(I’m thinking)
“I’m speaking”
Pairing: Yaoi M/M, Harem – top Harry x bottoms Fred / George / Albus / Gellert / Severus / Tom (TMR)
Last Time:
The young creature drank the usual amount of blood, but noticed his thirst wasn’t quenched like usual “Dad … I-I think …” Hagrid gave an understanding smile and filled the mug again with a his blood reserves in the back of the hut …
XXXXXXXXXX
“don’t think on it too much Michael. I’m sure Harry didn’t deliberately get you into trouble. He was told to document everything with that camera thing right?” James said trying to cheer Michael up. The young wizard has been in a funk since the fieldtrip a few days ago, which is why he brought his son to his living quarters for a good talk to clear the air.
“yeah, but he didn’t have to! He could’ve turned it to some other thing in that museum and ignored me! Now I can’t go any trips until after Christmas break … and he left it in the video for class too” Michael said seething in anger and humiliation. The entire week was spent looking at that tape of the trip to discuss all the items on it and each day Michael had to see his ass getting dragged away by the greasy git professor.
James tried to chuckle, but it came out slightly nervous instead of upbeat “you can’t blame Harry really since Snape would’ve just given up a memory instead so you still would’ve been punished … and you did punch Harry. A lot of people saw that you know. I did try to suggest removing the part from the video when they Harry can edit it, but Snape said it was the perfect example of what muggle things can do. I think this was said in class already, but Snape used a ‘not notice me’ spell as he dragged you away. The muggles didn’t see it, but the camera caught it easily and that’s the reason they kept it. You know, you actually helped in class” James said and was happy to see Michael perk up a bit.
“I guess … but I’m still doing detention everyday with Filch” Michael grumbled.
“true, but it won’t be that bad and the headmistress said if you behave then you’ll be let off once Christmas break starts and will be allowed to go on trips” James feeling very supportive of his and confident with his parenting skills … though he should’ve stopped talking right there and maybe a good lesson would’ve been learned, but he didn’t “of course if you feel the need to play a prank just don’t get caught” James said with a wink. It was just supposed to be a joke, but that’s not how it was taken “goodnight Michael. Go get some sleep”
“night Dad” Michael called out as his Dad went to get ready for bed. As he was leaving he spotted his Dad’s keys to the Qudditch locker rooms in the open desk drawer (I can’t let him get away with what he has done to me. My dear brother will learn his place soon enough) he thought with a smirk as he grabbed the keys and quietly shut the drawer so his Dad wouldn’t see them missing.
With an swagger in his step he slipped back into his dorm room that he shared with five other boys including Ron, Fred and George. They all had some fun with various candies and get ready for bed, but Michael only pretended to sleep as he waited for everyone else to drift to sleep. It was no surprise to see the twins slip out of the dorm since they frequently play pranks. The older students actually pay them for hilarious pranks to lift peoples spirits or to get revenge on a bully. That’s what inspired them to work in their own joke shop, which would be awesome in Michael’s opinion. He would’ve paid the twins to do this, but they were clearly quite taken with Harry for some unknown reason … it’s not like Harry was better than him. It was fine though since he grew up with the famous pranksters called the Marauders. His father and godfathers taught him everything that he needs. Now it was time for his own prank …
Just like James’ father did for him Michael was given the invisibility cloak when his Hogwarts letter came. It’s possible that the intent was to protect the heirs of the Potter family during emergencies, but it wasn’t used for that … not by James and not by Michael.
With the cloak draped over him and keys in hand he left the dorm. Traveling through the dark halls of Hogwarts at night was like walking into a scary dark different world, but he sucked it up and continued on. He went outside and moved across the grass all the way to the Quidditch field. It was easy to get into the shared rooms, but he couldn’t mess with the locker rooms. He vaguely remembered his Dad saying that the showers and changing areas were warded for privacy so he can’t go there, but he can mess with the bludgers.
The box in the center of the room was opened revealing the four Quidditch balls though the snitch was locked away in its little compartment. Michael pointed his wand at the bludgers and cursed both. The curse won’t do anything until he gives a signal, but this wasn’t enough for Michael …
(the Quidditch match isn’t until Saturday … the day after tomorrow … no, that’s too far away. I want something for tomorrow) Michael thought as he slinked away from the Quidditch field. That’s when he remembered the fact that tomorrow was the class in potion. A class that has a pantry filled with easily accessible and dangerous ingredients. Anything could happen …
XXXXXXXXXX
“today we will be brewing in pairs and for everyone’s safety I would suggest you two not pair” Severus announced to his class as he shot Ron and Michael a look.
