~*~Escape from England~*~


Everyone believed that Harry Potter was a naïve young man, who willingly followed the manipulations of Albus Dumbledore, but those people are wrong. Harry Potter was his own person; he hadn’t been under Albus Dumbledore’s manipulations since his first year when he found out the truth. To say he was pissed off would be a gross understatement.

When Sirius Black had died and Dumbledore had finally relented to tell him the prophecy he knew that he was being lied to yet again. After he had left Dumbledore’s office he had been dragged into a dark class room and had found himself face to face with his Divination Professor, the same person to say the prophecy.


****Flashback****

“Professor, what is it you want?” Harry asked Trelawney after she locked the door and put up a silencing spell.

“Did Professor Dumbledore tell you the prophecy?” she asked him.

“Yes,”

“What did he tell you?” Trelawney asked as she sat down.

“The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches. Born to those who thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies. And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have Power the Dark Lord knows not. And either must die at the hands of the other for neither can live while the other survives. The one to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies.”

“That manipulative bastard.” Trelawney said aloud as Harry finished relaying what he had been told.

“Excuse me Professor, but what do you mean?” Harry asked her.

“That isn’t the full prophecy, he’s edited it.”

“What is the real prophecy?” Harry asked as he tried to keep a hold of his anger.

“The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches. Born to those who thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies. And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have Power the Dark Lord knows not. And either must die at the hands of the other for neither can live while the other survives. Sixteen years shall pass until a former enemy is made an ally. Putting behind their childish rivalry they will escape the manipulations of an old man. Four unlikely souls will help and together they will cause the downfall of the Dark Lord. The one with the Power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies.” Trelawney recited.

“Malfoy,” Harry said after a while. “It’s Malfoy, I always wondered why he never really put an effort into the fights we had unless there were other people around.”

“You’re right, he has already seen Albus. When his parents were killed by Voldemort he turned away and asked to help us.” Trelawney told him.


****End Flashback****


That conversation had added to the reasons why Harry didn’t trust Dumbledore. He had found out from Trelawney that Dumbledore had denied Draco request to help in the war, Dumbledore had told Draco that he wasn’t trustworthy and therefore couldn’t be used. To say that Harry was even more pissed was an even bigger understatement. He had gone looking for Draco the following day and he still laughed at the look on Draco’s face when they talked.


****Flashback****


Harry had been looking for Draco all day; it was a Saturday so they had no classes which left Harry to search the school and grounds for him. He finally found him sitting on a rock down near the Lake. Draco hadn’t picked a fight with Harry since his parent’s death.

Harry walked over to Draco and sat down next to him, they sat there in silence for a while until Draco broke the silence.

“What do you want Potter?”

“I heard you talked to Dumbledore,” Harry said to him.

“So?” was the reply from the upset boy.

“I also heard that he was an asshole and pretty much told you to get stuffed.”

“What are you on about Potter?” Draco asked as he finally turned to look at the boy.

“I found out what the prophecy was about that Voldemort wanted, only the one that Dumbledore told me wasn’t the right one.” Harry said, still not looking at him.

“Why are you telling me all this Potter?” Draco asked him.

“Because Draco, I believe that you will be a great help in the defeat of Voldemort.” Harry told him as he finally looked at Draco.

“You – you called me Draco.”

“That is your name isn’t it?” Harry replied with a barely noticeable smile on his lips.

Draco just stared at him as if he had grown another head, they had been fighting for years, something that Draco had been forced to do. And now Harry was asking him for help.

“You still haven’t told me what you want.” Draco told him.

“After I left Dumbledore’s office I came across Professor Trelawney, she’s the one who made the Prophecy and she told me that what Dumbledore told me was not the whole Prophecy. Then she told me the real one.”

“What was is?” Draco asked, now intrigued.

“The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches. Born to those who thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies. And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have Power the Dark Lord knows not. And either must die at the hands of the other for neither can live while the other survives. Sixteen years shall pass until a former enemy is made an ally. Putting behind their childish rivalry they will escape the manipulations of an old man. Four unlikely souls will help and together they will cause the downfall of the Dark Lord. The one with the Power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies.” Harry replayed to the now stunned Malfoy Heir.

“What does it mean?”

“It means that you are the boy it’s talking about. You’re the one destined to help me rid this world of the foulest evil it has ever known.” Harry told him.

The look on Draco’s face was priceless.


****End Flashback****


They had sat there on that rock for most of the day, by night fall a friendship was formed between the once enemy’s. They made plans to leave the Wizarding world to train; if they stayed then Dumbledore would take drastic measures to pit them against each other. This they had to make sure didn’t happen. With only a week left of school they had to act quickly, they organised for Draco to break Harry out of the Dursley’s and they would then leave to one of Harry’s properties left to him by his parents. Harry had sent a letter to Gringotts and requested to be emancipated; he was now legally an adult free from Dumbledore’s manipulation, Draco had done the same.

