Chapter 7
Weeks passed and the beginning of the school year approached faster then Harry had thought possible. He found that his family was truly that a family. The insisted on spoiling both of the youngest males and Harry soon found himself swimming in the affection. He had everything he wanted and more.
It was August 30th and Harry found himself standing in front of an ornate looking mirror as he dressed for a going away to war (school) party. Yes Harry knew, that was what the world was going to end in. Lucius had spoken to him about becoming the leader as Dumblerdore and Voldemort and he had reluctantly agreed.
So now as he stood gazing into the mirror he found himself slipping into the rule. He wore simple black dress pants and a white poets' shirt. Over which he wore elegant tailored velvet robes. His silken ebony hair hung in a loose ponytail clasped with a silver clasp. Around his head he wore the circlet he had purchased a month before.
The sapphire gleamed in the candle light and seemed to shift in its setting. A brief hiss brought Harry out of his thoughts. He turned slightly and watched as Licentia(1) moved across his bed. He laughed softly before moving toward the bed. He picked up the slim black snack and smiled at it.
Tonight the air is different, dominus The Naja-haje(2) hissed as he curled around Harry's neck. Harry chuckled as he stroked the small snake.
Yessss, Licentia. There isss war in tttthe air Harry responded as he returned to the mirror.
War The question was hissed with clear curiosity behind it.
War. Between light, dark and the gray Harry replied in a wistful tone. He stroked the cobra's head and sighed.
"Conversing with that god forsaken snake again love?" Draco said as he entered the room.
"If you would be so kind as to not insult the gift I received from my sire I would be grateful." Was the terse reply.
Draco sighed and wrapped his arms around the slightly smaller wizard's waist. His outfit was a copy of Harry's right down to the silver hair clasp. He gazed it his love's eyes via his reflection and gave him a soft smile. He had learned that Harry seemed to love the snake in a sort of twisted way which only caused him to be jealous.
"I love you too Draco but Licentia is different. He was a gift." Harry answered Draco's unheard question. He turned back to face the blonde and smiled brightly. He gently placed the Naja-haje on his bed and took Draco by the arm. "We must be going love."
Draco sighed but nodded slowly, as he opened the door their cold indifferent masks fell into place. Draco linked arms with his mate and the walked slowly down the stairs. They stopped outside of a large double door and Harry placed a chaste kiss on the other's cheek.
"Now may I present my son Draconis Malfoy and his mate Harry Potter." Lucius's voice sound from the ballroom. The doors swung open and everyone stared in shock as the two vampires walked in. They stood with a regal air and the few vampires in the room (not related) placed a closed fist over their stilled hearts, for before their eyes stood the true leaders. "Harry…"
Harry nodded his head and lead Draco onto the magic podium that had been created. He stepped up to the muggle microphone and let his gaze fall on all present. Draco stood just behind him in a show of respect for his mate.
"Good evening. I am here to tell you that war is on horizon. I know many of you are part of the one of the armies, either the tainted light or dark. I come to you to give you a choice. The war as it is will destroy the world because both sides want power. But you can change that by being part of the Gray Army."
"And why should we believe you? You could be just like them." A tall dark haired man shouted. Many of the vampires glared at him.
"You are right of course. I have given you no reason to believe what I say." Harry paused for a moment before giving a sad sigh. "Ego capto non imperium autem la liertas vivo vixi victum.(3)"
"So if we were to win you would give up power." Once again the dark haired man asked.
"Yes Mister Rickforth I would." Harry answered with another soft sigh. The crowed seemed to think over his words and he leaned back slightly into his mate. He finally realized how tiring his job would be.
"Show us…. Show us the power that would lead us." Harry smiled slightly; he had been planning this since he had come back. It would give him the support and shock everyone. He turned to Draco and looked him in the eye.
"Draco, no matter how much pain I am in you can not help. I must do this on my own." Harry whispered in his ear. Draco looked at him suspiciously and was about to argue when he saw the power in his love's eyes. He nodded took a step back and felt Sirius place a hand on his shoulder. He turned back to the crowd and held up his hand for silence.
"I will show you my power." He closed his eyes took a deep breath and began to concentrate. In the middle of the room a large green ball of liquid light began form. It grew larger and Draco sudden tried to break from the other man's hold. His mate was in pain. He only felt a part of it but it was enough to make him want to scream. Harry couldn't breath, his head was floating, and he could see the darkness floating towards him.
Harry didn't let the energy go even as he felt the darkness closing in. He could hear the mummers of those in the room. Suddenly Harry could breath again, he took in a deep well deserved breath and opened his eyes. The sphere had grown to the size of large bear and all Harry could do was smile.
"Goddess I call to this realm to ask for your power." A soft giggle was heard and the bubble of liquid light burst. There before them where the bubble had been stood a young woman. She had light earth brown hair and eyes the same shade as Harry's. Here skin was sun kissed and she wore a simple red roman style dress. Harry dropped to his knees and the female giggled again.
"Bow not before me wielder of Veritas.(4) For it is I who owe you allegiance." Harry stood slowly still stunned from her words. "I bow before you young Harry and give you power over all the earth. Sadly that will not be enough to stop the powers that approach. Hold strong to your will and the power will come."
"Thank you mother goddess."
"Live well young wielder of Veritas and one day you will once more become part me." Her voice was soft like the earth as she vanished into the air. All was silent as Harry fell backwards. A pair of strong arms wrapped around him as he was lowered to the ground.
"I am tired Draco." Harry whispered as the darkness took him into its embrace. Harry awoke some time later in one of the studies. His head hurt and he suddenly wished he hadn't used so much of his energy to call the goddess to the human world. He sighed and pulled himself up. He walked towards his bedroom wondering lazily where his mate was.
Harry opened the door to his room and walked in. He found Licentia fast asleep on his floor by the fire. Just as he was about to lay down arms slipped around his wrist pulling him back against a strong chest. Draco laid his head on his mate's shoulder and just held the other for a little while.
