Pairing: Yaoi M/M, Harem – top Harry x bottoms Draco / Tom (TMR) / Cedric
Last Time:
Brian smiled and kissed Julian’s forehead “nothing is wrong. You just gained a rare trait from my family” he said calmly. It just figures the child that has a major trust issue with magic suddenly gains the ability to see auras …
XXXXXXXXXX
Stephen smiled as he sat down on the floor next to the small child “hello Julian. You wouldn’t remember me, but I met you when you were first brought to Australia”
“you did?” Julian looked up shyly.
“yep! I’m Stephen and I teach at the same school your Daddy works at” the dark skinned wizard grinned at he small child.
“really?” the little boy’s eyes widened with curiosity.
Severus raised an eyebrow as Julian relaxed very quickly for being around someone new “odd … he has a unique gift” he commented as he watched the interaction between the dark skinned teacher and child from the kitchen.
Brian leaned against the counter top and nodded “Stephen is empathic so he can read peoples’ feeling and, to an extent, make people relax. He teaches the M&M class for kids and extra sensory classes. I asked him to talk to Julian and help him gain control”
“control of what exactly?” Severus asked. It had only been one day since the adoption closed and Brian contacted him through Gringotts saying there was a simple change in Julian. Despite the fact the letter said everything was fine and that a professional was contacted Severus made a point of leaving the second the potion he had brewing was done. He somehow managed to get there before Stephen …
Brian grinned sheepishly “right, I never said … Julian inherited the ability to see auras from my family. I figured I should tell you before you tried dropping by and saw him panic”
A frown found its way to the potion master’s face “seeing auras …” he sighed as he recalled how the poor boy reacted to the simple scan at Gringotts. The runes were enough to scare the boy so he could only imagine how Julian felt when he woke up and suddenly saw auras … he must’ve been terrified.
“now this, Julian, is a color wheel” Stephen said as he pulled out a plastic circle that went from nearly black on the outer edges to brighter shade by shade as you went to the white center and had a little lens made of glass stuck to the circle “now the first step is to learn which color means what. Take a look at your Daddy and tell me what you see”
Julian nodded and turned to Brian “lots of blues and a little red”
“yeah, that makes sense” Stephen chuckled and pointed to the blue section and tapped it making a little word appear in the lens that shifted to the blue section. The little word in the magnifying lens was ‘calm’ “blues are calm, but lots of different blues means he can be lighthearted and curious. Your Daddy is very accepting of other people’s ideas. Red means temper. If by some chance your Dad gets angry it is strong, but you said a little red so he doesn’t get mad easily or very often. Now what about your godfather here?”
The pretty green eyes turned to look at Severus “red … lots of red and little black dots, but its really … it doesn’t fly around like Daddy’s”
Stephen frowned glanced at the potion master as if asking permission before he explained. Severus wasn’t an idiot. He knew where this was going and nodded knowing Julian would learn this eventually “ok … Julian you made a good point. Lets first look at colors then the aura shape. Red was temper. Severus is easily angered by certain things and he is very strict, but this is where the shape comes in. You said his aura doesn’t fly around, but you do mean its more like a glow?” Julian nodded as he glanced at Severus almost nervously as the man would be mad at him “that’s good. The tight aura you see, Julian, is a sign that he has very good control. Severus here won’t go flying off the handle no matter how mad he gets. Your Daddy isn’t so controlled, but he’s very laid back. Now what about me?”
The little boy pouted slightly knowing that the black dots were ignored, but he was too scared to question an adult “green and blue … and it’s swaying”
“green is a color that is close to blue, but I’m more grounded … I’m laid back, but really not the curious or adventurous sort like your Daddy. Swaying in an aura is a sign of control, but no where near the level of control Severus has. Are you ready to see your aura?” Stephen asked knowing the little boy probably wouldn’t want to see the aura around him. The boy was clearly trying not to look at his own body …
Julian looked reluctant, but after a couple minutes he nodded shakily and Brian walked out of the kitchen with a little hand held mirror. The headmaster had tried to get Julian calm enough to at least see his own reflection, but when Julian refused Brian didn’t push it and that’s when he called Stephen. He gave Julian the mirror and the adults waited for the boy to relax enough to look into the reflective surface.
