Harry was having a bad day, no make that a bad week. It has been a two days since he sent the letter to Draco. To his disappointment he has not gotten back to him. He was in a bad mood and to top it off the Headmaster wanted to see him. That’s where he was headed; he stopped in front of about to repeat the password when he heard them.
“You say he has not spent any time with you since school has started?” He heard the Headmaster ask.
“No sir, he is spending more time with Longbottom, they've been very secretive also. And, every time I try to touch him he backs away. We know they spent the rest of the summer together.” Harry knew that was Ginny. She has tried on numerous occasions to get close to him; he is constantly rebuffing her advances.
The next person to speak was Ron “I can tell you they study a lot though. I saw them in the library the other day. I was looking for Hermione; they were talking about plants. I doubt they noticed me.”
“Ms. Granger, I trust you made sure the Dursley’s did what was required of them this summer?” Dumbledore asked.
“Yes, I spoke to them personally. I made sure they slipped the potion into his daily water intake. I also, told them to be extra hard on him since it was his last summer with them. They were quite eager to comply.” Hermione replied.
“Then if he was slipped the potion, shouldn't he be completely in love with me?” Ginny snapped. “Something must have gone wrong.”
“Do you think he could have found out about the money we took from his vaults?” Ron asked.
“Please Potter is too stupid to know anything, besides we covered our tracks. Isn't that right Headmaster?” That came from Hermione.
“You are correct Ms. Granger. As his magical guardian I can authorize others to go into his vaults.” He replied.
“Is the Marriage Contract between he and Ginny still valid? I want to make sure that after we kill him there will be nothing stopping us from my family getting his money.”
“It is my boy. Once Potter defeats Lord Voldemort, Ginny will marry him. We will kill him before she has any heirs. You family will be set for life. And, Ms. Granger will be the next Minister of Magic. And, I will still be seen as the Greatest Wizard, not the man who helped Harry Potter.”
“How much longer do we have to pretend to like him? It’s very daunting. It’s times like this I'm very glad that he is with Longbottom more than us.” Said Hermione. “When do we move to the next step?”
Dumbledore spoke. From where Harry was standing in the shadows he saw the gleam in the Headmaster's eyes. “I have sent a message letting him know I want to speak to him.” He opened a draw and pulled out a few parchments. “This is a copy of his will; in order to get him to sign it. I will drug his tea then have him drink it. Harry trusts me completely, he would never doubt my intentions.”
“What if we get him to marry Ginny before he defeats Voldemort. Then we wouldn't have to wait until it is over. We could just kill him in during the battle.” Ron asked
“That is a splendid idea my boy. Voldemort’s broken soul that is inside Harry has to be killed by the man himself. If one of us is around Harry when they do finally meet. Then we can make sure he is dead. Voldemort will be completely human. Until neither can die.”
“Do you know where the other souls are? We need to find them first,” asked Ginny “Besides Harry, the diary and Nagini, I have not been able to locate the other four Horcruxes. We need Harry to find them. I have an idea of where they are.” He replied to them
“Do you know what they are?” Hermione asked
“Since you will be the ones to help Harry on the hunt for them, I see no reason in not telling you. Marvolo Gaunt's Ring, Salazar Slytherin's Locket, Helga Hufflepuff's Cup, and Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem.” He told them.
“The question is how are we going to get Harry to look for them without tipping our hands.” Ron said. They all sat in silence for a few minutes.
This gave Harry the chance to sneak off without being seen. He made his way to the dungeons. He needed to find a way not to sign that Will. How dare they. He could not wait enact his revenge. Harry is going to need help to follow it through. He opened the door Severus’s classroom without knocking or announcing himself. He could not wait until this weekend; he needed to tell Severus and Remmy everything. What he needed to do he will need their help for.
“Professor is there a way you can get in touch with Remmy? I need to speak to you both.” He said to Severus in a way of saying hello.
“Yes, I often let him into my private quarters” Severus said as he furrowed his eyebrows and looked up at Harry.
“Can you do it without Dumblefuck finding out?” He was seething.
He raised a perfectly arched eyebrow “Of course. I am a spy Potter. How do you think I leave the school without students realizing?”
Harry closed his eyes, took a deep breath to calm his anger “can you do it tonight? The things I was not ready to tell you both, I am ready to trust you with. There are others that I need to inform, can we meet in your quarters after dinner. That way it will not look suspicion.”
“Of course.” Severus walked over to Harry to his face in his hand. Looked into his eyes. “What ever it is we will fix it.” Bending down he gave Harry a chaste kiss on his forehead right by his scar.
Again, Harry soaked up the affection. He nodded his head turned and left Severus’s classroom. He needed to find Neville and Luna. It’s time to put things into action.
*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM**HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*
Harry got to Severus room before Luna and Neville. He knocked on the door. Severus opened the door and let him in. His rooms surprised Harry. It had the look and feel of a high-rise muggle apartment. There were three bedrooms. The walls were painted brown with white trim. The sofa was chocolate brown leather big enough for two to relax comfortably. They were soft blue and silver throw pillows arranged neatly in each corner. The kitchenette was off the right, it was big enough to accommodate dining table with eight chairs. To the right was the fireplace with two leather wingback chairs in front of it. Soft candles were lit all around the room.
