Chapter 1
Somewhere inside Malfoy Manor Draco woke up. Yawning he looked around, feeling little disappointed that he was back home and there were no singns of that mysterious rider.
Little smile crept on his face, feeling the ghost of the kiss on his lips. 'I wonder who would he turn out to be.' he thought while climbing out of the bed. He yawned again on his way to the window. Opening the heavy green drapes he looked outside. There was the same old garden, but that morning it looked more beautiful that ever before. Early birds chirping had never sounded as lovely as it did that morning.
Draco tried to stiffle a giggle, failing though.
"I see you had pleasend dreams."
Draco looked over his shoulder and smiled. "Good morning mother."
His mother, Narcissa Malfoy, came beside her son.
"Want to tell me?" She asked with a grin. Since Lucius' death she had grown more attached to her son, knowing almost every secret Draco had, even that her son was gay.
"I was on a plain with a masked man." he smiled, dreamy look in his eyes. Narcissa hugged him tightly.
"Was he handsome, in the parts you saw from the mask?"
"Oh yes. And he said that I would meet him soon and then he kissed me." Draco sighed. He was anxious to meet that man!
"That´s great!" Narcissa was happy to see Draco like that, smiling, not sneering.
"That´s wonderful darling. Now get dressed, your train leaves 11 o' clock." With a smile Narcissa left the room.
Draco smiled too. That day was the first day of his seventh year at Hogwarts. He looked the wizard clock on the wall and it said 'Stop dreaming and get dressed!' Draco smirked at it and slipped out of his pyjamas, made from black silk. Wearing only his silver boxers Draco checked himself from the mirror hanging on the wall. The Quiddich had made him muscular, not bulky. The silver-blonde hair was longer than before, reaching his shoulderblades. He didn´t grease it anymore and it flowed around his face like a cloud, making him look like an angel. His almost silver eyes twinkled when he thought about that mystery rider.

The morning wasn´t as bright and chipper in Dursley´s, where Harry was packing his trunk. 'This is the last time I have to see the Dursley´s'. The famous Boy-Who-Lived was anxious of getting away from his sorry-excuse-of-a- family. He closed his trunk and sat on it for awhile. 'What did the last night´s dream mean? I mean, okay, I fancy Draco, but do I have to look like Zorro?' Laughing inwardly Harry secured the hatch on Hedwig´s cage. "Soon we´ll out of here girl." The snow white owl hooted approvingly.
"Potter!! Make sure you take everything, I mean absolutely everything, with you!"
Harry looked at his whale-like uncle. "Yes, Uncle-Vernon."
Harry tried to look neutral but small growl escaped from his throat. Uncle- Vernon looked terrified and almosta ran down the stairs. Chuckling Harry checked his trunks lock and lifted it easily to his shoulder. Balancing it with one of his hand he took Hedwig´s cage and walked downstairs. The trunk was light for Harry, his strength had increased during the summer. His muscles were lean but much stronger than they appeared to be.
Without any kind of goodbyes Harry walked out of the door and down the streets, not looking back. The Dursley´s looked from the window after Harry, little scared. The neighbours were watching the scene equally scared, Harry looked like Death himself with his black clothes and stonelike features.
After couple blocks Harry stopped, putting Hedwig on the side of a black car. Searching through his pockets Harry picked up a keychain and opened the backdoor. With one swift movement he put the trunk on the seat and picked Hedwig up. He swung the door close and opened the driver´s door. He seated himself behind the wheel and placed Hedwig on the other seat.
Harry started the car and let the engine warm up while searching the glovecompartment for his CDs. Finally he chose one of them and put it on the player. Soon the car was filled with loud metal-music and Hedwig hooted accusing.
"Sorry Hedwig." Harry laughed and put the volume down a bit. He fastened his seat belt and gave some gas while singing along the music.
"Walking around I hear the earth seeking relief I´m trying to find a reason to live But the mindless clutter my path Oh these thorns in my side I know I have something free I have something so alive I think they shoot ´cause they want it."
His car was eating miles fast and Harrys head felt light. 'This is life.' He opened his window and let the wind blew through his hair.
"I feel forces all around me Come on raise your head Those who hide behind the shadows Live with all that´s dead"
The King Cross´ station was infront of him and Harry took the CD out. He parked and put the CD back in it´s case. The cover said 'Creed ~ Weathered'. Harry stopped the car and took Hedwig with him when he stepped from the car. He put the cage down and took the trunk from the backseat. Checking his surroundings he pushed a hidden button. The car shrunk into a size of a toy car. Harry picked it up and locked it in his trunk, thanking his Godfather. Sirius had enchanted the car to shrink, which came useful from time to time. The car also worked without gasoline.
Sighing Harry tied his shoulderlong hair with a leatherstrap. The ponytail rested in the nape of his neck. Now when his ears were bare his earring reflected the sunlight. It was a regular silverring in his right earlobe. His glasses were gone, he had bought contacts. Harry lifted his trunk to his shoulder again and picked Hedwigs cage. "Here we go for the last time." Harry smiled kinda sadly and headed towards the Platform 9 ¾.
