(I’m thinking)
“I’m speaking”
Pairing: Yaoi M/M, Harem – top Harry x bottom de-aged Severus / Tom / Lucius
Last Time:
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 …
XXXXXXXXXX
“you’re going to have to hide at Hogwarts Vesta” Harry said as he watched the black fox roll onto her back playfully on the library floor as he tickled her belly “very cute, but seriously be careful”
Draco snorted from across the table without looking up from his own book “you’re the one who needs to be careful. She can hide herself better than you”
Harry chuckled “you’re right, but I’ll worry any way … actually where’s that book on hiding your magic? It might come in handy” Harry said as he stood up and looked around the bookshelves.
“you’re a Ravenclaw!” Draco announced teasingly as Harry disappeared behind the bookshelves.
“someone as loyal as you should be careful. You may become a Hufflepuff!” Harry shot back enjoying Draco’s yelp of horror at the thought. He went deeper into the library to find hat book he knew he saw once before, but didn’t read because it was too advanced at the time being that he was only 9 when he first saw that book and only just started using magic “ah ha! Found it!” Harry exclaimed and raised his hand to wandlessly levitate it down to his hand, but he stopped when he realized he would have to get used to his wands eventually. After all it would be strange if he displayed wandless magic on the very first day. Peter gave him special holsters, a shoulder and calf holster, that would hide his wands from Knockturn Alley, but he knew he could not use those at Hogwarts so he pulled out the wand in his belt he got on his traumatic trip with Hagrid and aimed at the book he wanted “what the …” the book wobbled before shooting off the shelf. A quick wandless spell caught the book before it hit the floor. Harry grabbed the floating book and looked at the wand completely baffled as to why the spell backfired.
Draco frowned as he saw Harry looking at the wand in his hand as if it did something weird “something wrong?”
“Draco have you ever heard of a wand screwing up a spell?” Harry asked as he absentmindedly set the book on the table and continued examining his wand.
“only if the wand isn’t right for that person. Why? What spell did you try?” Draco asked now quite curious at what was going wrong before they even got to school.
“I tried the levitation charm and it was seriously unstable. The same spell worked fine without a wand” Harry said feeling a bit concerned.
“that’s odd … wait that’s the newest wand right? The one you bought with the half giant?” Draco asked.
“yeah, this is the first time I tried it” Harry said as he pointed the wand to try an even simpler spell. The spell was a basic light spell and, like the levitation spell, it backfired in a big way. The ball of light splintered and sent sparks everywhere.
“oh shit!” Draco yelped and used his own book to slap some of the sparks out before they started a fire. Vesta hopped onto the table and used her own magic to remove the rest of the sparks “ok we need to talk to father and Tom about this now” he said and Harry simply gave him a look that said ‘no shit’ …
XXXXXXXXXX
“it’s not fair to Harry” Lucius murmured solemnly as he stared at the roaring fire with Tom, Severus and Peter.
Peter frowned “I don’t like it either, but what choice do we have. If he acts like his usual self Dumbledore will know something is wrong. After he was in contact with the squib up until we interfered so there’s no way he’d expect a well adjusted child with the knowledge of what’s been going on” he said logically.
“so you want us to find a way to sort Harry into Gryffindor when he’s more of a Ravenclaw or Slytherin? Those rowdy brats will drive Harry insane” Severus snapped more annoyed with the fact that Harry can’t be himself and be safe like they all wanted.
“and he won’t have Draco in the same house” Lucius murmured before Dobby appeared with some drinks and popped out.
As Severus picked up a glass of wine he frowned “indeed … those two are nearly inseparable and with Dumbledore lurking he should have someone nearby. All these schemes will be a problem if they’re anything like what that idiot half giant did”
“Hagrid didn’t seem to truly be apart of any scheme just handled everything very poorly. It’s something there that makes me wonder if Dumbledore did interfere in a subtle way” Peter pondered as he drank his drink.
“how so?” Tom asked just as concerned as Severus and Lucius.
