AN: Alright, it was brought to my attention of an oversight in this chapter. So I went and fixed it. I thank MJD for letting me know, I don't really know how I let that get past me. And thank all of you for your lovely reviews, keep them coming. I'm working on the next chapter and I hope to get it up by Sunday. Questions will be answered in due time.

Chapter 4:

James woke feeling content. He looked down at the face of his lover snuggled in his arms. Rick was still fast asleep so James was able to study him.

There were wrinkles around Rick's eyes, which added to his handsomeness. Time seemed to have been good to the man. His skin was lovely tanned from spending so much time out in the sun. Rick was muscular when he was a teen but now they were fuller and well toned. He wasn't as tall as James or as thickly built, but he was close.

How how he missed the man! James was so heartbroken when he found out the Rick had left, especially with out giving any reason or saying good by. He remembered it clearly.

They were second month back at school for sixth year, Rick was in fifth. He got a letter back from his parents with the object he

requested, and his parents full blessing. He got Sirius and Remus to help him set everything up. It was going to be so romantic. But it never happened. Rick never showed at their secret spot just in side the forest by the lake.

The next day after he search the castle by the marauders map and searching Hogsmead. When he couldn't find him he went to Dumbledore. That's when Dumbledore informed him that Rick had left. James asked if he gave a reason why. Dumbledore said no, and James left his office in a rage.

He met Remus and Sirius at the room of requirement to burn off his rage. They dueled for hours only stopping when both his friends knocked him out.

After that he went out of his way to cause shit with the Slytherins. There wasn't a day that went by without him getting a detention. He had everyone worried especially Sirius as he had out detention him.

By the end of sixth year he had calmed down with the help from surprisingly Lily Evans of all people. She helped his get over his

heartbreak. They grew close and in seventh year he asked her out and she said yes. Everything after that was history. Eventually James, after the birth of Harry finally forgave Rick.

"Are you finished staring at him?" A voice sounded for the chair behind him. He turned quickly as saw the young man that had arrived with Rick. He was sitting in the chair, one leg thrown over an arm staring at him intently.

James was grateful for the blanket covering them.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" James narrowed his eye at the younger man, he couldn't have be any older then his son.

"The name is Kabel, and I'm here to warn you to never hurt him again, for if you do I will kill you until you're dead. That's worse." the boy gave a nasty smile.

"Been there done that," James stated deadpan. The boy's smile grew.

"Ah but you got I quick death before. This time I will first chop off your balls, shove them down your throat before I skin you alive. Then I will poor a mixture of hydrochloric acid and lemon juice all over you. Then after that I will cover you in honey and throw you into a bees nest. You will be conscious throughout all of this. Then I will toss you into a wood-chipper feet first and you'll still be alive when your head gets mangled."

James shuddered at the boy's description. "you are very morbid." he stated.

"Only where my dad is involved," With that revelation the boy got up and left.

James stared wide eye at the door he just left through.

"Don't pay much attention to him. He can be quite harmless." James looked down and saw Rick giving him a sleepy look.

"You have a son,"

Rick sighed and sat up.

"And so do you, what's the deal?"

James shrugged. "They will need to get along if we plan on seeing each other,"

Rick ran a hand over his face. "I don't know, I don't know if this will work. We have too much history!"

Ron just stared at his best friend. “You’re telling me that you have an older half brother,” Harry nodded, “He’s our roommate, and James is his father?”

Harry gave another nod. “Yup!”

“Dude this sounds like one of mom’s soaps she watches.” Ron shook his head.

“Tell me about if!” Harry flopped back onto his bed.

“So what are you guys going to do? Who else knows?”

“No one else know, and Kabel wants it to be like that until Rick tells dad,” Harry ran a hand through his hair looking up at the dingy ceiling. “Today we’re going to go to London. We’re going to get to know each other more.” Harry turned his head and flashed Ron a grin.

At that moment Kabel walked into the room and grinned. "Ready, Harry? I was hoping to leave in a few."

