6. I have to sleep with Leo?
(Posted 05/26/03 - Monday)
(Revision #2 11/06/03 - Thursday)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Two weeks flew by. On the days Harry wasn't crushed under chores, Kazuki would go over to the Dursleys and borrow him for the day. The cross-dresser had them wrapped around his little pinky. It was on that second Saturday morning, when Harry had a rest day that Severus' Dark Mark burned. He changed into his Death Eater robes and left without a word.
"Oh bugger," said Loki, stabbing his ham and cheese omelet. "Uncle went to his Death Eater meeting without telling me."
"You were asleep," Remus said, bacon sizzling in the frying pan. "I would have waked you if Severus hadn't left so fast."
"You crazy people," Leo said, yawning as he walked into the kitchen. "I don't understand how you people can wake up so freaking early. It's summer vacation for God's sake. It is a time for sleeping in and lounging around doing nothing productive at all."
"You're tired because you went to sleep late last night checking your stocks," said Loki.
"Good morning everyone," Sirius said cheerfully, coming through the backdoor with Harry behind. "It's a wonderful day. Where's my food?"
"I'm not your maid or your wife," said Remus, shaking his spatula at him. "Make your own food. Now Harry, what do you want for breakfast?
"The same as always thank you," Harry said, sitting down across from Loki. "I would ask why you're slewing your breakfast into mush but I see you're in your violent mode."
"Bravo to the Lightning Boy," Leo said, saluting him with a milk bottle and then drinking it straight out. "You've known Loki for two weeks and can already distinguish what mode he's in. And why the hell you're over here so early?"
"We're building a tree house in the backyard," said Harry. "It's great fun."
Leo looked at him and said, "I would be less surprised if you've just announced your engagement to Loki and you guys are going to run off together into the sunset, throwing flower petals behind."
It was Harry's turn to look at Leo funnily. "You haven't had your morning coffee, have you?"
"Ran out," said Loki. "Leo really needs his caffeine rush in the morning for his brain to function correctly."
"Moony~~~please cook for me," begged Sirius. "Carpentry is hard work."
"Fine, I'll cook for you this time but you're making dinner since Kazuki's in charge of today's lunch," said Remus. "And Padfoot, no takeouts like last night."
"Now that you mention it, where's Kazuki?" asked Harry. "I haven't seen him since he brought me over."
"I smell a crush~~~" Loki said, abandoning his smashed omelet and stealing Leo's bottle of milk.
"What are you talking about?" Harry said, cheeks flushing a dark pink. "I'm just wondering where he is. If you or anyone else weren't here, I would have wondered too."
"You haven't asked about Uncle," Loki said huffing. "Hypocrite."
"Okay, I'm sorry, where did he go?" Harry said sincerely.
"Severus was called in for a Death Eater meeting," Remus informed, putting two plates in front of Harry and Sirius. "I hope he gets back soon."
"The later the better," said Sirius.
"Oh crud," Leo said, banging his head on the table. "Shouldn't have said that."
"YOU WATCH WHAT YOU SAY BLACK!" screamed Loki. "ONE WORD OUT OF LINE AND I'LL GET THE MINISTRY ON YOUR ASS! I ASSURE YOU, THIS IS NO IDLE THREAT!"
"And you think I'm bad when someone doesn't know about the Internet," said Leo.
"I'm back," Kazuki said, closing the front door. "Who's yelling? I can hear you outside."
The computer programmer came in, two paper bags of groceries in his arms.
"Sirius made a remark about Professor Snape," Harry said, taking one of the bags from the small boy. "Loki lost his temper."
"Loki, here," Kazuki said, throwing him a cherry-flavored Popsicle.
"Thanks," Loki said gleefully, catching the cold treat. "Haven't had these in ages."
"I knew how you much you loved Popsicles so I bought some," Kazuki said, storing away the groceries. "Got a couple of flavors. Cherry, lemon, orange, et cetera."
"That was thoughtful of you," said Remus.
"If he gets in his yelling mood, give him one," whispered Kazuki as Loki peeled off the plastic wrapper. "Oh, and only one. Any more and he'll be on sugar high for the next hour. You don't want that to happen."
