Chapter 6: Night Moon Heart
"Professor would it be all right… if Draco came with me…?" Harry asked looking at the headmaster.
Dumbledore shook his head "I'm sorry Harry but he can't, it would jeopardize you more than you know. You were found on that island because Draco's father has a location spell that he placed on his son when he was born. Bringing Draco with you would lead Voldemort to your hidden location." Dumbledore said sadly seeing the hurt in Harry's eyes.
Draco gripped Harry's shirt tighter, he couldn't look into his green eyes since he knew it would only cause him to start crying again.
Harry continued to run his fingers through Draco's hair as he looked at the people around the room.
His godfather, his favorite professor, the head of his house and the headmaster looked back at him. "If Draco isn't coming with me then I'm not going, during my life before I found out I was a wizard I was never shown any love and now you want me to give up the only person who actually loves me then you're all nutters." Harry said staring them down like they were a group of hippogriffs.
"Harry if there was a way to remove the spell we would do it in a heartbeat to help you two" Lupin said in a soft voice that didn't seem to fit him.
Sirius sat in a daze for a moment then slapped his hand again his head and started to laugh like a mad man about to be carted away to the nut house.
"I can't believe I didn't think of it till now; there is a way of removing the spell. Years of not listening to my mother talk about pure blood topics must have subconsciously seeped into my brain. Albus is it possible to do a marriage bonding?" Sirius asked still chuckling.
The headmaster nodded "That could be done, but only someone who is appointed by the ministry is able to do it so that the spell on Draco would become useless. I could perform the bond but there would be no guarantee that it would work fully." Dumbledore said looking at his former student.
"Before we do such a thing I think we should give Harry and Draco sometime to talk things over."McGonagall said rising from her chair along with the others as they departed from the room.
Dumbledore looked at the two before closing the door behind him as he led the others to the hall below.

Draco finally pulled away
enough to look up at Harry; he searched the emerald jewels looking at
him.
"Before you even ask, I'm going to prove to you that this isn't a dream" Harry said softly as he leaned in and gave Draco a soft but controlling kiss as he wasted no time slipping his tongue into Draco's mouth and coaxing his lover's tongue into a heated battle for control.
The blonde felt his knees go weak as he was lowered to the ground till he was sitting down with the boy who lived slowly pulling out of the kiss.
Harry panted softly as he looked at Draco taking in his beauty.
"If I go with you Harry my life will change drastically, my way of living will be so different then I'm used to" Draco said softly his cheeks were still red from making out a few minutes before.
The raven haired boy took Draco's hand in his and ran his thumb across the back of his hand "Are you going to be able to give up all that just for me, I don't want to rush you into something you're not ready to do." Harry said softly still rubbing Draco's hand.
Draco looked down at his hand being held and looked back up into Harry's eyes. "I'm willing to give up everything to be with you, my name, my money, and my social ties to be with you as long as we can." He said softly pulling Harry down into another kiss, his arms wrapped around Harry's neck.
The boys didn't notice the door open and the group return. Sirius looked at the two and felt a mix of happiness and unhappiness. He was happy that his godson was happy, but on the other hand he had chosen to be with someone who had ties to the dark lord.
Harry pulled away when he felt everyone's eyes on him, keep his arms around Draco he cradled him and started to rub his back out of habit.
Dumbledore looked at the two boys. "Have you two made a choice?" he asked his blue eyes were sparkling.
Draco looked over and smiled "I'm willing to give up everything for Harry, I love him and nothing anyone says to me will make me change my mind." The blonde said pulling away from Harry and getting to his feet and holding his hand out to his lover and helped him to his feet.
--
After a few minutes the
office had been redecorated with the colors of Slytherin and
Gryffindor. Red and green banners were laced together as they hung
from the ceiling as gold and silver lights twinkled softly around
everyone.
Draco looked over at Harry standing beside him, and then at the others in the room, Snape had been summoned since he was Draco's godfather so it was his duty to be there, his hand was resting on his godson's shoulder.
"As your godfather Draco I want to you to know that I'm here for you… especially if you decide to come to your senses" the potion master said walking back to his spot on the side of Draco.
Sirius glared at the potion master and for once kept his mouth shut as the headmaster and deputy headmaster stood before the group.
"We should hurry now, it's getting late and you all have to leave soon" Dumbledore said calmly as attention was turned to him. Harry and Draco moved into position as their godfathers took their places behind them much to their displeasure. Placing their hands on both boys' shoulders they waited for their part of the ceremony.
Dumbledore smiled at how two rivals had grown closer and given up all rivalry against one another to be together.
