Hey Guys! I'm back to the fast updates! Let me know if you'd rather I update as soon as I finish a chapter (normally the middle of the week) or if I should update Friday nights/weekends.

Enjoy the chapter! :)

I could feel the tear tracks running down my cheeks as I entered the Slytherin Common Room. Luckily, everyone except for some 7th year had retired to their rooms and I was able to sneak past unnoticed. Once I reached the door the Draco and I's room, I threw the door open and was immediately attacked by someone. Draco. I sighed and burrowed myself deeper in his arms. I closed my eyes and relished in the feeling of being safe, loved and wanted.

I must have fallen asleep at some point, because when I opened my eyes, I was lying in bed alone.

"Draco?" I called out groggily.

Almost instantly, I felt the mattress dip as he sat next to me. "Hey, love. How are you feeling?" He asked as he stroked my hand.

I lifted my eyes to meet his and I was shocked to see the worry, love and kindness I saw in them.

"I feel like I was run over by that taxi you were telling me about."

Draco chuckled, "You mean the Knight Bus?"

"Yeah, that one!" I shouted, remembering how Draco told me all about it over the summer. "Do you think we can ride it sometime?"

"Of course not-" Draco started. Once he gets all uppity like this, there's only one way to get him back on my side. "Don' you dare use those puppy eyes on me, mister! I refuse to ride some plebian form of transportation when we can side-apparate and use the floo network! But, we're not going to talk about this right now."

"But-" Draco cut me off.

"What do you remember from last night?" Oh, that.

"Well, one minute I was with the mudblood, and then next I felt this weird pull from right here." I pointed to my chest. "And I felt like I really needed you. It was like nothing else mattered, not even breathing; only you." Just thinking about it made my eyes start to sting.

"Get over here," Draco said, as he opened his arms wide.

I threw myself at him and buried my head in his chest. As soon as Draco's arms were wrapped securely around me, I felt at home.

"What's wrong with me?" I whispered into Draco's now tear-stained shirt.

He pulled away slightly from me, enough to look straight into my eyes, and started to talk really seriously. "There is nothing wrong with you Hadrian Alexander, and don't you ever think otherwise. What's going to happen is this. We're going to walk down to Papa's rooms, floo to the manor and try and talk to Father, and maybe even your Father if he's there. They'll know what to do."

I nodded my head slightly, still buried in Draco's shirt. It felt so nice, I just wanted to stay like this forever. But soon enough I was forced to move and get ready for the day. I dressed myself to perfection with a pair of black slacks, an emerald green button down shirt, dragon hide boots, and a green cloak that was so dark it looked black. I wanted to look my best in case I see Father today. I think Draco liked my outfit as well since he kept staring at me the entire time we were in our rooms. Draco's outfit complimented mine. Where I had black, he had silver, where I had green, he had blue. It looked really pretty with his perfect eyes and gorgeous hair. Draco helped me glamour my eyes so that it didn't look like I had been crying. Father said that I can only trust Draco, so that's what I'm doing. When we made our way through the common room, the rest of the Slytherins were to believe that nothing was amiss. Not even Neville, who stopped us to say hello, could tell that I was a mess and Draco was worried beyond belief. Because Draco can pretend that he's got everything under control and everything's going to be fine, but I know him too well; he's as freaked out as I am.

"Professor Snape," Draco said once Uncle Sev opened the door. "We need help."

I was half hiding behind Draco when we made it to the rooms, but once Uncle Sev saw me I'm pretty sure he saw through the glamours Draco placed. I sat down on one of the big comfy couches, and I buried myself in it. It's not the same as Draco, but sometimes I was going to have to make due.

Draco POV

I tried to explain to Papa what was going on, but as soon as I started talking, tears came pouring down my face and I was sobbing. Luckily, Harry was in the other room and couldn't see me like this. I would hate for him to think I'm weak. I'm supposed to protect him, and I can't do that if I don't have control over myself.

"Shh, Draconis, let it all out." Papa said as he rubbed my back. "Go and be with Hadrian, he needs you right now."

"But- but I don't want him to see me like this! I'm the strong one! I- I have to-"

Papa cut me off. "The only thing you have to do is be with Hadrian. He needs you, no matter what you're feeling." I nodded my head started to head towards the sitting room with Hadrian when Papa called out. "I'm going to get Tom and Lucius from the manor. When we return, there's going to be quite a bit to discuss that affects the both of you."

That doesn't sound too good, but right now I don't really care. I just want Harry in my arms.

"Hey," I said when I got to the couch. It took me a moment, but I finally spotted him under a pile of pillows and blankets with only his head sticking out. "Papa went to get Father and Tom, they'll be here soon, okay?"

Instead of an answer, I found myself pulled down under the pile that Harry had buried himself in. I chuckled at his childish antics and proceeded to wrap my arms around him. This is home. With Harry in my arms, nothing can ever go wrong.

I'm not sure how long we stayed like in that position, only that we had both fallen asleep at one point, and didn't wake up until long after Father and Tom had arrived. Harry was still sleeping when I awoke, but I could hear the adults talking in low voices.

"We have to tell them."

"They're too young! How on Earth could they be ready for this?"

"They're experiencing the symptoms faster than most. It won't be long until they start to realize that something is going on."

"They're eleven!"

"They're eleven years old and with a soul mate bond!"

"They may be too young, but I can assure you both that the bond won't allow them to do anything that they themselves are not ready for."

