Chapter 7-

It had only been a few weeks since Harry had been taken away from Hogwarts, but he already wanted to hurt, if not maim everyone he came into contact with. He was being harassed, stalked and coddled by quite possibly the most interfering people in the wizarding world.

He had barely been able to talk to the twins alone, and only when he managed to sneak off as he was hounded by the rest of their ruddy family as soon as he stepped through the fire place, he was quite certain that they had only been able to say about two words to each other before he was swept away by the flood of attention seeking teenage hormones, (Ron and Ginny).

Ron had glued himself to Harry's side and would barely let anyone talk to the other teen without trying to drag him off in what harry could only perceive to be jealousy that he had given another red head the smallest speck of attention that had surely been stolen from him, he kept shooting the others suspicious looks that had Harry literally having to stop himself rolling his eyes at the sheer stupidity that one person was able to display.

Ginny had been ignoring Ron's weird possessiveness, probably not even noticing it above her own obsession, she had taken to latching on to him wherever he went, even following him to the toilet and waiting outside the room for him to finish, he was half tempted to feign severe bowel issues to try and escape through the window, only that would get Mrs Weasly on his case, probably try and force more fibrous foods into his diet.

Mrs Weasly had become even more smothering than before, almost force feeding him the huge platters that were placed in front of him, honestly he was surprised none of the Weaslys had dropped dead of high cholesterol or something, then there was her grilling him constantly on his wellbeing that in itself wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't about five thousand times every bloody day.

Mr Weasly was just as bad with the amount of questioning, although his weren't about his wellbeing, they were about muggles and their tools and implements as he liked to refer to them by, these questions roamed from "if not used for transport what on earth is the reasoning of having carpets?" to "that little box muggles have for entertainment with the tiny people inside, how do they shrink them down without a spell?", that particular one had had Harry almost reaching for something heavy to bash against his head.

The only respite he had managed to get from the insanity was the few hours he had got when Ron and Ginny had some chores to do, he had managed to sneak upstairs to hide out in Fred and George's room with them, which had been the only highlight of his imprisonment so far.

"wow Harry, I highly doubt…"

"…that even the prisoners in Azkaban are…"

"…guarded quite this heavily.."

"…I mean come on what do they think…"

"…is going to happen? That you'll disappear…"

"…or get kidnapped right under their noses? This is getting…"

"…stupid, I thought Ginny might be slightly stalkerish but to…"

"..this extent? I think you'll need a restraining order in a few years…"

"…and a bloody good lock on your bedroom door" concluded the twins. Harry groaned into his hands.

"I honestly don't get where she's gotten this idea into her head, I mean lets be honest we're both hardly past puberty! Not only that I haven't given any inclination that I like any girl let alone girls in general!" the black haired teen stated angrily, before realising what he had said and blushing furiously. The twins looked at him with matching evil, leering smirks.

"so little, ickle Harry doesn't…"

"…like girls? Does that mean that he's…"

"…more inclined to the more rugged…"

"…of the sexes? Maybe he's had some…"

"…interesting dreams he might like…" "…to share, or maybe he's got a little…"

"…boy crush." They both moved closer, "yes, tell us…"

"…you can trust us." They winked at Harry who had never felt so uncomfortable with any of his pack before, he was quite close to hexing them actually, if only he could stop this bloody blush, I'm a guy he thought firmly I need to be all manly, and stuff. He paused then thinking hard, then grinned in a rather shark like manner.

"To be honest guys," he looked down at his hands for dramatic effect, to which the twins backed away slightly, they had seen that grin. "I did have this dream the other night, I was shocked as it involved someone I care about, and myself doing something I'd never even considered before." The twins despite their nervousness a second ago moved closer in curiosity. Then he looked up with a smile, "I had you both squirming under me." Then jumped towards them shifting forms as he went, and flattened both of them under paw. His toothy wolf grin had them shrinking back slightly and wriggling against his rather substantial weight.

"now Harry…" Fred began breathlessly,

"…dearest brother, oh wise and…"

"…powerful pack master, we will never again…"

"…assume to poke into your sexual fantasies again…"

"…we so swear it unless of course you…"

"…want to involve one or both…"

"…of us in said fantasy…" they ended with lurid smile attached to both their faces, knowing that Harry would never actually harm them, the direwolf shook his giant head in despair, and slumped to his side next to the twins shifting back as he did.

