Aaliyah�there will definitely be more just Harry/Draco moments. They�ll try and sneak them in whenever they can. Im glad you liked the transformation and snapes change, I was a bit conscious of those things, cos they�re quite important and as the transformation is totally visual I was worried people wouldn�t be able to see it. Thanks for the review.

Stasha�originally I was going to have a little altercation between Harry and Remus, but I thought this way worked better with the rest of the plot. Theres too much for Harry to worry about without Remus adding to it. There may be a little jealousy as poor Remus cant even put a claiming mark on snape like Harry could with Draco. But if there is it will only be minor. Thanks for the review, im glad you liked the H/D moment. I think they deserved it.

WeasleyWench�Glad you liked it. I definitely enjoyed writing this one. I liked writing all of the talks between Harry n the others, especially the bit with Draco. Thanks for the review.

Thrnbrooke�Harry is an African Wild Dog. They�re a threatened species, beautifully coloured, fast and agile. Are protective of their pack (like our Harry) and are vicious when they need to be. A pack of dogs can strip a carcass extremely quickly. I didn�t want to go for a cat with Harry, especially with him having cat demon blood. Which gives him his natural grace and suppleness. I thought he was more of a group animal, strong devotion to those he loves and I know he will do whatever he can to protect his �pack� especially Draco. Thank you for the review.

Heksy�Hey hun, sorry bout you not getting my emails. I�ll give you an exta heads up again just in case. Don�t worry bout not knowing about last chapter, missing a review don�t matter. I love the weazy thing too. It was ony a little thing in the fourth book but it had me laughing so much and when I had dobby in it, I had to put in weazy. I like snarky git snapes, I like nice snapes. Hell I like any kind of snapes, so im glad people are liking this snape. He has a very important role later. Sorry bout the Hermione thing, I know its really killing people but I cant say anything until its time. But so far its looking like that memory block thing harry and snape discussed, but then again that might be cos they have no other options so far, we�ll have to wait and see. N your brain isn�t non existent its just drunk! As evidenced by all the presents you send me, which I �hic� love by the way. He he I got Ogdens. And no I didn�t give your house elf any Meade, he lived up to his name (Tipsy) all by himself. He passed out ages ago and hasn�t woken up yet. Unfortunately my owl was ill and the only other one I had was older than errol so I couldn�t send him back to you. I did think of Floo powder but I thought that was a very bad idea, the elf could end up anywhere. So I�ll send him back in�almost perfect condition when I can. Hugs from England!

Pliedeswolf�It is a shame Draco doesn�t have an invisibility cloak. I love Snape, I think he�s one of the best characters in the books, I like him when he�s a git and I like him when he�s nice. I�m recommending a fic today where he�s a complete and utter bastard.

Windrose�Don�t worry about not reviewing more, I understand that sometimes you just cant. Im glad you�re still liking this. Im setting things up at the moment and in either the next chapter or the one after that I will be skipping some time to where the action starts. And where we get some answers.

Anjdetached�Thank you im glad you are liking it. I love it when people say they read it all the way through, I think it really shows how much a person likes it if they read it straight to the end. I�m glad you think its different, I know there are a lot of clich�s associated with HD fics, especially creature ones. I didn�t mind using a couple, after all clich�s are only clich�s because they�re liked and used so much. I wanted to go for something a bit different. And I have some really good ideas for new stories but I wont be starting those until this is finished.

Argo_801�Ok I know Harry shouldn�t really have told Remus about the other two�s animagus forms, even though he trusts him. But I will explain my reasoning for doing so. First of all Dumbledore knows that animagi can enter into Hogwarts and will be on the look out for creatures, he obviously hasn�t placed wards after Sirius got in otherwise Rita Skeeter would never have made it passed the gate. He would also have told his teachers to look out for animagi. Since Remus and Snape are the only ones Harry trusts at the moment not to betray him to Dumbledore, he needs to tell them in case they see either of the two about the castle. The other reason is, as I mentioned in the last chapter Ron being a sparrow is at risk not just from Humans but the animals as well i.e. owls and cats (Crookshanks�who will definitely know he aint a real bird and probably attack like he did with Scabbers). N even though its probably less likely Draco could be at risk from Hagrids creatures, especially Thestrals. So that�s why he decided to tell him. I probably should have mentioned it in the last chapter but I forgot, I jut wanted to get the chapter out. Thanks for the review.

