(I want to thank everyone who has commented on my story. It make's me smile to see them, so this chapters for everyone still reading. Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters places or creatures. The only thing that is mine is the story plot. Oh and just to say to some people. I'm sorry that I didn't you know kill Ginny and Ron like maybe a lot of you were thinking, but I really don't want to have Draco in jail. Him being satisfied with the smaller punishment was supposed to show his change and that he's not the heartless Slytherin he once was."

The Portkey set everyone off balance. When they finally fell through Blaise collapsed un steadily on top of his luggage. Next came Draco who fell feet first onto his Italian friends back. When Hadrian came through the portal he drifted slightly suddenly seeming feather light, and gently fell to the ground. It was unsteady , but big strong hands grabbed him under the elbow keeping him up right.

"Careful Lille, you don't want to hurt your self." A deep voice said to the child. Hadrian looked to see a little a tall man built well with blond everything. A gold blond not like the white blonde of his Draco. He had striking blue eyes and an accent that he could only assume was Norwegian.

"Hello. My name's Hadrian."

"And mine is Draco." The man said standing rightly again helping Blaise to his feet.

"Zacharias! It is so good to see you alive. I never know when one of those dragon's are going to fry you alive." Blaise said in mock worry. The kind of tone that you'd use with a best friend. They had been friends since they were both toddlers. Zacharias smiled brightly clapping his friend on the shoulder and Hadrian smiled. He liked this new man, he seemed very kind despite his size.

"So I see you brought me Lille to feed to the dragons." Zacharias teased ruffling Hadrian's already unruly hair. Draco chuckled while Hadrian just nodded eagerly. He knew that he didn't really mean feeding him to the dragons. The child was just so excited he didn't even care that the man gave him a nickname.

"Lille? What does that mean?" Draco asked.

"Little one." Zacharias answered taking Hadrian's bag for him. " Come let me show you to your rooms. I have spares in my housing quarters."

Hadrian like the nickname, it was friendly and he didn't mind it at all. He knew Zacharias meant to disrespect. They walked following the big man closely. They had arrived in what seemed to be the middle of a court yard. Surrounding them was what looked like a big dinning hall and the a library and clinic plus other housings . This was obviously the living part of the Dragon sanctuary.

"When do I get to see the dragons?" Hadrian asked excitedly tugging on Zacharias' free hand. The man smiled a secretive smile that promised a surprise.

"You'll have a greater surprise than just Dragons." Hadrian could only smile. That sounded amazing.

Zacharias' living quarters was a very nice house that had four bedrooms three baths a back yard garden and a pond with little nymphs swimming through it. Cute little nymphs with blue hair had webbed hands and feet. They were also blue in color about the size of little fish.

Draco talked to the man so of course Hadrian would be sharing a room with Draco, while Blaise had a room to himself. They were nice guest rooms made up with a nice queen size bed with plum purple sheets and comforter. In about and hour after they cleaned up and put their belongs away they were supposed to meet Zacharias at the court yard and then he'd take them for the surprise. Hadrian was practically bouncing in excitement, but even that excitement couldn't stifle his yawn.

"Take a nap Hadri, I can unpack. I'll wake you up just in time to meet Zacharias." Hadrian nodded sitting on the bed, he had been pretty tired since the memory attack that morning, so he laid down watching Draco move things around put stuff up. Just watching until his eyes felt to heavy to hold open, and quietly he drifted off to sleep.

Draco stopped for a moment to see Hadrian had dozed off with his glasses on. With a smile he stepped quietly to the boy removing his shoes and glasses and gently tucking him under the covers. Hadrian's lips pulled into a ghost of a smile while he was sleeping, it was angelic, beautiful, and Draco wished it would never go away.

Blaise met Draco in the kitchen while making some tea.

"Would you like a cup Draco? I also put that concealer on Hadrian a couple of minutes ago while you were in the bathroom." The Italian said pouring the teapot over the cups with the tea bags hanging off the rim. It smelled good, with a little sugar it would be appealing to Draco's tastes.

"Sure bring me some sugar too alright?" He asked taking a seat at the little kitchen island that had some high stools around it. It was a nice quaint house. Not giant like Draco's, but not small. Clean as well.

"Hadrian had that memory attack this morning and he grew about three years worth. I don't see a pattern to how much he remembers and when. It worries me Blaise. Especially because I know one of the things he's going to remember next. Something that might effect us greatly."

Blaise looked at Draco strangely bringing over the tea and sugar. He set the cup down gently in front of his friend and let him spoon some sugar in.

