(I'm thinking)
"I'm speaking"
Last Time:
“it’s simple … I was the unwanted squib of the Potters” (a different continent a they’re still managing to mess with me) Harry thought as he prayed he didn’t just lose Severus because of an unfortunate blood relation. Mixed colored eyes looked down at the beautiful black orbs hoping to not get a rejection and he saw anger …
XXXXXXXXXX
“your parents … are James and Lily Potter?” Severus said calmly though it was clear he was furious. The guests were stuck between feeling shocked and confused.
Harry winced “yes …“
Maybe he could’ve just never told Severus and prayed no one would find out … no … he already shared enough of his past and he told Severus about Bitsy. With only one elven death it would’ve been easy to narrow things down. Severus would’ve discovered it and hiding things only makes things worse …
“the people who went to Hogwarts and had a werewolf help deliver you …” Severus said as if he was confirming that it was the same Potters… not that there were any others.
“I never knew about anyone called Black or Remus or … you. I do recall them mentioning a werewolf, but considering how they referred to him I thought he was a servant or something. I understand if this is too much to accept” Harry said not displaying how much it hurt to have lost Severus.
Severus’s eyes widened as he felt Harry pull away and realized what Harry must’ve thought. He jumped up and caught the director by the arm before he got to the door “I’m not angry at you Harry. How could I blame or hate you when they were the ones who hurt me? Besides they hurt you far worse than me. That’s why I’m angry! Those monsters tortured you-” Severus was silenced when the strong director pulled him into a bone melting kiss. Harry couldn’t help kissing Severus senseless … he was just so happy this chance wasn’t shattered …
Lucius coughed slightly to bring the pair back to their senses though he got scolding look from Albus for ruining a sweet moment “could you clarify what’s going on here?”
“umm … sure” Severus said sheepishly as he reluctantly let go of Harry who didn’t look embarrassed at all and they both sat back down in their original seats “the night Harry and I discussed the Squib Bylines he felt it was necessary to tell- … warn, me that his parents might get involved once the Bylines circulated the UK” Severus explained, but glanced at Harry … he wasn’t sure how much Harry wanted to say on such a personal subject.
Harry sighed and leaned back in his chair, but still seemed tense “my parents … Lily and James Potter” all the wizards present could hear the venom when Harry spoke those names “had me too early in life and outside of wedlock, which as you know is looked down upon by purebloods like the Potters … after my birth I was handed over to, Bitsy, a kind and energetic house elf. I spent four years with Bitsy until one day my caretaker told me my parents were coming to take the both of them home … you know, I was excited … at first they seemed nice” Harry was doing a remarkable job at keeping his emotions in check, but Severus could tell this was by no means an easy subject to discuss and instinctively held the blonde’s hand “the first thing my parents did was take me to St. Mungo’s to get me checked out … I was diagnosed a squib. My father obliviated the healer and I was taken to the Potter Manor … but not as a child or son … I was the freak with no name who was made into their personal slave and punching bag”
Albus felt his heart ache for the young wizard and allowed a small silence to linger for the director before asking “when did Bitsy pass? Did he help you get here?”
“yes and no, I would not have lived through the harsh treatment if not for Bitsy, but … when I was eight they got bored of me” Harry’s eyes seemed to become distant for a second as if recalling a horrendous event “they killed Bitsy in front of me and abandoned me on the streets of Knockturn Alley where I lived with a homeless man for three years” the mismatched eyes glanced at Lucius “his name was Harry and he dove in front of the curse to save me. I took his name … I was badly hurt in that raid and Doc took me to America” he explained surprising nearly everyone there. It was a good thing Draco was out playing in the sand … he was too young to hear this though Lucius promised to explain to his wife later …
Gellert raised an eyebrow “how did he accomplish that when magical travel was all but cut off until recently?”
“I don’t know for sure, but since apparating is heavily regulated I suspect it was floo related. You see, he was the one who rigged the international floo connection in my home to connect to outside floo networks so I could attend my conferences in Japan and Australia … he never trusted other people to do it … despite that the restrictions from the UK’s side should’ve prevented transport” Harry trailed off letting them figure it on their own.
Severus sighed as he shook his head “Draco … Doc’s meddling made it possible to cross to any floo. I didn’t even think about that before”
“we were all too worried about Draco to actually think about it, but where did he appear before? Did Doc really just pop out of a random floo?” Albus asked. This Doc was a strange character. At least Draco’s mispronunciation made sense … Ministry and Minitree sounded very similar, but it would be foolish to just randomly guess and hope you pop out of a floo safely.
“that I’m afraid I wasn’t conscious for that. My injuries were bleeding heavily and I blacked out. When I woke up I was at Jessica Blum’s home” Harry said showing next to no emotion save for his thumb caressing Severus’s hand.
