That night's dreams -
Harry finds himself flying in the sky. He lands on a cloud.
"Harry, my heir, it is time. I am the first of six to release your wizard powers." spoke a phantom voice.
Harry starts to turn in a circle when he sees a male form walking towards him through the mist of the clouds. He raises his wand, a curse on his lips, when he recognizes the voice.
"M M M Merlin, is that you," he stutters.
"Yes, it is I," he answers with a laugh.
Harry rushes through the clouds and hugs the older wizards. Merlin holds the young man for a few minutes. They step away from each other and gaze into each others eyes.
"I am going to place my hands on your head and release the block on the knowledge I left, then I will place my hands on your chest and release the block I put on your magic. Like I said before each of us put a block on the magic we left you, now lay down and I will start."
Harry lies down and closes his eyes, as Merlin places a hand on each side of Harry's temples. Merlin starts to chant in an ancient language and a bright white glow surrounds the two. The glow is bright enough that Harry can see it through his closed eyes. As the glow starts to fade Harry knows things he never knew before that only Merlin could have taught him.
Merlin places his hands over Harry's heart and starts chanting again, but this time Harry understands what he is saying. He sees a soft white glow surround them and then it starts.
It started out as a slight burning and itching all over his body but steadily grew. Now a few minutes after it started Harry feels as if he is being tortured with a few dozen Crucios. The pain was intense, like hot knives slicing and stabbing all over his body. He screamed and screamed as the pain felt as if it was intensifying, when suddenly the pain disappeared and he was left breathing hard on the soft cloud. He sighs and feels his body shake and tremble from the pain.
"I am sorry that you had to feel that, but it was the only way."
Harry just shakes his head.
"I will now tell you of the powers and knowledge you got from me. Shapeshifting, ancient white magic, Ancient Runes, Arithmancy, telepathy, staff fighting, wandless magic, but you also get that from the other five, every human language(written or spoken)and the control of lightning. We will start practicing tomorrow night because it is time for you to awake young heir."
Suddenly Harry finds himself slowly becoming aware of the sounds around his room. He could hear the occupants of the portrait across the room talking. He waves his hand and checks the time. He sees that it is only 5 a.m. and decides to workout then shower. He runs on the treadmill for half an hour then lifts weights 'til 6:30. He takes a shower and changes his appearance to that of Harry Potter -the boy-who-lived. He gets dressed and grabs his bag. He tells his parents and the others goodbye and sits in the common room for the others.
The other three teens stumble out of their rooms five minutes later. Sirius and Remus waltz out of their rooms glowing. They see the four teens laughing on the couches and start to blush. The group makes their way to the Great Hall and to their table. Remus sits with the teens while Sirius sits at the head table. Everyone looks at the table expecting to see the king but they don't.
Albus stands as the four Heads of Houses are standing to give out timetables. They all sit down and the hall quiets down.
"First, I noticed that most everyone was looking for Lorgin Krue this morning. I am sorry to say that he will only be able to join us every evening for dinner. His veela powers are too new and the meditation it takes to keep them under control, takes almost five to six hours a day."
He pauses to let the news sink in and everyone looks at Draco since they know he is of Veela blood. He shrugs his shoulders and continues eating.
"Next, the talent show will have tryouts in three weeks. The actual contest will be during the Masquerade Ball on Halloween. The contest is only open to fifth thru seventh years. Anyone that wants to enter should tell his or her Head of house or me by next Monday. The winner will perform at the Yule Ball and will receive a plaque."
He pauses again with a twinkle in his eyes as the teens and children either complain or cheer about it. He raises his hand and the room silences.
"Starting Wednesday, a few teachers and I are going to be taking groups of students to Diagon Alley and Muggle London to buy some clothes. Every Friday is going to be casual Friday. What that means is on Friday, just like Saturday and Sunday you can wear anything you want to a degree. There is a dress code, which will be explained to each group as before they leave. Your Head of House will take a list of who wants to go and you will need to get in touch with your parents to get some money. I would also like to say that core classes for sixth and seventh years are now double classes, and a few of the other classes are double. Thank you."
As students received their schedules they didn't forget to mention if they wanted to go shopping or if they wanted to enter the talent show. Harry and his group were the last to get their schedules. Harry looks up at Professor McGonagall and says, "my whole group wants to go shopping and I would like..." He leans up and whispers in her ear.
She nods her head and writes their names down. Harry turns to Remus and whispers in his ear. Remus nods and Harry gets up and goes to talk to Dumbledore. Harry returns to the table to look at his schedule.

No scheduled classes - see Headmaster
Harry looks at his schedule shocked. Hermione looks at his schedule and gasps. She couldn't believe that Harry didn't have that many classes. She was taking the same classes as him and she still had an extra class each day and only a half-day on Fridays.
"Harry, why don't you have that many classes?"
"Are you forgetting that I'm the King of the Veelas. I'm going to have to have time to do other things and people to see."
She nods her head and leans toward Harry when he motions her closer. He leans in to whisper in her ear.
"Hermione, will you tell Ron that tonight after dinner, a round 7:00 I need to meet with you all in our common room. I've got something to tell you. I'll tell Draco, and then I have to go talk to Dumbledore and McGonagall."
Hermione turns and speaks to Ron while Harry whispers in Draco's ear. He heads up to the Head Table and before he makes it a foot away, Severus stands up at the other end of the table and leaves the Great Hall. Harry looks at him as does every other person. Harry makes his way over to Professor McGonagall.
"I am coming to tell you that I will be a little late for class. I've got to make some firecalls."
"That's alright; we're just going to go over what was done last year." She replies.
He nods and leans over to the headmaster and whispers in his ear. The twinkle in the headmaster's eyes seems to grow brighter by the second. You can see him nodding his head vigorously to whatever Harry is saying, this has many a student and teacher wondering exactly what is being said, when suddenly the headmaster throws his head back and laughs. It was a laugh of pure joy and lightened the hearts of many.
Harry makes his way back to his seat, thinking of the conversation he just had with Dumbledore. He knew that everyone thought he was the only one talking but not everyone knows that Dumbledore is telepathic.
Conversation with Dumbledore
"Sir, I was wondering if I could use your floo to fire call the Weasleys." Harry asked.
'Yes, but can I ask why?'
"I was going to ask their permission to give Ron and Ginny some money to buy Muggle clothing. I was going to give them some money for their birthdays anyway so why not just give them enough to buy some clothing."
'How much are you talking about Harry?'
"I was thing of 1000 galleons. Do you think that is too much? I know that the conversion is five to one."
'Sly Harry, so you would be giving them 5000 in Muggle money, very Slytherin.'
"Well, he is one of my ancestors, Albus. I also wanted to tell you that Severus is my mate, and that is why he keeps avoiding me. I'm afraid I may have to initiate the xandu."
'What is the xandu?'
"It is the term used for courting. I will send him notes and little gifts to show that I care, but the notes will talk aloud like a howler."
It was at this point Dumbledore burst out laughing.
end thoughts
Harry sits down and notices all eyes are on him and the headmaster. He shrugs his shoulders and starts to eat his breakfast. He watches and listens as Ginny comes over to talk to Ron.
"Ron, which of us should owl mum and dad?"
"I will. I'll owl them before dinner. Don't worry about a thing."
Ginny nods her head and goes back to finish breakfast. Harry smirks at what he hears. He stands and tells everyone he'll see them in class. He makes his way out of the hall and towards the headmaster's office. As he nears the gargoyle it flaps it's wings and sighs. He places his hand on its head and it starts to purr. He smiles and it moves out of his way. Harry is getting ready to start up the stairs when a voice calls out.
"Harry, I've never seen the gargoyle do that before."
"I know headmaster, but you seem to forget I'm the heir of the founders and Hogwarts herself has taken a liking to me." Harry replies with a laugh in his voice.
They walk up the stairs and into the office. Harry heads straight for the fireplace. He throws a pinch of powder into the fire and calls for Molly Weasley.
Molly hears Harry's voice in the living room and walks in to see Harry's face in her fireplace.
"Is there something that matter, Harry dear?" she asks.
"No ma'am. I was wondering if I could talk to you and Mr. Weasley.
"Alright Harry dear, I'll get Arthur and we'll meet you in Albus' office in a few minutes." she replied.
Harry pulls his head out of the fireplace and walks over to talk to Fawkes. Albus' motions for the two Weasley parents to be quiet as they watch and listen.
Fawkes, will I have a burning day and how could you tell by the color of my wing tips if I was the Phoenix Lord or the Lord of the Light?
Yes, you will have a burning day it should be every six months, which will be on your birthday and six months later. I knew you were both because the Phoenix Lord has all red tips and the Lord of the Light has all gold tips and since there was noone of either and yours were mixed that automatically tells me you are both.
