Isn’t it freakin’ frustrating when you’re the only one who can
see how evil and manipulative someone is, and everyone else is blind to it?

Chapter Six: End of Summer

“Harry! Pleasure to see you – “

“- Our little investor.”

Harry was greeted rather enthusiastically as he stepped out of the Floo at Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes. The twins had closed the shop down for the rest of the day so they could go with Harry to his family Manor. They had to run quite a bit of interference with their parents, they had wanted the boys to come to the Burrow for dinner but they had to lie a little and get their significant others to vouch for them. They would have a lot of explaining to do but at least they would be able to tell Harry that he had another two allies.

“Hey guys, how’s business?” Harry asked after he hugged them.

“It’s booming, even more so than last year.” Fred told him.

“It seems that everyone needs more of a laugh now, with Voldemort being so quiet everyone is on edge.” George added.

“I’m one of them, we’re not too sure yet what he is working on but I’m sure it doesn’t bode well for anyone.”

“Ok, we don’t want depressing thoughts here today. We’ll save that for when we get to your place.” George said as he picked up the bag on the desk that contained the paper work that Harry asked for.

“Alright, to get through you need to say Potter Manor and the password is telly.” Harry informed them as they moved over to the fireplace.

“Remus will be waiting for you when you go through.”

Fred grabbed a handful of Floo powder first and stepped into the grate, in a flash of green he was on his way. Looking around, once he arrived, he noticed that the room he had arrived in was a rather large library. It was nowhere near the size of the Hogwarts library but it was still rather large. He barely had time to great Remus, who was standing by a wall covered in windows, when the Floo activated behind him and his brother exited. Harry came through not long after and ushered them towards the lounges near Remus.

Just as the four wizards sat down, a house elf popped into the room and set down a tray with tea and biscuits on it before popping back out. Harry poured himself a cup of tea and added a bit of milk before sitting back in his chair.

“So Fred, did you bring that list I asked for?”

“Yeah, it’s here in my bag. We wrote down all the defensive products that we have, as well as the ones we’ve been working on.” Fred told him as he picked his bag up from where he had placed it.

“We also have some offensive ones that we were thinking of making, we’re just having a bit of trouble with the potion side of it.” George added as his brother handed the parchment over to Harry.

“The potion part won’t be a problem; Professor Snape has agreed to help us with our little endeavour.” Harry informed the twins as he read over the list.

“That’s great. So, what’s this little endeavour that you have in mind?” Fred asked.

“I want to start the DA up again, Dumbledore is quite content to sit on his ass and let an untrained wizard to fight this war. I plan to win this war and for that to happen I need to be prepared. I know that Hogwarts will be the battle field, Voldemort is that psychotic he won’t care if the school is full of children. If he can conquer Hogwarts then nowhere is safe, he’ll have all of Europe in his control. Once Hogwarts falls it won’t be long before the ministry is taken, I plan on stopping him in his tracks.” Harry told them.

“What can we do to help?” George asked.

“I need you two to work with Professor Snape, show him your ideas and then develop them into useable weapons. Then I’ll need you to come to Hogwarts and explain what they are for and how to use them.” He informed them.

“I’ll be the Defence teacher this year so it will be easier for you to get to the school by using the Floo in my office.” Remus informed the twins.

“Well, you’ll be a right side better than Umbridge ever was, at least the students will learn something and they won’t be tortured during detention.” Fred said as he pulled a piece of parchment and a self-inking quill from his bag so he could right everything down.

“Professor Snape is here for the weekend if you two want to get started, I need to go and do some work on my potions essay that he had the pleasure of assigning all the sixth years. It’s to do with the higher level of potions we’ll be doing as seventh years, your admittance into his seventh year potions class is judged on how well you understand the processes.” Harry told them.

“Yeah, we did that too. The potions in seventh year are more volatile than any other you learn, the Wolfsbane potion will be on the syllabus. Along with several other potions that the professor created like the anti-cruciatus that helps with the after effects of the cruciatus curse. With Fred and I not finishing our seventh year I’m not sure what others you’ll be learning.” George told him as he prepared himself another cup of tea.

“The syllabus is a lot different from when I was in school but there are still potions that I learnt in my seventh year that Severus still teaches now.” Remus added.

“Well, we’ll let you get to it Harry. If you can get someone to show us to where Professor Snape is then we will be on our way.”

Harry called for Harper and asked him to lead the twins to the room in the cellar that had been set up for Snape’s use over the weekend. After the twins left, Remus excused himself and went off to do some more reading.

Harry was left on his own in the library, he summoned the parchment that had the instructions for his potions essay on it. He got up from his seat, after placing the parchment on the table beside his seat, and headed to the section of bookshelves that held the books on potions. He was going to need all the reference he could get his hands on if he was going to get his essay done. Only Professor Snape would assign a three-foot essay for the summer holidays.

