Chapter Ten: The DA

“I’m going to kill Ginny Weasley.” Harry said as he walked into the Slytherin common room.

“What has she done?” Draco asked the irate teen.

“I just had an interesting conversation with Dobby, apparently the youngest Weasley decided that she was going to put a love potion into my juice at mealtimes. Dobby discovered what she was trying to do and made sure he supplied fresh juice to me.” Harry explained as he flopped ungracefully onto the lounge, ignoring the indignant look Draco threw at him for his lack of grace.

“That must be why Dumbledore has had that sour look on his face after every mealtime.” Draco said.

“She won’t stop until I do something about it. This is just another way to try and control me but what’s the bet that Dumbledore has offered her all my vaults and properties in the event of my sudden and unexpected demise?”

“What are you going to do about the little bint?” Blaise asked.

“I’m not sure yet, I may just leave it for a bit. Will be amusing to watch the frustrated looks on their faces at every meal when I don’t all of a sudden claim my un-dying love for her.” Harry said with a thoughtful look on his face.

“On a different note, have you handed out any of the parchments yet?” Draco asked his fellow Slytherin.

“I’ve handed out a lot to the fifth year Ravenclaw’s, if they truly intend to join the DA then the details and directions to Salazar’s quarters will appear on the parchment. I’m glad you found that charm to put on the parchments, it makes hiding what we are doing so much easier.” Harry replied.

“Salazar’s library has been really useful in finding what we need, there are quite a few books that can help us out with the DA meetings.” Draco told them.

“Well the first meeting is set for this Saturday night, once we have determined who are on their house teams we can go from there. Your father is coming here about an hour before the meeting, he’ll be arriving via the floo in Remus’ office.” Harry said as he rose from his seat to get a drink.

“Are those two still tiptoeing around each other?” Draco asked.

“Yep, I told Remus that the reason he was having such a reaction to your dad was that he was his mate but I don’t think he really believed me. Lucius is just as stubborn.” Harry replied with an exasperated smile on his face.

“Maybe if I talk to dad we may actually get somewhere. If I explain to him about the whole mate thing, maybe he’ll make the first move.” Draco told the other wizard.

“Speaking of making first moves.” Harry said as he looked over to where Blaise had moved after their conversation had moved towards Remus and Lucius.

“I don’t know, Harry. What if he doesn’t return my feelings?” Draco asked as he looked at Blaise as the other boy conversed with a second year.

“Trust me, he does. There is no point in denying the inevitable.” Harry told him.

“I guess there is no time like the present.” Draco said before he got up from his seat and walked over to the dark skinned boy.

Harry watched as his friend walked up to the boy he had been crushing on for months, Draco said something into the other boy’s ear and then pointed to their dorm room. Blaise gave Draco a quizzical look before nodding and following the blonde towards the seventh year boy’s dorm room.

Harry didn’t want to hang around in the common room waiting for the pair to finish doing what Harry knew was inevitable, with a smile on his face he got up from the lounge and headed towards the exit. He had some things to discuss with Severus and it would give him an excuse to see the man.

Harry had no qualms about admitting that he had feelings for the older wizard, he also knew that his feelings wouldn’t be returned. In the end he would rather have the man as a friend than not have him in his life at all. At least they were able to get rid of the animosity that was fuelled when Harry had looked into the man’s pensieve in his fifth year. After a lengthy and genuine apology from Harry about invading the older wizard’s memories, they had been able to move forward and form a bond that would help them to work better together.

Harry came out of his musings once he reached his head of houses office, he knocked on the door then started to fiddle with the strap of his school bag as he waited for the door to be answered. He was almost smacked in the face by the opening portrait because of his lack of concentration, jumping out of the way he missed the slight smirk that formed on Severus’ face before it vanished.

“Mr. Potter, to what do I owe this visit to?” The stoic man asked as he stood with his arms crossed over his chest.

“I wanted to speak with you about the potion we did in class today.” Harry replied, just in case there was anyone about.

“Follow me, Mr. Potter.” Severus said as he stood to the left to allow the younger wizard to enter his office.

Harry entered the office and followed the older man to his desk in the back of the room, Harry took his bag off of his shoulder and placed it on the floor beside his chair before taking a seat.

“What is it you wanted to discuss?” Severus asked as he pulled a parchment towards him.

“I was wondering if you had written up that list of potions I asked you for?” Harry asked as he watched the man mark what appeared to be a student’s homework and from the amount of red ink already plastered on it the student would not be happy with the return of it.

