I do not own Harry Potter.

Warning: Mature scenes

The great hall was as rowdy as ever when Harry and Hermione entered, hand in hand, but it was obvious when everyone noticed because there was a brief pause in noise before it picked back up. Harry rolled his eyes and squeezed Hermione's hand before stopping at the Gryffindor table. He let her sit first then sat down beside her, knowing the Headmaster was staring at him. He turned and nodded to him, making eye contact and refusing to back down. Finally, the Headmaster sighed and looked away when Minerva started talking to him. Harry clenched his jaw, trying to keep his anger at bay.

"Everything alright?" Hermione asked quietly.

Harry nodded but didn't elaborate.

"Are you two together?" asked Lavender, unable to contain herself any longer.

It was obvious that everyone on their end of the table was waiting for an answer.

"Yes," replied Harry and Hermione at the same time.

"Blimey, Harry!" said Seamus, patting him on the back, vigorously.

"Awe! That's so cute!" gushed Pavarti.

Lavender squealed and said, "You must tell us how it happened!"

"Yeah, mate!" said Dean.

Harry and Hermione looked at each other, honestly surprised by the interest. They also noticed that Ron looked steaming mad, as his face was beet red while he tried to ignore the conversation.

"It's nothing out of the ordinary," said Hermione, trying to deflect the attention.

Harry remained silent, nodding in agreement.

"Come on, you have to tell us!" said Pavarti.

Hermione looked to Harry, eyebrow raised.

He sighed and said, "It just sort of happened over the summer."

"Give them a break, guys." said Neville.

Hermione looked at him gratefully.

"Summer love is so romantic," sighed Lavender, looking at them with envy.

Harry squirmed at her look and moved closer to Hermione.

Hermione saw the way Lavender looked at Harry, obviously interested in him. Unable to stop herself she turned to Harry and kissed him chastely.

His eyes widened in surprise at first but then he wrapped his free hand behind her head, threading it in her hair and deepened the kiss, surprising her and causing those around them to laugh. After a few catcalls and whistles Harry pulled away, showing off a smirk that would make Draco proud.

Hermione blushed and ducked her head into his shoulder, making him laugh.

"You started it," he teased.

"You're incorrigible!"

He laughed loudly and pulled her closer to him, wrapping his arm around her shoulder, and kissed the top of her head, "But you still love me."

Hermione rolled her eyes and playfully shoved him away, making him laugh harder.

"Harry, Malfoy is glaring at you," said Neville.

They all looked over at the Slytherin table to see that Malfoy looked pretty pissed off.

"He's probably jealous and wants to be in Hermione's place," said Seamus, laughing.

The whole table burst out laughing at the thought of Malfoy having the hots for Harry. But while everyone was distracted, Harry raised his eyebrow at Malfoy, wondering what was up?

Daphne placed her hand on Draco's arm, breaking him out of his intense staring match with Harry.

"Calm down, Draco, you're attracting attention," said Daphne quietly.

Draco schooled his features and looked at her, "Right. Thanks."

She nodded.

...

When dessert was finished and all the staff changes had been announced Dumbledore cleared his throat and said, "One last announcement before you all go off to bed, the Board of Governors require me to notify you of a change in status of two students:

Mr. Draco Malfoy, sixth year Slytherin, is now Head of House Malfoy.

Mr. Harry Potter, sixth year Gryffindor, is now Head of House Black and House Potter.

Because of this status change, Lord Malfoy and Lord Potter-Black will now be residing outside of the main dormitories in Lord's suites. As Lords, not only do they now demand the same level of respect as your professors, they can also discipline you the same as your professors.

If you have any questions, please talk with your Head of House.

Now, off you go. Get a good night's rest for classes tomorrow."

Harry made eye contact with Draco before he was inundated with questions. Apparently, this was exciting news for everyone. Fortunately, he was saved from answering as Dumbledore approached and said, "Harry, I'll show you to your new suite."

Harry nodded and squeezed Hermione's hand before he followed Professor Dumbledore. They stopped just outside the Great Hall and waited for Professor Snape and Draco.

"Potter," sneered Draco.

"Malfoy," spat Harry.

Professor Dumbledore started to walk ahead and said, "Perhaps now that you'll both be living near each other you'll have time to get to know each other better."

Malfoy snorted, "I don't want to know scar head."

