Title: In Your Eyes
Author: Aviva Riddle
Pairing: Harry/Draco
Summary: Harry James Potter has a secret, one that will change all preconceived notions surrounding him and the supposed prophesy but not before all mayhem breaks loose and true intentions are reveled.

Harry sat listlessly on the train eyes closed tightly with new glasses shading them. This summer had been his best and worst simultaneously, mostly because he had learned the truth of secrets that were best left alone. He sighed again, despite the very rare joy of actually enjoying the summer he was now experiencing another new feeling this one far from pleasant. He was not looking forward to returning to school. At all. Not only was he going to catch hell for leaving the Dursley's two weeks in but his friends had also been sending him increasingly annoying letters, though Ron's had seemed more genuinely concerned than annoyed as Hermione's had. As if his thoughts had summoned them the two other sixth years entered the car, the bushy haired brunette immediately started in on him. Loudly and in a shrill shriek that reminded him of a dying cat.

"Where have you been?!" she shrieked in a far less endearing manor than Ms Weasley. He rolled his eyes but kept them trained on the floor.

"With my family." He replied truthfully, only to here the brunette scoff.

"You left the Dursley's. Don't lie to me Harry," she hissed and a softer voice that was hers but with a cruel hint of malice cut in. He flinched and looked briefly into her eyes, before glancing away again as the familiar shadowy figure formed in the corners of his vision. Well it was familiar after this summer, surprise of surprises Harry Potter; the boy-who-lived was not human. Never really had been as it would seem;

[Not that we care where you were, foolish chosen one.] A voice that could be mistaken for his bushy haired friends, with a much darker over tone, whispered. It had taken him a while to break the habit of trying to look at the figures, even longer to stop responding aloud, since their voices were never aloud to begin with.

[We just want to make sure that you didn't go get yourself foolishly killed, well unless you've left a will with us included. Preferably giving us access to Sirius' library.] Harry visibly flinched at the reference to his godfather. That particular strand of foolishness still hurt, and the price he had paid was high.

"Are you alright mate?" Ron asked leaning closer as if to steady his friend but Hermione pushed him out of the way.

"This time he's fine, oh Harry what would've happened if you had been captured or worse?!" she demanded, trying and failing at sounding concerned. He sighed and looked away, the mess that was his thoughts these days turned again to his discovered heritage. Remising right now was not an option however; suffice to say that Harry Potter last hope for wizards and muggles alike wasn't even human. He was part of an ancient, supposedly lost race, the Ellexi-Nima, more commonly known to the wizarding race as the Soul Seers. Wizards were such a creative lot.

"…Re you even listening Harry?" Hermione hissed angrily seeing the hazy look in her 'friend's' eyes. He looked up at her coldly.

"Not at all. I didn't lie Hermione, I was with my family. Had you bothered at all to try and contact me before I went 'missing' I might've told you more." He murmured trying and failing to ignore her soul, the unfortunate after effect of spending so much time with them was that he heard their souls almost constantly when they were around whether or not they made eye contact. His hands itched to rummage through his pack for the little green capsules that contained a potion that would repress his powers, and emotions, and thoughts and practically everything else but the relief was almost worth it. No, he had promised to try and use them less.

"Hey mate, are you really alright?" Ron interjected Hermione's self important tirade ignoring her as she tried, sounding very exasperated, to speak for Harry again.

"yeah, just not really looking foreward to school for once." He murrmered looking back out the window again missing the surprise in his friend's eyes.
