"So whose patronus made the dementor flee Harry?" asked Dumbledore with at knowing smile. "Ron’s" mumbled Harry. Dumbledore didn't look shocked as Harry thought, but then again he never seemed to be shocked. "Was it like all the other times?" Dumbledore asked. "No, " whispered Harry knowing that he would have to reveal the truth soon. "What makes this time different?" Dumbledore asked.
Harry thought a moment before giving his answer "I heard someone else in my head". "Ahh and does is this someone else a person you have great feelings for?"
Harry's head shot up, and he saw a glint in Dumbledore’s eyes. "Harry I know that there is something you’re not telling me. But whether you tell me or not it is for you to tell. Voldemort will find any way to hurt you, and this someone may be a tool he can use. Be careful that no one knows who for serious misfortune may fall upon them."
Harry grew somber knowing that the truth must be told here. "It’s someone that no one would suspect, sir" Harry replied.
Dumbledore’s smile grew for an instant then vanished. "Let me tell you something Harry, that might help and serve as a warning to. As you know, I never married, because in my younger years, I met someone whom I could not marry. We fell in love. Though today, I could have married him as times have changed. But then I thought to hide that from others our love. We devised a plan to explain why we were always together. When people asked, we said we were brothers." Harry almost choked for a min. "You mean that guy in the picture that moody showed me isn’t your brother?" "No, Harry, we were lovers. I knew it would be hard for others to accept, so we thought of a better story. Grindlewald found out and became jealous. He had feelings for me far beyond the friendship we shared. He attacked the sister of my love. I wasn’t able to stop him, Alberforth, still blames me. But that is what inevitably drove me to be able to defeat him. Now we are still miles apart, and there is nothing I can do. I know that you were not alone tonight Harry. Be careful not to let others on to what’s going on. It will be hard for you to pass off Mr. Malfoy as your brother" he said with a knowing smile.
"h-how’d you know?" Harry asked, knowing Dumbledore had a way of knowing even when you do not say anything. Dumbledore’s eyes shined as he answered, "I see it in your eyes, and his. I was wondering when you two would finally figure each other out. I was hoping that you would find the use of the invisibility cloak to help. I am surprised it took you so long. But tell me how did Mr. Malfoy survive the attack?"
Harry thought a moment "I am not sure, I just know that I covered him so the dementor couldn't kiss him." Dumbledore picked up Harry’s left hand and smiled “that would explain this then. You two are now connected even more so than Voldemort and yourself. This shares much of the same properties as your first, but since it was inflicted by love, that could be very good indeed"
Harry was dumfounded, he just stared at the scar still red from its freshness in the shape of half a heart.
~~~~~~~~Slytherin Common Room~~~~~~~~~
Draco suddenly felt a sharp stab on his left hand and looked down to notice a bright red whelp that looked like the right half of a heart. He could not explain it, but he knew that Harry was thinking about him just then.
~~~~~~~~Harry’s Bedroom~~~~~~~~
When Harry finally went to sleep that night, his nightmare started out as they always had. Harry was at the front of the maze while everyone was already inside. He made his way to the entrance and found himself standing in the middle of the maze. The tri-wizard cup was gone, and in its place was Draco lying on a soft bed of grass. Harry looked around for any sign of attackers and saw none. The moon was shining so bright despite that, it was only half a moon tonight.
Draco's hair was silver in the moonlight. Harry stepped closer to the sleeping form and ran a finger over his cheek. His eyes fluttered open and stared into emerald pools. "Where are we?" he whispered. "In my dream I think," Harry said. They gazed at each other lost in each other’s eyes. Both men felt like they were being drawn into the soul of the other. Two light blue, orbs danced, one in each other’s eyes. Slowly they were drawing closer to the surface. Harry’s breath started to speed up, anticipating the joining. The orbs barely brushed the outline of one another, when suddenly they were falling away from each other, hands grasping at air for one another.
Harry awoke with Ron shaking his shoulder. "Harry wake up you’re going to be late. Did you have another nightmare? “Ron asked with a bit of concern in his voice. Harry looked up at Ron and smiled "I had a dream, but not from Voldemort"
"Ugh don't tell me, I don't want to know," Ron said.
"You’re not mad?" Harry asked hesitantly.
"Just as long as Malfoy doesn't hurt you then the ferret won't have to worry about me bloodying up his nose," he said.
