I woke up bathed in sweat; that dream felt so real that I was sure that I was really there in those ancient times.
"Hmmm." I saw that they hadn't arrived yet; I noticed it was close to midnight. "Not here yet, I guess," I knew I would regret saying that because the second it left my lips the door burst open and in walks my mother with Lupin right next to her.
"You wouldn't believe where I found him this time. He had been living as a-. Oh, there you are Draco," nodding to Lupin, I glared slightly as I wanted him to finish speaking.
"Dragon…Harry is going to need a place to stay and since you wrote such a lovely letter to the paper, he can't stay here at the Manor. So, he's going to be living with you at your flat."
Staring at my mother as if she had lost her mind, Harry and I couldn't stay together we would end up killing each other.
"I think he's in shock, it should wear off soon," Lupin says, and I begin to blink which slowly becomes twitching.
"No…there's no way in hell he's staying at my flat!"
"Ahh, but you see, Dragon, Harry has to since you signed the contract and until what is on it has been fulfilled you are bound by it. Meaning he's living with you whether you like it or not! " He said in a tone that left no room for questioning.
"Now, shall we go and get Harry from the hallway before we depart and head home for the night?" My mother asked before turning and walking from the room. Getting off the couch and putting out the fire, I rush to catch up to my mother. Walking behind my mother and Lupin as we head towards the front door and they continued to talk about Lupin's trip here.
"You are connected with him already; remember the night of passion you shared."
"Did you say something Draco?" Lupin says, snapping out of my daze I shake my head clear.
"Huh?"
"Did you say something?" Lupin asked again.
"No, I don't think I did." It seemed like the hallway went on forever.
"Narcissa," hearing that deep velvety voice I peek out from behind my mother and Lupin to stare at this stranger. This was not the boy I remember he had filled out to not be the skinny little twig boy I knew but lean and his hair was still shaggy and untamed, falling into his eyes. Those wild jet-black locks of silky looking hair, just made me want to run my hands through it. He looked amazing after 10 years.
"Ahh, Harry dear, call me Cassie, you look good after so long." Tuning out my mother babbling, I take in this new form of Harry. His dark blue polo shirt fit his chest like a second skin and left nothing to the imagination. His black jeans hung low on his hips. I could feel myself drooling but I couldn't bring my self to look away, he was, dare I say, sexy. The way he carried himself, spoke, every little thing was sexy… and way out of my league
"So, Draco, what do you think?" Turning myself towards the smirking werewolf, as if he could smell my desire for Harry. "You two are going to be living with each other, don't do anything that might cause harm not only to you and him but also the connection." Lupin turned and walked away. Glaring at his back, like I could even dream of touching that body of Harry's now, he would hex me into next year if I pulled anything. Stuffing my hand into my pockets I walked over to them. Staring at the floor, as I got closer, nervousness takes over me filling my stomach with butterflies. I felt like a teenage girl waiting for her first date. This isn't me, shaking my head trying to calm down. I was a Slithering strong, arrogant, and moody. Looking up from the floor into those bright green eyes of my rival and my crush.
"Heros…." Watching as shocked flickered in those eyes before disappearing.
"Draco, are you ready to leave? We had a long trip here and I would like to get some rest before the sun show's its face."
"I…um…yeah," blushing lightly, I take one of Harry's bags with me to the parlor room. Hearing two pops signaling that my mother and Lupin have left. "OK, here's the deal Potter, just because we are living together doesn't mean anything. For all I care you still dislike me and I well, I don't really care for you either. Now my mother thinks were going to my flat but since I have a freelance job later today, we're going to be living at my house," writing down the address on a small piece of paper, offering it to him "that's where I live."
"21 Alexander Road, Aberystwyth, isn't that in northern Wales?" Finding the pouch of floo powder I had stuffed in my back pocket pulling it out so not to spill any.
"Yes, Harry its in Wales away from everyone, the people that hate me for things I didn't do. I live there now because it's beautiful and great for my work. Now I hope you remember how to use Floo powder." Smirking at him as he takes a handful, walking towards the empty fireplace.
"21 Alexander Road, Aberystwyth." As the green flames swallow him whole. Taking a deep breath, this might be harder than I thought.
"21 Alexander Road, Aberystwyth." Closing my eyes and coughed lightly as I appear in front of a stunned Harry.
"You have a really nice place, Draco."
"I'll show you to your room," moving past him and walking out of the covey living room and up the stairs that leads to the second floor.
