Harry and Hermione together
CHAPTER TWO
Four months had passed since that talk, and Shade got permission. Harry was slowly losing his heart to shade and was glad for it. Shade just had one test to pass.
How to react to the Weasleys and Order of Phoenix during Christmas.
"Shade, come on. The Weasleys won't hurt you!" Harry laughed, tugging his soon to be boyfriend to the door of Grimmauld. "Sure friend and George will prank you, but we can get them back." Shade was still rooted, so Harry brought out the big guns. "Please," he begged with puppy eyes and a pout.
"Okay." Shade allowed himself to be pulled into the house.
"Sirius! 'Mione! Ron! Severus!"
"Quiet down, brat!" Severus growled, opening a door to their right. "Shade." He greeted.
"Mr. Snape, Mr. Black." Harry was tackled from Shade's side and apparate away. Hermione and Ron came down the stairs.
"Fred, George, let me go! Sheesh, it's just Shade!"
"Nu-uh!"
"It's the guy-
who wants to-
currupt your innocence." Harry blushed.
"I am no where near ready fro that, you perverts!" Harry poofed away, getting confused looks. "Teleportation, Nabu taught me." He giggled.
"I swear if he wasn't in love with Aisha, he would try to steal you." Shade ground. Harry just grinned, motioning to his friends.
"Shade, I would like you to meet Miss Hermione Granger soon-to-be Weasley, and her future husband, Ronald Weasley."
"Harry!" Both shrieked as they blushed.
"The one's who stole me was Ron's twin brothers. Beware, they are pranksters."
"Potter, I didn't hear you ask any of them questions!" A gruff voice said. Harry was instantly pulled behind Shade. Mad-eye Moody stood there. Harry glared.
"My name isn't Potter anymore." The man gave a confused look, "the order wasn't told, were they Sev'rus?"
"I thought you only wanted your friends to know. Harry has taken Black and my last names." The ex-auror hugged. "I will have Albus explain at the next meeting. Black, go show Harry and Shade to their rooms."
"I can take Harry." Ron said, "my brother, Bill, is your roommate Shade. He's my eldest brother." So Sirius led Shade, and Ron took Harry to his room. "Sirius thought you should get your own room, so you got his brother's old one." Harry grinned, hugging his friend.
"It's good to see you again, Ron. It feels great to be back on Earth." Hermione came in once the two settled for a game of chess. "How's school going?"
"We have a new defense teacher. She's a ministry woman and a right toad. You are probably learning more defensive moves than us." Ron grumbled, moving his pawn.
"Actually, my main class is 'How to be a Prince' right now. Shade is helping me."
"You really like him, don't you?" Hermione questioned.
"I...I think I love him, but I don't know what love is."
"Do you care about him?" asked Ron.
"Yeah, a lot. If he ever left me, I don't think I could move on."
"Does your stomach feel like it's about to burst around him?" Hermione continued, getting a nod, "do you look forward to seeing him, even if you've only been apart for a few hours?"
"Do you get a sense of belonging when together?"
"Yes, to all that, but-"
"You really really like him, close to loving him." Harry smiled at his friend.
"I know, like I said, I really think I do."
"Do you really, Harry?" All three looked up to see a soft smile on Severus's face.
"Yeah, I do. Like I told the twins, I'm not ready to be having sexual intercourse, but I...I love him, Sev." Harry blushed.
"Tomorrow is Christmas, I bet he would love that as a gift." Ron said with a smirk, "my baby brother is growing up." Harry's eyes misted over as he hugged his friends.
Ready to sing, 'Mione?" Severus was giving them pained looks:
"~Oh You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen-
"-Comet and Cupid and Donder and Blitzen-
"-But do you recall-
"-The most famous reindeer of all?"
"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer-
"-Had a very shiny nose-
"-And if you ever saw it-
"-You would even say it glows."
"All of the other reindeer-
"-Used to laugh and call him names-
"-They never let poor Rudolph-
"-Join in any reindeer games."
