Heartsick Kindred: Chapter 4

It was Draco. "Potter. Granger. Weasley."

Kevin looked from the staring Harry to Draco, and then to Hermione and Ron. He whispered, "Who's that?"

"Draco Malfoy."

"Malfoy." Hermione and Ron were scowling.

Kevin was confused, Harry was supposed to hate Draco, and yet he was staring at him like a star-struck teenager at him. Then it hit him. 'This is going to be interesting.' He had no intention of telling Harry what he now knew; it was more fun letting him find out himself.

Harry was staring at Draco, his brow furrowed in concentration, before realization dawned. 'Of course, it had to be the crush who made me realize I was gay, who also happens to be straight as far as I know and hates me But you know what they say, "There's a fine line between love and hate." At least for me that is.'

Draco frowned at Harry as he watched the looks change on his face from one of concentration, to one of wonder, to one of annoyance, to finally one of acceptance.

Kevin elbowed him, looking apologetically at him when he winced, then looking at him questioningly, and grinning when Harry nodded almost imperceptibly.

"Problem Potter?" Draco, being uncomfortable with Harry not sneering at him any more, was now sneering himself.

Harry was clutching his side and the pain was making him terse, more than he should have been. "You here annoying us is the only problem I can see at the moment Malfoy. Did you want something other than to be an obnoxious prat?"

Draco looked momentarily surprised, but then he sneered again and walked out.

Harry turned to glare at Kevin, who immediately shrunk to four inches tall. "May I remind you of the rather large black bruise I have there Mr. Mitchell?"

Hermione made a sort of squeak/squeal noise when this happened.

"Also, next time you go to poke or elbow me, make it somewhere else."

{May I suggest you make him slightly larger and dress him in green with a stick and a pot of lucky charms?}

"Enough from the peanut gallery Alex." Harry was talking aloud, not realizing he was.

{I'm not the peanut gallery, I'm King Peanut.}

Harry laughed and shook his head.

Hermione listened quietly. "Three things. What bruise? How did you do that to him? And who's Alex? There's only us here."

Harry looked at her and sighed as he pulled up his shirt revealing a large black bruise. "This bruise. I learned wandless magic this summer. And I was talking to my dragon." He briefly explained the summer's events to them, promising they would be able to see Alex as he was planning on teaching the whole school of them.

Hermione simply walked up to Harry, tapped her side and the bruise faded to a yellowish color and shrank, but did not disappear. "That's better."

Harry smiled gratefully, then Kevin cleared his throat. Harry turned, startled to him. "Oh, I forgot about you, hard as it may seem." With a wave of his hand Kevin was back.

Harry pulled out a trunk. "We never did get to exercise this morning, shall we now?"

Kevin nodded and waited 'till Harry opened the trunk, this is the one Kevin was carrying earlier one when Dumbledore said he would get Kevin's stuff.

Harry looked at Hermione and Ron, "If you want, you two can come with us, you can also join us in the morning, we'll teach you what we know."

Hermione nodded and then looked at the trunk, "What is that and where did you get it?"

Harry grinned. "It's the marvels of being a KD rider, they're slightly ahead of the wizarding and muggle world in what they can do. This is like the Room of Requirement, only more portable. There's also a spell on it, so that time in there is faster than the time out here."

Hermione looked like she was going to use this to her total advantage. "Okay, let's get to work then."

Harry, then Hermione, then Kevin, and then Ron went inside. The inside of the trunk at the moment looked like a training room, a library, a weight room, a garden, and a potions lab combined.

Kevin immediately went over to a mat and started stretching, while Harry went through them for Hermione and Ron helping them with some harder ones. Once that was done, they got to work on weaning Hermione off her wand and Kevin was helping Ron with some weight lifting, showing him how to gain subtle, but strong muscles. Kevin, Harry, and Ron soon had their shirts off and Hermione had a tank top on with some shorts, which had appeared when she needed them.

They continued like this for while until Harry and Kevin decided they had done well enough for now and they all changed into their uniforms, Kevin's stuff had showed up in the train compartment while they were gone. Outside the trunk, they had been gone for about ten minutes, in the trunk they had been at it for a little over an hour.

They bought some food and drinks from the witch and waited for their arrival at Hogwarts.

Harry was trying to figure out what to say to Dumbledore when they got there to explain about his new condition and how Draco was involved.
Once they arrived, they got out and headed to the carriages. Kevin, while grinning, they forced to go with Hagrid. Then they got into the carriage and laughed the whole way to the castle.

At the castle, Harry headed to Dumbledore's office and explained the situation to him. Dumbledore agreed that this was a special circumstances and both Harry and Kevin got their own areas with two rooms each. One for them and one for their mates, Kevin had still to find his and Harry's was of course Draco.

Once this was done, he made it out in time to see the first years sorted. He clapped for the new Gryffindors, smiling encouragingly at them. Then, he more quietly clapped for the Slytherins, the Ravenclaws, and the Hufflepuffs.

Dumbledore stepped up and looked around. "This year we have a visiting student. His name is Kevin Mitchell and he is here thanks to Mr. Potter. He will now be sorted as well." He gestured for Kevin to sit down.

The hat was put on and seemed to think for a minute, and then he shouted out, "GRYFFINDOR!" The whole Gryffindor table cheered.

Dumbledore stood up again. "Also, after they have eaten, will Misters Harry Potter, Kevin Mitchell, and Draco Malfoy come to my office? Thank you."
