Chapter 53
Earlier in the day, it was relaxing, almost enjoyable; but now it was time to get back to the tasks at hand. With the festivities and Christmas being officially over, Tom needed to steer everyone into getting ready for the last couple days of the month. In five days, Harry would be making his presence know to all the Death Eaters, then not even a day later he would be starting the age acceleration potion. As long as the tests came back favorably. That didn’t include them leaving again to head back to Hogwarts on the first. So much to do and so little time, but he knew that once the Enrai was found, everything would be moving at a faster pace; so he would have to just be even quicker to make sure everything got done.
He glanced over all the Elves present, stopping on the newest one; Bellatrix didn’t know what kind she was. Saying something that they may never figure it out; it was a fluke that she was able to handle the breaking of her magical core. Either was Mrs. Granger was now one of them, and he would protect her just as he had done for every other Elf under his leadership.
“I will keep this short; I know everyone is tired this evening. Basically informing everyone at the same time so I will not be pestered with questions over the next couple of days. On the 30th Harry and Draco will be attending the Death Eaters meeting. Then on the following day Harry will begin the potion…” A clamor arose with his latest words making him speak louder to be heard over everyone. “He will begin taking the potion as long as it safe to do so. I am sure Severus and Bellatrix will be able to manage the tests that will need to be done over the six days.”
Looking at Severus, the Elf had always been pale, but lately it had become worse; the strain of everything that he pushed onto Severus looked to be taking its toll on the Elf. But there was no helping it, many projects could only be handled by the dour Elf and this was another one. “Severus, you will also need to find the time to teach Mrs. Granger how to construct glamour, we cannot have her traversing Hogwarts halls with the way she looks.”
“There are better Elves that can teach her, than myself. Rabastion has the patience and the time to accomplish this task.” Severus said.
“Because you were the one who left a potion out for a far too curious witch to use…” He let the soft sibilant tones that many of his people hated and feared, come into his voice, knowing that it would cause a shiver to run through Severus when he heard it. Regardless of what Severus thought or felt about the situation it would be good for him in the long run.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry sat back watching both Tom and Severus argue about who was going teach Hermione how to construct a glamour. The whole time playing with the ring that hung on his neck, enjoying the way it felt under his fingertips. He would have to be careful once he was back at Hogwarts, not even a day had passed and he couldn’t stop touching the gift that Draco gave him.
“Enough…The discussion is closed you will be the one to teach her…” Tom’s voice had deteriorated to the point that he sounded more snake than man; he wondered how anyone but him could understand the hissing that overlaid the actual words Tom spoke.
“If there are no other matters that need to be discussed I will close this meeting.” Tom looked at him eyes flashing red with how aggravated Severus made him. “Harry I will see you first thing in the morning so we can discuss the upcoming events.”
Harry turned his head when he heard the scraping of a chair as someone else stood. Glancing up at Remus who was looking at Tom when he spoke. “I have one more thing to add.” Sirius stood up next to Remus placing a hand on his shoulder.
Tom waved his hand as he sat back into his chair, looking older than an Elf his age should look. “You may proceed.”
Sirius grinned and placed a hand on his stomach as Remus began speaking. “Neither Sirius or myself will be available for any missions. My mate is expecting…”
Harry jumped from his chair, Sirius was pregnant? The uncontrollable godfather he had known for three years was going to be a parent? Looking from the small smile on his godfather, and beaming smile that Remus gave everyone; it had to be true. Running over to his godfather, he wanted to be the first person to congratulate the two. “You really are…” He lifted a shaky hand wanting to place it on Sirius stomach, to see if there really was a life growing in there.
Sirius smiled at him, grabbing his fingers placing them over his stomach before looking back at him nodding his head yes. “We talked about it…Harry we want you to be one of the godparents for this little one.”
He gasped looking up into Sirius eyes, his own making it hard to see. A pair of arms circled around him from behind, and a voice answered for him. “I am sure my mate would be honored, and when he can talk again…He will say the same thing.” He smiled closing his eyes, in the attempt to control the tears that wanted to fall; nodding his head yes. He couldn’t think of a greater honor than being named one of the godparents for the little one that had yet to be born.
Opening his eyes revealed the steel colored ones of his mates; also looking a little shiny. Giving Draco a small smile in gratitude for what he did earlier, he looked over to the soon to be parents as they received congratulations from everyone else. At least this child would be brought up in a loving environment, and he would make sure of it.

