Early morning came quick with an annoying beep of an alarm. Harry sighed as he hit the off switch before stretching, popping his joints. Blinking the sleep from his eyes, he smiled at the small ball of blonde fur that was curled up tightly against his side. He had thought that gaining Mika as a familiar was no more than a dream. He curled up around the small pup, gently rubbing his ears, "Mika, I'm going to get a shower, then we will get ourselves something to eat. Alright?"
The wolf pup stretched, all four of his paws reaching straight out from his body as he woke slightly from his Alpha's voice, "Yes Alpha." The pup yawned as he snuggled back down into the remaining warmth, falling back asleep.
Harry smiled as he slid out of bed, pausing to grab a clean pair of trunks from his dresser on his way to the bath. After relaxing under the hot spray from his shower, Harry quickly toweled himself dry before slipping on his underwear. Making his way back out to the bedroom, he dropped his towel, along with his pajams into the hamper just outside the bathroom door. Smiling at the small bundle on his bed as he watched Mika's legs twitch as if chasing rabbits in a dream. He chuckled quietly to himself as he started to get ready for the day.
Walking to his wardrobe he took several moments to decide on what he was going to wear. After looking over everything he pulled a pair of black silk dress pants, a black vest, a navy blue dress shirt and a silver tie. Quickly dressing, he sat on the bed pulling on a pair of black dress sock and his dragonhide boots before leaning over his companion, "Mika, time to get up Little One."
Bright blue eyes opened slowly as the pup grumbled and stretched before sitting up in front of Harry.
With a small smile, the elf picked Mika up, giving him a small cuddle before setting him on the floor, "Our first rule of the pack; you may go anywhere in these rooms without me. Outside these rooms, I will carry you until you are older and larger. I worry that you may get lost or hurt if left to your own devices." Harry led them both to the small kitchenett, reaching down to scratch his friends before browsing his cupboards, "How does some steak and eggs sound to you?"
Mika grinned as his tongue lolled out the side of his mouth, while his whole body was wriggling, "Yummy!"
Harry chuckled as the pup started to bounce in place, obviously Mika was either hungry or really excited at the prospectof steak and eggs. What ever it was, Harry thought it was adorable, "Dobby?"
The House elf in question appeared before Harry, "What can Dobby be doing for Mr. Harry Potter Sir?"
With a smile at the over exuberant house elf, Harry knelt down next to him, "If it wouldn't be too much trouble, could you bring me a cubed raw steak and a couple of raw eggs for me? Perhaps a contain to keep it could throughout the day aw well? My familiar is too young to hunt on his own."
Dobby nodded at Harry, his ears flopping softly, "Of course Harry Potter Sir! Dobby will be doing it right away." With a snap of his fingers, Dobby disappeared for a moment only ro return with a large plate filled with steack, several raw eggs and a large glass jar.
Harry nodded his thanks to Dobby before he set a small portion of the steak into a bowl, then craked and egg over the meat. He mised the meat and egg together before setting it down in front of his eager companion, "Go ahead and eat. When you are finished we will make our way down to the dungeons for my class."
Mika yipped softly in agreement before his buried his head in the bowl, rumbling quietly at the tast of the food.
Chuckling at his companion, Harry packed up the remaining steak and eggs into the cold charmed glass. He wandered about the room, gathering all of his paperwork and notes from his desk. He summoned his messenger bag, double checking everthing inside. Muttering softly to himself as he began a triple check, "Gloves? Check. Apron? Check. Stirring rods? check. Notes?" He opened the drawer of his desk, pulling out all of the notebooks and thaking care as he slipped them into his bag. After his third time tripple checking everything, harry looked over at his companion and smiled, "Mika, you have some of the egg on the tip of your nose."
With a quick swipe of the tongue, the remaining yolk was devoured. Mika perked his ears up looking over at Harry, "Alpha? Why did you not eat?"
Looking up from his bag to his companion, Harry smiled, "I guess I was worried about your food and my day before my stomach." He summoned ann apple from the counter, making sure to take a large bite out of it. Slipping his bag over his shoulder, Harry picked up Mika, spelling the bowl clean before picking it up as well and stuffing it into his bag. He pulled a Navy robe from the tack before he left the room, draping it over his arm.
