Notes: An abused boy finds out he's a wizard and a hero; his tormented mind rebels. One person sees through the misconceptions to the real Harry and treats him the way he deserves. How does this change them both and those around them?

For kittenishone who begged me for an update, I'm sure this wasn't quite what you had in mind but it's what's happened next.


Chapter 11- Changes

August 10, 1996

Remus was reading the Daily Prophet at the breakfast table in Wisteria Lanes, he yelped in surprise, "What! Emmeline? Emmeline Vance is dead?"

Severus dropped his fork, "What!" taking the newspaper so forcefully he tore it, glaring at the article. He remembered her from school, he was sure she'd been a Ravenclaw as well as a member of the Order of the Phoenix.

'This reporter is sad to announce that Auror Emmeline Vance is dead. Her body was discovered by fellow Aurors last night. Apparently Auror Vance died trying to save Muggles from Death Eaters. Despite rumours that many Death Eaters were killed or captured last month at the Ministry it seems that there are

In a small article well hidden was mention of a discovery of a body believed to be that of Igor Karkaroff. He had been dead some months and apparently died after being tortured. "So, the punishment of his followers who abandoned him rather then return to his side had begun." He had better warn Lucius to be careful.

Remus hugged Severus, "I'll die before I let him harm you or our sons."

"Let's hope it doesn't come to that." Severus said quietly, after nearly two years with Remus he would hate to put their future on the line by putting his Bondmate in a position he would have to fight with Death Eaters.

Severus had been overseeing the removal of McGonagall's things from the Headmistress' tower back to her former rooms near Gryffindor Tower. The announcement was also in this issue of the Daily Prophet. Severus had been forced to learn to commune with Hogwarts itself to convince it to enlarge the Headmaster's quarters to accommodate his and Remus' things including his lab and private potions supply cupboard. He'd written to Slughorn requesting him to take over as Head of Slytherin and resident Potions Master. Hogwarts was the safest place for the old man, his former professor and Head of House. If Slughorn refused he'd try to convince Andromeda to take over, while not quite his level, he knew from her covering of his classes while he was too far along in his pregnancy to brew that she was a more then adequate instructor. Being the former acknowledged 'Queen' of Slytherin she would no doubt make an Excellent Head of House. Draco would have done well under her but he was an early graduate as were Fred, George, Blaise, Hermione and Harry. They were far too young to instruct their peers.

The research into the Horcruxes and how to destroy them weren't going so well. The only known way to destroy a Horcrux was with Basilisk Venom. Severus had managed due to both his own genius and painstaking labour to create the only known antidote to Basilisk Venom that did incorporate Phoenix tears that were generously shed by Benia, Draco's Phoenix familiar.

August 15, 1996

Draco opened the Daily Prophet and whistled before reading.

"McGonagall resigns, Severus Prince appointed Headmaster."

Harry looked up from feeding Artemis, "Really?"

"Former Headmistress Minerva McGonagall announced that her healer recommended her to reduce her stress following a heart attack this past June. She wrote to the Board of Governors requesting to be reinstated at Hogwarts' Transfiguration Professor. She resigned as Headmistress of Hogwarts effective yesterday.

An excerpt from her announcement.

'For health reasons, I am afraid that I must resign as Headmistress of Hogwarts. Since professor Sirius Black had to leave mid-term I was teaching his classes as well as seeing to my own duties as headmistress. The position is still vacant and I would like to retake my former post. It is my belief that Severus Prince; Deputy Headmaster, Head of Slytherin and resident Potions Master is ready to be Head Master. Research has always been his favourite pastime and as headmaster he would have more time for it. As for Professor Remus Lupin-Prince I find that he is performing the duties of Head of House admirably and I have no need to resume that office. Therefore I request that either Filius Flitwick or Remus be appointed Deputy Headmaster.

Sincerely, Minerva McGonagall

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Headmistress

March 1992- August 1996'

Harry beamed, "I knew he'd be Headmaster!"

Draco laughed, "Now that we're not there he can't be accused of favouritism."

Harry snorted, "As if professor Snape the infamous dungeon bat would be capable of such a thing."

Draco was laughing hysterically, "dungeon bat? That is so rich!"

