The next morning Harry sat in his usual seat in the great hall. He was able to look his fill at Draco without being noticeable. He ogled him as he ate breakfast. He watched as Draco put a breakfast sausage in his mouth. Then licked his fingers slowly; Harry watched the motion with fascination. The way his lips circled around his finger then drew it in his mouth.
A shiver went through his body at just the thought of last night. He remembered how those hands held him close and how those lips devoured him. Licking his own lips hoping to try and recapture Draco’s taste on his lips. He wondered where he learned how to kiss like that. His lips should be marked as a lethal weapon.
Harry sighed so many revelations have come out in the last couple of months. The one good thing like finding out who his mate is and he cannot enjoy it. The animosity between He and Draco is real. Will they ever be able to look beyond that? He knows that he can. Will Draco accept him as his mate or reject him once he finds out.
A stolen kiss will not fix the hate Draco feels for him. For now he will hold on to what they shared last night. He will have to try and keep his distance and identity from Draco for just a little bit longer.
“…ry….arr…Harry!” jumping at the sound of someone calling his name. He looked away from staring at Draco to see Ron and Hermione sitting in front of him. Ginny was sitting to his left where Neville usually sits.
“I've been trying to get your attention for the last ten minutes, mate.” Ron told him.
“What do you guys want?” he snarled at them.
He backed away when Ginny tried to touch him. “We haven't seen you or spent time with you since we have been back.” She said with a longing on her face.
Who did she think she was fooling. He knew that all her longing looks and touch were lies. Taking a deep breath hoping the anger was out of his voice.
“I've been busy studying, with NEWT’s coming up, I want to make sure I am prepared. Plus, I am thinking about a different career option.”
“Career options? What are you changing it to mate? I thought you and I were going to be Auror? That’s why we tailored our schedules for that specifically.”
Shrugging his shoulders “when I first got to the Wizarding World, I thought that being an Auror was the only option open to me. Everyone expected me to be one because that is what my father and Sirius were. But, after this summer I thought about wanting to do something different. When I was in muggle grade school I always like numbers math was one of my favorite subjects. During the summer I read Numerology and Grammatica, the theory of Numerology, I found it very interesting. I am thinking about becoming an Arithmancer. I have been meeting with Professor Vector every other night after class, she has been helping me get caught up in order to take my NEWT’s.”
“Harry it’s about time you took in different interest other than the Auror program. But why didn't you tell us? Why keep is a secret? Being an Arithmancer is very challenging. Are you sure you're up to the challenge? We all know you're not very focused when it comes to your studies.” Hermione asked him in that condescending tone he has grown to hate.
“I was not keeping it a secret, I have just been too busy trying to keep up with my studies and everything else. I have also decided to take a vested interest into my family vaults and estates. Yes, to answer your question Hermione I believe I can handle it. Do you have so little faith in me?”
At the mention of his family vaults and estates, they seem to stiffen. He carried on as if he did not notice. He was still not ready to address them on what they did to him.
“Hey mate, so you want to go flying later? Quidditch season is about to start” Ron asked. His voice has a nervous shake to it.
Again pretending not to notice their behavior “I can’t Ron, Neville and I are studying together later. He’s helping me with my Herbology, and I'm helping him with his defense. Besides, I'm not playing quidditch this year.”
“What! It’s our last year. You have to play, you're the youngest and best seeker we have,” He argued.
“Quidditch is not everything Ron, there are more important things going on in life,” said Harry.
“Yeah, like what?” He asked
“Oh, I don't know, like the bloody war, or the fact that a madman has been trying to kill me every year. But maybe that’s not important to you.” Harry was starting to get really angry he can feel it. He could not talk to them anymore. They were starting to ruin his good mood.
“You've been spending an awful lot of time with Neville, why is that Harry?” Ginny asked. Her arms were crossed under breast pushing them up so that he would notice. However, it was the angry look on her face that he paid attention to.
“Neville and I are just friends Ginny. I have never had cause to doubt his friendship.” He snapped at her. Gathering his books. “Excuse me I would like to get to potions early before Snape has cause to give me detention.” He walked out of the great hall before they could say anything else.
