CAMP HALF-BLOOD

A 1-YEAR-OLD HARRY STARED AT HIS DAD.

-It's a joke? Harry asked skeptically. "Because dad, if this is one of your jokes or revenge for what Charlie and I did yesterday I want you to know that it was his idea."

James Potter pursed his lips remembering what his sons did yesterday at the ministry party in the company of Lynx Black-Snape, every time he saw Kingsley he has to keep apologizing because somehow his sons and nephew managed to sneak a box of niffler into the house. party.

His face ended up twisting into a smile, remembering the main objective of those little animals, he had never seen Dolores Umbridge run so fast to escape from the scavengers.

Regulus next to James glared at her husband seeing how he was distracted from the main topic, even though he couldn't complain if there was someone who hated Dolores Umbridge more than Regulus and James was Harry, I hate her from the moment that that Pink toad made fun of her parents for having a relationship and having children.

And no one wanted to get in the way of Harry Potter-Black if you messed with his family. You'd better hide but it didn't matter because he would find you anyway.

"We'll talk about that later, Harrison," Regulus said looking at his adopted son, but he was smiling indicating that there would be no punishment. And before you ask again, this is not a joke.

"I wanted to tell you when you were ready," James said, "but Chiron called me and told me it was time for you to start your training." James ruffled his hair. But if you do not want...

"Who is Chiron?" Harry interrupted.

"A centaur who trains heroes," Regulus replied as one who speaks of the weather.

"Ah." The boy replied and pointed at himself with his finger. "Me?" Son of a god?

"I know it seems impossible, Harry," James tried to reassure, "I didn't believe it at first, but you're already growing up and it's time for me to make a decision."

James always wanted to spare Harry, his eldest son, this talk. He was going to miss his baby if he decided to go to camp, sure Charlie and Cassie were with him but it wouldn't be the same if his little demon.

James looked at Regulus and couldn't help but feel lucky, looking at that man who helped and supported him when Hades confessed his ancestry and Harry's likely fate. Regulus stroked Harry's hair trying to convey tranquility to the boy, Regulus was there for him and Harry when Hades left and took care of both of them as his true family despite having Sirius, Severus, Lucius, Narcissa and the others.

He learned to love that man who gave him two more children and adopted Harry as his son legally even though James told him that if he wanted to not do it, but he denied saying that Harry was his son. Hell, James loved that man with all his heart.

Regulus could say the same about James, the Potter had gotten into his heart little by little without noticing it, he and the boy he now called son gave him that family that he always craved since he was a child, and when a Black wants something he gets it . You can answer the question the wedding ring that both men wore.

"Harry, darling," Regulus called softly to Harry, he had a soft spot for Harry as James had for Cassie. "You don't have to go, if you don't want to go that's fine." You would go to Hogwarts and your father and I could teach you a few things about your powers.

Harry looked at his dad, Reg his, and put his answer in for a while he didn't want the monsters like he had heard his dad James call them back, Harry almost flinched.

Almost.

He remembers that earlier in the year he and the whole family had gone to a Muggle amusement park at Cassie's insistence.

When they returned his parents had started to look around suspiciously and clutched their wands hidden in their sleeves, James had looked down an alley and had turned pale immediately he looked at Regulus and spelled with his lips: Monster.

Regulus had gone into action immediately activated an emergency portkey that all the Potter-Black children had hidden in their clothes, he had made Harry and Charlie promise to return home to activate the protections and take care of Cassie.

The last thing Harry could see before the portkey activated was Regulus and James pointing their wands at the alley and swearing to see his dad Reg with a knife in his hand.

When the children had appeared in the deserted hall of Potter Manor, Cassie who was (and still is) 7 years old had burst into tears, Harry and Charlie had taken a long time to calm her little sister and put her to sleep. Harry and Charlie waited in front of the fireplace for some sign of her parents, after 11 at night Charlie had fallen asleep on the lap of her older brother.