Thank you to everyone else who read the last chapter. Oh and if you were wondering why Harry told Remus about Ron and Draco�s animagus forms then please read the above review.

Chapter 30: DA Meeting

Harry Potter stood upon a dais in the ROR. Dressed to the nines in Black jeans as dark as velvet and a tight black t-shirt, his hair was loose and flowing, all the black contrasting perfectly with his golden features and startling green eyes, Harry looked every inch a leader. Draco was in awe of his mate, he stood as if one prepared for anything, his shoulders squared, his legs slightly parted. One hand rested lightly on his thigh, the other held his wand loosely at his side. His gaze was sweeping all of the expectant faces and whenever they left a person, he seemed to have come to a decision about them.

Draco and Blaise were watching everything from the other side of the room. They were under Harry�s invisibility cloak and behind several very strong shields. Harry was taking no chances with them. They were to observe every meeting that they could without giving themselves away, so that when Harry taught them they would already know what he was asking. He intended to spend some time with both of them after this meeting.

�Hello and welcome back to the DA!� Harry smiled at the sudden cheers. �I had hoped that once Umbridge was gone and we had a decent DADA teacher we wouldn�t need to meet again. I know a few of you asked to continue our meetings last year and we should have done.� He said whilst looking in Neville�s direction.

�But some of you wouldn�t have seen the importance with the toad gone. But now, now it�s necessary to have the DA again. You could defend yourselves and your homes, your families but there are more people at stake now. The wizarding world is at War. And Hogwarts seems to be at its centre. Not only is Hogwarts one of magic�s greatest strongholds, it contains magic�s future! Voldemort (as always pause for gasps and small screams) knows that a war would devastate our population. So without us he�s fucked. He intends to control Hogwarts to use her protections and to control us!�

He looked round at all of them then, catching their eyes. �You could leave�go home, but he�d find you eventually and he may hurt those you love to get to you. But here, here we all have a better chance. Here we are protected.�

He paused a moment. �And then there�s me. We all know about Voldemort�s obsession with me. He wants to kill me�� his words sent a chill to Draco�s chest. �But he won�t! I have no intention of letting him kill me.� He said that last in so adamant a tone that no one in the room doubted him.

�I�ve learnt more this summer than I knew back then. And if you�re willing to learn I�m willing to teach you again.�

A resounding �Yes!� from over a dozen throats answered him.

Harry�s smile was almost blinding. �Well that�s that then. Now this time is gong to be a little different. The situations changed. My opinions have changed. And so that you know why, I am going to tell you some things I have never told anyone.� He wasn�t smiling anymore, even though Draco knew why Harry was about to tell them his secrets, he still couldn�t believe that he trusted them so much. Things were so different than they were in Slytherin. With that in consideration it was no wonder Draco had started to question whether or not he was actually in the best house.

�Before I was born, a witch made a prophecy, I won�t bother telling you exactly what it was she said. All that matters is that in the end it will come down to me and Voldemort. I have to fight him, only I can kill him and I think that while he still lives, only he can kill me. I�m not sure on that point though and I don�t really want to test out my theory. Anyway Dumbledore heard it and someone else heard a part of it. That person told Voldemort and he set out to kill me that Halloween night. You�d think I�d hate that night but until I was eleven I never knew I should and I never have. Voldemort came to our door, my dad told my mother to take me and run. They duelled and�he was killed. My Mother couldn�t get out of the house. He followed us but my Mother stood in front of me�he killed her when she wouldn�t move. A moment later green light was flying at me and then it was bouncing back and hitting him instead of me. He was ripped from his body and gone, leaving me with this scar.� He said tracing it, his footsteps echoed in the silent room.

Every face was riveted upon his and many of them had tears in their eyes and sad expressions. Some like Susan Bone�s and Neville Longbottom remembering their own losses. The others just struck by the tone of Harry�s voice as he told them things no one else knew.

