Chapter 2 -

Narcissa let out a soft groan as she woke up, she had experienced a rather odd dream where she followed Sirius into the forbidden forest and got attacked by one of his friends who happened to be a werewolf and was saved by a mysterious stranger who ended up being a Potter. At least she thought it was a dream, that was until she blinked several times and opened her eyes. She jumped out of her bed and shrieked when she saw a black snake curled up on her bed.

The snake opened its emerald eyes and looked at her, it slowly slithered off of the bed. Narcissa was about to grab her wand when the snake shifted and transformed into Harry Potter.

"Oh Merlin," She let out a deep breath. "it's you."

"Yes mistress," Harry nodded, his face as emotionless as his voice. "do you need something?" He asked.

"Um...no...actually...could you...could you give me some privacy so I can get ready?" She asked. Harry nodded and walked to a corner of the room, he turned his back on her and then sat down and a chair seemed to form under him before he could fall back. Without a word or even a gesture his eyes were blindfolded. "Um...thank you." She said as she walked to her bathroom.

"You can look now," Narcissa said several minutes later after she had gotten ready and changed into her school uniform. Harry stood up, the blindfold and chair disappeared. He turned to her, once again his face was completely emotionless. "So...what happens now?"

"That is up to you." Harry replied. "I await your orders mistress."

"Why do you call me mistress?" She asked.

"Because you are my mistress, I will obey you and you only." Harry answered.

"Right...well I am going to go now, I have classes." Narcissa said.

"I shall accompany you." Harry said, though he was prepared to stay here if she told him to.

"How do you plan to do that?" Narcissa asked, she was not looking forward to explaining why she had a boy following her all around.

"Like this." Harry said as he moved forward and transformed back into a snake. Narcissa was about to speak when he teleported and ended up on top of her shoulders.

"You can use magic in your animagus form?!" She gasped in shock.

"This is not an animagus form mistress." Harry hissed. "I am capable of changing into any shape or form." To prove his point Harry transformed into a few different types of snakes before turning into a white owl, then a scorpion, then back to the black snake with green eyes.

"That's amazing! I...hold on a second. You...your speaking parsletounge...I can understand you!" Narcissa said with disbelief evident in her voice, not just at her use of a rare language that was made famous by Slytherin himself but also because

"You are my mistress, I have gifted you the ability to understand me. If you do not like it then I can remove it."

"No," She said refusing his genuine offer, after all parsletounge may be considered a dark magic by people but to her it was just another language. Besides if her parents found out then they would undoubtedly be pleased that she could speak parsletounge and that might get them off of her back for a while, if not then it's at least a nice thing to have. "thank you. But I still can't go around showing off the fact that I have a snake."

"I can stay invisible if that pleases mistress, or if you wish then I can take another form."

"No...no..." Narcissa shook her head. "I can't risk it. It'd be easier if you were just another student."

"Easier?" Harry repeated.

"Yes, that way you could just come with me to class all the time. I think it's best that you don't come with me today, when I get back we can talk more about it." She hissed, Harry nodded before transforming back to his human form.

"If that is what you wish." Harry nodded.

"Thank you," She nodded. "when I return I would like to talk to you more."

"You merely need to call for me and I shall appear." Harry said to her as she began leaving the room, she gave him one small smile and nod before she exited.

"Easier." Harry muttered to himself before he teleported away.

A few minutes later Harry landed inside the home of Fleamont and Euphemia Potter.

"You four," Narcissa said as she walked up to the marauders, the name of Sirius's group. "come with me now." She said in a voice that told them it was far better and safer to not argue with her and just do as she said. As she walked away she was rather pleased when she heard the four quickly rush after her. Soon she lead the four to an abandoned classroom, she closed the door and put up several spells to guarantee their privacy.

"Cissy, I..." Sirius began speaking only to get cut off when Narcissa turned to him and glared at him.

"Now," She said in a cold and slow voice. "I followed you yesterday because I found out you were going out at night. I followed because I was worried that one of my cousins, one of the people I can willingly tolerate and one of the few people I actually love in this godforsaken world, was going to do something stupid and get expelled. I did not expect to go and get attacked!"

"I am sorry!" Remus said with tears in his eyes.

"You can't tell anyone!" James said in a worried voice. "It's not his fault! He..."

