Harry sighed. He was supposed to have his lesson with Snape tonight but Dumbledore sent him a message at lunch telling him it would be in hisoffice .
"You nervous Harry?" Ron watched him put down his fork. "I thought the lessons were helping."
Hermione rolled her eyes. "Ron, they are meeting in the Headmaster's office. That's not normal." She smiled at Harry. "I'm sure it will befine Harry."
Harry shrugged. "I think something has happened. I'm going to get my cloak just in case though." He stood up and turned to them. "I will see you guys later." He headed to his dorm to retrieve his cloak and then hurried to the Headmaster's office. When he arrived,Severus was just stepping past the gargoyle. "Sir."
"Mr.Potter." Severus waited until they were in the office before pulling an old book from his robes. "Do you know anything about your bloodlines Potter?"
Harry shook his head. "Not really Sir. Only that my dad was a pureblood and my mom was muggleborn." He caught a worried look from Snape andDumbledore. "Why?"
"My boy, it appears that your mother's family was not entirely muggle." Dumbledore took the book from Severus. "Professor Snape found this record book this past summer. It is a family record book that has some very interesting information that could change the lives and outcomes of our war against the Dark Lord." Dumbledore motioned to the book. "Severus will help you go through the book but I believe a few other students need to be informed too."
"Yes Albus, there are a few others." Snape frowned. "However, I will deal with them." He turned to see Harry reading a particular page."I need your vow that when the time comes, you will be open minded when they come to speak to you Harry. "
Harry looked at him in confusion and shock. Snape had just called him by his name. "I don't understand."
Snape sighed. "Read that book. You will understand then. And when in private, call me Severus." He smirked at the boy. "After all, we will be working together more after you read that. Miss Granger and Mr. Weasley can read it too. Just nobody else."
"Yes Sir." Harry grinned. "Call me Harry then."
Severus nodded and looked at his watch. "Now, our time is almost up but you are welcome to join me for my next lesson. You will not like who it is with but if you can be cordial enough, I will allow you to participate."
Harry thought about it. It had to be someone he didn't like. "I promise." He stood up with Snape and nodded to Dumbledore. "Goodnight sir." The headmaster nodded as they left. "Can I ask who it is?"
Severus smirked. "Draco Malfoy." When Harry frowned, he stopped and turned the boy to look at him. "Draco is not his father. All I am asking you right now is to just listen and be cordial."
Harry nodded. "I can do that." He followed Snape through the halls and into his office. They had just sat down when there was a knock on thedoor. The door opened to reveal Draco's face.
"Severus, we need help." Draco stepped in quickly and closed the door behind him. He froze when he saw Harry. "What are you doing here?"
"Mr.Potter is here for the same reason you are. He has agreed to becordial and listen." Snape motioned to the chair next to Harry. "What was it you needed?"
"He's trying to recruit students." Draco frowned. "Pansy and Blaise both got letters from their fathers this morning. They don't want to."
"When?" Snape was scribbling down information on a piece of parchment.
"Christmas." Draco turned to Harry. "I know we have had our differences but I would like to rectify that. I don't want to follow in my father'sfootsteps. Can you and your army help us?"
Harry nodded. "I don't fully understand what all is going on here but if you honestly want our help, I will make sure that you are heard at our next meeting."
"Thank you." Draco held out a hand. "Shall we start over?"
Harry smiled and shook his hand. "Of course."
"Now that we have that settled, let us begin." Snape stood up and pulled out his wand.
The next evening, Harry pulled out his coin and cast the spell to informthe DA of an impromptu meeting the following afternoon. He had just finished explaining it to Hermione and Ron. "Ron, are you sure you can be cordial long enough?"
"I may not like Malfoy, but I read that book. I know what's at stake. I promise I will be cordial." Ron smiled at his friend. "I also told Ginny to as well."
"Good." Hermione smiled. "I did some digging and found a few new charms we can try as well tomorrow."
"I sent Draco a note to have them meet us there before it starts." Harry smirked at them. "He would most likely be hexed otherwise."
"Are you sure Snape is only teaching you occlumency?" Hermione laughed when he raised an eyebrow in confusion. "You seem to have picked up a few of his habits."
