Chapter XI

–Dorea Potter–

Tuesday, September 03, 1991

To say that Ron had reacted well would be an insult to the world itself, Ron had completely freaked out; he had paled, stopped breathing and - by the time Harry tried to make him breathe again – he had passed out cold.

Nagini had, apparently, found it amusing and had even requested to feed on the funny human. Harry had to contain his shiver and reassure himself that Nagini was there to protect him. In the end, Harry missed the History class as the ghost professor had sent him and Neville to take Ron to the infirmary. As Harry predicted, Lord Erioth and Dumbledore were still arguing while Lord Tuomas, Remus and Severus were seated on a bed looking bored. Well, Remus looked more amused than bored.

Lord Tuomas looked at the trio, when they entered, calling: "Severus."

Severus looked at Harry and sneered, as he approached.

"What class did you have?" he drawled, helping the boys to lay the boy on a bed.

"History." Harry answered, which made the three adults raise an eyebrow. "It's her fault." He said pointing at Nagini, while Nagini pointed her tail at Harry, hissing –It's his fault!–

–CT–

Tuomas raised an eyebrow at both the boy and the snake. Less than half an hour and his friend was already corrupted.

"How about you tell everything, Harry?" Remus requested.

"Ron, apparently, still remembers the snake's and red eyed man's attack. As I do. "

Severus sneered. "Panic attack then."

Tuomas looked at Salazar, making sure that the headmaster hadn't heard. Dumbledore would use the second manic attack as an excuse to banish Nagini from the grounds and he needed her with the boy – the same boy that was leaving with Longbottom while arguing with Nagini about his inability of tasting the air. A exchange of glances with icy blue eyes told him that Salazar had heard as well.

–If you can taste grass all the way up here, you have to be able to teach your tongue to…– Tuomas couldn't hear more, but it was enough.

–The brat can smell with his tongue. He's still learning, but apparently he can smell grass from here, even with the closed windows and the three floors separating them.– he hissed so low that only a vampire could hear him. –Father?– Salazar traded his eyes from Dumbledore to Tuomas for a mere second, never stopping their arguing. –Is it possible that the brat is turning into a snake hybrid or…?–

Salazar hissed and turned his back at Dumbledore and, approaching Tuomas, the older vampire said; "We wasted long enough. Mr. Black, would you escort us to the gates? I would like to go home and have a cup of tea. Tuomas, my boy, come. We may have lost a specimen but I'm sure you will talk with your old students in order for me to keep tabs on Just Harry." –We'll talk after we inform Potter.– the man said leaning on Tuomas for support while walking.

Why does the man have to pretend that he is lame? It's not like he even got an accident that damaged his leg or spine…

As they walked to the gates no one spoke, but after they left the school grounds Remus finally asked; "Is Harry in danger?"

Tuomas looked at his old student in silence, after a while he nodded.

"The red eyed man and snake found him, and found out that he's alive." Remus tensed. "Tell Severus I want the samples of the poison he took from the boy at the time. We also want blood taken now."

Remus nodded and with a signal of Tuomas he turned and returned to Hogwarts.

"At what time do your classes start?"

Tuomas looked at his sire.

"After lunch, my father."

The man nodded and they apparated to Potter Manor where they informed both Potter and Black of the circumstances. (*)

At Blackthorn castle the two sat down in Salazar's office. Tuomas staying by the window to look outside.

–I can't be sure what he is turning into until I check him and his blood.– his father finally answered his previous questions.

Tuomas let his forehead fall on the window glass, closing his eyes, not caring that his father was seeing it.

"It's my fault. If I hadn't ran away with him…" In an instant a hand was on his shoulder.

"Tuomas… don't…" Tuomas was going to counter when the hand on his shoulder clenched hard. Tuomas had to contain the moan of pain. "Even if you hadn't helped him he would have found a way to do it. And if it was on purpose he would be here showing-off. I don't know with you, but with me he was always showing me off."

"But I did help. Even if I destroyed the lab something must have remained… it's partly my fault."

"Look at me, Tuomas Salazar!"

Tuomas couldn't help the flinch at the cold tone.

October, 1991

–Let's make a deal.–

Harry groaned looking at the snake. It had been a month and Harry was already dead tired of her insistences about snake teaching.

–What would it be?–

–You arrange a hour a day for my teaching and I'll tell you all the dirt I have on my master.–

Harry's eyes widened.

–All of it?– he asked to make sure and the snake nodded. –Very well, we have a deal.–

The snake snickered.

–Looks like I found your weak point, hatchling.–

Harry blushed.

–Shut up and start hissing.– Harry was sure that if the snake could raise her eyebrow she would have just done it. –Besides,– Harry started trying to avoid the awkwardness at his outburst, –what else could you offer me in return?–

The snake stayed in thought and Harry took advantage of it to start on his potion essay, Severus was going to have his head.

–The location of the philosopher's stone.–

Harry froze, making Ron and Hermione look at him with raised eyebrows.

–What did you say?– he hissed. The snake left his shoulder and slithered away. Harry stood. –Hey. You can't just say that and walk away! ISIS!– he could hear the snake laugh as she disappeared inside a hole in the wall of the Gryffindor's common room.

