Harry stumbled out of his room, Zephyr falling off his shoulder with a screech of alarm.
Harry cursed, rubbed at his bleary eyes, and sighed in relief as Zephyr flew up and landed on his shoulder again, grabbing tight to his braid. *Sorry about that.* He mumbled.
*Are you always this groggy in the mornings?* Zephyr asked.
*Your bloody stomach woke me up! I’m usually in the shower before I head to breakfast!* He complained.
Zephyr’s wings drooped and he hung his head. *Sorry.* He said morosely.
*It’s not a big deal, I’ll wake up when I eat.* Harry told him as he entered the family dining room.
Severus was there already, paper in hand and a cup of tea before him. He looked up and frowned. “You’re early. And why did you not shower first?” He added.
Harry pointed to Zephyr. “His stomach was very loud.” He explained. “Food first, shower later.”
Severus hummed and nodded, and Harry called for Tissy. “I need a full English today, and an extra rasher of bacon. Zephyr needs the protein.” He told her.
Tissy nodded and popped out of the room, reappearing a second later with his breakfast and extra bacon.
Harry snagged a piece of bacon and held it up for Zephyr, who licked it, then plucked it from his hand with his mouth, flew down to the table to brace it against the plate, and happily began munching on it.
Harry smiled as he watched him.
Zephyr let out a huff of annoyance when he got to a chewy part, and looked up at Harry. *Does this count as public?* He asked.
Harry laughed. *If you need to cook food, you can use your fire, just don’t burn anything else.* He said.
Zephyr purred a bit, then blew a small stream of fire over the bacon, charring it. He then crunched on the crispy meat happily while Harry ate his breakfast. Harry was down to five more beans that were stubbornly avoiding his fork when Zephyr finished his food and looked at the plate.
*What's that?* He asked, looking at the beans.
*That’s beans. Have you ever tried them?* Harry asked.
*No.* Zephyr looked up. *Can I have those ones?*
Harry shrugged. *I guess.* He said.
Zephyr climbed onto the plate and carefully picked up each bean in turn, then licked his feet clean before flying off the plate and landing on Harry's shoulder. *Those are really good. But now I need to get clean. Can you give me a bath?*
*You can come into the shower with me and I will make sure you are clean.* Harry told him.
Zephyr cocked his head. *What is a shower?* He asked.
*It's how humans stay clean. We stand under a spray of warm rain and wash ourselves.* He explained.
Zephyr purred. *That sounds wonderful; let's do that!*
Harry got up. “Going to shower now. Me and Zeph will be down in about thirty minutes.”
“I will be in the library. I will see you when you are ready.” Severus said, getting up.
Harry left for his bedroom and undressed. *Alright, shower time.* He said, heading into the bathroom as he took his braid out.
His hair was to the middle of his shoulder blades now, and he brushed it back as he got into the shower.
Zephyr was looking around in interest. *Where will the rain come—Ah!* He hid in Harry’s hair as the spray started.
Harry laughed.
Zephyr came back out and looked up. *Oh. I see.*
*Yeah. Do you like it?*
Zephyr stretched out his wings and let the water run over them, then held out each little leg in turn, cleaning them and purring. *This is very nice!* He declared.
Harry smiled. *Yes, it is.* He agreed. Then he set to washing.
Zephyr seemed to enjoy when Harry began rubbing him with soap, so Harry cleaned him carefully and then took care of his hair while Zephyr played around on the floor, slipping and sliding in the water.
When they were done with the shower Harry dressed in some of his new clothes and headed downstairs.
They found Severus in the library, a box of jewellery sitting on the small table beside Severus’ favourite chair.
“Alright, the first order of business is that you need to learn to voluntarily change into your Dracken form.” Severus said.
Harry pouted. “But it’s so much easier to just have someone shoot a spell at me to force the change.”
“That is dangerous, as well.” Severus warned.
Harry stared at him. “There’s no one else around as strong as me.” He said flatly.
