Disclaimer: Not mine, okay? Don't sue me I'm totally povo.

A/N: One chapter left, sorry about the wait. I've been grounded. GRR! Next one is about 8 pages long, but it won't be out until next Saturday at LEAST because I can't get on the computer until then because of homework and stuff.

After writing a quick letter to his father, Draco showered and dressed, only to find that Harry was already waiting for him with his own letter in hand.

After posting their letters, the boys got ready for a lazy Sunday.

This, however, was not meant to be. As soon as Harry and Draco had sat down beside the lake, a messenger owl from Dumbledore's office came to tell them that they were both needed in Dumbledore's office.

"Dumbledore spoke without a twinkle in his eye;" This was serious," "yesterday, there was a very big burst of magical energy. We presumed this came from Draco's transformation, but the magical signature isn't Draco's. Nor is it Harry's. So, we have drawn the conclusion that you either have physically bonded, or your mental bond is too strong for you to handle. Another outburst like this could cost several lives. I am sure you don't want to put your fellow students in jeopardy. This is why we propose a restriction on your powers, just for a few days, until we are sure you aren't putting anyone in danger."

"What about classes? Will we still be able to go to them?" Harry worried about how far his grade would slip, should he miss any potions classes.

"The restriction won't block out all of your magic, only about half of it, so we can test it's volatility."

Sighing, Draco asked, "What did my father say about this?"

"I was the one who suggested it to be imposed upon you."

As he stepped from unseen shadows, Regulus Black settled a divine smile upon his face.

"I sensed your magic to be too strong for this stage of the bond."

Draco swallowed his reply.

Harry took one look at his partner's taut, angry face and decided they needed time alone.

"I think we should go back to our quarters, Draco."

"You must let Mr. Black put the magical restrictions on you, Draco. It is for your own good, and only a veela can put a restriction on another."

As the eerie calm feeling took over, from Dumbledore's and Regulus' respective spells, Harry had the instinctive feeling that something was about to go awry.

Later, after Draco had assured him nothing would happen, he fell asleep once again in Draco's arms.

In another part of the castle however, was another pair. A pair made up of Lucius Malfoy and Regulus Black.

"So, it's done?"

"Yes, Lucius."

"It won't hurt them in any way, will it?"

"No, Lucius. Now come to bed, all your pacing has made me dizzy, and I want settle down with my mate."

A reluctant Lucius settled into bed with his mate, and fell asleep in his arms.
