Silver over Gold

Summary:

After getting their Classifications the Golden Gryffindor Trio find themselves bound to the three Silver Princes of Slytherin

Notes:

I do not own Harry Potter or any of the characters. This story is my first attempt at an age play story where the idea came out from an idea for a BTS story but as I am not comfortable in writing about real people so the story was shifted to take place in the Harry Potter Universe and use its characters.

Chapter 1: Prologue: History and Background

For as long as people could recall both Muggle and Magical when they reached the age of adulthood their body would change into one of seven, some said eight different Classifications. The Classifications were long ago labeled and most people accepted them, even the Muggles who doubted the existence of Magic. The Classifications were separated into three categories, dominants which included Alphas, Masters, and Caregivers. On the other side, there were the submissive which included Omegas, Pets, and Littles, and finally, the final category was the Neutrals.

 

Information about the Classifications

 

Alpha & Omega

One of the most prominent types of Dominants in the world at twenty-one percent of the adult population are typically bonded with Omegas who make up twenty percent of the population. At least once every other month an Omega, both male and female would go into a Heat period where for a day or two would be overcome with a desire and need to mate with their Alpha. Until they actually meet their Alpha in person an Omega will not go into a Heat Cycle. Due to focusing on nothing but sex for the entire  Heat Cycle any children or people the Mating Pair has Guardianship of must be watched over by others.  Omegas, once more both male and female, can get pregnant and were the ones most likely to produce offspring than any other Classification.

One of the main deciding factors for a person in gaining an Alpha or Omega Classification according to years of research was that one of the pair had creature blood in their bloodline. Once an Alpha and Omega were given their classification their results would also reveal to them their destined Mate. Among themselves, Alpha and Omegas usually referred to themselves as Mates and the Alpha would do their best to support their Omega even especially when said Omega was with child. When one of the Mates has no or little Creature blood in their family they are found to be Classified as an Omega.

Due to the presence of Creature Blood resulting in an Alpha/Omega, there is no non-magic using Muggle that has this Classification.  Unlike most dominants, an Alpha is not necessarily larger or more muscular than their submissive and it is not a strange sight to see an Omega who is even a head taller than their Alpha. Omegas have long been discriminated against in the working world, both Magical and Muggle, as they are expected to stay home and take care of their kids. Omega and Alpha can produce scents to detect each other as well as calm each other down.

An out-of-control Alpha can only be stopped by its Omega or said Alpha being in danger of hurting one of its offspring or a Little. Strength-wise, even if they may sometimes be shorter than other Dominants, the only one who can overpower an Alpha is a Caregiver. An Alpha and Omega have heightened senses of smell that allow them to find each other even when one is hidden by magic. During a Classification test in the Magical World, an Alpha releases a deep red glow, while an Omega has a light blue one once the glow is gone a parchment will appear listing who their Mate is.

 

Master & Pets

 

Both Master and Pets make up seventeen percent of the population. Though the gender public refers to this Classification as Master and Pet or the less kind name of Master and Slave the ones who hold this Classification just call themselves Bonded and the top and bottom. Even though the dominant of these bonded pair is called Master by other Classifications, they never take advantage or even do anything that would hurt their submissive in either physical or mental pain.

Just like an Alpha/Omega when they get their Classification their results will contain a possible person to bond with, but unlike Alpha/Omegas a Master and Pet can choose a different person to bond with. Female Pets can get pregnant through their chances of this happening are more likely when they are with their listed Master. Unlike their Omega counterparts, a Pet will have no trouble finding jobs though they are prevented from working in the same location with their Master unless they are hired as their assistant or secretary.

While not as protective as an Alpha, a Master will do everything they can to protect their Pet short of killing themselves or a Little. Years of research have determined that a Classification of a Master or Pet is akin to Alpha and Omega but without the Creature Blood. During a Magical Classification test, a Master exhibits a green glow while a pet shows an orange one before the glow vanishes the name of their Bonded will form from the aura.

 

Caregivers & Littles

 

Caregivers make up only seven percent while Littles only make up two percent of the population. All Littles are asexual no matter what age range they fall into and while Caretakers are their dominants it does not stop the Caretaker from finding someone to produce their own children with, though most prefer not to. Due to how small of the population gets Classified as Littles all other dominants and submissives do their best to protect them, but their primary support is their Caregiver.

A Caregiver can have multiple designations from their partners due to the age range of the Little but the most prominent ones used are Mommy and Daddy. A Little could range in age from one year old to fifteen years with a secondary Classification depending on what age they were. From the ages of one to four were considered babies/toddlers while ages five to ten were just considered to be kids and from eleven to fifteen were considered tweens/teens.

The Caregivers were both the largest and strongest of the dominant types so that they could easily carry and care for their Littles. Due to the rarity of Littles in the overall population, there is less research done on this type of submissive leading to more speculations about them. Some hold the opinion that a Little came into their Classification due to an extremely bad childhood which caused a Pet or Omega to change their Classification into a Little. There are some believe thanks to a belief that Lord Voldemort had been a little who had never found a Caretaker had gone insane being unable to be properly taken care of leading to new laws that as soon as a Little was Classified unattached Caregivers were gathered to see if the Little choose them.

Unlike other pairs, Littles did not have a destined partner but had to find one that worked best for them. Until a Little bonded with their Caretaker they can be watched over by almost any other Classification apart from the Neutral.   In the Magical Community as soon as a Little finds their Caretaker the first thing that they do together is go shopping for the Little's supplies. 

 

One of the first things every single Little picks out, no matter the age range, is a stuffed toy.  For some reason this first stuffed toy is an anchor point along with their Caretaker and the Little will guard it more than any item they ever receive.  Only under a Caretaker can they truly shift into their Little Space which a Little needs according to some theories, to keep their minds fully intact. Some Littles will spend most of their time in Little Space after they find their Caretaker but some can live perfectly "normal" lives and only slip at least once a month for a full twenty-four hours.

Regardless of how little or much time a Little spends in their Little Space, each Little has trigger phrases or actions that can make them regress or return to their normal mindset.  These triggers can be both negative such as meeting an abuser, or positive like finding a toy their Little side loves after they had lost it,  A male Little no matter the age range their Little Space occupies will never grow any natural facial hair.

No matter the age range a Magical Little holds once they slip they need to be watched more closely than a normal child especially when they are in the baby/toddler range due to them still having control of the Magical Cores. Except for the Tween/Teen range, Littles are forbidden from creating Potions or taking part in classes for Dark Arks, Care of Magical Creatures, or playing Quidditch just in case of slipping during them.  Surprisingly all Littles have a natural talent in performing Animagus transformation.  Once a Little has bonded to their Caregiver, the lives of the pair are joined so if one dies it will cause the other one to go into an insane rampage that will only end with the survivor's partner's death. A Caregiver's presence is enough to calm down their Little, unless of course said Little is throwing a tantrum due to the Caregiver. When taking the Classification test a Caregiver gives off a Purple glow while a Little gives off a shade of yellow the brighter the glow the younger their little space is.

 

Neutrals

 

A Neutral Classification makes up fifteen percent of the population and is neither overly dominant nor submissive and can marry with any other free Classification, except for a Little. While the Neutrals tend to call themselves "Normal" each other group of Classifications has a different name for them. They are called Betas by both Alpha and Omegas, while a Master and Pet tend to call them Switches. A Little depending on the relationship with a Neutral can call them anything from Babysitter to Aunt/Uncle. A Neutral who joins as a triad with an Alpha/Omega couple is not fully bound by an Omega's Heat.  Unlike an Alpha, they can leave during the Heat Cycle but will still try to take part in it unless they have other important business to take care of. Unfortunately, with anyone not part of their immediate family, a Neutral tends to be the one who shows the most discrimination to other Classifications. Neutrals also blocked out any research into why a person would gain a Neutral Classification. A Neutral will only glow a soft gray during a Classification test

 

Hybrids

 

The last one percent of the population is referred to as a Hybrid which is when a person shows traits from more than one Classification. While they are considered one percent of the population, only a single Hybrid will exist on the Earth at a given moment. This changes as a Hybrid reaches a certain age, as a second Hybrid can emerge and be taught how to live their lives by the elder Hybrid.  This makes it hard for any research to be taken on what causes a Hybrid to appear as no common factors have not been found between the shortlist of Hybrids that have appeared since it had been discovered. Hybrids when they take the test their body will are covered by two, or more auras showing what Classifications they possess before turning black

 

Some people combined with other Classifications to create either a triad or a clan depending on the size of the group. The only real rule in these relationships is that there is never more than one type of Classification. A triad usually forms as Neutral joins in an Alpha/Omega Mateship or a Master/Pet Bonding.  A Clan is usually formed between couples of different Classifications and is usually started by several couples wanting to help raise children or help care for a Little.

 

Events before the story take place.

 

After Voldemort had returned after the Triwizard Tournament Albus Dumbledore who had seen how badly Harry had been treated at the Dursley's house was thanks to using Harry's memory of the battle in the Graveyard was able to prove that both Voldemort and Peter Pettigrew were alive freeing Sirius from having to be on the run. Since Harry needed blood wards to protect him from Voldemort and his Death Eaters, Albus talked Sirius and Harry into Blood Adopt each other thus creating a connection between them and getting Harry away from the Dursleys for good.

As a free man, Sirius finally admitted his feelings for Remus Lupin. Due to his forced creature blood, Remus had been an Alpha but without a Mate, and with Sirius's confession as well as finding his mate in the fellow Order of the Phoenix Member, Nymphadora Tonks. Being without a Mate for so long Remus accepted both of them as they formed a triad. For Harry going from having only an abusive family to three loving semi-parents had been a shock but it led to one of the best times of his life since his parents had died all those years ago. It was also around this time that Harry became aware that as his friends and classmates began to start to date in the few years before they received their Classifications

Harry took no notice of anyone and would rather curl up against one of his new guardians and read a book. During his fifth year, Harry began to suffer from nightmares that after talking with Sirius he found were caused by his connection to Voldemort. Albus and Harry's new guardians had tried to get him to learn Occlumency but after a few lessons learned that thanks to a Horcrux connected to Harry's soul it was impossible for him to block out Voldemort. Doing some research, Albus had found a ritual where they could use the Horcrux attached to Harry to destroy any other Horcrux Voldemort had created in his life at the same time.

At the end of the year, they decided to put their plan into place as Harry walked willingly into a trap set for him in the Ministry of Magic. As the Order took on the Death Eaters, Albus and Harry confronted Voldemort. The Dark Lord tried to force Albus to kill Harry as he fully opened their connection which was just what they wanted with an ancient spell that cast a blast of energy through the connection which sought out Voldemrorts' Horcruxs and destroyed them. As Voldemort felt the missing pieces of his soul be destroyed, he pulled himself away from Harry and in a dazed state cast a dark curse. Without even thinking about it Albus leapt forward and took the brunt of the spell as the pain became too much for Voldemort leading to both men's death and Harry passing out.

 

When Harry woke up a week had passed and his fame had been doubled for his part in stopping Voldemort once and for all, all Harry wanted to do was curl up in a ball and cry for Dumbledore's sacrifice. Sirius, Remus, and Tonks had shared a look as they pulled Harry into a tight hug letting him cry his eyes out at the Headmaster's death. Each of them after watching Harry over the last summer had guessed which Classification he would get when he came of age.

 

During Harry's Sixth-Year nothing really happened with Voldemort dead and his top Death Eaters had been sent to Azkaban. Not having to worry about Voldemort showing up, Harry for once was able to be a normal student. But as Harry and his friends were having a good year the same could not be said for several students in Slytherin House as with their fathers' being found to be members of Voldemort's inner circle Theodore Nott and Draco Malfoy's positions in the school had plummeted. As two members of what was called the Three Slytherin Princes, the pair were now constantly harassed outside of any teacher's sight.

The only thing that surprised them was that the so-called Gryffindor Golden Trio did not take part in it the three actively tried to the other students to leave the pair alone. The only other ally that Theo and Draco had was the third Prince who had managed to stay clean of the rot from Voldemort's association due to his family's neutrality. However, near the end of the school year a couple of students, led by Ginny Weasley flat-out attacked all three of the Princes as she yelled that the school would be better without their lot in it.

 

As Ginny raised her wand to signal the attack the three Slytherins, Harry, Ron, and Hermione rushed forward to shield them, disarming Ginny and making the others flee. Ginny had screeched, mostly at Harry, about how could they protect baby Death Eaters. The Slytherin Princes were surprised when it was not Harry but Ron who told the girl to let it go pointing out that during the entire year as they were bullied by the other students not a single member of the Slytherin Princes had even fought back. It took Harry pointing out that Ginny was behaving more like a Death Eater than they were which caused the redhead to run away screaming that trusting the Slytherins was going to get them into trouble one day. Ron had just shaken his head at his sister's retreating back as the Golden Trio made sure that Draco and the others had not been hurt. From that day grudging respect grew between the two groups which even had them sharing the same train car during the ride home for the summer.

 

Due to a person's Classification taking part of a student's seventh year in the books, a student would need all Seventh-Year students to be told to come to Hogwarts with their parents or guardians one at a time over the summer for testing. On the day of his own test, Harry had shown up with Sirius alone as Tonks had gone into a Heat cycle meaning she and Remus were busy. The pair walked to the Hospital Wing where Harry was tested under the watchful eyes of not only Madam Pomfrey but Professors McGonagall, Sprout, Flitwick, and Snape.

As Harry drank the Classification potion a wave of magic washed over him changing color a couple of minutes before turning yellow of middle intensity showing his Little Space fell somewhere between five and ten years old. As the others moved forward to congratulate him, Harry fell to his knees with his hands held protectively over his head as the words of the Dursleys zoomed through his mind. "Littles are freaks even more than you. All Littles should be rounded up and shot. Littles what the point of them, nasty people who should not be around normal people." Unknown to Harry, without even finding a Caregiver he had slipped into his headspace as he rocked back and forth calling for his Papa.

The others in the room looked shocked as Madam Pomfrey rushed to her office to find the records of the other students already tested to find out if a Caregiver had been found so that they could bring them into comfort, Harry. Finding that three students were classified as Caregivers she rushed off to bring them in, while the others tried to comfort Harry, who was now rocking back and forth on the floor curled into a ball not even seeming to notice the others. A few minutes later Madam Pomfrey came out of her office followed by the three students who were Caregivers. Sensing them Harry finally stopped rocking back and forth but his tears continued to fall like streams from his eyes.

 

"Hush little one everything is going to be alright," Padma Patil said only a little shocked to see the identity of the Little. However, as she began to approach him to comfort him. Harry took off one of his shoes and threw it at her. Seeing this as Harry not accepting the fellow Caretaker Susan Bones tries to calm Harry down by singing a lullaby. She was only able to get out a few words before Harry's magic sent her flying across the room and into the wall where she collapsed into a heap on the floor. The last of the Caretakers gulped having seen what had happened to the other two but he squared his shoulders and moved forward.

"Come now little on,e what is the matter," Micheal Corner asked only for Harry to growl at him as he stamped on the Ravenclaw Caretakes's foot with enough force it actually broke one of his toes. As Micheal hopped away in pain, Harry curled back into a ball the short-lived calm ending as he went back to rocking himself on the floor.

Pomfrey was about to bring out the list from last year to see if there had been any Caretakers that had already left Hogwarts who still did not have a Little to take care of when the door to the Hospital Wing opened and the next person who was scheduled for testing walked in. The student stopped in place as did his mother as they took in the scene before them. Blaise seeing Harry curled up on the ground moves forward and to the shock of everyone pulls Harry into his lap and begins to rock the other boy gently in his arms. "What is wrong Harry?" the tall dark-skinned boy asked as Harry's sobs began to subside thanks to Blaise's rocking.

 

"I am a fweak just like they always said," Harry said in a small voice.

"You are not a freak Harry whoever told you that could not be more wrong," Blaise said a little sternly as without thinking bent down and kissed Harry on his forehead.

At the kiss, all traces of Harry's tears vanish as he lays his head on the other boy's shoulder with a content sigh of "Papa." As Harry seemed to fall asleep, Madam Pomfrey just to be sure had Blaise drink the Classification Potion, and to no one's surprise, it showed the Italian boy was a Caregiver.

 

Side Character Information: As this story will be focusing on Little Harry, Papa Blaise, as well as the other members of the Golden Trio and Silver Princes I am going to put down some information about side characters that may appear in the story such as what their classification is as well as who they are attached to and possibly some background information about them.

 

Albus Dumbledore: A Master who had been forced to battle his Pet, Gellert Grindelwald, which led him to a position of power that he felt he did not deserve. Albus had moved to create a law for finding a Caregiver for newly presented Littles after seeing Tom Riddle's fall to becoming Lord Voldemort.

 

Tom Riddle/Voldemort: A Little who had never found a Caregiver and thus had never been able to deal with the harshness of life by finding his Little Space. Led two wars against Magical Great Britain only to be stopped both times by fellow Little Harry Potter.

 

Minerva McGonagall: A Pet bond to her Master Pomona Sprout and Current Headmistress of Hogwarts. She has to keep secret her Classification from the Ministry to achieve her rank in the school, thanks to both Albus turning a blind eye and the gentle nature of her Master.

 

Pomona Sprout: A Master who is bonded to Minerva McGonagall one of the most caring Professors at Hogwarts she prefers to let people do their own thing and has no issue with working for her own Pet.

 

Filius Flitwick: A rare creature-blooded Caregiver. He has yet to find a Little but has adopted all the students of Hogwarts as his own. As a world-renowned Duelist and his views of the students, he is Hogwarts greatest protection if an enemy were to breach the school's Wards.

 

Severus Snape: An Alpha who had been mated to Regulus Black before he died. It was Regulus's death coupled with Voldemort going after his old school friend Lily that made this former Death Eater into Harry's secret protector.

 

Poppy Pomfrey: A Neutral who cares more about the students of Hogwart's health than anything else.

 

Sirius Black: Though he was raised in a family of almost all Neutrals who hated any other Classification, Sirius who was also a Neutral never gave into that line of thought he is bonded to Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks. Is Harry's Guardian.

 

Remus Lupin: An Alpha due to being bitten by a werewolf in his youth he was shocked when he did not receive a parchment with his Mate's name on it when he presented. It was not until years later when he first met Nymphadora Tonks during a meeting of the Order of the Phoenix that he found his Mate when she approached him. He is currently Mated to both her and Sirius Black with Harry as his adopted son.

 

Nymphadora Tonks: An Omega who had not presented until recently since when the parchment listing her Mate appeared neither she nor her parents had recognized the name. It was only recently that she had met her Alpha and had bonded with him as well as Sirius Black to form a triad with Harry Potter as their charge.

 

Arthur Weasley: An Alpha Mated to Molly Weasley nee Prewett he is one of the few with creature blood in his family left due to dilution of it.

 

Molly Weasley: An Omega Mated to Arthur Weasley is a stereotypical Omega who does not mind staying at home and taking care of her family she was shocked when she had been Classified as an Omega as there is not a drop of creature blood in the Prewett line.

 

Bill Weasley: An Omega Mated to Fleur Delacour it was only in the last two years since he had met his Alpha and presented.

 

Fleur Delacour: An Alpha thanks to her the Veela blood of her line she is Mated to Bill Weasely and is in the process of getting him to agree to take her name.

 

Charlie Weasley: A Master who has yet to find his pet

 

Percy Weasley: the only Neutral in the family is currently courting the Master/Pet couple of Oliver Wood and Marcus Flint

 

Fred Weasley: A Little in the age range of tweens/teens loves to pull pranks. His Caretaker is his twin brother. When he is not in his Little Space he and George run a joke shop.

 

George Weasley: Fred's Caretaker helps plan and pull off the pranks with him as well as own a business together.  The only real difference in the Twins relationship after getting Classified was that George took over the leadership role from his older brother.

 

Mr. and Mrs. Granger: Are Hermione's Muggle parents and are both understanding Neutrals.

 

Lucius Malfoy: A Master who was a willing supporter of Voldemort now in Azkaban for life.

 

Narcissa Malfoy: A Pet who had been bound to someone else before Lucius killed him and forced her to bond with him under threat to her baby son, Draco. She has yet to reveal to Draco the fact that Lucius was not his father.

 

Adriana Zabini: A Master whose bonded partners would mysteriously die. It had taken a couple of years before she realized that their deaths were caused by a foreign House Elf working for someone who was trying to claim her as their own. Thanks to her son being Harry's caretaker she is partially his grandmother.

Notes:

So it seems I have picked up a troll on my stories, so I am going to explain a few things. First, all troll comments will be deleted without a single second of thought. Two I tag very clearly my couple and usually who is the top and who is the bottom in the relationship, I prefer a bottom Harry, so if you do not like it do not read it. Also since the troll has assumed my gender I will reveal I am a Cis-male who is a Homoromantic-Asexual.

Chapter 2: A Trip to Diagon Alley

Summary:

Harry experiences, what to him, is his first-ever shopping spree all for him, as he meets his friends.

Notes:

Sorry, I have read too many Non-Sexual Age play stories where the person is in a young space that requires them to wear diapers or pull up and I think that is skipping over some of the people who have older spaces. Also, that way Harry can communicate with his Papa in more than happy noises or crying. Also decided to add a slight speech impediment where his "r" comes out as "w"

Harry felt more content than he had ever felt before as he sat on his new Papa's lap and leaned his head against his shoulder. Blaise for his part could not stop a soft smile from leaving his face as he slowly rocked Harry in his arms. The moment ended too soon for the new pair as Headmistress McGonagall softly clapped her hands together to make the pair look up at her from their spot on the floor. "Well Mr. Zabini," she began.

"Not Misew, Papa," Harry corrected her without even lifting his head from Papa's shoulder.

McGonagall gave the new Little an indulgent smile as she continued "Alright Harry, well Papa Zabini you know have a very important job to do today." Harry looked up at the tone and saw the older Witch giving him an even sterner look than usual; that is until she saw him looking wherein she smiled at him and even stuck out her tongue making him giggle. "In Diagonal Alley there is a special shop for all newly classified people and while the rest can visit it within the first month of getting their Classification done.  A Caregiver must take their Little, right away to get them all the necessary supplies. And as you are newly classified yourself you shall be accompanied by both Harry's Guardian as well as your own," she states looking over at Blaise's mother who was a rather busy woman and had only scheduled time to accompany her son for his test.  "Though we might find an alternate if your Guardian can not make it."

 

"That would be most helpful," Adriana giving Minerva a slight bow. "Might I suggest Severus since he is normally a stand-in while Blaise is here at Hogwarts?"

"What do you say, Severus?" Minerva asked leaning a little into Pomona in case the Potion Master caused a scene due to his still intense hatred of James.

"If I must," Severus said in a drawing voice not wanting the others to know that he actually found how Harry was acting quite cute.

"That is settled then, the four of you can use my Floo since it looks like Harry is old enough," Madam Pomfrey said with a smile as Severus and Sirius helped Blaise to his feet. As he stood up, Harry shifted his body to hug his Papa like a koala with one of Blaise's hands cupped under him to keep him secure.

 

"One of the advantages of having a Little be Magical," Blaise thought to himself "is that they could recall forms of Magical transport." Meaning Harry did not freak out as the group approached the flames of the fireplace to travel to the Magical shopping district. Harry did end up wrapping his arms and legs tighter around his Papa as they traveled together, however.  Not that Blaise minded as he rubbed a comforting hand down his Little's back. Once they arrived in a side room of the Leaky Cauldron it took the group a moment to get Harry down and just hold Blaise's hand. Harry almost cried as he thought he had done something wrong and that his Papa was trying to get rid of him already.

But Blaise informed him in a soft voice that they all knew Harry was not one for the spotlight and his big self would not want to share the information that he was Little with everyone. Surprisingly it was Snape who really helped as he told Harry it was like a game where you did not want strangers to know about you so you pretended to act like they were. Sirius gaped in shock as Harry accepted the "game" as he got down still holding his Papa's hand tightly and reached over to take hold of as he called it Uncle Padfoot's hand. Severus cast a Notice-Me-Not charm on Harry, who giggled as he felt the water-like effects of the spell before the group left the room they had Flooed into.

 

As a Magical Protection from a small portion of the Neutral population who showed hatred geared towards the other Classifications the store they were looking for could only be found by a submissive for their first visit. As soon as they walked into the Alley, Harry stopped and looked around in childlike wonder before Papa gently squeezed his hand making him recall the game as he led the group down a side street and then another and even a dead end. When he reached the dead-end, Harry walked right at the wall pulling Papa and Uncle Padfoot along while behind them Severus hid a smile knowing what was to come next. Just like the barrier to reach Platform 9 3/4, Harry walked through the wall and stopped before a huge storefront for a place called Classy's which according to their signage had everything a Little, Omega, and Pet could want with gifts for their Dominants. Blaise had to tighten his grip on Harry's hand who seeing the story tried to run forward. "Slow down, Harry, it is not going anywhere," Blaise said with a slight laugh at the pout on his Little's face. Harry gave him a quick nod as he slowed down to match his Papa's pace as they entered the store.

"Now as a Little visiting for the first time," Severus said reading one of the notices on the front door "Harry can claim three toys free of charge."

 

Harry's face broke into a huge grin three toys he must have won the lottery or something more than he had ever had at the Dursleys. The grin slid off his face as soon as he thought of the Dursleys and thought about how much of a freak he must be for being a little. "And you are now out in public as a Little, what if Rita Skeeta showed up and found you then everyone would know what a freak you are, and then Papa would leave you," a small nasty voice said in his mind. Harry let out a soft whimper as he let go of Blaise and Sirius's hands and clapped them over his head to hopefully drown out the mean voice.

"It is alright Harry," Blaise said pulling him into a tight hug "Papa is here, I will not let anyone hurt you."

"You might want to get him to the toy section right away that usually helps during a Little's first visit," a sales clerk said who had come over to greet them. She then turned around and with a smile led the group into the store turning left at an intersection and shortly got them to an aisle lined from floor to ceiling with every type of toy imaginable both Muggle and Magical. Seeing it Harry dropped his hands, as well as his mouth at all of it.

"Would you like help to pick out your toys Harry or do you want to do it yourself?" Blaise asked retaking Harry's hand.

"I think I need help Papa, I nevew had a toy befowe beside Cousin Dudley's bwoken toy solidew I stolled," Harry said before his face fell wondering if he would be punished for stolling something.

"That is stole, Harry," Papa said with a soft smile as he led Harry down the aisle to help him pick out a toy. Severus and Sirius turned to the clerk to ask about other items they would need for a new Little.

 

As they moved down the fairly empty aisle due to both the time of day as well as the rarity for a Little Classification, Harry let out a gasp and pulled Blaise over to a display of stuffed animals. "Look at the kitty, Papa, he looks so cute can I have him?" Harry said bouncing on his heels as he pointed to a stuffed cat that had orange coloring on its top and a white belly.

"Of course Harry," Papa said as he reached and pulled the cat down placing it in Harry's hands who immediately started to hug it.

"Hello thewe Sammy," Harry said kissing the stuffed cat on his patterned nose.

"So his name is Sammy?" Blaise asked smiling at seeing Harry hug the toy as if he wanted to make sure no one took it from him.

"Of couwse his name is Sammy, Papa," Harry said letting out a giggle at his Papa's silliness.

 

"Well then hello Sammy I am Harry's Papa," Blaise said shaking one of the tiny paws attached to the toy and making Harry give him a beaming smile. "So do you think Sammy would like another friend?" Blaise said gesturing to the wall of stuffed animals.

"Would you, Sammy?" Harry said looking down at the cat.

"Nope, I am happy with just the two of us for now," Harry heard Sammy say

 

"Sammy said he is happy with just it being the two of us fow now," Harry said knowing somehow that Papa and others would be unable to understand him. Papa nodded at the information as he wrapped an arm around Harry's elbow so that Harry could still hold onto Sammy with both hands. and lead him further down the aisle. By the time the pair had returned to Severus and Sirius Harry had also chosen a coloring book, with a thirty-two color box of crayons, as well as a set of Magical games that were like the Muggle games of Battleship and Guess Who.

After Harry had introduced Sammy to both Uncle Padfoot and Uncle Sev, something that shocked the Potion Master speechless, the group headed out to the clothing section. Harry was once more in shock as he took in all the clothing for having always worn either Dudley's hand-me-downs or Robes to see what passed on Magical Kid's clothing was a bit much. He first just decided to pick out some plain shirts and pants that looked comfy, but Blaise, Sirius, and Severus would have none of it as they pulled down clothing for him to try on until he was almost forced to the floor under their weight of them all. With a chuckle, Blaise helped Harry into the changing room so he could test out how the clothes felt to him.

He was glad he did for the simple clothes he had picked up felt scratching and uncomfortable when he put them on. Harry found that for some reason the best clothing had either cartoon or superhero characters on them. By the time they left the clothing section, Harry had at least seventeen new shirts, ten pairs of shorts, nine pairs of pants, and a couple of packages of Disney character underwear. Harry had chided his Papa when Blaise tossed the Underwear on top of the pile of clothing.  Harry pointed out that undies should not be shown to girls.

Everyone let out a disguised laugh as Harry snatched the undies off the top and buried them in the picked-out clothing. Sending the pile of clothes to the front with the rest of their order so far, apart from Sammy, the group heads out for other supplies a new Little might need. As Harry's Little Space was not in the youngest group they passed over diapers, pull-ups, and sippy cups as they moved on to cartoon-themed cups and plates. Due to there not being many pieces of plates and silverware for Littles they were placed beside the other utensils from the other Classifications leading to a fuller aisle.

 

"Hey Blaise, what are you doing here?" a voice called out as Harry looked over some plates with some superhero he did not recognize that had the name Bigglsewent the Snappy Muggle Hider, according to the label on the plate. Looking up Harry moved closer to his Papa as he recognized Draco Malfoy and Theodore Nott approaching them.

"Yeah, I thought you were just getting tested today, there is no way you should be here so soon," Theo said before he recognized the person holding onto his friend. "Harry?"

"It is alright, Harry, they will not hurt you," Blaise whispered into his ear when he felt Harry tense up beside him.

"Hello," Harry said softly looking down and shuffling his right foot onto the floor making Theo and Draco's mouths fall open in shock as they looked up at Blaise and mouthed the word "Little" and received a nod of confirmation.

"Hello Harry I must say that is a nice-looking cat," Draco said getting the Little's attention.

 

"His name is Sammy," Harry said looking up with a smile almost making the Slytherin Ice Prince's heart melt.

"Well hello, Sammy nice to meet you, I am Theodore Nott," the Slytherin Fire Prince said shaking the stuffed cat's paw and making Harry giggle as he turned to Draco who after a quick nudge from Theo followed suit.

"So what are you two doing here? Blaise asked the pair.

"We came with our partners for our first trip and they have gone off ahead," Draco said as the three begin to talk about the results of their test. Harry found the conversation rather boring and went back to looking at the set of plates. Without thinking, Blaise let go of Harry's hand as he talked with his old friends and with Sirius and Severus once more talking to the clerk none of them noticed as Harry walked away to look at the plates. Before long Harry looked up and saw he was alone making his bottom lip quiver while in the back of his mind, he knew he should remain strong and that Papa would find him soon.

 

"Harry, it has been too long," a voice cried out as Harry found himself almost tackled to the ground and his vision blocked by a bush of brown hair.

"Hewmione," he gasped out "you huwting Sammy."

"Sammy, who is that?" Hermione asked pulling away from the hug worried that she had hurt some new pet of her friend. She had not expected what she saw as she pulled away and saw a stuffed orange and white cat held protectively in her friend's hands.

"This is Sammy, Hewmione, he says hi," Harry said holding out the cat and smiling as with a bemused look Hermione shook its paw.

"Harry mate, how have you been?" Ron asked coming over and moving to clap a hand onto Harry's back only for Hermione to stop it and shoot him a look as she nodded to the stuffed toy in their friend's hands.

"Wonny," Harry said turning to the redhead throwing his arms around the taller boy and tightly hugging him.

With Harry's head pressed into his chest, Ron shot Hermione a look as he mouthed "Why is it he can say your name almost perfectly but called me Ronny?" Hermione had to place a hand over her mouth to stop her laughter.

 

"Well, well, what do we have here a couple of unattended submissives to play with?" a voice said as Crabbe and Goyle walked around the corner and found the Golden Trio.

"Hello," Harry said recalling his Papa's words that he did not have to worry about the members of Slytherin House as he held out Sammy for the pair to meet,

"Get that thing out of my face," Crabbe growled as he smacked Sammy out of Harry's hands. Harry looked horrified as he bent to pick up Sammy and make sure he was okay as Ron and Hermione moved to block the Little from the pair.

"Get lost," Ron said clenching his fist and getting ready to defend his friends.

"Yeah, I don't think so Weasel," the new Master said as he and his pet advanced on the group.

 

"What is going on here?" a cold voice said from behind the Golden Trio.

"Ah Draco have you come along to have some fun with us," Goyle asked seeing the blonde,

"GET AWAY FROM MY OMEGA!," Draco shouted as he rushed forward followed by Theo. To the two Slytherin boys' shock, Draco moved to stand before Ron while Theo moved to block Hermione from them.

"WHAT DID YOU TWO DO?" Blaise thundered seeing Harry on the ground. Both boys gulped in fear as Blaise pushed past the others and easily lifted both hulking boys off their feet and held them aloft.

"Blase what?" Crabbe choked out.

 

"Did you hurt, Harry?" Blaise asked returning to his normally low and soft voice which scared Crabbe and Goyle making them utterly speechless.

"Papa I am fine but he huwted Sammy," Harry said from the floor still making sure Sammy was alright.

'What kind of people pick on a Little, you both disgust me," Blaise said as he threw the pair out of the aisle and into a display case filled with stuffed animals. Blaise then knelt and waved his hand over Sammy silently casting a glowing charm on his hand. "There Sammy should be all better," Blaise said ruffling his Little's hair.

"Thanks, Papa," Harry said as he hugged his Papa with Sammy squished between them. Meanwhile, Draco was sniffing Ron to make sure his Omega had not been hurt while Theo was hugging Hermione possessively.

 

'Well, that is an unexpected sight don't tell me all three Slytherin Princes ended up being bonded to the Golden Trio," Severus said as he, Sirius, and the Sales clerk came to run over to check on the noise caused by Crabbe and Goyle flying into the case.

"It seems like it," Draco said having finished checking Ron out as he circled his Omega in his arms.

"Yeah funny how things work out," Theo said placing his chin on his Pet's shoulder.

"You think you are shocked to try to get used to the thought of being mated to this git," Ron said though with no hint of annoyance about who his Mate was.

Mated" Harry asked tilting his head in confusion since his Little Space not recognizing the word.

"Language, Ronald," Draco warned "Little ears are present."

 

"He means his Best Friend Forever," Blaise said putting it into terms that would not confuse the Little without having to do with the concept of dealing with marriage.

