Potter Lodge

Harry sat next to his cousin’s bed thinking about everything he´d learned that day and he felt like his head was about to explode. Hermione and Mrs. Malfoy came in with tea and biscuits and his new sister settled down next to him while Draco´s mother sat down on the other site of the bed. Hermione handed him a cup which he accepted gratefully.
“You alright Harry?” She asked smiling at him.
“Not really no. So much information in one day, I really do need a pensive. Maybe I can find one while we´re away, otherwise I might go mad.”
“Can you believe what Neville did?” Harry shook his head.
“First I couldn´t believe it but now I think I get it. Think about it Hermione, he just found out that the woman who tortured his parents into madness, may wouldn´t have if it weren´t for Dumbledore´s interference. You know Neville, now that he knows he will never get his revenge since she couldn´t help herself. I don´t want to kill her anymore either. Yes, she took Sirius from me, but it´s not her fault. Everything comes back to the old man. I just can´t believe that he got away with all that.”
“You can´t find a body when you never look for it Mr. Potter. No one had reason to doubt him after he defeated Grindelwald.” Said Narcissa in a quiet voice.
“Your probably right but please call me Harry.” She smiled and nodded.
“What are you going to do with him?” Hermione asked looking at Dudley.
“Honestly I don´t know. I could send him back to Privet Drive since Vernon won´t be around anymore but he´s underage and would have to go into the system. I also could try to find Petunia, but I doubt he will want to stay with her after she abandoned him and left him to his father’s mercy. So, none of that will do, I think. That leaves only two options. One, I get him to one of my houses that aren´t being used for anything and set him up with money to live on or two, He stays with us in the trunk until we finish Hogwarts and think about where he should go after that.”
“Would you be able to stand being around him for so long? You told us that you never really got along.”
“Yeah, although he stopped harassing me after I saved him from the dementors two years ago, so I guess it shouldn´t be a problem. Also, maybe now that he isn´t around his parents anymore we could have a fresh start. I think I would like that actually. I always wondered how he really is, maybe now I can find out.”
“But how can you just forget what he put you through all these years?”
“Hermione what was he supposed to do? He never learned any different. His parents treated me like shit since the time he was able to remember anything. If you hear something often enough, you start to believe it. I certainly believed them until I learned the truth about everything. Everybody is capable of changing and I think he deserves a second chance.” Harry was shocked when he noticed that he meant every word.
Who would have thought? Hermione looked at him proudly.
“Do you think it only happened that one time?” Hermione asked looking at the sleeping men.
“The rape yes, the beatings hell no. I think Vernon got addicted to the pain of others. I believe he couldn´t have gone so long without it.”
“That is a sick man, I never thought I´d say this about anybody but I´m glad that after tonight he will never be able to hurt anyone ever again. Just think what would happen if Dudley had a child some day who is a wizard, I bet he wouldn´t hesitate to abuse his grandchild either.”
“Yeah…” was all Harry could think of saying. The thought made him sick.
“How much dreamless sleep did he take?”
“Not much I think he should be up in an hour at the latest. I think the others should be back by then.”
“Severus told us that you talked to the castle, how´d you do it?”
“Don´t really know. I sat there thinking about finding a way to notify you when we come back without the headmaster noticing when I heard a voice in my head telling me I shouldn´t worry about it. When I asked who it was, I saw the castle in my head. I think I only need to think about the question I want to ask her, and she gives me what I need to know but we´ll see, I´m sure it wont be the last time?”
“You… you can talk to the castle? How is that possible? I thought only the headmaster could do that.” Narcissa asked with wide eyes.
“Yes and no. Normally only the headmaster can but since Hogwarts belongs to me it answers to me too, that is until I tell her to stop listening to Dumbledore.”
“But how?” She asked again.
“I am the heir to the four, that’s how.” Harry said. Narcissa just looked at him, shock clearly written on her face. Harry heard Hermione giggle and couldn´t help the chuckle that escaped his mouth.
“So, Italy heh? Do you know where in Italy?” He asked his friend.
“Well, that depends on where you want to go. You have two properties there. One is in Neapel which lies by the Ocean and one in the Toscana which is more of a whine region which should be more secluded then the other, but I don´t know where exactly. We could look at both and then decide where to stay. We can all stay together or split up in two groups and meet for any activities that we may want to do.” Harry nodded. He had to admit that splitting up may not be the worst idea. Ten people cramped up in one house wouldn´t be very relaxing.
“Do you want to ask Victor to come? With all the couples around, I don´t want you to feel like a third wheel.”
“That´s nice Harry but I think it´s better if he stays in Bulgaria. Didn´t I tell you. He found a team he wants to play for here in England so he will move here soon. He should spend the time he has left with his family and friends.”
“Really? That´s great. Which team?”
“I´m not supposed to say before the official announcement.”
