Blood Bonds and Servitude
chapter eight
by Chibimono Akuno
Harry sat under the heavy pouring of the waterfall and could only think it was so much better than the prefect\'s bathroom at Hogwarts. Amazingly, the water was as hot as he liked it when he stepped in and steam immediately began to rise. Standing at the deepest point, the water came over his waist. He allowed himself to lay back and float for a bit, feeling the heated water ripple about him, caressing and carrying him. He would have drifted longer, but remembered that Draco would arrive at any moment, and he did not want to be caught naked by the gawking git. Yet, he found himself enjoying the firm pounding rush of the waterfall on his shoulders and really did not want to leave it.
He knew he was tense from being bonded to hisg stg standing rival, but it seemed he was a lot more tense than he had thought. He had learned to handle stress during the years fighting in the war, especially since he was the one chosen to help bring about the end of it. But all of this stress, all of this tension... it should not be real. There was supposed to be peace. No more threats.
And ywherwhere was he but in the home of the new Dark Lord as slave to his son. It was strange how nice Draco was being to him, but Harry was sure that sooner or later the young man would turn back into the hateful git he once was. At least Draco did not treat him like a beast of burden the way Lucius had done when he manhandled Harry at his arrival to the Manor. Harry made sure to scrub himself hard to get just the the thought of the elder Malfoy\'s grubby paws cleaned off.
Clean and relaxed, the Gryffindor quickly scampered out of the water to grab his towels. He dried his ebony hair furiously but never bothered to brush it; it had a mind of its own, he figured, and was going to remain tousled no matter what he did to it.
He had just finished buttoning up his silk pyjama shirt, when Raze popped into the room carrying a large tray with a silver tea service and a platter full of sandwiches. Not seeing a table in sight, Harry plopped down on the floor. Crumbs in Draco\'s bed would more than likely set the blonde off, he thought.
The house elf smiled and conjured up a low table for the Gryffindor and placed the tray upon it. \"Raze was not knowing what Harry Potter likes, sir, so Raze make simple somethings that Master Draco is liking very much,\" the elf chatted happily. She even sat down beside Harry after pouring him a cup of tea with a large amount of sugar.
\"How did you... know?\" Harry asked the proud little servant as she smiled warmly at him.
Raze folded her hands in her lap and beamed at the darkhaired boy. \"Master Draco was always saying Harry Potter takes his tea this ways, sir. Master Draco always talk about Harry Potter! \'Harry Potter\'s clothes too big, poor thing. Harry Potter\'s hair so messy, make Harry Potter look naughty. Harry Potter fights for goodness.\' Harry Potter is what Master Draco loves most, sir.\"
Harry was not sure what to say to that, but it was not as if he could get a speak anyway, with his heart lodged in his throat. He had heard this from Draco\'s mother, and noom Dom Draco\'s house elf, not to mention the many blatant hints that Draco himself had dropped. Yet every time, it still felt like a shock of cold air on exposed skin. It does not make sense, his mind screamed at him. Draco spent all the years at Hogwarts hating Harry and making the Gryffindor hate him in return, but all this time he was in really in love with Harry? The green-eyed boy was beginning to fume in frustration of it all.
\"Eat, Harry Potter, sir!\" Raze suddenly said, her big tennis ball sized eyes going wider with her command. \"Master Draco is so sad by scrawny Harry Potter!\"
Harry slouched at that last statement. Why was it that everyone thought he was too thin? He ate everything given to him. He could not help it if the Dursleys had not fed him very well while he was a child. He picked up a sandwich from of the plate and was about to take a bite when he realised he was pouting. Now what was getting into him?! He was pouting, for Merlin\'s sake! With a restrained sigh, he forced the pout back and dutifully took a bite of his food.
The door opened and Draco waltzed in carrying three rather large and impressive books. Hopping, he used his foot to shut the door behind him and smiled as he carted the tomes over to the small table. The books landed with a thump as Draco seated himself properly across from Harry.
\"Hello, love,\" Draco smiled softly, watching Harry\'s expression go weary. \"It seems I have both good news and bad news. What would you prefer first?\"
\"How... bad?\" the Gryffindor asked, suspicion tinting his voice.