"Then one foggy Christmas Eve-
"-Santa came to say-
"-Rudolph with your nose so bright-
"-Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"
"Then how the reindeer loved him-
"-As they shouted out with glee-
"-Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer-
"-You'll go down in history.~"
"Frosty the Snowman?"
"Please, no!" Severus groaned, but the teens ignored him.
"~Oh, Frosty the snowman was a very happy soul-
"-With his corncob pipe and button nose, and two eyes made of coal.~" Harry went to continue when his voice was silence. He glared at Severus.
"Anything but that song!" Harry pouted, but nodded.
"Okay Sev'rus."
"Silent Night and Santa Claus is Coming to Town." Hermione said, holding back a giggle:
"~Silent night, holy night-
"-All is calm, all is bright~" A pained gasp echoed in the room as Severus clutched his left arm. Harry's eyes saddened. "That isn't fair!" He whispered harshly, tears falling, "why on Christmas? My first Christmas with a family?" Severus gave a sad smile. "Please don't go. I can reverse the dark mark...I-"
"Harry, we need this information to keep you alive. Shade, don't let him get depressed. I'll be back by morning." With that, the man was gone.
"Lets eat." Mrs. Weasley probed. The young prince shook his head.
"I'm going to just take a potion. I'm not hungry." He sat next to Shade, head on the older boy's shoulder. Mrs. WEasley sighed, nodding. While everyone ate, Harry played with Shade's hand. They moved to the den to listen to the Weird Sister's Christmas Special. That's when the boys fell alseep.
"Think we should wake them?"
"Can't open the gifts till then. Plus Fred and George will be down soon." A green eye opened to glare at them. Ginny smiled, "Professor Snape is upstairs asleep."
"I am not, Miss Weasley. I am sorry for worrying you, Harry." Harry propped himself up on his elbows, blusing as he realized he'd fallen asleep on Shade. Pushing up until he was kneeling over the other prince, he pecked Shade's cheek.
"Shade, time to wake up, " he said softly. Black eyes slowly opened and Harry's blush darkened as they widened. Shade sat up, and Harry stumbled as he fell into his lap. His blush turning into a soft pink as his soon-to-be boyfriend's erection softened. "Morning."
"Good morning." Shade pecked his nose.
"Are the lovebirds already awake?" Hermione asked, walking in, "that's promising." The two straitened out, HArry with his back to Shade's chest and in his lap. Everyone else came down, and gifts were passed out.
"Mrs. Weasley made you a Weasley Sweater!" Harry grinned, forcing Sade to put on the blue cotton jumper with a silver S. Harry was already wearing his green and gold. Finally, they came to the last box that had both princes' names on it. HArry unwrapped, and Shade opened the wooden box.
Harry inhaled sharply at the contents. Three manacles lay inside. A smaller one for him, and two for Shade. Green eyes sought out obsidian.
"Prince Shade of Planet Shadow, I have watched you interact with my godson for four months. In that time I have seen nothing but love, kindness, and care in your motives. I have seen you wait patiently for him to slowly falling in love. Will you take him as your bonded?" Severus asked, silence covering the room. Everyone held their breath as they waited for Shade's answer.
"I accept my position as Harry's Dominate." Sade whispered, wide eyed.
"Prince Harry of the Wizarding World on Earth, I have seen so much happen to you in just five years. From facing a giant snake, to facing your hardest task; falling in love. I have seen you open your heart to this young man beside you, seen you fall before my eyes. You have been hurt and beaten, but you never stopped fighting. Now that you have fallen in love, do you accept the man beside you as your bonded?"
(I was half tempted to end the chapter here, but I thought that was cruel. I couldn't leave Shade hanging on a thread as I gave my hand a rest. Worst of all, I couldn't do that to you guys out there reading this rushed story. So lets continue!)
"I accept my role as Shade's Submissive." A white light connected them and Shade lightly kissed Harry. "I love you."
"I love you too, Harry." An applause echoed through the room as Harry kissed Shade tenderly. Then he started to giggle.
