so you have been warned
Draco sat down next to Harry near the head of the Gryffindor table, feeling uncomfortable he sighed in relief when using his wand he once again emptied his bladder and bowels, he was so glad he was magical he did not even want to ponder having to carry this baby without the use of magic to keep him comfortable, though he knew he would make due if ordered to by Harry.
Sitting where he was he could see the whole Great Hall and as he scanned the room he noticed the confused and calculating looks on most of the Slytherin’s while the Ravenclaw’s seemed to be trying to study them without being caught. He was broken out of his thoughts when a full plate slid in front of him, and as he looked over to see who had placed it there he saw Harry picking up a plate to place selections on it, presumably his own. Picking up his fork he used it to stab into the roast beef and started to bring it up to his mouth before he stopped, Harry always made sure he knew he placed the plate in front of him by telling him to eat. Putting the fork down he looked around to see who was close enough that they would have put the food in front of him while he was not looking, most of the people sitting around them he had seen sitting around Harry for several years. What to do he thought, he did not want to do anything that Harry would punish him for.
Confused on what to do or if he should eat he turned and reached for Harry’s arm just as Harry turned to place the plate he had just filled in front of Draco, only to find a plate already sitting there. “Master did you place this here for me to eat?” Draco was so confused and it showed in his voice.
Harry disturbed when he turned to give the food he had served up to Draco, was chilled when Draco’s confused voice questioned if he had placed the food in front of him, “Draco you did not see who placed this here?”
Shaking his head Draco was quick, “No master…I started to eat then before I went further than putting my fork in the roast I remembered you always tell me to eat and you did not this time, so I checked first.”
“No one touch anything,” Harry hissed out to his friends before enclosing the food on the table in a bubble like crystal shield. Ignoring the shocked exclamations from those sitting around him as they were roughly pushed away from the table as the bubble formed around their meal, Harry set about analyzing the food in front of them, trying to detect hidden poisons. “I want to make sure here Draco, you did not eat or drink anything correct?” he asked as both the drinks on his end of the table glowed along with the beef on the plates.
Shaking his head very frightened Draco whispered, “No master I did not eat or drink as you did not give me leave to do so.” Secretly very glad he remembered at the last moment and stopped himself from eating from the plate placed in front of him.
Scanning the aces around him Harry mostly saw confused looks and some that were concerned as they saw the glow around the beef and looked back to their plate wondering if what they had eaten was tainted also, but there was one who did not look confused, he thought he saw a brief glimmer of guilt flash before the red headed girl looked neutral. Looking back to the glowing foods he tasted the intent of the magic surrounding them and paled as the beef contained an abortative while the drinks contained a substance design to break mental or love based bonds, both would have killed his son. Standing up Harry was furious…he glared around the tables looking into faces trying to sense if they could be the one who had done this, by the ancients someone had just tried to kill his son.
Minerva was walking towards the Great Hall with Filius, they were discussing how stubborn Albus was being and the fact that they needed to call an emergency meeting of the professors while also calling an emergency meeting with the board, when she stopped and with an ingrained sixth sense for trouble made out Harry’s voice echoing in the Great Hall, “No one touch anything” looking down to her fellow professor she saw that he two heard the anger in those words. Silently they both took off running intent on reaching the Great Hall before they were too late to prevent what was about to happen.
Rushing past the students that were milling around by their seats, all trying to get a better view of what was going on near the end of the Gryffindor table, the head of the table that had a very angry Harry standing there glaring at everyone. After what Albus pulled in his office not long ago Minerva did not think Harry’s temper would take much before he would explode not seeing Severus in attendance she let out a small sigh of relief, before panicking as Harry yelled out in anger and she caught the look of glee on Deloris’s face.
“WHO…PUT THIS PLATE…” Harry picked up the plate of tainted food and threw it down hard on the table breaking it and spilling the contents all over the place, “IN FRONT OF DRACO!” starring very hard at the Weasley girl when he did the yelling Harry glared at his chief suspect as she was guilty of something.
As Harry was galling at those around him frightening them out of their wits, the side door behind the head table opened up and the minster and several Auror’s walked out and Deloris high whiny voice could be heard in the silence, “As I told you Minister the Potter boy is delusional and a danger to those around him, he is suffering from one of his fits of madness right now.”
Ignoring the people behind him that were approaching He turned his full attention towards Ginny Weasley and capturing her with his golden, green and silver eyes pulled up power forcing it into his voice and commanded, “Ginny where did you get the potion that you put in Draco’s food?”
Unable to tear her gaze away or lie, even though she tried Ginny’s answer was clearly heard by all in the hall, “Professor Umbridge gave it to me when she overhead my comments about getting even with you for spurning my advances.”
Furious and staring to glow though it was still close to his skin he asked with the power of command, “WHY?”
Dreamily Ginny did not try to fight this command and let herself open up to the horror of those around her, “You were supposed to be mine not his,” she pointed her finger at Draco as she glared hatred towards him, “I could give you a son just as well as he can so after the abomination he carried died I would take you into my arms and comfort you, I would have born you powerful sons. She promised me that the potion only needed the slightest taste to kill of the unborn child.”
Hearing enough Harry unleashed his fury and took the two steps to reach the hateful spite and backhanded her into silence, the force also sent her flying halfway down the table and into Morpheus’s arms. Watching her head bounce into the platters in the middle of the table Harry felt some satisfaction before slowly turning to take care of the source of the attack.
“Now see here, you can’t just slap people around Potter…” Cornelius trailed off seeing the unbridled fury and stopping as he gazed into the tri-colored eyes and screamed to his guards, “KILL IT… Kill it before it gets any closer.”
Dawlish was the only one foolish enough to draw and aim his wand, but a brief flash of metal was all that was seen before he fell to the ground screaming clutching the stump that used to be his hand.
“Be QUIET Fudge,” Harry said as he stalked forward before calling out, “Deven…I want my enforcer here right now.”
Deven melted out of the shadows near the edge of the head table and quickly stepped over and knelt down, “I am here my King…command me.”
Seeing more people arrive at the doors to the Great Hall and enter Harry narrowed his eyes as he noticed Malfoy senior amongst them, “Take Jesse with you and Escort Draco back to the Sithen, Inform his Majesty the King of the High Court of the attempt on my sons life and ask for the loan of the Armies for an invasion,” he ordered as his glowing tri-colored eyes pierced the crowd and sought out and captured the older Malfoy in his gaze. H smiled when he saw the fear flow through those eyes, “GO…Go now.”
Deven bowed his head before motioning with his free hand as he quickly gathered up Draco, “As my King commands,” quickly steering the frightened blond out of the hall, keep his distance from the elder Malfoy as they went through the doors.
The elder Malfoy was the one to break eye contact first and Harry glared a moment longer before throwing his arm out violently in the direction that the unconscious Weasley girl lay causing the table to melt and morph as restraints made of stone slid up over her arms, legs and middle effectively trapping her and not allowing her any chance of moving. Reaching over the cringing Hufflepuff Harry grabbed the Daily Prophet and stalked up towards the head table and the nervous ministerial party, “Minerva send someone to fetch that manipulative goat fucker and bring him here…he needs to hear this.”
Flicking his arm and hand forcefully in the direction of Umbridge and the minister freezing them to the spot they were standing in Harry started to circle the two, like a shark deciding on lunch, “So the corrupt minister of magic graces us with his presence, after doing something so foolish like appoint his personal psychopath as Hogwarts High Inquisitor this morning,” he commented as he slapped the minister upside the head with the newspaper before he released it to fall to the floor.
Sensing the presence of the headmaster entering the room, must have been hiding just down the hall Harry thought, just like him to hide around the corner while others do all the work so he can sweep in at the last minute, “ah Headmaster, glad you could join us, the minister was just about to explain to us is grand plan of taking control of the school and torturing all these fine students into submission.”
With a glowing hand Harry transformed the empty head table into steps leading up to an elaborate throne which he started for, “No comment Headmaster on what you’ve heard so far?”
