"I'm speaking"
Pairing: Yaoi M/M, Harem – top Harry x bottoms Draco / Tom (TMR) / Cedric
Last Time:
T.M.R … this might be the clue he needed …
XXXXXXXXXX
Severus opened the heavy wooden door to the records room in Hogwarts “now I don’t know for sure, but considering the Dark Lord hates Dumbledore so much, speaks parseltongue, is supposedly the heir to Slytherin and people claim Death Eaters are Slytherin it stands to reason that he attended Hogwarts as a student. Why else would Dumbledore and Hogwarts be the center of much of the war?”
File after file Severus sifted through the years of students. There were two traits he was looking for … the initials TMR and a Slytherin student that was around something like fifty years ago. At firszt it seemed like a pointless quest, but then he spotted a name …
Tom Marvolo Riddle!
It fit perfectly! According to the records and written comments from passed teachers he was a brilliant Slytherin student who seemed normal until one of the Ravenclaw students, Myrtle Warren, passed away.
“the death of Myrtle must be when his soul shattered for the first time because the teachers noticed him turning to the dark arts after that. Perhaps he blamed himself” Severus commented and began skimming the rest of the information, but his eyes narrowed as he found some information was missing and almost too much in one area that had nothing to do with the child “how very odd … I can’t find anything on his guardians or where he was staying, but there’s a lot on the Gaunt family … no one was staying with them so why is there so much here? Even if he was related to them there’d only be enough to show he was living with them, which he wasn’t”
The entire situation puzzled Severus so he went to get Julian’s soul orb and check the Gaunt Shack …
XXXXXXXXXX
“you found more! Thank you Uncle Sev!” Julian beamed as he carefully took the orb filled with four shimmering soul fragments swimming inside and put the necklace on. Severus chuckled as the little boy smiled happily with the occamy perched on his head.
Brian sat down on the couch and grinned as Julian played with Tanzanite “it didn’t take you long to collect them” he commented as Severus sat down too.
“once I managed to find the name Tom Marvolo Riddle in the Hogwarts records it was simple to track them down though … it’s really odd behavior. I think Tom understood that something was wrong and began taking measures to protect the diary, but the two horcruxes I found today weren’t protected at all. Both the Slytherin locket and the Gaunt ring were just laying on the floor of the Gaunt Shack” Severus said as he shook some dust off his sleeve that got on him when he searched the dilapidated shack “Tom’s mind must’ve been suffering from severe memory problems”
“sounds like it and this proves that he probably didn’t intend to break his soul” Brian mused out loud.
Severus nodded “indeed … I gave Griphook the Gaunt ring and the locket since they were goblin made and heirlooms. They’ll take care of it and I was informed that there was a horcrux protocol in all Gringotts banks so if I suspect that a specific item was used the goblins could enter the vault with the orb and legally take the horcrux for me. A piece of someone’s soul doesn’t belong to anyone even if you own the item the horcrux is stuck to. If the locket was used I suspect the other founder items were used save for the sword of Gryffindor. Griphook is setting up an investigation to see if anything can be found … and now that Hogwarts is out for the summer I have time to handle arrangements so Gringotts is transferring my bank accounts over to Australia”
Those pretty green eyes lit up “are you staying closer Uncle Sev?”
“yes I am and I was curious if you’d like to meet the little boy I told you about” Severus suggested as he pulled Julian into his lap making a tiny Tanzanite flutter up into the air clearly irritated with being unsettled, but quickly .
“the little boy who was sick a lot? … Draco? I’d like to meet him” Julian said softly. The two older wizards have tried to get Julian comfortable around kids and they have had some success, but not a lot and considering it’s only a couple more months until he turns five he will need to get comfortable soon if he is going to handle school. Severus has taken time to talk about Draco including each time the young Malfoy was sick and when he gave him the cure for the Cyclic disease. Meeting Draco might help Julian open up especially since Julian seemed worried for him each time he fell ill.
Severus chuckled “I’m glad. Draco is very nice, but he is a bit weak from all those months of being sick so be gentle” he said knowing Julian was already a gentle child who knew what it was like to feel weak, but now the green eyed child was bigger than Draco so it was different.
The headmaster of Legerdemain handed Severus a pamphlet as he took Julian into his arms “this explains the classes and main points of our school as well as the times to visit if they wish to come on their own”
“that’s all well and good, but I intend to kidnap them if necessary … I’ll show Lucius exactly where my loyalties lie and it is most definitely not with Dumbledore. Now I won’t tell them about Tom until we have all the pieces of his soul, but when I’m sure they’re trustworthy maybe they can be told about Harry Potter. Of course that will only happen if you want it to Julian, ok?” Severus promised and when his godson nodded with that soft smile he went to the floo. This time he wasn’t going to change out of his loose fitting button down shirt and black slacks so the Malfoys will be in for a shock right away.
