(I’m thinking)
“I’m speaking”
Pairing: Yaoi M/M, Harem – top Harry x bottoms Fred / George / Albus / Gellert / Severus / Tom (TMR) / Aberforth
Last Time:
Before anyone could be killed Harry, without his hoody and with his even larger black wings out. Came out of no where and slashed the creature with a powerful clawed strike. The professor looked at the sizzling inferi and up at Harry, but he didn’t have a chance to even ask for answer for a dozen more inferi appeared …
XXXXXXXXXX
“sorry professor” Harry said before scooping up Tom and with a strong yet effortless flap of his wings he went up into the air by several feet and landed near the twins “do you have your wands?” Harry asked as the horde of inferi changed direction and headed for them again
“no” the twins exclaimed in perfect sync. They were not expecting this tonight!
“get in the tunnels now!” Harry yelled as he turned just in time to splash an acidic liquid coming his claws onto the faces of the first row of inferi. The minor chaos caused a temporary pile up hat ought Fred and George time to run though they didn’t to, but without any weapon the two red heads would be only hold back Harry who could clear handle a few inferi “you go too professor”
“you’re my student Harry, I can’t leave” Tom said firmly. Yes the stars weren’t bright enough to light up the area, which was just a bit too far away for the castle’s lanterns to be of any help. Yes he was only professor against a dozen inferi, which he never fought before. Yes Harry seemed very capable, but even with all those strikes against him he couldn’t let his student fight alone. However Harry thrust his hand passed Tom’s head. The professor actually thought Harry tried to hurt him for a split second until he heard a sizzle. Tom turned and saw an inferi impaled on Harry’s clawed hand. It was clear Tom would’ve died right then and there if not for Harry. He wasn’t a fool and realized he was out matched. With only a worried glance at Harry who’s wing was suddenly bitten by the walking corpses earning an enraged and inhuman growl, he followed the Weasleys into these strange tunnels in the walls he never knew about.
Tom watched the wall shut keeping him and the twins safe in the perfectly lit tunnels, but locking Harry outside with those monsters “did you two know about Harry?” the reds heads just started laughing “what is so funny?” Tom asked shocked that they found anything funny about this situation.
“haha Harry won the costume contest without a costume!” the twins exclaimed though their laughter. Even Tom had to admit it was amusing, but it made things a little more puzzling. Why would Harry feel the need to hide that he was a creature? “we only suspected something like this, but we didn’t know for sure” they both said in perfect sync.
“you suspected?” Tom asked a little puzzled as to how they suspected when he never even considered the possibility.
“when James Potter was teaching and pretending he knew so much about Harry he mentioned that Harry and Michael used to look alike. They look nothing alike now. Sure height and hair color can change and it’d be normal, but eye color? No. we didn’t think about it until the DADA class after that year, but it was clear Harry had something like an inheritance” Fred said casually.
“he never told us, but we don’t care. However we don’t know what he is. Do you professor?” George asked curiously. It was clear they cared a great deal for Harry.
Tom twitched “I don’t know … at first sight he could be mistaken as a demon, but never in my life have I heard of a creature that has acid seeping from his claws” Tom said as he turned his gaze back to the wall that stood between him and Harry. He knew he had to distract himself or he’d run out there to help and end up hurting himself or Harry so he went into professor mode and shifted to the next logical line of questioning “what are these tunnels and where are your pranking supplies?” he demanded in his no nonsense voice that kept everyone except Nagini in line.
“pranking? Us?” they exclaimed innocently. Tom didn’t buy the act …
XXXXXXXXXX
“where did he go?” Albus muttered as the group searched he path Tom usually went through the castle for his patrol “did he go all the way to the courtyard?”
Severus frowned as he readied his wand in case something does happen “if we haven’t run into him yet then it seems likely”
“hold it” Aberforth ran to the window and looked towards the forest’s edge “over there … I see something”
Gellert leaned over and saw the mass of shadows in the dark “I see it … some people fighting I think. Tom might be there” he said as the entire group started moving quickly to get to the side courtyard, which was one of many at the hug castle, and cut through it to see the commotion “ok, break it up!” he yelled as he fired a light spell at the sky to get a better look at what was going on and they were all taken aback when three inferi jolted off the dark form, who the professors assumed was a body, to charge them. Before any of them could raise their wands the form stood tall and thrust its arm straight through two of the inferi and bolted high in the sky with the third on. A loud crack was heard and the last inferi landed in front of them motionless save for the sizzling skin.
The faintest rustle of the grass made Severus spin around “H-Harry?” he gasped making the others spin around to see Harry standing there without a shirt and sporting fangs, claws and beautiful wings. With the light shining light on everything they saw what was clearly a creature, not a costume, standing surrounded by the broken sizzling bodies of what must’ve been at least a dozen inferi. A gruesome scene indeed, but a strangely enchanting.
