Hey everyone,
So a little more about this OC I'm planning on. Like I said, he will be used to worsen the whole thing with the 150 point loss. However, he won't be relevant for more than just this one chapter as he will have been handled with long before now. Does that make it silly or pointless for me to even create this character? Maybe, but while he will be dealt with, the consequences of his actions will remain through the story.
We clear? Good,

Wow, I haven't had multiple chapters with the same date for a while.

Chapter 41
Revelations and Relief

10th of March 1996
Shrieking Shack, Scotland
Harry's POV

I can hardly believe how much things have changed since I went down under. Voldemort is dead, Umbridge is gone, Hogwarts has had its wards recharged and is now safer than ever, the students have had their past wrongdoings pointed out to them, the same for the teachers, McGonagall has started becoming more active as Head of House and my friends group is stronger than it ever has been in the last four years of my educational career.
And of course best of all, Sirius has been declared innocent and he will adopt me as his son once the trial period is over. And thanks to the ways that Dobby has improved the Shrieking Shack and Bill attaching that feeding line between Hogwarts and the new wards that are now growing to surround the Shack, I already have a home for us to live in. However, there is one more hurdle in the road and Sirius is currently dealing with it.

Earlier today I had checked the time on the back of the Beauty and the Beast movie box and determined that the four to six minutes of the 2 hour 10 minute movie were probably credits. I hadn't thought that Lupin would want to sit through those and after I had left, I had constantly checked the time. When two hours and 7 minutes had passed, I had felt sure that the man was either already gone or, for some reason, watching the credits.
I'm sure that Dobby would have informed us if he had been forced to pop Remus out of the house before now, so I genuinely wonder what is keeping the man from coming out and greeting us. A small part of me worries that I made a mistake, that Lupin is offended that I compared him to Gaston and that he is now giving us the silent treatment as a rebuttal. But I know that Sirius won't let the man pull a stunt like that, so I continue to be curious.

Then, about ten minutes after the movie and the credits ended, the door finally opens again. The smile on Sirius' face says it all. I spot Remus walking out after him and instantly I rush over to embrace the man I have missed so dearly this past half year. Remus tenses in shock and I know that my friends are rolling their eyes good-naturedly at me, but I don't care. The man recovers and he happily, gratefully wraps his arms around me.
"I'm sorry, Harry." They might only be three words, but I know that they mean so much more. The man is apologizing for everything. For what he did to my Map. For the fact that he spied on me. For the fact that he let Umbridge hurt me. For how he refused to apologize for his actions. For the fact that he almost attacked Sirius a few months ago. And for how he has been behaving towards the others since he became famous.

And because of this, I reply: "I'm sorry too. I used the cutting curse on Sirius' robe to make it look as if you almost cut him in half. It was Sirius' idea after he saw how badly I wanted you to come to your senses." The man tenses for another moment and I worry that I might have ruined all the effort we put into this plan. But then he relaxes again and whispers how it should have worked, but that it was his own fault that it hadn't, not mine.
The man pulls away, but only so far that he can look me in the eye and he says: "I always knew that you didn't like fame, Harry. I remember how you reacted to your own when I was your teacher. I promise that, when we hang out, I won't let my fame get in the way. If a fan approaches, I'll ask them if we can meet up another time. And, if it's within my power, I'll see if I can use my fame to make your life easier or solve problems for you, okay?"

The man had been genuinely sincere at the beginning and he had joked at the end. But his words, combined with everything else that happened in the last month, sparked a memory and an idea with me. The memory makes me tense my form so I can suppress a shudder and the idea makes me hesitate. But then, while Remus gently calls out my name, I make a decision in just a split second and decide to stick to it.
"I know you were joking, but – I might just have to hold you to those words, Remus." I whisper at the man before I motion Ron with my head to follow me. Everyone is deeply confused and concerned and I guide Ron back into the entertainment room. There, while I keep my back to him to keep him from seeing the fear on my face, I softly tell him that I want to have Dobby summon someone who doesn't yet know about this location.