"Ah," Harry said nodding his understanding before looking at Ron, "that is no way to tweat your BBF Wonny." Draco and Hermione had to bite their bottom lips to see the Omega being told off by the Little.

"Oh come on give me a break Harry," Ron said bringing his hands together to plead to his friend.

"Apologies to Uncle Dway," Harry said shaking a finger at Ron causing Draco to start at being called Uncle by the Little

"Fine I am sorry, Draco," Ron said quickly with a slight blush making Harry claps his hands in joy.

"Yeah we are all fwiends again," Harry said making everyone chuckle.

 

"Man Littles are so cute, I just want to eat the little darling up," the sales clerk said as she wiped a tear from her eyes from laughing at the scene before her.

"Can we go eat now?" Harry asked hearing the word "eat"

"As soon as we pay for everything Harry," Blaise said making Harry clap his hands again.

"Good, I want McDonald's," Harry said.

"McDonald's?" Blaise asked confused looking at Hermione.

 

"A Muggle fast food place that has a meal specifically made for both kids and Littles,' Hermione explained.

"Very well since it is a special day," Blaise said as he planned to ask Hermione for both directions and some Muggle Money for the meal when Harry was distracted.

"Can Uncles Dway, Sev, Padfoot, Theo, Wonny, and Aunt Hewmione come too?" Harry asked giving his Papa some puppy dog eyes.

"Seriously why I am Ronny?" Ron quietly asked his Alpha.

"Hey, you are not the only one, or did you miss the Dray?" Draco responded just as softly.

 

"I guess that is up to them, Harry," Blaise said lifting Harry back up to his feet. Harry turned his puppy dog eyes on the others making Draco recoil a little before he like the others accepted. Harry shouted joy as he pulled Blaise to the front of the store to pay for their purchases so they could go to eat. As Classifications also took place in the Muggle World, they did not attempt to hide their roles as Hermione led the group that now consisted of Draco's Mother as well as Mr. and Mrs. Weasley joined them.

As the group of Witches and Wizards looked up at the menu Hermione, with Blaise's permission, took Harry up to order their meals first. As Harry and Hermione waited not only for their food to arrive but for the others to order the meal the doors to the place banged open and in walked in a giant whale of a man followed by a horse face woman and a chubby young male that was thicker than he was tall.

"Well there goes our plans for a pleasant meal," the man said as he laid eyes on Harry who flinched and hugged Sammy closer to himself.

"Look Dad, the Freak has gotten even freakier he is a Little," the younger male said as he saw the stuffed cat in Harry's hands.

Chapter 3: Dursleys to Go

Summary:

Nothing like getting a take-out at McDonalds, unless it is you who gets taken out, just ask the Dursleys.

Notes:

Yeah, so there some racist language because the Dursleys suck, sorry.

As Vernon and Dudley approached Harry and Hermione, they did not pay attention to the large group of people who were suddenly glaring at the pair. As Petunia went to follow her husband and son a familiar voice called out making the Neutral Muggle woman stop in her tracks. "Well hello, Tuna Fish, we need to have a word." The horse face woman ground her teeth at the old childhood nickname as she turned to face Severus Snape and to her utter horror right beside him was the former prisoner Sirius Black, not to mention the redheaded man who had utterly destroyed their living room the last time she had seen her nephew.

"What do you want, Sev?" she bit out.

"Just a word of advice, Tuna Fish, you do recall how quickly the Bonds formed between dominants and submissive happen in our world compared to yours, do you not?" he asked making Petunia recall how as soon as her sister received her Classification she had come home to introduce her new Pet Bondmate, James Potter, to their folks. Lily had explained that unlike in the Normal world where a person would just get their new Classification in her freak world, their results included the name of their partner. This means her freak of a nephew's partner would be here and her family was in danger.

"Um Vernon,' she called but as usual when dealing with the boy, he did not pay attention to her. What was worse was her son seemed to have taken an interest in the black girl standing with Harry which based on some of her clothing marked her as a Pet.

 

"You know for a Speakchucker you are not half bad-looking," Dudley said to Hermione making her shudder as he reached for her knowing that without magic she could not overpower him based on his massive bulk.

"I see, I did not beat you enough to get any part of your freakishness out," Vernon said as he reached over to take the stuffed cat from the boy's hands. With his hand mere inches from the toy, a hand wrapped around his making him look up at the person holding his wrist. Vernon let out a growl of anger how dare this young Spearchucker touch him. "Get your dirty hands off me this is a family matter, you fucking negro," Vernon said through gritted teeth.

"You think you have the right to touch my Harry, think again," Blaise said as he easily pulled Vernon's arm away from his Little. Now Vernon was not the fighter that his son Dudley was, but he knew how to throw his considerable weight around both literally and figuratively and he knew he could take this upstart down.

"I told you to get your hands off me, or do you not understand your betters," Vernon said.

"My betters? You? Don't make me laugh, you don't even deserve to be in the same city as Harry or myself," Blaise said as he easily pulled Vernon's arm, forced it into the middle of his back, and turned him back towards the front door.

 

Meanwhile, Dudley licked his lips as he took in the black girl in front of him, "Why are you wasting your time with a Little freak like Harry, you need a real man such as myself."

"I have a real man in my life," Hermione said trying to move over to help Harry only for Dudley's hand to snap out and grab her elbow.

"Now don't be that, I am offering you a great prize.  After all, I would not normally go for one of your lot," Dudley said as he used his grip on her elbow to pull her into a kiss.

"LET HER GO," a voice growled from behind him making Dudley gulp as without thinking he released the hold he had on the black girl's elbow. Seeing the look of delight on the girl's face he guessed the person behind him was her boyfriend or something. He would show her that despite his size he was the top boxer in England for his age group and wipe the floor with this "hero." It would be easier than he thought as he turned around and found a tall yet thin pale white boy. "You have no right to touch her," the boy said making Dudley smirk as he balled the hand that his bulk was blocking from the other boy's view before he sent it into land a fast blow to the boy's midsection. Which was only spoiled by the boy moving even quicker out of the way before his hand shot up and grabbed the collar of Dudley's shirt. "I had heard tales of how badly Harry's actual family was before, but I had always assumed they were being exaggerated," the boy said using his free hand to block Dudley's hands as they tried to get free.

 

"Let go of me you freak," Dudley said realizing that if the boy heard stories of Harry's family that meant he had to go to that freak school that Harry went to.

"Who exactly are you calling a freak, I am well within my rights, right now to kill you if I want," Theo said without a hint of lying.

"Why cause I made moves on your Spearchuker girlfriend, as if," Dudley said with a forced laugh.

"Now I may not know what that means, but I can tell by Hermione's face it was bad.  Not that I would expect anything less after I heard you go after an innocent Little. And I could for Hermione is my submissive and I am her dominant," Theo said causing Dudley to gulp in fear as he knew the boy was not lying now which also explained how he was able to easily overpower Dudley for even he knew a dominant strength would increase when they were protecting their submissive. "On the way here, Hermione was telling me about this type of restaurant and about how you can quickly get your food to go, well I think it is time for you to leave," Theo said with a twist of his body tossed Dudley over his shoulder and sending him out the door, which Ron was holding open. As Dudley was being tossed out his father found himself being walked out by Blaise who as soon as they reached the door shifted his grip on the whale of a man to grab him by the collar of his shirt and his straining belt before he tossed the man out like so much useless garbage. Turning around Blaise clapped his hands as if getting dirt off them before he rushed over to make sure Harry was okay.

 

"If you or your family comes near Harry again, I will not be so nice," Blaise said as the horse face woman rushed out to ensure the two fat Muggle Bastards were alright. "It is okay, Harry, they are gone now," Blaise said reaching Harry and pulling him into a tight hug.

"Papa, no think I am a fweak?" Harry asked seeming to have fallen to the youngest age of his range.

"No Harry, I know you are perfect just the way you are they are the freaks," Blaise said seeing Harry wince at the word making him guess that he had just found a trigger for Harry and making a vow to himself never to use the word again. "Is Sammy okay?" he asked hoping to distract Harry who turned to look down at his cat.

"He say he fine, Papa, still hungwy though," Harry said making Blaise laugh before kissing Harry's forehead. When Blaise turned to get Harry his food, the worker behind the counter told him that both Hermione and Harry's meals had been refunded and the pair would eat for free. He explained, as he handed Blaise back the strange Muggle Money, that it was standard policy for anyone who had received discrimination on-site due to their Classification. Blase thanked him as he took the two meals and handed them to Harry and Hermione.

 

Blaise could not hold in a coo as he watched Harry's eyes light up seeing the McDonald's Little Meal box and quickly snatched it from the tray to pull it open. Ignoring the food for the moment, Harry reached in only to pull out a small item in plastic wrap. Ripping it open Blaise saw the item appear to be a cheap plastic toy making him look to Hermione who nodded at a display. It seems that this Muggle fast food place had toys in their Kids and Littles' Meals and this month they were bath toys from a new movie called Muppet Treasure Island. Blaise was happy to see that Harry was back to being happy again with the events with the Muggles who he had the misfortune of being related to utterly forgotten as he dunked his fries in ketchup and took a sip of his chocolate milk. Seeing that Harry was happy and was being watched over by Hermione, Blaise returned to place his order with the others.

 

"You know that food was not half bad," Draco said as the group left the restaurant a while later.

"It was nice to see the mighty Draco slumming it," Ron teased as the pair walked arm in arm.

"Quite you," Draco said with a teasing tone as he kissed his Omega's cheek.

"Well this has been fun, but I must get back to the school, I took too long at it is with you lot," Professor Snape said as he ruffled his Godson's hair making the Alpha glare at him.

"Bye-bye Uncle," Harry said once more shocking the Potion Master not only with the new title but also the fact that the Little was giving him a tight hug.

"Um bye, sprout," Snape said a little awkwardly as he patted Harry's back and took note of Harry's face falling at the nickname putting it away to ask Harry about it when he was out of his Little Space.

 

As soon as Snape left Apparating without even having to rush down an empty alley due to how large the group was, they fell into a discussion on what to do next. While Blaise would like to head home and start to move Harry in, he knew his mother would not be there and she would literally kill him if he exuded her from helping. The problem of what to do next was solved by none other than Molly Weasley. "If I am not being too forward, I would be honored if you all came over," she said. "I know Fred would like to meet Little Harry since he has never met another Little like himself." Hearing about another Little, Harry had clapped his hands and gave Blaise some puppy dog eyes as he held up Sammy.

"Please, Papa, can we go?" Harry begged.

"Of course Harry, I know you consider the Weasleys your family as much as Sirius, Professor Lupin, and his Mate, I think it is only fair I shall meet them," Blaise said.

Notes:

Sorry for the short chapter I had some family issues along with my job to deal with, but hey next chapter Little Harry meets Little Fred so there's that.

Chapter 4: Playdates and Tantrums

Summary:

Harry meets a fellow Little and receives his Hogwarts letter.

Once everyone had traveled to the Burrow, Molly had led Harry and Blaise away from the others. "Now Fred and George are home at the moment let's give them a big surprise," Molly said giving Harry a wink and making the Little giggle. Molly was overjoyed that Harry had turned out to be a Little, even though her family was normal-sized by Alpha/Omega standards, she had always wanted more kids, but during her last pregnancy at the height of the first war against Voldemort when her brothers had died, Molly had gone into premature labor almost losing Ginny.

While Ginny had been saved, the Healers told her that she would never be able to have any more children something that broke her heart. Meeting Harry during his first train ride to Hogwarts and seeing him alone in her mind she had adopted the young way too small boy. She had been happy when one of her kids had been classified as a Little thinking she could baby someone again only for Fred to be shown to be in the oldest age range of Littles, she still loved him but had been disappointed. But now, here was Harry who while in the mid-age range for Littles, could let her be a grandmother for the boy if he accepted her. Molly smiled at Harry placing a finger to her lips in a signal of silence as she made exaggerated movements to sneak up the stairs followed by Harry who was holding a hand to his mouth to stop his happy giggles and Blaise who was giving them fond looks. Reaching the third floor where George and Fred's rooms were, she motioned for Harry to stand behind Blaise blocking him from view as she knocked on the door. "Boys are you brewing in there, we have some guests who would like to meet you."

 

Inside the room, George called back, "We are, just give us a minute to get to a stopping place."

"Wonder what she wants," Fred said.

"Well I know she and Dad took Ron and Hermione with those Slytherin dominants of theirs to Classy's, maybe they meet Harry," George said. "Wait she wanted to know if we were brewing you don't think..."

"Harry is a caregiver with a Little," Fred said almost slipping into his Little Space at the thought of meeting another Little. Seeing that Fred was on the verge of slipping, George took over with the potions so his Little did not get hurt before they both turned to the door and opened it up. But rather than Harry standing beside their mother, there was a tall black boy.

"Boys I would like you to meet Blaise Zabini a Caretaker and."

"Mom you have not been listening to Ginny have you, I am good with George as my Caretaker I do not care that he is my brother. I do not need to look for someone else," Fred said.

 

"What?" Molly asked confused but before she could ask for more details there was a loud sniffle as Harry ran away misunderstanding and thinking they wanted his Papa,

"Harry," Blaise said glaring at the twins before he rushed after his distressed Little.

"I hope you are happy with yourself, Harry was feeling excited to meet you as a Little with his Papa.  We will talk about what brought this on later, you will both make it up to him," Molly said as she rushed after Blaise and Harry.

"Well fuck," Fred said having slipped during the events.

"Language," George said automatically. "We need to make it up to Harry."

"I know, I can introduce him to Bingo Ate Bananas," Fred said as he rushed to his bed to pick up the first toy he had ever gotten as a Little a small white teddy bear with red paw pads and large black eyes.

 

As Harry, Blaise, and his mother had gone to see the twins, Ron was lying on one of the loveseats in the cozy living room as his Alpha tried once more to tame his wild red hair while Hermione sat on Theo's lap in a nearby chair. Suddenly a dark-clothed blur rushed into the room and jumped onto Ron's stomach making him gasp in pain. Realizing the blur was Harry, Ron wrapped his arms around his best friend and asked, "Everything okay Harry?"

"Youw doddy-headed brothews want to stole my Papa," Harry said with twins lines of tears running down his face as buried his face into Ron's chest.

"I don't think they would do that, Harry," Draco said gently running his fingers through the crying boy's hair.

"And even if they did, you are the only one for me, Harry," Blaise said entering the room and coming over and kneeling beside the loveseat to rub Harry's back.

"You pwomis?" Harry said looking up.

"I do Harry, you are perfect I will never leave you," Blaise said using his wand to create a handkerchief and using it to wipe the tears and snot off Harry's face.

 

"We are sorry Harry, we were in no way after your Papa, Georgie is the only person I need," Fred said walking hesitantly to the only other Little he had even having shifted to the youngest he could achieve.  He could not help blanching at the looks on everyone else's faces making him want to hide behind Georgie, but he needed to be strong for this. "We thought mum had listened to Gin, and had looked for a different Caregiver for me.  For as she said being bonded to your own brother is unnatural," Fred said and heard Ron, and his parents gasp in shock having never heard Ginny say anything like that.

"You do not want to take my Papa?" Harry asked sitting up on top of Ron's chest.

"I do not, I am sure he is a good Papa, but not for me. If you do not believe me, maybe Bingo Ate Bananas will convince you," Fred said pulling his bear behind his back and holding him before the other little.

"Hello, Mr. Harry, Fred is not lying he loves his Georgie," Harry hears the white teddy bear say making him smile.

"Okay we are fwiends again," Harry said getting off Ron and rushing to hug the other little before he shook Bingo Ate Bananas's paw.

 

"If you do not mind me asking," Blaise said standing up and tilting his head towards the other Caretaker to have a whispered conversation.

"What's up?" George whispered back as Harry introduced Sammy to Fred.

"What is with that name?" Blaise shot back making sure neither Little could hear as the names of their stuffed friends were something that was just meant to be accepted by Caregivers.

"Fred did not pick it up at Classy's rather we were on the way through Muggle London when we came across a shop called Build-a-Bear and he fell in love with it. You can not see it but on the right footpad is the logo of the shop which was B.A.B. so it had a name with those initials," George explained.

 

"Papa can me and Fwed play one of my games now?" Harry asked stopping the pair of Caretaker's conversation.

"Sure thing, Harry, which game do you want to play with him?" Blaise said taking out their shrunken purchases from Classy's.

"Guess Who Magic addition," Harry said bouncing in place. With a smile, Blaise summoned the game and unshrunk it as he and George set it up for the two Littles. Harry looked in wonder as the game was set up looking just like the game he had seen Dudley play when he was younger, but unlike the Muggle Version, the pictures were actually made up of Chocolate Frog Cards with moving characters. The magic of the game would make them into regular static pictures until they were eliminated and the characters were able to be changed to include cards from someone's collection.

After the game was set up, Harry sat on his Papa's lap who helped him play the game. Fred being older did not need help from his Caretaker but also understood that Harry was in the age range that might not fully understand the rules. Harry was happy as thanks to his Papa's advice he was able to win against not only Fred and George but also everyone else as he happily kicked his feet under the table. After the first game, Fred and George went to talk to their mother about Ginny while the others played with Harry to distract him.

 

"Alright, so what exactly has Ginny said?" Molly asked the twins after she and Arthur had led them away from Harry.

"Well, I would rather not repeat anything let's just say she seems to be a little prejudiced against Littles," Fred said having more than once been cornered by his younger sister who was now older than his usual Little Space.

"That is also the reason we came home for the summer, just in case Ron was classified as a Little.  We knew he would need protection from her," George said wrapping his arm around Fred's shoulder who leaned his head against his Caregiver's shoulder. Molly and Arthur shared a horrified look, at how had they missed their little girl bullying one of her siblings due to their Classification. As they heard a cry from the living room the Alpha and Omega feared Ginny had come home and seen Harry making them rush out followed by Fred and George. To their relief the cry, while coming from Harry was not due to Ginny but a small flock of Owls flying towards the home. The flock of birds flew in and dropped a letter for all the current Hogwarts students. Before Blaise opened his letter, he did it for Harry putting up a small Silencing Charm so he could read the letter aloud without disturbing the others.

 

Hello, Hogwarts Seventh-Year student,

This year we have four Alphas, four Omegas, five Masters, and five Pets. For the first time in three years, we have a Little at Hogwarts along with his Caregiver. There are also as of this moment three other unattached Caregivers and three Neutrals. As a reminder, if a student is found to abusing a Little in either form, they will be severely punished as decided upon by the Little's Caretaker and the School board.

Headmistress Minerva McGonagall

 

Following the short message was a list of books and supplies that Harry would need for his class.

 

Due to your status as a Little, you will no longer be able to take either Potions or Care of Magical Creatures for your protection. If your Caretaker has either of these classes, you will need to find someone to watch you while they are in class. As the Seventh-Year is mostly review for students the only news books that you will need are the Standard Book of Spells Year 1-6 Little Edition. and A Littles' Guide to the Big Magical World. Since you need to remain with your Caretaker at night, make sure you have a discussion with them about where you will be staying if you are not in the same House.

-Message from Albus Dumbledore (written before his death for Harry  James Potter)

 

Hearing that the Headmaster had written a message just for him, Harry's eyes filled with tears as Blaise dropped the letter and began to rock him back and forth to help calm him down. it was at that moment that Ginny returned from wherever she had been and glared at Draco and Theo still finding it sickening that her older brother and Hermione had become, in her mind, toys to a couple of Slytherins. Clicking her tongue she turns away and sees a third male she recognized as a Slytherin rocking someone. Great so from their trip the two snakes had found one of their friends and his worthless Little.

This was only a guess as she saw a stuffed cat that she had never seen before on the table beside the new snake. Oh, how she wished she was of age so she could take her wand and blast the stupid cat with a fire spell and listen to the pathetic excuse for a human cry which would be like music to her ears. Suddenly the snake rocked the idiot and to her horror, she saw she recognized the person. "No, no, no, no," she began to mutter to herself making the others realize that she was there. Fred, George, and their parents all tense up in case Ginny shows her displeasure in a way that would harm Harry or the other submissive in the room.

 

Harry seeing Ginny made his tears dry up as he got out of his Papa's lap and rushed to hug her, "Hello Gin."

"Stay away from me, you freak," Ginny said stopping Harry in his tracks as if someone had cast a Freezing Charm on him.

"What was that Ginny," Ron said as he dropped his Hogwarts letter in shock thinking he had to have misheard her.

"You are all freaks," Ginny said glaring at the three groups of soon-to-be Seventh-Years as well as the twins.

"Excuse Me!?" Draco said getting up and placing himself between his Omega and the girl.

 

"Shut it Malfoy it is bad enough that my brother has become your slutty plaything, that does not mean I want to hear your fucking voice," Ginny said as George and Blaise quickly cast Muffling Charms on their Littles glaring at the girl.

"Ginevra Molly Weasley," Arthur said letting his Alpha fully out for the first time on one of his kids. "I know we did not raise you to act like that."

"Oh, don't you start I can't believe you are okay with one of your kids being the toy to the son of a man that you have been trying to put away for years.  While his friends take control of the ones who took down Voldemort. How do we know that these three didn't use a dark ritual to bind them to Ron and his friends."

"Enough Ginevra," Arthur said as he took out his wand and cast a Stunning Charm on her before turning to look at the others in the room. Ron and Hermione looked in utter shock as their dominants hugged them in support while both Fred and Harry had tears running down their cheeks. "I think it might be a good idea for you all to head somewhere else for the time being," Arthur said sadly as he went over to hug his son and friends before shaking the hands of the Slytherins to show he did not believe any of his daughter's ramblings. The group gave him understanding looks as Blaise lifted Harry into his arms letting the Little wrap himself Koala-style around him as they left.

 

"I am sorry love," Draco said as he hugged Ron who was taking his little sister's view the hardest.

"I can't believe she thought that you had tampered with our results," Ron said letting his head fall onto his shorter Alpha's shoulder.

"She meany," Harry said at last looking up from his Papa's shoulder "Uncle Dway and Wonny BFF they meant to be with each othew."

"Yes they do, Harry, it is not their fault that she can not see it she is just too young," Blaise said.

"Yeah just wait until she gets her Classification next year then she will understand," Theo said.

 

"That is unless she comes out as Neutral," Hermione pointed out.

"I would invite you all back to the Manor if you still want to hang out," Draco said.

"Yeah sleepovew," Harry said with a happy giggle making the others smile for the first time since Ginny had shown up.

"Yes a sleepover," Draco said with a smile reaching over and trying to make Harry's hair lie flat.

"Wait in lettew from Hoggywawts, they said we can decide whewe we stay ovew night we could have sleepovews evewy night," Harry said his eyes going wide in absolute joy at the thought.

"Are you asking us to become a clan?" Theo asked astonished.

"If that means fwiends, we is alweady wight?" Harry asked looking at the tall pale boy hugging his Hermione from behind.

Notes:

In my mind, Albus wrote up a letter for Harry for each Classification, just in case, before he died. He did not just randomly know Harry would be a Little.

Chapter 5: Clan St. Clair

Summary:

The Golden Trio and the Sliver Princes form a Clan as a peanut butter cookie leads to Draco learning his true parentage.

Notes:

Due to the nature of this story, as there is a scene involving a murder, I will place warnings around it.

Sirius is the first to break the silence that came from Harry's pronouncement. "Are you sure Harry?"

"Yes, we are fwiends, ow do they not want to be?" Harry asked his lower lip beginning to quiver a little.

"Of course we are your friends, Harry, but becoming a Clan takes more than friendship it is like becoming a family," Hermione said.

"A family that sounds even bettewew," Harry said giving them all a blazing smile.

"Seems like he made up his mind, shall we head to the Manor so that you can work out the details?" Narcissa asked.

"Yeah sleepovew," Harry said making them all giggle as he clapped his hands behind Blaise's back. Still chuckling the group turned on the spot and Apparated to Malfoy Manor. Ron and Hermione let themselves be guided into the Manor having never been there before as Harry looked around in wonder at the large castle-like manor thinking it would be so fun to play hide and seek in it. Narcissa put the group into a large conference room as she left to catch up with her cousin. Taking seats at a large circular table Draco summoned a quill and some parchment to make notes as well writing up their eventual contract for their clan.

 

"Let's start with agreeing that for the moment at least this is a short-term clan," Draco said seeing everyone, but Harry, nodding in agreement wrote it down in his notes. The group started to discuss everything from the jobs that each was to perform within the clan such as Ron thanks to learning from his mother was a fantastic cook and was chosen to cook meals for the group. Pretty soon Harry got bored of all the "adult talk" and began to kick his feet under the table. Seeing this, Blaise pulled out the shopping from earlier and pulled out the magic coloring book and his crayons.

Leaning down Blaise whispered to his Little, "You know I think that a nice picture would look good to go along with our Clan Contract." Harry's eyes widen to saucers as his Papa pushes the book towards him and places his crayons beside him. Harry flips through the pages of the book until he finds the perfect picture of a kitty having a tea party with a bear. Thinking of Sammy and Bingo Ate Bananas, Harry stuck his tongue through his lips, grabbed a crayon, and started to work. The others stopped their discussion for a moment to coo slightly at him before they returned to their current talk on who was the top dominant in the Clan. While Blaise had no desire for the position, Theo and Draco both wanted the job. In the end, the only thing that stopped the pair from having a dominance fight was that Harry was in the room still coloring his picture and not even paying attention to their discussion. Before the argument comes to actual blows, Harry lets out a happy sound as he puts his crayons down.

"I am finished Papa," Harry said as he showed them all the picture of the cat and bear he colored to look like his and Freddie's animal friends having tea with a beautiful yellow teapot and blue dishes.

"Wow, what a lovely picture Harry," Hermione said, "do you want to add that to the contract?"

"Yes please," Harry said ripping the picture out of the book and handing it to his Papa who passed it to Uncle Dray.

"It shall make a great addition Harry," Draco said adding it to the notes for the contract making Harry grin brighten up like a sun.

"How is everything going on in here?" Narcissa asked poking her head into the room after Sirius had returned to his place to join Remus and Nymphadora for the remainder of the Omega's Heat cycle.

"I colowed a pictuwe for the contwact," Harry said happily as with a chuckle Draco showed his mother the picture making her let an "Aww" at it as she looked over the notes and saw that the group was having trouble selecting a leader for their Clan. Knowing that they would need to hold a dominance fight to decide on the leader, she decided to help them out as well as helping to keep Harry occupied.

 

"That is a fantastic picture what say you come and help me make some cookies for everyone?" Narcissa asked.

"Cookies!" Harry almost shouted before turning to his Papa "Can I go help Papa?"

"Yes you can, just make sure you listen to Mrs. Malfoy," Blaise said giving her a nod of thanks knowing what she was doing. "Just leave Sammy here so he does not get too dirty." Harry nodded in understanding as he placed Sammy on the table before his seat before he jumped to his feet he went forward took Narcissa's hand and began to skip down the hall next to her.

As soon as Harry and Narcissa had turned a corner, Draco placed his head down on the table before asking, "How the hell is he that cute? No offense intended, Blaise but there should be no reason that Harry Bloody Potter is so cute."

"You are just jealous," Blaise said.

 

"There is actually a theory on that," Hermione stated making everyone look over at her and Ron roll his eyes at her.

"Well might as well just skip to the part where you share the theory, Mione," Ron said.

"Well, a couple of years ago there was a book whose author suggested that in the case of a Magical Little when they slip into Little space since they no longer have full control of their magic the magic would come out differently. A Little's magic would come out in a way that would help protect them by enhancing a Little's cuteness as well as making others desire to protect them. However, some have a natural immunity to this type of magic hence Crabbe, Goyle, his Muggle relatives, and Ginny's reactions to Harry."

"That is a nice theory, but I don't think," Draco began only for Hermione to cut him off.

"When you watched Harry and Fred play Guess Who earlier what did you feel?" she asked.

"I hm... I guess I felt a need to make sure they both were happy and protected," Draco said with a shrug.

 

"Now did you ever feel that way about either of them before?" Hermione asked.

"Well for Fred, no but I have felt it for Harry when I was worried about him when Voldy returned with my father at his right hand," Draco said.

"Well, I can only guess you never really interacted with Fred when he would slip into Little Space that was younger than you are now," Hermione said. "There is a second part where the author states the younger the age frame of the little the more powerful their magic protects them in this way."

"Alright I get it," Draco said waving his hands in surrender at her.

 

Harry looked at everything as Uncle Dray's mommy led him deeper into the manor until they reached a door and she pushed it open revealing the largest kitchen he had ever seen filled with strange men dressed in togas. "Ah, Mistress St. Clair what can Dexter do for you today?" one of the men asked.

"Miss St. Claiw?" Harry asked looking up at Draco's mommy and seeing her wince.

"Just forget it, Harry, just call me Nana," Narcissa said silently cursing the Head Elf and herself for not thinking this through. The kitchens had always been her sanctum from Lucius and had made sure all the Elves knew to call her by the name of her long-dead husband and Draco's real father.

"Okay Nana," Harry said following her to a table in the middle of the room.

 

"So what type of cookies shall we make for everyone?" she asked as she used her wand to summon some basic ingredients and a pair of aprons.

Harry thought for a moment with a finger pressed to his lip as she tied a gray apron onto him before he decided, "Peanut buttew and chocolate."

"That sounds wonderful Harry," Narcissa said as she pulled out a cookbook and flipped to find a recipe for cookies that contained both peanut butter and chocolate. For the next half hour, the pair worked on the treat only occasionally helped by one of the House Elves. Harry was thrilled when he was given the task of using the cookie cutters to put them into shapes. His favorite one was a ball that had wings on it that Nana told him was of a Snitch with a smile and a soft laugh. He did not know what was so funny as he pressed the cutter into the cookie dough making more wing-ball-shaped cookies. Once they were done, Nana took the three racks of cookies and placed them in the oven to bake for a while letting Harry lick the spoon after she cast a spell to make sure he would not get sick from it.

 

In the end, Draco was the victor in the dominant fight making him the leader of the Clan. The only thing left to do was for every member to sign an agreement and to decide what their Clan would be called. Usually, a Clan would take its name from the family name of the leader of it, but Draco spoke out against it due to what his father had done and what could happen to Ron, Hermione, and especially Harry if it was revealed that they were in a clan that shared the same name as Voldy's right-hand man but so far no other name seemed to suit the group. And there were a lot of suggestions such as Silver Lions, Golden Snakes, Silver and Gold, and the like that tried to empathize that they came from both Slytherin and Gryffindor. it was while everyone trying to come up with a name for their clan when Harry and Narcissa returned. "Papa, look at the cookies me and Nana St. Claiw made," Harry said holding out a plate of peanut butter cookies drizzled in melted chocolate shaped like snitches while Narcissa flinched.

"They look tasty Harry, can I have one?" Blaise asked as Draco gave his mother a strange look.

"St. Clair, where did that come from?" the blonde Alpha asked his mother.

 

"I guess, you should learn the truth before you try to take our house seat in Wizengamot," Narcissa said with a sigh as she placed her plate of cookies in the middle of the table. "I guess the best place to start is that Lucius Malfoy is not your real father," she said looking her son right in the eye so that he could use his talent with Legilimency to see that she was not lying.  "I dated Lucius during my time at Hogwarts and we both thought that when we got our Classifications we would be paired together.

It was a shock to find that while we were classed as Master and Pet, we were not bound together. My Bonded was a Top by the name of Lancer St. Clair and he came from an offshoot of the Delacour line.  Hence your Creature blood as neither Black nor Malfoy lines hold any blood in their lines. Lucius did not like the fact that we had not been Bound and had always been a touch possessive and decided that no matter what the test had shown I was to be his Pet.

As Lancer went to Beauxbatons my father, Cygnus, took me over to meet him, and as usual, as soon as I laid eyes on him, I felt the Bond form leading me to transfer to Beauxbatons for my final year of school to be with him. Lucius did not take it well and had not even tried, from what I heard from your aunt Andromeda, to connect with his Bonded partner. After Lancer and I left school, we moved into a small apartment in France's main Magical Alley and we lived a happy life. Nine months later you entered our lives and made us even happier and while we did not have that much money we were happy. Your real name is Draconis Lawrence St. Clair."

"What happened to him?" Draco asked his voice low as he tried to stay calm.

 

Murder Scene

 

"I assume you are talking about your real father," she said and received a nod from her son. "On your first birthday, I had invited some of my old friends one of which was Lucius so that I could meet his Bonded. I was horrified at the party to learn that his bottom had died shortly after they had met. Feeling sorry for him I made the biggest mistake of my life as I offered him a place to stay for the night so that we could talk. It was all going well until," Narcissa then looked over at Harry and cast a quick Muffling Spell on his so he would be not able to hear the rest of the story.

"That night, I woke up to someone screaming as I found Lucius in your father and my bedroom withdrawing his wand to Lancer's throat as a deep cut appeared and blood began to pour out. Having a Masters in Healing I could have helped save his life but Lucius had put a Body Bind on me so I could only watch but not act. "You will always be mine, love," Lucius had told me sticking his fingers into the blood pouring from your father's neck before bringing it to his mouth and licking them clean. "The Classification test did not know what it was on about as if I could ever love another that bitch it set me up with was utterly worthless and not worth my time. At our first meeting as soon as we were alone I made as if to hug her only to without any problem snap the bitch's neck," he told me.

When I was still held down next to the slowly dying form of your father, Lucius left the room only to return with you in his hands. He then threatened to kill you as well unless I married him as he held his wand to your throat. I knew that if he killed you so soon after Lancer it would be the end of me so in my cowardice, I agreed. With a slight mad smile on his face, he pulled out a bottle of potion pricking his finger, and letting three drops of his blood fall into the bottle and to my ever-increasing horror made you drink it in an illegal Blood Adoption. For the next few months, I would hardly let you leave my sight and would cry myself to sleep only stopping when Lucius threatened you again so that I would pretend to be his loving wife. Anytime I acted up or tried to get you away, he would threaten you with anything from just cutting your throat as he had done to your father or tying you outside and letting those peacocks of his peck out your eyes.

End Scene

 

"That bastard," Draco said pounding the table and making Harry look over in confusion. Ron reached over and took his Alpha's hand to help calm him down

"I am sorry, my Dragon, if only I had the strength to stand up to him," Narcissa said putting her head into her hands

"It is not your fault Mother, the only one to blame is Lucius," Draco said walking around the table and pulling his mother into a hug. Harry seeing it tries to get up to join in only for Blaise to place a hand over his shoulder and give him a small shake of his head. Since he could not join in the hug Harry climbed onto his Papa's lap and ate some of his cookies talking to Sammy.

 

"Papa, why did Uncle Dway and Theo fight?" Harry asked after a while breaking the silence that had ruled the room after Narcissa's tale.

"What makes you think they fought Harry?" Blaise asked.

"Sammy said that he saw them attack each othew until Uncle Theo knelt befowe Uncle Dway," Harry said shocking everyone. "Also since Uncle Dway's name is St. Claiw why not use that as ouw Clan's name?"

