Chapter 3
Chapter 3
Harry woke up the next morning before his dorm mates. He quietly made his way to the bathroom to shower. As he was walking he saw Cole and Keiran cuddling in Cole's bed. He smirked and cast a quick aguamenti at them. They woke up screaming from the ice cold water the spell created.
Keiran saw him first and screamed, "Harrison James Potter!"
Harry giggled and ran to the common room. He slowly made his way to Snape's office. The first thing he had to do was apologize to him. He knew he was in the wrong for the pensieve incident.
Harry finally got to Snape's office and knocked softly. He heard a murmured 'enter' and opened the door. Snape was sitting at his desk and was in the process of grading papers.
Snape looked up and scowled as he saw Harry. Harry started talking before Snape could tell him to leave.
"Sir, I wanted to take this opportunity to apologize for the incident last year. I'm truly sorry. I shouldn't have looked. I was just hoping you would have had some information since everyone seems content to leave me in the dark until someone dies."
Severus looked at the boy in shock. Of all the things he's expected to hear, an apology was not one of them. In fact an apology was the very last thing he'd expected. Severus could see that the boy was sincere as well. It went a long way to soothing his irrational hatred towards him.
Severus smiled softly and said," All is forgiven, Mr. Potter."
Harry beamed a smile at his Head of House.
"Thank you so much, Sir!"
Snape nodded and said, "You wanted a room for your band to practice in, yes?"
Harry nodded and Snape led him to a room not far from the Slytherin common room. It was completely bare, not even a chalkboard to attest to its having been a classroom at one point or another. Snape nodded to Harry curtly then left.
Harry left for his dorm room to get his guitar and violin. As he was entering the common room he saw Draco and Blaise descending the boys' dorm room stairs ahead of him. Luna was waiting at the bottom of the stairs for him.
Luna bounded over to him to kiss his cheek. Draco made a growling noise in his throat. Harry didn't hear him but Blaise did. Blaise looked from him to Draco and back again before realization dawned on his face and he grinned to himself.
Harry and Luna exited the common room and headed to the "band room." Harry set his guitar down and the violin case on top of it. He opened the case and tuned it quickly and prepared to play. Luna looked confused for a moment and then breathed, "Music magic."
Harry grinned and started playing a complicated concerto. As he played the room changed. A red couch appeared with a side table made from mahogany. Amplifiers and bar stools materialized, and as the song was winding down a large ornate mirror popped up on the far wall. The mirror took up almost the entire wall. This room was the one place he felt safe. This room was home.
Luna smiled and hugged Harry tightly. She missed being home too. Soon the others started to trickle in. They needed to have a band meeting or 'band summit' as Kira called them. They needed to decide what songs to play at Black Rose on Friday.
Harry spoke first. "I think that we should start with a duet then split into the songs we individually sing then another duet and then the next person should sing. For example Kira and I could sing Give it Up then Kira could sing a few songs then we would sing Best Days of Your Life then I would sing as Jaimee. Then I would be me and would sing a duet with Kira again then sing as me. Then Maniac could be our last song."
Draco got up early the next morning so he could put the charm on the Potter's band room. Afterwards he went back to bed for a while, he woke up as Potter left the room to meet Severus. He went and got a shower and got dressed. He woke Blaise and made him get ready for the day. Once he had Blaise up and ready they went to Severus' rooms and heard Potter apologizing so they hid in an alcove until they left to the band room. They decided to head to the breakfast before the meeting with Severus since he would be a little while.
(An undetermined time lapse)
After breakfast they went back to their dorm to get their robes for the meeting. They were walking down the dorm stairs again when he saw Potter entering the common room and hug Looney Lovegood. He growled under his breathe and stomped down the remaining stairs.
They left for Severus' rooms again and waited for a couple minutes. Severus walked in and activated the floo. They were going to their Lord's manor to watch the charm and have a meeting after.
When they got to Riddle Manor they went to the meeting hall and saw their lord sitting in his favorite emerald green armchair. Lucius, Narcissa, Bellatrix, Rabastion, and Rodolphus were already there. They had been waiting for Severus, Blaise, and Draco. As soon as they were seated their lord, Marvolo, started to activate the charm.
They saw Harry waking up when the charm started. They watched as he showered then saw the devious smirk that lit up his face when he saw his band-mated curled up together. Everyone laughed as he cast and variation of aguamenti that created freezing cold water. Both boys screamed when they were hit. They watched as Potter apologized to Severus and saw Severus accept his apology. Everyone turned to look at Severus. He shrugged and turned back to the screen.
