Rediscovering Harry

A/N - Well this story sure is taking a little different direction then what I had intended. I just sat down and let my fingers do the typing. This was not what I had originally intended but here goes. Please leave a review!

Chapter 5 - More then feelings

" Come on love , we are going to be late. Don't want to keep our friends waiting. Plus I'm starving." Draco bellowed through the house.

" I'm coming. Just wanted to make sure I had everything. I still wish you were coming with us. I know how much you like the Chudley Cannons."

" It's ok , there will be other matches. Plus mother is looking forward to spending some quality time with me. Andromeda has Teddy today while Tonks & Remus are out so she is lonely. You know the house elves aren't much company. "

" True, we really do need to invite them over. They have only been to the house once. I'm sure they miss us as well. "

" I know , maybe sometime this week we can have them over for lunch or something. We'll talk about it later. Now come on before everyone has lunch without us and I decide to start eating my fingers. " Draco whined.

" Welcome to Reynolds do you have a reservation? "

" Draco Malfoy & Harry Potter with the Weasley party."

" Ah yes , Right this way gentlemen. Renee will show you to your table."

" Thank you. " Harry replied.

" Gentlemen, your guest await you. Right through this door. It's a private room. We hope you enjoy your meal and experience. " Renee smiled.

Draco kissed her hand. " Thank you, I'm sure the experience will be lovely."

Harry and Draco entered the room. It was rather large. The room was set it warm earth tones. There was a large window that was directly behind the table they were sitting at. It over looked a large garden with a pond. Lilly pads floated ontop and flowers were blooming all around. You could tell it was magically enhanced and a charm that kept it alive all through the year. A Privacy charm was placed so that you could see out but no one could see in. The floor was a darker tone brown that looked to have some sort of pattern etched in different shades of cream and the lightest browns. The Walls looked to be some sort of shag carpet that kept the warmth in. To the left were a large brick wall that stood in the center and within that was a large roaring fire. The place had lanterns that floated high above and lit the room. It was beautiful and calming.

" Hello everyone, sorry we are late. We do appologize. "

" It's ok Harry. We haven't been waiting that long. Ron was taking forever to get ready. " Hermione smiled at Ron.

" Yeah well I was just making sure I didn't forget anything. " Ron commented.

" Now where did I hear that before. Oh yeah I believe Harry gave me the same excuse just before we left. " Draco laughed.

Harry slapped Draco on the arm. " You hush. "

" You 2 act like total females sometimes. "

" They do don't they George." Fred replied.

" Oh would you 2 shut up already." Ron huffed.

" No way. " The twins retorted.

" Blaise, Neville, anything new with you guys. " Draco took his attention away from the twins.

" Nah nothing this way. It was cool though your mom getting us these tickets. "

" I'll be sure to tell her that when I see her this afternoon. " He shot Hermione a look.

" Thanks. I sent her a note but would you please thank her again. I can't believe she didn't want to go herself. "

" Nah, that was fathers thing. Mother only went when he demanded. You know how persistant he could get sometimes. Keeping up the family image. I really don't miss that to be honest. It always felt so formal and forced. Couldn't just relax but I understand he had an "image" to uphold. "

" Yeah I understand mate. I'm sure if he wasn't in the situation he was it would have been more laid back. I've heard some of the stories your mom would tell about how they use to be before Evil Lord of Gits caused chaos and tried to take over the world. " Everyone laughed at Blaise's new name for Voldemort.

Nicole thought this conversation was starting to get to depressing and would dredge up to many painful memories and decided to change the subject.

" So what are you girls doing while the guys go watch the match?"

" Just thought I would do some studying. I don't have to work tonight. " Hermione replied knowing it was something she would do.

" Nothing here." Angelina said.

" Well why don't we do a little shopping then. Maybe go by and check out the new Lady's shop that just opend yesterday. "

" Ok, I need to stop by the Library also. I need to grab a book before we leave." Hermione looked towards Draco.

The girls already knew what her and Draco were doing and were in on it also. They still haven't told the guys. Draco was going to do that later when Harry was occupied by something else and they could all meet at Hermione's to make sure Ron didn't let it slip out.

