***** Chapter 1 *****
Thank you for your interest in my story, yes…I have changed things to suit me
that’s me using creative license. Don’t let it annoy you, enjoy the story.
Kudos to the lady who created all of this in the first place so that fanfiction
writers could use them for their own purposes. Note: Amar is the only character
that I own.
It was miles away in a bright desert land when the figure lurking on the
outskirts of the city straightened. His crimson eyes flashed with excitement.
His soul mate had been born, though he could sense it was a long way from here
that mattered little to the darkly robed figure. He had almost given up hope
that he would be gifted with a soul mate. He had done so much in his long
life…and so little of it was worth a reward such as this. He licked his lips
and took off running. Forgetting the prey that was hiding just behind those
walls, they could wait. His form was a blur in the background as he traveled,
until he was with his mate he would be unable to feed or rest, it was a test of
sorts, a final test to see if one was truly worthy of their mate. He was
nothing more then a black shadow when he found his mate. He hid in the shadows,
watching and waiting.
It was a dark night as little Harry Potter was placed on the steps outside of
his relative’s house the shadow watching them closely was grateful for the
cover of darkness, it allowed him to keep a close watch on that which he had
been searching for, for many years. Red eyes narrowed as the Headmaster calmed
the concerned witch, telling her that it was all in Harry’s best interest for
the boy to grow up away from his fame. The shadow didn’t disagree with that,
however, he seriously doubted that growing up with people who apparently
despised magic was a much better choice. He sighed, these little mortals always
caused him such problems, and he shrugged the thought away any sacrifice was
worthy of his mate, and from what he had learned of the headmaster and the
witch’s conversation. His mate had already suffered much in his short life. He
prayed to his ancient gods that he would be enough to spare the child further
suffering.
He floated over to the prone baby’s form. Slowly his shadowy hand reached
forward and stroked the softly crying baby’s cheek. Wiping the tears away, he
couldn’t stand to see the little one in such distress; it caused a strange but
almost unbearable turmoil to arise inside of him. The baby immediately stilled
and smiled up at him and that settled it for him, yes, these mortals were a
pain, but for his precious one, there were no boundaries in which he would not
cross. He leaned down and slowly disappeared into his soul mate’s body. The
infant stilled and went eerily silent before its eyes flashed red for a moment
and then returned to their usual bright green.
“Vernon!” Petunia screeched as she pointed to the gurgling infant on her floor,
her little Dudley was playing at a neighbor’s house and she assumed that she
should bring that ‘other’ child out to play for a bit. She sighed, not sure why
she agreed to this in the first place. “Vernon! He’s doing it again!” she
wailed as the infant’s eyes flashed from green to red, matching what appeared
to be a baby conversation. She screwed her face up as she roughly grabbed the
baby “Well that’s enough out of you…” she whispered throwing him back into his
crib in the second bedroom that was used for storage and then she turned and
closed the door she’d deal with the child later.
Baby Harry whimpered and his face slowly turned red as tears fell from his
cheeks. His hand came up and gently stroked the tears away and he felt himself
leaning back against the old crib as his hands gathered what meager blankets he
was given and they were wrapped around his body. A shadowy form appeared before
him, causing the baby to giggle in joy "hush my little one…you will not have to
deal with these incompetent mortals for long, I have a friend who is coming to
help me protect you." The young boy nodded and curled up to sleep. He may not
have understood everything the voice had said, but he did understand that this
voice cared for him more than anyone else in this house, and that suited the
young savior very well.
The next day there was a sharp knock on the door Vernon shuffled their
sluggishly, he had only just finished his morning cup of coffee after all. He
scowled as he tried to lift himself up high enough so that he could peer
through the spy hole, he only saw a strange black shape, he hoped it wasn’t
another door to door salesman and he opened the door “What do you want?” he
asked sharply, before he felt the blood drain from his face. Lucius Malfoy,
though he had appeared in muggle clothing, was a terrifying sight to any soul.
His silver eyes were sharp his hair tastefully tied back and his entire
demeanor screaming authority her murmured in his aristocratic voice “I don’t
have time for pleasantries muggle, give me the child.”
