Harry sent off Hedwig with the last letter he had to send. All the Hopefuls would be coming to spend the night tomorrow night, and they would attend their first actual meeting, so the Death Eaters could see them and know that they were friend, not foe.

Harry went down to the library and went over to the journals section, taking down the third one for Reynard Prince, the last Dracken in the family before Harry. He was learning that Drackens were fiercely protective and territorial to a fault, but they had great self-control that kept fighting over things to a minimum, since they knew their strength and the inheritance came with a confidence boost as well as ones for magical and physical power. He had also found out that sex drive was high after the inheritance, but before that Drackens preferred acts other than intercourse. They were cuddlers and enjoyed making out and intimate touch, but sex was secondary to them. Closeness and trust was much more important until they inherited.

Reynard had been a dominant, and they were much more common in Drackens, but Harry was hoping he’d be a submissive. He didn’t imagine Tom would like bottoming for him all the time. He’d probably do it once in a while, if he came to love Harry enough, but Harry wanted to be protected and coddled and he felt more submissive to the man anyway. He hoped he would beat the odds and be Tom’s submissive, rather than his dominant.

Harry was reading about Reynard’s wife’s second pregnancy when Severus found him.

“We need to go to Diagon Alley. I need a few ingredients for a potion I’m about to brew tonight, and we should get your new shoes while we are out. Are you busy?” Severus asked.

Harry sighed and set the journal aside. “Not really. Let’s go.” He said.

Severus nodded. “Do you want to get a few new outfits, as well?” He asked.

Harry hummed. “I suppose. I don’t have much yet.”

“Good. I think dress robes and two sets of shirts and trousers.” Severus said.

“Sounds good to me.”

“Also, we can go get you a few new books. Those journals can’t be particularly interesting.” Severus said with a smile.

Harry snorted. “Only if there’s a good book on Drackens. That’s why I’m reading them, there’s good information in there.” He said.

Severus nodded. “I see. Yes, there is one, but our copy was destroyed a while back, and besides that, it has had two new versions come out since the Prince family has had a copy. We will get you The Essential Dracken. It’s the best source of information, and the Dark Lord has a copy he has been reading. There are, of course, Dracken secrets that are not in that book, or any others, but instinct will instruct you in those areas, and you will be fine.” He told Harry.

“I’m mainly just hoping I can beat the odds and turn out submissive.” Harry admitted. “Most Drackens are dominants.”

“That’s true,” Severus told him, “but Lady Magic will take your desires into account when she gives you your inheritance. If you truly feel like a sub still, chances are you will be the Dark Lord’s submissive.” He smiled. “But it is still far too early to think of things like that.”

“You hope.” Harry told him.

Severus cocked an eyebrow at him. “I strongly suspect.” He corrected.

Harry chuckled. “Alright, let’s go.”

Harry looked at the light blue silk Madame Malkins was holding up. “I like it.” He told Severus.

Severus nodded. “Then we will get it. Also, a pair of black trousers and a grey shirt. Do not fight me on that, it will look good on you.” He said firmly when Harry opened his mouth to protest the grey.

Harry sighed. “Fine.” He said heavily.

“We will get you whatever colour dress robes you want to make up for it.” Severus told him.

“Hmm. A medium purple?”

Severus nodded. “Yes, that will bring out your eyes nicely.” He said.

Harry looked down at the dark brown trousers he was being fitted for. “I suppose it will work out.”

“Next year we will get you silk for your school uniforms. Cotton is so plebeian.” Severus said disapprovingly.

“It’s cheaper and—”

“Looks it. So silk.” Severus said firmly.

Harry shrugged. “Alright, then. You’re trying to turn me into Draco.” He said.

Severus chuckled. “I am trying to turn you into a proper young Heir of the house of Prince. Learn to enjoy it.” Severus said.

“I suppose I can live with it.”

“You can, and you will also learn to like it. It will take time to get used to it, that’s all.” Severus assured him.

“I also need new socks.” Harry said.

Severus laughed. “How about underwear?”

Harry blushed. “Er…”

“It’s nothing to be ashamed about, we all wear it.” Severus said, amused.

“Yeah.” Harry mumbled.

Severus nodded. “Look around when you are done, find something fun.” He said.

Harry perked up. “Awesome, okay!”

“Underwear does not have to be proper, only you will see it. And I do mean that, don’t show it to your boyfriend any time soon. You should get something you will enjoy.”

Once Harry was done being fitted, he wandered over to the underwear section and got some boxers. One pair had snitches on it, one had dragons of different types and one had a swirling design in blue and red.

Severus held up a green pair.

Harry made a face. “Really? Slytherin colours?”

Severus rolled his eyes. “I was actually thinking that it matches your eyes.” He said, exasperated.

“Oh.” Harry took them. “They stay at home, though.”

“Fair enough, I can live with that.” Severus said.

They paid for their purchases and Severus ordered the dress robes, Harry picking out a shade of purple he liked, and they left with their purchases and were told the dress robes would be delivered to Prince Manor in four days.

The next stop was Flourish and Blotts, where Harry picked up The Essential Dracken, a book on beginner’s Dark Arts, and a book on Parselmagic.

“Keep in mind, if you use and Parselmagic, Dumbledore will know it was you, and that also counts as Dark Arts.” Severus warned.

“I’ll remember that, but it might get me out of a tight spot, and you know how often I get into them, so every little bit helps.” Harry told him.

“You have a point there. Just be careful.” Severus told him as they paid. “Lunch?” Severus suggested, pointing out a little café a few stores down.

“Sure.” Harry said.

“Then the apothecary and home.” Severus said. “The trip for ingredients shouldn’t take long, these ones are easy to spot freshness for.”

Harry nodded. “Good. I want to get home and get into those books.”

