Harden sits on a leather couch in the slytherin common room,not being able to sleep.
He's noticed the headmaster watching him,seeming to know something he doesn't. His mind runs through what Harry said about the old man having a plan to get him away from his pack.
He lets out a groan. Why couldn't the Potters just fucking leave him alone? If it wasn't for then then the headmaster wouldn't have some stupid plan to get him away from his pack.
He burrys his head into his hands and let out a small whine. He misses his pack and now with the old man trying to separate them from him makes him really angry and worried
His head snaps to the side and he lets out a growl when someone sits next to him but stops when he sees his mate
"Sorry Draco" Harden says softly as he noticed his Mate flinch
"It's alright Harden,why aren't you in bed? It's 4 in the morning" Draco says to the tired looking boy next to him
"Just couldn't sleep" Harden says with a small shrug and tiredly leans back into the couch
"Are you alright? You seem...stressed" Draco ask worriedly. He can see how tense the boy was and how his face didn't have it's normal silly smile.
"Yeah everything fine I just miss my pack" Harden says with a frown. He still won't be able to see them until a couple weeks.
"pack? Does that mean you and your family can actually turn into wolves?" Draco ask curiously. He's heard the rumors about the Royals being able to turn into full wolves but there were no pictures to prove it.
"I can,I'm actually the alpha but since the rest of my family found their mates they can't turn anymore" Harden says with a small smile. He loves being his packs alpha and the moon god.
"Can I see your wolf?" Draco ask nervously. He doesn't want to make Harden any more stressed or make him angry.
"Of course,just don't freak out" Harden tells his mate. Usually when someone sees his wolf they get scared and intimidated
When Draco gives him a nod he shifts into his black wolf and lays down on the ground. He doesn't want his mate intimidated by him.
"Woah" Draco says with an awed expression. Hardens even beautiful in his wolf form. He walks closer to the wolf and holds his hand out and smiles brightly when Harden presses his head against his palm. He runs his fingers through Hardens soft black fur as he walks around him,examining just how big he really is. When he's half way down Hardens side he let out a surprised yelp when Harden suddenly flips onto his back.
"Really?" Draco ask amused and lets out a laugh when Harden nods his head like a cartoon character. Draco scratches Hardens stomach for a couple minutes before stopping,letting out a snort at Hardens whine of protest
"As much as I love your wolf,we need sleep" Draco says. He's getting tired and he knows Hardens tired as well and he will not allow the boy to stay up stressed all night.
Harden whines but turns back into his 'human' form and sends Draco a pout
"Harden we both know you need sleep and I don't think your pack would like to know your loosing sleep because of them" Draco points out
"Fine" Harden says with a sigh and allows Draco to lead him to the dorms
Draco leads Harden to his bed and watches with soft eyes as Harden curls up under his covers,hugging one of his extra pillows and instantly falls asleep.
Draco sighs and lays in his bed. He can't believe how much hes fallen for Harden in just the little time he's known him.
Draco closes his eyes and fall into a blissful dream about a certain silver eyed boy.
A couple hours later Draco wakes up and sees all the beds empty accept one. He fondly rolls his eyes as he notices half of Hardens body hanging off the bed and his blankets tangled around his legs. He slightly blushes as he realizes Harden doesn't have a shirt on
He quietly gets out of bed and doesn't bother waking up the silver eyed boy since it's Saturday and he wants to talk to his godfather.
He gets ready and goes to the common room telling the other Slytherins his plan and they agree to not wake Harden up.
Draco makes his way to his godfathers champers and says the password before walking in.
"Sev!" He yells when he doesn't see his godfather anywhere in sight
Severus looks up from his potion when he hears his godsons yell. He makes his way to the living room,knowing his godson wouldn't leave from there unless Severus told him he could
"What are you doing here Draco?" Severus questions confused. They usually plan their meeting days.
"I uhm need help with something" Draco says with a shy smile
Severus looks at his godson with an even more confused expression. He's known his godson all his life and not once has he been shy about something
"Hardens been stressed lately and some nights he has trouble sleeping and singing and playing the piano help him calm down and help him think better so I want to set a piano and microphone somewhere in the common room" Draco says with a small blush as he looks at his godfather with pleading eyes
"Of course Draco,you head back to the common room and make room in a corner while I go buy everything" Severus says with a small smile. If one of his snakes need help,he'd do anything to help them and Harden has proved he's all Royal with no ounce of Potter in him.
Severus chuckles when his godson gives him a hug and happily runs out the door. He doesn't know whats going on with Harden and his godson but he has a feeling Harden would never let anyone he cares about get hurt and from what Severus has seen, Harden cares a lot about Draco.
