Throne Room
Riddle Mansion, Little Hangleton, Great
Britain
Tuesday the 5th
of August 1997
10:31 PM
Voldemort lounged on
his throne, his Inner Circle standing in a V
around him as they waited for the Elite to arrive. The Dementor Lord had
unsurprisingly arrived with a small entourage and they were calmly floating
around various points in the room. The first few to arrive were the younger Flint, Warrington, Hopkins and Higgs. As
they were Death Eaters, they were prompt about arriving in a timely manner when
they were called but where hesitant at what to do as they had been called as
Elites and not Death Eaters. Warrington
however just stood up straight as he approached Voldemort. Going down on one
knee he bowed his head submissively before reaching out to take Voldemort’s
hand and kissing the Slytherin ring he intoned, “My Lord.”
Voldemort nodded,
“Elite Warrington.”
Warrington relaxed minutely, pleased he had done the right thing
before releasing Voldemort’s hand and backing away two paces before he stood up
and moved back to his fellows. As the rest of the Elites arrived, each of them
moved forward to greet Voldemort in the same manner as Warrington before taking their place amongst
their fellow Elite. None of them looked out of place or the least bit confused
by what was happening, which made Voldemort suspicious until he counted them.
There were only twenty present.
“Well, this is
unexpected,” Voldemort said to no one in particular. “He should not have been
able to resist the Call. I expect though he will be arriving after a time, the
pain will get progressively worse until he comes. The rest of you may stand in
front of your parents as we wait.”
The minutes passed
by silently, no one moving but the Dementor Lord who crept forward to stand to
the side of Voldemort’s throne. Once the Dementor Lord was in place, he had to
wait until the Death Eaters moved out of his way he spoke.
“I told you he was
stubborn did I not brothers?” The Dementor Lord asked using Necromancer’s cant.
“Yes.” Several
answered.
Voldemort looked
sharply at the Dementor Lord but didn’t comment. Another ten minutes passed
before their mysterious quarry finally appeared. Eyes fastening onto the
newcomer, Voldemort studied him. The younger man appeared to be of average
height and build and his clothes were finely made, not luxurious like Lucius’s but certainly better than others. Wisely, the
younger man had worn a cloak that covered his face and most of his body.
The Dementor Lord
floated forward speaking, “We meet again young Necromancer. You have proven as
stubborn as I had assumed.”
“I do not yield
to anyone, Lord Dementor”, Harry replied, his voice lower and huskier than
normal.
“That much I know
young Necromancer and I would be surely disappointed if you would. There is a
fiery spirit in you that draw others like a moth to the flame; we will ensure
that the Snake Lord treats you fairly. It would not due for the only Scion of
both the Illusionist and the Lightbringer to be
tamed.” The Dementor Lord said reaching out and pushing the hood of Harry’s
cloak back. The others watching examined the features of the newcomer, he had
chin length light brown hair and dark blue eyes. In other words, he looked
perfectly average, not blindingly handsome or ugly but average enough to pass
in a crowd without remarks.
Harry snarled as he
stepped back. “How much protection can you give me? Very little I imagine but
it matters not, I will find a way to escape this fate my blasted mother
unknowingly condemned me to! I am no one’s pawn or servant and certainly not
Voldemort’s!”
The Dementor Lord
laughed and the air chilled marginally. “Do you think you can escape this life
that was decided long before you were born? Do you believe yourself so great
that even you can bend the will of the Universe to your whim? If you are
that arrogant young Necromancer then I am a Saint and a Saint I am not.”
The Dementor Lord reached out and pulled Harry up against his cold body. “Why
do you insist on deluding yourself? You know as well as I do that you cannot
avoid this fate, not without dying and that you are not allowed young
Necromancer.”
Harry broke the
grasp the Dementor Lord had on him and hissed venomously, making the guttural
Necromancer’s cant sound even more unnerving than Parseltongue. “Are you so far
gone that you can’t remember at all what it is like to be human? How am I supposed
to react to finding out about something like that? To know that my own mother
condemned me to the fate of being the Dark Lord’s lackey? To know that I can’t
even disobey him in small ways without risking pain or even death? I am not the
kind of person who will yield to anyone and then I find that I have no choice,
none at all!”
The Dementor Lord
simply stood and thought over Harry’s words. “No one said that you were without
power young Necromancer, use your cunning and make for yourself a place within
the ranks. You and I both know that there are at best only a dozen Necromancers
alive and none of them can possibly compare to you in power. He created his
Commanders to lead his army without the need for constant supervision and thus
you have some rights and some boundaries for all that you are bound to serve
him.”
