Unbreakable Ties

By So Yun

Chapter Three

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Jus before the door slammed shut, Lucius Malfoy looked up and stared at Harry. Harry flinched at the look he could decipher in the cold, grey depths; it was a plea for help.

The door swung shut loudly Chapter 2, Unbreakable Ties.

Pale and shaking Harry boarded the boat with Snape and Draco, watching the black ocean ripple with waves. Snape stared at Draco with a foreign look in his eyes.

He had never known his Godson to be so malicious; sure he knew Draco wanted to see his father. But he had a tiny inkling that maybe Draco had wanted to say more than that, obviously not.

As he finished contemplating Draco's situation he turned to look at Harry carefully. The boy's eyes were widened slightly and his hands were shaking as they held onto the bow of the boat. His skin was a nasty pale colour, more so than his own.

He assumed that the teen was just shaken from being inside the prison. Everyone knew that Dementors affected Harry worse then most.

In silence they got off the boat as it slid up onto the sandy bank, then Severus put a gentle hand on each of the boy's shoulders and apparated them away.

Draco did not even stumble as they landed, though Harry did and he had to grasp Severus's robes to stop himself from falling further. Once he had righted himself he looked up and found himself in the face of his enraged Godfather.

Uh…Oh…

"Black." Severus managed to say in a civilized tone while Harry managed to stammer, "Sirius," quietly.

Draco merely looked away, petting his robes so unwrinkle them from the apparation then left the room, without so much as a thanks.

Harry unconsciously started stepping backwards, remembering his Godfather rage over the last incident. Snape held an unnaturally tight grip on the teen's shoulder, so much it was beginning to hurt.

Harry winced as Sirius seemed to be bearing down on him and he stumble backwards into his other guardian's robes.

"Where the fuck have you been?!" The question was more pointed at Snape but somehow Harry felt it was directed at him. He shook his head at his Godfather, his trembling lips not willing to speak.

Sirius took another step forward, his stride terribly impatient and he took no notice as the boy trembled before him.

He raised his arm, massaging his knuckle as if to punch the taller man in front of him, "Well? So help me god, if you don't tell me! I've been looking everywhere for you for two hours!"

Again Harry flinched fully thinking that Sirius was terribly angry at him. It wasn't until he leaned back so far into Severus that the older man had to support him did Sirius stop.

A concerned expression came to rest on his Godfather's face, completely wiping away the angry look. Sirius softened then moved forwards, his hands stretched out in peace.

"Oh Merlin Harry! I'm so sorry; I didn't mean to scare you!"

Harry managed a weak smile and leant forward, relieving himself of Severus's support, "No Harm done. But Sirius I'm sorry we didn't tell you where we went,"

He managed to put "We" in the apology hoping his godfather would accept them all for leaving without saying. But it seemed it was unfortunately not what Sirius thought.

"It's alright Harry, Snape here, as the responsible adult should have told me immediately. But it seems here that he has decided to keep things from me, such as the whereabouts of my own godson," Sirius said in a menacingly low voice, threatening and intimidating to Harry but to Snape he was merely nonchalant.

Harry frowned and move in between the two men. He remembered very much what had happened last time he had jumped in. But he hoped that with hesitation the two guardians of himself would remember the incident to and hold back.

It seemed they did, Sirius and Snape had stared at each other quite dangerously, ready to lunge forth and beat the hell out of each other. But then Snape noticed Harry standing between them, his whole demeanour fell and he stepped back gently.

"We visited Lucius Malfoy on Draco's request. You do know how stubborn their friendship is and I could do nothing and wouldn't have wished anything to prevent Draco Harry's support. I apologize for not informing you so,"

Snape managed with the last scrap of dignity before nodding at Harry and leaving the room. He didn't need to face the other man after saying that, the nerve!

Harry managed a small smile at Snape's dignity to perform such a speech on the behalf of Harry's safety. Sirius grimaced as if begrudgingly accepting before smiling at Harry.

"Next time, please do inform me. Not matter what Snape says, okay?" He said softly, looking intently into Harry's eye, who was not quite at eye level for him, but would soon be within a few birthdays.

Harry nodded earnestly; he had decided that this guardianship was a matter of teamwork and sharing. He wouldn't ever listen to either man's judgment against the others again.

Sirius smiled then nodded at the door, "Better go find Draco, he looked pretty sulky after seeing that git of his father."

Harry nodded unconsciously, he himself thought his best friend more triumphant than sulky. That reminded him of the somewhat strange encounter he had endured with Draco's father at Azkaban. He couldn't quite shake of that piercing look in the older man's eyes that had captured his attention.

He would forget it for, it was quite irrelevant. He just hoped Draco was in a better mood; hopefully they could go flying again.

XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx

Draco had definitely been in a better whilst they had been flying. This had lifted Harry's spirits greatly; though Draco had been in a fierce competitive mood that Harry hadn't seen for months. But he merely played along until it became quite clear that if Draco didn't win, he make himself win.

This in itself seemed strange to Harry, this had been one of Draco's worse qualities before he became friends with Harry.

But the other teen merely brushed it off, he guessed his friend was just venting his inner worries about seeing his father again, let alone being in that godforsaken place.

Harry was looking forward to going back to classes the next day, Hermione and Ron had spoken to them a few times while they had been at Hogwarts but he was actually looking forwards to spending quality time with the two.

