Chapter 10

The three young men arrived in Severus' 'rooms'. The fact was, Severus didn't stay at Hogwarts at night, but it was required that all the teachers had their own chambers. This meant that he had rooms that only had a couch and a desk in them. Harry looked around and shook his head at the bareness of it. He felt sorry for almost anyone that walked in. It wasn't like Severus to keep something so empty. Yet, as Harry looked around, he almost missed Viktor standing next to the fireplace. He hadn't thought that the young man would be there, or at least not before them anyways.

Severus took note of Harry's startled look and walked over. He gave his son a hug, as that's who Harry was to him. He had adopted the boy long before marrying Sirius; the marriage had just made it official. Viktor cleared his throat and gained the attention of everyone in the room. They looked at him, waiting for what he had to say. Viktor gave them a smile. "I'm sorry that you all need to come here. There's something important that we need to speak about. I know that it's a shock that I'm here. I work hard to keep my status as a student hidden from the papers. They wouldn't like it if they knew." He stopped talking. The others nodded, for they knew that the British papers would treat it like a scandal. Viktor looked over his shoulder and then back at them. "I know that I'm likely to be chosen as a champion. Karkaroff is making sure that I put my name in, even though I told him that I don't want the responsibility. The only problem is that I must listen to my headmaster." He shook his head. "Yet, I wanted to tell you that my king's spies have heard that Voldemort plans to make a move during the tournament. They believe that the reason for this move is because he wants to make you pay for killing that Lestrange woman." He looked at them intently.

Severus stiffened even more and kept a hold of Harry. He was quite aware of the danger that put them in. None of them had thought that Voldemort would openly attack them, but there were a lot of things that they didn't know about the man. Harry shook his head and put a hand on Severus' arm. That action got Severus to loosen his hold. Harry wanted to ask more questions, but there was something that stopped him. Severus looked at Viktor. "Have your spies heard the exact reasoning behind this?"

Viktor shrugged and appeared to think about what he was going to say. "Well, they haven't heard a lot. However, they have heard rumours saying that he wants to get what the woman promised him. What they then heard was that he was promised your prince." He looked right at Harry as he said that one. That caused the young prince's eyes to pop out of his head at the statement. The very idea that Voldemort would want him in some way that wasn't dead was very disturbing. Draco came over to Harry and put an arm around the teen. This had the effect of pulling him away from Severus. Severus let the boy do so. He knew that the two had started the courting process and was fine with it. It was something that obviously made the two quite content.

Draco kept a hold of Harry. "Harry's mine." Harry couldn't fight the smile that was spreading across his face at those words. He liked that Draco was being possessive; especially when he knew that he would do the exact same thing if he was in Draco's position. Of course, it then hit him that Bellatrix had apparently promised Draco to Pansy. It began to make more and more sense that it was highly likely that the woman had made such promises. It was one of those moments that made him even happier that she was dead, which was still something that he wouldn't normally say.

Blaise made a noise that drew everyone's attention towards him. He shook his head. "You know, Bellatrix Lestrange seems to have made quite a few promises that weren't things that she could deliver on." The others nodded. Harry closed his eyes and focused on something else. Draco immediately noticed Harry's change in demeanour and touched the prince's shoulder.

Harry's eyes snapped open. He looked at the others. "We'll just have to keep a secure eye out." The others nodded in response to that.

Severus pulled Harry from Draco and kissed his head. "You all need to get back to your rooms. I have to go back to Sirius now." The other four nodded. Moments later, the group left the rooms. They were silent as they left, but that was normal.

A/N: Well, here's chapter 10. Hm…Voldemort might want Harry. That's a little disturbing. Hope you all enjoy. Later.
