Rating: NC-17

Summary: If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there. Lewis Carroll.



I am not pretty good with summaries, that is why I choose that quote. Something to add, Harry is in seventh year so, technically he is a legal adult in the wizarding world, just so you know.There is going to be a lot of Out of Character, many relationships Harry had had since his third year. Many would be slash and others would be Het. Also ignore HBP and DH.

Draco/Harry Implied

Dark Deeds, White Masks





Severus was sitting in front of the Headmaster a thoughtful expression in his face. Dumbledore was reclining against his chair, hands intertwined against his chest and that damn twinkle in his eyes. The Headmaster was watching carefully one of his most powerful weapons in the war, and saw in him the same scare man of more than seventeen years ago the went to him looking for protection.



“There is something bothering you” it was a statement and not a question, Dumbledore looked directly in the eyed at Severus who had the wards of Occlumency up and at full strength around him. Dumbledore sighed and broke the eye contact.” It is something you wish to tell me Severus?”



“No.” was Snape’s simple answer,” I just came here because of the last reunion with the Dark Lord.”



“Go on.”



“He is determinate to …put you out of the picture in this war.” Started Severus, Dumbledore heard with interests this new piece of information,” he already has a plan that involves some students, some of his loyal Death Eaters and me.”



“Do you know what this plan is exactly?”



“No, apparently when the time is right he is going to do it.” Ended the Potion Master.

Dumbledore sighed and raised a hand to his temple caressing the spot slightly. He was getting really older for all those games and plots against him. He looked up to see that Severus, once again, had zoned out. This really bother Dumbledore greatly, Severus hadn’t been his old self since two days ago and Dumbledore was really curious as to what could had happened to made the man change like that;: to say that this new development also irritate the Headmaster was an understatement, after all who had heard of something that doesn’t reach the old man’s ear?

“Severus, are you sure…”



“It is nothing, I have to go.” Severus stood up and opened the door just to find himself face to face with Harry Potter.



Both of them looked at each other for a moment, neither of them gave away a sign of knowledge about the incident that took place two days ago. Suddenly Harry flashes the Potions Master a smirked that he made sure the old man missed, and then he directed his eyes to the headmaster.



“I am sorry Sir, but Ron just told me that you need to talk to me.”



“Yes, Harry. Please come in.” Harry stood inside and sit himself in front of Dumbledore’s desk. “Severus, is anything else you…”



“No.” cut the man and before he could leave the office he heard the voice of the blasted boy reach his ears.



“Have a good day, Sir.” The door closed and Dumbledore and Harry sat there in silence, Harry directed the old man a puzzled looked.” Is it something wrong with Snape?”



“Professor Snape, Harry.” Correct Dumbledore for the umpteenth time at least,” and I am no so sure…lately he seems distract.”



Harry fake an excellent confuse frown and went back to the matter in hand.

“So Sir, do you want to see me?”



“Yes, Harry. “ Dumbledore stood up and put out a small box, the initials GG were engraved in it.” Severus here, just give me a very interesting piece of information that made me took this last step on your education a little further.”



Harry watched with curiosity the box and then at the Headmaster who put it in front of the boy.



“This is an heirloom of the Potter family.”



“A …an heirloom, what are you doing with it then Sir?” asked Harry containing himself from screaming or just let his magic do the talking.



“You see Harry, this kind of artifacts are only giving to the last member of the family when they turned out seventeen …it is my duty to give it to you now.”





Harry took the box and felt a soft surge of magic from it; Harry went to opened it when something inside his mind told him not to do it. His instinct, which had saved him so many times was screaming the same and Harry merely put the box on his lap. Dumbledore’s eyes went bright for a moment when he saw Harry stretch briefly his hand to opened it; finally after so many attempts to break in he would know what was the heirloom of the Potter family, but after a few second of hesitancy Harry retrieve his hand and put the box on his lap, leaving a very disappoint headmaster. ‘Well, here goes my first cart, time to call for the second one.’



“What should I do with this Sir? And what does it have to do with what Professor Snape tell you and my education?”



“You need to prepare yourself for facing Voldemort Harry” said Dumbledore returning to his chair.” As you have read in the Prophet, he had gain not just power but influence and more allies, and it is getting pretty dangerous by the day. It is time for you to start a different training from that the school can offer you.”



Harry sat there, genuinely impress. ‘So finally, you have figured it out!!!’ thought Harry, then smirking mentally,’ but, I have to say that it is too late for that.’



“What kind of training Sir?” Dumbledore smile gently at the boy, he knew that Harry would be that disconcert and, should he say, thrilled by the idea.



“Not yet Harry, you would know abut it pretty soon.” Said Dumbledore.” Anyway I think you don’t want to lose the weekend in Hogsmade, you may go.”



“Ok and thank you Sir. You know…for everything.” Said Harry taking the box with him and getting out of the office.



Harry started walking down the hall when he stopped closing his eyes.



