Dark Chaos…Chapter 9…Realizations

Luckily, Poppy was at the school checking on stores, yet again, in the hopes that students would return to Hogwarts again soon. A full year without school was not good for the development of the children; of course neither was being attacked by a mad man.

Harry, Draco and the others went to the infirmary to see about Narcissa. Poppy would not allow them to see the abused woman; she needed to get Narcissa on the road to healing first. Poppy used her wand for a diagnostic charm.

Physically, Narcissa Malfoy's injuries were not as bad as everyone had first thought. She was slightly malnourished, bites, bruises and scratches here and there; she was torn vaginally from Merlin knew what being shoved up her. Overall, things that with time and a proper diet would heal. Narcissa’s mental state however, was very fragile. She couldn't seem to stop crying and shook uncontrollably; her eyes were the size of small saucers as they traveled the room she was in.

"Now, Narcissa, you must calm down, no one is going to hurt you here, you're safe.” Poppy tried to console the distraught woman.

"Oh Gods, please…" Narcissa begged.

"Honey, it's okay. I promise you are safe here," Poppy sat on the side
of the bed next to the other woman. As she began to trace comforting
circles on her back, Narcissa jumped from the contact and
screamed.

"Can't you see? It's Poppy, not Lucius."

"P-P-Poppy? Is it really you? I'm not dreaming again? Gods! Please, let it be true, please, please, please." She rocked herself back and forth chanting her apparently new mantra.

"Oh, dear child! What has he done to you?" Tears stung Poppy's eyes. "I'll be right back; I'm going to get you a few potions and salve to help you feel better."

When Poppy returned, Narcissa seemed to have gotten herself under
control somewhat. "I am really free? I'm not hallucinating? Sometimes
I hide in my head you know? Where is Draco? Please he is a good boy, not like his father at all, please don't hurt him."

"Yes, you are really free; no one is going to hurt you anymore. As for Draco, he is outside waiting to see you. You must take these and let me take care of you before he can come in."Narcissa took the vials the medi-witch held out to her.

"Now we must put this on the bruises and such, so you can heal. I'm going to let
Draco in now, but he can only stay for a short while. You need to rest and one of the potions was to make you sleep." Poppy left to fetch Draco.

Meanwhile, in the waiting area; Draco, Harry, Severus, Minerva Remus and Fred waited. They were playing a game of twenty questions, and then some."So let me get this straight, you were in the service of the Dark Lord to protect your mother?" Remus asked.

"Basically, yes. I was the little errand boy for them. After I did not AK Dumbledore, which I would have done, had I known it would not kill him; or that he was the one truly behind everything; they decided I had to prove myself. They would taunt me about having not received the dark mark yet, when there were some younger than I who had it" He barked a short laugh. "They thought they were punishing me, in truth, I would not have had it. I don't know how I would have avoided it, but I would have. They drain the death eaters through it."

"So why did you decide, now, you had to leave?" Minerva asked quietly.

"I didn't decide it, I found out that they were going to get Potter here to betray all of you, publicize it and have him executed as evil. I couldn't let that happen. As much as I thought I couldn't stand him, I know he is our only hope of a freedom from two evil bastards. I went back to my rooms where Harry was being kept and convinced him of the truth, I'm really not sure how. He told me my mother and I had to go with him. I took the opportunity to free her from my father and all those fucking bastards who used her." Draco's voice shook with raw emotion as he said the last.

"Why was Harry being kept in your rooms? If they didn't trust you why would they do that? Hunh?" Fred wanted to know.

Draco blushed a bit "You see I told them I wanted to break him; everyone knows we never got along. I made him believe I wanted him. I was to either dominate him or gain his trust." He glanced at the raven haired man "Sorry, Potter. You had to believe it too, I didn't know how good you were at Occlumency so, you had to believe it so they would."

"What the Hell did you do to him?" Fred and Remus demanded in unison, starting to rise.

"Nothing, nothing I just made him think I was going to. Tell them Potter, before they kill me."