"That's Lord Potter-Black, Ferret" snapped Harry.

"Lord Malfoy to you," growled Draco.

"Whatever, you're still a twitchy little ferret." Said Harry, obviously hitting a nerve with Draco.

"And you're still a pathetic baby who cries for their mummy whenever they see a dementor," Draco hissed in response.

"Enough!" snarled Professor Snape. "I don't want to hear another word from either one of you for the rest of the walk!"

Draco widened his eyes in surprise, not used to being reprimanded. He looked to Harry and saw that he was obviously hurt, before he turned and quickly walked away. Draco sighed and ran his hand through his hair, something he had picked up from spending the summer with Harry. He knew he went too far and his stomach flipped… but damnit he always hated being reminded of what Moody did to him. Potter still knew how to push his buttons even after all the time they spent together. They walked in silence until Professor Dumbledore stopped with Harry in front of a large mahogany door with a Griffin carved into it. Draco followed Professor Snape further down the hallway and stopped in front of a large black door with a snake carved into it. He watched as Harry put his hand in the center of the door, then hissed as he pulled his hand back.

"Draco, put your hand on the center of the door," snapped Snape.

"Why?" he asked warily, watching Harry rub his palm.

"Stop being a baby, Draco. It's just a pin prick that takes a drop of blood to secure your suite. Once that's done then you pick a password."

Draco nodded and placed his palm on the door, hissing and pulling it back after the blood was collected.

Snape rolled his eyes and said, "Choose a password."

Draco watched Harry enter his suite with Dumbledore before he turned back to Professor Snape, "Narcissa."

Snapped nodded and said, "Put your hand back, say password set, Narcissa, then remove your hand."

Draco nodded and did as instructed, hissing again at the prick.

"If you want to add anyone to your wards, you should place your hand on the door, say allow access, then have the other person place their hand on the door, wait for the pin prick and then remove their hand."

Draco nodded.

Snape motioned to the door and Draco said, "Narcissa," and he heard it click, allowing him to open it. He wasn't surprised to find Snape following him in. He took a moment to look around, ignoring Snape. It was certainly appropriate for a Lord. The walls were covered in dark blue textured wallpaper and large gold gilded frames containing landscape scenes hung everywhere. There were two navy leather sofas, two matching leather wingback chairs and a massive gold edged glass table filled the sitting room. There was an enormous fireplace along one wall, between two doors which looked to lead to two bedrooms. Along the left wall was another door which looked to lead to an office.

"Draco."

Draco sighed and said, "Yes?"

"You have been gone all summer."

"Yes."

"You know you missed your initiation. I told you when it was going to happen. And you disappeared."

"I didn't disappear. Mother wanted to go on vacation."

Snape glared at him. "The Dark Lord was not pleased."

Draco nodded.

"It's only going to make it worse to delay it," Snape said softly.

"Well, I'm back now, aren't I," he replied bitterly.

Snape walked to the fireplace and looked into the fire, "I've protected you as much as I can, Draco, but his patience is wearing thin."

"I know."

"Just do what's required to get through the initiation. If you're lucky, you won't have to experience anything like it again."

"Right."

Snape must have heard the slight crack in Draco's voice because he looked up at him and his mask seemed to fall away, "I'm sorry this has to happen to you."

Draco nodded, unable to speak of the lump in his throat.

Snape nodded tersely, mask back in place and left the suite.

Draco sighed and sat down on the couch, head in hands, wondering how he was going to get out of this initiation. Why hadn't they just stayed in the Caribbean?

…...

"Harry, may I have a few words with you?"

"Headmaster, I'm quite tired, can't it wait?"

"I think you would like to know this sooner rather than later."

Harry sighed and said, "Fine," then motioned Dumbledore into his newly appointed Lord's suite

They sat down on the couches across from each other. Harry had no interest in what Dumbledore had to say, so he took the time to look around his new suite. It was quite lavish with rich, mahogany walls covered in intricate wainscoting and moldings. In the center of the sitting room were two large black tufted leather couches with matching sunken leather chairs, a large live edge wooden coffee table and a massive fireplace surrounded in black granite tiles. He noticed there were three doors along the back wall, which were open slightly. From what he could see, it looked like two doors lead to bedrooms, and another lead to an office. He was broken out of his exploration when Dumbledore cleared his throat and began to speak, "Harry."

