Author Notes: The story is finished and I will be posting one chapter a day. Here's the next chapter. Tell me what you think in a review please.
After only pausing for a minute to consider Lucas, he took Viktor's hand and they hurriedly made it back to his townhouse. As soon as they were inside, Viktor's mouth was devouring his. His kisses were hard. Hands quickly worked Harry out of his shirt, wanting to feel the heated skin. "I want you so much," Viktor huskily whispered. Viktor's tongue swirled on his pulse point, exciting him when he felt Harry's pulse quicken.
Harry pushed Viktor away, pushing him towards his bedroom. As they lied on the bed, Harry put his tongue to good use. With Viktor's shirt bunched up around his neck, Harry suckled on Viktor's nipples, before licking along his abs. Viktor pulled on Harry's hair and their lips met in another fierce kiss, teeth clashing painfully. Harry's erection was painful as he was sure Viktor's was. Their hips pressed together, both feeling highly constrained in their trousers.
Viktor's hand reached in between them, his hand slipping underneath the waistband of the trousers. It was definitely a tight fit. He cupped Harry's raging erection, hearing the younger whimper so prettily in need. He could feel the precum already. He felt like he would burst with this need to consume Harry.
Harry wanted this so bad, but there was a nagging feeling that wouldn't leave him alone. He did everything he could to ignore it: kissing Viktor's addicting lips, pressing himself closer to Viktor's hard body, and moving into Viktor's warm hand to get off, but nothing was making the feeling go away. He knew why too.
With a groan of disappointment, he rolled away from the quidditch star. He sat on the edge of the bed with his back turned to the older man. Because of this, he didn't see Viktor's worry that didn't have anything to do with not getting laid. "Harry, if you don't want to do anything, you can just be honest about it. Don't worry about hurting my feelings." Quieter he mumbled, "I should have realized you wouldn't be interested."
Harry's sighed. "I do want to, more than you can possible imagine." He faced Viktor. "The only other person I ever felt this type of desire for was Lucas." Viktor's eyes hardened and an animalistic growl could be heard rumbling. Harry hastily reassured him. "Don't get jealous; we're just friends. We had one night together and he gave me some much needed confidence, but he doesn't fuck anyone more than once." Harry conveniently left out the kiss they shared. He would tell Viktor so he understood why they had to find Lucas, but that was going to be at another time. "I slept around for awhile when I was twenty, just interested in fun. Since then, I've had boyfriends. I've still done casual sex every now and then when I've been single, but I want a steady relationship. I know about quidditch players and their flings. I don't want to be just another notch on your bedpost. I don't blame you if that was all you were interested in. After all, we haven't seen each other years, I'm just a muggle, and—"
"Harry," Viktor interrupted, "Just shut up and kiss me."
When Harry didn't move, feeling very uncertain, Viktor claimed his lips, greedily sucking on them. After a slight hesitation, Harry responded. Their lips moved against one another. Viktor made his ministrations gentler. He went to Harry's neck, licking it and loving the taste of him. Harry tilted his head, giving him more access.
Viktor's hand snuck their way back into Harry's trousers, palming his heated flesh. He was brought into quick orgasm, crying out into Viktor's mouth.
Viktor was pushed onto his back. Harry's mouth became level with his erection. He took it all at one time, using the skills he got from lots of practice. Viktor's movements were controlled; he was being very careful not to harm Harry or accidentally choke him. When Harry began to purposely scrape his teeth along the length, Viktor couldn't hold it anymore and shot himself down Harry's throat. The younger man drank it greedily. It tasted sweet and addictive, just like the rest of Viktor.
Their lips came together into another kiss; this one was coaxing and gentle. At the same time, it held promise of burning passion and desire. Viktor murmured against Harry's lips, "This better not be the last time. I don't want this to be the last time."
"I don't want it to be either," Harry agreed. They continued to kiss each other lazily, until both fell into the world of dreams.

