Chapter 1

When Harry came to again, he was standing on platform 9 and ¾. He had his trunk in his hand and he was wearing Hogwarts robes, he remebered what The Lady had told him. He had been given very specific instructions along with details about his personality and he had been assured that if he followed those instruction properly, a lot of things would be set right.

But this was his only chance, if he made one mistake them it was over, he was on his own. He gritted his teeth and pulled himself together, he had never been one for missed chances anyway. With that thought in mind, he took the plunge into his new life.

He pulled his trunk along the busy, packed platform and observed everything along his way. This was the year that Snape called Lily a mudblood and this was also he year the werewolf incident would take place. He did not care about Snape but he did care about his Godfather.

So by order of importance he first had to find a way to get rid of Peter Pettigrew, then he could focus on the rest. Lady Magic had told him that she would be helping but he would need to do most of the work on his own. That was nothing new for him.

He was broken out of his thoughts when he saw two red heads, the Prewitt Brothers and near them he could see a few other order members. Molly and Arthur would have graduated by now so he did not expect to see them.

Just then the engine blew steam signaling the train was about to leave. He jumped onto the first cart he reached and breathed out a sigh of relief, there was the first part done. Now to find a compartment. He did not want to meet the Marauders straight away, neither did he want to see Lily Evans so that ruled out the Gryffindor compartments.

He pulled his trunk along and searched for atleast an empty or an almost empty compartment. He found one. He pulled the door opened and was shocked by what he found.

The boy inside looked so much like Sirius Black, exept where Black oozed mischief, this boy oozed suaveness. His hair was smooth and wavy and was cut fashionably. His clothes screamed class and his posture screamed breeding. This was Sirius' younger brother, this was Regulus Black.

"Well hello Gorgeous," damn even his voice oozed class. Harry looked up and saw that he had indeed captured the Black's attention.

He was not surprised though, lady Magic had told him that his looks would be what they would have been had he grown up with his parents. He had long smooth black hair pulled back in a french braid and a very slim posture. He would never have been the tallest or the most muscular, instead he was almost femine. Very androgynous.

"Hello may I sit here?." He asked softly, he was soft by nature.

"Of course, come in." He was invited in with a smooth smile and wave.

Harry came in and hauled his trunk up into the overhead compartment. He then sat down opposite Regulus and took a minute to catch his breath.

"Who are you, if I may ask, I don't belive I have seen you around Hogwarts before." Harry's attention was caught when he was spoken to.

"I believe you are supposed to introduce yourself first." Harry replied smiling playfully. Regulus caught on to the smile and shook his head.

"How rude of me, allow me to introduce myself. I am Regulus Black, Master to the most noble and ancient house of Black." He said with a hint of snobbishness to his voice. Harry could not blame him, if he had been brought up a Black he would have been snobbish too.

"Please to meet you Master Black, I am Bambi Di Winter, heir to the house Di Winter." He said holding his hand out to be shaken.

"The pleasure is mine," and instead of shaking his hand, Regulus lifted it up to his mouth and kissed it. This brought a mild blush to Harry's face.

"Pardon me asking, heir Di Winter, but how come I have never seen you around Hogwarts before." Regulus asked honest curiosity peaking through.

(Harry from now on will be Bambi)

"Yes, that is because I was home schooled till just a few months ago. I am the son of Astrea ad Mikhael Di Winter." Bambi answered, he saw recognition in Regulus' eyes.

"The famous potioneers, they recently died in an accident leaving their substantial fortune and name to their only son... You." He said reciting from memory. Bambi nodded, that was who he was in this world.

"I am so sorry for your loss, it must be hard." Regulus said, actual remorse on his face.

Bambi nodded, "Thank you for your condolence. It is not that hard, they were hardly around. I did not know them very well, I was raised by governesses and nurses you see."

Regulus nodded, he could relate, "How come you have come to Hogwarts, Should you not have gone to Beauxbatons?" he asked.

"I was meant to have gone there, but my guardian and personal lawyer are based in Britain so I was forced to come here." He answered. "But enough about me, tell me about you."

"Well I was hoping to learn more about you mon petite beaute' but I will oblige you." Regulus said smiling at Bambi with a glint in his eyes. What he said combined with the glint caused Bambi's blush to come back full force.

"I am the son of Walburga and Orion Black and I have an older brother Sirius Black who is the heir. " He said, his voice becoming less happy as he mentioned his brother's name.

"Thank you for telling me, now if it is not too much trouble can you tell me about Hogwarts?" Bambi asked, he did not want to bring up the topic of Sirius yet.

