Harry was looking forward to the school year as he and Draco with the twins got on the train. The only disappointing part was it was George' senior year. He had Weasleys at school since he was five. He would still have Ginny and the thorn Ron he guessed but he had never been as close. He would be loosing his boyfriend and his twin. His friends had thought it a bit odd he dated someone he once considered family. But the twins were so close to him in age they had always been more like some of his best friends, then brothers like the older three. He decided he needed to find a way of keeping his boyfriend close. It had worked with Charlie.

George noticed he was lost in his thoughts. "What are you thinking about? You should be excited. We finally have a normal school year ahead of us for once."

Harry sighed. "I was thinking of what I will do for two years without you when you graduate. I guess I will have to start looking for a new boyfriend."

Nipping Harry on the end of the nose George reminded him that it might not be his brothers but his mother who hexed Harry if he continued such talk. Harry was laughing but he missed a secret smile between the twins. There were rumours that Zonko's was going out of business and they were thinking by the time that they graduated they would have enough money saved up to buy it. And the George would be nice and close and could come to the school to visit all of the time. But they would not tell Harry until they knew their plan would work. There were also rumours that Madam Hooch was looking to retire soon.

Draco looked across at them. "Maybe I should go gay and start snogging your twin over here, and show you two how stomach churning you have become."

Harry through a candy wrapper at his cousin. "I think that Alicia might have something to say about that. Besides I don't think you're Fred's type anyways."

Though he assured Draco if he was into guys he would likely find him very attractive, Fred reminded him there were two gay Weasleys and neither of them were him. They started talk on trying to set him up. No Gryffindors their age. They knew Hermione still was into Viktor ad Harry was excited to hear his old friend had accepted a job working for the ministry here and planned on coming weekends to see her. He had met her parents that summer as he had promised. But there were plenty of girls who were not all gossip mongers and they were sure to find Draco someone to go out with. Draco groaned and asked how he had suddenly become a dating charity case.

Harry shrugged. "You could always ask Susan out again. The two of you had a good time at the ball. She is smart ad pretty I guess for a girl."

Draco snorted. "I don't think I will take your opinion on girls little brother. But you're right she was fun. I guess it could not hurt to ask."

Fred snorted as Alicia was coming in to join them with Katie. "Unless she decides she does not like your joke and feeds you to a pack of Hipogriffs."

Elbowing her boyfriend and hearing what they were talking about Alicia decided to add her two knuts and soon Draco was ready to head for the hill. Harry decided to leave his boyfriend for a bit and join Draco in finding some of their friends who were their age. They found Neville sitting with Luna and Ginny as well as Hermione, Seamus and Dean. Harry remembered something he got in a letter from Viktor.

He nudged his way in between Hermione and Dean. "I promised Viktor I would not let another guy even near you since he is not around to watch."

Draco laughed ad agreed. "The two of us are under very strict orders from your boyfriend. We are to lock you up in your prefect room if you don't listen."

Both Hermione and Harry had been named fifth year prefects and while unlike the senior prefects they did not have their own bathroom they did have their own bedroom. Harry had heard no end of it from his prank loving boyfriend. He had reminded George he would have to be careful for Harry could take point ad give detentions to him. George reminded him it would only hurt his own house ad George would just withhold affection until he smartened up.

Hermione did not look pleased. "He is also not around to protect you two anymore. You can tell that fried of yours that next time you write him."

Harry kissed her on the cheek. "He also asked me to give you that especially if you reacted the way you just did. You have my old friend quite enamoured."

Hermione blushed a bit at that but the guys and Luna came to her rescue and reminded Harry if anyone was enamoured and blush worthy it was Harry ad his boyfriend who mad them all quite sick sometimes with their public shows of affection. They had nothing wrong with them being gay. They would have thought the same if one was female. It was the fact that the last few months of the school year ad that summer when they saw them, they could not keep their hands off of each other. They were happy for their friend though and thought he had definitely nagged one of the coolest seniors at school.

