Blood the Darkest Shade of Black

by Blacksoul98

Young Harry runs away at the age of eight from the Dursleys. He then meets a group of interesting people called the Blackbloods, who introduce Harry into the world of magic. So, when Harry gets his Hogwarts letter he shocks the whole Magical World to the core. During this time he meets young Draco Malfoy, and of course his family of Bloods is behind each step of the way.

7. Chapter 7

I don't own Harry Potter, only the Blackbloods.

Chapter 6

Harry blinked and looked at the old wand maker in shock. He had completely forgotten that he had to aquire his own wand too. Nodding, he looked at Olivander his eyes wide in curiosity.

Bella got a watch out and looked at it. She winced and looked at the elder man. "If you could please wrap this up. Like I said before I would hate to rush you, Olivander, but people are going to get suspicious if you stay closed much longer."

Narcissa didn't say anything, but she shot the Blackblood a look. "Why are you here? I know that you said that you adopted Harry, but that does not explain why you have showed up. I was under the impression, that you have given me over the time, that you didn't care much."

The Alpha's face went blank and the two coloured eyes gazed at the Lady Malfoy. "Harry is pack. That is all there is to it. I don't need words, and I do not need a reason. However, since I have a strong respect for you Milady I'll give you the only thing I can give you. Pack is family and family is pack."

The Lady Malfoy didn't say anything only raised an eyebrow. Bella gave a quick smirk to the expression and looked at Draco. "Congrats on your wand, kid. Now, it's Harry's turn. I think that you can help like he helped you."

Gray eyes widened and the Malfoy heir looked excited. Narcissa didn't say anything, her lips twitched and she nodded. Yuu walked forward and bended down to look at the young boy. Harry chuckled and said,"Yuu as much as I hate to say it, you really can't explain things well."

The black haired Blackblood turned and glared at the other. "Well what are you going to do? Teach him yourself?"

Harry only raised an eyebrow and walked forward. He shoved Yuu aside, who dramatically tumbled over for a seconds. He raised an eyebrow at the elder and looked at Draco. He gave a smirk and said,"Hope your ready for your first wandless magic lesson."

Draco narrowed his eyes and muttered,"Wandless magic? I haven't even learned to control my magic yet."

Harry grinned and explained. "The Blackbloods use wandless magic. Only the magic isn't really isn't controlled."

Draco raised an hand and looked at Harry seriously. "Okay, at first this sounded like fun, but now I'm confused. Magic not being controlled. How is that possible? It is one of the main reasons that many children go to Hogwarts in the first place."

"Sadly, I don't have time to explain. Maybe another time." Harry leaned forward and whispered,"If we end up in the same house that will give us the time for me to tell you what I mean."

The blonde could only blink as Harry's scent entered his nose. He had not gotten that close to the Boy-Who-Lived and he smelled nice. Like the mint tea that Father had sometimes when he had a bad headache. Silver eyes met glowing green eyes, that bore into his soul. "Are you willing to learn? It will be a quick lesson, and I'm sure that you have the potential for it. After all Bella asked you to help."

The Malfoy heir blinked again and gave a sneer. "Of course, Potter. I was born with the potential after all."

Harry only let out a breathy chuckle. He looked at Narcissa and said," Madam, I hope you are okay with this. After all this is your son."

Narcissa slide her eyes to Draco, who gave his mother a pleading look, and went back to Harry. The dark haired boy was watching her with unreadable green eyes. She had a feeling that the boy wouldn't let anything happen to her son, the way he moved around him was sort of protective for someone who just met.

She gave a nod and said,"Purebloods once were well trained in wild magic. It will be good for him to learn."

Hince the Blood in Pureblood, Harry thought, his eyes glowing with a knowing look. He turned to Draco and ordered," Close your eyes."