He was starting to get sick of haughty, angry Draco even if he were his friend; he hoped that the blonde haired teen would get over it soon.

But it seemed not.

Harry and Draco had gone back to classes and Snape teaching. Harry was spending lesser and lesser time with Draco, quite thoroughly sick of his "Slytherin" attitude. This made Draco quite angry but he took to sulking and following Harry everywhere.

Ron and Hermione shrugged it off; of course Harry came first to them, even before their newly found friend.

One day, in charms Harry, Ron and Hermione were mucking around and Draco sat off in the corner, sulking quite obviously like he usually did nowadays. Until Harry decided to sent a pillow flying at Draco's head perhaps to cheer him up.

But then it backfired as a messy haired, haughty looking Draco flung the pillow back and charmed a heavy book from Flitwick's desk at Harry face.

Harry nose ended up breaking with a crack and he managed with dignity to hold back a howl as it sprayed blood everywhere.

"What the hell is wrong with you Draco?!" Ron shouted as he ushered his best friend towards the door, the tips of his ears red as he looked dangerously at the Blonde haired teen.

Draco just smirked and ignored him. He could regret that later.

Ron put a protective and supportive arm around Harry and half pulled, half dragged him through the corridors. He could tell that inside his friend was howling in pain, he knew what a broken nose felt like.

The twins had accidentally broken his when he was younger, a prank gone wrong. He remembered howling in pain, bawling his eyes out, no dignity what so ever like Harry somehow held.

Harry seemed to be slipping into shock as he trudged forth, his hands cupper to capture the stead fast leaking blood; his skin pale, nearly making the raven haired teen transparent.

Ron slowly found himself becoming the only one hauling, his best friend nearly fainting. Quite close to the hospital wing Harry's eyes rolled into the bag of his head and he collapsed against Ron, his bright red hands smearing blood everywhere.

Ron growled, angry at the thought that Draco; who Harry thought as his nearly equal best friend to himself, had done this.

Soon after a few small steps, Ron found that he could not attempt to pull his friend any further. He ended up sitting Harry, slumped against a wall gently and hurrying off to find Sirius in his private apartment near Remus's.

When he finally found the man (snoozing by a window with an upside down book) he had been quite scared and felt a small tinge of sympathy for Harry. The older man was quite rabid with concern mingled with anger as soon as he had heard what Draco had done.

He had immediately asked to be taken to where he left Harry and then was scolded lightly for even leaving the other teen in a deserted corridor alone and unconscious. Ron guessed that the events of a few months ago still plagued Harry's godfather.

When they came upon a still unconscious Harry, Sirius picked up the limp, pale body with a bit of shock grimace on his youthful face and carted him off to the hospital wing; Ron trailed behind.

As soon as they entered the hospital wing, Madam Pomfrey shooed them away from the bed as she set to work with blood replenishing potions.

"So…Draco Malfoy, supposedly one of Harry's best friends, did this?" Sirius queried with a calm exterior but Ron knew his interior was trembling with anger.

The red head nodded, cautiously answering, "Yeah, but maybe he was just mucking around…" Ron trailed off; he had clearly seen the triumphant smirk on Draco's face as blood sprayed from Harry's nose. It almost seemed like…Draco had gone back to his usual self.

Finally Harry woke up shakily, touching his nose gingerly feeling it was back in the proper place and no blood was seen, although if he had held up a mirror he would have seen a bruise around his nose, but a white line across the bridge of his nose.

He also looked paler than usual.

Ron smiled at him as he put his glasses on and Sirius sat down beside his Godson. He also smiled at Harry and decided to say nothing further about the issue, though he would have to tell Snape what his Godson had gone.

At lunch time Hermione came into the hospital wing to collect the two, Madam Pomfrey had begrudgingly let Harry go. But she had an inkling he would be back and had thought to herself that there wasn't any point in letting the boy go.

Sirius nodded at Harry before retiring back to his apartment for lunch. He fully meant to tell Snape afterwards then find the little prat and give him a good telling off.

During lunch Snape caught sight of Harry's pale complexion and motioned that his charge see him immediately after he finished eating. Harry gravely nodded back and took a glance at Draco who sat a few people up; smirking while he at, not even bothering to look at Harry.

The raven haired teen scowled at the blonde haired boy and threw his lunch down, ready to complain to Snape as soon as could.

But as he got up, so did Draco and Harry soon found himself making his way down to the dungeons with Draco not far behind.

Harry finally swivelled around, near his guardians quarters and said cautiously, but with enough venom in his voice, "What is wrong you, you sodding prat?! You broke my nose and you don't even care! What kind of friend are you?!"

Draco merely petted his hair and smirked again, this just made Harry even more infuriated.

"For Merlin's sake, answer me! You're acting like a…like a Malfoy!"

"Oh but I am a Malfoy, Potter." Draco spat back sarcastically, his eyebrows raised. This made Harry so angry that he felt the magic around him crackle with intensity.

He then had minor flashbacks from what had happened last time his magic had gotten out of control and managed to calm down.

This made Draco grin and he stepped closer to the other teen, "You're a coward, I broke your nose on purpose and you don't even have the guts to fight me for it,"

This was the last straw for Harry. Entirely fed up with Draco's new attitude, he lunged.
