AN: Hello lads and lasses I know I have kept you all waiting so as always, I will be honest with you. Writing this chapter was rather difficult, not because of lack of motivation but mostly due trying to find a way to make it entertaining both for me to write and hopefully for you to read as the first Harry Potter book is rather difficult to incorporate into a fic. It only has a few highlights, the Sorting, Troll at Halloween, the jinxing of the broom, the discovery of Fluffy and the confrontation of Quirrelmort. If I am missing anything, please remind me as it has been years since I read the books or seen the movies and I doing this fic mostly from memory.

Now I have something important to ask. Should I speed up and just hit the highlights with the next few chapters or should I continue with expanding the character interactions and the lessons according to Pottermore? Honestly, I am fine with doing either however I want to make this fic enjoyable to read for you.

In other news I finally got my first part time job working on a farm milking cows, and I am officially discharged from therapy as of yesterday. Here's hoping that I can find a full-time job soon.

Anyway that is all for my at the moment all things go as plan the next chapter should be written and uploaded sometime in the next few weeks

Hope you all enjoy reading the chapter and have a very nice day

Chapter 12: Support

It took a little while longer for Harry to fall asleep, time that was spent talking with his father about random nonsensical things from funny stories to some random moments that had happened in the past that Justin thought Harry might find funny or interesting. The moon was already starting its decent in the sky by the time that the young devil finally dropped off to sleep, leaving Justin curled in beside him on his pillow, his autumn red tail resting around Harry's neck.

However, despite appearances, Justin was not asleep, he was in fact communicating telepathically with the other members of his family. "So, it seems that Harry still has some issues and insecurities about his place in our family and I thought that we had showed him beyond any doubt that he belongs with us, that we love him." Justin sighs mentally feeling a little bit hopeless and that feeling carried over the link to his family as well.

Unfortunately for him, his wife had something to say. "Justin love, I love you and all but sometimes dear you can be a bit of an idiot." "Only sometimes?" Yami jokingly points out. "Yami butt out of the conversation unless you have something useful or helpful to say otherwise, I swear to Nyx I will be withholding sex from you for a year. "Shutting up now!" Justin can practically feel his wife's smugness over the link, "Good boy. Now as for you dear husband, you seem to be under the impression that it is unusual for Harry to feel insecure about his place in the family with a new baby on the way, granted it isn't ours but that won't stop us treating he or she as if they were. But in any case, you would be dead wrong. Harry is just like any other 11-year-old child that has been told that a new addition to the family is on the way, whether they are adopted, fostered or not it doesn't matter."

"Children are not as mature as an adult, they don't think or react the way that we do, that is a fact. To us we already know that we won't love or treat Harry any differently than we already do but to Harry that fact probably has not even occurred to him. All he knows is that a new baby is on the way and from what he has experienced in the past from those beasts it means to him that there is a chance however small it is that we might treat him the same as them."

Justin's eyes widen and a deep sense of fear and revulsion rises within his gut, he could and would never treat Harry or any child that way ever! Without his input his heightened emotions get the better of his control and his powers and magic spike uncontrollably. The temperature in the dorm-room rises and falls sharply, the shadows along the walls twist and turn violently and the shear malevolent, oppressive feeling in the room makes the boys shiver in instinctive fear. Whatever dreams they had been having previously have quickly turned into their worst, dreaded nightmares.

"Justin calm down now!" The mental shout over the link is enough to shock him out of his temporary loss of control, he reins in his out of control powers and the room quickly goes back to normal with thankfully no sign of any damage done that could point to any kind of event happening at all. Surveying the room Justin notices its occupants twisting and turning in their beds obviously suffering from a seriously bad nightmare. Feeling guilty at having been the cause of the nightmares, Justin reaches out to their dreams and slowly removes his magics influence from them and instead infuses their dreams with feelings of comfort and safety, slowly turning them from nightmares to pleasant dreams that will wipe away the fear that they felt and instead leaving them feeling well rested come the morning.

"I'm sorry love but you know I would never treat Harry like that, and neither would you." Scarlet sighs in relief at feeling her husband calm down, "I know honey but to Harry that possibility, that doubt no matter how deep it is buried is still there, the only thing we can do is continue to love and support him as best we can. No matter how powerful or mature Harry seems to be he is still 11 years old, that is part of the reason we sent him to that school so that we could connect with other kids his age without the expectations and weight of the family name on him. He can just be himself, just a child in a school filled with other children his age. He can make friends, form lasting bonds and continue to grow into adulthood like any other child his age. It is something that we cannot give him nor could the Rating Game School."

Justin smiles just a little, "As always love you are right, sometimes I forget how insightful you can be at times, then you go and blow my mind." Scarlet grins, "Hehe darn right I am now get your tight little ass to bed mister, Harry will need you by his side tomorrow." Justin grins foxily, "You love this tight butt little miss, but point made goodnight dear."