Thank you Fawkes, for telling me. I start my training tonight for my powers from the founders, Merlin, and Morgana. I'll come and talk to you again soon. I can tell the others are watching us.
Harry turns to see the three adults watching him with amazement. He smiles and sits in the empty chair between the two Weasley parents. He clears his throat before he speaks.
"I'm sure the Headmaster has told you and the Order about casual Fridays. I was wondering if I could gift some money to Ron and Ginny?" he asks.
He holds his hand up to stop their protests before they can utter a sound.
"I know that you don't accept charity. This would be their birthday gifts from me." he states.
He watches as the two communicate silently over his head. They finally agree. Harry stands to leave when Dumbledore stops him.
"Harry, there is an Order meeting tonight. I need for Lorgin Krue to be here in my office at 8 o'clock." he says.
Harry nods his head and waves to the three adults. He makes his way to class.
Nothing eventful happens for the rest of the day. Harry calls for Sueilla and he changes into his Veela form and goes to dinner. Harry talks and laughs with everyone at his table, which consits of Draco, Ron, Hermione, Sirius, and Remus. Harry leaves the Great Hall at 6:00 to shower and get ready to meet the others in their common room. He is just leaving his bedroom as the others are walking into the common room. They all gasp when they see him. He stands before them in a set of black dress robes. The sleeves and trim around the outside of the robe is a combination of red, green, blue and yellow intertwined together. He motions for them to sit down.
"Starting tomorrow night I will tell each of you and only you who your soulmate is. I can't start tonight because I have to attend a meeting with the headmaster. I'll tell Draco, then Hermione, and finally Ron. Do you three have any questions about how I will do this" states Harry.
"How will you be telling us who are soulmate is?" asks Hermione.
Harry goes on to explain about seeing people's life force. He leaves shortly after that to go to the order meeting. Harry walks into the headmaster's office and greets the headmaster. They walk towards the bookcase behind the desk and the headmaster pulls a book and the case moves to the side. He motions for Harry to follow him. They walk down a set of stairs similar to the ones leading to his office. The stairs lead to a room almost as large as the Great Hall. There is a huge table in the middle of the room with about fifty chairs around it. As they enter the twenty people grow quiet and stand. Albus nods and motions for Harry to sit between him and Severus. Severus makes a move to stand but Albus glares at him. Fleur walks towards him and curtsies.
"I see you have come into your inheritance. I am pleased to see that you with such honor and humanity are our king. I will serve you for the rest of my life, Harry Potter." she whispers into his ear. She smiles as she watches his widen in astonishment.
'Yes, I know your true identity. I am a gifted seer and saw that you are the king.' she thinks as walking back to her seat. Harry nods his head and looks around the room. Nodding and waving at those he knows.
Harry's eyes start to glaze over as he smells the intoxicating scent of vanilla and cinnamon wafting from Severus. He starts to lean in closer towards Severus till a disgusted grunting sound is made and everyone stops to see the look of pure disgust on Severus' face. Harry comes out of his trance to see the look of regret and anger on Sirius, Remus, and Minerva's faces. He turns back to the headmaster and listens as members give their reports on things that have been happening.
Finally Albus stands and motions for Harry to stand. Albus clears his throat.
"I would like to introduce everyone to the King of the Veelas, Lorgin Krue. He is going by that name till after the war. He cannot afford to let Voldemort learn his true identity. He went into a trance last night and said the following in front of the entire Great Hall."
Albus pulls out a pensive and shows the whole thing to the group. There are gasps heard around the room and people start shouting the question "Who is the Phoenix Lord and the Lord of Light?" Albus holds up his hands to quiet the room and turns to Harry.
"Can you tell us who they are?" he asks.
"I can't at this moment. I know but their power hasn't fully awakened, to say now would put them in danger" he replies.
"What do you mean by that? You can't just keep that information to yourself." Shouts Moody.
"It is not time for people to know, that information will be told when the time is right not before." he replies, and with that said he bows to the headmaster and leaves. The order members sit there in stunned silence.
"Fawkes told me the same thing. He said they became aware of who they were just recently and that all of their powers haven't awakened yet. He wouldn't tell me anything else. On that note I call this meeting to a close." stated Albus. Albus leaves as the others are portkeying away.
Harry makes his way to his bedroom and gets ready for bed. That night when Merlin came to him they start his training.
Dream
Harry finds himself on the clouds the same as last time. He hears Merlin start talking thru the clouds.
"Tonight we will be working on Arithimacy, Ancient Runes, and language. It will sort of be like quizzes, says Merlin.
They work the whole time and Merlin is pleased that Harry has done so well.
"We won't be working on shapeshifting, telepathy, or wandless magic. One of the others will work with you on that. I am pleased with how well you did. I will see you tomorrow night. Goodbye, young Harry."
end of Dream
Tuesday:
Harry wakes up at five in the morning. He goes to his training room and works out till 6:30, then he showers, get dressed and leaves for the Great Hall. He meets Hermione and Draco in their common room and they join him on his way to breakfast. Ron meets them down there five minutes later.
"Hey Harry, who is the Quidditch captain?" asks Ron.
"I'm not sure let me ask Dumbledore," he replies.
'Albus, who are the captains for Quidditch. Ron was asking me.'
Albus stands and the Hall goes quiet. "I know that many of you have been wondering about Quidditch. It is cancelled this year." There is uproar of disapproval and disappointment. Albus raises his hands for silence. "We will not be having Quidditch because there is going to be an interhouse tournament. There will be one event each month starting in January. In December each house is going to have a tournament to find the members for their teams. Details will be given at a later date, now finish breakfast your first class starts soon." and after saying that Albus sits and starts to eat once again.
The students start to talk about the tournament.
Harry finds that in each class the students whisper about the tournament. He realizes on his way to change for dinner that he has enjoyed the day. He calls for Sueilla and changes into his amethyst casual robes. He grabs Koi and goes to dinner. There he talks to Koi, after dinner he makes his way back to the common room to wait for Draco. Everyone arrives at the same time and Harry motions for Draco to follow him.
They enter Slytherin's bedroom and Harry motions for Draco to lead him to the bed. They sit down and Harry goes into a meditative state. He sees Draco's life aura is a light green and follows it to his soul mate. As he draws closer to the other person he finds that the color red is start to intermingle with the green. The green fades into the red and the person that the aura was attached to really shocked Harry. He flew back to his body and awoke from the trance.
"Draco, when did you turn 16?" asks Harry.
"I turned 16 in June," he replied.
"What would you say if I told you that your soul mate is none other than Ginny Weasley?" asks Harry.
"I would say your lying. My mate smells like oranges and mint." he shouts.
Harry motions for Draco to follow him and they leave the bedroom and the common room. They walk to the library and find Ginny sitting with her friends. Draco starts to sniff the air and his eyes glaze over. Harry motions for Ginny to walk over. She complies and Draco notices that the scent grow as she gets closer.
Ginny watches as Draco's eyes get this glazed look about them and becomes worried. 'What if they have figured out I have a crush on Malfoy. Oh God, Harry will kill me for liking his worst enemy.' she thought.
Harry leans down as if to whisper something in Draco's ear.
'I will allow you to start the courtship. Don't forget you will have to talk to both of your parents, would you like me to be there? Also you may not show her to the rooms just yet.'
'Yes, if it's not too much trouble. I will let you know the date. Thank you for showing me, my liege.' Draco thought back.
Harry nods his head and leans down to whisper in Ginny's ear.
"He is your soulmate. I will not allow him to show you his room yet. I have known for awhile that you have liked him, just as he has liked you." He glances at her before he leaves to go back to his room. She looks up at him shocked.
Harry walks into the common room to find Hermione, Ron, Sirius, and Remus waiting for him. He sits and looks at the expectant looks on their faces.
"Well who is Malfoy's soulmate?" asks Hermione.
The others just nod their heads in agreement. They all looked at him with expectant faces. He laughs and shrugs his shoulders. He starts to his bedroom and calls over his shoulder, "it's up to Draco and his soulmate to tell you not me. Hermione meet me here tomorrow night and I'll let you know who your mate is."
Harry gets ready for bed and gets ready to dream.
This is the dream...
Harry is standing a few feet in front of Merlin.
"Today, young heir, we will be working on staff fighting."
Harry nods his head and a plain wooden staff appears before him. He grabs the staff and Merlin attacks. Merlin teaches offensive and defensive moves.
"For the rest of the week we will be working on control of lighning. I will see you tomorrow night." Merlin whispers as Harry wakes up.
End of dream start of Wednesday...