It was fortunate that Charlie was light because Harry had to carry him up to his room on the second floor of the Mansion, when Harry was about to go down the stairs he heard the sound of the dust Floo that indicated what e their parents returned (because with the protections in place, only family members could enter). He froze at the top of the stairs when he saw James carrying a wounded Regulus with a wound to his arm.

There was blood.

Harry didn't want his dad Reg his to get hurt.

James had laid Regulus on the giant sofa in the living room and with trembling hands he healed her husband's arm with all the healing spells he knew, when the wound had stopped bleeding James sighed of relief and hugged Regulus being careful not to touch the affected area.

"My love," Regulus called James softly. "I'm fine, okay?" Nothing happened.

James let out a shaky breath and rubbed her husband's shoulders.

"They came for him, Reg," James exclaimed with a lump in his throat, "for our Harry, and this time you hardly come out of the attack," James stammered, staring into space. And if something had happened to you or the children ... I don't know what he would do.

"James" Regulus took his husband's face in his hands and caressed his cheeks. "We're fine and the children must be asleep now, please don't blame yourself for this," he added, knowing that James was capable of blaming himself for this. ... "I speak in a sad tone. That it's time we discussed it with Harry.

Harry could continue to listen to the conversation if he wanted to, but he felt so bad seeing his parents hurt and worried about him that he ran silently into his room and threw himself on his bed staring out into the dark night.

Was it his fault?

His father James mentioned his name and that the "Monster" was coming for him, Harry did not want to harm his family, that they hurt his brothers or parents left him freezing.

Do not.

Harry never wanted that for his family.

What if he happened again? What if this time they weren't so lucky?

Harry wouldn't allow it.

"So Harry ..." James's voice pulled Harry out of the memory of him. "What did you decide?"

Harry looked at his two parents with determination shining in his green eyes, he made up his mind.

He hoped his friends wouldn't make a fuss, though knowing them Harry seriously doubted it.

•••

"How come you won't come to Hogwarts with us Harry !? I shouted an altered Corvus Black-Snape (call him by his first name and you'll end up in San Mungo) at his cousin as he packed his things in a trunk.

Harry snorted, Corvus's dramas giving him a migraine.

"I told you Corvus," Harry answered looking for clothes in his closet.

"I'm not a dramatic Harold!" Corvus exclaimed offended. "Antlers, you promised to form the Marauders 2 together with me and Draco."

"We were 5 years old, Black," said an amused Harry, throwing some books into the trunk.

Draco lowered the potions book that he was reading so far to ignore the Corvus scandal.

"We were also 5 years old when you vowed to marry Ariana Lestrange," Draco said with a wicked grin, "but she doesn't even give you the time."

Harry laughed as Corvus pointed a threatening finger at Draco.

"Matter of time, Draquito!" Corvus said, ignoring the incredulous looks from his cousins. "You'll see that she ends up crazy for me."

"Yes," Harry added. She's crazy to kill you if you don't leave her alone.

"Wasn't she the one who hit you with a dictionary?" Draco asked incredulously watching Corvus sigh with goofy. We lost it, "he informed Harry.

-Now you realize? Harry asked in an obvious tone.

"It was with love!" Corvus exclaimed when he saw his beauty and they kept laughing at him. "Don't change the subject Harry, why don't you come to Hogwarts?" Forget about that camp friend.

Harry stopped smiling.

"I can't Corvus," he added too seriously for a 10-year-old boy. "I must protect my family and for that I must go to camp and train.

"Harry," Draco sighed, "you know we support you in everything but ..." Draco said worried about his best friend. "Do you know that what happened wasn't your fault?" True?

"Yes, I know," said Harry with a fake smile, his friends noticed it but didn't say anything "but I still want to go," the little green-eyed said. I am not only a wizard, I am also a demigod.

"Yeah, yeah, you're a weird salad combination, we got it," Corvus said, "but we're going to miss you, idiot."

Harry smiled softly and let his only best friends hug him.

"I'm going to miss you antlers," Corvus whispered.

"And I you," Harry answered. "Padfoot, Moony." Do not hesitate.