Silver eyes looked at Harry, and they quickly closed. Harry began to rock on his heels. He talked slowly, with eyes locked on Draco. "The thing about magic is that witches and wizards can feel it. You can feel wards, when you walk near them, you can feel the magic of a powerful wizard, but what you are feeling is my magic."

Draco listened, and gave a curt nod. Harry continued. "I want you to clear your mind. When, your mind is clear think about something that feels like magic to you. Then, your magic core will be open to you."

Jerry grinned and whispered,"Such a simple thing to do. Except everyone now days can only think about other things besides their magic."

Draco, however, didn't hear this. He had cleared his mind of all thoughts. He then thought of something that made him think of magic. He quickly thought of the memory when he had done some accidental magic. He had set the table on fire, when his father had told him he wasn't acting like a proper Malfoy over something, he had felt powerful and smug. He had also felt curious and thoughtful.

With those feelings in his mind, light burst behind his eyelids. Suddenly, Draco found himself in room. It was his room from the manor. He looked around and spotted something. A ball of glowing silver was glowing. White was twirling around in the silver. Harry's voice echoed through the room.

What you'll see in front of you is your magic, Draco. I just want you to touch it, but do not touch it long. Only for a second so your eyes can see what is hidden from many others, if you do not let go you will...

"Go mad holding on to pure power," said Harry's voice, no longer just an echo. Draco whirled around, and saw that Harry was looking at him with knowing eyes. The blond blinked multiple times, and opened his mouth to speak.

The Potter heir beat him to it. "You shouldn't be so shocked, Draco. I have practiced this multiple times, it can be used as a weapon for many. I'm just here to make sure that you don't hold on to your core longer then what is good for you."

The Malfoy heir suddenly felt a little wounded for some odd reason. His idol didn't think that he could control himself from being sucked into his own soul. Harry seemed to have felt his wounded pride, and quickly stated,"Don't be offened. When I first connected with my core, I had almost gone madder than the Hatter. I was out of commision for many days after that. It was very painful, and I am glad that it is done and over with. I, however, don't wish to see you like that. Your mother put your life in my hands, and I refuse to let a mother lose a son."

Fear suddenly covered Draco. Is that what would happen to him? Would he not want to let go of his magical core, and go nutters? Even more then his aunt Bellatrix. Silver eyes looked at Harry in hidden fear, however those emerald eyes watched him calmly. Giving a worthy Slytherin smirk Harry walked forward and put a hand on Draco's shoulders.

"Your fears are not needed. Why do you think I came along for the ride? I will make sure nothing harms you."

Draco nodded and looked to his core.

Narcissa watched as Draco and Harry's bodies went lax, and they leaned against each other holding each other up unconsiously. She then turned her stormy gray eyes to look at Bella Blackblood. She nodded toward the raven haired boy and said,"This is something quite unexpected."

Two different coloured eyes zoomed in on the Lady Malfoy. Bella gave a smirk and said,"It is isn't it. Can you imagine what would happen if this got out. Harry Potter raised by the criminals the Blackbloods."

"Not a good place to raise children."

The Alpha looked around at her pack. They had all wondered off somewhere in the store. Probably listening to the tales that Olivander liked to tell about the adventures he went on to get certain cores and woods for wands. They would come in a second if Harry or Bella called for them. Knowing this Bella set her gaze back to Narcissa.

"I know," she agreed, her voice low. "However, if you had seen him when I first came across him you would have taken him in too, no matter what Lucius told you." Bella walked forward and brushed her hand against Harry's hair.

"He had been abused by his caretakers, and they beat him. He had been starved and he had been beaten, probably to a inch of his life multiple times. I don't even want to think about the mental abuse that he suffered."

Narcissa gasped and a hand came to cover her mouth. Bella looked up and nodded. "My reaction was exactly the same. Of course, Harry here has never told me the full extent of his abuse, I can only hope that it is not as bad as I can think it is."

