Harry really did not want to get up today, he knew that this was going to be the last time that he could be in this manor and see his family. Today Harry and his friends were going to leave for their 5 weeks of solitude in Durmstrang, and he was nervous.
"Harry, my love, are you okay?" Draco asked. That is one thing that Harry loved about Draco, Draco always knew when there is something wrong with Harry from just one look, he doesn't have to ask.
"It's nothing, I'm just nervous. I mean I'm not going to see father and everyone else for 5 weeks. I know that I will have you and the rest of the group but I have grown used to being around father by now." Harry said. Draco wrapped his arms around the boy that he loved.
"Oh Harry. You have that two way mirror, you will always be in contact with your father, and don't you dare think that he would hate when you next see him, he loves almost as much as I do love." Draco said, seemingly reading his lovers mind.
"Thank you Draco. Well we are packed so let's get ready and head down stairs, we will be leaving to the boat in an hour." Harry was grateful that they had their port keys, the school was in Bulgaria, too far to apparate or floo, the port key would get them their in a few seconds.
They got ready, went to the bathroom and then grabbed their bags before heading down the stair where everyone else was waiting for them.
Blaise, Daphne and Pansy were there with them as their Death Eater parents were going with them to the boat. Fred, George, Bill, Charlie, Cedric, Luna, Neville, Fleur and Lavender were going to meet them there.
"Harry are you ready to go?" Voldemort asked. He too was a bit unhappy that his son was going so far away and not seeing him at all for 5 weeks. He knew that everyone is a bit upset that they are not going to see them for a few weeks but Harry has only been his son for a months, and he was a bit upset to see him go.
"Yes father, though I am going to miss you." Harry said, launching into his fathers arms, and snuggling into his strong and warm chest.
"Oh Harry I am going to miss you to." Voldemort said, returning the strong hug that was being given to him.
Once Harry got a hug from his father he ran to the man that he now saw as his dad, Severus, who he also gave a strong hug to, followed by everyone else gathered in the room that he would not see after this point.
Harry, Voldemort, Draco, Lucius, Severus and Narcissa all left the room, followed by Daphne, Theo and Blaise as well as their parents, all left the mansion and apparated to the boat docking station.
Harry stared at the boat. It was a big boat that resembles those of pirates that he had read about in the library of Riddle Manor. It's sails were down, the ship would only have the crew and the kids that were heading their now on the boat.
Harry, Draco, Blaise, Theo and Pansy met up with the others in the group, who came on their own without their parents or guardians. Harry gave his two fathers one last hug, then hugged Lucius and Narcissa. "Bye father, bye dad. I will contact you, Narcissa and Lucius every night, okay?" Harry said, earning him nods from everyone. "Tell Sirius and Remus that I will talk to them every night too." Harry said, gaining nods again.
"Bye mum, bye dad." Draco said, giving his parents one last hug also. "I will contact you every night as well, as well as Tom, Sirius and Remus." Draco said, earning nods as well.
When all of the children said goodbye to their parents they boarded the ship that was going to keep them from their families for 5 weeks. They were taken to the deck, where they looked down at their parents on the dock, who were smiling and waving at them.
They all waved back until they were taken out of sight by the boat.
15 minutes into the ride they had been told that they had to go into the belly of the ship, as for the rest of the journey it would be done underwater. Harry admired the inside of the ship, Harry had never been good with bright and vibrant colours, the boat reflected the nature of the school, dark. Harry had always been more of a fan of darker colours, which is why he never did like the Gryffindor common room, it was too bright with the red and gold colouring.
The ride would take the rest of the day so they were all given rooms, Lucius had spoken to the headmaster telling him that Draco and Harry were together and they had to share a room, so on the ship and in the school they would be the only ones in the rooms.
"Wow, I can't believe that we are going here. This is one of the best schools that there is, some say that it is better than Hogwarts itself." Draco said, admiring what he was seeing.
"And I am inclined to agree. I hated all of the bright and vibrant colours that Hogwarts was decorated in, if the school is anything like the boat then I am going to enjoy the dark colours." Harry said, then he smirked.
Before Draco knew what was going on he was pushed down onto the bed with a pair of warm lips on his. His surprise only lasted for a few seconds before he responded to the warm kiss his mate was giving him.
When Harry finally moved away from the lips of his mate Draco looked at him. "What was that for love? Not that I did not enjoy it, but what was with the sudden kiss?" Draco asked. Draco had noticed that Harry was being a bit more bold in their relationship, both of them had never really dated before, neither of them had ever been kissed and neither of them had had sex yet.
"Well, I just really love you." Harry said, earning a lovely smile from Draco.
"Come on, we have a busy day ahead of us, so let's get some sleep." Draco said, rolling over so he was spooning his mate.
A few hours later Harry and Draco, as well as all of the other children, were awoken by a loud horn signalling that they had arrived. Harry and Draco met up with the others on the deck of this ship and had gotten their first look at the castle.
