Chapter 15

Harry started firing curses everywhere before anyone knew what was happening, and none of them were nice. He had learned a lot from Severus over the time he had been learning with him, so you could guess what they were having to shield themselves from. Severus heard crashing and banging from the top of the ship, going up, wondering what was going on. Fearing that they had been caught, however, the sight that met his eyes was not what he expected.

It was Harry who was cursing his crew and people who are like sons to him, he didn't know why he was acting that way, and after all he had told Harry he was sending someone. He knew Harry would not hurt someone without reason, so he yelled.

"Harry!" There was more surprise still in his voice than anything.

"You, so you're a Death Eater, after all." said Harry, looking very disappointed indeed.

"What are you on about?" asked Severus, ducking to dodge a curse flying his way, coming back up, he missed the look of pain on Harry's face.

"Well what else do you want me to think, sending Draco fucking Malfoy of all people!" snapped Harry.

"How can you recognize him!" asked Crabbe in wonder.

"Of course he will be defensive, my golem and all the others are Death Eater wannabee's." said Draco. He, however, didn't like the fact that the boy had recognized him, he didn't like to think he was anything like the other boy or should he say his golem.

"Thanks for telling but it's a bit late for that!" snapped Severus, realizing he should have just gone for Harry himself.

"Harry, calm down, Draco Malfoy could not have changed this much in just one summer." said Ginny, stopping her own spells for the moment.

"Potions can make anything happen." snapped Harry, he was not stupid.

"I know, but the muscle! It can't have grown over night!" said Ginny.

"Ginny, Muggles can get things to do that over time, I'm sure wizards can." snapped Harry, still firing curses.

"Do you trust me so little?" asked Severus hurt, and this caused Harry to pause, perhaps he could just hear them out.

"No, I trusted you better than anyone," said Harry looking at Severus.

"Then trust me now, no one here is a Death Eater, I swear." said Severus sighing, thankful that Harry had stopped his cursing.

"Fine, what are they doing here?" said Harry sitting down, breathing heavily. He had not half used half of his magic to curse them. No one was hurt thankfully; Draco was good with his magic. He had mostly dodged them all, only shielding when it was necessary.

"This here, is Draco, you have never met him before…" however, before Severus could continue.

"Of course I've met him, a hell of a lot more than I ever wanted to meet anyone in my life." snapped Harry angrily.

"Wow, I didn't know my twin was that bad." said Draco.

"Twin? As in brother?" asked Harry disbelief in his voice.

"No, it's not like that Harry, I want to speak to you alone, explain everything. Draco, go and show Ginny around the ship." said Severus, authority lacing his voice. Draco just nodded and led Ginny out of the room. Harry didn't say anything, knowing Ginny could defend herself if needed be. She had a great powerful bat bogey hex, mind you he would have liked to seen her using it.

-------------------------------------------------0

"Why was his twin not brought up with his brother?" asked Harry immediately.

"To explain this I want you to keep quiet and I will answer any questions you have after I have finished." Said Severus.

"Ok," said Harry.

Severus sat down next to Harry, somehow not as glad to see him as he usually was. He then sat in thought wondering how he should explain everything, deciding to start from where it all began. He started talking,

"When I had just left school, I had the best marks in Defense and Potions; I had just made a potion that would help with my vampire instincts. It stopped me from wanting blood, and being able to go out in the sun without protection, I was no longer burnt every time I went outside." Said Severus.

Harry just nodded, unsure to where this was going.

"One day I got the surprise of my life, a Death Eater came up to me, with an offer to join them. It was join or die, but they didn't think I would do as I did. I was a Slytherin and I acted like one, only not the way Voldemort liked.

"I ran, taking my brother with me, also a bunch of children, a mother and a daughter. I took their children yes, but I also saved them from a life of hell and torment as well as abuse. That Draco you saw is the real Draco, I kidnapped when he was just a babe." said Severus.

Harry frowned, the real Draco, did that mean the one he knew was a fake? He was not sure what is going on. A million questions were going of inside his head, pushing them aside; he concentrated on listening to Severus. This, by the way, was not hard to do, with the voice the man had.

"I don't know what the Death Eaters did when they realized their heir was gone, but I can assume they probably kidnapped children and adopted them, through dark magic. They probably didn't want it getting out that their heir had been kidnapped, in their manor which was extremely well protected. They knew Voldemort would kill them, so they went and did what they needed to do."

Harry nodded his head shocked with the new information.

