After Draco had left the mansion it was just the dark lord, Severus and I alone we kept looking at each other trying to figure out if that just really happened. I had never seen Draco like that...ever.
Well that was...interesting" Tom murmured to himself, which in return got nods from both Sev and I.
"indeed"
"We should go after him" Sev inquired quickly standing to his full height and going to the door; apperating to the Dursley's , when we got there my veela senses smelled blood immediately.
"God Sev do you smell that?" I asked turning to Severus and seen just by his face that he indeed did smell it, sense Severus being a vampire he could pick up the scent of blood from a couple miles away, of course with that comes the blood lust that I was used to seeing in his eyes, but it wasn't there like it normally was instead he looked like he wanted to throw up just from the smell alone.
"Sev?" I walked over to him
"let's just hurry up and get them I don't want to be here more than I have to be" and walked up to the doorway seeing as the door was on the floor in a million pieces most likely from my son. We all walked in the house and I not watching out where I was going ran into a vase and caused it to hit the floor turning it into a million little bits.
"follow me their upstairs" the dark lord said turning to the stairs and going up them two at a time when we all were up stairs we went to the door that was open, what I saw just made my blood boil Draco was standing in front of a twin size bed with Harry in his arms bleeding, I then looked in a corn where I smelled someone else's blood and seen parts of a person strung around everywhere.
"Dragon?" I cautiously walk to him, he's in his veela form.
"Dragon we here to help your mate you've got to let us help" all I got was a growl warning me to stay back. I was quickly losing my temper.
"Dragon if you don't let us help him then he will die! Do you want that for your mate, for him to die?" I know I was being an ass but that was the only way right now to get him to see reason. Draco slowly looked down at his mate and in second his fangs and wings were gone.
"Good, now Draco we need to get him to the manor so he can be checked over" Draco looked up at me with pain filled eyes, it absolutely broke my heart to see my son like this, if Harry didn't pull through then Draco would die.
~Draco~
I heard what my dad said I just couldn't bring myself to move, I felt like I was drowning and nobody was going to throw me a life line but what they didn't understand was that Harry was my life line and the only way to save me was to save Harry, so with what strength I had left I started to walk out of the room and out of the house that caused my mate so much pain.
"I'll protect you, I promise"
~Harry~
What's going on? Where am I? I hear voices, is it Remus and Sirius? No it doesn't sound like their voices. What happened? I slowly started to open my eyes, but it was a little hard to. Finally after five long minutes of trying to open my eyes I succeed. I looked around and seen that I'm in a bed but its too comfortable to be my mine, I look around some more and see I'm not in my room or my house.
"Where am I?" I ask no one in particular by how hoarse my voice is I can tell I've been out for quit sometime.
"Harry! Your awake, guys he's awake" I turn my head to see a dark figure but I cant make out who it is 'the voice sounds familiar, who is it?' then there are other people coming into the room. One of them finally comes out of the dark and it's...
"Harry? How are you feeling?" he asked in a gentle voice
"Am I hallucinating?" that's what it's got to be Mr. Malfoy would never be nice to me, would he? No it's a trick! 'If it's a trick , then why do you feel safe here' that shocked me but at the same time it didn't I have always felt comfortable in the Malfoy's presence.
"No you're not hallucinating" Severus comes out next while chuckling at my bizarre question, I look at him for a few seconds before deciding it's time to get answers. I start to push myself to sit up but I end up falling down on my back Mr. Malfoy comes and helps me sit up.
"I want answers" I would have sounded firm if it weren't for my voice cracking, Snape went and got a cup of water from a table opposite of me.
You will get your answers in due time for now though you will come join us for dinner and eat we can't have you passing out on us again can we?" and with that the men walked out of the room giving me some privacy to change. I slowly got out of the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in, in my inter life and seen a pair of clothes on a chair right beside the table that was across from the bed. Taking the clothes in my hand I inspect them, the shirt is a simple green long sleeve and the pants were black pajama bottoms. When I put them on I was surprised to see that they fit 'They probably put a sizing charm on them' with that in mind I opened the door and seen that there was a house elf waiting for me
"Sorry for taking so long?" I said feeling a little bad for taking my time to inspect the clothes
"Not at all, masters be waiting for you in eating room? the elf had better grammar than most house elves did.
"Well then led the way and we were off.
When we arrived there the elf opened the door up for me and what I seen next caused my breathe to catch in my throat, I haven't seen many dining rooms but hell this had to be the most breath taking dining room I had ever seen. The wall paper was decorated with cupids and the ceiling was an illusion of a starry night sky and candles decorated the whole room, in the middle sat four men looking at me with amusement in their eyes.
"Would you like to join us or keep looking at the ceiling?" Lucius asked with a smirk I just shook my head took a seat.
"Uh now... what am I doing here?" they exchanged nervous glances
"Because I rescued you" I turn to the person who said that and was shocked to find that it was Malfoy.
"wh-what?" I ask not believing what I'm hearing
"You heard me, I saved you"
"I thought that was a dream?" I look down at my lap 'so it was real? Draco really did come?'
"You should be glad that I got there just in time or..." Draco stopped talking, I look back up and see that he is visible shacking
"Why...Why did you save... me?" Draco froze
"That's enough for now, you can ask him questions after dinner" I whip my head around and see the dark lord, but he doesn't look like the slimy ugly person I seen not even a few months ago.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you" he said raising his hands
"I'm not" I said back in full honesty that seemed to shock everybody in the room cause they looked at me like I was crazy, I sigh and start to explain
"I'm not scared of you, I never was in fact Remus, Sirius and I were going to schedule a meeting with you to see what you would think about if we were to join your ranking" now that got a reaction all of their eyes looked like they would pop out of their heads at any minute.
