“I’m speaking”
Pairing: Yaoi M/M, Harem – seme Harry x uke de-aged Severus / Tom / Lucius
Last Time:
To add to their horror and confusion a person began to slowly appear standing at the foot of they bed. He was a young man, perhaps 15, with dark hair and dark eyes wearing what Petunia recognized as a Hogwarts uniform, but was green unlike her sister’s red uniform … and those eyes promised pain …
XXXXXXXXXX
“hmmm … not much strength, but it’s enough” the intense dark eyes glared menacingly at the helpless muggles as he slowly approached the head of the bed. With elegant and graceful motion he leaned closer to look the muggles over and clearly took a sadistic joy in seeing the terror in their eyes increase ten fold as he reached for their heads “oh good, you realize what I am. Don’t worry though, I only want my book” he pulled back revealing … nothing?
The muggle aunt and uncle watched as the magical person examined the air in his hand. A moment later the wizard chuckled and a book appeared in his hand. How long was that book there? Why didn’t they see it? Their thoughts were broken as the wizard’s deceptively angelic voice reached their ears …
“a ‘notice me not’ spell. This could be what Harry meant when he said people couldn’t see my book. I must thank whoever cast it, but now …” he looked down at the terrified muggles “don’t worry … I have no intention of staying long” he turned and was about to leave letting the muggles relax a little, but then he stopped and glanced over his shoulder at them “of course what condition I leave you both in will solely depend on the condition of the child in the cupboard” he smirked as they paled several shades and left the room.
This house was dull, boring and cookie cutter like. As the wizard strolled down the hall covered with pictures of the family of three he passed a child’s room. A very plump child was sleeping on the bed and the young wizard frowned. He wasn’t a completely cruel man, but something should be done there. He continued down the stairs to the kitchen and broke into a run once he spotted the cupboard under the stairs. A little magic made the padlock pop right off and he threw the door open, but went too fast ffor he made the child in the darkness squeak in fear.
“Harry? Harry it’s ok … it’s me, Tom” Tom said softly as a small figure in the dark space move.
“Tom, you got out of your book” Tom had to bite his tongue to keep from gasping as a blood soaked boy in filthy clothes too big for him and a bruise on his cheek. The boy had the most lovely green eyes, but they were sunken in from starvation.
Tom gently picked the boy up ignoring the flinch “oh Harry, what did these fools do to you?” he froze suddenly as a warm feeling spread throughout his body making a tingling sensation. Tom was stunned at feeling and he could feel Harry cuddle closer to him meaning he felt it too. The formerly book bound wizard held the child close as he reveled in the warmth. Suddenly Tom’s eyes widened as he realized what this was …
An Aura Song! He heard that a wizard’s magic reacts like it’s singing when it finds its soul mate. He was holding his future intended! It was a happy moment for the wizard, but he was more concerned about getting Harry help and the chances of the two muggles trapped upstairs living through the night dropped like a stone. A healer may come first, but the muggles won’t be going aware anytime soon so he will take his time. Maybe let them starve a little so they understand what they did to Harry.
“ok Harry … lets see where you’re hurt first before we leave” Tom said softly as he reluctantly set the by on the table. He carefully pulled the filthy shirt off and winced as he realized it was stuck to some of the open wounds on the boy’s back. The child in front of Tom was a skeleton covered in sores, bruises and gashes “dear Merlin” he gently examined each gash on the boy’s back. Some were recent, some were not, but some were inflamed and hot to the touch meaning a possible infection. As much as he wanted to torture the muggles he had to get Harry help before any infections spread or have the boy in pain for any longer than necessary.
Three gashes looked infected and the child needed food badly so Tom sighed as he cleaned some of the blood out of Harry’s hair “I’m going to take you to a healer to you all better, but first … who did this?” Tom asked as he ran his fingers over the child’s bruised cheek.
“Aunt Petunia … Tom do you see my glasses? My uncle took them before going to bed” Harry asked softly as he squinted to see.
A frown marred the wizard’s face as he looked in the cupboard and saw a mangled mess of something that was once a pair of glasses. Normally he could fix it easily with magic, but until Harry was safe he wanted to conserve his magic “I’m sorry Harry, but I’m not strong enough now to fix them. Can you hold out for a while? I know a healer can make it so you won’t need them to see” Tom smiled as the green eyes lit up in fascination and change a chair into a warm coat. He put the coat on Harry and they were about to go when the wizard’s finger brushed a scar on Harry’s forehead and felt something disturbing “that can’t be … why would I make more than one horcrux? I’m supposed to be the only one”
Harry blinked curiously “horcrux? What’s that?”
“it’s … a long story little one, but I’m taking the horcrux out of your scar. It won’t hurt” Harry nodded to give permission and saw a green ball of light come out of his scar and Tom swallowed it! Tom felt the bond between him and Harry grow, which should be a good thing, but before he could enjoy the feeling he was hit with memories in the second horcrux.
