A few weeks later….

Lying beside the love of his life, Draco was having another one is his odd dreams, he couldn't figure out what it was but each night that he dreamed he saw something more of what was happening. He had been having this dream since the night the was turned but the feelings and images of his dreams somewhat scared him because they were of Harry and himself and he could not figure them out.

'Alone, that is all that I am, for centuries I have lived this life of solitude and no longer am I able to cope with the darkness that is desperately trying to take me in. I know that I have many responsibilities to many people around me but I can no longer take the pain. It kills me to succumb to the darkness but I do not think that I have any other choice for it. What else am I supposed to do…live? Live for what? What purpose do I have left in this life? I have waited for many years but I sill have not been graced with presence of my Soul Mate, I've been told that I would be able to feel their presence, but I have had no such luck. I know that I have been tied up fighting this war, but you would think that I would find the one that is supposed to bring light in my darkened soul. I see many of my friends after they had found their Soul Mate and I see the happiness they have been given, and I desperately would love to be able to have that in my life, but I just can't take the loneliness any longer. The only thing that will bring happiness to my dying and darkened soul would be the killing yet warming warmth of the sun and it's destroying rays of light.'

Walking out onto the deserted cliff, a young blond man overlooked the beautiful and serene picture that stood before him. An ancient looking castle stood strong before the world, it seemed as if that was the last holding place that was keeping the evil of the war at bay. He knew with his death it would be a great blow to the people of his world but didn't it ever occur to anyone that he needed something in his life besides this damnable war. The dark blue and purpling sky was beginning to show shades of orange of its horizon. A tingling sensation went down the blond mans' back telling him of the coming dawn, but he knowingly ignored it. A silent tear slid down his face, the loneliness was overbearing in his soul. Looking down at his watch he saw that he only had about twenty minutes before the dawn…

As a dark haired boy aimlessly wandered down one of the castle hallways barley coming back from the Restricted Section of the Library, he was bumped from behind by a cloaked figure. He quickly drew out his wand and was about to stun the intruder but decided otherwise and began to follow the person. He trailed the person as they made their way down the Grand Staircase and to the entrance of the castle. Silently he followed the person as they slipped through the doors and made their ways across the grounds. Trying desperately to keep up and not make any noise was a much harder feat than he could have thought possible. 'Who could this person be, they aren't even tiring out yet?' The boy still managed to follow closely behind the unknown person as they made their way up the cliff. Once they were up on top he quickly went behind a few trees as the figure stopped on the side of t he cliff. Closely he watched the person as they looked toward the soon to be rising sun. Holding as still as he could, he watched the figure before him pull back their hood, the boys heart nearly seized when he realized the blond hair that came falling around the head of a certain Slytherin. He could see the pain that the boy was in, and his heart went out to him. He could not figure out why he was feeling like this about the boy, because for six years they have hated each other, yet now the was feeling for the boy, unknowingly he was feeling what the blond boy was feeling. All he wanted to do at that moment was comfort the hurt that was vibrating off the boys' body. 'Please don't hurt so much' the boy thought.

The blond boy just stood there, waiting for the light that was going to take away the pain that he was feeling. He could no longer wait for the release that he was going to be given. He had no idea that someone had followed all the way from the castle. He thought he had managed to block out everything from his mind until a silent plea came across his mind, 'Please don't hurt so much.' His silvery blue eyes suddenly shot wide as he received the message.

'Why would it matter to you, you have no business to even know what I'm feeling or anything about me for that fact.'

'Well I'm sorry, but the sadness that is coming off you is overbearing'

The blond man stood there in complete shock, how was he communicating telepathically with someone that he didn't know when the only people he could talk to like this were his friends and family…unless…

'Why are you here?'

'I followed you.'

The blond man became suddenly enraged by that last comment. How dare someone follow me, I'm a Malfoy, and Malfoys do not get followed.

'How dare you follow me!'

'Excuse me, but you ran into me. I had not intention of following you, but I wanted to know who could be up this late at night feeling as awful as you do.

The blond boy stared the intruder, "I don't understand this, I'm not supposed to be able to talk to someone like this unless….." A dawning expression swept across the young mans face. Not being able to take feeling that were raging up inside the young man he quickly ran past his supposed to be mate.

Draco suddenly woke up from his dream. He was lying next to his life mate, Harry Potter in the Head Boy's dorm room. He quietly slipped out of bed and got dressed. He needed to talk to someone about the dreams he was having and there was only one person beside Harry that he could trust and that person was no other than Severus Snape, his godfather. He left the dorm and went straight down to the dungeons. Once he was there he knocked on his godfathers' door. After a few moments the door opened to a black silk pajama clad Snape.

"Draco" drawled the Potions Master, "What in gods name do you need at this time of night."

"Sorry Severus, but you said I could always come to you when I need help." Draco replied.

"Come in." Snape said standing aside for the blond.

Draco walked in past his professor and took a seat on the couch. He watched his godfather close the door and walk over to the chair and take a seat. He then drew out his want and summoned two cups of tea.

"So Draco what is it that is bothering you that cannot wait till a decent hour."

"Well, I told you about the dream that I have been having right." Draco said looking at Snape. When the man nodded he continued. "Well it seems as if the dream is about me and Harry." Draco was suddenly cut off.

"Please don't tell me anything that is sexually about the two of you. I would rather not have that picture etched in to my mind."

"Its not."

"Then you may continue."

"Its as if I'm reliving my past life some how or something. I feel like I'm centuries old and I know that I'm supposed to be getting ready for some huge fight but I just don't feel up to it anymore, then someone follows me out of the castle and as we are taking up on the mountain side, I feel like they belong to me somehow. The two people look almost exactly like me and Harry do. Snape sat there and pondered the information, then like a brick hit him in the head he suddenly realized what it all meant.

"Draco, I need to do a little bit of research about this and talk to Dumbledore, but what ever you do, DO NOT let any of this information leak out." Snape said standing up.

"What is it about?"

"I will tell you when I get more information." Snape replied. "I will call you if I find anything."

"Thank you Sev." Draco replied walking over and hugging his godfather. The older man hugged him back.

"You also might want to let Potter know about what is going on." Snape replied, "He might be able to get Granger to help you look it up."

"Ok Thanks." Draco said as he left the room.

Snape quickly walked over to his fireplace and threw some powder into the fire and walked in. "HEADMATERS' OFFICE"

Dumbledore sat in his chair and watched his fire place turn green and watched as Severus Snape walk out.

"Sir, I need to talk to you about Draco."

"Ahhh, how is young master Malfoy doing?" The headmaster asked.

"He is doing well sir, but I must tell you what he has just told me. I believe it will help with the upcoming war that we are getting ready to face."

"What information did the young Malfoy give you."

"He has told me about some dreams he's been having. He told he it looked like him and Potter but it didn't feel right. He said that he felt older and so alone, until Potter came to him upon the mountain side and then he realized that it was his life mate." Snape said retelling Draco tell to the older man.

Dumbledore sat there for a few moments before he replied, "So the prophecy is true, the gates of hell are yet again going to open."

"Will they have to sacrifice themselves in order to save the world?" Severus asked

"According to legend….YES"

A look of horror and sadness went across the potion masters face as the thought of loosing Draco and Harry. Even though he still didn't like him all the way, he knew he was beginning to Like Harry Potter and the thought of loosing the two boys killed him inside.
