Pairing: Yaoi M/M, Harem – top Harry x bottoms Draco / Cedric / Theo / de-aged Severus / Tom (TMR)
Last Time:
A chunk of skin popped off the third finger of the figure's right hand. The person cursed and threw the paper to the ground only to have another flap of flesh fly off. The cloak, damp with rotting goo, fluttered in the wind as the figure quickly walked away swearing quietly about an unstable body and needing fresh flesh …
XXXXXXXXXX
Somewhere, surprisingly close to the ministry, there was a small blonde girl with big brown eyes wandering around looking for anything to eat. She was skin and bones, and sadly, she wasn't alone. A thing creeping in the shadows spotted her and moved towards her.
"H-hello?" She whimpered as she heard a crack coming from behind her, but nothing was there when she turned to see. After taking a deep breath to calm down she continued her search. Only a moment later she took step and the ground gave way under her. The new opening swallowed up her leg and trapped her there.
"Help! Someone-" The little girl froze as she heard a crack from above her. The hairs on her neck as she looked up.
To her horror a massive spider hovered over her head. She screamed as the legs grabbed her. The terror turned to pain as the creature pulled at her freeing her leg easily, but it looked like the skin was still in the hole. Still she flailed trying to get away even though her leg was gushing blood.
"Shit! Over here!" Suddenly the little girl felt weightless and saw two heading towards her, but her vision became blurry from blood loss and she blacked out. "Is she going to be alright?" Came the voice that the little girl heard before and she slowly woke up to hear other voices.
"Yes … she was lucky it wasn't worse. A few days rest and she'll be running around with the others, master." The little girl opened her eyes to see a young man with silvery white hair and the man standing with him who noticed her wake up, "Good, she's up."
The silver haired man smiled at her, "Hello little one. I'm Ryan Peverel and this man with me is Sirron. What's your name?"
"Maria." She said so softly that it was hard to hear her.
"A lovely name." Ryan said softly, "Tell me, Maria, why were you all alone in such a dangerous place?"
Maria winced and looked down at her tiny hands that were fiddling with the blankets, "Mama saw me make a flower dance … she said I was a demon like my papa and that I'd should stay with him …"
"Where's your papa now?" Ryan asked patiently.
"He came … but he took me to a scary place and disappeared. The only thing he said was mud-blood … what does that mean? … why'd he leave me?" The little girl asked looking up at Ryan with big pleading eyes that were brimming with tears.
Ryan stared indifferently at the the little girl for a moment before smiling, "It's a mean phrase made by foolish people who think certain things, like blood, are really important and those who aren't pure in blood are worthless. Those thoughts from your papa and fears from your mama are wrong. You aren't a demon or someone to be tossed aside … you're no different than me." He said happily as sparkles of light began dancing around the room.
"So pretty!" Maria gasped in awe as she watched the pretty multicolor lights dance for a moment before descending into Ryan's outstretched hands where they merged into the white silhouette of a fairy that fluttered towards the girl.
Purple eyes watched as the little girl giggled, "Would you like to learn?"
"Can I?!" Maria exclaimed excitedly not seeing the fairy disappear.
"Yes, when you turn 11 there's a school-" Ryan paused and chuckled at the pout on the little girl's mouth, "How old are you, Maria?"
The little girl tilted her head cutely before counting on her fingers, "5!"
"Oh so you're a big girl! I see! Well in that case can I trust you with a secret?" Ryan said secretively and she nodded while leaning in to listen, "I'm working on making a school for all kids under 11. It will be ready in 4 months right after I tie up some loose ends from my past. Don't tell the others ok?"
Maria smiled excitedly, "I won't! … others?" She asked curiously.
"Holly!" The little girl jumped in fear as a small skinny creature in a green dress appeared pop, but Ryan patted her head to calm her, "Don't worry. My dear friend here is going to take you to the home of a friend of mine once you're better. You, and several other kids will be cared for there until I get something more permanent set up." Ryan looked into her eyes, "The next time you see me I will have the school ready and you'll have your room to live in. You will be with many others like us and have a home." He said sincerely. Maria was too stunned to speak. She just watched quietly as Ryan kissed her head and left with the man who remained silent the whole time.
"Holly will be back, little miss. You must stay two more days before I can take you home, but Holly will visit every couple hours to check on you." Holly said before popping away.