"Gotcha," said Harry.
Kazuki pulled out a can of instant coffee and gave it to Leo.
"There is a God," Leo proclaimed, kissing the label.
A thump was heard upstairs.
"Let's see," said Loki. "I'm here, Kazuki, Leo, Harry, Mr. Lupin, and Mr. Black. We're all here, which means~~~"
"Mr. Snape is back," said Leo.
"Oh good," said Kazuki.
After a minute of things moving around, steps came down from the stairs. Severus had taken off his robes and was wearing his Muggle attire. The person standing shyly behind him produced varying reactions. Sirius and Remus took out their wands, Harry was shocked speechless, Loki looked ecstatic, Kazuki was calculating how much more money he'll need to feed an extra person, and Leo was brewing his coffee.
"Malfoy!" Harry exclaimed when he got his wits together. "What are you doing here?"
"Be more polite Lightning," said Loki.
"Lightning?" thought Draco. "Interesting nickname."
"Lupin, Green, put your wands away," said Severus. "Draco will be staying with us for the remaining summer. You know Potter and Lupin. The rest of you do self-introduction."
"I'm Aries Green," said Sirius, following Severus' lead. "Acquaintance of Severus and your future Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher."
"Really?" said Harry.
"Yes, I'm afraid so," said Severus. "The Headmaster sent us a letter last night."
"So you're Jr.!" Loki said, jumping from his chair and grabbing Draco. "Stop hiding behind Uncle and let us see how you look."
"You're Uncle Sev's nephew?" said Draco, a bit skittish and surprised. "You look different from what I imagined."
The Malfoy heir was around the same height and built as Loki. He blamed it on his Veela blood. His platinum-white hair was not slicked back for once, making him quite beautiful with his flawless pale skin. His gray eyes projected anxiety.
"Hello, I'm Kazuki," the motherly boy introduced himself. "You won't mind us calling you Draco, would you?"
"No, umm, don't want to sound discourteous but are you a girl or a boy?" asked Draco, confused at Kazuki's facial features but wasn't going to badmouth a boy for looking too much like a girl.
"He's a boy," said Leo, glancing at Draco. "I'm Leo."
"Leo is a man of few words," said Loki before turning back to Draco with a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Now Jr., we can't have you in robes during your stay here."
"No Loki," said Leo.
"What?" Loki asked innocently.
"You're not going to dress him up as a girl," Leo said, bringing his plate to the sink. "Give him one of your outfits for today and then go buy new clothes with him."
"Aww, but Jr. would look good as a girl," said Loki. "A weave for long hair, some make-up, a cute dress and he'll have guys falling over him."
"I don't think he would like that," said Kazuki. "Are you hungry Draco?"
"Not really," Draco replied, scared that Loki wanted to dress him up as a Muggle girl. "I ate a snack before coming here."
"Let's get you changed," Loki said, seizing Kazuki's arm as well. "Kazuki would make sure I'm going to dress you as a normal Muggle boy so wipe that frightened look off your face."
"Doesn't look like Malfoy is going to hex or insult me so I'm going back to building the tree house," said Harry. "You coming Aries?"
"Huh, what, yea," Sirius said, not used to his false name. "I'll be with you in a minute."
"I'll be in the basement," Leo said, leaving the kitchen.
That left Remus, Sirius, and Severus.
"What were you thinking?" Sirius blew up. "You can't just bring a Death Eater's son here. He's a threat to Harry."
"Lower your voice," hissed Severus. "You have no idea how difficult it was for me to convince Lucius and Voldemort to let Draco stay with me. They think I'm teaching him Dark Potions."
"But why did you bring him here?" said Remus, cringing at You-Know-Who's name.
"He has an indecisive personality but he knows his father is on the wrong side," said Severus. "I'm his godfather so I feel responsible for his future. I brought him here because I know Loki and his friends could help him be more confident in his choice to be on the Light side."
"Should have told us that earlier," Sirius said, sensing Severus' concern. "He's your godson like Harry is mine."