Vernon’s eyes widened “No! Not Dudley! Get away ya dirty freak before I call
the cops on you! “He took a deep breath to continue his rant, however Lucius’s
patience was up and he muttered a spell “Perfectus Totalus” He gave a cruel
smile as the man fell back against the floor with a loud thud. A woman came out
of the kitchen screeching as she clutched an obese child to her chest “No!
Please not my son!” For a moment Lucius had a flashback to a Muggle born witch
who had pleaded those same words before she died. He smirked; to think that
this muggle was her sister…he shook his head. “I’m not interested in that fat
piglet that you call a child, I’m interested in the other child within your
care.”
Petunia’s entire demeanor changed in a matter of seconds. She sniffed haughtily
as she cooed to her Duddykins and placed him in his playpen, there was almost
no room for him in there with the amount of toys gathered inside of it. She
looked at him and said “What do you want with him” Lucius felt the very muggle
urge to roll his eyes at the woman as he said “I want to remove the child from
your care, and I assure you I will compensate you very much for your loss.” He
knew that if anything sealed the deal with these types of muggles, money was
always the answer. He inwardly smirked, now it was clear why Amar had contacted
him. The man had been insistent he could care for the child himself, but after
a few months with these people he knew that even his abilities would not ensure
the child’s safe upbringing. At the mention at his ‘compensation’ the woman
nodded eagerly “Of course let me go get him.”
Amar seethed wondering why it was taking so long for Lucius to show up!? After
all, the ‘wards’ that the Headmaster had been bragging about only worked if the
Aunt thought of Harry as family, which, considering the way she was treating
the boy was far from the truth. When she entered the room, muttering how she
would finally ‘be rid of the filth’ he knew that Lucius had arrived and that
everything was going according to plan. The woman roughly picked up Harry under
one arm, looked around the room and decided there was nothing that the child
needed. She came down and thrusted the baby into Lucius’s arms, it was only
because of his excellent reflexes that he caught the child at all. “Now about
that compensation…” she murmured greedily.
Lucius smirked “Oh yes…” He smiled darkly as he drew his wand which was glowing
with a sickly green light. Her screams were heard echoing from the house,
Amar’s glowing red eyes appeared on Harry’s face and he smirked as he joined
the fun. The two then left the house as the authorities appeared, with Aurors
not far behind them, all of them were shocked at the ferocity in which the
small family of three had been killed, though when they saw the second crib
they wondered if there had been more than one. They decided that the second
crib must have just been in storage. After all, no one would make a child live
in that sort of situation would they?
Narcissa smiled when she saw her husband returning with the bundle in his arms.
Her own son was toddling after her his young face full of curiosity at this new
arrival. “Is Amar well?” she asked as Lucius handed her the baby. Red eyes
flashed and a look of annoyance crossed Harry’s features. She giggled “Oh…” she
tried to hold back another laugh. Harry sighed and rolled his eyes before
turning back to green. Harry smiled up at her and opened his arms she smiled
warmly and cuddled the child close. At first Harry froze, not use to such a
response. Then he cooed happily and placed sloppy kisses on her cheeks. She
smiled and looked over the child before she pulled him away and eyed him more
critically “Lucius…why is he covered in dust?” Lucius sighed and as she washed
and changed their newest addition explained what had happened. She shook her
head “Muggles” she muttered. She smiled as she set Harry down with Draco, her
son looked over Harry critically before he asked “Baby going to stay Mother?”
his words still had a childish lisp but they already held the haughty tone that
was inherent with Malfoy’s.
Narcissa smiled and nodded “Yes he will be staying with us from now on.” Draco
turned and looked at the baby “What’s his name?” Harry apparently was tired of
all this questioning and reached forward wrapping his arms around Draco and
pulling him down. Harry yawned and nuzzled against Draco sleepily, cuddling
against him like Draco was his own personal teddy bear he smiled sweetly as he
fell asleep. Something flashed in Draco’s eyes and he smiled softly and held
the small baby close “I like this Baby mother…” He placed a soft kiss on
Harry’s forehead and looked up asking softly “What’s his name?” Narcissa
realized that there would be a problem with his name and with that scar. Her
husband nodded and leaned forward, muttering a permanent disguising charm on it
he leaned back and murmured to his wife “We can’t call him Harry…” Narcissa
smiled but shook her head “No…that wouldn’t do…” The parents slipped into
thought when Draco turned his head to the side “Amar says he likes the name
Julien for the baby” Draco smiled as he continued to stroke the baby’s soft
hair, Harry or Julien’s eyes opened revealing a crimson red and a smug little
smile. Narcissa and Lucius exchanged glances before nodding “Julien sounds like
a fine name.” Narcissa said as she picked up the boys and carried them to
Draco’s room.
