Brother in spirit
On Saturday morning Harry woke up at four-thirty in the morning and instead of turning around and going back to sleep he decided to go for a swim. He put on his swim shorts and when he arrived by the pool jumped in headfirst. He swam forth and back for like 45 minutes before he relaxed and let himself just float. He felt for his magic and when he found it let it flow free around him. The longer he did it the more Harry got the feeling to get to know himself. It was an incredible feeling and only an idea made him get out of the pool. He showered quickly, dressed for the day and went into the kitchen. No one else was up yet so he decided he would cook breakfast for everybody. Harry really liked cooking if he wasn´t forced to do it. He thought of it as very relaxing, and he loved to try knew recipes. Today he decided he would make cinnamon pancakes with fresh fruit, scrambled eggs with bacon and cheese, he called Dobby to bring him fresh bread, made tea and put on a pod of coffee. He heard a noise out in the living room and went looking for who was coming when he saw Malfoy leave Ginny´s room.
“Hey, you better not let Ron see you leave in the morning. I think he will be okay with the two of you only when he doesn´t think about it too much.”
“Well, I didn´t think someone would be up yet.” Draco answered a little embarrassed.
“Do you want some breakfast? I just finished and I don´t like to eat alone.”
“And you want me to eat with you?”
“Why not? I meant what I said yesterday. All the old stuff doesn´t matter anymore. Come sit with me, there are still a few thinks you need to know.” They went to the kitchen together and sat down at the kitchen table. They loaded their plates with food and Harry decided on coffee this morning. They ate in silence for a while until Draco tried one of the pancakes.
“Try these, they are really good.”
“Thanks.” Harry said smiling at him.
“You made these? I wouldn´t have thought you can cook seeing you never were any good at potions.”
“I know its not my best subject but I´m not horrible. I just never saw the need to do well in class. You know, better they underestimate me, that gives me the advantage to surprise them.”
“Guess that makes sense.” There was another silence before Harry decided just to get it out with.
“You know, I am sorry that I refused to take your hand back in first year. I didn´t mean to be mean I just don´t like ultimatums and although it got so bad after that I always wondered what you are really like.”
“I was an arrogant brat back then. Probably because I never really was around other children. I neither have sibling nor cousins and until I came here the only kids I knew, were Crabbe and Goyle since our parents spent a few summers together. What I said to you that day is what I heard my father say countless times and every time people shook his hand. I know now of course that they did it because they are afraid of him but back then I had no idea.”
“So, the only kids you were around were these two chimpanzees? Here was I thinking we never would have something in common.” He laughed.
“What do you mean?” Draco asked.
“The only kid I was around was my cousin. He is pretty much like Crab and Goyle. He alone weighs so much as they do together, and his IQ is theirs combined. It still is lower then 80 but well. The only other kids I knew were the kids at school who never talked to me and his friends who liked to play Harry hunting.” Draco laughed.
“How can one human being be that fat? What? Did he ate all your food growing up?”
“Yes, pretty much. He also never had to lift a finger around the house and the only two things he liked where watching TV while eating and playing video games while eating. I mean you are spoiled but he is on a whole other level.”
“Then I guess that it´s my own fault that you turned me down. With someone like him in your house you probably would run from anyone who´s like him.”
“Yeah well, I don´t blame him. Its my aunt and uncle who screwed him up so badly. I don´t know how many times a day I heard my aunt say: Everything for my cute little Diddikins. That woman needs her head checked. I do pity him though. Who knows what kind of person he could have been had he had normal parents.”
“Sounds like a dream home to me.” Draco said sarcastically. Harry let out a dry laugh.
“Yeah right, anyways, I am glad I can get to know you now. Like I said there are a few things I need to tell you and there are also a few things I need you to do.”
“Okay, start with the things I need to know.”
“Alright well, were to start. Albus Dumbledore is a very bad man…” The next half hour Harry spent telling Draco everything they had found out about the headmaster including that he knew about the abuse Harry suffered by the hands of his family.
“I don´t think I need to tell you that this is privileged information. I trust you to keep my secret. The only people who know about this are the people already on our side. I will probably tell a few other people when the time comes but I am the only one allowed to share my story.”
“Of course, Harry I would never tell anyone about something like this. I swear it.”
