Chapter 1: The mask behind you
Harry walked out of his bathroom, his towel slung around his waist and another in his hands as he rubbed his hair dry, his clothing were being laid out by one of his house elves and another was delicately going over his mask for the ball making sure it was ready for tonight. Both of the elves smiled as he came in.
“Master Harry Potter’s clothes are ready for tonight; Dotty has made sure of that yes sir.” The first elf smiled smoothing her hands over the lapels of his robes.
“And Master Harry Potter’s mask is ready to be put on.”
Harry nodded to them, after the war he had been given all the pure blood rights the Wizarding world offered, no one considered him a half blood, even with his mother being Muggleborn he was given the seats of the house of Black and house of Potter in the Wizengamot system and was considered one of the most trusted Aurors along with his partner and lifelong friend Ron Weasley. He was considered a pure blood wizard and as such he found himself enjoying the lap of luxury, the house he got from Sirius was cleaned up and a place that often held his office parties as well as some not so official parties, all traces of Dark magic were removed from the house and the screaming portrait of Sirius’s dear old mum finally removed, and it was finally a home, warm and inviting and filled with memories. He realized some memories were bitter, the ones dealing from the time during the war and from the recent fight with Jason, leaving him single and bitter. Harry sighed as he dismissed the elves and began to get ready, his mind still drifting back to the fight.
Harry growled as he stepped through the Floo into the drawing room, his arm stinging and his chest burning from another curse that had been flung at him, but he and Ron had caught the bastard. Harry grinned to himself, it always felt good to take down a Dark Wizard, this one was particularly nasty, and dipping into forbidden necromancy to try to bring back Voldemort and even worse bring back Bellatrix. Harry shuddered at the thought grateful that he had rushed back from his vacation to help Ron out when the Patronus message came barking through the bedroom he was sharing with Jason. Jason was furious when Harry began to put on his robes and sent a message back and hurried them back to England where he dropped Jason off with a quick kiss on the forehead and ran off through the door Apparating to where Ron was. It had been quick clean and simple, catching the bastard in the act and he was escorted off in under two hours. Ron told Harry to go back to Jason and enjoy their night.
“Jason? I’m home!” He called, rubbing at his chest as he stepped out of the room in time to see Jason moving down the hallway and putting suitcase on top of his trunk. Harry leaned against the door frame and arched an eyebrow, “going on a trip? We just got back.”
Jason turned around and glared at him, “I am leaving. I’m surprised you even noticed, so dedicated to your job you can’t just say no when they call you from a vacation you had planned for months! Do you even realize how important this getaway was to us? It was our three year anniversary Harry!”
Harry blinked, “Jay, you’re being unreasonable. I’m an Auror, I’ve been working on this case for over a year now. You knew that even if I took the vacation time that I would get called in if we had a break in the case. Ron and I are partners, we don’t do anything without each other.”
“And what about me Harry? What am I to you?”
“What kind of stupid question is that? You are my lover and my boyfriend. I fail to see what the problem is, I am a dedicated Auror who just sealed one of the biggest cases of my career.”
Jason sneered at him, “I guess I have my answer. I need someone who isn’t married to his job. If you already had a first love then why even bother with me? Good bye Harry, oh and go fuck yourself.” The other man shrunk all of his things before stowing them away and storming out of the house the door slamming shut instantly making Harry glad that they had gotten the picture of Old Lady Black off the wall.
Harry shook his head at the memory and tossed his towels into the hamper and set about getting ready. He slid into the pressed tailored trousers, forgoing underwear because anything he had would cause lines in the trousers and end up bunched up by the end of the night. He slid on the green silk shirt and buttoned it up before standing in front of his mirror and brushing his hair back, tying it at the nape of his neck with a black ribbon since it now fell to his shoulders and was just long enough to be tamed. A small pop sounded and he turned to see Dotty standing in the room.
“Mister Ron and Misses Hermione are here in the drawing room sir! They said they want to go to the Ministry together!” The elf cried happily.
