Sorry I haven't been able to get on and update recently but my laptop and all my disks with the stories on were stolen when someone broke into my house and I've been unable to access a computer, let alone one with internet, for ages I've had my friends checking things but as I have said I've been unable to write anything until now, I've finally managed to get myself a new laptop so I'll be back to writing my fanfic additions now sorry for any inconvenience
As for the gap between this chapter and the others I have suffered a huge writer's block on how to start the chapter but I've sorted that now and here it is, I apologise hugely for the delay and the next chapter should be up soon as well
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Last Chapter:
"I'm going to need your shirt, when I remove the knife you'll need to quickly press it against the wound, press down on it but not too hard, just enough pressure to stem the flow, you alright with that?" he asked the pale boy
Draco glanced up at him briefly then back to Harry's face, his ears low as he stared at the pale face of the boy who had given him a reason to keep going, even if he'd only known him for one day, taking a deep breath he nodded
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Draco glanced at the pale boy asleep on his bed, his breathing soft and even, unlike several hours ago when he had been fighting for his life, the once flush face now pale and drawn from blood loss and whatever pain his body was still feeling
"Are you sure he'll be fine?" Draco asked, still staring at Harry's peaceful form as he directed his question to the four figures stood in the doorway, unable to enter his room due to him not inviting them, the old magic of the castle preventing unwanted intruders from entering
The tallest male with black hair exactly like Harry's but with bright blue eyes sighed from his position leaning against the doorframe, arms crossed over his chest
"Lily said he would be and she's the best medic of this era, she knows what she doing, thanks to your help along with Remus' quick thinking the damage wasn't too great and he'll be fine in no time, in fact he should be waking up soon," he explained, a small smile on his face at the worry evident in the pale beasts body posture
Draco relaxed slightly and finally turned towards them, suspicion evident upon his face. "Who are you guys exactly and what relation are you to Harry? You seem to know him but how?" he asked the four adults, taking in their appearance for the first time
The first two were the ones who first showed up to help Harry, the first had shoulder length scraggly black hair and grey eyes, standing at about five foot ten inches, the other had short light brown hair and deep murky green eyes, he had a rough appearance about him as if he spent a lot of his time out in the wild
The one who had spoken to him looked almost exactly like Harry which scared Draco slightly, but the woman next to him had long red hair and green eyes that could almost match Harry's they were a formidable couple when stood together, which furthered his suspicions that they were together, the woman who he knew was called Lily smiled warmly at him
"Well, you know that I'm Lily, this man here is my Husband James, we're Harry's parents although we were cursed shortly after his birth and prevented from seeing him until he turned eleven, even then we were unable to be with him in our human form until he hit his inheritance, the others are Sirius Black, Harry's Godfather and his partner Remus Lupin, we are animagus, the strongest of all the wizards left in this world, I am a fire fox, James's is a crossbreed between a Unicorn and a Horse, Sirius a black Hound and Remus a gold Wolf," she explained happily, grasping a hold of James' hand as she talked to further prove her point
Draco stared at them in shock. "You're Animagi? But . . . I thought the legends said they'd all become extinct?" he gasped out, his silvery ears stood straight up as he turned all his attention to them, all oblivious to the slowly awakening form on the bed
"True but we're all from very powerful families that had stayed hidden within the deepest forests for centuries gathering our power and resources in the hopes we'd be accepted back into society, it was your family that hunted us to turn us into slaves years ago and one of us that cursed you for your ignorance to our plight," James continued, avoiding looking at Draco directly
Draco looked like he wanted to say something but they were all interrupted by a low groan from the bed, the four in the doorway drawing as close as possible as Draco spun around
oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo
Harry groggily woke as he heard voices around him, in his disoriented state he was unable to understand what they were saying but he knew that they were talking about something serious from the hinted tones of their voices he could pertain
