Classes dragged by with an irritating slowness especially for Draco since Dylan didn't show up. He wasn't worried about his lover as he knew he could take care of himself, he was more paranoid about what he was planning.

When lunch time finally came around Draco went and sat by the lakes edge to await his lover. The possibilities that went through his mind about what Dylan could want to talk about were all more unlikely than the next.

His heart rate quickened as he watched Dylan approach. He looked equally as nervous, when at appropriate distance from each other they embraced on another.

"We need to talk Dray it's really important but first I have to ask you something, a couple of things actually."

"OK, but you've got me kind of worried."

"Don't be, I wanted to ask if you trust me and do you really truly love me?"

"Of course, I'd give anything for you. Why did you ask me that?"

"Because I want to ask you to marry me but before you give me your answer..."

"Wait did you just say marry me?"

"Yes but before you give me your answer I need to tell you something."

"But I want to give you my answer, its yes." Draco squealed hugging Dylan again.

"Great but I'm not who you think I am."

"What do you mean?"

"It's hard to explain but you need to know. Voldermort isn't my father."

"What?"

"He murdered my parents when I was one and took me as a son, but as far as I'm concerned this doesn't change anything between us, I still love you."

Draco stood in silence pondering what he had been told then coming to a quick decision he replied. "That only changes your background, it doesn't change who you are here." He placed his hand on Dylan's chest where his heart would have been. "I still love you and still want to marry you."

"It also changes my name, I'm Harry James Potter."

"But that still doesn't change the person you are, the person I fell in love with."

Harry flung his arms around the other teen and kissed him. To state the obvious by saying the rest of lunch time was not spent in the great hall eating lunch is an understatement.

Before they were about to go back to the castle Harry put a hand inside his robe pocket and brought out a white gold ring.

"Dumbledore gave this to me, it was my mothers."

Draco looked into Harry's emerald orbs and smiled. "Thank you, for giving me something so precious, for loving me, for wanting to marry me."

"I love you and nothing will ever change that."

earlier that day

It was just after breakfast and Harry had just received an owl from Lusius giving his permission for the marriage proposal. He was now heading up to the headmasters study; he had to inform him about the dream, to see if it had any significance.

It wasn't long before he was sat in front of the elderly headmaster telling him every detail he could remember. The most specific being the pain of feeling someone close to him dieing.

Dumbledore however was far more interested in the concluding part of the dream that had clearly depicted Harry writing to the enemy asking him to turn back time.

"Do you know why you may have done this?" He asked in a forced tone of calm.

"It was because of whom I was, I loved Draco even in that world but because of my standing of being a hero he said he could never love me back."

"So you did this for love."

"I suppose, I got what I wanted, he loves me, I'm going to ask him to marry me today."

"Can you remember your age at the time?"

"I think I may have been sixteen the same age I am now."

"I know this is hard but how far into the school year were you?"

"Near the end I think why, what has this got to do with anything?"

"Was it a time turner that you used."

Harry closed his eyes in concentration trying to recall anything at all. "Yes."

"Then we have a solution."

"What do you mean?"

"Never mind, here, if you truly love Draco Malfoy then I want you to have this, it was your mothers." The headmaster brought out what looked like a ring from on of his many desk drawers. "When your father asked your mother to marry him he gave her this."

"Thank you Professor, there is one other thing, Voldermort, he's putting up a fight he said my mother was in Gryffindor and that what ever you say is a lie, he doesn't know that I discovered what he did, he wants me to go home for Christmas."

"Keep it that way; we will of course arrange safety precautions for you, now I believe you have some where to be."

Harry looked up at the clock on the headmaster's wall, it was lunch time. He stood to leave, as he opened the door he said. "Snape is still alive, but he won't be for long."


So what do you think? I know you didn't want Snape to die so he's not dead...yet. hope your enjoying the story. Please review thanks SS

To answer Miss Lesley's question's which are all very good I have to say here are wha your looking for. Thank's for pointing these out.

1)He's nosey, curious and an idiot.

2) I assumed that Ron saved her or maybe the teachers found her in time.

3)Because they recognized him but weren't to certain, the photos proved it. They didn't think because they were so happy to have Gryffindor's heir back.

4) He was afraid of what Draco would do or think, he didn't want to lose him when he wasn't sure, He knows that he can trust the Gryfindor's when the approach him, Draco could have run to his father.

5)He's always been suspicious of his father because of the absence of a mother, however he's never dared to question him. I never said he had grown up loved and endulged more on that will be reveled later on, Harry has never enjoyed being apart of Dark MAgic but has gone along with it beacuse he thinks that it is what he was born to do.

6) He sent HArry to Durmstrang to keep him away from Dumbledore but he never really made any friend's their, Voldie had to send Harry to Hogwart's to keep his wordthat Draco and Harry would be together, if he didn't they couldn't have got together. Voldie may be evil bbut he won't go back on his word. He also underestimates Dumbledore, he hopes that he doesn't recognize him but their is nothing he can do.

7) Harry doesn't really pay attention in deatheather meeting's as he doesn't really enjoy being there, he leaves iit to Voldie to pick out the spies. Snape either doesn't hear or doesn't think anything about it.