They made their way down to the dungeons only running into some straggling Slytherins. The children scurried past him as he made is way towards the kitchens, stopping only to get something a little more substantial than just an apple.
After politely declining several plated of food, he settled on a small plate of poached eggs, roast and some hash. As soon as the plate was placed in front of him, he began to devout everthing on the plate.
As Harry and Mika made their way into the potions lab, Harry paused when he saw an extra work table off to the side of the room. Sighing softly, he set his robe to the side and pulled out his notebooks, carefully setting them on the table. Making sure everything was set up the way he wanted, he pulled a piece of paper from his notebook and transfigured the piece of paper into a small bed for the pup.
Mika paced his way around the table, "Alpha? Why does this room have all these funny smells? Can I go look around? Pleeease?"
Harry chuckled, "I'm not sure that is a good idea. You may stay on the table for now. I have created a bed for you so you can nap." He gently scrubbed the pup's ears, "That man in black will be here soon. The sick wold told him about you. I do not want you to get in his way. He may look mean, but he protects the pups of the school. Understand?"
Mika yipped in agreement, "When can I look around the room?"
Smiling softly at the inquisitive nature of his companion, "When the day is done, or perhaps during the lunch period. I can only let you wander when I know for a fact that there aren't any students going to be appearing in the room randomly."
Mika yipped again and wriggled in his spot.
Harry chuckled and looked over the table before summoning all of his supplies and his cauldrons, "Let me know if you need to go an relieve yourself at any time."
Mika nodded as he looked down at the table, "I need to go."
Harry chuckled and nodded, "Alright, let me just leave a note for the man in black." As quick and as legibly as he could, Harry wrote a note to Snape, letting the dour man know where he was and why he was not there. He carefully picked up Mika, before he warded the table against students and their ilk.
Jogging through the corridors, making sure not to bump into any of the students, Harry finally made it outside. He set Mika down in the grass, "Please try and give me a bit more warning next time, yeah?"
When Mika finished he trotted over to Harry, "I'm sorry. I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do."
Harry smiled as he picked up the pup, "That would be my fault. We didn't go over that this morning or last night."
Mika yipped before licking up the side of Harry's face, "Back to the room of smells?"
With a small smirk, Harry raced down the stairs to the potions lab, skidding to a halt just outside the door. He smiled inwardly as he saw the door was still open and the first years from Slytherin and Ravenclaw were chattering amongst themselves. He took a deep breath as he quickly strode across the room over to his table, "Mika, don't interfere with the other pups. I know you want to play, but they need to learn. After class, I will play with you for however long you want."
Mika odded as he turned his glowing blue eyes to survey each of the children before laying down in his transfigured bed, "I'm hungry again."
Harry chuckled as he pulled the bowl and container out from his bag, setting it up for Mika, "Now take it slow. I can always get more."
Mika made a small growl of agreement as he started munching.
As soon as the pup had started to eat his second breakfast, Snape entered the room. Harry slowed his movements on his own bench as he fought hard not to smile as the potions master gave an almost exact opening speechto the new students as he himself heard when he first started at Hogwarts. Watching as Snape began quizzing the young students over ingredients from their books. He knew that the class period would take roughly a half an hour before he would be able to ask the man anything.
Sighing softly he pulled out a potions book as he tried to look for a way to substitute several ingredients with ones that were less costly or easier to find.
Throughout the remainder of the day, Harry was brewing the original version of the Wolfsbane potion for his godfather, also proving to Snape that he was at least competent. As the last class before lunch was drawing to a close, Harry left the potion to mature for three days only to be stirred every fourth hour. He cracked his neck before he began to clean up his station, making sure all the ingredients were put back in the correct place.
Mika who had been napping on and off throught the morning, stretched before he sat up looking over at Harry, "Why is the Dark Man mean to the pups?"
Smiling at his furred friend, "He is an Alpha just like me. He must look after the pups of this pack."
Mika nodded as he watched the pups of the class work around their cauldrons. As this continued Harry turned his attention to his table and notes, making sure that his observations were documented before putting them away, "Alpha, I need to go outside."
