Chapter Five
At first Dumbledore looked at Frank and Alice with surprise and then asked "the potion did that didn't it?' Neville nodded and Hermione asked "did you two create it as I haven't seen it in a book anywhere?" Neville replied "we found cures to a lot of things and found the common ingredients and went from there until it was right. We actually snuck a rat that was to die because it had gone mad from Filch to test it on" Dumbledore beamed and asked "do you have the recipe for it?" I nodded and replied "a potion that useful headmaster what an insult to think I would be that stupid" everyone laughed until Mrs Weasley informed us that the food was ready. Mrs Longbottom smiled and thanked Mrs Weasley. I smiled and Neville whispered in my ear "thanks Harry. This means more then anyone but you can know" I nodded and whispered back "it was a pleasure Neville. We all need our parents. Not many can know except you and I who grew up without them" he hugged me and then sat between his parents and I smiled and joined my family. Mum said "well done Harry. I think you have given Neville a new look on life" I replied "mum he helped so much the night when I nearly lost Sirius that I did this as a thank you" she smiled and Luke whispered "I think the meal is better for him though bro" I nodded and started eating.
Halfway through it I stopped and said "Albus he is here" Dumbledore nodded and we went to the front door.
When I walked outside Voldermort said "what no one to help you?" I replied "just because you once possessed me doesn't mean I let you in my head now" he frowned and out walked my parents Dumbledore Sirius and Luke.
Narrator viewWhen the five new people walked out Voldermort suddenly fell to the ground in pain. Harry smiled and said "you have no reason to be here now be gone" and Voldermort vanished. The only person to stay was Lucius. Harry asked "what is your problem?" Lucius replied "he has Draco. He has bugged Severus so he knows what Draco did and about your relationship. I may not like you but I love my son and want him to live" Harry nodded and Lucius had a tear and continued "I don't know how to save him. I think he is almost dead" well Harry froze and in thought said to Draco "how are you?" "terrible babe. Voldermort has arrived and wants to kill me" well Harry suddenly lit up and brought Draco to where they were. Draco collapsed into Harry's arms and Harry checked him over and healed the wounds. Lucius smiled and said "thank you Harry. I am glad Draco has you" Harry smiled and said "you better get out of here and look worried about not knowing how Draco is" he nodded and vanished. Dumbledore watched as Harry picked Draco up and carried him into the house.
When Harry walked in Neville stared at him in horror and gasped "you're helping him?" Ron replied "it's ok Neville it seems they are together" Neville replied "but he was cruel to us all" Harry replied "Neville his life is now in my hands. I love him but I need somewhere to lay him so I can finish healing him" Mrs Longbottom smiled and lead Harry to the couch where Harry laid Draco out and healed him. The entire group watched as Harry and Draco stayed frozen in time for an hour until the glow that surrounded Harry faded and both boys stirred. Draco was the first to speak by saying "where am I? Last I remember Voldermort was saying the killing curse because I gave Harry Peter Pettigrew" Harry replied "it's ok Draco. We are at Neville's grandmother's house. You need to stay there and relax as I had to do some deep healing to save you from dieing on me" everyone turned towards the two teenagers and stared at Harry whose eyes were glowing with an immense green fire. Dumbledore smiled and said to Lily "he has come into the power we anticipated" Lily nodded and Harry asked "what does that mean?" Lily laughed and said "you are a descendent of Godric Gryffindor" "tell me something we hadn't figured out after I was able to use Godric's sword" Harry injected "well it was prophesised by Godric that one of his descendents would have a power greater then his. Tom didn't know that you were that child and mixed with your mother's sacrifice it gave you the protection that saved your life fifteen years ago" Draco smiled and said "he had come into it a lot as last year ended so I got him to do wandless magic. We know wand magic is traceable so we decided he needed to know all his duelling spells in case Voldermort attacked and after that we went to the Patronus. That took him a whole two seconds to do and sure enough out came his beautiful Stag. He taught me how to do it and I have a Dragon" Dumbledore smiled and replied "well I am glad you two thought ahead and Draco you will have to thank your father for your life. Harry I will find the bug before you see Severus again as I think it is only active when you are near him" Harry and Draco nodded before they both fell onto the couch in a deep and peaceful sleep together. Dumbledore carefully made the couch a bed and left the two boys to rest and joined the others at the meal table to finish the meal.
When Harry and Draco woke up, the next day, both boys were ravenous and went to the table in search of food. There was plenty but a note also. The note said Harry and Draco, we have returned to the hideout. Once you have both eaten Harry take both of you to the room and wait for me there. Lily
Well neither boy waited for more they started eating and enjoyed the time alone.
When they were finished Harry felt Voldermort arrive and said "Draco he is back" Draco nodded and the two boys walked outside to face him.
