The first year was passing in what Harry could only call a blur. He spent most of his time with his friends down by the lake studying or hanging out. When not with them he was usually found with Severus trying to learn more about the man and his birth parents as well as any knowledge his father could give him. Harry adored the tales of father, James and Lily from when they were at Hogwarts. Severus enjoyed their time together maybe even more than Harry did. It was absolutely amazing to him that his son would want to bond with him even though they had refrained from mentioning it to him. He was often asked the many lengths that Severus, James and Lily went to so that no one knew their relationship. Harry seemed to really enjoy these stories as well as any that he could get about their families.
            It was during one of these times they spent together that Harry approached him with the thought of informing some of his friends.
            “I really just want to inform Draco at least. Please Father Uncle Lucius already knows and so does Aunt Cissa. He’ll be so mad if he doesn’t find out from me that we’re like family,” Harry pleaded.
            Severus sighed. He knew this would eventually happen, he had just hoped that it would have happened at a later point in time. “We’ll have to talk to your dads Harry. I can see the merits and the downside to telling Draco. If and I mean if you are allowed to tell him it would only be him and Lucius and I would have to be there to make sure he promises not to let this information slip.”
            “Thank you Thank you Thank you!! I know he won’t tell anybody. Can we ask them today please?” Harry had a massive smile on his face and was practically bouncing in his seat.
            “Yes, Yes let me call Professor McGonagall. We’ll see if she can floo them over for a short visit,” Severus replied with a smile playing across his face. Getting up he padded his way to floo Minerva in her office.
            It was less than an hour later that found Harry, Severus, Sirius, Remus, Lucius and Narcissa sitting in the Headmistress’s office discussing the matter at hand.
            “And you agree with this Lucius? You don’t think Draco might be too young for this possibility,” Narcissa questioned.
            “I don’t Cissa. I think that if everyone else is okay with it between the five of us we can express the importance of keeping the secret for a while. Draco must grow up at some point this will help him learn some responsibility,” Lucius responded evenly to his wife.
            “Lucius has a point Cissy. Plus Harry’s just going to keep bugging us until we cave at some point.”
            “I will not.” Burst from an insulted looking Harry.
            Sirius gave him a pointed look. “Oh course not. There will just be subtle hints following us until we give in and outrage if Draco gets upset at Harry or us for keeping it from him as long as we did.”
            “Fine. Fine I give in. Severus can you summon Draco please?”
            “Of course. I’ll be right back,” He spoke before he rose and exited the room.
Severus returned with Draco promptly and a new discussion began. Draco was shocked at first. He didn’t believe what his parents were telling him. However after several hours of convincing and viewing a few memories he realized the truth in what they were saying. His godfather was Harry’s biological father. In Draco’s mind they were as good as brothers. When asked if he could keep the secret his only response had been of course what kind of big brother did they think he was. Harry had launched himself at the blonde and clung to him tightly glad that his best friend considered him a brother.
Time passed quickly and the school year continued on peacefully to the unaware students. It wasn’t until the end of the year that it was found out that a piece of Voldimort’s soul was residing in the defense professor’s body. The teachers set a trap and were able to destroy the soul shard before the aurors took Quirell away.
If Harry thought school went fast then summer was like a blur to him. He spent his time split between his parent’s houses. There were of course several visits to his friend’s house. Harry always loved his time with the Weasleys and Malfoys. Everyone thought Ron’s twin older brothers were a riot much to many of the adults’ dismay and Sirius’ amusement. Between those two and the kids there was never a dull moment to be had.
Most of the pranks that were pulled were targeted at each other or Percy one of the older Weasley sons. However on occasion the adults were susceptible to Harry and his friend’s jokes usually at the fault of Sirius encouraging them in their mischief.
September first rolled around and Harry found himself boarding the train and finding an enlarged compartment again. The year began much the same as the previous with students catching up. It wouldn’t stay that way however. Harry had ben walking the halls one night when a hissing sound caught his attention. Following the sound he was stopped at the sight of Filch’s cat Mrs. Norris. Seeing words written on the wall in what appeared to be blood Harry let out a blood-curling scream, “PROFESSOR!” Taking off into a dead run towards the great hall he kept hollering out for someone.
Skidding around the corner he ran right into the stomach of his Father. “Fath-Uncle Sev! Mrs. Norris. Hung on the wall. Weird hissing. Do you hear it? Down there.”
“Harry slow down what are you going on about,” Severus crouched down in front of his son worry creasing his face.
“I was walking to the great hall,” Harry gasped for breath. “I heard this hissing it sounded like the word kill or something. I followed the voice down and then there was Mrs. Norris hanging from the wall and there were these words.”
“Okay. Let me send for Dumbledore and you show us where.” Standing Severus waved his wand producing his patronus and sending it towards the Great Hall. It only took moments and Headmaster Dumbledore was striding down the hall towards the two.
“Harry please lead the way,” Dumbledore asked extending his hand out to the youth.