Nodding, Harry scratched the pup's ears, "Can you hold it a little longer? I need to speak with the Dark Man." Harry stood and made his way over to the professor's desk, "Excuse me Professor."
Snape looked up from grading the summer essays, the ever presents sneer on his face, "Yes Apprentice?"
Bowing his head slightly, "I ask to be excuused to aid my familiar. The young pup has never been on his own before and is too small to traverse the hallways alone."
Snape looked over at the work table he had set up for the young elf, "I shall look over your potion while you are gone. Leave your notes on the table." He glanced back at the elf with with his eyebrow raised, "Perhaps you should hurry." The dour man glanced back at the work table where Mika was pacing back and forth, "We will discuss your progress after class."
Harry nodded as he left the potions master, slipping on his navy robe before picking up the pup.
As Harry was outside with his familiar, a snarky potions master was making his rounds around the room. The students were working on Veritaserum and was thankful that with the mixed class of NEWT students and that Neville Longbottom was no longer one of his students.
The young elf returned to the potions lab with his small blonde bundle in tow. He checked over his potion before setting Mika down, "Alright pup, we are almost done for the day. Then it is nonstop play time all around."
The pup nodded as he settled back down on his bed. Harry chuckled as he pressed a kiss to the pup's forehead before he went over to the sinks, pulling the cauldrons from the previous class and giving them a thorough scrub while he was waiting for his potion.
Snape watched from the desk as the bane of his existance was willingly scrubbing cauldrons and it confused him. Making his way over to his apprentice, "It is not necessary for you to clean the caulrons. The students that are being punished during detention will clean those."
Harry smiled soflty, "I understand that but I am waiting for the four hours to be up so I can stir the potion sir. I hatte to be left without something to do.
As the brunette turned his attention back to the cauldrons and began scrubbing once more, the onlder man nodded, "Do not disrupt the rest of my classed for the day." The onlder man sneered at his apprentice before stalking off across the room to his desk to work on the rest of his markings before the end of the lunch period and his next class.
The last class had finally drawn to a close as Harry set the last of the first year cauldrons on the floor by the sinks. He stood up straight and cracked his neck, leaning back and popping his back before he muttered to himself, "Didn't know it was the Slytherin and Gryffindor class." He made his way back over to his desk pausing to dry his hands on a small cloth before he sat down trying his best to relax the muscles in his shoulders and back.
As he looked over the class he saw Hermione and Ron. He was surprised after last year with Slughorn that the redhead even managed to pass the exam at the end of the year. He hadn't given the pair the time of day last night instead he opted for a night in trying his best to make a break through on his potion to cure or null the negative effect on lycanthopy.
Harry looked at the small timer on his table and estimated he still had a few minutes before it ran out and he had to stir it. He groaned softly as he rolled his shoulders, popping them both just as Snape was dismissing the class.
"Bottle a sample and place them on my desk. Clean up your stations then leave." The dour man glanced over the class as he pulled several different stacks of essays to his desk, marking them for a moment as the students quickly obeyed his instructions.
He nodded to the few Slytherins and all but ignored the Gryffindors as they passed in their potions. All of the students had cleaned up their area except for Ron and Hermione who seemed to be deliberately taking their time. He snarled at the thought of them spending extra time in his classroom even if it was just to talk to the remaining member of the so called "Golden Trio." The man took a deep breath as he gathered his papers before leaving the class room with a small parting instruction to Harry, "Make sure the classroom is back to rights and all the cauldrons are cleaned before you leave."
Harry nodded as he looked over at the man, "Yes Professor."
Ron and Hermione watched with baited breath as their friend agreed with the professor without throwing out any sort of attitude, just simple acquiescence. Ron knew that cleaning cauldrons was not a fun job for anyone to handle alone, yet his best mate just accepted the chore with no problem.
The redhead turned scarlet as he looked over at his long time friend, "Mate? What the bloody hell was that all about? Why did you agree with the Greasy Git so quickly?"
Harry sighed and shook his head, "Ron, drop it."
Hermione turned to Harry, "Harry, we are worried about you. You aren't like you were at the end of term last year."
Harry glanced down at his timer as he started to mix it in a figure eight pattern, "I've grown up. I need to focus on more important things than Quidittch or even the on going feud between Malfoy and myself."