"Draco… who took all of these?" Turning on the stairs to see Harry staring at the wall of pictures at the bottom of the stairs. Sighing lightly, I walk back down standing next to him.
"Why do you ask?"
"Because from each picture the person who is taking them seems to be very passionate about what they are doing."
"Why thank you Harry, I took all of these." Turning to walk back when I see him point to one picture.
"Who is the kid playing at the beach? He's in a lot of pictures on this wall."
"This is Tony, you'll meet him when we go to the flat and he's a really good friend of mine almost like a little brother."
"You seem to care for him a lot; you have not only baby pictures of him but also what seems to be a picture of him growing up." Nodding to him, I walk back up the stairs once more waiting in the hallways for Harry to come up hearing a whisper.
"I hope you can one day open yourself up to me and show me your passion." Hearing that I freeze on spot trying to wish away what I had heard.
"Harry, did you say something?" He appeared on the stairs, smiling at me.
"No …why now you're hearing things, Draco." I scowled at him before tuning and walking down the hall.
"This is your room," opening the door showing the large Japanese style room with king size bed with blue satin sheets, "my room is at the end of the hall on the left the bathroom is right in front of your room, I'll be downstairs and I'll let you get comfy." I dropped his bag by the bed and walked pass him back the way we came. Entering the living room I plop down on the tan love seat staring at the wooden table in front of me. Taking a deep even breath, I calm down my nerves. Getting up again, I walk into the kitchen and begin making a light snack for us before hearing the stairs creak.
"What are you making?" Hearing s deep voice from the doorway of the kitchen.
"Ham sandwiches with hot coco, don't worry everything is really light, but if you don't want it I can put it in the fridge for you to eat later."
"No, that's ok Draco. I would like to have the food now, I haven't really eaten all day." I was holding two plates in my hands. I sucked in a breath at the sight in front of me and I nearly drop the plates.
"I-I see you've changed for bed," staring at the loose pajama pants hanging dangerously low on his hips and his upper torso was completely exposed to my wandering eyes. Drinking in the sight of that body made me want to touch it, taste, and feel it rubbing against my own as it gives me pleasure
"Um, hate to say this but my face is up here," rolling my eyes, I thrust his plate into his hands while putting mine on the table. Turning back around to face the stove just as the milk in the pot began to steam. Throwing in the chocolate that I had cut into small little pieces, I stir it all together as it slowly becomes hot chocolate. "Did you like what you saw Draco?" He whispered in my ear, his warm breath tickling the back of my neck.
"I-I," I turned off the stove turning around to face him. "I have to say you do have a nice body but to bad for you Harry, you're not my type." I turned back around and began dishing out the hot coco into two cups. He started rubbing up against me, his hands rubbing my hips sinking lower and lower.
"Not your type or just don't-"
"You know what Potter," growling at him "**** you, I don't give a **** if you saved the wizarding world or muggles or anything else, your living with me and I would like it very much if you would try and not use me for your own personal pleasure. I'm not your **** buddy or anything like that, until the contract is completed you stay out of my way and I'll stay out of yours but if you ever, so help to god, touch me again I wont heist to hexing you in the next week," giving him his cup of coco I take my plate and mine and leave the kitchen "I'll be eating in my room." heading up the stairs, I entered my room putting the plate and cup on the dresser sitting on the bed while rubbing my chest.
Harry POV
I stared at the spot that Draco had just been standing, walking over to the kitchen, pulling out one of the stools and sat down.
"Smooth move Harry…you just drove him further away." Taking a small bite of the sandwich while muttering the words.
You have to apologize to him. I nodded to my inner thoughts.
He called out one of my names but he still pushes me away.
Just like you did to him, remember in school Harry, sighing at the realization that Draco still hadn't forgiven me for not taking his friendship all those years ago.
Tell him tomorrow when your both calm down that you want to start over…to be friends.
If he refuses me, then what?
Trust me he won't…well he might but he might have second thoughts after tonight.
I feel like I'm a little crazy, having a conversation with myself about my love life, looking down at my plate to see that I had finished the sandwich and coco. Standing up from the table placing my plate and cup into the sink walking out of the kitchen into the living room.
"Tomorrow will be different between you and me, Draco." Walking up to my room, looking at his closed bedroom door. I lay down on the bed with a determination to be friends with him.
