Chapter 15: Planning Part 1
The next morning Harry woke up before Draco, silently he got out of bed; he went to the bathroom to take care of his morning ablution. He had so much to do before school started on Monday. Last night before Draco came into the shower, he decided that he was not going to hide who he was anymore. There was nothing to be ashamed of; he was the Heir to both Slytherin and Hufflepuff house and he was proud to wear both titles. Dumbledore be damned, no matter his ideology. He needed to speak with his brother and the others.
Making his way to his study he called for Magnus his personal elf, who popped in right away and bowed respectfully. "What can I do for you, Duke Slytherin?" He asked "Magnus, I need you to deliver a message to my brother Duke Gryffindor. Let him know that he and his Consort are invited to breakfast." Magnus popped out again to deliver his message. This left Harry alone with his thoughts. Sitting at his desk he began to write a few owls. They were addressed to each of the people he trusted. He wanted them to be here for lunch. They had a lot to discuss and preparations to make. But first he wanted the Malfoy's here; he needed to formally introduce himself as Draco's mate. After finishing his owls, he called for Sprite. "I need you to deliver these messages discreetly. You are to also wait for a reply." Nodding his head in understanding, he popped out to do his task. He was so deep in thought he did not even notice when Draco slipped into the room. He broke from what he was working on when he felt soft lips caressing his neck. "Mmmm…good morning," he said with a smile on his lips as he angled his neck so that Draco could have more access.
Draco kissed his neck as he spoke "…I…woke up…hoping to entice…you with my version…of a wakeup call…but you were not there…" he said as he kissed from Harry's neck to his lips. He pulled Harry from his chair so that they could switch places. Now that he had him seated in his lap, they were able to deepen their kiss.
Draco found that he loved holding Harry in his arms. Even though they have done some intimate things in the past twenty-four hours, he knows that Harry is not ready to be penetrated as yet. He still wanted to take things a little slow on that front. There are things they need to discuss such as kits and what they wanted to do when they graduated or when they will finally bond. Right now there are too many things in the air and if Harry were to become pregnant too soon it could complicate things further. Harry's life is in constant danger and Draco needs to find away to keep him safe, or at least to stop him from running head first into danger.
Harry pulled away from their kiss and looked at Draco and frown "What are you thinking about? You were kissing me but your mind was a million miles away." He positioned himself over Draco's erection. "I know that I cannot be boring you already?"
Moving his hand from where was caressing Harry's leg, he brought it up to his face and brushed loose strand of hair behind his ear. "I was thinking that I don't want to lose you. There is so much danger surrounding you, from the Dark Lord to Dumbledore." He pulled Harry into him, so that he could rest his head on Draco's shoulder, "I just found you and I can't lose you."
"I'm not ready for you to lose me yet either Draco." He lift his head off Draco's shoulder and looked into those beautiful grey eyes "Draco, I want us to get to know each other more, to one day have you ask for my hand in marriage even though we are fated mates. I want you to take me out on dates and shower me with flowers. I want to have your kits and have you come home from your workday to watch you play with them. I want us to have Christmases, Birthdays, and family dinners. But most of all, Draco I want us to have love. To be completely in love."
"I want those things too Harry and so much more." He pulled him into another passionate kiss. They did not pull apart even after hearing the floo sound that someone was coming through. It was when they heard "I see Brother that you have finally pulled your head out of your arse and spoke to your mate?" Harry pulled away from Draco's lips and laughed at Nev's boldness. Since becoming Duke Gryffindor his confidence had grown. No longer does he stutter or cower from others. He looked over Draco's shoulder to see Nev's smiling face. He was not wearing his glamour, his hair was pulled back in a lose tie and he looked every bit of the strong elf his was. Beside him was his mate and consort Blaise Zabini. Harry got off Draco and walked over to his brother and gave him a hug. "Good morning to you too, Nev." He turned to Blaise who had a shocked look on his face. "Let me be the first if it was not already done by our grandparents to welcome you to the family. I am Duke Harrison James Hufflepuff-Slytherin better known as Harry Potter. And you already know my mate and Consort Draco Lucius Malfoy."
When he turned to look at Draco, he had the same dazed look on his face. Harry looked over at Nev, who looked as if he was trying to hold back a chuckle, this only made Harry laugh. They were not sure if they were more shocked to see each other or whom they were mated to. If Draco is more surprised to see Blaise as Nev's mate or if Blaise would be shocked to see Draco as Harry's mate.