"Well?" I was waiting for an answer, they just kept staring at me like I had two heads or something.
"Uh I... well... why?" the dark lord stammered out his question
"Because I tired of people pretending they know what's best for me, they act like I don't have a brain have of the time and 'sides I have always been a follower of the dark I just needed people to believe I was on the lights side for my plan to work" that got me even more silence I figured that much finding out that the 'boy who lived' had always been a follower of the dark could shock anyone.
"GREAT... now we will for sure win the war... but... why wait until now?" the dark lord continued with his questions
"Because... because Remus doesn't have much time and if he's away from his mate and me much longer than the madness with in him will take over his body and he's one of the only people I have left in this world" I said looking down at my hands that were on my lap
"WHAT?" that caused me to jump and seen that it was Lucius with is hands on the table and he had a pissed of look on his face 'what's wrong with him?'
"Yeah, but the thing is he won't tell me or Sirius who his mate is only that he's married and hates... him... oh shit" I looked into Lucius' eyes and they held pain in them 'is he... no that couldn't be right could it?'
"Mr. Malfoy are ... are you..." it was hard to get the words out what if he wasn't would he laugh at me for asking such a stupid question 'but what if he is... I've got to ask' and with knew determination I looked into his eyes again and asked
"Are you his mate?" all I got in response was a shocked look
"I... don't... know, but what I do know is that he is mine" and that was the only answer I needed, I jumped out of my chair and hugged the breath out of him
"Thank you, thank you, thank you" I kept saying it like it was a mantra
~Lucius~
I was in shock I had just been getting ready to eat my dinner and Potter has to go and say that, then he asks me if I was Remus' mate, not to mention he shocked the hell out of me by hugging me until I couldn't breath.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you" was all he kept saying like it was the only thing keeping him sane. I looked down and just stared at the boy that was in my arms all of a sudden I heard and growl and looked up to see my son glaring at me with the daggers of death in his eyes I quickly got out of the boys arms 'damn my son can be possessive' that thought put a smile to my face, he was so much like me it wasn't funny.
"You've got to tell him, tell him how you feel" Harry looked into my eyes with hope and excitement, I don't think I could have said no if I wanted to not that I did just imaging my arms wrapped around my mate and nuzzling his neck gave me goose bumps all over and I think Draco seen this because he started laughing at me.
"I..." damn it what was wrong with me why couldn't I say anything
"It's alright to be scared, everybody is when confessing to the one they love" that just caused me to chuckle oh how right he was, I looked over to Draco and raised an eyebrow, he looked away with a slight pout on his lips which just caused me to chuckle some more.
"yeah your right, so... what do I do?" Harry just grinned at me
"Well I was supposed to meet them at the leaky cauldron to find out when we should schedule an appointment with the dark lord, but I have a better idea let's go to the Grimuald place" turned around and walked out the door forgetting his food, we all just stood there and looked at each other then nodded at each other and followed Harry to the fire place where he already had some flow in his hand, we each pass it around and one by one we go into the fire place and shout 'GRIMAULD PLACE". When we arrived there we seen Remus and Sirius looking at us like we were going to eat them or something I would mind eating Remus... no, no bad Lucius'
"Remus, Sirius" Harry called out and went to go hug them while the rest of us just stood there awkwardly
"CUB WHERE IN THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN" Remus was pissed and everybody backed up when they seen his eyes turn from ocean blue to gold in under a few seconds.
"Hehe... I was..." Harry looked down at the ground
"Don't you dare lie to me Moony's already having a fit as it is, I will ask you once more... where were you?" this time Remus made sure to lower his voice but only by a fraction.
"sigh... I was at the Malfoy's mansion" Remus and Sirius seem to finally see that they weren't alone and for a brief second Remus and I locked eyes before he looked away.
"Why...?" Sirius asked through clenched teeth which in return caused Harry to flinch
"Because... because Vernon... he ... Dudley... they beat me with... bats and... Vernon he...tried.. to ..." and with that Harry broke down and Sirius hugged him to his chest and looked at Remus with fearful eyes. We all looked over at Remus and we all took another step back, he was breathing threw his nose deeply so deeply in face you could he him and he had the look of murder in his eyes.
"What...did...he...try...to...do?" oh yes Remus Lupin was livid never in his whole life had Sirius seen Remus like this
~Remus~
I was livid absolutely livid. That man hurt my cub 'kill. must kill. got to kill who hurt cub'
"Remus you have got to calm down" Sirius looked at me in fear
"He hurt my cub... your pup and your just going to stand there and not do anything about it?" I was pissed
"Yes that's exactly what I'm going to do look Harry needs you and I'm not going to let you near him if you can't control Moony" I look over at Sirius and there Harry was crying and looking at me with sad eyes, I sigh and start to calm down just when I felt the last of my anger fade Harry was in my arms in milliseconds
"I'm sorry" I say and bury my head in his hair taking in his scent, his scent had always relaxed me. My ears perked up when I heard growling I look in the direction of the four men standing there and see the youngest out of them which is Draco Malfoy looking at me and Harry and I take a whiff of his scent and my eyes widen he was veela and it looked like Harry was his mate judging by his reaction, that just caused me to smile 'well at least he's in good hands now'
"What are you guys doing here?" I asked still holding Harry to taunt Draco which it seemed to be working judging by how his eyes get darker
"Well you see young Harry hear told us about the little plan you guys had" the dark lord speaks up when no one else does and when he comes forward and bow my head in respect to him that seemed to shock him and the others behind him (wow there is a lot of plp being shocked lolzz)
