Henry du Noir stood in the Entrance Hall of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, watching as enchanted carriages from all around England and Scotland pulled into the lantern lit courtyard. As far as any of these students knew, he was a Norman relative of Godric, living with the man both to achieve a magical education and to complete training to become a knight. Much as Harry had protested the cover story, Salazar had insisted and so he found himself standing a step behind Godric, a doublet with the Gryffindor crest showing his status as page to the insufferable man. Just as Harry hoped to slip away, Godric raised his hand and snapped.
"Page! Bring me my sword. I seem to have forgotten it in my tower and I wish to appear as formidable as possible when the children enter."
Harry bowed and mumbled a disdainful "yes sir" before running to Gryffindor tower. He couldn't help but wonder why Salazar had agreed to this ruse, or why the man was not there to stop Gryffindor from taking advantage of his power. As much as Harry dreaded being angry at the man, he couldn't help it. Salazar had disappeared just moments after an agreement had been reached about Harry's cover story, three days before. The insecure part of Harry's mind was convinced the man had abandoned him, leaving him with no way to even communicate with anyone else.
Harry returned to the Entrance Hall in time to see the arrival of the first students as well as Salazar. He handed the sword to Godric before hurrying to the dark haired man, settling at his side.
"Salazar where have you been? Godric is being positively horrid to me!"
Salazar chuckled darkly and brought Harry's small hand to his lips, eyes alight with joy. "I fear, cariño* that he is only going to get worse. Godric is a very jealous and possessive man and he believes that my love for you negates my friendship for him. But do not despair, Little Speaker, for I have a present for you that shall make it quite impossible for Godric to torture you further."
At the promise of a present, Harry grinned and wrapped his arms around Salazar's neck, whispering words of his happiness in the older man's ear. Salazar swept him into his arms and, with a smirk to Godric, carried him into the Great Hall, watching the curious gazes from students as they entered.
After being set down in front of the Head Table, Harry looked at Salazar with confusion evident in his verdant gaze. Salazar merely smiled and reached into his robes, pulling out a small box. He cleared his throat and spoke in English so those within listening distance could understand.
"Henry du Noir, with permission from your current Lord, Godric Gryffindor, I beseech thee, accept my pledge of fidelity and agree to become my betrothed, to marry me when the time is upon us and to be my companion for all time."
With tears in his eyes, Harry nodded his consent and watched as Salazar slipped a silver band in the shape of a snake onto his finger.
School without Hermione there to pester him was different. Harry was able to study at his own pace rather than being pushed to learn as fast as possible. It made him think that perhaps Hermione hadn't truly wanted him to succeed in classes. Even his potions were improving, under Salazar's watchful eye. One month into the year, Harry had the highest grades of all the students in fifth and sixth years alike. Although he was still unable to communicate with the other students, he found that he didn't mind. He had Salazar and Rowena as his companions on a frequent basis and when he wasn't with them, he was flying. So far, this year was the best of his life.
That thought was confirmed when his next courting gift arrived.
Harry was sitting in the library, a scroll of Transfiguration theories unrolled in front of him. Occasionally, he would look up from his scroll and write a note down on the piece of parchment next to it. It was during one such instance that he was interrupted. The once silent library exploded into squeals and small screams of terror, breaking Harry's concentration. Slithering towards him with a bow around its neck was an albino boa constrictor. Harry smiled and slid from his seat.
"And who might you be, lovely?"
"I am Sempra, master. The tall master wished to gift me to you."
Harry smiled and ran one hand down Sempra's yellow scales. The snake made a noise reminiscent of a purr and coiled around his arm and neck, resting her head on his collar bone.
"The tall master says I am to accompany you everywhere master."
"Very well, so long as you do not get in the way when I practice magic."
Sempra licked his neck in agreement and Harry settled back down to finish his notes.
*Spanish for love.
