Amalgam

Summary:

After Voldemort falls, Harry and Draco return to Hogwarts to teach. When a metal wand and a student with no past put the school in danger of a vampire attack, it's up to Harry, Draco, and the rest of Hogwart's staff (new and old) to survive the day, save the school, solve a mystery, and get lost in all the sexual tension. (Like a Scooby-Doo episode--except with Parseltongue!)

**This is the first fic I ever wrote (and I've learned SO MUCH since then!). I believe it took nearly three years to complete (beginning in 2003). At the time this was written, the books were still coming out, so if people are dead or alive (who aren't supposed to be) just forgive me now! :)

Hint about the banners: The pics are actually close-ups of the Amalgam used in dentistry!

The concept: Everything happens all in one day. The first chapter is the last hour of the day, the second chapter is a flashback to the first hour and the rest will be the remaining hours. Any questions? heh.

I would love to read your comments and feedback. *glomp*

Amalgam \uh-MAL-guhm\, noun:

Amalgam
Part I

Harry knew he was far from sleep, and saw no point in keeping his eyes shut any longer. He rolled onto his back and stared at the fading shadows overhead. He was exhausted, achy and hungry for a good meal, but still, he couldn't force his body and mind to surrender to any of those worthy causes and pass out.

At least there were almost no dark thoughts, no nightmares, not even indigestion, although he made a mental note to avoid eating anything Fred and George sent him in the future. The last pound cake had left him singing in Italian for twenty four hours until Hermione sent an owl to the enterprising duo demanding a remedy. Harry loved the way she evoked results in others. Ron had his hands full with that one.

Harry rolled back over onto his side as quietly as possible. The weak, hazy light the new day had to offer, fell on the creature sleeping beside him, who managed to look exquisite even after the long night they had both been through. Harry often just watched in awe while Draco slept. He also loved to listen to the slow easy breathing that lulled him to sleep on many a night.

Draco took that moment to snort loudly, one pale hand stretching out and colliding with Harry's stomach. Harry struggled to keep from laughing, afraid he'd wake the angelic monster. Draco wasn't one for sudden awakenings, and would often murmur warnings in his sleep to anyone thinking of disturbing him. Some nights Harry would put them both to sleep while slowly running his fingers through Draco's hair when he allowed it. Harry hoped there would be many more of those nights in their future. He ran a hand over his own mess of hair, and returned softly onto his back, thinking about the past night's events.

He brought his hand across his chest, pausing on the place right above his heart. The skin still stung, but He forgot the pain quickly, remembering the important mark it would leave. He snuck a quick look back over at Draco, and smiled. Suddenly, he didn't care about sleeping anymore. Sure, he could dream, but his dreams really couldn't compete. He finally had what he wanted, needed.
