The fire place light up and Mister Longbottom walked out, he turned and caught Miss Lovegood. I felt the wards go up around the room.
"Ray." Harry got up and kissed her check and hugged him. He waved to the couch and sat in a chair that showed up next to me. Mister Longbottom handed over the binder. They greeted the goblin.
"Before we start Harry have you got any closer to making up your mind?" The goblin asked.
"With what pup?" Sirius asked.
"While Harry is our era's he has not claimed the title fully. He's having some worries with claiming the titles. The school charter needs all four eras to over ride the minter and board." I raised my eye brow.
"You need four bodies?" He nodded.
"Which means if Harry chose this path you Severus would take on the Slytherin title. You four would control the school, you still need a head of the school for day to day use. But you over ride him and everyone else. Once the era's no long controlled the school a board was put into place. Then though out the recent years the minter has gained more control. As it sits now. The school shouldn't even be allowed to open. It isn't meeting the charter."
"How?"
"Any magical person is allowed to come here and learn. All that there is to learn. There shouldn't be any subjection within the school walls. That is what this school was built on. None of those are being met. Half the magical children aren't even being offered a place here. Right now the minter is only allowing a certain power level to enter our world. Blood and house classes is out of control. A third of what should be taught here is being taught."
"Hogwarts is ranked 5 in the world of schools. It was at one time first and held that title for many years." Mister Longbottom told me.
"A third of the children from the book of souls is being offered a place here. The school doesn't allow transfers either. On top of that pure bloods have more power within the school than anyone else." Harry hissed something.
"NETs are a jock of who's coming out of the school. The minter has their own board in this country. The pure bloods make the standers. Most of the other schools are tested from the IWC board. If someone from Hogwarts thrashers to another school they are at less a year or two behind everyone else." Harry told me.
"Squills, creators and mixed blood aren't normally allowed. That is a big problem." Miss Lovegood said. "Pure blood families hid their mixed blood." I nodded.
"The board was picked because they fund part of the school, that's what gives them power. But before the era and founders funded the school along with what students could pay. The money coming in isn't enough. What teacher's make is very small to what it should be." Mister Longbottom told me.
"Family rights have also been banded or removed. Yes the age of a person having a child has changed. But that shouldn't change the fact that families should be allowed here." Harry said throw Salazar.
"Why haven't you agreed." I asked him. He thought about his answer.
"It is partly your chose also. I couldn't make it without you. I also don't want to bring more notice to myself and this will." I thought about it.
"And if I agree." He looked my face over. Then tapped his wrist. I nodded. We would talk about this latter. There were many things to talk about. The goblin started going everything he needed to. What bothered me was a mating bond wouldn't form if I wasn't his mate. Meaning I was his mate. Though I am another mate. I looked Harry over. I wasn't against the idea. I got up and walked down his hall into his study.
"Ah Severus I see you have finely understood what I said." Ingest said. I shut the door and sat in front of the desk.
"Am I able to have two mates?" I asked. He looked my face over.
"Yes everyone has the ability to have more than one mate Severus. There are reason the fates gave you a mate or gave you more than one. Have you thought about the fact that you and your mate might be Harry's mates." I haven't thought about that. "You as a person though are able to have two sprat mates. One might mate your magic while another your mind, body, emotions, age. But to have this bond formed with Harry, you haven't bonded with your mate." I nodded to him.
"I haven't." He nodded.
"Would you be against explaining why?"
"He is bonded with another throw a bonding contact his father made when we were young. She knows that we are mates." He nodded.
"Something to speck to young Harry about. Explain first you aren't rejecting him or he will think you are. Take your time with him Severus. While he might not be either a dom or a sub, he is a tender soul. Though his body is still young his mind is not." I nodded and understood. "Would you be against tell me what you are?"
"Neither, my mate leans more towards a sub."
"That might be the reason. All three of you are in the middle. While you are strong for one you can be weak for another. Remember though Harry can be a carrier." That surprised me. "Don't push him young man." I nodded.
"You will do good as the Era to Slytherin son. Maybe that's what you need to grow." I glared at him. "Get away from your masters. It's unbecoming for a Prince to have one let alone two." I nodded.