Potter went to the Slytherin common room and retrieved two cases then he and Lovegood went to the designated band room. When he entered he set both cases down and opened one. Inside was a small violin. He tuned it expertly and started playing a complex piece. As he played the room changed. The Lovegood girl gasped and said, "music magic" in complete awe.
The others weren't much better. They were shocked he knew what music magic was much less being able to utilize it with little to no effort. Plus they were shocked he could play the violin so well.
Draco was staring at the monitor showing Harry. He was amazed that Harry was so different than how he'd acted for five years. He definitely wanted to get to know this new Harry.
They got over their shock as the other members of the band came in. They watched as Potter tuned his guitar and started playing the opening notes of a song. As Potter was playing he was telling his friends about a song he was working on. He had the first verse done but he was working out kinks in the chorus. It confused them when he said it was a Jaimee song. He laughed a little and said he was calling it King of Anything.
The girl, Kira, asked what the inspiration was for the song. Potter sighed and said, "Dumblefuck and how he thinks his opinions and thoughts are the only thing that matter to everyone."
Kira laughed and launched into the 'band summit'.
"Okay everyone we need to figure out what songs we are gonna sing at Black Rose Friday night."
Harry spoke. "I think that we should start with a duet then split into the songs we individually sing then another duet and then the next person should sing. For example Kira and I could sing Give it Up then Kira could sing a few songs then we would sing Best Days of Your Life then I would sing as Jaimee. Then I would be me and would sing a duet with Kira again then sing as me. Then Maniac could be our last song. As for the Jaimee songs I wanted to either sing Freak the Freak Out or Who Owns My Heart."
Kira nodded and said,"Okay then. Let's practice both then decide which one sounds better."
With that said, Harry started shifting into Jaimee.
The Dark Lord and his loyal followers gasped in shock. Potter was a gendamorphagus and a metamorphagus as well! When they got over this revelation they noticed Potter had finished shifting.
"Jillian Aimee Potter at your service," Potter giggled in a girl voice.
"Jillian Aimee Potter?" Kira asked curiously.
"Well I thought that I'd give my favorite forms different names. My great great grandmother's name was Jillian and Sirius' favorite grandmother was named Aimee. I wanted to tribute my family so I combined Jillian and Aimee and got Jaimee for this form's nickname."
"I also see you changed a few aspects of Jaimee's looks. The silver eyes and platinum blonde highlights for example." Kira smirked.
Potter blushed a bright red and said," I don't know what you're referring to. I think you may need your eyes checked Kira." Potter sneered haughtily.
" I happen to know that those eyes and that color in your highlights match a certain platinum blonde Slytherin Ice Prince's."
Jaimee blushed harder and stuttered, "I don't know why you'd think that I'm using Draco's eye and hair colors."
Kira scoffed and questioned, "Since when is he Draco to you, hmmmm?"
Everyone turned again to look at Draco in the meeting room. He blushed and a small smile graced his features. Everyone could see how smitten he was with Potter.
"Okay fine, so maybe I have a little crush on Draco. But it doesn't matter, he'd never like me back. Besides worrying about dying at anytime, because of a god damned quirk of fate, is not conductive to a healthy relationship. I've resigned myself to being alone for as long as I am able to survive. To be honest I'm amazed I've lasted this long. Between the muggles, Dumbles, and the Dark Lord I'm amazed I'm relatively unscathed.
Kira sighed. " Harry you are way too pessimistic. How do you know Draco won't like you back and want to be with you? You are a wonderful person and if he can't see that then you don't need him. But you won't know until you put yourself out there. And if you want to stop fighting with the Dark Lord then contact him and tell him and be completely sincere. I have a good feeling about doing that. I also know you resent Dumbledore and his leaving you with abusive muggles and then not checking on you bu you need to learn to trust adults again. I truly believe you can trust Professor Snape and the other Slytherins.'
Potter nodded and said, "I'll try."
Kira smiled and said, "That's all I ask."
Then the charm was deactivated and the Death Eaters and Marvolo looked at each other. Draco was a bit upset at the fact that Harry thought he'd never want him. But he reminded himself they had been rivals for five years. He decided then and there he'd prove Harry wrong.
Draco turned to his lord and asked,"Sir, are you going to allow him to be neutral?"
Marvolo thought about it for a minute and ran over what had been said in his mind before nodding.
Draco nodded and then smiled brilliantly. He couldn't wait to start openly pursuing his Harry.