Harry Nodded and grinned back. Kabel's grin became toothier and with a snotty British accent, he joked: "Just let me get to the Loo first, and we'll be right on our way for a spot of tea."

Harry and Ron chirped and watched Kabel go into the bathroom.

Kabel appeared a moment later wearing only a pair of black boxers, with writing that says, "save a horse, ride a cowboy" and began to rummage through his duffle bag looking for his clothing. Once he acquired his clothing he walked back into the bathroom and shut the door behind him.

Ron turned to harry with a worried look on his face.

"Blimey Harry, I'm worried. No offense, but your brother's arse is one I could see shagging.... and I'm not into Blokes!"

Harry's jaw dropped and he stared at Ron, who turned a fushia shade of red. As Harry tried to gain his voice, Kabel returned to the room fully clothed and glanced at Harry while walking towards the door. "All ready, Harry? Let's go."

Harry nodded and got up, still glancing back at Ron who was reddening even further. "We'll talk about this later, Ron." With that, he followed Kabel from the room.

As Ginny reached for another book, she felt a sense of someone watching her. She glanced around, but couldn't see anyone so she shrugged her shoulders and pulled down a heavy tomb from the far corner of the cabinet. She sneezed as a layer of dust hit her nose.

Rubbing off the dust with her sleeve, she checked the title. 'Potions for all worthwhile endeavors by Berstol G. Frinter'. Cracking the spine, she unlatched the red ribbon and opened it up.

"You shouldn't be looking at those." Ginny jumped as she looked around wildly, spotting Hermione hiding in the corner.

"Its not like Sirius used any real protective spells to keep me from seeing them, so I don't see any harm." Ginny winced as her voice rose in a defensive tone.

Hermione gave her friend a look before walking over to take a look at the title of the book.

"He's a ponce- that one. Don't take anything he writes in this book seriously."

"I read in Medical Maladies that his potions have a 60% fail rate, with an additional 30% chance of injury.” Hermione stated.

“Well its not like you've come up with a plan, have you?" Ginny sneered. 'He could be our best option!" She began to flip through the book. "How to concretely divine your past, present and future. We should try that one later, Herms." She flipped a few pages. "'Potion to take the wild beast'... Maybe Sirius can use that on Remus!"

Hermione glanced at it. "Yes, but you have to administer it to the human while in Beast form. What beast is going to let you get that close without taking one of your limbs off?

Ginny ignored her. She flipped to another page.

She stopped as she spotted a promising header.

"To fuel your hearts burning desire and control it,"

Hermione leaned over to read the passage. "This simple potion will allow those stubborn loves to finally come to their senses and see what is truly in front of them."

Hermione then looked over the ingredients list and the instructions for the potion. "Well it doesn't look to hard," She took the book from Ginny's hand and read it over more throughly. "We will have to get some of these ingredients from Knockturn alley. But we have the rest here,"

Ginny jumped and clapped her hands gleefully. "Harry will definitely realize that he loves me... and that stupid Kabel will see that Harry is MINE!"

Hermione shook her head and looked at her friend. "Are you really sure you want to do this? If this doesn't work, we might have a catastrophe on our hands."

Ginny snarled at her friend and snatched the book back. "Fine! If you were my friend, you'd help me get the love of my life. But I see it now. You're actually in love with Harry and you can't stand that he loves me!"

Hermione sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose. "I am NOT interested in Harry. I just don't know if this is the right course of action."

Ginny raised her chin defiantly. "You're either in this with me or not, Hermione. As my friend, I hope you would help."

Hermione sighed again and shrugged her shoulders. "Alright, let's make the list of things we still need to get."

Harry stumbled out of the floo network into his brother, who steadies him.

“Easy there Harry, we're in public no, what will people think," Kabel gave him a cocky grin before he looked around the pub that they had flooed into. It was called the leaky Cauldron. There was nothing leaky or cauldron like about it. Geesh these english wizards name things weirdly.

Harry smiled. "I'm going to have to get used to that."

"To what?"

"Your sense of humour. Its different from folks around here."