“Very well, we will
see what he thinks of his newest possession and you had best keep your word!”
Harry snarled.
The Dementor Lord
moved out of his way and Harry quickly stepped forward until he was only a few
feet away from Voldemort. Harry stopped abruptly and scanned the wall of eyes
that watched him curiously before directly staring at Voldemort.
“I begin to think
that was I born under a cursed star Tom,” Harry replied as he let all go of the
Glamour spells hiding his physical changes. Harry’s formerly messy black hair
was a little less wild, his eyes still emerald green but the bones in his face
were beginning to become more prominent giving the panes of his face a sharper
look and his skin was little less tan. He was a bit taller than before, with a
longer torso and less broad shoulders but he was still as graceful as ever. His
features drew a bit of attention but most was drawn to the one thing that made
him stand out in a crowd, that oh-so-famous lighting bolt scar on his forehead.
Several people
gasped and Voldemort’s crimson eyes widened from surprise. Harry just bared his
teeth, which were a bit sharper due to his Incubi heritage, as he took in all
the dumbstruck or shocked expressions. His father’s expression was priceless
though, the elder Snape looked pale, obsidian eyes wide and his nostrils
flared. That’s probably the only good thing mother’s done for me, Harry
thought absently I will be forever grateful for not inheriting that blasted
hawk nose. Based on the tense way Snape was standing, Harry guessed that
there must be a slight resemblance already even though it had only been five
days.
“Potter?!” Draco
Malfoy exclaimed the first to regain his thoughts and tongue.
Harry snorted. “No really
I just double Glamour myself to look like the Boy Savior of the fucking
Wizarding World! Are you always this stupid?” Harry glanced around with
a sneer. “And you call yourselves Slytherins, wearing your shock on your faces
like this!”
“Potter, that will
be enough.” Voldemort said rising.
“Oh excuse my
insolence O mighty leader,” Harry said rolling his eyes. “How do you stand
being surrounded by fools? Wait a minute I forgot you’re a crazy megalomaniac
who constantly needs an ego boost.”
Voldemort looked
like he was ready to whip out his wand and start cursing Harry into the next
century however the Lestranges beat him to it. All
three Lestranges raised their wand yelling out “Crucio!”
Harry watched the
yellow light approach and calmly raised a hand, the spells melted away into
nothing without even coming close to him. With his other hand he pulled his arm
to the side and thenjerked it forward making a
gesture rather like one would use to bat a fly.A pale
blue light emitted from his handwhich sent the entire
wall of Death Eaters sailing ten feet into the air before crashing down to the
ground.
“All bark and no
bite,” Harry sniffed before calmly turning back to regard Voldemort who was
looking at him with keen interest.
“Potter either be
polite when you speak or be silent, now you will tell me the truth about how
much you know.” Voldemort commanded before moving back to take a seat on his
throne.
“What do I know? I
know lots of things. I know how to make a poison that will eat away a person’s
internal organs, I know how to Summon a Hellhound that will literally rip apart
and devour each and every single person in this room and I know how to sing
‘God Save the Queen’ in over a dozen different languages. Somehow I doubt
that’s what you wanted to know.”
Voldemort looked
amused. “As interesting as that is, I want to know how much you know about the
circumstances surrounding your birth.”
“Oh that, I
suppose then that I know more than my dear father over there,” Harry said
making a vague gesture towards Snape. “From what my whore of a mother told me
when I Summoned her three weeks ago, her family owed Snape’s
family a Debt that had been forgotten and better forgotten if you ask me.
Either way she decided it was time to fulfill that Debt so she got herself
knocked up by Snape and called it even. James Potter was in on all of it though
he wasn’t exactly happy about it; he adopted me though so legally I am Harold
James Potter. Obviously as my biological father is gaping like a stranded fish,
he hasn’t a clue about how I was sired or that he even had a child.”
Snape, who had
finally stopped imitating a fish scowled, “What Debt is that? Your mother was a
mudblood!”
Harry snorted. “No
she wasn’t, if anything her bloodline is more pure than all of yours, she’s the
byproduct of the liaison with an Incubus and a long line of squibs of Merlin’s
lineage. As for the debt, you O snarky one have the
prestigious honor of being the only other remaining Scion of the Illusionist
better known as Blaze, Master of Merlin.”
The room was dead
silent except for the inarticulate attempts by Snape to speak. “But- I, what?!”
