Harry sat with a feeling of hatred, in his heart, at the breakfast table, everyone noticing his black eyes and calm, but very cearly tensed up, body. All of them tried to steer clear of him and settle down on the other side of the table. Molly then sighed and turned to the boy, Hermione and Ron desperately trying to stop her.

Harry was sitting, with his eyes now closed and his hands folded up before his mouth, but the markings that covered half of his face, were all moving and giving off a dark glow. "Harry." She said and the boy slowly opened his eyes, looking at the woman through hooded eyelids. "We get that you're upset that Draco is not with you, and I understand that it is even more difficult with the bonded mating and stuff. But we need you focused on the case at hand." She said and Harry straightened his back some more, raising his brow ever so slowly.

"Someone just used and unforgivable, on my mate. Molly Weasley. I will take that however I please... Do not rush me, in my own home." He said and the woman raised her brows. "What do you mean, Harry? Someone hurt Draco?" Hermione asked, putting up a hand towards Molly, indicating that the woman should back down. Harry looked over at the girl that he held very dear to his heart.

"Yes... His father, if I am not mistaken. Cruciato curse..." He said and Molly's face fell. "Oh Harry..." She said and Hermione then sighed. "Am I correct to assume that you felt it?" She asked and looked at the moving markings. "Yes." He said and moved his shoulders. "And you're at the moment trying to collect yourself, so that you do not attack us, or go to the manor and kill everyone?" She asked and Harry clenched his jaw, humming in acknowledgement. "Great. Appreciate it. Tell us when you're ready to interact." She said and Harry closed his eyes once more, his knuckles white from how hard he was fisting his hands.

Hermione sent Molly her famous raised brows and laid her head to the side. Molly sighed and nodded slowly. And so everyone continued on with their breakfast in relative silence, leaving Harry in his chair, when they walked up to the living room, to discuss the plan over some more. A couple hours later, Harry showed up, his eyes now merely red and his markings not moving anymore.

"Hey Mate. Come sit." Ron said and clapped the seat beside him, to which Harry nodded and sat down, folding his legs and crossing his arms. "When is Fleur and Bills wedding?" He asked and Arthur sighed. "I believe it is, July 23rd." Harry nodded sighing softly. "If all goes to plan... The deatheaters should attack that day, at the burrow. Don't fret... Me, Hermione and Ron will leave, drawing them with us, as it is I whom they want. Then we will officially be 'on the run'. Until it is safe, apparate here, Fleur, Bill and Charlie are all welcome, as are the rest if they do not find it safe enough to go home... I will give Ginny access to let in who she deems fit." He said and Remus furrowed his brows. "Why not me, or Kingsley?" He asked and Harry eyed them.

"Did you use to trust Dumbledore? In whatever he said?" He asked and they both shrugged nodding their heads. "Ginny, what about you?" "That nasty old man? Fuck no." Ginny said and Molly looked at her with wide eyes.

"This is why." Harry said and they all looked even more confused, except Ginny, Hermione, Ron, Luna and Neville, whom all raised their brows and nodded.

"That is no way of speaking about your superiors..." Kingsley said and Harry sent a glare his way. "Dumbledore has put Blocks on my Magic, my whole life. So that I never became more powerful than a little above average... But of course, it slipped once in a while, like how I can cast a Patronus so easily." Remus humed and nodded his head. "He put me in the hands of my abusive relatives, and got Sirius falsly charged and put in Azkaban, when he fully well knew that Peter was still alive." Now that last part, everyone's eyes widened to.

"HE KNEW?!" Remus yelled out and Harry nodded. "Of course he did." "Wait..." Remus' face fell as he looked over at Harry. "Abusive." He said through his teeth and Harry just nodded once more. "That... Lying... Manipulative. SON OF A BITCH!" Remus jumped up and began to pace, clearly distraught. "Relax... I turned out fine, after all..." Harry said and Remus grumbled out something that no one understood.

