Chapter 11: Day's Moon
When the three teens came down after their showers Theo was laughing as Harry walked away from Draco who was complaining about Harry adding a blood red streak to his hair. Harry seemed perfectly happy to have Draco complain that the color clashed with his eyes. The Deatheaters who had come over to talk to Lucius and saw the boy wonder walk by, they had not been informed of Harry staying at the Manor and were rather confused. Especially when Harry walked over and looked at Lucius for a long moment.
"Draco stop complaining about his hair it looks fine," Lucius said as he evaluated the new addition to Harry's look.
"It's red!" Draco complained before grabbing Harry's hand and tugging him away, "At least add another color so you look more punk."
"Alright," Harry grabbed a section of his hair and ran it through his fingers so it changes white, "Better?" getting a nod he chuckled and wandered away, "Where did Pansy go?" he asked and got a shrug.
Lucius held up a hand to stop the on coming questions, "He is my guest, our Lord knows he is here," with that he turned and left the confused four behind him.
The next day Harry was laying on the Ball room floor as House elves decorated for Halloween, he kept telling them when something looked amiss and they fixed it. Narcissa sat in a chair watching Harry with a smile, planning the Deatheater parties were normally her job but he was doing an excellent job at it. The other four teens were off playing a make shift game of Quittditch but Harry seemed to find this more amusing. Looking over the menu she chuckled as she saw that Harry had gotten his hands on that as well, the desserts had been changed and a larger variety of appetizers were marked down. Looking at the teen she smiled as she thought about how good he would be for the Dark Lord, whom she knew was watching Harry at that very moment.
"So Harry how have you liked the Manor so far?" Narcissa asked as she moved to sit closer to the teen who seemed to think best while lying down.
"It's beautiful, large and I've gotten lost a few times but it's a lovely place," Harry said before sitting up and saying to the closest house elf, "See if you can charm the walls to have a sort of vampire palace feel."
"Yes young Mater," the elf said, Narcissa shook her head in amusement. Harry had all the elves loving him after only two days.
"What is your costume going to be?" Narcissa asked softly.
"I have no clue, it's hanging in Pansy's closet and she threatened me with bodily harm should I try looking early," Harry said splaying his arms and legs out as if a cat.
Draco came skidding in the room to topple over and land on Harry, "Hey I just saw your Moony-"
"Moony!" standing and dropping Draco, Harry tugged him to his feet, "Where?"
"He was circling the Manor, I think he's spying for the goat," Draco said before having to chase after Harry who took off in a dead sprint, "Wait up!"
Tom watched from behind a tapestry as Harry jumped on the werewolf Remus Lupin and the two rolled across the floor for a moment, "Moony! How much do you love me?" Harry asked as they stopped rolling and he sat on the man's hips.
"Like my cub, why?" Moony asked before asking, "How did you know I was here?"
"Draco spotted you," Harry said before asking, "Do you love me enough to stick by me no matter what I do?" getting a nod he kept his face blank, "I refuse to be Dumbledore's weapon."
"So you've switched sides?" Remus asked carefully.
"Not really," Harry said before running a hand through his hair, "I'll help the dark only because that is the side my friend have chosen, I hold ties to only a few people, you are one of them. Which means if you do not accept my choice I will just send you on your way after of course locking this memory so you can't rat me out."
"I only support you Cub," Remus said sitting up, "I only joined the Order to keep you safe."
"Yay!" tackling him back onto the ground Harry snuggled to his chest, "Well that takes a load off my mind."
"Dammit..." Draco said as he finally caught up he was holding his sides and panting, "How do you run so bloody fast?"
"Years of practice," Harry laughed bolting up to hug the blond, "Have I told you lately that I absolutely love you and your eagle vision?"
"So I'm taking it he's okay with everything," Draco chuckled before getting a nod and watching Harry help Remus to his feet, "Well Mr. Lupin might I offer you a place to stay and a great party to attend, one which you're little brat there has re-planned."
"I think I should talk to your father about that," Remus said before picking Harry up and spinning with him before setting him down, "I missed you Cub."
Lucius was blinking rapidly after Harry and Draco explained everything to him; glancing at Remus he turned back to Harry and saw an innocent hope in those green eyes. That made him wonder how a teen that had seen so much torture and death could hold anything even close to innocence still. Nodding his head he caught Harry who hugged him, "He may stay, but you are in charge of him. If he does something crazy you are to take full responsibility got it?" he asked Harry who nodded, swatting the teen in the head he shook his head, "Well go find him a room."
