Chapter 7: Summer Break

Harry was staring out the window of his bedroom, when Hedwig returned from her two delivery. It was the first week of summer break and already Harry had finished all of his assigned summer homework, at the insistence of his mother. Now, Harry sat at his window waiting for something exciting to happen.

Nothing. No one could blame him for being bored out of his mind, after all he and his small group of dysfunctional friends had stopped the Dark Lord Voldemort from returning to power, after all that excitement it was hard not to be bored when trying to get re-acquainted to the normalcy of everyday life. He thought for a while about that day, the day he and Neville faced the Dark Lord, themselves. He still couldn't believe they had managed to live through it all. Dumbledore had explained, once he had woken up in the hospital wing, that he and Neville were saved by the power of love. He also explained that once he had arrived back at Hogwarts Blaise had fetched him immediately and he came to both of their aids. Harry still didn't completely understand it all but he figured that he was alive and Sorcerer's Stone was no more, it didn't really matter that he didn't understand, it was over.

But as he sat in his room with virtually nothing to do, he wished that his life would again become exciting. He glanced momentarily at the letter Hedwig had given to him. It was from Draco. He smiled and ripped the letter open.

Dear Harry,

How are you? Have you done your homework? Okay enough of that, Pansy and Blaise suggested that we get together tomorrow for a day of fun. Can you make it? If so I'll come and get you and we'll meet them at Diagon Alley.

Yours Truly,

Draco

Harry rolled his eyes at the end but instantly they lit up at the prospect of leaving the house and getting to see the outside world once more. Now that all of his homework was completed his mother had no reason to keep to him locked in doors. He frowned for a moment, thinking of his mother's irrational behavior since the day he had returned home. She seemed rather shaken by the news of his encounter with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. She had barely let Harry out of her sight the entire time he had been back. It was strange, she checked up on him as if he would disappear if she weren't there to watch him. Harry supposed that it was a normal parent reaction but something seemed very odd about it. When Harry questioned his father about, he simply frowned and told Harry that his mother was a worrier and that he shouldn't let it get to him.

Harry had a feeling there was more to it than that. He sighed and decided not to dwell on it too much. Harry got up from his seat near his window and made his way downstairs to where his mother was. She was sitting in the living sipping tea and watching one of her favorite television shows. Harry thought that this was the perfect time to ask her about going out tomorrow, his mother was practically a zombie when she was tuned into her programs.

"Mum?" he asked timidly using his cute, helpless, 'mummy I need your help' voice.

"Yes, what is it Harry dear?" Lily turned her gaze away from the television to look at her son with brilliant viridian orbs. Her crimson locks moving silkily with the movement of her head, annoyed she pushed her hair behind her ears and listened intently to her son.

"Well, I was wondering if it would be alright if I met up with a couple of my friends tomorrow for a day out." he looked really nervous, a Dark Lord he could handle but his mother was a whole other story, his mother was actually scary when she wanted to be.

"What friends would those be, Harry?" she asked in reply. Harry sighed, she didn't seem angry.

"Three of my friends from Slytherin house, Draco, Blaise, and Pansy." Harry muttered.

"I don't see any particular problem with it. But you know you have two parents Harry. You'll have to ask your father as well." She stated before turning her attention back to the television.

Harry sighed once again, for a moment he thought that his mother would blow a gasket. But with a renewed amount of enthusiasm he made his way to his father's study. His father would most likely be reading, which was also lucky for he would be at his most reasonable when he was settled down with a good book.

Harry wasn't going to fool himself into thinking that his father had come to terms with not only the fact that he was friends with Slytherin students, but that he was one himself. He didn't think that his father would ever get over it, his father had the famous streak of stubbornness that Potter's were known for. He sighed when he vaguely realized he may have inherited that trait as well.

Pushing upon the huge, imposing doors of his father's study Harry poked his head in. "Dad?"

James looked up from his desk where he sat with his nose buried in a leather bound book. "Yes, son what is it?"

"Well I wanted to know if you would approve of my going out for a day fun tomorrow, with my friends from Hogwarts." Harry replied not looking his father in the face. Instead he kept his gaze sheepishly on the hard wood floors of the study.

"Are these the friends from Slytherin?" James asked his dark eyes going very dark as his expression became more serious.

Harry sighed visibly and nodded. He let the frustration he felt towards his father's attitude shine menacingly in his eyes.

