A/N: I guess I forgot to mention a few things last chapter. First I don't own anything and second this story is a slash fic. Also updates wouldn't be this quick always. Enjoy..

Chapter 2

Harry entered the common room only to stop dead at seeing Ron and Hermione sitting by the fireplace waiting for him.

"Where were you Harry?"

Asked Hermione as soon as Harry stepped inside. Harry looked at them trying think of something to tell them when Hermione started to speak.

"Were you trying to find who your soul mate is, Harry? What did Dumbledore wanted to speak with you so badly that you missed the whole lesson? Anyway did you brew it? Who is your soul mate?" Hermione's questioning had made Harry quite angry. What right do they have to question him like that?

"So now you want to know why I missed the lesson." Harry asked angrily. "You just remembered that I was not there for the lesson? What goods friends you are. Both of you ignored me for the whole day and now ask me why? Did Dumbledore asked you to spy on me? How much did he pay for your spying?

"How dare you?" Shouted Ron. "How dare you think we would betray you like that? We wanted to speak with you but Dumbledore thinks we are under his thumb. He wants you to be isolated from us. That's why we acted like that. Thought you trusted us. Is this how you trust us? After all we did?"

Harry sighed and sank on to an armchair. Yes, he should have trusted them but with everything that has happened to him it is hard to trust, even those who were with him through thick and thin.

"I'm sorry I shouted but you two could have talked to me after dinner without Dumbledore knowing. Why didn't you? You acted like love sick fools which led me to believe that I have to fight alone." Harry said after some time. Ron and Hermione looked at each other as if having a silent conversation and then Hermione started to talk. "Harry, did you forgot that Ginny was with us the whole time. We had to act like love sick fools because she was spying for Dumbledore. We had to make her believe that we were ignoring you. As for the love sick fools part, we aren't soul mates. You could figure out everything and just forgot that Ron is head over heels for Zabini?"

Harry actually felt ashamed of himself for doubting them, he indeed knew about Ron's preferences. He should have thought rationally about the whole situation but the thought of finally finding a person to love him unconditionally made him emotional. He should be careful in the future He couldn't let his guard down until he become free from Dumbledores clutches. That made him think about his soul mates, will they accept him? It made his head spin and thought of going to bed.

"Yes, I was brewing the Soul-Bond potion. I have two soul mates." Seeing Hermione open her mouth to ask something Harry held up his hand, "I know you have questions Hermione, but can it wait till Morning? Revelation of my mates was extremely unexpected. Actually that is an understatement. But I will tell you in the morning and I still don't know who both of your soul mates are. So we can exchange information in the morning. Good night both of you" After receiving mumbled good nights from his friends Harry made his way to the dormitory, quickly changed his clothing and went to sleep.

After Harry's departure Ron turned to Hermione with a raised eyebrow, "What do you thing that was? Any guesses about his soul mates?". "Actually I have no idea. It must be someone older than him and definitely male, other than that nothing comes to my mind. Come lets go to bed as well, we'll know who his mysterious mates are soon enough"

All three of them slept till much later, lucky for them it was a Saturday. When Harry and Ron came down from their dormitory, the common room was almost empty except for Hermione. She greeted them both and motioned towards the Portrait hole. The three of them went down to breakfast. Ron and Hermione acted their part as love sick fools and Harry became the lonely side kick. Fortunately there weren't many at the breakfast table and they managed to sneak in to the Room of Requirements without alerting Ginny. Once they were comfortable seated in the room Ron and Hermione turned towards Harry and waited.

Harry sighed quietly and recounted the total time waste he did with Dumbledore and his results with the Soul-Bond potion. To say that Both Ron and Hermione were shocked was an understatement. They were beyond shocked. How could this possibly happen?

"Do you think Dumbledore knew who your soul mates are? I mean why else would he prevent you from performing the spell." Asked Ron to which Harry shook his head. "No he cannot know no one can know someone else's soul mate. It is impossible; he couldn't even guess whether I have one or two mates. I think he wants me isolated. He doesn't want any soul mates to destroy his perfect plan to sacrifice me for the greater good. I need to be humble and he wants me to be ready to die without fighting to live. Having soul mates would make me want to live, which would destroy his plans."

"What are going to do now Harry? Are you still planning on leaving the wizarding world at the end of the year or join Voldemort?" Hermione asked after listening to Harry. "I'm not sure any more Hermione. Do you think that Voldemort and Lucius would accept me as their soul mate? Would I have the love and protection that I need from them? Can they even love?". "May be you should speak with Sirius" Ron suggested.