~ ^_^ ~
"We´ll see in Christmas holidays" Draco said to his mom with a big hug.
"I´ll miss you" She said and waved after Draco.
Pushing a trolley before him Draco went through the crowds on the platforms. He looked a man walking little ahead of him, carrying a heavylooking trunk in his shoulder. 'Hmm.. Nice ass.' he thought, licking his lips. The mentioned behind was clad in black jeans that had chains hanging from the belt links. 'Yummie.' . The man was wearing a black loose silk shirt. 'What a pity' Draco thought. His hair were long and black as the night.
Then the man pulled a strand of hair behind his ear. Draco gasped. He had a scarlet snake in back of his hand!! When Draco was about to call the man, a group of people blocked his way. Draco was frustrated when he got through the group and he didn´t see the man anywhere. 'Damn!'
Luckily he had noticed that the trunk the man was carrying had Hogwarts stamps on them. But the House stamp was under his hand. Draco almost shivered with delight. 'He really is in Hogwarts!!'. He placed the trademark smirk in his face and entered the Platform 9 ¾.
~ ^_^ ~
Harry found an empty compartment and sat down with a huff. Gentle smile on his lips he stroked the scarlet snake in his skin.
~You should hide now.~ he hissed to it in Parseltongue.
~Why? Are you shamed of me?~ the snake answered, with angry tone in its voice.
~Of course not! Professor McGonagall don´t like tattoos and such. She wouldn´t understand that you aren´t just a tattoo, you´re my friend.~
The snake sighed, in very snake-kind of way. ~Fine.~
The snake moved up Harrys arm, finally stopping between Harrys shoulderblades. Harry smiled softly, the snake was a gift from Remus. It was enchanted to act like a real snake, so that Harry wouldn´t be lonely ever again. He had give it a name, Asia, ´cause it felt unfair to call it just snake.
"There you are Harry!" Hermione and Ron burst into the apartment smiling like local idiots. They grabbed Harry in a big grouphug and laughed warmly.
"It´s good to see you guys!" Harry said when they finally sat down. Hermione measured him smiling.
"You look great! You´ve put on some weight, you look like a human again."
"Thanks a lot." Harry said with faked-hurt in his voice. "So I was monster before?"
They laughed again, for the shear joy of being together again.
"How are you two?" Harry asked with wide grin.
"Er. I. Me and 'Mione. Umm." Harry chuckled watching his best friends blushing and stuttering his words.
"We are together." Hermione said for him, taking his hand. If possible, Harrys grin grew yet wider.
"That´s wonderful news!" Hermione and Ron blushed deep crimson and Harry laughed. "It was about time, I´ve waited for this many years!!"
"What about you? Found a guy during the summer?" Harry had told his friends that he´s gay during their fifth year.
"No. But I had a dream. I was riding on a plain and saw this guy. When I ride closer, it was Malfoy!"
Hermione smiled knowingly but Ron absolutely fumed, with look of utter disgust on his face. "The Ferret Boy!!"
"I prefer Malfoy." said a voice from the door. They turned to look and saw Draco standing there. Harry almost swallowed his tongue. Draco was wearing really tight black leatherpants and a white t-shirt, that was almost like second skin of his.
"Look what the cat brought in." Ron said, shooting daggers from his eyes towards the blond Slytherin. Harry focused on staring outside the window, not wanting to look at Draco. 'Oh my God, he´s hot!'
"Not a cat, a car. You know what a car is, eh Weasel?" Rons face was almost as red as his hair and he was boiling.
"Malfoy! Shut the fuck up!!" Harry yelled, because he had a huge headache growing between his temples. Everybody stared him with their mouths open, even Draco, but Harry didn´t notice this by his hands that was rubbing his temples.
"You´re okay Harry?" Hermione asked, concern in her voice.
"Yeah, in a second." he lifted his head and noticed that Draco had gone. Little stab of guilt went through his heart. 'I didn´t mean to shout at him. Even though he hates my guts.'
~ ^_^ ~
Draco was upset, not because Harry shouted at him, but because he had thought that Harry would be the mystery rider. Everything matched, the hair, the jeans, the shirt, everything but Harry didn´t have the scartlet snake in his hand.
Draco locked himself on the bathroom for awhile. He felt like crying. He had hoped and nearly prayed that Harry would be the man. Draco had had a crush on Harry at least for three years now. It was hard for Draco to be so mean to the person he dreamed at nights. 'But last nights dream was different. I could feel it.' Draco sighed and tried to push Harry out of his head. 'Get a grip Malfoy. It´s just Potter. Just.' Draco looked himself from the mirror and just couldn´t lie to himself. 'Just the object of my fantacies.'
Draco splashed icecold water on his face and took deeb breath. 'Here goes, act normally.' He managed to calm down and he strapped his hair back in their place. It was time to put on the schoolrobes.

A/N: Should I consider a career change or keep on? Rewiev and tell me what do you think. I´ve handwritten this story quite a lot, but on my computer this is much shorter.
Ancient Galaxy: Thank you.. :) I do carry on.
