Chapter 11: Basic training.



Harry and Draco apparated to the coordinates that was given on the deed to the hunting lodge. They appeared outside an old flagstone wall that looked to run around the perimeter of the property. After entering the grounds, they took in the view. The lodge itself was huge, and had flagstone walls with large hewn beams around the top and about the roof gables. It had a high-pitched slate roof, and large double pane windows, each containing leaded grillwork. The roof was pierced in several places with massive stone fireplaces. There was a set of large stone steps that led up onto a fully covered porch that must have been at least sixteen feet wide and encircled the entire lodge. The porch itself held dark green wicker furniture placed here and there for a comfortable feel. Harry walked up to the door and inserted the key, then gave it a twist. He felt the wards dance over him, testing him to see if he was the rightful owner. The key turned backwards in his fingers as if by itself and pushed it from the lock. The first thing Harry thought was that it was turning him away. As soon as he thought this though, he heard a click, and the huge oak door swung inwards allowing them entrance. They both proceeded into the main sitting room of the lodge. The ceiling was vaulted, and was approximately thirty feet in height at its center by Harry\'s calculations. It was of exposed beams and framework, and there was a massive iron chandelier that hang high from the center beam. It had large ever-lasting candles around its circumference, maybe four inches in diameter each. It had sprung to life as soon as the door had opened. There was already a roaring fire going in the massive stone fireplace at the rear of the room. It was large enough that one could walk into it easily and still have a couple of feet over ones head. It was wide enough to hold logs at least four feet in length. There were leather chairs and couches everywhere setting on an oak floor covered with huge Persian rugs. All along the walls were game that had been mounted here and there, some magical, and some not. Both boys were looking around the place taking it all in, when they both jumped at a voice emanating from the upper floors walkway to their left.



"Harry, what on earth are you doing hear"? Remus Lupin weakly exclaimed. "And, who is that with you"?



Harry quickly spun around to the left on the spot, looking quickly upwards to the voice. "Uh, Remus, I could be asking the same question"? Harry conveniently left out the part about who was with him for now.



Remus nodded his head, slowly made his way around the walkway, and then down the staircase. "Well Harry, that is a good question. It is getting close to the full moon, and this is one place I go for the change. I have a warded room upstairs that Sirius had built for me. The question is now, what are you doing here, and with who looks to be Lucius Malfoys son"?



Harry placed his hand on Draco\'s shoulder so he wouldn\'t draw his wand. "Er, Remus, there has been a lot to take place over the last several days. First and foremost, Draco has come over to my side, and has provided me with a huge amount of useful information. Secondly, the night Draco showed up, Vernon had just beaten up aunt Petunia, so we had to make a run for it. We left for the Leaky Cauldron, and have been there ever since until today. I think we should set down, this will take a while". Harry finished as he grabbed Draco\'s hand and led him to one of the large couches by the fire.



Remus noticed this but held his comment until he heard more. As they set down, he was first to speak. "OK, I am glad that young Mr. Malfoy has seen that the light side is the place to be. I guess he wishes to go with the Order then"?



"Well Remus, no. He is on my side, not the orders, nor Dumbledore’s. I hate to break it to you, but that is the way I stand now after all that has came to life. Have you seen this mornings Daily Prophet by any chance"? Harry inquired.



"Your side"? At this he looked at Draco who was now nodding his head in the affirmative. "What do you mean by this Harry? You should be at your aunts now for protection as we speak"?



At this both boys snorted. Harry dug into a backpack they had all their belongings shrunken and stored in. He then retrieved that mornings Daily Prophet and handed it over to Remus. "Remus, you are one of the only few, if not the only one I can trust with any of this. It\'s best you read this first, and it is correct". Harry solemnly replied.



Remus took the paper and began to read Skeeter’s article. The further he read, the more his mouth gaped open, and his eyebrows rose. When he was finished, he looked up quickly at Harry to see if he was pulling his leg. He found though, the most serious expression he had ever seen on Harry\'s face. "Harry! What\'s all this about, explain at once"!



