Wizarding War three commenced - Voldemort and Grindelwald united

A 'Historic' union, has been reportedly established when following a chaotic break-out at Nurmengard prison.

Gillard Grindelwald, 114, was on remand at Nurmengard Prison in the cliff sides of the German alps for his famous and unspeakable hate crimes in the 1940's. A routine visitation privilege commanding at 11:57pm Saturday morning from two British wizards allowed the war lord to side apparate from the highly guarded prison.

Grindelwald's escape attempt only became apparent thirty minutes later when all five on duty officers heard unsavory spell casting, upon investigation it was established that Gillard Grindelwald's cell was indeed unoccupied. It was the glowing green light of the famous dark mark lighting up the dark and dankly cell the made authorities point to the union.

Due to the extreme callous that will result following a Grindelwald and Voldermort union - the English and German government are in the plans of combining efforts. We aim to minimize the war effort before the wizarding world is permitly altered.

Harry begun to pale, his porridge spoon shaking in his cold hand.

"It's okay love... we will get through this." Purred Draco, taking the spoon out of his mate hand.

"I thought he was dead" Harry whispered.

"Who?"

"Grindelwald. I am sure the chocolate frog cards said that Dumbeldore killed him?"

"First off- please don't ever credit your information from a confection product. Secondly, Grindelwald was arrested by German officials and placed in solitary confinement. His arrest had nothing to do with Dumbeldore"

"There is more ... last night ... when he lifted the barrier, he told me he was going away for a week. When I asked where... he ... he ... said Germany"

"I think it's just coincidental. Professor Dumbeldore wants to end to war, not amplify it" Draco mentioned, scooping a spoonful of porridge

"Do you think this was Voldermort's omega plan?" the question leaving his mouth, before he could think. The answer beginning to terrify him.

"No, I think this whole "union" thing is very unlike the dark lord. He is not the type of person who would willing share credit"

"So...? Why did he do it?"

"Who knows. That man is still a bloody lunatic at the end of the day"

Harry and Draco left breakfast, hand in hand. While the entire school knew they were bonded, this was the first time they have been so physical. It was only after an endless supply of kisses in the great hall, that they finally went their separate ways. each one longing for the other.

The talk of the impending third wizarding war dominated most of the convocations in all of Harry's classes that Day. Some were worried, others were cheering ... but despite the house differences their was one questions that all houses kept asking- who was the second accomplish?

Ron's guess of course spoke the loudest and most stereotypical... according to the Red-head Harry was betrothed to the son of someone who freed one of the darkest lords in all of the history books. Ron's suggestive opinion begun to spread to wild fire; the rumor gracing every year in every house. This of course, lead to Draco being welcomed back to the house of snakes with open arms. it was only a matter of hours before Draco regained his title of "slythren prince".

Qudditch that afternoon was once again full tension, only this time it wasn't just Ron that was taking verbal and physical shots at him. Gretchen had finally come to the conclusion that, Harry is indeed with Draco; now and forever. Even though this never stopped her before, after the events of this morning she begun to realize that a Malfoy was not a person you would want to mess with, so in order to fight off months of embarrassment she set her targets on Ron.

And what has Ron being doing the last week? He has been attacking Harry.

It was only 30 minutes into the Game when Katie called a halt.

"THis is getting beyond a joke! I will not have Infighting in my team!"

"He started it!" Screamed Gretchen, pointing to Harry.

"How? How could Harry have possibly started it?" Katie asked

"Because he is on Malfoy's side instead of my boyfriends!"

"Boyfriend?!" Ron questioned

"Yeah. That's why I am helping you. I am your girlfriend" Gretchen replied, flying over to Ron, placing a hand on his shoulder. Ron bit his lips and stared at Harry, his eyes pleading for help. Harry could hear Ginny giggle behind him, this caused him to smirk. Perhaps Karma was returning.

"Look you two!" Katie said, pointing his Gretchen and Ron "this is your last warning. Leave your antics off the field."

"We will if he does" Gretchen replied pointing to Harry

"I am serious Gretchen! If you say one more thing, I will suspend you!"

"You need me Katie! No one else can shoot like me" Gretchen replied, tossing her blonde hair over her shoulder

"fine Gretchen! You are suspended. Francine will be taking your place. Do not come back tell you gain some manners, professionalism and some respect!. "

"You can't do that!"

"I am the captain! I can do what ever I want!"

"I am taking this up with mcgonagall!" Gretchen yelled back.

"Oh, please do!" Snaped Katie "and what about you Ron? Are you ready to get serious? Or are you still pouting?"

It was during this statement that Harry noticed a blonde young man make his way to the stands.

"As long as he leaves" Ron mumbled back, nodding his head to Malfoy

"Just ignore him Ron" Ginny replied

"How do I know he's not going to jinx me or something?"

"Because you are no worth my effort" Draco yelled from the stands

"That's it!"

"Enough! Let's call a quits for today!" Katie replied "I can not train my team with only 5 players".

Back in Draco's dorm, enjoying Friday nights meal of roast meat, roast vegetables, bread rolls & gravy - Harry finally decided to ask

"The only reason Ron was on edge today was ... well... he thought your dad was the second accomplice in freeing Grindelwald. "

"Of course he would think that! Weasley would say anything predigest towards my family"

"You can't really blame him though, you Haven't exactly opened your arms to him the last six years"

"Has he never heard of forgive and forget?"

"He is stubborn. Just like you"

"Perhaps... but I've never broken your ribs in a fit of rage"

"No my dear, all you did was break your own ego"

"Oh, shush you!" Giggled Draco, scooping up some pumpkin.

"So... could your dad of been the other accomplice?" Harry boldly asked, stabbing a carrot with his fork in his left hand while mopping his beef in Gravy with his right.

"No. My dad is still healing from the beta plan. He can barley walk, let alone fight"

"So, when do you think they'll... you know ... start?" Harry asked.

"Not for a while. Both the dark lord and Grindelwald likes to work with fear. The more we are in suspense, the more we are anxious"

That weekend Harry and Draco was content just to spend the entire time in Draco's dorm, between snuggling in the king size bed, being warmed up by the nearby fire, getting unnecessary competitive over a few games of wizards chess, gobble stones or exploding snap and having one too many debates on the need of expanding Hogwarts sporting clubs - Harry was happy to say that the domestic life he was beginning to create with Draco was bliss.

As Draco suggested the more days that went by without incident the more the wizarding world get anxious; by Thursday morning the Daily profit was grasping at straws, in attempt to bring some clarity to the mysterious darkness. When the daily profit reported that a storm resulting in Hail in Essex was the result of the dark duo - Harry knew that the world was slowing descending into madness.

It was Friday night, after a soothing winter dinner of beef Stew and buttered bread rolls, that Harry and Draco begun to snuggle into each other on the living room couch. Draco's head was resting on his mates lap his attention focused on reading his advanced Arithmancy textbook. Harry on the other hand had the latest addition of Qudditch today in his left hand, stoking Draco's blonde hair with his right.

Harry could hear the school clock chime 11:00 when the green eyed boy stretched, kissed his mate and got up. He froze.

His eyes pinned on the purple carpet under his feet.

"What's wrong love?" Draco asked, his eyes concerned.

Harry's green eyes vanished, his whites showing brightly and whole. A whimper escaping his lips.

It was 20 minutes later, that his green eyes become visible again. A single tear gliding down his pale skin

"What did you see?" Draco asked, pulling his mate into his lap. his hands covering Harry's now pale cheeks.

"The omega plan"
