Notes: An abused boy finds out he's a wizard and a hero; his tormented mind rebels. One person sees through the misconceptions to the real Harry and treats him the way he deserves. How does this change them both and those around them. I hope the reunion of Viktor and Hermione as well as Draco's well-meaning attempts at match-making please you.

Chapter 14 - Harry's breakdown and discussion of the why and who would want Harry in danger.

Harry had buried himself in his bed as soon as he reaching their room after leaving the other Champions- the real one and the judges, ignoring Draco. His guilt over his failed childish Dudley-like temper tantrum eating at him. He slept fitfully all night, haunted by nightmares. He finally slipped out of bed and went into their bathroom around four in the morning. He felt to his knees in front of the toilet and was promptly sick.

Draco hadn't slept anymore then Harry, he felt his lover's anger that was entwined with his fear. He said nothing, what could he do? He couldn't make or change the cruel reality, Harry was a Triwizard Champion go away. He followed Harry, slipped an arm around the smaller teen's waist and rubbed his back, 'I'm here. You're not alone.'

Harry shook, 'I am alone, papa can't help me and neither can Remus. There has to be a way out of this mess.'

Draco's voice quivered, 'There is only one way, I won't let you. The only way out of a magical contract is you have to die. I almost lost you four times already I can't handle that again.'

Harry whimpered, feeling sick again, 'I don't want to die. I want whoever did this to me punished. It's not fair."

Draco kissed his neck, casting a spell that washed Harry's mouth out. 'Hush love. I won't let you die. I'll protect you.'

Their connection had evolved so they no longer truly had to have eye contact to communicate telepathically.

Harry turned and curled up in Draco's lap, how could Draco protect him against an invisible enemy who entered him in a contest that could see him dead?

'Adder, trust me. We can do this. Together, like we handled Quirrell, like we handled the Basilisk. We're partners, mates." he kissed Harry's ring that matched his own, then lifted his lover's chin gently, kissing his forehead, closed eyes and nose before covering his terrified Adder's lips with his own.

Harry let Draco soothe him, 'Is it okay if I still fail? I don't want the attention, everyone is already mad at me.'

Draco snorted, 'Let them be mad! You did nothing wrong, prove to them you belong. Show them that you're just as good as they are.'

Harry pouted 'That blond called me a little boy. I maybe little but I'm not a little boy and being tiny isn't my fault! It's Aunt Petunia's!'

Draco kissed him deeply, 'I know Adder,' he felt a roar of rage at Lily Evan's family, starving his Adder and treating him like house elf. In his arms Harry was treated the way the heir to an ancient Wizarding bloodline should be. 'You are perfect just the way you are Adder. My beautiful Harry,' he cupped his face in his hand and kissed him deeper, filled with tongue and passion.

Harry moaned softly, 'Dray…co…' his beloved Draco could always make the bad things go away.

Draco scooped him up and carried him back to bed, 'I love you.'

Harry's arms wrapped Draco's neck, 'I love you too…'

'I won't leave you. I'll always be with you at your side, holding your hand.' Draco said laying him down and kissing his neck as he undressed Harry. His fingers trailing over each scar, 'so precious, all mine.'

Harry whispered, reaching out to Draco's mind, 'yours, just yours.' Draco was the only person he trusted to see his body like this. The fall last year had broken his bones so they were healed properly for once but his skin was still crisscrossed with scars from being thrown into things, where he had been belted until blood ran, he had been hit with frying pans or whatever was handy.

Draco kissed the scars that marred the soft pale skin that covered Harry's chest, chuckling as Harry shivered, 'Relax. Forget everything but me.' his hands slid up and down his boyfriend's thighs. His own clothes magically ending up in their laundry basket and half-thrusting his prick against Harry's thigh, Draco moaned softly.

Harry pulled Draco up to kiss him, whimpering softly as he felt Draco's larger erection press into his. "Dray…"

Draco kissed him, holding the tiny teen close and letting his hips roll, his erection moving against Harry's. Frotting, something they hadn't done yet. Draco had touched Harry's member until he came many times but he was slow to let their relationship deepen. Uncle Sev and Remus were a good example; a deeply committed couple, very much in love but they were taking it just as slowly- if you ignored the fact that they lived together and shared the same bed. Remus was getting more obvious in his affection and it would be only a matter of before he took the final step in their courtship and proposed. It would be a while before Draco took that step himself, as intimate as he and Harry were emotionally they weren't ready mentally.