"Hermione?" Blaise asked turning to look at the Witch.

 

"Don't look at me, I have never read anything that would explain how he knows what had happened when he was out of the room," Hermione said sounding confused.

"Maybe George would know," Ron said as he gave Draco's shoulders a massage to help calm him down.

"That is a good idea though," Draco said.

"What is?" Ron asked nuzzling against his Alpha's back.

"To call our clan St. Clair, thank you, Harry," Draco said reaching back and patting Ron's cheek in thanks.

"You'we welcome. Uncle Dway," Harry said eating another of his cookies as Draco placed the new Clan name at the top of the contract before he signed at the bottom and passed it on to the others.

"Do you need help signing it, Harry?" Blaise asked when it was passed to them.

"No Papa, I can do it," Harry said taking the quill unsteadily in his hand. With a soft smile, Blaise wrapped his hand gently around Harry and the quill and helped the Little sign his name onto the contract.* Once everyone had signed the Clan contract, Draco took out the picture Harry colored earlier and attached it under all their names before he hung it up. Harry smiled at seeing his work on display as the group celebrated the contract by eating the cookies Harry and Narcissa had made.

 

A few days later the group who had settled into one wing of the former Malfoy and now newly rechristen St. Clair Manor when they received a reply from George to their question. After reading it Ron shared some news with the group, "First off it seems Mom and Dad had sent Ginny to see a Mind Healer for her actions against both Fred and Harry. Also according to George, it seems that there is a strong connection between a Little and their first stuffed friend the way he tells it Fred can know anything that is said or done in his bear's presence even if he is not there. He does not know why either but wants to warn us to watch what we say and do around Sammy just in case."

"Alright then make sure Sammy is nowhere in the room if you ever go into Heat got it," Draco teased making Ron blush and Harry look confused.

"Yes keep away from Sammy if you get sick, Uncle Wonny," Harry said holding tightly onto his friend as the others let out a soft chuckle.

 

Later that day the group received their first visit from all of Harry's guardians as Nymphadora's Heat cycle finally ended the day before and she and Remus had finally recovered enough to leave the house. The pair had been less shocked to find out that their Harry had presented as a Little having suspected it since Albus' death but were surprised to find that he had not only found his Caregiver but also was in a Clan. Remus wanted to check on his adopted son as soon as he was told but Sirius would not have it until he and Tonks regained their strength from the cycle. Remus stormed into the communal drawing room that the Clan had chosen as a sort of living room to find Harry playing a new game Nana St. Clair had got him, chutes and ladders, with his Papa, Uncle Theo, and Aunt Hermione.

Remus stopped in place for a moment as he looked on his cub who rolled the dice a little too enthusiastically so that it smacked Hermione in the face. Remus tensed up in case the witch did something for the hit but she just let out a giggle and looked down to tell Harry how many space to move. With a joyful giggle Harry, with the help of his Papa, moved the piece across the board and up, one of the ladders to the victory spot. Harry pumped his fist into the air as he turned to hug his Papa only for him to spot Remus and Nymphadora standing in the doorway. Pushing himself off the floor Harry ran over to them before jumping into the surprised Alpha's arms who instinctive wrapped the Little into a tight hug. "Well hello to you as well, cub," Remus said breathing in the scent of the Little.

"Hello Gwandaddy," Harry said pressing his face into Remus's chest who nearly dropped him after being called Granddaddy. Nymphadora let out a giggle at the new title only for Harry to see her and give her a wide smile. "Hello Gwandmommy," he said causing Remus to bite his lip to stop himself from laughing at his Omega's expression.

"Hello again Professor," Blaise said holding out his hand to shake as Remus adjusted Harry to his hip so he could shake the teen's hand.

 

"I take it you are Harry's Caregiver, it is Blaise Zabini correct?" Remus asked

"Correct on both counts Professor," Blaise said giving a slight bow.

"Sirius did not mention what age group is he in?" Nymphadora asked.

"He is in the middle age group but I have found he tends to stay around the age of five or six," Blaise said shaking her hand. "Also don't blame me for the name, it seems that after Lady St. Clair told him to call her Nana anyone in our parents' generation that is related to us, he sees them as a grandparent."

"Ah I see," Remus said as he followed the young Caregiver to a set of couches as Hermione and Theo put the game away seeing Harry was not coming back anytime soon. "I thought that there were six of you in this Clan?" Remus asked looking around the room for signs of Ron and Draco.

"Well, it seems that Ron was feeling rather hot so Draco is taking care of him," Blaise said with a nod to Harry making the pair understand the meaning behind the words.

 

"Yeah Uncle Wonny got sick yesterday but Papa will not let me take him any soup to make him bettewew," Harry said making his Papa and his new granddaddy and mommy share a knowing look.

"He just does not want you to get sick Harry," Hermione said as she laid her head in Theo's lap on the other sofa.

"So how has it been for all of you since your test besides Ron's sickness?" Remus said running his fingers slowly through Harry's hair.

"Well we had some rough spots with some former friends on both sides not to mention Lady St. Clair's reveal," Theo said.

 

"How did Draco take the news?" Nymphadora asked a little worried for her cousin.

"Not well at first but after a while, he began to see that the signs had been there that Lucius never really cared for him and right now I think they are both ready to drop the name Malfoy, though due to the Blood Adoption Draco still is considered Lord of the house," Blaise said as he took a yawning Harry away from Remus recognizing the signs that Harry might take a nap today. Due to his age range, Harry did not need to take a nap every day, but almost every other day Harry would end up taking a short half-hour nap.

"You seemed to pick up the Caregiver thing quite quickly," Nymphadora said reaching over and running her fingers through her adopted son's messy brown hair as he let out another yawn snuggling against his Papa's chest. Blaise just shrugs as the group moves on to other subjects for a while as Harry has his nap.

 

"And then he opens his book and is shocked to find that a picture he colored the day before was blank again," Blaise said making them all chuckle a little.

"I take it you forgot to tell him that in a magical coloring book if the page is not torn out it will revert to its blank state within a day," Remus said a little sad that he was missing all of this feeling as if he was missing his child's first steps or word.

"I did, but you also have to recall that he is still getting used to magic at his current age, deep down he trusts it but in his Little Space it is all still new to him," Blaise said planting a kiss on Harry's forehead making the Little cuddle up even closer to his chest.

"I feel that I must apologize, Blaise," Remus said after a moment.

 

"Why?" the dark-skinned Caregiver asked.

"When Sirius told us Harry was not only a Little but had found a Caregiver so soon while I was out of commission, I felt as if I was losing him. He might only be my adopted Godson through Sirius but my Alpha side has always considered him my cub."

"I understand," Blaise said as with practice ease shifted Harry from his chest to Remus's wherein Harry wrapped his arms around the older Alpha and with a small smile on his face kept sleeping dead to the word.

 

All too soon in Narcissa's opinion, the summer was ending and the St. Clair Clan got ready to return to Hogwarts. The group wanting to bypass the crowds had sent special orders for all the books and equipment that they would need for the coming year and only went to the Alley to visit Madam Malkins for their new robes in which their House crest would be joined by a crest denoting their classification and since they were in a Clan the design they had chosen for to be their crest. Unable to say no to Harry, the crest for Clan St. Clair had become the picture that he had colored of Sammy and Bingo Ate Bananas. Madam Malkin had smiled at Harry as he bounced on his feet as she measured him for his robes which due to him being a Little were made of a material that was both lighter and softer than the other school robes not to mention came in different colors as Littles were not restricted to having to wear just plain black robes.

Since Littles tended to prefer clothing with bright colors or cartoon designs on them Hogwarts and other Magical Institutions tended to bend the color rule for them lest the Little throw a never-ending tantrum. On the day of their return, the group was accompanied to the station by Narcissa, Remus, Sirius, Nymphadora, and Adriana as were met by both of Hermione's parents and Theo's grandfather. Holding his Papa's hand as everyone made their endless goodbyes, at least in his mind, Harry looked around the crowd and saw their group getting startled looks from their fellow students to see the Golden Trio and the Silver Princes being so close together.

 

As his Papa let go of his hand to hug his mother goodbye, Uncle Dray placed a hand on his shoulder so he would not wander off. Not that Harry felt like doing that with so many people around not after meeting Crabbe and Goyle in Classy's, seeing his Muggle family at McDonalds, and then what happened with Ginny, he stayed with his family. That is until he sees a familiar male in the crowd and turns to look up at Uncle Dray. "Look Uncle there is Neville let's go say hi," Harry said pointing to Neville who had stopped in his tracks as he saw the group.

"Alright then but hold my hand," Draco said as he shifted his hand to take hold of Harry's right hand letting the Little pull them through the crowd.

As soon as they got close enough, Harry slipped his hand from his Uncle Dray's and ran up to his friend calling out, "Hello Neville."

"Hiya Harry, I take it that you are the Little mentioned in our Hogwarts letter," Neville said smiling down at Harry while sending uncertain looks to Draco.

"Yup that me," Harry said poking his chest proudly making both Draco and Neville laugh.

 

"And is Draco your um dad?" Neville asked hesitatingly

"No silly he is my Uncle my Papa is over thewe," Harry said pointing back at the group.

"Oh, your Papa is Ron?" Neville asked again.

"No he is Uncle Dway's BFF,' Harry said a little annoyed that Neville was not getting it.

 

"He means Blaise," Draco said at last clearing things up.

"Yep, come say hello," Harry said taking Neville's hand and pulling him back to his new family.

"Oh hey, Neville have a good summer?" Ron asked as Neville was brought into the group.

"Um it was okay," Neville said as he watched Draco move over and give the redhead a back hug.

Suddenly Hermione snapped her fingers as if she recalled something as she turned to Neville and asked, "Not to be rude but what were you classified as?"

"Um, Neutral why?" Neville asked.

"Well as you know Littles can not take potions classes but since all of us are in potions we need someone to watch him if you are willing," Hermione said making the rest of the Clan look at him with looks of hope.

"Um, what would I need to do?" Neville asked as Harry just stood there having gone back to looking around the crowd many of which had taken note of his behavior and were giving him small waves which he enthusiastically responded to.

"Nothing much just play some games with him or "explore" the castle just think of it as being a babysitter if it helps," Blaise said giving Harry a soft smile.

 

"I guess I could do it if I have a free period at the time," Neville said.

"Thank you," Draco said and to Neville's shock, the blonde reached out and shook his free hand. "Would you like to join us in our compartment for the ride?"

"You have your own compartment, I thought it was first come first serve?" Neville asked.

"It usually would be but we wrote to Headmistress McGonagall explaining that we had formed a Clan," Hermione explained leaning into a tall boy Neville was sure whose name was Theodore Niz or something.

"A clan already?" Neville asked wondering if he would be able to actually speak normally around his friends again or if he would be stuck just questioning everything they told him.

"It was Harry's idea he wanted a family and sleepovers," Ron said with a laugh at the look on Neville's face.

"So what do you say, will you join us?" Draco asked again.

"Um I guess I would not want to intrude," Neville said.

"You would not intwude, Uncle Neville, it will be fun I will teach you a lot of fun games to play," Harry said as he pulled Neville to the train and into the compartment that the Clan had already put their luggage into. "This yeaw is going to be suppew fun," Harry said kicking his legs over the seat of the train as the others arrived his Papa told him off slightly for leaving them all behind but Harry did not care he was too excited and they had been saying goodbye forever.

Notes:

*The only job of the little in most Clan contracts is just to have fun but follow the rules set out by the rest of the family which only apply when they are in Little Space.

Chapter 6: Out of space

Summary:

Thanks to Sammy, Harry hears something that brings him out of Little Space.

Notes:

not adding it to the main tags but this chapter contains some suicidal thoughts and some angst; for I only plan for them to happen in this chapter and get back to the fluff in the next one.

When they arrived at Hogwarts, the clan was met by McGonagall who handed Draco a map that would lead them to their new dorms before letting them into the Great Hall. There was no hesitation as the entire group headed to the Slytherin table though Ron and Hermione did share a slightly worried look at some of the older Slytherins moving in closer to their dominants while Harry just smiled and waved at everyone. Blaise just rolled his eyes, holding Harry's hand knowing that with a Little there was no way to hide the fact that Harry had been the person that was mentioned in everyone's Hogwarts letters. Once, the sorting was over and food appeared before them Blaise was glad to see that there was a pre-prepared plate of food before Harry meaning he did not have to worry about his Little not eating correctly by taking too many sweets.

As Harry ate his meal, of a hotdog and a small serving of french fries, he chatted with the Slytherins around them under Blaise's watchful eye in case any decided to use his new status to tease Harry, but his fears seemed to be misplaced for everyone, around them easily fell in love with the happy-go-lucky Little. Ron was not so lucky as Pansy was rather annoyed that he had been the one to end up with Draco, but she was unable to do anything to the redhead thanks to both Draco's presence as well as her Alpha, which surprisingly was Hannah Abbot. While Hermione was not having trouble, she was paying attention to the rest of the hall most specifically to see how their fellow Gryffindors took her, Ron, and Harry being paired with the Slytherin Princes. Except for Ginny, no one else seemed to really care as when she caught some of their eyes they actually gave her slight nods and smiles. During the feast, Harry began to fall asleep leaning into his Papa making the Slytherins around the coo at him. At the end of the feast, Blaise easily lifted the sleeping Little into his arms as he followed Draco to their new rooms.

 

The Clan followed the map to a corridor in the west wing of Hogwarts on the fifth floor a short distance from the Hospital Wing, making Blaise wonder if the location was planned due to Harry and his habit of ending up there at least four times a term for major problems. There was no password to enter their new rooms as it was designed to read the crest of the Clan on their robes and open the door for them. Once they stepped over the threshold everyone stopped and stared open-mouthed at finding such an extravagant room inside Hogwarts.

The Clan's rooms contained a large open-aired sitting room with an attached kitchen beside a staircase leading to multiple bedrooms. Feeling as if it was the thing to do they all kicked off their shoes before climbing the stairs to check out the rooms. As the rooms did not have nameplates it let them decide who got what room, not that it really made a difference as Ron and Draco shared one room, while Theo and Blaise took another since Theo wanted to make sure Hermione did not feel pressured to do anything she was not yet ready for. Hermione and Harry each had their own rooms with Harry taking the smaller room because it had the larger storage space for all his Little gear. Putting Harry into his new bed, the others began to unpack before they shared a cup of tea before bed. Over the next couple of days, the Clan saw that Harry had a talent for charming almost everyone as he skipped to their classes with laughter that filled the halls of the castle. As it was almost an age since a Little in the mid-age range been at Hogwarts, the castle itself seemed to become warmer and more welcoming to everyone inside its walls.

 

However, as with most things, the happy mood was not to last and it was the most unlikely event that led to the change. While working on his Little activity book for his Charms lessons, Harry began to fall asleep, and being a good Little began to put his stuff away into his bag before leaning against his Papa. Only to fall asleep before he remembered to put Sammy back into his bag after getting him out to put the activity book in. Blaise just smiled as Harry leaned into him as he fell asleep and did not notice Sammy on the seat next to Harry. At the end of the lesson, Harry was still asleep so Blaise lifted him but left the stuffed cat behind as he carried Harry to their next class, Transfiguration.

It was only when Harry opened his bag to get his activity book for the class after he woke up that he found out that Sammy was missing. Harry began to tear up but even as a Little he could not leave the class to look for his friend. Blaise did his best to both do his work and keep Harry calm during the double period helped out by Ron and Theo who were sitting next to the pair. At the end of class, before they could stop him, Harry rushed out of the room to look for Sammy. It was distressing to watch as the Little rushed through the halls calling for his cat but no one could tell him where it was. One Ravenclaw Second-Year suggests he check in his classrooms leading Harry to hug the startled boy before he rushes to charms. With a shout of joy, he saw Sammy sitting on Professor Flitwick's desk. "Ah, Mr. Potter, I was just about to send for you one of my students found Sammy here at your desk. Flitwick said smiling as he saw Harry pull his friend to his chest and tightly hug him. With a smile on his face, Harry thanked the Charms Master before he began to skip out of the room to head down to lunch.

"So did you miss me, Sammy?" Harry asked his returned friend.

"I did but the class was fun for a bit," Sammy said with a smile on his face.

 

"Why only a bit?" Harry asked stopping for a bit to let a group of First-Year Huffelpuffs cross the corridor as he listened to Sammy as the cat told him of a conversation he overheard in the charms classroom while Harry was in Transfiguration. Harry's body tensed up as he was informed of a discussion about him and his Clan. It seems that the Slytherin Third-Years thought that it was a shame Harry was a Little calling him a burden to Blaise and his Clan while his friend just could not believe that the one who had finally ended the most recent Dark Lord was a stupid Little.

For the first time since his Classification, Harry found himself out of his Little space as his body hunched up a little in on itself wondering if the students were right about him being a burden to Blaise and the others. Dropping his hands to his side the only thing keeping Sammy from falling to the floor was a grip on the stuffed toy's tail as Harry changed direction to go to the Clan's rooms rather than down to lunch. He was so lost in thought he did not even notice the students he passed gave shocked looks to see him walk so sedately as he held Sammy by just the tail.

 

"Hello, Harry I see you found Sammy are you feeling better now?" a voice asked making Harry look up to find Blaise and the others waiting in their sitting room while Draco helped Ron in the kitchen to make lunch for the group. "Is everything okay Harry?" Blaise asked getting up from his seat and seeing that something was off due to Harry's body language.

"I think, I just need a quick shower," Harry said making the others notice that his voice had lost its childlike quality as well as losing his ability to pronounce the letter r, giving a clear indicator that was out of his Little Space.

"Do you need any help?" Blaise asked knowing Harry would not need it but could not help himself.

"I can do it by myself," Harry said in a soft voice just as Draco came in with a plate of food.

"You mean like when you did it yourself over the summer and managed to flood the bathroom," Draco said not realizing Harry was out of Little Space making him think of all the help he had really needed in his Little Space.

"Fuck off, Draco," Harry said shocking everyone as he dropped Sammy and stomped to his room, and slammed the door making them all wince.

"When did our precious little boy turn into a moody teenager?" Draco asked once he was able to speak again sinking onto the couch.

"He is out of Little Space," Theo pointed out unnecessarily.

 

In his room, Harry leaned back against his door and fought against himself to keep himself out of Little Space and go rushing back to apologize to Uncle Dray.... no Draco for swearing at him. Harry sunk to the floor and wrapped his arms around his knees he was not going to slip into Little Space and become a burden to everyone. He was not going to slip into it ever again but looking up he saw that would be hard with all the stuff in his room. Seeing his wand sitting on a high shelf where his Little self would not think to reach for it. Feeling the warmth as soon as he took hold of the wand, Harry sent everything out of the room with a flash.

He heard a startled sound from the other side of the door before he turned and cast the most powerful Locking Charm he could on it. Harry now looked around the now bare room but found it was not enough so with several slashing spells on the wallpaper shredding it into strips a knocking came from his door. Harry ignored it as he cast a Muffling Charm around himself knowing he would slip at the moment if he heard any of the others at the moment. Satisfied at the new state of his room, Harry looked down at himself and saw the twin crest denoting his Little status and the Clan crest reaching for them with a pull them off his robes leaving ragged holes where they had been. Letting the crest fall from his grasp, Harry walked like an automaton to his bed and without even removing his clothes fell onto it and dropped instantly to sleep. Outside his room, Blaise was still knocking at his door calling his name having found that no spell any of them knew could undo the Locking Charm Harry had placed on his door. "Blaise we need to go," Draco said placing a hand on the other boy's shoulder.

 

"You all go he has never left Little Space before he might need me," Blaise said shrugging off his friend's hand as he went back to knocking and calling for Harry to come back out.

"He just needs some time," Hermione said as she finished putting all of Harry's little stuff into a corner of the room.

"Just make up some excuse for us, like Harry is sick or something," Blaise said finally giving up banging on the door as he leaned his head against the rough surface of the door.

"I am sure he is fine Blaise, he is probably just adjusting not to being in Little Space for the first time in months," Draco said.

"Yeah, and what would happen if while we are gone at our classes he slips back into Little Space?" Blaise said turning around and sinking to the floor with his back to the door to Harry's room.

"He does have a point, Draco," Ron said pulling his Alpha away. "If anything else happens let us know immediately." Rather than answer Blaise placed his right hand on his forehead and gave them a two-fingered salute as the others left as he settled in to wait for Harry. Harry did not come out of his room all day nor were there any sounds that Blaise could hear as he kept his silent vigil at his door. When they got back from their classes the rest of the clan was accompanied by Professors McGonagall and Snape.

 

"Lord St. Clair has informed us that Harry has left Little Space and has locked himself in his room," McGonagall said as soon as she entered and saw Blaise leaning against the door.

"I don't know what to do Professor, he has not eaten anything since breakfast this morning he has got to be starving," Blaise said with a groan as he moved for the first time in hours as he stood up.

"No matter how hard it might be this is actually quite normal for Littles the first time they leave Little Space," Snape said.

"Normal really?  Locking themselves away from their Caregiver and getting rid of their Little stuff is considered normal?" Blaise said unable to stop himself from clenching his fist.

"He got rid of his Little stuff?" McGonagall asked.

"Well the stuff that was in his room," Hermione said pointing to the pile to the side where everything was sitting with Sammy on top.

 

"Yep still a little normal," she said smiling at them "he should be fine in about a week or so."

"Are you sure?" Blaise asked a hint of worry in his voice as he reached across his body and took hold of his opposite arm.

"Yes there is really no need to worry Blaise," Snape said placing a comforting hand on the young Caregiver's shoulder. He was shocked as Blaise moved forward and hugged the Potion Master. Said Potion Master stood there awkwardly as he was hugged before he patted the other male's back. Draco had to turn a slight giggle into a cough just as the door to Harry's door opened causing everyone to look over.

"You are being, too fucking loud," Harry said as he slammed the door shut and locked it behind him making everyone jump.

"Okay, I must admit that was a shock," Professor McGonagall said, "but it should still all blow over eventually."

 

The next morning before everyone else woke up, Harry got out of bed pulled out some of his old Sixth-Years robes, and slid them on glad that he had not grown much in the last year. Leaving his room as silently as he could and thankfully that Blaise was no longer sitting there Harry left he transferred his school books into his old bag rather than the child-like bag he had been using before leaving the rooms. Not wanting to risk the Great Hall, Harry headed down to the kitchens to pick up some food from the Hogwarts Elves. He was glad the Elves never asked any questions as they gave him a full English Breakfast, though they did give him some odd looks when to combat his Little Space he would randomly let out a loud swear.

When he saw it was time for class, Harry thanked the Elves before he hoisted his bag and started towards the room using his knowledge of the school to avoid the most well-used routes to arrive. Seeing that the room was mostly filled already and spotting the rest of his Clan, Harry moved to the farthest open seat from them, and hunching over to draw less attention to himself he took the seat not looking around at anyone. When the class began and they started to review the spells Blaise came over to talk to him. Harry just turned away and worked on the assigned spells throwing the Caregiver's hand off his shoulder when Blaise tried to make him turn towards him. "Don't make me curse you," Harry said in a dangerous voice wielding his wand as if it were a knife he would not hesitate to use against the taller male.

"I am just worried about you Harry," Blaise said.

 

"I would be more worried about yourself if you do not leave me the fuck alone," Harry said in the same low dangerous voice.

"Fine but I am here when you need me," Blaise said giving him a small smile and doing his best to hide the pain as if Harry had stuck a knife into his heart returning to the others.

"Yeah need me to be a burden and mess up your life like the freak I am," Harry muttered to himself as he got back to work angry at himself that they would waste time worrying about him. "They were right I do not need to be taken care of I finished off Voldy I don't need anyone else," Harry said to himself as inside his mind he began to erect a cage around his Little Side slumping his shoulders as he did so.

By lunchtime, everyone had noticed the change that had come over Harry and the others as rather than sit with his Clan Harry sat at the end of the Gryffindor table with his wand by side with a look that he would not hesitate to use it on anyone that came too close. After lunch, Harry had a free period since he was not allowed to go to Care of Magic Creatures so he decided to head to the library to research to see if there was a way for him to end a bond without killing himself or Blaise only to curse the lack of knowledge on the Little Classification when he left the room for his next class.

 

Unlike what the Headmistress predicted, Harry was still avoiding and lashing out at everyone three weeks later. It hurt Blaise as he watched Harry's health begin to deteriorate as he did all he could to not slip into Little Space. Blaise even contacted George to see how he had handled Fred's first time coming out of Little Space, but it seemed due to the age range that Fred had, George had not even realized when such an event had happened. Nothing seemed to reach Harry who, like the first day would wake up and leave before anyone else no matter what any of them tried to do to either monitor him or wake up before him. The group had even tried to sit in different places while in class so that he would have no choice but to sit next to him which only led Harry to drag a chair away from a desk and sit next to the wall. If he was forced to work with one of them Harry would only talk about their assignment and make no further comments.

 

After the second week, the other students even tried to help Harry slip back into Little Space as they missed the sound of laughter from him and noticed the castle had felt colder. In response, Harry began to hang out with Ginny who was one of the few people who were not trying to get him back into Little Space. Seeing him with her, caused Blaise to nearly lose it thinking of how Harry had been hurt by her actions over the summer giving him a clue that something must really be wrong more than what they had first thought, but he still could not get anything from his Little.

As more time passed, Harry felt more like a robot as he traveled around the halls but was unwilling to be a burden to anyone having to resort to more and more despite measures to keep himself from slipping after he had found that swearing had become less effective after the first week. Being around Ginny had helped for a bit but as the third week passed even that was not working as well as it had been the week before. Harry ended up using his wand to dye his hair completely black as he made himself up to look like a Goth kid that his uncle would complain about as he did his best to suppress both his emotions and Little Side.

He was hoping if he made the others realize he was not worth the effort they would kick him out of the Clan and find someone better than he was not that it would take as much time as anyone else would do. He should have died along with both Voldy and Albus he thought to himself grabbing handfuls of his hair and pulling on it as he rocked back and forth in his room which the others had finally stopped trying to come into. He had been keeping it locked at all times now after he had come back at the end of the first week to find that to try to get him to slip, they refilled it with his Little stuff. The ruins of everything, except for the cat which he still could not find himself to destroy, placed on the group's coffee table had stopped them from trying again.

 

As Harry approached being a month since he was last a Little, Blaise began to grow worried knowing that if he did not slip soon there was a chance that Harry could go insane like Voldemort. Feeling so worried for Harry, Blaise's own health began to deteriorate until on the way to breakfast the day before the month was up, Blaise lost his footing due to his weakened state falling down half a flight of stairs. Thankfully as the rest of their Clan was with him they were able to quickly get word to Madam Pomfrey.

Draco finally decided enough was enough as he left the others with Blaise and went in search of Harry and brought him back by any means necessary. Seeing the look on his face as he looked for Harry, everyone got out of his way making one First-Year look as if they had peed themselves as he thundered through the halls. When he found Harry, Draco saw that once again he was with Ginny who seemed to be encouraging him with the information that if he could just it until the end of the day he would not have to worry about sipping every again.

Now Draco while having a temper was not one to lose control of his magic but hearing what she was telling Harry, the blonde lost it. With a roar that a dragon would envy a wave of magic exploded from the Alpha picking Ginny up and throwing her into a nearby wall before sticking her to it. Harry looked over at the girl before turning to Draco with the same dead emotionless face as Draco marched over and pulled him to his feet by the collar of his robes. "Blaise is hurt, and you are coming with me right now," Draco said shocking himself a little by how calm his voice was.

"Let me go Malfoy," Harry said hoping that using that name would make the Alpha release him.

 

"Did what I say sound like a suggestion, Little One?" Draco said as he easily lifted Harry off the ground and threw him over his shoulder as if the other male was nothing but a sack of potatoes.

"PUT ME THE FUCK DOWN!!!!" Harry screamed as he began to try to wiggle out from the Alpha's grip by kicking his feet into the blonde's chest. For all the good it did, Draco hardly seemed to feel the blows as he turned on his heel and carried the kicking and screaming Boy-Who-Lived all the way back to the Hospital Wing only stopping when they were right outside the doors to return Harry to his feet while keeping his firm hold on the Little's hand.

"Now you will go in there and apologize for worrying everyone or so help me," Draco began only to stop as he saw twin streams of tears falling from the other's eyes. Draco not fully trusting in the fact that the tears were genuine kept a grip on Harry as the boy sobbed before him. After five minutes with no sign that the tears were either fake or stopping, Draco let go of Harry's hand as he pulled him into a hug. Harry began to wail a little as he was hugged to Draco's chest as the Alpha gently rubbed his back. "There there, Harry, let it all out," the blonde said in a soft soothing voice wishing it was either Blaise or Ron who was dealing with this having no real idea what to do besides letting the Little cry his eyes out. After another ten minutes, Harry's sobs came to a stop to be replaced by choked whimpers as he wrapped his arms around Draco and nuzzled into his Alpha's chest.

 

"Sowwy Uncle," Harry said with a sniff

"And why are you sorry?" Draco asked seeing if Harry really understood what he had put their Clan through.

What the Little said next shocked him as Harry answered, "For being nothing but a buwden."

Draco shifted his arms to Harry's shoulders and as gently as he could pulled the other away from him so he could look the Little in his eyes as he asked, "Why do you think you are a burden?"

"Because without me Blaise could find a good Little and not a fweak," Harry said with a note of venom at himself as he raised a hand to his face and used the sleeve of his robe to blow his nose a little.

"You are not a freak, Harry," Draco said as he took his left hand off Harry's shoulder to reach into his robes and pull out a handkerchief to clean Harry's face with.

 

"Yes I am, I stopped Voldy, I should not be a stupid Little," Harry said repeating the word Sammy had told him the Slytherin Third-Year had said weeks ago. At that pronouncement, Draco's hands fell to his sides in shock. In some part of Harry's mind, he knew that since Draco had let him go, he could run away again but found he just did not have the energy as he sank to the floor at the Alpha's feet wrapping his arms around his knees. Draco knelt and placed a hand on Harry's head to ruffle the Little's hair noticing as he did so that Harry flinched as his hand approached him as if Harry expected Draco to hit him.

"I do not know how you got that into your head, but it should not matter if you defeated old Voldyshorts,' Draco said making Harry let out a small giggle "Or if you won the Hogwarts Gobbstones tournaments, you are what you are and we all care for you."

"You mean it?" Harry asked with a small hiccup as he looked up through his messy bangs at Draco.

"Do you think I would risk getting expelled for sticking that... Ginny to the wall if I did not care for you?" Draco said booping Harry on his nose eliciting another giggle. "Or do you think every single member of our Clan would have done all we could to try to find out what had caused you so much pain this last month?"

"I guess not," Harry said looking down.

"You guess not, I ruined my Ice Prince reputation as I basically begged any student that you might have met on your quest to find Sammy what had caused you to pull away from us," Draco said with a hint of his old sneer before he leaned in and kiss Harry's forehead. Harry was shocked having never known that the other had done that just to find out what was wrong.

 

"I am sowwy Uncle Dway," Harry said lurching forward and hugging Draco causing them to fall backward onto the floor.

"I am not the only one you should be saying that to Harry," Draco said as he rubbed the other's back for a moment before he lifted himself to his feet with Harry in his arms.

"They won't hate me, will they?" Harry asked almost in a voice so low Draco would have missed it if the Little was not clinging to his chest.

"Of course not, yes they might have been hurt but we all love you little one and after I explain those nasty old thoughts that had found their way inside that head of yours," Draco said placing another kiss on Harry's forehead. "They will understand, now do you want to walk in by yourself or have me carry you?"

 

After a moment's thought, Harry lifted his face from Draco's chest to answer, "Cawwy me, my legs feel like jello." With a smile, Draco turned around and pushed the door to the Hospital Wing open with his back before turning around so that Harry could see the others surrounding Blaise on a bed with his left leg raised in a cast to help the Skele-Gro he had taken. Seeing his Papa laying in bed with the cast Harry gave a soft cry making the others turn to look at him, but he had eyes for no one except his Papa as he wiggled in Draco's hands to be let down his legs feeling fine. With a soft smile, Draco lowered Harry to the ground as soon as his feet touched the floor rushed to his Papa with tears in his eyes. The others moved aside as Harry nearly jumped onto the bed beside his Papa only to be stopped by Ron who pulled him into a tight back hug while Theo and Hermione looked on with bated breath in case Harry was still the moody person from the last month. Both breathed a sigh of relief as Harry let Ron hug him he almost melted in the Omega's grip as he was pulled onto Ron's lap.

"Harry, don't you have something to say to everyone?" Draco prompted as he joined them.

"I am sowwy for making you wowwy," Harry said.

"And?" Ron promoted only for Draco to smack the back of his head and shake his own to let the matter drop mouthing the words "later" to everyone thankfully Harry was too distracted as he gazed at his unconscious Papa to hear the question.

Chapter 7: Look Papa I am a.....

Notes:

Just a short fluff piece after the downer that was the last chapter.

When Madam Pomfrey came to take off Blaise's cast, Draco asked her to look after Harry for a bit so he could talk to the rest of their clan. The Matron agrees and even permits Harry to climb onto the bed next to his Papa. Harry snuggled into his Papa's chest, who was still sleeping from his earlier treatments as the others left the room. Despite not waking up, Blaise wrapped his arms around Harry and held him tight as a smile came to his face as he felt complete at last.

Outside the room, Draco quickly informed everyone what Harry had told him about the reason he had been fighting off his Little Space. Ron and Hermione were horrified at the thoughts that had been dominating their friend's mind before Draco gave them all some jobs. The blonde Alpha had Ron stay in the Hospital Wing to watch over Harry and Blaise, Hermione was to go collect Sammy from their rooms, and Theo was tasked with seeing if Professor Flitwick could recall who had found Sammy in the first place after Harry had lost him. "And what will you be doing?" Ron asked.

"I have a feeling, I am going to have to talk to the Headmistress about using magic to stick your sister to a wall," Draco said.

 

"Wait.  What?!?" Ron asked his Alpha.

"When I found Harry earlier, I saw him with her and she was telling him all he had to do was to not go Little for the rest of the day he would be free of his Little Side.  While leaving out that it would be gone due to having Harry possibly go insane like Voldysnorts," Draco said.

"That bitch," Theo said turning to offer Ron an apology, only to find the clan's Omega's look of anger.

"Is She Still There?!?" Ron said in a voice that was three octaves lower than normal his body quivering in pure fury.

"When I left her she was, but someone might have let her down," Draco said loving his Mate even more for how protective he was of their Clan over his own family.
As if to answer the question, Professor Snape came to collect Draco for a meeting with the Headmistress.

 

Harry was unaware of all of this as he snuggled against his Papa's chest feeling better than he had for almost a month. Harry rested his head on Blaise's chest hearing the other man's heartbeat.  Harry found himself falling asleep and even though he was in the middle age range as he slept Harry lifted his right hand to his mouth and began to suck on his thumb. Such was the scene as Ron returned to find after the impromptu Clan meeting wishing he had a camera like Colin usually had around the neck to take a picture of the cuteness of the pair sleeping, even if Harry still had the strange look he had been using to keep his Little Side at bay.