Ron asks if I'm sure and I tell him that this person deserves to know about my problem first as it, indirectly, involves him more than almost anyone else. Ron might not be able to see my face, but he can clearly hear the determination and the distress in my voice and so he accepts my request. And with a soft request to Dobby, Oliver Wood enters the room. Ron hurries over and whispers the secret in his ear, which makes his eyes widen.
I wait for the magic of the Fidelius charm to take effect and let the man see us and our location. When it's clear that this has happened, he turns to me and asks why I brought him to my hiding place. I try to suppress tears and whisper: "Oliver, it's – I mean – there's – I wanted – there was – ugh, I just – what I –." But each time I try a new method to explain to him what happened, my fear gets the better of me and I falter.

Both Ron and Wood look at me in growing concern. But then, to my shock, Oliver seems to get what I'm unable to say and he asks: "Is this to do with my brother, Harry?" And just the tone of his voice has me too shocked to answer. The voice is cold, dead and full of hatred and disgust. Instantly my stomach drops as I wonder whether or not Jet gloated with Oliver about how he threatened me in First or how he tried to seduce me in Second.
The older boy turns away and growls: "That blasted bastard got himself arrested after the Quidditch World Cup. He tried to make use of that disgusting display of the Death Eaters to kidnap this whole group of kids, most of which weren't even older than seven. When they found him, he had them in his own basement, all of them chained up and naked. And he was raping at least two of them, one personally, one magically."

Ron and I both gape at him and Oliver turns to me as he asks: "Please tell me he never did such a thing with you. He didn't say anything about you during his trial, but I do remember him sending me some kind of strange victorious grin before he got dragged off to Azkaban. And apparently, according to his new Mind Healer, he seems to be keeping some kind of personal victory secret from her. Though I also heard that he got raped by an inmate himself."
I can hardly believe what I'm hearing and I can't help but ask how long Jet got sentenced. When Oliver growls that Jet got the life-sentence, but not in the same section as Sirius, I crash down on the couch as relief washes over me. Instantly Oliver and Ron are at my sides and Oliver almost begs me to tell him that Jet didn't do the same to me. I shake my head and say: "He threatened me in First and tried to seduce me in Second.

In first I was running through the school to get away from some students after that fiasco with the point loss. Apparently I ran past a classroom where he was busy raping a first year Hufflepuff or something and he thought I had seen him. So he decided to threaten me and didn't believe me when I said that I had no idea what he was talking about. Then in second, after the Duel Club, he started saying You talk me into an orgasm and stuff like that.
It just utterly freaked me out, but he just wouldn't stop. He used every chance that we walked past each other to get to our classes to hiss such a thing in my ear. And because it was usually followed by another Badger trying to give me a jump scare, he kept getting away with it. And because he was your brother, I didn't think you'd believe me over him. I just – I wanted to believe that I could put him behind me once he graduated.
But – but now Lupin's famous and he – he's finally back to the guy that used to teach us, the guy that I knew was friends with my dad. And – and he offered to use his fame to help me with potential problems and – and because Ron discussed those two years with the students to keep similar events from occurring, I remembered this. And I – I thought I should take him up on his offer, but – but I didn't want you to hear it after the fact.

I – I – I can't –." And again words fail me as my sense of relief over the fact that Jet is truly out of the picture and that Oliver believes me and isn't mad at me has been growing the more I spoke and now it just overwhelms me. Oliver nods while he and Ron hold me tightly. He gently tells me that he will contact Madam Bones in private and report this to her. That he'll make sure she keeps it quiet, but that it will be added to Jet's record.
Ron asks if that will do anything and Oliver nods as he says that Madam Bones had also spotted the grin and that she and the Mind Healer really want to know about Jet's secret as they're sure it's another crime. Now that Oliver can confirm this, Jet might just get Double Life and he'll lose every last chance of an early release or any other privileges. My relief grows several more notches at the sound of these statements.

Then I remember not just that the others are waiting outside for me, but who it is that is waiting outside for me. I look from the door to Oliver and to Ron. And again, in a split second, I make another decision. "Guys, I'm really sorry that I kept this a secret from you – and with this I don't mean Jet. It's just – heh – sometimes it's just easier to give into the Boy-Who-Lived persona and to comply with the wishes of the masses.
Or at least to let them think that I am complying." The other two boys share a confused look while I get out of my seat and head for the door. Behind it, the other two boys and three men are waiting. I smile at them all and gently tell Lupin that I won't have to keep him to his words as my problem has apparently already solved itself without my knowing. I hear Dobby pop Oliver away behind me, but I ignore this.