“You’re not deaf
so you obviously heard me correctly,” said Harry, that was the much more polite
version of what he would have rather said.
“Polite Potter, remember
to be polite,” Voldemort warned before eyeing him curiously. “I don’t see your
Incubus markings.”
Harry raised an
eyebrow and crossed his arms, his stance clearly indicating that he was not
about to indulge Voldemort.
Voldemort’s eyes
narrowed, “Now Potter, I order you to show me your Incubus markings!”
Harry let out a
small gasp as pain washed over him, gritting his teeth Harry forced himself to
stay standing. He would show Voldemort he wasn’t about to be ordered around
like an obedient dog! As the pain intensified, Harry allowed himself the luxury
of stumbling down to one knee but otherwise showed no outward signs of pain. In
fact he was getting enraged, he was not about to yield to Voldemort! Harry
looked up and caught Voldemort’s eyes, before speaking.
“Do you really think
I’ll bend to your will with a simple order? I’ve fought you four times
and thwarted you at every turn; do you think that the circumstances of my birth
would stop me now? Not likely,” Harry growled, glaring.
Voldemort was about
to curse him but slowly stopped, remembering the conversation he’d overheard.
“Very well, you’re still going to be stubborn aren’t you? That’s not unexpected
I suppose but know this, you can fight however much you desire but eventually
you will do as I command you. Now I’m going to ask you if you will show
me your Incubus markings.”
Harry slowly got to
his feet as the pain drained away though his body still ached. Bringing his
left wrist up, Harry pressed an ice blue ‘gem’ and relaxed as the Pain Potion
took care of the remaining aches. Slightly mollified by Voldemort’s civility
Harry jerked his shirt out of his trousers and lifted the left side up,
revealing the side of his waist and his ribs. There were a few appreciative
stares as Harry turned to the side so Voldemort could see the mark which was a
waxing crescent moon hanging above an upside down Greek letter Psi. After pausing long enough for Voldemort to have a good
look, Harry tucked his shirt back in thinking something over intensely before
he turned to glare at Voldemort.
“You wouldn’t have
happened to have anything to do with the physical enhancements we Elite
have now would you?” Harry asked softly, eyes burning.
“Most were
implemented at my request, why do you ask?” Voldemort responded cautiously.
Harry’s eyes burned
brighter if that was possible. “Oh nothing really, it just suddenly occurred to
me that you might have had something to do with my being kidnapped by a lusty
Incubus and drugged out of my mind with Lust potions for about a day until I was
rescued.”
Blaise Zabini looked confused while some of the adults’ eyes
widened with realization. “Why would an Incubus kidnap you?”
“You mean no one’s
told you yet? Apparently, the male Elite have been engineered to be able to
conceive naturally without the use of Potions. The fact that I was a quarter
Incubi, which I didn’t know at the time, was just an added bonus. The teachers
at Arcanum still haven’t a clue how he got past the wards and the wards at
Arcanum make the wards surrounding Hogwarts look like Apprentice work. After
that I was confined to the school, then the third floor, then the Student’s
wing and finally to my rooms.”
“Why was that?” Lisa
Turpin asked not thinking about it.
Harry bared his
teeth. “They kept coming back, apparently word spread around the Demon realm
that there was a quarter Incubi male capable of natural pregnancy. I was safe
enough at the school before the sun set but after that I was fair game. The
teachers did their best but it wasn’t until I had learned more about being a Necromancer
that I learned to keep them away from me.” Harry glanced around counting the
number of male Elite. “I expect by now they’ve realized I’ve left Arcanum it’ll
be another week, two at the most, before they track me down and just think,
there are fourteen other equally eligible males for them to kidnap!”
Draco looked
worried, “But we’re not Incubi.”
“No, you aren’t but
you’re pretty enough and there are enough of us where they would be able to
breed full Incubi in two or three generations. They haven’t been able to get me
yet but that doesn’t mean they won’t settle for easier prey,” Harry said rather
cheerfully.
“You aren’t
serious?”, the Lestrange twins asked in unison.
Harry grinned as he
reached into his robe pocket and pulled out a pack of Vanilla Silk Cut. “I’m
very serious. Incubi are odd creatures; they can break past Wizard wards faster
than any other Dark creature you know? I’m safe most of the time because I’m a
Necromancer.”
“How is that
possible?”, asked Zabini Sr.
