I work early this morning early like normal and spend some time reading my potion journal for the month. At 7 I headed to the great hall for breakfast. During the summer the teachers that stayed around shared a small round table in the middle.
My paper showed up and I read it while I eat and enjoyed my coffee. It didn't take long for the rest of the staff to join me. We all have our own houses, but normally stay at school the first and last few weeks. Albus sat down next to me and took a drink of tea waiting for him.
"Minerva tells us Harry is staying the in castle during the summer." Filius asked Albus.
"I thought it was safer for now if he stayed." I noticed a few teachers nodded. "I would like the heads of houses to join me after our meal to talk about a few things." We all nodded to him.
Once he was finished eating we got up and followed him up to his office we sat around his desk.
"Again we are seeking a new DADA teacher. Severus you have the first chose to it if the job is what you wish to have?" I thought about it.
"I would prefer to stay with potions." He nodded to me.
"How would the four of you feel if Lucius Malfoy took the place." That surprised everyone. "Knowing him and his family are leaving the dark side."
"He is worthy." Minerva said and we nodded.
"How would you feel if I brought on a magical custom's class." That surprised everything, but they nodded. "It would be a core class for all 7 years. From teaching our world to the government."
"I believe you will be giving it to Narcissi?" Pomona asked. Dumbledore nodded.
"I am also thinking about replacing Cuthbert. He can stay on as a tutor."
"Finely Albus, he's become dreadful." Minerva said. "But who are you thinking about replacing him with." He let out a breath.
"I was thinking about asking Remus to return. The board with Lucius help will allow it. Having more protection at school also will be needed." He looked at me. I nodded and he was relieved. "My finely order of business is wondering if it is time to reinstate apprenticeships." That surprised us.
"Albus?" Minerva asked.
"I will allow each teach to take up to three students on. But only one a year. It will free up some of our time while allowing students to advance their studies. A student can be taken on in 6th year. Take over younger classes in 7th year and full classes in their 3th year."
"I believe it's time." I said and everyone looked at me. Then nodded.
"The chore of student is up to you. But I will bring up to light during the fest. That is all." We nodded and left. I returned to my room and sent off the potion. I looked throw my mail and started on a new order. Nip's made sure I eat lunch and stopped for dinner.
Lucius, Narcissi joined us for dinner. Potter again was a no show. But Lucius and Narcissi looked relived. I invited them down to my chambers for a drink. They informed me they would be moving into a room on the fourth floor this week and starting on the lesson plans. Their class rooms were on the same floor.
They would each have at less 14 class a week. They had a lot to do. I agreed to help.
It three days to change their chambers to what they needed and wanted. Along with packing and unpacking them. Draco understood but wasn't pleased. When he learned he wasn't stuck here he was at Blaine's the next second. I wasn't the only one who noticed Potter was never seen.
In four days I was starting to get a little worried even. Today made the fifth. He didn't show up for breakfast or lunch. I headed up to Albus office after lunch.
"Come in my boy." Dumbledore said before I could knock. I walked in and noticed he was working on some paperwork. I sat down next to the fire and folded my legs.
"What can I do for you Severus?" He asked me and folded his arms over his papers.
"Have you noticed something missing Albus." He looked at me over his glasses.
"As in what?"
"You're missing a brat." He smiled and dropped his hands.
"Dobby would have informed me if there was a reason to be concerned. Besides that he's in the dungeons which are under your command." I glared at him. "If you feel the need to check on him go right ahead Severus."
"He is not in my house."
"No matter. You are the only one who has become worried."
"The child has not been seen in 5 days." He waved his hand.
"But he's not been getting into trouble." I sat up. He looked at me over his glasses. "I believe the castle is still standing." I glared at him.
"Fine I'll do your job old man." I stormed out. I headed down stairs to the dungeons. I knocked on the painting guardian that was down the hall from my own. The second knock it pushed forward. I noticed nothing was in the painting even. I pushed it open and walked inside.
