-Chapter Seventeen-
Rolling over onto his side, the first thing Harry became aware of the next morning was Tiger hissing and growling at the redhead standing at the side of his bed trying to reach past the animal to shake him awake.
"Ron, what the hell are you doing?" Harry said pushing himself up so he was sitting. Yawning, Harry rubbed at his eyes and glared at the redhead.
"Mione asked me to come and wake you up. It's Saturday we get to go down to Hogsmeade today. We forgive you, by the way, for the way you acted yesterday when we got here and at the sorting. Mione said that you just needed to get used to being back at the school."
"Weasley I'm not apologizing for what I said yesterday to you or to Granger so I don't know why you think that I am...and second I am not going down to Hogsmeade with you today, or at all this year. Like I told you yesterday I want you two to leave me alone!" Harry spat out standing up from his bed. Opening up his trunk, which was at the foot of his bed inside of the curtains, Harry pulled out a pair of comfortable blue jeans and a tight white t-shirt.
When Tiger jumped down to the floor, Harry shut the curtains and spelled them closed then made his way into the room that lead into the personal bathrooms. Heading into his own bathroom, Harry shut the door after Tiger slipped into the room.
Giving a disgusted sigh, Harry ran his hands across his face and said, "I don't know how I'm going to be around them this year." Setting his clothes for the day aside, he started the shower then stripped out of his night clothes and jumped into the shower.
Stepping into the spray of water, Harry let the spray wash over his body as he rubbed shampoo into his hair. Letting his thoughts fade away, Harry tried to focus on his forming bond with Voldemort. After a few seconds Harry gave up with a sigh since the bond was quiet as if Voldemort was still asleep.
Quickly finishing up, Harry jumped out of the shower and dried off before he threw on his clothes. Making his way back into the dorm, Harry tossed his bed clothes into the hamper and opened his curtains to grab a robe before he spelled them shut again.
Starting for the door, Harry was stopped when Tiger jumped up on his leg and climbed up into his pocket. Looking up at him with wide eyes Tiger purred and rubbed his head against Harry's thigh.
Chuckling Harry gave Tiger a pat on the head and said, "Alright you can come with me today, but don't cause any trouble."
Continuing out of the door and down into the common room, Harry gave a sigh of relief when he realized that Hermione and Ron weren't there. Heading out into the hallway, Harry made his way down the stairs towards the great hall. Stepping inside, Harry made his way over to the Gryffindor table and sat down as far away from Hermione and Ron as he could get.
Picking at the food he placed on his plate, Harry glanced up when a shadow stopped in front of him. Looking up Harry gave a mental groan as he spotted the youngest Weasley.
Sitting down across from him, Ginny grinned at him and nibbled at her bottom lip. "Hi Harry, I was wondering if you'd like to hang out today. I know that your Hogsmeade weekend starts today, but I'd really like to spend some time with you."
"Sorry Ginny, but I have plans." Harry said turning back to his breakfast.
Giving a whine, Ginny bent her head so she could see Harry and said, "Please Harry, I guarantee that we'll have a lot of fun."
Lifting up his goblet, Harry was about to take a sip when he caught a whiff of something off about the pumpkin juice. Noticing Ginny's excited look, Harry made it look like he took a sip then sat the glass back down.
Clearing his throat, he wiped his mouth on his napkin then said, "No means no Ginny. Do not ask me again."
Lowering her head and pouting, Ginny gave a forlorn sigh, most likely trying to get Harry to change his mind.
Rolling his eyes, Harry quickly shrunk the goblet and placed a charm on it so the liquid wouldn't pour out, then slipped it into his robe pocket beside Tiger. Noticing Tiger's inquisitive look Harry shook his head and said, "Don't touch."
Grabbing a couple pieces of bacon off of his plate, Harry ripped them into a small pieces then held his hand down so Tiger could eat the bacon. After Tiger finished the bacon, he licked at Harry's hand to get the taste off. Taking a second to nuzzle against Harry's hand Tiger gave a soft purr then dropped back down into his pocket.
Smiling, Harry was about to stand up when owls poured into the great hall with the mail. As an old brown and white barn owl swooped down and landed in front of him, Harry carefully reached out and accepted the letter and shrunken package.
Recognizing the symbol on the note, Harry realized that it was the supplies that he had bought for Tiger. Slipping both the note and shrunken package into his other pocket, Harry stood and made his way towards the door and after making eye contact with Draco, he stepped out into the hallway.
Leaning against the wall across from the door, Harry waited until Draco walked out beside him.