Harry was a bit surprised when an owl arrived at the window and the letter they retrieved from it came from the headmaster. Harry took the letter a bit confused and he opened it up and started reading it.

Draco tried to look over his shoulder and finally asked. "What does it say?"

Harry shrugged. "The headmaster has asked that I come and see him after the feast before I had to the dorms. I guess Hermione you'll have to walk the first years."

Though Hermione did not mind and she got into the talk of the rules and all the extra hobs they would have this year Harry shared a look with Draco. They both knew that Harry's dad and godfathers were not going to like this one bit. Harry did no like it either ad he was reminded quite clearly why he and his father had not spent a moment of the summer at school. His godfathers and the kids had spent the summer at home as well so he had not needed to come here to see them.

Draco turned to him as they headed back for the twins. "Are young going to go to the meeting? I am sure your father would be able to get you out of it."

Harry shook his head. "We do not want the headmaster to be suspicious of us and there is no good reason I should not go. I will be fine, I promise you."

He had been taught occulemency since he was five by his dad and there was no way the headmaster could get in his mind. He would just need to be on guard about what he might say and what he might be convinced to eat or drink there. There was no doubt in either of their minds that the headmaster had not given up on his strange interest in Harry. There were times he thought it might have been safer if his father sent him to Durmstang or Beauxbautons as he often threatened but Harry could never lave his dad and godfathers, his brother and sister, the Malfoys and George. There was no way he would leave. He would just need to be careful.

It seems his dad had heard ad he intercepted Harry before the Great Hall. He handed his son a potion for any kind of potions and reminded his son to be on guard. He agreed with Harry that there was no safe way for him to get out of meeting with the headmaster without raising suspicions. Harry had no idea what was going on ad his mind was else where during dinner. George and Draco tried to distract him from his thoughts and get him eating but they were not having much luck with it. They got him to eat some for they reminded him that they were not supposed to be worrying any of those who did not know and Harry not eating was a bad sign.

Charlie came up to him after the ice cream was done. "The headmaster asked me to bring you to him Harry. He is waiting in his office for you."

Harry leaned over and kissed George. "Wait for me in the common room and I will tell you how it went when I get back."

George assured his boyfriend that he would be waiting up. Harry followed his older brother out of the hall. Since most were there he noticed a number of looks. It was especially odd for Harry was a prefect. He should have been with the other prefects of his house escorting the first years. The headmaster seemed to have forgotten. Or more likely he did not care. Harry walked with his brother and knew Charlie was thinking and likely worrying about the same thing. Charlie had known about Harry's powers for a few years, since before Harry started school. He had not been told till he became a Professor unlike Bill who had known since he was five. But he had always had his suspicions about Harry's power and he had known from day one that the headmaster was not to be trusted around Harry. He and Bill had made a point of keeping Harry from him at any costs and had even enlisted the help of their house and later their brother even when no one else understood what was going on. George was still the only brother other then them who knew. Even Fred had no idea.

Charlie said the password and had to leave him there. "I will be back to collect you and take you to your tower. Please be careful little brother."

Harry nodded. "I will. Dad gave me something to drink earlier. I promised him and now you, I will be on guard as always around that ma. I promise you that."

He headed up into the headmaster's office and he was surprised to find not only the headmaster there but Remus as well as some man he had never met before. His godfather definitely was not looking all that happy at the moment though he was trying to hide it. Harry assumed that he was hiding it. He was just good at knowing how his Uncle Moony was feeling at any point. They had always been able to read each other quite well.

Albus motioned for him to sit. "Harry I must say we were quite impressed with your class marks this past year and we have an interesting proposition for you."

Remus spoke. "The headmaster would like to advance you into seventh year DADA and charms and allow you to study duelling."

Harry was shocked for he had never heard of a student being allowed to advance before. He had the top marks in those classes to be sure ad he could do mot of the spells since he was five years old but this was definitely a shock. He found out the other man was actually a man from the ministry board of education ad had had come to over see this and agree that harry would be permitted to fast track in those two classes.