Bella sighed and looked away. "The pack does not know much about raising a child. Harry here is something that we have nevered faced before. However, we have done the best we could. We probably changed the strings of faith entirely taking this child in, but I can never regret it. The only thing I can regret is that he will never have a normal childhood, and he will never experince the touch of a loving parent."

She then glanced at Narcissa at the edge of her eye. "If it brings you any more comfort, I am glad to say that you have no reason to worry about Draco. Harry is a very patcient young boy. He will grow up to be something that will make the whole world tremble."

Narcissa looked at the Boy-Who-Lived, and whispered,"There is more then what you are telling me right now."

Bella nodded and said,"There is and that will come at a later date. Right now I have to know if you will keep the boy's living arrangements a secret. That means making sure that husband of yours keeps his trap shut. I won't risk Harbear's life just for the fact that someone wants to spread the gossip that they know where their savior has been."

Narcissa sighed and looked away. "I know that you and Lucius have never really got along, but I think that he wouldn't let a boy who has been abused experince something that he does not want to."

The Alpha didn't say anything. "Are you free to have a chat tomorrow, both you and your husband. I'll bring Harry over to the manor. Him and Draco can play for a little bit if that makes it any better."

Narcissa wasn't expecting that, but quickly hide it. She nodded and said,"Of course, and Draco would be delighted. I can tell he already thinks of Mister Potter as a friend. Which I think that Mister Potter thinks the same about my son."

Bella chuckled and was about to reply when she stiffened. She looked down at Draco and grinned. "He's about to unleash a little of that hidden power."

Harry released Draco's shoulder and nodded toward the orb. "Go ahead and touch it. Your magic already knows what to do, it is just waiting on you."

The blond slowly looked behind him at the little ball. He swallowed and looked at Harry. The ravened haired male gave a soft grin and lifted his hand, palm upwards. "Do you trust me? True that we have not known each other for a full hour, but somethings you just know. I know that I can trust you, Draco, the question is will you put that trust in me."

The blond only stared at Harry for a second. Those green eyes watched him looking over him with confidence. The Malfoy heir knew right then, that Harry Potter was nothing like he expected him to be. Feeling determined and comforted that Harry would be there for him, Draco turned and walked to the ball of magic. He reached out a hand and let out a gulp.

Harry brushed past him and whispered,"You have nothing to fear. Your magic is quite tame, and fond of you. Normally, that ball of magic would have exploded into something almost like a tornado. The magic is you, Draco. Just unleash a little bit of it."

Draco nodded and slowly landed his hand on that ball of silver. Everything changed faster then lightening would strike. The library disappeared and Draco saw twirls and swirls of magic, circling him embracing him, growing familiar of him. It was warm, and felt like coming home. Closing his eyes, Draco enjoyed the feeling until pain shot through him. Opening his eyes back up, he looked around for something that caused him the pain. Nothing was touching him, Harry was no longer beside him.

Quickly thinking, Draco came to the conlusion that the magic was going through his body and burning him to the inside out. Draco opened his mouth and began shouting in pain and calling for Harry.

Narcissa moved quickly to her son, as soon as he began to yell. Bella stopped her though. She gave the concerned mother a grin and said,"Don't worry. Harbear won't let this go on much longer."

The mother only stared at the Blackblood in shock and looked down at her screaming son.

Draco was trying so hard to let go of his core, but it seemed weilded to it. He yanked and yanked, but his efforts were in vain. Suddenly, he saw something. It was different swirls of magic. It wasn't silver and white like his, but green and black. Harry was suddenly beside him, looking at him with strange eyes.

The young male gave a wicked grin and reached out to grab Draco's hand. "I think that is enough for today. You got what you needed from your core."

With this, Harry put his fingers in between Draco's and gripped his hand hard. Giving a soft grin, the raven haired male pulled the blonde's hand toward him. Draco had quit screaming and was only watching the other male work. Once, his magical core was released everything turned back to the way it was. He leaned heavidly on Harry and muttered,"It just goes back to how it was?"

