(I’m thinking)
“I’m speaking”
Pairing: Yaoi M/M, Harem – top Harry x bottoms Fred / George / Albus / Gellert / Severus / Tom (TMR)
Last Time:
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 …
XXXXXXXXXX
Albus smiled as he made his way over to James Potter minutes before the match between Slytherin and Hufflepuff “it’s a good day for a Quidditch game. The clouds earlier worried me, but the sun cut right through them”
The flying instructor flinched subtly, but Albus caught it “you’re right … so lucky” James chuckled nervously.
“I wanted to take a minute to talk to you about that hexing incident on Harry. His neck was badly cut up and bleeding when the dried ingredients and other things fell on his skin. Of course medical issues aside he still would’ve been hurt badly if that shelf fell on him with all those glass vials and ingredients that could get into a wound. Who ever did this clearly meant to harm Harry so do you know of anyone who’d hurt Harry? Has he spoken to you about this?” Albus asked observing James carefully and something struck him as odd … James didn’t seem concerned when he said ingredients fell on Harry … did James not know about the skin condition?
“no, I can’t think of anyone right now, but Harry is fine. It was just a few scrapes” James heard the teams coming towards the starting posts and all too eagerly left to get the crate with the Quidditch balls “that’s my cue!”
The young transfiguration professor’s eyes narrowed as the man escaped. He made his way to the bleachers and sat with Tom, Severus and Gellert “he doesn’t seem to know about Harry’s medical condition”
“what?” Tom asked looking a little disturbed as the Potter in question ran out into the middle of the field to release the Quidditch balls and start the game.
“I told him the dry ingredients hit Harry’s skin, but he described it as scrapes. I really don’t think he’s aware of anything going on with Harry” Albus exclaimed as he clapped for the teams competing against each other.
Severus shot a glance at the idiot flying instructor who took a seat in the bleachers next to Michael and then looked at his young snake seated with the other snakes “I’m not too surprised that the fool was no help, but that alone is a hint of the life Harry had. I mean, if the Potters sent Harry away to someone so he you recover from an illness you would expect them to panic at the first sign of an issue”
“very true” Tom agreed as he shot his familiar an annoyed glance when she slithered away, which was ignored “if they cared enough to do that then why be so indifferent when Harry’s condition flares up or simply not even bother learning about what’s going on with him? … if we want answers we may need to talk to Harry’s mysterious guardian-Hagrid! Don’t encourage her!”
A few seats down the half giant had lifted the snake and let Nagini use him to cross the steps safely … and therefore to get to Harry “sorry! She was looking at me and I couldn’t say no” Hagrid said sheepishly.
The groundskeeper was considered a big softy to everyone including Slytherins. He can’t resist helping people or creatures alike … Tom was even caught by him after curfew during his school years, but the friendly half giant just took him back to the Slytherin dorm and warned Tom not to go out at those hours since there are dangers … Severus was also caught after curfew because he got carried away brewing. Hagrid just gave his usual goofy happy smile and said ‘it’s good to see young people so willing to learn’ before escorting Severus back. No punishments were given … nobody even seemed to know it happened at all.
All four professors trust Hagrid and knew he cared for all the students. Sometimes the two Slytherin professors seemed distant or like they don’t care when the gentle half cries, but they do. If James knew the Slytherins cared about Hagrid, who was already hated by the Potter, then he would try to hurt the groundskeeper even more. That would be unacceptable!
Of course only one person knew the real cunning giant behind the goofy naïve façade and Harry wasn’t going to tell anyone …
“it’s ok Hagrid” Tom called out and sighed as the snake found her target and coiled around him “at least he isn’t afraid of snakes … she better stay quiet” he muttered as Nagini clearly started chatting away and Harry seemed to sigh at yet again being trapped.
“at least the others are developing ways to free Harry” Severus commented in amusement as Blaise held a conjured ball containing a small fluffy bunny and seemed to be offering it in exchange for Harry’s freedom. The ruby haired Slytherin seemed to find the whole thing amusing as well …
Once the serpent gave in and released Harry in order to get the bunny something changed …
“HARRY LOOK OUT!” the professors jumped at the sound of the twin Weasleys in the Gryffindor section. A loud crash was heard next …
The bludgers flew at the Slytherin and while Harry managed to dodge the first one just by the skin of his teeth letting it crash through the bleachers the second bludger hit Harry in stomach sending him through the hole the first bludger made. Everyone jumped up to see where Harry went, but then the other students began screaming because the cursed bludgers continued crushing things under the bleachers … including the supports holding the seats up.
