-Chapter Twelve-
Stopping at the door leading into his fathers study, Harry hesitated before opening the door and walking in. Glaring at Draco, who was already seated next Sirius on the small Love seat, Harry dropped ungracefully into the chair he had recently abandoned.
The group sat there is silence for a few minutes before Harry turned to look at his 'mum' and said, "So mum how does it feel to be here?"
Grinning, Harry watched as Sirius started to chuckle and James just looked at him blinking.
"Harry, what...what did you call me?" James asked rubbing at his ears.
Grinning even wider, Harry said, "Well you carried me for nine months and gave birth to me, so that does make you my mum."
Turning to glare at Sirius, James said, "Did you put him up to this Padfoot?"
Looking him straight in the eye Sirius said, "No mum but I wish I did." Collapsing sideways, Sirius grabbed his stomach and leaned against Draco's shoulder.
Looking pleased with the outcome, Draco just grinned and took in his mates closeness.
"If I had my wand with me you wouldn't be laughing Sirius." James said crossing his arms.
Leaning back in his chair, Harry let out a sigh as the banter helped him relax and almost forgot about Voldemort and his dream.
Chuckling, Lucius pulled James closer to him and rubbed his arm. "Come now James, our son speaks the truth, and it does make it easier if he calls you mum."
Opening his mouth to retort, James was silenced by Severus brushing their lips together in a soft kiss.
Blushing, Harry rolled his eyes up towards the ceiling trying to ignore his parents kissing. Lowering his eyes, Harry was in time to see them break their kiss before Lucius tilted James' face towards his and indulged in his own kiss. Giving a choked groan, Harry set his head on the back of the chair and rubbed his eyes.
Hearing the fire crackle, Harry lowered his head and watched at the flames turned green before Voldemort gracefully exited the flames.
As his breath caught in his throat, Harry locked eyes with Voldemort and watched as his eyes flashed to a emerald green color before the red seeped back into dominance.
Thinking that it was a trick of the light, Harry stood up and lowered his eyes. Rolling his shoulders as a sharp pain shot through them, Harry missed the grin that Draco tossed his way. Glancing up slightly, Harry watched as Voldemort scanned the room.
"My lord thank you for coming." Lucius said bowing his head in respect.
"Thank you for informing me of our situation." Voldemort said with a small sort of grin on his lips. "This was wonderful news to receive...even if it was very early in the morning."
Giving a sheepish grin, Lucius looked towards the chair next to Harry and said, "Please sit my lord. Would you care for something to drink?" Lucius asked sitting back down next to James.
"No." Voldemort said taking the seat leaning against the arm closest to Harry. "What I would like to know is how are you back Sirius? I remember seeing you fall through the veil?" Voldemort asked with a look of interest and slight remorse at the memory.
Looking down at his hands, Sirius remained quiet for a few minutes while he tried to put his memories into words for the others.
"It was odd I remember protecting Harry then getting hit with a spell and falling through the veil. After that I was surrounded in a thick, cloying darkness for what seemed like days and I seemed to be slipping in and out of consciousness. When I woke next the darkness wasn't so bad and a voice was talking to me. It told me to pronounce either my innocence or my guilt, if I spoke the truth my life would be reviewed and if I was proven innocent I would be expelled from the veil." Pausing, Sirius took a sip of the drink that Severus had just handed him.
"So of course I said that I was innocent. As soon as I said that I was surrounded by my life from at least age three, until I fell through the veil. It seemed like that took only a few hours to go over all of the information, but I was slipping in and out of consciousness again. The next time I woke I watched as I was hit by Bellatrix's spell and tossed through the veil. Then there seemed to be a few voices talking back and forth before the voice I had first heard told me that I had been wrongly cast into the veil and was being released back into life. There was a few seconds pause then I felt like I was being pulled through a portkey and I landed outside of the veil in the ministry."
"So the veil judges whether or not you really belong in there?" Harry asked seemingly awed.
"Yes, when I came out of the veil Dumbledore was there. He took me to where you found James and myself and he was complaining that they couldn't control the veil, that it didn't keep the wrongfully accused."
Sighing, Harry lowered his head and said, "So he had a part in this as well?"
"Unfortunately yes, he did Harry. He's a manipulative old man who will do anything to get what he wants." Sirius answered. Coughing, Sirius took another sip of his drink to soothe his throat since he wasn't used to talking this much.