"What am I going to do with you two," he started, then added quickly, "and nothing weird and perverted is to leave your mouth," he looked at them both firmly, "understood?"

They both nodded, "very well oh wise one…"

"…we shalt not defile your ears with…"

"…our perverted and undoubtedly…"

"…debaucherous natures…"

"…yet." That made Harry truly smile for the first time in what seemed like months.

"Okay guys how about this, I'll tell you when I know myself?" he asked them quizzically, "sound fair?"

They both sighed in a put upon manner, "I suppose we…"

"…can exercise our patience…"

"…with this, for…"

"…a little while, at any rate" then the smiled warmly and Fred pulled Harry towards himself, and lay down pulling the dark haired boy on top of him his head pillowed on his chest from his prone position on the floor, George then flopped down so he was half laying on Harry. They lay like that for a while in comfortable silence, relishing in each other's company for the first time in what felt like years, finally able to relax.

«×»«×»«×»

It was five days until the world cup, and the twins had convinced Mr and Mrs Weasly that they all needed to let off steam, and what better way than to go to diagon alley. It had taken a fair amount of persuasion but they had managed it. That was how they found themselves walking down the cobblestoned street, scheming on how to escape the leeches (aka the younger Weaslys, plus Hermione who had joined them a few days prior).

"Hey Hermione," called Fred suddenly, "didn't you say yesterday that there was a book you needed from flourish?" he asked innocently, as though it had taken the sight of the ornate shop front to remind him of the fact, though Harry was almost certain they had been thinking about distraction methods since they arrived at the alley.

"yeah actually," she looked thoughtful for a second, "I think I'll go now, just as we're here I mean," she looked slightly torn as though feeling the need to not separate herself from the group, "do you guys want anything, we could go together?" She looked back at Ron hopefully who gave her an exasperated look right back.

"Hermione, I don't think anyone here other than you actually enjoys reading," he paused looking slightly constipated, which the pack knew from previous experience was actually his thinking face, "how about we go to quality quidditch? And when you catch up we'll all go get ice cream?"

They all looked satisfied with this plan, apart from the twins and Harry who gave each other weird looks, not that the others noticed, so Hermione split off and the rest of the group carried on to their favourite sporting shop.

Ron and Ginny were easily distracted by the flashy new broom series, The Fire Dancers, Fred and George linked arms with Harry and with as much subtlety as they could muster slunk out of the shop and bolted towards a shadowy alleyway.

Harry bent over double trying not to choke as he tried catching his breath and stop laughing, George started slapping him on the back boisterously with a huge grin plastered on his face, the black haired teen was forced to slump against the wall next to him in an effort to escape the 'helpful' twin. After a few minutes in which they deduced no one had actually noticed their daring escape (some guards they turned out to be), the red heads looked at harry questioningly, "so hero, now.."

"…we have managed that…"

"…what are you wanting…"

"…to do with our newly…"

"…found freedom?"

Harry finally recovered, looked up into their mischievous faces and smiled, "well my brothers, I think that we should find some higher quality companions and conversations," he paused dramatically, "but in order for this to be a success we shall need some cunning disguises." The twins looked at each other with interest, Harry always kept the game much more fun, "so I am going to show you something that I have been working on recently, you know how we heard absolutely nothing from the ministry about underage magic when that thing with the Dursley's happened? well I looked up some interesting things, whilst the ministry is notified it is only due to the trace placed on the wand, and on the power of the magic used this is how they know about accidental magic as it is a concentrated burst of emotional magic that creates a traceable flare, which is logged in some archives at the ministry, however I realised that for the ministry not to have been notified my emotions had to have been below the level they can detect, which in all honesty surprises me as I have never felt that level of hatred before in my life, but then again I did feel kind of numb during so maybe that's why. But that's beside the point, I worked out that wandless magic performed by an underage witch or wizard is undetectable unless there is a lot of emotion behind the act itself so to get to my point." He looked at them shrewdly taking in the slightly gobsmacked look on both their faces, "how much do you trust me?"

