Little Red
Chapter 12

"Papa wake up wake up," Alice said jumping on the bed, "Papa come on I wanna say hi to Moony," the teen yawned and got up, on automatic he got dressed into his school uniform and cloak, Aurora and Yin Yang went back into his skin and Alice bounced in excitement, already dressed and ready to go with her tiara, she wore jean shorts and a black shirt with a umbreon on it, her sneakers were already on as well, the only thing that wasn't done was her hair, they left the lion's den, barely anyone away at the moment and went down to the Hall, Draco stopped them with his little group and tutted, "can't even last a day without me," he huffed straighten out his loved before waving his wand so his hair was brushed, glossy and in its long braid and quickly did it for Alice who was bouncing around saying hello to everyone, he managed to spell her hair into two side ponytails, "thanks father, papa wouldn't wake up," the raven grumbled and yawned, "everyone was on my butt about everything,"

"Poor wolf, do you want me to kiss it better?" that woke the raven up and he gave a feral grin looping his arm around the small waist pulling him in close, "only if I get to eat you afterwards," he chuckled at the small blush and kissed his partner before letting go feeling in a much better mood, "come on Alice let's say hi to Moony and Padfoot," she skipped a head with the raven behind her and Draco looked at the two stunned, "seems all he needed was a bit of you to wake him up," Pansy joked and he chuckled, "he's usually good in the morning, but I guess the change put him in a foul mood," he shrugged and they went to the Hall for breakfast easily spotting Harry and Alice leaning against the Head table chatting to the two professors, even Severus added in a few things or two as he ate his breakfast he felt someone sit on his lap and someone pressed against his side, "Alice, Harry, why aren't you sitting at the lion's table,"

"It's boring and everyone keeps staring at me, oh and the girls keep sighing at me, creepy, glad I didn't marry one," he said fixing himself a plate, Alice stealing bites off both theirs and feeding some to Nook and Rosie, "so Potter going to join the quitditch team?" Blaise asked and Theo joined in, "oh man if he joins we'll never have a chance,"

"Don't worry I'm not, it'd be consider extreme cheating if I did," Pansy looked interested, "oh why's that?"

"He can easily change air currents to whatever he likes," Draco said before sipping his juice giving it to Alice when she reached for it, "Really? That'd be so cool to see, if you were on our team that is, nothing's wrong with a bit of a boost," Blaise said with a chuckle, "yeah I know, but I don't feel like playing, I have much better things to do than get battered up,"

"Don't you mean people?" Pansy asked slyly, Draco immediately covered up Alice's ears and glared at the grinning woman, "Pansy, 6 year old daughter, don't want her knowing all about my sex life,"

"Aurora already talked to her about sex when she asked where did the eggs in the nest came from," Harry pointed out and Draco gave him a look which earned a chuckle and a kiss, "father please let go of my ears, the seashells are pressing against my head," he released her and made sure there were no cuts before going back to breakfast, "you know kid it would be much easier to have your own plate of food then stealing it off Draco's and Potter's,"

"Please just call me Harry, you're Draco's friends so it'd be nice that we weren't so formal," the group nodded and Alice stole a pancake fully enjoying it while Nook stole chunks, "it's fun to take it off their plates especially when it's a new place with new people, if Papa and father are eating it, then there plates are safe, they do checks before eating," Theo looked impressed, "you've got a Slytherin or Ravenclaw in the making,"

"As long as she doesn't turn into a Hufflepuff of Griffendor I'm fine with it," Harry shrugged making the group pause, "what?"

"You don't want your kid being in your house?"

"Nope, I'd appreciate her in a house with reliable snakes or logical ravens then soft badgers and lions that can turn on you at a moments notice,"

"Doesn't help that his favorite animals are ravens and snakes," Alice piped up Theo grinned, "really?" Harry pulled up his sleeve so they could see Aurora who nodded her head, "smart creatures and know how to hold a good conversation."

