Dumbledore sat in his office contemplating the latest development in the Harry situation. It was now obvious that Harry had found his full pack, which was good. It gave him the perfect way to manipulate Harry into finally defeating the thorn in his side, Voldemort. There were complications, however. He couldn't get within speaking distance of the child without him vanishing or fainting. He would also have to get past the child's pack. And lastly there was the boy's mental state to keep in mind.

Yes, he knew about Harry's attempted suicide. There were wards on the castle that alerted him of this and another that showed him what was happening. When he had seen the Malfoy child enter the bathroom and heal Harry there was no question that the blond was Harry's mate. After that Remus, Severus, and Narcissa entered and huddled around the two teens. Dumbledore had not even known Remus was in the castle, but now knew he was the mother figure for Harry.

Harry had two Slytherins in his pack and was now one himself. This was not good. Harry was already too Slytherin for comfort and now he had the most influential Slytherins living with him. Dumbledore would have to find a way to prevent Harry from drifting off the path carefully laid in front of him. Maybe he should enlist the help of Harry's Gryffindor "friends". The ones he planted just in case something like this happened.

Little did Dumbledore know, Harry had been growing away from his friends for quite some time. Harry was further out of reach than the old man knew.

*~tiiiiime juuuuump~*

"Do I have to ride the train? I'm already at school", Harry whined while trying to brush his long hair.

"I'm afraid so, child. Dumbledore's orders", Severus replied. He was none too happy with this situation either.

"He thinks it will help you get used to so many people being around and being away from us. You will still have Draco there though", Remus said trying to reason with Harry.

Harry sighed in resignation. "I know but I still can't stand that old coot. He is not who he pretends to be. There is something extremely dark hidden behind that grandfatherly act", he said a bit cryptically.

"It's time to leave Harry. We need to get there early. Remember we are sitting with the Slytherins", Draco stated.

"Are we still sure that is safe", Harry asked, still wary of them even though he had been told how none of the Slytherins wanted to follow a madman.

"It is not the Slytherins we should be worried about, but rather the Gryffindors. They are not known for being open minded", Severus pointed out. Harry sighed and nodded, knowing they were right.

"Let's just get this over with", Harry said. After receiving the okay from Harry, Remus grabbed him and Severus grabbed Draco and the four apperated to Platform 9 3/4. Narcissa stayed behind, not wanting to draw even more attention to the group.

When they arrived, the four immediately headed for the train. Remus and Severus could not ride the train with them but were going to stay as long as they could. The pack made its way to the back of the train to the last compartment on the left. This is where they were to meet with the other Slytherins in about ten minutes.

Harry spent the time with his pack between Remus and Severus since he would not see them for hours. The trip to Hogwarts was going to be difficult without his 'parents' support, he just hoped he didn't have to face Ron and Hermione yet. Those two were getting on Harry's last nerve. They just had to know everything and it was infuriating.

The compartment door opened and the other sixth year Slytherins entered. No one said anything, they just came in, sat down, and waited for their head of house to explain what they needed to know. Severus quickly gave them a crash course in everything about the situation, and all the students confirmed that they understood.

"I must leave now, as the other students are arriving. I will see you all at Hogwarts", this last part was directed mostly at Harry. The boy, of course, flung himself at Severus, hugging the man tightly. After hugging him back, Severus lightly pushed him to Remus for a hug, then the two left.

Harry turned to face the other members of the compartment. "Err... hi", he said hesitantly. No one had spoken and it was bothering him. Harry decided to check their emotions and what he discovered was mostly curiosity. Finally someone spoke.

"So you're a snake now? What happened to being Gryffindors Golden Boy", asked a boy named Blaise Zabini. It was a very Slytherin question Harry decided trying to discretely figure out why Harry Potter was now a Slytherin.

"I was always supposed to be a Slytherin. Dumbledore is a manipulative bastard and made me believe all Slytherins were evil", Harry answered, openly showing his dislike of the old man. "No more questions though. I have a feeling I will be dealing with a few pissed off Gryffindors later."

The Slytherins nodded and Harry went to sit next to Draco. And of course ended up in his lap, purring. The Myrmidon knew its other pack members were not here and so it couldn't help but sit on its mate's lap. The other Slytherins sat tense and waiting for Draco to explode. However Draco just chuckled and wrapped his arms around the smaller boy, thoroughly confusing his class mates. They had only been informed that Potter was a magical creature, but not what he was. Severus had deliberately left those details for Harry to tell.

Harry turned his head to look at the others in the compartment. "I will explain everything later", he said simply, and turned his face back to Draco, who in response kissed his forehead.

Everyone sat in silence for about fifteen minutes before the compartment door flew open. Everyone turned to see Hermione Granger and a very pissed off Ron Weasley enter the compartment. "WHAT THE HELL, HARRY", Ron shouted getting redder by the second.

"Hi, Ron."

A/N: here is the chapter! HereJust take it! My head feels like someone is stabbing it repeatedly. I is hard to write when your head hurts too much to function. I tried posting this last night but it seems to be geeking.