"What could he remember that would be worse than he already has?"

"When Harry was ten years old when he was beaten for days because his uncle found out he liked another little boy, and during that he was abuse mentally too. For days he was beaten and called a fag, and any other thing you could possibly imagine." Draco sipped his tea not really having the stomach for it anymore.

"They always thought they could stomp the magic out of him. Why not the homosexuality? Beating a child that young, making him fear being who he is, that's monster our, but where they didn't succeed in stomping the magic out, but they did stop him from loving who he wants. When he remembers that he might not be able to take being my Mate."

"Hey, Hadrian's had five years of normalcy and love, he's had nothing but good memories of you. There's no doubt in my mind that when he remembers that he'll be distraught, but I know that Hadrian can feel that bond between you. I know that he'll put the past away, and he wont stop feeling your bond."

Blaise placed his hand reassuringly on Draco's shoulder. He wanted to say something to help comfort him. In his mind he could see that Hadrian would remember these things, and he would cope this time, he wouldn't run away. How to put those things into words that would comfort Draco just didn't occur to Blaise.

" I'm worried Blaise for all the things he'll remember about me, before he reaches after the war. I've done so many bad things, I was horrible to him, and his friends. What is he going to think of me when he remembers every word, and every spell I cast against them?" Draco was glaring at his cup seeing his reflection in the liquid. He saw the hateful little boy that took out all his pain on others and slapped the cup away from his self. Blaise flinched away from the blonde.

"I don't know why this thought suddenly came to me. Why this suddenly occurred to me. I can help him heal, but only for so long. He's going to see me as I was and he's going to remember. There's no way he can love me." Draco almost sobbed. There was a creak in the wooden floor that made them whip around to see Hadrian standing unsteadily in the door way. He looked like he was in a trance of some sort. He was shaky teetering on his feet.

"I heard the crash Draco, and I heard you talking. This is a good thing you're doing for me. Helping me, treating me this way. I know you love me Draco, from that day in the Leaky Cauldron when I was thinking of walking into a den of death eaters that hadn't been captured. I was going to walk in there wand-less. Then you walked up to me, you looked me in the eyes and I saw a hurt little boy." Hadrian said he still had his sweet little Scottish accent, but he wasn't talking like a child. Draco and Blaise stood from their seats and slowly approached the teetering child who now was using a small had to hold himself up.

"You sat there your eyes begging for me to listen, and I did. That's when you said it all, your apology, it was so heart felt… I knew I could forgive you, I knew that moment that I had already forgiven you long ago."

"Harry?" Draco whispered and the boy held up a hand.

"The magic that sealed my memories up has cracks, waiting for me to heal enough that I wont self destruct us both. I am awake in here Draco, I'm awake, I'll always have these memories of being Hadrian, and I'll always have my painful memories. Yet I can heal this time, you should heal too. Forgive yourself, I don't think anyone's holding anything against you. I… sure." The boys eyes suddenly fluttered, and fluttered open weakly.

"I can speak from the cracks sometimes, but I'm not strong enough to go back, not yet…not yet." and the Hadrian collapsed Draco just barely able to catch the boy before he hit the ground. Hadrian never woke up didn't stir.

"That was the weirdest thing ever. This whole thing is the weirdest situation I've every been in." Blaise said running a hand through his hair. Sitting back in his chair using a wand-less spell to clean up the tea mess Draco made.

"I'm going to put him back to bed. Apparently I think to much, about foolish nonsensical things. Looks to me that I should really just let things play out." Draco said with a smile taking the child back to their room.

As he laid the child down he laid with him. Hadrian curling in on him. There really was no reason for his freak out earlier was there? It didn't matter about any of their pasts. It mattered about futures, what they could do in the now. The there and then when they were together. With each other. With out even realizing it Draco fell asleep with Hadrian.

"Hey you guys wake up!" Blaise said jumping on the be jostling Hadrian and Draco awake. Hadrian nearly screamed his head of with surprised fright. Draco just laughed his head off. Blaise just jumped like an over sized kid.

"We're up!" Draco hollered bashing Blaise with a pillow knocking him over. Hadrian giggled wildly throwing more pillows at the downed Italian who laughed in return, and then Hadrian froze.

"Dragons! We have to go met Zacharias." He said bouncing off the bed to find his shoes and sweater. The pair followed suit not wanting to make Hadrian late. The boy was too excited to make late.

They left with a smile to walk towards the court yard.

Zacharias was waiting for them leaning against a pillar. He pushed up as they got closer walking to close the distance.

