Chapter 16: Planning Part 2
They were seated at lunch, the conversation comprised of each telling what they knew about Harry's and Neville's story. Stephania listen with interest, it fascinated her that two of the most influential families were now tied together by fate. She studied Neville, noticing during his story there was no mention of his grandmother. When there was a break in the story she asked "Caro cuore, Neville, why is your Nona not here?"
A sad look came over Neville's face; Blaise reached out and caressed his hand in encouragement. Everyone at the table got quiet at the question. Only Blaise and Harry knew why Neville did not include his grandmother into the group of people that he could trust.
"My grandmother does not care for me, Madam Zabini. When she looks at me, she only sees my father. I have always been a disappointment to her, from what I want to do with my life and because I am gay. Even though our society sees nothing wrong with two men loving each other, my grandmother finds it immoral. She has gone as far as to try and write a bonding contract to Lord Bellsmore for his daughter's hand in marriage behind my back. I only found out about it because Melissa Bellsmore and I are friends. Out of respect for me, she owled me and told me what my grandmother tried to do. Another fact for her not being here is that she is Dumbledore's girl through and through. He has her in his back pocket. She has no idea of my magical inheritance and I have no intention of do not intend on telling her."
All but two were stunned to hear such things about Augusta Longbottom. They all knew she loved her son, but to compare the son to the father was a grave sin in their book.
"Sometimes others cannot get past their grief to see how they are hurting the ones that will love them beyond compare."
This came from Severus; everyone noticed that while he spoke he looked right at Harry. They could see that he was also sorry for the pain and things that he said to Harry over the years. Although, their relationship has improved over the past couple of weeks, they still had a long way to go. "He might have Lily's eyes and look like his father but he is just Harry" thought Severus.
Lunch continued after that conversation and no one seemed as if they wanted to move from the table. Harry sat back and observed the occupants around the table. Lucius, Remus and Severus seemed to be in a deep discussion about some book they read. Neville, Blaise and Draco were discussing the latest news about the upcoming Quidditch game while Mrs. Malfoy and Stephania were talking about a double bonding ceremony. "Oh Merlin" thought Harry, what had he gotten himself into. While he was watching everyone, he noticed that Lucius and Severus hissed and gripped their arm. That could only mean one thing Voldemort was calling them. This was the perfect time to see if he could break the spell on the mark. He got up from his seat and walked over to them.
"I know that he is calling you, Neville and I have been trying to find a way to break his hold on you. Now that we are planning on getting rid of both Voldemort and Dumbledore, breaking his connection now would be a great start. Roll up your sleeve, I want to try something."
Lucius was the first to do as he was asked. When Harry looked down at his forearm and noticed that the snake in the skull were moving and hissing.
Snake {you must hide} the snake hissed, it sounded worried which was a surprise to Harry.
Harry {who must hide?}
Snake {the one we protect, he is in danger. I am here to warn him of danger}
Harry {he is not in danger, who told you this?}
Snake {the one who made my brethrens and I from where we slept. We were told that when he calls them to him it is because they are in danger.}
Harry {the man who told you this lied to you he used you to harm the people he asked you to protect. Do you know how you got here; is there a way for you to go home? Do you have a name?}
Snake {I do not have a name; I was made much like the others. We take the shape of the one that made us.}
Harry thought for a minute, it was as if the answer was staring in his face.
Harry {do you know how you were made?}
Snake {I was made from snake magic. Only those who can speak to snake can fashion us or change us to their will.}
Harry {Does that mean since you were made out of nothing you can be erased?}
Snake {the magic that was used to create us is as old as time itself. We cannot be erased unless the one that made us dies. However, another can change us for a different purpose. We were made by magic spoken in snake tongue; we can be changed the same way by adding the blood of our new master}
Harry gasped, that was a bit out there for his liking. But, he did not like the fact that Voldemort had lied to the snake in his purpose for creating them. He looked up from the dark mark and repeated everything he and the snake talked about.
"But what of the skull?" drawled Severus "That I believe, other than the snake, is the significance of the dark mark?"
Harry relayed the question to the snake.