Were they talking about me and Harry? I decided that this was as good a time as any to show that I was awake. "Father?" I called out.

"Draco!" Father called out. "You're awake!"

Harry began to stir slightly in my arms from the loud noises. "Shh!" I whispered back. "Harry's sleeping. I feel as if it's going to be a long day, and I would prefer it if he were well rested for it."

All three adults gave each other the same look, as if they knew something that I didn't. I narrowed my eyes slightly at that.

"Draconis," Tom began. "I need you to tell me what happened last night. You're Papa wasn't able to make sense of it earlier."

I felt my face heat up at the reminder of my breakdown. I'm the strong one, the one that's supposed to protect Harry while he protects everyone else. How can I do that when I'm sobbing over nothing? Well, it wasn't nothing, it was Harry and there isn't anything that is more important than my Harry.

"You see, Harry and I had spent the entire morning together, doing work and just hanging out in the common room but I feel asleep…" And I began to tell them everything. About the innocent kiss that Harry gave me that made me feel funny, but the good kind of funny! And I told them how Blaise and Pansy came back from the library without Harry, even though he was studying with them. I explained that by the time curfew came, Harry still hadn't come back and I felt a different kind of funny feeling in my chest; that one wasn't a good feeling. And I started panicking about if Harry was hurt. I waited up all night, until finally Harry came back around 1am. He was a mess when he finally made it to the rooms, and he passed out as soon as I hugged him. I couldn't sleep the rest of the night, I had spent it worrying about what was going on. I felt so scared. It was like Harry was in danger and I couldn't even save him.

When I finished explaining everything to the adults, I felt a pair of tiny arms wrap around me.

"Oh Draco, I didn't know you feel like that. I was just doing some work for Father, and I knew you were busy, so I didn't want to bother you with it." Harry said quietly from behind me.

"What were you doing that was putting you and your mate in danger, Hadrian?" Tom asked.

What? "Mate?" I asked.

"I was-" Harry started shyly. "Well, I wasn't in any danger. I promise! She was in more danger than I was. I could very easily have gotten rid of the stupid mudblood whenever I wanted to."

Tom sighed. "Hadrian, were you doing large amounts of magic while away from the castle?"

Harry nodded in my chest.

"He's too powerful," Papa said to Father.

"They both are." Father said. "But it's too much for them right now."

"Hadrian, Draconis," Tom said. "What we are about to tell you is very important, and you must never forget it."

The room was silent, and Harry and I waited with anticipation for what Tom was going to say. Whatever it is, Papa and Father already know and it's about me and Harry. I could feel Harry press into me even more.

"You're soul mates."

"We're what?" Harry spluttered.

I can't believe this. Harry, my Harry is really mine? We'll be together forever?

"Soul mates," Father explained. "Are two souls that are destined to be together for eternity. Some say that the souls resurrect in a new body every life cycle, but that is only speculation. What is known is that nothing can break a soul mate bond, and those who try are more often than not killed. You should also know that there is a dominate and submissive in the relationship. In time you will know who has the dominate position and who has the submissive role. However, you are both equal to each other, neither one of you have more power over the other."

"Lucius, I believe you've overloaded poor Harry's brain." Papa said, smirking. "Let me explain this in simpler terms, Hadrian. You and Draco will be together forever. No matter what happens, he will always love you and stand by you and vice versa."

I looked down at Harry and saw that he's looking up at me with those big green eyes of his. He really is too adorable at times.

"Forever?" He whispered.

"Forever," I said, and placed a peck on his nose.

"Now, you should both know that there is much more than that to it." Harry and I reluctantly turned away from each other to look at Tom. "Soul mate bonds were once a semi-common occurrence, but as time passed, they almost disappeared. When Draco was born we felt something different about his aura, but it had been assumed that it was some form of dormant creature blood. But then when you were born, Hadrian, we felt the same thing we had in Draconis, so we knew that something was connecting the two of you."

"The soul mate bond," Harry whispered.

"Yes, it was the bond," Tom said. "That was the reason that the two of you suffered from Magical Separation. Your magical cores are intertwined; meaning that you share magic. This only happens with the strongest of bonds, such as the one that you two have."

"I'm going to be honest with the two of you." I could see Tom and Father give Papa some funny looks when Papa said this, but I don't really care right now. All that matters is that Harry's mine! Nobody else's! "There is much more to it than what Tom just told you. And no matter how mature the two of you are, you are both still eleven. Just know that the two of you are intertwined in more ways than you can possibly imagine."

I wrapped my arms around Harry and pulled him into my lap. "So Harry's mine? Forever?" Kissing his cheek gently, I could easily see the smile that crossed my Harry's face. It was beautiful.

"Yes Draco," Father said. "Harry is yours. But remember that you're also Harry's. You belong to each other."

Harry turned in my lap so that he was straddling my thighs and looking straight at me. "I'm yours Draco. We'll be together forever."

"Anyone want to place bets on which ones submissive?" A chorus of laughter followed, but I didn't care. All I care about is that Harry is mine. He's here in my arms and we're going to stay like this for forever. I love him.

So I'm pretty sure that this is going to wrap up their first year and we'll be doing a time skip to 4th of 5th year. What do you think?
Did you like Draco's protectiveness? I thought it was adorable!

I have not forgotten about the Dursley's or Harry's mother! They will be showing up later! I promise!

Should there be a creature bond? I'm still debating, so let me know what you think! Don't forget to tell me when you prefer that I update! I really want to know! :)

Luv you all and your wonderful reviews! 3
