Draco was unsure how to acclimate the new information he'd received. For the first time since returning to Hogwarts he felt completely out of sorts. Harry Potter childhood nemesis and current erotic fantasy was his soul mate. Well probably all signs were pointing that way anyhow. He was a Veela. Veela have soul mates. Harry had kissed him and possibly invaded his dreams. Harry had stood up for him despite their past. All in all soul mates was the only thing that made sense.
Except that it was Harry Potter he was talking about. The same Harry Potter who had saved the world, who had pulled Draco out of the Fiendfyre when by all rights he should have left him to burn. Draco just couldn't process it. It was too impossible except that it was almost definitely the truth.
Draco sat quietly on his bed thinking it all over. He just didn't know what to do. He wanted to be with Harry. He knew that but it seemed so wrong. What would his parents say? What if they disowned him? His mother he could talk to and he imagined she wouldn't care much but Lucius? Harry Potter was the reason Lucius was in Azkaban. Draco sighed. He truly loved his parents.
He'd been thankful to avoid Azkaban considering his war crimes. He'd understood why Lucius hadn't been as lucky. Lucius deserved to be right where he was; as much as that might hurt Draco it was the truth. If Draco decided to do this and be with Harry would Lucius disown him? Would he hate him? Draco had to know but he couldn't. He wasn't allowed to visit Lucius and Lucius wasn't allowed to send or receive mail.
Then Draco thought of a solution. A mad solution one that might not even work but . . . It was worth a try.
Harry was still in the hospital wing. Madam Pomfrey had been willing to release him pretty much as soon as he'd come around but he'd insisted that he really didn't feel well. She allowed him to stay mostly because she had a soft spot for him. She went through the motions of casting diagnostics but they both knew he was hiding.
Harry woke from a nap midway through the second day to the smell of Draco. Harry knew he was there without even opening his eyes. The scent of him filled Harry up giving him an instant erection even before he opened his eyes. When he finally did Draco was there watching him. Harry wanted to grab him, wanted to pin him down and claim him. He reigned it in.
"Draco" He said simply pushing himself into a sitting position. Draco was sitting in the chair next to his bed and almost seemed surprised to be addressed.
"Potter, You're a Veela" Draco said simply. Harry eyed him nervously and nodded his head acknowledging the fact.
"I'm your soul mate aren't I?" Draco asked in a way that told Harry he already knew the answer. Harry simply nodded again. Hearing Draco acknowledge it made the heat travel through his body in a pleasant wave.
"I didn't realize a simple stunner could put you in the hospital wing over night." Draco said looking around. Harry flushed and shrugged.
"My Veela constitution is. . .er. . . affected differently." Harry replied hoping Draco couldn't see through the rather weak like. Draco quirked an eyebrow at him, clearly he wasn't fooled.
"Well then as your soul mate I need a favor. I want to see my father and given who you are. I think you should be able to arrange it." Harry was shocked. This was the last thing he'd expected out of Draco's mouth. For a moment he couldn't speak so he simply nodded.
"Good then, let me know when it hass been arranged." With that Draco stood and walked toward the door. Harry watched him walk fighting the Veela inside him who was screaming to grab him and shag that smug look off the other mans face. It wasn't until the door closed behind him that Draco's words really processed. When they did Harry jumped out of bed and sprinted after him.
Draco smiled to himself as he slipped out of the hospital wing. He'd never dreamed it would be that easy. He didn't turn when he heard the door open and close behind him. It wasn't until Harry grabbed his arm that Draco realized maybe it wasn't going to be easy after all.
Harry pushed him up against the wall. His eyes had taken on the darkly intense gleam that Draco now realized must be his Veela side showing through. Harry had Draco by the front of his robes pressed up against the wall. Harry was taller than Draco and had lifted him up so they were eye to eye.
"You just asked me a favor Draco," Harry said his voice was low and breathy. Draco swallowed, the look on Harry's face reminded him sharply of his dreams making his whole body flush with heat. He nodded slightly acknowledging Harry's statement. Harry crushed his lips against Draco's kissing him hard without relaxing his grip on Draco's robes.
Draco gasped giving Harry access to deepen the kiss his hot tongue exploring Draco's mouth. Draco whimpered as Harry moved his knee in between Draco's legs forcing them to spread apart. Draco felt Harry brush against his cock as he did so eliciting another moan. Harry broke away and for a moment there was only his heavy breathing in Draco's ear.
"You understand Draco, that if I do this thing for you. You will owe me. What are you willing to do to repay me for my help?" As Harry spoke he released Draco's robes and slowly ran his hands along Draco's chest and down his arms until his hands were holding gently onto both wrists. Suddenly Harry's grip tightened. Tugging both of Draco's arms above his head, Harry transferred one of Draco's wrist's to his left hand leaving his right hand free to drift slowly down Draco's body.
Draco couldn't speak. He could barely think as Harry's hand ghosted down his chest. Even through his clothes Harry's touch was driving him mad. Above his head Harry held his wrists so tightly they hurt but somehow this only served to arouse Draco more. Draco felt rather hysterical he was dizzy with lust and he wondered vaguely if Harry was using his allure on him. Draco doubted it.
Harry seemed to be waiting for Draco to answer. He kept his eyes on Draco's face the dark intensity never wavering. His other hand however had found the bottom of Draco's shirt and was slowly tugging it out of his waistband. Draco moaned when he felt Harry's exploring hand touch the skin of his abdomen. His fingers ghosted up Draco's chest until Harry found his nipple. Draco couldn't believe this was happening. Harry Potter had him pinned to a wall with his hand on his nipple in the middle of a public corridor. Anytime now classes could be dismissed and the corridor would flood with students.
"Draco, I asked you a question. I don't like waiting." Harry growled and then his gentle hand tightened on Draco's nipple twisting it painfully. Draco yelped if felt so fucking good. He felt like he might come in his pants if Harry kept this up. Harry shifted causing his leg to rub harshly against Draco's hard cock. Again Draco moaned but Harry's dark eyes never left his face. Draco realized he was still waiting for an answer. Panting he cleared his throat.
"Anything." Draco was surprised by the hoarse desperation of his tone. Harry smiled dangerously. He released Draco and stepped away. Draco gasped surprised and disappointed to find his hand free.
"Well then, I've got some letters to send." Harry turned as though to walk away when a thought seemed to hit him.
"Draco, if you touch yourself I'll punish you. You belong to me and now we both know it."
It was only after Harry had disappeared down the hall that Draco realized Harry had been barefoot and in his pajamas for the entire exchange.
