Flashback

Draco was so happy this morning! Harry woke him up early, they had showered at the same time, so he got a nice view of Harry’s beautiful form, and most importantly; Harry had already apologized to Lucius and explained why they had missed the appointment, so he wouldn’t have to face his father’s wrath!

Draco took a clean set of clothes out, without noticing Harry was watching him dress. “Hey, Draco, have you ever worn anything that wasn’t made from silk?” Draco looked at Harry as if the raven-haired boy was out of his mind. “I guess not,” he said and chuckled, making Draco shiver with lust. Draco quickly finished dressing, and they headed towards breakfast together.

They were happily talking about Quidditch and their classes, though they were soon quieted when Severus stopped them. “Good to see you out of the dorm, Potter. I’d like you to remember that you’re not allowed in a dorm other than your own. As we speak, one of the school’s house-elves will move your things to Gryffindor. You are to stay at your own table and in your own house, or I will have to take points; from both of you.” Harry stared after Severus, as the man walked to the Great Hall.

Draco put a hand on Harry’s shoulder, but the anger still rolled off the younger teen in pressing, tense waves. After a bit, Harry calmed down, but Draco could still feel the angry magic flaring around the other. “I’ll be fine, Draco. We’re still friends, but I don’t want to make your house lose points because of me. I’ll see you in class.” Draco nodded weakly, and they continued to the Great Hall, where they split up sadly.

The Gryffindors all believed Harry had abandoned the Slytherins, because he was a Gryffindor through and through, who’d just infiltrated the snake pit for a single day, so they all clung to him, to hear what dirt he had found on the snakes, as well as to gain his trust, so they could leech off his fame and money. None of them seemed to notice the tense, pressing, angry aura his magic made in the room, so when Harry got up and left the castle to get some fresh air, they of course followed him.

He walked down to Hagrid’s hut, which they all thought to be pretty normal, though his group of followers stopped when he passed the hut and walked towards the forest instead. Hedwig soared through the air, following Harry into the forest with a loud screech. She sat down on his shoulder and nipped his ear carefully. Harry didn’t feel alone with Hedwig on his arm, so he calmly kept walking.

Draco and Lucius were sitting in Lucius’ chambers. Draco was just staring sadly at his cup of tea, and Lucius was having a hard time keeping up the cold, dignified expression as well. They were both worried about Harry. It was now three days ago, that Harry had gone into the forest, and no one had seen or heard from him since. His owl hadn’t been seen either, which just made Draco even more worried. Severus walked into the room. “Lucius, I brought the Pepper-Up potions you asked for…” Severus’ voice faded when he saw how his best friend and godson looked. “Okay, I know you two well enough to know something is gravely wrong, before you’d even let ME see you like this.” He looked at the two blondes, wordlessly demanding an explanation.

Draco looked up shortly, before his gaze fell back on his tea, which was by now cold and tasteless. “Harry’s gone…” he muttered low, not even stopping the sadness in his voice.

Severus looked at Draco. “He’s gone, so what? He’s a spoiled brat, he breaks rules, and he even ran away from school. You have no reason to worry about him; he’s not worth your time.” The potions master sneered. He didn’t like Harry at all.

Lucius looked up at his best friend, his silvery grey eyes dull with sadness and worry. “Sev… You know Draco and I have been looking for our missing partner ever since we found out we were short one person. Even though Harry doesn’t yet feel the bond to us, we feel it towards him, and it’s agonizing to know he’s out there, alone and alive, and we can do nothing to help him.” Severus’ pale face paled even more at hearing that. Harry was their missing mate! No wonder Harry and Draco had suddenly got along so well!

Draco hugged himself and gave out low sobs. Lucius quickly pulled Draco into his arms, comforting the teenager as good as he could. “I’m worried about Harry, Sev…” Lucius continued. “As far as Draco has told me, the Gryffindors have been harassing Harry, and with Harry considering suicide before, it’s worrying me a lot that he’s out there, all alone. Who knows what stupid things he could be doing? The bond has grown so weak! He’s either dying or locked away under strong wards…” Severus watched as his friend cried silently, and he felt like a monster. He had practically forbid Harry and Draco to meet each other outside classes, and now the two people he considered family most of all were hurting because of it! He hurried from the room. He had searching to do.

Harry woke up in a small cave. He felt sore, though he noticed he was sleeping on a soft, yet primitive, bed. He sat up slowly, and he realized his vision was perfect, even though he didn’t have his glasses on. A 7 foot long snake slid out in front of him, making him press against the wall in fear. The snake did not harm him, it merely watched him.

Harry was surprised when the snake hissed and he understood the greeting just as clearly as an English one. He nervously tried to speak parseltongue, and found it fell him just as easy as English. “Who are you? Where am I?” The snake was surprised he could speak the ancient tongue of her kind, and she nodded her head in respect.

She lifted her head and looked straight at him. “I am Nayan. I protect the forest, as it is my nest and my home. You are very pure hearted, child, and I have only respect for someone as pure as you. What brings you to the forest? Did not humans forbid entry to these lands?” Harry smiled softly. Nayan’s voice was soft and motherly to him, and he felt safe when she spoke to him.

Harry looked around. “I had an owl with me when I entered the forest. Do you know if she’s safe? She’s my best friend. And do you know why I suddenly can see so clearly?” Nayan nodded her head, motioning for Harry to come along. He slowly got up and followed the big snake. “Hedwig!” he exclaimed happily, when he saw the owl preening her feathers on a shelf in the room. She hooted happily and flew to his shoulder instantly.

