Chapter 4:Surprises.
Draco woke Harry the next morning by kissing him lightly on the lips, He stirred immediately.
"Happy birthday my lion" he said.
"Hmm thanks, good morning my dragon, I could wake up like that every morning."
"I'll bet you could, come here." Said Draco leaning in for another kiss.
They lay in bed, Harry's head resting on Draco's shoulder feeling the warmth and love from Draco as he wrapped his arms around Harry both basking in the comfort and love they felt for each other. Ron began to stir, he sat up and stretched noticed his two friends were awake and smiled.
"Mornin mates, happy birthday Harry."
"Mornin Ron thanks."Harry beamed.
"Good morning Ron." Said Draco.
"Come on get up you two, big day today." Ron said, winking to Draco with a grin as Harry went to the bathroom.
Dressed and ready they went down to the kitchen, everybody was waiting for them. As they walked through the door Harry saw a huge breakfast banquet spread across the kitchen table and a birthday banner strung above the fireplace. Every body said happy birthday to Harry and they sat to enjoy their banquet, Harry decided as they were going out for the day that he would open his presents when they got back as he was already over whelmed at the wonderful breakfast that they had arranged for his birthday and opening presents at that moment he would not be able to hold back the tears any longer.
"So birthday boy what spell are you going to cast now you're of age and won't get arrested?" asked Fred with a mischievous grin on his face.
Harry thought for a moment and then beamed.
"Expecto Patronum!" Harry cast.
Prongs appeared and trotted to Harry's outstretched hand so he could stroke him.
"Hiya Prongs."
As Prongs moved forward to nuzzle Harry's other hand a moment and then vanished, none of those who knew the significance of this had a dry eye between them, Draco looked curious.
"Harry?" he asked
"Oh course; well it's a long story. When dad and Sirius became animagi dad's form was a white stag identical and Prongs was my dad's nickname. So I figured seeing as mum and dad couldn't be here then Prong's was the next best thing." He said as a single tear rolled down his cheek. This was his best birthday since he'd found out he was a wizard, Sirius came over to Harry and Draco and hugged him.
"Nice choice, are you ok?"
"I'm fine honestly." He said with a smile.
"Right you lot, be ready to go in ten minutes." Sirius said.
When everyone was ready to go, they all gathered in the kitchen.
"Ok Draco, come over here so I can do your glamour charm for you." Tonks said "Right what was it you wanted to change, oh yeah I remember you wanted your hair black and blue eyes, you'll need a tan as well other wise you'll be too pale, ok."Tonks muttered the correct spells and everyone gasped.
"Hey Draco you look just like Severus did when he was your age." Sirius said.
"Merlin, you're still gorgeous." Harry said coming over to give him a kiss.
"So what shall we call you just in case we run into people we know?" Tonks asked.
"How about Drake no one will guess it's you in a million years." Ginny suggested.
"Drake's fine, you're right no one will guess it's me, thanks Ginny." He said giving her a peck on the check making her blush.
"How are we getting to Diagon Alley then?" Harry asked.
" Knight bus, but were going to walk a few blocks away from here first though." replied Moody.
"Oh Ron take this with you to get yours and Ginny's school things, you know where to go, I need to stay here in case anyone from the order needs to leave a report or contact were waiting for Kingsley to drop in a report anyway." Ron nodded knowingly.
"Thanks mum, no problem."
Sirius, Remus, Tonks and Moody were accompanying the five as they walked a few blocks from the house laughing and joking as they went. Tonks and Moody walked with Ron, Hermione and Ginny behind Harry and Draco who were with Sirius and Remus.
Tonks summoned the knight bus with her usual warning to Stan to keep his mouth shut as he showed them to their seats on the top deck, it was the quickest journey they had ever had on the knight bus which relieved Ron greatly as he never did like travelling on this, Draco was also relieved he had hated every minute of the journey.
"Merlin, I never want to get on that again, he drives like a maniac."
"We'll have too, that's how were getting home again later my Dragon." Said Harry, giving 'Drake' a kiss on the cheek.
"So where first?" Sirius asked as they entered The Leaky Cauldron.
"Erm-"Harry didn't get chance to finish.
"Bless my soul Harry Potter, Happy Birthday Mister Potter." Old Tom the bar tender said loudly as they entered, as if on cue everyone went quiet and looked to the group. People rushed forward to greet a very embarrassed Harry and wish him a very happy birthday, he thanked each of them for their kind wishes and looked to the others with a help me look across his face, and they just laughed.