The slight unhappiness in Regulus' eyes left and the glint came back, "I will if you come sit next to me." The bloody fellow was flirting now, Bambi gave him a playful glare but obliged anyway.

Regulus smirked when he got his way, okay he could push the boundries a little, "Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry is one of the oldest schoold for magic. It was built before Beauxbatons and Illvermony by the founding four.." And he went on to explain the fouders and the history behind the school and the various famous people who had studied there.

Bambi listened patiently even though he knew all this, he liked listening to Regulus talk, he had a very nice deep voice.

"There that was a shortened version of the history of Hogwarts, if you want to know more then I recommend you read.."

"Hogwarts a History, I know." Bambi interrupted with a cheeky grin.

Regulus looked at him baffled for a moment before he smirked back, "Then why did you ask me my dear?"

Bambi was sure he knew exactly why he had asked him, but he replied anyway, "I don't know, maybe I wanted to listen to you talk, take you for a ride.. the possibilities are endless really."he said with an exagerated shrug.

"Well in that case my cheeky beauty, which house will you be in?" Regulus asked, Bambi was somehow beggining to enjoy the slightly possesive nicknames.

"I am not sure, I could be in Ravenclaw, I have a love for books, at the same time I could be in Hufflepuff for my loyalty towards people I care about." He said listing off on his fingers. He was teasing Regulus and Regulus knew it.

Regulus captures Bambi's waving hands and looked deep into his eyes, "Which house will you be in?" he asked again, seriously this time.

"Gryffindor, I have a reputation for being stupidly brave." Bambi answered, of course he was not sure if that was what would happen but being in any other house would hinder his work and that would be disastrous.

Regulus dropped his hands and leaned back, "Somehow I believe that." He said with an almost fond sigh.

Just then the trolly witch appeared and Bambi pulled out his money pouch to get candy for the rest of the ride. Just as he was about to pull out his sickles a hand stopped him, "What do you think you are doing?" an irate voice asked him.

He blinked with doe eyes at Regulus and answered, "Getting money for my candy." What on earth was his problem.

"Put it away and tell me what you want." Bambi looked at Regulus indignantly, of all the snotty things he could have done...

"Oh calm down, I just met you and I wanted to treat you. You can return the favour during our first Hogsmede visit." Okay this placated him a little. "So what do you want?" Regulus asked again.

"Cauldron cakes, pumpin juice, licorice wands and water thanks." He answered politely. Regulus nodded and asked for that and got a few things for himself as well.

The compartment was silent after that as the boys ate a little of all that they had got just to stave of the signs of hunger that they felt.

"Do you have anymore relations, I heard the Black family is one of the largest pureblood families around." Bambi asked as he ate a cake. Regulus looked up sharply and nodded.

"Yes that is true, we are a rather large clan. So lets see apart from me and Sirius there are two blacks at hogwarts, my first cousins, Narcissa, Bellatrix and Andromeda. Narcissa is a year below us and is engaged to Heir Lucius Malfoy who graduated last year. Then is Bellatrix who is in her seventh year and is engaged to Heir Rodolphus Lestrange and finally we have Andromeda who graduated a year before Lucius and she is engaged to a french pureblood. Their wedding is set for this december." He said listing off his fingers.

Bambi digested this information, he did not care about Andromeda, even Sirius had not liked her all that much. He wanted to meet the other two Black sisters though.

"What about you, any cousins, distant relations, betrothal matches?" Regulus asked, his voice peaking towards the end. Interesting.

Bambi shook his head,"Nothing of that sort sadly, though my lawyer and guardian are looking into matches for me. I am a carrier you see so they feel they must match me quickly to save my virtue. More like they don't want me to lose my fortune and in turn their income." He said huffing slightly towards the end. He watched Regulus closely.

He reacted exactly how Bambi wanted him too, he got a glint in his eye, different to the one he had given him earlier that day.

They spoke for some more time about various topics and Bambi was surprised at how easy it was to talk to Regulus, he was a good conversationalist and had knowlage on a variety of topics, he also had a dry sense of humor. The comination made for very interesting times, but it tired him out.

"Regulus if you dont mind, I am going to take a little nap. I feel a little worn out." He said, he did not have to fake it though, he was feelig knackered.

Regulus nodded at him dismissivly he was clearly thinking about something else. Harry moved to go back to the other seat to stretch out when he was grabbed firmly and pulled against a firm chest, And where exaclty do you think you are going?"

