OPERATION SAVE DRACO AND HELP HIM SNOG HARRY

a.k.a.

~CHAPTER FOUR~




"Dear prince, it's time to wake up."


"Wake up!" Draco woke up to a voice that was sickly sweet at first and then more demanding, a pounding headache, aches all over his body, and crimson eyes. When he saw the eyes he bolted up but didn't get far because his wrists were manacled to the ground. So the furthest he could get was to a crouching or kneeling position. Tom just looked at Draco with amusement in his eyes.

"Who the hell are you?" Draco was seething. He wanted to see Harry and he didn't know what had befallen him.

"My name is Tom Riddle. But they call me the evil wizard." Tom could see the look of dawning in Draco's eyes.

"What do you want with me?" Draco asked through clenched teeth.

"Don't flatter yourself. I didn't go there for you. I went there for the Gryffindor prince, and maybe three fairies. But I wasn't expecting you." Draco looked at him in confusion.

"The prince of Gryffindor doesn't live there." Tom blinked at him.

"Why were you there anyway?" Tom had an idea of why but he wasn't quite sure of it. Draco didn't want to answer that he just wanted to know where Harry was.

"Where's Harry?" He asked in a low voice. Tom put all the pieces together and started chuckling that went into a full-blown evil laugh. He would have fun telling the boy. Draco glared at Tom when he laughed. Tom stopped laughing and conjured a large mirror.

"Why little prince, Harry is the prince of Gryffindor. Don't worry he didn't know until his 17th birthday which happened to be yesterday. It is after all about eleven at night." Draco was in a bit of shock. Harry was his betrothed. That was wonderful but then he remembered what Tom said. Yesterday was Harry's 17th birthday, the day that he would either die or sleep. His eyes widened. Tom was too happy and Draco doubted it was because Tom caught him. He looked at Tom again.

"Where's Harry?" He asked in the same low voice only a little louder. Tom looked at him and scowled a bit but then that changed into a smirk.

"I thought you'd never ask." Tom waved his hand in front of the mirror and an image of Harry sleeping appeared. Tom and Draco just stared at Harry sleeping. When Tom went to see Harry he wasn't really paying attention to Harry. He just wanted to do what he came to do. But now that he saw Harry he couldn't help but stare. Draco couldn't either because he thought that Harry looked good soaked with water but he looked edible in leather. Tom snapped out of his trance and came to a conclusion. He looked over at Draco and knew that Draco was in love with Harry. So Draco was the only one who could wake Harry.

"At first I thought it was a pity that he fell asleep instead of died. But I think I have a better idea. He is quite gorgeous isn't he? I wonder what would happen if I kissed him. You see if he did wake up to my kiss then he would love me and we would wed. Slytherin wouldn't unite with Gryffindor but I would rule Gryffindor. Gryffindor is known to have the best army. So then I could take over all the kingdoms from there and I would have the most gorgeous creature by my side through out the lands. What do you think?" Draco just saw red after Tom said that. He leapt at Tom but didn't get far because of the manacles.

"STAY AWAY FROM HIM YOU BASTARD." Tom just ignored him and started pacing in front of Draco.

"I would love the fact that he would awaken from my kiss but do you know what happens if he doesn't?" Tom looked at Draco expectantly. Draco was glaring daggers at Tom. Tom walked close to Draco, leaning down in front of him, almost nose to nose, ignoring the way Draco was looking at him.

"He'd die." Tom stepped back when Draco tried to hurl himself at Tom again. Tom just laughed his evil laugh and started walking out the door, leaving the mirror and the mirror's image up.




"Are we there yet?"


"Tonks, shut-up!" Sirius hissed at Tonks. He was in a bit of a bad mood. But creeping along a ledge one foot wide that had a drop that would kill you could do that to someone, or make him or her feel really scared.

"Why the hell does he have to live on a mountain?" Sirius would have preferred to fly but Tonks said that Riddle would probably be prepared for them to come and if they came by foot he might not expect that. Remus agreed with her.

"Really Sirius. It's his evil lair. Of course it's on a mountain, in a creepy castle. Would you rather he have a hollowed out volcano island that could blow at any minute?" Tonks was smiling goofily. She was having fun with Sirius' discomfort of the situation. She would be wary but she had magic on her side. So she didn't know why Sirius was that scared.

"Don't worry Sirius we're almost there." After Remus said that they came across a wall with a gate and two guards standing outside it. The three of them ducked back down and thought of a plan. Sirius and Tonks stupefied the guards and caught them before they could hit the ground. Sirius and Remus then put on the cloaks and masks that the guards were wearing, turned both of them into rocks, and then turned Tonks into a set of keys. After they did that, they entered the gate and got by with out being detected. They headed towards the dungeons and had to hide because Riddle came out of one of the dungeon's doors. Remus had to hold Sirius back from attacking Riddle and giving them away. After they were sure Riddle was gone they went into the room Riddle exited and saw Draco chained by his wrists to the ground, with some dry blood around the cuffs. They noticed that he was staring at something in a mirror but when they closed they door he turned his attention to them and gave a disgusted look. Sirius would have been mad but with what he was wearing he would give himself a disgusted look too. They walked towards him and he looked like he was going to attack them.

