~*Don't go looking for snakes you might find them Don't send your eyes to the sun you might blind them Haven't I seen you here before? There ain't no heroes here...no....no more*~

"Are you sure that this is correct" a raspy voice sounded groggy from sleep, Draco Malfoy was not in the best of moods when his rest was disturbed
"I see, so the shrieking shack then is it, no wonder I couldn't find wonder boy earlier the little sneaks been hiding right under my nose" he fumed down the line
"No............no Pansy darling I'm most grateful for your help" he purred down the line, it seemed that being one of the best computer hackers in the Wizarding world had finally paid off for Ms Parkinson and for once Draco knew that with perfect certainty that Harry Potter would be his
"Thank you very much, yes you go take care of those darling god-daughters of mine and I'll fax you job details next week" and with those parting words he settled the phone down on its cradle a smile of utter triumph on his lips
"Who would have thought that Severus Snape would be helping Harry Potter? He mused to himself flinging the silk sheets from his naked body
The moon reflected over his pale limbs and he stopped to observe himself in his full-length mirror
His body was powerful, each muscle honed to perfection, he ran a hand over his stomach feeling the muscles clench and shiver beneath his cool fingertips
He'd make Harry shiver, and shake with fear the likes of which he had never known before. And he's watch with relish as the life was slowly sucked out of the once worshiped hero of Hogwarts
He'd be willing to stake his very name on it
But onto more pressing matters, he pulled a pair of black jeans and a black long sleeved jumper from his walk in wardrobe and headed for the bathroom, he had a murderer to catch

The night was still, and the only light to pierce the darkness was the dimly lit street lamps which randomly littered the deserted roads, coupled with the eerie glow of the full moon over head
The silence was broken by the shrill hoot of an owl as it swept in for its kill and the soft fall of footsteps that echoed on the dusty ground
A young man walked freely through the deserted streets of Hogsmead, his black clothing seeming to blend in with the night, and his slick blonde hair shimmered under the street lamps dull glow
Excitement mixed with uncertainty waged a war on his striking handsome face as thoughts rushed one after the other through his head..................he was so close to his goal now he could almost taste the victory
Excitement won and a grin broke out across his lips
Grey eyes shrewdly assessed the darkness and scanned in every direction taking in the silent buildings as he searched for any signs of movement in the shadows
He found it, in the tall and swaggering stance of his ex potions professor Severus Snape. Who walked with complete confidence in his destination only five yards ahead of where he stood
A soft chuckle echoed through the darkness at having found his target
And with a last fugitive glace behind him Draco Malfoy stealthily followed his old professor and longest confidante, who continued on his way blissfully ignorant of his new trailing companion
*********** **************** *************** ******************* ***************** *****************
The light knock on the door awoke Ron Weasley who up until that moment had been dreaming of his wife Luna and what they could get up to once he got home with a start
Grunting and muttering an oath at having his lovely dream interrupted he stretched leisurely and stifled a yawn. Rising from the confines of the comfy chair, which had caused more than one kink in his back muscles, he stumbled groggily and half asleep to the door flinging it open. The sight of the brooding dark figure of Severus Snape had him awake and to attention instantly
"Weasley" Snape spat his eyes practically spitting venomous fire at the young man stood before him, his whole figure taking on one of open hostility and he made to shove past the other man his eyes burning in the darkness
Knowing that he deserved the other mans contempt and not at all intimidated by it Ron hurriedly scurried out the way to avoid being bowled over by the irate professor and closed the door with a light click not noticing that he had failed to shut it properly
"Look if your going to shout at me" Ron whispered before Snape could explode after whirling round to pin him with a contemptuous look that told him he had been about to do just that "can you do it quietly, since Harry's asleep" he finished
Snape turned to look at the peacefully sleeping form of his charge sprawled unabashedly half naked on the couch and felt his face soften, he had no intention of waking Harry but since he wanted to yell at Ron and use some very colourful phrases he had no option other than to relocate for a sever shouting session
"Fine you shall accompany me by portkey to Hogwarts" Snape hissed pulling a small rusty key from his pocket. Two sets of hands touched the objects an incantation was muttered then the room was empty save for a slumbering Harry Potter
Nobody had noticed the door opening slowly nor the manically grinning Draco Malfoy who stood under its frame. Surveying the room he stepped inside closing the door quietly making sure that it was securely locked before moving into the slightly bare small yet cosy room, he sank onto the seat which was still warm having only just been vacated by Ron and awaited the waking of the young man who his gaze was resting on
His eyes took in every plane of Potters body as he slept unaware of being watched
Draco sniffed the air, something smelled vaguely familiar yet odd at the same time and he had the distinct impression that the scent was coming from none other than Harry himself
His rivals body was everything Draco had expected it to be, powerfully built with hard muscles honed from years of Quiditch as well as the physical exertion of his family, it was even to Draco a most beautiful sight so brown yet pale in the darkness
He shook his head he did not want to be pondering any such thoughts about Harry's body
This was the man who had taken everything from him, even if he did sleep with the face of an angel wearing innocence over his soft features like a mask
He pondered what those features would contort into when he awoke and saw none other than his most hated enemy Draco Malfoy sat no less than two feet away from him
Oh how he would relish the fear that would undoubtedly shine from within the depths of those emerald eyes, the slight gasp that would spring from those full lips and the shiver of apprehension that would run over that exposed body
He licked his lips, anticipation welling up inside him along with all his thoughts of being in control
He could hardly wait
