Chapter Elven: Family and Parvati
Emerald met deep blue as Harry looked into the eyes of the woman before him, arms bond and legs tied has if she were a crucifix. Reaching up Harry pushed a dirty blonde strand of hair from her face. He had been staring at her for at least ten minutes, lost deep in thought at the sight of the girl. She wore only a tattered gray dress that was streaked with blood and other grim, which was normal attire for wards of this hell on earth Harry realized. Nor was the almost dead eyes of a lost soul out of place either. But the thing that gripped his attention was the fact that she had barely even a squibs level of power coming from her. Which left more than one question unanswered.
"How did you kill all those people, with an almost non existent power source?" Harry demanded though his voice was barely over a whisper. Again pushing the same resistant strand of hair from the girls face. "And don't tell me you didn't, I can still feel the pleasure you derived from it. Even in this place. Which brings me to believe that dementors have no effect over you? So tell me how is this possible?" Harry questioned in a highly interested voice. Even through all of his minds training in shields and guarding ones emotions he still heard distant voices of his parents death in his head, even now without any dementors in the direct area. And has if someone breathed life into the girl, her eyes reflected a different gleam. And a warm and soft voice slipped from the girl, a voice that sounded as if it hadn't spend years in hell.
"Its simple really master. I was waiting for you." The girl answered smiling warmly to him, and now seemed to be fighting tooth and nail to free herself from her containers. Harry took a step back out of pure shock before waving his hand at the locks, which after emitting a soft click let the girl fall to legs. Though from non use of them after so many years the girl almost instantly fell forward, with Harry there to catch her.
"Waiting for me you say. Explain." Harry questioned sitting the girl on the floor and him sitting across from her. Harry all together waving away the girl calling him master, he had gotten so use to it from Dudley and his familiars it barely phased him. And to say the girl was actually waiting for him was quite odd in itself, after all before this day he hadn't even heard a rumor about this convicted mass murderer.
"Of course master." The girl began sweetly while she pulled herself, quite literally, into Harry's lap and rested her head on his chest. And again Harry was unfazed, he too would jump on anyone that had come and freed him from this terrible place. "Has I'm sure you know, during the war many families bonded with creatures they thought would help them win. My family was no different, save the creatures they bonded with. In fact it is of my knowledge that only one other family bonded with the same type of creatures." The girl paused here as if she was thinking.
"And that creature your family bonded with?" Harry pushed, running his hand through the girls hair. He would need to have her completely scrubbed, he was pretty sure she wouldn't disagree. Though the reaction the girl had to his did in fact phase him, she pushed her head into his hand and seemed to purring at his touch. He had seen this reaction only once, and that was with Rowena who in fact was currently during the same to his other hand.
"Midnight Phoenixes." The girl answered molding herself into Harry's chest has she spoke. "And has the heir of my family the power of their kind was invoked in me. Though at a price has all bonds have. I was to travel around from master to master until I found my true master who would claim me forever. And as such when my previous master died my bond to him did has well, and the form I took when I was with him died has well. Along with anyone around me in that moment." The girl finished wrapping herself completely into Harry now. And Harry who still didn't mind ran over all the facts in his head, she bore the same gifts has the midnight phoenix including immortality. And she now considered Harry her new master. The day was getting better and better it seemed.
"So then tell me." Harry questioned looking up at the dark ceiling. "How will you know when you have found your true master?" Harry asked looking down at the girl who smiled brightly and lifted up the sleeve of her dress and turned her arm over to reveal the underside of her wrist. An identical lightning bolt mark of his own placed on it, causing Harry to falter a bit when he looked at it.