The rest of lunch went uneventful and no more depressing chatter erupted. They were all thankful for their own reasons. To much was lost over the years when Voldemort had started his rampage on the world as they knew it. They were also thankful that Rita Skeeter had been sent to work in Bulgaria. She was not around to cause the group trouble anymore. Thanks to some strings pulled and favors thrown in. Otherwise they would be tailed by unwanted press for the rest of their lives. Most everone respected the Trio and their friends and left them alone.

" Enjoy the match love. Have fun and don't dwell on me not being there. Promise? " Draco whispered to Harry.

Wrapping Draco in a warm embrace Harry whispered back into his ear. " I will love. You enjoy your time with Cissy. Give my love. "

" I will. Thank you." Draco gave Harry a kiss before apparaiting to his mothers.

" Hello mother. The girls should be here in a few minutes. They have to make sure the guys think they are shopping. " Draco gave his mother a warm hug.

" Hello Dragon. I am so excited about all of this. I can't wait. The girls are going to be such a big help with all of this. Have you told the guys yet? "

" No, we are going to have to get Harry away for a bit so we can sit down with them and let them know. Make sure Ron doesn't slip up and what not. I think Angelina and Hermione are going to head to the Library while we head to the shop with Nicole. That way no one will suspect anything even though we will be under charms. It really wouldn't be hard to put 2 and 2 together if they really wanted to be nosey. "

" Understandable dear. Maybe we can have Remus and Tonks take Harry out. Just the three of them. I can watch Teddy. I just adore that little boy. I'm sure Andromeda would come join us and we can spend some time together as well. She has been so busy at the hospital and everything. "

" Sounds like a plan. We can suggest it to the girls, they should be here any minute. I told them they could apparaite into the Entrance Hall. "

" Thats fine , lets go wait for them. "

" Miley."

" Yes Mistress what can Miley do for you Mistress. "

" Could you please bring us some tea into the Living room. It is much more cosy in there and make sure the fire is warming."

" Yes Mistress, Miley will do right away. " The little house elf bowed and with a pop went off to gather the tea.

" Mother the house elves wearing little spring colored dresses really brightens the mood around here. It's a little odd to see , I guess I'm just not use to seeing them look so.. ..so cheerful? "

" Yes well I think they look rather cute. Those horrible things your father had them wearing was just awful. Just because they serve the house does not mean they have to look like filth nor do they need to be treated as such. "

" Thats true mother. It's rather nice actually. Hermione will be pleased I'm sure. " Draco laughed.

The girls soon arrived and spent a few minutes in the new Living room of Malfoy Manor having tea with Cissy. They were heading out to begin Phase two of Draco's plans. It was going to be tricky pulling all of this off right under Harry's nose but it could be done. Everyone changed their appearance and helped Nicole with hers. They weren't exceeding in Concealment and Disguise for nothing. Not one of them were recognizeable. Angelina and Hermoine headed to the Library while the others headed towards the shop Draco wanted to go to. They only had about 2 hours to pull this off and atleast regroup back at the Manor take off their charms and apparaite back to Hogsmede where they were supost to be shopping. If Harry were to head to the Manor he would find it empty except the house elves and their cover blown.

Hermoine located the book she was looking for Traditional and Non Traditional bonds. She quickly checked out the book and placed a charm on it so that if found by Ron before he was told he wouldn't ask questions or if it were found by Harry. She could say it was for her and Ron but he may be suspicious. They quickly left and made their way towards the new Ring shop.

Draco , Cissy , and Nicole were in different parts of the Ring shop looking around for that one set of rings that just called out to them. It had been about half an hour and still nothing. They had found some gorgous sets but just not what Draco was looking for. Hermione and Angelina had arrived and joined in on the search. Phase II find their bonding rings.

" Draco over here. " Hermione called out.

Draco made his way over to Hermione as quicly as he could. He didn't want to take the chance of falling into one of the glass cases. That could of been an ugly situation.

" Look Draco. They almost match you perfectly. What do you think. "

Draco called for the woman to come assist them. He wanted to have a closer look at the rings. They looked gorgous but he had to be sure.

" I would like to see set M-II please." Draco asked politely.

The rings were gorgous. Two medium width white gold bands that sparkled almost blindingly. Each had intricate disigns etched into them. Both rings held four stones alternating from pale blue grey and emerald green just like their eyes. They were perfect. He couldn't believe it. His heart warmed and his heart began to race. Just before he spoke the rings let off a warm glowing light. His head snapped up to the woman and his face bore all the questions.