" Now we shall begin…Harry and Draco, you have decided to be bonded together in this most ancient of magical ways, in this form of magical marriage you have chosen to forsaken all others and love each other until your life has run its course and you are both put to the ground for eternal slumber. Is there anything you would like to say to each other?" Dumbledore asked calmly.
Draco nodded as he locked eyes with Harry. "I was in love with you from the moment I laid eyes on you, being sheltered my whole life I saw this scruffy person and it was like a stray Crup that needed all the love it could get. I wanted to just hold you right then and there and give you all the love that you wanted and needed. When I found out who you were at school I knew that it would never work. I never imagined I would be standing here besides you." Draco smiled softly "I swear from this day forward that I will no longer follow my pureblood upbringings to be with you. Nothing anyone says will make me want to leave your side ever. " He said softly as he blushed.
Harry smiled as well "If there were no separate houses I'm sure in the beginning we would have been friends, with all the talk of Slytherin being evil I never thought I would fall for someone who used to be my rival. Draco as a promise I won't let anything happen to you ever." The raven haired boy said calmly hiding the fact that his insides were in knots at that very moment.
The headmaster nodded to the potion master to begin his part.
Snape cleared his throat a bit "As godfather to Draco Malfoy, I Severus Tobias Snape hereby acknowledge and accept his love for Harry James Potter, in front of these witnesses on this date. Standing in place of his father, Lucius Malfoy, I give permission for this bonding and hope for
only good things to happen in this relationship despite my feelings of the past" Snape said finishing his part and looking over at Sirius.
The animagi wizard took a deep breath before starting "As godfather to Harry James Potter, I Sirius Black acknowledge and accept his love for Draco Malfoy, in front of these witnesses on this date. Standing in place of his father, James Potter, I give permission for this bonding and also only hope for good things to happen in this relationship despite my feelings of the past as well." Sirius said wanting to scrub his mouth out with a cleaning spell at that moment.
"Now Severus take Sirius's hand and leave the other on Draco and Harry's shoulders… good and then I take Harry and Draco's "Dumbledore said as he grasped both boy's hands gently. "May you two be blessed and be able to spend every moment together that you can in these dark times." He said softly as he released their hands and clasped his own long fingered hand together. "You two may now kiss to seal the bond between you" Dumbledore said with a smile
Harry's cheeks were dusted with a light blush as he kissed Draco, he could feel a small tingle of magic dance across their lips as they kissed.
Professor McGonagall dabbed her eyes and lightly blew her nose into a handkerchief that she had produced from her sleeve.
Lupin smiled as well, he waited for Harry and Draco to part before he spoke. "Albus we should be going now, I'm sure you will come up with a reason as to Draco's disappearance from school." The werewolf said as he looked at the headmaster.
"Before we go we'll need a way to get back to London without being seen, since Harry is supposed to be dead right now" Sirius said standing his ground.
Dumbledore only smiled as he picked up an old can and handed it to Sirius and made sure that everyone was touching it before he cast the portkey spell and waited a few seconds before the small group disappeared and reappeared in front of their destination an oddly numbered street, number twelve seemed to be missing.
Draco was about to say something when twelve Grimmuld Street appeared before them and they went inside quickly, the house disappearing once again between the other two houses. The inside of the house looked different from the last time Harry had been inside it was still a tad dark but the air didn't seem as heavy as it used to.
"Harry the room you stayed in last time has been set up, the bed though is only for one but I can change that it a split second before you turn in tonight." Lupin said going down the hall and into the sitting room that looked like a whole new room. Harry could feel his jaw drop a bit at how different everything looked. "It's amazing, this doesn't even look like the same room anymore" the raven haired boy said in awe.
Sirius chuckled and walked into the room behind the group. "We had quite a lot of trouble with distractions that popped up every couple hours; it took us forever to finish cleaning the place and making it livable. Why just the other day I was trying to get a sandwich when…" Remus quickly covered Sirius's mouth his face a deep red. "I don't think they should hear about our private life in such detail." He said with a warning gaze.
Draco stifled his laugh under his hand as the two older men left the room to have a possible long talk about proper conversations in front of their new house guests.
--
As soon as Sirius and Remus left the room Draco tackled Harry onto the large sofa that was against the wall. Straddling his narrow hips he looked at his lover and gave a smirk that would give dragons gooseflesh.
Harry shivered slightly as Draco attached his lips to the side of Harry's neck and worked on a single spot over and over again.
"Draco…ah, we should wait till later… when no one will walk in on us" Harry panted
The blonde pulled away and looked down "I waited this long and I thought you were dead, so you're not going to get out of it that easy. I plan to shag you right here and now." Draco growled out as he returned to Harry's neck continued to suck on it. Waiting for the right moment Harry flipped Draco off the couch and got up and looked down at him.
