Chapter 21

The rest of the holidays went by without incident, something that made all the 'special' students nervous. This quiet period led to the beginning of school once again. Harry sighed as he rubbed his forehead and continued to search through the books that Severus had brought them. He was determined to find out more about moon mages. Of course, he had taken a break for the holidays, but only because he was given no choice. Draco and Severus had ganged up on him and banned him from doing any more research. They had told him that he had done enough for the time being.

Draco was sitting next to Harry in the library and took his hand. Harry looked at him. Draco kissed Harry's hand and pulled him up from his seat. Harry shoved the books into his bag one handed. Draco chuckled, which drew a smile from Harry. It was a quiet moment that they were enjoying. After all, they didn't know how long it would last. Draco then dragged Harry out of the library and down to the Charms classroom. This wasn't their favourite class for various reasons. Draco really had a problem with the teacher, especially during the few times that he had seen Alana Emerson. She was the man's mate.

They reached the room and Harry glanced at Remus. The man was once again talking to his mate. The two were whispering in hushed tones that unnerved the three vampire students. They couldn't hear them, which proved that there was something between the two that kept anyone with exceptional hearing from listening in. Draco glared at Remus and wanted to say something, but Harry began to pull Draco towards the back of the room. He wanted to put as much space between them and Remus as he could. It came from their dislike. It wasn't a vampire and werewolf war thing; there was just something that they didn't trust after what they had overheard as first year students. Of course, they had been taken out of school not long after that.

Blaise walked into the room with a smile on his face. He was obviously glad about something. He walked over and sat on the other side of Harry with that smile still present. Harry watched him for a moment and smirked. "Well, it looks as if you have a potential. That's great. So Draco and I aren't the only ones, though I hear your twin still hasn't found a potential." Blaise glared at Harry. None of them could be sure whether it was because Harry said a potential or if it was about Simoné. It could have been in regards to both, but nobody knew what it was about anyways.

Draco laughed a bit and decided to jump in on the teasing. It was better than focusing on the man that was in front of the room. "You're not denying it." He reached around Harry and poked Blaise in the arm. Blaise glared more darkly at him. Harry just laughed at all of that.

Blaise rolled his eyes. "We're just talking. That means that you have no reason to goad me." That got Harry and Draco to stare; their eyes were wide at what he had said. The two stared at Blaise silently. He had basically admitted to what they were saying, though he wasn't saying it in the most direct way. Draco snapped out of it and shook his head. He then turned towards the classroom door and watched as students came into the classroom. They were sort of straggling in, talking amongst themselves. It was obvious that they were more interested in socializing than attending classes. The three stopped talking and staring at Alana and Remus. The two had stopped their whispering. Alana leaned forward and kissed Remus. He kissed her back. She then left the room as the last student came in. It was almost as if she knew exactly what was coming. The moment that she had exited the room was when the bell rang to signify the start of classes. Draco and the other two didn't know what to think as Remus went from a whispered conversation to teaching. He was more suspicious than before. They would keep an eye on him. It was what they had to do.

A/N: There we go, hope you like this small piece to add to the mysteries. Later.
