Familiar

A/N…Sorry guys wanted to get this up sooner, but cable on my laptops fucked, so your lucky ure getting an update at all. Informative chappy ahead, n u’ll find out some of harrys creature blood.


Thanks to everyone who reviewed…(important replies will be in bold from now on)

Simply Me…Know where you are coming from, but in the books both schools are multi-sex, its only in the film that they’re either all boy or all girl and I try to stick with the books as much as possible. (Pavarti was asked to join a beauxbatons boy at the yule ball).

LynnGryphon…I don’t like clichés either, I try to avoid them as much as possible. I think I mentioned before that I’ve seen a black panther too many times myself, I think it suits the harry in their fics but not the one in mine.


To everyone else who reviewed thank you so much, I would reply to more of you but I’m stealing a few moments to get this to you all, I’m using a crappy old comp that crashes a lot. So…hopefully will have a new chapter at weekend…depends if comp l let me post it.

Chapter 18: Midnight Thoughts

It had been hard keeping his secrets from Ron and the others but thankfully Ron had understood that some things were best left unsaid. His little red head was all grown up. It was strange how good a friend Ron suddenly seemed. Something there seemed to nag at his mind.

But he had other things to think about right now.

He didn’t want to admit it but what the sorting hat had said had scared him. It wasn’t an appealing thought that he could die in some other way than the way he had envisioned for so long, at the end of Voldemorts wand.

If Voldemort didn’t kill him then apparently this link to the past would. It was almost like…he wasn’t meant to be happy, not for long at least. And then there was Draco, he couldn’t think of him as Malfoy anymore. That had all ended on the train earlier today.

He’d seen the Draco he’d wanted to see.

Never before had he thought the blonde to be so alluring, annoying yes, but beautiful, desirable, captivating, never. His eyes had never strayed from Draco’s face the whole time and he remembered well how he couldn’t seemed to speak, it was as if he wasn’t able to, for to speak would ruin the moment.

He’d seen something in Draco that day and it had called out to him. His touch, his breath it had all sent a shiver down his spine. He had liked it, he wasn’t afraid to admit that. That was probably his Gryffindor bravery kicking in and he’d need all of it if he was about to tell Ron he liked Draco Malfoy, the amazing bouncing ferret. He smiled, Draco had been a very pretty ferret.

Right, so Draco was pretty now. He’d established that when his breath had hitched on the train.

Malfoy was long gone now.

An hour ago he was actually considering asking Draco out (Gryffindor bravery again). But now he didn’t know what to do.

And Draco didn’t even know what it was the hat had said. Draco deserved to know.

His thoughts were jumbled, everything in his head that day had gone back to Draco.

Draco, he almost whispered the name. He wanted to, so he did. It almost seemed to roll off his tongue, it sounded perfect to his ears. Gods he was getting sappy, but he wanted to speak that name again and again.

What he felt for Draco, differed completely for what he had ever felt for Malfoy. There was a sense of rightness about Draco, like he was the one he’d been looking for. It was almost like a craving, he wanted Draco, badly. The thought of the blonde was just too arousing. He knew that if thoughts of Draco could do this to him, then seeing him…seeing him and not being able to touch…to kiss, would be just unbearable. He wanted, he wanted Draco Malfoy and he’d be damned if some ancient curse or whatever it was dictated his life. He’d had enough of that. Enough of being the one destined to kill the dark lord, enough of Dumbledore’s golden boy and he’d had enough of people and things telling him when to die.

This was something he’d decide for himself and he had, he wanted Draco and he would have him whether he died or not. His Mum and Dad had had each other for only a short time, but they’d been happy and if he could talk to them now, he knew neither of them would regret their love. But this brought him back to the problem of Draco, telling Draco. He couldn’t just go up to him and start a relationship without the blonde knowing about this and he certainly couldn’t keep his creature blood in the dark, he’d have to ask Krai later tonight, this was something he felt he needed to know now. Something he had to tell Draco.

And then there was the relationship itself, would it work out between them. Oh how he hoped it would…wait…did he really want that. It really did, he really did feel like he wanted him forever. How could feelings have changed that much that fast. Well one thing was certain Draco would never feel that way about him. Nothing ever went easy for him did it? The first time he fell in love, feel so hard it hurt…it was with Draco Malfoy his enemy of six years.

And technically yes, they were still enemies, random moments in bathrooms aside. Maybe Draco had just been teasing…had he actually done anything that indicated he wanted a relationship with Harry. No. Maybe…he really didn’t know.

And there was only one way to find out…to ask him. Maybe be laughed at, by the whole school, by Draco…now that thought hurt, Draco laughing at him. Draco had laughed at him for the past six years and it hadn’t hurt, why did it hurt so much now. Could he really love the blonde boy…the one who had made his life a living hell. He could…he really could.

But that was it wasn’t it? Everything depended on Draco, if Draco didn’t want him, they couldn’t have children and…maybe they couldn’t die. If Draco was stronger than he was…then maybe it wouldn’t happen. But that didn’t work for him, he wanted a relationship with Draco, he’d satisfy for being friends if that was all the boy was willing to give him.

