Chapter Text
After the feast, which consisted of Harry leaning in to Draco, trying to relax, which was difficult with the constant feeling of eyes on him, and Dobby trying to get him to eat, they escaped the Great Hall as quickly as they could.
They were lead to the Common Room, given the password, and sat waiting for Severus to come in and give his speech. Harry could hardly pay attention, he felt utterly drained from the experience in the Great Hall, and annoyed at the fact that Dumbledore had tried to enter his mind. Fawkes had told him who it was and had stuck close to Harry since it happened. Harry yawned loudly, causing Severus to raise an eyebrow at him and Draco to pull him close so Harry could rest his head on the blond's shoulder.
"I think we should call it a night, Prefects please see the first years to their rooms, I will take care of Lord Potter and Mr Malfoy." Harry smiled at his Uncle in relief as he stood with the help of Draco and Dobby and followed Severus to their room.
As he entered the room Fawkes squawked loudly, extremely agitated and angry. Harry backed out of the room slowly as Dobby started to de-spell the room. "What's wrong Harry?" Severus and Draco asked at the same time.
"Fawkes found a number of spells lacing the walls and furniture and there are living portraits in all the rooms. Dobby is getting rid of the spells and the portraits and Fawkes is cursing the old man for his ignorance. He believes that Dumbledore should have known that Fawkes could detect this stuff."
"What kind of spells are there, Harry?" Severus said through clenched teeth.
"Fawkes says there are monitoring charms, listening charms, compulsion spells activated by touch, which is why I backed out of the room. He said the portraits are linked to his office so he can be told who is visiting me and why the are in my room, if he is not around to listen." Harry paused for a moment and gasped as he listened to Fawkes. "It seems there was always a hidden passage available to the Headmaster so he could enter my chambers any time he liked. Dobby has spoken to other house elves and they have told him that every House has a room set up like that. It seems he took no chances and made sure that what ever house I was in I was monitored. Dobby said Hogwarts house elves are clearing them up now."
"What can we do about this, Uncle Sev?" Draco asked, as he held on to Harry tightly.
"Has Dobby got rid of everything, is it safe for you to enter?" Severus asked. Harry nodded and slowly walked into the room.
"Dobby has cleaned out all the spells and wards and removed the portraits and has cast a series of protective wards around the rooms, and doors. Nothing that isn't keyed in is getting in here. We are safe now."
"Okay, you get settled in and I'm going to go called Lucius and see what he thinks about this, I will need to get Sirius..." He had no sooner said it than both men were standing in front of him, letting go of Dobby's hand.
"What's going on?" Lucius asked as Sirius looked around the room. They were both filled in on what had been found and both swore rather colourfully.
"He's started already and Harry has only just arrived. First the mind reading attempt and now this. Sneaky old bastard." Sirius muttered.
"I think it's time we gave him a warning face to face. Harry, Draco, stay here and make sure the doors are warded. Severus, Sirius, let us go see the Headmaster." Lucius said.
"Dobby already warded the place so we will be fine now, Uncle Luc," Harry said as the man hugged him. Hugs were given all round and the three men left while Dobby was quietly unpacking for the boys. He seemed rather pleased with himself that he had prevented any harm to his Master Harry, but totally angry that someone had tried to harm his precious Master.
"I'm so tired, Draco and this hasn't helped at all, I think I'm going to take a quick bath and then crawl into bed."
"Okay, I'll take a bath after you, I'm rather tired as well."
As the boys were getting cleaned and ready for bed, Severus, Sirius and Lucius made their way to the Headmaster's office. Once they reached the gargoyle, Lucius waved his hand in front of it and it jumped to the side. A lovely little fact he had discovered this time around that was in the power of the School Governors, was they had immediate access to the school at all times, especially in emergencies.
They were not surprised to find Filius already there, since they had sent an elf to instruct the Professor to meet them. As they settled themselves, Filius was the one to ask, "What seems to be the matter," he turned to glare at the Headmaster, "besides the little bit of mind reading that was tried during the feast."
"I have no idea who could have been so cruel as to try that on a child, but there was no need to worry, Fawkes would not allow someone to gain access to his bondeds mind," the Headmaster said with a wave of his hand and a twinkle in his eye.
All four men in the room snorted at that comment, and Sirius muttered, "you probably should have remembered that before you attacked my son." Dumbledore glared but chose to ignore that remark. Sirius was just happy that the old coot thought it was Fawkes and not that all the kids' minds had been protected by Goblin magic.
"What brings you all into my office at this time of night?" he asked as he popped a lemon sherbet into his mouth, that damned twinkle back.
