'Thoughts'

~"Beast Speak"~

**Flashback**

The Boys are Back in Town

After the startling realization dropped on them by Dumbledore, Draco and Harry had been rather...mild. They only left their room for meals and the "lessons" that were forced upon them and even in those their minds were so wrapped around their poor sursa that the performed the correct spells mediocre at times but received as if pefect by the remaining adults. The wild things were actually attempting at being civilized! Poor Kreacher was so worried about his new nice masters that he spent all his time cooking and finding ways to alleviate their worries instead of impending the Weasley matriarch's quest for cleanliness in the old home, much to her obvious joy. Even the portrait of Wallberga Black herself was quiet worried about her boys.

"He knows, he really knows. How the fuck does he know?!" Draco ranted pacing back and forth in their shared room. Harry didn't, or rather couldn't, offer any substantial theories seeing as he was curled up with plushie toys and hadn't said a single word since the bomb and figuratively been dropped. Severus couldn't help but be worried and if he was worried Sirius and Remus were beside themselves.

"What's wrong with Harry?"

"Is he sick?"

"Why hasn't the pup been speaking?"

"It's not dragon pox is it? Oh Merlin it is isn't it? Tell him not to scratch!"

"Have these blasted people finally made him go deaf?!"

"ENOUGH!"

Both godparents were silenced by a heaving panting Malfoy with an angered scowl but a sad tint in his silver grey eyes. It still rather shocked the married couple to see the young man not only civil but actually loving towards their godson and even, by relation, to them.

**Flashback**

The Lupin-Blacks had come by to Grimmauld Place to give a small gift to their puppy and had, luckly, managed to avoid the usual crowd and made their way upstairs to see a sight they never believed they'd see: a Potter and a Malfoy playing chess. Civily! Well, as civil as two siblings can be.

"HA! Knight takes your Bishop, now whatcha gonna do Moon? Huh?! Huh?!" the shorter black haired boy was goading his larger playmate who merely ignored him and batted away his insultes with the back of his hand. Suddenly his grinned, if that scary stretch of the lips and wide assortment of teeth could be called a grin. Two moves later and...

"YOU CHEATED!"

"I did not, it's not my fault you can't look into the future."

"NEITHER CAN YOU, YOU RUDDY CHEATED!"

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"Did-hey!"

The blonde teen just noticed the stunned adults waiting in the doorway with matching expressions of shock and slight amusement. Harry was looking towards his godparents with a steadily reddening face and mouth opening and closing without a sound until Draco had to go and ruin things.

"Well, you know our secret. Now... you must die!"

"DRACO!"

After a long and extensive conversation detailing back to when both boys were magically summoned to their sursa it came to no surprise when Sirius immediately jumped up to hug Harry growling the entire time that those damned muggles would die, convict or not. The big surprise came when Remus, without any warning or hesitation, wrapped his arms around Draco and offered calming words and presence making the Malfoy swear it was the dust making his eyes water as such.

**Flashback**

"Draco what's wrong with Harry? Why hasn't he been speaking?" Remus asked calmly.

"Because Dumblefuck threatened sursa through threatening us. He basically said if we didn't straighten up and work towards the goals he set up for us we couldn't see her. He said had some lackey of his move her into the Forbidden Forest but he's not as dumb as to place a fully grown dragon in a place so close to children. No, he has her someplace else but he's not going to tell us where until we go by his rules. And Em-Harry's upset because he's somehow got it into his thick skull that this is all his fault." he growled out the last sentence his annoyance directed towards his brother and not towards them. Sirius and Remus looked at each other and on one hand felt like smacking themselves in the face not realizing that James' stupid selflessness might've passed onto his son and on the other seriously considered smacking the old Headmaster for putting the boys in this situation to begin with. But with a look shared by each of them they knew the last would have to wait, they had a puppy to comfort.