"I know you are my true master. For I have lived your life along with you, every moment of it." The girl said sadly rubbing her hand against Harry's face, a sparkling silver tear falling from her face. Harry noticing that this one of the three-forms of which a midnight phoenix shed its tears, a silver to cure all wounds, a gold that served has a protection shield for three weeks on who ever it was shed on. And a black tear, which made the midnight birds feared for what they were. A single black tear had the power to bring down Hogwarts, wards and all, and most of hogsmeade in its wake. Harry flicked the tear from her face and watched it vanish into the grounds of the prison, and no sooner a bright white rose sprung from the spot. Though just has quick has the silver left her face, a several deep black tears took its place making Harry's body shake. But the girl paid no heed to these has she looked into his eyes.
"I'll make every last one of them pay for what they did you master. I swear it." The girl said with a fierce pride, though this was lost to Harry has he was currently collecting the black tears in a silver flask he conjured. But the girl smiled warmly to him and touched his face with her left index finger. "I wonder what powers my master will give me. The last one was pretty powerful, but I couldn't connect with him properly." The girl said looking down for a second, then back up to him. "So master, when do we conduct the bonding?"
The sudden question catching Harry off guard, the surprise showing in his eyes. "Well,...er... How do we do the bonding?" Harry managed through his stammers.
"Well, there are two ways master. One is having a black phoenix cry on me with a black tear." The girl said matter of factly, then a smile spread across her face. Lending forward to him and whispering in his ear the second way to conduct the bonding, which made Harry blush a deep scarlet. Which sent the girl into a deep and rich laugh at her master's reaction. "Either way is powerful, the first will enhance my powers from what they already are. And the second will grant me powers to help your own. Though I would prefer the second to the first, doing them both is even better." The girl finished now rubbing her hand over Rowena has Harry fought back his blush and nodding to her.
"Well, conduct the bonding once we get back to the manor." Harry said looking around the area. "It would be my first time and I will not have it done in this place." Harry said still blushing and the girl only nodded. "Which we should-" Harry was cut off when he felt a powerful blast of magical energy surge through Azkaban that nearly rivaled his own. On his first take he thought it to be Albus, but the power was much darker and more controlling. "Voldemort." Harry seethed standing quickly, nearly sending the girl to the floor though she managed to cling on long enough to get proper footing. Drawing his wand Harry sneered looking down at Rowena.
"Take her back to the manor and tell Dudley to get his ass over here." Harry commanded in powerful voice, Rowena roaring in response and snatching the girl up and vanishing into the void. Harry collecting himself and letting his power flow out from him vanished in a deep black light to the surge of power.
Twenty minutes earlier.
Draco only shook his head has the watched his cousin dash out of the office. He wouldn't never understand why he ran about being a hero to all the people that were ever wronged in the world. To him it was just another waste of time and energy. Sighing deeply Draco brushed his blonde locks from his hair.
"Now I need to find a new warden." Draco muttered leaning back in the smooth leather chair and looking up at the ceiling, when a drawled voice like his own reached his ears.
"And why might that be son?" Lucius (A/N: Spelling?) Malfoy smirked has he stepped through the rumble of the warden's door. His bare feet dipping into the cool blood on the floor making his face grimace. "I see then. Was this your work?" His father asked looking down at the ruined body then back to his son who was now on his feet and closing in.
'No father, that was all the work of a one Harry Jamison Orion." Draco replied holding his hand out to his father, the older blonde's eyes widening with surprise as he looked over his son. The younger of the Malfoy opening his mouth as though he was about to launch into explanation but his father merely held up his hand in response.
"I had hopes that you would gain control of the Orion name, but just has well the blood itself has returned." The older Malfoy acknowledged, his gray eyes narrowing on to his son. "And you are doing everything in your power to help your cousin aren't you?" The older demanded glaring at his son who in turn looked down.
"He is helping me father, in order to free you from his place." Draco explained and his father reached out for his son's wand. He had fear of losing his wand for receiving help, he could of course get another but he had grown fond of his current. Lucius nodded when his son handed over his wand and pointed it to his hair. The silent cutting hex tearing the pony tail from Lucius's head, causing Draco to gasp has he witnessed this. His father casting another spell to slick his hair back in the same manner of his son before pointing his wand at the boy, the hair growth spell causing the white blonde hair of the boy to fall around his shoulders, and another spell to wrap it into a pony tail.
