Chapter VIII: The First Bond, The Bond of Flesh
Harry walked silently alongside of Draco as they neared the seventh floor and the room of requirement. Harry's silence made Draco nervous somewhat though he suspected it was for a good reasoning. Harry's new abilities allowed him to be able to sense things others normally never would have felt, and so he had all the more reason to be suspicious or silent if he felt something out of place.
"Draco." Harry said quietly so he did not gain the attention of Mrs. Norris
"Yes, Harry?" Draco said in the same tone
"Would your mother mind it if we both finished our education after the war was over with if it was necessary?" He asked
Underneath the invisibility cloak, Draco's body was shocked at such a question but he remained calm.
"No, I don't suppose so. Why?" He asked
Harry sighed, "I have to convince the headmaster tomorrow to send everyone home earlier. The raid is an attack on the castle as I feared. Tom is infuriated by me inheriting what he believes is his by birthright."
Draco shook under the cloak, "Then why don't you go to see him now if it is this important?"
Harry smiled briefly and Draco noticed from under the thin material of cloth.
"Because, dragon, I intend to keep my promise to you and I will take care of you. I can and will protect you no matter what. But this requires the first of our three bonds to be finished." He said
Draco shakily drew breath as he kept moving, "Harry, the headmaster is sure to find out then about us no matter how hard we've tried to hide it now."
"I know, and this is why we won't be coming back after the holidays with the rest of our classmates. War is coming to us first and we need to be ready, dragon."
"I understand." Draco said firmly
The walk to the room of requirement was quiet the rest of the way although a semblance of tranquility passed over the two who would get there. Draco had all but removed the cloak now as the both walked further on in knowing they were beyond Filch and Mrs. Norris's reach.
Harry told Draco that Filch generally started patrol on the upper levels of the castle and Mrs. Norris was not far ahead of him. If they made it passed the cat without her notice, they were safe and he could remove the cloak.
Draco's platinum hair, pale skin that was as white as the finest snow, and grey eyes that glimmered with the moon's radiance made him seem like a fallen angel to Harry's eyes. It was almost too much to believe at times they were chosen for the other. Harry felt grateful to be given this chance and he was not about to let go of it either.
Meanwhile Draco thought of Harry in a very similar manner. His hair that was as dark as a moonless night with no stars glimmered brilliantly underneath the moon itself and shined with a blue tone of light that seemed otherworldly as his semi-pale skin made him seem much like an angel who had fallen out of the heavens from grace to the mortal world. His calm demeanor and peaceful nature for now seemed to draw in his eyes and made Draco want to drown in them forever. The eyes of emeralds worth more than the price of gold itself showed his fear to him at what was to come with the war ahead as his gaze levelled to his own.
They reached their destination soon enough, and Harry paced the in front of the doors before he stopped and opened them. He held out his hand to Draco with a smile that showed his trust in him and his love to him. Draco knew from this motion and this moment on their lives would be changing. How? He didn't know exactly, but he was sure that it was going to.
Draco took the hand that offered him security and comfort. He took the hand that offered him love and companionship. He took the hand he knew would protect him even if cost Harry his life to do so. He took the hand that he had wanted Harry to take five years ago, but had refused because he knew Draco was not yet ready for him to be in his life yet.
As they entered the room, Draco gasped at what he saw there. The room Harry had imagined for them tonight was beyond even that of the luxury afforded to Malfoy Manor in some ways. It was breathtaking.
Harry smiled softly, "I see you like the room, then. Good, because this room is similar to that of the master bedroom at Peverell Manor. Which, in time, will be our home together I hope." Harry said to him gently
Draco was at a loss for words to this and he didn't know how to respond, so he remained silent.
That was until Harry's arms circled his waist and drew his body into his and then his mouth captured his lips in a soft kiss. Draco responded eagerly to that as a moan sounded from his mouth too. Harry's hands wandered Draco's torso and heat was quickly flushing their bodies as Draco's shirt became unbuttoned and his tie undone before they fell away to the floor completely.
Draco could feel the bare skin of Harry's chest as well and knew his mate had no shirt on himself either. He wanted so badly to touch his skin with his hand, but refrained as it was Harry who decided when he could do that.
