Chapter Twenty Seven: Shifting Cores

Before either man could react the door was thrown open and Remus Lupin was rushing in, Harry was scooped up and spun before the man saw them and set the green eyed devil behind him and began growling protectively. The growling stopped when Harry leaned up and whispered something in his ear, making the werewolf pause and turn to whisper something to Harry. The whispering went on for about ten minutes before Remus turned back around and looked at them with very clear eyes.

"Alright Harry has explained that you two are working with him, that he is part of the Dark forces and that he will remained unmarked," Remus said getting a nod he glanced at Harry who nodded and smiled meaning he could continue the threats, so he turned back to the men and said, "He also informed me that you two have been treating him kindly, taking him on trips and kissing him –which I will have to kill you for-ow!" Harry had pinched him when he started to threaten the men, "Fine they can kiss you-ow!" Harry had pinched him again.

"Obviously I didn't get it through your thick skull," Harry sighed before turning to Lucius and Tom with a slight smile, "Left over pie in the kitchen, we'll be right back," and he dragged the werewolf away.

When they came back Lucius and Tom were drinking tea and going over of all things homework, they were still Professors and needed to keep grading the papers. Even if they were on a vacation it did not matter they still had work to do outside ruling the world, Remus settled on a seat while Harry settled on the floor leaning against the werewolf's legs as if content to watch them be watched by Remus.

"Alright so I am to avoid the topic of any form of kissing and or the dates as I call them, so instead I am simply going to say next time you two plan to convert my cub over to any side or position or something send a letter or something," Remus said confusing them greatly, "I have been trying to find him ever since I got a letter saying Harry was killed, his scent was still in the air and it just took me a long time to find him. Now to keep me from having a mini heart attack and accidentally destroying a small town a note would be nice."

"I already promised to write him more often," Harry said which made the two nod, "Do you mind if he crashes here for tonight before heading back tomorrow?"

"That's fine," Tom said calmly before smirking and holding a file for Harry out, "Heh you have work still as well."

Remus watched as Harry graded papers with them, the teen had explained how he was helping teach and also about the rebellion, he had explained pretty much everything that had been going on. When Lucius brought Harry coffee later that night as they all just sort of curled around to watch television he gave a soft chuckle. This chuckle made Harry glance at him while sipping the coffee, Lucius glanced at him in wonder while Tom simply raised an eyebrow as if inquiring what was so funny.

"Cub you realize with the amount of caffeine you take in during the length of a day is enough to actually stop your heart right?" Remus asked he found it funny that Harry was easily drinking so much of something that would cause others damage and passing it off as if it was nothing.

Blinking twice Harry set his cup aside and smiled some, "Yes I know this Moony would you like to know why?" getting a nod he chuckled lightly, "Well you see Tom's back fired killing curse on me when I was a baby left my magical core a bit unstable and as such it flickers and sort of acts like a nuclear reactor in a muggle bomb," getting all three jaws to drop he giggled a little, "Well once Sirius died and Dumbledore died I realized I had been shifting the excessive magic escaping from my core to people around me which in effect was weakening them or strengthing them depending on the strength of the wizard or witch."

"And coffee does what?" Lucius asked curiously, he was trying not to have a panic attack at Harry being a bomb in a sense.

"Well the caffeine creates a fuel source for my magic to latch to and burn through, though as Tom has seen I can over do it when not thinking," Harry chuckled before seeing Tom had a question and he answered before it could be asked, "The reason I have been drinking less is because I have found that shifting my magic to the both of you does nothing, its as if your cores just go eh a little more magic no big deal."

"Oh so is that why-" Remus started to say something but Harry threw a book and hit him in the face effectively knocking him backwards over his seat and to the floor, "Ok sorry…must have been an insane moment heh lack of brain cells."

"I hope you both don't mind," Harry said getting blinked at by the two he squeaked as Tom simply moved and picked him up, "Tom!"

"We need to talk," Tom said and carried him from the room, Lucius following after he told Remus to stay put. Once upstairs Tom dropped Harry on a bed and asked, "When did you start shifting your magic to us?"

"Well I did it as a test after we formed a truce," Harry murmured settling himself comfortably since he knew these two were likely to question him about a lot of things now, "I wanted to see if I had to be careful not to accidentally weaken you both or if I could give you both a boost, instead I found you both were able to take the small bursts of magic and not worry about harming either of you."

"What did you do before you knew about magic?" Lucius asked as he settled on the bed enar the young man while Tom settled on the other side.

"Oh my core didn't start dispersing magic until after Tom's return I think it was being exposed to a high level of dark magic all at once that made my core unstable," Harry said eyes closing since Tom was massaging his lower back and it felt wonderful, Lucius had a hand on his leg, "He made the crack when he attacked me as an infant but he pierced through completely when I was fourteen."

"So you can control how much magic is released at once?" Tom asked getting a nod he stopped his massage, "Would we feel it?" that got him looked at by those green eyes.

"I normally send my excess magic to you both when your busy so I'm not sure if you'll feel it or not," Harry murmured before getting a look meaning to do so, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath Harry exhaled slowly and they both felt as if a warmth was running through their entire bodies leaving a slight tingling sensation along their spines and in the pit of their stomachs.

"Whoa," Lucius said getting slightly dazed before looking at Harry, "You must have picked times we were really stressed since that feels bloody amazing!"