The twins in response to that then gave him an identical look of 'are you completely fucking stupid? What do you think you berk?' Harry chuckled, "okay, okay just had to be sure so you didn't freak out when I did this," he flicked his hands up towards their faces, and they felt a strange lightly burning tingle spread from their neck up to their scalp, both the older boys yipped slightly at the strange sensation, then the feeling vanished completely, "well what do you think?" Harry asked conjuring up a mirror for them, where their reflection should have been stood two complete strangers, one – Fred – had shoulder length dirty blonde hair, bright blue eyes and a slightly crooked nose, the other – George – had short cropped dark brown hair, hazel eyes and cherubic lips, they were both about the same height as always but that was the only thing that seemed remotely similar. They looked back at where Harry had been stood only to find a boy with light mousy brown hair, who had a strong jaw and nose, the only thing remaining of their friend was the unsettling green of his eyes. Smirking at them the boy asked "well now that's done shall we be off?"

"Shall we be off he says…"

"…as though what he just did is completely normal…"

"…as if that one act isn't enough to send most…"

"…wizards drooling at the amount of…"

"…bloody power that must have taken and all…"

"…so calmly done, bloody hell Harry…"

"…when did you know how and when…"

"…and bloody heck I don't know…"

"…what to even ask right now" they both looked at him with an absolutely exasperated look on their now, unfamiliar faces.

"well it's not something I'm going to advertise and it's not like we didn't have more important things to talk about when we actually got some alone time, and like I said I did some research and worked it out and I just really wanted something that can make us be able to go around without having to dodge every single time we might have seen someone we recognise." Harry stated calmly, then added, "Can we not talk about this right now, I'll answer questions after, I swear but right now I want to find the rest of the pack, I need them as much as I do you two."

"Okay little brother, we shall stop our grilling…"

"…as you have so kindly promised to…"

"…take care of our curiosity later, let us…"

"…search, and find our beloveds who…"

"…we have not seen in far too long whom…"

"…we also miss to a disturbing degree…"

"…gosh Gred who would've thought we would…"

"…become so emotionally attached to slimy slytherins…"

"…the shame" they chuckled, then linking arms with the still green eyed boy they started off around the alley, "…say how come your eyes…"

"…are still the same colour…"

"…as normal?"

"well in all honesty I don't know, I think and don't quote me on this, but I think it has something to do with my ruddy scar, that won't disappear either I just hid it with the hair, the only disguise that has worked fully is polyjuice, and that's because I would be fully shifting into someone else, and it's not just a cover up, when we used polyjuice second year my scar and my eyes were the first thing to change back Ron said, so yeah, that's about as much as I can gather from it." Harry then shrugged, "who knows, let's be honest I think me in general is one of the greater mysteries of the universe."

"Well I think it's something that…"

"…warrants some consideration, but…"

"…how about we leave that for another…"

"…day, as I can see slytherin sneers from…"

"…here, and if I'm not much mistaken…"

"…which is highly doubtful…"

"…I believe that dulcet condescending tone…"

"…we just heard is our very own Pans."

The small group sauntered over to where the group of slytherins were standing, as they got closer Pansy looked up her nostrils flared slightly as familiar scents hit her lupine senses, looking at the three she cocked her head in question and Harry looked straight into her eye, the killing curse green unmistakable, her face twitched, obviously having difficulty in suppressing the smile trying to take over her face she excused herself haughtily, linked her arm into Theo's who was stood close by and walked towards them she tilted her head to the right and they followed her into the shadow of the nearest shop, dragging a completely confused boy next to her.

As soon as they were covered in shadow she launched herself at all three, taking them and Theo completely aback, "I thought we wouldn't get to see you until the world cup, or school!" she kissed Harrys cheek and allowing a more wolfish act forth nuzzled into his neck, which she had to bend down slightly to do as she was a few inches taller.

"Okay what's going on Pansy?" he seemed to have clicked something but wanted to make sure before he made an idiot out of himself.

"Don't you recognise me Theo? I'm most insulted" Harry stated in mock indignation, a soft smile gracing his face as he looked up quite a lot higher from Pansy's dark hair, meeting his eyes to the slytherin boy's.

"Harry? Wow is that, that's some disguise you've got there brother," he grinned roguishly, and let me guess you've been staying with an infestation of red, these must be our own terrible terrors,"

"Wow I'm amazed by your…"

"…genius deduction, may we applaud…"

"…such a mind of such…"

"…cunning such…"

"…beauty such…"

"…there are no words…"

"…none whatsoever to describe such,.."

