Chapter: The Slytherin Five

Behind Dumbledore Cedric was starting to get nerves, he couldn't explain it other then the fact that parents tend to do that, caring ones even more so. And no matter what the public thought, behind their pureblood prat masks, Slytherins are anything but unloving parents, a bit expecting of their children, but no uncaring. His godfather flashed threw his mind and he thought a little differently, then he remembered that both of his parents were Ravenclaws and felt a bit better.

As they came to the stair going to the dungeon and the large doors to the Great Hall became visible Harry sealed himself, tucking all emotion away, standing up straighter and lifting his head a bit higher, showing the world the proud Slytherin that he is. For a moment memories of Sanpe came to mind hand the fit his ex-potions professor would have if he knew who Cedric Potter really is. He shakes it thought, remember that that very man is currently a student of his as the Headmaster starts to open the great doors they had stopped in front of.

As the contents of the great Hall became visible he watched as twenty or more wizards and witches turned to watch them come in. All sat at the Slytherin table in a small area where he guesses they were talking about him before they walked in. He shifts his position to be standing slightly behind Dumbledore as he led him to the Slytherin Table, the crest above them making him feel a little better.

They halted next to the table and Dumbledore cleared his throat and motions to Cedric, "I am sorry for keeping you waiting Ladies and Gentlemen. I give you the new Slytherin Head of House, Potion's Master Cedric Potter."

Cedric stepped next to his old headmaster a bit when his title and name were announced, so he could see their reactions. They kept all their shock hidden very well because of the Gryffindor in room but they could not hide the slight widening of their eyes as the recognized their fellow Slytherin. They had all been at school roughly the same time, different years of course, all of them being in years ahead of him. Yet he can place nearly all of them.

He stepped forward and bowed to them, he ignored their stares and decided to start with a little bit of small talk to get rid of the Headmaster, who no doubt wanted to oversee the meeting, "Indeed I am sorry as well, if I had know I was being waited on I would have hurried to my classroom for the headmaster was waiting for me much sooner."

He gave a side glance at his boss who seemed to get the polite but harsh meaning, with and nod he started to turn, "I guess then that I will leave you to talk, as I am sure this is some sort of reunion."

With that he walked out of the great Hall, probably more than happy to leave the company of the cold Slytherins. As the doors shut tight behind the headmaster Cedric turned back to the other Slytherins as he heard someone step up next to him.

Before the new head of house stands an unmistakable male Malfoy, cold grey blue eyes slightly soft in their gaze, "Ricky?"

Cedric's eyes widened as he recognized his dear friend, the nickname bringing back memories in its own right, "Well, I haven't been called that in a long time Benji."

The Malfoy couldn't hold back his wild grin anymore and he ran his hand threw his long blond hair, a long since established show of excitement from Benjamin Malfoy, "Well, now I know a little bit about where you have been for the last fifteen years; Potion's Master."

Where ever that conversation had been going was quickly diverted as a high pitch voice, " I refuse to have my son taught by someone who graduated after me!"

Benji and Cedric looked with a frown at the owner of the voice, Walburga Black. Cedric recognized her automatically and held back a glare and sour comment at the sight of Sirius' mother. He tried to replay back as calmly as he could, knowing and outburst would ruin his current status, "Younger, but in no way am I under qualified to teach your children. Honestly I do not understand why you are here. Your oldest is in Gryffindor and your youngest is in Ravenclaw. You really have no need to be here."

Her eyes widened in anger," Why you little…" she sucked in a deep breath, "How dare you will have you fired for your insolent tongue."

It was not Cedric who's next comment cut her down but Benji's older brother whose name Cedric did not remember, "Even if he does not have the support the black family, but as the top student in Slytherin his graduation year, Cedric Potter has the support of the Malfoy family."

The black looked to her husband who only shrugged and her wish for back up, "Drake has a point Walburga. He is a part of the Slytherin Five and I have no objecting to him teaching our son. And in all fairness, you picked the fight. Do not complain that you lost."

Cedric did not forget the way they acted as if they only have one son, but chose to ignore it in favor of the fact that the Head of the Black Family backed him up. He stepped forward, taking some bravery that Benji stood next to him, and met all of their eyes, "Thank you sir. I will not let you down in that, " he looked to Sirius' mother and held his tongue and looked to Drake, "And thank you as well, without the Malfoys I believe I would have been lost in school, and now it seems you back me up again."

Drake looked behind him and Cedric knew that the two brothers were sharing a look. With a slightly warm smile the Malfoy Head nodded to Cedric, "I hold hope that you will not let me down. Now if you will excuse me, I have business to attend too."

As Drake stood to leave so did several others. Nodding to them as they leave he more grateful now than ever that he has an ally in the Malfoy family, for if the Malfoys are for something, it is most likely that the rest of the Pureblood families will fallow as well.

