Summary: A little AU after the First Task for all his apparent forgiveness of Ron for abandoning him, he's incapable of forgetting. The Triwizard Tournament forced Harry to grow up and changed the way he looked and things as well as what he focused on. Complete AU from the day of the Third Task. Harry doesn't want to participate in the Tournament; he has said he has no wish to win. What happens when he refuses to search for the Triwizard Cup?

A/N: The title is in reference to the song by Katy Perry. If fit the story so well when it came on the radio after I took a dinner break while writing. Prior to that song playing this fic had no name. Its just a random story idea that I couldn't shake but it seems to be shaping into a nice storyline.

Sorry it too so long, it wasn't co-operating but here it is, a bit short but it has some development...

Chapter 20- Discussions of revenge, news and decisions

Once Harry relaxed against them, Draco kissed his hair; using a light sticking charm he left a note for Harry.

He slipped out tiptoeing and softly closing the door behind him.

Draco snapped at his personal elf Dippy for his winter cloak, fur hat, mittens and muffler. He put them on and stalked down one of the narrow circular stairs and out a side door. He took about fifteen steps from the Manor and left out a feral sounding scream of pure rage.

Not at Harry but at everyone who had ever hurt him: Weasel, those nasty Muggles and his mother’s cousin Sirius Black.

Draco was humming with magic, he was only fifteen but he was furious.

He didn’t care if he got in trouble for using magic out of school. He wanted to destroy something, anything.

Stria, his father’s elf appeared beside him, “Master Lucius be waiting for young Master Draco in his study.”

Draco nodded curtly, making his way through the side door, and along a long gallery ignoring the questions from portraits of his ancestors.

He made it to the south wing and then took the main staircase up to the second floor.

Draco opened the door to find his father behind his desk, his usual desk chair had been replaced with a settee and his godfather was leaning his head on his father’s shoulder.

Professor Remus Lupin was sitting in one of the chairs facing his father’s desk.

“You summoned me father?” Draco said politely, though he was still vibrating with anger

“What is wrong Draco?” Severus asked frowning.

Draco growled, “I am trying to decide between legal means and torture…”

Lucius stiffened, “Malfoys do not torture. Legal means is how we go about showing our displeasure.”

Draco snapped, “Fine, as my father and Head of House I shall abide by it but I want them ruined in reputation and wealth.”

“Who?” Remus asked curious.

“Those Fucking Muggle bastards!”

“Language Draco. Malfoys do not have such common word choices.”

Severus sighed, “The Dursleys?”

“If that’s what their name is then yes. Not only was he starved, they beat him and tortured him.” Draco hissed through clenched teeth. “He has burns from cigars on his shoulder, he has scalds from hot liquids- probably tea and he has a scald pattern on his lower body from being forced into boiling hot water. I want their heads!”

The tension in the room was strong enough to actually light something on fire.

“I want the injuries healed but not before they are photographed and documented by a healer or a Muggle doctor. I hate hearing him call himself ugly. He desperately needs regular Mind Healer sessions with Uncle Ted.” Draco said vehemently, “He needs instruction at his level. He is brilliant at Defense and needs more strenuous work. We’ve shared Defense and Potions for over four years. I think if we spent the rest of the year in tutoring we could finish our education at Durmstrang. Personally, the work there is harder and more specialized. I think it would benefit us.”

“We were discussing that…” Lucius said stiffly.

“If Harry will permit her to examine him, I may be able to brew something to help heal him.” Severus said sincerely.

“I want to help. I’m sick of doing Fifth Year brewing when I am at the level of a Seventh Year. I’m ahead in most of my subjects. Harry could catch up to me in Ancient Runes with the proper instruction. I would far rather take the OWL equivalents that Viktor Krum took. They are harder yes but more through in testing your understanding of the material. I think Uncle Sev should consider applying as the Head of Durmstrang. He would benefit from the environment there. We already wasted our time at Hogwarts for our first four years. I’m refusing to attend Hogwarts while that imbecile is Headmaster. I do not have much confidence in Professor McGonagall’s leadership. Over dinner table discussions I was fascinated at the variety of classes offered at Durmstrang. I want to go there father. You should have let me go there in the first place but then I would not have known Harry or realized he was special.” Draco said fiercely.