"Quiet!" Narcissa cut him off. "I am not an uneducated idiot! I know full well that he is incapable of controlling himself on a full moon. I understand that you three are protected in your animagus forms and I understand why you are doing it. What I am upset about is the fact that everything you've done is beyond dangerous! People have ended up permanently damaging their bodies when they attempted to learn how to become Animagus's without proper guidance! You're lucky that none of you ended up in Azkaban or St Mungo's!"

"In our..." Sirius started but Narcissa continued and powered over his voice with her own.

"And that's not to mention Regulus!" She said. "What do you think would happen to him and I if you ended up injured or in prison?"

"We're really sorry Cissy." Sirius said in a sincere voice. "But he's our friend!" Sirius said as he placed an arm around Remus's shoulder with James putting an arm around his other shoulder. Narcissa glanced at Pettigrew and noticed that he took slightly longer than the others before putting his hand on Remus.

"And that's why I am not hexing you to next Sunday!" Narcisa glared at all of them. "I won't tell anyone but for Merlin's sakes you are going to be careful or I will send you to the hospital myself, is that understood?" The boys gave small nods and whispered out a few words. "I said is that understood?!"

"Yes ma'am!" All four said instantly in a clear voice with their backs straightening.

"Good." Narcissa said with a small smile.

"So you're not going to stop us?" Peter asked.

"Please," Narcisa gave a very un-lady like snort. "you'll just do it behind my back anyway."

"Ah, you know us so well." Sirius grinned for a second before it vanished. "By the way, what happened to that other guy?"

"I assume you are referring to Harry." Narcissa replied.

"Harry?" Remus asked.

"The guy who knocked you out with wandless magic." James explained before turning to Narcissa. "I remember he said his name was Harry Potter, but I'd never seen him before."

"I didn't talk much with him." Narcissa admitted.

"What happened?" Sirius asked.

"He took me to my room..." Narcissa started only to get interrupted.

"That's rather forward of him." Sirius joked.

"Sirius, do you want me to hurt you?" She raised an eyebrow.

"I'll shut up now."

"Please continue." James said.

"And then he got me a drink and then I was so tired that I fell asleep, I woke up today and he was waiting for me." Narcissa had chosen to not tell them how Harry was in her bed nor would she tell them about his ability to shift into multiple animals, not yet at least. "As far as I'm aware he is still in my room. I plan to talk to him later and find out more."

"Maybe I could contact mum and dad and find out about him." James offered.

"No," Narcissa shook her head. "not yet at least. I shall try first, after that we will contact the other Potters. But for now...go to classes, act like everything's normal and we'll talk later."

"State your business wizard." Blackclaw, a Gringotts goblin, said without looking up from the jewels he was counting.

"I want to go to school." A voice replied.

Blackclaw looked up in surprise, having definitely not expected that answer. He looked at the speaker, he recognised the two people accompanying him. They were Lord and Lady Potter, but he didn't recognise the speaker, he looked just like the male Potter but then again all humans looked the same. Except this male had green eyes instead of the brown eyes that Lord Potter possessed.

"Merlin, I am tired." Narcissa groaned as she entered her room and sat down on a chair. Not only was she worn out from classes, she had also stayed behind in potions class for extra teaching along with more points. Professor Slughorns after class, while tiring, was a good opportunity for those that wanted to learn more about potions. Narcissa and a few other students such as David Greengrass, Lily Evans and her friend Alice went there once a week.

She also had to spend time in the library doing homework and then on the way back she had to do her best to avoid Lucius Malfoy. Malfoy, in her opinion, was an arrogant brat that should not be allowed near girls like herself. Yes he was rich and a pureblood, but he was also an arse that couldn't take a hint. Malfoy was under the impression that because they would be great together because they were both rich, blonde purebloods. Narcissa was not interested in him at all, though she had no doubt that her parents wouldn't care if Malfoy Senior put up enough money and an offer.

"Mistress," Harry's voice brought her out of her thoughts, she looked up and saw Harry standing behind him. "are you well?" He asked.

"Yes," She said with a small nod. "merely tired."

"If mistress wishes to rest then I can make sure that you will not be disturbed." Harry offered.

"Thank you but I don't know if I am capable of falling asleep at the moment."

"I can assist with that." Harry said as he walked behind her. Narcissa was about to speak when he placed his hands on her shoulders, he slowly began massaging her. Narcissa let out a small groan as she felt him remove her tension via some very magical fingers.

