(I’m thinking)
“I’m speaking”
Pairing: Yaoi M/M, Harem – top Harry x bottom de-aged Severus / Tom / Lucius
Last Time:
“Quirinus Quirrell” Peter answered as the potion master stepped forward to help Bellatrix start the machine. The rumble of the machine was soon followed by bloodcurdling screams …

Vesta yipped as she tried to get Harry’s attention, but the child was lost in thought. It just seemed hard to believe that he has not on but three soulmates. Do they actually want him? He didn’t think he was good enough for Lucius, Severus and Tom so what should he do? A part of him wanted to pretend that he heard nothing that day and hope they went looking for someone better. Another wanted someone to care for and who will love him. all his thoughts were interrupted when the nature sprite jumped on his head …
“sorry Vesta … I just got lost in thought … would I be a good soulmate for them?” Harry asked softly to no one in particular.
With a gentle flex of her magic the fox created an illusion gave her a voice her little master would understand ‘the fact that you ask that question already makes you better than most. Too many people take these magical bonds for granted. Your magic singing is only one part to mating’
“will you help me?” Harry asked knowing he knew little about anything regarding relationships.
‘of course, but you are too young to be concerned about that yet. Recover, grow strong and learn. When you reach the changing stage we will discuss how to court your mates though I sense you will be tall and strong so I suspect you will need very little help especially since you are actually very observant’ Vesta spoke kindly and dropped the illusion just as Nagini slithered into the room.
‘a man snuck into the manor. He better not go for the hatchlings or he will meet my fangs’ the serpent hissed threateningly.
‘there’s a man here? Is Tom and the others ok?’ Harry asked worrying about everyone.
Nagini’s jaw dropped just a little in shock ‘you speak snake little one?’
Harry blushed as he realized he forgot to bring that up earlier ‘yes, I’m sorry I didn’t bring it up before’
‘that’s fine hatchling … I suppose this should be expected all things considered’ Nagini said and shook her scaly head in amusement making Harry wonder if she knew about him and Tom being each others intendeds. A bang from downstairs made everyone jump ‘the other hatchling is still asleep in his room go there and call the house elves. Tell them someone broke through the wards without setting off alarms and stay in the room until otherwise. I will go see what is going on’ she said while not so subtly using her tail to keep Harry from trying to see for himself what was going on. Finally Harry relented and went to Draco’s room with Vesta as Nagini quickly slithered away …

The small Whomping Willow slammed into the ground in an attempt to kill a rat that was scurrying around its trunk. The rat nimbly dodged each swing of the lethal branches as it collected the twigs on the ground. When the rat had enough twigs it raced away from the tree narrowly avoiding losing his tail …
“that was not as simple as you made it seem Peter” Severus drawled as the rat stopped at his feet and dropped the twigs.
The rat turned into a slightly rat like man who shrugged carelessly “the tree here is much smaller than the one at Hogwarts so it seems to be more defensive against all creatures-ow!” Peter clutched his head in pain after the tree used some very good aim to chuck a rock at him “and has some issues holding a grudge not unlike you” Peter grumbled as he shot the tree a glare.
“for that comment I won’t be healing that lump” Severus sneered and walked into the manor with the twigs in hand.
Peter huffed “Harry is going to have his hands full with your feistiness, how will he handle Lucius and Tom too?” he pondered and snickered at the blush that crept across the potion master’s pale cheeks “I bet he won’t care and even welcome the challenge especially when you use that age reversing potion to make yourself young again. How is that going?” he asked just before he shifted back into his handsome and very real form that lacked all rat like features.
“Tom and I found the recipe in the books Myrtle collected over the years and it is quite simple really. We just need a currently hard to get ingredient” Severus said feeling a sense of eagerness. It would be like starting over again and this time he can have a happier life.
“I can assist with getting this ingredient” Severus and Peter whirled around at the sound of the unfamiliar voice and found a dark haired man in a dark tailored muggle suit sitting with Tom and Lucius. Nearly everyone was suspicious of the man who should not have been able to get passed the wards and considering both Lucius had their wands trained on the man meaning they most likely didn’t let him in.
“Quirinus? What are you doing here? It’s ok everyone this is my friend and ally Quirinus Quirrell” Peter grinned and greeted the wizard with a friendly hug as Severus slipped the twigs into his pocket to hold his wand in case this man tried something.
Lucius scowled and kept his wand pointed at the man despite Peter’s admission “ally or not I don’t appreciate having people waltz in undetected”
Tom eyed the man carefully and nodded in agreement “I would like to know how you entered this manor” he said. When the man touched Lucius shot a warning hex that unintentionally hit the door effectively slamming it shut with a loud bang.