"He's right guys, he didn't do anything. I thought he was going too though. Sev, you probably will need to do Legilimens on him, he's very good at Occlumency. When I check his mind I only saw what he wanted me to see."

"That's not surprising Harry, as he was the best student I ever had in
that regard. No one has asked me, but I would like to put forth my
opinion on Mr. Malfoy and his mother. I believe that what he says is
true, that he stayed only to protect his mother. They have been
attempting to protect each other for years. I dare say neither has
succeeded very well, as demonstrated by the condition Cissy is in.
They have always stuck together, no matter what." Severus informed
everyone.

"Thank you, Uncle Sev. All I have been able to do is comfort her,
lately. I cannot stand against him, there." The contempt in his voice
was evident when he spoke of his father and the Stronghold of
Darkness, you can imagine it's a lot of contempt if it is discernable
when coming from Draco Malfoy.

"Excuse me, Draco; your mother would like to see you now. Remember, young man, she has been through an ordeal, as you know, and she needs her rest. I have given her a potion to help her sleep, so you cannot stay long." Poppy interrupted.

Draco glanced at Harry as if asking permission, Harry nodded. "Thank you." Draco said as he stood, it was unclear if he was talking to Harry or Poppy. He followed the medi-witch into his mother's room.

Once they were gone Harry turned to Fred. "Fred, are you sure you don't mind keeping an eye on him? No, Sev. I believe you, and I believe him, I don't know why I believe him but I do. I just don't trust that there is not a bug or something on him."

"A what? A bug? Why on Earth would you think there was a bug on him? He has always had impeccable hygiene, since I have known him." Minerva was aghast.

Harry chuckled. "Not an actual bug. It's a muggle term for a listening
device that is hidden on someone, something or somewhere. I don't know if they knew he would end up here and wanted to spy on us."

"Well if there is a bug I will find it. No one is better at hiding ways to spy than George and I." Fred said with confidence.

"Good, Cordie will attach a bed chamber to yours and George’s so you can keep constant surveillance on him. George can help too, mostly to give you breaks. Please, Fred, you are a bit sneaker than George and we need to discover as soon as possible if they are spying on us. I'm sorry to pull you guys apart for a while but it can't be helped. The sooner you find out, the sooner the two of you can get back to normal."

"No worries Harry. George and Parvati have finally discovered they're in love." Fred rolled his eyes trying to hide the jealousy he felt.


"So he is pretty much otherwise occupied. This is actually helping me
find something to do with myself."

"Okay, when he comes out, take him to the kitchen and feed him, it was dinner time…, then show him to his room and let him wash up and all; then I imagine he will want to go to bed. Find out what you can. Thanks again, Fred."

"No problem, Harry."

"Now, Remus and Minerva, I don't really think there is a whole lot more we can do tonight, so you might as well get some rest, or whatever." Harry said with a twinkle in his eye, Minerva blushed and Remus grinned mischievously. "Minerva, if you will, talk with Mrs. Malfoy in the morning. See if she can help us at all and work with
Poppy to figure out how we can best heal her completely."

"I will take care of it Harry. She was always a sweet girl, unlike Bellatrix. That one, something was wrong with. I was relieved when her sisters were nothing like her." To Harry's surprise she kissed the top of his head as she and Remus left to do whatever. Remus ruffled his hair as he was wont to do.

"Now, as for you." Harry turned toward his mate, who he had been holding hands with. "You, I need to ravish, and very soon."

Severus smiled at Harry "Only if you can do it before I do it to you."

"Oh please, get a room. This is something I do not need to see or hear, one of my best friends and my former potions professor getting all hot and bothered." Fred moaned.

Harry and Severus both chuckled "You're not going to see anything, you git. We're going. Thanks again for handling Draco."

"Yeah, yeah just go."The two men left hand in hand. They were nearly running to the dungeons.

"Too bad Cordie can't make it a quicker trip, huh?"

"Of course I can make it a closer trip, Harry. All you had to do is
ask."