"What?”

“Its easier. You say what you want and make fun of EVERYTHING! IF its said with a smile, it don't mean anything."

Harry grinned. With a nod to Tom the Barkeep, they exited the pub onto the streets of Diagonally.

"What shall we do today?" Kabel asked taking in all the shops around him. It was quite different from back home. There wasn't any large hidden communities. Everything was blended into the muggle society.

"Well, what are you interested? Do you like quidditch?" Harry asked.

"Who doesn't like watching men's tight butts squeeze a broom stick," Kabel wiggled his eyebrows and laughed at HArry's brightened face.

"But seriously, yeah, its a pretty cool sport to watch. I only played a little in school, wasn't much of a player so I dropped it to focus more on my studies."

Harry took a deep gulp of air and wished for his face to behave. "Great, we can go over to Quality Quidditch Supplies."

Kabel grinned. "Lead on, oh fearless leader."

They entered Quality Quidditch Supplies only to discover that it was full of wizards and witches gawking at the latest broom model - "The Sonic".

"Named after a muggle idea" the shopkeeper was saying to the crowd. "It provides the most speed you could possibly need to chase those snitches!"

HArry and Kabel looked at each other. "Yeah, but how is it on turns and dives?" Harry called from the back. The shop keep glanced an excited look at him and began to answer to the rest of the crowd before he paused mid word to glance back at Harry, who grinned.

"Are you ready?" Harry asked Kabel quietly.

"Ready for what?" asked Kabel, mildly confused.

"In 3...2....-"

"HARRY POTTER! THE BOY WHO LIVED!"

"That," said Harry, grinning.

All eyes in the crowd turned to look at Harry and as Harry casually turned towards the door and said "you might want to run..."

Within seconds, the crowd began yelling "HARRY POTTER! AUTOGRAPHS!" and as the boys ran out of the shop, the crowd followed.

Kabel shot his brother an amused look. "This is something crazy!" The two ducked into the Magical Menagerie.

They hide behind a wall of caged animals waiting for the excited mob to rush by.

Harry smirked as the last of his raving fans went by the window. He turned back around to his brother.

“Well that was entertain-" He cut himself off. His brother wasn't behind him. Startled he looked around and noticed Kabel standing in front of a large cage at the back of the store. It was half hidden in the shadows.

Harry approached and tried to peek over his taller brother's shoulder. Alas he was still too short, so he step to the side and stood beside him. He looked down and gasped. There within the cage was a very tiny injured panther cub, hiding behind its water dish.

“What the hell?"

Kabel crouched down and opened the latch on the front side of the cage. He back up a few steps and yanked Harry down to his height.

"Come on little buddy, we won't hurt you,"

The cub poked its head out, though it kept its body hidden, he stared at Kabel and Harry.

Harry felt a wave of magic rush over him, like it was judging him.

It seemed that the cub was magical, as it deemed both Kabel and Harry to be none threatening and slowly approached them. The cub began to sniff at them before rubbing its face against Harry’s arm.

Kabel grinned, "I guess the little guy has adopted you," He watched as his brother carefully picked up the injured cub and snuggled it.

“Let me see its injuries.” Kabel pulled out his wand and waved it over the cub a diagnostics spell forming. The injuries weren’t as bad as they looked. They were healing. “He’s not as bad off as I thought,"

Kabel went into his back pocket and took out his shrunken potions pouch. He always carried it around just in case. Well he didn't so much carry it; it was charmed to appear in a pocket upon his person, and it he didn't have any pockets it would make one. It was a gift from his dad's best friend who happened to be one of the world's best potion's master.

It un-shrunk once he pulled it from his pocket and he began to rummage through it. Finally he found the potion he needed. It was a small vile with icey blue liquid inside. He pulled the cork and help the vile over the cub.

“You're going to need to have a good hold on him. This will hurt him, but only for a moment. This will clean and finish healing the rest of those injuries.” Kabel looked into Harry’s eyes.

