(I’m thinking)
“I’m speaking”
Last Time:
Cache leaned over and whispered “be honest, do I look that bad?” he said quietly as the entire hall erupted with whispers and chatter … Severus snorted in amusement, but didn’t respond …
XXXXXXXXXX
As she stood with the new first years, who were momentarily forgotten in favor of the gossip, Ginny pouted at the sad announcement. She had hoped to meet her brothers’ friend. Though Ron claimed to be Harry’s best friend he seemed to know very little as far as actual facts about the ‘Boy Who Lived’ as a person. Fred and George had much more to say and only ever said nice things about Harry, but this sickness sounded really serious.
(maybe I can help somehow) she thought, but then frowned as she looked at her brother, Ron, who looked both confused and angry as he tried to talk to an equally confused Hermione (why do they seem so surprised? Weren’t they keeping in touch with Harry?) the youngest Weasley wondered and something else was off. When she spotted her older twin brothers she noticed that they were both casting suspicious looks at Ron and Hermione. Did they suspect something? If so what? Ron may not be a well informed friend or one with good intentions, but why hurt Harry? Her thoughts were interrupted as the headmaster raised his hands for silence …
“now everyone calm down” Dumbledore said and everyone quieted down “we will all wish Harry well and a speedy recovery, but lets get back to the other announcements. I’m sure you all noticed the two new face at the staff table. The young man next to Professor Snape is Cache and he will be assisting in the potions class as well as in the infirmary. He will also be visiting the DADA, Herbology, Charms and flying classes in case immediate medical attention is needed”
Cache subtly twitched in irritation and gave the growling kneazles curled up at his feet where they where out of view of the students a few calming pets (well that’s definitely a form of payback if I ever saw one) he thought dryly. Originally Cache was only supposed to help in the potion classes where Severus needed a second pair of eyes and help Poppy, but to visit other classes on top of it … well he had his work cut out for him that’s for sure and Severus and Poppy couldn’t say otherwise because they had to pretend to be loyal to Dumbledore. It was still clear they were not happy. However Cache wasn’t too annoyed by this move. How could he be when the old fool basically just gave him permission to wander the school unsupervised?
Dumbledore had the nerve to send Cache a kind grandfatherly smile before turning back to the students “and I’m sure many of you don’t need me to tell you who this man is, but I shall none the less. Taking the spot for this years DADA instructor in none other than Gilderoy Lockhart!” Dumbledore announced and cheering erupted from the students. The fraud stood up eagerly lapping up all the attention.
Cache scoffed “what a ham …” he paused as he looked at Severus or more specifically the potion master’s neck where he noticed a bruise peeking out from under the collar “would you like me to heal your neck before people start questioning the belief that you don’t have a sex life?”
A faint pink tinted Severus’s cheeks as he mentally cursed the vampire landlord for dragging him into a farewell make out session before he flooed to Hogwarts “very well” he said trying to not sound embarrassed, but it came a bit harsh and that gave him away. Cache chuckled as he pretended to lean over and whisper something in Severus’s ear. As he did so he carefully used a healing spell with his wand to make the bruise fade away. Once it was gone Cache sat down and pursed his lips to keep from teasing Severus, but he could tell the potion master knew about his amusement. Severus was glaring at his apprentice after all …
The conversation went unheard for the loud cheering continued and it went on until finally Dumbledore called for silence “with that out of the way lets move onto the sorting!”
A sense of déjà vu hit Cache, but while it made him happy at first it left him feeling a bit bitter about it as well. If he could change things he would’ve liked to have been himself. A regular wizard and going into Slytherin. Granted he liked the way things played out in the end, but he should never have been manipulated or abused to reach an even slightly happy place in his life. There was no point in dwelling though so he quickly shook his thoughts away and focused back on the sorting. To say he was shocked about the final sorting was a massive understatement …
Ginny was the last student to be sorted and she excitedly at down. Once the sorting hat perched on her head the first Weasley in history was named … “Slytherin!”
It was no surprise that Fred and George stood up first clapping wildly “Finally! It’s about time someone broke the Weasley mold! No worries baby sis, we won’t prank your house!” they yelled in perfect sync.