Harry or Julien as he was now called giggled as Draco chased him across the
large lawn of the Malfoy Estate. Narcissa and Lucius were both watching closely
both smiling softly when it was clear that Draco was purposefully allowing
Julien to keep his distance. Finally Julien collapsed onto the soft grass,
giggling as he was quickly tackled by Draco. “Got you!” Draco murmured proudly
as he placed a tender kiss on Julien’s cheek. Julien smiled and nuzzled against
his ‘brother’. Though both of them knew they were not related they used the
term to uphold the family’s story of Julien being a second Malfoy child, though
the boys were only several weeks apart Julien was able to pass off as a year
younger than Draco because of his smaller stature.
Amar took control and growled out, his red eyes flashing with indignation “I’ll
get you for that you little snake.” Draco smirked at the challenge and already
began to back away, preparing to run “Let’s see if you can.” He dashed off with
now Amar behind him, Amar had almost caught up with the boy when Julian took
over again. “Be nice to Draco.” He murmured. His red eyes flashed for a moment
with annoyance before a small smile graced his lips “Very well.” Julian smiled
and grinned at Draco “He almost got you that time.” Draco huffed and said
loftily “Only because I would have let him.”
The years passed peacefully for the Malfoy family, it was easy to sell the
story of their dark haired son. They had officially claimed Harry as their own
child, changing his name and blood adopting him into the Malfoy family. It was
when he turned eleven that their problems started. Dumbledore, whom had assumed
Harry was safe the whole time, felt the first stirrings of panic inside of him
when the boy did not have a letter to send from Hogwarts.
“Mother I got a Letter from Hogwarts!” Julian Malfoy grinned happily as he
showed his mother the letter. Draco huffed and said “Of course you did silly
you turned eleven.” Julian smirked and said “Yes but they think that I’m 10 and
I still got my letter…they must believe that I’m gifted.” Draco caught the
implication and sneered at him “Well, I see you won’t need me then if you are
so ‘gifted’.” In a moment Julian was at his side, kissing Draco’s cheeks softly
“You know that I was just teasing Dray.” Draco felt himself relax and returned
a kiss or two on Julian’s cheek “I understand.” The boys shared a secretive
smile before Amar took control. His red eyes flashing with mirth he muttered “I
hope you boys don’t keep that up through school…after all it would be quite
distracting.” Draco smirked proudly and murmured “I can’t help it if we’re
attractive.” Amar smirked and turned to Lucius “We’ll have to inform your
Master about Julian soon…I can’t sense his current state, so he is either very
weak or not strong enough to have a state yet, and he must be brought up to
date so that he can plan accordingly.”
Lucius smiled the smile that reminded everyone who was near by that he was not
only a Death Eater, but also the right hand man to the Dark Lord himself. “Yes,
he informed the inner circle that he would be in a sense ‘possessing’ one of
the teachers this year; I believe it was Quirrel that he has used. I plan on
visiting the school so that I might tell him face to face of the developments.”
Amar nodded and smiled roguishly, the smile looking far out of place on
Julian’s innocent features “Yes, that’s good, I do not want anything unexpected
happening to him this year.” Lucius and Narcissa both nodded in agreement. At
first they took the boy in because their close friend asked them to, and it
would be beneficial to them in their holdings of the inner circle. Now however
the saw the boy as their second son, they loved him and cherished him, in their
own way, they only hoped that Amar and their Dragon were enough to protect the
boy through the dangers he would face.
Julian looked around in amazement as they entered station. Of course being
raised a Malfoy his face remained impassive as always, but of course Draco
could always tell what was going through his mind “Oh quit gawking…you’ll get
mistaken for a muggleborn if you keep that up.” Julian blushed and turned to
Draco “I’m just so excited.” He murmured. Draco nodded in return, he was
excited as well but as he looked over his dark haired brother he couldn’t help
but remember the conversation that he had with Amar last night after Julian was
asleep.