Suddenly the two found themselves in front of the entrance to Severus' rooms.

"Wow, remind me to remember that." Harry said. "Oh, Cordie, I would
like to go over what the spirits at the Stronghold of Darkness have to
say, in the morning. The more we find out and the sooner the better.
Sev, oh Merlin Sev wait a minute, I can't think." Harry shivered as
Severus was nibbling the spot on Harry's neck.

"No problem, Harry" Cordie chuckled.
"I think she has been around Fred too much." Severus said."Just get us inside before I take you right here in the corridor."


Harry demanded."Patience Potter, patience."

"No"

Quickly they found themselves in the bed chamber clothes flying, as they grabbed at one another, each in a hurry to reclaim the other. Severus steered Harry toward the bed, Harry falling on it as the back of his knees hit the bed. He scooted back until his head lay on a pillow. Severus followed him up the bed, nearly on top of him throughout the brief journey. Severus leaned down, to devour Harry's mouth, Harry placed his hands at the nape of his lover's neck, drawing him closer. Harry arched up trying to achieve some friction between their erections.Severus began to grind against Harry, Harry moaned into his lover's mouth.

"Sev, please, I can't last long. Please."

"Please what, my love?" Severus chuckled, as he ground against the younger man.

"Please, Sev. Please." Harry was so immersed in passion he was incapable of answering.

Severus, who rarely said more than was necessary, loved to talk when in the throes of passion. "Is this what you want?"

Severus said a lubricating spell and prepared Harry, making sure to graze the bundle of nerves that brought whimpers from Harry. Severus pushed on Harry's legs until he had him at just the right angle. Grasping Harry's weeping member, he slowly removed the fingers of his other hand and lined his cock up at the now dilated hole. "Harry, you want this?"

"Oh please, please, please. Sev, now, I need you now."Severus broached the entrance slowly, trying to not hurt his beloved.


Harry, however, was having none of it; he pushed up against Severus until Severus was buried in to his balls.

"Harry!"They quickly found a rhythm, as if they had been lovers for years not
days; Severus duplicating that rhythm with his hand on Harry's cock.
It did not take long before Harry was screaming "Sev-er-us" and spewing jisim all over both of their stomachs and chests.

Severus was but a moment behind his young lover, hearing his name
called with such passion by his mate, seeing and feeling the hot seed, and the tightening around his cock was more than he could take. He emptied himself into Harry, Harry's name on his lips as he did. When he was spent, he fell forward and kissed his beloved.

"I have missed you." He breathed against Harry's lips.

"And I you."

Severus gently pulled out of his lover saying a cleansing charm as he
did. He lay next to Harry, taking him into his arms, kissing him on
the forehead. Harry snuggled closer, already beginning to fall asleep,
and the day catching up with him. Severus smiled accioed a blanket to cover them and whispered "I love you, my destined."

"Love you, too" Harry mumbled. Severus felt his heart would burst at
that uncensored declaration.

Fred sat in the waiting room waiting for Draco to emerge. Draco had
only been in there about ten minutes. But, Fred was not good at just
waiting. He sighed dramatically, as he flipped through yet another
Quidditch magazine.

After another five minutes Draco emerged, his eyes red rimmed. "Where is everyone?" He asked his voice soft.

"They're all gone to do other things. I have been given the task of
seeing to you."

"Just you? No offense." He offered when Fred started to bristle. "But you know I'm a big, bad, bad guy and all. Just please put me in the same room as my father."

"Wha-? Harry believes you; you're not going to a cell. Why on Earth
would you want to be in the same room as your father? That has me a little worried about your loyalty to the light; you want to come up with a plan?"Draco just looked at him.

"Oh, I get it. I'm a little slow tonight I guess." Fred said shaking his head. "Well, we can't allow that just yet. Gotta get info from him and all, but when we can allow it, I will be there to get mine in, too. I imagine there are quite a few of us."

"Really?" Draco was dumfounded. "You would allow me justice for my
mother, and help me?"

