SORRY ABOUT THE SPELLING I KNOW I NEED A BETA I'M GETTING TO IT I PROMISE!
Draco Malfoy's Little Black Book Chapter 5Harry and Draco talked long into the night. The more they talked the more Harry started to trust Draco. Harry felt relief as he told Draco his problems, even though he knew Draco wasn't going to magically fix them it felt good to talk it over. Draco told Harry a lot to, about how he did not like his father nor wanted did he want to be like him, and how his father hurt him for being the way he was. At times Harry could hardly believe what he was hearing.
It was while Draco was talking that Harry realised that he was sitting with his head on Draco's shoulder and that Draco had his arm around Harry. Surprised and unsure Harry went to pull away but as Draco started telling him how his father controlled his life and how he bashed him and hurt him as a way to take out his anger Harry felt a new surge of respect for the boy who had managed to put on a normal face to the world whilst having to live a terrible secret life and stayed where he was.
Silence grew between them but neither found it uncomfortable. Draco cleared his mind and entered Harry's, he had not told Harry that he could read his emotions yet and he wasn't sure if Harry new, it was something he did not want to rely on but at the moment he couldn't help himself. A smile spread across Draco's face as he clearly felt that in every way Harry was simply content and happy. Draco watched Harry yawning and realising how tied he was himself suggest that they both go to sleep. (Asleep in separate beds just in case you were wondering!)
********************
Sunday morning Harry woke early and got ready for the private lesson on Highly Advanced Defence Against the Dark Arts, which he was taking with Professor Lupin three to four times a week at Dumbledore's request. Dumbledore knew that Harry had a talent in the area and was keen to help the boy learn as much as he could. As Harry was running late he didn't bother leaving a note for Draco and skidded into the room of requirements ten minutes late where Professor Lupin was waiting for him.
"Good morning Harry! How are you today?" Professor Lupin beamed at him. "Good thanks professor." Harry smiled. The two had become quite close since Sirius's death, as Lupin was now really the only parent figure besides the Wesley's that Harry had left. Professor Lupin watched Harry for a moment grinning and when the boy said nothing he knew he would have to initiate the conversation himself, "well Harry," he began "Dumbledore informs me that a certain Lex-Veela has chosen you for his life mate then!" Professor Lupin was simply beaming now as Harry's face grew increasingly redder. Professor Lupin sensed the young boys embarrassment and decided not to pursue the subject too much further for he moment, "Well Harry, as long as your happy I'm really pleased for you just remember that ok, and Sirius would be happy to." He gave Harry a stern look and Harry nodded then quietly voice one of his more uncertain thoughts, "you don't mind even though it's Draco and, well, Draco's a boy?" Lupin smiled, "of course not Harry, Sirius never told you me and him were loves did he?" Harry's mouth dropped open unable to hide his surprise but as the thoughts processed through his mind he started to smile. Lupin smiled to, "well yes," he said a little embarrassed himself now, "Siri and me, well anyway, that's a story I'll tell you another day, but just remember Harry if there is anything you need to talk about anytime I'm always here for you ok?" Harry nodded and smiled giving his Professor and friend a quick hug before they moved onto the lesson.
Draco woke up and sensed his partner was gone. He started to panic and raced from his room and into Harry's room dismayed to find only an empty bed. He rushed, bathroom, common room and back to the bedrooms searching in a frenzied state for Harry. Slowly taking deep breaths he tried to calm down, after all Harry was still an independent person, something Draco knew he was going to have trouble coping with. He cleared his thoughts and tried to find Harry's mind to search his emotions thinking it might give him an idea as to where his partner had gone. For a while his mind was blank, just buzzing and then pain, or was it concentration, or stress, something Draco decided was not at all good for his partner and in an instant he was rushing out the door in full Lex-Veela mode searching for Harry.
Harry stood on one side of the room concentrating as hard as he could while Professor Lupin stood on the other. Between them shimmered what appeared to be an almost invisible wall trembling and swirling like it was liquid. Professor Lupin was shooting various curses at Harry attempting to get through the wall which was actually a protective force field Harry had put up. It was special wandless magic, which they had been working on for some weeks now, and it appeared that Harry had finally mastered it. Professor Lupin gave Harry instructions via his mind while still trying to break through Harry's wall. Dumbledore had got Professor Snape to make a special and complex potion which when taken would allow the two people who took it to communicate by mind but only for a set amount of time. Harry and Lupin used the potion so Lupin could still help and direct Harry when he was attempting complicated magic like now.
