Angel
Disclaimer: I in no way own Harry Potter or Charmed. Harry Potter belongs to that fantastic lady…J.K. Rowling. Charmed belongs to Constance M. Burge and the WB (now CW). As for me…I'm just taking the characters out for a little joy ride and of course fun.
A/N: Inspirations come from the darndest places at times. Lately, I seem to be getting my inspirations for writing from listening to my CDs and tapes. The plot bunny continues to insist at coming during the wee hours of the morning when one is supposed to be sleeping. Title of this story and the inspiration comes from listening to Jon Secada's Angel. Another plot bunny involving Wyatt/Harry and Chris/Draco. For purposes of this story, Ginny was allowed to move up to 7th year and graduate a year early due to her outstanding performance on her O.W.L.s. A big thank you goes to Gayle for her betaing services. Without her, this story would not flow as well as it does.

A bright and clear morning found Draco Malfoy in the office of the condo that he shared with Harry Potter. He was looking at the photo taken of him, Harry , Ginny and Blaise in front of Hogwarts. It had been five years since that photo was taken. Who knew that in that span of time so much would change? The four of them were now living in San Francisco. Thanks to the fortune of Harry, Draco and Blaise, all four of them were free to pursue their passion in life. With a sigh, Draco put the picture back on the desk as Blaise walked into the room.
"Nervous, Drake?"
"Yeah Blaise, I am. Tonight is the unveiling of the song that Harry and I wrote. It's such a personal song that he and I almost want to just lock it in the safe and not let anyone else hear it."
"Come on, Drake…we all know that is one of the best collaborations you two have done. It speaks to the soul and is very moving. But that's not the real reason for your nervousness. So spill!"
Draco looked away before letting a big sigh go. He knew his best friend was right and that he deserved no less than the truth.
"Since Harry and I met Wyatt and Chris….the inspiration has been endless for writing songs. I was truthful when I said that this song is so personal. It's because of those two that Harry and I are finally able to be happy. They were so patient with waiting for us to tell them about our less then stellar past. We were so afraid that once we told them that they wouldn't want to have anything to do with us. Their reaction was quite the opposite of what we were expecting. Instead of being disgusted with us…they were extremely furious for us. Chris was so raging mad that he was ready to orb over to England to go rounds with Parkinson. Let's not even go into what Wyatt wanted to do to the Weasel and Granger."
"No we don't have to. It goes without saying that it definitely would not be a pretty sight at all. Still what's the nervousness about?" Blaise replied.
"I'm just afraid how Chris is going to react when he hears the song. You know he's an intensely private person. I mean come on…he's the best thing that has ever happened to me. Is the performance of this song going to mess things up for us?" said Draco.
"Draco…I don't think you're giving him enough credit. He loves you for you. Of course he and Wyatt are gonna be honored that you two wrote this song for them."
"Yeah…you're right. I'm just being stupid. Still it doesn't help that Father and Sev are going to be there along with Piper, Leo, Phoebe, Coop, Paige, and Henry."
"Drake, it's gonna be a night to remember. Now quit your worrying and let's get over to P3 so you can get ready."
Meanwhile, at P3 Harry and Ginny are having the same conversation.
"Gin, are we doing the right thing?" asked Harry who was nervously chewing his lips.
"Harry, it's going to be fine. Everyone is going to be floored with the new song you and Draco wrote. However, I sense that's not what has you bothered….so spill!"
"Damn! I hate it when you're so perceptive!" Harry replied chuckling.
"Yeah, that's one of the things you love about me." Ginny said smirking.
"Don't remind me. Anyways….you already know about Dray and I telling Wyatt and Chris about our dark past and their reaction to it."
"Yeah. I'd pay to see it happen. Especially the showdown with that idiot brother of mine and the bookworm."
"GINNY!!! Don't encourage them!" shrieked Harry.
"Kidding! Just kidding!"
"Sure you are, Gin. You know you'd be right there alongside them."
"Okay, so maybe I would. But you're trying to get off point here, mister," Ginny replied with a glare.
"Yeah…okay. I'm just nervous about how Wyatt is going to react to the song tonight. I mean come on…both he and Chris are going to hear in public how Draco and I feel about them. He's the best thing that has happened to me since all of us have been living here. I'm just afraid that this is going to mess things up."
"Now who's being the idiot? You're not giving Wyatt enough credit. All of us can see how crazy for you Wyatt is. You have what you always wanted, Harry. Someone to love you for you."
"But…."
"No buts, mister! Of course those two are gonna be flattered that you and Drake wrote the song for them."
"You're right, Gin. I'm just being a moron about nothing. Still…it doesn't help things that Lucius and Dad are going to be there along with Wyatt and Chris' family."
"Relax, will you?!? Everything's gonna be just fine and tonight's going to be one memorable evening. Now let's finish up with checking things out so you can go backstage and get ready. Blaise and Draco are going to be here soon," Ginny said, pushing Harry back to the stage.
"Yes mother," Harry replied.
"HARRY!!!" Ginny shrieked
Soon, laughter could be heard.
Evening approached and a long line could be seen outside of P3. Inside, Piper was running around like a chicken with its head chopped off.
"Wasn't expecting this big of a turnout for Harry and Draco's performance tonight. Hope we don't run out of anything," Piper said.
"Honey, it's going to be fine. Nothing bad is going to happen. Now chill!" replied Paige.
"Don't be telling me to chill, missy! It's not everyday that a new song is unveiled at P3. I just want everything to be perfect for them tonight."
"Sweetie, Paige is right. Nothing bad is going to happen. You know that both Harry and Draco have been here since late afternoon, checking everything out. They didn't find anything wrong. They've also done several runs with no hitch," Phoebe said.
