A/N: thanks for all of the reviews

Last Time on Utter Confusion

"So, I guess you want to know why I called you three here at about eleven o'clock on the first day of school. There is something I need to tell you."

Chapter Five:

"You have been keeping another secret from me, like always."

"Yes that is true and I am sorry, I am truly sorry."

"Well what is it?"

"You three, Harry, Pecola, and Charlotte, are triplets. James Potter was you father."

"What are you talking about?" shouted Charlotte and Pecola together, "The Kemps aren't our parents. Do they know that you are telling us this? Why would they keep something like that a secret? They could have at least told us that we were adopted."

"What about Lily?" said Harry, in a curiously calm voice, "Why did you only say James? And why is Snape still in here?"

"First to answer the girls questions, I told the Kemps that they could tell you two what they wished. I hadn't told them who your parents were. They decided that they would make you believe that you were their daughters and I had no control over that. They do know that I am telling you this. I told them I would in the letter inviting you to Hogwarts."

"Okay," said Pecola, "after this meeting we have to write a letter to them."

"Lily was not your mother, Harry. She would have raised you as her children but she was not your birth mother. To tell you the truth, James and Lily loved each other very much, but they weren't in love. Actually they were both going to be married to other people but I forced them apart. Lily was in love with and about to be married to Lucius Malfoy."

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!" shouted Draco, he couldn't seem to control his anger as much as Harry could.

"Yes Lily and Lucius were to be wed but I forced them apart. Lucius then had to go through with his arranged marriage to Narcissa."

"OH MY FUCKING GOD. YOU ARE THE MOST CONNIVING OLD MAN. NO WONDER MY FATHER FUCKING HATES YOU." Draco was red in the face. He was now standing in front of Dumbledore. He was about to faint when Harry caught him.

"Shit…shit…you know, Draco, you are kind of heavy." Draco just chuckled. He tried to stand up and fell back again. Harry had managed to sit back in his chair and pulled Draco with him. Draco was now leaning his head on Harry's chest. His breathing was very shallow. "Are you alright, Draco?"

"Yea, I'm fine. I just lost my breath."

"Draco, do you want to the Hospital Wing?"

"No, Sev, it's ok. I just need to stay here. You don't mind, Harry?" Draco asked staring into the endless green eyes. Eventually he just laid his head back.

"Professor, I think that it is getting late." said Severus, staring at Draco sitting on his son's lap. "We can continue this conversation in a later point in the month."

"But I want to know who my mother is!" said Harry trying not to disturb Draco who was now asleep on his chest.

"Another time, my boy."

"Don't 'my boy' me. If your not going to tell me anything then at least call me by name." Harry then stood up, holding Draco up to his chest, walked past Severus, and walked out of the door. He was walking towards Gryffindor Tower when he remembered that he was holding Draco. He then turned around and walked back towards the portrait with the snake around the lions neck.

"Slithering lion" he said barely audible but the portrait heard him anyway and he was grateful for that.

"Harry, what happened?" said an irate Ron. "You ran off with Malf-er Draco, I am going to have to get used to calling him that."

"It's okay, Weasley. You can call me Malfoy."

"Draco, your awake." shrieked three very high pitch voices.

"Yes and now turning deaf."

"Sorry" said the twins.

"It's okay" Harry set him on the couch and started stretching. When Draco fell asleep he suddenly became very light and Harry was concerned. He didn't know if Draco wanted to talk about it in front of their other friends.

"Draco, what's wrong with you?" said Hermione stated without even apologizing for almost deafening the poor boy.

"Its nothing"

"Didn't look like nothing, Draco" said Hermione

"I'll tell you when I'm ready." he said in between a yawn. Harry sat next to him on the couch. "For now I have to sleep." he leaned over and once his head touched Harry's lap he was out.

"Well that was informative." said Hermione sighing.

"Not really." said Ron looking confused. Harry, Hermione, Pecola, Charlotte, and Blaise burst out laughing. "What…Ohhhh, you were being sarcastic. I knew that."

"Okay, now that we got that settled, what do I do with him."

"Man, he's out. Once he's down for good, he's out till morning." said Blaise.

"So what should I do with him?"

"Pick him up and put him in his bed. I'll open the door since I doubt he would want you to know his password."

"Okay, thanks."

"No problem. I'll call when I got the door to stay open." Harry nodded and tried to ease Draco off of him, even though the little voice in the back of his head told him to stay where he was. When he tried to get up, Draco latched onto Harry's waist.

"This could be a problem."

"Green-eyed angel" said Blaise in barely a whisper to the portrait of a snake. "Now can you stay open for us. We have to carry up the head boy."

"Uhh, Blaise, we have a bit of a problem." Blaise came bounding from the room. "How do I get him off of me?"

"Damn." Blaise muttered under his breath. He knew of Draco's secret but didn't think that he should tell the others. "Maybe you could talk to him, Harry. He might respond."

"What do I say?"