Only two people reacted differently, both still angry and upset but having heard this all before more worried about him than their own horror. Even Blaise hadn�t heard the exact events of that night and he was one of Harry�s closest friends. But Blaise wasn�t upset at this, he knew it was a hard thing to talk about. It pained him that he had lost his parents to the Dark side and that was nothing compared to what Harry spoke of.

Ron and Draco just watched Harry, wishing they could offer him comfort. Although both of them did spare a glance at Hermione, she was stood between the Patil twins and Lavender Brown. She had tears in her eyes just like they did and acted as though she had never heard any of this before, even though she had. It seemed she had memories of the DA, of training with them but nothing else. She had no idea that it had been her suggestion originally, they had asked her earlier.

�After that Dumbledore became my guardian and many of you will no doubt believe this to be a good thing. But I am not so sure. My Mother had a sister, Petunia Dursley. Dumbledore took me to live with her that very same night. He left me on their doorstep in the middle of the night, just expecting them to take care of me. Never checking on me, not once. How did he know that someone hadn�t just come along, picked me up and taken me away. I could have been taken out of the country and I doubt he�d have realised it. His reasoning is that �while I call home the place where my Mother�s blood dwells� Voldemort can�t harm me.�

�But Dumbledore didn�t take everything into consideration, either that or he didn�t care. The later I am more inclined to believe. I haven�t voiced my fears about the man to many. You in this room, our absent members and a few other friends are the only ones I trust with the truth. Do you know what my earliest memory of living there is? I remember waking up because I had a nightmare, smiling figures disappearing in green light. I screamed and cried for my Mother as any child will when they wake. But my memory does not end with a Mother coming to comfort me, not even an Aunt reassuring me. No I heard a great bellow from upstairs, my Uncle telling me to �Shut the hell up, you freak!� and there was no one there with me, except a spider.�

Draco had to turn his eyes away from Harry and look at the others in the room. It was obvious to everyone there that every word spoken by the black haired youth was the truth. Harry seemed to have drawn into himself, talking more to himself than to anyone in the room. His eyes weren�t seeing them now, he was seeing his memories instead. Draco wanted to go to him, to take the Gryffindor in his arms and not let him go. But the shields that Harry had thrown up kept him from passing as strongly as they would any curses and hexes.

He saw Ron grimace at the mention of the spider. He saw the horror on Hermione�s face as she stood between Parvati and Lavender, her expression just like theirs. Neville and Luna were crying, it was so strange to see her face without that dreamy look.
The Weaslette was crying also, he could see her trying to get close and sidle up to Harry but Weasley kept holding her back. He�d have to thank him later.

�I like spiders; they lived in the cupboard under the stairs, with me.�

There was instant uproar at his words. Many tried to rush up to Harry, including Draco himself, others grabbed at each other for support. But no one could reach Harry he�d closed himself off from them. Keeping them away, so that he could finish what he started and hopefully never have to go through it all again.

�I always lived in the cupboard under the stairs; I can�t remember ever being anywhere else. But I remember the day I left that cupboard, I remember it very well. It was the day I got my Hogwarts letter, it was addressed to me. My first ever letter. It even had my cupboard on it �Harry Potter, the cupboard under the stairs, number 4 privet drive, little Whinging, Surrey�. I didn�t get to read my letter though; they burned it and sent me up to my cousin�s second bedroom worried they were being watched. Dumbledore had to have known I was sleeping in a cupboard, surely McGonagall saw it when she sent the letters out and told him. It was days before I got to read my letter. Only when they had took me away, tried to run. Well�� he gave a funny little laugh. �Beating the freakishness out of me didn�t work, ignoring it didn�t work, so maybe running away from it would.�

Looking around the room, Draco could see the shock on their faces and on some namely the Gryffindors guilt�that they hadn�t noticed anything.