The Next Morning

Waking up early in the morning as usual due to the sun shining on his face, Harry wakes up groggily and half-asleep shuffles into the bathroom to start his morning routine, leaving Justin curled up on the bed his head buried into his fluffy tail. After finishing getting ready, Harry walks out of the bathroom, robes on and ready to start the day only to be surprised by a very awake autumn fox sitting up on his bed with his timetable in its mouth.

Harry raises an eyebrow at his dad, "You better not have gotten drool over that or I swear I am taking you to the vet and getting you neutered". The fox yips and drops the timetable on the bed, "Well now somebody is sure in a mood today, how did you sleep?" Harry goes over and picks up the timetable from where it lay, examining it to see the schedule for the day, petting his father on the head unconsciously. "Hmm Transfiguration after breakfast followed by more flying lessons and Charms, a break for lunch and then the final lesson of the day is DADA, and I slept alright I guess wish I could have gotten more sleep if I'm honest."

The fox yips and tugs at his robe, "I'm coming along with you today, if I have to spend another boring day just laying around up here, I'll go stir crazy." Harry looks at Justin and seeing the rather unnerving glint in the fox's eyes decides not to argue with him, knowing from past experience that a bored Justin is a rather dangerous Justin, not for your health or life but for your sanity and pride. The legend of the prank war between the 4 Satan's and Justin with Naruto joining in halfway through is still whispered about at public events.

"Alright let's go to breakfast and please I'm begging you don't do anything to embarrass me Dad, please?" The fox just grins at him, neither confirming nor denying what it intended to do. Harry groans out loud and prepares himself for the worst.

As it had started to become routine, Harry was among the first to be down in the Great Hall for breakfast and as was his usual routine, he sat at the very end of the Slytherin table closest to the doors of the Great Hall and sat down. As soon as he had sat down, breakfast magically appeared in front of him, a full Ulster Fry consisting of two sausages, two strips of bacon, an egg, two pieces of soda bread and two slices of toast along with a full cup of steaming hot black coffee.

Harry's eyebrow twitches, 'Someday mysterious magic I will figure out your secrets, I swear but for now thank you for the food'. The fox however curled up in Harry's lap decided to take a small nap after all this basically was a small holiday away from the horrors of paperwork that the Satan's had to fill out on a daily basis, how in the name of the Underworld Serafall managed to not only hold the office of Foreign Affairs but also finds the time to run her own magical girl tv show along with the shear mountains of paperwork that each Satan was given each day boggles the mind.

It didn't take long for Harry's friends from Slytherin (mentally tagged as the blond sly one, the bubbly brunette and the silent shy one in Justin's mind) all three seemed to have gotten over their shock from Le Fay's little revelation to them although how they had managed to do that Justin could only make guesses at, the most realistic one being that they had either suppressed the knowledge or just decided to ignore it and continue on with their lives as normal.

Kind of smart considering they had a descendant of someone who their families and literally entire community seemed to consider to be an almost godlike figure. It would be pretty much the same kind of reaction is the Son of the Christian Deity (Hah take that Michael I found a way around that stupid systems bullshit rules) reincarnated or whatever he wanted to do. The average human would either ignore him or ask for proof, even then they probably would try to poke holes or find the trick rather than believing what was happening in front of their eyes.

It didn't take long for the rest of the students to start to fill up the Great Hall, the First Year Ravenclaw boys seemed to be in an especially good mood judging from the smiles on their faces. As Harry was discussing the lesson plan for today with his friends at the table they were interrupted by the most surprising way. "Mind if we join you?" Daphne and the other Slytherins eyes widened in surprise.

Standing there behind Harry was none other than Hermione and Sue Li both looking out of place and more than a little nervous. Once the surprise had quickly settled down Daphne responds to them in her typical ice-cold tone. "That depends on what your aims are for wanting to be here, last time I checked you and Miss Li had made a point of distancing yourself from Heir Potter or has that changed?" Harry takes a sip of his coffee and holds a hand up to halt Daphne from saying anymore.

"Indeed it has Heiress Greengrass, it took a little while but Miss LI, Miss Granger and myself had mended the small rift that was between us, although I am as surprised as Heiress Greengrass that you two are seeking a place at the Slytherin table, let alone awake at this time in the morning."

Hermione and Sue Li are unnerved at seeing as well as hearing Harry's startling change in mannerisms and tone but Hermione ever the bolder of the two girls plucks up her courage, "It's simple really we just want to sit with our friend for breakfast as well as maybe getting to know his acquaintances in the other Houses." Harry chuckles slightly, "Then as long as my friends here don't mind you are free to join us." Harry looks over at his Slytherin friends and they all share a neutral nod barring Tracy who smiles slightly.

The two Ravenclaws sit down beside Harry and silence envelops the table as they all sit there eating their meals while the rest of the hall continues to fill up with students and the noise level increases. Harry sharing a hatred with all of his family of awkward silences breaks it rather suddenly, "Oh for, alright enough of this, Hermione Granger, Sue Li meet Heiress's Daphne Greengrass and Tracy Davis and over on their left sitting in a brooding silence is Heir Blaise Zambini ("Oi") Ladies and Gentlemen meet two of the more brilliant of the first year Ravenclaws Hermione Granger and Sue Li now can we please dispense with this awkward silence, it's driving me up the wall."