Glancing around the hall Albus noticed the retrained Weasley girl and slightly moaning Auror on the floor, evidently one of his comrades had sealed the end of the stump saving his life, moving further in the room as Harry sat down on the throne and glared out at him he thought he had better say something before things got any more out of hand then they were, “Harry what has Miss Weasley done to suffer such a fate, surely you see giving into that side of your heritage only leads to pain?” he had reached Cornelius and the others and stopped, fearful of going much further causing Harry to lash out at him once more.
Still glaring at the Headmaster Harry ignored him for the moment, “Huntsman…call the hounds and prepare to let loose the hounds of hell,” He just smiled causing the headmaster to flinch in fear as Alex stepped forward and bayed deeply, a sound that had the power of command in it. Two very large hell hounds appeared from the shadow and approached the throne, taking a seat on either side of him, leaning in so he could more easily reach the tops of their heads for a scratch or two. Feeling the nudge of the massive heads harry gave in and started to scratch them between their ears, he made a frightening sight on out of a painting from Dante’s inferno the older Muggleborns thought.
“She placed a potion in the food she served to Draco, a potion she got from your defense professor, a defense professor that is here by the ministers orders I remind you,” Harry glared at the frowning man, “a potion that one small taste of would have killed my unborn son.”
The minster paled at those damning words, thinking fast he needed to do something that would salvage his life, he needed to disavow his assistant before she could implicate him and bring his government down with her, he opened his mouth to order her arrest and found his voice had been stilled.
“I take threats towards my family and son very seriously,” Harry glared around the hall to see if his message was sinking in and adding, “I think my people will take a threat to the crown more seriously and argue for your total enslavement.”
Seeing he had gotten his message across he noticed the rapid influx of Sidhe warriors, all glowing with power and splendor, into the great hall from the doors, Deven returned as soon as he called the army through and melted from the shadows to stand on the right side of his king, nodding his head towards Alex who stood on his left surrounded by his hounds each two steps below the throne.
The influx of so many did not go unnoticed by Albus and he finally knew defeat, he had never imagined that there could be more than one or two of the Sidhe remaining, he felt that with only a couple remaining Harry’s claim of being their king would prove meaningless and he could harness it to his advantage in defeating Tom. But now seeing hundreds move into the hall and take up station, all glowing with power he knew the prophecy he had so jealously guarded and hid behind the carefully doctored one had come to pass, “Where do we go from here Harry?” he asked in resignation before falling to his knees in pain as power hit him from on the Sidhe nearest him.
“You will be more respectful of his majesty mortal, he is the King of the Unseelie, the King of Flesh and Blood…do not take liberties with him.” The Sidhe commanded before releasing the magic from around the old fool.
Slowly getting to his feet Albus did not look up, he feared he would see glee in the young man’s face and did not know if he could take it, “My apologies to his majesty, no offense was intended.”
Face void of all emotion Harry scanned the room and frowned as he saw the glee on certain faces in the crowd, and not all of them were from the Slytherin’s either, “You can give your unconditional surrender to my forces and stand witness to your arrogance as we find out how far this depraved individual has terrorized the students and under who’s orders,” Harry looked at the pale minister when he said the last. Releasing the huge hound on his right Harry reached out with his hand as if he was pickup up a chess piece and turning it to move it closer, hand glowing as he did so.
The students watched in awe and fear at the endless feats of wandless magic Harry was performing and some of the older pureblood students were seriously rethinking their loyalties seeing that Harry was one of the Unseelie, and king at the same time, they knew that the followers of the dark lord would soon submit or perish, there would be no other choice. They watched s Umbridge was dragged by an unseen hand to the bottom of the steps and her slight struggles gain no freedom from her invisible bonds.
Harry’s words echoed with power around the hall, “Tell me the truth Deloris Umbridge,” as he released the magic keeping her silent. Harry noticed his cousin standing in the doorway to the Great Hall, glowing like a small sun dressed in the finest battle attire holding a flaming sword of energy. Under other circumstances in the past this would be an act of war between the two courts, but Harry knew the only reason Katre had shown up was, it was also his son that was almost killed, and he would step in if Harry failed…He did not plan to fail. “How many of you tortured Deloris?”
Unable to fight the first command to tell the truth she spat out, “Thousands.” The growls from the adults in the room were very angry at her words, yet still contained as they did not want to anger the Sidhe around them, they had seen what was done to Dumbledore.
Interesting Harry thought, “how many at Hogwarts and who do you target as the most desirable?”
Not bothering to fight the compulsion any longer Deloris answered with excitement in her voice, “Only dozens here so far, I was told to make sure you and the other inferiors knew your place. And children screams excite me so I specialize in them.”
“And the minister allows this?” Harry asked as he glared at the pale man and kept an eye on the horrified headmaster.
“As long as I keep my amusements to the muggle children he could not care, told me so himself, I can only assume he wished me to use my special talents here at Hogwarts when he gave me the job, after all he did say to do what I had to silence you before someone took you up on your offer of allowing your memories of the night the most wondrous of lords returned.”
Albus tried to inch away from the foul woman so he was not pasted with the same brush, he now felt haunted by the decision he made to hire substandard teachers in the attempt to mold the Potter child.
“What were your and the ministers plans in regards to Hogwarts?” Harry asked as he stared at the politician with loathing.
“We had planned out educational decrees that would isolate the students and start the process to bend them to our wills,” Deloris started her explanation a gleam in her eye as she envisioned the future she told. ‘We would have cancelled summer break and kept the students until the submitted, the added benefit was that they would be hostages to their parent’s good behavior and thus would have submitted finally to our glorious rule.”
Harry had heard more than enough and acting as if he was slapping something a loud smack could be heard as a red mark appeared on Deloris’s face. Shaking his head with disgust Harry glanced at the headmaster, “your answer headmaster?”
Albus was a broken man he had to stall to find time to get out of this predicament, “since the time of the founder’s Hogwarts has never been…” he trailed off as Minerva’s angry voice sounded through the hall.
“Albus Dumbledore you either Surrender now unconditionally or I will kill you myself and do it in your stead.” Minerva yelled out over the crowd as she turned to one of the armed Sidhe and demanded as she made her way through the crowd, “Give me your blade so I can chop his fool head off.”
Shoulder slumped Albus bowed his head in defeat, “I surrender…Hogwarts and its grounds are yours.”
Nodding his head Harry resumed scratching behind the ears of the two great hell hounds, “Lord of the Wild Hunt I declare Deloris Umbridge as your rightful prey this night, mark her and give her to sundown before you start your hunt,” Harry commanded as he released the magic holding the woman in place.
Alex bowed with glee on his face, his puppies would get their first workout, “As my King Commands so shall it be done.” Taking the two steps to the floor Alex sniffed the air around the woman before scrunching up his face in distaste, she reeked of vileness. Lifting up leaning his head back he bayed deep and commanding, his command quickly taken up by the hell hound around the hall as they eagerly answered his call with one of their own. Kicking the woman he barked out, “go you have to sundown before we come for you.”
“Now for you minister,” Harry grinned as he gazed at the trembling man and released the magic binding him, “You have been a very naughty man haven’t you minister…” Harry stood and the two massive hounds matched his steps as he walked down to stare into the man’s face.
“Surrender…unconditionally…you will surrender the Ministry of Magic to me,” Harry ordered as he whispered as he touched the flinching man’s face, “bleed for me” he ordered with the lightest touch of his power causing old wounds to open and start to bleed.
Walking around the slightly bleeding man Harry leaned over and whispered at him again, ‘Do you have any son’s minister?” seeing Cornelius shake his head in the negative Harry purred as he faced him once more, “That’s too bad minister as I find I am highly aroused right now and need something to slake my lust…oh well there is always the Nott boy.”
Harry wanted to laugh as his words had the effect he wanted, glancing back towards his cousin he saw that he had sheathed his sword and was removing his helm, catching his eyes he received a nod and a wave before Katre walked out of sight, satisfied that Harry was well on the way to retribution for the attempt on their son. Returning his attention to fudge he smiled, “You answer Fudge…your answer or I unleash my armies.”
“Answer quickly and you might survive a little longer,” Harry offered knowing that the man would be dead shortly after handing the reigns over to his people anyway it was not a lie he would live a little longer, just not as long as fudge would assume.
