Thanks for all the ideas for what to make Harry.

Harry awoke the next day to a comforting weight on his legs. He recognized it almost immediately; it was Padfoot. The teen laid there in shock as he mentally went over what had happened yesterday.
He had been called by Dumbledore a second time which was odd; he was rarely called at all. He had found his thought dead godfather, alive and now enslaved to the mad old coot.
He tensed as he remembered his words promising to talk of things long over due. He had to speak openly of his loyalties that up until now could only be speculated, it was plausible that he could also break down and tell the everyone what he was. He knew now, or at least had a hunch.
His idea unfortunately could only be proved or disproved the day of his birth. Harry shook his head to rid himself of his thoughts.
Sitting up he shoved the dog lightly and snickered when he whined and rolled over. "Come on you over grown puppy, I want breakfast and answers."
Padfoot growled lightly, but changed back into Sirius. "So godson of mine are you going to tell me why we are at Malfoy Manor, you seem to get along with both the Malfoy's and Snape," He paused slightly, "Why I have a slave mark from Albus Dumbledore the leader of the Light?"
Harry sighed, "I'll get to that, first breakfast."
After getting dressed and finding something for Sirius they began the trek to the Malfoy dining hall. They got there rather quickly besides the fact Sirius had to stop and annoy any portrait he recognized.

Draco was glaring at Zabini from where he sat at the table between his father and godfather when Harry walked in.
"Morning Potter." He greeted.
"Hi Harry." Zabini said with out looking up, "Hello Mr. Black."
Sirius winced at the name, "Sirius, kid, call me Sirius. I've told you that before."
"Malfoy," Harry greeted back with a smirk at his godfather's discomfort, "Snape, Mr. Malfoy."
Sirius rolled his eyes at his godson's antics but sat down next to him. "So you and the little blond are to be mated?"
Harry nodded as he took a drink of his tea. "Yes, I'm feeling up to any and all questions at the moment so ask now or forever hold your peace."
The Malfoys and Sirius looked confused at the muggle phrase but Blaise, being Harry's friend, and Snape a half-blood rolled their eyes and sneered. "He means ask now or don't at all." Blaise droned like he was in Professor Binns the History of Magic professor.
The eldest Malfoy nodded and began the questions why finishing his tea. "I know you will not follow the Dark Lord and refuse to follow Dumbledore, so what is left?
Harry raised an eyebrow; "I am not partial to the Ministry as you well know."
Sirius smirked, "Damn straight." Blaise snickered.
Harry shook his head and continued, "I am a very important figure correct?" Everyone nodded, "I told you once I was gray but we both know that isn't acceptable." Harry sighed and took a bit of his breakfast. "I have enough power to stand up to both of them at the moment, but my control and lack of experience would get me killed."
Draco blinked, "You have that much power?" Harry nodded. The blond inhaled sharply, "You could wage war on both of them you know. It wouldn't be easy but I think it could be done."
"It could." Snape said as he stared at the Potter Lord. "Get the right backing and you could start a four way war."
Harry smiled, "That right Professor. That is what I plan to do."
Lucius frowned, "How do you plan to get this backing?" The blonde's face was impassive and Harry felt his smile grow.
"I already have the backing of at least two prominent families, Potter and Black." Harry stated.
"You have the backing of the Zabini family." Blaise said calmly. The Potter Lord smiled at his friend, "I will soon have the backing of the Longbottom and Lovegood families."
"How do you propose to get that backing Potter?" Snape sneered those families were almost died out. The Longbottom family had been hit hard by the Dark Lord and when Dumbledore got a hold of the heir something happened.
"I released Neville's full potential and managed to free his Grandmother of the Headmaster's loyalty spell, a simple one but a loyalty spell all the same." The Potter Lord said as if this was common knowledge.
"And how will you get the Lovegood family?" Draco prompted curiously.
Sirius spoke up, "Lovegood that's Luna family correct," he remembered meeting the rather odd girl once.
Blaise nodded for his friend as he taking a bite of his food, "They have always been close al he need to do is ask and she'll agree."
