It wasn't long before the members of the Order started slowly left to
return to their own lives. Draco was glad for this.
Sirius and Lupin took a seat near the fire by Draco's side.
"Draco, I know it hurts. Its like we've lost our best friend all over again." Said Lupin
Draco didn't say anything.
"Draco, you need to eat, you need to do something. Just sitting here isn't going to bring Harry back." Said Sirius
"No, but what can I do?" Replied Draco who didn't have the strength in him to speak louder than a whisper.
"We could try and look for clues." Said Sirius
"No, its okay." Replied Draco willing back tears.
"Draco, why are you holding that book?" Asked Lupin as politely as possible.
Draco shut his eyes trying to debate weather he should allow these two men into the very private thoughts of Harry's feelings for the Slytherin. He decided he would, not too deep but just enough so they'll leave him in peace.
Draco let go of his knees and placed the book neatly on top of his lap. He saw the silver heart with wings fluttering frantically on the cover of the book but the heart was no longer silver. It was a red heart with silver wings. Draco picked up his half heart necklace and looked at it. It had also turned into a red colour.
"What's going on?" Asked Draco as his eyes grew wider in fear that something bad had happened to Harry. Then Draco realized that being kidnapped by some maniac who is in love with you is bad enough.
Both Sirius and Lupin looked at Draco bewildered.
"The heart. When I gave the heart to Harry it was a silver heart with silver wings. Why is it red now?"
Neither Sirius nor Lupin knew the answer to this.
"And the book. The heart was silver on the book too, why is it red? I don't get it."
The heart disappeared into the book and Draco went searching for it. Flipping page after page.
After looking and flipping page after page without any luck in even spotting the flying heart Lupin and Sirius were getting a bit worried about Draco. Draco had started crying without his own knowledge of actually doing so when he was flipping the pages afraid that he would never find the heart again.
Finally Sirius decided to say something, "Draco-"
"Shuu!" interrupted Draco while tears were still rolling down his face.
Sirius and Lupin looked at each other for a moment then returned their gaze to Draco.
Draco let out a big exuberated sigh, "Where is it?"
"Where's what?" Asked Lupin
"The heart, you saw it right?"
"Yes but-"
"Well, it was weird. The heart appeared the day after Harry and I made love."
"After you what?" Asked Lupin
Sirius put his hand on Lupin silencing him immediately.
The book was still open on Draco's lap. Draco shut his eyes for a while. He lost the flying heart.
Suddenly Lupin had reached over and was shaking Draco furiously.
Draco opened his eyes and saw there on the page the book was opened to, the heart.
"Yes!" Exclaimed Draco
The heart looked like it was out of breath but glad that it had finally found Draco. Suddenly one of the wings started making a waving motion.
Draco's eyebrows shoed that he was very confused with what the heart was implication.
"Draco, I think it wants you to follow it." Said Lupin who was looking at the book along with Sirius.
The heart zoomed a few pages forward and Draco flipped the pages following. Finally it landed on a page and stopped there. Again, it was something Harry had written on behalf of Draco.
"I've realized that I lost a lot of people I love. The other day I lost the one person who was the closest thing I ever had to a parent. Sirius is gone, I lost him. And I have made a vow, to never let anyone close to me again. It hurts too much when I end up losing them. I think that is why I am refusing to be with him. I don't want to lose the beautiful mass of light in my life. If I ever lose him, I wouldn't know what to do. It hurts too much to just look at him knowing I can't have him. That breath taking pale skin of his, its so smooth, I just know it is. That smirk would be the light of my life; I just know it, if only he would smile. I don't want to have him and lose him.
"If in the future, and that is one BIG if, we get together and he is taken away from me, I want to make sure there is no way I wont be able to reach him like with Sirius. That is why I have cast a spell on this book. In this book holds the secret to bonded love. Bonded love as in love that has been brought to it's fullest potential, that is, bonding not only the bodies together, but bonding the souls as well. On the next page will have a spell for me to cast if I ever lose him. All I need remember is that I must be holding a quill with ink on a blank piece of parchment, most effective would be within this book. Hold the quill above the blank parchment and chant the spell once. After that is done the quill will automatically direct me to him. Weather it is in a drawing or a map, it will lead me to him."
Draco looked up at Lupin and Sirius. Their eyes were wide open. Finally Sirius snapped out of the shock and stumbled a bit as he got up to find a quill and some ink. Draco flipped the page and saw the chant. It wasn't a very long one so he quickly took the time to memorize it.
When Sirius returned with the quill and ink Draco was furious that he took so long.
Draco turned to the back of the book where there was a crisp blank sheet of parchment. Draco held the quill directly above the parchment just slightly allowing the ink to almost touch the page but not allowing an ink splotch.
"This chant is to give me my lost love back, Our heart has become one and I know it will not crack. He has been taken away, And I long for his touch every day. Please do not deny me this one request, For he is truly me at my very best. Show me, direct me in any which way, Just bring him back to me so that in my arms he can stay."
All of a sudden the quill started moving. There was so much energy within the quill, Draco could feel it. 'So this is what a Ouiji board feels like' thought Draco.
All three of them starred at the quill as it worked its way along the page.
Sirius and Lupin took a seat near the fire by Draco's side.
"Draco, I know it hurts. Its like we've lost our best friend all over again." Said Lupin
Draco didn't say anything.