"Mister Potter would you and your friends like a drink? It'll be on the house as it's your birthday." Asked Old Tom, Harry looked to Sirius who nodded chuckling.
"Yes please that would be lovely thank you." He replied, Harry felt uncomfortable with the attention he always did but with Sirius' encouragement he accepted the kind gesture.
"What'll it be?"
"Butter beers please" Harry replied knowing that they all needed to stay alert.
"Have a seat Mister Potter I'll bring them over for you and your friends." Harry nodded and motioned for the others to sit as Tom brought the drinks over not knowing that they were being watched by a stranger who quickly left to inform his master who he had just seen.
Harry thanked Old Tom for the drinks on behalf of the group; Old Tom just waved his hand and said.
"Think nothing of it Mister Potter it's an honour to have you here." Harry blushed as he left them to enjoy their drinks after Moody checked discreetly that they were safe.
"Harry you're famous you should be used to it by now get over it." Ron chuckled; Harry rolled his eyes and gave him a shy smile.
They finished their drinks bid everyone goodbye and headed in to Diagon Alley, it was decided that they would go to the jewellers so Harry could pick out his watch from Sirius and Remus. Harry chose a silver wizard watch that had a dial like the Weasley's clock hidden under the time piece, the jeweller added enough hands to cover Sirius, Remus, Draco, Hermione, Hagrid and all of the Weasley's. Sirius went with the jeweller to have the watch inscribed and gift wrapped so that Harry could open it with his other gifts later that day. From there they bought their things needed for next term. They ran into many of their friends from Gryffindor and also the DA, after wishing h Harry happy birthday they each asked who the hunk was that was holding Harry's hand so Harry introduced 'Drake' to each of his friends. Draco was surprised to see how he liked each of them and how nice to him they all were.
They went to Madame Malkin's for Harry's new robes, Harry tried on five sets of robes that Draco had suggested he should try, Harry settled on three that he really liked as well as some new robes for school. Draco wanted to buy the robes for him so after ten minutes of trying Draco convinced Harry by saying that he should consider them as his extra birthday presents.
"Thank you my dragon, you will be thanked properly later." Harry said seductively as he kissed Draco.
"You welcome my lion." He replied kissing Harry passionately receiving cat calls and whistles from the others.
"Get a room you two." Ron said laughing as they shrunk the robes and Harry put them in his pouch and into his pocket with the rest of his things.
They were back out on Diagon Alley when suddenly Harry froze his hand gone to his scar and he paled.
"Harry what is it what's wrong?" Sirius and Draco asked.
"Get back in to Malkin's now." Harry whispered.
"Harry what's-"Draco began.
"He's here, go with the others and get back in there now."
"Harry we're not going anywhere." Said Hermione.
"You get in there now Mione take Ron, Draco and Ginny you're not of age."
"But-"
"Look I'll be damned if he hurts any of you especially today of all days now GO!"
Spell's were flying at them from the death eaters, people all around them were screaming as the dark mark appeared in the sky as people saw it and started running in to the shops to get out of the way. Sirius, Remus, Tonks and Moody were duelling with the death eaters no spell's were coming at Harry Voldemort was walking to him their eyes sere locked on each other scowling.
'Shit why today of all fucking days.' Harry thought to himself angrily.
"Harry Potter we meet again, this is a little birthday present for you and a warning, I want you to pass on a message to an old friend of mine."
"What do you want?" Harry spat. Voldemort ignored Harry and carried on.
"I want you to tell Severus Snape that I will find him. You are not ready to face me Potter you never will be enjoy your birthday it will be your last." he smirked; he waved his hand to stop the death eaters and they all apparated as well as Voldemort.
Harry's wand was firing red sparks anyone who looked at him could tell he was severely pissed off. Draco and the others ran back to him.
"Are you all ok, I swear one of these days I'm gunna kill his sorry fucking arse." He asked them.
"Never mind us are you ok, what was he saying?" Sirius asked.
"I'm fine we'll discuss it later anyway he said I should enjoy my last birthday." seethed Harry
"Come on lets get out of here we were going in to muggle London anyway now is as good a time as any." Tonks said, they all nodded in agreement as Harry was trying to calm down.
"Let's go for a drink first I know I could do with a drink after that." Sirius said.
They headed towards The Leaky Cauldron Harry walked in silence with a tight hold of Draco's hand, he suddenly saw someone that cheered him up immediately,
"Hagrid!"Harry called with a beaming smile.
"Ello all, happy birthday Harry."Hagrid said with his own beaming smile.