The youngest Weasley blushed at her brother’s embarrassing antics as she walked over to the Slytherin table who were the only other people clapping. She sat down between an older boy named Blaise and a boy named Theo who both moved aside to make room for her. For a second she thought she saw the blonde next to Blaise shoot her a nasty look, but it was gone before she could decide if it was real. Her main focus was to look at her brothers. The twins were clearly happy for her and even Percy seemed accepting of the change, but Ron looked pissed. The feast of food appeared distracting her brother, but she knew he had glared at her. Why would he be mad? …
What Ginny didn’t know is that Cache was also watching the other Weasleys reactions “I will need to watch Ron” he muttered though he didn’t like the flash of displeasure in Dumbledore’s eyes either. He filled his own plate before moving out of his seat and setting food and water bowls on the floor in front of the staff table. Several gasps of awestruck students were heard as the large beautiful kneazles walked out of their hiding place and to the bowls. As dinner started winding down many kids came up to pet Lyra and Libra who were happy to receive the attention even though Hermione clearly wasn’t …
“what are you all fawning over? Those things aren’t real kneazles not like my Crookshanks” Hermione snapped as she pointed over to her cat who was on top of the Gryffindor table licking itself and successfully disturbing those who were still eating. It seems she wanted to snow him off and brought him to the Great Hall.
Hagrid took the last bite of his dessert and chuckled “there’s a quick spell for that” he boomed.
Minerva nodded and since Hagrid wasn’t allowed to do magic because of his expulsion years ago, which shocked Cache who did see the giant use magic before, she cast a quick spell on the three felines. A piece of paper appeared and she read the results aloud “Cache’s familiars are full blooded Persian kneazles, which are very rare” she said curious as to how a young man managed to find two let alone one.
Cache smiled and crouched to scratch them behind their fluffy ears “I always thought they were special” he said and noticed that Lockhart looked very put out at being upstaged by kneazles.
“what about mine?” Hermione snapped rudely.
“and Ms. Granger, you have a regular cat” Minerva answered bluntly. She didn’t want to embarrass the girl, but she was asking for it. As Hermione turned an ugly shade of red in her shame during the students snickering at her Minerva glanced at Dumbledore hoping he’d control the situation, but the wizard looked like he was frustrated by something. With no help coming from the headmaster she raised her hands for silence “that’s enough! Dinner is over so all first years follow the prefects for your house. They will take you to your dorm where you will be staying for the rest of your time here. Should you need anything please speak to your professor. We are here for you”
False blue eyes rolled subtly at that last comment. Professor McGonagall was never there for him, but he had to remember that, like Severus and Poppy, it may not be her fault. He decided to help make sure all the first years knew where they were going. That’s when he noticed Ginny was no where to be seen. After noticing he couldn’t see Ron he started to worry. The kneazles seemed to notice his concern because they immediately became serious.
“I’m going to go find Ginny” Cache whispered to Severus before following his kneazles who were already locked onto the girl’s scent after smelling where she sat at the table.
Fred and George also didn’t like they didn’t see Ginny follow the other first year Slytherins. The fact that Ron wasn’t seen after the meal made them nervous. They searched their robes and pulled out a parchment “I solemnly swear I’m up to no good” they both whispered …
XXXXXXXXXX
Ginny winced as Ron roughly dragged her through the empty halls “Ron stop! You’re hurting me!” she whimpered. Finally he tossed her wrist aside and stood there with his back to her as she rubbed her hurt wrist.
“you need to be resorted” Ron growled as he whirled around to meet her eyes.
“what? … why? I like where I’m at” she said defiantly.
“but you won’t be in the same house as Harry. Don’t you want that? Who knows maybe you to will get married one day, but there’s no chance if you’re a snake” he argued desperately.
“Harry’s sick. We shouldn’t be thinking about that crap. Besides even he was here we’re both too young to think about marriage especially when I never even met him yet! I won’t be resorted”
“you prefer being with those snakes over your own brothers!” Ron roared turned an ugly red color as his anger hit its boiling point.
The young witch took a step back “we’re still in the same school. We can see each other every day. I’m sorry, but I won’t ask to be resorted-”
In an instant everything spun out of control. Ron slammed Ginny into the floor and held her down by her neck. Blood flowed into her mouth after he punched her in the face. She tried to scream, but he just applied pressure to her throat to shut her up. Thankfully he didn’t have a chance to punch again for a large kneazle slammed into him successfully shoving him off her.
“it’s alright Ms. Weasley. He’s pinned down. Can I see your injuries?“ Ginny sniffled and moved her arms that covered her face protectively. There she saw the new staff member called Cache and that Ron was pinned down by one kneazles with large dots as the striped one stood over to the side guarding them “I have a pain reliever with me, but we should go to the infirmary to fix your lip” he said as he pulled out a bottomless green bag and produced a vial of the pain relieving potion from its depths for her.
Ginny nodded as tears poured out of her eyes “ok” she said heartbrokenly still unable to believe that that just happened before drinking the potion.
