On a flat, featureless plane two souls were having a conversation.

“The bond seems to be going well.” Angelica said looking into a well that was the only landmark on the plane.

Watching the two young men working their way through their new school was a pass time for the two.

“So far it goes nowhere when it comes to getting us reborn.” Devlin said. “We were promised that we would be reincarnated through these two.”

“Devlin,” Angelica said, “up until 6 years ago one of them didn’t know the other was on the side of the angels. They’ve grown quite fond of one another.”

“I think it’s time to give this a nudge.” Devlin said.

“You know the rules. We can only talk to them.”

“Okay. You take Harry. I’ll deal with Draco.”


Harry was sitting at his desk trying to study. He and Draco had had the day off from classes. Holidays at the Parthenon Academy were rare. As the temperatures were very warm for this early in the year the two had gone to the beach. Thinking back to seeing Draco in his Green trimmed in Silver Speedo swim briefs was distracting.

There was a flash of silver as a female figure appeared beside him.

“You seem distracted little brother.” Angelica said.

“You always pick the best times to show up.” Harry complained.

“I told you we’d be watching out for you.” Angelica said with a smirk. “Is there anything I can do to help?”

“I just can’t believe that of all the people I could have had in the world as a soul mate, mine happens to be someone that I’d always thought hated me.” Harry said. “Gods! Even now, he’s easily the most maddening person I know. He’s as intelligent as Hermione and as stubborn as Ron.”

“Have you told him how you feel?” Angelica asked.

“That’s just it. I don’t know HOW I feel.” Harry was thoughtful. “It could be love I feel, but I am completely unfamiliar with the emotion. You’ve got to admit I’ve not had very many opportunities.”

“Maybe you should take a chance…” Angelica was saying when there was a large explosion in the other end of their apartment.


(Five minutes before the explosion.)

Draco was working on a potions project when there was a dark flash.

“Hey little brother.” Devlin said.

“What’s up Devlin?” Draco asked. “You only show up when something’s going on.”

“Can’t a spirit visit family without being accused of impropriety?” Devlin said with a hurt expression.

“Sure is that the case this time?” Draco said.

“Unfortunately, no.” Devlin said.

“I thought not. What do you want?”

“Draco,” Devlin said. “What do you think of Harry?”

“He’s handsome, intelligent, and stubborn.” Draco said. “Why do you ask?”

A discrete gesture from Devlin caused a stack of papers balanced against a wall to fall. Draco with a sigh went to go pick them up.

“No reason,” Devlin said as he ‘accidentally’ knocked an explosive powder into the lit Bunsen burner.

Devlin was standing between Draco and the burner so when the explosion hit the shrapnel was absorbed into his ectoplasm. That didn’t stop the force of the explosion from knocking Draco rather heavily into a wall.

Two minutes later Harry, who’d stopped to hit the gong to summon help tore into the potions lab. Devlin had disappeared in a flash of dark light.

“Draco!” Harry cried.

Bending over his stricken soul mate, Harry began to use what little he was able to remember about magical first aid and healing. He was in the process of making Draco more comfortable when Serendon appeared in the room.

“What happened Master Harry?” Serendon said. Tapping a badge on his uniform he said “We need Ascalapes in room Zeta 412.”

While Harry explained what had happened, Serendon began checking the extent of the injuries.

There was a crack of noise and the God of Medicine was standing there. He ushered Harry away and began to work on the stricken young man.

A few minutes later Draco was taken to his bed. Ascalapes told Harry that he’d healed what was physically wrong but there appears to be something causing him to remain unconscious.

“I’ll be back in two hours. If he’s not awake, someone he trusts must go in to get him.” Noting the brands on their arms, he said “You’ll probably be the best person.”


On that flat plane two people were having an argument.

“Is THIS your way of dealing with Draco?!” Angelica was outraged.

“No” said a smug Devlin. “Draco wouldn’t have been the problem. This is my way of dealing with Harry.”

“Harry wouldn’t have been a problem either!” She began to walk away then turned with an evil gleam in her green eyes. “You want to deal with their relationship so you try to KILL one of them. If Draco dies, I’ll see to it you’re sent away!”

Angelica Stormed away.

“That went well.” Devlin said. “Come on you two. You’re supposed to care for one another. Show it!”


Ascalapes returned to find Harry sitting by Draco in tears.

“What’s wrong?” Ascalapes asked.