The next day was not the best day. It was Sunday, which usually meant family day, but he had to find Lucas. After explaining the situation to Remus over the phone, Harry was excused after he promised to make up for it next weekend. Viktor was awake as Harry crept back into the bedroom. They shared a leisurely kiss that Viktor was trying to deepen, but Harry pulled away before that could happen. "We need to find Lucas."
Viktor groaned. "Those are two of the most unromantic words I have ever heard." At Harry's look, he deflated. "Why?"
Harry laughed nervously. He knew Viktor already felt slightly threatened after Harry confessed about the one night they spent together. Viktor would not be pleased. "You see…well…before you found us last night…ummm…uhhh—"
"Uhhhh what?" Viktor's voice was dangerous.
"He kissed me and moved away before it was spotted by you," Harry finished in a rush. He continued though before Viktor could reply, "I'm sure he just didn't want to ruin any chances of having you for one night though. After all, he has a reputation to keep."
"Then why kiss you?"
Harry nibbled his lips, an old nervous habit that never completely went away. "I haven't figured that one out yet."
"Well I have; he wants you." It was stated so simply that there was no room for arguments, but Harry argued anyways.
"What about the kiss you two shared on the dance floor; you two looked highly cozy. That's why I had left on my own in the first place."
"I'm not sure what was with the kiss, but who were you jealous of? Were you jealous of him for being able to kiss me, or of me for being able to kiss him?"
Harry pulled his hair. "I…I…I don't know." He continued in a rush. "Before you came around, everyone I slept with, I always compared to Lucas and they always fell short. No one could ever invoke feelings and desires as strong as they were with Lucas. I responded the exact same way to you though. I admit I felt something when Lucas kissed me last night; I always feel something when we are near, even if we are just standing in the same proximity not touching. I felt and always feel yearning, but I feel the exact same with you." Harry turned it around on Viktor. "What about you Viktor? You didn't seem to totally hate the kiss or find it utterly repulsive."
Viktor calmed his temper and did everything he could to get a hold of his raging jealousy. "You're right; I admit the kiss was amazing, and you're right. I felt a strong yearning for more. I feel the same way with you though. I'm sorry for getting mad. That wasn't fair to you. I think you just reminded me of my own feelings for Lucas and I lashed out. I hate not understanding what's going on inside of me."
"I forgive you Viktor, but now you understand why we have to find him. We need answers and I think he's the only one who can give them to us."
Viktor lips overtook Harry's lips, surprising the younger man in their urgency, but he replied in kind. They broke apart, panting heavily. "Don't take this the wrong way or think it's out of jealousy, but I think we should wait when it comes to finding Lucas." Harry opened his mouth, but Viktor didn't let him get in a word edgewise. "I sensed something from Lucas, something that makes me highly suspicious of him. I'm not saying he's a bad guy because he does seem nice; I'm saying that I don't think he's a normal human. I think he may be from the magical world."
"You think he's a wizard?"
Viktor shook his head no. "I don't think he's a wizard. What I was sensing was different. I do think he's magical though. I'm not saying he's dangerous, but until we know what he is, if I'm right that is, we shouldn't be anywhere near him."
Harry rolled his eyes. "Viktor, I've been alone with him many times. I've had sex with him and don't give me that look. We've been through that. He's had multiple opportunities to kill me. Even if he does normally kill, and I'm Not saying he does, I don't think he'd hurt me."
"Well…our feelings for him that equal our feelings for each other might have something to do with what he is. Please, I'm begging you Harry; let me go to the magical world to do some research first. I know you believe him to be a good person, but I could never forgive myself if anything happened to you. Allow me a couple of days for research. If I don't find anything, then we will search for him and confront him head on."
Harry agreed, making Viktor smile which quickly left his face when Harry continued. "I'm coming too."
"You told your godfathers you were going to the World Cup, and that would be your first trek into the magical world, and they'd be there to help you if you had problems. I don't think they'd like this idea very much."
"I love them with my whole heart; they're my family and I don't like being dishonest with them or breaking promises, but it will be faster to research with 2 pairs of eyes."
"Why not ask them to come along then? We would have 5 pairs of eyes then, cutting down research time even more."
