HP/ Glee Female Character TBD
XXI: Bound by Blood
Sore heads, aching limbs and very little clothing, is the scene that Will Schuester discovers when he let himself into his former residence. He had meant to leave the key when he had originally left but had forgotten. "Seems like a good thing, I forgot." He thought to himself as he entered via the kitchen door.
The house had three entries; front door, kitchen door and garage door. Will knew that the entrance that would get least resistance would be the Kitchen. You could see any idiot, ne'er-do-wells and most other fools who could try and break in. Then there were the protections, the place if you had ill intentions was a veritable fortress. But, one of in his opinions coolest places to hang out.
As he entered the kitchen, he found Harry resting at the table with a bottle of what appeared to be ale of some sort, as Will entered the hand holding the bottle went limp. Will had been spotted, identified as not a threat and the feeling of foreboding quickly subsided. "How are you holding up?"
"Badly…How long have I been out of it? As in…" Harry began.
"You've been less confrontational; the irritability has come back and you've been spending a lot of the time literally being guided around and forced to eat. That's lasted for this past week…This is possibly the worst thing for me to ask, but what do you last remember?"
Harry looked at Will, his eyes shimmering slightly "Not much…I remember…The aurors, the abduction attempt and the threats but other than that…nothing."
Will nodded "Can you explain to me what Dean meant by 'Harry's gone to sleep?'"
Harry nodded "There is a term for any young magical who develops a parasitic relationship with their magic…or rather a young magical who develops a dark parasitic force known as 'Obscurus'…A young magical who has an Obscurus is known as an Obscurial. Obscurus and Obscurial are made when young magicals are forced to consciously repress their magical abilities…Anyway, that's if the process goes on for far too long. However, some idiot theorised that if a magical child can repress and access his magic on a whim they could become a 'super-wizard'…" Harry snorted darkly at that and took a swig. Will nodded, this appeared to be opening wounds.
"Anyway, I was brought up in hell. If it hadn't been for the fact that it was only my Aunt, Uncle and Cousin and occasionally my Cousin's thuggish idiotic friends who tormented me and made my life hell…I'd probably be an Obscurial and an extremely dangerous one. More dangerous than Credence Barebone…the last known recorded Obscurial, who managed to become an even more dangerous wizard…Anyway, due to my upbringing and expectations of being the Wizarding Britain's love-hate-back up-despise-man depending on the spineless cunt in charge, my symbiotic relationship with my magic is only so slightly parasitic…When Dean says 'Harry's gone to sleep'…"
Will's eyes widened "Your consciousness or rather the aspect of Harry, that we all know and respect and at times dislike, swaps? With what I saw damage wise, quite literally the closest thing I can describe is a force of nature."
"That's because Harry is one." It was Neville, the broad-shouldered well muscled new-comer, he descended the stairs cracking and twisting his back. He plucked the bottle of ale from Will's hand and sat on a counter top "Harry's paternal family, the Potters whilst well-known for being pioneers in Transfiguration, Runes and Wards, were also gifted in Battle…The greater they were at fighting the more their magic boosted their reflexes. Harry's reflexes are close to off the charts to begin with and that was before he started to become a Potter. No-one actually knows if the Potters have had Obscurials and Obscuri in their family and quite frankly they never have. House Potter is renowned for their terrifying battle prowess and full force attack, which Harry demonstrated at The Battle of Hogwarts where calmly gouged trenches in the earth as he casually battered Death Eaters and their sycophants aside as he went to deal with Tom Riddle. Due to his split between him and his magic…He is the closest thing to a controlled Obscurus that's still alive. The sanest thing he's done has been to bind his own magic with his own willpower and gave the keys to Hermione and Myself."
"Don't worry, sir…We know exactly what sort of power we have at our disposal. Harry, needs the pair of us to agree that circumstances are met to unleash his full power."
"The circumstances that were met this time were?"
"His Godson. Hadrian Potter, is an orphan dropped in the m…"
"Don't you fucking start putting me in Hamilton, Neville…Edward's lost his parents and his grandfather. He's only got me and his grandmother; I never thought I'd have a chance to have a family, I only really started thinking about tomorrow after Hogwarts. Before then, I had gotta go, gotta get a job done…I got it done and turned Wizarding Britain upside down as I fled."
Will nodded, by now the rest of the house had descended "Harry, what is it with you applying Hamilton to your experiences?"
"Seamus, think about it…Every single event in our past has had one factor…me."
Seamus snorted "Am I going to have to demand satisfaction?"
"Neville's my second." Harry declared a grin on his face.
"Burr, Hamilton sit down…Harry, back to Obscurials and Obscuri please…Your Godson."
Harry sighed "Due to Edwards family problems, I am not allowed both by this joyous bunch or his Grandmother to throw away, my shot at being his guardian. I will NOT LOSE anymore of my family…Edward is and always will be my constant link to sanity."
Will nodded "I came by because well…mainly to return the key."
"Keep it…I have a feeling you're going to need it. Anything else?"
"We've got a new teacher, she's actually a substitute and she's gonna teach you about sex…I want you all to be there, my awkward students. Plus, I want you all to BEHAVE…Yes, Harry…I don't want to hear any sort of maiming threat in the corridors."