"He will be good for you also Severus. You just have to allow him. There is no greater mate then a elf. That doesn't mean your first mate is any less." I nodded.
"He might not be happy."
"Bring your mate into the bond and he will be Harry's mate also. None of you will ever be higher or lower than the other. A little tip, my families bond over rides any other bond besides a mating bond. If this is everyone's chose your mate can leave his wife."
"He, we care for her."
"Shouldn't she be granted a mate also Severus. Leaving her doesn't mean she will be without. A woman is always needed around, weather a friend, sister or mother." I never thought about that. "Our bonding are throw magic not the minster. They have no ruling over you young Prince. You hold more power than they do." I nodded.
"Could she stay in her place?" He nodded.
"Your place hasn't changed Severus. Neither has Harry's. It is our chose to change our names or place. The goblins will help, they and our family are close. Now Severus have you accepted Harry as your mate?" I thought about it.
"Yes." He smiled at me. Then pointed to my ring. It was still a band. There was a black diamond in the center. Then a snake wrapped around the band with green eyes.
"Your soul allows magic to change the ring. Now you can remove the ring if there is need. It will change as you soul changes Severus."
"What do you mean?"
"If you and Harry brought you mate into the bond he would show up on the ring. Children might also. Ask to see Sal and Rick's. Rick's changed all the time. Sal's was full when they bonded. It got bigger with children. It became two rings with grandchildren. He made the second into a family ring. It's not often for eye color to show up in the stone. You must care for that." I nodded.
"I haven't been." He waved it away.
"The past is where it should be Severus. What makes us who we are is what we chose to do next. You weren't aware, nothing is wrong with your action. You will have to inform Harry of this vow." I let out a breath.
"Would you like to talk about it Severus?"
"My mate and his wife have a child. That child right now is in danger with the dark lord. I took a vow to protect him." He smiled. "They do not get along."
"Meaning less. This child is yours, no matter his blood. This makes the child Harry's. The vow is Harry's by magic. An elf will stop at nothing to protect the child with or without the vow. The dark lord though now sits in your family." He smirked. I blinked at him. Sal might be the first Slytherin Severus but I ticked death." He winked. Then waved to the door.
"I'm sure you've been missed." I nodded and got up. I walked out with that on my mind. I sat down next to Harry. He glanced at my hand and looked up at me with pure surprise. I raised my eye brow at him. He was still signing something to the goblin.
"That should be all for this meeting. Next week we'll met at my office." They got up and bowed. The goblin left.
"I love you Ray, we'll see you later. I have some things to do in my chamber." Miss Lovegood said. Harry kissed her check. She smiled at me. "Have a good day everyone." She walked and walked out of my chambers. Mister Longbottom let out a breath.
"She has been worried. I'll see you later." They hugged and Longbottom left after nodded to us. Harry sat down and made some more notes. He waved his hand and the table lost a plate.
"How are you pup?" Sirius asked when he was finished. Harry tucked his legs and feet under him. He nodded and looked at the painting.
"I'm Tzar Sal's grandson. Sal got bored with you lot." The young man said.
"Wouldn't you be both of their grandsons?" I asked. He nodded to me.
"Truthfully yes both are my grandfather's. Rick carried both my father and uncle. They both look the same since they are twins and it was a perfect mix of both. My father though acts like Sal and my uncle acts like Rick. That's how my family is Sal's and Rick's family is his." Tzar explained. "I am also the guardian to Harry's passageway." I didn't know that. I nodded to him. Harry started hissing to him. He nodded.
"He's find, his magic was low anyways. He went to sleep just shortly before he was woken, not giving him time to refill his core. His heath is fine."
"Poppy is worried about some damage." Harry nodded and hissed.
"She's going to deal with it. It keeps slipping his mind." Remus nodded and accepted it. Sirius looked at Harry.
"How has it been pup coming into yourself." Sirius asked. Harry nodded and hissed something.
"After coming to an understanding of who I was, has slowed the knowledge down. I have a lot of control over it. If there is a reason it will come to me while I sleep." Potter made a face and hissed something. "The mark has changed." Sirius sat up.
"What?" Harry held up his hands to clam Sirius down.