"Well, yeah. Who better to begin justice for a mother than her son? As for helping, didn't you hear us? We do not tolerate women to be treated that way. Our mother taught all of us better; and that includes Harry. Now, let's go, I'm supposed to get you fed, show you the bathroom and your room. And I am tired, so let's go."

"Okay, lead the way."

"You know you're not nearly the smart arse tonight that you usually
are. And you haven't made a single comment about blood traitors, or
mud bloods or any of it."

"Well, a Malfoy is expected to behave a certain way. Now that my
father is locked up and unlikely to follow through on threats he has
made, or to repeat punishments, I can be who I truly am. I really have
nothing against you Weasleys or muggleborns or really anyone who has not proven to me they deserve my disdain. I figure there are enough reasons to dislike people without general prejudices and bigotry."


"Wow, that's a mouthful. I guess there's more to you than just a pretty face, huh?"

"Well, I do have a pretty face and so much more." Draco waggled his
eyebrows at the other man; they both laughed and headed to the
kitchen.

Once Draco had his fill from the kitchen elf, and Fred also got his fill
again, (something about those Weasleys and them always eating) Draco followed Fred to their rooms. Fred had Draco so at ease that he kept talking and talking, telling the other man his life story it seemed. Fred encouraged him with questions and comments designed to elicit more information.

"Okay, here we are." Fred interrupted Draco. "Hold on just a minute;
let me make sure that if George is here, he's alone or at least decent.
Oh, forgot to tell you, you will be staying with George and me at
least for awhile. We gotta watch you. Sorry."

"Don't worry about it, I would watch me too. Make sure George is
decent, that is something I don't need to experience."

"Hey, what are you trying to say, he looks just like me."

"Nothing, no offense, and not just like you."

"You think you can tell the difference, our mother can't tell the
difference and you think you can?"

"I can and I have been able to for years.""Really? How? The only way I can tell is I know I'm me and not him."

Draco laughed "That could get complicated, like looking into a mirror
looking into a mirror. I am choosing not to tell you at this moment.
There are some secrets that should be kept for blackma-I mean for use at a later time."

"I think you are full of shit, that's why you won't tell me, you really can't tell the dif." Fred stopped talking and a glazed look took over his face.

"He's not here at all and not coming back tonight. He's with Parvati in her rooms. Come on." He opened the door.

"Merlin, Weasley. You guys are slobs." Draco exclaimed as he walked into a room. Everything from clothes, to empty food containers of all sorts, to unknown things strewn across an in descript couch, love seat and arm chair.

"Well, yeah I guess. We don't like to clean much, and this is the room
where we test our new products." Fred sheepishly explained.

"That's right, you have a joke shop."

"We had a joke shop, things have gotten so dangerous and all so we are doing mail order and we're thinking of trying the muggle internet."

"Wow, you guys don't play around do you; well I guess you do but very ingenious of you to make your play profitable."

"We like people to underestimate us. Don't touch anything you don't
know what it is, it could be dangerous." He said as he began to pick
up a couple of strange looking devices around the room.

"Don't worry, I like living."

"Follow me and I'll show you around. This is the sitting room, over here is George's room, and here is mine. Don't look surprised, there's a lot we do together but not everything. After all, he's not here, is he? Anyway, over here is the bathroom. We don't do any experiments in there after the dumachachi incident, so it's safe in there. Over here, is your room." He pointed out a door he had never seen before."I guess you will want to shower and all, I don't suppose you brought
any clothes with you. I don't think you can wear any of our stuff."

"My trunk is in my pocket, thanks. Your night shirt would be like a gown on me." Draco laughed shaking his head.

"Okay then, if you need anything let me know. I'm gonna take a piss
while you check out your room; then, I'm going to bed."

"Okay, I suppose there will be wards set so I can't get up to no good?"

"But of course, you big bad, bad guy you." Fred replied as he went into the bathroom to get ready for bed.