"Thanks Hagrid, come for a drink with us." replied Harry
"I'd love to, what's up with the rest of you; you look like you just had a run in with one of me skrewt's?" Hagrid asked chuckling.
"We just had a run in with Voldemort and his lackies." Harry muttered.
"WHAT! He- he was here why, are you ok?" Hagrid asked worriedly.
"Were fine that's why we're going for a drink besides he said I should enjoy my last birthday." Harry said.
"Merlin I really need one now." He said and followed the others.
They arrived at The Leaky Cauldron and asked Old Tom for a private parlour to use; he very happily obliged them showing them to the room. This time they chose something a little stronger to drink.
"What a morning, don't let that bastard spoil your day Harry." Sirius said.
"I won't, I'm just glad no one was hurt." Harry replied.
"Well we might as well eat while we're here." Remus suggested.
"Sure, why not." Tonks said. Old Tom went to fetch the menus
"I'm buying then." Harry said.
"No you're not I am, I'm your boyfriend and it's your birthday so I'm buying." Draco said firmly then kissed Harry making Harry smile.
"Boyfriend, Harry who is this?" Hagrid asked puzzled, Draco nodded to Tonks who removed the charm. Hagrid looked at Draco and beamed.
"Well it's about time you two." The others fell about laughing. Tonks put the charm back on Draco before Old Tom came back with the menus.
"Alright order anything you like I'm buying." Draco said.
They all enjoyed their lunch and it was time to head in to muggle London so Harry could get some more clothes. They all bid goodbye to Hagrid.
"I'll see you later on Harry." Hagrid said as he was leaving receiving sharp looks from the others.
"I shouldn't have said that." He muttered and left quickly.
Harry was a little confused but was soon distracted by Draco pulling him to the nearest clothes shop.
"Ok let's get your size first before you start trying on outfits." Draco said grabbing a few pairs of jeans and shirts. (AN wizarding sizes are different from muggles in my fic, tehe.)
"Try these on come out and show us which fit you the best." Said Draco handing the clothes to Harry, with a quick kiss Harry disappeared in to the changing room.
The first clothes he tired fit perfectly 'Oh my god these feel great and for once they fit perfectly.'
"Are you done yet?" Draco called.
"Yeah they feel great."
"Come out then lion."
"No." he wasn't sure if he looked ok or not.
"Harry come out." Draco pleaded.
"No."
"Don't you trust me?" Draco said with a mock hurt tone.
"Yes but-"
"Then get your cute butt out here before I drag you out." He said chuckling.
"Alright but don't laugh at me." Harry sighed.
Harry pulled back the curtain, Ginny, Hermione and even Tonks gasped, they guys stood there mouths open like goldfish.
"What, I look stupid don't I, I knew I would?" they all snapped out of it and giggled.
"What?" he asked starting to feel very self conscious.
"Wow Harry now you look like a hero." Tonks said.
"Ok operation Harry begins Ron and Mione you get tops and shirts Ginny you and I will get Trousers and jeans, ok let's go." Draco said. "Harry you stay here with your guard and by the way you look hot in that." he whispered seductively making Harry blush while his guard laughed.
"Harry calm down honey he knows what he's doing you look great in that." Tonks said, the rest of his guard all nodded their approval at Harry's new look, Except Moody who hadn't heard her due to keeping a look out to make sure the others were ok.
"Remember Potter CONSTANT VIGILANCE!" every one in the shop jumped when they heard Moody's catch phrase Harry and the others all fell about laughing.
An hour and a half later Harry had tried on six shirts, eleven tops, three pairs of jeans two pairs of trousers and a pair of leather pants which they all agreed he looked great in, Draco had also picked out some new shoes for him that went with everything and a belt with a silver buckle that had a dragon on it.
"I think I have enough now guys really, thanks for helping." Harry said.
"Well you certainly have some decent clothes now." Sirius said.
Harry paid for the clothes except the belt which Draco insisted on buying once they were out of the shop Sirius went in to a nearby alley and shrunk them to put in his pocket.
"So where to next Harry?" asked Remus.
"Actually could we go back to home it's been a really great day I just want to spend the rest of the day with you all back home." Harry said.
"Hang on a sec, I want to go in there and get that cute top I won't be a minute." Tonks said running to the nearest clothes shop.
Tonks grabbed the first top her size and went in to the changing rooms and took out her mirror for the order.
"Molly." She said to the mirror after a few second Molly's face appeared in the mirror.