Breakfast was filled with small talk and Severus handed the Slytherin's their timetables and McGonagall handed Harry's his, next thing the Slytherin knew, Harry had a sad look as he looked at the professor, "I'm sorry professor, you didn't have to walk over and give it to me, I could of walked over, it's just that I've been in isolation for so long..." the old professor's heart melted as she looked at those sad green eyes and she petted his shoulder, "it's no problem Mr. Potter, I understand that my lions have been a bit over excited with you back and I'm happy the Slytherin's have gotten over the hostility and let you sit with them while they calm down. I expect you thou to do well in your classes," he gave her a small smile, "thank you professor, I will make you proud," she smiled at this before heading back to the head table, Pansy looked at him with a confused face, "what the hell was that?" the sadness was immediately wiped from his face and he gave a chuckle, "protection if you will, if the lions mess with me and I get angry I can blame it on the fact that I've been isolated and they keep bothering, she just witnessed how sad I am to be away from my house, she still thinks of me as a scared little boy," there was a calculating gleam in his eye and the woman was impressed, "good thinking, now let's compare timetables!" she said with a small giggle as the 5 spread out there timetables, Harry found out he had most of his classes with most of the group while CoMC he had with Blaise , "I can't believe you're taking art," Blaise chuckled at Harry who gave him a look, "he's actually quite good at it," Alice piped up eating a muffin, "he's made jewelry and combs using deer antlers," the bell signaled 10 minutes till class and they got up stuffing their time tables into their bags, Harry and Draco gave Alice a kiss on the cheek before she skipped off to the head table where Remus and Sirius was, first class of the day, Potions, joy.

Draco had finally finished his last class and with a groan went in look for his lover and probably Alice, "good afternoon Draco," he turned to look to see a smiling Sirius, "afternoon Sirius, have you seen that pesky godchild of yours?" the man thought for a second tapping his lip, "a hour ago he picked up Alice, I think they were talking about going for a run,"

"Thanks, I'll see you at dinner," the man nodded shooing off the teen who took off to go outside, as he walked through the halls, Hermione, Ron, Ginny and Neville stopped him, "can I help you?"

"Actually you can, do you know where Harry is?" Draco raised a eyebrow at the bushy haired witch and fiddled with his cuff, "and if I do know where he is? Why do you need him?"

"I wanted to talk to him about homework, he'll probably need some help with it," he sighed knowing it was a lie, "follow me, Sirius said he's running," the group of lions followed after him as he went outside to the warm sunshine, he sniffed the air trying to locate his mate, "what the blazes is he do- ow," Ron grumbled as Neville elbowed him in the ribs, Draco stopped, a small smiled spreading on his lips as he walked to a large expanse of green grass, "I don't see him at all!" Ron complained, "wait," Draco snapped, light barks were heard and he put down his bag and tugged of his heavy school cloak, the barks getting louder, a small white wolf pup sprinted to them a large black wolf chasing her, the pup ran behind Draco changing into Alice who was laughing, the black wolf tripped on something and rolled to a stop, "you really aren't graceful,"

"shuddup," Harry pouted as he changed back, "rocks are out to get me," Alice laughed and Harry got up brushing himself, "so what were you two playing,"

"tag" Alice said with a grin and Harry pulled Draco close to him giving him a kiss, "and your now it," both laughed and ran off and Draco looked shocked, "is he always like this?" Ginny asked her eyes wide, Draco shrugged and chased after them pouncing on Harry, the game ended and Harry looked up from his bangs at the four Gryffindor's, "so what can I do for you today?" he asked with a puff stretching out on the grass, "How were your classes?" Ginny asked sitting on the ground, "fine...why do you ask?" eyeing them wearily, "we were just wondering how you were, you seemed pretty distant today," Hermione said quietly sitting next to Ginny, the boys following, Harry sighed and Draco ran his thin fingers through the loose black strands, "you have to understand you guys, I have been in a quiet, calm, and very peaceful environment for more then 6 years basically, if I ever got frustrated I could duel Remus, Sirius, or even Haku if I needed a challenge or I could portkey to the mountains and just run, I was constantly near the two people who could calm me down and now I'm in a place where I'm constantly sitting surrounded by noisy people who are trying to poke their nose in everything, it's agitating," the blonde gave the raven a withering look and kissed his forehead, "it doesn't help that the air around here is polluted with so much magic and anger, it's suffocating for us, especially for Alice," Draco said quietly and they felt a burst of gentle wind cleaning the pollution, Hermione took a deep breath, she felt lighter all of a sudden, "what was that?" Alice looked up, she was exhausted so her hair and eyes turned back to blank white, "papa cleaned the air," Ron blinked, "well if he can do that why doesn't he do that all the time?"

