When Darkness Rises

Some Past

The teens slumbered against the wall as Sirius and Remus worked to calm Severus.

"Shh. We will help you. And we will get revenge. Just not now. James will want you to remain calm, and Lily loved you like a brother." Remus said and watched as Snape forced himself to calm down. Slowly he turned back to his calm self.

"I am a ark elf. James was a werecat. Just not as submissive as Harry is. But yes, he was a carrier. James had to hide that fact from the ministry. Harry will have to hide what he's becoming too." The three look at Harry and Draco. "He will have to have almost constant contact with a dominant. I believe he will have another mate." Snape said thoughtfully.

"What makes you say that?" Inquires Sirius. "Won't Draco be enough?"

The elf shook his head. "No, its not like that. It goes by power. The more power, the more mates. There will be one more mate. We just have to wait to see who."

The teens start to wake up and Remus takes the silencing charm down. Remy yells, "Kreacher! Prepare supper. Make enough for our guests also." The house elf pops in then out again.

Harry stands up, and Draco rises a moment later and hugs him from behind, sniffing his hair. The black haired teen just looks back at the blonde. "Why are you sniffing me?"

The veela replied, "Your scent calms me, comforts me." He kissed his submissive's cheek. Harry giggled and his stomach growled loudly. He whimpered and shrunk away from Draco. "Harry, love, I will not hurt you." He just curled up on the floor as his green eyes glazed over.

Remus, Sirius, and Severus quickly moved forward. Snape went to tilt Harry's head back but he only screamed. The professor looked at Draco. "He is reliving a memory. You need to bring him out of it." Draco kneeled in front of his crying mate, nearly in tears himself from worry. "Talk to him!"

"Harry, please come out of it. You will not be hurt here. What your seeing is in the past. That is all gone. Come back to me my mate. My life. Come to me." The dominant spoke softly, yet frantically, and Harry's cries got a little quieter. His skin seemed to shimmer. Scars appeared all over Harry's body. Draco looked up at the three men. "How did this happen?!"

"Draco calm down. We will explain later. Right now, bring him all the way back." Siri said as calmly as possible.

Draco lightly touched Harry's side. "Listen, you have to come back love..."

"Bring me my food boy!" Uncle Vernon shouted.

I had grilled steaks for dinner. Like normal I haven't eaten all day. The smell of the meat was mouthwatering. I looked longingly at the food as I served it which earned me a backslap. I fell back on my ass and my stomach rumbled loudly. Vernon stood and picked me off the floor by the collar of my dingy shirt. His spit landed on my face when he started talking.

"Do you think scum like you deserve to eat?! Much less live?! I should kill you now." He had picked up a steak knife off the table and pressed the tip into my stomach, drawing blood. Dudley was grinning like a loon and clapping his hands. He likes watching me being punished. Petunia just had a satisfied smirk.

I could feel the knife be pulled over my skin. Biting my lip, I muffled screams. In the back of my head I started hearing voices... "...all gone. Come back to me my mate. My life. Come to me." Muffled voices, what was going on?

My vision blurred as I started to hear that beautiful voice again...

Harry blinked and opened his eyes to see his mate's pale and worried face. "Draco?" He hugged him and cried into his shirt. Draco only petted Harry's hair and whispered calming words.

"I love you Harry and I will never let you be hurt again." He caressed the dark haired teen's skin. The men moved back. Severus pulled a vial of Calming Drought from his robe and gave it to Draco. "Love? I need you to drink this for me." The blonde held the vial in front of the other. Harry drank it and soon felt much calmer.

The house elf popped in. "Supper is ready,"Kreacher bowed and left.

All five males went down to the dining room. Harry held Draco's hand and nearly pulled him down the stairs. "Come on! I'm hungry!" In record time the two were down in the large room. Pushing him in a chair, Harry crawled onto Draco's lap. The others laughed all the way. The small teen blushed and made them laugh harder, even Snape. The blonde kissed his mate's head as food was served.

"Here, mix this in your food Harry. It will help your body restore some nutrients." The dark elf handed him a vial. The boy did as he was told and dug into his food. Draco ran his fingers down Harry's back as they ate and talked.

A few hours later, they lay the raven teen on his bed and gave him the sleeping and healing potion mix. 'Earlier they promised an explanation' Draco thought as Harry's body began to twitch in his sleep.