Harry's thought went to Sirius. After the Ministry fiasco at the end of his fifth year where Sirius nearly lost his life but managed to survive thanks to Ron's quick thinking, Sirius's trust in the old man dwindled. Sirius strongly believed that if Dumbledore really cared about Harry's wellbeing, he would have taught Harry Occlumency himself and told him about the prophecy without waiting till tragedy happened. Learning about Harry's life with his relatives didn't help matters either. Since then both him and Remus helped him learn more spells and even bought him books about mind magic to help him escape from Dumbledore. They both told him that Harry should enjoy his life to the fullest and that they would be with him till end. But what will they think about being soul mates with Voldemort and Lucius Malfoy? Only one way to find out. So harry took the two way mirror Sirius gave him and said "Sirius Black".

Instantly Sirius's face appeared in the mirror. "Hey Harry" Sirius said, a broad grin on his face. "What's up Harry you look worried?". "Hey Sirius, How are doing, had any trouble with you Mom's portrait?" Harry asked him smiling at his godfather. "Ohh She's being quiet as long as we don't disturb her. So Harry why are talking with me instead of dragging your soul mate in to an alcove and snogging him senseless?" Sirius asked playfully wriggling his eyebrows and laughing at Harry's blush.

Harry suddenly has a vision of himself in an alcove pressed against Lucius who was kissing and biting down his neck while Voldemort was having a heated tongue battle with him which he was losing by the second. Quickly Harry shook himself and glared at Sirius who was still laughing.

"Oh shut up Sirius. My soul mate is the reason I wanted to talk with you". Sirius held up his hands in surrender. "Sorry pup couldn't resist. So what is it you want to talk about?"

"Yesterday as you know we were supposed to brew the Soul-Bond potion. But Dumbledore prevented me from going to the lesson and took me to his office where he spent the hour talking about pointless things. Later at night I brewed the potion myself and found out that I have two soul mates". Sirius was looking at him with an unreadable expression "Who are your mates?" Sirius asked when Harry paused.

"Lucius Malfoy and …. Voldemort" Harry whispered afraid of Sirius's reaction, but to his shock Sirius didn't look angry. He looked resigned and gave sigh looking at Harry with a look of understanding.

"Remus and I actually guessed that you might have two soul mates and one of them might be Vodemort. Even though soul mates can live without one another they cannot possibly kill each other. That would be the only logical explanation of why the killing curse didn't work on you. This also led me to believe that Dumbledore must have also guessed that Vodemort was your soul mate". Sirius explained.

"If it is the truth then the prophecy cannot be correct. But if so then what was is it Harry smashed at the Ministry?" Hermione asked.

"Remus believes that there might actually be a prophecy about you two but it might not be what Dumbledore let you hear. If that's the truth then James and Lily died for nothing" Sirius said morosely. "I don't know what to believe but Dumbledore is now number one on my hit list".

"Do you think Voldemort knows about Dumbledore faking the prophecy and that's why he went after it in my fifth year?" Harry asked Sirius. "I'm not sure pup maybe, maybe not. Remus and I were waiting for you to find your soul mate to decide on further action. You being more powerful than the average wizard made us think that you would have two mates but I hoped Voldemort being one would be just speculation. So what are you going to do now?"

"That's why I wanted talk to you Sirius. What should I do? I want to contact them but I am afraid. Lucius is married and well would Voldemort even want to bond with me?" Harry asked miserably. "Don't worry pup whatever happen we are with you. I'll talk with Remus and let you know what he thinks. He may come up with a way to contact Voldemort and Lucius without alerting Dumbledor"

"Thanks Sirius" Harry replied and watched the mirror went blank, he gave a sigh and turned towards Ron and Hermione. "So who are your soul mates?" Ron suddenly looked sad and said, "It's Blaise". This shocked Harry. "Then why are you two acting like soul mates? Blaise also knows you are his soul mate right. So why?"

"Because I don't want Dumbledore to find out. He hates Slytherins, if he found about Balise he would tell Mum and I don't know what they would do to Balise" Ron said with a pained expression. "I'm sorry Ron, both of you suffer because of me" Harry said sadly. "No Harry, don't blame yourself. Even if we were under Dumbledore's thumb Mum wouldn't approve of Blaise"

"He's right Harry we are with you till the end, don't blame yourself. Besides we are just biding our time. Once we are free from Dumbledore we wouldn't need to hide. Yes yes I'm coming to that part no need for the puppy dog look Harry. My soul mate is Charlie Weasley" Hermione said smiling.

"Well Charlie's a good guy, he doesn't share Molly's views so congratulations Hermione! As for Blaise well I'm sure if Moony could come up with something soon so we won't need to act like Dumbledores lap dogs" Ron laughed at that to which Harry joined. Hermione smiled at their behavior.

Feeling somewhat light hearted, the three of them went toward the Gryffindor tower to complete their homework and act like the perfect Golden Trio.

Please let me know what you think.