Harry nodded and eyed the silver ball. "For now. Once, when Purebloods still worked with their core of magic, they would think of a safe place for the core. Hiding it inside them somewhere they could only reach it. When they needed the magic, they would open their secret hiding place and grab some magic to do the trick. Other then that they were the average witch or wizard. The Blackbloods, or any Blood, bonds with their magic. Giving them this unlimited power of a kind.

There is some other things, but the Blackbloods won't tell me. Probably because they want to wait until I'm ready to make that next step."

Harry looked at the tired blonde and whispered,"You did well, Draco. A lot better then I did when I first tried."

Draco slowly lifted himself of Harry and gave the boy a soft apology. Harry straightened up and muttered,"You need a change of scenery."

The Malfoy heir looked up at Harry and was about to ask what he meant when slowly everything around him began to change. The library seemed to melt, turning midnight black in colour. Draco watched in awe, as everything turned black, and the stone hard ground beneath him turned into grass. The ceiling morphed into a night sky with stars glittering above. Green light caught his eyes, and Draco looked down to see a pond glowing a strange green.

"My core," Harry said. The dark haired male walked forward and looked at the pond. "If I want to get in touch with it I have to walk into the magic. It is a lot more dangerous then touching the orb like you did. Everyone's magic is different, but it is a dangerous thing to mess with all the same."

"It is beautiful here," Draco muttered, looking around.

Harry nodded and said,"Bella told me that the place where our magic lies is connected to us. She told me that it reminds you of a safe place that you have. For you it is in the library, among books and the smell of ink. I am confused about this one. For the simple fact that I have never been to a place like this before."

They stood in silence and looked back to Draco. "Your mother is worried. We must leave this place."

Draco blinked in shock, and was about to tell the other that he didn't want to leave, but by the time he opened his eyes he found himself in Olivander's Shop. Harry was standing beside him looking at Bella Blackblood. Draco looked at his mother and gave a weak grin.

Narcissa marched to her child and wrapped him in a hug. She slowly released him and looked at Harry. "He sounded like he was in pain, Mister Potter."

"My apologies," Harry said, bowing to the Lady. "It was nesscary though. His magic had to run it's way through his body. It is painful, but a quick process. He will not have to go through it again, for his body and magic now recongize each other."

Olivander stepped forward, out of nowhere and said,"I need to open my shop soon. If Mister Malfoy would like to find Mister Potter's wand it would be wonderful. If not it is fine he has been through a lot."

Draco quickly scurried away from his mother and walked to Harry. "You helped me find my wand, I'll help you find yours."

"I appericate it," Harry muttered, his eyes glowing with amusement. Harry leaned close and whispered,"You have a little bit of wild magic running through your veins now. Not just your normal magic. This magic is straight from the core. That means it is a little bit more powerful."

Draco nodded listening intently. Harry gave a smirk and continued. "You need to reach inside your self and grab on to a strand of wild magic. It will open your eyes to the beauty around you. You will see everyone's aura and you will find a wand core that matches my aura."

Nodding the blonde closed his eyes and tried to feel the magic inside him. Thinking about the warmth and familar feeling that the core magic had made him feel, Draco dug deep into his concious. It kinda reminded him of his Occlumency lessons with Severus.

Suddenly, in the darkness he found a ribbon of silver and white floating beside him. Thinking about it mentally, Draco grabbed the magic, but felt nothing happen. Sighing, Draco opened his eyes to tell Harry that nothing worked. He let out a gasp at what he saw. Harry stood in front of him surrounded by green and black magic. Silver eyes looked at Narcissa and saw that she was surrounded by a solid purple. Olivander was a sickly green and vibrant red. Bella Blackblood stood before her with a swirl of black, red, purple, and silver.

She gave a grin and said,"Look at you. Doing something that not even that proud papa of your's knows."

Harry reached out and whispered,"Now look around the boxes. They are filled with wands everywhere. One of these things will match my magic, just search for it."

