Ginny ran at Harry and wrapped her arms around him tightly and kissed him lovingly on the lips then pulling away.
"Thank Godric you did not get your self killed!" Ginny yelled at him. Although all Harry could think of doing was hugging her until Ron interrupted with a cough as he came forward holding Anne in his arms who was still crying her little eyes out. Harry took his daughter from Ron and started to rock her back and forth but unable to calm his little girl down.
Lily walked over and opened her arms, signaling for Harry to hand Anne over to her which Harry did with absolutely no hesitation at all.
Lily started to bounce Anne around and hum her a lullaby that seemed very familiar to Harry. Anne's wailing ceased and Lily along with Harry and Ginny smiled happily.
"Rose and you where the same way when you where younger." Lily said as she handed her sleepy granddaughter over to Ginny.
"Mum I'm sorry," stated Harry feeling a sudden earge to apologize for leaving her to save Anne.
"Oh hush Harry. You did what you had to. If that was you or Rose I would of done the same thing. So no apologies!" Lily said to her son.
Harry hugged Lily, thankful she was alive and well when Draco interrupted them with a cough.
"Sorry it's just that it's starting to get dark so we better get back to Hogwarts. As well as it looks as if it may snow." Draco said.
"Right-O" said Ron, hating that he was agreeing with none other then Draco Malfoy.
"Alright Ginny give Anne to my mum. Mum you'll ride on Ginny's back while Ron as Leo I want you to lead us. You have always had the best sense of direction. Mal- I mean Draco your with me." said Harry.
Every one nodded though Draco sis not seem to like the idea of riding on Harry. Ron transformed into Leo and waited for Ginny to do the same.
Lily slid onto her future daughter- in- law's back with Anne.
"Go ahead. I'll just be a moment." said Harry.
Ginny nodded but Ron did not seem to want to leave Harry alone with Draco until his sister growled at him. Both Lion and Ritza took off into the forest.
"What do you want Potter?" Draco asked.
"First off call me Harry, my friends do. Second I'd like to thank you Draco for saving my mum. And I'd like to offer to help you any way possible. If you need money please don't hesitate to ask, I have more then I'll ever need. I can also give you a place to stay or if your just in the market for a family I know Ginny would love to have you. If it wasn't for you my mum could be dead or even worse. So again Draoc anything I can do for you I'd be happy to. I know Anne and Jason would love to have another Uncle." finished Harry placing his right hand out to Draco.
Draco after staring at the hand as if it was a piece of poison finally grasped it with his own.
"A true friend?" croaked Draco who had never experienced the bond of a true friendship.
"Alright," he said a second later as he pulled himself together. "But don't think I'm gonna be Weasly and follow you to death and back. That's his gig not mine." Draco said causing Harry to laugh.
"Would not dream of it." replied Harry still laughing as he turned into a large black horse.
With some difficultly Draco hoisted himself onto Harry and then took off to Hogwarts.
They arrived at Hogwarts to find the grounds in a bit of a ruckus. Aruors and teachers running around.
Dumbledore was surrounded by a horribly worried James, Sirius and Zizi.
"JAMES!" Lily yelled, waving her free arm around frantically while the other arm held a sleeping Anne.
James looked up and at seeing his wife he shouted her name and ran towards her, the Blacks and even Dumbledore closely behind.
Ginny stopped as James started to get close giving Lily time to get off and hand Anne to her.
When James got to Lily he grabbed her in a hug that lifted her off the ground.
"I thought I was going to lose you again." James said as Lily caught him in a passionate kiss as Ron and Harry turned back.
"Mr. Weasely, Potter, Malfoy are you three alright?" asked Dumbledore.
"Fine sir." they responded.
"And your father?" asked the Headmaster to Draco.
"He got away sir." Harry responded for Draco as Ginny wrapped her spare arm in his.
Zizi and Sirius came over to the young couple, Draco and Ron.
"Hermione is in the head girls quarters with Jason and Chris." Zizi said.
Ron nodded and left with Ginny and Anne, leaving Harry and Draco.
The four stood in silence until Zizi hit Sirius with her elbow.
"Oh yes Malfoy, I mean Draco right. Um... Susan Bones has filled us in on your new...status and as your first cousin I'd like to offer you any help you may need." Sirius said.
"Thank you Proffesor Black. I guess you and Scarlet are no longer the only white sheep in the family." Draco said offering his hand in friendship that Sirius took with hesitation.
No one was quite ready to so willingly welcome back the heir of the Malfoy fortune.
"We're gonna head up." Harry said and then looking to Dumbledore he said.
"He'll be staying in Gryffindor tower to night." Draco and Harry both walking towards the warmth of the castle.
