Inside the apartment like rooms Luc had Draco and Ryuu wash up and get ready for bed. Ryuu was brushing his fang when Draco stepped into the bathroom.

"You know I didn't mean it right? I love you and I'd never say anything to hurt you." Dray pleaded to Ryuu.

"I thought we went threw this? I know. I really do. I love you to Dray but please drop it." Ryuu stated as he put up his toothbrush and hugged Dray to comfort him.

Ryuu was a bit tired still from all his healing and now all that had gone on that day so as soon as he sat laid down he was out like a light.

Draco walked over to his brother's other side and got in beside him settling in for the night.

When Ryuu was six an incident happened and he now couldn't be left alone at night or be in small places. He would have panic attacks or horrid dreams that Draco wished he could be rid of.

It was 4 am when something woke Draco up. He looked around blearily and noticed that Ryuu was missing.

He immediately sat up and was wide-awake and looking around the rooms. He came across to his dads and knocked.

It was opened an instant later with another bleary-eyed Malfoy looking at Draco in confusion.

"I can't find Ry." Was all Draco said before the door was shoved all the way open and Luc was stalking towards the portrait to the outside hallways.

Draco followed and they split up to look for Ryuu.

Draco went towards the potion dungeons while Luc went upstairs to look.

Draco was rounding a corner when he heard Ry whimper and a snarky voice snap at Ry who just continued to whimper.

Draco dashed towards the noise and saw Snape holding onto Ryuu's arm hard enough to bruise. Ry was whimpering and twisting his way away from his foe.

Snape had no idea what was going on with Ryuu. So he held firm and was trying to get Ryuu to snap out of it. He grabbed a hold of Ryuu's face and touched his bare skin.

"NO!" Draco hissed as Ryuu crumpled to the ground and started to have seizures rake his thin body.

Draco rushed over to Ry and held his shaking body. He jerked Snape's hand from Ryuu's and whispered sweet nothings to his non-responsive body.

Draco couldn't get Ryuu's body to calm down so he howled a grieving wolf howl into the air.

Unconsciously Ryuu howled back though he didn't regain consciousness as his body continued to go through Seizures.

Snape stood watch not knowing what else to do. He had knelt down to Draco's side but he couldn't touch Ryuu, as Draco would smack his hands away.

"Don't touch him." Was all Draco would snarl out each time.

The sound off feet was heard and a little later Remus Lupin was standing beside Serverus.

"What happened and who howled?" Remus shot out.

"He howled and I have no idea what happened. All I did was touch-" Serverus didn't get to finish that as Luc appeared in his transformed state.

"You TOUCHED him!!!!" Luc growled out before he stopped short beside Ryuu and Draco never noticing Remus.

Luc snatched Ryuu into his arms and muttered words under his breath. Nothing seemed to work and he looked at Draco pleadingly.

"I'm sorry but I he has to be touched by him again." Luc whispered softly.

"Like hell he is!" Draco shot up in an instant.

"It nearly kills him every time and you want to have him touched again with someone so strong in hiding their past? How dare you father! That can kill him!" Draco shouted.

"It's his only hope Draco." Luc tried again but Draco snapped and shouted, "He was pulled from our cold- dead mother's body so don't tell me its his only hope! I will not loose my brother as we lost our mother! He survived then he can survive now!"

"Enough Draco! It has to be done. He's caught in a vision with Voldermort as well that's why he can't get out of it or can we calm him down." Albus Dumbledore shouted as he appeared out of nowhere rounding on Draco as he saw that Luc was about to give in.

"If he dies I will never forgive you." Draco promised to Albus as he got up and moved away.

"No Albus. If he's caught in a vision then just wait it out. He'll come around he always dose." Lucas said as he finally realized that his son was right.

"Serverus come here and grab his face with both hands and take the information. Don't let go what ever you do."

Albus ordered as he ignored both Malfoy's and with a snap of his fingers he had them frozen in place along with Remus.

"Don't fight me on this. I need this information on Voldermort and I will have it intact." Snarled Albus who surprised even Serverus who instantly complied.

"NO!!! You can't take it from him by force. You will kill him! He's emotion keyed. You force this memory from him and it will kill him!" Shouted both Malfoy's at the same time as Serverus grabbed both sides of Ryuu's head.

Serverus struggled to get away but failed.

"Sorry Serverus but I need this information and you are the only one who can get it. Don't fight it for it's just a waist of time. There is nothing you can do." Albus laughed as Serverus still struggled against his own actions.

Ryuu had lost all color on his face and started to howl in pain. His body lurched and jumped, as the pain grew stronger. He half screamed half howled in pain before his body fell limp and Serverus pulled away.

Draco was shaking badly and looking at his brother in shock as Serverus was doing the same but looking at his hands and Dumbledore.

"I...I...can't feel him! I can't FEEL him anymore!!!!!" Draco howled and lunged at the barrier holding him.

"Let me go you basterd! You killed him! He's dead!" Draco shouted as he started to transform!

"NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Was shouted into the air as Draco reached his brother's side.

"It had to be done my boy." Albus said as he disappeared leaving a silent Remus and Luc and a hysterical Draco and Serverus.