Harry shook his head. "They wouldn't want me anywhere near him if Lucas was thought to be dangerous. I do not need or want them needlessly worrying about me. Either I come or we skip the research altogether and go look for Lucas."
Viktor knew he was beat; Harry was stubborn when he had his mind made up. "Fine, come on. Let's get dress and then head to the magical world. If you have any problems there, don't forget that I warned you. Also, I will not be held responsible if your godfathers should find out about this. I will use you for a human shield if I must."
Harry smiled beautifully, pecked Viktor's lips, and hurried to get dressed. Viktor dressed as well, but at a slower pace, forcing Harry to wait impatiently, especially as Viktor could have simply used magic to dress, but chose to go the slower route.

Viktor got them to the American version of the Leaky Cauldron, the point between the muggle and the wizarding world. Harry couldn't see what Viktor could, bringing home the point once again that he didn't have magic. He pressed closer to the hard body, seeking comfort. Viktor tilted his chin up and met his lips in gentle pressure. Harry responded, opening his mouth to allow Viktor's questing tongue in. Viktor's big hands gently rubbing his back lulled him into a sense of safety and security. He whimpered, feeling a flame of desire start to pool in his lower stomach.
They were brought out of their state though. "Is that Viktor Krum? Who is he kissing?" Many voices questioned similar things. Harry hid his head not wanting to draw any more attention to himself. For all he knew, it could get back to England that he was there in the arms of Viktor.
The quidditch star murmured a spell wandlessly. A cloak appeared and Viktor fixed it around Harry, putting the hood up to hide his face from view. They shared another chaste kiss before Viktor hurried them over to the floo. Many people tried to stop them and to find out who the mysterious person was that managed to capture the aloof Bulgarian's interest, but Viktor protected Harry from prying eyes. Viktor shouted out the destination, "Enchantress Library" before throwing the floo powder in. They disappeared into the flames together.
Harry gazed around. The library was big; there was no doubt about that. It might even surpass Hogwarts' library in size. "What is this library a part of Viktor for it to be so huge?"
He was striding to the reference desk. "It's the central Northern library. Everyone in the Northern Wizarding world comes here if they need to research. Many of the schools also use this library because there are only smaller magical schools in the Northern part and most of the smaller schools don't have a big enough library. Sometimes they need more references, so they have a floo system set up to go here. There's also charms and spells for those who come here from a school. It prevents them from leaving the building."
Harry met Viktor at the reference area. "So, what are we looking for? We don't know have any idea what Lucas is, if he's magical at all."
"We are going to go through an encyclopedia of magical beings. You spent enough time with him. You should be able to recognize behavioral patterns and characteristics that you and I read about." Viktor took out his wand. "Accio All Magical Creatures Encyclopedia." The book flew to his hand and he used magic to make it easier to catch. "Let us get to work."
Harry opened a book only to laugh. "Some of these we don't even have to read about. Just by the name we know that Lucas couldn't possibly be it, such as an Acromantula, Ashwinder, Augurey, Basilisk, etc. Anything that is animal based without shape shifting abilities, we can cross off the list." They began to go through the list, skipping things they already knew about, creatures they knew Lucas had no chance of being.
Viktor came across Angel and read what they had out loud. "'Angels are said to be of enormous beauty, and often are not immediately recognized as angels. Some fly through the air, some become invisible. They are described as pure and bright as heaven. Consequently, they are said to be formed of fire and encompassed by light. Some are depicted as having wings, but no one really knows if that's true or simply legend.' Well Harry, what do you think?"
"Lucas definitely has beauty; anyone with eyes could see that. If he does fly or can become visible, it's not something we'd be able to see unless he willingly shows us. We have to remember that he found me relatively fast last night. He could have become invisible and flew to make it easier to find me, but that's something he would have to admit to us. No one knows if angels truly have wings, so we have to leave that tidbit alone. All in all, it's certainly a possible scenario and we should make note of it. If he is an angel, I don't think he's a danger."
"Either do I, but we're not positive. We should continue."