"Oh, that is brilliant." She moaned as her eyes closed. "Keep going."

"If that's what you wish mistress." Harry replied as he continued to massage her.

"That is what I wish." She whispered in agreement.

"Oh," Narcissa woke the next day. "goodness I feel tired." She yawned as she sat up.

"Good morning mistress," She heard Harry say. She looked and found him standing a corner.

"Do you sleep?" She asked, a little surprised by the fact that he always seemed to be awake when she fell asleep and awake when she woke up.

"I do not require sleep." Harry replied. "I can sleep if that's what you wish me to do."

"What do you do when I'm asleep?" She asked.

"I guard you." Harry answered.

"Yes but what else?"

"I ensure you're not disturbed." Harry responded.

"Is that all?"

"Should I be doing something else?" Harry asked with a curious tilt of his head.

"No...it's just...never mind. I will be getting ready now."

"Very well." Harry replied as he turned around, a blindfold appearing on his face and a chair appearing under him as he sat down. He stayed perfectly still for several minutes until Narcissa returned once she was in her school uniform.

"You can look." She said, Harry's blindfold and chair disappeared as he stood up and looked at her. "I must know, what did you do to me yesterday?"

"Mistress?" Harry asked.

"Did you do something when you were massaging me?" She asked.

"No mistress, have I made a mistake?" He asked.

"No, it's just...it was helpful in getting me to sleep... so thank you." Narcissa replied. "In fact, I think it was too good. I'm still tired."

"I can fix that for you." Harry said as he tapped a finger on her forehead. A pleasurable jolt went through her body and she was suddenly full of energy.

"What was that?" She gasped.

"I refilled your energy mistress." Harry answered, his green eyes locking on to hers.

"Uh, thank you." She said, not sure what else to say. "I will go now, I have classes, goodbye." She said before walking out of the room.

"Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen," Professor Dumbledore spoke at dinner time when the great hall was filled with students, everyone's attention went to the headmaster as he didn't usually make speeches. "I understand that you all wish to enjoy the lovely food in front of you, however I have a special announcement to make first. Today Hogwarts is greeted with a new student, so I would like a few minutes of your time to sort him."

People began whispering and gossiping with each other, wondering who this new student was, where he came from along with why he had only joined Hogwarts today. However they didn't get much time as the doors of the great hall opened and the student in question walked in. The marauders and Narcissa had a stunned look on their face when they realised it was Harry. Narcissa was able to recover quickly but wondered why he hadn't told her. Then again he might have planned to earlier before she had left.

As Harry walked along she noticed the reaction he gained from the others. The boys seemed either jealous, uncaring or didn't seem to like him. The last part was likely because of the fact that he was a Potter and with James's reputation they likely thought it meant another prankster had arrived. The first reaction was likely because of the way the girls were looking at Harry. The girls were either whispering to each other swooning at the sight of him.

Narcissa couldn't really blame them, as Harry did look very appealing. He walked with the elegance and grace of a predator, his messy raven coloured hair gave off a beautiful 'just been in the wind' effect. It also brought attention to his face which Narcissa would consider to be more handsome than James Potter's, and if that wasn't enough then his bright emerald eyes just made him look like every girl's wet dream. Plus he looked good in uniform.

Harry, as he walked to the front where Professor McGonagall stood alongside a stool while holding the sorting hat in her had, decided that patience wasn't really necessary at the moment. He did not care for the sorting experience nor did he care about the houses, he intended to go to Slytherin simply because that's where his mistress was. Harry sent some of his magic towards to hat to help speed things up.

"Everyone, allow me to introduce Mr Harry Potter." Dumbledore said as Harry approached. "He will be in sixth year and..." Dumbledore was cut off by none other than the sorting hat.

"Slytherin!" The hat shouted, after being forced by Harry, before Harry had even reached it. Harry ignored the reaction from the others and began walking to the Slytherin table when he was stopped.

"Excuse me, Mr Potter, please wait a moment." Dumbledore said, causing Harry to stop and turn to him. "You have not been sorted yet."

"The hat said Slytherin." Harry pointed out in his usual emotionless tone.

"Be that as it may, you must have the hat on your head for it to be a proper sorting." Dumbledore replied. He was about to go on when Harry extended his left arm.