Harry looked quickly over at Draco, and then reached down and held Draco\'s hand. He then looked back at Remus and began to explain. "Well, it started by a letter from Draco, telling me he had information for me, and that he was fixing to be fed to the death eaters. Voldermort had shown up at his house the night he sent the letter, wanting more than just a death eater by the sounds of it, if you get my drift. A couple of nights later, Draco apparated to Little Whinging where we talked, then went back to the Dursley\'s. Beforehand, Vernon was fed up with being nice that evening, and was going to kick me out. Aunt Petunia put her foot down and Vernon hit her, knocking her down. I had to use magic to subdue the fat bastard. Funny thing, I never did get a warning from the ministry over it. Anyhow, after I went to meet Draco, he and I healed Petunia there the best we could, collected her and my things, then disapparated to the Leaky Cauldron. There, Tom put us up and kept us hidden until we could get things set in order. Aunt Petunia now has a flat in London, and has Dudley with her, who by the way, Vernon also beat. Since the lodge fell to me, Draco and I decided to retreat here. I\'m going to put it under the Fidelius charm this evening. The only ones I want in here at the moment are us three, Aunt Petunia, and Dudley".



"What brought all this on Harry, you\'re not safe here"? Remus asked.



"Lies and secrets Remus, or matter-of-factly, Dumbledore’s lies and secrets. First, I think this blood protection thing he talks about is all bollocks. I also found out that he has skimmed two and a half million galleons off me". (At this, Remus’s eyebrows shot to his hairline). "Gringotts found he had been forging my name all these years, and I got about half of it back from Dumbledore’s own account. I gave it to Aunt Petunia to live on. He had just started to swindle me on Sirius\'s money, but we caught the first draught before it could go through. It was for fifty thousand galleons if I recall. I had him taken off as my administrator, and placed Griphook the goblin as my sole one. He was who caught this during my visit, and explained to me all I actually had. He was also who got back part of the money. I am not funding this fucking war for nobody, and the bastard had been stealing off me since my parents died. He was the cause Sirius is now dead, and admitted to that at the end of school. He has been keeping it secret who is responsible for leaking the prophecy to Voldermort. He has plenty more secrets too, and I fully intend to find them all out. He also had my powers bound to at least half since I was a baby. He had added tracking spells, one of dark magic on my wand. That I doubt is but just the tip of the iceberg Remus". Harry finished and ran his hand through his hair with a slow sigh.



Remus set looking at the two boys, his mouth moving like a carp out of water. He could hardly make his voice work to save him. "You’re sure about all of this? I can\'t believe this; I mean this sounds like some big tall tale. And, what about you and Draco here, what\'s this"? He pointed at them holding hands.



"Draco\'s now my boyfriend". Harry said, holding up his hand to cut Remus off. "He has not done one thing to me to cause this, and as a matter of fact, I wanted it as much as he did. As a matter of fact, Aunt Petunia accepts it. There\'s another big change, she told me a lot. She finally seen the light and changed too. She doesn’t trust Dumbledore either about the so-called blood protection wards. If you remember, Voldermort carries my blood now. By all rights, he could walk right past any wards using our blood. Also, since Dumbledore already knew the prophecy, why didn\'t he just have me go into the hall of prophecies and retrieve the copy and destroy it instead of waiting for all of last year to happen"?



"What do you mean he knew what the prophecy said? Who told him the prophecy? Who told Voldermort about the prophecy to begin with? Also, it never occurred to me about Voldermort having your blood now". Remus questioned.



"Well, let\'s start in the order you asked the questions. Dumbledore knew the prophecy because he was the one it was originally told to by professor Trelawney no less. Snape was who told Voldermort! He was listening outside the room that Trelawney and Dumbledore was in at the Hogshead, but was caught as the prophecy had just started to be told, and thrown out. And yes, if you\'ll remember, they used my blood in the ritual to resurrect Voldermort during the Tri-Wizard Tournament".



"Can you prove any of this"? Remus asked.



"Oh yes". Draco finally spoke up. "I have several phials of memories that Snape and my father left at the manor with me, and also a pensieve to view them all in". At this, Draco finished with a large smirk.



