The Burrow.Ginny POV

In the meantime,Ginny was amusing herself in her bedroom amid photos of herself.Ginny Weasley adored Ginny Weasley in contrast of her scorning everybody.No one matched her perfection.Grinning,Ginny was writing down on a diary her ideas to get wealthy and powerful.

"1)Compel Potter to have a crush on me,if necessary I'll brew a love potion or impero him.I'll kill Potter once I'm pregnant.I'll take over his fortune in behalf of our child.I'll drown our dear child in the guise of an accident afterwards.I don't share MY money.

Ginny tittered.That blasted Half-Blood didn't deserve it,anyway.Besides,he was an out gay,which scandalized Ginny.She didn't forget the day she had followed Potter for offering him a glass of pumpkin juice spiked with a strong love potion.Cursing her little legs she hadn't managed to catch up with him until Potter was locking himself in an empty room at Hogwarts.She didn't miss Michael Corner entering soon after.As she eaversdropped,Ginny did hear them making out.Steaming mad,she had ransacked a nearby room.Ever since she bore a grudge against Corner.

"Slay Michael Corner.Slay Michel Corner.He must die in agony.Farewell Corner!Die Corner!"

Ginny was learning dark magic in the hope of disposing of Corner.She didn't allow a filthy Ravenclaw to steal HER Harry,HER wallet.Ginny needed the contents of Potter's vaults.She would never let Corner interfere with her plots.Maybe she should find out a book about the Fiendfyre curse.She projected to liquidate Corner thanks to this hex.

"I'll shove Dumbledore down the stairs then bring his corpse to Lord Voldermort.Or I'll stab the old meddlesome coot.The Dark Lord will be glad."

Ginny burst out laughing.She didn't remark she was being observed,closely.Obviously, she noted down another trickery.

"I'll impero Molly to force her to poison food she serves.My siblings and Arthur'll pass away.I hope they give her the Dementor's Kiss.

Ginny beamed.The Wizarding world would support the poor grief stricken girl.Ginny exulted.She bet they was bound to spoil her offering many gifts or jewels for comforting her.Ginny couldn't wait for fulfilling all those schemes.She merited the best.Ginny was a goddess.

The surroundings of Fork.Emmett POV

The rain was teeming down as Emmett and Rosalie quit another hotel.They were looking for a room.They tried and fled that bloody weather.It didn't stop.Rosalie endlessly kept complaining about her soaked hair.Every single time she sniveled,Emmett gritted his fangs.Rosalie irritated him.Drenched to the skin,they were a sorry sight.

Furthermore,Carliste's rejection still recurred.He felt dejected.Emmett didn't grasp that Rosalie insisted on overlooking their plight or emphasizing petty details rather than revealing the truth.She missed the Cullens,too.Emmett knew Rosalie was way too proud to admit it.Their whole world had just scattered and yet Rosalie fumed and sniped at Bella Swan.Emmett attempted to ignore her,pondering on what to do next.

They were roaming since they had left the tarn.Worse of all,no hotel's room seemed available which led them to paddle.This was Edward's fault.Nothing obliged him to lust after a mortal.Emmett was sick and tired of that downpour.Drops blurred his sight whereas he often wiped them with a cloth.

"How about going to Canada?"Emmett suggested,half-heartedly.

"Why?"Rosalie queried,icily.

"We can find lots of animals to hunt.They are some covens over there.Maybe they'll accept us."

Rosalie didn't reply but she rushed to the frontier.Emmett smiled.They could begin a new adventure as well as chanced on welcoming covens for forming a family,like the Cullens.

Michael Corner.POV

At the very moment,Michael Corner was moping during Harry's absence.He clutched a lion plush Harry had sent him just as Michael had bought him a raven plush.His boyfriend went on holiday two weeks ago,he returned home the next week.Michael couldn't wait for kissing,fondling and cuddling Harry.They had planned to meet in Diagon Alley in order to get their school supplies.Together.

Of course,they regularly wrote letters to each other,though it didn't soothe much his sorrow.Many things reminded him of Harry. Pumpkin juice or butterbeer they sipped in the same glass.At nightfall,they often played Quidditch on the Hogwarts pitch for hours to end up snogging in the shower afterwards. Michael couldn't see a Quidditch pitch or any items related to this sport without depressing during the summer break. Michael remembered with nostalgia each time they exchanged to each other sweets or cakes.

Plus,they usually ate in couple at mealtimes either on Gryffindor's table or on Ravenclaw's one,disregarding loads of leers boring into their backs.Harry's fan-girls or fan-boys resented their relationship.They hissed,muttered in Michael's direction, sneering whenever he snapped.He refused they spoiled their pleasure.They were bound to get over it,eventually.

Michael was gazing absent-mindedly at the ceiling until an owl rapped on the window. Turning his head,Michael recognized Hedwig right now.Harry's owl brought him a letter from his boyfriend.Michael shouted for joy before opening her.Hedwig flew into Michael's room in all her majesty.She perched on his arm and hooted.Michael petted her then offered her some fresh water that he changed everyday in case Hedwig visited him.Hedwig stretched out a paw which contained a parcel.Michael untied it carefully.Hedwig nibbled at his ear fondly next she flew back outwards.

Michael ripped open the parcel showing his eagerness.Michael discovered a letter,a tee-shirt and...a lighter.What the heck?!He didn't smoke.Michael was worrying about Harry's sanity until he brushed the object.An invisible force griped his navel and dragged him to an unknown destination.Michael screamed in panic.What was wrong with Harry?!He landed up in a park.

Some huge towers surrounded it.Groups of people kicked in an egg-shaped ball.Michael gasped.A young man was watching tons of moving pictures on a metal roundish thingy. He was pretty sure they were emitting sounds as if they could speak.Michael surmised the shock of traveling that way had him raving.

"Yikes!Where am I?"Michael exclaimed in disbelief.

"Hi Mike! Do you like my portkey?"Harry greeted him,appearing in front of Michael.

"Harry..."Michael trailed off.He had red-rimmed eyes.

Without waiting,Michael pounced on Harry and kissed him all over.The lovers nestled against each other.

Chapter Text

Michael Corner fell in love with Harry since the first day he bumped into him amid other hostile students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.This unfading memory had him smiling as he was hugging Harry.

Michael couldn't believe he was dating him yet.Michael sometimes considered himself unworthy of such an honour.He also remembered quite well many people had tried and prevented them from seeing each other.Harry Potter was the Boy-who-lived, so the mob who make up their world claimed that they were entitled to set high standards for their hero,which didn't include going out with a guy.Michael smirked.Their enemies had failed.They still frowned upon their relationship but Michael did know Harry loved him and vice versa.

Flashback

Their first encounter happened during their fifth year at Hogwarts.The Ministry asserted Harry was an attention seeker who longed for sowing discord thanks to his fairy tales about You-know-who.The newspapers ridiculed Harry.Basically,both refused to acknowledge You-know-who was back.This was a difficult period for Harry.Most of students believed in the Ministry's drivel. They criticized the former Golden boy,called him names such as unhinged liar,batty Potter or other slurs.The students pointed at him,emulated Harry's actions for debunking him and they never hesitate to denigrate Harry.

Besides,Umbitch particularly victimized Harry,however his future boyfriend didn't yield to pressure.He kept repeating You-know-who returned.For his part,Michael doubted Harry was flimflaming the whole school.Harry didn't seem like a weirdo contrary to Luna Lovegood.Derek Hale,Isaac Lahey and Jackson Whitttermore,Michael's best friends,didn't confide in Harry's story. They often poked fun at him.Michael kept silent in his defense of Harry for fear of alienating his mates.He dreaded to become an outcast.

During this fateful day,Michael waked up at 6 a.m,as usual.He put on a blue tracksuit and red trainers then he went out of the Ravenclaw's dorm for his morning jog around the castle.Michael ran ten laps next he did sixty press-ups settling in the grass beside Hagrid's hut.Panting,Michael downed a bottle of water.He headed back to the Ravenclaw Tower for having a shower.The sweat was pouring off him.Suddenly as he was entering the hall,he chanced on Malfoy and his minions belittling Harry.The latter rushed to hide in lavatory.His lips tightened Michael chased after him without thinking.

When he found Harry again,he was sobbing. Michael swore to tell off those slimy snakes. Michael crept up behind Harry very slowly for not frightening him.Michael's eyes roved over Harry.He had to admit the former idol of the Wizarding world was gorgeous.Michael ogled him until he got a hard-on. Embarrassed, Michael had his fingers crossed for Harry didn't notice that.

The Ravenclaw teen forced himself to picture Draco Malfoy naked,which solved this issue at once.The ferret face was so ugly,he gave him the creeps.Plus,Michael disliked that kind of posh guy.His heart was pumping as he glanced at Harry.Shaking his head,Michael began cogitating about ways to make conversation.He crouched,cleared his throat before speaking.

"Hiya Potter.You shouldn't listen those social misfits.They aren't worth it."Michael awowed in a matter-of-fact voice.

"Bog off!"Harry yowled,covering his face with both hands.

"No way.I believe you Potter.You-know-who's back.The Ministry's been lying to us for months.I wanna help you."Michael confessed.

Harry gazed at him through his fingers as though he was gauging him.Despite his tearful appearance,Michael admired Harry's vivid green eyes.Both teens stared at each other until Harry looked away.The Gryffindor relaxed a tad.Michael plopped down to the left of Harry.They felt silent.Michael blushed whenever he peeked at Harry.He realized he had a crush on Harry.Michael wondered how he managed to be sorted in Ravenclaw,at times.Michael wasn't subtle.Harry half smiled,which indicated Michael's antics didn't upset him.

"No offense but...Who are you?I don't know you."Harry asked,wiping his tears with an arm.

Michael grinned."None taken!My name is Michael Corner."

Michael stuck his hand out to shake.Much to Michael's pleasure,Harry squeezed it straight away.They were about to chat when Derek, Isaac and Jackson barged into the room. They immediately crinkled their noses and sneered at Harry,showing their disgust. Michael got flustered.He wanted to comfort Harry still,he cared for his friends.Michael swallowed hard when they glowered at him as if he had just betrayed them.Michael gulped.Cursing his own cowardice,he cringed in a corner by quashing the urge to protect Harry.He knew what was bound to transpire afterwards.

"Mike!What the heck are you doing?Don't associate with that nutcase!"Derek snapped.

"Yeah.He's maundering about he-who-must-not-be-named.That bloke needs his head examined."Isaac pipep up,waspishly.

"Use your brain,Mike.That psycho's making up loads of nonsense.Don't let that thing bullshit you."Jackson rebuked scornfully.

"That boaster demands we must worship him.He's delusional."Derek added.

"Being Dumbledore's pet made Potter arrogant."Isaac said popping the last world.

Harry fled his eyes filled with tears.The trio burst out laughing.Michael didn't dare to stand up for him.Shameful,Michael nodded then moved off,at least that was he intended on doing until the three teens blocked his way.Michael sighed.He had just abandoned Harry while his friends resented how he behaved.Derek grabbed Michael's arm roughly.Michael flinched.

"Watch out Mike.Stop talking to Potter or else you'll regret it.Got it?"Derek threatened.

"Yeah.Yeah.Gotcha."Michael retorted deadpan,abstaining from quailing.

Michael tried to escape but Derek tightened his grip.

"Where are you going?You're gonna follow that maniac?You disappoint us."Isaac huffed

"No.I want to wash and get changed.I can't study like this."Michael claimed,pointing at his sweaty clothes.

"Sure.You stink Mike.No wonder Potter check you out.He gotta like some filth." Jackson guffawed.

Derek as well as Isaac sniggered.Derek let him go after shoving him to the ground. Michael scurried for the exit.His so called friends glared at him boring hole into Michael's back.They didn't forgive him. Michael was appalled that his mates could have turned out so cruel.He had misjudged them.Maybe Michael should have picked nicer friends.

Terry Boot or Anthony Goldstein appeared pleasant.No.Their friendship was impossible.Derek had broken Terry's nose just for fun once.He belittled everyone and he also hit the other Ravens.Jackson regularly stole Anthony's stuff.Every single day Isaac made Luna Lovegood and firsties cry. Gosh!Michael grasped in horror he hanged out with bullies.

Derek Hale.POV

Derek growled after Michael's departure. Frankly,he didn't understand Mike.Didn't he make out Potter was insane?Even Loony Lovegood looked more stable than Potter. Derek promised himself to prick Michael's bubble.He knew Michael was gay,which he accepted by the way.On the other hand,what Derek didn't tolerate was Michael got randy around Potter.

Derek knew about Michael's obstinacy.They warned him that Michael was bound to fall into disrepute consorting with Potter in vain. Michael was lying.He craved for getting in touch with a madman somehow.Michael impeled Derek,Isaac and Jackson to react accordingly,for his own good.They were friends after all.

"Jackson follow Michael.Make sure he's heading for the tower.Isaac,come.We'll have a little...talk with Potter."Derek ordered, smirking.

