A/N: Holy monkeys it's an update! Look at that! Um...in this one, the Malfoy/Potter/Snape family just keeps getting bigger...you'll see...
I really hope you guys like the story! Or rather, continue liking it :3
Now I need to go read some of my Tamora Pierce books so I can start plotting xD
Sitting on the stool for the second time in his life and he still couldn't help biting his lip in worry. He needn't have. The Sorting Hat went over his head and he was plunged into darkness. He felt the presence of the Hat and gasped when it caressed his mind.
-Well well. Hello again Mr. Black. Congratulations on your mates.-
Blinking in surprise, Harry grinned.
'Thank you Mr. Hat.'
He felt amusement from the Hat.
-I have a request young wolf.-
'Yes?'
-There is a first year Slytherin who needs a pack and protection. Dumbledore wishes to use him as a spy in your brother's ranks.-
Harry growled inwardly. He was trying to use a wolf cub to ferret out more of its kind!?
-That's what I assumed as well. Will you and your mates adopt him? Since it seems you already have cubs on the way, I don't see how it's going to be a problem.-
Harry sighed but nodded. He wholeheartedly agreed. And he was sure his family would welcome the idea.
-Thank you. Don't worry about your mates or your children. Hogwarts, myself, and Fawkes have banded together to keep you protected from anything. Including poisons. Still. Be safe.-
'Of course.'
-Good. Now. SLYTHERIN!-
Finally, Harry removed the Hat and calmly sauntered overto his designated table, telling himself that he wasn't fleeing to Draco's side. He sat beside Draco and was immediately calmed when said Veela gently caressed his back.
"What happened up there?" his mate inquired.
Harry felt the concern from both of his mates and sent soothing waves of his magic along their link to placate them.
"We have allies with the school, hat, and Dumble's prized pet. Also we'll have to keep an eye out for a first year. Apparently Dumbles wishes to use him to spy in aniki."
The first year beside him flinched and Harry turned to look at the kid. He discretely snuffled the child and smiled softly.
"Never mind. I think I found him. Hello cub. What is your name?" asked the halfbreed kindly.
The first year trembled slightly, his brown eyes widening. Harry looked the child over. He was small for a firstie, with layered short black hair and soft brown eyes. Harry's wolf instincts screamed at him to protect the innocent cub. Draco blinked in surprise when Harry leaned forward and nuzzled the firstie's cheek, effectively marking him. Brown eyes widened in shock.
"M-my name is M-Melvin. Melvin Antek. Are you my new mummy?"
Harry chuckled and ruffled the first years head.
"If you want." he grinned and pulled out a blood lollie, handing it to the cub." Here. I have plenty. Now. Melvin I would like to introduce you to one of my mates," Harry motioned to the now confused blond and lightly kissed his lover on the lips as Melvin put his lollie away,"This is Draco Malfoy. Draco, this is Melvin. We are going to take care of him from now on. Is that alright?" he was suddenly scared. What if his mates refused to help? This pup needed a family.
Feeling the panic he pulled his sub into a tender embrace and nuzzled Harry's neck, successfully calming him.
"Of course. You know that any child you consider yours is precious to both Sev and I, regardless of being blood related or not."
Melvin watched his new mummy get comforted by his mate and smiled softly. They made a good couple. He couldn't wait to meet the other mate.
"You mean it, Dragon?"
"Of course, wolf. You need to eat now ok? We will take Melvin to meet Sev after dinner. He'll be protected." this was said as the blond Malfoy heir rubbed Harry's belly, making Melvin breathe in his mother's scent once more.
He smelt both mates and spice. It was a scent reserved for the Breeders of their species. Melvin's eyes widened.
"Mummy, are you going to have cubs?" he whispered, making sure that no one could hear him speak.
Harry inclined his head and smiled warmly at the cub.
"Yes. Twins. My mates are going to be daddies. And you will be their big brother!" he whispered back.
Melvin purred a little at the thought of having siblings. He grinned.
"I'm happy for you mummy."
Harry grinned and began to eat. The others followed suit and all was quiet for a while until the Great Hall was dismissed to their dorms. Harry stood with Draco and pulled Melvin up, keeping hold of his hand as they made their way out of the Great Hall. Harry squeaked when a pair of black clad arms snuck around his waist.
"Picking up strays now, brat?" came the cool velvet voice of his other mate and Harry melted into his lovers warm comforting embrace.
"Sev , meet Melvin. A wolf pup who needs our help. Let's talk more about it with less of an audience." stated the wolf, eyeing the headmaster who was making his way over.
Melvin immediately hid behind Harry who was in turn hidden behind his mates.
"Good evening Headmaster. How may we help you?" Severus drawled obviously acting as a buffer.
Dumbledore's eyes narrowed at the scar ridden individual behind his spy and the Malfoy brat.
"It has come to my attention that Mr. Nathair used Dark Magic to assault Mr. Weasley and Miss Granger."
Harry snorted. Figures. The traitors. Draco's eyes narrowed.
"They insulted my mate. He was defending himself."
Dumbledore's eyes didn't twinkle. They only glared.
"See that you stay away from them. Filthy Slytherins such as yourselves have no right to go near them. One hundred points from Slytherin." and with a smug smile the headmaster turned and left.
Sev and Draco shared twin growls of anger and gathered a slightly trembling mate into their embrace. Melvin clung to Harry's waist, trying to offer his own comfort.
"I'm sorry, Panther. Don't be mad at me please! I didn't mean to lose my temper! But they insulted Dragon. They mocked my pain."
Severus growled at the sound of sorrow in his mate's voice and squeezed tighter.
"You had every right to be angry. When I tell Slytherin what happened they'll make sure that the Mudblood and the Blood Traitor suffer. I'll make it extra difficult on them in class. Now, let's go somewhere more private."
Harry nodded and he grabbed Melvin's hand. Together the Slytherins made it to Severus' dorms to talk over Melvin's fate with his new family.
