings?
I could not wait for you to reply so I had this parchment charmed. All you need to do is write on it and I will see it on another parchment I also have charmed. I hope to hear from you soon.
Yours,
Draco
Harry sat there for a few minutes, trying to decide what to say first. He decided that he would respond after he got ready for bed. Changing out of his clothes he put on his silk pajama pants. Thanking Merlin he does not have to wear Dudley’s hand me downs. Climbed into his bed, shutting his curtains placing a silencing and sticking charm so that he would not get disturbed. He picked up the parchment and started writing.
Harry: Green.
He waited with baited breath for Draco to write back. He waited a little while longer thinking that either Draco was already in bed or was not going to respond. He was getting ready to put the parchment away and put out the light when he saw it.
Draco: What took you so long? I was getting ready to go to bed.
Harry: I just got back to my dorm. I did not know I would have to wait so long for you to respond back to me.
Draco: This is starting out on the wrong foot. How about we start over. How was your day?
Harry: It was all right it got a bit stressful in some parts.
Draco: What was stressful about it?
Harry did not know how to answer that he was not ready to tell Draco everything. He wanted to easy him into his life and troubles a little at a time. What did he tell him?
Harry: Oh you know, classes and studying. Professor Snape’s essay took me three hours to complete. Will you tell me something about yourself? Everyone knows of Draco Malfoy but no one really knows you. The only thing I know about you is that you like quidditch. And, You are the heir to the Malfoy line and that you are an only child. You were sorted into Slytherin.
Draco: That paper is not due until next Thursday. Lets see what I can tell you. It’s not that I like quidditch more so is I love to fly. I get this freedom being in the air; sometimes I don’t ever want to come down. What house were you sorted in?
Harry: I know the feeling. When I am on a broom it feels as I nothing can stop me. The first time I got on a broom I was not sure if I would like it. But the minute was in the air I felt the freedom of letting go. I was supposed to be sorted into Slytherin but I talked the hat into sorting me into Gryffindor.
Draco sat still for a minute; his mate could have been sorted in his house. He did not know what to say. No one has ever talked the hat out of a sorting. And, to top it off he’s a Gryffindor. He knew there was a chance that his mate would not be in his house. He was not expecting a Gryffindor. He will just have to get over that part.
Draco: Why did you talk the hat out of sorting you into Slytherin? Despite the rumors it is a great house. We look out for each other.
Harry: I did not know I was a wizard, when I started Hogwarts. I did not know there was a war going on between light and dark. And, I was told that only dark wizards are sorted into Slytherin. Also the first person my age that I met was sorted into Slytherin and they did not give me a very good impression.
Draco: There is so much I do not understand. How could you not know you are a wizard?
Harry: I grew up with muggles, my father was a wizard and my mother was a muggleborn witch. My parents died when I was a baby. They do not like magic so I was treated horribly. I was made to cook and clean for them. They starved me, my cousin bullied me every chance he got. One time I was running from my cousins and his friends, I just wanted to get away from them. The next thing I knew I was on top of the roof of my primary school. My uncle nearly killed me that night. I didn’t even know that I did magic.
Draco was pissed. His mate was abused. How dare anyone would raise a hand to him. Children in the magical world are treasured. There were times his parents got angry at something stupid he might have done but, the never abused him. When he did accidental magic they took it in stride. Someone hurt his mate. His Veela wanted to find Evan’s family and kill them. He would not be convicted, as a Veela his duty is to protect his mate no matter the cost.
Draco: I want to kill them. I want to kill them for hurting you.
Harry: You don’t have to worry about them. Their days are numbered. Let’s talk about happier things. What do you want to do when you graduate from Hogwarts?
Draco: I will always worry about you. It is my job as your mate to protect you. Never doubt that. Your safety and that of any kits we might have comes first. You are not alone any longer. My mum and dad will be so happy to meet you and wait until I tell them what happened to you. Mum will probably castrate your uncle and cousin, and Dad knows more dark curses than anyone I know. As for what I want to do after I graduate from Hogwarts. I love potions; I have been studying under Professor Snape to get my mastery in potions. I guess I should tell you now he is my Godfather. What about you? What are your plans after Hogwarts besides spending the rest of your life loving me?