Blaise and Draco looked at each other and then their laughing mate. "I take it that you did not know they were brothers?" Draco asked Blaise.
Blaise shook his head no. "How are they related? As far as I know the Longbottom's, Black's and Potter's are very far removed," he said in bewilderment.
Blaise was shocked and confused, it was the only thing he could think of at the moment. When Nev had told him that they would be having breakfast with the other Heir of Hogwarts he had no idea it would be Harry Potter. He was also stunned to see that Draco was not only there; he was kissing Potter at that. There was so much he did not understand.
"Boys…boys…you stop that laughing this instant." When he looked up he saw Helga trying to get the attention of Harry and Neville. It seemed that they did not hear her and the next instant Harry and Neville yelped as if someone had sent a stinking hex their way. He looked over at Draco and mouthed it was not him. Then he glanced to the picture and saw that Helga had a smug look on her face.
"Oh, come on Grandmother, why did you do that? The look on their faces was priceless," whined Neville.
"I imagine this will not be the only time we will laugh like that again. Wait until we meet the in-laws," declared Harry. "Speaking of which, Neville I invited mine over for lunch to discuss a few things would you like to invite your mother-in-law to be?" He continued as if he did not hear Draco and Blaise gasping for air.
Neville took a minute to think about it. "I suppose with what we are about to talk discuss, besides having lunch is a perfect time to meet my mum-in-law to be."
"Harry" Draco called.
Harry pretended he did not hear Draco call his name, "Would you like to send a…"
"Harry! Do not bloody ignore me," shouted Draco.
He turned and faced Draco with a mischievous smile on his face, "I am not ignoring you sweetheart, I know what you are going to say and I do not want to discuss or argue about it right now." He turned back to Neville and winked at him "Now, Neville would you like to send her the message now before we have breakfast?" he asked him.
Neville turned to Blaise who still had a shocked look on his face. "What do you think Love? Want to have lunch with your mother?"
"Err..." Blaise was pretty sure that his mother would not have a problem with having lunch with his intended. But at this moment he felt as if things are going way too fast. It was as if Potter could read his mind. "Blaise, I know that things seem to be going at a very quick pace, but a lot of things are going to happen in the next few weeks maybe months. We need people that we can trust to have our backs and to help us in the fights to come." He paused for a second and looked over to Neville. It was if they were speaking telepathically because Neville nodded his head. "Can we trust you and your mother Blaise? We know that you are neutral but with the things we will be discussing today we need to know that we can trust you both. I need you to be sure you are ready for all the shit you are going to hear today."
Blaise did not need to think about it. He wanted to be beside Neville in all things. "You can trust us. I am sure of it. For my mother, the fastest way to get her here is to floo call her, or have one of the house elves deliver a message to her."
"Harry, I knew there was something we forgot to tell you. As Heir to Hogwarts you are able to apparate and disapparate within the castle. Also, all of your personal quarters will only allow you and your Consorts and those you have keyed into it. Each quarter has a separate entrance within the castle."
As soon as he finished, Magnus popped in to tell them breakfast was ready and it is to will be served on the balcony. It seems that their rooms were bigger than they thought. "Magnus, could you lead the way please?" As they followed Magnus, he remembered that he did take a tour of the place last night. Another thing he noticed was the difference in the house elves. How is it that they are wearing clothing and speaking properly? He has to make it a point to ask his grandparents. There were too many questions he needed answers to.
Once they made it to the balcony Harry realized they were very high, he could see pretty much the whole castle. He could definitely sit on his balcony and enjoy the Quidditch match without being seen. Before they sat down to eat, Harry told Magnus he had a personal task for him. He trusted that he would be able to get a message to Blaise's mum in a timely manner. He also told Magnus to wait for a response. They sat down and enjoyed a very healthy breakfast of omelets, fruits, toast and porridge with tea and juice on the side.
Harry noticed that the food taste exceptionally good, better than what is served in the Great Hall. The vegetables in his omelet tasted fresh and the fruits crisp. Maybe he was just hungry, after all he and Draco did go to bed last night without eating. In any case, Harry enjoyed his breakfast and the company. He found that he and Blaise had more in common than Harry thought, such as spell crafting and transfigurations. They were not the only ones; although Neville was not a potion genius like Draco, they found their common bond in plants. The conversation between the four flowed smoothly and Harry could not believe how easy it was.
