Jacob was worried about the blond. Ever since he received the letter from this 'Harry Potter' Draco had done nothing but read through his many magic books. He barely ate, slept or even talked. Two days had already passed since Victoria's attack and the arrival of the letter. Jacob was afraid the blond would collapse soon. He tried to get Draco to tell him what was going on with this Bellatrix but the blond would just keep silent. There was fear in those silver eyes and Jacob hated seeing his imprint in such a state. He decided to go see the one person who might be able to tell him something about why Draco was afraid.

"Alice," Jacob said as soon as the pixie-like vampire opened the door to her and the rest of the Cullen's big house. "I need your help."

"You want my help?" She asked sarcastically.

"Please, I don't know what to do."

Alice realized how desperate he seemed and let him into the house. He walked in and saw that Rosalie and Emmett were sitting on the living room couch watching TV and Jasper came bounding down the stairs and stood by Alice.

"Oh great, why'd you let the dog in?" Rosalie said and scrunched her nose. Jacob just glared at her head.

"What do you need help with?" Alice asked ignoring Rosalie's comment.

"I know you can't see around me but I wanted you to try to look into the future of my imprint."

"Yes, Carlisle told us about him, Draco was it?" The Pixie asked.

"Yes that's his name. He received a letter 2 days ago and it said something about someone named Bellatrix who wanted to come after him, and by 'after him' I'm assuming she wants him dead. Can you please try to see something?"

"Jacob, I don't think I can. I can't usually see someone by just knowing their name. I could meet Draco and try but even then, this Bellatrix is unknown to me. Vision's of which you want me to see just come to me sometimes."

"Can you please at least try?" The shape shifter pleaded.

"OK, I'll try." She agreed and went to sit on the couch in the living room. "Can you wait outside the house? This way I can see more clearly." She asked Jacob and he quickly complied.

As Jacob waited, he paced back and forth in the back yard. First 5 minutes passed and then 10. He didn't like leaving Draco alone for so long, even if Jared and Embry were patrolling around his house at the moment.

"If you keep pacing like that you'll leave a hole in the ground." Jacob heard a clear voice and turned to see Edward standing there holding Bella close by the waist.

Jacob ignored his sarcastic remark and kept on pacing, not even bothering to say hi to Bella. He was still mad at her.

"Jacob, you're not still mad are you?" Bella asked.

What do you think? He thought and ignored her question.

"He is Bella." Edward answered for the shifter.

"Don't read my mind!" the shifter snapped at Edward.

"Jacob, I really am sorry for the way I acted, I was just shocked about it, especially knowing that you imprinted on a guy." She said trying to find forgiveness.

"Bella you didn't say that because you were shocked. You were being selfish." The shifter said and could see Edward pulling her closer.

"I know, I just…I'm sorry."

"Jacob," Alice called as she opened the door and came out, "I couldn't really see much. I was able to see a blond boy who I assume was Draco. I also saw a shadow that wasn't like a shadow," the pixie tried to explain, "it was like a black mist almost. It was after Draco and he was running from it."

Jacob was worried. A black mist-like shadow after Draco? Is that what he's afraid of?

"What's going on?" Bella asked upon seeing the worried faces.

"Someone besides Victoria is after Jacob's imprint." Edward answered Bella's question. Jacob was too worried for Draco to yell at Edward for reading his mind.

"I'm sorry I couldn't see more but…" Alice cut herself off as her eyes glazed over with a vision.

"Jacob, stop Draco! The spell, it's too powerful for him. It'll kill him!" Alice yelled at Jacob who quickly phased and ran back to Draco's.

'Embry, Jared, where is Draco?' Jacob asked through their mind link.

'He's inside his house. Why what's going on?' Embry asked.

'Stop him from casting any spell! It'll kill him!' Jacob said.

'We're on it.' He then lost his connection from Embry and Jared as they must have phased back to human.

When Jacob got to the blonds house he phased back and ran inside. He grabbed the blanket that was lying on the couch - his shorts were shredded when he phased - covered himself and ran upstairs. He stopped in his tracks when he saw Embry and Jared holding the blond down on the desk chair. Embry held onto the blonds shoulders while Jared kept Draco's wand out of reach.

"Jacob, can you please tell them to let me go?" Draco asked when he saw Jacob in the door way.

"It's OK, you can let him go now."