" What was that? What just happend?"

" That sir is something very special. This set of rings has an enchantment placed on them. When either owner of these rings come in contact with them and infact truely have found one another the rings will know and will set off their glow. This sir is a soulmate enchantment. Only when soulmates have found their true other half will this happen. These rings are very old mind you. It is up to us to find our soulmates it is rare that such a thing occurs, but when it does it is something to be cherrished. I assure you Mr. Malfoy you have found your soulmate."

" Draco's head snapped back up. How do you know who I am? "

" I am a very very old and wise witch I can assure you. When your rings glowed your stones glistened. Check the initials."

Draco flipped over one of the rings. On the inside it read. DLM & HJP. The other rings bore the initials opposite. HJP & DLM. Draco was speechless. His head started to swim. He felt like his body was beginning to sway. Hermione must of noticed and grabbed ahold of his arm to steady him.

" I..I..I had no idea. I don't know what to say. " Draco mummbled.

" There is also a certificate so to speak. Proving these rings are real Mr.Malfoy and also will have your names bonded to it. Make no mistake when it comes to these types of things. You truely have found your soulmate and it is such a blessing. I will be right back. "

Everyone of the girls were standing there in utter shock as Draco was also. Merlin himself must be dancing around somewhere. It is rare you ever find your soulmate and for these two to be bonded in such a way is purely magical. It is no wonder they are so perfect for each other. Narcissa was in complete shock herself. She had no idea what to say to her son.

The shop owner came back holding a black envelope with silver writing upon it. She took out a silver piece of parchment that felt almost like velvet. Among other things written on it in Jet black Ink were the names Draco Lucius Malfoy and Harry James Potter two circles that represented their bond one of blue grey the other of green were connected just below their names

" Merlin, Harry is going to...I..I don't know what he is going to do honestly. I know he will be happy but..." Draco was still in awe.

" Harry will be estatic. The both of you are so much in love. I have never seen him so happy in the almost 9 years I have known him Draco. Neither of you can deny that nor can you now deny you were meant to be together. " Hermione tried to calm Draco. His nerves were frazzeled.

" Soul mates are the ones we can be the most honest with. The ones that we are our truest selves around. The openness you share with Harry is unmistakeable. Anyone who is not brain dead can see that the both of you bring each other to life. It is utterly divine. I'm happy for you Dragon. Embrace it and don't let this slip away from you. Be truely happy no matter what anyone else thinks or feels. This is You and Harry. You both were drawn to each other from the beginning. Sure things got in the way. But look at where you are now. It was always meant to be. "

" Thank you. Thanks all of you for being here with me through this. For helping me. I feel so calm so..so I can't even describe what I'm feeling. I really don't know how I'm going to tell Harry this. "

" We are here for you Dray. Always and whatever you need us to do. We are here. " Nicole gave him a small warm hug. She hadn't known Draco very long but they had a good bond.

" She is right Dray. Anything you need. We will help you with. " Hermoine said.

" I would like to pay for these now. We need to get back before they find out what we have been doing. I still want this to be a suprise. "

Draco paid for the rings. They were special and if it weren't for Hermione he may of never found them Or found out the truth behind it all. His head kept spinning. He knew his bond with Harry was strong and special. It would have to be to get through and past everything they had and to be this much in love. He couldn't wait to tell him. To tell him how much he loved him and wanted to spend the rest of his life and after with him.

The group returned back to Malfoy Manor and took off their charms. They needed to get back before they were caught. Draco kept the box hidden in a small vault locked away in his fathers old Den that he had installed right after the war. There were to many valuable things he wanted locked away but didn't want them in the family vault at Gringotts. He slipped out and went to tell his mother good bye.

" Thank you mother , I'll talk to you later. I need to get home and see if Harry has returned yet. I'm suprised he hasn't stopped by here. I will write you sometime this week. " He kissed his mother good bye.

" Good bye Dragon, give Harry my love. "

With a warm smile and a nod he apparaited home to find out where his other half was.

A/N - This chapter is much shorter I know. I didn't intend on this coming out so soon but atleast now Draco knows the truth and why their bond is the way it is. Harry is a little more in the dark about things like this. Especially what it means in the magical world. So we can leave him out of the fruitloops for a while. I hope you enjoyed this mini filler chapter. Please!! Review I really would like to know if anyone actually likes this or not.

Until next time...
