-Letters-
As Harry continued to go to class he swore that the professor had it in for him. The minute he looked away from the professor they would call on him. When he answered the question correctly they gave him an attitude. The were acting more like children then the first years.
Thankfully his last class before dinner was wizarding politics with professor Malfoy. He had a feeling that this professor wouldn't act like a dick to him. Seamus, Dean, Neville, and him sat down in front. The Slytherin sat near and around them. The Gryffindors sat in the back.
"Good afternoon class. Since half of you haven't learned anything about wizarding politics I have decided to give you each private lessons. The ones who have learned will be exempt." Professor Malfoy said as he walked into the room. "Now, 20% of your grade will come from lectures. 10% from homework. 30% will come from projects and 40% from tests and quizzes." He looked at them sharply. "If anyone misses a private lesson will lose 50 points and a month worth of detentions. Also if anyone raises a wand they will be put in detention for a week and lose 30 points. If you fail to do homework or a project you will be in detention until you get it done and turned in to me. You will also lose 10 points. If anyone skips class you will have a month worth of detention and lose 60 points." He looked all the students in the eyes. "Do you understand?"
"Yes professor." All the students responded.
"Good. Those with private lessons will be handed a schedule at dinner."
Malfoy handed out a piece of paper to each student. Harry looked down and saw that it was an outline of lessons that they would learn in the class this month.
"As you can see I have an outline for this months lessons. Each month I will hand you an outline so that you can see what lesson I will teach you. Now I am going to hand you all a paper with a list of extra credit. This is of course optional." He handed each student said paper. "Since it has been a while since Hogwarts taught wizarding politics I will give you all a free text book at the end of the week."
He went up to the front of the room and looked at them all. He concealed the smirk that was trying to form when he saw that all the Gryffindors except Harry's group were scared.
"Since that is all I planned I will let you all go early." He waved his hand in dismissal.
Everyone packed up and went to their dorms to put their stuff away before they went to the Great Hall for dinner. Harry's group was the last to leave.
"Harry are you sure that you should tell him that he is your mate?" Seamus asked.
"Of course I am sure, Seam. If I don't it will be extremely painful and I will fade away."
"Oh, I can't believe I forgot that."
"It is okay." They left the room not knowing that Malfoy had heard them.
Lucius left for the Great Hall to inform his lord and friend what he had just heard. Harry and his friends put their stuff away in the dorms and then went to the Great Hall for dinner. Luna waited outside and then together they entered and went to Ravenclaw table.
They ate silently waiting for dinner to end. Harry couldn't wait for dinner to end so that he could talk to his godfather and mate. The rest couldn't wait for tomorrow since it would be the weekend.
Students started to slowly leave the Great Hall. The professors started to file out when almost all the students had gone to their dorm rooms. Harry motioned for his friends to leave and all that was left in the Great Hall was Harry, Severus, and Voldemort.
Harry walked up to where the other two sat and stood in front of them. "Hi."
"Why did you want to see us?" Voldemort asked.
Harry blushed a light blue and looked away. Both Voldemort and Severus became interested. Harry looked at Voldemort.
"Did you know that Ice and Snow demons have fated mates?"
"Yes."
Harry took a deep breath and looked deeply into Voldemort's red eyes. "You are my mate."
Shock coursed through both Severus and Voldemort. It took a few minutes before they both recovered.
"What?" Voldemort asked.
"You're my mate."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. Do you feel drawn to me?"
"Yes."
"That is because you are my mate."
"You're lying Potter." Voldemort hissed.
Harry's face stayed neutral, but they both could see the hurt in his eyes. Harry took a shrunken book out of his pocket. He unshrunk it and throw it at Voldemort.
"That is a book about Ice demons."Harry said emotionlessly and then took out another shrunken book. "This is a book about Snow demons." After he unshrunk it he throw the book at Voldemort too.
He looked at Voldemort and then looked at Severus. He turned and walked away. Both saw that Harry had tears in his eyes when he looked at them. Voldemort collected the books and left.
Severus shook his head and left for his rooms. When he arrived at the portrait that hide his rooms he saw that Harry was there. Harry's head was down as he leaned against the wall. Severus saw that his shoulders were shaking.
"Harry are you alright?"
Harry lift his head and looked at Severus. He was still crying. Severus went over to Harry and hugged him.
"Shhh. It is alright." Whispered Severus into Harry's ear.
He led Harry inside his rooms. He took Harry over to the couch and they both sat down. Harry curled into Severus side. Severus waited until Harry had calmed down before he asked Harry what was wrong, although he had a pretty good idea what was upsetting Harry.
"Now tell me what is wrong."
"Why doesn't he believe me. I was telling him the truth."
"You are going to have to ask him that. My guess is that he is afraid that you are lying to him so that you can get information." Harry looked up at Severus in shock.
"What? But I would never do that."
"I know. Just remember that you two were enemies before all this."
"I was manipulated into joining the blasted war."
"I figured that. Go to sleep Harry. We will talk more about this in the morning."
He showed Harry to a guest bedroom. Harry fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. Severus transfigured his clothes into pajamas and went to his bedroom.
