CHAPTER ELEVEN-THE FIRST DATE
The next night Harry used his invisibility cloak to make his way to Draco's room. He used his magic to see if Draco's guards were sleeping. He felt three of the four people in the room were indeed asleep; he felt that the most powerful one was the one awake. Harry said the password and entered the room. He soon found himself with a sword pointed at his neck. He took off his cloak and laughed at the surprised look of the elf prince.
"How did you know that I had entered your quarters Draco?"
"I felt a shift in the air. And I could feel your magic and the cloak's magic. I was well trained to fight any kind of enemy; invisible or not."
Harry gave Draco a sexy smirk and walked up to Draco to whisper in his ear. "So I guess no one could surprise you in the dark." Draco shivered as he felt Harry's hot breath on his neck and ear. Draco felt his blood go down and pool in another part of his anatomy. No one had ever made him feel this way before.
Harry drew back and asked Draco if he was ready to leave.
"Yes, let me just get my cloak and we can leave."
Draco came back from his bedroom wearing a black hooded cloak that would hide his face and very noticeable hair. He followed Harry as they made their way to a secret passage that brought them to Honeydukes. Draco raised an eyebrow at Harry when he saw where they had come out of the tunnel. Harry just smiled and grabbed Draco's hand to lead him outside. From there he took Draco in his arms and apparated them to his London flat.
When Harry released Draco he noticed that the blond was blushing. Harry thought that he was cute. (Cute…Oh Merlin…he's more than cute. He's bloody gorgeous.)
"Would you like a drink before we leave for the restaurant? We have reservations for an hour from now."
"All right, what do you have." Said Draco has he took of his cloak and robe. He was now wearing tight black dress pants and a dark blue shirt. He had left a few buttons opened on top revealing a silver chain with a dragon pendant. Harry noticed this and got closer to get a good look.
"Draco, your grandfather told me that your animagus for was that of a dragon."
"Yes, I'm an ice dragon. The elves didn't know what an animagus was before I transformed in front of them. Let's just say that they were quite shocked that a half human would have such power." Draco chuckled as he thought back at his fight at the Fountain.
"Yes I would imagine that it would surprise some people. I didn't think that there was another magical animagus out there. I was pleasantly surprised when I heard that from your grandfather."
Draco looked at Harry and asked. "What do you mean with another magical animagus? Is there one other than me?"
The only answer that Harry gave Draco was to stand back and transform into his phoenix form. Draco's eyes went wide with surprise and he felt like he had to sit down. (Oh…oh my… so he's the phoenix the old elf was rambling about after her vision.)
Harry transformed and sat next to Draco who had a strange pensive look on his face.
"What's wrong Draco?"
Draco turned around and looked at Harry for a few minutes trying to decide if he should tell Harry what the seer had told him a year ago.
"Harry, do you believe in seer visions?"
Harry grimaced and looked up to the ceiling. "Yes I do, one of them told of a prophecy about me being the one to be able to destroy Voldemort. And when I became the leader of the order; the phoenix's voice told me that with the help of the dragon that I would be able to defeat him." Harry took Draco's hand in his. "I think that you're the dragon that she was talking about." Then Harry looked back up at Draco and frowned. "Did someone have a vision about us in your world?"
"Yes, in the elven world there is a seer who has been able to foretell some events that have happened in the elven world. What got our attention this time was that the vision she had was a bout a human. Not any human but a man who was also a phoenix and then she saw a white dragon standing next to the phoenix. She said that the two were lovers and that if they didn't find each other that both the human and elven worlds would be lost."
"So you think that she's was talking about us."
"No Harry, I don't think, I know that she was talking about us. It's obvious; we've always felt this pull to each other, even when we were younger. And now we are both attracted to each other. I think that our relationship was foreseen in both our worlds. I don't know about you be even without the vision I would still want to date you. You're damn sexy did you know that?" Draco smirked at Harry when the raven haired wizard blushed.
"I think you're damn sexy too. Now I think we should make our way to the restaurant so we don't loose our reservations." Harry stood up and held his hand out to help Draco get up. Draco took that hand and felt the warmth electric feeling going up his arm. One look at Harry told him that he had felt it too.