Instead I repeat my earlier apology to Bill, Sirius and Remus. Everyone notices that the apology isn't aimed at the twins, whose eyes widen when they realize why this is and what I'm planning. I smile at the two of them and after a moment, they grin back and Fred says: "Come here, cuddle cub." And I happily walk over to the two of them. I come to stand between them and they both lovingly embrace me as George tilts my head his way.
And while Fred pushes some of my hair to the side and while I know that the others are shocked and gasping, George presses his lips against mine and I happily, lovingly and wantonly return the kiss. I moan in the kiss as I feel Fred's lips on my neck, at exactly the one spot I am most sensitive. Halfway up my neck just underneath my earlobe. Fred sucks and licks at my skin there, obviously to leave a mark and I love it.
George also softly bites on my lower lip, something I absolutely love about him and I reward the gesture with another moan as I firmly grasp his long red hair between my fingers and bury my hand in his hair. And while it feels slightly uncomfortable, I twist my arm to pull Fred closer against my back, yet I work hard to suppress a third moan as I feel his manhood press against my leg as I do this. the attempt is only halfway successful.

"Okay, how long has this been going on, how did you manage to keep this secret from us and do I need to give my boy the talk?" Sirius suddenly interrupts us, just as George licks my lower lip. And while I really don't want to as I have been missing my two boys something terrible the last few months, I pull free from the kiss and answer: "Since the end of third, I'm not telling and Bill already did that summer before fourth, thank you."
Sirius' eyes widen and he turns to both Ron and Remus, but at the latter I argue: "We kept our romantic gestures to just sitting close at tables and walking closely together when we were walking in a group or something. The most we would really do was sneak glances at each other, though we'd always make it look as if we were having one of those silent conversations that close friends tend to have, you know?"

The man nods and then Ron asks about Cho. I sigh and mumble that she is the only other person who knows. I try not to feel glum as I tell them that Cedric knew as well as the twins and I had given Cho permission to tell him. I tell him about how the girl had come up with the whole act of me being a mumbling, bumbling fool if I was ever around her, as that would further prove my humanity to other students who might spot us.
"Cho understood immediately why I didn't feel like making my crush on the twins public, or the fact that they apparently returned my feelings. She also agreed that giving into public pressure on some levels could probably help me and then she came up with the idea I just told you. To be honest, she was the one who told me that gay relationships aren't half as begrudgingly tolerated in the magical world as they are in the Muggle world.

Before I talked with her, I had no idea that most wizards nowadays are actually bisexual, but that they hide their same sex attraction to keep Muggleborns from, and I am quoting Cho here, sprouting their dying Muggle Dogma. To be honest, Hermione was also a reason that made Cho agree to the idea. I didn't want to agree with her on that, but then SPEW happened and well – yeah. I didn't think she'd take kindly to this, us, either."
Remus asks what now and while I had sounded a bit timid before now, now I stand firm and say: "Now I'm going to just come out and admit to how I feel. I'm going to tell Cho that I am done with the plan and that I want to live my life to the fullest. And with how Hermione has come to accept the whole thing with House Elves thanks to this whole thing and our elf friends, I'm confidently hoping she'll do the same for us."

The twins pull me so that I am standing with my back against both their fronts. One of them says that they'll be there with me all the way and the other continues and says that they'd do anything for me, their snuggle cub. The nickname has me grinning widely again and when they both press a kiss to my cheeks, my grin grows even wider as I just love it when they do that. And even more because we haven't done this in almost a year.
The others also all grin widely at me and Sirius half-jokingly says that he believes he won't have to give them the usual overprotective father warning, but also states that the warning does count. And then Ron makes us all laugh as he says: "I don't know if mum is going to kill you guys for ruining her fairy tale dream of Harry marrying Ginny or kiss you guys for potentially bringing Harry into the Weasley family." I both agree and don't care.

That felt BRILLIANT!
Like I said, the whole thing with the OC would only be temporary, though it will have consequences as Fred and George don't know about Jet – yet. And like I said, this ship is slightly original. In To Read Into The Universe, I also have this ship going, but then with Lea in it as that is also a Kingdom Hearts crossover. However, I am not going to pull a Preventing Trouble and suddenly turn this into a KH Crossover.
All clear? Good,