“Tom … are you ok?” Harry reached up, ignoring his pain, to brush a tear off Tom’s cheek.
“yes I’m fine … lets leave” Tom said forcing himself to smile (what have I done?)
XXXXXXXXXX
“got it” Lucius said and a small hole in the wards opened allowing Severus, Lucius, Bellatrix and Narcissa to get through undetected. Once inside they apparated to Privet Drive.
Severus sneered at the boring neighborhood “Peter nailed this one … this place has Petunia all over it”
“wonderful! Now where is our Harry? Lulu your with me we’ll take this side of the street” said Bellatrix cheerily as she dragged Lucius to one side of the street and began using their wands to scan for any magical signatures. Severus and Narcissa started scanning the homes on the other, but weren’t finding anything yet.
Narcissa felt was starting to worry. There’s a chance that Harry wasn’t here, but there is also a chance that they were too late “Severus … how vicious was Petunia?”
“don’t think like that until after we scan every house” the potion master refused to even consider that the boy may be dead until after he scans every house in these wards. Something moving in the dark down the road caught his eye “Narcissa” he whispered catching the Lady Malfoy’s attention and she looked at the shape the potion master was looking at.
It was a person coming out of a house. That person seemed to be carrying something and just by chance Severus pointed his wand at the person. The scan revealed the magical signature of two people and one was a child. Narcissa quickly ran to get Bellatrix and Lucius as Severus ran towards the figure. With one flick of a wand the potion master sent a rush of flames towards the person. The flames twisted and circled around the unknown wizard trapping them and lighting up the entire street. Lucius, Bellatrix and Narcissa raced to his side and pointed their wands at the person who stood calmly with their back to them. A whimper from a child could be heard in the person’s arms.
“Sev, Luc, Bells, Cissa … I’m surprised to see you all here” the wizard trapped in the circle of fire said shocking the wizards. Very few wizards used those nicknames. A flash of pain in Bellatrix, Lucius and Severus’s death marks made those three fall to their knees as the person turned to face them.
Narcissa’s eyes widened as she saw wizard’s face “T-Tom?” the former dark lord looked a lot younger and seemed sane, but there was no doubt on who it was. The others recovered as the pain ended and looked up to see none other than little Harry Potter watching them fearfully from Tom’s arms.
“what are you doing with Harry?” Severus glared as he felt fear for the child’s safety increase ten fold. The last time Voldemort was near Harry he tried to kill the child.
Tom chuckled half heartedly “calm down Severus, I have no intention of repeating my stupidity. I won’t hurt my intended”
“intended?” Lucius gasped as his jaw dropped. Would the dark lord lie about something like that? He and his companions were skeptical, but had no time to discuss it as someone was headed towards them.
An old woman emerged from the dark gave them a look of horror “WHAT THE BLOODY HELL?”
Harry squeaked fearfully “Ms. Figg!”
Bellatrix saw the fear in the boy’s eyes and reacted on instinct. She sent a spell at the woman stunning her instantly and Ms. Figg hit the ground out cold with her hands in her purse “what was she going for?” she said as she took the purse and saw a chap stick, little wallet with muggle notes, a bag with galleons and a set of keys “these keys are also a portkey”
“we’ll give it to Peter to look at. He could find out where it goes” said Severus as he banished the flames and leveled the dark lord with a wary look “we can’t apparate out of the wards so you will need to follow us and give Harry to me. After all if there are injuries on Harry I should tend to them once we get back”
Tom was no fool. He could hear the underlying threat. Basically Severus said ‘we don’t trust you with Harry hand him over or we won’t tell you how to leave the wards’ and it was made even more clear with the wands directed at him. The wands were outside of the child’s view so as not to scare him again, but that didn’t make things easier for Tom. He really didn’t weant to let the boy go, but he understood. After seeing what Voldemort has done he didn’t deserve their trust.
Harry’s grip tightened on Tom’s robes when Tom tried to hand him over to this new person “Tom?”
“it’s alright Harry, Severus is a healer. He will treat you and help you get better” said Tom softly, which surprised the other witches and wizards.
“ok, but what about Ms. Figg, Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon?” Harry asked clearly frightened at what his tormentors might do.
“it’s ok. I’m sure they won’t mind … Severus be careful when holding him. Harry has some very deep gashes on his back and a few are infected” Tom said as he carefully handed Harry over to the potions master.
Severus’s eyes widened slightly as he felt how light the boy was and could feel how skinny Harry was even through the coat he was wearing, but that wasn’t the only thing that caught him off guard. The feeling of a cool refreshing breeze shot through him before feeling warmth pour into him. To his surprise and suspicions he realized that his magic was singing, but why would Tom say Harry was his intended if Severus was feeling the effect? Severus was brought out of his musings as Harry cuddled into his chest. The green eyes looking up at him made him smile, which made the child smile softly too.
