Disclaimer: I don't own any of Rowling or Butcher's characters and I'm making nothing from this.
Chapter 9
Harry's POV
I was waiting for either Snape or someone else to corner me, telling me that they knew that I wasn't, in soul, Harry Potter. However, nothing happened. I didn't trust this and my gut instinct told me that I was right. While the other Slytherin's were eating dinner I told Bob what had happened.
"This is NOT good," he said, "If your enemies get wind that you're in the body of an eleven year old, they could attack."
"I agree," I said. "So what are you going to do?"
"Well there's not much I can do," I said, "Except do what Mab is asking and take down this Tom Riddle person."
"And the world will be a much better place," Bob said, "Harry, I've been thinking about how Tom was able to survive. This Harry Potter child survived the Killing Curse, one spell that the White Council knows about but it seems that is used highly in this part of the world. The wizards here don't even use the kinds of tools that you see American wizards using."
"Okay," I said, slowly.
"Well the only way that you could survive such a backlash was if you hid a piece of your soul. They're called Horcrux's and they're bad. This is black magic beyond anything that you did when you killed your old master."
Great, just great!
"So any idea how I can get rid of one?" I asked Bob.
"Well you are the Winter Knight and you have the power of that court. When Winter is at its height then I think that we should go after one."
"But finding one will be hard," I said to him.
"True, but maybe Mab can help," Bob said, "Her knight did fight against him. So maybe he took something from him."
"It could be worth a shot," I said, "I'll contact her now."
Summoning Mab was easy and with a few commands she appeared. Mab looked at me and I then asked for her help.
"Yes, we did get something from him," she said, "We even charmed it to stay fresh. We did it just in-case he ever did come back."
"Then I need it."
"It will only work when Winter is at its height," she said, "After blood has been spilled and we gain control over the table. When that happens I'll deliver the charm."
"Thanks," I said.
"And a map," she added, "I know that you're seeking what kept him from death and the charm has been made to find them. However, remember, the charm will only work when Winter is at its height."
"I understand," I said and Mab was gone.
"Very limited time then," Bob stated.
"I agree," I said to him.
The damn charm would only work during the Winter Solstice, but, still, the charm was deadly….for him. I didn't tell Karrin about the charm when she came back. I was going to start her off with lessons to help control this power that made wizards different from witches that worked out of their home. Powers that made them members of the White Council.
"So I'm supposed to make this bead move and join the others," she said, when I handed her the same exercise that I had given Molly.
An exercise that took her three months to realize was pointless.
"Yep," I said.
"I hope this isn't something that you're doing to waste my time," she said, giving me a look.
"Now would I do that?"
She glared at me.
"What is she doing?" Malfoy asked me when he saw her focusing on bead.
"Keeping from flooding the common room," I answered.
He looked at me and then asked, "Did you hear the news?"
"Does it involve your suppose 'friends' developing brains?" I asked him.
"No," he answered.
"Then, no, I didn't hear," I said to him.
"You know, sometimes I wonder how unfunny you know that you are," he said.
I rolled my eyes.
"Anyway, we're having Flying Lessons with the Gryffindor's on Thursday."
"Flying lessons," I said, confused.
"On brooms," he said.
"Oh no, no way," I said, remembering what happened the last time.
"Oh come on, this lesson is important," he said.
"I'm not going near a broom, you can forget it," I said.
"Well you have no choice," he said, "If you want to pass your first year you have to take the lessons."
Someone hates me.
"Oh this is beyond funny," Bob said when I told him.
"It's not for me," I said.
"Want to release me so that I can have a good laugh?" he asked me.
"Like hell I'm letting you out so that you can make fun of me," I snarled.
Bob laughed.
"Oh trust me, Harry, I don't need to be released to make fun of you."
I glared at him.
"I'm sure that it won't be that bad," Karrin said, "I mean, you rode a T-Rex one time."
"Me and flying shouldn't be used in the same sentence," I told her.
"But it's only one lesson."
"Yeah, a lesson that will end up killing me."
"I doubt that," she said.
"Thanks for your vote of confidence."

Severus POV
"I've given the charm to Dresden," Mab told me. "He will come to you before the Winter Solstice. Go with him to protect him from whatever Tom has laid down as a trap. If he comes to any harm caused by your former master I will make your death very slow"
And she was gone. I shook with fear of that very threat.
