Bond length

Month: 6

Week: 0

Day: 1

Stage: Desire

"You know...'' Harry called from the shower, in the last few hours before their bond stage would go from lust to desire ''I dont know if i am proud or ashamed of us''

''Why would you be ashamed? you are engaged to me and i am awesome!" Draco giggled back.

'' we have almost finished our Lust phase... and... while we have tasted each others cock... we have yet to consummate our union"'

''consummate our union? that's quite a big word for a Gryffindor''

''oh Shush!''

''So, what? You want me to join you in the shower and take that sweet virgin arse of yours?'' Draco added back

''... Nah, I've already relived myself.''

''So... do you have a point in mentioning our lack of sex life?''

''No point... I just wanted to mention it.''

''We will boink when we do... after all Harry my love, we have an entire life time together"

''I am getting blue balls over here Draco.''

''believe me Harry, i can make them even more blue''

''I am sure, you will...''

Much to Harry's dismay, he was called once again to Dumbledors office just before lunch on Tuesday.

"You wanted to see me sir?" Harry asked. His transfiguration book in his arms.

"Yes, my boy. Just requiring an update on your relationship with Mr. Malfoy"

"I assume you require one with the three other bonded couples in Hogwarts?"

This caused, the twinkle in Dumbeldores blue eyes to dim; only for a moment, before it once again shinned and sparkled - this time with even more intensity.

"I have to admit Harry, my boy. I am quite concerned..."

"About?"

"I get the feeling that your dedication towards ending this war is not as strong as it once was"

"Well... sir, as everyone keeps pointing out. I am a child. It's hard to be dedicated in something you only get half the news for"

Their was a split second pause.

"Lemon drop?"

"No. Thank you"

"Perhaps a nice couple of tea?"

"No. Thank you"

"It's almost lunch. Perhaps you'll like a sandwich? I am personally fond of hazelnut & sliced prune"

"Sir, I am in a NEWT year. I really can't be missing much classes"

"Too right Harry. too right! I see Mr. Malfoy has made an impact of your motivation"

"Actually that was Herminoe"

"Ah! Yes. Miss Granger; how is she?"

"Err... fine?"

"And her feelings towards the bond?"

"Fine? Herminoe and Draco quite often discuss the uses of certain ingredients in some potion I've never heard of."

"I see..."

"When we meet at the library to study, I've often had trouble getting their attention while they are working together on their Runes homework"

"Speaking of Runes, Harry. Do you remember your Magical core projection? Your core had three colors, as appose to its usual one?"

"Yes, one was mine. One was Draco's ... you didn't know the third"

"I am afraid I do know. Now"

"Sir?"

"Tell me, my boy. How much do you know about horcruxes?"

"Horcruxes?!" Draco asked later that night, in the privacy of their dorm

"Yes. He said that I become one that night. When... he killed my parents...well... he guess he just killed my dad"

"That's impossible. A living horcrux is just not possible"

"Draco, I am just telling you want he said"

"Hmm... come. Let's talk to my Dad"

"Why?"

"Because no one knows more about dark magic then a Prince."

"And a Malfoy"

"Actually, in this case the Prince line is much dark then the Malfoy's"

"That's not possible"

"My Love, have I ever discussed the difference between dark magic and black magic with you?"

"Err..."

"Well... both light and dark magic uses magic directly from your magical core. The difference comes in how a witch or wizard perceives the spell. For example if I use the killing curse... would you say it is dark or light magic?"

"Dark?" With an obvious tone in his voice

"Well... what if I used it on a terminally Ill patient, someone who is in constant pain. Who... has been begging for death for years? Is it still dark magic?"

"Err... I don't know?"

"black magic, however; doesn't use your core at all. It's uses the magic that manifests from a sacrifice. It's often more pure and strong... but it's very illegal and very dangerous"

"And your dad does that?"

"No. But the Prince line is known for that. I am sure there is some ancient scrolls or artifacts that mention the subject"

So, that is where the teenagers found themselves Wednesday afternoon. Snape perched behind his desk, fingers to his lips, eye brows raised. But to Harry's shook a look a surprise was absent from his face.

"Did Dumbeldore mention how many horcruxes he created?"

"No sir. He just mentioned that he found out I was one"

"Hmm... well Potter... I have to once again be the bearer of bad news. Dumbeldore didn't JUST discover that you are a horcrux within the last few days or so ... he has known for years"

Once again in a matter of seconds Harry's world came crushing down.