Ron wasn’t bad at potions. Perhaps about average due to a little extra help from his brothers, but him and Michael together would be a disaster … Michael with anyone not in the top ten students would be a disaster. Most of the better brewers were Slytherin and that can’t happen since, unlike Harry, Michael is just as bigoted as James. Severus couldn’t let his snakes deal with that kind of idiocy and after that punching incident he’ll never let Harry near Michael. In the end he placed Michael with two of the better Gryffindors making the second of two teams of three …
All the others paired off with other students and started getting things together. The cauldrons were, of course, the first to get to the table. Each were filled with water and set on the burners to heat up. Everything was going fine until Harry, who was paired with Draco, went into the pantry. It was taking longer than it should and soon Draco went in after the fellow Slytherin … and nearly ran out and up to Severus …
“Professor Snape someone hexed the top shelf. If Harry moves it’ll fall on him” Draco hissed quietly so no one will overhear.
Severus’s eyes narrowed dangerously and swiftly made his way to the pantry “all burners off!” he ordered and no one wanted to test the professor’s patience when he was using that tone so all the burners were shut off “Harry are you ok?” he asked as he disappeared into the pantry to find Harry clinging halfway up the ladder covered in flakes of the various dried ingredients that occupied the top shelf … the shelf that was now tilted and closer.
“I’ve been better Professor Snape” Harry muttered trying not to move as much as possible. He sensed magic in the pantry, but that didn’t strike him as strange since he was after in a pantry filled with magical ingredients. The instincts of his practically yelled danger when he got half way up the ladder. It wasn’t clear way to him, but he was a creature and he had strong instincts so he started backing away. After moving down only one rung on the ladder he heard a creak and felt several things fall on him. Thankfully he didn’t move anymore because if he did the entire shelf would’ve come down on him, but because of the clattering of cauldrons no one could hear him so he was stuck until Draco came …
“indeed” Severus commented absentmindedly as he scanned the shelves “the hex is tied to the ladder” Harry mentally rolled his eyes. That was obvious to him since his skin absorbs or repels magic so any hex on him would be short lived even if it hit his clothes. This hex wasn’t budging … if he touched the ladder directly maybe it would go away, but he can’t move now and the fact that he covers most of his skin isn’t helping. Hagrid only gets the bottomless charms in Harry’s gloves to work by strengthening them with wards … and refreshing them nightly “it might be too dangerous to move so I’m calling Professor Grindelwald” he said and flicked his wand releasing a silvery bat that flew off quickly.
Harry nodded, but clenched his teeth as the back of his neck started burning badly. It was the familiar feeling of the rash that appears when his skin touches something … that’s right! Everything that dropped from the shelf already! “professor could you brush the flakes off me? They got on my neck and I can feel the rash”
Severus frowned in concern as he recalled the medical issue from the first day of class “very well” he said and brushed off some flakes off the rest of the boy’s clothes before checking the back of his neck. The potion professor’s eyes widened as he saw a painful red rash that looked like it was bleeding “oh Harry does this hurt?” he asked as he carefully brushed away the few tiny flakes that caused the massive reaction.
“not terribly, but it does burn. It goes away quickly with water. Anything else would make it worse” Harry said trying to stay still and ignore the pain.
Severus nodded as he tried to remove the small flakes over the rash area. Some of the tiny flakes were stuck in the blood and had to be plucked out, which clearly hurt “I’m sorry Harry- … Gellert! Hurry up!” he snapped as he heard someone run into the classroom full of worried students.
The blonde Charms professor bolted into the cramped pantry “let me see this hex- …oh Merlin, Harry what happened?” Gellert gasped as he spotted the back of the boy’s neck.
“it’s a skin reaction that happens when I come in contact with certain plants … like the ones that were on the top shelf” Harry muttered with a strained voice, which was the only sign that he was in pain.
“there’s no time for this” Severus warned as he grabbed a cloth and drenched it with a water spell before pressing it to Harry’s neck. It felt much better, but no one noticed the difference in the size of the dried ingredients that just hit the floor and those that were brushed off Harry’s skin. The material that touched the young creature’s skin was less than half the size of the other pieces and they were more brittle as if Harry’s skin was slowly breaking them down to absorb them …
“right, stay still Harry” Gellert said as he squeezed in next to the ladder.
The potion master rolled his eyes “good thing you warned him cause he was clearly going to do a cart wheel” he hissed sarcastically and noticed that, despite the situation, Harry still had a sense of for the young man’s lip twitched in amusement.