"Your Highness." Remus said while bowing and taking off his mask. Prompting Sirius to do the same. When they looked up Draco looked slightly confused.

"Who are you?" Draco could some how tell that they didn't work for Riddle. Remus looked at the mirror and furrowed his brow. 'I guess that is one way torture someone.' Sirius also looked at the mirror.

"Why are we looking at Harry through a looking glass?"

"You know Harry?" Remus and Sirius looked back at Draco and both nodded.

"Get me out of here. We have to go. We don't have a lot of time." Draco said frantically almost yelling. Sirius looked at Remus confused.

"I don't think Harry has a time limit to sleep." Sirius said while Remus looked at the manacles on Draco's wrists.

"Its not that. We have to get there before Riddle does. He wants to kiss Harry and make him his husband then take over all the kingdoms through him but if Harry doesn't wake up when Tom kisses him he'll die from it. WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME!!!" After saying, and yelling that last part, Draco was panting, Sirius looked like he was ready to go on a killing spree, and Remus' face went ashen. Sirius was about to use his wand to unlock the manacles when Remus held out his hand to stop him.

"What!?" Sirius almost yelled.

"I think these have alarms on them that will trigger if magic is used on them."

"So what do we do?" Sirius was becoming very impatient.

"Use Tonks." Sirius looked down at the set of keys he was holding and gave it to Remus. Remus started going through the keys until he found one that worked.

"You name your keys?" Draco asked while feeling his wrists. They stung a bit.

"No this is actually a person. I would heal those now but I think any magic done in here would trigger alarms."

"So how are you getting me out of here? Won't it be a bit suspicious if I walk out of here?"

"Yes. But we'll just wear the masks and pretend that we're taking you somewhere. As long as we don't run into Riddle it should be fine. Once we get outside the gates we'll apparate outside the castle walls." Draco just raised an eyebrow but nodded. Remus and Sirius put the masks back on and took a hold of Draco's arms. They started leading him back the way they came and no one seemed to pay them any heed. Draco knew he was good at acting so this was a piece of cake. When they got outside Sirius and Remus practically dragged Draco to the gate. They got out without being detected, got rid of the cloaks and mask, and apparated with a 'pop' sound with Draco in tow. When they landed outside the walls of the kingdom, Sirius turned Tonks back into herself while Remus healed Draco.

"What I miss? All the sounds I heard were muffled." Sirius looked at Remus but Remus was busy talking to Draco, so he explained it to her. She looked like she was going to explode she was so mad.

"How do I get through there?" Draco asked while looking at the briar patch. The three fairies did the same thing with their wands as they did for making Harry's crown. But instead of a crown they made a double-edged sword that had a black leather wrapped handle and a green stone set in the pommel. It was also very shiny. Draco took the sword and it seemed to pulse with magic. He went over to the first vine and cut through it. When he did, the vine seemed to curl away and turn into ash as if it was burned. He kept cutting the vines, with the fairies following, until he came to a clearing. He looked at the fairies in confusion. They didn't know what was going on.

"I'll give you some credit fairies. I knew you were powerful but I didn't know you were all that smart." Tom came out from the shadows of the briars and looked at them with amusement shining in his crimson eyes.

"Why don't you come over here and find out exactly how powerful we are." Sirius challenge barely suppressing the urge to attack. Tom smiled at seeing Sirius trying to control himself.

"As much as I would like to fairy. I have more important business to attend to, so I must be on my way, but I won't leave you alone." Tom started hissing and then something really big started to slither out of the briars.

"Close your eyes!" Remus said for all of them to hear.

"Why did we close our eyes?" Tonks asked. She didn't feel comfortable closing her eyes in front of her enemy.

"You think that will save you? Well it doesn't matter. Have fun." With that, Tom started heading for the castle to claim his prize.

"The reason we closed our eyes is because that is a basilisk. If you look into its eyes then it would incinerate you from the inside out. If you look at the eyes in a reflection then it will just petrify you. If you get bit then you will die from the amount of bacteria in the saliva just like from a komodo dragon." Remus explained quickly, opening his eyes but keeping them on the ground. Gauging where the basilisk was.

"A what dragon?" Draco asked.