It was the only encouragement Harry needed. Quickly he led the two down to where he found Filch’s cat. It took most of his effort not to grab his father’s hand in fear. He’d be making a visit to the man after this was all over. Once at the scene Headmaster Dumbledore called for nurse Pomfrey, Filch and Deputy Headmistress/Professor McGonagall. Mrs. Norris was immediately taken to the hospital wing to await treatment for petrification. Severus had whispered to Harry to wait for him back in his rooms after the boy had given his statement to the other professors.
Harry made his way down to his father’s rooms. Grabbing his pajamas he took a quick shower to clean up before curling up in the man’s big bed to await his return. Harry was asleep within the hour. The sight of his son curled up in a ball greeted Severus when he returned to from the meeting.
Harry felt himself being slowly awoken. “Mmm whass goin on?”
“I’m back from the meeting. Want to hear about it,” Severus asked sitting down on the end of the bed.
“Yes please. Father can I stay here tonight the snake voice kind of freaked me out.”
“Of course. How bout this let me go get changed and we can talk about it.”
Harry curled up into a ball again while he waited for Severus to get ready for bed. Once the man was settled he turned to face Harry.
“Harry you know the houses were based on the founders of Hogwarts. Well it was rumored that before Salazar Slytherin left Hogwarts he had made and sealed a secret chamber that only he and any heirs could get through. That was what was referenced on the wall when it said the chamber has been opened enemies of the heir beware. Are you following me so far?”
“Yes so basically there’s a secret chamber in the castle that has been opened. Why does anyone have to beware though?”
“It is said that Slytherin left a great beast in the chamber. The chamber has been opened previously. About fifty years ago or so and some beast went around the school petrifying students and one girl unfortunately died. They say her ghost is still in the castle.”
“That must be who all the girls talk about. Apparently there’s some ghost that haunts one of the girls lavatories. Anyway okay so there’s some ancient beast that’s been let loose on students and it attacked Mrs. Norris, how does that tie in with the hissing I heard?”
“Have you ever heard of a Parseltongue?”
“No.”
“It is the language of snakes. Slytherin was a parseltongue they say it was why his house was represented by snakes, and that any descendant of his house would have the possibility of inheriting the trait.”
“Do you think that’s what I heard?”
“Can you repeat what it is you heard?”
“I think so,” Harry responded before repeating what he thought he heard.
“Yes that was parseltongue. It seems you can speak and hear the language.”
“Father what does it mean,” Harry looked uncertainly up at his father.
“I am not sure, son. But I believe that the Slytherin’s beast is a serpent of some form. That should help narrow the search down. Let’s get some rest now. We’ll figure it out in the morning.”
The next day Severus went t the headmaster about the possibility of a snake roaming through the castle. It took one petrified student and one Ms. Hermione Granger to locate and terminate the basilisk serpent that resided inside the Chamber of Secrets. They had then found that the whole incident had unfortunately occurred from Draco getting his hands on an old diary of Tom Riddle now Voldimort’s that had been given to his father before the Dark Lord had fallen.
There had been several arguments between the staff, adults and board of governor’s about whether or not to punish Draco and how much. It took a week and a bottle of vertiserum for a decision to be made. They decided to give Draco an official academic warning since had had no knowledge of what the diary was capable of or the effect it’d have on Ginny when he had given it to her for the holidays. When asked why he had gifted her a random diary from his house he responded that he had no idea what to get her and two days before the holiday he remembered the diary and thought that well she’s a girl and it’s vintage that she would like it and until it possessed her she had. He never wanted any of this to happen, she was one of his best friend’s younger sisters.
Lucius was the next to be questioned on why he would have an artifact such as that still in his possession. He had answered that it had been given to him when he was unfortunately involved in the first war and had thought all the dark artifacts had been removed by the ministry when they performed their raids. He had no knowledge of what the book was or capable of since the Dark Lord didn’t discuss such things with his followers and the followers were never to question his moves. Lucius had been given a pardon since it had been the ministry’s fault for not fully collecting the dark artifacts and there would be a look through the aurors and records as well as the possibility of home searches once again.
With the school year completed, Harry took off once more towards the Hogwarts express with his friends. He spent most of the time settled next to Draco plotting their summer plans. The group managed to get the duo in on multiple games of exploding snap and gossiping and pranks. He spent the train ride in happy contentment between his family and friends.
Reaching the platform Harry grabbed his trunk and ran out of the carriage and into his dad’s arms. Waving good-bye to his friends for now they headed to the apparation point. Waving one last time the trio disappeared into the air back to the house.
Harry spent his summer doing much the same as the previous only with the added fun of playing Quidditch since according to his dad’s he was now old enough to be allowed near practice bludgers. The weeks passed quickly and they spent Harry’s thirteenth birthday on the continent checking out the museums wizard and muggle alike. Harry was happy to get out of the house and take a vacation of sorts to finally de-stress from the previous year’s insane activities.
Having returned home Harry spent the rest of the summer bouncing homes with his friends and completing his summer homework waiting for the new school to start.