A relieved Narcissa lowered her wand and smiled at Harry “we’re going to take you to our home and we won’t ever take you back here so is there anything you want to take with you?”
“uncle always said that I’m just lucky they didn’t drown me when they found me on their doorstep” Bellatrix snarled being a bit less composed than the others “but they said the ditch I dug under the flowerbed will be mine soon … that it’s my tomb” Harry looked a little scared as he pointed at the raised brick. He wasn’t sure what that meant, but the way his relatives looked at him every time they joked about it terrified him. When Tom and the other witches and wizards went over to look at the flowerbed he looked over at Tom “what is a tomb?”
Lucius flicked his wand and the bricks creating the flowerbed went flying across several lawns. No cared about the several sounds of things breaking like bird bathes or ugly garden statues nor did anyone care that one brick hit Ms. Figg’s foot most likely breaking a few bones. Harry could hear a few sounds of landing bricks it was impossible for him to see what broke and he didn’t think it was wise to say anything considering the way the adults were looking at the deep rectangular ditch that was under the raised flowerbed. They were showing anything beyond indifference, but Harry felt a tenseness in the air that made him a little nervous.
Tom looked at the hole with barely controlled anger “it’s no place for children Harry” he answered softly as Severus backed away with Harry in his arms. The boy shouldn’t have to see that. A silencing spell was set up so Harry couldn’t hear the conversation that followed.
Once Harry was out of hearing Bellatrix scowled and glanced at Tom “you have a lot to explain, but first where are his relatives?”
“upstairs third door on the right and sadly still breathing, but they won’t be ale to move for a while” Tom saw the shocked looks from Lucius, Narcissa and Bellatix and shrugged carelessly “they deserved to suffer for a long time, but I couldn’t make Harry wait to get medical attention. I did make the process of draining most of their life so I could gain a body as painful as possible … I know I betrayed your loyalties, but let me explain before you hit me”
Lucius saw Severus raise an eyebrow at the conversation before looking at the dark lord “I can’t guarantee Peter won’t hit first before you get a word out” the Lord Malfoy warned.
Tom sighed “no … I deserve as much” that comment through them for a loop. The former servants of the evil and insane dark lord were finally looking at the man they originally pledged their loyalty to “the muggles have a child too”
“and what would you suggest we do with the child?” Narcissa asked testing to see if this was the reasonable man they once knew.
“obliviate him until there’s nothing left and leave him at the nearest orphanage or hospital, but take a few hairs from him” Tom said and noticed that they agreed. Lucius gave Bellatrix the key to the dungeon cells in the Malfoy Manor and the witch went into the home with Narcissa. While Bellatrix and Narcissa were gone Tom followed Lucius and Severus who had cancelled the silencing charm on Harry …

Peter saw Severus apparate into the courtyard outside the mansion with a child “thank Merlin, you found Harry” he exclaimed as Dobby let them in. Peter immediately saw that Harry was treated very badly. The poor child looked like skin and bones and he noticed Severus was holding him very carefully indicating a possible injury.
“we found more than that … you should come with me Peter” Severus said softly. The rat animagus shrugged and followed slowly so as not to strain his wounds. The boy was looking around in awe at the mansion as he was taken upstairs and set the on a bed. It was the softest bed he ever felt “Harry, this is Peter, he helped find you and he’s going to help me treat you. Can I take your coat?”
Harry nodded quietly “ok”
Severus and Peter’s eyes widened as they saw the child’s body. Harry was a skeleton … the wizards were furious, but Severus hid it for now. Now it was time to heal Harry. As Tom said there were painful looking gashes crisscrossing down the boy’s back along with a clear head injury, but Severus decided to start with the infected wounds.
Green eyes watched in fascination as Severus pulled a small bag out of his pocket and made it grow “now I’m going to put some salves on your wounds ok? Just tell me if anything hurts” said Severus pulled out a few different jars and started applying the creams. The cool salves were already soothing the boy’s back “Peter could you take a spoonful of a blood potion and give a nutrition potion to Harry? Only half of the nutrition potion”
“of course … alright Harry, a word of warning, potions are amazing, but they don’t taste very good so just swallow quickly … here, blood potion first” Peter said as he took a spoon from Dobby who decided to standby in case help was needed. A vial was taken from the potion master’s bag and a small amount was poured into the spoon.
The abused child knew better than to argue and opened his mouth. The spoon poured the contents down his throat and to Harry’s surprise it wasn’t so bad “aunt Petunia gives me things that’s worse than this” Harry mumbled very softly, but the two wizards heard him. That innocent comment made things much worse for a certain pair of muggles.
