Draco hadn't realised how fast the brunette could move until he had to follow him. He nearly lost sight of him a couple of times, before actually losing him. That's when the panic kicked in... Normally Harry could sense when Draco was close; the fact that he didn't notice automatically put the Slytherin on edge.

After hurrying (because Malfoy's never run) around a corner and quickly realising Harry had disappeared, Draco ran through the places Harry most likely would have gone in his mind. Gryffindor tower? No. Great Hall? No. So... either the room of requirement or outside.

Draco thought that it would be better to check the room of requirement first, as it wouldn't take as long. But then he back tracked and decided to go to Gryffindor tower instead to grab the Marauders Map. It would make the task of finding Harry a lot easier and faster.

Not long after securing the map the Slytherin located Harry on it.

"Shit."

He was near the forbidden forest. After the injuries Harry had suffered last night when he was in there, Draco did not want his boyfriend anywhere near there. Completely forgetting all about being a Malfoy, the blonde broke into a pounding run toward the entrance to the castle.

After stepping around, yelling at and plain shoving people, Draco finally reached the doors and continued to run out of them. Just outside of the castle he stopped, caught his breath and checked the map. By now Harry had made it into the forest. Not good.

Having mentally calculated how to get to the spot where his boyfriend had seemed to have stopped at, Draco muttered "Mischief Managed" and shoved the map back into a pocket in his jeans and ran as fast as he could.

"Welcome back, Mr Potter. We were worried we'd hurt you too much earlier."

This statement cut through the haze in Harry's mind and allowed him to process where he was. And he realised quickly that he didn't want to be able to process it. He was back in the forest, seemingly the exact same spot as before… including being tied to a bloody tree. He suppressed a groan.

With a lot of effort he calmly asked "Why did you bring me here again?"

"We need your help, Mr Potter."

"For what? And why me?" he was starting to get agitated but was trying not to let it show. The Gryffindor had learnt from his last encounter with these creatures.

"Wise move, Mr Potter. We are very dangerous if you decide to cross us. However if you choose to help us then it can only end well for you. We need you because you have the connections to do what we need done. As for the reason we need your help… that will be revealed to you at a later date. You will gain much from helping us. We are an ancient and powerful race. It will be in your greatest interest to do as we ask."

The thing that was talking was the same one that had addressed the brunette the night before. His tone was a lot gentler now, though, more seductive, more entrancing…

"NO! Get away from him!" that was Draco's voice. Harry focused all of his attention in the direction the shout had come from. The Slytherin stood between two trees, wand pointed at the creature closest to Harry and the look on his face was frightening… It was hot.

A/N Okay so guys I need some help... I have no idea what the creatures are haha my bad. So... if anyone has any ideas they will be greatly appreciated and of course I will credit you if I use them in anyway =D

Love you all!