"You asked them to do that?" Draco asked as he stood up from the chair.

"I'm sorry, Alice, one of Carlisle's foster kids had a vision that you would cast a spell too strong for you and it would kill you."

Draco sighed and sat heavily on the bed. "So much for my research." He said and his head drooped.

"What research?" Jacob asked as he grabbed a pair of shorts that he had left there just in case his were shredded and put them on.

"I've been doing research, trying to find a spell that would allow me to conceal me and my house from any magical being trying to find me to do me harm. I thought I almost had the spell worked out and I was going to do it tonight."

"We'll be outside." Jared said and he and Embry left the two alone. They gave them their privacy when they realized that Draco was probably headed to another breakdown.

"Draco, won't you please tell me who is after you and why?"

Draco let out a small breath. "There was a war within the Wizarding world. It was because the dark lord…Voldemort," He said the name with difficulty, "wanted every mud blood, wizards who were born of non-magical people, dead. There were two wars actually. The first one ended when he was somehow defeated by a boy who was only 1 year old. His name is Harry Potter."

"The one from the letter?" the shifter asked.

"Yes. He began going to the Wizarding School at the same time I did, but we became rivals and didn't get along. The dark lord started to look for ways to bring himself back and then in my fourth year, he returned. My father was one of his followers but he did it to protect me and my mother. The dark lords' followers were called death eaters and they bore the mark of the dark lord. Then in my sixth year I was…" Draco stopped. He was afraid to tell Jacob, afraid that he'd hate him.

"Draco its ok, you can tell me."

The blond took in a breath and continued, "…I was forced to serve the dark lord and I was given the mark. He told me to kill the headmaster of the school and I did everything possible to do it. In the end my godfather killed him to prevent me from becoming a murderer." Draco had tears running down his cheeks. He was afraid to look at Jacob and find hatred or disgust in his look. Then he felt Jacob's warm arms wrap around him and pulled him into a hug.

"Don't you hate me?" Draco asked wearily.

"Why would I hate you? Because of what you did? You were forced to do it, Draco, and besides, that's all in the past now." The shifter said and Draco's tears flowed freely. Draco was happy that Jacob didn't hate him for it and so he continued with Jacob holding him in a sideways embrace.

"To make it short, Harry finally defeated the dark lord with the help of my mother, but then every death eater that was captured was arrested and placed in Azkaban, a Wizarding Prison. I was also arrested and I was there for a month before my trial. If it wasn't for Harry and his friends, I would have been found guilty. Then I moved here the same week I was release."

"So then who is this Bellatrix?"

"She's my aunt."

"Your aunt…and she wants to kill you?" Jacob asked in disbelief.

"She was a very loyal follower of the dark lord. During the final battle, she realized my betrayal and she fought me. She's the one who broke my ribs. She was intercepted before she was able to kill me but she escaped. Now she seems to be gathering all the death eaters who escaped and I'm positive she wants me dead."

"Wait, you said she broke your ribs?" Jacob asked in surprise.

"Yes, why?"

"But you said you were in Azkaban for a month, and when you moved here, they were barely healing."

"My wounds weren't treated until after I was released."

"I'm so sorry Draco." The shifter held him tightly. "I wish you wouldn't have suffered that pain for so long."

"The pain I could handle. I was just glad when I didn't have to return to Azkaban. The Wizarding prison is a lot worse than a muggle prison. Its guards are creatures that suck out your soul, something worse than death. But their very presence makes you unable to feel any happiness. The prison itself is a dark cold place and the screams…" Draco shut his eyes as he felt himself reaching too far into the memory of the dreadful place.

"Forget about it. Don't think of that place anymore," Jacob soothed as he felt the blond trembling in his arms. "Think about now, you're free and you're safe because I'll protect you."

Draco looked up at the shifter, "I still don't understand why you care about me so much." They stared into each others eyes and Draco found himself looking down at the shifters round full lips.

Why am I feeling this way for him? I'm straight for pete's sake! Draco thought and quickly looked away from the shifters lips and broke his hold on him.

"Thank you for, um, not um, not hating me for what I've done." Draco said flustered. "Let's go downstairs, yea? I'm kinda thirsty."

Jacob had noticed that Draco had stared at his lips and then he thought it was cute the way the blond was flustered.

I know you're starting to feel something, Draco. Jacob thought and was smiling discreetly.

