Chapter 9
With
a groan Harry opened his eyes. He was
once again in the infirmary. His pendant
was gone but Draco was beside him and he was sure his blonde companion had
it. As he looked around a familiar
figure strode in, Lucius.
“Drac,
can I have my pendant.” Harry asked softly, poking him.
Draco
had been napping and opened his eyes, looking at him with a smile before
slipping his pendant on, “That idiot tried to take it again.”
“Tried
to take what?” Lucius asked, looking at the two boys.
“Harry’s pendant.” Draco replied, not giving Harry a chance
to.
Lucius’
eyes narrowed angrily, “He should know better.” He looked at Harry, “Let me see
it. I’ll make it so he can’t touch it.”
A bit hesitantly he handed it over.
Lucius didn’t take it anywhere, he simply pulled out his wand and cast a
spell on it before handing it back, “If he tries to take it again he won’t be
happy.” He said with a malicious smile, “He shouldn’t even be here but I heard
what you did Harry. I understand it as
well. As disgusting as
it is there have to be some Mudbloods around.”
Harry
smiled weakly at him, “Lucius?”
“Yes?”
He replied.
“Why
did you give this to me?” He asked, fingering the pendant.
He
closed his eyes for a moment, as if debating whether he should tell him or
not. Finally he spoke, “Your father
wanted me to give it to you. He had it
made for you when you were a baby.”
“My father?” He whispered, “You knew him?”
He
smiled slightly, “Of course. Enough
questions, I’ll show you a picture this summer.
I have to be going, since it’s almost the end of the year I trust that
you’ll do well on your exams.” He said, looking between the two boys before
walking out.
Draco
sighed, “Should I have told him that finals were canceled?”
Harry
laughed softly, “Nah.” He groaned softly, “What about Dumbledore? Is he still here?”
“Yeah,
he came back.” He said morosely, “He was by earlier this morning, said he’d be
back later.”
Harry
rolled his eyes, “Where’s Veneficus?”
“Back
in the dorm, he wasn’t happy when you fell on him, was hissing at you.” Harry
blushed, “I’m happy I couldn’t understand him.”
Harry
laughed softly. They spent the rest of
the afternoon talking with only a brief interruption by Dumbledore. He wanted to know what had happened in the
Chamber. Harry had told him, only
leaving their conversation out. Once
again he asked to see the pendant and once again Harry refused. That evening Harry returned to their dorm
only to fall into a fitful sleep when his head hit the pillow. He awoke in the middle of the night, covered
in sweat. He had dreamed of screaming
and death. With a whimper he crawled out
of bed, slinking over to where Draco was sleeping.
“Drac.” He whispered, shaking him gently, “Drac wake up.”
Draco
groaned and rolled over, “Harry?” Upon seeing the distress in his friend’s eyes
he sat up a bit, “What’s wrong?”
“I
had a nightmare.” He whispered, looking down a bit ashamed.
He
pulled the blankets back a bit, “Come on, get in.” Harry scowled, “I forgot, I
bet those muggles never let you share their bed when you had a nightmare,
sometimes it helps.” Harry nodded and crawled in next to him, snuggling against
him, “Better?”
He
nodded, “Thanks Drac.”
Draco
smiled and hesitantly kissed his forehead causing Harry to blush, “Sleep now,
ok?”
Harry
nodded and snuggled against him, falling asleep almost immediately. He felt safe and secure curled beside
Draco. From that night on Harry took to
curling up with Draco, he found it easier to sleep and nightmares no longer
haunted him. Of course no one else knew
that they were sharing a bed since no one came into their room unless invited. Finally it was time to go home. Harry couldn’t wait for Lucius to show him a
picture of his father. He was excited to
find out about his father, he wanted to know more and since Lucius knew him he
figured he could find out more from him.
He wanted to know his heritage, wanted to know about the people he came
from. Draco had told him about his
family and their lineage and now Harry was curious to know his as well. He hoped that Lucius could tell him. When they arrived at the station Lucius
wasn’t there but Harry’s uncle was again.
“Where’s
your father?” Harry asked, looking at Draco.
“He
said he had some things to take care of some things but that mother would be
here.” He said looking around.
Uncle
Vernon huffed and made his way over, “Come along boy.” He growled, grabbing
Harry’s arm.
Harry
tried to pull away and Draco stepped forward, was about to speak when a blonde
woman walked over. She was slim and
tall, quite pretty, “I suggest you remove your hands from him.” She said in
disgust, “If you do not I shall call the authorities.”