“I have the list written up, all you need to do is copy it for those who will be doing the brewing. I have also set aside six spare cauldrons that can be used, the ingredients are another thing all together. I have not had a chance to leave the school to buy the ones that are required for the potions needed.” Severus informed him as he grabbed another parchment from the pile in front of him.

“I’ll send a letter to Lucius along with the list of ingredients that we need, he’ll be able to do the shopping at Diagon and bring it all here on Saturday. I’m going to be going down to the chamber tonight to clean it up a bit.” Harry said.

“Is there anything else you wanted?” Severus asked as he looked up from the parchment he was marking.

“What, can’t I just come and say hi?” Harry asked with an innocent look on his face.

Severus gave him a knowing look; the older man knew that there was another reason the young wizard had come to his office.

“Okay, so maybe Draco has finally decided to make a move concerning Blaise and I really don’t want to walk into the dorm room while they are in the middle of their little get together.” Harry said.

“Ah, understandable. What convinced my godson to finally talk to the other boy?” Severus asked.

“Me, got sick of watching Draco stare at Blaise’s ass every time he walked passed us. Didn’t really help when Blaise would do the same thing to Draco, just got sick of the beating around the bush. May just have to do the same thing to Remus and Lucius on Saturday. Told Remus that Lucius was his mate but I don’t think he believed me.” Harry explained.

“It’s understandable where Lupin is concerned, Lucius was ahead of us at Hogwarts so he never interacted with the younger years. Because of that, Lupin hadn’t been around him for his werewolf part to recognise the bond. With them being in close proximity over the summer, his beast was overwhelmed with the scent of its mate. Your best bet is to talk with Lucius about the matter, otherwise he will not find out about the bond because Lupin will continue to deny it.” Severus explained as he got to work marking yet another parchment.

“That’s what I was thinking earlier, Remus deserves to be happy after all the crap he has to put up with since he was a child simply because he has an infliction that is not within his control.” Harry told the other man.

“I have been thinking of a way to strengthen the Wolfsbane potion, maybe stop the pain that the transformation creates.” Severus told the other wizard.

“That will be good, I’ve seen the potions he has to take after his transformation is over. He gets really grouchy.”

The conversation between the two wizards lasted for another hour, Harry sat talking with the older wizard as the potion master marked the stack of parchments in front of him. Harry noted the barely concealed look of glee on the older man’s face as he practically covered each parchment in red ink, there were very few that weren’t marred with the crimson ink.

Now that Harry knew more about potions and was better at the ‘Subtle’ art that is potions making, he better understood the potion master’s reason for being so harsh in his classes. There was no room for error when it came to the more dangerous potions that were made in the higher years, already a potion had been made incorrectly by the Weasley brat and had almost sent several students to the hospital wing. If it hadn’t been for Hermione’s quick thinking the damage would have been disastrous. When Severus had tried to have the boy removed from his class, Dumbledore had stepped in and prevented it. Of course that didn’t stop the man from giving the boy a months’ worth of detentions, cleaning out the cauldrons from every class that had been kept dirty just for him.

Ronald had tried to complain to McGonagall about the unfairness of the detentions but upon hearing what damage would have happened if Hermione had not stepped in, the Gryffindor head of house had told the boy that he was to attend every detention without complaint. They hadn’t been at school long and the boy was already causing trouble. He had yet to confront Harry head on but it was only a matter of time before that happened.

“I’m going to head back to the common room now, hopefully they are done with whatever they were doing and I’ll be able to get the books I need to start on my transfiguration homework.” Harry said to the other wizard as he stood from his seat, bending over to retrieve his bag Harry didn’t see Severus look up from his work and stare at the younger wizard’s ass.

“I will see you later, I may come down to the chamber to help with the cleaning if I finish this marking.” Severus told Harry, quickly averting his eyes as the boy turned to face him.

“Okay, I’ll see you later.”

Harry was currently in the room of requirement doing the cleaning he had told Severus he was going to do. Once he had returned to the Slytherin common room he had headed to his dorm room to retrieve his books that he needed for his homework. He had found both his friends snuggled up on Draco’s bed, fully clothed, looking fully snogged out. Other than a brief hello both boy’s remained in a world of their own. Harry had just smiled at them fondly before leaving the room, he had then spent the time remaining till curfew doing his homework assignments.

Once everyone had headed to their rooms for bed, Harry had packed away all his school work and taken it back upstairs to his trunk. Draco and Blaise had migrated to under the covers and were fast asleep, their lack of clothing and the smell of sex that permeated the room told him exactly what they had been doing. After wishing for some mental bleach to erase the image that popped into his head, he had pulled his cloak out of his trunk along with the map before promptly leaving the room.