Being alone again made the little girl sad. For a while she thought she was abandoned at the hospital like place, but as promised Holly reappeared many times over the next few days. A healer finally told her she could leave and Holly took her to a small home with kids playing outside.
"It's a packed place, but not for long. Holly will care for you like all the little ones here so no worries. That man looking out from the window is Mr. Lovegood. He and his daughter, Luna, own this place so be polite." Holly said cheerily as she guided the little girl to the other children, "Holly brought a new friend. This is Maria! Be nice!"
It was the nicest anyone has been to her. Maria was happy and having fun with the 14 other kids despite some being older her. Mr. Lovegood was also quite nice and she heard hints that there were a few others homes like this one. Apparently one of the older boys heard that Mr. Lovegood went to check on the kids being cared for by a house elf named Berry and another group watched over by a Tinsel. It made Maria happy that there were so many kids like her!
"As nice as this is I hope no more kids come. This place is getting cramped even with the expansion charms." One older boy complained just within earshot of Maria.
The little girl smiled realizing they didn't know what Ryan planned. She was sure now that Ryan was to be trusted and she believed that even as weeks turned to months. Despite four more kids arriving over three months, Mr. Lovegood's daughter coming home from school and the terrible news of someone named Harry Potter dying she believed in Ryan.
"Hey! Who would like to help me and father with this issue?" The young woman named Luna asked.
Several kids came to see the magazine pages spread out on the table. They all knew about the Lovegoods magazine called the Quibbler. Mr. Lovegood occasionally lets them pick topics and pictures, but this time was different. This time they were asked to read it and it was a very exciting topic. The topic was Ryan and the plans for an Orphanage that'd double as a school!
"Cool! Is this true?!" An older girl asked excitedly after Luna read the article out loud for everyone.
"Yes! It'll be soon so be ready to go." Mr. Lovegood said smiling a the excited kids.
"Does this mean we won't see you or Holly again?" A young boy asked sadly when he realized what that meant.
Maria frowned. She knew this'd happen, but she didn't think she'd lose everyone else too. Thankfully Holly was there to clear things up.
"Holly won't be away. Master has been planning this and he wanted to start making sure children had a home as soon as he could. It wasn't until recently that he got access to a place big enough, but he knew he would and he let his house elves care for you because we're being reassigned to the place. You'll always have Holly!" Holly explained happily much to the kids' delight.
Luna smiled, "Father and I will be visiting too. We need to get the word out to get other kids to go to school there after all."
Everything was happy again and the time soon came. Holly woke them up early and made them breakfast as usual. After eating the house elf told them to hold onto each and she transported them to a beautiful castle. In front of the castle doors stood Ryan with several other people.
"You're the first to arrive! Welcome to Sun castle! I'm Percy Weasley and these are going to be your teachers, but before we go through introductions let's show you all your rooms!" Percy said as he pulled out some cute colorful keys.
Draco smiled as he saw the keys turn into bracelets and wrapped around the kids' wrists, "A clever way to keep them from losing their keys. If your brothers want more sponsors my family will be happy to help." He said after the kids were taken by the house elf to see their rooms.
Percy smirked, "Just because Fred and George found a talent for these toys doesn't mean they stopped their pranking. Be careful who you fund." He warned teasingly getting the other adults there to laugh.
"Hey, how many kids should we expect?" A witch in a healer uniform with wild black hair asked.
"There were 47 kids under my house elves' care. How that will change after the election I don't know." Ryan said.
With a nod Percy took note of the number, "Yes, it will depend on what action is taken to actively search for kids like you did apparently and,of course, on parents bringing their kids for just the school portion. We plan on taking the next month to set up the school schedule and let the kids settle into their lives here."
"If I may ask how long have you been planning this? 47 kids is a lot to just collect over time especially for someone so young such as yourself." One man clad in dark blue robes asked.
"Since I learned that being a Peverell meant something. I knew I had to use that to help. If it wasn't for the lack of properties appropriate this would've come up a while ago. Peverells didn't care for real estate so my only help came from those I held apprenticeships with or friends … until I unexpectedly inherited the Potter and Black estates. Despite the lack of space I knew I couldn't leave any of them behind knowing how my life was. As for the number … you never looked in the forest along the edge of Knockturn Alley … a fair number of homeless kids were right there." Ryan said appeasing the wizard's suspicions, but this line of inquiry did prove that he didn't choose fools to care for these kids and that made him happy.
