A/N: Yes this is a bit different from my usual story…it just came to me as I was about to doze off ages ago.
Chapter 17
Narcissa made the arrangements for the interview on a Saturday, the second Saturday of September.
The location was a private room in the fanciest restaurant in Hogsmeade, The Orchid.
Narcissa had procured a portkey to take them straight to the room to avoid a scene.
She was dressed in semi-formal dinner wear complete with a light shawl and dancing slippers.
The four wizards were slightly disconcerted by her calm, cool manner but were wise enough to follow her lead.
It didn’t take Skeeter long to arrive, in her overdone feminine attire and familiar simpering ways.
Severus wished he could but her personality made it hard to respect Skeeter.
It was hard to believe that this was, or had been Newt Scamander’s child. It was awkward enough that Dumbledore had forced Skeeter to attend in their birth gender, which had made ‘Skeeter’ a target for Sirius and Bella for being different.
“Severus?” Skeeter purred.
“Now Rita, that’s enough. We called you here for a great scoop, one even Dumbledore doesn’t know.”
Now Skeeter’s attention had been caught, “One that old fool doesn’t know?”
Narcissa nodded, “Of course, who else would we call?”
Skeeter reached for her quick quotes quill and Narcissa frowned.
“Rita…we agreed.”
Rita flinched, “Oh yes.” She pulled out a crumpled peacock quill instead, green ink and parchment, “All set.”
“It’s an open secret that my family, the Malfoy family has Veela ancestry. It was quite a surprise that after generations, that our only son was a Veela and imprinted on my good friend Severus as his mate.”
“Is this an acceptable bonding to Lord Malfoy?”
Narcissa gasped, “Rita! Are you implying that my Lucius would ever interfere in a Veela mate bond? Of course not! We have known Severus for many years, and if there was anyone who would cherish our son it is Severus. They have a mutual love for potions that Draco will be pursuing in the future. Their bonding is already blessed.”
Rita looked up with wide eyes, “The House of Malfoy is continuing?”
“And the House of Prince.” Severus said stiffly.
Draco beamed up at his stoic mate, he knew there was more to his Severus beneath that mask.
Rita continued scribbling on her parchment.
“If you agree to keep your word to allow myself to preview the article and publish with any edits I request you know you’ll be the first to take pictures of my grandchildren.” Narcissa said brightly with a hint of icy warning.
Rita nodded, “Yes of course.”
“Imagine my surprise at being summoned to Gringotts, by the goblin executor of the Potter Estate. You see apparently, someone was attempting to thwart Lady Lily Potter’s wishes.”
Rita blinked, “Thwart Lily Potter?”
“Someone, the goblins are still investigating, is trying to bond young Harry. It seems he was already bound from the cradle.”
Rita yelped in surprise, “He’s what?”
“I was the final witness to Harry Potter’s bonding contract. Neither party was aware that this contract existed, I have no idea how Lily discerned it. She wasn’t the smartest witch of our year for no reason, she reunited the Lupin and Potter lines. Apparently, those two are soulmates.” Narcissa beamed. “I’ve always noticed something special between them, Harry never treated him like a father figure despite Remus raising him.”
Severus tried to keep his disdain for the match to himself; Remus was too self-deprecating and Potter too pushy.
“I thought that Potter was courting you young Master Malfoy.” Rita twittered.
Draco swallowed, “I was afraid that my parents would think Severus was too old for me, I hadn’t come into my inheritance yet despite imprinting on him as my mate. It was foolish of me, I should have gone to mother. She was the first to congratulate me…”
After a lecture, of course but he was content now…
What else could he be when he was Severus’ consort?
“So, Harry Potter, you’re soulmates with Remus Lupin?” Rita said turning to the other couple at the table.
Harry smirked, dragging Remus into a searing snog, “Of course.” He admitted after breaking the kiss.
It was no business of this woman that he was Moony’s mate.
“Aren’t you a little disconcerted that he might…injure you?”
Harry snorted, “No, he never has. Besides, I have on good authority that he can’t and won’t.”
“Whose?” Rita frowned.