I stopped short when I saw stacks of books on anything flat. A fire was going along with a window open. I looked around and saw the bedroom door open and didn't seem touched. Then saw the bathroom clean but has been in use. The kitchen and dining area were clean besides a plate of cookies.
The living room besides the books was empty. I moved around and saw his truck open behind the couch. Then noticed the fire again. There was a pile of blankets. Dobby walked out of the shadows.
"Why is Potion master visiting?" He asked me.
"The child has not been seen." He didn't like that.
"Harry Potter sleeps during the day. Gets much more sleep this way. At less four hours." He nodded.
"What was he getting during the night?" I asked the elf.
"None." I pinched my nose and let out a breath. I pulled out my wand. "What is Potion master doing?" The elf asked me.
"Putting Potter in bed." He shook his head no.
"Harry Potter sleeps there. He does not like the bedroom." I put the wand away. I waved my hand at the room.
"This?"
"His school books along with books from the library. Harry Potter reads lots." The little elf told me as a fact. I moved forward and glanced at the titles of the books. I moved around the room and saw they were in stacks on subjects.
"He needs to make it to two meals." I told the elf. He shook his head.
"He does not eat what us elf's make. Only what he cooks himself." I raised my eyebrow. I moved into the kitchen and saw it was very clean. I checked to make sure there was food. I let out a breath and moved over and sat down next to the fire. I glanced at the pile of blankets.
"Oh I wondered who was making late night tips to the library." Dumbledore said walking in. The blankets moved. He came over and sat down next to me.
"How is that following the rules?" I asked.
"I asked him to behave not follow the school rules." I thought about it and nodded. "He has." I lifted a book and showed him the title.
"Restricted section."
"Isn't locked in the summer." He waved his hand. "How's your summer work coming along dear." Dumbledore asked.
"Almost done with it. The subjects closet to the door are finished and read." Potter said from under the blankets.
"You haven't seen Poppy yet Harry."
"I've been working toward it." Albus let out a breath.
"Let's go see her before dinner. I'm sure everything is fine."
"Let's not. " Dumbledore waved his hand and Poppy walked in. She tried to shut the door, but it didn't shut all the way. We looked at it.
"Without a guardian the door won't shut. The guardian knows when it's needed." Potter said. That surprised us.
"Would you prefer the door open Harry?" Poppy asked softly. He didn't answer and she opened a little more. "Albus is quite worried about you Harry, seems you aren't sleeping to well. I can help?"
"As you know I dislike potions and their effects." He still hasn't come out of the blankets.
"Another way then?" She said. She sat down on the couch. "You're old enough to have a tip before bed. It will relax you and allow you to sleep longer. I do know Albus will have one every once in a while. Keeps sherry around just for that use. I prefer wine though."
"I'll think about it." He told her.
"Calming aspects. I know your grandfather smoked. Along with Minerva. They got themselves in more than enough trouble when they started the habit so young. Normally you're a little older to pick up the habit, but it helps most people. Doesn't have the health issues it dose with muggles."
"Smoking what?" Potter asked.
"Tobacco. Drugs are normally for other reasons. We could try both and see if they work. I know your mother preferred whiskey while your father butter beer."
"Maybe." Was all he said.
"Can I look you over Harry." I heard him let out a breath. He rolled over and pushed the blankets aside.
"I really just got to sleep." He told us. He was wearing a hoodie covering his head. He got up and wearing matching sweets and socks. He walked into the kitchen.
"We've missed you at meals." She said to his back.
"Don't see a reason for the elf's to do what I can do on my own." He came back a few minutes later with a glass of water half gone. Walked into the bathroom grabbed some things and handed them over to her.
"I keep on changing the mixture. Take them in a cocktail though. Never the same. I've worked up to at less two of each. I started out with one only then one of two, one of three and so on." She read the labels and nodded.
"Are you following Healer Davies recommendations with them?" He sat down on the couch. But sat his glass down next to the bottles and nodded.
