Chapter 8: Angelic Heart

The clock in the kitchen was ticking loudly along with the crackling fire; Remus was always an early riser ever since he was a child. His morning routine hadn't changed once since he started living with Sirius. Standing in the kitchen he sighed softly as he decided what to put out for everyone for breakfast. Pulling his wand out of his pocket he waved it over the table.

Giant piles of toast and eggs were sitting on the table along with pitchers of orange juice and milk. Waving his wand once again the food was instantly warmed up and waiting for the others to wake up, going up the stairs to the hallway he climbed the second flight of stairs to his and Sirius's room.

"Wake up Sirius, breakfast is ready and it's going to get cold if you take too long." The werewolf said as he felt something big and furry tackle him to the ground and licking his face. "I'm guessing you want to be taken outside for a while, I don't know if that is really a good idea at the moment. If Voldemort ever finds out that Harry is still alive, then everything will be for nothing. No place is really safe right now, no one other than us can know he's alive right now. Other's knowing put them in danger." The former professor remarked petting Sirius's neck out of habit.

Pushing his lover off of him Remus got to his feet and made his way to Harry and Draco's room and knocked on the door. "Harry, Draco, breakfast is ready… you should hurry up before it gets cold" Remus said going down the stairs and heading into the kitchen to wait for everyone to come down and eat.

Harry slowly woke up and nuzzled against Draco's shoulder and smiled at the still sleeping angel beside him. Getting out of bed he slowly made his way to the bathroom and started up the shower to get clean before starting his day. Looking at his reflection in the mirror in front of him, letting out a sigh Harry turned and stepped in. Harry was so hypnotized by the warmth of the water he didn't notice his lover slip in behind him until a pair of arms were wrapped around his waist.

"You came in here to shower without me? That is very inconsiderate of you Harry; I may have to make you suffer for a while." Draco remarked as he mapped out every ridge of Harry's bare chest from behind. The blonde made sure to miss Harry's nipples to tease him.

Harry turned around and pushed Draco against the wall and locked eyes with him. Leaning in for a kiss the hot water suddenly turned to ice. Nearly jumping out of his skin Harry fell out of the shower with Draco landing on top of him.

Draco started to snicker lightly "Now I have you right where I want you" Draco leaned down and kisses Harry showing all his passion and love in one kiss. Harry kissed his lover back with intense passion, when his scar began to prickle slightly he ignored it and broke the kiss for air.



"We should go down to breakfast before Sirius and Remus eat it all" Harry whispered as he pulled Draco into another kiss before sitting up and holding Draco close to him. Draco grabbed his robe from the floor beside them and put it on and got up from Harry's lap.

Heading out of the bathroom Draco swung his hips in a seductive manner as he left the bathroom.

Harry sighed softly as he got to his feet and put his robe on. Suddenly his head felt like it was splitting open. Letting out a pained yell Harry fell against the wall. During his blinding moment of pain Harry saw flashes of images that made his stomach turn.

As soon as it began it was over, the boy who lived grabbed onto the sink and pulled himself up to his feet.

When Harry finally made it downstairs in the kitchen Remus and Draco were talking about creatures of the dark arts. Rubbing his forehead a bit the raven haired Gryffindor sat down next to his lover and started to talk with his godfather.

"You know, very early this morning we had an interesting wakeup call." Sirius chuckled taking a large bite out of a slice of toast.

Draco instantly clammed up and turned a deep shade of red and looked down at his plate.

Remus smiled slightly "No need to worry, we weren't too bothered by it… just one of us wanted to do some snogging. I'm sure you can guess who that was." Remus said grabbing another slice of toast.

Harry looked at his godfather and as he ran his hand through his hair. "How did you ever get through seven years of school with him?" Harry asked looking over at Remus.

The werewolf shrugged his shoulders and took a sip of his coffee.

Sirius laughed and grabbed his lover and pulled him into a kiss and licking some of the remaining coffee off the werewolf's lips.

This action received a couple laughs from Harry and Draco. After that breakfast went on without a hitch.