"Let's make a compromise then," said Severus. "I'll stop verbally attacking Potter if you be civil to Draco."
"Agreed," said Sirius.
"Don't you have to shake on it?" Remus said, washing the dirty dishes. "To make it final."
Sirius and Severus grumbled some inaudible words. The Potions Master sighed and stuck his hand out first. Sirius looked at the pale hand with long, smooth fingers.
"Well?" said Severus.
Sirius covered Severus' hand with his own and shook it. He didn't let it go though. Instead he held it up and pressed his hand against it so it was palm-to-palm.
"What are you doing?" Severus said, not removing his hand just yet.
"Never knew your hand was so small," remarked Sirius.
"Idiot," Severus said, taking away his hand. "I'm going to the laboratory to brew Lupin's Wolfsbane Potion."
"Already?" said Remus. "I won't need it until next week."
"I don't know if I would be called to another meeting," said Severus. "Either another Death Eater one or an Order one."
Kazuki, Loki, and Draco returned. Malfoy Jr. was dressed in faded blue jeans, gray sneakers, and a white T-shirt.
"I didn't have a lot of clothes that would match his skin and hair color so I went with neutral colors," said Loki. "We're going to the local mall now, anyone want to come with us?"
"I'll ask Harry," said Kazuki, going out to the backyard.
"I'll get Leo," said Loki. "In the basement, right?"
Severus nodded. Loki went to the hallway and opened the door by the stairs that goes to the basement.
"LEO!" screamed Loki. "SHUT OFF YOUR COMPUTER! WE'RE GOING TO THE MALL WITH JR.!"
"OKAY! GIVE ME A SEC!"
"He's coming," said Loki. "Uncle?"
"I can't," said Severus. "Have work to do."
"I'll let you go this time," said Loki.
"Harry's coming with us," Kazuki said, Harry walking in too. "He needs new clothes also."
"I'm cleaning out the attic today," said Remus. "Have fun."
"Aries, that leaves you," said Severus. "The kids need someone to control them."
"Okay," said Sirius. "I should form some bonds with my future students anyway."
So he went to the mall with the bunch of teenagers and he had to give Severus credit. Going out with Loki and the others were a handful and the Potions Master had gone out with them more than once. He protected Kazuki from harassers, stopped Loki from killing said harassers, and made sure Leo didn't go into any computer shops. Draco kept straying from the group, engrossed in Muggle devices, and had Harry explaining to him what each thing did.
"Okay, it's lunchtime," said Sirius. "Eat here or go home."
"Eat here and make dinner with what Kazuki bought today," said Loki. "Come on Jr. We're going to eat at McDonald's."
"McDonald's?" said Sirius and Draco.
"A fast food joint," said Leo.
This was a new experience for Sirius and Draco, both from pureblooded families. Kazuki got everyone's orders and went with Leo to the cashier since the hacker carried the money. The rest found a vacant table fit for all of them.
"What kind of cuisine is this?" Draco said, eyes wandering to the nearby tables.
"It's not really a cuisine," Harry said, getting along surprisingly well with the blonde. "More like food made fast for people who has no time to cook or don't feel like cooking."
"And it's very good," said Loki. "I'll get some ketchup, napkins, and stuff."
Before long, Leo and Kazuki got their orders done. A simple request from Kazuki and two male employees volunteered to help carry their food. Eating was entertaining. Draco tried to eat neatly but after several failed attempts, he gave up and ate like everyone else.
"I have to clear something with Draco," Loki said, biting into his double cheeseburger. "He has to sleep somewhere."
"There are no more free rooms," Sirius said, dunking his fries in ketchup. "Remus is cleaning the attic but it'll take a few more days to furnish the place."
"How many rooms are in that house?" Harry asked, swiping Loki's onion rings.
"Three upstairs," said Leo. "Mr. Lupin and Mr. Green has the master bedroom and Severus gets two because one is for sleeping and the other was turned into a laboratory."
"Where do you three sleep at?" asked Draco. "Not the living room I hope."
"Basement," Loki said, stealing one of Leo's chocolate cookies. "There's a queen-size bed and bunk bed down there. We have a full bathroom too so we're like living in a cramped apartment."
