Chapter 6- Where’s Harry

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of the other wonderful characters in the books. They
belong to the wonderful J.K. Rowling.

Time passed quickly at school. Harry continued getting mail from his sister but now all letters were
passed through his dad. They weren’t going to take any more chances of someone finding out the
truth. So far no one else had said anything about who his parents were so he assumed Blaise had
kept to his promise.

Harry and Blaise talked quite a bit. It seemed as if they had a lot in common. They had become
rather close friends. Draco was still his best friend, of course, but Blaise was his second closest
friend. However, there was one thing that Blaise and Harry had in common that Blaise had yet to
tell Harry.

Halloween was rapidly approaching and everything in the castle seemed peaceful. However, that
peace was not to last for much longer.

* * *

A week before Halloween, Harry once again found that he needed to speak with both of his fathers.
He casually slipped his dad a note along with his Transfiguration homework. That evening when he
went to meet with his fathers he was accompanied by Draco, as usual. When he stepped into his
father’s office, he was unsurprised to see that Lucius, Remus, and Sirius were also there. Anytime
something important came up, they all met together.

“Alright Harry, what’s wrong?” James said once the boys had taken a seat and the usual locking and
silencing charms had been placed.

“I know this may sound childish but I ask that you just hear me out.” Everyone just nodded and
Harry continued. “I’ve been having strange dreams lately. It’s always the same thing. I’m in a
dark room with a small cot and nothing else. There’s someone talking to me though I can’t really
make out what they’re saying. I can’t see them either. I do get the feeling though that they are
saying something about you two. I think it’s something along the lines of how you shouldn’t be
married.” Harry finished looking at both of his fathers.

“How long have you been having these dreams?” Severus asked.

“About three weeks now, I think.” Everyone sat quietly for a few moments.

“I think you’re just worried about someone else finding out about all of this. I don’t think you
should worry too much about the dreams. As far as we can tell Mr. Zabini has kept to his word.”
James said trying to calm his son down. Harry just nodded, though he felt deep down that
something was going to happen, and he and Draco left.

When the boys were gone, Severus turned to his husband. “Do you really think there is nothing to
worry about?”

“I’m not sure, but there really is nothing we can do except keep an eye on him.” James replied to his
husbands question.

* * *

The night of the Halloween feast finally arrived. The students were being rather loud and
rambunctious as they celebrated the holiday. Draco, Evan, and Blaise were sitting at the Gryffindor
table as had become their custom since that first day. It was extremely rare that they ate at the
Slytherin table these days.

Draco was sitting next to Harry with Hermione on Draco’s other side. Across the table were Ron,
Evan, and Blaise. On Harry’s other side was Percy Weasley, one of Ron and Evan’s older brothers.

Halfway through the feast Harry began to feel slightly nauseous. He paled quite a bit and began to
get a bit shaky. Draco noticed this and urged him to go lay down.

“I think you’re right Dray. I will go back to my dorm and lay down. Tell Ron and Hermione I’ll
see them in the tower.” Draco nodded and watched as Harry started to stand. He swayed slightly
before a hand was placed on his shoulder to help support him. Draco looked over to see Percy
looking at Harry with some concern.

“Harry. I’m done eating. Why don’t I help you up to the tower? Maybe I should just take you to
the infirmary instead?” Percy said as Harry swayed again.

“No, I think I’ll be fine if I just go lay in my own bed. Thank you for helping me, Percy.” Harry
said as Percy began to lead him out of the hall toward Gryffindor Tower.

Draco looked back up toward the head table and saw that Lucius, Severus, and James were also
watching Harry’s departure. Lucius looked back to the table and locked eyes with Draco. He made
a slight motion with his head indicating that Draco should come to the head table. Draco excused
himself from the table to tell his father what had happened.

* * *

As Harry and Percy made their way toward Gryffindor Tower, Harry began to lean more and more
heavily on Percy. Harry was feeling weaker by the minute. By the time they had reached the end of
the 3^rd floor corridor Percy was practically carrying him. He faintly saw two figures step out of the
shadows before he completely passed out.

* * *

Percy greeted the two figures that stepped out of the shadows. “Flint, Montague, what exactly is
going to happen to him?”

“Don’t worry Weasley. He’ll be fine. He’s just going to go visit a friend of ours. Now remember
tell no one of this, especially Professors’ Malfoy, Snape, and Potter. By the way, nice job on that
curse. No one even saw you do it.” Percy just nodded and walked away leaving his young charge
with the older Slytherins.

“Lets get this over with Marcus. I don’t want to get caught by anyone who might come looking for
him.” Montague said turning to the up till now silent boy next to him who just gave a nod. He
placed something in Harry’s hands, muttered a couple of words and Harry’s prone figure
disappeared. The boys quickly made their way back to the Slytherin dorms.