"It takes too much power to clean such a heavy place, where we live there are purity stones surrounding the house, we also have a phoenix who cleans the air and it helps we live surrounded by muggles," Harry replied rubbing his eyes, Alice let out a chirp like noise from the back of her throat, Draco replied with his own while Harry let out a rumble before sitting up with a stretch, Alice sat up to, Hermione noticed how wiped out she looked and frowned at this, "my little Red," Harry mumbled kissing her forehead before taking a deep breath and getting up picking her up as well, "she's tired from playing, so I'm going to let her nap, I'll see you guys later 'kay?" they watched as the three walked away wondering what exactly happened to their best friend over the time they hadn't seen him.

Everything was going fine till Halloween, Harry Draco and Alice had fallen into a routine of waking up early to meet each other before going to breakfast usually sitting at separate tables, they would then go to classes, Alice staying with Sirius and Remus where Harry would pick her up and spend some time with her running or much to the students entertainment they would play dress up, it had happen a few times where they would walk through the halls in elegant dresses talking about fairy tales, a few times Luna joining them, she had become a good friend to Alice since both had Seer blood, people still thou talked about them and constantly bothered them, slowly the three became weary of it all.

Halloween was when it all went down, Harry and Draco had just arrived to the great hall for lunch and waited for Alice and the raven's godfathers the air full of excitement about the fact that it was Halloween, they were also in a pretty good mood, but that all disappeared when everyone in the whole hall heard the high pitch scream of a little girl, there was a second of silence before the sound went again, Harry and Draco both jumped out of their spots, a few students screamed as a large 5ft basilisk came out of the raven's shirt before turning into a large wolf barreling down the hallway a white fox following quickly behind, they followed the scent of vanilla and Draco froze at what they saw, two large older girls hovering above Alice wands in their hands, blood covered Alice's face and her pale blonde hair that started tinting green as she let small little screams that sounded like a dying bird, Harry saw red and growled low, the two girls froze as they saw them, but didn't get a chance to attack a pulse of magic hit them causing them to go stiff, a wandless, wordless body binding spell, Harry growled at them before rushing to his little girl, changing back human he cut a small cut on his finger with his nail putting it up to her lips, "Alice, drink," he commanded sighing in relief as she did as she was told, her hair going from sickly green to a deep bloodied red, the idiots had used a powerful stunner on her making her hit her head that quickly healed with the help of her papa's blood, the cut soon closed over and she whimpered, "suffocating papa," he growled and changed back into a wolf licking off some of the blood, Aurora wrapped herself around the small girl hissing quietly to calm her down, Harry let out a small growl and she nodded getting on his back whimpering slightly, Draco gave him a look still in his fox form and Harry nodded, they needed a break from wizards, grabbing both girls from the edges of their robes, they dangled helplessly from his teeth and they went back to the Great Hall where everyone was still frozen at what had happened, they jumped again as came back, Hermione and Ginny flinching at the pure rage glowing eyes, Draco's was also molten silver in rage at what had happened, Harry walked straight up to the head table dropping the two bodies from his mouth letting out a growl to the head master, McGonagall gasped, "Mr. Potter don't tell me you ki..." the black wolf letting out a bark and a growl before huffing, "I believe Mr. Potter is telling us that he didn't kill the dunderheads thou they deserve it," he nodded once grabbing Alice gently with his teeth making sure not to get Aurora and gently put her down, students gasped as the girl's once nice clean jeans and top where now covered in blood she let out a wheezing cough, "papa," she whispered and he let out a whine kneeling down to let her back on, Draco also letting a low whine rushing over to her side to help her back up and giving her a small lick, the teachers paled, "Mr. Potter we must take her to see Poppy," Harry growled and glared at the Headmaster, "Mr. Potter we need to find out what is wrong with her," he demanded grabbing his wand out of his robes and Severus paled slightly, "Headmaster I don't think that's a good idea," the old man only spared a glance at him before throwing a body bind to the growling wolf which was deflected as large raven wings shielded him, the man blinked as the wings flapped in agitation, letting out several angry barks he ran out of the hall Draco following quickly, "I told you that wasn't a good idea Albus, his creature has now recognized you as a threat, I'm shocked your even alive," he mumbled sipping his tea, Minerva frowned at him and noticed a nervous looking Hermione come up to them, "what in the world was that about?" she asked in a harsh tone and the headmaster sighed, "this will be discussed in my office, Severus, Minerva, take the girls with you, Ms. Granger follow me also," the four left levitating the still body bound girls to the man's office.

