Not much happened in charms, Harry would get nasty side eyes from Ron and Hermione but it didn't bother him much as he sat by Neville. Thankfully it was the last lesson of the day so Harry was able to go straight to his dorm while avoiding Ron and Hermione with the shadows.

The dull pain he felt a few days ago on his left shoulder has appeared on his right shoulder half way through charms, it made it harder to concentrate and honestly Harry is happy to be able to get out of there.

Harry stepped out of the shadow in his dorm's living room and sighed, he felt exhausted and it's the first full day of lessons, it's making him want to already drop out for a second time.

Harry rubbed his eye and groaned at the scratchy feeling on his left shoulder, he saw Lyra snoozing on the sofa arm and envied her. Harry took off his robe and walked over to the sofa and placing the robe neatly folded on the coffee table. Harry then took off his school shirt and placed it in the same manner as the robe.

He looked at the offending shoulder and saw more feathers sprouting at the top, honestly it was getting annoying. He felt his back as much as he could, he even stood up to check his back in the mirror. turns out the feathers on his right shoulder have grown from his shoulder down his back and arm, there was a gap where his spine was and the left shoulder had started to grow feathers.

He sat back on the sofa, he wanted to lean onto the back and sit comfortably but unfortunately it would start to scratch and irritate his new feathers so he had to sit up straight.

The front door opened and Harry lifted his head to look at who it is. A familiar tuff of blonde hair walked in.

When Draco closed the front door and walked into the living room he felt his face warm up as he saw a shirtless Harry, he may be skinny but he had built up muscle from being a seeker.

The pureblood then noticed the sprouting of feathers on Harry's other shoulder, he frowned slightly.

"That's odd.." Draco murmured to Harry.

"How so?" Harry asked back.

"Well… normally avians only have one arm full of feathers. Not two." Draco answered, he walked over to the floating bookshelf next to the fire and grabbed the avian book.

He then walked back over to the sofa and sat next to Harry, he flipped over to a page.

' Avians that gain their powers from Inheritances are known to grow only one arm of feathers, this is to protect them from the shock of growing two full wings. Many avians may grow feathers on their back aswell, this can signify strength and many other qualities like prosperity and intelligence. '

"That doesn't say that you can't grow them on two arms" Harry stated pointing at the word 'known'.

Draco hummed, he skimmed over the rest of the text and it didn't really say that you couldn't. He looked at Harry's arms, the newly grown feathers looked more irritated than how the right arm looked when they were first growing.

"You should get some irritation balm to help calm down your skin.." Draco said. "I might have some hold on"

Harry watched Draco stand up and walk to their bedroom. In Harry's opinion Draco looked elegant as he walked, he's never noticed how Draco seemed to hold himself different than how he did years before.

He shook his head and stopped thinking about Draco, he looked at his right arm and how red the skin looked around the feathers. He gently placed a finger on the skin and hissed as pain jolted straight down to his wrist.

"Now why did you do that for? idiot." Draco asked as he sat down next to Harry, he had a tin of irritation ointment, it was different to the muggle creams he was used to.

"Obviously, you are too heavy handed to use the cream.." Draco lied, he just wanted to feel the feathers, "So, I will put it on for you." He continued, he opened the tin and got a good amount of the cream on his first and second finger.

Harry watched Draco carefully as the blonde softly started to rub the cream on the skin. Harry's tensed and hissed at the pain that blossomed, his hair turned a dark red on the tips.

Draco looked at Harry's face "I'll be done soon" he murmured quietly. He had already put a good amount of cream on his shoulder.

"Merlin that hurts like a bitch" Harry gritted out, it was like electrical pulses were being sent from his shoulder to his fingers. He tried to stop himself from pulling away from Draco.

Draco finished with the cream and finally pulled away from the skin. Harry relaxed slightly as the pain lessened, but there was still a buzzing feeling on his shoulder. He flexed his hand slightly as the tingly feeling in his palm lifted.

Lyra had moved from the sofa arm and paddled over to Harry's lap, the red had started to turn into a white colour as he looked at the kitten. Lyra had curled in his lap and a quiet purring followed.

Draco's hand moved over to Lyra as he started to pet her fur, the purring turned louder and the kitten relaxed into Harry's lap.

Harry's attention turned to Draco as the other seemed to unknowingly press against Harry's shirtless torso as he petted the kitten. Harry's hair had streaks of platinum blonde, white and dark brown; it looked like he had gotten botched highlights.

Harry didn't pull away or feel uncomfortable as Draco leaned against him. To be honest it felt comforting almost, like a weighted blanket. His attention turned back to Lyra, she was purring softly as Draco's slim and long fingers ruffled her fur.

Harry blinked out of the comforting scene as he remembered his todo list. His first finger and middle finger flicked as parchment paper, quill and ink softly flew into the room.