All the professors and Hagrid raced over to help the students except James who looked too panic stricken to be of much help. The half giant managed to grab one bludger as it tried to crush a first year and the players on broomsticks helped the people who fell through the bleachers.
Once Hagrid saw Harry being carried on broomstick by the Slytherin captain he saw that something was wrong and took the boy carefully so he could get him to the smaller infirmary near the field for Quidditch games … as he passed the flying instructor he not so gently forced the cursed bludger into James’s hands …
XXXXXXXXXX
“our team is definitely going to win” Draco smirked as he sat next to Harry.
Harry chuckled “we’ll see. It should be a good game either way”
Theo nodded “true, I hear the Hufflepuff captain helped get multiple wins in the last few years, but this is Flint’s first year as captain. Inexperience may be our downfall- … it was only a matter of time” Theo sighed as a certain serpent coiled around Harry.
“it’s been too long Nagini” Harry muttered sarcastically much to the amusement of the surrounding Slytherins. It has been exactly two hours since Nagini last caught him and that was at lunch …
‘I know thus my return!’ Harry twitched, he doubted Nagini missed the sarcasm since she used it quite often herself so she must be making fun of him since she thinks he won’t understand … though she’d probably mess with him even if she thought he could understand ‘my master and Albus bought a new pieces of cloth skin, but it makes no sense. Why do you humans buy skins made of flimsy fabric and barely covers your backside? If this … what was that weird word?… lingerie! If it’s for attracting mates shouldn’t it be more like armor or do human mates not care about that? … if defensive measures don’t matter then lose the cloth skins all together. Severus dances to music skinless all the time and sometimes around a pole. Gellert eats midnight snacks skinless too, but only the sweet things. Of course then he gets the chocolate goo or whipped stuff on himself and has to lick it off’
(fuck the Ministry potentially discovering I may be a creature that is labeled dangerous and executing me! … if the professors ever find out I understand snakes I will die a painful death!) Harry mentally screamed.
‘then again Albus uses those blood sucker treats as a toy to please himself-… no wait … maybe it’s just a toy that looks like the vampire treats … hmmmm it spins so it must be a toy, but it does look like the blood sucker’s pops’
(ooh I’m never going to look at a Blood Pops the same way again) Harry mentally sighed.
Blaise smirked and conjured a ball with a bunny in it “Nagini want a snack?” the snake’s eyes locked on the bunny and moved to take it only to hiss in irritation when Blaise moved out of the way “you only get this juicy treat if you let Harry go”
‘sneaky hatchling … you’re lucky I’m not allowed to bite irritating students’
After a short tense stand off Nagini gave in and unraveled herself from Harry who couldn’t resist smirking “Blaise, my hero” he said sarcastically making Draco, Greg, Vincent and Theo snicker as Blaise rolled his eyes in amusement.
“HARRY LOOK OUT!”
There was no time to avoid it …
Before Harry could react he saw the bludgers come at right at him. It was so close that he could feel the smooth surface of the bludger on his cheek as he moved out of the way, but wasn’t fast enough to dodge again. All the wind was forced out of his lungs as the next bludger slammed painfully into his stomach. He felt his body move back and was seeing a slow motion view of the hole in the bleachers as he fell through it. After being rammed into a rafter he came back to his senses.
The bludger that tried to disembowel him slipped away giving Harry a second to gasp for air. Getting his lungs to accept air was difficult and it took too long for the bludgers returned. The small wrecking balls crashed through several support beams as they hunted him down. Without being able to breathe properly Harry managed to move to a different beam … well, oit was more like fall to a different beam, but he narrowly avoided being pulverized either way. In the back of his mind was vaguely aware of the beam he was on being smashed and people screaming as he tried to steady his breathing.
A shift in his senses made everything more vivid and his mind became far more alert. This time he heard the bludgers coming. One from one direction off to the side and the other was actually about to smash its way through the bleachers to get to him. With a strong heave he leapt up to a different beam, but slipped and was currently dangling for his life. One bludger went out through the bleachers, but for some reason didn’t return though that still meant there was one cursed bludger to worry about …
(So high) those words flitted through his mind as he caught a glimpse of the grass several feet below him. A strange ripple in his back muscles forced his attention back to the bludgers one of which lipped his leg after it came through the bleacher seats. Someone fell through, but he couldn’t tell who it was.
