Harry slowly opened his eyes as the sunlight from the window illuminated the room. Carefully, as not to wake Draco up, he removed Draco's hands from his body. He got up from the bed, putting on pants and made his way to a large mirror hanging on the wall.

He stared at his own reflection. He brushed his hair out from his face, revealing a lightning blot shaped scar on his forehead. He turned his back so his back was facing the mirror. He turned his head slightly to look at his back. A tattoo of a dragon resided on his back. They were Draco's way of owning Harry; his marks.

Everyday, Harry would wake up and stare at his own reflection with a blank face. It was like a routine for him.

He closed his eyes and turned away. He went to the bathroom to have a shower. After he finished and got dressed, he walked to the large mirror again. This time, he sat down on the floor and began to braid his long hair. His hair had reached his waist. Draco never allowed him to cut it.

He got up as he finished braiding his hair. He made his way out of Draco's chamber and headed to the library. The place he had spent his time in for years.

He opened the library's door and found a maid cleaning a bookshelf. The maid looked up at him when she heard the door open, she then bowed and stopped her work and got out from the room. Every one knows that Harry liked to be alone, most likely Draco had made an order for them that no one could speak or even be in the same place as Harry. The only one Draco trusted to be with Harry alone was Sebastian.

Harry sat down on a sofa near a bookshelf. Beside the chair, there was a long table Harry used to put his book on and eat his food. Sebastian always brought him breakfast and lunch, knowing that Harry woulfn't bother to eat in the dining room.

Harry didn't read anything; instead he began to day dream. His mind wandering back to the man he met yesterday. He smiled at the thought, but immediately frowned. He could not meet him again. It was nice to have someone besides Sebastian to talk too. Not that he talked to the old butler often.

Draco would have a fit and most likely kill the man if he knew about it.

He got up from the sofa. He opened the window and sat on the balcony. He could see the garden from there. He looked up at a fluttering sound and saw a bird flying in the sky. He looked longingly at the bird. He remembered when he was still child, wishing that he had wings so he could fly. Draco had smiled warmly at him when he told him about it.

Flashback

It's been 2 years since Harry had come into Draco's life. After a few months, Harry had come to trust Draco completely. Draco treated him like a spoiled little kid. Even Sebastian had to remind him that Harry had been bought to be a servant. Draco had scowled at him and told Sebastian that he will treat Harry as he wish.

He taught Harry how to read, act, how to speak, even though Draco doubted he would let Harry talk to other people besides himself. He also taught him how to ride a horse, and many other things.

"This is a bird" Draco said, pointing at the book that had a picture of a little bird.

"Bi…rd…" Harry repeated.

Draco smiled, "Yes, a bird, a white bird" Draco made a gesture of a flying bird with his hands.

Harry did the same motion. "Bird…"

Draco ruffled his hair, a gesture to show his affection. He smiled warmly when Harry smiled happily, Harry liked it when he did that.

The next morning, Draco woke up when someone called him "Master, master Draco"

Annoyed when someone disturbed his sleep, he sat up and snapped at his butler "What?" he glared at Sebastian.

"This has to be important for disturbing my sleep!"

Sebastian had a look of worry on his face "Harry is missing young master." Hearing this, Draco bolted up from his bed, fully awake.

"WHAT?" he screamed.

"I was about to wake him up like usual, but he's not in his bed, nor in his room." Sebastian explained. Panicked, Draco ran out from his room to Harry's. He slammed the door open and became more panicked when Harry was indeed not there.

"Search through the whole mansion! Tell everyone to look for him. And we will not stop searching until he is found!" Draco told Sebastian. The man nodded and ran to do what his told.

3 hours later, they haden't found Harry. Draco became scared for the first time in his life. He sat on the couch in the living room with his head on both of his hands.

Sebastian looked at his master worriedly. He had raised him since he was a little. And he never had seen the expression on his master's face right now; fear.

It seems that, ever since Harry had come into his life, he changed. And it was for good. Harry managed to make Draco do something he never did. Smile, even laugh at some jokes.

A sudden yell broke his thoughts. "Master! I had found him!" one of the servants exclaimed. Draco immediately stood up and rushed to where the servant led him to.

They arrived at the mansion's backyard. It was a very big garden; there were a few big trees and many plants there. The servant pointed at one of the trees. Draco narrowed his eyes and saw a glimpse of black hair.

The next thing Sebastian knew, his young master had climbed up the tree. His knees weakened and he fell to the ground with his jaw open wide at the sight of Draco hesitantly to doing something that would make his clothes dirty.

After Draco arrived at the treetop he saw Harry peacefully sleeping on the branch. Draco sighed in relief, he closed his eyes and released the breath he had been holding

"Master? Are you okay?"

Draco looked down at Sebastian. He silently told Sebastian to be quiet with a finger on his lips. He mouthed the word 'ladder' to the old man.

Sebastian nodded and told the other servant to bring him a ladder. The servant quickly rushed off to find one and came back shortly.

Carefully, Draco took Harry in his arms and climbed down the ladder. When his feet touched the ground, Sebastian offered to take Harry but Draco shook his head no and took Harry to his chamber. Gently he tucked Harry into bed.

Green eyes blinked sleepily and met a pair of silver grey eyes. Harry smiled at Draco who smiled back.

He sat up and rubbed his eyes. Draco took out his handkerchief and wet it, he wiped Harry's face with it.

"Why did you climb the tree?" He asked him softly after he finished cleaning Harry's face.

Harry smiled happily and held out his hands in front his face. He made a gesture of a bird. Draco arched his eyebrow "Bird?"

Harry grinned and nodded "I want to catch a bird!"

Draco smiled warmly at him "Hm? For what?"

"I want to pet them" Harry said.

Draco smiled and gently ran his fingers in Harry's hair "Why don't we go tomorrow to a pet shop and buy one for you?"

Harry bounced happily in the bed "Really!" Draco nodded.

"Really"

Harry threw his arms around Draco, "Thank You!"

"Anything for you Harry…" Draco whisper as he held Harry close.

The morning after, Draco took Harry to a pet shop as he promised him. They bought a very beautiful snow white bird. Harry gave the bird the name Hedwig.

End Flashback

Harry tore his eyes from the window and looked at the other side of the room. There, in the corner of the room, stood an empty birdcage. There was no longer a bird inside the cage.