Retaking the seat he had been in when Harry and Draco had arrived Ron, reached over and softly ruffled the Little's hair who gave a slight noise as he snuggled closer into Blaise's chest. Ron could not find the hurt he and the others had been feeling the last month as he looked at Harry slowly sucking his thumb as he sleep especially now knowing what had been in his best friend's mind.

Ron always knew that thanks to the Muggles he had lived with until their fifth year, Harry had suffered from some issues with his self-worth, but he would never have guessed it would have been so bad that it almost caused Harry, with the help of his own bloody sister, permanent mental and physical damage. "We will show you that you are not only loved but worthy of it," Ron said as he leaned in and placed a kiss on Harry's forehead. Soon Hermione arrived as well with not only Sammy but also a hat that Neville and Luna had given the Clan last week that they thought would help get Harry into Little Space. The two submissive watched Caregiver and Little sleep cuddled up together as they discussed what they had learned. Out of the pair, Blaise was the first to wake up looking down at Harry with a gentle smile as Ron and Hermione passed on the info that Harry had shared with Draco.

 

"Poor little guy," Blaise said as the sound of his voice woke Harry up.

"PAPA," Harry screamed making Blaise wince at the loud noise nearly right into his ear.

"Morning Harry, you had me worried," Blaise said gently kissing the boy on his forehead.

"I sowwy Papa," Harry said turning to look away from his Papa and looked into a mirror. "Ah a monstew," he cried seeing himself making the others let out chuckles. They guessed it would make sense to the Little to see himself in the mirror with his hair spiked out in random directions and dyed jet black with magic makeup on in strips of alternating red and black. That morning knowing that today would be the toughest to stay out of his Little Space he tried to base his look on a Muggle idea of a demon.

"No Harry that is just your reflection," Hermione said.

 

"Oh is it Halloweenie, are we going twickewtweats?" Harry asked bouncing in the bed.

"Hermione?" Blaise asked always glad for the girl's knowledge of the Muggle world.

"In the Muggle World Halloween, rather than a day to recall and communicate with those that have died like we do on Samhain," Hermione said. "The Muggles act as if they believe in both Magic and Magical Creatures as young Muggles and Littles dress up in costumes going to houses and saying " Trick or Treat" to get free candy."

"That sounds bad for their teeth," Draco said entering the Wing.

"They don't eat all the candy right away," Hermione said rolling her eyes at him. "And no Harry it is not yet Halloween."

 

"Then why I dwessed as Monstew?" Harry asked tilting his head at his reflection. None of them had an answer for that not wanting him to think about what he had struggled through outside of his Little Space.

"Um, you were playing dress-up trying to scare us as an apology," Blaise said at last.

"Oh," Harry said before he turned to the others and let out a cute "WOAR." The others pretended to be scared with Draco even clutching his chest.

 

"Well we should get rid of scary little monsters," Draco said as he took out his wand and waved it over Harry getting rid of the Magical Make-up and hair dye leaving Harry back to his normal self. "No more scaring us, Harry," Draco said pulling the Little into a tight hug.

"I pwomise," Harry said holding out his left hand with his pinky out. Draco looked at it in wonder for a moment before Harry used his right hand to lift Draco's hand and intertwined the pinkies together. "I pwomise with all my heart to scare my family no more," Harry said before he leaned forward and kissed the intertwined pinkies. Hermione seeing Draco's confusion, leaned in and whispered something into the Alpha's ear.

Nodding in understanding Draco bent forward and kissed the fingers as well making Harry beam at him. Harry pulled his finger away from Draco before offering it to Ron who quickly held out his pinky to the Little. Once he had made a pinky promise with everyone, Harry leaned back into his Papa with a smile on his face. As Blaise wrapped his arms around his waist Hermione reached into her bag and pulled out Sammy and Luna's hat.

"SAMMY," Harry cried as he pulled his friend to his chest.

"I have missed you, Harry," Sammy said, "why have you been ignoring me?"

"I sorry, Sammy, I was scawed," Harry said making the others wince a little at his pronouncement.

"We were all worried for you, everyone would come and tell me about what you were doing. And I got to sleep with Papa," Sammy said with a hint of pride in his voice.

 

"Lucky," Harry said with a pout having only slept with Papa when he fell asleep in his arms.

"I have a gift from, Luna and Neville as well," Hermione said as she placed the hat on his head.

"A gift from Uncle Neville and Aunt Luna," Harry said happily looking back in the mirror to see the strange brown hat she had placed on his head.

"I heard it is Magic," Papa said leaning in to whisper in Harry's ear.

"Magic what does it do, please tell me, Papa," Harry said once more bouncing in the bed.

 

"Think of an animal," was all Papa said with a hint of a smile on his face. Harry did as instructed thinking of a cat, like Sammy, and gave a sound of surprise as in the mirror the lumpy brown hat transformed into a set of cat ears making him look like a Kitty.

"Look, Papa, I am a kitty," Harry said with a happy giggle as he lifted his right hand to his face and began to act like a kitty.

"Yes you are, and what a cute kitty you are," Blaise said as he scratched Harry under his chin eliciting not a purr but a giggle from the boy.

"What say we take our kitty back to our rooms," Draco said.

"Meow," Harry said as Ron with the use of a Feather-Light Charm, since he lacked the strength of a dominant, lifted Harry into his arms. Harry wrapped his arms and legs around Ron's torso like a koala which led to the ears changing to match.

 

Arriving back at their dorms, they found Theo waiting for them. "I see we lost a Little but gained a Koala," the tall pale boy said.

"Silly Uncle, it's me," Harry said wiggling to get down and running over to hug the other male.

"Oh, Harry what a surprise," Theo said as he hugged Harry back, lifting the Little off his feet, and spun around with him a couple of times making Harry giggle. Hermione came over and stood on her tiptoes to kiss her partner before she whispered something to him as Theo placed Harry back on his feet. The meaning became clear as Harry held out his pinky to offer the same promise to the last of his family. Once that was taken care of Harry headed up to his room to get some of his toys before anyone could stop him. As he opened his door they all winced as Harry cried out in fright to see his once brightly colored room dark and brooding with the character wallpaper in taters with many cuts at neck level, but even worse than that there was not a single toy in the room.

 

"Papa, I got stolled from," Harry said as he ran Blaise and buried his head in the other's chest.

"It is alright, Harry," Blaise said as the others came forward into a large group hug.

"Yeah your toys are over there," Ron said directing the Little to look in the corner where the toys the group had repurchased after Harry had destroyed the last set.

"Also after what has happened, we have decided that there is to be a room change.  From now on you will be with your Papa, and Theo will have your old room," Draco said.

 

"You mean I will be with Papa at night?" Harry asked

"Yes Kitten," Blaise said with a wide grin as Harry's hat took on the look of a cat again..

"But what about Uncle Theo, that woom is scawy," Harry said.

"Don't worry pup," Theo said making Harry think of a doggy causing the hat to shift again giving him two floppy black ears as Snoopy had. "I can fix it with my Magic."

"Oh wights," Harry said smacking himself in the face as he sometimes saw the students do. "Owie," he said making the other giggle as Blaise leaned over and kissed where he had smacked himself. "Hey Papa, look now I am a puppy," Harry said catching sight of his ears in the mirror on the back of the door leading to the downstairs bathroom.

 

"Yes, you are would puppy like a treat?" Blaise asked with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Yes, I mean woof," Harry said with a vigorous shake of his head.

"Well first of our puppy is going to get some kisses, Blaise said as he leaned in and kissed Harry's cheek as the others came over to give him some as well " And then he will get some puppy chow." With a wave of his wand, Blaise summoned a small baggy full of the treat and had Harry sit on his lap as he ate it kicking his feet in joy.

"I hate to be a stickler, but what about our classes for today?" Hermione asked making everyone but Harry, who was still enjoying his snack, and Draco wince.

 

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you after my talk with Professor McGonagall, Ginny was given detentions until the Yule for what she tried to do to Harry.   She also gave us a free day to reconnect with each other," Draco said running a hand through his platinum-blonde hair.

"Play Day?" Harry asked excitedly.

"Yes, a play day, Kitten, no nasty lessons," Blaise said making Hermione scowl at him.

"Yeah," Harry said clapping his hands and releasing a small cloud of powder sugar from the puppy chow dust that had been on his hands. For the rest of the afternoon, the group did not leave their rooms once as they all played with Harry who refused to take off his new hat and had even asked for a tail so he could be a real kitty or puppy. After nearly a month of worrying about him, the Clan was happy to play any game he wanted or just watch as he pretended to be a kitty.

 

Though they had a kitchen in their rooms, the Clan decided to head down to the Great Hall for supper with Harry sporting cat ears carried down in his Papa's arms. As the Hogwarts students saw that Harry was back in Little Space, it made almost everyone's day. Arriving at the Great Hall before they headed off to their normal spots at the Slytherin table, Blaise led them over to where Luna was sitting at the Ravenclaw table to thank her for her gift. "Look, Aunt Luna, I am a kitty," Harry said seeing her and using his hand like a paw again rubbing his cheek.

"You certainly are, my little meow-meow," she said ruffling his hair making him purr for a moment before he giggled making the people sitting around her reach out to "pet the Kitty" that Harry was.

Chapter 8: Disney and punishment

Summary:

Letters home and talking about Little Harry's punishments/rewards.

Lupin Manor, formerly known as Black Manor.

 

Sirius was sitting with his Mates trying to enjoy his breakfast but worried about his Pup, from the letters he had been getting from the Clan Harry had created, Harry was close to going a full month without slipping.  This would mean not only Harry could lose his mind, but he would be sent to a special ward in Azkaban for his own and other's protection. Sirius could not lose his Pup again, it was hard enough after Voldy had died leading him and his Mates to guess Harry would present as a submissive knowing that in just a couple of years, he would no longer be needed.

That had been harder than Sirius thought especially at the Muggle restaurant and meeting the members of the Dursley family.  Sirius had wanted to rip them apart with his bare hands, and he had not appeared to be the only one as both elder Weasleys, Narcissa, and even Snape looked like they wanted to intervene but knew if they did it could cause problems down the line. If the submissives, apart from Harry, saw that their dominants needed help, it would be harder for them to trust them and would cause strains in their relationships. But they had been happy with how Blaise and Theo had handled the whale of a man and his son.  Without either new dominant knowing, Sirius had worked with both his Mates and cousin, Narcissa, to bring up charges against the pair leaving them to be arrested and sent to a Muggle prison for no less than five years for Little abuse.  Another six years had been added to the sentence for abuse of a minor for what they had done to Harry when he had been living with them thus getting Petunia arrested with that last charge as well.

 

Suddenly an owl they have come to recognize as belonging to Draco arrived with a letter and a small package in its talons. Taking the burden from the eagle owl, Sirius unrolled the letter and read letting out a happy cheer as he did so. "Good news, I take it, Siri?" Remus asked.

"Well, it seems that Harry was finally able to slip, and before you ask they said it had nothing with Hermione's plan," Sirius said. Just last week Hermione had recalled something about Muggle Littles all loved films from a company known as Disney, and with the help of Arthur to make a Muggle VCR and Television work, they tested to see if this Disney would work on a Magical Little. Making sure Fred was not in his Little Space, George began to play a video known as Beauty and the Beast. 

And in less than half an hour, Fred had slipped and was singing along with it. Arthur was forced to make a second TV and VCR for Harry since there was no getting the first one away from Fred. With Hermione's help, they also selected some videos based on Sammy, hoping that it would get Harry to slip. "It seems yesterday due to his worry over Harry, Blaise fell a flight of stairs and ended up in the Hospital Wing," Sirius said.

 

"Is he alright?" Tonks asked worried about her adopted son's Dominant.

"He is fine, but it led to Draco taking matters into his own hands and going after Harry. When Draco collected Harry he finally found out what had happened. Draco guesses that when Harry had lost track of Sammy, it overheard a conversation that it shared with Harry about some students saying it was a shame that Harry was a Little since he had defeated Voldy," Sirius said.

"The bastards," Remus said causing the dinner table to shake with the effort to control his magic. Tonks reached over and placed her hand on her Alpha's arm to help calm him down as Sirius continued.

"Well, Harry due to this possible conversation got it into his mind that he was a burden and had tried his best to get Blaise to end their boding and find a "good Little that was not a freak" in his own words. Also, Draco earned detention for sticking Ginny to the wall, while she got detentions until the Yule break," Sirius said.

 

"Why?" Remus asked finally calming down.

"According to Draco, she was "helping" Harry stay Big by telling him he would be rid of his Little Space once and for all if he could make it through the day, but on the other hand, Ron chose the Clan over her. I think she needs to see a better Mind Healer or at least see them more often do you think they would allow us to help them pay for it?" Sirius asked looking at his Alpha for permission.

"All we can do is ask," Remus said giving his Beta a smile that made Sirius blush.

 

"Well, due to the events of the day McGonagall let them out of class for a play day. Since they were free, Hermione brought out the Disney movies and Harry is utterly in love with them they even sent some pictures," Sirius said as he passed over the contents of the package which were several Magical Photos of Harry with some cat ears dancing around. "He seems rather taken with the movies Oliver and Company and the Aristrocats," Sirius read as he pulled out the last item from the package. "Wow, one has to respect Hermione's Magical talent, she was able to cast a spell to give them a photo of Harry singing along with one of the movies." Turning the last photo to the others Sirius tapped the side and Harry's voice started to fill the room.

"Why should I wowwy, why should I cawe, I may not have a dime but I got Stweet Savoiw faiwe" Harry's voice sang out making his adopted parents aww at it.

"Even his little speech impediment is too cute," Tonks said as Harry began the next verse.

"The whythm of the city. But once you get it down. Said, then you can own this town. You can weaw the CWOWN!" Harry said throwing his head back on the word "Cwown" to sing it at the top of his lungs making his parents chuckle at him.

"Well, I am glad he likes it," Remus said as the three just sat and watched the clip again the rest of the letter utterly forgotten.

 

Harry did like the videos loving to watch them anytime they were in the Clan's rooms even getting his Papa and the others, no matter how reluctantly, to sing along with him. Draco and Ron were somewhat happy when after a couple of days of this they had to Ward themselves in their room for a Heat to get away from the same movies over and over again. They loved Harry with all their hearts, but it still wore on them to see the same thing over and over again, and had tried to get him to watch other movies like a copy of Beauty and the Beast that Fred had sent them since it had become his favorite Disney movie giving him and Harry something to talk about.

The pair had even cheated a little as they stayed in their rooms an extra day just to enjoy each other's company without the others around. When they finally had no other choice, the Mates shared a sigh and took down their Wards to rejoin the rest of the Clan expecting to hear Harry's singing one of his two favorite songs while wearing Luna's gift. So it was an utter shock to find everyone in the main room just doing homework. "Oh hey, Ron, Draco that was longer than usual wasn't it?" Harry asked looking up from the paper he was working on.

 

"Um, what do you mean?" Ron asked back trying to hide a blush.

"Well, I thought a Heat only lasted maybe a day or two at most, and you have been in your rooms for four," Harry said tilting his head at them with a look of worry on his face.

"You are not wearing Luna's hat," Draco said suddenly noticing it.

"No I have been out of Little Space since the day after you went into Heat," Harry said still with a look of worry on his face at his friends.

"We are alright okay," Ron said plopping down onto one of the clan's couches.

"Then why did it last so long?" Harry asked as Blaise gave him a look that said, "Drop it," which would have worked if Harry had been looking at the other boy.

 

"To be honest avoiding you," Draco said without preamble as he sat next to his Omega earning him a glare from Blaise. "Well Little you, now you know we care for you, Harry, but I can only take those movies so much before I need a break," Draco said hoping that Harry outside of Little Space would not get upset with it.

"I would be mad, but Hermione showed me some clips of Little me singing, and I do have to admit I am a little tone-death," Harry said making the other chuckle at him. "Just make sure my Little side does not find the "Weasley is Our King" badge," Harry said smirking as both Draco and Ron blushed.

"Deal," they both said at once.

"Good," Blaise said clapping his hands together, "and now that we are all here, we have something to talk about."

"What?" Harry asked looking behind him to where his Papa sat.  Even though he was not in Little Space, Harry could not call Blaise anything else, it just felt strange.

"Well unfortunately your punishments," Blaise said making Harry blanch and look around at the others who started to nod their heads in agreement.

 

"But why, I have done nothing wrong?" Harry asked trying to stop himself from slipping and crying that they were being a bunch of meanies.

"I know Harry and it is not happening now, when I say your punishments, I mean for when you do something wrong while in Little Space and have to be punished for it. It is best to be talked about when you are Big to make sure we do nothing that would cross the line," Blaise said quickly seeing Harry's body tense up.

"Yeah, don't worry, we will not punish you as those Muggles did," Draco said wisely not saying the name of Harry's "family" for Blaise had shared his thoughts about them being a trigger for Harry.

"So no spankings or putting me into a closet?" Harry asked a hint of fear in his voice.

 

"Of course not," Blaise said instantly calming Harry down. "So if you are bad and need to be punished, what do you think is the best way for us to do it?"

"Well, I guess corner time, maybe take away a toy or something," Harry said a little surprised that they would let him choose his own punishments.

"What about no movies for a week?" Hermione suggested who was writing all this down so that Little Harry would be able to see it and not just think they were coming up with the punishments on the spot.

"I guess that would be alright," Harry said rubbing the back of his neck "but when I say toy, I don't mean Sammy."

"We could not do that," Theo said reaching over and patting his arm. "Everyone knows not to mess with a Little's first friend." Harry smiled at the tall pale-skinned Master

 

"What about rewards?" Harry asked.

"I guess it is only fair that if we discuss punishments, there should also be rewards," Blaise said reaching down and ruffling Harry's hair.

"How about Ice cream for supper?" Harry asked giving them all his best puppy dog eyes.

"When I said rewards I thought of something more practical and healthy, but maybe ice cream after lunch on a weekend with an extra scoop," Blaise countered.

"Deal," Harry said with a smile.

 

"I was thinking of a new board game or something," Ron said who found some of the games, Muggle and Magical that Little Harry had begun to collect to be quite fun.

"Yes," Harry said getting a little excited.

"Maybe a new stuffed toy?" Hermione suggest.

"Oh new friends," Harry said struggling to stay out of Little Space until the discussion was over.

"How about new movies, I think I found something you will like called My Neighbor Totoro," Draco said with a smile who had been working with Hermione to find other kid movies that had a cat, or cat-like creatures in them just for something else to watch.

 

"Sweet," Harry said bouncing on his knees before turning to Theo to see what he would suggest.

"Okay, I guess maybe letting you go flying with Draco or Ron?" Theo asked looking at the Alpha and Omega to see how they would take his suggestion but both seemed fine with it.

"That would be awesome could that also be extended to include me as I am now, I have not flown since last summer and am itching to feel the wind in my hair again?" Harry asked looking between his Papa and Draco who would be the ones to say yes or no being his Dominant and the leader of their Clan respectively.

"I guess we should work something out, you may not play Quidditch but you should be able to go flying with us when you are not in Little Space," Draco said after getting a nod from Blaise. Harry gave a cheer as the Clan went over ways that Harry could earn his rewards but also any behavior that would earn his punishments. The Clan finally asked Harry a question about some behavior Severus had seen in him mainly his reaction while in Little Space to any form of a nickname.

"I think it had to do with not learning my name until I was sent to Kindergarten," Harry answered with a shrug making Blaise wish he had hurt the Muggles even more than he had.

 

That afternoon Harry was sitting on his Firebolt as he flew around the empty Quidditch Pitch with Draco and Ron while his Papa watched him.  Theo and Hermione had both decided to spend the time in the library working on homework. It felt so good to be able to fly again making him envious of Fred for he could fly by himself while in Little Space due to his age range, but he knew it could be dangerous as the others had told him that he tended to be the lowest age of the mid-range around five years old and if he could not concentrate while flying he could get rather hurt. The only downside of flying was it was so much fun that Harry found himself slipping after only about ten minutes. Rather than try to fight it off, like earlier, Harry aimed his broom to the ground and went in for a landing. Shortly after his feet touched the ground Draco and Ron landed beside him. "Is everything alright Harry?" Ron asked.

 

"Did you see that Uncle Wonny, I flyed like a biwd," Harry said with a huge smile.

"Yes you did and you were a good boy coming in for a landing as well," Draco said helping Harry off his broom so the Little would not accidentally take off again. Since Harry was Little now, it was decided they would go back to their room, stopping by the library on the way to see if Theo and Hermione were done. As they walked to the Library, Harry began to sing to himself quietly at first but the further they went the louder he became.

"Shh Harry, we are about to enter the Library, you know the Quite Game place," Blaise said sticking a finger to his lips.

"Okay Papa," Harry said in his normal voice pretending to lock up his lips and throw away the key, which Ron "caught" and pocketed making Harry giggle.

 

The Clan found Theo and Hermione at their normal set of tables with books all around them making it look like they would not be done any time soon. As Draco asked if they wanted to eat in the Great Hall or their rooms Harry began to quietly sing to himself again but unlike the journey there his volume increased with every word.

"Evewbody wants to be a cat, because a cats the only cat that knows whewes it at," Harry sang, basically screaming the last word.

"Harry," his Papa said in an annoyed voice, "I told you, we have to be quiet in here."

"Kay Papa," Harry said only to switch to a different song and start to sing again, forcing Blaise to pick him up and take him out of the library sending an apologetic look to Madam Pince.

 

When the others returned to their rooms, they found Harry sniffling as he stood in the corner and Blaise sat on a nearby chair pretending to read. They knew Blase was faking since they could tell his eyes did not move over the book he held before him, with his wand beside him. No one made any mention of the punishment or went over to Harry since as his Caretaker it was Blaise's job to deal with it. The rest of the Clan had just sat down when the timer Blaise had set on his alarm went off. "Alright Harry your punishment is over, you can rejoin us," Blaise said in a soft voice as Harry quickly turned around and walked over to them.

"I am sowwy for being loud, Papa," Harry said still sniffling a little.

"Thank you very much for apologizing, Harry, would you like to cuddle with me until supper?"

"Yes Please," Harry said as he dove into his Papa's arms and hugged him tightly.

Chapter 9: Twick'n'tweats

Summary:

Hogwarts takes on the Muggle custom of Trick and Treating

As October began to progress, Harry while in his Little Space became more and more excited at the prospect of trick or treating and none of the Clan had the heart to tell him that the Magical World did not participate in such events. Not wanting Harry to get discouraged after spending almost the whole month of September keeping himself out of Little Space, Draco and Blaise went to see Headmistress McGonagall about it. As neither of the two dominants knew much about the holiday in question, Hermione explained the current practices of Halloween to the two Purebloods and the Halfblood Headmistress. Knowing that Albus had been really into bringing Muggle and Magical Cultures closer together McGonagall thought that it was a way to let the students see each other's cultures.

 

After the three left her office, she sent a message to the School Board with an idea to allow Trick or Treating this year as well as bringing back some Samhain rituals for some of the older students. Getting their approval for both parts of her plan, she calls a staff meeting for their thoughts on letting Harry, as well as the First and Second-Year students, trick-or-treating within the school grounds. Pomona brought up the idea of contacting both the owners of Honeydukes and Madam Rosmerta if they would be willing to give them a discount on both treats and Butterbeer for a party. The response back was heartwarming as both said they would come in person with the treats for the students.

 

The next morning at breakfast the teachers inform the students what would happen on Halloween that year that would be different from previous years. Revealing that rather than having to wear their school robes on the thirty-first everyone would be allowed to dress up in costumes with each year and House having a contest for the best one. At the end of the day's classes the First and Second Year students as well as Harry, if he was in Little Space, would be allowed to go around the castle to the teacher and staff's offices to go trick-or-treating while the older students would have a party in the Great Hall with food and drinks provided by Honeydukes and Madam Rosmerta.

 

Harry bounced in his seat excited to go twick'n'tweating for the first time as he thought about all the candies he would get trying to think of the cutest costume he could, not wanting to be the monster he had seen himself as a few weeks earlier in the Hospital Wing. He thought nothing could be better until arriving back at his family's house within the school, where Uncle Dway told him that due to being such a good boy recently, he could pick out everyone's costumes as well as his own. Though Aunt Luna would be making them none of them had good skill in making clothing. The closest being Draco himself but he was still getting used to his new greater strength as an Alpha and tended to break things without meaning to. And the less said about Hermione's skill the better as both Ron and non-little Harry recalled her attempt at making House Elf clothes a couple of years ago, which even with magic turned out to be nothing but misshapen lumps.

 

Harry took his task of selecting costumes for his family very seriously becoming so focused he slipped out of Little Space at some points to pick the right costume for his Clan, Neville, and Luna once the pair had gotten involved as well. His had been easy, going with a kitty that looked like a mix between Sammy and Oliver from Oliver and Company. After that he decided that people should have matching costumes so to go with his Oliver, Papa would wear a doggy costume like Dodger.

Harry felt this was the best due to getting a gift of a new friend from Papa earlier, a stuffed Doggy who when Harry had asked for a name was given the name of Yeontan, the name of his Papa's dog from when he was growing up. At first, Harry was scared that Sammy and Yeontan would not get along due to being a kitty and a doggy but the two became great friends telling Harry of the adventures they would have when he was not around. Unknowingly preventing Harry from hearing any negative comments about him being a Little from Sammy from then on.

 

As both, his and Papa's costumes came from the same movie, he decided the others should also be from the same movies as well. After that finding, the other's outfits were a breeze as Uncle Dray due to the movie he had given to Harry was going to be dressed as Totoro while Uncle Ronny would be dressed as Catbus. For Uncle Theo, Harry had wanted him to dress as No-Face from Spirited Away* but the others said it would be a bad idea as it made him look like a Death Eater which sounded scary so Harry chose something else. Harry finally decided on Freddie's favorite movie with Aunt Hermione dressing as Bell and Uncle Theo dressed as the Beast who after a simple spell would transform into his human form. For Uncle Neville and Aunt Luna, he decided they should dress up as Bernard and Miss Bianca from the movie The Rescuers.

 

After that, it was just letting Luna borrow the magic player so she could take time to study their looks to get them right as she made their costumes. Harry missed being able to watch his movies, but knew it was for a good cause for Aunt Luna promised to make his long-lasting that with some magic from Papa could be transformed into sleepy time onesi. Though she was designing eight Halloween costumes in less than a week, she pulled it off reminding Harry that she could perform magic with clothes as she tweaked his nose before handing him his costume. This was a slight mistake for as soon as Harry saw it he wanted to put it on despite Halloween being two days away. "But if you wear it now, you will ruin the surprise for everyone else," Papa said but it had little effect as Harry tried to remove his clothes to put on the Sammy suit.

"It will also make people sad since they can't wear theirs yet," Aunt Hermione pointed out making Harry stop not wanting to make people sad.

"Kay Aunty Hewmione," Harry said with a smile handing his outfit to Papa for safekeeping who gave the Witch a thankful nod knowing that once Harry put on the costume he would not want to take it off.

 

On Halloween, Draco regrets his decision to let Harry come up with their costumes for even in the cool weather of the day he just knew the fluffy outfit based on Totoro was going to be rather hot which would force him to use some magic on himself just to stay cool. However, after seeing his Mate dressed as a Catbus he knew things could be worse. Thanks to his costume, Ron had multiple limbs coming out of his body as well as a part on the back that looked like a single deck of the Knight Bus had been placed there. Thankfully Luna had left the area empty so Ron could use it as a backpack for his classes but still sitting in some of the seats would be hard for the Omega. He was glad that Harry had not gone with No-Face for Theo knowing that some, like Ginny, would not get the reference and think the boy was dressing as a Death Eater.  So they might try to get him expelled. Which would negatively affect both Hermione and their Clan as a whole.

 

Harry bounded alongside Papa as he looked at the students who had decided to dress up for the day. "Look Papa," was often overheard as Harry pointed out the costumes to his Papa which included: Pirates, Ninja, other Disney characters, and animals among other things that he did not recognize. Blaise for his part loved to see the difference between students who were Pureblood compared to Muggleborns in their outfits.   Since the Muggleborn Magicals in all years were the ones who tended to dress as characters from their world which Blaise only recognized due to the movies the Clan watched with both Little Harry and Big Harry. While the Purebloods had more general costumes and to be honest he preferred the Muggleborns ones a little bit more. Especially due to the reactions they got from people who did not get what they were dressed up as. He knew that when he placed his choice for the costume contest later, being unable to vote for anyone in his Clan, he would have to pick a Third-Year Hufflepuff dressed as a Stormtrooper from Star Wars, a Fifth-Year Ravenclaw that was dressed the Genie from Aladdin, the First-Year Gryffindor dressed as a Power Ranger and finally Tracy Davis who had dressed up as a female version of Sherlock Holmes.

 

It was one of the more memorable days of classes any of the Clan had ever had, to see their classmates no longer just in the regulation black school robes with their Hogwarts crest as well as the symbol of what they had presented as but as altogether different outfits. Even some of the teachers got involved as Professor Snape gave into his common nickname from all but the Slytherins as he dressed as Count Dracula, Professor Flitwick made his class laugh as he acted like Gollum from the famous novel Halfblood J.RR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. Headmistress McGonagall had even been spotted dressed up as the Good Witch from The Wizard of Oz.

However, not all got in on the festivities as Ginny Weasley, Crabbe, Goyle, and several others just kept to their normal robes making fun of the costumes that their classmates wore. Ginny even tried to force Harry out of Little Space asking how he could be so happy on the anniversary of his parent's murders only to scowl when he did not react to her taunt.

 

Unaware that ever since she tried to keep Harry from staying out of Little Space, the Clan, with McGonagall's permission, had cast a charm over Harry so that whenever he was in Little Space, he would be unable to hear her at all, and if she tried to reach him in another way they were allowed to make her all but undetectable to Harry.

All the teachers knowing it would be all but impossible to teach classes that day had turned it into a day of fun just like it had been back in the Clan's First Year with the playing of Muggle Halloween games like bobbing for apples and such. Harry did not always win the games but nothing could stop his fun as he had the best Halloween of his life both as a Little and Big. What was even better was thanks to getting to go "twick'n'tweating he was allowed to stay up later than his normal bedtime. So with a bag with characters from the Disney show Ducktales on it, Harry along with his Papa went to collect treats from the teachers and staff of the school giving them all smiles at the items they placed in his bag. "Remember, Harry, these are not to be eaten all at once and when we get back to the rooms, I will be keeping track of them so you don't have too much," Blaise said with a kind smile.

"I know, Papa," Harry said not that he thought there would be anything wrong if he ate more than a few pieces that he knew Papa would give him at a time. Also unknown to Harry as he was getting his candy the teachers would hand a full-size candy to Blaise for Big Harry to have just like the First and Second-Year students were given.

 

Before they turned in for the night, Blaise took a still energetic Harry, despite it being now almost an hour after his normal bedtime, to the Great Hall so he could join the rest of their Clan. Given a small cup of Butterbeer Harry smiled up at Aunt Hermione dressed in a simple blue smock as Granny McGonagall announced it was time to vote on the best costumes for each year, House, and any group costumes. She made it clear that a person could not vote for themselves or any groups they were part of. Sticking his tongue between his lips Harry wandered around the hall taking another look at the costumes being followed by his Papa as he tried to pick the best outfits. In the end, he picked one dressed up as Peter Pan, and of course his Papa for the two best costumes. Using a pen he was allowed to use as they had found he had trouble with using a quill. Taking his time, Harry cast his votes and gave them to Granduncle Snape before he let Papa take him back to their home and put him to bed.

As Harry was put down to sleep the rest of the Clan enjoyed the party as with a spell the votes were counted. To no one's surprise, Harry won a prize for the cutest costume. After the other prizes were given the Samhain rituals took place as the younger students retired to their dorm while the older students who were taking part in the ritual started to meditate before trying to communicate with those who had passed on.

Harry was unaware of all this as he slept curled up with Sammy and Yeontan having dreams of the three of them along with Freddie and Bingo Ate Bananas having a tea party all dressed up in Halloween costumes.

Notes:

*I know that Spirited Away was technically not released until after the events of the story in the main timeline.

Chapter 10: Quidditch and Hogsmeade

The weekend after the Halloween/Samhain holiday turned out to be a busy one as it held both the monthly Hogsmeade visit but also the Gryffindor/Slytherin Quidditch game. Since they had come into their Classifications, Draco and Ron had stepped away from Quidditch so they would not be accused of letting each other's team win. That paired with Harry being forbidden to play due to him being a Little and Ginny thanks to her having detention until the Yule leads to Dean Thomas being given the position of Team Captain. Dean had Ron and Harry who thankfully had been out of Little Space sit in during the tryouts as the pair helped the Seventh-Year Master pick out a whole new team of players. At least Slytherin could not complain about this action since Draco had done the same thing with the current Slytherin Team Captain helping Astoria Greengrass devise a training regime alongside the new Beater.

 

This would also be the first time that Little Harry had visited the Magical Village. During the year's first visit, he had been locked in his rooms trying to stay big while the October trip had found him in his Big Space trying to figure out what costumes the Clan would wear for the party. Blaise had planned the perfect day for the Little as he had contacted Fred and George for a playdate/tea party for the Littles. This had been easier than he had first thought as it seemed the Weasley Twins had been in talks with Zonkos, who had moved out of the town after the Death Eater attack last year, to take over their storefront. Each of the other couples in the St. Clair clan had decided to have the day apart from each other for their own personal dates.

 

So it was on Saturday morning the trip to the village, Harry, who had been dressed in his Oliver/Sammy Onsie which Blaise had enchanted to make it able to function as a fall coat, was bouncing on the balls of his feet waiting for them to reach the front of the line and go see this new place. In what felt like hours which in reality had really only been about ten minutes, he and his Papa were headed to the Village. Having gotten used to the castle by now, Harry looked around as he skipped down the path holding onto his Papa's hands to not get lost feeling super excited for the weekend.

 

Though it was only the first weekend of November it had snowed during the night making Harry stop when they reached the entrance to the Magical Village. "It looks like a postcard Papa," Harry said happily seeing the snow-covered roofs on the buildings before him. Blaise could only smile at the look of wonder on Harry's face as the Little used his teeth to take off his left mitten so he could grab some of the light snow on the ground. Blaise worried a little that Harry was going to make a snowball to throw at someone only for Harry to stand up straight and toss the snow he had gathered into the air making it "snow" on himself. "Thanks for bwing me Papa," Harry said turning to look into Blaise's face with some snow caught in his hair making it sparkle.

