Here is the new chapter, it's a little bit longer that usual and.. well, hope you like it=)

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.

Everyone was seated around the table with a cup of chocolate in front of them, courtesy of Remus, waiting for Harry to start talking.

As soon as they came back they were greeted by wolf whistles from Sirius and Tonks once they saw the intimate way the twins arms were wrapped around his waist, their hands coming to rest over his hips on the other side. Needless to say, poor Harry blushed brightly at the attention while his twins grinned seeming to way too smug about it.

"Oh, grow up, get a life of your own and leave alone the boy. He's going to faint if he blushes some more"

Only two days ago Harry would have laughed, laughed hard, at anyone who said the man would defend him. No, he thought Severus Snape wouldn't be able to say anything nice to him, not even under imperius. How wrong he was. He could see now what all the nastiness and hate were for. The man was just acting to keep his cover as a spy, the potion master had been the only one who tried to actively protect him during school even if it was in his own way. Hell, he even stepped between him and a transformed werewolf!

Sure, he hated James Potter and Sirius Black for how they treated him in school, he may have disliked him too. But he was a man, not an immature idiot who took his grudges on his enemy's son, who was only just a child. Snape was acting based on what people, mainly death eaters and Dumbledore, expected from him.

The reason Harry was so sure of that was the looks the man gave him when he thought no one was looking, only Harry was sneakier than him when he wanted to, he had too while growing up if he wanted to survive in that house, and noticed.

Snape looked at him in concern and worry, like he reminded the man of someone he cared about. He was curious but knew better than to ask, especially now that his mental faculties were not limited by the blocks that along with his magic dampened his intelligence too; he would wait for the man to share it with him, if he wanted to.

Now, though he even spoke up for him, nicely at that, when his godfather didn't notice he was embarrassing him, he knew it was because he was happy his pup finally found some love but he still didn't like attention.

"Severus is right. Leave the kids alone Padfoot." Said Remus "and Tonks, please stop fangirling over them. It's a bit creepy if I may be frank."

The woman pouted, but settled down easily enough while Sirius gave him a sheepish look, silently asking forgiveness.

"Wait.. did he" "Just say?" the twins asked with wide eyes."Padfoot?!"

"Yeah. What's wrong with Moony calling me that?" wondered Sirius, looking at them strangely.

"Moony.." they whispered looking at their ex Dada teacher..

Suddenly the two marauders found the twins kneeling at their feet and bowing their heads low on the ground repeatedly, wild and exaggerated hand gestures included.

"We're not worthy! Please teach us oh great masters of pranks!" They chorused

Harry snorted at their antics and explained "They found the marauder's map in their first year, nicked it from Flitch's office. You've been their heroes since then"

"Why.. did you hear, mate? We have our own cute worshippers!" cooed Padfoot patting the identical red heads.

"I'm not sure it's something to gloat about" muttered Moony with a weak smile.

"But you're geniuses!" The twins looked at the two in awe.

Remus blushed a bit, not used to being complimented like that, the last ones to do it were James and Sirius many years ago "Um.. thanks?"

"Aw, they're so cute, our little minions.." yes, Sirius definitely liked the attention. "I wonder though" he tapped his chin with a long finger "Do you worship little progslet like that too?" he asked with a saucy grin.

"Prongslet?" they chorused

"Yes, Pronglset…or Bambi, I personally prefer that name it suits him better.. Harry, son of the one and only Prongs, aka James Potter" he revealed with a breathless voice

"You're such a drama queen" Remus muttered trailing a hand over his face in exasperation.

The twins turned at once towards Harry with glinting eyes before latching onto him from both sides, effectively sandwiching him "Harry, love" "Our precious" "The son of a marauder" "WE'RE SO LUCKY!" they rambled, making a big scene of petting his hair and caressing him.

"S-stop it!" he stuttered embarrassed. He did not want to be groped in front of his godfather and uncle and one of the twins just got a feel of his arse, seriously!

"Come on, you two! Settle down.." Bill tried to calm them.

When the twins showed no signs of letting go Harry send a small stinging hex to their thighs. They yelped and quickly let go.

