So, I'm back! And school is out! I hope that to anyone who still is in, that they'll be out soon. I hate school.

Sorry, that was totally off topic. Review, please.

Love, Keta.

Chapter 13: White Lilies on the Marsh

Draco's POV

I walk outside, feeling horrible for neglecting my cousin these past few days and see him sitting out by the Black Lake with Luna. He holds out a slim perfect hand as a ball of something forms. 'What is it? It looks like ice.' Harry turns to look at me, green eyes glowing wildly. He jerks his head sideways to invite me over by them.

I sit down next to him and look curiously at the ball of ice in his hand. "What are you doing?" I ask.

He gives me a smirk, much like his fathers and says, "I'm practicing."

"Practicing for what?"

"Vormund. He wants me to be able to withstand the cold of his homeland."

"What?" Luna exclaims, "he's taking you somewhere! Vormund, you better tell me where!"

Harry snickers. "Yes, Luna. He's taking me to Russia this summer. I already told Mum, Rudolphus and Tom."

"Who's Vormund?" I ask, confused.

"My guardian angel." Harry looks out over the water, dropping the ice ball into the water. "Or rather my guardian wendigo. Mum put him inside of me when I was younger to protect me."

"Has he tried to hurt you?" I ask urgently. Harry gives me an evil glare as if to say, 'I can't believe you would think that, Draco.' I shy away from that look, feeling awful. "I'll take that as a no."

"You better." Luna turns her head to hide her snicker, but it isn't hidden very well.

"Be nice, Luna," Harry says softly, but it doesn't sound like him.

"Why, Vormund?" she asks, raising a slim blond eyebrow. "Do you have a crush on, Draco?"

His eyes widen and he looks at her like 'what the fuck?' "Um, no." He looks over at me, eyes turning a shade of purple, like lavender. "Hello, Draco. I hope you do not mind me taking your cousin to Russia for a bit."

"I guess not. So, Vormund, right?"

"Yes. I am Vormund, Harry's wendigo."

"Okay… why does he have to practice ice based magic?"

"Because," he says, running a hand through Harry's thick mane, "I want him to be able to withstand my power as well as the cold. I am an ice based dark creature. My power, if he didn't already have an affinity to it, would have frozen him a long time ago. But, I cannot use my power in his body because…"

"Because what?"

"He'd freeze to death." He turns to the darkening sky. "I don't want that to happen. He means too much to me."

"How so?"

"He's my master, my reason for living." He stands up suddenly. "I'm sorry but I have an appointment with the centaurs that I cannot blow off. I'll see you later, Luna." He bows to her and gives her hand a quick kiss. "Goodbye, Draco."

"Bye, Vormund!" Luna waves after him as he walks towards the forbidden forest. "I wish it would snow," she whispers suddenly.

And as Vormund walks into the forest, the first snow of December falls, looking like white lilies in the sky.

Yes, Harry is going to meet Viktor in Russia, because he'll be there with his parents for the two weeks Harry and Vormund are there. I know, amazing councidence.

Oh, well. See ya!