Jackson nodded then sprinted off,promptly.The hell Derek let Potter manipulate Michael.Derek cracked his knuckles.It was time to teach to Potter a lesson or two for not messing up with their friend.Out of the corner of his eye,Derek noted that Isaac was grinning.They exited then hunted down the Gryffindor.

Harry Potter.POV

Michael wasn't the only one who remembered their first meeting.Harry beamed while he was wrapping his hands around Michael.His boyfriend rather missed him during the long summer break.The couple had faced up many difficulties.

Seeing that plenty of folks endeavoured to impede their budding link,friends and relatives included;they had accomplished a feat.Harry clutched Michael's body relishing this moment.Ever since Sirius had been killed by Lestrange,Harry was an emotional wreck,especially as Michael lived in Ireland; which kept Harry from speaking to him. Obviously,they wrote to each other,however it wasn't enough.Harry needed Michael's presence so much so he pined away without him.Michael became the centre of his universe,his anchor in life.Harry wept on Michael's shoulder as the latter tapped him on the back.Michael caressed him in support.

Flashback

People nicknamed Harry the Chosen one,the Boy-who-lived,the Golden boy,the brat and more recently the Boy-who-lied and so on. Harry loathed those who created such lame names.Each year he spent in the Wizarding world,he came back to study at Hogwarts with great trepidation,fearing what was in store for him.In the course of the last four years,Harry had risked dying once a month thanks to a certain old goat or an obsessive serial killer.Harry only wished he grew up like an ordinary teen.

Unfortunately,Voldemort or Ghastly mug as Harry dubbed him,was a lunatic set to blight Harry's existence attempting to murder him by fair means or fool since he was one year old!Dumbledore treated him like a mere weapon under the guise of a benevolent grandfather figure.Harry didn't trust the crook at all.He wasn't gullible.Dumbledork served of him.The Headmaster and Voldy endlessly nurtured some schemes to rule over their community transforming other witches and wizards into pieces of a giant chessboard.

Plus,Harry didn't forget had left in the Dursleys's doorstep with only a thin cover and a letter during a cold night of November. Stray animals could have ripped him apart. Perverts could have abducted him.Luckily enough,the Dursleys adored Harry.They pampered their nephew they considered a son or a baby brother.His surrogate mother Petunia always cosetted Harry and spoiled him.She force fed him of delicious homemade muffins as well as yummy dishes or pastries.Her eyes glintened with pride whenever she peeked at Harry.

Their fifth year at Hogwarts School turned out nightmarish.Ever since he had revealed Voldemort's return,the Ministry slandered and libeled Harry.Fudge refused Harry or Dumbledore acquainted their community with the fact they were in danger owing to Ghastly mug.The pink toad Umbridge tried her damnest to silence him even if it meant torturing Harry.Most of the students rejected,abused or insulted him whispering and muttering as he passed them.Harry quashed upsurges of anger when one of those sheep picked on him,obliging himself not to hex or punch them.Harry barely contained his annoyance.Resorting to violence would have ignited the jittery situation.Hermione and Ron supported him through this ordeal but because of their prefect's duties they left him alone quite a lot.

This factor led to a series of events that launched Harry's and Michael's relationship.

Their first encounter took place whereas Hermione and Ron had been summoned in McGonagall's office.Harry waked up early around 6 a.m to have breakfast in the Great Hall as most of students remained in their dorms.Classes only started at 8 a.m.Harry was going to reach the Hall when Malfoy and his minions appeared.Great.He hadn't the energy to deal with them.Malfoy,Nott,Goyle, Zabini and Parkinson leered at him.

Honestly,Harry couldn't fathom it.What did Malfoy and co hound him for?He guessed Malfoy hated his guts for choosing Ron instead of him.Harry only desired they vanished.He had already his work cut out. Harry despised Malfoy.He was a sneaky, bullish bigot.Besides,he behaved like a daddy's son,strutting around Hogwarts as if he owned the place.

"Oh look,Potter is forlorn.What happened?Dumby didn't give you any sweets?Have you lost your favorite quill for signing authographs?Potty don't forget your mind draughts.St Mungo is watching you."Malfoy sneered.

The Slytherins snickered.

"Shut up Malfoy!Clear off,gits!"Harry hissed gritting his teeth.

"How rude.You must imitate those Muggles who bred you.Oh sorry.Your slut of mother rubs on you."Draco sniffed.

"Nobody likes you Potter.Even the Weasel and that Mudblood Granger are bound to dump you.Do yourself a favor.Commit suicide."Nott added.

"Do you think you the sow you call your mom...Nah,I've forgotten.You never knew your repulsive mother.The Dark Lord disposed of her.Poor Scarface he's an orphan."Zabini tittered.

Dejected,Harry ran off as the herd of Slytherins jeered at him relentlessly.They had hit a sore point.Harry made a beeline for the nearest toilet.Sniveling,he collapsed on a wall.His body drooped as he was breaking down.Harry didn't notice Michael sneaked into the lavatory.He could count on the reptiles for kicking him about when he was already down.Harry rubbed his face refusing to let Malfoy demoralize him further.

Harry vowed revenge on Malfoy's gang.No matter what he had to do,they would pay for this.Perhaps he wawered owing to his plight but they wouldn't get away with it.Harry was torn between sadness and resentment towards the snakes.Harry didn't notice Michael approaching nor he perceived his lust for him until Michael cleared his throat. "Great.Another creep."Harry thought, bitterly.Although,the other boy was different.The Ravenclaw had never pestered him or talked to him for that matter.

Harry gasped eying up the interloper. Michael stood 5 foot 8 and radiated confidence.The Ravenclaw had sharp steely blue eyes,broad shoulders as well as a fair complexion,which contrasted with Harry's olive one.Michael was an hunky,short-haired brunette.What really caught Harry's attention was his bulging muscles that improved Michael's sporty frame.Harry drooled over his beauty.It lightly alleviated the sorrow he felt.

Obviously,Harry snapped after the teen had rambled fake gentle words.He didn't relied on a manipulative nobody.He barely needed a younger Dumbledork.Still,the more Michael spoke the more Harry realized he presumably misjudged him.Harry reckoned he should grant that Michael really attempted to help him.It was just his ingrained suspicious attitude towards strangers that stopped him to give in to the urge of flirting with Michael.

A smile flickered on Michael's handsome lips until three teens showed up.Harry tensed up,especially as Michael backed away allowing his friends to belittle Harry.No. Michael decoyed him into staying in the smelly spot until his mates turned up.Michael wouldn't fool him twice.

That ultimate betrayal embittered Harry.Aunt Petunia was right.The Wizarding world didn't deserve him;apart from the Weasleys, Hermione,Neville,Professors McGonagall and Flitwick as well as Hagrid,all witches and wizards deceived or used him.Harry stupidly expect him to be a gem.Michael glanced away whenever Harry stared at him for assistance.How brave of him.If only Harry could leave that wrecked castle.Harry didn't fit in this bunch of backstabbers.

Harry paid no attention as the three bullies scoffed as he buzzed off.Harry intended to avenge himself on Michael in defiance of his lust for appeasing his pain.First,Harry had to concoct some ideas.Malfoy,his lackeys, Corner and the traitor Seamus Finnigan were his first targets.

Chapter Text

Derek Hale.POV

Derek and Isaac chased after Harry Potter through the Hall.Derek didn't permit Potter to brainwash Michael to believe You-know-who returned,much less seduce their friend.Derek was livid.Michael allowed himself being manipulated because he fantasized on Potter.Mike could find another love interest like Jackson.The latter became infatuated with Mike for years.

Derek and Isaac encountered Potter in front of the Great Hall.Derek grabbed Potter's arm, Isaac punched the Golden boy straight away. Derek sighed.Isaac already lost patience. Potter screamed in pain,until Derek covered his mouth with a hand.Dragging a restless victim the duo brought the liar to a corner far away from staring students.Isaac giggled muttering some slurs on Potter.Derek sighed.Frankly,he didn't grasp how Isaac had been sorted in Ravenclaw,even if he didn’t complain.He was fun to hang out besides Isaac made him laugh humiliating Loony Lovegood.

Isaac ushered them to an empty room.Derek shoved Potter to the floor roughly while Isaac was banging the door shut.Derek noticed by smiling Potter flinched.Good.They daunted him.Derek cast a spell for locking the entrance.

'What the heck!?Let me go gits!"Harry snarled.

Derek slammed him on a wall."Don't speak psycho!I warn you.If ever you come near Michael again, you'll end up in the medical wing.Got it?I'm craving to use a powerful hex I've learned yesterday.I need a guinea pig. Interested?"Derek threatened.

Potter gulped,so Derek smirked.Isaac guffawed.They were about to have a nice chat when McGonagall,Flitwick and Snape appeared.Dammit!Derek was still gripping Potter's arm.There was no way he could fabricate some stories.Isaac looked the adults with mock horror.

"What's the meaning of this?!"McGonagall boomed out.

She shot daggers at Derek as he was went away from Potter.Derek feigned a smile. Snape flashed him a look of utter disgust. Isaac grinned.Derek admired his lying abilities.

"Derek and Harry are dating.They were making out when you entered.No offense but..."

"Enough!"Flitwick snapped cutting him off.Derek gaped at him.Their Head of House seldom got annoyed."Both of you disappoint me,boys.Two weeks of detention and fifty points from Ravenclaw.Each!Don't let it happen again!Go eat boys.I'll thank Terry Boot.He informed me you'll try to assault Mr Potter."

Gritting his teeth,Derek nodded then stormed off.Isaac tagged along behind him.Boot ratted on them.How dare he?!Derek balled his fists.He decided to drown Boot in a pool of blood.Boot's blood.Derek sensed Isaac was also steaming mad.The squeaker had to pay.

Three weeks later.Michael POV

During a sunlit day of early October,Michael was in the throes of doing abs next to Hagrid's hut when Jackson sat beside him. Michael grinned as he began working out, too.Jackson was the last person who talked to him at that moment.Derek and Isaac resented Michael's attraction for Harry Potter.Plus,they blamed him for the weeks they spent in detention.Flitwick caught them beating up Terry Boot right in the middle of the Common room.

Derek menaced to kill whoever dared to associate with Michael,not without spreading the news this "renegade"loved Harry.Only Jackson and Lovegood didn't reject or attempted to trip him.Michael was surrounded with leers in the Ravenclaw Tower.Harry gave him murderous looks as they passed each other.Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger,Harry's best friends,cast him death glares whenever they bumped into him.What Michael dreaded came true.He was an outcast.Even the other houses snubbed Michael.Harry loathed him which demoralized Michael the most.He really started to love Harry.

Meanwhile,Jackson reformed himself.He used to brutalize other students especially his pet peeve Goldstein,now he studied hard rather than persecuted people,remained in Michael's side,though he was an ugly duckling;supporting him while Derek and Isaac abandoned them.Jackson changed for the better.Jackson followed Michael everywhere.He even agreed to start jogging and training,grudgingly.Derek had been banned from the Quidditch team after attacking Terry Boot.Derek had thrown a fit and broke Roger Davies's nose when the Ravenclaw captain announced it.Michael convinced Jackson to take advantage of it for replacing Derek as a chaser.Michael was already a beater for the Ravenclaw's.

Michael was baffled they never kicked him out of the team.He supposed they couldn't deprive themselves of his talents.

Anyway,Michael enjoyed spending time with his best friend.Jackson's presence mitigated Michael's grief.He didn't know what he would do if he ended up alone.Derek failed to leave Michael totally isolated.

Harry.POV

The two Ravens working out didn't know Harry was observing them.Harry felt a whirlpool of emotions facing such a view. Michael's and the unknown teen's dubious closeness kindled a surge of jealousy in Harry's soul.They endlessly touched besides they acted couply.They kept beaming at each other.They were verging on displaying their affection.Harry groused.Although,he endeavored to forget him,Harry dwelled on Michael's memories.Harry longed for kissing the Irish boy.

In the course of the last weeks,Harry had realized he was not only attracted to Michael but in love with him as well.Consequently, Harry hated to pretend loathing him so as not being roughed up by Derek Hale and Isaac Lahey.Both of them had him terrified. He didn't understand Mike.Those guys were awful bullies.They even manhandled Luna, one of the softest girl Harry had ever met. What did Michael consort with them for?This situation embittered him.Harry loved Michael,he knew or at least he presumed Michael loved him too and yet Derek forced them to ignore each other.Never did Harry detest a person so much...No.He was raving. Voldemort,Snape,Dumbledork and Malfoy surpassed his exasperation towards Derek bloody Hale.Michael obsessed him.Harry sometimes wondered if the Ravenclaw had jinxed him.

Harry fastened his eyes on Michael's body.He drooled ogling his bum.He still lusted after Michael and yet he abstained from fessing up.Derek or Isaac would skin him alive.They didn't stop threatening him if he dated Michael,which amazed him.Luna told him the creeps turned their backs on Michael,impeled Harry to follow suit but attempted to meddle in Michael's life.Harry often ran after Michael in order to watch him.No,he wasn't stalking him.Unfortunately, Derek and Isaac tracked him down then intimidated him into dismissing his own feelings when he found Michael.

