Pairing: Yaoi M/M, Harem – top Harry x bottoms Draco / Tom (TMR) / Cedric
Last Time:
Griphook handed Severus a letter “a letter from the Malfoys came for you Lord Prince” the goblin said and the reaction was priceless …
XXXXXXXXXX
Brian laughed as he sat next to Julian who was looking at the elegant fountain of a tilted cauldron on top of a potentially unstable stack of books. The water was pouring out of the cauldron and down the books, which looked like they were frozen in mid fall “so you’re a prince now Severus. The twins will love this”
“very funny” Severus scoffed and looked around the place. The old building was massive. Four stories of solid stone, but it looked more modern than Hogwarts. They were in the courtyard, which was encompassed by the building on three sides. There was a large glass dome on top of the building that was a greenhouse and observatory. In the courtyard was the fountain and as you walk to the building you first go under some arches that has a large wall of floos. If you flooed here you’d be greeted by the beautiful courtyard. This was Legerdemain Academy of Sorcery “I’ll go get the Malfoys, don’t let Mickey fall in the water Julian” he warned before heading for the floos.
“ok, see you soon uncle!” Julian called out and watched as Severus left in a flash of green flames.
“ready to see your school and meet Draco?” Brian asked as a tiny Tanzanite dove into fountain and swam around chasing the little fish.
Julian nodded shyly “yes Daddy” he said softly, but was clearly a bit nervous for he clutched his toy wolf close to him.
“don’t worry Julian, there’s nothing to be afraid of. There are still some club activities going on so we’ll see a bit of how things work around here as you get a look at where your classes will be” Brian said as he gently ruffled the little boy’s hair, which was nearly identical to his own.
‘yes Julian. You’re my little human so nothing will hurt you without getting burned by me first’ Tanzanite hissed as he sprang out of the water and twisted sending a sprinkle of water at Aster who was coming down the hall towards them.
“hi Aster” Julian said sheepishly as Tanzanite unapologetically perched on his head.
“hello Julian” Aster said sweetly before narrowing her eyes at the Occamy as he dried her face trying to ignore Brian’s snickering ‘you’re a cheeky little thing’
XXXXXXXXXX
Lucius sighed as Severus appeared in the floo of the Malfoy Manor in front of him and his family “about time. Shall we go see this school that’s supposedly so great?” he remarked clearly irritated at the thought that there’s a school better than the one most of his family went to. Chances are he’s only doing this is for Draco since he would never forgive himself if everything turned out to be true and sending his son to Hogwarts did lead to his son’s death. Narcissa was more open minded about this potential change and simply adjusted her hold on Draco so she could nudge her husband for being rude again.
“glad to see you’re chipper this morning Lucius” Severus said sarcastically as they family of three joined him in the floo. Everything was expected to go well, but the first thing the Malfoys saw upon leaving the floo was Aster speaking parseltongue “get over it” he whispered into the adult Malfoys’ ears who went rigid as they were reminded of a terrifying time in their lives when a certain snake speaking Dark Lord was around.
“but Severus she’s speaking parseltongue” Lucius snapped under his breath in an outrage.
“thanks for clarifying. I would’ve never figured it out on my own” Severus retorted wryly, but sighed when his friends glared clearly thinking this was a serious matter “there are over 2000 snake speakers all over the world so getting worked up over a language is not going to help you or Draco”
Narcissa couldn’t stop her mouth from dropping in shock “2000! … but I thought it was a rare trait that only Salazar Sytherin and his descendants had”
“they certainly liked to claim as much” Severus muttered with an eye roll.
“Uncle Sev!” the little boy yelled as he waved and was pulled up into the man’s arms.
Severus smiled throwing his friends for a loop “this is my godson Julian River White” he said and glanced over his shoulder to see Aster and the ever laidback headmaster coming over with Mickey running around on the floor “this is his father, Brian White, who is the headmaster of this school and this is Aster, Julian’s godmother and the healer at Legerdemain” Severus introduced giving Lucius a warning look “everyone these are the Malfoys. Lucius, his wife Narcissa and his son Draco”
Tanzanite popped out of his hiding place in Julian’s hair and let an irritated puff of smoke ‘I didn’t hear my title’
“Dear Merlin!” Lucius gasped and instinctively pulled himself and his family back a pace.
“not Merlin, his name is Tanzanite and he’s my familiar” Julian pouted at the Malfoys odd reaction ‘be nice Tanzanite’ he hissed in parseltongue. He mistook the fear he felt as surprise because Tanzanite popped up so suddenly, but really the Malfoys recognized the creature as a dangerous creature to be around and the fear of parseltongue didn’t help poor Julian understand.
‘I am my human. They’re the ones acting weird’ the occamy hissed back as he grew a little and wrapped around Julian’s neck.
The potion professor sighed “well now that we have had the awkward first impressions out of the way what do you say we get this tour started?” he urged as he set Julian on the ground with Mickey.
Brian chuckled feeling good about this despite Severus’s worries “of course, stay close Julian” he said and they started walking. The Malfoys hesitated a moment, but then set Draco on the ground and followed.
