Chapter 20
He was so tired, doing nothing but tossing and turning last night; Harry could not sleep from what Remus and Sirius had told him. He knew his place in the world, he was supposed to meet a girl, get married, have children. With the ‘Elf sex talk’ now he didn’t know what he was, a bearer, or the wooer? It was so confusing that he couldn’t even pay attention to Rabastion’s lesson; being his favorite, especially now that he had started learning wandless magic.
One moment he wanted to find out, the other he wanted to hide continuing to live in blissful ignorance. What was worse; he didn’t even know what he would prefer. The thought of having someone love, need and care for him had an appeal all of its own. But did he want to be the one to bear children? He shuddered at the thought, Harry had heard some stories; of the cravings and mood swings that some of his dorm mates told of their older sisters being pregnant. How their ankles swelled and they would waddle when they moved. Would he want to be on the receiving end of those mood swings instead of giving them? Then there was the fear of the dominants; what if his mate turned him down? Choosing to be with someone else as he watched and withered away; like what happened too Severus. That fate would be worse than being pregnant, turning into a bitter Severus.
By the time Harry had his healing lesson with Bellatrix, he was fairly sure he would ask her for help; or maybe he wouldn’t? But what choice did he have, obviously blissful ignorance wouldn’t work considering he couldn’t stop thinking about it. Pulling as much courage he had, he knocked on the door, hoping that Bellatrix wasn’t there, then he would have an excuse not to ask her.
“Come in Harry.” With the sound of the other Elf’s voice, his last line of defense went out the window. Looking down at his feet, Harry shuffled into the infirmary.
“Harry what’s wrong; usually you’re bouncing off the walls after my mate’s lesson?” Bellatrix asked showing real concern for the first time Harry could remember.
“I don’t know what I am?” Harry said in a quiet cry of despair.
“Of course you do, you are an Elf, the Enrai...” Bellatrix said confusion coloring her speech. “Why don’t you start from the beginning?”
Harry shook his head, she didn’t understand; of course she didn’t understand Bellatrix grew up knowing what she was; she didn’t have the confusion keeping her awake at night; the confusion of not knowing. So he started from the beginning telling her everything that Remus and Sirius told him. Finishing with, “… I don’t know if I am a dominant or submissive.”
Understanding crossed Bellatrix’s face; putting her arm around Harry leading him to the bed pushing him to sit. “Well that’s easy enough to fix.” Bellatrix said as she rubbed soothing circles on Harry’s back. “All it takes is a simple spell and I can find out for you?” Harry still didn’t know if he wanted an answer, but the indecision wasn’t doing him any good either.
Bellatrix interrupted his thoughts, “You know that it doesn’t matter whether you’re a dominant or submissive; you are still going to be the same Harry regardless.”
For some odd reason he needed to hear that; that he wouldn’t change no matter which role he would have in a relationship. Actually if he thought about it he had that role from the moment he was born, so it couldn’t actually change him. With new hope shining in his eyes he took the leap nodding at Bellatrix for her to do the spell.
Bellatrix nodded back to Harry, giving him a small smile, waving her hand. It must be an Elven spell that she was using, as only Elven spells didn’t need the use of a wand. As the spell started; chiming with different bells; Bellatrix started writing the interpretations the bells told. After a couple of minutes the music of the chiming bells stopped and Bellatrix looked up from her parchment.
“So Harry it is definitive, by the structure of your pelvic region you are a submissive…Now the bells also told me a couple of other things I want to address, first is your exhaustion level right now.” Bellatrix stopped; looking at Harry for him to explain.
“Yea… well I didn’t get much sleep last night…” A huge yawn interrupting Harry from talking.
“Yes well I think it would be better if you stayed here and took a small nap, we can cancel your lesson for the day, you wouldn’t learn anything in this state anyway.” Bellatrix tucked a blanket around Harry, who was already asleep before she could be done; his earlier stress already forgotten.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Draco wasn’t following Harry, nor was he spying on him…He was being a courteous host to see if his guest for the summer needed anything. It was his right….no wait, his duty to make sure that Harry was having a pleasant experience at the Manor. So when he peeked into the infirmary room to make sure his Aunt wasn’t being unpleasant to his guest, Draco felt he had every right to stay and overhear the ensuing conversation.
“So Harry it is definitive, by the structure of your pelvic region you are a submissive…” What his Aunt said had Draco backpedalling. Never in a million years did he think that Harry could be a submissive. It was irrational, not expected, and the thought never even crossed his mind. The last submissive Enrai was over a thousand years ago. How could they expect there to be one now?
With a snort Draco realized everything made sense…He would have to tell father right away. Plans would have to be made, a game of chase needed to be won. Which Draco had every intention of wining.

Aubrey sat next to her grandson’s bedside while he slept. When Bellatrix found her explaining what had happened, she was slightly worried at the stress her grandson had endured for the last day; and a little irked at the two who made Harry doubt himself. Those two could have handled the situation better, but it was already done so she would have to pick up the pieces.