He thought he could breathe again until Sirius' father stopped in from of Cedric on his way out, "Please do take care of both of our sons, "He spared a look at his wife who now stand in the doorway waiting for him, "She may not see Sirius as our son but I still do."

Cedric spared the man a small smile, "As you might guess sir, I know a bit about his situation."

The black nodded, "That's right, you are a Potter. With your appearance I seemed to have forgotten that. Very well, have a good day."

With a hand shake he left and only Cedric and Benji stood in the great Hall. Benji leaned on his friends, "So, have any where that we can talk?"

The black haired wizard rolled his eyes at his friend, remembering all too well the joker the Malfoy could be. "There are my rooms, but I kinda wanted to get to my classroom to do some rearranging." He paused, "Why weren't the Lestranges here?"

The blond raised and eyebrow, "We really do need to catch up, Ruddy and Freddie moved to Germany where Freddie has become the Head Medic at Durnstrang. Ruddy also moved his family business out there so their two sons could go to Durnstrang."

Cedric couldn't help it as his mouth fell slightly open, "You are kidding me, they couldn't stand each other in school, and they ended up hitching together?"

Benji chuckled to himself, "Yah, me and Al didn't expect it either. We tried to talk him out of it but it was no use, they truly love each other. It is kinda sickening…"

"I wish I was there", Cedric sighed, "I really need to see their love of theirs to be convinced, I can't find myself believing you."

For the second time that day their conversation was cut short; at the sound of a soft cough both turned, hands at ready to use their wand when they spotted and tall man with long, slightly wavy hair and striking blue eyes. Benji relaxed, "Well, now we have three of the five together."

At those words Cedric turned to the man who he had already established as a Black, "Al!?"

A grin spread over the Black's formally cold face, "Why hello Ricky. I came to threaten the new Head of House to stay away from my nephew, but I guess I don't need to."

The green-eyed wizard was getting ready to reply when he noticed Dumbledore coming in threw the still open door, his emotions disappeared from his face and he spoke next, "We should talk about this somewhere else."

The other two Slytherins turned to face the oncoming Headmaster, their emotions disappearing just as fast as Cedric's did. The white-bearded man noticed their cold stared and they noted he slowed down a bit, most likely dreading the conversation he was getting ready to get himself into. He seemed to seal himself though, stopping in front of them. "Hello boys, I believe all you need now is Mr. and Ms, Lestrange and the gang is back together."

Benji stepped forward slightly, lifting his head not at all impressed with the try at small talk, "Yes, but unfortunately both of them are at Durnstrang, so our get together is not really complete, now is it?"

Dumbledore gave him a false mournful look, "I am sorry for that. I guess you want to stay and talk over old time Mr. Malfoy and Black?"

Al gave a curt nod and small smile, being the somewhat nicest of the group, "That would be nice Professor Dumbledore."

The old wizard before them let a smile come to his lips, "I can allow this up until the students are here, but would you please limit yourselves to the dungeons and the Great Hall."

He tipped his head to them and a forced smile before turning around once again to leave. This time the three younger men fallowed but they parted ways as the headmaster went to his office and Cedric led his friends to his classroom where he had yet to spend any time since coming to work at Hogwarts. Soon they passed the entrance to the Slytherin common room and were no longer in the view of anyone that would look down the stairs to the dungeon. With a chuckle Al - who was walking in between his two friends- wrapped his arms around their neck in some of leap, almost making the three of them tumble to the floor.

Benji glared at him but kept quiet at the childish act to talk to Cedric, "So where have you been the last fifteen year Ricky?"

Green eyes stared back at him behind thin wire glasses, "All over the place really, but mostly stationed in Romania. I worked with dragons for a bit there while I worked on my apprenticeship ship."

Al decided to join in on the conversation, "Wait, it could not have possibly taken you fifteen years to get your mastery," he pause to give him a calculation look, "Was there someone special in Romania that interested our Ricky enough that he didn't even write to us?"

Cedric was getting to reply with some non-sense before he got glares from his friends, warning him, "All right, all right. There is. He'll be moving to Hogsmeade once he ties up all loose ends there."

Al released his fellow Slytherins and backed up into the door to Cedric's classroom, opening it as he gave a sly look, "Really now, what is this special male have a name, and will we get to meet him?"

Cedric rolled his eyes, pushing past him into the room, "With the stories I have told him, I don't think Sal would have it any other way."

Now Benji got into the mood, leaning in as he fallowed them, shutting the door behind him, "Sal? I hope that that is short for something."

Cedric leaned against Slughorn's old desk with a devilish grin and for the first time his friends noticed the fangs that were barely visible in his mouth, "It is, but I am afraid he threatened me not to tell anyone until he introduced himself. He does like the surprise on people's faces."

