Sidhe Rising ch 10 NaNo 2007 MPEG mention

hmm a total of three emails not liking the fact my story contains mention of rape and slavery, hmm I did warn that this was very dark at the beginning and did mention in the chapter that there was non willing male to male contact.


when the story is finished all the appropriate warning will be put in the first chapter, but as I am posting this raw for NaNo I don't have that option. as things change in my mind to the time I type it in several times. Some of it has made it in the raw chapters, some of it has been written and side tracked to be used i f needed while polishing the story into something readable and some of it was discarded.


Once I start polishing the story I will have a very clear direction and will post very clear warnings. This chapter mentions male pregnancy if that matters any


Chapter follows



Picking up the clipboard and fountain pen to continue with the letter asking Neville to help get him starts and cuttings of the more useful magical plants, so that this world would have access to them, he thought back to the fun filled day the three of them had at the amusement park, chuckling while Draco lay curled near his feet asleep Harry was momentarily lost in the memory of Draco’s first roller coaster ride, his too as far as that went. The thrill of being strapped into a large cart and flung around the track at top speeds must be as close as most mortals can get to flying, something he was looking forward to doing as soon as he returned as unfortunately the Sithen’s ceiling were not high enough to give him the thrill he wanted.


Smirking, Adrenaline junkie, was what Katre called them before dragging them both over to a coaster that was inside a building, totally in the dark and went several stories underground. Finished and adding that he would be more than willing to make arrangement to meet somewhere to hand over the galleons necessary for a top of the line garden and promising a port key if one was needed Harry rolled up the parchment and sealed the letter before careful not to wake Draco rose from the couch and made for the entry and the owl perch knowing that when he got there Hedwig would be waiting for him.


Finding Hedwig right where he expected her to be he approached her and spent a few minutes running his fingers through her feathers before attaching the letter and asking her to take it to Neville at Longbottom Manor. Harry watched as his friend walked along the special perch that allowed her to be able to touch the mirror and waited to see if it would work, after all this was the first test of making the portal work for owls. Seeing that it did indeed ripple when Hedwig’s wing touched the mirror he watched in satisfaction as she launched herself into the mirror and flew towards her destination.


Wondering when the pizza would be done Harry wandered towards the kitchen to see if he could sneak something to eat while waiting. Peering into the oven Harry sniffed the baking pizza and his mouth watered in anticipation, who would have known that Katre was a gourmet chef, let alone such an amazing teacher.


Opening the cold box and not finding any of the nutrient shakes ready and waiting, Harry looked over his shoulder and then around the door to see if Katre was just off on an errand and on his way back before reaching in for an apple, but he put it back deciding that the pizza had looked close and started to fix the drinks and pulling plates out of the cupboard. Smiling as Katre walked into the kitchen “Smells good I hope they are ready as I am starved, and I am sure Draco is.”


Smiling Katre looked over his shoulder taking his eyes of the pizza’s in the oven, “Go ahead and go wake Draco, I will be cutting them by the time you get back.”

Seeing that the others had not moved from the small entry that housed the only floo in the whole place “Lets head to the library I need to look for something before we attempt to use the mirror,“ Sirius strode by the others opening the door as only one of Black blood could do so letting them into the cavern proper.


Looking like some ancient Pompeii village the cavern caused the others to stop and stare around them in awe at the hidden world they had just walked into. Remus was once again reminded that the Black family was a very old family predating the founding of Hogwarts this hidden enclave proved how far back they went.


Walking down the path Sirius was intent on reaching the library and finding the journal he had hidden there shortly after Lily and James went into hiding. Passing the dusty book strewn tables he made his way deep into the stacks scanning the shelves for what he was looking for.


Meanwhile the rest caught up to Sirius and walked into the library and Remus heart skipped a beat as he gazed at all the precious books around him, so many he thought, this place was larger than the library at Hogwarts beyond a doubt. Sending several cleaning spells towards one corner that had several old but still useful couches surrounding a low table, leaning the mirror against the wall to keep it safe he went about refreshing the comfort charms on the couches.


The twins were gazing like a pair of awe struck fan girls at all the books around them, thinking about all the useful spells and such they could turn to pranks.


Ron not much caring that he seemed to be the only one not drooling at the sight of so many books looked around a minute before flopping onto one of the couches and glancing over to the mirror that may be a way to contact his best friend. As he started to glance away he noticed a glow and turning back to the mirror he watched in horror as it started to melt and change “PROFESSOR LUPIN LOOK” he pointed to the mirror as it started to enlarge and grow into the wall, quickly becoming full length.


Remus spun around to see Ron sitting on the couch pointing towards the wall where he left the mirror and whirling a little more watched that same mirror change shape and grow, starring at the mirror was how Sirius and the twins found them a few moments later when he returned with Molly and Arthur’s twins after finding the journal he was looking for.


