While Pansy and Blaise had run off to fight two of the three present forgotten, the rest of the Order were discussing what they could possibly do to help.

From what they'd seen when Hermione had gone against Yasmin, they didn't stand a chance against them with the power they already had. Harry was ready to find out if he could, but Hermione had held him back and said it would be better if Cho went in his stead. She knew what to do and wouldn't be caught off guard.

Secretly, Hermione was scared something would happen to Harry since he wouldn't back down even if he didn't have a chance. She remembered how it felt to have a hole ripped into your stomach and flinched at the memory.

With Cho they knew for certain she stood on even ground.

In her thoughts, she forgot the fact that certain elementals were stronger than others, just as certain wizards and witches were stronger than others as well. No one was going to be the same level of power.

The three females were good at healing spells, both having sat with Madame Pomphrey of their own time in free periods to learn the art. Hermione had done so since she knew it was needed with the upcoming fight. A logical need. Ginny had done so since the Boy-Who-Lived had been hers at some point, and had wanted to be prepared in case he'd needed her. A loving need. Luna had merely been bored. A need to pass the time.

All three had proved to be helpful at the final battle, and would be of need today as well.

Harry, Ron and Neville, were good at moving stuff aside, or at least that was what Hermione said when she belted out orders of what to do.

They had run off in their separate directions. When one of the boys found someone truly in danger, they were to fire off red sparks so the girls could help them. If they weren't in as bad a shape, they were to move them away from the clamours of battle and closer to the outer walls.

Cho and Draco stood stiffly watching the scene before them. Cho glanced at Draco awkwardly, then back at the unfolding battles. She sighed as a rumbling noise became present and a wall of solid rock turned quickly into an opening chasm. Blaise was angry again.

Draco watched her as she scanned the section constantly dowsed in water with a mothering stare. She was proud that Pansy was managing to battle without powers, although she was curious as to why she chose to and how she was doing it.

Once again, Cho bought her stare towards Draco.

"He's going to end up doing more damage than they are." Her voice was timid, unsure whether or not the blond would reciprocate.

From stories of Blaise about Draco to those of Pansy about Ice, they had been classed as two entirely different beings. She hadn't seen the difference yet, but who was she to know whether he was himself at the moment.

"You're right," he replied politely. Cho sighed once more and stared out at the awaiting purple in the middle of the area.

"My husband needs help, you know."

"He's a strong man, what are you implying?" Draco stared at her in half anger, unsure whether she was trying to tell him something, or whether she had just insulted one of his dearest friends.

"We both know who's making that ruckus in the middle Draco. Do you really want me to be the one to confront him?" He gulped and shook his head slowly. With a smile of encouragement and a squeeze of his shoulder, she walked off in the direction where the earth seemed to heave out of the ground and slam back down in heavy thuds.

He agreed. Blaise was truly angry, and for such a stupid reason. It wasn't that he meant defending Accacia was a stupid reason; just that Blaise was going all out when no one else seemed to. If they had been serious about the attack, Accacia would have been demolished by now. They were biding time, and Draco believed he knew the reason why.

He ran past torn out trees and empty rivers, past streets unearthed and houses cut in half. He thought he saw Pansy talking to Yasmin at some point, but didn't stop to think about it. He was running as fast as his legs could take him, but for some reason, it seemed like forever before he walked across the small wooden bridge and onto the island in the middle.

The towers were untouched, the area still in one piece. Although angry at the situation, Draco was happy the man hadn't joined in on the killing spree.

"You took your time." The soft voice was laced with something akin to impatience.

"You're having temper tantrums now, Saito?" Draco snorted as he took in the smile across the others face.

"You left." Draco crossed his arms with a scowl across his face.

"I did tell you I'd be gone for three whole days. Emphasis on the whole. Don't act as if I just up and left you." Saito stepped forwards and placed a hand gently on a pale cheek. He'd missed its softness, even if it had only been but a few days.

"I didn't really think you'd leave. I'm worried, Draco." The blond couldn't help but smile at the gentleness this man really could possess. He felt bad for having to leave. Since they'd started living together, they had never been apart for more than five hours. It was difficult to suddenly go without for the duration of three days.

"What for? Three days will be over before you know it." Slowly, Draco extended his hand to lay upon Saito's arm, softly rubbing it back and forth, hoping the contact would help the man in the days to come.

"I know you don't think its important, Draco, but I do. He's there, and he'll want you back, I know it."

"You could have told me this without destroying this place, Saito. I should be very angry with you right now." Draco stepped closer and gently laid his forehead against Saito's collar bone. A tan arm wrapping round his waist.

"But you're not, as much as I know you want to be."

"How did you find it?" Draco asked forlornly. He had hoped Accacia would be one area of his life left untouched by the forgotten. Saito slowly lifted his chin so icy blue met a dark shade of violet.