After breakfast they went into the sitting room, Harry went over to the fireplace, he needed to floo call Sev to make sure he knew that everyone would be leaving from his floo to Harry and Draco's private quarters. He threw the floo powder into the fireplace and it flared to life. He saw Sev and Remus sitting in the chair in front of the fireplace they seem to be in a deep conversation.
"Hello, how are you this morning?" he asked to get their attention.
"We are doing well Harry, Remus and I was discussing your message. Is there something else that you needed?"
"Actually there is, I completely forgot to let you know that everyone will leave from your quarters to mine. I will change the password for you and the others to come through. When everyone has arrived and you are all set to come through your password is basilisks' skin."
For some reason Severus noticed there was a difference in Harry's demeanor, he spoke with confidence and authority. Something must have happened between him and Draco and it seemed it was for the better. He did not mention this to Harry; he wanted to see what other things had changed. Giving an affirmative nod that he understood, they both said their goodbyes.
When Harry was done with his conversation he called his personal elf to let him know that there would be guests arriving for lunch. Draco sat back and watched his mate in pride with the way he spoke to his godfather with respect yet authoritatively and the way he was speaking with the elves. Speaking of which, he wondered why the elves spoke perfect English, and why they were dressed in trousers and shirts.
"Magnus, why is it that you speak and act differently from all of the other elves I have known my entire life?" he asked. Magnus turned to Draco, giving him his full attention.
"The founders felt Consort Slytherin, that it was important for all house elves to be educated. We might seem like a lower life form but they wanted all magical creatures to have a formal education. We were able to attend school, we learned how to read and write. We were also given proper clothing to wear. It was also our choice whether we wanted to bond with a family or not. Somewhere along the way our choices were taken away from us."
This made everyone in the room upset; to think that at one time the elves had a choice and how far the Wizarding world had fallen.
"Why have you stayed loyal to the founders all this time?" asked Blaise.
"We the elves of the founders were waiting for the Heirs to return. We knew that once they took up the mantle, they would once again put things to right. I have spoken to the other elves in the castle and they are eager to learn and wear clothing, but they do not want to leave Lady Hogwarts, she has been very good to them."
This saddened Harry; he knew what it was like to grow up feeling inferior and ignorant. He never thought that that house elves would feel the same.
"Thank you Magnus, we will do everything we can to set things back to the way they were for the elves of not only Hogwarts but also the Wizarding world as a whole," he vowed.
They talked a bit more about other things that needed to change. Harry decided that he needed to speak with Neville in private before everyone showed up. "Neville could I borrow you for a bit?"
"Sure Harry."
They both looked at their mates, who nodded. "I need to acquaint myself with our new dwellings," replied Draco. "And I need to speak with Helga on a few things concerning Hufflepuff," he said grudgingly.
The others smiled at the look on Draco's face. No one would believe a consummate Slytherin would be the proxy for Hufflepuff but Harry believes he will bring pride to the house others have often looked at as soft.
"As do I," replied Blaise. "This is out of my element but I want to be prepared for the task at hand."
With that they kissed their mates and went about their task. When Harry and Neville arrived at his personal library, he sat at his desk while Neville sat in the chair in front of his desk.
He did not want to beat around the bush, "Neville I think it's time we show who we are. Our plan to hide and see what would happen from the shadows will not work."
"I completely agree, the longer we hide the more control Dumbledore and Voldemort will gain over the school and the Wizarding world."
"I think we need to tackle each problem one at a time, however. We need to get Dumbledore and all his followers out of the school and away from those that he can easily influence. But I just don't want him gone from the school. I want him dead," Harry declared said with finality.
"We have a lot to put him in Azkaban but I fear that he will find a way to get around that. Maybe the goblins can help us. I will send an owl asking for their help, I am sure that they have more on him than simply the things he did to you. We also have child abuse and neglect to add to the charges."
Nodding his head, Harry had thought of that. He was not sure if he was ready to let the whole world know how he had lived for the first eleven years of his life. "Let's leave that part for the end, I still haven't told Draco everything. He knows some things but before we go that route lets work on the others."