Harry: It is nice to know that will always worry about me. I don’t have a lot of people I can trust in my life. I don’t want anyone to die for me. I am not worth it. After Hogwarts my plans are to be an Arithmancer. I think numbers are fascinating. I knew Professor Snape was your godfather. It’s good to have family close by. I have someone I consider my brother in all but blood so I understand family ties. Kits do you know how weird it is for me to know that men can have children in the wizarding world. Do you think it will happen that we will love each other for the rest of our lives?
Draco: An Arithmance is a very good careerI can see where it would seem a little odd to you that wizards can have babies if you were not brought up in our world. Do you even want to have children? You are worth it. I will prove it to you everyday of our life. Because once a Malfoy finds the one they are meant to be with they never let them go.
Harry: I’d like that. I would love to have a horde of children. Having a family of my own is very important. Not having a mother and father puts that need to be one. I think we should go to bed now. Do you think we could talk like this again tomorrow night?
Draco: Then I will make sure the home we have is big enough for all the children you desire. We can, go to sleep my petit corbeau, dream of me. Good night.
Harry: Good Night Dominant.

Over the next couple of weeks Draco could not stop smiling. His friends noticed a difference in the way that he was acting. They were not even arguing like usual. They were taking the first step in getting to know each other. They wrote each other every night. Draco found that his mate had a dry sense of humor. He could be just as snarky as any Slytherin. Despite having to learn it at and early age his mate loved to garden and cook. Draco still wanted to know who his mate really was. He still believed that Evan was not his mate’s real name. No matter how many questions he asked to look for clues the next day he still could not figure it out.
He was sitting at the Slytherin table eating his breakfast when owls swarmed into the hall. Again the grey spotted owl flew to him, this time she had a package with her. She dropped the package in front of his plate then flew off. Draco looked at the neatly wrapped box with interest. He opened it. What he saw inside made him laugh out loud. He reached in and picked up a green stuffed dragon that was charmed to look like it was breathing fire. His mate was so sweet, it was endearing.
He remembered the conversation during their nightly chats. He asked Evan a silly question like if he could be any animal what would it be. Evan said he would like to be a dragon. Dragons have the freedom to be free without any inhibitions. They both thought it was funny that his name Draco means dragon.
“Well it seems our Draco has an admirer,” Pansy said with a raised eyebrow. “I wonder who would garner such a reaction out of him.” she went on.
He looked at her and smirked at her. There was nothing he needed to say. Only his closets friends knew about the kiss. He just did not tell them about the nightly letters.
Blaise and Theo looked at him with a knowing smile. “It seems you found what you have been looking for.” Said Blaise.
“Indeed” was his response he will speak to them more about it later. There are thing things should be discussed behind closed doors. Draco put his dragon in the box, and then shrunk it to fit in his pocket. Putting it in his pocket he got up and went off to his first class of the day.
Walking out of the great hall, Draco ignored the rest of the Slytherin table. They were shocked to see the stoic, Prince of Slytherin laughing in such a public settings. It was public knowledge that Slytherin’s did not show their emotions no matter what. No one would be brave enough to challenge the Slytherin Prince for his out burst because they are not prepared for the consequence.
Across the hall Harry was happy; he waited with anticipation as Hedwig flew to Draco. He charmed her from snow white to a spotted grey owl with blue eyes. He made sure she was unrecognizable to those who knew what she looked like. He was saw as she flew into the great hall and went straight to Draco, dropping the package then flew out of the hall. He watched as Draco looked at the package, opened it and then laughed. He saw the joy in his mate’s face, his heart melted at the sound of Draco’s laugh.
He also, saw the look of apprehension on the faces of those sitting next to Draco. He saw his mate turn and looked at Pansy then Blasé and Theo. He did not know what was said only that a few minutes later, Draco shrunk his gift put it in his pocket then left the great hall. Harry was so happy that Draco like his gift he thought nothing could ruin his good mood. How wrong was he when a certain redhead opened his mouth.
“Oi, who would get the ferret a dragon” shrugging his shoulders at Ron’s question.
“He has been acting quite strange this year,” said Hermione. “I think this was their first year since we have known him we did not get into a confrontation with us” she continued.