Harry looked at him expectantly, moving his left ankle to rest on his right knee, and his left arm resting on the arm of the couch.

"Sirius was working on a surprise for your birthday before he passed. I was notified over the summer that the paperwork was approved but I haven't had a chance to speak with you. I know it's not how Sirius anticipated telling you … Just know that Sirius worked tirelessly to make this happen… It was very important to him."

Dumbledore then handed Harry a sealed Ministry envelope.

Harry stared at the envelope for several minutes then back at Dumbledore.

"Would you like me to leave you alone?"

Harry nodded, unable to speak.

Dumbledore stood, then said, "After you've had time to … absorb this… I want you to know I'm here for you, Harry."

Harry nodded again, not even looking up from the envelope. He waited for the door to close before slowly opening it with shaky hands…

Dear Lord Black

The Ministry of Magic is pleased to inform you that your application for adoption of Harry James Potter has been approved. Enclosed you will find the finalized adoption papers along with confirmation from Gringotts that they have listed Harry James Potter as your heir for House Black.

As a reminder, you should expect periodic visits from the Department of Child Services during the first year to ensure Harry is receiving proper care and support.

Congratulations on the expansion of your family Lord Black.

Sincerely,

Juniper Mulligan

Head of Child Services, Ministry of Magic

Harry dropped the papers on the coffee table, immediately covering his face with his hands. He tried, he really did, but he couldn't stop the sobs from escaping.

….

Hours later Draco knocked on Harry's suite door, Hermione and Luna standing behind him. After several attempts with no response Luna said, "Why don't you both go ahead. I'll wait for Harry while you prepare for the ritual. Besides Daphne and Blaise are waiting."

Draco frowned and Hermione went to object, but Luna said, "Please. Trust me."

They both nodded and left, albeit reluctantly.

Luna whispered the password she knew he picked and the door swung open. As she got through the hall to the sitting room she saw Harry curled up on the couch, sleeping fitfully. She sat next to him and ran her hand across his cheeks, wiping his tears away.

He opened his eyes slowly and she was surprised to see how much he was hurting.

"Oh Harry," she breathed, leaning in to kiss him softly, "I'm so sorry."

He pulled her on top of him and buried his head in her neck as he began to sob.

"Shh, it's alright." She repeated this softly until he calmed down. "He loved you so much Harry, remember that. You will see him again, you will."

He nodded, wiping his face, as he tried to pull himself together again.

"Do you want to cancel tonight? We can do the ritual next month…"

Harry sighed and said, "No, we should do it tonight. Hermione will kill me if I cancel."

"I'm sure she would understand."

"It's better to just get it over with."

"If you say so..."

Harry nudged Luna to get up then stood.

"You should go wash up," she said smiling.

Harry nodded and looked around, "I don't even know where the loo is..."

Luna pointed and said, "I think it's through the Master bedroom."

Harry nodded and followed Luna's directions, which of course were correct.

A few minutes later they were on their way to meet everyone by the forest. Luna made sure to hold his hand the entire way providing as much support as she could. By the time they reached the others Harry seemed to have his emotions in check.

"Hey, everything okay?" Asked Hermione, kissing his cheek.

"Yeah, fine."

She scrutinized him, obviously able to tell something was wrong.

"I can explain tomorrow, Mione, but I'm fine. Really."

She nodded and reluctantly went back to finalizing the ritual circle.

Harry turned to Daphne and Blaise and said, "This is it. Last chance to change your minds. Are you absolutely sure this is what you want to do?"

Daphne and Blaise looked at each other and he said, "It's up to you Daphne. If you do it, I'll do it. If you don't want to then I won't either."

Daphne smiled at him then said, "I want to do this Blaise."

"Alright, then we're in Potter."

"We should get into place while Hermione finishes up," said Luna, directing them each to the correct place to stand. "Harry, you're at 12 o'clock, then to your left will be Hermione, then Draco, then Daphne, then Blaise and finally I'll finish the circle ending up on your right."

"I thought Hermione would be on his left and I would be on his right?" asked Draco.

Luna shook her head, "I don't think that will work because it should be male, female, male, female, male, female. If we change it to male, female, female, female, male, male then your strongest bonds would be to Harry and Blaise, instead of Harry, Hermione and Daphne."