They read through more names, skipping ones they were positive weren't it. This was going a lot faster than they thought it would because there were so many automatic negatives. They continued. They stopped for a quick lunch after they got through half the book, Harry covered with his cloak. They went through the last half of the book and got done with it about 6. At the end, the finalists were angel, fae, and vampire. According to the book a fae is an otherworldly creature with ethereal beauty. They can see the future and control elements. There wasn't much information on a fae. A vampire is by far the most dangerous finalist they had. A vampire is known for sensual seduction. If a vampire sets his sights on you, you can't refuse him/her and will do anything he/she asks. Vampires do have fangs, but they only extend when they are in desperate need for nourishment. Contrary to popular belief, vampires can go out in the sunlight. They are just weaker and usually wear sunglasses as the sun tends to hurt their eyes. They are also known for amazing sexual prowess in bed. Harry blushed after reading that bit.
"Well Harry, what do you think?" Viktor questioned. He had his own suspicions, but unless Harry came to the conclusion on his own, he'd be defensive about it and wouldn't listen to reason.
Harry kept glancing at the description of vampire. He never had seen Lucas during the day, but Manhattan was a big city. It could be easy to not see a particular person. Lucas couldn't be a vampire. If he was, Harry would have been killed already. There have been more than enough opportunities. Harry refused to think of Lucas as a dangerous creature. "I think he's an Angel."
Viktor sighed; truly not surprised that Harry had said that. He had a soft spot for the man and was denying the worst, even though it was the most likely. Viktor got Harry safely back home and when the man tried to go in, Harry stopped him. Viktor thought that Harry was mad, but the deep kiss corrected his assumption. He growled when Harry pulled away, wanting and needing more. Harry laughed, lightly nibbling on the older man's jaw. "I have work tomorrow and want to prepare a new dessert that Cory wants to try out tomorrow for a test run."
Viktor was suspicious. He knew Harry well enough to know that he should be, but he didn't feel like getting into a fight like he knew he would, if he accused Harry of lying. "Okay, I should check in with my team anyways. We have practice all day tomorrow, but I can come over tomorrow night when you're done with work."
"I would love to see you tomorrow, but I have to decline. I skipped out on spending time with my godfathers today; it's something we do every Sunday. I'm going tomorrow right after work."
Viktor's brow furrowed. "How about Tuesday then?"
"Viktor, I don't know."
The Bulgarian's doubts were back. "Are you trying to get rid of me? Just tell me the truth now."
"No! I truly want to see where this might go, but I need a couple of days. Come Wednesday after you're done with practice. I promise, I won't back out of it or make excuses to cancel."
Viktor swooped down and took Harry's mouth in an aggressive kiss, showing Harry that he was his. He cupped Harry through his trousers, making the younger man wiggle, his trousers getting uncomfortably tight. "You sure I can't come in just for a little bit."
"I totally want to say yes, but it's still no. Viktor, I really like you. I didn't think I'd come to like you like this even when I noticed your good looks at the bakery. I don't want to ruin what may be a good relationship. I need some space tonight to do my own thing though." When Viktor gave a disappointed look, Harry rolled his eyes. "Don't give me that Viktor. I promise I'll make it up to you Wednesday night…and it will be worth the wait." With a nip, Harry pried himself away from Viktor's arms.
"You better," Viktor replied in his deep voice that was becoming Harry's favorite thing about Viktor. After a few more moments of conversation and a couple of more kisses, Viktor walked away. Harry turned towards his door, unlocked it, and opened it. He gazed in the direction Viktor had left. When he was sure Viktor was a good distance away, he closed his door and locked it back up. He knew Viktor wouldn't approve, but he had to do what he had to do.
He was on the way to the only place Harry knew he could find Lucas. He was going to the club.
Author Notes: The slash poll is over and the winner is Fenir. I actually have an idea for a story. Hopefully I will be able to get it done for Kamerreon's birthday. The het poll is up. I really am trying to broaden what I write. I don't really have a favorite het pairing so I don't know what I want to write for the big bang. Please vote even if you won't read a het story. One of the choices is Cedric/Cho/Harry. You should know that there wouldn't be any Cedric/Harry interaction, only Cedric/Cho and Harry/Cho.