“It will be up to you to keep him safe this year Draco, while I am inside of
him I can only use my abilities sparingly, to use them to much could damage him
as his body would be unused to such stress.”
Draco nodded solemnly he promised that nothing would happen to either of them
while he was watching. Amar gave a dark smile and said:
“I’m glad we have chosen you Dragon, you are what we need to keep us safe,
Julian is so delicate, yet so much will be asked of him. It is up to us to keep
him strong.”
Draco smiled fully this time “Malfoy’s protect what belongs to them.” He
reached forward and stroked Julian’s cheek, the boy shifted in his sleep and
Amar’s red eyes warmed as he looked at the young Malfoy Heir “Yes…that goes for
my kind as well.” He leaned in and kissed Draco softly on the lips “And you
both belong to me.”
Draco blushed but said nothing, Amar sensed that it was time for both of them
to join Harry in sleep, he stroked his fingers through Draco’s hair and
murmured “Be safe my Dragon.”
Now on the platform and seeing the looks that Julien was getting he understood
the importance better than before. He had to keep their Julien safe. Unaware of
the resolve Draco was going through Julian turned and smiled at Draco “I don’t
care what house I get into, I just hope that I’m in yours.” Draco chuckled at
this and pulled Julian protectively close “Well then I hope that the snakes
don’t eat you alive.” Julian looked at him confused and Draco shook his head
meaning it was unimportant. As they boarded the train together they waved to
their mother and father.
On the train Julian was trying his best to keep up with Draco. Although he
didn’t show it on his face he was mentally rolling his eyes, he loved Draco,
but he thought that sometimes he let the ‘Slytherin Prince’ Façade take a
little too much control over him. He was reassured when Draco subtly looked
back to make sure that Julian was keeping up. They were about to enter a
compartment when a red-headed form pushed him aside flat against the wall,
almost crushing Julian with his weight.
“Watch where you’re going pipsqueak!” Julian’s eyes widened in shock at having
been addressed so callously, Draco was immediately over pushing the red head
off of Julian he drew his wand and the tip was glowing with power “Care to try
that again Weasly?” Ron sneered at the two and said “I always knew that your
family had connections Malfoy, but seriously? Your little brother gets to go
into school a year early?”
Draco inwardly sighed; he would have preferred to take care of these types of
battles in private away from Julien. He smirked instead and said “Well can we
honestly help it if he’s intelligent enough to get in? It’s not our fault that
our family can afford better education.” Ron was as red as his hair and he
snarled raising his fist towards Draco it was deftly caught at the wrist. He
turned his shocked face to Julian whose eyes were a crimson red, Julian growled
out, in a darker tone then he used previously. “Think carefully before you take
that action.” Ron’s face paled and he slowly stumbled away, muttering “Freak.”
Under his breath, the people who had crowded to watch the show quickly
disappeared as well and Draco hurried Julian into an empty compartment.
Julian stared off blankly into the window, the word ‘freak’ was echoing in his
mind, digging up painful images that he hoped were only nightmares of the past.
He knew that he was not related, but rather, adopted by the Malfoy’s but they
never talked about his life before the adoption. Though Amar always told him he
was far better off, and he believed the spirit, he once tried to get Amar to
tell him what it was like, but the spirit refused, muttering darkly in what
could only have been his native language Julian figured it was one of those
‘we’ll tell you when you’re older’ things. He also knew all about ‘Harry
Potter’ no wizerding child didn’t, he also knew that he used to have that name
before his adoption, but he figured everything would come around full circle
soon enough, and that chasing after problems only made them bigger.
Draco was watching Julian from out of the corner of his eyes and wanted to rid
him of the contemplative look on his face. Julian turned and smiled softly at
Draco, and Draco returned it. Julian’s eyes turned red and he cupped Draco’s
cheek as he brought the blond forward and placed a soft kiss on his lips “Those
are only the beginnings of the problems that we will have this year.” Draco
nodded as they parted from the kiss. Julian returned to normal and smirked at
Draco “You and Amar are plotting something aren’t you?” Draco smiled back
almost innocently, and the two lapsed into silence for the rest of the trip.