“Then it is best that I hesitated.” Lucius said gently. “It will take some time for the two of you to catch up academically with your yearmates at Durmstrang.”

Draco nodded sharply, “I have resigned to that. It will take work, hard work and perseverance. I do not see that with dedication and decent tutoring from you three that we can’t accomplish it. Harry will need political and other instruction from you father about how to be a strong politician and learn to be formidable Head of the House of Potter. Whether he retains the future inheriting of the Houses of Prince and Black remains to be seen. However, he will need to learn what his responsibilities as a Lord are, I have previous knowledge in that but I too will benefit from more instruction. Severus had help us with Potions, I overheard Professor Flitwick remark once that while your knowledge of Defence Against the Dark Arts is exception, you were more keen in Charms. Perhaps, you can help us there?”

Remus beamed, “I wasn’t as talented at Charms as Lily, nor as exceptional at Transfiguration as James but I adequate.”

“Adequate?” Severus sneered, “I think that being third for Marks and a close third belies that Remus. False modesty and humility is as unattractive as narcism and arrogance.”

Remus growled, “I have no need to be seen as attractive in your eyes Severus. I merely wish to be supportive to Harry.”

An owl soared right through the study window and went straight for Remus.

Remus held out his hand.

Instead of deposting a letter it shimmered, transforming into a paper bird and unfolded revealing letter.

Remus held it and read it through. He glanced up and staggered. “No…it can’t be…”

Severus moved closer, “What is wrong now?”

“It’s Corey…”

“Who might this ‘Corey’ be?” Lucius asked raising an eyebrow.

Remus sunk into a chair, “A member of the only pack in Britain who never joined the Dark Lord or treats Greyback as its Alpha. He is the Alpha of a pack I half way consider myself a member of. They granted me sanctuary after James and Lily were murdered. I had been staring with them already but they asked me to stay on.”

“Damocles…” Remus faltered.

“How do you know Damocles?” Severus asked sharply.

“He’s Corey’s mate. Damocles has worked on and off for the Division of Werewolf Support in the Department of Regulation of Magical Creatures. He brew Wolfsbane for Corey as a Bonding gift.” Remus swallowed. “Damocles is warning me. There is a murderer attacking werewolves. Corey is our alpha. The pack is fracturing. Damocles is not one of us, he was merely the mate of the Alpha and our healer. He was also a source of information at the Ministry.”

“I have heard nothing about this…” Lucius frowned. “A person attacking werewolves…might attack anyone with creature blood. Has the Ministry acted?”

Remus shook the letter, “Damocles is furious, he has been told that its no cause of concern. What is one less monster in the world? Not all of us are Greyback!” his anger dissipated, “What must Carys be feeling? She’s only just barely eleven and Theseus is only seven. He’s been their sire, the strong reliable person in their lives. How the pack will recover I don’t know. This is the worst time for this…”

“What does Damocles want?” Severus asked sharply.

Remus sighed, “The one thing I can’t give him. I can’t return to the back and help them recover.”

“Yes you can.” Lucius said dryly.

Remus blinked unsure, “How do you mean? I can’t leave Harry when he needs me.”

“No but I have some relatively unused properties. You could remove the pack there. Raise stronger wards and floo into check on them everyday.” Lucius offered.

“You can’t mean that…we’re werewolves…” Remus gasped.

“You are also people the Ministry is failing to protect. When I have to step in, there will be backlash yes. However, when the Wizarding World has to face that a seven year old boy has lost his father due to a murderer acting out of hatred I will shake the world up if I have give Skeeter a sob story. There are some that would say the only werewolf is a dead one. “

Remus flinched.

