Chapter Five- You've Got To be Kidding Me!
"Harry," Draco whined quietly, " I'm still tired.""You just missed Transfiguration to sleep the entire time, you-" Harry stopped abruptly as Draco distracted himself with a rather loud fly.
His elbow bumped Harry's and the familiarly odd shiver ran over his skin. It'd been happening more and more often around the blond; whenever they were to touch, Harry experienced the strangest feelings.
"Hiya, Harry!"
Harry turned and startled, seeing Colin Creevey standing directly behind him. Creepy Creevey.
"'Lo, Colin." Harry replied watching Draco jump, trying to catch the same fly."Professor Dumbledore wants you and Malfoy in his office. He says it's important and you should go right away." Colin beamed, seemingly proud of himself for delivering the small message. Harry nodded, his attention leaving the adorable blond for a few moments.
"Oh! And he said to tell you.he likes cockroach clusters. I don't know why." The small boy's brow furrowed.
"Thanks Colin. Draco, you're going to hurt yourself doing that." The cat-boy was attempting to climb the wall, up to where the fly sat.
Draco meowed reproachfully sliding down the three inches he'd managed to climb and following quickly after the Gryffindor.
"Harry, where are we going?" He asked, his ears twitching and turning."You didn't hear a word of that did you?" At Draco's blank expression, Harry thought it was safe to assume he hadn't. "We're going to Dumbledore's office. He needs to speak to us."
Draco thought for a moment before he took on a face of stricken panic." He's not going to take you away from me, is he?" He gasped.
Harry shook his head quickly. "Of course not. Come on."
***
"Cockroach Clusters." Harry muttered. The gargoyle grunted back at him, equally as pleased yo see him as it jumped aside, opening the door.
"Ah! Come in, Harry, Draco."
Draco followed behind Harry warily as Dumbledore smiled at them kindly from where he was standing at the window.
Draco's ears twitched as the headmaster gestured for them to sit down, settling himself down into the large cushioned throne-like armchair behind his cluttered desk."How is your little predicament going, my dear boys?" Dumbledore's eyes twinkled mischievously. Harry shifted uncomfortably.
"Um ... As well as it could be, really, Professor." The Gryffindor replied carefully. Draco kept his mouth shut.
"And Draco?" Dumbledore turned his head and looked at the blond cat-boy over the rim of his glasses. Draco smiled.
"Perfectly, Professor." He giggled. "Couldn't be better!"
Harry rolled his eyes.
Dumbledore returned his attention to the dark-haired teenager."Harry, I've got some news I've been, regretfully, keeping from you for quite some time-"
"That seems to happen quite a bit, doesn't it?" Harry snapped, cutting the old man off. Draco caught his unease and nudged his shoulder, licking his nose with the tip of his tongue when Harry turned his head. The said boy blushed brightly and cleared his throat, looking anywhere but Draco or the Headmaster."As I was saying, this is quite important and may be affecting your and Draco's relationship. Have you been noticing any changes in, say, sense of touch or emotion?" The beard inquired.
Harry frowned, obviously hesitant to say anything with Draco around. Dumbledore kept his kind smile in place and asked Draco to wait by the door.Harry glanced behind him and spoke softly, leaning forwards slightly.
"See, Professor Dumbledore ... I haven't really thought anything of it. But, er, whenever Draco's skin touches mine," Harry chewed his lip awkwardly, "I get this really weird shiver. I thought it was just something on the side of Draco's little problem, but ..." Harry studied the old teacher's eyes. "Obviously not."Dumbledore's smile faltered just a little and he leaned back.
"Well, Harry. I am reluctant to tell you, but you are half Veela from your father's side, and it seems that dear Mr Malfoy here is your soul partner, your other half ... Whichever label you choose."Harry gaped at him, speechless for almost a full minute.
"I'm sorry, what?"Dumbledore started to repeat himself and Harry shook his head frantically.
"No, I heard what you said, but what the hell does that mean and isn't there someway to stop it? I mean a potion or something? I can't be soul mates or whatever bat crap with Malfoy, without this potion mishap he hates me!"
Dumbledore smiled again and chuckled. "Whatever you may believe, it's no help denying the facts. Are you going to hear the rest out or not?"Harry nodded reluctantly and Draco meowed impatiently.
"You need to be with Draco at all times-""Well I know that already-"
"Harry, for the love of Hogwarts, do shut up and listen for once."
Harry blinked.
"Better. As I was saying, you will get incredibly ill if you fail to touch Draco for more than a week. Failure to do this will have quite the heavy consequences- there has been cases of death. Be careful, Harry." Dumbledore finished.
Harry opened and closed his mouth like a fish out of water, making incoherent sounds.
"Mr Potter, you're agitating Draco. Stop it." Professor McGonagall's voice startled Harry and he mumbled an apology.
"That is all for now, Harry. Professor McGonagall has informed Miss Granger about your newly-discovered background and has no doubt already emptied the library for information. If you've any questions, go to her. Goodbye, Harry, I've business to discuss."
Harry stumbled a farewell to the two professors and walked out tipsily, Draco steadying him with a worried expression.
"Harry? Are you alright? Did he do something to you?" Draco stiffened and Harry smiled at him.
"No, no, I'm fine. Let's skip Transfiguration for today."
Those five words made Draco's day.Hiiiii!