“GINNY!” Fred, George and surprisingly Percy all yelled as they ran over to her. The second they saw the blood running down their baby sister’s split lip. All eyes turned to stare at Ron who was frozen in fear as the kneazle stretched her claws warning him not to move
“Ms. Weasley here is a tough cookie. She’ll be fine. I’m going to take her to the infirmary” Cache said as he used a spell to stop the bleeding and helped her up “I will need someone to confine Ron Weasley to his dorm”
Percy stepped up “I’m head boy so I have separate living quarters. I will take him there and confine him to that room. Since Ginny is in Slytherin I’ll get Professor Snape as well as Professor McGonagall”
“that’d be appreciated” Cache said as he let Ginny lean on the twins for support.
Libra moved off the red head and padded over to Cache as Percy all but dragged his youngest brother away. The two kneazles trying to cheer up Ginny and the kindness from the new healer made the twins take an instant liking to Cache. Even more so than their brother who was in deep trouble. In fact, as Cache tended to Ginny’s lip in the infirmary, Fred and George took out the parchment again, which turned out to be an enchanted map. At first they were going to look for Ron’s name, but their eyes widened as they saw the names floating around the infirmary. Instead of Cache standing next to Ginny it was Harry Potter!
The twins had to say something, but what? If Harry was hiding as Cache for a reason then they could accidently put him in danger and they didn’t want that. They could see Snape, McGonagall and Percy’s names on the map heading for the infirmary. In a snap decision they just shoved the map in Cache’s face.
Unfortunately Ginny also saw the map. She cutely looked around the room to see if Harry was there, but quickly came to the same conclusion as her brothers. Cache was Harry Potter! However Cache did not respond. After all there was no time to explain. Instead he smirked at the three red heads and held a finger to his lips implying silence …
“how are you Ms. Weasley?” asked Severus as he, Percy and Minerva entered the infirmary. Fred quickly hid the map in his robes before anyone noticed.
“much better professor” Ginny said with a smile showing that her lip was indeed healed.
“she’ll be alright to go to her dorm if she wants. Would I be correct in saying that these cases should be reported to the parents of the child injured?” Cache asked.
“yes it is” said Poppy out of no where as she came into the infirmary levitating a first year Hufflepuff behind her “I apologize for not being here. This young man had a little stumble on the stairs” she explained as she went all the way to the back of the infirmary to treat the boy.
Minerva nodded “it seems Cache here handled everything quite well. Now Ms. Weasley would you please explain what happened”
Ginny took a deep breath to calm herself “Ron wanted me be resorted. I thought he just wanted me with him and my other brothers, but I told him no. He … he got so mad and said I was choosing snakes over my family. That’s when he tackled me to the ground and punched me” she said sadly. Cache got out of the way so her brothers could sit with her.
Severus frowned at Minerva “the headmaster seems preoccupied so we better not bother him” he whispered into her ear. He saw a flicker of dull light in her eyes and suspected a potion was influencing her as well meaning she’ll probably end up reporting this anyway.
“yes … Ronald will receive a month of detention. Do tell me if he causes anymore trouble. Where is he anyway?“ Minerva asked.
“I confined him to my quarters until he calms down” Percy said and after hugging his sister he lead the transfiguration professor to Ron leaving Ginny, the twins, Cache and Severus mostly alone. Poppy and, more importantly, the boy were too far away to hear anyway so it was as close to being alone as they could get.
“they know Severus” Cache said quietly.
Severus’s eyes narrowed at the three red heads in a silent warning to not say a word to anyone. When they nodded in agreement the potion master sighed “come Ms. Weasley, I’ll escort you to your dorm. Fred, George you both should go back to your dorms before curfew”
Ginny frowned “professor, Cache … there’s one other thing you need to know. Ron mentioned something about me marrying Harry” she said making sure to stick to those names as if Cache and Harry were two different people.
“I’ll look into it, don’t worry” Cache smiled as they all left “if you don’t need anything Poppy I’m going to head home”
“no, have a good night. Oh, would you send the letter to the Weasley parents? I don’t want to risk forgetting should something come up” Poppy said clearly not wanting to take the chance of Dumbledore telling her to forget about the policy like he always did when she was under his control.
“of course, goodnight” Cache said and his kneazles followed him down the halls. A brief glimpse of the ghost of a young man he never saw before. It must’ve been the ghost hired by Gringotts to search for the horcruxes. Good, the sooner it’s found the better. Cache and his kneazles flooed from Severus’s living quarters to his apartment where he found Trocar reading a letter.
“the Malfoys sent me a letter. They’re hiring me to fix the wards around their mansion” the vampire exclaimed excitedly “so how was your day?” he asked.