"That was mean" Fred pouted rubbing the sore spot on his leg

"Yeah, we were just expressing our undying love for you" George whimpered

"You're impossible" Harry deadpanned to them, a light blush still straining his cheeks.

"And you did magic, wandlessy I may add, without being of age Mr. Potter" drawled Snape from his corner, making them jump in fright. They forgot he was there too, the man was just too silent, like a shadow.

"Uh.. I did.. it just came naturally" he shrugged his shoulders "And .. I actually am.. of age I mean"

At the confused looks he sighed deeply and threw himself back on his chair.

"Uhm.. I guess I should explain what happened then?" asked Harry biting his lip. He wasn't looking forward to it, mainly because he still hadn't had the time to think about it and deal with his emotions. He still didn't know who Harry was really at this point.

He felt a warm hand settle on his thigh giving silent support, soon followed by another hand opposite squeezing his shoulder. He sent a smile at his .. boyfriends? It still seemed surreal.

Taking a deep breath he started telling them everything that happened from the dementors attack to anything that came out during his visit, the rituals and the fact that he was a creature now.

"I can't believe Dumbledore would do all those things.. I thought he was the good guy" frowned Tonks, glaring at the remains of her chocolate

"We all thought he was really working for the good of the light, he has everyone convinced he can do no wrong"

"Remus is right. But now we know the truth. Maybe we can do something to stop him?" Sirius asked. He didn't want the man to get his filthy hands on his cute godson.

"It's not so easy, Black. I was able to recognize he was up to something fishy only because living at Hogwarts I spend so much time in close contact to him. He is smart, manipulative and probably has different plans to get out of difficult situations and still get what he wanted initially" sighed Severus. It was a good thing that after the Dark Lord came back he found the time to talk with the two marauders and put the past behind them. They weren't suddenly best buddies, but they could be civil to each other, most of the time, and didn't actively try to kill the other either. Now they could work together to protect the brat and hopefully kill Voldemort and deal with Dumbledore too.

"Professor Snape is right. We need to be careful about this" Bill said making them nod.

Severus snorted "How come the one who isn't my student anymore is the only one to address me with respect?" he asked "Severus is fine Mr. Weasley"

"Then call me Bill, please. Mr. Weasley makes me feel like I'm in trouble after a potion disaster" the older redhead chuckled.

"I think some of you are forgetting the interesting part though" Fred told them

"I agree with my dear brother"

They turned to Harry who was in the middle of them and said "Off with the glamours!"

"They're right pup. Let us see what you really look like" Sirius smiled, knowing that his godson would feel self conscious and shy at the moment.

"I.. um. Ok then." He said before getting to his feet and moving so all of them could see him better, even though it made him feel even more embarrassed "Just.. um.. don't freak out for the extra appendages, right"

He took a deep breath and let the glamour fall. He felt lighter without them.

Fred and George couldn't wait to see how their boyfriend looked. They thought that he would be gorgeous anyway and nothing could change the fact that they loved him, but when the glamour fell they felt their eyes widen, mouths go slack and pants tighten, well.. they were still healthy teenagers.

Harry was still short, petite they would say, but his looks were all around more feminine. The previously dark brown hair were now shiny black with brilliant red highlights through them, the untamable nest became like a sleek inky waterfall of hair cascading down his back stopping only inches above his butt.

His eyes, his gorgeous green eyes that made them fall in love at first sight, were still there, just even more bright and big if it was possible, it was like looking at emeralds. His mouth seemed fuller, more pouty and more.. not really red, but his lips were not as pale as before.

The tan skin lightened considerably leaving a smooth ivory in his place. All scars and imperfections were gone, as they could see from the rolled up sleeves of his shirt and the lack of the famous lightning bolt scar on his forehead. His body, though petite, was well built with sinewy muscles made for agility and speed over strength.

Let's say that in the twins minds he made for a very delectable package, but the new additions… Oh, those made the twins absolutely crazy.

On top of the inky locks sat two furry fox ears, its color was black closer to the head that faded to very dark red and finished with a white tip. Similar to those, were the five luscious fox tails swishing behind him.

The light blush coloring his cheeks also made him very tempting, nearly breaking their resolve to stay glued to the chairs.

That is, until a jet of very cold water hit them drenching them from head to toe.