"It would be easy to withdraw copies of our memories of the Gringotts meeting for you too Remus, as Draco and I were both there". Harry told him. "Also, don\'t you find it odd that Dumbledore only told me I had one vault, and not what I actually had? Don\'t you think it\'s funny that I had never been read my parents will, nor anyone offered me anything about Sirius\'s either"?



Remus just shook his head trying to comprehend all that he was learning. He then noticed the rings Harry was wearing. "Harry, what are all those rings? They look to be signet rings if I\'m not mistaken".



Harry held his hands out for Remus to look at all three rings. The expression that came over Remus\'s face was almost comical. His eyes had widened to an abnormal amount, and the carping mouth was back in full force. "Well apparently Remus, I am heir not only to the Potter fortune, and will soon be a lord, but I am also heir to two of the founders, Godric Gryffindor, and Salazar Slytherin, both on my dad\'s side. We checked it out in the Potter family lineage book, and the family tree. It was way back, but we were kin to the Gaunt’s also, just not one as inbred as Voldermorts family. Antisis Gaunt, one of Voldermorts great-great aunts, married Geoffrey Peverell. The Peverells had married into the Gryffindors. The Gaunt’s descended from Slytherin".



At this, Draco gripped Harry\'s hand extra tight causing him to look around at him. Draco looked like he had been doused with ice water. "I remember now, I remember Harry. The Peverells Harry, their coat of arms, the cloak Harry". At the end Draco took a huge swallow, then turned to look at Harry to see if he understood.



"You mean, the stone may be in the Potter heirloom vault"? Harry questioned nervously.



Draco only nodded; it was about all he could think to do at the moment. Finally, he came back to himself. "Yes Harry, it very well could be. That would mean that you could have two of the three".



Remus was lost at this; he couldn\'t understand what on earth was transpiring before his eyes. "What are you tow talking about"?



"Remus, you must swear to secrecy on this, and I mean nobody is to know this outside this room, especially Dumbledore". Harry replied with finality at the end.



"I won\'t breathe a word cub, you know I won\'t. You’re almost like my own son in some ways. I would never tell anything knowingly to hurt you". Remus answered with all the conviction in the world.



"Ok Remus, have you ever heard of the \'Deathly Hallows\', or ever heard the \'The Tales of Beedle the Bard\', a children\'s storybook"? Harry asked as he watched Remus\'s reaction.



"Well sure I have, you surely don\'t believe those tales are real do you"? Remus replied amused. He then took in the seriousness of both boys setting across from him, and sobered up quickly.



"Oh they\'re real Remus, or at least one story is partly true. Remember reading about \'The Tale of the Three Brothers\'? Well, I just so happen to have the cloak, and can prove it. We also think Dumbledore has the wand, and I may have the stone locked in the family vault". Harry said with a smirk.



Remus looked totally dumbfounded at this. "How do you know you have the cloak? How can you tell if it\'s the same one in the story? What about the Peverells"? Remus asked now highly interested.



"Well the invisibility cloak my father left me, and Dumbledore had it until I returned to school, has the Peverell family crest on it. The same crest shown in the book, or so Draco tells me. There were three Peverell brothers, two of which died at a young age compared to my great-something grandfather. He was the one who would have had the cloak". Harry stated, as it all seemed to fit together for him now. "Draco had overheard his father discussing the Deathly Hallows, and who was supposed to have had them when they were made. We just found out I had the cloak".



"What makes you think Dumbledore has the wand? Remus inquired.



"Well, I have heard my father and Severus say that Dumbledore\'s power actually comes from the wand he now uses. They said he took it from Grindelwald when they finally dueled. It is rumored it could be the famous \'Death Stick\', or the \'Wand of Destiny\', who some also say is one of the \'Deathly Hallows\'. Draco explained. "I don\'t think the Dark Lord knows anything about the three brothers, or the Hallows, but he has wanted that wand for himself".



"Oh good God". Remus said as he swallowed down the bile now in his throat. "Do you know what he could do with all three of them? The stone especially, it would be horrible. He could conjure up armies of inferi with it"!



"They say the one who holds all three will be the master of death". Replied Draco looking very sober. "Don\'t you also find it funny that Dumbledore held onto Harry\'s cloak all those years"?