“Hagrid forgot to get Harry a familiar … as an insane creature lover that doesn’t seem right. In fact I would’ve thought that would have been the very first task he wanted to complete, but it was skipped entirely. That makes no sense. You remember that infestation of pixies in our second year Severus? The guy was apologizing because he actually brought the pixies and tried to keep them as pets. He loves animals too much to forget getting Harry an owl” Peter said wondering why that would be.
Severus rolled his eyes with an annoyed sigh “yes he was always infuriating when it came to dangerous creatures”
“you have no right to complain. Pixies are nothing compared to the bloody acromantula he smuggled into the school his first year of school. I found him and reported him, but the expulsion didn’t teach him much. Debora said the forest is filled with acromantulas … I told Dumnledore the day before Mrytle died …” Tom trailed off for a moment wondering if Dumledore used that as an excuse to get rid of the young witch who knew too much while also taking the opportunity to make an ally by standing up for Hagrid. The wizard has done much worse to remove someone in the way.
“acromantula venom is hard to detect, but it settles in the bones so maybe I can tell Quirinus. They did keep Myrtle’s body to find the cause of death. From the way you described her death it might fit, but Hagrid’s love of the strange and deadly aside it seems we need to be wary of any owl that comes Harry’s way” Peter said considering the next possible threat coming their way.
“Vesta will watch out for any oddities on any owls” Harry piped up out of nowhere startling the older wizards “sorry” he said sheepishly.
Lucius chuckled as his heart rate slowly returned to normal. The green eyed wizard was too quiet for his own good “it’s fine Harry. Are you both ready for school tomorrow? Alecto is going to take you to King’s Cross under a disguise to make her look like Petunia ok?”
Draco frowned “we have a problem actually. Harry’s wand is acting up”
Severus set his cup down instantly and took Harry’s wand “there aren’t any obvious curses”
“would Dumbledore even try that if he wants me for some plan?” Harry asked more curious than scared. He knew some of the worst already, but being cruel for the sake of cruelty isn’t Dumbledore’s style. There has to be a gain for him somewhere otherwise he wouldn’t bother. If there was a gain … well, just don’t be the one to stand in his way …
Peter took the wand next “it’s possible … or a magic leech. Hard to say … how did it act up exactly?”
“he was somehow able to come close to setting the library on fire with a light spell he used hundreds of times” Draco answered before Harry could even open his mouth.
“that’s not right at all” Peter frowned as he set the wand on the table “Harry what did it feel like when you were given this wand? Was it different from your Knockturn Alley wands?”
The green eyed wizard took a second to think back “it did bond with me and make some sparks, but it was different … incomplete”
Tom closed his eyes as a thought came to mind “what is the core made of?”
“it’s 11 inches of Holly with a phoenix feather core” Harry said recalling what the odd wand maker, Ollivander, said about the wand.
“the phoenix feather didn’t by any chance come from Fawkes did it?” Tom asked making everyone curious.
“yeah actually … oh and he said the brother of that wand gave me the scar on my head so it’s how your wand was, right?” Harry as he remembered that important detail. He felt foolish for forgetting it, but it was hard to remember everything when you were looking over your shoulder every other second for rabid ‘fans’. Even with Peter there it was a nerve wrecking trip.
“I really hate Dumbledore” Tom rolled his eyes as he mentally cursed Dumbledore “there isn’t a brother wand. That’s my wand with a fresh wood casing” he stated and to prove it he took the wand and everyone felt the magic pulse as it should “the reason you had a slight bond is because you’re my intended” he said with a slight note of shyness in his voice as he smiled at Harry.
Peter slapped his forehead for not thinking of that solution earlier “Voldemort must’ve dropped it when the blast destroyed his body. Just enough made it through so Dumbledore had Ollivander repair it … why?”
“think of it in the long term. Dumbledore believes the horcrux is in Harry so why shouldn’t it work? He probably figured it would be just enough of a bond to be useful. As an added bonus he knows Voldemort hated Harry and would go after him once he had the chance, which would probably lead to Harry losing his wand either because it was destroyed or taken. If that happened Voldemrt would be armed again and Dumbledore could stage everything to make everyone praise him and trick Harry into fighting and dying in the war that would surely start … not unlike Gellert’s situation except Harry will be both fighting and hiding as he runs for his life” Tom summarized bitterly wishing Harry didn’t have to be near Dumbledore.
