oOoOoOo
The first years were huddled
together like little sheep being led to be slaughtered. Professor McGonagall
began calling names to see which house they would be sorted into. The old
leather torn hat went into its song and then was placed on the heads of the eleven year olds.
“Susan Bones.” Went to Hufflepuff.
“Ronald Weasley.” Joined his twins brothers in Gryffindor.
“Hermione Granger.” Also went to Gryffindor.
“Orion Black.” To his Mother’s
horror landed in Gryffindor.
“Sheridan Black.”
Got lucky and was sorted into Slytherin.
Severus’ heart lurched – the twins were separated. Damn
Sirius and his Gryffindor genes. The Potions master sat on pins and needles
waiting to hear the outcome of his godchildren. He had taken over the role of godfather since Sirius’ imprisonment.
“Draco Malfoy.” Sauntered off to
Slytherin. Severus almost sighed, but he didn’t breathe just yet.
“Harry Potter.”
The hall went deathly silent. Harry cautiously ascended the
steps to sit on the stool, wishing that Draco was with him or at least his
father.
Professor McGonagall placed the raggedy old hot on top of
his head. Instantly the hat came to life and
whispered in his head.
“Well, well another
Potter or should I say Malfoy,” the hat said with some
amusement.
“I want to be with my brother, please,” Harry begged.
“Slytherin, eh? Hmm, let’s see…ah, yes, you have a thirst to prove yourself, not a bad
mind either and Slytherin will help you on your way to greatness, Mr. Malfoy,
but what’s this? You
have plenty of courage. There’s no doubt about where to put you…”
Then the hat shouted out for all to hear…”GRYFFINDOR!”
The table erupted. Once Harry sat down he looked across the hall – two pair of eyes watched him with
sadness.
Severus closed his eyes. Lucius was going to have kittens
over this.
“Don’t worry Harry, I’m here with you,” Orion declared, squeezing his friend’s hand under the table where nobody could see.
“I know. I’m just worried about what Dad will say.”
oOoOoOo
Lucius Malfoy didn’t know what say when he was conversing
with Severus later that night after the sorting feast. Harry was in Gryffindor.
/Damn, James and his Gryffindor traits/ he grimaced then
thought, /Not that Severus is doing any better./
How was he going to survive with his son in the loin’s den?
Harry was too shy and quiet to make friends on his own, no thanks to the Dursley’s. He would have to worry about this unfortunately
situation at another time. He needed some rest he had another meeting with the
school Governor’s. Even since their little backstabbing escapade back in ’81 he
made sure that the Governor’s knew not to incite his wrath again. A few well
placed curses can to wonders for morale.
oOoOoOo
Later that night, Harry was looking out of the window
stroking Hedwig lovingly, when the other first years entered
the dorm preparing to go to bed. One of the boys decided to find out why the
famous Harry Potter was hanging so closely with the
Malfoy heir.
“So, Potter, what’s the deal with you and Malfoy?” the red
head asked.
“What do you mean?”
“You guys were standing awfully close during the sorting
feast. I was just wandering if there were more to you two.”
“That really isn’t any of you business, Weasley,” a third
voice cut in.
Harry looked over at his childhood friend, silently thanking
him.
All eyes turned to the dark haired boy with black eyes.
“If it isn’t Orion Black. Have you
talked to your Father recently? I’m sure your Mother-”
“Leave my Mother out of this,” the young Black hissed. He
didn’t take kindly to people insulting his Mother or Father, both was a touchy
subject.
“Oh, I’m scared. Please, Black, the minute your Father got
shipped off to Azkaban your Mother turned tail and ran,” Ron mocked while the
other boys snickered, but that died off once they found themselves at wand
point.
“I don’t make it a habit of warning people about making fun
of my family; and for your information Weasley my Mother is here, you just
don’t know it. So, if I were you, I’d be careful ‘cause if he finds out that
you’re picking on his godson, or worse, bad mouthing his husband, my Mum won’t hesitate in
melting the skin off your bones,” Orion declared.
He wasn’t going to let another thing happen to his family. He just hoped that his sister was
fairing better than Harry and him.
oOoOoOo
Transfigurations were a pain much to Harry’s embarrassment.
He already disliked his Head of House for what
she said to him for being late, and it didn’t help that he couldn’t sit with
Orion. He got stuck with that snob Weasley. If only the red head knew?!
The second class of the day was Potions. Harry and Orion sat
in the front row (on time) and next to them was Draco and Sheridan.
First Year Gryffindors and Slytherins were together.
The professor entered the classroom with a bang, walking
briskly down to the front to turn sharply with a stop – talking as he went.