"Mate?" Ron asked worriedly.

Harry looked at his remembering where he was and sat, blushing. Everyone in common room was looking at him amused.

"Damn snake." He mumbled.

"What did Isis do this time?" Hermione asked, not taking her eyes from her essay.

"She taunted me about knowing where some stone is and then just left." Harry groaned and glared at his essay.

"Bloody hell, mate. You spend more time arguing with and about Isis than Hermione spends studying… and that is saying something." Harry and Hermione went deep red. "It's creepy, mate."

Not knowing how to answer that Harry turned back to the essay, suddenly finding it very appealing.

–CT–

–Tell me about Gandr's master.–

–Freek Abraham Kadouch, that is the name he uses. I don't know if he hatched with that name.– Harry nodded, looking at the ceiling of his four posted bed, while Nagini lay on his chest. –He is a vampire and he raised master's hatcher. I don't know about that time but Freek became infatuated with the Parseltongue gene and tried to reproduce it. When master was in his 30's, Freek reappeared. There was a fight between Freek and Erioth and in the end master followed Freek. I don't know much but since then master and master's hatcher weren't the same. Freek is a monster who broke my master and now he wants you.–

Harry eyes widened.

–You called Freek your master's mate?–

–They mated when master followed him… but since master returned they have not seen each other again… since your hatchers hatched.–

December, 1991

Harry took his wand out and took a deep breath. He couldn't believe he had let Nagini persuade him into this.

"Alohomora."

Harry entered the third floor left corridor's room. Hearing a roar Harry looked up, only to see a three headed dog. Harry raised an eyebrow.

–Siriously, that's the best they got?–

Harry could hear Nagini shivering inside his robes. Taking a deep breath, Harry had never been so happy about those singing lessons his mother had forced him to attend, and started to sing, making the dog fall asleep. Harry approached the trap-door on the floor and pushing the paw away, never stopping with singing, he entered the trap-door. Falling on something he immediately recognized the trap-plant.

"Lumos Solemn."

Harry heard Nagini snicker, while Harry walked to the next door and trying to clean the dirt away.

–Shut up. It's your fault I'm here.–

–Wait.– Harry stopped by the door and Nagini's head appeared out of his robe collar with her mouth open her tongue flicking out rapidly towards the right of the door. Harry frowned but mimicked her. –There's a passageway there.–

Concentrating, Harry tasted it also and approached the the wall and searched it until he found a stone that was loose, opening a part of the wall. Harry entered into a corridor and the stone door closed again, behind him. Harry walked the entire corridor and at the end looked for another stone door, which gave him entrance into a large room. It was empty except for a mirror. Harry approached warily. In the mirror appeared his mirror image and a red haired girl with hazel eyes who was hugging his arm. He frowned, looking to his left he saw nothing. Looking again in to the mirror, there she was. She was nine and looked a lot like…

Harry eyes widen, sitting on the floor facing the mirror. The girl laid down on the floor with her head on his lap.

"Sister?"

The hazel eyes, so alike their father, shined and a smile, so alike Harry's one, grew on his sister's face, while she nodded. Harry closed his eyes to control his tears. He didn't want his sister's first look of him to be one when he'd be in tears. Opening his eyes she was on her knees looking worried with her hand on his shoulder.

"Sorry Dorea. I'm just happy to meet you at last, don't worry. It's nothing to worry yourself over."

Little Dorea nodded and smiled, placing her head on his shoulder. Harry couldn't help but smile.

–CT–

Nagini slithered back to the DADA's classroom as fast as her small body could. Something was wrong with hatchling, she needed master.

When master saw her slither inside the classroom he ordered everyone to leave the room at once and, when everyone left, he went to pick her up.

–What happened? Did Gandr…?–

–We went to a room where there is a mirror. Hatchling started calling it sister and Dorea…–

–Guide me.–

Nagini nodded and pointed and her master went.

–CT–

Tuomas frowned as he entered the third floor corridor. What were Potter and Nagini doing there?

–You open the door and sing to the dog after which it will fall asleep. The next is a plant afraid of light.–

Tuomas raised an eyebrow at the snake and then transfigured a stone into a harp, spelling it to play and passed the dog and the devils' snare, entering a passageway Nagini pointed out.

Potter was just sitting there, facing the mirror of Erised and smiling at it. Passing a hand over his face, Tuomas sighed before approaching the boy, picking him up and walking away.

Never once he did he look in the mirror. He didn't desire to know what he desired most, because he already suspected what it was.

–CT–

Dorea smiled at Harry and took a necklace from around her neck and put it around Harry's neck and Harry felt the heaviness of the necklace suddenly falling on his neck. His eyes grew wide. Dorea steamed up the mirror and with her finger she wrote;

It's our secret, big brother.

Harry smiled and with that he was taken away, the philosopher's stone around his neck.

Hi,

So by your choice Nagini is going to be called Isis,

Hope you liked Dorea. And that it was worth the wait, it had been difficult to start this chapter and she wasn't supposed to appear, she just suddenly decided that she needed to reappear in Harry's life. Maybe she'll return later, who knows? ;P

Don't forget to read and review Family Issues. the one-shots are a part of this story, so it should be read as a whole.

Hope you liked it, please review!
