(I’m thinking)
“I’m speaking”
Pairing: Yaoi M/M, Harem – top Harry x bottom de-aged Severus / Tom / Lucius
Last Time:
The results are in …
Dumbledore, the leader of the light, has four horcruxes …
XXXXXXXXXX
Myrtle frowned in concern “so we only have three ideas for what the four horcruxes are, but none found. We knew this wouldn’t be easy … Tom?” the ghost smiled softly as her friend paced the under ground chamber hidden in Hogwarts. For the last few years Tom has been coming through the Vanishing cabinets and visiting her and Debora down in the Chamber of Secrets. Lately he has become quite worried and it’s easy to understand why. After all none of Dumbledore’s horcruxes have been found, but Harry just received his letter for Hogwarts …
“what am I supposed to do Myrtle? I refuse to let Harry anywhere near that manipulative bastard, but … but it’s his schooling” Tom sighed as he sat down on the tip of the basilisk’s tail.
Debora raise her scaly head and gently nuzzled Tom’s head, which took great care considering her great size ‘you must let him go, but remember he’ll be safe here’
“safe? From Dumbledore? There’s no such thing” Tom groaned in worry for his future lover.
“she’s right Tom” Myrtle said as she floated over to him. Apparently once you die you can understand all languages including parseltongue, which is why Myrtle could understand what Debora told Tom “Harry is safer here than you think. Both Debora and I won’t let a thing happen to him. Now I only have a week or so before Dumbledore refreshes the spell so he can keep track of the conversations I have so lets review and think carefully”
Tom sighed “fine … from what we can conclude. Dumbledore made four horcruxes before finally figuring out how to drain the dead magic from his soul to stop the horrible mental effects caused by the dead magic. As a result the Whomping Willow at Hogwarts was born and he drains to keep himself from losing his mind or from making any more horcruxes hand he can handle. He hated Gellert and his brother and was obsessed with Gryffindor, which means the Gryffindor sword is a likely horcrux candidate”
“but the sword has been missing for centuries” Myrtle commented absentmindedly.
“yes, but he may have found it” Tom offered as a possible scenario “we also know he admired his father who, according to Gringotts’ records, had a ring so that’s also a possible horcrux. He never found the hallows so we can rule those items out, but there was a painting depicting the story that showed a necklace of the Hallow symbol. Only three original necklaces were made, but one went missing and the last two are with the Lovegoods. Considering how obsessed he was it stands to reason he found and used one of them”
“a sword, a ring and a necklace … so we have good options, but no idea for the fourth one or where any of them are … you know he is very cautious so I would think he’d want them close. I searched the castle, but even though I couldn’t find anything that doesn’t mean they aren’t here“ the ghost pondered.
“we checked all of Godric’s Hollow and places that are under Gellert’s name. There’s no other places that are obvious. Nothing had dead magic … he’s the headmaster of Hogwarts and has free rein. He is the only one allowed to apparate, which gives him a big advantage, and he can enter or monitor every room except the professors’ living quarters and this chamber. It would be foolish to not use the advantage that comes from being in control of this place, but how is he hiding them?” Tom mused.
Myrtle nodded slowly as she thought of the issues “there are places I can’t go. I’m cursed to stay in the main castle so I haven’t looked through the Forbidden Forest or the Quidditch field or the courtyard”
“yeah Peter, Quirinus and Severus have been looking where you can’t, but still nothing … we’re missing something … something sickeningly obvious” Tom ran is fingers through his hair in frustration.
‘you will never find your answers by fretting. You remind me of my old master. Drove himself mad trying to discover answers for his various projects, but always ended up over thinking. Like him you have to step back and think of the obvious things if front of you. From what I’ve seen and heard through these old pipes the bumble bee is lustful for power and trickery. If I were him I’d hide my most precious items in front of everyone to secretly mock them’ Debora hissed wisely. It wax clear her many years have granted her with a useful insight on the world and the people in it despite being locked in the castle chamber for sometime.