"So who got the nice bed?" said Harry.
"We picked straws and Leo won the queen-size bed," said Kazuki.
"I have the solution!" said Loki. "Jr. can share the bed with Leo until the attic is ready."
"What?" Draco squeaked, blushing. "You want me to sleep with Leo?"
"Get your head out of the gutter," said Leo. "And no, I'm not sharing my bed."
"There's nothing wrong with my idea," said Loki. "Jr. is part of the gang now so it's alright sharing a bed with him."
"Leo, be a good friend and listen to Loki," said Kazuki. "Draco wouldn't do something harmful to you and for some bizarre reason he does, you can easily overpower him."
"Ugh! Fine," said Leo. 'Loki, I'll get you back for this.'
'You can try but you won't succeed,' said Loki, slurping his chocolate frosty.
"English guys," said Harry. "There are people here who doesn't speak Japanese."
"So you're part Japanese?" said Draco.
Their conversation moved to Japan and Japanese. Draco saw a man carrying a laptop and Leo patiently explained what it was, Sirius hanging on his every word. Kazuki inputted some information on how it works and what it can do. After lunch, they went to more stores and finally called it a day at five o'clock.
"We should bring all your new clothes downstairs," Loki said, opening the door. "Did you bring other things with you this morning?"
"Yes, school books and robes mostly," said Draco. "I only brought one trunk."
"You and Leo go get his trunk and we'll bring these bags to the basement," Sirius said, balancing some boxes in his arms.
"Okay," Draco said as Leo shrugged.
"You're really fine with sharing a bed with me, right?" Draco asked nervously when they've reached the upstairs' hallway.
"Yea," said Leo. "Is that your trunk?"
"Uh huh," confirmed Draco. "But you didn't seem happy about the sharing."
"You're not letting this go, are you?" said Leo, receiving an affirmative. "Truthfully, I move in my sleep and Loki knows it."
"And here I thought you disliked me," said Draco, relieved. "Don't worry about it. I move around myself."
"Glad that's solved," Leo said, lifting the trunk with ease.
"You need help?" Draco said, marveling at how a person who does almost nothing but sit in front of his Muggle mechanism all day could haul up his heavy trunk.
"Nope, I can carry this myself," Leo said, then hearing a crash. "Loki must have tripped over my cables again."
The two new bedmates walked quickly downstairs.

A.N. - My laptop died on me but have no fear, I have my desktop working ^_^v. I'm currently leaning towards Harry/Kazuki and Draco/Leo but there's still more than one month left for votes. The Severus/Sirius slash will come though you have to remember this fic is rated PG so you can't expect too much action. No one was supposed to get dirty thoughts from the Popsicle scene because when I get upset, I usually eat Popsicles. Keep reviewing and good luck on guessing the identity of Rin!
First time attempting to write a Harry Potter fic so be kind and R&R. And no one beta-ed this so don't mind my grammar mistakes.

6. I have to sleep with Leo?

(Revision #2 11/06/03 - Thursday)
------------------------------------------------------------------
Two weeks flew by. On the days Harry wasn't crushed under chores, Kazuki would go over to the Dursleys and borrow him for the day. The cross-dresser had them wrapped around his little pinky. It was on that second Saturday morning, when Harry had a rest day that Severus' Dark Mark burned. He changed into his Death Eater robes and left without a word.
"Oh bugger," said Loki, stabbing his ham and cheese omelet. "Uncle went to his Death Eater meeting without telling me."
"You were asleep," Remus said, bacon sizzling in the frying pan. "I would have waked you if Severus hadn't left so fast."
"You crazy people," Leo said, yawning as he walked into the kitchen. "I don't understand how you people can wake up so freaking early. It's summer vacation for God's sake. It is a time for sleeping in and lounging around doing nothing productive at all."

"Bravo to the Lightning Boy," Leo said, saluting him with a milk bottle and then drinking it straight out. "You've known Loki for two weeks and can already distinguish what mode he's in. And why the hell you're over here so early?"