"Now we have to tell Yami!" Pale skin got paler.
"He's going to kill me!"
"Nah, he loves me. Killing you would hurt me." Laughs followed that. Harry looked at his friends and family. "We have to leave after lunch. We only got this weekend okay-ed. Shade wanted to introduce me to his parents."
By the time they got to Darkness Kingdom, Harry was exhausted. Yami greeted them, and Harry offered a tired grin from Shade's shoulder. He was getting a piggy back ride.
"Hi..." He yawned, "hi Yami."
"What did you do? Party all night?" Harry winced.
"No, we fell asleep on a couch and were woken up at the crack of dawn."
"I see. Come, lets get you tailored and dressed. Mother and father are expecting you both soon." About an hour later, they were seating in a dinning room with the king and queen.
"It is nice to finally meet you, Prince Harry. Yami has told us you are a close friend of Shade's." HArry took a deep breath.
"Mi'lady, do you know what a bearer wizard means?" Both adults frowned, "it means a male can get pregnant thanks to being so powerful."
"What are you telling us this?" The king asked.
"Harry is a bearer, dad." Shade said softly, and his parents shared shocked looks, "and I have fallen in love with him."
"You have?" The queen whispered, hand over her heart.
"Yes, even if he couldn't have children, I would love him."
"My godfather says that, though soul-mates don't exist, Shade and I are the closest he has seen. He bonded us earlier today." Eyes narrowed.
"We're not married because Earth wizards cannot marry each other, but bonding is just as good. I wish to have a wedding here as well. When you are ready to accept us."
"Accept us? Love, it isn't accepting they need to do. It's their blessing we need. Sirius says it isn't right my godfathers had to bond us. That it should have been my dad." Harry whispered, fighting tears.
"Should have been? Where are your parents, Prince Harry?" The green eyed boy inhaled sharply.
"Dead. Murdered when I was a baby, by a dark wizard. I still have nightmares every time I come close to a dementor." Their eyes softened, "when they died, my first named godfather ran after the traitor. The rat framed him. On Earth, dementors are used as guards at a wizarding prison. My godfather escaped from there, two years ago, when I was thirteen. The minister of magic placed dementors at my school to 'protect' me. They caused me to fall from dangerous heights when I was flying my broom.
"My professor taught me to produce a patronus. We can't kill the dementors on Earth, but we can repel them."
"Patronus?" Yami echoed, Harry held out his hand.
"Expecto Patronum!" A silver fox and stag jumped out, causing Harry to lose his breath. "It changed." He licked his lips, "wow, I didn't know I was strong enough for two corpals."
"Wait, strong enough? You mean they-"
"Normally don't have shapes, and the last known wizard with two was Merlin, and that was when wizards still lived with normal humans. Magic has been reacted to badly, so wizards cower. I however, think it's been long enough. Merlin carried Arthur's child. Because it was out of wedlock, the boy took on the last name Potter. He was my ancestor, and these items you see me with got lost. Hidden so the heirs could not be tested. Until seventeen years ago. It's why my parents were murdered. Though I am a bearer, I am very strong, rivaling Merlin himself.
"I hate it." Their eyes saddened as Harry put a hand over his eyes. "I survived the impossible. A curse that instantly kills. Everyone back home sees me as a...a hero. I'm just a child who hasn't even hit puberty yet.
"They think I'm a spoiled child who get his way with every little thing. I never knew love until I was eleven. I knew pain and fear and depression, but never love." Shimmering, pain filled eyes looked up. "I was sent to my aunt's so I could have a normal childhood. Grow up away from my fame. Until kindergarten, I didn't even know I had a name. I was boy the freak. I was to do my chores, cook, and stay out of their way.
"Whenever something happened at my uncle's work, I was beaten up by my cousin. When I couldn't finish my chores, my uncle would beat me. If magic was mentioned, I was locked away in my room, the cupboard under the stairs. If I used accidental magic, I was whipped raw.
