Harry sat in the cavern had heard the growl and gently placing the glass case on the ground to keep it safe he moved towards the edge of the waterfall, to peer around the falling water at the clearing beyond, he gasped in shock at seeing his family and Draco trapped beneath glowing golden nets, he saw Victor stood there as well but sadly the roaring of the waterfall prevented him from hearing what he was saying, so slowly edging down the small rocky path beside him he moved to hide behind a small clump of bushes closer to those in the clearing and behind Victor and his two helpers
Crouching down he was finally able to make out what Victor was saying
". . . I'll tell them that you were the one who hurt him and they'll heal him and make him suitable to bear my children, which he will do willingly by that point, but first I'm going to kill you, can't have him hoping you'll save him can I?" he grinned maliciously, Harry's anger surged forward upon hearing those words and as Victor raised his wand to point at Draco his anger helped his magic release
With a bellow of rage he allowed his magic to consume him and give him the animagi form he was born with, one that showed his inner courage, loyalty and rage, a dragon of the deepest black rose from behind the bushes and surged into the clearing
Victor had frozen half way through his spell at the sound of the roar and turned screamed in fright at the sight of a large black dragon rushing towards him, finding his feet he pushed Ron in front of himself as he scrambled to the edge of the clearing in terror, Hermione quickly following, Ron having fallen to his feet merely curled into a ball as Harry moved over and past him to Draco's side
Harry's slitted green eyes gazed down at Draco urgently, dipping his head he gently rasped the golden net between his teeth before tearing it apart, the spells keeping it together breaking as he pulled, the same nets around his family failing as well since the magic between the nets was linked
Draco returned to his human form as he rose to his feet while gazing at the dragon before him, eyes widening in disbelief as the dragon returned to the form of one Harry Potter before his eyes, but before anyone could say anything a single shout rose above the sound of the nearby waterfall
"Sectumsempra!" Draco, eyes wide turned to see the greenish white spell shooting towards him and Harry, with a cry he lashed out and sent Harry to the ground while planting himself firmly in the path of the spell
With a cry of pain it hit, sending him flying across the clearing, his once pristine white shirt slowly staining red as slashes spread across his torso and arms, a disconcerting pool of red blood forming beneath him as he gasped for breath through his cries of pain
Harry rolled as he hit the ground and looked up in time to see Draco get hit, a small cry left his lips as Draco landed and he scrambled to Draco's side, tears slowly tracking down his face
"No, no, Draco you can't die, please, please no, DRACO!" he cried in anguish, his magic circling around him and he gently lifted Draco's head into his lap
And with his cry, something in the forest awoke, the animagi that had gone into hiding awoke at the cry of anguish given by a youngling of their race, all manners of creatures were called with that one cry and come they did
As Harry sat rocking Draco's head in his lap, crying he didn't notice the growing amount of creatures converging around the clearing, his family did and they huddled closer to Harry in an attempt to comfort him while Lily turned back to her human form and fixed the frozen Victor with a glare worthy of death
"Victor Krum, how you grew to be the cruel boy you are today I will never know, but today you have become a man I hope the world never see's, I call upon you my brothers and sisters to listen to what this man has done. He has harmed our youngling, our first youngling in many years, he raped him, defiled him, stabbed him and has now attempted to take from him that which he cherished most, this man Victor has broken all of our laws ten times over and as such deserves the rightful punishment, entrapment in the well of despair, there he will suffer all he has done to others and even when he repents he will not be allowed respite, he will stay there until the end of his days for the crimes he has committed, what say you Animagi of this land! What say you!" she called, her own magic whirling around her as she spoke to her long lost brethren
All around the clearing a howl of agreement rose, rising above the sound of the crashing waterfall behind them, Victor screamed in terror as he was set upon by the animagi around him, dragging him deeper into the forest until his screams could no longer be heard, Hermione and Ron running from the clearing also, fearful of what Lily would do to them
Meanwhile Draco fought against the pain to open his eyes enough to see Harry, and raising a hand he gently placed it on the crying boys face
" You . . . you left the cavern, " he gasped in pain, Harry opened his eyes and smiled softly
"Of course I did, I couldn't let you guys have all the fun, plus you needed my help . . . oh this is all my fault," he whispered back through his tears
" Maybe it's better . . . it's better this way . . . " Draco started but was stopped by Harry's hand covering his lips gently
