Chapter 42
The day had been long, and even the nap Harry had earlier at the instance of the annoying blond wasn’t even helping. The problem was; Tom had called the meeting so everyone could be informed what was going to happen over the winter holidays. He had even went so far as whining, trying to get out of the meeting but it didn’t help; so he was sitting with his arms crossed glaring at each new Elf that entered the room. Even Hermione received the same glare since she seemed to be overloaded with energy bouncing in her seat.
Tom entered the room last, taking his seat at the head of the table laying out the notes he wanted to cover. Sending him a special glare hissing his displeasure for having to do this, “This is ridiculous; it could have waited till the morning…”
Tom hissed back, “No some things cannot wait…”
So he sulked as Tom started the meeting, while Draco grabbed his hand and his grandmother rubbed circles on his back.
Tom spoke his eyes always moving from one Elf to another, although every time, his gaze would stay longer on Hermione, “It would seem that we have found some answers to the increase in Draco’s power, now not everything is fact; Bellatrix still has some tests she wants to conduct to confirm their suspicions. Rabastion why don’t you explain what you found?”
Rabastion stood up while Tom sat back down. But instead of looking at the room, Rabastion trained his eyes on Draco and Harry; at least the insane look he had witnessed was gone out of Rabastion’s eyes. “I was able to find passages that mentioned an increase to a young dominant’s power, an increase in strength, unexplained physical growth, tremendous raise in magical ability far succeeding that what they would have even after their coming of age. Draco has shown signs of all of these but not all the signs of what we believed have happened.” Rabastion looked Draco in the eyes before continuing, “Do have an uncontrollable urge to protect your mate? Far exceeding that of what is normal for a Dominant to feel?”
Draco looked back and didn’t even flinch, “I don’t know what is normal for me to feel, but it feels like nails are being driven into my head, the word ‘protect’ beats in time with my heart.”
Rabastion nodded his head placing that information away to be sorted later, speaking again. “It took so long for me to find any reference to this was because it is very rare for it to happen. Usually the submissive mate’s in our world are protected, loved, cherished, even as children. The one case I found happened nearly a hundred years ago, A daughter was mistreated, when her Dominant mate found her in this state, he exploded. It mentioned an increase in magic, strength and physical growth; which happened from the insane urge to protect their mate from being mistreated in that way.”
Harry was caught up in the story; Rabastion had a way telling a story to bring them to life so naturally he wanted to know more. “Who were the mates?”
Rabastion looked sad even with a gentle smile, “I couldn’t find their names or any mention of what family it was. With the known facts of Harry’s mistreatment at the hands of his family, it explains what is happening to Draco, which Bellatrix can test for tomorrow using your last year’s evaluation to see how much you have grown and in what areas.”
Draco looked contemplative, before asking, “If this is what is going on, when will it stop?”
Rabastion answered, “The passage did mention that once all threats were removed then the Dominants’ urge to protect stopped but the strength they had gained stayed.”
Draco actually smiled, the smile stretched far too wide and the hint of teeth showing that; Harry could tell that the thought of gaining even more strength appealed to his mate. “So once Dumbledore is gone, then most of the extra protectiveness I feel will also be gone?”
Rabastion smiled and nodded his head, “So that means we will see you bright and early for the tests correct?”
Draco nodded his head agreeing to the tests; this explained the extra protectiveness his mate displayed, but it didn’t explain why Draco would always shy away from him.
Tom stood up after Rabastion finished, “Lucius made a great point of having Harry redo the Ancestry test, along with a couple of other people that are connected to his family line to see if we can make sense of what we found with the first test.” Tom didn’t look to happy when he focused on Hermione, “I hope you brought the needed materials?”
Hermione started rummaging through her bag bringing out the five bottles of potions, parchment, jar of Murtlap Essence, timer, and the blood quill she made. “Of course I have it all ready… Who are doing the tests?”
Tom raised his eyebrow, and started ticking names off from his fingers, “Harry, Draco, Aubrey, Severus, and of course myself. It should be able to give us a bigger picture.”
Hermione nodded her head and started to go around placing a potion, parchment, and timer in front of each person. “It is an easy test; first you drink the potion, wait ten minutes then write your full name on the parchment using the blood quill. The blood quill will hurt, but I have something that I can use that will take care of the pain and any potential scarring. Since I only have the one blood quill we can time everyone to take them one minute apart.”
Lucius rose placing his hands on the table to gain everyone’s attention. “I have several blood quills we could use from my personal collection.”
Tom spoke up, “I don’t think that would be wise, to keep the same results everyone should use the same blood quill.” Tom smirked, “It would be very hard to heal cuts that appeared on the liver or heart, which is where yours draw their blood if I am not mistaken.”
The room snickered while Hermione paled at Tom’s words. The test went smoothly for everyone, each taking their potion one minute apart so they had the one minute to write their name and pass the blood quill to the next person. In all the whole process took fifteen minutes. Each parchment with the different family trees was spread on the table.
Harry’s still looked the same, only difference was the light grey line that connected to Draco had darkened. Draco’s was the same shade of grey that was connected to his name. Nothing else had changed to his family tree though.
The one with Severus’s name was different though, he had the severed grey line connecting to Harry’s mother; a connection that would never be formed. What was different was his had a second grey line, so faint no one could read the name; it looked more like a shadow than anything concrete.
Tom’s as well looked a little different it showed the gap in the grey line between his and Aubrey’s name, closing. Neither Draco’s, Severus’s, nor Tom’s could say anything in regards to seeing the name of Dumbledore on Harry’s family tree, but they did show that the bond between mates went both ways. Even in Severus’s case it was a possibility that he had a second mate.
His grandmothers was different, it told more as she was closest to the source of confusion. It showed her parents and also showed who their immediate family was. On her Family tree it clearly stated Albus and Alberforth Dumbledore being her uncle’s. Which meant that Arianna, Aubrey’s mother was their sister.
Everyone in the room stopped and stared at what Aubrey’s family tree told. Tom cleared his throat gaining the attention of the room. “Remus, and Sirius have you found anything on the Dumbledore family yet?”
Remus was the one to speak up because it looked like Sirius couldn’t talk yet, “I found plenty on the family from 1899, all of which explains all the good an Albus Dumbledore has done for the Wizarding World. Anything before 1899, nothing, not even a mention of any Dumbledore’s from before 1899. Either all history was wiped of them or they hadn’t existed before that time.”
“Tom started pacing, he snapped out the next question, “What about the other brother, Alberforth? Do you know where he is?” Tom was looking at Remus in hopes that he could tell him where this brother is. Remus shook his head no, when a small cough had Tom turning around glaring at Hermione.
“I know where Alberforth his, he runs the Hogs Head Inn in Hogsmeade.”
Tom gave the witch a chilling smile to the room, “Lucius is there room for one more guest in the Manor, I would hate to see family not being together over the holidays.”