"What's up is every one ok Hagrid's here he told us what happened in Diagon Alley."
"Wotcher Molly Its ok we're fine I just wondered if you're ready back there Harry wants to come back."
"Yes its fine we're all ready, listen Hagrid's worried he thinks he let slip about the party."
"No tell him its ok Harry hasn't got a clue honestly, so we can make our way back now then."
"Yes the foods done the twins have just got the music and lights sorted and every one is here we're all ready any time is fine."
"Ok we'll be back in an hour be ready."
"Ok Tonks dear I'll keep an eye out."
"Ok see you soon." said Tonks Molly's face left the mirror and she put it back in her pocket and went and paid for the top and went back to the others.
"Wotcher where's Harry, Draco and Sirius gone?"
"Draco convinced Harry to go and get some contacts so he won't need his glasses, they won't be long." Remus said.
Harry, Draco and Sirius were just about to leave the opticians when Harry asked.
"Are you sure I don't look stupid I've never had these before I'm used to wearing the glasses?"
"Harry you look great honestly trust me lion." Draco said giving his hand a reassuring squeeze.
"Ok let's go, actually hang on I have an Idea Sirius let's go in here Harry you could put on one of your new out fit's." He said pointing to a café.
"Why?" Harry asked.
"It will be great the others won't recognise you, go on please."
"Ok come on quick but you'll have to tell me which one to wear."
"Ok no problem." Said Draco.
'You are going to look great at your party my lion.' he thought as they entered the bathroom while Sirius sat and had a coffee while he waited for them.
Half an hour later Harry and Draco left the bathroom Draco had also ran some gel through Harry's hair to make it look like it was styled in its own different way. As they came out everyone in the café gaped at them.
"What do I look stupid, you said I look hot why are they staring at me Draco?"
"You dolt, they're staring at you because you do look hot."
"Harry, Drake," Sirius beckoned them over." Harry you should let Draco dress you more often you really do look great."
They left the café to join the others.
"Harry wow, damn you look hot if you weren't taken I'd make a play for you myself." Tonks said.
"You really do look great Harry; your eyes really stand out now you haven't got your glasses on." Ginny gasped.
"Thanks both of you." He replied going red.
"Come on let's get back." Moody said.
They went down an alley near The Leaky Cauldron to summon the knight bus which dropped them off two streets away from Grimmauld Place. They walked back Mrs Weasley was watching for them and hurried every one in to the kitchen as they walked towards the steps to the front door. As they got through the door Tonks removed Draco's charm and Mrs Weasley welcomed them in and gasped with delight at Harry's new look.
"Harry dear you look wonderful, did you all have a nice time?"
"Yes we did thanks for asking Molly, I could do with some of your wonderful hot chocolate though." Harry replied.
"Come down to the kitchen then I'll make us all some shall I?"
"That would be great thank you." Harry said.
Mrs Weasley smiled and moved so that Harry led the way to the kitchen. The others grinned knowingly. Harry opened the kitchen door and froze.
"Surprise Happy Birthday Harry!" everyone cheered.
Everyone in The Order that Harry knew was there including Hagrid even professor Snape was there along with Mrs Malfoy. Harry was floored not knowing how to react.
"Wha- I "He turned to look at Draco and they others who were all beaming." You knew didn't you all of you knew?" He said smiling, as he received nods from each of them.
"Gotcha mate." Said Ron.
Harry turned to every one in the room and said.
"Thank you every one you're the best."
Not being able to think of anything else to say even if he could he doubted he could speak the words anyway he was speechless everyone in this room cared about him his eyes were sparkling with tears of joy. Professor Snape Grabbed two bottles of butter beer and escorted Mrs Malfoy over to where Harry and Draco were standing.
"Happy birthday Mister Potter, May I introduce you to Draco's mother?" He asked. Harry nodded a thank you.
"Narcissa Malfoy may present Harry Potter, Mister Potter this is Narcissa Malfoy." Harry bowed taking Mrs Malfoy's hand and kissed it.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Mrs Malfoy, Draco has told me much about you, I must say you look even more beautiful than I remember." He said.
"Why thank you, I must say it's lovely to finally meet the young man who loves my Draco he has told me many things about you, but he didn't tell me how charming you are, happy birthday and please call me Narcissa dear." She replied taking him in to a hug, Draco beamed at this he was relieved that his mother had accepted Harry.