December 28th
Severus walked back up from the dungeons; having given the second dose to the vile creature that was Harry’s cousin. Everything went accordingly, neither of the muggles had died, but he did have to cut the boys pain short when he also administered the pain potion as well. Testing to see if either potion; working together would cause any unsavory results.
“Professor? What are you doing here?” Couldn’t Hermione leave him alone for ten minutes? For the last three days, he had been in her company, teaching and testing the potion. All he needed was a little bit of time to be able to final test, but she still followed him here.
With the best sneer he could muster, sarcasm dripping with every word. “What are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you to finish testing the second does on those rats?” Looking over her face, she had dropped her glamour again; didn’t she know she only had four more days to perfect it? Reaching out he flicked one of her pointed ears, making her flinch. “What are these doing out?”
Hermione crossed her arms taking a step back from his reach. “Answer my question first, and I may answer yours…I heard a boy screaming shouldn’t we help?”
Why does she always have to stick her nose into everything? Nothing could be sacred with her around; maybe if he scared her enough she would leave him alone. “That boy was Harry’s cousin…The same cousin who likes to use him as a punching bag. He is being used as another test subject for the potion…”
She narrowed her eyes, looking down the hallway to the groaning that could still be heard. “Good…” Turning she went to walk back up the stairs, leaving him to stare after her.
Clearly she didn’t understand what he had just said. Taking quick steps, his long stride easily catching up to the smaller Elf. “What do you mean…Good? I thought you would disapprove of any kind of torture?”
Hermione stopped giving him a look, almost reminiscent of one that Aubrey would use when she looked down on someone. “Anyone who hurts Harry deserves what you do to them…”
Her words made him bristle, his muscles tightening in aggravation; saying through clinched teeth. “I think your level of…Devotion…To Harry is uncommon, if Draco was to catch wind of it, I am sure he would have something to say.”
Anger had her standing straighter and her steps quicker, “Draco knows, and my…Devotion as you call it…Is that of a sister nothing more.”
Not wanting to get into another debate of words, a subject that she seemed to enjoy; he relaxed his shoulders asking, “You never answered my question.”
“I have already tested all the rats, all of which have survived. And I am tired and couldn’t hold the glamour anymore…” She seemed to sigh in relief to get off the latest topic and to be starting a new one.
“Did I not tell you that you were using too much magic to hold the glamour? You only need a miniscule amount for it to stay in place…”
Hermione hushed him, waving her hand in his face, “I know, so I will try again tomorrow, tonight I am heading to bed to rest…” She walked off leaving him standing there again to stare after her back
“Good night…Hermione…” At least he remembered to say the last part in a whisper. It would do no good if she had heard him say her name.

December 30th
The last couple of days had been peaceful, spending his days talking to his grandmother and the soon to be parents. Usually spending his mornings with Tom and Draco going over what would happen, and what he would need to do. Every day the list kept getting longer; didn’t Tom know that he did better when he winged it? Even Draco was better, the evenings being spent with his mate, exploring each other, and talking about the future. At times it seemed Draco was more excited about the baby coming than he was; a smile gracing the blonds features every time he would play with the ring, then glancing down at his flat belly. He knew what his mate was thinking, but it was too soon to start a family; he wanted to finish school first, take care the Dumbledore problem, then unite the his two worlds. Right now a child didn’t figure into that mix. First however was to get through this meeting.
Butterflies rolled in stomach as he heard Tom addressing the Death Eaters, Draco by his side, holding his hand in an effort to calm him down. What was he thinking when he said he wanted to do this? He was about to walk into a room full of people who wanted to kill him. His only hope was that Tom could control any situation that would arise. Well not just Tom but every member of the Inner Circle would be there; even Sirius, who argued that he would not be left behind while his precious godson went into a wolves den. That pregnant or not pregnant; he would be there, whether Remus liked or not. Another argument was the fact that he refused to wear the white mask, that he would not going to go in there hiding; when the purpose of doing this was for the Death Eaters to know he was working with Tom. So he compromised, he was now wearing a cloak, with the hood up covering over half of his face. It made walking hard, but if he kept his head down and watched the footsteps of Draco in front of him; he will be fine. At least he hoped so, falling in front of them was something that he didn’t want to do.
