Sorry it took so long to get this up but I took a trip (no internet access), it got lost, and then yesterday I found it after it had gone through the washer and dryer. Thankfully it still works and so this can now be put up.
LAST TIME ON The Feel Of Feeling
"Heart," Hermione knelt in front of Harry. "Why don't you go to your bed and lay down, it might make you feel better."
Harry numbly nodded and robotically left. With a sigh Hermione turned to the others in the room, time to do some explaining.
'this is Ra speaking to Harry'
"this is Parseltongue"
--Chapter Seven--
"Merle and Zain aren't our real names. While Zain's last name can be Evans mine can't, we aren't really related. Do any of you know about the situation in Britain?" The three nodded. "Good, then I don't need to explain much to you. My real name is Hermione Granger and Zain's is Harry Potter." The three creatures looked gobsmacked. "When Harry got out of Azkaban he made everyone believe he had lost his mind when he hadn't. He told me and together we found this school. We did some studying and ran away here. Our leaving will only be known around Christmas time. Please, don't tell anyone about us." Hermione finished, close to tears.
Tamina went forward and hugged her.
"If it wasn't for Zain I wouldn't have any friends. I wouldn't have met you all. I don't care if he's Harry Potter, he will always be Zain to me." She said with more confidence then any of them had ever heard from her.
Keaden went over and put a hand on Hermione's shoulder.
"Tamina's right, Zain being Harry Potter just makes our friend even more special then he already is and makes even more proud to be his friend." He gave her a reassuring smile.
Drey went behind her and hugged her. In a moment of seriousness he also contributed.
"If it wasn't for Zain, we wouldn't all be here, we wouldn't have given each other a second look. Zain needs you little Merle-y, and we just wouldn't be the same without you so you can't have a break down like Zain is right now."
After they had composed themselves they made their way to Harry's room. Harry was laying staring blankly at the top of the canopy of bed so the four friends took spots around him and they all eventually fell asleep.
Harry was the first to wake and looked around himself in confusion until the day before came back to him. His eyes dimmed until he took another look around his bed. His eyes softened and he smiled.
His movement caused the non-humans to wake up and they looked at him concerned. He smirked at them.
"Well Drey, guess you finally got in my bed."
Drey stared at him before bursting out laughing resulting in Hermione waking up. She looked around to see a relieved Kaeden, smiling Tamina, laughing Drey, and teasing Harry. She smiled and lunged at Harry hugging him.
"If you ever scare me like that again I will kill you!"
"Course." He hugged her closer and did a wandless tempus. "Uhh…"
"What?" Hermione detached herself and turned around. "Oh my God!"
Hermione tried to get up (as the time revealed to her she was late for class) but Miri flew into the canopy and pinned her to the bed, purring and licking her face.
"Miri! Get off me!"
Harry laughed at her while the others looked at Miri in shock.
"I don't think you're going anywhere Knight," Harry gasped out.
"Umm," everyone turned to Tamina, "who's that?"
Drey and Kaeden nodded, wanting to know as well.
"That's right," Harry looked at Hermione who had stopped trying to get Miri off, "they haven't met Miri and Ra have they?"
"No." Hermione shook her head as much as she could. "We've known Kaeden and Drey for more then two months and Tamina for a whole week and I don't think we've even mentioned them."
"So get on with the 'splaining!" Drey burst out.
"Well as you know Zain has the Potter and Black vault," Harry tensed unnoticed; "and Miri was in the Potter vault. He gave her to me and found Ra, his grim, in Black vault, it's really quite simple."
As if he heard his name Ra jumped out of the shadows and pounced on Harry.
"Gah!"
'Why are you so tense Harry-human? Can we play, it'll make you better.'
Harry smiled. "No, I'm good Ra but…" he knelt down and whispered into his ear.
Ra gave a doggy grin and barked something to Miri. Miri gave a catty grin and they turned to Drey. They jumped, pinned him down, and started gnawing on random limbs. Drey growled playfully and started wrestling with the creatures, winner gets Drey's limbs.
Hermione grumbled as she pushed herself up but didn't try to leave again.
"Don't worry knight, runes isn't the most important class," Hermione glared at Harry for even daring to say that. "Tamina, do you think your dad will eat us for not going to class today?"
Tamina giggled. "No, as a teacher here he doesn't care whether students go to his class or not."
"Ya!" Drey spit out a feather. "If you don't learn enough during the year in or out of class then you don't make it through the final evaluations. But hey, what's with the knight and heart thing?"
Harry and Hermione saddened so Miri and Ra stopped trying to eat Drey and went to comfort them.
"Well me, Harry, and Ron made them. Ron was fortress," Hermione didn't elaborate and the slightly murderess look on her face stopped anyone from asking. "Harry was heart because he was the heart of the group and the one that kept us all together."
"And Hermione was knight," Harry took over, "because she was always saving me in one way or the other, usually with her intelligence, she was my knight in shining armour."
Harry and Hermione smiled at each other.
"That's so cute!" Drey squealed scaring everyone else.