“I’d just made a decision to talk to him.” Harry said. “I mean, we’re together, but haven’t been ‘together’ yet. I always had thought it better to get through school. I’d just decided I was going to talk to him about this when this happened.”

“That may be what will allow you to bring him out of this.” Ascalapes said. “I want you to lie down next to him. Then I’m going to cast a spell that will put your mind into direct contact with his. You may need to find your way through a lot of places, memories, and information to find his seat of consciousness, but it’s his only hope. I will be having you excused from your classes while you are working through this. Your instructors will set you tutors for when this is finished.”

Harry lay down. Ascalapes walked over and touched the foreheads of each of the young men. “Dream” he said. The word focused the will and Harry was in Draco’s mind.


Harry found himself walking in a richly appointed study. Sitting at a large desk was Lucius Malfoy. Standing beside him was an eleven year old Draco.

“I met Harry Potter today Dad.” Draco said. “I wish that I’d not had to act like such a prat though.”

“You know why we had to do that Draco.” Lucius said. “The dark lord will come back. Until that happens and his final downfall, we must keep up the appearance that we are Dark Wizards.”

“I wouldn’t mind being able to make a REAL friend though. The children of the other Death Eaters are terrible. Crabbe and Goyle are dumber than Rocks and Pansy.” Draco shivered in dread.

“Well,” Harry said. “It seems he was interested in me even earlier than I was interested in him.”

Harry followed the 11 year old out of the study. He found him Draco sitting in a window at Hogwarts looking out toward the quiddich pitch through a pair of Omnioculars. When Harry looked he noticed that it was his first game. He saw Draco jump up when he fell off his broom, but when he saw he’d gotten the snitch he watched Draco pump his arm in victory. He followed a very happy Draco as he left. When he got out of the door the scene had changed again.

The scene appeared to be the last year they were at Hogwarts. Harry had noticed a change in Draco that year. The two had been watching each other for most of the year and Draco had even called a truce of sorts. Draco was sitting at the Slytherin table eating breakfast. He kept shooting looks at the Gryffindor side of the room. Then he got up to go to Potions class.

As they walked through the door leading to the Dungeons the scene changed to a place that Harry would always remember in his nightmares. They were in the Cemetery by Riddle Manor. There were many Death Eaters there. It appeared as well that Draco, Crabbe, Goyle, and Pansy Parkinson were all to be initiated.

Lord Voldemort was there and brought out a muggle. Each of the initiates had to demonstrate one of the unforgivables. Draco chose to use Imperius. Harry noted that the command that Draco gave would in a backhanded way defend the muggle from the pain of the others. When the Muggle was dead, Harry watched as they were all marked. Harry was proud of Draco because he didn’t flinch. He saw the pain in his eyes, but Draco refused to show any physical weakness. The initiates were given their vestments.

“Tonight we plan.” Voldemort said. “Everyone here will be going on a raid tomorrow. Everyone is to stay in the Manor tonight. It has come to our attention the location of Harry Potter. Tomorrow we end the hope of the Wizarding World.”

Harry found himself in the room that Lucius and Draco were given. Lucius placed several wards around to insure their privacy.

“I don’t think I can do it dad.” Draco said. “I love Harry. Even though he doesn’t know I’d die before I’d cause him pain. It’s been noticed. People are asking me why I’m not giving the trio Hell like I used to.”

“You’ll do what you need to Draco.” Lucius said. “Besides, this may end the war. If Harry survives maybe you can make your feelings known then.”

Harry felt the connection the two of them had. He knew where to find Draco. He apperated and let the bond draw him to where he needed to go. When he got there, he found himself on a featureless white plane. Draco was standing by himself.

“So now you finally know just how bad I’ve had it for you for years.” Draco said. “I want an honest answer. I want to know how you feel. I don’t know if I could take the rejection if you didn’t feel the way that I feel.”

“I do.” Harry said. “Until this accident, I wouldn’t have been able to identify my feelings. I’ll show you why not if you wish.”

Harry showed Draco what his life with the Durselys was like. Draco was amazed that someone who was so good had been afflicted by those MONSTERS for all those years.

“I’d just decided to come and talk to you when the accident happened.” Harry said. “Come back with me Draco. If you don’t, I’m not going back either.”

“I’m not even sure how to go back.” Draco said.

A light and dark flash appeared on either side of the two. “We can take you back.” Angelica said. “Take our hands brothers.”

Draco and Harry woke up. Serendon was sitting there and he called Ascalapes.