Harry whimpered clinging to Draco, feeling Draco's bits pressed tightly to his own and rock against him set shivers of pleasure up his spine that radiated out to the rest of his body.

It didn't take them long to come, moaning into their kiss.

Draco vanished their cum away and the blanket covered their naked bodies. He reached for a hand, the one with the ring and brought it to his lips. "I love you, nothing will change that. I know you didn't enter that tournament, I'll help you. Trust me, you'll win. If you don't want the money we can donate it to a worthy cause. Just because we're younger doesn't mean anything, we could have taken our O.W.L.S. before now but we wanted to wait. You can hold your own against Diggory, Delacour and Viktor, I believe in you."

Harry closed his eyes, "Thank you."

XoooooX

They spent the morning in bed, Harry curled up on Draco's chest conversing silently. Breakfast was brought in by an elf, chocolate pancakes with strawberries.

The stress of being forced into the Tournament was making Harry sick, Draco was worried for him.

Harry took one whiff of breakfast and was running to the bathroom.

Draco calmed him, "Come on love, you have to eat. You're too skinny already."

Harry let Draco put him back to bed, nibbling but eventually dozing off.

Draco cast a sleep charm on him, guilt wracking him because he did so.

There was a knock on the door about eleven.

Draco covered Harry with a blanket and put on his own robe before opening the door.

It was Remus.

"Oh good, you're up. We have to talk."

"With or without Harry?" was Draco's quick response, he trusted Uncle Sev and Remus but right now his Adder seemed fragile.

Remus chewed on his lip, "Without for now."

Draco nodded, "Let me dress. I'll be right out. I'm going to cast some wards to let me know when he starts to wake.'

Remus smiled warily, "That's fine.'

When Draco emerged from his room he found Severus curled up in his dressing gown on the sofa in Remus' arms while Percy and Lucius had taken the arm chairs. He sighed, "This is about the tournament."

Lucius nodded, "I'm suspicious that Moody is right, that entering Harry is a plot. Probably Death Eater, not that there are many of us inner circle free. It's mostly just Nott, myself, Crabbe, Goyle, Rosier, the Carrow twins, Rowle, Gibbon and Yaxley. Not that I claim allegiance anymore."

Severus nodded, "You're forgetting myself, Avery, McNair and Karkaroff."

Draco blinked, "Headmaster Karkaroff?"

Lucius nodded, "He was a lower level Death Eater, he never rose very high in the ranks barely enough to get marked. Most of the ones who got away weren't important enough to get marked. Can't track someone you can't prove was a Death Eater, it was rare to actually see faces if you weren't in the inner circle. Most Death Eaters always wore masks, even I didn't know all of them. The names I learned I either went to school with, was recruited by or the Dark Lord knew personally. There was a special connection between Avery's father, Bellatrix's father-in-law, Rosier's father, Mulciber's father and Theodore's father. They had been with the Dark Lord since his days in Hogwarts."

Percy was a little shocked, he'd heard rumors that Lord Malfoy was more closely aligned then he'd publicly admitted. To hear his boss admit that he knew more then he'd told the Wizengamot was shocking; Lucius had kept Ginny's involvement with the Opening of the Chamber of Secret from becoming public knowledge, offering him a job, introducing him to powerful people and making him liaison between the Hogwarts Governors and the Ministry. He had a place of his own to share with Oliver and Lucius had helped them get tickets to the Quidditch World Cup as well as excellent camping spots.

Remus already knew about Severus' involvement, it was mostly just brewing and spying on Dumbledore. Severus had sworn he never cast the Killing Curse but wouldn't answer about the other Unforgivable curses.

"Who do you think put Harry's name in the cup? Any of the Dark Lord's gang?" Draco asked.

His father shook his head, "Not likely, this was planned. It takes a keen mind to figure out how to make the Goblet of Fire spit out a fourth name. Moody was right, a very powerful Confundus Charm would work. All you had to do was convince it that there was a fourth school in the tournament and have Harry be the only entry from it."

Severus nodded, "It makes sense. I could have done it," he coloured, "I mean I would be capable of it. I wouldn't let Harry compete though."

Draco said quietly, "I could probably manage it."

Lucius rolled his snake headed cane between his hands, "Of course you could, even I could do it." he cleared his throat, "if I wanted my son to kill me that is."