“you’re … a creature” Severus stated as he reached out to touch Harry’s chest as if to confirm this wasn’t a dream.
Before answering Harry flexed his magic making the castle’s tunnels open to release Tom, Fred and George “it’s safer” he said to them as the to red heads ran over to him and hugged him “and yes professor, I’m a creature”
“so you’re legally an adult, right?” Severus asked to clarify what he heard about creatures.
“yes …” Harry trailed off feeling nervous. While everyone else was staring at Severus most likely thinking something like ’whoa, forward much’ his instincts were screaming ‘shit run!’ “why?”
“I wanted to know if I could smack you without getting into too much trouble” Severus said bluntly before slapping Harry hard across the face startling everyone.
Harry barely flinched at the contact, but he was left rather confused “what’d I do?”
“what did you do?! You have the fucking nerve to stand there and say you did nothing when you knowingly understood everything that came out of that gossiping serpent’s mouth!” Severus snapped angrily.
The creature paled “oh that” Harry gulped as he saw all the professor’s eyes narrow in on him. the only people not pissed at him were Fred and George, but that won’t save him “could I explain somewhere that isn’t crawling with inferi?”
“crawling?” Tom blinked as he saw the remains spread across the courtyard slowly dissolving away “you killed the several that attacked. Are you saying there are more?”
“yes … about 50 or so more. Those ones that attacked must’ve been told to guard the main group and kill anyone who may expose them. I can explain another time-”
Gellert shook his head and canceled the light spell he had up “you will explain once I go tell the headmistress about this” he said and began walking toward the light of the castle leaving the other professors behind in the barely lit area with Harry who could see just fine.
“that would be unwise considering she’s the one who probably put them there or in the very least arranged for them to be there” Harry said making Gellert freeze in his tracks.
Albus looked insulted “the headmistress has done a lot for you Harry and you accuse her of this mess? That isn-”
“Acromantulas, trolls, centaurs, pixies, hippogriffs and that’s only a few of the creatures that inhabit the forest and all of them are territorial. There is no way such a large group of inferi could have made it through without being spotted and they would be picked off by every creature in there. Even the squid in the lake would have noticed the commotion. Someone helped them get here by portkey or apparating. We all know portkeys don’t work in the wards and only one person is allowed to apparate” Harry could see the confusion on everyone’s faces dwindle and slowly get replaced with a look of hurt “I’m sorry”
Severus managed to shake his head absentmindedly as he dealt with the realization that Harry was right “don’t be … however this means we really need to discuss this before things get worse”
Harry nodded “we should go see my father and get some help removing these inferi”
“your father?” Tom blinked completely confused “who is your father?”
“I am” all of those present turned and saw a lantern coming out of the forest being carried by none other than Hagrid.
“you already know about the inferi I take it” Harry said as a few large acromantulas could be seen destroying the ineri who were foolishly ordered to stay put for they barely moved as they were devoured.
“yes, Aragog sensed something wrong and summoned me to discuss it. I just returned after searching the forest-” Hagrid’s eyes narrowed showing a serious side most people never saw before “your wing is bleeding little giant. Did you fight them?” he asked and knelt down to see the wound ignoring the dumbfounded looks from the other people present. If Harry was going to come clean so will he and he will help his son no matter what.
Harry flexed his wings showing they were fine “it’s only a cut from the ones that bit me. As for fighting them I’m afraid I had little choice in the matter Dad” he said noticing Fred and George not so subtly shooting Tom a glare. The professor flinched and turned away. it was kind of his fault.
Hagrid frowned “I see. Should I assume some explanations are wanted?” he said and sighed as they all made it clear this talk was going to happen tonight “very well, follow me. Aragog’s children can handle this” Hagrid stated as he stood to his feet and lead them all to his hut, which was just big enough for the five professors and three students to find seats “I’ll start the hot water boiling for some tea. So where would you all like to start this story?” the half giant asked as he set the kettle over the fire and got cloth for Harry who started dabbing the blood from his wing.
“how about how did Harry end up in your care?” Tom asked.
“we know the Potters abandoned Harry because they thought he was a squib” the twins said bitterly. They hated those fools.
“hmmm … yes, well technically they were only considering getting rid of him when they just so happen to lose Harry right here at Hogwarts during their usual end of the year waltz around the castle to show off their son Michael. They rarely brought Harry with them and they just decided to bring him that day and he got separated when he went to find food he could actually eat. The centaurs were patrolling and one of them found Harry in the forest trying to eat something not safe for him” Hagrid said, but paused to get the teacups, which left the air somewhat tense for some reason no one could figure out.