"Let me tell you and Harry some things about Dumbledore I know of as fact. At one time, Dumbledore and Grindelwald were friends. Muggles attacked Dumbledore’s sister, and his father was sent to Azkaban for doing something to them in revenge. The old Slytherins remember Dumbledore’s time in school, and what he thought about muggles then, he hated them. It is said that he and Grindelwald were going to start a revolution, and put the muggles in their place. They ended up having a falling out, and went their separate ways for a while. Then after all the killings by Grindelwald tallied up, Dumbledore was forced to act against his one-time friend. They dueled, and Dumbledore came out on top. Grindelwald was put in a special prison that he himself had started to build to house his enemies. He still lives as far as I know. That would be where we could find out more to the story. Another would be to talk to Dumbledore\'s brother". Draco gravely spoke looking at both for their reactions.



Harry stood up and started pacing at this revelation. "I have a hard time believing that about Dumbledore. I mean he has always held muggles in such high regard every time he has spoke of them. Can you prove any of this Draco, it had to happen at least a hundred years ago".



"Dumbledore and Grindelwald\'s time was around 1899 to 1900. Grindelwald was actually helping Germany out around world war two, or in the 1940\'s, and over there somewhere is Nurmengard Prison. Draco\'s guess is correct he is still alive. I myself didn\'t know for sure about their connection, but had heard rumors. Of course most of Dumbledore’s friends like Elphias Doge will deny he and Grindelwald had any friendship. Dumbledore always changes the subject if asked. The rumor was that they became friends after Dumbledore graduated from Hogwarts shortly after his mother died. His brother, which you probably know is Aberforth, and runs the Hogshead does not like him much". (At this, Harry gave Remus an incredulous look). "Aberforth and Dumbledore had a big row when their sister died, the people at the funeral seen it. That\'s why Dumbledore has a crooked nose; Aberforth laid him out in front of her coffin they say. They also say that Dumbledore fell in love with Grindelwald and is gay. Then after seeing Grindelwald for what he was, changed him".



"Oh yes, the prison Nurmengard. Do either of you know what\'s written over its doors"? Asked Draco. When he seen both shake their heads no, he continued, "For the Greater Good! Isn\'t that Dumbledore’s favorite motto"?



Harry set down at this and put his head in his hands. "See, more and more finally comes out. Now Remus, you know why I\'ve started doing what I have. I can\'t trust anyone except Draco and you. Why you may ask? Well you neither have lied to me, and you have given me the information I should have already had years ago. My Godfather would be here right now if I only new a portion of what I do now". Harry then raised his head looking at them both. "It\'s even possible that if my parents knew everything, they would be living too"! At this, Harry sobbed.



Draco quickly made his way across the couch to Harry\'s side and wrapped him in his arms. He started to whisper to Harry, calming him down. "Harry my love, what\'s done is done. We have a future to make, and we will get through all this, I promise you. Remus and I will always be there for you, and so will your aunt Petunia. That has to count for something to be cheerful about".



Harry finally pulled back and looked into Draco\'s eyes, which he noticed had tears in them too. Harry could see that him being hurt affected Draco too. He knew then that Draco really loved him. There and then, Harry made up his mind. He leaned into Draco and gave him a chaste kiss, then stood up. He squared his shoulders and spoke. "I want to be trained as much as possible before we go back to Hogwarts, that is if we go back. We have our owls now, and could possibly put off the whole year for home schooling. I want trained in both light and dark magic". (Remus looked shocked at this, but Draco looked proudly on at him). "I won\'t turn dark Remus, but sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. The flimsy spells they teach at Hogwarts will not stop death eaters, let alone Voldermort. You know this as well as I do, and Draco has shown me the true difference in the magic, its intent. Dumbledore would never show me this or explain it. I know about Dumbledore moving a huge number of the library books into the restricted section when he became Headmaster. Funny Voldermort had access to all those when he was there. Heh, what\'s funnier still is that right after Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald, he went and brought young Tom Riddle to the school. He got rid of one monster and helped create another. Poor old Moaning Myrtle was his first victim that I know of. Killed by the basilisk he let lose the first time. Well, it\'s time I finally put a stop to it now that my magic has been released. I can do things now I only dreamed of being able to do". At this, Harry waved his hand and caused every piece of furniture to levitate off the floor about a foot in the air. With another wave, it slowly set back down where it once rested.