"It doesn't matter. We'll hold it off maybe defeat it. Draco you get by it when we distract it and stop Riddle from getting to Harry. Okay?" Remus said. After he got affirmatives from everyone, Remus fired an incendio spell at vines that the basilisk was close to. That distracted the basilisk so Draco took off, cutting down more vines until he got to the village, sped through that and got through the main gates of the palace. He looked up and saw the tower, which happened to be very far, and sped into the castle. By the time he got to the door of the room that led up to the tower, Draco felt like his lungs were burning and that his legs would fall off. But he kept moving, got up the stairs and barged through the door to the tower room. Tom was stroking Harry's face and leaned down to kiss him. He was an eyelash length away when the door burst open. He turned to see the prince of Slytherin standing there, trying to gain his breath. Tom just smirked and started leaning back down to kiss Harry when he heard footsteps running behind him. He jumped out of the way as a sword crashed down on the floor where Tom was kneeling a few seconds ago.

"I told you to stay away from him you bastard." Draco stood in front of Harry while holding the sword in front of him. Tom sneered at him.

"Do you honestly think you can beat me boy? I am the most powerful wizard in all the four kingdoms. All you have is a sword." Tom slightly chuckled while Draco just tightened his grip on the sword. Tom suddenly threw a spell at Draco but Draco deflected it so it went back at Tom. Tom dodged but the spell made a giant hole in the stonewall.

"Lets make this a fair fight." Tom said while making a black sword appear. They both took up battle stances in front of each other. Waiting for the other to move.




"How do we take that thing out?"


"Its skin is like dragon's hide." Sirius and Remus were hiding, with a petrified Tonks. She tried the mirror but she accidentally looked into it and at the basilisk's eyes. To make it easier for themselves, Remus and Sirius took out the eyes of the basilisk but still had to find a weakness.

"They are sort of related. I know one way of killing it, but we have to aim a spell when it opens its mouth." They could hear the basilisk coming, so they left Tonks there and both ran out to the middle of the clearing, drawing the basilisk out. They both stood stalk still, confusing the basilisk, when Sirius levitated a pretty large stone, and threw it at the basilisk's snout. When it hit, the basilisk recoiled and opened its mouth to hiss. Right when it opened its mouth wide enough, Remus fired a spell that made a sword manifest itself, and went right through the roof of the basilisk's mouth, through the brain, effectively killing it. They waited for a few minutes to see if it would move and when it didn't they got closer to make absolutely sure. Remus checked and breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded at Sirius to confirm that it was dead.

"What do we do with it?" Sirius asked while toeing it with his shoe.

"Well most of the things from a basilisk is used in potion's but since basilisks are rare, the items are rare. And if you want to get the notice of a certain Slytherin who happens to like, and is a master of, potion brewing, then I think he would enjoy some of the items you can collect." Sirius contemplated this, than looked at Remus for help. He was all right at potions but Remus was better. So Remus collected a certain amount of items from the basilisk, and collected some for himself also.

"What do we do with Tonks?" Sirius asked after Remus collected the items.

"You'd have to ask your boyfriend if he has an potion for petrified people or if he could brew some." Remus said going over to Tonks and levitating her.

"He's not my boyfriend." Sirius mumbled while Remus was passing him with Tonks in tow. They both started walking, with Tonks levitating, towards the palace.




"You're not bad with a sword boy."


"And you talk to much." Draco panted out. He had a few cuts on him while Tom sported many but they seemed to heal to fast for his liking. They stood in front of each other, breathing heavily, waiting again for someone to make a move. Draco ran at Tom, almost getting a hit in but Tom blocked. They started pushing their swords against each other, when Tom got one of his hands lose and punched Draco in the face, making him stagger back a bit. Then Tom pushed himself forward, while knocking Draco's sword out of his hand. Tom smiled, and was about to bring his sword down on Draco, when Draco kicked his sword out of his hand, which went out the hole in the wall. Draco had a triumphant smirk, until Tom kneed him in the gut, then punched him in the side of the face, so he ended up sprawled face down on the floor. He got on his knees and was about to get up all the way when Tom had him in a strangle hold. He went back down on his hands and knees, losing breath quickly, when he saw something shiny out of his peripheral. He turned enough and saw his sword, so he reached out, grabbed it, moved to the side a bit, and then plunged the sword backwards though Riddle's heart. Riddle was shocked that he let his arms lose and Draco pushed back hard. So Tom stumbled back and fell out of the hole in the wall. Draco took in as much air into his lungs as he could, stumbled over to the hole and looked out. There was nothing left of Tom except for a black spot with the sword sticking out of it.
Draco looked over at Harry and dragged himself over to him, then collapsed next to the bed. He looked over Harry to see if he was hurt but nothing seemed to be out of place. Once Draco was sure that Harry was all right, his brain seemed to kick in more and process the fact that Harry looks a whole lot better in real life then in a mirror. And after they get married he is buying a whole wardrobe in leather for Harry. 'But first I have to wake him up.' Draco leaned up over Harry, leaned his face closer, inhaled Harry's unique scent, and lowered his lips to Harry's.