"I see you learned something from this morning, dragon." Harry whispered silkily into his ear, "You wanted to feel me, but you refrained because you know I'll let you touch all you want when I have pleased you, don't you." He said huskily
Draco's eyes rolled into the back of his head as he moaned loudly to Harry's sensual words and then his eyes popped wide open with a moan of want as Harry's hands slid beneath his trousers and one hand had cupped his scrotum and rubbed a finger over it pleasingly as the other rubbed his erection up and down in a very nice way that sent sparks all throughout his body.
"Damn it Harry, quit teasing me already, and fuck me right now. I can't take it anymore." Draco yelled at him
Harry just smirked at him from behind, "Really dragon, there's no need to curse at me, is there?"
Harry then yanked on Draco's cock with a hard pull and the blonde screamed in pleasure to it as he panted from exertion already. The cock ring remaining on him and growing tighter each second he spent like that with his mate. Harry then let go and Draco whined in protest, but before he could finish Harry had Draco on a bed that felt like he was lying on clouds.
Draco also was now aware he was naked as the day he'd be been born and was on his hands and knees. He looked up, only to have his eyes widen at what he saw awaiting him.
Harry was standing there before him in his elven appearance and just as naked as he was. His skin was pale, but not as much as Draco's own. However, it still gleamed and made him even more beautiful to Draco than he already was. His emerald eyes seemed to express his emotions to him completely and Draco knew in this moment he had loved Harry from the beginning. Now however, they were free to acknowledge the love as soul-mates, there was no other for them and that they would not look back and think twice on this decision.
Draco's eyes then could help but look at his body and flushed deeply when he saw the erection Harry had. It was long and thick, and it dripped its precious fluid for him as Harry stood there with control. It jutted outward and was making Draco want to taste his mate so bad.
Harry smiled then as he noticed Draco bowed his head to him and walked over to the front of the bed.
"Draco, look at me." Harry said softly
Slowly Draco raised his gaze to Harry and the dark-haired teen smiled.
"I may be alpha and the dominant one, but remember that we are still equal in terms of age if one being older by mere months. You are not to be submissive in the way that you must do as I say all the time. I would not like to take the fire you have out of you."
Draco then nodded and smiled as Harry returned the same smile he had worn earlier in the peaceful hallway to him.
"Now, would you prefer to be on your back for this; or do you prefer to be as you are now with yourself on your hands and knees?" Harry smirked at him
Draco's body flushed pink all over, "I think I prefer to do this as I am now." He leered at Harry who was making him wait
Harry smirked again, "Alright, but first you need to drink this." Harry said
Draco looked up as he resumed a sitting position.
"A Contraceptive Potion? Why?" He asked
"We are both from powerful and old lineages, and between us both our powers are quite strong. Together though, they are quite formidable and a natural pregnancy is possible as you know." Harry said
"While I don't mind if you were to bear my children Draco, this war is not over and it is simply not the right time for us to have children. Tom or the headmaster would use these children as bargaining chips against us if they knew of them and managed to get to them. Surely you know this?" He asked
The blonde seemed emotional for the moment, "You really want me for your mate then and you don't mind if I am the one to bear your children, do you?" Draco asked with a smile that could have lit the darkest pit of hell with light.
Harry smiled the same way back, "Draco, I have realized that we were destined to be together even if they way we were before was rough. I have come to care for you more than I can say even though our bond is so new to us both and when the time is right, you will be able to have children with me as my mate if you still desire to do so."
Draco nodded as he drank the potion down and resumed his former position. Harry ran his fingers down his spine and caused Draco to tremble with desire.
"Draco, you have no idea how much seeing you like this turns me on." Harry whispered into his ear as he bent over his mate and began littering kisses on the soft skin.
Draco was moaning softly as his arms were furiously trying to keep himself upright. He felt Harry's mouth near his ass and moaned louder as his mate used his tongue to spread his cheeks wider and lube him with his own saliva. His pre-cum was now coming out in larger spurts as the essence of their mating began to fill the room and their magical energies leaked from their bodies in acceptance of the bond and knowing by instinct what was to occur now. Draco also understood why Harry had also put the cock ring on him earlier today as well.
Even though he hadn't broken Harry's wishes and satisfied himself, Harry likely surmised that Draco would not last too long during their mating and so he placed the ring on him to keep him from climaxing too early into the rite as much as he had placed it there to ensure Draco knew he was not allowed to touch himself no matter how uncomfortable he got today.
But one touch from Harry's hand to his engorged cock had his pre-cum streaming out of him as he screamed at him to fuck him now.