Lucius cringed in disgust “it’s disturbingly manipulative, but you can’t deny that it makes sense”
“indeed. He’s trying to play the anger Voldemort had with Harry against Harry’s need to belong in a place that isn’t the Dursleys. If that’s just part of the plan then there’s more at Hogwarts. It’s a big set up and it most likely has plenty of backup plans built in. Even a large chunk of that plan is obviously destroyed we should be careful … I am surprised that Ollivander had a part to play in this” Severus groaned wondering how far Dumbledore’s webs spread in this world and if they can avoid getting tangled up in his webs.
“I’m not. No one can resist the great Dumbledore” Tom muttered sarcastically “he isn’t going to make this easy and to start things off this brings up a problem. We can’t have Harry use that wand, of course, but Dumbledore will notice if Harry is using a different wand. How can we hide one of his wands as this wand?” Tom asked hoping for some ideas.
Lucius sighed as he thought for a moment “I can use a rune to make it look similar, but I can’t warp the length or it will screw up the core”
Harry got the point and pulled out the wand that was in his shoulder holster “this is the ash and dragon fang one. It’s only 11 ½ inches so it will be closer than the acacia and dragon heart, which is 13 inches” he said as he gave Lucius the wand.
“I can work with that … gave me a moment … curved surfaces are tricky for runes” Lucius said as he took both Harry’s wand and Tom’s wand upstairs to apply the runes needed.
Severus sighed already aware this was going to worry him every time Dumbledore looks at Harry’s wand “now you are both aware that you can’t be in the same house right?” Draco and Harry nodded with Draco being a bit annoyed with hearing the same thing over and over “good. Now Harry Peter brought up a good point earlier about the owl you were supposed to get with Hagrid”
“oh right … I can’t bring Hedwig can I?” Harry said more as a statement than a question.
“no you can’t, but we will be nearby anyway so she gets to stay in her cozy coop. However if someone offers the use of an owl have Vesta point them out. It could be a way to keep track of you. Owls Dumbledore and Weasleys” Severus said counting off the main problems on his fingers. Both boys understood the things to watch out for.
XXXXXXXXXX
Alecto winced as she drove the muggle car up to Harry who was waiting on the same block as he did for Hagrid except he had a trunk this time “I’m sorry Harry. Will this be too much?” she asked wondering if coming as Petunia was too disturbing for Harry who was staring at her blankly through his fake glasses. She thought this choice would be better than Vernon, but she could see why either would bring back harsh memories.
“no … I never actually saw her properly until now” Harry stated bluntly as he opened the trunk of the car, which is one thing he hasn’t forgotten despite living in the wizarding world for years now, and put his own trunk in the car.
“you never saw-…” ‘Petunia palmed her face feeling a little stupid “right … your eyesight sucked” she said amused at the little fact “ok, I’m only trying this contraption out so I suggest putting that thing on”
“you mean the belt?” Harry said nervously as the blood drained from his face. He had a bad feeling about this and that feeling turned out to be right. Poor Harry and Vesta, who was thrown out of his pocket where she was hiding after a sharp turn, clung to his seat for dear life as Alecto zipped down the streets in a car that was under a spell to hide it from muggles. She didn’t obey the traffic signals and barely managed to not hit anyone. Really it was a miracle they lived …
Aster careening to a sudden stop in a alley a few blocks away from King’s Cross Alecto canceled any magic on the car before driving the last few blocks slowly “wow! I like this this! Maybe I’ll get my license” she said cheerily.
“the license is meant to come first” Harry gasped as he tried to sit up after nearly going through the windshield and trying to calm Vesta down, but Alecto didn’t seem to hear him and turned serious as he saw her watching out the window “something wrong?” he asked and tried to subtly look in the same direction she was.
‘Petunia’ sneered as she slowly drove the car up to the station “the red haired woman near the door. That’s Molly Weasley. She’s waiting for you”
“did she see the magic on the car?” Harry asked as he subtly put Vesta in his pocket.