Gellert huffed as he carefully used his wand to undo the spell. The shelf snapped back into place and that was the end of it “ok … it’s gone. go ahead and step off the ladder Harry”
Harry sighed in relief and stepped down the ladder “this is a new meaning to the phrase closet case” he muttered casually as he was guided out of the closet with Severus still holding the cloth to Harry’s neck.
Severus gave a cold glare as he scanned the other confused and worried students “I don’t know who decided to play such a dangerous joke, but I will find them and I will make sure they are punished severely … get back to work” not one of the other students waited around to get yelled at. The professors caught a glimpse of a smug smirk on Michael’s face and filed that away for when they started looking into this “now since we’re doing pairs Draco can start the process so Harry you have time to go and get Poppy to put a bandage on your neck before coming back to do this potion, but if you’d like to sit it out. Either way is fine”
“I’ll help with the potion professor. My neck is bleeding, but it already feels better. Besides pain there are no other reasons to worry” Harry said making it clear that dizziness or other things wouldn’t be an issue, which is good because such things would make brewing very dangerous.
The potion professor nodded and removed the bloody cloth to add some water and pressed it back on before turning to Gellert “would you take Harry to the infirmary?”
“of course, I have my forth years reading so they will hopefully be fine … though I charmed the room so I’ll know if trouble starts” Gellert said and kindly lead Harry out of the room, which was abuzz with the gossip of what the students heard and saw about Harry’s’ wound’. After walking a little bit in silence Gellert decided to see if what Severus suspicion about Harry and the other Potters were true “does this reaction have anything to do with your past? I only ask because Michael has been saying that you spent most of your life bedridden due to illness. When we were students I remember Albus, Severus and Tom saying they saw you only once or twice and I saw you and your brother perhaps once so I’m sorry to say that those rumors are all I know of your past” the charms professor asked.
A rather awkward silence followed as they walked, but suddenly Harry stopped and looked up at the professor who stopped next to him “no professor … this reaction started not long before school” (at the same time I apparently began growing claws. All of which began days after running into a terrifying thing that I now know is the Dark Lord who was living amongst us until a week ago … I’ll just leave that part out) Harry mentally shook his thoughts away and focused on the charms professor “rumors are sometimes just gossip … those rumors aren’t, but that doesn’t make them true. Any information you heard is just lies from someone who refuses to take responsibility for their actions and accept the consequences” Harry said hoping to steer the professors towards the family discord and away from the fact that he’s not human.
It should be believable since Michael was the famed ‘Boy Who Lived’ and it would be easy to disappear in that shadow … personally he didn’t get it, but everyone thought that was important so he’ll use that to his advantage. It probably wouldn’t matter too much if people found out that James and Lily assumed he was a squib. It’s not completely unheard of for a child to have little to no accidental magic. Granted Harry was a little old to show no signs at all so it might be odd, but not that bad. All of wizarding world would just maim the Potters for never going to confirm it at St. Mungo’s. He just didn’t want people focusing on his strange constant hunger much because that wasn’t normal … for a human at least …
“is that so?” Gellert remarked absentmindedly as they continued onto the infirmary. The professor seemed to confirm his friend’s thoughts and it made him wonder how deep this rift between Harry and the other Potters was …
The boy was apparently raised by someone else who took the boy traveling, which didn’t make sense if he was a frail child so the rumors were already suspicious. Harry only told the professors and his muggle studies class about traveling with a guardian. Michael has been telling everyone that Harry was so sick that he was raised elsewhere. Of course due to Harry’s extensive muggle world knowledge the other students assumed he was raised in muggle world by a guardian who occasionally took Harry on trips. One twin was lying and he bet it was Michael, but why lie like this? Was this more than just neglect? Maybe he should talk to James about this to see if he can get some more information …
The infirmary was empty except for the kind medi-witch who took an instant liking to Harry. She had the wound wrapped in moments and before Harry knew it he was lead back to class where he helped Draco finish the potion after Gellert left. With top marks in class and on a small quiz given to Harry to prove he knew what the steps were that Draco did for the potion the class ended on a good note. Now it was off to the last class, which meant DADA … and Nagini …
‘who hurt my master’s mate? I will bite them and crush them until they can’t breath, then eat them!’ Nagini hissed threateningly scaring every poor student in range out of their seats and to the edge of the class room. Several students actually refused to go in the room until the professor showed up, which is what Tom stumbled on as he came to the door.
“why are you all out- … never mind” Professor Riddle sighed as he saw Harry trapped in his seat with Nagini wrapped around him hissing angrily ‘I have a class to teach now Nagini and Harry has to learn … if he’s to be my mate’ Tom argued right out of the gate hoping to get Nagini to behave quickly … not that he meant anything by it!