“you’re right, both of you … I need to go speak with Harry before he comes. He needs to know some things before he hears things from the other students and puts everything together himself … he’s very clever” Tom said fondly, but there was a feeling of dread as he wondered how his soulmate would react.
“it’ll be fine Tom” Myrtle said softly.
A moment of silence passed as Tom gathered his strength before making his way to the vanishing cabinet hidden in the potion classroom upstairs. This may be the last time he could openly talk to Myrtle since he can’t risk coming here during school. With all those people around it would be too hard to avoid getting caught and can’t get caught least of all by Dumbledore. With that in mind Tom bid his friends farewell and stepped into the cabinet only to step out into the Malfoy cellar where it was safely hidden after being wrestled away from the peacocks. On his way upstairs to meet Severus and Lucius he heard Harry talking to Draco in the living …
“so what was it like touching him?” Draco asked as Tom discreetly poked his head into the room.
Harry smiled and had a look in his eyes as if he was remembering a wonderful experience, which of course made Tom curious “he was soft and warm to the touch. It was easy to spread him wide”
At this point Tom started twitching as he immediately assume Harry was talking about a sexual experience (who is he talking about? Blaise? Theo?) he scowled as he thought about all the people Harry knew who would spread themselves and try to steal his soulmate’s first time. The little slut better back off!
“all the marks I made on him disappeared too quickly- … hi Lucius, hi Severus” since the other two wizards came out from the other side of the Tom also “hi Tom” Harry said looking confused as to why they were there. Even Draco, who had Vesta on his lap, looked nervous.
“hello Harry, tell me who are you talking about?” Tom asked with a slightly deadly edge to his tone.
“you” Harry answered and pointed to Tom.
Tom blinked ignoring the looks Lucius and Severus were giving him “me?” he gaped in shock. He would remember spreading himself for Harry, which he didn’t yet, so what was that supposed to mean?
Harry nodded “yeah, Draco wanted to know what it was like when you were in the book”
“oh I see” Tom said feeling at bit embarrassed at overreacting the way he did. When he thought of the description in the context of his old horcrux it all made sense and wasn’t inappropriate at all. Getting passed his embarrassment he glanced at Lucius and Severus, who also seemed embarrassed over the misunderstanding, and it was silently agreed upon “Draco can you give us a moment alone with Harry?”
“ok, I need to finish packing anyway” Draco said as he got up letting the little fox jump off his lap and went up stairs.
Tom waited until Draco was gone before sitting down next to Harry “when you go to school you might hear some things … about Voldemort, Death Eaters and what they did and we think you should hear the full story first as well … ours parts in it” he said dreading this conversation as Severus and Lucius sat on the couch too making Vesta jump into Harry’s lap. Lucius was the only one who didn’t hurt Harry somehow. Tom was once Volemort and Severus told the insane dark lord about a prophecy that lead straight to Harry’s family. What worried Tom about the rumors at school is that former dark mark. Harry did see the mark briefly before it was changed and if he learned it marked the dark lord’s followers it could lead to him finding out the connection between himself, Tom and Voldemort. It was only a matter of time …
“yes … you see Harry, Lucius and I were Death Eaters” Severus said hiding his nervousness rather well “back then I made a mistake and told the Dark Lord about a conversation I heard about a prophecy that claimed a child would be born with the power to stop him … Voldemort took it as a threat instead of thinking it through and that lead to the death of your parents who tried their hardest to protect you. Harry I’m so sorry … I never meant to hurt you or put out in danger. I didn’t even realize where he went until we herd a rumor from someone who leaked information about your birthday and your family’s location. By the time Peter and I got there it was too late”
Harry blinked at the reveal of the one connection he suspected but had yet to confirm. He knew Severus and Peter were spies so it made sense that one of them heard something that set Voldemort off “I figured it was something along those lines. I don’t blame you Severus and you would never have let me fall into the Dursley’s home if you had the choice”
Severus felt a huge weight lift away from his shoulders and he smiled, but that smile turned into a scowl as he remembered that night “the only reason I left you alone was because that idiot of a godfather. If I knew he’d ditch you to chase after Peter I would’ve grabbed you before leaving”
“I can’t say I like the thought of bring cared for by Sirius Black either. He doesn’t sound like a responsible guardian” Harry frowned as he pondered the actions of the man who basically left a baby behind by himself. No matter how pissed you are that’s a foolish thing to do.