‘another little human will be coming … he better be nice to my human’ Tanzanite hissed as he wrapped himself around Julian’s neck making the little boy giggle as the forked tongue tickled his neck …
XXXXXXXXXX
Narcissa smiled when she heard someone floo into the Manor “Severus is that you? I’m in the living room with Draco” she called out.
“and how is little Draco?” Severus asked as he walked into the room.
“oh he is doing very well- …” Narcissa’s jaw dropped when she finally turned to look at the potion master in far more flattering clothes “dear Merlin … you look great Severus!” she exclaimed trying to hide a blush that was threatening to appear on her cheeks.
Severus surprised his friend further by smiling kindly “thank you Narcissa. These clothes are better suited for Australia and they seem to suit me better than solid black” he said as he casually sat on the floor with Draco who looked frail despite being cured five months ago, but smiled none the less.
After six months of being on and off sick he was still recovering. The Cyclic disease is called that because it flares up like a cold or flu once a month. Those episodes last for a week or two before the victim ‘gets better’, but there is no time to recover between the flare ups since the disease is still sapping the child’s strength between the flare ups. Draco was sick for a while so it will take a little bit of time to recover plus the cure itself can make recovering a much slower than normal process.
“A-Australia?” Narcissa gasped in confusion.
“indeed … that’s where I’ve been brewing” Severus commented dismissively secretly feeling great amusement from his friend’s surprise.
Lucius came into the room and scoffed “only you would go to another continent to brew. I am surprised you would choose some inferior place outside of the UK” he said though he raised an eyebrow at the new outfit the potion master was wearing.
“I’d hardly call it inferior considering Australia is where I found the cure for exactly what Draco was stricken with. If I stuck to the resources and knowledge in the UK your son would’ve passed by now no matter what help you could afford” Severus said bluntly. It seemed cold, but it had to be said if they were going to understand “and I don’t just go there to brew. My godson, Julian, lives there with his father” Severus said casually and helped Draco build a castle out of blocks while Narcissa and Lucius stood there in a stupefied silence.
A long stretch of time passed and a large block castle with four block towers was built around Draco before the Malfoy parents came back to their senses …
“Draco could’ve …” Narcissa felt dizzy at the mere thought of losing her baby boy and she couldn’t find the strength to complete the sentence.
Severus stood up and moved over to them to speak more quietly “not could’ve, would’ve … the disease he had was the Cyclic disease and it is fatal, but that’s over now so I have a question for you … how badly do you want to cut all ties from the Death Eater stigma and get your son away from Dumbledore’s reach?”
Lucius felt his body sag slightly out of pure relief “you were a spy”
“indeed and I’m no friend of Dumbledore’s either … there is a potion outside of the UK that can remove the mark just as it did for me” Severus said as he rolled up his sleeve to reveal that his left arm held no mark and was pleased to see hope in those silver eyes “sadly the standards are different elsewhere so I’m not a potion master outside the UK. While I am studying to get my masters it will take a couple more months at least, but I know a pair of potion masters who can brew it for you just as they did for me” he said. In the back of his mind he knew Silvia and Sophia will ask him for a ‘payment’, but he was happy to except whatever they ask him if it will be anything like the other requests “as for Dumbledore …” he pulled the pamphlet out of his pocket and gave it to Lucius.
With an almost eager motion Lucius took the pamphlet “Legerdemain Academy of Sorcery? … is this a joke? Kids can’t start learning at five”
“Lucius there are over 200 schools in the world. All except the three in the UK follow the principle that children can start learning magic at 5 and enroll kids at 5 or 6 years of age. Hundreds of extensive studies have proven that it’s much healthier to start early and the statistics from the other schools over the last 50 years have backed that up. There’s a 70% drop in magic related injuries including magic coil shut downs and I’m only talking about starting earlier. Once you factor in the more recent studies with wandless magic training coming before even getting wands and mental training it’s remarkable. Narcissa, Lucius, the UK has been cut off by their own arrogance for so long that we are the inferior ones. I understand if this is hard to swallow so come with me when Brian White shows his son, my godson, around school. You know me, do you think I’d give you half baked research?” Severus stated firmly, but quietly so he didn’t startle Draco.
“of course not, but the Malfoys and Blacks have been going to Hogwarts for generations plus Australia is so far away” Narcissa argued as she looked at the pamphlet in her husband’s hands.