Harry does his morning routine and meets the other three students in their common room for breakfast. During classes for DADA and potions Harry helps the people he knows are the weakest in the class. After lunch Harry makes his way to the Hospital Wing. There he sees the only people in the class are him, Ginny, Neville, Susan Bones, and Blaise Zambini. Harry nodded at each person and watches as the Slytherin walks towards him.
"Hello Potter, where are you all staying. None of us can get Draco to tell us." she asks.
Harry smiles and turns around as Madame Pomphrey enters the room. The class turns out to be just as simple as Harry's other classes. At the end of class Madame Pomphrey tells them that after Christmas break the class will start on a rotation of working on the weekends to learn more about healing even though it won't be hands on till their next year. She asks for Harry to stay behind. He nods and stays seated when the bell rings.
"Harry, I know that you'll have a natural talent at healing because both of your parents did. Since there are only five in the class and you'll need to fine-tune your healing. I'm going to have you work hands on and instead of working just one day on your weekend, you'll work both." She tells him as she sits beside him.
"I understand." he replies and stands to leave. He gets outside the hospital wing and calls for Sueilla. He changes for dinner.
All thru dinner he feels eyes upon him. He looks up from his plate to see almost every girl and half of the guys making calf eyes at him. He turns to Draco.
"Why aren't they staring at you like this? You're also a veela." he whispers.
"Because, my parents blocked that Veela trait. You know that Veela give off a scent that makes others delirious with desire. Well, there are only two ways to stop it. One, your parents block or two, you find your mate and kiss. When you kiss your mate it stops the scent from driving others to distraction." He answers.
Harry's face goes white and he looks at Severus. Draco's gaze follows. He looks back at Harry to see the pain and sadness that linger in his eyes. Harry pushes from the table and calls for Sueilla to take him back to his rooms. Everyone is shocked when a white flame appears beside Harry. Suddenly a white phoneix is on his shoulder and the two disappear in a burst of white flames. The students start to panic and Dumbledore stands.
"QUIET!" he screams. Everyone stops and stares as the usually quiet spoken headmaster.
"That was Lorgin Krue's white phoenix. He called her to him, there is no reason to panic." he says while his eyes look at each person sitting at Harry's table. They nod their heads and get up to leave but not before glaring at Severus Snape.
They walk into their common room a few minutes later to hear a beautiful voice singing accompanied by a guitar. They stop outside of Harry's room and listen as he sings.
The five people standing outside the doorway have tears in their eyes as they make their way quietly to the couches. They can't believe the beautiful voice Harry has and the lyrics that Severus caused him to sing. Ron looks at the others and motions them closer.
"I think we should enter the talent contest." He whispers pointing at Hermione, Draco, and himself. "We'll have Harry sing, I'll play bass guitar. Does anyone else play?"
"I play drums," whispers Draco.
"I play keyboard," whispers Hermione.
"Harry can play guitar. Draco and myself will go and tell Professor Dumbledore, while Hermione is with Harry." Ron whispers.
They all agree and leave into separate directions. Sirius and Remus to their bedroom, Draco and Ron to talk to the headmaster and Hermione to get Harry. She knocks on the doorframe and Harry looks up from the book he has grabbed. He stands and follows her to her bedroom. He motions for her to sit across from him on the bed.
"Can you explain to me the difference between life and magic auras?" she asks.
"A magic aura lets someone know whether some one is going to be powerful or not. A magic aura can't tell if someone is dark or light."
"Why not?'
"A person is dark or light by their choices and souls. Life aura is used to let people know who their soulmates are. Not everyone has a soulmate. Your soulmate most likely has the life aura in your favorite color, sometime they don't."
"Can't you tell my what my magic aura is and what some of the colors mean?" she asks.
He focuses on the magic around her and sees that her magical aura is a blue mixed with a few strands of green.
"A magical aura is comprised of a base color and usually strands of another."
blue strong
red strong
yellow strong
green strong
white strong
pink average
violet average
orange average
gray weak
black weak
"There are more colors but I'm not sure what they are. Each different color just means you're a little bit stronger. You're aura is blue with a few strands of green which means that you are strong but not super strong. My aura is white with strands of every color going thru it. Now before I find your soulmate, you can not tell them where you are staying till I allow it."
She nods her head and Harry goes into a meditative state. He feels his astral form leave his body and looks to Hermione. He sees her life aura is a pretty periwinkle color. He follow the thick thread that leaves her to see it mixing with a deep plum color. He gets closer to the plum color and is almost knocked back into his body he is shocked at who it is. He flies back to his body and looks at Hermione. He wakes up.
"Hermione, what is your favorite color?" he asks.
"Deep plum" she replies.
"That is the color of your soulmates life aura. Ask them if their favorite color is periwinkle because that is the color of yours. Let me talk to Rose and we'll go and meet them."
He walks to the wall and places his hand on it.
'Rose, I need you to tell me where this person is' and he sends a mental picture to her.
'In the library' and she sends a picture back.
'Thank you' he replies back.
She just giggles as he takes his hands away from the wall.
"Who is Rose?" asks Hermione.
"Rose, is Hogwarts name." He replies. "Follow me."
They leave their common room and make their way to the library. They find it almost deserted their are maybe four people in their and three of them are first years. Harry leads Hermione towards the only sixth year there and says," Hermione this is Blaise Zambini. Blaise this is Hermione Granger. You two are soulmates."
"WHAT" the both scream.
"If you don't believe me ask Professor Flitwick to perform the mate spell on you." He states.
"I'm sorry to have screamed at you sire, but how do you know?" asks Blaise.
"I can see life auras when I meditate and saw that your two are connected." he replies.
"Oh, that's good enough for me." Blaise replies.
"What is your favorite color?" he asks.
"Periwinkle, why?" she says.
"Hermione's life aura is periwinkle and yours is her favorite color of deep plum." He replies and walks off.
He is walking to his room when Pansy, Crabbe, Goyle, Millicent, Dean, Seamus, Colin, and a few Hufflepuffs he doesn't know surround him.
"What do you want?" he growls.
"We want you," purrs Pansy as she rubs up against him.
'Sueilla, come and get me. There are about ten people surrounding me and they won't let me pass.'
'I'll be right there, Harry.' she replies
She appears in a flash of fire and they disappear in another flash. He thanks her and goes to bed.
Dream-------------------------------
Harry finds himself in the usual clouds and walks towards the clearing He walks to Merlin and hugs him.
"Tonight we are working on your control of lightning. Lightning and fire are the hardest elements to control, that is why we are working on it for so long."
Merlin show him how to pull forth the power and they start on control. Many hours later Harry has sweat pouring off of him and is panting, but Merlin looks pleased.
"Tomorrow should be the last night we need to work on it. You almost have it down perfectly. I guess after that we will work on the other things like wandless magic. It's time for you to wake up, be safe Harry."
Merlin hugs him and Harry wakes up.
End of dream start of Thursday--------
He spends only exercises for half of the usual time. He spreads his wings and exercises them. He them turns them invisible and cast a repellent charm on them. He showers and gets dressed meeting the others in the common room and they leave for breakfast.
"Harry, you were right. After you left we ran into Prof. Flitwick and he did the spell." Hermione says once they leave the common room.
"I know and yes they can sit with us." he replies.
"Harry, I have asked to speak with our parents Friday night is that alright. Will you be there?" asks Draco as they enter the Great Hall.
"Of course, just come and get me a few minutes before you are due to meet." he replies as he sits at their table. He watches as Hermione brings Blaise to the table and introduces her to everyone. Blaise quietly tells Harry to thank Lorgin Krue for her. He agrees and starts to eat.
Draco, when are you going to tell Ron about Ginny?
Tomorrow, after we talk to our parents. He replies.
Harry finishes his breakfast but doesn't get up. His classes for the day are in the Great Hall. He hugs Remus and Sirius before they leave and watches as all but him, Draco, Hermione, Ron, Blaise, Neville, Dean Thomas, and all of the sixth year Ravenclaws stay behind. Albus motions them to sit at the Ravenclaw table and starts class.
By lunchtime everyone was having such a good time they didn't want the class to end. The class was informative and fun. Harry's group made their way back to the table, while Neville and Dean went back to Gryffindor's.
As soon as lunch was over all of the students stood but no one left the room. Dumbledore waves his wand and the tables disappear and a duelling platform appears in the middle of the room with stands on each side. The students sit down and wait.
"Today is the first class for Duelling. When you come up to duel it will be in the same grade level and you are not allowed to do any magic above that level. No unforgivables or anything that can seriously harm your opponent. I want Harry Potter to come up here. He is going to duel me, Profs. McGonagall, Lupin, Black, and Snape. He will be the only student allowed to use above their grade and only when duelling us. This is just to show you what to do. Then we will start with first years and work our way up."
