Chapter 12

"So, you finally found him, eh?" Said Draco smirking.

Firenize was clinging to Bane's arm, smiling with his blue eyes sparkling. Harry looked at the contrast between the two centaurs. Bane was much larger, his shoulders were broad and heavily muscled. His hair was dark and shaggy. The horse part was just as strong and broad looking, something like a war horse. Firenize was about a head and shoulders shorter then Bane. He had white blonde hair that sometimes fell over his large sapphire blue eyes. Unlike Bane, Firenize's upper torso was lithe and slightly muscled. The horse part was a palimo color, as lithe as his upper part. Delicate, like a morgan. Of course, morgans aren't palimo colored(A/N: but you knew that, right? Ah, I don't know how much the average person knows about horses -- squeezes horse plushies oo;)

Bane had a much darker look about him, Firenize had the look of childish innocence.

Harry glanced at Draco. He had grown taller over the years, his shoulders were straight and somewhat broad, though not nearly as much as Bane's. His usually brushed and gelled back blonde hair fell over his eyes. Dirt smeared his porcelain skin, and a tiny tint of red had the beginnings of a sunburn. Opposed to Harry's tanned skin. His eyes were a sterling silver when excited or angered, and solemn gray when hurt or withdrawn. Funny, Harry had always thought his eyes as pale, refusing to put an actual color to them before. His clothes were tattered and dirty, It was an odd look to someone who stood so proudly. The years of playing Quidditch more then just competitively against Harry had kept him in shape. They were both somewhat muscled, especially on their abs, from the crouching and straining to avoid buldgers, he supposed. To say for certain, he didn't look like the twelve year old boy he had first met.

He was much more, Harry smiled,.... Manly.

Draco frowned at him, "Hey Harry, what are you looking at?"

Harry gave a small smile, "I'm hungry."

Draco stared at Harry, "You're hungry? So am I...Hey you two, we're hungry!"

Bane glanced up at the sun, "Yes, I suppose we should make something to eat. You two can gather the wood, while Firenize and I gather some food." "Alright, let's go, come one Harry, before they do that disgusting affection thing,-oh dammit, too late.." Firenize had started to lick Bane's neck,(much to his embarrassment) while rubbing his muscled stomach.

"Aww, is wittle Draco jealous?" He rubbed Draco's stomach.

"Uoh, that feels good, do my back."

"Like this?" He put his arm around his chest and dug the heel of his hand into his back.

"Yeah, wow, have you done this sort of thing before?"

"Nope."

"Uuuuh, go lower."

"We should be looking for wood, right?"

"Harry, lower, NOW."

"I guess there's a different kind of wood on your mind, eh?"

Draco shot him a look, "You mean my penis right? You're referring to my PENIS, it's a penis joke. Hah, yeah, so funny."

"Speaking of penis," he bent down and picked up a small twig and gave it to Draco.

By the time they entered their camp with arms full of sticks, the sky had begun to turn a faint orange. Bane had a bunch of large vicious fish, with sharp silver scales, and large sharp teeth peeking out from their gaping mouths, laying near his hooves. He was busy descaling and gutting the fish.

"Oh good, you two are back, do you know how to make a fire," asked Firenize.

Draco and Harry jumped, Firenize had somehow snuck behind them.

Draco and Harry looked at each other, Harry shrugged.

"I guess we'll try."

Firenize pointed to a shallow pit, "Start it over there."

They both knelt around the pit, prodding the dry leaves with their wands.

"Hmm, how does it go again," muttered Draco, prodding a leaf. The wand sparked and a leaf caught fire, and then grew into a small fire.

"Right, I totally meant to do that."

Bane walked up from behind them.

"There is a river ahead of the campsite, if you two want to wash up.."

Before he could finish the two boys were gone, running towards were Bane pointed.

Firenize frowned, "Why did you do that, now we aren't going to see them for hours."

A patient smile spread across his face. "I doubt they'll be that long, and besides, they need a chance for make up sex."

"And, thank you for saving me sex." Firenize added.

"Ah, yes, I'm still waiting for that one."

The boys stood uncertainly in front of the gently coursing river.

"Hey Harry, you get naked first."

"What?"

Draco smiled coyly, "I'm shy, family raising and all." "Right, by shy you mean, incredibly obnoxious and generally UNshy?"

"You know Harry, what part of 'Get naked' do you not understand?"

Harry sighed and pulled his shirt over his head.

"Ooouh, I like that, do your pants now, but slowly."

"I don't like this little game you're playing."

Draco shrugged and stripped down to nothing, then jumped into the river.

"Water's fine," he called back to Harry, back stroking.

He dove under the water, and when he surfaced again, Harry stood over him.

Draco hugged him tightly and playfully nipped the base of his neck.

Harry wriggled in surprise, "Up and about already?"

Draco blushed slightly and pressed harder against him.

"Hey, careful with that," Harry teased, and kissed him.