"If I pass 12 a day, they either have to be changed or review the amount. Pain." He said and moved a bottle. "Headaches or migraines." He moved another next to it. "Anti aflmotry." He moved the last in to the end. She nodded.
"Sometimes muggle drugs work just as well. You can only take so many potions a day. You also build a tolerance to them." He nodded. "The last what's it use?" She asked him.
"Keeping the swelling down." She nodded.
"These are just for your link?" He took a drink and nodded.
"I only saw the healers for the link. Don't see a reason to see one for anything else, since there isn't reason to." Albus shook his head to Poppy.
"We'll let me check you out and if you agree I'll get these refilled for you. I don't like you taking as much. We'll review them when you need a refill. Most likely I'll up the dose." His hand hug between his legs. "I have never taken no for an answer young man." She said with a smile. He nodded after taking a moment.
"Very well go ahead." She pulled out her wand and started taking scans.
"I saw you after the battle at the minister." He nodded. She glanced at Albus and started a whole new scan. A full death scan.
"That was not needed." He said in a cold voice.
"Seems I've never got around to getting your medical history. I'm doing vacations this year." She tapped the table once she was finished and a scroll started to come out printing out.
"I look forward to them." She laughed softly.
"Yes you also seem to skip out of them." He shook his head.
"Are you concerned about anything Poppy?" Albus asked softly.
"Oh some nerve damage I most have over looked from the battle." She said carelessly, but her face showed something different. I was surprised at the length the scroll was getting. So were they. "It seems your file will get bigger Harry." He shook his head.
"Sorry to tell you Poppy, I won't allow you to keep that." She was taken aback by what he said. "Healer Davis doesn't even have a file on me. The goblin Healer is another story all together. If I can't trust the bank I should move my gold."
"Do you not trust the school Harry?" She asked him.
"Against prey eyes no." She thought about it and nodded.
"Then I'll destroy it once I'm finished." He nodded.
"That is your chose." She smiled at him. I was getting a headache and worried. My scans don't even take this long. After a few more minutes Potter let out a breath.
"My dear?" Albus asked.
"The link is more open then I let on. Or has been since the battle. Since Tom posted me. I get an echo in so many words." He said.
"An echo of what Harry?" Albus asked.
"Castings." Albus and Poppy's eyes grow. "That is why I went to see a mind healer. Why Davis sent me to the goblin healer. There is no reason for it and no reason to be concerned. Nothing lasts long." He told the run.
"What spells?" I asked.
"I feel the spells he casts upon another that you can feel." He answered me. I looked at Albus and he was worried.
"But you won't close the link?" He asked and was upset.
"There's one way to close it. That will take time or someone else has to step forward. I still do not believe that I have to be the caster." Albus nodded and let out a breath.
"How bad has it got Harry?"
"High emotions still pull me in. I don't have to be asleep any longer. I can push into his mind if I'm clam or when my emotions perk." He told us.
"Pix one of my black box please." Poppy asked and an elf popped in a second latter with a black box. Poppy put it in front of Harry. He opened it. I saw roll of smokes along with a lighter.
"No more than 20 a day. Pix will refill it whenever you call or at a time each day. If they are harsh on your body, I can give you something softer to smoke. If they aren't enough I can give you something more. Do you need me to explain?" Potter thought about it. Then took one, light it and inhaled. On the second inhale his shoulders relaxed.
"Always have a window open or be outside. Smoking in the hallways isn't allowed unless you're in front of a window. If a teacher asked, just show the case and they will leave it be. They only allow you to smoke during class." She explained and he nodded.
"Do you wish to let us know anything else my dear son?" Albus asked Potter softly. Potter ash the smoke in an ash tray Dobby bought over.
"You know the rest." He told us, but I think he was talking to Albus. "That should make up for the rest." Poppy looked at Albus.
"Know what?" Poppy asked. Albus just looked at Potter. Potter just pointed to the scroll that was finished printing. She picked it up and started reading it. She shook her head a few times. Then covered her mouth with her hand. She dropped the scroll on the table and lifted the back of his hoodie. She gasped.