"Sorry, sorry" laughed Tonks at their sputtering "Thought you needed to cool down a bit before you decided to jump this sexy little fox in front of us"

"Nym!" squeaked Harry, clearly embarrassed.

"Well.. she is right pup. I mean, you're my godson, but from an objective point of view you ARE a sexy little thing" Sirius grinned.

He would have to have a very serious talk with those twins, now that his godson looked even cuter, he had to make sure they would keep their hands strictly above the waist were he could clearly see them. And threaten them with many painful curses from his family library if they tried anything when he couldn't see them.

James wasn't there, so it fell on him to protect Bambi's virtue and he could always count on Moony. He saw the boy as his cub too, werewolves were particularly vicious when someone wanted to get involved with their young and didn't follow rules. Oh, this would be funny!

Bill chuckled seeing how his little brothers were so taken with the petite boy, he was happy for them. Harry would be good for the two pranksters. Even if they acted happy all the time he knew that they felt left out from their mother who never showed them the same amount of love of the other children and seemed to only lecture them. Harry though was different. He remembered reading in many letters how the twins felt so happy and appreciated every time Harry complimented them or their work. He knew that Harry would support his brothers and love them unconditionally, exactly like they would do for him.

"If I may ask, what kind of creature are you Mr. Potter?" drawled Severus. He didn't want to admit it but he never read, let alone saw, a creature with such particular features. It was obvious it was something related to foxes but none of the many books he possessed described something like that.

Remus nodded along, just as curious. He was relieved to find though that his wolf still saw Harry as his cub and that the creature inheritance didn't change anything. When Harry spoke about that detail he was scared that his wolf would react badly, maybe even aggressive in the worst case scenario. It was expected that not all creatures could go along well, werewolf and vampires were the most famous example, just thinking about vampires made his wolf growl in irritation.

"I'm a shadow kitsune" Harry replied going back to sit in between the twins.

He let out an embarrassingly loud moan when the two started to pet his ears and tails, blushing madly when he realized, but it was just sooo good!

Fred chuckled, liking very much the reaction of their little boyfriend.

George leant forward "Do you hear Forge? He's purring for us" he stage whispered with a smirk

"I.. I can't help it" Harry whined "Come on.. stop it!" he ordered them, but he didn't come as very convincing.

"Look Moony.. my little Bambi is so cute!" cooed Sirius "I didn't think it was possible for him to become even cuter"
Tonks looked at the swishing tails with longing "I wanna pet him too" she whined lowly

"Enough now" Harry looked at Remus with gratitude in his eyes "if you don't stop it, Harry won't be able to explain about shadow kitsunes"

"Fine" "Spoilsport" "We'll continue later" They promised giving a last caress before detaching themselves from the little fox boy.

"So.. uhm.. well the goblins told me something and the rest I know because the knowledge is hereditary and my fox told me. It's still confusing though and I'm sure I'll have to deal with strange things" Harry explained

"Kitsunes are known in Japanese mythology and even in the magical world they are believed extinct, or nearly so. They are incredibly intelligent and possess magical abilities that increase with age and winsome. They are mischievous too and like to use tricks and prank people" clue Sirius and the twins grinning at him "but are also faithful guardians, friends and lovers." He said.

He bit his lip thinking of what else to say "They don't have a real hierarchy but the more tails a kitsune has, the more powerful it is. Usually they would say older too, but I have already five and I just became one.. I'm practically a kit in kitsune years.. they live really long.. the max of tails ever recorded is nine. It happened only once and stories says that a kitsune upon receiving its ninth tail .. its fur become white or gold. It's also said that a fox can get more tails only every 100 years after that, but I don't know if it's true."

"That's really fascinating. And for you to already have five tails.. means you're scary powerful, right cub?" smiled Remus "Or should I start calling you kit?"

"I remember reading somewhere in a muggle book of Chalie's that kitsunes had shape shifting abilities. It is true?" asked Bill, now completely taken with the discussion

"Yes. In the muggle mythology it was said that the foxes, or demon foxes could take a human form, often becoming very beautiful women"

Sirius interrupted him muttering "or very beautiful feminine boys" earning himself a glare. He knew he looked like a girl, no need to rub it in too.