They jumped apart when they heard a voice at the door of the room.

"Awww, I knew they had feelings," said Adhara Black-Snape entering her best friend's room. "Corvus, are you still with your drama?" Brother get over it now.

"Damn, I'm not dramatic!" Corvus yelled indignantly. "Besides, what are you doing here?" I thought you were with Cassie playing dolls or something.

"If that lets you sleep at night," Draco whispered.

"Can't I say goodbye to Harry too?" Adhara said glaring at her twin.

"I never said that, Addy."

"You'd better Corvus."

Adhara advanced towards I went to Harry and hugged him being reciprocated by the boy.

"It's not your fault," Adhara whispered in Harry's hatred so that only he would hear it, "when you meet him you'll understand Harry."

Harry looked at his cousin puzzled at her, while she is just smiling and walking gracefully out of the room.

"By the way," added the black-haired girl in the doorway. "Papa Sev I said come down, it's time to go." She looked at Harry as if she knew something that the black-haired man didn't. "See you at Christmas Harry."

And he left the room.

"You heard her Corvus," Draco told him, "stop acting like a baby and let's go." Harry must go.

"Shut up, Moony," the Black muttered to Draco. "Don't think I'll forget about this conversation, Harold!"

It was the last thing he yelled before Draco dragged him out of the room, Harry only had to go down to the living room of the mansion to confirm that his cousins were already there with his parents.

Sirius was the first to notice his presence.

-Puppy! The man exclaimed. "Tell your father that Ireland is a thousand times better than Bulgaria!" Look at James who was just laughing at his friend's antics.

"Sirius, for the love of Merlin," Severus exclaimed to her husband, pinching the bridge of her nose.

"But Sev!" Sirius said dramatically. "Now I owe James 10 gallons for yesterday's game!"

"Did you bet?" Remus added incredulously.

"I don't know what you expected coming from Sirius, Rem," Lucius told her husband.

"Obviously I won," James crooned as the kids laughed.

"Dad," Cassie called James, "Where do babies come from?" I heard Corvus talk about it yesterday with Uncle Sirius.

The fun atmosphere in the room faded and all the adults looked at Sirius, who raised his hands in peace.

The children instead gave Corvus a bad look who hid behind his twin.

"Cassie, baby," Regulus said, because no one was going to answer his daughter. "Why don't you walk me to your room and show me your book of fantastic creatures?"

The girl jumped up from the couch and ran to Regulus who carried her in her arms and let her daughter babble about magical creatures as they climbed the stairs.

"It was definitely a bad influence on my Black children," Severus snapped at Sirius.

"They are also my children," added the older Black smiling.

"It's just my children when things like that Sirius Orion!" Severus demanded as the Black-Snape family headed to the fireplace to go home. Disappearing in a blaze of green flames.

Remus and Lucius got up from where they were sitting and said goodbye to Harry.

"Take good care of yourself there puppy," Remus said, ruffling Harry's hair.

"And don't forget what I taught you," Lucius added, putting a hand on the boy's shoulder.

Harry nodded, he remembered perfectly.

Chin up and with a look that said: "I don't care who you are, but if you mess with me the devil will have mercy on you when he finishes you."

"I'm not forgetting Uncle Luc," Harry replied and Lucius nodded proudly at his nephew.

Draco and Harry hugged one last time and overheard part of Lucius's conversation with James.

"... Another letter came from McGonagall about Nova, Nymphadora and Charlie weasley throwing a stink bomb into the Gryffindor common room and the strangest thing is that weasley is from that house."

The children snickered and then the Malfoy-Lupines disappeared down the chimney.

"Ready Harry?" James asked his son offering his hand to disappear, his trunk had been shrunk and was in his father's pocket.

Harry sighed, took one last look at his house and took James's hand to disappear.

The sensation of vomiting hit Harry along with the dizziness, but he held on until he nearly fell flat on the ground, Harry looked up to see a valley with a campground in the middle.

This is only the beginning, the green-eyed man thought.
