I do not own Harry Potter but I do own this plot and Charlie! So just a quick question, do any of you want to see any kind of side pairings? If so let me know! There is a small scene in this chapter with some blood and violence just a heads up nothing too serious though!
Harry stared at the man silently, he looked really rough. Harry nodded to his question and Sirius was in front of him pulling him into his arms holding him tightly. "I never thought I'd see you again."
Harry was stunned, no one had ever been this happy to see him. "I'm sorry I don't know much about you b-but if you're really my godfather than I would like to get to know you better."
Sirius pulled back grinning. "After I deal with that traitorous rat you'll have all the time in the world to get to know me, we can be a family just like James and Lily would have wanted."
Charlie stepped forward setting the basket down. "Siri you need to eat, Mimsy said I was to take care of you since she wouldn't be able to."
The older man rolled his eyes. "Really that elf, I've told her time and time again I don't need her to baby me!"
Even though he said that, you could still see the warmth in his eyes at the mention of the elf.
They all sat down as Sirius dug into the food practically devouring it. They talked between themselves for hours until Charlie noticed the time. "We need to go, it's really late and Harry has class tomorrow."
Sirius frowned but nodded in understanding. "Come back again when you can I'd love to learn more about you Harry."
The boy nodded smiling happily as he followed his uncle out of the shrieking shake. "He seems really cool, I'm glad I'll get to know him better."
Charlie looked down at Harry thoughtfully. "You know you have more family than just Sirius right?"
Harry looked up at him sharply. "Are you serious? Who else is there? I thought all my family was dead and that's why I had to go to the Dursleys."
Charlie was silent for a moment before speaking. "Your grandmother was a Black, her name was Dorea Black, and she was sisters with Walburga, Sirius mother, they had a brother who married and had three daughters, Andromeda, Bellatrix, and Narcissa."
There was a pause as Charlie let that sink in. Harry eyes widened in shock before looking over to Charlie. "Are you saying Draco is my cousin?"
Charlie nodded smiling softly. "I know you and him didn't get off on the right foot but you were children then, your older now so maybe it wouldn't be so wrong to try and make up with him, he is family after all."
Harry was silent as he though this over and he nodded. "Your right, I should apologize for being such a git to him, and Charlie do you think it's possible that I'd be able to meet Narcissa, Bellatrix, or Andromeda, since they are kind of like my great aunts or something."
Charlie nodded. "It should be fairly easy getting you a meeting with Narcissa and Andormeda, as for Bellatrix, well she's kind of in prison right now but I might be able to get you both a meeting."
Harry nodded grinning. Charlie led him back to his room and told him to go to bed. Harry complied feeling drained after everything.
Charlie sat down in front of the fire with a small glass of fire whiskey. There was a pop and a house elf stood in front of him nervously.
The little elf looked to him distressed. "Master Potter sir, you asked Floppy to tells you's if anyone tried to give little master Harry Potter anything bad and Floppy has come to report an incident."
Charlies eyes became dark and he stood towering over the small elf. "Tell me what happened right now!"
Floppy cowered slightly being able to feel the dark magic swirling around the room. "T-There were two potions sir, one was a form of love potion that works very slowly, take's months to kick in then builds up, the other was a compulsion potion, to compel the young sir to be loyal to Gryffindor's and the Weasley clan."
Charlie cursed slamming his fist into the wall eyes dark in his hatred. "Who tried to give him these potions?"
The elf bowed it head. "The first was attempted by a Cho Chang and the other was to be given on the orders of the headmaster, but it was created by Snape."
The oldest Potter headed for the door. "Seems I need to go pay a visit to my dear old classmate."
Charlie stalked down the halls in a horrible mood and stopped before Snape's door. He knocked loudly on the door his anger building the longer he stood outside the man's room.
The door swung open and Snape glared at him. "What could you possible want from me Potter?"
Charlie shoved the man back making him land on his ass. He pulled his wand out pointing it at his neck. "Give me one good reason why I should slit your throat and leave you for dead!"
Snape was shocked, but he narrowed his eyes. "Because I'm a loyal follower of Voldemort's, and a teacher at this institute, why has brought this on have you finally lost it? The Black genes were always stronger in you than your brother."
Charlie snarled. "Sectumsempra!" Cut's appeared on Snape's body and he let out a moan of pain and blood seeped through his clothes.
