Chapter 2: A Messy Kidnapping
MalfoysBtch22: Thank you for the compliment. I do hope that it turns out well.
Otaku-michiyo: Thank you very much. =D
DarkKiay: There, I updated! Are you quite happy now? Lol.
Aeledfyr: While I thank you for the review I can't help but find you rude. I apologize if I have taken something in a way that it wasn't meant to be taken. However, seeing as I am working in an AU setting the characters are bound to be slightly OOC. Even if it was cannon they may be that way because I am not J.K. Rowling. If you want perfect characterization I'm afraid you'll have to read the books. Also, thank you for pointing out the mistakes in my punctuation. I'll look into it.
Now onto the fic!
***Poetry Exchange
Harry watched Malfoy manor for three more days. Draco spent most of his time with his mother, who Harry had found out was named Narcissa. They stayed at the manor mostly while Lucius rarely made any appearance at all. The only time Harry had seen him was when he had come home one night around 2:00am. He had left again five hours later.
Draco and Narcissa seemed content though. They would spend time in the gardens or cooking in their enormous kitchen when Draco got home from school. After that Draco would do his homework and then they would have dinner. Then, every night for an hour, they would sit in the library and Draco would read poetry out loud to his mother.
Harry wouldn't admit it, but he enjoyed these hours. He didn't know much about poetry but Draco's voice was soft and smooth, lovely to listen to. Most of the poems were about love. Narcissa seemed to enjoy those the most. Draco's life seemed…perfect. Harry would have given anything as a child for the kind of family that Draco had. He couldn't help feeling just a slight bit of jealousy.
Finally it was the day that Harry planned to kidnap Draco. Harry had carefully studied the layout of the house. Draco's bedroom was the one above the library. It was a good distance away from his mother's bedroom, so she probably wouldn't be a problem. The only complication was the security system. Luckily, Harry had someone who could get around that.
"Come on 'Mione! You can do it! You're the only one who can!" Harry begged.
"Why should I help you kidnap someone?" Hermione asked, glaring at Harry and snatching the cigarette out of his mouth. "And you know you're not supposed to smoke in the house!"
"Okay! I'm sorry. Jeeze." Harry murmured. "Come on Hermione, my queen, my beloved, my goddess!" The brunette begged, falling to his knees and grasping Hermione's hand.
"Pretty pathetic, mate." Ron laughed.
"Oh shove it." Harry sent a mock glare to his best friend. Ron sent a crooked grin back. "Mione, I can't do it without you. We're not going to hurt him! It probably won't be three days before his dad pays Michael back and then he'll be right back in his mansion reading poetry with his mother!"
Hermione sighed and shot Harry a sharp look. The brunette grinned up at her, knowing that he had won. "Fine. I'll get you in. what kind of ritzy security system do they have?"
***Poetry Exchange
Harry thanked his lucky stars, for what seemed like the billionth time, that Hermione was such a genius. True, she didn't enjoy doing such illegal things, but if she ever decided to that girl could hack into the most high tech security system you could find.
She had said that it would probably take her more time than it usually would. The Malfoy manor apparently had quite the system. Just what you'd expect from a family like the Malfoys. She was currently in the back of a van, supplied by Michael, which was parked across from the manor. The back of the van was equipped with any hacking gear she would need.
"Just like in a movie!" Ron, who was driving, had commented. At the moment Harry couldn't have agreed more. He was garbed in all black with an ear piece in ear. Hermione connected to the other side. Harry snuck up to the house. The light in the library was on and Harry knew from past experience that Draco and Narcissa would be sitting together with Draco reading aloud.
Sure enough, as Harry peeked into the window they were doing exactly as he imagined. "One more, Draco. We'll go to bed after that." Narcissa smiled lovingly at her son.
"I'd die for you
Cry for you
Kill for you
Put my life on still for you
I'd fight for you
Do right for you
Do anything you want me to
I'd leave with you
Never look back
You're my only light
When everything is black
Without you I don't think
My heart can beat
I've fallen in love with you
You've swept me off my feet
And so it goes,
I love for you
I'd do anything and everything
Just for you." Draco finished, closing the book and smiling at his mother.
"Beautiful, my darling." Narcissa smiled back. "That's enough for tonight though. Your father has promised to have breakfast with us in the morning. Wont that be nice?"