“Coming, coming wherever you are…” he said in a sing-song voice,” come on Draco, you know you can hide your signature for me.”



“Why you do always spoiled my attempts to scare you?” breath a voice behind Harry’s neck. Harry rolled his eyes and turned around to see Draco Malfoy with a scowled on his face.



“I don’t spoil anything; you used too much power to do this so…it is easy for me to know that you are here.”



“Oh I forget, nothing escapes the claws of the famous Harry Potter.”



“Exactly” said Harry with a smug smile.



“I thought Gryffindor teach you to be humble.” snorted Malfoy.



“Ah…but, that’s the thing I am half Gryffindor and Half Slytherin…and we Slytherins don’t learn such a things.” Said Harry with amusement. Draco merely rolled his eyes, there was always the discussion about Harry being or not a Slytherin and every time the damn Gryffindor ended up doing something Slytherin-Like and Draco end up losing money. Not this time though.



“Here I just came here to give you this.” Said Draco passing Harry a bag with galleons in it.



“Well, well, well, Mr. Malfoy is paying his debts.” Said Harry raising an eyebrow impress.



“I always paid them Potter.”



“I know.” Said Harry passing the boy the box he had on his hand and then trying to put the bag inside his robes. Draco watches carefully the box and watch with curiosity the double G engraved in it. “What is this?”



“Don’t know, Dumbledore just gave it to me, said something about an heirloom.” Draco opened his eyes shocked and looked from Harry to the box.



“An Heirloom, as in your family heirloom?” Harry nodded before taking the box back.

“Can I see it?” asked the blonde boy, Harry looked over at him and his eyes narrowed.



“Of course you can…after you tell me what it means that this is my family heritance. Meet me tonight, same place same hour.” Draco bowed slightly at the direct order he was receiving from Harry, and taking the hint the blond Slytherin turned around and walked away. Harry watched the box carefully; apparently this was more than a simple artifact.





After his brief encounter with Potter in the Headmasters office, Severus had left Hogwarts to take a drink on the Hog’s Head. He needs something to cool down himself with, to forget everything that had happened. He still didn’t understand why Harry Potter had affected him so much, why the young man had broken all the defenses around his mind, around his emotions. Severus empty his fire whisky in one shoot, he couldn’t let that simple event affect him like that!!! He wasn’t about to let that stupid event to just shattered his world. It had been a good…let’s said fucked. Yes, they boy had got him off and that was it, Potter apparently didn’t even bother about it, why should him. Right? With that in mind, Severus stood up, let some money on the table and leave the place.



***********************************************



Outside the cold air from the out coming winter hit him in the face with full force; Severus put the cloak around him and started walking down the street when a well-known voice called his attention.



“Harry, where you got all that money?” said Hermione, eyes wide open as well as Ron’s ones. Harry lifts his head and turned around to see Severus Snape there, Harry smile sweetly and said.



“Well I won a bet” Hermione and Ron looked over at Severus and then at Harry.



“What kind of bet?” asked Hermione in a suspicious voice, Harry merely shrugged and said.



“One worth winning. Are you to coming with me: yes or no?”



“Yeah, sure Mate.” Said Ron following Harry inside the small store. Hermione stood there for a moment a looked over Severus who was still there with an expressionless face.



“Yes, Miss Granger?” asked the man with a hint of exasperation in his voice. Hermione flinch a little and do something that Severus would had never thought, she smile at him.



“Nothing Sir, I just…” she wave her hand and followed both boys inside the store. Severus stood there for a moment before resume his walked with one thought in mind: ‘so he had made a bet…and won it’



Hermione made her way to Harry who was currently watching a set of swords on the wall. She looked around to make sure no one could hear them before whispering to Harry.



“Ok, tell me. What did you do to Professor Snape Harry?” Harry looked up at Hermione with a fake offend looked on his face.



“You are accusing me of something specifically Miss Granger?” Hermione narrowed her eyes and was very tempted to hit Harry but she contains herself.



“I was there when you were fighting with Draco about how Slytherin were you, about a hundred Galleons and I am pretty sure I heard the name of Severus Snape several times.” Harry rolled his eyes and returned his attention to the swords in front of him.



“I knew I shouldn’t let you in that time.” Mumbled Harry before sighing and picking one of the swords.



“I sort of win the bet because I made what Draco said I should do” Hermione paled and put a hand on her forehead.



“Please Harry; tell me you didn’t sleep with him?”



“With whom?” asked Ron coming from behind Hermione, making the girl jumped a little. Harry chuckle at that but returned his attention to the sword that had runes all over the blade with a black and silver color.



“With Seamus” said Harry casually. Ron opened his eyes and mouth in utterly surprise; he gaped once, twice before recovering.



“Se-Seamus... you…you two and you like and he and...” started Ron babbling.



“Yes with Seamus, Yes I like men just as much as I like women.” Said Harry taking the sword with him towards the man that was attending the store.



