Disclaimer: I don't own any Harry Potter characters but I do own my characters, Gecko, Zneeze, Voren, Albun, Sumud, Salty Fish and Sap.

Warning: This fic contains some YAOI scenes. You had better not read it if you're against it so don't flame me because of that.


"Huh? Why will I never be?" asked the evil spirit, with some fear in its voice.

"Because I have interpreted professor's words and now I know why I am the key," Harry paused for a moment. "I thought and thought why they didn't kill me right after you've come out."

"Just because he dared not. You're protected. Any charms being cast on you will be recoiled back," said Minorus.

"No," said Harry confidently. He took in a deep breath and continued, "It's because if I die, the evil spirit will also disappear."

"Why?"

"Because the evil spirit is me," said Harry. Zneeze covered her mouth with her hands. Sumud folded her arms and closed her eyes. Minorus stared at Harry while Salty Fish smiled and nodded her head.

"How do you know that, Harry?" said Zneeze.

"Because he was doing what I was thinking at the particular moment it came out," said Harry. He paused a while. The memory that Malfoy in the evil spirit state tried to kiss himself made him embarrassed. He blushed. He took a look at Malfoy to see whether Malfoy had finally freed himself form the evil spirit. "The evil spirit itself is also implanted by me. I have broken through the memory charm. It is me who has imagined all these things. I implanted the evil spirit in him. That fat man in the very first beginning was imagined also by me. Albun just want to make use of the evil spirit's power to take revenge on you, Minorus. No one else could have done that. I remember now. I brought us here and it was I who performed the memory charm."

"Finally, you admit it to yourself. You know why only three of the Marauders are here, without Peter Pettigrew," said Salty Fish.

"So this world.."

"Is only imagined by you," said Salty Fish.

"It's just my dream?"

"No, everything that happens here had truly taken place in the real world."

"I don't understand."

"More precisely, this is a world of the past. All the events that happen here happened twenty years ago. But the fact is that some extra people are added in these events according to your will."

"But I remember I just meant to go back to the past with Malfoy to meet my parents. How come? Is it just a dream? I couldn't have created this world! Who did it?" said Harry who was startled. He glanced around and found no evidence that it was a false world.

"No, it is real. You can feel painful and you have senses, right? There someone in your real world who would have always been your enemy since you were born and who have always wanted to get rid of you," said Fish. Minorus let go of Salty Fish, realizing that Fish was not her daughter. Zneeze was puzzled by their conversation.

"Well, you mean Voldemort? Who are you? Why do you know so many things? It seems that I've seen you. Who are you?" muttered Harry. He was somehow scared by Fish who even knew more about him than he himself did.

"I'm your guardian angel. Believe it or not, I am," said Fish, smiling kindly.

"Harry? What happened? I was controlled again? Have I done anything again?" said Malfoy who have come back to his real self again.

"Oh, Draco, my dearest Draco, finally," muttered Harry. He hugged Malfoy as hard as he could as if he was afraid that he would lose Malfoy again. "Malfoy, are you okay?"

"I'm alright. How about you?" Malfoy asked warmly as he stretched his arms around Harry's neck. Little did he know that he was towards the last moment of his life. How I wish time will stop at this moment, Harry thought. The whole world became still. Zneeze remained the same posture and so did Minorus. Sumud was still folding her arms. They were not at all blinking their eyes. It proved to Harry that what Fish said was true. At this moment, only Fish could move. Harry gazed at Fish. He finally realized why it seemed to him that it was never the first time he saw Fish. In fact, Fish resembled Lily Evans much. He had always wondered why he could only find his father, James but not his mother, Lily Evans. Professor Salty Fish was actually Lily Evans. His mother had always been there with him as his guardian angel. Harry could not help with the tears in his eyes. They were falling down his cheeks. He should have known it earlier. Why had he been so numb? Lily had been protecting him all the time..

A cold voice broke the warm silence. "Finally, it's our duel time, Harry Potter." It was Albun. He stood up. His eyes were shining with fierceness. Harry felt a burning pain on his forehead. It was because of his scar.