“You’ve been out for the better part of a day.” He said. “I’m giving you two more days to rest. Then the week-end is here. Serendon will tutor the two of you in your classes to catch you up. Now, it’s off to separate beds for the day. Tomorrow, the two of you can resume whatever activities you would normally partake on a day off.


Harry and Draco spent the next day talking amongst themselves. The day after that they went back to the beach.

That night, just as he was preparing for bed, Harry heard a knock on his bedroom door. Opening the door he found Draco outside.

“I think it’s time we committed to our relationship.” Draco said. “I don’t think that I could deal with losing you like I thought I was going to in the raid.”

Harry reached out and took Draco by the hand.

Harry pulled Draco into his room and locked the door. Immediately, Harry had Draco pinned against the door. Harry and Draco were kissing hard, their tongues dancing in fierce lust. Draco ran his hands up under Harry\'s shirt, feeling his smooth skin. This seemed to excite the men even further. Harry led Draco to the bed, and pulled off Draco\'s shirt. Draco looked Harry in the eyes; he had never felt so attracted to anyone. The two kissed again, this time Draco pulled off Harry\'s shirt exposing his built, well defined chest.

\"You sure you want to do this?\" asked a sincere Harry.

Draco gave an approving nod and pulled off his shirt and began to undress. Harry got up from the bed and got a bottle of lubricant potion. Once he had this essential item Harry too, started to undress. Draco\'s eyes drank up the sight of Harry\'s athletic body. Harry truly was beautiful. Draco lay down on the bed getting comfortable. Harry approached Draco, putting his slim body on top of Draco. He leaned in and kissed Draco again, Harry\'s fingers exploring Draco\'s darkest places. Harry applied lubricant to his fingers and pushed them deep inside of Draco. Harry was preparing him for what was to come. When the two were both ready, Harry slowly eased himself into Draco.

Draco let out a loud gasp as Harry pushed inside him. Harry stopped and looked down at Draco. Draco wanted more of Harry\'s cock, he started pushing down and Harry had no choice but to give Draco even more of his hot tool. Draco cried out in the mixture of pain and pleasure, not knowing which one felt better. When Harry\'s cock was all the way inside both of the men stopped enjoying the sheer pleasure. Harry started moving in and out of Draco, both the men moaning. Draco wrapped his legs around Harry\'s waist and pulled Harry even deeper into him. Harry and Draco were both covered in sweat, Draco\'s cock rubbing between his chest and Harry’s. Draco thought his cock would explode. Harry kept grinding his eight inch cock into Draco\'s sweet ass. Harry would cum any minute. Draco was about to cum too, he held Harry tight as he felt his orgasm strike. Wave after wave of hot cum shot out onto Harry and his own chest. Just as Draco finished cumming, Harry gave a final hard stroke and started cumming and he let out a large yell. Harry clamped his mouth against Draco and started kissing fiercely; just as Harry\'s climax slowed down he sank his teeth into Draco\'s lower lip. The two tasting the copperish taste that was from the blood.

When the kiss was over, Harry pulled his softening cock from Draco\'s ass. Harry got up and went towards the bathroom. Draco was in total bliss right now, he had never felt so complete. Harry returned with a towel, cleaning the cum off of Draco\'s chest. Once the two were clean, Harry got back into bed pulling Draco close to him. Draco wiped the last bit of blood from his lip as Harry nibbled on his ear. Both men slowly drifted away into a deep sleep.


The summer came. Harry and Draco left Atlantis for the last time as students. They’d sat their masters for Potions. Draco had mastered in Charms. Harry had sat for his masters in Defense Against the Dark Arts. They had contacted everyone when they returned to Grimmauld place.

Lucius was standing there when they stepped through the gate.

“Everything is prepared boys.” He said. “Just like the two of you asked. The invitations are waiting to be owled.”

“Thanks father.” Draco said. “This needs to be done in a bit more of a hurry than we’d originally planned.”

“Why?” Lucius asked. Then narrowing his eyes he looked at Draco. “The two of you are pregnant.”

“Are you happy for us?” Harry asked.

“I AM happy for you.” Lucius said. “I’m just glad that Narcissa wasn’t Atlantean. I don’t believe I’d want to go through Pregnancy again myself.”

“You mean we’re not the only ones?” Harry asked.

“You obviously didn’t pay attention to the healers in your anatomy classes.” Lucius said. “Atlantean couples always give birth to twins. Each partner carries one child.”