“Spiritual
protection of course, I have the Chastity blessing of Athena, the Rite of
Protection by Artemis and the Hearth Protection of Hestia. Additionally, I have
the Ill Intention Protection by Hermes, the Magical Spell Enhancement by Hecate and best of all a Personal Protection Charm under
the sigil of Zeus, thanks to this lovely scar of mine.” Harry explained as he
lit his cigarette and took a slow inhalation.
Voldemort frowned,
“Can you give the others the same kind of protection?”
“It’s possible but
unlikely; I only manage because Necromancy is a Blood-Gift from the Illusionist
and even then I’m vulnerable on the day of the Full and New Moons.”
Lucius sneered, “Why
don’t you give it a try?”
“None of the Elite
have the smallest hint of ability towards Necromancy and thus would not be able
to sustain the spells. Supposing they did have the ability, I couldn’t
do anything anyway as it’s not the correct phase in the month and this place is
not warded correctly to even be attempting such a complicated Summoning. And
even if that weren’t the case, I’m positive almost half of them wouldn’t
qualify for the protection anyways.” Harry lectured between smoking his
cigarette.
“What do you mean?”,
Bellatrix Lestrange asked
sharply.
Harry shot her a
dark look but a glance at Voldemort showed that he was about to order Harry to
explain anyways. Harry had had enough pain for one evening thank you so he
began to explain after sighing. “Have you no brains? The Spiritual protection
that I’ve invoked to protect me against the Incubi are blessings by the Greek Virgin
Goddesses. Thus they only work so long as the person being protected remains a
virgin.”
Narcissa Malfoy
stared at him; it was almost unheard of for a teenager his age to still be a
virgin, let alone a man as popular as Harry Potter. “You’re a virgin by
choice?”
“Well let’s see my
only options at the time were to either remain a virgin and protected
against the Incubi or go around screwing everyone at school, not being safe
anywhere from the Incubi and eventually spending the rest of my extremely
long life being impregnated by various Incubi. With those two choices,
it’s no surprise I chose celibacy,” Harry replied acidic. “Even then I’m only
protected as long as it is my desire to remain celibate, I’m sure if a
strong enough Incubi captured me and held me Enhralled
for a day or two I’d probably break. Added to that, the days of the Full and
New Moons render my Chastity and Protection blessings useless, which is why I
can’t leave my bedroom for any reason on those two days and nights without
practically asking to be captured.”
“You can’t just
leave us defenseless!” Anthony Goldstein objected.
Harry snuffed out
his cigarette. “No I suppose I can’t. You’d squeal to high heaven the moment
they captured you and courtesy of the Royal Incubi there’s a King’s ransom in
the Demon realm on my head or rather my arse. I suppose I’ll have to do
something to protect you all. Bad enough I was born into servitude, last thing
I need is to be some sinfully handsome Incubi’s brood mare.”
Harry flicked his
wrist. “Tempus.” Silver mist formed the time which was 10:55. “Well,
you’re in luck I have just enough time to get my Summoning Chamber prepared.
Now, you’re all going to do exactly like I tell you if you know what’s good for
you.” Harry stood up and clasped his hands together before pulling them apart,
conjuring a long, thick braid of rope. “Now, I’m going to assume each of you is
still living with your parents?”
Marcus Flint shook
his head, “Chris, Rich, Wayne and I all live together in a flat in London.”
Harry frowned as he
ran a hand through his hair. “Well you’ll be moving back in with your folks
until I can come up with a better solution. Now, I would suggest that the rest
of the Inner Circle who have an Elite go and fetch their spouses and anything
that bears their Family Crest, Seal, Coat of Arms whatever and be quick about
it, the rest of you can go do whatever you all do in spare time between raids,”
Harry said dismissively. “I imagine that you’ll want to tag along Tom so that’s
fine and I should like to have a few words with the Dementor Lord as well.”
The Death Eaters
turned to look at Voldemort who nodded and then they departed. Harry however
ignored everyone as he turned around and began talking to the Dementor Lord,
exchanging ideas about what could be used as temporary protection until Harry
could go around individually spelling each Elite’s bedroom. Ten minutes later,
everyone had returned and stood waiting.
“Take a hold of the
rope; I’ve turned it into a Port-key. We’ll land just outside the second layer
of wards and we’ll have to just walk as brooms and any other mode of
transportation is not useable between the first and the second layer of wards,”
Harry instructed as he reached down and grabbed it, the others following. A
minute later they departed.

Eagle’s Spire,
Devon UK
Tuesday the 5th
of August 1997
11:05 PM
They landed about
250 feet away from the portcullis and upon arriving Harry set the pace towards
his ancestral home. The others followed behind him, admiring what they could
see of the monstrous castle.