Harry, don't use anything that could serious hurt one of us. I now that you are a lot stronger than us, this is just for show.
Harry nods his head and looks at his five opponents. Snape is the only one who looked like he wants to run and that is only because he doesn't want to be around Harry. They bow to each other and the duel starts.
The teachers start throwing stunning spells at Harry. He throws various items onto the ground and starts transfiguring them into different items. He sends a lion to McGonagall, a phoenix towards Albus, two bucks go towards Black and Lupin, while Snape is left fighting just Harry.
Snape yells "Serpensortia" and a black python comes out of his wand. It starts toward Harry till it smells the fear coming off of a few of the students and turns to make it's way towards them.
Stop, and go no further towards the others. Come to me and I will send you home. Hisses Harry.
No, I am hungry. I think it will be nice to eat one of them that smell so sweet with fear. The snake replies.
Stop in the name of Medusa. I know that she is the mother to all snakes. She is also my mother. My ancestor is Salazar Slytherin.
What? You are not lying to me are you, human. I will come closer to smell you.
The snake slithers closer and sniffs the air with his tongue. It bows its head.
I am sorry, I did not know. If you will send me back to the forest you humans call Forbidden I will tell the others you are here. Know this young one, in your time of need we snakes shall come to help you. Only one of us has allied herself with the dark one. We other snakes will have nothing to do with her. Goodbye.
Before I send you back may I know your name?
My name is Apollo. We will meet again young snake-speaker.
Harry waves his wand and sends the snake back. He turns to see everyone staring at him. He turns to look at Albus.
Albus, the first chance we get I need to meet with you and the teachers. I must tell you what Apollo told me.
What do you mean? Thinks Albus.
I'll tell you after dinner. Since we only have ten minutes before dinner I'm leaving so I can change. I'll see you in a few.
With that said Harry bows towards the teachers and leaves the Great Hall. He calls for Sueilla and goes to his room and changes into his crimson casual robes. He leaves for dinner. He sits with his friends and has a nice chat with Blaise while Hermione argues with Ron over homework. As soon as dinner is over Harry looks to the headmaster and he nods his head. He stands up and follows the headmaster out of the room and into the staff room. The teachers all file in a few minutes later and Severus moves to the corner farthest away from Harry.
"I asked to speak with you because I was told by the snake today that Nagini is the only snake that is siding with Voldemort." Harry watches and most of the teachers shudder when he says that name.
"He said that Nagini is now an outcast among snakes and that all will side with us."
"How do we know that he isn't just saying that to trick you?" asks Madame Hooch.
"He can't lie to me since we are brothers." He replies. At everyone's confused looks he continues.
"Snakes are all born of the woman Medusa. Why do you think she had snakes for her hair. They are her children. She only had one human child that eventually descended down to Salazar Slytherin and his older sister Solicity. Medusa told all her children to live in harmony with humans, but Solicity thought she was above humans since she was a witch and daughter of Medusa. Since Salazar is my ancestor that makes me a son of Medusa and all snakes are my brothers. If Nagini had remembered what Medusa ingrained in her children she would have never joined Tom, but she like Tom believe just as Solicity. Medusa told me that it is alright for me to kill an evil man but not to harm those that are not."
Everyone is silent as they realize what this means, Minerva is the first to speak.
"So that means that the Basilisks could petrify the death eaters instead of killing them and the other snakes could just stun or incapacitate them. "
Harry nods his head and stands. He bows his heads to the teachers and turns to leave the room.
I know that you are avoiding me Severus. Don't think that I will allow it for much longer.
With that said Harry leaves and makes his way to his rooms. He meets Ron in the common room and the make their way to Hufflepuff's room. Ron and Harry sit on the bed and goes into a meditative state. His astral body floats above him and Ron. He decides to follow his life aura than Ron's. He sees that his life aura is a nice pale shade of blue. He follows the blue till it starts to mingle with a cream the color of his hair. He follows it and flies to stand above Severus body. He stops to listen as the man rants in his living room.
"What does he know? Why would some one that kind, thoughtful, good-natured and sexy want to do with me? I know I look better in my true form but still I have always been so nasty to him. I wonder if he realizes it was because of Voldemort that I have to be so cruel. He needs someone worthy of him. I just have to be even nastier to him. Doesn't he see I'm not good enough for him."
Harry leaves as Severus starts to get ready for bed. He flies back to his body and looks at Ron's life aura. He sees that it is beige color. He follows the strand and watches as it is intermingled with a orange color. He follows the orange and gasps when he finds out whom the orange belongs to. He flies back to his body and reenters it.
"Ron, what is your favorite color?" Asks Harry.
"You know its Chudley Canon Orange," he replies.
Harry motions for Ron to follow him. They walk out into the hall. Harry takes him to Prof. Flitwick's office, where they find Luna talking with the Prof.
"Ah, Prof. Flitwick I was wondering if you could perform the mate spell on Luna and Ron. I have looked at their life auras and seen that they are mates." Asks Harry.
"I already know this," Luna replies in a matter-of-fact voice.
Everyone is shocked to hear the petite Ravenclaw not talk in her usually dreamy voice. She laughs.
"I did that to annoy the other Ravenclaws when they started messing around with my stuff." She replies. Everyone laughs and Ron moves to stand a few feet from Luna. Flitwick waves his wand at the two and says the spell. It is revealed that Ron and Luna are soulmates. Harry turns to smile at the two and says,
"Luna is not allowed to come to the room still all of you have your mates. I expect you to talk to your parents and hers. I will be there if you wish. I am to meet with Draco and his mate's tomorrow night. I'll meet with yours any time after that."
"Alright, Harry" replies Luna, "I won't tell anyone that your real name is Harry Potter, Lorgin Krue."
Harry just laughs and leaves the two to get acquainted. He calls for Sueilla and goes to his room. He gets ready for bed and puts on his crimson silk pajamas.
Dream------------
Harry meets Merlin in their usual spot and they immediately get to work on perfecting his use of lightning. A few hours before he is due to awaken he is done.
"Saturday night I am going to bring you a surprise. You have worked hard. I will leave you so that you may rest better, till tomorrow night." states Merlin.
end of dream start of Friday-------------
Before Harry can say anything Merlin starts to fade and a few minutes later Harry awakes with a start. He checks the time to see that it is only 3:00 in the morning. He decides to go ahead and wake up. He does his normal workout and gets ready for school. He sees that he still has an hour before the others will be awake and decides to check out his library. He finds a book on Veela and their customs. He starts reading when suddenly he drops the book and runs into his bedroom. He stops in front of the portraits.
"Did you know that if I'm not with my mate and consummated the bond before my next birthday it would have killed me and made him ill, now it will probably do the opposite. I'll get ill and he'll die." Screams Harry.
The portraits all look at him sadly. When suddenly there is a knocking at his door. The others are screaming and asking if he is all right. He turns to the portraits.
"I'll explain everything when I get back tonight after my meeting. I love you guys."
"We love you too, Harry." They all exclaim as the saddened boy walks into the common room. He is surrounded by the others and they drag him to a couch where Sirius and Remus sit on both sides of him and hold him close.
"What's wrong, Harry? I was asleep when a white light and alarm started to blare in my room." asks Draco.
The others nod their head letting him know the same thing happened to them. Harry explains what he read and what it meant. The others gasp and cuddle him closer. He sobs into the two older men's arms all the while whispering "Why can't he love me?"
They wait for him to calm down before they leave to get ready for the day. When they all come out ready for the half a day. Harry stops them from leaving. He explains he doesn't want them to confront Severus and that he will deal with it. They agree and leave for breakfast.
"Harry, can I bring Luna to sit at the table with us?" asks Ron.
"Yes, I guess you told the others last night?" He replies.
Ron nods his head and as soon as they make it to the Great Hall. The group sees Luna, Blaise and Ginny standing outside of the Great Hall. Hermione and Ron rush over to their mates. The other four meet Ginny and she smiles at them.
"Yes, Ginny you can sit at the table with us. I'll let you sit between me and Draco." Everyone looks at Harry because they hadn't heard Ginny ask him. He jus shrugs and loops his arm over her shoulders. They sit to eat.
"What are you going to do till lunch, Harry?" asks Ginny.
"I'm not sure I was thinking that maybe if Sirius and Remus didn't have any classes today I would show them something. If they catch my drift." replies Harry.
Remus and Sirius stare at Harry wide eyed. They can't believe that he is going to let them see what is in the penseives his parents left him. They nod their heads quickly and hurry to finish breakfast. Harry and the others just laugh. Harry decides to invite Minerva and Albus along.
Grandfather are you and grandmother going to be busy this morning? asks Harry.
No, they only thing we planned on doing today was going with your group to London. WHY? He replies.