(fight) that was the thought that popped up just before a ferocious inhuman growl came from his throat. Something clicked in his knuckles and he felt a heat pool into his gloves …
“Harry!” the young creature glanced towards the voice … it was Marcus Flint followed by the entire Hufflepuff and Slytherin teams “Keep that bludger back!” he yelled and the beaters on both teams tried wrangling the cursed ball as the Slytherin captain helped Harry on his broom “I’m going to hex the bastard who this … it’s alright Harry. I’ll get you to the infirmary” he said as he flew up to the top of the bleachers.
(safe … hungry) Harry felt his focus shift … he could hear the blood pulsing in Marcus’s veins … a crackle in his upper jaw and a slicing feeling in his teeth followed and he found himself trying to lean up to the older student’s neck (NO! I can’t! … Dad help or I’ll feed!) out of shear will Harry snapped his mouth closed and tried to not kill Marcus with every fiber of his being …
“I’ll take him Flint. Go help the professors get the other kids to safety” said a very familiar gruff voice with a thick accent. Harry felt himself being picked up and taken into strong arms … it was his Dad! Relief flooded him … his Dad would keep him from going out of control “James! I got one of the bludgers! Hold it for me!” Hagrid said cheerily as he pushed the bludger roughly into James arms. Professor Potter grunted and was practically being dragged by the cursed ball “bloody fool” Hagrid scoffed before looking down at his son “I know what you need little giant … just hold on”
Poppy rushed over to the half giant “Oh Merlin! Put the child on the bed” she ordered and heard two things hit the floor when Harry’s robes were moved … two teeth? The medi-witch immediately assumed that the boy’s jaw was damaged meaning he couldn’t drink his potions … Hagrid knew it meant something else “this will feel uncomfortable, but I’m going to spell the potions into you Harry” she said and though the boy nodded she felt he was barely hanging on … little did she know how close she was to being drained of blood or how much Harry was fighting right now …
Hagrid immediately started building an excuse to get Harry alone as Poppy placed a selection of potions against Harry’s stomach and said a chant to magically transfer the potions into the boy’s system “it’s actually really bad out there Poppy. You will have half the student body in here soon even if the bludgers seemed to be after Harry”
“it’s that bad? Ok … then I should get everyone to the bigger infirmary and treat them separately until Harry is safe from those bludgers. Stay here and watch Harry. Notify me if anything happens” Poppy said before rushing out and just in time to hear Severus yell ‘Potter you idiot! Now we have to catch it again!’… she never noticed that the potions had no effect. Only one thing heals Harry …
“Harry open your mouth for me” Hagrid said softly and the boy did so revealing two very sharp looking fangs in place of the two loose canines from before. The half giant brought his wrist up and made a tiny cut. The cut was too small for drinking, but it was enough to send Harry over the edge. Not even the fangs slicing neatly into his flesh made Hagrid stop smiling “this brings back memories … the only other time you drank my blood was when we first met … you were so tiny then and gobbled down my supply of Blood Pops like no tomorrow. Of course Blood Pops were no where near enough to help you so I cut my wrist open. Once you were full you started crying because I was hurt”
Harry blushed and pulled back to speak with surprising clarity considering the new fangs “I never wanted someone to get hurt … Poppy, Marcus, I almost … all I could hear was the pulsing of their blood and it was so strong that I …” he trailed off feeling guilty and terrified that he nearly hurt someone …
Hagrid chuckled “you were hurt so it’s more than understandable and you didn’t hurt anyone despite that. Besides I am a half giant. It will take a great deal more than your hunger to even make me lightheaded so if you’re really concerned about hurting someone then you need to drink your fill. I know you aren’t healed yet” Harry smiled sheepishly and went back to draining more blood. Hagrid noticed that there was no blood escaping his son’s fangs. It was like the fangs themselves were straws that sucked up every last drop with great efficiency.
A few more seconds passed Harry felt him each his fill and this time he felt a change “I think my fangs retracted”
“lets see” Hagrid said and Harry opened his mouth showing the half giant that the fangs did retract to the point where they looked like normal teeth albeit a bit sharper than the ones before “yes … they did. Well, that’s one less thing to-” both Hagrid and Harry froze at the sound of a hiss “Harry … did you hear that?” the half giant asked as he looked around. That wasn’t the real question though since Harry had great hearing. What Hagrid wanted to know is if Harry understood the possible snake speaking from close by …
Red eyes scanned the floor, but saw nothing “no Dad … it wasn’t a snake speaking-oh! … that’s new” the creature exclaimed as he saw steaming droplets of fluid coming from his gloves. He pulled off his gloves and was met with a gush of black fluid pouring out of his black gloves. As the fluid splashed on the floor it caused a nasty hiss just like the hiss from a moment ago.
