5) Unravling; Truth and Lies Prt. 1
12 Grimmwauld Place
(Four Weeks Later)
Harry- Both Dante and I have woken up bright an early, making sure our trunks are packed and that we're properly dressed in our school uniforms.
Dante- Coming downstairs we leave our trunks in the foyer and enter the kitchen. (Smirks Amusedly) "Should we be worried?" I sit up at the kitchen island beside my cousin.
Harry- We watch rather amused as our Godfather, sorry honorary mother runs around making sure we are not only fed, but have last minute belongings packed before we have to leave for the train.
Sirius- Placing platefuls of food in front of my pups. "Eat up, the train ride is hours long and you'll be starving by the time of the Welcoming Feast." I flit about the kitchen cleaning up the mess, all the while going over a mental list of the boys needed supplies as well as a few extra things. (Mumbles Incoherently)
Remus- Sitting adjacent to the boys with my own plate of food as I slowly sip at my coffee. (Hums Softly) "I wouldn't worry to much." Looking towards the doorway, that my mate had disappeared through. "He's not only excited, but very nervous."
Dante- Sharing a mirrored look of confusion with Harry. "We can understand that you'd both be excited, but why are you nervous?"
Remus- Setting my coffee aside as I glance between our cubs. "Getting accepted into Hogwarts is a huge ordeal..." Pausing briefly as a rather heavy tension builds in the air. "Except for the two of you, considering you both know the truth of what Albus and Minivera has really done to you and your parents we are just..." Pausing once more, taking a deep breath and slowly letting it out. "We're really worried about your safety and have every right to be."
Harry- (Frowns Deeply) "If your so worried, why not just send us to a different school then?"
Remus- (Sighs Heavily) "We've thought about it, trust us we have." Pinching at the bridge of my nose to stave off the oncoming headache. "But we quickly realized it would raise a lot of questions and would run the risk of the both of you being taken away from us."
Dante- Pushing the food around my plate. (Mumbles) "So you're sending us to a place that puts our lives literally on the line and are hoping nothing happens?"
Remus- Looking away from Dante's glowing scarlet orbs as I cower beneath his more dominating aura. "Yes?"
Dante- I stare at my Dog-Father unamused. (Rolls Eyes) "You've got no balls." Pushing my plate away, I slide off the stool and leave the kitchen.
Remus- I stare after the boy literally shocked.
Harry- (Snorts Amused) "Well, he's in a mood." I quickly finish my juice and follow after Dante.
(Ten Minutes Later)
Sirius- I walk into the kitchen to find it clean and my mate at the counter beside the sink, staring out the window drinking what seems to be a cup of coffee mixed with a bit of whiskey. "What happened?"
Remus- (Shakes Head) "Our pups are growing up Padfoot and they are on a mission." Staring off into the distance, I take another sip of my whiskey laced coffee.
Sirius- (Nods Understandingly) "That's what this is about then." I take the cup from him and empty the rest of the liquid down the sink. "Clean yourself up love, we need to get them to the station."
Remus- Looking at my mate through teary eyes, I mumble the incantation to clean myself up.
Sirius- (Smiles Lovingly and Whispers) "It's all going to be okay." Taking him by the cheeks, I give him a kiss.
Remus- (Chuckles) Eagerly returning the kiss as I rest my hands at my mates slender waist. "Who are you trying to convince, you or me?"
Sirius- Pressing my lips to my lovers once more. "Both of us. We need to trust that Dante and Harry can handle themselves."
Remus- (Nods) "I know our cubs can handle themselves, it's Albus and Minivera I don't trust."
Sirius- I had more to say, but checking the time I look at my lover in near horror. "We are gonna have to finish this conversation later, we need to get the boys to the station or they'll be late!" Taking Remus by the hand, we head off to find our pups. "Boys, we've got to go!"
Kings Cross Station
(Thirty Minutes Later)
Harry- Staring at the train in utter disgust. "This is a right of passage and what we'll be taking to and from school the next seven years?"
