Also very important if Harry pulls out his own feathers outside his molting season where he losses them it will hurt like hell. His mate cant pull them out (for many reasons) if some one other then Harry pulls them out it will hurt like hell.

Blood ties

chapter 6

Quite a few weeks had passed since Harry had come to live at Malfoy manor. A lot had happened in those few weeks everything from learning magic history from Narcissa to purebloods and social standing from Lucius as well as the fact he was a pureblood he had to learn how to act like one for the future. He also got a rather fun crash coarse in Oculmency from Acantha who had said it would be usefully to be able to try to push out nosey old coots. He'd also had some dark arts lessons from Bellatrix he also spent a lot of time with Draco.

The Malfoys and Harry where currently in Diagon alley collecting his and Draco's school supplies for the up coming year which was fast approaching. They first stopped of at Gringotts first then they went to Scribbulus Everchanging Inks stationary shop while Lucius and Draco slipped away to Knockturn alley. A little while they met up again and when't to Madam Malkin's for school robes then to Twilfit & Tattings to get himself new clothes in both wizerding and Muggle verity to get himself a new wardrobe so he wouldn't have to keep wearing Draco's. They proceeded to the Apothecary to buy new ingredients. Before they FINALY got to Flourish & Blotts where they found an impossibly large pile of people inside and mostly women at that. After being jostled around by the throng of witches Harry found himself at the front separated from the others.

Seated at a large table was surrounded by pictures of his own face all winking and smiling there pearly whites to the women. The actual man (whom he found out was named Gilderoy Lockhart by the book propped up beside him) was wearing robes of forget me not blue, with his wavy hair every bit as perfect as one could get it, with nary a hair out of place.

A short squirrelly looking man was jumping around from foot to foot snapping photographs which emitted puffs of purple smoke with ever blinding white flash "out of the way" he snapped at some one behind him "this is for the Daily Prophet!" Only for an irritated boyish voice to snap "big deal" Gilderoy hearing the voice looked up only to spot Harry pondering at the familure voice he had just herd. "It can't be…Harry potter?" the crowd parted whispering excitedly.

Lockhart suddenly dived forward seizing his arm pulling him to himself and to the front where Lockhart pulled him towards himself cheeks burning furiously in embarrassment as well as anger as he desperately tried to pull away just wanting to get out. "Come on Harry big smile together you and I will make the front page after the sound of furious camera shutters snapping pictures. Finally when his arm was let go he tried to sneak away only for Lockhart's arm to end up around his shoulders where the wizard then proceeded to announce that he was receiving his entire school year books free of charge, as well as that he had taken up the defense against the dark arts position. Harry was feeling very stressed out by this which he new was not a good thing in his case for his feathers he was finally let go and would have been fine that is if it weren't for the fact that Gilderoy Lockhart found absolute need to ruffle Harry's raven black hair where his man bracelet got caught on one of the longer feathers that had formed.

Pulling harshly Lockhart got his bracelet free which for most yeah it would have hurt to pull out hair but has it was one of Harry's phoenix feathers its one of the worst things you could do its why no one ever got a phoenix feather out side there molting time frame because if you pulled one free it felt well…the pain factor was up there with the Cruciatus Curse.

At the moment that he pulled Harry let out a deathly loud high pitched screech( think in the movie Happy Feet where Mumble tries to sing but instead lets out a horrible screech) as his entire body seized up in immense pain and eyes watered as he stumbled a few steps.

The entire store was deathly silent at the sound of a bird being tortured all eyes where then directed between himself and Gilderoy Lockhart watching as Gilderoy pulled the feather out of his bracelet as he held it up where it lengthened to what its full size would have been and bleed to forest green. Harry clutching the spot where the feather had been ripped free stood shaking in pure anger and pain. A sudden voice yelled out "THAT'S A PHOENIX FEATHER!" Harry made a grab for his feather only for Gilderoy to hold it up and away from him. Suddenly out of no where a bright flash of red light from a spell came racing towards the feather where it burned to ashes. harry froze looking for the caster only to meat mercury eyes that quickly turned to grey.