"Kiss me again." Harry laughed and drew him into a deep kiss, creating a hot seal between their mouths.

"Whoa," gasped Draco, "How did you learn to use your tongue like that?"

He shrugged.

Draco prodded his knee against Harry's groin," Can I....?"

"Can you what?"

"You know," he grinned and glanced downward.

Harry's face turned red, "Er.."

Draco pushed him onto the grassy bank.

"No need to be shy, nothing I haven't seen already, right?"

"I..."

Draco placed his finger against Harry's lips, "Just get on your back, 'kay?"

"On my back?"

"Come on," he pushed him to the ground and straddled him, grinding his self against Harry's self. He leaned forward and licked his neck, moving slowly to his chest, only stopping a moment to teasingly bite at his nipples, and progressed to his sensitive hard stomach, finally ending up at another hard sensitive organ.

By the time the boys came back from the river the sky had turned into a darkish pink and orange. The smell of cooked meat filled the air, and entered their noses, which reminded them of their hunger.

Bane saw them and motioned at the fire surrounded with speared cuts of fish, "It's ready, just pick which ones you want."

Draco sat down and took a piece of nearby meat, tore a piece off and popped it into his mouth, immediately he winced. "Hot," he choked.

"By the way, be careful it is still hot."

"Funny," he muttered," This bloke's got a real sense of humor."

Harry reached forward to get his share, but a sharp pain stabbed at his side.

"Ouch, what the-," he rubbed his sore side and scanned the ground for the source of pain, and saw a small green-blue dragon sitting, whipping her tail around her body anxiously. She pinned ears back and softly blew smoke at Harry.

Draco peered over Harry's back to see what the fuss was about.

"Harry! You found my dragon." He scooped her up waved his piece of meat in front of her nose.

"Yea me," Harry muttered, still rubbing his side. Prat turned her head from the meat offering and snapped at Draco's hand.

"What? Still want your baby food?"

He reached into his robe and pulled out the large jar of Dragonfly honey, and twisted of the lid.

"What's that," Harry asked, watching Prat scramble up the side, eagerly dunking her head in the contents.

"Dragonfly honey, it's very sweet," he shot him a sly look, "Would you like to try?"

Harry looked at him suspiciously, "....Why?"

Draco rolled his eyes, "Come on what are you afraid of?"

"Poison for one.."

"You think I would poison you? I'm hurt," he placed his hand over his heart, "right here."

Under his breath he muttered," DAMN, so close.."

"What was that?"

Draco leaned forward and swished his tongue in his ear.

"Hey.. h-h- ouh."

Draco laughed and leaned back on his hands. "I'm only flirting with you, no need to get so excited." He shot a look at Harry's crotch, which Harry tried to hide vainly.

Harry blushed, "I think it's sleep time."

"Yeah," Draco jabbed his thumb at the two sleeping centaurs, "Those two are already out like a light."

Harry frowned, "Wasn't their whole purpose here to "watch over us".... Whatever that means."

"Yeah, I wonder what the real reason is."

"Real reason?"

"I guess I'll get them to talk tomorrow."

"Draco, please, don't do anything pomp ass and obnixious..just hold it all on the inside."

"Sure thing.."

o.O

It was early in the morning, peaceful. Birds twittered nervously in the trees, the sun filtered through the trees' crowns, softly lighting the ground below.

And Harry woke up to this.

"FOR THE LAST TIME, stop fucking around with our minds, and tell us what the hell you're really doing here!"

Firenize brushed his white hair off his face and smiled at Draco coyly, "Just what, exactly, are you insinuating about us?"

"You two are such a cute couple," said Firenize, smiling.

Draco flushed slightly,"I know, you think so-Hey, don't suddenly 'change' the subject, you four legged bastard!"

Firenize shook his head, much like a horse would shake it's mane. "There is no need to be so rude."

Harry crawled over to were his indignat boyfriend stood, glaring down the centuar.

"Draco," he said, pulling at his pant leg, "Remember 'keeping it on the inside'?"

"Just a second, sexy," he patted Harry on the head, without even looking down, "I'm talking here."

Harry rolled his eyes and yanked hard on the pants, sending Draco straight into Harry.

"Goddammit Harry, the sun's not all the way up, and you're already trying to undress me!"

"There's a simple solution to that, just stop wearing pants."

Draco licked him and winked.

Bane walked over and stood by Firenize. "We will explain after our breakfast, we have fruit."

Draco frowned, "Oh, what is that, some sick gay joke? Like as in, ha ha, fruit, gay, fruit, GAY. Like a man can't screw around with another man, without being called gay."

Harry simpathically patted Draco on the back. "Draco, I'm sure they weren't making a gay joke, since they're gay themselves."

Draco shook his head in disgust, "Sick bastards.."

"Draco.." Harry warned.

"Honestly Harry, I don't know how you do it, to look at those perverts and keep a look of disgust off your face."

"I think gay guys are sexy.." He said, twirling a piece of Draco's blonde hair thoguhtfully.

