Familiar

Hey guys I’m glad you liked the last chapter. As I said that was something I hadn’t planned on. This is another purely Krai chapter.

To all my reviewers, thank you so much. I can’t believe the response to this story, I passed the hundred mark with chapter 13 and am now at 183, cant believe it thankyou.

As before please read the first review…


Celticslash…hey it is entirely possible that that will happen. As for killing Harrys parents, not every generation is forced together. If whatever it was forced the descendents together every generation then James would have married either Lucius, or one of the blacks. (The slytherin blood could be from either, I haven’t told you which yet).


Mari-Chan…thanks can you tel me what site its on I might check it out. And just for you is an entirely Krai chapter.
LadyLynn…Im sorry but I cant promise that, but I will say that the problem will be resolved, either way! And sorry but you’ll have to wait to find out.
KateL…I have a very bad Dumbledore thing coming up, but it’l be a while yet.
Thrnbrooke…thankyou it was my intention to make everyone think he was gonna be resorted. But I stand by the reasons the hat gave, he’d never gain the slytherins trust if he became one of them at this stage.


Thankyou to everyone again, now onto the chapter…




Chapter 17: Intermission No2


That damned hat.

Things had been progressing nicely enough. The open hostility between both boys had lessened. Admittedly he hadn’t had to do much in changing his Master’s perceptions. When his Master had witnessed the boy’s unusual behaviour it had triggered a train of reasoning that led his Master to his current feelings. Harry had understood then that the Malfoy boy was a lot like himself. Alone, manipulated, with a reputation to live up to, the only thing that was different were the consequences of acting or not acting. He had realised that Malfoy was as trapped as he was, in a world that cared if you failed in those expectations but couldn’t care less what happened to you as long as you did what they expected.

He wouldn’t let that happen to either of them. Harry would fulfil those expectations because it was the right thing to do, but he wouldn’t do it alone, he would have a mate and both of them would be safe and prepared for the moment when the light turned on them. For turn it would, walkers always fear what they can’t understand and can’t control.

He’d had to work more on the Malfoy boy, but luckily the boy had already begun to move away from his family. He had just reinforced this, but he’d had to chip away at all those pureblood ideals and doctrines that had made up the boys life. He hadn’t done enough to fully remove those prejudices but he had been confident that Harry could continue where he left off.

He’d been fairly confident in all the measures he had taken and had been happy that the matter of his Master’s mate would be solved upon their return to the Castle. But that damnable sorting hat had surprised him, he’d been unable to insinuate himself in their conversation. The hat had been designed to keep the contact private between the two, but luckily Krai had been able to hear everything that the hat thought. And things that his Master hadn’t picked up on, due to the emotionless monotone drone of the hats thought voice. But he’d picked up on everything the hat left unsaid and the hats fear.

And that alone told him how serious his words were. The sorting hats fear had been quite palpable to his tongue, especially for a being with no physical body to scent. Krai would have known if the hat lied.

The snake had been prepared for many things this year, the manifestation of his Masters bloods, his mate and the threat of the dark snake lord. He had known that his Master had both Slytherin and Gryffindor blood in his veins, after all that was where his Master’s creature blood came from. His Master’s ancestors were an important part of Krai’s knowledge, as one of his main duties was to help his Master to adjust. His Master was rare.

He was hybrid. A combination of different bloods, that resulted in something totally unique in the magical world. In the muggle world entire species of hybrids were created, in fact a lot of the animals alive were hybrids. But in the magical world a hybrid was a rare event, something that appeared only once and when it was gone it was gone. Salazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor had both been hybrids themselves and had passed on their creature blood to their children. Though admittedly, that blood was stronger in Harry than in the Malfoy boy. Both boys had a different combination of the bloods, Draco was in fact much weaker than Harry.

He would be surprised if the Malfoy boy received little more than a substantial power boost. Whereas his Master would receive a lot more. Draco may develop one or more small physical changes but little more than that. The higher concentration of blood was in his Master.

These traits had been passed down from the founders to their current generation of descendants and it had made Krai wonder what else had been passed down within it. Now he knew. It was a strange thing, this continual repetition of the past. He gone through the possibilities in his mind, the likeliest was a time slip, he knew that, it was why that was the problem, he just didn’t know why. If he knew why, he could stop it.

He knew that his Master would be thinking over what he heard till the early hours of the morning. He also knew that right now his Master really wanted to be alone. He had put up silencing charms around his bed and had placed a locking charm on the curtains. He respected his Master’s wishes and waited for him to sort through his thoughts. It was good that his Master wanted to be alone with his thoughts, he wouldn’t be with his Master forever and Harry needed to learn how to make his own decisions.

No one else in his young Master’s life had allowed him to make his own decisions and because of that he had no confidence. By increasing his Master’s confidence he was making it possible for his Master to live. And to do it in his own way. Krai wouldn’t be around forever but he would be here for as long as his young snake lord needed him.

He wondered what decision his Master would come to. Would he still acknowledge his attraction to the blonde. Would he even realise they were mates or would he push him away. Would the bond head back down the volatile path now, would they end up hating each other again. And when his Master defeated the dark snake lord would the bond then drive two intended souls to kill each other.



Hey guys know it was short, but there’s only so much a snake can say without giving the plot away.

You’ve still got time to submit your ideas, although I think I’ve decided what I’m doing, my mind can still be changed.


RECOMMENDATION

This chapters recommendation is a fic I just finished reading this morning.

This fic states perfectly that…….Not Everything Is Easy…


Merlin’s Power

By Slytherin Prefect

http://www.thesilversnitch.net/fic/viewstory.php?sid=7011&warning=Guilty%20-%20R

Serious abuse, dark, rape, torture. Love, H/D, Severus as a protector, lot of betrayal and a complex and satisfying conclusion, my only recommendation is that you must read the epilogue. The last chapter may make you not want to continue, but believe me read the epilogue.
