Draco held a potion close to his chest as he and Severus portkeyed back to the location of the meeting. They had been gone an hour all told. Draco looked around nervously his father was there sitting looking smugly back at Draco. Draco stuck his nose in the air and ignored his father.
Lucius was a monster, trying to kill Draco's mate. How dare he his Veela hissed.
"Draco Malfoy, Marcus Flint, Leon Flint forward now." A voice boomed startling Draco for the dark lord never sounded so healthy. He gave Severus a quick side longed glance and frowned. This may not work.
"Bellatrix will apparate with the three of you. You are to retrieve Harry Potter and bring him back. Failure my young pets will be punished. You understand. Young Malfoy what is it you went to Severus for?"
"Severus gave a potion for the Flints and I to drink to calm us," Draco said simply holding out the potion. The dark lord nodded. Draco opened the potion and swigged the first bit and passed it down the line. The potion was a sleeping spell potion. Though Draco had an adrenaline potion in him already to cancel the effects of both.
Bellatrix smiled simply. She could not wait for the young death eaters to get their paws on Potter and bring him back. Her lord would allow her first strike at the demon. She would Crucio him, summon boils to his skin. Oh she couldn't wait to have Harry Potter in her grasps. Oh yes, Harry Potter would suffer for everything and anything.
"Come along young ones. We have a boy to torture." Bellatrix said and winked to Draco who pushed his long white blonde hair out of his face. The three boys and Bellatrix chose to apparate outside St. Mungos and entered the hospital. Bellatrix stopped on the fourth floor and ushered the three boys forward. The Lord only had her here in case something happened and they needed help, or they deceived the lord.
The three young soon to be death eaters walked stiffly down the hall. Draco listened to his feet pound against the floor. The mediwitches didn't even pause to look up. It made Draco want to strangle every one of those girls. No one even seemed to notice the three boys on the floor of infamous Harry Potter. When they reached the door Draco groaned softly and almost let out a cry. He had to open the door. Slowly he turned the handle and entered the room.
"Draco?" Andromeda said and looked at her nephew then saw the two boys with him. Draco stepped in and Andromeda shouted "Colloportus" The door behind Draco slammed shut keeping the two boys out.
"What is the meaning of this?" Andromeda asked pushing her nephew into a wall. Nymphadora stood protectively over Harry who just looked at a loss of what was happening. Sirius sat in the lounge chair watching the events. If they take Potter no loss.
"I'm… Sorry" Draco said quietly and raised his wand "Petrificus Totalus" Draco said strongly and Harry, Andromeda, Nymphadora and Sirius froze in place. Draco frowned; he did not know they would be there. This made things more difficult. Draco blasted the door open to the hospital.
"I have him," Draco said lifting Harry in his arms.
When Bellatrix saw this she ran to them and shot the killing curse at everyone in the hall she saw then smirked. "The mark, the mark. Young ones I must leave the mark!" She squealed and they rushed out of St. Mungos to apparate"Morsmordre" She screamed and pointed her wand to the sky. The snake and skull appeared the Dark Mark left its mark over St. Mungo's.
Draco watched horrified as the two Flints started shooting curses at people in public. Draco hugged Harry closer. He knew they dared not to touch Harry. Bellatrix rounded the Flints back to her and commanded them to head back to the spot immediately. The young death eaters Draco included apparated back to the spot Bellatrix next.
When Draco, and the Flints headed to The Dark Lord. The Death Eaters cheered (well the less noble ones) the dark lord clapped. Bellatrix appeared beside him. She smiled knowingly. Everyone was so happy. Draco felt disgusted his Veela side was going crazy and wanted to kill every person there. It was getting hard to control the Veela again. Especially when he knew he was not in total control of the situation.
"Bring the prisoner to me." The Dark Lord squealed out. Draco walked to the lord. Flint's stayed back and just bowed to them. Draco set Harry on the ground and bowed to the dark lord. He slipped a hand on Draco's wrist rubbed his Slytherin necklace and a twisting of stomach a shot of pain and Draco and Harry were out of the situation.