“Oh, come on Mione, I made you my sister, the least you can do is tell me.”
“Harry James Potter! You pretend like it´s a hardship to have me as your sister. I am hurt to my bone young man.” She said teasingly.
“Hermione Jean Potter you know very well that nothing makes me happier, but I still want to know.” He said with a big grin.
“Alright fine, but you can´t tell Ron, I want to see his face when he reads the announcement. He will freak out.”
“He really chose the Chudley Cannons? You´re kidding.” Harry said laughing.
“I am not actually. He said he never met a better coach, and he plans to rebuild the team completely. I think they only keeping one of the players currently on the team. One of the beaters, everyone else will be replaced. His plan is to go from worst team to best in only one season. You just watch and see.”
“Are you guys talking about Victor Crum? The Bulgarian seeker?”
“Yes, we met him in the tri wizard tournament and these two been together ever since.” Harry said looking at Mrs. Malfoy.
“Really?” The witch asked incredulously. Hermione nodded.
“What´s a seeker?” Dudley´s voice came from the bed. All three of them looked at his cousin.
“You´re up. How are you feeling?” Harry asked.
“Much better. Where am I?”
“You´re at headquarters. The house is mine, but we won´t stay much longer.”
“What? Where are we going? You wont sent me back there, will you? I can´t go back there, please don´t make me, I do everything you say I promise.”
“Hey, calm down, will you? Of course, I won’t sent you back. Besides your father will be dead by now and you can´t live there alone since you´re underage. I can move you to another house of mine where you can stay, or you stay with me and my friends. I am warning you though. Should you decide to stay with us then you´ll only be able to get out in the evenings. No one can now who you really are or that you are at Hogwarts.” He looked at his cousin.
“I… I think I want to stay with you. I don´t want to be alone in a place I don´t know.”
“Hogwarts it is then. Can you handle being around wizards all the time?”
“I guess. You won’t use magic on me though, right?”
“I can´t promise you that it will never happen Dud, our world is in the middle of a war, and I am one of the key players. Being around me is dangerous, everyone close to me is a target and I can´t promise you that you won’t get hurt but I will not make it a habit I promise.”
“Hogwarts is your School?”
“Yes, but we won´t go there tonight. We decided that we need a little vacation so we will leave for Italy as soon as the others come back. It shouldn´t take long.”
“Alright, how do we get there?”
“I think we will make a portkey, it´s easier for a group. You just have to touch it and it will transport you to where you want to go. You should also know that we are going to travel back in time for a few days, so no one notices that we´re not at school.”
“You can really do that?” Harry nodded and chuckled at the face his cousin was making.
“This is crazy…” Dudley mumbled under his breath. Harry and Hermione looked at each other. They could understand how his cousin must be feeling right now. Both went through the same thing when they learned about magic and all that comes with it for the first time.

Harry´s feet hit solid ground and he smiled when he opened his eyes. The Villa was located on a small cliff with a beautiful view of the ocean. It was medium sized and had a garden full of flowers and trees with fruit. A sign made out of wood read “the Potter lodge.” He made his way to the house and the others followed him after he invited them into the wards. Dudley’s face was priceless when a house appeared seemingly out of nothing, and Harry smiled when he opened the front door. He stepped in the living room and found it again connected to an open kitchen. The couch was huge and looked very comfortable. He looked at the pictures at the walls and his eyes got a little teary when he spotted a Family picture. James had his arm around a very pregnant Lilly and around them Harry saw the rest of his family whom he never met. Severus came up behind him and lay his chin on Harry´s shoulder.
“Look how happy they look. Lily always told me that she wanted to be a mother. Even when we were still young. You were her dream come true.” Harry smiled and turned to look at the others.
“How do you want to do this? We can stay together or some of us could stay at my other house. Personally, I think ten people in one place is a little crowded, but I don´t really care.” The others agreed and they decided that Harry and Severus would stay behind along with Hermoine, Ron, Cho and Dudley while Luna, Neville, Draco and Ginny would go stay in the other house. They planned to come back the next day to spend time together at the beach and the others left. Harry went up the stairs to look at the bedrooms. Everything was covered in dust so Harry called Dobby and Kreacher so the two of them could clean up a bit and went back downstairs to join the others.
“Before we meet with the other tomorrow, we need to go into the city to get Dudley some new stuff. I also never owned a pair of swimsuits so I will need to get some too.”
“I also need a few things, I don´t really own much muggle clothing.” Severus said.
“Then let’s do it. I like shopping as any other girl does and they have great stores in Italy. I also would love to visit a restaurant. Maybe we can do that tomorrow evening before the others return for the night.” Cho said happily.
