Chapter Thirteen: Harry's Little Black Book
Harry stayed down in the Slytherin dorms for hours with the students and Kawaii, lying down on Theo's bed Harry watched as Kawaii jumped around on Draco's bed. Theo and Blaise sat at the foot of Theo's bed while Draco leaned against the bed post watching the creature tear apart his bed. It was past curfew but Harry was too lazy to go back to his own rooms, and Kawaii was happy.
"Is he house trained?" Draco asked as Kawaii scrambled around the bed tossing pillows and diving under covers.
"I hope so," Harry said before sitting up and yawning, "Kawaii come here you demon," getting instantly snuggled to he chuckled and glanced at the others, "See you tomorrow need sleep," standing he waved absently as Kawaii jumped on his back to hold around his neck and turn invisible.
"He defiantly likes you," Theo laughed as Harry and Kawaii left the room, before he realized, "It's after curfew think he'll be alright on his own?"
"Of course he'll be fine," Blaise said laughing, "From our research he spends half his time breaking rules including sneaking around after curfew."
"How the hell did he get in Gryffindor then?" Draco asked confused before Theo looked away, "Theo …you know don't you!"
"And I promised not to tell!" Theo said crossing his arms, "I can't tell his secrets he'd be pissed at me."
The next day Harry was listening to Ginny ramble on and on while Dumbledore stood nearby, he shocked them both by asking, "Is a shadow truly part of the dark or is it just an off cast of the lights lies?" that got them to blink at him, as they were stunned stupid he stood up and left them in the room before going and finding Theo, "So I heard a new song today."
"You have a problem with music you know," Theo laughed standing up from where he had been sitting with Draco a moment ago, "So we want to go into down town London wanna come with?"
"Already ahead of you," Harry laughed, "That's why I searched you out, have reservations for four at Nova, have had them for a long time. Originally I was going to take Ron, Hermione and Ginny… however."
"We're better company," Blaise said walking up, he had heard the conversation, "When do we leave?"
"Hmm," checking his watch Harry said, "We have two hours before we have to be at the restaurant."
"Good plenty of time to do a little shopping," Theo said looping arms with Harry, "Come along boys," and he began to lead his friend away, they walked right past Dumbledore and Hermione, "Let's get you some new robes!"
"Rather fight a basilisk again," Harry said trying to grab onto something to not be dragged off shopping for clothes, "Theo really come on!"
"Let go of him!" shouted Hermione whipping out her wand she aimed it at the Slytherin's, she was not going to allow three to be with Harry one was bad enough.
Sensing the on coming fight Harry twisted and managed to get Theo behind him and lifted his chin at Hermione before walking forward slightly, "I know what I'm doing Mione, how about after my luncheon we go and take a walk around the lake I have so much to tell you!" he seemed generally excited about the walk.
Dumbledore pulled Hermione back and the girl glanced at the old man before smiling as she realized she could most likely use some compelling charms on Harry during their walk, "Alright Harry, where are you boys going?"
"Hogsmeade," Harry lied flawlessly, "Theo wants to work on our charms project and Malfoy thinks we can't do it so Theo asked him to come along and Zabini is…not sure why he's coming along."
"Free food," Blaise said shrugging, "And the fact after the project I get to see Theo turn you into a doll."
"Meet you around nine?" Harry said to Hermione getting a nod he smiled and turned back around after a quick wave, once at Hogsmeade he shivered, "Theo you are so coming with me at nine I don't trust her not to try something – ow Kawaii did you just bite me?" he asked and the others realized the invisible creature was on Harry's back.
"Of course I'll go with you," Theo said before thinking back, "I do believe Kawaii biting you is his way of disapproving of the meeting in the first place."
"What's the worse that can happen, compulsion charms don't work on me and I can fight the Imperious so all's good," Harry said before apparating them away, once they appeared in an alley he saw their shock, "What?"
"How do you fight compulsion charms?" Blaise asked blinking rapidly.
"I don't they just haven't worked on me in about a year, the idiots at the school overloaded my system and then I did not see any of them at all the summer after and the charms began to dissipate, have you ever gone through a charm withdrawal?" Harry asked getting three shakes of the head he laughed, "It's painful and luckily gives you immunity to the charm that caused the withdrawal in the first place."
"Have you gotten a letter from R today?" Draco asked suddenly.
"No why do you ask?" Harry asked tilting his head.
"Um..." pointing Draco pointed out his father to Harry and the twins who were watching Harry with smiles, "I think he sent Father."