“lots of black dots, white, some pink and yellow … it’s prickly too” Julian tilted his head in confusion and touched the spot on his head where his lightening bolt scar used to be “this spot is different … it has black spots, but its gray and yellow”
“Julian could you touch my hand so I can see what you see?” the empathic wizard looked unconcern, but he actually was disturbed by the statement. The child’s hand touched his hand and the empath had a vision. Stephen shrugged it off as if it was nothing “it’s probably nothing. As for your colors white is purity. All children have an aura that’s mostly white and it will change as you grow up. Yellow is fear or uncertainty, but pink is the color of love or trust. Do you know why you’re pink?” Stephen chuckled as the boy smiled shyly and pointed at his Daddy who smiled and sat down next to Julian “I’m not surprised … now for the black dots … the best way to describe them is to call them scars on the soul. The dots are evidence that you went through something terrible or very sad or that someone hurt you and you never truly healed. There’s more to your new sight and if you want I can teach you”
Julian nodded with a shy smile “yes please”
“not right now though. We can discuss this after lunch. Why don’t you color for a while as I make lunch?” Brian suggested.
“ok Daddy” Julian said softly as he went upstairs to get some coloring supplies and Mickey.
Severus glanced in the direction the boy went before he shot the empathic wizard a look. Stephen nodded and got up with Brian pretending to help make lunch. It wasn’t until Julian was in sight again and happily coloring that the headmaster flicked his wand to muffle their voices. Only muffle since complete silence might freak the boy out …
“that wasn’t nothing was it?” Brian asked as he started cutting some veggies.
The dark skinned wizard frowned “Julian has a horcrux in his scar”
“what in Merlin’s name is a horcrux?” Severus questioned a bit harsher than necessary, but this was Julian they were talking about. He was already feeling protective …
Brian glanced at Severus “blimey … the magical UK is frighteningly lacking in information. A horcrux is an object that contains a piece of someone’s soul. Usually it’s an inanimate object that the soul sliver can easily latch onto meaning it held a special significance for the person making the horcrux. A person would murder someone or suffer extreme trauma to break off a piece of their soul and place the soul sliver into the chosen object turning it into a horcrux in order to bind their soul to this world. An artificial immortality … it’s relatively rare for it to be a living object, but it happens” he explained and saw Severus consider this before paling … he clearly realized who’s soul piece it was “my thoughts exactly”
“a simple soul scan can find it and it can be removed- … what? What am I missing?” Stephen blinked in confusion as both other wizards looked concerned.
“unfortunately a soul scan isn’t possible right now” Brian sighed as he placed some cheese on the food “the goblins tried yesterday, but they can’t see through the bindings on his magic to do the test-”
“bindings?!” Stephen gaped.
It was horrifying to think someone would constrict such a gift. Stephen couldn’t imagine why anyone would. He spent his much of his life teaching and helping children use their own powers and giving them stability, but now this. There are very few moments that Stephen feels angry, but this is definitely one of them.
At that moment Julian looked up at the sudden shift in the calm man’s aura. The flash of red was hard to miss, but even when it calmed down Julian kept watching the adults talk. One thing was weird … he couldn’t hear the words properly. The child, who came from an abusive home and depended on knowing what was going on when people were angry, became frustrated, which unleashed a bit of accidental. The magic clashed with Brian’s muffling charm and broke it …
Brian just finished explaining what happened at Gringotts just in time for his son to unknowingly start listening in on them “-we can’t do a soul scan until the bindings are removed and that can’t be done until Julian is strong enough to handle it”
“so we can’t do anything about that piece of that dark wizard’s soul in his forehead … that should be fine. Soul fragments are weak and the soul seems harmless” Stephen said casually.
The potion master was not amused by this news “harmless is not a word to describe that mad man. I was a Death Eater. I know how sick he was and he became worse every day. Those who were actually loyal to him did everything to stay on his good side or they would suffer too. If the fact I was a spy got out or was even suspected I would’ve been tortured and killed … that thing should be taken away and destroyed before it hurts Julian”
The little boy flinched at the potion master’s harsh tone. He touched his forehead wondering about the person who left the piece of soul in his head. A quick glance at the color wheel made him curious. With careful movements he tapped the gray section, which was the color not described and the little magnifying lens moved over the gray section …
Sad … the word that popped up in the glass was ‘sad’, but that was confusing. Julian tapped the yellow he saw in the unusual soul piece even though that color was explained already. The lens moved again …
Afraid … what Stephen said was true, but why would someone sad and afraid be dangerous to him?
“Severus … what you described is exactly what happens when someone makes a horcrux and never gets treated. That means that the dark lord you feared isn’t actually insane. His body was suffering the side effects from a fractured soul … you heard what Julian said. The true dark lord’s feelings are fear and sadness, which is represented by yellow and gray” Stephen said he helped get some dishes.
