Affair of the Heart
Chapter Twelve
It was the last Hogsmeade weekend before Christmas and Harry was with Ron and Hermione getting another present for Draco, he had already gotten a number of things, but he kept seeing little trinkets or books that he knew Draco would like and brought them. Ron and Hermione were shaking their heads at their closest friend. He had gotten Theo a protective cloak to wear, Harry wanted their new friend to be protected.
Draco was on the other side of Hogsmeade with Theo. The two were looking for presents for Harry and Hermione. They had already gotten something for Ron, but Hermione was a little more difficult that the gangly red head. Draco wanted to get something else for Harry other than the Rare Defence book he had found, it was written by James Potter. Only so many copies were made and he was lucky he had found one.
Pansy and the others were rotting in Azkaban after their attack on Draco in the Slytherin Common Room, they had confessed to being Death Eater's, under Veritaserum. Draco had been moved to a room near Severus' quarters, Theo had also been moved, he was now in Ravenclaw, after being resorted the day after the attack. He had asked to be resorted, as he didn't feel safe within Slytherin no more.
The two, one Slytherin, one former Slytherin now Ravenclaw walked around the small village, which was covered in snow. They went in the bookshop where Draco had found the book by James Potter. He thought about what Hermione may enjoy reading, she always had a book she learnt from, something with information inside. He went over to the Wizarding Novels wondering if the bushy haired witch had ever read one.
He went over to the crime novel section and looked through them. He came to one he thought looked interesting. He picked up off the shelf and read the back. The book was written around the time of when the school was built, what people didn't know was that the name Verna Carla Owwen was a anagram for another name (1). This one was set in Hogsmeade, just as it was beginning to take shape.
"Hey Theo listen to this, 'With Hogsmeade taking shape darkness approaches in the form of a serial killer. When the teachers wander off the grounds of the newly build Hogwarts. They leave the safety and enter a world of death. Can curious seventh year student Tiernan Cavera and his bride to be Lovica Wrenlow follow the clues to find who is killing their professors, before another does not make it back Hogwarts.' Do you think Hermione would like it?" Draco asked as he held the book out to his friend to have a look at.
Theo took the book and read the back, he opened it to a random page and a model of a crime scene took shape about the page. Theo closed he book and look up and smiled. "I think she will, if nothing else she will be wanting to find out the spells that caused that effect." He told his friend.
Draco nodded smiling, knowing that Theo was right, even if the brown haired wizard didn't know the young witch that well, she was not that hard to figure out. He took the book back from Theo and went over to the counter and paid for the book. He went back to his friend and they walked out of the bookshop. They walked down the street to the trinket shop.
They were about to enter the shop when they heard several pops around them surrounding the entrance to the shop. Draco and Theo tried to get inside the shop, but were bounced off, a shield was in place in the doorway stopping them from letting them in. Their wands were out, as they had to defend themselves from the various spells cast towards them.
They fought for their lives while other began to help the two. Someone grabbed Draco from behind, they had come out of the shop. Draco felt something hit him on the head and he knew no more.
Harry watched as someone grabbed Draco and hit him. Harry fought with Ron and Hermione beside them but was unable to get to him before the Death Eater's apparated away.

Draco woke up cold and in pain, his head throbbing in time with his heartbeat. He looked around and noticed that he was in the dungeons of Malfoy Manor. The door to the cell opened and revealed a figure he could do without seeing. "Well my boy, time for you to finish the punishment that was started before that traitor took you away." And after those words were spoken another was sending pain through all of his nerves.

Harry rushed back to the castle and went straight to the dungeons where his father was sitting in his living room reading his favourite novel. "Dad!" Harry called as he rushed through the portrait guarding the quarters.
"Harry?" Severus questioned as he son came in, a little blood on his clothes. "What happened to you?"
"It's not me I am worried about, Death Eater's have Draco, please we have to get him, we have to go now!" Harry shouted as Severus spotted a few unshed tears.
"Harry, we will organise it, please keep calm we can not go rushing into things, we don't know where he was taken. I will go and talk with Albus, you wait here." Severus told his son as he held him close, trying to give him some comfort.
"No we have to go now. Merlin knows what they are doing to him." Harry reinforced his standpoint.
"No you will stay here. We will have information about Draco soon enough, do not worry, he is stronger than you think." Severus said, as he finished he silently summoned a vial of sleeping potion. "I'm sorry Harry." He whispered and he uncorked it and then poured it down the unsuspecting Harry's throat.
Harry chocked down what was shoved in his mouth. "Wha…" he said as he started to sway a little.
"A sleeping potion, I know that you will try and go by yourself if I leave you alone, the only way I can hope to keep you safe a little longer it do use it. I am sorry my son, I don't want to lose you so soon after finding you because you used your normal Gryffindor ways." Severus said as he picked up the half asleep young man and carried him into his bedroom and laid him down on the bed, the sleeping potion competed its work and Harry was fast asleep.

Dream"Daddy!" a voice called somewhere in the house Harry had found himself in.
"Where are you?" he asked as he looked around the empty living room.
"Right behind you daddy." Said the little girl that had been in his dreams since the summer. The little girl looked at him with one silver blue eye and one bright green eye. "You have to get Papa. He is hurt, you have to save him." She said as her eyes filled with tears.
"I can't wake up, my father used a potion on me to put me to sleep, I can't wake up." he told her wanting to cry himself at the thought of losing Draco.
"Silly Daddy, you have to will yourself awake, the power comes from the Snape line, an immunity to potion if you will it. Wish yourself awake daddy and you will. Will power is very powerful daddy." She giggled a little bit.
Harry smiled brightly at her. "Do you know where you Papa is?" he asked her.
"Yep. In Malfoy manor in the place he fears the dungeon."
"Thank you sweet heart," he said, as he was just about to start willing himself awake.
"Wait daddy you need to remember one thing when you see snake face, remember me. Remember Nana Lily and Grampa James." She said with a smile.
"Alright." Harry said softly, taking to heart what his future daughter told him.
Harry willed himself awake again and again, letting his need to find Draco fuel that will.
End Dream
Harry sat up in his father's bed, his father still not around. He looked at the clock that rested on the bedside table and noticed that he had only been asleep for a few minutes. He got up off the bed and started to get ready to leave. He went out of Severus' quarter after leaving a note on the bed. He went to the gates and willed himself to be with Draco. With a pop he left.