“I surrender…I surrender already,” Fudge cried out before sobbing terror.
Nodding his head Harry searched the crowd, “Iestyn, my hand of justice take who you need and this thing,” Harry tapped fudge causing the man to crumble to the floor, “And secure the ministry. If any resist kill them.”
Starting for the doors so he could make it back to his rooms and the Sithen Harry called out, “Kevin…Aaron get with Minerva and the board, turn the school over to her to run the day to day operation of the school.”
“And the girl my King,” Aaron asked to the retreating back of his king.
“Give her to Luna as a pet, just make sure you bind her to Luna before letting them go on their way,” Harry commanded as he left the Great Hall.

Sidhe Rising NaNo 2007 winner Warnings Bellow
Well another chapter done, well sort off
this one of course did not come out exactly as i planned out so I might put some more of the back story I wrote out into the appropriate sections.
REMEMBER
I post the chapters at scene breaks and even though this is chapter 21 when finished it might end up being chapter 10 or 11 in reality, depends on how much I add or subtract when NaNo is over.
Warnings for:
Slash I think so
Bashing = oh definitely
the start of enslavement or rape scenes = certainly contains heavy forshadowing for it
I did not get around to the planned killings in this chapter but should get to some next
the gloves have come off
Halfway to the hospital wing Harry stopped and glanced back as he heard a small struggle behind him followed by a whimper of pain seeing Deven had things well in hand he continued walking towards the infirmary, placing his hand on the door Harry had a thought and motioning for Brian to came close he whispered his suspicions and sent him on his way to track down McGonagall to get directions. Opening the doors he walked into the infirmary and glanced around the room spotting Draco and the others off in one corner while on the other side of the infirmary the Cu Sith was sitting glaring at the potion master who had taken refuge behind his bed.
Bustling over after hearing the door to the infirmary open Pomfrey looked up and noticed one of the Slytherin students being dragged in pointed to a bed near the middle, “put him over there and I will be with him in a minute, what happened to him anyway?” she asked as she tried once more to force the potion down the young Weasley’s throat, insuring he got rest, but once again was stopped by the boys arm and Draco Malfoy, “Now listen here you two he needs to take this potion and rest. And you lot can clear out and visit him later, he needs his rest,” She huffed.
Smiling sadly at how protective the medi-witch was to those that came through her doors, but seemed ineffective in the long term for those that really did need her help, like his self he thought, “I am sorry Madam Pomfrey but Ron and the others shall be returning to our rooms, he can rest then.”
“So much like your father, ordering those you know better around, like you are a god or something,” Severus sneered around that blasted beast, “Fifty points from Gryffindor Potter and detention for a month for talking back to your betters.” Catching a glimpse of one of his Slytherin’s being man handled by one of those blasted strangers he scowled, “Nott what are you doing here, unhand him you fool.”
Ducking back down as that green eyed and green haired beast growled at him he knew that this was Potters fault and he bellowed out, “Potter release him this instant and call that infernal beast of yours off before I see you expelled.”
Laughing Harry ignored the man, “As if I care what you think. Now Madam Pomfrey how about releasing Ron so we can take him home so he can rest and bee assured he is safe.”
Seeing she was outnumbered and that the boy in question was already half way out the door with the support of his friends, though the Malfoy boy helping startled her no end, “very well, seeing they are making an escape while your goons keep me cornered I have no choice.” Pulling her wand carefully so that it was not pointed at any of the non smiling men she pointed to the bed, “well put him there and I will take a look at him,” before sniffing smelling that the boy must be in severe pain to soil himself like that. Frustrated she tried to push past the men so she could get to the one holding the Nott boy, as he did not seem capable of following instruction. Glancing over at Harry she saw the cold hard look in his eyes and shivered, something was going on here and she was sure she did not want any part of it, “Harry at least let the boy change out of those soiled clothes…tell your man to put the boy in the bed so I can take care of him.”
Glancing over towards Deven and seeing she did have a point and the air was a little foul in here Harry smirked, “Deven do as the kind lady asks…” seeing Deven raise an eyebrow as he glanced towards him Harry sneered in the direction of the potions master, “Rip those filthy things off his body so he does not track that filth back with us. That should make Madam Pomfrey happy…I know it will make my nose happy.”
Walking over to the Cu Sith Harry laid his hand on its back und scratched it gently at the nape of its neck, “thank you my friend for keeping the others safe,” a few more scratches and laughs at the large hounds pleasured woofs, “Shall we go home my friend?”
Turning around to see Deven had finished stripping the Nott boy Harry let his eyes roam up and down the body that was now fully exposed, “Very nice indeed” before with the giant hound in tow turned and followed Deven as he dragged the teen out of the infirmary.”
XXX
Traveling through the mirror with the Cu Sith was an interesting experience, it almost felt as Harry was enveloped in a warm mothers embrace all soft and furry. Laughing when the giant hound licked his face and ran off out towards the lake woofing like he was chasing a rabbit Harry relaxed now that he was safely home.
Removing his clothes and dropping them to the floor in the wardrobe Harry sighed in relief as he stretched, deciding to lay on the beach for as long as it was quiet, knowing that the twins would be over after supper to let him know all the gossip and rumors floating around. Not getting very far before he remembered about his prisoner Harry went back to the entry and placing his hand on the wall and asked the Sithen mentally for a cell he could place prisoners in, smiling as he felt the familiar scent of roses and leather he turned and motioned Deven to drag the frightened teen over.
When Nott had been dragged close enough Harry reached out and cupped the teens ball sack and then moved to his flaccid penis and stroked it gently causing it to lengthen all the while watching the horror and fear on the teens face, “yes you will do nicely,” he felt the teen try to pull away from his hand as he stroked him to hardness as he blushed in shame.
Pushing him into the cell Harry stood back as a heavy clear panel descended from the ceiling, with holes in it large enough for a small hand to go through, he watched as Theodore Nott tried to cover his nakedness as he retreated to the corner.
Draco and Neville walked out of the house carrying drinks, handing a glass with cold juice in it to Harry, Draco looked in the cell and stared for a moment trying to decide how he felt about the Slytherin that had tried to injure him, shrugging his shoulder he really did not feel anything about the whole situation and had to wonder if Nott would soon be carrying a child or only be used for a sex slave. Feeling arms go around him from behind and the scent he had come to associate with Deven Draco leaned back into the embrace as Harry turned and caressed his bulging pregnant stomach.
Hearing the playful barks of the Cwn Annwn Harry turned and smiled as he watched Alex playing fetch with several of the hounds a the same time the others were trying to play tag with him. Feeling his own growing hardness Harry glanced down and noticed the very erect member pulsing to Draco’s heartbeat laying against his belly, “pulling Deven into a deep kiss he turned and brought his mouth to Draco’s before letting go and pulling them towards the beach.
Pointing his thumb over his shoulder towards the cell Deven asked, “What about him?”
Harry was stroking Draco as they walked to Draco’s delightful moans, “He will keep till tomorrow afternoon.”

Albus was troubled, two of his professors had been terrorized and two more were solidly thinking they had gotten what they deserved and told him quite vocally that they were through overlooking the mans nastier tendencies. He had lost all control over Harry and that frightened him, what was worse though is it seems during the time he had been missing he had really studied the Wizarding worlds laws and customs very thoroughly, that bothered him for the simple reason that he had bent and broken a large number of laws all those years ago, laws the current ministry would use to lock him away just at the time he needed to be visible the most.
Slamming his hand on his desk, Dammit, with Voldemort back they needed to be pulling together not fracturing before they even had a chance to organize and bring to life the Order of the Phoenix once more.
Glancing at the planetary display behind his desk he did not have a lot of time left until the meeting and he still did not know how much he was going to tell him, or even if he should.
Hearing a knock on his door he panicked for a moment before looking in the crystal hidden behind a stack of papers, “Come in Filius,” trying to seem normal and casual eyes failing to fully twinkle Albus asked, “something I can do for you Filius?”