Harry shook his head, "Nowhere apparently." And he snuggled into Regulus and closed his eyes. He was asleep before he knew it.

LINE BREAK

When he finally woke up later, it was dark out meaning he had slept longer than he had wanted to. Well, he should have expected that really. He squirmed a little and groaned causing whoever was holding him to chuckle. His eyes went wide, he was not alone was he.

He got up with a start and looked at the person he had been abusing as a pillow for Merlin knew how long, he blushed.

"Good eveing sleeping beauty." Was his greeting. "You slept for a while, we are nearly there. Infact I was just about to wake you up to change."

Harry nodded his head numbly, had he really been asleep that long, he wanted to sleep just long enough to catch his breath not the whole journey.

"Did I miss anything?" he asked, normally after lunch was when people started moving around and greeting other people.

"Nothing much, Bellatrix came to ask why I had not joined her and the the rest of the Slytherins. I did not have to explain much. She wanted to meet you later though." Damn he even missed Bellatrix.

He did not hate Bellatrix, she killed her enemy, she did not do it just to hurt Harry, she just wanted an enemy out of her Lord's way.

"yes of course, I would like to meet her." He replied warmly.

Soon enough the train had pulled up into the platform and it was time for them to get off. He was not sure what he had to do so he just clambered into whichever carriage Regulus got into and decided that he would just talk to a teacher once he got to the actual school.

"Well well, if it isn't the little cutie, enjoyed your nap dearest?" a teasing question drew him out of his inner planning.

"Well yes, I am Bambi Di Winter, it is a pleasure to meet you Ms.." he trailed off.

"Ms Bellatrix Black and the pleasure is definitly mine" she purred, now that caught him off guard, the Bellatrix he knew looked nothing like the girl sitting in front of him, this was a beautiful teenager, not a mad mass murderer. She was a sultry beauty, with heavy lids and full red lips. Her hair was a curly mass, not a bushy mess like Hermione's more a wild princess curl sort of way.

"Bambi, these are the rest of my friends, Rabastan Lestrange, younger brother to Rodolphus, Corban Yaxley and Barty Crouch Jr." The boys all nodded their heads towards their newcomer and looked at him as though they were seizing him up.

They made small talk all the way to the castle and Bella mixed a few teasing hints into it. Bambi enjoyed himself more than he thought he would in the company of those who, in his time, grew up to be Death Eaters. he did wonder where Snape was though, not that he was looing forward to meeting the slimy git, he was just curious.

The carriage rolled up to the front of the castle and he just took a moment to take it in, no matter where he was the castle would always be home to him. The beautiful castle with its gentle magic and welcoming aura was just what he needed to settle the last of his nerves.

Barty Jr helped him out of the carriage and placed a kiss on the back of his hand once he had got down. Barty then waved at him and dissapeared into the crowds. Another person then took his hand and this time he welcomed the kiss placed on it.

"It was nice meeting you Master Black., I hope I see you around." He wished him politely.

"I assure you Bambi you will be and please call me Regulus. I will be most annoyed if you don't do so just to be cheeky." Regulus said still holding his hand.

Bambi blushed and nodded and he was released. Regulus too dissapered into the crowd after that and Bambi was left to go find the deputy headmistress. Not that it was hard, Professor McGonagal really stood out in her tartan robes and pointed hat.

"Good evening Professor, I am Bambi Di Winter, the new transfer student?" he asked her hesitantly after greeting her.

she looked down her nose at him, "Ah yes, we have been expecting you, I hope you know about the sorting ceremony?" she asked. Bambi nodded. "Very good, you will be sorted before the other first years so please wait in the front of the line, off you go now." She gave him a little shove towards the group of first years.

Walking up to the front of he line proved harder than he expected it to be, he was taller than the first years but not tall enough to really differentiate him from them, so he had to wade through a group of firsties with mixed emotions, but he made it though and he got his first glimpse of the hall.

It was just the same as it was in his time, even the teachers were mostly the same, only Snape was missing from the staff. He turned his head around to look at the students, he could not see the Gryffindor table but he could see the Slytherin one. He saw Regulus looking at him intently and gave him a small smile. Just then Professor McGonagall made her way to the front and the ceremony began.

"Before we begin Professor Dumbledore would like to say a few words." She announced as the Headmaster's queue.

He stood up dresses in as garish robes as ever, "Good evening to all of you, I take great pleasure in welcoming our newest batch and I take just as much pleasure in welcoming back our students. And finally I welcome our first transfer student who is here beacause of a tragedy which recently befell his family. All of you please join me in welcoming Mr Bambi Di Winter, he will be joining us for his fifth year." He said giving Bambi a jovial smile and then sitting down.