"I know of a better place" Harry whispered as he helped Draco to his feet and pulled him up the stairs. They made it up to the bedroom Remus had been talking about. As soon as the lock clicked, the blonde removed his shirt. Ever since he returned to school he still hadn't changed into his school clothes, his white shirt that had no wrinkles before was crumpled on the floor forgotten. Draco smirked and went over to Harry. "You're wearing too many clothes, I'm going to fix that right now" Draco said practically ripping Harry's shirt to shreds as he pulled it off.
Harry lifted the lighter blonde and felt Draco put his legs around his waist and rubbed their bare chests together. Moving toward the bed Harry laid his blonde angel down on the double bed as he kissed him and kept his body close to the blonde's.
Draco gripped the blanket in his fingers and moaned softly into the kiss. Neither boy decided to keep their voices down. Harry enjoyed the feeling of being the one in control in this relationship.
Going up the stairs Remus and Sirius heard muffled moans coming from Harry's room. Remus blushed lightly when he felt Sirius come up behind him.
"Looks like those two have the right idea, we should leave them alone for a while… remind me later to put a silencing spell on that room as well as ours" Sirius said standing outside the door an listening to the sounds coming from inside. Remus grabbed his lover by the ear and dragged him back to the living room. "It's not right to listen in on other people's activities… especially Harry's" Remus said his hands resting on his hips.
Draco reached up and pulled Harry into a searing kiss as he felt the rest of his clothes join the others on the floor. His pale features were stained red by the blush that was painted over his cheeks and neck as his lover's lips moved down to his chest and abs that had been toned from years of Quidditch. Draco couldn't help the fact that he was so sensitive to Harry's touches.
The blonde couldn't even former proper words or sentences; he had turned into putty under Harry's touch. Harry found this very amusing that he was able to pull these feelings and emotions from the ice prince of Slytherin, nipping at the blonde's neck Harry could honestly say that hearing his lover moan was quite a turn on.
"I love you Harry…" Draco whispered as he reached up and wove his fingers into Harry's silky hair.
Harry licked his lips that had suddenly become dry "I love you as well Draco… nothing is going to come between us." Harry whispered as he brushed his fingers over Draco's chest softly. By the time they had spent all their energy the sun had set hours before.
The room was filled with a silver moon light as the two teens were sleeping. Harry held the blonde close to him like a stuffed animal that he never wanted to let go of. He had to admit the best thing about being in hiding was that he was going to have many pleasant nights filled with some of the hottest sex he could imagine especially with someone as hot as Draco.

Dumbledore was sitting at
his desk when a strong wind ripped through the room and doused all
the light in the room. Pulling his wand out of his robes he relit the
torches on the wall. "You can come out of the shadows. I know you
are there, don't think just because I am an old man that I had
grown senile and didn't think you would show up Tom." Dumbledore
said calmly as he looked up from the letter he had been reading.
Voldemort stepped out of the darkness near the large wooden door and ran his head over his hairless scalp. "It is good to see you again Albus, I thought it would be fitting if we had one last meeting face to face for old time sake." Voldemort said as he moved forward till he was standing before the headmaster's desk.
"I know why you're here; now that Harry's gone you know your only other real threat is I. With my death you have nothing to stop you in taking over the wizarding world." The aged headmaster said as he looked at his former student with his piercing blue eyes.
The dark lord began to laugh as he reached into his robe and pulled his wand out "Nothing ever slipped past you, always ten steps ahead of everyone else I'm sure. Yet if you knew I was coming why did you not go into hiding?" Voldemort asked genuinely puzzled
"As headmaster of this school it is my duty to be here for the students to protect them from all types of evil just like you Tom. If you have come here to kill me then do it all ready, stalling only makes you look more scared of me." Dumbledore said confidently as he rose quickly from his chair.
Voldemort raised his wand quickly "Avada Kedava" he roared the rush of blinding green light filled the room momentarily before disappearing.
Dumbledore's fell back into his chair hanging off of it like a rag doll, his piercing blues eyes stared into nothingness at the floor. Fawkes flew over to his master and landed on the desk and began to weep at the death of Dumbledore.
Voldemort turned on his heal and left the office and the school as he left ground he cast the dark mark over the grounds and disaperated just as he crossed the gates into Hogsmeade.
Many students awoken by the bright flash of green light in the sky alerted the teachers to the dark mark.
Professor McGonagall ran to Dumbledore's office to tell him of the mark above the ground, upon entering she made the discovery that it was in fact the headmaster who had been killed.