Severus scoffed “I find it hilarious that you, a family who can buy a summer home wherever you desire and can afford a two way portkey, is concerned about distance” he said bluntly making Narcissa blush at the obvious solutions “plus Legerdemain isn’t a boarding school. They help make arrangements so kids can return home every night unless there’s a reason the child is thought to be in danger. Only then are they allowed to stay” Severus said with a smirk knowing he won this argument. He pulled a book out of his pocket and un-shrank it “take this too. It’s a book on different diseases including the Cyclic Disease on page 236. You might find the children who contracted it at some point have a similar issue. An issue that might have you reconsidering traditions. If you want to talk to me send a letter to Gringotts. I’m in the process of moving so contacting me the normal ways won’t work … goodbye Draco. I hope you get to meet my godson soon”
“bye bye!” Draco smiled as Severus exited the room to floo home, but then looked at his Daddy’s foot and pouted “Daddy your foot is in the moat”
Lucius blinked and notice he was too close to the block castle that surrounded his son, which must’ve been the pretend moat “I’m sorry Draco” he said with a smile and took a step back as his wife giggled.
Both Narcissa and Lucius sat down and began reading the book to clear up this issue right away. they did trust Severus, but they needed a good reason to reject years of traditions. What could this school teach Draco that would be more important for him to learn sooner?
“oh … I see now” Narcissa frowned as she skimmed the words “the Cyclic disease occurs when a child’s magic becomes linked with a cycle in nature like rain storms or seasons or, the most dangerous, the moon cycle. All children are affected because their magic has strong ties to the elements. If not taught how to control and focus then the child’s magic can reconnect to the cycle and will be dragged into nature as they grow stronger even after the cure is taken” she summarized when the book was completed.
An exasperated sigh slipped passed Lucius’s lips “Hogwarts doesn’t teach elemental magic or mind training” he commented as he watched his son “Draco … would you like to go to school with Severus’s godson?”
Draco tilted his head cutely as he thought about it “yes!” he answered. Even though he hasn’t met Julian he knew he’d at least see Severus more often.
“then it’s settled. We’ll meet with Severus and go to see this school” Lucius said before sighing and muttering “six generation of Malfoys just rolled in their graves”
XXXXXXXXXX
The soon-to-be new potion master was currently at Spinner’s End packing all his things to move them to his new apartment and sending out the grade results for the final exams. It pleased him greatly that his subtle changes in teaching style coupled with the extra sets of eyes overseeing the students has had a huge impact on the students grades. As a bonus he relaxed and became much less stern. It helped knowing he wasn’t the only one keeping an eye on an entire class of fools. Of course now Minerva has been sulking because he stole her spot as favorite teacher according to the gossip channels …
‘ok … that’s everything … now I just need to send these to Dumbledore” Severus commented as he shrank all of his personal things and put them in his pocket. He picked up all the papers he graded and put them in their own envelope. A brown bag with a light weight charm cast on it was filled with the envelopes and given to the dark colored falcon “take these to Dumbledore. When you’re done, Artemis, meet me at Gringotts” the bird nodded before taking off into the sky through the open window.
Breaking ties with this life was strangely healing, but he couldn’t completely remove himself yet. There were three reasons he had to stay and make sure all goes well …
First he had to come back once a month to check that the Dursleys are continuing on as if Harry was still there and that Ms. Figg was still sending reports claiming all is well to Dumbledore. It’s not like the muggles or squib are aware of his routine visits. He just apparates there, reads their minds and it’s done …
Second he had to keep teaching. This was necessary in order to keep Dumbledore in the dark about Julian. Of course this will only last until Harry Potter is expected at Hogwarts. Julian will never get a letter or arrive, but that’s when people will have to take notice and then Severus will have to leave since he can’t stall after that chaos starts. It helps that teaching is more tolerable now …
Third is, of course, the horcruxes. He will do what he can to find the rest of Tom Riddle’s broken soul. Besides the main fragment floating around somewhere there are two horcruxes left so he has his work cut out for him …
“this situation can wait for now. I have a masters to complete” Severus said as he let the door to the house on Spinner’s End creak shut on its own as he apparated away. He didn’t care about the house or what remained inside so it was left as it was. A moment later he reappeared in front of Gringotts, but just as he entered the building he was approached by Griphook.
The goblin smirked “could I take a moment of your time Severus?”
“of course” Severus said and followed the goblin to his office.
“I have a few matters to discuss with you” Griphook commented as he shut the door behind Severus and took a seat at his desk “you are in luck. We found a soul fragment in on of our vaults. Of course I can’t reveal which vault or who owns it or what the soul is attached to, but if you return with the soul orb we can retrieve it for you”
Severus sighed in relief “thank you, I will do that right away. What else did you want to discuss?”
Griphook handed Severus a letter “a letter from the Malfoys came for you Lord Prince” the goblin said and the reaction was priceless …