“it wasn’t as exciting as yours … well actually it was just not in a good way. Ron beat up his younger sister for being sorted into Slytherin. I had to heal her lip and now I need to write a quick letter to Mr. Weasley. Also now Fred, George and Ginny know who I am because of an enchanted map that shows everyone in the castle. There’s something I need to do at Gringotts too. Apparently as Ron was hurting his sister, Ginny, he mentioned her marrying me so maybe there was a transaction for that” Harry said as he grabbed some parchment to quickly write down a detailed letter. Ami, formally known as Hedwig, took the letter and fluttered away with only Mr. Weasley as the target. Harry didn’t want to send it to Mrs. Weasley given her connection to Dumbledore.
Trocar shook his head in shock “you never have it simple, do you? Ok, what can I do to help?” he asked determined to help Harry in some way. The kneazles rolled their eyes and curled up on the bed.
Harry chuckled knowing he can’t just tell the motherly vampire to not help cause it wouldn’t stop him “I don’t know. I’ll have a better idea about what to do after classes tomorrow … though Dumbledore did claim I was sick to explain why I wasn’t there so could you slip that to Lucius? He might know what to do with that information- hey you two have your own beds!” Trocar looked where Harry was looking and laughed at the two kneazles lounging on the bed “so where do I sleep?” Harry asked very amused by the cheeky felines’ actions. Both kneazles looked at the couch where Trocar was seated “the couch huh … very funny, scoot your butts over”
“goodnight Harry!” Trocar exclaimed between laughs as the wizard started a stare down with his kneazles. He didn’t stay to see who won that battle, but when he left his amusement died upon spotting Armel in the hall “you should tell him”
Armel sighed “people with vampire relatives can’t work at St. Mungos. I won’t be the one who limits his future”
“a boy like that has no limits. Tell him and let him decide what to do from there. Keep in mind Harry does not like St. Mungo’s dislike of creatures so I don’t think he will look for an official job there once his apprenticeship is done. He deserves to know” Trocar said and went to his own Frank’s room to ask him to join him at the Malfoys tomorrow. Armel was left alone to contemplate what he was told …

Dumbledore paced his office both seriously pissed and in a panic. He was pissed because he paid Molly good money to have Ginny seduce Potter, but the little wench ended up in the wrong house! The panic was because he realized he screwed up big time by telling everyone that Potter was sick! Anything else would’ve been better, right?
He could’ve claimed Harry was being homeschooled or that he was taken into hiding after a surge of Death Eaters appeared. Anything else! If this gets out people all over magical will be wondering where Harry is and scrambling for answers. They will want to know if he’s getting proper treatment, what he has, how they can help and if he didn’t give them answers he may have a mob looking for a sick boy!
After finally calming down he remembered a few things. One, the mail was regulated so none of the students can tell their parents. Two, Potter wasn’t here so he didn’t have to pay the Weasleys to be friendly, which means he didn’t have to explain that he was kicked out of the Potter vaults either! Of course Molly, Hermione and Ron will have no choice, but to keep their mouths shut since if they try to spill the beans they will be charged too and they will suffer. The headmaster had ‘connections’ in the right place and would get away from the scandal looking like a victim while they will get the full brunt of the crimes he organized. It was perfect! He just had to keep that brat, Cache, from saying anything.
Moments later Minerva McGonagall stepped into his office and mentioned what happened earlier with Ron and that Cache was aware of the school policy. Dumbledore ran to the infirmary where Poppy was tending to the Hufflepuff. He played the concerned grandfather figure until the boy drank a dreamless sleep potion and fell asleep. Hen he had privacy he asked Poppy if Cache sent out any letters.
“I am in charge here Albus. He didn’t ask me or even start writing a letter while I was here” the healer said carefully avoiding the subject.
“good, don’t send anything out like usual” Dumbledore said as relief flooded his body “goodnight Poppy-oh and that’s a lovely necklace. Is it new?”
Poppy smiled and touched the necklace that secretly protected her “yes, it was a gift. Goodnight Albus” she smirked the second the headmaster was gone. Bit by bit things were falling apart and he had no clue …

Remus and Moody have been investigating every lead they could find, but there was no luck. Now they were back at the beginning to see if they missed anything. The werewolf just stood there near Moody and stared at the fox statue that felt strangely magical.
“Moody … maybe we should start farther back … lets return to the UK, but lets not tell Albus. School just started so he’d be too busy” Remus said strangely compelled to return and start searching there without telling Dumbledore. Moody believed that it was a wise idea and agreed …