"Don't talk like that, you'll be alright, we're together now everything's going to be alright you'll see," Harry said while running his finger through Draco's hair, Draco smiled and the hand he had resting on Harry's cheek gently stroked it for a second
" At least I get to see you, one last time, " he sighed as he slowly succumbed to the pain and darkness invading his vision, his hand slipping to fall by his side as he fell unconscious
Harry's eyes widened in horror as he gently lowered Draco's head off his lap and moved to his side
"No, no . . . please, please, please don't leave me . . ." he cried, gently grasping at Draco's shirt as fresh tears tracked down his face. "I love you," he gasped
As those words left his lips the rose in the glass case he had left in the cavern lost its last petal, which fell to the bottom of the case, but unlike its brethren it didn't fall to ash it solidified into silver as the stem of the rose too became ash, Severus, Minerva and Flitwick watched it sadly, their spectral forms not allowed to pass beyond the falling waters which signified the end of the Malfoy lands
HXDXHXDXHXDXHXDXHXDXHXDXHXD
While Harry cried the skies had darkened as if sensing his sorrow, letting forth a torrent of rain, lightning striking all around them and the winds fiercely tearing through the trees, forcing Lily and the other three to huddle together to prevent themselves from being blown away, and as the last petal had fallen a giant bolt of lightning had struck the topmost tower of the Malfoy Castle
The strike had forced the tower to collapse and as it fell the spells placed upon the castle and it inhabitants failed as well, Draco glowed softly as the downy fur covering him vanished, his silver ears and tail disappearing too, leaving him completely human beneath Harry's sobbing figure, inside the waterfall Minerva and Flitwick gasped in shock as they both watched Snape seemingly solidify before their eyes, turning from the ever present silvery colour to his normal black attire, and glancing down at themselves they saw that they too were once again solid
Harry was brought back to the present when he felt himself being moved from Draco
"No, please!" he cried in desperation
"Hush boy, let me see him," a deep voice said, turning Harry gazed into the face of one Severus Snape and could only nod in disbelief, watching seemingly in slow motion as a wand was pulled from deep within his sleeve and waved over Draco's body repeatedly, allowing the exhaustion of using his magic catch up to him he too fell unconscious

6 Months later
HXDXHXDXHXDXHXDXHXDXHXDXHXD
A lone grave stone stood within the ground of what was now called Malfoy Manor, the storm six months previously had resulted in a need for a redesign of the place, the grounds filled with trees with gold and silver blossoms and flowers of varying colours and breeds, a lightly tanned hand reached down to replace the silver flowers on the grave
Harry knelt beside the grave and gazed at the words engraved there sadly, he knelt there for a while before footsteps sounded behind him so with a sigh he stood and turned only to smiled
"Visiting my mother Dragon?" a smug voice asked, Harry smiled and moved to hug the man before him round the waist
"Well in the end she did help us, without her we wouldn't be here today," Harry grinned, emerald green eyes looking up into the smouldering grey eyes of his fiancé, looking back at the grave they both gave a small sigh
'Here lies Narcissa Malfoy, beloved mother and saviour, may she rest in peace'
"Hmm, true I wish she could be here today, I never imagined she'd be gone, even when I was the Beast Severus kept me updated on how she was doing since she couldn't visit me," Draco sighed resting his head atop Harry's as they continued to gaze at the grave
"What did you come out to find me for my little Ferr..."
"Don't finish that sentence, its bad enough that you got the animagi of my namesake while I'm stuck as a bloody white ferret than you calling me Ferret," he huffed, "And your mother wants you, something about we're late for the wedding, the guests are all here but you were missing," Draco admonished while turning and beginning to walk back to the castle
"Oh dear was that today? Totally slipped my mind dear," Harry said sarcastically while smiling to show he was only joking
"Oh haha, your mother nearly killed me trying to find you, I came out here to escape her only to find you . . . oh look and here she come," he said smugly, starting to move his arm he was stopped by a wide eyed Harry clinging to it
"Don't you dare leave me alone with her, she may be my mother but she's gone insane, she's trying to get me to wear a dress for this wedding," Harry hissed
Draco smiled and rewrapped his arm around Harry's shoulder giving him a light kiss on the lips, "Alright lets go convince her otherwise, but remember you owe me," he chuckled finally happy
And with those words they continued to head towards the castle, where friends and family waited for them to arrive as today was the day of their wedding

Victor had never been found and with him gone Ronald was set to take his place in the village, he was currently dating at least three women but couldn't care less, also Vernon Dursley had been found guilty of child abuse and was serving time in the towns prison while his wife and son lived happily in Malfoy Manor with their family, Godric Hollow was given to the town as a school house and that as they say is where everyone lives happily ever after