A disturbing thought crossed Severus’s mind as he considered this new information “you mean … an entire war happened because one person didn’t receive treatment … what other cases of this do you know of? You said murder or trauma can break a soul so could it have been completelyunintentional from the beginning?”
Brian pulled his toasted sandwiches out of the oven and let them cool as he cut some fruit “the process is normally started by murdering someone, but it can be unintentional too. Young people who suffer a horrible loss or traumatic childhood or simply believe they killed someone can shatter their soul without them knowing. Well an abusive childhood isn’t enough otherwise you’d see far more instances of this, but it is normally seen in those people. After the split everything goes slowly down hill and they may accidentally make more even if they don’t want to”
“so we don’t have to hurt him right?” the three adults blinked and looked down at Julian who somehow snuck up on them. It didn’t take much to realize that the little boy broke the muffling charm “right Daddy?” Julian looked up at them with big pleading green eyes. Severus may have been terrified of the thought that Voldemort was still alive, but even he gave up fighting those green eyes.
“no Julian, when you’re strong enough we’ll get the soul fragment removed and placed into a protective orb so this man can be treated properly, ok?” Julian smiled at his Daddy “brilliant, lets have lunch. Come join us Severus. With our schools starting up again soon we need to consider some things. Especially if you want to be here for the binding removal”
A month passed and Stephen came by and taught Julian every other day. The little boy was learning fast for he was already starting to control what he sees. The ability to see auras is apparently only the beginning. As he learned to focus his mind using some meditation exercises that made the distracting colors gradually lessen so Julian could shift to sensing them instead. Normally starting this class in school reveals powers like seeing auras, but Julian developed early, which is why Stephen insisted on teaching the boy right away.
The exercises were interesting … Severus was shocked to see that they were basically Occlumency for kids. Stephen had to explain that children learn the ‘difficult’ skill infinitely better than anyone over the age 10, which was amazing to hear. The M&M class, Mind and Magic, was taught to five year olds and it was the supposedly difficult art of Occlumency, but just in more depth than plain mental shields. Severus was very intrigued with this and began looking into all the information that wasn’t available in the UK, which was a lot …
Over the next few weeks Brian became busy with the duties of a headmaster. He did manage to give several of his duties to Greg Goldman so he could care for Julian, but it was tricky with the meetings. Severus actually came by to watch Julian once in a while despite his teaching duties. In fact, he used grading papers and brewing as an excuse so no one in the UK would bother him. Apparently no one spends much time around the professor so he had time as long as he got those things done.
That, however, made it easy for Severus to secretly check on Ms. Figg and the Dursleys to make sure they were doing their parts. The Dursleys always cashed the money they got and Ms. Figg always sent in the monthly report so Dumbledore hasn’t suspected anything yet. When Severus gave Dumbledore the potions he wanted he noticed Ms. Figg’s neighbors started acting more friendly … it was clear to the spy that she was using the loyalty potions on them …
Frankly he didn’t care. Once people noticed Julian wasn’t going to be at Hogwarts the loyalty potions will stop being made and slowly wear off. Then the former Death Eater will reveal himself to those foolish muggles and that squib …
By the time Christmas came around Julian was deemed healthy enough for the bindings on his magic to be removed …
XXXXXXXXXX
Severus looked up from his desk as someone flooed into his office unannounced “Lucius … to what do I owe this pleasure?” he said hiding the irritation he felt. He had to be at the Australian Gringotts in a few minutes so he didn’t feel like wasting time on the arrogant Malfoy who didn’t even tell him about having a son despite claiming they were friends. If it wasn’t for Narcissa asking for child fever potions he would never have known about Draco. It made him wonder if Lucius, a truly loyal Death Eater, suspected that the potion master was a spy and resented him for it … he was very tempted to tell the pureblood that his dark lord wasn’t evil, but he restrained himself … for now at least.
“Narcissa asked for you to join us during our winter party. It will be the day before Christmas Eve” Lucius’s eyes narrowed as he looked closer at the professor “have you been getting out more?”
“yes, why?” Severus asked genuinely confused as to how the man knew.
“you seem to have gotten some sun. You’re less pale” Lucius said almost suspiciously.
The potion master snorted “I became irritated with the subpar brewing equipment and the dunderheads wasting my time so I found better accommodations, which are apparently sunnier as well”
Yes, the potions lab in the tree house section near Brian’s office was excellent …
Lucius quirked an eyebrow “subpar you say? … perhaps I should make a donation”
“indeed” Severus mentally rolled his eyes knowing full well that this donation wouldn’t appear until Draco was in school “do tell Narcissa that I will come to the party” with that the blonde pureblood left through the floo’s green flames.