And again that was another problem entirely, how to be friends with Draco? And would Draco want to be? That was something he’d have to figure out tomorrow when he saw the blonde again. His reaction would tell him if being friends would work and if more were possible.

For now, he would try to be friends with Draco, nothing more.

With that he dropped the holding spell on the curtains and allowed his familiar inside. It was time to get a few answers.

The moment Krai slithered through the gap, Harry waved his hand and closed it again. Krai inwardly smiled at his Masters show of talent. Pleased that Harry had harnessed the power available to him and had picked up so easily on the wandless magic Krai had taught him. It was easy really, being a snake he couldn’t hold a wand nor could he gesture, he controlled Harry’s magic with his mind. And since Harry had some very snake-like qualities, he could do it also. His young snake lord at the moment was more comfortable gesturing with his hand but with practice he wouldn’t need it.

Krai knew what his Master was thinking, he could see it clearly in Harrys mind now that the barrier between them was gone. And he agreed, it was time for Harry to learn of his bloods, because it was time for Harry to learn he had a mate…

‘I want to know Krai, I think its time now, that you told me what I am…or at least will be when its manifested fully?’ Harry’s voice was low, but it had an authoritative tone that had been lacking before. Krai was in no doubt that this was an order veiled as a request. He smiled, Harry was so much better than he had been. Krai paused a moment before he began.

What you are is something special, something that has never before been seen in a walker. And yet you are more than that. You know that Salazar’s blood runs through you, Salazar is more than just a founder of this school. He carries an ancient bloodline that comes from as far back as Merlin himself. Merlin’s mother mated with a rare creature, their combined blood gave birth to his power, his magical strength. But the characteristics of the creature never manifested in him and has not done so it any of his descendents but it will in you. I will discuss this one again after we get the minor bloods out of the way…

That’s why the hat told me about Merlin isn’t it?

Yes, but you have more than that bloodline. Though Gryffindors bloods are more mundane than Slytherins they are still fairly impressive by anyones standards. Now Godric, he was a hybrid, Godric’s second blood was more diluted…not worth mentioning unless it actually manifests. Salazar’s was also a hybrid, he was part dark elf, your appearance now comes from that. But there is more than that, the slant to your eyes that is beginning to appear, that is from Godric’s first blood. This blood is demonic, though not of the common kind…Godric was a cat demon, he could change at will from human form to that of a humanoid cat. You will not be able to do this as that blood has been heavily diluted as well over the years. It is the elf that is the strongest of the minor three and it is that blood that has merged with your rarest blood to form the person you are now and have always been. The other two can mainly be ignored but it is likely they will have some minor effect on you towards the end of your eighteenth year.

Now the blood from Salazar that I mentioned is from an ancient creature that survives now only in Graeco-Roman myth. Scholars would find its name and mistake it for that of a dragon. But it isn’t a dragon, a different species entirely. The forefather of snakes as a matter of fact. The King of serpents…

I thought…

You thought a basilisk was the King of Serpents, most modern books have it so. No the basilisk is more like a cousin to the monarch. Of the same ilk but not the true ruler. This creature is snake-like in appearance and is winged as is a dragon, but whereas a dragon has little more power than being able to breathe ice or fire, this creature’s power was said to be immeasurable. The combination of both the dark elf blood and this one is one of the reasons that has led to you developing such a strong feeling for the Malfoy boy. I think it is very wise the course you have decided to adopt with him but if there is any doubt in your mind, if you are unsure that you are meant to be together…then I believe the name of the creature will help you…

What is it?

Draco
What?

The creatures name is Draco…




And that’s why Krai was surprised when he heard Draco’s name…

So that’s it for another chapter, what ya think? Do you like Harry’s bloods, I wanted a combination of power and I wanted a snake but I didn’t want something as obvious as a basilisk, so I thought why not a flying snake that’s quite obscure (in the book ive got probly not in others but), so I can take it in my own direction. There is one blood I’ve left hidden for now, cos it isn’t important til later.


The entry in my encycoledia reads… Draco is the version of the dragon found in Graeco-Roman myth…early classical writings suggest a kind of winged serpent rather than the more traditional shape of the dragon. It had the ability to dazzle its victims with a bright light which shone everywhere from the length of its body.

As I said info is obscure so any knowledge people could give me will be appreciated, but it means that I can take liberties, I wanted something where I set the limits.



As always if you’ve read, review too!!!


RECOMMEDATION


Todays is a story I love, its from this site so if you’ve read it I apologise.

Muggle Mondays

http://hp.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=544208377

This isn’t a dark fic, its HP/DM, SS/RL, HG/PP…Its after the war and its time for a bet, slytherins vs gryffindors at a game of trivial pursuit. The bet, if the gryffindors win…the slytherins have to go on muggle outings (priceless moment in a gay bar) and if the slyths win, the gryffs hav to wear collars and leashes with robes saying “slytherins do it best” (I think) around diagon alley.

This fic is priceless. And its complete!!!!

If anyone has any recommendations for me, then let me know. I'm always on the lookout for good fics to read.
