A Whisper too Late
Harry's first two months were uneventful, time seemed to pass so quickly. Severus could often be heard whining about how pitiful Professor McGonagall was as a defense teacher and how that woman was so biased against the Slytherins that someone should really give her an official reprimand for her blatantly obvious 'favoritism'. Nobody complained about the others teachers and it was generally agreed that the transfiguration professor was the best teacher in the entire school.
A huge smile played across Harry's lips as he continued to suck on the lemon drop. He'd gotten it from his professor for transfiguring his pencil into such a 'useful' muggle item [ it was a bubblegum machine]. There was no doubt about it, the man had an affinity for sweets. Oh well, made getting good marks that much easier.
Severus seemed unable to make friends his own age yet but the third years seemed to have all adopted him into their flock. Lucius Malfoy had even promised to sneak the first year to Hogsmeade with them that weekend. Severus seemed to be spending less and less time with his twin, who consequently kept disappearing. Not that Severus really worried all too much about that, with all of his brother's constant explorations it was no wonder he didn't already have a detailed map of the entire place in his mind yet.
* Haraalden, pleassse tell me why we mussst travel all the way to thissss corridor to sspeak with someone?
"I've told you this already Circes, this is the third floor corridor noone comes here not even Filch the place is totally abandoned."
*Harry walked towards the third door on the right and cast 'alohomora' and walked inside with Circes curiously following.*
* Why is it you can't even tell me the name of the friend we arrre meeting?
" Well, the thing is..." Harry rubbed the back of his head sheepishly before continuing his statement. " We decided not to tell each other our names."
* WHAT!!!?? But then it could be a trick or a plot, what if something happens?
" No, it's not like that we just decided it would be for the best since there's a chance at any point and time we won't be able to talk anymore. We thought that if we didn't know each other's names we could always convince ourselves it wasn't real when we spoke together."
* ... that makessssss absssoloutely no sense.
Harry smiled as he waited for his 'friend' to contact them.
~ Hi! I'm really sorry my aunt and uncle have been... keeping me really busy. How are you can you tell me anymore about your school? ~
"Sure, but only if you tell me about what it's like living with muggles. I still can't believe you've never heard of this place."
* Masssster? Can you tell him sssomething for me?
~Tell me what? Who's the other person? ... Y'know even if we don't give each other our /real/ names why don't we find something else to go in their place this wholeavoiding names thing is hard. Plus, if worse comes to worse if you have a name I can say it's an imaginary friend.~
" Hmmm, then I'll be Michael! Yupppers, that sounds good huh?"
~ hee hee, perfect! I'll be uhhh, I know I'll tell you my middle name as my alias."
Circes would have facefaulted if it were physically possible for a snake to do so and then proceeded to listen carefully to the conversation. The boy's voice was strangely familiar and yet childish so much that there was no way he should know the person [Circes had this thing about children before he met Haralden], another strange fact was the similar thought patterns between the two children. Nonetheless, their was no more Circes could do to the situation but hope and pray that whatever it ws worked out alright in the end.
~ Wait, I don't have a middle name!!! Nooooooo, now I'll never have a name for naming and doing all that talking and .... And argh!~
* Call yourself Dea, trussssst me, it would be as if you were a god
The snake grinned at its' inadvertent pun at the child's expense. The child on the other hand...
~ Dea? Neat, I like it my name's now Dea.~
As their conversation continued Severus frantically searched the corridors for his brother. Being gone for a few hours was no problem but Harry had been missing the entire day! Although he could see why Harry would want to miss history of magic [the class was a joke]. Eventually Severus caught a boy running about the halls, muttering to himself enter the third floor corridor.
Damning himself yet again Severus followed the nutter [with the hopes of sending them to the sky should they attempt at friendship, *shudder * he' had enough of those].
It seemed as if he'd been following forever when he heard the boy shut up and open the door to one of the rooms.
"YOU, I WILL MAKE YOU SUFFER!!!! * insert evil girly cackle here*"
Severus watched the boy scream this at- Harry?
The twins seeing each other nodded heads before doing the first thing that came to mind.
" Pinkus Barbus!"
" Voldie's love slave!!!"
"....?"
*Harry scratched his head sheepishly * " First thing that came to mind?
" Haralden, you scare me."
"Yuppies, now what are we going to do with him *indicates boy currently frozen by shock*, Sevrin?"
"Shut-up, I'm thinking or at least attempting thought-damn."
" Sevrin.... Can I put yellow polka dots on him?"
"Whatever, I'm thinking"
"Polkas dotitus argentium!"
"I thought you said 'yellow'?"
Sev stared at his brother before biting his tongue at the reply.
" I forgot the words, still worked though."
*attempting a stern look Severus glared at him. *
"Haralden, how could you be so irresponsible you could have turned him into a toad- FOREVER, doing that sort of stuff. Really have more common sense, what if you accidentally used a dark curse on him because you 'forgot the words' he could be a twitching mass of flesh turned inside out and removed of bones and-"
Severus tirade was cut short by the boy pissing himself, Sev and Harry laughed at this and decided on their course of action.
Smiling they chorused "Oblivate, inconspicis!"
Absentmindedly the boy left. They later caught him walk into the great hall and heard McGonagall raise a fuss about how she couldn't undo the spells on 'Peter' and speculate that it must have been one of those horrid Slytherin boys. The woman was so biased!
Well, even if she did have a point.
"Harry, what were you doing in that corridor?"
"Sevrin, I thought you weren't going to call me that at school... now I get to umm tickle you!"
"I am NOT ticklish!"
A pink haired boy sauntered past the Slytherin tables vaguely wondering what was so familiar about those two. Maybe it was nothing, his eyes were getting really sore from that " I love Voldemort and his deatheaters" neon sign on his robes, not that he could read it mind you.
"Haralden, why doesn't his shirt say Voldie's bitch?"
"Sevrin! Watch your language, I think their may be some censorship wards on the school? Or maybe what I said wasn't what I meant."
" So you love Voldemort and all his deatheaters?"
"NO! I mean that I meant for his sign to look like that."
"You did?"
"Shut-up and eat Sevrin."
"EVERYONE, DUCK !!!!!!!"
An: yup, yes, it's short and maybe, sorta, kinda, rushed *trying to adjust to the commas being my friends thing * I would have had this up yesterday but I forgot to actually put it up. Thankies for the reviews like always luv you guys! [guys being the general gender ambiguous sort]. The voice is as you've prolly guessed canon Harry, now so it makes more sense to you canon Harry is a year younger than my Haralden/Harry. I'm still overjoyed at anyone willing to lend a helpful hint towards what to do to lockhart or Pettigrew next. Well that's all for now, quack!
Michini that isn't: Maybe I should bug you to beta for me or ... I don't know it's easier to see other's mistakes I guess. Well, la! And it was miqitio or something like that not to be affiliate with the muggle bloodsuckers we have. ^____^
Deity: As always Yay! It's a pleasure to have you review my story, I'm so happy! 9p.s. Sanity is overatted, darn got Pettigrew on the brain, need more torture!
Wormtail's worst enemy; sorry I'm horrible I wasn't sure how to fit in the robes thing but I did give him gold polka dots and made him wet himself. ^______^ I enjoyed your suggestion!
Lassy D: I just saw your e-mail and checked with my mom about what your measurement would look like. Your reasoning's pretty cool so I'm going to go back and change the wand, it should be about that size by the time you read this chapter. ^____^ Thankies!