James stared at his son for a long moment. He was no fool and could see the boy's agitation clearly in his eyes. James saw the defiance that belonged to him shining from eyes that belonged to his wife, he smiled as he realized that Harry was the perfect mixture of both Lily and himself. He knew himself very well and if Harry really did take after him then, he wasn't going to win this battle. He sighed as well and nodded his agreement.

Harry turned to leave but his father called "Harry?" the son turned to his father with a questioning gaze "Get into any trouble and it'll be your hide." With that said he dismissed his mini-me.

Harry smiled and shook his head at his father's threat. He knew he meant it but every time his father tried to punish him, the punishment lasted a maximum of two days, and so Harry didn't worry too much about that.

The raven haired boy walked towards the kitchen in search of something to snack on. Just as he found a tray of pastries that his mother had baked earlier that day, he was surprised to hear a loud pop emanate from the living room.

Heading back into the living room with the sweet hanging from his mouth and a napkin in his hand, he beamed when he saw that his god family had arrived. He hadn't known they were supposed to be visiting today, it was a pleasant surprise. Cole's presence was sure to take his mind off of his boredom.

"Cole!" Harry called out to the boy.

"Harry!" Cole ran to Harry and instantly enveloped him in a hug. The grey eyed youth stared into his god brother's face, something akin to hero worship in his eyes. "So you're alright then? No scars or any other damage?"

"No, I'm fine. But I didn't know you guys were coming today. I'm so glad you did, though, it's terribly boring around here." Harry grimaced.

Cole smirked before saying "Well then that just means we'll have to make the next few days as fun as possible to make up for it!" Cole beamed and Harry beamed back at him.

"You're staying over?" Harry asked.

"If that's alright with Uncle Jimmy and Aunt LiLi!" Cole smiled at Harry's mother who was sitting on the couch watching the two.

"Of course I don't mind. But I think you might want to wait until tomorrow to start you visit Cole." she said.

"Why?" Cole asked bluntly and in a confused voice.

"Because I think Harry has made plans to meet up with some friends tomorrow." Lily replied.

"That's okay Mum, Cole can come with us." Harry smiled excitedly, he couldn't wait for his friends to meet his little brother.

"That sounds like a lot of fun." Cole walked away from Harry to approach his parents. Taking on a voice similar to Harry's helpless voice he asked "Poppa and Dad can I go out with Harry and his friends tomorrow?" he looked up with big grey eyes at Remus, knowing that he was the more reasonable and soft hearted parent.

"I don't think so young man! You and Harry barely know how to stay out of trouble when you're under the supervision of adults! What makes you think we would let you two out by yourselves?!" Sirius' voice boomed and Harry winced but smiled as Cole knew just how to work both of his parent, just like Harry did. Harry had a stray thought that Cole would make an excellent Slytherin.

Cole looked up at his Poppa and his eyes got glassy with unshed tears, his mouth quivering slightly. Instantly Sirius' expression soften looking into exact copies of his own eyes and knowing that he was going to give in. "Son you know I hate those, puppy dog eyes."

"I know but you gave them to me." Cole said sniffling and Harry smirked to himself. Cole was good.

Groaning Sirius turned his gaze away from his son's. "Remi what do you think?" he asked not looking at his betrothed.

"Well I don't see the harm in letting him go." Remus said as Cole wrapped his arms around Remus' waist. The man scratched the back of his head as Sirius turned to him with heated eyes.

Sirius visibly slumped only seconds later, he couldn't deny his son or beloved even the most simplest of things. Sometimes it grated on his nerves. Finally giving up Sirius motioned for his son to come closer to him. Kneeling down in front of the boy he said "Go and have fun. But get into any trouble and it's your hide!" Sirius spoke with finality. Harry snorted because of the déjà vu he was sensing. The only thing different about the situation was that he knew his godfather could follow through on his threats unlike his father. His godfather was a firm believer in discipline, even if he was a push over sometimes.

Cole beamed, kissed both fathers before saying "Thank you so much! I promise not to get into any kind of trouble!" then he ran back to Harry's side and the two walked excitedly up the stairs and into Harry's room. "So where are we supposed to meet your friends tomorrow Harry?" the younger of the two asked.

"Well my friend Draco said that he would come retrieve me and then we would meet up with the others at Diagon Alley. But I havent replied and told them I would come yet." Harry said as he looked at the time on the clock by his bed. "Shoot! It's too late to send an owl to deliver the message."