Remus shook his head, "I couldn't, I don't have the power. I gain strength from my Creature side but not magic. Might explain why I excel at defense but fail at potions."

Severus squeezed his hand, "I brew well-enough for both of us."

Remus ran his thumb over his mate's palm, "That you do, I'm willing to fetch and carry so that you can brew."

Draco chuckled, "You sound like his dog."

Remus nipped Severus' neck.

Severus yelped, "Not a dog! A Bloody randy wolf!"

"Your randy wolf."

Draco wanted that, their closeness. He wanted the relationship they had.

Lucius cleared his throat, "Non-bent wizard here, calm down Remus. Don't make me cast a Cold-Shower charm on you."

Remus chuckled, "I'd get Sevy to take it off."

"We were discussing who would enter your pup in the Tournament." Draco interrupted.

Severus blushed, "yes, we were." muttering under his breath, "Stupid wolf." only to get his arse pinched.

Percy turned to Lucius, "If you were to plan it how would you do it?"

Lucius leaned back in his chair, "Polyjuice potion. I'd brew a large batch of it."

Severus snickered.

Lucius sneered at his best friend, "I may not be as good as you are and I trust your brewing compared to my own but I would brew the Polyjuice potion. I would kidnap someone trusted, someone whose presence near the cup wouldn't be notice. I would hide in the shadows and confound the Goblet of Fire nonverbally. Then I would Imperio a student who could cross your Age Line Severus. You only created it to recognize only ineligible Hogwarts students knowing that the Durmstrang and the Beauxbatons students would all be of age. Likely someone was Imperioed into carrying the slip with Harry's name on it into the circle and submitted it at the same time as their own. Best way to accomplish that would be to do it in plain sight. I'd chose a Durmstrang student, considering the fact that Dark Arts and Neutral magic are taught there, the dark Magic residue of having an Unforgivable cast on them would be less likely to be noticed."

Draco nodded, "A decent plan, but I know Viktor wasn't Imperioed. We spent most of the day with him. I didn't spend as much time with the Durmstrang students so I wouldn't know who the unlucky person would be." he knew the signs of being Imperioed, too well…

Percy was surprised, "You see things differently."

Lucius shrugged, "I was raised steeped in the Dark Arts as was Narcissa, the Blacks and the Malfoys were trained to cast Unforgivables since they were young." obviously, omitting that not only could Draco cast it that he had used the Cruciatus Curse as a form of punishment prior to Draco receiving his wand. Knowing that his son had nearly killed the Lord at almost nineteenth months made him warily of getting on the wrong side of his very powerful son.

Severus leaned into Remus, "So we know the how and perhaps the why but not the who."

Lucius nodded, "Not all that helpful."

Draco sipped his coffee, "On a happier note, Percy do you know if Oliver is free this Saturday? I thought maybe after seeing Viktor fly he'd like a chance to fly with someone who flew in the world cup."

Percy blinked, the change of subject rather unnerving, "I think so."

Draco chuckled, "Good, because Gryffindor needs a Keeper. Harry is going to fly as their Seeker against Viktor. We have Hufflepuff beaters, two Slytherin Chasers, a Ravenclaw Keeper and a Chaser. Adrian Pucey is captaining our team, I'm flying as a Chaser. We thought we could have an exhibition game, sort of a welcome event. Uncle Sev and Remus already approved of the event, everyone but Oliver agreed. I thought it would be interesting, besides, Oliver is a rookie and he wouldn't have much chance of playing against Viktor for quite some time. We'd probably be too easy for them."

Lucius laughed, "Chaser? I approve. You want media coverage?" he played Chaser for a season to impress Narcissa.

Draco smirked, "I want Adder to have his options open, I think he could go pro. He could be the next Viktor Krum. He isn't quite at Viktor's level yet but I think the contrast will astonishing. Besides, as far as I know Quidditch was Quidditch the last time the Triwizard Tournament was played. It is astonishing that three of the four Champions are Seekers. Perhaps if the game goes well we can play another round and let Cedric and Hufflepuff play against a mixed team. We would only have to exchange our Hufflepuff Beaters for Gryffindor."

Lucius chuckled, "Using Quidditch to make things equal? I like your politics."

Draco raised an eyebrow, "You better." he meant it.

Draco is so cute and protective. Aww Lucius we love you for your sneaky mind. So what do you think? Good? Bad? Can't wait for Quidditch? Promise Blaise and Charlie return soon.