Sirius- (Chuckles Amusedly) "Afraid so." I ruffle the boys hair, looking between the two a bit worried. "Be careful, keep each other safe and for Merlin's sake if you do anything stupid don't get caught!"
Remus- (Rolls Eyes) "And do try to make friends."
Sirius- (Smiles Tearily) Hugging the boys close. "Make us proud pups and give both Albus an Mini Hell!"
Harry and Dante- (Smiles Widely) Returning the loving gesture. "We will!" Waving goodbye, we get unto the train.
Remus- Wrapping my arm around my mates waist, we watch our cubs as they get unto the train with the rest of the first years. (Mumbles Softly) "We should go tell Tom."
Sirius- (Nods Agreeingly) "It's been ten years, he'll want to know everything." We watch the train disappear into the distance and then entwining our fingers we disappear in a cloak of black smoke with a crack.
Hogwarts Express
Dante- Slowly weaving my way through all the other students, I lead Harry and I all the way to the back of the train.
Harry- Entering the compartment, I shut the door behind Dante and I.
Dante- Harry and I get comfortable, settling in a seat together.
(Thirty Minutes Later)
Draco- Having accidentally, slammed open the door I garnered two scathing looks. "My apologies, I was looking for a free compartment."
Dante- Quickly accessing the blonde. "Stay."
Draco- Hearing the direct order lacing the soft tone. (Nods) Entering the compartment as I shut the door behind me, sitting across from the two other first years. "I'm Draco Malfoy." I look between the other two boys expectantly.
Dante- I go back to reading, slowly flipping the page as I address the blonde. (Smirks) "Dante Gaunt."
Harry- Laying against my cousin, reading over his shoulder as I glance up at the other boy across from us. "Harry Potter."
Draco- My eyes widen in shock as it dawns on me who these two boys really are. "Your...your my cousins and you've been missing the last ten years!"
Dante- (Raises Eyebrow) It wasn't often you see a Malfoy lose their composure.
Harry- (Rolls Eyes) "Want to say that any louder? I don't think the whole train heard you."
Draco- Quickly composing myself. "Where have you been?"
Dante- Shutting my book as I set it aside, adjusting my position and wrapping my arm around Harry. "Harry and I have been in the clutches of Dumbledore an Minivera the last ten years. Our Godfathers Remus and Sirius have practically been raising us, they are spies and have been playing the Light. Harry and I will continue to be undercover until the true Evil Lord is destroyed."
Draco- Not even bothering to question whatever is going on between them. (Smirks) "Only eleven and already got war plans."
Harry- (Growls) "That bastard destroyed our lives!"
Draco- The truth of what he said hung heavy in the air, Dante nor I seemed to know what to say and were saved by the compartment door being slammed open. (Sighs Heavily)
Pansy- Looking into the compartment I find Draco and two other boys. "There you are Draco...who are they?"
Draco- Glancing behind Pansy, I see Blaze and Daphne. "Get in here, the three of you." I quickly move and sit to the left of Dante, after getting a nod of approval.
Blaze- The girls enter, then I shut the door behind us. "Well?"
Daphne- We all look at the two other boys expectantly.
Dante- My eye flash crimson. "Dante Gaunt." I tighten my hold on my cousin. "This is Harrison Potter."
Harry- Lightly hitting my cousin in the chest. "You know I hate the use of my full name."
Dante- (Chuckles) Pressing a kiss to his forehead.
Pansy- The three of us look at the two in utter shock. "You're the Dark Prince and the Potters child!"
Daphne- (Shrieks) "You've been missing for ten years, there was rumors you were dead!"
Blaze- Looking over at Draco. "How are you feeling, now that you've been reconnected with your cousins?"
Pansy and Daphne- "You're all cousins?"
Dante and Harry- (Nods) "We are."
Draco- Not able to help myself, I lean against Dante myself. "Better now that the torn bond between us has been reconnected."