"Don't even think about it, Voldemort," snapped Lily.

"You can protect him? You are dead! Remember that?" Voldemort grinned.

"Even so, I'm going to risk my life again to protect my son, my beloved son.. my only son, Harry. If it is my fate to die in order to save him, I'll accept it," Lily pulled out her wand and stood in front of Voldemort so that Harry was out of the reach of the devil.

"Expelliarmus," bellowed Voldemort and Lily's wand flew out of her hand. "No...!" cried Harry. Harry's screams could not stop Voldemort. "Don't forget: this world is created by me! Avada Kedavra!" The very much familiar green flash of the curse struck Lily. It reminded Harry of the nightmare that haunted him every night. Again, his mother died to save him. "Mum!" cried Harry. His tears stopped falling down his cheeks. He wanted to run straight to Voldemort but was held back by Malfoy.

"You wanna die? You're no match with him!" said Malfoy as he caught Harry's arms.

"I don't care! He's killed my parents. I've got to take revenge. Let go of me!" screamed Harry who had lost his temper then. While they were struggling, Voldemort had already got ready. He took out a sword. He knew that he could not kill Harry with just a wand as he was reminded of the match he had with Harry last year after the Triwizard Tournament. He ran towards Harry whose back was to him, obviously trying to strike Harry with the sword. Malfoy was aware of that but it was too late for Harry to dodge it. Instead, Malfoy pushed Harry aside with his own back to the sword. The sword went straight through his back and came out from the left side of his chest. Voldemort pulled out the sword, knowing that he did not kill Harry. Malfoy fell down, with his face on the ground. He was dying.

"No..! Draco..! Voldemort!" In a rage, Harry took out his wand. Voldemort was not quick enough. Harry concentrated all his agony, the death of his parents, the death of Cedric Diggory and all the others who had suffered because of Voldemort. He concentrated hard and he got the power. It was the magical power he was born with. "Avada Kedavra!" shouted Harry. The green flash struck Voldemort and he fell on the ground, motionless. Harry ran over and embraced Malfoy who was lying on the ground.

"No.. Draco, you can't die. We still have our future. Please, please, live on, for our sake," said Harry who could no longer control himself. As Voldemort was dead, the false world began to collapse. All the people surrounding them, Zneeze, Minorus, Sumud, Voldemort and Lily began to disintegrate and vanish.

"Har..ry.., don't cry. It.. it's my f.. ate." Malfoy stuttered with his last effort, "There is some..thing I must tell.. tell you. I.." Malfoy coughed, "I love you, Harry."

"I love you too," replied Harry with his tears falling hysterically.

"Thank you so much," Malfoy murmured. He stretched his hand, trying to touch Harry's face. He nearly touched Harry but the lifeless hand fell. Malfoy closed his eyes peacefully. Harry shook Malfoy's body hopelessly but it made no movement. Harry kissed on Malfoy's cold, lifeless and motionless lips. The coldness of death poured into Harry's heart. It was their first and also the last kiss. After that, Malfoy's body disintegrated, leaving behind Voldemort's sword.

Harry was again back in the dark room of the Dursleys. It was then five o'clock in the morning. The sun would soon rise. Yes, it would soon rise. However, that did not matter to Harry. He was in despair. He was again the boy who lived but his heart was no more alive. He looked round and found a sword ¡V the sword which Voldemort had used to kill Malfoy. Harry wiped off his tears. He took out a quill from his drawer and wrote something on a piece of paper. It took him only ten minutes and he finished with it. "Fate.." Harry grinned dryly, "Good bye. Let's meet in heaven, Draco," muttered Harry. He picked up the sword and put it across his throat. He closed his eyes and exerted force on the sword..

The Dursleys were still sleeping quietly. Duddley was dreaming of a big birthday feast. The sun ray shone into the bedroom in Number Four Privet Drive but the room remained as silent as ever..