The sorting hat flew out of Professor McGonagall's hand and into Harry's, the volume of the hall increased at seeing the new student casually use wandless magic but Harry once again ignored them in favour of getting this over with. He placed the hat on his head and with the help of his magic he got the hat to repeat the results.

"Slytherin!" The hat shouted. Harry removed it and tossed it to Professor McGonagall before walking over to the Slytherin table, or more specifically where Narcissa was sat.

As Harry got near to Narcissa he saw that she was sat opposite a younger boy with black hair. Harry was tempted to remove him but he saw that his mistresses magic liked the boy and therefore he chose not to do anything and merely sat next to Narcissa.

"Uh...hi." The boy said in a shy voice. "I'm Regulus, Regulus Black."

"Harry Potter." Harry answered, his voice as emotionless as his face.

"What are you doing here?" Narcissa whispered into his ear.

"You said this would be easier for you," Harry whispered back. "I live to serve you mistress and I will do any and everything that will make you happy." Harry whispered back.

Narcissa's cheeks flushed when Harry had whispered back, partly because of his actual words and also because of how close he was and because she could feel his breath on her ear and neck. She also felt a tingle shoot through her body when he spoke, not just her body, but also her magic. She assumed that he was doing something to comfort her.

Unfortunately her reaction was noticed by many people who began gossiping about the 'relationship' between Narcissa Black and the new student. Dumbledore cleared his throat and spoke again.

"Well I must say, that was one of the more unique sorting's I've ever had the pleasure of witnessing, please enjoy your dinner." Dumbledore said as he sat down.

The headmaster glanced towards Harry Potter, his mind going in overdrive. He had never heard of a Harry Potter, that wasn't completely surprising as he wasn't best friends with the Potters. In fact the current Lord and Lady Potter preferred to keep their distance from him, James Potter on the other hand was easier to get along with as he was able to present himself as a strong and intelligent light wizard from an early age.

Harry Potter was a new card that had entered the field and Dumbledore wasn't sure how to react to him. On one hand the boy hasn't done anything yet but on the other hand the boy is clearly capable of doing wandless magic, as evidenced by his casual summoning of the sorting hat, and was immediately sent to Slytherin before the hat even touched him. If that's not signs of a dark wizard then Dumbledore didn't know what was.

Dumbledore knew that Tom Riddle, his former student turned dark wizard, was recruiting whatever witches and wizards he could to his cause. Dumbledore did not want to see what Tom could do with Harry Potter on his side, it was possible for him to cause serious damage. Dumbledore couldn't let that happen, he had no doubt that Harry Potter could end up being a great wizard for whatever cause he fought for. So he needed to make sure that he fought for the light or nothing at all.

"So Potter," Lucius Malfoy drawled, he had sat nearby because he wanted to use the opportunity to talk to Narcissa, she was going to be his future wife after all. But now this new person had arrived, and he did not like the way that he was talking to Narcissa, nor did he like the way that he made her blush, especially when Lucius's best efforts only resulted in being ignored at best or glares at worst. "I've never heard or seen you before, are you sure you're not a mudblood that the Potter family adopted to..."

"He's bothering you." Harry said to Narcissa, interrupting whatever Malfoy was about to say, not that Harry cared what blonde boy was going on about. What did bother him was the irritation he sensed from Narcissa from when the prat spoke.

"I was talking to you Potter!" Malfoy said, not liking the fact that he was ignored.

"Shall I kill him?" Harry whispered to Narcissa, ignoring Malfoy once again.

"No," Narcissa replied, though she was quite tempted to say yes. "not now at least."

"Potter!" Malfoy growled. "Don't ignore me."

"Quiet, you are irrelevant." Harry said to him before turning back to Narcissa. "Shall I remove his ability to produce sound?" Harry whispered.

"Hmm," Narcissa thought about it for all of three seconds before a smile appeared on her face and she nodded. "go on."

"Potter, I..." Malfoy was about to continue when Harry waved his hand over Malfoy's mouth, the blonde paused and looked around for any sign of a spell. When he found none he continued speaking for several moments, he became more incensed when he saw that Potter had chosen to once again ignore him in favour of conversing with Narcissa, eventually he realised that no sounds were coming out of his mouth and he was somehow silenced.

He settled into something that he would not describe as a pout, even though everyone else did.
