Harry woke with a moan. He was dizzy and in a lot of pain but since when was that new. He grouped for his glasses then noticed he didn't need them. He sat up rubbing his head. The previous night or whenever it had been came flooding back to him and he wanted to just hide away. He'd heard someone begging him to stay. To fight . Then he'd heard something else but he couldn't remember what that last person had promised him if he woke up. He just new it was worth forcing himself to stay and fight for a bit longer. Someone knocked on the door. Of course Remus would know he was awake.

"Yeah?" He called, the door opened and sure enough Remus came in. "Uh,..."

"We're having breakfast." Remus said shifting awkwardly. He was holding a black tank top in his hand. "I was going to help you put a shirt on."

"Yeah, okay." Harry shrugged. Remus thankfully used magic.

"Do you think you can walk?" Remus asked.

"I'm a bit dizzy." Harry admitted. He blushed as Remus scooped him up as if he weighed nothing well considering he'd been starved so bad he probably didn't . He was set in his bean bag as soon as they entered the main room. "Do you have a Blood Replenisher? I think I need one."

Severus started when he realized Harry was talking to him he set two vials in front of the boy the requested potion and something he and Black agreed on.

"Nutrient Potion?" Harry asked, then quickly downed both. "Whatever." He began eating. He didn't care about anything anymore. Nothing. He felt hollow empty. They all knew about his training now the questions would start and he'd be forced to answer no matter what. "Stop staring at me as if I'm going to vanish any second, Sirius."

Sirius quickly looked down at his food. He was worried his little pup was going vanish on him. He kept glancing up finally the founders arrived.

"Today, we'll be playing another game!" Helga said, "Something that will help numb the pain. Is everyone done eating?"

Harry didn't respond just kept eating. He was hungry.

"You're going to make yourself sick, Ickle bitty baby Potter." Bella said,

"Go to hell." Harry groused, "I'm hungry."

"If you sick u again you could reopen your wounds and bleed again." she countered.

"What do you care?" He snapped sipping his juice. "You're my enemy aren't you? How many times have you tried to kill Me and Sirius now?" with that she fell silent and he ate. "You said numb the pain. That normally involves drinking. I don't drink. No alcohol."

"I agree with Potter." Severus spoke. "No Alcohol I do not drink either."

"It's not a good idea for me to drink." Remus said, "I could loose control. A drunk werewolf is something Sirius really doesn't need to deal with right now."

"Why would Padfoot be the one dealing with it?" Harry wondered.

"When Moony gets drunk he gets horny." Sirius replied. "Especially during spring."

"Enough, Black!" Severus growled, "I don't want to hear it."

"That makes two of us." Tom spoke for the first time.

"Three." Bella quipped.

Harry was blushing but nodded in agreement.

"You asked, pup." Sirius shrugged. "Are you sure you're feeling okay? Do you need a pain reliever ? Snape can brew you one."

"I'm fine."

"He's lying." Remus spoke up. "I can smell that he is in pain. "

Harry glared at him.

"I'm fine!"

"Just drink it." Severus sighed, setting the potion down. "Three of us refuse to drink so how are you going to have us play this game?"

"Good question." Salazar seemed to be pouting. "I find everyone spills everything when they are drunk. "

"The game you are trying to get us to play is "Never have i ever" correct?" Harry asked. "Well, that's a drinking game from what I hear. You need a different game.

"We'll just use butter beer than!" Helga cheered. " The game is never have I ever!"

"How do we play that?" Sirius asked, eyeing the shot glasses full of butter beer.

"Well, I've never actually played but from what I understand someone says "Never Have I Ever...then something they've never done and if someone else has done that they take shot. "

"Sounds easy enough." Sirius said nodding. "Okay, me first! Never have I ever had romantic feelings for someone in my own family!"

Bella growled and drank down her shot.

"With a twist." Salazar said, "The person must disclose the information to the others."

"Regulus." Bella said, "Sirius, Artemis, Articulus V ..."

"So you had crushes on every young member of the family."

"I needed a husband before I got stuck with Rudolphus!" Bella shrieked. "Never have I ever switched my loyalties."

Severus, Harry, Sirius and Remus all through back a shot.

"Dumbledore." Harry said.

"Dumbledore." Sirius and Remus echoed.

"First you my Lord and now Dumbledore."

"YOu were a spy?!" Tom growled.

"Yes, My Lord from the time you threatened the Potters." Severus did not meet Harry's eye.

"Okay, idea. " Harry said, "Instead of just randomly taking turns we'll spin the bottle and who ever it lands on has to come up with a Never have I ever."