“There will be no foolish wand waving or silly incantations
in this class.”
The Malfoy boys smiled at their godfather’s flare for trying
to scare them. The Black heirs rolled their eyes at their Mother.
“As such, I don’t expect many of you to appreciate the
subtle science and exact art that is Potion making. However, for those select
few who possess the predisposition…”
The professor slowly wrapped his robe around himself
continuing in a low sensual tone keeping the
youngsters captivated. “I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the
senses. I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even put a stopper
in death…”
Severus eyed his students.
Onyx orbs were searching for his next victim. “Then again maybe some of you
have come to Hogwarts in possession of abilities so formidable that you feel
confident enough to NOT.PAY.ATTENTION!”
Dark roaming eyes landed on their target.
“Mr. Weasley, I’m sure that since your brothers are decent
Potion brewers, masters in the making, perhaps you can tell me the difference
between monkshood and wolfsbane?”
Everyone was staring at Ron waiting for him to answer, but
the red head remained quiet.
“You don’t know?”
He shook his head negatively. Severus sneered at him then
focused on the whole class.
“Can any one tell me?” Severus looked around – several hands
shot up.
“Mr. Potter, our new celebrity…tell
me.”
Harry heard the joking undertone. “Monkshood and wolfsbane
are of the same plant, which also goes by the
name of aconite, sir,” he explained proudly.
Ron’s face colored the same as his hair, clearly mortified,
which didn’t stop there as the teacher went on to skewer him.
“So, Mr. Weasley, can you tell me what would I get if I
added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?”
Again, Ron shook his head no.
“Seeing that you do not have your
brothers’ brewing skill it would best to pay attention when I’m talking…the
consequences would be most unfavorable.”
Severus pulled up a chair in front of the frightened youth and began his lecture. After a few minutes of
talking he said, “Well? Why aren’t you all copying this down?”
Two hours later class was over. Severus told his kids and
godsons to remain behind. As soon as the other students were gone they all
cracked-up laughing.
“What’s so funny Orion?”
“Mum, please, you nearly made Weasley wet himself,” he said.
Severus allowed himself a small smirk. “I’m glad to see that
I was able to make your morning, son.” Turning to Harry.
“And how was your night?”
Harry immediately put his head down knowing that his
godfather could read his mind. “It was fine, sir.”
The older wizard raised an eyebrow and
looked sideways to his son.
“It was bloody awful, Mum. The kids were teasing the
‘boy-who-lived’, and were cracking jokes about Dad.”
“Who?”
“Who else? That
git, Weasley.”
“Don’t worry much about him
or the others, just
stick together. Here’s a note for your next class. Oh, by-the-way, Harry and
Draco, your Father will be visiting the school again tonight. Come to my
chambers after dinner.”
After the kids left and Severus’ next class filled the room, he contemplated
briefly on his life, which wasn’t much of one, since his husband’s wrongful
incarceration. Somehow, the Potions master was going to get Fudge for
breaking-up his family, and for making him loose his babies.
oOoOoOo
“But Daddy I wanna go there now! Why can’t I go!” the little
amber-eyed girl screeched, stomping her feet.
“Because princess, you’re not old enough, yet. You will be
able to go to Hogwarts next year.”
Remus looked to his mate for help but Regulus
merely shook his head letting the older wizard
know that he was not going to assist in any way whatsoever.
“Sam…” Remus bent down to his
daughter’s height. “I know you want to be with Harry and Draco as well as with
you cousins but-”
“No, Daddy! Harry is in danger. Please…can’t you say that I
want to visit Uncle Severus or something, please,” the little heart breaker
begged.
The werewolf sighed. He knew he was making a big mistake by
letting a ten year old manipulate him. “I’ll fire call Grandpa Albus and see
what he says.”
The Remus-replica pounced on him. “Oh, thank you Daddy! I
love you,” she shouted as she ran from the kitchen.
Regulus stopped nursing his son
and placed the infant over his shoulder and patted him gently on the back before
giving his husband his attention. Once the baby
was nestled in the crook of his arm, Regulus burst out laughing.
“This is not funny, Reg,” Remus hotly hissed.
“Oh, yes it is. Sam knew exactly what she was doing. I’m
impressed. If she
keeps going like this she’ll end up in Slytherin.”
Remus rolled his eyes – as if any child of his would end up
in that house. “I only relented
because she seemed genuinely worried about Harry.”
“You know as well as I do that she has a crush on Harry,” Regulus replied softly.
There werewolf sat in the chair closest
to his mate while carefully lifting the sleeping infant from Regulus. Remus gazed lovingly at his partner. Regulus smiled only to drop his head blushing from the
admiring looks from Remus. Even after all these years, Remus still managed to make him glow all warm and fuzzy inside.