"So call them." Cole said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

"Uh Cole all of my friends are from pureblood families, purebloods usually don't like muggle technology, therefore I'm sure none of them have a phone. " Harry said slowly as if Cole wouldn't be able to keep up with the concept.

"Harry you could just call them by using the floo or fireplace." Cole said mimicking Harry's slow tone and then smirking as Harry flushed from embarrassment.

"Oh, I hadn't thought about that." Harry said suddenly quiet. He sighed, closing his eyes and then opened them back up smiling. "Okay then let's go make a call."

Harry and Cole took the stairs two at a time before going straight into the dining room, where the fireplace was. Harry focused a little magic before calling out "Malfoy Manor." Cole started a fire and the image of a man who looked entirely like Draco appeared in the flames. The man stared at him from eyes that seemed at first surprised and then angry.

"Who are you?" the man asked menacingly.

"I'm Harry Potter, sir." Harry replied nervously.

The man smirked in a way that made Harry shudder. "Ah, yes Draco has told me much about you, young Potter. You do so resemble your father, James." Harry nodded at his comment. "What may I ask, are you calling for?"

"I was calling to talk to Draco. Is he home at the moment?" Harry returned as a bead of sweat rolled down his temple.

"Yes Draco is home. If you will be patient for a moment or two I will have a house elf fetch him." Malfoy senior replied still with that chilling smirk on his face.

Harry said "Thank you I will wait." He wondered idly what in the Merlin's beard a house elf was. Cole who had been silent ever since the man appeared in the fire, narrowed his eyes something about the blonde man unsettled him.

Two minutes later a familiar face appeared in the flames. "Harry?" the blond boy asked.

"Yes, it's me." Harry replied. "Draco is the invitation you sent me today still open because I'd like to accept." Harry said smiling at his friend through the fire.

"Harry of course the invitation is still open, don't be an idiot!" Draco laughed.

"Draco, do you suppose it would be okay if I brought my god brother along as well?" Harry asked nervously.

"Sure Harry. The more the merrier, besides I had been wanting to meet your god brother ever since he sent you that advice. I think it would be great if you'd bring him along." Draco smirked. "Beside any kin of yours is kin of mine." Harry shook his head at Draco who winked at him and ended the call.

"Well that's all set. Now what should we do?" Harry asked.

"Well I was going to ask to go flying but seeing as it's getting a little late maybe we shouldn't. How about instead you can teach me what you learned this year. And you can also fill me in on every detail of the adventures you had without me." Cole said with a pouting face at the end.

"Well it's not like I intended to have any fun without you, I would've loved to have had you there with me the whole way. But I cant control that." Harry explained taking his god sibling's hand in his own before starting to drag him up to his room.

"Harry relax, I know it's not your fault or anything like that. I'm just jealous I guess." Cole replied pulling his hand free when they reached the room. He sat down on Harry's bed and said "So start with the details I don't already know." with that prompting, Harry engaged him in the tales of his first year and the defeat of 'Quirrelmort'.

Dinner came and went, soon enough it was time for the two boys to call it a night. Of course the two being young and restless didn't actually fall asleep until the wee hours of the morning. Needless to say when they were awakened by Harry's mother at promptly seven a.m. they were very reluctant to end their slumber.

Once they were dressed and fed breakfast, Harry made another call to Draco. This time the blond boy was the one to answer the call and Harry was relieved he didn't have to deal with Draco's Father.

"Are you two ready?" Draco asked without preamble.

"Yes we are!" Harry answered excitedly.

Draco nodded. "Then I'll be there in a moment." Harry looked quizzically into the fire before he saw the blond grab a handful of some kind of powder, before he threw it into the fire. "Potter residence!" Draco called out and step into the fire and disappearing.

Harry turned to Cole silently asking him a question. Cole answered "He just used floo powder, he'll be here soon. Put out the fire Harry." Harry did as Cole told him to, and used a water conjuring charm to douse the flames, just then Draco appeared in the hearth and was thoroughly drenched. Harry realizing what happened ended the spell and began shooting off a string of apologies.

Draco frowned at Harry while Cole simply laughed hysterically at the scene. Draco harrumphed and dried himself with a charm. Delicately stepping from the fireplace, like the proper Malfoy he was, Draco greeted Harry with a hug. Cole still giggling raised an eyebrow at the interaction.

Harry turned what he was sure was unattractive shade of red as Cole stared at them. Draco smirked and raised one eyebrow. He said "It's rude to stare."