"Then as such I pass the headship of the Malfoy family to you. The Malfoy family lines goes back almost as far has the Orion name does, and both families have always fought long side of each other and now is no different. " His father said nodding the boy and then eyeing the bracelet on his wrist and then to the boy. "I want you to remove that." His father demanded looking at the restrainer is distaste.
"Father if I let it go now, he'll know just powerful I am." Draco insisted looking down at the bracelet and then to his father. "I'll be showing my hand to soon." Draco finished but his father's face grew a cold gleam as he stared down the boy.
"You'll do as you are told. I haven't bowed down and severed for you to grow feet now." Lucius seethed standing over his son who in turn moved away. "You'll take that bracelet off, or I'll rip it off along with the rest of the bloody arm!" He raged glaring at his son, the younger of the two looking down for a moment before he tugged off the silver bracelet and allowing a white light to wash over him. And his power to consume him and shake him to the core, the force in which it burst from the boy causing the wards around the wardens off and the surrounding five levels to shatter. The process taking its course and awakening powers that were since locked away at birth, and the senior of the two watched in wait. And just has the white glow faded another flash took its place, though this one was sickening black.
Present time:
Harry appeared with his wand drawn to the back of the source, his emerald eyes turning once again to the almost black green. Only to find in the place where he thought Voldemort would surly be standing, a long haired Draco Malfoy along with a wand pointed at his stomach. Harry taking a second to take in all that he witness in the room, a torn silver bracelet laying on the floor in a crimson puddle left over by the warden as well has a superior looking Lucius Malfoy staring back at him.
"Why Draco, look how much you've grown." Harry said smirking and dropping his wand from the back of his cousin's head, and the wand at his stomach dropped has well. His cousin taking the time to turn around and face him before he blasted Harry off his feet with the same wand that was pointed at his stomach a second ago. Though before he hit the ground he had vanished and appeared next to his cousin and fired the same curse he had thrown at him, getting the same results. Draco reappearing at his side ready to fire ago but Harry threw up his Uncle's cane. "Time, we can finish this at home. I'm getting sick of this place and I have other matters to attend to." Harry pleaded and received a nod in response. Harry nodding back turned and walked over to his uncle that he had placed in hell and turned around and freed from it.
"Hello uncle Lucius." Harry said brightly holding out his hand to the said man, who nodded back and shook his hand.
"Hello young lord. I believe you have something of mine." His uncle retorted holding out his hand, in which Harry placed the ebony cane in. And seconds later it was snatched out of the man's hands and pressed against his neck by two massive arms. Two things happening in response Harry's laughter ringing through the room and Draco's disarming charm slamming into a very confused Dudley dursleys. And has Dudley slumped against the wall Harry was still in laughter until a flash of fire appeared in front of him.
"My lord, the woman is wandering around the house. What do you want me to do to her?" The hovering Lily thrilled to Harry who in turn shrugged at the bird. Before he vanished in another flash of black. Reappearing in front of one Parvati who was currently looking at herself in the hall way mirror, and leapt back in shock at Harry's sudden appearance. Harry's interest peaked he looked over the woman in front of him, a sudden lust burning in his stomach has he did so. And the gleam of which didn't go unnoticed to Parvati who smiled and pressed her self against him.
"Welcome home darling." She whispered into Harry's ears has she pressed her soft lips against his with a deranged hunger. Harry taking a second from shock before he recovered and pressed her body to his with the same hunger. Harry's actions surprising the both of them in two different manners. Harry's one of confusion of how he could so willingly accept her, when he was all a jitter when he was with Cho last year. And Parvati's one of happiness in which she expressed when she moaned and parted his lips with her tongue. Harry's immediately taking dominance over the girls making her moan again and took in Harry's essence with each passing moment until Harry broke the kiss by pulling the girl away from him.