“Maybe he is up to something for you-know-who. You can’t trust a ferret like him” Harry looked at Ron with exasperation. Ron always thinks that Draco and every Slytherin are up to something. His hate for the Malfoys supersede anything sane. Harry did not feel like sitting around and hear Ron continue to berate his mate. Finishing the rest of his pumpkin juice he got up and went to potions.
*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*
They were seated in potions when Professor Snape walked in and began giving out instructions to the class. Draco was sitting in his usual seat in the front the class. Harry made sure he got a seat that will give him the perfect view of his mate; he also wanted to sit away from Hermione. “For the rest of the semester you are will required to work with a partner. You will be working on the truth serum. I will assign your partners and I do not care if you like them or not. I am not here to pander to your needs.” He started calling out the pairs.
“Parkinson, Granger…. Bulstrode, Zabini…Potter, Malfoy”
Harry did not hear anything after that. His breathing started to get shallow. He will have to work closely with Draco. Since finding out Draco was his mate other than the midnight kisses he has kept his distance from him. Now they will be working together for the rest of the semester. What is he going to do? What if Draco recognizes his touch or his scent? There is only so much he can do to keep his secret from Draco.
“POTTER...Are deaf child move your arse…or would you like for me to gather your things for you.” Professor Snape yelled. He looked around the class and saw everyone staring at him. Feeling a little embarrassed for zoning out he gathered his books and went to sit beside Draco. As he sat down his heart was beating so fast he thought it would jump out of his chest. Draco was looking at him with his usual sneer.
“You get the supplies and I will start the base.” Draco said. Without hearing another word Harry jumped from his seat and ran to the storage room. He gathered the supplies he needed. He had to figure a way to get out of this. He is not ready for Draco to find out he was his mate. He saw a jar of Caesium. Picking it up adding to the piles of supply. He did not know what he was going to do with it but he will think of something. Walking slowly back to where Draco was stirring the start of the potion, he put the supplies down on the table one by one. He made sure to place the Caesium last and on the edge of the workstation.
“Start cutting up the dandelion root finely. I would like to have the prep work done before class is finished.” He told Harry. “And Potter do not mangle the root.” Taking up the root he moved closer to where the Caesium jar was and started chopping the root. He was so focused on what he was doing; he wanted to make it perfect so that his mate would not find any fault in it. He did not hear Draco talking to him.
When Draco touched him on his arm to get his attention he jumped and saw irate blue-grey eyes looking at him. The feel of Draco’s hand burnt through to his skin. He felt desire than fear for his mate; they stared at each other for seemed like forever. And, that’s when he saw the realization in Draco’s eyes. He tried to break away from Draco’s eyes and touch. He needed to get out of there, get ways from Draco’s he was not ready for Draco to reject him. He was strong in so many things but the fear that his mate will reject him left him weak.
Pulling his arm away he knocked over the jar of Caesium the jar shattered on the floor. Smoke started to fill the room. Trying to flee the room Harry turned and slipped on the spilled contents. Hitting his head on the edge of the desk and fell, the last thing Harry saw were blue-grey eyes looking at him. He could not decipher if they were from concern or anger.
*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*
Draco was…. he did not know how to feel. On one hand he was pissed, and on the other he was concerned. He finally knows the identity of his mate…. Harry Bloody Potter. He could not decide if he was pissed that Harry was his mate or because it took him this long to figure it out. He sighed at his thoughts when did he start thinking of Potter as Harry.
He was concerned because his mate was now in the hospital for inhaling toxic fumes and he could not go to him. They needed to talk and there are things he needs to figure out. He needed to find out if everything Harry told him was a lie. He already knew the name Even was a lie. If everything Harry told him was true, Merlin help the bastards that hurt his mate.
Thinking back to the moment in class, he did not know what possessed to touch Harry in class. But from the moment his fingers touched his Harrys arm. He felt like he was complete and he didn’t want to let him. It was that thought that confused him more than anything. At the moment Draco felt so out of his depth. He is so use to being in control of everyone and everything around him. He needed some advice before he went and talk to Harry. He needed honest answers to his questions. The only person he knew who would be honest with him was his Uncle Sev.
