Summary: Draco and Harry hate each other. But even hate has to be put to the side when Harry gets captured by unknown travelers from another world. It's up to Draco to find Harry and take him back. AU Time Travel

In the last chapter:

"For some reason your world is considered the core and is easier to find. It will take months to find the next. But in the mean time, pray! Pray to any deity or god that holds supreme in your life. Pray that Draco finds a spell to get to you and that the connection he made with you pulls him to you. Pray that I never get near you. For I will kill you Harry. Make no mistake about that!

And your death will be a piece of Heaven, a place that I will never step forth into. No matter what universe I'm in."

Massacre at Hogwarts

The Memorial for the School of Hogwarts took place today at four o'clock. It has been a week since the whole of Hogwarts, including the teachers were found murdered. It was with a sad heart today that the inhabitants of Hogwarts were laid to rest. At this time there are no suspects, though it has been mentioned that the Minster believes it is the work of Death Eaters or You Know Who himself. Another sad note is that Harry Potter is still missing. At this time we can not know where he is, or if he is even still alive. We at the Daily Prophet hope that this act of devastation will shed a little light on where our Savior is. Hopefully if our Savior is alive he will come back and lead us against this war that we are in now. And what happened to Draco Malfoy? His body as well wasn't found. Are they together? Were they both kidnapped? Or are they both dead? Did Draco Malfoy kill the teachers and students of Hogwarts and take Harry Potter? Should we look to him for our Savior? At this time the Minister of Magic as well as the Aurors are looking for Mr. Malfoy for questioning. Unfortunately there are too many questions and not enough answers of what happened that fateful night at the school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. May Merlin look down on Harry Potter and the souls that were lost in the Massacre of Hogwarts.

The cloaked figure threw the Daily Prophet into the nearest trash bin. He had been en route to god knows where for the last week. A flash of pain shot through his chest as a fit of cough took over his entire form. He pulled the cloak closer to his body and walked faster. He still had to meet someone at a coffee shop on the corner five blocks from the Leaky Cauldron. He walked the last blocks and slipped into the shop. It was slightly packed with teenagers and older people drinking coffee and just talking. He slowly lowered his body to the table in the back and waited.

Just as he was about to get up for the bathroom a woman and an older gentlemen walked into the shop. Her hair was short and brown. It curled at her ears and she wore a light blue dress that covered her arms and legs. Beside her was a man that had to be in his early eighties. His hair was white and his skin a little pink tinted. He held her arm against him as they moved to the back of the shop towards the man. Both sat down across from him.

"We came as soon as I could get out from under the watch. I'm sorry it took so long. How have you been?" The woman spoke to the man in hushed tones.

"Ok I guess. I'm still in some pain. But I can get over that. Did you bring the papers?" His voice was raspy from lack of talking. He never pulled his hood down; after all he was being looked for.

"I did bring them. I'm confused as to how you knew of my work." The older gentlemen stated beside him.

The figure didn't answer at first when the papers were handed to him. He took them into his long bony fingers. Fingers that at one point were immaculate were now stained from blood that still flowed form him slowly whenever he moved and opened the large wound on his chest.

"It was a hunch. I can't explain it to you. I can't even tell you where I'll go with these papers. But you have to understand that the less you know, the less they will be able to get out of you. Did you bring the potion mother?"

"Of course dear. I also brought a bag of ingredients, healing potions already made, and several cauldrons incase you need more potions wherever you are going. You will return won't you?" She handed over to him a small bag that she pulled form her pocket. One he hadn't seen when she walked in.

"I don't know if I will live through this. If I do then I shall return, if not. Know that I love you mother and thank you Professor Yoj. Now I'm sorry that I have to do this, but I must erase this from your mind." He looked up at them through the shadow under his cloak.

"That is fine sweetie. We have already made up an alibi over this trip. Do what you have to do just don't mess up our minds. Right Professor? Ok them honey go ahead." Professor Yoj and his mother looked away from him as he raised his hand to their faces.

"Deleo meus imprint. Deleo is moment. Permissum haud vir vel bestia take ex is mens , quis EGO have perfectus hic." 1. Light purple beam came from his hands and went towards their foreheads. They looked odd for a second then got up and walked out of the shop. They didn't look back and the cloaked stranger gathered the papers and left as well.

It took him a while but he managed to go into a dark bar and sit in the back. After taking the potions that would heal the wound in his chest and trying to get rid of the pain with another potion the figure was finally able to pull the papers from the inside o his cloak to read. The papers were spread out on the table. The light over his table swung over head and showed him the words, thoughts, even pictures of everything he knew the professor would have accomplished.

June 4th 1978

I have been working on this for the last twenty years. I have been putting together several potions that finally have the cause I want; to put the traveler into a trance. After twenty years of research I have finally perfected the trance and the after effects. I can now see the alternate dimensions but with another potion completely taken out of context I was able to travel to the forbidden road that shows the dimensions and can enter them. I have gone to a world where I am a scientist or something of that nature. It was wonderful. Now I was not able to stay long, due to the lack of an anchor that would keep me in that world, but I know that with time I will obtain that anchor and will be able to travel to any world and stay. I was able to travel to that world several times to do odd experiments and to see what would happen to this world. I will discuss what I found.