"It's grown a little. I spoke to Avon and she told me that it was normal. Her marking is what's shown on her forehead. As she learned about her past life it grow. It covers her face, neck and shoulders. After she knew everything about her past life it pulled in. There are times it will come forward." Sirius let out a breath.
"How has it grown?" I asked. He blinked and looked at me. Then gave Sirius and Remus a look. They gave one back. Harry hissed.
"It started on his lower stomach between his hips. It's grown around his hips, up to his shoulders and down his arms. Stopping at his elbows. While the queens is soft lines and details. His is thick. Against cream skin such as his, it stands out. The placement when it started bothered him." Tzar said.
"Why?" He looked me.
"It looks like a tattoo. Muggles have meanings of tattoo placements." Sirius told me. "While he has nothing against a tattoo the placement and what it looks like bothers him." I thought about it and couldn't see a reason it would bother him.
"To relive him Sirius showed Harry all his, that seems to bother him more." Remus said. I raised my eye brow.
"Mine were done with intent to magic not look." Sirius told me. I nodded and understood.
"I still don't see the problem." Harry hissed something. Tzar blinked. Harry signed and Tzar nodded.
"How do you know how to sign?" I asked.
"I don't, most paintings are charmed to understand all languages. He signs and the canvas translate. Parsley is different it was infused into the painting after they were painting. Neither of these paintings are mine. Sal sent me from the manor. Anyways it bothers Harry because it's a trap stamp. Whatever that means."
"Harlequin." I told him. He hissed something to Harry. Harry shrugged. "I hardly see where that would be though." I told him. He looked at me. Saw I meant it and smiled softly. "Can I see it?" He made a face.
"I would like to see how it's grown." Sirius told him. Harry let out a breath and stood up. He pulled his sweater off and I saw how skinny he was. Yes he was very toned, but still very skinny. He closed his eyes and made a sign with his hands. Slowly you could see the glamour wash away. His hair was long almost to his hips, it was still black put with a shin of red. His cheek bones were higher and stood out. His eyes were pointed up and glowed green. His eyes were small but you could see the points. His skin was healthier looking, almost like stone white. He still was very skinny. Then I saw the mark. It was breathtaking.
I really couldn't put my finger on what it should look like, that didn't lesson the beauty of it. It did though sit low on his hips, then followed them up to his back. He turned and showed us. It ran along his spin over his shoulders to his arms. Then I noticed his gosh bumps. I waved my wand at the fire place. He looked at it at once.
"Unless it gets colder then 65, there's a ward around the fire place keeping the heat from getting past. That keeps the chambers from getting to hot. I will take it down while I am in the room. I didn't even think to tell you. Brewing can get hot." I told him. He smiled at me. Then nodded and pulled his sweater on.
"He's normally a cold person." Traz said to Harry's hiss. I nodded.
"We have to get going cub, we'll talk in a few days." Harry nodded and hugged him. I did notice Remus smelled his hair. Sirius was next and they hugged longer. They flowed out.
"Call me if you need me little one." Tzar walked out of the panting. I raised my eye brow at Harry. He held up a finger and walked away. I followed him with my eyes. I wanted to speck with him. He came back and sat down and turned towards me. Then handed me a black potions. I took it and looked it over. I looked at him and saw he was biting his lip.
"What is this." He pointed to the label. I couldn't read it and looked at him. He pointed to his mouth and the point. I thought about it. I handed him the note book and pen. He nodded and wrote something down.
"It gives you the ability of Parsley, there are times where magic will make it permanent. If not it lasts a week." I looked at the potion. "This will give me Parsley?" He nodded. Then wrote something down.
"Not the magic unless it becomes permanent. Rick had to keep taking the potion." He nodded to me. I thought about it.
"How would I know it was permanent?" I asked him. He bit his lip and thought about it. Then wrote something down.
"We'll ask Sal, but I think you would or could cast in Parsley and you would know. Sal says your ears might pop or your mouth might be dry." I thought about it and took the potions. My want to speck was more than my need to test the potion. My mouth went dry. Harry handed me a glass of water. He tipped his head to the side watching me. Then bit his lip.
"Can you understand me?" He asked, his voice was soft. I nodded. "I've noticed you don't always know you're not specking English, just listen for the long ss. I couldn't speck it at first without a snake around. After sometime you get use to it. To me most the time Parsley just flows over me." I nodded to him.