"I don't understand how with I'm bonding to only 2 or 3? Aren't we all supposed to be bonding?"

"Yes, we are." Replied Luna simply.

Draco looked ready to pull his hair out and Harry intercepted. "Luna, what arrangement gives us the most protection?"

"I just told you silly."

Harry chuckled and said, "Draco, just stand between Hermione and Daphne. Blaise between Daphne and Luna and I'll stand between Hermione and Luna."

They all grumbled but moved into place as Hermione lit a fire in the center of the circle and then retrieved the knife they would use in the ritual.

"Everyone needs to remove their clothes now," said Luna dreamily.

They all looked to Hermione and she nodded in agreement.

"I recommend folding them and keeping them right outside the circle," Luna added.

Hermione said, "Remember, once we step inside the circle we'll need to hold hands, but make sure to keep your wands in one hand. Harry will begin the ritual and speak for several minutes before he retrieves the ritual knife from the center. He will slice himself first, then drip the blood onto the fire while he repeats his oath. He will then perform this on all of us and we'll each need to repeat the oath when our blood is added to the fire. Once each of us have gone then Harry will seal the oaths with a spell before he rejoins the circle. Then we'll all hold hands again and recite second half of the ritual together, which should take about 15 minutes. After that, the ritual is done. The book just indicated that it would be clear if the ritual worked. It doesn't go into how we'll know. But the whole thing shouldn't take more than 30 minutes."

Luna cast a spell to show the time down to the second and Hermione asked, "Any last questions? We need to start in one minute…"

Everyone shook their head and quickly divested themselves of their remaining clothes before moving into the circle.

"Remember, no one besides Harry can cast any magic once we start," reminded Luna before she was the last one to step into the circle.

They all watched the seconds tick by until it was finally midnight and then they all looked to Harry to begin. And so, he did….

He had been so worried that he would forget the words to the ritual that he asked Hermione to levitate a copy in the center of the circle but once he started he realized he didn't need it. He swore he could feel his magic vibrating throughout his body and practically leaping from his fingers into the others. As he performed the blood ritual on each of them the fire shot higher and higher and changed colors after each was added. When he stepped back into place and everyone held hands again his body was overcome with desire. His eyes dilated as he swore he could hear each of them panting in need. They somehow managed to finish reciting the words to the end of the ritual despite their lust. Suddenly there was a bright white light and a magical backlash extending from the center of the circle out, causing them all to be thrown backwards. Just as they started to stand again they were forcefully shoved forward as if they had been dropped by a portkey. They were all sprawled on the ground inside the circle and one by one they groaned and managed to sit up.

"What was that?" griped Daphne.

"Is that supposed to be how we know it worked?" asked Draco.

Hermione opened her mouth to reply but was unable to as Harry tackled her to the ground and began thoroughly feasting on her. He pinned her arms to the ground above her head as he separated her legs and moved in between them. He lined up at her entrance and paused for just long enough for her to see how dilated his eyes were and how strong his desire was. She only had time to nod before he was inside her. He kept her wrists in one hand while he used his other hand to wrap her leg around his hip, moving hard and fast. He growled and bit into her neck as he finished, causing her to scream, in both pleasure and pain. He collapsed on top of her and tried to catch his breath before he groaned feeling his libido kick back in. He kissed Hermione messily before he stood and turned to Draco, needing to claim him next.

Draco smirked and met Harry for a ferocious kiss. Their teeth clashed and they nipped each other's lips, each trying to dominate. But Harry had immense power running through his body and he was going to prove he was the alpha. Suddenly he threw Draco to the ground, making him yelp, before he launched himself on top of him, shoved his legs up high and entered him roughly. Draco cried out in pain but Harry didn't let up. He continued, driven by something deep inside him, while he marked Draco several times over. He knew he was being harsh, he could see the tears on Draco's face, but he was unable to stop, he had to spill his seed… Finally, Harry felt he was close and began pushing harder and harder until he made Draco scream in release, which sent Harry over the edge.

Again, he only had a moment of respite before his libido came back, this time screaming for him to take Daphne. He stood shakily and waved his hand to clean himself up the best he could as he walked towards her. She looked terrified and Harry used all his willpower to stop himself, "Daphne, I need you… My magic is forcing its will on me right now… and it wants you."

