Looking Through Your Eyes
By Angelwings Sorrow

Chapter 13 “ Music from the soul Truth from the Heart”

“Harry I…” Lily was at a lost for words this was her son grown and she missed his whole life. Harry on the other hand was not taking this as a great discovery. He wings flared knocking Draco into a near by chair.

“How long?” Harry growled as he turned on the potion’s master.

“How long what Potter?”

“HOW LONGER WERE YOU GOING TO KEEP THIS FROM ME! HOW LONG WERE YOU GOING TO HIDE MY MOTHER’S PAINTING FROM ME?”

“Harry calm down. Things aren’t that easy to explain.” Pleaded his mother moving into the painting closes to him.”

“Why should I listen to you? You weren’t there when I needed you and you are just a picture you have no say in my life! Why should I listen to any of you? My whole life I’ve heard nothing but lies and half-truths! Well no more! From now on I can only trust my mate and myself. ” Harry turned on his heel and stormed out of the room.

“Well that could have gone better.” Draco sat up and shook his head in sorrow. “You know what Uncle Sev Harry said you were the only one we could trust.” He then got up to face his godfather. “He came here because he trusted you not to lie to him and to help us protect our twins. I just hope you realize how much you royally screwed up.” Then turned to the painting with a sad smile. “Mrs. Potter I’m sorry he yelled at you, but he’s hurt and he tends to yell when he’s scared. He didn’t mean to hurt you.”

“Thank you Draco. I guess I expecting to be greeted with open arms.” She sniffed and gave him a watery smile. “I am happy to know he has you to help him through this. Even though your bodies are switch I could tell he was my son and that he cares for his mate.”

Draco blushed and mumble thank you before hurrying after his mate.

“What do we do now he won’t trust either of us now.”

“Have faith Lilly once he’s calm down and gotten over the hurt he’ll be back. After all he is your son.”

Draco wandered the halls looking for the runaway veela. It had been 2 hours since he left the potion mater’s office and Draco was worried. When he felt he should give up he heard such a sorrowful melody. He followed the strings of the piano to the seventh floor and into a room he had never saw before. Once inside he received the shock of his life. There was a grand piano in the middle of the room and candles floated around the room as Harry poured his heart into the keys of the instrument.

Draco patiently watched and listened not wanting to disturb the beauty of his mate. The babies that grew inside him seem to know their mum was playing as they flutter about in his stomach. Once the song was over Harry’s shoulder sagged in defeat.

“I didn’t know you played the piano.” The veela’s head shot up in surprise the relaxed to know it was his mate.

“No one knows. It was the one thing that kept me sane growing up. When I first came here I thought about telling Ron and Hermione, but I just wanted to keep this to myself.”

“You play beautifully love. Where did you learn to play?” Draco moved behind Harry and wrapped his arms around shoulder of the taller boy carefully, as not to crush his wings, and he rested his chin on the soft blonde hair.

“My Grandmother Evans was a famous Concert Pianist. My mum and aunt were taught to play but neither played as well. I used to watch from my cupboard as my aunt tried to teach my cousin how to play.” The small chuckle escaped his lips as he recalled one of the few happy memories. “ It was her hope to have Dudley become to next famous one in the family. Dudley on the other hand had other plans. Once left alone to practice he would let me out and set me at the piano and order me to practice so he could go out to play. I would practice for two hours everyday and I got better and better. Aunt Petunia thought it was Dudley and he was going to be the next star. So once I got to be really good she set up a recital for him to play for her neighborhood tea club and Aunt Marge. When show day came I was hidden in my cupboard and I watched as my baby whale of a cousin squeezed in a suit sat down and made a complete fool of himself, because he never once practiced or learn how to play. Unfortunately my uncle saw it differently. He said I used my freaky ways to steal Dudley’s talent…” A silence hung in the air and Draco understood he knew exactly what his uncle had done to him that night. “Any ways when I was at Muggle School I would hide in the music room to practice and hide from Dudley. As time went on I got better; the music teacher was very kind she helped me learn to do more complex music. I just kept playing after I came here.”

