"What is that?" Severus asked, sitting back down at the table.
Nicolas explained about the breakfast meeting he'd had with Albus the previous morning. "I had wondered why he had not asked you about the Familia Sanguis potion. You, of all people could have told him about its properties so I did not understand why he would not consult with you even though you were at your manor house, but I see now he did not want you to know what he was planning."
"Yes, I did figure him, Potter, and Black would be plotting about a way to turn Harry back into his former appearance."
"How were they planning to do it?" Harry demanded angrily. "Were they going to kidnap me and administer the potion? Do they really think I don't have any say in it?"
Lily got up, clutching her wand. "I'm flooing over to Potter Manor and believe me when I'm through, the headmaster won't be the only one running for the nearest lake! How dare they think they can control Harry's life in whatever way they want to!"
"Take it easy, Lily, Harry," Severus urged. "They can bluster and whine all they want, but there is really nothing they can do about Harry's adoption now." He turned to Nicolas. "Thank you for letting me know about this. We will be ready for anything they may try."
Nicolas shook his head. "I have always been a great admirer of Albus' and we have worked and made many discoveries together, but he has become obsessed with that alleged prophecy and now that is all that concerns him. The fact that he would lie to me to protect it is very upsetting to me."
"I'm sorry too, Nicolas," Severus said. "Please tell Perenelle hello for me and give her my love."
"I shall. Please keep in touch, Severus. Perenelle and I are always happy to hear from you. She will be so happy to hear you have a family now," Nicolas said as he stepped into the fireplace, threw down the floo powder and said, "Flamel Estate, Kent."
Severus went back to the table to find both Harry and Lily had calmed down. Harry was impressed with the fact that he'd met Nicolas Flamel who was over 600 years-old. "Gee, Dad, he doesn't look a day over 65.
"No, he does not and you have just met one of the most brilliant wizards in our time or any time for that matter – he puts Professor Dumbledore to shame frankly."
"Wait until I tell my friends I met Nicolas Flamel. Hermione will probably want every last detail she can wring out of me," Harry laughed.
The month passed quickly and one night Severus entertained Harry and Lily with the story about how he and Professor McGonagall while on patrol the night before had caught Ron Weasley and Seamus Finnegan attempting to smuggle a half-grown dragon up to the Astronomy Tower. "It turns out they were smuggling it the top of the tower so his brother, Charlie, who's a Dragon-Keeper in Romania, and two of his friends could fly it back to the dragon reserve where they work."
"Where on earth did they get a dragon, Dad, and where were they keeping it?" Harry asked.
"The dragon was one Hagrid was attempting to raise in his hut so they were doing him a favor by having Mr. Weasley's brother take it. That is why neither of us were very hard on them. Professor McGonagall took 10 points each from them. Why they did not ask somebody to cast a feather-light spell on the cage I will never know. That is what attracted our attention in the first place; the loud thumping sounds coming from the Astronomy Tower staircase."
"I can't believe Hagrid would keep a dragon in his hut," Lily said with a shake of her head. "They're huge, they roar, and they breathe fire. How on earth long did he think he'd be able to keep it without somebody finding out?" Lily asked.
"I guess he was just not thinking. He told me once that he has wanted a dragon ever since he was a little kid, but he is very lucky that Mr. Weasley and Mr. Finnegan were able to talk him into letting Charlie Weasley take it because if anybody from the Ministry had found out; Hagrid would have been in big trouble."
"Well, it's nice to know those two aren't nasty to everybody," Harry said.
"I think the only thing stopping Professor McGonagall from sending a note home to his mother was that he was helping out Hagrid."
"Well, for Arthur and Molly's sake I'm glad to hear Ron has some redeeming qualities," Lily stated.
"Yes, and I am thankful we will be spared another Howler from Molly Weasley. Merlin knows we have had to listen to quite a few of them since the twins have come to Hogwarts."Harry finished his dessert and got up. "I'm meeting up with my friends to study in the library." He gave Lily and Severus a hug. "I'll see you both at breakfast tomorrow."
"Okay, Harry," Severus said. "Don't stay up studying too late and get a good night's sleep."
"Pleasant dreams, Harry," Lily called.
"Thanks Mum, Dad."
After Harry had left, Severus yawned and got up to get a cup of coffee. "I had better get a start on my grading. Thank Merlin; I do not have to patrol tonight. It always puts me behind. I was up until one this morning finishing essays."
"Yes, I've got essays to grade also," Lily replied getting up. "I'll see you at breakfast tomorrow, Sev."
"Okay, have a good night and do not stay up too late," he joked.
"You, either," Lily responded.
The next morning at breakfast, Severus strolled into the Great Hall, nodding at his snakes as he passed the Slytherin table. He spotted Harry and his friends sitting at the Hufflepuff table today. He could see Harry was involved in a conversation with Mr. Diggory.
