Hell bitch, darkness and light: Thanks, I'm updating as fast as I can
write.
Siria Black Midnight: I kind of thought the idea of Harry being richer
than the Malfoys would be cool and make sense considering the MoM would
not want things to get out. Draco will come in soon, as he won't leave me
alone 'till he does, and his dragon will be a loud leaf blower goes by
oracle: Thanks again.
Heartsick Kindred: Chapter 3
Harry went to his room to write the letter to Dumbledore. He was pretty sure the Headmaster would have no problem with it. After writing the letter, he headed up to the owlery to send the letter. He picked their fastest bird as school started tomorrow. Then, he went back to Remus and Kevin.
The two were involved in a conversation about KDs and Remus was delving into Kevin's knowledge of them, while Kevin would consult Nicholas every now and then.
They were having an intense conversation, so, Harry walked in and cleared his throat loudly. Remus glared and muttered something, and in front of Kevin's eyes Harry turned into an Oompa Loompa (sp?) from the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Kevin started cracking up and Harry glared as he thought of a comeback for this. Suddenly, as if someone had said an idea in his head he winked at Kevin and Remus was suddenly covered in polka-dotted fur.
Kevin started laughing even harder before restoring both of them. He looked at Remus, "Where did you learn that?"
Remus grinned, "Ever heard of the Marauders?"
Kevin's jaw dropped. "No way." Kevin being a prankster himself knew of these legendary people.
Remus nodded.
Harry laughed. "He taught me everything I know. Some of the books in the library are some of the best books on pranks."
"Awesome." (A/N: I'm dedicating this line to oracle. Lol.)
Remus looked at Kevin and seeing his wide eyes said, "Harry why don't you take him to see them. I'll have a house elf come get you when dinner's ready."
Harry nodded and took Kevin off to see the prank books.
The house elf found them studying up on pranks to pull at Hogwarts. "Mister Potter sir, you have a letter." He produced a letter, then promptly disappeared, when Harry took it, but before he could thank him.
Harry rolled his eyes, "How many times do I have to tell him to call me Harry?" He skimmed over the letter. "It's from Dumbledore, he says you can come, but you'll have to be sorted like everyone else."
Kevin nodded, "I'm sure I'll be sorted into Gryffindor."
"No doubt. He also says that if we send him some pieces of your clothing he'll have your uniform and supplies ready by the time you get there." They sent the clothing and then went back to studying.
A couple of hours later the house elf once again appeared to inform them of dinner.
"Thank you." They followed to the dining room.
{Hey, Lex why don't you come inside now? The sun's going to go down pretty soon anyways.}
{Okay.} A few minutes later, Alex walked in as a cat and curled up beneath Harry's feet.
Harry patted him and went back to eating and arguing with Remus over whether animals should be used in pranks.
The moon had almost come up and Remus had left. Harry was trying to convince Kevin to go to sleep, so he could meet Remus, not that he was going to tell Kevin that. Finally, he managed it and headed into the room, changing into a wolf as he went.
Unknown to Harry, however, Kevin was following him. He quietly followed him and watched as he changed, wondering why. When Harry went into a room, he waited about an hour, and then when Harry still hadn't come out, he followed. He didn't have an animal form though.
As he walked in, he heard a growling. In the corner was a huge wolf. He turned around and ran. The wolf was gaining on him, he fell and he could see it prepare to pounce (A/N: I should end it right here, but I'm not that evil), when suddenly, another wolf from out of nowhere, jump in front of him, taking the blow and getting thrown into the wall, but he stood back up and ran back and didn't let the other wolf pass. The smaller wolf stood his ground and growled back, never moving from in front of Kevin, protecting him from the other wolf. He noticed the black wolf protecting him's eyes. They were emerald, and if you looked closer you could see a lightening shaped scar where his forehead would be.
"Harry."
The wolf nodded, then looked back at the bigger wolf, which had settled down, but was still grumbling about it.
They stayed like that for the rest of the night and when he woke up, the two wolves were gone and two people were left. Harry and Remus. Remus and Harry both had numerous scratches from when Remus had chanced it and tried to get to Remus and Harry had them from protecting him. Harry also had a huge bruise from when he had hit the wall.
Kevin gently nudged him, "Harry, wake up."
Harry groaned and rolled over, away from Kevin.
"Harry!"
Harry jumped up and looked around, "What?"
"It's time to wake up."
"Oh, yeah. School starts today doesn't it? Good thing Dumbledore said he would get your clothes and supplies for you. It'd be a little too late now."
Kevin nodded, "So, about last night . . ."
Harry groaned again, "You should've gone to your room, but I guess it's too late for that now. That wolf you saw last night was Remus. He's a werewolf. Now, normally he's not like that, as he takes the Wolfsbane Potion, but Professor Snape was injured pretty bad at a deatheater meeting and couldn't make it for him until a couple days ago and it didn't have time to take effect."
"One of the professors is a deatheater?"
"He's a spy for our side."
"Oh."
Harry nodded and slowly stood up, strectching and wincing at sore spots. He padded over to Remus. "Remus, get up."
Remus batted away his hand and Harry glared, and then sighed. "Fine." He bent over and picked him up, then carried him out.
After setting Remus in his bed, they got ready. They were going to have to use their earrings to get to the train station. They gathered all their stuff, their dragons, and their other animals. Kevin's dragon, since it couldn't transform, was put into a pet box. (A/N: Don't know what else to call them. They're those boxes especially made for pets.) They got dressed, Harry put on a black tank top and tight black pants, and Kevin put on a dark blue tank top and tight blue jeans.
Once they were ready, they said where and then they were there. They quickly looked around to see if anyone had noticed. No one had. They picked up their two trunks, put them on their shoulders, and headed towards the barrier.
Harry looked for Hermione and Ron, they probably wouldn't recognize him, he had changed a lot over the summer. Then he saw them; he nudged Kevin and nodded towards them. "That's Hermione and Ron. Let's go introduce you."
"Ron! Mione!"
They heard him and whipped around and started running towards him. After they hugged and said hi, Hermione and Ron looked at Kevin. "Who's this?"
"This is Kevin Michael. We met over the summer and he decided to come to Hogwarts." He saw their faces. "No! We did not meet like that!"
Kevin looked at him, "They know?"
Harry shrugged, "I wrote them and told them."
Kevin nodded.
"Kevin, this is Hermione and Ron."
After the introductions, they went through the barrier, got on the train, and found an empty compartment.
Hermione noticed the tattoo on his arm. "When did you get that?" Then, she noticed the other one. "And that one."
"Over the summer I found out I was a Kindred Rider. Kindred are a special kind of dragon that bond with humans. The dragon is to symbolize that and the sword and shield is to symbolize that I was one of the two head of classes. Kevin was the other. We . . ."
He trailed off as the door opened and he looked to see who it was.
It was Draco Malfoy.
