Chapter 3

Prophecies, New Friends, and Soul Mates

"I need your help," Severus said.

"What's going on Severus?" Lucius asked looking at the young boy on the sofa.

"This is Alex Potter and his brother Harry," Severus answered, pointing to each of the them. Harry sat beside his brother holding his hand.

"What happened to him?"

"He gave a prophecy a few moments ago and then fell unconscious,"Severus said starting to pace the length of the room. "I have my suspicion on who the prophecy is about but I need your help to prove my theory."

"What do you need me to do?" Lucius asked.

Before Severus could respond, Alex stirred. Severus shot forward and helped Alex into a sitting position. "What happened?"

"Why don't you tell me what you remember," Severus stated.

"Harry and I were walking around outside your vault. Did I fall asleep or something?" Alex asked looking back and forth between Severus and Harry.

"You really don't remember?" Harry asked.

"Remember what?" Alex asked rubbing his temples.

"Alex, before I answer that, I would like to introduce you to my friend-"

"Lucius Malfoy," Alex said looking up at Severus with hazy eyes.

"How-"Lucius said.

"His a seer," Harry said with a smirk.

"He also has reader abilities I think," Severus said. "He knows things that I've never told him." Alex shrugged at the accusation in the statement.

"Well then Mr. Potter-" Lucius began.

"Alex, sir," Alex said cutting Lucius off and fixing him with a strong stare.

"Well then, call me Lucius," he said with a dip of his head. "Now, Alex, what can you tell me about myself?"

Alex looked at Lucius for a moment before his eyes went hazy again. "Lucius Malfoy...you have a son named Draco who is like a miniature version of you and you divorced your wife after Dracos fifth birthday. You are very wealthy and take great pride in your position in society. You can be very kind yet cruel to those you don't consider worth your time. Shall I continue?"

"Please do," Lucius said with a smirk.

"You are very powerful in the Dark Arts and a good duelist. You are also capably of using the Unforgivables," Alex said. Harry mouthed the word Unforgivables to himself wondering what they were before vowing to learn everything he could about them or at least get Alex to tell him.

"You own an enchanted cane that can block spells thrown at you and also contains your wand inside. Interesting fact," Alex said with a smile. "Lucius is Latin meaning bright or intellegent. It is also a name related to Lucifer, the Satans first name, which could mean you are bright but can do despicable things." Lucius gave Alex a smirk before nodding his head for him to continue.

"Wait," Harry said, with a frown on his face. "Isn't Lucius a name from a book we read last summer?"

Alex gave a thoughtful look before smiling. "Yes, he was a servant in Julius Caesar."

"A servant had my name," Lucius said with a frown.

"Well if I remember correctly," Severus said sitting beside Alex on the couch. "He was the servant of the man who was the leader of the conspirators who wanted to kill Caesar."

"Was he smart?" Lucius asked.

Alex shrugged, "I don't remember."

Lucius frowned before he said, "Continue."

"Malfoy is derived from a French word meaning bad or unfaithful."

"Yes, sadly," Lucius said.

"Anyways, back on topic you view yourself superior to muggles, muggle borns and half-bloods," Alex said glaring at Lucius. "Are we beneath you Lucius?"

Lucius looked at Alex and the look that he was giving him made him rethink what he normally would say. "...I..."

"I wouldn't answer if I were you," Harry said with a smirk. "You don't want to face Alex's wrath trust me." Lucius eyed the young men across from him before nodding his head.

"Didn't you have something you wanted to tell him Sev," Alex asked with an innocent smile.

"Yes, I need you to go to the ministry and visit-" Severus said.

"The Departmemt of Mysteries and find the Prophecy in the Hall of Prophecy," Lucius said, receiving a scowl from Severus. "You will be going with me as well."

"Of course."

"What about us?" Harry asked.

"You'll stay here with my son and his friend," Lucius said snapping his fingers and calling out, "Dobby!" In popped a houseelf, who was obnoxiously loud as he bowed to his master. The twins eyed the little houseelf for a moment before turning their gaze back to Lucius.

