Harry Potter and the Prince of Slytherin 69 Vows.

"Care to explain?" Snape asked not even looking at Theodore.

"I can but I need you to make an unbreakable vow with me first," Draco said.

Snape looked at him for a while raising his eyebrow as Draco continued, "If it was something stupid, I wouldn't ask you to do it."

Snape nodded as he came forward.

The Unbreakable Vow is a type of binding magical contract casted between two parties kneeling or standing opposite each other and clasping each other's right hands. A third party must hold their wand, standing quite close to the pair holding hands, and place the tip of their wand onto the linked hands, acting as the witness. Then, the first will ask a certain number of vows of the other, whereupon each time the second accepts a term, a thin stream of fire will be emitted from the witness's wand, weaving around the hands of the pair taking the vows. Upon the vow being completed, should the one who accepted the terms break any of them, they die.

Snape and Draco clasped each other right hand as Theodore came forward with his wand.

"Do you Severus Snape vow to keep the information of what Draco Black's about to tell you a secret."

Snape looked deeply at Draco for a while as he said, "I do."

"Do you Severus Snape and Draco Black vow to not break the trust between you two."

Draco and Snape both replied at the same time. "I do."

A thin line of fire surrounded both their hands as it slowly disappeared.

"It better be good or else I will use you as my next potion ingredient," Snape said sneering.

After making an unbreakable vow between them, Draco shared the information about the philosopher stone and like expected Snape was very interested in it.

"I am amazed how you managed to get it," Snape said looking at the stone in his hands.

"Nicholas Flamel supposedly agreed to give it to me." Draco said shrugging his shoulders.

Snape decided to join in the fun as both of them agreed to start experiments with it starting next year.

As they got out of Snape's office, Theodore looked at Draco.

"Don't you want to sign a deal with me?" He asked.

"No, I have got something else in mind for us," Draco said handing out a book to Theodore. Theodore quickly started reading it and after an hour finally finished it.

"Are you sure?" He asked. "Blood pacts are more severe than the unbreakable vow."

"Didn't you wanted my trust badly?" Draco said. "I am giving it to you."

Theodore thought for a while and nodded. Since they were alone in their room no one was here to disturb them.

Both Draco and Theodore made a small cut in their hands with their wands and interlaced them. As they made their oath of never betraying each other and chanted the required mantra. Soon the two glowing drops of blood raised from their palms and mingled into one. A phial started to shape around it, enclosing the drop, signifying that the deal was struck.

Draco caught the phial in his hands as both of them looked at it. "So who's going to keep it?" he asked.

"I don't know." Theodore said shrugging his shoulders, "Does it even matter since its unbreakable."

Draco shrugged his shoulders, "Then I will keep it my case for now."

Draco felt a bit open for the first time like a burden had been lifted off from his shoulders, now he could discuss plans and start sharing some secrets freely now with Theodore as he had finally gained a true ally.

(Is it a bit gay??)

--------------------------------------------------

Fluffy, on the other hand, was another troublesome thing. First was to convince Hagrid and thankfully Dumbledore managed to do it. The second was to keep the dog itself inside the suitcase, Draco was running around the ground with the Fluffy chasing him wildly. Draco had a ball in his hand given to him by none other than Hagrid. After they managed to convince Hagrid, Dumbledore sent him to the edge of the forest to capture it in secret and now the Fluffy was chasing behind him wildly.

"You ready?" Draco called out to Theodore who was sitting there with the suitcase in his hands, wide open.

"What the hell did I get myself into?" Theodore mumbled to himself.

"Go, boy!" Draco said throwing the ball inside the suitcase and soon Fluffy dived inside the suitcase as Theodore closed it quickly.

"What the hell?" Theodore complained.

"We need to go in." Draco panted, "But after a while."

"How did you managed to keep him calm?" Theodore said scared of the dog. "No, the real question is, have you gone crazy? I am cool with the Murtlap and even the unicorn but this thing, what are you going to do with it."

"I want it to protect the phial and the stone when we aren't using it and many other things in case someone manages to break into my suitcase and it may be useful in some other way, you never know."

"How are you going to control it?"

"Fluffy is thankfully trained to follow orders," Draco said magically taking out a bright yellow ball which made a weird sound when squeaked, "The sound keeps him in check, so he won't attack anyone who is holding the ball making the sound and follow its orders to a certain extent."

"Great weakness," Theodore said sarcastically.