It made Harry sick.The duo spoiled their existences.Obviously,Harry had related to his friends all what transpired during their first encounter.They weren't much helpful. Hermione suspected Michael to deceive Harry.Ron poured out a torrent of abuse at Michael whenever Harry mentioned him while discussing.Ron seemed as though he abhorred Mike.Hermione dressed him down when Harry was harping on and on about Michael.Hermione distrusted the Ravenclaw. Plus,Harry was obliged to play up a fake hostility in front of the herd of sheep...No... the bulk of students.Harry had forgiven Michael for his friends'arrival.It wasn't his fault.

Shaking his head,Harry decided to challenge Derek.He had triumphed over Voldemort, defied the Pink Toad,drove back hundreds of Dementors;had fought dragons,a Basilisk, Fluffy and so many different creatures.He couldn't get flustered because of two jerks. As from this moment Harry took the plunge and confessed what he really thought about Michael.Harry dashed across the grounds to met him.Michael and the interloper were doing press-ups.It was time to balk Derek's plans to poison Harry against Michael or vice versa.

Jackson.POV

Michael exhausted Jackson.He had humored him by accepting to jog and work out.Since then,every single day he had to train with this hyper gym freak.Don't get him wrong.Jackson adored Michael.He just wanted a little peace and quiet before going to class.Michael goaded him into joining his exercise routine at 6 a.m.Even during the weekends!The nutcase didn't hesitate to shake Jackson awake if he tried to sleep. Plus,Michael gazed him with imploring seal eyes until he yielded.Jackson couldn't stomach turning him down.He never ordered him to back off.Honestly,Michael was just an overgrown baby.

Michael had been beaten by his father,so Jackson kinda understood he wished he became stronger.Jackson believed his mother and stepfather bred him up.Mike didn't speak much of his home life.

Every morning Jackson bore Michael's whims,toiling after that speed demon around the castle when they jogged,because he refused to disappoint Mike.He was his best friend.Jackson considered him a brother. Jackson couldn't care less Derek and Isaac gave them up.Good riddance.Derek terrified him.Isaac reeked of malice.They forced him to steal and ill-treat Goldstein.Actually Jackson fancied him.Jackson guessed he atoned for his past mistakes by being rejected like Michael.As if Jackson could have imagined a second dropping Michael for picking a monster.

Jackson knew Derek was a werewolf,which didn't perturb him by the way,but Derek regularly menaced to devoured them if they didn't obey.He even compeled Michael to see a girl while he quite knew Mike was gay just for his sick pleasure. Actually,the whole house of Ravenclaw knew about Derek's secret who took advantage of it for ruling over the Ravens.Nobody braved the self-proclaimed King of Ravenclaw's. Curiously enough,Derek didn't bop Michael whereas he usually battered or growled the other Ravens into submission.Isaac always sniggered behind Derek as he molested another student.Most of the Ravenclaws fled to the library for studying for fear of chancing upon the duo.Jackson presumed Derek had protected him and Michael.It backfired on them.Ever since Derek dumped them,their house assaulted the friends instead of Derek they all loathed.The latter didn't stood up for them anymore.

Jackson stopped musing on this topic as the resident drama queen aka Harry blasted Potter appeared.Great.Jackson lie down on the ground stretching out numb limbs.Damn Michael!He had cramps all over which deterred Jackson from moving in order to scold or thank Potter.He wasn't sure.After all Potter saved him of a torture Mike called doing exercises.Still,Jackson didn't forget how much Michael had suffered owing to Potter's rejection.Mike claimed he only liked Potter.Jackson wasn't blind.It stuck out a mile Michael loved the Gryffindor.Potter wasn't a beauty really contrary to Mike.

'Hi Mike!"Potter greeted.

Hearing Potter's voice,Michael hit the deck. Jackson groaned.Mike didn't change.

Michael.POV

"H...H...H...Har...Harry."Michael shuttered "What do you wanna say?"He wheezed.

Michael couldn't help but smile.Perhaps Harry forgave him his lapse of judgement. Gnawed by remorse Michael kept thinking he should have defended Harry as Derek and Isaac was belittling him.Harry's face at that moment often haunted Michael.Harry stomped towards Michael and Jackson as though coming near Michael weighed him. Michael fidgeted when their eyes met.His heart was pumping.

Jackson scowled.Michael was aware Jack deplored what he experienced for Harry. First,Jack didn't trust Harry at all,besides he doubted You-know-who was back.He also suspected "Batty"Potter to manipulate him. Michael was afraid Jack would abandon him if he started going out with Harry.Moreover he guessed Harry remembered Jackson slurring him amid the evil duo in the lavatory where Michael encountered Harry.Jack winced then got back again.Snarling, Jackson shielded him with his own body as if he considered Michael was in danger.

"Clear off Potter! Mike doesn't need your lies!"Jackson barked.

"I'm not fibbing about Voldemort.He came back and killed Diggory."Harry trailed off. Michael shivered.Jackson startled.

"Don't say His name!You think you're a hero,right?Stop raving!You're just a pathetic attention seeker.Now get the hell out of here!"Jackson roared

"Okay!See you Mike."Harry hissed glaring at Jackson.

Without thinking,Michael grabbed Harry's arm."Please stay Harry.Jack let him alone, please."Jackson relented glowering.

Harry tensed up then grinned at Michael.The sporty Ravenclaw clutched Harry next kissed him passionately.They ignored Jackson gaping at them.Much to Michael's joy Harry didn't resist.It placated Michael finding out Harry shared the same feelings.They snogged until they were out of breath. Michael held Harry tightly giving him a bear hug then groped him as the teens rubbed up against each other.Harry was moaning with pleasure.Michael nuzzled Harry's neck while Harry clung to him fondling him until Michael got excited.Michael stroked him back.Mike exulted.He had waited for this for weeks.

The future couple was having a snuggle.All of a sudden,Jackson screamed which impeled Harry and Michael to part.Jackson stared at them through narrowed eyes tightening his lips.They incensed him. Michael blushed.He completely disregarded Jackson.Nevertheless,Michael put his arms around Harry's waist quirking a brow.Even so Jackson shot daggers at Harry.Michael much cared for Jack but he couldn't stand him jeopardizing Michael's opportunity to make Harry's acquaintance.They barely knew one another.

Jackson frowned."Explain Potter.You've ignored Mike for weeks.Why the heck did you just kissed him?Are you a bipolar besides a compulsive liar?"

"I'm not mythonaniac!"Harry howled in rage. "I've been avoiding Mike because of Derek Hale.He threatened to murder both of us if ever I confessed of him my feelings"

"What?!"Michael exclaimed."I thought you resented me because I let you down when they rounded on you."

"No.I excused you pretty soon.Derek and Isaac cornered me after your departure.He ordered me to avoid you.Sorry Mike.Besides Ron and Hermione don't like you.They advise me to mistrust you.I've had enough of shunning you.'

"Okay.Missed ya!"Michael whined.Tears misted his eyes."Don't ditch me please"

"Promise.I missed you too.No dummy.I can't drop ya.You're too cute and adorable."

Jackson heaved a sigh."Derek is a pure nuisance.He's established a reign of terror in the Ravenclaw Tower.He prompted our housemates to reject Mike or else he'd slaughter them.Derek likes controlling people.I suppose he obliged you to pretend hating Mike.I loathe that guy.He made me bullied the dude I love."

"That Derek's long overdue a piece of my mind."Harry grumbled.Michael nodded.

Michael grinned.They sorta defused the tension between them.It was Derek's ploy to prevent him from dating Harry.Derek was ruining many lives as per usual.Michael didn't grasp how he could have chosen him as a friend.Despite all past and future difficulties,Michael was seized by a flicker of hope.He had elicited the truth from Harry.He loved him.Michael zeroed in on his possible boyfriend.Harry was so bold and gorgeous, Michael didn't get he desired a humdrum teen like him.

The Gryffindor captivated him so much he didn't acted when Derek jumped on them.

Derek.POV

Derek and Isaac were observing the scene behind Hagrid's hut.Needless to say,Derek seethed.Those losers disobeyed Derek's orders!He had warned Potter not corrupt Mike.Well,Derek had to punish the new couple.Derek promised himself to paste the three of them.Jackson also backstabbed him.They thought they were clever,right?Derek would prove them wrong.His plans went haywire but he was going to stop Michael and Potter to become a thing,even if it meant disposing of Potter.

Derek had treated Michael lightly.It was over.He motioned Isaac to accompany him then they raced through the grounds.Michael was wrapping his arms around Potter.No wonder the Golden boy looked slutty.White hot fury was rolling off Derek in waves.Jack and Mike was his.Derek didn't allow them to gum up his projects.Nor hanging out with people he didn't approve such as Potter.Now the students pictured Derek as a friend of Potter.To make things worse,Michael get laid with a lunatic in public no less!

Rage and hate distorting his face,Derek pounced on the duo.Mike shouldn't have rebelled.Derek had forbidden him to go out with Potter.Derek was about to massacre the traitor when suddenly a male voice shouted.

"Stupefy!"

Derek and Isaac crushed down.Helpless, Derek leered as the Snake's king aka Severus Snape sneered at him.Derek realized he was doomed to fail.Dammit! Derek swore to liquidate that phoney of Potter.He didn't decided Michael's fate yet. Nobody questioned Derek's decisions. Michael belonged to him.So did Jackson. Potter couldn't appropriate his stuff.The Lion duped Michael into believing he loved him. Derek had to kill Potter for Michael's good.

"Beware Potter.You're a dead man."Derek was musing as the group observed him. Radiating anger Derek glowered at them.He gloated when Jackson and Mike began quivering.

Snape.POV

Snape was beyond aggravated.First,he had to pull apart two foolish Slytherins fighting at 5 AM then as he was traipsing around the castle in order to relax,he came across that mess.Once again,Snape rescued the Potter boy,though he didn't bear a grudge against Lilly's son in that case.

Derek Hale was adamant to slaughter Potter and Corner.Hale's thoughts were overflowing with killing instinct as well as spiteful anger. Snape pursued Derek Hale and Isaac Lahey since McGonagall,Flitwick and Snape found them cornering Potter.The Head of Slytherin mistrusted them,especially as most of the Ravens quivered in fear when they met Hale. The boy was a brute.Hale browbeat Corner, Whittemore and even Lahey into obeying without demur.Moreover,Hale was a werewolf that took advantage of it for terrorizing his peers.The brat joined a growing list of people he should watch to protect Lily's son.Potter Jr was a danger magnet.Snape diligently overlooked Corner and Potter's lustful thoughts.

Snape abhorred students except his precious Snakes.

"Hale!Lahey!Follow me in my office!Right now!"Snape ordered very roughly." Corner, Potter,Whittemore go back to your dorms. Now!"

"Yes,sir."Corner,Potter and Whittemore chorused before bolting without a backward glance.

Snape guessed he could get their reaction. Lupin,damn him to hell,had made Snape's blood run cold during his years at Hogwarts. In his opinion werewolves shouldn't assist school among humans.Snape aimed his wand at Hale.He didn't confide in that beast. Muttering some slurs,the two Ravenclaws accompanied Snape.The group was heading for the castle when all of a sudden,they discovered an awful sight.Ronald Weasley and Terry Boot were having sex in the midst of the grounds.Stupid Gryffindorks.Twisted Ravennerds.Lahey snickered until Snape shot daggers at him.Indecency was the last thing he needed.Teenage hormone ridden minds infuriated the cranky professor.After making sure Haley and Hale tagged along behind him,Snape rushed to bawl out the two perverted whelps.Snape's nose crinkled at the view.

The day began well!

Michael.POV.One hour later

Michael had just washed,gelled his hair and got changed while Jackson was waiting for him as Flitwick entered the Common room. The two friends hurried to meet their Head of House.They plumped down in a blue sofa, dismissing any fierce glares they received from many Ravens.Michael turned queasy until Jackson smiled at him.Michael felt reassured when his brother in all but blood supported him.Then they zeroed in on Flitwick.

The ever cheery professor seemed grave,not to say annoyed.Michael quirked an eyebrow. That was not like Flitwick at all.The last time Flitwick had looked so dejected had been after Diggory's murder and You-know-who's return.Flitwick had announced He-who-must-not-named was back but little of them believed him.Michael scanned the room in a curious way.He noticed Derek and Isaac were nowhere to be seen.Despite all what transpired,Michael still regarded them as buddies.He only wished they could redeem themselves.Michael didn't forget Derek defended him when some bullies picked him on.Michael didn't expect him to persecute people as well.Derek acted like a big brother for their group.On the other hand,Michael knew Jackson loathed Derek due to Derek's inheritance.