Snake {with the addition of your blood you change what I will become and what I will look like.}
Lucius hissed in pain once more, it seems Voldemort was getting impatient with his loyal follower. Harry had to believe that what he was about to do would work. Not only was he acting like a Gryffindor, jumping in without thinking of the consequences, he could not bear the thought of his soon to be father-in-law being hurt further by Voldemort. He searched the table for a knife that was sharp enough and asked Severus to sanitize it. He then cut his palm holding it over Lucius his arm he let the blood drip over the mark.
He then hissed, not knowing what he was going to say, he pulled something together. {You are no longer nameless; I'll call you Balthazar, your purpose is to guard and protect that which I hold dear. You are the representation of lion and snake.} He then rested his bloodied palm on the arm; it started to glow with a white light and Lucius hiss in pain once more. His arm was glowing also and Harry could see the veins in his forearm. Sweat beaded on both Harry and Lucius, he did not realize he would be using so much magic. A few minutes later the glow disappeared.
Harry lifted his arm from Lucius' forearm reaching for a napkin he wiped away the blood. When the arm was clean what he saw made his eyes pop out of his head. Where the dark mark was now stood an exact replica of Godric Gryffindor's sword with Balthazar wrapped around it from the hilt all around the body. He did not get a chance to say a word to Balthazar or Lucius because the next thing Harry knew was that he was falling to the ground then everything went black.
He woke up to hear Draco voice. "I swear to all the gods, I am going to kill him. Why would he do something like this without talk to me first?"
"We were all sitting at the table, Dragon, you had ample time to stop him." This came from Mrs. Malfoy
"And lets not forget this is Potter we are talking about – act first think later," drawled Severus.
"See if I help you with your mark, since that is the way you feel about me," whispered Harry. At least he thought he whispered it because the whole room got quiet. They must have heard him. He felt someone sit beside him, then the feeling of fingers running through his hair. He knew it was Draco. He sighed into the sensation of being comforted. He knew his mate was upset with him, but how was he supposed to know what he did was going to take so much of his power, he just wanted to help. He bolted up, Draco's fingers slipped through his hair. He looked around the room for Lucius, gesturing the man over to him he needed to see.
When the older man came over to him he rolled up his sleeves without being asked. It was not his imagination; the dark mark was completely gone. No longer was it a skull and a snake but a sword with a snake wrapped around it. He hissed at Balthazar {are you ok?}
Balthazar {I am fine young master, because of your blood I will only answer to you}
Harry {thank you but all I require is for you to protect him}
With that Harry brought his eyes up to Lucius, "Do you feel his call anymore?"
"No, the moment your blood touched the mark it stopped." He replied in awe.
"Let's hope it stays that way." He glanced up to Severus "when I regain my strength we will get rid of your mark also. We cannot have the new Headmaster of Hogwarts with the dark mark, spy or not."
The occupants in the room gasped, Severus' mask dropped. "The…"
"Don't you dare say another word!" Harry looked around to see a very irate and pissed off veela, who continued without taking his eyes off Harry. "Could you guys give us a few minutes please? There are something's I need to discuss with my mate."
Harry had never seen people move so fast before in his life. Once the room was empty except for him and Draco, he was expecting to be yelled at what shocked him was when he was engulfed into strong arms.
"Do you know how scared I was when you fell to the floor? I thought I lost you when I just found you. Please, Harry, I know that we have wars to fight and I know of your desire to save everybody but the only thing I am asking you is to let me stand beside you. Talk to me before you jump head first. I cannot lose you! In the short time we have spent together, you have become my life."
Harry did not know what to say so he just held on to his mate. He buried his face into his mate's neck, inhaling his scent. Draco was right he should have stopped and thought before he did what he did as insignificant as it seemed at the time, Harry should have done more research.
They sat like that for a bit just holding each other, not saying a word to each other. A knock at the door brought them back to the present "If you too are done snogging in there, we still have lots to do," Neville said wryly.
Sighing, their moment was interrupted. They pulled apart from each other "I guess we better get back out there?"
Draco nodded his head "I guess." He pulled Harry close and pecked his lips a few times "How much longer do we have to deal with this, I want to be alone with you." He said this as he placed kisses on Harry's lips, chin and lastly his neck where he sucked on it, leaving a mark.