"Now the sorting ceremony will begin." Professor McGonagall announced.

"Di Winter, Bambi." She called out and he walked firmly up to the dias with carefully measured steps, he was hyperaware that basically the entirety of Hogwarts was watching him. He sat down on the stool and felt the sorting hat being placed on his head.

'What have we here, a time traveller and a favoured one of The Lady.' Bambi was ready for the hat this time and did not show any shock on his face.

'Well hat where are you going to put me?' he asked. He was sure that if the hat had hands he would be scratching his beard.

'Well that is the question now isn't it? I stand by what I am going to say, you will do well in Slytherin, but somehow I don't think that will help you much mmm?'

'You got that one right, I am not here on holiday.' He said a little harsher than actually planned. The hat chuckled, 'very well cheeky brat.'

"Better be GRYFFINDOR." The Gryffindor table politely clapped or their version of polite anyway, Bambi grinned from one corner of his mouth to the other as he went to join his new year mates at their table. As he walked he turned and glanced at the Slytherin table just once, Regulus lifted his goblet to him.

"Oi Di Winter, come here" a voice shouted out to him, damn that voice pulled heart strings. He followed the voice and there sat his teenage Godfather and the rest of the Marauders and a ittle way down sat the beauty that is Lily Evans.

Bambi meandered over suddenly feeling very nervous, what if they did not like him, it was a ridiculous though but that did not stop him from feeling it. He sat down and smiled at them. Sirius was sitting as close to James as possible without actually sitting on his lap and to his other side sat Remus. The rat was sitting to the other side of James.

"Helloooo earth to the newbie," James' hand waved in front of his face.

"Hello, please call me Bambi" he said, really not sure what his introduction should have been, maybe he should have rehersed this.

"Hello Bambi, I am Sirius Black and these are my friends, James Potter, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew." Sirius introduced himself in the same polite voice he had used, mocking him apparently. Well then..

"Black huh, I met you brother Regulus Black on the train I also met a cousin of yours Bellatrix." He said. Sirius actually frowned for a minute before his grin came back.

"Did you now and what did they say." He asked, okay now he was definitly mocking Bambi.

"Oh nothing but he is a wonderful person, very polite and kind. He even let me take a nap on him." Bambi added casually lifting his goblet up to his mouth.

Sirius was just about to retort when Remus broke in, "that's enough, behave both of you." Merlin bless Remus and his gentle heart. "hey Bambi, we are your new roommates and year mates, its a pleasure to meet you. I am the prefect for this year as well so please feel free to ask me if you have a problem."

"Its very nice to meet you Remus and I will keep that in mind."

Just then Dumbledore called for silence and began the feast. James and Peter stayed quiet throughout most of the feast, James because he was staring at Lily and he did not care much for Peter. But Remus and Sirius kept him entertained.

When dinner was over he left early with Remus at his request so that he could be shown up to the dormitories along with the other first years.

"Hey Evans" Remus called out and Harry found out exactly why his father was so enamoured with her. She was a beauty no doubt, perfect figure and firey red hair, of but her eyes , they were identical to Bambi's.

"Yes Lupin, this the newbie." She said pointing at him, umm rude.

"Hi I'm Bambi Di Winter, and you are." He said butting in and sticking his hand in her face for her to shake.

"Sorry, hello I am Lily Evans, Its nice to meet you." She said with a flush on her cheeks.

After that introduction he was shown up to the Gryffindor common room and he made sure to be appropriatly shocked and showed the right amount of awe. When Remus and Lily finished talking to the first years Remus showed him up to the dorms and he saw that his trunk had already been brought up.

The room was exactly how it had been in his time, the four poster beds pushed towards the circular walls with large windows and a chest of drawers with a mirror on top for each person. From the looks of things Peter had the one closest to the door and next to his was James followed by Sirius the Remus and Finally him. He had the one next to the largest window which he was really happy about.

"Well bathroom is through there and breakfast is at seven in the morning. Ill leave you to it?" asked Remus awkwardly. Bambi waved him off with a smile.

He was tired anyway, he just wanted to crawl into bed and sleep away and that was what he did. He took a shower pulled on his night clothes and fell in bed.

He did not hear when the rest of the Marauders came up, he did not hear them as they got ready for bed and he did not hear Sirius' comment on welcoming him properly.