"Good morning,my children.I regret to inform you that three members of our family have been suspended this morning.Derek Hale and Isaac Lahey have been suspended for three months for assaulting students.Terry Boot is suspended for a month because of some personal proclivities."Flitwick revealed looking uneasy."However that may be,I wish you contact me if ever some difficulties came up.I will help you to deal with them. Take care of visiting my office if ever a student bothers you.I warn you I won't tolerate any of you victimizing another student.I warn you.If you are heard to call names a fellow student,50 points will be taken of Ravenclaw and you will be required to serve two week's detention with me.If ever I heard of you belittling,hitting or committing any improper behaviour,you will serve five detentions and you will be forbidden to visit Hogsmeade.Ravenclaw prides itself on craving knowledge,curiosity and intelligence. I won't bear any of you tarnish its reputation."Flitwick related.

"What about them?"Anthony Goldstein asked point-blank glowering at Jackson and Michael."They're Hale's lackeys.That riffraff of Whittemore keeps stealing my stuff. Corner worships Hale.Corner always titters when Hale pummels or picks on one of us.Plus,Corner despises us.Both of them always criticize you."

The whole tower nodded apart from Luna Lovegood.Michael and Jackson tensed up as Flitwick gazed at them in a judgemental manner.Michael looked away while he sensed Jackson was seething.Dammit. Seeing that Derek their protector had left, Michael surmised the situation could only get worse.Nobody trammeled their numerous enemies's projects to torment the duo from now on.Anyhow,they never blended in their house.Derek,Isaac,Jackson and Michael had become friends owing to their loneliness.Only the other pariah Luna didn't treat them badly.

"Shut up nark!It's strange you don't speak about your own actions.For three fucking weeks,you've hexed,insulted,tripped and shunned Mike.Hypocrites!"Jackson barked

"Language Mr Whittemore!Detention with me tonight!"Flitwick snapped dismissing Jackson's words totally."Mr Corner and Mr Whittemore follow me,please."

Jackson and Michael jumped up then followed him.Their Housemates gloated over their downfall.Michael started fretting. Jackson squeezed Michael's arm in support. Curiously enough,Flitwick loped along so fast they almost ran to catch up with him. The tiny professor herded them in his office, he banged the door open,which represented an ominous sign.Michael shuffled sheepishly into the room.A leaden silence fell between them after Flitwick slammed the door shut.Michael gulped when their Head of House glared at them.It was unusual for Flitwick to lose his composure.Michael already knew they were screwed up prior to the lecture.He scarcely quashed upsurges of panic.This plight reminded him of his biological father.

Every time he forced Michael to enter his study,Michael's father beat him black and blue or humiliated him.His mother always healed any wounds but she never defended Michael.Ever since,Michael wasn't able to come into an office without shaking,though he very nearly managed to subdue his fear in front of Jackson.He couldn't help trembling as usual.Michael looked down ready to get battered by Flitwick.

"Boys,you disappoint me.Whatever your reasons I can't let you off.Mr Whittemore you're suspended for a month,once your suspension is up you will be required to serve two week's detention with Mr Filch. Stealing is unacceptable!Besides,you must give back to Mr Goldstein all items you purloined.If ever you start again this kind of misdeed,you'll be expelled.Hush Mr Whittemore."Flitwick lambasted them waving a hand to silence Jackson as he opened his mouth."It's useless to fabricate some story to put the blame for you action on innocents.As for you Mr Corner,you've forbidden to visit Hogsmeade until December.Ravenclaw,you must serve a week's detention with me and fifty points from Ravenclaw."

These decisions only fueled Jackson's anger."It's unfair!You play favorites,sir!Derek impeled us to act that way.Besides Mike wouldn't hurt a fly.I can understand you punish me but Mike doesn't deserve it!They've brutalized Mike for three weeks. They've pestered Luna since she arrived here.What did you do?"

"Be quiet Mr Whittemore.I won't stand for your insolence.I'm disgusted to have such an outright liars in Ravenclaw.I'm certain both of you will learn to behave Correct your demeanour Mr Corner or else I will ban you from the Quidditch team.I advise you to think properly before disturbing the peace and quiet of our school.Stay here Mr Whittemore. I'll floo your mother Mr Whittemore.She will collect you immediately.Go eat Mr Corner."

Holding back some tears,Michael realized he ended up facing up to the whole house of Ravenclaw alone.They were bound to flay him alive.Flitwick wrecked Michael's existence,overlooking troubles he put up with and taking his friends away from Michael.It was touched and go whether Jack would be expelled.Michael sighed in defeat.

A month had passed since Flitwick's harsh punishments.It had been a difficult period for Michael.His friend's absence caused him great anguish.In spite of Flitwick's desire to create a safe environment,the other Ravens kept molesting him such as hiding Michael's things or pouring some pigment draught in his gel which dyed his hair pink.Michael's mother often sent him a Howler,either for scolding him about his behaviour and the rascals he associate with or for cursing her son who brought disgrace on their family by being gay.She fumed he dated a psycho like Potter.At the Quidditch trainings,the other players ignored Michael except when necessary.Harry rebuffed him as though their kiss didn't mean anything.Teachers endlessly rebuked him or gave him bad marks.Plenty of pupils hounded him amid corridors.Michael avoided eating in the Great Hall where he was surrounded with leers and jeers.

Flitwick always glared at him whenever Michael bumped into him.The tiny professor accused him of monkeying around when he was covered in bruises or had black eyes. Flitwick reprimanded Michael if he tried to confide in him.Moreover,Flitwick had dressed him down the day he caught Michael attempting to stay in the Room of Requirement to sleep.He didn't wonder why Michael sheltered in the Come and Go room. It seemed his Head of House hated Michael. Jackson wrote every other day,which bolstered Michael's morale a bit.He was one of the rare kind person as well as Luna Lovegood.During Jackson's suspension, Michael and Luna formed an unlikely friendship,yet he didn't regret it.Luna was rather nice once you knew her.

Luna quite grew on him.Okay,Michael stepped out of his comfort zone whenever she spoke of her fanciful creatures like nargles but at least she didn't attack him. Michael had grasped quickly Luna's odd stories mustn't have been taken at face value.Luna was a seer which she concealed behind an airy personality.Besides,Luna had recommended him to consult Ms Kettlepond about his traumas.

Ms Kettlepond was the magical psychiatrist of Hogwarts.When Michael visited her,they drank posh tea,talked of loads of topics while Ms Kettlepond was scribbling down on a notebook.Sometimes they spent the whole seance in role-playing.Though he was reluctant at first,he began relaxing thanks to the shrink.Michael's confidence had really shot up.Plus,Ms Kettlepond taught him some breathing exercises Michael practised everyday.The more he unburdened himself to her,the more Michael toughen up.Luna and Ms Kettlepond probably saved his life.Michael seriously considered suicide because of his ordeals.Now he felt calmer.

If only Harry finished snubbing him.

Luna.POV.Around 7 AM

During a cold day of November,Luna whistled reading a book about fantastical creatures in Asia while Michael was washing after his routine jogging and working out. The last month had been pretty hectic,albeit Luna had gained her first friend since she studied in Hogwarts.Luna nervously fiddled with a quill.Jackson Whittemore returned that day.She feared that Michael abandoned her.Maybe Jackson didn't want to consort with her.Most of Ravenclaw students sneered at her or would prefer dying rather than chat to Luna.

Mike was adorable however his friends terrified her.Derek Hale was a real fiend. Luna didn't grasp how Michael tolerated him. Luna didn't confess it,still she regularly dreamed of the future.Luna already predicted Derek was scheming nefarious plans to spoil many lives.Isaac,Jackson and Michael included.Jackson waded into the Common room.Flitwick was behind him.As though somebody had just turned off a switch,the Ravenclaws stopped talking to stare at the newcomer.

Jackson was chewing gum,wearing a blue baseball cap backward,both hands in his pockets with not a care in the world.The Ravens mouthed some obscenities especially Terry Boot and Anthony Goldstein, Michael's dorm mates,were steaming mad.

"Well,Mr Whittemore.I hope your demeanour shall no longer damage Ravenclaw's image. Serve you of your brains.For good's sake, you're a Ravenclaw."Flitwick chided.Jackson shrugged it off."Miscreant!"

Flitwick stormed off looking furious. Nonfazed,Jackson blew bubbles of chewing gum.Without adding a word,Jackson headed for his dorm where he put away his stuff. Michael appeared.He grinned at Luna.She half-heartedly smiled back.Luna wasn't sure if their friendship mattered to him.The whole Common room remained frozen.As soon as Jackson came back,Michael flung his arms around Jackson's neck.They laughed hugging tightly each other.

Luna sighed.She guessed Mike didn't need her anymore.He would give her up.Luna refrained from comment.She dreaded to struggle with loneliness again.A few rogue tears flowed down Luna's cheeks until Jackson embraced her.He stunned her.

"Thanks Luna.You've supported my bro while I was away.Mike couldn't have cope without you.Friends?"Jackson said holding out his hand.

Luna wiped her tearful face then accepted the handshake."You...You wish to be my friends?"Luna queried eying Mike next Jackson.

"Of course.You were the only one who didn't nag Michael.Besides,he told me you've convinced him to see a shrink."

"Yeah.You saved my life,Luna.I feel good thanks to you.You're great and you never judge people.Obviously,we're friends."Mike asserted beaming.

They gave her a cuddle.The trio disregarded the mob as they heaped abuses on them. Luna radiated happiness.Jackson had just dispelled Luna's anxiety to get lonely.She encountered her second friends.Luna would never forget the bond that linked them. Maybe Hogwarts could began resembling a new home.She perceived Mike or Jackson would protect her and vice versa.Luna imagined she fit in,at last.

Jackson.POV

They went down to the Great Hall chitchating.Jackson was glad to met up with Mike.He missed the moron.Jackson tousled Mike's hair.Michael protested,complained then pouted when Jackson messed up his hair.Michael spent fifteen minutes a day to gel them.Each morning Michael irritated his dorm as he locked himself in the bathroom for forty minutes.He was your typical metrosexual.Sulking,Mike fixed his hairdo while Jackson and Luna chortled.

They sat in a corner of the table far away from their housemates.Jackson already took to Luna.She did relate tons of freaky stories about imaginary animals however she turned out to be witty and very clever. Michael relied on her,so Jackson agreed to make her acquaintance.After all Jackson, Luna and Mike were underdogs.He never approved how the Ravens treated Luna. Derek loathed her therefore he compeled their House to harass Luna.Flanked by the two boys,Luna couldn't be harmed.Jackson stuck his gum under the table gazing defiantly at the prefects who frowned.He didn't take off his cap either.

Jackson poured some milk in a bowl,helped himself of cornflakes before crunching an apple.Luna ate pieces of buttery toasts and jam then sipped a cup of Earl Grey tea.Mike gulped down a mug of black coffee.He was a caffein addict.Mike partook of a bowl of porridge,some fruits and two nature yogurts. Even the death glares they received couldn't corrode Jackson's happiness.He had gotten bored without Michael in the little town where he lived.Jackson's adoptive parents couldn't make up for his only friend's loss.

He resented Flitwick.Their phony Head of House purported to be fair,gentle or other nonsenses.For no reason at all Mike, Jackson,Isaac and Derek were his pet peeves.Actually,they incurred Flitwick's wrath since they stepped into this castle.The ugly dwarf probably hated for their origins.

"Great.We have Defense Against the Dark Arts first with the Pink Toad."Jackson groaned.

"Yeah.The worst is that we must share it with those bloody Puffs."Michael scowled. The Ravenclaws usually scorned the Hufflepuffs.

"The Badgers aren't that bad.I mean we could put up with the Slytherins."Luna interjected dreamily.

Jackson nodded."Yep,I guess so.That castle is a hovel.I don't understand why they accept Death eater's children here.Mind you,the old fool hired an ex Death eater,a fraud and a werewolf.Our safety isn't Dumbledork's priority.Most of our professors are douchebags or useless idiots or both.I don't even mention the runt."

"Wow.You're full of vim today.Feel like running around the grounds,Jack? "Michael asked peering at him with those seal eyes of his.

Jackson snorted. "No thank you.I remind you we've gotten classes.I prefer not to play hookey when I just returned."Jackson retorted.Mike pouted again.

"No offense but...Where are you from Jackson?I can't place your accent."Luna said peeling an orange.

"I live in Beacon Hills.It's a little place in the middle of nowhere in the States.Derek and Isaac come from here too."Jackson told her.

"Ah America.I've always wanted to discover its wildlife.I don't know much about the American Wizarding community.Are there any schools like Hogwarts in your country?"

"Sure.There are two schools by the way.Salem Academy is a girl's school. Ilvermorny was full.That's why I've enrolled in Hogwarts."

Jackson suspected it was the principal reason Flitwick didn't care for him.He must have loathed foreigners.He had realized the Wizarding Britain was quite narrow-minded.