Breaking the silence “Well that’s unexpected,” Sirius told them as he sat down on the couch. “I would have to say that Harry defiantly inherited his mothers knack for surprising people with feats of magic never heard of before.”


Rapping his knuckle on the table top to gather every ones attention “Now that we are properly awed by the unknown magic and before we use said feat of unknown magic to contact my godson to find out what the bloody hell is going on we need to make sure everything we know is out in the open.”


They spent the next several hours comparing notes about Harry’s behavior and how the staff of Hogwarts interacted with Harry, dissecting each and every piece of information to gleam the most from it. Ron’s comment about Hermione always checking their homework and correcting it for them as if it was expected and the one time he caught Harry putting back a second copy of the same homework that Hermione was checking, and after a peak at the parchment he compared the two later at eth table and saw the hidden copy, which he later saw get handed in, was the better of the two, actually it was brilliant.


“Sirius what is that book you have been fondling since we got here? It looks like something I have seen the headmaster trying to open several times.” Remus had to ask since they had more questions than answers from the discussion about all things Harry.


Holding the book up “This is the linked copy of the journal Lily carried around, for some odd reason soon after our seventh year she gave me this for safekeeping and I decided to hide it here, and seeing that the headmaster is still alive and this journal intact I know he has not breached its defenses.” Seeing the confused looks on every ones faces “Lily put all the spells she used and discovered, if that is the right word, in this book. In fact it was her that came up with the Fidelius charm that they hid under, a mythical charm that if it was real was lost to time ages ago.”


Picking up on the choice of words “if it was real?” Fred asked, do you think it was never real to begin with, if so how do you explain how Dumbledore knows it and placed several properties under it during the war, even we,” Fred pointed to his other brothers, “have heard about places that went under that charm.”


Nodding his head in agreement Sirius told them, “and until Lily brought that charm to the order and taught it to us no one had ever heard of it before, least wise not in fairy tales.”


Not sure where this conversation was going Remus piped up “so what are you saying Padfoot, all this talk is confusing really, are you saying Lily was some super powered witch? Or are you trying to say something else? Because I have to tell you right now I am tired of all the puzzle pieces that even I am not sure go to the same puzzle.”


Turning the book around so the others could see the front cover with its rose red tri-spiral on it “this is the symbol of the fey folk, I have to wonder if the key to the puzzle that is Harry Potter does not lie in this symbol drawn by Lily’s magic,” Sirius told them.


Ron and the twins had of course grown up with the tales of the fey folk and how they taught magic to man before leaving the world but knew that Harry’s mother was muggle born Fred started to say something but when he saw how pensive and thoughtful Professor Lupin was he held his tongue, she was muggle born wasn’t she?


Ron the ever practical one stood up and moved towards the mirror “How do you think this thing works then?” he asked as he poked the edge of the frame looking for some way to do something with it. Tapping the center of the mirror with his wand Ron called out “Harry are you on the other end of this thing?”


When the mirror did not change and still showed the reflection of those in the room Remus spoke up “Password again, he would have wanted to make sure no one could use it or think it was out of the ordinary.”


Placing his wand back on the mirror “I solemnly swear I am to no good,” Ron tried again with the same results as before, that is to say nothing.


Frustrated Ron threw himself back on the couch muttering under his breath, “what that is the only password we used all the time when using his map.”


Jumping up George tapped his wand to the mirror, “No it’s not little brother there is one more we always used, the one to turn the map off, Mischief Managed.” Chimes like little bells sounded as the mirror rippled and George grinned in triumph as the mirror showed an empty hall and the sounds of bells continued.


Harry looked over towards Katre when he heard the bells chime wondering what was going on, he never heard the Sithen make a sound like that before. As he was about to ask he heard Ron’s voice calling out his name.


“Looks like your friends figured out the clue you left them and need to talk to about something,” Katre smiled as he paused the movie.


Jumping up Harry made his way out of the movie room and towards the entry and smiled when he heard the sounds of the twins telling Ron to be patient. Stepping in front of the mirror Harry waved “Hi guys, I see you figured out my clue, what’s up?”


Ron turned around to see Harry standing in the mirror smiling at him, all of him, blushing red Ron twirled around screaming “Blimey Harry your starker’s.”


Poking his twin in the ribs Fred laughed “Look George our little Harry is all grown up.”


“To right there brother mine, definitely not little Harry anymore,” George added trying to embarrass Ron further and maybe Harry also.


Laughing at Fred and George “You won’t be embarrassing me anytime soon boys,” seeing that Ron was so red that his neck was scarlet and the Remus’s eyes were about to bulge out of his head and Sirius was laughing “Hold on a moment,” before leaving the mirror and walking through the arch behind him.


Grabbing a robe he threw it one and strode back to the mirror “Is that better Ron.”


Turning and peaking through his hands Ron nodded his head, “Blimey Harry why are you walking around starker’s, give me nightmares that will.”