"You are more than welcome, Harry, but we are not done yet," Blaise said as he gently pulled Harry to the Three Broomsticks. Having called ahead knowing the place was always packed with students, Blaise was able to collect some Butterbeer for the pair. Harry who had fallen in love with the tasty sweet drink at the Halloween party gulped his small cup down in one go before giving his Papa some Puppy dog eyes.

"If you are good we might stop back before we head back up to Hogwarts," Blaise said booping Harry's nose.

"I be good, Papa," Harry said standing up straight like he had seen Uncle Dray do when he was being all adulty.

 

Blaise let out a chuckle as he led Harry away from the crowd doing his best to avoid Harry catching sight of Honeydukes since he still had a lot of Halloween candy left from the week before. Making his way down the high street, Blaise checked the time on his watch before heading to their destination. Ever since Sirius Black had been proven innocent of the crimes that had landed him in Azkaban the true story of the Shrieking Shake had been told.  At least to those allied with Remus so the town could keep the legend of the place alive.  Since it had been built for Remus Lupin's use the place had been left for him in Dumbledore's Will. It had not taken much for Blaise to convince Harry's adoptive parents to let him clean it up for the planned playdate with Fred. Making sure no one else was around, Blaise took out his wand and cast the spell that Remus had chosen to unlock the door as he led Harry inside.

 

Helping Harry take off his boots, Blaise returned the Halloween costume-turned-onesie to its original state as he led Harry into the den where the Weasley twins were waiting. Having been told of his dream after the Halloween Party, Blaise had passed on to Fred as they planned the playdate to bring Bingo Ate Bananas as well as wear a costume. Harry gave a happy squeal seeing his dream come true as he took in the tea set, Bingo Ate Bananas as Freddie dressed as Cogworth. Rushing to the open seat at the small circular table where the tea party was happening Harry could not stop the smile on his face as his Papa and Georgie poured the tea for the two Littles.

 

Instantly Harry and Fred began to talk about Disney movies trying to convince the other that the movie they liked was the better one. They both agreed that 101 Dalmatians and Robin Hood are in their top ten list of movies. As the pair received their second cup of tea and some small cakes from their Caregivers the conversation switched topics. "I winned Fweddie," Harry said proudly puffing his chest out.

"What did you win, Harry?" Fred asked making sure to feed some cake to Bingo Ate Bananas.

"The Halloween Pawty, I winned best costume even ovew Papa and Petew Pan," Harry said still proud of himself. "It my fiwst time I evew winnid anything."

 

"Cool, what did you get," Fred asked with a smile happy for Harry though a little sad that the boy had never won anything before according to his current memory.

"Silly Fweddie this tea pawty," Harry said making as if to playfully smack the other boy only to stop when he recalled not to hit people.

"Cool," Fred said again deciding to ask Blaise or and the others if there had been any other item for winning. "Oh yeah we have a gift for you as well," Fred said as George took out a small package for the other Little.

 

Harry was shocked at getting a gift for it was not his birthday or holiday as far as he knew but life with his Papa and the others had been different from living with the Dursleys as could get. Seeing Georgie give a long box to Freddie who pushed it across the table at him Harry marveled at the wrapped box. Once more he saw the strange ball with wings like from Nana St. Clair's cookie cutters decorating the paper before he ripped it all off and opened the box. "A TAIL," Harry cried out in joy "Now I can be really kitty." Harry leaps down from his seat and around the table to give Freddie and Bingo Ate Bananas a hug before he gives one to Georgie. "Can I weaw it now?" Harry asked looking up at his Papa with puppy dog eyes again.

"Of course, you can, Harry," Blaise said taking the Magic tail out of the box and attaching it to the back of Harry's clothes. Thanks to some spells put on it by both the Weasley twins and Molly, the tail was able to sort of read Harry's emotions and act accordingly it would also interact with the hat Luna had given him and change to match. As soon as it was attached the tail began to swing back and forth showing how happy Harry was at the gift.

 

Harry spotting it as it wagged tried to catch it leading the Little from basically chasing his own tail spinning in place as Blaise and the others let out chuckles which turned into laughs as Harry finally caught it. Blaise was so happy that he had decided to bring the Clan's camera to the meeting as he had caught the whole thing on film. Letting the camera fall back onto his chest Blaise pulled out Luna's hat to show Harry its other function as he lowered the hood of the onsie to place the hat on the Little's head. Almost instantly both hat and tail took on the appearance of actual orange cat ears and tail making Harry giggle. "Now I weally Kitty," Harry said happily seeing himself in a mirror. Harry smiled for a moment before it fell from his place turning to his Papa to ask "What about, Fweddie?"

"What about me, Harry?" Fred asked.

"You no be kitty with me?" Harry asked as he started to remove the kitty ears and tail so his friend would not feel left out. But thankfully as usual his Papa came in to save the day like a real-life Superhero as he cast a duplicate charm on both objects so that not only Fred had his own but the two Caregivers had them as well. Harry smiled seeing them all as animals with himself as a kitty, Fweddie as a puppy while Georgie was a fox and Papa was a doggy.

After a bit, Fred turned to George and stated, "You know we should talk to Luna about this hat, I have a feeling there would be a market in it,"

"That is a good idea, Fred. We can contact her later," George said not wanting to distract from the tea party.

 

Before the party ended, the four played a hand of Go Fish using Chocolate Frog Cards while still wearing their tails and hats making it quite easy for all but Harry to read what was in a person's hand. The group played a couple of hands of the game making sure that Harry did not automatically win every time but not going all out in competition to make him lose interest in the game. On the last hand, Harry was surprised to find out that within his hand he had a match of cards which showed him. "Look Papa, I on the cawds," Harry said showing everyone that he was in his own hand.

Blaise looked surprised as he shot a look at the twins having only recently been made aware that Harry had been added to the cards by Sirius. Harry could not get over finding himself on the card that he stopped playing as he waved at himself and wished he could read the back of the card but apart from his own name he knew only a few of the words on the back of it. When asked for someone to read it to him his Papa said it was about him stopping a bad man and taking part in some game that he had won. Blaise had not shared with him the full message as he did not want the Little to get scared by being told about the Killing Curse or the tournament.

 

The twins let Harry keep both cards making the Little smile as he and his Papa headed back to Hogwarts to share with the others. Blaise recalling his promise and with Harry had been on his best behavior during the tea party picked up some more Butterbeer. Some of the younger students struggled to keep a straight face as the pair passed since both Harry and Blaise were wearing the Magical hats and tails seeing the imposing Seventh-Year Caregiver with dog attributes and a wagging tail, not that Blaise really cared if they laughed or not as long as Harry was happy.

 

The next day the entire St. Clair Clan sat together in the stands to cheer for both teams during the Quidditch match. It had caused a bit of shock to see Draco and Ron dressed up in outfits that looked like they had been old jerseys of both teams stitched together while Theo and Hermione dressed in their normal school robes but wore each other's scarves. Blaise who was not really a fan of Quidditch did not really change his outfit at all. Harry had also gotten into it as for the first time in a while, outside of classes, Harry was not wearing his onesie but red and gold patterned pants, a silver and green jacket as well as another gift from Luna which was the Lion head wearing a snake as if it was a crown. If Harry presses a button on the rim of the hat it would cause multi-colored bubbles to come out of the Lions' mouth as the snake gave a cheer. Somehow Luna had found out how to produce a snake hiss that once translated called out "Good Job" which even Big Harry had not found out how she had managed.

 

As they watched the game while the rest of the Clan focused on the main action, Harry showed that just cause he was a Little did not mean he had lost the skills that made him one of the best Seekers in the school since Charlie Weasley. After only about ten minutes into the game, Harry had spotted the Snitch and could not figure out why no one was doing anything about it. As the game progresses, Harry begins to get a little frustrated that no one is going after the pretty winged ball forcing him out of Little Space. "Ah come on open your eyes Dennis it is right there," Harry called out his eyes never leaving the Snitch as if flew around the pitch. As he called out Draco looked at where he was looking and gasped at finding the Snitch making him wish he could send a message to the Slytherin seeker, Jo Lesky, that would work better than just shouting like Harry was doing at the younger Creevy brother.

 

As the two former Seekers watched their replacements speed toward the golden ball after they finally spotted it, both boys stood from their seats cheering them on. The crowd finally noticing what was going on began to cheer on the two Fourth-Years as with one last shot of speed Dennis was able to grab the Snitch right before Jo did and the stands went wild. Without even thinking about it as he celebrated Dennis's capture of the Snitch, Harry turned around feeling his Papa behind him, and kissed the taller boy right on the lips. It took Harry a moment to realize what he had done before he drew away blushing a deep crimson pulling the hat he was wearing down and accidentally activating it. Hearing the snake hiss "Good job" caused Harry to blush even more wondering what the other's reaction to the kiss would be. "You big Harry?" Blaise asked using a hand to lift Harry's chin.

"Yes," Harry said simply still blushing as the others celebrated around them.

"It is alright Harry,' Blaise said sensing the small turmoil that was happening within Harry. "It was just a kiss."

 

"But it was highly inappropriate after all you are the Caregiver to my Little side," Harry said still looking away from the taller male.

"So, Harry you are not the first Little who has formed a platonic dating relationship with their Caregiver," Blaise explained with a soft smile at the flustered boy. "You do know that Caregivers can find relationships with others outside the ones with their Littles right?" Blaise asked and got an almost sad nod from Harry. "Well, most choose not to seek out other relationships being satisfied to care for their Little in both their forms. I am well aware that you would not feel the need to have sex or maybe even be repulsed by it but that is okay after all the romance in the Disney movies we watch they have found love but never do anything." Blaise said thankful more than ever for the Disney movies.

"You mean it?" Harry asked in such a low voice it was nearly lost under the sounds of celebration from the game happening around them.

"Of course, Harry," Blaise said bending a little to give Harry a quick chasten kiss causing Harry to blush even deeper red even outdoing Ron's hair.

Chapter 11: Down with the Sickness

Summary:

Harry gets sick

Ron's POV

After going through his November Heat, Ron woke to the worst flu he had ever had. He had wanted to punch Draco as his Mate had gotten rather excited at his sickness, due in part to an old wives tale of when a Male Omega got sick after a Heat they were pregnant. He was not sure if the tale was true or not all he knew was the flu was so bad he had been bed-bound for nearly two weeks.

 

He had finally got out of his room the night before, though he still was confined to the Clan's shared dorm with Draco and the others passing his homework to him. Since he was home the Clan was able to give Neville a break in watching Harry while they were in Potions Class. So it was Ron who was resting in the main room with a wet cloth over his forehead to curb a headache while Harry, in his Little state, was coloring at the table before the Magic TV which was thankfully off at the moment.

 

Ron must have fallen asleep for he suddenly woke up to Harry saying, "Uncle Wonny, I don't feel too good." Taking the cloth, long since dry, from his forehead he sat up and saw that Harry's nose was running a little. Ron still had some Pepper-Up Potions to help him get over his flu that he had not opened yet. Picking up his wand Ron summoned a small disposable cup and poured just enough of the health potion to fill only the bottom of the cup handing it to Harry.

"Here you go, Harry, drink this and you should feel better in no time," he said with a small smile.

"Thanks, Uncle Wonny," Harry said lifting the small cup to his mouth and drinking it in one go before wincing at the taste. "That tasyted like badnees," Harry complained making Ron let out a weak chuckle as he ruffled Harry's hair,

"That is how you know it is working Harry," Ron said letting out a cough.

"Okie," Harry said as he went back to his small table to resume his coloring.

 

Ron cast a low-powered Aguamenti to remoisten his cloth and put it back on his forehead hoping his headache would end soon. A few moments later his eyes shoot open and he rips the cloth from his head as he hears the sound of Harry being violently ill. Looking over his heart breaks a little seeing Harry curled into a ball grasping his stomach and crying. The surface of his table was covered in sick including Sammy, which Ron cleaned as best as he could with the Scourgify spell. As he went to comfort Harry he was finally able to understand what Little was crying as he rocked back and forth holding his stomach. "I want Daddy," Harry sobbed shocking Ron a little for he knew that the Little referred to Blaise as his Papa, not his Daddy, but just chalked it up to what he was experiencing.

"Don't worry, Harry, I will get him," Ron said as he sent out two Patronuses one to the Hospital Wing for Madam Pomfrey while the second one he sent down to the Dungeons to let Blaise know.

 

As he waited for help to arrive, Ron just sat next to Harry gently rubbing his back who was alternating between sobs and large hacking coughs as if he was about to puke again. Not wanting the vomit to get anywhere else, knowing even after his cleaning spell they would need to give Sammy a more complete cleaning, Ron summoned Harry's cauldron to use as a sick bucket. Knowing that since Harry had been classified as a Little the cauldron had not been used since it was cleaned at the end of the last school year, he felt it was large enough to contain any sick Harry produce.

 

A few minutes after he had placed the cauldron the door opened and the school Matron rushed in with her Healer's bag. "What's the emergency, Messer Weasly?" she asked setting down her bag beside his homework.

"It's Harry, Madam Pomfrey," Ron said, "he told me he was not feeling good so I poured some of a sealed Pepper-Up Potion into a cup and gave it to him. What?" he asked seeing the horrified look on her face.

Rather than answer Pomfrey pulled out a wand and cast a spell on Harry that made him fully empty the contents of his stomach causing the Little to cry out in pain again. "I know you were trying to help him, Messer Weasley, but just like a normal child of Harry's Little age he is too young to handle most health Potions no matter the size of the dose."

 

Ron's heart plummeted thinking he had really hurt his friend, "I did not do anything that would cause lasting damage did I?"

"No, Messer Weasley, the only thing that will have happened is that rather than help heal his cold or flu the Potion will actually make it worse," she said placing a comforting hand on the Omega's shoulder. "That is why I am trying to clear out his stomach the more time any of the Potion is in his system the longer he will be sick."

"I want, Daddy," Harry whined between heaving breaths still bent over the cauldron. With a simple wave of her wand, Pomfrey cleaned the sick out of the cauldron as Blaise rushed in with a look of worry on his face.

"What's going on?" the dark-skinned Caregiver asked as he rushed to Harry's side.

"DADDY!" Harry called turning to Blaise for a moment before he shifted back to the cauldron to let loose another spew of sick as Blaise took over rubbing his back.

 

"It seems unknowingly Harry was given some Pepper Up while Little," Pomfrey said placing herself between the pair of boys in case Blaise gave his anger at his Little being harmed by Ron.

"What can we do about it?" Blaise asked in a worried tone.

"I am afraid there really is nothing you can do just give him plenty of bed rest and keep up with his fluids, especially after this," she said taking out a bottle of just plain water and some small packets. "He may not be able to keep much down for the rest of the day so use these. I found that the Muggle drink mixes can be used to help both kids and Littles' upset stomach after he throws up. I will let the Headmistress know that you will be out of classes for a while to take care of him." Pomfrey said handing over the packets before leaving them alone.

 

Blaise gently pulled Harry into his arms as the Little wrapped his arms and legs around the Caregiver feeling horrible and slightly dehydrated. As Blaise carried Harry to their room, Ron sent the cauldron-turned-sick bucket after them as he took the water bottle and a packet and began to mix them. Reading that the final product would be a grape juice to soothe upset stomachs ages 3 and up. Despite Madam Pomfrey's assurances and Blaise not getting on his case, Ron still felt guilty for what he had accidentally brought about, though, in the back part of his mind, he was glad he had found out about what a health Potion did to a child or Little before he had his own kids.

 

Shaking his head to get rid of that line of thought, Ron grabbed a straw, using his magic to change it into a crazy shape, placed it into the bottle of grape juice, and took it to Blaise and Harry's room. As he walked in the Omega saw that Blaise had tucked Harry into his own bed rather than Harry's with the cauldron in easy reach. Seeing Blaise read a story to the Little, Ron silently handed him the mixture before leaving them both alone.

 

Once back in the main rooms, and with his worry about Harry pushing back his own feelings of being sick, Ron pulled out a small box and placed the drink mix packets in it so they could easily find them when they needed them. He then went to the kitchen to prepare some bottles of water from the actual water dispenser not wanting to find out that Littles had a negative reaction to water created by the Aguamenti spell. Then came the hard part and knowing that he would need help grabbed some Floo powder to place a call to the twins.

"Hey, Ron what's up?" George asked once the call went through.

"Oh hey George, I need to ask you and Fred about a Little's stuffed friend," he began.

"Why not just ask Harry?" Fred asked peeking over his Caregiver's shoulder.

 

"Well he is the reason I am asking about it," Ron said telling them about accidentally giving Little Harry some Pepper-Up leading to Sammy getting covered in sick. "I did clean him with a Scourgify, but I don't want to take any chances of him not being clean enough or what he will say to Harry next time they talk," Ron said knowing better not to refer to the stuffed cat as a living creature in the presence of a Little.

"Well, first off just give Sammy a bath," Fred said pushing George aside a little "and next so he does not tell Harry how awful it was to be covered in sick just use a short-term Memory Charm."

"Yes, that will work, send our love to the little trooper," George said giving the Omega a nod as the call ended.

 

Ron walked over to where Sammy lay on his side beside Harry's coloring book, which he was just going to have to throw away cleaned or not, his inner Omega just demanded it and gently picked up the cat. Knowing that Harry could understand anything said in its presence, Ron said, "Well that had to be a little gross let's give you a nice bath." Holding Sammy in the crook of his arms, Ron walked over to the sink, and with skills he had not known he had actually had, bathed the stuffed cat as if it was a real creature before setting it on the countertop. "All clean now let's get you nice and dry," he said before casting a heating/drying charm on Harry's stuffed friend. Finally feeling a little foolish he pointed his wand at the cat's face and cast a short-term Memory Charm seeing his wand tip blow blue. "Let's get you to Harry, he must be missing you," Ron stated as he once more placed the stuffed orange cat into the crook of his arm and with an afterthought grabbed a new water bottle and mixture heading up to Blaise and Harry.

 

Normal POV.

 

Harry felt awful both too hot and sticky but also cold and clammy. But at least Daddy was with him now reading to him about a crazy school that was built to the sky and the classroom at the very top of it. The stories were very funny but it also hurt to laugh even with the grape juice he had been given, but at least his tummy did not hurt that much anymore. Taking another sip through the loopy multicolored straw, Harry took more grape juice when Daddy held it up for him. When his Daddy finished the next story in the book Harry asked a question that had been making his head and heart hurt ever since he had thrown up. "I am not in twouble am I Daddy?"

"Why would you be in trouble?" Blaise asked a little confused.

"Fow making such a nasty mess, and having Uncle Wonny clean it up fow me?" Harry said recalling something similar happening a long time ago.

"Of course not Harry, that type of mess you do not need to worry about cleaning we will always deal with it," Blaise said with a burst of anger at Harry's Muggle family making him once more wish he had done more than just tossed Vernon to the street. His statement caused Harry to give him a weak smile which only grew as Ron walked in with Sammy, another bottle of water, and a drink pack. As they had not finished the first bottle Blaise placed the new one to the side as he handed Sammy to Harry. The Little immediately took it into his arms giving it a tight hug before placing it beside him on the opposite side from the sick bucket.

 

Blaise did admit the red-headed Omega had some quick thinking using the cauldron for such a thing as it was designed to be easily cleaned and was able to hold more inside it than it looked like it could. With a slight nod of thanks to Ron, Blaise turned back to the book to begin to read chapter twenty-two entitled The Three Erics. He was glad he had taken Hermione's advice in getting Muggle Children books when purchased new Little items for Harry based on how much of a kick his Little was getting from Sideways Stories from Wayside School. Blaise had made it to the twenty-seventh chapter before he noticed that Harry had fallen asleep clutching Sammy tightly to his chest.

 

Placing a hand on his Little's head he found Harry still felt a bit hot so he summoned a small hand towel and cast a charm on it so it would feel cool placed it on Harry's forehead, only to swear that some steam came off of it. Feeling as if he could use a drink himself Blaise cast a Monitoring Charm on Harry as he got out of the chair he had occupied for the last hour or so and made his way to the main room. "How's Harry doing?" Hermione asked having seen him quietly close the door behind him.

"Still a little hot but at least he is sleeping now," Blaise said waking to the kitchen and grabbing himself a Butterbeer.

"Look man, I am really sorry if I had known that would have happened I never would have given him the Potion," Ron said from his spot curled in Draco's arms.

"It is alright Ron, I didn't even know that would happen, and I most likely would have done the same thing myself," Blaise admitted taking the open seat close to his and Harry's room. "Oh he loved those books you suggested by the way," he said turning to Hermione who had gone back to doing her homework sitting between Theo's lags.

 

 

Harry slept for a good three hours before he woke up with a small coughing fit which woke up Blaise who was sleeping in the chair nearby. After the fit ended, Blaise held out some more drinks for the Little, this one orange juice, which Harry almost finished in one go before needing help to leave the bed to go the bathroom. After helping to the toilet Blaise let Harry do his business as he went back to check the cauldron again to get rid of any vomit inside. Since there was none Blaise saw it as a good sign as he went back to help Harry wash up and return to bed.

 

Once Harry was tucked back under the covers Blaise checked him out again finding that Harry was just a little higher than his normal health temperature. "Do you want another drink, Harry?" he asked.

"Nu-un," Harry said with a shake of his head. "I am hungwy though."

"Let me go make you something then," Blaise said giving the other a gentle kiss on his forehead, feeling it was a lot cooler than when he had last touched it.

 

As Blaise made his way to the kitchens wondering what type of food to serve the sick Little that would be easy for them to take, he saw a bowl resting on the kitchen counter with a note attached. Lifting the note he saw it was from Ron.

Hey, Blaise, I made this for you in case Harry feels hungry during the night. Madam Pomfrey did say that Muggles did have some good methods for sick kids, and Hermione told us Chicken noodle soup helped her when she was sick as a kid. Everything is prepared so all you need to do is cast a Reheating Charm on it.- Ron

Silently thanking the members of the Clan again, Blaise grabbed the bowl of soup, a couple of spoons, and a hand towel (just in case) before heading back to his and Harry's room. As he pushed open the door he found Harry had shifted in bed so that he was sitting up talking to Sammy for a bit, discussing the book, before one of them noticed him lead Harry to smile up at him. "How he loved that smile," Blaise thought to himself as rather than take the seat he settled down next to Harry on the bed with the bowl in his lap.

 

Casting a quick Heating Charm on it until the soup began to steam a little Blaise dipped a spoon in to stir the soup before lifting it and holding it for Harry to eat from. Evidently, he heated it a little too much for Harry, who began to wave his hands in front of his mouth saying "Too hot, Daddy."

"I am sorry, Harry," Blaise said passing over a new drink, fruit punch before he held up the next spoonful of soup. Before holding it to Harry he breathed on it slightly to cool it off making Harry smile again as he ate the soup. The dark-skinned Caregiver had planned on just blowing on the second spoonful and using a Cooling Charm on the rest but seeing the smile from Harry he could not help but blow on the next few spoonfuls of soup again until it was a more manageable temperature for the Little.

 

Harry was able to eat over half the bowl of soup before he told Blaise he was full. Setting the half-full bowl to the side, under a Stasis Spell, Blaise picked up the book he had been reading to Harry and started where they had left off with Harry leaning into his side. After he finished the first book he grabbed the second book in the series, but only got through a few chapters before Harry fell back to sleep and snuggled against Blaise's side. Giving the Little another kiss on his forehead, Blaise himself settled down to sleep as well.

 

Blaise woke up at around eight the next morning to the movement sounds. Opening his eyes he saw Harry looking like his normal healthy self. "Well someone looks better," he said only to notice that his voice sounded odd.

"I was afraid of that," Harry said evidently out of Little Space.

"Afraid of what?" Blaise asked as he coughed a few times.

"Afraid that as you took care of my Little side, you might get sick as well," Harry said kissing Blaise's forehead this time. "We are still excused from classes with everyone still thinking I am sick so this time I shall take care of you," Harry said with a smile that Blaise could only happily return.

Notes:

I know Harry's sickness did not really last that long but did not feel up to writing it lasting more than a single night. Also, I know that I did not go much into the start of Blaise and Harry's QPR but have had the idea Harry getting sick for a while and saw him either getting it in Little Space or slipping into it after getting sick so did not see any advance in their relationship until I actually wrote a chapter for it.

Chapter 12: The "Big" Date

Summary:

Harry and Blaise finally have their date.

Harry was feeling rather frustrated with his Little Side at the moment, which had kept him Big for the last couple of days. Ever since Harry and Blaise had cared for each other while they had been sick, the pair had tried to go out on a date, only for his Little side to interfere each time. Harry just wanted to go on an actual date with Blaise and stay Big through the whole thing. The first time they had tried to date it had been the Hogsmeade visit right before the Yule Break, but seeing all the decorations had led to him easily slipping into Little Space. Their next attempt had been a weekend shortly after they had returned to Hogwarts and had started rather well. Harry had had a fun time during the date walking through the village hand and hand with Blaise. Maybe a little too much fun as he had slipped into Little Space and had ended up skipping down the lane asking his Papa for a toy he had seen in the window.

 

As Harry had found out in the months since his Presenting, apart from the time he had blocked the Little Side, he tended to stay Little most of the time. Only going Big maybe once every month or so. This fact alone made it hard enough to schedule time for a date, but when he kept slipping from the dates he was getting more and more annoyed which was, of course, keeping him Big. As he was Big it gave him time to plan on how to prevent himself from slipping during the date. He did not want to let his frustration about the situation be the reason he stayed Big on the date thinking that would make the event he was so looking forward to becoming a bad memory.

 

It took him nearly a week of staying Big before he suddenly came up with some inspiration leading him to have a meeting with Draco. Due to his possible solution for the date, Harry knew that he would need to get the approval of it first. Not wanting to spoil the surprise for Blaise that left Draco as leader of their Clan. To say the young Alpha was shocked at the request of the one-on-one Clan Meeting would be an understatement. Due to Harry being a Little, he was never expecting to attend a normal Clan Meeting, even while Big, so he had no idea about the proper protocol as he stepped into Draco and Ron's room to see the blonde Alpha sitting at his desk.

 

"Ah, Harry come in come in what can I do for you?" Draco asked swiveling his chair to face Harry.

"Hello Draco, I need your permission on something," Harry said standing awkwardly before he sat on the edge of the bed.

"If this is about you dating Blaise, of course, you have my permission," Draco said with a smile.

"Thank you, but it is more that than," Harry said, "we have already tried a couple of times, but each time I slipped into Little Space."

 

"Go on," Draco said after Harry was quiet for a few moments.

"I came up with an idea on how to not only make sure I am Big on the day for a date but also stop myself from slipping. From the plan I think I might need permission to actually do it," he stated as he began to tap one of his feet on the floor.

"Why would you need my permission for these plans?" Draco asked. "Would these plans hurt you in any way?"

"I don't think so, but my plans involved basically blocking my Little Side," he said.

"Exactly what are these plan's Harry?" Draco said leaning forward a little.

 

"Well, to stay Big I wish to be dressed in some of the clothing I wore from the time I was blocking myself. Nothing too extreme maybe just one of my darker robes with some of those spikes added to the shoulder blades," Harry said.

"I guess that would be alright but rather than the spikes what about a bracelet with, oh what was that creature's name... Oh yes Scar, on it," Draco suggested.

"That brings us to the other idea," Harry said. "I thought that to make sure I was Big on the day of the date I could put an alarm on my wand to wake up to."

"Since you say it connects to the item let me guess the alarm would be the song "Be Prepared," Draco said making Harry give him a slight nod.

 

They had found out just a bit ago when Remus had sent one of the newer Disney movies. As usual, the group had gathered around the magical TV and Video player to watch it. Little Harry had instantly fallen in love seeing another animated "kitty' on the screen giggling as the small kitties began to sing "I just can't wait to be King." Shortly afterward when the movie's antagonist began his song the change of tone and color on the screen had shifted Harry right back into Big Space. Since then just hearing the song had become a trigger to get him out of Little Space no matter how deep he was in it. After some talk with Hermione, Harry found one of the possible reasons that the song scared him was the hyenas goose-stepping as they marched past Scar dug up memories from his time in his Muggle school when they had learned about Hitler's Nazi forces. During his time in school watching the Nazi forces marching in such order had scared young Harry causing him nightmares for a couple of days, replacing the bright green flashes of his parent's deaths for a while.

 

"So not only do you want to block your shift but you want to purposely trigger yourself so that you wake up Big for your date?" Draco asked.

"I know it sounds bad, but I just want a real date with Blaise," Harry said with a pleading tone in his voice.

"I can understand that Harry, I just want to make sure you thought this all through," Draco said rolling his chair over so he could reach over and pat Harry's knee.

"He is worth it," Harry said grabbing Draco's hand with both of his. "Please let me do this Draco."

 

"Alright, Harry you have my permission, though if I may I have a suggestion to your plan," Draco said with a smile as he gently pulled his hand free and ran it over Harry's cheek.

"What is it, Uncle?" Harry asked showing he had begun to slip back into Little Space.

"I think on the day you choose to have the date you sleep in Aunt Hermione's room," Draco suggested.

"Why?" Harry asked

"That way when you get ready, it can be a surprise," Draco said trying to phrase it in a way that the Little could understand. "But we must keep it a secret," Draco said placing a finger to his lips making Harry give an overenthusiastic nod of his head bringing his hands to his mouth and letting out a giggle.

 

While he had Harry keep the secret about the plans for the date, Draco did go to Blaise to find out when the next date Blaise and Harry had picked out to go on. Being told  Harry had suggested the next Hogsmeade Visit, which as it happened landed on Valentine's Day weekend. Thought to keep Harry's secret during the weekly Clan meeting, before Blaise had shown up, to discuss the plans for Harry to remain Big for the date so the other did not worry about what Harry did to get ready for the date. Also asking if Hermione would be willing to let Harry sleep in her room the day before the date. Hermione having seen how much Harry had wanted to have this date had agreed and had even placed the alarm on her wand so they did not have to wait for Harry to be Big again to set it on his wand.

 

On the Saturday of the Hogsmeade visit, both Hermione and Harry wake up to "Be Prepared" coming from her the girl's wand. Harry was rather thankful for this as he had been in Little Space since his meeting with Draco to help plan for the date.  Since he had been in Hermione's room, they had also laid out some of his more formal, and thus scratchy, robes in a dark color as well as some cufflinks with not only a stuffed Scar but also a stuffed hyena. Slipping them on his wrist after putting on his robes he ran a hand through his hair and wished Hermione good morning. Hermione blushed a little still in just her underwear, not that Harry seemed to notice as he quickly left the room

 

The night before, after Little Harry had fallen asleep Draco had let Blaise know that Harry had taken some precautions for the date and not to be worried about it. Of course, Blaise could not help but get worried, as would anyone who was told by someone "not to worry," but he trusted his friend and Clan leader. When Blaise had gone to sleep the night before having grown accustomed to sleeping in the same room of someone since he had presented. That plus wondering what steps Harry had taken for the date led the dark-skinned Caregiver to a restless night and an early morning arriving at the table as Ron was in the middle of making breakfast. To his surprise, Harry was already sitting at the table, though he was fighting off a yawn. Looking over at him Blaise gave an inner sigh of relief seeing the only change was that he was wearing less than colorful robes and a pair of small stuffed animals on his wrist. "Morning Harry," Blaise said sitting down beside the other boy and giving him a small kiss on the forehead.

 

"Morning Blaise," Harry said smiling up at him as Blaise noticed that neither Sammy nor Yeontan were anywhere in sight.

"So are you two ready for your date?" Ron asked putting some food on both their plates

"I think so," Harry said hoping that all his precautions worked in his favor letting him have an actual date with the other male.

"So what are you both planning to do today?" Ron said coming back with his morning cup of flavored coffee.

"As far as I know we are just going around Hogsmeade like any other dating couple why?" Harry asked.

"No reason just wondering," Ron said smiling at his best friend.

 

Since they were in their last year each of them could actually leave for the village at any time during the weekend so they did not have to wait for a member of staff to let them go after the normal breakfast for the rest of the castle. So rather than go down the Great Hall where there was a chance of meeting Ginny who had gotten surprisingly worse after she had heard about Harry wanting to date Blaise when he was not in Little Space. Slipping Harry's hand into the crock of his arm Blaise leads Harry down to the village with a smile on his face. Blaise had been rather happy when Draco had told him the night before that Harry had plans to stave off his Little Side during the date. He loved Little Harry with all his heart, but he also had been wanting this date as much as Harry did.

 

Arriving at the village and seeing several other Seventh-Year Students Blaise leads Harry around the village stopping at the Weasley Twins' new shop that had replaced the Zonok's storefront from previous years, as due to the time not many stores were open yet. The pair had fun just window shopping the products in the store laughing as they talked about how they would use some of the items for sale if they could easily get away with it. As they noticed more Hogwarts students arriving the pair headed out of the place and back to the main street. Deciding to explore more of the Magical village outside the main street, the pair headed down one of the side streets and found an actual gym. As Harry had never thought of such a place in the Magical World talked Blaise into checking it out dragging the taller male into the place.

 

As they stepped inside they saw that the place had some actual people in it seeing Theo working out as Hermione looked on with a smile on her face. Seeing them enter Theo dropped down from the chin-up bar he had been on and flexed a little. "No longer such a bunny now am I, Harry?" Theo teased making Harry roll his eyes since he had been told that his Little Side had told the others that Theo had looked like a bunny.

"No, Theo can't say I can think of any form of rabbits that have a six-pack," Harry said making Blaise and Hermione laugh before Harry and Blaise left to continue their date to leave Theo and Hermione on their date.

 

After leaving Hermione and Theo at the gym, they continued to explore more of the side street finding other shops that might not normally interest students including some fabric stores, one for camera supplies that Harry made a note to tell Colin about later knowing how much the younger boy liked taking photos, as well as a grocery store to buy foodstuff. As they poked their head into the place they found Ron leading Draco, who was carrying a basket of the food they were planning to buy. Seeing them Draco gave them eyes as if wishing they would rescue him making Harry and Blaise give him a jaunty wave leaving him to his fate. The pair shared a laugh as they walked back to the main street since it was nearly time for the Three Broomsticks to open.

 

Taking a corner booth the pair ordered some pretzel bite appetizers and some Butterbeer. Madam Rosemerta gave Harry a look before he let her know that he was not little so she gave him a full bottle of the drink rather than a small cup of the stuff. With a nod, she left to fulfill their orders getting the pair to just talk. You would think that basically living together they would not really have much to talk about but with the amount of time that Harry was in Little Space, he was still learning about the other boy. As their food and drinks arrived Blaise was talking about his old dog which Harry had named his second stuffed friend after. It seems that Blaise had gotten the dog when he was younger and had hated to leave him behind when he had started Hogwarts due to them only allowing cats, rats, frogs, and owls. Harry had patted Blaise's arm seeing the sadness etched on the other's face from having to say goodbye to his dog while he was at school.