Harry gave a nod, and tighten his hold. Kabel took a breath before pouring the contents onto the cub with one hand and ran his other over the injuries muttering.

Once the potion touched the injuries it made a hissing sound and began to glow with wispy vapors rising from the now closing wounds and swellings. The cub whimpered in Harry’s arms but did not struggled to get away.

“Shhhh little one,” Harry tired to sooth the cub.

He looked from the cub to his brother. He was startled to see his brother's eyes glowing the same colour as the potion.

Soon Kabel was done. The vapors disappeared taking the swellings and wounds with it. He ran his hand over the cub and hummed in satisfaction when everything was all healed.

He looked up at his brother with a grin. However it faltered when he noticed Harry giving him a weird look.

“What is it?”

“What the hell was with the eye glowing thing?” Harry asked, he ran his hand along the top of the cub’’s head, it began to purr.

Kabel sighed and packed away his things.

“Its part of my magic. Everyone’s is unique and mine just happens to change my eyes when I’m healing.” Kabel explained standing up. Harry followed.

“Oh,” Harry blinked rather dumbly.

“How about we just go get everything we need of this guy and then continue on with our shopping? I need to head to the robe shop.” Kabel gave a small grin.

“Lets go get everything for this little one and then go to the robe shop. I need a new ceremonial cloak.”

Harry nodded. Twenty minutes and thirty galleons Kabel and Harry left the store with the supplies for the panther cub shrunken in their pocket and Harry cuddling and cooing at his new pet.

Just as they were walking into Madam Malkin’s Robes for All Occasions, Kabel looked out the window and noticed what appeared to be Harry’s two friends, Ginny and Hermione, sneaking out from the entrance of Knockturn Alley.

‘What are those two doing down their?’ Kabel thought to himself as the owner of the robe shop came out from behind the counter to help them.

"And one eye of newt, three clockwise turns and sit for 3 minutes." Hermione and glanced at the remaining steps.

Ginny followed Hermione's instructions and watch as the potion turn from a murky brown to a firey red.

"Once the potion cools add a table spoon to any drink." Hermione read off from the bottom of the page.

Ginny nearly bounced as she extinguished the flame and bounded over to the table for a vial. '"Oh I'm so happy. Finally Harry will be mine, and we will get married and have the family that him and I both want... and we'll-"

"What if it doesn't work, Gin?" Hermione interrupted.

"Pshaw. Of course it'll work. It says so right here that it will give me my true love."

"No, it says that it will show what is right in front of you.... What if it means showing him how we tricked him into this? OR what if it doesn't show you as his heart's desire?”

Ginny turned red with Anger. "NOW YOU LISTEN! I AM Harry's true love, I WILL marry him, and YOU can eat your little heart out all you like! You had your chance with him, and now he's mine. He just gets all muddied up in his head from the war, and he's got a good heart, so he worries about everything. Just you wait. He'll remember I am his true love after all."

Hermione sighed and shook her head. There clearly was no reasoning with Ginny. "Fine. But I don't want to be there when you give it to him. And don't tell him I was a part of it all if he ever finds out. Remember- just one tablespoon." That said, she exited the dusty storage room.

Ginny smiled evilly as she held a corked vial in her hands and held it up to the dim light. "Mine."

Harry laughed as he stepped out of the floo, with more grace then he use to. KAbel and him had a entertaining afternoon getting to know each other and Harry's new familiar. Whom he has named Gunju, African meaning wildcat.

Kabel had met the Weasley twins when they had stopped by their shop. Harry couldn't stop his blushing at the new ideas and suggestions that Kabel gave the twins for their more adult variety of products.

After even more teasing about the insinuations between Harry and Kabel, the boys found themselves at Flourish and Blotts to find the latest copy of Quidditch Weekly, followed by a quick bite at the Leaky Cauldron, and finally home to Grimmauld Place.

As Gunjo shook himself to dispel the dust, the two brothers helped each other dust off and chatted amicably about their day.

"Wait til I tell Dad about our day. Did you see George's face when I mentioned the 'warming Pulse candy?!' Priceless!!" Kabel's face lit up.