“ah Jessica … I just met her after a quick meeting with Adina. We were working out some details for the Squid Treatment Plan. Does she know Doc well?” Gellert asked curiously.
Harry chuckled as if the question was absurd “lots of people know of Doc. Some are gifted with a little insight on him, but no one knows who he is … his name is fake, his blood matches no one and he appears and disappears with the skill that puts ghosts to shame … those who are closer to him only know that he loves his little greenhouse with his campanula plant, the type called Elizabeth and has a thing for chocolate”
Lucius raised an eyebrow “so he’s a mystery”
“a very strange mystery that claims to be nearly as old as Merlin at times and shifts between states of sanity and insanity without any rhyme or reason … though I know more than most and can handle his antics … I owe the old nutcase a great deal. It was his surprise spell casting fit that changed my hair and eyes … permanently it seems” Harry shrugged uncaringly.
Albus’s eyes widened in realization “Remus did mention you looked differently … oh dear … as you know now Remus is a werewolf and he did mark you as his cub. If he caught even a small whiff of your scent he’ll know who you are. Is that something you want?” the headmaster asked doing a marvelous job at hiding his ever growing distain for the Potters.
“from what I heard so far about this Remus I can at least take comfort in the fact that he won’t go to telling on me … I would have no problem meeting him” Harry admitted feeling fascinated at the unexpected chance.
“I want to understand something though” Lucius commented, but paused to think on how best to word his thoughts “you told Severus about you’re situation because you wanted to warn him or that’s how it sounds … why are you so sure they’ll attempt to bring you back into lives? Yes, they are manipulative bullies, but they can’t think they’ll get you to agree? Why would they even believe you’re alive when you were tossed into a war zone? There’s no way Black will like this. Narcissa is his cousin so I know the man is a selfish prick, but he is a prick that hates the treatment towards squibs and they have two kids, James and Violet, who will not like that they had big brother-” Lucius frowned as Harry visibly paled.
The director covered his mouth with his opposite hand as his other hand tensed in Severus’s grip “they have children?” he asked. Lucius winced as he realized Harry couldn’t have known that. It must’ve hurt knowing you were the only one left behind.
Severus scowled a Lucius, but sighed “yes they have two kids. One headed to Hogwarts this year with Draco” he answered clearly not happy that Draco would be with a Potter, but he noticed a change in Harry’s demeanor … something wasn’t right …
“I suppose that’s a silver lining” Harry commented absentmindedly as he adjusted his glasses. It was an odd comment to make, but before anyone could ask what he meant he continued “to say my parents love the spotlight is an understatement … they will do whatever necessary to make their status and reputations the talk of the town. It’s a sick desperate need … they are manipulative. They are bullies. They are selfish. When something is in the way of what they want they will throw a tantrum. They are mentally incapable seeing the reality that isn’t all about them or of showing real remorse albeit they will seem like it at times, but that’s all for show and guilt is saved for when they think they might have accidently made more problems to correct. In a case like me they will only feel bad because they realized they might have missed a chance at fame. Now that squibs are the new in thing they want that chance to parade me around saying they never abandoned me and prove they were always better than everyone else. They don’t need love, they need accessories”
Albus felt there was a warning in here somewhere and the chilling feeling in his chest was screaming that it had to do with the children “why are you concerned about James and Violet?”
Harry remained silent for a second before letting go of Severus’s hand to stand up and take a couple long strides so he stood in front of Albus “I don’t know the full extent of how they act in public, but I know they value their reputation so it is obvious they aren’t as bad as any of you believe. They are far worse. I know what goes on in that house. I know how they treated me. Severus said it already. They tortured me in horrific ways from curses to beatings to starvation. The list continues and it was all because I had the nerve to be a blemish in their perfect world … that kind of attitude doesn’t change because you remove one blemish and I’m sure you, Lucius and Severus can agree that children are not born to be cooperative”
The silver eyes narrowed dangerously “you think the kids are being hurt” he concluded making Albus, Gellert and Severus stiffen and they all seemed very close to killing someone.
“it won’t be as obvious or as bad as it was with me. There will be scars. Before I had mine removed with potions the bulk were on my back and caused by the cutting curse or a belt, but I bet the scars are covered with a charm. Perhaps even potions and spells were used on the mind. They never bothered doing that with me, but I heard them discussing it before involving a woman named … Weasel? Maybe …” Harry said as he tried to recall the name of one of the Potters potential victims.
“do you mean Mrs. Weasley?” Gellert gasped in shock. This could be bad since her husband Arthur was a Ministry worker and he could tell his wife things most people, especially the Potters, should not know …
Harry hummed in thought “it’s possible, but it always seemed like they referred to her as a weasel … of course they thought everyone was beneath them and will treat people like that behind closed doors” he looked back at Albus “the second you have one of those kids in your reach get them help”
Albus nodded seriously “I will … that training program for the new branch of the Ministry is starting right?” he asked Gellert.