I want you to meet me and my two papas in your office after breakfast. Who is going with my group to London?
Me, Minerva, Remus, Sirius, and Severus. We can meet you and can I tell Minerva what you called her?
Yes.
Harry turns to Sirius and starts to whisper something in his ear when Prof. McGonagall screams, "HARRY JAMES POTTER!" Harry jumps and McGonagall rushes towards him. She pulls him off of his chair and wraps him in a huge bear hug. The students had all stopped what they were doing when she screamed but now they are just confused. They were sure that Harry was going to be in trouble, but were shocked when he was hugged instead.
She held him for a few minutes, sniffled a few times and went back to the head table. Harry shrugs his shoulders and sits back down. The students go back to their own business.
Sirius leans over and whispers into Harry's ear, "What did you say to her?"
Harry explains what he told Dumbledore. Sirius immediately turns to Remus and whispers something into his ear. He gets up and kneels down on the side that Ginny is sitting on. They both hug him and whisper, "We both think of you as our son and we couldn't be prouder of you." They hug a few minutes and get up. Harry nods to the headmaster and the trio leave the Great Hall. They walk the short distance to Dumbledore's office.
Harry places his hand on the head of the gargoyle. It starts to purr and rubs it's head into his hand. The trio laughs and Dumbledore and McGonagall join their laughter. The gargoyle starts to growl and yip, it sounds like a mix between a cat and a dog. Harry starts to laugh.
"The gargoyle says his name is Gemini. He says that you always offer people a lemon drop, but you've never offered him one."
The group laughs and Dumbledore pulls a small tin out of his pocket. "Would you like a lemon drop, Gemini?" he asks the gargoyle.
It growls and yips and Harry laughs again. "He says He would be delighted to try one... Just stick one on his tongue and he'll let me know what he thinks about it."
Dumbledore places a lemon drop on Gemini's tongue and they watch as the gargoyle closes his mouth. He purrs, growls and yips. The four look to Harry.
"He says, I see why he likes them. They are very good. You get a few moments of sour before the sweetness floods your mouth."
The gargoyle moves out of the way but not before Albus promises to give him a lemon drop every once in a while. They make their way into Dumbledore's office and Harry calls for Sueilla. He chirps to Fawkes and grabs ahold of Sirius and Remus. The trio watch as Albus and Minerva disappear in a flame of red fire. The appear next to the couple a few minutes later. Harry rushes into his bedroom and grabs the green and blue pensieves. He returns a few minutes later and everyone enters the blue one.
Two hours later everyone emerges and Harry calls for Winky and Dobby.
"Will you get us some tea and biscuits? I'm sure you know everyone's favorites. We don't need the pot just a cup each. I really appreciate it." He asks.
"We would be glad too.," they say together. They disappear and reappear a few minutes later with a tray. They set each individual cup in front of the person with a small dish of their favorite cookie. Harry hugs the two small elfs. They drink their tea in silence all the while the four adults are thinking about what they saw in James' pensive.
Ten m inutes later they enter the green pensieve. They don't come out if it till a half a hour before they are to leave for London. Harry tells them to give him aminute to change his hair and get his stuff and they can talk onthe way to the Great Hall about what they saw. He runs into his room and returns a few minutes ready to go.The two oldest are a little shocked at his appearance but the other two just sort of smirk and they all leave to go to the Great Hall. They all start talking about the same thing. Harry getting his powers from the six.
Flashback-----------
The sweat is still pouring down Lily's face. Her son suckling from her breast. She looks to her husband to see the pride and joy in his eyes, glad they had decided to have their son at home and not at St. Mungos. A glow fill the room and six ghost are floating in front of the trio.
Morgana steps foward.
"Do not be afraid. We mean you no harm. James, it is us that have visited you these last six nights." She steps back and Helga takes her place.
"We have come to gift young Prince Harry with our powers and knowledge." She steps back and Godric takes her place.
"We are here to insure that when the time comes Voldemort will be destroyed." He steps back and Rowena steps forward.
"I have seen the future and without your son there will be nothing left but darkness." She steps back and Salazar steps forward.
"We six are the non veela ancestors of the Potters. We were neither light nor dark. We six are all gray as Harry will be." He steps back and Merlin stands before them.
"Why I have to tell you will shock you. Each night one of us has visited James and had him write things down and seal them shut. They cannot be said aloud or read. On each list is the powers and knowledge we are giving Harry. We are going to do an ancient ritual that will give him all six of our powers, and combined with his already immense magical core he will be immortal. His powers will be godlike. We cast a spell on our bodies so that the magical cores would infuse with our knowledge and be locked away in a locket that has been passed down for generations in the Potter family."
"I believe it is the very same necklace you are wearing." Lily looks down at the necklace she wears and notices that it is glowing. We will perform the ritual in awhile, first I want to tell you of some of your sons new talents."
He goes on to explain a few of the things Harry will be able to do. He also explains that they don't even know exactly everything he will be able to do. Thirty minute go by and they are ready to do the ritual. James goes and gets the six envelopes while Lily lays Harry on the hearth of the fireplace. She puts the necklace around his neck. Lily goes and sits on their bed and watches as the ghosts gather around Harry and start.
Gods and Goddesses grant us
mortals this final wish
take from us and
give to him the babe
of our flesh, bone, and blood.
May he always know
right from wrong
good from bad
We invoke thee give to him
that which we have left
Each list is what
we were and are
As each burns give it to him
Each ghost shouts their name and James throws their letter in the fire.
Merlin
James throws the letter marked Merlin into the fire. A gray glow leaves the locket and enters Harry body just above his heart.
Morgana
Her letter in thrown in and a white glow leaves the locket and enters Harry.
Godric Gryffindor
His letter is thrown in and a red glow leaves the locket and enters Harry.
Helga Hufflepuff
Her letter is thrown in and a yellow glow leaves the locket and enters Harry.
Rowena Ravenclaw
Her letter is thrown in and a blue glow leaves the locket and enters Harry.
Salazar Slytherin
His letter is thrown in and a green glow leaves the locket and enters Harry. Suddenly Harry's body glows each color for a few seconds then the ghosts finish the chant.
He will be neither the white
or the black but
the gray in between
He shall be the one
to keep the balance
BLESSED BE!
Harry looks up from the hearth and giggles. James reaches down and picks him up. He looks around and the six ghosts are gone. He looks down in his arms to see the locket still around his sons neck and his son is asleep. He puts him in his cradle beside the bed and crawls into bed
next scene
Harry is about six months old and Severus has come to report to Lily and James. He tells them what happened at the meeting and stays for dinner. He decides to play with Harry a little bit. He picks him up to spin him around when Harrry grabs his shirt and lays his head on Severus shoulder. He goes straight to sleep. Severus just sits on the couch and holds him. Lily and James offer to put him to bed but Severus declines.
An hour later Severus gets up to leave and tries to hand Harry to Lily, but Harry won't let go of his shirt. Harry wakes up and starts to clutch him tighter and starts to wail. It takes both James and Severus each working on a hand fifteen minutes to pry them loose. Severus leaves never knowing that Harry cried for three days straight after that.
The next few scenes are just short ones from when the group was still in school. The four adults are shocked to see that James and Severus were friends since their second year. They couldn't believe it because that is when they started playing jokes on the Slytherins.
The messages from his parents were them telling him how proud they are of him and how much they love him.
End flashback-------
They enter the Great Hall and it goes silent, you don't even hear the clatter of silverware. They are all wondering what the students got quiet over till they remember and look at Harry. He has on tight black leather pants, combat boots, and a tight t-shirt that says in bold white letters: I refuse to have a BATTLE of WITS with an UNARMED PERSON. He's wearing a studded dog collar, studded bracelets, and has on black eyeliner. His hair is in two-inch spikes. One third of the spikes are electric blue, one third are vibrant purple and the rest are a shockingly bright red. He just looks around and makes his way to his table he grabs a few pieces of toast and puts a little butter and jam on them.
After everyone but the ones is Harry's group leave the Great Hall they join in front of the head table. Their group consists of Albus, Minerva, Remus, Sirius, Severus, Harry, Ron, Luna, Hermione, Blaise, Ginny, and Draco.
Albus tells them what type of clothes they can't wear and they get ready to portkey to Gringott's. Once there Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Sirius, Remus, and Minerva go and sit down while the rest go the vaults. Everyone goes to exchange their money and walk over to the other group.
Ron and Ginny look to Albus for their money but are shocked when Harry hands them a small pouch each. He smiles at them and says, "Happy early Birthday." They are shocked and open their pouches they each pull out a small bundle of money. Hermione gasps. She looks to Harry and he smiles. Hermione grabs the money from Ron's hands and counts it. She hands the money back to Ron and her hands shake.
