The feel at the breakfast table next morning, was omnious. Harry and Draco had yet to show, but the people that were there were:
Alastor Moody.
Remus Lupin.
Hermione Granger.
Ron Weasley.
Arthur Weasley.
Molly Weasley.
Ginny Wealsey.
Fred and George Weasley.
Nymphadora Tonks.
Kingsley Shacklebolt.

The ones who had been there the night before, filled in the two who had missed out on that lovely experience. "It is a well kept secret that Harry has the darkmark." Hermione said and took a bite of her eggs. "Everyone knows not to utter the words, especially not to the deatheaters, and since Harry created quite a good relationship with every Slytherin at Hogwarts, and treated the kids as if they were his own in all houses, people respect him." Ron said and sighed deeply, taking a bite of his bacon with a hum. The door opened, and in came Harry and Draco, both of them looking amazing as always. "You look horrible." Harry said with a grin and stirred up Ginny's hair, which made the girl groan and push his hand away, but the smile in her eyes was very telling, she was happy that Harry was safe.

Said omnious feeling, still lingered in the air, especially since Tonks, Kingsley and Moody all eyed the two 'deatheaters' at their table. "Just a reminder." Harry said and met their eyes, seating himself on top of Draco as the blonde had done to him back in their room to keep him from pouncing on Pansy and Blaise. "My house... My rules." He said and his eyes darkened. Everyone felt a shiver go through them. "I let in who the fuck I want. I kick out, who I want. I will make sure that no one from the group that I let in here, ever say anything to anyone outside of these walls. If you do. I am not above Legilimensy and Obliviation." He said and everyone's eyes widened. "No judging is to be done under this roof. No accusing anyone of delivering messages to Voldemort, just because there are two with darkmarks." He said and eyed the two new as well as Alastor.

"Gred, Forge. I need you two to continue with your shop... And if possible, make sure that Ollivander knows of mine and Draco's arrival later today." Harry said and the twins nodded before Apparating out of there. "In exactly 1 week and 4 days. I will be having a celebration here. Draco is turning legal age, and just because theres a war, doesn't mean that we don't gotta celebrate him. I am bringing over some people in that time and you will treat them with respect. Now. Molly, Arthur, the Burrow is secured, you can safely head home. If you suspect anything, just come here and stay." He said and the two looked at him with wide eyes.

"When did the Burrow get secured..?!" Arthur asked and Harry smiled a warm smile. "Last night after I left, I sent an Owl to McGonagall, asking her to let Neville, Luna, Pansy and Blaise out to the Burrow to secure it."

Arthur squirmed in his seat a bit and cleared his throat. "But... This Pansy girl and Blaise boy... Are they to be trusted?" He asked and Harry eyed him darkly, before sighing and looking away. "Of course they are. Not merely because I say so... But because I would sacrifice my life for them. Also..." He said and looked at the man again. "Funny that you didn't ask that about Neville and Luna."

He then rose and went to the kitchen itself, stirring up some food for him and Draco. Draco remained seated and saw how tense everything was, deciding to do something about it, he cleared his throat, which worked, and he felt the stares on him.

"Harry is still Harry." He said and Alastor scoffed. "I'm serious. He has the Dark Mark, and he has red eyes with snake slits... But he is and always will be, the same Harry Potter that you all know, grew up with and raised..." He said and eyed Molly and Arthur, longer than the others. "Harry's full name is-" "Yes, we know his full name." Tonks snapped and sighed. "What we need to know, is why did the dark mark suddenly show up on his arm?!" She exclaimed and Draco sent her a glare, his eyes flashing black and grey. "Harry's full name, is Harry James Potter McGonagall Riddle Snape Merlin Black." Draco finished his sentence and all eyes turned to him.

"Somehow, his DNA mixed with James Potter, Lily Evans, Minerva McGonagall, Severus Snape, Tom Riddle and Merlin himself. Sirius Black was Harry's godfather, and in the documents at Gringotts, it states that if Harry is in danger or wants, he has the name Black, and all Black owned estates and fonds, are directed to him." Draco explained, to which Alastor hummed. "It seems... That I may know what caused the mystery of the dark mark." He said and now all eyes were on him.

Harry came back in and Alastor began to explain as the boy sat. "'Arry is the child of all these people, how... Well, we need to figure that out. But none the less he is. And Tom Riddle, AKA Lord Voldemort himself, is a part of that group. Meaning the dark lord and Harry share more than just that scar as their bond... They share blood and DNA." He said and stood with a groan, leaning up against the wall, stretching out his limbs. "Harry I need you to show us your mark." Alastor said, Harry compliged and rolled his sleeve up.

"Voldemort created that mark, by channeling everything evil into a symbol that represented him... If Harry shares DNA with him, as well as blood. It is very possible that contact with the symbol was enough to activate it and form on his arm, causing said pain." Draco furrowed his brows and looked at the darkmark on Harry's arm.

"But... Me and Harry were close before the whole ordeal of him getting the mark? Where I already had mine." Draco said and Alastor sighed. "Yes yes, young Malfoy. But the matter of the fact is, your mark needs to touch Harry's skin. You said he kissed the mark?" Draco's face fell and his eyes widened. "So I did do this to him..?" Harry's eyes widened and he looked at Draco in shock. "Dray. Don't you dare say that." He said and Draco looked at him. "But I did... I caused you to get branded with the mark of pure evil for the rest of your life... I did that to you..." He said and tears began to well up in his eyes, shocking many around the table, while Hermione, Ron, Ginny and Harry all tried to assure him that he could not have known, and that he wasn't at fault.

But Draco was stuck in a spiral. "Malfoy. Snap out of it, will ya." Alastor said rather gruffly. Harry snapped. "What the hell, Moody!? He's having a Panic attack and you ask him to snap out of it!? What about when you were stuck in the box?! WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T YOU PROTECT YOURSELF BETTER AND JUST SNAP OUT OF IT?!" He yelled and left everyone stunned. Harry turned back to Draco, his eyes softened and his left eye turned back to its normal green for the first time since they got to the Black estate. "Kreacher!" Harry yelled out and the house elf showed up, wearing something other than the dirty rag, which made Harry smile a little.

"I need you to prep a cup of Tea, please. You know what to do." He said and Kreacher hurriedly did so. When it was done, it was handed to Harry who quickly gave it to Draco, now standing before the male. "Draco, love, drink this." He said and Draco shakingly took the cup, drinking its contant. "There we go... It'll help you calm down..." Harry said soothingly and just ran his hands through Draco's hair.

He then looked at the people in the room and sighed. "If you're done eating, we will continue this conversation in the living room." He said and everyone left, except for Ginny who Harry sent a raised brow. "Figured you'd need some help getting him to the living room." She said and Harry smiled and nodded.

"Thanks Gin."
"No problem Harry..."