"Will someone explain to me why Harry rushed out? He would never do that especially when his Alice is looking like that!" the bushy haired witch stated and the old man sighed falling into his chair, Minerva conjuring herself her own chair while Severus and Hermione stood, "Dumbledore pulled out his wand and tried to cast a body bind on Mr. Potter," Minerva stated in a slightly grave voice, Hermione huffed, "well that was stupid, of course Harry wouldn't of stayed if you did that, he's been getting more and more agitated as the year has gone on, this afternoon most likely managed to make him snap," she stated and waved her wand at the two body bound teens, "what did you do to Alice?" the two girls squeaked as they saw the fury in her eyes, "she was singing and it got on our nerves, we asked her to stop but she refused and we got so mad," McGonagall looked aghast at the two girls, both from Griffindor, "you punished a little 6 year old girl?! What spells did you use?"

"Just a stunner thou I think it may have been a bit too powerful since we made her flung over to the wall, it was grating on out nerves professor! She's constantly singing or humming," Severus and the headmaster frowned, "well why did she look like she was dying, she couldn't of been dying from blood loss," Hermione remembered the few conversations she had had with Harry and Alice and snapped her fingers, "Harry would of immediately healed her wounds using his blood since it has the property of healing because of his inheritance, and I think I know the reason why Alice looks like she's dying," she paused as she looked around the room at the professors, "Alice and Harry have told me countless times how they had a phoenix which taught Alice songs including a purification song, that was probably what she was singing, she does so constantly," Dumbledore frowned, "what does that have to do with anything?"

"Sir all three of them are more aware of auras, scents, magic, everything, the first few days Alice was complaining about the magic here being too heavy and it felt like she was suffocating, my guesses are she was singing it because being here for so long was making the feeling worse making her actually sick and suffocating," eyes widened at this and Minerva gulped, "where do you think they went?"

"The forest," Severus replied making heads whip over to him, "the only place filled with more natural magic would be the forest at the moment or they may have gone to their hide out again, in a wolf's position almost hurting him as well as students of this school hurting his pup he would of torn the people apart before running to hide his pup and lover making sure they wouldn't get hurt again," the potion master stated all of them looked down in thought, what would happen if Harry disappeared again, but this time refused to come back?

The rest of classes were cancelled and teachers were gathered and told that no one should be allowed outside at the moment and if they saw Harry, Draco, or Alice not to touch them or even think of pulling out their wands, they didn't hear anything from the teen for a week, it had gone from a clear day to a powerful electrical storm by that evening everyone could feel that it wasn't a natural one since the lightning was too close to the castle, McGonagall looked out the window at the dark skies and saw small figures walk out of the forest, her heart stopped as she thought they were Death Eaters, but noticed they were only 3, one being tinier then the rest, she rushed to Dumbledore's office, "what is it Minerva?" he asked with a sigh, "the three are back from the forest," that was all that needed to be said and both rushed to the front entrance where Harry, Draco, and Alice were just walking through, the deputy headmistress sighed in relief, "professors, I'm sorry that we left for so long, we didn't realize how bad our conditions were, I apologize if we caused anyone worry," he gave a glance to Minerva as she looked them over, Harry looked as powerful and dominating as he did when he had first came, she had noticed how it was slowly being sapped from him, but now both teens looked healthy as ever, little Alice thou was looking around wearily, she looked better then when she left, but now she was guarded more aware of her surrounding, it hurt the professors heart to not see her so sweet and open as she was, "it is alright Harry my boy, are you feeling better? Where did you stay?" she saw the twitch of irritation as he called him 'boy' he took a deep breath and gently let it out, "the centaurs let us stay at their camp for the days we were gone, my pack feel much better thou I have to ask for a few things so this won't get as out of hand as it did," the headmistress nodded, she could already see that the headmaster was going to refuse the notion, but she didn't want to see any of this happen again, "what do you need Mr. Potter,"