"Oh, not much," Lucius drawled casually, flicking imaginary fluff off of his pants as he crossed his legs, "just the little matter of someone spelling Harry's private quarters with all sorts of nasties and putting portraits in every room on every available surface. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that would you, Headmaster." The last word was dragged out making it sound like a dirty word. Dumbledore glared briefly, his face going stony and his eyes hard, until he quickly rearranged his features. Though it was too late, everyone in the room caught the coldness on his face.
"That is not good at all. I hope that the boy is well and nothing untoward happened to him." Albus replied, rather snidely.
"Oh he is perfectly fine. Whoever keeps trying these things seems to forget how protected he is. He has a lot of people around him keeping him safe from attacks like these. He was warned and the spells deactivated and portraits removed before he even stepped foot into the rooms, which have now been rewarded to allow only those on the list entry." The Headmaster was fuming that his plans had been foiled, but he still had an ace up his sleeve. They had not mentioned the hidden tunnel.
"Well," he said, a smile on his face, "I'm glad that it was taken care of, you can never be too careful with the Saviour of the Wizarding world.
"He is not the Saviour of anything, and you would do well to remember that, Headmaster. That so called Prophecy has already been fulfilled, so everything that you had planned means nothing. Stop interfering, we know it was you who did all those things, even if we can't prove it. You will not get near him and if you keep trying we will have you thrown out of the castle quicker than you can say Saviour. Are we understood, Albus." Lucius spat out his name and then turned on his heels, the rest following him out. He stopped at the door and turned to face the Headmaster, "oh and that little tunnel you made, that's now gone too. Stay away from him." And with that they all left the office.
They heard the sound of things breaking as they made their way down the stairs, getting the old man so angry, he couldn't hold it in. Lucius and Severus smirked as they made their way past the gargoyle.
After checking in on the boys, who were cuddled together, tucked up in bed, they all went to bed, hoping tomorrow would be better.
Things progressed rather quickly after that, and the weeks flew by, as Harry and his friends attended classes and meals in the Great Hall and would use the boys' room to study and for peace and quiet. They enjoyed their lessons in Potions with Uncle Severus and Defence Against the Dark Arts, with Harry's dad the most.
Harry was getting to know a lot of new people from all different houses and he, Draco and Hermione were competing to hold the number one spot for the first years. All in all Harry was having fun, even though he could feel eyes on him most of the time. He was rather creeped out by it and was contemplating have Dobby and Fawkes follow him around again, the only thing stopping him was the fact it had taken a little over two months for Dobby to stop in the first place. He knew Fawkes didn't mind because the Phoenix could find him, all he had to do was call for him.
Lucius sat in his and Severus' office on a Sunday afternoon, with Sirius, to discuss plans for the upcoming years. They had gotten rid of Quirrell early, so they did not have much to worry about this year, other than Dumbledore's plots.
"Next year was the Chamber of Secrets being opened," Lucius said, "we will need to deal with that Basilisk."
"We can do that without endangering the boys, we just need Harry to open the entrance, and conjure a rooster. Problem solved there. Then maybe we can have a hunt around the Chamber and see if there is anything of value there, also get the Basilisk rendered for ingredients and maybe even some amour." Severus added.
"Third year we don't have to worry about, considering I wont be breaking out of Azkaban, speaking of Azkaban, has anyone noticed if Peter the rat is with the Weasley kid?" Lucius shook his head no. "With everything that we have been doing the last ten years, it seems we forgot to keep an eye on the Weasley's to see if they acquired a pet rat."
"I have not even looked, I have to say. It may be a good idea to check though, it's just a matter of getting into the Gryffindor rooms, Sirius you would have more luck there, just tell Minerva that you feel nostalgic. Though you may want to call Remus to come with you, you know so you don't kill anyone." Severus laughed at the affronted look on Sirius' face.
"I have learnt to control my base emotions, thank you very much," he replied snootily, "but I shall bring Remus." Severus and Lucius held back their laughter at that.
"So third year we just have to look out for anything unexpected, but four is what bothers me. If we want to get Voldermort into a body we need to let what happened before happen again. But it breaks my heart to have to put him through that, especially since we had originally decided not to let him compete in the tournament. And again how with all the changes we have made can it happen. Maybe we need to leave the rat alone until third year then scare the crap out of him and let him escape?"
"Also we could have Fawkes flash him out after his blood is taken, so that he doesn't get tortured by Voldermort. This sucks." Sirius said, he hated this more than anything. But if they changed things too much they would have no idea how to get Voldermort corporal.
"How many Horcruxes do we have now?"