They glared at him while he happily ate his chocolate snack. Harry's eyes widened seeing exactly what he was eating.
"You're eating my pocky!" Harry screeched and lunged at him.
They fought for awhile (the others completely ignoring them) before Drey popped the last part of the pocky stick into his mouth. Harry gasped in horror and looked down at Drey from his position of straddling Drey's hips with fake tears welling in his eyes.
"How could you?" Harry asked in mock sadness and horror.
Drey grinned mischievously and cupped the back of Harry's neck. Harry opened his mouth to question what Drey was plotting now when Drey pulled his head down, pressed his lips against his, and took advantage of his open mouth. Harry went into shock and Drey flipped them around so he was straddling Harry.
Unsure of what to do Harry hesitantly and shyly kissed back. He felt Drey grin and his tongue (Drey's) started coaxing his tongue into his mouth. Harry shyly let Drey's tongue lead him.
"Okay, enough already!"
The two jumped apart to see their other three friends looking amused. Harry furiously blushed and Drey pouted.
"It's already eleven-thirty, we still have class this afternoon, and we haven't had breakfast or lunch yet, Chop, chop!" Hermione gave everyone stern glares that sent them hurrying to the kitchen.
Harry started gathering things to cook with and even though they just got in there, the others quickly vacated, you risk your life and limbs in being in his kitchen when he cooks (which only came into affect after Drey tried help him in there),
They all went back to their own rooms and got ready for the day then went back to Harry's room to wait for food. Harry came out later, after all of them had returned to his room and placed the food on the table. He then went into his room to get ready while they ate (he ate while he cooked).
Harry and Hermione sat in there own little spot in their elements class with the rest of class shooting them glares. Harry gleefully giggled, not caring about the odd looks he got for giggling, at the mess around him. As Hermione had minor control over air, Harry was teaching her how to use it. It wasn't going very well. While she could produce wind, she couldn't control it, so the room currently looked like a tornado went through it. Hermione, having a calm flowing element of water, the excited, slightly erratic element of air was eluding her, especially as she only recently got the element and it was only a minor one.
"Class is over, you may all leave."
The class let out a relieved breath and left.
"I hope your control over air is better on Tuesday." Rain commented to Hermione as they passed her.
"You're helping me, now." Hermione commanded as soon as they where out of the classroom.
Harry nodded thinking of the best place to help her (and thus causing more madness).
Harry sulked as he ate breakfast, while he no longer had class, Hermione deemed he should be up anyway.
"Bye Heart, see you after class."
Hermione waved and was off to class, while Harry cleaned up his breakfast. He left his room and quietly entered Drey's. He manoeuvred around furniture until he made it to the bedroom. He silently opened the door not worrying about waking Drey, if he knew you, he would sleep through you entering his room which worked in Harry's favour. He crept up to his bed and blushed at what he planned to do. After their little make out they decided to give being a couple (much to Drey's happiness) and even if had only been a day Drey was very touchy, he kissed any part of Harry he could when he could and was always touching him, even if it was just holding hands.
He climbed into Drey's bed and straddled the sleeping demon. Still blushing he lightly kissed his lips before trailing kisses down to his neck. He sucked and kissed the neck making Drey moan and wake up.
"Morning Drey," Harry whispered into his ear.
Drey smiled and then moaned again as Harry started blowing, sucking, and nipping his ear lobe.
"You sure you haven't done this before?" Drey breathlessly asked trailing his hands down Harry's chest and under his shirt.
Harry pulled his head back to look at Drey but was stopped momentarily by Drey pulling his shirt off.
"Yup, I had a girlfriend when I was fifteen, we shared one kiss and it was absolutely terrible."
They made out for a little longer, and to Drey's disappointment, shirts were the only article removed.
"I wouldn't mind waking up like that more often." Drey grinned suggestively at Harry.
"Can't promise anything," Harry smiled and pecked Drey on the lips. "Come on," Harry pulled his shirt back on, "you can help me with my wandless magic and I might just consider waking you up like that more often."
Harry walked out of the room with a blush and Drey happily got ready for the day.
They spent a good part of the time actually working on Harry's wandless magic but they did have a few make out sessions in between. When classes were close to being done for the morning Harry and Drey went to Hermione's room to wait for the girls who had class, which is where they found Kaeden also waiting. They gathered in the library so as to do something while they waited.
"What are you reading?" Drey pulled Harry against his chest and kissed his neck.
Harry shifted to get more comfortable and showed Drey what he was reading.
"I don't know much about here or anywhere else, but in Britain no one cares about werewolves and there isn't much out there to help them. And seeing as how my 'uncle' and Tamina are werewolves, I thought I'd take a go at making something."
"While werewolves aren't hated like they are in Britain, no one really cares enough to do anything. Though what ever you make, don't call it a cure or anything, a lot of werewolves are proud of their werewolf status."
"Really? Remus hates it, to him it's a disease."
Drey nuzzled his neck. "With how they're treated there it's no wonder."
