Chapter Nine – Settling In

Hermione arrived back at the manor in time to have the fireplace light up behind her. She witnessed Harry step through with Blaise Zabini and Theodore Nott and a woman who closely resembled Blaise. Hermione rushed to Harry’s side when she noticed the status of Nott. “What bloody well happened to him?”

Harry just sighed as they continued to walk through the room, “Apparently, the Malfoy’s weren’t the only family with submissive rituals. Let’s just say that Edwin Nott won’t be hurting anyone anymore.”

She stopped for a moment and tapped her foot and crossed her arms, “What did you do Harry James Potter?”

“Look, I will explain everything after we get him to the guest room. He needs to rest still and I need Severus to look him over. I’ll get him as soon as we have Theo settled.” Harry brushed her off before he pulled his wand and levitated Theo up the stairs and into the guest room.

Hermione continued to follow him because she needed to apprise him of their meeting at Gringotts. After he settled the blond into one of two single sized beds in the room, she finally spoke. “Harry, I have discovered too many inconsistencies with my research, so I decided it would be best if we met with the goblins at Gringotts. I made an appointment at noon with them. I need you to come with me, Fred, and George. Also, we need to bring as many of your mates as possible. I really think that inheritance rituals are required in this instance.”

Harry nodded before looking at her with a sparkle in his green eyes that she couldn’t help but compare with Dumbledore, “I think that’s brilliant. I was going to suggest the same thing after returning from Avalon. Now, Theo and Draco cannot come with us because they are still healing. I’m sure that Remus will remain too tired in between transformations, so it would be best to leave him in the cellar. We can move him up to one of our bedrooms after his final transformation this evening. I’m sure that we can leave those three here with Blaise and his mother, Mariposa Zabini. Now, let me go get Severus to check on Theo.”

Hermione just shrugged before walking out of the room and looking for her mates. She found Fred and George waiting for her in the library. They had books open before them and George looked up from one, “So, there’s something I just don’t understand about Harry and his mates. How can some of his dominants be both dominant and submissive?”

She sat down and sighed, “I cannot pretend to know everything about Harry’s creature, as I have found absolutely no empirical evidence. There’s nothing, not even a legend about his being. However, if I were to guess something about his mates’ dichotomy is that it is close to that of a wolf pack. Harry is the Alpha of the pack and thus above everyone. The level below him are the betas, which are the other dominant mates like Severus, Sirius, and I’m guessing that Remus would be dominant as he’s a bleeding werewolf. However, I have yet to do too much research into werewolves, so for all I know there could be different types like Harry’s mates. However, they tend to only submit to their alphas sometimes even if they tend to be an alpha themselves. The last type of mate is omega, which would be the submissive mates like Lucius and Draco.”

Fred shrugged, “I guess that makes some sense.”

Harry walked into his bedroom to find two of his mates having breakfast in bed. He smiled at the scene before him and realized that the two before him wouldn’t have to work on their relationship. It was obvious that they were already very close. Harry could only assume the same could be said for their relationship with Maeve. However, Severus hadn’t show any inclination to any of the submissive mate’s yet. Harry was aware of the ideal pairs that would occur between his betas and omegas. He two would have one, but again, he wasn’t feeling a pull toward anyone of his omegas. Harry could only assumed that his ideal mate was one of the omegas that had yet to come into their inheritance, or one of the two he had yet to meet. He would continue to watch his mates to see which are drawn to each other. It was his job as an alpha to encourage strong relationships within his harem. He would still be involved in many more conceptions, as he was still the only one who could impregnate any of his betas.

He paused in his line of thought realizing that only time would assist in the true mates’ appearances. He would do his job as alpha until everyone paired off. He looked over at his Veela omega and took in all of the changes. He was has handsome as ever except he looked healthier. His grey tinged complexion was now a warm cream. His hair had more body and life to it. Harry smiled realizing he really liked the curls. However, it was the now predominate blood red Cupid’s bow lips that caught his attention. He just wanted to kiss those before dipping his tongue in between and sample his little cupid’s sweet palate. In the end, it was the crystal clear blue eyes that drew him in like fresh pool of water in the middle of the Sahara. He cleared his throat gaining the two’s attention, “Draco, I must say that you are looking quite edible now. I can only assume you will only become irresistible when you come into your inheritance. When is your birthday, anyway?”