Draco's head moved to follow the direction of the items, "what..?"

"Gringotts, I need to ask for a few things…." He murmured as he had the parchment float in front of him, a book underneath it to create a hard surface to lean on.

He absentmindedly chewed his cheek as he thought. Draco murmured a soft 'stop it' as soon as he noticed it.

The letter started to form..

' Dear Griphook.

I would like to request to require my family tree from my maternal side. I need to be able to see if I am able to contact any family from the Royal Emrys as I am next in line for the throne.

If you think there is any other possibility that I will need to be in possession of anything else please feel free to contact me about it.

Yours sincerely,

Lord Potter. '

"We didn't send that letter either, did we? The one Lyras set?" Harry said as he turned to look at Draco, who was peacefully playing with Lyra.

"Hm? Oh! Yeah I did send it, just before that whole thing with Granger and Weasley"

Harry felt a harsh pang in his chest, his shoulders seemed to slump slightly.

"Ah.. right" he murmured softly. "Well.. I need to-"

He was cut off as a crow knocked on the window.

His neck shot up to look at it, he knew exactly who it was. He placed the book on the table and dried the ink on the parchment as he rolled it up and tied it.

He opened the window "Marax!" He said with a small smile.

'Letter?' The bird said, the word ringing in Harry's mind. He watched the bird's foot lift up to have the letter tied.

"Uhm yeah. Are you able to get this to Griphook?" He asked. Draco was curious as he watched them both, his hand fussing Lyra.

'Yes! Marax do it! Hedwig hm?'

Harry's breath stuttered at the name.

"Hedwig?" He asked softly.

'Hmmm, said' the crow responded.

"Oh.." he said quietly, his voice cracking as he spoke. "Uhm-.. Marax thank you erm… tell Hedwig I said thanks?"

The bird chirped as it flew away with the tied up letter.

Harry didn't even notice Draco being behind him. The blond softly wrapped Harry from behind. For the second time today Harry had a lot of things crash on top of him.

"Draco…" He said, a soft whine in his voice as he turned to the other. His mindset slipped quicker than it did earlier this afternoon.

Harry softly let himself curl into Draco's hold, his body seemed to mould into the other as his face laid on Draco's shoulder.

He felt dry from tears, he couldn't cry like he did earlier. He felt like his tear ducts would cough up ash as his eyes itched.

Draco didn't say anything this time as a soft breeze hit them both from the open window. His pale, slender hand rubbed Harry's back as he silently comforted the other.

Harry's world seemed to shift, his mind felt like it was black and white. His thoughts became simpler as time went on. An animalistic anger and sadness seemed to fill him up instead as he leaned against Draco.

Harry shivered in grief and from the fact he hadn't got a top on, he felt the wailing of a bird in the back of his mind, his palms curled as he huffed through his nose.

Draco made sure not to press against the fresh feathers as he moved Harry to their shared bedroom.

The other seemed to just be in a world of his own, dissociating but not enough to leave entirely. He let Draco shuffle a tank top over his head.

Although once the blonde made a harsh motion set everything off.

Harry gasped as he flinched back, his hands over his eyes. His simplified mind was running quickly at the motion and what happened today.

"BOY!, if you-"

"Ry!?"

"You lazy son of a BIT-"

"Ha-"

The phoenix gasped as he shook, not seeing Draco as he backed himself into the wall.

"V-Vernon-"

"Don't you DARE Vernon me boy! How da-"

"Cmon Harry you-"

A familiar voice cut through it all. He lifted his head as he inhaled the familiar scent, the phoenix inside seemed to open its eyes and peaked through his fingers.

The phoenix seemed to have sat on the floor. He flinched and snarled as the blonde came close.

"you UNGRATEFUL-!!"

Snapped into the phoenix's mind as he wheezed, he didn't realise how he couldn't breath.

"In and out" the soft voice spoke.

The phoenix breathed with the command, he spluttered and choked but he managed.

"Good birdy, you're doing amazing" The blonde… no?… who?….

"Focus on me Harry, just like that. You're doing well" The familiar voice muttered….

"-Aco?" The phoenix harshly whispered, his voice raw from the rapid breathing.

"Yes Harry it's me" Draco said as he looked at phoenix's eyes.

'Phoenix?…' He thought questionably.

"Yes you are one Harry." Draco reassured, it seems Phoenix thought out loud.

Then, Harry's mind seemed to click everything together.

"Oh.." he muttered in realisation. Harry and his phoenix seemed to have melted together at some point.

Harry quickly moved from the wall to Draco.

Draco quickly grabbed Harry as he held him.

"The amount of scares… one day I will get greys because of you" Draco jokingly scolded Harry as he ran his hand through Harry's hair.

Harry's head was resting underneath Draco's chin, his vivid green eyes closed as his hair subconsciously changed to a platinum blonde.