Harry.POV

Harry was observing the trio across the Great Hall.The sight of them nauseated him.Harry was in paroxysms of jealousy. Michael and Jackson acted so couply.Okay he had avoided Mike for a month.He doubted Michael had noticed it while moping about Jackson's departure.Harry suspected Michael slept around,so he forced himself to shun Mike,although his undamp feeling didn't help it.Harry loved Michael even if he quite realized the Ravenclaw toyed with Harry's affection.Anthony Goldstein warned him that Michael deluded him into thinking he loved him.Hermione heard of stories that Michael was a bully and a fake.Ron's boyfriend,Terry Boot,described Harry's crush as a creep looking down on everybody.

Harry detested brutes,yet he couldn't refrain from longing to obtain Michael's attention. Harry averted his eyes when Hermione glowered at him.She prohibited him to see Mike.Ron was sitting on Terry Boot's lap while both of them binged on eggs and bacon.Boot wrapped an arm around Ron's stomach.Harry barely ate.Even though he distrusted Mike,Harry missed him.Everyone portrayed Mike as a nuisance.Rejecting Mike harrowed Harry but he didn't need a cheater. He had enough issues.Their first kiss lingered on his mind,though.

"Harry!Corner doesn't deserve you.Don't you understand he manipulates you?Corner only pretends to love you.It's just a ploy to get closer of you for being roughed up.Look who he picked as friends.A thief,a monster and a sly person."Hermione hissed.

Harry sighed ."I dunno Hermione.I can't forget him.Maybe he's candid.I mean he was pretty upset when I ignored him."

"Blimey Harry!Don't let that got deceives you. He goes out with Whittemore."Ron asserted revealing the contents of his mouth.

"Ron,you're gross.Don't speak with your mouth full."Hermione rebuked him."Frankly, Harry.Corner isn't trustworthy.Even Flitwick dislikes him."

As Michael was exiting the Great Hall,Harry dashed across it to join him.He overlooked Ron and Hermione calling him or students eying him up and down.Harry acted on a hunch then chased after the Raven.He needed to clear up Michael's puzzle.Harry spent hours on end ruminating over Michael.First,he was in a dreadful quandary about whether or not believe in his friends'words or trust Michael.Perhaps they misjudged him.Okay,he presumed Goldstein and Boot loathed Mike.They were biased. This whole situation befuddled him.

He joined the group."Hi Michael!"Harry greeted.

Mike grinned until Jackson pulled him aside before glowering at Harry.If looks killed Harry would have dropped dead.Jackson shoved brutally him on a wall.

"You have some gall!"Jackson snarled jabbing Harry repeatedly with a finger."Don't go near Mike again.You dumped him for a month.Now you dare turn up.Bastard!"

Jackson clutched Michael's arm then dragged him away.Luna followed them humming a song under her breath.Harry literally fled as students stared at him.He was sick and tired of being watched as though he belonged to a freak show.He did hear Malfoy scoffing.The truth had just emerged.Michael loved Jackson.He didn't grasp why Mike grinned.Did he mock?Harry boggled at the idea of chancing to flirt with Michael.He was probably as promiscuous as Harry's friends supposed.

Time flew during the rest of the day.Courses, talks were all a blur to Harry.He patiently endured Umbitch's provocations or Snape's snipings.Harry only focused on Michael's memories.This night Harry wandered the corridors of the school rather than stay in the Gryffindor Common room.He wasn't looking forward to assist at Ron and Terry Boot making out right in the middle of the Lions. Hermione huffed or rolled her eyes whenever he harped on at her about Mike. Harry had just visited Hedwig when he went out,he bumped into Michael.

He was wearing his Quidditch uniform and a Firebolt.Harry gasped.The blue of the outfit set off Michael's eyes beautifully.It saddened Harry to see the same broomstick Umbridge had confiscated or this outfit. Umbitch had banned the Twins and Harry of the Gryffindor Team because of Malfoy. Michael and Harry gazed at each other.A flicker of surprise flashed across Michael's face then he smiled in a shy way.

"Hi Michael."Harry greeted."What are you doing here?"

"I was just on my way back from practice. What do you wanna? "Michael explained self-consciously.

"Just discuss.Listen I'm sorry I avoided you.Lots of people prompts me to reject you.Mike you're rumoured to be a loose bully."Harry blurted out.

"It's what you think of me?"Michael asked on the verge of tears.It broke Harry's heart "Bye Harry."

Harry grasped Michael's arm."No.Sorry.I made a blunder.Again."Harry apologized. "Your friend Anthony Goldstein claims you're a whore-man."

"He's lying.We're not friends for a start. Goldstein is the biggest fibber ever.I've never had a boyfriend.I had my first kiss with you Harry.I swear."Michael asserted.

"And Whittemore?"Harry questioned.He didn't manage to quell his jealousy for not showing.

"Jackson is like a big brother for me.He protects me.Believe me we're just friends. There is no ambiguity between us.I promise."

Michael's response immediately solaced Harry.Despite all what happened during the last month,he chose to trust Michael.He had wasted a month because of overprotective friends and a git like Goldstein.They were wrong.Gnawed by remorse,Harry resented his own stupidity.He shouldn't have believed their drivel

"Okay.I trust you.I can't stop thinking of you.I think I love you.I..."

Michael didn't let him speak.Instead,he cupped his hands around Harry's head, raised it and snogged him.

Mike broke the kiss."Love you too.Boyfriends? "

Harry smirked"Yeah.Boyfriends."

They kissed again groping each other, oblivious of the crowd surrounding them.The two new lovers relished this moment.At last, they were dating,though they hardly knew each other.With the gift of hindsight,Harry understood enduring so many difficulties ended up bringing them closer.

Among the mob, reactions differed quite considerably.Hermione beamed.She had overheard their discussion by sneaking out of the Gryffindor Tower then following Harry. He was so accident-prone.She had to watch him.Hermione decided to give Corner the benefit of doubt.Maybe he did love Harry.

Draco Malfoy was livid.He never confessed it but he had became infatuated with Harry since their first encounter at Madam Malkin's Robes for All occasions.Draco kept belittling or fighting Potter in a fit of pique.Potter preferred hanging out with a Weasley and a Know-it-all.Now he picked a blasted Ravenclaw.Gnashing his teeth,Draco promised himself to make their lives a living hell.Corner was a dead man.Who did he think he was?Potter was HIS.

Anthony Goldstein growled.Potter impaired his chances to date Michael.He knew Michael had a stupid crush on Harry Potter. Goldstein couldn't allow Potter to corrupt his mild Michael.He had hoped Michael realized Potter wasn't worth him.Goldstein stormed up to the Ravenclaw Tower.He failed to poison Potter against Michael.Plus,Jackson Whittemore returned.How he was supposed to leave Michael isolated?He only desired to cherish Mike.Goldstein planned to handle Potter's problem,even if it meant to get rid of Potter.

Chapter Text

Three hours later.Jackson.POV

Jackson was stumping into the dorm room when he saw them.

Michael and Potter were sound asleep and muffled up in Michael's bed under a blanket. Gritting his teeth,Jackson swore to have a long chat with Potter the day after.Jackson sprawled on his bed.The detention with Flitwick had exhausted him.He had no energy left to quarrel.Jackson was pretty sure Potter counterfeited some affections to deceive Mike,which didn't amaze him much.The Freak-who-lived knew how brainwashed people.Frazzled,Jackson dropped off.

The following day,Mike shook him awake as per usual.Grousing,Jackson pushed him back roughly.Michael landed rather heavily on the floor.Jackson was Not in the fucking mood for jogging!He ignored Michael's pleas or baby seal eyes.Jackson didn't feel like humoring the jock.Michael abandoned eventually.Jackson fell asleep again,at least he tried.He blamed himself for upsetting Mike.Whatever.Potter would replace him readily.Jackson dozed off even if he quite dreaded to lose his only friend.

Jackson waked up when the alarm rung. Yawning,Jackson rose up,picked some clothes then made a beeline for the bathroom.He shuffled amid the absolute mayhem created by the other Ravens.In the Common room Mike,Luna and Potter were yaking.Great.He had to endure the Golden boy at breakfast.Jackson purposely banged the door of the bathroom open then slammed it close.Potter wormed his way into Mike's affections,next manipulated Luna. Jackson wasn't guileless.Potter misled them but Jackson would hamper what he was scheming.He didn't deserve Mike.The moron would soon grasp Potter's game.

Draco.POV

Meanwhile in a Slytherin dorm,Draco was on the warpath.He couldn't stomach the idea of losing Harry Potter again.He yearned to bring Corner down a peg or two.For the moment Draco waited patiently while his sidekicks were getting ready...Cough he meant his friends cough.The Snakes feared to face the whole school.Most of the students and professors loathed them especially the Gryffindorks.The self-proclaimed Prince of Slytherin mentally railed against Corner since he got up.

That stupid Ravenclaw dared to seduce then kiss HIS Harry.The pathetic egghead would pay for this.In his opinions,the Ravenclaw House was only composed of pathetic bookworms.Draco scorned that lot, particularly as they always censured the Slytherins whereas they were rumoured to be clever.Their happy-go-lucky Head of House irked Draco.People overestimated Ravenclaws.The Pureblood balled his fists. First a Weasel and a bushy girl as friends, then a brutish idiot as a boyfriend...Harry didn't know all the right people.Those losers tainted Harry's reputation.Granger,Corner, Weasel and the Gryffindorks on the whole couldn't have appreciated such a gem.Draco doted on Harry so much so he refused to let Corner rob him of his future husband.

"Hello Draco."Pansy purred which startled Draco.He didn't hear the bint.He barely abstained from flinching away in disgust when she touched him."It's time to have breakfast."

"Sure.I'm starving."Draco said."Potter's got a boyfriend.I saw them yesterday.They were snogging like two unashamed Mudbloods."

Pansy scrunched up her butt ugly dog like face."Those Half-Bloods don't have a sense of decorum.I hope the Dark Lord will win fast."

Draco's parents obliged him to pretend being straight and dating Pansy in consequence. They set high standards for their heir,which didn't include homosexuality.Draco kissed Pansy,mentally wincing at the mere contact.Blaise,Theo and the imbeciles appeared for his greatest pleasure... Sorry he meant Crabbe and Goyle.They exited the Slytherin Common room entering the enemy's zone.

Draco dismissed all leers they received from the three other houses.He ambled through the corridors then the Hall feigning arrogance.Draco snapped as he caught sight of Corner and Harry holding hands in public no less.Corner wouldn't get away with it. Draco waved his wand at the interloper then whispered"Levicorpus"Draco didn't notice McGonagall glowering at him too focused on Corner's humiliation.

The hex lifted up Corner as though an invisible force grabbed his ankles making Corner's underwear show.Hanging upside down in the air,he squeaked and fidgeted restlessly.Potter attempted to help him to little avail.All students sniggered apart from the blond girl behind the couple.Draco was gloating.The damned poser should learn Draco wasn't someone you exasperate. McGonagall gave him scathing looks.

"Mr Malfoy!Fifty points from Slytherin.You'll serve two months' detention with me.I insist you release Mr Corner here and there or you'll be expelled of Hogwarts.You'll follow me in the Headmaster's office afterwards." The Lioness snapped.

Draco cursed.He wasn't sly enough.He cancelled the spell as Harry flickered him sharp death glares.Corner thudded by collapsing.Draco noticed with glee Corner was shaking and wailing.McGonagall clutched him by the arm to drag him away. He couldn't care less of any possible consequences.The old fool didn't impress him.He had accomplished the first step of his vengeance.

Anthony Goldstein.POV

In the midst of the joyful crowd,Anthony Goldstein was torn between fury and a malicious pleasure.He was still fuming Malfoy had just attacked Michael besides Potter went out with him.Anthony loathed Potter.Only Goldstein was entitled to become Michael's boyfriend not this liar.He would use any means to wreck their relationship.On the other hand,Goldstein learned a pleasant jinx he could use for achieving his objectives thanks to that stupid Malfoy.

Goldstein observed the scene with a growing smirk.If he ever cast Levicorpus on Loony Lovegood,Whittemore or whoever Goldstein detested they would accuse Malfoy. Goldstein killed two birds that way.He tortured enemies and smeared Malfoy's reputation further.The boy lacked of subtlety.McGonagall or Dumbledore would expel Malfoy if he turned lucky.Moreover Goldstein had ogled Michael's fine body.The slimy snake mishandled this situation.He should have aimed at Potter instead of Mike. First Goldstein had to read up on Levicorpus before launching the offensive.Goldstein needed a plan.He would wait and see.Failure wasn't an option.

Grinning wickedly,he left the duo in their trials.

Earlier.Michael.POV

This morning,Michael was blissfully glad when he awoke.He got a boyfriend,Jackson his brother in all but blood had returned and the latter accepted Luna.They formed a new group during Derek's absence.For the first time in two months Michael felt safe.His marks got better,plus the Ravenclaws as well as Flitwick didn't bother him much. Beaming he rose without waking up Harry. Michael spotted quickly his favorite tracksuit,put it on then rushed to awake Jackson.Michael was ecstatic.

