Yawning, I blink my tired eyes open and look down to see my Harry gone, his side of the bed long cold.
I bolt up and growl when I can no longer feel my little mate through our bond. I get dressed rapidly and storm out of the bedroom, a scowl on my face. Blaise takes note of my dark expression. "What's wrong, Draco?" he asks, sounding concerned.
"Harry's missing. And considering how cold his side of the bed is, he's been missing for a while. I also can't feel him through our mate bond. I have to find him. He could be in danger!" I hiss, clearly frustrated at the situation.
Blaise nods determinedly and says, "We'll tell McGonagall before breakfast and see if we can search the castle instead of going to class." Nodding, I follow him out of the Slytherin common room and head straight to the Headmistress' office.
After the gargoyle lets us in, we burst into her office right as she was about to head down to the feast it seems. "What's seems to be the problem, boys?" she asks, her face pinched into a concerned expression. After all, she's never seen me this...panicked and I never come to her with my problems.
"Harry's missing! Please, can Blaise and I search the castle instead of attending classes today. I need my mate." I plead, tears pricking my eyes. Minerva gasps and nods quickly. "I'll notify your teachers of the reason for your absences." she tells us.
Just as Blaise and I reach the door she stops us. "Find Harry, boys. I'm counting on you." she whispers, her eyes shining. We nod and run out, public images be damned.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Hours later, we've searched every nook and cranny to no avail. We can't find my little submissive. My little mate.
I lean against a wall and let my tears fall silently. I lost him. I only just found him, and I lost him. Sobbing, I reach out mentally to my Raven, only to find nothing there too.
Suddenly, a bolt of pain takes my breath away. "Harry!" I gasp. An image flashes through my mind and I clench my jaw.
I know where he is now. "Don't worry, little mate. I'm coming for you. Just hold on." I whisper underneath my breath.
With determination in my every stride, I walk into the Black Forest and apparate to a location near Harry's. I glance up at the imposing structure in front of my and unfurl my wings. "I'm coming for you."