The room was inviting something Harry did not expect from Severus Snape, snarky potion’s master. While Harry was taking in the room, Severus disappeared. When he reappeared Remus was with him. Remus walked over to him and hugged him. Harry hugged him back.
“Oh, Remmy I’m so sorry. I didn't know what to say.”
“It’s ok cub. I’m here. You don't have to say anything just let me hold you. I've missed you.”
“I've missed you too Remmy.”
They stood there for what seemed like a long time. Remus did not want to let his cub go. He felt as if he had let him down enough by not protecting him. He was the smart one out of the Marauders and yet he did not see the manipulations Dumbledore was playing. His thoughts were interrupted when there was a knock on the door. Severus jerked his head to Remus. He and Harry moved to one of the locked doors while Severus went to answer the door.
Harry did not have time to take in the décor of the room. Soon after, Severus came and got them. When they walked out Neville, Luna and the Weasley twins were there. Harry was not sure what the twins were doing here.
“George…Fred…what are you doing here?”
“Come on Harrykins....” said Fred
“…you were going to have a party….” continued George
“…and not invite us….” They said together
“How did you know I was going to be here?”
“That can easily”…. George replied
“.…be explain later Harrykins…” Fred went on
“…..don’t you think you and Neville…” George continued
“…you should drop your….” Fred picked up from where George left off
“Glamour…” They finished together as they hugged him.
“You can trust them” This came from Luna “They are my shield and your guards. They have been here since the start of school. Lady Hogwarts keeps them from hidden from all eyes and ears. They are on your side.”
Harry looked at the twins it was a relief to know that he could still trust some Weasley. It hurt to think he would lose their friendship. “Before we do that is this room safe.” Neville asked.
“Lady Hogwarts along with Professor Snape has warded this room. We also have a warning if someone is approaching the door.” Luna replied
Neville and Harry dropped their glamour everyone in the room gasped. No one knew quite what to say. Harry kept his wings back he did not release them this time. He reserved the right for his mate. He did not want anyone to touch them. There was a whistle from one of the twins, Harry could not tell which one. “Harrykins you are hot.” This came from Fred.
Remus spoke up for the first time since the twins entered the room. “Cub, you came into your creature inheritance? A Veela at that, I didn't know James had creature blood.”
“That is one of the reasons why I wanted Neville here. What we have to say involves our magical inheritance. I’m sorry Remmy. I did not know the right way to tell you everything that was going on with me.”
Remus looked at his cub “I’m guessing that Dumbledore does not know?”
“No he does not. And, after what I just heard today he damn sure will not.”
“Why don't you tell us what’s going on cub.”
Sitting down for the first time. He took a deep breath. “It all started on the night of my birthday. Like every year…” He and Neville took turns telling their side of the story. They did not leave anything out. He looked at Severus when he told them about being the heirs to the founders and the owners of Hogwarts. No one said a word or interrupted them. Until Harry got to the parts he heard when he was on the train, and what he heard in Dumbledore’s office.
Moony was growling ready to tear the room apart, and then go after Albus. Severus knew the Headmaster was up to no good. He thought Lucius should hear this because they were both spying for the old coot. He spoke up before anyone else could.
“Harry I think there is someone else we need to include into this conversation. You can trust him.”
“Who is it?” He asked.
“Lucius Malfoy…He is also a spy for the light side. He's never trusted Albus completely, but he saw no other way out for him. He only turned spy to protect his family.”
Harry thought about that for a second. He turned to his brother. “What do you think Nev.?”
Turning to Severus Neville asked him “Will he swear an oath on his magic that anything we say will stay between us? And, he will aid us in bringing down Dumbledore and He-who-must-not-be-named?”
Nodding his head “He will do anything to protect his family.”
After some thought “Will he able to come tonight. The sooner we get this done the better we can plan.” Asked Harry.
“I will fire call him now” replied Severus. He got up walked over to the fireplace. Throwing some floo powder in it. Green flames flashed quickly. “Malfoy Manor, Lucius Malfoy Study” he called out. A room appeared. Seated at his desk was Lucius Malfoy.
Sitting at his desk in his study going over a few business deals, Lucius heard his floo flare. Looking up he saw Severus face.
*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM**HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*
“Ah, Severus to what do I owe this pleasure?”
“A few things have come to light, I wonder if you will be able to come through. It is a matter emergency.”
“Is Draco alright? Cissa and I have not gotten any owls or calls from the Headmaster.”
“Yes, Draco is fine. This is of another matter.”
Lucius sighed in relief. “Let me inform Cissa and I will be right there.”
“I will leave the floo open.”
Lucius called for a house elf. Told them to inform his wife he was going to Hogwarts to see Severus. With that taken care of he stepped through the floo into Severus private quarters. He was not expecting to see the others there. The Weasley twins, Lupin, the blond girl he remembered from the Ministry, a Veela he did not recognize and an Elf.
Confusion showed his face “Severus what’s going on?”
“Before we reveal anything you swear an oath on your magic that what you are about to hear or see will not be repeated unless given permission by those in this room.”