Draco sighed, "Even if you got this all set beforehand I bet Dumbledore would've shot it down." He said sharply getting nods of agreement from the other adults.
"Yes … Severus is setting up his shop today. It will take most of the day since most of his potion ingredients can't be moved with magic, but he'll be ready should you need anything soon. Also I moved anything of mine out of Moon castle and back home. If you need anything don't hesitate to ask." Ryan said as he handed Percy the keys to Moon castle.
With everything in the orphanage being handled Ryan knew he had to focus on an issue skulking around out there. A curious glance from Draco was ignored, of course, causing the most adorable pout to form on the blonde's lips. Succeeding in teasing his young lover was enough so he left the wards and apparated to the Flamel manor where he found Cedric, Tom and Theo in the living room.
"This was part of your plans, wasn't it?" Tom asked as he tossed the newspaper down onto the coffee table.
Ryan looked at the article about Amos Diggory, Cedric's father, running for minister, "I would set it up for you to take control, but despite everything you've done to work against Dumbledore you never took a political stance. No one knows the real, non Voldemort, you as a public figure. It'd be hard to get votes. I trust Amos, but if you disagree please say so."
"Well …" Tom sighed. He wanted to help run everything, but Ryan was right, "I guess I can have my followers back Amos … did you know?' Tom asked as he pointed to another article with a picture of the very man who tried to interview to be a teacher in the orphanage, but caused a scene when the creatures were accepted over him.
"A Dumbledore supporter huh …" Ryan murmured as he read the article describing Mr. Iles' crimes, "I figured he was up to something … I see why the goblins are handling this now instead of letting the new minister deal with it. Mr. Iles laundered money for the Order. I'm glad I made his record public."
Cedric frowned, "It must suck to know these things about your clients, but not being able to do anything until a report is filed."
"Yes, but keeping clients' trust is essential for a bank. It will go against everything they promised if they acted without a reason." Ryan commented pointedly.
Sirron and Argus entered the room and Argus handed Ryan a muggle newspaper, "Page 5, master."
Cedric smirked knowingly as Ryan looked through the article, "I think you might want to explain to Tom and Theo what issue is … skulking, around out there."
"Yes, now that I have a sign." Ryan muttered.
"What?" Theo asked and looked at the article Ryan turned to, "A partially eaten corpse? … near the Leaky Cauldron no less … What's that mean?"
Ryan's purple eyes glanced at Tom and was followed by that sly smile that made the humans blush, "Someone decided they knew better than you and broke their soul."
Tom scowled, "Dumbledore is alive-" Ryan's laughter interrupted his comment, "Is it not Dumbledore? … Moody?"
"They are too self righteous to use dark magic despite what their dark actions and nasty use of potions may suggest … no, this person likes to prove that they are better and that desire drove them to compete with you …" Ryan said with a glance at Tom and smirked as Tom and Theo's eyes lit up as they realized who the person was.
Theo cringed, "I did think that lack of concern about the execution was weird. What are you going to do?"
"Souls are my specialty so I'm going to deal with this mess." Ryan said simply before turning to Argus and Sirron.
"Wait, how will you know where to find the idiot?" Tom asked curiously.
"The procedure I suspect was used would cause an explosion of sorts and since there was no sign of it here it must've been in muggle world. Muggles have a slow response time so one could recover and leave with little trouble. With the appearance of that body I know the fool is in this world now … and there's only one place they'll go. I'll be back soon." Ryan said kissing each of his lovers.
The demons apparated Ryan away right after and they appeared inside Hogwarts. As the three walked through the empty halls only to hear angry screams echo through what was supposed to be an empty castle. With a casual stride they followed the howls of rage to the library where they found a cloaked figure throwing books in a furious tantrum.
"Now that's not nice-" Ryan didn't even flinch as the book the cloaked figure, who whirled around in anger and shock, threw at him was swatted away by Argus. Ryan, for his part, just looked at the hunk of flesh that was once a lip slid off the cloaked figure's face and hit the floor with at squish exposing white bone. "You always found ways to give me lip, Granger."