“That may not hold true forever; it is a bad habit to get into.” Severus said. “So, will yourself to change. I’m sure you can manage it with some effort.”
Harry sighed and concentrated. He got his claws to grow out first, which was encouraging. After another few minutes, the tail slowly grew out and his face became scaled. He felt the horns grow out this time, which was a change from the last two times, and then, his wings unfurled suddenly, putting him off-balance. He stumbled, but righted himself quickly, scowling.
“Very good.” Severus said proudly.
“I don’t see the point in this.” Harry muttered.
Severus smiled. “We want you to display your Dracken form at the wedding.” He revealed.
“Why?” Harry asked.
“Point of pride. We are both very proud of you, and besides, Drackens like to display. You will enjoy it more if you can show your Dracken traits. Trust me.” Severus said.
Harry shrugged. “Whatever. Now what?”
Severus walked over and plucked a falcon brooch from the box. “Hold this. You want to feel for the enchantments on it; they are old. When you feel them, tell me what they are, and I will let you know if you have found them.”
Harry took the piece and held it, using his magic to feel it.
He felt a hint of protective magic, but it was weak. It felt more like it could animate to protect. “Does it come alive? And defend the wearer?” He guessed.
Severus chuckled. “Very good, that is exactly what it does. Next, you feel the enchantments. It is okay if you don’t recognize them, you just need to feed your energy into them to strengthen them. You don’t need to actually cast anything; you are just renewing the magic used on it already.”
Harry nodded and focused on the magic, feeding a bit of his own into the brooch and strengthening the magic. There was a flash of white light, and he felt the pin pulse as if in thanks.
“Done!” He said happily.
Severus smiled. “Good. Do the same with the rest of this box to prove it was not a fluke.” He said.
Harry whined. “But that will take until lunch!”
“And then I will set you another task until we see the tailor. You will be kept busy today. If you can handle a day without your mate, he may spend the night with you. You two will have to reach your own accord of where that will be: here or his home.”
Harry beamed. “Deal!” He said happily, and took Severus' chair, digging another piece out of the box.
Severus chuckled to himself as he left the room. This was a skill all new Drackens in the Prince line learned, and it kept the enchantments on the Family Heirlooms going strong. Plus, Harry could use the skill if ever he bought magical jewellery.
*****
Harry finished his last piece as Severus came to check on him.
“Have you finished?” He asked.
Harry nodded. “Just now finished the last one. I’m feeling a little drained now.”
Severus nodded. “There were thirty-two different magical items in there; that is to be expected.” He said. “Are you ready for lunch?”
Harry laughed. “I am ravenous!” He confirmed.
“Let’s go. Sirius and Remus came over while you were working. They are waiting for us.” He led Harry to the formal dining room.
Harry smiled weakly at his Godfather and his honorary Godfather, settling in beside Severus at his right hand. “Hi.” He said.
“Hey, kiddo!” Sirius said. “Why do you look and sound so tired?”
“He’s been enchanting jewellery. For the last three hours.” Severus said.
Remus hummed. “Isn’t that a little strenuous?” He asked reproachfully.
Severus chuckled. “Don’t worry; a Dracken can handle expending large amounts of energy, as long as he is allowed to replenish his energy by eating as much as he feels he needs to.”
“I might just eat everything.” Harry said.
“I doubt that very much.” Severus returned.
Harry grinned.
Zephyr peeked out of his hair. *Is it food time?*
*Yes!* Harry said happily as the elves brought out lunch.
Zephyr had some fruit while Harry ate thrice his usual portions.
Sirius and Remus stopped eating after a while and just watched Harry keep going with morbid fascination.
“I think I may have a heart attack just watching him.” Sirius muttered.
Severus chuckled. “Don’t worry, he will not be this hungry at the wedding. I made sure he could eat in private after using so much power, because I knew this would happen.” He said.
Harry finally finished and leaned back, patting his stomach. “God, that was good.”
“Wow.” Remus said.
Sirius eyed Harry. “You look good as a Dracken, kid.”