Remus first looked surprised, then began to study Harry for a moment. "How long did you study and practice in order to be able to do wandless and non-verbal magic Harry"?



"I can answer that, he never did. He began about as soon as I removed the binding on his powers, and removed all those tracking charms from Dumbledore and the ministry. I watched him do it, and it was as though he had studied it all his life". Draco replied with respect.



"Thank you Draco, at least you don\'t hold anything important back. I like that, and Harry certainly does deserve it". Remus replied with a warm tone to both boys. "What types of books have you studied now Harry"?



"One thing I am is honest, and really when it comes to something important, I have told him the truth as I know it to be. Now Harry, please don’t get mad or take what I\'m about to say the wrong way, but it needs to be said before you start any training". When he received a nod from Harry, Draco began. "Well, you have a few flaws we need to work on. One is your temper, which can be deplorable at times. Another is your bigotry, which you have had instilled into you by a few when you came into the wizarding world. (At this, Harry\'s eyebrows shot to his head with a look of utter surprise). You have a penchant for jumping head first into things, way before you ought to. You don\'t think things through with a level head before you act on them. And lastly, you do things you don\'t wish to do in order to not make a certain few people mad at you". At this, Draco had to hold his hand up to stop Harry from speaking. "Harry, I probably know you better than Granger and Weasley combined, since I have studied you since I\'ve met you. You let pride and fear of loosing friendships blind you, and in doing so, you do things I know for a fact, that you wouldn\'t have done otherwise. I\'ve watched Weasley goad you into things, and you do it just so he don\'t throw a temper tantrum, and get mad at you. You let Granger feel your head with ideas that I know you don\'t really believe in, just because she read about them somewhere and thinks that everything that\'s written is fact. You do poorly in school to just keep from showing her up. I know this is all true Harry because I have watched you like a hawk from day one. Those are a lot of the reasons why I was always so hard on you if you want to know the truth. To be really honest, those are a lot of the reasons Severus really comes down on you, besides just your dad and mum.



"Its just hatred Draco, that\'s his problem with me. He sees my dad when he looks at me, and thinks I\'m just like him. Now, where did you get I was a bigot"? Harry asked as he set back down beside Draco.



"Harry, from day one, just as soon as you talked to Hagrid and Weasley, you thought all Slytherins were bad. You\'ve never had a good word to say towards anyone in the entire house. You never came close to attempting to make friends with any of us, especially me, even though I did with you. You turned me down because of the way I spoke, and what I said about Hagrid in Madam Malkin\'s that day. Now, I think you know what I said did have some truth to it. Crabbe and Goyle, the dimwits that they are, tried to take your candy that day, and not me if you remember. When I introduced myself, Weasley made fun of my name, laughing about it in fact. When I retaliated, which you should have expected, you never said one word against him, but me you did. You didn\'t even understand what brought that all about. And your supposed friend, nor his family, ever admitted the truth about what the feud was over. You told me that yourself did you not"?



Harry nodded his head and looked down at the table in front of him, seemingly finding it very interesting at the moment. "Yeah, I didn\'t know what to think about the feud. Did you know about that Remus"?



"About Draco\'s grandfather"? Remus asked, receiving a silent nod from Harry in return. "Yes, I did know about him getting his back broken. He died later on with Dragon Pox didn\'t he Draco"? Draco nodded at this. "Harry, what Draco has just said, I have seen in you myself. I was always afraid to tell you most of it, because I didn\'t want to alienate you. The most I would say was your more like your father than you know. I thought you knew more about James when I said it. Don\'t get me wrong, I was James and Sirius\'s friend, but I never got up to the antics they did. Dumbledore made me a prefect, I thought, to try to rein them in, but now I think it was more so they wouldn\'t get into any more trouble. I was always too afraid to say anything to them, much like you are with your friends. I couldn\'t stand to lose their friendship. After school, and because I am werewolf, I couldn\'t find any employment. Your father and mother Harry paid my way, that\'s how I had to live. I didn\'t want to accept charity, but I had no choice. I had no money in school either, and your dad always seen to it I had the necessary things I needed. The reason I feel beholding to Dumbledore is that he allowed me to come to school. However, as soon as I was finished, I was grabbed up into the Order where I could be useful. Nobody gets paid to be in the Order that I know of. The food is free, but I always wondered where the money came from. I always figured Dumbledore used his own, but now I know the truth. I know there are bribes made within the ministry, and I suppose Dumbledore handles them. He\'s not above this Harry, head of the Wizengamot or not".