--
Upon opening his eyes Snape realized that he hadn't been dreaming. He was still chained to the pillar in the dark room. Letting his eyes adjust to the light he looked around to see who was guarding him, when he saw no one he struggled to get free.

"Severus… you're not going anywhere anytime soon, I'm just waiting for that one special person to start snooping around to find you." Voldemort said with a smirk.



Snape glared at the dark lord "I may have followed you, but I was shown a better life. I would rather die than spit on the memory of Dumbledore by helping you for real. I will protect the one person who can defeat you until he is ready to defeat you." the potion master said struggling again.

Voldemort could only laugh at the man that was detained before him.

"You can try all you like to protect the Potter boy but in the end he will fall and I will become the ruler of the magical and muggle world. Now I think you need to practice your bowing before me." Voldemort said as he reached into his robe for his wand. With a quick wave of the wand Snape was free from the invisible binds.

His legs weak from holding his weight all night finally gave out as he fell to his knees before the snake man in front of him. "Don't think that I'm lowering myself to bowing to you" The former double spy said coldly as he waited for his legs to wake up once again. Once he regained his strength he stood up.

"You might as well kill me now; Potter would never risk his life to save mine." Snape remarked taking a deep breath as he stared down the dark lord. The potion master knew that without his wand he was defenseless.

--
When breakfast was over Harry and Draco went to the sitting room to be alone for a while. Draco had one of Remus's books on the study of defending against the dark arts. The blonde always found reading a way of passing the time, especially when there was nothing else to do.

Harry laid his head on Draco's lap and slowly nuzzled his leg as laid out on the couch. The fire in the fireplace crackled softly keeping the room warm. Looking over at the fire Harry's mind started to drift as he was hypnotized by the flames.

Draco's hand slid over and slowly ran his hand through Harry's unruly hair; his finger twirled a small group of strands over and over again. He was so entranced by the chapter he was reading that he didn't notice Harry had moved and was currently sucking on his neck lightly.

The blonde continued to read pretending not to notice that Harry was trying to flirt with him. He bit his lip lightly to hold in a moan that had started to erupt from his throat.

"Harry, we should wait till later… I mean we don't want your godfather and Remus to think we're shagging every moment of the day." Draco remarked finally unlatching his lover from his neck.



Just as Harry was about to speak Remus walked into the room with a somber look on his face. "There is something that I need to tell you Harry, Last night… Dumbledore was killed last night; Somehow Voldemort was able to get into the school." Remus said taking a seat on the wing backed chair.

"How is that possible, Hogwarts is supposed to be the safest place in the magical world other then Gringotts, this has to be a sick joke… how do we know that this isn't a plan to go into hiding as well. Maybe he faked his death…" Harry said hearing his voice cracking a bit.

Remus shook his head "Harry he's gone… if he was doing this to go into hiding he would have told someone." The werewolf said putting his hand on Harry's shoulder.

Harry got up from the couch and left the room, he slammed the door behind him as he ran down the hall. Harry threw away all cautions and ran out the front door and went down the street into downtown London. He jogged down the street till he reached the doorway of the Leaky Caldron.

Waiting till the street was empty Harry pulled out his invisibility cloak out of his pocket, ever since his second year he always kept it with him. Throwing it over his head and shoulders he slipped into the pub and made his way toward the back courtyard. When he arrived he waited until another aged wizard opened the doorway to Diagon Alley.

Going down the cobblestone street Harry made sure he didn't bump in to anyone, though the street seemed eerily quieter then when he went to get his books and supplies in the summer.

I guess during the school year this place is pretty empty especially this early in the morning.Harry thought as he made his way down the street.

As Harry walked down the street he had to stop short to keep from running into his father in law Lucius Malfoy. Taking a step back he stood in the empty alleyway and let out a soft sigh as the elder Malfoy walked right past Harry and headed down the dark road of Knockturn Alley.

The Gryffindor knew that he would be able to return to Hogwarts if he went down the dark alley.

--
Draco sat on the couch in tears he was worried about his boyfriend who had run out into muggle London when he was supposed to be dead. Draco wanted to run after him but he had no idea where to go, the only time his pureblood feet set foot in London was when he was going to Hogwarts, even then he was brought to the train station by his parents who apparated him there.