Both the Malfoy and Prince Lords raised an eyebrow. "You've been busy," Lucius remarked.
Harry nodded, "I have."
"So we know your side," Draco said after a few moments of silence, "Now what I want to know is what you are."
"I agree." The Zabini heir said sternly.
Sirius coughed, "You haven't told them?" he questioned.
Harry scowled, "No I'm not even totally sure what I am." He sneered lightly at his godfather, "But I bet you know."
The Black Lord nodded, "I do. You're a mix-breed." Harry gave his Godfather a look. "What exactly am I a mix of?" Harry asked wearily.
"Lily was a demon," Sirius said calmly. "I'm not sure what kind thought." He added at the end. Harry nodded (while ignoring the shocked responses of the other), "That's what I thought and Dad?"
Sirius smirked as if know the reaction, "Your dad was a Xolotl."
"James Potter was a Xolotl?" Severus shouted.
Lucius looked alarmed, "I thought they had died out." His voice revealed his nervousness that his face did not.
The three teens were confused. "A what?" Harry questioned.
Draco frowned, "I've never heard of an, Xolotl."
Blaise scowled at the adults. "What is he, Black? You didn't help at all."
The dark headed man chuckled and leaned back in his chair. "Every one of you that isn't Harry should feel honored. No one but Potters and those they considered family were told of the Potter family heritage."
Harry closed his eyes, "Tell us what you know Padfoot. Just get it over with."
Lucius, Severus and Sirius all frowned at the boy he seemed to be waiting to here the worst.
Blaise noticed as well he took the time to thump his friend, "Oi Potter, relax. I'm sure there's nothing wrong with being half Xolotl, what ever that is." The last part was muttered.
Harry shook his head never opening his eyes. "It has to be bad. You seen the way both Snape and Mr. Malfoy reacted."
Draco rolled his eyes. "Potter," The surprised Gryffindor looked at the blond, "If was too bad the manor wards would have tossed you out by now. Relax."
Harry managed a small upturn of his lips at Draco comment.
Sirius grinned, "Anyway, a Xolotl was a creature thought of as a god in both the Aztec and Toltec mythology. The creature was called The Animal, Lord of the Evening Star, and Lord of the Underworld. The creatures can control lightning and was said to be the one to take the dead to the afterlife."
Harry was wide eyed. "Whoa," He whispered the frowned, "Sirius that doesn't explain something though."
The dog animagus gave a smile, "What do want to know?"
Harry fidgeted nervously, "Why do I have wings?"
"You have wings?" Draco and Blaise shouted in unison.
Harry nodded rather sheepishly.
Lucius and Severus look to Sirius expectantly. "Well, Black why does he have wings?" Severus sneered.
Lord Black looked at his godson thoughtfully. "It has to be a demon thing. I don't know any thing about the Xolotl that would give you wings. Sorry."
Harry shook his head its okay, now more about my Xolotl half." Harry prompted.
Sirius shrugged and nodded, "Okay As you can tell from the names it was called you can tell you will have an affinity for night. I think James said that he could almost control fire. I'm not really sure how you almost control fire but, anyway, dogs you will be very good with dogs."
Severus smirked, "I see that's why he can put up with you Black."
Lucius hid a smile while Draco, Harry and Blaise snickered.
Sirius made a face at the dour potion's master. "I'm ignoring you, oh right in this one picture James showed me the Xolotl was depicted as a skeleton, a dog-headed man."
The Potter Lord inhale sharply, "I'm going to look like that?"
Padfoot snorted, "No. Don't worry."
Both Harry and to everyone's amusement Draco, sighed in relief.
Severus frowned though after a little thought, "What do you know about Lily's demon heritage?"
This time Sirius frowned. "Not a lot unfortunately. I know she was a kind of cat demon though. How she and James got together is beyond me. Got a long at school like a cat and a dog they did."
"So I'm part Dog god thing and part some kind of cat demon?" Harry questioned.
Sirius nodded smiling, "Yep."
Harry groaned and thumped his head onto the table. "Wonderful."