“We’re in this together love.” Draco said to Harry.

“I’d not have it any other way.” Harry said.


Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Weasely were up feeding their two year old twins when there was a knock at their window.

“It’s Hedwig.” Hermione said. “Draco and Harry must be back.”

When they took the letter from Hedwig, she left without waiting for a reply. The letter said:

To Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Weasely we send Greetings.

This is to announce the wedding of Messrs. Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy to be held at the new Community Center in Hogsmeade on Saturday 31 July.

We hope that you can attend. Please RSVP so that we can plan the necessary items.

There was a personal note at the bottom from Harry.

“Please come.” He said. “I wouldn’t know what to do without my best man and his wife.”

“I’m going to be best man?” Ron was amazed. “Well, I guess you couldn’t be best man, could you.” Ron ducked out the door just as Hermione conjured a pillow and banished it at his head.


The day of the wedding dawned bright and clear. Harry was a bundle of nerves because everyone who was asked to come had sent that they would be there. Ron had agreed to stand as best man for both parties and was assisting Draco to get ready. Fred and George were assisting Harry and acting as ushers for the wedding. Minister of Magic Weasely had agreed to officiate the wedding and Albus Dumbledore and Remus Lupin had agreed to stand in Loco Parentis to Harry.

The crowd was gathering in the community center. The pipe organ was playing a variety of classical and religious songs from various religions. Fred and George looked out the door and gave Ron the signal that they were ready. He took Draco out to the auditorium. Remus Lupin went to the doorway and nodded to Snape who was acting as Organist.

Harry about fell over when he heard the opening of a traditional wedding march, but knowing who was waiting for him he got hold of his nerves. Remus walked him down the aisle to where his fiancé was waiting.

Mr. Weasely stood in front of the crowd and began:

“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the sight of the Gods to bring two people together. These two through great adversity worked through a large problem with each other and the two of them are solely responsible for the end of a terrible chapter of our history.”

Harry and Draco looked into each others’ eyes and both read the same message. ‘Would he get on with it already?\' This is turning into a circus.

“My family had always seen Harry as a son if not in blood. Due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control, we had been in a mis-understanding with Draco’s family. Harry has brought an end to this misunderstanding.”

Minister Weasely turned to the altar stone and took off a length of silken rope. He then reached for the clasped hands of the two young men.

“These two have asked for something of a fusion of the Old Ways and the new.”

He loosely bound the rope around Harry and Draco’s hands.

“As we’ve always accepted Harry as family, so we bring into the family Draco. Lucius Malfoy is bringing Harry into His family as well. I thought that I was a lucky man when I only had 6 sons and a daughter. Now I have 8 sons and a daughter. The gods have already seen to the binding of your souls. We acknowledge this bond now and hope the years are kind. Now by the powers invested in me by the wizard government of Great Britain, I now pronounce you Husband and Husband. You may kiss.”


The wedding reception was one that would be written of for years to come. It wasn’t very often that two of the richest wizards in the world would wed. The two were deliriously happy in the lake manor that they’d bought on Hogwarts Lake.

Just before the birth of their children, Harry and Draco were sitting in the family room watching the sun go down over the lake, when there was a flash of light. Two figures stepped out of the light.

“Well little brothers.” Angelica said. “I told you that we would always be watching for you, right?”

“That’s what you said.” Harry said.

“We’ll still be watching, but it will be a while before we can talk again.” She said.

“You may want to be in London at Grimmauld place next week.” Devilin said. “Grandpa would be disappointed if he wasn’t nearby when the two of you go into labor.” With an evil smirk he looked at the pair and said “I guess we’ll see you later Dads.”

The next week the twins were delivered, a girl with red hair and green eyes and a boy with fair skin and silver-grey eyes. They were named Angelica and Devlin Potter-Malfoy.


A year later, Professors’ Dumbledore and McGonagall both saw fit to retire. The Board of governors for Hogwarts gave the job to Professor Snape as the new Headmaster. He turned around and had to fill 3 spots on faculty as Flitwick retired as well. Harry was hired as the Potions Master and Head of House for Gryffindor. Draco was the new Charms Master and given Head of House for Slytherin. Hermione Weasely was hired as the new Transfiguration Teacher and given Head of House for Ravenclaw. They spent most of the summer at the house on the lake. The family’s had grown close and Hermione stayed with Harry and Draco while Ron was traveling with the Cannons.