"The diary, the cup and the locket, we also heard from the Goblins that a ring was found and destroyed, and Harry's has been destroyed. And then there was Ravenclaw's diadem, that Dobby found in the Room of Requirement, last month, after Harry had told him to find other things to do. That would be six. And the piece that came out of Quirrell is floating around would be the last piece, I think that's all of them." Severus said.
"If that is truly the case, then we can finally get rid of Voldermort, using the TriWizard Tournament, we just have to make plans." Lucius said, feeling rather excited at the prospect of finally being rid of the monster, so they could concentrate on Dumbledore.
"Another added bonus is that Dumbledore will do all the hard work for us, in getting Harry entered into the tournament. It is Draco we will have to worry about though, his Veela will be very close to the surface and it might even push an early inheritance if his mate is in danger. He would usually come into his Veela legacy at sixteen, he will be fifteen during the final task of the tournament, just over a month before Harry. It could be a huge problem."
"There isn't much we can do about it, we just have to make it a part of our planning." Sirius said, with a sigh. "I'm just glad we have a few years to work this stuff out."
The school year plodded along, and it was rather relaxed, except for the few attempts the Headmaster made at trying to manipulate Harry, all of which were shut down rather effectively by either Dobby, who had the Hogwarts house elves on side, or Fawkes.
By the time the leaving feast came around, Slytherin was in the lead for the House Cup, and Harry and his friends were all ranked in the top ten for the first years, much to the annoyance of the Ravenclaws. Even Neville was exceeding all expectations.
Severus was a little annoyed that Harry hadn't gotten onto the quiddich team but they knew the Headmaster would interfere with that so he begrudgingly had to wait till next year. It was one of the things he was really looking forward to, having Harry on the Slytherin team meant the cup was going to be with Slytherin house for a long long time. He felt a little bit sorry for Minerva, but it never lasted long, all he had to do was remember that she would have left Harry with the Dursleys too, given the chance.
The train ride was uneventful. Not even Ron Weasley tried to bother them this time. He had been put in his place often enough at school, which Dobby enjoyed doing. Harry thought his elf took too much pleasure out of annoying the boy. The only big thing that stood out during the year was Sirius confiscating his map back from the twins. They were caught between devastated at the loss of their treasure, to awe at being taught by an original Marauder. They had gotten close to Harry when they had discovered that not only was Sirius his new dad but James Potter had been a Marauder as well, to the twins, Harry was an offspring of legends.
Harry figured it was why Ron had all of a sudden stopped being such a douche bag, well that and Dobby's interference. Dobby seemed to be responsible for stopping a lot of the bullying against Slytherin first years. Harry was sure that having Fawkes helped a lot too.
While he had had an eventful first year, he was looking forward to being at home again.
When the train came to a screeching stop on platform 9 and ¾ Hermione was most anxious to get off. She had not seen her parents since Christmas and she missed them terribly. So she was rushing her friends along trying to get them to move faster. Dobby had taken Hermione, Draco and Harry's belongings straight back to Potter Manor before the train had even left the station, and Hedwig had decided to fly back herself, after she had preened Harry and told him to be safe. Fawkes had just flashed back to the Manor and was currently sleeping on his perch in Harry's favourite room.
Dobby forced Hermione to calm down, "it is not being safe for you to be rushing around like that Miss Grangy, you must be waiting for Dobby to make sure there is not danger." Hermione sighed before apologising to the little elf, and waited until Dobby said it was clear for them to leave. He walked in front of the group and had a protective bubble around them, just to be safe.
Neville, Pansy and Blaise were used to this, and quietly chuckled at all the people staring. Harry just took it in his stride and was oblivious to the attention as he, Draco and Hermione were in deep conversation about what they would do for the summer. The group had just made it onto the platform, and Hermione was waving at her parents, when they all stumbled as a strong wave of magic hit Dobby's shield. Squeals were heard throughout the station as people scattered, the next moment, Fawkes had flamed in and removed the adults from the scene, including Severus and Sirius, and Neville, Pansy and Blaise's families, while Dobby quickly popped the kids back to Potter Manor.
"What the bloody hell was that," Sirius screamed as he rushed over to where the children had popped into.
"No idea," Harry said, shaking slightly as Draco clung to him, "but whatever it was, was strong enough to almost pierce Dobby's shield, and thank Merlin he is so overprotective or who knows what would have happened."
"It was magics to knock out and transport, Master Harry, it would have made us all unconscious and taken us all in the blast radius to some place else," Dobby said as he clung to his Master Harry.
Hermione rushed to her parents arms and was crying from the shock of the attack, and the others were soon being hugged by their relatives. "What ever that was, you can be damned sure that I will get to the bottom of it," Augusta Longbottom stated while she held on to her grandson.