The two men walked out of Harry's flat and into muggle London. After a fifteen minute walk they arrived at a little Italian restaurant.
"I hope you like Italian Draco."
"I do, I haven't eaten it in over two years. I've been craving some chicken parmesan. Do you know if it's good here?"
"Yes it is, it's also one of my favorites." Harry stopped talking when he came up to the front desk. "Party of two for Potter."
The hostess bid them to follow her, she showed them to a small table towards the back of the restaurant where they would be able to eat in a private and cozy atmosphere. Thanking the woman Harry pulled up a chair so that Draco could sit down the he sat down grabbed a menu.
After a few minutes of reading the menu they had made their selections and given out their orders. When the waiter left Harry took Draco's hand and caressed the top with his thumb. That simple movement sent shivers down Draco's spine. Draco smiled shyly at Harry; he had never gone so far in a relationship and now was at a lost as what to do.
"You know Harry, I've never had a relationship with anyone before. When I was young Lucius made sure that the other kids kept away from me. That's why Crabbe and Goyle kept following me, they were under strict order to make sure that no one approached me. I'm also sure that Pansy was in on it too. She kept on making everyone think that she was my girlfriend. Then when I got out of under my father's rule I was brought to the elven realm and for two strait years I have trained like crazy to be able to graduate the same time as my three friends. I also studied to become a healer at the same time. I was able to finish four of the six levels in healing. I can practice healing since I'm a level four but my goal is to be a level six which is the highest level that can be attained. Being a healer is my dream, being a warrior is my duty to my people." Draco noticed that he was rambling on about his life so he stopped and blushed.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to carry on like that."
"It's ok Draco, I love hearing about your life. I see that you're quite happy in the elven world."
"I am…but I'm also glad to be back here and have found you. I don't know what my grandfather will say but we shouldn't hide this from him. He's been there for me and I don't want to hurt him by keeping secrets."
"Then let's not keep this secret. Contact him and ask him if it's possible for him to come here or for us to got there to see him. Tell him it's quite important I'm sure he'll agree to a meeting."
"All right I'll do that first thing tomorrow." Draco leaned in and gave Harry a kiss. Harry took the chance to deepen the kiss. When they separated both were breathing hard.
"Wow…" Whispered Draco, his eyes were full of lust. Harry's breath caught in his throat when he saw the blonde's silver eyes. Harry couldn't look away and got lost in those silver pools. Still holding hands they jumped in surprise when the waiter appeared at their table with their food. They ate in silence just enjoying each others company. Little did they know that at the castle the elf king and headmaster were now searching for the both of them.
8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8
A few hours after Harry and Draco had left the castle a golden glow had appeared on the front lawn of the castle. Lord Aldron appeared from the light and made his way towards the front doors. The castle who knew who he was opened her doors and let the headmaster know that someone had arrived. The old wizard met the elf at the entrance of the great hall.
"Lord Aldron, welcome, what brings me the pleasure of your company?"
"I have come to ask if it's possible for Lord Nigel's fiancé to come and spend a few days in the human realm. They have much to discuss in the preparations of their nuptials."
Then finally noticing that it was quite late he looked at the professor.
"I apologize for the late hour, in our realm it is actually morning."
"Don't worry about it; I'm not much of a sleeper. Would you like me to show you to your sons and the prince's quarters? I can ask the castle to add a room next to theirs and the prince's."
"If you would, then I would appreciate it. I will talk with young Lord Nigel tomorrow morning and make arrangements with him, and I will be able to check on the prince and relieve the king's worries about having his grandson back in the human world. He is worried that the emotional side of the prince returning to his home world would be too much for him."
"Young prince Draconis seemed to be ok at diner. He has talked with his godfather and his mother and he seemed quite happy to see them. He and Harry Potter were getting along splendidly and I think the prince was happy to see his old school."
"Did the prince get along with Mr. Potter as a friend; from what I had heard they had been quite the rivals in school?"
"I think that both boys seemed to be attracted to each other actually, if I can tell by the looks they were giving each other."
"Mmm…I think the king will need to talk to prince Draconis. Our seer Riva had foreseen that the prince's mate was a man who was also had the heart of a phoenix. We've search in the elven realm and couldn't find him so we think that he might be here in the human world. We don't want the prince to get attached to anyone only to have to break it up when we discover the one he was intended for."
