Harry woke the next morning and felt amazing. He could also see without his glasses . He turned his head and beamed brightly sitting up. He moved onto his legs and stared. Aries was asleep in a chair next to his bed. He looked so perfect. He just sat there and watched him he was entranced.
"Awake i see." Severus frowned when Harry didn't respond then came farther into the room and over to the bed. He rolled his eyes to see that Aries was sleeping there and Harry was staring with him. "Mr. Potter!"
Harry blushed brightly as Aries jumped awake to see him staring at him. He turned to see Severus. Who set down both of their backpacks.
"I said good morning. "
"G-Good M-morning." Harry said, staring hard at the bed. " Th-Thank y-you for helping m-me."
"Ugh." Severus growled, "He's a stutterer. "
"He's just nervous, Professor. " Aries said, taking Harry's schedule. "I'll walk him to Charms then."
"Breakfast first." Severus snapped making Harry shrink into Aries side. He sighed and ground his teeth he needed to watch himself if he didn't want to scare the boy more. "Mr. Potter...Harry..." Harry was dressed and clinging to Aries, He blinked at Severus. " You will need to take a potion at breakfast. It is a nutrition potion and will help you heal from your abuse. "
"O-... " Harry stared back at the ground his cheeks red. "Yes, sir..."
"Good boy." Severus found himself saying. The smile he got was worth it. "Now hurry down to breakfast. "
Harry nodded. The two of them went down to breakfast. Aries kept his arm around Harry. By now it was around the school that he had declared that Harry was his Soul Mate. Sure enough people watched as they walked into the Hall. Severus was behind them and followed them to the Slytherin table then up to the Head Table. Harry took his potion and Aries made sure his young mate ate all he could with out getting sick.
Aries ran his fingers through Harry's newly grown hair. It was thicker and longer than his old hair from the glamour.
"I think they used too much of that hair grow stuff. " he chuckled, Harry looked up at him blushing, " but I like it."
"Okay." Harry said simply. "Then I'll grow it out."
"Just because I said i like it?"
"Yep." Harry stated, smiling shyly. Then blushed brightly. He stared back down at the table. "S-sorry..."
A few people, mostly girls, were giggling at Harry.
"I think that's so sweet." A fifth year girl said, from across from them . "That's why we're giggling not to embarrass anyone. " Harry nodded. "Oh, we've got to get to class!"
"I'm walking Harry to Charms go with out me."
"I'll come with !" she declared, she grabbed Harry's hand and shook it as they left the Great Hall. " Nice to meet you, Harry. I'm Seria Lestrange. "
"H-Hello..." Harry said, meekly. He shrank into Ari's side.
"He's so cute." Seria laughed, "You're so lucky, Aries."
They finally reached class to see the first year Slytherin's and Gryffindor's.
"Okay, here's your Charms class." Ari said , to Harry, "Have fun and trust me when I say to write everything down. "
"O-Okay." Harry said, "H-have a g-good c-class."
"You too! " Seria said, brightly, "and remember don't play with any little Gryffindors until you know if they'll be nice to you or not. "
"Kay." Harry nodded. Aries kissed Harry's head. Then waved and walked off.
Harry walked into class and looked around finding a seat. The first year Slytherin's sat around him. Harry's face was redder than Ron's hair. Said red head walked over glaring at the other Slytherin's he smiled at Harry..
"Hey, Harry, why dont you come sit with me?"
"N-n-no...Th-Th..." Harry tucked his hair behind his ear. "n-no...Th..."
"he doesn't want to , Weasel. " Draco stated, "Isn't that right, Potter?" Harry gave him a grateful look and nodded his head. "See? Now leave us alone. "
"Harry's my best mate of course he wants to sit by me." Ron growled.
"N-N-N-N..."
"He isn't your friend." Draco scoffed, "ARe you Potter?" Harry shook his head rapidly. "See? You can't just declare that without Potter knowing anything about it!" Harry nodded, rapidly. "Professor, "Draco said, raising his hand as Flitwick came in. " Weasley is annoying Potter."
"Is that true , Mr. Potter?" Flitwick asked.
"Y-Y-Y-Y..." Harry stared at the desk then nodded. "Y..."
"He's a stutterer." Draco said, as calmly as he could. "it'll take forever to get an answer." Harry gave him a pained looked. " Either shake or nod your head , Potter, is Weasley bothering you?"
Harry nodded rapidly.
"Mr. Weasley go to the other side of the room. " Ron stomped off. Everyone watched Harry sigh and slump in his seat in relief. "Now please get out your writing materials we will be taking notes."
"Don't worry, Potter. " A girl said from his other side. She gently touched Harry's arm. "I'm Pansy Parkinson and we've got your back."
"Th...Th..."
"You're welcome." Draco cut in. It was clear that he was heading off Harry trying to stutter his way through a Thank You. "Just focus."
Harry took diligent notes. Writing as much down as he could. Pansy was soon correcting his posture and his grip again. Aries was waiting when class let out.
Harry bounded up to him followed by Draco and Pansy.
"Weasel is annoying Potter in class." Pansy informed Aries and Seria.
"Also Potter stutters. " Draco cut in. " it makes it impossible to get an answer. We had to sit through a ten minute stutter fest to get an answer in class."
"S-S-s..."
"Stop!" Draco scolded, "You're giving me a headache. "
"Don't yell at him!" Aries growled, they were walking toward History of Magic. "Now in this class you'll want to self study and don't worry you wont have to answer questions. You can take notes but his voice will probably lull you to sleep. "
Harry nodded leaning into Aries. He was already exhausted. Everyone in class had been wincing everytime he stuttered but he couldn't help it. He was scared and couldn't figure out why. Okay, that was a lie. He was scared because he expected everyone around him to hurt him like his family had. He got another kiss on the head when Aries left them at the door.
