Magic chapter 60. Didn't think it would ever make it this far.
It was nice to see that some people came back to the story even after a 3 year gap.
I've noticed something odd over the last couple of weeks while I've been writing.... now I'm with my partner, a lot of the things that Harry and Sev are saying to each other, we say to each other.
Anyway on with the story....
------------------------------------x------------------------------------
“Why me?!” he shouted, pacing backwards and forwards.
They’d gone to the new tower, stopping just log enough for Harry to collect his own things. Now he, Draco and Blaise had ensconced themselves in the top dorm, claiming it as their own.
“I’m so sick of this. What gives the damn papers the right to spill all my secrets to the public? I just want a quiet life,” He said, the glass in the windows rattling ominously.
“Blaise, go find Professor Snape,” Draco said quietly.
“Why?”
“Just do it, quick,” he said, knowing that Severus was the only thing that would be able to calm Harry down.
“Isn’t it enough that I’ve got to risk my life time and time again to save their sorry asses? Why do they have to drag me through the dirt? I had one secret that was mine and mine alone. If people find out who it is that I love he’ll be killed. I swear to Merlin himself that if they put him in danger I will personally hunt them down and kill every last one of them,” he shouted, a window cracking as his magic became more and more uncontrollable.
“Harry, you have to calm down,” Draco pleaded.
“NO! I’ve had enough of this, had enough of being a public joke and laughing stock,” he shouted, storming across the room and throwing open the door, only to walk into a firm chest.
“Harry.”
“Move,” he growled.
“No Harry,” said the person in the doorway.
“This has to stop,” he growled, trying to push past, anger clouding his mind and mixed emotions coursing through him.
Suddenly strong arms wrapped around him and pulled him close, one hand slipping into his hair to hold him still while lips descended on his, stealing his breath away and evaporating his fury.
“Stop this Harry,” murmured a comforting voice in his head.
It was the last straw and he broke down crying, his magic dissipating, much to Draco’s relief. Breaking the kiss, Severus gently steered him into the room, sitting down on one of the beds with him, his arms still firmly wrapped around him, much to Blaise’s shock and surprise.
“What’s going on?” he asked.
“Come on, let’s leave them alone and I’ll explain,” Draco said, pushing him out of the room and shutting the door behind them.
“Harry.”
“I can’t do this Sev.”
“Do what?”
“This, everything. I’m scared,” he whispered.
“What of?”
“Losing you,” he said, looking up at him, tears sparkling in his eyes.
“Oh Harry, you’re not going to lose me.”
“But this, us, puts you in so much danger. If Voldermort ever found out…”
“He won’t because I’m not going to leave you alone.”
“But what if the papers found out? They wouldn’t hesitate to publish it, even if it put you in danger.”
“Then we shall have to be careful.”
“How can you be so calm?” he said quietly.
“Because if it happens, it will happen and there is nothing we can do about it.”
“I love you Severus.”
“And I you, my Harry.”
“I made a scene at breakfast didn’t I?”
“No more than was warranted. The trouble makers have been dealt with as well. You will always be in the public eye Harry, no matter what happens. It is how you react that defines who you are.”
“I’m just so tired of it all Sev. I want a quiet life. I just want to be able to marry you and live happily, away from everything.”
“In time you will have it all, I only wish that I could give it to you now.”
“It’s not your fault, I just attract trouble. I suppose I should go and deal with Draco and Blaise,” he said, wiping his eyes.
“Yes, Mr Zabini did seem rather shocked,” Severus said, making him laugh.
Getting up he composed himself and headed down to the small common room that they had. Walking in he sat down in one of the big brown leather wing back chairs. Draco and Blaise were sat on the couch in front of him, watching him.
“I take it I’ve got a few things to explain,” he said.
“Draco told me a bit,” Blaise said.
“Before I tell you anything I need your word that you won’t say anything to anyone else.”
“I swear on my wand and magic that I will not repeat what is said within to those without,” he said, speaking ancient words that would bind him to his oath.
“Oh Merlin, where do I start,” Harry muttered, rubbing his hand over his face.
“Start from the beginning,” Severus said as he sat in the vacant chair next to Harry’s.
“Easy enough for you to say. Right, from the beginning then. We’re bonded,” he said, looking at his dark lover.
“Oh,” said Blaise.
“Yeah,” he said, putting up a silencing spell before he continued.
For the next hour or so Harry sat and explained everything about his life, from living in a cupboard, to being raped by Dursley and his unexpected relationship and bonding with Severus. When he was done Draco told Blaise all about what had happened to him since the beginning of the summer holiday.