“yes that’s definitely new” the stunned half giant gasped “Harry where did all this come from?” he asked as the black mess pooled on the floor and burned a mark in the ground along with destroying the gloves. Before it got worse Hagrid spelled the mess away with his wand and gifted his shocked son a baffled look.
“ummm … I don’t know … ” Harry mumbled as he stared at his claws “I … I did feel something in my knuckles … a clicking or cracking kind of thing when I was dodging the bludgers”
It was as if something clicked in the half giant’s mind “so when you were being threatened … I want you to try something little giant. Close your eyes” Harry did as asked and waited “go back to that point where you felt this change. Remember what you felt. Remember the smells. The emotion. The sound of the bludgers as they charged. Envision everything” Hagrid watched his son carefully …
The creature’s muscles became tense …
An inhuman rumble from his chest was heard making Hagrid flinch …
And then another change happened … Harry’s claws started turning black and the same fluid from before began oozing out of the tips …
There was only one reason Hagrid could think of to explain this and it was defense. Harry’s body made this fluid into a weapon in order to defend himself, but if his son’s body was capable of creating this then what else is possible? If this reaction was triggered by the fear emotion then maybe the answers are in the other emotions …
“ok little giant … instead of you imagine someone else in danger like … like those Weasley twins” Hagrid mentally snickered knowing full well that the twins meant something to Harry. His son snorted at the unspoken teasing, but visualized the scenario anyway. Another far more deadly growl came from Harry’s throat and the fluid increased in quantity “the threat is now gone, but Fred and George are still scared and one is hurt” the half giant’s eyes widened as the claws receded enough to look more like human fingernails and a lavender smell came from Harry’s breath. The second that smell hit his nose every muscle in his large body relaxed and he suspected if he was in any pain it would be gone now “now imagine that you’re taking them to a safe place and … marking them as your mates” Hagrid said quickly hoping he sees a reaction before his son yells at him.
Harry couldn’t help but think about it for a split second before his eyes snapped open “Dad! That’s just unfair-mmf” Harry was rudely interrupted when his Dad pressed a hanky to his lips. He would’ve stared yelling again when his Dad pulled it away, but his eyes caught a glimpse of a very light pink lipstick like print on the white hanky “was that on my lips?”
A chuckle escaped the half giant’s mouth as he set the hanky aside and spelled away most of the black fluid, but wiped up the last with the hanky so he could examine it “we handled everything all wrong … what pantry items fell on you yesterday? What caused the rash?”
“there was dried Mandrake Root … a bushel of dried lavender, some Lacewing, bone powder. Most of the dried items” Harry said now very curious on what was going on.
“this makes sense now. You see Harry, this black stuff” Hagrid held up the hanky to show Harry the fluid splotch that was burning a hole in the fabric “this is an acid made from Mandrake root, a little lacewing and bone dust. It’s been a long time since I made it in school I didn’t recognize it, but they don’t teach it here anymore so it’s strange to find it coming out of your fingers without even hurting you … when you wanted to protect someone your claws created acid. When you wanted to comfort someone your breath had a muscle relaxing effect that smelled of lavender. All the things that just happened to fall on you ended up here. When you wanted to mate your lips secreted this” he turned the hanky to show the very light lip print “I don’t know what it is, but considering the theme so far I can hazard a guess”
The young creature was stunned and stayed silent for a second to collect his thoughts “so … that rash I get is my body breaking down useful things in order to store them for the future? … and what? My body creates potions?”
“that’s what it looks like … if you want we can test it later tonight and see if it’s true, but I think we know what’s happening. Maybe if we didn’t cover you up and let your body adjust like it has been trying to do the rash wouldn’t be so bad. Considering when this all started I think your body is made to adapt to every change” Hagrid said gravely.
Now it was very clear. The changing started right after Harry met the Dark Lord. The fear from that meeting sent his body into full arming mode and started planning for a possible battle. From acid to claws Harry was now quite dangerous …
“wait I never heard of this so … I’m not on the LDC, right?” Harry asked hopefully.