The two Malfoy’s held hands as they were slowly called forward into the line.
Draco was called first “Slytherin!” The hat announced before even touching his
head. Draco smirked proudly, but only Julian caught the look of concern that he
flashed him, though they had said nothing of it, both were concerned about
where Julian would be placed.
“Malfoy, Julian.” McGonagall called Julian took a breath to steady himself,
Amar was in the back of his mind telling him that he would be fine no matter
where he was placed. Julian chuckled mentally and murmured ‘I doubt that being
in Gryffindor or Hufflepuff would suit either one of us very well.’ Amar
chuckled as they ascended the stairs and Julian calmly sat on the stool. The
hat was placed over his eyes and ears, casting him into darkness and silence.
“Well well well…very interesting Mr. Malfoy…or is it Mr. Potter? No no Malfoy
far better suits you now, and what’s this? A visitor in your mind? This will
make it very hard to place you; I’ll have to take both of you into account when
making the decision. I’m afraid you’re quite right, Hufflepuff is out for you,
though you are both loyal it’s only to suit your own ends, you’re both very
clever and have a thirst for knowledge….brave but once again only when it suits
you so Gryffindor is out.” Both sighed in relief when their two least favorite
choices were eliminated. It took the hat a few more moments before he announced
“Slytherin!”
Julien grinned as he joined his brother at the table; the entire room was
stunned for a moment before the applause picked up. Draco had Julian sit next
to him and murmured “It took the hat fifteen minutes to figure out you were
meant to be in Slytherin?”
Julian was surprised that he head been up there for so long, but he quickly
relayed all that the hat had said making Draco smirk with pride “You must tell
father and mother, the will be most impressed.”
Two sets of dark eyes were watching the Malfoy boys, one was those of the
resident Potions Master, Severus Snape, he knew about Julien’s past, and
couldn’t wait until Dumbledore’s downfall was a result of his own high
handedness, the second set belonged to both Voldemort and his current body.
They looked on to the young boy’s with interest ‘Sssooo thisss isss what Malfoy
wass talking about when he sssaid he had a little sssurprise for me…' Voldemort
watched as Julien’s emerald eyes flashed crimson for a moment and locked gazes
with him, his face twisted to give a smug smirk and Voldemort chuckled softly
‘Thisss will be good.’
***** Chapter 2 *****
Thank you for the reviews! Kudos to J.K Rowling, have fun!
‘Really it’s just one harmless little curse…is it really such a bad thing? Just
raise your wand and point it at her and then slowly whisper…’ ‘No! Amar I am
not going to do that! Yes she was very insulting, but that’s no reason to curse
her! I’m sure she’s embarrassed enough that I brushed her off soon after.’
Draco was watching this ‘conversation’ with interest, Julian’s face would
change back in forth from exasperated to a cajoling smug smile that could only
belong to Amar. Not to mention the fact that their eyes changed color
constantly as they spoke inwardly “As fun as it is to watch you two argue…I’m
feeling a little left out here.”
Amar who was the one in control currently smiled and slowly came over to
Draco’s side. He cupped Draco’s chin and leaned forward “I’m sorry my Dragon to
make you feel ignored, I was only trying to convince our Julian that he should
seek revenge over that wench who dared to taint his lips with her own.” Draco
was smiling and leaning into the touch. He secretly agreed with Amar that the
forward Hufflepuff had to be put into her place he had already began to plot
how he would get his revenge.
Julian was back in control and sighed “Really you two are impossible, it was
just a little kiss, Draco does worse to me every night.” This statement caused
Draco to smile smugly with pride “That’s completely different Julian.” Amar was
back in control and was nodding empathically “Yes very different my little
love, Draco and I are the only ones allowed to kiss you.”
Amar smirked and looked at Draco “In fact the same should be said for you
Draco, that young Julian and I are the only one’s who should be allowed touch
you in such a way.” Draco rolled his eyes “Oh please, how can I possibly please
Julian if I’ve never practiced?” Julian sighed as he took control again “O.K
that’s definitely enough out of both of you!” He gave a sigh and turned to go
back to work “Do try to remember that this homework is due and that we really
shouldn’t start off our Hogwarts career looking shabby.”