"Boss man!" the twins hollered jumping on Harry and hugging him close, "So guess what we pried some dark little secrets from Lucy's head and have new games to play!"
"Why does this sound like a painful experience for me?" Harry asked stepping back slightly pretty much backing against Theo.
"Well…want a sweet?" Fred asked offering one to Harry, getting a shake of the head he grinned, "We wouldn't kill you, who would finance our stores?" watching Harry take it carefully he grinned even more.
"Come on try it," George said which made Harry stare at the small blue jaw breaker in his hand, "Please," as soon as Harry put it in his mouth they watched his hair stand on end and his eyes get wide, "Sweet it works!"
Spitting out the ball Harry was shaking, "You electrocuted me!" he snarled which had the twins hugging him close, "Get off me you evil little rodents!"
"We've got a box of them for Ginny and Ron!" the twins said which made Harry's features go blank for a moment shocking the Slytherin's before watching as the twins let go of Harry and handed over a box which he placed in his jacket.
"Mr. Potter," Lucius said getting his attention, holding out a letter he said, "This is for you."
"Oh!" taking it Harry jumped backwards as the twins tried reading the letter, the other four watched as Harry pretty much did a cartwheel while reading to avoid the twins, when it ended up Harry sitting on Fred's head while George reached for him they were amazed to see Harry had one hand on the letter the other hand on Fred's ear keeping him still and one foot on George's face so the redhead swung out wildly trying to grab him.
'My Heart and Soul,
I woke this morning and had this feeling you were up to something after a bit digging I found your reservations and guessed who you would take with you. I also had Lucius go and find your twins to find out where you would most likely be so he could give you this letter. Helios is with his mate, their eggs hatched yesterday. I plan on giving you one of the hatchlings, she is a pretty one with a golden strip of feathers on top her head. I wish to meet with you love, but the only problem is I do not know how you will react, so I leave the decision up to you.
Yours Till Death R'
"Oh," dropping off Fred's head Harry leaned against a wall before his eyes landed on Theo, "You," walking over he grabbed his hand and then looked at the twins, "Keep the others entertained until I return!" he ordered which got two nods, and he dragged his friend away. Once a few blocks away he showed him the letter and fidgeted, "Well?"
"I…Harry you know R is dark right?" Theo said softly just to make sure his friend was not about to get his heart broken, getting a look that said 'duh' he sighed, "Well you realize he is friends with Deatheaters right?" a nod, "And that you two won't agree on everything."
"Theo should I meet him or not!" Harry asked getting tired of being told what he already knew, getting a sigh he sighed also, "I have to decided don't I?"
"Yes you do, it's your life," Theo said softly.
Turning and walking back while writing Harry knew Theo was following, entering the alley he saw Fred and George and no one else, "Guys where are they?" he asked before walking into something, pausing he stepped back and blinked, "Did you give them the invisible juice! I told you to not waste what we have left of it since you morons blew up the recipe!"
"We figured it out," George said proudly, "And it'll wear off if they drink the soda we gave them also," watching the three reappear the twins grinned, "So who will pay more for this invention of ours?"
"Deatheaters," Harry said easily before saying, "I want seventy five percent of the prophets since it was my mistake that made it work!"
"Deal! Now we just have to find some Deatheaters," the twins said before their eyes landed on Lucius.
"Sorry boys that's my Deatheater find your own," Harry said, Lucius was not sure whether or not to feel good about not belonging to the twins as he seemed to belong to Harry.
"Can we use your Slytherin's then?" they asked at the same time.
"Guys do you think I'd willingly give up Slytherin's?" Harry asked raising an eyebrow, getting pouted at he pulled out a small black book that had Theo's eyes narrowing, "Let's see…Yaxley's address…" copying it he handed it to the twins, "Don't get killed boys."
"Sweet is he our new pet?" George asked eyes wide and hopeful.
"Sure, if he reacts badly come back and I'll give you another Deatheater alright boys?" Harry said pocketing the book, getting two nods he asked, "So any news on where Fenrir Greyback is he keeps evading my trackers."
"He's at my house," Draco said before smacking a hand over his mouth before asking, "Why do you have a book on the Deatheaters addresses?"
Blinking Harry said, "I have no clue what you're talking about," turning he said, "Tell R I'll meet him when ever he likes, Theo I need shoes," and he walked away.
"Wait up!" Blaise and Draco called chasing Theo and Harry.