"What's the surprise?" Hadrian asked beaming at the Dragon keeper.

"Yesterday we found an abandoned nest of Swedish Short-snouts. They hatched last night, and don't have anyone to take care of them. They cant bite, cant breath fire, their harmless as little kittens, and you Lille get to feed the things." You could practically see the glee radiating off of him. He gave a little jump of glee and practically squealed.

"Baby dragons baby dragons! Oh lets go." Everyone smiled at the Hadrian's excitement. It was infectious his smile. His good mood spread and everyone felt it. Draco in particular because of their strong bond, and actually he really like dragons even if they could be dangerous.

"Alright lets get to those babies." Blaise said and Zacharias led the way out of the living area that went to a smaller building that had what looked like a stable connected to it. It was mostly wooden but when Hadrian stepped inside he could see the walls lined with metal. Blaise and Draco knew it was enchanted metal that stopped dragon's fire of the strongest kind. Obviously this was the nursery of sorts. Like a care center for baby dragons and toddlers who needed medical attention.

In the middle of the room sat a pin the was made of metal and lined with padding. And inside on the ground were four little Short- snout's. Their scales were silvery blue and not really fully grown in. Their were spots that didn't have scales and were just tuff leathery hide like on their underbellies. They had shot little snouts and only hind legs and wings which probably why they were clumsily playing with metal balls that they couldn't pierce when they grew teeth.

Hadrian rushed over to the pin to see them, and Zacharias came and swooped him up placing him in the middle of the pin. It was quite large. Large enough for Hadrian to sit at one end and the Dragons to flee falling over on themselves to the other side about three feet away.

"Talk to them calmly, reassure them, make yourself as non threatening as you can Lille." Zacharias said calmly besides the boy outside the pin. Draco and Blaise came in and kneeled down besides Zacharias and nearly jumped out of their skins when Harry began to hiss out in Parsel tongue.

"Hadrian they aren't snakes they wont understand you." Draco said while trying to gauge Zacharias' expression. Parsel tongue was usually associated with dark wizards because of Voldemort. Zacharias didn't say anything. He didn't even look surprised.

"Yes it will." Hadrian insisted speaking again, but this time it sounded … different. There was different sounds. Like if someone was speaking a foreign language, but with a different dialect. Maybe even altered meanings of words. Draco's eyes widened as he saw the dragons respond and teeter over to him. Keeing and making noises like they were talking back. Blaise gasped surprised.

"It is not a surprise that a Parsel mouth could alter his speech and dialect to that of another species. Snakes are like dragons. Usually Parsel mouths do not develop so young and they don't even go near dragons. A strong enough Parsel mouth could definitely become in tune to dragons." Zacharias said ruffling Hadrian's hair. He hissed and kee'd at them and one nuzzled into Hadrian's knee.

"Nalwy, Bohrn, Azgen, Cahlen." Hadrian said pointing to each little Dragon. "They have names, they say that Temperance, Brian, Xanthus and Lavender is not their names." And then he tickled the one with a bright blue abnormal scale patch under the chin. The one he called Azgen. Zacharias laughed and went to prepare a mixture for the babies to drink.

"How can they talk? They were just born?" Blaise asked Zacharias but Draco answered.

"I have heard that Dragons are very intelligent. Their race ancient older than any other, that their souls actually reincarnate into new bodies. I think it is very possible that the dragons keep their intelligence through every cycle. These ones could very well have their names they've had for every life they ever lived."

"That is what I believe to. I always feel these dragons are always exhibiting intelligence beyond what they would if they mentally developed the same pace as their bodies."

Hadrian kept chattering with the dragons, and they seemed very attached, but when Blaise tried to pet one it tried to bite him even though it hadn't grown teeth. It was the one that Hadrian claimed as Nalwy. She had nice purple eyes, slit pupils of gold.

"Be careful dragons are dangerous when they get older, I think you have to be a special type of person like Hadrian, and then you'll have them eating out of your palm." Zacharias said giving Hadrian a metal bottle that the babies all jumped at, Cahlen the smallest fell over on to his face. Strangely it reminded him of Blaise. All of the dragons even though they were all hungry seemed to let Cahlen eat first. Bohrn who had a strange birthmark like scar on the bridge of his snout even looked at the wizards growling. Warning them to let Cahlen eat.