"He has?"

"He has"

''but...a living horcruex?'' Draco interjected

''it is impossible... but the dark lord in notorious of defying the impossible"'

"So what do we do?" Draco finally asked

"Well... in short words. Potter - you will have to die"

"Come again Dad? I don't think I hear you properly"

"Not completely die ... just face death. By facing death; Harry will then destroy the piece of him that is the dark lord" the silence between Snape and the teenagers of was boarder line toxic, however lucky for the well trained spy, he was able to sense this. "Lucky for you Potter. You are already in this position"

"How? How his Harry is a position to die? Due tell me dad because i am very fucking curious! how have you already planned for my fiance to die?''

"Because, Draco; he was chosen to be our anchor. You're grandmother sent me an owl the other day. She was...concerned... as to the success of the merge with such a low voltage. I guess, i can tell her to amplify it now''

It was the statement that caused Draco to throw his hands in the air and sigh. his Malfoy prestige slipping. Snape, who was trying to ignore the mini tantrum his teenage son was throwing; broke it with next sentence.

"That's not the problem though..."

"What do you mean?" Harry asked

"The question isn't how to destroy the unintentional horcrux that's embedded in Harry; but how many intentional horcruxes he created"

"You think he made more?" Draco asked

"Undoubtedly"

It was after a dinner of beef country casserole for Harry, and curry chicken casserole for Draco Friday night; that once again they made their way to the resistance head quarters. A Friday night embarking that seems to slowly become a routine.

"Horcruxes?" Mad-eye questioned; shock racing through his voice. When shock races through an ex- ministry aurora; that had fought in two wizarding wars, you know thinge are getting scarily serious... well that is how Harry justified the shiver, that begun ran up his spine.

"And... Harry is one?" Lily asked. Holding her 16 year old, betrothed son in her arms.

"It seems though..." Snape replied

"Excellent! That allows me to amplify the merge" Mrs Malfoy replied sneering

"... grandmother"

"Well... he needs to die, does he not?"

"But grandmother..."

"Enough Draco! You are a Slythren not a Gryffindor! You think with tactics not with emotions!"

"I once again repeat! This will be pointless without finding and destroying the other horcruxes" Snape snapped

"If you have any ideas Snape. I am all ears!" Moody replied

"Significance "

"What?" Harry replied

"It's human psychology, is it not? If someone wants to hide something of importance they would choose a place that has emotional significance"

"So... what the orphanage?" Moody replied

"Tell me Potter... would you hide something of sheer importance, Something that meant the difference between your life and death... at your aunts?"

"No."

"Where then you would hide it?"

"I guess Hogwarts"

"We will start there then" Snape ended "and if Harry is really a horcrux, he should be able to lead us directly too it"

"Harry is not going to be a horcrux for much longer though..." Draco tried to interject. Only to cause A moment of awkward silence in the small muggle dinning room before Lucius spoke

"How long until the merge is finished mother?"

"You can not rush these these things Lucius"

"Mother..."

" it's particularly pointless having a set finish date without a set excision date. How's that coming along? Any word from the mad men?"

"No. Nothing. The dark lord hasn't even informed the ranks of his alliance with Grindelwald"

"He must do it soon. The platforms are to be completely re-fixed in a months time" Moody causally mentioned .

"I imagine it will be any day now" Narcissa said. Talking for the first time that night

"Unless..." Lily interjected, causing everyone one to turn to her

"Alastor, correct me If I am wrong but When the magic re-infuses in the platforms... will it not be supercharged for a moment or two..."

"It will..."

"What if they use that supercharge as a catalyst for the explosion?"

"Knowing the precise time of the infusion will be impossible!" Claudia snapped back. Honestly, Harry was surprised that the older female Malfoy was being so civil towards his muggle-born mother... something he assume, he needed to thank Snape for.

"Not if they are in cahoots with the Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot." Lily added

"Dumbeldore"

"Fucking Dumbeldore"

"It's settled then. We have one month to find as many horcruxes as possible" Snape added

"And once you find them... then what? You can't just have a pile of black magic items sitting around ... especially not together. That's horrific! And if my opinion particularly stupid" Claudia replied. Her sneer seeping through

"You under estimate my knowledge Claudia" Snape replied
