The Love of a Veela
Harry was a bit uncertain when he was around Ron and Hermione. He didn't talk to them much during breakfast and he left the Great Hall alone and stepped into the corridors and he walked a down it and then felt someone grab him and pull him into an empty classroom. He stared into his boyfriends eyes.
"Harry I know its hard for you it's hard for me too. But it was right to tell them the truth even if your only intention was to tell Granger and not Weasley", he said. Harry stared at him, "I know that you're still getting used to the fact that you're with me but we'll all be there for you. Weasley, Granger, the girl Weasley, Longbottom and I plus most of the school will be there for you. It's hard to believe but it's true. I would never have taken the mark and you can trust me" he said.
Harry wasn't sure what to do he just stood there and stared into the eye's of his lover. He sighed softly before putting his head onto the Slytherins chest and crying. Draco stroked his hair softly then they heard some one come into the room and broke apart. "Well, well, well", sneered Pansy, "Potty's crying and Draco too. Well this is a sweet moment", Harry had just saw Malfoy wipe tears away from his eyes.
"Get lost Pans. It's none of your business. Why aren't you going to class or in the common room?" he snarled.
"You have to come with me. Your father needs to speak with you", Pansy said. But in code that meant that they were about to receive new orders from the Dark Lord and he had to come right away.
"Cya Potter", Malfoy sneered at him leaving him in the empty classroom. Both Pansy and Harry knew it was an act but they had to play along. However, Pansy didn't know that Harry knew about the plan and Harry had to act dumb. He hurried out of the classroom and through a secret passageway to the Gryffindor common room. He grabbed his cloak and hurried back out and through another passageway that lead to the dungeons. He threw the cloak over himself and came to a halt in front of the portrait that lead to the Slytherin common room and waited for someone to come.
He only had to wait five minutes until Harry saw Crabbe and Goyle coming and entered the common room after them. He looked around the common room and saw most of the Slytherins gathered around the fireplace and then a voice spoke.
"As Death Eaters and the Children of Death Eaters it s my duty as the Dark Lord's right hand man to inform you that we are planning to attack in exactly two days. We will assemble at the Shrieking Shack and wait until Draco has brought Harry there and then we'll attack", Harry recognized the voice of Lucius Malfoy only too well. "As Dumbledore assembles the Order together and brings everyone back into Hogwarts most of the teachers will be in Hogsmeade fighting us off. You will then attack from within and they won't know what it them. Well that's happening Dumbledore's Golden Boy will be with Draco and you my boy will help him into the sweet shop and then go through the secret passageway there. Pansy will be waiting for you there and you will both of the glory of killing Harry Potter. The Dark Lord will be thrilled with you efforts and then reward you greatly for killing the boy who lived", the words from the fire place was applauded and Draco looked distraught at the words his father said.
Draco knew that he would have to see Dumbledore later tonight when the rest of the Slytherins went to bed. He would just have to play along with the plans for now.
"Now children", Lucius spoke again, "you must go to your classes. Draco I need to speak with you about these plans" he said and the other Slytherins except Pansy left.
"Sir, I would like to say what an honour it is to be one of the two that have been chosen to kill Harry Potter. I will assure you that Draco and I will do the job", she said.
The fire glared at her, "Very well Parkinson. Now if you don't mind I would like to speak to my son alone" he snarled and she drifted out of the common room without hesitation.
"Draco, son, promise me that you wont stuff up this time. You know what happened last time you stuffed up. Your dear Godfather was almost murdered and had to pay for your actions as well as his" Draco nodded at his father.
"Yes father. I will do my best" he said.
"Good. Unfortunately I must also warn you that Potter may play one of his tricks and use that Weasley to cover for him. So I'm waring you now", he nodded again, "now I must go my boy. Get some sleep you have a big job ahead of you" he said and with a pop he disappeared.
Draco fell onto one of the coaches exhausted from standing up for so long. Forgetting where he was Harry spoke, "Draco", he began. Draco looked up not seeing anyone.
"Hey, who's there", he said pulling his wand out.
"Who ever it is show yourself" he said.
Harry slowly lifted the cloak off himself and looked at Malfoy. Malfoy looked amazed.