"Cahlen is the baby, and the others protect her. Azgen is oldest, then Bohrn who's the fighter, and Nalwy she's the most talkative." Hadrian explained to them. Draco just laughed seeing a future as a Dragon keeper for Harry. This was definitely something he was enjoying. Hell no one had every been able to tame a Dragon, but being able to communicate with them might be a big step. Harry could be the first dragon tamer, or befriended, because really it wouldn't be in Harry to break a dragon into obedience.

The room was filled with happy talk and smiling people. Draco had no doubt that this day would be one of Harry's best memories when he had them all back. Hadrian was practically glowing when they pulled him out of the pin when every baby dragon went to sleep. They had been there a while it was practically five pm.

Hadrian was stretching he had been mostly sitting and crouching. The dragons had tag teamed him in a wrestling match, and He admitted that he was feeling sore, and that the dragons totally won.

"I have never seen anyone interact with dragon's like you do. Would you perhaps like to see on of the adult dragons before we head for dinner?" Zacharias asked Hadrian, the man seemed to adore Hadrian. Everyone so far who had met him adored Hadrian. He just had that kind of charisma that drew people in.

"Well lets see, Hadrian's had the best day with baby dragons, what do you say Hadrian want to see an adult?" Draco asked, but Blaise yawned loudly right before Hadrian could say anything.

"I think I'm going to nap before supper. Some of us couldn't get all cuddly and nap today."

"Okay see you at dinner Blaise." Draco said while the others gave smiles and waves. Happily yawning Blaise walked off back towards the house. Hadrian didn't really think a nap at this hour was particularly smart. The man would be up all night, but Hadrian let it go seeing that Blaise was clearly exhausted.

"Can we see the dragon now?" The child asked Emerald orbs staring back and forth between two pairs of blue. One a slate bluish grey, and the other deep blue.

"I was thinking that an Antipodean Opal eye would be a good choice for your first adult dragon. They are beautiful creatures, and are very gentle. They don't attack unless provoked and even though they don't really approach people to play, I bet you could talk one into seeing you." Zacharias said with a smile. Hadrian cheered..

"Come on then we have Dragon's too see." Draco took Hadrian's hand and let Zacharias lead them to a shed with broom sticks.

"The Antipodean Opal eye's sanctuary is out about a mile we have to take the broom sticks out, you can use this one it's sturdy enough to take a child." Hadrian's eyes widened when he saw the broom stick in front of him. It was like he recognized it, and he probably did. Harry had said there were cracks in the wall that shielded him in. Perhaps a small memory or loving to ride seeped through and Hadrian was feeling it.

"No. I want my own broom stick, I know how to ride." Hadrian said reaching out for his own. Zacharias looked to Draco for reassurance that he was allowed to give Hadrian his own broom to ride. He nodded and let Zacharias give Hadrian a smaller easier to handle broom.

"I'll pretend like your giving me this broom because of my height and not because your treating me like a child." Hadrian said before mounting the broom and lifting up expertly.

Zacharias looked properly surprise at Hadrian's slip in character, but Draco knew what would happen, and hurriedly he rushed forward catching Hadrian right when he passed out falling of the broom stick that fell to the ground once de mounted.

"Is he alright?" Zacharias exclaimed rushing forward to get a better look at the boy.

"He's fine he just has a condition right now, when he wakes up he'll feel better. I think we should hold the other dragons off for the morning."

"Yes, yes of course Draco I think that's best too." Zacharias agreed worried helping Draco stand while cradling the boy.

"lets take Lille back to the house, some tea is in order." The man said helping Draco back to the house, Hadrian woke about half way through though. He looked surprised, and then he realized what happened. He settled back into the warmth of Draco's chest, and the steady beating of his heart.

"I'm sorry about that Zacharias that must have been frightening." Hadrian said half hiding his face from the other man. Zacharias reached over and ruffled Hadrian's hair.

"Don't worry Lille I am fine as long as you are." Then he smiled and Draco could feel Hadrian's mood lightening, not feeling so embarrassed. He didn't asked to be put down, the closer to Draco the better he felt, and honestly Draco didn't want to let him down. He wanted to hold on and feel the warmth of his small body reassuring him that Hadrian was still okay.

"So what time does the dinning hall open?" Draco asked feeling hungry. Hadrian looked at Zacharias wanted to know as well. If they weren't going to go see the Dragons then they should definitely eat.

"They are opened now if you'd like to go."

"Lets go pick up Blaise, we can all eat together." Hadrian said, and they continued on to get Blaise. He was like Hadrian's family now. Like Draco's as well. Hadrian looked to Zacharias knowing that he was Blaise's family, and very well on his way to being on Hadrian's family too. The best kind of family, one filled with trust and love and acceptance.
