Harry and the Fairy Flirt
September 1992
Chapter 9: "An Evil Plot"
Ron rolled his eyes as his brother rushed through the portal. 'This is ridicules, how come I have to go last?' Ron's eyes lit up when he saw his Dad's keys laying on his Mum's purse on his sister's cart in front of him. 'Brilliant' unseen Ron reached up and snatched the keys, quickly tucking them in his pocket.
"Alright Ginny Dear your turn" His mom turned to him and smiled "You can get yourself on while I help your sister can't you?"
"Yeah Mum, I'm not a baby…" He kicked at the ground 'or I could drive myself'
"Alright dear," She nodded at Ginny and then followed her through.
After she helped Ginny through he was alone on the platform staring at the portal to 9 and "I refuse to ride that stupid train" with the keys burning a hole in his pocket. A smile crept across his face as he crabbed his cart and rushed for the door.
At Hogwarts
It was as if he had gone home to find the very place he felt safe to be a vicious beast hell-bent on devouring him…Harry felt lost the moment he set foot inside the familiar halls of Hogwarts. Setting his things down Harry leaned up against the wall and took a breath. 'Everything is so different…why does everything feel so strange?' Orria rubbed up against his leg and purred before she leapt into his arms and licked his face. "Thanks I needed that" Harry tucked Orria under his arm and started towards the dining hall for the sorting…uncomfortable Orria scurried up him to perch on his shoulder Harry glanced at her to see her lips quiver as if speaking then he noticed his things vanish. "You didn't need to do that, they have people who do that for us." Orria just purred and curled up in his arms.
Harry sat down next to Hermione and immediately noticed Ron was nowhere to be seen 'Odd, I wonder where he is?' No surprise everyone that had come with Harry had been sorted into the Gryffindor house…well all but one; Wrap was placed in the Slithering house. 'Curious' Harry thought… 'I thought Orria had fixed the sorting hat; enchanted it to put everyone in Gryffindor' He glanced down at Orria who was completely relaxed. Harry watched as Wrap took his place at the Slithering table, making sure he sat near Draco. Wrap immediately shook Draco's hand and said something that made him laugh and smile…. 'Great, just what I don't need…'
Meanwhile…..
Ron could see Hogwarts in the distance and coming up fast. The trip had been uneventful for him, but not so to those that were on the ground. As Ron pulled up to the school he cut the corner a little close and side-swiped the Whomping Willow. 'Stupid tree' as if it heard him the tree launched one of its huge branches right at him. The branch hit right on target sending Ron and the car cart wheeling through the air. I'm going to Hurl' Ron grabbed at the wheel trying to regain control of the car. 'Stupid car, you're going to the scrap heap.' The car objected to him with a beep of its horn and locked up the steering crashing through a set of windows coming, to a screeching halt at the feet of none other than Professor Snape and several students.
'Bloody Hell' Ron tumbled out onto the floor as the car ejected him the launched his luggage right at him, hitting him right in the head knocking him unconscious to the floor as his bags burst open spilling their stolen contents all over the floor.
"That's a…"
"Everyone clear out" Snape interrupted as a few students ran to get Dumbledore "and do not touch anything" He ordered glaring at a few of the students, one of them taking pictures.
The Car honked its horn again noisily, backed out of the gaping hole in the school and flew off into the sunset. Snape watched with frustration as he bent over to check for a pulse on the motionless boy "pity, it would have been better for you if you hadn't survived."
Gryffindor Common Room
"Harry, you're never going to believe this!" Hermione rushed in and right up to Harry who sat on the couch listening to Luna with Orria on his lap. "Ron just crashed his father's car into the school." Hermione looked smug "A flying car that he stole by the way.'"
"I wondered where the idiot was" Harry chuckled. 'I'm glad I'm not him.'
"He might get expelled" Hermione smiled at the thought.
Orria meowed then shook her head vigorously and Luna furrowed her brow… "I agree with her, that's never going to happen…"
"Why," Harry brushed her blonde hair out of her face "do you two know something we don't?" Luna's face changed and Harry could tell she was nervous then he glanced at Orria who was glaring at her. Covering Orria's eyes he looked at Luna "alright dear tell me the truth…its ok she won't hurt you."
Orria snarled and Harry jumped "Ow… Orria you drew blood!" Harry was shocked as she pranced happily up the stairs to his bed tail flipping angrily.
Hermione and Luna burst out laughing as Flutter walked in with Sauce. "Honestly Harry, you know you deserved that." Hermione smiled as she dodged the pillow from the couch.
Slytherin Common Room
"So, Wrap" Draco gazed nervously at him "Did I see you show up with that Potter Dork and his entourage?"
"You did" Wrap tossed the stick to the sucker he had been eating into the fire and sat down on the couch. "What of it?"
"You can't be serious…" He chuckled "You are one of the Potter fans?"