The blond raised an eyebrow, “I just had my 16^th birthday. It is June 5^th.”

Harry nodded, “So, you’ll likely be the last of the omegas to come into his inheritance.” He turned to Severus, “We’ll still have another year of education after he becomes eligible for mating. I think we should probably put him on a biannual potion for pregnancy prevention. We should probably give him his first dose before we leave for Hogwarts. I think that you and Sirius should also switch from the monthly to the biannual. We should also dose Theo because I’m not sure what inheritance he will face, but I know he is likely to have a shorter gestation period. I think it best for us to finish our N.E.W.T.s and make career plans before we have our first cubs, kits, clutch, pups, or whatever else our inherent beings would call our young. I already know that potions won’t work on Blaise because he’s likely to take after his mother. Sexual beings like the succubus and incubi are always far too fertile for contraception to work. Luckily, their gestation period is 24 months, so we will have finished our education before he welcomes his first child.”

Severus’ eyes widened, “Well, aren’t you a source of knowledge.”

Harry shrugged, “I spent almost two weeks in Avalon learning about my kind and my mates. You would expect some of it to stick.” He looked over at the table while he thought about how to express his need for Severus’ healing skills without divulging his recent murder. He furrowed his brow as he recognized the book that was filled with his notes from Avalon. He pointed at it, “Where did that come from?”

Severus looked over at the green book on the nightstand, “I don’t know. I just woke with it poking me in the side. I must admit that I am not familiar with it at all.”

Harry smiled as he picked up the book running his fingers over the Celtic knots, “I wouldn’t expect you to be familiar with a book filled with my notes. I’m just surprised that I was able to bring it back from Avalon with me. Apparently, there is more to that place than even I understood.” He looked back up from the book and locked eyes with Severus, “I have yet to mention that I’m in need of your assistance. Suffice to say, the Malfoys weren’t the only ones with submissive rituals. I fear that another one of our omega mates was subjected to his father’s torture. He’s been healed a bit but Mariposa, but I fear that even she doesn’t know how to heal burns from a heated tire iron. Also the location of such a burn is in a very delicate spot. He’ll probably need to remain in bed until we leave for King’s Cross.”

Severus paled and quickly pulled his wand to dress before flicking it at Draco, who was instantly dressed in black silk pajamas. “Draco will need to come with us. I do not want to leave him alone, as he should also remain in bed until we leave for King’s Cross. He still has quite a bit of healing to do. I want him to be fully acclimated to his new body before he attempts walking for the first time. I shall levitate him.”

Harry nodded, “I was going to suggest you bring him along. We have a meeting at Gringotts. We’ll need to leave Blaise, Theo, and Draco here while we go. I wanted them all in the same room that way Blaise could get his mother if they need anything. I’ve got two single beds in there right now, but I think I’ll ask the elves to add a double for you and Draco. I don’t want you sleeping alone when I’m spending another night under the full moon with Remus.”

Severus scowled, “You mean that Lupin is one of your mates? Just how many Gryffindors will I have to deal with?”

Harry smiled, “Don’t worry you won’t have to sleep alone at Hogwarts. You and Sirius will be sharing quarters. We don’t want Dumbledore to discover the truth and thus you two will pretend to be lovers while we’re there. It will give the two of you a chance to work on your relationship and neither one of you will have to sleep alone. You know that Maeve will be in my dorm room with me. Draco, Blaise, and Theo will be sharing a dorm room with Crabbe and Goyle like they have since first year. It’s really the only option you have. Remus will be staying here with Mariposa. I still have to figure out how I am going to spend three nights during the full moon with him. Moony really needs his alpha during the full moon, after all. I’m sure I’ll think of something.”

