A/N: I wasn't going to post this chapter I didn't like it but as I was writing another version of it I sort of found myself writing that version around this one so I thought why not can't hurt. Hopefully you like it. Next chapter will be up Thursday.

About this chapter: Draco and Harry form an alliance. Harry makes a shocking discovery.

Chapter 5

Harry stared at Draco but his mind was elsewhere. What the hell did the wolf mean by Snape was his?

"We can't let him get hurt we must protect him!"

"We don't know if it's even true?"

Harry could feel something was wrong. His hands were shaking and he had a strong argue to run down the dungeons to make sure Snape was alright. But why?

"It's true Potter, he knows about your ... Situation and he knows that Snape is a spy. I'm telling you this -"
Harry raised his hand to stop him.

"How exactly is it that you know all of this? Why haven't you gone to the headmaster? As a matter of fact Professor Snape is your head of house why not warn him yourself if you're so worried?"

Draco flinched at the questions.

"I don't know ... I don't think they will believe me... They might think it's a trap"

Harry couldn't help but frown. Of course it's a trap!

"Then why are you telling me? What makes you think I believe you?"

Draco stood there mouth opened a desperation clearly written on his face.

"You have to ... I ... You're the savior of the wizarding world ... You actually think if I had told Dumbledore or Professor Snape that either one would have said anything to you? They wouldn't... I'm...not ... My ... Father"

Harry stared he was too confused to do anything at the moment. Its true, Dumbledore likes to withhold information and use it to his advantage and Snape is too stubborn to admit he's in danger... But this is Draco Malfoy... His father is a death eater maybe in an act of desperation Voldemort is using him?

"I don't ... I can't trust you Malfoy how can I be sure you aren't ... That this isn't a trap of his?"

Without skipping a beat Draco raised the sleeve to both his arms and revealed smooth white skin. Harry stared knowing what he meant but not acknowledging it.

"I will swear my allegiance to you. Not Dumbledore. Not to the light. But to you Harry Potter."

Harry blinked. What?

"Why me?"

Draco actually smiled and for a moment he seemed like his usual self.

"For some reason he's afraid of you. And that's good enough for me"

Harry blushed a bit and nodded.

"Malfoy if you give me a reason to suspect it's a lie I will personally kill you"

Malfoy extended his hand at Harry. Harry stared at it briefly and was reminded of his first year. Can he really be trusted?

"We must do everything to protect what's ours"

Harry grabbed his hand and felt a spark in his hand. He pulled it back and stared at Malfoy.

"I told you my allegiance is to you"

Harry watched as Draco sighed deeply and shifted his weight from foot to foot.

"Malfoy –"

"My dad wants me to take the mark. "

"What?"

"But I won't. I've seen the life these Death Eaters live I don't want that. I 'm expected to take the mark during Christmas vacation. I refused him …. Voldemort."

Harry stood speechless. Could it be true? He noticed how Draco eyes darkened a bit and his fist were clenching. He's upset …. So it's true? Harry took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

"I believe you. But we must go and tell Dumbledore he can help you-"

"No not yet …. I – I can't go to him without some helpful information"

"Everything you just told me will be helpful enough. You want out right? So Dumbledore will help you!"

Draco shook his head.

"You asked how I knew these things, my dad made me go with him to see … him. He's plotting something big. I think it's an attack. There's a few weeks left until Christmas Vacation I think I could convince my father till then to let me be around him I could find out his plans let you know what's actually going on before and after the Death Eater meetings."

Harry crossed his arms across his chest.

"No, That's dangerous and stupid what you're planning is too risky. We can get the information from Snape"

Malfoy laughed.

"Now you're being stupid Potter. Professor Snape only see's him during the meetings. My father on the other hand is always around him. He favors my dad. He fucking has tea with my dad; Snape is a spy with limited information. I on the other hand, am daddy's pride and joy my father will slip and talk."

"Malfoy I don't think –"

Malfoy raised his hand once again.

"Trust me Potter. Besides if Dumbledore can have his spy why can't you?"

Harry once again grabbed the hand offered to him.