"No, I'm just smart enough to align myself with the winning team not the brainless losers." Wrap got up and started for his bed "and if you want to know more then maybe we can talk but not if you go running to that brainless father of yours"
Draco watched angrily as Wrap headed up the stairs "Wait, come back"
Wrap wiped the smile off his face and turned around "Yeah"
"What do you mean winning team; what does he have that my dad doesn't"
"Other than a brain" Wrap chuckled as he walked back to the sofa and sat down, "Well he has been studying with a master of an untraceable magic."
Draco was stunned "Do you know this magic too?"
"Yep, I would be more than willing to take on a student, but you can't learn it…"
"Why not" Draco was insulted "I'm just as smart as you."
Wrap chuckled "Smarts have very little to do with it." He wiped the smile off his face and furrowed his brow his tone changing almost as if it was suddenly a low growl "You would have to swear your allegiance to my master and with your loyalty to your father and you-know-who…"
"Now wait a minute…"
"Don't Bullshit me Draco, I know everything…" Wrap yelled at him and Draco's hands shot up to show surrender as Wrap launched himself towards Draco stopping a few inches from him.
"I have not sworn loyalty to anyone!" Draco was pissed but desperate to calm him down 'he is frightening….what is he; he can't be human?' Draco backed up slowly "Why do you think my father treats me like crap?" He shrugged "I haven't made up my mind yet."
"Decide quickly Draco" He spun around "My offer expires at Dawn"
Dumbledore's Office
Either Ron's head was spinning or the room was or both and Dumbledore's attitude was not helping "What were you thinking!" He glared at him "I have gone through a lot to try to get you into the perfect position and you nearly screw it up!" He leaned over and lowered his voice to a whisper that was oddly enough more frightening "Why, because you think you are indispensable; Do you think you are the first to hold your position?"
Ron felt a shiver run up his spine and did his best to ignore Dumbledore's question. "So I screwed up, so fix it."
"Oh I have and your punishment will be unbearable I will see to it."
"Oh come on" Ron stood up "I am doing your dirty work the least you can do is…"
"Sit Down!" Dumbledore bellowed and Ron stumbled backward falling into the chair. "For starters you will be assisting that nincompoop Gilderoy, helping in the rebuild of the school by providing the labor and cleaning all the boys restrooms in the school." He stepped forward and glared manically at him "And you will be assisting me every day after your classes are through."
"Yes sir" was all Ron could muster.
The Next Morning
Breakfast Time
Harry sat at the table eating doing his best to be invisible when Neville strolled over with Flutter; the two had met yesterday and hit it off immediately. Now it seemed that he was a part of Harry's growing entourage. Just as Harry thought the only thing he would have to listen to was frog comparisons Orria pranced in and jumped up onto Harry's lap with a sharp meow. 'What have you got in your mouth?' Harry took the paper and read it:
Your bed after breakfast, we need to talk Man to Cat.
After he finished he quietly made his way to his bed, he had made some excuse about needing to retrieve something and Professor McGonagall told him to be quick about it.
As he sat down on his bed Orria walked in and mid step turned into her human form. "We have a new ally Harry"
"I figured as much I mean Neville is cool and he and Flutter…"
"I'm not talking about him" Orria sat down and kissed him deeply "He and Flutter Bonded so he has no choice." She giggled "you know what I mean; we fairies tend to get our way"
"I doubt Flutter had to twist his arm."
Orria laughed "True, but seriously…" She cleared her throat "Just as I was hoping Wrap was able to get Draco to join the cause."
"WHAT!" Harry was not sure if he wanted to be shocked or angry "Orria..."
Orria slapped her hand over his mouth "Shush, and listen" She lowered her hand and continued "Wrap promised to teach him some fairy magic if he swore allegiance to Wrap's master."
Harry was confused "how does that help he hates me not you"
"True, but I am not his master" she smiled "Because of our bonding you are."
"Does Draco know this?"
"He will soon," She smiled proud of herself "Wrap has made him do an unbreakable vow to you. He will be here any minute now; Sauce is sneaking him in so we can talk."
Harry smiled "just enough time to…" He grabbed Orria and pulled her into a deep kiss. Just as Harry was in need of air Wrap, Sauce and Draco walked into the room.
"I would like to introduce you to my master…"Wrap waved his arm at them as they separated, Orria turning to face them but staying on Harry's lap.
"Who's she"
"No not her, the other one" Wrap smiled
"What…" He glared at Wrap "You said…"
"Orria is the Ruler of the Fairy realms, Harry is her Bond or mate" he chuckled at Draco's face "whatever you want to call it," he reached over and flicked Draco's forehead to get his attention "Because of the bonding He is our ruler too and well as sexist as it is, Men trump Women in the realms."
"Greetings, Draco" Harry smiled I believe you know my cat; Orria" he gestured at her and she nodded smiling "Are you going to be ok with this? Can we really count on you as a…" Harry swallowed hard and Orria elbowed him "a friend."