Harry kissed him, "I'm glad we don't have school anymore. We get to be to normal for a bit."

Draco's heart twisted, normal? They would never be normal but they could still be happy in their own way. They had two beautiful babies and each other as well as a large family that just kept growing.

August 19, 1996

Hermione faints

Hermione yawned taking sips of coffee as she poured over books on curses.

Blaise walked in to the Manor Library, "Hey 'Mione. What are you researching?"

Hermione yawned, "Curses."

"Still can't figure out how to undo the phoenix curse?"

Hermione shook her head, rubbing her eyes, "No."

"You look exhausted." Blaise said as he examined her face.

Hermione winced, "Thanks." She'd been having terribly erotic dreams since waking up after Harry's birthday party naked with Viktor.

"Have you been sleeping at all?"

Hermione sighed, "I'm in bed with my eyes closed. Thought I very much doubt you could call it restful sleep."

Blaise took a seat behind her, "Is everything alright? Have you talked to Viktor?"

Hermione blushed, "We…write…"

Blaise groaned, "Have you talked about it?"

Hermione hid her face in her hands, "How? We wanted to wait. Then we wake up on the Abbey's lawn surrounded by naked couples? Merlin he…" had still been inside her…she shoved him off, hastily repaired her clothes, dressed and ran. Immediately, diving into the floo and returning to the Manor to run up to her room there. She'd scrubbed her skin raw before crumpling to the floor of the shower sobbing. Her thighs had been sprinkled with blood and semen. Her lips had been bruised and she'd been covered in love bites. There had been a humungous hickey on her right breast.

Blaise sighed, "Oh 'Mione. Do you really regret it? Or do you regret that you don't remember it?"

A sob escaped her lips, "I want to! I wanted to wait until I was seventeen. He was going to propose officially. We were going to be Bonded. We'd go on a lovely honeymoon somewhere warm like Italy. And then…and then…"

Blaise hugged her, "I'm sorry. I can't understand how it would feel if my first time with Charlie was like that. Oh 'Mione. I wish I could do something to help…" he felt life inside her, his eyes filled with tears. He was jealous and he hated himself for it. That Harry's birthday party during the orgy had been the first time he'd let Charlie make love to him since Ron defiled him by destroying his womb.

Hermione rocked, "It's not fair…"

Blaise kissed her temple, ""Mione, did you ask mother to examine to make sure you weren't hurt?" afterwards they'd been examined to find they showed traces of a lust potion.

Hermione choked on sob, "He wouldn't…Viktor wouldn't…"

Blaise sighed, "I know he wouldn't if he was in his right mind but he wasn't. you should have see him. He looked so ill, like he would be sick muttering apologies in Russian and Bulgarian."

Hermione cried harder, "Oh Viktor…I'm sorry…"

Blaise lifted her chin, "You're a woman. Just to be sure…will you let mother look at you?"

Hermione's face lost colour, "You don't think. Mother would kill me…."

Blaise snapped at her, "It wouldn't be your fault! I'm sure Muggles have something like lust potions where all inhibitions get through aside."

"Date…rape…drugs…" Hermione gasped.

Blaise nodded, "Tell your parents all of us were dosed at Harry's party with the magic equivalent along with aphrodisiac. I'm sure they'll understand." He called for a house elf.

Stria appeared, "Master Blaise?"

Blaise gave them a wane smile, "Can you ask mother to her at her earliest convenience?"

The elf nodded and left.

Blaise tried to calm his friend down.

It was nearly fifteen minutes before Narcissa joined them.

"What's the matter loves?"

Blaise said quietly, "Can you make sure Hermione's alright? She hasn't been sleeping well since Harry's birthday party."

Narcissa whipped out her wand tittering, "Who could blame her? What a nasty trick putting lust potion in the drinks. Poor Neville and Coraline were sobbing most pitifully. I had to sedate them. Adrian looked like he'd faint when Augusta showed up to find out why her grandson hadn't made it home. He was apologizing and begging for forgiveness. Proof that we'd all been dosed was the only thing that made her forgive him. Poor Dennis was beside himself; he thought he'd hurt Coraline. They were too young, lust potions aren't supposed to be used on children. I'd like to give that monster a piece of my mind!" her jaw dropped and she was silently, "Dear hear…I'm so sorry…"

Blaise nodded, "I thought so. I just wanted to be sure…."