"Albus Dumbledore." She glared at him.
"This is the reason Harry will be staying at school during brakes." She fixed Potters Hoodie and went back to the scan. She shook her head a few more times while she was reading.
"To the hospital wing." She got up and walked to the door. It snapped shut before she got to it.
"I would prefer to stay here." Potter told her. She wiped around. "You can leave if that is what you want. But myself along with the scan will stay here." As she walked away from the door it opened.
"Harry, are you claustrophobic?" She asked him softly.
"I could very well be." She nodded and sat down. She finished reading and rolled it up.
"Any other fears?"
"Water," That surprised us. "I never learned how to swim. So I should say deep water. I prefer a bath to a shower. I enjoy rain showers." She nodded and understood.
"Darkness?" He shook his head. "Cold?"
"I don't like it, but can live with being cold. Same with heat." She smiled.
"Any pain in your bones or joints?" She asked him. He ash his smoke.
"Not pain, a ache here and there." He told her.
"Internal pain?"
"Besides my head no."
"Can you see now?" She asked him. He nodded to her.
"Healer Davis caught that and fixed my eye slight, before no." She nodded.
"Can you count a few, half or all your ribs?" That got me sitting up. "From the side, back and front."
"I never look backwards. Half the other way at less I think so. Ribs start at your neck. My arms in the way I think." She nodded.
"Open wounds? You have an infection?" He nodded. "Welts?" He nodded. "Did bounties be passed?"
"If I think I understand what you're asking no. Touching was is an issue." She was relived.
Bruising, swelling." He nodded. I was getting a very bad feeling about what was being said. I looked at Albus. He looked sad and nodded to me. I thought about it. Then waved my hand and removed his hoodie. My eyes went wide. Only years of control kept me from gasping.
What Potter was hiding under his hoodie was. I don't even have words. Most his torso was red from either welts or cuts. Then the number of scars. Then the bruising, it was going down but still very noticeable. That all could be taken care of.
What worried me was how skinny he was. He had no body fat. Skin and bones really. I was surprised to see muscles though. He was very well formed out. If he wasn't so skinny it would be even more impressive. He took the last drag of his smoke and I saw a scar on the back of his hand. I sat forward and took his hand when he was done putting the smoke out.
He looked up at me throw his latches and hair. I looked the scar over and looked at him.
"When did this happen?" I asked him.
"Not how or why?" He asked me in return. I held his eyes and raised my eye brow. "Last year."
"By?" That surprised him. He looked around at each person.
"You all really don't know?" We didn't say anything. "The toad used a blood quill. We all thought you knew."
"We, Harry who is we?" Albus asked.
"Pretty much every Lion, a few Puffs and Raven's. She liked the snakes too much. When McGonagall had the show down with her on the stairs that's what we all thought she was talking about." Albus shook his head no.
"Personal rooms I don't have the ability to be aware of. That is why most teachers will do there diction in their class rooms. We weren't aware my dear. We wouldn't have allowed it. If you are willing to give me the memory I will take care of it. Blood quills are band objects. They are control objects also. Besides the goblins, only heads of family can have one. Besides in the minister. It is illegal to use on a underage child. To use it for anything more than signing your name on a document you will get into large amount of trouble."
"How large?" I asked him.
"A year for every act. Fudge won't be able to protect her from this." I thought about it and nodded. This wouldn't be able to be brushed aside.
"Azkaban isn't really a jail any longer without it being in our control." He said in a soft tone.
"It's not clammily known but this is not our only jail. I've been pushing to use the other two. We could always ask another nation to imprison her." Albus told him. "I will also check the detection records. I will be owing each student that had detection with her to see if they held the same fate and to come forward also." Potter nodded.
"Do you want one memory or all of them." He asked Albus.
"For now, just one. If needed we might need more." Potter nodded and got up. He walked around the couch to his trunk. He came back and put a vile on the table. It was filled with a memory.
