Chapter two

Harry had expected a lot of things, but for some of Squalls' roommates to be around his age was not one of them. First he met the Scary as hell boyfriend Sephiroth, and the not so intimidating boyfriend Cloud. It went something like this...

"Its not working." A blue eyed man with gravity defying bangs complained dropping onto the couch next to a silver haired man that looked about ready to maim him.

"I realize that. Perhaps it would work if you PLUGGED IT IN!" Said Silver haired guy ground out.

Harry looked up at his brother who looked nothing short of amused.

'Maybe it wasn't the fact that Squall had two boyfriends but the fact that their scary as hell that mum and dad objected to.' Harry thought shifting lightly to his left foot.

Squall however didn't seem to notice his brothers hesitation as he walked in and kissed first Cloud and then Sephiroth.

"Your back early, your brothers flight get delayed or something?" Sephiroth asked after he finished kissing Squall.

"He's right behind you Seph. Oh, Harry this is Cloud, and this is Sephiroth. Guys This is my brother Harry." Squall said waving his hand toward each of them in turn.

Harry nodded his head toward them in greeting and shifted distinctly uncomfortable with all three gazes on him.

"Not a people person are you? Well not a lot of us are so you'll fit in alright." Cloud said in a rather bubbly manner.

"Don't mind him. He just got off a mission gone bad. Ended up drugged from here to mars." Sephiroth comment well beyond annoyed.

"Your joking right?" Squall asked with a groan.

"Nope Four darts full of what amounts to three gallons worth of caffeine each. We're in for a long night." Sephiroths stated while he watched his younger love start running around the room nearly knocking Harry over in the process.

"It's safer over here Harry." Squall said as he sat down to join his lover in watching their hyped up lover run like a maniac around in circles.

Harry wisely moved into the room and sat down in the chair across from his brother.

'This is way too weird.' Harry thought to himself 'but who am I to talk I'm almost thirteen and so far I've ended up fighting Voldemort a total of three times and survived a basilisk bite. The only good thing about that is if another venomous snake bits me, the venom will have no effect on me.'

CRASH

Harry looked up to see that Cloud in his hyped up state had just tried and almost succeeded in running acrossed the ceiling before gravity took affect and sent him to the ground.

"Thats got to hurt." He stated as his brother and Sephiroth checked Cloud for damage.

Sephiroth gave him a 'no duh' look and took the unconscious Cloud up to their room.

"He's like that." Squall said placing his hand on Harrys' shoulder. Harry nodded, looking up at his brother; who was a good foot taller then him, putting Squall at six foot eight.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

'So maybe it wasn't the best first meeting but it could have been worse.' Harry thought. His meeting with Seifer and Irvine had not faired much better.

Squall led Harry down the hall to where the kitchen was looking for their other house mates. Not really having anything else to do Harry replayed the days events in his head and noticed that his brother and boyfriends seemed to have a thing for leather. His brother Squall was clad in steel, toed leather boots with black leather pants, and a black leather coat, with white fur on it. Not to mention all the belts Squall had around his waste. 'There must be at least seven.'

Sephiroth also wore black leather only his coat was more of a trench coat, and his hair like Squalls was long only silver. As for Cloud well red and black combat leather cloths. 'If I start with the leather fashion I'm going to stop Voldemort then kill myself.' Harry thought.

"Fire!" Harry's head snapped up just in time to be yanked backwards by his brother who had stopped. Squall was giving the guy who yelled a glare the would have done more damage then the flame that had nearly fried them.

"Seifer what have I told you about fire in the halls?" Squall hissed out.

"Oh. Pull that stick of yours out already for hymn sake Princess." the blond haired man said waving his hand vaguely.

Harry stared. The guy in front of him was about a head taller then Squall with eyes that almost matched his. Big build and heavy set with a trench coat covering his obvious muscles. Behind him stood a man that obviously liked the cowboy look. Black cowboy hat, leather chaps side arms etc.

"Hay Squally this your brother?" The blond guy said. Harry vaguely remembered Squall calling him Seifer just after the near toasting. Harry pulled himself from his thought and brought his own emerald eyes up to meet pure jade colored eyes.

Harry who normally tried to avoid eye contact was rather annoyed that these eyes reflected something he didn't want to see. The reflection in the eyes before him was that of the defiant boy who had nearly killed himself stopping a horexs. Tom riddle A.k.a. Voldemort horaxs to be precise. The ripping of the soul and storing them into objects was as bad as things could get for a wizard but it did have another affect. It made the wizard immortal in a sense and Harry by his own dumb luck was the one who had to find and destroy them or the main. It didn't matter at all.

"So we have another stick up his rear guy in the house. Good lord it's a family trait with you guys." Seifer complained loudly. Harry just raised an eyebrow and looked at Squall for an answer. All he got in return was the sight of his brother pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Sometimes it's safer not to ask..Harry right?" The guy behind Seifer asked. Harry nodded.

"Well the names Irvine, though some call me cowboy. Its nice to meet you." Irvine said shaking hands with him.