* * *

Meanwhile, back in the Great Hall, James and Severus were quickly conversing after Lucius had
passed on what Draco had told him. “I think we should go up and check on him after the feast.
Make sure he’s okay and doesn’t need to go to the infirmary.” James said. Severus nodded his
agreement.

As soon as dinner was over, the two professors headed straight for Gryffindor Tower. When they
reached it, Severus gave the portrait of the Fat Lady the password and they went in. Severus led the
way to the first year dorms. It was very quiet and dark when they entered. Severus lit the lamps and
led the way over to Harry’s bed. He pulled back the bed hangings which had been closed. Both
men stared at the empty bed, one thought going thru both of their minds. “Where is Harry?”

Severus turned to look at his husband. “Who did Draco say had helped Harry back here?”

“Percy Weasley, I believe. He’s the 6^th year prefect. I think we need to go speak with Mr.
Weasley.” Severus led the way out of the first year dorms and down to the fifth year. They knocked
on the door and waited for someone to open it. After about a minute the door was opened by Percy
Weasley.

“Hello Professors. Can I help you with something?”

“I certainly hope so, Mr. Weasley. We were told that you escorted Mr. Potter back to his dorm.
We just went to check on him, but he isn’t there. Do you know where he might be?” James asked
gazing intently at the young man before him.

“I brought him straight back up here to his dorm. He was looking rather pale, perhaps he decided to
go to the infirmary after all?” Percy said, never once looking either of the professors straight in the
eye.

“Perhaps. Thank you for your time, Mr. Weasley.” Severus said, leading the way back down the
stairs.

“I don’t trust him, Sev. He wouldn’t meet our eyes. I think there is something else going on here.”
Severus nodded his agreement. They had reached the common room by this time.

“Professors, how’s Harry doing?” Ron and Hermione had come up to them as soon as they had seen
them enter the common room.

“We just went to check on him but he wasn’t in his room. We were just on our way to check the
infirmary.” James told them.

“We stopped by there on our way up here to see if Percy had taken him there, but there was no one
there.” Ron said looking nervously at the professors. Severus and James exchanged a quick glance
before speaking again.

“Come with us. We are going to go see the headmaster.” Severus said as James led the way out of
the common room.

* * *

Harry stirred a little and gave a slight groan. He no longer felt sick, but something still didn’t feel
right. He opened his eyes only to find that he couldn’t see anything due to it being totally dark. He
felt around him to try and get his bearings only to realize with a start that he was in the room from
his dreams.

‘Maybe this is just another one of my dreams.’ he thought absently. Just then a noise on his right
caught his attention. Suddenly light flooded his small cell. It wasn’t much but it was still enough to
momentarily blind him.

“I see you finally decided to wake up. It’s about bloody time too. I was beginning to think you
were going to sleep all day.” Someone sneered at him. Harry could not see the person due to the
door still being closed. There was something like an air vent on the door that the person was talking
thru.

“Who are you? Why won’t you show me your face?” Harry demanded in as calm a voice as he
could. Whoever was on the other side of the door just laughed.

“You wish to know who I am? Perhaps in time you will find out, but now is not the time. I’m sure
you’re hungry. Would you like for me to send for some food?” Harry refused to say anything
though he did feel slightly hungry. “Have it your way then. Just so you know though, I mean you
no harm. You have nothing to fear from me. I only wish to teach your fathers a lesson. I will be
back in a few hours to check on you. I will bring you some food then.” With that the air vent was
closed and Harry was once again left in darkness.

* * *

Draco, Evan, and Blaise had just sat down in the Slytherin Common room, when the magnified
voice of the headmaster echoed through the dungeons.

“I need all teachers, the Head boy and girl, and all prefects in the entrance hall immediately. Also,
the following students: Draco Malfoy, Evan Weasley, and Blaise Zabini.”

The three boys shot looks at each other before quickly making their way back to the entrance hall.
Draco was very worried. Had something happened to his father or godfathers? He breathed a quick
sigh of relief when he saw all five standing in the entrance hall but quickly became worried again
when he saw James and Severus’ worried and drawn expressions. That was when he spotted Ron
and Hermione standing off to the side looking equally worried.

“Oh gods, please tell me something hasn’t happened to Harry.” Draco nearly yelled, running up to
James. James and Lucius turned to look at him while the others turned to hide the pain in their eyes
and faces.

Lucius quickly drew his son to him before speaking. “Let the headmaster speak and then we will
explain.” Draco just numbly nodded. No one had noticed Blaise go extremely pale and start
shaking.