Shrugging “I see no reason to wear anything if I don’t need to, after all this is my home,” Harry replied before peering at Sirius. “Well seeing the two of you here was unexpected, so want to tell me what happened.”


Remus the ever practical one “The wards around Privet Drive crashed this morning and no one could find you or your relatives, on top of that it came out about your home life and the lies Albus has been telling us about them.”


Sighing knowing this could take awhile “Ron turn around for a minute,” Harry asked.


“Huh, why would I do that,” Ron asked confused.


“Because you git its thirty Celsius here and this robe is hot, so I am going to take it off and drape it over the bottom of the mirror to preserve your virgin eyes.” Harry laughed as he started to undo the belt. Slapping his hands over his eyes Ron clenched them tight until he heard Harry tell him it was alright to open them.


Laughing, “Ron you have how many brothers and sleep in a dorm of guys for how many years?” Harry told the blushing red head.


Holding up his hand to stop the banter and clearing his throat “before we continue, Harry are you safe?” Sirius wanted to know if his godson was safe everything else could wait.


Nodding his head and smiling “Relax Sirius I am in the second safest place in the universe, surrounded by ancient wards that no one alive can get through if they are not held onto as they pass through the mirror.”


Remus perked up hearing that the mirror could be used for travel and would have started asking questions but was interrupted by Sirius saying, “Good then stay there as long as possible, we want to keep you out of the headmasters hands if at all possible, maybe you can teach us how to use these mirrors so we can travel back and forth. I take it you are outside of Britain so the underage magic law does not affect you, so I will set up a training schedule…”


Laughter came from the mirror “Relax Sirius I have a training schedule that would probably shock you to know that magic I am learning, tings that will surprise even that unflappable meddlesome fool.” Harry told them after getting his laughter under control.


Getting serious he told them “look we may have a problem, Ron and the twins can’t go home until they have a way to protect their minds. Dumbledore and Snape like to browse through other peoples mind like some perverted voyeur, that how Dumbledore always knows what is going on, and he always asks you while piercing you with his eyes if there is nay thing you want to tell him, and of course what you don’t want him to know pops to the forefront and he reads the information easily,” Harry frowned as he tried to come up with a plan.


“I can floo dad and explain that we might have come up with a very good lead, but after what the Headmaster did we don’t want to be around where he can try to get it out of us until we know for sure and if we did find you until Remus had moved you somewhere we don’t know the location of” George thought out loud to Fred


“I don’t know guys mum will go spare when she finds out,” Ron told them not afraid of the punishment but not looking forward to defying his scary mother either.


Thinking about what George said Harry looked towards Sirius “how secure is your location Sirius, how easy is it to breach your defenses?”


“More secure than Gringotts this cavern is deep underground and the only way in and out is one secure floo connection that needs special floo powder to travel here on top of a password, even my mum was never allowed here and knew nothing about it so Dumbledore and the order can not find out about it form any of the portraits at mums old London house that I agreed to let the order use before all this came to light,” Sirius explained.


“Can’t you teach us how to use the mirror to travel and we can spend the time with you,” Ron asked wanting to make sure his best friend truly was ok, even if he had suddenly taken to disliking clothes.



Shaking his head “That might work if the mirror I am using was connected to the same one you guys are using, actually the twin of your mirror is set up across from the twin of the one I am using through a resonance bond. I would have to travel to that other mirror and touch it to allow travel through as it is not something like a spell I can teach you to use.” Holding up his hand as Ron was about to reply, “I have no problem doing that and bringing you over, but I prefer to do it when it is dark out to lessen the chance of being found.”


“So it seems like we hole up here then at least until things quiet down and plan the best time for you to change the mirrors and bring us over. Meanwhile I can start teaching Ron and the twins occlumency to protect their minds, “Sirius sat back trying to remember what aisle had those books.


Frowning “while a good idea I think that will take a little too long, the longer you guys avoid the headmaster and Snape the more suspicious they will become, what we need is a shield that you can wear at all times that can not be taken away…” Harry trailed off thinking about it. Shaking his head in frustration, he was too tired right now to think about ideas.


“What is the day and the time where you guys are at?” Harry yawned wanting to do this in the morning after a good nights sleep.


“Sunday June twenty first about half past three, why isn’t it the same where you are at?” Remus had to ask wondering if Harry was truly our of the country and what time zone he was in.


“Bugger, it’s half past eleven at night here, look why don’t I mirror you back say ten in the morning your time. I’ll need a couple of hours in the morning to come up with a plan after talking it over with Katre, there should be a way to get you and Neville back and forth and protect your minds.” Harry rambled tiredly, “After I get some sleep, its been a long day for me here.” Rubbing his eyes tiredly Harry told them.


Taking pity on the young man that looked ready to drop Remus hushed the others ‘Ok then Harry get a good nights rest, we can talk more in the morning.”


Nodding his head Harry broke the connection and pulled the robe of the mirror, if they did decide to come through Ron would have to get over his modesty very quickly he smirked.