"We need our own rooms, a reason this got out of hand is because our bond was being strained causing the dominate, me, much stress because most of the time I wasn't there to keep my mate safe. Also Alice gets to bring one of her pets, I will take back her raccoon back to our home, but I'm bringing another back, her rose quart dragon is still too young to protect her against most attackers," McGonagall nodded, "what do you suggest?"

"I was going to suggest the hydra or Cerberus we had, but they snap easy and the hydra is far too big, I was also going to suggest the water dragon and sea nymph we have at home, but they'd die from all this suffocating magic," he lay his palm flat and Aurora's head slipped through his sleeve looking around wearily, "one of her children, they are at home and will be perfect so none of this happens again, Alice informed me that she was alone because my godfathers were a bit too busy, I want her to be able to walk the halls of the supposable safest school in Britain without worry that she'll get ambushed," the headmaster stepped in, "Harry you can't expect me to let a basilisk into our school," he raised a eyebrow,

"and why not? You let a 60ft one roam the halls 50 years ago as well as in my 2nd year, these aren't common ones if you haven't noticed, they petrify when their masters are in danger and a single bite will kill you in less than a minute, I think the perfect protection for someone as valuable as Alice," he looked over to Draco who nodded looking as poised as a pureblood should be, Alice right next to him holding his robe her hair as black as his while her eyes were silver, "I understand your worry for Alice Harry, but it's dangerous to the other students,"

"How? Harry has been carrying one around since he got here?" Draco said earning a growl from the raven, "Draco I'm handling this," he nodded and sealed his lips, "Dumbledore if I can't give her a small shadow basilisk I'll be forced to give her the Cerberus, actually I like that idea better, you've trained him haven't you Alice?"

"Of course papa," she answered her eyes resting on her strong father-figure, he was her pillar of strength and did whatever he could to protect her, "Dumbledore if you don't agree to these terms we'll go back home, we've already been home schooled and we can easily do it again for our last year," the old man sighed, "ok, I assume the Cerberus is smaller than the one in your first year?"

"He's as big as a large dog, his growth has now slowed and he won't get too big by the time this war is over which will be..."

"Very soon," Alice replied and they looked at the two in shock, "you know when the war will end?"

"Yes," Alice stated simply to McGonagall, "which side will win?" Dumbledore asked hopeful that it would be the light side, she looked at him eyes bleeding into red, "neither," she stated,

"Alice that is enough, you know not to give too much of the future," she nodded, "of course father, may I call Haku to tell him I need Hades?" he nodded and they watched as she pulled out her shell mirror opening it a bubbly voice floating out, "Alice, we have missed you, has the air gotten better?"

"Thanks to you yes Haku, I need you to do me a favor," there was a light laugh, "you never have to ask for a favor Alice, we are friends we will do as you wish to keep you safe," McGonagall watched as a small smile lit her face, who was this voice? "I need you to get Serenity to send over Hades Shade, she will have to bring back Nook to the house,"

"Of course, Chihiro is already swimming up from our nest to tell Narcissa, how is master Harry, did he drink all of the potion?"