~Ok Harry, can you hold it for just one more moment, I'm going to attempt a very complicated curse now, which if your wall can block, means you wont be able to make it any stronger…is that ok? ~
~Yes, fine~ Harry replied, as even his mind was becoming tied.
Lupin raised his wand and muttered the words whilst doing a complicated arm movement to rival anything Harry had seen before and just as vivid purple light shot out the end of Lupins wand the door to the room flew open and in burst Draco. He paused, shocked at the scene before him and upon seeing the desperate look of concentration on Harry's face he assumed him to be in trouble and screamed his name, "HARRY!"
That was all it took for Harry's concentration to break, the wall before him fell in slow motion like water, and the curse which Lupin had fired towards it flew over the top and straight towards Harry. There was no time to scream or move or panic, all Draco and Lupin could do was watch as in a strange moment Harry raised his hand to touch the light before it hit him but instead of making contact it stopped inches from Harry's hand. Harry's face was set in concentration as he focused all his energy on the curse before him, his mind began to scream but not before a white light flicked out of his fingers and started to push the purple light away. Suddenly he could concentrate better, he heard Draco let out a sob behind him and whilst still watching light he whispered a spell which formed a protective bubble around Draco. He could hear Lupins thoughts again telling him to relax his mind and concentrate at the same, not something that was easy to do. Harry watched the purple light being forced back by his white one and as if commanding them both by mind he sent them crashing into the stone floor destroying them both and causing the whole castle to shudder violently for a moment like it had been hit by an earthquake. Everything paused for just a second and then Lupin lunged forward and caught Harry as he fainted.
Outside in the hallways students and professors where running around in alarm believing the castle to be under attack. But inside the room of requirements all was quiet, Lupin gently laid Harry on the floor ignoring Draco who was trapped in Harry's protective bubble charm and looked up to see Dumbledore calmly entering the room with a smile on his face followed by a worried looking Professor Snape, who went about attending to Draco, and an even more worried looking Professor McGonigall who rushed over to Lupin and Harry.
Professor Snape was having some difficulty calming Draco who had gone into Lex-Veela mode again and was trying to get to Harry, in the end he had to stun the boy and take him up to the hospital wing. Professor McGonigall had managed to wake up Harry who was now standing quietly, thinking about what had just happened, what he had done. Professor Lupin who was just as surprised as Harry watched Dumbledore intently as he began to talk.
"Well Harry," the old man said smiling fondly at the boy, "it appears that you have found your Inner Power!" Harry just looked confused and Lupin smiled while Dumbledore continued, "your Inner Power is something everyone has and it is unique to them, it is always inside you but only some wizards are able to find, and use, that power. Today you seem to have found yours. It really means you have a higher magical capability now, you will most likely be able to do wandless magic with out a hassle, as well as other things you couldn't do before. Do you understand Harry?" Harry nodded, he had heard of this before in some of his classes he just couldn't believe he had found his! He smiled at the adults in the room clearly pleased with himself. Dumbledore smiled back approvingly, "well now I think if Professor McGonigall will take you up to the hospital wing to be checked over, besides that you should be fine and can go on enjoying your weekend! I am sure there is a very concerned Lex-Veela waiting for you somewhere!" Dumbledore laughed and Harry still looking pleased but confused followed Professor McGonigall out of the room.
Professor Lupin and Dumbledore started restoring the room with their wands and upon finishing Lupin noticed the look in Dumbeldore's eyes which suggested he hadn't told them entirely everything about what had just happened.
Upon entering the hospital wing Harry was leaped on by an overexcited Draco who had been anxiously waiting at the door for him. Draco carefully led Harry to a bed and started fussing over him to see if he was alright and was trying to find out what had just happened. Suddenly Harry felt terribly tied and closed his eyes letting Draco adjust his pillows and tuck him and hoped that no one had noticed the pink flush on he felt appear on his cheeks when he realised Draco was holding his hand.