Fred and George had started the music, they had managed to get a muggle CD player and some great music for them all to dance too they even had brought some of their own indoor fireworks for the occasion which exploded and shimmered in time to the music, they had set up the whole party in the kitchen which had been enlarged to the size of a small hall for the party balloons and steamers were every where and the kitchen table had been lengthened to allow space for the excellent buffet and drinks for the party.
Every one ate, drank and danced to the music Harry found he could dance with Draco without feeling awkward like he had done at the Yule ball with Parvatti in the fourth year, 'maybe it was the fact that I'm not comfortable with girls I'm definitely gay I'm here with my Dragon ' he thought.
"This is brilliant, I love it, this is the best birthday I ever had and I'm glad you're all here at my first party." Harry said to everyone.
"No problem, right time for presents I think. Harry you sit there we'll bring them over." Sirius said beaming, leading a blushing Harry to his seat. "Open this one first." It was his watch.
"Thank you Sirius, Remus." He said hugging them both.
Harry opened the gift and looked again adoringly at his gift; he turned it over and read the inscription which said.
To The Son of Prongs on your coming of age, Happy Birthday we are very proud of you. All our love, Padfoot and Moony.
As he read the inscription a tear ran down his cheek he thanked them both again and the three embraced. Dumbledore came forward holding a small mahogany chest decorated with a perfect portrait of Fawkes on the lid.
"Harry this is from The Order." He said handing the chest to him, Harry opened the chest and looked inside he immediately recognised what the gift was.
"Oh Merlin, this is wonderful thank you all it's beautiful." He gasped.
"What is it Harry?" asked Ron, but Dumbledore chose to answer.
"It is a pensive, each member of the order has added a memory that is special to them featuring either a memory of Lily and James or those who are new to the order have added their favourite memories of Harry." He said beaming.
"Thank you all it's wonderful."
"Here Harry open mine next." Draco said eagerly.
Draco handed Harry a small silver box tied with a red and green ribbon. Which Harry opened very quickly and gasped at the beauty of the precious gift.
"Wow Draco it's beautiful, thank you my dragon." Harry said throwing his arms around his boyfriend kissing him very passionately to which they received many whistles and cat calls from their friends.
"Get a room you two!" Ron yelled in a fit of laughter, making Harry and Draco giggle.
"Come on Harry show us what Draco got you." Ron called, to which Harry showed his friends what his dragon had got for him.
"Draco its beautiful where did you find it?" Hermione asked.
"I designed it Mione." At hearing this Harry pulled Draco in for another kiss.
Draco had designed a pendant for Harry; it was a yellow gold lion with emerald eyes with a white gold snake entwined around it with diamond eyes suspended on a two tone fine white and yellow gold rope chain. Harry handed the pendant and chain to Draco who fastened the chain around Harry's neck giving him a teasing kiss on the neck when he was done, as he pulled back Harry whispered seductively.
"I'll thank you properly later."
"I'll hold you to that." He replied just as seductively.
Ron and Hermione had bought Harry more books on defence against the dark arts to help with the lessons for the DA and Harry's own training. Molly, Arthur and Ginny gave Harry a wizard chess set knowing how much he loved the game but needed a lot of practise as he had still never beaten Ron when playing.
"Thank you, Draco can teach me how to beat Ron now." He said confidently.
"You wish Potter." Ron said with a grin.
Harry decided to take his gifts up to the bedroom before continuing with the party he didn't want any of his gifts to get broken as they danced.
"I'll give you a hand." Draco said wiggling his eyebrows with a grin.
They reached the bedroom quickly putting Harry's gifts on top of his trunk and turned to each other. Draco leapt at Harry kissing him passionately Harry returned the kiss with the same passion, telling each other of their need for more. Harry lightly brushed his tongue over Draco's lips and tongue. Tongues lashed against each other, both wanting so much more, each wanting to give themselves totally to the other. They broke their kiss with a need for air.
"Lock the door and put up a silencing charm, Harry I can't wait any more I love you, I want to make love to you." Harry obliged with the locking and silencing charm.
"I love you too my dragon, make me yours." Harry said as he began to kiss Draco again.
Draco guided Harry back to his bed; hands roamed and undressed each other as they went. Draco lay Harry on the bed and began to kiss him tenderly and lovingly as he prepared him to make love. Harry moaned with pleasure at each kiss and loving touch he received from Draco, they slowly rocked in rhythm with each other giving themselves completely to the other both moaning and gasping with pleasure reaching their climax together. After a brief rest to come down off their climax Harry said.
"Oh my god, that was perfect, I love you so much my dragon thank you."
"I love you too, lion make me yours." Draco replied.