“I can’t believe you’re making me share quarters with that mutt. If you want two living mates, I would suggest you rethink that one.” Severus growled before casting a levitation charm on Draco and heading out of the room. Harry walked in front of him leading the way. He called an elf and asked that a double bed be added to the guest room where two single beds were to remain. It was only a few moments before Severus had Draco settled into the double bed.

Severus looked over at the covered Theo, who still looked pale from everything that he endured. “Now, I am going to start by casting diagnostic charms on you. I need to be apprised of all of your injuries. I understand how difficult it is to speak after such a traumatic event, so I will not ask it of you.” Harry was a bit flabbergasted at how his gruff mate actually had a bedside manner when dealing with his snakes. Perhaps he was a better Head of House than Harry ever thought possible.

The willowy wizard just nodded, but didn’t speak as the magic circled around him. The only shock that could be seen on Severus’ stoic face was the widening of his eyes. He managed to hide all other emotions from his face and had improved his metamorphic abilities so that his emotions no longer affected the silvery white hair he normally wore. The time seemed to pass forever while Harry watched the scene unfold. Everyone else remained just as silent as him.

Severus was the one who finally broke the silence. “It will take some time for all of your wounds to heal. I fear that you have some internal injuries that will require a healing potion colonic. I will not put you through that process until before you go to bed tonight. However, I will need to put a spell on you that will vanish your waste byproducts until you have fully healed. I don’t want you to develop any infections.” He swiped his wand and cast a few spells on the still healing omega before turning toward Draco, “I will also need to place those spells on you, as well.”

Harry walked over to the bed of one of his newest mates, “Theo, I am sorry that I couldn’t get to you sooner. I wish that never happened to you. You’re precious to me and I hate to see any of you hurting.” He reached up and ran his fingers along the startled wizard’s hairline, “I’ve already suggested that Severus make a biannual contraceptive potion for you and a few of our other mates. Don’t think I don’t want you to carry our young; however, I want us all to finish our education first. Blaise will just have to deal because he’ll likely be of a magical breed that contraceptive potions won’t work anyway. I was wondering something. When is your next birthday?”

Theo’s dark blue eyes seemed to glisten with unshed tears, “My birthday is April 3. I understand why you wouldn’t want me to carry your young. You know there’s no need to try to reassure me. My father already helped me understand how useless I am. I don’t need my future mate to have that discussion with me.”

Harry gasped, “No, Theo. That’s not what I was saying, at all. Have you ever thought about what you want to do with your life after Hogwarts?”

The pale wizard shook his head no, “I don’t have a right to make plans without my dominant’s permission. I would never consider being anything above my station. I understand what my life will consist of after I graduate. I’m expected to keep the home perfect and prepare for children. I’ll stay at home and make sure all our heirs remain healthy. I understand now that it will be our other mate’s young that I will help raise, as I am not meant to have any of my own.”

Harry felt his mouth drop open and he couldn’t even fathom a response. Thus, he turned away from his second youngest mate and just looked at Blaise, “Has he ever shown an interest in anything at school? I know you’re his brother and friend. Surely, you’d know.”

Blaise’s red velvet eyes locked with his, “He really should’ve been sorted into Ravenclaw. He’s a total bookworm and has a thirst for knowledge. He hasn’t stated what he wanted to do for a career, but I have a feeling that he would do well as a researcher. I could see him writing future text books for Hogwarts. He’s really the scholarly type.”

Harry sighed in relief, “We still have plenty of time to discover what he has interest in doing. I don’t expect any of you to just stay home with the children. I mean if one of you really has an interest in doing that, then I would be okay with it, but I don’t think that’s what’s going on here. I fear Theo needs to undergo a cleansing ritual. I believe he’s under compulsion charms placed there by that despicable Nott. Now, so that we may change the subject, when is your birthday?”

