Finding you

‘Thought’ “Talking”

Harry/Draco, M/M Warning.

Note: Voldomort is dead; Harry defeated him in his sixth year. All death eaters are in Azkaban and Draco’s only family is his mother and Severus his godfather. I know it has no Povs but it would just confuse me when I write and I know the characters are kind of out of character but I can’t help it this is my first Harry Potter story.

Harry Pov -

Today didn't start how I imagined it would, the place I was currently in did not seem real and it did not feel real. I had to guess I was in a dream realm but I knew it had to have something to do with the boy in my arms. Draco who had started to shake slightly just kept looking one way then the other, not understanding why when he couldn't see anything but fog. I was worried, earlier when I had found him he seemed scared but he calmed instantly in my presence, why would he be scared again now, why wasn't I having the same effect as before on him. "Draco?...I think we should walk, see if we can find a way out" the younger boy just nodded and pulled from my body, I groaned mentally already missing his warmth but starting to walk along side him, making sure to stay close together as we navigated through the mist.

We walked in silence for the time being, Draco probably too proud to talk first and I was just too darn confused, thinking about what had happened, surely there was an explanation behind all this. Why else would we be so drawn to each...I noticed earlier how defensive of Draco I was and that’s just so unusual, we had both accepted each other too quickly, -arch enemies- mind you. That just didn't happen overnight, shouldn't happen yet I couldn't seem to care less about that, I just wanted to know why. The curiosity got the better of me I guess you could say.

So I guess we had been walking for no longer than 20 minutes, well I wasn't really sure, if this was a dream like I suspected than we could have only been walking minutes...hours didn't seem likely. Though in this short amount of time it didn't take much longer for Draco to start complaining about his feet and wearing out his fancy slippers which made me chuckle at the idea of -fancy- anything in this slytherine's wardrobe.

"Alright alright we can stop and rest....-but- then we keep going...” I looked at the blonde with a look that left room for little argument, Draco only sulked but nodded in agreement, carefully sitting down on the foggy ground, tugging me down with him, I fell to the ground beside him with a sharp cry of surprise then glared at the other. "I can sit down for myself you know" I wasn't too sure where this sudden anger came from but earlier I hadn't even been able to dislike the other boy let alone be angry at him. Draco's reply had been to stick his tongue out childishly then sit there relaxing visibly "I know that Harry but I felt like helping you" he laughed softly to himself while I sat there amazed at how carefree he seemed aware from the pressures of his father, the slytherine house and his friends.

We must have sat here about five minutes, just talking about the situation, both giving a bored tone of voice and seeming to get more comfortable on the floor, after a moment I noticed Draco had started rubbing his eyes then I had to give a yawn, tiredness seeming to take me over as everything started getting blurry, I rubbed my eyes too, only finding it wasn't my tiredness making everything blurry, we were going back!

Harrys Pov -

I awoke awhile later in my own bed, in my own room and with no mist or fog around me. I gave a sigh of relief and sat up, shifting my legs around the side of the bed to stand up, I grabbed my glasses off the night stand, not remembering having taken them off in the first place and put them on. Blinking a few times before my sight returned clearly, looking around me panicked to see if Draco had woken up in the same room as me, and thankfully not finding him there. 'He must be in his own bed'.

I went around the routine of washing, dressing in my uniform and robes then getting my school bag ready for later but I didn't take it with me, instead leaving it on the bed as I made my way to the great hall, noticing a lot of other guys from my dorm had already left for breakfast. I stepped out of the common room into the hallways of the castle, walking at a leisurely pace to the ever moving stairs which took me to the next level down of the building, then down some more stairs to get to the hallway that led me to the great hall, I could already smell food but my appetite had abandoned me this morning in favour for the still curious thoughts niggling in the back of my mind.

------------------------------------------------------------

Draco’s Pov -

The first thing I became aware of was a couple of light breezes of air hitting my face, for a moment I thought someone had left a window open but I also started to hear crackling of paper, I opened one eye to glare at Blaze who was currently sitting in front of my bed fanning me a wide grin on his face. "Come one Draco get up, we don't want to miss breakfast". I just rolled my eyes, muttering bitterly "Oh no, wouldn't want to miss that" as I got out of bed slowly, I made my way across the cold stone floor to the shared bathroom, tiptoeing in just in case anyone else was in there, not wanting to share the bathroom hence why I get up late. I saw no one in there and let out the breath I was holding, starting to shower, promptly shouting at Blaze as he went to come in, I could now hear him snickering from outside the door and shook my head, pain in the....I stopped the thought there not wanting to think of where that took me and a certain raven haired boy in my previous dreams.

---------------------------------------------------------- --

Back to Harrys Pov in the great hall -

I had chosen a seat between Neville and Luna, Luna was reading from a large book titled "Strange Magical Creatures", I was always amused to note this girl had Hermione’s thirst for knowledge but only when it came to creatures nobody else believed existed. Neville was currently taking a bite out of a piece of jam covered toast, I gave a greeting smile and reached over the plates of food to grab a waffle, this was it, this was my breakfast and that’s all. I was about to take a bite out of the suddenly mouth-watering food when a shrill voice reached my ears "Harry! Why on earth aren't you sitting up the other end of the table with us..?" I sighed quietly, knowing she hadn't heard, was it too much to want a peaceful breakfast? "I didn't see you" I knew damn well it was a lie ...but she didn't. "Oh...well we are here now" her and Ron took it upon themselves to sit down, the other side of the table from me, the seats having only moments ago become vacant, I tried not to frown as I bit into the waffle, now finding it dissatisfying as I chewed.