"Tell my son and his friend to come to my study," Lucius said.

"Yes master," Dobby said pulling on his ears before popping out of the room. A few moments later a blonde boy with silvery grey eyes walked into the study followed closely behind by a tall dark skinned boy with chocolate colored eyes.

"Draco, Blaise I would like you to meet Harry and Alex Potter," Lucius said.

"Potter," Draco said holding out his hand to Harry to shake.

"Please Malfoy call me Harry," he said shaking Dracos hand and then turning to look at Blaise.

"Call me Blaise as well."

Alex quietly got up off the sofa and glided towards them. Alex soft whimsical voice said, "Call me Alex." Both Draco and Blaise nodded their heads at them.

"Come on lets go to my room," Draco said grabbing Harry's hand and leading him out the room.

Alex stared after them for a moment with a frown on his face before turning to look back at Severus and Lucius. "I think I'll try to find the library."

"No need," Blaise said holding his hand out to Alex who took it. "I shall gladly show you where it is." Blaise and Alex exited the study chatting away about this and that.

The two males left in the room felt a sudden warmth leave their hearts as the two left the room. "You don't think," Lucius began before stopping.

"Impossible," Severus mumbled.

Lucius shook his head as if to clear it before standing and saying, "Well time to visit the Ministry."

Lucius and Severus stalked through the halls of the Ministry towards the Hall of Prophecy. "Do you think it's possible?" Lucius blurted out.

"What is?" Severus said scowling at the people they passed.

"To have multiple soul mates," Lucius said.

"Anything is possible," Severus drawled. "The question is, do you like sharing?"

"You know me Sev, I don't share," Lucius said with a smirk.

"Neither do I," Severus smirked back.

"Should we tell him?" Lucius asked, as they walked into the Prophecy Hall.

"There is a chance he already knows," Severus said with a chuckle. They walked up and down the rows until they found the prophecy that Alex had made that very morning.

Both of their eyebrows rose to their hairlines at the names that were listed on the prophecy. "Well I was right at least," Severus said as he picked up the prophecy and destroyed it.

*Meanwhile in Draco's room*

"So what house do you think you will end up in at Hogwarts?" Draco asked as he lead Harry to his room.

"I won't end up in Hufflepuff because I'm only loyalty to those I consider family," Harry began with a thoughtful look.

"Well thats good. Hufflepuff's are weak minded fools," Draco said, sticking his nose in the air.

Harry looked at him for a moment before saying, "Sometimes weak minded fools are not all they seem Draco. Anyways, I wouldn't end up in Gryffindor because I'm only brave when it will save me or my brother from trouble."

Draco blinked a couple of times before asking, "You don't want to be in Gryffindor even though your parents were in that house."

"I never knew my parents Draco," Harry stated as they walked into Draco's room. "So they won't determine what house I'll be in."

"True," Draco drawled as he laid back on his bed, Harry following suit.

"I think it comes down to Ravenclaw or Slytherin," Harry said.

"Those aren't bad choices," Draco said.

"What about you?" Harry asked.

"Slytherin of course," Draco answered without hesitation.

"Of course," Harry said with a chuckle.

*Meanwhile in the Library*

"I like you Blaise. I think we could be good friends," Alex said laying his head down on Blaise's shoulder.

"Of really," Blaise drawled flipping through the book in his lap.

"Yes, you're quiet yet observant," Alex said, stopping Blaise's hand on the book as he read the page. "Very good qualities."

"Thank you. I like you as well," Blaise said flipping the page when Alex let go of his hand.

"Of really," Alex drawled, mimicking Blaise.

"Yes, you're sweet, but I get the feeling you could be deadly if you want," Blaise said, causing Alex to chuckle. "You also enjoy the quiet like me."

Alex reached up and placed his hand on Blaise's heart and said, "Best friends?"

Blaise mimicked Alex and said, "Best friends."

Alex chuckled before dropping his hand and asking, "Okay so can you explain the Unforgivables to me again?"

Blaise quirked an eyebrow before saying, "Of course, now listen closely….."