Neither teachers or Aruors believing their eyes except one. One teacher with greasy black hair and a large crooked nose, he wore a smile.
When Professor Snape had switched sides all he had was his wife, when he was found out as a spy he virtually had nothing but looking at Draco Malfoy a Slytherin death eater turned good and Harry Potter Gryffindor's golden boy he saw hope for himself. That maybe one day he'd have the life that he had not had since the death of his wife.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"Gryffindors are not going to want me there." said Draco as they made their way to Gryffindor tower.
"They will if I say so. And we both know you can't return to Slytherin, you'd be killed." replied Harry.
Though Draco hated to admit it he knew Harry was right.
Harry gave the password to the fat lady and they both walked in. The students on the other side at seeing Harry and Draco Malfoy together stopped dead silent.
"Oy Harry what's he doin here?" yelled a 5th year.
"Yeah!" another yelled.
"All of you calm the bloody hell down!" yelled Ron from the stairs just as Harry was about to respond.
"He's on our side and for now needs Gryffindor's protection like Scarlet. Any of you give him grief and you'll have to answer to Ginny." Ron said knowing that if you asked any Gryffindor who they feared most in their own house it would be his sister with out question.
"Thanks Ron. Every one Draco is on our side now. He has been for a while so until it is safe he will be staying among us." Harry said leaving no room for argument as he lead Draco into Ginny' and his quarters, Griff's room.
"Do you mind the couch?" Harry asked after closing the door and making his way to the closet pulling out pillows and blankets for Draco and tossing them over to him.
"No but where does Scarlet stay?" Draco asked.
"In the second year dorms with my sister. We had a bed moved up there for her." Harry replied.
Draco sighed and dropped the pilloe and blanket on the over sized red couch.
"How do you do it? How do you keep going on when you are so close to losing everything? How are you well you after all you've seen and been through. If I was you I'd leave me to them. The way I've treater you and your friends?" Draco said sadly, sounding so depressed.
"I fight because I never want my children or any other children to have to. I keep going because I don't want to loose the ones I love. If I did loose them u would still fight until Voldemort was dead if for no other reason but for revenge. I'm not the saint you belive me to be but neither am I the devil. As for why I'm trusting you, well every one deserves a second chance. Only the gods know how many I've had and your sister would kill me." Harry said as there was a sharp knock on his door, seconds later Neville appearing.
"Harry! Harry you need to come quick! It's Luna I think, well I'm not sure but I think she is having a vision or something!" yelled Neville.
In a flash Harry was up and followed Neville, Draco behind them. Arriving back in the common room Harry saw Luna sitting on a chair close to the stair case, her eyes closed and she seemed to be humming. Harry sat in front of her not noticing a crowd of people around them.
Finally Luna's eyes snapped opened and she began to speak in a low gruff voice.
"Time draws near where the end shall be decided.
Those that share the connection are meant to decide on the their fates.
One who loved one of the heirs' blood must defend her loves kin, the youngest of the five.
Two woman will defend their men, one of brains another of green.
One of the garden defends the moon,
While one of fire another of dark saves the ones the hero holds dear.
It is time for you to be tested,
time to see if all you have done has been enough.
Only the one that is marked can save the ones he loves,
The time draws near."
The crowd around them seemed confused though Harry's face seemed determined as Luna came back to them. Looking up at Harry she said,
"It will be at the end of May."
Harry nodded in thought, looking around the room he spotted Trey who unknown to Harry had been asked to stay by Hermione just in case, next to him Blaise.
"Call the heirs together. Ron bring Hermione and Ginny. Blaise I want you to come as well as Neville. Draco find Susan she must come as well." Oh and Ron tell Ginny to drop the kids with..."
"I'll watch them!" yelled Lavender.
"Alright then tell Ginny to leave the kids with Lavender. I'll be there in a few. Luna make sure every one knows what you said, if you remember." said Harry.
"I do. A gift from Ravenclaw." Luna replied.
Harry nodded and left to his room and going to the potions cabinet he pulled out a small vial of sleeping drought and took just enough to knock him out for a couple of minutes. After he finished he fell to the floor, asleep.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
"I guessed you wanted to talk to me."Harry said to Death.
"You've figured out the prophecy then?" she asked.
Harry nodded his head yes.
"Then let me tell you what you need to do. And how I will repay my debt if you defeat Voldemort. But I warn you that you can not tell any one Harry." she said
Harry nodded and listened as she began.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
As soon as Harry woke he was not sure about how he felt about what Death told him. But agreed with himself to put it out of mind. It would not do anything to dwell on it. He got up and left the room and made his way all the way to the room of requirements to tell his friends of what the meaning of the prophecy is.