"…well, such density."

Theo swiped at both the twins, almost unbalancing himself at the force, "oh shut it both of you, and stop saying such, it's really quite annoying," he sniffed trying to regain his lost dignity, as both older boys snickered at him.

"How did you do the disguises like that though boys?" asked Pansy studying all their faces curiously,

"Nothing much," Harry started, but was interrupted by the twin terrors, (he rather liked that as a nickname)

"Yeah nothing much…"

"…just a touch of…"

"…wandless and…"

"…wordless magic…"

"… ya'know completely average." They looked down at the youngest boy with a mixture of love and sheer irritation, to which he just looked slightly sheepish.

"WHAT?" Pansy exclaimed in surprise, "you can do both? Together?" she groaned, "you just don't get how powerful that makes you do you?"

"So what?" he looked very uncomfortable now, "it's not that much of a big deal I just thought about changing our features and, well I just pushed my magic forward to do it,"

"Hang on, you mean you didn't even need a spell? No incantation in your mind at all?" asked Theo looking incredulously at him, and he wasn't the only one all the others were as well. "No one has ever been able to do that Harry, no I'm not joking with you," He stopped they boy interrupting him, "only accidental magic is remotely similar and even then not many can control what they do." He paused, looking at Harry seriously, "you get that don't you?"

"Well it's not like I asked to be this much of a freak," he huffed and sat down,

"No one here is saying that and I promise you if you say such a vile thing again about yourself ill hex you." Pansy stated bristling slightly. "You are simply powerful, we all knew that from the start, you're just more powerful that even we expected."

"I just don't get why me? It's not like I deserve this."

"You don't get it at all, if anyone deserves power it's you, if anyone deserves anything good and wonderful it's you." She punctuated the last you by bending down and poked him hard in his chest.

He looked up at her rubbing his chest, saw tears welling in her eyes and stood up and embraced her fully, he knew she was thinking of how they met, how they had helped each other the first time, and how they continued to help each other through the years, they were the first and they would always have that special connection, which was why when she looked at him like that and spoke with that conviction, he believed her completely.

"Pansy what on earth are you doing? And for that matter who are these people?" a smooth voice drawled from behind them making the entire group jump considerably, Draco Malfoy was stood right behind them, gazing at Pansy with bemused curiosity, one eyebrow highly arched as he took in the two embracing teenagers.

«×»«×»«×»

It took all of five seconds to recover the shock, but even that small amount of time had Draco suspicious, Pansy laughed lightly clearly surprised, "oh Drakey," she fake simpered, trying to cover, "this is my third cousins best friend, Lawrence Herlen they went to school together, I haven't seen him since last summer, you know when I went to Germany for the summer, I stayed with his family for a few weeks, we became quite close friends" she was reaching slightly and they all knew it, there was a very good chance that Draco would call them out on the bluff, she looked at Harry slightly desperately for assistance not that he was much help he still for some reason, had a rather dazed look on his face looking straight at Draco.

"I didn't know you met anyone noteworthy in Germany Pansy, I would have thought you would have shared that tidbit of information when you relayed all the other excruciating details," he arched his eyebrow sharply at her, Harry seemed to have recovered himself for he answered this time.

"I would think, my good sir, that had Pansy wished for our friendship to be common knowledge then she would have regaled you with tales of our exploits" he gave Pansy a wink that only she could see, "however my family is rather reclusive, we have been since that nasty war with Grindlewald. Therefore due to her very kindly respecting my families wishes she kept her peace, I would apologise for any awkward feelings between the two of you for my wish for privacy, I still have difficulty leaving the house a times due to my mother's delicate condition" He looked down as though ashamed, it was a good story after all most families who lived close to any of the recent wars shared similar tales, he hoped he would not be questioned about it and that Malfoy would let him leave it at that.

"I know I haven't mentioned him before Drakey, but he did beg me to not mention a word of himself or his family to anyone he was not directly acquainted to." Pansy was trying to stop herself from shaking, the lie might be a good one, but if he didn't believe her it could end badly for her.

"hmmm, I suppose it's not that shocking, though I am disappointed you did not confide in me before this." Draco looked Harry over making the smaller boys mouth dry out, "your eyes, I swear I've seen the like before, such a bright green," he seemed to drift slightly, speaking more to his self than to the others now.

