Title: Reforging old bonds
Pairing: future drarry, implied Remus x Severus
Fandom: Harry Potter
Summery: Harry grows up as Remus and Severus' son, spending school hours at Hecate's school for young witches and wizards. Despite the slight difference in their ages his guardians arrange play dates with both the Malfoy heir, Draco who is Severus' other godson and the Longbottom heir, Neville.
Author's Note: Since my Draco is older, I decided he had a previous obsession with dragons due to his name. Also that he would want to have Harry practice facing dragons so that in keeping with Slytherin values such as resourcefulness, cunning and self-preservation. I also have done my best to present Slytherin fraternity, cleverness and determination.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Golden Egg's song, that is JKR's creation.

Chapter 20- The Second Task

Blaise absently asked Harry on their way to Charms if he’d solved the golden egg.

Harry shook his head, “It shrieks something awful…”

“Maybe its Mermish? That’s rumored to sound worse than a Harpy’s screetching, try putting it in water to see if it does anything.”

Harry hugged Blaise, whispering, “Charlie think that?”

Blaise blushed, “No…he won’t talk about Triwizard stuff. Says he signed a contract about disclosing things…”

“Yet he could introduce you to dragons…” Harry teased.

“He didn’t tell me they were for the First Task though. He let me figure that out…” Blaise protested.

“He’s nice…”

Blaise shivered, “He’s more than nice…”

“So are you going to join him in Romania after graduation?”

“Yes? He’s looking for a house for us.”

“Whore…” Ron coughed.

Blaise flinched.

Harry glared and ushered Blaise away, his friend didn’t need that.

XooooooX

Sitting alone in Draco’s bath after classes, Harry reluctantly went to open the golden egg immersed in the water and was prepared for its unearthly wails.

Only there were none…

Confused Harry took a deep breath and stuck his head in…

We’ve taken what you’ll sorely miss
An hour long you'll have to look,
And to recover what we took,
But past an hour, the prospect's black,
Too late, it's gone, it won't come back.

What he would miss most? His sisters?

No… they weren’t satisfied with forcing him into this tournament. They were going to take Draco from him…

An hour?

Just an hour to find his childhood friend, now boyfriend?

If he failed, he won’t get Draco back?

Harry popped out of the water and began hyperventilating. He couldn’t lose Draco… he just couldn’t…

In a moment of temper, Harry hurled the golden egg at the wall which dipped and almost spongified to catch it only to land back in the water open.

He left the egg and stumbled naked to Draco’s bed, crying himself to sleep forgetting his homework.

XooooooX

Draco returned from his prefect rounds to find a naked tear-streaked Harry in his bed.

He found Harry school things sprawled out on his desk but the bath still steaming strangely.

Sitting at the bottom of the bath was Harry’s open but unscreeching golden egg. The bath seemed clean so Draco stripped and slipped inside.

He ducked his head under water only to catch part of a song…

An hour long you'll have to look,
And to recover what we took,
But past an hour, the prospect's black,
Too late, it's gone, it won't come back.

Draco waited for it start again and listened to the entirety of it.

Come seek us where our voices sound,
We cannot sing above the ground,
And while you're searching ponder this;
We’ve taken what you’ll sorely miss
An hour long you'll have to look,
And to recover what we took,
But past an hour, the prospect's black,
Too late, it's gone, it won't come back.

AS if being forced into this deadly competition wasn’t cruel enough, they were threatening to take something precious from Harry and withhold it if he failed to retrieve it?

No wonder his best friend, now lover had cried himself to sleep. Harry must have been certain they would take him. While being considered what Harry would ‘sorely miss’ was somewhat flattering but not at the expense of Harry’s comfort.

He would have to inform his father about this, he would frame it as they were best friends which they still were. Informing his sire that he was Harry’s lover seemed unwise at present, not that he was ashamed of it but rather he worried that Harry would be shamed into ending it were it to reach Lucius Malfoy…

XooooooX

The golden egg’s song haunted Harry, disrupting his sleep and causing nightmares.

