Ch. 4
May 2001
“So what’s the story with Mr. Tall, Dark, and Handsome over there?” A short dark-haired regular asked the barkeeper, pointing towards a dark-shaggy-haired young man with green eyes that hid behind some god-awful glasses. Covered by the fringe on his forehead was a small lightning bolt scar, that would have proclaimed to any witch or wizard not only exactly who this young man was, but also just about his whole-life story as well. Of course no one would really know what had caused Harry Potter, the Savior of the Wizarding World, to be slumped over a bar table with a full beer for nearly three hours, not moving except to glance up hopefully everytime the door opened. Then his face would fall and he would slump over his beer once again, when he saw that it wasn’t who he was waiting for. It never was.
“I’m not sure. He used to come in once a week and meet up with this blonde fellow, but about three months ago the blonde stopped showing up, and that guy there just sits and mopes into his beer. He never drinks it, but he pays for 6 beers so I never kick him out,” the barkeep answered back.
The woman nodded, and grabbing her drink she made her way over towards the man. Half way there, the door to the bar opened and green eyes gazed hopefully towards the door, then just as suddenly hopefulness dropped and his head started to go back to slumping over his beer again, when his head snapped up and grimaced. She turned and looked at what had caught his attention. A man in his late thirties, early forties had walked in. He had black greasy-looking hair, black eyes, and dressed in all black leather. The man walked right up to the younger man, and said, “Potter I was told I could find you here.” She headed back to the bar with a sigh.
************************************************************************
“So, you actually showed up. Well sit down. What would you like to drink, sir?” Harry finally asked his ex potions professor.
“Oh, nothing for me Potter. What I’d like to know is why...” Snape looked around, and whispered, “The Phoenix thought you would be able to better help me than he would?”
Harry leaned forward, and said “Well, I’ll let you in on a little secret, the Phoenix just took an extended leave of absence today and probably won’t be back ever. He’s a little burned out.”
“Potter,” Snape asked suspiciously, “Do you know who the Phoenix is? When no one else seems to know who he is.”
“As a matter of fact, Snape, I do,” Harry paused, “ I’ll let you in on another secret, “You’re looking at him.”
“How is that possible, you look nothing….You’re a…No you can’t be. I can’t believe it,” Snape finished lamely.
“Believe it. You don’t need to know more. Now you said earlier that Draco has been missing since his birthday, and no one has seen him since?”
“Yes. His mother and I are very concerned. There were some sightings in month after his birthday but we lost all track of him after that.”
‘Hmm, I thought maybe he was just avoiding me but I guess he’s avoided everybody.’ “So none of his friends have seen him either?” Harry asked out loud.
“No. No one has. Look Potter the reason why we want to find him is because we’re worried that he could be in trouble,” Snape paused, looked around and fished a vial out of his black leather jacket’s pocket, “And he needs to take this potion. I would like you to find him and bring him home to his mother, and if nothing else get him to take the potion.”
Harry pondered that for a while, “Why, what does the potion do?”
“Nothing you need to worry about. It’s personal,” Snape stopped, “Harry, I know you don’t like me much, but please for Draco’s sake can you do this? His mother has permitted me to offer whatever payment you want within reason.”
Harry was happier than he had been in months, he now knew Draco wasn’t just avoiding but everybody, so it must not do with that night but something else. “Well Severus, like I said I’m really burned out, I’ve been working nostop for the past three years, and I finally decided to just take a vacation from it all. However, I will look for Draco for you and Mrs. Malfoy. But I have no need for money. The only reason why I work was to keep me too busy to think about things that have happened.”
“Alright. You can owl either of us when you find. Thanks again.” He pulled out a scroll and handed it to Harry. “This is a list of where he was sighted prior to March 15th, the last time his magic was tracable.” With that he left the bar, and disapparated once he was in the alley away from muggles.
************************************************************************
Harry waited until Snape was gone before picking up the scroll and glancing through the contents. He noticed that Mrs. Malfoy had had the best trackers in the business and they hadn’t been able to keep sight of him longer then a few minutes. This was going to be fun and it would bring him out of his funk. He had left all of his jobs behind but he would still be able to use his resources, unofficially of course. He smiled to himself, he would see Draco again.
************************************************************************
End of September 2001
Harry had spent the last three and a half, devoting most of his time devising a spell to track a hidden magic signature. It worked not by finding the person using the magic, but an area where they had used their magic and objects they had used their magic on, even if it was warded against detection. It would allow him to find where-ever Draco lived. He had only taken a break to go to the monthly meetings and then another for his 21st birthday on 31 July.
He finally had the spell completed, so he cast it on himself. He was very excited. He had connected the spell to his magic so that he could apparate to where Draco’s signature was the highest without having to know exactly where it was, and he wouldn’t splinch himself.
Harry, as soon as the spell was cast, he apparated away focusing on Draco.
************************************************************************
Once he arrived, he cast a quick locator spell on himself and saw that he was in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. He gasped in shock. He had just apparated in one jump to the other side of the world, that shouldn’t be possible. Also, he would have never thought that Draco Malfoy would have hidden in America. He looked around at his surroundings. He was in a hallway in front of a door that said 3C on it. There were five other doors, apartments, in the hall and a door that said Stairs.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door twice. He was just about to knock again when he heard a feminine voice call out just a sec.” And heard movements coming from within the apartment. That didn’t seem to be a good sign, he didn’t want his Draco shacked up with some woman.
A few minutes later the door was opened by a tall very pregnant very pretty woman with shoulder-length strawberry-blonde hair with blue eyes in blue overalls. She looked shocked to see him.
“Does Draco Malfoy happen to live here?” Harry finally asked.
The End

A/N: Well that's it for this part. I decided to make the rest another story because this was more of a back story. Title of sequel is ‘A Slytherins Secrets will be kept.’ Postings will be sporadic at best. I'll post as I write. This update took so long because I had written this chapter and then it was erased (along with the next two) so I had to rewrite it from memory. I have written most of the sequel, but its not on the computer. (I have a spiral notebbok full, and as I write it on the computer I edit it.) Let me know what you think, REVIEW NOW (even flames are welcome). ^.^
