Chapter One

Harry laughed as Harvey tickled him. A week had passed and today, Nate was coming, along with his younger brother. Harry gasped for breath along with his friend as a throat was cleared. The emerald eyed boy flushed guiltily as he looked up. A set of blonde men stood there with eyebrows raised.

"Glad to see I'm missed. I think I'll go back to-" The man was cut off as Harvey tackled him.

"Nate!" The other students that were outside watched as a man, at least twenty-five, kissed their new classmate. "I've missed you so much! Come meet my best friend, Harry. Harry, this is my mate, Nathan." Harry snickered before giving the man a smile.

"It's nice to meet the man that can handle this kid."

"Hey! I'm older than you!"

"Really? I just thought you were monstrously tall." The two laughed. "I'm Harry Potter. He's probably complained about me not writing, hasn't he? I didn't mean to hurt him. We just lost contact because of a misunderstanding. It's nice to meet you, Mr. Bishop."

"Please, you're like family to my mate. Call me Nathan at least." He insisted. "This is my brother Elias." Green eyes locked with mercury and Harry lost his breath. "Eli?"

"Um...I-" the man shook his head. "Hello, it's nice to meet you." Harry shivered, eyes wide. Then horror shown on his face as he backed up.

"Harry?"

"I'm sorry!" With that, Harry spun on his heel and ran from the area. Harvey sent his mate an apologetic look before following. He found him beside a sycamore tree. "I'm sorry."

"No, Harry you have no reason to be sorry. They're veela, of course you're going to feel attracted to them. It's nothing to feel ashamed about."

"But I'm not-"

"We both know that's a lie. Harry, what those men did to you was wrong, but you have to continue on. Show them they didn't break you."

"I know, Harvey. I know that. It doesn't make it easy. With you, I can stand you touching me, because I trust you with my life. I can't stand anyone else touching me though. At least, another guy. I just want to be normal, but I can't, Harvey. Every time I turn around a new problem with Voldemort or the Dursleys arrive. I'd give anything not to be the hero anymore, Harvey. Anything, but my life and to be a sexual toy. I just want to be Harry."

"I know, Harry." Harvey sighed as he wrapped an arm around Harry's shoulders. "One day, you'll find the perfect guy, and he'll do everything he can to help you."

"Yeah, in my dreams."

"I think he may be closer than you think." Harvey said, spotting his mate and the man's brother watching in worry.

"Here in Hogwarts? You're joking, right? None of the students here care pass the houses."

"Not a student."

"The teachers-"

"Just forget I said something for right now. Come on, I want you to get to know Nate."

"Okay." Harry let his friend drag him up to the men, where they lead the two to Claire's rooms. Harry threw his arms around the woman the second he saw her.

"I still can't believe you guys are here." The black haired teen whispered from where his head rested on her shoulder.

"Wow, he's tiny. Makes you want to cuddle the boy close." Nate whispered, but Harry caught it. He blushed then glared at the man.

"Shuddup. I'm not short!"

"Harry, luv, I'm taller than you." Claire said, mirth present. Harry scowled at her, crossing his arms as he pulled away. "Nate, Elias, it's wonderful to see you."

"Mrs. Shiloh." Elias said, smiling.

"Mum." Nate greeted, giving her a hug. "I was so worried when the attack happened and you and Harvey disappeared. I felt his pain." Harvey winced, "why were Death Eaters in America?"

"My fault." Harry said, looking into the fire. "Voldemort and I have a mind link. It allowed him to see Harvey and I playing. He saw he was in the states with his mum. I saw him being tortured for two hours before I could get to Dumbledore and get help."

"Harry, it isn't your fault. He's a bastard. You did nothing wrong."

"But I can't close my mind off to him. I can block Sev'rus perfectly." Harry sniffed. "I can't block him because of my bloody scar! The only thing I can do for sure is tell the differences between reality and a fake vision."

"Harry, we will find a way to close him off, but it'll take time. I might have to look into my advanced runes book. I know there are mind protection ones." Claire soothed, hugging the boy from behind. "My poor sweet little boy. It's going to be okay. You'll see. This war will be over before you know it."

"Why does everything almost always has to be solved with violence? I hate it. I had enough before Hogwarts, and I fight for my life every year. Remus didn't mean to be a problem, but he didn't take wolfsbane."

"Who is Remus?"

"He's my honorary godfather. He taught us in my third year."

"Oh dear..."

"That's when I found out about Sirius and Pettigrew. The next year Voldemort came back." Eventually, the group got Harry to recite everything that had happened to him during his schooling. When he got to the chamber, Claire was horrified.

"A basilisk? You killed a basilisk?"

"It nearly killed me too. If it wasn't for the headmaster's phoenix, I wouldn't have made it." Harry pulled up his sleeve, revealing a star-burst scar on the inside of his elbow. Elias stared at his arm numbly. It made Harry squirm. "I think we can save the rest for another day. I'm heading to bed. You should stay to talk with your mate, Harvey."

"Okay. Are you sure you can make it back on your own?"

"Positive. If I can face Voldemort, the students here will be nothing." Once he was gone Harvey sighed.

"This isn't fair mum. He shouldn't have to go through this. Not the sweet little boy I grew up with. He would do anything but kill and dark magic for a family. Speaking of which. You need to be careful, Eli. Harry's been abused in a lot of ways. You have to take it easy with him. Okay?" The man nodded. With a nod back, Harvey lead Nate into his room inside his mum's rooms.