Tom looked at Harry with a confused look on his face “why didn’t you tell us you were a creature?”
“I could have been executed” Harry said without looking up from the wound on his wing.
“but that would only happen if-” Tom started, but his mouth froze as his brain made a scary connect “you aren’t on the list of safe creatures, are you?”
“I’m not on any list!” Harry quickly added so they didn’t get the wrong idea and think he was categorized as a dangerous creature.
“it’s true” Hagrid said to the skeptical professors. The twins didn’t seem to care. In fact they never left Harry’s side and seemed fascinated when Harry tucked his claws, fangs and wings away “Harry is a rebirth of a creature called a Gidatuko. Don’t bother trying to find any documents on it. There’s nothing on their existence except in the foundations of pureblood families’ laws and because of that we had no clue of what he was until he was forced to stay with the Potters”
Gellert’s eyes widened as he looked at Harry in awe “you used that chance to look for information. That’s a great idea, but why didn’t you just get an evaluation done before school?” he asked and immediately regretted it when Harry flinched.
A awkward silence enveloped the room as Hagrid set out the tea “as I was saying Harry was trying to eat something he shouldn’t. He was so starved he tried to eat a dead animal” Hagrid explained seemingly ignoring Gellert’s question “it would not have been good him, but he was going to die soon if he didn’t eat. The centaur brought Harry to me and it didn’t take long to find that Harry needed to drink blood to survive. While that alone is not enough to fear being marked as a dangerous creature after an evaluation there were other reasons. The most important being that I am not his legal parent. I could not drop him off at St. Mungo’s for an evaluation and not expect to be arrested. I tried taking Harry back to the Potters and those scars are a result of that meeting. I had to save Harry from death twice because of those monsters and I would be damned if I let it happen a third time by being arrested and letting him fall back into their care” he spat bitterly at the thought of the Potters’ version of tender loving care while pouring the tea.
“I see, I didn’t even consider that you’d be in trouble, but you’re right … so you did everything you could to care for Harry” Albus said feeling a little awestruck at this side to the half giant.
Hagrid shrugged “it wasn’t difficult. The creatures of the forest love Harry and I know a few people in muggle world who go to a good daycare so no one here knew. The most trouble came when Harry’s body started changing. The slow appearance of claws with acid, fangs and wings could have made things really bad if someone found out and thought he was dangerous. That’s why we stayed silent about everything”
“I’d like to point out that I’m human and I speak with snakes just fine. Telling us about at least that quality would not have raised any alarms!” Tom snapped as he held his teacup as if he was considering dumping the steaming contents on the creature.
Harry raised his hands in a defensive gesture as Hagrid looked amused “in my defense that had a lot more to do with James. Can you blame me for not wanting him to learn about that?” he argued hoping it was enough to save his skin. The creature relaxed as the professor seemed to understand his predicament at the time “ummm how did you learn about that by the way? I made sure to burn everything Nagini sent me over the past few years-”
Severus looked horrified “WHAT DID THAT SNAKE SEND YOU?!”
The creature flinched “letters and pictures of all five of you-”
“five? … SHE GOT ME TOO?” Aberforth yelped as his face turned red as he recalled all the details the others told him the serpent tried to reveal. He dreaded what she wrote about in those letters to Harry and what those pictures showed. It couldn’t be good …
“you live in the same house as her! it’s a miracle she didn’t start on you sooner!” Albus snapped.
The twin put their fingers to their mouths and let out two sharps whistles to get everyone to stop fighting “before we ask Harry-” Fred started.
“for all the dirty details-” said George.
“he knows about you guys perhaps-” Fred said.
“we should discuss an important matter-”
“like the headmistress for example” they finished together in perfect sync and smirked as the professors blushed sheepishly. It seems they forgot about that subject.
Tom twitched slightly as he remembered the inferi “yes of course … way would she do that? Those inferi could butcher everyone and how would she get away? As Harry mentioned portkeys don’t work and apparating isn’t easy even if she’s allowed. If I remember correctly there’s an emergency ward that will even keep her inside because the headmistress or headmaster has to protect the children” he said as if trying to find any hole in that logic so he didn’t have to feel so betrayed.
“that’s not completely true. yes the emergency wards are real and would prevent her from leaving. I saw two incidents where this happened in the past, but there is a portkey that can work through the wards. It’s illegal, but being a Death Eater I think creating an illegal portkey is the least serious of her crimes” Hagrid muttered before sipping his own tea.
Gellert gaped “she’s a Death Eater?” he murmured in disbelief and that started another conversation about the Dark Lord still being alive …