“What property is
this?”, Voldemort asked, walking to the side of Harry.
Harry glanced over
at his nemesis-turned-Master, sighing he raised his voice so everyone could
hear, “This is Eagle’s Spire
Castle, the Ancestral
home of the Potter Family and the former residence of one Godric
Gryffindor. As you are my guests, I will suggest that you not touch anything
within as the Castle is particularly dangerous to the Dark Magically inclined.”
“And it does you no
harm?”, Rabastan asked snorting.
Harry smiled coolly,
“Ah, but I’m family they can hardly injure me, grumble and rant about
how I turned out dark yes but hurt me intentionally or otherwise, no.”
As they approached
the Portcullis, Harry told them to stay at least six feet back as he went
through the ritual of gaining entrance to the castle. Once the Portcullis
opened, Harry waved everyone to precede him as the Portcullis would close the
moment he walked past the threshold. After everyone passed by him, Harry walked
to the front of the crowd and led the way inside.
“Your barbican is
empty?”, Lucius Malfoy asked as they walked through the first empty courtyard.
“The statues were
moved to the other barbican for some reason. I was planning on moving them back
but I haven’t gotten around to it yet,” Harry replied as they passed through
the Inner Gatehouse.
Mrs. Zabini admired the garden, “Did you plant this?”
“No, it was already
like this when I arrived; I see no reason to change it as the other barbican is
full of crops and what not,” Harry answered as he pushed open the door. As he
stepped through the threshold Saffie appeared.
“Master Potter, can Saffie get yous anything?”
“I’ll need another
small bag of salt, a pail of lambs blood and another two sticks of chalk. Bring
it to my Summoning Chamber if you will, along with some tea for my guests,”
Harry instructed.
Saffie curtsied, “Right away Master Potter!”
“House elves?”,
Draco asked curiously.
“Eagle’s Spire does
not run itself I assure you. Speaking of which none of you will abuse my house
elves. I’m having enough problems with the portraits; I don’t need you
alienating my servants either,” Harry warned them as he led them to the right
and down the stairs to the dungeons. Pausing outside the door to his Summoning
Chamber, Harry withdrew a knife from the arm holster on his left arm and slit
his hand before setting it on the door and opening it. As the others entered
the room, Harry held the door open for them.
“Bloody hell it’s
dark in here, don’t you have any torches?”, Theodore Nott asked.
“Use your damned
wands you idiots, I have torches but they are to be lighted by me and in a
pattern.” Harry snarled as he shut the door behind them. With a wave of his
hands, the torches on the walls sprang to life in an alternating pattern.
Another wave of his hand expanded the small room into a more comfortably sized
room with padded benches on both sides of the room. Saffie
arrived with several other house elves who passed out the tea accordingly.
Harry sent one off to retrieve his Summoning clothes along with his knapsack.
Ignoring the murmur
of conversation and the curious eyes, Harry began stripping out of his clothes
piling them neatly by the door until he was clothed in crimson silk boxers.
Using several charms, Harry cleaned himself as best as he could as he waited
for the house elf to return with his things. Tuli set
Harry’s things on the floor in front of him and Harry dismissed him as he
pulled on his clothes. Saffie had left the items he
had requested on the shelf on the back wall. Grabbing the knapsack, Harry
stuffed the other items in it, leaving the pail of lamb’s blood until he needed
it. Moving into the center of the room, Harry took out three more miniaturized
torches returning them to their full size before rearranging the seven torches.
Harry cast several Measuring Charms to make sure that everything was in the
right place.
Harry glanced from
one bench to the other, “I’ll need the items you brought me and a vial of blood
from each parent, taken from Steel. The rest of you strip down to your boxers
and wait until I direct you to your spot.” Harry took out Steel (the metal
snake remember?) and showed the adults how to use it before accepting the items
passing it to the male Elite while directing each to a spot within the circle
that he hadn’t drawn yet. They were arranged in two rings of seven, one outside
the torches and one inside, the outer circle was five feet away from each other
and the inner circle three. Once Harry had received all the vials of blood,
each marked distinctively he told the parents to hold onto their vial until he Accioed them.
“Now is the hard
part, I will need you all to be utterly quiet. If you’ve got to sneeze you hold
it back, if you break my concentration at a critical moment there’s no telling
just what can go wrong. Understand?”, Harry asked everyone. When everyone
nodded Harry turned to face the other men standing in the middle of the room.