"What's up Harry?" Draco asked as they started to walk down the hall.
"Do you know if my father was going right back to his rooms after breakfast?" Harry asked after glancing around to see if they were alone.
"He should be...why did something happen?" Draco asked tossing a worried glance towards Harry.
"No, but I think that Ginny was planning something. My pumpkin juice had an odd smell to it during breakfast and Ginny looked a little too excited when I went to take a drink." Harry said remembering the look on her face.
"Do you think that she did something to it?"
"I have a feeling that there was a little something extra in my juice. That's what I wanted to talk to my father about."
"Well if she did do something to it she had better hope that your mate doesn't hear about this." Draco said cringing at the thought.
Giving a hum of agreement, Harry looked around the halls leading down towards the potions rooms. "Do you still want to go down to Hogsmeade later?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, I want to walk around, but don't forget that we need to get those letters off to father by the end of the day."
Grimacing Harry said, "I still need to write one out...I was a little preoccupied last night."
"Did you get a vision last night?" Draco asked.
"Yeah, the so called 'dark lord' tortured and killed a muggle family last night; two adults, one man and one woman, and a child about four years old." Harry said shivering at the memory.
Frowning Draco gave, Harry a quick one armed hug before he stepped into the potions classroom.
"Uncle Sev are you in here?" Draco called out looking around the room.
Stepping out of his office Severus said, "Of course I'm here Draco, where else would I be? Did you need something?"
"No, but your son needs your help." Draco said motioning towards Harry.
Looking up towards Harry, he stepped forwards and placed his hands on his shoulders "What's wrong Harry? What happened?"
"This morning during breakfast my pumpkin juice had a different scent to it then normal. It had a few different scents, like some of the potion ingredients that I used this summer, when you taught me some new potions." Harry said.
Giving a hum Severus asked, "What kind of scent did it give off?"
"It was a spicy, yet sweet scent." Harry said remembering the scent clearly. Reaching into his pocket, Harry pulled out the cup and handed it to his father. "I figured that you'd want to look at it."
Accepting the cup, Severus said, "Yes I would. I'll start brewing a potion that will extract the pumpkin juice so that we can identify the potion that is in here."
"Do you need any help?" Harry asked looking around the room.
"No, no that's fine. I have the rooms set up for classes and this potion shall only take about three hours to complete. Go and enjoy your first Hogsmeade trip before classes start on Monday."
"If you're sure..." Harry said hesitating.
"Of course I'm sure, just stop by when you come back so we can discuss what was in your drink." Severus said patting them both on their shoulders.
"We will Uncle Sev." Draco said grabbing a hold of Harry's sleeve and started pulling him towards the door.
"See you later!" Harry called out as they slipped out of the door. As the door shut behind them, they started walking down the hall. As they approached the main doors to the outside, Harry frowned at the three people standing by the door.
Walking passed Hermione, Ron, and Ginny without saying anything, Harry shrugged his shoulders when they called out to him.
"They don't learn." Harry said shaking his head.
"How many times have you told them to leave you alone?" Draco asked.
"About four times all together; I think I told Hermione twice and Ron twice as well."
"Well at least we can avoid them today while we're in Hogsmeade." Draco said looking over his shoulder to toss a sneer at the three standing in the doorway looking baffled.
"I'm not going to try and maneuver around them while we're there, I'm just going to ignore them." Harry said stepping up into the first empty carriage that he found.
Leaning his head back against the seat Draco said, "When we get to Hogsmeade, I need to make a quick stop at Gringotts."
"That's good, I need to stop there as well." Harry said after taking out his bag and looking at what money was left in there.
"I thought that you used the card that you got from them?" Draco asked remembering the last time he and Harry had went out shopping for their school things.
"I do use that, but I want to get some pocket money in case something anything ever happens to the card." Harry said turning to look out the window. Sighing Harry placed his chin on a palm and leaned against the carriage door.
"What's the matter Harry?" Draco asked leaning forwards.
"I don't know, I feel...empty inside, lonely."
"You miss your mate, I feel the same way." Draco said reassuringly.
Shaking his head Harry said, "I don't like this feeling."
Smiling, Draco put his feet up on the seat beside him and said, "It's not a good feeling, but you'll be able to lessen the feeling with the mental bond that you have."
Giving a hum of agreement Harry decided to change the topic. "So how bad was Pansy last night?"
"Horrid, she wouldn't stop touching me and leaning on me." Draco said shuddering.
"Don't worry I'm sure she won't be able to find us in Hogsmeade today, and if she does...we'll figure something out." Harry said as Tiger popped his head out of the pocket he was in.