 

After they finished the food and drink the pair left the place not wanting to take up space in the popular place for most students. To avoid the crowd Harry leads Blaise to the Shrieking Shack. "Are you sure about this Harry?" Blaise asked as Harry led him right to the front door of the place.*

"Yeah it is fine," Harry said leading the worried Caregiver into the building, whose mouth fell open seeing the actual well-appointed hallway. "There is no poltergeist here in truth the place was created during my parents' time for Papa Remus when he transformed into a wolf while he was at school. It was him that the villagers heard and to make sure no one would come to check it out Professor Dumbledore helped spread the story about the poltergeist. A few years ago Papa Remus, Mama Tonks, and Papa Sirius came to fix the place up in case I needed a place to get away from everyone. Even Hermione and Ron did not know about the change," Harry said as he guided Blaise into a comfortable sitting room.

 

Rather than going back outside, Blaise and Harry had spent the time before lunch snuggled up in one of the couches in the room just chatting about random stuff from Blaise's childhood growing up as the son of a former Italian Minister of Magic, which she abdicated after Blaise's father had died. Harry for his part kept away from most of the abuse he had received from the Dursleys focusing on some of his happier memories growing up such as the times he would hide in the library where he discovered his love of reading. Blaise made a note of some of the books Harry mentioned thinking that they might be good gifts to give to Little Harry when he had earned a reward. Harry was freer with the years he had lived with his new parents loving having a triad of people who really loved him and took care of him. Blaise pulled Harry tighter to him as Harry said hoping Harry knew that more than just his three new parents loved him with not only their Clan but also all their extended families.

 

To take Harry's mind off some of his bad memories lest he slip despite all the precautions he had taken, Blaise started up a discussion of what they would do after leaving Hogwarts. Granted that as a Little Harry did not have that many prospects of a job some places would hire him. Harry admitted that he knew with the amount of time he was in Little Space it would be hard to find a job, but he had long since gotten over his dream of being an Auror anyway and would rather work in a hospital or museum. Blaise smiled as he told him that such places actually hired Littles so that they could test out children's aged activities and would keep the attention of younger people. Harry smiled hoping he could actually get hired at one of the places not wanting to just lounge around his house while playing around, though he and Blaise did have the money to do that if they so wished.

Notes:

*Harry not realizing that Blaise knew all this due to their last visit he was in Little Space

sorry I ended the chapter so abruptly but could not think of anything else to do on the date and have wanted to post this for a while so if I get inspired I may finish the date later.

Chapter 13: Look Papa I am.... part 2

Summary:

During his date with Blaise, Harry discovers a new ability

Notes:

While running all my chapters and stories through Grammarly I noticed a line from my first chapter which lead to this part.

Having discussed what they would do after Hogwarts, Blaise let Harry take in the idea of working as a child activity tester at certain places in silence for a bit. However, there was one thing he had not mentioned to Harry and that was how worried he was about getting his own job. Not for fear of finding one but more to the fact due to the amount of time Harry spent as a Little and leaving him alone. Though if Harry did take the job as a Little tester at either St. Mungos or a Magical museum Blaise could use his skill in recordkeeping or love of history to get a job at either place as well so they could still see each other during the day. As he thought of this Blaise could not help but run his fingers through Harry's hair, rather glad that they had finally been able to have this date with Harry staying Big.

 

Absentmindedly as he ran his fingers through Harry's messy hair Blaise started to hum something, which only after the fact he realized was a lullaby. While Blaise, if he noticed he was doing it, did not recognize the tune Harry did as he fought back from shifting into Little Space. Harry did not actually want to mention the humming to Blaise lest he ruined the mood, so he tried to fight the change in silence. This led to something rather different happening. As he fought back from shifting, this time feeling different than he did at the start of the school year, Harry felt his body begin to change.

 

Blaise immediately stopped humming and running his fingers through Harry's hair, as he felt the other boy start to pull away from him. Worried that he had done something wrong Blaise asked, "Are you okay, Harry?"

"I feel a little strange," Harry said holding his sides making Blaise worry that he was going to be sick. Blaise looked around the repaired room but as there were only chairs, tables, footstools, and the like he pulled out his wand and transformed one of them into a possible sick bucket. He thought he had done it just in time as Harry sank to his hands and knees on the floor and began to wheeze a little. Placing the transformed sick bucket in front of Harry's head, Blaise began to gently rub his Submissive's back. To his astonishment, Harry seemed to be getting smaller making Blaise's mouth fall open in shock as he sees Harry's hair begin to grow at an amazing rate. It was only after checking on if this change was causing Harry any pain that Blaise realized what was going on as he saw the other's face begin to elongate and shift into shape.

"I think you have started to change into your Animagus form, Harry don't fight it, it will be alright," Blaise said making Harry look up at him to see he was not scared of the change happening to him. Seeing his Dominant's calm expression, Harry stopped trying to fight the change happening making it all that easier as in almost an instant the change took place.

 

Blaise had to let out a small chuckle, not for how Harry now looked but for the fact that Little Harry was so into cats and Kitties while his animal form was a beagle. "Well aren't you the cutest thing," Blaise said scooping the transformed Magical into his arms not sure if the change to the dog also shifted Harry into Little Space. "Though it would hard to say which bit of you is cuter your dog form or your natural form," Blaise said lifting the white dog that had black ears up to his face and rubbing noses with it. He had to actually laugh as Harry either playing along or letting his animal take charge stuck out his tongue and licked his face. "We should show you off to someone," Blaise said thinking their first trip would be to see Madam Pomfrey to see if Harry fighting the change had caused any problems. Getting a small bark and tail wag from Harry, Blaise shifted his Submissive into the crook of his arms and walked out of the refurnished Shrieking Shack, startling some Third Years checking out the building for the first time and causing them to flee screaming in terror.

 

Blaise winced not sure if he should find out who they were so he could apologize to them later or keep quiet about the Shack's true history lest he destroys the legend of it. Harry for his part did not care as he just wagged his tail and panted happily in Blaise's arms, not a care in the world, and all thoughts of their date gone from his mind. Since they were near the edge of the Magical Village, Blaise took a shortcut back to the path up to Hogwarts for he was not sure if Harry wanted anyone to know he could change forms just yet. Due to the time of day when most of the students who had permission to go to the Village would already be there and it being too early to return Blaise and Harry meet no one on their way back to the castle or even on their way to the Hospital Wing.

 

"Hello, Blaise has there been an accident with Harry?" Madam Pomfrey asked seeing the dark-skinned Caretaker enter the room but missing Harry's form nestling in one of his arms.

"I am not sure," Blaise said walking over to the Medi-Witch, "we were enjoying our date when he suddenly changed form. Harry looked like he was fighting it and as far as I know, he has neither drank an Animagus Potion nor gone through any prep lessons on achieving it."

"Ah, well Harry might not have done either of those things, to be honest. It is not that well known due to how rare Littles are, but they have a natural affinity to Animagus transformations and can do it without any trouble. But you said he was possibly fighting it?" she asked as she had Blaise put Harry onto one of the beds to look him over.

 

"Well, I think he might have thought it was his Little Side coming out and wanted to stay big for our date. He complained about feeling a little unwell and was clutching his sides before he transformed," Blasie explained. Hearing where Harry had held himself before he changed Madam Pomfrey ran her wand over the beagle on the bed who tilted its head up at her his tail wagging.

"Well nothing seems to be wrong with him but I suggest you head down to get an Anti-Animagus Potion from Professor Snape right away," she said after reading the results of the Diagnostic Spells she had used on Harry.

"Why?" Blaise asked.

"Well, sometimes after a person first transforms into their Animagus form, they can be lost inside their animal and find it hard to revert to a human again. More so in the case of Littles. Thankfully a Little also has an extended time to get them back when this happens so rather than a single hour you have one day to make sure Harry becomes human again lest he possibly gets stuck as a dog," Madam Pomfrey explained and as if to emphasize her point of Harry losing himself in his animal form the beagle gave a happy sounding bark and began to chase its tail.

 

Thanking her, Blaise hastily scoops Harry back into his arms and as quickly as he could without jostling Harry too much made his way down to his Head of Houses' rooms. Due to an old rule of Slytherin House, Blaise made sure no non-Slytherin, other than Harry, was around as he knocked on the blank wall leading to Snape's rooms. He rather hoped the man was there and was not out gathering Potions ingredients or was out for the weekend.

"Speak Friend and enter," a voice called from the other side of the door, in what Blaise recognized as the code from Professor Snape meaning the man was busy so the person coming to see him better quickly explained what they wanted.

Gathering his thoughts Blaise said, "Amica" the closest Latin for "friend" he knew making the door open.

"Heir Zabini, speak quickly I am in the middle of a very important part of a brew," Snape said only looking to see who had entered before returning focus to his work.

"I need an Anti-Animagus potion for Harry, sir," Blaise said lifting Harry's form so the Potions Master could see the beagle in his arm.

"Very well," Snape said once more giving them a quick look before summoning the needed potion. "He will need at least one 1/4 cup of potion. You can keep the rest just in case he has similar issues later," Snape said dismissing them to get back to his potion. Thanking his Head of House, Blaise took the potion and hurried back to their Clan rooms where he finally let Harry go for a bit as he went to the cupboards looking for the 1/4 cup Ron used during baking.

 

Blaise also dug out a small bowl to pour the potion into so Harry would not have to stick his nose into the small cup or have Blaise force-feed it to him. Turning back to the main room Blaise chuckled slightly seeing Harry was sniffing around the room and had come across Sammy, which he had put aside for their date. Pouring out the potion from the bottle into the cup before transferring it to the bowl Blaise saw Harry actually begin to lick Sammy making him wince thinking the small stuffed cat had not been cleaned since Ron had done so after Harry vomited on him. Still not sure if Harry was letting the dog form control him or was just playing some sort of game, Blaise whistled Harry over as he placed the bowl of potion on the floor like he used to do to Yeontan growing up. Harry perked up and came right to him wagging his tail as he sniffed at the Potion. Blaise rather hoped that due to its purpose, the potion would not seem like it was bad to a dog. The Caregiver bit his bottom lip in worry as Harry did not immediately start to drink the potion fearing the worst only for Harry to dip his head into the bowl and begin to lap up the deep lavender potion.

 

Once Harry had lapped up all the potion within the bowl there was a moment when nothing happened, causing Blaise once again to worry thinking the Potion was out of date or maybe Snape in his distracted state had given him the wrong thing, only for Harry to start changing back. When he was fully human again Harry stretched his body out as if he had just woken up. "Did you see that Papa, I was a puppy," Harry said happily having evidently shifted into his Little side, though for all Blaise knew it could be normal once a Little underwent an Animagus form to always be a Little when they reverted to human again.

"Yes you were, Harry, and a very cute one at that," Blaise said with a smile as Harry came forward and hugged him. "Just make sure you tell Sammy about it for you did end up licking him," Blaise said with a small laugh as he saw Harry's expression as the Little broke the hug to share his good news with his friend.

 

Though they had both wanted to have their date last the entire Hogsmeade trip, meaning until most of the younger students headed back for supper at the castle, Blaise could not help but smile at what had transpired. Seeing Harry both share his news happily with Sammy and then apologize profusely to the cat for licking him might have been one of the cutest things Harry had ever done in Blaise's opinion. Seeing Harry was busy with Sammy, Blaise made sure to clean both the cup and bowl he had put the potion into as well as store the potion somewhere safe in case they needed it again.

When he was done Blaise decided to write some letters letting all but Hermione's parents of their Clan's family know about the most recent change for Harry. The only reason he did not share it with Hermione's family was due to Clans being a more common practice in the Magical World than the Muggle one, as Hermione told them most Muggles saw the idea of a Clan as either wrong or akin to a polygamist relationship which the Muggles also had some hang-ups about. And while Hermione said her parents would understand other of her Muggle relatives might not, so did not want any documentation about their Clan around to be found.

 

After Blaise had finished with his letters, he placed them by the door to be taken to the Owlery later as he asked Harry if he wanted to watch a movie until the others came back. Harry instantly agreed as he gathered up Sammy and Yeontan while Blaise picked out a movie. Due to Harry's new dog form, Blaise decided to check out a new movie Remus had sent them that was actually not animated called Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey. Having never seen the movie before and with the main character being a dog just like he could now become, Harry was soon enraptured by the film despite it not being a cartoon. Even Blaise had to admit the thing was both funny and had some well-trained animals in it after seeing the scene where Shadow and Chance outsmarted a Mountain Lion.

 

"So what happened to the date?" Ron asked as he and Draco arrived back with groceries picked up from the market Blaise and Harry had found them in at Hogsmeade.

"We had to cut it a little short," Blaise said as he began to rewind the movie having just finished seeing all the credits, something Harry both Big and Little liked to do to honor those who had made the movie.

"Ah slipping?" Draco asked noticing how Harry was acting.

"Not really at least at first," Blaise said with a smile," why don't you show Uncles Ron and Draco what you can do Harry."

 

Ron stopped putting away the food by hand, using his wand to finish it up, as he turned to look along with Draco at what Harry would do. "Look Uncle Wonny I am a doggie," Harry said making the Alpha and Omega raise an eyebrow as they saw Harry was wearing neither Luna's magic hat nor tail. The looks turned into gasps of shock as Harry, easier and faster than the last time, turned into his beagle form. Blaise had to let out a soft chuckle seeing the pairs' mouths fall open in shock at the sight as Harry ran forward placed his front paws on Ron's legs and barked to be picked up. Ron seemed to be in a small state of shock bent down and lifted Harry. Harry shifted a little in the redhead's grip so he could playfully lick Ron's face. This seemed to break Ron out of it as he let out a laugh and rubbed noses with Harry Draco leaned in as well, and got a lick much to the blonde's exasperation.

 

Thankfully this time Harry did not require the potion to change back for as soon as he was placed back down by Ron he reverted to human form and pulled the redhead over to the couch to watch Homeward Bound with him. Blaise after showing Draco where he had stored the potion and what it was used for soon joined them, for once not minding watching a movie twice in a row.

Chapter 14: Expelled

Summary:

Hermione, Theo, and others meet Harry's new puppy form

As Blaise rewatched Homeward Bound for both Harry's enjoyment but also so that Draco and Ron could see it for the first time, the Caregiver noticed Harry wiggle in his seat and scratch his arms a lot. After a bit, Blaise paused the movie to ask, "Do you want me to get you some new clothing, Harry?" Since Harry was still wearing the robes he had worn during their date to stay Big.

"I can do it," Harry protested.

"Are you sure?" Draco asked.

"Yes Uncle Dway," Harry said, and before they could do anything Harry had rushed up to his and Blaise's room.

"How much do you want to bet, he puts something on backward again?" Ron asked.

"I say there is a fifty-fifty chance of it happening," Draco said.

 

As they waited to see what the little picked out for himself, making another bet to see if he would have his underwear under his pants or not, Blaise told the Alpha and Omega about the date Harry and he had had before Harry had shifted into his new Animagus form. After about ten minutes Harry finally left his room dressed in more Little normal clothing. Both bets had been lost for Harry had everything on the right way and no visible underwear even if the clothing he had picked out were rather strange. The pants Harry had chosen for himself were bright green with purple polka dots running down the front and back while on the sides of the pants were black stripes. He had a shirt with the character of the American show Power Rangers on it under a red and green robe. Harry was also wearing a Wizard's hat which had alternating verticle stripes of orange and purple from a Magical World comic Ron had introduced to him, involving Rimmy Tim and his adventures to stop the Mad King. "Well you look colorful," Blaise said as Harry rushed back to the couch to resume watching the movie.

"I told you, I could dwess myself," Harry said proudly as he snuggled in next to his Papa to watch the movie about the three funny talking animals.

"Yes you did," Blaise admitted as he hit the play button seeing no problem with Harry's clothing since they did not have to attend class with it being the weekend.

 

Hemione and Theo finally returned to the Clan rooms during one of the final scenes when the three pets were making their way through a train yard. Unfortunately closing the door right when a train went by making those on the couch jump fearing the bang had been part of the movie which had led to one of the animals looking to being hit by a train. After a quick apology, the pair moved to sit down for the rest of the movie. Both knew it was alright that they had missed it for if Harry liked the movie, as it seemed to be, they would see it again real soon.

 

As the credits rolled Blaise caught Draco and Ron's eyes knowing that since Theo and Hermione had arrived they were unaware of Harry having achieved an Animagus Form. "So how was your guy's time at Hogsmeade?" Blaise asked them as he rewound the tape.

"Good after the gym we went to get some more supplies for class and then stopped by the Corner Store to get some books we both wanted that had just come out," Theo answered.

"Sorry your date did not go that well," Hermione said in a sympathetic tone.

"Oh, it went alright," Blaise said with a smile.

"But," Theo said looking at Harry who was obviously now little unlike what had been planned of staying Big until supper.

"Granted it did not go as we expected it to, but it is fine," Blaise said before turning to Harry. "Harry, why don't you do tonight's Walkies with Aunt Hermione and Uncle Theo today?"

"Okay Papa," Harry said. Walkies or nightly walks around the castle had been Madam Pomfrey's idea after Harry spent a lot of his free time in the Clan Rooms watching his movies as a way for the Little to get some exercise. It had been Ron's idea of a joke to call them Walkies as Harry wearing Luna's animal hat saying it was like walking random creatures.

 

Hermione and Theo were a little shocked when Harry did not go get the hat Luna had made for him but headed right to the door "Don't you want Aunt Luna's hat like you normally do, Harry?" Hermione asked.

"Nopes," Harry said with a smile, and just like Blaise had seen coming Harry had shifted into his white beagle form.

"WHAT?" Hermione asked in shock her voice so loud Harry lowered his head and covered his black ears with his front paws. "Sorry Harry," she said seeing his reaction.

"Since when has Harry been able to change, and how?" Theo asked in a more measured voice than Hermione.

"Since our date," Blaise said, "and according to Madam Pomfrey one of the things that are known about Littles is that they can actually reach their Animagus form with very little effort."

"What about the chance that he could remain in that form?" Hermione asked having known about the side effects due to her and Theo being the only member of the Clan trying to gain their Animagus form.

"I got a potion from Professor Snape after he first changed so it is alright. We still have some left if it seems he can not change back for whatever reason," Blaise explained. He was about to show them where the potion was only for Harry to start scratching at the door to be let out for the walk.

 

They were not sure if it was Harry as a little wanting to go for a walk as a dog or just getting impatient with all the talking but Hermione and Theo got the message with a pair of chuckles they went over to the door to start the walk. Not wanting Harry to get too far away from them, but also not wanting to put a leash and collar on him, Hermione used her wand to create an invisible magical bond. The bond would neither hurt Harry nor let him get too far away from her by himself. If for some reason a student picked Harry's dog form up and carried him away, it would let her know where he was taken.

 

Hermione was glad she had put the charm in place for as she and Theo walked down the corridors of the castle the students who for whatever reason had not gone to Hogsmeade or had already returned from the Magical Village came up to pet Harry. Harry loved all the attention wagging his tail and happily barking at everyone. For those, he recognized and knew rather well like Aunt Luna, Uncles Neville, Seamus, and Dean he even licked their faces. Even some that had some issues with Harry as a little, like Pansy went gaga over Harry's dog form, asking Hermione and Theo where they got it. The pair lied saying they had just bought Harry after Apparating away from Hogsmeade as a gift to each other.  Since Blaise had not mentioned if Harry wanted to keep his Animagus form a secret or not.

"So what is his name?" Pansy asked playing with Harry's floppy black ears.

"Um, Snoopy," Hermione said without thinking.

"Snoopy eh? Well, it suits him," Pansy said as Harry gave a happy little bark making the girl chuckle before she patted him on his head and left so others could get a closer look.

 

However, not everyone was happy to see "Snoopy." Ginny did not like it at all. While she was not that much into following rules like many students, Hermione for instance, Ginny did not like that the Clan was getting preferential treatment. She would not have minded if one Harry was not a freaky Little, and two she was his Dominant partner thus being the one to get the special treatment. Hogwarts rules specifically stated that a student could only have a cat, rat, frog, or owl as a pet. Ginny actually loved dogs so had always hated that rule since she could not get a dog of her own to bring to the castle. She thought the rules against dogs came from Headmistress McGonagall's Animagus form being a cat, as well as Flitch's cat Miss Norris. But now just like Hagrid, who was a member of the staff, Harry's Clan was allowed to have a dog and it pissed her off.

 

So while she loved dogs, Ginny felt deep hatred for Hermione and Theo's new pet. That was another reason she did not like that Harry's clan had a dog for she could see those Snakes training it to attack decent folks like herself. So as an old saying she recalled, "Get them before they get you," Ginny decided to act. So as everyone was fawning over the illegal dog, Ginny pulled her wand out of her pocket and began to cast a non-verbal curse at the mutt.

 

Harry was having fun exploring the castle as a puppy getting more attention and hugs than he normally did, and he normally got a lot from everybody not just his family. Harry never thought that being a puppy could lead him to smell such interesting things, like that his Papa smelled of sunshine or that the magic Aunt Hermione cast on his had a smell of freshly cut grass. Even the normally meany Pansy who for some reason did not like that Uncles Ronny and Dray were BFFs was being nice to him playing with his fluffy ears and scratching him under his chin. Aunt Hermione even gave him a new name when he was a puppy. He could not wait to tell Sammy and Yeontan that when he was a puppy he was Snoopy.

 

Suddenly, Harry found something felt wrong as his ears pulled back and a smell of badness filled the air. He heard everyone laugh as he looked from side to side trying to detect where the badnss smell was coming from. He began to whine a little as it felt like his paws were not on cool stone but something jagged and hot. It hurted, it hurted really bad making him jump around trying to get away from the pain in his paws. Being a puppy was no longer any fun but he was in too much pain to think about changing back into being a boy again. Aunt Hermione seemed to know he was hurted as she picked him up but the bad pain in his paws was still there.

 

"Somethings wrong, Theo," Hermione said as Harry still whined even when she picked him up. The crowd of students around them looked worried for "Snoppy" wondering what was causing him to whine in pain with no visible cause. No, not everyone Theo saw as he noticed Ginny in the crowd with a look of concentration on her face and her wand out. Fearing that she was casting a spell on Harry for whatever reason, Theo hastily used his skill in both non-verbal and wandless casting to place a small Ward around Harry's form.

 

The whines of pain stopped almost instantly, as well as Harry shifted back into his human form. Almost causing Hermione to be pulled to the ground under his now heavier weight before she quickly cast a Feather-Light Charm on him. There were some gasps from the crowd at the transformation and Theo noted a look of further anger coming to Ginny's face. But he could not deal with the bitch right now, for Harry now had his head buried in Hermione's shoulder crying about the pain he had felt in his paws. Wanting to check something Theo gently took one of Harry's hands and turned it over to look at the Little's palm. Theo's normally overly pale face flushed red with anger as he saw Harry's palm was covered in burned flesh. There was no doubt in his mind that Harry's other palm as well as both the Little's feet would also be burned as he took Harry from Hermione to take their Clan's Little to see Madam Pomfrey, as well as report what he had suspected, had happened to Harry.

 

Madam Pomfrey was quickly able to heal Harry's hands and feet making the Little return to his normally happy-go-lucky nature, but the School's Medi-Magical could only give the Little a weak smile."Enough was enough," she thought as she used her Floo to contact Severus as soon as the three members of the St. Clair Clan left her Domain. "Severus, is that potion ready yet?" she asked without preamble as soon as the Potion Master answered her call.

"Nearly," the dour man responded.

"How much time until it is done?" she asked.

"Maybe an hour or two," Severus said shifting his face to check the potion brewing nearby.

"I will need it as soon as it is done," Poppy said.

 

"I thought we were told to wait to use it until she once again tried to make trouble for them?" Severus said in an uncertain tone.

"She already has, if Lord Nott is correct," she said before explaining what had just transpired.

"I see," Severus said, "I will bring the potion up as soon as I am finished I think you need to tell Minerva about this as well."

"Oh I plan on it," Poppy said in a determined voice. While the woman was classified as a Neutral she had never shown any discrimination against a single Classification which was one of the reasons she held such a prestigious post as the Medi-Magical of Hogwarts.

 

She did her best to keep the residents both students and staff of the castle as healthy as she could in mind, body, and spirit. Poppy had fought long and hard to update the Hogwarts Charter so that Classification Discrimination was seen as a Zero Tolerance Issue. After the first incident where Ginny had helped Harry to remain out of Little Space and from what the Matron had heard telling him that if he could last a month he would be free of his Little side forever, Poppy had wanted to have the girl expelled.

The only thing that prevented it was that while she had done wrong Harry had actually turned to Ginny for help in the matter. Also due to some small leniency awarded to her for being related to the Clan by her brother Ron. Though from the stories Poppy had heard having heard what Ginny had been telling Harry, Ron had wanted to punish his sister himself. Poppy was not going to let it slide this time if the girl was found to be responsible for what had been done to Harry. Not only had it been Little abuse, but since Harry had been in his Animagus form with no indication that it was him, the girl's actions were also classified as animal abuse.

 

As Poppy informed Headmistress McGonagall what had happened as well as what Theo had guessed of what had caused Harry pain, she saw the Pet clench her fist in anger looking as if she wanted to break something. "Let me know the moment Severus arrives with the potion, and see if he has any Truth Potion lying around to bring along with it. We will get to the bottom of this," Minerva said curled into the tight embrace of her dominant to help calm herself down. Poppy sent the Headmistress's request to Severus about the Truth Potion and got a nod of confirmation from the man.

 

Poppy distracted herself from what was to happen when Severus finished the potion by making her already immaculate Infirmary was spotless. Twenty minutes late Severus came out of her fireplace carrying the two potions and quickly got out of the way so Poppy could summon the Headmistress. It took another ten minutes for Minerva to arrive since she had gone to collect Ginny Weasley from Gryffindor Tower. "What's up?" the girl asked rather confused as to why she had been brought to the Hospital Wing by her former Head of House.

"Miss Weasley on the advice of your Mind-Healers, Professor Snape has been brewing a special potion for you to take," McGonagall explained.

"Oh-kay?" Ginny said still confused.

"This potion will reveal to us, even though you are underage the Classification you will be once you are seventeen," McGonagall said.

"Wicked," Ginny said smiling knowing she was bound to be a Dominant and it might let her see who she was destined to be with giving her a head start over her classmates.

"But before that, we have another potion for you to take," McGonagall said but before she could explain why they were having Ginny take the Truth Potion the redheaded girl reached out and took it from her grip and drank it all in one gulp. The three Hogwarts staff members looked on in shock as the Truth Potion took effect Ginny's eyes seemed to glass over.

 

"Right, well, did you attack the dog that was with Theo Nott and Hermione Granger Clan St. Clair earlier?" Severus asked being the first to get over his shock at the girl's actions.

"Yes," Ginny said in a monotone voice.

"Why?" Minerva asked.

"It did not seem fair that they could get a dog when I can't just because they are part of Harry's clan," Ginny answered in the same tone as before.

"You had no issue cursing what you thought was a dog?" Minerva asked.

"If it belonged to Theo or one of the other fucking snakes, I just knew they would train it to attack," Ginny responded. The three shook their heads at the girl's hatred for members of Slytherin House. Since You-Know-Who had died and the majority of his followers had been rounded up there had been a decrease in the animosity towards Slytherins a major part of it happening to be due to Clan St. Clair but there were still others like Ginny who would not drop the old hatred of the House.

 

Having heard all they needed to hear about the attack on Harry in his dog form, Severus administered the antidote to the Truth Potion before giving the redheaded girl the Early Classification Indicator Potion. Due to Ginny's attitude towards Harry and from what they had been told by her Mind-Healer all Littles, Severus, Minerva, and Poppy crossed their fingers that the girl would not be shown to be either a Little or a Caregiver herself. Unlike a normal Classification Potion which was usually instantaneous, the ECIP took a couple of minutes to read all the factors in an underage Magical's body to determine which Classification they would become. After about three minutes a glow appeared around Ginny making the three groan seeing it was Yellow indicating she would be a Little. But before they could do more than groan the aura shifted to orange indicating she was a Pet? And then gray to show she was also a Neutral. Finally, Ginny's glow stopped turning utterly black revealing that the youngest Weasley child was the rare Hybrid Classification.

 

As there was less data on Hybrids than even Littles since there was normally only one living on the entire planet at a time, the news that when she reached the age of adulthood Ginny was to be a Hybrid left the three adults dumbstruck. Ginny for her part was looking around for the role of parchment which would tell her who she was meant to be with, though only slightly confused as to why her aura had turned black. But it was better than the super bright yellow that had surrounded her at first marking her as a Little in the baby/toddler range. "Where is my scroll that said who my perfect mate is?" she asked.

"You might not get one," Professor Snape said.

"I guess that is true after all it did show I am to be Neutral after a few false starts," Ginny said recalling that Percy when he was revealed to be Neutral had not gotten a scroll.

"Those were not false starts as you call them Miss Weasley, you will be what is known as a Hybrid meaning you have characteristics of different Classifications," Madam Pomfrey explained.

"What does that mean exactly?" Ginny asked.

"That is hard to say as there is almost no data on Hybrids. However, the one clear thing is that due to your actions on Harry while you have been at the castle with this most recent attack on him when he was in his new Animagus form, we have no choice but to expel you," Professor McGonagall said.

Chapter 15: Puppy Power

Summary:

As Ginny is sent far away, Harry's fear of turning back into his Animagus form is helped by an unlikely source.

Notes:

It has been over a year, sorry for the long absence. Since it has been so long a reminder that when he is a Little Harry has a small speech impediment so that his "r"s come out as "w"s

The members of the St. Clair clan did not see Ginny again at Hogwarts after she had used the spell to burn Harry's feet and hands while he had been in his new Animagus form. They only heard what happened thanks to a letter from Mrs. Weasley who apologized for what Ginny had done. Mrs. Weasley also wrote that due to her actions not only was Ron's sister expelled from Hogwarts but she had been given a potion that would reveal her Classification when she came of age. Everyone was shocked to learn that the test revealed that Ginny would be a Hybrid when she was of age. As a Hybrid was even rarer then a Little Hogwarts helped Ron's folks get in contact with the current Hybrid since it was said that only one would be on Earth at any given time. Mx. Pat got in contact with Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and invited Ginny to come to stay with them so they could teach Ginny all about being a Hybrid even offering to pay for all of her travel arrangements.

 

Since the Mind Healers Ginny had gone to had not helped, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley decided to give it a shot by sending Ginny to Mx. Pat. They hoped that the older Hybrid would be able to help Ginny deal with whatever issue she had. Though according to Mrs. Wealsey, when she had been tested Ginny was a Hybrid of the youngest stage of a Little, a Pet, and a Neutral. On the other hand, Mx. Pat was a Hybrid of an Alpha, Pet, and Caregiver. Ron hoped Mx. Pat would be able to help his younger sister, he did let a certain vindictive pleasure enter him to find out that going to stay with the older Hybrid Ginny would no longer be able to mess with his Clan. Since Mx. Pat had a small compound in what had been an old Russian Gulag in the depts the Siberia.*

 

Though she was gone the clan thought their troubles with her were over, but they soon found out they were wrong as Harry who had loved his Snoopy form would have a panic attack if he felt himself changing into a dog due to what she had done to him. Everyone tried to help him out but while his Big form understood Ginny was gone and could no longer hurt him, Harry's Little side was petrified of turning into a dog and getting his feet burned. Big Harry even tried to help out by shifting into Snoopy so that if he became Little as the dog his other side could see nothing was happening. Unfortunately, Blaise and the others saw the instant Harry became a Little as Snoopy as he let out a mournful whine as he shook in place waiting for the pain to happen. Harry quickly changed back curling into a ball and cried for an hour making them promise never to do it again.

 

In the meantime, Ron had begun to feel a little sick. At first, he thought it was just from the guilt of what Ginny had done to his best friend and seeing the lasting impact it was having on everyone in the clan. But when he had been unable to eat lunch one day and had to ask the leave his first-afternoon class so he could rush to the bathroom to throw up he knew something else was going on. A check-up with Madam Pomfrey made Ron want to punch both Draco and all those old wives. Draco's joy at Ron getting sick after his last Heat was for the reason his Alpha had believed it to be. Madam Pomfrey confirmed that Ron was pregnant. As an Omega, he was both happy about it but that did not make his desire to slug his Alpha lessen, for he knew Draco would be pointing out his guess had been correct until the birth. Madam Pomfrey let him know that she would do her duty in letting the kitchens and members of the staff know about his pregnancy but it would be up to him to tell anyone else he wanted to know.

 

"Everything alright, Ron?" Draco asked when the Omega returned to the Clan rooms.

"Draco, come over here," Ron said beckoning his Alpha over with a single finger.

"What's up?" Draco asked.

When the blonde Alpha got close enough Ron punched his shoulder. "That is a reminder of what I will do if you tell me, "I told you so. And this is for what I learned," Ron said bending down a little to give the shorter Alpha a kiss.

"What is going on?" Draco asked again.

"You were right. I got sick because I got pregnant from my last Heat," Ron said keeping a hand on Draco's collar in case his Alpha said the four words he had just warned him about. But Draco had been stuck dumb by the news of Ron carrying his child.

He was the only one as Hermione, Theo, and Blaise let out shouts of surprise and congratulations at the news. When Draco was finally able to speak his words came out in a whisper as he asked, "If it is a boy can we name it after my real father?"

"Of course," Ron said pulling his stunned Alpha into a tight hug.

When Ron had come in Harry had been coloring in one of his new books which had replaced the one he had thrown up on a few weeks ago. Hearing Papa, Aunt Hermione, and Uncle Theo's shouts of joy he turned to see Uncle Ronny hugging Uncle Dray. Always up for a good hug, Harry got up and went over to the front door where everyone was standing. Just a few feet away from joining the hug, he heard Uncle Dray's question to Uncle Ronny. While his Little side did not understand the question his Big side did. Seeing him come over Uncle Ronny turned to him. "Do you have a question, Harry?" Ron asked guessing that Little Harry would not understand fully what was going on and by his friend's posture he was a Little at the moment.

Everyone was therefore shocked when Harry asked," I get that with me spending most of my time as a Little I could not be your kid's Godfather but can I at least be their cousin and playmate?"

"Of course Harry," Ron and Draco both said pulling him into their hug.

"Congratulations to the both of you," Harry said staying Big for a moment before allowing the combined Hug to bring out his Little.

 

With the news of Ron's pregnancy, Harry was no longer the only one to get a specially prepared plate at meal times as the Elves provided him with a meal to help the child develop and prevented Ron from eating too many sweets or anything that might harm the child. With the new pre-pared plate at meals, and his being removed from Potions, Care of Magical Creatures, along with switching to book study for Herbology others slowly became aware that Ron was with child. Most of the Seventh Years when they figured it out came up to congratulate Ron and Draco on their good news, the notable exceptions were Crabbe, Goyle, and Pansy.

 

So it was a shock to Ron and Draco one night when accompanying Harry for Walkies that they were approached by Pansy. Alpha and Omega suddenly had their guards up and even Harry, while still in Little Space, was cautious thinking she was going to get on his Uncles case for being BFF again. "Alright this might sound a little odd but why has Snoppy not returned?" she asked.

