Chapter 21
Harry did feel better after talking with his Grandmother; she had a way of looking at a situation and making complete sense of it. The problem was her comment; asking if he knew the story of ‘the boy who pulled the girls hair’ bugged him. He didn’t know what it meant, and looking through the Malfoy library; wasn’t helping, nowhere in the massive pile of books; could he find any reference to the story. He was about to pull his hair out if he couldn’t find any answers to that comment soon, knowing his grandmother had implied it towards Draco.
The only solution he had left was to owl Hermione, if anyone knew what it meant; she would. That witch knew everything, and what she didn’t know Hermione was a genius in finding the information. The dilemma however was Harry couldn’t tell her about anything else that had happened that summer, this was something he would have to tell her in person. Although Harry didn’t want to outright lie to his friend, omitting the truth couldn’t be considered a lie.
Hermione,
Hey how’s your summer? You know how mine usually is, overloaded with work. I overheard something the other day and was wondering if you could find out what it means? Have you ever heard the story about the boy who pulled the girls hair? It’s kinda bugging me, I think I have heard of it before, but it keeps slipping from my mind. And before you ask, YES I have been studying. I know…hard to believe. Well I have to make it short, miss you, and I will see you soon on the train.
Harry
Harry rolled up the parchment tying it to Hedwig’s leg. Scratching the top of her snowy head feeling her soft feathers. “Take this to Hermione girl, could you please wait for a reply?” Hedwig hooted once that sounded almost like a yes, and flew off in search of his friend.
Harry hoped that it wouldn’t take Hermione long to answer or try to pry too hard; reading between the lines. She was way too astute for her own good, and he was worried that Hermione would figure something was wrong before he had a chance to tell her.

Tom looked around the room to all the Elves, what used to be just the Inner Circle had now branched out to anyone who had any interactions with Harry. Well almost anyone, he refused to let Draco come to these weekly meetings; the menace was part of the problem.
“How, accurate is the test you performed on Harry, Bellatrix?” Tom had to know, it was very rare to have the Enrai as a submissive. It had only occurred a couple of times in their history, and the last one was over a thousand years ago.
“The test is completely accurate; you see in a submissive the bone structure of the Pelvic region is pliant…” Bellatrix started to explain how the test was accurate using medical terms that had Tom lost within seconds.
“Please I don’t need an in-depth explanation of the Enrai’s pelvic region…I only needed to know if the test could be wrong.” Tom leveled his red gaze on Bellatrix, as the rest of the Elves snickered. “Does anyone know who could be claiming Harry as their mate?”
“Please Tom…Everyone in this room knows who it is.” Aubrey said her tone bordering on disrespect. On top of everything else she was the only one to refuse to call him Lord, saying the title was archaic. There were times that Aubrey would annoy him for hours, asking question after question, then badgering him how he had done things. And if it were her that had been running things what she would have done differently. The Heiress was impossible some days, and complete pain in the ass the others.
“Well if you know…Enlighten us?” Tom said in a low voice with his teeth clenched.
The Heiress pointed at Lucius, “its Luke’s son the blond dragon.” Saying all this in her superior tone; corners of her mouth turning upwards. Like she knew a secret but refused to tell anyone what it was.
Tom looked towards Lucius seeing his face turn a shade of red, lips thinning out as he clenched his teeth. “Heiress, please I have said it before, it’s Lucius, not Luke…A Malfoy wouldn’t have such a plebian name.” Tom could see the strain on Lucius jaw, from speaking through his teeth in the attempt to not explode in anger.
In sweet voice the Heiress answered, “Oh’ I’m sorry…sometimes in my age I forget the simplest of things…” Then she smirked in her secret way, “Luke correct?”
If it wasn’t for Narcissa, Lucius probably would have lost it, but with her intervention; Lucius stayed in his seat. “Yes I concur with the Heiress I have noticed the signs as well.” Narcissa said while still putting a restraining hand on her mate.
Then Remus spoke up, “Yes Draco has an uncanny ability of always finding a way to get Harry out of the lesson’s he doesn’t want to be in.” Further diffusing the situation, bringing it back on track.
“Yes Lucius you should know of some of your son’s ability to get Harry from unwanted lessons.” That was Sirius making the situation worse.
That was met with a round of laughter, and even Narcissa couldn’t keep Lucius in his seat anymore. “Why you mangy mutt, what do you…”
Tom knowing that an escalated argument right now would not help anything stood up as well; raising his voice spoke over Lucius, “That is enough, Lucius take your set.” Tom looked over to Aubrey noticing she had a self satisfied smirk on her face. “Lucius I need to know if you were successful at the governors’ meeting for Hogwarts?”
With a huff, and a final glare at both Sirius and Aubrey, Lucius answered. “Yes it is set in motion, even though Dumbledore is not happy about the choice, the rest of the governors believe it is for the best that one of their own is the next Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor.”
“So who is the new professor of the brats?” Severus asked Lucius.