To which Harry did exactly remembering every touch stroke and feeling that Draco had given him making sure that Draco felt as loved by Harry as Draco loved him giving him all he had. Neither of them noticing the golden glow that was surrounding them. Afterwards they cleaned themselves, dressed quickly and headed back down stairs still not noticing that they were glowing. The dancing was now back in full swing as they entered the magically enlarged kitchen everyone turned and stared at them except Dumbledore who chuckled knowingly with his eyes twinkling having felt the shift in magic while they were upstairs. Harry and Draco looked to each other and then back to their friends.
"Sorry we erm got distracted." Harry said blushing.
"Harry, why are you two glowing?" Hermione asked.
"We erm, I, we haven't done anything wrong." Harry said in a panic.
"Harry, Draco can I talk to you both for a moment, it might be a good idea if Sirius and Narcissa joined us. It's nothing to worry about actually its quite wonderful." Dumbledore said beaming.
They all followed Dumbledore nervously into the study.
"What is it sir, why are we glowing? We didn't do anything wrong I swear." Harry said nervously.
"Relax dear boy. May I ask have you just committed yourselves to each other? For want of a better word." He asked making Harry blush.
"If you mean have we just made love to one another then yes." Replied Draco.
"Why do you ask, what's wrong?" Sirius and Narcissa asked worriedly.
"Nothing is wrong, actually this is a truly wonderful development which will help us all I should think, the reason you are glowing is the fact that you have a rare bond, the 'Consetudo Infinitas Iugum' to be exact gentlemen congratulations you are now married as well as being soul mates." He said with glee.
"M-married really what do you mean sir how can we be married?" Harry asked.
"It means that you have given your selves to each other mind body and soul it is a very rare bond with many advantages but it means that you have joined together in a bond that would be more special and sacred than marriage. It also means that you will both become even more powerful than you already are also giving you both the ability to become healers and practice wandless magic along with other abilities, this is truly a day for celebration by the way don't worry about the glowing it will stop in a few hours it is your magic binding you to each other." He replied with a chuckle.
They went back to join the others at the party, Dumbledore explained briefly to the others about the bond between Harry and Draco.
"We shall discus this in more detail at a later date, let's continue with the celebrations may I propose a toast, Congratulations on your coming of age Harry, happy birthday."
With a swish of his wand Harry's birthday cake appeared, it was large and covered in milk chocolate with a large white chocolate stag sitting in the centre, with seventeen silver candles around the edge, Harry gasped in delight at the cake.
"Wow, thank you everyone this cake is amazing." Harry gasped in delight.
They all sang happy birthday to him.
"Make a wish Harry dear." Mrs Weasley said beaming.
"I don't need to I have everything here that I always wanted in this room, I know what I'll wish for." He wished for someday being a father with Draco though he had no idea how they would be able to but this was his wish all the same.
Dumbledore smiled knowingly, 'You'll get your wish Harry of that I'm certain.' He thought to himself.
Many of The Order members were now leaving to go home as it was getting in to the early hours of the morning. Molly, Arthur, Ginny and the twins had all headed on up to bed. Snape had taken Narcissa back to Snape Manor. Sirius had popped to the study for Harry's surprise leaving Remus, Harry, Draco, Ron and Hermione in the kitchen. When Sirius returned to the kitchen He was carrying a bottle of Fire whisky in one hand and an old book in the other.
"How about a quiet drink." He addressed the group, receiving nod's he began to pour everyone a drink. "I went out the day you were born and bought this, I planned for all of us marauders to celebrate your coming of age together, you four are now marauders with Remus and me now." He said quietly handing out the drinks.
"Let's see if we can push on through till dawn shall we." Remus chuckled trying to cheer Sirius back up they both missed James and Lily very much especially on Harry's birthday, at this the grin was back on Sirius' face.
With a 'cheers' they all knocked back their shots of Fire Whisky, Harry coughed after drinking his it was an older bottle so was a lot stronger than the one he'd drank at The Leaky Cauldron earlier. Trying to recover receiving no help from the others as they were laughing so much.
"You ok now Harry?" Sirius asked after calming his laughing enough to ask.
"Yeah, that was bloody strong Sirius." He said with a grin.
"So Sirius what's this book about?" asked Hermione.
"You really are a bookworm Mione." Said Ron.
"Oh hush, Sirius?"
"Ah now this is the real surprise from Remus and me that you will all love I'm sure of it. It's the book James and I used when we were becoming animagi." He said with a beaming grin.