Cole frowned and said "Sounds like a Harry line." Cole turned to his brother and then Draco snorted, very un-Malfoy like.

Face still red Harry retorted "Well it is rude to stare!" Draco snorted again and Cole rolled his eyes at Harry.

"Harry are you going to introduce us?" Cole asked impatiently. Cole took in the boy standing a rough meter away. He had some of the most beautiful blond hair Cole had ever seen. It glinted a silvery metallic color when hit by the light. Steely, silver, grey eyes stared at him in speculation. Pale skin, facial features of royalty and an air of arrogance that he wore like a perfume.

"Um, okay. Cole this is my friend Draco, and Draco this is my god brother Cole." Harry said glancing between the two nervously. There was something going on between them but Harry wasn't exactly sure what that something was, but he had a feeling that he wouldn't like it one bit.

Draco took in the boy staring him down. The strange look of indignation took him by surprise but of course Draco didn't let his features portray that. He noted the long, honey brown, silken waves of Cole's hair. The boy also had fair, pale skin. He finally went to look the boy in the face and found that he had the face of a lost prince, young and pretty in it's own right. Cole's eyes surprised Draco as he watched the grey eyes visibly darken with suspicion.

Draco held out his hand to the boy. Cole hesitantly took the offered hand. When their skin touched and their eyes met, there was a strange jolt of energy that electrified the air around them. Harry who had been watching the two silently gasped at the feel of magic suddenly so evident in the atmosphere around them. The room smelled vaguely of lightning and ozone Harry thought.

The boys drew their hands back from each other. Their was an awkward silence, as the magic quickly receded from the room. Draco and Cole were looking anywhere but at each other as they both reddened and looked flustered.

Harry, adopting his brother's impatience, narrowed his eyes and said "What the bloody hell just happened?!"

Draco cleared his throat and looked at Harry "Harry what did you say your god brother's last name was?"

"I didn't." Harry replied dryly. "It's Black." Harry said in a curt voice that made Draco frown at him. Why was Harry mad?

"Draco's last name is Malfoy?" Cole said finally rejoining the conversation. He looked at Harry eyes intense.

"Yeah and? Is someone going to tell me what is going on around here?" Harry asked.

"We're related." Draco sighed. "That jolt of power was my magic calling to his, you know kin to kin and all that."

Harry stared at Draco in shock, before quickly checking himself. "So you two are what? Cousins?" he asked.

"Yes, second cousins actually. My mother and his father are cousins if my guess is correct. His father is Sirius Black, yes?" Draco asked. Harry nodded not quite sure what to say or how to feel about this new information.

"Since this was our first time meeting, our magic synced. It happens whenever one meets a relative for the first time." Cole spoke frowning at the wall and Harry knew that he was deep in thought by the way his hand was absently running through his locks.

"Why would that happen?" Harry asked.

"Well it used to be a way to find a suitable match." Draco muttered. He wasn't looking at either of the boys.

"A suitable match?! Within your own family?!" Harry asked this revelation surprising him.

"Yes. Purebloods tend to be selfish and like to keep their magic and their possessions within their own family. Therefore it is not uncommon that a pureblood would marry a distant cousin or some other relative." Draco shook his head. "While this does make the magic run stronger in the genes, it also resulted in the diminishing of our race." Draco had a look on his face that Harry didn't understand.

"Anyway!" Cole said suddenly. "I think we should be going!" His face brightening. Harry knew that there was more to what was going on than either of them was letting on, but he decided if they didn't want to talk about it, then neither did he. Besides he could always torture either one of them enough to make them talk, at any time if he wanted to.

Draco visibly pushed the subject from his mind and took Harry's hand. "Are you ready to go? I imagine you don't know how to travel by floo and so you'll be going through with me."

Harry reddened but nodded. "I have to go tell my parent's that we're leaving." Draco nodded as both Harry and Cole left the room. "You didn't have to come too, Cole." Harry spoke.

"I know, but I'd rather not be left alone with him." Cole said darkly. Harry abruptly stopped, Cole who had been right behind him, walked into his back.

"What's wrong, Cole?" Harry asked. He assumed his big brother voice and said "I'm only going to ask once."

"I'll…tell you later Harry." Cole said shaking his head. Harry sighed and didn't say anything, he just silently starting walking again.

