Chapter 8

Draco was standing in a clearing he had never been in before. The grass was a bright green and littered with small blue flowers, the warm breeze causing them to sway back and forth. Draco turned slowly taking in the sight, it was peaceful. The sky was a brilliant blue with wispy white clouds and the sun was high in the sky. When he turned back around, he saw two people standing at the other end of the field with their backs to him. Draco took a few steps towards the pair then stopped; something was familiar about them. He started walking to the pair again and as he got closer, he saw one had raven black hair and the other chesnut brown. The two suddenly turned around and smiled at him, Draco stopped in his tracks. There stood Harry and Blake side by side smiling at him. They both held out their hand to him waiting for him to come to them. Draco continued to stare on at them not knowing who to go to. He wanted to go to Harry he missed him so much and treasured the time he was allowed to dream about him and be with him. Then there was Blake he wanted to go to him just as much and hold him.

When he didn't move both boys started walking up to him still smiling. Draco took a step back as they came to a stop in front of him. They both reached out at the same time and took his hands. Draco looked up at them, looking between the two with confusion.

"Ill always be yours Draco, Ill never leave you I promise." Both said at the same time.

Draco sat straight up in bed gasping, what had that dream been about. He oddly felt calm even though the dream was very confusing to him. He snapped his head to his right side when he felt movement. The previous night came back to him, the realization and acceptance he had had with his feelings of Blake. He smiled and laid back down next to the boy and placed his hand on his cheek but jerked it back when he felt the heat coming from the boy. Draco sat up quickly and started looking the boy over, he was to pale and shivering. He shook his shoulder to try and wake him up and frowned when the teen did not budge.

"Blake hey you need to wake up" Draco pulled the covers from him and put his arm under his shoulders pulling him up.

Blake groaned and shifted trying to get out of Dracos arms. When he could not his eyes fluttered open and met Dracos. He looked confused but then realization kicked in and he sat up some. The movement caused Blake to hiss and his hand flew to his stomach and he doubled over, his body covered in sweat now.

"Blake your ill, I'm going to get Madam Pomfrey" the blond was out of bed and putting his slippers on.

"No! Snape, you have to get him" was his breathless reply.

"What the hell will he be able to do you need a medi witch"

Draco spun around when he heard a knock at the door. He ran over and threw open the door to find Blaise standing there looking around worriedly. When he spotted Blake, he pushed his way inside quickly. Blake was now on the edge of the bed holding his stomach gasping.

"Im getting Madam Pomfrey that's the end of it!" Draco yelled

"You have to get Snape, he's the only one that can help him" Blaise said quickly fear in his eyes

"Since when did Severus become a medi wizard!"

"He's the only one that can handle Blakes condition in the first place and this has never happened before so its best if he knows first Draco now go get him" Blaise shouted back.

They heard retching which brought them back to the ill boy sitting next to Blaise on the bed. He was completely pale now besides his cheeks which were flushed his eyes were hollow looking and unfocused. Then without warning the brown haired boy went limp and about fell off the bed but Blaise caught him.

"We can't wait I'm taking him to the hospital wing, you go get Snape" Draco snapped then picked the boy up bridal style and ran out of the room. Blaise did not have time to argue because the blond was already gone. He had to get to snape quickly before anything dyer happened.

Blaise ran as fast as he could to Snapes chambers, he had to get him to the hospital wing before the situation turned out worse. Snape was going to be livid, one because it was five in the morning on a Saturday, and two because Draco had deliberately no listened and could have just put the boy in danger, and that's one thing Snape would not tolerate. Blaise finally made it to Snapes chambers and started beating on the door until it was thrown open. Snape stood there a frightening look on his face, his scowl said exactly how he felt to being woken up.

"Its Blake he woke up this morning extremely sick and passed out, you have to get to him now! I told Draco to get you, but he wouldn't listen he took him to Pomfrey!" Snapes eyes snapped open wide at this news.

"Why would you call for Draco to get me you should have left him in your alls rooms and came yourself" Snape hissed as he jerked on his cloak.

"He wasn't in our room he was…." Blaise stopped when Snape shot him a cold look. 'Yep were all in trouble now' the Italian thought.

The two quickly made their way to the hospital wing luckily not running into anyone. Snape burst through the door and looked around and saw Draco and Pomfrey leaning over the bed. Hopefully, they had gotten there in time before the two had found anything out. Snape briskly walked to the bed and pushed the nurse away.

"What have you done so far" he asked coldly, shooting a glare at Draco who returned it

"Nothing Professor but I need you to move so I can" the nurse snipped back

"I can't allow that; I'm putting this student in an isolation room now. No one is allowed in besides the Head Mistress, Blaise, Lupin, and myself. Am I understood Pomfrey" Snape ordered.

"This is my hospital wing Ill remind you Severus, you will move aside and let me care for this student this instant"

"I will not! If you want, call McGonagall but I am caring for him" with that Snape picked Blake up and made to go to the isolation room but was stopped by Draco.

Draco had his fangs bared and his eyes were blown wide and black. Snape stopped and sneered at the Blond.

"He needs to be cared for put him back down" Draco growled

"I am caring for him Draco but I can't if you don't move" Severus was ready to hex his God son if he didn't hurry up and move so he could get Blake in the room so no one would see him. Blaise stepped up to Draco and grabbed his arm.

"Draco, I promise Snape can take care of him and help him, but you have to get out of the way so he can do that" Blaise said calmly.

Draco glanced to Blake and saw him shivering and pale in his God fathers' arms. He finally stepped to the side but did not take his eyes off Severus or the boy in his arms. The older man made his way quickly to the isolation room off to the side in the very back of the ward. Draco was right on his heels when he was grabbed and hauled backwards.

