Flashback

Draco was jealous. No other word fit. Harry was safe from the Gryffindors, since he kept using the charm on them, but it still bothered Draco that they were like a large group of admirers, so he barely had time to be alone with Harry between classes or at lunch. Right now, the jealousy didn’t matter though. Draco was patiently waiting at the bottom of the stairs to Dumbledore’s office. Some parents had written him, telling him their kids had been acting weird the first few days of the small break that had just ended, and Draco was worried Harry would get forbidden from using the charm, which would put him in danger around the Gryffindors again.

Harry walked out shortly after along with Severus, who’d been summoned as well. “How did it go? What did he say?” Draco asked nervously.

Severus couldn’t help chuckling at Draco’s worried voice. Before either of them could say anything, Nayan slid down the stairs as well and gave out a hissing laugh. “Let’s just say the old man will think twice before daring to blame my child.” Draco watched her curl up around Harry, and he noticed she had some new marks down her backside.

Draco carefully caressed the new, long line of marks, and Severus noticed the marks as well. “Well, this sure is uncommon,” he said calmly. Harry looked at the marks as well, and when he lightly touched them, Nayan hissed in a content way. “If I remember correctly, these markings first appear after one of her kind gets a family, and since she does not have a mate around, it must mean nature sees you as her child.” Harry smiled softly and caressed the markings, making Nayan shiver with happiness. “And obviously she’s able to feel your emotions very strongly when you touch the markings. This should prove useful. If it also works without touch, then she’ll easily sense if you are in trouble and need help.” Draco smiled softly. That just meant Harry was safer.

Harry caressed the marks, but the happiness glowing off Nayan soon turned to a tense, sad atmosphere. “Well, it’ll be useful. The headmaster told me not to use the charm on students anymore. I felt a tingle in the room, so I think he’s either changed the school’s wards, or he’s put some spell on me… He had quite a big stack of letters on his desk, and I don’t think he likes complaints…” Draco calmly hugged Harry, when Nayan moved off the younger boy’s body. It didn’t take long for Harry to cheer up, and Nayan was cheerful as well. Severus excused himself and went back into the headmaster’s office.

Draco let go of Harry, and they started walking down the hall. Ron and his group were standing by the entrance to the library when Harry and Draco walked by. Nayan was following them, though she was hidden in the shadows, so the lions hadn’t seen her. “Well, look at that! Harry is still with the Death Eater spawn. Is he proud that you curse everyone who goes the slightest bit against you?” Harry took a silent, calming breath, and tried to use the Veela charm.

He quickly noticed the charm was ineffective, and so he decided to bitch slap Ron with some truth instead. “Well, it was not a curse, it was merely a charm,” he said calmly, watching Ron’s cheeks flush with anger.

The group started whispering, and Ron pointed at Harry. “They’re Death Eater scum! They’re bound to have used some spell on you! That’s it! You’re against your friends because they’ve cursed you to be against us! You need the chance to choose on your own, so you come with us to Poppy, so she can help you see that he’s not good enough for you!” The group was nodding in agreement with Ron’s words, and some even were ready to drag Harry off.

Harry wouldn’t listen to those mean words, and his anger made his magic flail around him, scaring all surrounding people. “I am not cursed! Unlike the lions, who turned their back to me, when I merely mentioned Draco’s name, the Slytherins actually care about me! I should’ve never listened to you in the train! If I hadn’t thought you were right about Slytherins when we first met, I wouldn’t have made the hat make me a lion!” A few gasps were heard from the group, when the students understood Harry’s words.

Ron was as oblivious as ever and didn’t listen to Harry’s words. “They must have cursed you! Lions are loyal! You should be back with us; your friends!” Harry stared at Ron for a moment.

All of a sudden, Harry started laughing. No one really understood why. When the laughter finally died, Harry spoke, and Ron grinned at the words he got. “Fine, I will let Poppy check me, but only if Draco can come along.” Ron of course thought they would all get to beat up the blonde when Harry became himself again, though Harry had just realized that Poppy would be perfect to scold Dumbledore, if he had put a spell on Harry without permission.

Poppy was calmly checking the list of Harry’s medicinal history, and even though she’d helped him many times, the length of the list still surprised her. “What is that long paper you’re reading? I thought you were just going to check Harry’s medicinal records!” Ron exclaimed impatiently. The paper was extremely long, and he couldn’t understand what it could be.

Poppy merely sighed. “Mr. Weasley, please. It’s hard enough to look through his medicinal record as it is. Please, don’t disturb while I read it through.” Ron stared at the big rolled up parchment. “There are too many injuries here to read the entire list, so I’m merely reading from last I saw him. It’s still a long list.” Everyone was silent after that, and she continued reading.

It took almost twenty minutes before she finished reading through the more recent injuries, and she looked very angry when she noticed the latest entry on the list. “So, did you find anything?” Ron asked hopefully.

Poppy rolled up the paper and spelled it away, so others couldn’t read it. “A spell has been used on him recently. It’s not even a legal spell!” she said in pure outrage.

Ron immediately pointed at Draco with his wand. “I knew it! You DID put a curse on him!” Harry stepped in between them to protect Draco, giving Ron a warning glare.

Poppy quickly gathered several potions. “Oh, Ron, you’re mistaken. It’s not Draco here who put the spell on Harry. No, as far as I can tell, the headmaster has blocked off some of Harry’s magic, and if we do not open them up again, they may break loose and lash out on everything around him. It may even kill, since Harry is a very strong wizard.” Poppy turned to Harry, leaving a shocked group of Gryffindors staring at Harry. “These potions will help you sleep, as well as they will make your magic sleep with you, so it won’t try to break free. Draco, go to my office. Firecall Severus. Tell him it’s an emergency.” Draco nodded and ran into the office.

Ron finally snapped out of it. “But… But why would the headmaster put a spell on Harry?” Poppy got Harry up on the bed, and made him drink the potions.

When Harry was finally asleep, she put the empty bottle on the table. “I don’t know. It’s one of the things I need to ask him about after helping Harry,” she said. It was the first time Ron had ever seen her angry.

Draco walked back in. “It’s because of his Veela charm. The Gryffindors cast Harry aside as soon as he mentioned my name, while all I actually had done at the time was to tell him I had seen Ron and the know-it-all snogging in an alcove. He was practically abandoned before he could explain, so of course I helped him. The Veela bond made me unable to even pretend to hate him. When the Gryffindors started attacking him with words, he used the Veela charm to make you all like him, so he wouldn’t get hurt. As far as I know, your parents complained to Dumbledore during the vacation, so he put a spell on Harry.” Poppy stared at Draco, unbelieving to the words she’d just heard.

Ron looked at Harry with teary eyes. “I don’t get it… We were so good friends, but no matter how I want to apologize, something just makes me so aggressive when you two are together or when he mentions you. I don’t know why!” Poppy looked at them, and shortly after, she was practically screaming herself sore from anger. The Gryffindors had never turned on Harry; it was Dumbledore, who had tried to get Harry away from Draco!