“Oh don’t mind me Albus I am here for the meeting with Mr. Potter, I believe Minerva informed you of the new restrictions surrounding you and any dealings you have with the young man,” Filius smiled when he saw the shock in the headmasters face. Flicking his wand towards the couch he climbed up the steps that he conjured into the transfigured chair on top of the couch, the perfect position to participate from.
Could this day get any worse he thought, “Filius I really think your time would be better spent elsewhere don’t you, after all as Minerva so clearly pointed out,” he was still smarting over that conversation, “Harry is no longer student so I really so no need to trouble two of our professor who should be doing other things from attending something that is no longer school business.”
Waving him off Filius was enjoying himself, “oh no trouble at all I have everything taken care of, Pomona is covering for me if any one needs any thing and all my prefects have my total trust.”
“I…” Albus trailed off as his door opened and in walked his transfiguration professor, opening his mouth to try to at least talk her out of staying he was interrupted.
“Save it Albus I am in no mood for your games this morning, one of my favorite students in the hospital wing for doing something so monumentally stupid it is a wonder her professors think so highly of her, while another is about to arrive that you have done great harm to and is planning on leaving the Wizarding world if he does not get answers,” slamming her hand down on his desk to get his full attention, “Answers he is damn well entitled too,” moving and taking a seat opposite of Filius she waited and glared at the flustered Headmaster.

Alex and Brian walked the steps from the second floor into the entry and scanned the area for threats, seeing that it was mostly students milling about and the only one that had taken any notice of their arrival was a slender red headed girl they motioned that it was clear and stepped back against the wall allowing the rest of their group to descend.
Neville came in from outside followed by his Gran and they moved off towards the Great Hall still in a deep discussion of the list of names she had researched for him and Ginny did not even give him a second glance as she saw him that morning at breakfast. Glancing back out the doors she perked up as she noticed Harry and Draco walk down the steps, running over she once more tried to entice his attention, for a boy he sure was acting totally clueless, “Hi Harry do you have a moment?”
Thinking she was going to ask about her brother Harry stopped, “Not really, I have a meeting in a few minutes with the headmaster will it take long?” he pulled Draco in closer to his side as a group of Slytherin students came out of the Great Hall, glaring their way.
Frowning as Harry pulled Draco in possessively she tried again, but his time watching the body language between the two of them, “I thought we could find time to go out some time, maybe a Hogsmeade weekend or you could help me study defense as the defense professor is not going to be teaching us anything useful this year.”
Looking at Draco for a moment Harry glanced back to the frowning Weasley girl, “Ginny I don’t even know you. I thought you were going to ask about how your brother was doing after almost being sliced in half, but it seems all girls are mental. I have no intention of studying with you or any other girl. In fact I am no longer a student here, so if you will excuse me I do have an appointment to keep.”
Angry Ginny yelled after them, “What can that ponce give you that I can’t, at least with me you…” she trailed off as Harry twirled around and stared at her hate filing his face.
“Leave now…go before you say something you will regret. I will be having a long talk with both of your parents over your behavior Miss Weasley, the only thing saving you at this moment is that you are Ron’s sister and he for some odd reason does care for you.” Resuming his treck to the Headmasters office Harry gave one last parting shot, “if I were you I would start packing as I hear there are some excellent girls only academies.”
Leaving the fuming girl behind they continued down the corridor, only to be met and slowed down once more by another distraction, or in the case of Collin Creevy, something of his doing, motioning for the other to join them, “Hey Collin, I forgot all about it and I am sorry for worrying you so, come along with us and if you stick with Brian here, “Harry pointed to the Sidhe next to the wall in front of them, the one with the closed cropped brown hair, “as soon as my meeting is over with Dumbledore we will take you to see your brother.”
Reaching over and pulling the younger boy into a hug Harry felt his relief, “I really am sorry, I thought we left him sleeping on the common room couch in our tower, that way if he woke he could make it back to the dorm, but as we left last night he was collected along with everyone else, at least I know that he is having a good time playing with Alex’s puppies when we left.”
It took all Draco’s self control, and knowing Harry would not be happy with him to hold in his laughter when Harry described the hell hounds as puppies, ho win Merlin’s name anything the size of a pony could be called a puppy.
Giving Harry a hug Colin beamed up at him, ‘Thanks Harry,” before running over and latching onto Brian talking a mile a minute, not giving him time to interject his own comments.
Finally approaching the gargoyle that hid the headmasters office Harry almost let out a groan of frustration, there waiting for them was one of his former dorm mates, “hey Seamus, did you need to see me too?”
Thinking this was not as good of an idea as when he gathered his courage up to do confront Harry this morning Seamus gulped before nervously stepping towards Harry’s group, “H…Har…Harry I wanted to say sorry for all mum and me have done in not believing in you,” wincing this was harder that it looked, sighing he decided to just blurt it out and hope his family was not hurt, “I noticed things the other day, and after class yesterday and seeing the Cwn Annwn, and him,” Seams pointed to Alex, “Red ears and all and he defers to you…always…”
Shuffling his foot around, “there is no way he is anything but the Lord of the Hunt, and you command him…and me mum has not been so nice to you and, “Falling to his knees Seamus pleaded, “sorry…so sorry Harry.”
Scratching his head Harry looked at Draco who shrugged before looking around to his guards to see if anyone had any idea what was going on, it was Kevin of all of them that spoke up, “he is afraid you will be angry with his family for the words they have spoken against you my King, he fears your anger will unleash the Huntsman and the Wild Hunt on his family for his mothers words.”
“Me da always taught us not to disrespect the wee folk, never to talk bad about Fairy, “Seamus was resigned to his fate, but maybe he could spare his family.
Sighing Harry did not have time for this, “Seamus stand up, if I killed everyone that ever said a bad thing about me behind my back there would be no one left in this school, go owl your mum and meet with her, she is allowed to come here any time she wishes you know, if she stops the badmouthing I will forget what she said,” sighing he looked at the closed gargoyle and groaned as once again it was a game of guess the password, “Go on Seamus, no hard feelings, unless it continues.”
Harry watched the shocked boy jump to his feet and run down the hall and walked up to the gargoyle and growled, “you have one chance to not be a melted puddle of goo…MOVE.”
Draco was actually very surprised when the Gargoyle did indeed move out of the way and the spiral stair case appeared.
Alex and Jesse quickly climbed the spiraling staircase so that they were in a position to assess those in the office as threats, even knowing that Deven waited in the shadows behind the headmaster ready to strike if needed.
Seeing the hand movement from Alex motioning him that it was all clear harry grabbed Draco’s elbow and stepped up on the spiral stairs and rode it to the top, finally Harry would get the answers he needed or retribution for years of torment and pain. Walking into the office Harry slowly scanned the room and nodded his head in greeting towards McGonagall and professor Flitwick and steered Draco into the open seat furthest away from the head master before taking the other empty seat. Staring at the old man who looked tired and determined he slipped of one of the shoes he was wearing instead of his boots and placed it on the cold stone floor.
Slightly taken aback when the tall fierce looking men strode through the door and exam the room before taking up posts on either side of the door Albus sighed, things were not going as he hoped, it would be so much harder to control the situation with unknown guards, it saddened him to know that Harry felt the need to bring body guards to this meeting, things must be truly that desperate for his side if he had lost any and all of the built up control on young Harry.
Before the calculating look in the headmasters eyes could go any further Harry interrupted the old man’s musings, taking control of the conversation from the start, “Since I demanded this meeting shall I start or are you going to try to weasel out information that by rights does not concern you.”
Ignoring the verbal barb Albus, careful not to make eye contact to give Tom a chance to read his thoughts, as he was firmly convinced that Tom had to be possessing the boy, as the pliable young man he had so carefully nurtured would never have done the things he did yesterday. “My boy I am afraid for you, I am afraid that Voldemort since regaining a body is deeply influencing you through the connection of your scar. It is imperative you learn Occlumancy, it will also help with the pain and visions you receive by means of that connection. I have already talked to Severus and under the guise of remedial potions you shall be instructed in protecting your mind every Tuesday and Thursday after dinner.”