The Italian looked down at his brother in the bed, “I will come into my inheritance on November 5^th. I must admit that I’m a bit afraid. I hear that it can be very painful, not accounting for the heat, and the unquenchable need to be filled. How can I possibly go through this while still a student at Hogwarts?”

Harry pulled him into a hug, “Don’t worry you won’t be alone. You belong with us Blaise and we’ll make sure you get through that inheritance.”

Severus’ scathing voice broke it up, “Well, isn’t this touching. Didn’t you say something about a meeting we all need to attend in a half an hour’s time?”

Harry pulled away and cast a quick tempus. “Well, crap. Blaise, will you please watch over these two while we’re gone?”

Blaise looked up at him and smiled, “I’m sure we can find something to entertain ourselves with, while you’re gone. I’m just happy that I won’t have to search for my mate when this November arrives. We have time to get to know each other, as well. Do you by chance have any books on your family tree?”

Harry just shrugged, “They are in the library. Just call Dobby and he will bring them up to you.”

Hermione was sitting in the library looking over many other books when one was placed atop the one she was reading. Her brows furrowed as she opened it, “What the bloody hell am I supposed to do with this? It written in Coptic, do you know how long it will take me to translate this?”

She blew a curl out of her face before looking up at a surprised Harry. “I didn’t realize I took notes in a completely different language. Then again if they wanted to keep the secrets of Avalon from most of the Wizarding World’s eyes, it would make sense to have my notes come into this reality in an ancient and obscure language. I’ve never even heard of Coptic before.” He seemed to look over her shoulder before adding, “It reads like English to me.”

“I would expect the same if you read something written in Parselscript. You don’t even know when you’re speaking the language of the snakes, after all.” Hermione chuckled before sharing her vast knowledge on the topic, “The Copts were the native Christians in Egypt and came into existance a bit before and around the time of Jesus. Many of the lost books of the bible were written in Coptic rather than the Latin they were later translated into before being combined into the first edition of the Bible. The Coptic language was spoken in parts of Egypt up until it died out completely in the 16^th century, but has only remained a liturgical language within the Coptic Orthodox Church. However, we can be thankful it has remained or many of the Dead Sea Scrolls found back in 1947 by a young Bedouin shepherd would’ve not been deciphered.”

She paused for a moment before furrowing her brow and tried to organize her thoughts realizing her last statement was wrong. She had read somewhere that they were written in Coptic, but then remembered she had later found that source unreliable before she found another reliable one. “Well, I guess that’s not exactly true as those were mostly written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. However, the information in the chronological Coptic Bible continues to be contested by many muggles Christian communities. It was really the Coptic Gnostic Library, which continues where the Dead Sea Scrolls left off that would’ve been lost and funny that I forgot those were uncovered in the Upper Egyptian town of Nag Hammadi in 1945. Ah well, I digress and completely change the subject. The truth is that I do not forget anything with my eidetic memory; however, as I have yet to master Occlumency much of what I have learned can become misplaced within my mind. I don’t know if that makes any sense. I really should have Severus teach me. I know that he’s been able to overcome some of the downsides of having an eidetic memory by mastering it. I’m sure he’s even found a way to forget some of his more traumatic memories.” She shrugged before looking back down at the book wondering where she’d find a codex on the language that she could read and memorize.

Harry laughed and Hermione couldn’t help look back up to notice how younger he looked as he did so, “You know I didn’t know that fact about him. I guess it makes sense. If he didn’t have such a memory, surely he would’ve succumb to one or both his maters in the previous wars. Well, I guess you’ll have time to translate that and uncover everything I was able to discover while in Avalon. I already know that I can inherently read it, but something tells me I need another’s opinion when it comes to my discoveries. I believe it should be you, but I do ask that you keep it away from anyone else. I only trust you with it. Now, we should all probably meet in the entry way so we may make the meeting you scheduled at Gringotts.”

Hermione groaned, “I really do need to learn how to organize my mind better. I swear it’s like I don’t have the ability to remember everything. Did someone hit me with a disorganization spell centered on my brain? Perhaps it’s because I’ve had so much on my mind recently.”