“And not a single one of you standing move out of position got it? I won’t even
tell you what’ll happen if you move out of alignment.”
Once he was
satisfied with their agreement, Harry Accioed the
pail of lamb’s blood and his knapsack setting them in the very center of the
three rings. Harry reached into the bag and took out the bag of salt. Moving
past the others he took a deep breath and frowning with concentration began to
pour the salt forming a circle. When he finished he paced on the inside of the
circle checking to make sure it was as geometrically accurate as possible.
Setting the bag of salt in his knapsack, Harry reached for the sticks of chalk
and started the tedious process of drawing Summoning runes inside the circle
and then protection circles and other runes around each of the male Elite.
Finishing the circle that protected him during the initial Summoning, Harry
took out the four stone Glyphs and after casting a Measuring Charm set them in
the correct positions on the circle of chalk around himself.
“I’m ready to begin
Summoning, until I leave the circle of chalk I drew around me, don’t any of you
dare to speak, move or distract me,” Harry commanded before stripping out of
his clothes which he let pool at his feet. Starting with the Sealing rune
followed quickly by the Piercing rune, Harry began the Summoning.
“I Summon,” Harry
traced the Summoning rune before turning to face another Glyph.
“A Guardian of the
Celestial Plain,” Harry traced the rune to Anchor.
“By the Offering of
Blood,” Harry intoned tracing and drawing the Offering rune.
“I Summon the
Guardian known as Demon Stalker! By the Blood of the Illusionist, I Summon!”,
Harry finished drawing the final Binding rune.
A flash of light
gathered just outside the circle of chalk. When the light faded a ghostly
looking man floated in the air looking around with interest.
“Hello Demon
Stalker,” Harry greeted stepping out of the chalk circle.
Demon Stalker turned
looking at Harry with surprise. “You again? I thought you had that matter with
the abducting Incubi taken care of little Raven.”
“I do, it’s these
fellows that’ll need your Guardianship,” Harry said gesturing at the Elite
standing within the circle.
“Feeling altruistic?
That’s not how I imagined you,” DS replied amused.
Harry snorted. “No
not altruistic, more of a self-interest matter if you would. Let’s get this
over with DS, oh and do feel free to help yourself to that lamb’s blood over
there.”
DS floated over to
the pail of blood and after Harry conjured him a chalice started drinking.
Harry meanwhile snatched up his knapsack before walking over to Draco who was
standing nearest to him.
“Hold up your item
with both hands and hold it over your heart,” Harry replied as he pulled out a
small basin, two paint brushes and a plastic bottle filled with water. With a
small wiggle of his fingers, the items he dew out of the knapsack began to
hover in the air in front of him, leaving his hands free to pull out two other
vials one was blue and the other gray.
To the right of him,
Snape was watching him with interest. “What are you doing?”
“Oh just getting
ready to do the formal bonding of object to person and DS to object,” Harry
answered stepping back. “Steel come.”
The metal snake
appeared coiled around Harry’s wrist. “Good Steel. Now all of you pay attention
and remember what I’m telling you. Now what I’ll do is Accio
the vials of blood, I’ll use a brush and draw binding runes on your son, then
I’ll mix the blood in the basin here adding a drop each of the Binding and
Bonding Potions and then I’ll draw runes on the item to bond Demon Stalker to
the item and your son. Demon Stalker will create a spirit necklace and I will
miniaturize and affix the Family item to the necklace, then Demon Stalker will
drink the blood remaining the basin and the bond will complete. I will ask the
person who’s blood I’m using to draw the runes if they are willing to protect their
son and you will answer exactly with, ‘Blood of my blood, until the day I
breathe last will my blood protect’. Once I’ve drawn both sets of runes I will
ask your son if he will accept the protection and he will answer exactly with,
‘Born of seed, flesh and blood I accept the protection until blood of my blood
breathes their last’. Understand?”
Nods or yes’s rang
around the room and Harry yawned before moving back. “Accio
Lucius Malfoy’s vial!”, Harry caught the vial and
opened it, dipping the paintbrush within and carefully raised it. “Draco Malfoy
born of the blood of Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy, will you as his father Lucius
Malfoy use your blood to protect your son?”
“Blood of my blood,
until the day I breathe my last will my blood protect,” Lucius said perfectly.
Harry raised the
brush and began incanting as he drew runes on Draco’s left cheek and forehead.