Both Amar and Draco were smiling indulgently as Julian tried to change the
course of conversation “Spoilsport.” They said at the same time, winking at
each other they soon got to work. The Slytherin common room was empty at the
moment, most of the students were loitering around at dinner, but Draco had
decided that he had secured his place as the Prince of Slytherin enough that he
could spend some alone time with Julian and Amar.
Draco was watching Julian out of the corner of his eyes, his essay already done
he settled for just watching him. Julian’s hair was messy as always, though it
was longer than Draco’s which tamed it somewhat, it was out of the black silk
ribbon that Julian usually put it up in, brushing just slightly over his
shoulders, it perfectly out lined Julian’s cherub face. Draco shook his head,
Julian was only 11, and though he was very innocent Draco felt a burning desire
to make sure that Julian was forever as innocent and carefree as he was in this
moment in time.
Amar too was watching his young loves, he had thrilled watching them grow, and
now he knew they would grow and mature faster than he had ever imagined. He
could already see that his Dragon was a feisty one. He knew that Draco would
likely wait a few more years to get much more ‘experience’ than kissing, but he
would be sure that none of Draco’s little affairs were anything more than a
passing interest. Though he seriously doubted any could compete with Julian for
a place in Draco’s heart. He turned his attention back to his soul mate, Julian
was done with his essay as well, and he was only pretending to give them the
cold shoulder and checking his essay over once again for any mistakes he might
have made. Amar sighed happily, this was as close to heaven he and his little
loves would ever get before hell tried to take over.
Lucius knelt before his fire place and watched as the emotions flickered over
his Master’s deformed face; he had finished explaining everything about Julian,
and was only able to pray that his master saw the boy in a positive light.
Voldemort seemed to sense his unease and gave a snakelike laugh. “Don’t worry
sssso Luciusss, I’m happy that we have young Harry…Julian ssso firmly on our
ssside, killing children hasss never interessssted me.” Lucius felt himself
slowly relax. “Though I do wisssh I knew more about this…Amar character.”
Lucius looked up and said “My lord I can vouch that after Amar sees how
Dumbledore treats his pawns he will never allow Julian to join their side. He
cares about the boy far too much to allow him into such a manipulative grasp,
and he already thinks ill of the headmaster because of the…’care’ that Julian
was placed into when he was younger.” Voldemort nodded “Yes…I do not know much
about his kind…but asss long asss he isss not against me there isss no reassson
why I sssshould make an enemy out of what could be an ally.” Lucius nodded “He
knows that the boy will one day have to fight, if there is anyway to forestall
such an event from happening until Julian is 16 that would be ideal.”
Voldemort looked over his most loyal Death Eater and asked “And…why isss that.”
Lucius looked up and gave a very dark smile “Because once he is sixteen Amar
will be strong enough to regain a body of his own, and he will be able to fight
along side the boy, and he will be most vicious to any who threaten his soul
mate, and Draco as well.” Voldemort smiled and said “I look foreword to meeting
thisss Amar very much. I will try to keep the boy out of danger until he is
ssssixteen, but I cannot speak for Dumbledore assss well.”
Lucius nodded he was happy he had at least secured the word of his Lord and
Master that Julian would be safe until he was sixteen. Already he could see
that Voldemort would favor Julian, and by association Draco as well. He bowed
farewell to his master and Voldemort disappeared from the fire. Narcissa came
up from behind him, if she were a weaker woman there would have been tears of
relief in her eyes, as it was her expression was a simple, but warm smile.
Lucius nodded and hugged her close “As long as Dumbledore leaves them alone,
our sons are safe.”
As this conversation was going on Dumbledore was pacing madly in his office. He
had cast every spell he knew, legal or not, to find the elusive Harry Potter,
but the boy had simply vanished. The spells confirmed that the boy was not
dead, but neither could they confirm he was alive. He growled as he through a
teacup against the wall, he knew he should have put more spells on the boy, but
no, he had wanted to appear a paragon of the light, and how he had lost his
most valuable solider. As he stormed about his office Fawkes was watching the
scene with disgust. He was bound to the castle, unable to leave unless a more
powerful wizard claimed him, and unfortunately for him, Dumbledore killed off
anyone who appeared to be gaining too much power. Dumbledore sat down in his
chair and glared into the flames “I’ll find him…” he muttered darkly “I’ll find
him.”