“Hey Potter, you up for some company?”

Harry looked up from the potion book he was reading to see Draco standing at the door with his school bag in his arms. Looked like the younger Malfoy wanted to study.

“Sure, Malfoy.”

“You working on your potions essay?” Malfoy asked as he sat on the chair opposite Harry.

“Yeah, I can’t believe Snape would assign us a three-foot long essay for the summer. I thought last year’s summer assignment was bad.” Harry replied as he wrote down a few more points on his parchment.

“It’s the way he is, if you can’t do the assignment he sets then you’re not good enough for his class. Weasley is just one example of that.”

“He only passed half his classes because Hermione was helping him, I’m surprised he made it into potions last year.” Harry added.

“From what you told me about the little deal between the Weasel and Dumbledore, I reckon he’ll be in this year’s potions class just so he can keep an eye on you for the old coot.”

“You’re probably right, Dumbledore will make sure he’s in all my classes. What he doesn’t know is that I dropped Divination and took up Arithmancy, I’m hoping Dumbledore doesn’t discover that little bit until it’s too late for Weasley to change classes.”

“I hope he’s not in Arithmancy, I take that class.” Draco told him as he grabbed one of Harry’s reference books.

“Hey! Get your own books.”

“You’ve got plenty, besides this is the one I need for my essay.”

The two young wizards continued with their school work, playfully bickering back and forth with each other.

“We have the Peruvian Instant Darkness powder, Decoy Detonators and the Jinx Off kit as defensive products. We have been working on expanding that list recently and were hoping that you could help us with the basics.” Fred told the potion master.

“We also have some ideas for some offensive products, some of which require potions. We have an idea as to what we want it to do but we don’t quite know how to go about making the potion required.” George added.

“What offensive ones did you have in mind.”

“Well Harry said that You-Know-Who now has Werewolves and Vampires on his side.” Fred started.

“He does, he spent last year recruiting most of the werewolf population in Europe. He has only just recently formed the alliance with the vampires.” Severus confirmed.

“Right, well we were thinking of coming up with a sort of silver mist potion to use against the werewolves. If You-Know-Who attacks on a full moon, we are screwed unless we can come up with a way to stop them in their tracks.” George explained.

“We also have a potion in mind to deal with the vampires, we don’t want to use a spell because that will most likely make things harder for our side to see anything. We want a way to kill the vampires without causing a problem for the good guys.” Fred added in.

“The silver mist potion should be fairly easy to create, however, the one for the vampires may be a little harder. We will need to find a way to make it work without blinding anyone on our side, that will take a little longer to create.” Severus informed them.

“Well if anyone can help us with this then it’s you, two heads are better than one but three makes things go quicker.” George said as he grabbed some parchment and an ink pot and quill.

“Let’s get started on the basics, what ingredients will be best suited for the potion.” Severus told them as he conjured a stool to sit on.

The Potions Professor may not have liked the Weasley twin’s pranks, having reminded him too much of the ones pulled on him in school, but he did admire their skill with potions. They may have used their talents to wreak havoc within Hogwarts but they are two very bright young men and have the potential for more concerning potions. He knew it would never happen, they were too interested in practical jokes to want to do anything else.

It was a waste of talent as far as he was concerned, however, it looked as though their love for pranks was about to pull off in regards to helping out greatly in the upcoming war. Voldemort tended to under estimate anyone he deemed beneath him and the Weasley twins fell into that category quite well, which was why Harry intended to use their abilities to their full potential. Voldemort and the Death Eaters wouldn’t know what hit them.

Remus still didn’t know what to do about the situation he found himself in, other than Harry no one knew that Lucius Malfoy was his mate. He didn’t know how the blonde aristocrat would react if he found out he was the mate of a monster. Years of hate slung at him from other wizards who were clued in on his monthly condition tended to leave a person weary of people’s reaction towards him.

He had tried to have relationships over the years, the closest he got was a seventh year Ravenclaw boy back in school who only slept with him so that he could add werewolf to the list of who he had slept with. The Ravenclaw boy had lived up to his house legacy and had figured out what Remus was. The seventh year had approached Remus with the knowledge and managed to manipulate the affection starved boy into a one-night stand that had left him feeling dirty and used.

After that he had shied away from any type of intimacy, not knowing what the motive was behind the advances. It led to a very lonely life but it kept his fragile heart in one piece. Losing James and Lilly to the war, as well as Sirius, did a number on him as well. The ministry not allowing him to take custody of Harry was the last straw on the camel’s back, Remus ended up locking himself away from the rest of the world and was well on his way to becoming a hermit when Dumbledore contacted him about the post at Hogwarts.