Setting the brush in the air, Harry reached turned. “Accio
Narcissa Malfoy’s vial!”, Harry opened the vial and
dipped the brush before once again asking the same question only using mother
instead of father. She answered exactly the same and then he drew runes on
Draco’s right cheek and layered the rune he’d drawn on his forehead only using
his mother’s blood. Harry set the brush in the air and grabbed hold of both
vials, preparing to dump them both into the basin.
“Son of Lucius
Malfoy, son of Narcissa Black Malfoy, will you accept the blood protection of
those who sired you?”
“Born of seed, flesh
and blood I accept the protection until blood of my blood breathes their last,”
Draco replied.
Incanting again,
Harry poured the vials adding a drop each of the Binding and Bonding Potion.
“DS get over here and do your part,” Harry snapped as he cleaned one of the
brushes with a spell and started drawing runes on the small shield Draco was
holding. DS moved forward and with a wave of his hand a shimmering silver-white
necklace appeared around Draco’s neck. Harry finished drawing the runes and
shrunk it before attaching it to the necklace and handing the basin to DS.
Finished, Harry moved on to Blaise Zabini who was
standing to the right of Draco.
Nearly an hour later
Harry finished and in rapid succession traced the Banish, Seal and Dispelling
runes. A Tempus Spell revealed that it was almost two o’clock in the morning.
Harry yawned again and began the tedious process of cleaning the room.
“You said that this
was only a temporary solution?” Voldemort asked as Harry packed up the torches.
“Yes, an Incubus can
still get around the protection in the necklace. If the wearer removes the
necklace of their own freewill then the protection comes to nothing and Incubi
can subvert the wearer into removing the necklace.” Harry rubbed his neck
rather absently. “I learned that first hand and I was an accomplished Occlumens
and Legilimens at the time. There are only two permanent ways that will cause
the Incubi to loose interest, the first is a formal Engagement bonded with
blood and the second is Marriage bonded with blood and consummated.”
Voldemort looked
faintly amused, “The majority of the Elite are old enough to be engaged, in
fact many of them are.”
Harry clothed
himself with a flick of the wrist, “And your point is?”
“To my knowledge you
are not yet engaged,” Voldemort commented watching Harry.
“And if I was, do
you think I would be mentioning it to you or Dumbledore for that matter?” Harry
countered.
Snape moved forward,
“You will not marry anyone without my approval!”
Harry sneered, “It’s
amusing that you wish to involve yourself in my life father but I’m
already of age and no one even knows you’re my father. I don’t have a doubt
that Dumbledore or Fudge would want to keep my parentage a secret if they were
to happen upon the information. After all, think how tarnishing it would
be if they found out that the man who sired the Savior of the Wizarding World
was nothing more than a Death Eater spy.”
“I will not be
spoken to in such a manner!”, Snape hissed, glaring.
Harry laughed as he
wove his Glamour spells which flowed over him and attached themselves to his
very bones. “And how am I to speak to you? I am Harry Potter, son of James and
Lily Potter and you are Severus Snape, Dumbledore’s Death Eater Spy who is
really Voldemort’s Order of the Phoenix Spy. In the eyes of the world we
absolutely loathe each other; we’d just as soon as throw each other to a
pack of wolves than speak civilly. Even in this circle you are nothing more
than the man who sired me, nothing more and nothing less.”
Lucius Malfoy
entered the fray. “Do you honestly believe that you can pretend to be Harry
Potter anymore after this revelation? By Christmas you will begin your
Transformation and there will be no way to hide that if you were to
return to the House of Lions and under Dumbledore’s eye. Harry Potter must
die and the son of Severus Snape return here to Wizarding Britain.”
“You know nothing of
what I am capable of Malfoy. I have hidden what I am under the very noses of
those residing at the Phoenix Headquarters and even you do not recognize that
for me, things have already begun.” Harry shed his shirt and moved away from
them, willing his Transformation which came quicker and less painfully every
day.
It began with Harry
hunching forward, eyes closed as he focused. To the amazement of everyone
watching, they could literally see his muscles and bones in his back,
chest and shoulders bulging and shifting. Then the skin on his back began to
turn red and something triangular shaped began to push out of his back until
the skin broke. Once the skin broke the rest of the Transformation was fast,
almost faster than the eye could see. In one instance the clawed thumb of his
wings were poking out of his back while Harry threw his shoulders back a spray
of blood splattered everyone within ten feet of him and in the next instance
huge black scaled wings were stretched out behind him.