"Well, it's not every day that you run into a man with yellow balls which makes the same sound." Draco said. After a couple of minutes, both of them went inside the suitcase and tied up Fluffy to a chain in a very open space, outside a small house which holds a couple of Draco's precious things. Fluffy had enough space to move around but not to the point where he could escape.

----------------------------

Soon all, their wardrobes were empty, their trunks were packed, Neville's toad was found lurking in a corner of the toilets; notes were handed out to all students, warning them not to use magic over the holidays

"I always hope they'll forget to give us these," said Fred Weasley sadly.

Hagrid was there to take them down to the fleet of boats that sailed across the lake; they were boarding the Hogwarts Express; talking and laughing as the countryside became greener and tidier; eating Bettie Bott's Every Flavor Beans as they sped past Muggle towns; pulling off their wizard robes and putting on jackets and coats; pulling into platform nine and three-quarters at King's Cross Station.

It took quite a while for them all to get off the platform. A wizened old guard was up by the ticket barrier, letting them go through the gate in twos and threes so they didn't attract attention by all bursting out of a solid wall at once and alarming the Muggles.

"So do you still have the plan for Romania?" Pansy asked.

"I don't know." Draco said, "I will let you guys know if I have one."

"Do you plan to?" Theodore asked worried, after finding of Draco's new hobby of collecting animals he was really scared that he was going to collect Dragon's as well.

"I do plan too." Nodded Draco seriously nearly making Theodore faint.

"What are you two talking about?" Daphne said.

"Nothing really," Draco said, Pansy knew about the suitcase but it had been a long time since she had really entered it, Since it wasn't really important, she didn't put much thought into it. After school started, Draco didn't spend much time inside it so she couldn't care about the suitcase. As for Daphne, well she didn't know about the suitcase that much but had suspected something since he only carried the small suitcase with him every time.

"Bye, Draco!"

"See you, Nott!"

All of them said goodbyes to each other as they got out of the gateway together.

Suddenly they heard a voice, "There he is, Mom, there he is, look!"

It was Ginny Weasley, Ron's younger sister, but she was pointing at Harry.

"Harry Potter!" she squealed. "Look, Mom! I can see him."

Draco and Theodore looked at each other,

"Why is Weasley's sister kinda... cute?" Theodore said weirdly,

"I don't know." Draco said not really realizing that Ginny would be so cute, she was by far the most beautiful girl he had seen in school and that's saying something.

"Why can't I have a fangirl like that?" Theodore whispered, "Now even Potter has one and a pretty one at that."

"Hey! Mom isn't that Draco Black." Ginny suddenly said making both Theodore and Draco cough awkwardly.

Unlike Harry's excitement, she was looking at Draco with a mixture of emotions, maybe fear mixed with a bit of hatred and a slight bit of fangirl.

"Finding a fangirl for a dark lord is hard." Theodore said patting his shoulders.

"Che, your situation is worse than mine." Draco said, "Piss off."

"Be quiet, Ginny, and it's rude to point." Mrs. Weasley smiled down at them.

Draco awkwardly looked at her and nodded in greeting as she did the same. Then she started conversing with Harry and Ron.

"My dad's here." Theodore said, "Make sure to send me a letter."

Draco nodded then a few seconds later, Pansy's and Daphne's parent's walked in and they said their goodbyes and with a hug, they departed.

"Your parent's not arrived yet?" Draco walked up to Hermione and asked.

"Yes, and yours too?"

Draco nodded, "Make sure to write me some letters and not only about studies."

"What kind of letter do you want then?"

"Maybe a love letter." Draco joked making Hermione blush.

"Idiot don't say weird things." She said hitting Draco.

"Hey I am the next Dark lord, you need to show some respect." Draco grinned.

"Hmph! You already have people who show you respect why do you need another one?"

"Well, they aren't as cute as you. Ow-- okay sorry you aren't cute--- Ow!! what do you want from me?" Draco screamed in pain as Hermione kept pinching him.

"Don't joke around too much." Hermione said letting him go.

"Is that the order from the bet?" Draco asked.

"Don't you try to run away from it." Hermione said with a mean face, "If you do, I will not speak to you ever again."

"Sigh! Don't get too sensitive over everything." Draco said pinching Hermione's nose smiling. He looked around and saw his father getting out of his car as he quickly let go of Hermione as he pulled her into a quick hug. "See you." Draco said running away smiling.

Hermione whose parent's had also arrived saw it and looked at Hermione who was blushing deeply, playing with her hair.