Harry blinked as he stared at the old man, the stories must be true he thought, he was barking mad, he refused to see what was before his very eyes. Shaking his head Harry lifted the bangs showing his unblemished forehead to the headmaster, “what scar professor, the scar you told me back in first year was the result of a hideous curse and the healers said it could never be hidden or removed,” voice holding some of the anger Harry felt leak into his voice, “The scar that any competent healer would have taken one look at and promptly remove it, without any hint of trouble.”
Letting his bangs fall back as he sat back and enjoyed the shocked look on the headmasters face Harry let him know he did know how deep the betrayal went, “what and amazing lie you weaved all those years ago, but it does not hold up to the slightest bit of examination really. Hagrid took me from the ruins of my parents cottage directly to you that night in Surrey, where you promptly closed the scar and placed me on the doorstep of those people, without so much as a by your leave or asking informing them what had happened.”
Draco glanced around at the noises coming from the professors in the room and noticed how angry they looked as they shifted in their seats, he quickly turned back when he heard Harry say, “And violating the wills my parents made and you witnessed.”
Still stunned by the removal of the scar and the connection to Voldemort, Albus feared the means to defeat the monster had also disappeared along with that scar, all his plans had been for naught, but just maybe he would be able to salvage something from the situation, yes he thought if he could find out how Voldemort was brought back he still might be able to tie the Harry to his fate, “I did what I had to, to ensure that you survived, those were dark times back then and with your godfather who I had thought at the time the secret keeper to be Sirius, it was the only way to keep you out of the hands of the death eaters that surely would have tried to take retribution for their lords demise out on you.”
Steepeling his fingers in front of his face, laying them along the length of his nose Harry pulled a white leather bound journal out of his pocket, the one Sirius had given him, “Another one of your lies headmaster, your whole life seems to be based on one lie after another.”
Jumping in his chair Albus yelled in fright, “where did you get that book from, I must warn you it contains very dark magic and will entrap your very soul…” reaching out to grab it as Harry pulled it out of his reach, “quickly you must give it to me so we can destroy it.”
Opening the cover to the indrawn hiss of fear from the headmaster Harry read the inscription inside,
“Spell journal and Grimoire of Lily Evens,
within these pages I shall record the ancient spells
that I recreate and my findings of the true beings of
magic I dream about, for they shall walk the earth
once more through my son.”
Looking back at the headmasters pasty white face Harry asked, “So what dark magic are we talking about here headmaster? Are we talking the same soul ensnaring magic that mum writes about as she develops the Fidelius charm and teaches it to you, “turning the pages to the back of the book he glanced back up, “Or how about when she writes about you forcing them to use Pettigrew as the secret keeper and that you preformed the spell as none of the participants to be hidden or hold the secret could perform the spell.”
Albus looked at his professors hoping to garner some support and seeing one forthcoming sighed, “How did you get that book, as far as I know it is still safely hidden in the headmasters library, as I was unable to open it, hoping to learn the magic your mother created within?”
Holding the book up and smiling before pocketing it Harry smirked at the memory when he bound the book to him thus destroying the other copy, “This is the twin book to the one you had stolen, though I have taken care of that little fact and used this one to destroy the other. Mum did not really trust you or Wizarding kind in general…so she made plans and backup plans to those to ensure my safety.”
Glaring angrily at the headmaster Harry hissed out letting all the anger he felt to the other show in his voice, “did you know that if you had not deigned to play god with my life, as you do others, my true family would have raised me and I could have destroyed Voldemort before he built himself a new body.”
“You keep far too many secrets for any ones comfort, so tell me headmaster are you going to stop with the lies and finally tell me what you should have back in first year,“ Harry demanded, “your lies are going to come out to the public very soon, think about how you answer very carefully.”
Shaking his head Albus did not know what to do, should he take the chance and tell Harry what he wanted to know or chance that he would alienate the boy further, he decided to try stalling, ‘I have done everything for the good of our world Harry, while I knew you would grow up unloved and not cared for, I knew you would grow up…”
“Did it every cross your addled mind that by ensuring I was raised exactly like Voldemort that I would turn out like him?” Harry was beyond angry right now and feeling the connection to the energies beneath his feet started to unravel them and assign them to someone new.
Seeing the shock in the headmasters face Harry laughed scornfully, “Don’t bother I can see it never crossed your mind.”
Albus swayed ever so slightly a she felt something in leave, but as it was such a slight connection he ignored it and focusing on Harry rising reached for his connection to the castle, “I am sorry my boy but until we finish I cannot allow you to lea…” frantic Albus searched and could not find the connection to the castle or its wards, eh had no way to control the school.
Placing on hand on Draco’s shoulder Harry pressed him back down as he started to rise in his chair, “Do you know how easy it was to give the wards and the guardianship of the castle to someone else, Hogwarts was eager to give control over someone who would actually take her warnings to heart and try to protect the students. You are headmaster in name only now.”
Albus fearfully glanced at Minerva, “:Quickly Minerva lock down the castle until we can return the wards to their rightful place.”
Shaking her head sadly Minerva had felt her connection cut off several minutes ago, “sadly Albus I do not have the wards or a connection to the castle any longer. And frankly with what has come to light here and what I have learned this summer I will have to ask the board of governors to remove you.”
Reaching for his wand Albus had one last card to play, or so he thought, “I am still the head of the Wizengamot so I will have to arrest you for your unwarranted attacks on two students along with kidnapping and the attack of a professor.” He froze as his hand touched his wand as the sound of metal sliding along metal filled the room as two twin blades appeared from behind and crossed at his neck, the slightest movement would remove his head.
Letting the glamour fall away from his eyes Harry laughed, “You honestly expected me to be that naive to confront you without taking every precaution Dumbledore,” removing his hand From Draco’s shoulder Harry moved to the side, this is why Draco was here after all, “Stand and strip Draco.”
Not being able to get his mind around the fact that Harry’s eyes were tri-colored a vibrant gold, green and silver Albus stuttered, ‘how…how is this possible, the Potters are and old family and have no connection to the rulers of magic.”
“I know, but my mum on the other hand…” harry was enjoying the show, on one hand he had Draco stripping next to him on the other he had Dumbledore looking like the oath breaking fool he was. Decisions, decisions he thought as he tried to decide which to enjoy more.
“She was a Muggleborn…” Albus tried to deny as his eyes frantically sought the eyes of the others in the room only to see all of Harry’s guards had also the same damming tri-colored eyes and whimpered, “Wasn’t she?”
Harry Caressed the very taut bulging stomach next to him, “as you can see Draco is very pregnant so the excuse you were operating under is dispelled. Let’s not forget that your stupid laws do not in any way shape or form bind me. The Sidhe only submit to the Ancient Powers and their King no mere mortal.”
Albus gazing at the very round belly of the Malfoy heir had lost, “everything I have worked so hard for is destroyed, “he muttered as he gazed at the distended belly.
“I am still waiting for an explanation on why Voldemort is targeting me and why you felt like you could play god with my life Dumbledore.” Harry was one step away from giving the order to end the life of the miserable wizard in front of him.
Sensing that the stubborn man in front of him would not say anything further Harry gazed and the stunned and angered professors that had witnessed this meeting with sadness, “It seems that so early in the term you will have to replace more than the potions master and defense professor, I do apologize for that Minerva and for leaving the students the ultimate once that will suffer for it.”
“It is not your fault Harry,” glancing angrily at the man behind the desk Minerva came to a decision, “I would like to talk to you later in your quarters, maybe you would be willing to loan me several of your people to fill the spots temporarily until I can hire replacements.”
“Professor Snape is a spy for our side harry killing him would doom us all,” Albus panicked and moving forward felt the blades touch the skin of his neck and all but pleaded, “You mustn’t kill him.” Albus winced at the laughter that filled the room…it was truly evil he thought just like the creature that wore his pupils form standing in front of him.
“I am Unseelie headmaster…in fact I am the King of the Unseelie. So I shall go down to the Great Hall for lunch and sit there and allow him to attack me…then he shall pay for the suffering he was wrought on others, his screams will be the music in the Hallway of Mortality that will warn others what will happen if they cross their King…then when I truly tire of his screams I shall offer him true death.” Harry smiled at the headmaster, “After all you have allowed him free reign to torture any student he wishes with impunity, and you encouraged it with my arrival to help forge your tool.”
