Life In Death

Chapter Ten

"My dream a dream so far away the day will come when our breaths will join and we will blow like the winds across the sands of time"

-Quatre Rebarbara Winner

Last Time:

The boy who lived groaned, "Because of a prophecy, 'The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches ... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies ... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not ... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives ... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies ..." I am the boy in the prophecy. Lily and James denied him three times, the dark lord marked me the night he tried to kill me in my crib. And according to the prophecy one of us is going to die."

Trowa glared, "It will be him who dies not you. We will make sure of that"

Harry smiled at them before nodding receiving a crushing hug from both Quatre and Duo.

This Time:

Pulling from the hug the young golden boy hung his head and curled into Quatre's chest as the blonde smiled and pulled him closer. Looking up he noticed the Heero, Wufei, Trowa and Duo had slipped out leaving him and the older blond alone in each other's arms. The two slipped over to the couch and curled up together Harry's head on Quatre's shoulder as they stared into the magical flames of the fire.

Quatre's soft voice carried over the silence, ""My dream a dream so far away the day will come when our breaths will join and we will blow like the winds across the sands of time".

Sitting up a bit straighter Harry looked back at the tall blonde, "What did you say?"

The blonde pilot smiled and explained in a hush tone, "It is an old saying about how love can break all bonds and beat all the odds."

Nodding that small wizard snuggled closer as Quatre picked up the two remaining letters. Looking at the wizard sighed and took them carefully setting Draco's to the side he slowly opened the twins letter. As he had suspected a bright orange smoke exploded from the envelope and the letter rose into the air. The two stared as it formed into two mouths and began to sing:

"Oh Harry

Oh Harry

Have we a surprise for you!

It is so true

Whatever shall we do?

But simply just tell you!

So we sing this little note

As a message of our love

We love brother

Oh little little brother

But you must know

We love another so

We asked him out

And he surprisingly said yes!

Sooooo noooow we

Ask you a favor

It really is so true

To be nice to him

Depite his slytherin flaws

We love him

Oh yes we really love him

So just go ahead and know

Whom we love so

The slytherin prince

And his name be Draco!"

The letter stopped and melted into silly string and the two sat there open mouthed and wide eyed. Harry blinked and sighed covering his eyes and groaned loudly.

Blinking Quatre gently prodded Harry, "Who is Draco?"

Sighing the younger teen responded, "He is what I like to call my rival and a royal pain in my ass."

Snorting the blonde sighed, "Perhaps you should get to know him then?"

Harry sighed even louder, "Yes I should, might as well read the letter he sent then shall we?"

Picking up the expensive envelope he flipped it over and slowly opened it half expecting it to jinx or attack him. When nothing happened he slowly removed the letter and unfolded it carefully. Upon the page were floral blue letters written by a hand that was obviously well trained in penmanship.

Dear Mr. Potter,

As I am sure you have read already the twins and I have come into a relationship, and as much as I hate your Gryffindor ways I am willing to look past them for the sake of Fred and George. I know in the past we have been somewhat at odds, but I wish to convey that I am no longer a Malfoy there for I no longer abide by my father's law. Potter, I never really did hate you. I acted that way because I was jealous and immature. I was mad at the fact you rejected taking my hand that first day. I was upset over the fact that you had more of my father's attention than I ever had. Even my mother seemed drawn to what your life was about rather than mine. I apologize for the way I have acted in the past and wish to extend my hand in friendship once more. Perhaps the time for change has come.

Draco

Harry frowned suddenly as he read the letter, "that's not good. Quatre would it be possible to set up a meeting in a local place sometime within the next day or two?"

Quatre frowned slightly, "It would probably be better if it was conducted here actually. That way the security would be better. Why what did you have in mind?"

The dark haired teen sighed, "I wish to speak to Draco on the matter of his current circumstance. I may not have been raised in the wizarding world but I do know that to have no last name can spell disaster for any wizard."

Nodding the blonde stood and whispers, "I will go speak with the others you send a letter to your friend tell him to be here tomorrow morning 8am," as he slipped out the door.

Harry frowned and sighed standing slowly to walk over to the window spotting a large owl still sitting in the window sill. Laughing lightly he whistled to it watching as it came to him landing on the back of the couch his feathers ruffling in inpatients. Picking up a pen from his desk he scrawled down a quick response before attaching it to the owls leg.

Watching as it flew out the window he smiled slipping onto the couch staring into the flames his head falling to the side as he drifts to sleep.

-WWW Shop-

The owl flew to a small shop outside of town tapping gently at the small window slowly a tall blonde answered the gentle tapping and opened the window. The large bird flew to the desk chair landing regally upon it, holding out its leg patiently.

