Chapter 3
Several gasps went throughout the room at the sound of that dark voice. There were a few exclamations of Harry's name as he revealed himself and stepped next to Kreature, who beamed up at his master before bustling over to the stove when he received a nod of approval from Harry. Harry noticed how many, including the headmaster, paled when the saw Harry. He vaguely notice that Remus and Snape shared a brief smug look before their faces before Remus smiled along with Mr. and Mrs. Weasley while Snape's expression went blank. Harry crossed his arms once again and raised an eyebrow at the people in the room. At least there were some people here that were glad to see him, Harry thought to himself darkly. He adapted a more neutral look to his face that these people would expect of his instead of keeping his darker expressions on his face.
"Hello everyone." Harry said in a calm tone of voice. He defiantly met his headmaster's eyes. "The only one who has any real authority over Kreature would be me, unless he asks me before doing something for you, Professor. Sorry for any confusion on that." He felt a bit of smugness at the apparently speechless old man; he made sure that the smugness he felt did not show on his face though,. After all, it wouldn't do to have these people suspect anything just yet. He wanted to keep moved of them in the dark to his real nature for as long as possible. "I'm glad I walked in time to correct that assumption, sir. Kreature tends to be a bit on the cranky side when it come to taking orders from someone besides me." He really hope they bought his good natured explanation.
"Harry dear!" Molly exclaimed happily as she came forward and enveloped him into a warm hug, which he returned gratefully. "How long have you been here, dear?" She asked kindly after she released him. She looked him over and gave him a bright smile. "It's so good to see. Happy Birthday!"
"Thank you, Mrs. Weasley." Harry replied with a genuine smile for the woman. "I haven't been here for very long," please don't contradict me, he thought silently in regards to the two Order member who knew exactly how long he really had been there before he continued speaking, "Kreature decided it was time for me to come home so he could fix me a birthday breakfast. He didn't really give me much time back at the Durselys to get dressed before he popped me into the hallway a little while ago." The lies easily rolled off from his tongue.
"That is right, Master." Kreature said brightly as he cooked. "Master has to experience his births day here at home with his Kreature. Tis a joyous day for Master to has reach the age of majority. Kreature couldn'ts wait for Master to finally come home and he tooks it upons hisself to bring Master home hisself."
"Thank you, Kreature." Harry said as he gave Kreature a fond look while Molly escorted him toward the table. He gave a mental smirk as Kreature backed up his story and added to it as well. He took a seat in the chair across from Remus and Snape. He gave both me a silent look that siad to please let him handle this in his own way and saw as they gave a barely discernable nod.
"Harry," Dumbledore started in a forced calm voice, "you really should be with your relatives still." He finished sternly.
"I'm sorry, sir." Harry replied with a lowered head that hid his eyes rolling at the old fool thinking he could guilt Harry into feeling bad. "I had no idea what Kreature was planning for me coming of age today."
"It's of no consequence, Harry." Remus stated firmly. "You're already here so there's no point in sending you back now. I'm sure that Kreature would just bring you back anyway if we even tried." One way or another, his cub was staying now that he was here. If he hd to, he would help Kreature with sneaking Harr back into his own house.
"That's right, dear. You're here now and that's all that matters." Molly added with a glare at the headmaster, as if she was daring her to contradict her. "I'm sure all of your friends will be glad to finally be able to see you, especially on your birthday!"
"Kreature woulds bring master back to his rightful home if anys of yous tried to make hims leave." Kreature stated with a dark look toward Dumbledore. It was like the elf was silently daring the old man to try it and see what would happen.
"I suppose what's done is done." Dumbledore sighed. He seemed to realize that he had been defeated in this matter. "I believe that concludes this meeting." He stated as he stood up to leave. He didn't want Remus and the Weasleys to light into him if front of his "Golden Boy" and decided he'd better go before they got the chance.
Harry just barely suppressed a smirk of triumph. He knew he had won. There would have been no point in Dumbledore sending him back to Private Drive when he was already here because Remus and the Weasleys would not stand for it and Kreature would just bring him back here anyway. Add to that that Harry is now of age and legally has owned this house since his godfather's death and Dumbledore really didn't have any means to really send him back to the Dursleys' house when it would give Harry legal leverage against the headmaster and the old man knew it. He figured the headmaster didn't want to risk seeing if Harry knew he'd have legal leverage if he was forced out of his own house by his school's headmaster.
"Well, that was pleasant," Snape said sarcastically as he watched many of the other Order members practically flee after their lead. The man rolled his eyes and made a show of starting to stand up to leave as well.
"Really, Severus," Arthur stated, "you may as well stay and have breakfast with us. Merlin knows that Albus has been running you ragged all summer so far with assignments." Arthur had a bit of a dark look to his as he said the last bit.
"Arthur is right, Severus." Molly added as she got up to help Kreature with breakfast since her brood was here too. "You look like you could use a good meal too. Both you and Harry need to eat more."
Snape's cheeks colored faintly at that comment, but seemed to hesitate between staying or leaving. He looked toward Harry and met the teen's eyes and they held each other's gaze easily at the moment. "If it is alright with the owner of the house, then perhaps I will stay?" He inquired of the birthday boy while continuing to gaze into the young man's eyes.
"Professor Snape, it would be an honor if you stayed for a while and dine with us." Harry replied. He notice with interest that there was a strange look in the older man's eyes as he retook his seat at the table. Harry wondered what that look might mean, but decided to push it aside for now.
"Very well." Snape stated softly as broke eye contact with Harry yet again since the teen had made his appearance during before making himself known to everyone who had been at the so called meeting.
Harry eyes narrowed again as Snape was once again the first to break eye contact. Harry refrained from frowning or scowling as the older mann kept being the one to brake eye contact when usually Snape didn't break eye contact with hardly anyone, especially not Harry. Harry turned his attention to Remus and tilted his head is question. Remus just shrugged to show that he had noticed it as well, but didn't know the cause of it. That was very odd, but Harry resolved to try to figure it out later on. His mind began to wander as he turned his head to regard his potions professor once more. He vaguely noticed that the three men at the table with him buried their noses into this morning's Daily Prophet. As Harry's mind wandered, it took him back to one of the last nights of the previous term before the summer break. He allowed his mind to go back to that night with a slight smile as he took a snip of tea that Kreature had placed in front of him moments before. That had been a very interesting night, that's for sure. Maybe that night was part of the reason for the way that Snape had been acting so far this morning. And with that, Harry's mind become lost in the memories from a night that wasn't quite so long ago.
Quick Note: Yeah, shorter than the last two in content, but that's because the next chapter is a memory/flashback that gives the foundation of the story's summery. That is, if I leave the next chapter as a huge chapter instead of breaking the memory/flashback into smaller chapter. Which would you guys prefer, the whole memory in one big chapter or break the memory up into smaller chapters? Please review and let me know what you guys think. :) This is the same choice I gave everyone on ff.net.