"He isn't going to act different in the halls you know.” Harry replied.
"I know he can't its ok, neither am I," said Ron with a wicked grin.
With that Harry and Ron got ready and went downstairs where Hermione was waiting for them.
"We got potions today Harry," she said with a smile, "and Dumbledore is teaching us something new today in Defense against the dark arts. I wonder what more there is out there."
‘More than we could ever know,’ Harry thought to himself as they left the common room heading for potions class since he missed breakfast.
They all filed in noiselessly and found their seats. Harry was amazed that he made it to his sixth year of potions. Snape wasn't happy he had to let Harry in after he passed his O.W.L.s with flying colors. Then Snape wasn't happy about anything concerning Harry.
"Today we are to be doing a very difficult potion, one you might have heard of before if you were paying attention. The Mandrake potion helps when the subject has been petrified and returns the subject to normal. The instructions are one the board, and in a months’ time we will check the progress on petrified beetles," Snape drawled.
With a wave, the instructions were appeared on the board, and the class set to work. Thankfully, for the class the mandrakes were already dead and you couldn't hear the screams. Mandrakes screams could kill if heard from a fully-grown one. Snape sat at his desk scratching away with his quill on parchment when he looked up, he saw a strange sort of smile come over Potter, and saw the direction of it was intended towards Malfoy. He knew something strange indeed was going on here.
Snape got up and started walking over to where Harry was chopping his Mandrakes "Potter, did you read the instructions? What does it say about the chopping?" Snape asked with a sneer.
Harry looked up knowing that Snape was bound to find something amiss
"Chop mandrakes length wise before mashing," he read.
"And are you chopping lengthwise Mr. Potter?" Snape replied, then said, "No your chopping at an angle" With a flick of his wand the mandrake was gone, and a new one was in its place.
"Try again potter!" he spat.
Harry started chopping again his rage was building, but he knew better than to say anything at this point. Harry managed a sideways glance at Draco, who gave him a sympathetic smile and went back to chopping.
Just as the class filtered out and Harry was at the door, he heard "Potter and Malfoy stay behind!" Snape bellowed.
They both stopped dead in their tracks. Draco almost cringed as he managed a slight sneer, "out of my way Potter" and swept past him. Harry just followed behind wondering what Snape wants.
"Sit" Snape ordered toward two chairs opposite him. Once they were settled, Harry tried not to squirm because of his nerves.
"So I noticed a difference in you two, what are you planning? I can't believe Malfoy would let you get him in trouble, so there must be some magic must be at play here."
Harry got a defiant look on his face before replying, “there is nothing going on, I wouldn't associate with Malfoy if my life depended on it."
Draco just sat quiet not wanting to say anything.
"So you’re not going to tell the truth I see, I will just have to pull it out of you." and in a flash Snape’s wand was out as he said "Legilimens!"
Harry braced himself, but nothing happened. Snape looked shocked. "So you have been practicing. However, no one can close it without an entrance first. What did you do so I can't get in?"
Harry gave a triumphant smile “that’s for me to know and you to find out"
That enraged Professor Snape even more. "I will find out from him then," he said.
Snape waved his wand, but before he could finish Harry yelled "Protego", he was a bit late in that just that instance Draco slumped in his chair and Snape was madder than ever.
"How dare you interrupt me" Snape hissed.
"How dare I? How dare I what? Protect an innocent bystander from your wrath on me... or should I say your anger at my Father!" Harry shouted.
"You don't know the first thing Potter!" Snape snapped.
"Don't I ? I saw it all I know how bad you were treated, I understand that feeling. I get that treatment every time I am at the Dursely's, each time in the hall with Malfoy sneering trying to hex me at every turn, and I get that from you when I have done nothing to you. You breathe down my back at every turn; accuse me of lying and breaking every rule. Turns out that without me, things would be a whole lot worse off if you had succeeded in getting me expelled!" Harry shouted as his hold on his emotions snapped. Just the thought of someone using Draco to get to him, tore at him so much, control was out of his reach.
Snape was stunned by the outburst. He was at a loss for words. Harry took advantage of the momentary shock, “And one more thing professor I am not my Father!"
With that said, he grabbed Draco who was just waking, probably from the shouting, and dragged him out of the dungeon.
Snape was sputtering behind them "get back here Potter". They didn't turn around.