Ron was left behind with a looked of surprise that Hermione wiped from him with a smacked in the red heads head. After purchasing the sword, the Golden Trio left the store and walked back to the castle.



“You…you never say you like…men. I mean you did date my sister last year.” Commented Ron. Harry and Hermione merely rolled their eyes.



“Got a problem with it, then?” asked Harry and after a moment of doubt Ron shrugged his shoulders.



“No really.”



The Golden Trio resumed their walked and Hermione shoot a glare to Harry who understood pretty well the message. It was going to be a very long night.



*******************************************************





Harry was playing with the sword he had bought that day; he was trying out some of the movement he had learnt for group of strangers that he had met at the Quidditch World Cup. It was so easy to make people see what they want to see…a little ability had gained on his younger ages. He heard the door of the room close and a very satisfied Hermione Granger entered the place.



“So, you get ride of Ron?” asked the boy putting the sword aside and walking towards Hermione.



“Yes, he says something about detention.”Said Hermione, Harry nodded and locked is green eyes with hers. Hermione stood there unable to move or do anything beyond looking those eyes.”Harry…”



“I know you want to continue with the interrogatory.” Said Harry surrounding the girl, walking in circles around her.” But, just conform yourself to know that I ‘technically’ didn’t have sex with Snape, merely….entertain him.” Finished Harry with a smug smile on his face.



Hermione sigh and felling free from the invisible boundaries she allow herself to frown.

“You shouldn’t have done that, you know he is still a Professor and …he is a spy.”

“So is Draco, Blaise, Pansy, Ernie, Seamus, Hannah…”



“Ok, Ok…I get the picture.” Said Hermione stopping the never-ending list of their group.

“You know that Ron believes that you and me have something?” asked Harry randomly, Hermione lift her eyebrows in surprise at that question and shook her head.



“Why would he think that?” asked the girl in confusion and then at Harry pointed looked she blushed an interesting shade of red.



“Well, the question is not why he thinks it but why he noticed until now” said Harry coming closer to Hermione, the girl fidget a little but stood in place.” You know is kind of funny that he mention this recently and not two years ago when did, in fact, happen something”



“Yes, I guess.” Hermione and Harry looked at each other in the eye; they were pretty closed when the door behind them closed. Hermione flinch slightly while Harry merely turned around.



“My dear Lord Potter, if I had known you were busy, I should have call at the door” said Draco in a very respectful way that makes Harry rolled his eyes and Hermione giggle a little.



“Very funny, my dear Lord Malfoy.” Replied Harry, then as and afterthought.” Oh, wait you aren’t a Lord yet. Sorry about that.”



“Hey, I will, pretty soon if my father continues with his little crusade with the Dark Lord.”



“Yes indeed.” Hissed Harry,” any news?”



“Apart from what you already know? Not really, apparently the plan to get ride of Dumbledore is still in hold” Said Draco taking a sit beside Hermione, then the grey eyes f the boy light up as he remember why he was there.” Tell me, have you opened the box?



“What box?”



Harry pull out from his robes the box Dumbledore had giving him that day and show it to Hermione who watch it with interest.



“Is my heirloom, according to Dumbledore, the Potter heirloom?”



“Oh My God, Harry. Is it true?”



“Yes, tell me Draco. Is it true that I am only allowed to have it with me when I turned seventeen?”



“Yes, according with the Magical Law, once you are off age you inheritance all the vaults that correspond to your family, the properties, the title, and whatever else they had left you. Including the magical objects that were known as an Heirloom.”



“And, could anyone that it isn’t me, watch the contest of my heirloom or have access to it?”Draco frowned at that and shook his head.



“No, only a true member of the family, by blood and Magic, it is allowed to open and to manipulate it. The Heirloom usually had a great amount of magic that contain generations of generations of Magic that come in the family. No one but a true Potter can opened it.” said Draco watching Harry’s reaction.” Did Dumbledore try to look inside it?”



“Apparently.” Mumbled Harry watching the box carefully, and then smiling up at his friends” let’s opening it.”



******************************************



“Mister Weasley is so good to see you” said Albus Dumbledore from behind the desk, he was at the moment looking for Fawkes food. Ron entered the place and sit on his usual chair.



“I heard you want to see me headmaster?” said the boy a little nervous but with the bravery and proud of a real Gryffindor, as Dumbledore remind him so many times.



“Yes, indeed. Today I gave Harry a very important a valuable thing, a box with and artifact that belongs to him.” Commented Dumbledore looking at the read-head directly in the eye.” I would like you to see what is it and what does it does.”



Ron looked confuse for a moment before replying.



“But Sir, if you gave it to him, wouldn’t you know already what is it?”



“Unfortunately no. You see it had powerful enchantments around him that allow a real member of the Potter family to open it.”

“I see.”



“Then, would you help me?” Ron seems to think it for a moment before smiling and nodding.



“Of course Sir.”