Severus stood in the entry way with Hermione and the twins. He wasn’t sure how he should feel about the appointment the know-it-all had made. He couldn’t help but scowl at her, “Please remind me why we have this appointment at Gringotts? I know you’re the one who made it because Harry is still too unorganized to get to something like this so soon after waking.”

Hermione looked at him and smiled. What was that bint thinking that she should smile at him? In response to her smile, he turned his features back to the feared Potion Master of Hogwarts and fixed his best scowl. However, all that did was cause her to laugh. He wanted to scream that she felt the need to laugh at his scowl, but then she stopped laughing and started speaking. “I’ve been doing quite a bit of research and too many things are not adding up. Some of them surround you, but I really didn’t want to look too closely at the Prince Family tree. I wonder if you knew that the Lestrange Brothers are your first cousins. You’re mother had an older sister, Belladonna Prince, who married Reginald Lestrange. He had died under questionable means during the summer of 1973. His death is listed as natural causes, but many believe that he killed himself for one reason or another. It was Belladonna who chose Bellatrix as Rodolphus’ bride. There were quite a few articles in the society pages regarding that match that I was able to locate in the Potter Family archives. I do wonder what they had meant regarding a Lestrange cures, as I haven’t been able to cross reference any information on one existing or to what it would pertain.”

Severus couldn’t help but pinch the bridge of his nose as he thought about the bane of his existence. The reason why he stopped showering alone at Hogwarts and the wizard that called him so many horrible names and tried to force him into sexual acts for which he was not ready. Why did she have to mention those two? His mind swam with memories that he had kept locked away for so long. There was no way he wanted his childhood memories to float back to him during inopportune moments like they were at that moment. However, this memory was one he didn’t even realize he had.

He was still young enough to need a crib and his mother was sitting in a rocking chair in his nursery, which later became his bedroom. She had tears running down her face and a bruise blooming on her cheek, “I’m sorry for condemning you to this place darling. I wish I could’ve sent you to live with your father, but Belly had to ruin that for me, as well. Why did I have to have her as a sister? She wanted to marry him so badly and she was always Mum and Da’s favorite. So, of course she got the marriage contract she wanted and I was stuck with Abraxas Malfoy. Could you imagine me married to that horrible man? He would be all for leaving our children unbound so that they could access their full changeling potential. I should say child because I doubt he would want to have more than one. You love are special, and you don’t even know it. I have bound you, but you still manage to show your strength. Tobias is starting to fight against my imperious, which is weird since he is just a muggle. They should be unable to fight against magic. I really didn’t have a choice darling. I hope that one day you’ll forgive me.”

Severus quickly brought his mind back to the conversation at hand. He hated it when he was drawn into a memory, but unfortunately his mental absence didn’t go unnoticed. Her knowledge filled eyes locked with his, “You just remembered something of importance, didn’t you?”

He shook his head no because he really didn’t want to contemplate the importance of that memory. Tobias Snape was never his father. How could he have buried that knowledge so deep and not remember it until over thirty years later? If he wasn’t the biological child of Tobias Snape, then why did his Hogwarts Letter arrive with the name Severus Snape? Wouldn’t it have arrived with a different name? Was his name even Severus Tobias Snape or something different? Wait, if his father wasn’t that muggle, then what really was his blood status? Was he really a half blood or something more? His mind shifted back to his memories of why he never knew that information. He growled when he found the traces of several memory charms preformed on him shortly after arriving at Hogwarts. He quickly analyzed the magical signature to see if he could discover who had obliviated him. He clenched his teeth when he discovered who it was, “That bloody meddlesome old fool. He will pay for ever casting a memory charm on me.”

