The Silver Snakes

Chapter 13 - A talk between Mates and Harry's New Transformation.

Harry, Draco and the others had all been in Durmstrang for 3 days now, they had not had any lessons yet though. While they had all been given their timetables they were told that they would be starting on the Monday after they came to the school, they came to the school on a Friday which meant that they would be starting their lessons the next day.

Harry was becoming nervous, he had looked up what Krum had been telling him about his change, Durmstrang had a much larger library than Hogwarts did this could have been due to the fact the Durmstrang had a number of books on the dark arts. In fact most of the books in the library were dark, Durmstrang did accept those from the light who couldn't go to Hogwarts, but they were kept on a different campus with different teachers and there were only a small handful of them.

Harry had looked up the information in any of the light books but found nothing, then he thought that anything to do with creatures was considered dark and he began to look in the dark books. Harry had never seen a dark book before, he found every book that he read was interesting and told something new each time. Harry hated reading when he was in Hogwarts but now that he had something interesting to read it seemed as though he couldn't get enough. The books told him what Krum did, that if someone is blood adopted, has a mate and is very powerful then their whole being could change into something, and something more powerful then they were now.

While Harry was nervous about this he couldn't wait for his lessons to begin. He had looked at his timetable and found that most of his lessons were to do with the dark, he had asked the headmaster about this and he was told that since he has had no previous training with the dark spells then he would be spending more time on them. The headmaster told him that he didn't have light and dark lessons, he was told that the light and dark were taught together. He had every subject, but they were going to be spilt up into pieces he would learn the light side of the spell and then he would learn the dark side of the spell. Harry knew that he was going to do better in the dark arts as would all of his friends, he and the others had been betrayed by the light and they did not want to use the spells that the traitors had taught them.

"Hello love, something troubling you?" Draco's voice broke Harry out of his thoughts.

"Hey Draco, its just the days is drawing near when I am supposed to change. What if father hates me when I change? Or, even worse, what if you don't love me when I change?" These things had been on his mind since he was told what could happen. That was the one thing that Harry dreaded the most, his father, his friends and his mate leaving him when he changed.

Draco understood. Ron, Hermione and the others in Hogwarts were only using Harry from second year, they had discovered that they did like him in the first year but then Harry appeared to change to them and that's when they were approached by Dumbledore. Harry had changed in second year, he had gotten stronger, faster and smarter over the summer and his friends did not like that, so they turned their backs on him. Harry thought that his father, his friends and Draco was going to leave him if he did end up leaving.

Draco smiled softly and grabbed Harry's chin, forcing the dark haired boy to look into his eyes. "Harry I am never leaving you, no matter how much you change. I love you, not your looks but the way you want to help people, your personality and your pure heart and that is never going to change within you. No matter how much you change you are still going to be the boy that I am in love with, still be my mate and still be the one that I want to spend the rest of my life with. Your father loves you too Harry, you have changed the dark lord so much, that he is not torturing people, he listens to his Death Eaters and he allows those he trusts to call him Tom. This shows that you have given him the heart that he lost so long ago, you brought Tom Riddle back and got rid of Voldemort. And all of your true friends, not the Weasel and the Mud-Blood, they love you and care for you too, you gave them the freedom that they had never had." Draco finished, pressing his lips to his mates forehead.