To say that the occupants of the table were a little bit shocked by Harry's out of character outburst would be understating things but like the Slytherins that they were Daphne, Tracy and Blaise all shake off the shock and respond with a chorus of "Nice to meet you", Pleasure to make your acquaintance", Good to meet you".

Hermione and Sue Li respond to them just as politely and with the ice broken among the group, they slowly start to chat amongst each other as breakfast started to begin in full now that most of the students had begun to make their way into the Great Hall. They were just discussing their schedules when someone wrapped their arms around Harry's neck, their large breasts pressing into the back of his neck, "Goooood morning Harrryyy." Lifting his head to look up, unintentionally pushing his head further into the soft pillows, to look at who had managed to sneak up on and hug him of all things to lock eyes with a flushed and very happy Rose.

Harry raises an eyebrow, "Good morning Rose, what has got you in such a good mood and how did you sneak up on me?" Rose giggles softly and pulls him further into her chest, it takes all of Harry's willpower to stop from blushing like a tomato which he knows would be an extremely bad idea as it would give his other friends even more ammunition for teasing than this little incident already has.

"Silly little Harry, you lot were so caught up in your little drama that you just couldn't hear me coming and as for my mood." Rose leans in grinning wildly, intentionally giving the people across from Harry a clear line of sight down her shirt, "That's a secret hehe."

Harry's face is at this point completely squashed into Rose's chest, much to the envy of a lot of the upper year boys, Harry at this point is completely unaware of this as he is struggling to pull out of the suffocating hug. Hermione seeing him franticly tapping on Rose's arms gives Rose a thump on her shoulder. "What do you think you are doing! You're suffocating him, let him go right now!"

Rose looks rather confused for a few moments before looking down and seeing Harry's face rapidly turning blue, she quickly lets him go, "Oops sorry Harry." Harry coughs and splutters trying to get his breath back and turns to glare at Rose. "Dammit woman what the hell has gotten into you and for the last time stop calling me little!"

Rose grins, wraps her arms round his neck to pull his head down and pinches his cheek, "Aww look at you, you're so cute like a little kitten hehe." Harry quickly breaks her hold on him and starts to argue with her completely forgetting that they were in the middle of the Great Hall and that his father had curled up in his lap.

Justin had been napping for a while in Harry's lap since he had come down with him for breakfast, while his son had been spending his days in class and making friends. Justin had spent his time exploring both the castle and the grounds as much as he could in fox form but even as a fox, he discovered numerous things from both his exploration and eavesdropping on both the students and the staff. The only people who knew that his fox form was essentially a disguise was Professor McGonagall and Harry which made it ideal for him to investigate.

So far what he had discovered was a bunch of schoolyard gossip about relationships and scandals as well as a few snippets of gossip from several pure bloods about Harry, his actions and how it might affect both their families and the political realm. Not a lot of valuable information but it could still prove useful to know especially for Harry, the more information that he could gather for his son to arm him with when he would inevitably dive into the realm of politics and intrigue within this new world.

Of course, with all the jostling and the shouting it startled Justin from his nap, making the disguised fox jump off Harry's lap with a rather shocked yip that grabbed the attention of Harry and his friends, but more importantly the girls. They all took one look at the sleepy looking fox on the floor and predictably they all had the same react.

"SOOO CUTE, HE'S ADORABLE!"

Suffice to say that Justin would forever have nightmares about being squeezed nearly to death by multiple young girls while Harry was laughing his ass off at the begging looks that his father had been shooting at him the whole time.

After they had all calmed down, Harry introduced Hermione and Sue to Rose who rather predictably started to tease Harry saying that it looked like he was starting to build his own little harem form the looks of things, he had the shy Asian, the smart bookworm, the icy blond, the bubbly brunette and the silent broody Italian. Naturally this made them all blush and squawk in embarrassment to the ever-teasing woman's utter delight.

Things quietened down for a while and the group started to grow more and more comfortable with each other, Hermione and Daphne surprisingly struck up a surprising friendship with each other, bonding over a shared love of gathering knowledge. In Daphne's case it was Potions and Charms specially, whereas Hermione was determined to mine as much knowledge on magic and the wizarding world as possible.

Tracy with her bubbly and warm personality managed to get Sue Li to start opening up slowly but surely to both her and the group something that everyone in the group could agree was a very good thing as the shy Asian girl was very insightful when she martialled up the courage to speak her mind.

Blaise and Rose got on like a house on fire with their shared love of teasing and blackmail much to the displeasure of the other members of group who much to their constant dread were the focus of much of the two misfits teasing.

Altogether the group came together rather nicely, they all learned to get along and although they didn't all mesh together, they could all agree that they were all starting to become to good friends with each other.

The days and lessons passed by quickly until finally it was Halloween.
