Chapter 2
Full Moon Magic
It had been 5 days since he had come into his inheritance. Harry was now laying in his bed in his new room at Hogwarts completely exhausted. He had just been through all the official rituals. He had met all the important people in the Elfin Kingdom. He was to go there after he had bonded with his mate, Draco Malfoy. He had yet to see the boy. Maletin, His advisor and general had told him that his mate already knew and would comply with everything. He was to arrive today. They would bond tomorrow and leave to the Elfin Kingdom to meet their people.
Harry didn't want today to end, because when it ended the bond day would come closer. Maletin had told him all about the bond. They were to bond BODY, MIND, and SOUL. The latter of these two where fine but the first was not. He had to have Sexual intercourse with Draco Malfoy. DRACO MALFOY. Calm down Harry told himself, using one of the meditation methods Maletin had taught him. Think about something else, Harry told himself.
Over the last five Harry had changed. From 5 ft 7 he became almost 6 ft and his eyes a brilliant emerald. He no longer needed glasses. He became leaner, but stronger. His movements much more graceful and he was much faster. As Dumbledore had said he would be beautiful and he was. He looked absolutely delicious. He also noticed that when he read he read faster, and understood things easily.
He sighed, sure that was all great but he would trade it all if he didn't need to bond with Draco Malfoy. Harry heard a knock on the door. "Come in," Harry said.
"Your Highness, Prince Draco has arrived and is now ready to take dinner along with the others. It is time you head down as well," Maletin said as he strode over the cupboard and took out some beautiful yet simple gowns out for Harry.
Harry rolled over and watched him. "Maletin, how many times do I tell you not to call me that?" He got up and walked over to Maletin taking the gown and slipping it on.
"Sorry Harry, it is a habit. I will try to call you Harry more often," Maletin said as he started to the door and Harry followed.
"Maletin I don't want to attend this dinner. I would much rather not see Malfoy until I am just about to bond with him," Harry said quietly.
"Sorry Harry, you must attend. You have to talk to Prince Draco. You must get over this silly enmity." Harry sighed. They finally reached the Great Hall. "Ready Harry?"
Harry smiled bitterly and nodded. They slowly entered and strode over to the small round table, that already contained the headmaster, Snape, McGonagall, Spourt, Hadgrid, two other professors and the dreaded Draco Malfoy. He could either take the seat beside Dumbledore or Draco. Which one? But before he could chose Maletin took a seat next to Dumbledore. Harry took a deep breath before taking his seat.
"Good Evening Harry," Dumbledore said before he began to talk to Maletin. Harry nodded in greeting and began eating in silence. He joined the quiet that is until Malfoy opened his pretty pink lips.
"Hello Potter, I bet you're enjoying all this attention," Draco said bitterly. Harry held his tongue.
"No I am not enjoying all this attention if you really want to know. I would rather not have all this."
"Really you don't want to have a whole Kingdom for yourself and a long lasting life? Hmm I was sure that you just be soaking up everything. After all you always did enjoy being the Boy who lived," Draco laughed.
"Shut it Malfoy," Harry said harshly. "I wouldn't want any of that if it meant I had to bond and live with you. What's a kingdom and a thousand years if I have to spend everyday with you?" With that said Harry got up and elegantly made his way to the door. He stopped not even turning around still facing the door he said to the elf that had gotten up to go after his prince, "Maletin, no need to follow."
"Draco what was that about?" Serverus asked. Although Snape hated to admit it he knew that this time it had been the Slytherin's fault.
"Nothing Uncle. I only asked him if he enjoyed being a Prince and he snapped at me," Draco said faking innocence. Snape shook his head.
"Prince Draco if I may suggest that maybe you should the past behind and start over new. Maybe start now?" Maletin said.
"Maybe," Draco said getting up to go to the room he was staying in before he was to bond and move in with Harry. "But maybe I already did but I'm not ready for Harry to know," Draco said to himself, as he walked down the hallways.
It had been a weird summer to say the very least. Draco had found out everything from his father three weeks ago. Yes his father. You see his father had no choice but to become a spy for Dumbledore, after the Elves had approached him and told him about his son. He was told that he would have to be Harry Potter's mate. It made him furious. He was gay and he was fine with that but he had not wanted to bottom for Harry Potter. He already gave away so much to him he did not want to give up that as well; and defiantly not to him.
But he did have to admit that Harry was a looker. He looked amazing today. Draco had been short of breath when he had seen him. His vibrant emerald eyes and pitch black messy hair. He was incredibly good looking, but that didn't mean that he had to like him.
Draco sighed he knew that he would have to bond with him no matter what. He walked over to the window and looked at the beautiful full moon. A tear fell down his cheek and he remembered his mother that had died the last year. The full moon always reminded him of her. She had always said that the full moon constantly made things more magical. "Mum if you can hear me, please help me. I ask you to give me the heart that was taken away from me. I ask you to give me the strength to love Harry Potter," Draco said and shut his eyes tight willing all the tears to stop. In his attempt he missed the shooting star that flew across the sky.
Harry sighed as he threw another rock into the lake. It was a beautiful night out. It was a full moon out and everything just looked more magical. Harry leaned against the tree trunk and looked up into the sky.
"Dad, mum, if you're listening please answer my prayers. I need you right now. God I really need you. I can't do this. I don't have what they need. They expect so much from me and I just can't give it to them. I just don't have it. But I know that I have too and my prayer isn't for me to not have all these expectations but my prayer is that… well mum, dad I want to be able to love. I want to be able to love my mate, my one and only. Please give me the heart to love Draco Malfoy." Harry said and he closed his eyes shut just in time to miss the shooting star that flew across the sky.