For a month he had worked out on his own because of Jackson's suspension.Obviously, Michael knew Jackson wasn't overfond of sport but he enjoyed spending this unique moment with him.He wouldn't choose another person even Harry.They always talked which the two friends barely managed during the rest of the day between classes, revisions and readings.The Ravenclaws were expected to live in the library.Pince forced them to shut up.Michael missed Jackson so much.He intended to make up for lost time.However,Jackson pricked Michael's bubble.

Not only did he shove Michael out of his bed but Jackson also ignored him in the Common room or the corridors.Jackson's rejection negated all his efforts to recover from numerous traumas between his past life and years at Hogwarts,especially the reign of terror of Derek.Michael counted on his best friend.He had trained and jogged alone.After the routine sport then a long shower,Michael imagined Jackson stopped rebuffed him.Yet,Jackson passed Michael without speaking or even acknowledging him.Before breakfast Michael waited him accompanied by Harry and Luna.Instead of joining them,Jackson thrust his hands in his pockets then shrugged when Michael smiled at him next he quit the Ravenclaw Tower overlooking Michael or Luna.Michael feared to lose Jackson.He doubted Jackson still considered him a friend.Perhaps he was jealous of his relationship with Harry. Michael began regretting it.He should have asked Jackson's opinion first.Michael needed him as much as,if not more so than Harry.

Michael's conscience niggled him.He messed up.Though Michael blinked his tears away,he burst into tears twice.The first time was during his jogging and the last one in the shower.He gained the impression that he failed Jackson.Since that morning Michael sunk into despair which explained he broke down owing to Malfoy's prank.

Michael howled in fright as the curse clutched his feet impeling him to levitate upside down high up above the crowd.The Ravenclaw teen flailed about,yelled trying to escape while the students were scoffing at him like hyenas.Michael's humiliation grew as he began spinning,which revealed his rugby ball pattern boxers.Harry attempted to get him to lift off vainly.The ordeal finished when McGonagall saved him.Michael collapsed head first into the floor.He sheltered huddling the further away from mocker students.Michael wrapped his arms around himself as he was quavering all over until Harry embraced him tightly.Michael sobbed against Harry's shoulder. McGonagall dispersed the pupils then Harry started herding him to the Hospital wing.The fall had broken Michael's nose.

Michael was in a haze so much so he didn't notice it.All students snickered raucously. Pomfrey healed Michael as Harry and Luna stayed beside him contrary to Jackson who neglected him.Michael betrayed him.He was reaping consequences from now on.

Luna.POV

Luna was comforting Michael with Harry. Michael looked an emotional wreck owing to a fake.Jackson cloyed her.No matter what he thought of Harry he should have supported Mike.This jerk maddened the soft girl.Luna didn't understand how Jackson could treat his best friend like this.Michael adored him,though.During the two last weeks Luna had noted that Michael brightened whenever Jackson sent a letter.He kept mentioning Jackson amid their conversations even as he was dating Harry.It was clear Michael cared for Jackson.

Michael regressed to his conditions before the therapy because of Jackson and Malfoy.That creep quite belittled Michael in front of packs of jackals swarming round Hogwarts,which didn't amaze her anymore.The school always produced evil since Salazar Slytherin had left Hogwarts.Of course,Luna grasped envy blurred Jackson's judgement but this didn't excuse it.While Michael got embroiled with Harry,their friendship still mattered a lot.Luna sensed Michael felt guilty on account of the link Harry and him shared.Mike could dump Harry for not alienating Jackson.

Luna had to intervene.She already foresaw Harry and Michael were some kinds of predestined mates.Besides Luna's gift implied that they would never find happiness if ever Michael or Jackson grew apart,which neither of them wanted.Pomfrey insisted that Mike remained in the Hospital wing. Harry and Luna left the premises before splitting off when they reached their destination.Luna figured Harry needed to clear up some stuff with his friends.In the Great Hall plenty of students gibed,booed and sneered at her while Luna was crossing the room to confront Jackson.

She located the so called buddy in the middle of the Ravenclaw table having a breakfast as easy as hell.That view revolted Luna.She hadn't endeavored to uplift Michael's spirits for two weeks for allowing Jackson to ruin three existences:Mike,Harry and his.

Jackson.POV

"Are you proud of you?"Luna asked dryly, which startled Jackson."You spoiled everything.I can't believe you claim to care about Michael.Actually..."

"What are you talking about?"Jackson interrupted her.The whimsical girl was glowering.Jackson sighed."What's your problem?"

"My problem is you Jackson.Do you know Michael has only spoken of you this morning or during your absence?He was so delighted at the idea of passing an instant with you. Considering you're his best friend I expected you to jump at the chance.He needs you and you dropped him like Derek!Whatever you think about their relationship you must be present for him!Idiot!"Luna snapped poking at him.

"So what?I hate sport.I don't gonna apologize just for sleeping.Potter took my place.He'll get over it."Jackson retorted feigning indifference.

"Miss Lovegood.What's the meaning of this?" An oily voice belonging to the Pink Toad Umbridge said.

"Just a nice chat with my friend."Luna lied.

Umbridge glanced between Jackson and Luna."I won't let you disturb the meal of the students.I deduct fifty points from Ravenclaw and you'll serve a week's detention with me."Umbridge decided, smirking.

Jackson winced as the evil misshapen Barbie hurried away to join the staff table.After shooting him telltale glares Luna went off to annoy somebody else like Michael.Jackson wagered both of them were in the Gryffindor table kissing or worshipping Potter.Mike abandoned his mundane friend. Jackson shrugged before eating again, though he barely choked the anger rolling off him.

First Potter seduced Mike then he convinced him to repudiate Jackson.Typical.Bitter, Jackson realized his departure gave free reins to Mike to fall into Potter's clutches via Lovegood.The fey girl hit it off with the maniac.Luna had some nerve to heap reproaches on Jackson.Besides,the students were peering at him because of that tedious girl.

Jackson bolted down a second bowl of cereals,took his shoulder bag then almost fled the Great Hall.He zipped through the moving stairs and corridors until he barged into Flitwick's classroom.He slumped into the nearest chair.The 5th Ravenclaw had two periods of charms,next they endured Umbridge in a double DADA on Wednesday morning.Jackson set his wand,quill,book and inkstand in front of him waiting the others.Flitwick was smiling when he came in until he noticed Jackson.They stared at each other.Flitwick frowned then disregarded his student in favor of preparing the lesson. Jackson rolled his eyes.

The phony dwarf appeared so freaky. Jackson very nearly burst out laughing as Flitwick climbed up a stack of books for writing instructions on the board.The Ravens arrived.Panicking Jackson realized Mike wasn't among them.Mike didn't get into the habit of practicing truancy.Mike's absence seemed ominous.He never played hookey since they enrolled in Hogwarts,so Jackson guessed something bad had transpired since they left the Tower.It make sense Mike didn't eat in the Great Hall.Jackson only thought Mike shunned him.Perhaps Mike had troubles.Luna walked past Jackson.He seized his arm.

"What's going on?I don't see Mike anywhere. Is he okay?"Jackson whispered.

Jackson let her go.Luna scowled."Like you care."Luna hissed before moving away.

Gnawed by remorse,Jackson kept musing over the past hours not paying attention to Flitwick's lecture.He abandoned Michael due to his petty jealousy.He hoped they permit him to redeem himself.Despite the resentment he felt for Potter Jackson shouldn't have rejected Mike.His friend counted on him.

Diverse POV

Luna sensed Jackson felt sadness,concern as well as guilt.She beamed.The fool comprehended he needed Michael like the Irish boy needed him at last.Jackson was the first real friend Michael encountered. Derek served of them.Isaac worshipped Derek who compeled him to hang out with Mike and Jackson even though Isaac scorned them.Luna had the hunch Jackson could assist Mike recovering from years of abuse.Mike didn't tie to a hypocrite.At the end of the day Jackson adored Michael.He should learn to share him.

Plus,Luna predicted that a bigger danger than Voldemort was lurking.Arceus struggled to protect them.Luna was aware that the creator of the Multiverses Arceus oversaw billions of worlds,most of whom didn't even know it existed.The Lovegoods regularly prayed to Arceus.The ignorant wizards and witches ridiculed them because of their faith.Luna received many gifts from the god such as empathy,seer powers, foresight in return.Luna placed reliance on Arceus contrary to the incredulous mob.One day they would understand.For the meantime Luna patiently bore their vicious remarks.

At the table behind Jackson,Anthony Goldstein was gloating.The rift between Michael and Whittemore made things easier for him.He couldn't care less of Flitwick's lesson.Seeing that Mike grieved for his friend's loss,Anthony was about to bridge the gap.Hey,Anthony had a heart!Poor Michael.The situation demoralized him.If Goldstein supported him he would influence him to ditch Potter or Loony Lovegood.

The girl embarrassed the Ravenclaw House.She threw a fit amid the Great Hall. Who did she think she was?A Gryffindork?Goldstein loathed nutcases like that freak.He would handle Lovegood's problem once he dated Michael.He got rid of Potter to begin with.

Suspended!Draco was seething. Dumbledore and that blasted McGonagall had the gall to suspend the Malfoy heir. Draco only put Corner in his place.Harry Potter was his future husband.Stupid Gryffindork.Potter cheated on him with a damned Ravenclaw boy.Draco was suspended a month then he would serve two months' detention.It wasn't over.Corner would pay for this.

Draco delighted in remembering Corner's humilation while waiting his mother to pick him up in the Headmaster's office.The Old goat was savoring some ludicrous Muggle candies.Dumbledork radiated confidence as though he disregarded the fact that the Dark Lord overpowered the old codger.Draco balled his fists.He didn't admit in any case defeat.He definitely suffered a setback but he planned to avenge himself.Corner would rue the day he challenged Draco.Even Dumbledore or McGonagall couldn't prevent this project.

Hermione was engrossed in a book while waiting the Arithmancy professor.Still, Hermione read the lines with unseeing eyes.Her mind focused on Corner.No Michael.She presumed she should call him by his first name if he became Harry's boyfriend.Hermione had been horrified observing what Michael went through in public.Besides herds of students had snickered at him,which repulsed her. Hermione abhorred Malfoy.He was a bigot looking down on everybody else.That monster always persecuted her friends.The daddy's son deserved loads of whacks. Hermione suspected Malfoy concealed some ulterior motives.Harry obsessed him.Now Malfoy assaulted students he hardly knew,even Ron who wasn't Michael's biggest fan pitied him.

It shamed her to recognize she was wrong. Despite all the muscles Michael seemed pretty frail,so Hermione began revising her opinion of the Ravenclaw boy.He didn't resemble a flirt.Hermione bit her lip.She didn't like feeling as confused.She usually didn't pay attention to gossip yet Hermione distrusted Michael.She abstained from judging Harry's relationship before talking to the couple. Hermione hoped Harry didn't get ensnared by an imposter.Harry had suffered enough in the past.Maybe she misjudged Michael.

Jackson was scarcely listening Flitwick's lesson as his mind wandered back to Michael.He was wondering whether Michael was injured.Jackson had exaggerated treating him like this.He felt nothing but hatred for Potter which blinded him.The poser duped Michael,still Jackson should have swallowed his pride to assist Mike even if it meant to put up with Potter or the torture Mike dubbed "fitness" in behalf of his friend.Jackson sighed.He quite overdid indeed.Flitwick was droning on and on about a complicated spell he taught to the 5th year Ravenclaw for a week.Jackson dozed until the end of Charms.The dwarf didn't notice it.

Guilt-ridden,Jackson zapped out of the class to track down Mike,oblivious of Luna tagging behind him.Though he scanned the corridors,peered the hordes of students passing him or questioned the paintings; Jackson didn't find out where Mike was.For an instant he had hoped Mike was sulking. Luna cleared her throat.Once again she startled him.

"You'll find Michael in the Hospital wing." Luna informed him.

"In the Hospital wing?!Are you kidding?!" Jackson blurted then seeing Luna's expression corrected himself."What happened?Tell me the simple truth?"

"Malfoy attacked Michael before breakfast. He put a hex on him.Michael got lifted upside down by his ankles above hundreds of students.We all glimpsed his underwear, too.McGonagall ordered Malfoy to release Mike.He fell down head first and broke his nose in the process.Harry brought him to the Hospital wing.The fall had broken Michael's nose."Luna explained.

Jackson growled.That scumbag...Without thinking,Jackson scurried for the Hospital wing.Luna observed him approvingly.He couldn't care less he skipped Umbridge's class.Anyway they never learn important stuff.The Pink Toad only croaked some Ministry propaganda.Jackson barged into the Hospital wing even though he dreaded to annoy Ms Pomfrey.The infamous matron was nowhere to be found.Jackson tiptoed around for fear of alerting Pomphrey.Mike was lying down in bed.He beamed when their eyes met.

"Jackson!You came!"Michael cried out grinning like the Cheshire cat."I believed you've been avoiding me.I'm so sorry I should..."

Jackson cut him off."No.You're not in fault.I got carried away by my jealousy 'cause Potter replaces me.I don't wanna upset you.It's just I can't keep my temper.Do you pardon me?"

