Here is the next chapter. I hope you like it. Please read and review thanks love Hermione xxx
Harry woke up and decided that drastic actions needed to be taken if he was to be left alone and he would need to check if what he was even about suggest was possible. "Dobby I need to ask you a difficult question but if you cannot do what I ask please just tell me. If you don't know the answer please tell me that too. Is it possible to force someone to look and sound like me for as long as I wish them too? I mean could I make them believe they are me?" he asked as Dobby looked to be deep in thought.
"I don't know sir Harry sir. I will ask at the bank and I will be back. Your breakfast is on the table. It's a cooked one today. Some sausages and toast as you like them!" he said as Harry smiled and hugged him as he squealed in joy. He left and headed to the bank where he spoke with the Potter family account manager who was stunned.
"Well Dobby in our last meeting I did recommend to him that Harry Potter would need to die in the wizarding world but we never actually got round to that. There is another option but he would need to want to do it. We know of his relationship status as he told us. He was asking us if it was forbidden in our world and was shocked when I said it wasn't. If he didn't wish to kill Harry Potter in our world he'd need to change his name through marriage!" he said as Dobby smiled at him.
"I will tell Harry sir this and report to you his instructions!" he said as Griphook smiled and agreed. Dobby returned home shocked to find Draco angry.
"How in the name of Merlin does this infernal thing work? I have no desire to burn the fucking house down!" he shouted at the toaster at which Harry emerged from the downstairs toilet and promptly burst into peals of laughter. He hadn't laughed so hard in his life. He was actually crying slightly he'd laughed so much.
"What are you laughing at Potter I know what it does just not how to u…u…use it!" he said joining him laughing hysterically as Dobby looked at them both curiously his eyes shining with unshed tears which they noticed stopping.
"I have never seen master Draco so happy. Thank you sir Harry" he said as Draco looked at him stunned. He had never been mean to the elf because the elf had not been his personal elf but wouldn't have anyway.
"Thank you Dobby. I must ask you is there anything you can do that we don't know about? I know father treated you badly and I am sorry about that!" he said as Dobby gasped.
"Old master Lucy was a bad master and no he doesn't know everything. He never asked me this question before. I can do many things he did not know about because he never asked me about them!" he said as Draco suddenly said show me. He was stunned when Dobby popped away and returned a few moments later. He waved his hands removing some pictures which had been hanging on the wall and placed them neatly in the corner. When he then clicked his fingers Draco was stunned as a large mirror rested in its place but it wasn't a mirror you would see yourself in, no. In this mirror they could quite clearly see Lucius in his study. He wasn't done however as when he clicked his fingers again two new mirrors appeared there. One of them showed the kitchen of Grimmauld Place somewhere he didn't know and the final mirror showed a now empty boys dormitory at Hogwarts.
"With these mirrors you can see these things at any time by saying hello to the mirror you want to see. When you want it to become a normal mirror you say goodbye to it. When you say hello you can see whoever is on the other side of the mirror but they will not be able to see you. Should a muggle come in suddenly when one is on it will shut off at once for safety. I can do more but this is a sample!" he said as Harry gasped. It was like the two way mirrors that Sirius had gifted him only this was a one way mirror. Draco was sat there slack jawed.
"Boy were you wasted on Lucius!" he said sounding highly impressed.
"What did the bank say Dobby?" Harry asked suddenly as he told them everything and they were both scarlet by the end of the conversation.
"Ok well Draco this here as you know is a toaster. You put the bread inside these slots like this and push this lever down. When it is cooked it pops up again in like three minutes. What do you think of what he proposed pardon the pun?" he said as Draco called out fuck in an angry way but not for the reason Harry was thinking.
"I'm an idiot! Severus has all of his Snakes read the school charter and rules when they arrive and remember every one of them. He says it is our job to remember them and not his job to remind us of them. It says in the rules that once you start your education at the school after being sorted you must complete your education there for all seven years as voted on by the Wizengamot and signed into law by Minister Bagnold an old Minister for magic!" he said as Harry paled. This meant they'd have to return.