Albus seemed to be thinking about what the elven Lord was saying. He had a feeling that Draco and Harry were meant for each other. He kept quiet because Harry's secrets were not his to tell.
When the two men came into the prince's quarters they noticed that Draco's bedroom door was opened and that no one was sleeping in the bed.
"Where could the prince have gone?" Lord Aldron went and knocked on the other doors to wake the guards up.
When the three sleepy men stood in front of the elf they looked up questionably at him.
"Didn't one of you stay up to guard the prince?"
"No, the prince ordered us to all go to sleep. He said we would have a busy day tomorrow and that he would be safe in the castle."
"Well, the prince has disappeared, he is not in his room. Do you have any idea where he might be?"
Nigel shook his head and spoke up. "No, but maybe that Harry would. The two of them have been whispering to each other a lot the last two days. Maybe Harry took Draco out to a tour of the castle?"
"Harry doesn't need to give a tour of the castle to the prince as he too came to school here and would know the place like the back of his hand." The headmaster called for Fawkes. When the phoenix appeared he asked him to go and give a message to Harry to meet them in the elf prince's quarters.
A few seconds later the phoenix came back and started singing something to Albus. The headmaster turned around to talk to the elves. "It would seem that Harry isn't in his quarters either. Something tells me that the two young men have used this opportunity to skip out of the castle for the evening. I think we should use a locator spell to find them."
Lord Aldron nodded his head in agreement and waved his hand making a small golden globe appear in front of him. The image of king Lirendel appeared in front of him.
"What can I do for your Lord Aldron."
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that prince Draconis has gone out by himself with only the company of Harry Potter to guard him. I think that maybe you should be here to talk to him we find him so that you can make him understand that it is not acceptable to just leave without telling anybody."
The king let out a sigh. "All right I'll be right there. Leave the communication spell open and I'll be able to open a portal right next to you."
"Yes your Majesty."
Not even a minute later the elf king and three guards appeared in the room. The guards quickly hid in the shadows and left the king to speak the others.
The two elves watched as the headmaster started chanting something. Soon a glowing map appeared in front of him and after checking a few things out he turned around and declared that the two young men were somewhere in London.
Lord Aldron took one look at the map and waved his hand; the three of them started glowing and soon appeared in an alley next to some apartment buildings.
8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8
After the restaurant, Harry took Draco dancing in a muggle nightclub. They took the time to stop in an alley and transfigure their clothes to something more suited for dancing. Both Harry and Draco were wearing tight black leather pants. Harry had on a green silk shirt that left nothing to the imagination as to how fit he was. Draco's shirt was also made of silk but it was a light blue, making his eyes stand out. It was obviously a club where same sex couples could enjoy themselves. Harry danced with Draco holding him tight. Both men could feel the pull of their magic drawing them closer together. Both knew that it wouldn't take long before they took their relationship to the next level; and somehow the thought of them being together seemed so right.
After a few hours of dancing Harry brought Draco back to his flat. They made their way to Harry's bedroom leaving a trail of clothes behind them. Between kisses and caresses, the two stumbled on to the bed. Suddenly while in the middle of a heated kiss, Harry drew his head back to look at Draco. He had never seen the blond look so wickedly beautiful. Draco's eyes where shinning with lust and his cheeks where tinted pink, his full lips where swollen from their kissing.
"Are you sure about this Draco?"
"Yes, Harry, now shut up and kiss me." Harry was only too happy to comply. Both men took each other to new heights of pleasure. A few hours later they were sleeping in each other's arms sated and happy. They didn't hear someone open the door with a spell. Harry's wards protected them from someone who wanted to harm them but not from the headmaster and Draco's grandfather.
The three men were looking around the sitting room of the apartment when the king noticed some clothing on the floor. He picked up a piece of clothe and recognized one of the shirts he had seen on Draco before. Then looking around he noticed another shirt and some pants all making a trail to a closed door that he had a feeling lead to a bedroom. Turning around he gesture to the other two men to follow him. Lord Aldron was wondering what the king had seen when he noticed that his king was holding a shirt in his hand. Lord Aldron paled and followed his king nervously. Professor Dumbledore was shaking his head wondering what kind of trouble Harry had gotten himself into this time.