"Fine, William. I'll be as innocent as the…I'm not going there." Harry replied nearly absentmindedly.
The next morning the House decided to walk to school. Harry was a ball of anticipation and almost childlike glee and as they crossed the road he began to sing.
(Bound by Blood-Paddy and the Rats.)
Father was boozer
He liked to miss his job. (Harry)
Loser and seducer who was lost. (Dean and Seamus)
Mother tried her best, She was broken and depressed (Hermione)
But we had each other, always in this mess (Everyone)
Tried to run, you looked far away
I had to calm you, tell you to stay.
So I took you by the hand
Together swum against the flood
On the faith in which we stand
Is our love (woah)
Life was not as we've planned
'Cause we were born and raised in mud
But we were strong (Neville)
We were brave
We were bound by our blood (Neville and Harry)
We wanted to get away
'Cause we were bound
In all these lies
Chained to all these numbing fears inside
Without shackles on our heart
We wanted to feel alive
The starry skies were our home every night (Dean and Seamus)
Tried to run, you looked far away
I had to calm you, tell you to stay
So I took you by the hand
Together swum against the flood
On the faith in which we stand
Is our love (woah)
Life was not as we've planned
'Cause we were born and raised in mud
But we were strong (Hermione)
We were brave
We were bound by our blood (Hermione, Neville and Harry)
We will fade at the last golden sun
Our shadows disappear and we'll be one (Harry)
But we won't pray
'Cause we know that's what we had
Together we were young
We were mad (Dean and Seamus)
So I took you by the hand
Together swum against the flood
On the faith in which we stand
Is our love (woah)
Life was not as we've planned
'Cause we were born and raised in mud
But we were strong
We were brave
We were bound by our blood (Hermione)
So I took you by the hand
Together swum against the flood
On the faith in which we stand
Is our love (woah)

We were bound by our blood (Everyone)
The five of them reached the front of McKinley High as they finished a Mashup from the Chainsmokers, that Harry had found on YouTube. "What's got you in a good mood?" It was Rachel.
"Feeling lighter, Berry. Please, I promised Will that I would be innocent and polite…"
"Harry…" Hermione growled and to Rachel's surprise Harry calmed down.
"Sorry about that…anyway, what's this about a substitute teacher and sex ed?"
"Weren't you paying attention?"
"I've been on automaton mode since the Wedding. Anyway, what have I missed?"
Rachel turned red as Mike turned up "Kurt's quit. Karofsky's pushed him a few too many times."
"The urge to maim rising, the urge to maim rising…" Harry muttered, he stopped took a deep breath "I'll break Karofsky later. After school, I kinda promised Will that I'd behave for now…Anyway class anyone?"
Mike smirked "Bet you $10 that you act like a fool."
"I'll bet you I don't but still go along with whatever is about to happen." The two shook on it and Harry pulled out a $10 and gave it to Archie surprisingly enough.
"Don't spend it Archie. Don't ask, just accept and if anyone asks you're being paid in advance, treated with civility…"
"Want me to make myself scarce so I can have deniability?"
The House mates shuddered and fixed Harry with a cold stare "We told you to stop singing Hamilton."
"It's amazing!" Declared Harry
"It's annoying! First time is fine, but anything more than twice is just plain annoying!" Hermione snapped.
They made it to Spanish and instead of Will Schuester, there was a blonde with piercing blue eyes with an amazing figure. It didn't take Harry long, despite being blind as a bat without glasses to realise that the teacher knew it and addressed to utilise it against the students.
She was most definitely attractive but if this woman was doing this to his peers. He shuddered at what would happen if they met Fleur. Hermione and Dean who were closest to him picked up on either his body posture or train thought and had to disguise several snorts and hacking laughs as they remembered the stunningly beautiful Veela.
"Something funny?" Miss Holiday asked.
"Breakfast not exactly agreeing…" Harry replied blandly. The class were slightly surprised at how fluent Harry sounded, but then again he sounded rather off his head as opposed to the literal dynamite keg that he normally was.
Soon enough, it was time for Glee Club. "How! How are you not acting like a lovesick idiot like the rest of us?" Mike asked.
"Holiday is very, very attractive and I do not disagree with you on that subject. However, I've had one of Rons-In-Laws try and bedazzle me and it didn't work. She is Breathtaking."
"Didn't she also call you a 'leetle boy' to your face?" Neville retorted.
"And lived." Dean commented.
"We're missing something." Archie said as he joined them, he had just caught the tail-end of the discussion "Before you say 'Your Shot' Harry, this is something to do with the Wedding Throwdown or pre-dates it."
"Damn, Artie…you're sharper than we give you credit. Yeah when I was Fourteen, I was in a Death Tournament. I won, then everything went to shit. However, Fleur…woman I'm referring to here stuck out the war and married my former best friends eldest brother."
"What's so special about her?" This was Puck.
Harry smirked and reached into his wallet and pulled out a small bundle of coloured moving photos. "This is the wedding day…"
Harry won the $20. It turned out the Veela allure could influence mundanes from a photo. He tuned out Holly Holiday as she began to give the talk.
"What could…" Harry thought.
"HIT IT!" Then the drumbeat started.
