Hybrid Legacy

Chapter 3

"Grampa Remi," cried the twins, running across the Great Hall to hug the startled werewolf. "Uncle Sev!" They ambushed the poor Potion's Master in the next moment.

"What are you two doing here?" asked Severus bemusedly, glaring at the snickering students.

"Dad just said we had to spend the next two weeks here during the day," said Liam brightly, grinning at Severus widely. He was so excited at the prospect of spending so much time at his parent's old school.

"Yeah! Mummy's here too, but we ran ahead of him," said Michaela happily, settling in Severus' arms as he placed her in his lap.

Severus snickered quietly at hearing Harry referred to as 'mummy.' He glanced over at Remus to see if he'd heard the comment and actually grinned when he saw the werewolf trying to cover a laugh by pulling Liam into his lap. Just then, Harry and Draco entered the Great Hall, and Severus and Remus lost the battle. They burst into loud laughter.

Seeing the twins situated on the laps of two laughing, Harry immediately realised where the amusement lay. The twins had obviously called him mummy while speaking to them, and they found the prospect humourous to the extreme.

Draco, however, didn't know why they were laughing so hard. Seeing the noticeable lack of surprise on Harry's face, Draco leaned close to whisper. "What exactly do they find so funny?"

"I imagine the twins have called me 'mummy' once again, and they think it's funny," said Harry resignedly. He just knew they were going to tease him forever about this. But that's okay because he would get his revenge some way.

Draco went to his customary chair at the High Table, pulling out the empty chair beside him for Harry to sit down, and sat down to eat breakfast. Unfortunately for Harry, this arrangement put him right beside Severus, and the Slytherin immediately took advantage of the fact.

"Hello, mummy," drawled Severus gleefully. "Why exactly are the three of you spending the next two weeks at Hogwarts?"

"I thought Draco had spoken with Lucius," muttered Harry, glaring at the taunting from Severus. "Lucius was supposed to ask you and Remus for your help in finding the person sending me threatening letters. Did he say nothing to you?"

"I haven't heard about any threatening letters. I'll ask Remus if he has," growled Severus, getting angry at the thought of someone threatening a member of his family. He placed Michaela in Harry's lap and stalked over to Remus' chair, bent down, and whispered in the werewolf's ear. Remus' eyes immediately widened before a guilty look crossed his face. In the next moment, Severus and Remus grabbed Harry's arm, pushing Michaela in Draco's lap this time, pulled him from his chair, and dragged him into the back room.

"Tell me about these letters," said Severus, glaring at Harry.

Harry sighed and started his explanation. "A few days ago, Hedwig brought me a letter. You remember when Ginny kidnapped me at Christmas? Well, the whole time I was with her, she kept calling Draco a pollutant that was despoiling her innocent Harry. This letter sounded exactly like her, and before you even speak, I know that Ginny is dead and that it can't possibly be her."

"Draco went to see Lucius the next day, and he said he would try to get you and Remus to see if you could figure out who had written the letter. I'm guessing he got distracted and never relayed the message?" asked Harry, arching an eyebrow.

Remus immediately blushed and smiled guiltily. "The scent did smell familiar, but I couldn't place it. I did forget to give the letter to Severus, though."

"You forgot to mention the letter completely, Remus," snapped Severus, glaring at the werewolf. He turned back to Harry. "Have you gotten any more letters?"

Harry, of course, just arched his brow again. "Of course I have, Severus. Why else do you think Draco insisted that the twins and I stay at Hogwarts with him during the day? I got one yesterday. And speaking of yesterday, I swear I could feel someone watching me. And as we were leaving the Magical Menagerie, I saw a flash of light and something red, but when I turned to see it better, it was gone. Do you think maybe Ron's behind this? He hates me enough to do something like this."

Remus was already shaking his head. "The scent didn't smell like him, and considering the amount of time that I have spent with you, Hermione, and Ron, I would know. Besides, Ron would be more threatening towards you personally. This person sounds like he wants to hurt Draco."

"I don't know about that, Remus. Ron always attacked Draco first, thinking that if Draco were out of the picture I would go back to being his best friend again. In our seventh year, he cast a spell on Draco to drain all of his happiness away, causing Draco to hate me, so that I would… 'come crawling back to him' were his exact words," said Harry. "I just don't know anymore."

"Could Ron have masked his scent in some way?" asked Severus. "Enough to fool a werewolf, that is."

"I guess it's possible," said Remus quietly. "We'll find out where he is and keep an eye on him in any case."

"That's better than nothing, I suppose," said Harry. "I need to talk to Dumbledore now, though. I absolutely refuse to spend the next two weeks here doing nothing. He'll just have to find something for me and the twins to do."

"Daddy, is Grandpa Remus and Uncle Sev mad at mummy?" asked Michaela quietly, staring at the door her mummy had disappeared through.

"No, sweetheart, they just want to talk to mummy in private. They'll be back out in just a little bit. Go ahead and eat your breakfast," said Draco soothingly, pushing Michaela's plate closer.

"Daddy, can me and Kayla stay in Dublydor's office today?" asked Liam excitedly. "He said he would show us his phoenix, Fox."

"The headmaster's name is Dumbledore and his phoenix is Fawkes, but yes, you may," said Draco, covering his grin at the new names.

"Yeah!" cried the twins enthusiastically.

"If you're finished with your breakfast, we can go now," said Dumbledore, smiling at their enthusiasm. As he passed Draco's chair, he paused for a moment. "Could you tell Harry that if he could assist Remus in his DADA classes for the next two weeks, I would really appreciate it. And don't worry about the twins because Minerva and I would love to take care of them during classes."