"How much money is there?" Ginny asks.
"If what I think is true, Harry gave you both 5,000 pounds." answers Hermione.
Everyone but Harry and Albus gasp. Ron and Ginny both start to hand the money back to Harry and protest, but he shakes his head no.
"I've already talked to your parents and they told me I could give you money for your birthdays." he says but as an after thought he mumbles something. Albus, Sirius, and Remus are the only three to hear what he says and they start to laugh. The others look at them and Albus says he will explain when they get to the mall in London. He starts to pull out a portkey when Harry shakes his head. He motions for them to follow him they walk into the alley behind the Three Broomsticks. he pulls something out of his pocket and walks to the middle of the alley. He places it on the ground and enlarges the car. He motions for Sirius and Albus to get in the front and he gets into the back with the others.
"I figured this way we wouldn't startle any muggles." He states.
Everyone nods their heads and Harry points his finger at the satellite radio and it turns on. The only two who sang with the music were Harry and Hermione since they were familiar with muggle music. The others just tap their feet. They are almost to the mall when Hermione squeals and turns to Harry.
"Turn this up, please this is our song." she begs. He obliges since this is one of his favorite songs. They start to sing along to the song "Happy?" by Mudvayne.
He turns the radio back down after the song and notices that everyone is staring at him and Hermione.
"What's the matter?" He asks.
"How is that song your twos song?" asks Blaise.
Well during 4th year she was the only one that would have anything to do with me for part of the year." Answers Harry. Ron gets a guilty look.
"Last year we were having all that trouble with Umbridge and her making Harry use that blood quill..." Hermione says till she is interrupted by the adults screaming, "WHAT!"
They are just pulling into the parking lot of the mall. Sirius parks the SUV and the adults all turn to look at Harry and Hermione. Severus is the first to speak, "We shall speak of this when we get back to school." Hermione nods her head but Harry just gives Severus a glare before he says in a calm voice full of authority.
"And who are you to tell me what I will do? I believe that you have no right whatsoever to tell me what to do, and you would do well to remember that." Severus' face pales. He glares but nods his head.
Hoping to break the tension in the car Albus speaks up, "What Harry mumbled in Gringotts was, They said it was okay for me to give them money, I just didn't say how much I was going to give them."
All of the occupants except for one snarky potions master laugh. They climb out of the car and set the alarm. They make their way into the mall where Harry leads them to Hot Topic. Harry picks up some more t-shirts and black pants. Draco buys ten pair of black pants covered in different color chains and a pair of black combat boots. Blaise, Hermione, Luna, and Ginny ten pair of the same kind of pants, but they also buy t-shirts with cartoon characters on them. (ten each) Ron buys ten pants like Dracos, a pair of leather pants, and a pair of combat boots.
The next store they go to is a department store. The girls pick up some dresses and skirt shirt outfits. THey also get the sandals and boots to match. They guys pick up some black wife beaters and button up casual shirts ( short sleeve) in the same colors as the chains on their pants. They are just paying when Ron stomach growls. They make their way to the food court and this is where the group splits up.
They each go to different vendors and get something to eat. As they eat Ron decides it's time to tell Harry.
"Harry, Draco and I signed us up for the talent show. I'm playing bass guitar, Draco drums, and Hermione is playing keyboards. We figured you could sing and play guitar. Is that alright with you?"
Harry is quiet for a few minutes before he says, "I'll give you my answer when you answer one question for me. How do you even know if I can play guitar of sing, maybe I can't do either?"
Hermione is the one to answer, "We heard you the night you told me about Blaise."
Harry's face pales and he plasters a fake smile onto his face. 'I can't believe they heard that.'
"Alright, but only on two conditions. One, I'll write the songs for the competition. Two, no one hears the lyrics before then. I'll teach you the music."
The others look at the trio and watch as the look at each other before the nod their heads. Harry finishes his food first and looks around. He notices that a crowd is starting to gather. He knows the others didn't notice when the salesgirls hit on him, but this is getting ridiculous. He clears his throat.
"I think it's time to leave." And he nods his head to the side. Everyone looks around to see a crowd forming around them. The teens start to pale. Some of the people in the crowd are starting to drool and you can see the desire. lust and hunger in their eyes. The group stands. Albus orders the teens to the front while the adults crowd around Harry. Albus casts a notice me not spell secretly on their group and they rush to the car.
Once on the road again Blaise asks what happened.
"Why were those people staring like that? Draco is the only Veela with us and his powers are controllable since he's found his mate. I know his parents blocked them until then. So what is going on?" She starts getting louder with each word.
Harry sighs and grabs his staff/wand. He mutters a spell and a pale gold spell hits each person in the middle of his or her forehead.
"I cast a spell that won't let you tell anyone what I'm about to tell you. This secret must not be told till the time is right." He takes a deep breath and speaks again. "I am Lorgin Krue."
"No your not. Lorgin Krue is a Veela. I've seen him, so have you. You share the same rooms with him." Argues Blaise.
"Have you ever seen us together, other than at the starting feast. I can prove it to you." he counters and he lets his appearance fade to his natural form. Blaise gasps. He changes his appearance back.
"I have no parents to block my powers and my mate denies me. I can not control my Veela powers."
"But doesn't that weaken you?" she asks.
Harry nods his head.
"Why would it weaken you?" asks Ron.
"He needs his mate to anchor and awaken his Veela powers. He's going to be extra vulnerable to magical attacks and his body will weaken from the strain. A Veela lets out a scent that attracts others. They use that to keep people from getting into danger. A Veela is like a High Elf and can't harm people unless they or their family are in danger. Some Veela don't have mates because they are a whole soul instead of a half of one." answers Hermione in a matter of fact voice.
Ron is dumbfounded, he doesn't understand a word she just said and it shows on his face.
"Veela are unusually good in a certain area of magic. Lily, Harry' mother, was a master of charms. James, his father, was a master of transfiguration. Lorgin, his grandfather, was a master of the dark arts. The reasons are because of their Veela heritage. When they find their mate it unlocks their power and helps them control and master them." says Albus.
"A person with a soul mate is usually half of a whole. That means that since you and Luna are soulmates, your souls make one." supplies Minerva.
"But why would that weaken him to others?" Ron asks stupidly.
"Because his body cannot live without all of his magic. If some of it is still blocked his body can't get to it and within a year, if he hasn't mated, he will die." Says Draco darkly.
This causes Hermione, Ron, Albus, Minerva, Draco and Remus to give Severus a deadly glare then to look at Harry with sorrowful looks. Blaise didn't miss the looks and she asks.
"Who is your mate, Harry?"
"He knows who he is and I know what he thinks of me." he replies curtly.
Luna is quiet thru this whole discussion, when she suddenly asks, " Who are the Heir of Six, Phoenix Lord, and the Lord of Light? What prophecy does the heir know of?"
Albus, Sirius, Remus, Minerva, and Harry all pale. Only Luna would remember and ask about that.
"The Phoenix Lord and Lord of Light can not be named till their powers have strengthened. They must have time to train. I am the heir of six. The prophecy is..." but Harry is cut off when Albus says.
"Cannot be known by Harry since he hasn't been told."
To change the subject Minerva says, "Miss Granger you never finished telling you why that is your song."
Hermione giggles and looks to Harry.
flashback--------
Hermione paces three times in the hall, when suddenly a door appears. She walks into the room to find two desks sitting in the middle of the room and a huge stereo system against the back wall. She walks over to it and turns it on. She sits some vials on the desk and starts to sit down when the door opens and Harry walks in. He cast a locking and privacy charm on the door and room.
Hermione gasps. Blood is dripping from his fingertips. She rushes over and sits him down.
"How many times?" she demands.
"1,000" he asnwers quietly. Her lips tighten. She hands him a vial and he drinks it while she puts a different substance on her hand and wraps it. He smiles up at her gratefully.
She starts pacing the room and shouts, "She made you write I will not tell lies 1,000 times!" Harry nods his head and stands. He goes over to the stereo and turns it up just as the song "Happy?" by Mudvayne starts to play.
He grabs Hermione around the waist and makes her dance with him. As soon as the song is finished he turns it back down and they sit.
They start working on their homework when he says, "You know sometimes I feel that way. What with Umbridge and her detentions, the way Professor Dumbledore won't acknowledge me, and I can't tell any of the teachers about her because they will get fired."
"Don't you dare forget the way Professor Snape treats you? I can't believe he is so narrow-minded and your remedial potions class indeed. "Clear your mind" is all he says then he attacks your mind. You hardly sleep anymore, you can hardly hold anything down, I'm afraid your going to get sick. I worry about you" she rants but starts to cry towards the end of her rant.
