"So who was that handsome vampire I saw this morning?" Draco asked jogging beside Harry.
"My mate," Harry replied dreamily.
"Oh?" Draco asked with his eyebrow raised.
"Well, soon to be mate anyways," Harry answered with smirk.
"Name lover boy?" Draco teased as they jumped over the tree branch in the middle of their trail around manor's yard/forest.
"Marcus," Harry answered smiling.
"Am I going to have to keep asking questions or are you going to spill?" Draco huffed.
"Fine, Marcus is part of the Volturi. He is here until the end of war or unless I can convince him to stay and be my mate. His lips and body are divine although he hasn't enjoyed life in a while," Harry told Draco.
"What makes you say that?" Draco asked glancing at his best friend practically brother.
"His eyes remind me of when we were first starting out as friends," Harry said quietly glancing at Draco.
Draco was silent for a while lost in thoughts of the past as they ran their laps.
*Flashback*
"Where are your so called friends Potter?" Draco sneered.
Harry just looked at him with no fight or life in his eyes as he answered, "In order to have friends, there must be mutual feelings of liking them. Those that are paid to like you are betrayers and scum. Excuse me I have class."
"Hey Potter if I offer you my hand again will you accept it?" Draco asked confusing even himself with the question.
"If you can forgive child's naivety?" Harry questioned.
Draco simply nodded and held out his hand. Harry gripped the hand firmly and Draco swore he saw some sort of life in the green eyes before they were once again dull.
*End Flashback*
"What are you planning to do to bring the life back?" Draco questioned. It had taken him as well as adoption from the Dark Lord and all of his adopted uncles to full bring back the spark fully into Harry's eyes and motions.
"I'm not sure, so far ruffling his feathers and shocking him have been working," Harry shrugged ducking a tree branch.
"huh, maybe you should take him shopping or start leaving trinkets for him," Draco suggested knowing that Harry wouldn't have thought of it since he has never shown an interest in anyone and wouldn't know how to actually court someone.
"You! My brother is a genius! Speaking of genius, remember how we wanted to prank the Idiots?" Harry asked glancing at Draco.
"Yeah?" Draco answered brows furrowed before he exclaimed, "No way you figured out a way?"
"Yep, we just need to speak to a few of the shopkeepers," Harry replied grinning manically.
"Which you know they will agree ever since you gained your inheritance you have been doing nothing but pumping money back into Diagon Alley, if you asked them to shun Dumbleass and his idiots you know they would!"
"I know Dray, I also have most of the seat holders in my hands," Harry added as they came into the courtyard.
"That's why your father wants you to contact future Allies, you have a way with people," Draco stated with a laugh as he stretched his legs.
"Its only because I have helped dad changed his plans for the wizarding world that they listen. Anyone could see that balance is the key," Harry replied haughtily before stretching out his arms and back.
"Unless you're a light blinded moron," Draco snorted bending down to reach his feet.
"Basically," Harry laughed copying Draco motions.
In the manor on the second floor study a certain vampire was watching the two young men talking and laughing as they go their exercises, listening to Lord Voldemort talk about how many vampire spies they would need with Lord Malfoy.
"If we have three for now, we would be able to cover Hogwarts as well Diagon Alley and their headquarters," Voldemort said ticking off his fingers.
"Then later we would call for more reinforcements before the big battle?" Lucius asked with his eyebrow lifted.
"Correct, we shouldn't need too many considering that we have werewolves, veelas, goblins and several others thanks to Harrison," Voldemort replied and Marcus could hear the pride in Voldemort's voice.
"So Marcus would that be acceptable? Three vampires for right now?" Voldemort asked looking at Marcus who in turn was still looking out the window watching his mate.
"That shouldn't be a problem seeing as we have been bored for quite some time," Marcus replied blandly still watching Harry as he wrestled his blond friend.
"Excellent! Well now that we are done recruiting, we will start working our way through the Ministry changing even more the laws to make things legal," Voldemort said rubbing his hands together with an evil glee.
"My lord, I believe that Harry has already been working on that," Lucius answered with a bit pride in his voice as well. Harry has been charming everyone that meets and using the Pureblood manners, Lucius and Severus have been teaching him.
"Really? Even though he has been away on recruiting missions?" Voldemort asked skeptically.
"Indeed since he gained his titles and inheritance he has been charming all of Diagon Alley as well the politicians. He truly has way with people unless they irritate him," Lucius explained.
"They don't know him as my son?" Voldemort questioned with a quizzical expression.
"No, they just know him Harry Potter, Savior of Wizarding World. No one believes him dark or if they do, they aren't against it. I know that one of these days, Harry is going to need to actually give a statement on what side he is on though," Lucius turned thoughtful for a moment before continuing, "Actually he should give a press release about being dark but good, then our side could have a chance at being understood or supported with more support with the bills we are trying to pass."
"There will still be a war though Lucius," Voldemort said thinking that if anyone could sway the public's mind it would be his son.
"No doubt, since Dumbledore and his minions would never just openly accept the dark," Lucius agreed.
"Would that be safe?" Marcus asked from his spot by the windows.
Voldemort and Lucius jumped slightly, they had forgotten that Marcus was still with them.
"Safe?" Lucius echoed.
"Yes would that be safe for Harry to expose which side he is on?" Marcus reiterated. He didn't want his mate to be in danger. After holding Harry close last night, Marcus had decided that Harry was his mate. Now he just needed to work on showing his emotions to Harry instead of his anger. Looking back at grinning Harry who had just picked up a sword and was facing off towards Draco, Marcus felt like smiling.
Voldemort and Lucius were struck silent was they saw the small smile etched on Marcus's lips.
Clearing his throat, Voldemort was the first to recover and answered, "We would set it up so that he would be protected of course and Harry is not a weakling."
Lucius snorted and muttered, "especially when Alaric comes out to play."
Frowning Marcus turned to look at the two and asked, "Who is Alaric?"
Lucius paled slightly remembering that Marcus was a vampire as Voldemort smack Lucius upside the head and hissed, "Luciusss."
"My apologies, my lord," Lucius said with a slightly bow.
"Alaric is a secret that only a few people know excluding Harrison. If you want to know I suggest you talk to Harrison," Voldemort explained while glaring at Lucius although, he couldn't be too angry considering that having Marcus around was like having family around.
Harry was holding the tip of his sword at Draco neck smirking as he ask, "Yield?"
Panting Draco muttered, "Bloody wanker."
Harry pressed the tip closers and Draco called out, "I yield you bloody imbecile!"
Grinning Harry removed his sword and offered a helping hand to his friend who took it gratefully. Looking up he saw Marcus watching him from the windows and gave a smile and a small wave before teasing Draco as they walked into the manor shower and change for the day.
Two hours later four devious minds were plotting and a shiver ran down Dumbledore's back as he popped a lemon candy into his mouth.
