Chapter 10: Harry's Secrets Admitted, Draco's Fears, The Fight

After Harry had done the powerful multi-cast sonic burst outdoors for the Weasley's entertainment, they were on the porch when the wizifone rang.

"I just know that's Albus," Ron said looking to Draco. Harry snickered silently.

"Oops," Harry said as they all entered the house.

"Hello, this is Arthur Weasley," Arthur said.

"Harry, what did you do to the wards?" Albus asked. The company all laughed

"I'm sorry," Harry said. "I was showing Ginny's guests the multi-cast."

"You did full strength sonic blasts," Albus said. "You know better than to not alert me first. You knocked out four wards on Hogwarts."

"I said I was sorry," Harry said. "I'll come put them back." Albus was mumbling in the background of the wizifone about casting full strength spells. Harry grinned in embarrassment. "Albus, please. I'm sorry, I'll come fix them now if you want."

"No, you have your dinner but come here directly after and fix these wards," Albus complained. "And...I may need you to do something while you're here."

"Draco and I will be there after dinner," Harry said. "And what is you want me to do while I'm there?"

"Snakes," Albus said. Harry nodded.

"How many?" Harry asked.

"Four," Albus said. "This is the worst year for snakes I've ever seen."

"Ginny and I thought my second year was a bad year for snakes. Basilisks, you know," Harry laughed.

"That's not funny," Albus said. "Just come after dinner."

"I'll be there," Harry said.

"I love you," Albus said.

"I love you, too. Goodbye," Harry said. Albus hung up and Arthur did also. "I just knew I took down a ward at Hogwarts. I just knew it. Damn."

"Even when we leave the house he calls," Draco laughed. "That man has you tracked."

"He does," Harry said honestly. "He's honed in on my signature always. As I am on his. It's a protection thing for both of us. I keep several people on my signature watch at all times."

"Like who?" Taylor asked.

"Albus, Draco, Hermione, Ron and the Minister of Magic," Harry said. "I know where they are at all times. Every minute. I'm just a nosey bastard."

"Hold on a minute," Draco said. Harry turned to him. "How long have you had my signature on your list?"

"A while," Harry said. Draco gave him the look.

"How long?" Draco asked. Harry swallowed nervously.

"A while," Harry said. "Just...a while."

"Harry, how long?" Draco asked in all seriousness.

"Can we talk about this later?" Harry asked.