"Well, I don\'t know what to say, am I really that bad"? Harry said as he looked at both of the people setting near him who never moved. "The more I think back, I was. You\'ve both got to understand though, before I came to this world I had no friends, nor anyone to turn to. I was alone, living with the Dursley\'s who despised me, well at least Vernon does. My aunt told me she did what she could for me under his nose. She had to play her role so we wouldn\'t both be kicked out. Dudley drove off every person who wanted to be my friend, and the rumors Vernon started made everyone stay clear of me. Well, he\'s certainly got something to say now since he hardly has a dick"! At this, Harry paused with a grin.



"What did you do to him Harry"? Remus inquired.



"I cast the gentalia shrinking hex on him before I left the other day". Harry said with a snicker, which Remus laughed at. "I mean, what can he say? Tell a doctor or another woman that a wizard shrunk his filthy cock? They\'ll just think he was born that way and trying to make an excuse for it". At this they all guffawed. "Look, I\'m sorry for the way I\'ve acted. I\'ll try my best to change, and control my temper. I fully intend to buckle down and study from now on. I also swear I\'ll not let others influence my decisions either".



"About the books you asked about earlier. Well, I\'ve studied the set you and Sirius got me last Christmas called \'Practical Defensive Magic and Its Use Against The Dark Arts\'. I only got to study them during the DA lessons we did. Some others I ordered was \'A Compendium of Common Curses and Their Counter-Actions\', \'The Dark Arts Outsmarted\', \'Self-Defensive Spellwork\', and \'Jinxes For The Jinxed\'. Those showed up in the Room of Requirement when we asked for it to open. I took two old books from the family vault titled, \'Blood Magic, Light and Dark\', and \'Wandless Magic, A Complete Treatise\' by Phineas Black, Sirius\'s great-great grandfather. The first is about blood wards, and the last of course, I have the authors painting back at headquarters, and a ready-made teacher. One last book I wanted to buy is called \'Curses and Counter-Curses\' by Vindictus Viridian. When I looked through it quickly at Flourish and Blotts, it looked very useful. It had the jelly legs and tongue-tying jinxes listed if I remember. I have also been reading a hand-written book that Snape made for Draco. There are actually some good jinxes, hexes, and curses in it. The last ones I want to find are some healers books".



"Why healers books Harry"? Draco asked. "I can see maybe healing yourself after a battle or someone with you".



"Ah, but you can use some of them as hexes and curses like bone breaking and cutting spells. Remember, the intent you taught me, well this is where that comes into play. Those spells are legal even though some could be considered dark magic. I could break every bone in a death eater and not get into any trouble". Harry explained, and Draco nodded with a sudden understanding. "I could also heal us after or during a battle too".



"You think more and more like a Slytherin every day. No wonder the hat wanted you in our house". Draco said proudly.



"The hat did what"? Remus asked.



"Oh yea, I never told anyone about this except Draco. The sorting hat wanted to first place me in Slytherin, but I talked it out of it. Nobody knows you can argue with it, but I did and got into Gryffindor. Of course Draco helped with that". Harry said with a grin and got a pillowed thrown at his head.



Remus gave a howl of laughter at this. "If anyone could have done that, it would have been you. So your saying you would have been in Slytherin? That\'s why you can talk your way out of a lot of trouble. The hat was right; you do have it in you, plus your Salazar’s descendent along with Godrics. That reminds me, I need to go to Godrics Hollow. I haven\'t been yet this year to take flowers. Do you want to go with me Harry? I know you probably don\'t like to go there..."



Harry looked back down at this. "I\'ve never been". He whispered.



"You\'ve what! I thought Dumbledore said he had taken you every year"? Shouted Remus.