"Yeah, and when Fred decided he to use an exploding green snap card on that kid who kept filching the exploding gum?! I only see Fred that excited when he's pulling a prank." Harry laughed.

The boys exited the library and began down the hall towards the kitchen. As they turned the corner, Ginny popped out of the kitchen and sauntered towards them in what she hoped was an attractive manner. She failed to notice Gunjo skulking in the shadows. "There you boys are! Mom's been ragging on and on about you two missing dinner. She sent this up for you, Harry-”

“Professor Snape says it will stop the dreams," she lied smoothly. She held out a goblet of bright red liquid.

Harry stared at her for a moment. 'why would Snape be helping him?' but held out his hand. Thats when Gunju leaped from the shadows and knocked the goblet out of Ginny's hand.

The liquid sprayed onto the tapestry nearest them, unfortunately awakening Mrs Black who screamed as her tapestry began to smoke and suddenly burst into flames.

Harry and Kabel yelled as the curtains were quickly eaten away by the flames which spread quickly up the walls.

"Harry alert everyone!"Kabel ordered as he took out his wand to try and control the flames.

Ginny stayed frozen in one spot, starring in horror at the chilling screams of Mrs. Black as her painting was destroyed by the fire.

Harry ran yelling 'fire' trying to find his dad, best friend Sirius and Remus.

James hearing a commotion from inside the library stepped out in only his jeans looking up and down the hall way. Suddenly he saw Harry hurling himself around the corner and black smoke following.

"DAD!" Harry called out when he spotted him. "Dad there is a fire! We need to get everyone out!"

Rick came running out of the library at the news of a fire. He took one look at Harry's panicked face and instantly worried for his son, who was not with Harry.

"Harry were is Kabel?" Rick asked.

"He's trying to douse the flames. We need to hurry to get everyone out."

"Prong!" "Harry" four separate voices yelled from the opposite side of the hall way. The three turned to see Remus, Sirius Ron and Hermione rushing to meet them. Hermione had Crookshanks in her arms.

"The house is on fire, theres no stopping the flames kreacher has tried." Sirius informed them.

There was an explosion behind them. The way that Harry had came from was now engulfed in flames.

"Come on lets go,"

The four adults ushered the teens from the second floor, down the stairs and out the back door. They went around the house, watching it go up in flames. They came around to the front and saw kreacher was standing their bawling with soot covered Mrs. and Mr. Weasley hugging Ginny, and Kabel, holding an arm.

“Kabel!” Rick rushed at his son and pulled him into a tight hug. As the Weasleys hugged Ron nearly to death.

“Ouch! Dad careful.” Kabel hissed out.

Rick pulled back and noticed several burn marks all over his arms and chest, there was one on his cheek as well. Rick quickly banished his wand and started casting healing spells.

Harry was worried for his brother. But where was Gunju.

“Gunju!” Harry called out and he felt a nudge against his leg. He looked down to see Gunju butting his head against Harry’s leg, untouched except for his previous injuries.

Sudden;y Harry was pulled into a hug. He looked up to see Kabel. Harry hugged him back. “I’m glad you’re safe little bro,” Kabel softly spoke near his head. Harry gave a nod, glade that his brother was alright.

“How did this happen?” Sirius asked watching his childhood home crumble into itself. The fire slowly going out when the house was complete burnt to the ground.

Gunju hissed.

Everyone looked and noticed the panther cub at Harry’s feet.

“Did you get a familiar?” James looked taken back.

Harry rubbed the back of his neck a bit sheepishly. This was not how he wanted his dad to find out.

“Yeah, Kabel and I found his in the Magical Menagerie.” Harry explain.

“So how did this happen?” Mrs. Weasley asked.

Ginny was looking at the ground when she saw Hermione giving her a pointed look.

“Harry and I came back from Diagon Alley and we met Ginny in the entrance way. She had a potion for Harry from Professor Snape,” Kabel frown as he thought back only twenty minutes ago.

“Snape wasn’t here,” Ron frown.