Remus sat down next the blonde and put his hand on Draco's shoulder. "It might not be too safe but I'm going to take Sirius outside and I hope he can find Harry's scent. You should wait here Draco." The werewolf said as he moved his hand from the blonde's shoulder.

Sirius came into the room in his dog form, a large leather collar around his neck and a leash dragging behind him. His tail began to wag behind him as he waited for Remus to take him out.



"Please just bring Harry back here; it isn't safe out there in muggle London, especially when he is supposed to be hiding from the dark lord and his followers." Draco said folding his hands in his lap.

Taking the leash Remus led his lover out the front door and down Grimmuld Street following the scent that Harry had left behind. Sirius followed the scent to the Leaky Caldron and pushed the creaking door open with his wet nose.

Tom the old bartender looked over at Remus and smiled at him with his missing toothy grin. "Morning… can I get you anything to drink? Or maybe a bone for that handsome dog you have there?" Tom asked as he continued to clean a glass.

Remus shook his head and smiled "No thank you, I actually have to get going, maybe some other time" the werewolf said as he went into the back courtyard and pulled out his wand and tapped the bricks till the doorway opened up revealing the shops of Diagon Alley.

Sirius let out a loud woof as he practically pulled Remus off his feet as they went down the street at a quicker pace. Going down the cobblestone street Sirius had to decipher thousands of scents to find the one he was looking for. Stopping short he started to circle in place trying to find his godson's scent. Going a few steps farther he caught the scent on the wind and headed to where it was coming from.

Remus noticed they were heading straight for Knockturn Alley, pulling back on the leash he slowed his lover down as they entered the darker street.

Lucius was about to step into a shop when something behind him in the reflection of the glass caught his eye.

"I never thought I would see you down here, though I can understand that you might try and come here for companionship after all you are all alone. One friend is dead, another not so much a friend and your boy toy is running from the Ministry. If you want friends so bad I'm sure that the dark lord could have some use for a washed up werewolf like yourself." Lucius said with a smirk.

Sirius let out a deep snarl, his teeth barring at Lucius for insulting Remus. Moving forward he kept snarling, his dog ears pressed right against his head.

Remus pulled on the leash trying to hold Sirius back as he continued to snarl at the elder Malfoy.

"I suggest you subdue that mutt before I am forced to send it flying back down the alley" Lucius said drawing his wand out of his robes.

Knowing that Lucius was serious Remus knelt down and hugged Sirius around the neck. "Calm down now, good boy...quite now" the werewolf whispered into the giant black dog's ear as he started to scratch his neck in a spot he knew calmed Sirius down.



Harry stood against the wall and watched as his godfather was getting ready to attack Lucius Malfoy. Moving over Harry put his hidden hand on Sirius's head and waited for him to calm down.

Lucius put his wand away as he shoved past Remus. "Oh if you are looking to speak with Severus I will pass a message on to him" the elder blonde said as he gave a smirk and disaperated from the man in front of him.

--
Sirius turned his head and panted happily and looked right at Harry and yipped as he felt Harry's invisible hand pet his head.

"Harry… do you know how dangerous it is to be out here" Remus whispered to the invisible boy beside him as they left the dark alley and left Diagon alley and went back into muggle London and back to the hidden 12 Grimmuld place.

Draco was waiting on the couch, hoping that Harry would return to him safely.

Upon entering the house Harry pulled his cloak off and went into the living room, he looked at Draco sitting on the couch and moved over and sat on the floor by the blonde's feet.

"I love you Draco… I just want you to know that incase anything happens to me. No matter what anyone says to you. You are not your father; you never have to become him ever." Harry said reaching up and taking Draco's hand and holding it softly.

The blonde was confused, he wondered if his lover was saying goodbye forever.

"Harry what are you saying? You're not leaving me are you?"Draco asked very worried at that moment.

The raven haired teen stood up and leaned in for the sweetest kiss that Draco could ever have. His hand slipped up into Harry's hair and pulled him closer.