“We have a first year student that appears to have gone missing. Young Mr. Potter had started to
feel ill during the feast tonight and was escorted back to his dormitory by Percy Weasley. When the
feast was over his father and his head of house went to check on him. He was not in his room. They
questioned Mr. Weasley and he assured them that he had brought Harry back to Gryffindor Tower.
The professors were about to go check the infirmary when they were approached by the younger Mr.
Weasley and Miss Granger. They informed the professors they had just come from the infirmary
and Harry was not there.”

“I need all the prefects to split into groups of two and start searching the castle. Head boy and girl as
well. If you find him one of you is to take him immediately to the infirmary while the other is to
find a professor. They will also be searching for him. Dismissed.” Everyone began to move off
with the exception of Professors Black, Lupin, Malfoy, Snape, and Potter. Also the five younger
students were still standing there wondering what they could possibly do. Lucius finally looked at
them. He could tell his son was close to tears because he was worried about his friend.

“Ron, Evan, Hermione, I want you three to start checking any place you think Harry might have
gone to be alone. Also, you need to stay together.” The three young people nodded before running
off. Lucius turned back to Draco.

“Do you have your map with you?” Draco nodded. “Good, activate it and see if you can find him
on there. We need to speak with Blaise for a moment and then we will let the two of you go look.”
Again Draco just nodded. He didn’t trust his voice at the moment.

The five professors turned to see a silently shaking Blaise Zabini standing before them. There was
fear and worry plainly etched on his face. James was the first to speak.

“Mr. Zabini, I certainly hope you have not broken your promise to me and my son?”

“I swear I wouldn’t do that professor.” Blaise exclaimed firmly.

“And why is that Mr. Zabini? Why should we believe you?” Severus asked icily.

“B-B-Because I know what it’s like.” He turned to look straight into James eyes. “Do you
remember when we met in the Astronomy Tower?” James nodded. “Do you remember me saying
something about having someone to talk to who knew what it was like?” Again James nodded. “I
never got to finish that statement. I’ve also never been able to work up the courage to tell Harry this
either. I don’t have a mother. I had two fathers.” Blaise stopped speaking for a moment and took a
deep, calming breath.

“Professor Malfoy may remember some of this. I was not born in England, but in France. There
they are more tolerable of same sex unions. Anyway, my dad never really recovered from my birth
and died when I was still quite young. That is when my father moved us back to England. He still
loves my dad a lot and won’t even date now. He made sure I knew early on to never speak of my
dad unless it was with him.” Blaise finished quietly.

Lucius spoke up after a minute. “I do remember Edward moving away to France and then coming
back about five years later with Blaise. He never spoke of the person that had carried Blaise so I
just assumed it was a woman that had left him for some reason. I never knew the truth and I
apologize for suspecting you Blaise.” The other four also gave their apologies, but Blaise just
waved them off.

“I would have done the same thing were I in your shoes.” he told them.

Draco had been intently listening to the whole conversation while looking over the map to see if he
could find his best friend anywhere. Lucius turned towards his son when they had finished speaking
only to see a look of deep fear and desperation cross his face.

“Draco?” Lucius spoke softly. Draco turned wide eyes toward his father. Lucius noticed that they
were filled with fear and possibly unshed tears.

“He’s not there.” Draco said in little more than a whisper before looking away from his father and
down to the floor.

Lucius stepped over to James and Severus to quietly speak with them. “Why don’t you return to
your quarters and rest. Take Draco with you. I would also appreciate it if you could slip him a
calming draught. He appears to be rather upset about all of this. I don’t want him to make himself
sick.” James and Severus nodded their agreement before approaching the visibly shaking boy.
They each wrapped an arm around his shoulders and led him towards the third floor.

Lucius turned back to the others still standing there. “Draco couldn’t find him on the map as we
suspected. I’m going to take Blaise and start looking anyway. I was wondering if you wanted to go
find Tom and tell him our suspicions and see what he wants to do.” Remus and Sirius each gave a
curt nod and left. Lucius turned to Blaise.

“Come on. Lets start looking for him.” ‘Though I seriously doubt he is still in this castle.’ Lucius
thought to himself.

* * *

The next time Harry woke, his senses were assaulted with the smell of eggs, bacon, and muffins. He
opened his eyes to see a small tray of food sitting on the floor beside his cot. His mouth watered at
the smell but he quickly re-thought eating any of it. He couldn’t be sure none of it had been
tampered with.

He looked at the tray of food longingly and then noticed a glass of pumpkin juice. It didn’t register
until he saw it just how thirsty he really was. He debated with himself for a few minutes then
decided to take just a couple sips of the drink to wet his throat.

When he had done this he lay back down on his cot and stared up at the ceiling of his prison. A few
minutes later a strange feeling came over him and he began to drift in a half sleep, half awake state.