Draco POV
Staring at the plate for what seems like forever, I heared the stairs creek as Harry walked to his room. Hearing the door close I breathe out a sigh in relief. Appariting down stairs, I put my food up not feeling hungry any more. Seeing Harry's dishes in the sink I wash and dry them before putting them back in the cupboard. Appariting back to my room I get changed for bed pulling on a white tank top and green silk PJ bottoms. I opened the balcony window letting the cool night breeze into the hot room. I slipped under my sheets and fell into a dream.
I walked down the dark hallway seeing a light at the end.
"Though, I know something bad could happen if I go towards the light, it's better than staying in the darkness." Finally reaching the door from which the light was coming from. I reached out and gently touched the warm doorknob. Turing it as the lock clicks open and the door swings open, the bright sun blinds me, closing my eyes and enjoying the sensation.
"Do you like the feeling of the sun on your skin, Draco?" Turning my face away from the sun only to open my eyes to see Tony standing in front of me. "You always did love the sun, mother." The images started to disappeared.
"T-Tony?" My voice broke as I asked the question to the now empty white walled room.
"That's what you call me now but back then my name was Tona… you have questions for me, please have a seat," a chair appears in the middle of the room, and I sat down looking about the room.
"How do you know me, Tona?"
"I told you, you're my mother."
"I'm a guy, never have been and hope to never be a woman."
"Not in this life but in your past life you were."
"Wh-what is this about?"
"Well, Draco, each person in our world has a past life, some remember and others forget them, if you're living your life to the fullest and die with out any regrets your soul will leave the circle of reincarnation, but your life has never completed. Something always comes between you and your bound one and, yes, Draco that's Harry. You cant deny him, he's the one your soul calls for… and out of every soul I have ever meet you were the only one who ever took in another soul and bound them to you. You took a soul that had yet to find his love one and took hold of him and now when that soul dies it comes back to you Draco. You saved my soul, I'm bound to you till I find my own love, in past lives you were both male and female though your last life was the worst that we all went through…but I'll tell you about that in a different dream." I tried to soak in all the information I was given.
"P-please Tona," not even knowing why I need to see her. She appears in front of me, smiling.
"You," watching as she sigh's, before holding up her hand "I'll show you the life that you started but I need to tell you a little about your life. Harry was the son of one of your favorite servants and you spent all your time with him, your father didn't like that but since it kept you out of trouble, he didn't care. Your mother adores Harrie, she sent him to school with you and he even saved your life one day when the two of you were walking on the rocks next to the sea and you fell in; he's your protector."
"Show me what happened."
"Close your eyes then," closing them I feel the wind rush pass my face and I opened my eyes to see that I'm in the middle of a city street in what looks to be ancient Greece. There was a market place in front of me, a glint of blond pushing my ways though the people seeing Harrie and his mother picking out food and also seeing Dragon standing near Harrie holding onto his hand tightly.
"Shh, its alright Dragon, no one's really going to hurt you, you're safe with me. I'll protect you with my life if I have to." A flush started working its way on to Dragons cheeks.
"Harrie, is this place always like this?"
"Yes Dragon, the market place is almost always busy unless you get here early in the morning when every one else is asleep in bed." The scene flicks and I notice that those who were in front of me are gone.
"I have changed the scene for you, Draco." I heard Tonas' voice in my head. The two of them were still in the market place but they were alone and it wasn't as crowded as before.
"Hey, look there he is, Dragon and his servant," watching as a small chubby child pushes his way through what little people were there in the market. The kid smirks noticing that the two of them are holding hands, "I see your holding good and tight to your servant, wouldn't want to lose him to salve trade." The kid walks away.
"H-Harrie?"
"Dragon, I will always find you whether you like it or not, lets go home you've had a long day." The scene blurs.
"Changing scene, Draco." Hearing Tona voice in my head again.
"Dragon how was the market place?" The blurriness goes away and in front of me is Dragon and his parents eating dinner.
"It was lively, I had fun that. Thank you for letting me go father, mother."
"That's good." He just continues to eat.
"Mother, father, me and Harrie have something to show you," his father looked at his son.
"Well," watching as Dragon holds out his hand and Harrie grasps his as the form the colorful sphere around their hands. Watching as the sphere widens and changes to look like the sun.
"Oh my, Lucian do you know what this means? Our baby boy has grown up into what the elders called a wizard." Lucian looked very happy at that, he reminded me of my own father when I was expected into Hogwarts.
"That is all you can see for tonight until your next dream, Draco." I heared Tona say softly.
My eyes flickered open.
"Do I smell pancakes?"