He had made his way to Salazar’s rooms and had stopped into the office to say hello to the two founders. To avoid him being noticed as missing from his portrait, Godric would venture down to the one that had been set up for him once all the students had gone to their dorms. The two lovers spent every night catching up, considering how long they were apart for they had a lot to catch up.

Salazar had already informed Harry of all the spells that were on the Chamber and which ones would need to be re-strengthened. Harry figured that it would be better if he strengthened the wards first before cleaning any of the mess up, who knew what all that grime was holding up. He was currently wandering around the outer wall of the chamber looking for cracks in the wards, he had a smoke hanging out his mouth and was mumbling under his breath. Harry was concentrating on the task at hand that he didn’t even hear as Severus entered the chamber.

“Where did you pick that nasty muggle habit up from?”

Not expecting anyone else to be in the chamber with him, Harry jumped at the sudden question dropping his lit cigarette onto his shirt.

“Ah, fuck. What the hell? Don’t sneak up on me.” Harry said as he frantically patted at his shirt to put out the embers.

“I wasn’t sneaking up on you, I thought you had heard me coming in.” Severus said as he walked closer to Harry.

“I was concentrating on the wards, there are cracks in several places that need repairing before I clean in here.” Harry said as he pulled out his pack of smokes and lit another one.

“Must you do that?” Severus asked as he pointed at the cigarette in the boy’s hand.

“Yes, I must.” Harry said as he turned back to the crack he had been in the process of repairing.

“Would you like some help?” Severus asked.

“Yeah, sure. I’ll repair the wards over here if you can over to that wall and start there.” Harry told the older man as he turned to look at him.

“Did you get around to sending that letter off to Lucius?” Severus asked as he headed towards the opposite wall, having to raise his voice so Harry would hear.

“Yeah, got it sent off before I came down here, won’t get a reply till tomorrow.”

The two continued to work in silence, though Severus kept throwing disapproving looks at Harry every time the boy lit up a new cigarette. At least the boy wasn’t doing drugs, he’d had problems with a student ten years ago. A fifth year who was Muggleborn, almost unheard of in Slytherin house, not only did he cop flak from the other houses but he also got it from his own house. The boy had turned to muggle drugs to try and distance himself from the troubles of his everyday life, if Severus hadn’t have found him when he did then the boy would have died. As long as Harry stuck to just cigarettes then he wasn’t going to say anything more on the subject, even if he thought it was a rather nasty habit.

“Okay, all of you are here today for the purpose of learning. I’m not really great at giving speeches so I’ll just get to the root of the matter.”

The Chamber of Secrets was full of students from all four houses, the students from Gryffindor were the most surprising considering a lot of them weren’t all that friendly to Harry once he had been sorted into Slytherin.

“Voldemort is coming, whether we are ready or not. The fact that he has been quiet since the end of last year is very worrisome, we need to be prepared for whatever he is going to throw at us. We already know that he has all the Dementor’s from Azkaban already at his beck and call, it’s only a matter of time before he gets the werewolves and vampires on his side as well.” Harry started as he walked around the gathered students.

“The giants have yet to pick a side and the goblins will not involve themselves in our war. The ministry sure as hell isn’t doing anything to make a difference, they all expect me to do all the work while they sit back and wait to take all the credit. If the ministry won’t do anything and the rest of the wizarding world are too scared to even leave their homes let alone fight a war, then it is up to us to do something about it. We have the ability and the tactical advantage to do something before things spiral more out of control than they are now.”

“I’m seventeen year sold, the war has been going on since I was fourteen, that’s three years’ worth of training I could have been doing to prepare me to go up against Voldemort. Instead, I have to rely on myself and the few allies I have left to get me ready but I am one person, there is only so much I can do on my own. That is why I need your help, some of you were already in the DA back when the Umbitch was trying to take over this school the rest of you are those who have been chosen because of your views on the war.” Harry continued.

“The piece of parchment you all received had a special spell on it, it would only show its contents to those who are loyal to me and are willing to help. Dumbledore will not be happy at what we are trying to accomplish here, seeing as he wants me back under his control and has even bought the services of the two youngest Weasley’s to try and accomplish that task.”

Harry was about to continue with his explanations when Luna Lovegood raised her hand to get Harry’s attention.

“What are we going to be learning, Harry?” The blonde asked, it was rare that the girl spoke with such clarity.