Dante- (Chuckles)
Blaze- Sharing mirrored looks of bemusement with Pansy and Daphne, we all knew that these next seven years were gonna be epic.
Hogwarts Castle
(Eight Hours Later)
3rd Person P.O.V- Night has fallen as the scarlet express pulls into Hogsmead station, returning students getting into a carriage heading up to the school while all first years are gathered and taken across the lake.
Hagrid- Traversing across Black Lake without incident as I tell them all about the squid and marvelous creatures, getting to the shore I lead the first years up to the castle and into the main hall.
Minivera- Hagrid disappears down a secret corridor to the Great Hall as I address the children. "Welcome to Hogwarts."
Dante- I tune out the old hags annual 'Welcoming Speech', going over multiple ways to kill her.
Harry- Hearing a few shocked gasps, I quickly grab ahold of my cousin and shake him. (Whispers Harshly) "Snap out of it."
Draco- Before we garner the Headmistress's attention and anyone else's, I give Dante a pinch. (Whispers) "Calm down!"
Dante- It takes both Harry and Draco to snap me out of my blood rage. (Mutters) "Sorry."
Harry- Taking Dante by the hand as I give it a gentle squeeze. "We just have to be a little more careful, that's all." We were left out in the main hall by the Headmistress and that was both a good thing and obviously a bad thing.
Ron- Pushing my way through the rest of the first years, I stand before whom I assume is Harry completely ignoring the blond and cowering boy at his side. (Smirks Widely) "We're gonna be the best of friends and I'm gonna help you make friends with the right sort."
Dante- Looking the redhead up and down. (Laughs) "I'm sorry but you have the wrong boy, I'm not Harry." Turning to Draco. "Who is this?"
Draco- Taking one look at the redhead. (Snorts) "Red hair, freckles and handed down robes. He's a Weaselly. Ronald I believe, got a twin Ginivera." I point to the girl, who has taken quiet an interest in the bushy-haired one.
Ron- (Blushes Darkly and Hisses) "DeathEater!"
Draco- (Rolls Eyes) "Get over yourself carrot-top." Before the argument can ensue further, the Headmistress returns and calls for us to get into a single file line.
Minivera- I lead the first years into the Great Hall and pull out a scroll, calling their names one by one;
'Hannah, Abbot' 'HUFFLEPUFF'
'Melanie, Frenchie' 'RAVENCLAW'
'Seamus, Finnegan' 'GRYFFINDOR'
'Dante, Gaunt' 'SLYTHERIN'
'Hermione, Granger' 'RAVENCLAW'
'Daphne, Greengrass' 'RAVENCLAW'
'Theadore, Knot' 'RAVENCLAW'
'Luna, Lovegood' 'SLYTHERIN'
'Neville, Longbottom' 'HUFFLEPUFF'
'Draconian, Malfoy' 'SLYTHERIN'
'Pansy, Parkensen' 'SLYTHERIN'
'Harrison, Potter' 'SLYTHERIN'
'Dean, Thomas' 'GRYFFINDOR'
'Ronald, Weaselly' 'GRYFFINDOR'
'Ginivera, Weaselly' 'GRYFFINDOR'
'Blaze, Zambini' 'RAVENCLAW'
I finish reading off a dozen or so names as the first years all take their seats, taking my place up at the head table I share a look of utter horror with my husband.
Albus- Hearing Dante's birth name and not his adoptive name, had me shaken. (Smiles Tightly) Forgoing a usual speech, with a clap of my hands the grand feast appears as the children dig in.
(Slytherin Table)
3rd Person P.O.V- Sitting in a tight nit group is Dante, Harry, Draco, Pansy, Daphne, Blaze, Luna, Hermione and Theo.
Luna- Swallowing down down my bite of fruit. (Smiles Secretly) "You have our Headmaster all out of sorts, my Prince."
Dante- Taking a sip of my juice as I glare at the two people who have ruined so many lives. (Smirks) "Good." A war he wanted, a war he's gotten!