Lucius snorted, “However, I am not one. You cannot all be judged as if you were Greyback, nor can all purebloods be judged by Weasley’s actions. You are important to Harry who is important to my son and the man I love with all my heart. To exist peacefully, I have to offer what support I can. If I refuse to offer assistance I am as at fault as those imbeciles at the Ministry. I shall be contacting Amelia to voice my displeasure. There should not be a blind eye turned just because one had the misfortune of being Greyback’s victim. You have just as right to walk the streets as any other wizard without having to worry about being murdered. What method has the murderer taken?”

Remus whispered through tight lips, “A curse that forces liquid silver through our pores so that it burns us from the inside out.” He covered his eyes with his hand, “Carys went to met her father and found him dead just outside the wards. Damocles said he had a hard time figuring out whether Corey had died Apparating to try to reach help or had been attacked outside the pack’s wards.”

“What did he discover?”

“It was Ian and Jayme. Ian already has a grudge against the Ministry. If they don’t do anything to help, he may turn into a vigilante. I do not want that. Damocles is Heartsore but he says that Jayme is trying to calm Ian. If his own mate can’t unless an Alpha takes control no one will be able to stop Ian if he goes rogue. The worst thing for a werewolf former Auror would be go rogue.”

“Why don’t you take up the reigns?” Lucius asked.

“I’m no leader.” Remus protested.

‘You would be a good one without the likes of Potter and Black around.” Severus sneered.

Remus winced, “I know I’m a coward Severus. No need to rub it in.”

Severus snorted, “I’m trying to give you a good kick in the arse like Lily would. This pack of yours needs a leader. If you can step up to Black why can’t you do this? If only to make the pack strong enough to protect the children. If This ‘Ian’ attacks someone the revenge would be swift and their enemies might think that your Carys and Theseus were victims and not children who were part of the pack.”

Remus swallowed, “How can I help Harry and take care of them?”

“How could you handle managing the House Quidditch Team, Charms club, Perfect duties, ten NEWT courses and Dueling Club?” Severus sneered

Remus sighed, “Sheer determination. Harry needs me…”

Draco stuck his chin out in defiance, “He has me. I will help him with anything he needs. If you think he wouldn’t tell you to help them you are crazy. He puts others first. The fact that those kids lost a parent he will be furious with. That the ministry isn’t trying to protect them I don’t think he will understand. He may see them as fellow victims, suffering without support or justice as he was with Weasel.”

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?

Silverkitten - Thanks for the review. I will try to consider your points as I go along.

unneeded - It was an exceptional glamour that he discovered by accident and only with strong will did he learn to cast it early in his Hogwarts years. Poppy is pretty oblivious but how much is due to a lack of skill or malicious meddling is not known yet. Draco will become extremely important to Harry, his rock if you will a combination best friend and boy friend. Draco has never 'seen' the scars when he loks as Harry, because he normally sees Hary the person rather then the ideal. Although in the past his interpretation had been warped. Draco wants the Dursleys and Black punished, since he is underage, he is trusting his father to handle that. He wants Severus to help him with a potion that will affect Harry's scars but only after they are photographed and documented for evidence. He would prefer that was done with Harry's permission but he does that them punished.

delia cerrano - Draco honestly believed what he was seeing, that's why he let Harry into his mind. He thinks Harry in beautiful. If only because the most striking memories of Harry are in the air. Yes sadly there are people who are that cruel to children. Draco is a spoiled brat when it came to things and he didn't see as much of his parents as he wanted to so he has no concept of what sort of conditions Harry really lived in. Mostly because unlike us who had TV he has no point of reference. He sees the damage and his hurt him, because he never saw and Harry isn't a whingy victim like Moaning Myrtle Draco is furious on his behalf he wants revenge but he will settle for justice if its through.

jujukitty - Thanks!

Deylyn -On subject of Rimming I haven't decided yet that is all. it will take time to get there.
