WARNING: Slash! Erm... d'ya think I should make this m-preg? Well, that's yours to decide.
Dedication – To one buggering person who buggered me about this every time we talked called Yana5 (no offence Jems ), and to Master-of-Wind who helped me with finding my lil' spy for this. Thanks Jason!
Not in the mood for blabbering right now, so good for you :P
PS – I dunno if will let it be the way it is or not, but if the "..." turns to "...'', then know that I lost my old Microsoft Word, and got a replacement with a worse one. So.. I know it's not likely for you to notice it, but some do... and I know it's not too important to say, but I've heard of such critics who criticize even that.
Oh, and sorry for the shortness of the next few chappys. I'm gonna make them as long as I possibly could. Which is not by much, I'll warn you ahead.

Chapter IV - Meeting The Demon Lord.
-:-:-
When Harry woke up the next morning, he was surprised to see that he was the only one still in the room, and wondered why no one woke him up.
He checked the time and saw it was half-way through breakfast, so he rushed out of bed and, after a quick shower, rushed towards the Great Hall.
Suddenly something pulled him into an unused classroom and turned him around.
Harry was about to yell at the person, but stopped himself when he saw it was Draco. A very nervous Draco.
"Draco? Are you alright?"
Draco looked at him, then at the door when it opened and in came Draco's parents, both wearing weary and tired expressions.
Harry was confused. Why would Draco pull him into a classroom where his parents and he are going to talk about... whatever they are going to talk about.
Draco looked at him again, "Harry, I pulled you here so I could tell you not to come looking for me when I've gone missing. Nor should you let anyone else come searching for me either. It's important Harry, I need you to promise not to come looking for me. And if you see me leaving the castle or something, don't follow. I need you to stay in the castle no matter what. This is very important. Do you promise?"
Harry blinked, shocked. What the hell is going on?
But he still smiled reassuringly, "Of course I won't. If you say I shouldn't then I won't. But why?"
Draco sighed, "It's just something I must go to and no one should know of it but my parents. Now, I do believe you are hungry?" he said teasingly as my stomach grumbled.
Harry blushed and smiled sheepishly, nodding. "Well, why don't you go down to the Great Hall then and get that stomach full hmm? I'll talk to my parents for a few minutes and then I'll join you."
Harry smiled and nodded again, "Okay. See you then. Have a nice day Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy!" The two nodded as they watched Harry go out of the room.
Draco sighed when the door closed after Harry and turned towards his father, "Now... what's this about Voldemort coming into the Forbidden Forest?"
Lucius nighed and took a seat on one of the student tables, Draco following his lead and Narcissa placing a calming hand on her mates shoulder, staying silent.
"He has come here to get more information from his spy. What the problem is, is that we don't know who the spy could be. They have been hiding well. Not even Narcissa can smell the spy out. And that is why we have to send you there. You can disguise yourself as good the spy can, and we need to get past the wards Voldemort has placed on the forest and see what is going to happen. You must go as soon as you can."
Draco nodded and went to the door, speaking over his shoulder, "I'll go as soon as I finish with my breakfast." No sooner had he said that that the castle shook with such a power that even the ghosts felt it.
Lucius stood, "No Draco. You must go right now! The castle is in danger. The spy is moving towards the Forest."
Draco closed his eyes as he thought about what would await him in that forest, and that Harry would keep his promise to not go into the forest, and nodded.
-:-:-
The edge of the forest was dark. It was always dark, but Draco knew that the old darkness was a light in the one that resided in the forest now. The Demon Lord was far more dark than one without experience would expect.
He was following a hooded person, trying to not let himself be seen, and trying to not lose the person he was following... A difficult thing to do when said person was looking over their shoulder every few minutes.
Finally they reached the forest and Draco followed the person inside, shuddering as he felt the amount of evil barring the forest from the rest of the world.
He still followed the spy, but now they didn't look back, feeling as if they were safe now, in the forest.
They stopped at a wide clearing, the spy bowing in front of a cloaked and hooded person who hissed, "Were you followed?"
A slightly familiar female voice answer, "No my Lord, I do not think so. I was being as careful as I possibly could."
The Demon Lord nodded slightly, "Have you anything to report?"
The girl nodded, bowing again and removed her hood, revealing long red hair...
'Ginny Weasley! But... why?'
"There are rumors around that the angel Prince has found his mate in Hogwarts. It is not sure who it is, thought by the way the Prince acts, it may be a boy named Harry Potter. I have heard that Harry himself does not know that, and have seen that there is an another boy from Slytherin that wants Harry for himself.''
Voldemort rubbed his chin, "Hmm... interesting... and you are friends with this Potter boy?''
At Ginny's nod, he continued, "Good... Ginny, I want that boy. Do not let them bond, no matter what. If the Prince and the boy will bond, it will be disastreous. DO you understand?''
Ginny nodded, "Understood my lord. I shall not dissapoint you...''
She would've continued, but there was a shuffle heard in the bushes right behind Draco, and Ginny drew her wand, ready to protect her Lord, "Who's there?''
Draco turned around, just in time to catch a falling body.
Before he could say anything, there was an angry voice, "Ginny! What are you doing here?''
Draco gasped and tried to hold Harry back, but he pulled himself from the strong arms and ran into the clearing, glancing at Voldemort and stopped, paralized.
Draco, who had followed Harry out of the bushes, almost knocked into him, but held himself back, looking over Harry's shoulder to Voldemort and Ginny, who now looked, frightened, at Harry.
"Well well well, look what we have here... a lovely piece of art, don't you think Draco?'' Voldemort's asked sweetly as Draco stepped in front of Harry, willing to protect him to his death.
"I want you to leave him alone. This doesn't have anything to do with Harry. Let him go without harm and you can have me!''