She nodded but still looked scared.

"I… I'll try…"

"Lie down," Daphne ordered, interrupting him.

Surprised, he did as asked.

She quickly moved to straddle him and he immediately squeezed her hips trying to control his desire. She moved and slowly lowered herself on top of him, closing her eyes as she did. He squeezed her so hard she winced but she still began to slowly move up and down. He growled and sat up, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her close so he could lick and bite her neck. He used his arms to move her faster and push her down harder, causing her to whimper. "I'm sorry," he whispered. He couldn't stop, not until his seed was inside her. He had to make her his. After some time, he finally roared as he reached his peak, causing her to scream from the force of his final thrusts.

He was exhausted and thirsty and he felt terrible as he looked at the tears streaming down her face. "I'm sorry," he whispered again, gently lifting her up. He noticed a fair amount of blood as he stood, which made him feel even worse but he could already feel the lust taking over again, the drive to mark Blaise was overwhelming him and he groaned as he waved his hand again to clean himself up. He took a moment to also clean Daphne before he turned towards Blaise.

Blaise raised his eyebrow in question.

Harry simply nodded before he pushed Blaise to the ground and growled, "Get on your hands and knees, face away from me."

Blaise clenched his jaw but did as he was told, knowing it would do no good to fight Harry in his current state. Maybe if he was lucky this would be the only time he would have to let this happen. He was surprised when he heard Harry spit and then felt him trying to lubricate him. He realized with a gasp that it wasn't enough, not nearly enough, as it felt like he was being torn apart from the inside. But he closed his eyes and took it, knowing it wouldn't last forever. He tried to think of something else, anything else, as he was being shoved forward and split open. Harry was literally surrounding him when he suddenly felt Harry's arm go across his neck and pull him upright so he was sitting on top of him, back to chest. Blaise yelped in pain and tried to get away but Harry held him tight, buried to the hilt, as he rutted up into him, all the while biting his shoulder viscously. Blaise turned and bit Harry's bicep in retaliation, causing Harry's release to explode out unexpectedly. "Fuck!" swore Harry, dropping back onto the ground, rubbing his bicep and smearing blood in the process.

"Fucking Brute!" cursed Blaise, shoving himself away from Harry.

"I'm…"

"Fuck you!" snarled Blaise, not wanting to hear Harry apologize.

Harry groaned as his erection returned. He slowly sat up and waved his hand, cleaning himself again.

"My turn!" said Luna happily.

Harry smiled, only his Luna would be happy about this situation. "Yes, love."

She smiled and tossed herself at him, pushing him back to the ground as she thoroughly snogged him senseless. He entered her after a minute, but she was more than ready for him, which he found a huge turn on. "Did you like watching me take the others?" he whispered to her.

"I did." She replied breathily.

"Show me what you want," he ordered.

Smiling wide she rolled off him and pulled her legs up by her head, spreading herself open for him. He smirked and entered her, pushing her legs back further so she was practically bent in half. This allowed him to hit her G spot each thrust and within minutes she was screaming his name in ecstasy. He continued through her orgasm until finally, he bit her neck as he released his seed deep inside her. He groaned into her neck as he released her legs so she could lower them, "Bloody fucking hell."

Luna mewled contentedly.

He pushed himself off her, giving her one last parting kiss, before he stood. Again, he waved his hand and cleaned himself up. He raised his eyebrow at Luna in question, but she shook her head, not wanting him to clean her up. He looked around and noticed the others were sitting together, obviously having watched him with each one of them. He looked down and was happy to see that his libido was finally satisfied. He slowly walked forward and sat down in front of them, exhausted. He noticed they all looked tired as well.

"So…" he started awkwardly.

Draco rolled his eyes and said, "Potter, shut up. I don't want to hear you brag about how powerful you are, how much stamina you have, or how you're our alpha. I'm bloody fucking tired."

"Me too," said Blaise.

"Me three," added Daphne, pushing both Blaise and Draco to the ground so she could snuggle between them.

Harry shook his head and smiled at Hermione, moving to her side. She immediately pushed him down and snuggled in between him and Draco, while Luna crawled to Harry's other side and snuggled against his chest.

"Just a little nap, we can't stay out here all night," said Hermione, yawning.

"Hmm mmm," murmured Draco into her hair as they all fell promptly asleep.