�From Hagrid I heard that I was a wizard and about what had happened to my parents and who I was. The �Boy who Lived�, what a joke. I was just lucky. Ron helped me and�� a quick glance at Hermione. �So did many other people. Many of them are in this room right now. And others once stood with us.�

There was a soft sigh and then he carried on. �My point is that Dumbledore knew what my life was like and he didn�t care. He didn�t want me to leave that place even when I was finally of age. I have looked up these blood wards, of which he spouts so fiercely. He tells me that the protection I get there lasts for the whole year. It does not! That is all a lie. It lasts while I am in residence, no longer. He sends me back there each year to be abused and mistreated because he prefers not to put any personal effort into protecting me himself during the summer. If he does this to me, someone who to all intents and purposes he appears to love�then what has he done to those under his protection that haven�t a name or�great deeds�� he sneered. �to protect them!�

�I ask you, what do you think he would do? I look at my fellow students and I wonder. And I confess my eyes seem to be drawn the most to the house of snakes.� Ignoring their exclamations he carried on. �The odd house out. How many of you have a friend in Slytherin?� As expected no one raised their hands. �Who do Slytherins look to other than their own?� Again no one answered.

�They are children of the Dark side and are doubted because of that. I remind you now of the sorting hats first song�the one he sang the year us seventh years were sorted. When the hat spoke of Slytherin, he spoke of cunning. Not of darkness, evilness or the things so many of you have believed them to be. The qualities of Slytherin house, cunning and a certain disregard for the rules. I admit to having that disregard for the rules myself. And I am in Gryffindor. It makes me wonder what other qualities the Slytherin�s possess. Dumbledore speaks of house unity, the sorting hat has told us repeatedly to trust in unity. But what is being done about it?� He yelled that last to the entire room. He was breathing heavily as though he had run a marathon, so passionate were his words.

�Nothing!� Ron said. He had waited for the right moment to throw his support to Harry�s words and deemed now to be the time. It made others think to hear Ron Weasley agreeing with Harry Potter on unity with the Slytherins. And it made them wonder.

After a moment some of the quicker students realised a few things. Snape was biased towards Slytherin�but didn�t someone have to be? Going over their lessons with them, they remembered earning points when they gave a correct answer but�the Slytherins�? The Slytherins received fewer points than any other house. Each house had lessons with the others and each earned points but the Slytherins they realised answered less and less questions every year. It wasn�t like Slytherins were thick, they couldn�t be it was against their natures. You had to be smart to be cunning, didn�t you?�

Draco Malfoy was a Slytherin and he was second in the year. Blaise Zabini, another Slytherin was fourth this year just behind Harry himself, who seemed to have improved drastically so far this year. In fact that was another thing, if a school was trying to promote unity then why did they inform pupils at the end of each week who was doing the best in their assignments so far? Surely knowing another house was beating you intellectually was enough to spur you on, increasing said rivalry. Especially if it was the one house despised by all.

And then there was Quidditch, rivalry grew out of proportion whenever a game was involved. Students hexed each other constantly and all they got was detentions. The teachers could stop it if they really wanted to.

All this led them to believe that Harry was right. And Dumbledore was manipulating them into keeping the Slytherins alienated. But Dumbledore was right wasn�t he? All Slytherins were evil weren�t they?�

They turned questioning eyes to Harry who seemed to understand what they were asking.

�I want you to go back out into the school and I want you to watch the Slytherins closely. Really look at them, eavesdrop if you have to. Listen to what they talk about, gossip about. Maybe if you do that you will see some good in them. I�m sure they talk about normal things. I�m sure girls talk about shoes, robes and which boys they like just like they do here. And I�m sure everyone talks about Quidditch. Especially after the Prophet reports on the latest league scores. You may even find some of them support the same team as you.�

�If you try, you may realise that not all Slytherins are plotting our demise. I will not lie, some of them may very well be. But if we don�t find out, we�ll never know.�

He could see a few people nodding. �And about Dumbledore�� the thoughtful expressions turned angry. �Outside of this room and outside of these meetings, continue to think of him in a positive light. Or however you thought of him before. He can read your mind if he wishes to. I will be casting a spell on you before you leaves that will not allow you to speak of this to anyone other than those in this room. Neither will it allow you to speak of these things when anyone is within hearing distance. Some people say Dumbledore knows everything�but he doesn�t.� Harry said thinking of Krai, who was currently slithering around the edge of the room. Feeling out the occupants and determining their loyalties. He was sure of them of course but the snake wanted to find out for himself. He would not risk his Master, even amongst his Master�s friends.