"When we got back, they were shocked as well as I that there was children going around looking like them, and with their names, we also have information that the Ministry had been looking for them since they were eleven. Probably when the mothers found out, that it was not their real sons. Their Hogwarts acceptance letters had their real and adopted name on them. Most of this is just a guess so wither that is what happened, I'm not sure." said Severus.

"Did they know you had kidnapped them?" asked Harry.

"Yes, from when they were old enough to understand, but they didn't care, I brought them up to make up their own minds, also they were brought up knowing magic, and they have been doing it ever since. Draco, however, has a wand, which was pure luck really. Now do you believe me?" asked Severus.

Even knowing he had done it, it sounded weird coming from his own mouth. Harry must have thought he was out of his god damn mind. Sighing he lay there, simply enjoying the closeness he had with Harry.

"Yes, sounds unbelievable though." said Harry a smirk on his face, Severus found himself smirking too.

"Tell me about it, now are you ready to be shown the ship?" asked Severus.

"I've never been on a boat before." said Harry, somewhat timidly, so not like him or the Slytherin he was.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen, would you like to meet the others? They have all heard about you, heard me talking about you." said Severus, not the least bit embarrassed. However, Harry was totally embarrassed; he turned an interesting shade of red.

Severus had to smirk at that, again, he could not help but think, 'I cannot wait until I take him, he is so gorgeous and innocent, one thing for sure it was defiantly worth the wait and coming back for.'.

"I'd love to meet them, and apologize to Draco." said Harry; he was surprised how easy it was to get over the hate at the person he had thought was Draco Malfoy.

"Good, I'm glad, they are all like sons to me and I would love you getting on," said Severus smiling meaning every word he said.

"I would not let anything get in the way of our friendship." said Harry smiling, Severus groaned.

It was pure torture, how could someone do something like that to him. Give him a totally innocent and totally unaware lover. It was just going to be all the sweeter when the time came to take him. One day he would, nothing would stop him, not Voldemort, not the Ministry and certainly not Dumbledore.

"Come on then." said Severus, quicker they got everyone introduced the better. That way he can go to his room, and find some peace quiet and release.

"Yeah, are we continuing our training?" asked Harry curiously.

"Of course we are." said Severus, at least then he had a reason to see Harry every day. He didn't think he could cope with having Harry beside him all day every day; he didn't want to scare him.

"Sev, Harry will need to share your room, Ginny has already claimed the only spare room we have." shouted Draco.

"What! Just magic another one then." shouted Severus back, this could not be happening. It just could not, how on earth was he supposed to cope with this! It's utterly ridiculous.

"Its fine, I can sleep in yours." said Harry, not wanting to cause a fuss.

"It's a girl, girls don't share room with men." said Draco sweetly.

Severus growled low in his throat, knowing Draco had more than likely set this up. Sighing, he knew there was no way around it, not without hurting someone's feelings. That someone, was Harry, he didn't want the boy to think that Severus didn't want him there. He knew Harry didn't understand or know why Severus didn't want this.

"Fine, come on then, let's get your trunk in my room" said Severus shaking his head, glairing daggers at Draco, who was now smirking.

"I don't mind sleeping on the floor you know, anything is better than Grimmauld Place, or the Dursley's." said Harry.

Severus smiled; the clincher was, Harry really didn't mind, Harry was really a sweet young man. Anyone would be proud of having such a mate, but he was Severus' and he was proud anyway.

"It's ok, Harry you can sleep in my bed, I will conjure a sofa." said Severus.

"Oh, no I can't do that! Its your bed after all, is it big? We could just share it." suggested Harry, when Severus had nodded.

"That is rather inappropriate." said Severus.

"What do you mean?" said Harry, Severus didn't see the mischief in Harry's eyes; seemed Harry was not so innocent after all.

"Um…two men sharing is not proper." said Severus nearly choking.

"Oh, why? Isn't it supposed to be a girl and boy that's inappropriate?" asked Harry, his green eyes alight with laughter, Severus had yet to look up so didn't see it.

"Uh...it doesn't matter, you can sleep where you want." said Severus shaking his head, boy this was getting ridiculous.

Only when he heard a snigger did he look up, his jaw dropped in shock, and he had been playing him. It also thought it was the first time he had heard Harry laugh like that.

"Got ya." said Harry still sniggering,

"You're a pexy little bugger, do you know that, you almost had me." said Severus, smiling as he watched Harry laugh.