When Draco arrived at their location he did the counter spell on Harry who looked at Draco baffled. The spell froze Harry but he was aware of everything around him. Harry tried to sit up. Draco shook his head no. Harry obeyed.
"Why did you do that Malfoy… Why?" Harry asked stricken with fear, regret, and hate.
"I can't tell you yet. I can't kill you though. I just may have started a pure blood civil war." Draco muttered and sat on the chair beside the sofa. "Bloody hell Potter do you know what I have done? What I have pulled off?"
"I don't know Malfoy but why won't you kill me? Why won't you just let me die? Let me die! Why won't they let me die?" Harry was babbling. Draco got up and put a finger to Harry's lips.
"I told you before Harry I could never kill you, or anyone." Draco said staring straight into Harry's dull sad green eyes. "I don't think you should try to hurt yourself anymore. I am on to you." Draco said very sternly and added a copyrighted Slytherin Malfoy glare.
Harry lay there weakly he was exhausted. He had just been taken from the hospital and met with the dark lord and then saved by his school rival Draco Malfoy. He was still alive. Oh the world was so bitterly ironic. Then Draco said he couldn't kill him. What gives? Draco was always out to hurt him.
"Draco… I'm tired" Harry said softly and closed his eyes. "I think you have lost your mind."
"Sleep my lion… and it is you who have lost your mind." Draco said softly and smirked by the shocked look coming from the Gryffindors face. "We're in a house of Black and not one by blood bonds. This one is bonded only to my mother and her mother and myself. It was a house they chose to create together. We will be safe Harry."
"We?" Harry said softly and shifted in the couch. Draco settled a blanket over him.
"Yes we… I won't let them hurt you ever again. No one." Draco said and watched as the shorter boy fell asleep. He really had started a whole new war. No doubt there would be more activity of Death Eaters in the next few days.

Mediwitches were all over the outside of St. Mungos trying to heal the injured from the death eater attack. A sense of panic was across the London Wizarding World. No one was out everyone had dispersed back to their houses. Fear that one of their own would be lost.
The counter spell had been applied to Andromeda, Sirius and Nymphadora. The three Blacks were questioned. They told them what they heard and saw then released.
They all went back to Grimmauld. All three no idea where the Veela or his mate were located.
"I hope they are ok." Nymphadora said over a cup of tea. For once the Weasley's seemed to be elsewhere. Nymphadora suspected they had gone to Diagon Ally to Fred and George.
"I am sure everyone is fine darling. Draco and Harry especially." Andromeda said lightly and smiled. It was hard to smile when the Death Eaters attacked. Still Andromeda tried her best. "Love, have you found a job yet?"
"No… I've applied at some schools. Hogwarts needs a DADA instructor and they are allowing teacher assistance this year so I have applied for DADA, Herbology and Potions. I was good in all three." Nymphadora smiled. "Though I made quite a mess of the potions lab."
"Oh god yes I remember the letters I received from Severus. Sirius it was the funniest episode. The worst is she didn't do it on purpose!"
The three sat there in silence again. It was one thing to try to make jokes at a time like this. But somehow they just couldn't. So instead they sipped their tea and tried to think of something happier.
"Remus will be back tomorrow" Nymphadora said weakly and sighed. "I'll tell him."
At the Meeting.

"Severus Snape! Lucius Malfoy. Here now. The rest are dismissed. We shall party again soon." The dark lord glared as two of his inner circle men came to him. "Crucio!" He shouted watching the two men suffer he then let them go.
"Where is Draco?" He spoke and it came more as a forcing hiss.
"I don't know my lord I don't know! I didn't know my son would do this he is an embarrassment an embarrassment to my family to me and to our kind. My lord I don't know my lord you must trust me!" Lucius sobbed out clenching at the dark lords robes.
"You Severus… what else did you give Mr. Malfoy before you came back."
"I gave him a potion to calm them and a speech not to fail my lord. I would not deceit you so."
The Dark lord kicked Severus and casted Crucio over him and was not letting go. Lucius watched in horror and then leapt at the Dark Lord begging him to stop doing that to Severus begging him to stop. The Dark lord grinned and continued strengthening the Crucio.