�All we can do about Dumbledore for now is act the same. Act like nothing is different while we train to protect ourselves from him. And he does worry me. He isn�t as obvious as the Dark Lord in his schemes and that makes him worse. I don�t trust Dumbledore and I haven�t since fifth year but now I�m old enough to do something about it. I don�t know what he plans but I do know that he will use whomever he can to achieve them. And none of them matter to him really, even me.�

�I think that after Voldemorts gone, he intends to take over. I don�t know how he will achieve this but it makes sense to me. Somehow it just fits and I know�somehow I know that he needs me to do it�� he paused a moment, judging their moods. Seeing that they all were behind him he said the final thing he wanted to say that night. �And so I propose that we change our name. For now I wish the DA to stand for the Defence Association, as one of our number originally suggested. No longer will we be Dumbldore�s Army, first of all we fight for ourselves�and each other. But no longer are we his�those in favour?�

A resounding �yes� filled the room.

***

�You were amazing.� Draco whispered in his ear, his arms wrapping around Harry�s torso, holding him tight as he had wanted to do all night.
�We didn�t get any training done. It took me longer than I expected it to.�
�You achieved more than that tonight. You told them many personal things love, Dumbledore tells them nothing. They remember their first year, with the stone.� Harry just looked at him confused.

�He told us the third floor was off limits. Not why, everything else he gave us a reason. He told you nothing. He doesn�t give us reason to trust him. He doesn�t trust us. But you�you told us all something that, quite frankly is extraordinary. The life you�ve had, it makes you that much stronger in all our eyes.�

�And what happens if I fail, if my strength fails and you all suffer because you know to fear Dumbledore when no one else does?�

�Oh Harry, you�re going to win. I can feel it. I know it.�
�You just say that because you are my mate.�
�Technically I am not your mate until after we have mated. But even if I wasn�t do you really think I could miss what you are?�
�And what am I?� Harry whispered pressing back into Draco�s warmth. They were alone now. The ROR was deserted, Ron and Blaise being the last to leave, both of them talking animatedly as they left.

�A Leader!� Draco said with certainty. He turned Harry towards him, pulling him close. It was not often he was the one doing this. Harry was his dominant, he was the sub and he loved being the one Harry protected. But tonight he would reassure Harry.

Not many people realised how easily the roles reversed in a dom/sub relationship. Nothing was concrete, only sexually would they stay the same. In the bed Draco would always be the sub. There was only one time in a subs life when they were allowed to be dominant. That sweet moment when they were claiming. The thought aroused him terribly. Harry would take him first, asserting his will. Demanding Draco submit. He would fight it of course but Harry would win. And when Harry took him the initial bond would form.

The fist penetration signalled Harry�s dominance over Draco. If Draco had been Muggle nothing further would occur. But when Wizards bonded, it was a partnership. It wasn�t a relationship set in rules like those of man and woman. It was equal, the roles of males could switch.

Being a wizard Draco needed to take Harry or their bond wouldn�t be complete. Draco would take Harry to show he accepted him. And that would be the only time Draco would ever top.

He wanted to know Harry in that way, but he wanted to be owned by him more. It was his nature to want that. He wasn�t a creature, or at least he didn�t think he was. There was plenty of time left for something to manifest. He and Harry did share the same blood, in some way. So it was quite possible but they wouldn�t know for a while.

No he wasn�t a creature (now) but that didn�t stop him from rubbing himself against Harry, wanting the others scent to cling to his flesh. To prove he was owned, dominated�loved.

�I�m not a leader Draco. I�m just doing what I have to do.� Harry said his breath hitching at Draco�s actions.