It was true he wanted to get to the potions classroom. Hoping that he could talk to Snape before the rest of the class. He received a couple of letters from Remus, he just hasn't responded to him yet. He is not sure what to say. He walked into the dungeons, stepping into his potions class. He saw Snape sitting at his desk looking over parchments, with his usual snarky look on his face.
Walking further into the classroom, he cleared his throat trying to get the Professors attention. “Umm…Professor…do you have a…. a few minutes?”
“What is it do you want Potter? As you can see I am busy grading what you dunderheads call an essay.”
“I wanted to talk to you about the letters you received from Gringotts.” Harry watched as Snape laid his quill down slowly. He reached for his wand pointed it to the door. It closed muttered a silencing charm. Putting his wand down he got up from his desk. Walked over to Harry and hugged him.
This was not what Harry expected. He expected Snape to be sarcastic, or even condescending. He expected to get yelled at or rejection for just wanting to talk. What he did not expect was affection. Lifting his arms slowly he encircled them around Snape waist buried his face into his robes soaking up his scent and affection.
Snape pulled back holding Harry back and stared at his face. “You have her eyes. I always thought they were the most beautiful jewels I ever saw. They always say that he smile was captivating, but her eyes were arresting.”
“Is that why you hate me?”
“I never hated you Harry. Your Father and Black yes, them I despised. But, you…what I felt for you was guilt. I felt guilty for taking your mother away from you.” A tear streaks down his face as he spoke. Harry saw the pain in his eyes.
“Did you love her?” he asked.
“She was my sister in all but blood” was his reply.
Looking at the clock, he realized they had five minutes before students would start showing up for class. “We have so much to talk about, Remus has been worried sick. Why have you not responded to his owls?”
Stepping out of Severus arms he walked over to his desk. “I’m not sure what to say to him.”
“Ok, I tell you what come back after dinner and we will talk some more. I will send an owl to Remus to let him know you need more time. How is that?”
Harry nodded and agreed with the idea “That should work.”
They charmed away the tearstains from their faces. It showed no sign they had a tender moment. Harry opened his potions book, while Severus opened the door and took down the silencing charm. Minute later students entered the classroom. Once all the students arrived Severus started class.
_____________________________________________
Draco was having a good day. The thoughts of his mates’ lips lingered in his mind all day. His lips were soft, his body was lithe, and he fit so perfectly in Draco arms. Not knowing what he looked like was the only thing that bothered Draco. Sitting at breakfast he looked over the face in the hall to see if anyone or anything would stand out to him. Granted his mate would not have their wings out. He remembered that his mates’ hair was long; it was as black as midnight.
Looking around he noticed that none of the boys in school hair was as long as the one he saw last night. Maybe he has wearing glamour’s to hide the length. He will have to pay close attention to everyone, especially the boys. Smiling again he thought about the kiss. Rubbing his thumb absently across his lips a happy feeling settled inside of him. He sniffed the air to see if he could catch a whiff of his mate. Nothing. Sighing he realize this is going to be harder than he thought.
His mate was good at hiding himself. He was a Malfoy after all, and Malfoy’s never give up when it’s something they want something. He was also a Slytherin for Merlin sake. It’s time he used some of that cunning and sneakiness that we are known for. With his mind made up Draco pulled his thoughts away from his mate and tune into the conversations around him.

___________________________________________________________________
After dinner Harry made his way back to the dungeons, he was nervous and excited at the same time. This talk will clear up a lot of misconceptions between him and Snape. Harry wondered if he should tell him about his inheritance. He will have to see how the conversation goes before he reveals everything to Snape. Stepping inside the classroom, he saw that Snape was not there. He walked over to his office door, knocked on it and waited for answer.
When no response came, he decided to sit and wait for a bit. He pulled out his books and started his homework. Thirty minutes later, Snape walked in.
“Potter, you are here. How long have you been waiting?”
Looking up at his Professor “not long Professor. When I saw that you were not here I decided to get some homework done.”