I knew this was not going to go well as soon as she starting to talk about my recent lack of -effort- with my school work and all the sleeping in I was doing, really she hadn't got a clue as to why I got up late -once-, as for the schoolwork, I wasn't being lazy with it, I did just fine, so what if I didn't get as high as grades as 'miss knowledge', I snorted mentally at this, ignoring what else she had to say as I finished my waffle. Neville lightly tapped my arm and I turned to him curiously "H-harry I wanted to go to the library quickly to return a book and was wondering if you could, would you come with me..." I could have kissed him for this but I knew Blaze -and- Draco would get jealous so I quickly nodded and stood up, ignoring Hermione’s suddenly screech like noise at me for not listening. "Harry Potter I demand you listen to me this inst-where are you going?! I'm still talking...Harry?". As me and Neville left the great hall, not noticing the few pairs of eyes watching us, I felt sudden relief at being away from her, she was supposed to be my friend but as of late all she has done is badly mother me.

Having gotten outside the great hall and down the corridor a bit I suddenly turned to the other boy grinning from ear to ear "Thanks Nev, I thought I'd throttle someone if I had to listen to her nag me any longer", Neville laughed some, smiling at the nickname "Yes I gathered you where in need of rescuing, don't mention it though, I'll give you an excuse to leave anytime" we both laughed together and held some light chatter as we travelled to the library.

-----------------------------------------

Inside the library after Neville had returned his "Dangerous Plants and Weeds" text book I had waved goodbye to the shy boy as he left for Divination, I myself detested the class and had never shown up, the headmaster had already spoken with me several times about it so I decided to offer a change of classes so I would actually have the same number of classes just not -that- one.

I walked along the dusty book shelves of the library, my keen eyes taking in the titles on the spines of the volumes. I picked a few up that seemed close to what I needed "Love and Magic", Attraction in All Forms" and finally out of desperation "Beginners Curses". I knew the last volume wouldn't give the spells but it would tell me about the different types of curses you can get, if this was a curse then I wanted to know about it. I carried the heavy tombs over to an empty table in the far corner of the library, setting them down lightly on the table before dragging out a chair, slumping down in it and pulling the first book towards me.

"Here I go..." I muttered to myself as I opened the book at the cover page to search its contents list for anything familiar. My index finger running across the old page over the dry inked words, I could smell the book, smell its age as I wrote down on a bit of parchment a few names of sections of the book that I would look at. The parchment quickly filled up, I had no idea what I was truthfully looking for, I set the book aside, having started with the "Beginners Curses" and picked up "Love and Magic", It was as I was scanning the contents list that I all but shouted out hallelujah as the nagging curiosity was finally quenched, seeing the words "Bond" jumping out from the page, not literally or that would probably cause me to fall out my chair but mentally the word jumped at me. A bond, this is what me and Draco had going with us, some kind of bond, but which I didn't know. Another sense of curiously sprung up in me, making me groan quietly in annoyance.

I grabbed all three books and put them back in their right places before going about, searching for any type of book involving bonds, I came across a few I decided I wanted to read named "Bonds of All Emotions", "Life Bonds" and "Bonds in history". I looked at the last one ironically seeing the title "Hogwarts A History" pop in my head the amount of times Hermione had quoted from it making me decidedly not like that book.

I again made my way to the table at the back, sitting with my three books, I checked the time quickly, noting mentally I had but half an hour to get back to my dorm, grab my bag and get to potions. I shivered slightly; I hated that class, Snape was always giving me the hardest questions to embarrass me, knowing I didn't know them. I decided not to let that get to me just yet and sat reading the first book for a while; it having been the one to interest me the most, a certain paragraph caught my eye.

'When two wizards/witches have an equally high emotion for each other it makes it simple for a bond to be created, the emotion can be love, friendship, lust or even hate. There does not need to be a ceremony for this bond to take affect if the emotions in both are high and if both are strong beings it can be created.' I grimaced, this would be one time where me being the boy who lived comes in handy, not! So what it was saying basically was that even though me and Draco hated each other the emotion was so strong that we created a bond together, what time of bond though?...I read on:

'The bond may start with any of the following reactions
·High fever
·Dreams
·Taking on others personality traits
·Headaches
·Sudden change in how you feel for someone

Further reactions are possibly as follows:

·Possessiveness
·Dreams
·Jea lously
·Bodily pain when being away from the other
·The female or Sub being overly emotional
·Both causing calming effects on each other

My eyes widened, "Dreams" I whispered, we were already having dreams, shared dreams in fact but before I had been having dreams, I should remind myself to ask Draco if he had been too. This whole bond thing was starting to become too much to take in, a bond, those were hard to break, I heard from Hermione that they had horrible effects on either one or both parties. I never thought when I woke up this morning that I would be in a bond with one Draco Malfoy but then again I wasn't 100% sure it was yet.....oh who am I kidding, I'm a Potter, it's bound to be a bloody bond! Then a word made me stop 'Sub'.....what’s that meant to....oh dear. This meant the bond was possibly a Dom/Sub bond, I've heard of those types of relationships, I was not as closeted as everyone thought while I grew up I still knew certain terms. If this was true then my possessiveness over Draco couldn't possibly make me the Dom could it. I shook my head, again checking the time, I grabbed the books and headed to the counter, the librarian stared at me strangely for my choice of books, I grinned sheepishly "Class project.....for extra credit" I hurried to add.