"Good idea, pup." Remus praised he got no reaction in return.

"I'll go." Severus said, "Never have I ever kissed a childhood friend."

He hoped Harry would understand.

"Define childhood." Bella demanded.

"From age 9 on." Severus said, sure enough Harry blinked at him.

Bella, Sirius and Remus drank.

"Theodore Nott." Bella said.

"Moony." Sirius shrugged.

"Sirius." Remus agreed.

Severus spun the bottle. It landed on Harry.

"Never have I ever..." Harry seemed to think , " made out in the hidden passage way just behind the Potions classroom while class was in session."

The Founders cheered and cat called for him. Sirius and Remus were both crimson as they shot back the butter beer. Bella followed, and so did Tom.

"My list is way too long." Bella said, waving her hand.

Sirius and Remus motioned to each other.

"I only did it to manipulate someone to do what I wanted." Tom scoffed, eyes locked on Harry. "You'll find this rather funny." Harry cocked his eyebrow. "Abraxas ."

"OMG!" Harry laughed, every one looked at him. "You are so joking me! Of course your not you're worse than a Vulcan. "

"I need clarification on two things." Sirius whined.

" Abraxas Malfoy was a pure-blood wizard, father of Lucius Malfoy, grandfather of Draco Malfoy

Abraxas had at least one child, Lucius Malfoy, who was born in 1954; the fate of Lucius's mother, Abraxas's wife, is currently unknown.

Abraxas Malfoy was widely believed to have been part of the shady plot that, in 1968, forced Minister for Magic Nobby Leach (the first Muggle-born ever to have held the office) to leave his post prematurely. Nothing was, however, conclusively proven against Malfoy.

Abraxas died of a case of dragon pox, a relatively common malady of the elderly, some time before September 1995. Abraxas may also have been a well-respected wizard he was also known to be a supporter of the dark arts and a follower of Voldemort himself.

It is speculated that Abraxas may have had something to do with his wives death but it was never proven. Abraxas held the Title of Lord Malfoy for 52 years inheriting the title from his father when he was only 17 years old. It is also speculated that Abraxas had a daughter before Lucius that "Died under mysterious circumstances" when she was only five years old. It is widely believed she was a Squib. Lucius was born two years later. Abraxas Malfoy was Sorted into Slytherin in his first year at Hogwarts but was considered for Ravenclaw ..."

"Well, well , well..." Tom said, rather amused., "How do you know all this?"

"You have your Death Eaters, " Harry quipped back. " I have my twins."

"The Weasley Twins?" Severus asked.

"No one ever suspects them. " Harry smirked. "I have a whole network of people helping me out . Don't get that look in your eyes, Tom, I'm nothing like you. " he tried to stretch but it hurt. " "If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle." Sun Tzu , The Art of War. "

"Very good. " Tom praised. "Come up with that on your own or did you have your Muggle born look it up for you?"

"Read the book myself. " Harry shrugged. He spun the bottle and it landed on Tom. "Your turn. "

"Wait!" Sirius cried, "What's a Vulcan?!"

"Vulcan's are a fictional extraterrestrial humanoid species in the Star Trek franchise who originate from the planet Vulcan. In the various Star Trek television series and movies, they are noted for their attempt to live by logic and reason with no interference from emotion." Harry said rolling his eyes. "Tom."

Tom sat back thinking.

"Never have I ever..." Tom said, "set a snake loose in a zoo full of Muggles."

Harry huffed and drank.

"He deserved it!" Harry spat.

"Pup?" Sirius asked.

"Dudley, that's my cousin , had just turned 11 it was his birthday. Every year they took Dudley and one of his friends out and left me the old batty cat lady squib dumbledore has living near by watching me Mrs. Figg but that year she tripped over one of her cats and broke her leg so I got to go along to the zoo with them. It was the first time I ever went." Harry didn't look happy. "it was okay but I was too busy trying not to get beat up by Dudley and Piers who were getting bored . We went into the Reptile House last. I didn't even know I could talk to snakes at that point. Dudley finds the hugest snake in the place and has uncle Vernon pound on the glass but the snake ignored him. I moved up to stare at the snake. The snake and I started talking then Piers shouted because he saw the snake was awake. " Harry took a deep breath.

"Dudley came waddling over and knocked me to the ground on purpose and I made the glass vanish and Dudley fell right in and the snake escaped. " Harry shrugged, " I often wonder what happened to that snake. "

Sirius was laughing.

"Revenge ." He chuckled.

"Yeah." Harry said distantly not meeting their eyes. They all noted this. "Yeah."

The ghosts stared at each other.

Tom spun the bottle it landed on Remus.