The king opened the bedroom door and watched the two sleeping figures for a moment. He saw how relaxed his grandson was lying in his lover's arms. He saw how protective the dark haired wizard seemed even in sleep. Harry was holding Draco in his arms closely. The king also noticed just how they seemed to match quite nicely. Harry's dark looks were evened out by Draco's light ones. The king looked back at Lord Aldron and Albus and watched as their eyes went wide when they saw the two young men in bed.
The king turned around and cleared his throat, knowing that the noise would be enough to wake his grandson. A few seconds later Draco opened his eyes and tried sitting up in bed only to find himself held down by two strong arms.
"Harry wake up, there someone here." Then turning towards the door, Draco saw his grandfather looking at him. "Shit…Harry wake up NOW."
"What…what's wrong Draco?" Harry sleepy voice was heard.
"We have company." Draco pointed towards the door. Harry's eyes went wide when he saw the king standing in his bedroom. (Oh shit) he thought.
The king stood up strait and glared at the two young men. "You have two minutes to get dressed and in the sitting room."
Once the three men had left the room they quickly accioed their clothes and got dressed. Then they nervously made their way to the sitting room where the king was pacing impatiently.
"Grandfather, what brings you here?" Draco cringed when he saw his grandfather glare at the both of them.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS DRACONIS. WHAT EVER MADE YOU LEAVE THE SAFETY OF THE CASTLE TO GO OUT. DON'T YOU THINK THAT YOUR SAFETY IS IMPORTANT. YOU ARE THE PRINCE OF THE ELVEN REALM AND I EXPECT YOU TO ACT LIKE IT WHEN YOU REPRESENT OUR PEOPLE IN YOUR MISSIONS AND SLEEPING AROUND ISN'T GOING TO HELP YOU FIND YOUR MATE." Then turning towards Harry the king gave him one of his hardest glares.
"Mr. Potter from now on you will only speak with my grandson when you are discussing order business. You two will not sneak out like this anymore. Draconis you know that you have to marry the one your intended for. You cannot keep a relationship with a simple human ,powerful or not."
Harry glared back at the king and stood up strait. The king seemed to notice his attitude and looked back at him.
"King Lirendel, I know that the elves don't think much of us humans and you probably have your reasons for that. But I will not accept to be judged by someone who doesn't even know me or who I really am."
Draco stood next to Harry gapping at his grandfather for having been so rude.
"Grandfather, I know what my duties are and I know who I'm supposed to marry. Have you thought that maybe Harry is my intended."
The king stood back and looked at his grandson who was holding Harry's hand.
Harry stepped up and took a deep breath and decided to take the bull by the horns. He said an incantation releasing his ring from the glamour protecting it and snapped his finger to find himself dressed in red and gold battle robes. A circlet of gold with rubies had appeared on his head. He got down on one knee in front of the king.
"I Prince Harry James Potter Gryffindor." He heard a gasp at his titled but continued on. "Formally request permission to court Prince Draconis of the elves." Harry then stood up and looked at the king.
"I am also known as the phoenix, and yes Draco did tell me of the vision your seer had. It was almost identical then what the phoenix's voice told me when I became leader of the order." Harry gave a few seconds for the king to digest this new information.
The king looked at Harry for a few minutes then he looked at the hopeful eyes of his grandson. Seeing the happiness in his face when he looked at Harry was enough to make his decision.
"Prince Harry James Potter Gryffindor, I give you my blessing to start your courtship of my great-grandson and heir Prince Draconis."
Harry gave the elf king a smile and turned around to hug Draco who was still in shock over the whole thing. Then he looked at Harry and returned the smile and the hug.
The headmaster was looking at the two young men with a twinkle in his eyes. "Now I think that we should all return to Hogwarts for the night. We will all be busy tomorrow preparing for the coming of the elven soldiers." The five men apparated to the gates of the school and made their way back indoors.
Once inside the headmaster bid everyone goodnight and left. Harry walked the others to their quarters. Harry leaned and kissed Draco good night. Since they had their eyes closed they didn't see the red glow that surrounded them but the king and Lord Aldron did. They knew that together the two would be quite powerful. Together they would defeat Voldemort.