"Well then we should of course return but what say we do it in style huh?" he asked as Draco smirked.
"I'd have to disinherit myself actually no I wouldn't I forgot I already did that. Well I did that but I delayed it being notified. They will only know about it when I say they can. If I don't say they can then they will not know it until it is too late. We have six weeks do you want to do this?" he asked Harry who looked thoughtful.
"To be honest it is this or many more months of hell at the hands of those who are supposed to care about me but don't. I will need to call Sirius on the mirror he gave me for emergency contact. I will ask Dobby to make sure he is alone and cannot be overheard!" he said doing just that. Sirius was actually in his bedroom getting dressed when he shrieked as Dobby popped in and warded the room silent.
"Master Harry Potter sir needs you to call him and he needs to know no one can hear you. I have made it silent here so you will not be disturbed!" he informed Sirius seriously as his mirror heated up and he opened it seeing Harry's face and heaving a sigh of relief.
"Oh pup I am so glad you're alright. Listen I knew you were the whole time anyway but I want you to know I love you my godson!" he said as Harry shed a small tear.
"Sirius I know you probably know what was in that letter I sent Hermione but it was a prank. I need you to give me a vow now on your life and magic that you will never share with anyone what I tell you next. In your vow you must include even under the use of the imperius curse or veritas serum as I wouldn't put it past anyone to try that trick on you and think they can get away with it!" he said as Sirius frowned.
"Well Harry I will do it but I am hurt you cannot trust me on your own. I Sirius Orion Black do hereby swear on my magic and life to never reveal Harry James Potters secrets whether under the influence of veritas Serum or the imperius curse. I will always tell Harry James Potter the genuine truth no matter how it will make him feel. Should I be imperiused to tell anyone anything I am to spout nonsense until they stop it so mote it be!" he said the vow taking place.
"Ok then Sirius I do trust you but not those around you and that is the truth. I don't trust that they wouldn't try something smart to try and get information about me from you. The truth is I am in a fideliused house but I am my own secret keeper. I am not in France either but in another location in Privet Drive itself. I cannot go into the specifics. As you heard in my letter I am gay what do you think of it?" he asked shocked as Sirius laughed his head off for a moment before calming down.
"Oh Harry you legend. I do love you. A true prank worthy of the Marauders. Mad Eye Moody is currently stationed in the magical district of Monte Marte in Paris looking for you. He'll be there for weeks oh this is too much! As to your being gay I couldn't care less what the hell you are so long as you're happy pup and I mean it. I think you broke Ginny Weasley's heart though. She hasn't stopped crying for days and has become highly antisocial. She doesn't leave her room much and when she does it is obvious she has just stopped crying" he said making a weird face as though he didn't really understand her heartbreak all that much. Draco sat at the opposite side of the table listening intently. He knew that Sirius was like a father to Harry and his input was very important indeed. He of course knew the man was innocent as Peter Pettigrew had been at his house for months now gloating about his freedom and success in framing Sirius Black. Draco had this excellent ability where he could become so quiet you could quite easily forget he was even there which happened a lot and as a consequence of this he often heard way more than he should have.
"Well I can't help that. I am sorry for her but she'll have to get over herself a little bit. Besides which I found someone and I want to know what you would think if I um married him?" he said going so scarlet he could have almost been a Weasley.
"I gave a vow to keep your secrets and tell you the absolute truth and here it is. I would genuinely rather you didn't do this without me present but I can see that might not be possible. Who would you intend to marry and would it be here or in the muggle world?" he asked as Harry looked over the mirror to Draco.
"Can I tell him about us or would you rather he not know about it for now?" he asked as Draco smiled.
"Of course you can. I know how much he means to you sweetie!" Draco said as the mirror was placed on the table and swivelled showing a delighted and much healthier Draco then Sirius had ever seen.