“Harry you a beautiful person.”

“Enough about me what about you? Do you play?”

“No I don’t. Malfoys are to be entertained not to be the entertainment. Beside you play well enough for both of us.”

“Yes Malfoys are to sit around, look pretty and make snide remarks about everyone that is beneath them.”

“True but I’m more my mother’s son than father. I am part veela and I not only look pretty but I have a charming personality as well as the Black sense of humor for pranks.”

“Dray do you think my mother hates me?”

“Why would you think that?”

“If she’s been with Snape this whole time then she knows what happen to Sirius and it’s my fault. Then I yelled at her and Snape.”

“Oh Harry you’re too hard on yourself. Your mother doesn’t hate you. I won’t deny she looked hurt when you left, but she understands. She will not blame you for something that is not your fault. As for Severus, well, I know he deserved it but he has his reasons and that we should listen to him before we go our own way.”

“You’re right love, I know you are, but I want to wait awhile before I face them again.” Harry turned around and wrapped his arms around the slim boy behind him and held on tight.

“Alright we’ll go when you’re ready.” Draco smiled as he kissed the top of his former self’s head.

*~*~*~*~

“Well Harry’s training is going to plan, but I’m afraid the child will have to be taken it will not do his image very good.”

“Albus I don’t think that will a good idea Harry will fight you.”

“He is a young boy and he doesn’t know what is best for him.”

“He doesn’t but you do? I’m sorry but I don’t agree! I refuse to let you interfere with him or his child.”

“ But you don’t have legal say Remus. James and Lilly never left a will there was nothing left after the attack.”

“I have supported you through this war and what is right for the wizarding world, but this is where I draw the line. This child, Harry’s child, will not be a pawn in you war nor will it be taken from him, and I swear I will fight you on this; as will the rest of the Order and the Veela.” The Werewolf left the threat hanging the air for a moment before storming out of the office. “The Meddling bastard, he will not get the child or Harry and I know just who will help me. I hope.”

*~*~*~*~

Snape was sitting in his favorite chair in front of the fire when a pounding knock broke him from his thoughts. “Who is it?”

“Severus it’s me.”

“Go away Lupin it’s not time for your potion so leave.” He just then the werewolf strolled in and Snape rolled his eyes in frustration.

“Severus this has nothing to do with the potion it has to do with Harry and his baby.”

“And why should I care about Potter and his Brat.” The potion master kept on his mask of indifference as his mind whirled with this information.

“Can’t you put your hostility for James aside and think about Harry and his child? Dumbledore wants to take it away from Harry!” Remus was desperate pleading with his former schoolmate.

“What do you care about the child? You think they’re just an inconvenience especially a Syltherin’s Bastard!” Snape couldn’t stand it any longer he got up and stalked away from Lupin.

“Severus! What are you talking about? I never said anything like that and you know it!”

“Do I? Why did Black say you did when I came looking for you and our child?” Rage of 20 years was finally unlashed against his former lover and he didn’t plan on backing down now.

“Severus I never said that! I didn’t even know you came for us when I was force to leave school. You have to believe me Sirius lied to you. I loved you and I wanted our child.”

“Is that why you abort our child? If you loved me and wanted the baby why did you get rid of it as if it were garbage that was disgusting and unwanted?”

“I… was forced to.” The pain was too much. The memory of giving up his unborn child broke is heart again and again he could no longer hold back the tears.

“I’m supposed to believe you and just say all was forgiven. Forget it Lupin you will not fool me again with your lies.” Severus was shaking. His heart desperately wanted to believe him, but he was scared to be hurt again.

“I’ll take the potion.”

“What?”