Michael hugged Jackson almost smothering him rather than answer.He wept while Jackson was tapping him on the back in support.Jackson forgot how much Michael depended on him.Mike didn't hold a grudge against Jackson,which didn't make him feel better for his own actions.Certainly,he objected to Michael going out with Potter but he couldn't give up Mike.Derek and Isaac betrayed Mike,so he had only Jackson as a friend since most of their House hated their guts due to Derek.The mutt only wrecked lives whenever he roamed.

Michael and Jackson were embracing each other until Pomfrey flew at them,yelled then pulled them apart before impeling Mike to lie down.Pomfrey very nearly tied Mike to his bed when he began fidgeting.She allowed Jackson to stay on condition that he didn't touch her patient.Jackson nodded in panic.He knew better than defy her.Jackson sprawled in a chair beside Michael.The two friends talked under Pomfrey's surveillance, which pepped them up.Jackson quite missed Mike trapped in Beacon Hills.

Both of them didn't catch glimpse of three people watching them as the Hospital wing's door stood ajar.The Golden Trio aka Harry, Ron and Hermione was spying on them.A surge of jealousy flitted across Harry's face. He didn't like the dubious closeness of the two Ravens.Harry suspected Whittemore hung round Mike.They were too touchy-feely for his liking.Plus,Mike couldn't stop speaking about Whittemore.The bloody thief fascinated Michael.Their responsive interplays worried him.Plenty of people advised him to mistrust Mike.Harry probably should have listened to them.

Ron Weasley.POV

Ron groused.How dare he!Corner wanted bashing.That jackass cheated on Harry.Ron had been right.The bloke muck up Harry's life.All right,Ron admitted Whittemore was very handsome but Corner convinced Harry he loved him.Basically,Corner manipulated Harry.Ron bet the sluttish Ravenclaw owned a harem.Ron was about to go on the rampage when Hermione pushed Harry and Ron in.Corner waved at Harry beaming.What the hell?!

Jackson stiffened then shot daggers at Harry.The latter was glowering at him.A leaden silence fell between them.Corner attempted to kiss Harry before Harry stepped back.The delusional guy didn't deceive them anymore unless Corner seeked a threesome.Ron wrinkled his nose in disgust.Terry warned him that Derek's gang lacked had no morals.Well,Corner would regret breaking Harry's heart.

Frankly Harry didn't need let alone deserve it between You-know-who,Dumbledore's schemes Umbitch and Ginny stalking him. Harry never rested.The Old crook considered him a mere pawn of a giant chessboard Dumbledork called the war.Ron knew the perverse goat used his followers for his own ends.The Greater Good nonsenses didn't trick Ron,neither the Twins for that matter. You-Know-who didn't care for his lackeys. Ron wouldn't be amazed if he found out Dumbyface and Snakeman were lovers.Ron never admired nor respected Dumbledore contrary to his mother.

In brief,Corner proved to be as disloyal Ron accused him.Ron sighed.Harry had no luck.

"What's going on Michael?I believed you loved Harry.Are you the kind of guy who plays with people's affection?"Hermione queried beating her two prickly friends.

"Don't talk rubbish! The one who plays with Mike's affections is your precious Scarface. The Freak-who-lived thinks he can't get away with anything.It's not the case!Jerk!"Jackson snarled his nostrils flaring.

Ron saw out of the corner of his eye Hermione flinched because of the word "freak".He lost his composure.

"Shut up your trap!We'll do without your point of view!Thief!So walk the hell out of here. This is a private conversation between us and this liar.You've gotta return to your dorm.Surely you'll find a few objects you can steal.You're just a home wrecker and a thug.You never stop,do you?!"Ron barked.

This comment only stoked up Whittemore's anger.The Ravenclaw lunged at Ron until Corner grabbed his arms.Witnessing it first hand knocked out the air of Ron.They didn't hide it anymore.Breathing heavily Jackson cast full of hate looks between Ron and Harry.The ginger boy would teach them a lesson or two.Nobody deceived Harry without harvesting some hard consequences.

"I'd better be leaving.Bye Michael.Have fun with your lover."Harry said dejectedly.

"Stay Harry.Please.Jackson is my best friend.I told you he's like a big brother for me.Don't dump me!I love you."Michael pleaded

Pomfrey stormed in before kicking out the three friends.Ron and Jackson growled at each other.Hermione huffed when they left the Hospital wing while the duo acted couply.Ron already prepared to support Harry on the premise that Corner fooled him. Ron definitely felt sorry for Harry.Poor guy.He couldn't find a little peace and quiet. Ron swore to avenge Harry.Those two traitors were long overdue a fair retaliation.

A few months later.Harry.POV

Despite the numerous clashes between Ron and Jackson things ended up clarifying between Harry and Michael.They long discussed of many topics far away from their housemates.Harry learned that Derek forced Jackson to steal the boy he loved just for fun.Hermione confessed Derek had misinformed her for believing horrors about Mike.This was Derek Hale who made up stories then prompted students to convey them around Hogwarts to humiliate Mike, such as his supposed promiscuity.The git even obliged the Ravenclaws to pick on Michael.Only Jackson and Luna displayed kindness.In these conditions,Harry couldn't resent Mike adored Jackson.Harry didn't throw a fit whenever Mike hugged Jackson.

Harry knew Mike had suffered for years between an abusive father,an aloof mother, bullies and wannabe friends like Derek. Jackson only humored him by accepting hugs.Both Ravenclaw teens had a strong link,which didn't jeopardize Harry and Michael's future.The couple got closer.Their bond never weakened in spite of Malfoy's plots.

Derek's return caused Mike,Jackson and Luna to move into the Gryffindor Tower.Of course,they didn't feel safe around their tormentor.McGonagall arranged two special rooms for the Ravens.Jackson often argued with Ron but they grew on each other quickly.Much to Harry's surprise they formed an unholy friendship.Both of them tended to be a bit divas.As for Harry,Jackson tolerated him.Harry doubted they became friends a day.Terry Boot slept in Ron's bed since they started dating.Mike hadn't took the plunge yet.Their tricky relationship strengthened as they were gradually trusting each other.

Michael astounded Harry that he showed great deal of interest in him.Michael was so gorgeous,nice,funny,cute...Harry felt honored to attract his attention.Even though Derek tried and failed to make them break up,they resisted to the pressure.Harry introduced Mike to Sirius.His godfather approved Michael after threatening to maim him if he cheated on Harry.Eventually,Derek got expelled of Hogwarts for kicking Flitwick in the head in the Great Hall,which satisfied all the Ravenclaws.Isaac Lahey included.

End of Flashbacks.

Back to present time.In a city park,the couple smiled when they got a jump on themselves.Michael and Harry relished this moment.Both had pined away in the absence of their lover.Luckily,common sense had prevailed,otherwise they wouldn't be dating.Besides Mike understood him better than anyone else.Michael kissed Harry.Harry fondled his boyfriend.Mike chuckled.Harry smirked.Mike whispered him some sweet nothings.Harry blushed then mirrored Mike's action.Mike flushed.Both teens was beaming.The world around them vanished as they were snuggling to each other.

The Dursleys were adorable but they couldn't replace Mike.The lovers were reunited at last.

Chapter Text

The Burrow.Ginny POV

Meanwhile,Ginny was scheming nefarious projects.The redhead loathed her family lived in squalor.A princess didn't deserve it. Ginny got bored.

Obviously,she passed her precious time burning bugs or squirrel in the back yard imagining Corner as a victim of the Fiendfyre curse.Besides Ginny gloated torturing birds just for fun.She was ecstatic her pitiful family never took notice.The Mudblood Granger tainted the kitchen with those broods of filthy Halfbloods anyway.Ginny resented her so called kins.She didn't care for those blood traitors.Beaming,Ginny opened her notebook again.The younger Weasley drew a picture of Corner then pierced holes through the paper with a quill chortling madly.Nobody stole her fated husband without dying.

Then she got a new idea.Ginny would throttle Molly in her sleep and had Arthur accused.The younger Weasley rehearsed for two weeks what she was going to do for playing the role of the tearful daughter,she would handle Ronald's issue afterwards.He had the gall to invite his whore Terry Boot in Ginny's house!Did he believe Ginny tolerated that abnormality?Besides,Ron compeled her majesty to assist at their frolics.They had no morals all of them,particularly Ginny's parents wannabes.They agreed with Ron's perversity.Ginny scrunched up her face. George also belittled their Purebloods'image being gay.Ginny detested those pests.Well, Ginny presumed she should pardon them. The Burrow would soon be littered with their corpses.

Smiling,Ginny wrote:"I'll offer to Boot a nice cuppa spiked with love potion.He'll fall in love with a girl of my choice then he'll dump Ronald letting him heartbroken.I'll cast the Imperius curse at Ron and oblige him to kill Boot because of his jealousy.My dear brother is hot-headed.Poor Ron can't recover from Boot's betrayal.The Aurors will throw him into jail.The Wizarding world will revile Ron.Guilt-ridden,Ron will kill himself of despair and shame.In point of fact I'll force him to do so."

Ginny giggled.What a tragedy! She was impatient to see Ron slaughtering Boot. Those disgusting freaks cloyed her.Of course,Ginny didn't notice she was still watched.

Snape.POV

Severus Snape was observing the Weasley girl for half an hour.He was getting more and more appalled by Ginny's actions or thoughts.In spite of her weak occlumency walls(Where the hell did she learn such a thing?)Snape listened all what she was plotting.He got bad vibes from her since Ginny's first day at Hogwarts.After all she did release the Basilisk of the Chamber of the Secret.Snape didn't buy into her facade one second.The girl belonged to Bellatrix Lestrange's kind,soulless girls or women ready to murder mass of people for achieving their ends.He almost recoiled in horror while peering at the scene.

After sneaking up the stairs behind Ginny,the sullen professor had cast a spell that he turned him invisible,which permitted him to keep an eye on the girl.That little scoundrel was definitely dangerous.Ginny could vie with the Dark Lord for foulness and Dolores Umbridge for lunacy.Snape had to inform Dumbledore.He couldn't help but shiver at the idea of the witch joining Voldemort's side.Snape foresaw that she would be nuisance.Sighing,Snape crept away to meet McGonagall again.Ginny's ideas upset him so much so he didn't touch the food Molly Weasley was serving.The girl perfectly veiled her real nature.Snape went nervous.Lilly's son faced up to a new psychopath.

Consequently,his mission to protect Potter became trickier.Whatever.Snape would endeavor to thwart Ginny's plans.

Beacon Hills.Jackson.POV

Around 11 PM in a small town of California, Jackson yawned.He had just completed an essay on the Dementors after writing down another essay on the Inferis.The future DADA(Defense Against the Dark Arts) professor seemed skilled for a change.Jackson endlessly devoured all the books 6th year students had to buy.His parents had taken him to the Wizarding mall of Los Angeles three weeks before.Jackson had purchased all his school stationery,plus many extra books he read avidly.Jackson seldom went out for fear of bumping into Derek or Isaac.They resided in Beacon Hills too.

The prospect of facing up to Derek quite rattled Jackson.Derek might have powdered him or buried him alive if he chanced on Jackson.The werewolf already promised to liquidate his former friends.In consequence, Jackson balked the forest where Hale often loitered.Jackson's vacations turned studious except for when he passed times with his lover or family.He only ignored risks of encountering Derek when he rushed to the grocery store if he lacked of gums and snacks.In that case,Jackson scurried for the store in driving the fancy sports car his parents bought him for his birthday.

Flashback

Well,the summer break gifted Jackson a boyfriend,Scott McCall.They met as Jackson stood in a grocery till waiting in the long line. Jackson had sidled out of the Whittemore's home to not alert his parents.They had grounded him two weeks after they surprised him smoking a cigarette.Anyway, Jackson hated it.In the store,Jackson clutched plenty of cans of sodas.He needed his sugar fix for revisions.When he very nearly dropped a can of Sprite a hand caught it just in time.Jackson gaped as he peeked at the owner of said hand.The dude in his late teens quite turned him on.Jackson blushed when the hottie obstructed his passage before introducing himself as Scott McCall. The taller teen existed the store holding Jackson's cans.Both settled in an abandoned house.They talked for hours drinking sodas.

End of Flashback

Jackson felt so aroused and thrilled whenever he enjoyed some instants with Scott.He even consented to be Scott's mate. You see Scott McCall was a werewolf,he needed a mate.His wolf chose Jackson.At first Jackson panicked remembering of Derek but Scott proved him wrong fast. Derek's abhorrent behavior didn't typify werewolves.Besides,Scott revealed Derek belonged to a rival pack.Scott and Jackson opened up to each other without delay.Scott cheered up Jackson when he felt down in the dumps.The effusive teen always cracked some jokes,flirted with him and massaged him,which appealed to Jackson a lot.He became very fond of Scott thanks to these numerous tokens of love.Scott rapidly claimed Jackson without changing him.The two teens created a lifelong bond.Jackson had a mark around his shoulder blades for proving it.