The castle was a lot cleaner looking than Hogwarts was, it was quite a bit bigger than the castle at Hogwarts was and it looked a lot more menacing than the Hogwarts one did. All in all Harry and the rest of his group loved this castle a whole lot more then they did the one they were previously in.
The ship soon docked into place, and all of the kids finally arrived at their new home for a few weeks.
"Wow this place is amazing." Everyone seemed to say together.
"Well thank you. You must be the new students, I am the headmaster here, I welcome you." A voice said from in front of them. They looked at the man, he was about 30 years old, with long black hair with bits of grey mixed in, he had a black beard to go with it though no where near as long as Dumbledore's, he was quite tall, had dark brown eyes and spoke with a heavy accent.
"We thank you for accepting us so late into the school." Harry said, taking on the role of leader.
"Oh when I hear that the new son of the Dark Lord, the heir to the Malfoy's and other dark children were coming to the school, I could not say no." The headmaster said, smiling at all of the new students.
"Thank you!" They all chimed in.
"Well if you would come with me, I will lead you to your rooms. In Durmstrang we do not have houses, you all of rooms that you are allowed to share with whoever you want, but most rooms only hold the maximum of 3. You will chose what you want to do Light, Dark or a mix of the two, but most chose dark here." At this the headmaster turned to look at all of the kids.
"We all chose dark." Harry said, once again speaking out for the rest of the group.
"Let me guess, you are Harry Riddle?" Harry nodded. "Well I am pleased to meet you. And yes your father and Mr Malfoy explained everything to me. Your lessons will all be dark then." The headmaster said.
They then began to walk to the castle, where the headmaster showed them a couple of empty rooms that they could chose. Harry and Draco had been told that they were sharing with each other and no one else, meaning that their room was already picked for them.
"Right well the rest of you sort yourselves into groups of three, and then you will be able to pick your rooms." The headmaster said. He was looking forward to having these kids in his school, he could tell that they all had a dark aura inside them, and this is the place that they should have been from the very beginning.
Fred, George and Blaise were together. Bill, Charlie and Cedric went together. Neville and Theo were put together in three room, being told that another would join them when the true year began. And Luna, Pansy and Daphne went together. They then looked into the rooms, each one being different, before they chose.
The three girls chose the cutest room. It was dark purple in colour with three single beds with a decent space between them. This was obviously a girls room as their were three makeup tables beside each of the beds as well as wardrobes and chest of drawers for each of the beds. There was an on-suite bathroom with three showers, one bath, three sinks each with a mirror and two toilets. The bathroom was lilac in colour.
Blaise, Fred and George chose a royal blue room, again with three beds, three wardrobes and three chest of drawers for each bed. Theirs also had a large bathroom with three showers, one bath and three urinals. The bathroom was a sky blue in colour.
Bill, Charlie and Cedric's room as well as Neville and Theo's room, were the same as Blaise and the twins room except Bill, Charlie and Cedric's was a crimson red room with a white bathroom, while Blaise, Fred and George's room was a golden colour while the bathroom was green.
Harry and Draco's room was not too far away from their friends, as their families wanted them to be close to one another.
Harry and Draco's room was bigger than the others, this was because their was only one bed, two wardrobes and two chest of drawers, making the room seem a lot bigger than the others. The room was an emerald green colour, and Harry liked this room better than that of the one he had at Hogwarts. The bathroom had one shower, one bath, two urinals and one sink with a mirror. The bathroom was silver in colour. Harry loved this because it reminded him of Slytherin, the house he should have been a part of.
Over all they were very happy with how things were going so far. "Well, I think we are going to like it here Draco." Harry said, gaining a nod from his mate.
"Yeah but I still can't wait to go home and see everyone after the 5 weeks. And I can't wait to go back to Hogwarts in a few months for that tournament." Harry said.
Draco got thoughtful look on his face. "We might see those from Hogwarts sooner than we think. You see when the school year begins they have try-outs for the Quidditch team here, and I heard that they need a new seeker and a new chaser, exactly the positions that we play. If we do try-out then we will be going to the Quidditch World Cup, which is hosted in England this year, it is Bulgaria against the Irish. Apparently the Weasley's got a hold of tickets and are going, so we will see them, but they will not notice you." Draco said, causing Harry to smirk.
"Yes father spoke to me about this. Apparently he and the Death Eaters are planning an attack on the night of the event, we will join them of course but we will wear our masks and not be seen." Harry said. A few weeks after they all met one another Harry and his friends were given a mask. Harry's was blood red, with aspects of emerald and silver in beautiful patterns around the mask, these were the colours that showed he was leader. Draco's mask was emerald in colour with crimson and silver aspects in beautiful patterns around the mask, this indicating that he was second in command. All of the others had silver masks, the Death Eaters masks were pure white with bits of black, while Harry's group wore silver masks with bits of emerald, showing the difference to any who saw them together.
"Come on we start tomorrow, let's get some sleep." Harry said as he and Draco lay down on the bed, snuggled together and fell asleep happy that their plan was working, and that they were feeling safe with one another.
