Chapter 3:
To see, To feel.

Harry opened his eyes to see only blackness. He sat bolt upright pushing aside what felt like a blanket of velvet his breath coming out in short gasps. The darkness frightened him although this was the first time he realized he had this fear. Living in that hole in Azkaban and being unable to see properly had made him feel helpless in a way he'd hoped to never feel again.

Looking around for some sign of light he finally came across a small pinprick of white light coming from his left. Praying that it wouldn't disappear he walked quickly almost tripping over what he assumed was the blanket he'd thrown off of himself. It almost looked like a wand light he thought wondering for a moment who he was approaching. If it wasn't a friend he'd put up quite a fight before he let himself get captured again.

Getting up close to the light he felt his heart race as though he'd been running or walking for hours. It didn't make sense that such a dim light was already enveloping him and he feared that it would swallow him. Digging in his heels he realized that he'd unconsciously been putting up a fight to not be flying forwards. Whatever this thing was it wanted him and wouldn't take no for an answer.

He slammed into the wall of light so heavily that he felt his body go limp and the taste of copper blood in his mouth. This was a selfish entity calling his name, a creature that didn't care how much it hurt him so long as it was able to own him.

He was once again captured by the darkness and then by a young girl who caught him as he fell.

You can see their shadows
Wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home
But they really don't care
They wanted the highway
They're happy there today , today
-The Way, Fastball

Draco snorted as he saw Felicity, Fate's daughter, carry Harry in. She possessed a great strength despite her small frame and lifted him in her arms with an ease that only a grown man should possess. His hands flew up making silent talk that the girl ignored by turning around. Getting angry he tapped her on the shoulder only to cower when she turned to face him eyes blazing a metallic blue.

'Mind your manners Draco. I may appear to be a small child but I'm centuries older than you.'

Having heard her in his mind he nodded enthusiastically edging away from the frightening creature that took the form of a girl. He'd forgotten his place. Draco was only a mere mortal compared to the fates. Her mother would probably be here soon he thought sourly. All they ever did when they were together was boss him around.

You might be wondering how Draco Malfoy met these entities. It had everything to do with Ginny Weasley but more so Harry Potter. The fates had told him that if he saved Ginny Weasey he could start his life over and find the love of his life. Still waiting on that finding the love of his life but he'd definetely been given a second chance. So far he'd thought that Harry Potter was part of his second chance at life but perhaps he was far more than someone to accompany him through this new phase in his life. Perhaps fate murmurred in his dreams Harry was his love.

The sad thing about dreams is that they are often forgotten and leave us with only vague memories. This was the case with Draco. He'd wake up sweating with swollen lips that felt as if he'd just been snogged heavily. But there was very little he remembered other than the color green. Slytherin green as a matter of fact.

Draco looked worriedly at Harry as the Boy-Who-Lived moaned into the couch cushions of the grey loveseat he'd been placed on. Suddenly Felicity was behind him pushing him forward roughly. 'Well, don't just stand there fix him!' Draco felt like saying something but remembered his place this time and reached out to grab Harry by the wrist.

Harry felt something cool come out to encircle his wrist and from that point on his body the cooling sensation spread all over his body like walking out into a snowstorm. His eyes fluttered open to stare into Draco's eyes. The blond actually smiled rather than showing him the overused smirk. The next thing that he noticed was that he was in a room that was bright white like a hospital room.

He rubbed his eyes trying to take in more but only seeing the bright white room. There were no doors or windows just a room that didn't end as far as the eye could see. He saw Draco fall to the ground as a petite girl shoved him out of the way so she could get to Harry.

'I'm sorry, Harry,' a voice cooed in his mind, 'You shouldn't have been in pain but Draco didn't heal you fast enough.'

Draco scowled and discretely stuck his tongue out at her back. Harry snorted but disguised it as a cough in hopes of not getting Draco in trouble with what was clearly a goddess. A small childlike goddess but still powerful in her own right if she could subdue Draco.

'We're to have tea with mother. You like peach tea but love lemon tea if I'm not mistaken.' Harry nodded blushing at the extra attention this creature showed him. He didn't mind it coming from her but usually that kind of behavior had him running.

There was a blinding flash of light brighter still than the room that looked to be coming from behind a closed door. The girl grabbed him by the wrist and pulled him along and through the door into what was obviously a garden. In the center of a cloud of butterflies stood a woman that rivaled Draco's mother in beauty. She turned to greet them with a gorgeous smile that had him feeling nervous. It wasn't lost on him that he'd do anything for her yet all he hoped was that he wouldn't be treated as a pawn. After how Dumbledore had treated him like a pawn he'd sworn to himself nobody would use him like that again.

The woman came forward and air kissed him on both cheeks. He stared up into her mercury colored eyes only to be distracted by panting. Draco stood in the doorway bent over with his hands on his knees he glared at Felicity who grinned at him sarcastically. Her mother was kinder as she stood up offering him whatever was in her tea cup. He quickly said his thanks and gulped what proved to be lemon tea. Catching his breath he stood straight and bowed to her.

Harry wondered if her should bow but didn't have to make that descision as with a snap of her fingers they were all seated. Harry sipped at his peach tea a little before looking around at what could only be described as an eden. He wanted to ask Draco who these people were as although he could tell they were goddesses he didn't know anything else about them. However he knew that talking only to one person and not to the group as a whole was considered rude.

He wished that he could talk to Draco silently but even if he could he wasn't sure if the Fates would fail to hear even that. So they listened together as the fates told them the plan.

'You will take the Defense Against the Dark Arts position at Hogwarts.' Felicity said stiring some sugar into her tea. Her mother shushed her by putting a finger to her lips before taking over the conversation.

'You will go to Hogsmead in two days for a job interview for a job that I have already made certain you will get. Your names will be Talon and Noir Norse you are to be partners. *At this Draco sputtered catching on while Harry frowned looking confused.

"I'm not gay!" Draco shrieked eyes flashing.

Fate smiled at him looking amused. 'Then what was Blaise Zabini to you? If I remember you both were together for a year.'

Draco muttered something about the boy being a traitor before looking at Harry.

"Why haven't you said something! Surely you're not okay with this?"

Harry gave a tight lipped smile and silently signed, "Because I'm bi and you're cute enough."

Draco stared at Harry in shock and then horror. He scooted his chair as far as he could away from Harrys before glaring at Fate. He sighed before throwing his hands up in the air, "Fine! Whatever!"

' You both still know how to become animagus?'

Both Harry and Draco looked at each other surprised, "You're an animagus?" they said echoing the others words.

Fate summon a mirror and in it they saw their animal forms. 'You were given these forms as a gift from me as I knew you'd need them. I know the future and the past so I knew we'd meet. Harry you're wolf form will give you the ability to look at the world from the ground and Draco you will see the world from the air as a hawk. I trust that you will complete the mission of teaching your younger selves all they need to know. I want them ready for a fight' With that the world around them vanished and they saw themselves in their campsite again.

As the sun came up their shadows stretched across the horizon as they started their treck to Hogsmead. This was their world now and there would be no going back.