Voldemort only laughed at that, smirking cruelly and letting little red sparks come from his fingers, as if in anticipation to something good, "Oh, but Draco my dear, where would the fun be if I let your lover go without harm, and only have you? I would much preferably see you both suffer. Torturing Harry would be so much fun, and seeing you try and save him would be even better. But, if you treasure your mate so much, I would of course, settle for destroying you first, though it would ruin much of the fun...'' he sighed, "alas, if it must be...''
He trailed off as he shot the now fully grown sparks at Draco, who took a deep breath and held them off, putting a white glowing shield around him and Harry that faded after the attack.
The Demon Lord snarled and this time shot an emerald green fire at them, the shield coming fully into power again, blocking the attack this time as well.
Draco wasn't confident though. He didn't have enough power to hold him off for long, but he was willing to hold the Demon off for as long as he possibly could as he felt Harry's fear and confusion. He wasn't willing to lose Harry without gaining his love, even more after that had happened.
He did wish that Harry would do something except just stand there though, so he concentrated, giving his shield enough power to contwol itself for some time, and tried to contact Harry/Harry, can you hear me? It's me, Draco./
Harry gasped behind him, looking at Draco's back/D-Draco? What is going on here? What is that man talking about? What mate or whatever did he talk about? Wh—/
/I'll explain everything after this is all over. I need your help. Can I trust you/
Harry blinked, feeling even more confusion falling into his head, but still answered/Of course you can./
/Good. Harry, I need you to grab a strong hold of my left elbow. Only with one hand though. The other place around my waist./
Harry hesitated for a second, but then saw that Draco grunted as a ball of blue fire cracked the shield, and the triumphant gleam in Voldemort's eyes, and did as he was told.
Draco ignored the warm feeling the position cased in his stomach, and gathered his energy to transport them/A tight hold Harry. This is going to be dangerous./ A nod from Harry, and he and Draco dissapeared, the shield breaking and the red burst of energy hitting the place they just stood.
Voldemort cursed in Demon language and turned towards Ginny, his red eyes burning, "Go back to the castle. Make sure that they will not tell anyone what has happened. Understood?''
When Ginny nodded, bowing, he himself dissapeared, his last words echoing in the dark forest, "I'll be back.''
Ginny shuddered and turned to run back to the castle, hoping that she wasn't too late.
-:-:-
Harry gasped as his feet touched the gound, and he felt Draco fall into Lucius' arms, Narcissa crying out quietly and gathering her son from her mates arms and collapsing onto the ground herself, sobbing silently as Draco went limp as he lost conciousness.
Lucius turned to Harry, "What happened Harry? Tell me everything.''
Harry vaguelly noticed they were in Dumbledore's office and told Lucius everything that happened, leaving no detales out except for the part of Ginny being the spy.
"... and then the next thing I knew is appearing here and Draco fainting. Sir, what is going on? Who was that man? What did he mean about me being mates with Draco? Is everything going to be alright Is Draco going to be alright?''
Lucius and Narcissa exchanged glances, "Well Harry, it all is a very long story. I think we should wait until Draco wakes up. He has a lot to say as well, and I have a strong feeling this is going to be a very long night,'' Narcissa finally said, and looked back down at Draco, holding him closer.
Lucius nodded and took a seat in one of the armchaires in Dumbledore's office, the old headmaster himself leaning back in his chair and lacing his fingers in his beard, the twinkle gone from his blue eyes.
Harry sighed and sat himself next to Narcissa and Draco, both of whom were on the floor, Draco's head in Narsicca's lap, and waited.

AN – Gah. Sorry it took so long for it to be written... But it isn't my fault! ... Okay, so it is technically my fault.
But... I mean, is it really my fault if my exams are coming? And that I broke my bleeding toe? And that I had to go to the hospital and get my blind gut/caecum removed? While I had my bleeding big toe broken? No, I didn't think so. Lol, I get into lots of trouble no? Hehehee.. don't mind the hyperness...
Just today I got out of the bloody hospital and got behind the comp to work on this, cos I don't have to go to school until Monday! So that's a good thing. I think that I'm gonna get at least one more chapter out before summer break comes, and that isn't too long of a wait is it? I mean, you've had to wait as long for this to come out anyways...
whines- And I need a bloody massage! My shoulders have been tense for around a year now! Literally! Gods, you do know what I mean don't you?
Okay, another good thing. I finally found my favourite button! And it's... '' ! Isn't it just the coolest button?
Oh god it made me happy Now I'm gonna use in all the time! Hehehee
Again, do you guys think I should make this story M-Preg? Or not?
Also, excuse my mistakes. As said before, I don't have my old Word, and can't see if I have mistakes or not. And no, I'm not that good at English…
AN II - Bah. Too lazy to give review responses. If anyone wants theirs, just give me a note no? And again, ignore my small bursts of silliness, I'm just very glad to be out of the big bad hospital where I had to room with two old ladies that from one I didn't get a word that she said, and the other that was born to be in Slytherin… I mean it! She wasn't openly cruel, but she just… sly, very sly. Always talked good to the nurses, then the next thing she did was ask money for smokes..
Anyone kind enough to give me a massage though? '
Oh, and by the way, I'm on my way to discover the possibilities of Alt+whatever-numbers-that-are-more-than-three-at-once :D eg. Alt+132 ä :D:D I'm crazy, I know. Don't mind me..
Ξ ... I wonder how I got that.. ah well... onwards!
Remember to review! Angel!Draco teddy bear to those who will!
Yuranda and her now almost healed toe are going to go and eat some deliciously salty and greasy things that are not good for her tummy. Lol, I'm gonna kill myself some day like that... ah well...
Ta-ta for now!
….. –chuckles- I just wondered how Jemma'll react...