The adults turned to Ginny.

“Ginny!?” Mrs. Weasley’s tone was sharp and sounded deadly. Kabel was glade that it wasn’t aimed at him.

Ginny was refusing to meet anyone, keeping her gaze glued to the ground.

“What was the potion you were about to give me?” Harry asked, he was starting to get angry.

Ginny refuse to answer.

“The burning desire potion from one of the books in the Black library,” Hermione spoke up. The angered stared shifted to her.

“You knew about it and didn’t stop her?” Ron growled at his friend as Sirius, James, Mr and Mrs. Weasley started to chew out Ginny.

“How could you do such a thing?”

“Do you know how dangerous the potion is?”

“What were you thinking?”

“You could have killed Harry!”

Ginny snapped. “I would have never hurt Harry. That potion was to make him realize that he loves me and that we are meant to be together.”

Harry blinked.

“You are a complete obsessed tramp!” Harry spat out silencing everyone.

Kabel and Remus looked on.

Harry marched over to who he thought was a friend. He grabbed her shoulders and shook her, yelling in her face.

“What the hell were you thinking?! I could have been killed! Not only that, even if the potion was actually suppose to do as it said it would. I would still not return your feelings. I like guys not girls! You need to get over yourself!” Harry pushed her away discussed.

Kabel walked over and guided Harry to where he was standing with Remus, rubbing his distraught brother’s back.

Sirius left to go call the Aurors.

James walked over to the Weasleys who were now staring at Ginny as if she lost her mind. Which without doubt was most likely the case.

“I’m sorry Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, but I’m afraid because of young Miss Weasley’s actions, and nearly causing my only son harm, and destroying Lord Black’s property, I’m going to have to press charges.” James stated gravely.

Ginny paled at that.

Mrs. Weasley placed her face in her hands and gave a small sob. Mr Weasley nodded gravel. “That is expected Lord Potter. Hopefully this does not effect our relationship or the relation ship our two sons have.”

“Hopefully,” James turned and walked over to his son.

Ron was torn between yelling at Hermione, his sister, comforting his parents or comforting his best friend. Remus placed his hand on the torn boy’s shoulder. Ron looked up into the more reserved marauder's concerned face.

“We’ll wait,” That was all Remus said as there were several pops. The Aurors had arrived.

“Miss Weasley, Miss Granger you are both under arrest for the possession and use of a dark illegal potion and to use it with the intent of being harmful.” One of the five aurors stated as the other apprehended the two girl.

“What you’ve got this wrong! I did no such thing!” Hermione argued as magical cuffs appeared on her wrists, binding her magic.

“I did no such thing.” Ginny yelled out. “Harry tell them they’ve got it wrong. Tell them we’re soul mates! I was just bringing us closer!”

Mrs Weasley sobbed into her husbands embrace.

Harry could not watch any longer and buried his face in his brother’s chest.

“Harry what are you doing? You filthy Yankee get your dirty perverted fiancée stealing hands hands of my future husband!” Ginny screamed before she was portkeyed to the ministry, or St Mungo’s to be processed.

Hermione went along more quietly.

The Weasley’s followed soon after, leaving Ron with Remus. Sirius went with them. JAmes was going to follow as soon as he talked a few things over with Harry.

“Harry?!” Ron asked timidly. Harry looked up teary eyes. He rushed at Ron and hugged him.

“This will not affect our friendship,” Harry said through his tears.

“Harry,” James place a hand on his son’s shoulder.

“Dad, don’t let them be to harsh on Hermione, and the Weasley’s don’t deserve this. They’ve taken really good care of me, since I’ve entered the magical world.”

James pulled Harry into a hug. “I know son. But something needs to be done about that girl.”

“What will we do now? Where will we live. The Potter Manor is still under construction?” Harry asked, pulling back a little from his dad’s hug.

Kabel looked over to his dad. Rick sighed and gave a small nod.

“Well you guys can come live with us for the rest of the summer, or until the manor is done and Harry goes back to school,” Kabel offered.
