Who we really are

Disclaimer: Chapter One

Chapter Seven
Harry walked into the kitchen to wide eyes stares. He just stopped and looked around at everyone, Remus and Sirius burst out laughing.

Severus glared and said, “What the hell did I tell you about forgetting the God Damned silencing charms? Didn’t I also tell you that you would be punished if you forgot again while I was in the same house?”

Harry’s eyes got wide.

“But Sev, it was an accident! Surely you wouldn’t punish us?”

Severus whispered a spell that shredded his mesh shirt.

“Sev this was one of my last ones!”

He smirked, “I know, I destroyed the others too, but that was in training. Don’t expect this to be your only punishment.”

“Of course Sev,” Harry pouted

“Now I believe some of you had questions still?”

Molly asked the first question.

“The only question I have, will Blaise be good to my son?”

“Yes Mrs. Weasley, he cares a lot for Ron.”

“Good, that’s all I wanted to know.”

Hermione looked pissed off.

Slytherin’s don’t know how to care for people.”

Harry’s eyes flashed.


“I’ve warned you Granger don’t make me tell you to watch your mouth again because you will not like the consequences. There isn’t anyone alive that can stop me.”

Hermione shut up and sank back in her chair.

“Harry was that necessary?” Dumbledore asked

“Yes, but now that we know that the Slytherin’s aren’t out to kill anyone, does anyone have anymore questions?”

“We…”
“…have one…” Fred and George said.

“Yes?”

“Did you enjoy yourself as much as it sounded like?” They asked together.

Everyone laughed but Dumbledore and Hermione.

Harry just smirked.

“We’ll if no one has anymore questions I’m going back upstairs. We’ll all be down for dinner in a little wile.

“We’ll come with you Harry.” The twins and Ginny followed him upstairs.

Fred, George, and Ginny got left with Ron and Blaise while Harry went into his own room.

Harry walked in to see Draco sitting on the bed.

“Now Draco, surely you would have gotten dressed while I was down answering questions.”

“Of course not prat, you’ll be lucky if I allow you to leave this room until tomorrow.”

“Now Dray, I promised we would be down for dinner.”

He was already shredding what was left of his shirt and his pants until he was standing in only his boxers.

“Harry, what happened to your shirt?”

Harry glared.

“Sev ruined my shirt because we forgot silencing charms again.”

Draco paled.

“Umm….he didn’t happen to mention what the rest of our punishment would be did he?”

“No, just that it would be coming.”

“Damn, we’ll have to be careful until he actually does something.”

“Yea.”

Harry climbed into bed to lie next to Draco. They curled around each other and went to sleep.

There was a serious discussion going on in Ron and Blaise’ room while Harry and Draco were sleeping.

“Ron, I’m telling you that mum is fine with you and Blaise.” Ginny said.

Ron was sitting with a shocked expression on his face.

“Really, she’s actually ok with it?”

“Yes Ron.”

They had been telling Ron and Blaise what had happened downstairs.

“After that Fred and George asked if it was as much fun as it sounded.”

Fred and George smirked.

“He still didn’t answer our question.” They said.

Blaise spoke up, “So Sev shredded his shirt? The material wasn’t mesh by any chance was it?”

Ginny looked at him.

“How did you know what material it was?”

“It’s becoming Sev’s personal goal to destroy every mesh shirt Harry owns. He started that when Harry kept wearing them to training sessions and distracting Draco. So he would shred it and make Harry go change clothes. It also became regular punishment when they forgot silencing charms. Usually something else will go along with it though.”

“Don’t they ever learn? Also why didn’t you two hear them?’ The twins asked.

Blaise looked at them, “Dray and Harry actually learn, never going to happen. As to why we didn’t hear them is because I put up a silencing charm when the two of them are alone to block out sound.”

They just stared at him.

“That’s kind of weird that you just automatically do that. Do you have one up now?”

“Of course, though Dray and Harry are probably sleeping at the moment.”

“Why do you say that?” Ron asked.

“They’ll be wary, and I’m sure neither one of them have had a lot of sleep.”

“Why wouldn’t they?”

“Excitement about getting to see each other most probably.”

They got an alert from downstairs.