"Really wow" said Hermione grabbing the book and starting to read it.
"It has all our notes in there, I think Albus wants you to become animagi any way he's hinted as much already and your all smart enough to do it, Imp sure Ginny would love to as well."
"Thanks Sirius, Remus, It's brilliant I was going to wait till we got back to school to research the idea but we can start on it tomorrow."
"Harry can I have a proper read of this." Hermione said wrestling the book off Harry again.
"Sure, you're the brains anyway take it because if you flap anymore you'll take off."
The book was put aside until morning; they continued to drink and were becoming quite drunk.
"Tell us some stories about what you and dad used to get up to." Harry asked Sirius and Remus.
"There's so many, but most of them involve a certain Slytherin we all know and love, I doubt that Draco would want to hear about what we did to his godfather."
"It's ok, I'm sure he won't mind, it was years ago right?" Draco asked.
"Ok but I didn't tell you." Sirius began "Remus do you remember when we turned the Slytherin's hair pink?" He asked trying to keep a straight face.
"Pink you turned Snape's hair pink, oh fuck I got to hear this." Ron said sniggering.
"I'll tell the story Padfoot, Sirius and James managed to convince the house elves to spike their juice so that when they drank it their hair would turn pink, it was the first morning of our seventh year. I must admit I should have stopped them being head boy but I couldn't bring myself to stop my two best friends from playing practical jokes on the Slytherin's I always turned a blind eye where James and Sirius were concerned."
At this Harry and the others were in bulk laughing, Ron laughed so much that his chair fell backwards and he fell back with his feet in the air making them all hysterical laughing.
"Ron…..are……you….ok……shhh…….were gunna…….get….in…trouble." Hermione said between laughing and gasping for breath.
They heard the slam of a door from upstairs; it was Mrs Weasley coming to see what all of the noise was about. Coming in to the kitchen and seeing the bottle of almost finished Fire Whisky and the fact that they were all laughing and totally drunk by now she went mad.
"Sirius Black! What the hell is going on? What the hell do you think your doing getting this lot steaming drunk?" she bellowed.
"B -but Muuuuum" Ron whined trying to use his big blue eyes which usually worked on her.
"But nothing Ronald, I want the four of you upstairs right now it's three in the morning now get to bed all of you." They did as they were told.
As they giggled and swayed up the stairs they could still hear Mrs Weasley in full swing bellowing at Sirius.
"Mione, you better stay in our room tonight, you can share with Ron if you want." Harry said.
The four pilled in to their room laughing, Ginny came in and convinced Hermione to go back to their room much to Ron's displeasure.
"Ok Ginny lead the way honey." Hermione slurred as Ron pouted.
Harry and Draco climbed in to bed together and snuggled.
"Hmm goodnight my dragon" Harry said kissing Draco goodnight.
"Goodnight my lion, I could get used to this, I love snugglies."
"Snugglies?" Ron asked giggling again.
"Oh shush, come ere and kiss me lion." Draco said.
"Can I have snugglies too?" Ron asked and they all bust out laughing again.
They heard Mrs Weasley shouting at Sirius and Remus for at least another hour before slamming the kitchen door and coming back up to bed falling asleep not long after.
The next morning Mrs Weasley came in to wake them, she looked down at Harry and Draco snuggled up together and thought.
'They really do look sweet together; this lot are going to be suffering when they wake up with the amount they drank last night.'
"Come on you three it's almost ten, time to get up." She said quietly enough to wake them but not to hurt their heads which would no doubt be pounding with a hangover.
"Ooooo god when did Buckbeak trample my head?" Ron groaned as he woke up.
"That's what happens when you drink Whisky in to the early hours of the morning, come on I'll give you a charm to get rid of your hangovers." She said, doing the same for Harry and Draco.
They showered and dressed for the day and headed downstairs to find Sirius and Dumbledore at the table waiting for them. It was obvious that he was here to discuss the bond for once Harry wasn't cursing fate for the hand he was dealt he was glad about the bond even if it made him even less of a normal wizard he was happy to be bonded to his dragon.
"Good morning sir, Sirius." They said as they sat at the table.