“Merlin’s of course. The Werewolf curse emerged during his time, he investigated it and attempted to temper it. He couldn’t remove it of course. A soulmate can calm them. I have a rune that protects me due to our bond. Also I’m already an animagus, I’m just waiting until I’m eighteen to register of course.”
“Are there going to be any bonding ceremonies?”
Harry shrugged, “I’m going to focus on finishing school first. We’re already legally and magically bonded, any ceremony at this point would be mere redundant. IF we change our minds, you’ll be among the first to know.”
“Are you alright with not having any ceremony?” Rita asked the other three pointedly.
Severus snorted, “I have little patience with pureblood social functions,” then he softening slightly, “but if Draco decided after Hogwarts he wished for a ceremony, I suppose I would agree. If it weren’t too ostentatious. We don’t need to invite then entirety of pureblood society.”
Draco smiled shyly and leaned closer.
Remus shrugged, “Legally, I am only a consort. If Harry decided he wanted one, I suppose I’d go along with it. I don’t know how Lily recognised Harry was my soulmate, I didn’t. she was brilliant so I’m not surprised she knew more than she revealed at the time.”
Since this was to be included in the morning’s edition of the Daily Prophet, Narcissa and Rita worked on the story together.
Remus and Severus may not have trusted Rita because she liked to sensationalize, they did trust Narcissa.
The two couples warily ate their supper before returning to Hogwarts.
Eventually, Dumbledore would figure it out if he didn’t learn it from tomorrow’s paper.
XooooooX
Harry and Draco reluctantly ate in the great hall the next morning.
Narcissa had rings prepared for them previously and today was first time they wore them openly.
“WHAT? Draco and Potter jilted each other?” Pansy yelped in surprise, forgetting her manners.
“Really Pansy, you actually believed they were courting? I knew they weren’t.” Blaise said boredly.
“Draco’s been in love with one person in his life. Even I knew that.” Theo grumbled.
“I just…” Pansy sputtered.
“I can’t believe you didn’t guess he really was bent. You’re so oblivious.” Millie snorted.
Pansy returned to her sulking.
Draco was somewhat happy that his childhood acquaintances seemed to be accepting. With the exception of Pansy, but it was her father’s fault. Lord Parkinson had being trying to have them betrothed for years… he had not taken the new of his sire’s temporary acceptance of his and Harry’s courtship well.
XooooooX
Harry sat with Dean, Seamus and Neville; the later of whom whooped, after reading the paper.
“I knew it! You dog you!” Neville teased.
Harry frowned, “What?”
“You had some of us fooled, for a little bit anyway. But you and Draco was a bit far fetched. I like Draco, as a friend but he wasn’t for you. He’s been in love with our Potions Master about as long as you’ve been in love with Remus.”
Neville had been a childhood playmate like Draco because his parents had been Order Members as well.
Harry blushed, “Was it so obvious?”
“You were too good at silencing charms and once we were teenagers, it was obvious that your looks were rather heated. They were never directed at Draco…” Seamus smirked. “It was a shock at first when you announced you were courting Draco. We’re not Luna, we didn’t figure it out immediately but we did eventually. We just didn’t say anything, we figured you had a reason.”
“Defence and Potions’ classes are cancelled. Mr. Potter and Mr. Malfoy, I will expect you in my office after breakfast.”
“Albus.” Uncle Sev said dangerously.
“Neither of you are welcome in that meeting.”
Harry scowled, “Fine.” He snapped his fingers, summoning a house elf.
“Master be wanting Eddy?”
“Tell Narcissa and Andromeda to meet us at the Headmaster’s Tower.”
“Yes Master.”
“Harry!”
“Is this meeting wearing your Headmaster’s hat or your Chief Warlock one?” Harry retorted.
“I am concerned about you both. The age difference, they are your professors and you are students.”
“Call in the aurors then. I initiated our relationship, I seduced him. I forced him to see I was his mate. Got a problem with that?” Harry snarled.
“I knew he would be a bad influence.” The headmaster said shaking his head.
“Are you implying that my parents made a mistake in my guardian?” Harry stalked towards the head table.
“Harry…” Remus said quietly.
“Be quiet Remus please. I’m defending our bond.”
Remus’s eyes turned molten gold, “then by all means, continue.”