"Mr. Malfoy you will stay out of that room, as I'm sure Snape has instructed everyone" was the snippy reply from McGonagall. Pomfrey was behind the head mistress with a sour look on her face.

"Snape is no medical professional as I'm sure you are aware. So he needs to be looked after properly" Draco was quickly becoming irate.

"Snape is well versed with Mr. Vipers condition and is the only one to see to him. Now you will calm yourself or I will take precautions"

In the short time it took to argue with the head mistress Severus had gotten Blake into the isolation room and closed, locked and warded the door. Draco ran over and started beating on the door madly. He took out his wand and through every hex and unlocking spell he could think of at the door. When nothing happened and he could not get though he rounded on the three people behind him.

His eyes were completely black his breathing heavy, his normal nails now talons. He started stalking towards Blaise and McGonagall his sharp teeth bared for all to see.

"You two are allowed in, you will take me in to him NOW" was the predatory screech that left the blonds mouth.

Blaise stumbled back and pulled his wand ready to strike at any moment. McGonagall did the same thing but was more composed, given the situation.

"Draco you need to calm down. Blake is being taken care of but none of us need to be in there including you. His genetic disorder has to be kept secret" Blaise tried to reason with his friend, which apparently was the wrong thing to do.

"Your keeping me from my MATE" Draco screeched and threw his self at Blaise.

All that was heard was three different people screaming stunning spells and then Draco fell to the floor knocked unconscious.

Blaise looked up to McGonagall and her back to him with the same expression of worry. Of course, anything concerning the boy currently in the isolation room was never easy. They got Draco to a bed and laid down and allowed Madam Pomfrey to tend to him, as Blaise and the head mistress waited for Snape to return.

Voices could be heard from somewhere far off in the fuzzy part of his brain. Everything was dark but seamed to be coming back slowly. There was an irritating buzzing in his head also that he just wanted to go away. Then it was like a flood gate had opened and everything came rushing back to him. Draco sat up abruptly looking around franticly for the sick boy that had been taken from him.

"Draco stay calm or you'll be knocked out again" Snape snapped to the blond.

Draco locked eyes with his godfather and bared his teeth. Snape sneered and didn't back down, bringing out his wand and aiming it right at Dracos chest. They continued this match of wills for some minuets before Draco looked away and sat back against the headboard of the bed and looked around the room. Blaise sat in a chair next to Dracos bed, Severus was at the foot of his bed towering over him still with that same sneer. McGonagall was no where to be seen which meant she left or was with the boy in the other room.

"Is he ok?" right now that's all Draco cared about was finding out if the smaller boy was ok.

"He'll be fine in a few hours Dray but you won't be able to see him until tomorrow" Blaise said from his side.

"Actually you will only see him in classes Draco" Draco snapped his head back to his God father and growled.

"Why the bloody hell not!"

"I believe your veela magic is what has caused this situation and current situation. You will have no contact with him besides what classes you share and at lunch. To insure this, he is being moved to a room that only a select few will have knowledge of. When wakes he will be informed of this. This is not up for discussion so do not argue with me." Snape went to turn to leave but was stopped by Blaise.

"With all due respect Professor, I think this needs to be discussed with Blake before you go making decisions for him." There was an edge of hostility to his voice.

"This is for his own protection I will not sabotage a students wellbeing and future because they are blinded and not thinking with their head" it was now Blaises turn to have a stare down with the potions professor.

Soon Blaise stepped aside and shook his head and sat back down in his chair.

"Your making a mistake Professor and we both know it" the Italian said softly.

Snape sneered again then snapped his eyes to Draco who was now sitting in the bed quiet and stunned. He was the one who had hurt Blake, but he hadn't meant to. He wanted to be close to Blake even now, but he wasn't willing to put his health in jeopardy either.

"Draco I'm sure I can trust you to abide by these rules correct" his look softened when he saw the look on his god sons face.

"Yes Professor Snape Ill follow these rules" the venom in those words caused Snapes heart to clench.

"Good, you can get ready and return to your rooms to rest" with that he swept from the room.

Blaise stood up and pulled the curtains around Dracos bed so he could get up and dressed in the cloths Blaise had brought for him. When he turned around the look of heart break about did him in. He walked over and hugged his friend.

"Draco we'll figure this out I won't let you all loose each other" he said

Draco slumped against his friend and hugged back fiercely. He could not believe this was happening, he lost Harry, and now Blake was being ripped away. It was like every time happiness was in his reach the fates ripped it away from him. He had just gotten a taste and shown there was a possibility to be with Blake and now nothing. He was truly being punished for his crimes he was sure of it now.

"Blaise, I can't, if I go near him ill hurt him" the blond choked out.

"Its not as simple as that Draco, there's more to it. I cannot explain now but I'm going to figure it out. I can say your magic isn't directly harming him though, so you don't need to be worried about that. So you can touch him and such and you won't be harming him, but you cant for long periods of time." Blaise pulled back with a determined look in his eye.

"What else is there Blaise you can tell me I won't say anything I want to help"

"Draco I cant tell you now or ever I can only give you what I already have" the boy paused then continued "remember sometimes there is more there than what you can see with your eyes" Blaise staired into Dracos eyes for a few moments then smiled.

"Come on Draco lets get you dressed and to your room you need food and some rest"

Draco nodded then dressed himself, all kinds of things flying through his head. Especially what Blaise had just said to him. He knew it meant something; Blaise wouldn't say something like that just for the hell of it. He was sure the boy was under an oath at this point with the way he was choosing his words and not saying too much, and obviously that oath had to do with Blake. The two boys exited the hospital wing and made their way to the dungeons.