“How are you fairing this semester?”
They were stalling Harry could tell, Snape was a man that did not show his emotions. After this morning Harry figured he was making sure that it did not happen again.
“I think I'm doing pretty well so far. You're not breathing down my neck in potion’s so I'm able to concentrate and not get nervous.”
Nodding in agreement. Snape took out his wand waved it at the locked door, placed another silencing spell like this morning. Only this time he added an alarm just in case someone tried to come in unannounced. Turning around he saw Harry staring at him. They stared at each other, both unwilling to break the contact or silence around them. Clearing his throat Severus started the conversation. But, Harry beat him to it.
“Did you know you were my magical guardian?”
“No, I didn’t. I didn't even know about the will. I was already spying for the light side. Remus was on a mission when your parents died. When I got to the house that night you were already gone. Dumbledore had already taken you. He refused to tell anyone where you were, only that you will be well cared for.”
Harry snorted at the last comment. “Well cared for my arse. I was treated worse than a house elf. Beaten and starved. I didn't even know I was a wizard until I got my Hogwarts letter. Do you know how it was addressed?” Severus shook his head. “Harry Potter, Cupboard Under the Stairs.”
To say that Severus was shocked was an understatement. “All my life I have been lied to. Do you know what my relatives told me about my parents?” Again Severus shook his head. “They told me my parents did not want me, my father was a drunk and my mother a whore. They told me my father killed them both because they were driving drunk. And, they were forced to take me in. All my life I thought my parents hated me, and, that they didn’t want me. Do you know how much it hurt to know they died for me instead? I wanted to die when I found out. I had no friends of my own growing up. Dudley my cousin would always scare them off. The clothes I wore were his hand me downs. Anyone that showed me a bit of kindness I grabbed on to it. Maybe that’s why I gravitated to the Weasleys and Hermione so quickly. But, in the end they lied to me too.”
They were silent again after Harrys’ confession. The life that the poor boy had was not a good one. They had been told lies, Dumbledore told them all that Harry would live like a prince. Severus had to ask, he needed to know what Harry meant, “What do you mean by that Harry?”
Taking a deep breath, “Dumbledore has been paying them, with my money to spy on me.”
“WHAT!!” was all Severus could say.
“It’s true. I saw the evidence when I went to see the goblins. Dumbledore, Molly, Ron, Ginny and Hermione have all had access to my vaults. Dumbledore and Molly before I started Hogwarts. The rest after I started. I also, heard Ron and Hermione talking about charms and hex’s they have all placed on me.”
“After our first occlumency lesson, and I saw what I saw in your mind. I did become concern. I went to the Headmaster and voiced my concerns. He told me to ignore it. You are obviously, doing a better at emptying your mind than we thought. I should not have listened to him. But, I was also blinded by my guilt and hate that I did not want to believe what I saw.”
Harry looked down at his desk, and then spoke. He did not want to see Severus face with what he was about to say. “Until this summer I hated you too. I hated that you judged me because of my father and Godfather. I do not condone their actions to you. What they did was wrong. I hate bullies; they pick on someone they deem weak, without trying to figure out their strengths. I didn't even know you and my mother were friends. I knew nothing of you and the Wizarding World. Yet, through all of that hate I respected you, I still do.”
Severus did not know what to say. Nodding his head he accepted Harrys’ words. “We need to check and see what spells were place on you.” Was the only he could think to say.
“How do we do that Professor?”
“Stand up, and when we are alone like this or with Remus it’s Severus” Harry stood up. Severus waved his wand in an intricate manner at Harry. He could tell that Harry was wearing a very strong glamour. No one would be able to tell unless they saw him put it on. “Is there a reason you're wearing a glamour?”
“I came into my creature inheritance as well as magical on my birthday. I am not ready to show it to you as yet. I think Remus should be there for that. There are other things that need to be said that he should hear. Is there a way to see the spell around the glamour?”
“I can, give me a few minutes.” He waved his wand around Harry. “Revelabit,” a blue light came out of his wand. It swirled around Harry. Beside him words started to appear. He studies Severus’s face as each word appear, he did not like the worry he saw on his face.