“I had no idea,” Blaise said, looking at Harry and Draco with a mixture of emotions playing on his face.
“Yeah, nobody really did,” Harry said.
“I’m so sorry Dray, I should have been there.”
“It’s ok Blaise, there was nothing you could have done.”
“Right I’ve got something else to explain, but you can’ tell anyone about this either.”
“Ok,” said Draco.
With a deep breath he changed into the wolf and sat watching them from his chair.
“We’ve seen it before Potter,” muttered Blaise.
“I bet they haven’t seen this though,” he said to Severus.
Leaping from the chair he changed into a sparrow and flew over to sit on Draco's knee, before quickly changing into a large snake, making the blonde yelp. Slithering off his lap he fell onto the floor and changed back into the wolf, only to jump onto his chair and return to normal, grinning wildly at them.
“How the hell did you do that?”
“Wild Magic.”
“That’s just a myth,” Blaise said.
“What’s Wild Magic?” Draco asked.
“It’s supposed to give you control over animals. My mother told me a story about it when I was young, but it’s just a myth.”
“It’s not a myth and it doesn’t give me control over animals, but I do have a bit of control over plants. What it does do is give me the ability to talk to animals and take on any animal form.”
“Wow, I bet that’s fun,” Draco grinned.
“Yeah but getting it wasn’t.”
“I can imagine your coming of age was fairly difficult wasn’t it?” Blaise asked him.
“That’s perhaps the greatest understatement of the year,” he muttered, remembering the bone jarring pain he’d had to endure.
“I must be going,” said Severus quite suddenly.
“Awww, why?” pouted Harry.
“Because I have a meeting to attend to with Albus.”
“Oh, I suppose you had better go then. Are we going to train later?”
“If you wish.”
“Ok, I’ll see you later then. Let Shale and Blue in when you go please,” he said with a smile.
“They are your pets.”
“Come on Sev, you know you love me.”
“Yes, I do, but why I am still yet to understand.”
“Git.”
“Most probably,” he said as he left.
“That’s so strange,” said Blaise, watching the interaction between the two of them.
“You get used to it,” said Draco, seconds before a grey blob streaked into the room, launching itself at him.
“Oi!” Harry said to the blob.
“I think you got the wrong person sprog,” Draco said.
“No. hello Draco. Who’s the other person?” asked Shale.
“That’s Blaise you traitor. What about me?” Harry said with a pout.
“Hehe, Harry! Play with me,” the kitten giggled, jumping off of Draco's lap.
“I’m not sure if I want to play with you now. I think I’ll play with Blue instead,” he said, looking up at the blackbird that had landed on his shoulder.
“Awww…. Please Harry, I’m sorry.”
“Oh come here, I can’t stay mad with you.”
“Yay!” Shale squealed, running over and jumping into Harry’s lap.
“It’s weird only hearing half a conversation,” Draco said, who until now, had never seen Harry talk to Shale or Blue.
“You’ll get used to it. Normally I don’t speak out loud to them so you’d never know.”
“Weird.”
“Yeah I suppose it is. I don’t even think twice about it now. The net that I had around my Wild Magic to keep it under control is all but gone now, so I have a constant hum of voices in my head. I learnt to tune it out though so that I don’t even notice it unless an animal speaks directly to me. On another note though, are you coming training tonight? You’re more than welcome to come Blaise.”
“I’m up for it,” said Draco.
“I don’t see why not,” Blaise said.
“Cool, another person’s butt to kick,” Harry laughed.

To the lovely reviewers who feed my ego
Joanna - Glad you're enjoying the story, I'll try and get yours read when I get the chance :)
Mya Malfoy - Lol, oh hai! Glad you came back to read it :D hopefully there will be more regular updates now to keep you going :)
LeaniaSTL - Hehe thank you and so glad you're enjoying it. Glad it makes you laugh as well, that's one of my main aims. Yeah some of the Gryffs turning on Harry seemed about right and fitting but most of them aren't turning on him, just a few dweebs. Shale and Blue have turned out so much better than I hoped :D and the Sev nightmare scene.... it fit so perfectly.
unneeded - lol poor you *fans you off* you ok now? Minny will indeed be a mad momma lion. I didn't really think about Draco's ma but now I do yeah, she'd be under a lot of 'try anything and die' constraints. Wizard spaced wardrobe? You've lost me on that one. My dad has chilled over the last few years and I don't live at home anymore so doesn't really affect me anymore. Oh and lastly.... yes indeed I may be a lil crazy!!
dominique1 - glad you're enjoying the story :)
