Twin Flames

Leads & Monstrous deeds.

Just as they agreed with Kingsley the article came out Friday morning with his official statement about the events of the week. He focused on Draco and Harry healing the long-term patients like Frank and Alice and glazed over the resurrection event as if it just happened and wasn't an intentional act by Draco. He didn't mention that Harry and Draco have the unique powers of Life and Death but, he did announce that they had gone through an ancient and rare bonding ceremony explaining their being M.I.A for the week. He also mentioned that the ceremony they performed was what caused the power surge people had felt all over the country.

The tone of the article had been pleasant and had not strayed from what Kingsley had said but it didn't take long for other smaller publications to come out with their own opinion pieces. So, by the end of Friday there were a lot of different opinions on 'what really happened' according to other people's speculations. Thankfully, Witch Weekly had remained in Harry's hands because they mostly published congratulations and well wishes for the new couple and after Harry had sent a list of specifics they were allowed to know they had ran a spread on the 'behind the bond' an article that focused on their relationship respectfully and took the focus off of the miracle work entirely.

All in all, by Friday night Harry and Draco had become sick of reading about themselves and the identities of those who had returned were still safe, though a few publications had guessed at a few correctly. The next day would announce the return of Fred, who had volunteered to expose his identity first, he had chosen to do it on Saturday due to it being the twins birthday too. He wanted it to be a proper rebirth statement winking to James knowing it had in fact been like that for James.

Severus and Sirius were able to find a whole room that had Lucius's most dark possessions in it and Kingsley had to get Robards to help them that day in sorting it all out but they were all hopeful something in what they found would be useful in finding him and stopping his plots before they came to fruition. Draco was the most excited about that prospect, not really feeling like he could relax because of it. Expressing to Harry that he sometimes thought he had brought everyone back for them to just be in danger from his own dad.

He had woken from a nightmare that Friday night from which Lucius had subsequently killed everyone Harry loved all over again only this time he and Regulus were among the dead. He knew that Harry wouldn't survive that, he knew the kind of love Harry felt for everyone because now they were bonded he felt it too. He felt exactly what Harry felt, so he knew that it would break him.

Lucius may not have been Voldemort with a decades-long vendetta against Harry but given all that Harry had now to loose, he could potentially leave a more devastating impact on Harry. Harry had tried to reassure him that it's because of everything he now had that he would make sure Lucius didn't win. Draco had given him a reason to live, when defeating Voldemort Harry had people who cared yes but they all had their own lives that he wasn't needed to be a part of, so sacrificing himself had been an easier choice than he had ever thought it would be.

Harry assured him that he would not be rushing in all Gryffindor ready to sacrifice his life and he sure as hell won't be risking anyone he loved. Agreeing that it was important to try and get ahead of the situation but that Lucius was not going to get to anyone they loved. They had more power than anyone and there was no way it would be easy to defeat them, offering to start a training regime with him to find out what they were capable of in case they faced Lucius in battle again.

Draco calmed down at Harry's words, he felt like an idiot but Harry told him that he thought it was nice that they could talk about that kind of stuff and not feel weak. Harry admitted he had thought about it too but had psyched himself out of it and Draco felt better knowing he wasn't alone, he would never be alone again. Harry knew Draco was feeling better and curled up to go back to sleep as if it was no big deal to wake up in the middle of the night from nightmares. Which when he thought about the beginning of their relationship, exactly that had happened too often because of the war.