"Not funny." Harry looked down at the book and sighed. "I am supposed to go to Snape's office tonight to go over a few things in here."
"I don't understand all of it but from what I do understand, you may have another vault at Gringott's." Ron jumped as a note appeared in front of them with Harry's name on it.
Harry read it and frowned. "I have to go see Dumbledore in the infirmary with the book." He stood up and grabbed his things. "I will see you later." He quickly headed to the infirmary and was surprised to see Snape there. They were waiting for him next to an empty cot.
"There you are my boy. Have a seat." Dumbledore motioned to the empty cot. "Professor Snape has a potion for you to take. It has to do with what is in this book." He took the book and placed it on the table next to them.
Snape handed Harry a small vial. "Clear your mind and drink. Then lie down."
"What will this do?" Harry cleared his mind and did as told. "How long before it takes effect?"
"This will reveal every bloodline running through your veins." He opened the book to the first blank page. "If your lineage is in here, your name will be added and a list of those lines will be listed under it. It shouldn't take very long."
Harry quickly drifted off to sleep. As soon as he did, his name appeared on the blank page. Snape frowned as he watched the list of bloodlines appear, along with notes on how he was related to those bloodlines. "This is both good and bad Albus. Very interesting." His eyes widened as some older and more powerful bloodlines appeared. "Good god, this is not good at all!" He pointed to a few select names. "If he gets any wind of this, Harry will be in more danger than he can defend from."
Albus nodded. "It is very interesting indeed. I will do some research of my own but I think you should do some searching in the restricted section about some of these names. He may be waking up soon. Shall we say my office after lunch tomorrow?"
Severus nodded as the boy sat up. "I will be there Albus. Mr. Potter." He nodded to the boy and headed out. When he arrived at the headmaster's office the following afternoon, he was a little worried. "Albus, we have a few problems." He set two books down on the man's desk. "There are some very old bloodlines listed."
Harry frowned as the headmaster opened the books. "What does that mean sir?" He looked up at the potions master and saw how pale he was. "Are you ok sir? You look about to pass out."
Severus smiled weakly. "I will be fine Potter. As for what this means, your mother was not who we thought she was. Her family is from a very old line that was believed to have died off." He motioned to the second book he brought. "This is my family history. We have a common ancestor."
Harry looked at him in shock. "We do? How? Who?"
Severus shook his head. "From what I found, your mother's ancestor left the wizarding world due to an argument. A spell was cast to render any children and future generations as squibs. The spell could only be broken by someone from your side apologizing in a certain way to someone from my side. Apparently that happened because your mom was born with powers."
"Ok, I can understand that." Harry smiled up at him. "So what does that make us then to each other?"
"Cousins." Severus smiled again. "As a blood relative, I can take guardianship of you from your aunt. The downside of that would be if the dark lord were to find out."
Albus sighed and slid Harry's book over to him. "Your other bloodlines also present a problem Harry." He smiled when the boy's eyes widened at one of the first names. "Yes, you are related to Merlin himself."
"But aren't you related?" Harry looked up at him in confusion. "Does that mean we are related as well?'
"I am related to a cousin of Merlin's. You however are related to him." Dumbledore smiled at the boy. "You are also descended from all four of the founders. As such, this school and its grounds are your property once you claim your lordships. If I remember correctly, you are the only one with the blood of all four."
"But what about him? He's the Heir of Slytherin isn't he?" Harry sat down.
Severus smirked. "As descendent of Merlin and the four founders, you are more powerful than he is. He doesn't know this. The Malfoy's have a secret library that he knows nothing about and there is a book there that can help you with your bloodlines. With a drop or two of your blood, you could help them redo their wards to keep him out."
Harry thought it over as they watched. "Alright, I will do it. Let me know when." He smiled at the two men. "One thing though. If I am as powerful as you say, would I be able to disconnect or alter your dark mark?"
Severus frowned at him. "I didn't think it could be altered or removed but if you are more powerful than he is, it could be possible. You would want to try that though?"
