Harry was outside sunbathing by the Black Lake in his Animagus form of a tiger. He had gotten sick of being cooped up in his chambers. After last night's revelations Draco and he had come to an agreement to no longer hide anything from each other and to work on their relationship. They had went to bed holding each other in their arms after some extensive snogging. He was awoken this morning by Draco's wand going off so he could attend classes but since he was dismissed for the remainder of the week he had stayed in bed. He heard Salazar giving free reign to his mate to come and go as he pleased and moments later both Godric and Salazar had entered his chambers. The two old ghosts had lots to say on the upcoming school year and what they thought he should do. He had become so annoyed with their nagging and interference during his recovery that he changed and apparated out of the chambers directly into the spot he currently was laying at.

He was laying in the sun in a clearing of magical vining maples next to the Black Lake. He had been pondering on his discussion with the founders he knew Rowena Ravenclaw would be awakening soon now that Draco had accepted him and he had told him that last night. He still wondered who Helga Hufflepuff's heir was but with his luck they would show up sooner or later. He had after an hour of sunbathing decided that he really should consider the founders suggestion of taking his N.E.W.T.S. He knew that he could pass them with easy and then continue on to his masters with apprenticing under Salazar and Godric even Rowena once she fully awoke. He would have to hold off on a few until Helga awoke and he could still study under Andy with Alchemy with the rest of the students.

He had started to drift off to sleep when the shuffling of feet grabbed his attention to someone's approach. Not knowing who it was as Draco was supposed to be in class he decided to feign sleeping. It surprised him when Hermione sat down next to his head and began petting his fur.

"I am sorry Harry. You have always been my friend and even more a brother. When the first time you do something that I don't like because I cannot logically understand I brushed you aside and I am sorry for that. Big sisters are supposed to protect and love their little brothers and I betrayed you because I could not understand why you hide your true self from us for so long. I realized after much contemplation last night that probably was due to the fact that you didn't want to lose the only friends you had. Your family had been so awful to you, and you didn't want to risk losing the one you created for yourself. So once again I am truly sorry and regretful for my actions these past few days. I love you little brother and I accept that you are gay and love Draco. But don't get me wrong if he hurts you he will be reintroduced to by right hook again."

She began to stand up but he had bit her robs and pulled her down into her side. He liked the laugh that she had rang out when she fell into him he had truly missed his friend and he began to purr when she started to scratch behind his ears.

"You should know Harry that Ron and I are no longer together. I do love him but he refuses to grow up. He told everyone about how you grew up and then continued to bad mouth you to the rest of the Gryffindors. Ginny was so mad that she ran off to owl their mother. The rest of the dorm were so mad that even Neville refused to sleep in the same room as him so he kicked him out and Ron slept on the couch because I refused to let him sleep in my room. He yelled at me and told me that I was stupid to believe all the things the founders said about you and that you were just some disgusting dirty freak and should be put into Azkaban for all the deaths you caused because you didn't defeat Voldemort sooner. That was my last straw so I broke up with him." At hearing this Harry turned his large head and nuzzled his nose into Hermione's hair. They sat in silence for a while until a pop startled them.

Kreacher looked angry as he was holding Nisha close to his tiny form.

Master you must help him. He is hurting him and Master Draco is not allowed to get any closer without getting into trouble. He is yelling at the stupid human but he cannot get closer please save him for me.

In an instant he had transformed back and grabbed Hermione's and Kreacher's hand as the apparated to where Nisha needed him. The scene they came upon made Harry's blood boil. Draco was currently yelling at the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor and Nisha was trying to slither closer to a table with a terrarium that was covered in blood. There were first year Slytherins and Ravenclaws cowering in the back of the room as they watched the Malfoy Heir yell at their professor.

"Silence," he yelled as he drew his wand and approached the two individuals. "What in Merlin is going on here Draco?"

"This repugnant imbecile was teaching first years cutting hexes on a living snake," he said as he pointed to the terrarium. "I could hear his screams all the way in the Great Hall were Andy was going over the things she required we have for our classes starting next week, she will send you the list. Harry he is in so much pain he wasn't conjured, he is alive, and in pain I can feel it. We have to help him Harry please?"

"Why should I care about a stupid snake?"

"You sir would do well to keep your mouth shut if you know what is good for you."

"And just who do you think you are?"

"I am the Lord of The Most Ancient and Noble House of Black, Lord Potter and the Heir of Salazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor know your place."

Master he is dying. Help him please. Nisha hissed next to the terrarium on the table.

Harry walked over to the table and was repulsed by what he saw. A once beautiful snake laid mangled next to its cage. He could tell that at one point tis scales were white with a pearlescent shine to them. He laid his hands on the limp body and poured his magic in to it. He watched as the numerous cuts began to heal. Draco come here. He had seen into the snakes mind and knew what it wanted.

What Harry?

Hold out your wrist and trust me. He let his magic go and watched as the snake latched onto Draco's wrist. He stood there and felt the bond form between the two of them. He waved his hand over the snake's body and the blood disappeared and he realized that the snake was an albino Indian Krait. He knew that the two would be alright so he turned to face the Professor. His anger had returned with a vengeance for he had glimpsed what the snake had been through at the hands of this man. He saw the first years being comforted by Hermione over his shoulder a few had tears in their eyes.

"You disgust me. How could you torture an innocent creature, what did it ever do to you? What were you thinking teaching cutting hexes to first years?"

"It is nothing but an animal who cares you can't do anything about it and I will teach what I see fit to my students."

"Well I guess they will no longer be your students. By the power of the Founders bestowed upon me banish you from the Castle." With a crack the Professor was expelled from Hogwarts perimeters. "Kreacher would please pack that man's things and send them to the gates.

"It be my honor Master." The elf replied with a low bow and a twinkle of mischief in his eyes.

"Hermione will you Kindly escort the first years to the Great Hall for lunch we will be there shortly."

"Okay Harry."

"Thank you Hermione. Draco is he alright?"

Yes he told me he doesn't have a name and to complete our bond that I should name him. Do you have any suggestions?

He took a closer look at the snake that had curled its self around Draco's arm. It was beautiful the white scales gave off a pearlescent shine and with its silver markings that were similar to Nisha which had crawled up to wrap around himself the snake gave off a silver shine.

You are beautiful little one. He said as he reached out a hand to stroke the snake's scales je gave out a gasp a molten mercury eyes looked at him. How about Argentum Draco?

I like it do you little one?

Master does my mate approve as well?

Your mate yes, the one that your mate is holding she is to me mine I can smell it on her.

Well Nisha do you approve? Draco asked.

Nisha hissed out a yes in response and nuzzled Argentum's head.

"I think it wise that we head to the Great Hall I have a feeling all hell is about to break loose."

"Your right mon beau coeur. So what are you going to do about the DADA Professor?"

"Well I have an idea. What do you think about Viktor Krum? I was going to bring you to meet him this weekend in Hogsmeade. He did get his Masters this summer, he studied under some Bulgarian Master."

"When did you meet up with him and just why did you not tell me that we were seeing him this weekend? I could have had plans. Blaise sent a letter I got it this morning in the Great Hall during breakfast. He is coming this weekend to talk to McGonagall about returning here to finish out his studies."

"I am sorry mon coeur, I did not think. I love you."

"I know, I love you too. I think Krum is a great idea we should hurry so we can see what havoc you have caused."

"Me I am completely innocent this time."

"Sure love and I am the Heir of Ravenclaw."

Harry couldn't help but chuckle under his breathe at Draco's comment as the walked into the Great Hall for lunch.