Pointing at Draco’s nakedness Harry turned, “Get dressed Draco before I shock the professors into coronaries by taking you right here,” reaching the door he glanced back at the old man sitting there, “I am no mortals tool Dumbledore,” before he grabbed Draco’s robe covered arm and started down the steps.
this one of course did not come out exactly as i planned out so I might put some more of the back story I wrote out into the appropriate sections.
REMEMBER
I post the chapters at scene breaks and even though this is chapter 21 when finished it might end up being chapter 10 or 11 in reality, depends on how much I add or subtract when NaNo is over.
Warnings for:
Slash I think so
Bashing = oh definitely
the start of enslavement or rape scenes = certainly contains heavy forshadowing for it
I did not get around to the planned killings in this chapter but should get to some next
the gloves have come off
Halfway to the hospital wing Harry stopped and glanced back as he heard a small struggle behind him followed by a whimper of pain seeing Deven had things well in hand he continued walking towards the infirmary, placing his hand on the door Harry had a thought and motioning for Brian to came close he whispered his suspicions and sent him on his way to track down McGonagall to get directions. Opening the doors he walked into the infirmary and glanced around the room spotting Draco and the others off in one corner while on the other side of the infirmary the Cu Sith was sitting glaring at the potion master who had taken refuge behind his bed.
Bustling over after hearing the door to the infirmary open Pomfrey looked up and noticed one of the Slytherin students being dragged in pointed to a bed near the middle, “put him over there and I will be with him in a minute, what happened to him anyway?” she asked as she tried once more to force the potion down the young Weasley’s throat, insuring he got rest, but once again was stopped by the boys arm and Draco Malfoy, “Now listen here you two he needs to take this potion and rest. And you lot can clear out and visit him later, he needs his rest,” She huffed.
Smiling sadly at how protective the medi-witch was to those that came through her doors, but seemed ineffective in the long term for those that really did need her help, like his self he thought, “I am sorry Madam Pomfrey but Ron and the others shall be returning to our rooms, he can rest then.”
“So much like your father, ordering those you know better around, like you are a god or something,” Severus sneered around that blasted beast, “Fifty points from Gryffindor Potter and detention for a month for talking back to your betters.” Catching a glimpse of one of his Slytherin’s being man handled by one of those blasted strangers he scowled, “Nott what are you doing here, unhand him you fool.”
Ducking back down as that green eyed and green haired beast growled at him he knew that this was Potters fault and he bellowed out, “Potter release him this instant and call that infernal beast of yours off before I see you expelled.”
Laughing Harry ignored the man, “As if I care what you think. Now Madam Pomfrey how about releasing Ron so we can take him home so he can rest and bee assured he is safe.”
Seeing she was outnumbered and that the boy in question was already half way out the door with the support of his friends, though the Malfoy boy helping startled her no end, “very well, seeing they are making an escape while your goons keep me cornered I have no choice.” Pulling her wand carefully so that it was not pointed at any of the non smiling men she pointed to the bed, “well put him there and I will take a look at him,” before sniffing smelling that the boy must be in severe pain to soil himself like that. Frustrated she tried to push past the men so she could get to the one holding the Nott boy, as he did not seem capable of following instruction. Glancing over at Harry she saw the cold hard look in his eyes and shivered, something was going on here and she was sure she did not want any part of it, “Harry at least let the boy change out of those soiled clothes…tell your man to put the boy in the bed so I can take care of him.”
Glancing over towards Deven and seeing she did have a point and the air was a little foul in here Harry smirked, “Deven do as the kind lady asks…” seeing Deven raise an eyebrow as he glanced towards him Harry sneered in the direction of the potions master, “Rip those filthy things off his body so he does not track that filth back with us. That should make Madam Pomfrey happy…I know it will make my nose happy.”
Walking over to the Cu Sith Harry laid his hand on its back und scratched it gently at the nape of its neck, “thank you my friend for keeping the others safe,” a few more scratches and laughs at the large hounds pleasured woofs, “Shall we go home my friend?”
Turning around to see Deven had finished stripping the Nott boy Harry let his eyes roam up and down the body that was now fully exposed, “Very nice indeed” before with the giant hound in tow turned and followed Deven as he dragged the teen out of the infirmary.”

Traveling through the mirror with the Cu Sith was an interesting experience, it almost felt as Harry was enveloped in a warm mothers embrace all soft and furry. Laughing when the giant hound licked his face and ran off out towards the lake woofing like he was chasing a rabbit Harry relaxed now that he was safely home.
Removing his clothes and dropping them to the floor in the wardrobe Harry sighed in relief as he stretched, deciding to lay on the beach for as long as it was quiet, knowing that the twins would be over after supper to let him know all the gossip and rumors floating around. Not getting very far before he remembered about his prisoner Harry went back to the entry and placing his hand on the wall and asked the Sithen mentally for a cell he could place prisoners in, smiling as he felt the familiar scent of roses and leather he turned and motioned Deven to drag the frightened teen over.
When Nott had been dragged close enough Harry reached out and cupped the teens ball sack and then moved to his flaccid penis and stroked it gently causing it to lengthen all the while watching the horror and fear on the teens face, “yes you will do nicely,” he felt the teen try to pull away from his hand as he stroked him to hardness as he blushed in shame.
Pushing him into the cell Harry stood back as a heavy clear panel descended from the ceiling, with holes in it large enough for a small hand to go through, he watched as Theodore Nott tried to cover his nakedness as he retreated to the corner.
Draco and Neville walked out of the house carrying drinks, handing a glass with cold juice in it to Harry, Draco looked in the cell and stared for a moment trying to decide how he felt about the Slytherin that had tried to injure him, shrugging his shoulder he really did not feel anything about the whole situation and had to wonder if Nott would soon be carrying a child or only be used for a sex slave. Feeling arms go around him from behind and the scent he had come to associate with Deven Draco leaned back into the embrace as Harry turned and caressed his bulging pregnant stomach.
Hearing the playful barks of the Cwn Annwn Harry turned and smiled as he watched Alex playing fetch with several of the hounds a the same time the others were trying to play tag with him. Feeling his own growing hardness Harry glanced down and noticed the very erect member pulsing to Draco’s heartbeat laying against his belly, “pulling Deven into a deep kiss he turned and brought his mouth to Draco’s before letting go and pulling them towards the beach.
Pointing his thumb over his shoulder towards the cell Deven asked, “What about him?”
Harry was stroking Draco as they walked to Draco’s delightful moans, “He will keep till tomorrow afternoon.”

Albus was troubled, two of his professors had been terrorized and two more were solidly thinking they had gotten what they deserved and told him quite vocally that they were through overlooking the mans nastier tendencies. He had lost all control over Harry and that frightened him, what was worse though is it seems during the time he had been missing he had really studied the Wizarding worlds laws and customs very thoroughly, that bothered him for the simple reason that he had bent and broken a large number of laws all those years ago, laws the current ministry would use to lock him away just at the time he needed to be visible the most.
Slamming his hand on his desk, Dammit, with Voldemort back they needed to be pulling together not fracturing before they even had a chance to organize and bring to life the Order of the Phoenix once more.
Glancing at the planetary display behind his desk he did not have a lot of time left until the meeting and he still did not know how much he was going to tell him, or even if he should.
Hearing a knock on his door he panicked for a moment before looking in the crystal hidden behind a stack of papers, “Come in Filius,” trying to seem normal and casual eyes failing to fully twinkle Albus asked, “something I can do for you Filius?”
“Oh don’t mind me Albus I am here for the meeting with Mr. Potter, I believe Minerva informed you of the new restrictions surrounding you and any dealings you have with the young man,” Filius smiled when he saw the shock in the headmasters face. Flicking his wand towards the couch he climbed up the steps that he conjured into the transfigured chair on top of the couch, the perfect position to participate from.
Could this day get any worse he thought, “Filius I really think your time would be better spent elsewhere don’t you, after all as Minerva so clearly pointed out,” he was still smarting over that conversation, “Harry is no longer student so I really so no need to trouble two of our professor who should be doing other things from attending something that is no longer school business.”