�You are Harry.�
�No, a leader has to be strong��
�You are strong, stronger than anyone I�ve ever met. And I�ve stood before the Dark Lord. He has a commanding presence, but not even he�who has had infinitely more experience could have held that room the way you did tonight.� Harry just looked at him. �You don�t understand the effect you have on people do you Harry? When they look at you, they see a leader, a beautiful figure that radiates peace and has a certain quality�a man who is approachable unlike so many other leaders. How many times have you been sat at the table for Christmas dinner, Dumbledore spoke to a first year and the first year was awestruck that such a man was talking to him. They would act the same way if he spoke to them again. But you�with you they would be awed but quickly they would see that certain� something that you possess. Just look at the Creevey�s who followed you around everywhere. Do they do that now?�

Harry frowned as he thought. �Collin doesn�t follow me about anymore but they still go all giddy when I talk to them.�
�That�s it. Because you talk to them. They know who you are. Who doesn�t �the boy who lived� and yet you talk to them. Laugh and joke with them, even I bet advise them. Does Dumbledore do anything like that? Only for you. No one else. Why would he? You said it yourself, Dumbledore sees us all as a means to an end, nothing more. He doesn�t see people who have lives, wants, loves�he just sees what he can get out of them. And that�s why you and only you are going to win this war and anything that comes after. You care!�

Harry didn�t agree or disagree. He did think that in a way Draco had a point. But there was more to worry about than physical enemies. He had a chance against them but how was he to fight something he couldn�t see? Something that scared him far more than either of his enemies. The curse was a certainty, whereas death by AK was only a possibility.

He knew Draco was ready to take that next step in their relationship. Draco had feared sex and relationships after he�d learned the role intended for him amongst the deatheaters. But the moment he knew Harry was his mate his body had known, it had just taken his mind a little while to catch up. But with thoughts like that in his head Harry couldn�t blame Draco. Yes Draco might have been ready. But he wasn�t!

He did want to bond with Draco but what Ron called his �hero complex� got in the way. How could he bond with Draco when their deaths seem so certain. Maybe he could defeat Voldemort, but he had no idea what that would do to him. How depleted his magic would be. How could he fight off Dumbledore when he wasn�t ever sure he�d survive the first encounter? Dumbledore wouldn�t act until Voldemort was dead, he knew that. And to force a conflict when he didn�t know the others plans, would be suicide. Did Dumbledore even intend to kill him, could there be worse things?

No Dumbledore didn�t want him able to challenge him.

And then after he�d done all that there was the Deatheaters and the Loyal Order members to fight and a curse no one knew about. How could he tie Draco to him when he could be dead within the week? And if either of them acted so soon, he knew he would have no chance. He and Krai had had no chance to continue their training. They would have to start soon. Gods, he was going to be busy. The DA, school, Quidditch and extra training, not to mention those few precious moments with Draco that he had no intention of ever giving up.

If they didn�t bond Draco had more chance of surviving his death. If they did, then he would die along with Harry.
He would put it off for as long as he possibly could.

They stole a few kisses before they had to leave again.

Harry was thoroughly sick of it all. Of sneaking around, not being able to tell anybody. He was sick and tired of the snake faced bastard that dogged his heals. And that twinkle eyed brother of a goat fucker who stood with a supporting hand on his back and a knife in the other.

But most of all he was sick and tired of the danger to his mate. And worse it was a danger he could see never ending. Even if they got rid of these problems, more would arise. He was the �boy who lived� he attracted trouble. But Draco was worth anything and everything fate could throw at him!

They would be together! No force in this world would stop them, not wrinkled old flesh or ancient magic. He wouldn�t allow it.

A/N�Well I know it was a bit late in coming but I hope it was good enough. This chapter was supposed to be longer but it didn�t work out that way.

Oh and I know it was only said that Aberforth practiced inappropriate charms on a goat, but hey it was a logical step to make. So apologise if that offended but Harry was pissed.

RECOMENDATION

Rewritten Destiny

By mellyfluous

http://hp.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600010773

This is a fairly new fic, it aint finished and it may not be to everyones tastes. Its Harry/Tom with a bit of non con Snape/Harry. Not pleasant. But it�s a bloody good story. Dumbledore and Snape believe Harry is slipping out of their control, they cant have that can they? Oh no. So Dumbles gives Snape permission to use whatever technique he deems necessary to get Harry to comply.

Tom is a lot more sane and decides this is of course wrong, he and Harry start speaking and so on. So you can expect Snape torture and god knows what else in later chapters. This story is the authors first and all I can say is I definitely want more!

It�s already a favourite.