Harry was confused though. "I mean don't I have to take my OWLS before I can even do that? I mean I do not take them to the end of the year."

Albus shook his head. "You will not be required to. You will take them as others do and if you complete this year you ca take apprentice level courses in them next."

Harry was uncertain what was going on and he had no idea why his godfather looked so worried about this all. Remus was the DADA teacher. Filius was the only other professor save for his dad who knew of his powers. Surely they would be teaching him still and there could be no danger in either. He likely would have to do it in evenings or something instead of normal class time but he was sure they could work this around quidditch. He had no idea what the concern was all for.

Remus explained. "Filius will be helping but the headmaster has decided so it will not interfere with your evening he will be taking over teaching you DADA."

Albus smiled. "We can not have you every night, have to have time for quidditch and friends so a few days you'll do afternoon and since I don't teach it works."

Harry suddenly understood why Remus was looking so pale. The headmaster discussed and said two evenings a week when he did not have quidditch he would be having night practices with the headmaster. He knew they would be alone. He looked to Remus for some way out of this but his godfather had none for him. Harry found himself some how agreeing to the class without actually even saying any words. It was just taken for granted he would want such an opportunity as this. The headmaster told him they would wait until next week and till then Harry would not have his normal charms or DADA classes.

Remus escorted him out and with Charlie to Gryffindor. "I will speak to your dad but I am not sure there was any way out of this. You will just have to be careful."

Harry was pale. "Private lessons with the man all year? I can't even try to avoid him. Uncle Moony I am really worried. Even with my blocks I am worried."

Kissing his godson on the head Remus swore he and Harry's dad would do everything along with Sirius and Tonks to ensure Harry remained safe. Eve if he had to continue with the classes they would give him some way of ensuring the man was not able to try something. Harry just needed to remain on guard as he always was. If he could hide his powers when he was five, they were sure he could handle it now. Harry was cared though for he knew there was more to it the just his powers.

When George heard what happened when he sat down with his boyfriend George was not pleased. "Be careful. I have your back though. And many others do."

Harry rested his head against his boyfriend. "I never realized till now how lucky I am to have my parents and godfathers here. And of curse some red heads too."

Though he was certain they would all do what they could to ensure that he was protected, Harry was still unable to shake a feeling that something was going to happen this year to him and it scared him. The headmaster no longer had to worry about Harry fighting a war for him. He had no idea what the man's plans were but he had shivers every time he even thought of being near the man.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Severus, Tonks and Sirius were irate when they heard what Remus told them. They knew he was right. There was no safe way to get Harry out of it. By having the school board director there he had basically backed them into a corner. If the man had not been there they could have gone to Lucius for help. Harry would have to take this new class idea that had been set up but they knew the dangers were not only in Harry's powers.

Severus shook his head. "I see the way that man looks at my son. And we know what he was accused of by Tom. I don't like my son being alone with him."

Sirius snarled. "If that man even lays a finger on our cub I will not stop to arrest him. I will tear him to shreds."

Though there was a fellow auror in the room she tended to agree with her cousin. She had always cared about Harry but since he became her stepson that seemed even more prominent. She had not known about his powers for eve a year yet but she had understood why not. And like her cousin and the others in the room she was ready to do just about anything to ensure Harry was safe.

Remus sighed. "I would suggest sending Harry perhaps to Durmstang now Igor is gone but I don't think Harry would ever agree to leave any of us."

Severus shook his head. "My son doesn't deserve banishment because of Albus. He has us here and George, the Malfoys and his friends. His life here."

Though he would have done nearly anything to ensure that Harry was safe. Ad that would have included sending him away but they couldn't. They had threatened when he was younger and had considered it but they were sure they could protect him here. He knew Albus was after him and he would keep his eyes open. Taking him from everything he loved would not help anything. They would just have to ensure he was eve more careful then ever before.