Waving him off Filius was enjoying himself, “oh no trouble at all I have everything taken care of, Pomona is covering for me if any one needs any thing and all my prefects have my total trust.”
“I…” Albus trailed off as his door opened and in walked his transfiguration professor, opening his mouth to try to at least talk her out of staying he was interrupted.
“Save it Albus I am in no mood for your games this morning, one of my favorite students in the hospital wing for doing something so monumentally stupid it is a wonder her professors think so highly of her, while another is about to arrive that you have done great harm to and is planning on leaving the Wizarding world if he does not get answers,” slamming her hand down on his desk to get his full attention, “Answers he is damn well entitled too,” moving and taking a seat opposite of Filius she waited and glared at the flustered Headmaster.

Alex and Brian walked the steps from the second floor into the entry and scanned the area for threats, seeing that it was mostly students milling about and the only one that had taken any notice of their arrival was a slender red headed girl they motioned that it was clear and stepped back against the wall allowing the rest of their group to descend.
Neville came in from outside followed by his Gran and they moved off towards the Great Hall still in a deep discussion of the list of names she had researched for him and Ginny did not even give him a second glance as she saw him that morning at breakfast. Glancing back out the doors she perked up as she noticed Harry and Draco walk down the steps, running over she once more tried to entice his attention, for a boy he sure was acting totally clueless, “Hi Harry do you have a moment?”
Thinking she was going to ask about her brother Harry stopped, “Not really, I have a meeting in a few minutes with the headmaster will it take long?” he pulled Draco in closer to his side as a group of Slytherin students came out of the Great Hall, glaring their way.
Frowning as Harry pulled Draco in possessively she tried again, but his time watching the body language between the two of them, “I thought we could find time to go out some time, maybe a Hogsmeade weekend or you could help me study defense as the defense professor is not going to be teaching us anything useful this year.”
Looking at Draco for a moment Harry glanced back to the frowning Weasley girl, “Ginny I don’t even know you. I thought you were going to ask about how your brother was doing after almost being sliced in half, but it seems all girls are mental. I have no intention of studying with you or any other girl. In fact I am no longer a student here, so if you will excuse me I do have an appointment to keep.”
Angry Ginny yelled after them, “What can that ponce give you that I can’t, at least with me you…” she trailed off as Harry twirled around and stared at her hate filing his face.
“Leave now…go before you say something you will regret. I will be having a long talk with both of your parents over your behavior Miss Weasley, the only thing saving you at this moment is that you are Ron’s sister and he for some odd reason does care for you.” Resuming his treck to the Headmasters office Harry gave one last parting shot, “if I were you I would start packing as I hear there are some excellent girls only academies.”
Leaving the fuming girl behind they continued down the corridor, only to be met and slowed down once more by another distraction, or in the case of Collin Creevy, something of his doing, motioning for the other to join them, “Hey Collin, I forgot all about it and I am sorry for worrying you so, come along with us and if you stick with Brian here, “Harry pointed to the Sidhe next to the wall in front of them, the one with the closed cropped brown hair, “as soon as my meeting is over with Dumbledore we will take you to see your brother.”
Reaching over and pulling the younger boy into a hug Harry felt his relief, “I really am sorry, I thought we left him sleeping on the common room couch in our tower, that way if he woke he could make it back to the dorm, but as we left last night he was collected along with everyone else, at least I know that he is having a good time playing with Alex’s puppies when we left.”
It took all Draco’s self control, and knowing Harry would not be happy with him to hold in his laughter when Harry described the hell hounds as puppies, ho win Merlin’s name anything the size of a pony could be called a puppy.
Giving Harry a hug Colin beamed up at him, ‘Thanks Harry,” before running over and latching onto Brian talking a mile a minute, not giving him time to interject his own comments.
Finally approaching the gargoyle that hid the headmasters office Harry almost let out a groan of frustration, there waiting for them was one of his former dorm mates, “hey Seamus, did you need to see me too?”
Thinking this was not as good of an idea as when he gathered his courage up to do confront Harry this morning Seamus gulped before nervously stepping towards Harry’s group, “H…Har…Harry I wanted to say sorry for all mum and me have done in not believing in you,” wincing this was harder that it looked, sighing he decided to just blurt it out and hope his family was not hurt, “I noticed things the other day, and after class yesterday and seeing the Cwn Annwn, and him,” Seams pointed to Alex, “Red ears and all and he defers to you…always…”
Shuffling his foot around, “there is no way he is anything but the Lord of the Hunt, and you command him…and me mum has not been so nice to you and, “Falling to his knees Seamus pleaded, “sorry…so sorry Harry.”
Scratching his head Harry looked at Draco who shrugged before looking around to his guards to see if anyone had any idea what was going on, it was Kevin of all of them that spoke up, “he is afraid you will be angry with his family for the words they have spoken against you my King, he fears your anger will unleash the Huntsman and the Wild Hunt on his family for his mothers words.”
“Me da always taught us not to disrespect the wee folk, never to talk bad about Fairy, “Seamus was resigned to his fate, but maybe he could spare his family.
Sighing Harry did not have time for this, “Seamus stand up, if I killed everyone that ever said a bad thing about me behind my back there would be no one left in this school, go owl your mum and meet with her, she is allowed to come here any time she wishes you know, if she stops the badmouthing I will forget what she said,” sighing he looked at the closed gargoyle and groaned as once again it was a game of guess the password, “Go on Seamus, no hard feelings, unless it continues.”
Harry watched the shocked boy jump to his feet and run down the hall and walked up to the gargoyle and growled, “you have one chance to not be a melted puddle of goo…MOVE.”
Draco was actually very surprised when the Gargoyle did indeed move out of the way and the spiral stair case appeared.
Alex and Jesse quickly climbed the spiraling staircase so that they were in a position to assess those in the office as threats, even knowing that Deven waited in the shadows behind the headmaster ready to strike if needed.
Seeing the hand movement from Alex motioning him that it was all clear harry grabbed Draco’s elbow and stepped up on the spiral stairs and rode it to the top, finally Harry would get the answers he needed or retribution for years of torment and pain. Walking into the office Harry slowly scanned the room and nodded his head in greeting towards McGonagall and professor Flitwick and steered Draco into the open seat furthest away from the head master before taking the other empty seat. Staring at the old man who looked tired and determined he slipped of one of the shoes he was wearing instead of his boots and placed it on the cold stone floor.
Slightly taken aback when the tall fierce looking men strode through the door and exam the room before taking up posts on either side of the door Albus sighed, things were not going as he hoped, it would be so much harder to control the situation with unknown guards, it saddened him to know that Harry felt the need to bring body guards to this meeting, things must be truly that desperate for his side if he had lost any and all of the built up control on young Harry.
Before the calculating look in the headmasters eyes could go any further Harry interrupted the old man’s musings, taking control of the conversation from the start, “Since I demanded this meeting shall I start or are you going to try to weasel out information that by rights does not concern you.”
Ignoring the verbal barb Albus, careful not to make eye contact to give Tom a chance to read his thoughts, as he was firmly convinced that Tom had to be possessing the boy, as the pliable young man he had so carefully nurtured would never have done the things he did yesterday. “My boy I am afraid for you, I am afraid that Voldemort since regaining a body is deeply influencing you through the connection of your scar. It is imperative you learn Occlumancy, it will also help with the pain and visions you receive by means of that connection. I have already talked to Severus and under the guise of remedial potions you shall be instructed in protecting your mind every Tuesday and Thursday after dinner.”
Harry blinked as he stared at the old man, the stories must be true he thought, he was barking mad, he refused to see what was before his very eyes. Shaking his head Harry lifted the bangs showing his unblemished forehead to the headmaster, “what scar professor, the scar you told me back in first year was the result of a hideous curse and the healers said it could never be hidden or removed,” voice holding some of the anger Harry felt leak into his voice, “The scar that any competent healer would have taken one look at and promptly remove it, without any hint of trouble.”
