Sál af Ás
Harry and Draco lay on the soft carpet of grass. Breathing heavily, hearts beating rapidly, hands clasped tightly. Unable to speak, they just stared at each other, wondering what it was that just happened to them.
The soft glow from the light spilling into their private retreat seemed to shimmer and form itself into an unrecognizable shape. As the unidentifiable shape started to move, Harry and Draco did not even notice anything had happened until clothing shimmered over their forms. Soft pale fabric, thin, but warm. Staring at each other clothed in what seemed to be long tunics, Harry and Draco both were anxious.
"What just happened?", Draco asked in a quavering voice.
"I don't know, but it seems that someone is about to Join us," Harry said, grasping his wand tightly. He moved slowly, but with purpose, to put himself between Draco and the being approaching them.
The figure seemed to solidify with each inch closer to Harry and Draco. Harry could make out long flowing silver hair that reached the waist of a woman. Her face perfectly symmetrical with silver eyes, and pale skin, delivering a profound beauty that can only be described as celestial. She wore a similar tunic as Harry and Draco, that fitted her slender form and flowed as she moved closer to the pair.
"I am Vona, I come to help in your understanding of who you are." She said softly with a lilting accent.
"Are you friend or foe?" asked Harry, not once relaxing his stance in front of Draco.
"I am your guide, I do not have any animosity towards you, You and your bonded, are the Soul of Love in your time, born once every 2,000 years." She replied, tact and truth were in her words. Those words seemed to wrap around Harry and Draco like a cloak, feeding them strength and warmth.
Moving slowly around Harry, Draco stared in awe of the lady before them. Finding his voice he said, "Are you certain it is us, this has not been documented in over 2,000 years."
Harry looked quizzically at Draco then turned to the woman, "Please explain, I have never heard of this, nor understand it's meaning."
"Since the beginning of time, Love was always present. When wizards and witches were first infused with magic, and the rest of the beings of this world were created, Love was there, separate from all the beings. Harsher emotions gripped the world and chaos reigned with war. Love was saddened by the torment of this world, and decided to dwell in a being to try to bring peace. A witch became jealous of the wizard who hosted Love, and cast a horrible spell trying to kill Love for all time. The spell only succeeded in splitting love in two, while killing the host. Love fled and filled the nearest beings, two babies born to separate parents. As each child grew, they were drawn inexplicably towards each other and became bound to each other. They were a powerful pair and brought civility, love, hope, compassion and care to the world. The world was reshaped over and over again until it became as you see it now. The first pair had a child name Hope or in their tongue Vona. I am tasked to roam this world to guide each pair that Love has found and guide them in understanding their connection and responsibility. Love is reborn every two millennia to replenish the love in this world to help bring peace and calm. Every birth is different, and each couple has a task it must fulfill before they can start the mission of Love in this world." Vona paused for a moment.
"What is our task?", Harry asked concerned.
Vona looked at him with unwavering eyes, "Your task has already been put in motion, the Dark Lord must fall before Love can move into the world to replenish it once again."
Harry rolled his eyes, of course the Dark Lord would be part of this... Isn't he always where all roads Harry take leads to.
"Still, are you certain it is us?" Draco asked again.
"I have always been Love's guide, and I know it is you as I feel Love inside of you." Vona responded.
"The lights that we saw, what was that?" Harry asked.
Vona replied, "Love's soul is once again united in both of you. That was the creation of the bond of the Soul of Love, it is an unbreakable bond until death. With this bond comes certain powers that can be used for the journey you are about to embark upon. First, the power of the mind of one, you will both be able to communicate at all times no matter the distance with one another. Second, the power of projection. You will both be able to be with one another even if separated through the projection of your spirits. Finally, the power of healing minds. This is the most beautiful of all. You both will be capable of healing the minds of those who have been broken by darkness, shielding the minds of those targeted by darkness, and breaking any unwilling mind bond forced by darkness."
Harry and Draco just gapped at her in astonishment.
"How will you guide us, and can we call you for help?" Harry inquired.
Vona smiled, her bright teeth shining a mother of pearl shine, "I will appear during times when you are alone, I will guide you on how to use and hone your powers, and give general guidance as needed. To call me that is unnecessary, I will come when needed, Love reaches for me. As my first guidance to you both, I suggest you work on your communication quickly, to do so, all you have to do is have a firm image of the other inside your head, and it will flow more naturally as the days go on. I cannot interfere with events as I have no physical power. Projection will be hard to learn, especially because as humans it is hard to let go of yourself, but Love will strengthen you as you need. I will leave you now, Good luck."
With the last of her words, Vona shimmered into nothing, and only the soft light in their paradise glowed in the background.
Harry turned to Draco, still pulled to touch him. Lifting his hand to stroke Draco's petal soft skin, he sighed.
"At least that explains some things, but does that mean I really don't love you like I feel, or is that part of this?" Harry asked somewhat saddened.
Draco smiled at him, "This is because we have a great capacity for love, and our love for each other is very strong, not because we are the Sál af ást."
Harry quirked an eyebrow, "Sál af ást?"
"Soul of Love", Draco replied.
"So what we feel for each other is real?", Harry asked hopefully.
"Yes, more than any two on earth at the moment.” Draco replied emphatically.
Harry just gazed at Draco for the moment, letting everything sink in. Draco could feel the anxiousness in Harry ease a bit, and drew him closer to hold.
"We need to get back before someone notices us missing," Draco said, with a small sigh.
Harry nodded, letting go of Draco and dropping his hand to hold Draco's. The connection felt necessary and right.
They walked together over to the rock near where the entrance had been, and as they donned the cloak, the door appeared again for them.
Slipping out of the Room of Requirements, Harry felt a bit sad leaving the sanctuary the School had provided for them. Draco slipped through the portrait into his common room after leaving Harry with a lingering kiss burning on his lips.