“yes, in fact, over the next two months we’ll be going through a mass training program in both healing and Auror training with the American ministry’s help. It will be needed in many respects. The number of squibs coming out of the wood work is startling and considering this new insight on the Potters we need to get the Domestic Violence & Child Protection branch up and running fast … we just need help with our own orphanage and preschool” Gellert said.
“Narcissa would jump at the chance to help” Severus commented earning a chuckle of agreement from Lucius. This news that the entire thing will take two months made him want to sulk. Harry’s offer for a dinner date was for after the Squib Bylines were set up so he will have awhile to wait … however this was good news in a way. This will give him time to find a way to get rid of the mark on his arm. Those new seed samples might hold the key!
Harry smiled and went over to kiss Severus before sitting back down “we’ll have to reconsider when our dinner date happens. Waiting two months sounds too long”
Gellert blinked “oops … did I say two months? I meant two days. You should go on that date right away” he blatantly lied in a teasing way that earned him a glare from Severus, which got worse when Lucius and Albus started laughing. The glare quickly fizzled away when he felt Harry’s hand in his … he was finding it hard to stay mad at anything when Harry’s with him … except with the Potters. Screw that former childhood friendship with Lily. Those people are going to pay for what they did …
“hey Dad! Dolphins!” Draco yelled as he shot into the house before darting back outside.
“dear Merlin … now I’m never going to get him to leave this place” Lucius groaned in mock despair as he and everyone else left the house to see the dolphins swim through the warding barrier and linger awhile before leaving … the wards only keep out dangerous creatures like jellyfish and sharks so dolphins can stop by without an issue …
Narcissa smiled as her son went right to the water and watched the mammals swim away “we’re going to need a vacation home here” she said jokingly and glanced at her husband knowing she missed something big “what happened?”
The Malfoy family head sighed and kissed his wife on he temple “the cheerful news is that Gellert needs help getting a place for an orphanage and preschool together and that seemed right up your alley if you’d like to help?”
“I’d love to! … now what’s the not so cheery news?” Narcissa asked, but frowned in concern at the dark look that crossed Lucius’s handsome face.
“I’ll show you the pensieve memory later” Lucius promised which was enough for Narcissa.
Albus smiled as he looked at Harry and Severus who were standing close to each other on the sand watching the water “they make a sweet couple”
“yes … Harry reminds me of myself. Handsome, charming and dashing” Gellert said with a grin.
The headmaster rolled his eyes “of course … you have dip on your shirt Romeo” he said and chuckled as he saw his husband spell the tasty glob of snack dip and pretended it was never there.
A cheery tune brought Harry’s attention to his phone and he glanced at the text displayed “not even one full day and you have over 60 people lining up to test your potion and two people have tested it already. You’ll have a lot of data to look through by the end of the week”
Severus smiled and leaned against Harry’s arm “I look forward to it. I was the one who tested my potion first so who tested it right after?” Severus mused knowing Harry probably couldn’t give out that kind of information.
“I did” Harry said calmly and looked down when he felt Severus shift to look up at him “I had a lot of poorly healed broken bones” he explained with a shrug and leaned down to kiss Severus softly “it was a pleasure seeing you and I’m glad to meet all of you, but I should get back to fixing this mess at Decoction” he said and bid everyone farewell as he walked away.
“you have yourself a keeper there” Narcissa said making Severus blush lightly with his heart still fluttering. It meant the world to him that Harry tried his potion. They took a quick trip around the magical town Firelights and bought many things including a large order of multiple Potion Puppets products and some cellphones …
XXXXXXXXXX
In the UK a young dark haired boy with brown eyes was looking out of the window of a bedroom in the Potter Manor. A creak of the door opening made him feel a sense of dread, but that turned to relief when he saw his little dark haired sister looking at him with those big green eyes “hey Violet”
Violet climbed on his bed to see his back “does it hurt a lot? What made them mad?” she asked worried about the angry red lashes across her brother’s back.
“I said I didn’t want to hate someone before getting to know them … I was supposed to add ‘except Slytherins’ and I was forced to take that potion again” James said bitterly.
“it’ll be ok. Soon you’ll be gone and maybe someone at school can help us” she said hopefully as she cuddled close to her brother.
James scoffed “how? The potions keeps us from talking about what they do and Mom hides the marks so there’s no way to hint to someone … and you heard the conversation at dinner. They’re going to donate to that program building that new branch in the Ministry that’s for saving kids. Once that happens … no one will help us” he growled angrily.
The young girl sniffled “yeah … but at least you won’t be here and soon I won’t be either” she said as they huddled together being careful not to hurt each other’s wounds …