“I am pleased everyone listened to the summons and brought their children with them. I have a special treat for everyone…” Tom’s voice carried through the door, loud enough he could hear the hissing tones underlain with the words. Another boost of confidence was he was able to bring Tithen, the snakeling wrapped loosely around his neck, making lazy passes as it waited along with him.
“I have decided to add to the Inner Circle, increasing the number by two members…” Harry could hear the increase in noise as the Death Eaters began talking among themselves. He knew this was the first time anyone had seen this, as Tom kept the number to those of the First Warriors and only them.
“Silence!” He even flinched as Tom controlled the room with his voice alone. “You all are about to whiteness a momentous occasion, and as such should honor it without your horrible noise…” Behind the doors, grew quiet as everyone stayed silent. “Now make room so my newest members can make their way up so they can join their brethren.”
That was the signal, Draco stepped forward, opening both doors at once; using enough strength causing them to crash into the walls. The resounding crash making everyone in the room jump back. Did the blond always have to make an entrance, going in quietly would have worked just fine. He kept his head down as he followed Draco through the room, looking at the many feet that lined the walkway as he slowly made his way up the platform. Standing to the side of Tom he didn’t dare look up yet; waiting for Tom to continue his speech.
A quiet hissing drew his attention, “Are you well?” Looking over to Tom, showed that even in this situation he was still concerned for his well being.
“I will be alright.” He hissed back, watching as Tom narrowed his eyes into slits as he looked over the people assembled.
“Today Draco Malfoy, will be joining his father in the ranks of my Inner Circle.” Harry didn’t need to see his mate to know he would be smirking over the assembled Death Eaters; lording over the fact that he attained a status his peers would never reach. “He will not be marked till after this summer, but everyone here will give him the respect that he deserves.”
“As of today all attempts on Harry Potter’s life will cease!...” The noise in the room rose as everyone shouted their disbelief, some voices louder than the others, as they tried to sway their lord. “I said…Silence! I should not have to give you a reason, but in this case I am being lenient.” Hands appeared in front of his face as Harry looked up so his eyes would meet everyone’s when Tom drew back the hood of his cloak. “As of today, Harry Potter will be one of my Inner Circle.”
He looked over the shocked faces of all the Death Eaters; he couldn’t believe Tom was able to gain this many from the Wizarding World. If he had gone along with Dumbledore’s plan how could he have ever defeated Tom with the force he saw today?
One shriek pierced through the silence, the volume sending nails into his brain. “Why would the Dark Lord ever work with the boy who wouldn’t die? He is nothing but a mudblood…Someone who shouldn’t even be in our presence…” Before he knew what was happening, Pansy raised her wand, towards him.
It all happened too fast for his eyes to register, the Inner Circle came forward surrounding him, as Draco rushed forward to the witch who didn’t know when to shut up. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Tom also raised his wand; his lips already forming the spell that would torture Pansy. Side stepping what was Lucius, the only way to be able to tell was the silver blond hair that spilled out behind the mask. He walked over to Tom, standing directly in front of the pointed wand. “This is not the way, if I do not handle this on my own then this whole fiasco is for nothing.”
Tom lowered his arm, “Fine, handle it your way…”
Harry walked over to Pansy, who was being held off of the ground by Draco as he held back from killing her. Laying his hand on the clinched fist of his mate, he lowered Draco’s arm bringing the witch back to her feet. Still not wanting anything to slide Draco said before letting her go, “You will never refer to Harry as a mudblood, you have no idea how far above your measly status he is…” Draco released his fist, and Pansy crashed to the ground as her knees buckled.
Bending at his waist, peering into her frightened eyes, he whispered, “I just saved you life today…I suggest you learn when to keep your mouth shut.” The witch at his feet whimpered as he walked back up to Tom.
Tom spoke, “This meeting is over, leave my presence and go back into your holes…You have proven that you are unworthy to be in my sight.” Tom walked out of the room followed by the Inner Circle. Hearing Pansy’s parents yelling at her on how stupid her actions were today, Had him cringing on her behave.
It didn’t turn out as he expected, and some things were going to change; one of those was how easy Tom would use Crucio. Scarring the Death Eaters into submission he could almost understand, but torture would not be accepted. Another was how easy Draco riled now; it couldn’t be like this when they went back to Hogwarts. He saw many long discussions in his future, none of which he was looking forward to having.