"Yes mother. I look forward to it." Draco nodded, putting the book back onto the shelf. He and his mother left the library and Harry climbed up to the next story, waiting outside the blonde's window.
Draco came in shortly and began to dress for sleep. Harry looked away for this. 'No need to make this any more creepy than it is.' he thought with a smirk. It didn't take long for Draco to get into bed. Harry waited a half hour before he pressed the button on the ear piece. "Hermione it's time. Get me in."
"Gotcha."
Hermione couldn't say that breaking into mansions was her favorite thing to do. However, the rush it gave her certainly was exciting. The security system on the manor was state of the art but, at last, Hermione was able to find a hole that was big enough for her to wiggle through. "You're good. I can only keep it down for about five minutes so hurry up and get in." she whispered hurriedly.
"Got it 'Mione." Harry whispered back. He tried the window and grumbled under his breath when he found it locked. 'Of course.' he thought, rolling his eyes. Luckily, he'd come prepared for such a problem.
Harry grabbed a flat tool from his pocket and slipped it under the edge of the window, moving the latch. It made a satisfying "click" as it moved to the unlocked position. It slid open easily after that and Harry slipped inside.
The room seemed even grander when you were inside. Harry crept over to the bed and his breath caught. Sure, he had noticed before how lovely the boy was. However, it was different when he was asleep. His face was relaxed and innocent, childlike. Harry couldn't help but take a moment to appreciate Draco's beauty.
That's when Harry ran into a small problem. How was he going to get the little prince out of the house? If he woke him the blonde was sure to make a fuss and scream, drawing every person in the household. But how was he supposed to do it without waking him?
Harry James Potter was not a man who could boast of always being level headed or of never rushing into a situation without thinking. In fact, that's what made up a large part of his personality. And it was this part of him which made him walk over to the bed and clamp his hand, gently but firmly, over the blonde boy's mouth.
Draco's eyes flew open and he began struggling immediately. "Hush! If you fight me or scream I'll have to hurt you." Harry whispered harshly. Draco's eyes were wide with fright but he nodded quickly. "Okay, stand up."
Draco moved to do as Harry said, standing slowly. Harry was just beginning to wonder how he was going to get the little prince out the window when he felt a sharp pain shoot through his hand. This was caused by the perfectly straight teeth belonging to Draco Malfoy.
Harry cursed a bit too loudly, and withdrew his hand. "Mother! Someone! Mothe-" Harry cut Draco off swiftly. He did this, quite foolishly, by hurriedly grabbing the blonde and pressing their lips together in a harsh kiss. Draco had a moment to stare, outraged, into startling green eyes before he was hit in the side of the head and lost consciousness.
"Shit." Harry breathed, catching Draco before he could hit the floor.
"Master Draco? Master Draco are you alright?" An elderly woman's voice came through the door, making Harry freeze. The door opened and young green eyes met old brown ones. The woman blinked in surprise and promptly raced out of the room screaming. "A THIEF IS TRYING TO RAPE MASTER DRACO!"
"God dammit!" Harry cursed, throwing the boy over his shoulder and racing over to the window. He grabbed onto the drainage pipe that he had used to climb up and slid down quickly. A bit too quickly. He fell at the bottom, dropping his precious cargo.
By this time lights were coming on all over the manor, people were screaming, and there were the sounds of sirens wailing in the distance. Harry grabbed Draco and bolted, heading for where Ron and Hermione were parked. Draco still blissfully unconscious.
Ron fired up the van as soon as he saw Harry while Hermione threw the side door open. Harry jumped into the van with Draco, screaming "Drive the car! Drive, drive, drive!" at the top of his lungs. And Ron Weasley, while he wasn't the master thief that Harry was or the amazing hacker that was Hermione, he was a fast driver.
He got them out of there before the police had even gotten close. Harry looked at Ron, then Hermione, then Draco and began laughing. His adrenalin still flowing strongly through his body. "I thought I was caught!" he giggled.
"It's not funny, Harry!" Hermione glared.
"Oh come on 'Mione. I got away!" Harry grinned. "And I even got the target." He pointed to the blonde. "Operation 'Capture the Little Prince' was, basically, a success."