“We can do all that. We have five days before we go back. That should be enough to relax a bit but not to long, so we get out of our routine. For now, the only thing I want to do is eat and sleep. I´m exhausted, it was a long day.” Harry said with a big yawn. He called Dobby to make them dinner while Kreacher prepared the bedrooms. The food was delicious and when they were done Harry smiled when he saw that the house was spotless. He climbed up the stairs and said good night to the others before he and Severus disappeared in one of the bedrooms. As soon as his head hit the pillow, he was fast asleep.

The others already waited for them when they returned form their shopping trip the next day. After putting away the stuff they bought Harry quickly changed into his swim shorts and glanced in the mirror. He was pleased to see that he had filled out a bit more and that all his training already started to show. The salve he had used on his scars had done all it could. They were somewhat smaller and a faded white instead of the angry read it had been before, but you could still see them quite good. He sighed and pit on a shirt before heading down the stairs. Together they walked the small part down the cliff to the beach and Harry loved the feel of the sand underneath his feet. He transfigured a small rock into a bath towel and sat down watching the waves for a few minutes. He looked up when he heard someone clear his throat.
“Could you do that for me too?” Dudley asked pointing at his towel and Harry nodded before taking out his wand. His friends already were on their way to the water and Harry smiled when he heard them laughing with each other.”
“Are you not going in?” Severus asked watching him carefully.
“Maybe later. I just want to take this in for a second I never saw the Ocean before.”
“Alright. Don´t wait too long or I will get you myself.” He said giving him a kiss on the cheek before he tugged off his shirt and walked to the water. Harry couldn´t take his eyes from him. His creamy white skin was stretched over defined muscles, a fine line of black hair on his lower abdomen. Harry swallowed and he felt a little tickle in his stomach.
“So, you´re gay heh?” His cousin asked.
“Guess so, although I never really was attracted to anyone before him. I thought I liked a girl ones, but it wasn´t like this.”
“You really like him don´t you?”
“No, I love him.” Dudley nodded.
“I like guys too you know. I never thought I would tell anyone, I certainly couldn´t have told my parents, you know how they are, but it is kind of liberating to say it out loud.”
“What happened to you? You don´t talk like the Dudley I know.”
“I changed.”
“But why?”
“I dunno, after you saved me from that thing, I figured out some stuff.”
“What did you hear when the Dementors were around?” Harry asked. He was curious about that since it happened.
“I didn’t really hear anything. I saw my life in front of my eyes as it is. I saw the spoiled dependent little boy I was. All the things I did to you and the neighbour kids, and I hated what I saw. So much so that I started to pay attention in school, and I even got a part time job delivering newspapers. I lost a little weight and started to feel much better about myself. I stopped hanging out with Pears and the others too.”
“Wow, Dudley, I must say I am proud of you.”
“Thanks. So, you and that guy. He seems nice.”
“He is, well now he is, to me and my friends at least. He is one of my teachers and he hated me for the longest time. It was only start of term that we could lay our differences aside.”
“You fell in love with someone who hated you?”
“Yes, he treated me pretty poorly too. You see, my mum was his best friend growing up, at least until they had a bad fight from which they never recovered, and my dad was his childhood enemy who bullied him when they were at school, and I look just like him and he never gave me a chance from the start. Sometimes love is strange. Even when we hated each other I always wanted his approval, to earn his respect.”
“Then how the hell did you fall in love then?”
“He overheard a conversation I had the first night back at school and he saw me getting healed after the latest beating from dear uncle.” Harry said sarcastically.
“He ordered me to his office the next day and we talked. He listened to me for the first time ever and somehow, I knew that I could trust him. From then on, we had a truce which turned into an alliance. We became friends and fell for another. It all happened pretty quickly but I think it was meant to be so. I needed him to be strict with me at first, he kept me grounded.”
“Kept you grounded?” Dudley asked.
“Yes, I´m kind of a celebrity in our world. The night my parents died the bad wizard that killed them tried to kill me too, but after my mom sacrificed herself for me the spell rebounded and destroyed his body instead. That´s how I got my scar.”
“So, you killed a man when you were only a year old?”
“No, his body was destroyed but his soul survived. He came back to life three years ago, after I won the tri wizard tournament, but he tried a few times before, but I could stop him each time.”
“How´d you do that?”
“I would like to know that too.” Draco said and Harry looked up to see the others had come to join them in the sun.
“Alright I tell you, but I need your guys help. I don´t remember every detail and Ron, Hermione were with me most of the time.” The next few hours Harry and his best friends told the others all about the adventures they had while at Hogwarts. It was fun to see their reactions especially Dudley`s as he learned about three headed dogs, dragons, mermaids and the darkest wizard in history.
“So, you´re a freakin superhero.” Dudley said after they finished their tale.
“No believe me, I´m not. Most of the time that one,” he pointed at Hermione
“Saved my ass and I always had help and god damn luck.” He said forcefully.
“He always does that.” Hermione said.