“With Voldemort having control of the Dementor’s we need to focus on the Patronus charm as our first task. Those who were in the DA two years ago and managed to create a corporeal Patronus can help with teaching the other students. Tonight, however, we are just going to go over the list of spells we will be learning. I also need a list of who are going to be trying out for their houses Quidditch team, further meetings will be worked around the team practices. Because the teachers check the dorms every night at ten, lessons will be held in the evenings after dinner and before curfew.”

“Over in that corner is a table, there are cauldrons and ingredients for the potions lists that are there as well. We need those who are adept at potions to help with the creations of those potions, there is a list for you to put your names on and Professor Snape will be overseeing that station to keep an eye on the potions being made.” Draco added as he pointed to the far left corner of the Chamber.

“Professor Lupin will be helping the first group of students with their Patronus charms, he will need to volunteers from the previous DA to help him with the lessons. Anyone willing need only talk to him. Mr. Malfoy is our Death Eater expert, for those of you who don’t know, he has been a spy against Voldemort since the beginning of the first war. The Weasley twins will be at the next meeting, they are currently working on some rather interesting little items that will be a big help in the war. They will be bringing a few prototypes with them and will most likely ask for some volunteers to help them mass produce.”

“The parchments you originally received will automatically update with the meeting times and dates, anyone not in the know will not be able to read the parchment so you don’t need to worry about anyone else seeing it.” Draco added.

“Are there any questions?” Harry asked.

“What else will we be learning?” A fifth year Hufflepuff asked.

“The table next to the potions one has a stack of parchments with a rough schedule written out, each lesson will be different but those are what we have for now. The entrance that you came through tonight will be the entrance you all will use to get here. Other than the people in this room, no one knows the location to those quarters and that is the way it is going to stay.” Draco told them.

With the explanations over, the students interested in the potions went over to the table to sign up for the various potions while the rest of the students went and collected the list of spells they would be covering. Seeing Lucius standing over by the fireplace along the left hand wall, Harry went over to have a little chat with the man.

“Hi, there is something I need to discuss with you.” Harry told the older wizard once he reached him.

“What’s on your mind?”

“It’s about Remus, I know you have feelings for him. You’d have to be an idiot not to see it with the way you look at the man.” Harry started.

“What’s your point? The man obviously doesn’t want anything to do with me in that regard.” Lucius said as he looked over to the man in question with a look of longing on his face.

“That’s the thing, he does. I know he does, the only problem is that he is a very stubborn man who seems to think that because he is a werewolf he should be alone and miserable for the rest of his life, even if that means being without his mate.” Harry explained.

“Mate? What do you mean mate?” Lucius asked as his attention quickly snapped to the younger wizard.

“Remus came to me during the summer holidays and gave me a list of symptoms he was suffering from ever since he first came into proximity to you. Considering you were in your seventh year when he started at Hogwarts he never had a chance to interact with you back then. I looked up the cause of them and came to one conclusion that explained it all, including your sudden and rapid interest in him.” Harry explained to him.

“You mean I’m his mate and because this summer is the only time we have ever interacted with each other it’s only now come to light?” Lucius asked.

“Yes, the thing is that Remus has gone through so much in his life because of his lycanthropy that he believes he is unworthy of a mate. He believes you are better off without him but if there is even a slight chance of you returning those feelings and not rejecting him then I’ll do anything to get the two of you together. Even if that means going behind his back and telling you about the bond.”

“I didn’t know; I mean I felt something the second we met but I wasn’t paying much attention at the time. The more time we spent together over the holidays the more that feeling grew. There is nothing I want more than to be with him, his lycanthropy is not an issue for me.” Lucius told the boy.

“Then how about you do something about it.” Harry told him as he gave him a pat on the back and walked away with a satisfied look on his face. Looks like Remus would get his mate after all.

In Little Hangleton, at the Riddle manor, sat a man with the features of a deformed snake. At his feet was a snake curled up on the wood floor, before him was the snivelling form of Wormtail. The rat of a man had just informed his master about Lucius Malfoy’s true allegiance, to say the Dark Lord was furious would be a gross understatement.

“Call Bella for me Wormtail, seems we will need to teach Lucius a lesson.”

Wormtail bowed low to his enraged master before quickly scurrying out of the room to fetch the deranged witch. His master would teach that Malfoy scum a lesson for daring to betray him, with a look of glee on his face he continued through the manor in search of Bellatrix Lestrange.

A/N: Chapter ten is done. Things are finally looking up for Remus and Lucius but old Voldy has just found out about the blonde’s true allegiance, the next chapter is going to be interesting.