"Yes, sir, I will," said Draco quickly. 'At least his elf wouldn't be bored during his enforced stay at Hogwarts,' thought Draco.

"Where's Michaela and Liam?" asked Harry, causing Draco to turn in surprise.

"Dumbledore took them to his office to introduce them to Fawkes," Draco replied. "He also told me to ask you to assist Remus during his DADA classes for the next two weeks. He even offered to baby-sit so that you could assist Remus."

"That works. I was going to ask him for something to do anyway," said Harry. "Do you know what time his first class starts?"

"At 9:00, so scoot," said Draco, shooing Harry towards the door. "Our free periods are at the same time, though, so I'll see you then. Bye, elf." With a quick kiss, Draco hurried to the Charm's classroom.

"Class, as you all probably know, this is Harry Potter-Malfoy and he will be assisting me for the next two weeks," said Remus calmly, ignoring the excited chatter from the students. After the class had calmed down, Remus turned back towards Harry. "Considering the fact that we are studying elves, fae, and veela, Harry's presence here is very beneficial. He is a rare elf/fae hybrid." By this time, Harry was glaring furiously at Remus. Remus knew good and well that Harry hated having this much attention focused on him.

"Ohhh, what are your fae features?" asked a giddy Ravenclaw girl. "I see the elfin ears, but what defines you as fae?"

"I have jewel-toned eyes, wing tattoos on my back, the ability to create portals, and elemental magic over air and water. My elfin features consist of the ears, the silver streaks in my hair indicating a healing ability, and red streaks indicating control over predatory beasts," said Harry quietly.

"Can we see your wings?" asked a quiet Hufflepuff girl.

Harry started to refuse, but at the pleading look Remus shot at him, he acquiesced with a resigned sigh. Taking off his outer robe and shirt, Harry pointedly ignored the awed sighs coming from all the girls and half the boys. Suddenly his beautiful black, silver, and green wings sprouted from his back, eliciting wondrous gasps from the entire class.

"Wow, can we see the portal?" asked a Hufflepuff boy excitedly.

Harry didn't even bother trying to refuse. He just sighed once again and formed the portal, stepped into the portal, and appeared at the back of the room. While the students were still staring at the place Harry had previously stood, Harry stood in the back of the room glaring at Remus fiercely. He hated the attention and he fully intended to repay the favour in full.

Seeing his doom on the horizon, Remus sighed in relief when the bell rang. "Okay, class dismissed. I want a fifteen inch essay on elves and fae due next Monday."

As soon as the last student left the room, Remus turned fearfully back to Harry. He never should have turned his back on the angry elf. Remus turned around and immediately stumbled back a step as the spell hit. Knowing Harry wouldn't have hit him with something truly dangerous, Remus was nonetheless a bit worried.

"What was that, Harry?" he asked fearfully.

"You know, Remus, you would think that you would have learned from Lucius' example. But, oh no, you still made me the center of attention, knowing how much I hate that," said Harry musingly. "Oh well, I guess you'll get the point soon."

Harry walked from the room, deliberately refraining from mentioning the spell used. Remus would find out soon enough. In about two minutes, in fact. Just then a loud scream echoed in the Defense classroom. Harry heard it two corridors down and just snickered smugly.

"How did your first class go?" asked Draco. He and Harry were sitting in Draco's office during their free period.

Before Harry could respond, a knock sounded on the door. Draco immediately got up to answer it while Harry smirked. Harry knew exactly who was in the corridor.

"I hate to bother you, Draco, but have you seen Harry?" asked Remus, bundled in his cloak.

"Yes, he's in here," said Draco, staring at Remus curiously. "Aren't you a bit hot in that?"

"Yes, but it's not like I had a choice," muttered Remus. Girding himself for the laughter that would inevitably follow, Remus slowly removed his cloak. Harry didn't disappoint. He burst into laughter immediately. Draco, on the other hand, just stared at Remus in shock.

"Remus, what happened to you?" he asked incredulously. Remus was standing there in all his feminine glory. His shirt was tightly stretched over his breasts and his pants clung to his curvy hips. "I know you like men, but considering you've been sleeping with my father and Sev for about five years now, don't you think it's a little late to be switching genders?" This, of course, caused Harry to start laughing again.

"You don't honestly think this was my idea, do you?" hissed Remus furiously. He turned to Harry and pointed an accusing finger at the hysterically laughing elf. "This is all his fault."

"Why did you turn Remus into a woman, elf?" asked Draco quietly.

"He used me like a trick pony for his DADA class. I agreed to assist the class, not perform tricks," said Harry calmly.

"Remus, you know how much he hates the attention," said Draco, glaring at Remus, or trying to at least. "You remember what he did to my father when he placed Harry in the limelight."

"It wasn't intentional. Things just got a little out of hand," muttered Remus guiltily. "Haven't you had enough revenge yet? I've had to teach a sixth year class like this, which you missed I might add, and Severus saw my new look."

"Fine, but no more theatrics in your class," said Harry petulantly. He reluctantly cast the counter curse and watched as feminine Remus returned to his masculine state.

Remus, of course, immediately checked to make sure everything had returned to normal, forgetting that Harry and Draco were in the room. Fortunately, though, he only lifted the waistband of his pants and peered down the opening to confirm that he had his penis back. When he sighed in relief, Harry and Draco started laughing again. Remus just glared halfheartedly at Harry and hurried from the room.