“no, I canceled that when we stopped in that alley … this is where we part ways, but don’t worry. Amicus is somewhere in there. He’s hidden better than her” Alecto said as Harry opened the door. Like Petunia would do Alecto did not help Harry get his things and instead pretended to check her makeup before driving away leaving Harry standing there.
The green eyes scanned the area, but Mrs. Weasley already left. Since he couldn’t see her any more he headed for the platform. As he expected he spotted her again out of the corner of his eye after he wandered around the station pretending not to know how to get on the platform. Lucius, of course, warned him before taking him to the spot to wait for Alecto. After all they couldn’t expect anything. The Weasleys may not have bothered to approach him until he was on the Hogwarts Express for all they knew. In that case Harry would need to know how to get on the platform. However Harry did at least expect them to be subtle if they were on the muggle side so he was shocked when he heard the following …
“OK EVERYONE! PLATFORM 9 ¾ THIS WAY! LETS GET A MOVE ON!” Mrs. Weasley announced loudly for everyone, muggle and wizards a like, to hear. He swore he heard Amycus’s voice saying ‘bloody idiot’, but when he turned around no one was there.
Harry shrugged it off and rolled his luggage over to the clan of red heads “excuse me ummm … how do you …” Harry let his sentence trail off as if he was shy and didn’t know how to word the question.
Molly’s eyes gleamed for a moment before smiling lovingly “you want to get on the platform deary?” Harry nodded and had to stop a cringe as she laid a hand on his shoulder, but did flinch instead “we’ll show you dear. Just watch-oh how rude of me. I’m Mrs. Weasley what’s your name?”
“Harry Potter” Harry answered trying not to look at the red headed boy about his age who looked greedy.
One by one the reds named Percy, Fred, George and Ron, being the greedy boy, raced through the brick wall between the platforms 9 and 10. As Harry ignored Ginny, who was trying to flirt with him, which was just weird at her age, he took note of the Weasley twins complaining about waiting so long. He doubted they’d be complaining if they were in on the plan like Ro who yelled over them to hurry up so Harry didn’t hear them, but Harry did and that yell just mad it more suspicious.
Once on the right platform Harry spotted Draco, Lucius and Narcissa, but unlike the Weasleys they betrayed nothing. Even as Ron dragged Harry to a compartment Draco seemed indifferent as he boarded with Blaise, Vincent, Greg and Theo. All of whom pretended not to recognize him too though they were good friends of his. Real friends unlike Ron and the next person to enter his compartment, Hermione Granger who immediately noticed he had no owl and offered to share hers.
The rest of the trip was fairly quiet save for a coupe moments where the lady with the cart of candy came by and Ron hinted he wanted some candy, but couldn’t afford it. The red head sulked when Harry only bought a couple chocolate frogs, but what did he expect. They had to know Harry was kept from his vault theoretically leaving him penniless and not in a position to splurge. Besides he wasn’t big on candy so he wouldn’t splurge even if he could. Other than that and a few glances between Ron and Hermione Harry noticed nothing. The next strange thing happened during the sorting …
Harry ignored most of the sortings until his own name was called. When the hat was placed on his head he heard a voice in his mind and prepared to beg the hat to place him in Gryffindor, but the hat said something odd “I am built for secrets young wizard”
The wizard frowned, he was told that already by Peter (errr … ok, but I want to request-)
“I’m able to keep them safe. Students’ secrets and one of the headmaster’s as well. All of them are safe inside me” the hat droned on not caring that he interrupted Harry’s thoughts.
(what?) Harry paused as he considered the wording of that statement.
“I can resort you another time if need be. For now you and you brother are where you need to be” the hat said inside Harry’s mind as the green eyes shifted towards Draco for a brief second “Gryffidor!” the hat yelled out loud before Harry could ask anymore questions. Harry was left no choice but to stand up and go to his assigned table which was in an uproar. The happy cheers didn’t make the trek across Dumbledore’s path any easier, but the little tongue from his sweet fox licking his hand helped a little. Still he couldn’t stop the shiver when he felt that man’s eyes on him.
“I’m starved!” Ron yelled as Harry put some food on his own plate at a much slower pace. Harry ignored the slob in favor of slipping Vesta some chicken and wondering if the hat was trying to tell him something … something horcrux related …