Harry was becoming breathless, "if we can get everyth…. mmm…thing worked out today. We will have all day tomorrow to ourselves." Nestling Draco's cheek, he moved his hand to the base of his mate's neck pressing him further into him. Draco moved from his neck up to his lips kissing him passionately. Harry moaned into the kiss, which encouraged Draco more. Another knock sound at the door.
"If you two do not bring your arses out here this instant I will come in there!" Yelled Mrs. Malfoy. "Besides you two are not bonded and should not even so much as hold hands and if I find out you are doing anything more there will be consequences," she continued.
They stopped mid kiss, lips still touching, opening their eyes looking at each other. Their feelings were growing faster each moment they spent together, their mating bond was forming. He closed his eyes and enjoyed having his dominant mate take care of him. He sighed because for the first time in his life he was happy. He had someone who worried about him, even if it is over the smallest thing. He had a brother who loved him and two father figures who it seemed would so much as rip the head off the next person who looked at him the wrong. He wanted to keep this happiness to make sure no one he cared about got hurt.
They jerked away from each other when the door banged open, a very unhappy Narcissa Malfoy walked in. "Now I told you boys to get out here, and here I find you two snogging. I hope you have not had sex yet because Draco if you give me grand kits before you're fully bonded I will hex you both."
Both Draco and Harry flushed red at her mention of sex, if she only knew the things they have already done.
"Besides I am too young to be called Grand'Mere, granted..." she stopped mid rant seeing how red the boys' faces are. "It seems I am a bit too late to stop anything other than just kissing and holding hands. In any case, do not forget your conception charms... Come along I believe we have other things to discuss." With that she swept out of the room, both boys were far too embarrassed to continue anything, so they followed after her. When they were all assembled again in the sitting room, they got down to business. The first thing that was discussed was getting Dumbledore out of Hogwarts. With all of the things he has done it should be easy or so Harry thought.
"Dumbledore's focus has strayed from the safety of for the students of Hogwarts to that of the war. Add to that, students who have died while in his care, and those he has stolen from…. do you think the goblins would be able to help us with the charges. After all he not only stole from me but he violated the goblins trust?" inquired Harry.
"Actually that is a very good question. The goblins have the right to prosecute him first. We know that he will find a way to the Wizgamont not to send him to Azkaban," commented Lucius.
"Harry, why don't we get in touch with Griphook, he might be able to help us," said Neville.
Harry did not want to send an owl, so he sent Magnus off with a message to have the goblin contact him as soon as possible. They tabled the Dumbledore talk for a bit, there was not much they could do until they spoke to Griphook. They spoke of Voldemort and finding and destroying his missing souls.
"If we they knew exactly where the Horcruxes were it would help us. We know he would hide them where no one would think to look. If he trusted Lucius with the diary, do you think he will trust anyone one else? And we know Harry was one the other four have to be close by," said Remus.
"What in the bloody fuck are you talking about? Harry was one of what? I feel like I am missing a very big piece of the puzzle," Draco yelled looking right at his mate.
"Draco, language!" admonished his mother
Shit, he knew there was something he forgot to tell Draco. "How do I put this?"
"Just spill it out Harry and hold nothing back." Harry did not take his eyes away from Draco.
It was evident that most of the people in the room knew exactly what a Horcrux was. "I had part of Voldemort's soul inside of me when he tried to kill me as a baby, I honestly don't think he meant for it to happen. We do know that including me he created seven altogether. I got rid one when I destroyed the diary. According to Lady Hogwarts, when I came into my inheritance the piece that was inside of me was destroyed. So that leaves four more. The Slytherin locket, Ravenclaw diadem, the Hufflepuff cup, the Gaunt ring and Nagini."
"Wait you said seven that was only six what was the other one," said Draco
That question seemed to stump everyone then it hit Harry. "Quirrell!" Everyone looked at him as if he lost his mind.
"What does our first year defense teacher have to do with this?" asked Blaise
"Don't you see he was one of the Horcruxes? During first year Voldemort lived on the back of his head before he killed him by snapping his neck."
"How barbaric!" exclaimed Narcissa.