"We're building a tree house in the backyard," said Harry. "It's great fun."
Leo looked at him and said, "I would be less surprised if you've just announced your engagement to Loki and you guys are going to run off together into the sunset, throwing flower petals behind."
It was Harry's turn to look at Leo funnily. "You haven't had your morning coffee, have you?"
"Ran out," said Loki. "Leo really needs his caffeine rush in the morning for his brain to function correctly."
"Moony~~~please cook for me," begged Sirius. "Carpentry is hard work."
"Fine, I'll cook for you this time but you're making dinner since Kazuki's in charge of today's lunch," said Remus. "And Padfoot, no takeouts like last night."

"YOU WATCH WHAT YOU SAY BLACK!" screamed Loki. "ONE WORD OUT OF LINE AND I'LL GET THE MINISTRY ON YOUR ASS! I ASSURE YOU, THIS IS NO IDLE THREAT!"
"And you think I'm bad when someone doesn't know about the Internet," said Leo.
"I'm back," Kazuki said, closing the front door. "Who's yelling? I can hear you outside."
The computer programmer came in, two paper bags of groceries in his arms.
"Sirius made a remark about Professor Snape," Harry said, taking one of the bags from the small boy. "Loki lost his temper."
"Loki, here," Kazuki said, throwing him a cherry-flavored Popsicle.
"Thanks," Loki said gleefully, catching the cold treat. "Haven't had these in ages."
"I knew how you much you loved Popsicles so I bought some," Kazuki said, storing away the groceries. "Got a couple of flavors. Cherry, lemon, orange, et cetera."
"That was thoughtful of you," said Remus.
"If he gets in his yelling mood, give him one," whispered Kazuki as Loki peeled off the plastic wrapper. "Oh, and only one. Any more and he'll be on sugar high for the next hour. You don't want that to happen."

"Agreed," said Sirius.
"Don't you have to shake on it?" Remus said, washing the dirty dishes. "To make it final."
Sirius and Severus grumbled some inaudible words. The Potions Master sighed and stuck his hand out first. Sirius looked at the pale hand with long, smooth fingers.

"English guys," said Harry. "There are people here who doesn't speak Japanese."
"So you're part Japanese?" said Draco.
Their conversation moved to Japan and Japanese. Draco saw a man carrying a laptop and Leo patiently explained what it was, Sirius hanging on his every word. Kazuki inputted some information on how it works and what it can do. After lunch, they went to more stores and finally called it a day at five o'clock.
"We should bring all your new clothes downstairs," Loki said, opening the door. "Did you bring other things with you this morning?"
"Yes, school books and robes mostly," said Draco. "I only brought one trunk."
"You and Leo go get his trunk and we'll bring these bags to the basement," Sirius said, balancing some boxes in his arms.
"Okay," Draco said as Leo shrugged.
"You're really fine with sharing a bed with me, right?" Draco asked nervously when they've reached the upstairs' hallway.
"Yea," said Leo. "Is that your trunk?"
"Uh huh," confirmed Draco. "But you didn't seem happy about the sharing."
"You're not letting this go, are you?" said Leo, receiving an affirmative. "Truthfully, I move in my sleep and Loki knows it."
"And here I thought you disliked me," said Draco, relieved. "Don't worry about it. I move around myself."
"Glad that's solved," Leo said, lifting the trunk with ease.
"You need help?" Draco said, marveling at how a person who does almost nothing but sit in front of his Muggle mechanism all day could haul up his heavy trunk.
"Nope, I can carry this myself," Leo said, then hearing a crash. "Loki must have tripped over my cables again."
The two new bedmates walked quickly downstairs.

A.N. - My laptop died on me but have no fear, I have my desktop working ^_^v. I'm currently leaning towards Harry/Kazuki and Draco/Leo but there's still more than one month left for votes. The Severus/Sirius slash will come though you have to remember this fic is rated PG so you can't expect too much action. No one was supposed to get dirty thoughts from the Popsicle scene because when I get upset, I usually eat Popsicles. Keep reviewing and good luck on guessing the identity of Rin!