Draco smiled gently and took the letter giving the large owl a small treat. Slowly opening the letter he sighed and shook his head, "The great Harry Potter as elegant as always I see," sarcasm rolling off his tongue like a fine wine.

Sighing gently he tossed the small letter into the flames of his fire before taking a seat slowly stroking his owls beak. Waiting for the twins to come up from the downstairs shop was always the most boring time of the day.

It wasn't long before the twins opened the door and slipped over to where Draco sat. Their arms wrapping around the slightly smaller blonde sweet words were whispered and the lights dimmed as moans where heard.

-At Hogwarts-

Dumbledore peered down at the paper in his hands his eyes no longer held their twinkle. That selfish little brat escaped him! And now he couldn't find him at all. "I will find you Potter and I will put you in your place." A smirk spread across the old man's face, "Oh yes I will show you your place indeed."

-With Harry Next Morning-

Awakening he quickly slipped from the bed and over to the harth where his egg lay warmed by the sands it lay in. Smiling he gently touched the egg noting it seemed harder than it had the day before.

Taking in the small veins along the egg he sighed and stood slipping into the bathroom to quickly shower and dress. It wasn't until he slipped down the stairs did the nervousness strike him. He wasn't sure how this meeting would go over with Malfoy but he hoped it would go well. Smoothing out his button up shirt he entered the entrance hall only to see Malfoy there already being greeted by Heero and Wufei, the other pilots standing off to the side watching carefully.

Smiling gently he slipped up to Malfoy extending his right hand in greeting, "Lord Draco a pleasure to meet you"

Malfoy smiled gently, "Lord Potter Black a pleasure and please I am Lord no more, it is just Draco now."

Harry nods, "In that case please address me as Harry."

Smiling Draco shook his hand and soon Harry was leading him to conference room Quatre had decided was best for the meeting. Taking a seat Draco turned and looked around the room as the Gundam pilots also slipped in and sat down around the table.

Smiling and nodding toward them he turned to Harry and sighed, "Thank you for meeting me and if I may be frank, you really need to learn how to write formal letters."

Harry sighed and rubbed his palms together, "Yes I am well aware I am far from your pureblood standards, Draco."

The blonde rolled his eyes, "You are a wizarding Lord, Harry you need to learn our ways and the ways of your family. But that's not the reason we are here. The reason we are here is because you wished to speak with me so speak."

Harry blushed lightly and glancing to the pilots for encouragement he started off on a light note, "Well first I would like to congratulate you on your current relationship. I hope the twin's haven't harassed you too much?"

Draco's face became red. "Yes, well we are mostly keeping that to only close friends. It has truly changed my life being with them," he smiled lovingly as he remembered the night before.

The younger wizard smiled and gently taped the blondes hand to get him to look at him, "I understand that you truly care for them and I am glad that they truly care for you as well. I mostly summoned you here to discuss your now current standing in the wizarding world. What has been happening since my absence?"

Draco sighed deeply, "that is a long story to tell Harry and by far it is not a good one."

Swallowing he quickly thanked Trowa as he set glasses of water before him and the other wizard slowly he nodded at Draco to continue.

The blonde sighed taking a sip of the drink before continuing, "Voldemort has spread rumours, he doesn't believe the rumours, which you are off somewhere to train and he is now attacking with great vigour hoping to flush you out of hiding. And his raids are increasing in violence, more casualties more injured, it has become a nightmare to even step out of your homes. He has spread the war to encompass even Russia and Africa. It is only a matter of time before it consumes China as well."

Gripping the table Harry hissed slowly, "and what of Dumbledore?"

The blonde slammed his fist to the table, "that disgusting old coot is just as corrupt as Voldemort he is threatening everyone to find you. Rumour has it he is even dosing students with truth serum to see if they know anything of your location."

Harry nodded his mouth set in a hard line, "Then I don't have much more time they can't keep going on like this."

Draco sighed and laid a hand on Harry's shoulder, "There is nothing you can do right now Harry. You must understand you are not strong enough yet to take them both on. But in time you can be. I ask you do not attack till after Christmas give us and yourself enough time to prepare and plan. The wizarding world is already going to hell in a hand basket what is a few weeks more at this point in time. Wars are not won in a day. It takes time and careful planning."

Heero finally spoke up, "He is right Harry. We need to plan this correctly is it is going to work, and the first thing to do is to find a way to make electronics work in the wizarding realm. Let us take this a step at a time ok?"

The brunette nodded grimly before blinking in surprise as a warmth spread through his chest as if on instinct he stood suddenly the others not far behind the words left his mouth in a rush, "My egg its hatching!"

Slipping from the rooms Harry and the others made it to the room just as the a small head began to break the shell rushing forward Harry scooped up the egg watching as his new familiar broke the shell into this world.