"You to." Harry said if a bit quietly. They heard him none the less and even he was surprised by how unsure his voice sounded. Seifers glare was defiantly one that could rival Snapes' on a bad day.

Squall however came to the rescue before Seifer could get a word in. "He met Cloud and Sephiroth about ten minutes ago."

"Ouch. Sorry to hear that. Cloud got shot full of that drug it's no wonder." Irvine said with a barley hidden tone of pity that Harry a master occumlest still caught. "Word to the wise kid. Unless your around the strange and abnormal almost constantly, don't let your guard down."

"Sounds like last two years of school." Harry said shaking his head in a rather disbelieving manner.

"Your last couple of years at school remind you of this?" Seifer Questioned dropping his argument with Squall.

"No it probably out did this. Depends on the genocidal maniac to snake ratio really." Harry said waving his hand. "Don't ask. You really don't want to know."

"Sounds like it, were going to bed so have a good night you guys." Seifer said lading his boyfriend away before another word could be said.

"Snake to what ratio?" Squall asked.

"I'll tell you later okay?" Harry said with a pleading look at his brother.

"Yeah fine."

'Well it could have been worse. I think meeting Riku and Sora went the best. They neither tried to burn us or were high on some drug or another. They were watching a movie. I'm not sure which but it seemed like a kung fu type thing.'

"Evening Riku, Sora, is everything alright in here?" Squall said hesitating at the door.

"Yeah, were just watching movies. You and your brother wanna join us." A guy closer to my age then Squalls asked. He had silver hair, and like my brother dressed in leather only with out the coat and with a muscle shirt.

I assumed this was Riku as Squall had told me early on that Sora was a brunette with blue eyes.

Both were obviously only a year or two older them me but I wasn't to put out.

"Sure guys this is my brother Harry, Harry the Brunette is Sora and the Guy with his arm around him is Riku."

"HI." Harry said in his own so quit way.

"Hi. Back come join us." Sora said turning his head to look at them.

Harry didn't get a chance to reply because Squall had Taken Harry's hand and pulled him over to the second couch in the room where they sat and watched the rest of the movie.

Harry had just about fallen asleep when the movie ended so was a little surprised to find Squall shaking him awake two hours later.

"Come on. I'll introduce you to Vincent later in the morning." He said pulling Harry up and leading him upstairs.

They had just made it to the second floor when something caught Harrys attention.

Sleep little one so you may not wake. the tone was hissing and it woke Harry up.

Squall who had been holding on to Harrys' hand was pulled out of his silent musings when Harry jolts to a stop and looked around confused.

"Something wrong Harry?" Squall asked with a frown.

Looking up Harry frowned before saying. "I think there is a snake in here."

Squall raised an eyebrow. "A snake?"

Harry was about to respond when the Silence was broken by an even louder hiss. though hath destroyed my mother now I shall destroy you

"What the?" Squall said in surprise just as Cloud, Sora, Seifer, Riku, Sephiroth, and Irvine walked in.

"Have either of you heard a Hissing noise?"Cloud asked.

"Oh for Merlins Sake! How did a Basilisk end up here?" Harry said in complete exasperation as he throw his hands up and sighed.

"A what?" Seifer asked.

"Basilisk, born from a snakes egg hatched underneath a toad. The roasters crow is fatale to it and looking it striate in the eye will kill you. Its venom will kill with in three minutes for the less potent ones and for the more potent one it can take weeks. There is no cure but phoenixes tears and only one person ever survived a bit. They can live for centuries and are often times found in old runes." Harry answered. "And whats worse is that I killed its mother say three four months ago now."

"You know this how?" Squall said beginning to wonder if this was part of the snake ratio thing.

"Hum.. Oh, I'm a parceltongue." he said looking for where the hiss came from.

you and your family will fall this night. the snake hissed

you're a bit cocky for a snake, don't forget the prophecy. You can't kill me little snake

Harry goaded. That was all that was needed because the snake just shot out from under a chair at Harry who simply dodged and caught it behind its neck. Covering its eyes with his other hand.

"And that was Riddles' downfall to.' he muttered to himself "Somebody wanna kill it and be done with this."

Nobody moved to shocked to do anything. They just stared at Harry like he'd sprouted two heads or something.

Harry was about to head to the kitchen to get a knife to kill it with when the last guy who lived in the house stepped from the shadows.

"I got it." He said pulling a knife from his belt and with one quick movement sliced strait down throw the snakes neck.

"Names Vincent. You must be Harry." He said.

Harry nodded his head. "Thanks."

"No problem. Its worth it to see these guys shocked into silence." Vincent replied.

Vincent was a tall guy around Seifers hight. Long hip length Raven black hair and Almost black eyes. Once again he like most the others wore leather only in red and black and it suited him no problem.

Vincent then took the decapitated snake from Harry, rapped it in a bag and walked away with a simple "Good catch,"

Squall by now had shook himself out of it. "Come on you can get a shower and get some sleep before every one decides to bombard you with questions about this." and pulled Harry away from every one up another flight of stairs and to the third door of that hall.

"Night Harry." Squall said and closed the door before Harry could answer