"I have tasted the many pleasures of Draco many times. Have felt your power surround and entice me, felt it in my veins and out my breath. I am inside you, Draco, as much as you are inside me. The feeling of you has become so familiar that I can track your icy path no matter how much you try to hide it." Draco clenched his jaw in a sudden need to kiss the man. He was supposed to be angry!

Draco hadn't missed the implication that Saito also knew where he currently resided.

"Why did you do this?" Draco asked hesitantly, eyes begging to know he hadn't done it just for fun.

"To warn you, Draco. You know I don't like doing this. If you don't come back to me after those three days..." Draco's lips touched his in a searing kiss. Lips parting roughly as pale arms wrapped quickly around a tan neck. He didn't want to hear Saito threaten him, nor did he want to know what he would do if he didn't return.

It was that damned goodness that Harry had instilled in him. Some part of him wanted to pretend that Saito wasn't the enemy, that he wasn't capable of killing like the others could.

He supposed this was how Harry had felt when he still thought he was a Death Eater to be.

"I'll come back," Draco insisted. "You know I won't be won over with pretty words this time round."

A chasm rumbled between them, and Draco stumbled backwards, not having suspected it. He glared up to see Blaise stare angrily at Saito. If looks could kill, Saito would have been disintegrated to nothingness.

Alakai had grown bored quickly and had jumped from one shadow to the next. Blaise, now unable to find him, decided to go after the other elemental. He needed to calm down fast, or at least punch someone to vent it all out.

"Get away from him you bastard!"

"Blaise! What the hell are you doing!" Draco shouted, the temperature took a sudden plummet as the grass below his feet started to glitter with ice. Not paying the blond any notice, Blaise raised a slab of earth from the ground and threw it at the one who had dared create this whole mess.

Saito smirked at him in an attempt to stop his laughter. Electricity shot forth around him, seemingly coming forth from the ground in purple ropes as they lashed out and ripped the slab flying towards him to shreds.

The problem had been that the slab of earth Blaise had lifted had consisted of the majority of the island, and the chunks that flew from its shattered bulk were twice the height and width of Draco. They rebound into different directions, slamming into more of the buildings, and unfortunately, some of the towers.

Lights roof collapsed in on itself, the right side of Nature exploded into the air, a gaping hole now visible into its rooms. Ice lay shattered on the floor.

As the mass of the island had been lifted, a sudden roar of water rushing in to the newly created ditch that was the island filled their ears.

Saito glanced sadly at Draco and nodded his head. He could leave now. The water wouldn't do any damage to the blond. He also knew that Draco would not deceive him. He would wait three days and then Draco would come back to him.

Draco smiled proudly at him, and then Saito was gone. The blond now had other things to worry about, such as making sure he swam with the current of the water so he didn't get dragged under.

He now drifted in what seemed to be a massive lake. He was going to have a talk with Blaise about this later. Slowly, he swam to the tower that once was lit by light. Climbing onto one of the ledges, he started to remove debris so he could get Susan's wand.

Blaise saw what he was doing and went to Natures tower to save his wife's wand before the other side of it decided to topple over.

Now that the towers had been destroyed, they had to take their wands back. They were no longer of use to Accacia Meadow, nor were they protected from the outside world any longer either. They would create a new Meadow, a better one, but their wands were needed for that to happen.

Cho and Pansy looked about for the two, finding them searching the towers. When Saito had left, so had the other two.

By the time both Pansy and Cho had entered the other two towers, the rest of the Order came running to find out what had happened. They gasped at the implications of what that meant, but held their questions back for later, instead standing awkwardly to the side, waiting for the elementals to tell them what was going on.

Meeting back on dry land, Blaise counted the wands and frowned as he realised there were only four. He wiped a wet hand across his forehead, sweeping away the drops that threatened to run down his face.

"We're missing one?" He asked softly, hoping it hadn't been damaged.

"Probably in the lake," Draco sighed.

His thoughts were interrupted by sudden panicked shouts.

"Harry! No!" Cho shouted angrily. Pausing to survey the scene, he could make out Harry at the edge of the water, shoes and socks off, prepared to jump in after his wand.

"What's wrong? It's only a wand. A wand that needs to be saved before it breaks." Draco clenched his fists in terror, barely making out the words.

He had been wrong when he thought time had slowed when he ran for Saito. No, this moment right here, seemed to almost crash to a stop as he heard the pounding of his feet as he ran to stop Harry from retrieving it. He could make out Blaise do the same from the corner of his eye. Both of their hands outstretched to grab him before it was too late.

Then Harry jumped.

Blaise swore as he came to the edge of the crater. They hadn't even been that far from the waters edge! How had it taken the two of them this long to get there?

His head was throbbing, his eyes were burning, his throat constricted and breathing seemed the hardest thing to do. His vision swam momentarily, then his breath caught, his heart hammered. His ears rung and a dizzying sensation sent him staggering backwards, Blaise catching him before he could stagger further.

He could hear the dim hum of words, but could not make them out.

He felt like half his soul was being ripped out.

He knew instantly that Harry had found his wand.
