Chapter 12
“That’s right Malfoy insult the guy who caught yah.” Ron agreed humbly keeping his hold on the weak irate boy. Draco hadn’t even realized the words before they were out of his mouth it appeared, ‘Let go of me you oaf,’ probably wasn’t the proper response to being saved from a painful meeting with the ground. However he seemed unable to fetch what was out of his tired mind and simply allowed himself to fade into unconsciousness while still in the safety of those strong arms. They all hurried out of the street so Az, Naji and Harry could flash them back all the while Ron cradled the unconscious Draco Malfoy who, to his complete humiliation had he been awake, had a small smile gracing his lips the whole time.
Chapter 12:
Draco Malfoy was not one to be left out of the loop yet sitting in his godfather’s familiar library with the last people he ever expected to be there instigated this feeling. Not to mention that one golden boy was practically in Severus’ lap and the man didn’t even seem to mind! He watched this strange array for a moment before re-looking over the strangers in the room, one boy who looked around his own age and a man who looked like he could be an adult version of Potter. Well an adult version of the new and improved Potter, something had defiantly happened over the summer.
“So Draco, why are you so desperately searching for sanctuary with me?” Severus asked seriously, though Draco had to look at Potter strangely as he curled up against the potions master. The blond sighed looking at Severus again,
“I’m a veela, however I’ve been suppressing it with as much will power as I could muster to keep my father at bay,” he paused and took a deep breath, “He wanted to sell me to he-who-must-not-be-named as a sex toy.” He finished looking at the ground forlornly. Harry flinched, he’d known that when he helped the younger Malfoy but hearing him say it in such a broken voice made it worse. Even Ron looked appalled, though the redhead had been acting a bit strange since he’d carried Draco back.
“I came to you because I had hoped that you would allow me to stay here…”Draco continued and Severus got over his own shock.
“Of course you may stay here Draco. Would you like me to send Zwerg to retrieve your personal items from Malfoy manor? He is a very efficient house elf and will not be caught.” He asked, and Draco sagged slightly with relief.
“I would appreciate that Sir.” He replied and was surprised too see a small half smile grace his stoic potions master’s face.
“No need for formalities here Draco.” He said before gently removing Harry to instruct the house elves to open up another room and retrieve Draco’s stuff. The teens, and Az, stared at the younger Malfoy until he began to twitch uncomfortably. Harry sighed and stood up in front of the slight blonde offering a hand,
“Let’s start over.” He said as an explanation, Draco looked at him curiously and took the offered hand shaking it.
“Does this mean I can ask what the hell is up with you and Severus without getting murdered now?” He asked cheekily earning a snort from Ron and smiles from the rest. Harry gave him a crooked smile,
“It’s a long story. Let’s just say you weren’t the only one who came into their creature inheritance. As a direct result Severus and I are engaged.” Harry said blushing slightly. Draco couldn’t help but glance at the boy’s hands for a ring; Harry pretended not to notice but rubbed the vacant finger absently. They chatted about quidditch and other safe neutral subjects while Severus watched from the doorway, his thoughts a mess. He’d never even considered if Harry would want a ring, surly the sentimental part but he would have to explain it at Hogwarts. Severus found he liked the idea of a ring, in a way it was like claiming the boy marking him for Severus and only Severus. Deciding to look into it he walked off leaving them to get re-acquainted.
Az watched Draco with a scrutiny that Harry didn’t quite understand; the blond had been friendly and polite since he’d gotten to the manor. It was quite a pleasant change from the Draco he was familiar with. He was drawn away from his brother’s strange behavior when Hermione finally got around to asking how Draco was suppressing his veela.
“I wiled the transformation not to happen, not that mush would’ve, just a boost in power and the thrall to find my mate. Right now I can’t sense anything anymore, I’ve been trying to release whatever I did but it’s been very difficult.” He tried to explain. Looking down, silver eyes sharp with pain. Harry set a comforting hand on his shoulder.
“I don’t get it.” Draco said looking at them, “How can you even look at me after the prat I’ve been?” he questioned. Harry laughed softly,
“After the shock of Severus accepting the situation I accidentally set us in and finding out that there’s a nice guy under his mask I guess we’re a tad bit more open minded.” He replied cheerily. Hermione nodded slightly but Ron gave the blond an appraising glare.
“Wouldn’t hurt to hear your reasoning behind your attitude though beyond the house rivalry.” He said surprising them, thought they did look at Draco curiously.
“I wanted my father to be proud of me,” he replied shrugging off the flare of emotional pain, “that was all I ever wanted then, but the man I wanted to please so badly has been completely tainted by he-who-must-not-be-named and no longer exists.” He said sadly. Ron nodded sitting back, his own silent acceptance to try and help the younger Malfoy. Later once the house elves returned with Draco’s stuff and opened a room he retired there desperate for a decent nights sleep, Ron had long since fallen asleep in the comfortable couch. Hermione and Naji had pulled out books to do research on veela, so Harry decided that now would be as good a time as any to read some of his mother’s diary. He looked over at Az,
-Do you want to read mums diary with me? – He asked hopefully. The elder brother smiled and nodded joining Harry to walk across the hall to his room. They settled comfortable on the bed, Lilly’s portrait resized and hanging on his wall.