Ron bristled at the mention of Malfoy, "So you are just going to roll over and let the git do whatever he wants to the rest of us?"
Harry switched the stirring to run backwards, "If you would actually use your brain for once Ronald Billius Weasley instead of jumping to conclusions that everyone is against you."
Harry didn't think it was possible for Ron to turn any more red but he saw that it was possible as the ginger teenager turned to a lovely shade of puce. Hermione cut in before her boyfriend could say anything, "What happened to you Harry? Have you abandoned everything you stood for? Have you left the people that care about you behind?"
Ron growled from the other side of the table as he slammed his fist down onto something soft and fluffy, followed by a loud high pitched yelp.
Harry immediately snapped his wrist forward as he wandlessly cast a Reducto at Ron, sending his once friend across the room, "HOW DARE YOU?!" The young elf's body was shimmering in rage at the attack on his familiar. As his magic began to crackle around him, tendrils of the magic were lashing out at the two Gryffindors still in the room. When he spoke to them his voice was barely above a whisper, "Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger, from this point on you two are dead to me. If any lasting harm has fallen upon Mika I will kill you as most assuredly I will kill Voldemort."
With each word Harry's magic lashed out causing the pair of Gryffindors to scream in pain as he was returning the harm that was dealt to his familiar.
Snape was grading the fourth year essays when he heard screaming from his classroom. The dark man was on his feet, wand drawn, and rushing out the door within two shakes of a lamb's tail.
When he entered his classroom he saw the two students on the floor screaming in pain and his apprentice holding the wolf pup close to his chest, cradling the pup as it whimpered. He knew there was little he could do to ease the pain of his students while Potter was angry. Casting a shield charm on himself as he approached the angered elf, "Potter! Calm yourself and take the pup to Hagrid. I will deal with them. They are to go to Madame Pomfrey then they will have to explain what happened."
Harry seemed to relax slightly as the tendrils of his magic pulled back from the pair. His only concern was for Mika. The pup was young and something like this could damage him irrevocably. With his focus shifting between Mika and Snape, "They need to stay away from me and Mika." He carefully shifted his friend in his arms, "Both of you had better pray to the gods that he survives."
The young man rushed out of the dungeons, careful not to jostle his friend too much. As he jogged through the halls he was met at the great doors, he was met by Blaise Zabini, "Harry?"
The caramel skinned wizard chased after Harry, "Harry? What happened?" The young Slytherin heard the words of Mika, attacked, hurry. Realizing that the small bundle in the elf's arms must be the Mika as he jogged next to the elf, "Don't worry Harry, I'm sure everything will be alright."
Harry nearly broke down the door of Hagrid's hut trying to get the half giant to hurry, "Please Hagrid! OPEN THE DAMN DOOR!"
Mika whimpered again as he looked up at his Alpha, "I hurt Alpha."
Harry looked down at his charge, "I am so sorry Little One. I would never have let you in the classroom."
Hagrid opened the door and looked down at Harry and the small wolf pup in his arms, "Harry? What's goin' on? What 'appened to yer pup?"
Harry struggled to breath as he looked down at the pup in his arms, "Ron slammed his fist into him while he was laying on the desk." He gently scrubbed the pup's ear as he turned his tear streaked face up to Hagrid, "What do I do to help him?"
Hagrid sighed softly as he guided Harry in the door of his hut, while Blaise Zabini sat outside on the steps leading into the half giant's home.
As Hagrid bound the small pup's back leg with great care, "Harry, the elves can see the damage an' mend it. They 'ad a way ter do it. I think they just took 'old of either side o' the wound and mended it."
Harry nodded as he wiped the tears from his eyes with the back of his hand, "Alright. I'll try." Harry closed his eyes as he pressed his head against Mika's, "I'm going to try and heal you Little One. Tell me if I hurt you too much okay?"
Mika nodded, "Yes Alpha."
A/N: Sorry for the delay, I know that both my beta and I both shed a few tears while we read/wrote this.
Tell me what you think and hopefully I will get the next chapter out sooner. I would hate to leave you guys with a cliffy like that. Just when things start to get seriously Sirius.