Glancing around the room and it’s occupants, Lucius could tell that whatever was going on involved the Veela and the Elf. He trusts his brother that whatever he needs to hear was very important. Nodding his head, then repeated the oath.
“I Lucius Abarax Malfoy, swear that whatever I hear, or see, and say tonight in this room will not be repeated unless authorized by the occupants in this room. So mote it be” A glow went through the occupants in the room. It showed that his oath was accepted.
“Now with that out of the way, will someone tell me what is going on? He said.
“Lucius, I would like to introduce you to Duke Slytherin and Duke Gryffindor. Better known as Harry Potter and Neville Longbottom.”
After hearing the names of who they were, Lucius did the most un-Malfoy and Slytherin thing.
He fainted!!
*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM**HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*DM*HP*
“I really did not see that coming” was what Lucius heard when he came to. “Do you think we should have given him a calming draught before we said anything? Said another voice. He was disoriented for a minute. It took him a minute to figure out where he was. Severus asked him to come to his quarters. Others he did not know. A Veela and an Elf was there then introduced to him. What were their names again?
He opened his eyes to see Severus kneeling over him. Looking concern.
“Lucius are you alright? You took quite a fall.”
He opened his mouth to say yes he was, but what came out was, “Potter and Longbottom? Severus did I hear you correct?”
“I see you're awake. Do you require a calming draught before we continue? I don't want you to faint again.” Lupin said as he walked back into the room with smelling salt.
“Malfoy’s do not faint, I simply lost my balance” Lucius told him. He was still feeling a bit confused.
“Yes, and I'm a jester in disguise. Came a snarky reply."Are you quite sure Lucius? ”
He was starting to become irritated “Severus, I do not suffer from heart failure. I can handle whatever else you have to say.”
He glanced around the room to the other occupants. Potter and Longbottom sat together at the table by the kitchen. On the sofa sat the Weasley twins in between them was the blond, what was her name? Ah, Lovegood. She was a powerful witch in her own right. Lupin and Severus moved to sit at the table beside Potter and Longbottom.
He followed them and gracefully sat in an empty chair. Turning his gaze towards potter he took in his features. Potter was beautiful. As a Veela himself he was not affected by the allure of a Veela, but he can appreciate beauty when he see’s it. He had a strange feeling that besides his inheritance there was something different about Potter. A throat cleared; turning to the sound he faced Lupin who arched a brow at him.
“Lupin correct me if I am wrong. James Potter was not a Veela during our time at school or Frank and Alice for that matter?”
Remus shook his head “I am not sure about Frank and Alice. James on the other hand was not a Veela or had any other creature inheritances, unless he hid it from Sirius and I. We all had our own secrets" he said looking at Severus. Well are they finally ready to say they are together Lucius thought. Raising a perfectly arch brow at Severus to see his brother in all but blood blushing.
"is anyone going to enlighten me on why my presence was required?" Severus was the one to retell the story this time. “It all started on Potter’s birthday….” Once Lucius was caught up with everyone else he did not know what to say. Everyone that reheard the story was still amazed that Neville and Harry were descendants from the founders.
“Well, that is quite a tale.” Everyone who was able to respond just nodded. “I presume that there is more?”
It was Lovegood who spoke next “The prophecy is fake, the one he told Harry was a lie.” He did not faint this time but his mask did fall. But he had to ask.
“What do you mean the prophecy is fake? How do you know?”
“Our Luna is a seer” one of the Weasley twins responded. Lucius could not tell which one said. He could not tell them apart.
“I knew Ms. Lovegood had a hidden talent. How were you able to hide it from the Headmaster?” Asked Lupin
“He never looks at what is in front of his face. His focus are only on Harry, the war and defeating Voldemort,” she replied. Her tone was pleasant as he remembered at the Ministry, even in anger she sounded calm. He wondered if she had more than just seer blood. She had a way of calming those around her.
Getting back to the conversation “I never knew that knew what the prophecy said. I was only told by the Dark Lord to retrieve it” He replied.
It was then Potter spoke. "The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches ... born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies ... and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not ... and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives ... the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies ..."
“How do you know that?” Severus asked. "I never heard the whole thing only the first half. It's another thing I need to apologize for. It was I who told the Dark Lord about the prophecy. And, I have lived with that guilt everyday. To know I caused their death."
“I don't blame you Severus, I put the blame on Voldemort and Dumbledore. They pulled us all into their shit. Bloody cowards. He was the one that told me the night Sirius went through the veil.”
“Was that the night you also destroyed his office Harry?” Fred asked. Potter nodded his head “That was mental,” he continued.
“If the prophecy is fake what is the real one?” bringing the subject back.
It was Lovegood who spoke again "Two with the power to vanquish the Dark Lords approaches…. Born as the seventh month dies ...They will be equals, Brothers in arms…they shall vanquish the snake and the fake light Lord, they will have power the Dark Lords knows not ...they will fight and conquer… They will rebuild their home…. Neutral and Light shall prevail…. Two with the power to vanquish the Dark Lords will be born as the seventh month dies...”
“Well Merlin bloody fuck!” was all Potter had to say. Silently I agree with him.