"Just tell him who you are and what you are planning to do."

"Okay, Draco, it's me Harry." Draco moaned "I'm trying to carry you to your bedroom." grunt "I can't carry you if you are holding onto my waist." Draco loosened his grip but gripped one leg of Harry's pants. When Harry stood up Draco would not let go. Harry picked up Draco and he let go of Harry's pants. Harry walked into Draco's room. The rest of the people just sat on the sofa and chairs.

"Blaise, what's going on with Draco."

"I don't think that I should tell you guys. It's up to Draco, Ron."

"I guessing that Draco doesn't usually act all clingy to anyone." stated Pecola.

"You could say that."

Harry put Draco on the bed but Draco wouldn't let go of Harry's neck. Harry managed to take off his robes without Draco choking him. Then he took off Draco's robe and shoes. He climbed on the bed and Draco let go of his neck. Harry took off his and Draco's shirt, already facing the fact that the blonde boy wouldn't let him out of the bed. He had to take off his pants because they were becoming a bit too tight for his liking. He put Draco and himself under the covers and Draco snuggled up against him. It took a long while but Harry willed away his problem just as he dosed off, which was a few hours after Blaise, Pecola, Charlotte, Ron, and Hermione went to bed at about 2 AM.

-------

Draco woke up to the familiar smell of his mate but then he remembered that he and his mate weren't together yet. His memory of falling asleep on Harry came back and he guessed what had happened. His more special side, as he liked to call it, had taken over when his thinking side fell asleep.

"Harry…Harry wake up…please wake up." Draco shook Harry's shoulders softly. Harry had barely gotten any sleep when he was being pulled from it by a gentle shaking.

"Draco?" said Harry groggily.

"Yea, Harry I want to know what I did last night, after I fell asleep on you in the common room."

"You only clung on to me for dear life."

"Sorry" Draco mumbled "I didn't mean to. I guess now is the best time to tell you what is going on."

"Yeah, I think so."

"Okay, here goes nothing. The Malfoy family is a very special, very rare type of veela. The line is so rare because it is mostly veela, but part elf." Harry just started at Draco like he had another head. Since Harry wasn't saying anything Draco continued "Everyone in my family has a mate. My father has a mate but they do not live with each other. When my grandmother had found out that my dad had a mate she made him go through with the arranged marriage to Narcissa. Or at least that's what I thought. Father never told me who his mate was. He just said that she had died."

"Lily" Harry muttered to himself.

"I guess so."

"Well what does this have to do with me."

"You are my mate. When I fell asleep my veela side took over. Usually I can keep the urges to myself and I don't react on them. I have always hated fighting because it would feel like I am hurting myself when I hurt you because my veela side didn't want me to hurt you so it punished me."

"So that whenever you had punched me or threw a spell at me you had felt it too." Draco nodded. "Jeez, I'm sorry. That's not really fair."

"I know but it is veela law."

"Why did you faint?"

"I fainted because I didn't have my stabilizing potion, and I was near you. To top it off I was furious, and using my energy. The three factors made me feel really woozy."

"What's the stabilizing potion for?"

"It stabilizes the veela powers and makes them about the same strength. Otherwise I would have threw myself at you the first time I saw you. It lets me be in control of my actions. I didn't think that I would see you except for on the train when I make my visit. I didn't take my potion thinking that I would be alright. Then here you come and we become friends and that excited the veela. When we shook hands it was very hard not to pull you into me and kiss you right there on the spot. The longer we were together the more I had to fight the veela. When I got mad I had used up most of my energy. That's why I fainted."

"You know, when you punch me you seem very strong and then I picked you up and you were light as a feather. It just didn't make sense."

"Well, I'm only like that with you. To anyone else I would be lighter then average but would still weigh something. Its another little thing, the veela doesn't want to make the mate tired or have to have the burden of carrying me or anything like that. Also elf's are naturally lighter then humans."

"Oh, I guess that makes sense." Harry looked into Draco's endless silver eyes and couldn't say anything.

"Look, if you don't want to do anything with me besides be friends it's okay, I swear. It would be painful for me and the small bond, that you can't feel, will have to live off of small touches every once and a while." Harry still didn't know what to say. He wanted to say something because he wanted the blonde to know that he didn't have to go through the pain of not being with his mate. He didn't want Draco to go through the same thing that Lucius had to go through with Lily. But he didn't know how to say it. He didn't know how to tell Draco that he loved him with all of his heart. That he would go through anything with the blonde. So he did the only thing that came to mind. He kissed him. It wasn't a forced kiss, it just seemed right to him. It seemed right to both of them.

Draco knew that once they had gotten together or interacted as they were doing now would affect the bond. He knew that now if Harry rejected him, then they would both suffer. He could feel the bond strengthening yet he couldn't pull away. He didn't want Harry, his Harry, to suffer like he and his father did. When they finally pulled away for air he didn't know what to say. Neither did Harry apparently because they just sat there staring into each other's eyes, just getting lost.