He didn’t even acknowledge the others in the room as he pushed to figure out what other things the man tried to wipe from his mind. As a memory charm can only suppress memories in someone with an eidetic memory, and not completely wipe them away. He continued to search through his memories when he found another one that had been tampered with. He watched the sorting of first years in 1984 and noticed how his eyes were trained on the witch with the continuously changing hair. He continued to watch her with a knowing smile; his younger sister had finally arrived at Hogwarts. His grandmother had done something right for a change and found her a loving home with a pureblood and a muggleborn. However, he also frowned when he noticed how her unbalanced equilibrium was causing her to trip over her own two feet. He would need to research what would cause something like in a being with her abilities. Severus stared at the witch waving her hand in front of him bringing his attention back to the garish entry way belonging to Potter Manor.

He sighed as he voiced his concern, “How difficult would it be to invite Nymphadora Tonks to Gringotts? I fear that she is under creature bindings which are contributing to her clumsiness. Also, I think it’s about time for her to discover her true roots. I’m not sure if Andromeda has had the opportunity to inform her that she was adopted. I held her as a newborn baby, as I pleaded with my grandmother to find her a home where she’d be safe. My mother had just died giving birth to her and I knew that she wouldn’t last long if left with Tobias, when I went to school. However, now it seems unfair I was left with that muggle when he isn’t even my bloody father. I swear that old fool will pay for all he has done.”

Both twins’ mouths dropped open before they spoke in unison, “Tonks is your sister?”

Severus just shook his head as he wasn’t ready to answer anything, “Let’s just say that someone cast a memory charm on me. However, there must have been more spells than that on me, as I would’ve recognized the effects of the spell sooner if there wasn’t something preventing me from doing so. I guess this appointment is important, after all. I shall require a full cleansing along with the inheritance ritual. I fear I may not be a cousin of the Lestrange brothers, but rather a half-brother. Apparently, my mother had an affair with her sister’s husband. If the headmaster tried to wipe my knowledge of that away, I cannot help but wonder if he did something to Rabastan, as well.”

He didn’t want to finish that thought aloud, but surely in his mind he couldn’t stop the thought that perhaps some spell was involved in the way his brother acted toward him. Did Dumbledore want him so badly broken that he tried to keep all knowledge of his true roots away from him? What could that man have gained with having him remain in an abusive home? Unless he was molding the perfect spy from the moment he entered Hogwarts, had the man let the Maurders pick on him because he needed him to choose the Dark Lord when the time came? Was he chosen because of his relationship with a muggleborn Gryffindor? What didn’t that man plan?

The realizations of the moment did nothing for his head. He could feel the beginnings of a head ache just as Harry and Sirius entered the room. He prepared himself to face the realities of his realizations at Gringotts. He could only hope someone contacted Nymphadora and asked for her presence at the meeting. He hoped that his knowledge of her existence would only keep her safe from any further meddling by that old man.

Harry left all the others in the entry hall where the only fireplace hooked up to the floo was located. He quickly made his way down to the cellar where he needed to retrieve his godfather. He wanted to spend time with the human Remus before he took him again that night when they transformed. He could only hope he’d find the time when after they got back from Gringotts. He was a bit happy with Hermione for making the appointment for him knowing it would be the best way for Severus to discover his true heritage; however, he really wished he could do it on his time.

He walked down the stone stairs that accessed the cellar from inside the manor. It could be properly warded to prevent the werewolf from entering the home later. Upon reaching the bottom step, his godfather’s boisterous laughter flooded the room. He found a rather pale and tired looking Remus under the blankets while his godfather was busy telling some story or joke. He didn’t fully catch what was being said, as his attention was more on his sickly looking mate. He walked forward and placed his hand on Remus’ forehead, “How are you feeling?”

The werewolf’s more human hazel-green eyes looked back at him. Gone were the amber colored wolf eyes, Harry had seen the night before. Remus cleared his throat, “You’re my alpha. I can smell it in your pheromones, but why am I still accepting Padfoot as a pack member?”

Harry smiled and just ran his fingers through the grey flecked tawny hair, “I am your alpha in this pack, but we have many mates. Sirius here is one of our betas like you darling. We also have a few omega mates, as well. I’d like you to stay in bed for the rest of the day. It is likely Moony will entertain my desire to take him in the bed down here. I’m pretty sure he’ll do whatever is necessary to protect his cubs.”

