Draco's POV
I jolt awake when a sharp pain fills my body. I open my eyes and see the cold floor staring back at me. I groan as I flip over and sit up. Blaise had shoved me out of my bed! I glare venomously at him, but I only receive a victorious smirk in return. I stand up slowly, wincing in pain as me abdomen fills with a sharp pain.
Sending another death glare at my best mate, I walk over to my chest. I pull out my uniform and over robes. I walk back over to my bed and gingerly sit on it. Having showered last night so wouldn't have to this morning, I unbutton my silky Slytherin green pajama top. Once it's off, I shiver. It's always freezing here in the dungeons.
I quickly, with mastered speed, put on my white top. I stand up and slip out of my pajama bottoms. I slip into my black slacks, then take a seat on my bed. I pull my socks on, then put my nice black shoes on. Retrieving my wand from the bedside table, I pull on my over robes and walk out the door but not before grabbing my silver and green tie.

I enter the Grand Hall and walk over to the Slytherin table while putting my tie on. I claim my seat by Blaise. Pansy sat next to him on his right. They had been wed for the project.
I sigh as I rub my wrist with the mark on it again. I glance around the Grand Hall. I find myself searching for Pott-Harry. My silver eyes don't find him. Stop bloody looking for him! He's not your soul mate!
I find Blaise and Pansy staring at me. I flush and try to put on my classic indifferent Malfoy Mask. I pick up an apple and say "I'm not hungry. I'm gonna go." Before they could protest and make me eat, I leave the Grand hall with the green apple in my hand.

Harry's POV
I smile at Ron as we make our way to the Grand Hall. As I tie my tie, I walk through the door. Only… I didn't. I ran into someone. "Sorry." I say, unknowing who it is. Then, I see it's Draco Malfoy. He gives me a not so cold glare and pushes passed me as he takes a bite of a green apple.
"Where's he going?" Ron asks, curiously. I watch Malfoy… er Draco walk away, a strut in his step. I say "I dunno…"
We enter the Grand Hall and sit at our table. As we start to eat, Hermione dashes over and sits in front of us. "Guys! I found it!" she exclaims.
"Found what, 'Mione?" Ron asks around a mouthful of food. She rolls her eyes and says "The book!" She slams a huge velvet red book on the table, making us and some other Gryffindors jump.
"What is it, Hermione?" I ask, pushing my glasses up the bridge of my nose. She smiles and says softly "It was in the restricted section. It's a book on soul mates."
Ron raises a red eyebrow and say "For Harry?"
Hermione nods. I blink and look at my bandaged wrist. I wrapped it up to hide it. She opens it and turns to a page and begins to read aloud. "The picture above is a picture of the Soul Mate Band. See the swirling thin black designs around the wrist stand for the beauty of love."
I look at the picture it looks exactly like the mark on my wrist. Hermione turns the page and continues to read aloud. "The thicker black lines that don't swirl and just curve or curl represent the bond, the magic that binds these two together (For more on the bond and magic see page fifty-four).
Hermione turns quite a lot of pages before she stops. She glances at me, then at the book. She reads "The Bond. Soul mates have a bond, a special bond. This bond binds them together for life. Even if the two don't fall in love, they are bound to each other if contact consists.
"The contact needed to create the bond and form the Soul Mate Band is something of which is pretty obvious. A kiss. It can be simple and quick, or it can be long and passionate. The only other thing that will create this bond and Band is-" Hermione breaks off with a blush. This makes me curious, and I turn the book towards Ron and me.
I read it aloud where she left off. "…is sex, or as some call it love making…"
Ron turns as red as his hair. For a second I wonder why, then I realize what I just read out loud. I redden slightly. The book was implying that I either kissed Draco or… had sex with him.
I gulp and laugh nervously. Hermione takes the book and continues to read for it. "The bond, once created, hooks the emotions of the two together. They will start to feel and experience what the other is. For example, say a male and female created a bond through a kiss. The male went to work as usual, but the woman found out her mother died. She became sorrow-filled and depressed.
"The man started to feel down and depressed as well. But notice how he wasn't sad. He was depressed. The woman's strongest emotion at that moment was depression. So, the man felt that one and not the sorrow because it drowned it out.
Hermione looks up at me and says "You getting all this?" I nod and blink a few times. "It's a lot to take in, especially if Draco Malfoy is supposedly my soul mate."
"Yeah…" Hermione says, looking thoughtful. Then, she says "You should go find him! You have an excuse! Your partners! We need to find out if he's your soul mate. Try to figure out if he has a Soul Mate Band. If he does it will be on his left wrist since your's is on your right wrist."
I look at her startled. She's not gonna leave it till I do this. I sigh and get up. Ron is still stunned speechless and red. I smirk at that and leave the Grand Hall.