Letting his bangs fall back as he sat back and enjoyed the shocked look on the headmasters face Harry let him know he did know how deep the betrayal went, “what and amazing lie you weaved all those years ago, but it does not hold up to the slightest bit of examination really. Hagrid took me from the ruins of my parents cottage directly to you that night in Surrey, where you promptly closed the scar and placed me on the doorstep of those people, without so much as a by your leave or asking informing them what had happened.”
Draco glanced around at the noises coming from the professors in the room and noticed how angry they looked as they shifted in their seats, he quickly turned back when he heard Harry say, “And violating the wills my parents made and you witnessed.”
Still stunned by the removal of the scar and the connection to Voldemort, Albus feared the means to defeat the monster had also disappeared along with that scar, all his plans had been for naught, but just maybe he would be able to salvage something from the situation, yes he thought if he could find out how Voldemort was brought back he still might be able to tie the Harry to his fate, “I did what I had to, to ensure that you survived, those were dark times back then and with your godfather who I had thought at the time the secret keeper to be Sirius, it was the only way to keep you out of the hands of the death eaters that surely would have tried to take retribution for their lords demise out on you.”
Steepeling his fingers in front of his face, laying them along the length of his nose Harry pulled a white leather bound journal out of his pocket, the one Sirius had given him, “Another one of your lies headmaster, your whole life seems to be based on one lie after another.”
Jumping in his chair Albus yelled in fright, “where did you get that book from, I must warn you it contains very dark magic and will entrap your very soul…” reaching out to grab it as Harry pulled it out of his reach, “quickly you must give it to me so we can destroy it.”
Opening the cover to the indrawn hiss of fear from the headmaster Harry read the inscription inside,
“Spell journal and Grimoire of Lily Evens,
within these pages I shall record the ancient spells
that I recreate and my findings of the true beings of
magic I dream about, for they shall walk the earth
once more through my son.”
Looking back at the headmasters pasty white face Harry asked, “So what dark magic are we talking about here headmaster? Are we talking the same soul ensnaring magic that mum writes about as she develops the Fidelius charm and teaches it to you, “turning the pages to the back of the book he glanced back up, “Or how about when she writes about you forcing them to use Pettigrew as the secret keeper and that you preformed the spell as none of the participants to be hidden or hold the secret could perform the spell.”
Albus looked at his professors hoping to garner some support and seeing one forthcoming sighed, “How did you get that book, as far as I know it is still safely hidden in the headmasters library, as I was unable to open it, hoping to learn the magic your mother created within?”
Holding the book up and smiling before pocketing it Harry smirked at the memory when he bound the book to him thus destroying the other copy, “This is the twin book to the one you had stolen, though I have taken care of that little fact and used this one to destroy the other. Mum did not really trust you or Wizarding kind in general…so she made plans and backup plans to those to ensure my safety.”
Glaring angrily at the headmaster Harry hissed out letting all the anger he felt to the other show in his voice, “did you know that if you had not deigned to play god with my life, as you do others, my true family would have raised me and I could have destroyed Voldemort before he built himself a new body.”
“You keep far too many secrets for any ones comfort, so tell me headmaster are you going to stop with the lies and finally tell me what you should have back in first year,“ Harry demanded, “your lies are going to come out to the public very soon, think about how you answer very carefully.”
Shaking his head Albus did not know what to do, should he take the chance and tell Harry what he wanted to know or chance that he would alienate the boy further, he decided to try stalling, ‘I have done everything for the good of our world Harry, while I knew you would grow up unloved and not cared for, I knew you would grow up…”
“Did it every cross your addled mind that by ensuring I was raised exactly like Voldemort that I would turn out like him?” Harry was beyond angry right now and feeling the connection to the energies beneath his feet started to unravel them and assign them to someone new.
Seeing the shock in the headmasters face Harry laughed scornfully, “Don’t bother I can see it never crossed your mind.”
Albus swayed ever so slightly a she felt something in leave, but as it was such a slight connection he ignored it and focusing on Harry rising reached for his connection to the castle, “I am sorry my boy but until we finish I cannot allow you to lea…” frantic Albus searched and could not find the connection to the castle or its wards, eh had no way to control the school.
Placing on hand on Draco’s shoulder Harry pressed him back down as he started to rise in his chair, “Do you know how easy it was to give the wards and the guardianship of the castle to someone else, Hogwarts was eager to give control over someone who would actually take her warnings to heart and try to protect the students. You are headmaster in name only now.”
Albus fearfully glanced at Minerva, “:Quickly Minerva lock down the castle until we can return the wards to their rightful place.”
Shaking her head sadly Minerva had felt her connection cut off several minutes ago, “sadly Albus I do not have the wards or a connection to the castle any longer. And frankly with what has come to light here and what I have learned this summer I will have to ask the board of governors to remove you.”
Reaching for his wand Albus had one last card to play, or so he thought, “I am still the head of the Wizengamot so I will have to arrest you for your unwarranted attacks on two students along with kidnapping and the attack of a professor.” He froze as his hand touched his wand as the sound of metal sliding along metal filled the room as two twin blades appeared from behind and crossed at his neck, the slightest movement would remove his head.
Letting the glamour fall away from his eyes Harry laughed, “You honestly expected me to be that naive to confront you without taking every precaution Dumbledore,” removing his hand From Draco’s shoulder Harry moved to the side, this is why Draco was here after all, “Stand and strip Draco.”
Not being able to get his mind around the fact that Harry’s eyes were tri-colored a vibrant gold, green and silver Albus stuttered, ‘how…how is this possible, the Potters are and old family and have no connection to the rulers of magic.”
“I know, but my mum on the other hand…” harry was enjoying the show, on one hand he had Draco stripping next to him on the other he had Dumbledore looking like the oath breaking fool he was. Decisions, decisions he thought as he tried to decide which to enjoy more.
“She was a Muggleborn…” Albus tried to deny as his eyes frantically sought the eyes of the others in the room only to see all of Harry’s guards had also the same damming tri-colored eyes and whimpered, “Wasn’t she?”
Harry Caressed the very taut bulging stomach next to him, “as you can see Draco is very pregnant so the excuse you were operating under is dispelled. Let’s not forget that your stupid laws do not in any way shape or form bind me. The Sidhe only submit to the Ancient Powers and their King no mere mortal.”
Albus gazing at the very round belly of the Malfoy heir had lost, “everything I have worked so hard for is destroyed, “he muttered as he gazed at the distended belly.
“I am still waiting for an explanation on why Voldemort is targeting me and why you felt like you could play god with my life Dumbledore.” Harry was one step away from giving the order to end the life of the miserable wizard in front of him.
Sensing that the stubborn man in front of him would not say anything further Harry gazed and the stunned and angered professors that had witnessed this meeting with sadness, “It seems that so early in the term you will have to replace more than the potions master and defense professor, I do apologize for that Minerva and for leaving the students the ultimate once that will suffer for it.”
“It is not your fault Harry,” glancing angrily at the man behind the desk Minerva came to a decision, “I would like to talk to you later in your quarters, maybe you would be willing to loan me several of your people to fill the spots temporarily until I can hire replacements.”
“Professor Snape is a spy for our side harry killing him would doom us all,” Albus panicked and moving forward felt the blades touch the skin of his neck and all but pleaded, “You mustn’t kill him.” Albus winced at the laughter that filled the room…it was truly evil he thought just like the creature that wore his pupils form standing in front of him.
“I am Unseelie headmaster…in fact I am the King of the Unseelie. So I shall go down to the Great Hall for lunch and sit there and allow him to attack me…then he shall pay for the suffering he was wrought on others, his screams will be the music in the Hallway of Mortality that will warn others what will happen if they cross their King…then when I truly tire of his screams I shall offer him true death.” Harry smiled at the headmaster, “After all you have allowed him free reign to torture any student he wishes with impunity, and you encouraged it with my arrival to help forge your tool.”
Pointing at Draco’s nakedness Harry turned, “Get dressed Draco before I shock the professors into coronaries by taking you right here,” reaching the door he glanced back at the old man sitting there, “I am no mortals tool Dumbledore,” before he grabbed Draco’s robe covered arm and started down the steps.