He
narrowed his eyes, “Stay out of this woman.
He’s my nephew and I shall be taking him home now.”
Her
eyes narrowed and Draco swallowed hard, she was obviously his mother, “He is
not your nephew and you will be leaving him alone. If you do not then I shall call the
authorities.” She said calmly.
Harry’s
pendant had begun to glow; it obviously didn’t like Vernon
touching him. He jerked back and Harry
took that opportunity to back up with Draco, Veneficus hissing angrily on his
shoulder. Draco’s mother motioned for
the two boys to come with her, not seeing a problem with Vernon’s
behavior. Harry looked back for a moment
to see his uncle looking petrified after them.
Once
they were safely away she stopped, smiling at Harry, “I’m Narcissa.”
Harry
smiled back, “It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
“The
pleasure is mine.” She replied, “Shall we go home? Lucius and I have something for both of you.”
They
looked interested and couldn’t wait until they got back. Lucius greeted them with two small boxes and
a book, “First of all.” He said before they could even walk in, “Before I give
you each a small present Harry has to learn about his family history and Draco
needs to find out who he’s betrothed to, in that order. Understand?” They both nodded, “Good. Let’s go inside.” The four of them went
inside and Lucius ordered Harry to take a seat, “Draco, go with your mother
while I explain some things to Harry.”
Harry
chewed on his lip for a moment, “What do you need to tell me?”
“Now,
I have a feeling you’ve been fed misinformation by that Muggle-lover Dumbledore
but here’s what I need to tell you. Your
father was and is the Dark Lord Voldemort.
You are his heir and the heir of Slytherin. Your father isn’t dead, contrary to popular
belief, he is quite alive but we need a bit of your blood to revive him. That can wait though.” He paused, watching
various emotions cross Harry’s face, confusion, elation, and anger.
“Why
didn’t anyone tell me?” He asked sharply, “Why?” Tears threatened to spill from
his eyes but he held them back.
Lucius
sighed, “I was going to tell you Harry but if you had known when you were
eleven do you think you could have pretended not to? No, I told you now because you can handle
it.” He paused, “You can’t let anyone know what I have told you. When it is time your father shall return but
until then and even after you must keep your lineage a secret, understand?”
Harry nodded, “Good. Now, onto the other
matter which I will inform Draco of after you, I’m sure Draco told you about
wizarding traditions regarding marriage.
It was decided that the two of you would be partners. By the way you two act together you are
already on your way to being such.” He pulled out one of the boxes, “This is yours,
Draco shall receive one as well.” Harry looked at him in shock; he didn’t know
what to say. Carefully he took the
little box and opened it, gasping as he saw the silver band, a single emerald
imbedded in it, “Go ahead and put it on.”
Harry
didn’t have words to express how he was feeling. He had no real idea what he was feeling. Slowly he took it and put it on his left
hand. It fit perfectly. Suddenly he smiled, if they were betrothed
then it wouldn’t matter if he crawled into bed with him and the growing
feelings he was having towards his blonde friend wouldn’t be looked down upon
either.
Lucius
smiled at him, “This book is for you as well.
It has your entire family history on both sides.” He said,
Harry wasn’t paying complete attention to him; he couldn’t stop looking at the
ring. Lucius chuckled, “Alright Draco,
come in.” He ordered.
Draco
walked in and sat down next to Harry who still couldn’t stop looking at his
ring. Draco scowled but looked at
Lucius, “Yes father?”
“I
need to tell you who your betrothed is and give you
this.” He said, offering the box, “Don’t open it yet.” He ordered as Draco was
about to. He smiled at Harry, “Draco,
Harry is your betrothed.”
Draco
blinked and looked from Harry to his father then back again, “Really?” He asked
softly, blushing.
“Yes,
now open the box.” He said calmly.
Draco
chewed on his lip and opened the box, gasping at the silver ring. It was a match to Harry’s. With wide eyes he slipped it onto his left
hand, grey eyes sparkling happily.
“Lucius?” Harry asked, finally breaking himself out of his
ring induced stupor.
“Yes?”
He
gnawed on his lip, “Since my father isn’t James Potter, what’s my real
name? Is it Harry or is that what they
gave me?”
Lucius
half smiled, “Harry isn’t your real name but you’ll have to wait for your
father to tell you.”
Harry
sighed, “I really want to know though.”
Lucius
chuckled, “Patience Harry. Just enjoy
your summer and read up on your family.
Now off with you, do what ever it is you children do.” He said with a
laugh. Harry and Draco exchanged glances
before running off, “Kids.”