Lucius was screaming now. All the while Bellatrix stood back with a smile.
"My lord perhaps Draco acted alone." Bellatrix said feeling that her lord better stop before their spy was lost.
The lord stopped and nodded "Very well. Lucius take you and your mate and go. You are suspended from the next meeting you will not partake in the fun of muggle killing at the next marking. I suggest you show me you and your mate is true to me otherwise consider yourself dead. Find Harry Potter and your son… I will eliminate them both when the time comes. First I hope to implement torture. Now go. Bellatrix to my chambers."
"Yes My Lord" All three said in unison.
Lucius apparated he and Severus back to Malfoy manor. Narcissa was there when they arrived she took one look at Severus and shot Lucius a very angry eye.
"What have you done dear husband?" She said and got to work healing power on her husband's proper mate.
"Cissa… he betrayed us … Dragon." Severus whimpered and gasped for air as Narcissa worked on him. Yes Severus and she did not get along, but now with things as they were they acquired a friendly bond through owls and floo.
"You betrayed my son Lucius… my son what did you do. Where is Draco?"
"I don't know where Draco is. I told my lord where Harry potter was. I in no way betrayed our son Narcissa. Where is he? I'm sure you know you always know."
Narcissa finished mending Severus and walked over to Lucius slapping him soundly across his most noble face with a glare that turned into a polite smile.
"I Narcissa Black Malfoy will not have you lie to me or treat my son badly. He is of noble blood… no matter the dirt in you, MY blood clears that righ up. Your nothing but money and fame. I am pure and perfect and loved by both sides. Do you understand that Lucius. If you hurt either Draco or Harry I will destroy you. As far as your mate goes, I have been more then understooding. Take care of him. I have business to attend." Narcissa smiled at her husband kissed his cheeks and walked out of the room and apparated to Grimmauld.

Draco called for a house elf to bring tea and soup for Harry. He had slept for three hours and was now up again and very alert… in fact alert enough that he was screaming at Draco and calling insults at him. Insulting his bloodline. At this point Draco insulted it too.
It was funny Harry did not ever make fun of the Black name. Then again he seemed to have a majority of his living family on his side.
"Harry calm down for a second here is some soup and tea. Your nothing but skin and bone"
"Harry?" Harry questioned accepting the soup and tea.
"Yes well. We have to stay here until I suppose school." Draco said and sighed. "I didn't want to get you involved Harry I never thought you would be involved." Draco smiled while Harry ate the food. He felt happy again and the Veela was less anxious again.
"Why are you doing this for me?" Harry questioned softly.
"My mother she will come here. She will bring Remus and Severus with her. Everyone will be ok… I promise it will work"
Draco helped Harry sit more comfortably. He smiled inwardly at the blush that spread across Harry's face as Draco touched him. In fact Harry seemed quite embarrassed that Draco was touching him and almost babying him. The Veela was in love with touching the brunette green-eyed love.
"I don't understand" Harry muttered as Draco wrapped arms around to stuff pillows behind Harry's back. Harry rested his head against Draco. "Why are you being nice to me." As if suddenly things started to connect Harry glared at Draco. "You were spying on me… you're Dragon that's why I haven't seen him since."
"You're a quick one. Severus said I would have to tell you about your missing pet. I am Dragon. Severus sent me to protect you."
"Inheritance… you're a Veela too"
"Yeah my animal form is snake."
"Why are you doing this Draco? Why can't you just let me die? Why won't you kill me? Why won't everyone just let me die!" Harry was crying now. Draco frowned and shook his head.
"Don't you see Harry? You are the one."
Draco said very softly and Harry looked up in shock. Harry had his mouth wide opened. Had Malfoy just called him the one? The Veela mate the one.
"Oh god. No." Harry said.
The Veela screamed and frowned. Its mate denied it. Draco held a hand to his chest and stood.
"Yes I must rest." Draco said and he collapsed on the floor. His mate just denied him.
"Draco?" Harry said worried for the tall platinum blonde Veela. Harry did not have the energy to get up to check on Draco. They were stuck.