"Understanding it is different than hearing the hissing." He shook his head.
"Riddle has a hard edge to his. Like nails on a chock board. Sal doesn't even understand why. It's should be soothing." I turned to the side after I nodded to him.
"Thank you, I've wanted to have the ability for many years." He nodded to me. "There are many things we should talk about Harry. Where would you wish to start?" He shook his head and waved to me.
"I don't understand what we need to talk about." I nodded to him.
"Why hasn't your ring changed?" I asked him when I saw it. He looked at it and shrugged.
"I guess we need to talk about something." He said. "I didn't agree or chose this. It's dishonorable to even think about forcing someone into a bond they have no idea for." He told me looking at the fire place.
"I'm not judging you." He nodded. "Harry." I said and he looked over at me. "We both agreed to the bonding. Neither of us chose the bonding. I don't fault you. I do accept you." He looked my face over and shook his head no.
"How do you expect me to believe you when I know you have a mate." That surprised me.
"I'll agree with you. It's hard to believe. Then I heard we were mated throw a mates bond. Magic Harry wouldn't have allowed it if we, we weren't mates. Not if one of us, but both of us are mates. Yes Harry I have a mate, but that has nothing to do with us. I'm not mixed blood Harry. But I accept having two mates. I also accept us. I know I can't change in a day, but I will try to prove it." He looked my face over. I watched him.
"Can I know who?" I smiled and nodded. His eyes grow.
"Lucuis is my mate." He looked away. "When Lucuis came of age he went throw his inheritances. He was already contacted to Narcissi. Before they were bonded she knew we were mates. But his family magic wouldn't allow him to brake the contact. We aren't bonded and we don't speck much time together. Draco and Narcissi know we're mates. That is all."
"Then why accept the bond?"
"Who am I Harry to reject fate. This is my chose. Either Lucuis will understand and agree or I'll spilt my time. We've never been close, nothing will change." I did notice his eyes were dim. I wonder why.
"P,"
"Severus." He glanced at me. Then nodded.
"Severus he tried to kill me not to mouths ago. We might be bonded but his claim predates mine. It's against nature to allow this." I turned his chin, to make him look at me.
"Lucuis wasn't at the mintery Harry." He didn't understand. "He sent someone in his place against the dark lords wishes. Rockwood took his place, he did to build up his place in the ranks. He blow the whole mission. From what I know he let you grab it and get away. Lucuis wouldn't have, as soon as you picked it up he would have taken it." He tipped his head and thought about it.
"He still doesn't like me Severus. I mean it, he really dose hate me."
"How he feels isn't an issues. He'll either at less be respectful towards you or stay away from you. This is my chose, now why won't you accept it?"
"As you said Severus it's hard to change overnight. I've known for more than two years you weren't my mate. I don't know if I can just accept it right now. Not that I want you to think I don't accept you Severus. You are my mate." I nodded to him.
"I understand Harry. Take your time if that's what you need. I never would have acted like I have if I knew it wasn't just a bonding." He nodded to me. "I am sorry for my actions this morning." He looked at me.
"You didn't do anything to me." I shook my head.
"I am the reason you drained your core. I wasn't aware of the mate bond. Nor that our magic was bonded already. Narcissi came to me this morning asking me to make a unbreakable vow to protect Draco. The dark lord is putting his anger out on Draco. Draco has a mission this school year and I will be helping him." Harry looked my face over.
"Draco has been ordered to kill Dumbledore." My eyes were wide. "Severus I am a high elf. This isn't going to be easy."
"Harry?" He brushed his hair behind his ears. "What do you mean?"
"Draco isn't marked yet. A week before school he'll be marked with the rest of the new recruits. He is the youngest person of this generation to be marked. I didn't understand the anger, now I do." I nodded and raised my eye brow. "Elf's are emotional beings. Emotions are what lead and drive us. I also feed off your emotions. This allows my race to create bonds family or friendship. Yes I am brought into the vow with you. By the elf in me is going to feed off your bond with Draco. I now understand why he's so close to you and you to him. But you have to understand I will treat him like a kit." I gave him a look.
"Kit?"
"Means child."
"Just like that?"