"I think it's time we departed Lawrence," Fred stressed the name, "we should probably return before my brother misses us" Harry jolted at the reminder and was about to say his farewells when misfortune struck in the form of an arrogant red head.

"Look here, a group of slimy slytherins plotting to kill someone are you? Your father must be proud" Ron spat nastily,

"oh goody, my day is never complete without having an inbred rodent to insult and look two in one day, aren't I a lucky boy," Malfoy drawled smirking slightly, making Ron and Ginny splutter in a very unflattering manner, especially when you included the blotchy red they were both turning.

"How dare you," thundered the emotional red head, "your nothing but a disgusting death eater spawn"

"look weasel I would love to stay and trade barbs all day, and as much as I do love insulting you I do have better things to do so goodbye, we can continue this on the Hogwarts Express if you really want, might give you time to think up some insults that might actually do what they're intend for" he turned to Pansy and Theo, "come on you two, the others want to leave now," he gestured back to the rest of the slytherins who were waiting where Pansy had left them, he looked back to Harry's eyes, "I almost forgot in all the excitement" he turned around and walked back to the others with Pans and Theo, leaving a gawping Ron, who didn't seem to be able to speak anymore, he just about seem to manage a growl at the two girls that were with him and stomped off, Ginny and Hermione trailing behind him, both looking very unhappy.

"Well that was fun…" snickered one twin,

"…yes I agree, I think I like this…"

"…new and improved Malfoy…"

"…what do you think Harry?..."

"…Harry? You okay there?"

"wow, just, I mean," he didn't seem to be able to look away from the blondes retreating form, the other two looked at each other, smiles widening their faces,

"Well, isn't this an interesting development…" they both grabbed an arm.

"…come on lover boy, its time…"

"…to head back to the fray, you can…"

"…day dream about that pale arse as much…" Harry spluttered slightly,

"…as your heart…" they continued ignoring the younger boys reaction,

"…and other organs desire…"

"…but first I need you to…"

"…concentrate, think you can change…"

"…us back without damaging our gorgeous features?" they started laughing together at Harry's now bright red face, that was close to rivalling the firebox red Ron had just demonstrated.

"I don't, I mean he's not," then he groaned, "he's changed a lot since last time I saw him, how can someone change and look like, well like that it's not fair, I didn't have any sort of warning!" he exclaimed, before realising what he said and going an even more impressive shade of red. "I mean,"

Both the twins laughed again and started walking him back to where the dark alley lay, "it's okay little brother…"

"…we completely understand…"

"…he had a very delectable arse…"

"….and he's gotten a lot taller…"

"…and less pointy…"

"…so no one can blame you…"

"…for the sheer amount of drool we saw"

"I didn't drool!" Harry said indignantly,

"Denial…" said George sadly shaking his head in mock sorrow,

"…oh the shame, you should never…"

"…ever be embarrassed by your first real crush…"

"…hormones are a real bitch…"

"…they hit at the most inappropriate times…"

"…especially when you're in class and you suddenly get a case of wood..."

"…that is a bit tricky to hide even under loose robes…"

"…we know trust us"

"Right now I think I'd rather trust a dementor to give me a sloppy kiss than trust you!"

"How could you say such hurtful…"

"…things brother, we only saw that…"

"…lustful gaze and thought you might…"

"…like some advice and friendly ears to…"

"…talk to about those unsatiable…"

"…desires you've got going on there."

"You know what? I give up really and truly, I don't want to hear it and that's final or ill hex you with my new found powers, you won't be half so cocky with boils all over your face."

"Now, now little brother..."

"…easy, calm yourself…" the answering glare they both received was filled with the promise of pain and torture.

"…okay, okay we'll stop..."

"…for now," Harry groaned, resigning himself to his fate. Still he couldn't help but think that the image of Malfoy he currently had floating around in his brain might well be worth a few teasing comments, after all it wasn't every day you saw someone quite so edible looking. So with the thoughts of what on earth he was going to do now milling about, he absent mindedly flicked his hands up to the twins, he may or may not have included a 'slight' stinging sensation, they couldn't prove it any way.

A/N: Please let me know what you think I hope this was worth the wait, also some people private messaged me about this so I would like to invite others if you have any questions or heck even have an idea you want to share please do. It was nice to have communication with likeminded people.

Lots of love Jai xxx