Draco's POV
I take a seat by the lake under a nice shady tree. I have free period this morning. I close my eyes and relax against the firm birch wood. I take a small breath. I feel my body become at peace. Then, I feel a burning on my wrist and sit up. I open my eyes and unwrap it.
I suddenly feel embarrassed for some reason. My cheeks heat up, and I find myself laughing nervously. What is going on? I thought confused.
I stop laughing, and my cheeks become less red. Then, I hear a crack of a stick. My head snaps around. My cheeks flush when I see none other than Harry bloody Potter. I clear my throat and say "Why is it always you that finds me?"
It was a rhetorical question, but he answers anyway. "I don't. But just be glad it was me and not Parkinson or Zabini. Why were you red and laughing like a nervous hyena?"
I look at him nervously as he sits by me. He leans back against the birch, and I stare at him. How long had he been standing there watching me?
"I… uh…" I swallow hard as his emerald eyes lock with my silver. I find I can't breathe, and I can't look away. I'm mesmerized. I swallow hard, and with all my will power look away and reply "I don't know…"
This interested Harry. "What do you mean?" he asks curiously.
I look at him and say "I don't know. I just suddenly without warning felt embarrassed. I couldn't help it. My cheeks turned red, and I started to laugh. And why am I telling you this? I should be telling Blaise and Pansy."
I stand up to leave, only to have the famous Harry Potter grab my arm, standing now as well. He looks at me firmly and does what makes my highly uncomfortable and vulnerable. He turns my arm up to face him and rips off the wrapping I have around my left wrist, hiding my mark.
His eyes widen as he looks at it. I feel my cheeks heat, and as his right hand moves toward mine, my wrist burns with a painful intensity. I cry out, and I hear Harry do so too. I fall to the ground when Harry releases my wrist. He falls as well onto his bottom.
I look at him wide-eyed and breathing heavy. "What happened?" I exclaim nervously. Harry glances at his wrist which is wrapped up, then at mine. He removes his bandages and shows me a mark exactly identical to mine.
"I think I just found my soul mate." he says as I stare at his wrist.

I swallow hard and am hindered speechless. I can't find words to say. Thankfully, Harry saves me from further humiliation. "Draco… Hermione stole a book from the restricted section that I think we both need to read. And I know why you were red and laughing. It's because I was embarrassed at something I read in the book Hermione found."
I simply nod. "And if you don't want to be seen with me we can pretend we're doing it as part of our Marriage 101 project." He says.
I nod again, and I find my eyes going back to his wrist. I want to run my fingers over it to make sure he really was my soul mate. I mean is. I feel his gaze on me. I look up and realize we're closer together than I had thought. He leans closer so our breaths mingle. My breath catches in my chest as my heart pounds faster.
He looks at me dead in the eye and says "Do you want to try this out? Dating?"
Inside, I'm screaming for joy, yelling Yes! Yes! YES! Please! But on the outside I showed no emotion. I slowly nod, saying "Sure. Why not?"
Harry smiles at me and once again returns to lying against the tree shading us. I lean back till my back rest against it. Harry closes his marvelous eyes and puts his hands behind his head, relaxing.
I marvel at how fast he seems to be able to relax. I smile softly, a small smile mind you, at his closed eyes. I suddenly feel at peace as well. I close my eyes and relax against the tree. I move slowly so that I'm lying next to him. Of course, not touching him.
After a few minutes, I hear light snoring. I open my eyes and look at Harry. He looks happy. I smile, a true smile at his sleeping form. Subconsciously, I lean down and just barely grace his lips with mine. A second long kiss with no hurry. I slowly sit up and watch him. His lips curl up in a small smile.
I sigh, having never felt so relaxed in my life. If this is how it will feel to date Harry, I probably won't mind much…