“Good, there are two other things. Since I turned 17, I am not only lord of house Potter I am also the head of house Black. You are a Malfoy Black and although house Malfoy has much power in our world house Black has even more. Other then that your family was stripped all ties to house Black when my godfather became head of house, he disinherited all family members that are tied to Voldemort and stripped them of any benefit that come with the name Black. I am willing to reinstate you. You know that the Black family is the only royal family left I assume, that means everything concerning to you would be in my hands. I want you to know that unlike your family I would never arrange a marriage for you. I know your father picked Pansy as your future bride though I assume that is not the woman you want to spend the rest of your life with?” Harry was grateful for the crash curse Severus had given him about everything he needed to know about being the head of such a powerful house.
“I don´t even want to stay a lunch time with her.”
“I thought so. I already told you that you have to cut all ties to your family. I can break your engagement contract with Pansy. All I would have to do is declare you a part of house Black and every contract is resolved. All I need to know if you want me to do so.” Malfoy didn´t answer. Harry looked at him and saw pain in his eyes.
“Something you want to talk to me about?” He asked and Draco sighed.
“My mother. The late lady Black arranged her marriage to my father. You need to know that my mother does not have the dark mark. She is involved with the dark lord, I don´t say she isn´t but she only is because of my father. He is a cruel man. He loves me, I have no doubt about that but only because around him, I act like the son he wants me to be. He never loved my mother. She is an incredible woman who has no power to leave the man who offers her to the dark lord any chance he gets. I don´t even want to think about the stuff that thing is doing when she is with him. I only know, if my mother had a choice, she never had chosen this life for herself nor me. She is a good person who is afraid for her and my life so he does things she, under normal circumstances, would never EVER do.” He looked down sadly.
“Do it, declare me a part of house Black. I will miss her is all.” Harry took out his want.
“I Harry James Potter head of house Potter and the royal family Black declare Draco Lucius Malfoy heir to house Malfoy part of house Black. From this day on he is my responsibility.” Harry came a thought and as soon as it came the words were leaving his mouth.
“From this day forward, he will be my brother in spirit, and I shall do everything in my power to protect and care for him. I vow to uphold my duties and to look after him as my honour commands.” A thin strand of light surrounded them, getting tighter and tighter binding them together. Harry took his seat and smiled at Malfoy.
“Why did you do that?” Malfoy asked.
“I don´t know, you made a huge sacrifice by letting go of the Malfoy name. Your name is Black now. You can start anew and still you will have one person who will be there when ever you need it. I also had another reason, but we will talk about it tonight when I am back. We have loads to do today.” Malfoy nodded.
“You said there were two things I need to know. What is the other?”
“Oh yeah right. Since you are kind of my brother now, you should know that you now are also part of the houses, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Just thought you should know.” Harry laughed out loud when he saw Draco´s face. His eyes were wide, his mouth hung open and he was white as a ghost. Harry´s stomach started to hurt from all the laughter and tears were running down his face. Five minutes later Draco came out of his shock.
“Wow, Potter at least it will never get boring with you will it.”
“Nope, I´m afraid not.”
“You said you needed me to do some things, what do you need?”
“That can wait, I only want you to focus on one thing for now.”
“What?”
“Find out if your mother wants out of all that. If she does, we find a way to get her away from your father and in extent Voldemort. If she doesn´t, then there is nothing I can do but if she does, I will do everything I can to help her.”
“Really?”
“Yes, I took a vow to take care of you. You love your mother. You suffer if she does, that means she is my responsibility too.” Draco starred at him. He was overwhelmed with emotion, there was Harry, a man he treated terribly since day one, declaring him family and saving his and hopefully his mother’s life.
“Thank you.” Draco whispered.
“No problem.” Harry answered and he meant it.
Harry and Draco were still in the kitchen talking and joking around when Severus came through the door.
“Good morning you two.” He walked over to Harry and gave him a kiss.
Good morning Sev if anyone asks you let Draco in this morning.”
“Did I? I wonder why I can´t remember that.” He said grinning. “You two seem to get a long good enough. I´m a little disappointed. I expected a bit more drama.” Harry laughed and Severus took the seat next to him.
“How long are you up?”
“I woke at four thirty and didn´t want to go back to sleep. I went swimming and made breakfast. I just finished when I heard Draco and we have been here since.”
“What´s the plan for today?” He asked and put himself some eggs on his plate.
“Hermione, Ron and I are looking at a few of my houses in search for our new headquarters. Ginny, Neville and Luna will use today to train and I already gave Malfoy his assignment. I thought you might want to come with us, or you could use the free time to talk to McGonagall.”
“No, I would like to come with you. I speak to her tomorrow. I think you guys should talk to Ron´s brothers alone first. I do it when you are with them. It´s Saturday and I would like to have a little time with you.” Harry smiled at him.