With promise of the monthly supply of the Wolfsbane potion, he had jumped at the chance to interact with people again. The fear of turning on the students was ever present and it kept him vigilant. That one single lapse in his judgment nearly cost the lives of his friend’s son and friends. He had quit before the parents demanded his removal, or worse his death. He would not let that mistake happen again, nor would he allow himself the happiness he felt he didn’t deserve.

His mate deserved someone normal, someone who didn’t turn into a blood thirsty beast the second the full moon showed itself in the night sky. As much as he would love to feel that completeness a magical creature feels upon being with their mate, he knew he couldn’t subject the elder Malfoy to his inner beast. The man deserved better than that, he deserved better than Remus. He would just continue to wallow in his self-loathing, living in denial that he could ever be worthy of anyone’s love.

Hermione had returned from her holiday with her parents, she had asked them if they could visit Europe for their summer vacation. She had wanted to introduce them to someone who was rather special in her life and she was hoping to get their approval, especially with the age difference between them. Her parents had gotten along rather well with him and it had resulted in a rather fun and informative holiday.

She was now making her way to Weasleys’ Wizard Wheezes to meet up with Harry. The troublesome twin’s shops made for a safer meeting spot because Harry could just Floo straight in without having to travel half the alley to get there. They had much to discuss and she was rather eager to find out what his plans were for the new school year. At least this year she wouldn’t have to help Ronald with his school work, it had begun to be rather tiresome for her to keep helping him.

Upon entering the store, Hermione found it to be filled with customers. Mostly students from Hogwarts wanting to stock up before school started, especially the younger years who wouldn’t be able to visit Hogsmeade.

As the young witch made her way through the throng of customers, she was finally able to spot one of the twins. Whichever one it was subtly pointed his head to the back room that also served as their office and also house the Floo.

As Hermione made her way towards the door leading to where she believed Harry to be, Hermione failed to notice the red head who was watching her every move. As soon as she walked through the door, said red head was quick to follow, only to be blocked by his older brothers who managed to steer the irate wizard away from his destination.

Hermione didn’t see Harry when she first entered the room so she moved further in hoping to spot him hiding in a corner somewhere. She failed to notice the boy saviour until he was right behind her, he poked her in the back and made her jump and let out a rather undignified squeal.

“Harry! You’re an asshole, you almost gave me a heart attack.” Hermione exclaimed.

“I’m sorry, ‘Mione. I just couldn’t help myself.” The young wizard said after he managed to stop laughing.

“You have been hanging around Fred and George way too much, you’re starting to pick up their bad habits.”

“It’s all in good fun. Besides you need to learn to pay attention to your surroundings instead of walking into a semi-dark room you have never been in before. Anyone could be waiting for you.” Harry told her.

“Sorry, I wasn’t thinking. I was just excited to see you, I’m really glad you are okay and that Professor Dumbledore hasn’t managed to get you back to Privet Drive.”

“Not for a lack of trying, he has his little Order lackey’s always on the lookout for me. Last time I was here he had two of them following me but I managed to give them the slip.” Harry informed her as they both took a seat at the table.

“I’m sorry I didn’t get to send you that book I said that I’d send. I was busy over the summer and I completely forgot.”

“It’s okay, Hermione. I found a book in the library at my family home, it explained everything I needed to know. It also filled me in on a few other laws I didn’t know about.”

“Your family home?”

“Yeah, I have a lot to explain. It wasn’t safe to put any of this into a letter to you just in case Dumbledore was monitoring your mail.”

“That’s okay, Harry. You can tell me everything now.” Hermione assured him.

“Well for me to tell you everything we need to go to my home. It wouldn’t surprise me if Dumbledore had listening spells in this shop.”

“Alright, then you can show me this library you were talking about.”

“Do you ever think of anything other than books?” Harry asked her as he led her towards the Floo.

“Of course I do; I just know what to expect from the library of a Pure-blood family. The one at Grimmauld place was extensive and I never got around to reading even a quarter of them.” Hermione told him.

“Trust me, the library in Sirius’ home doesn’t even compare to the size of the one in my family Manor. Even Draco said that his family library was not even that big.”

“Wait, do you mean Draco Malfoy?” Hermione asked him, as far as she knew the two wizards hated each other.

“Don’t worry, I’ll explain everything when we get to the Manor. You’ll find what I have to say to be very interesting. Remus is there as well so you will be able to catch up with him as well.”

With her curiosity peaked, Hermione followed Harry’s instructions on how to get to his family home. She could tell that the conversation to follow would be very enlightening indeed. She couldn’t wait to find out more.