Harry was softly crying now, but knew he had to finish this. For his healing, and so they would understand. "It took weeks before I could stand human touch. I love to be held, but the only touch I had before school would cause me pain. It took four months for me to understand what I feel for Shade is love. I wouldn't handle letting him go. I would kill myself.
"But I won't make him choose between his family and me. That is like offering me my parents back, then killing them before my eyes."
"Mother, Father, I love you both, but I am in love with Harry. If you make me choose, you will not like my choice."
"We bless this bonding."
"Lucifer!"
"Ruby, they are made for each other. Besides, we can help them control the Shadow Creatures." The queen sighed, and Harry let out a choked laugh.
"Thank you. May I be excused?"
The wedding was set to a month after graduation in three years. They were already as good as husbands. Their friend were speechless when they returned. It was Helia and Riven they had a problem with.
"You little-" Riven growled, spotting Harry wearing all his accessories.
"Riven, I'm a virgin!" Harry squeaked, jumping in front of his bonded, "right now, he's just guiding me, like you do. I'm no where near ready for that!"
"If you touch him before he is eighteen, I will kill you." Helia said with a smile. Both teens shivered.
"Our wedding is after my graduation. You will come, won't you?" They agreed, Helia hugging him. "We got to get to class."
"Why are you decked out?"
"They won't come off until I'm ready to step down. It proves I'm Earth's Heir. It means I'm claimed, and that I am King." Harry blushed, "or rather, queen. I know what I'm doing. Thank you, though."
The year passed quickly and Harry learned that Voldemort have became active, thinking he was dead. So he had to be known as Harry Potter once again. It was time for the heir to return.
"Helia, Flora, Riven, and Musa are coming with." Harry told his friends, and they nodded. "Lets take my home by storm." Isreal rolled his eyes as the group stepped onto the Hawk to Alfea. Hours later, they were in Hogwarts where Harry was taking his OWLs. The week passed, and Dumbledore called an announcement.
"This year, Harry Potter transferred to a new school. Many of you can see he is sitting with his friends, wearing a few pieces of gold. Can any of you tell me what they are?" Malfoy raised a shaking hand, "well, Mr. Malfoy?"
"The heir's circlet and dominance bond manacle. He...he's our king." Harry stood, causing people to stare.
"You mean queen. I'm a bearer. I have been bonded to the Prince of the Darkness Kingdom on Shadow. Where our shadow creatures come from. No one but myself, my bonded, and our bonder can break our bond. It's time for a new beginning. No more prejudice and pure-blood supremacy. There are more muggle-borns now.
"Pure-bloods are killing themselves off. Squibs are being born more frequent. New blood is needed. Merlin was the first ever bearer, and his child was a Potter because Arthur was his father. Muggles only turned on us because we started to hex them. My bonded, he's what we call muggle, but half his people are magic. Muggles and magic can get along. It's us humans that cannot. No more attacks on muggles.
"Help them like Princesses Aisha, Bloom, Stella, and Roxy do as Fairies in America. Show them there is nothing to fear."
"And if we don't?" Pansy Parkinson sneered. Harry smiled sweetly.
"Why, my bonded's pets will have a nice treat." His face was innocent, but the wording caused shivers to go around the room.
"Okay, Harry, sit down before you go all sspecialist on them, love." A voice near the doorway said. Heads turned, beside the Weasley and Hermione of course. Harry skipped up to him.
"But Shade." He whined, a grin ruining the look, "let me have my fun!"
"Ahem!" Harry fixed a glare on Dolores Umbridge. She was smiling sweetly, but her eyes screamed lies.
"No ruining a prince's moment, toad." HArry glared, wandlessly, and wordlessly, transfiguring her into said animal. "Shade, come on! I want you to meet my other professors!"
"Harry-" started Shade.
"Oh! There are privacy spells on this whole room. No one can speak of this happening outside in the open where others can hear. Nor can it be taken from your mind. No writing it either. I love shadow magic! I need to tank your cousin for teaching me, Shade."
"Harry, tell them the laws."
