Chapter Nine: Real Emotion, James' Secret
James looked at the young man ahead, fully recovered from the fall. He thanked Severus for saving the boy with all his potion and medical knowledge. Draco learned each corridor from the Griffin kingdom since every night he fancied a walk; he would normally end up with James as company.
Draco sometimes felt anger towards Harry's father. His son had suffered amnesia, rape, and now had been forced into switching bodies with Voldemort, though was thankfully, alive but the only thing James could say about it was...
"Don't worry, everything will be all right."
"Dammit James! Your son is on the verge of dying in a body that isn't his and all you can say is everything will be all right. Everything is not bloody all right!"
"Draco you should calm down."
"Calm down? Calm Down! When I can't stand doing absolutely nothing to try and get Harry's body back."
"We will get it in time, for now you must stay calm," James said as Draco's check turned shades of crimson from the fury.
"I remember hazy borders of my heart
I could see a place
That's something like this
Every now and then I don't know what to do
Still I know that I
Could never go back"
"Sorry to disappoint you but I'll go out there and look for Voldemort myself." He turned on his heels but was stopped when James grabbed his forearm and pulled him closer.
James narrowed his hazel eyes at Draco as the young man's eyes reflected the surprise of being pressed against James. James tugged a blond lock behind his ear as Draco's vision fogged by James' breath near his lips.
"James!" James whipped his head in surprised as Severus called his name. Severus pushed James away and shook his shoulder. "Wake up James! This is not Lucius!"
Draco looked at both men, shocked to hear his father's name. Suddenly James' empty stare shined with life and he fell to his knees. He looked at his hands blankly as he spoke, "Did I kiss him?"
"Barely," Severus said. "If I hadn't stopped you, you might have."
James fingered his lips and whispered, "Forgive me Young Malfoy." With this he stood up and in a flurry of his golden cloak he left, leaving Severus and Draco standing confused.
"What has my father to do with this?" Draco asked and Severus rolled his eyes.
"I don't think I'm the right one to tell you."
Harry winced as Dumbledore placed a hot substance on his injured stomach. Even if it wasn't his body he can still feel and think normally but the pain was ten times worst. Of course, this body was weak and very sensitive to pain.
"I don't think it's helping," Ron commented as the substance boiled as it touched Harry's injury.
"This body is too weak; better call Fawkes while I can." Dumbledore whistled hard and a beautiful red and gold bird appeared with fire emerging from his long tail.
"A Phoenix!" Ron exclaimed looking at the beautiful bird now on Dumbledore's outstretched arm. "I thought that species was gone for sure!"
"Not completely; few of them are still left around the forest and ancient runes." Fawkes, the Phoenix leaned over and looked at Harry with dark yellow eyes. Ron saw how the Phoenix bent his head down at Harry's injury and three single tears rolled down.
It was a fascinating scene to see how Harry's wound stopped bleeding; how the flesh stretched and closed like it was never injured. Harry sat up and the Phoenix rubbed his feathered face on Harry's cheek.
Ron's eyes widened as the squashed serpent-nose, meaningful eyes and white bony skin disappeared and transformed into a young man of long black hair, bright green eyes and fine, handsome, tanned skin.
"That is Voldemort's young appearance," Dumbledore explained to the startled Weasley. "He used a potion to hide his true appearance after Harry placed the curse on him months ago."
"Harry?" Ron asked as Harry caressed the Phoenix's head. "How?"
"Voldemort tried to take my magic away months after my mother died because of a prophecy that talks about me giving him his downfall. It looks like my magic was stronger and more persistent than he thought," Harry said still caressing the Phoenix, "and his spell backfired creating a curse on both of us."
"What kind of curse?" Ron asked.
"He was supposed to walk upon this world cursed to death and I would able to sense when he is near me through the bleeding scars around my body the curse created."
"And that is a very troublesome curse for both," Dumbledore said. "Now he will be able to sense you when you're near."