Finding both his parents in the living room he called to them that he was leaving. They told him to be careful and with that Harry and Cole made their way back to Draco.

"Ready then?" Draco asked. Both boys nodded. Draco pulled a small pouch from the pocket of his khaki colored slacks. He opened it and offered whatever was in it to Cole.

Cole reached a hand in and pulled out some kind of powder or dust. Harry looked at them both quizzically. "Just watch Harry." Cole said starting a fire with a flick of his wand. He threw the powder into the fire and called "Diagon Alley!" Cole stepped into the fire and disappeared.

"It's floo powder Harry. It's another way for wizards to travel, besides brooms and apparation." Draco said before taking a handful of floo powder and Harry's hand. Following what Cole had done, Draco pulled Harry into fireplace and like that they were gone from the Potter residence.

Harry found that he didn't really enjoy using floo powder, for numerous reasons. They all came out in the Leaky Cauldron. People greeted them hello but otherwise didn't say much and they went unnoticed by most.

"Pansy and Blaise should be in the area by now." Draco muttered. He looked around for them. "I told them to wait outside the Leaky Cauldron"

"There they are!" Harry said spotting the two making their way towards them from his left.

"Hey there, half-pint!" Blaise said coming up to Harry and making fun of his height. Harry huffed and brushed away the hand that had reached up to ruffle his already wild hair.

Pointedly ignoring Blaise, Harry pushed past him to engulf Pansy in a hug. "Hey Pansy!" he exclaimed. "How have you been?" he asked.

"Meh." Pansy said shrugging and waving off the comment. "I've been okay. I took a crack at our summer homework but eventually I said screw the bloody homework. I'll do it the last week before break is over."

Harry shook his head smiling "Not a good idea."

"Harry?" Blaise questioned from behind him.

"Oh Blaise, when did you get here?" Harry smirked when Blaise clearly bristled. Laughing Harry walked to Blaise and hugged him as well. He whispered so only Blaise could hear "Don't call me short. Remember that." Harry pulled away while Blaise narrowed his eyes and tried resist smiling but he failed.

Cole cleared his throat, purposefully. Harry remembering his manners said " Blaise, Pansy this is my god brother Cole Black." Harry said remembering to include last names this time, no more long lost family surprises today, he hoped. "Cole this Blaise Zabini, and Pansy Parkinson." Harry pointed to each of them respectively.

"Pleasure to meet both of you!" Cole beamed at them.

"The pleasure is all ours." Blaise responded, politely.

Pansy eyed him in a way that Harry found familiar. "He's cute Harry just like you!" Pansy exclaimed and Draco groaned at her.

"Well it's not a surprise that you think he's cute, I mean he and Draco do share some genes." Harry muttered and his voice sounded sour to his own ears. But everyone else had mistaken it for sarcasm.

"What?" Blaise asked and Draco looked away. Cole didn't look as if he were going to volunteer the information either. Blaise and Pansy turned to Harry wide eyed.

"Apparently Draco and Cole are second cousins." Harry sighed, he figured it was better to get the weirdness over and done.

"Well fancy that." Pansy said and continued "Cuteness runs in your family Draco." Draco looked at her with a stare that said 'well of course'.

Cole sensing that situation wasn't going to get any less awkward asked "So where are we off to first?"

Draco smirked and said "Well I was thinking that we could go see one those muggle movies." Draco smiled as he air quoted the word 'movies'.

Harry tilted his head looking speculatively and he responded "In a world full of magic, you want to see a movie?"

"Well Harry I've never seen one." Draco replied. Harry understood, something that seemed rather average to him was probably exciting to the others who had grown up in the wizarding world and hadn't been exposed to such things. He imagined they felt something like Harry did when he first came to the wizarding world. Awed and fascinated.

"Alright then, I know there's a movie theatre around here somewhere." Harry said to the rest of them. "Do you guys have any muggle money?" he asked. Harry's parents had made sure he had a hefty amount of both wizard money and muggle money.

"Yes, actually and I must say I looks really strange." Harry shrugged as he made his way out of Diagon Alley and into muggle London. He knew the theatre wasn't far from the Leaky Cauldron and so he didn't worry much about getting lost. In a matter of minutes they came upon their destination. Harry turned to ask them all what kind of movie they wanted to see and instantly regretted it. His friends erupted into an argument in no time, about what kind of movie they should go to see.