"Nobody has Remus, you\'re the first to offer". Harry replied with a choked sound.



Draco again wrapped his arms around Harry. "Harry, we\'ll go anytime you want to. I don\'t know the way, but if I can find out, I\'ll take you if Remus can\'t. Would you feel up to it tomorrow Remus, the full moon isn\'t out for another few days"?



"Yes, I think I can make the trip. I\'ll have to apparate you one at a time though". Remus said. "We\'ll go after breakfast".



"If you feel up to it, that would be great"! Harry said as he started to cheer up. This had been something he had wanted to do ever since he was a first year.



"Well, we need to set the wards. I don\'t think we have time for the fidelius charm this evening. I\'m not sure whom you want for a secret keeper. I can add some wards that will stop someone cold in their tracks on top of what\'s already here". Draco reminded and stood to go outside to cast the spells. "Are you coming with me Harry"?



Harry got up to follow. "Yeah, hey Remus, we\'ll be right back unless you want to go"?



No boys, I\'m going to lay down for a bit. I had just taken my wolfsbane when you arrived. I\'m going to take a sleeping draught now, so I probably won\'t see you until the morning. The elves came and put food in the pantry, plus cleaned everything. I was outside when they came, so I didn\'t disturb them. I wanted to wait and see who would show up". Remus finished with a smirk.



Ok then, we\'ll see you in the morning". Harry said as he followed Draco out the door.



Harry, we\'ll add wards to the perimeter wall first, and at the gates. We\'ll need to walk the full circumference placing them. Them we\'ll do the house. You can probably do that with one spell as powerful as you are. I would have to cast it on each wall. Just listen the spells, and you can do them too as you only have to flick the wand tip with each". Draco then walked up to the front gate and cast the first ward. "Protego Horribilis" Draco shouted with a flick of his wand and the gate glowed red momentarily. "That\'s a bad one, it causes great pain to anyone that tries to breach it. We\'ll put it around the whole wall". Draco cast several others, and they made their way around the wall.



"Ok, Draco, what\'s next, the house"? Harry enquired.



"Yes, we\'ll do it next. Protego Maximus would be the one to add there along with the others I cast, Subsisto Humanus Tractus (1), Servo Erus Maximus (2), and Transobduco Damnum (3). It already has the standard wards and muggle repelling spells on it".



At this, Harry walked to the front of the lodge and raised his right hand, palm facing the front. He incanted the last three spells, and each covered the entire house at once, causing it to glow momentarily. When done, he turned to Draco with a huge grin on his face.



Draco shook his head at this; it was unbelievable to watch Harry do that without a wand. "Harry, you\'ll have to walk me through the door the first time so the wards will accept me. You\'ll need to hold my hand as we walk through. I shouldn\'t have any problems after that. Lupin will have been accepted because he was inside when you cast them. He also has a key which makes all of them accept him as a partial owner".



"Great, come on, grab my hand. I\'m going to look into some blood wards for tomorrow, one that will take your and my blood as a dual ownership. I know they have some that detect the blood status and will open all wards and locks without a key. In a way, I\'d like to see a death eater appear just to watch what happens when they hit the wards\'. Harry stated.



"Hey, what is that spell you learned to choke someone? You do it silently, and I would like to learn it. It could come in handy disarming an opponent". Draco enquired.



"Oh, well the spell is Substrictus Cervix (4). It narrows or restricts the neck-throat, choking off their air". Harry explained. "It can come in handy, I do know that. I don\'t have to think of the name anymore, I guess subconsciously I do, but I don\'t really hear it in my head anymore. Another one that will make them drop is Premo Testis (5). They\'re too busy holding their bollocks to do anything. If you really want to get nasty, you can use Frendo Testis (6) or Farrago Testis (7), though they\'ll not be having anymore of their offspring running around". At this, Harry grimaced as he led Draco through the door. "If they can\'t see, do anything because of great pain, breathe, talk, stand, or use their wand, you have the upper hand".