"Or duplicating the appearance of a specific person. They also said that a fox always had trouble hiding their tails when in human form and that they were scared of dogs" he continued

"Sounds like a methamorph" mused Tonks

"The real fact is that we have a human form already, only with some addictions. We usually hide them with our natural glamours or as we become more skilled with our powers we create illusions around us, they are like more powerful glamours because they can't be broken and no one can look past one, so in that way no one sees the ears or tails even if we go around in our basic form."

"Also Nym is right. The ability of a fox is the same of a methemorph, but not all of them manifest it. None of the kits, be it children or just turned, can morph for example and you can gain the ability only after growing three tails and it still is on different levels depending on the power of the kitsune and is usually coupled with our illusions. I am a partial metamorphomagus even though I just became a kitsune, it is probably because I have so many tails and also have Black blood through my grandmother Dorea, so I can change only things like my hair and eyes.. minor stuff. Maybe as I get older the ability will grow with me, I don't know."

"So that's why you asked me to teach you" she grinned, liking very much having someone like her to talk to.

"Yup"

"Oh, we'll have fun I can already see it! And you need to meet my mom! She will love you!" She squealed like an excited thirteen year old

"I'd like that. I always wanted to have a family" he smiled

"You have a family pup. You have me, Moony, Tonksie there and her mom, your two lover boys and their big brother, even ol' Snape here!" Sirius assured him reaching over to ruffle his hair and rub his fox ear a little "and don't forget those friends that would kill those traitors' arses for betraying you"

"Thank you"

"Is there anything else you can tell us cub?"
"Uhm.. kitsunes can create fire or lightning from their tails," he started listing using his finger to keep count "in my case those two plus I can manipulate shadows. They can manifest in other's dreams but it's something I wouldn't do unless it was a life or death situations, it sounds too much like violation of privacy to me; they create illusions indistinguishable from reality; drive people mad, though I don't really understand that yet I mean I can do it with pranks too right?.. Then. Uhm.. they are portrayed as both vengeful and loyal, they keep their promises and strive to repay any favour"
"Sounds like you alright" nodded Fred

"Usual gifts from a kitsune are knowledge, protection or long life. Uhm… kitsunes are devoted spouses and only marry once they find their fated mate. If they are human then being with the kitsune grants them youthfulness and long life so the kitsune doesn't have to live without them. If the mate is human then their children can be born human with special powers and then come into the inheritance at sixteen or can be born as kitsunes, if the parents are both really powerful" he finished blushing a little at the topic

"You have two mates though, it is normal for a kitsune?" asked Remus curiously

"Well.. there are records of very powerful kitsunes needing more than one mate to ground their powers, so yes it's possible. Also Fred and George are magical twins, they are two halves of the same soul and wouldn't fare well if separated so it's kind of expected for them both to be my mates right?" he asked tilting his head to the side in a cute way.

The twins looked at him with wide eyes "How do you know?" they asked together

"Uh?"

"We never told anyone that" "Not even mum knows we are magical twins" "They still think that we talk like that to get on their nerves" "And that we know each other thoughts only cause we're always together"

Bill too looked surprised. He did suspect that his baby brothers could be magical twins but then his mother shot down his hypothesis without thought, she also laughed about it and he thought, wrongly it seemed, that he just saw too much in the twins actions.

"I read on the subject in first year, when I spent my nights in the library and I just took it for granted that you were magical twins" he said blinking, like it was the most obvious thing not even knowing that he just earned the twins' most total love and devotion and trust.

"Now though.. well.. I can clearly see your souls and auras. The souls are identical and they are like magnets who attracts each other to stay close, your auras are different thought. Still very pretty"

"You .. Potter are you telling us that you can see auras?" Severus asked in awe, not even bothering to hide it he was so surprised.

"Yes?" was it really that big of a deal, he thought "I found after going to Gringotts that one of the things Dumbles blocked was my mage sight"

"You never do things halfway, do you pup?" laughed Sirius shaking his head, earning a pout from the boy and a muttered "not my bloody fault"

There isn't very much happening apart from a few explanations on Harry's creature and finally revealing his new looks.

As always, thank you to everyone who added the story to thair favorites or alerts and left a review; I'm looking forward for more =)