It has also come to my attention that I am unsure what happens to the alternate me when I travel to that world. I'm not sure if they're pushed to a different plane to wait or if I take their place. No one seemed to interact with me, but then again I appeared in a place that was quite crowded. I saw no one in that world that would be in this so I can now see that unless you are in the core universe; you will not see the traveler. I must stress again that due to the lack of an anchor I was unable to test my theory. I hope that with time I will be able to not only stay but also bring back with me a person from that world to this. As I said I went back several times to experiment with some of my findings. I had taken a cloak from a stranger and when I felt the pull and brought back I did not have the cloak. When I went a second time, I fell into the lab of my counterpart and taken something that meant a great deal to me that I had lost as well as a pen that was on my desk when I left. When I came back, it was the missing trinket that stayed with me and not the pen. It is safe to say that if the object that is brought back is missing from the core, it will come back with you.

I am not certain if something is destroyed or dead will return to the core, since it is safe to say that it was destroyed in the original. That is something that I must plan out very well. Also it is a theory that the main world will or will not change if I do anything in the other universes. That is also my next plan of action. I will have to go back to the research and try to find an anchor that will draw me to the universes and bring me back. Something similar to a connection between the worlds. I will have to wait to test this theory as well.

I'm not too sure if I am remembering this, but I believe that when I first went into the trance I met with a womanly figure on the road to the first dimension. I can not be certain if this was an illusion or if it was taking place. She spoke to me and I then found myself in the other universe. I'm not sure if it happened since it hasn't happened since that first time.

DDDDDDDDD

He smiled to himself. He has found exactly what he was looking for. Closing his eyes briefly he could feel the connection that drew him to Harry. It wasn't strong but it was stable and it was enough of a connection to pull him through the world enough to find him. He hadn't the faintest idea how many worlds he would have to go through to find him. But he made a promise, shared a moment of understanding and he was not about to let Harry stay wherever he was a lone.

The figure stood after downing a glass of water sitting on the table and made up his mind that he would go today. Walking to a near by hotel, is what he thought the muggles called it, he ordered a room and went inside. Clearing the floor and hanging his cloak up, Draco Malfoy began to follow the instructions that the professor had laid out in his journals. He made the potions that would put him into a trance and affectively travel down the road that would lead him to the alternate dimensions.

It took a couple of hours but when it was a half an hour to three in the morning he had finished all three of the potions. One to put him in a trance, one to give him the ability to walk through the dimensions and one to strengthen his connection to Harry so that he could hone in on Harry's signature in each dimension he traveled in. It was kind of like a beacon to Harry's soul. Looking at each of them he ran into the bath room to take a quick shower and get ready for his journey. He wasn't certain what he would find or how Harry would change in each dimension, but he was determined not to look like a pauper.

Coming back with ten minutes to spare, Draco downed the potions and lay in bed. Soon the affects would take over and he would see no more. As he waited for the potion to take over his system he thought back to the last entry in the Professor's journal. He remembered the Professor stating that he ran into a woman on the road and that he wasn't sure if it really happened or not. As his mind started to drift he felt a little scared that he hadn't remembered that part, but was assured that if the Professor could do it, then he could as well. His mind went dark.

HHHHHHHH

I woke up in a damp cell. My glasses lay next to my hand and I'm glad I didn't accidentally smash them when I woke. I've been here for a week and already I feel a loneliness that I can't express. The cell across from mine is quiet; I would be as well if I had done what he and my counterpart had done in this world. They killed so many and even now after seeing it a week ago I still get the creeps when he looks at me with those white eyes. He is lying on the floor of his cell facing me. His face is drawn into a look of terror. His eyes are thankfully closed. Not like three days ago when they moved him across from mine and I woke to see his eyes open watching me and yet not. I screamed so loud that the hideous guards came running and made him turn from me. Apparently, they wanted me dead but not dead in this world since they had killed the Harry from this time.

The woman hadn't come to talk to me since the screening and trail. All I can remember is watching everything that had happened and finding myself sick. Only to have the screen go away and find the mutilated body of myself lying in the most disturbing fashions on a slab by my feet. I was sick then. And all I heard was the cheers and screams of the many mutants that littered the stands surrounding us. Afterwards this Draco was calm, collected. He never once looked at me the whole time I was sick. His eyes stayed on the figure. I think that if he had any type of pupils in his eyes he would have been sad. I got the sadness from him as they lead him and me away.

As I sit here I think about my Draco. I wonder if he will still come for me like he promised or if he will just go into hiding. I'm not sure if anybody survived the attack from the mutants and the woman when they came to take me. I had hoped that they did, but slowly I come to find that in my heart I know they didn't. I try not to think about my capture because it too gives me nightmares. Then for some reason I think about Voldemort? What is he doing while I'm gone? Is he trying to take over now that both Dumbledore and I are out of the picture? I hope Draco is able to find me. I remember what this Draco told me yesterday. That he could feel his soul being drawn to me. Not me but his Harry. He said that the other me was calling for him to go to him. He said that when my Draco came, he would go to Harry and they would be together as they were made to be. I got the impression that it was not of a romantic nature and I ignored his implications.

I'm getting a little dizzy now. And I don't know why. For some reason my mind is spinning and circling around one image. As I'm slowly lowering myself to the floor I notice that the other Draco is up and staring at me. I heard him talking to me before I fell into a deep slumber.

"He has entered the Portal of time. He must meet with the Guardian before she allows him to travel here. If he is found unworthy she will send him back and forbid his passage. He must pass her test before she will let him move forward. Many people have been turned away do to fear. I hope for your sake that his feelings for you are strong enough to give him the way to pass."

' Draco.'
