"It's so good to see you again All of you. Now let's see who's here. " Dumbledore seemed to turn without a care in the world as he looked over and faces one side of the room, "Ah yes we have Severus, " He turned the other way, "young Mr. Longbottom, Ms. Lovegood and Misters, Fred and George Weasely. Yes yes as it should be. " He turned to face forward again where Riddle was. "Tom, and.. Well Mr. Zabini and Mr. Malfoy, you do look rather different from the last time I saw you. " He tilts his head, seeming to be trying to figure out why they looked different. "And Young Harry.. Well I don't see him now, that's rather peculiar " Harry's shoulders were hunched as he seemed to be gathering his anger to push back but it didn't work.
"Peculiar..? I'll tell you what peculiar Dumbledore sir being in the same room as the man who killed my parents. " Harry had then pushed past Draco and Blaize pointing an accusing finger at the headmaster who looked surprised.
"Harry my boy, what happened to you? You look pale. " A snarl seemed to stir out of Draco who stepped forward next to his friend.
"Pale?! I'd look dead if I hadn't left that god forsaken house you stuck me at! Those people did nothing but hit me on a damn near daily basis and yet all you can think about is how 'It's for my safety' From WHO?! Definitely not from them " Harry could feel the wind around him gently pick up around his hair and shoulders as his anger raised.
"We were attacked, Blaize and I by werewolves and Harry by a vampire. We only got out alive because Harry told our attackers that we belonged to HIS ranks " Draco pointed his finger in the direction of Riddle who looked taken aback.
"Oh dear well that wasn't planned.. Well I'm quite sure while you're here you'll find ways to keep safe from, well, Harry's hunger and their nightly changes. I'm sure you'll grow accustomed to living together- "
"Together? " Harry cut in his sentence once more
"Well yes my dear boy, that's what I've summoned you here for. You nine seem to be the most causes of trouble in the wizarding world so I decided to put you all in the same housing so y- "
"No. Absolutely not. Look I don't know what type of crazy man idea's you have in your head but this is absolutely ridiculous " Harry stepped forward past the couch "If you think for a moment that I'm staying, that any of us are staying in a house for who knows how long with that madman there's something seriously wrong with you " Pure raw magic seemed to swirl around Harry for a moment before Draco placed a hand on his shoulder reminding him to take slow deep breaths.
"Well. I certainly am sorry that you think that way But I can assure you all of you will be safe. Professor Snape is here and - "
"Oh no headmaster, You will not loop me into this madness you are creating. " Snape snapped at Dumbledore who tried to gesture to him.
"Now Severus there is no need to be worried. I have it all under control. Now it is early in the morning but I think it'll do well for you all to see your rooms. Come! " He clapped his hands and the door behind Neville popped open making him jump and squeak as it nearly hit his head. Dumbledore grinned and gestured for everyone to go up stairs and earned an arrangement of sceptical, concerned and piercing gazes but slowly Harry took onto Draco and Blaizes hands before they slowly turned only for Draco to shout "DOWN " and the three of them to duck as a bright red bolt of light to shoot wall behind them.
Riddle stood the bright red glow of his eyes having returned as his wand was pointing at the three. Suddenly his wand seemed to be snatched out his hand and shot over to Dumbledore who smiled and shook his head.
"Now Tom, that's no way to treat your new roommates is it? " Gently he tossed the wand over to a cupboard which seemed to suddenly hold seven other wands. Draco patted his pocket while Blaize scowled,
"He took our wands "
"Very well seen Mr. Zabini. That drawer will not allow any of you to enter until you all have become acquaintances. But for now it'll say shut "
Harry seemed to have a spluttering moment as he gestured at Voldemort.
"HELLO? Dark Lord who's been trying to kill me for fourteen years and still desires to kill me! Do you really think he's just going to let me sleep without trying other ways to kill me? " Harry seemed to be trying to make sense but only was given a small shake of the head and a soft laugh.
"I'm sure you can put your differences aside " Dumbledore ushered a highly scared looking Neville up the stairs with an angry Fred, George and Luna in follow. Severus followed slowly after them and Harry waited until Riddle was on the stairs before the three went up together keeping their eyes on the man in case he decided to turn around and attack.
Once at the top of the stairs Dumbledore seemed to be doing a small tour of the doors. His hands were sweeping back and forth across the room gesturing from one door to another almost as if he was trying to sell them the house.