It took a lot of pleading, consoling, and aggrivated shaking ("How is this helping Harry, Draco?" "Who says we just have to help him?!") until the young man snapped out of his stupor long enough to be told that A) It was not his fault B) Nobody blamed him in the slightest and C) If you ever think something this stupid again they'd allow Severus to use him as a guinea pig for his more gruesome potion projects. Of course the poor boy had no choice but to agree. The days went by with the brothers returning to normal (much to the chagrin of the household) but this time it was his godparents that were acting strangely. Everytime they were around the boys they became quiet and giggly ("Mostly Sirius." "Moony!") or just exited the same room. It was starting to truly frustrate the two of them. Finally about two weeks after Dumbledore's threat and exactly a month before school started for the Hogwarts students a knock vibrated across the whole house making everyone turn and stare at the door. Of course this shocked pause only lasted so long before Mrs. Black began wailing about mudbloods and blood traitors inviting more of their filth into her ancient ancestral home. Instead of shutting his mother up, not like he had done it often since he'd been there anyway, Sirius jumped up excitedly looking as he did back in his school days. Grey eyes alight with a spark and excitement, mouth widened into a bright smile and hands clapping together eagerly like a prank gone right. Remus merely followed his husband amusedly but nonetheless just as excited. What waited behind the door was going to be a treat for just about everyone.

"Bill?! You gave me such a fright young man! Why didn't you just appa-Charlie?" Molly Weasley had been fully set on ranting to her son how irresponsible he was and how he took at least a few years off her life when she spotted another familiar red head hiding behind him then stepping forward with a grin and wave. "Hey Mum."

"Charlie!" the Weasley matriarch screeched before crushing him in a hug wailing about how she hadn't seen her baby in so long and how dare he not write and tell her he was coming to vist, and how she has no time to prepare a room or enough food because clearly he wasn't eating enough in Romania, and on and on and on. Much to his chagrin, his older brother had escaped her clutches and was striving to keep his chuckles at bay. Of course everyone by then had heard who and what had happened and were coming into the living room to meet and greet the ellusive Dragon Tamer except for two young men who were staring at the eldest brothers as if they were mirages. When Harry caught a glimpse of Charlie's eyes and saw the small secretive smile directed at him he blushed and hid his face beneath his long hair. When Draco caught Bill's eye, the older man winked and grinned in a way a goblin would be proud making the blonde give a glare while trying to hide the tinge of color that creeped around his ears.

"So dear why are you here?" Finally the question had been asked.

"Well Mum, Bill just kept telling me how much you and Dad missed me and how badly things have gotten with You-Know-Who, so I put in to be transferred here from Romania for a year or two to help out if that's alright."

"Why of course Mr. Weasley, that's perfectly acceptable!"

Out of nowhere Dumbledore came strolling across the room eyes twinkling and smile ever present.

"May I be the first to formally welcome you back to your English soil and give you first warning about joining our small organization. Joining the Order of the Phoenix warrants you to be Voldemort's" a shudder went through the entire room except for those who merely rolled their eyes "top kill priority. Are you sure this is what you wish?" Charlie nodded without giving any thought.

"Of course. I want to protect the people close to me from that mad man." Mrs. Weasley broke out into noisy happy tears at the thought of her Charlie fighting to keep her and his family safe, not noticing that his gaze went directly into emerald eyes.

"So this is what you've been giggly about for the past few weeks!"

"Oi! I have not been 'giggly'! I've been mischevious! Manly mishcevious!"

"You giggling like a school girl when that doorbell rang."

"Mooonnnyyyy! You're supposed to be on my side!"

"Well...you all seem to be getting along nicely."

The small group turned towards the two Weasley brothers hanging in the doorway of their soundproof and magically barriered room with small o's for mouths and still. Well, not for much longer mind you.

"Charlie!" Harry ran from his spot on the bed watching his uncles and brother argue with amusement into the arms of his favorite who caught him and hugged him tightly.

"'Lo there Emeralds. I see you've been keeping this lot busy. What's that I heard about bad Weather in random bedrooms?" Both teens looked innocent at being slandered so!

"Moon, don't I get a squeal and hug like my decently atractive younger brother?" Draco merely huffed and turned his back towards the flirtatious brother grumbling the entire time. Bill, unphased, merely grinned and made his way over to his fiesty kitten.

Charlie, realizing this shortly, realized he had missed Harry very much in the month he had been gone. He had no idea how listless and nearly unresponsive he had become at work until he received an owl from his brothers then a fire call from Sirius Black-THE Sirius Black-asking him about a plan. And here he was holding the very person he was striving to protect, who incidentally was blushing from having ran towards him in such a manner and was attempting to look everywhere but his face. Cute.

"Harry, maybe we could talk in private somewhere else while everyone gets situated, hmm?" The emerald eyed teen flushed brighter but nodded with a sweet smile before being led out the room only to be missed minutes later.

"Hey Draco, where did Harry run off to?"

"Hmm? Oh, he probably went off with Charlie to snog themselves senseless."

"What, what, WHAT?!"
