Lost in Thught- This is a little something me and my good friend Dark Mystic Lover wrote together, it took a while since she is so stubborn.
Mystic- I'm not stubborn I just like things my way.
Lost in thought- Yeah, and when you have your mind sent it is nearly imposible to change your mind.
Mr. Grunt (Mystic's bf [I swear that boy never leaves her side])- No, you just need to know how to word things to make it seem it was her idea.
Mystic- Yea! Wait a second -glares at Mr. Grunt- what do you mean by that.
Mr. Grunt- It means lets start the story that took three years to write.
Lost in thought- Yup, that's what it meant.
Mystic- What ever.

To protect Draco, Lucius and Narcissia sends Draco to live with his godfather, Severus Snape, at the Order's headquarters. While there Draco notices soething weird going on with the Order members and Harry Potter. Can Draco help Harry or will the boy push him away?
Chapter 1- The Fox
Draco was forced to wake up at one in the morning by his father. Lucius Malfoy ran into his son's room and basically threw his son out of his bed. "Draco get up, we have to get you out of here now!" Lucius said. Draco quickly got off the floor and ran to his closet, "There is no time for you to pack Draco, Severus already has acceptable clothing for you to wear!" Lucius cried as he tried to grab for his son's arm, but Draco was able to slip away from him.
"No, I can't leave without this!" Draco yelled throwing open his claset door, he ran in and ran back out a minute latter. "Okay, now we can go." Draco said and Lucius grabbed his arm and they both ran down three flights of stairs to get to the floo room.
"There you are, what took you so long?" Narcissia asked looking over Draco, this might be the last time she saw her baby.
"Draco had to get something too important to leave behind." Lucius said.
"Well, come one, we have to get him out of here now before anyone realizes what we are doing." Narcissia said trying not to cry. This was the hardest thing a mother had to do, she wished she could go with him but if she did that then they would notice his disappearance sooner than they wanted. Lucius turned Draco so that he was looking at him.
"Listen to me closely Draco, this is very important. You will floo to Severus's house and from there he will take you to the save house where you will be staying until school starts up again." Lucius said.
"Okay, which safe house will Ii be going to? The one in France or South Korea?" Draco asked.
"Neither of them." Narcissia said.
"Then where will I be going?" Draco asked.
"We don't know." Narcissia said.
"We thought that you would be safer if only Severus knew where you would be staying." Lucius said. Narcissia looked at the clock on the wall and gasped.
"You need to leave now Draco." She cried, Draco nodded sadly, hugged both of his parents, then grabbed a hand full of the green floo powder.
"Snape Manor!" He cried out as he threw the powder into the fire. He stepped in and closed his eyes, he always hated the way floo made him feel. When he opened his eyes again he was standing in the beautiful floo room of Snape Manor. He elegantly stepped out of the fire place and a second later Severus walked into the room.
"There you are, I was starting to worry that something had happened." Severus said looking Draco over to make sure everything was fine. "You must be hungry, come lets get you something to eat."
"I thought you were suppose to take me to the safe house." Draco said.
"I will be, but before I do we have to wait for the signal. Once we get the signal we will only have three minutes to floo to the safe house, if we miss the dead line we will have to wait another three weeks, which I'm a fraid is time that we do not have." Severus said and Draco nodded, Severus walked out of the room with Draco following closely behind him. "Now let us get you something to eat. I'm afraid you may not be able to eat until morning when you get there." he said walking into the kitchen.
"Why?" Draco asked as he began to panic, was he going to be going to a dangerus place like the Black Manor?
"Because the place is guarded by a Black Fox." Severus said begining to cook Draco some egg sandwiches.
"Wait, I thought that Black Foxes were the most gentle creatures alive." Draco said confused.
"Usually they are, but any creature can be turned evil with abuse and neglect, and with the amout of abuse and neglect he has been through I'm surprised he is even letting get this close to him." Severus said, then looked into Draco's worried gray eyes, "He most likely won't attack you, but I don't want to chance it. You are an unfamilar person in his territory." Severus said setting the egg sandwiches down infront of Draco.
"Oh, I see." Draco muttered and ate his egg sandwiches. Once he was finished there were three loud howls outside the house, Severus shot up and pulled Draco out of his seat.
"That's the signal." He said pulled Draco into the floo room, "We have to go now." he grabbed a hand full of poweder and threw it into the fire, "Grimrald Place Number 12." Severus pushed Draco into the green flames before quickly following him.
"You could have warned me you were going to take me to the Black Manor! And since when has this manor had a Black Fox guarding it?" Draco cried as soon as his feet hit the floor of a very clean and dark kitchen of the Black Manor.
"Keep your voice down Draco." Severus hissed looking around the kitchen.
"How can I when I'm standing in one of the most deadly housed to ever exist! I could be killed in my sleep by the very bed I am sleeing on! I thought you were suppse to bring me some where safe, not to my DEATH!" Draco yelled.
"Draconas Lucius Malfoy, stop your yelling before you wake up the whole house!" Severus hissed at him, "This house is very safe, and had been ever since the Black Fox stepped into this house, he has made sure anything that could and would ever hurt his guest were destroyed or gotten rid of." Suddenly Draco and Severus heard the Kitchen door squeak open and they tensed up.