“Hello my dears.” She greeted cheerily glancing at the book Harry held her smile waned slightly. “Feel free to ask me any questions Harry dear, Az too. He always was a private child I doubt he’s been forthcoming with much personal information.” She continued then settled comfortably against the frame of her picture. Az rolled his eyes at her and sat against the headboard with Harry settled beside him. Opening the small leather bound book Harry began to read the fine script,
“Journal Entry 1, January, 30 1832.
My name is Lilith Blackfighter and this journal was a gift for my tenth birthday, so I decided to start writing in it right away.”
Harry had to stop and stare at the date, that was impossible…She would’ve been over 150 years old when she died. He looked at Az who merely shrugged, frustrated Harry continued reading. He missed the amused look in his mother’s eyes.
“Momma said I had to accept this journal politely and use it so that Lord Highdusk would be please and think I liked his gift. Lord Highdusk lives on the ‘outside’ like papa; I wish I could see it. The compound is so boring! ...” Harry paused again this time flipping a few pages down, despite his curiosity about everything he was more interested in the time closer to his birth for now.
“Just tell it what your looking for Ry.” Suggested Lily, he smiled and did just that, stating he wanted to read about Lily’s placement with a muggle family. The pages flipped of their own will open to a page with neater script.
“March 21, 1964
“I’m assigned the stupidest task. I have to infiltrate Hogwarts, like the old goat really cares about what goes on in that school. I think their sending me away so I can’t wed Lyall. Well I have news for them! He’ll wait for me to be done with this stupid task, and then we’ll be wed. 200 is still young, plenty of time for starting a family. I don’t want to be a child again, especially a muggle child, why did they have to pick me for this…” the ranting and complaining went on another few pages but Harry had to stop and stare at Az accusingly.
“How long to Ander’s typically live?” he demanded of his surprised brother.
“The Elder of Fire is approaching his 3561st year…” He said looking at Harry with confusion, “Why?” Harry however couldn’t even begin to respond. Lily looked sympathetically at Az,
“Didn’t you pay any attention in class? Harry’s been living with muggles, they only live about a hundred years, and that’s extremely old for them.’ She explained, Az looked shocked glancing at Harry.
“Even wizards don’t typically live as long as us Az, though they come closer averaging at a thousand years.” She continued making Harry’s heart constrict, he was going to outlive Severus? Az awkwardly patted his brother’s shoulder,
“Sorry I didn’t even think that made a difference.” He apologized, “Ander’s age at the same rate as humans until about twenty, its different for everyone, then we slow way down but I never really thought much about it.” He continued, Harry nodded numbly a crack brought him back to reality. The little house elf Hope stood there grinning up at them,
“It is time for dinner Sirs.” She chimed happily, they nodded walked down. Harry walked in a kind of suspended stupor; he wasn’t sure what to make of this new knowledge. The one horrifying thought that he was going to watch his friends and adopted family grow old and die scared him more than anything ever had. They reached the dining room, the number of occupants having grown to large to eat in the kitchen, and while Az sat directly across from Ron, Harry continued forward and wrapped his arms around Severus’ middle. The tall man looked down at Harry confused, what had upset him this time? Draco watched silently, observing this strange relationship.
“What did you do?” Severus asked accusing Az who looked up sharply.
“I didn’t …!” he began but Harry cut him off,
“It wasn’t him Sev, it just seems like the more I learn the less I understand.” He whispered, refusing to let his mate go. Severus looked at him confused, but Draco interrupted them all by snapping straight up and looking around wildly.
“I can smell my mate!” he said looking around, trying to figure out whom.
A/n: ok so this chapter is like wicked jumpy. Sorry bout that XD I know I’m mean for the slight cliffy you’ll get over it. =D Anyway, I had to re-outline my plans since the last two chapters were intended to be one chapter, and I’m thinking that I’ll end up with a good 25 chapters at least. =P if not more we’ll see. Anyway this chapter and next are a little slow, and I try my best not to info dump not sure if I accomplish that well.
So how many people would kill me if I made Ron’s creature an original creature of my own like the Anders? XD Oh, yeah the whole age thing I’m trying to keep the timeline semi accurate, but I’m sure there will be dates that don’t quite line up…forgive me? I think there was something else I wanted to mention…I can’t seem to remember it though. >.>! This chapter was sadly devoid of our favorite potions master. . . XP I’m sorry about the ADHDness of my comments, -sigh- School does that to me.
Because Nikte keeps giving me chocolate, =D, I’ll give you a slight hint there may (totally will) be a threesome however I am not telling you who, or if you were even close so =P XD I’m also going to try and keep my updates semi constant, every three days or so. I’d blow up trying to update every day. OH! If you managed to read this far I change the name from the last chapter (Atil Highdusk) I changed his first name because I decided that there were to many A names so he’s Lyall Highdusk now, I’ll change it in the chap eventually. Oki I think I’m done now.