When he enters the common room he tells everyone in the common room what Severus said and they all move stuff around until they make a big space in the corner closest to the front.
30 minutes later Severus walks in and takes out a shrunken piano and microphone set up and sets the piano against the corner with the microphone on a stand next to it before he changes them back to their normal sizes.
"Who's going to wake him up?" Blaise questions nervously
Everyone looks at Draco and he looks at them betrayed
"Why me?!" Draco ask with a small pout
"Because your the only one he's not mean to. Last time he growled at me,he tried to bite Theo,and he's nearly punched the other boys" Blaise tells his friend
"Bu-" Draco starts with a small frown. No one likes waking Harden up.
"GO!" All the boys in the common room yell and let out small laughs when Draco stomps up the stairs
"What was that about?" Severus questions his snakes in amusement
"It's nearly impossible to wake Harden up and when we do everyone accept Draco usually gets growled at,hit,or nearly losses a hand" Blaise explains
Severus raises an eyebrow but doesn't ask anything else.
Everyone looks towards the stairs when they hear a scream and loud footsteps.
Draco runs in and hides behind Severus,causing the man to look at him in confusion before he sees a shirtless Harden covered in water
Harden looks around for his mate and when he spots him behind Severus he lets out a growl and slowly walks towards him before he spots the piano and microphone.
He looks at them with a confused head tilt and turns back to Severus,looking at him in confusion
"Those weren't always there right?" Harden ask. He knows he can be oblivious to his surroundings sometimes but he's pretty sure he would of noticed a piano and microphone being in the common room
"No Mr.Royal,they were not but Mr.Malfoy here thought they should be added and just as long as you actually use them I have no problem with them being here" Severus explains as he steps to the side so Harden can see Draco
Harden stares at his mate with love filled eyes before he rushes towards him and pulls him into a big hug
"Thank you" Harden whispers softly into his mates ear causing Draco to smile brightly
"Thank you too Sev,there both great" Harden says as he inspects the piano and microphone after letting go of the now wet Draco
"Well why don't you show us how well they work?" Severus says with a small smile. He's never heard the boy play or sing so he's taking this as his chance to finally hear the boys voice.
"N-now?" Harden ask with wide eyes. He's never sang infront of so many people before.
"You have an amazing voice Harden so you have nothing to worry about and I know the other Slytherins will love it" Draco tells the silver eyed boy reassuringly
"Okay" Harden says nervously before sitting down on the piano bench and making sure the microphone was close enough to hear him. He takes a deep breath before starting.
When he's done he opens his eyes and blushes when everyone starts clapping and whistling
"I'm glad I agreed to do this Mr.Royal,your truly do have a talented voice" Severus tells the young boy with a small smile
Harden smiles brightly at the man before pulling him into a hug
"Thank you Sev,this means a lot to me" Harden says truthfully. It really does mean a lot to him. He was felling so worried and stressed lately and this helped him a lot.
"It was my pleasure Harden,I'm just glad I could help Slytherin's king" Severus tells the boy with a small smile as he softly hugs the boy back. After realizing Harden was no where near being a Potter he's come to know the boy better and he's glad to have someone like Harden in his life. He started caring about Harden in almost a fatherly way.
Harden lets out a laugh and pulls away,giving the man one last smile before he goes and sits next to his mate on the couch,setting his head on his lap.
Draco smiles down at the silver eyed boy that he's come to love in just the little time he's known him. He runs his fingers through Hardens hair and can't help but think it's just as soft as his fur. He watches as Hardens nose cutely crinkles when he laughs at something Blaise says and how he actually seems interested in what Pansy has to say even if she's talking about the latest makeup product.
He loves how Harden seems to truly care about every single Slytherin and trys to make everyone feel involved in the conversation. He loves how Harden seems to have the brightest smile and softest eyes. He loves how Harden looks like he can tear his enemy's apart without mercy but also have one of the biggest and kindest hearts hearts known to man. He loves how Harden always sleeps with his shirt off and how he always wakes up to Harden laying in the weirdest position on his bed. He loves how Harden doesn't take his anger out on those who don't deserve it and he loves how Harden respects everyone and treats everyone the same. He loves the powerful and scary side of Harden just as much as he loves the sweet and childish side of him. He loves Hardens bright smile. He loves Harden silver eyes that always reminds him of the moon. He loves Hardens soft hair thats the blackest color he's ever seen. He's in love with every little thing about Harden.
He's falling for a boy who can turn into a 12ft and 5in wolf and he doesn't even mind.