"You needn't worry about Bellatrix for a while. I have told her to stay away from they next few meetings that I hold for attacking one of my men. As Lucius can attest I only gave orders for curses to be thrown at Dumbledore and his order...unless we were being attacked." Voldemort said turning to look at Harry.
Tilting his head down even further, Harry frowned and said, "Then you shouldn't have sent me that vision of you attacking Sirius. I wouldn't have went there if I had known that Sirius was safe!"
Although it was masked significantly well, there were slight traces of confusion in Voldemorts face. "I have no idea of what you're talking about Harry. I cannot send you visions, I can pull you into a conversation like I did on your birthday, but I cannot alter your dreams."
Frowning even more, Harry looked up and opened his mouth as if he was going to say something before he shook his head and closed his mouth.
"What is it Harry?" Severus asked with a frown of his own.
"I was just thinking; do you think Dumbledore could have been doing that as well? Giving me the visions that is. I mean aren't there wizards who have the power to alter dreams?"
"Maybe, but Dumbledore would have wanted the wizarding world to know that he was so powerful that he could alter another's dreams." Severus said curling his lips.
"Unless he had a good reason not to. Remember Severus Dumbledore is a smart wizard and rarely acts without thinking." Voldemort said rubbing his chin.
Leaning against the arm of his chair closest to Voldemort, Harry pulled his legs up underneath him and nibbled at his bottom list.
"Is there any way we can trick him into doing it?" Harry asked.
"How do you mean?" James asked looking at Harry.
"Well he can change dreams but what if you were already in my head with me?" Harry asked looking at Voldemort. "If you and I were in a meeting of sorts, wouldn't you get pulled in along with me if I wanted you to?"
Looking at Harry, Voldemort grinned and said, "I believe you may have a good idea there. If I was already there with your permission to see the dream there's no way he could lock me out."
"How would you get him to play with your dreams though?" Draco asked curiously.
"I was thinking that I could tell him that Voldemort has been eerily quiet this summer, that I haven't had any dreams lately. Now that I think about it after I'd tell Dumbledore that I'd have another dream within the next two days." Harry said letting his head rest on his shoulder.
"But you haven't picked up occlumency yet. If he checks your mind and finds out that you're lying he could try and get rid of you." Severus said frowning.
"Well what if I acted scared because someone looking like Sirius and my father approached me this summer? Do you think he'd skip over the invasion if I told him that?"
"Maybe, but I still don't think it's a good idea because Dumbledore isn't one that can be predicted often."
"Well what if you caught me "wandering the halls" after hours and decided to escort me up to his office? That way you could be up there in case something happened." Harry said biting at his lip.
"We still have a week and a half before the new school year starts again so we will work out any errors at a later date." Severus said after thinking it over. "I will, however, start teaching you occlumency again. With all of this information you have it's dangerous not to be able to protect your mind."
Nodding, Harry took a deep breath only to take another as a sweet scent reached his nose: it was a mix of something Harry couldn't identify and a musky scent that mixed together like ambrosia to Harry's nose. Tilting his eyes to the side while still taking deep breaths, Harry noticed Voldemort was taking deep breaths as well.
Glancing around the room nonchalantly, Harry noticed that no one else was breathing deeply to take in the scent that seemed to permeate the air. Looking back at Draco, Harry frowned when he saw he was staring at him with a grin on his face.
'What?' Harry mouthed.
Shaking his head, Draco continued to grin and leaned into Sirius taking his own deep breath.
"How has everything been going since Sirius and I have been gone my lord?" James asked lifting his feet and set them on Severus' lap and leaned his head on Lucius' shoulder.
"Unfortunately there hasn't been much change. After I supposedly killed you my body was destroyed and I was just a spirit floating around and I wasn't brought back until Harry was in his fourth year. That was fourteen years we lost along with many followers and trust because of it." Voldemort said clenching his hands into fists in anger.
"You didn't gain any of that trust back while you were back? Harry's fourth year was two years ago." James said.
"I was slightly psychotic when I came back. I focused on finding and destroying Harry." Voldemort said rubbing at his forehead. "Needless to say Harry and I believe that Dumbledore is responsible for that."
"Harry you seem rather comfortable around him after that." James said turning to look at Harry.
"I have no reason not to be comfortable around him; he's done nothing wrong. We were just tricked into believing that he did." Harry said shrugging his shoulders seemingly nonchalant while inside he was steaming.
As the group lapsed into a comfortable silence, a small house elf popped into the room bowing to the seated men.
"Master Lucius sir, Tizzy be telling yous breakfast is ready."