The sound of Severus snorting in amusement caught the young wizard’s attention “I doubt he would’ve hurt you, but it’s likely you would’ve ended up taking care of him since he has yet to grow up. You might’ve been raised with Lupin’s help. At least he has more sense”
Harry recalled the name of the werewolf from the stories Severus and Peter told him. To Severus’s credit he managed to describe the people named James Potter, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin without badmouthing them, but it was clear he didn’t care for them thus left most of those stories up to Peter. One thing did concern Harry about Remus and that was the fact that, though he never bullied like Sirius or his father, he never had the guts to stop it. The young wizard knew what it was like to be hurt by someone and couldn’t imagine not stepping in to stop it.
“perhaps” Harry commented absentmindedly before turning to look at Tom who looked nervous “I wouldn’t blame you either Tom” Harry saw Tom frown clearly not sure if he’d say that after being told the truth, but before Tom could start explaining Harry said the following blunt remark “Voldemort may have come from your soul, but he isn’t you”
Lucius’s eye widened “Harry how did you know?” he asked just as shocked as Tom whose mouth was hanging open.
“well remember when Vesta hid you from Dumbledore when you went to see Gellert? … that wasn’t the first time she used her illusions that way. I was in the room when you forced Voldemort to merge with you” Harry said cautiously as she scratched Vesta behind her ear.
Severus paled “you were there?! Do you realize how dangerous that was? What if you- …” the potion master’s mind stopped as he heard Tom gasp “what?”
Tom chuckled sheepishly “most of that conversation was in parseltongue so I guess you wouldn’t know, but I spoke to Voldemort about nearly killing our soulmate” he looked down at Harry not only feeling stupid for fearing rejection, but realizing Harry knew a lot more than he expected “you know we’re your soulmates”
“yes” Harry answered unashamedly and seemed amused that the light blushes on the three older men.
“ok I guess it’s far to late to punish you for putting yourself in danger” Severus said trying to change the subject from the embarrassing topic of intendeds to something more pressing “but you have to be careful especially in Hogwarts. We’re going to reapply the scar”
“I will do that. There are wizards who can see through charms, but maybe runes will provide the proper disguise” Lucius said as he kneeled in front of Harry and the young wizard held back his soft bangs so the runes could be applied. The Malfoy was starting to wonder why they bother underestimating Harry at all. Everything he does or says ends up surprising them. Even his growth surprised them since he was noticeably taller than his father was at 11 years old.
Just the trip to Knockturn Alley was enlightening. When they took Harry, who had a subtle charm hiding his identifiable features, and Draco to Knockturn Alley to get their school things they saw him cast a spell seconds after getting his wands. Both children got two wands. One as a back up just in case. Harry had cast a silencing charm and a levitation charm. Of course they were surprised, but it wasn’t as bad as the time they found him practicing wandless magic in the library. Harry truly was going to be a powerful wizard.
To sighed as the runes disappeared and a lightening bolt mark appeared. To be frank no one liked it, but they had to keep Dumbledore in the dark “Alecto sent me a letter. Apparently Dumbledore is sending Hagrid to pick you up since he believes you weren’t taken to get your school things. Your former guardians would not have so they could pretend that they would. We’re going to take you to the Dursleys’-” for the first time in years they saw Harry flinch “the house doesn’t belong to them anymore, but you just need to stand outside in he lawn and wait” he said soothingly making sore Harry knew he wasn’t going to be hurt.