“tell us if you get tired little dragon” Narcissa said softly still a little nervous about letting her child near an occamy, but no one else seemed concerned so she reluctantly allowed it. The group went into the courtyard to get a full view of the building and the Malfoys had to admit that the school was beautiful.
As they entered the main building Brain pointed to the first room off to the side ”this is the storage areas and changing rooms for various sports. It’s open now because we have club activities going on. In fact if you look out the side window over there you can see one of them going on” he said and picked up his son so he can see the art class going on below and Julian smiled as he recognized the professor walking around casually. Lucius let his son peek over the sill as well.
“what kind of activities do you have?” Narcissa asked.
“we have 16 different clubs. You saw the young man walking around the students down there? His name is Stephen and he handles the Mind & Magic class and the art club along with special classes for older students who need more help controlling their powers. Other clubs are music, chess and various sports clubs including dueling, soccer, karate, tennis, basketball and quidditch. Since I mentioned it Mind & Magic will be the first class you boys take” Brian explained as he looked down at the boys. He frowned slightly as Draco seemed to be glaring at Julian.
“Mind & Magic? What goes on in that class?” Lucius asked hoping it involves the mental training Draco will need to prevent the return of his magical disease.
Aster stepped in to answer that question “it involves what you call occlumency to protect their minds, contact their spirit beasts, find their animal if they are an animagus, find the element they are connected to and teaching kids to call and control their magic. We teach children wandless magic until they are 13 and it all starts with this class. Of course that’ isn’t the only class that is taught the first year. There are several others like potions, DADA, Herbology, Astronomy and the basics like math, reading and writing. All the magical classes are at lower levels and are perfectly safe for five year olds. The potion class works on identifying potions by smell and color first and what ingredients go together. Actual brewing is for 9 and up-oh and there are the potion professors!” she exclaimed as Silvia and Sophia came towards them.
“hi Aunty Silvia, Aunty Sophia!” Julian said happily.
Sophia smiled “hello Julian, sorry to interrupt-”
“-but we came to gave you a potion to remove a pesky mark” Silvia said as she handed Severus the potion.
“you just pour it over your mark and it will leave” Severus explained as he gave it to Lucius.
“I will try it after seeing what this school has to offer. What do I owe you?” Lucius asked.
“Severus made the offer meaning he is responsible for handling the payment” the twins said in perfect sync as they held Severus close.
For what ever reason the adults seemed to find his uncle’s friendship with his aunts fascinating and wanted to hear all the details so since they were too busy continue the tour Julian tried talking with Draco “hi, do you want to be friends?”
“my parents say people who talk to snakes are evil” Draco huffed turning his nose up at taller boy. It didn’t help that he was a bit jealous that Severus liked Julian more.
Tanzanite hissed ‘you nasty little human!’
‘it’s ok Tanzanite’ Julian said calming the occamy down even though what Draco said did hurt his feelings “I’m sorry, but I’m not evil. My Daddy says so and that those people were just mean” he said firmly making Draco look at him in confusion. His Daddy always says he is not a freak or any different than anyone else and he believed him. Julian also remembered that his Daddy said that if someone does say anything like that to him he should remember that he’s loved and to not take what that person says seriously because it’s not true “would you like to play with Mickey?” he offered pointing to the happy wolf plush rolling on the ground at their feet.
Draco blinked and looked at the plush “ok”
Brian sighed in relief as he saw the boys start playing, but noticed a look from Severus and the twins “he still remembers some things especially through his nightmares” he whispered not bothering to explain further for the confused Malfoy parents.
“will he ever forget?” Severus asked hoping that there was a chance the little boy didn’t have to live with the memories of such a terrible past.
Aster frowned “maybe, maybe not. We won’t know for sure until he’s older. Lets continue the tour. Come on boys!” she called out before Lucius could ask what it was they were talking about.
“yes lets” Brian said as he smiled down at his son feeling proud of the fact that Julian handled that so well on his own.
Sophia kissed Severus on his cheek just like her sister “Greg is here with Kathy if you want to talk with them. See you later Severus” she said with a smile as she left with her sister.
“that would be a good opportunity. Greg is the Deputy Headmaster and the DADA professor and Kathy is the Herbology professor” Brian said cheerfully and the tour continued.
It was amazing to see everything. Even Lucius had to admit they had everything Hogwarts had and then some. The choices of classes that were offered included Alchemy, basic Healing, Elemental training, an array of muggle classes and many others things. Though the muggle classes were not something the Malfoys cared for they had to admit they were needed for some especially when Severus reminded them of the alarming number of wizards who end up needing muggle jobs to make ends meet.
The two teachers they met were quite experienced and very good with kids. Greg Goldman was an older gentleman with very long white hair and a neatly trimmed bread. His posture was perfect, but while his slightly firm appearance might be considered intimidating for children. However kids couldn’t be scared of him because of his hair, which was charmed to do all sorts of things. A slew of bubbles came out his hair when Brian brought everyone to the DADA classroom. Kathy was a slim pixie like woman with green hair and her hive of child friendly bowtruckle familiars that apparently help her teach in the greenhouse.