They sat reading (Kaeden and Harry) or daydreaming of unknown things (Drey) until Hermione came in chatting with Tamina.
"Tamina!" Harry smiled happily and waved her over. "Just who I need! I have questions!" Tamina sat and nodded at him to ask. "I know there's wolfsbane for werewolves, but is there anything else?" Tamina shook her head. "Ok, what would you look for in something like wolfsbane?"
"Well, mostly something that we wouldn't need every full moon, something that would be taken once and that's it, permanent. And something that doesn't suppress the wolf in us, we've come to accept it and don't like when it's suppressed."
"Right…this is going to result in many explosions and melted cauldrons…know anyone willing to be a test subject for a mad potion maker?"
Tamina's back straightened. "I will." She gave them all a look she must have gotten from Hermione that stopped all arguments.
They sat in awkward silence until Hermione huffed, got up, and graded a book. The normalcy of Hermione getting a book relaxed everyone and so they sat in comfortable silence reading. Until Harry's stomach interrupted it. Everyone stared.
"What? It's not like you don't make noises when you're hungry."
"I'll cook!" Drey exclaimed.
"No!" Everyone else yelled in horror.
"We're in my room, I'll cook."
Drey pouted and the others sighed in relief. Crisis averted.
Harry was once again walking to Daimien's room with Ra trailing behind him.
"You know Kean will be there."
'I know Harry human'
Harry twitched as Ra let out a dog like giggle.
"Please, never do that again, it was beyond creepy."
Ra just did it again.
Harry knocked on the door and as pervious time it opened up and once again Kean was waiting.
"Kean, I know we don't get along, but I give you full permission to have fun with Ra."
Harry pointed to the grim hiding behind his legs.
'What did you tell him?'
Harry just smirked at the dog.
"Wondrous." Kean practically purred.
"Ya, I'll leave you to it then." Harry mumbled as Ra took off with Kean following.
"Do I want to know?"
Harry jumped and looked at Daimien who had at some point come to stand a few feet away from him.
"You might, but it's not very important."
"Then I don't."
Daimien led Harry to the same seating as before.
"Tea?"
"No thanks."
Daimien nodded and waved the tea set away.
"Now, as I'm sure we wont have something to do concerning blood magic every time you come but you are still technically supposed to spend this time with me you are free to bring homework or do any such thing while here as long as it does not include destroying my stuff or really venturing from this room."
Harry nodded thoughtfully, it would be a good time to work on his werewolf research.
"But I would like you to tell me when you are going to do any blood magic and still feel free to ask me questions."
Harry thought about it before nodding again.
"Good, now as we have nothing else to do today and you didn't bring anything else you may leave."
Harry blinked and nodded, that was a very short 'class'. He said good-bye and left. As he had nothing else to do he went to Hermione's library to research.
"Werewolves can't become animagus because the wolf and yet, from personal experience with magical animagus forms, it seems to be the same so why…" Harry let out a frustrated noise and pulled at his hair. "Stupid. Confusing." He hit his head on the table.
"Umm…"
Harry's head whipped up and to the door.
"Holy chickens Tamina! You're going to scare the black outta my hair if you sneak up on me like that!"
Tamina blinked in confusion. Chickens? Scare the black out?
"But enough of that! When's the full moon?"
"Tonight."
Harry blinked. "Oh." Chucks idea two out the window (figuratively). "Well then I have a potion I want you to take as soon as you start to transform. You sit or do whatever you were going to do and I'll just go get it."
Harry jumped up and was out the door before Tamina could answer, he came back a little later holding a potion. Tamina looked up from her book when Harry placed it on the table in front of her.
"Remember," he looked her in the eyes. "Right before you transform, I don't know if it'll work if you drink it too soon."
Tamina nodded and safely tucked the potion away.
"Welcome to potions," the professor, Gaven, told the class in a way that said they weren't really welcome. "If you where put in this class then you have skills in potion making." Wow, déjà vu, Harry thought to himself. "What you are to make is on the board and will be every class. Do what you want as long as the potion gets completed, now get to work."
Harry turned to Kaeden. "I don't think he likes us." Kaeden let out a snort of laughter.
"You think?" he said in a sarcastic manner.
Harry shrugged. "Let's see…Draught of Dieing Life?"
Harry flipped through his book trying to find the potion.
"Page 543. It's the exact opposite of the Draught of Living Death, you stay awake until your body shuts down."
"That doesn't sound very nice."
"It's not."
They worked on their potion chatting and the whole class found out not to ask the teacher questions. The few that tried had been glared at and nothing else. They had a break for lunch but where quickly back to their potions.
"You should be nearing the fourteen hour wait now."
Many of the students jumped startled at their teachers voice (as it was the first time he spoke since the beginning of class).
"When it is there mark what time you finished and leave. When the time is right I will collect your potions. You'll find out next class if you succeeded or not."
Harry and Kaeden finished at the same time (as they had been working together) and left together.
"Well, I suppose it's not that bad of a class." Kaeden raised an eyebrow at him. "What? I'm trying to be optimistic."
