Note: Since we don't know how the books will end, I just used my imagination and made

something up to suit my story. THIS IS NOT THE TRUTH! I don't know what JK Rowlings

will do in the sixth and seventh book...

DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of HP's character; I just own Ely's character and the plot.

Chapter6: Once upon a time...

"AAAAAAAAAARGH!" I can't get a grip on myself and I start screaming. Drake

switches back to his human form. I'm scared to death. The man I thought I knew a little

(and love a little) just transformed himself into a dog, right in front of me! That would petrify

anyone, wouldn't it? I turn to the door and intend on running away from him, anywhere. Drake guesses my move and take a step to the left. He now stands right between the door and I. He pulls me in his arms, hugs me and tells me: " Ely, it's all right. I'm so sorry that was so tactless. With all you were telling me about your magic stuff, I thought you were ready to know my secret. I'm so sorry, please, calm down, I'm begging you". I start crying in relief. Isn't it strange that I find comfort in the arms of the one who caused me the biggest scare of my life? Anyway, after what I just witness, I don't feel like finding anything logical. " Sit down, Ely, I'll explain everything". I obey to his request and sit on a large purple cushion. He settles himself behind me, covers me with the bed sheet and holds me back really close to him. I feel his naked body on my back... this is, like, not the best moment to feel aroused!

" You are ElyAnn-Cailin McGregor. Daughter of Diana McKenzie and grand-daughter of

Lauria Fraser McKenzie. Harry Potter really exists and he lives in London. Albus

Dumbledore is Hogwarts's Headmaster and, now, the Minister of Magic. All you read in those books were true. It's was not a novel but a biography. J.K. Rowlings is a witch. She thought the story of Harry and his parents would be interesting for muggles. My real name is Draco Malfoy. You never made the link with my last name? "

In fact, now that he says so, I remember thinking "Malfoy just as I Harry Potter" when I first

met him. I always thought it was a sign that he was meant for me. The fact that he had the

same name as my secretly favourite character in my favourite novel has always been a sign.

Fat chance! How can someone sane can see there more than a funny coincidence?

" You're telling me that all I read in the fifth Harry Potter already out really happened? If it's

true, can you tell me what's going on right now? Albus Dumbledore can't be the Minister of

Magic because Fudge just realised that Voldemort is back. Worst of all, I should be running from you. You're father's a deatheater and you're just an arrogant, mean and hypocrite little git. Besides, J.K. Rowlings never mentioned that you're an animagus!

- What you read in the book happened eight years ago. In case you haven't noticed, I'm not seventeen but twenty-six. I'm older than you! Rowlings decided to write the books after it all happened. As far as I'm concerned, you'll read in the next book that I joined the Order and that I decided to work with them to fight Voldemort. That's when they taught me to be an animagus. You're the only one, besides the members of the Order, to know it because I'm not declared. As for my father, he died few years ago so you shouldn't be scared. Anyway, it's not my story that matters, it's yours. I've already told you that your grandmother was a teacher, a nurse and engaged in humanitarians' foundations. Now, let me take this straight. She was teaching at Hogwarts, she gave the first aids for magical injuries classes. She also was a Healer at St-Mungo's. As for humanitarians' foundations, it was more like helping Arthur Weasley Sr., father of Arthur Weasley Jr. and grandfather of Ron and his siblings. Weasley was doing the same job as his son, he was working on bewitched muggles artefacts. If a muggle was injured, Lauria was going with him to cure him.

- If you're telling me the truth, how come I know nothing about that?

- I'm getting there. Your grandmother met Paul McKenzie when she was fifteen, he was

seventeen. They got married two years later, when Lauria finished her studies at Hogwarts.

They had their first child, Peter, exactly nine month later. Louisa was born three years later

and Diana, your mother, was born eleven years after Peter. When he turned seventeen,

Peter left Hogwarts and lost his mind. He joined the rank of Voldemort and became a

deatheater. Few years later, he received death threats by the Dark Lord himself. That's

when Lauria got scared. Peter disappeared from the world and left his son behind. We still don't know where he is, perhaps he got killed. Louisa was too old to forget what she already knew about the wizarding world. Lauria made her swear she would never tell her sister Diana. They did an amnesia curse on her and Diana forgot all she knew. She grew up thinking her mom was a simple nurse and that her parents were angry with her oldest brother. She never saw him again and always thought he was a bad man. Which is, actually, the truth. When Diana was sixteen, her mother got caught in a nasty story. My grandfather died in her arms. It was obvious that the killer had put poison in his glass. The Minister of Magic, in those years, thought it would be a good thing to find a guilty person, considering the family's position and influence on the Ministry. The only suspect possible was Lauria. She's been sentenced to Azkaban without a real trial. No one really believed she was guilty but who would dare to go against a decision made by the Minister himself? Paul decided to keep your mother really further away from that world. He was scared your mother might suffer from the gossips. He told Diana that Lauria died and they moved here, in Quebec. They were unknown and the wizarding community was almost non-existent. Louisa remained in Scotland to take care of Lauria. She got married and had two kids, Marty and Katarina, as you already know. When your grandmother really died, six years ago, Louisa tried to tell the truth to her sister, but things didn't go as planed. You know, Louisa really suffers from the distance between her sister and her. You're the only family she has now, I mean, other than her kids and husband. Your brother visits frequently on the Hogsmead weekends but it's not like her sister.