"Healer Davis said it would be a good idea to clean my mind or whatever. Since it's hard for me to use my mind escape I did it this way." He waved to the vile.
"Hard as in you can locate it or hard as in your mind doesn't react?" I asked him. He thought about it.
"I don't have an answer." I nodded. Albus nodded and put the memory in his robe pocket.
"Is there any self-harm." Poppy asked when she knew we were done. We looked at her. Potter even looked at her.
"I don't understand." He said.
"In some cases of abuse no matter the kind, the victim learns that pain is a release. From either the world, pain or emotions. Self-harm can be as little as picking at your nails to as big as trying to kill yourself."
"In that case no, if I get upset I'll kick or hit something." She smiled at him.
"That Harry is quite normal. Throwing things, is also added to that case. Albus likes throwing papers around when he gets stressed. It's also very healthy and most the time the safest. Though you can hurt yourself. But that's just marked down as mistake or stupid action." He nodded. She took his arm and pointed to a scar. "This is why I ask."
"You treated it at the end of 4th year." She thought about it and nodded. She was relived. She forgot though and no one was bothered. She pointed to his other wrist. He looked at it.
"Burn not cut." She nodded.
"That type is common with muggle born. How much of this is caused by the link." He took a breath and slowly throw out his body a few things disappeared. She looked him over and nodded.
"I'm going to be putting you on a strict potion regain." I pulled out a pen from my pocket and the notebook that was with it. I opened it and wrote Potter's name down on a sheet. "The first will be in a cocktail. It's a booster potion. All it does is allows your body to take in the full amount of potion. Then a very strong nurturance potion. The last is very much like bone growth. But it works slowly and starts inside your bones and works out to your muscles. Take these three at night or before you go to sleep. I'll bring down a bottle of whiskey with a glass. One glass before you try and sleep. If you're not getting 6 hours a day I will put you on a light sleeping potion. Next will be a normal nurturance potion. Take three times a day before you eat. Along with that will be a stomach calming potion. It will allow you to eat without being or felling sick. To start off I'm giving you a high grade infection potion. It will clear your body of any toxins. I will put you in a magical sleep for that one. It's hard on the body. An hour after that has started to work I'll spell a stomach potion into your stomach to heal any damage that's there. You do have a usurer, this will remove it. While you're sleeping I'll put a cream on your three times that will heal the skin deep damage. Really I'm going to bath you in it. In a week if the scan I do on your head isn't better I'll bring in Healer Davis. You have some brain damage. It's very easy to fix. From what I believe it's never damage. Most likely caused by when Riddle posited you and you pushed him out. Or how many times you hit your head." He nodded.
"I do have a nerve potion." I said. She shook her head.
"He can't take it while taking the other potion. I would have to wait a week to start him on that. If the damage is still there, we'll add it." I nodded, Potter looked at his watch.
"You have around 6 hours." She looked at me. I held my list out to Nip and she went to get the list of potions. She came back with a bag. I line them up and nodded to her. Poppy handed a potion to Harry. He looked it over and took it. She got up and got him laying down.
As soon as he was laying down she sleep him asleep.
"Anything we should be concern about Poppy?" Albus asked softly.
"Everything is surprising, but nothing to be concerned about. I should be able to fix all the damage. He will gain the weight he needs to be healthy. But most likely he'll always be small. I can remove at less half the scaring. Internally the damage will be fixed. Though he is going to be swore and in pain for at less the next week. Moving at all will be hard on him."
"Dobby will take care of Harry Potter." The little elf said. She nodded to him.
"The pills?" I asked.
"Smart, a pain potion works throw out the whole body. These only work on the mental aspect of pain. He gets very active during the time he's in the link. That's why the third. The pill for his headache is just that. There is a large amount of brain damage. I should be able to fix it."
"What kind?" Dumbledore asked.
"Nerves." He nodded. There was to many reasons why he would have that damage.
"How long has the abuse been going on?" I asked softly.