"The Auror's are at the train station investigating the attack now, and Cornelius and Amelia will be coming to see us to let us know what they found out as soon as they have the results," Lucius said as he strutted into the room, his face alight with anger. Narcissa in the mean time had taken the boys and was hugging them within an inch of their lives.
"Mother, I can't breath," Draco said as he tried to pull himself and Harry out of her grasp. The term Mother, from Draco, reminded Narcissa that they had company and she released the boys after one last squeeze and a kiss to both their foreheads, much to the boys embarrassment.
"Dobby can you get the children some hot chocolate and cookies," Narcissa asked, and Dobby popped off to get it and then settled the children down at the table. "Dipsy," she then called, and had the little elf bring her some tea for the adults, though Sirius soon asked for something stronger.
"I wonder if Dumbledore was stupid enough to try again," Lucius said as Severus closed the door to the room so the children couldn't hear them talking.
"It could have been some of his Order members, you know he has been telling them that Sirius and Remus have been brain washed by Death Eaters, even us parading down Diagon Alley with short sleeves, baring our arms has done little to dissuade the hard core believers of Dumbledores," Severus sneered as he made himself some tea with a generous splash of fire whiskey.
"Do you have names of these members," Amelia asked as she came through the door, catching the last part of the conversation. She knew damn well that they weren't Death Eaters, at least this time. She still had trouble associating the memories with the men that she knew in this time line.
"We are unsure of all of them, but we know a few names. Dedalus Diggle, Elphias Doge, Aberforth Dumbledore, Mundungus Fletcher, Minerva McGonagall, Alastor Moody, Sturgis Pudmore, Emmeline Vance, they are a few that we know of for sure, I think he will find it hard to recruit more members with all the articles that have come out about his deceit, but those are the ones we believe have stayed loyal to the man. We also believe he may be trying to recruit Aurors, such as Kingsley Shacklebolt and Nymphdora Tonks, but we are certain that Tonks will not join him, but unsure of Shacklebolts loyalties." Severus said.
"I will make sure I keep an eye out for him, and the others that are in the Ministry. Moody can be dangerous and fanatical when he believes in a cause, he could be as big a problem as Dumbledore himself. We were unable to trace the magical signatures, since there was so much magic used on the platform after the initial attack, but we are pretty sure it was more than one assailant. We are just unsure whether it was the Order or Death Eaters."
"We have been keeping an eye on all the Death Eaters we remember, some have gone underground, but a few have tried to approach us and have been rebuffed so we could have been targeted by them. It's hard to tell who would do it, since both sides would not be opposed to hurting innocent people to achieve their goals."
"Well I am just glad Harry has such devoted family members and a very clear house elf." Cornelius said as he sipped his tea, "I am not sure anyone would be able to get close to the boy or his friends with that Dobby around," the Minister finished with a smile.
He had done a lot during his time as Minister in helping their cause, he had even made reform for Magical Creatures. Remus had all the rights of any other witch or wizard. It had taken years for Fudge to get the reforms passed, but with the help of Lucius and Sirius, that had been made law during the school year, and now Remus would be able to work anywhere. It just so happened that Binns was forced to 'retire' and they now needed a new History of Magic teacher."
They also have people watching Barty Crouch Snr. closely, making sure that Jnr. stayed were he was until he was needed for the TriWizard Tournament. They had argued for weeks about this, and gone back and forth until they had decided that the only way they could know for sure that Voldermort would show up and become corporal so they could end this, was if they let things play out, much to their own heartache. It was also another reason why they conveniently forgot about the rat.
The children spent their time speculating, while waiting on the adults to finish their conversation. "I wonder what Minister Fudge and Auror Bones found out?" Hermione asked as they watched the two enter the room the adults were holed up in. Harry shrugged his shoulders as he munched on a cookie, he loves Libby's cookies. Draco smiled at Harry before turning his attention to Hermione.
"Who knows, I'm just thankful for Dobby," he said smiling at the elf in question, who had just popped back in after putting away the boys and Hermione's things. He knew that either Tilly or Lolly would take care of it, but he liked to do most things for Harry.
"Dobby needs to be with his Master Harry at all times when he is out of Potter Manor." Dobby said before he popped away again to do who knew what. It had taken Dobby a while to leave Harry's side, the little elf found it easier to do so inside the wards of the Manor.
The rest of the holidays were pretty uneventful, since they kids were only allowed to move between Potter and Malfoy manor, and had to stay within the wards at all time. Harry and the others were wondering how they were going to get their school supplies from the Alley, but one thing was for sure, the children refused to stay home. This time they were going to get their own things.