"Have you figured out how to get the dark mark off Snape and Malfoy yet? I have been doing research since we met with them last."
"No, what if it is something simple and we are over thinking it. If Granger was not such a conniving bitch, her research abilities would be helpful."
"Speaking of which have you thought about what you are going to do with the traitors?"
Shaking his head, "Not yet but whatever it is they are going to suffer for their actions. No longer Neville will I sit by and let others hurt me or mine."
Neville looked at his brother. In the past few months since the start of school, Harry had grown not just in height but weight. Despite this, he was still short. But he had grown in confidence. Neville was proud to call him brother and friend.
They were deep in their planning when an elf popped in to let them know they had guests waiting. When they walked into the sitting room they saw Mr. Mrs. Malfoy standing, with Severus and Remus beside them. Harry had always thought that Mrs. Malfoy was beautiful and has always dressed in a manner to fit the pure blood she was. Today, she wore a blue pantsuit tailored to her feminine physique, her hair was straight and showed her face and her robe was white with short sleeves and open. She looked like a model on a runway. He did not want to show it but he was very nervous, with Draco not in the room he did not want to embarrass himself.
"Duke Slytherin, it is a pleasure to meet you," she said before Harry could introduce himself. Then she turned to Neville, "You as well Duke Longbottom" She bowed in respect.
"I must say Lady Malfoy you are beautiful as ever if I was not already mated I would steal you away from your husband," said Neville.
Both Harry and Neville showed her the same respect, by bowing then kissing the back of her hand. She giggled like a schoolgirl while the other men rolled their eyes. Her eyes popped out of her head when Draco and Blasé walked into the room like they owned it.
"Dragon darling! What in heaven's are you doing here?" She asked with surprise.
Draco looked over to Severus, "You did not tell them?"
"It was not for me to tell Draco," he drawled.
It was Lucius who spoke up. "Draco, what is Severus talking about?"
Draco walked over to Harry putting his arm around him and pulling him to his chest, then gave him a kiss on the cheek, "Harry is my mate," he revealed.
"Oh, Dragon that is wonderful!" she exclaimed. "We have to get started right away. Lucius we need to go to Gringotts and get the bonding rings, and then we have to register them with the ministry. Then we have to plan the ceremony. Blaisé is that why you are here as well, to celebrate their bonding?" She said and asked without taking a breath. All the men just stared at her as if she lost her mind.
"Ummm…yes and no, you see Harry was not the only to find his mate Mrs. Malfoy. Blasé and I are mated also," said Neville.
"What a blessing, a double bonding. I must get in touch with Augusta; she must be ecstatic as am I. And, Blasé I know that your mother will be happy for you." She went
"I will be happy about what?" asked another voice that Harry had never heard before. When he turned around there was a beautiful woman standing behind him, with Magnus beside her. He bowed and popped out.
Everyone knew that Blaise's mother was beautiful but Harry was not expecting such a regal and gorgeous woman. Her skin color was that of caramel, her eyes were gold with a hint of green and her hair flowed down her back in ringlets. Harry could see why her beauty would be deadly to men who crossed her path because once she had them in her web they were trapped.
"Stephania, don't you look wonderful?" said Mrs. Malfoy. "Isn't wonderful news our boys are to be bonded? Blasé and Neville make a wonderful couple." She went on oblivious to Stephania's surprise at her announcement.
"È esatto mio figlio?" inquired Blasé's mother.
"Sì, la madre lo è, io sono il suo compagno, il mio treasure " responded Blaisé.
Stephania was blindsided by it all, the only thing she knew today after receiving the message from the house elf was that her son needed to speak with her. Now she finds out that he is mated to a Longbottom no less. She had nothing against the house of Longbottom but she felt a little warning would have been helpful. She would support Blaisé in all things as long as he is happy with his choices.
She needed to know "E tu sei soddisfatto di questo mio piccolo?"
He smiled and looked at Neville then back to her "Sì, mamma io sono."
She walked over to him and Neville extending her hand. "I accept and bless this union as the only parent to Blaisé, make him happy Lord Longbottom or else" The threat was left open and nothing else needed to be said.
She turned to everyone in the room, raising an eyebrow in true Slytherin form, "Now will someone tell me what I am doing here, and what the bloody hell is Draco doing with his arms around Potter?"
