Authors Note~Sorry everyone for not posting for the past week, I had out of state company over and it made writing very difficult. I don’t think this chapter is the greatest and it is short this time too, but I promise I will have more tomorrow and there will be regular updates again. Thank you to everyone who has reviewed and also who are reading.

Disclaimer~ The Prologue has the full disclaimer. Also any readers that are lost, read the Authors Note at the beginning of the Prologue; it will help make things clear.

Chapter 43

It was early in the morning, or late depending on the perspective Draco wanted to take. Considering he had yet to be able to sleep; walking the halls of the Manor, so for him it was very late. What he had been told made sense it explained why he felt the way he did, and the constant urge to protect Harry. He knew he was getting older without being told it was happening, he now towered over everyone in the school including the seventh years, and his clothes had a daily resizing charm on them so they could fit. That didn’t include his shoulders broadening, and his muscle mass increasing, or his voice deepening. His instincts were running in different directions, one side wanting to be with his mate, the other side telling him to protect his mate even from himself.

It was this conflict that was making it hard for him to sleep now, even though Harry was safe for the moment. Even Harry was starting to notice something off. After Halloween all Draco wanted to do was be with his mate, too kiss, hold, love, maybe even go further; now a peck on the lips would have him shying away. It was the instinct telling him that he was now too old to be intimate with his mate. It always happened when the Dominant was older than their mate, they would stay on the sidelines, watch, and protect; till they were of age. It wasn’t supposed to be this way, but he would have to live with it for the next year and half till Harry turned seventeen; hopefully his mate would understand.

Draco walked into his father’s office, earlier than he should have, but he needed to talk before his appointment with his aunt. Actually he was going to cancel the appointment, what was the point of having tests when he already knew the answers. What he needed was encouragement to be able to get through the following months, and from the look on his father’s face, he was expecting his son to be early. His father was sitting behind his desk one glass of fire whiskey in his hand and another already sitting in front of an empty chair.

He walked over to the empty chair, sitting down, crossing his arms, before speaking. “I would think it is a little early to be drinking?”

His father looked at the drink in his hands before talking another sip, smirking at his son, “That depends on whether you went to bed yet.”

He chuckled at the same thoughts that went through his head, picking up his own glass of fire whiskey and taking a sip. His father starting speaking before Draco finished his drink. “I see it is late for you as well.”

Sitting his glass down, “Indeed.” He looked at the scattered books, and sheets of parchment that littered his father’s desk, waving his hand asking, “What is all this?”

His father gave him a calculating look, “After hearing what Bellatrix said, I did my own research.” He took a deep breath before continuing, “It seems she is correct you are displaying every sign that you are to receive your full inheritance before you are seventeen. What we need to figure out is when you will reach it.”

Draco quirked his eyebrow, “So is that the true meaning of the tests?”

Lucius got up and walked around the table putting his hand on his son’s shoulder, “Yes, don’t worry I am planning on being there as well.”

Standing with his father, following him from the room; he could ask the other questions later. It looked like this was one test he would not be able to get out of.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Severus was very close to completing the age acceleration potion; truthfully if it wasn’t for Ms. Granger he wouldn’t have gotten this far. It was her theory of controlling the amount of the dosage for a specific time that was working. The witch was even able to figure out that it was one drop for one day of accelerated growth. The problem now was that in every rat they tried it on, if they aged too many days the body would give out and die.

“A month at a time is still too much of a shock for the body to take…”

The witch’s voice broke his concentration, but something she said sparked a memory that was just out of reach, “Ms. Granger repeat what you just said?”

Ms. Granger looked up from counting out more drops, “A month at a time is still too much of a shock for the body to take?”

Giving a rare smile, “That’s it, when a body goes through shock the best cure for it is rest.” Then mumbled, “I wonder how long of a rest period is needed in-between doses?” Speaking in a stronger voice, “Ms. Granger could you keep testing the rats, and find the absolute longest time a rat can age and still be completely safe.”

Ms. Granger was shaking her head yes then asked, “Should I continue going from one month down?”

He smiled, “No go from one day of acceleration up. When a rat dies from shock, drop it down a day then test it five more times. Use a different rate each time.”

Excitement had the witch bouncing from place to place as she gathered the needed materials, measuring out each dosage “That’s been the problem hasn’t it? We haven’t been letting them recover before giving them more?”

He was already headed to the door when he turned around speaking, “Yes, now do what you’re told I should be back shortly.” Whirling back around, his robes billowing out and left the lab headed to the infirmary so he could speak to Bellatrix.

He was about to open the door, when it flew open and Draco strolled out, the blond didn’t even notice him standing there too lost in his own thoughts. He walked through the open door before it shut seeing Lucius and Bellatrix standing in front of what looked like test results.

Walking closer to see the results, “I take it…This was the tests you did on Draco?”

Both Elves jumped turning around, Lucius was first to answer, “Yes. Why are you here?”

He smirked nodding his head towards Bellatrix, “I had some questions that I think she could answer, about the acceleration potion.” Lucius nodded his head and sat down, and Bellatrix turned around. Continuing when he had her attention, “The problem I am running into is if one of the test subjects age to much they will die from shock to their system. They need a rest period in-between each dosage what would you recommend for a resting period?”

Bellatrix turned back around and stared at Draco’s test results, a dreamy look crossing her face. She stood there for several minutes before she waved Severus over to look at them. Pointing a picture of what looked like a bone cut in half, she spoke, “This is a picture of Draco’s femur enhanced so we can see inside, and because it is the largest bone in the body we are able to see the growth patterns. We see that Draco is growing three times the normal growth rate, going through intense growth of about two weeks with a rest period of one week. His body is doing what you need done naturally, so my guess would be the same needed to be done for your potion.”

“If Draco is growing at this rate, when is he going to stop, physically? Magically?” Severus asked.

Bellatrix sat down before answering, “He is almost done growing physically, each intensive growth period is getting smaller and smaller; magically he will still go through his inheritance. How strong Draco becomes magically, as strong or stronger than Harry; we won’t know till after his true seventeenth birthday.” Bellatrix narrowed her eyes at Severus speaking in a stern voice, “I will say this, Draco’s body is able to handle this change; naturally eating more, and taking better care of himself. Harry will not, he won’t eat when he is hungry, and the earlier abuse he suffered has left him with little to no nutritional stores to be able to handle any type of accelerated growth. He would need to be put on a nutritional potion now, and continue taking one through the whole ordeal.”

Lucius spoke up, “that would mean he would have to be informed immediately and make his decision if this is what he wants to do.”

Bellatrix nodded her head, “This would also help Draco, as of right now he is considered an adult. With Harry still being young, Draco’s instincts are telling him it is wrong to be with Harry. This conflict could make Draco insane, and Harry may not understand why Draco is being so aloft.”

Lucius nodded his head, “I will go and tell the Dark Lord, I think he may call another meeting tonight after this bit of news.” He stood up to follow Lucius out when Bellatrix called him back.

“Severus, I would recommend a one month waiting period from the last does of the acceleration potion before Harry goes through his inheritance.” Bellatrix said in almost a whisper.

Nodding his head leaving the infirmary already lost in thoughts. That would mean he would need to give the last dose by July 1^st. A quick calculation said it would be possible, but with only eight days to test if one week was a long enough waiting period. All that depended on whether it was safe to give a two week does at a time.
