Chapter 04

After spending such a long time in a wild and dangerous place, little Harry knew of the importance of being aware of your surroundings, even during sleep. And even in such a high class household he couldn't quench his reaction to unexpected noises. It took him several nights to accept that houselfs meant no harm for him, while sleeping intertwined with Draco was no problem for him. After all sharing warmth was a sensible notion he and his uncles had put into practice when the temperatures had dropped in their cave.

 

To Draco's uttermost delight Harry was by no means shy when it came to physical contact, clothed or naked. Yet he remained sensitive to the more sensual touches bestowed upon him. His innocence was refreshing and at the same time intoxicating. He was quickly accepting Draco's role in his life, letting himself be pampered and spoiled. Draco made sure not to exaggerate, but even the smallest things could excite the boy, making him smile so beautifully that Draco felt his heart warming more and more to the kid.

 

His father and godfather weren't gifted with such docile pets. Especially the black haired one was a little firecracker. Always keeping the two on their toes, always into some mischief or another. While he might have acknowledged the fact that with their collar in place there was no possibility for them to run away, and unable to remove those themselves, he didn't intend to make it easy for any of them. But judging by the look in his father's eyes, Draco was pretty sure that his old man was totally ensnared with his wilful slave. He obviously enjoyed his temperament and he enjoyed seducing him even more.

 

His godfather on the other hand was quiet taken with their quiet and friendly little werewolf. Those wonderfully soft brown eyes held so much kindness in them, Severus just wanted to cherish the man, in his own snarky way. But both of the pets denied their captors their true names. You could see in both of them the breeding and manners of educated wizards. No way their names were Padfood and Moony. Padfood certainly looked like an aristocrat, a little on the malnourished side, but all of them were. At least Harry had timidly admitted his name, but not his last name. But still.

 

After a long and tender cuddling session, Draco fell asleep with Harry in his arms. The young one's head safely tucked under his chin. They had yet to progress any further as soft touches, and Draco knew it wasn't his place to breach the young ones virginity. But Harry would not be afraid of physical intimacy, that he made sure of.

 

While Draco was peacefully asleep, Harry was startled awake, several hours later. Extracting himself from his companions slender arms, he sat on his haunches on the bed, head cocked to the side rather cutely, trying to discern what woke him. His natural curiosity kicked in, a trait that often got him into trouble, and a sure sign that he felt safe in his new environment.

 

Taking one last look at Draco's slumbering form, he gave into his urges and soon bare feet padded silently on the cold marble of the manor. Ignoring the cold, the pyjama clad youth peered down the stairs towards the main entrance. Nothing. But under one of the adjacent doors saw light, and after sneaking closer he heard voices and laughter. He knew that this was the room his owners brought their visitors to, but only the visitors they felt close to. For the rest they had a stuffy room, built to impressed and intimidated. The room currently occupied had a huge fireplace, soft carpets and expensive yet comfortable seats and couches. The liquor cabinet was extensive, but Harry hadn't dared to try any. But that carpet in front of the fireplace had been deliciously warm and soft.

 

Unsure how to proceed Harry stayed hidden behind one of the antique vases, which were bigger than himself, comfortably hiding him from sight. After some time, just before he lost his interest in the whole situation, the door opened and the Entrance Hall was lightened up slightly.

 

“Will you stay the night, my Lord, or do you wish to return home.” Harry blinked at the respect in Lucius' voice. He only knew him to act haughty and suave. His curiosity heightened immensely.

 

A sensuous laughter filled the room. “As much as I would like, it would look too much like playing favourites. You know it's only two weeks until the bonding night. And since it should not look like I've already chosen before the offering, I have to take my leave now.”

 

“But did you already consider some of your choices? It is after all a difficult decision for only one night.” Lucius inquired.

 

Harry peeked out a little more, dying to see the other man. He could only make out an impressing form of a man, slightly taller than Lucius himself. He wore expensive looking clothes and had long black hair. Other than that Harry could not make out anything.

 

“I did, of course. And I have to admit Draco is a rather tempting choice. But still, the whole purpose of that night is to giver everyone a chance. And for me to see who I am drawn to the most. There are some quite fine specimen for me to chose from. There is noting more I can tell you. Speaking of which, do you have the information I've asked you for.”

 

“Of course, my lord, how thoughtless of me. I have them in the library. If you would wait here for a minute, I'll be quickly fetching them.

 

After Lucius' hasty retreat, Harry couldn't quell his curiosity any longer, and dared to take a better look at the stranger. Slowly leaning farther away from his hiding place, his breath caught when he came face to face with the tall stranger. One peek at the red eyed noble made him squeak and hide behind the vase again. A soft chuckle filled the room, and Harry carefully peeked from behind the vase again.

 

The man was clothed purely in black, accentuating his pale complexion even more. His long silky looking hair reached his elbows, and combined with his elegant yet manly features he was an impressing sight, especially for a boy with limited human contact. Harry found himself totally captivated by the deep red eyes, not in the least frightened by them. The stranger seemed not threatening and Harry started to relax slowly.An amused smile spread in the stranger face.