Ron and Draco winced seeing Harry quickly rub his hands together as if they were burning again. "It is complicated. Thanks to Ginny he is scared to change," Ron said though still on his guard in case Pansy was just making some small talk to distract them before she tried to do something that might harm him.

"That is too bad," Pansy said reaching over and ruffling Harry's hair. "He was such a cute little puppy and those ears were so precious."

But paws huwted," Harry countered.

"Only due to Ginny," Pansy said making Ron and Draco roll their eyes for every member of their clan had tried this tactic and it never worked. "But she is gone now so you are safe. If not you have these two lugs and everyone else to protect you. Even Aunty Pansy will make sure no one hurts you. If they do I will personally lay the smack down on them. I can be tough just as Draco?" Pansy said shocking both Ron and Draco for the tactics she was using.

"Is that wight?" Harry asked looking back at Uncle Dray and Ronny.

"Of course, Harry. I will always have your back," Ron said holding up his pinky for Harry to shake again. Pansy not understanding the gesture brought her pinky in as well when Ron curled his finger around Harry.

"What was that old line from the Muggle Book? All for one and one for all. That is who has your back at Hogwarts, Harry," Pansy said making Harry smile up at her.

"Thanks, Aunt Pansy," Harry said shocking the girl as he gave her a hug.

"Um you're welcome," she said a little awkwardly only to let out a gasp of shock as Harry changed into his dog form again making Draco and Ron's mouths fall open in shock that she was able to help him when their entire Clan, Madam Pomfrey, and even Snape and McGonagall had not been able to do so.

 

 

"Oh you are just so cute," Pansy said spinning around with Harry's form clutched protectively to her chest. Harry was still a little tense fearing the burning in his paws but it never came. He guessed the burning feared Aunt Pansy and the others coming after it if it hurted him again. When he still was not being hurted when Aunt Pansy stopped spinning Harry let his tail wag in joy and let out a few happy barks. "As for you two. I heard the news and saw your plate during meals," Pansy said looking at the pair of Mates while still clutching Harry to her. "I guess this means that we don't stand a chance," she said winking at Draco. "I guess that Hannah was right all along, though don't tell her that you know how Alphas just love to say "I told you so" if we admit it," Pansy said giving Ron a playful look. "But in all seriousness congrats on the kid. I apologize for being a bit of a...." she trailed off not knowing if Harry in his current form would understand her so she finished with, "a dumbo I guess. Magic did know what it was doing, after all, being with Hannah has been good for me. I guess I just never got over my crush on you."

"That is perfectly understandable," Draco said with an air of superiority.

"Down boy," both Pansy and Ron said at the same time before they burst out laughing which was soon joined by happy barks and yips from Harry.

"But as you said in all seriousness, thank you Pansy for your support but also for helping Harry," Draco said pulling her into a one-armed hug so as to not squash Harry.

 

 

Everyone was overjoyed when Ron and Draco came back with Harry still in his Snoopy form curled up in Draco's arms. They were all floored to find out what or rather who had helped Harry move past his fear a little to feel comfortable changing again. Hearing what she had done, Blase with the agreement from everyone else decided to invite Pansy and Hannah over to their rooms as a way to thank the Omega for doing what they had all failed to do. Wanting to go all out for it, they had the pair of mates come over during the weekend so Ron could cook for them, also giving him an excuse to eat a little more sweets than the Elves had been given him.

 

"Thanks for inviting us over," Hannah said as the pair arrived for supper Saturday night. "We were not sure if we needed to bring something so here," she said passing over a box of Chocolate Frogs.

"I'll take that," both Blaise and Draco said grabbing the box before Ron or Harry could get their hands on it and using magic to send it to a hiding spot.

"Thanks but Harry is a hand full if he has too much chocolate and Male Omegs get quite a sweet tooth when they are pregnant in the Weasley line, or at least that is what Mr. Weasley told us when we shared the news," Draco said seeing the confused look on their guest faces.

"Right so no chocolate if you invite us back," Pansy said leaning into Hannah's shorter form.

 

"Supper will be done shortly," Ron called as he headed back to the kitchen a small disappointed look on his face.

"Do we have enough time fow show Uncle Wonny?" Harry called.

"Just one," Ron shot back.

"A show? Is Harry going to perform for us?" Hannah asked.

"No, a while back when he was depressing his Little Side Ron's dad sent us a magical video and tv so we could try showing him some Disney tapes since in the Muggle World no Little can stay big while watching them. We did not use it for that but have since got a large collection of tapes most involving cats due to Harry's love of them. Sirius and Remus just sent us some new tapes of an American Show called Scooby-Doo since Harry could transform into a dog. We hoped that he would want to change again after watching them but it did not work, but he still likes them," Hermione explained as Harry put a tape into the Magical VCR/TV combo to start the show. Hannah who as Halfblood had seen shows before but never one that worked in a Magical location. To see something like this when she was out of school she would have had to go see her cousins.

"You said Ron's dad made this?" she asked.

"Yeah?" Hermione said a little hesitantly knowing that some had issues with Mr. Weasley due to his love of Muggle stuff.

"Okay I can think of several Halfbloods like myself who would want one," Hannah said excitedly as she pulled Pansy to a seat right behind Harry as the episode What a Night for a Knight. Pansy, Harry, and Hannah watched the episode with rapt attention making Hermione and the others smile and chuckle a little seeing the Alpha and Omega visitors as interested in the show as much as Harry was.

 

Even Pansy protested when Ron called them to shut off the tv and come to eat. While Harry had mac and cheese, everyone else had some homemade cordon blue. "This is better than what the Elves make, um sorry if any are listening," Pansy said as she dug into the food.

"Thanks," Ron said blushing. "I just learned it from my mom."

"Well congrats to her as well," Pansy said making a toast though only Harry answered it with his cup of chocolate milk.

 

After a pleasant meal of filled with pointless small talk, Blaise helped Harry get ready for bed as Hannah and Pansy stayed talking for a little longer down in the main part of the clan rooms. "So how did you guys do on the Practice Test last month?" Hannah asked.

"As and EEs," Draco and Ron said while Theo and Hermione both said "Os."

"Must be nice to be smart," Pansy said sulking a little as she curled into Hannah's form. "I got all As.

"I got mostly As and one EE myself," Hannah said.

"Want to study together?" Draco asked, "As a way to repair our friendship and bury the hatchet as it were?"

"YES, PLEASE," Pansy said almost begging.

"Alright, we will work something out. We try not to have group study in the library since Harry might start singing," Hermione said.

"Oh, I recall some of those," Hannah said wincing a little.

"Yep, if Hermione was correct about the studies that show a Little's magic is shifted to make others want to protect them.  It fails to mention that it becomes hard when the Little sings off-key and so loud," Draco said.

"Hey," Blaise said coming down the stairs from putting Harry to bed making Draco look a little uncomfortable.  "I might have something to say about that along the lines that I will always want to protect Harry, magic or not.  Yet Harry, himself does admit his Little Side singing is bad," Blaise said with a chuckle letting Draco breathe a small sigh of relief.  "So did I hear it correctly that you guys want to get ready for our NEWTS together?"

"Um, yes," Hannah said not used to dealing with Blaise and fearing that he might take offense to her critique of Harry's singing, but since she was not an old friend like Draco he would not be as forgiving.

"Good, I have an idea I want to run past you as a way to practice and a way to see Harry at what I think will be his best," he said smiling at everyone.

 

A few days later Harry had shifted into Snoopy and talking to Sammy and Yeontan.  "How come you nevew told me all the smells you can smell as a puppy?" Harry asked Yeontan.

"I did not want to make you upset with how limited being human is," Yeontan explained.

"Why does Papa smell like sunshine?" he asked his two stuffed friends.

"Because you love and care for him," Sammy said.  "What do we smell like?"

"Chocolate and Peanut Buttew," Harry answered wagging his tail.

"And those are the best, especially together so that is what you smell when you smell us," Yeontan said.

 

At the main table where they were studying, Blaise noticed that Harry was fully distracted with his conversation with his two stuffed friends.  Catching Hannah's eyes he gave her a nod.  This had been on his mind for a while as a way to give Harry a wonderful time and a great surprise, while at the same time using it as practice.  Back when Harry had been fearful of changing into his dog form, Blaise had contacted the Weasley Twins to see how Harry, Sammy, and Yeontan might react if a Hover Charm was used on the stuffed friend.  Fred performed a test himself on Bingos Ate Bannas and got no negative response from his stuffed friend.  As that was as close as they could get to a go-ahead Blaise had planned everything out.  He knew Harry understood about Magic but it was still new to him thanks to his Little side's age.  So with nonverbal spells, they could let Harry and his stuff friends fly a little while practicing for the test.

 

"Is these anything else I should know about being a puppy?" Harry asked Yeontan.

"Chin scratches are the best," Yeontan said though keeping his mouth shut about toilet bowl water was delicious since even in a place where toilets were magically cleaned Harry might get in trouble for drinking from one.

"I don't know about being a puppy but a good sunbeam is heaven," Sammy said not wanting to be left out.

"That they are," Yeontan agreed.  "Whoa, what is happening?"

"What?" Harry asked not understanding what his friend was talking about.

"This feels strange," Sammy said.  "Oh, oh look Harry I can fly."

"How awe you doing that?" Harry asked seeing both of his friends float into the air and bob for a moment before their paws began to move like they were walking on air.

"Hey what about me I wanna fly too," Harry said jumping after them and trying to get off the ground as he wiggle his ears as if they were wings like a birdy had.

 

 

At the table the group was trying not to laugh or coo at how cute Harry looked jumping after the two stuffed animals.  Blaise gently pulled out his wand for he would trust n no one else with Harry as he cast the Hover charm on the Little turned dog.

 

"I flying to," Harry said with a joyful laugh thinking the movement of his ears had allowed him to take off.

"This is fun," Sammy said as Hermione had the orange and white stuffed cat do a loop around Harry's form bringing them together so that the small feet extending from the toy touched Harry's paws.

"That tickles," Harry said with a laugh.

"Hey look what I can do," Yeontan said as Hannah had the stuffed dog perform a Moonwalk a few feet off the ground.

"Cool," Both Harry and Sammy said impressed.

"Maybe we is supewhewos without knowing it," Harry said before thinking of another tape that Granddaddy Remus had sent him.  "Puppy Power."

 

Due to his connection to Harry as his Caregiver, Blaise was able to detect that Harry wanted to go faster, so he angled his wand to make the small white beagle fly around the room and let out a laugh seeing Harry stretch out his paws like a comic book hero would do as they flew around without a broom.  Still keeping most of his focus on keeping Harry aloft, Blaise spoke out of the corner of his mouth to the table.  "Can I get a cape on Harry?"

"Sure thing," Draco said as he transfigured a napkin into a cape before sending it over to Harry.  Ron and Theo did the same thing but sent their transfigured napkins to the two stuffed toys.

 

"Sees we is Supewhewos," Harry said proudly as a cape flew over to him.

"Up, up, and away," Sammy said doing a little spiral in their air until his nose touched the high ceiling of the clan rooms.

"I will take a bite out of crime," Yeontan said doing cartwheels in the air.

"No bad person can stop us no mowe Mommies or Daddies shall be killed like mine before Papa weww," Harry said.

Right," his friends said as they moved into position behind him so the three formed a small arrow as they did a lap around the room before coming into land on the table where Harry's Papa, Aunts, and Uncles were all studying their big person stuff.

"I got you Harry, that was some great flying," Papa said as he used his wand to direct Harry into his arms.

"Did you see that Papa?  Sammy, Yeontan, and me awe Supewhewos.  Now no one will be bad and kills othews ow hit them in angew," Harry said.

"That is right Harry," Blaise said thinking of why Harry chose those two examples as the ones he had to live when he was younger.

Notes:

* I wanted a remote location for Ginny to be sent to away from everyone else which meant the Russian Tundra or the middle of the South American Rainforest. I choose the Tundra for if she was in the rainforest Ginny might try to attract someone by wearing skimpy clothing something that is not an option in the Tundra.

Chapter 16: Arthor's note, and catching up

Summary:

A combination of an Author's note and catching up with the Weasley Twins.

Notes:

As I was doing my usual reread of the story, I noticed some things which I thought needed to be addressed but were too long to but into these notes. I also came up with more of the story so rather than post two chapters, I decided to combine the note with the next part of the story.

Also sorry for taking so long, over a year again, to add a chapter to this tale.

Part 1: Author's Note.

 

One of the first things I noticed during my recent reread, is that I have made no mention of Prefects or Headboy/Girl. And since I had the entire St. Clair Clan ride to Hogwarts together this would mean Hermione, Ron, and Draco were no longer Prefecrts. The way I see it is that the staff does not assign the Seventh Year Prefects or choose the Head boy/girl until each person goes through their Presenting. This way if say Hermione who was in line for Headgirl no longer wants to do it fearing that some might not follow her because she is a Submissive they can back out.

 

I have no idea who was chosen as Head boy/girl since those roles are not important to the story, I just know that Ron, Draco, and Hermione turned down the continued posting of Prefects after they went through their Presenting. The ability to choose if they continue as a Prefect and Head student after they find out their role is also how I see James Potter becoming Headboy when Remus had been the one in the group who had been a Prefect. Remus, knowing he would become an Alpha or Omega due to being a Werewolf, had chosen not to become Headboy when no notice arrived after he found out he was an Alpha.

 

Remus tried to determine if the lack of a note came from his partner not being of age yet, or some other reason decided to remain just a Prefect rather than become the Head Boy. Lily who had become Headgirl talked to Professor Dumbledore and the Heads of Houses to let James become the Headboy. Not only so she could spend more time with her new Submissive, but also as a way to keep James out of trouble.

 

In Harry's trip to Classy's where he met up with his two best friends and their dominants, the group came across Crabbe and Goyle. As it was stated in the chapter, a Submissive is needed to find the store for the first time. Yet the pair targeted Ron, Hermione, and Harry as a trio of Submissives. So one might wonder who their Submissives are or where they were for that matter. What I came up with as I did my reread was Crabbe and Goyle were partners themselves, a Master and Pet combo. But considering they had bullied the Golden Trio before their Presenting, and the trio all being Submissives, the pair decided to continue to bully them. I will also say I have no idea which of the pair is the Master and who is the Pet.

 

Fred while he is a Little tends to be around fourteen to fifteen years old in his Little Space, and never has any problems hanging out with Harry despite Harry's Little Side being around five to six years old. This is due to the Weasley family and having and loving to spend time with his younger siblings as they grew up despite their age differences.

 

There is also the matter of Charlie's partner. In the first chapter, I mention that he was a Master without a pet. Now this could be that like Remus, he did not get a notice when he Presented since his Pet was not of a certain age yet. Or it could be that while he became a Master Charlie is a Sex-repulsed Asexual so he had no set mate but has to find either a Pet or a Neutral who is willing to bond with him knowing he does not want to have sex.

 

This also brings me to the thruple of Sirius, Remus, and Tonks. The way I see it Sirius is only bonded to Remus, not Tonks, hence why he did not feel the need to stay with them during her Heat Cycle when Harry went in to get tested during the summer. Remus is bonded to both of them but Sirius and Tonks don't do anything with each other.

 

Part 2: Catching Up

 

Fred and George were going over their figures for the last month. "The hats and tails are doing good, but I think we could do better," George said as the looked over the newest items they were selling thanks to Luna's Magical Hats and the tails they had given to Harry after Samhain.

"What if we contact Classy's to see if they would be willing to stock them for other Littles and their Caregivers," Fred suggested.

"That might work," George said nodding as he pulled over some of their business letterhead and started writing a business proposal to the other store.

"If they agree, maybe we could also talk to Zonko to sell them around Samhain, especially if Hogwarts decides to make the costume party and trick-and-treating after this year," Fred said smiling a little wishing the school had done it when they attended classes.

"Hey if Hogwarts doesn't we could make it part of a seasonal sale," George said his grin growing even larger at the idea.

 

 

As George neared the end of the letter two owls arrived dropping off some mail. Since he had nothing to do until he had to sign his name at the bottom of the business letter, Fred grabbed the top letter and began to read it. "Hey, Oliver and Marcus said yes," Fred reported.

"That is great, Perc must be over the moon," George said.

"His hand was actually shaking as he wrote the letter," Fred said turning the page over so George could see it.

"How can you read that?" George asked squinting at the lines on the letter as if they were written in a different language.

"It is not that hard, though it could be due to being a Little. You know we had some bad handwriting back when we were kids as do most kids. Maybe being able to read and write like that is part of being a Little," Fred said with a shrug.

"If that is true, it is an aspect of Littles that is not common knowledge," George said. After he had become his older twin brother's Caretaker, George had researched all he could about Littles so he would not make a mistake.

 

"So who is the other letter from?" George asked.

"Ron.... Holy Hippogrif Shit!" Fred said as he read the letter ignoring for the moment a picture that had fallen out of the letter.

"Language, but what is wrong?" George asked fearing something had happened to Ron and the others.

"Nothing is wrong," Fred said. "Ron's pregnant."

"Mom is going to join Percy on the other side of the moon," George said as he took the letter to read for himself.

 

When both twins had read Ron's letter, they could not help but spend a few moments cursing Ginny. Sure they had known what she had done to Harry after he had gained his Animagus form, but it seemed Ron had not wanted to tell about his and Draco's kid until their Clan had helped Harry deal with his fear of becoming "Snoopy" again. Fred had just been glad that Ginny had never seen his Animagus form, though he doubted she could have hurt him as she had with Harry due to his form's scales.

The letter also had a part written by Blaise explaining how Harry had changed for the first time. Fred guessed the younger Caregiver had added it in case Fred had not found his Animagus form and wanted to make sure he had not tried to block it as Harry had initially done during their date. That was the only conclusion Fred could come to since he and George both knew that it was not a commonly known fact that Magical Littles of any age range could easily harness their Animagus form. They were also surprised by the amount of detail Blaise had given them as he even wrote about his and Harry's conversation before the change. George guessed that the younger Dominant was possibly seeking advice about job prospects for Littles even though Fred was in the highest age range rather than the middle one like Harry was.

 

George turned to Fred to ask if they should put some feelers out for middle-range Little's job prospects when he noticed the photo that had fallen out of Ron's letter. As it had landed facedown, on their shared desk, both twins leaned in to see what it was at the same time. Both could not help but coo a little as Fred instantly shifted into his Little Space at the sight of Sammy, Yeotan, and a white dog with black ears floating around the picture all with capes attached to them. The pair noticed a caption at the bottom which revealed the dog was Harry's new Snoopy form and the photo had been taken during a recent study session where the rest of the clan and some guests had been working on N.E.W.T.s prep by casting spells on Harry and his stuffed friends.

 

"He is so lucky," Fred said as he reached over to grab Bingo Ate Bananas so his Friend could see Harry's animal form flying around with his stuffed friends.

"I know right," Bingo said.

"You can already fly in your Animagus form," George pointed out.

"True, but Bingo can't," Fred said.

"That's right," Bingo agreed.

"Well, how about we send Harry and the others a picture of you flying around with Bingo," George suggested.

"Great idea," Fred said as he placed Bingo on the desk and transformed into his Animagus form.

 

George went to get a camera to take the photo of Fred in his "Wings" form, which was a small purple dragon. And while Fred had an older age in his Little Space and knew the spell the others had cast on Sammy and Yeotan, acted surprised alongside Bingo as George cast a spell to make the white teddy bear fly alongside his dragon form. As Fred enjoyed flying around with Bingo, his mind also thought about Harry and possible jobs the younger Little might be able to find. With a burst of inspiration, it came to him making him stop flying and hover in place for a moment. George not expecting his sudden stop could not prevent Bingo from flying into him.

"Sorry, Freddie. It seems I have not mastered flying yet," Bingo apologized.

"It is my fault," Fred said as he spun around and grabbed his friend before changing back into his human form.

 

"George, I just had a great idea," Fred said beaming at his Caretaker.

"Oh, no," George teased.

"Hey, this is a good one," Fred teased back. "We know the hat and tails we have been selling at the Hogsmeade branch is down to Harry wearing them around Hogwarts and the village. So what if we see if he wants to work with us as a sort of prank tester? Nothing too bad obviously but we could have him use it, or use it on ourselves and gauge how funny he thinks they are."

"You know, you were right that is a good one," George said as he started to write a letter to Blaise with Fred's idea as well as the photo of Wings and Bingo flying around. He also told his fellow Caregiver to send Ron congratulations on his pregnancy. And passed on the news, in case Percy had not written to Ron about his coming Marriage to Oliver and Marcus.

 

Magical Minimum Security Prison Lvjise

 

Vernon could not believe he had been arrested. Not only had he been dragged off by a couple of cops from his own office, but rather than normal police officers, he discovered he had been brought in by a pair of Freaks. Yes, he had been charged for his actions at meeting his nephew at McDonalds and finding out the freak was a Little. There should not have been any reason for the freaks people to get involved in the case. How was he supposed to know that the freaks would look into the years his nephew had been living with his family and discovered they had abused him? Or that the line of money they had been given access to to care for the freak had been used not on his nephew but for the betterment of his family.

 

Vernon saw it as natural if he, his wife, and his son were better off thanks to the money the freak's life would be better as well. And he had spent time teaching the brat some life skills by making him clean the house and garden for them. But because he had the brat do everything by hand rather than their freaky blood magic he was a bad man who needed to be sent to jail for forty-five years.

 

The only upside of this place, such as it was, was that he had been able to catch sight of both his wife and son. So at least they were not separated from each other. His wife during a meeting they had been allowed to have with each other, also pointed out that since this hell hole was ranked as a minimum security prison there were no Dementors. He had no idea what they were but from what she said about them he was also glad they were not around.

 

He was also glad that Marge was not around, considering he had passed some of the money his family had been given to her to make her not look too deeply into his nephew's past. Vernon knew that she had used the money to bribe some people about the conditions at her kennels. He could only assume that since she did not know the freak world she had been sent to normal prison. He would hate to find out she had somehow got off scot-free from this. Maybe he should take to one of the freak Guards to make sure Marge got punished as well.

Notes:

Fred's Animagus form is an Easter Egg to his and Geroge's mate Kevin from Elf, Veela, and Kitsune story.

As Harry was removed from the Dursleys right after the end of his Fourth Year, Dudley did not have an encounter with a Dementor with Harry during the summer before Harry's Fifth Year.

Chapter 17: Further notes on Littles

Summary:

some addendum to the information on Littles that was posted back in the first chapter. Mostly regarding their Asexual natures.

Notes:

I recently got a comment that I should remove the Blaise/Harry tag due to Harry being Asexual since the commenter said it is reserved for only sexual relationships and since Harry is a Little and Asexual, I assume they figure there could be no sexual relationship that could happen between Blaise and Harry.

I will point out that I use the tag with the slash to tag all my romantic relationships, or at least the main ones of the story when I write. I had thought about doing another chapter out of spit like I did when I got an Acephboic comment at work leading to my "Not Broken" storyline in my Half-Brewed collection but decided just to lay some knowledge down. This chapter deals with Asexuals not just ones that are Little in Universe but all Asexuals. As I have stated in several of my stories I myself am a Sexual-Repulsed Homoromantic Asexual.

That being said this chapter could be seen as another Author's note but it will also include some information that I might make use of later. The majority of this short chapter will be done as an excerpt from a book with the person responsible being a version of my actual name making this one of the few times I do a self-insert into my stories.

Littles and their Sexuality: A Study by Joseph O'Brien

 

It is a well-documented fact that people who have gained the Classification of Littles are considered Asexual. That being said, just like non-Little Asexuals, they can have sex just as readily as anyone else. The difference between Littles and non-Little Asexuals is that Littles if they form a romantic relationship which could lead to sex it will only form between them and their Caretaker.

 

On the other hand, a Caretaker can have a romantic/sexual relationship outside their Littles, though most choose not to develop such a relationship since their bond with a Little will always come first. There is only one time that a Little might have sex with someone other than their Caregiver, and that is in the random occurrence that the Little's Caregiver is a member of their immediate family. If the Little is sexually favorable and has a Caregiver who is a member of their family, the Little and Caregiver will normally look through prospective partners for a Little as one would look for a marriage in some Asianic cultures. A Little might also seek a partner other than their Caretaker depending on the gender of the pair and whether the Little considers themselves Hetroromantic, Homoromantic, Biromantic, or other.

 

While Littles can be sexually favorable or negative based on the person's preference, if a female Little ends up getting pregnant, their body will prevent them from entering their Little State during their pregnancy and for a few months after their child is born. This is the one time that a Little can safely go this long without entering their Little state since the person's body and in the case of a Magical, magic will protect the Little and their unborn child. In some cases, such as a Little who spends most of their time in Little Space apart from their dating their partner, their being unable to enter Little Space is the first sign they are pregnant.

 

Most Littles who start dating their Caregivers can be considered sexually neutral Asexuals and might only have sex after long discussions with their partner. Due to a Little being in Little Space, the pair will discuss measures to make sure both parties remain "Big" for even those Littles in the eldest zone if they are in Little Space the sexual act even if both parties are willing is considered child abuse and pedophilia no matter the actual age of the Little's "Big" side.

 

Littles of any age zone might also masturbate even when they are in Little Space. Caregivers and others who might look after Littles do not punish them for this act even if they are in the younger age range since it is still perfectly natural. Just as it is natural for a non-Little Asexual to masturbate if they wish to without scorn or ridicule.

 

In the curious case of a Hybrid who has partly classified as a Little, they are more prone to me sexually acceptable and are more likely to date and have sexual relations with someone other than their caregiver, even if said caregiver is not related to them.

 

A Little who ends up having a partner that is not their Caregiver for whatever reason will still have the strongest bond with their Caretaker. Hence why it is important for any non-Caretakers who enter into a relationship with a Little to know that they will always be second to the Little's Caretaker. If there is conflict between the Little's partners and Caretakes it is important to never show any animosity towards each other in front of the Little even when they are "Big." A Little who witnesses issues between any romantic partner and their Caretaker might end up blaming and hurting themselves for any issue that there is. If the issues between the pair become too much that they can not be in the same area as each other, the pair should work out a schedule to spend time with the Little. The Little should be brought into this discussion and planning even if they are not fully informed of any issues that might be in place.

 

Character Information.

 

As there have been three characters who have been classified as Littles in this story, just for ease of reference I shall state what each of them are.

 

Fred Weasley is an Aromatic Asexual and experiences no Sexual desires. Due to his Caregiver being his younger twin brother, Fred is also Sexually Repulsed.

 

Harry Potter, is a Demisexual who thanks to his bond with his Caregiver Blaise has started to date him. Harry like the majority of Littles is Sexually Neutral so at some point, most likely after they leave Hogwarts, he and Blaise might end up having sex.

 

Ginny Weasley, as a hybrid Little-Pet-Neutral, she is Sexually Agreeable. I will not get into anyone she might end up with since due to her actions towards Harry, the others will keep her away even if she is now a fellow Little to a certain degree.

Chapter 18: A Little's NEWTS

Summary:

Harry has special NEWTS due to his Little nature.

Notes:

I am sorry for the long absence of actual story material for this work. I had not found any material in Age Play to keep my interest in the subject, and lost my interest in the original basis for this story, BTS, so I had trouble coming up with more to add.

Due to those factors, this story will not last much longer, hence why there is a rather large time skip between this chapter and the last one that focused on Harry and the others. Which had taken place maybe in March, yet as this chapter deals with Harry taking his NEWTs as a Little, it is at least May.

A reminder, since it has been a while, Snoopy is the name of Harry's Animagus form given to him by Hermione; it is a white beagle with black ears like the character from Peanuts.

As their NEWTs approached, Blaise began to worry about how the test would be done for Harry. Sure, during classes that year, Harry had his worksheets and games for the three classes he took, Charms, Defesne, and Transfiguration, but he had not been allowed to take the practice test around the Yule. According to the Weasley Twins, Fred had to take his NEWTs during his final year at Hogwarts. But then again, Fred was in the oldest age range for a Little. Hermione had also looked into the matter herself for one of their Clan meetings, around the time she had drawn up study schedules for everyone. She had found proof that even Toddler/Baby age Littles had to take NEWTs, but had not found any evidence of how the tests were done.

 

Blaise felt that if the examiners used methods to make sure Littles stayed Big, he should have been told about it, or if not him, Draco, since his friend was the leader of their Clan. But neither Headmistress McGonagall nor any Ministry Worker had sent anything to find out Harry's triggers to keep him Big for the test. Another issue the Caregiver had during all this was that he had to get ready for his own NEWTs and could not fully focus on how Harry would be tested. He was slightly thankful that both his and Harry's families were rather well off, so if something went wrong and they got bad grades on their tests, they would not struggle to get by if it took them a while to find jobs.

 

Once again, it also did not hurt that Fred and George had sent Harry and him a job offer for Harry to test out some of their prank products before they started to sell them in their stores. George had even written that after some discussion with Luna Lovegood, they had started to sell versions of her Animal Hats and had made some good money off of them, even from non-Littles and their Caregivers. Thanks to hearing about Hannah Abbot's interest in the magical television and tape player combo, the twins had even talked to their parents and had started to sell the TV/VCR players as well. From the letter Blaise had received, it seemed to drum up some business; the twins had set up one of the TV/VCRs in the window of their shop and would play random Disney movies to attract customers. George did say that he had to cast a spell on Fred to block the TV from his brother lest he turn Little at the wrong time, not to mention he would never play Beauty and the Beast since it was Fred's favorite.

 

On the first day of their NEWTs, Blaise still had no idea how Harry's test would be administered as their Clan entered the Great Hall to receive their test schedules. He became even more confused when the examiners gave the schedules to everyone in the St. Clair Clan except for Harry. "I was told Harry still needed to take his NEWTs even though he is a Little," Blaise said to the examiner who had given them their documents before they moved on.

"Young Mr. Potter will still be tested, but due to his classification, it is rather unique," the examiner said, starting to move away.

"And he is to come to our test or what?" Blaise asked wanted to know what he was supposed to do.

"Professor Flitwick will meet you at your exams," the examiner said.

"Professor Flitwick?" Blaise asked, a little confused.

 

"It is alright, you will see," the man said, moving over to one of the other clans that had formed during the school year to pass over their schedules.

"I guess I have no choice," Blaise muttered to himself, though smiling a little as Harry, feeling a little bored just standing around as the schedules were being handed out had begun to do strange little dance that incorporated shifting into Snoopy every couple of minutes.

 

When Blaise brought Harry to the first NEWT that the Little took, he found the small Charms professor waiting for them. "Ah, Heir Zabini, good luck on your test, I will take Harry now," Professor Flitwick said, holding out his hand to the Little.

"Papa?" Harry asked, looking between Blaise and Professor Flitwick.

"Look, can you at least explain what is going on, Sir?" Blaise asked, willing to fail his test by keeping Harry with him until he got some proper answers.

"It is simple, Heir Zabini. While you students are not aware of it, I am actually a Caregiver. Since I had never found a little, if one is found at Hogwarts I proctor their test for them," Professor Flitwick said, making Hermione let out a sound of surprise since the Charms Master never hid the fact that he was part-Goblin meaning he had Creature Blood but had become a Caregiver rather than an Alpha or Omega.

"But what are Harry's tests going to be like?" Blaise asked.

"Come with me, Heir Zabini, and I will show you. Unfortunately, the rest of your clan are not allowed to come," Professor Flitwick said, as the rest of Clan St. Clair turned to follow as well.

 

Blaise was led to a side room, which was filled with several toys, making Harry smile and try to move forward to play with them, but he was held back by Blaise holding his hand. "I don't get it," Blaise said.

"As a Little under the Teenage range, Harry would find it utterly dull to take a normal test. So the ICW came up with ways to test Littles by using enchanted objects. For Charms that means toys, he will be allowed to play, but certain things will happen as he does so, which will cause his unfocused magic to react, thus giving us some indication of his skill in the field," Professor Flitwick explained. "What's more, your assigned seat is outside this room, and you will be allowed to look in to check on Harry if you wish. Though I would try to contain yourself and focus on your own test. Also, since we are aware that Harry is only taking three tests and you and the other members of your clan are taking more, when you are all getting tested, Harry will come to this room to play. Though with non-enchanted items."

 

"Why could we not find out any of this beforehand?" Blaise asked.

"For Harry's and other Little's protection. Only the Caregiver is told what their Little's NEWTs are so those who are immune to Little's Protection Magic will not target them for having tests that are just them playing around," Professor Flitwick said, shaking his head sadly at the very idea. "This is also why out of all the staff, I am the one to proctor the test since I am the only Caregiver at Hogwarts. When I retire, only another Caregiver can take my place. And before you ask, in case you end up looking for a job in the future, the post can only be taken by a Caregiver who has never found a Little. This is why, even though I was around when Harry received his Classification, I was not asked to see if he would accept me as his Caregiver. Speaking as a fellow Caregiver, you have done a great job with him, and not just because of your classification, but also handling the whole Blocking trouble at the start of the year and Ms. Weasley's interference."

"Thank you, Professor," Blaise said, finding tears came to his eyes from the Charm Master's words.

"While you are still a student for a little while yet, being told of Harry's test and my Classification and special role at this school grants you permission to call me by my first name," Flitwick said as he reached forward shaking Blaise's hand before taking Harry's hand to start his test and motioning Blaise to leave to do his own.

 

"Well, as your Papa and Clan are taking their test, how about you play some games with me, Harry?" Flitwick said as Blaise left the room for his Charms NEWT.

"Any game, Gappy Flitwick?" Harry asked, looking around at all the toys in the room.

"Which ever one you want, Harry," Flitwick said with a large smile on his face.

"Cool," Harry said as he ran to a toy box and began to pull stuff out, looking for something to play with. After a bit, he found some army men, like the ones he had stolled from Dudley back when he lived with the Dursleys and not with his Papa and family. "Can we play with these Gappy Flitwick?" he asked, showing his find to the small, kindly man.

"Of course, Harry," Flitwick said as he pulled out a play set for the army men to use for their battle, smiling as Harry set up the figures. After Harry set up most of the army men from the container, Flitwick activated the enchantments on it to start Harry's test. "So are you going to be the green army men or the brown ones?" Flitwick asked.

 

"Um... Green like Papa, Uncle Dray, and Theo's robes," Harry said after a bit of thought. Flitwick smiled as the enchantments took effect, as the green army men lost certain soldier types compared to their brown counterparts, which Harry did not notice as he placed them on the playset.

"So, which of your green men is your team's leader?" Flitwick asked.

"This one," Harry said proudly, picking up one of the toys, which made Flitwick smile, seeing Harry had chosen a basic trooper rather than one that had a bazooka which actually counted as part of the test. The leader piece was also tied to Harry's to allow him to move it with his magic during the game.

As Harry put his leader back down, Flitwick smiled as he told the Little, "Since it is your game, you can have the first move."