“Why don’t you guys go on downstairs, we’re going to wake up Draco and Harry?” Ron said.

“Alright, we’ll see you downstairs.” They all said.

Everyone left and Ron and Blaise carefully went next door to Draco and Harry’s room. They knocked on the door and no one answered. They opened to peer inside and Draco and Harry were curled around each other sleeping.

“They really love each other a lot don’t they?” Ron asked.

“Yes they do, and they deserve to love and be loved.”

“I’m willing to help protect their love no matter what.”

“I am too. I just want to warn you. Harry might be punishing me for something I did.”

“Punishment for what?”

“I can’t tell you, I just wanted to warn you.”

They walked farther into the room. Blaise used his want and said something so that there would be loud noise like an alarm clock.

Draco jumped almost a foot off the bed. They glared at Blaise and Ron.

“You have until after dinner. Then we meet in the training room. Ron you know where that is. We’ll see what you two remember.”

He smirked evilly.

“But Harry, you know my level isn’t up very high.” Ron whined.

“You can work with me Ron. Blaise you however are working with Harry.”

Blaise paled.

“You’ll go easy on me right?”

“We’ll see.” Draco said.

“You’ll meet us in training clothes, and we’ll proceed to set up a training area outside. There just isn’t room for four people in the study. This is also a punishment for your previous infraction.”

“We’ll let’s head down to dinner.” Draco said.

“I’m starving” Ron said.

That helped to lighten the mood and everyone laughed.

They walked into the room smiling and laughing. Hermione glared but wisely didn’t say anything.

Remus spoke up, “Hello Draco, Blaise, it’s good to see you. How has your time been since you got here?”

Draco smirked and Blaise spoke up before Draco could say anything.

“It’s been great I’ve really enjoyed getting to know Ron and just settling in. How have you been?”

“I’ve been great, sorry we haven’t written more, we’ve been busy.”

“It’s alright Remus, you and Sirius probably spent most of your time in bed. At least you remember your silencing charms.”

Severus, Remus, Sirius, Draco, and Harry burst out laughing while everyone else’s mouths dropped.

“Harry what happened to the “soft spoken, polite, until he gets to know you?”

“That disappears as soon as Remus is in the room.”

“Harry, mate, do all of your friends talk like you?”

“Of course, where do you think I learned it?”

Draco looked at him incredulously.

“Harry, I’ve known you since first year, and you have always talked like that. You were always traumatizing the other first years.”

Harry attempted to look affronted.

“Oh well, perhaps we should eat, after all we’re going to need our strength for after dinner.”

“Why is that Harry dear?” Molly asked.

“Oh, it’s just a little training.”

She looked skeptical.

“They’re punishing me.” Blaise said bluntly.

Severus smirked. “I know this kind of punishment. But don’t forget you still have me to deal with later Harry.”

“Don’t worry Sev, there’s no way we could have forgotten.” Draco said.

“What do you mean Severus, what kind of punishment is it?” Molly asked.

“Let me ask the boy’s a question first, before I explain.”

She nodded.

“So who is training with whom? Is this a private ‘training’ session?”

“I’ve got Blaise and Draco is working with Ron.”

“Which is another way to say Blaise is going to be in a lot of pain, Ron will be alright Draco will work well with him.” Severus said

Molly looked startled.

“What did Blaise do?”

Blaise paled again.

“I made a mistake and then proceeded to remind them of said mistake when I woke them up.”

“Oh.” Molly said.

Hermione was getting angrier and angrier.

“Potter! You’re becoming just like Voldemort, using pain to let out your anger!”

Harry looked livid.

“Granger, in case you’ve forgotten I’m a dark wizard. I’m not a nice person. I was TAUGHT by a dark wizard. Pain is an everyday occurrence. I’ve also warned you for the last time.”

“What are you going to do to me?” She asked looking fearful.

“I don’t have time to deal with you right now. I’ll deal with you fully when we get back to school. But you’ll get partial payment after I deal with Blaise.”

Harry had a malicious look in his eyes. They ate and the boy’s went upstairs to change. Harry transfigured a different type of training clothes for Ron.

As they walked back through the training room to get anything they needed and walked to the kitchen everyone stared at them.

“Would anyone like to watch?” Harry asked