 

“Hey there, little one. Whom do I have the pleasure of meeting?” A slight blush crept onto Harry's face, and he slowly moved out from the security of his hiding, and more into the light.

 

“My name is Harry, sir.” He whispered softly, looking up through the wild bangs of his hair.

 

Voldemort took in the adorable sight before him. Clad only in green silk pyjamas the boy was truly an innocent temptation. His wild unruly hair, the expressive green eyes and the slender and sensuous grace his body moved with. The collar around his neck told him that this was one of Lucius little purchases he had heard from. He had been told about the wild duo Lucius and his spouse had taken to bed in delightful details, but he hadn't expected that third addition to the Malfoy household. Truly delectable.

 

Moving his hand to stroke a soft cheek, he marvelled in the innocence shining in those green depths. He just wanted to taste those full red lips when they heard a noise of Lucius returning. With another adorable squeak, the boy vanished quickly up the stairs, leaving Voldemort marvelling at the speed and silence of his movements. Truly an interesting development.

 

 

 

Draco let out shocked squeak when he felt something cold and shivering pressing against him, rising him from his slumber. Blinking owlishly he looked down at the shivering bundle in his arms. “What the hell…”

 

Cautious green eyes peeked up at him, and Harry suddenly knew that his little trip wouldn't be a secret any longer.

 

Raising his eyebrow in question Draco took in the icy condition his companion was in. “Make a little stroll in the manor, didn't we?” He drawled without malice. There wasn't much trouble the little one could have gotten into.

 

Harry nodded carefully. “I was hearing noises, and couldn't sleep. So I looked what kept me awake. Your father had a visitor, a very nice man.”

 

Draco sat up with growing alarm. “A visitor? How did he look like? And how do you know he was nice?”

 

Harry felt worry rise within him, but he just couldn't bring himself to lie to Drace. He had been nothing but kind to him since his arrival. And he couldn't think of a plausible lie anyways. “Well, I hid behind one of those large vases in the hall. Your father and his friend came out of the comfy room, and then your father was fetching something, and the other one was spotting me. He looked really nice, his hair was all black and silky, longer than your father's. His eyes were red. Oh, and your father called him my lord.”

 

Draco sucked in his breath in surprise. By Merlin's beard. Lord Voldemort had seen Harry. “What did he do when he saw you?”

 

Studying Draco intently Harry felt the importance of his answer. A little unsure what that all meant, he slowly retreated a little more to his side of the bed and answered carefully. “He only said hello. And asked for my name. Oh, and he stroked my cheek, that felt really nice. But when your father came back I ran. I didn't want to get in trouble. Am I in trouble. I'm sorry if …”

 

To his surprise he felt his lips being sealed with Draco's, and after the initial surprise he relaxed and let himself be pulled closer towards the older boy. When they broke the soft kiss, they cuddled together and Draco's soft words filled the room.

 

“Do you remember what I told you about the man we are to be given to?” Harry nodded, still unsure of the whole concept of being given away. “Well, he was the one.” Astonished green eyes met silver ones, and Harry thought that the whole giving away thing might not be so bad after all. Draco smiled and stroked through his unruly hair, calming the boy instantly.

“You know, his name is Lord Voldemort, and he is supposed to choose his future spouse from a number of noble families. It's a rather old ceremony that comes into practice. During a special night, the exact day has to be calculated by several powerful wizards, all those offering themselves to the Lord gather at the palace, and they get their own room. There they wait for the Lord to visit them, and after getting to know them and considering his options the Lord chooses one ore more of them. The two of us come in a package, therefore we will stay in the same room that night, and I just know that we will be chosen.”

 

Blinking in confusion Harry looked up again. “How? And is it even possible to have two spouses? What will I be to you and him?”

 

Stroking a soft cheek Draco smiled tenderly. “My father was given the task of searching for and choosing from all the possible young nobles. He was given an item made by the great wizard Dumbledore himself, that shows which wizards and witches are compatible with our Lord. But in my case the thing was acting a little strange and my father went to ask Dumbledore if it was malfunctioning. He was told that I alone would not be enough, and for our union to be a blessed one we needed a third person to join us. And my father found you.”

“The green light.” Harry gasped with astonishment.

 

“Exactly.” Draco grinned. “And it seems that the Lord is already taken with you, considering his reaction. He is not someone who touches just anybody willingly. You will be his spouse just like me. It is not that uncommon in our society. Especially not for a man in his position.”

 

“Why is that?”

 

“Well, he is the ruler, something like a king. I don't know if he wants his son to take over his thrown, or if he just wants to build up a strong family like mine. But men in his position need heirs. And the more wives or spouses he has, the more children. Only one would be overwhelmed with their duties as his spouse and bearing children.”

“Can men have children?”

 

“With the right potion, yes. But don't worry, if you are chosen to be the bearer, we will talk and I'll explain everything to you in detail. Don't worry, I'm with you, no matter what.”

 

Harry mulled over all the things he just heard. Feeling overwhelmed by all the changes in his life he snuggled closer towards Draco, searching for warmth and security, finding it in the little kisses and murmured encouragements. He started to feel a little sleepy, and after some time mulling over matters, his eyes closed and he shoved the thoughts away till tomorrow.