Amar smiled as he looked over his little ones, tucked into the same bed, none
of the Slytherins had said anything when the boys looked at their beds only
five feet apart and then instantly moved them together. He saw that Draco’s
arms were wrapped protectively around Julian as he slept, he stroked his see
through fingers through Draco’s hair and murmured “Keep watch my dragon.” And
flew out of the tower.
He first went to the headmaster’s tower, to see how the man really was when no
one was watching, he was already distrustful of him because of the care he had
left Julian in when he was only a baby, and this was further proved when
Dumbledore didn’t take the time to further investigate the deaths of the
Dursleys. He watched as the man stormed about, and he also saw the disheartened
phoenix. He came over by the powerful bird and gently stroked its head “Don’t
worry my friend; soon you will have a new master.” Fawkes looked up at him and
trilled softly so only he could hear it.
The next stop was the current D.A.D.A teacher’s private rooms, he came in as
Quirrel was just finishing a conversation into the fire with who appeared to be
Lucius, and he heard the Dark Lord pledge to keep the boys safe as much as he
could and he knew immediately whose side he was one. He waited politely until
the conversation was finished before he made his presence known.
“Good Evening.” Hissed Voldemort, he turned around so that Amar and Voldemort
might talk face to face so to speak. “To you as well” Amar replied, not yet
sure what title he should take with the man, he had decided to follow him, but
he was by no means a cowardly minion. Voldemort seemed to sense the tangle in
the shadow’s emotions and a hissing laugh was heard “I do not expect one of
your ssstance to bow to me.” Amar felt himself relax and he nodded “Thank you,
from what I have seen, and that is quite a list, it seems you are the one who
holds Julian’s best interest close to heart.”
Voldemort nodded “Yesss, the boy hasss the potential to become very powerful,
and with a sssoul mate like yourssself and a protector such asss the young
Malfoy heir, he will be neigh unssstoppable, I do not want to make any
enemiesss with thossse who could help the causse.” Amar nodded “Yes that is my
feeling as well, I have lived in this English Wizarding world and I believe
some darkness might just be what it needs to save it.”
Voldemort sighed in what could have been called relief “I am very glad you
ssssee it my way ssso few trussst the darknessss to sssave them when it isss
the light that isss killing them off.” Amar smiled and said “Yes and the fact
there a chance of me getting revenge against those who have harmed my precious
ones will be most useful.” Voldemort hissed a laugh again and said “I’m sssure
that we will become great alliesss.” Amar smirked and said “’Allies’ is another
word for pawns. I prefer it if we called each other ‘friend’.” This seemed to
stun the Dark Lord for a moment before he nodded slowly “Then…friendsss it
iss.” Amar smiled and said “I must return to my home, it will wear out young
Julian too much if I am gone for much longer.” Voldemort smirked and nodded
“Very well…I will sssee you another time.” And with that the shadowy figure
vanished from before him.
Julian awoke and smiled as he sensed that Amar had returned, he nuzzled closer
against Draco’s warm chest and murmured “Where did you go?” He could feel
Amar’s ghostlike fingers stroke over his wild long hair and Amar murmured in
response “I was only gone to secure your safety little one.” Amar held his
breath, afraid to hope for more when a bright green eye opened and Julian
softly murmured “I missed you.” Amar felt warmth flood through him and he
kissed Julian’s cheek softly and murmured “I have missed you for far longer.”
The innocent boy was not able to fully understand, and so he turned and went
back to sleep. Amar smiled and turned to Draco who had pretended to be
sleeping. “I missed you as well my little dragon.” Draco opened an eye and said
haughtily “I’m taller than Julian.” He gave a smug little smile before he went
back to resting his cheek on top of Julian’s soft hair. Amar watched over his
boys and slowly returned to Julian’s body. “I will keep you both safe.” He
vowed. And in the darkness of the sky his ancient god’s vowed it as well.