“Thank you Moony.” Harry winked.
“Is this really the place for this discussion?” Dumbledore frowned.
“You called us out publicly and wished to speak to us alone even though we’re minors. I think you’ve overstepped yourself. Again.”
“Again?”
“You’re the jerk who decorated our sitting room in a manner that would upset Draco, I may not love him but that doesn’t mean I don’t care about him. He’s been a childhood playmate for ages,” Harry grinned wickedly, “now he’s my uncle. Who would have guessed that?”
“No one sane, clearly we misjudged Remus and Severus.” Dumbledore said sadly.
“If you are implying that they are perverts or in any way pressured us into a relationship, I will sue you and I’m sure Lucius will take great pleasure in having you removed from office for slander.” Harry said fiercely.
Remus, or rather Moony was enjoying the display.
Draco had joined Harry, he said with more confidence than he felt, “I’m sure father would enjoy suing you… you’re the pervert. Every bent male blond has felt it…the way you look at us.”
“I am not a pervert.” Dumbledore said sharply.
“Then you make them uncomfortable when you watch them.” An unexpected ally had joined them.
“Oh?” Dumbledore smirked, “What would you know? You’re a Goyle.”
“I’m courting a blond wizard, he has mentioned you make him uncomfortable. He won’t even go to the loo alone, he insists on going with a group.”
“What is he a Hufflepuff?” Dumbledore said disdainfully.
Hufflepuff roared indignantly.
Other blond wizards began adding their voice to the claim that Dumbledore made them uncomfortable.
Harry smirked, “Any Houses willing to claim a vote of no confidence in Dumbledore?”
Gryffindor was indignant that their ‘king’ had been insulted, Slytherin was irate that both Draco and Snape had been as well, Ravenclaw was appalled at Dumbledore’s crudeness and Hufflepuff had been maligned too.
All four Houses demanded a special investigation by the Aurors and the Board of Governors.
Severus stood up, “I am sure that McGonagall, Flitwick and Sprout will take this to them. Classes will be on hold until this situation is dealt with. Dismissed, any wizard who had a complaint regarding professor Dumbledore is welcome to give their name to the senior most prefect in their House. It is to remain anonymous, there will be no repercussions for coming forward. Student safety is our highest priority.”
“Rediculous coming from you.” Dumbledore sneered.
“What is going on here!” a familiar but imperious voice said with similar authority to Severus.
Harry turned to see Draco’s mother and aunt Andromeda present. “Aunt Cissa and Aunt Annie, Dumbledore wanted to see us; Draco and I alone. He implying that he thought that our bondmates were perverts who misused their authority to bring us to their bed. He wanted to speak to us alone despite us being under the authority of our guardians still. I sent for you because legally I am still under Uncle Sev and Remus’ authority.”
“Actually, you aren’t. Upon your bonding, your mother emancipated you. I must have failed to make that clear.” Narcissa said stiffly.
Harry’s eyes narrowed darkly, “You don’t say, then I will definitely be filing a complaint of my own. Oh, Hogwarts just declared a vote of no confidence in Dumbledore. His accusations against Draco and my mates brought out his own; apparently, he’s the pervert.”
Andromeda snorted, “Still undressing blond wizards with your eyes? You used to do it to Lucius, Xenos and Sancus in school.”
“I have done nothing unseemly.” Dumbledore protested.
“We’ll see.” Andromeda sniffed. “You accused others of your own issue. Believe me, the last thing you want to do is insult a Slytherin. Especially those with Black relations, we’ll be investigating you Albus Dumbledore. We’ll find every last skeleton in that closet of yours.”
“I have nothing to hide.”
“So, you say. I wonder how many peeping spells you have in Hogwarts. I know Severus had to remove more than a few…”
“Draco, Harry, come on. We’re going to make a report to Head Auror Scrimgour. He has no love for Albus. He should not have insulted you here.”
Severus and Remus followed them out of the great hall.
Draco began trembling once they were headed to the dungeons.
Harry smirked, Moony would definitely reward him after this…
Albus Dumbledore had gone too far this time…
Harry really hoped that Dumbledore was fired, he just hoped that he hadn’t done more than look.
What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