"Harry? What are you doing here? How did you get in? Do you know how much danger you put yourself in?" he shrieked but only so it was just them could hear his shrieks.
"I was worried about you. When Crabbe and Goyle came in I followed under my cloak. I didn't realise most of Slytherin house were with the dark lord", he said. Malfoy looked at Harry and sighed. He walked over to him and brought him into a hug.
"Let's forget it for now. We have to tell Dumbledore" and with that they left the common room, with Harry under the invisibility cloak and went straight to Dumbledore's office.
They whispered what they hoped was the password and the gargoyles moved once again revealing the steps up to Dumbledore's office. They stepped onto them panting and arrived at the close door of Dumbledore's office. Harry pushed the door open forcefully and threw the cloak of them and Dumbledore looked up from his desk.
"Mr Malfoy, Mr Potter. What a pleasure it is to have you both in my office once again after hours. This is starting to become a habit of your's Mr Malfoy" he smiling.
"No time for chitchat professor. Voldermort, attack, Hogsmeade" was all that came out of Harry's mouth that could be understood.
"Now start again Harry, start from the beginning", so Harry started from how he told Hermione their relationship to when Lucius spoke to Malfoy.
Dumbledore looked amazed at how well Harry was taking the news and then Harry said that he knew what Dumbledore's plan was about Draco and then Dumbledore understood.
"Fawkes, send word to the order alert them of what's happening and tell them we'll be there in an hour" Dumbledore said turning to the bird.
He then looked back at the boys that were in front of him. He surveyed them for a minute and then turned to Harry.
"Harry, do you remember me telling you what had saved you from Voldermort", Dumbledore asked.
Harry nodded, "Yes sir, my mother's love".
"Correct. But not entirely true. Now sit down boys I have something that you both will need to know to understand what we need to do", Dumbledore clicked his fingers and Dobby the house elf appeared.
He looked at the two boys and then up at Dumbledore and then Dumbledore spoke to him, "Dobby, will you please bring the members of the DA to me please".
"Dobby will do so straight away" and with a pop Dobby disappeared.
He looked at the two boys and then got up and went to his cupboard. He pulled out a scroll of parchment and sat back down.
"Harry, Draco, I'm going to explain to you why Harry was able to live and not just because of ordinary love", he surveyed the boys' expressions and, "Harry, your parents bond was stronger than any other wizards I knew. This is because Lily was a Veela. Do you know what a Veela is", he asked them. They nodded remembering back to the night the night of the quidditch tournament.
"Good. Well when a Veela finds its mate they must gain a special bond to survive. When mother your mother came into inheritance of her gift she fell for James and James fell for her. After they were married there bond became complete and they had you. Now first born of a Veela has special powers. Though you didn't gain any Veela in you for some reason you do have special powers that no other normal baby would have not even a Veela's baby. Your powers along with your mother's love stopped Voldermort from killing you that night. Know I suppose you want to why this involves you Draco", he asked turning to Draco.
"Yes sir", he said.
"Well the first born of a Veela has special powers as I mentioned before" he said turning back to Harry, "Your powers, though they aren't a Veela's power, became stronger after Voldermort vanished. When he came back in your fourth year he took those powers he gave to you back. But you still were able to beat him in your years. This year you have became as strong as you were with Voldermort's powers because you have found the one thing that you have been looking for your whole life. True love", he said smiling at the boys.
They looked at each other and then Draco said, "So Voldermort can only be defeated by true love, which you're saying Harry and I have found". Dumbledore nodded but was unable to say another word 'cause Dobby has returned with the DA members. Ron and Hermione looked at Harry and Draco, then at Dumbledore.
"What's going on? Harry are you alright", Hermione shrieked.
"I'm fine Hermione. Dumbledore will explain I need to talk to Draco", he said getting up and dragging Draco outside of the office.
Harry soon let the tears he had held in for Dumbledore's speech into Draco's shirt. Draco held Harry and shushed him.
"It's all right Har. I knew what we had was real but I didn't think it was that strong. So it's going to be me and you in the end. A Death Eater's son and the boy who lived will be the one's to defeat the Dark Lord", Harry looked at him.