With everything that had been shoved onto Harry’s shoulders, it was bound to become too much. Even for her, it was almost too much, the only difference was Aubrey had years of learning, understanding, and patience; whereas Harry only had nearly fifteen. At least Tom had done the right thing and brought her to Harry, she could be that ear when he needed; someone in his corner who would always side with him.
Watching Harry awaken, moving his head, adjusting his body, going from sleeping and wakefulness; caused a smile to spread across her features. She went to stand next to Harry’s bedside; looking down at him; carding her fingers through his hair. It had gotten longer from the pictures she had been shown of him; during his previous school days. It suited him better, the longer it got the less it looked like a rats nest. The once messy locks turned into waves; framing his face, brushing the collar of his shirt.
Green eyes opened, and a small smile appeared on her grandson’s face, “Grandmother?” It was one word, but that one word could always make her heart soar. How could anyone hurt someone that perfect, innocent, sweet; the longer that Aubrey thought about all the things her daughter had done to Harry, the angrier she was became. It was almost time for her to make a visit, although she still loved her daughter, but to see the damage she had caused it was unacceptable.
“Grandmother?” Aubrey smoothed out the frown that marred her appearance, turning it into a smile.
“Sorry love, I was thinking of other things. How are you feeling?” Aubrey said slightly amused to see her grandson blushing.
“Ummmm….how much do you know?” Harry asked her, casting his eyes down.
“Oh’ just about everything, Bellatrix thought you might need me here when you awoke.” Aubrey said as she stopped carding her fingers through his hair. Aubrey grabbed his chin, forcing Harry to look her in the eyes. “What I don’t know is how you are feeling?”
Harry tried to squirm away but her grip made sure he wasn’t going anywhere. “I don’t know….It’s all so confusing.”
“Well...I bet it is love, why don’t we have some tea and we can discuss it.” Aubrey said calling a house elf to bring them tea, and sandwiches. A couple minutes later the house elf reappeared with the requested items, and Aubrey’s thank you to the creature had it bowing and crying in gratitude to ‘the kind lady’. It never failed to amuse her, how those tiny creatures could have such antics.
“Now tell me what confuses you the most.” Aubrey asked after her grandson had eaten his sandwich and was now sitting back sipping is tea.
“It’s better now that I know I am a submissive, I am not stressing over not knowing right now.” Aubrey watched as her grandson started picking at his sleeve. “but then it becomes scary…I mean eventually I will bear children…What will all my friends at school think….will they still be my friends when they find out the truth?...Then there’s not knowing who my mate is, what if they don’t like me…but have to be with me?”
Aubrey stopped her grandson there; it looked as if he was working himself up too much. “Well let’s take care of a couple of these problems before you think of more.” Aubrey went to sit on the bed with Harry so she could be closer to her Grandson. “The problem with your friends is easy to solve, if they are truly your friends than none of this will matter. It’s not their life but yours. Honestly anyone who isn’t your friend is just an idiot anyway….”
“Draco was never my friend till this summer, who knows what he is going to be like when we get back to school.” Harry said interrupting his grandmother.
“Well yes the blond is a special case I think. Ever heard of the boy who would pull the girls hair?” Aubrey asked her grandson, the corners of her mouth twitching upwards.
“No...” Confusion falling onto Harry’s face.
“Well that doesn’t matter, but I don’t think Draco is going anywhere, anytime soon.” Aubrey gave her Grandson her full mischievous grin, eyes alight with hidden laughter. “Now don’t worry about children you are years away from having them. But I will say it is delightful when you get to spend months ordering your mate around for no other reason but you can.”
Harry laughed at that, and Aubrey joined him. “Now for your mate, the best option is to watch the Elves around you and see how they treat you. One of them will start to stand out.” Giving Harry something to do, would help relieve some of the anxiety that he was feeling.
Harry still uncertain asked, “But what if they don’t like me?”
Aubrey looked behind her when she heard a noise. The blond Elf walked in looking at Harry in what could be mistaken for annoyance, but Aubrey knew better. It was time to have a talk with the blond about her grandson. “Please, Potter who wouldn’t like you, you have everyone at your beck and call if you wanted.” So this must be the famous rivalry I have heard so much about. Well done, Draco goading my grandson away from his thoughts.
“That’s not true…You don’t like me Draco.” Harry said glancing at the blond, with a wry grin.
“Now Potter that is only a matter of perspective.” Draco said raising his eyebrow at her grandson. Who only laughed at the blond.
“I think I’ll let you two have some fun, although I would recommend that Harry stays here or heads to his chambers; Bellatrix did say he needed to rest for the day.” Aubrey said as she got up giving her Grandson a kiss before leaving.
Before she was out of earshot from the two, she could hear the blond asking if Harry wanted to play a game of chess. Yes, Draco would be good for Harry.
