Hi everyone, here is the next chapter to our Harry/Draco love story. I have a few more chapter before we get into the lovy dovy stuff because I have to explain where Draco had disappeared all these years.

WARNING: THIS IS SLASH…OR IT WILL BE IN LATER CHAPTERS…

I don't own Harry Potter and Co.

CHAPTER TWO- REACTIONS BACK HOME-

Severus Snape was deep in his dungeon's lab when an owl made his presence known. Leaving his precious potions he took the letter that the owl was carrying. He had recognized the owl as belonging to his godson Draco. He opened the letter and gasped at its contents.

Dear Uncle Severus

When you get this letter I will be long gone. I will be safe so please don't worry about me. I'm leaving to start a new life where I won't be held down by my last name. I won't be returning to Hogwarts in September. Please don't look for me because you won't find me. I have taken this chance at happiness. My only regret is leaving you. You are the only person that has ever shown me any affection. One day I may return for a visit but I cannot guarantee it. Please be safe and be careful when you're around old snake face. And please take care of mother.

With love

Your godson Draco Malfoy

Severus read the letter twice before making his way to the apparition point near the Hogwarts gates. He apparated at Malfoy Manor and started searching for his godson; he didn't find anyone and he also noticed that many things were missing from Draco's bedroom. The potion master made his way to the only fireplace connected to the floo. He threw some floo powder in and called out "Narcissa Malfoy, Exendor Manor, France". A few minutes later a blond head appeared in the fireplace.

"Hello, Severus, what do you want?" she asked.

"Narcissa, Draco has disappeared, he left me a letter, telling me he was leaving, and now I can't find him."

Narcissa paled and turned around to talk to someone. "Stand back Severus, I'm coming through." A few seconds later the flames turned green and out came Narcissa. She landed gracefully and asked to see the letter. The potion master handed it to her and waited while she read it. She seemed shocked at what she read.

"What does he mean that you're the only one to show him affection? He knows that I love him…doesn't he?" she said as she started crying.

Severus took the sobbing witch in his arms and helped her sit down. He knew that she had not showed her love to her son too much because of Lucius. He decided to change the subject.

"I've tried tracking charms and different others and I can't get any indication as to where he went. Maybe we should ask the house elves to see if they know anything."

"You're right Severus, let's call Linka, she's Draco's personal elf. Maybe she knows where her master is gone too."

"LINKA"

The house elf popped in the room. "Yes Mistress Malfoy, what can Linka do for Mistress Malfoy?" The house elf kept bowing as she talked.

"Linka, would you know where Master Draconis would have gone?"

"No Mistress, Linka only knows that many men came to see the young Master this morning, but Linka does not know who they were." The two wizards paled at the mention of someone entering the Manor to see Draco.

"Has any other house elves come in contact with these men?"

"Yes Mistress, Blinky saw the men. I is thinking that Blinky serves them tea."

"Thank you Linka, that will be all." After the house elf left Narcissa called the other elf.

"BLINKY"

Another elf popped in the room. "Yes Mistress Malfoy, what can Blinky do for Mistress?"

"Blinky, do you know who visited Master Draconis this morning?"

"Blinky does not know their names. I is never seen them before." Said the elf while twisting his hands nervously.

Severus who was standing behind Narcissa also started asking questions.

"Where did they meet with Master Draco?"

"In the east sitting room sir."

Severus and Narcissa looked at each other and made their way to the east sitting room. Once there Narcissa walked up to a mirror that was on the wall. With a short incantation they were able to see what went on in the room that morning. They watched as eleven men appeared in the room. The two wizards recognized then as being elves. All eleven had long blond hair. The oldest had a regal air about him. The others were obviously guards. A few minutes later Draco came into the room. He looked different from the last time they had both seen him. Actually they saw that he looked a lot like the older elf. They watched them talk and noticed that Draco seemed to be surprised at some of the things the elf said. At one point Draco ran his hand through his hair, a gesture he only did when he was really nervous. They got a glimpse of a pointed ear.

"Oh Merlin, Draco's is an elf." Said Severus who looked at Narcissa who had paled. "He must have gone with them to the elven realm. He turned sixteen today so he must have received his heritage powers."

"So are you saying that I might not see my son anymore?"

"I don't know Cissa; I'll ask Dumbledore if he knows anything about the elven realms. This is the first time that I've seen any. I've heard that they very rarely contact the human world. Maybe Albus knows how to contact them."

"Can you go now Severus and talk to him. Let me know what he says."

"Sure, don't worry if someone knows anything about this it would be Albus."

Severus turned around and left the Manor. He made his way to the headmaster's office. After saying the password he got on the revolving stairs and went up to the office. He knocked on the door and waited.

"Come in Severus."

(Damn I've got to find out how he does that.) Severus sat down and waited for the headmaster to offer his usual lemon drop.

"Lemon drop Severus?"

"No thank you Albus, I have a very pressing matter I need to speak to you about. This morning young Draco Malfoy disappeared from his home. The only thing he left behind was this letter." Severus handed the letter to the old wizard.

After reading the letter the headmaster looked up. "Do you have anymore clues?"

"Well, Narcissa did a Tempus scrying spell on a mirror in a room where Draco met with some elves. Not house elves but those that are said to live in hidden realms; ancient elves. Ten of those elves seemed to be guarding an older elf. After they talked for a while they disappeared in a flash of light."

Albus Dumbledore was puzzled. (Hum…What would ancient elves want with the Malfoy heir?) He thought.

"Do you think that Mrs. Malfoy would let me look at the mirror?"

"Probably, let me contact her to see."

Severus walked to the fireplace where he threw some floo powder. After he had talked to Narcissa for a few minutes he told the headmaster that Narcissa would open the floo so they could go to the Manor.

Narcissa greeted them and led them to the east sitting room. She replaced the spell on the mirror and let the headmaster watch the scene.

"It's too bad that we can't hear what they are saying. If my guess is correct I would say that the older elf is King Lirendel. I've heard of him. He is the leader of the main realm of elves. They say that there are five realms. All of them with their own Lords but the King rules them all. From the rumors it is said that he is a good and fair king. The elves are strong warriors and very talented healers. Apart from that I'm sorry to say that I don't have more information."

After thanking the headmaster Narcissa led him back to the fireplace so he could floo back to the school. Then she found Severus who was waiting for her. He had a pensive look on his face.

"What do we do now Severus? What does the elf king want with my son?"

"I don't know Cissa, I just don't know…"