______________________________________________________________________


Harry was now sitting in his room half an hour before his birthday, waiting for Draco to turn up. As soon as Harry had gotten home, his uncle had beaten him because of the little reception that they received upon picking him up from the train station. Of course this was nothing unusual, it was just a different reason.

Harry had packed up all of his things after he had finished his chores, he didn’t mind about the beatings or the other things because he knew that he wouldn’t be around to suffer it anymore.

There were twenty minutes left until Draco’s arrival when a barn owl flew in through the open window, Harry took the letter from the owl and gave it a treat before it flew back out the window.

“Who could this be from?” Harry questioned out loud.

He opened it up and gasped at who it was from.


Dearest Harry,

If you have received this letter then we are not around any longer to explain this to you. We’re sorry that we aren’t with you any more but know that we both love you.

If we did this right, than this letter should have arrived twenty minutes to midnight, on the 30th of July, your sixteenth birthday. There are a few things that we must explain to you and it is of the utmost importance that this information does not venture to Dumbledore.

We’ll be blunt, as we haven’t much time before it happens.

You, Harry, are a Faye/Elf Hybrid, a rare kind of magical creature and a forbidden one to boot. You don’t look like one because of a glamour that has hidden what you truly look like from birth, so even we don’t know what you look like. We had to hide what you were because of what would have happened to you if any one should find out that your mother and I weren’t entirely human. The only people who knew of our heritages were Sirius, Remus, Lucius, Narcissa and Severus. Now I bet you are wondering what two Death Eaters and a Death Eaters wife are doing knowing about something that not even Dumbledore himself knows. Am I correct? Of course I am!! Well the answer to that is that we were all friends in school. Now I know that you don’t believe me because of how Severus has treated you. It’s simple really; I made him swear an oath that he would act that way. I couldn’t exactly have one of my best friends risk his life by befriending you. Now I know it may sound harsh, but the oath protected you as well.

Anyway, I’m sure Severus will explain it in full detail if you show him this letter and ask him to. He can be stubborn at times, so you’ll have to beg.

Now back to the situation at hand. You get your Faye blood from your mother and the Elf blood comes from me. My family have been the royal Elves for centuries, and if we are dead, than that leaves you as the last living royal Elf because the rest of my family are dead. I hope you understand and I also hope that you aren’t under Dumbledore’s manipulations. Just so you know, if you are looking for a place to stay, I have a home in Japan that no one knows about. It should be on the list with the other properties and only those with Potter blood can find its location.

Well, that’s all I can write my son, know that your mother and I love you dearly and we always will. Be safe and stay strong.

Your loving father.

And your mum.


Harry was crying by the time he finished the letter, he just sat there and held the letter in his hands. He didn’t even notice when Draco turned up at five minutes to midnight.

“Harry, what’s wrong?”

Harry turned around and passed the letter to Draco, Draco read and than gasped. He sat down heavily on the bed next to Harry and just stared at the letter in his hands.

“I never knew, when mum and dad told me that they were helping uncle Sev spy without Dumbledore’s knowledge I thought that that was as far as the charade went. I guess I was wrong.” Draco said as he finally broke the silence.

“When did your parents tell you this?” Harry asked his friend.

“When they told me about my heritage, I guess we’re both forbidden species.”

“What do you mean?”

“My father was a Veela, and my mother’s family had vampire blood in them. I was the unlucky one to get that blood in me. Vampires aren’t meant to mate with any other species but their own; my mother thought she was safe because no one in the family had shown any signs of having Vampire blood in them.” Draco explained.

“Damn.”

“You can say that again.”

“Damn.”

Both boy’s started laughing but were interrupted when a bright glow suddenly surrounded Harry. The entire room lit up and Draco had to cover his eyes.

“Cool.”

Draco took his hands from his eyes and just stared at his friend. He had changed a great deal, his hair had stayed black but it was now down to his mid back and it had red and silver streaks through it. His eyes were now green with purple and silver specks scattered through them, his ears had lengthened to a point. His finger nails had lengthened into claws and black feathered wings with a green and purple sheen through the feathers had sprouted out of his back. He had grown taller and had gained more muscle.

“Wow, that’s different.” Draco said.

“Come on, we gotta get out of here. I know Dumbledore had to of felt that power boost, the Order members will be swarming this place in minutes.” Harry said as he quickly stood up and put his shrunken trunk into his pocket.

Before they could leave, a figure busted down his bedroom door. Harry and Draco both pulled out their wands but lowered them slightly when they noticed it was Severus Snape.


“Go, get out of here before Dumbledore arrives.” The usually silent man said to them in a low hiss.

“Thanks uncle Sev, we owe you.” Draco said as he went to reach for the port key that Harry had just made.

“I’ll collect on it when you both get back, safely.”

“Count on.” Harry said as he looked the man in the eyes.

Severus gave a shaky smile and a small nod and then both boys disappeared, not to be seen in the Wizarding world for a long time.