Harry's POV
Draco and I take our seat in Transfigurations. We are required (not that I mind) to share a desk being 'married'. Professor McGonagall walks in and says "Alright, now students. I have an important announcement…" she stood in front of the class.
Everyone's heads perk up, now listening. "You will be getting a room to share with your… spouse. You will be required to share it, but you don't have to share a bed. Now, through this we will see if your compatible with the person the Hat chose for you."
I glance at Draco, and he does the same. He hold each other's gazes. He offers me a small smile which I return. Luckily, no one noticed this exchange. We had agreed to keep our relationship a secret for now.
"Now, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, please come up here." she says. Hermione and Ron stand up and go up there. "Now, pull a piece of parchment out of the Sorting Hat, please."
Hermione sticks her hand in. She pulls out the slip of paper and reads it aloud "Twins."
"Congratulations, your going to have twins."
Ron's eyes widen and he looks ready to faint. Hermione smiles and hhelps support Ron to his seat. "Come by after class and I will put the simulation spell on you." They nod.
That got me thinking… Why didn't we get to choose how many?

I smile at Draco as we enter our new dorm. The common room is red and gold and sliver and green. It's half Slytherin and half Gryffindor. There's a soft cream colored couch in front of a fireplace, which is made out of black marble. A nice silver rug, rimmed in velvet green, lay in the center of the room. There are two doors, one on either side of the room.
The one on the left leads to the bedroom. The one on the right leads to the huge bathroom. We go into the bedroom and look around.
The floor is cherry oak, and the walls are a soft silver. An emerald rug lays on the floor near the marble fireplace. Two beds rest side by side near the wall of windows (the whole wall is a window). The bed on the left had Slytherin green silk sheets, and the one on the right had Gryffindor red cotton sheets.
I look out the window and realize it's not a real window. It shows whatever I want it to. Right now, I see the Hagrid's hut. I glance at Draco, who's walking over to the window. His silver eyes widen, and I ask softly "What do you see?"
Draco looks at me, and I glance back out the window. It shifted. It now shows my old house… when my parents were alive… I glance back at Draco. He's watching me. "What do you see?" he asks softly.
"I see my old house…" I say softly while looking down at my feet. After a deep breath, I ask again, looking up at him "What do you see?"
He smiles slightly and says "I see a meadow, covered in freshly fallen snow. It's beautiful."
This makes me smile, and I find myself staring at him. He's gaze turns to me when he feels my gaze. I feel so tempted to kiss him, but I look away with difficulty to avoid that.
Draco suddenly moves. I watch him go and sit on the silver-ish crème couch in front of the fire. I slowly stand up and join him.
I gently pull him back against me till he's resting against my chest. His blonde hair against my white tee-shirt. My arm draped loosely around him, I watch the beautiful flames dance carelessly in the fireplace.
I feel and hear Draco take a deep relaxed breath. I glance at him. His eyes are closed peacefully. His breathing is slow and even. Then, I realize he's asleep. A soft smile graces my lips. His face is turned up towards mine. A few strands of platinum blonde hair hangs in his face. I gently brush it away, giving me a view of his flawless face.
I hear him sigh in his sleep. This makes me smile even more. I look back at the fire, feeling more at peace than ever before.