"Easy dragon, since there's no need to be so impatient. We have plenty of time before dawn to play like this and even more time once we get to your home later on tomorrow." Harry said softly with a sensual lilting tone
"Harry, it's not that I am impatient per se, but more the fact that this teasing you are doing to my body is making me want to force my ass onto that gorgeous leaking cock of yours right now and I am having a hard time repressing the urge to do so." Draco said in want and lust to Harry's ears
Harry then moaned loudly as his eyes closed and he started to envision that little scene with want and desire for another time in the near future. He then rubbed Draco's cock as the blonde moaned loudly and panted heavily to the touch. His body shook itself as Harry noticed Draco was trying to get his cock to rub more to obtain more friction, and so Harry let him rub more as he panted heavily and a generous amount of his pre-cum fell into his other hand beneath his mate's strained erection before he then used it to cover his own arousal thoroughly.
Draco then felt Harry push against him with his cock as his hand then yanked at Draco again and the blonde's eyes widened at the thickness of it as he tried not to scream in absolute pleasure from the tug to his cock while wanting that thick erection to be shoved up his ass right then.
"Dragon, how do you feel knowing your essence and scent is covering my cock that is about to claim you? How do feel knowing that your delicious pre-cum is the only one that has ever touched this part of me and that it will be the only one to ever do so." Harry asked him huskily
Draco's eyes widened and he moaned loudly, "I love it. Claim me Harry, just claim me already. Fuck me until the mattress on this bed gives out. Fuck me until you know I'm yours eternally." Draco panted at him as his cock jerked with need and anticipation
Harry's last resolve broke and he none to gently pushed into Draco and his cock sheathed itself into intense heat. Draco, however, didn't care that he was in pain because this pain allowed his mate to have him forever.
Harry waited momentarily from Draco to adjust, but Draco had other ideas.
"Harry, I am not a piece of glass. I know of the dark elven urges and you are restraining yourself for my sake. Just fuck me already like you want to because I want it too and just as badly." Draco told him with ragged breath
Harry's eyes became darker to those words and acknowledged them as he began thrusting in and out of Draco rapidly and to his surprise; Draco met each one with equal momentum. Sometime during the motions Harry had removed the cock ring from Draco and had started to pump his cock with his free hand. Hogwarts Castle's sentient spirit was trying her best to restrain Harry and Draco's energy from the headmaster's notice by keeping it inside the room, but it was easier said than done as they were both so powerful on their own.
The room was now shaking and it appeared as though the floor would crack like if it were under an earthquake, but that the rest of the castle was not affected by it and there was a faint golden light coming from the two as the bond was being cemented between them.
"I know this may be sudden Draco, but I love you as my mate and I believe that deep down I always loved you. So, from now on as your mate I promise to cherish, love, and protect you with all my ability." Harry told him in a pant
Draco was panting equally hard, "I have always respected and admired you Harry ever since that day nearly five years ago in the robe shop where we initially first met. When you told me the truth of my father's death, I noticed how mature you had become and admitted to myself that you were attractive."
"Until we discovered that we were soul-mates did I truly see all the lies I have been fed, and came to recognize that despite bitterness towards you that deep down I loved you too. I promise you as your mate to stay by your side and to cherish you as you cherish me. I will love you with all my soul as you made it possible for me to do so by giving the chance to be your mate without hesitation. I promise to protect you when I can if you need it, and that if we ever have a family together, that our children will not have to suffer the same pains as we did as children while they grow up." Draco told him sincerely
Harry then gave one final thrust as he acknowledged the words and golden sparks of energy came from them and Harry's seed entered Draco's body with a yell of his name in climax and his hand squeezed Draco's cock. The pressure drew Draco into climax as he too spent his seed onto the sheets below him and yelled Harry's name in return. When both reached the end of their climax, they dropped onto the bed beside the other and feeling the connection between them settle.
It was a warm feeling underneath their skin that they both had never known and it was also a welcome protection for them in these times ahead that was sure to be horrific with Tom and his war.
Draco fell asleep first, utterly exhausted from their mating, as he whispered 'I love you' before he zoned out. Harry laid there momentarily with a peaceful mindset as he felt his mate rest his head over his heart. Soon, he too fell asleep with a smile and tried not to think of tomorrow's chaos.
Hogwarts's sentient spirit smiled upon the two mates now sleeping soundly. She wished them a long a prosperous life together, and hoped they managed not to live the same fates as two others did centuries before them. The road will hard for them now and they needed to be strong.