Opening his eyes,
Harry glanced over a shoulder at his wings before stretching them all little
and flapping them a few times to work out any kinks all while ignoring the
little splats as his blood dripped onto the floor or some unfortunate
person. Harry fully stretched his wings and cleaned them with a wave of his
hand before closing them neatly with a loud snap.
“How long have you
been Transforming?”, Voldemort asked walking around him, noting that the skin
on his (Harry’s) back and torso was beginning to dapple as tiny scales, barely
noticeable appeared.
Harry folded his
wings a bit more comfortably on his back, “A year and a half on the twentieth.”
“That long?”,
Voldemort asked taken aback. “Hmm so it began before you even turned sixteen. I
suppose you have reached your magical maturity already?”
Harry snorted,
“January 1st, I’ve just been leading Dumbledore on and even when he had me
remove the Aura Masking Spell, I only took off part of it.”
“Interesting,”
Voldemort said crimson eyes thoughtful. “And your first Transformation?”
“Worse than the
Cruciatus,” Harry said with a grimace. “Thought I would bleed to death, I felt
like something was ripping me apart from the inside out. Luckily Professor
Dumont came up with this lovely thing.”
Everyone turned to
look at the red gem that Harry was tapping on his right bracelet.
“A ruby, how was
that useful?”, Antares sneered.
Harry pressed the
‘gem’ which began to empty into his bloodstream. “I would have thought you’d be
more observant. This is Invictus Potion and probably the only reason I
managed to cope with my Transformations for as long as I did. It’s automated to
inject itself straight into my bloodstream every six hours and immediately upon
Transformation. It helps strengthen the muscles and bones in my body and wings
along with increasing the amount of endorphins and blood my body makes. It does
other things as well but those four are the most important during a
Transformation.”
Voldemort watched
him carefully, “And your Professor never spoke of it to anyone?”
“He’s half-Vampire;
I doubt he’d be telling anyone. He thinks I’m some sort of half-breed as well
so he wouldn’t mention it to anyone else. As he told me ‘half-breeds must stick
together’.”
Draco looked at his
wings with interest, “Can you fly with those?”
Harry opened his
wings, “Not yet, they’re still a bit small for flying. They’re fairly small
when you begin to Transform, I had about three feet of wingspan (foot and a
half per wing) when I first transformed. It’s probably a good thing that they
grow over time though; I’d hate to have say seven foot wings bursting out my
back the first time. There’s no doubt you’d die of blood loss from a
Transformation like that.”
“How often do you
Transform?”
“From what I’ve
noticed, you have to Transform at least once a day, I prefer to do it at night
in the privacy of my bedroom so I don’t have to worry about anyone seeing
them.”
Voldemort eyed him
for a moment, still thinking. “It seems we have much to discuss Potter. I will
Call again tomorrow, we must begin to make arrangements for your demise.”
Harry turned to
stare at Voldemort, his eyes shining brightly. “I will not have my life
directed by you! It’s bad enough I spent two years being trained to be a weapon
unmatched with the sole purpose of destroying you; I will not be used
the same way by you as well! From the moment I was born, my loyalty may
have been yours by blood but my actions are ruled by my mind and that is
something which you have no control over.”
Several of the Inner
Circle stepped forward threateningly but Harry ignored them as he stepped
closer to Voldemort. “Let us be clear on one point Tom, it’s you that
needs me not the other way around. I’m a fully trained Necromancer; if
you try to force my will I will make your very life a living Hell and
make you wish that your mother hadn’t birthed you. It’s true that disobeying
you is painful but pain is pain and my will is strong enough to break over a dozen
Cruciatus Curses, do not think I won’t lash out at you if you give me reason.”
Voldemort grinned,
very amused by Potter’s reaction. “It is you who should be cautious Potter, I
am the one that oversaw the Potion that caused your conception. I am the one
with the information regarding just what you are. You can be as stubborn and insolent
as you like Potter but you will serve me faithfully in the end.”
“We’ll see, Tom,
we’ll see.” Harry snarled eyes locked on crimson orbs. “I will answer your Call
and I will give you the explanations you desire but don’t get your hopes up
about ordering me around. If you Call, it will have to wait until at least
midnight as I cannot leave the premises any earlier...now all of you get the
Hell out of Eagle’s Spire.”

Did it live up to
your expectations? I hope so I certainly tried very hard to make sure Harry
stayed defiant. Like I mentioned before you’ll be seeing their reactions and
what they were thinking in chapter 6 which I am still working on so you
probably will not get an update until the week after Christmas. Happy holidays
and hopefully you got what you wanted for Christmas!