Harry smiled as he grabbed his outer robes and his mask and slid into his shoes as he walked down the stairs into his drawing room where Ron and Hermione were waiting. He grinned at his two friends, “wow guys you look great.” He smiled as he looked at them. Ron was in elegant looking dark blue dress robes, his mask was a deep matching blue dragon face. Hermione was dressed in a beautiful black and blue gown with a black velvet cloak to match her husband, her mask was an elegant cat mask and her hair was free and wild around her.
“C’mon Harry put on your mask, we’re twenty minutes late!”
Harry laughed as he pulled his outer robes on and tied his mask in place, compared to his friends mask his mask was fairly simple black that covered three quarters of his face, leaving only his mouth free and a deep black with deep green lining the mask. “Who else in the family is going?” He asked as they walked out the door, opting to Apparate instead of Floo so that they didn’t lose their masks or ruin their robes.
“Mum, dad, Ginny, George, Bill, Charlie, and Fleur. The kids are being watched by Fleur’s family, Kingsley said it was a special Ball and that there were going to be a few announcements.”
Harry nodded as they left the surrounding area with a pop and appeared in front of the doors leading to the grand Ministry Ballroom. Two men bowed deeply and opened the doors and they were surrounded by laughter and music as people mingled and laughed. Performers hung from the ceiling and walked around interacting with the many witches and wizards, all dressed as if they were marionettes in bright colors, harlequins entertained with juggling and servers handed out flutes of elven champagne. Harry took a glass when it was offered to him and smiled as he walked around with his friends.
“Hey Ron, I think I found your mum.” Harry said pointing to a plump redhead in a beautiful dark purple ball gown holding a mask up to her eyes.
Ron nodded as they walked over and he tapped his mother on the shoulder. “Hey mum!”
Molly Weasley lowered her mask and beamed at them. “You are late Ronald.”
Ron groaned, “don’t blame me mum, Harry took forever to get ready.”
Harry glared at his friend, “thanks mate, true friend right there.” He smiled as he stepped up and hugged Molly, “hello Molly, you look beautiful tonight.” He kissed her cheek lovingly.
Molly hugged him tightly, “I’m glad to see you out and about, when Ron told me what happened….OH! I wanted to strangle that good for nothing Jason myself. Congratulations on closing that case Harry, you and Ron make me so proud.” She smiled at both of them. “Oh listen to me prattle on, go on go mingle and have fun, Kingsley said he would be making his big speech before dinner so you have plenty of time to enjoy yourselves.”
The trio moved about the Ball, mingling and dancing and Harry found himself sitting at one of the many tables surrounding the dance floor, he had been abandoned by Ron and Hermione to do their marital dances and Harry relaxed with his drink. Movement caught his eye and he turned to see someone watching him from a little ways away, leaning against a pillar. Harry felt his mouth go dry, the being against the pillar was beautiful. He was dressed in white dress robes that were lined with silver and light blue giving him an almost angelic, the mask in place covered the whole top half of his face and Harry’s eyes were drawn down to full kissable lips. Harry got up and walked over, grabbing two more full flutes of champagne, he offered a smile and a drink.
“You look like you could use a drink.”
The man smiled as he took the drink, his delicate fingers lingering on Harry’s as he took it. “Thank you, I was wondering when I would catch someone’s eye. These balls can get dreadfully boring and I already bore of my current company.” The silky voice fell from those lips made Harry shudder as he fallowed the man’s gesture to see a small group of people laughing in a small group. “Though it did take you a while to notice, I was beginning to give up hope on you and move on to another target.”
Harry arched an eyebrow behind his mask, “looking for something specific?”
The man stepped closer and placed a hand on his chest leaning up to whisper in his ear, “I’m looking for some fun before the long drawn out speech from Minister Shacklebot. As I said these balls are dreadfully boring.” The man purred and pulled back, his eyes glittering blue from behind his mask. His hand moved lower down to stroke lightly along Harry’s pant line. “what do you say? Care to have a little fun?”