Harry sighed and said "Okay never mind I'll pick. You all, seriously." He said shaking his head. He bought tickets for them all. The movie he had chosen was supposed to be a scary thriller and everyone agreed to it. Or rather no one went against Harry's decision.

They walked into the theatre and towards the concession stand. Draco tried to buy everything there was on the menu. "Draco how would you carry of all of it?" Harry asked smirking at the blond.

"Carry it?" Draco asked frowning in confusion.

"Uh you have to carry the food to your seat on your own, no one brings it to you and this isn't Hogwarts it doesn't appear in your lap like magic." Harry replied looking at Draco with a wry expression.

"Hmm…interesting yet it seems somehow sophomoric." the blond replied.

"Whatever, just make a purchase and get moving." Cole said to the blond. Draco huffed and turned his attention back to person behind the counter. After ten minutes they made their way toward their theatre. Finding it, they found seats with a good view of the screen. Draco almost threw a fit when Pansy had tried to sit next Harry, where he had apparently been planning to sit.

Harry rolled his eyes, but couldn't help the smile that crept onto his features. The movie proceeded and everyone in their group, including the ones that had seen movies before were enthralled by the detailed story and the fast paced action of the film. By the end Harry noticed that Draco and Blaise were both on the edges of their seats. They both sighed at the bad ending in which the villain wasn't dead and the heroine is. Shaking his head Harry stood signaling to the others that they should be making their way out of the theater.

"That was interesting to say the least." Draco said in a voice that to others would have sounded bored

Blaise snorted despite his upbringing and said "Please, you were as scared and excited as everyone else there, if not more so!"

"Well, hell. It's pretty hard not to be when every ten second there's a huge bang and another headless body popping up!" Draco retorted folding his arm, his lip pursed just a little and Harry found he thought it cute. Looping his arm through Draco's, he and the blond walked side by side in front of the rest of the group.

Not one to be left out of anything Cole looped his arm through Harry's other arm. "Didn't forget me did you?" the youngest of the group asked.

"Don't think we could if we tried." Draco muttered.

"True but why you try, I'm the bees-knees. Without me all life ceases to exist." Cole said over dramatically and Harry laughed. That was one thing Harry noticed that Cole and Draco had in common, their narcissism knew no bounds.

"Somehow I doubt that since I'm the center of the universe." Draco retorted, smirking.

Blaise took Draco's other arm and said "Maybe the center of your own world." His eyes rolled for all the world to see and both Pansy and Harry laughed.

Pansy who had happily taken Cole's free arm said "I wouldn't mind having Draco as the center of my world." she blew raspberries at the blond.

Draco's face creased in disgust before everyone else laughed. "So anyone hungry?" Harry asked as they made their way back to Diagon Alley.

"Not for real food, but I could go for some ice cream!" Pansy yelled. Everyone else quickly agreed and they made their way to the ice cream shop they knew was in Diagon Alley. Once they obtained their treats they sat down at a table inside the shop, at first they were all too wrapped up in tasting their desserts to say anything. But that didn't last long.

"So how come you and Draco never knew each other before now?" Pansy asked of Cole, very suddenly. Draco resisted the urge to hex the girl, honestly she had no tact at all, and could sometime be very nosy.

Cole flushed red looking at Harry nervously, obviously not sure he should answer. Harry looked back at Cole intensely before sighing gesturing that he would have to make the decision himself.

Making up his mind Cole answered "Because my father's family…well let's just say they don't like him very much. They don't approve of his past decisions." Cole muttered looking down at his ice cream.

"Really?" Pansy stated more than asked and she looked pensive for a second or two. "Is your father Sirius Black?"

Cole sighed and took a spoonful of vanilla, chocolate swirl into his mouth. He begrudgingly answered "Yes." he voice was tight and Harry sensed it. Harry shot Pansy a look, which she shrugged off.

"Sorry. It's just that I've been to the Black family manor before and he was one of the few on the family tree that were… burnt off. When I asked Draco's mother what happened to him she told Draco and I that he was dead to the Black family. That's how I guessed who you're father was." Pansy made eye contact with Cole hoping that he would understand.

He did but that didn't mean it didn't hurt to hear. His father was the 'shame' of his own family. Draco had been silent the entire time, only a tightening around his eye showed that he was affected at all.

Blaise not liking the stiff atmosphere that had descended upon them exhaled and asked Cole "So you're attending Hogwarts this coming fall correct?"

At that Cole's expression instantly brightened and he nodded before he and Blaise began talking about what the coming year might be like.