“oh that’s actually quite simple … peacocks” Quirinus said as he slowly sat on the couch while keeping his hands within sight all the time so no one will think he’s going for a wand and attack again. Despite the tension and risk of death he seemed very calm.
“peacocks … my peacocks couldn’t have brought you in the main wards” Lucius stated firmly wondering why this man would use his prize peacocks as an excuse.
‘I had the hatchlings hide with the elves to guard them … he smells of feathers’ Nagini hissed as she slithered onto the couch attempting set the man on edge, but strangely enough the man just looked intrigued at the sight of the deadly serpent that was way too close to his neck.
Quirinus smiled in a carefree way “I do apologize for not announcing my arrival. Please let me explain, I worked as a curse breaker at Gringotts for a while so I have experience looking for weakness, but no I didn’t tear your wards down. That would’ve been foolish to do in a house with children that need protecting. I simply noticed that your peacocks were allowed to move in and out of the wards which meant an animagus would be allowed to enter freely and I am one just like Peter. That’s how I got in, but this not why I came”
“and why did you come?” Severus asked as he and the others settled on the other living room seats still keeping an eye on the man despite lowering their wands “I was under the impression we were not going to meet until the school year started. This one hasn’t quite ended yet and how pray did you know to come here? I doubt Peter gave you our location and he is supposed to be on the move constantly”
The wizard chuckle in a carefree way “my aunt … well technically I did go to Hogwarts , but we never met there since I was one year ahead of Lucius and a Ravenclaw so we never would’ve crossed paths. It was my great-aunt who told me a great deal about you all during my many summer visits. I know that though Peter was a Marauder he was actually only playing the part there to keep an eye on the health of a certain werewolf and was actually your friends” he noticed Peter’s gape in shock ”Yes Peter, I’m sorry for not admitting that when we met, but I’ve known about all of you … especially you, Tom Marvolo Riddle”
In a moment everyone was tense and Tom’s eyes narrowed dangerously “how do you know my name?”
The man looked both happy and relieved that Tom responded that way “your name … I’ll assume you’re alright then … anyway, how could I not? You were my Aunt Myrtle’s closest friend” Quirinus said and was met with two wands pointed at him and the deadly hiss of a snake familiar that sensed its master’s distrust.
“Myrtle is dead” Tom remarked coldly as Nagini opened her mouth as she moved close to the man’s throat to silently urge the fool to keep talking or he will be killed via very slow and painful venom.
“and was cursed with not one but two curses. One that locks her to the grounds of Hogwarts and one that allows the castor to hear everything she says or what someone says to her, but that hasn’t stopped her. The first curse is permanent as long as the caster remains alive, but the second has to be repeated at the beginning of every school year because Dumbledore is too weak to make it last year around. While no people are in the school during the summer months it is possible to get in Hogwarts without detection and speak to her. My grandma found out because we are a stubborn family and who wouldn’t seek out the ghost of her baby sister. Aunty managed to communicate everything through pointing at letters in a book, but when the curse’s weakness was discovered grandma found a way into the school and has been visiting her sister for years and since the curse has faded once again I went to meet her as usual. She couldn’t explain before because apparently Severus was pressed for time and she missed him when he came for the books. There’s much to discuss, but first Aunty wanted me to make sure her message was delivered” Quirinus turned serious and looked at Severus.
Severus simply smirked in amusement as Tom twitched clearly recalling the swat upside the head “yes Tom got the message, right upside his head as instructed”
Quirinus grinned “excellent! She was mad at you for splitting your soul so she believed a slap was deserved. Now my family has taken Aunty Myrtle’s warnings about staying clear of Dumbledore, The Order and, not you, but Voldemort, very seriously. However Aunty suspected that your soul is whole again in which case we want to help. You were her friend and she wants to help too” he said as he slowly reached into his breast pocket and took out a pretty gold locket that was shaped like a flower.
Deep brown eyes widened and Tom took the very familiar locket from him “this … this is Myrtle’s … you are an ally”
The Ravenclaw nodded “and I’m afraid, my Lord, that we have a troubling topic to discuss, which is the real reason for my impromptu visit … Gellert Grindelwald is trying to contact you. After I agreed to help I went to stop by in a similar fashion I did today and was met with a much nastier welcome if I may say so”
“well even I try not to startle wizards who are very happy to kill first then ask questions” Peter deadpanned.
“that isn’t quite what I mean … he didn’t do anything expect …tell me to kill him” Quirinus said clearly a bit unsettled at recalling the old wizard’s demand.
Tom raised an eyebrow “he wants to die?”
“I tried to talk him out of it, but all he said was that he couldn’t last much longer with everything going on and that if he breaks now the fool will get what he wants” the Ravenclaw said seriously.
