Hi,I've had this idea in my head, and I've been loosing sleep over it so
I'm finally going to do it. It's AU, very very AU, but I've never seen any like this
and wanted to try it and see if anyone liked it. It will eventually be Harry/Sev slash.
Please no flames. Ok, a little on the background of the characters.
Harry Potter:A 22 year old sophmore in college, studying to be a Archeologist. He is
an activist for Indian rights to their lands and burial grounds. He was raised by an
Apache tribe after his parents died. He had for the past three weeks before this story
starts been trying to raise enough support to stop a resort from going up in the Appalachian
Mountains, on what he thinks to be an ancient Cherokee burial site. He doesn't go by his
born name, he goes by the one his Apache family gave him 'Red Cloud'
Draco Malfoy: Partners with his father in their construction company, they are the one's trying
to build the resort. He's a little, spoiled rich kid, and his father is a bastard.
Severus Snape (who in this story will be Severus Shadow-walker):He is the son of a Cherokee
cheiftan. He is around the age of 28, strong willed and stuburn.
Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley:Both go to school with Harry and have the same concerns and
are partners with him.
The other characters you will find out later. Please just give this a chance. This chapter
will be a teaser and see how you all like it.

Harry frowned as he pulled his jeep up the dirt path, and growled at the sight that greeted
him. Bulldozers were busy pushing up trees and moving the dirt. He grabbed the papers on his seat
and jumped out of the jeep.
He ran over to where there were men talking, Draco Malfoy was smiling and agreeing with one
of the workers.
"WHAT IN THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?!?"Harry barked.
"Oh, Mr.'Red Cloud'"Draco said mockingly,"we're just doing our job. We were ordered to break
ground today. It's so unfortunate that you couldn't get a trial. Well, that's the way the cookie crumbles."
Harry thrust the papers into the other man's pinched up face,"See this? This is orders for you NOT
to break ground untill after our trial that we WILL be having!"Harry growled.
"Oh really, oh poo, that's just a little longer delay,"Draco snorted, letting the papers fall to
the ground in a flutter, then yelled,"Boys pack up and leave for now, looks like the do-gooders got their
court date!"With a last sneer at Harry he began to walk away, calling over his shoulder,"my family is very
well looked upon and we will win. Then this whole place will be a nice comfortable resort!"
"And then you'll be sorry for messing with the dead!Don't think when you are dead you don't have power,
you will be sorry."
As Harry watched the men pack up and leave, leaving the bulldozers and trash where it all lay. He frowned
and began walking around the newly destroyed clearing. He kneeled in the middle of the clearing and whispered to
the spirits.
"I'll do everything in my power to stop him and keep your last resting place sacred. On my word and honor
as an Apache,"He whispered.
He was unaware of a pair of dark eyes watching him, silently from the shadows.
Walking back to his jeep, Harry took out his cellphone and quickly dialed Hermione's
number.
'Hello'Hermione's voice said calmly.
"Listen Hermy, tonight I'm camping out on location, the Malfoy's broke gound today and
although I showed him the court order, I still don't trust him. You and Ron free to head up here
and stick around with me?"
'What about the curse Harry?'
Harry chuckled, Hermione's voice sounded worried,"as long as we don't break ground we are
fine. I've made a promise we would help,"Harry said softly and turned to look around the clearing
sadly, the uprooted trees made him want to cry.
'Well neither of us have classes in the next three days, so sure, we'll come. Hey, I can pick
up some Chinese and we can study.'
"Oh, Hermione! Study,"Harry groaned,"don't forget, no meat, I don't eat the stuff."
'I know I know, we'll be out there in about and hour, see ya then'
"Bye"Harry hung up the phone and tucked it into his bag. He bent down and kicked off his shoes,
he never felt at home in the wild unless he could feel the earth under his feet, know she was alive and
breathing. He then pulled his long raven black hair that fell to the middle of his back, into a tight
tail at the nape of his neck. Then grabbing his bag made his way to the middle of the clearing and sank
down to the ground. He never slept in tents, as long as he had a fire he was safe. He pulled out his sleeping
back and a pillow.
Hearing a soft rustle he called, without turning around,"I can hear you,so you might as well show
yourself."He glanced up as a man entered the clearing.
He was a member of the Cherokee tribe, Harry noted that right away, by the beadwork on his jacket.
The second thing Harry noted was that the other man wasn't that much older than he himself and very handsome.
His black hair fell just below his shoulders and he had it down. His skin was not as dark as most Native Americans
and Harry decided he was part something. The thing that caught Harry's attention the most were his eyes, as soon
as they landed on him, he felt a jolt go through him.
Harry stood, brushing the dirt off of his jeans and crossed the clearing to where the other was standing
and held out his hand, surprised when the other man didn't take it, he dropped it to his side.
"I'm Harry Red Cloud."
"I am Severus Shadow-walker,"his voice was deep and slightly husky, sending shivers down Harry's spine, he
looked straight into Harry's eyes,"can you stop them?"
"I have to,"Harry said firmly,and watched as without another word, Severus turned and disapeared into the
woods.
Harry smiled as he watched Hermione and Ron jump out of her car. They were so different it was surprising
that they had been together for so long.
Hermione was a vegan and an enviromentalist extreme, at the moment she was wearing a full cotton skirt and
a hemp(lol, inside joke) shirt, and lace up sandles. She was wearing her curly brown hair tied in a ponytail with a
ribbon.
Ron on the other hand ate meat, and the like. His red hair was streaked with blond.
Hermione hugged Harry in greeting and handed him the bag of chinese food. They all sat by the fire Harry had
gotten prepared. They sat in a comfortable silence for a while, before Hermione broke it. She was sitting on a dead log
across from Harry.
"Harry, we've known you for about three years, and I got to thinking today. How did your parents die? I don't mean
to bring up bad memories, and you don't have to talk about it..."she rambled on untill Harry cut her off.
"It's alright,"he whispered, staring into the fire,"my parents believed the same things I do. When I was around
ten years old we were living in the black hills and they were trying to save a burial ground much like we are. But it was
a Souix(Is that sp right?) We were trying to stop them from clearing the trees to put up a highway. One night someone,
I believe it was the people wanting the highway, set fire to our house. I made it out but my parents never did,"Herry
ended with a whisper.It still hurt, after all those years it still hurt.
"Oh Harry,"Ron said sadly.
"It's fine,"Harry said, with a forced smile,"want to check out the woods around here?"
"Sure"They both agreed and the three set out.
I'm finally going to do it. It's AU, very very AU, but I've never seen any like this
and wanted to try it and see if anyone liked it. It will eventually be Harry/Sev slash.