Severus smiled. “It’s good to see someone your age excited about learning.”

“I can be enthusiastic when it’s a subject I’m actually interested in.”

“Potions doesn’t interest you?” Severus teased.

Harry snorted. “It does, a little more now that I’m actually better at it.”

“You’re doing much better, and it makes me very proud.”

Harry flushed happily. It was nice to hear that someone he looked up to was finally proud of him. He hadn’t heard it nearly enough in his life.

*****

Harry was reading his Dark Arts book and learning that he learned the locking spell and the lip-locker only a little sooner than he should have, because they were in the book, only near the back. The crushing curse was nowhere to be found.

Harry hummed and closed the book. Most of the things he was learning were tailored to his circumstances, rather than his ability level. He was happy with Severus' methods, and while he wasn’t learning what he maybe should already know, he was learning things he could use, and that was better than learning things he would find easier.

He opened up The Essential Dracken and scanned the table of contents.

He turned to the section on family dynamics first.

“The Dracken in a family unit always rules the home, and while they may listen to their parents, the mates and other relatives must let the Dracken set the rules and lead most interactions, or the Dracken’s fierce temper usually flares.”

Harry sighed. The book made it sound like there was simply no such thing as a submissive Dracken, and that had Harry worried. Could he be submissive to Tom? He really wanted to.

Would becoming a Dracken change him fundamentally?

Would he still recognize himself after his inheritance?

He headed downstairs and found Severus in a parlour.

“Severus?” His voice was tentative and unsure.

Severus looked up from the book he was leafing through. “What’s the matter, Harrison?” He asked, setting the book aside.

Harry walked over to the armchair opposite his father. “I’m worried. I don’t want to change who I am when I become a Dracken, but... The book makes it sound like I will become a dominant. I want to be submissive to Tom. What if it changes me and I’m too different when the time comes? Will I still be myself?”

Severus smiled. “I believe it is time to show you something. Come with me.” He led Harry into the library. “What I am about to show you is our most closely-guarded secret. You must tell no one about this. No one but your own children. Your mate only if you can trust him enough.”

He pulled down a book and there was a small indent in the bottom of the shelf where it was. He touched it and the wall behind them slid open. “This area is Wizardspace.” He explained, and walked in. He led Harry to a very small bookshelf, which held twenty-five books. “These are Merlin's journals.”

Harry gasped.

“We are direct descendants of him. He was the first Dracken in our family.” Severus took down a book and pressed it into Harry’s hands. “Read it. He was a submissive Dracken. You will be able to submit to your mate, but you will appear to be the dominant in public. Your submission will be a private matter.”

Harry smiled. “Thank you. I feel so much better now.”

Severus chuckled and gave him a hug. “Anytime you worry, feel free to come to me. I will either allay your fears, or we will discuss whatever is the matter until it ceases to be a fear or problem.” He told Harry. “Go read, and learn what the future will hold for you as a submissive Dracken.” He urged.

Harry nodded. “I will.” He took the journal and turned.

“Harrison.” Severus called.

Harry turned.

“To get into this room, you remove the book Shadow Arts. Touch none of the others. As I warned you, some of them are cursed. But you are allowed to come and go from this area as you please. These journals will be a great source of information and comfort for you. They are rightfully yours as the next Dracken in the family.” Severus told him.

Harry nodded and headed up to his room.

Severus smiled. He would be fine.

And the Dark Lord would have to accept being seen as the submissive partner in public. Or he would lose Harry.

It would be greatly amusing to watch the Dark Lord struggle with the power play between them.

*****

Harry was waiting near the Floo. Luna would be coming first, then Hermione five minutes later. After another five, Neville would arrive, then the twins.

Luna came through and smiled widely. “Harry! Oh, look at you! You're very handsome like this!” She stepped forward and kissed his cheek. “I like it. I bet your consort does, too.” She said teasingly.

Harry laughed and rubbed the back of his neck. “Well, he calls me ‘pretty,’ so I assume so.” He said.

Luna nodded. “Yes, you really are. Am I really the first one here?”

“You are. Hermione is next. You and she will need to share a bedroom tonight, is that okay?” He asked.

Luna nodded. “I know. There are a lot of rooms here, but you want us close to you, and there are only so many guest rooms in the family wing. I'll share with her, and Neville will be sharing with the twins, right?”

Harry nodded. “Right.”

“Will we be meeting at Malfoy Manor, or Riddle Manor?” She asked.

Harry shrugged. “I’m not sure.”

Luna frowned. “Neither am I, which is strange.” She mused.

The Floo flared, and Hermione came through.

“Oh! Look at you! You handsome devil!” She said.

Harry laughed. “That seems to be the general consensus, yes.”

“Well, I can see why Tom wants you as his consort.”

“About that... We're official, now. All the Death Eaters know.” Harry told her.

Hermione nodded. “Alright.”

“Are you okay sharing a room with Luna tonight?” Harry asked.

Hermione nodded. “That will be fine.” She said.

“Good.”

The Floo flared again, and Neville stepped through. He looked at Harry and whistled. “Wow. That’s quite a change there. Looks good, though.” He said.

Harry chuckled. “Thanks.”

Neville looked around the receiving room. “So, Prince Manor. So far, looks like what I'd imagine a Dark-aligned family home to look like. Little more opulent than ours, but the Princes always flaunted their wealth.”

Harry laughed. “Yeah. Are you okay sharing a room with—”

Fred tumbled out of the Floo early, George right on his heels.

“We're here!” Fred announced.

Harry sighed. “These idiots?” He finished his question.

Neville laughed. “Yeah, I can share with them. It won’t be a problem.”

Harry smiled. “Good. Come on, I'll show you guys to the guest rooms.”