When the two got downstairs, they both heard the doors of a car closing.

"Who's here?" Draco asked in surprise.

"The leeches." Jacob said in dislike.

"What?" the blond got scared for a second thinking they were about to get attacked.

"Oh, not Victoria." Jacob said quickly to ease the blond, "it's just some of Carlisle's family and Bella." Jacob could smell each of them and wasn't all that pleased that Bella was there.

"Bella? She's a muggle right?"

"Yea."

"Winky please keep yourself hidden from the muggle girl." Draco told winky who was cleaning the living room.

"Yes master Malfoy." She said and disappeared with a 'pop'.

Jacob opened the door then and saw the 3 Cullens plus Bella as they waited on the porch.

"Was he OK?" Alice asked as soon as the door was opened.

"Yea, he was planning on doing it tonight." The shifter was sure not to say anything to let Bella know what Draco was.

"What was he going to do that would have killed him?" Bella asked.

"Nothing important." Jacob said and moved inside to let them in. Bella felt her cheeks flush in anger that no one would tell her but she was mostly angry of how Jacob brushed her question off.

"Draco this is Alice, Jasper, Edward, and Bella." The shifter introduced them.

"Hello, it's nice to meet you." The boy greeted shyly.

"It's good to meet you too." Alice came over and hugged the boy. "Your blood smells different." She said in surprise.

"It's probably because of my…heritage." Draco used 'heritage' to refer to the magic that coursed through his blood so as not to let Bella know.

They're all keeping something from me, even Draco. Bella thought in anger. She didn't like this boy at all.

"Would you like to sit down?" Draco offered and directed them all into the living room. Jacob automatically took a seat next to Draco and the others watched in amusement except for Bella who thought it was sickening.

To think, Jacob acted that way around me and then got over me so quickly so fast. She was jealous and angry.

"So why are you all here?" Jacob asked a bit rudely. He wanted to be alone with Draco and the leeches were keeping him from it.

"We just wanted to make sure he was OK and also to meet him." The pixie-like vampire said with a smile.

They were all engaged in conversation for a while then. Draco talked about his home in London and school, but he was sure to leave out the magical part of it.

When Bella excused herself to use the bathroom, Edward asked something that had been bothering him since they arrived.

"Why can't I read your mind?"

"You can read people's minds?" the blond asked curiously.

"Yea and it's annoying." Jacob complained.

"I've learned to block my mind and I'm so used to keeping it blocked I do it unconsciously. So, Jasper do you have a special ability too?"

"Yes, I can control the emotions of those around me." The curly blond headed vampire said. Then Bella came back.

"Jacob, our graduation is tomorrow and Alice is having a party at their house. You should come." Bella invited the shifter enthusiastically but ignored Draco purposely.

"You should come." Alice said smiling, "You'll come too right?" She asked the blond and Bella lost her smile.

"Sure." Draco said shyly.

"If Draco is going then I'll go." the shifter said smiling and his response made the blond blush.

Bella looked at the blond in disdain. She was starting to really hate the boy.

After a while the Cullen's and Bella left much to Jacob's relief. Winky prepared dinner for Draco and Jacob and they ate in silence. The blond felt a bit awkward now that he was alone with Jacob and he tried to distract himself with Fire Whiskey.

"Draco, you're drinking too much." The shifter warned after the blonds' fifth glass.

"I'm fine, I've drank a lot more than this before." Draco's eyes were getting droopy and Jacob knew that he was getting drunk.

Draco drank two more glasses of Fire Whiskey before Jacob took the bottle away.

"That's enough Draco."

"Give it back…I'm not done drinking..." the blonds' eyes were closing and he rested his head on the table and looked like he fell asleep.

Jacob sighed before he got up, picked the blond up in his arms and carried him upstairs. When he laid the boy on the bed the blond opened his eyes, grabbed his wand and cast a spell on himself that turned his clothes into his pajamas. He put his wand on the night stand and closed his eyes again. Jacob smiled and pulled the covers over him. He then went and brushed his teeth and went back and got into bed beside Draco. As soon as he was under the covers Draco moved over and cuddled up to his side.

"So warm…you're so warm." The blond mumbled and latched onto Jacobs arm.

Jacob smiled and turned on his side so that he could hug Draco closer.

"I love you." The shifter whispered into the blonds' hair and fell asleep.
