'Admit it Drac, you loved the flying!' Draco groaned quietly at Krad. He was sitting next to his father in their limo, heading slowly to Diagon Alley to fetch his school supplies.

'A month is not nearly enough time to get used to you.' Draco muttered to his alter ego. Krad sniffled and Draco's lips quirked. 'Now quit distracting me Krad, my father is looking at me funny.'

"Are you sure you're not ill son? You've been spaced out for…." Draco blinked. Lucius rolled his eyes but Draco could still se a hint of concern in their icy blue depths. "We can always stop by St. Mungos…."

"I'm fine father. Just a little tired."

'You little liar. You know you don't need sleep with me in here.' Draco sighed. That WAS true, seeing as his body and mind rested for most of the time when Krad was in control. He sighed again, and got another look from his father.

"We're there." Draco stepped out of the car after his father and the shopping spree began. Books were bought first, and included a wide variety of subjects. Then came the Potions ingredients, of which he got plenty for himself and for his godfathers birthday. The last shop of the day was clothing, and that's when his good mood was ruined.

"Well, what do we have here?" Draco stepped out onto the streets to see his father standing in front of Harry Potter. A very changed Harry Potter. "Shouldn't you be deep in hiding?"

'It's him…..Dark!' Harry whirled around, looking for a place to escape, and green eyes met silver. 'Ohhhh……let me out!' Krad growled.

'Not here!' Draco tried to shout. 'Krad, no!' Draco began to twist and turn, trying to keep Krad in. He saw his father step back a pace. 'You….can't….' And Draco gave up. He felt his body change and watched as Harry's body shifted as well.

"Stop this Krad, there are too many innocents!" Dark shouted. Krad was completely transformed and Draco watched in awe as Krad shot up into the sky. Dark was right behind him.

"It feels so good to be free!" Krad shouted. Draco snorted in slight amusement. Draco had given Krad nights to be free, just so this wouldn't happen!

"You're a coward, forcing your host to give up! I don't have to!" Dark shouted, making Draco frown. Krad was no coward! "You'll expend your power! Remember Satoshi!" Krad rushed at Dark, who spun away to avoid a collision.

"I don't give a damn!" Krad snarled, making Draco scowl. He took off towards town, swooping over frightened people. As more people feinted and more buildings burnt, Krad laughed.

"Krad!" Dark shouted. Krad, momentarily distracted by Draco who was shouting at him for not caring about him, almost didn't feel Dark slam him into a building. He lost control and Draco took over.

'I can't believe you.' Draco said once he was conscious and home. His father was sitting in the library, nursing a large brandy and wishing that his son was normal. Krad was ignoring him.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Lucius asked. Draco looked up. The only reason his father even knew about this, was because the ministry decided not to erase his memory of it. Lucius was Draco's father after all.

"I didn't think it was wise to." Draco responded.

"How long?"

"Since the beginning of summer." Lucius sighed. "If it's any help, he won't be back unless I say. He just can't stand Dark..err…Harry. Uhm, yeah, the guy inside Harry."

"Harry?" Draco winced.

"Potter."

'Falling for you enemies there Drac?' Krad suddenly spoke up.

'No, just thinking about my life and how much it will suck if I follow my fathers footsteps.' Krad snorted and Draco turned back to his father. Krad channeled some courage through their link and Draco smiled in thanks.

"Father? What would you say if I decided not to join the Dark Lord?" Lucius choked on his brandy at Draco's bold question, only a little upset at the subject change.

"I would ask you why. And why now, of all times." Lucius said once regaining his composure. "Give me a good reason, and I will support you. You're more important to me as my son, and heir, than as a slave to some half breed madman." Draco snickered.

"Potter will defeat him. It's better to be on his side when this all falls." Lucius nodded in acceptance and no more was said on the subject.

This version won't be as long, but the sequel to both fics will be, hopefully, longer than both put together.