Harry shrugged and smiled. "Of course! You are family. I protect my family. Well, those that deserve it." He looked up at him. "We can at least try, I don't know how it was for you to receive it but I am willing to bet it was painful. It will probably be painful to alter as well."
Severus nodded. "I was but I am sure I can manage." He was shocked when the boy gave him a hug. "What was that for?"
"Because I wasn't sure if you would let me. So I took a chance." Harry smirked up at him. "I may not get a second chance to."
"Just don't get used to it." Severus smirked at him and picked up his book. "I suggest you get to your meeting. Don't forget your cloak."
"Yes sir!" He grinned as the man left and turned to the headmaster. "Bye sir." He grabbed his book and headed out.
Later in the room of Requirement, Draco sighed. The members of the DA glared at him as they entered. "Are you sure about this Potter?"
"Yes, they won't attack." Harry smiled as Severus snuck in and moved to the shadows. "Before we begin, I need to say something. I want you to listen to Draco. I have already discussed things with him and I promised you would all hear him out. Give him a chance. If you cannot do so, then I will ask you to turn in your coin and leave. This is not negotiable."
When nobody came forward, Draco nodded. "Thanks Harry. Now, what I am about to tell you can never be discussed outside of this room or group." He went on to tell them everything he had told Snape. After he was done, we was surprised by Ginny stepping forward.
"How do we know it's not a trick? What proof do we have?" She looked over at Harry and Hermione.
Ron shocked them all by stepping forward and putting a hand on Draco's shoulder. "Believe me when I say this. There are things we can't talk about with you guys but trust me when I say that this is all true and I stand behind Harry on this one."
Ginny nodded and held out a hand to Draco. "If Ron can change his mind that fast then I know it is something big. "Welcome Draco."
Draco shook her hand and smiled. "Thanks. I will bring the others next time." He nodded as the others welcomed him.
Harry smiled at the group. "Now, I have a new skill for you guys to learn. Professor Snape and I have been working on it all month." He smirked when they jumped at the sight of the man walking from the shadowed corner. "Before anyone asks, you CAN trust him. I trust him with my life. He's the reason I am still alive."
Severus nodded. "Thank you Mr. Potter. Now, let's begin." He raised his wand and began his instruction.
As the days and weeks passed, the DA got used to having the small group of Slytherins with them. They all learned from each other. It was now the middle of November and Severus was getting worried. He and Harryhad tried working on his dark mark but nothing had worked so far. "He is getting suspicious about me. I can't keep appearing for no reason."
Harry read through their notes. "There is something I have refused to try because of what your reaction will be. But I have thought it through and think it may be the only way."
"We are almost out of options Harry." Severus sighed and turned to look at him. Draco was beside the boy frowning at the notes. "What is it?"
"Well, our wands have brother cores. He was touching you when he marked you correct?" He smiled when the man nodded. "Then I will do the same. A drop or two of my blood may also help."
"No! If I am taken to him, that would pull you along." Severus shook his head. "Absolutely not!"
Draco sighed. "It's the only thing you two haven't tried. We can have a few people here just in case and you have the emergency portkey." He frowned at him. "It's at least worth a try."
"Fine." Severus frowned. "I will inform Albus and we can do it the weekend before we return home for the holidays. For now, the two of you better get going." The boys nodded and left, heading for their dorms.
When December rolled in, Harry was starting to get nervous for Severus. Then a new thought popped into his head as he was discussing it with Draco. "Draco, is there someplace Blaise and the others can stay if this doesn't work?"
"They can stay with me and mum. The newer wards should be fine." He shrugged. "If not then we have another place we can stay that he knows nothing about." He smiled at Harry. "So, are you ready for our friendly chatter to start tomorrow? The rest of the students will be shocked."
"Yeah, but watch your back with the slytherins. If you have to, tell them you are doing it to try to get me to trust you enough to take you to him." Harry smirked. "They may believe it." Draco laughed and nodded.
The rest of the school did indeed get shocked by the two being friendly. They only really worried if their plan would actually work. But as the holidays drew near, the day arrived to try Harry's idea for the mark. Draco, Ron, Pansy, and Hermione joined Harry as he headed for the shrieking shack to meet Severus. He sighed as he looked at the man. "Are you ready?"