At first Voldermort laughed when the two boys walked outside and stood there facing him wandless. He cast the Crucio curse but Harry put his hand up and sent the curse back and it hit Voldermort and he was on the ground in pain an was unable to stop the spell so Harry and Draco sent him and his Death Eaters back where they had come from before going to Grimmauld Place.
Sirius said "you two took your time" Harry smiled and replied "we're very hungry and then we got an unwanted visitor. He is back where he belongs under his own Crucio curse" Sirius hugged both boys before saying "I am sure you two need more rest so you will be sleeping here for now. I know you say you aren't tired but I can see the exhaustion in both your faces. Oh and Draco your mother sent an owl with a bracelet that she says you will know what to do" Draco smiled and said "well done mister Potter you have gotten my mother in the engagement mood" Harry smirked and replied "well I think Draco Potter sounds wonderful" Draco picked up a pillow and tried to throw it but it seemed glue to his hands. Both boys laughed before accepting the drink from Sirius and then fell asleep locked together.
In the kitchen Lily said "Harry and Draco have made fun of the engagement even though they were waiting for it" James smiled and replied "I think Harry was cheering Draco up dear" Sirius nodded and said "that is right James. They do look peaceful together I wonder if they will remember that it is Luke and Harry's birthday tomorrow" well all the adults said in unison "shit I forgot all about that" whereas Hermione said "I am glad Ron let me get Harry's gift from us and I am sure Draco has something for him" the adults glared at her except for Sirius who was on the floor laughing and added "I had it ready two nights before I went through the archway" Luke said "I am prepared also. I am replacing the owl he lost to have me" well the rest of the adults left the house and went to buy gifts that matched Luke and Harry's personalities.
They all returned late in the afternoon and hid the packages in their bedrooms but neither Harry nor Draco awoke again that day.
Harry awoke the next day when Draco kissed him and whispered "happy birthday sexy" Harry smiled and pulled Draco back under the blankets and the two boys made love until they heard people stirring upstairs. They were both blissfully happy when Sirius walked into the room and said "I am sorry I gave you the sleeping potion yesterday" Harry replied "Sirius it's ok I think Draco and I needed it. I am very sure that if you didn't neither of us would've slept" Sirius smiled and then said "well happy birthday Harry. I know I wasn't the first but second is ok" Harry laughed and said "thanks Sirius. You're right he did get in first but that is right seeing as we are to be engaged very soon" Draco swiped Harry and said "you like that don't you?" Harry grinned and replied "you are mine Draco and this is proving it to the world. So get used to it" Draco laughed and said "well seeing as you put it so delicately I can't fight it now" Harry smiled and pulled Draco into a hug as Sirius left the room laughing.
In the kitchen Lily was busily working with Molly to make a huge breakfast to celebrate Luke and Harry's birthday.
As Sirius walked in Lily asked "how is he?" Sirius replied "Let's just say the one person that he needs at this moment is with him making a fuss over him" she smiled and gave Sirius a list of things to do.
When Harry and Draco finally joined everyone in the kitchen everything was ready and they were all waiting for Harry to enter. Harry was speechless when he saw it all and turned to Luke and said "happy birthday" Luke laughed and said "well I guess for once you can fuss over me seeing as you have Draco there do so for you" Harry smiled and sat down. Lily was soon dishing so much of everything onto Harry and Draco's plates that they both had to forcefully stop her. James laughed and said "get used to it you two she is always like this on special occasions" they both laughed and said "we like to eat a little of everything but not have it all on our plates at once" that made everyone laugh.
After breakfast Lily lead everyone into the drawing room that was now full of presents for Luke and Harry.
Both boys went at it opening presents. Harry gave Luke an Owl, which made Luke laugh when he gave Harry an Owl. Most of Luke's presents were things he would need at school whereas Harry's were a mixture of everything. Harry left Ron and Hermione's present as well as Draco's presents until last. Sirius had given Harry a cloak that was encrusted with emeralds and on the inside was a picture of Sirius. Harry smiled and placed the cloak on emerald side up. From Ron and Hermione it was a defence guide and a broom repair kit and finally from Draco it was a necklace that was a Dragon and Griffin joined together and on the back it says 'Harry, happy sixteenth. Love always your Dragon, Draco' Harry placed it on and smiled at Draco. Then Lily came forward and said "Harry and Draco we are to meet the Malfoys in half an hour. So Harry you and Draco better go and get ready" well both boys raced up stairs, Harry's new cloak straight out behind him.
It took both boys twenty minutes to finally be ready and get back to the drawing room. James stared at his son and said "well at least you will make a great impression Harry" Harry smiled and the four left Grimmauld Place to meet Lucius and Narcissa at the agreed meeting point.