"Oh, uh..." Remus frowned, "Never have I ever gotten my best friend drunk just to get them in bed."

Sirius booed and downed his shot. Bella followed but no one else .

"We aren't getting far with this." Rowena cried, "I told you we should have gone to my game!"

"Yours is next." Salazar said, "Spin!"

"This is no fun without alcohol." Helga huffed, "Next game!"

They all stared at the ghosts.

"We will pick a number and watch random memories of each of yours from that age!" Rowena cheered.

Everyone noted Harry pale.

Numbers appeared in white letters over them flashing quickly double and single digits randomly. It stopped at 5.

"Okay!" Godric cheered, "On Screen!"

It was Remus.

"Cute." Harry said, " A tiny Moony puppy."

Sirius was agreeing and hanging off of Remus teasing him about how cute he had been .

"If this the day I think it is this is about to get bad ." Remus said. "and you are the puppy, pup."

Harry shrugged and watched as Remus' mom took him out to the park that day then did , English, reading and Math lessons with him. Harry would have loved to know a mother like that. It was that night when the moon was high in the sky that the memory turned. A happy Remus burst out of the house running toward his father who had just gotten home when suddenly a were wolf was attacking him.

They watched the attack and how Remus' parents responded to it.

It was Remus' turn to be sick. He spent awhile in the bathroom that was off his and Sirius' room. When he came back he was paler than normal.

5 year old Sirius was pouring over books with Walburga standing over him wand in hand. Orion was in a chair near the fire place reading and Regulus was fast asleep with a baby blanket in front of the fire. As they watched Walburga began quizzing Sirius and whenever he got an answer wrong he went under the Crucio. He was then beat with a cane until his back bled. he was then locked in his room his wounds not treated.

Sirius didn't move or react.

5 year old Bella was staring down at baby Narcissa. two year old Andromeda at her side. Narcissa was just a new born. Bella was jerked away from the crib and thrown in to the wall and yelled to stay away from the younger girls. It soon became clear that even at that age Bella's family thought she was crazy even though she showed no signs other than talking to herself because she had no one to talk to and wasn't allowed to be around the babies who got dotted on .

5 year old Tom Riddle sat in the window of his room watching the other kids from the orphanage play football down below. A girl was watching him from the door way. A cute little girl with blond pigtails and blue eyes . She looked like an angle and carried a porcelain doll. She began antagonizing Tom and tried to push him out of the third story window but his magic reacted and caused a large gnash across her face from above her right eye up to her chin on her left side. Her right eye was blind. The doll then melted. The girl screamed and ran off.

Severus at 5 years old was cowering in a corner as his drunken father beat his mother while she screamed at him to run. Severus held his bear tightly. This was his fault his mother had told him not to use his magic around his father. But he'd wanted his teddy and his daddy had taken it so he'd gotten it back now his daddy was really mad. His mommy stopped moving and his daddy began hurting him.

Severus didn't respond to his abuse.

"Enough!" Harry said, "Please don't ! NO!"

5 year old Harry sat in his cupboard beaten , bruised, and hurt. He was small and hungry and shaking. His uncle yelled for him and slammed the door opened and his uncle grabbed him out by his over sized shirt. He was told to help his aunt cook breakfast. Harry stood at the stove trying his best but he burned the bacon. His uncle went into a rage beat him then held his, Harry's hands over the stove flames until they burned. Harry screamed and cried and begged. When his hands were burnt his uncle slammed Harry's head into the stove over and over and over again. Harry's hair caught fire and his face burned. Harry kept screaming, crying and begging.

The screen went black and Harry sat there wishing he hadn't turned down the Alcohol. The room was silent for a very long time then Sirius and Remus were screaming over how they wanted to get back at the Dursleys. Harry didn't respond he just stared at the floor in front of him.

"I would like to scan your hands." Severus suddenly said, "for nerve damage . It would explain why you aren't very good in Potions..."

"It would help if Draco didn't always throw things in my cauldron." Harry said in a dead voice.

"Your hands." Severus insisted.

Harry finally looked at him. He would have loved for Severus to ask him to give him hands to him in any way shape or form in any other circumstances.

Severus took one of Harry's hands in his and began waving his wand over it. A piece of parchment appeared and began copying down what was wrong with his hand. Severus did that for both hands. He then began cursing to himself.

"I'm going to have to rebreak the bones they haven't healed right." Severus told Harry. "I also have a cream to help with the pain and stiffness and will reverse the nerve damage all together. "

Severus broke the bones in Harry's hands then began rubbing the cream on them. It appeared that they had both forgotten anyone else was in the room.