Harry ignored their friendly conversation and his emerald gaze settled on Draco and they did not stray. He had noticed that every time the topic of his and Cole's being related came up he become solemn and unusually quiet. Harry didn't like it one bit and he felt as if they were keeping something from him, with him being the ever curious one he had to know what it was.

Making up his mind Harry grabbed Draco's hand and pulled him off to the loo. Draco obliged and didn't protest one bit, he had seen it coming.

"Draco what the bloody hell is wrong with you? You can tell me anything, and you know that!" Harry spat looking up at the taller blond, wondering what had him in such a mood.

"Harry it's complicated and it's something I don't think you'll like too much if I told you." Draco replied before going completely silent. He turned his gaze away from the dark haired boy.

Harry narrowed his eyes, and they began to fill with uncontrolled power, they glowed like emeralds transfigured into fire. Draco felt the rush of Harry's magic and knew the boy was angry and truly pissed. The blond began to sweat nervously as Harry backed him into the wall of the bathroom. Eyes still blazing Harry muttered "Tell me, Draco, or so help me I'll turn you gonads into slugs and make you eat them!"

Grimacing Draco slumped and spoke "Harry remember what I told about purebloods earlier."

Power ebbing slightly Harry spoke slowly "Yes I remember."

"Well the magic found Cole and I to be suitable matches for each other." Draco turned his gaze away and his face went blank. Harry quickly noticed that this must be Draco's defense mechanism.

Feeling his body react to the news in a strange way, Harry whispered, his voice low and tight with anger "What?"

"It's true." Cole said suddenly in the bathroom as well. He ran his hand through hair trying but failing to look apathetic.

"So what does this mean?" Harry asked, he was starting to sweat and his breathing was becoming ragged. He'd never felt so angry and he couldn't tell why. The adrenaline running through him had his magic seeping from him in sporadic waves.

"It means that one day Draco and I might be…" Cole paused not sure how to continue. He knew Harry wouldn't admit to it, but he liked Draco, a lot. Cole could tell from the minute he'd seen the boys interact with each other. Both were too young yet, but 'it' was there.

"We might be joined, in union, as in married." Draco finally found his voice again.

"But, you're both boys and you're family!" Harry exclaimed and his power spiked causing the toilets to overflow with water and one of the sinks exploded.

Cole frowned but said "Neither of those things are uncommon in the wizarding world Harry. As is apparent by my fathers, wizards can conceive children together, so can witches but that's a lot more complicated and not as common. Brother, you really need to calm yourself." Harry looked from Draco and then to Cole, his eyes widening as their words sunk in.

Sensing that Harry wasn't going to calm down on his own Cole strolled to his brother letting his magic ride his body as well. In his storm grey eyes it was apparent that he was a pureblood, as his orbs surged with the magic of his forefathers. His eyes glowed as well and every few moments they flashed a bright light as if a lightning storm was surging behind his pupils.

Cole took his brother into his arms and willed him to calm down. Cole's magic overpowered Harry's. It was relatively easy since, Cole had control over his power and Harry was allowing his to run amuck.

Draco watched as Harry sagged in his god brother's arms. He was out cold. Draco could have done the same thing but for two reason he hadn't. One he was too deep in his brooding to help Harry and for some reason he got the feeling that Harry wouldn't want to be touched by him at the moment.

But as he watched Cole let his magic loose he was fascinated. He really did have Black blood in him. Only a Black family member's eyes glowed with power like that. All pureblood's eyes held power when their magic was loosed but each family's show of power(1) was different.

Draco had seen his mother's power show once before and it had been exactly the same as Cole's. Draco finally snapping out of his stupor, walked the short distances to the two god brothers. He took Harry from Cole with an ease that told the conscious brunette that he picked Harry up before.

"Well this is bloody great." Draco muttered looking down at Harry's now calm sleeping face. "I've seen Harry's power show before but not like that. I've never seen him lose control like that either." he added softly. Cole frowned at his cousin but said nothing as he lead the blond back out into the shop.

"What happened?!" Pansy demanded to know automatically. She rushed to the three boys while Blaise silently observed the scene.

"Harry gave us a rather nasty power show in the bathroom." Draco explained ambiguously. Even though they had reached the table he continued to hold Harry, sitting down at the table gingerly.

"What in Merlin's beard did you do to make him lose control like that? You made him mad didn't you?!" Blaise finally said. Draco's gaze wondered away from everyone else at the accusation.