Draco nodded and looked around the shop. It was a whirlwind of colours, and he was overwhelmed. Draco looked over Harry's magic and nodded slowly. It was a vibrant green with black whirling in it. The young Malfoy heir went off with a mission in mind.

Harry watched him with curious eyes. It took about ten minutes of waiting but finally, Draco let out a whoop and the blonde came running toward Harry with a wand. Draco handed Harry the wand. Harry eyed it for a second and grabbed it. He gasped as a feeling of warmth washed over him. Harry closed his eyes and swished the wand. He didn't see the colourful sparks come out of his wand and smiled at the gasps and awes.

Olivander came forward and grabbed the wand. "11 inches, holly, phoenix feather core. A powerful wand for a powerful wizard. It is strange though."

"What's strange," Harry asked, tensing. Olivander looked at him sadly and whispered,"Because, normally I never use the same core from the same animal. However, the phoenix that gave me the feather for your wand made another, just one other. I'm sad to say that that wand, the brother of yours, gave you that scar. If I had known what that wand would have been used for I would have never sold it, but the past is the past. I can only hope that you use this wand a lot better then the way its brother was used."

Olivander handed Harry the wand, and muttered that the wand would be free. He then wondered off, muttering under his breath. Bella watched him go, stiffening. She turned to look at Harry, who was looking at his wand with curiosity. She scowled and glared at the wand her mind whirling. The Blackblood Alpha quickly shook off the expression. The Alpha didn't want to make Harry upset on his special day, after all.

Grinning, she shouted," HARBEAR'S GOT HIS WAND!"

The pack barreled into the room. They rushed Harry giving him hugs, and loving on the dark haired male. Harry smiled and let them hug him for a little bit, but he quickly wiggled out of their grasp and walked toward Draco.

Giving the boy an affectionate nudge, Harry said,"Thank you."

Draco didn't answer though. He only stared at the Blackbloods with an awe expression. Harry winced as he suddenly realised that Draco could still see auras. He leaned in close and grasp Draco's shoulder. He leaned in close and began to whisper instructions. "I know you can still hear me so listen. I need you to go back into your mind and let go of that ribbon of magic. As soon as it is realeased I want you to think of a place where it will be safe and locked up. I also want it to be a place where you and only you can go into, do you understand Draco."

The blonde didn't do anything, but after a couple of minutes the blonde looked at Harry with wide eyes. The dark haired boy winked and looked at the Blackbloods. His face sombered up and he muttered,"I guess that you are going back home."

Bella nodded and said,"We have to. If we got spotted with you, Harbear, we would get in trouble with Dumbledore. If we get on his bad side to much he might take you away from us, he has too much power in the Ministry. "

Harry sighed and looked at Olivander. "How much does it cost, sir?"

The elder wizard waved his hand in Harry's direction and said,"The pack helps me enough with everything. I don't think it is in my right to make you pay for that wand."

With this he glided to the back of the shop, muttering about something a new wand he had to craft. Harry looked back to the pack. They each were looking at their youngest memeber. Bella smirked and made a gestured to her wrist. "It's almost time for you to return home. Go meet up with Hagrid, he must be worried about you now."

Gracie walked up and gave Harry a hug. "I'll see you later, Harbear."

The pack nodded and gave their goodbyes, hugging the young boy. Even Ben came up and gave his black hair a pat. Harry watched them walk off to the back of the shop. Green eyes looked at Narcissa and Draco. They had stayed silent as the family had said goodbye.

Harry gave them a smirk and bowed. "I must say that it was enjoyable to meet you both. Draco, I'll see you again at Hogwarts. Lady Malfoy I hope that I will have the privlage of meeting you again soon."

Draco scoffed and walked toward him. He laid a hand on the dark haired boy's shoulder and announced,"You act like we won't talk to each other at all."

"You will be in Slytherin, and I will follow what is expected of me," Harry said, his eyes glowing in confusion. "I will be in Gryffindor."