"But he won't go unmarked," Harry whispered and looked outside the window.
'Where are you Draco?'
Draco mounted his horse as the rest of the knights did the same. He adjusted his sheathed sword where it wouldn't bother him while he was on the horse. From the distance, he could see James walking towards them followed by Severus. James was dressed as he was days ago, red long shirt with chest armor atop that covered him to his waist. Brown trousers, high heeled boots and a dark gold cape that reached his ankles; on his waist was the sheathed sword spelling 'Godric Gryffindor'.
"Many things I've seen
In those hazy dreams
Can't compare to what I'm seeing now
Everything's so different
That it brings me to my knees"
He looked at his own sword spelling 'Salazar Slytherin'. He, unlike James, only wore black trousers he borrowed from Severus (since they were the same height), a long sleeved silver shirt and a black cloak that used to belong to Harry. Severus' clothes didn't change much; a servant told him that Severus seems to only wear black.
"What's the sudden emergency to exit the castle?" Draco asked James as he mounted his horse beside him.
James avoided looking at Draco. "Lucius has gone crazy. He has been attacking his own town just to follow Voldemort's orders. It's time I go there and knock some sense into him."
"Aren't you supposed to be his enemy?" James' shoulders dropped.
"We were more than enemies," James whispered and commanded his horse. Draco watched as James exited the Griffin grounds.
Severus rode his horse until stopping beside him. "Better hurry if you don't want to stay behind."
Draco looked at Severus' onyx eyes. "What did he mean about that?"
"And though I know
Your world of real emotion has surrounded me
I won't give into it
Now I know
That forward is the only way my heart can go
I hear your voice calling out to me
You'll never be alone"
"You'll find out soon."
Draco flinched as he entered his kingdom. People were screaming; women were gripping their children to their chest as bandits threw bottles and many dangerous objected at his people. He dismounted his horse as James ordered his knights to keep the people save from harm.
A little girl with chestnut hair attached to his leg, trembling. "Young Maifoi!" the girl squealed frightened.
A very broad ugly bandit picked the girl up by her hair as he heard her mother yelling "Rellen! Rellen!" as another bandit held the mother tight.
Draco tapped the man's arm not caring if the man was two times broader than him, but this was his people and Salazar wouldn't had liked torture as a payment of their loyalty. The bandit looked at him and merely spat at his face.
"What?" Draco pointed at his hand gripping the girl's hair as the girl whimpered with painful tears.
"That's not very nice¹!" He said and without thinking, he punched the man in the face. The bandit stumbled and let go of the girl. Draco caught her in time as the bandit held his now bleeding nose.
"How dare ya, punk!" the bandit yelled. Draco unsheathed his sword after placing the girl safely on the ground.
"Give me all you got, bastard! These are my people and I will not let you hurt them!" In one swing the sword slashed the man's forearm in half.
The bandit yelled holding his now bleeding half forearm. "HELP! FUCK! THIS BLOODY BOY IS CRAZY!" he yelled out. The one holding the girl's mother let go of her, terrified at his friend's injury.
With a flick of his finger, he sent the man flying. The crying girl ran to her mother's arms.
"Arigatou²!" the woman exclaimed to Draco crying and supporting her child.
"Anata ga irasshai³," he said. Draco sheathed his sword when...
"Draco!" he heard Severus yell and someone passed by him in a blur and grabbed him by the neck, practically lifting him from the ground.
"So yer got out alive?" he man growled. Draco noticed, besides the fact that he was running out of oxygen, the man had his left eye patched. He looked as if he'd shaved four days go; his face was all dirty and stained with blood.
Draco drew his hands up trying to break the grip the man had on his neck. "You'll not survive this time!" the bandit stopped his horse in front of the Malfoy Manor and threw him hard against the clear glass window of the Malfoy's manor living room.
Draco crashed against it, shattering the window and causing shards of sharp glass to fall on him.