Harry grinned. “Thanks. I agree, it’s a cool look.” He said proudly.
Severus smiled. “Now, if we are all done, it is time to head out.”
“I thought the appointment was at three?!” Harry protested.
“We are going somewhere else first. Unless... You don’t want them to know.” Severus said.
Harry looked at him in confusion.
“About Jeanette?” Severus added.
Harry’s face flamed, and he looked at Sirius, then Remus. He had trusted them with his change of heart, his past, and his new status as Tom’s consort, and they had been supportive and tolerant of everything so far, but... This was different.
More personal, somehow.
“I...” He sighed. “Should I go get changed? None of those got altered.” He said nervously.
Severus shook his head. “We will be careful not to anger you. And no one will fire anything at you.” He promised.
Harry cleared his throat. “Go ahead and tell them. I will be right back.”
“Bring a change of clothes; the tailor need not know. You know they have changing rooms at Metamorphosis.”
Harry nodded and headed upstairs to don his Jeanette regalia.
“He has an alter-ego that comes out to play from time to time, though it is by no means often.” Severus explained.
Sirius frowned. “My pup is a cross-dresser?” He asked blankly.
Severus stood and was looming over him in an instant. “If you say anything to make him second-guess himself, I swear to Merlin I will—”
“Hey, no, I don’t have a problem with it!” Sirius said quickly, raising his hands in front of himself. “I was just surprised. James did it once for a case, and he looked good as a woman! I’m just wondering how Harry looks!”
Severus took a deep breath. “Good. He enjoys it, and I won’t have anyone spoiling something he likes. He has little enough of that in his life. I just wanted him to decide if he wanted you two to know. It is best you know now so he can be himself once you move in. He sometimes wears the occasional dress, and I want him to still have that option.” He explained.
Sirius huffed. “Why didn’t you jump down Remus’ throat?” He whined.
“Because, you idiot, I didn’t say anything.” Remus said, amused. “I’m just waiting to see how he looks.”
They headed out to the receiving room and waited for Jeanette.
Severus smiled when she came down the stairs, eyes done up in the same exact shade of yellow as her dress, and a small, shy smile on her face.
“Wow!” Sirius said, jaw dropping.
She let out a little laugh and gave them a little twirl when she reached the bottom of the stairs, exposing her smooth legs and underarms. Zephyr had agreed to stay at home and nap.
“How much...” Sirius made a face. “Never mind, I do not want to know!”
Severus shot him a look. “What were you going to ask, Black?!”
Sirius shook his head. “I was just wondering how much of the body hair is gone, but that is so not my business! Only Tom needs to know that!”
Severus shook his head. “You are a dog.”
Remus chuckled. “He has no filter, that’s the problem. He wonders in his head, and then out comes the question. At least he stopped it partially. That’s progress.” He said in amusement as Jeanette’s face flamed.
“Yeah, I don’t feel like sharing that, so no.” She answered.
Remus’ eyebrows winged up. “Voice-altering charm?” He asked.
Severus nodded. “It seemed prudent while we were trying to hide her true identity.” He explained.
“Are we going?” Jeanette asked, holding up a small gold purse. “I’m ready.”
Severus nodded and they Apparated to Diagon Alley, quickly ducking into Metamorphosis, and the shopkeeper who has met them a few times already named Sarah smiled widely. “Jeanette! So good to see you!” She came out and gave Jeanette a hug, whispering in her ear, “Go well?” about the lingerie she had snuck back to buy.
Jeanette smiled and laughed as she pulled away. “Very. But I came by today to let my soon-to-be Dads know that I have another side. Also to look around for anything new.”
Sarah nodded. “Well, there are new prosthetics, with stronger adhesion, and they stay on for up to 72 hours!” She said excitedly.
Jeanette shook her head. “I’m fine with these.” She indicated the ones she was wearing. “They did come off once, but I had worn them for 7 hours.”
Sarah nodded. “Well, let’s take a look around at what I know you don’t already have...”
