Blood Bond

Chapter two: Where Am I?

Harry opened his eyes and saw three faces looking down at him. He did not recognise one of them. He wondered where he was. Why wasn't he at home in Gryffindor.

He went to sit up but a firm hand stopped him from doing so and in that second it all came back to him in a sickening rush and he fell back into bed the rest of the way.

He remembered seeing Gryffindor City burning and he flopped down onto the bed fighting back tears of despair and trying to forget the screams coming from the smoke.

Then he remembered turning from the City and moving towards the Ash Peak pass and vaguely seeing a Rider on the road as he remembered three Raiders coming out of the pass and attacking him.

He couldn't remember clearly what happened after that. He did know that he had been hurt and that he should have been dead but he wasn't. He owed someone a life debt.

"How did I get here?" He asked with a voice he was sure didn't belong to him. Everything in him seemed so disjointed.

"You were brought here by me." Said a voice. Harry looked round and saw a blond haired teen sitting beside his bed. The blonde stood up and his grey eyes flashed.

"I'm pleased you're awake sir, I wasn't sure you'd pull through." "Thank-you." Harry said, "You saved my life. I believe I owe you a life debt. My thanks sir."

Draco shook his head. "No it is I who owe you a life debt I would have been dead had it not been for your warning and quick thinking." "Your debt is now repaid sir." Harry said nodding in thanks. Draco shook his head. "No. I will repay my debt when the time is right."

"But have you not repaid it already?" Harry asked confused. "No. I do not deem healing wounds you received on my behalf as repaying a debt." The blond boy said.

Suddenly remembered why he was there for the second time that morning and retched as he saw his beloved City go up in flames behind his eyelids. "Please!" He murmured. "Please tell me where I am!" "You're in Hogwarts and safe." A new voice said.

Harry turned and saw the speaker was one of the people round his bed. "I am Healer Poppy." She said. "I had hoped you would wake up soon." "I need to speak to Remus Lupin or Sirius Black do you know where I could find them?"

He watched as the blonde's eyes widened and then whispered something to his companion and he nodded and left the room. "May I enquire how you know Lord Sirius and Lord Remus?" The blonde said looking at Harry.

"I was sent here to give them a message from Albus Dumbledore." Harry chocked on tears as he thought of his father. The Blonde's eyes if it was possible became wider and he said, "What news from Gryffindor?"

"It burns." Harry chocked. Everyone around the bed gasped. "No that's impossible!" Poppy said. "Oh really?" Harry said anger flashing in his eyes. "I could have sworn I saw everything in it burn and I was the only one to leave. I'm such a coward, but I had no choice."

At that moment there was a commotion at the door and two figures barrelled in. They barrelled to the bed and stopped dead… "Harry!" Harry's eyes widened. "D-do I know you?" He asked cautiously.

"My name is Sirius Black." The dark haired man said slowly as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing. "This is Remus Lupin we knew your parents Harry." "You did?" Harry questioned. "We did." The blond haired man now known as Remus confirmed.

"Dumbledore sent me here to find you." Harry said fighting to sit up. "Gryffindor City is burning Raiders managed to get past the wards."

Whatever Sirius and Remus had been expecting to hear it was not this. Their eyes budged and they seemed to be struggling to process the news. "Oh goddess." Sirius said looking at his companion.

Harry put his head in his hands and said, "I should have stayed and defended the City but Father, that is my adopted father, Dumbledore told me to leave. He made me promise to leave the City and get to the two of you. I had no choice. I'm a coward I should have stood with the Army."

"But then we would not know the Fate of Gryffindor City." Remus said. "You did the right thing." Remus smiled and somehow it made Harry feel better about what he had done. "We need to send rescue teams to the ruins." Sirius said. "Remus and I will head the teams."

"I'll go with you." Harry said starting to get out of bed. Poppy pushed him back into bed. "You'll do nothing of the sort. You have by no means recovered your magical levels and your shoulder is nowhere near healed."