"James, Draco!" Severus yelled turning his horse as a bandit ran past him.
James, without thinking dismounted his horse and ran towards the dismounting leader bandit and drew his sword out.
"Stop there you barbarian!" James yelled as the bandit drew his sword, ready to kill Draco. "Start with me monster!"
"I have no time to fight with yer Potter!" the bandit said and jumped inside through the window and suddenly found himself face first into the floor of the Malfoy's living room. James was pinning the man down, pointing his sharp sword at the man's neck.
With all the noise, Lucius was forced to head downstairs to find himself looking at a very shocking scene before his eyes.
"James?" James whipped his head up, distracting himself from the struggling bandit.
"Lucius..." The bandit took the opportunity to free himself from James' grip and punched him in the nose with the back of his hand.
James stumbled and fell down the bandit's back. The bandit was about to punch him, James unaware that he was going to be punched twice being busy with groaning all over his bleeding nose, when Lucius unsheathed his unconscious son's sword and thrust the sword on the bandit's back.
The bandit's eyes widen in surprise and gaped. "Why?"
"Things have a limit! You dared to hurt my son." He removed the sword and the bandit dropped to the floor, lifeless.
"Lucius," James whispered as he stood up and wiped the blood off. Lucius' icy eyes darkened and he pointed his sword at him.
"And though I know
Your world of real emotion Has surrounded me
I won't give into it
Now I know
That forward is the only way My heart can go
I hear your voice calling out to me
You'll never be alone"
"Lucius you're making a mistake."
"Shut up, Potter!" he yelled and James noticed his hand was trembling.
"You're helping Voldemort destroy our pride, the founders' power. History must be complete, please lower your sword."
At this Draco regain consciousness and stared at the scene before his eyes.
"SHUT. UP!" He shouted, now his hand trembling violently. "WHY DID YOU HAVE TO COME? I SWORE I'D KILL YOU IF YOU DID!"
"I know you're not capable of doing it."
"THEN WHY?" he yelled and fell to his knees, shaking as James gently removed the sword from his hands. "Why?"
James kneeled and hugged Lucius as he broke down crying (To Draco's shocked surprise). "I know things never worked for both of us but there is always second chances," James whispered.
James pushed Lucius away enough to look at his eyes. Draco looked at his father's puffy eyes full of twisted emotions. James leaned over and pressed his lips against Lucius'.
"And though I know
Your world of real emotion has surrounded me
I won't give into it
Now I know
That forward is the only way my heart can go
I hear your voice calling out to me
You'll never be alone"
"Draco!" Draco heard his name being called and turned to notice Hermione entering the room. She gasped when she saw the dead body.
"What happened?" she asked but her eyes drifted off to see Lucius kissing a man similar to Harry.
James broke the kiss as Hermione asked, "Who is he?"
Draco grinned weakly at Hermione even after having his body covered in bloody scratches and said, "Hermione, he's James Potter, Harry's father."
"James! The Dark Lord is heading towards the lands of the Fenix!" Severus yelled, surprising the people in the living room.
Draco's eyes widened as his mind processed the information. Lands of the Fenix.
"Harry is in danger! He's in those lands!"
TBC...
Notes: Yay! Finished! Hope you liked this one; it was more of a little battlefield and information chapter. Fenix means Phoenix in Spanish. Yes, James used to date Lucius but things didn't work and yes, there things were supposed to repeat what Harry and Draco will do in future chapters. The Song goes with James' feelings around the story.
¹: Quote from Pirates of the Caribbean. Yeah you can imagine Draco talking his quote like Jack Sparrow. giggle
²: Thank You in Japanese
³: You're welcome in Japanese
Next Chapter: Harry asks Draco for something more even in Tom Riddle's body, Ron meets his promised fiancée and a war breaks through that lead Harry and Draco alone in some woods... New character revealed! Hint: Sirius and Remus.