"Yes, he's glaring at you for giving it to him, but he and Draco feel so much better thank you Haku, I would suggest you visit with Chihiro, but the air is too polluted,"
"we understand don't worry, I know Hades will protect you thou we can't, I must go it seems a shark has come into our lake and you know how much I love shark, Serenity should be there momentarily,"

"Of course Haku, happy eating," the connection was turned off and the little girl put the mirror in her pocket, "who was that Harry?" Dumbledore asked and the raven raised a eyebrow, "the water dragon, he's rather fond of Alice and gave her a present, he also helped me this week since I was losing control," there was a flash of fire and Serenity appeared trilling happily as she saw the three, Hades sniffed around, no one noticing that the collar he wore looked like a snake, "Serenity," Alice laughed letting the phoenix trill on her shoulder rubbing her face against the smooth cheek, the little girl let out a little trill from the back of her throat before Harry hissed gently taking Serenity from her shoulder, "I'm sorry lovely, but now is not the time to teach her a new song, you can do so later I promise, go take Nook home and look after the house please?" the phoenix let out a mournful trill nuzzling his face and going to Draco to nuzzle him before disappearing, Hades immediately sat by Alice's side rigid and alert, "there are a set of room Mr. Potter next to professor Lupin's and Black's room, I will show you to them so Dumbledore can get on with his work," Harry bowed his head before lifting it up, "of course professor, Headmaster, good day," the small group followed the Scottish woman leaving the headmaster behind.

The students were shocked the next day as they spotted Draco, Harry and Alice sitting at Slytherin table, Pansy and Blaise had to give a little smile as they watched Harry silently cast detection charms on their food and drink before they ate, "it's good to see you back," Pansy stated filling her plate with food and the other two nodded, "we would of been back earlier but other things were needed to be done," Blaise raised a eyebrow and Draco covered Alice's ears, "no sex for more or less 2 months, no good for us," Pansy snorted and both teens let out chuckles as Draco uncovered her ears, "so what's up with the very intimidating looking Cerberus?" Theo asked pointing to the sharp looking Cerberus that lay next to Alice, "that is Alice's guard dog, she wanted more protection,"

"So you bought her a Cerberus? Man can I start dating you? I would really like a nudu," Draco chuckled at the dark skinned Italian's statement, "as much as I would love to see if you taste as delicious as you look, I'd rather not have Draco skin me alive and also your dating Pansy," he purred giving both teen a half lidded look and both groaned, Pansy hitting the Dark skinned teen's arm who then chuckled giving her a kiss, it wasn't his fault Harry could seriously be sexy some times, "we could always add a few more to the coven, they has been my best friends since I was little, don't worry Pansy, Theo, Blaise we would let you live in our house if you wanted, but I think two in a relationship is enough," Alice looked up from the pancake she took of Draco's plate and nibbled at it thoughtfully, "three dad's would be interesting, but I think two is fine," she hummed looking at Blaise dead in the eye, her skin turning into a light creamy brown while her hair was still short and black and eyes still silver, but it soon reverted back to the regular long blonde, pale skin, and emerald eyes "are we really casually discussing this while eating breakfast?" Harry asked with a raised eyebrow and Theo perked up, "you'd let us live with you? It'd be nice to get away from my father," the teen mumbled and Harry sipped his tea handing one to Alice after checking it, "death eaters wont survive by New Years and considering Remus will be moving out with Sirius to their little cottage on the mountain we'll have a extra room or we could move," Alice made a whining noise at the thought of moving, "I only kid little Red I wouldn't dare move away from there," he kissed her head before looking at Theo, "we have a library which covers the whole second floor, I can ask the elves to make a room up there just for you, Pansy can join us if she wants," both teens nodded and he gave them a small smile and Draco grinned, "will we be going home for Christmas?" the looked down at Alice and she nodded, "we'll have to be back by New Years the lumberjack is sharpening his axe and will be sending out his hunters and sniffer dogs," the three Slytherin's looked confused for a second before understanding paling slightly. "It'll be fine," Harry waved them off and Blaise let out a chuckle, "what would my mother think if she hears that I'm dating Lord to two houses as well as the heir to another, oh well," he shrugged and Draco smirked, "don't get any ideas Zabini, he's mine, now shall we go to classes?" they nodded and got up, "Hades, Shade, guard her," the Cerberus nodded and a small hiss was heard, the large dog was right by her side as they walked to Sirius and Remus who they had visited last night to tell them they were fine, Harry couldn't actually wait till holidays, it was going to be a big one this year.

I was so tempted to actually make it a threeway relationship with Blaise, but I suck at making them, especially when it comes to a sex scene, so no threeways for you guys.