"But that's my home, I have to help in whatever way I can." "You'll remain here and get better first." Sirius said gently. "But-" Harry tried to say and was pushed back down on the bed by two hands one the hand of Remus Lupin and the other by the blonde guy that Harry didn't even know the name of yet.

"NO." They both said firmly and though Harry didn't like it he reluctantly gave up and bowed down in defeat. He turned to look at the blonde guy. "I'm sorry you've told me you saved my life but who are you. My name is Harry. I'm the adoptive son of Albus Dumbledore. You are?"

Draco's eyes went wide as he looked at the elf. He heard stories of Harry Dumbledore he was meant to be one of the best archers the Gryffindor army had sired in a while. Apparently he wasn't bad with a sword either. But it was his magic that made so powerful. No wonder Dumbledore had forced him to leave.

The Raiders would have had a field day if they'd managed to get hold of him. Draco gave a little bow and then said, "Pleased to meet you Harry my name is Draco Malfoy."

Harry's eyes went huge. The Malfoys had been the ruling family in Slytherin before Voldemort took over this must be the young prince. Harry returned the bow. "It is a pleasure to meet you Prince Draco."

Draco's eyes went huge. There were not many people in the surrounding cities that knew of Draco's true heritage. He had been the Prince of Slytherin, yes but he had lost that part of him when he and his family had been forced to flee Slytherin. He wasn't a prince in Hogwarts, not really he was more like an abdicated Prince. Hogwarts didn't really have a ruling family because it was representation of all four countries and housed people of all races behind it's walls.

His father Lucius had ran Hogwarts since leaving Slytherin but he did it not as a King but as part of a Council that Remus Lupin and Sirius Black were also part of as head of the representatives from Gryffindor.

Which made it amazing that the young elf would know he was a Prince. Now Harry himself was more a prince than Draco himself yet he had still respected him as one regardless of the fact his title did not truly apply anymore.

"There are not many people that know of that anymore." He said shocked. He edged closer to the bed wanting to get closer to the enigma that was Prince Harry of Gryffindor.

Harry grinned seeing Draco's response. "Don't look so shocked Father always made sure I did my lessons as well as archery and sword lessons he always believes that knowledge is the key to understanding other people and therefore solving problems and this way war can often be avoided."

Sirius rolled his eyes. "That sounds like Albus alright." Remus nodded in agreement. "When we lived in Gryffindor Albus was always trying to teach that peace was better than war although he always had the best army in times of war and his spy network is one of the best through out all of the area Hogwarts included."

Harry grinned, "Father is always prepared for anything." Then his face fell. "Well everything but this attack. I should not have left I left all my friends fighting on the walls. I feel like such a coward." Sirius looked down at him his eyes full of understanding.

"Sometimes the braver thing to do is not to fight at all. I've already sent some scouts ahead and I am going with them. Get well Prince Harry and once you are well we can head back to Gryffindor together."

Remus nodded in agreement. "Sirius I'll stay here with Harry you go on with the scouts come back when you have a report."

Sirius nodded. "I'll be back Harry it's such along time since I've seen you I want to know what you've been doing and perhaps I'll challenge you to a dual." "I'll win." Harry said cockily. "Father and General Alastor Moody taught me and my friend Ron Weasley before we joined the Army they were the best." Sirius' eyes went round.

"I agree. But Mad Eye also taught me. And…Your father." Remus shot Sirius a filthy look. "You shouldn't have said anything! Not yet!" Harry's eyes went huge. "You knew my father?" "Very well." "Perhaps if you get better we can talk some more."

Harry nodded eagerly. "I'd like that."

Draco watched the interaction with growing interest but also growing annoyance. The arrival of Sirius and Remus had taken Harry's attention away from him and for some reason he didn't like that. He felt as if they were taking Harry away from him and he knew this was something he shouldn't even be thinking about after all Harry was hardly his but he couldn't help it.

Draco had always admittedly been possessive of this he thought to be his. And it was amazing but it was true. In the short time he had known Harry, most if not all of that not knowing who he was, he had come to think of Harry as his. It was wrong, he knew it was wrong but he couldn't help it.

Malfoy's were possessive of what was theirs and damn it whether they liked it or not Harry was his.