"Oh I totally agree, but if you cast one of those in front of your friends, or Dumbledore, they\'ll lay into you. I can see that happening as soon as you use them. They\'re going to end up getting themselves killed over it if they don\'t watch". Commented Draco. "I\'ve heard that Dumbledore uses transfiguration a lot when he duels, and charms to cause inanimate objects to come to life and work for him. That is one way to do it I suppose, but some of those spells takes some thinking to pull off".



"Yeah, he used some of those when he dueled Voldermort at the Ministry. He made all the statues in the fountain spring to life. A couple of them blocked curses for he and I. Fawkes, his phoenix, even ate a killing curse, burst into flames, and turned back into a chick. He used some spell that caused Voldermort to conjure some big silver shield with a snake on it. When the spell hit it, it rang like a giant gong. He also tried to drown Voldermort using the water in the fountain. The water leapt out of the pool and encircled Voldermort like a big cocoon, but he disapparated out of it. That\'s another thing they both used, apparation". Harry reminisced.



"That one spell that made the gong sound when it hit the shield. I think that was a bone-exploding curse. It vibrates the bones at their resonance and causes them to shatter. If it hit something metallic, it would cause it to sound like a huge bell being struck. I wouldn\'t want to be holding the shield though, it would rattle your teeth loose". Draco led on, guessing at the spells they used.



"Dumbledore told him that he wasn\'t going to kill him; that there were much greater and worse things than death. Of course Voldermort can\'t seem to grasp that, something like the Dementors kiss. He keeps holding on to the belief that dying is the worst thing that could ever happen to him. In turn, he seeks out ways of becoming immortal. He did something as he came back again after he tried to kill me the first time. I think Dumbledore knows what he\'s done and hasn\'t said".



"We\'ll find out Harry, if he wants this war to end. If not, we\'ll figure it out on our own. There are a few ways that can be done and it\'s the darkest of magic”. Draco said as he noticed a large, worn leather trunk open on the main sitting room. "What\'s that Harry"?



"It\'s Remus\'s book trunk, or the one that holds his books on defense against the dark arts. It\'s the one he used at Hogwarts to teach from. I guess he got it out for us while we were putting up the wards. There\'s no way I\'ll be able to learn all that in just a little over two months". Harry explained. "I need to go back to the family vault and have a good look at those books too".



We\'ll have time, but right now there\'s other important things on my mind like checking out the master suite. You know our elves did all that work, we might as well check it out". Draco replied with a lecherous grin. "Come on, lets see if they left any dust in the springs".



Harry looked at Draco for a few seconds, took his hand and sprinted for the stairs. When they got to the upper hall, he wasn\'t for sure which room it was. As they made their way down it, they went to the room at the end and opened the door. This was it; it was a huge room. The bed was a large four-poster with black forest carvings in all the wood. The sheets had been changed to new golden silk, probably Nods doing, Harry thought. There was a brown, down filled duvet over that. The bed was stacked with pillows against the headboard.



"Woo-hoo"! Harry shouted as he took a run and go, leaping on the bed with a huge bounce. "Come here my sexy little Slytherin. I plan on doing several debaucheries here this evening. As you are the debauchee and me the debaucher, well can you guess what is going to happen"?



Draco had to take a huge gulp at the way his Harry was acting. He knew he was going to be royally fucked, and in the most literal sense of the word at that. He had created a bona fide sex monster, he thought. Then he grinned, two could play at this game. So Draco did, he also took a huge running leap thus landing on top of Harry, ending with their limbs entangled, already in a hot passionate embrace. Hot kisses with entwining tongues started off the ordeal. Next came the virtual ripping off of clothes. The sex that ensued was nothing but animalistic. Each pounding into the other with fierceness, sweat rolling off each of their bodies. There were great exclamations of "Oh God", "Fuck me", and "Dear Merlin" during their bouts. When their orgasms came, it was with great cries of ecstasy. As they lay there, still tangled together while trying to catch their breath, Draco looked at Harry with nothing but love in his eyes.



"Harry love, did you cast a silencing charm"? Draco enquired between panting breaths.



"Er......, No"? Harry said as they both broke into fits of laughter while thinking about what all Remus had heard.

Thanks for all the reviews. I worked what I could after I got back, the last and this chapter is the result. I may not be able to update as much as I was, but it will be more than once a week, or I hope.