"Oooh! Right! As of right now, no child is to be used as a tool for war." Albus Dumbledore's eyes dulled, "we should be living our childhoods falling in and out of love, passing and failing classes, having fun! This is a magical right. If anyone doesn't respect it, their magic will be ripped from them. This rite bonds everyone through shadow magic, not vows.
"There is no good or evil in magic. Only people can be evil." Harry's voice carried, "we make our choices. While I was in Magiks, I met an orge, he was nice and caring. I met evil and good mermaids. I battled a menitar. I fought with dementors just two weeks ago."
"Bull shit." Goyle called.
"No, it is not! I swear on my life magic that I have done these things." A white light filled the room, "if killing is evil, then I must be, because I killed to finish a mission. To save my teammate. I, your king, has killed." The room was dead silent.
"Harry hates violence." Shade took over, "he has only ever known it until he went to Red Fountain. We fell in love. We are bonded. I am not afraid to kill to protect him. People are killed and tortured everyday. Even in your courts. You use my people to do so."
"Dementors are not mindless drones. They have families. They can shadpeshift. When new ones come to Earth, it's exiles from Darkness. The Shadows have an item called thee Veil of Destiny. Every person looks into it. Their future is shown."
"Harry has nullified the statue of secrecy." Shade licked his lips, "muggles need to know of you. I'm not magical, but I love Harry. My planet doesn't have separate leader, except for kingdoms. Magical and non-magical mingle everyday. Earth is the only place that has done so."
"Next week, I have a press-conference with the Queen of England." Protests filled the air. "The ministry has been looked over by my in-law. Only a handful of your parents still have jobs." Silence reigned, "our world is dying. Our branch on the Tree of MAgic is so sickly, somethings has to be done."
"Why now? Why didn't your father do something?" Zabini asked, Harry looked at him with a small smile.
"Because he wasn't to live. I am the rightful heir, Blaise Zabini. If I were to die, every witch and wizard of Earth will lose their magic."
"Yeah right! You're just hiding from the Dark Lord!" Pransy cried.
"Afraid? No, no, no. I'm not afraid of him. I'm afraid of fear itself. When I was thirteen, Professor Lupin stopped me from going against the boggart.
"The reason? He thought it would be Voldemort." People winced at the name, "but he was wrong. I'm afraid to hear people screaming. Of my loved ones dying, but not of someone. I've seen a boggart without it's shifting. They look like mice with no fur, but ears and a rat tail. They use your fear so they can be left alone."
"Love, enough. Sit down, eat, and then we are leaving. Your godfather's trial is today. After all, he never got one, and you can provide proof with your parents' wills."
"Sirius Black was innocent?" Malfoy asked. Harry glared at him.
"That's right, Malfoy. Our cousin was innocent. He lost twelve years because of people like Fudge and your father. Everyone who was accused is to show up for a trial, and be questioned under a vow. If it breaks, they will lose their magic. They don't show up, they will lose their magic. I am sick of Death's hand."
"Love, sit-"
"Come on, we're leaving, Shade. Malfoy, do your daddy dearest a favor. Tell him to tell the truth." Harry turned to the headmaster, "you made a mistake. You not only placed me in an abusive home, but also sealed my parents' wills so Sirius couldn't be freed. You also sent me away. You gave me up. I am no longer your student, old man. My headmaster is Saladin. Good day."
The summer passed slowly. Harry attended trials known as King of the Wizarding World. He had gained respect of many a wizard and witch alike. His bonded even more so.
It was July 21st Voldemort made his move.
"Potter!" Harry stood from his seat beside Shade with a frown.
"How'd you know? Oh well, yes, Lord of Fleeing from Death?" The snake man steamed with cold rage. People were panicking around them. Harry grinned sadistically, "thought you were going to kill me off, didn't you? You are nothing but an idiot." Shade was getting people out, "you see, you committed treason against your king. Your magical king. The new punishment for that is to lose your magic." Ruby eyes widened, "buh-bye, Voldie, thanks for ruining my life." The man burst into black sparkles.
"Love, come on. Lets go home."