Draco wasn't sure what to think about Fred Weasley. He had always kept his distance from all of the Weasleys; ok everyone, so as to not incur his father's wrath. He had watched them however, Fred especially. Now, he found Fred was not only funny and sexy but also smart. 'I'll have to be careful; I've never had a real friend before. I think, maybe, he could be my friend; as long as I don't scare him away with my lust. I'm sure he's as straight as his twin.' He thought to himself as he opened the door to his new room.

"Wow, this is nice." The room was furnished with a wardrobe, a desk, a night table and the most luxurious bed he had ever seen. The color scheme was in Slytherin colors as well. He had never felt more welcome, anywhere. He took his trunk out and enlarged it; he then dug out a pair of pajamas, and basic toiletries. He took his shoes and socks off and set the shoes in the bottom of the wardrobe; socks in a corner and wiggled his toes in the luscious green carpet. After a few minutes of that he went to get a shower. Fred was just coming out of the bathroom when he put his hand on the bathroom door handle.

Draco's breath caught and he couldn't help staring at the red head, who was wearing nothing but a towel.

"Sorry, hope you haven't been waiting long. I decided I needed a bath
before bed, it's been a long day.""Uh no, I just got here." Draco stammered.

"Alright, Draco?" Fred asked concerned.

"Um yeah, it's all good, just really tired I guess." He tried to get control of himself.

"Okay, then. Goodnight." Fred went to his room, a dumbstruck Draco
staring at his backside, Draco moaned 'Oh what a backside, too. Now I have to have a cold shower.' He went into the bathroom to take that cold shower.

Fred, in his room, was relieved. He had used the sreffins to check
Draco for any ‘bugs’ when he was picking things up when they first came into the rooms. Draco was clean, nothing anywhere. He would check again in the morning; in his room as well. The sreffins was a relatively new invention; but it had passed every test the twins had been able to put it to. Maybe they had lucked out and caught a break with Draco, maybe he was what he seemed to be. Fred found he liked the new Draco, a lot, and he hoped he wouldn't have to kill him or anything else horrible. He found he believed him as well. After all, he would go through hell for his mother; any of his family and his best friends for that matter. He set the wards that would tell him if Draco tried to leave or use any magic, climbed into bed the fresh clean sheets feeling wonderful on his bare skin. He moaned in pleasure and soon fell asleep. It had been a long day.

Draco finished his shower and nightly routine, before he too was in
bed. He was sure he would not fall asleep, although he was exhausted. Too much had happened the last few days. His mind went to the conversation he had had with his mother. She told him to not ever go back to that place and to see to it his father never did either. He would betray everyone. She told him to not feel guilty about what had happened to her; he had saved her after all. Draco had tried to tell her it was all Harry; she would have none of it though. She felt that if he had not had the courage of a Gryffindor to try and save Harry, the three of them would still be in the clutches of the evil Dark Lord and his master. Draco had vowed he would see to it his father paid for what he had done to his mother and himself. Also, he would help destroy the ones responsible for all the dark chaos of the past years. He drifted off to sleep, without realizing it.

At the Stronghold of Darkness, Dumbledore was pissed."What the Hell do you mean, the Malfoys are gone? And, with the fucking boy wonder?"

"My Lord, all I know is that they did not show up for dinner and when I sent a minion to check they could not be found. Do you think Lucius took his family and Potter to the other side, to betray us?" Tom knelt, trembling, before his master.

"Of course that is what happened! That bastard had me fooled I must say. If he turned, we truly cannot trust anyone. We must test everyone again." An evil grin contorted his face and you could almost hear the evil bwahaahaahaa laugh echo throughout the chambers.

"Can I trust you Tom?" Now Tom was really frightened, he was about to be tested, yet again. Though he enjoyed some of it, some of it he didn't.

"Yes, my lord. You can always trust me, always. I would rather die and go to the pits of Hell than betray you."

"You have proven yourself over and over through the years, but Lucius'
betrayal has me doubting now. Come with me, you will prove your
loyalty again I think." He rose from the throne-like chair and strode
to the door, his extreme age not evident at all.