Hagrid chuckled “yes. The only that comes even close to this is the Metamorphmagus trait and the people with that trait are considered human. This is similar, but far more powerful and inhuman… just keep this as quiet as you can until you’re an adult. We don’t know what exactly you are so if people think you’re dangerous you could be labeled and placed on the LDC. However if you show no issues up to adulthood then they have no reason to complain”
An annoyed sigh was heard from the young creature “fine I guess. Creatures become adults at 15 not 17 like humans so it won’t be that long … I still don’t like it and … ummm … if anyone finds out that I understand parseltongue I will probably die a painful death” Harry muttered.
“oh? What does Nagini chat about?” Hagrid asked taking great amusement in the blush creeping across his son’s cheeks “I think we need to have a talk about the birds and the bees” Hagrid smiled as he transfigured a new pair of gloves from the hanky and gave them to a furiously blushing Harry. After all it’d be strange if he had a skin issue, but decided not to take care of it. Hagrid intends to get proper gloves tomorrow, but these will work for now …
XXXXXXXXXX
Minerva tried her best not to smirk at the sight of the many clearly injured kids being escorted to the infirmary “does anyone know who did this?” she demanded as Severus and Tom all but blew up the bludgers.
“no headmistress, but it seems strangely coincidental that this happened right after Harry was targeted just yesterday” Albus said.
“yes … chances are that both incidents were started by the same person. I’m calling the Aurors before this escalates further. Try not to completely destroy those bloody bludgers so the Aurors have something to look at” Minerva said feeling satisfied at the amount of chaos caused and hoped that Michael was behind it … getting him in severe trouble would be the icing on the cake …
Gellert helped put the bludgers away in the crate they’re normally kept in “thank so much for the help James” he said. Every single word was oozing with sarcasm as the Charms professor glared at the flying instructor who did nothing to help the situation.
James winced and decided to get out of the way. His eyes narrowed when he found his son, Michael, looking more than a little guilty as an injured Ron was helped to the castle “Michael … can I have a word?”
XXXXXXXXXX
Fred and George pouted as they helped several first years to the infirmary. They tried to get to Harry and make sure he was safe, but then Poppy said only Hagrid was allowed near Harry because he was strong enough to easily handle the bludgers. With that chance shot down their stuffy brother, Percy, made them help get people to the infirmary as the bludgers were being handled. So here they were staring at the walls and sconces as they passed wishing they could destroy a bludger or cuddle with Harry …
“this is boring …” grumbled Fred just loud enough for his brother to hear.
George nodded, but then frowned as they turned into another hall “hey Fred … the sconces have a slightly different etching in this hall” he whispered when he saw the four little dots on the previous sconces change to three dot in a triangle formation.
“hmmm … so they do” Fred comment as the kids filed into the infirmary. The twins ducked down a deserted hallway and looked at the sconces. The small dot pattern on the base of the sconce was different in this hallway too, but what did it mean “you know George … the entrance to Diagon Alley needs a set of bricks tapped so maybe …”
A pair of matching smirks spread across the Weasleys’s lips as they raised their wands. The current two dot with a horizontal line pattern was traced on the wall and the bricks quickly slid out of the way. They found the secret passages! It was a complicated network of passages and little sitting rooms. It was a treasure trove of pranking possibilities and a private getaway for more perverted options …
“we can catch Harry red handed” they said in perfect sync as they pushed on the wall making the stones move to let them out, but they slipped back in just enough to not be seen but the stones wouldn’t close the passage when James and Michael came into the hall.
James looked around to see if they were alone and decided that they were without noticing the twins standing in the passage entrance down the hall “Michael did you do it? Did you do these pranks with the pantry and bludgers on Harry?”
“yeah, but it was only supposed to get the freak not Ron” Michael exclaimed feeling guilty for his friend who felt it was necessary to help and fell through the bleacher steps “what’s the big deal? Harry was never wanted. He was weak that’s why you got rid of him, right?”
The professor groaned “your mother and I made a mistake thinking he was a squib. I’m not saying I’m trying to get him back because he’s wanted or is even remotely close to you in skill and power, but dumping a magical child without checking him at St. Mungo’s to confirm he’s a squib is a very bad thing to do. I want Harry to come back and keep his trap shut so we don’t get into trouble. Speaking of trouble, the headmistress is getting the Aurors involved so I need to know exactly what you did and when so I can tell Sirius and have him sabotage some things”
Every detail was explained from getting the keys to the invisibility cloak all within hearing distance of some vengeful twins …
XXXXXXXXXX
Sirius grinned as he entered Hogwarts with his team of Aurors and saw James “hey mate-whoa!” he yelped as James pulled him aside “be right back guys” he called out and James started whispering something making Sirius pale “WHAT THE FUCK?!”