* * *

It was with a heavy heart that most of the search party went to bed that night. There had been no
trace of young Harry Potter found anywhere in the castle. The Headmaster had called off the search
once every floor had been searched. The students were all sent back to their dormitories. However,
none of the 5 younger students nor the 5 professors got any sleep that night.

When it was late enough in the morning for the students to be out of their dormitories, Draco, Evan,
and Blaise immediately went to Lucius’ office. While up in Gryffindor territory Ron and Hermione
were making their way to Professor Potter’s office. When Ron and Hermione reached James’ office
they saw him and Severus just leaving.

“Professor’s!” Hermione called out to them. They turned and smiled at the two as they drew closer.

“What are you two doing up so early? It was pretty late when you were sent back to the tower.” Sev
asked when the two stopped in front of them.

“We never actually went to bed last night, sir. We were worried about Harry. Have you heard
anything new this morning?” Ron asked.

“Unfortunately we haven’t. We were just going to see Professor Malfoy to see if he had heard
anything, if you would care to join us.” James said quietly. His features had taken on a pained and
worried look at the mention of his son. The two students silently nodded and followed the professors
down to the dungeons.

When they reached the office all four were unsurprised to see Draco, Evan, and Blaise there as well
as Sirius and Remus. Draco again looked as if he was on the verge of tears. But to Ron and
Hermione’s surprise, Blaise also seemed to be ready to cry.

* * *

Albus Dumbledore had just finished posting a letter to the Snape’s when he was alerted that the boy
had finally woke up. He swiftly made his way to where the boy was being kept and cautiously
opened the air vent in the door. He looked at the tray of food that sat on the floor near the boys cot.
It didn’t appear as if he has touched any of it. He took another look at the boy and saw that his eyes
appeared to be half closed and he had a dazed look on his face.

“Mr. Snape, can you hear me?” Dumbledore questioned quietly. He heard a slight moan in
response. “You really should eat something. I really mean you no harm and there is nothing in your
food to cause you any harm.” He got no response this time so he snapped his fingers and the tray
disappeared. He closed the air vent again and went back to his office. He would try to talk to the
boy again at lunch time.

* * *

Lily Evans was sitting at the desk in her office in the back of the library. She had just recently taken
over for Madam Pince, who decided she really didn’t want to deal with children anymore. She was
glad for the job because it gave her a chance to keep an eye on her old crush, James Potter.

Lily sat back in her chair to look over the letter she was writing to her old Professor and friend,
Minerva McGonagall. Minerva had left the school when her husband, Albus Dumbledore, had been
appointed Minister of Magic.

Dear Min,

How are you doing? Hope you and Albus are well.

I’m back at Hogwarts as the librarian. Madam Pince decided to retire and Headmaster Riddle
offered me the position. James Potter, Severus Snape, Remus Lupin, Sirius Black, and Lucius
Malfoy are back this year as well, but you probably already knew that.

I discovered last night that James has a son named Harry. I never even knew he had married.
Did you? Harry is in his first year here and seems to have suddenly gone missing last night. I
think something strange is going on but I’m not sure what it is. Do you know what might be
going on?

Well, I need to go for now. I hope to talk to you soon.

Yours always,

Lily

After looking over the letter one last time to be sure it said everything she needed it to, she rose from
her chair to send off the letter. She hoped that Minerva would get back to her quickly.

* * *

James and Severus had just sat down for lunch when a brown barn owl flew into the Great Hall.
This was highly unusual as most mail came during breakfast. They continued to watch its progress
until they realized that it was heading for them. They quickly looked at Remus, Sirius, and the
headmaster before James reached out to take the letter off the leg the owl held out. Once relieved of
his burden, the bird again took flight, leaving the Great Hall through the same window it had come
in. James and Severus shared another look before quickly rising and leaving the hall, using the door
behind the head table.

Lucius swept his gaze over the hall. Draco and Blaise were looking in his direction and appeared as
if they wanted to approach the head table. Lucius gave a slight shake of his head. He knew that the
boys wanted to know what was going on, but they would have to wait and see. They all would.

* * *

James and Sev had returned to their quarters when they had left the Great Hall. Only when they
were safely there with a locking and silencing charm up did James pull the note out of his pocket
and open it. His hands were trembling quite badly so he handed it over to Severus to read aloud.

James and Severus Snape,

If you want to see your son again unharmed, you will do as I say. You must annul this unnatural
relationship you are in. I can not believe that you actually went behind my back and married each
other, despite everything I did to try and dissuade you.

Do not worry, no harm shall come to your son, so long as you do as I have said. You have one week
to comply.

A.D.

Oh yes. Don’t bother trying t show this note to anyone else. Only you can read it and if anyone else
touches it, it will go up in flames.

The last thing that both James and Severus saw were the others eyes before the shock set in and the
darkness of unconsciousness claimed them.