A frown reached Severus’s lips “break not die? If he said break that implies a mental break and with the rest it sounds like he’s being pressed for information not held for war crimes”
“I honestly don’t know what he meant, but he seemed sane and made no move to hurt me. The strange statement made me tell him, not specifically who I was, but who my Aunt was … the man broke down in tears. Someone has been keeping him informed of all events for sure because he knew a good amount of her death, which made the papers, but he knew more than what most people knew and he blamed himself. He expressed a great hatred for Dumbledore so I told him that I knew a person who was working to bring him down by the name of Tom. He says if you don’t come soon there may be no one left to tell you how to stop him” Quirinus reported sadly.
“this doesn’t sound like a trap … the man hardly seems like someone in the position to trap anyone” Tom remarked as he weighed his options carefully. Grindelwald was a target they wanted to get information from, but he was in a secure cell. Granted the cell was a house and didn’t have any dementors flying around, but it shouldn’t be as easy as Quirinus makes it seem “I will go now, but first how have you been getting in and out of Hogwarts so easily?”
“my grandma installed a vanishing cabinet” the ravenclaw blinked when he noticed he was getting looks that seemed like a combination of shock and disbelief ”what? It was a simple trick and no one looks in certain rooms. The one at Hogwarts is actually in a hidden room behind the shelves in the potions pantry-”
“I’m the potions professor and I have never once seen a single sign of a hidden doorway or room” Severus snapped suddenly not believing this this man.
Tom chuckled “there is Severus, but you need to speak Parseltongue to get in or out. I found out accidently my first year when I spoke parseltonuge into the snake shaped rackets that holds up the fourth shelf. I only ever told Myrtle … If I’m right Myrtle taught you Quirinus. She did manage to mimic at least one word, which was ‘open’ … she never went without me before, but she could get in the Chamber of Secrets without me if she wanted to”
“yes she did, but I must say how can you speak it constantly. I get a sore throat just repeating that one word a few times … although working out those muscles mnust be good for oral sex. Now that’s a theory to test” Quirinus mused out loud not caring that Peter started snickering or that the others looked at him disapprovingly.
“it seems Myrtle’s quirky interests have passed on to the next generations” Tom muttered wryly.
‘ah, but master this would be a good test. The young green eyed hatchling speaks snake’
Tom gaped “Harry speaks parseltongue!” he gasped unintentionally speaking English instead of parseltongue so everyone heard. Lucius, Tom and Severus blushed for they couldn’t help but ponder that theory …
‘yes he spoke to me just moments ago’ Nagini hissed happily.
Quirinus leaned over to Peter “considering Dumbledore’s cruelty just from my family’s experience would I be correct in assuming the Harry he just mentioned is no ordinary Harry”
“yes” Peter chuckled.
“and they’re blushing because …” Quirinus trailed off waiting for an answer even though he suspected it already.
“Harry is their intended” Peter exclaimed with a grin.
“you found your soulmate! Mazel Tov! … you know Aunty Myrtle will want to hear this from you personally- … oh that’s right! The other end of the cabinet was in my family home in muggle world and I went to go get it, thus my attire, but I couldn’t shrink something that heavily charmed so it’s still outside” Quirinus chuckled sheepishly.
Lucius sighed “I’ll get it … hopefully the peacocks didn’t turn it into a nest already”
“while you do that Peter, Quirinus and I will take the chance to speak to Grindelwald. Severus would you examine those Whomping Willow samples while we’re gone?” the potion master nodded and Tom stood up to leave with the two wizards “oh and Quirinus, don’t call me lord. No one related to Myrtle should call me anything except Tom” he said making Quirinus grin as they walked out the door to apparate away …
No one saw a little black fox latch onto Tom’s robes effectively leaving with them …
Just as they left Narcissa flooed in “I got a few presents for both Harry’s and Draco’s birthdays- … did I miss something?”
“you have no idea” Lucius said as Severus snorted and laid out some twigs on the table to examine them “but first could you check on Draco and Harry? Harry can explain part of what happened … I need to get a vanishing cabinet out of the peacock areas” he said as he rushed off. All that could be heard was Lucius saying ‘too late!’ since apparently one of the rare peacocks had already perched and even laid an egg on top of the cabinet. The feathered bird refused to move …
“vanishing cabinet? … what? … never mind” Narcissa gave up trying to understand what was going on and went upstairs to hide the presents and check on the children. When she opened the door she found Draco and Harry playing with some charmed toys with the three elves watching them. The second the elves saw her they looked relieved and popped off to do other things “how is everything going you two? … oh, where’s Vesta?” she asked wondering where the fox went.
“outside” Harry said not wanting to explain that he sent Vesta to learn what she could about what’s going on. Instead he started telling Narcissa what little he knew about the intruder …