Nayan curled up on a big, flat rock, which was covered in a thick, soft layer of moss. Sun was shining in through a window, and the warmth spread on her body, making her hiss with joy. “I found you passed out in the forest. The spiders were quite eager to have found you. You were lying on wet Life Moss, as we call it here. It’s called that, since water gets some healing powers when it’s been connected with the moss long enough. You must have been out a long time, if your vision has healed as well. I brought you here after I found you. When I was young, a wizard saved me from getting killed. I showed him to the cave, and he made it his home, until he was killed by the centaurs. They never liked you wizards, though I quickly taught them to stay away from my cave after that. Now, child, why are you in these lands? Do you not have that big home outside the forest?” Harry’s smile faded when Hogwarts was mentioned.

He petted Hedwig calmly, before he smiled again. “It’s called Hogwarts. I’ve been happy there until quite recently. I’m Harry, by the way, and I didn’t always look like this. Mere weeks ago, I was thin, fragile and unloved, but when I turned 17, I got my Veela inheritage. My closest friends abandoned me soon after, since they thought I abandoned them for my school rival. You see, we have four houses at school. I’m a Gryffindor and our mark is a lion. Well, my rival is a Slytherin, and their mark is a snake. Our houses are enemies, to say it mildly. I’ve always thought the snakes were the evil ones… No offense meant, of course,” he said softly.

Nayan nodded her head, silently asking him to continue. “Well, when I was to be sorted, I asked to be a lion, while the magical sorting hat wanted me to be a snake. My rival had given me a bad view of the snakes, so I was happy when it let me be a lion. It’s first after I got my Veela inheritage that I found out, that lions don’t seem to mind casting out their friends and family, while the snakes actually seem to care a lot about others, even when it’s someone like me; a lion in the snake pit.” He quieted, letting Nayan know he was done talking.

The big snake nodded her head calmly. “A snake protects the ones it deems worthy of its protection. A lion merely protect the ones strong enough to return the favor. Many snakes are misunderstood, because they feel threatened and bite, or because they escape when they get a chance. It’s not because they’re heartless, they’re just following their instinct. A human isn’t evil if it protects itself with a knife, but a snake is, because it protects itself with poison, which nature has granted it as its protection.” Harry nodded. “I suppose you’d like to go back to… Hogwarts was it?” she asked, watching Harry calmly.

Harry let a hand caress her beautiful scales. “I bet they’re all worried about me. I wonder how long I’ve been away from the castle. If you want, you can come and stay at the castle grounds…” he offered softly.

Nayan’s hissing sounded almost like laughter to Harry, and he couldn’t help the smile that instantly formed. “I will not come to human ground just to live there. I’m coming with you to protect you, if you want me to come with you. You may even call me your pet, if it’ll calm other people from harming us.” Harry smiled and nodded. “Let’s go home then,” she hissed, and led Harry out of the cave. Hedwig hooted happily from Harry’s shoulder. She couldn’t wait to get back to Hogwarts either.

Draco shot up from his seat and ran from the classroom. He had felt the connection! Harry was safe, and he was getting closer! Lucius noticed it as well, though he had more dignity in his actions. “It’s a nice day. You’re all dismissed. Go enjoy the weather until lunch.” He quickly got up, and soon after Draco burst in. It didn’t take them long before they were headed for the forest to find Harry.

The first thing they noticed when they saw Harry was the big snake he was casually talking to in parseltongue. Draco didn’t care about the snake, and instantly ran over and clung to Harry. “How dare you worry me so much!” he burst out. Harry carefully hugged Draco, happy that Hedwig had flown towards the school as soon as they were out of the woods.

Draco stared at the big snake, and suddenly he started trembling. Nayan was hissing, trying to look as threatening as possible, to get the stranger to let go of her new master. “It’s okay, Nayan, he’s a friend. Actually, he’s going to be my future mate, once my body lets me feel the bond. The other one is his father, my other future mate.” Her hissing stopped, and she nudged her head calmly against Draco’s hip, to try and calm him. “Don’t worry, Draco. Nayan won’t hurt you. She was just surprised when you hugged me. I must say, I am too. You’re not very subtle about our future bond, you know.” Draco blushed and stared at Harry.

Lucius walked over, admiring the snake. “Does she understand English? Or do I have to convince you to translate my words about her beauty?” Nayan practically glowed with pride when she heard Lucius’ words, making Harry laugh softly. “Now, Harry, did I just hear you mention a future bond with Draco? Care to explain to us what you mean, so Draco won’t jump to conclusions and jump you?” Draco blushed deeply at his father’s words, and he hid his face in Harry’s chest.

Harry looked at Lucius and smiled softly, soothingly rubbing Draco’s back. “Well, let’s just say an invisibility cloak is a great thing at times,” he said and let go of Draco. “By the way, lock the door next time. I don’t want others to see how hot you two are when you make out.” Harry smirked when both blondes were speechless, and he calmly started walking back to the school.

Nayan quickly followed Harry towards the school building. “Harry, do you think I am beautiful as well?” she asked happily.

Harry smiled softly and looked at her beautiful scales. In the sunlight, she was a beautiful, shimmering silvery emerald color. “I’d say no to bring down your ego, but I’ve been taught not to lie,” he said with a small smirk. At least the Gryffindors would leave him alone now.