Harry pulled away for air; his hair was twice the mess it was earlier.

In the other room Sirius had his boyfriend cornered against the wall and was in the process of giving him a hickey on his neck.

"Siri…us…" Remus whimpered out as he gripped the other man's shoulders tightly, wanting to push him away but with no strength behind it.

This made the animagi want his special werewolf even more then he did ten minutes before. He didn't care who heard them at the moment as long as he got to snog his boyfriend for a very long time.



--
After a quick lunch of sandwiches and pumpkin juice Harry had challenged Sirius to a game of wizard's chess. One game had turned into ten and ten into thirty. By the time Remus had called them for dinner it was an even match of forty wins each.

Draco had fallen asleep watching the two play chess which wasn't smart, when the blonde woke up he had little ink drawings all over his face courtesy of Harry and Sirius who just couldn't resist.

Cleaning up with a cleaning spell Draco had decided not to speak to Harry at dinner that is until Harry kissed him and made him forget all his anger. When Harry stuck his tongue down the blonde's throat, Draco forgot everything and nearly fainted on the spot from how hot the kiss was.

Remus cleared his throat separating the two teens before they ran out of air. He didn't want to have to explain to anyone at St. Mungo's why Harry Potter who was supposed to be dead was passed out from snogging his boyfriend Draco Malfoy.

Dinner continued with pleasant conversation and finally ended with a small toast to Dumbledore with lemon squares covered in lemon drops.

Sirius didn't care for the lemon drops so every time Remus was turned away he spit the lemon drops into the fireplace causing the fire to whistle and crackle from the candy breaking up.

"If you don't like the candy then put it aside, you are like a child sometimes I swear" Remus huffed reminding Harry of his friend Hermione.

When dinner ended and the kitchen was cleaned up Harry took Draco to their room and lay on the bed with him and held him close to his chest. After a while Draco's eye lids became heavy and he slowly drifted into a heavy sleep.

Harry waited until he was sure Draco was sound asleep before sneaking out of the room and going back to the kitchen. Once inside the kitchen he checked his pockets for his wand and invisibility cloak. Removing his glasses he pocketed those as well before grabbing a small handful of floo powder and tossing it into the dying fire

"Dumbledore's office" He said clearly and stepping into the bright green flames.

The rushing wind in his ears and the spinning was enough to make him sick if he didn't keep his eyes closed.

Once arriving in the office Harry stepped forward out of the fire and sighed quietly glad that the office was dark and no one was there. Pulling his glasses out of his pocket he put them on and removed his invisibility cloak from his pocket as well. Donning the cloak Harry felt safer.



Leaving the office and entering the halls of the school, Harry traveled through the dark halls to get to the entrance hall.

When he arrived the emerald eyed teen stopped and looked around the hall. Seeing that no one else was around Harry removed his cloak and slipped down the stairs toward the dungeons where Snape's private chambers were.

"Well, well seems Snape wasn't lying though how could he with the Veritaserum we gave him. The dark lord isn't happy that you're still alive Potter" Balise said stepping out of the shadows and drawing his wand quickly. Harry pulled out his wand ready to fight off the Slytherin "Expelliarmus" Balise yelled out, disarming the other teen.

Harry glared at the other teen "So are you going to earn favor points with Voldemort by bringing me to him so he can try to kill me again?" Harry asked with a smirk on his face.

Balise stood with his wand pointed at the boy who lived.

"You're not going to win him over this way, not to mention that I've already shagged him…Draco is mad for me." Harry said egging Balise on, only to receive a punch in the face from the other teen.

Harry chuckled as he spit some blood onto the floor. Tightening his hand into a fist he threw a punch at Balise to knock him back.

"When you're dead Potter, I'll be there to comfort him and make him mine" the Slytherin teen said re-pointing his wand at the boy who lived.

"Locomotor Mortis" Balise cried out causing Harry's legs to bind together. "I'm going to make sure that you are dead this time around, before you die you should know that Snape never gave up where you were once. It was almost like he wiped his mind of where you were being hidden." The teen said smirking as he punched Harry in the stomach hard.