“Draco! Your hair was perfect when you last checked it fifteen seconds ago! Now
if you want any food to be left I’ll say this one last time get your arse down
here so we can get some breakfast.” Draco smirked and walked slowly out of the
bathroom “Really? Arse? Such a common word, I’m afraid you’re hanging around
the little folk too much brother.” Julian sighed and the rest of the Slytherin
house, who had been patiently waiting their Prince to take them to breakfast,
smirked indulgently at Julian. For while one Malfoy was their Prince, they saw
the other as Treasure, Julian huffed and turned his back on Draco and tilted
his head snootily “Then next time I will go to breakfast by myself…and perhaps
run into a certain Hufflepuff again.”
It took Draco only a second to catch onto what Julian was saying and he was at
the younger boy’s side in an instant, his arms wrapped possessively around
Julian’s body he whispered into Julian’s ear so none of the other’s could hear
“The second she touches you again, I don’t care what you say, I’ll do what Amar
can’t and hex her so bad no one will want to look at her until after she
graduates.”
Julian pretended to be shocked by his brutal ‘brother’ but instead he smiled
darkly and murmured “Maybe I’ll have to test that little promise.” Draco raised
a brow and smirked as he began to lead them out to breakfast. “For a second I
could have sworn I was talking to…” he trailed off when he saw the faint
redness in Julian’s eyes disappear and smirked, “Very well.” He murmured.
As they Slytherins made their way to the Dining Hall they ran into Ron, Ron
sneered at the snakes as they walked past, but soon decided to ignore them all
when he looked directly at Julian and smirked “What to afraid to walk around
with out your big brother to protect you? Why I hope he doesn’t have to change
your nappies as well.” Julian flushed with embarrassment and anger. His
glinting red eyes showing that the anger was gaining control. Draco was
watching the whole scene and noticed that every Slytherin had drawn their wand
discreetly, he chuckled and said “At least his older brother cares about him,
unlike yours…in fact if I were to say anything your brother’s are doing their
best to not associate with you.”
Ron’s faced predictably reddened as he opened his mouth to make another retort
while the attention was off of him Amar took control and silently directed
Julian’s wand towards Ronald’s figure and used silent magic to cast a spell. It
was only seconds later when a foul stench began to fill up the halls and loud
gurgling sounds could be heard coming from Ron’s bowels and dark brown stains
slowly appeared on his pants. “Well…it seems that someone does need their
nappies changed.” Draco drawled his eyes looking over at Amar who was smirking
proudly before returning power to an irate Julian.
Professor Severus Snape was making his way down to the Slytherin chambers,
wondering what in the blazes kept every single one of his snakes from coming to
breakfast. He came upon the face off, and at first glace it looked as though
the Slytherins had ganged up on Ron, but a closer looked revealed that all the
Slytherins were on the defensive circling around Julian. He then looked to Ron
and the full foul stench hit him in the face. “Well.” He drawled “It seems that
someone has managed to make it all the way to Hogwarts without gaining control
of their more…base nature. Fifty Points from Gryffindor for polluting what used
to be perfectly good air.” He then turned his attention back to his snakes and
murmured “Twenty minutes left of breakfast.” The group needed no further
instruction and with Draco at the head closely followed by Julian they entered
the Dining Hall.
‘THAT was completely unnecessary!’ Julian snapped at Amar as they made their
way to the breakfast table. Amar sighed and shook his head ‘It was important to
make an example out of that young miscreant, after all, you would never let
someone get away with talking to Draco like that.’ Julian rolled his emerald
eyes and replied ‘Draco is different’ this was cut off by Amar’s amused
chuckles and their conversation was halted when Julian felt a tap on his
shoulder and turned to look at Draco “You’re doing it again.” He said smugly,
Julian sighed and said “Well tell Amar to stop causing problems.” Amar’s red
eyes appeared and gave Draco a challenging look. Draco merely smirked and said
“You have to tell me the spell sometime.” which ended up in all three
snickering softly.
Voldemort smiled as he watched the three interact though Professor Quirrel’s
eyes, yes this developing triad would be very good for the war effort, and it
was no burden on his part to wait and allow Julian the time he needed to
develop further. He looked around, his dark eyes silted as he landed on the
unstable headmaster; he did hope he could follow through on his promise to keep
the boy’s safe. His own childhood was tainted with sadness and misfortune, and
he would never wish it on another. He saw that glint in the headmaster’s eyes
that said he had something up his sleeve. He knew that he had not yet said
anything to the teachers and was only able to wonder at what it meant.