Finally Severus was allowed to leave. With a simple spell to shrink his papers and put them in his potions bag he flooed to the Australian branch of Gringotts with his bag in hand. He wanted to be prepared in case Julian needed anything. According to the information he researched in Brian’s library it can be painful to remove bindings even if the person is young and there hasn’t been enough time for their magic to build up. Julian has some very expressive accidental magic so this could hurt.
Barely a few steps out of the floo and into the more muggle office like building Severus heard a little voice “Uncle Sev”
Severus smiled as he saw Julian come over to him and kneeled in order to hug him. It’s good to see that the boy’s fear of touch has diminished a great deal over the last months “hello Julian, are you ready?” he asked as Brian got up from the seat not far away and he and Aster went over to them.
“yeah, but I couldn’t bring Mickey“ Julian pouted sadly at not being able to have the plush with him.
Brian frowned “I know you miss him, but the binding removal could mess with his charms …I checked us in with the goblins. They gave us room 2800 on the under ground floor 200. We just take the elevator down” Brian explained as he scooped up the little boy and lead the way.
It was interesting to see the differences between Gringotts. One Gringotts has a deadly boat ride through levels and vaults, whereas, the other has a magical elevator that has a deadly free fall speed as it goes through the lower levels. Julian freaked out a little, but he was fine. The other differences Severus noticed was that this Gringotts gave out credit cards instead of keys in order to blend in with muggles. Plus the goblins were different in colors. In Australia goblins ranged from dark red to brown to black and had horns unlike the UK Gringotts goblins … and they seemed less abrasive than other goblins.
“the White party I presume” said the brown goblin wearing a suit that came over to them as they recovered from the elevator ride. Brian simply nodded as he comforted Julian who shaking a little “very good, I am Daggerfang, the goblin now managing the Potter accounts and assisting Bloodbarrel with the binding removal. Please follow me” the three adults and child followed the goblin to the room where they will remove the bindings. Waiting there in the stone room was a red goblin that Brian knew because this goblin handled the White vaults “now Julian you see this circle carved in the floor? We’re going to have you sit in the middle and we’ll put a numbing spell on you. Tell us if feel anything”
The potion master noticed the numbing spell and recalled the research he did. This spell was built off the nerve attacking power of the torture curse and it was effective. Severus sat in the chairs provided and watched as the goblins started the ritual. He didn’t show it, but he was just as nervous as Brian and Aster. Though Julian didn’t feel anything he was twitching as if he was.
“my eyes itch” Julian said not realizing his eyes were bleeding.
Bloodbarrel frowned at the sight of the blood “10 seconds left little human” he noticed the tall potion master start pulling out potions ready to help the healer take care of the boy, which was good. Julian would be sore for a while if he didn’t have such caring guardians. Actually he was surprised Brian managed to keep himself from jumping into the circle to get his son … although the pale look on the headmaster’s face meant he wouldn’t stop himself for long.
The very second the ritual stopped the little boy was swarmed by the adults. Brian got there first and picked up the little boy as Severus and Aster got ready to check him over. Julian was limp, but was alert. Beyond some minor muscle strain he was fine. Even his eyes were fine. Aster’s healing spells showed that the bleeding was just strain from the magic flooding his system. A blood restoring potion, a pain reliever and some healing spells and Julian would be fine even after the numbing spell wears off.
After that the goblins pulled out a plank of solid wood with runes carved in it and placed it in the center of the circle where Julian was just a moment ago. It was finally time for the soul scan and the results were as expected …
Julian had a horcux …
The solution was faster that the scan. Daggerfang pulled a necklace out of his pocket. It was a simple gold chain with a small marble sixed glass orb hanging from it. If you looked closely to the part holding the orb to the chain you could see runes etched into the metal. The glass orb was tapped against the child’s forehead right where the horcrux was and the runes glowed. Julian felt nothing, but when the goblin pulled back he could almost see the little fragment swimming around in the orb.
The little boy fell asleep for a second time during a Gringotts visit, but left with a necklace carrying a piece of a soul. Sadly for Brian, however, Silvia and Sophia heard about the bindings removal and aren’t happy that they were left out … even if they were in America for a conference and Brian didn’t want to bother them. They were out for revenge …
That means Brian had better be careful and Severus too if they find him. Although the UK potions master has been wanting to meet the Australian potion masters who made the potions for Julian so … lets hope it ends well …