Draco never arrived at dinner the night before the Second Task and none of SLytherin had seen him since he was reluctantly called away by Harry’s papa…

So Blaise led him back to the Fourth Year Dungeon dormitory and let him kip in his bed.

Now it was late morning, he couldn’t try to rescue Draco until after lunch.

He spent the rest of the time in Blaise’s lap hiding.

He was terrified of failure…

Blaise’s hand stroking his hair was only semi-soothing…

Slytherin was soon chanting his name and summoning him to the common room.

Blaise slipped him some pumpkin juice with a little calming draught and then guided him out of the dormitory.

Slytherin escorted Harry all the way to the Black Lake where a series of diving platforms had been constructed.

Blaise massaged his shoulders trying to calm him down while Bagman’s loud awful voice welcomed them to the Second Task and reiterated the Champions’ scores before informing the guests of the Task’s objective.

Just before the whistle blew, Harry shakily cast a Bubblehead charm on himself only to practically trip into the water.

Harry knew how to swim; he just wasn’t very confident in it. His dad had taught him and his sisters but unlike flying, Harry didn’t really like it.

Yet he swam straight down, punching and hexing anything that remotely got in his way.

Harry needed to rescue Draco and convince himself that he wasn’t going to lose him forever.

He soon spotted a ghostly light and swam towards that.

Out of the gloom emerged a strange sort of watery village, Harry looked around and found Draco, Brecc Montague and the tiny blonde witch who clung to Delacour’s skirt tied to a strange statue by some sort of rope that seemed to be fashioned from ‘lakeweed’.

Harry reached out to touch Draco’s face but his lover didn’t respond.

A tempus charm showed he still had time so Harry waited and held fast to Draco’s limp hand.

Viktor emerged from the dark water above and used a weak slicing jinx to severe the rope tying Brecc to the statue.

He was going to leave him behind…

Harry sent a light shocking spell at the Durmstrang Champion, before mouthing, ‘Where is Fleur?’

Viktor frowned, shrugging.

Then the Durmstrang champion stayed with him.

When the tempus charm showed they had only a minute remaining and no sign of Delacour, Harry used a sharp rock to free both the remain hostages.

Viktor used the relashio to tie the five of them together and then the ascendio was cast on the lake floor just as the merpeople seemed to take exception at their rescuing Delacour’s hostage.

They blasted straight up, launching a few feet into the air before the spell lost power and they splashed back into the Black Lake.

Whatever spells were on the hostages broke as they surface and Draco began taking deep almost wheezing breaths just before Harry hugged him tight, half-sobbing.

“I was afraid of losing you…” He whispered painfully.

Draco embraced Harry and murmured soothing words until he calmed, ignoring Bagman.

It wasn’t until Delacour hugged them both and cried on them about rescuing her sister.

Draco had no part in the rescue but a debt from a Veela was not easily refused.

Harry mumbled about not being able to leave her there…

Harry received ten extra points for ‘rescuing’ Delacour’s hostage while Viktor received twenty; ten for rescuing Delacour’s hostage and ten for ensuring their return within the time limit via the Ascendio charm.

“This brings Hogwarts Champion Harry’s total points to one hundred and two, Durmstrang’s Viktor Krum has a total of one hundred and fifteen while Beauxbatons’ Mademoiselle Delacour has sixty-one. The Third Task will begin at six o’clock on the Twenty-third of June.”

From what Draco had seen of the First Task, Delacour was an extraordinarily gifted witch but the judges seemed prejudiced against her.

A pity that someone of her abilities was scoring so badly…

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
Jan - The twins left because they dislike Dumbledore and didn't want to chance losing their wands. They may decide to sit their NEWTS someday but for now they have their OWLS. To be fair, there were no other professors or staff in the Great Hall at the time he threated F/G with explusion. Dumbledore has his reasons the creeper for wanting Harry in that Tournament. WIth Harry the sole Hogwarts Champion, he couldn't withdraw without having the host school give up their champion status.
