'Thoughts'

[Kitten speech]

New Friend

Fay walked to Harry's room. She was hoping that Neville and him would be great friends. She knew that he would need friends his own age. He couldn't always hang around with adults or be alone.

She opened the door and made her way over to the bed that Harry was curled up in. She gently shook his shoulder.

"Harry darling, it is time for lunch." Harry's eyes opened before he sat up and rubbed them.

"Okay." She smiled at the young neko and picked him up, causing him to cuddle into him.

"There are some guests here. One is an old friend of mine and the other is her grandson. Her name is Augusta Longbottom and her grandson is Neville Longbottom." Harry nodded his head. "Neville is the same age as you and when lunch is over I was hoping he could play with you in your room."

"Can I play with him? Aunt Petunia said that freaks aren't allowed to play with anyone." Fay quickly hid her anger at the information Harry slipped her.

"Harry, you are not a freak. Of course you can play with Neville. First we have to eat lunch." She said.

"Okay." She carried him the whole way before setting him in a chair on her right and filled his plate with the food that was on the list that Severus gave her.

Augusta smiled at the young neko while Neville looked at him confused. "Augusta, Neville, this is Harry. He is a neko which means that he is part cat." Neville nodded now that he knew why he had ears and a tail. "Harry, this is my friend Augusta and her grandson Neville."

"Hello Harry." Augusta said.

"Hi." Neville said after his grandmother.

"Hello." Harry replied nervously.

They ate their food with only the adults talking to each other. Harry was too nervous to eat and Neville wasn't sure what to do besides eat. When lunch was over Fay led them to Harry's room.

"Harry has agreed to play with Neville in his room while we go to the Study." Augusta nodded.

Fay made sure that a house elf would watch them before the two left and went to the Study. Harry and Neville looked at each other for a few minutes before Harry broke the silence.

"Would you like to color?" He asked.

"Sure." He nodded his head.

Harry grabbed some coloring books, paper, and crayons and placed them on the table and sat down. Neville sat down once Harry started to color in one of the books. Neville grabbed a piece of paper before he started to draw on it.

(With Fay and Augusta)

Fay poured her and Augusta a drink before she sat down. "Minerva McGonagall will be here this weekend." Fay sipped her drink before continuing. "She wants to see Harry to make sure he is truly alive as well as discuss where he will go to school for his education. I must admit that I hadn't thought about it yet."

"Don't be too hard on yourself, Fay." Augusta told her friend. "You have just gotten custody of him. I believe talking to her will help with placing him in the best school for him."

"You're right as always Augusta." She said.

They both took sips of their drinks. "I will be doing the same. I don't want Neville going to Hogwarts if Dumbledore is the headmaster. Knowing him by the time Neville is eleven Dumbledore will still be in charge."

"That man has too much power." Fay hissed. "People blindly follow him and I just can't stand it."

"People who see through him can't stand it. Unfortunately there are more people who blindly follow than those who are against him." She stated.

"I know. Hopefully he will fall." She said.

"He will. I have a feeling your son will make sure he pays for hurting his mate. Plus the fact that Minerva was one of those who followed him blindly and now she doesn't. If more people found out he would lose power." She told her.

Fay smirked. "Hopefully people will find out that the death eaters didn't kill his relatives, he did."

"WHAT!" Augusta gasped in shock.

"Dumbledore was paying them to abuse him but never to the point of death. He found out that Harry was beaten and believes that he is dead. He killed them for 'killing' him." She informed her friend.

Soon the two began to plot Dumbledore's demise. They wanted him gone.

(Harry and Neville)

Harry and Neville were unaware of what the adults were planning. Instead they had switched from coloring to picture books. Neville was teaching Harry the different plants in the book that he knew.

The green eyed boy listened quietly as Neville talked. He liked that the other boy wanted to teach him. His aunt and uncle told him that freaks were stupid and weren't allowed to learn. No one in Private Drive knew about his existence so they weren't going to send him to school.

"What is this?" Harry asked as he pointed to the plant's pedal on the left.

Neville looked and saw that he was pointing to the red pedal. "This plant is very rare since it has one pedal that is red while the rest are white. This plant is called fairy rose. The red pedal is where flower fairy babies are born. The white gives flower fairies their magic." He explained, causing Harry to nod.

"How do you know so much about plants?" He asked.

Neville blushed. "My uncle is a herbologist and there is a greenhouse back home."

"Where do you live? In France?" He asked.

"In London." Harry nodded and Neville continued on with the book.

That was how Fay and Augusta found them. Neville was explaining a plant and Harry was on his stomach listening with all his attention. Augusta watched her grandson and realized that he wasn't his father but a boy all his own so if he was interested in plants then she was going to encourage it from now on. Fay on the other hand was glad that Harry had a new friend.

Unfortunately it was time for dinner and then Neville and Augusta had to go back home. "Children, dinner is ready." They watched as the boys nodded before Neville put away the book and they both stood up and walked over to them.

Augusta and Fay watched as the two blabbered on about plants and to their surprise magical creatures and animals. They were amused as they made wild and clumsy hand gestures and made child mess ups of some of the words.

When dinner was over Neville and Harry said goodbye to each other. "Don't worry you two, you will see each other next weekend. Harry, how would you like to have Neville sleep over then?" Augusta asked the young neko.

"Really?" Both boys asked excitedly and hopefully.

"Yes."

"I would love it very much madam." He said.

"You can call me Augusta dear." Harry nodded and watched as they disappeared through the fireplace.

Harry turned to Fay. "Fay before bed may I write a letter to Lucas and tell him about my new friend?"

"Of course." Fay and Harry went into Harry's room.

The blonde grabbed the necessary supplies while Harry cleaned up his room. He then sat down at the table and Fay helped him write the letter before she bathed him, helped him get dressed, and tucked him into bed. She then grabbed a book and read it to him. She kissed his head, grabbed the letter and left the room to go send it off.

(Lucas at Davet cottage)

Lucas had just gotten home from work. Unlike his mother he had become a herbologist. He owned the largest and most successful greenhouses in France. He sold plants to apothecary shops, potion masters, hospitals, schools and apprentice herbologists. He even sold some of his safe plants to wizards and witches for their gardens. His best customer was Severus.

Since it was the beginning of school he had been kept busy between schools all over the world and apothecary shops. He sat down when he saw his mother's owl sitting on an owl perch in the living room. He made his way over and grabbed the letter. As always the owl flew off.

Lucas opened the letter and read it.

Dear Lucas,

Fay is helping me write this letter. Guess what? I have made a new friend today. His name is Neville Longbottom. He knows a lot about plants like you do. He is the first person besides Severus, Fay, and you who wanted to be my friend. Uncle Vernon told me that Freaks can't have friends and cousin Dudley scared away anyone who came close to me. Fay told me I wasn't a freak and that means that I can have friends. I wish that I could see you but I know that you are busy so I hope that I can see you soon. I have to go to bed now so goodnight.

Love,

Harry.

Lucas smiled and summoned parchment and his quill. He wrote a letter to both Harry and his mother before he sent them off with Angel. He planned on visiting after Harry settled in but decided to visit sooner. He didn't want to be away from his mate for long periods of time even if he was only four years old. Since Harry was young he only felt the need to protect and make happy. He was glad that his mother was watching after his little neko so he knew that nobody was going to harm him. Lucas ate his dinner before he went to bed.