"Since he was a child." She told me. I nodded.
"I'll teach him mind magic." I told Dumbledore. He was surprised but nodded to me. I would try it another way this time. Maybe by doing he'll learn how.
"What is the worst?" Albus asked.
"Bone damage." She said softly. She shook her head. I thought about it and got up. "Severus." She said in surprise. I walked into my room and my lab. I looked throw all my potions and grabbed one. I walked back into Potter's room. I did see the guardian though and it was a snake. I handed the potion towards her.
"I've been working on a new bone growth. This will only work on bones. It's very much like the bone growth now. But you don't have to remove the bone. It will work in 24 hours. It will react to any bone and fix it."
"How?"
"It will attach the bond damage and regrow it. It will only fix bones that are or have been damaged. Nothing else. You'll still need the other potion. I didn't like having to regrow my ribs." She nodded. Then spelled the potion into him.
We watched her spell the cream over him and put the stomach potion in him. You could already see the effect of the cleaning potion. She spelled him clean and covered him in cream again.
"Do you trust Healer Davis?" Albus asked her. She nodded.
"He is the best in his field, Healer Able was his master. He won't push his patients though. He will only heal what they want healed." He nodded.
"He is the best Albus." He nodded. We watched Potter while Poppy watched him.
"Would everyone like dinner?" Dobby asked. Albus nodded to him. He brought us each a plate and cup. We eat slowly and sat in the peace watching Potter. I was beating myself up over not knowing what was going on. I pride myself on always knowing when a student was abused.
"He hide this from all of us my boy. Maybe it's time we all get to know who Harry really is." Albus said. "I smoked at his age also Poppy, emotional magic is the worst kind to have." He smiled a little.
"Unless you have a release." I smirked. He nodded to me.
"Maybe we can teach him how to trust someone." He said and let out a breath. I nodded to him. Trust issues come from abuse. Along with having audit issues.
"Having him around us while school is out will also be good for him. He'll stop seeing us as teachers. Allowing him to interact with us on his level. We also need to fix other damage was done throw the abuse and our blindness."
"Severus." Poppy said.
"His poor school skills could have been from not learning how to handle classes. Guiding him or giving him the ability to learn on his own we can do. As for his poor writing. It could be because of a quill. Young children are given a special quill to learn how to write with them. Or we could see if he can write with a clarify pen. His poor grades but high test scores could be because of being punished because he was doing better than his cousin. We also need to teach him having and dealing with emotions is healthy." She was relived.
"Bottling them up is dangerous." She nodded to herself.
"He'll learn trust by allowing someone to know him and knowing them back. How could he trust someone when they know nothing about him?" Albus told us.
"His magic?" I asked him.
"Unknowingly I'm sure he as a boy put a block on his core. After the battle while we were talking he broke that block. He's going to be need to be taught how to find his core. Control and wand less magic. He is very good at bring his magic forward. But right now he's not doing wand less magic he's using wish magic. For a young adult to still be able to use it and not be taught he is special. We lose the ability as we grow out of childhood. He might not know that he is still using it or what he is using." I nodded.
"Using pure magic like that is harmful." He nodded.
"Yes, we don't have long till he needs to know his own bounds. I should have a few books on it." Albus said as he played with his beard.
"Wish magic?" Poppy asked.
"Accidental magic is also called wish magic. It is also called mind casting and pure magic. That is what we used before wands and staffs. It goes hand in hand with emotion magic. Normally a person has to be in high emotions to use it. It takes great control to control your emotions and this magic. Or a very strong core to learn it as an adult. When we all thought he was losing control of his magic, it was really his emotions and subsection coming together. It took Severus quite a few years to learn control. I only have touched the surface. For Harry to show this much control already we are very lucky and he is very powerful."
"How do you know it's not wand less?" She asked us.
"You would feel the magic build up and the spell being cast my dear. His magic reacts to his will." She nodded.