- What are you talking about? My brother studies in a boarding school in Ontario.

- No, he studies at Hogwarts, in his last year. He wants to become an Auror. Only your

grandmother Josephine and your aunt Louisa know about it. Gregorian had an agreement

with Dumbledore so your parents receive a report card that looks like a muggle's one.

Anyhow, your aunt believes you can take up your grandmother's work. God knows where

she got that idea but she strongly thinks you inherited of all your grandmother's pure powers. She thinks you only lack knowledge to use it properly. That's why I'm here. I had to find you and teach you all I know so you can take Lauria's work where she left it. I've been looking for you for a year. I found you a month ago with the help of my contacts. All I had to do was finding a way to talk to you and get your confidence so I could tell you the truth.

- And you thought that seducing me and getting me to fuck with you was a good way?

Congratulations! You made it. Now you can tell me it was the only reason you did all that.

- No, fucking with you was just a bonus", he says with a wink.

" Seriously, Ely! I admit that, in the beginning, all I had to do was to find you and tell you the

truth. I never planed you would have such an effect on me. I really think I'm in love with you and I swear I want you more than I ever wanted any other girls before. I know those stupid books describe me as an arrogant, mean and insensitive prick that can't have feelings for nyone, but I'm not like that! Rowlings said so for many reasons I don't want to explain. What's important, right now, is that you believe me when I say I didn't make love to you because I wanted you to trust me."

I get up and start pacing the room. I don't know what to think anymore. He seems sincere. Just like yesterday, before we started kissing, he doesn't have any arrogance or humour in his eyes. I choose to trust him. His story allows me to fulfil all my dreams, even the craziest ones. Besides, I must admit that I love him either. "Let's pretend I believe you. What happens next?

- I have an open flight to Scotland. You go there to learn all you need. You can live in my family's country house. My mom's in London so it's unused. Your aunt and cousins live near by.

- I don't want to go there alone!

- Ely, you won't be alone. I told you, I've been waiting for you for a long time... in every meanings it might imply. I'm not letting you go. I'm leaving with you, whenever you want.

- I'm have two weeks off from work...

- You don't get it, do you? It's not just a little trip, it's changing your whole life. You need to quit your job, your house, everything you own here. We're going to LIVE there.

- Alright, I agree to follow you and quit my job but I want to keep my apartment here.

- Good! When do you want to leave?

- Let's say Monday? Just need to settle certain things and we can go.

- Perfect! You're sure you'll have enough time to do everything in just to days?

- Yes, I'm pretty confident. I just need to start right now."

Drake, or I now should say Draco, gets up, opens the bed sheet still wrapped around him and pulls me closer. " Right now? I mean, it's seven am on a Saturday morning. Here's my proposition." he says while lying me down on the cushions. He begins kissing my neck and gets lower with every words. " Why don't we take another two hours on those comfortable cushions of yours. Then, we pack your things. We go to my place, take another hour's rest on my couch and pack my stuff. Finally, we come back here for a well-deserved night sleep? What do you say?

- How do you expect me to sleep tonight if we take a nap everywhere we go? Besides, I'm not tired, I don't feel like sleeping."

He was now kissing my stomach. He just raised his eyes to look into mine. His blond hair are dishevelled and falling in his face so they hide his look a little, but I clearly see into it the laugh he was trying to restrain. " You'll be tired when I finish with you. Who said we would be sleeping?" he says while getting even lower.

***

I called my landlord and told him I was leaving. I pretended it was a family emergency in Scotland, which is not totally a lie. I sign post-dated checks and I sign the lease renewal. I packed my things and called the airport to make sure Jester and Salem could be onboard too. I'm taking the eleven pm's flight tonight. We'll be in Scotland on Tuesday at seven o'clock, Eastern Time. It will be like one pm there. I also told my mom about my departure. I said I had a great opportunity to study for a new career there. She seemed happy but worried. She made me swear to call her every two days and to come visit every holidays. I just have to call my boss to tell her I quit. That's what I'm doing right now.

" Hi, Mrs Schedler. It's ElyAnn-Cailin McGregor. How are you?

- I'm fine, thank you. Yourself?

- Good, good. I was calling to tell you that..

- You are quitting the job.

- Huh? Yeah ... How do you know?

- You're the third one today.

- The third?

- Indeed, Maria and Isobel were the two first ones, I was thinking that your call might not be too long to follow. I was right! So, I want you to send me your resignation letter. Your four percent will be deposit in your account on the reception of that letter. Thank you for working with us and good luck in all your future projects. Good-bye.

- Err... good-bye?"

Now that's new! How come Maria and Iso quit? They never talked about that. I'm trying to call at their place but no one answers. I'll just call them from Scotland.