Charlie slammed his foot on Snape's hand stopping him from reaching for his wand. "How dare you try and give my nephew, no my mate a potion making him loyal to those bloody traitors!"
Snape glared at him jerking his hand away. "He's no better than his father and neither are you! Who cares if he's compelled to loyalty at least he'll die for a good cause!"
Charlie screamed in outrage leaping at Snape and throwing punch after punch. "You stay the hell away from Harry! I swear if you go anywhere near him again I'll kill you!"
The brunette pulled away from Snape, leaving him bleeding on the floor. "Remember this warning you bastard, because I promise you I will not give it again, stay away from Harry."
He turned slamming the door shut blood still boiling in his rage. How dare they try and force Harry to do something he doesn't want to. No one would be forcing anything on Harry if he has anything to do with it.
Charlie made it back to his room and decided he'd deal with the other problem tomorrow. He sighed crawling into bed next to Harry and wrapping his arms around him.
-(Break)-
Harry took a deep breath trying to compose himself, he was going to do it, he was going to apologize to Draco Malfoy and try to have a good relationship with his cousin.
Charlie patted him on the back grinning. "Stop worrying so much it'll be fine, he's going to forgive you trust me I know how purebloods are."
Harry nodded and looked to his uncle. "Don't forget your going to tell me what happened to your knuckles, that right after I talk to Malfoy."
The older Potter smirked smugly. "Trust me love you won't need me to explain, you'll understand when you see it."
Harry narrowed his eyes but chose to ignore it for now and walked forward pushing the doors open. The great hall was full of students talking between each other excitedly.
The younger teen took a deep breath before making his way over to the Slytherin table, everything became silent as people began to notice him walking over to the Slytherins.
Hermione and Ron noticed as well and thinking he was going to confront Malfoy they stood to make their way over as support, but Harry got to the table first.
Draco looked at him and glared. "What do you want Potter? Can't you see I'm trying to have a good morning?"
Harry sighed bringing forth his Gryffindor bravery. "I'm sorry! In first year I refused your hand shake and started this whole stupid feud between us without knowing anything, we're family and me rejecting your handshake was like rejecting our blood ties, I didn't know any of that until Charlie told me, so please accept my apology."
Ron and Hermione were in shock standing right behind him, along with the rest of the school. Draco's eyes were wide before he composed himself. "I suppose since you didn't know what you were doing, then I can forgive you, besides it wasn't just your fault, I was being slightly pig headed."
Harry grinned and held his hand out. Draco smirked clasping hands and shaking it, this was an end to their stupid rivalry and now they could maybe work towards becoming family.
Ron seemed to be unable to keep his mouth shut any longer. "Harry what the bloody hell do you think you're doing! He's a slimy little snake! He's a Slytherin how could you just apologize what the hell is wrong with you!"
Everyone was silent, and Harry shot a glare at the red head. "Look Ron your my first friend so I don't want to fight but don't say anything bad against my family, Draco is my cousin, his mom is my aunt I don't want to be fighting with my family I want to have a real family."
The red head was fuming face bright red. He turned storming off and Hermione looked at him disapproving. "Harry Ron's right, you can't go making friends with Slytherins, besides he's not your family, he may share some blood but that doesn't make him family, the Dursley's are your family."
Harry glared at her pissed off. "The Dursley's will never be my family! They tormented and starved me for years, I didn't even know my real name until I started school, I grew up the first years of my life thinking my name was freak, so they will never be my family!"
There were gasps of horror around the room. Draco stood standing next to Harry, Charlie came and stood on his other side both giving silent support. Hermione huffed and turned leaving the great hall.
Charlie nodded to the blonde and then placed his hand on Harry's shoulder. "I got something that will cheer you up Har."
He turned the younger around to face the teachers table and Harry's eyes widened in shock. He choked on a laugh seeing bruises on Snape's face. "I can't believe you beat up professor Snape!"
Charlie snickered shrugging. "He deserved for what he attempted to do, by the way Har don't drink anything I don't give you, they could be poisoned, and I will tell you the full story later."
Harry nodded and gave a nod to Draco before making his way to the Gryffindor table. He took a seat next to Neville and the two started talking about Herbology.
Charlie looked at the head of the table smirking smugly at Dumbledore eyes screaming at the old man. 'Your move.'