Giving a nod, Lucius dismissed the house elf then stood placing his arm around James when he stood and made sure his arm was rubbing against Severus' when he wrapped an arm around James as well.
"My lord, would you like to join us for breakfast?" Lucius asked.
Standing Voldemort inhaled deeply and said, "Yes, I believe that I shall join you Lucius."
Standing as well, Harry waited for Draco to move near him then grabbed a hold of his arm.
"I want to talk to you while we walk." Harry whispered when Draco gave him a curious glance.
Nodding, Draco held back while the rest of the group made their way out of the room.
"What is it that you wanted to talk about?" Draco asked when they left the room following behind the elders of the group.
"Why have you been grinning at me all morning like you know something that I don't? Does it have to do with your earlier reaction when I mentioned my eyes?" Harry asked whispering watching the group in front of them.
"Look I do know something that I haven't told you, but once you figure out what it is you'll be happy that I didn't tell you. It's an amazing feeling when you're able to figure it out without any help."
"Can't you just tell me? I don't have much patience when it comes to puzzles." Harry said making a face.
"No, I won't tell you now. BUT if you can't figure it out before we go back to school I'll tell you." Draco said when Harry opened his mouth to say something else. "Don't worry though, I think you'll figure it out before long." Draco said grinning when he noticed Voldemort turn to glance at them then scowl at how close they were standing.
Picking up his pace, Draco moved up next to Sirius and started up a conversation with him while Voldemort dropped back next to Harry.
Looking up through his lashes at him Harry gave a soft smile and said, "Hi."
Giving his own grin Voldemort said, "Hello Harry. You seem to be taking all of this fairly well."
Without needing him to expand on what he was talking about, Harry moved slightly closer to him and said, "Of course I am. I love having a family I can call my own, and I may not have had the best encounters with you, but they were all based on false information. So until you give me a reason not to trust you, well, I'm going to trust you."
"That is very good." Voldemort said.
Smiling, Harry walked down the hall in silence making sure to take deep breaths to inhale the scent that was quickly becoming his favorite. Bowing his head slightly, Harry nibbled at his lips wondering why no one else besides Voldemort and himself seemed to be affected by the scent.
Stopping in his tracks, Harry looked towards Voldemort, who had stopped when he did, and was looking at him in confusion.
"Is something wrong Harry?" He asked.
"I...I...I think I found my mate." Harry answered before his eyes rolled up into his head and he fell towards the ground.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Giving a groan, Harry felt consciousness slowly returning to his body. Opening his eyes, Harry looked to his side and saw his parents and Draco grouped near the door leading into his room looking at the thing beside him that was growling at them.
Turning his head the other way, Harry was shocked to find Voldemort perched next to him on the bed with long fangs bared at the group near the door and wings fully extended trying to scare them off.
Sitting up Harry rubbed at his head and looked towards his parents. "What's going on?"
"You passed out on the way to the dining room. We heard you fall and came back towards you, but our lord transformed into that and hasn't let us come near you since." James said watching Voldemort.
"So it's true then he is my mate." Harry said as Voldemort pulled him into his arms and nuzzled his neck.
"Yes it is true, but I am wondering how he became a magical creature. He has never had creature blood in his body before." Severus said looking confused.
"How is that possible?" Harry asked while cuddling against his mate.
"It shouldn't be possible. It's never happened before." Lucius said.
Looking up at his mate, Harry watched as the fangs slowly receded back into his gums to be replaced by his normal teeth and his wings folded against his back then disappeared into his skin. His eyes which had been fully red with no sign of the pupil slowly returned to their normal color.
Watching as Voldemort slowly returned to normal, Harry nibbled at his lip and snuggled closer to him.
Looking down at Harry, Voldemort took a deep breath and leaned down towards Harry.
"Mine." Voldemort whispered then gently brushed his lips against Harry's.
"Yes, yours." Harry whispered back before he pulled away with a blush.
"My lord, how is it that you're a magical creature?" Severus called out frowning when his child was kissed.
Looking up towards them, Voldemort shrugged his shoulders and said, "I have no idea, as much as I dislike anyone knowing many people know that I am a half blood."
"Well this is something that we must figure out then. Why don't we head down to the dining hall and eat then we can figure out how this happened." Lucius suggested trying to get Voldemort and Harry out of the bed.
Standing up from the bed, Harry started to walk towards his family stopping slightly when Voldemort wrapped an arm around his waist.
Enjoying the feeling, Harry let his head rest against his mates shoulder and walked with him down the hall towards the dining hall.