"Ah excellent good morning to you all I need to speak to you about your bond Harry, Draco, I assume you are well rested after yesterdays celebration." They nodded "Wonderful this bond as you know means that you are bonded mind, body and soul. Along with this your magic also has bonded I am unsure as to how powerful you will become but you will both need extra training so that you will be able to cope with the surge in your magical strength but doing so wandless. Harry this will be even more of a benefit to you as you are the one who will be defeating Tom. We will need to keep this as secret as possible so that no one will be able to inform Tom. Draco you will now be recognised as being of age because of the bond you will be of equal status to Harry being bonded or should I say married, anyway now you have this bond you will find that you may be able to use telepathy to speak to one another I shall teach you if you like or it may just happen anyway you will be able to detect if the other is in danger or happy you will pick up on many things your occlemencey will help you to block some of this out if it gets to be too much, also you will find your selves being even more protective over each other I fear for anyone who tries to meddle between you so you will need to be careful of how you deal with situations when school is started especially with the Slytherin's."
"Sir the Slytherin's who don't follow Voldemort listen to me for guidance, I already know some of who want to join you and Harry with reassurance I'm sure they will join us at the moment they are frightened to do so but if and when I can deem them trust worthy I will ask them if they want to join the DA class hopefully they will prove themselves enough that Harry would want them in the DA faction of the order some of them may even offer to take the mark so that they could spy for us."
"Really, some of them want to join us?" Harry asked.
"We're not all Death eaters you know." Draco chuckled.
"That's not funny Draco, seriously though some of them want to join us?"
"Well Blaise and Pansy don't have the mark but Crabbe and Goyle were saying that their fathers wanted them to take the mark which I can tell you they do not want to do, they're smart they just act dumb but they would join us I'm sure of it."
"If we can enlist their help it would benefit us greatly not only could they keep an eye on the other Slytherin's but also get information from Tom's ranks as well. We can make a start on that when school starts now I will need you to tell me when you begin to feel surges of your magical strength so that I can help you to control it. The last thing I have to mention you may not like I have to register your bond at the Ministry so that Draco will be able to use magic out side of school and learn how to apparate."
"What but but what if Vo-"Harry began.
"Harry it will only be Amelia Bones that will know of your bond She is currently in talks with Arthur to join The Order I will be at a meeting with her today so I can be sure of her support, she lost family to Tom in the last war Harry she is trustworthy I have every confidence that she can keep this covered up the only other person that may find out is Cornelius as he is the only person that she reports to so I am confident that our secret will be kept."
"Fudge will find out I know he will I don't trust him sir."
"Harry don't worry the only thing he craves is power for himself I don't think that he will join Tom besides he wont be in office much longer a lot of people no longer trust him."
"Good he's never done anything to try and stop Voldemort any way he has nearly undone everything that the order tried to do to rebuild the wizarding world to try and prevent him coming back in the first place he should be kicked out of office he's pathetic." Sirius Spat.
"You are right Sirius, but at least the ministry has to act now that wizards know he's back they know the truth and are now preparing to defend themselves, Draco I believe that you were told of a plan to take power over the muggle government?"
"Yes sir unfortunately he is planning to start with the muggle armed forces they are battling with each other at the moment and there are those that would follow him willingly they have weapons that would wipe each other out but some are so powerful that they could wipe out the world we need to stop him but this was a plan he wanted to put in motion after he destroys the order well he wants to destroy us I don't think for one second that he will."
"It won't get to that I'll stop him before he tries anything like that I promise you." Said Harry firmly
"I know you will Harry." Said Dumbledore he knew they were going to succeed.
"I will not fail even if I have to destroy myself to take him with me I swear I will not fail." Harry reassured them with pure determination.
"It will not come to that Harry mastering wandless defence is your main priority but there are ways that can totally destroy Tom I will be enlisting Miss Grainger's excellent skills in research to find our best options but you must prepare your self you may not like what you must do to Destroy him."
"If I have to Avada him then I will."
"That is not an option until all other possibilities have been researched but your courage is duly noted."
"It's not courage sir, I have to do this, I have no choice but I will do it because I owe it to those who have lost their lives and loved ones to this monster I will not stand by and let him destroy anyone else's lives-"Dumbledore watched Harry close to tears giving his reasons convincing himself that he had to one day soon take a life even if it was Voldemort's he had to do it he was their only hope he continued.
"I understand Harry I do, I know you will do what you must to protect those innocents and the ones you love you truly are a remarkable young man that never ceases to amaze me I know that we will win this, Alas I have to go now but I will be back tomorrow to start you wandless training and apparition lessons for you both spend today going through the theory in the books that I have left for you and be ready to begin after breakfast tomorrow."
With a nod he left so Harry and Draco could begin to look through the books that he had left for them. There were many books that were huge seeing them pilled up Draco thought.
'Something tells me that this all just got ten times more difficult.' chuckling to himself.