As the group left what was the dining hall Narcissa sighed“you were right Severus. This school is far better equipped than Hogwarts, but I don’t understand how it is we are so far behind in these teachings” Narcissa said. It was baffling really. Arrogance is one thing, but to completely shut out the rest of the world is quite another.
“I think I know where the problem started” Severus said getting everyone’s attention “any evidence of this separation starts around the time of the First Wizarding war”
Brian frowned “Gellert Grindelwald … even we felt the effects of that war. It wouldn’t be a surprise at all if something happened around that time that caused a rift”
“or someone … it just so happens Dumbledore was the one who defeated that dark wizard and he gained a lot of influence in the magical world from it” Severus said and looked down to see Draco yawning as he held onto Mickey for support “I think it’s time to get you home” Lucius nodded and scooped up his son, but he saw Julian whisper some to the wolf plush and it ran over to the floo they were in “Julian gave Draco his plush” Severus commented as Lucius sent him a quizzical look before joining them.
When the floo took them back to the Malfoy Manor Lucius finally asked what was bothering him “what was that about earlier? Who hurt Julian?”
“the muggles he was abandoned with at one years old … Death Eaters would be sickened by what that child suffered through before Brian found and blood adopted him” Severus said simply not going into any further detail.
Narcissa sighed as Severus clearly refused to say more on the subject and took the sleepy child from her husband’s arms so he could try this potion. They watched silently as Lucius rolled up his left sleeve and poured the potion over the mark. He flinched as he felt a slight burning sensation, but it went away quickly clearly already doing its job. The dark mark first started to blur at the edges and slowly dissolved away.
“that settles it. Draco is going to Legerdemain Academy of Sorcery” Narcissa concluded as she saw her husband’s bare arm free of that hideous black mark. Severus snorted knowing they were going the second they read about Draco’s illness, but he just flooed away without commenting on it leaving the parents to tuck their son into bed for a nap.
“sleep tight little dragon” Lucius said and they left the room.
Draco curled up, but felt a weight next to him and saw the toy wolf laying next to him “maybe he’s not that bad” Draco muttered with a light blush as he hugged the soft toy close to him and drifted off to sleep …
XXXXXXXXXX
“are you sure you wanted to give Mickey away?” Aster asked as they walked to another floo.
Julian stroked Tanzanite’s scales “Draco liked him and Mickey has no feelings so I don’t mind. Tanzanite’s my friend”
‘and you are my only human’ Tanzanite hissed happily accidently tickling the boy’s neck forked tongue.
“that makes sense” Brian chuckled after they flooed home. It took a while for Julian to accept his powers and he will need more practice, but he can tell what’s important “I’m proud of you Julian. You handled yourself very well” Brian said as he picked up his son “how about we go on a small trip before school starts. Would seeing a beach down the ways be nice?”
Green eyes lit up “ok!” he exclaimed before holding the part of his blue shirt where the soul orb was against his skin. So far Severus has had know luck getting the main piece and final horcrux needed, but his ability to see auras can help! He knows his Daddy and Uncle wouldn’t want him to find the last two parts of Tom’s soul, but if he got stronger and smarter they can’t tell him he can’t go. Traveling like his Daddy will help him and school will help too.
Brian chuckled suspecting that his son wanted to help Tom Riddle, but he will make sure Julian doesn’t spend his life worrying about that one thing “alright we can try some camping too”
“don’t go overboard right before school you two” Aster warned with an amused smile as she flooed to her own home.
The summer flew by so fast it was almost a blur. Julian was taken to one of the islands off the coast so Gloria could swim along with them and later they went camping. It sparked the same love of travel Brian has in the little boy. By the time they returned from their mini trips it was time to celebrate Julian’s birthday. It was the first birthday he spent with his new family and it also served as a small celebration for Severus who received his master, but really he liked celebrating the week after his birthday. After all it was the day Brian saved him, which means only two weeks later was the day of the blood adoption. That day, however, landed on another important day … the first day of school …
Stephen smiled as a group of children came into his classroom carrying toys or had their familiars with them as instructed for the first day of class. Julian looked so much healthier and Tanzanite was flying around his head before settling down around the boy’s neck “hello everyone! Please have a seat on any cushion on the floor with your familiar or toy in your lap and get comfy. We are going to start learning about your magic today” he gave the kids a moment to settle down before plopping down on his larger cushion, which he found far more comfortable for this process “ok first, don’t worry about not having a little animal friend because part of this class will help you find one like I did with Nin” Stephen said and right on cue a big eyed Bush Baby dropped onto his head making the kids snicker “now we are going to start by getting in pairs and introducing each other. Then we will hold our partner’s hands and try to go into a relaxed state. When that’s done we’ll go over what we learned with this one test”
Julian looked around nervously, but saw Draco and Mickey without a partner and went over carrying his cushion “can we be partners?”
“yeah sure” Draco said indifferently. He didn’t show it, but Julian could tell he was happy …