"Suffice it to say you look better and healthier than I've ever seen you looking Draco. I am animagus and have been around you without your knowledge for Harry obviously although I must confess myself extremely confused. Don't you two like hate each other? I've seen how you behave before and it's not one bit cool!" he said seriously as they exchanged a look he didn't like.
"Yes well due to memory erases and hatred potions keyed at one another it is reasonable that we hated each other because we were being forced to but I am not sure by whom. I am assuming it was done by someone who finds my gayness an outrage on society. In the muggle world you know they've moved past this now. Severus Snape is the godfather to Draco and now I must ask you some difficult questions and I want a simple yes or no answer no matter what. This matters to me Sirius and it shouldn't but it does none the less. Did James bully Severus?" he asked as Sirius paled considerably.
"Actually yes he did. Lily was extremely fond of Severus for many years as they had been best friends and James was jealous. He wanted her all to himself and while she was friends with Severus let's just face facts she wasn't really looking at anyone else. She didn't love Severus but James couldn't take it. He was young and stupid and his stupid pride did prevent him from apologising to him. I wasn't much better myself unfortunately but I had grown up in a shit family and at least I can say I apologised. That might sound petty but it's how I feel" he said with a grimace.
"Ok and did Severus defend himself?" Draco asked suddenly very interested in the conversation.
"Initially no he didn't. We didn't know why until Lily told us why. He unfortunately lived much like poor Harry did as a child. He had grown up not defending himself because no one at home had done it for him. When he eventually joined the death eaters with my brother Regulus he tortured many people and when Lily called him out on it they stopped being friends. I'm sorry but while I loved James like a brother I was never more disappointed in him when he couldn't say sorry. I'd been raised in an abusive hell hole myself and I managed to say sorry" he said shedding a small tear surprising Draco greatly.
"Then do you know why he's so horrible to Harry all the time. That man is my godfather and I trust with him my life. He is excellent at hiding his true feelings more so then anyone I've ever met except when it comes to Harry. When it comes to him it's like he has a beacon over his head which flashes and says aloud I hate you or something!" Draco said sounding annoyed.
"Yes. Harry looks like his father and Severus was never ever able to get over that I had such an awful life and apologised and James who'd had a good life could never apologise. He resented him so much for that and you by extension because you were his son and looked so much like his tormenter. Dumbledore didn't help either because he has always favoured Gryffindor over all the houses and gives them a way easier time than he ever does for the other houses!" he said seriously as Draco nodded.
"Thanks for that. It feels good to know that. At least there is a reason. I was terrified there might not be one. Do you think if we do decide to marry at the bank in an official ceremony you could come? It would mean so much to us. I would invite Severus but it wouldn't be safe for him to come and besides which I don't truly think he could control himself!" he said as Sirius laughed.
"Of course I would come. Nothing would make me happier than to see my son happily married. Hurt him Draco and it will be the very last thing you do. I don't imagine him with the name Malfoy though that will take some time to get used to!" he chuckled awkwardly.
"Oh yeah about that um I'm not Draco Malfoy anymore. Essentially say hello to Draco Warrens. I've disinherited myself so my vile father cannot reach me. He wanted me to become a death eater. He was going to force me and I cannot allow that to happen so I'm here in safety!" he said as Sirius gasped really loudly crying.
"Well done son. I am so proud of you. You are brave like me. This happened in my youth too. My own mother may she rot in hell was going to force me to take the mark so I had to run away and it did save my live. Oh you beautiful brave boy Draco! Please know I love you too ok. Anyone that bring poor Harry here any happiness at all will get my love for sure. When's the date then?" he asked cheekily as Harry blushed from beside Draco where he was now sitting.
"We don't know we'll let you know we…"
"Ah my fucking heart! What the hell was that? Did you hear that it fucking popped!?" Draco said looking panicked and rising with his wand.
"Draco your toast is done. It makes this noise when it's done!" Harry said himself and Sirius laughing like loons. The call was ended on a high note as they smiled. They had of course decided to do this but first of all Draco needed a crash course on Muggle home items. This would be fun indeed.