Convening all the teachers into the headmaster's office the body was covered and the heads of the houses were told to get the students back to their beds and all the information would be told to them in the morning.
Snape swallowed the lump in his throat as he decided whether or not to tell his house what had happened, he knew that they wouldn't care that the headmaster had died but who had done it.
Going out the front doors he swooped down to the gate and disaperated from sight and appeared before the non-existent12 Grimmuld place and waited for it to appear before going to the door and banging on it.
Sirius had fallen asleep in the living room and woke to the bangs and went to the front door and opened it. "What the hell if your problem… Snivellus it's one in the morning, this better be important" the animagi grumbled as he let his rival into the house.
"Dumbledore is dead" the potion master said cutting right to the point, he was never one for prolonging news.
The Marauder looked down and cleared his throat "Come inside and I'll go wake Remus he should hear this as well." The man said as he went up the staircase to the master bedroom and woke his sleeping lover. "You need to come downstairs with me" he said trying to keep his emotions in check at the moment as they went to the living room to speak with Snape.
"What is going on here, its late couldn't this news wait till morning?" Remus asked as he yawned slightly.
Snape was standing by the window his back facing the two men "The dark lord has killed Albus; with believing that Harry is dead he of course went after the only other threat he had." The potion master said facing his former rivals.
"Albus must have known this…why didn't he set up more security?" Remus asked trying to stomach the fact that the man who had helped him so many times and who he had just seen hours before was now dead.
Sirius put his arms around Remus and held him close "I just wonder how we're going to deal with this loss now, especially when the world thinks Harry is dead as well." The animagi said solemnly as he looked toward the door.

Draco was sound asleep in
Harry's arms when he felt something warm under his hand; slowly
rousing from his deep sleep he rubbed the warm substance between his
fingers. Reaching for his wand he lit the nearest candle and saw his
hand was covered in blood. Looking over at Harry he was bleeding
from multiple wounds. Shifting over in his sleep Harry vanished in a
puff of smoke and was gone. Malfoy screamed for help and sat up in
bed. That was the moment he realized he been having a nightmare.
Covered in sweat, it took the blonde a moment to realize that he no
longer was at Hogwarts but a safe house that he had gone to, to be
with Harry.
Looking for real at his lover he smiled to see him safely sound asleep in the bed next to him, his wonderful green eyes closed softly in sleep.
Climbing out of bed the blonde went to his trunk and pulled out his black boxers and his silk green robe and put them on. Leaving the room silently, Draco walked down the stairs till he heard muffled voices coming from the living room.
Creeping closer to the door the blonde heard his lover's name. What are they talking about Harry for…? I thought he was safe here. Draco thought as the door was suddenly opened and he stumbled into the room.
Snape looked at his godson who had been eavesdropping outside the living room door. "Draco, Potter has seemed to rub off on you all ready" the potion master said noticing his godson was wearing a robe.
Draco looked away for a moment "He's sleeping right now; you can't be serious about moving Harry again. We're safe here aren't we? Dumbledore said he would be" Draco said wringing his hands together. Does the dark lord know where we are?" he asked softly.
Snape shook his head "No but it would only be a matter of time Draco…I know you love him." The potion master remarked.
Sirius and Remus took the chance and snuck out of the room and headed for their private room so they could catch up on their sleep. They also wanted to give Snape some time with his god son.
Draco looked at his godfather with a small smirk on his face "There is something I need from you I want you to brew me a potion. I know you won't want to but I need this" Draco said as he pulled a slip of paper out of his robe.
Snape took the paper and looked at it closely and nearly dropped it right there, looking at his favorite student and godson he sighed softly. "Have you really thought this through?" he asked and waited for his response which was a nod of the head.
"Are you really sure you want to take this big step so early in this relationship? What if he turns out to leave you for someone else?" the potion master asked as he pocketed the small scrap of paper.
The blonde nodded again "I love him and he loves me, this would be the perfect step to really make our lives whole. Besides you know as well as I do that I would need to start taking the potion now for it to actually work perfectly. I'll say this so you can understand it professor, I want this potion so that I can have his baby grow inside of me I want to have a child with Harry Potter" Draco said getting a slight pout on his face.
"You really want a baby with me Draco?" a voice asked.
Draco spun around and came face to face with his lover and swallowed hard, the raven haired teen was wearing a red robe that barely brushed the top of his knees and the front was left open so it was pretty loose and revealed his toned abs. Draco was at a loss for words, he really wished his godfather would leave so he could shag his lover again.
Snape cleared his throat and walked past Harry " I must be going now" He muttered as he left the house and apparated back to the school a light tinge of blush on his cheeks at the sight he saw.