"Well, that was certainly a welcomed hello." Harry said sly looking over the girl who held the same lust in her eyes as his own. "By just what are you doing here Parvati, shouldn't you be with your family?" Harry wondered has he watched her. It was of his knowledge that she was constantly seen with her sister why they were at school and hated being sorted different then her in the first place. So naturally he believed they spent every waking hour with each other when they were out of school. But the girl only shook her head and pressed against him again, running her hand along his neck lovingly.
"I killed them darling, so unless you wish me dead I can't be with them." She responded sweetly and looking into Harry's eyes again. "They wouldn't allow me to be with you, so I took care of them. As well as a very pesky drunk that was hiding outside of your house. Smelled like a burning sock that one did." She commented shrinking up her nose. And Harry growled deeply upon hearing this. It meant that Dumbledore still had his miserable little spies after him then. But before he let loose into a ranting Parvati growled too. "I knew that bastard shouldn't have been here. I'm glad I killed him then, screamed like a little muggle when I ripped him apart." She smiled to Harry and oddly enough the knowledge that she ripped someone to shreds outside of his former home seemed to calm him down.
"Well, then, all that's lets carry on then shall we." Harry said looking down at her, though his eyes frosted over again. "Just be warned. If you are working for either the half blood or the old fool, you will be joining your parents. Is that clear?" Harry seethed looking down at the woman, who in turn nodded and clung to him as though she were doing so for dear life. "Great, then lets press on. Just one thing though... I believe I should let the old fool know who he is messing with." And with that, he caused both of them to vanish in a black flash, though not before he dropped a silver flask in their wake.
Albus Dumbledore sat at the table of the burrow with a hardened face, awaiting the arrival of Ronald Weasley. He knew that Potter's birthday was coming up, and if so he would need to remove the charm he placed on the red head. He stroked his silver beard and looked across the table to Molly who seemed lost in thought, she was the one that chose to move the heir of the family to young Ronald after he assigned the boy to befriend the Potter boy. Though before he could sink into his muses the youngest male of the family appeared from the court yard and eyed the two of them.
"You called for me headmaster?" Ronald questioned sitting down at the table and looking over their grave faces. "Is this something to do with Potter?" He asked praying it didn't. He was really getting tired of dealing with the boy to be perfectly honest.
"Yes, and no." The headmaster began, pointing his wand at Ronald and letting a white beam connect with the boy's chest. "But you should be pleased to know, you no longer have to be friends with him. And I doubt it would be possible now even if I commanded it." The old man said chuckling, and holding up his hand to silence the boy who was currently whooping with joy. "Has you well know that you are the heir of your family."
"Yea so?" Ron said still smiling and wanting to write a note to Hermione to let her know the good news.
"Ronald, your family like many others has bonded with creatures and if I'm not mistaken a very powerful race at that." Albus said looking gravely at the boy. "And has such it happens that the race you connected with is the mortal enemy of the race the Potters bonded with."
"Well, what creature is it then?" Ron questioned slight fear hanging in his voice. Though the response didn't come from the head master but a gruff voice behind him.
"I believe I can clear that up Mr. Weasley." The voice whispered causing Ron to whirl around and eye the person now in even deeper confusion. What did he have to do with anything? "After all, we are one in the same when it comes to it."
"What do you mean?" Ron asked standing up now and walking over to the man. "Professor Lupin."
Hey there,
I posted early because I got a review that kinda burned my cookies. I think I hinted at what kind of person Harry was going to be quite well, so there shouldn't be any surprise when he went beserk on people. And besides I havn't made he do anything 'evil' yet to begin with. And secondly, don't get me started of racist bull. Because Ron is by far the most racist person in the series in cannon.
Other then that, thans for the reviews guys! Don't know... getting reviews makes me want to update sooner...
