Chapter 4
Wednesday November 2, 1994
"I see Longbottom has left you as well. Just as well he wouldn't want to be considered your friend at a time like this." With that said Malfoy stuck his hand out to offer Harry something. "Look what I and some of the other Slytherins made. It's a pin to show our support of the real Hogwarts champion Cedric Diggory." Harry reached for the pin to see how bad it was and his hand touched Malfoys bare hand and one of the rings started to heat up. Harry groaned and dropped the pin. "What did you do to me Potter?" Demanded Malfoy.
"I'll explain all but not here. Either come with me now or you get no answer." And with that said Harry got up and left the hall heading towards the Room of Requirement. Once inside Harry pulled out his book and told Neville where he was and that he found another of his mates already. At this point Malfoy was getting frustrated.
"Tell me now Potter or I go to Professor Snape."
"I got an inheritance test done by the goblins early yesterday and became the lord of eleven houses and magic blessed me with eleven soulmates. So far you make the second one. If you show me your left wrist I can tell you which house you are Lord Consort for." With that said he waited to see if Malfoy – no Draco – would show him his wrist.
Draco did just that and Harry let out a breath he didn't know he was holding and said, "You're Lord Consort Black."
Draco laughed at that and continued to for 2 full minutes. "The irony is that my parents have always told me that I was going to be Lord Black because I was the closest blood related male to the family. Only to find out that I'm the Lord Consort instead and that you're Lord Black. Wait you said I was the second one you found. Who is the first and what are the other Lordships?"
Harry gave him a look that clearly said huh before answering. "Neville was the first and that was yesterday. He's Lord Consort Emrys. As for a list of all my Lordships that is interesting. They are Potter, Evans, Black, Peverell, Le fay, Emrys, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Flamel."
Draco nodded then whipped his head around when the door opened. Neville quickly walked in and closed the door. "Did it have to be Malfoy who would become your second mate Harry?"
"Not like I had much of a choice magic chose for me."
"I'm standing right here you know."
"We know." Said both Harry and Neville.
Draco just glared at them after that.
They both ignored him and continued their conversation.
"When I got your message I got a blank book for him." With that said Neville turned towards Draco and said, "This book is a way to communicate with any of us. You just need to put your wand tip to the cover and allow your magic to flow through you into the book and it will bind to you so that you will be the only one able to use yours. No one else will be able to read what is in it either."
Draco looked shocked that Neville had even spoken to him let alone gave him a magical way to communicate with him and Harry. "And just how did you get ahold of such an item?"
Harry answered. "They are mine. There were exactly twelve of them in the Hufflepuff vault. It will change color once it is magically bound to you and have your name on it. The goblins are currently doing an audit of all my accounts and will be contacting me to come in again soon. When I go you both as well as any other mates I have at the time will come with and get an inheritance test so we can find if you guys have anything blocked like I had. Every single one of my mates will have the test done even if they don't want to.
Neville nodded right away but Draco just looked at Harry for what seemed like forever and then nodded his head as well. Then he grabbed the book that Neville was holding out to him and did what he had said. The book became a beautiful gray silver color that was the perfect match to his eyes and his name was in perfect cursive in green on the back.
"I think all the books are going to match the owner's eyes. Don't you agree Neville?"
"I can't answer to the positive until we have more than three people to compare this hypothesis with."
"What are you talking about?"
"Well my book is the same green as my eyes and his is the same grey as his eyes."
"Neville is right then we can't confirm or deny that they will all be like ours until more of your mates have claimed their books. By the way do you have any guesses on who your other mates are? Only I would rather not be stuck with some like Weasel for life. I would rather it be someone I can relatively get along with."
"Don't worry it won't be Ron. Magic wouldn't do that to me after blessing me with eleven mates. And I like that name for him. Maybe I'll start calling him that as well."
With that said he checked the time and exclaimed "If we don't leave now we will be late to potions and I don't want to be on Snape's bad side today. He already hates me and dislikes Neville."
After saying that the three of them rushed off to potions and made it with two minutes to spare.
Professor Snape came into the classroom right on the heels of Ron who thought he was on time until Snape cleared his throat.
"10 points from Griffindor Mr. Weasley for being late."
All the Gryffindor's, except Hermione, gave Ron a glare for losing them 10 points so early into the class.
Once everyone was seated Snape started the class.
"Antidotes!" said Snape, looking around at them all, his cold black eyes glittering unpleasantly. "You should all have prepared your recipes now. I want you to brew them carefully, and then, we will be selecting someone on whom to test one. . ." *
Snape's eyes met Harry's, and Harry knew what was coming. Snape was going to poison him. *
As soon as Snape told the class to get started Colin Creevey came into the classroom. Snape looked at him and said "Yes?"
"I'm to bring Harry up to the staff room for the wand weighing and an interview for the Daily Profit."
"Potter leave all your things I will have you finish your antidote when you come back."
"Please sir, Harry needs to bring all his things with him."
"20 points from Gryffindor for missing my class due to your obvious need for attention. I don't want to see you again today. Do you hear me?"
"Yes sir."
With that Harry picked up all his things and left the classroom and followed Colin to the staff room. The whole time they were walking Colin was going on about what he thought was going to happen in the room and how everyone else should already be there. When he had said that Harry was angry, of course they would make him be the last one there if only to show how they didn't want him there.
Outside the room Harry turned towards Colin and said, "You don't have to come in with me. You must be late to class? Thank you for bringing me though."
"No problem I have a note to come late to class. So I'll see you later, bye."