"Harry." He turned around and saw Salazar standing looking at them. "The others and I have been listening, if the locket I am thinking of looks like this," he said digging inside his robes and pulling out a silver chain pendant with an emerald crusted "S" in the middle of it.
Harry jumped from his seat to get a better look, where have I seen that same chain before. Think Harry think. Then it hit him. "Kreacher!" the instant he called the elf name he popped into the room.
"What can Kreacher be doing for Master Slytherin?"
Harry moved closer to the elf "Kreacher do you remember when we were cleaning out Grimmauld Place. There was a necklace you refuse to let us throw out, where is it?"
Kreacher wrung his wrinkled hands nervously "I hid it so that no one would find it. I did not want anyone to throw away Master Regalus wanted Kreacher to get rid of it but Kreacher could not do it." The poor elf was getting upset Harry had to find a way to get the elf to calm down.
"Kreacher I want you to listen to me" the elf bobbed his head. "I want you to go and get the necklace for me as the head of the house of Black, everything within Grimmauld Place belongs to me and so does that necklace. Go and get it." In an instant the elf popped out and popped right back in. He handed the necklace to Harry who took it from him. He thanked Kreacher and told him to start cleaning Grimmauld Place. He also instructed him to not say a word about whom or what he saw. The elf nodded then popped out. Holding the chain out for everyone to see they could feel the power coming from it. Walking over to where he was sitting, he laid it on the table conjuring a metal box he set the necklace in it – looking up at the others in the room, "One down, three to go."
For the rest of the day they plotted and planned how to search for the other Horcruxes. Sometime during dinner a regal looking owl arrive with a letter from Gringotts with a response from Griphook informing Harry that they have been waiting to prosecute Dumbledore for his crimes. The message also let Harry know that he had the backing of the Goblin Nation.
After that the talk of Dumbledore and Voldemort was put to the side. The talk of bonding ceremonies filled the air. Harry, Draco, Neville and Blaise all sat shocked looking at the elders argue over what robe and colors they should wear. Harry had never known the potion master could get so passionate about anything but potions.
After everyone left Harry and Draco were cuddling in bed, Draco was on his back with Harry sprawled over him, who was lacing his fingers through Harry's long silky raven hair. Harry was so comfortable he was purring, literally. "Baby…"
"Mmm…."
"I was thinking, how about tomorrow we spend the day together? No talk of Dumblefuck or Moldyshorts. Just you and me, we could go flying or something."
Harry opened his eyes, moving so that he was fully positioned on top of Draco. In this position he was able to see into his mate's beautiful eyes that he loved so much. He leaned down, kissing his mate soundly. Pulling his lips just a little bit away but still touching, "I think that is a splendid idea." He went back to kissing his mate forgetting about everything and everyone else.

"Crucio! How dare you come to me telling me you cannot find Potter? I give you one job and that is to keep tabs on his every move and now you tell me you have not seen him all day." Dumbledore sent another curcio at Hermione as she withers in pain. Ron who stood in the background could do nothing to help his girlfriend. Where the hell did Harry go? He could not have left the castle. They looked everywhere; he had been missing since yesterday.
Dumbledore finally lift the curcio, he ran over to her trying to soothe her. "I do not care what you do. I better see Potter sitting at the Gryffindor table having breakfast by Monday morning, if not there will be hell to pay. Now get out of my bloody office and don't let me see you again until Potter is found. Is that clear?"
"Yes Master," they both said as Ron tried to help Hermione off the floor and out of there before Dumbledore tried to curse them again.
"Where do you think he is, Hermione?"
"I don't know Ron but when we find him I am going to AK him for general purpose," she said trying to keep her shaking under control.

Voldemort sat in his throne room in Riddle Manor, something was not right. Lucius failed to show up today when he was called. He has always been the perfect little follower. What could have happened to stop him from coming to me when I called?
"Bella my pet, I need to you to do something for me."
"Yes, my lord, anything. I am here to serve you and you alone," she said with a bow.
"I want you to pay a visit to your sister, her husband did not come when I called. Find out why." He told her rubbing the top of Nagini head.
Without another word Bellatrix left to do her master's bidding.