“Yeah, he just never mentions that he is the most powerful wizard alive.” Ron added.
“Guys, stop, please. It isn´t like that.”
“Always so humble.” Sang Luna and smiled and Harry only shook his head.
“You forget that we saw the beast you slaughtered down in the chamber.” Severus said taking his hand in his.
“I could show you the memory of that, it was glorious.” Ginny said wickedly.
“Yes, lets watch it when were back at school. I can´t wait.” Draco said excitedly and Harry couldn´t help but laugh. It wasn´t much longer before they made their way up to the house to get ready for dinner. Hermione lend Ginny and Luna flowing dresses that she´d bough and Harry handed out cloth to Draco and Neville.
The food was great. Cho picked a restaurant that served traditional Italian food and Harry loved the Pizza. They ate and chatted about this and that, enjoying the company of each other. Before the others left, they made plans for the next day and Harry was glad that he would get a little quiet time before they would meet up again. He planned to go on a walk the next morning to watch the sunrise all by himself. He smiled, he loved his friends, but sometimes he enjoyed being alone.

He should have known though that Hermione would have the same idea. The next morning when he walked down to the beach, he saw his best friend already sitting in the sand watching the waves. He sighed and sat down next to her.
“I knew I would meet you here. In some ways we are so much alike.” The witch said looking at him.
“Yeah…”
“Something is bothering you; I can tell.”
“I´m okay.”
“No, you´re not.”
“I hate you; you know that?”
“No, you don´t, you love me.”
“Man, having the brightest witch of our age as best friend really is a pain in the ass sometimes. You always know when I bluff.” Hermione giggled.
“Are you joining us in the water today?” She asked suddenly.
“What?”
“You heard me; did you really think I wouldn´t notice? You kept your shirt on too. It´s your scars isn´t it?”
“They’re just so ugly.”
“They show your strength.” Harry laughed.
“Yeah, right.”
“They do.” They stayed quiet after that.
“I think the sunrise should start any minute.” She said after a while.
“I always wanted to see one over the ocean.”
“I know, you told me in third year. That’s why I came out today, I wanted to be here with you when you see it.”
“That’s nice.” Harry said and laid his arm around her shoulder, and she laid her head against his.
“How´s it is going with Severus?”
“Okay I guess.”
“Okay you guess? That doesn´t sound very convincing.”
“It´s just, the physical thing you know. I want to be close to him but…”
“You´re scared.”
“Yes, I don´t want to be but I can’t help it.”
“Did you guys do something?”
“HERMIONE!” Harry said a blush creeping on his cheeks.
“Oh, come on Harry, it´s no big deal, just tell me.”
“Fine, we… he touched me there, ones, but not without clothes. It was after I asked him some stuff and it was nice, I felt safe but just the thought of anything else is freaking me out.” Hermione nodded.
“That’s understandable, after all you´ve been through. But tell me one thing. Do you trust him?”
“Of course, I do!”
“Do you love him? Really love him?” He didn´t answer right away.
“Yes, I do.” He finally said.
“Oh Harry!” Hermione gushed. He rolled his eyes but smiled.
“Mione…”
“Harry, when you love him then there is nothing to worry about . Severus would do anything for you. I´ve seen the way he looks at you and let me tell you he treasures you. If you ask him to go slow, he will, if you tell him you´re not ready he would wait forever for you. He probably thought he would never find someone and now that he has, he will do what ever necessary to keep you.”
“But am I not selfish Mione? I´m damaged, sometimes I think beyond repair, for me to string him along…”
“Is that what you think? Harry! Severus is not the kind of guy who lets himself be strung along by anyone. He wants to be here for you, he WANTS to be WITH you. Besides he has emotional scares too. That’s why you are so good together. You can understand one another better than anyone else ever could... And you’re not damaged don´t you ever say that again, your scratched up a bit sure, but damaged? No.”
“I don´t know…”
“Okay look at it like this, you love Severus, right? You are grateful for him and his trust in you are you not? When you´re ready and only then, just think about it like a precious gift for Severus. That you want to show him how much you love him, trust him and believe in him. I promise you all you need is a little of that Gryffindor courage and I bet all I have, that as soon as you did it ones and see that there is nothing to fear it will be hard to get you out of the bedroom at all.” She smiled at him, and Harry thought about what she said. Hermione was right and he deep down he knew that there is nothing to be afraid of. And it was true, that he wanted to show Sev just how much he loved him, and so he decided in to stop being afraid.
“Thank you Mione.” He said quietly.
“Your welcome Harry, just know that whatever it is I am here when you need me to listen. I promise. I know you lost a lot; I will make sure that you won´t lose one more person you love. I swear it.”
“Then everyone who gets in your way is in serious trouble.” He said and gave her a kiss on the cheek. The two friends sat together as the sun rose for the day and in that moment, Harry felt at peace with himself and everything else.