Severus nodded as they sat down on the floor where he had cleaned a place for them. "As ready as I will ever be." He held out his left forearm with the sleeve rolled up past his elbow.
Harry pulled out a silver dagger and pricked his finger, dropping a couple drops of blood onto the dark mark. He then grasped the man's wrist, pointed his wand at the mark, and said the incantation. They were surprised when a white light surrounded their forearms and hands.
Severus gritted his teeth as pain shot through his arm and into his body. Harry was doubled over and had his other hand on his scar. When the light disappeared, they both collapsed. He let out a whimper as he fell unconscious.
Draco and Hermione quickly levitated their bodies and the group managed to transport them to the infirmary. "Madame Pomphrey!" They had warned her ahead of time just in case.
The medi-witch came running from her office. "Did it work?" She motioned to the 2 beds farthest from the door. "Place them there."
"We haven't checked yet." Hermione looked over at the man and saw his sleeve had fallen down over the forearm. "Draco?"
Draco looked down and sighed. "Let's see." He reached down and pulled the sleeve up. He gasped and looked up at them. "It's blank. Itworked!" He raised the man's arm so they could see. He smiled when Harry groaned and looked around. "Harry! You did it!"
"Great!" His head dropped and he passed out again. Madame Pomphrey rushed over and did a scan. She tucked him back in before ushering the others towards the door.
"Run along. They will be fine in a few hours." She looked up as Draco remained. "There is nothing you can do right now Mr. Malfoy."
"If I promise to be quiet and not make a sound, can I stay?" He smiled at her. "I promise to come get you if they wake up or do anything." When she nodded, he sat down in the chair between the beds. "Thanks." He watched over them and read a book he had in his pocket. Two hours later, he heard movement. Looking up, he found Harry trying to sit up. "Don't move, I'll get the nurse." He ran and got themedi-witch. "Harry's awake." He hung back as she quickly ran out and scanned the boy.
Harry frowned as she fussed over him. "I have a headache and feel like there is something under my skin." He reached back and lifted his shirt. "Right here." He looked down and saw a small picture on his skin. "What is that?"
"I'm not sure but I have an idea of what it could be." She shook her head. "It hasn't been heard of for a few centuries."
"Could you please keep quiet? Poppy, I'm in need of a headache potion." Severus groaned as he tried to sit up. "Harry, what did you do? I feel like something is under my skin." He saw them look at him in shock. He pulled up his shirt and saw a small picture on his side. "What happened?"
Poppy sighed as she ran her diagnostic check on him. "You are both fine. As for that little picture, you both have one. They are exactly alike except for the color. I think I know what it is but I am not sure. They look like a crest, or a mixture."
"Harry, let me see yours." Severus leaned over as the boy pulled his shirt back up. "Well, there is the Prince crest but it looks like its combined with another one. It is familiar though." He frowned in thought. "Poppy, are we clear to go? I have something that may help with that other crest." When she nodded, he smiled. "Potter, meet me at the Headmaster's office at 10 tomorrow morning." He strolled out before anyone could say anything else.
Draco shook his head. "I know I've seen that other crest before. It may be an old wizarding line."
"Well, I will see what he finds tomorrow. For now, I'm going to go rest. I will let you know tomorrow." Harry smiled as Draco walked with him. "I'm glad it worked. Now we just need to keep him from getting snatched by the others."
Draco nodded. "That should be easy because he hardly ever goes out unless its for potions stuff or food." He laughed. "Besides, he will have you with him I'm sure."
Harry nodded. "Once we scare the Dursleys." He sighed as they reached Gryffindor tower. "I will see you tomorrow, thanks for the chat."
"Anytime! See ya tomorrow Potter." Draco laughed as the boy nodded and headedto meet his friends.
Down in the dungeons, Severus was in a shocked confusion. He found the other crest but it only led to more questions. He knew of only oneother person in the castle who may be able to help him figure it all out. He stalked to his fireplace and threw some powder into it. "McGonegall's office!" When she allowed him entrance, he grabbed his books and floo'd over. "I need your help Minnie."