He jumps up and hugs her. They fall to the floor and he holds her as she cries.
"I know you think I'm silly for standing up for him. I think he is doing me a service by keeping me grounded. I know that you and Ron don't agree. So, don't worry." he strokes her hair and whispers in er ear, "I love you, big sister. I don't know how I would get along without you. I want you to always remember that."
She nods her head.
end of flashback----------
She is just finished telling them when they pull up outside of the Three Broomsticks. They climb out of the car and Harry shrinks it and his bags. He places them in his pocket. Once everyone is ready to go Albus pulls out a portkey and they all grab hold. The portkey takes them to the headmaster's office. Albus checks the time and sees they have an hour before dinner. He ushers the teens to leave but asks the teachers to stay behind. Harry is the last to leave and just as he gets to the door Severus speaks.
"Where do you think you are going? I told you that we were going to talk about the blood quill incident and talk we will. Now you will sit in this chair," he gestures to the chair in front of him, "and explain what happened. NOW"
Harry starts to get angry and his whole body starts to tremble. He glares at Severus.
"You will not tell me what I am to do. You who denies me the right to get to know my mate, demands something from me. I will not stand for it." He growls. Suddenly a bright light fills the room and all six of Harry's familiars are standing between him and Severus. Fawkes flies over and lands on the dragons back.
Fawkes looks at Harry and they start to talk.
What do you mean denies you your mate?
He is my mate and he does not want me. He has told me that he will not be with me.
What does he not know that you could die?
Yes, he knows that the one denied will die, but I will not. I am immortal so I will become ill and go crazy. He would be the one to die.
Fawkes nods his head and sends a glare at Severus along with the rest of the animals.
"You will not talk to me that way ever again, Severus Snape. I will not allow it. I have been lenient with you. You know what laws I could enforce, but I haven't. Do not push me."
With that said Fawkes flies back to his perch, and Harry and his familiars disappear in a flash of white fire. Sirius turns on Severus and starts screaming at him.
"What did he mean? Tell me right now, you greasy haired bastard."
Remus grabs Sirius' arms as the other man swings to punch Severus.
"Enough, you will all sit and Severus will explain it to us." Shouts Albus. He conjures up a few more chairs and motions for everyone to sit. He looks at Severus.
Severus sits down and sighs.
"It is rare for a Veela to not want to be with their mate. A law was put into act that states A Veela may not be denied their mate but for one reason. If their mate is a non-veela and already married then it cannot be forced. If a Veela tries to deny their mate it can be brought before the king. He will force the bond and the submissive (the one who denied their mate) will be forced to be the slave of their mate for so many years, till the debt of damage is done. What it means is that they will be forced to do whatever their mate wants for a certain amount of time. They go to court and the king looks at their bond and sees if it has strengthened. Once it is strong enough the servitude is over, and by then the submissive has fallen in love with their mate."
With that said Severus stands and leaves the office. In the Founders' Common Room Harry is sitting between his three friends they are all wrapped around him on the floor, each whispering softly to him. He cries on Draco's shoulder while Ron and Hermione each rub his back.
Twenty minutes later Harry is calmed down enough to get ready for dinner. He heads for his room to change when Ron stops him.
"Harry why are you going to change its Casual Fridays," asks Ron.
"Draco, can you explain, You and I must change. You did explain to her about tonight?" Asks Harry.
Draco nods his head and grabs his wand. He mutters a spell and he has his a wizard dress robe outfit on. He motions for the other two to sit.
"Tonight I am going before my parents, my mates parents, and Harry to declare my mate. Both my mate and I must be in formal attire. Harry, being King, must be in formal attire to preside over the Rite of Intention and the Rite of Betrothal. Tonight our parents will know and we will become engaged."
Hermione nods her head but Ron has this look that says "HUH?". Hermione laughs and says she'll explain it to him later. Harry walks out of his bedroom wearing his red with gold trim dress robe tux. He motions to the others and they leave for dinner. They meet Blaise, Luna, Ginny, Sirius, and Remus in the Entrance Hall. They walk in together and all eyes turn to follow their group. The eyes of most the teens and a few of the teachers fill with lust.
Harry notices that Ginny has put a notice me not on her bag. 'That must contain her dress and dress robes.' He looks at Draco and nods his head.
We will wait for everyone to leave. I will tell Ron that Ginny is going to go and get something from Albus for me. The meeting will take place in the room off of the Great Hall. When Ginny goes to talk to Albus he will motion for her to follow him. She will change and he will have Dobby 'pop' her into the room before the parents are admitted.
Draco nods his head and agrees that the idea is good. He watches Harry as he tells Ginny the plan then Harry turns to Ron ans whispers something in his ear. He nods and Harry stands and motions for Draco and Ginny to stand also. He looks at Albus and winks.
Harry leads Draco to the chamber while Ginny goes to Dumbledore. The two Veela only have to wait five minutes before Ginny appears with Dobby. Dobby disappears and Winky appears with a tray of tea and cookies. Harry moves to sit in front of the fireplace and watches as Draco stares at Ginny. There is a knock on the door, Harry motions for Ginny to stand in the shadows. Draco opens the door and lets in his parents and the two Weasley parents. The four adults bow to Harry. He nods his head and motions for Draco to start.
"Mother, Father, I have found my mate. I have called you four here to start the rites." He says with confidence. Draco motions for Ginny to come out of the shadows and the adults gasp. Never had they ever seen Ginny look so lovely.
She is wearing a dress and robe of the finest silk in the same color as Harry's hair. Her hair falls down to the middle of her back in soft ringlets. Her skin looks like porcelain and her eyes shine with her love for Draco, just as Draco's shine for her.
The Malfoys and Weasley parents rise. They bow before Harry on one knee. The Malfoys are the first to speak.
"I, Lucius Malfoy and my wife, Narcissa, wish to let it be known we have no qualms to this. We approve and welcome Ginerva Weasley into the Malfoy family. May she be happy and healthy till the ends of her days."
Arthur speaks next. "I, Arthur Weasley and my wife, Molly, wish to let it be known we have no qualms to this. We approve and welcome the merging of our two families. We open our home. My he be happy and healthy till the end of his days."
They rise together and Harry stands.
"I witness the Rite of Intentions between these two. May they bring peace and happiness to their families. Now we shall begin the Rite of Betrothal. Draco, Ginny step foward."
Ginny and Draco stand before Harry. Draco hands him the ring. Harry opens the box to show a two-carat diamond sitting on a thick gold band. He nods and hands the box back to Draco. Draco takes the ring out of the box and grabs Ginny's left hand. He places the ring of her ring finger as he says:
"With this ring I promise forever. I want to make you my wife, my mate, my life. Will you have me?"
She nods her head and he bends down to kiss her gently on the lips.
"I witness the Rite of Betrothal. May you have love for the rest of your days. There is tea and cookies for everyone."
The parents gather around the two teens. The mothers noticeable sobbing and the fathers letting their pride shine. Harry walks over and clears his throat.
"Can I talk to the Malfoys for a few minutes in private?" The Malfoys follow Harry to a corner of the room. He cast a privacy spell over them.
"I am formally announcing the use of the Xandu." The two oldest Malfoys gasp. 'Who woud have to use the Xandu. It hasn't been used in over a hundred years.' Harry sees their confusion.
"I am using the Xandu. My mate is trying to deny me. If I have to I will call upon the old laws, but for now I will 'court him'. I am telling you to make it official. I will initiate the start on Monday."
To say that the eldest are shocked is an understatement. They nod their heads. They make their way back to the Weasleys. The adults stay a few more minutes and leave. The teens decide to go to bed. Ginny to the Gryffindor dormitory and the two boys to their own beds.
Harry sits in front of the portrait and explains to them what has happened. They all agree it's for the best and wish Harry a good night. He changes into his gold pajamas and goes to bed.
dream -----------------------
Harry is in the clouds. He sees Merlin and rushes to greet the older man. He hugs him and they start his training. He works on wandless magic the whole night they never got to anything else. Both men were amazed at the sheer power coming from Harry. He could do almost any spell wandless and wordless. They are just stronger if he used his staff. A few minutes before Harry wakes up Merlin reminds him about Saturday night.
end of dream Saturday morning------------------------
Harry wakes up and does his morning routine. He slips on a pair of black pants with black chains; he puts on a black wife beater and a black silk button up over top. He slips on his combat boots and steps into the bathroom.
He widens his nose, makes his eyes a little more almond shaped and changes their color to a nice chestnut brown. His hair is in two inch spikes that are all tipped a bright red. He walks to Sueilla.
Can you take me to Diagon Alley? I need to pick up a few things, then I'm going to apperate into London.
That's not a problem, just take Koi with you.