Blearily he opened his eyes and waited until his vision cleared before looking around, he vaguely noticed four figures in the doorway but it was the figure sat beside him he recognised instantly, the reason being the long silvery tail protruding from his behind and resting gently against his left hand, smiling he attempted to sit up but was stopped by a rippling wave of pain spreading from his abdomen, causing him to fall back with a low groan
Immediately the conversation around him ceased as they all focused on him, he felt a cool hand press against his forehead and opened his eyes to stare into concerned silver eyes barely an inch away of the pale creature he knew as Draco
"Harry? How are you feeling?" he asked quietly
"Like I've been ripped apart and used for mince meat," he said with a small smile as he felt Draco's hand slowly move to sweep his hair from his eyes
"Don't joke Harry, you almost died out there," Sirius said from the doorway causing Harry to jump at his voice, he motioned for Draco to help him sit up which allowed him to see all four figures in the doorway
"Who are you?" he asked, sure he recognised them but positive he'd never seen them before, he watched as the one with long scraggly black hair grinned
"You won't recognise us in these forms but how about these," he said before turning into a black dog, the others following his lead, Harry watched them in shock unable to say anything as they turned back as well
"Siri, Remus, Lily, Prongs? How?" he asked in amazement
"Draco, let us in the room, please," Lily said quietly, Draco looked over at them and frowned slightly
"Only Lily, this is my room after all," he sighed, Lily smiled and stepped into the room, quickly making her way to Harry's side where she sat on the bed and grasped his hand gently
"Thank you Draco, Harry, let me explain everything, I'm your mother, Prong's is your father, and the others your godparents but we were cursed for trying to befriend the Malfoys while they were hunting our people, Draco here is the last of the line, his parents were killed and left as spectre's by the families of Hogwarts and Dumbledore, the same one who cursed Draco and us," she said calmly, taking Harry's hand in her own
Harry frowned as she explained "Then why wasn't I cursed as well?" he asked, wondering where he had been when these people were cursed
"You were secretly visiting your Aunt Petunia and Cousin Dudley, you were both a year old at the time and your Uncle Vernon was very adamant that he didn't want you near him or his house, so you'd meet at our house in Godric Hollow, which your Uncle seems to have claimed for himself," the man he called Prongs answered
Harry sighed and raised a hand slowly to rub at his forehead as he felt a headache starting to form, as his arm reached his forehead he winced harshly and his hand flew to his stomach, eyes wide
"What happened earlier?" he gasped at the rippling waves of pain passing through his body and he became aware of its point of origin, his stomach
"You ran when I asked about your hand, and from the look on your face you must have suffered a flash back of something, but you ran through the woods and crashed into someone, escaping from him you ran back and crashed into me," Draco explained, "The man began to use magic and since today is still your birthday your magical inheritance saved you from his spells, but he then went mad and stabbed you in the stomach claiming that he 'wouldn't let us have what was his,' he also said you were pregnant," he sighed his ears lowering to his head slightly in distress as the memories of what happened a few hours earlier returned to him
Harry sat there in shock before he rolled away slowly from his mother and curled in on himself under the sheets, a small whimper leaving his lips
"Lily, please leave the room, I'll watch him, you'll find Minerva in the hallway ready to escort you to your rooms," Draco said quietly while standing, she nodded in understanding and left the room, closing the door behind her, when Draco was sure the door was shut he slowly approached the bed and sat on it, reaching forwards he rested his hand on Harry's shoulder, when all he got was a sniffle in response he carefully lay down on the bed behind Harry and curled up behind him, feeling him stiffen suddenly
"I'm not going to do anything I promise, just relax Harry," he sighed, resting his head on the back of Harry's neck, he was surprised when Harry rolled over and looked at him directly
"I'm sorry about earlier, I didn't mean to make you angry . . ." he started but was silenced by the small smile on Draco's face
"Forget about it," he smiled, then leaning forward he tucked his head under Harry's as he curled up closer to him and allowed the sleep he'd been evading for days to overtake him, Harry quickly followed