“You had seven spell that were put on you. The dominantur and magicis dolor, were placed on you were eighteen months old. He pointed to each spell as he spoke. “Suadibilis was placed after you got to Hogwarts. Along with the amicitiam incantatores and carmine confundamus. Cantus amoris was placed in your fourth year and again in your sixth.”
“Do you know who put them there? And if they are still working?”
“All but the Cantus amoris was placed by the Headmaster. Ginerva Weasley did the other. It seem that whatever your creature, and magical inheritance is, it was strong enough to cancel out the spells.” Severus canceled the revelabit spell and watched Harrys’ face change from hurt to anger.
It there anything that the bastard won't do to keep me under his thumb, Harry thought. “I never had a chance did I? If my inheritance did not happen, I would have continued to live my life according to Albus Dumbledore. Completely oblivious to what was going on around me? Well it’s too bad for him that I found out. I’m going to kill the bloody bastard for fucking with my life.”
“Your, life is your own. No one should have the right to dictate how you choose to live it. Remus needs to know what is going on.”
“The first Hogsmeade weekend is this weekend. He can meet me at Hogshead we can talk then.”
“I will send him an owl. No doubt the Headmaster is watching your correspondence.”
“Thank you, for listening” He said with a shy smile. He was feeling a bit vulnerable for that he revealed tonight.
Pulling him into a hug, for the first time since entering the room. “I’m here for you Harry. I know our past has been rocky. But, I would like for us to start out on a better foot for our future.”
Harry gathered his things and left the classroom. Instead of going to his dorm he went to the Astronomy tower again. It was his go to place when he needed to think. Putting his books down, he undid the tie from his hair. He took off his school robes, tie and shirt. Dropping his glamour, his wings were free once more. Thinking back to his conversation with Severus. For the first time since the summer, he felt some of the weight he has been carrying has been lifted.
“You're here” stiffening at the voice he was caught unaware again. He needed to learn to pay better attention to his surroundings. “Are you going to let me see you this time or run off again?”
Draco could not believe it. The second night in a row he caught his mate again. He had come here to think; walking in here he saw the figure standing in one of the corners with little light. The only thing telling him it was his mate where his wings. “You're not ready to see who I am.” His mate said. He did not recognize his mates voice.
“Then tell me your name” there was silence between them for a second “Evan. My name is Evan.”
“Well Evan, I am Draco. Do you know what we are to each other?”
Evan shook his head “We are destined for each other.” Draco study what he could see of Evan from his back and arms. He was right his hair was long with the color of midnight. He could see some of the fire design of Evans’ mating tattoo. His seem more angry and blazing than Dracos’.
“Why are you not ready for me to see you?” Draco walked closer to Evan. He touched his wings gently with the tip of his finger. Evan shivered at his touch.
Shifting his wings to cover his face from the light, he turned to face Draco. Harry was going to tell him, the moment he looked up at Draco through his wings words failed him. He reached up to the back of Draco's neck and pulled him down for a kiss. He was instantly overwhelmed by the sweet taste of Draco, and Harry wanted more.
Draco pulled Evan into him as he explored the depths of his mouth. He ran his tongue along Evans lips, feeling his canines drop down; his need to claim Evan was riding him hard. Draco groaned when Evan ran his tongue quickly across his own before diving into his mouth. This kiss was just as passionate as the one they shared last night. When Evan’s body started to shiver he knew he had to pull away before he claimed him right here and now. Keeping his eyes closed, he pulled away from Evan. He pulled their foreheads together.
Taking a deep breath, he wanted to memorize Evans scent. He wanted Evan to know he will not be getting away so easily. “I am going to let you run for now, but be warned I am coming after you. And, when I catch you I will never let you go.”
Harry nodded his head yes, this was Draco way of staking partial claim, “I understand, Dominant” he whispered.
Draco pulled him in for one more passionate kiss. He stepped back from Evan turned his back to him; then walked out of the tower leaving him to his thoughts.