"Mine unlike his though Poppy is tainted in so many words. Pure magic is very much on intent. Every time Potter's magic reacts it's never harmed a person. That is because his intent is pure. I learned to control mine for that reason. Only at self-risk or very high emotions will I loss control. I also keep it hidden incase it's needed." She nodded.
"We will teach him." Albus told her.
"No wonder you down calming potions." She smirked. He nodded. Then we noticed he looked off to the side. "Albus?"
"No worries dear, Fawn just returned with Remus letter. I believe trying to get the werewolf on our side by sending a message won't work. They want action. Taking care of Umbridge might help our side. Rights will also help. I also need to right a wrong with Harry and getting the last of his family hurt will not help. I've asked him to return and teach history." She nodded.
"He is safer here with family." She nodded.
"I have been working on the potion." I said softly. "Trying to put a pain relief in it. Though Moody is a pack animal, I don't know a way around that." I told them.
"Show of good cause maybe you can teach Harry to be an animus." He told me. I thought about it and nodded. I wouldn't be against helping him learn. "Besides that, being in a clam and trusting area will help both parties. They are getting worse the longer they stay with the packs."
"I'll have a look when Remus gets here."
"You're going to go on the attach now aren't you." I asked Albus. He rubbed his bread and thought about his answer.
"I've had a lot to think about. Removing Fudge from office will only help our side. I'm pushing for Bones." I nodded. We all noticed Harry thence up at once.
"He's magical asleep." Poppy said. Albus nodded. Five minutes later Potter sat up, we'll more he snapped up. His eyes were wide. He took a breath and rubbed his eyes.
"My dear?" He shook his head.
"Just planning. But he has a very good feeling about these plans." He leaned back again the couch and closed his eyes. "Nothing is put in the works yet. He does want to replace Fudge with a copy."
"No matter Fudge will retire with in the week. I'm pushing Bones to replace him." Potter opened his eyes.
"That name, who is he?" He asked. That surprised us.
"Madam Bones is head of the Authors. She's also Susan's Aunt." Albus told him. He sat forward and lead against his knees.
"Then tell her she's going to be attached." He waved to the couch and Dobby bought a case over to him and sat it on the table. It had ruin's drawn on it. Potter opened it and I saw memory vial's. A lot of them. He turned it. "Black rims are all Tom's memories. Meetings, planning and attaches. But I've also been able to dig throw his memories. They should help."
"What memories?" I asked him.
"What he's learned is the easiest. There always on the surface. Most are pretty much past my grasp. Most I wasn't even looking for. That's why I removed them. There is two vile that are tied together on the dark mark. Again it's over my head. But I thought it would help somehow." I nodded to him. "But what I was looking for was why he didn't die. How he was able to stay in spirit form. He doesn't even know. But he's been looking into it. It has something to do with the protection my mother gave me. The killing curse works by removing the soul. Since it bounced off me, it changed. He thinks it then turned into a different spell. It killed his body but allowed his soul or spirit to be free. I don't fully understand. Then I looked for what he was really after. He wants something that he can't have." Potter shook his head.
"Harry my dear?" Dumbledore said.
"He wants world donation." He said softly. That surprised us. "At first he wanted only to rule the magical world. His return his sights are higher. He wants to be a god, a world king ruler." He shook his head. Then closed the box and put a ring on the top.
"I won't allow it." He said and I felt the power in his voice. "The world won't allow it. He might be able to take Britain, but pasted that he doesn't even have an idea what he's up against." Dumbledore moved forward and took the ring. He looked it over, his eyes went wide and he looked at Potter.
"Harry?" Poppy got him to light up a smoke. He let out a breath.
"The Prevell family is the last rulers of Atlantic. They were the last Atlantes really. They ruled over the magical world for many years afterwards. Then there was a world war. Each race wanted their own government. The family fall. One line was left and went into hiding. The blood line ends with me." Potter said softly.
"You, throw out all this time will come forward Harry?" Albus asked.