“I’m going to put this little guy to bed then I’m contacting Dumbledore. Why don’t you take a nap too,”
Remus suggested as Regulus struggled to his feet.
At just being a little over four months pregnant Regulus Black was huge. Remus was (if not more so) shocked
than Regulus when they went for Regulus’
three month check-up, and was told that his mate was with child for the fourth
time.
The young wizards were pleased but this time around they thought their luck might have run out. Regulus was too scared to ask on his last visit if he was
carrying more than one child. He was too afraid that he would end up like his
brother-in-law and friend. Both Severus and Lucius, lost their spouses because of unforeseen
circumstances and he couldn’t bear it if
anything happened to Remus.
Because of archaic werewolf laws, he and Remus couldn’t
properly wed, but certain mating and breeding rights did allow werewolves
(especially Alphas) to publicly claim their mates as well as live with them.
In addition to that, any
offspring were allowed to attend any wizarding schools and work at any post
without the bias against werewolves. Times indeed had changed, now if they
could only get Fudge out of office life would be grand.
oOoOoOo
As it turned out, Sam’s intuitions
turned out to be correct. Harry was indeed in danger, which was highlighted at
his Quidditch match when he nearly fell from his broom.
The next incident happened in the Forbidden
Forest when the messy haired
Gryffindor was attacked by who he believes was You-Know-Who. Lucius was not
happy about that or the fact that both his sons was serving detention in the forest to begin with for being
out past curfew.
The proceeding mishap occurred in Defense Against
the Dark Arts when Harry was almost struck with
a stray curse. No one admitted to it but Harry firmly believed that Ron threw
it because he, Draco, Sheridan, and Orion were the only ones capable to cast
defense shields and a mild jinx.
What nearly did Lucius in, was when at the end
of the year it was discovered that Quirrell was the one behind trying to kill
his son.
Fortunately, his kids were smart enough to figure out (with
Miss Granger’s help) that Voldemort was after the
Philosopher’s stone. Harry in a flash of bravery fought Quirrell in the
dungeons and came out victorious.
Managing to prove himself as
more than capable of taking care of himself, Harry smiled at his Father during
the end feast as Gryffindor was awarded the House Cup.
oOoOoOo
Platform 9 ¾ was filled with the flurry of children returning back home to their families who hadn’t seen them for
almost a year.
One blond in particular was solemn. Lucius told Draco to
head to the limousine while he talked with Harry.
“Do I have to go, Daddy?”
“Yes, son, I’m afraid so. There’s nothing that I can do,
Fudge made sure that you stay with Aunt Lily’s sister during the summer
vacation.”
Harry hugged his father around the waist. They were standing
in Muggle central now since no one knew about his relation to the Malfoy heir.
Fudge kept that out of the papers as well. Their happy moment was interrupted
by a harsh cough.
Lucius stood erect and glared down at his deceased friend
sister’s husband. Vernon Dursley was an overly large man and Lucius didn’t like
him. He knew something was going on with Harry, for every time he returned from staying with the Durselys
over the summer, and every time he inquired about it, Harry would clam up stating that everything
was fine.
His son was on the small side. Draco was much larger than
Harry and was growing in leaps and bounds while Harry was more delicate and
easy to bruise.
“Harry, promise me that if anything happens, please contact
me or Severus even Dumbledore, please,” Lucius asked.
“Okay, Daddy, I will.” But Harry kept his fingers crossed
behind his back knowing that he wouldn’t be able to keep such a promise.
With a heavy heart, Lucius watched his son depart with the
heavy set man, counting down to the day of his first monthly visit.
oOo TBC oOo
A/N: Well, how was that? I know it was kind of sad toward
the end but I’m setting up for the next chapter. Were you happy that Remus and Regulus was added in as well? I
hope so. I did get some comments about when were they going to come back on the scene.
Now, the question is should Regulus
be pregnant with twins or not? Let me know. I haven’t decided on that one.
What’s going on with Harry? He’s at the Dursley’s – how
in world did that happen? Well, to find out, stay tuned for the next chapter.
oOo Teaser for Chapter 10 oOo
“Daddy, please, something is wrong with Harry,” Draco said
with some trepidation. “Hermione has written to me
saying that she hasn’t heard even once from him, and Ori and Sheri are saying the
same thing.”
“I agree with Draco, Lucius, ever
since the Christmas hols, that boy has been acting differently,” Lucien added
with his grandson.
“Well, seeing that we get to visit with him for the weekend,
I will get to the bottom of this,” Lucius finally said.