“Why, who else could even come close to being qualified, but myself.” Lucius answered in the most arrogant voice, making Tom further grind his teeth.
That sent Sirius over the edge laughing hysterically, pointing at Lucius. “You…A…A…Professor…”
“Remus please control your mate…If you can’t I may have to make him leave.” Tom addressed the Elf already tired beyond belief. Couldn’t this generation ever grow up; Harry was able to control himself better than this.
Waiting till Sirius was in control of himself again, Tom asked, “Sirius, are you still allowing the order use Grimmauld place?”
“Yes, they just had a meeting last night…It seems Dumbledore wants to have the order pick Harry up two weeks before school starts.” Sirius took a breath before finishing, “He wants Harry and Ron to reconcile their friendship and the Weasley’s have now taken over Grimmauld place in preparation of Harry’s coming.” Sirius finished with a grimace.
Lucius couldn’t help but answer, “Better your place than the Manor.” With a smirk directed at Sirius.
“Please let’s not start this again.” Tom interrupted before it got out of hand again. “That is not the greatest news, but it does give us a month to prepare Harry before he is to leave us. We can’t keep Dumbledore away from Harry, but we can give him the tools needed for him to be able to handle the situation.”
“Ohhh that means Harry will be here for his birthday, we can throw him a party.” Aubrey said clapping her hands excitedly.
“Everyone knows that he needs to be spoiled more.” Narcissa said a gleam in her eye at the prospect of planning a party. “We have so much to do Heiress. Harry only gets the best.”
“Please none of this Heiress stuff from you Narcissa, Aubrey will be just fine.” Tom watched the two leave before he could dismiss everyone. He still was wondering if it was the best option to bring her here, some days she caused too much trouble, than it was worth.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dinner that night was interesting, what with Narcissa and his Grandmother sitting close to each other whispering back and forth. They reminded Harry of the girls at Hogwarts, with all the whispering, pointing, and giggling. Then there was Lucius; who kept on sending his icy glare to Sirius and his Grandmother; Harry wondered what those two had done to irk Lucius. By far the strangest occurrence was Draco, as he still refused to let Harry make his own plate. When asked, the blond would say ‘Harry was a guest, and it was his right to make sure he had everything he needed’.
With all the undercurrents at dinner, Harry couldn’t wait to retreat to his chambers. Well there was also the reason that Hedwig may have returned. After turning down a request of a game from a certain blond, and his grandmother asking if he wanted to come with her; saying that ‘he was tired and was just going to sleep’. Harry raced to his room, hoping the snowy owl had returned.
Looking at the window sill that was Hedwig’s favorite perch, he noticed that the snowy owl had returned, looking innocent, cleaning her feathers. “Hey girl, did you bring me something?” Harry asked as he approached the window to sill. Hedwig held her leg out for Harry to untie the parchment; with a soft hoot for reply. “Thank you girl, you have no idea how I was hoping you would have returned.” Hedwig nipped his fingers going back to cleaning her feathers.
Harry slowly untied the letter from Hermione, even though he really wanted to know what the story meant, he was nervous at what the contents could mean.
Harry
I am so happy to hear from you; usually you’re not able to write over the summer. I hope that means your family is treating you better. Well I just heard from the Headmaster and it seems he has invited me to Sirius’s home the last two weeks of summer, something about you being there as well. So that means we can see each other sooner than the Hogwart’s express. Isn’t that great. Well so far my summer has been grand, with mother and father taking me on vacation, and everything else. And to hear you have been studying, you almost made me faint. Although I will not believe it till I see it. What you asked me about ‘the boy and girl’; it is actually a muggle term more than a story. basically it means is that the boy who likes the girl will be mean to her, pull her hair and such; instead of just telling the girl he likes her. I hope that jogs your brain a little bit. I hope you family isn’t being too atrocious and are giving you some time to yourself instead of having you do chores all day long. Take care of yourself and see you soon.
Hermione
Harry sat there and rereading the letter over and over, hands shaking, mouth open in a stupor. That couldn’t be what that story his grandmother mentioned, meant. That would mean that he was Draco’s mate, that Draco liked him, that Draco would do anything to make him happy. Thinking over the last couple of weeks at the Manor. The way Draco was always trying to find him. Doing whatever Harry wanted. Getting Harry out of his lessons. Making sure Harry ate properly.
It all made sense, but did Draco know or was he following instinct? Did Harry even want to have Draco in that way? Did he even have a choice? What would he choose if he did have a choice? Well Harry did have a choice, he didn’t have to become Draco’s mate, but then he would condemn Draco to be as bitter as Severus. Could he do that to Draco?
Granted in the last couple of weeks Draco had gotten better, he was nicer, the sarcasm that used to annoy Harry; was actually funny. Then Harry remembered the notes he was now sending, and how he taught Harry potions. There was some possibility there, but Draco still had some work to do. Then there was fate, Harry knew fate would love nothing more than to send him a curve ball.
Remembering what Sirius said about submissives had all the power, Harry wondered how far he could take that; and what exactly Draco would do to win him.