Hermione sniffed, "Sure of what?"

Narcissa took her hand, "Hermione dear, you're almost three weeks pregnant. I used a highly sensitive spell to be sure."

Hermione's eyes rolled back into her heard and she collapsed in Blaise's arms.

Blaise sighed, "I was expecting that."

Narcissa shook her head; "I'll put her to bed."

Blaise nodded, "I'll firecall Viktor. He'll have to be told. Hermione won't be in any shape to tell him."

Narcissa conjured a stretcher and levitated poor girl onto it. She'd given Coraline an oral contraceptive potion immediately after examining her just to be sure. Considering how fertile her brother and mother were Narcissa had refused to take chances. Remus has sworn that Harry's been conceived on their wedding night. Oh why hadn't she thought to give Hermione the same?

XoooooX

Blaise went to the nearest floo that wasn't in the library; he went to Narcissa's music room. Why? It was a calming place. He tossed in the powder and called out the address. He stuck his head in the floo, calling out in Russian, "Is anyone there?"

A sound of hurrying feet were heard.

"Yes? Who is it?" was the reply in Russian.

Blaise asked quickly, "Is Viktor there?"

"He is in his room. Won't come out."

Blaise sighed, "Did he tell you what happened?"

"No. Was it very bad?"

Blaise nodded, "The worst you might say. Someone put lust potion in the drinks at Harry's birthday party. It seemed to affect everyone."

"So they…"

"Had sex? Yes. I need to speak to Viktor. Might I come through?"

"Yes."

Blaise grabbed more floo powder tossed it in and entered the floo.

He was greeted with kisses on both cheeks, "You are Blaise?"

Blaise nodded, "And you are?"

"Viktor's bearer, Nebojsa Krum."

"I wish I could pause to chat but it is very important I speak to Viktor."

The man bowed, "Of course. I'll show you to his rooms."

Blaise let himself be escorted.

They paused in front of an oak door.

Nebojsa gestured, "You're welcome to try but I can't get him to answer."

Blaise beat on the door, shouting, "Viktor? Open this door. Now! We've got to talk. It's about your angel."

The door was ripped open, "What's wrong? Is she hurt?"

Blaise sighed, "She's hurting. We need to talk. In private."

Viktor moved aside, "Come in."

Blaise heard the door shut behind him.

The room was a mess; everything in it had been destroyed.

Blaise muttered a spell and it was all put to rights. He took a seat at Viktor's desk. "You're both acting shamefully. Hiding instead of talking about this. Yes something awful happened. You and Hermione love each other too much to let this incident separate you. Viktor she'll be angry with me but I must tell you. She's pregnant, it must have happened during the effects of the lust potion. She didn't know how to deal with the news and fainted. She's not sleeping well…"

Viktor stared at him and then whispered, "Pregnant? Bludgers and Snidgets! What do I tell our parents?"

Blaise glared, "Be a man about. It's your child. She's your lover now. You know you'll Bond to her. It's not exactly as neat as you planned but it's got to be done. The sooner the better. I would bond quickly, like her birthday next month. Take time off from your teams. Go on a long honeymoon. Come back, set up your house. Let everyone think you waited until her seventeenth birthday. None of our kids were born when they were expected just look at Uncle Severus and Harry. Everyone will think the baby is early. You've been courting over a year and a half, you have no need of a long engagement."

"What about…"

"You can tell your parents the truth or not. It's up to you. I'll only tell Charlie because I keep no secrets from him. Mother might tell father but I don't know and it's naught to do with me." Blaise said sharply. "Now get up. Bathe. Where is the ring you've obviously bought already?"

Viktor nonverbally summoned a small ring box.

"See? All you have to do is propose. I'd tell you to elope but mother would be furious. So you'll have to be Bonded properly. It will be up to you what that will entail."

"Parents first?" the Bulgarian Seeker asked in a stammering voice.

Blaise shrugged, "Whatever you feel is right." Spinning on his heel to leave Viktor make his own choice.

He liked Viktor, Hermione was like a sister and they had both deserved better then to receive this turn of fate.


What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