Koi, will you come with me today? Harry hisses towards his bed.
Yes, Harry. You will have to put notice me not charms on me.
The snake slithers to Harry and makes it's way to his wrist. Sueilla flies to his shoulder and they disappear in a flash. Harry thanks Sueilla and tells her he will call her to come and get him.
He walks around Diagon Alley. He picks up everything he is going to need for the Xandu. He apperates into an alley in London from there he walks to the mall. He goes to a music shop and buys all the equipment they will need for the band. He decides that since he is already out he's going to pick up what he's going to need for the masqerade ball. He apperates back to the leaky Cauldron. He reenters Diagon Alley. He walks around but can't seem to find the store he is looking for, he decides to go into Knockturn Alley. Once there he only has to go in a short distance when he finds exactlywhat he is looking for, about 100 yards in there is an old vintage shop. He walks in and finds the store is filled with racks upon racks of clothes from the Middle Ages up to now. He is walking around when a kind looking old man walks up to him.
"Is there anything I can help you with, young man?"
"I am looking for an outfit that was from around the time of the founders. Do you have anything from then?" He asks.
The man thinks for a minute and starts to walk off. He motions for Harry to follow him. They walk into a back room and the man moves towards an old trunk. He motions for Harry to pull the trunk into the open. Once out the man opens it and pulls four complete outfits (menshoes, pants, shirt, coat, robes; women, pantaloon, chemises, dress, robes) from that time period. Harry gasps when he sees them. He instantly recognizes them as the outfits the founders are wearing in their portraits at the school. He looks closer at the trunk and notices that it is covered in the Hogwarts seal.
"Where did you get these and whose were they?" He asks.
"My great, great, grandfather bought them from a young woman over 900 years ago. She said that her grandmother had them made around the time of the founders." He answers.
"I'll take them. I'll even buy the trunk. May I ask you a question?" Harry asks. The old man nods his head as he places the clothes back into the trunk.
"Why is your store in Knockturn Alley instead of Diagon Alley?"
"I can't afford to rent a space much less buy one. This is the only place my ancestor could afford." he answers truthfully.
"What do you sell all of these clothes and accessories for?"
"I sell them to be worn or used as costumes. All of the items in here have preservation charms, cleaning charms, and mending charms."
"May I ask your name?"
"Why I am Thomas Kindred," the man replies with a smile. Harry reads the magical aura to find that the man isn't lying.
Harry grabs the trunk and follows the old man to the front; he tries to think of a way to help the man. Just as they reach the counter it hits Harry. The man gives him a total and Harry pulls out his card. He pays for the trunk, shrinks it, and puts it in his pocket and waves goodbye. He walks to Gringotts and goes straight to a teller.
"I need to see whoever is over my account. I think that may be Griphook."
The teller looks at him warily. "What is your name?" the goblin growls.
"My name is Harry Potter." He answers pushing back his hair to show his lightning bolt scar. The goblin bows his head and walks away. A few minutes later he returns with Griphook. Griphook smiles when he sees Harry.
"Ah Mr. Potter, how good to see you again. I am surprised you remembered my name." Harry is motioned to follow Griphook into a small office. He sits down.
"How may I help you Mr. Potter?" the goblin asks.
Harry explains his idea and the goblin nods his head. He leaves the room and returns with a few peices of parchment. He sets up a dicto-quill and him and Harry go over the contract. He motions for Harry to cut his finger and place a drop of blood on the contract and on the other piece of parchment. Harry pulls out a dagger and slices the tip of his finger and lets exactly three drops fall on each parchment. He heals his finger and sits. Griphook pulls a cord and a Bill Weasley comes in.
"Bill, do you know where the vintage clothes store is in Knockturn Alley?" Bill nods so Griphook continues, "I need you to bring the owner, a Mr. Thomas Kindred here." Bill nods and leaves the office.
Twenty minutes later Bill comes back with the old man. The old man sits down and Bill leaves the office. The old man looks surprised to find the young man that had just been in his shop sitting there.
"Mr. Kindred, my friend here has come to make you a deal. He has an old store here in Diagon Alley. It's located just a few stores down from Flourish and Blotts. He has come up with a contract that if you agree with he will let you use the store, rent-free. Forever. The only thing he asks is that as long as you or none of your descendants become evil or support someone evil, like Voldemort, than your family may us the store as long as they wish." States Griphook.
The old man is shocked. He nods his head. Griphook motions for the two to sign the contract and he will make it magically binding. Harry signs his name, then the old man. Thomas gasps when he reads the other name.
"Are you really Harry Potter, because you don't look like him?" He asks tentatively.
Harry nods his head and waves his wand. His features return to the dark haired Harry.
"Why?" He asks.
"I thought you would have more business if you moved to Diagon Alley. The contract binding, as long as you or none of you descendants support evil then you may always use the building." He replies. Thomas starts shaking Harry's h ands when suddenly he pulls Harry into a hug. Harry hugs the older man and turns to Griphook.
"I thank you for taking the time to see us. May your life be long and filled with gold" he says in gobbledygook as he bows.
Griphook is shocked he returns the bow and saying. Harry waves good-bye and walks into the alley beside Gringotts.
Sueilla, I am ready for you to come and get me.
Alright Harry, I'll be there in a few minutes. I must warn you that the ones that share your common room have knocked on you door several times.
In a flash of white Sueilla appears on Harry's shoulder and they disappear. They reappear in his bedroom. Harry walks over to the portrait and pulls the trunk out of his pocket. He calls for Dobby.
"Dobby, will you go and get me four pebbles about the size of a galleon." he asks.
Dobby nods his head and disappears only to reappear a few seconds later with the four pebbles.
"I is making a rock garden to make mine and Winky's room pretty. I had four stones that size. I even made them in four colors. Do you be needing anything else, Harry sir?" he says.
Harry tells him no and looks at the four pebbles that Dobby handed him. They are red, green, yellow, and blue. He places each pebble a few feet apart and cast a spell on them. The pebbles turn into mannequins that are the same size as the founders. He pulls out each outfit and places it on the appropriately colored mannequin.
He hears the gasp from the painting.
"Is there anyway for me to know that these are yours." he asks.
"Yes, each of us have our magical signature on the clothing in the form of our house seal on the inside hem." answers Rowena. (I will go into more detail about each outfit later)
Harry checks the hems of each item and sure enough it's there. He explains what he's done the whole day. They all agree that was the best way to handle the shop besides out right giving him the building. He tells them goodbye and walks into the common room, there the others pounce upon him.
Hermione drags him to the couch where she starts to lecture him about how worried they been. He mumbles an apology.
"I went and bought the stuff for the band. I figured we could use the training room to practice. We will have to shrink them and put them in a cabinet in there, so I can train every morning."
They pull him up and rush to the door fro the training room, Ron grabs the handle and tries to pull the door open, and when it won't open he tries pushing the door open.
"Why won't the door open, Harry?" He whines.
Harry places his hand on the door and it disappears. He motions for the others to enter first, because as soon as he enters the opening disappears and it now looks like the rest of the wall. Harry laughs when he sees their faces. He pulls the equipment out of his pockets and places them on the floor. He discreetly waves his hand and they resize.
He gives each their instrument and takes the amps and mics and casts a spell on them to make them work off of magic. The group practices for a few hours till dinner. Harry goes and changes into his black casual robe outfit.
That night as Harry gets ready for dinner he hums a song. He knows that this will be one of two they will play for the competition. He crawls into bed with a huge smile on his face.
dream------------
Harry finds himself standing in a field of lilies. He turns enjoying the sun washing over him. He hears a noise and turns to see Merlin walking towards him with two deer, as they get closer he sees one is a buck and the other is a doe. Before his very eyes he watches as the two deer transform into his parents. They run towards each other, except Merlin who stays behind to give the three some time alone. His wife, Morgana, joins him.
They watch as the trio grab each other and hug. They sit in the flowers and just hold each other, never noticing the tears that drip from their eyes.
"I wish that he didn't have to be without them," Morgana whispers, not wanting to ruin the trios time.
Merlin hugs her to him and rubs her back, "I do too. He has suffered much, but has grown so strong."
They mourn for all that the three have lost. They both know that this will be one of the few times Harry will ever get to be with his parents.
Meanwhile, Lily and James are telling him everything about their lives. James is just finishing a story about a prank when Merlin puts his hand on Harry's shoulder.
"It's almost time for you to wake up." Merlin says mournfully. The trio nod and hug each other. Harry turns to Merlin and Morgana, and bows.
"Thank you", he whispers to them both as he hugs them. The five adults start to disappear and Harry feels the stir of awareness.
end dream-----------
Harry awakes to know that tonight he will start training with a new ancestor.