"Ginny is getting the grant. End of discussion." Everyone nodded and started to view their whole lives differently. Remus then suddenly froze and Harry glanced at him, seeing the colour fading from the mans face, as something seemed to dawn upon him. "What did you just remember?" He asked and narrowed his eyes, all eyes turning to the shabby older man. "Nothing... I have to make a... I got to go." He said and Harry hummed, but let the man leave.

It was now the day of the wedding. Harry was getting better at controlling his impulses, especially after Draco's birthday, when the boy had been touching their marks all day, practically non-stop. Which Harry had responded to, telling the others that meetings were off, and he stayed in his bed.

Now he stood dressed in a clean suit, his Slytherin ring on, as well as the many others, and the green/silver piercings. When Fleur, Charlie and Bill all saw Harry, they were in shock. "I didn't know they did tattoos on underage, kiddos!" Charlie exclaimed and laid an arm around the shoulders of Harry, who had tried to hide his red eyes, but no Glamour could hide them, and they had not stayed green, since Draco was gone.

"Ah... They do not..." Harry said and took a shot of his whiskey. "How'd you get 'em then. A spell?" Bill asked, his arm around his new wife. "No no." Harry said with a cold laugh, making a shiver run down their spines. "My mates, got a Mated Bond." Ron said roughing up Harry's hair, Harry's eyes shifting to black for a split second, but it was noticed. "Ah, sorry mate." Ron said and chuckled, backing up. "A mated bond, ya say." Charlie hummed and nodded. "What kind? If you don't mind me asking, that is." He said and took his arm off of Harry who shrugged and looked at them all with a kind smile, which made Fleur's tense shoulders, ease up slightly.

"Wolf bond..." Harry said and Charlie choked on his drink. "A what?!" He exclaimed and Harry nodded. "First known one, since Merlin and Arthur's time. I am aware." "Holy shit..." Bill said and Harry let out a short laugh, which made Molly look over with wide eyes. "Ah. Enough about me. How's your day coming along?" Harry asked, directing the attention over to the new married couple, straightening his sleeves.

"Oh it iz going quite well, thank you 'Arry!" Fleur said and glanced down at Harry's arms, her eyes widening at the sight of a certain mark, her body tensing once more. "Mrs. Weasley..?" Harry asked with furrowed brows.

"You quite alright..?" He asked and chuckled softly. Fleur's head snapped up to look at him in the eye.

"Wha' have zu done to 'Arry Po'er." She said and drew her wand, from a neat pocked in her dress. Harry held up his hands with wide eyes. "Wow... Okay." He said and chuckled. Charlie and Bill did as Fleur and drew their wands at the boy.

Hermione and a few others noticed the shift in mood, and looked over at the new couple as well as Charlie and Harry. Ron had run off somewhere, so Hermione quickly gathered her dress in fists and ran over there and in between the wands and Harry. "Cut it out." She hissed, glaring at them all. "E haz ze Dark Mark... That iz no' 'Arry Po'er." Fleur said, making Bill and Charlie charge up their wands. "It is!" Hermione hissed and sighed, looking back at the boy behind her, who stood with a cracking mask, and she felt sorry for him. "He can't hide it away... But it was not his choice to get it." And so she explained what had happened, and Harry just stood there, his hands still raised against his chest.

Fleur, Bill and Charlie lowered their wands and sighed. "Bloody hell..." They said and Harry smiled softly at them. "I apologize for ruining the mood... I'll go see if theres use for me else where..." He said and walked off. Hermione looked after him with sad eyes, and then back at the three adults. "Please, continue the day. We have until 10PM... Before they show up, if following the plan that Harry got..." She said and the other three turned back to the party.

Hermione however, ran out to find Harry. Seeing him sitting quite faraway on the fence that surrounded the burrow. She walked up to him and took the self refilling glass away. "It's not good for you... And we need you sober for later." She said and put it aside. Harry just sighed and nodded.

"It's always gonna be like that, from now on... Isn't it..?" Harry expected no answer... He knew it already. He got no answer either, and they both just stood in silence, enjoying one anothers company.