"Yeah, see? It's that kind of talk that makes people think we're gay."

Firenize handed Harry a large fleshy purple fruit, with horizontal yellow stripes.

"Thanks", said Harry, took a bite. Draco frowned up at him, "Hey, I'm hungry too!"

Harry wiped the juice from his chin, and placed the fruit in front of Draco's face, he took a bite hungerly.

The centuars managed to sidle away from the boys to enjoy there own breakfast, and to talk among themselves.

"Well,I'll say they certainly deserve each other ." Firenize said quietly.

Bane smiled and held out another piece of fruit for Firenize. Firenize made a face, "No more, I'm full."

Bane laughed, "You're full? All you had was a couple pieces of fruit."

"Yes....That's what you said three pieces of fruit ago," he eyed Bane suspiciously, "You aren't trying to fatten me up, are you?"

"Hmph, I can't help it if you're so skinny," said Bane, smiling wickedly,He bit Firenize's lower lip teasingly.

"Bane," Firenize exclaimed, taking a step back, and blushing," there are children not ten feet away from us!"

"They're a bit busy, and besides that, they aren't so childish anymore, are they?"

"Tch, you're just a horny stallion trying to get an innocent little colt like me mounted.."

Bane eyed Firenize, "You're awfully surly."

Firenize winked coyly, "...You know, that time of the year and all..."

Bane laughed, "Ah yes, how could I forget? You use that excuse for everything ....and speaking of 'that time of the year', isn't that an Akuma dragon that hangs about with those two?"

"Yes.."

"Isn't it 'that time of the year ' for dragons also?"

Firenize blinked as the prospect dawned on him, he broke out in a fit of giggles,"I-I- didn't think of that, we're in trouble aren't we? Two horny dragons to deal with. Oh wait, My mistake two horny dragons, and a horny centaur.."

"It could be worse."

"Yes, I'm sure it could be.."

Bane slapped Firenize's rump playfully, "If you're an innocent little colt, I'm Chiron!"

He scrounched his nose,"Ouch. No need to get physical!"

He put his hand on 'Nize's arm and gave him a coy look,"Please?"

Firenize gave him a sly sideways glance,concealing a small smirk, "I think....it's time to, explain to those fledglings what we must do."

Bane rolled his eyes, "You're as coy as a dolt filly, do you know that?"

Firenize bit his ear.

"So you're going to tell us, right?"

Both Firenize and Bane jerked in surprise.

"How long have you been there," demanded Bane, a blush was already starting across his face and threatened to turn a much deeper shade of red.

Draco shrugged and smiled, not too pleasantly, "Since the 'physical' part."

Bane glared at Draco, who was slightly beraggled, his hair totally disheveled and dirt smudges on his face.

Draco grinned back at him.

"....You might have heard the expression Life is a balance."

"No," said Draco painly.

"Draco, shut up," said Harry.

"There is good, there is bad," continued Bane, ignoring the two, "It's always been this way, but the two are a constant struggle. If one ever tipped the universal scales, the universe will be plunged into chaos."

"Wait...if either are greater then the other, it'll be bad."

"That's what I said, yes."

"Even if it's good?"

"A balance is a balance."

"Hmmph."

"ANYway....there's been a sudden..shift in weights. Something seems to have lurched forward and trying to grasp an upperhand."

"Oh dear lord, this isn't another, 'Only you two can save the world' thing is it," moaned Draco, covering his face with his hands.

Harry patted him on the back," it's ok, you'll get used to it."

"I am sorry," apoloigized Bane, "but, it wasn't us who choose you."

Harry frowned, "Then who did?"

"Prophets, whose identitys are unknown, who were spoken to by the stars.....10,000 years ago."

Draco and Harry looked at each other.

"Oh yeah? How do you know they were talking about us? Huh? You've probably got the wrong guys, although I doubt it," he muttered.

"Aw, your so cute," Harry pinched his cheek .

"Ow owwww, grrr TT" p.oed emotiacon, YAY!

Bane luaghed quietly and smiled. "There is a prophecy, that two of the most powerful wizards will join and rise up, that is You, and Harry."

Draco frowned, "How do you know it's us?"

Firenize smiled," Did Harry not survive the most powerful attack, from the most powerful wizard? Did you Draco, not slow time to dodge your mother's attack, one that is notorious for it's incredible speed?"

Draco stared "I..I didn't do that."

"Then who?"

"But I didn't do anything! How can I be expected to do a great thing, when I've done nothing of the sort?!"

"We're the phrophizied ones, DEAL with it!" Said Harry,giving Draco's hair a sharp pull.

Bane stood, "The day is young, we must be on our way."

Draco folded his arms across his chest, "Hey, you didn't say what exactly what we have to do.."

"We have to talk with out elders first, in our village."

Draco held up one finger," Just one more question....has anyone ever done this sort of thing before?"

"Er..in short no."

"Spac- freakin'-tacular."