"It's not that. I've always had nightmares of my parent's death and I never really understood what Dumbledore meant when he said that I lived and my parents didn't and now that I do I've also found you. This world is going to be safe from Voldermort but what about after that. He's got followers almost as powerful as him and what if we can't defeat him and we die. What will happen then", he cried.
"Harry. Do you believe that we can do this", Draco asked. Harry nodded slightly unsure of what to say, "Exactly don't let anything keep you back. I'll be here for you. As will Granger, Weasley, the girl Weasley, Longbottom and that day dreamer Lovegood. With what I've heard of the DA those five members we can do this and look at me. For once I'm saying something good about Longbottom. You can do this. As long as we stick together we can beat this madman and his followers", Draco said.
Harry looked into his silver eyes and saw something that he had never seen before from anyone else. He saw love, true love. He didn't doubt those eyes for a second as he felt a pair lips touch his. They stood there kissing and then they were interrupted by a loud, "ahem" from Hermione and broke apart blushing.
They entered the office again and Dumbledore stood before the whole of DA and a Death Eater's son. Fawkes had arrived back and alerted Dumbledore that the Order was ready for them.
"Ok, now I want all of you except Harry and Draco to go by floo to the Order and check on the place and then send someone back to tell me if it's safe. I'm gathering you all know where it is since most of your parents work there. Hermione go first and then every one else follow them", Hermione stepped in the fireplace with the floo powder in her hand dropped it into the fire saying, the Order of the Phoenix and disappearing into the fire, Ron followed and then one by one so did the rest of DA. They left Harry, Draco and Dumbledore in the office.
Harry and Draco sat back down in the chairs they were about ten minutes ago. Dumbledore held a piece of parchment in his hands.
"Harry here is something you'll need to see. Its part the of the Prophecy that you didn't know and I until not too long ago", Dumbledore said handing Harry the parchment. He examined it first and then read it out loud to Draco.
The chosen one can only defeat the Dark Lord with the love of someone who he truly loves and they him. They together can only defeat the Dark Lord. If only one is there then he will only vanish and come back only even more powerful than before.
The room fell silent and Harry was about to speak when Nevile came back.
"Professor the coast is clear. It's only the Order and DA there. No Death Eaters", he said glaring at Malfoy.
"Now Nevile you must understand what told you before", he nodded before stepping back into the fire.
"Harry and Draco you first I must alert Professor McGonagall of what's happening so she can take care and run the school normally. Now there's something else. Your absence will go unnoticed except for tonight. There are fixed polyjuice potions in Miss Finny's storeroom which we will use in case of an emergency. Is there anything else you would like to know?" he said to the boys.
"Just one question, why didn't you tell me before my mother was a Veela?" he asked. "I could not until you found you're true because you would've died. That is a reason even I don't know the answer to. You are the first as I'm told in over ten decades to be one that hasn't got Veela in them", he replied. "Now hurry boys before something else happens", he said handing them the floo powder.
Draco stepped into the flames and disappeared and Harry followed. Harry arrived at the headquarters of the order moments later and was pulled into a big hug by Sirius, followed by Tonk's, Mrs Weasley and Remus. They ushered him into the kitchen where the rest of the Order was and also seated was the DA members. In the corner of the kitchen stood the uncertain figure of a blonde-haired boy the only Slytherin in the room with most of its occupants glaring at him. Harry walked over to him and gave him a hug. He cleared his throat and the whole room was looking at him.
"Everyone should know who this is. Yes he is the son of a Death Eater. Yes he is a Slytherin. But I don't care, I love him, I trust him and our love is pure. Just like my parents", he stood before everyone in the room before turning to the blonde-haired boy. The room erupted into talking again as it was before the Slytherin had entered.
"I love you Draco Malfoy. I don't care if you're a Death Eater's son or a Slytherin as long as you love me", he whispered so that only he could hear.
"I love you too Harry Potter, the boy who lived", he said. He wanted to kiss him then and there but not in front of everyone. Dumbledore entered the room and looked at what everyone was staring at and smiled to himself.
"Now, now everyone let them be. Now to business" he said.