The resident Malfoy took it upon himself and sat on one of the desks in the front, Al sitting next to him. Benji's tone grew a little serious when he spoke next, "I take it he is the one that turned you."

Cedric relaxed a bit, happy his friends accepted him being a vampire without little complaint, he didn't know what he would do if they didn't, "Happily mated for the last six years." To satisfy the two purebloods he added, "Legally mind you, Sal wouldn't have it any other way."

Al leaned back a little, "A pureblood I take it."

To buisy himself Cedric started to study the desk to see if he wanted to keep it and muttered to them with a snort, "You have no idea."

"When is he moving here?" Benji slid off the desk, keeping the conversation going while he too looked around the room, seeing if anything from Slughorn's ruling was worth keeping.

Cedric let his wand slide out of his sleeve and taped it on the desk he decides won't do and transformed it into a newer desk of the same wood species but with a darker stain and a more contemporary took to it. With that done he looked up at his friend who was starting to remove old and rotting shelves off the darkly stained stone walls with his own wand, "We've never been able to go two weeks without drinking from each other so he should be here around the time school starts or sooner depending on how long it takes to tie up his loose ends."

Al -who had decided to just watch for the moment- made a choked sound, "Two weeks?! He must be some powerful Vampire!"

A laugh left Cedric's mouth, "That he is, the old fart."

"Old fart?" Benji turned with a raised eyebrow, " Just how old is he?"

After transforming his new deck chair Cedric moved to shelves and selves full of students' books to see if he needed to order a new class set, "He looks about thirty if that's what you want to know. I wouldn't be able to mate myself to anyone who reminds of the old coot, no matter how good he is in bed."

Al finally let himself slide of the desk which creaked, grabbing his attention, "Want me to replace the desks?"

With out looking up Cedric hummed his positive reply and the tall Black pulled out his own wand, ready to fix the desks, "Do you love him?

At that Cedric did look up to meet two sets of eyes, waiting for his answer, "Yes, more than you will ever know. You know my trust issues; I wouldn't mate him unless I did."

With that the topic was dropped and the conversation shifted to memories from their school days, changing the old dirty room in to one that is more fit to Cedric's liking.

!!!!

'Betrayal, it started with tightening of his chest and spread out threw his body with slow dread in his lungs, making it hard to breathe. His body started to shake, in anger and fright as his darkening green eyes shifted between a man he had always thought as his grandfather and the red head he had know as his best mate from his first year and the many eyes that bore hold into him with hatred.

Cedric looked around the court room, the emotions from his memory reminding him why he chose the path of a Dark Wizard. All he could do was stare at the red head in the witness box with hate filled eyes from the position of a seventeen year old Harry Potter, locked up in a cage like a common animal the way they pictured him.

Even as the judge spoke his eyes did not remove themselves from the returning cold eyes of Ronald Weasley, "Mr. Weasley, tell this court what Mr. Harry Potter forced you to do."

"Yes sir, Potter forced me to go with him into Knockturn Alley to research the Dark Arts."

"Now Mr. Weasley, what happened in Knockturn Alley when you were there with Mr. Potter?"

"We were confronted by the victim and Potter pulled his wand out and killed him."

"Now, what spell did Mr. Potter use to kill the victim?"

"The Killing Curse, sir."

"For the record Mr. Weasley, what incantation did he use?"

"Avada Kedavra, sir."

At this point Cedric cold feel the emotions boiling up in his memory self; the anger, the rage, the hatred. "Let it me recorded that tests were done on Mr. Potter's wand and The Killing Curse was indeed used my that wand. Now, Mr. Weasley, did Mr. Potter ever loose hold of his wand.

"No sir, he kept hold of it the whole time. I even recall the joy in his eyes when the victim fell to the ground, dead."

The dream Harry could not hold it in any longer, he stood as bet she could with his restraints, screaming at them, "You Bloody Liar! You followed me! YOU FOLLOWED ME THERE! I WAS ATTACKED BY THAT REVOLTING MAN! HE THREATENED ME! HE-"

And then he was silenced with a quick charm from one of the guards standing next to him. He knew what he said did not matter, but that did not keep him from yelling his throat dry and pull on his restraints until bruises formed on his body from the chains being pulled tighter and tighter.

"Order! Order in the court! Order in the Court!"'

Arms wrapped around Cedric's violent sleeping forms, stilling his movements as a soft voice spoke in his ear, "Harry, calm down. It already happened, it's over. I'm here now."

Slowly Cedric came to, angry tears running down his slightly flush cheeks. His took in deep breathes, his nostrils filling with the sent of his Calmar's sent. He rolled over and wrapped his arms around his mate, "S-Sal."

"Shhhh, Harry, I'm here now, and I'm not going to leave."

Soothing hisses filled Cedric's senses, calming him down and sent back to sleep in the safety of his mate's arms.