"That is an idiotic thought," Draco declared, his silver eyes glowing with amusement. "I might have only known you for a few hours, but you are as Slytherin as anything. You getting in any other house is nothing but a fluke."

Harry chuckled and looked at the other. He nudged him and said,"Well, if you think so."

Harry looked deep into silver eyes and gave a mysterious grin. He then nodded and ran out of the shop. Draco's eyes widened and he raised a hand to grab the other boy, but he was too late. Harry Potter was gone.

Harry walked through the crowds of witches and wizards. He looked around hoping to catch a glimpse of the giant man. He looked around, and was about to sigh. He really didn't want to go to that bank. From what Bella had told him, goblins were intense.

Suddenly, a voice shouted his name. " 'Arry!"

The raven haired boy looked around and found Hagrid walking toward him with a proud expression on his face. In his arms were Harry's school supplies, and also a cage that had a snowy owl in it, who was looking at the boy with curious eyes.

Harry met them halfway and grinned at Hagrid. "Sorry, Hagrid. I decided to get my wand before we met back up."

"It's alright," muttered Hagrid, grinning sheepishly. "I took a pretty long time, meself."

The giant man looked down at the owl and handed the cage to the boy. "I got you a birthday present, by the way. Late I know, but still. Everyone needs a good owl with them, ya know."

Harry grasped the cage and looked up at man with soft eyes. "Thank you, Hagrid."

The giant man grinned and said,"We got everything on the list. How about we get some food?

Harry was laying on his bed, reading a the Hogwarts: A History. The snowy owl was sitting on the sit of the bed. Harry looked at it and grinned. "I think I found a name for you."

The owl only looked at Harry with a curious hoot. "I'll call you Hedwig. Sounds good for you, huh?"

The owl hooted and flapped over to Harry. She nipped his ears, and closed her eyes in content. Harry chuckled and then thought of something. "I know that I just got you, but would you mind sending a letter for me?"

Hedwig opened her eyes and let out a excited hoot. She flapped over to the window of the room, and waited on Harry. Grinning, Harry got out some parchment and quickly wrote a letter.

Draco was talking to Pansy and Blaise. They were located out in the gardens. Draco's two friends were listening intently to their friend tell them about how he met the mysterious Harry Potter.

Blaise scoffed and said,"I bet he was all snooty and stuff. After all he grew up knowing that he saved the wizarding world. I bet he walked through Diagon Alley waiting for people to get his school supplies for him."

Draco scowled and snapped,"Actually he is not like that at all. He is quiet and cunning. He only used his name to introduce himself. He tried to keep to the shadows, which he exceeded in. He also seem to know a lot of things. His eyes see everything I'm convinced in that.

Suddenly, a low hoot caught Draco's ears. He looked up and in a tree was a snowy owl. The beautiful bird fluttered down to land on Draco's shoulder. The blonde blinked and watched as the owl gracefully lifted a leg, with a letter attached. Reaching out, Draco grabbed the letter and looked at who it was sent to.

All it said was To Draco.

Blinking, Draco quickly opened it and looked at the content. He quickly smiled and looked at his friends.

He read the content of the letter outloud.

I hope this letter reaches you quickly, Draco. This lovely creature that sent you my letter is named Hedwig. I hope that you let her take a rest at your home for a little bit. She worked well. I decided to send you this letter to simply ask if you wanted to chat for what time we have remaining over the summer. Though I'm certain we will meet each other again before it is over with. Bella came up to me with a mad grin on her face and asked what I thought of playdates. I don't mind the idea, especially if I get to know a little bit more about you.

Harry Potter

Draco looked at his friends and stated,"I have decided to ditch you for the rest of the weekend. After all I have got company coming over."

With this, Draco turned and ran back to the manor, slowing down when Hedwig let out a disapproving hoot. He justed hoped that Mother agreed to let Harry come over for the weekend, she just had too.