“The Veritaserum potion. I said I would take it. I know you always have some on hand.” Severus was speechless. He would finally get answers to his 20 years of heartache, but what would happen afterwards? Would he be left alone or will he be able to reclaim his lover that was denied to him so long ago? These questions ran through his mind, but it seemed his heart took charge whenever it came to Remus.

“Very well I accept your offer wait here I will get the potion.” And with a swirl of his robes he stalked to his private potion’s lab.

~*~*~*~*~

Crabbe and Goyle were not as dumb as the appeared to be. They were just naive about the world around them. They notice that Draco had taken to hanging with Gryffindors so they assumed that it was ok to be with other houses. At dinner Crabbe went up to Luna and got down on one knee and asked for date. This wouldn’t have drawn so much attention if it weren’t in the middle of the great hall. The two had secretly started dating last year. Luna was asked to tutor Crabbe in charms, transfigurations, and potions. And during that time he fell for her unique quite ways.

“Vincent I would be happy to accept.” And a huge grin spread across his face as he pulled the tiny Ravenclaw in to his arms for a hug.

Goyle on the other hand had sat next to Ron at the Gryffindor table and asked him about wizard’s chess and how could he improve his game. Ron was shell shocked as were the rest of his housemates.

“Greg is quite a talented player he is reining champ of Slytherin.” Harry was the first to break the silence. Draco had told Harry all the comings and goings and secrets of the Slytherin house. The veela gave Ron a challenging look from his seat across from the redhead; he knew which buttons to push him into opening up.

“Is that so? Well then after lunch I Challenge you to a game we’ll see how the Slytherin Champ can stand against The Gryffindor Champion of Chess.” The two boys smiled as the tucked in to their food.

“Things are changing aren’t they?” Draco whispered to Harry as he leaned in to his arms.

“Yes they are, but it will be for the better. If they change maybe others will and we can prevent more death.”

“I understand, but their Families will not. Love they are my friends I don’t want to lose them or die, because their fathers force them to take the mark.”

“I know Dray we’ll find a way to keep this war from spreading. I Promise once we’re back to normal we’ll start working on a plan.” Harry held his mate close and Draco knew everything would be all right.

*~*~*~*~*~

“Here is the potion. Put three drops on your tongue.” Severus shoved the potion at Remus in effort to hide his shaking hands. Remus took the offered potion and obediently took the required three drops. In no time his eyes glazed over in a trance like state.

“What is your full name?”

“Remus Alexander Lupin”

“What house were you sorted into?”

“Gryffindor.”

“Why did you leave school half way through seventh year?”

“Malfoy found out I was a werewolf and the Ministry took me from school.”

“How did Lucius find out?”

“Sirius and I were heading to the shirking shack and when Malfoy hit us with a stunning curse. He dragged us to the quidditch shed planning to hand us to Sirius’ father, Lord Black. When the sun had set I transformed into my monstrous form. He escaped the shed and Sirius herded me back to the shirking shack.”

“What happen to our child?” Severus could barely get his voice to work. Lucius knew and he didn’t tell him. After Remus had left he look everywhere for him. He finally lowered his pride and asked Black where Remus was. It was after Black had told him Remus wanted nothing to do with him and aborted the baby. With his heart broken and his soul shattered he easily fell into Lucius’ hands and took the dark mark.

“When I was at the ministry the healers checked me over and found the glamours that hid the baby growing inside me. Fudge ordered for the baby to be terminated and I was to be made sterile. Werewolves are not considered human and are not allow offspring.” Severus couldn’t stop the tears of pain and regret. All the years waste. Even if they could no longer have children at least they would have been together.

“Do you still love me?” He knew he was risking it all, but he had to know. This was his chance to reclaim the love that was denied to him all those years ago.

“Yes. I never stopped.” A sob escaped the potion master’s lips as he gave the antidote to his love.

“I never stopped loving you either.” Remus pulled Severus in to his arms and held on tight not wanting to lose his mate again. They stood there in each other’s arms with tears of joy and the feeling of finally being whole filled their hearts.