"Look it wasn't my fault. I told him he wouldn't what he forced me to tell him. Hell, he was pulling a power show before I even told him. He was already royally pissed." Draco explained and Cole sighed from his seat.

"Should we take him home?" Pansy asked. She looked worried, she vaguely remembered the last time she'd given a power show, she'd been out for hours.

"No, my brother will be awake in about ten seconds." Cole spoke knowingly. True to his brother's word Harry stirred and his eyes fluttered open.

"Ugh, my head." Harry said his hand going to his face, to keep his glasses from falling and to keep the light from making his head hurt any worse. He shook his head and felt the pain ebb. He took in his surroundings and noticed that he was sitting on, Draco.

Harry instantly remembered what had happened and without saying a thing got up from Draco's lap. He went to go sit on the other side of Blaise. Draco frowned but didn't protest.

"What could you possibly have told him to make him go ballistic?" Pansy ever the tactless one asked.

"I'm awake now Pansy. Don't talk about me like I'm not here or rather like I'm not awake." Harry muttered tiredly.

Pansy had the grace to blush and look apologetic.

Cole shrugged and said "We told him that Draco and I could one day be…" Cole repeated what he had said earlier.

"Could be what?" Blaise eyed them suspiciously, the dark featured boy already had a pretty good idea what they would say.

"Could be…married." Draco said softly. Pansy, who had been watching Harry saw him stiffen and bow his head slightly but he remained calm and very quiet.

Wanting Harry to cheer up Pansy exclaimed "That can only happen if your father's except that the magic has chosen you two for each other. Somehow I doubt either of your fathers will approve of this at all so, there's really nothing to worry about." Harry looked up and saw everyone else at the table agree. All the purebloods at the table turned to look at Harry, to make sure he understood. He smiled weakly and nodded at them perceptively. Harry made a silent vow to learn as much about pureblood culture as he could, he hated feeling like he was finding things out at the last minute.

"I uh think Cole and I should be heading home." Harry muttered lowly even though everyone could hear him. Everyone else made their miscellaneous agreements as they left the ice cream shop.

Pansy turned to Harry "I'll see you later okay?" she said not waiting for a response, she pulled the raven haired boy into a hug. Harry hugged back.

"Owl me, okay?" Blaise questioned Harry. Harry nodded as his arms wrapped around Blaise too.

Pansy and Blaise turned to Cole and bid him goodbye as well, they surprised the younger boy when Pansy embraced him and Blaise ruffled his hair familiarly.

With that Pansy and Blaise broke away from the group and the three remaining boys made their way back to the Leaky Cauldron. Once there Draco offered his cousin some floo powder. Taking some of the powder from the blond Cole said "Well see around, cousin." Draco nodded at the brunette. Cole called out "Potter residence!" throwing the powder into the fire and disappearing into it.

"Do you need help getting home, or can you do it yourself now?" Draco asked warily. He knew Harry still wasn't happy and didn't want the boy to loose his magic again.

"No I don't need your help, Draco." Harry said bitingly, not really sure why he was so mad. He took some of the powder and followed Cole's example. He hadn't even said goodbye to Draco. The blond sighed as he made his way home as well.

The rest of the summer was decidedly fun, for Harry and his friends continually met over the following weeks for days of leisure. Cole frequently came along with Harry and soon the boy felt welcomed in Harry's circle of friends.

Harry and Draco weren't getting along all that well at the moment but the rest of the group pretended not to noticed. The summer drew to a close and soon it was time for all of them, including Cole, to prepare for the coming school year at Hogwarts. Harry had a feeling it would be another interesting, exciting and somewhat dangerous year, as he laid his head down the night before they were to board the Hogwarts Express.

End of Chapter

Okay so we have another long chapter. I really wanted to fit in the start of second year but eh I guess that'll have to wait until the next chapter. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, I did. Some interesting things are taking place and the story's going to get more complicated lol. Uh I think that's about it for now, hope to get reviews from you guys and I hope that you keep reading!

(1) Power show or Show of Power: In my version of the Potterverse purebloods have the ability to let their full magic loose. They are able to do considerably more powerful magic in this state and it is usually illustrated by glowing eyes and wand less magic. The stronger the power show more the pure the wizard's blood, at least that's the theory. (Harry's not a pureblood but he can show power…O_O Hope you'll stick around to find out why!)