"At least until my father gets hold of me, then you will have to visit me at the cemetery."
"No, you will be living at the castle with us" Harry smiled as Orria made a soda appear and handed it to him "it's safer there." He smiled at her 'thought spell again sweetheart?' then he winked. "You'll love it there Draco" he took a big gulp then handed it back to her and it vanished "it is beyond description. In the mean time, what can you tell us about this plot a little house elf warned us of?"
"Dobby..." Draco slapped his forehead "Dad will kill him; I've got to get him out of there…"
"Plot first, Pain in ass later" Orria said
Draco put his hands on his hips and laughed "yes he is, but he is loyal." He folded his arms and got serious. "There is a book that my dad slipped to Jenny Wesley" First things first we need to get it before she has the chance to do something stupid."
Orria smiled "Wrap, Sauce can you handle that please."
"Sure thing," Sauce nodded and Wrap grabbed him by the scruff of his shirt "hey go easy…" they vanished and Draco's mouth dropped.
"Don't worry Draco; Fairies keep their promises, you'll learn that and more." Harry chuckled. Well in the mean time shall we get to class?"
Draco nodded and glanced at the cage by Ron's bed, "Hey Pettigrew, how's it hanging?"
"Pettigrew…" Orria thought
That Night
Dinner Time
Harry sat at the table in between Hermione and Luna with Neville across from him in between Flutter and Sauce. They chatted and laughed at the commotion of the day but Harry couldn't help but notice that Ron was oddly absent. 'Why does losing a friend hurt so much' Harry poked at his food with his fork without looking and heard a yelp and looked down to see Orria glaring at him. Orria had been oddly absent all day so he just hadn't thought about her being on his lap. "Serves you right get your own" Her glare grew more intense and he caved. "Alright here you go…" he put some food on another plate then set it on Luna's lap "help yourself."
Sauce smiled at Harry and tipped his head to Wrap. Harry followed the hint and looked at Wrap who subtly held up a beat up old book. Harry nodded in understanding and whispered to Orria they've got it."
Orria looked up from her food and licked her lips giving him a questioning look.
"The book; Wrap got it."
"Hey I helped" Sauce complained.
"Well thank you to you both…" Harry smiled "now if only somebody would tell me what it is."
Gryffindor Common Room
The next morning
Harry awakened to Orria's incessant bathing "Honestly Orria, I'm dead tired please…"
Orria stopped bathing and meowed at him, a clear look of pride on her face.
"Good Lord, Orria what have you been eating?" Harry slapped his hand over his nose and mouth and launched himself out of bed. "That's one way to wake me up."
Stumbling down the stairs he noticed Ron ransacking the Common Room doing his best to ignore him he walked up to the girls waiting at the door. "Come on, let's go" He kissed Hermione and Luna on the forehead and glanced at Ron.
"He lost his Rat" Hermione said "Stupid thing probably died somewhere"
Harry closed his eyes silently praying he was wrong "Orria you didn't!?" Orria just chirped happily at him and began cleaning again. "Do not expect me to kiss you anytime soon…" he looked at Hermione and Luna who were trying very hard to keep Ron from seeing them laughing.
That Night
Dinner Time
Dinner was dull; Ron was once again absent and Hermione and Luna were pouring over some books while they ate, discussing every word. Flutter and Neville where talking about their frogs and tadpoles…. (Don't ask) and Sauce was having a silent argument with Wrap about something. 'I have to admit that does look funny, if I didn't know about that mind reading spell I would think the two of them have lost their minds.' Harry dropped his head to his lap at Orria who was asleep 'I didn't think you would be hungry, I can't believe you ate his Rat!'
After dinner Orria curled up with Harry smelling of mint "much better" Harry smiled kissing her on the forehead. "I don't suppose you can find a way to add a room to this place for Harry's growing entourage?" Orria's head came up and she purred "I take it I just gave you an idea?" he kissed her forehead again "I miss your lips" he whispered, and then fell asleep.
Orria waited until he was asleep and then leapt down from the bed, moving silently she made her way through the room and down to the Common room. Changing to human form she made her way to the fireplace where Wrap and Sauce where having another argument, "enough" Orria whispered as she walked up to them. "Fill me in, what's going on?"
"Well, apparently the book belonged to Old Moldy-Voldy and Sauce here says Dumbledore is training that Ron kid just like he trained Moldy-Voldy" Wrap glared at him "But I don't believe him; Ron is too stupid to be a Dark Lord."
"I never said it was a smart idea…"
"ENOUGH" Orria growled, she pointed at Sauce "you check into it more; I want to know what he is teaching Ron and why. There has to be a reason why he chose that idiot." She turned to Wrap "And as for you…I have a task for you and your student to accomplish by nightfall tomorrow…"