 

"Move?" Harry asked, confused, thinking of just using the toy soldiers to play at war, not move like Uncle Wonny did when he played Chest with others. Flitwick began to explain how each soldier worked, the gunners attacking only the place right before them and being able to move a three squares, a bazooka user being able to hit four to five places before them in a straight line but only able to move a square at a time, as well as Mortar users who could hit things only five to eight squares in front of them but were unable to move. After explaining the toy's attacks, Flitwick allowed Harry to reposition his soldiers if he wanted to before he began.

 

As the game began, Harry gave a sound of surprise as he decided on his first move, but before he could touch the piece, the toy in question moved on its own. Since the test was only on Harry's use of Magic, when it was Flitwick's turn, he had to move his pieces, but any movement or attack was done by Harry's forces; they would be moved and attacked magically. While the game could be seen as a part of a Defense test, rather than Charms, all of the army men's attacks showed off spells Harry had learned in Charms. The attacks not only affected Flitwick's soldiers but also the environment. Flitwick had to smile as, during one attack from one of Harry's two bazooka users to one of his forces, which was behind cover, the attack had been accompanied by a Levitating Charm to allow the attack to go over the cover to reach Flitwick's piece.

 

While the use of magic made the game interesting, Harry lost interest in it before it ended. Flitwick was a little sad to see that Harry had not noticed that he had fewer of certain pieces than Flitwick had, which counted against him during that part of the test. Leaving the army men behind, Harry grabbed a new game, this one a simple coloring book and some crayons. As Harry began to color in a picture, Flitwick tied the Little's magic to the book and crayons. This time, Harry noticed right away when the change happened as the colors he was using started to change shades as he drew. For this portion of the test, Harry finished the whole picture and had used multiple colors rather than relying on the color-changing crayons, which would have counted against him. He stayed within the lines, as Flitwick had seen in his previous pages, so the change had not made him alter his style and somehow even matched with the different shades produced by the enchanted crayons. Harry finished the second part of the test by tearing out his picture and giving it over to Flitwick, who had eagerly accepted it and planned on hanging it in his office with the other Little test pictures he had received over the years.

 

"I think we have time for one more game, Harry, before your Papa is done with his test," Flitwick said, seeing the clock on the wall.

"Okey-donkey," Harry said, making Flitwick chuckle. As Harry moved to grab another game, Flitwick activated the last part of the Little's Charms Exam. He also braced himself due to what the spell would do. As Harry found the next toy to play with and grabbed for it, the toy floated to the ceiling and out of Harry's reach. It sort of broke Flitwick's heart when Harry did not complain or throw a fit as most Littles tended to do when this part of the test began. Rather, Harry decided to play with another toy. It took four toys floating out of his reach before Harry reacted. "Naughty toys get down hewe now," Harry ordered the floating toys as he subconsciously activated his magic. The four toys moved lower but stayed out of Harry's reach. "I knows," Harry said to himself. "Puppy power."

 

Flitwick, who had seen several Little's tests over the years, was shocked as, rather than telling the toys to come down again or build something to reach them, Harry changed into his Animagus form. Outside the room. Blaise, who had already finished his test and was watching Harry's exam, wanted to facepalm thinking of the practice sessions he and the others had used, which often allowed Harry, Sammy, and Yeontan to "fly" around the room.

 

As Harry became Snoopy, he started to waggle his ears and bounce around as he got ready to fly like a supewhewo just as he did at home. Watching it from outside, Blaise winces, thinking that due to him and the others, Harry would fail this part of the test, unaware of how much of the exam had tied into Harry's magic. Blaise's mouth fell open in surprise as Harry's magic allowed him to start flying as Snoopy by himself as he took off from the ground to collect the floating toys. Blaise was not the only one surprised as Flitwick, having never seen another Little do this before, gave a small cheer, giving Harry some extra points due to originality.

 

After collecting all the naughty toys that had started to fly away, Harry returned to the ground and changed back into his human form. "Wight the toys awe being goody now. we play," Harry said as he took the first toy that had flown away from him and began to play with it. Flitwick smiled as Harry spent the rest of the time assembling the puzzle he had collected and ordering any piece that started to float away again back down. As the pieces followed the order, they also landed in the right place to assemble the puzzle, which only happened due to Harry's magical skill.

 

 

As the Charms NEWT ended, Flitwick went over everything that had happened during the test and gave Harry an EE grade for his subconscious skill in the subject.

 

The next test that Harry had to take was for Defense, so rather than board games and toys, Harry's test involved him playing more active games, such as throwing balls, jump rope, and other stuff that any kid might do during gym class. As a part of the test, Harry's aim, as they played a game of catch, Flitwick moved around the room. Since Harry was able to get his ball right to Flitwick's hands without the Charms Master from having to having to stretch out or reach for it. Harry's defensive magic was tested during a game of four-square, where Flitwick created two golems to play with them. Just like the Charm's exam, Harry's test was tied to what was going on in the room, so that when Harry hit the ball to one of the other squares, magic would surround it. Due to the spells in the room, the enchanted ball did not hurt Flitwick or the golems, but the three had indicators to see if the spells had not been dampened, what would happen to them, sort of like a video game character's life points. When their "life points" reached zero, Flitwick and the Golems would purposely mess up to put them in the last square.

 

During this part of the test, Harry was graded not only for how many "attacks" would cause them to lose their "life points' but also how long he was able to remain in the first square. Not counting the times the Little missed the ball and was sent back to the last square himself.

 

After the game of Four Square, which did end up taking most of the exam time, Harry jumped rope for a bit. As he jumped rope, an aura that he could not see would surround him, gathering strength until it had become as strong as Harry could make it. Due to the enchantments on the testing room, the jump rope was shifted by Harry's magic to prevent him from tripping as he played until the aura was at its strongest. As Harry stumbled over the rope, the aura ended up casting any spell that Harry had mastered during his time at Hogwarts that was classified as Defense Magic. Each spell shoots out and hits a summoned target which revealing what the spell had been. Flitwick quickly jotted down the spells that were revealed, whistling to himself a little to see that one of the spells was a Patronus Charm. Flitwick knew Harry had been taught to cast the spell, but to have also mastered it was something else entirely.

 

As he complied Harry's Defense NEWT, Flitwick saw that the Little had scored so high he had achieved an O grade, something rather unheard of for any Little's NEWTs, let alone one in Defense Magic.

 

During the next couple of tests done by Harry's clan, Harry was allowed to choose the activity he did with Flitwick since he did not have any of the classes that the others were being tested on. During the last day of testing, when Harry had his Transfiguration NEWT he found the room filled with art supplies. "Today we are going to play with some Play-Doh," Flitwick said, with a smile, knowing that most Littles loved the Transfiguration test the most. "As well as painting," the Charms Master said, nodding at some finger paints. As the field of Transfiguration dealt with changing one thing into another, the Little's exam for the subject was making art projects. As Harry would learn, his magic would react as he created things, making them easier to change and, in some cases, identify for others, unlike some young children's art.

 

As Harry had neither in his normal childhood nor as a Little had played with Play-Doh or finger painted, this was all new to him. He decided that he would first use the multicolored Play-Doh to make a copy of his Papa. With the enchantments activated for the test, he was easily able to create his Papa's legs in red before getting his tummy and arms in green. It took Harry a while to get his Papa's head just right using yellow Play-Doh, which he had been using due to Papa smelling like Sunshine when Harry was Snoopy.

 

Flitwick made note of how fast Harry had been able to create the Play-Doh figure of Blaise, as well as taking in certain details for grading, as Harry started on his next piece. While Harry loved his Papa and the rest of his clan family, there really was no contest of who was his second choice of model as he grabbed some orange Play-Doh and began to make a copy of Sammy. While Flitwick was aware of Harry's first toy and could see that it was the Little's second creation, he still asked, "I see you made your Papa first, but who is that?"

"This is Sammy Jw.," Harry said proudly as he held up the Play-Doh cat to Gappy Flitwick.

"I see," Flitwick said, holding his breath to see if Harry's magical skill was great enough for some added points for this part of the test.

"Does he like being called Sammy Jr., or does he want a different name, just as you are called Harry and your birth Papa was known as James?" Flitwick asked, leading Harry to perform a test of his magic.

"I don't know, I'l ask," Harry said.

 

Flitwick smiled and gave Harry some bonus points as he saw Harry apologize to his Play-Doh cat for giving it a name it did not want. Granted, the Little would have also earned points if he had informed the Caretaker that Sammy Jr. was alright with the name Harry had given it.

 

Flitwick also saw that since Harry was able to talk to the Play-Doh cat, it made him reluctant to create another model as the Little went to wash his hands before he started to finger paint. Once more, the colors began to change as Harry used them as the Little's subconscious magic interacted with them. Thus, while only having rather bright and childish colors, Harry was able to use his finger paints to create what looked like professional portraits of the members of his Clan, as well as Sirius, Remus, and Tonks.

 

Flitwick actually had to leave Harry for a bit to allow Blaise to re-enter the room, since, like most Littles during their Transfiguration NEWTs, Harry would not stop until he painted or created a representative of every member of his family. Meaning that the test went beyond the normal time limit, but thankfully, it was allowed, so there would be no points lost. As Harry was able to create a portrait of the members of his clan, his three adopted parents, and even family members of the clan members. With the obvious exception of Ginny, this showed Harry had some skill in Transfiguration, leading him to get an O on the test.

Chapter 19: Graduation and the future of the clan

Summary:

Harry and the others graduate from Hogwarts before deciding what to do with Clan St. Clair.

Unlike when they took their O.W.L.s back in their Fifth Year, all the Seventh Year Hogwarts students got the results from the N.E.W.T.s before the rest of the students boarded the train back to London. Everyone in Harry's year was told to remain behind as their families arrived for the graduation ceremony, where they would be handed their test results, akin to a Muggle getting their diploma. Only two students were notified of how well they did before the ceremony, Hemrione and Theo, and that was mostly due to the pair sharing the highest marks for their class. While Hermione was notified that she was tied with Theo, due to her classification as a submissive, Theo was awarded the Validictory spot. This was only due to old school bylaws, which stated if a submissive and dominant classification both tied for the top spot, the decision would come down to three factors.

 

One, if the pair of students were partners or in the same clan, the award would be given to the student with the dominant classification. Two, if either student had a special magical skill, such as All-Speech or Rune-Reading, which helped them in their classes, the other student would get the reward. And finally, if there were no other deciding factors, the Governors would look at the students' records from their time in school, taking note of the number of detentions the student was given, points rewarded/lost, as well as if they had held the post of Prefect or Head student.

 

While Theo and Hermione were partners, they had argued their case to Headmistress McGonagall to check other factors, if she could make sure Hermione was not passed over just because she was a Pet. As a fellow Pet, McGonagall turned to the Hogwarts Governors using Hermione's actions during the battle in the Ministry a few years ago to get them to make their final decision. Since neither Hermione nor Theo had any magical skills that helped them in their classes, the Governors went over the pair's school records. While Hermione had been a Prefect, unlike Theo, due to her 'adventures' with Harry and Ron as well as Umbridge's misuse of the points system, the Governors found Theo had earned the Validictorian title. This was due to Theo, as a member of Slytherin House, having not lost points when Umbridge had been in charge, and during his seven years at the castle, Theo had only earned a single detention.

 

Knowing that if Harry were in Little Space during the ceremony, he would find it boring and possibly disturb it, Flitwick watched over him again so that none of the Clan's families had to miss the show. Since Harry had still graduated, even if he might not understand what that meant, he would still receive his N.E.W.T.s; he would just get it at the very end. When it was time for Harry to get his results, Flitwick led him to the Great Hall and down the path past all the graduating class and their families. Headmistress McGonagall, seeing them coming, held up her hands to stop the clapping from the families that were unaware that Harry was coming. "Now, due to how rare they are, Hogwarts has not had a Little outside of the Teenage range graduate in over a century," the Headmistress said, making some start to clap again, but she held her hand back up to stop them. "But what is even more surprising is that a Little scores one O during one of their N.E.W.T.s; let alone two,' she added,d making the crowd gasp in shock. "But that is what Harry James Potter was able to do, so besides getting his results, the staff and Governors of Hogwarts reward him with this," McGonagall said as Harry reached her. She handed Harry's results to Flitwick before giving Harry a massive coloring book and some Little-targeted books on the subjects of Defense and Transfiguration. She then pulled out a toy necklace with a foil-wrapped chocolate piece attached and placed it on Harry's neck.

 

Everyone, except those who randomly were immune to a Little's presence, such as members of the Goyle and Crabbe family, all let out an 'aww' as Harry beamed at his reward before he gave Headmistress a tight hug. Surprisingly, as Harry hugged her, he found himself out of Little space, noticing that Professor Flitwick had pulled out the stuffed hyena toy he used when going on dates with Blaise to make him Big again. "I am sorry for forcing you out of Little Space, Harry," the Charms Master said. "But as what you managed to do as a Little is so rare, the staff thought we should give you the chance to say something if you wanted to.

"Thanks, Professor," Harry said, since unlike Blaise had not been permitted to call the man by his first name.

 

Taking the stuffed hyena from Flitwick, Harry attached it to his wrist as he took the podium. "I am sorry, since I am not much of a public speaker. At least when I am not in Little Space," Harry said, making some of the crowd chuckle. "I guess I own my high marks in both Transfiguration and Defense for what I had to do against Lord Darky Pants," he said to more laughs. "Um, I don't know what else to say. I know that Theo already did this with his speech, which he had practiced for the last couple of days. I was not even informed of what I would do during the ceremony, mostly due to how much time I spend in Little Space, so I have no prepared speech. I guess if anything, we can be thankful to the Hogwarts staff, our fellow students, and our families for helping us reach this point in our lives.

 

I guess if I had to say anything advice-wise wise I would use a quote from one of my Disney movies. I know the students and staff might know, but our families will not. 'The rhythm of the city, once you got it down, you can own this town and see who wears the crown.' Hey," he said, seeing some of his classmates' faces, "at least I did not sing it like my Little Side does, loudly and off-key," he said to more laughter as he left the podium.

"Now you can start clapping and celebrating," Headmistress McGonagall said, with a small smirk as she resumed her place before the podium and ended the ceremony.

 

Flitwick stayed with Harry, even if he wasn't in Little Space at the moment, in case he shifted, until they got back to Blaise and the rest of Harry's clan. The Charms Master then passed over Harry's results to Blaise before leaving the group to say some farewells to members of Ravenclaw House. While they were no longer the only Clan in their class, due to having a full group, Harry and the others waited near their seats for a bit to allow others to get out of the way to visit with friends and families before they left Hogwarts. As they waited, Harry felt himself shifting a couple of times in annoyance and having nothing else to do while holding a coloring book, but he would just shift his gaze to the stuffed hyena to stay Big.

 

Finally, after fifteen minutes, the group left their seats to join their families. "Congratulations, Pup," Remus said as he pulled Harry into an almost bone-breaking hug as his adopted son reached them.

"Thanks, Remus," Harry said, rubbing his sides a little once he was let go. While at the same time feeling a little proud of himself for not shifting as soon as he saw Remus and Sirius. "Where's Tonks?" he asked, not seeing his Adopted Mom.

"Well, we wanted to surprise you, but just like Ron, Tonks is expecting," Sirius said, pulling Harry into a hug of his own.

"I take it you had already let the others know, since they did not react to the news," Harry teased, since Hermione, Theo, Draco, Blaise, and Ron just beamed at him.

"We told them to keep it a secret so the news would not distract you from any studying you might have had before your test," Remus explained, as he pulled Tonks up from her seat.

 

Seeing her, and although he was wearing the stuffed hyena Big-side Trigger on his wrist, Harry instantly shifted into Little Space. "Gwammy, you are as big as Wonny," Harry said, making Ron blush a little as some of the surrounding families looked over to their group.

"Well, we found out you are going to be a big brother around the same time Wonny found himself expecting," Tonks said.

"Watch it, Nymphadora," Ron said in a mock serious tone. "Only Harry can call me that,"

"Alright, alright," Tonks said, her hair flashing red as it normally did when her first name was used.

 

"So what are your plans now that you have all graduated?" Molly asked.

"Well, technically, our Clan was a short-term one, that would last until we left school. So we all agreed to spend some time with our families for a bit before we revisit the idea," Draco said as the leader of the clan.

"So you are breaking up?" Hermione's dad asked, having only been informed that his daughter had joined a Clan and what that meant in the Magical World.

"More like taking a break," Hermione explained. "But not like that whole episode and plot of the American series you and Mum like."

"We agreed to spend some time with our families and even try to find some jobs before meeting up again in a month," Theo explained.

"Is everyone okay with that decision?" Sirius asked, shooting a look at Harry, who was not paying attention and spent his time either focusing on Tonk's pregnant belly or waving at people around them.

 

"He is, well, his Big Side is. He wants to see if we can handle things on our own, just like the others. Thanks to the offer from Fred and George, we already have a possible job lined up for him, so this time will help me know if I need help," Blaise explained.

"But does his Little side understand?" Tonks asked.

"We think so, we told him that we would no longer be living in Hogwarts and would have a 'month's vacation' apart from one another before we meet up again. His Big Side agreed that if he can handle the month apart just like I can handle taking care of him alone, we would not vote against if anyone else wants to end the Clan," Blaise said.

"Blasphemy," George teased, since he and Fred had already been informed of the Clan's plans so they could schedule Harry's new job with them around any issues that might come up.

 

As Blaise and Harry left Hogwarts, rather than go with Tonks, Remus, and Sirius, the pair traveled to Blaise's Mother's villa in the French Alps. This allowed Little Harry to spend some time with Grandmommy Adriana, since they had not had a chance to do more than a quick conversation with her before. Harry introduced Sammy and Yeontan to his Papa's Mommy, as well as showing her some of his drawings. Due to Hogwarts sending them over, Harry could also show off the art he had made of all the members of his family during his Transfiguration N.E.W.T., causing both his Papa and Grandmommy to congratulate him on a job well done.

 

Harry also learned some interesting things from his new Grandmommy, who, unlike Nana Sissa and Memaw Molly, did not like to cook. No, Grandmommy Adria liked to sing, so after watching some of his Disney movies with him, she would join him in singing along with them. She tried her best to help him improve his singing, not that it always worked.

 

One day, when they were just singing together, Grandmommy Adriana had set up a metronome to help keep the beat. Since he had never seen a metronome before, Harry started to focus on that rather than the song the pair had been singing as he nodded along with the musical tool. After a while, Blaise and his mother noticed Harry had started to hum along with his nodding, making them ask what song he was thinking of.

 

"It is no song but my own, Papa. The Monsonatone," Harry said, getting the name wrong, "ticking inspiwed me to make it."

"And what is it?" they both asked.

"To go with the ticking, names," Harry said as he waited for a bit before he began, " Snape, Snape, Mw. Snape. Dumbledowe. Snape, Snape, Mw. Snape. Dumbledowe. Snape, Snape, Mw. Snape. Dumbledowe. Won, Won Won Weasley," Harry said before singing an entire two-minute or so song he had just created using nothing but names of people he knew.*

"Very good, Harry, and very clever," Adriana said as she stopped the metronome so they could practice it together.

 

While Harry and Blaise found they could handle living by themselves for the month, they both missed the rest of the Clan St. Clair. Due to the fear that the others might have found it better to live by themselves from now on. Harry was in Big Space when they went to the meeting to discuss the future of the clan. Once more, the group met in St. Clar Manor, in the same exact room as they had been in when they had written up the original Clan agreement.

 

"Well, the month went by rather fast, eh?" Draco said as he started the meeting, arching an eyebrow a little, seeing that Harry was paying attention rather than coloring in one of his books. "So we have all had our time apart, does anyone wish to end our Clan?"

"Um, I am not sure about protocol here," Harry said, causing everyone to look at him.

"Go ahead," Draco said in a gentle voice.

"I know that Blaise and I agreed to vote with the majority for the future of the Clan if we found we could live by ourselves. And while we could, I don't want Clan St. Clair to end. You guys are more than my friends, you are my family."

 

"I agree," Ron said, leaning forward. "We got along fine, but it was so lonely without everyone. Plus, maybe I am being a little selfish, but I think once Lancer Arthur St. Clair-Weasley is born, we both might need some help," Ron said, taking Draco's hand.

"You found out the sex?" Hermione asked with a squeal of delight as she got out of her chair to go over to hug the pair.

"We also found it lonely," Theo said as Hermione returned to her seat. "And while we have not tried yet, I agree that when we do have kids, it would be nice to have some help. Not to mention, we sort of owe our new jobs to the Clan."

 

"What do you mean?" Harry, Blaise, and Ron asked. The only reason Draco did not ask was that, until the Clan was disbanded, he received updates from everyone but Harry of what was going on in their lives since he was the leader of the group.

"Well, Theo and I both want to go into working in the law, and Tonks's parents, after hearing us send resumes to the Ministry, offered us some internships to work at their Law office for a bit," Hermione explained.

"Which is nice since they deal not with big criminal cases, but family law and um, child abuse cases," Theo said, not catching anyone's eye. He had learned from Andy and Ted that after Clan St. Clair had been formed, Sirius, Remus, and Tonks had approached the pair to press charges against Harry's Muggle family and had been sworn to secrecy about it.

 

"So does anyone want to end the Clan?" Draco asked just to make sure.

"No," all but Ron said as he gave it a little flourish, seeing Harry was not in Little Space by saying "Hell No."

"Very well," Draco said as he pulled out a new Clan Contract, and they began to work on it. As Harry was able to remain Big, he was able to offer ideas for the new contract, which also unfortunately now contained the page dealing with any punishments he might receive while in Little Space. Harry's main contribution came from some research he had done during the past month, in case the others had wanted to end the clan. Harry might have been okay with it so long as the group still lived together, so he had looked into some of his family's properties.

 

"I don't mean to say your home is bad, Draco, but if we are to become a permanent clan, we should get our own place," Harry said.

"What do you have in mind?" Draco asked as the rest of the group, apart from Blaise, gave him questioning looks.

"I looked into some of my family's properties and found one that could work for all of us. It is large enough that in the future we could all have separate wings for when you and Ron start your family, or Hermione and Theo start theirs," Harry said, passing over the details on the Preverell Family Winter Castle. The castle was barely a quarter of Hogwarts' size but was larger than St. Clair Manor or any of the other properties the rest of the Clan owned.

"I guess we could use it for the time being," Draco said as he took a vote, and the others agreed to move in for a while. Harry could not help but smile a little as what he had hoped to accomplish was taken care of, letting him slip into Little Space. Since he had not been in Little Space during the majority of the meeting, they could not use one of his drawings as their permanent Clan Crest.

 

However, once Harry did slip into Little Space, he presented each of his family with the artwork he had made of them during his Transfiguration N.E.W.T., letting them serve as a sign of the group's Clan Status. Once the contract had been signed, but before they went to inform Draco's mother that they were moving out, Blaise had everyone remain in their seats so Harry could sing them his new song.

Notes:

*For some reason, I randomly wanted to have a story that references the Potter Puppet Pals in it for no apparent reason. And since 'The Mysterious Ticking Noise' is the only video I recall from that series, I thought it would be cute to have Little Harry make it up after hearing the ticking of a metronome. Also, since Little Harry did not take Potions due to his classification, he only knows Snape and Mr. Snape and would never call him Severus Snape, as it is in the actual song.

Also, since the Potter Puppet Pals are not min,e all thanks to their creator, Neil Cicierega, or at least that was the name of the YouTube account that has the song on it.

The voting was not even close. Everyone who participated wanted Clan St. Clair to stay together.

Chapter 20: How it all turns out

Summary:

My normal epilogue chapter looks at what happens to the characters in the future.

Hermione and Theo

 

Hermione and Theo got married a year after leaving Hogwarts. The rest of the Clan, as well as their bosses, actually had to force the pair to go on a Honeymoon since both had still wanted to work right after the ceremony. Due to Ted and Andy's law firm not being a family practice, Hermione experienced no discrimination or expectations that she was Theo's secretary just because she was a Pet. After the end of their internship at Tonks & Tonks Family Law, both Theo and Hermione got law degrees and stayed with the firm. After earning his degree, Theo became a Barrister, fighting injustice and protecting the innocent. Due to his skills in observation and a slight talent in reading Auras, he was able to determine if a possible client was, in fact, innocent. He would never take a client whose aura revealed their guilt, even if it would have been an easy win in court.

 

Hermione, on the other hand, after gaining her degree, returned to her first love, research. While she was just as passionate about law and order as Theo, as well as protecting the innocent, Hermione still did better going through records and material to help behind the scenes for the trial. Though others who worked at Tonks & Tonks had to sit her down and tell her to summarize the notes she passed on for their trials, so they could handle them more easily. The only two whom Hermione could give her full notes were Theo and Andy Tonks. Besides the amount of notes Hermione took to help out in trials, the one thing that most of the firm loved about her was how neat her writing was. Even when she was forced to summarize her notes and do it in a hurry, all her pages looked like they had been done on a Muggle computer.

 

Outside their work lives, Hermione and Theo loved each other deeply, and a year after their marriage, Hermione gave birth to twins. They named their daughter after the pair's mothers, Celstra 'Celly' Janet Nott, while their son was named after Hermione's father and Theo's Grandfather, Howard Legvistus Nott. With the birth of their twins, Hermione and Theo moved away from the central space in the Peverell Winter Castle and into one of the wings to give their direct family some more space. Before they had moved into the Wing, the only rooms that the husband and wife had used were some office areas with attached libraries in case they worked from home.

 

Theo and Hermione's third child, a boy named Harrison Silver Nott, was born four years later. With three children at home, Hermione spent more time at home while still doing research and writing notes for the others at the firm. Meanwhile, due to his record in cases, Theo had been promoted to Junior Partner with promises that if he kept it up, he would make full partner in a least ten years. While Theo was made Junior Partner, Hermione was promoted to the head of the firm's research department. Granted, some in the department did not like how she did things. This led Andy to come talk to her and get her to relax a little and treat the job less like the group was working on homework, which was due in a couple of hours.

 

Despite his new position and young kids at home, Theo did not look for a new place to work that would allow him to still spend time with his family. This was because Tonks & Tonks, while being a very successful law firm, was not that big. Since it had started as a family-owned law firm, they gave all their employees plenty of family-friendly benefits and resources to use. Also, thanks to Theo's grandfather, Legvistus Nott, who owned and ran Sycamore Academy, Hermione and he did not have to worry about trying to find a school to send their kids to that would hide the fact they were possibly Magical.

 

When Celly, Howard, and Harrison were old enough, they started at Hogwarts. The two boys ended up in Ravenclaw, as the only girl in the family ended up being sorted into Gryffindor like her mother. Celly, while looking just like her mother, was more of a Tomboy and would rather be out having fun than reading all the time. That plus hearing the stories of what her mother and Uncles had done at school, asked the Sorting Hat to place her in Gryffindor so she could have her own adventures at the school.

 

Surprisingly, all three of Hermione and Theo's kids gained different Classifications when they came of age. Celly being the largest shock as she became a Little in the Eldest grouping, finding a Caretaker with Hanah and Pansy Abbot-Parkinson's son, Jeremy. Howard, just like Theo, became a Master, while Harrison, to everyone's shock, became an Alpha despite the near lack of Creature Blood in the Nott family. Confronted by the strange phenomenon which she knew should not have happened, Hermione looked into both her and Theo's family to find out that she came from a Squibline which had some Gnome blood in it.

 

 

Ron and Draco

 

As an Omega, Ron could not apply to become an Auror due to his Heat and being able to get pregnant. This led him to apply to the Department of Magical Game and Sports. Ron was ecstatic when he got hired by the department, for part of his job required him to attend a certain number of Quidditch Matches and keep records of crowd turnouts. What was even better was since doing this at a Chuddly Canon's match was considered a sort of punishment in the department, Ron was basically able to attend all the matches of his favorite team for free. Though he always had to bring someone along to help remind him to focus on doing his job rather than only watching the match. The only time Ron would ever miss a Chuddy Canon match was when he was in Heat.

 

Thanks to taking the matches no one wanted to waste time seeing, Ron became somewhat popular in his department. Ron's love of the Canons never went away, leading him, even after he was promoted, to always attend their games and introduce his kids to them as well. Ron stayed with the Department for six years until the birth of his fourth child made him decide to become a stay-at-home father. Though he did work it out that he would still work the home games for the Canons, just to get free tickets to the matches for him and his kids.

 

Draco, after learning about his real father and what Lucius Malfoy had done to his family, changed his career. When he had been younger, he had wanted to follow Lucius's footsteps and become a Barrister, but decided to follow his other love, potion making. Shocking some people, Draco chose to stay at home with his and Ron's son as he spent his time earning his Masters in Potioneering. Thankfully, his Godfather, Severus, allowed Draco to train under him. Draco's training helped reduce Snape's workload in brewing for the school, and some changes were made as the Governors were finally able to overturn Headmaster Dippet's decision to remove the Apprenticeship program at Hogwarts.

 

While Headmistress McGonagall approved of Draco's apprenticeship under Snape, which mostly involved the young Alpha working outside the school, she worked a clause in Draco's contract so that at least twice a month, he would come to Hogwarts and hopefully bring Harry along. As Draco would work with Severus, Harry would go around the school just having fun. McGonagall worded the clause in such a way that it would not upset either Draco, the Clan as a whole, or Blaise when she asked if it was possible for Blaise not to come during Draco's visits. She reasoned that, due to how rare Littles were, she wanted the students who had become Caretakers a chance to work with a Little in case they never found their own. Blaise found out later that this suggestion had been brought up by Filius, who would retire in a few years and wanted to find a replacement unattached Caregiver for the staff.

 

Working with Severus, Draco was able to earn his Masters in six years, making him the second youngest person to earn it in the last century and a half. Rather than become a teacher like his Godfather, however, Draco started a business to brew potions as requested by his clients. Sometimes actually helped by Hermione if she had the time. As his business was all done via the post, Draco was still able to work from home, though in a heavily Warded Potions lab away from everyone else for Harry and the Clan's kids' safety.

 

Ron and Draco ended up having five kids in total, which was a shock when, unlike the rest of the Weasley line, only their first kid was a male. After Lancer Arthur St. Clair, the pair's daughters were the triplets Lily, Narcissa, and Luna, and finally their youngest Ginny, who had only been named after her aunt to redeem the name in Ron's mind. Whenever their kids got sick, Ron's mind always recalled the time Harry got sick as a Little and was eternally thankful for what he learned during it. He never accidentally gave his kids health potions but stuck with Muggle medicine and remedies. And while they could not communicate with their stuffed animals if the toys got dirty, Ron always bathed them and used a memory charm on them, just in case.

 

Much to Ron's chagrin, each of his kids was sorted into Slytherin when they went to Hogwarts, not that he loved them any less. He just ended up getting teased by Draco about it. Which was one of the reasons Ron talked to his bosses to give him family tickets to the Canons, making all but Draco a supporter of the team. Granted, when Ginny was old enough and joined the Canons as a Chaser, Draco began to support it, but not as much as the rest of his immediate family.

 

Lancer, Narcissa, and Ginny all showed they kept the creature's blood in their lines as they became Alphas and Omegas. Meanwhile, Lily had become a Caregiver like her Godfather, Blaise, and Luna had become a Neutral like her Godfather, Neville.

 

Ginny Weasley

 

After being sent to Siberia to live with the older Hybrid, Ginny took a while to adjust to her new life. Not only due to the change in weather, but since she had drunk the potion to reveal what she would be classified as, she met daily with a Mind Healer due to one part of her hybrid side being a Little in the youngest range. It was only after coming of age and going through her classification that Ginny began to let herself get better. Since she was a Hybrid, she did not get a scroll leading her to a partner, and since part of her nature was a Little as well as a Neutral, she would not have been given one normally anyway.

 

While there was next to nothing about how a person might become a Hybrid, there were extensive records of what all the previous Hybrids had been. Ginny earned some recognition as the first ever Hybrid, which was part Little. This led to an interesting and thankfully helpful discovery, as due to her being a Hybrid, her Little Side did not form a permanent bond with any Caregiver. Especially since for the first couple of years of her Classification, her Caregiver had been the older Hybrid, but they soon died of old age. Yet, Ginny, who had somewhat bonded with them, had not, as a normal Little/Caregiver bond would have led to.

 

Due to Ginny's Little side being in the youngest range, and just like Harry, she spent most of her time as a Little, it was soon found that her Pet and Neutral sides allowed her to form a bond with almost any Caregiver. Thus, any Caregiver who had not yet found a partner could come take care of Ginny as they waited for news of others getting a Little Classification. Since Ginny did not fully bond with any of them, her one permanent companion was her stuffed dear, which was named Harry. Something that her parents, who got regular updates about her, kept from the rest of the family.

 

Sirius, Tonks, and Remus

 

Around the same time, Ron gave birth to Lancer Arthur St. Clair, Tonks gave birth to her first child, James Regulus Lupin. The group ended up having three more kids, Lily Andromeda, Rose Harriet, and Jonathan Blaise Lupin. Much to their shock, their youngest, Jonathan, turned out to be a Squib, not that they loved him any less, making sure he had a good life, even using their connections to help him get a teaching job at Sycamore Academy when he was older. When the others got into Hogwarts, James was Sorted into Hufflepuff, Rose was sent to Ravenclaw, and Lily was sent to Slytherin, making Sirius playact a hammy fainting in a fake-shocked scene for his mates. Due to Remus's werewolf side, the three Magical children became Alpha and Omegas.

 

Harry and Blaise

 

After leaving Hogwarts, Harry took the job as prank and toy tester for the Weasley twins. He spent most of his days just playing around, having fun with his Papa and the others. And he loved his trips with Uncle 'Dway' back to Hogwarts to see the castle again. Blaise, when he was not taking care of Harry, ended up managing the books for the twins' business. He sometimes had to put his foot down with some of the twins' plans until they could provide him with documentation to show it would not cost too much and would not damage anyone. or anything.

 

While Harry spent most of his time in Little Space, he made sure to have at least one day a month as Big so he and Blaise could go out on dates. Five years after graduating from Hogwarts, Harry and Blaise got married, using elaborate protections to make sure Harry did not slip during the ceremony due to how happy he was. It was three years after that when Harry arrived in the shared dining room, unable to look anyone in the eye, for Ron, Draco, Theo, and Hermione to find out that Harry had finally grown comfortable enough with Blaise for the pair to have sex. Thankfully, none of the Clans' kids were able to pick up on that fact, though they did wonder if Harry was getting sick when he blushed through the entire meal.

 

Since Harry was a Little, he was unable to get pregnant, and not wanting his lines to die out, he declared that James Regulus Lupin, Lancer Arthur St. Clair, as well as Hermione and Theo's twins, Howard and Celstra, his heirs. Blaise, meanwhile, to spread it around, made his Goddaughter Pandora Alice Longbottom-Lovegood his family's heir after checking with his mother.