Climbing out of the pocket, Tiger stretched his back and gave a wide yawn before he curled up on Harry's lap.
"Is she even coming down to Hogsmeade today? She's usually plastered to your side when you come into the dining hall." Harry said.
"Yeah, I was out of the common room before she woke up, so she's probably looking around the school for me. Sooner or later she's going to make her way down to Hogsmeade." Draco said grimacing.
"Poor Draco...are you going to tell Sirius about this?"
"I don't know. The submissive in me wants to, but the other part of me wants to handle this on my own. I might ask father what I should do when I send out my letter to him."
Nodding, Harry stood up when the carriage stopped and stepped out into the sunlight holding Tiger close. While Draco stepped down beside him, Harry carefully placed the sleeping animal back into his pocket.
Looking around to the few students that were already there, Draco and Harry made their way towards Gringotts.
"I'll be glad when we get to go back home." Harry said as people stopped what they were doing to turn and stare at him.
"Just try to ignore them." Draco said shaking his head at the people who didn't even try to hide the fact that they were staring.
"It's hard to." Harry said as they stepped through the doors of the bank.
Nodding his head in agreement Draco said, "I'll meet you back here in about ten minutes."
"Alright, see you then."
When Draco turned and walked over towards his own personal manager Harry stepped over to his.
"Hello Matterhorn, I need to make a trip down to my vault." Harry said when the goblin looked up at him.
"Of course Mr. Potter, come with me." He said standing up.
Following behind him silently, Harry watched as Draco stepped into one of the carts beside his before the carts took off towards their destination.
Calling out to Matterhorn Harry said, "Matterhorn I've been wondering, before I came of age who was taking care of my vaults?"
"I would need to look back on the files about your vaults, before I could answer that. Normally it would be your parents, but I can find out and send word to you as soon as I find out."
"That would be wonderful Matterhorn." Harry said stepping out of the cart and over to his personal vault.
"Do you believe that something untoward was done with your possessions?" Matterhorn asked.
"I have a feeling that something was done when I didn't have full power over my vaults." Harry said handing his key to Matterhorn.
"I will look into it as soon as we are done here then send you an urgent note with my findings." Matterhorn said stepping out of the way when the door opened.
"Good, thank you." Harry said stepping into his vault. Opening his money bag he filled the bag about half full then shut it. Stepping out of the door, Harry accepted his key once the door slammed shut and locked. Placing his key and money bag back into his pants pocket Harry stepped back onto the cart.
When the cart reached the top Harry stepped out and followed Matterhorn out of the room. Spotting Draco Harry said, "Matterhorn, I look forward to hearing from you, and thanks again for your help today."
"Of course Mr. Potter." Matterhorn said making his way back to his desk.
Walking over to Draco Harry said, "I'm done here, what about you?"
"I'm all done." Draco said moving away from the wall he had been leaning against.
"Did you have any where that you wanted to go today?" Harry asked as they stepped out into the street.
"No, I figured we could just walk around and go into what ever store that we wanted to." Draco said shrugging his shoulders.
Nodding, Harry looked around into the crowd of students to see if he could see his brothers' or his own 'stalkers'. Following Draco down the steps they started walking further away from where the carriages dropped off the students.
They had barely gotten two feet away from the bank when a shriek pierced the air.
"Drakey there you are!" Pansy shouted rushing forwards to throw herself at Draco.
Giving a groan, Draco curled up his lip and stepped out of her path so she stumbled past him.
"Drakey why didn't you wait for me this morning? I had to find out from that filthy Weasley and Granger that you had already left, and with Potter no less."
Snorting, Draco kept walking with Harry and said, "I didn't tell you because I want nothing to do with you."
Giggling Pansy said, "Oh you're such a kidder Draco."
"I'm not kidding, so why don't you go away and stay away."
Grabbing his arm, Pansy pushed her chest against him and was about to say something when a low growl interrupted her. With wide eyes, Pansy turned to look and gave a soft shriek at the large black dog that was baring his teeth and snarling at her.
Pushing herself closer to Draco, Pansy said, "Drakey, make this mutt go away!"
Smirking down at her Draco said, "I should let him eat you...but you'd just upset his stomach."
"Don't joke around about this Draco! Make it go away!" Pansy cried out drawing some attention to them.
When the dog noticed the attention, he stopped growling and wagged his tail moving closer to Draco. However when they looked back to what they were doing, the dog nipped at her leg and roughly pushed her away with his nose.