"Each head has taken their place. We each ware the ring Albus. I have no reason to come forward because I have no need to be prince or king."
"But will you bring forward your title?" Albus asked. Harry looked up. "I promise to stand by you." Albus said and put the ring back down on the box.
"What are you asking?"
"First explain how you were able to take up your family title before you are of age pleased." I asked. He smirked.
"I became an adult in the eyes of magic and the minister when I showed up to the first task. Only an adult could have entered into the contact." I nodded and understood.
"We would become an unbeatable team Harry. We could turn this war upside down." Albus said softly. Harry pointed to the ring.
"The only problem Albus with your idea is to take hold of my family title purely and publicly I have to be neutral. I cannot side with the light or dark. I can only side with the people." Albus nodded.
"I would not ask you to choose." Albus said. "I've asked enough already. A king, a true king is only for the people and to the people. All people. Yes, you have a destiny, the fates gave us a prince to protect us. I will take up the war till you are able and ready."
"What are you asking then?" I asked him.
"To help me fix the world. I am light Harry and have that outlook. I can help guild you for the light. You can pick a member of the dark to do the same. I have trusted Severus for years to give me his input for that reason. I pulled away from polities for that reason, having a light nation is wrong. Magic needs like and dark. The IWC won't take part in this nation for that reason. We are equal parts light, dark and gray. You have to know though Harry, whether or not your family is our rulers and your voice will be heard." He dropped his head and thought about it.
"He's still a child Albus." Poppy said.
"This though will put me out of the fighting." Harry said. She was surprised and Albus nodded. "Giving me time till I'm ready and putting the fight on my terms. Everyone will know I'm here Albus." Harry said.
"You have claim to the school, it is more your right then any teacher." Potter made a face. "I do know my history."
"What are your thoughts." Potter asked.
"Remus is just in danger. I want him closer to home to help when needed. We could get to wolfs on our side by doing what they have been promised and want. Rights. But they will also notice us more when we remove Umbridge from power. She has made there life hard. She has made any half-blood's life hard. I'm going to under mind Tom at every corner." Potter smirked.
"It seems you've had enough sitting back watching the game play out." He ash his smoke. "Get Bones aware or safe and I'll come forward." Albus looked at Harry over his glasses.
"You have till morning if I'm right. There's a Wizmont meeting tomorrow at 9. I though do not have proper clothes." He said and put his ring on.
"You should be moving around for at less a week." Poppy said. Potter pointed to the first pill bottle.
"I have dress robes that change to size." I told him. He was surprised and nodded.
"Then I believe I have a matter to take care of." Albus smirked and walked out.
"Lucius is in the castle." Potter called after him.
"You are my worse patient. Go shower Harry." He got up and walked into the bathroom. She huffed at him. I did notice he didn't shut the door. She did also. "Get him to take these three when he's out and eat something at less. He's in your hands." She gave me a look and left.
I heard the shower turn on and asked Nix to bring my green set of dress clothes. She returned with them and sat them on the coffee table. They were very nice and would be enough. I wear them once.
"Is there a story behind them?" I looked over and saw Potter leaning against the bathroom doorway.
"They were a gift, for becoming a Potion Master. I wore them to dinner. They were a gift from your mother."
"I can't." He said and I gave him a look.
"I'm not giving them to you. But they will do for tomorrow. I'm sure your wardroom will be fill shortly with your own. It takes at less a day to make dress robes."
"Thank you." He said softly. I nodded.
"Dose your dress clothes still fit?" He looked at his trunk and nodded. "Wear that under, without the tie. The first robe has three button's that close on your waist. The second lays over. There is a vest that sits under them." He nodded. I waved my hand and his sweater was back. He smiled and came over and sat down.
I pointed out the potions and he took them.
"Poppy wants you to eat." He made a face and got up. I watched him put together something to eat and he munched. "Sleep?" He shook his head.
"Then I will leave you in peace." He watched me leave. I left the door cracked a little and returned to my own chambers. I had a glass of whiskey and headed to bed.