"Fine but if you think at any moment that something is wrong you go straight to Dumbledore and tell him everything."

"Aren't you going to?"

Harry nodded and made a gesture for them to walk down the hall.

"Yeah but only what I think he needs to know I will keep your identity quite for as long as possible"

Draco raised an eyebrow.

"Careful potter your slytherin is showing"

Harry rolled his eyes.

"So what's it like potter? Being a wolf? Have you had the urge to chase any cats yet?"

Harry threw his head back and laughed.

"You truly are a blonde Malfoy. Wolfs don't chase around cats that's dogs"

Draco shrugged his shoulder and ran forward.

"I'm going ahead. I don't want anyone thinking we were together"

Harry nodded. Too many thoughts running around his head. Making plans to decide which step he was going to take first, he decided that talking to Snape should happen before the night ended.

HP~SS~HP~SS~HP

Snape sat behind his desk staring at the papers in front of him but not making any sense of them. He frowns and tried to focus once again but he couldn't seem to get the vision of Harry crying out of his head.

"Honestly even when he's not around me that boy still distracts me"

He picked up a small of paper and had to read it twice. If was a note from Lupin reminding him that December 25 would be the night of the next full moon and he needed to make the wolf bane's potion not only for him but potter as well. He rubbed his temple forcing the headache away. He would never have guess that one day he would brew the potion for the boy.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK

He stared at the door willing whoever it was one the other side to go away.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK

The sound seemed louder and urgent. He stood up and made his way to the door.

"Whoever it is it better be good its pass your curfew!"

He swung open the door and came face to face with Harry Potter. He stared at him wondering what he wanted.

"Can I help you?"

He watched as Potter seemed to be deep in thought. Confusion crossed his face and a blush made its way to his cheeks. He stuttered lightly and seemed to be lost for words. Snape noticed the golden streak that swirled into his eyes. He was getting ready to slam the door in his face when Potter closed his eyes and shook his head.

"I'm sorry …. I don't know what's happening I wasn't like this a few minutes ago. "

Potter shifted left and right looking at the ground. When he looked up Snape took a step back as the golden eyes stared at him.

"I'm not going to do anything to you Professor I just …. Need to talk ….to you …it's important"

Snape nodded and walked straight to his desk and grabbed his wand. Potter looked hurt at the gesture but Snape couldn't risk a repeat of what happened in the office.

"What can I do for you Potter?"

"Do you have to call me that? I hate it "

Snape blinked.

"Excuse me?"

Potter smiled and Snape thought that his eyes actually glowed.

"Do you have to call me Potter? I prefer to be called Harry, Severus"

Snape frowned and took a seat crossing his arms.

"I don't remember giving you permission to address me so casually Mr. Potter"

Potter pouted. The damn boy is pouting?

"That's mean Sev"

Snape slammed his hands down against the desk firmly making the boy take a step back.

"What do you want Potter? "

Potter took a step forward smiling brightly.

"I want yo-"

He watched with much confusion as the boys hands slapped across his mouth stopping himself from continuing. He notice how a bit of green came back into the golden eyes and Potter face turned a brightly shade of red. Snape stood up and made his way around the desk. Maybe he's sick or the wolf is bothering him? As he took a few steps toward Potter, the boy took them backwards turning redder and pressing his hands firmly over his mouth. Was this some sort of game?

"Potter are you feeling alright?"

He reached out to place a hand on the boy's shoulder but Potter turned and ran out the door. Snape stood there mouth slightly opened and unable to make sense of what happened.

HP~SS~HP~SS~HP

Harry ran up the stairs putting as much distance as possible between him and the dungeons. He could feel the heat all across his body. His feet pounded loudly against the floor as he climbed up stairs and ran down corridors. This isn't happening! No way in hell! I don't like him! He stopped as he heard the familiar laughter of the wolf. Harry placed his hands against his ears trying to block the laughter but that seem to make it louder. He was confused, worried and angry. He balled up his fists and punched the wall until his hands were numb. He collapsed against the wall with the wolf's voice still laughing in his ear.

"Severus will be ours"