Sirius soon left to join the scouts to journey to Gryffindor Kingdom to assess the damage and although no one said anything everyone involved knew they were going to look for survivors.

Remus stayed and spoke with Poppy while Draco stayed close to Harry and talked to him. He knew he was late for a meeting with his father but somehow he didn't care.

Harry looked at Draco. "What happened? The last thing I remember was shooting an arrow at a raider that was following me." Draco smirked. He liked being able to tell people things they didn't know.

"Well you shot that arrow and as much as it pains me I have to say thank-you because without it I would have been dead and then another raider out of nowhere and knocked you to the ground I managed to help."

Here Draco stopped and his smirk grew more pronounced. "You owe me your life coz I managed to tackle the raider to the ground and then I brought you here." Harry's eyes were huge and he shook his head. "You truly did save my life my sincere thanks Prince Draco."

Draco stared at Harry. He actually meant it! He actually meant that thanks. He shook his head he had been around Council members too long he couldn't remember the last time someone had been sincere to him.

Remus watched this exchange amused. He had said very little since Sirius had left he just watched Harry and Draco interact and watched the boy he had had to leave so long ago. He had changed so much. Dumbledore had done a good job raising him. He had also noticed the envy in Draco's eyes when he and Sirius were talking to Harry.

He would certainly watch the coming months with interest something told him it would be interesting to say the least.

At that moment the doors opened and his father Lucius Malfoy, once the King of Slytherin swept into the room. Remus stood and he and Lucius exchanged bows as it was formal to do among those in the Council of Hogwarts and then Lucius tuned to his son.

"Draco I expected you in my study fifteen minutes ago. I do not like being kept waiting." "I'm sorry father but something came up." Draco said smoothly.

Lucius, had he not been the articulate Malfoy everyone knew him to be, would have rolled his eyes. There was always something coming up in his son's life these days.

Remus, understanding the look Lucius was giving his son said, "This time Draco's absence is founded. Gryffindor City was attacked." Lucius stiffened immediately and turned to Remus. "And you know this how?"

Remus motioned to Harry. "This is Harry Albus Dumbledore's adoptive son. He was sent here to warn us. Sirius has already set out with the scouts. He will return for the Army once the extent of the damage is known."

Remus looked at Lucius and Draco had the distinct impression Remus Lupin and his father were aware of something he wasn't it wasn't a feeling he enjoyed.

Lucius approached the bed and Harry bowed his head in respect. "King Lucius." Draco watched his fahter's reaction and was shocked to see him smiling. "I see Albus has taught you your history. You need not call me King for I am not one anymore. At least not in these walls."

Harry nodded his head in acceptance and shrugged. "As you wish." He fell back against the pillows and Poppy bustled in. "Alright enough he's tired and I do want him to recover. Take these potions Harry it will make for a dreamless sleep." Harry nopdded and turned to Remus.

"You'll tell me what Sirius and the scouts find? You'll wake me when they return?" Remus nodded his head. "Of course but now you have to rest." Harry took his potion without further complaint and fell into a deep sleep.

Lucius turned to his son and smirked. "It seems for once your excuse is actually real." Draco shrugged it off and said, "He saved my life father." Lucius nodded. "I knew you were missing from the palace."

Draco should have known better his father always knew the comings and goings of Hogwarts Palace the main base. "Since you got Harry to us my only punishment is for you to become his guide show him round the palace help him recover. Help him train he will no doubt want to return to Gryffindor."

Normally this would have been a punishment for Draco he hated doing things such as this but with Harry it didn't seem that big of a deal. It meant he got to spend more time with Harry and for an unexplainable reason this made him happy.

"Yes Father." Draco said emotionlessly he didn't need his father knowing he as looking forward to it. His father might decide to change his mind. "Your lessons will begin again tomorrow make sure you're not late Draco." With that he swept from the room.

Draco, however had no thoughts of leaving and had he thought this through properly this should have been a scary prospect for the young prince but all he could think about was Harry and how much he didn't know about him.

He was an enigma.

A puzzle.

And one Draco fully intended to fathom out.