"Take the hint Pansy, get lost. I don't want you around me, Harry doesn't want you around me, and the dog doesn't want you around me."
"How can you speak to your future wife that way!" She asked shaking in anger.
Sighing, Draco ran his hands over his face and said, "Pansy I already told you that you are not my future wife." Reaching down, Draco ran his hands over the dogs fur trying to calm him down.
"You can't treat me like this Draco, daddy has the contract. It says we are to be married when we graduate."
"It says if you were my mate we would marry, but you are not my mate Pansy. Go and find someone else to pester, because I will go to the Ministry to get a restraining order against you if I must." Draco said as the dog brushed against his leg.
"Oh, I will make you see the truth Draco, and no dog or a Potter is going to stop me from marrying you." With that Pansy spun around and made her way into the crowd.
"That woman is a menace." Harry said as Draco reached down to scratch the dog behind the ears.
"I know, trust me I know." Draco said shivering.
Looking up when he heard someone call his name, Harry paled when he noticed Remus Lupin making his way through the crowd.
"Draco, take Sirius and talk to him. Remus is coming and he doesn't know that he's alive yet." Harry said turning to look down at Sirius.
"Remus?" Draco asked.
"Professor Lupin." Harry said turning to find where he was.
Shrugging his shoulders, Draco gave Sirius another pat on the head and started to make his way through the crowd when he realized that Sirius was still sitting close to Harry.
Making his way back over Draco said, "Let's go Sirius."
Shaking his head, Sirius moved over to Harry's side and laid down on the ground.
Reaching down, Draco grabbed a fist full of his fur and went to pull him up when Sirius gave a protesting, and loud growl that made him let go and stand back up.
Giving a distressed groan, Harry looked between Draco and Sirius and the quickly approaching Remus.
"Sorry Harry, he may not be a creature, but he's still my dominant." Draco explained as Remus came to a stop beside Harry.
"Harry...Padfoot?" Remus asked looking down at the dog beside Harry.
"There's somethings you need to know Remus." Harry said placing his hand on Remus' arm.
"I think you're right." Remus said still staring at Sirius.
"Come on, let's go to the Three Broomsticks and I'll...we'll explain." Harry said glaring down at Sirius.
Giving his version of a grin, Sirius stood up and shook his body before he rubbed against Draco.
Shaking his head Draco walked beside Sirius towards the Three Broomsticks.
"Harry what's going on?" Remus asked walking beside him rather quickly.
"Wait until we get there Remus. It'll be safer that way." Harry said glancing around.
"If you say so." Remus said as he noticed Harry's looks.
Walking in silence, Remus looked Harry over surprised that he recognized him with the way that he looked, but realized that it was his scent that had alerted him.
When the group entered the Three Broomsticks they made their way over to a booth in the corner and sat down. Once Sirius was settled up on the booth and hidden by the shadows, he slowly morphed back into his human form.
Giving Remus a grin he said, "Hi Moony. Long time no see."
"Sirius, Merlin it is you, but how?" Remus asked looking at him with wide eyes.
"I'll tell you, but first I have something to do." Sirius said turning to face Draco. Grinning at his submissive, Sirius grabbed a hold of Draco and pulled him against him. Brushing their lips together Sirius pulled back with a content sigh.
Staring at Sirius in shock, Remus opened and closed his mouth as he tried to think of something to say.
"Don't worry Remus, he does that all the time." Harry said glaring at Sirius and his brother.
"Yes, I can see that they look rather comfortable with each other, but why do they do it?" Remus asked.
"You know about mates and all that good stuff, Sirius is Draco's mate." Harry said.
"How is it even possible that he's alive? We saw him fall into the veil." Remus said cringing at the thought.
"He did, but he wasn't meant to be kept there...there are a lot of things that you need to be told." Harry said running his hands across his face.
"Sirius, maybe you should take him to the house. You know tell him the whole truth in private, and give him a chance to get used to it all." Harry suggested.
Looking up, Remus quickly said, "I can't stay gone all weekend, I have to be back to set up the DADA classroom. The original teacher that Dumbledore hired never showed up, so he called me to take over classes for the year."
"You're the DADA teacher? That's great Remus." Harry said grinning. Turning to face Sirius again, Harry gave an annoyed sigh when he caught sight of Draco and Sirius kissing again. Kicking out, Harry smirked when Sirius gave a grunt of pain.
"What?" Sirius asked pulling away from Draco.
"Pay attention." Harry said shaking his head. "So does that sound alright to you? You'll take Remus to the house and tell him what's been going on?"