“they’re dead aren’t they?” Harry whispered as he looked straight into each of their eyes. He never thought about it before. He couldn’t think about them without feeling frightened or sad, but that comment about the house not being theirs made everything click. He remembered Narcissa telling someone that the Carrow twins were taking up and to get them for the first birthday party Harry ever had. Deep down he knew his new family wouldn’t let his treatment go unpunished.
Lucius gaped slightly not sure what to say, but then he sighed knowing Harry just needed some closure not details “yes … the boy, Dudley, is alive, but doesn’t remember anything”
“ok” Harry said as his shoulders relaxed a little “is there anything else I should know about how to behave?”
Tom nodded “just be quiet and skittish. That’s what Dumbledore is expecting. Also you’ll notice Severus pretending to be a bit mean to you. It’s just for Dumbledore’s benefit, but we can discuss that later with Draco. Of course you won’t be alone with Hagrid either. Peter will be with you”
“ok when do I leave?” Harry asked. Two days later he found himself standing in the driveway of a house he knew, but didn’t recognize. The very sweet gay couple their had completely changed the entire place! The spot where his ‘tomb’ was had a koi pond and an herb garden next to it. Thankfully they went inside before Hagrid showed up, but that was probably because of a mild spell a rat cast on them before jumping into Harry’s jacket pocket …
XXXXXXXXXX
“interesting” Severus said as Lucius and Tom came into the potion lab Lucius lets him use “any word?” he asked as he looked at a slip of paper next to a brewing cauldron.
“none. What’s taking so long?” Lucius groaned as he leaned against the counter.
“Hagrid was never known for speed. Peter is there so Harry’s fine” Severus said it sounded a bit like he was trying to convince himself of that.
Draco popped his head in the lab looking worried “Uncle Peter just got back with Harry … ummm do you have your bag Uncle Sev. Harry’s hurt-”
“WHAT?” the full grown wizards scrambled to grab everything and raced passed a startled Draco as they all went to the front of the house where they found Peter holding up a limping Harry who was sporting several scratches and a black eye.
“dear merlin what happened?” Lucius snapped he moved next to Narcissa who was dabbing the bloody cuts with a towel “you were supposed to be watching him Peter- … are you ok?” he asked as he finally noticed that Peter looked like he went one on one with a hippogriff.
Peter scowled “the second Hagrid took us to Diagon Alley he said Harry’s name so loud that everyone heard and promptly swarmed us. That half giant thought it was all fun and games as they tried ripped Harry apart. I bit the hands of at least six people who tried to use the chaos to touch Harry in inappropriate areas. It wasn’t until someone tried to dump a bunch of presents on Harry, which is where the black eye came from, that he stepped in to break up the crowd. Besides that he made some ‘official Hogwarts business’ at Gringotts, dangled Harry’s vault key in his face, refused to let the goblins speak to Harry, used only a little money to buy Harry second hand items, didn’t buy a familiar and went on to describe Slytherins as evil. The evening ended when he drove his really loud magical motorcycle back down Privet Drive and did nothing to help Harry who got his ‘new trunk’ snagged to the motorcycle sidecar resulting in him being dragged up a couple meters before I cast the cutting spell to free him. That’s when he fell on his foot wrong and twisted it” Peter panted as he finished ranting “ok … I guess he couldn’t hear Harry over the motorcycle, but why was he riding that stupid thing in a muggle area? The twins had the right idea putting up spells to keep the muggles unaware, but Hagrid didn’t even do”
Severus blinked, he rarely sees Peter this irritated with someone “bloody hell … what is Dumbledore thinking? Come on Harry, have a seat and I’ll heal you” he said softly, but to his surprise Harry stiffened at his touch. It was heartbreaking to have done all that work to get Harry comfortable enough with touch to not flinch only to have it be completely destroyed in one trip.
Draco winced as he got a good look at that limp, but then smirked “I have my work cut out for me just trying to keep you safe at Hogwarts. Glad it won’t be just me watching your back” he said effectively bringing his brother figure out of his daze. After all Draco was right … Harry wasn’t alone …
