Chapter 20: Getting Ready
It had been three days since Jersey had died, Slowly Zan was learning to become Draco, controlling his powers and getting both sets of memories back. Harry was up day and night looking through books. Within three hours of being home on the first day Harry had translated Jersey's message. 'You are able to bring me back to life. Use the heart, body, and soul potion. Only you Harry, no one else.' "I'm not going to have time! I can't even find the damn book!" Harry yelled slamming down '100 potions you'll learn to love.' "There is nothing lovable about this wretched book!"
"I couldn't help over hearing sirs that yous be looking for a book. I'm sures Master won't mind yous taking this one to Hogwarts. I'll pack your trunk for yous, school starts in two days and tomorrow yous board the train sirs."
"I'm not going Macey! I am not leaving this house until I have her back."
"Harry, I believe my sister told you to go on with your life. Do you think she meant sit locked up in a library with musty old tomes making yourself crazy trying to find the right book, in which page 714 would contain a potion that needs two weeks to brew and a necromancer to channel her could, and all this just happens to be in the book I mysteriously gave Macey. I want her back just as much as you do, probably even worse. You got luckier, you don't have to live with having killed her."
"Draco it's not your fault, it's mine. I should have stunned you quicker than I did. It's not your fault, because she knew what would happen before we went into the house. Thank you for the book, but I don't necromance." Harry's face dropped. 'I'm never getting her back.'
"Just because you don't doesn't mean you can't bring her back, and that's where I come in. Didn't Jersey tell you I can channel the dead? The potion says only the one who loves her most can make the potion so it works, it doesn't say you can't use an outside necromancer, it is a rare gift after all." Draco smiled. Harry nodded in agreement and made his way out of the library.
"Harry, it's good to see you out. Have you had anything to eat? If not Sirius will have my head. He's keeping his word to Jersey and your parents, but it's starting to get ridiculous." Lucius said, stopping in the hall in black swimming trunks.
"I'll grab something before I start to pack for Hogwarts. Thank you for letting me stay here over the summer, and I'm sorry for causing so much trouble."
"What trouble? If I remember correctly Severus and I started it by not being honest with them at the beginning. Jersey wouldn't want you two to be blaming yourselves. However, since Jersey will be back in two weeks you'll have to come up with an excuse for why she isn't with you and inform Severus and Albus before you leave so they can tell the same lie as you two. After you pack, why don't you come out and enjoy the nice day and pool? I mean it's the last day Harry will be plain old Harry to a bunch of people. Now that he's to quote Jers, 'Abso-bloody-lutely smoking,' a lot of people are going to notice you and many girls will want you, but don't worry I'm sure once Jersey is back she'll take care of them. Severus said you might have trouble in Gryffindor, or Jersey may have trouble at school due to what happened. If that happens Harry one of you may have to be moved to keep all of you out of trouble, when and if it does, send an owl to the school governors addressed to my name and I'll take care of it, well off you go. Oh, and Drake make sure he eats something." With that Lucius made his way outside.
"Well, that was interesting, you do know the school will think she's engaged to Blaise right? I mean there was never anything about their break up. Well, let's figure out a lie first and then send a letter to the ministry and prophet. They'll have him arrested for using an unforgivable curse on her, that's how we'll get him out of school. First, let's get to your room and we'll get Macey to get you food from the kitchen." Draco grabbed Harry's arm and started pulling him to the bedroom.
"Sirs I's was just packing for master Harry. Is there's anything I's can get yous?" Macey asked, handing a pile of clothes to another house elf.
"Yes, you can go get Harry food from the kitchen. He hasn't ate since he's been back. Ok, Harry about this, um alias, what can we say? I mean every guy and every Slytherin will notice she's not there." Draco waved his wand saying pack. At Harry's confused look he spoke up. "I have to get use to it again. We can't just wave our hands because it will bring up too many questions. Hey, you're a normal guy Har, your destiny's fulfilled, it will be the first year you won't have to worry about anyone other than the Slytherins' whose parents were arrested or killed."
"I've been so busy I haven't thought about it. Dray, the Daily Prophet never had an article about it either."
"Well, Dumbledore told them that if thy wanted to write the article and interview you, to wait until you were ready. The questions are on the desk over there, if you fill them out now, I'll write about the break up and we can send them off today so it's in the prophet tomorrow. Well, how does it feel to live like the rest of us?"
"A lot less stressful, I'll be better when Jers is back, but it's a relief. I think we should tell everyone she needed a few weeks to get over the fact that Blaise had her under the Imperious curse, that way we aren't lieing, but we aren't telling them the whole truth."
"Great. Well, eat up, and I'll meet you by the pool." Draco finished up the letter and placed it on the desk next to Harry's questions.