Draco felt Harry slump against him. Clearly Harry had exhausted himself quickly. Draco picked Harry up and placed him on his bed. He took off Harry's shoes and placed them on the floor.

Draco's hand ran through his hair as he thought he was walking to the bedroom door to leave as he turned the light off.

Harry felt like he was floating, he opened his eyes and saw an empty landscape. There was a thick forest around him as a soft breeze seemed to hit him.

"What..?" He questioned quietly.

As he turned his head he saw a glimpse of violent green amongst the darker shades.

Harry slowly walked towards the colour.

"…hello?" He murmured.

A small chirp broke through the quiet atmosphere as the green blob moved closer. Harry could then make out the actual shapes.

The green blob became a beautiful green phoenix as it walked closer. Harry kneeled downwards to its size.

The phoenix stopped in front of Harry, it tilted its head as it watched him, his feathers swayed behind it softly with the breeze.

Harry slowly extended his hand, his palm facing towards the sky, towards the bird.

The phoenix's head slowly placed itself into Harry's hand, it moved closer to Harry as it softly trilled.

The closer the bird got to Harry the more differences he could make out.

He could see colours more clearly, colours he didn't even know were there, he could see things that were far away more clearly.

A big change he felt was that he felt lighter, but his skin felt tougher as he ran his hand up his arm.

The more changes he felt, the more closer the bird got until it sank into him. The phoenix merged with Harry.

Harry shot up in bed, back at Hogwarts, he looked around wildly. He saw Draco in bed and saw the sun peeking through the curtains. He had slept throughout the night.

Harry sat down in a heel position as he looked around. He could see colours in the wood that he never saw before. The slight undertones of red and blue made an appearance in the wood, as well as in other things.

Harry then looked at his left arm. The fresh feathers grew quicker on the left than they did on the right arm, seeing as the whole arm had fully grown feathers and they were both identical.

Harry slowly moved out of bed so he did not disturb Draco's sleep. He slowly closed the bedroom door and then cased a tempus.

' 8:09am '

Harry sighed as he sat on the sofa, he wanted to make breakfast but he didn't know when Draco would wake up.

Even while sitting in the living room he could hear Draco breathing slowly in the bedroom. He could hear Lyras soft padded paws as she moved over to the sofa, her heart had a steady beat when she settled on the side of Harry's lap.

Tap Tap Tap

The sound made Harry jolt as his head swung back to look at the window. His feathered arms seemed to have risen like the heckles of a dog.

He calmed down quickly though as he saw Marax on the outside windowsill.

Harry's finger shifted as he magically opened the window, letting Marax fly in and land on the back of the sofa.

"Thanks Marax" he said quietly, his own voice ringing in his ears.

The bird didn't say anything, he lifted his leg with the sealed envelope on it.

Harry took the letter and let Marax fly away, magically closing the window after him. He turned to read the letter.

' Dear Lord Potter,

We have added the needed content that you have asked for, it is included with this letter.

We have thought about your other inquiry in your letter and have come to the conclusion that at this moment in time you do not need to be in possession of anything else.

Yours Sincerely,

Griphook

The Potter Account Manager. '

Harry hummed and placed the letter on the coffee table. He then grabbed his Family Tree.

' Hadrian James Sirius Potter-Black. (Royal)

Lily Potter-Emrys Nee Evans. (Royal, Mother)

Rose Evans Née Carmichael (Squib, Grandmother) '

Harry skimmed through many names that had 'Squib' next to it. He finally reached a name.

' Aurelia Catalina Emrys (Royal, 6th cousin) '

Harry's ears then picked up movement from the bedroom as the door creaked open loudly.

"Harry?" Draco said, but to Harry it sounded like he screamed his name as he held his ears.

Draco noticed the feathers on Harry and how they have grown, he noticed how he held his ears. Draco shuffled over to Harry and sat next to him.

"What's the matter?" He whispered, it sounded normal to Harry.

"It's like everything has been exaggerated… I can literally hear the people below us" Harry whispered back as he held his ears as the people below murmured about school work.

His nose twitched as he could smell the expensive coconut shampoo in Draco's hair and the misty smell of his aftershave.

"Sorry I-" Harry stammered as he cringed away from Draco, coughing slightly on the smells.

Draco's eyebrow furrowed in concern, he stood up and opened the window, Harry breathed in the fresher air.

"Sorry… I can smell everything and…" Harry said as his words drifted off.

Draco raised a hand at Harry's words "it's fine, I understand. Is this a new thing?"

Harry nodded as he summoned his inheritance test, it had already automatically updated. With the inheritance he summoned parchment and quill, placing them on the coffee table.

"That explains it" Harry murmured as he passed Draco the updated test.

Draco nodded in agreement as he skimmed the parchment.

"Now… I need to write a letter to a Royal. How do I go about doing that?" Harry asked Draco.