"Professor, is that you?" a voice whispered and Severus relaxed. Him and Draco turned to see Harry stamding sleepily at the door way. Draco blushed when he noticed Harry only had on sweat pants on.
"What are you doing up Harry? Did you have another nightmare?" Severus asked kindly as he beckoned for him to come closer which shocked Draco. Never did Draco ever think that Severus Snape would ever be nice to Harry Potter, okay maybe in his dreams did he think that would happen but never in real life.
"I had another vision, I had gone into your room to see if you were there, but you weren't, so I came down here to get a glass of water and some chocolate and wait for you to get back. But then I heard some yelling." Harry said and Severus sat him down at the table.
"Oh, that was Drco, he isn't very comfortable with being here." Severus said kneeling in front of Harry. Harry's eyes widened and snaped to Draco's worried face then back to Severus's worried face.
"What's wrong? Why is he here? Is everything okay? Is there anything I can do?" Harry asked worried, this shocked Draco, he wasn't expecting his crush/rival to be worried about him. Hell he expected for Harry to jump out of his seat yelling and cursing him.
"Draco is in danger." Severus said and Harry gasped, "His parents asked me to take him to the safest place I could think of, this was that place." Harry nodded and Severus placed a calming hand on Harry's knee and in doing so he gained all of Harry's attention, "Harry, it will ease my worry greatly and help me relax if you would allow him and stay here under your full protection so that they can't kick him out."
"Okay," Harry said then stood up and gently grabbed Draco's left hand with his and looked him square in the eyes, "I, Lord Harold James Potter-Black, take you, Draconas Lucius Malfoy, under my full care and protection, and as such you may stay here for as long as you deem necessary." Harry said and his eyes glowed an eary green reminding Draco of the Killing curse, then Draco felt as if a warm blanket had been wrapped around his whole body making him feel safe and wanted.
"Thank you Harry." Severus said.
"What just happened?" Draco asked.
"You were just placed under the full protection of Harry, and since Harry is the Lord of this house the Order members will not be able to touch you." Severus said standing up.
"Order? As in the Order of the Flaming Chickens- er I mean- Phoenix?" Draco asked and Harry giggled- yes giggled, as in like a girl- at the name Draco called the Order.
"Ye, Harry has allowed the Order of the Flaming Chikens-" Severus smirked as Harry giggled again "-to use his house as their Head Quarters, on the condition that he gets to sit through every single meeting, official or not."
"Oh." Draco said then yawned.
"We should go to bed." Harry said.
"Before we do, I want you to tell me about that vision you had Harry." Severus said.
"It was nothing, he was just cursing Wormtail and he was really angry." Harry said.
"Why was he angry?" Severus asked afraid Voldemort had some how found out that Draco was gone.
"He was angry that the Order ruined his raid on that muggle-loving village." Harry said.
"Was that all?" Severus asked and Harry nodded, "Alright, go back to bed, I need to find a room from Draco to stay in."
"The room on the other side of me is ready, I think the Black Fox knew he would becoming and got it ready." Harry said, "It also is connected to mine so that he can easily come get me if something happened." Harry looked at Severus and Draco noticed that something was different about his eyes and the way he stood, but he couldn't tell what, "I don't want him walking these halls alone, the Weaselys will be here in the morning and they always manage to bring a potentially dangerous creature with them." With that said Harry turned and seemed to melt into the darkness of the unlit hallway. Draco started to walked to follow Harry but and arm stopped him, he turned to see Severus looking at him with a serious face.
"Before we go to your room, I must tell you a few things. Since you are under the protection and care of Harry you don't have any real rules to follow, but there is something you do need to know. Harry is not a big fan of fighting, infact he hates fighting and any thing that might resemble fighting, so try your hardest not to get into any kind of fight. Since you are a guest you may, may get away with self-defence, but I wouldn't push it." Severus said and Draco nodded. "Also, Harry frequently has nightmares so do not be shocked if you wake up and see Harry standing right next your your bed, he just wants and needs some comfort. He isn't as strong as Dumbledore makes him out to be, I had to find that out the hard way."
\''/
Draco had the strange feeling of being watched, he opened his eyes wondering if Harry had had a nightmare. He looked to the end of his bed but didn't see Harry, infact, he didn't see anyone. "Is someone there?" Draco asked sitting, he nearly jumped out of his skin when he felt the bed dip beside him. He turned to see the most beautiful pitch black fox with amazingly bright green eyes. "Are you the Black Fox I've heard so much about?" he asked slowly reaching his left hand out to pet the fox, he stopped mid way to the fox to let it decide if it wanted Draco to touch him or not. The fox gently rubbed his head against Draco's hand giving him permission to pet him.
I came to greet you in person. A voice whispered in Draco's head. I am sorry to have disturbed you from your sleep. Please go back to sleep, you will need the rest, you will have a busy day tomorrow. I will visit another time. The fox then got up and melted into the darkness of Draco's new room. Draco laid there a few more minutes before finally falling back asleep.