"Yeah, it's fine with me, but next weekend I'm coming and spending with Draco alone." Sirius said giving Draco a pointed look.
"Remus, what you find out is going to be a lot to take in. Trust me, I found out exactly what you're going to find out, and I'm pretty sure you're going to need to talk about it so...you can talk to me. Because, like I said, I found out the same things."
Smiling softly, Remus said, "Thank you Harry, and if there are more surprises like this one here, I will need to talk."
Glancing at the floating numbers above the bar Harry said, "It's about time to get back and talk with my f...with Professor. Snape."
Giving a groan, Draco pressed his head against Sirius' shoulder and took a deep breath to take in his scent.
Grinning, Harry shook his head and said, "Come on Draco, you'll see him again next weekend."
Sighing, Draco slid out of the booth and stood up beside Harry while staring at Sirius the whole time.
"I'll see you later Remus." Harry said turning to face Sirius he added, "Tell everyone I said 'hi'."
Nodding, Sirius changed back into his Animagus form and slipped out of the booth. Rubbing himself against Draco one last time he moved to stand beside Remus.
While Harry and Draco made their way outside to return to the castle, Remus and Sirius made their way into the floo chamber and apparation room in the back of the Three Broomsticks.
Stepping outside, Harry stretched his arms above his head and gave a slight yawn. "Running into people is tiring."
Chuckling Draco was about to say something when he was interrupted by Tiger popping his head out of Harry's pocket and gave soft, almost inquisitive, growl.
Pulling Tiger out of his pocket, Harry held him while they climbed into a carriage and started off for the school.
"What do you think Uncle Sev found in your drink?" Draco asked reaching out to scratch Tiger behind the ears.
"I don't know, but it's probably nothing good...do you think I should tell father when I write home?" Harry asked biting his lip.
"Well either you do or Uncle Sev is going to tell them what happened." Draco said truthfully.
"What a way to start the school year huh?" Harry asked sarcastically.
"Well at least you don't have to worry about a big, end of the year fight with our lord." Draco said.
Feeling the pain of missing his mate well up at the thought of him, Harry gave a slight grin and turned to look out the window. Closing his eyes, Harry tried to pull the bond forwards to talk to his mate, but it was still quiet. Feeling worried Harry frowned and bit his lip.
"What's wrong Harry?" Draco asked.
"The bond's been rather quiet today...I'm worried." He admitted.
"Don't worry about it Harry, if you can still feel it there's nothing wrong. If you couldn't feel it, then there would be something to worry about." Draco said giving him a smile.
"Not worrying about it's easier said then done." Harry said as the carriage stopped in front of the school.
Climbing down to the ground, Harry waited for Draco to join him before they started to head inside to see Severus. Walking down the stairs towards the dungeons Harry continued to pet Tiger, who was looking around at the new surroundings.
Opening the door they stepped into the potions classroom and came upon Severus pacing back and forth mumbling to himself.
"What's wrong?" Harry asked when his father caught sight of them.
"I finished analyzing what was in your drink." Severus said pressing his lips together in anger.
"Well what was it?" Harry asked.
"Someone placed a love potion in your drink."
"A love potion?"
"Yes, a rather strong love potion that when consumed would make you instantly attracted to the first person you saw."
"It must have been that youngest Weasley brat." Draco said frowning.
"What would make you think that?" Severus asked looking at him curiously.
"This morning she looked excited when I went to take a sip of my drink, and there's also the fact that she's always had a thing for me." Harry said grimacing.
"We have to figure something to do Harry, you can't be staying in the same dorm as them if they're going to try and drug you with potions." Severus said looking at him with worry in his eyes.
"I know. Draco, why don't you write to father for me as well. I have someplace that I need to go and check out." Harry said.
"Harry are you sure that it's safe for you to go by yourself? Will they be out looking for you?" Draco asked.
"I'll be fine. Here can you watch Tiger for me while I'm gone?" He asked holding Tiger out for him to take.
"Sure." Draco said taking the animal.
"Harry, I don't know if I like the idea of you going by yourself." Severus said frowning.
"Don't worry, I know the place is safe. I just want to go and take a look around." Harry said smiling reassuringly.
"If you're sure...but if you aren't back within an hour I'm going to fire call your other fathers and your mate." Severus warned.
"Okay, I'll be back within the hour." Harry said handing Draco the package with Tiger's supplies in it. "I'll be back, then I'll bring you both there, because I'll need some help fixing it up." Harry said making his way out of the room and further into the castle.
