Destinies Intertwined

Chapter 3

Disclaimers and notes in the prologue. Basically, I don't own them.

There will also be some MAJOR OOC in here, but please bear with me...

Oh, this is also set after the sixth book and year!! That means they will be Seventh years! However, the events in the 5th book did NOT happen.

Rating: R, but please tell me if that is too severe for this story.

Pairing: Harry/Draco of course!

'blah blah' mean thoughts

~^v^~ means scene change

**blah blah** means a letter

/blah blah/ means parseltongue (when/if used)

~^v^~ on with the story!!

'Why won't these damn stairs hurry up?' Severus thought as he waited for the stairs leading to Dumbledore's office to get to the top. Once he read the writing on the wall in the abandoned corridor, he knew that it was important to the survival of the wizarding world.

Upon reaching the door, Severus stormed into the office without even knocking, catching Albus in a compromising position. Leaning on his hands and knees, the Headmaster was reaching as far underneath his desk for something even Severus didn't want to know about.

"Albus, I need to talk to you. It is extremely important." Severus said in his usual brisk manner, though there was a not-so-subtle hint of emergency in his tone.

With a bit of groaning, Albus managed to pull himself up while dragging a small statuette of a haphazard pile of socks from under his desk.

Rolling his eyes, Severus sat down in his usual chair, waiting for Albus to settle himself. He knew that nothing would really get done until Albus put away his precious figurine, so he ran the prophesy over in head a few more times.

"Now, what's the emergency, my boy?" Albus exclaimed, though his usual twinkle had diminished somewhat. He heard the tone in Severus's voice, and knew that it had to do something about the boys that were staying.

"When I was heading back to my quarters, I noticed that there was a glowing light coming out of one of the side halls that is not generally used, and I went to see what it was. There were writings in silver along the wall, and disappeared after I read them." Albus stared at him, a worried look appearing on his face. Signaling Severus to continue, he leaned back into his chair. Speaking clearly, Severus went into a slight trance when he repeated the prophecy.

"When the true dark lord rises once more,

The heir of the Myutsomuii shall help,

The warrior of Artemis.

Two hearts become one,

Old strifes shall mend,

In order for there to be survival.

However, ignorance of this

Shall be had by these two,

And in nature shall they come together."

Coming out of the trance, Severus shook his head slightly and looked at Albus. "Do you know what it means?"

"No, but I'm sure it has to do with the boys. The heir of Myutsomuii? That is not possible, they died out thousands of years ago, along with the true Atlantians. Since this appeared now, the 'true dark lord' has to mean Voldemort, and because it has already been told that Harry will defeat him, then he must be the 'warrior of Artemis.' Right now, however, we should head down to lunch, as it starts in five minutes." Glancing at the clock hidden among the trinkets on his shelves, Albus stood to go out the door. Pausing, he turned back to the still seated Severus. "Like it says, however, this will not be told to either of them, no matter what. It stays in this room."

"Albus! I'm not some little Hufflepuff that spreads rumours! I do know how to keep a secret! I have been living one these past twenty or so years." Severus spat out in disgust. How could he assume that he would eve-he noticed the twinkle in Albus' eye had returned tenfold and glared at the man for deliberately provoking him.

"Come Severus, we must go feast!"

~^v^~

"Do you have any idea where we are?" Harry asked the blonde standing next to him. "I tried to remember how I got here, but all I really remember are all of the weird paintings."

"Nope, sorry Potter, but I was in the middle of a conversation while I was lead here." Looking sheepish, though still tired, he continued. "I was hoping that you would know the way."

Standing outside of the dragon statue, they both looked down the corridor. While it went straight for a while, and it did have an array of funny-costumed portraits hung along it, after that it branched out into two or three different halls that were all covered on similar looking paintings.

"I distinctly remember a guy in a pumpkin suit, and a jester." Harry said. "If that helps any at all."

"Look around Potter, I see three jesters from where we are standing." Draco said sarcastically.

"Well, I was only trying to help. Why don't we go back into the common room until they figure out that we are basically lost and need some sort of help figuring our way around?"

Looking at the dark haired boy, then at the hallway, Draco nodded his head and turned around to the dragon. 'Sounds like a plan to me. I don't intend to get lost in this maze if I can help it. I wonder if the professors have some sort of way to figure their way around this place?' "Lunar eclipse," was spoken softly, and both the boys made their way back into the warm room.

"I wonder when they will figure it out and come and get us," Harry said, flopping down into one of the blue chairs in front of the fire.

"I have no clue." Draco said, sitting in the other one, and watching the fire. That was how Severus found them a half an hour later, in a companionable silence.

TBC...

NOTE: I did NOT intend for this to take me so long, and I am VERY sorry. I lost all of my notes for the story, so now I'm basically winging it. Not very fun, since I did know exactly what was going to happen, now all of that is missing. Hopefully I'll find it soon.

To my reviewers!!

Liquid Nitrogen: Sorry about that mistake, I fixed it and re posted it. I know that it is supposed to be that way, but it just wasn't coming out properly. I know that, and I was probably half asleep.

Morgana Magi Lady of Light: Yes, but in different ways. You'll see soon, I hope. It depends on when I get the stupid chapters out.