"Yeah but…."
"LEO!!! Get over here and calm your wife down!" Paige yelled.
Leo came over. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"She is stressing about tonight and is starting to drive me and Pheebs up the wall with her worries," Paige replied, pointing at Piper.
"Piper…everything's going to be okay. It even looks like it's going to be a big moneymaker of a night," Leo said, putting his arm around his wife's waist and pulling her in close.
"Yeah okay…" Piper replied.
At that point, they see Wyatt and Chris walking into the club along with Lucius and Severus. After greetings go all around, they go to sat at the Halliwell's private table.
"Nervous, Luc?" Severus asked his husband.
"Yeah I am a bit. This is the first time we've seen those two perform. Draco did tell me that they were doing a new song tonight. Just want it to go well for them." Lucius replied.
"Hmmm, Harry mentioned as much. Let's just enjoy the evening and be there for our sons."
Soon, they were caught up in conversation with their son's boyfriend's family. They were soon joined by Ginny and Blaise who came from backstage.
Piper made her way to the stage to get the event of the evening started.
"Hello everyone!! Are you all having a good time?" she asked the crowd
She chuckled as the crowd responded enthusiastically.
"Okay, let's get the show going! P3 is proud and very privileged to present Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy who are here to perform for us tonight. This promises to be a great show so everyone enjoy! Now here are Harry and Draco!"
Harry and Draco came on stage and gave Piper a hug. She then went back to the table to sit with the rest of the family.
"Thanks, Piper, for having us here! Everyone ready for a great time tonight?" Harry said as Draco made his way back to the band.
The crowd roared their approval.
Soon the show started and everyone was having a fantastic time.
After the latest song was finished being performed, Draco took the mike.
"We all having fun?"
The crowd went wild with their cheering. Draco chuckled.
"Tonight, we've got a special treat for all of you. Tonight, for our final song, all of you will be hearing for the very first time the newest song to be written by Harry and me. This song is dedicated to Harry's and my personal angels, Wyatt and Chris Halliwell. So grab the one you love…and hit the dance floor."
Draco then handed the mike back over to Harry and made his way back to the band area. Ginny and Blaise made their way to the dance floor. Soon they're followed by Phoebe and Coop, along with Paige and Henry. Wyatt and Chris looked on, shocked that Harry and Draco would write a song for them.
Soon the music began and Harry started to sing.
I, I can't read the future
But I still wanna hold you close
Right now, I need that from you
So give me the morning
Sharing another day with you
Is all I want to know
And baby I, I've tried to forget you
But the light of your eyes
Still shines, you shine like an angel
A spirit that won't let me go
And I, I didn't wanna tell you
Things I didn't wanna know myself
I was afraid to show
But you, you gave me a reason
A reason to face the truth, oh yes you did
To face the truth, face the truth
Face the truth
And Baby I, I've tried to forget you
But the light of your eyes
Still shines, you shine like an angel
A spirit that won't let me go
Won't let me go, let go of my heart
And Baby I, I've tried to forget you
But the light of your eyes
Still shines, you shine like an angel
A spirit that won't let me go
Let me go…..
Won't let me go.
As the song ended, Piper looked over to see tears rolling down her sons' faces. She then looked towards the stage and saw the same thing with Harry and Draco. She sensed that an unanswered question had been answered for her boys and that it was a good thing. Her suspicion is soon confirmed when Severus spoke.
"They have finally let the walls down and have let love back in," he said
"Yes they have, and it's all thanks to these two fine gentlemen here," Lucius replied, nodding towards Wyatt and Chris.
Blaise, Ginny, Phoebe, Coop, Paige and Henry came back to the table in time to hear Lucius' remark.
"That's for sure. There's a lightness to them again that had been missing for so long," Blaise said.
"Also when they smile now, it reaches all the way to their eyes. Whereas before, it really didn't," Ginny replied.
"That was such a moving song. You could feel the tremendous amount of love in it as Harry sang and Draco played along with the band," Phoebe said, with Coop nodding his head in agreement.
Wyatt and Chris were just looking at each other and then back to the stage where Harry and Draco had been.
Finally breaking out of the daze, Wyatt asked, "They really truly do love us?"
"Yes Wyatt, they do. You and Chris are the reason they're finally able to be happy. It's evident to see that you love them for who they are," Ginny said.
"Yeah, it's clear you see them as real people. Not the Boy Who Lived nor the reformed Deatheater. You allow them to be who they want to be. They couldn't find that back in England," Blaise said.
"I am forever thankful for what the two of you have been able to do for my son and Harry. It is clear that they love you and you love them," Lucius replied.
Wyatt and Chris just nodded, still comprehending the fact that Harry and Draco loved them as well.
Soon, Harry and Draco were at the table after changing their clothes. They sat down next to their respective boyfriends.
Before either one could ask a question or say anything, they were pulled into a passionate kiss by their boyfriend. Rest of the family looked on with a smile.
"Well, I take it you liked the song?" Harry finally asked when air became an issue. Rest of the table laughed as Wyatt and Chris blushed deeply.
"Yes…and so you know I love you too. Now and forever," Wyatt said looking at Harry.
"Oh yeah. I love you so much Draco. Now and forever," Chris said looking at Draco.
Harry and Draco pulled Wyatt and Chris back into another kiss.
Later, the four lovers were back at Harry and Draco's place sitting on the couch in front of the lit fireplace. Harry was cuddled into Wyatt while Draco was cuddled with Chris. Harry and Draco took a look at each other. No words needed to be spoken as they knew what the other was thinking. Both had found their Angel.