The blonde would not meet Harry\'s green eyes.
\"Releasing you from the bond is not going to be as easy as I thought. There have been some complications that I was not aware of when I chose this particular blood spell. I had been hoping to just... keep you for a while and then return you to the Order when I could... but that is not so.\" Draco took a deep breath before ploughing on. \"Death is the only escape from it. My death or yours, it doesn\'t really matter, one of our deaths will break the seal between us. Unfortunately... neither of our deaths would be a particulary good thing before my fa is is stopped.\"
The raven-haired boy nodded. The thought that it always ended in death somehow sprung to his mind. It suddenly made sense. He had cheated death against Voldemort so many times just to remain free and alive. Now, his only chance at freedom ever again was to die... or to watch someone else die... and the latter was the last thing he wanted to see again after fighting on the battlefield.
\"What... may I ask, were the complications?\" he found himself asking through his heavy thoughts.
As green eyes fell upon him, Draco felt the weight of anxiety set on his chest. If he could not look at Harry before, only giving him bad news, there was no way he could look at him now. His tongue slipped out to wet his lips as it seemed his whole mouth had gone dry. Draco\'sst fst fear was so close at hand.
\"The bond was never meant for... hate and love... it was just for a general bond between a master and a slave who did not know one another before the bonding. It is things like pure love or extreme hate that tip the balance of magic to do something else...\"
Heart pounding and mind reeling, the Slytherin knew it was now or never. He wiped his sweaty palms against his trousers and hoped against hope that Harry would not hate him for speaking his heart. He found the only bit of courage he had deep inside to bring his mercury eyes up to meet emerald.
\"Harry, I am the complication. I fouled up and bonded you to me forever by accident... because I love you.\"
The world ground to a halt all around them. Draco wished for the floor to open up and swallow him whole. He was embarrassed, yes, finally admitting this deep, dark secret he had kept since he was youngt het he was terrified as well. What would Harry do? His heart was now in the Gryffindor\'s hands. And what if Harry was upset enough to take his freedom and Draco\'s life in the process? The blonde was sure he was pale with the urge to vomit from anxiety. He was never one for a scary situation.
And yet, he held his gaze with Harry\'s... and held tight to his hope, to the love that sat deep in his heart.
The picture was perfectly clear suddenly. Harry knew it made absolute sense. In the back of his mind somewhere, he briefly wondered if this was how Hermione saw everything and always knew the answers.
\"There was more to it than just following your father, wasn\'t it?\" Harry asked softly as he watched the colour drain from Draco\'s face in the silence that followed his confession.
With a hard swallow, Draco nodded. \"Yes... My mother said it was not a very good idea to get involved with you with the Dark Lord coming after you. Your death was imminent. I\'m sure that at one point in our youth we might have become friends... if things between us had not been soviolviolent.\"
\"You protected me from yourself,\" Harry whispered, understanding in his voice.
\"I would protect you from anything, Harry,\" Draco said, tears finding their way to his eyes. \"Anything... myself included.\"
The deep-seated need to be there for a friend was a part of every Gryffindor, and Harry was no different. He put down the sandwich he had forgotten he was holding and knelt at Draco\'s side. \"I may not feel the same way as you do, exactly...\"
The blonde nodded his head ruefully, waiting for the other shoe to drop.
\"... but I\'m willing to stand beside you and... come what may.\"
Draco felt his world tilt, his heart going first to the bottom of his stomach before bouncing back into his throat. He could not find the words; he could not even find his breath. He was sure he was going to go into shock when he was startled by the sound of a nose being blown.
Raze was still sitting at the table.
\"OH Master Draco!\" Raze cried out from where she still sat, blubbering with massive tears dripping from her huge eyes. \"My Master Draco! Harry Potter is being the sweetest most wonderful wizard! OH Master Draco! Raze is so h-h-h-appy!\" She lifted the hem of her doily knit dress and brought it to her pointy nose to blow again.
Harry looked at Draco and then at the house elf and could not stop the laughter that found its way free. And neither could Draco, for that matter.