“Yeah, me too. Great then that is settled. When we come back, we all have to sit down together. There are things that need to be discussed. Did you see the others when you came down here? Are they up?”
“I saw Hermione but not the others.”
“Alright. Draco, please go and wake Ginny. Tell her to get Ron´s ass out of bed if he wants something to eat. We have much to do in so little time. We will have to leave soon.”
“Alright, I will go and do the thing you asked for. When do you think you will be back?”
“I don´t know exactly. We must look at least at five houses today. I would like to do more but I have to see if we get to it. Let´s meet after dinner. I think seven is good. I see that we are back by then.”
“Alright see you tonight then.” Draco said and left the room.
“Had a fun morning?” Severus asked.
“Yes and no. We talked about some serious stuff but yes, it was fun I guess.”
“Thank you for trying.” Severus said taking Harry´s hand.
“I mean it. It was fun. He is nothing like I thought he would be. It was easy to talk to him ones we got the heavy stuff out of the way. I think I like him, and I know how important he is to you. We also solved one big problem today.”
“Really? What?”
“I declared him a member of house Black. I declared him to be my brother in spirit and since he always was a Black made it my responsibility as head of house to do everything in my power to help him. The first thing we want to do is to get his mother away from Lucius.” Snape looked at him in aww.
“You are the best person I ever met Harry. How can you go from he is my enemy to he is my brother in just a few hours?”
“Simple, he never really was my enemy. He was an annoying little child but not what I consider an enemy. Fact is we all have screwed up lives. We all have our issues. It is the people who surround you that help you heal from them, to allow us to say I´m not perfect, I made mistakes, and that’s all right. He never had someone like that. I had Ron and Moine, he was alone. I wanted to give that to him that’s all.”
“I don´t know anyone else who is so willing to forgive so easily. You have such a big heart, how do you do it? With all the shit you went through. How can you be so much less hateful than the rest of the world?”
“I could sit here and cry about how unfair my life has been but what does that bring me? Nothing. I´m not saying everybody deserves to be pardoned it´s just stupid to hold on to childish grudges. Also, I think that is one of the ways to make it easier to share my gifts. My theory is that if I am bound to someone then there is already a connection between us. I think I need to form some kind of magical bond with all the people I will share the gifts with, just to make it easier but also to protect them during the actual ritual. When I am bonded to all of them, I will stand in the centre of you guys. You will be forming a circle around me and I will let my magic go wild in the room. The right spell and my magic will manifest itself in the people surrounding me. The bond will prevent that my magic will harm you while we´re doing it.”
“It´s an interesting approach and the only idea we have. What kind of bonds? Will it work with every bond or just the family bond?”
“I´m not sure. I think it has to be a strong one like family, but I don´t know. The idea came me while I was in the pool. I just started thinking about it while my magic floated around me and the answer just build itself in my mind.”
“Well good thing is that you already have very strong bonds with Ron, Ginny and Hermione. They are naturally formed bonds that grew deep over the years, so I guess since you already see yourselves as family, you won’t have to form a new magical bond there. Have you thought about who else you would want to share with?”
“Kind of. I think the spell will be best with seven of you since it is such a strong magical number in our world. My final decision is I want Ginny and since she is with Draco him too. Ron and his significant other same with Hermione and you. I know Ron has no girlfriend but I´m pretty sure Hermione is seeing Victor Krum. She hasn´t said anything but I know they write a lot and that she saw him this summer and last. If Ron doesn´t find someone at the time we do the ritual my last vote goes to Remus but only if he wants to join us.”
“Sounds like you have a solid plan.”
“We have to figure out what we do with our bond. I could declare you family but since we are a thing that would be weird. Any idea?”
“The only other bonds that I think would be strong enough are marriage which is way to soon to think about and a soul mate bond. I don´t know if I would call us that but who knows.”
“Is there a way to find out?”
“Yes, but let’s not talk about it now.”
“Why?”
“Because it´s a scary thought. Soul mates are rare, and it is old magic. The last known soul mates lived 200 years ago. The wife died prematurely, and her husband lost his mind. He suffered so much under her loss that after a year of madness in St.mungo’s he took his own life by burning himself alive. It´s a little scary needing someone so much.” Harry could see that. The story alone gave him goosebumps everywhere.
“We will figure something out.”
“That we will.” Severus said and smiled. Harry stood up sat down on his lap. Severus hugged him and Harry lay his head on his shoulder. The next ten minutes they sat there snuggling and kissing before the door to the kitchen flew open and his friends came in.
“Hurry up guys, we leave in twenty minutes.” Harry said and watched his friends eat breakfast.