Remus’ eyes locked were filled with so much sorrow when they met Harry’s, “I knew I was in heat from the way my body was reacting shortly before the transformation, but how could you mate with me? What about my poor innocent child who will be saddled with my curse?”

Harry shook his head no, “Do not worry about that right now my darling little wolf. We can discuss that later. You need to rest right now and Sirius needs to accompany me to Gringotts. I promise to explain to you what I have learned about your kind when we get back. Tomorrow, we will need to cement your beta rank within this pack and we shall discuss our future plans for this upcoming school year.”

Remus nodded closing his eyes. Harry grabbed Sirius by the arm and pulled him up the stairs, “You should’ve let him sleep. What were you thinking? I understand you were excited to see your friend again after so many months, but you need to keep his condition in mind. He needs all the rest he can get before he goes through his final transformation this month. Don’t think I won’t punish you for your behavior Sirius. If you continue to act so irresponsibly, I will have no choice but to paddle some sense into you. I love you Sirius, but you really did lose 12 years of emotional maturity in Azkaban. If you are going to be the dominant mate in an ideal pair, then you need to learn responsibility. You can’t expect your omega to protect you, when it’s your job as a beta to protect him.”

Sirius pouted when they reached the door to the manor, “What happened to you Harry? You used to be so much fun and now you’re acting like you’re older than Remus. Why don’t you act like any normal 16 year old wizard? Where’s the Maurder in you?”

Harry scowled at his godfather. He didn’t understand why Sirius’ carefree attitude was grating on his nerves so much, but he figured it was time to enlighten his misbegotten mate. “I’ve never really been carefree you dolt. I never had a childhood because I was always responsible for taking care of my muggle relatives. Those same relatives that rather use me like a bloody punching bag than show me any kind of comfort or care. I was deprived of love and mistreated in a manner similar to Severus before entering Hogwarts, and the summer holidays after. I was so excited when Hagrid came and told me I was a wizard after the letters were continuously destroyed by Vernon. Hagrid was the one that took me to Diagon Alley for the first time. It wasn’t the Deputy Headmistress that Hermione got, and I wasn’t able to read my books and practice spells before my first year like she was either. Then I got to Hogwarts and had the weight of the world thrust on my shoulders, as I was expected to defeat a dark lord that I was famous for defeating as a newborn. Very few saw past the Harry Potter from the stories they heard as children, and saw just Harry.

“Then, you idiot, I managed to face my destiny and rid the world of that being just to be thrust back into the not so caring arms of my relatives. I come into this inheritance where I am once again a bloody freak. I’m the only one of my kind and the first to appear in over millennia. Do you know who the last one of my kind was?” Harry poked his forefinger into the gob smacked Maurder’s chest, “It was bloody Merlin. He was the bloody father, each with a different mate, of the four Hogwarts founders. I spent close to two weeks in Avalon; you know the fabled burial place of King Arthur. The place where Merlin retreated to after the fall of Camelot, you know the place of legends?”

Sirius’ shoulders slumped, “I guess I never knew all that you’ve had to endure. Dumbledore had promised that you were safe there and that you were treated like a bloody prince.”

“Yeah, I was treated just like Severus Prince.” Harry felt his teeth clench before he continued, “You will not speak that man’s name in front of me. I’m sure that you’re still under the delusions that he is a bloody benevolent grandfatherly type; however, I’ve seen past those masks he wears. He’s nothing but a cold hearted puppet master playing chess and we’re all his bloody pawns. I’m sure he’s hidden information from you and was bloody responsible for you incarceration. You were only released from your sentence because irrefutable evidence was thrust in front of the Minister’s face when Pettigrew was presented alive after I killed the dark lord.” He pulled him toward the entry hall, “Let’s get this over with. I thought you’d have changed your opinion of the man after the compulsion charms were lifted, but apparently there’s more going on than I first thought.