"This leads out back to the backyard, quite an easy way to reach the gardens and the basement, Severus, so you can continue your potioning. I've set up your own little potions lab down there along with extra space in case you want help. "
Snape sneered "I highly doubt I will.. "
Dumbledore ignored him and gestured to the right of the door. "A linen closet with a wonderful washing and drying build machine, I'm sure Harry can show you how they work. "
"I think i'd rather die " Harry sneered and stepped back when Riddle seemed to make an advancement
"I can arrange that quickly " Draco and Blaize pushed in front Harry glaring at Riddle.
"You'll get over it, Now over there you have a spare bathroom, and here we have your shared rooms where- "
"Shared? You expect us to Share rooms with THEM? How exactly are our rooms 'shared' if there's at least nine of us and, from the looks of it, three bedrooms? " Harry gestured at both Riddle and Snape and Dumbledore did nothing but shake his head.
"Well my boy " Harry snarled at the title, "I've already arranged who's staying with who. It's all quite simple rather; Fred is roomed with George and Draco, Blaize with Luna and Harry and finally Tom with Severus and Ne- "
"HAVE YOU BLOODY WELL LOST IT?! " Harry cut into the sentence the moment he realised where it was going. A vase near one of the doors shattered and Harry was practically shoving Dumbledore back with pure magic as Draco and Blaize held his arms to keep him back. His hair had started to float and fangs were now visible through his snarl. "Do you even have a brain behind that hideous mop of hair you have hm?! Does it make even a lick of sense to put Neville in the same room with Severus none the less the Bloody Dark Lord? Why shouldn't I just rip your head off where you stand! " Dumbledore took a step back and cleared his throat a shaky smile flickering on his lips.
"My boy i'm sure you don't mean that " Harry practically spit venom as he hissed his eyes bright gold with speckles of green in them and the table the broken vase was on caught fire which licked at the mans over eccentric robes and he spoke faster,
"But I can see that emotions are running high right now so I'm going to get out of your lots hair, have fun and please do try not to kill each other! " He disappeared with a loud pop leaving the half shocked group to gape at the enraged Harry who didn't seem to be calming down.
"Neville. " His voice was sharp but seemed to soften a little bit when speaking to his friend who only squeaked a little bit at being addressed.
"Y-Yes harry? "
"You take my room with Luna and Blaize, Blaize won't hurt you plus you already know Luna, I can promise that much. " Slowly the fire on the table faded out and left a slightly charred stump. Neville looked grateful and nodded before hurriedly dipping into the shared room. Luna followed after whispering something about "Fight the nargles while in there for you " and Blaize slowly let go of Harry's arm giving Draco a worried look before lightly hugging them both and following Luna, who held the door open to him, into the room.
"Well Feorge, It appears our little brother is old enough to stand up for his friends now. " George wiped away his fake tear while Fred nodding in agreement,
"I agree Gred. Now we as well should prepare our rooming with a certain little Slytherin. From what I know his bed has yet to be made " They snickered and dipped into their room across from Neville's before Draco let go of Harry in a hug and darted after them.
"Don't you dare touch my bed you Lions! " There were sounds of popping as soon as the door shut and paint splattered under the door in a bright pink.
Harry couldn't seem to even crack a smile at the prank the two seemed to have already done as he stood there silently in front of the door leading to his own shared room. He pushed open the door and gazed around the dark grey walls with green floors. He could figure out whose bed belonged to whom as his own bed was made with bed covers that had lion print on them and his trunk sat at the edge of it. It was almost like it was based on Gryffindor's dorm room. Or maybe a hotel room.
Either way Harry knew he wasn't sleeping in the room anyway. He walked over to his bed which was on the far right and picked up one of the two pillows pulling off the atrocious cover off it before tucking it under his arm and turning to see Snape standing off to the side, scowling into the room from in front of his own bed on the far left which left the Dark Lord's bed in centre. The man himself however seemed to be hovering just inside the doorway of the room seeming to be staring at Harry rather, unnervingly. Harry snarled at him and brushed past him to go back down stairs back to where the chairs and couches were and he sat onto the carpet tucking the pillow onto one of the chairs. He must have dozed off because he was startled awake at the sound of a tapping on the window which now showed light. He twisted around putting his back to the door before gasping at the sight of who was at the window,
"Hedwig! " Quietly he scrambled to his feet and moved to the window, opening it as she gently floated in and landed on his shoulder gently nipping at his ear.
"How'd you find me sweet girl? " She shifted and seemed to puff out her feathers and he lightly laughed, "I guess you can find me anywhere huh, Come one it's early I should start on breakfast for.. " he stopped talking and shuddered at the thought of eating at the same table with Riddle and Snape.
"I'll make you some bacon too " She cooed and he smiled moving to the door he remembered Dumbledore said was the kitchen and pushed it open.