“I dread to think about what you were given … here, last one” Peter handed Harry a little cup Dobby provided with half of a vial of nutrition potion. Harry didn’t argue and consumed the liquid. He was happy to feel the pain in his back slowly go away. Now the boy was wondering what the moving blur was not knowing that he was looking at a house elf.
“how is everything in here?” asked Lucius as he entered the room. He froze at he sight of the boy’s scars and frighteningly skinny frame. If they were any later Harry may not have made it to his seventh birthday let alone to school.
“very well, it seems Harry is the first person to find potions palatable. At least compared to meals he has been given before” Severus said seemingly indifferent, but Peter could tell the Slytherins were furious.
Lucius raised an eyebrow “that so … anyway, those things are locked up and Narcissa has dropped off the blank slate so when we can finally let little Harry sleep we will be have to get some information from our … friend”
Severus hummed at the comment. That means the muggles and the Ms. Figg woman were most likely in the cells and the Dursleys’ child is some orphanage or something “good … could you hold Harry a minute Lucius? There’s glass embedded in his head wound and I need to see it better before trying to spell it out. Peter get some of the towels in my bag”
The Malfoy nodded and went over to Harry who looked nervous “it’s ok Harry. Severus is very good at this. Can I hold you?” the green eyes looked cautious, but Harry nodded and Lucius gently picked up the far too skinny child. A moment after setting Harry on his knee he felt a series of sparks shooting throughout his body and his magic began pulsing rhythmically. It was obvious that his magic was singing … Harry was his mate to be, but then …
What did Tom mean?
This was something to think about, but not now. Lucius held Harry carefully as Severus looked for each piece of glass before pointing his wand and making the glass vanish. Unfortunately the biggest piece of glass was apparently blocking a wound because a rush of blood gushed out making Peter press the towels firmly to Harry’s head to stop the bleeding. It was enough blood to make Severus give another spoonful of the blood restoring potion to Harry.
The boy didn’t flinch or express any pain and it was disturbing. Lucius, Peter and Severus knew Draco would be crying and wailing if he was going through this, but Harry has yet to even whimper. How long bad has his treatment been that he won’t even shed a tear?
“Dobby could get something light for Harry to eat?” asked Lucius.
Harry jumped as the blur responded with “Dobby will bring something light right away master” before vanishing.
Severus frowned as he noticed Harry’s startled actions “Harry could you not see Dobby this entire time?”
“no” Harry said softly, but clearly as if he was talking to authority figures. They realized Harry hasn’t asked anything or spoken out of turn unless it was to Tom.
“I see … I’ll make a potion to help your eyesight” Severus said gently as he pointed is wand at the head wound. With a simple incantation the skin began to stitch together and heal. Over the next minute Harry was stunned to be give new pajamas that were actually nice and allowed to wear them! Lucius even said he would get hi some clothes of his very own tomorrow … Harry was never treated so kindly, but though he was happy he had learned not to hope too much because everything could be taken away in a second if he did something. The boy was already considering what things he could do to thank them and earn his keep. It was tricky since these people weren’t giving him direct orders, but the Dursleys didn’t always do that either. He learned to listen and take suggestions.
Like that cake … no one straight out told Harry to make it. Petunia simply implied that Dudley should get a cake so Harry made one knowing he would be punished if he didn’t despite never being told to directly. So Harry decided to listen carefully.
When Dobby reappeared with a roll and some steamy chicken noodle soup Lucius reluctantly set Harry back on the bed. Harry almost looked confused as if he didn’t expect to be fed too, but with a little urging from Severus the child ate the first full meal he has ever had … at least as far as he could remember …
“ok now it’s time to sleep. Goodnight Harry” said Peter as he gently tucked the boy in. once they left and shut the door Harry started feeling guilty for taking up such a nice bed. He was convinced that he was making trouble for these people so he jumped down to the floor and glanced around the big bedroom. There were two chairs to make a little sitting area and a few book shelves. The closet was big but filled with nice things so Harry decided to snuggle under the rug and that’s where he fell asleep …
XXXXXXXXXX
Peter shut the child’s door and sighed “dear bloody Merlin”
“that was the most composed I’ve ever seen you Peter” said the potion master as they walked away.
“composed nothing, I think I’m in shock. Poor little Harry, I may have always been closer to you guys and not James and Sirius, but I feel terrible that Harry was going through this” Peter winced forgetting his own wounds, but then turned to his Slytherin friends “I know you both well enough to know when you’re hiding something, so what are you two hiding?” he asked as they went down the stairs.
Lucius frowned “we ran into someone and it would be best if you listened to his story before over-” they made it to the lavish living room and Peter spotted Tom … Peter wasted no time dashing forward and punching the wizard in a school uniform right in the jaw “-reacting” Lucius and Severus sighed …