‘but master someone injured your mate and who ever did it must suffer!’
Tom saw the bandage as his familiar shifted her protective coils “Harry what happened to your neck?”
“a hex on Professor Snape’s pantry got a bit out of hand” Harry said and noticed the other students were looking at him in disbelief “what?”
Draco sighed “we all saw your bloody neck Harry. It’s was not a harmless prank so don’t talk like it was” he chastised catching Tom’s attention. The professor found himself fixating on the words ‘bloody neck’ and tried to convince himself that he was only worried about a student … it was nothing more than that …
“true, my neck is sore, but I was lucky the entire shelf didn’t collapse on me” Harry said pointedly.
“do they know who did it?” Ron asked not seeing Michael next to him looking very smug.
Harry noticed Professor Riddle was listening intently even though he pretended to set up the chalkboard “I wasn’t told anymore than what Professor Snape said in class. We’ll know after the professors look into it” he commented dismissively, but he caught the nasty smirk on Michael’s face … it was obvious to the creature who did it …
‘yessss the culprit will be found and I will devour personally … until then my master has been has been practicing that thing … Oral! He sucks on one toy while pleasing-’
Tom quickly shot a silencing spell at the loose lipped snake ‘we’ll discuss how you know so much about my masturbation habits later! Until then no more out of you!’ Tom snapped. Just because Harry couldn’t understand the snake’s hissing doesn’t mean he wanted Nagini attempting to gossip about it. He ignored the snakes attempt say more embarrassing things through the silencing charm and looked at the few nervous students who were still standing outside the classroom “you can come in, she’s more angry at me now than anything else” he said as Nagini glared at him. After class he and Nagini went to Severus’s room hoping to get some answers … he never saw Harry’s face turn bright red as the student left the classroom “what happened with Harry? Nagini went ballistic when she saw his neck”
Gellert frowned as Severus set some tea on the table for the four of them “it was a sick prank that targeted Harry. The issue with his neck was because of a nasty and painful reaction to some of the ingredients that fell on him. I think the other students think it was an injury, which is for the best. Harry’s medical issues are no one’s business, but his … why is Nagini’s mouth open, but nothings coming out?” he asked with a smirk.
“that serpent has in depth knowledge on intimate things and was blabbing them during class so I put a silencing charm on her, but that’s not important. Do you know anything about the culprit?” Tom asked as he sat down next to Albus.
Severus scowled “I know who it was. That brat, Michael Potter, was the one who did this, but the headmistress says we need some type of evidence before asking for a pensieve memory … fucking protocol”
“I spoke to Harry about the rumors” Gellert commented as he sipped his tea “you are right Severus, but I think there is more to this than just neglect from ‘Boy Who Lived’ madness … James and Lily did something and these rumors are an attempt to cover up a mistake … assuming Lily evens knows what’s going on” he huffed and actually hoped she didn’t know. That would bring some drama and more answers though they intend to keep Harry safe from the backlash …
Lily, by the way, is still very much in the dark about everything since James is a coward …
“I can talk to James at the Quidditch match tomorrow” Albus said and sipped his tea.
Severus smirked “try to incorporate the word ‘cut’ as many times as you can. I don’t know why, but it makes Potter flinch”
A tapping sound caught their attention and they saw Nagini had spilled an inkwell onto her tail tip and spread the ink on a piece of parchment to make words. The message read …
…’stop spell or I tell all this way’…
The young professors all blushed brightly at the thought of the snake actually writing down their secrets and almost at the exact same time they all pointed their wands at the snake to reverse the spell. Nagini went on her hissing way with a bit of smugness in her slither …
“you just had to get the cunning magical snake, didn’t you?” Severus grumbled.
Tom blushed and seemed to shrink a little in embarrassment “it seemed like a good idea at first” he argued weakly …
XXXXXXXXXX
Ron winced as his brothers, Fred and George, went through their trunks with rather violent motions “now guys calm down-”
“calm down?! Did you see Harry’s neck?” snapped one twin and they both began pacing. It was hard to tell which twin was which at this point even for Ron.
“they say his head was almost cut off” the other twin said with a bit of panic in his voice.
The youngest Weasley son shook his head frantically “that’s not true! Those rumors are blowing it way out of proportion. Harry did get hurt as the first things fell on him, but it wasn’t that bad. Yeah a little bloody, but from what I saw it was just a scrape and some cuts. Nothing more than that, right Michael? You saw too right?”
Michael snorted secretly pissed that yet again Harry was getting more attention “yeah he’s fine” he grumbled. Everyone mistook his behavior for a caring brother who was mad that his brother was hurt, but he wasn’t …