As such,Scott kept protecting Jackson.Once the scrappy teen had roughed up Isaac when he saw him coming near Jackson.Scott turned out to be kinda overprotective. Jackson quickly realized he would be the submissive.The fact never punctured his pride.Jackson adored feeling safe as he sat on Scott's lap or every time Scott stretched out on his back.If his parents were away on business or while they were sleeping,Scott sneaked in Jackson's room.If his parents entered his room when they got raucous, Jackson pretented to study after flinging Scott under his bed.Jackson didn't think they would agree with him spending night with Scott.Nor he mated with a werewolf for that matter.

The days Jackson's parents left faraway, Scott stayed at his place.They wallowed in the Whittemore's jacuzzi for hours,romped about and played video games.They never splitted off.Scott became Jackson's anchor in life.As though they shut themselves in a bubble,both overlooked the world around them as soon as they got closer.On the other hand,they depressed of being away from each other.Jackson boggled to return Hogwarts.He needed Scott.His mate was a Muggle he couldn't access to the school.

Someone gave three knocks to the door. Jackson hurled the book he was perusing then ran down the stairs.Grinning he opened the door.Scott had just arrived.His mate held out a bunch of flowers to him.Jackson blushed.Squirming he managed to smile even if he quite felt offended.After all,he wasn't a girl.Scott winked at him nonfazed by Jackson's embarrassment as per usual.

"I picked them in my neighbor's garden.I hope you like them.I didn't know what to offer you,babe."Scott told him brazenly.

"Okay."Jackson whispered recovering his shock.

Jackson let him in.His parents had gone for the weekend.Jackson didn't comment further.It was useless.Scott never listened to him as if he was bond to a Gryffindor. Jackson set the bouquet on a table.He beamed when he noticed Scott brought a bag.He was looking forward to spend two days in couple.Scott threw the bag at his feet,then pined Jackson against a wall.They kissed.Jackson chuckled in pleasure as Scott began groping him.Jackson stroked Scott's hair.Jackson banged the entrance door shut.Indulging their passion they hurried to join Jackson's room.Both unzipped the jeans of the other next lay down.

Smirking they admired each other.Jackson flushed as Scott purred him some sweet nothings.Intimacy took place all the night

Beacon Hills.Derek Hale.POV

In the preserve Derek was seething.Not only did he got expelled of Hogwarts but he also failed to bump off Michael and Jackson.Mike whored after celebrity with Potter while Jackson became the mate of a werewolf.An Alpha no less.The dominant obviously protected Jackson.Derek couldn't smash to a pulp his former sidekick.He often saw the couple strutting around Beacon Hills.Derek swore to himself the little traitor would soon double over in pain when he caught him. Derek growled.Jackson was supposed to be a sitting duck not being bonded to an Alpha who matched Derek's powers.Scott McCall wrecked all his plans.

Quite furious,Derek slugged a range of trees which collapsed straight away.Isaac had been roughed up when he drew near of Jackson by this annoying guy.Derek already loathed him as much as he hated his ex allies.They betrayed Derek by disobeying to him.Jackson and Mike used to represent a new family for him.He expected them to join his future pack as omegas.Derek couldn't condone their actions.He had to dispose of them from now on.Derek often observed Jackson's Manor.He needed to find out the perfect moment for killing the turncoat. Unfortunately,Jackson spent days on end reading his house surrounded with mountain ash or making out with McCall.The slutty boy never hesitated to spread his legs for his Alpha.Derek didn't admit defeat,though.He would take revenge on Jackson then Michael whatever it cost him and next he would change Isaac.

Derek stopped uprooting trees when suddenly he got a bright idea.Derek smirked as he grasped how he could kill off his new enemies in one fell swoop,if he succeeded Jackson,Mike,Potter who stole his favorite omega and Loony Lovegood were going to die.

Beacon Hills.Jackson.POV

Jackson woke up wedged between blankets around 11 AM.The night had been hectic.He realized pretty quickly Scott had gone.Jackson panicked imagining awful stuff which explained Scott's disappearance until delicious smell of food wafted into his room.The smell made Jackson's mouth water.

Scott brought a huge tray of brunch for both of them.He had a goofy smile on his face. Jackson beamed when Scott set it beside him then they kissed in a heated way. Jackson gasped as he peeked at stacks of jelly toasts,bowls of freshly cut fruits, homemade waffles covered with maple syrup,tuna melt sandwiches,steamed shrimps,buttery grits and two large mugs of coffee.Scott lay down next to him then they began eating.Jackson moaned in pleasure when he tasted the waffles.Scott had great talents for cooking.Jackson gave his thanks for the endeavor caressing Scott's loins.The latter sniggered before imitating him,which thrilled Jackson.They chortled and they sipped their mugs of expresso.Both ate with zest.Once they had finished Jackson put the tray down on the floor then he nestled against Scott.His mate enlaced him tightly. They kept silent for a long time relishing this moment.Scott nuzzled Jackson's neck.The blond teen tittered.

"Thanks Scottie.You fixed a fucking awesome breakfast.I'm really sure you gonna make my life perfect.I got lucky when I met you.I'm glad you've claimed me." Jackson cooed as he straddled Scott.

Scott grinned."Yeah.You're welcome,babe.I should say the same for you.I'm very happy you've accepted me.I can't afford to offer you many presents yet.I thought I could prepare you a meal instead of fancy clothes."Scott replied stroking Jackson.

Jackson giggled rubbing against Scott's crotch.He felt Scott's arousal."I don't really need that.I just enjoy spending time with you.I feel safe when you're around me.You're the best mate ever.Hell,I'd be dead twice without you.Scott you've been preventing Hale from butchering me for two months. Thanks again."Jackson said.

"I promise that creep won't come near you."Scott grunted his eyes flashing red."I'll cope with him if he attacks you.His bashing is long overdue.Nobody spoils your life and gets away with it."

To prove his point Scott almost choked Jackson by hugging him, which didn't bother him much.Jackson knew Scott had some trouble to control his force,so he indulged him even if Scott unwillingly hurt him. Anyway,Scott turned overprotective whenever he perceived Jackson was in peril. The wizard would never confess it because of his huge pride but he adored when Scott got touchy-feely.This reminded him Scott cared for him.Seeing that he had been adopted Jackson kinda swallowed treatment that chastened his pride.Jackson's birth parents had abandoned him in consequence he always dreaded others rejected him,too. Scott heartily loved him,which appeased him.He would never dump Jackson.

" 'Love you.I'm very delighted I've encountered you.Just for ya know.I'm spending the best vacation of my life with you."Scott purred then kissed Jackson's cheek.

Jackson grinned."Likewise.Love you,too." Jackson whispered.Yawning he added."I don't know for you but I wanna sleep in.The night exhausted me."

Scott peered at Jackson lecherously."I get what you mean,babe.We need loads of energy tonight.Relax.I'm left plenty of condoms for ya my wanton boy."Scott jested.Jackson flushed.

Scott turned around Jackson then stretched out on his mate's back.Jackson immersed himself in Scott's warmth.Scott wrapped his arms around Jackson's waist as the blond snuggled down beside him.The couple fell asleep again at once.

Dumbledore.POV

Meanwhile in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,Dumbledore was torturing Dobby the house elf.He chuckled whenever Dobby begged him.That filthy beast confounded lemon drops with strawberry lollipops.Dumbledore was foolish enough to entrust Dobby with the responsibility of doing his shopping.The Headmaster of Hogwarts crucioed Dobby until its mind broke,so he cast Avada Kedavra on the elf. An insane didn't have any use.Sighing Dumbledore cast the Fiendfyre curse for ridding of the corpse.Dumbledore stormed stormed out of his office.He headed for Hogsmeade.That incompetent creature forced the Great Dumbledore to consort with the mob in order to buy his favorite sweets.

Dumbledore beckoned to the sheep greeting or bowing to him whereas he scorned that lot.The old man chortled remembering Dobby's anguish.That ungrateful thing deserved far worse.Dumbledore was too lenient with riffraff.The old crook whistled, mentally musing over ways to massacre Muggleborns.In Hogsmeade village many shop goers gazed at him with wonder.The Ministry acknowledged that Tom was back at last.They expected him to triumph over the Darkest wizard ever.Poor fools. Dumbledore would never do such a thing,on the contrary he assisted his so-called enemy.Dumbledore smiled as herds of villagers and tourists clustered around him. His eyes twinkling Dumbledore handed out autographs.

At the candy store,he bought lots of boxes of lemon drops.The clever storekeeper didn't have him pay.Perhaps Dumbledore let him survive the war.He left the store surrounded with fans.Dumbledore despised that lot,just as he loathed any whelps of Hogwarts.He couldn't wait that Potter sacrificied himself under his guidance on behalf of the Greater good of his vaults.Dumbledore endlessly hoodwinked the dull teen into risking his life. The brat worshipped him.

Once he entered Hogwarts,Dumbledore sucked a lemon drop while gloating over the memory of Hagrid's murder.The stupid Half-breed hadn't anticipated that.The great Dumbledore had no friends no loved ones only pawns except for Tom.He only cared for him.Greed prompted him to use his followers until they got helpless,which never bothered his tiny conscience.

Dumbledore hurried back in his office.He had just figured out where Potter was sheltering.It was so obvious.Dumbledore smirked.He would get back his weapon.
Beacon Hills.Jackson's POV. A few hours later.

Somebody was tapping on Jackson's window. The said teen jerked awake.He noticed that Scott had gone again.Sighing, Jackson rubbed the sleep out of his eyes then got up after a fashion.Two owls were knocking and whirring their wings in a frenzied way.Jackson recognized Tyke, Mike's moody owl.It very nearly broke the pane.Jackson opened his window's room after making sure that Scott wasn't behind him.The birds flew into the bedroom.Tyke shot many poisonous glares at the wizard. Tyke wasn't patient.He pecked Jackson's hands viciously next dumped the contents of his legs while leering at Jackson and flew out without waiting Jackson's answer.Anyhow Jackson hardly ever wrote back to Mike. Stupid bird.The wizard cursed before he wiped the blood he was shedding with a handkerchief.

The other owl stuck out a leg which had another letter.Jackson untied it warily.He didn't want that owl assaulted him too.Instead the bird hooted once then flew away. The second missive contained the Hogwarts seal.Jackson understood he got his OWL results.He clutched the letters then plonked down himself on his bed.Jackson had also received the list of equipment for the 6th year at Hogwarts.He dismissed it completely.The blonde teen had to take Scott's Muggle status into account.Jackson barely hesitated between Mike's message and Hogwarts's one.He opted for reading Hogwarts's letter first.At least he saved himself of enduring Mike's lovesick tales of Potter's shabby life for a few minutes. Though Jackson doubted he would come back to Hogwarts because of You-know-who's return or that mate story, he longed for finding out whether he passed his exams.He ripped open the envelope.

Jackson growled.How dared he!?That goddamm dwarf!He bet that Flitwick flunked him on purpose.The phoney loathed him.Jackson had reviewed for days on end for nothing .He quite pictured Flitwick gloating over Jackson's grade.Steaming mad he pummeled his pillow.Jackson couldn't stomach that blatant injustice.The repulsive Half-breed spoiled his future.Perhaps he should have listened to the choising hat when it had suggested Slytherins.Professor Snape protected like a mother hen his pupils from their numerous enemies.On the other hand Jackson was a Muggleborn,so he wagered Malfoy and his cronies would have harassed him.Sometimes he wondered how his existence would've turned different in the Snake's pit.No matter what they really thought of each other the Slytherins stuck together whereas the Ravenclaws backstabbed their housemates or pestered them.Derek and Isaac weren't the only ones who picked on Luna.Besides their Head of House played favorites to the benefit of this dick of Goldstein.Jackson was disgusted he had ever had a crush on that squealer.Plus Goldstein kept belittling Luna and Mike. Shaking his head Jackson perused Michael's letter.He already knew what the moron had written.

Hiya Jack!

How are you?Me? I'm fine.Harry sent me a portkey the other day and I landed in New York.Yeah.That's right.We showed up in your country.How far is it between New York and Beacon Hills?I'm over excited.I've always wanted to visit the States.

Harry introduced me to his family.They're badass.Yesterday we ate a bagel for lunch.I loved it.Harry offers me tons of stuff.Do you know Harry's a theater fanatic?Me neither. We've already gone to two plays at Broadway. Now we've planning to go on a tour of the Statue of the Liberty tomorrow.I heard it's pretty.It's amazing how Muggles manage without magic.Harry took me to our first date in a fancy restaurant two days ago.The waiters were humans not house elfs.Harry dragged me to a baseball game.You'd have liked it I suppose.New York is busier than Diagon Alley.I never met so many people in the same spot.

We've received our OWL results.Harry got an outstanding in DADA.Guess what?McGonagall named Harry Captain of Gryffindor team.I wonder who the new Ravenclaw Captain is.Davies just graduated after all.I've been spending the best break of my life.Harry's adorable.I'm sure you and he can be great friends.I must stop writing 'cause Harry's calling me.

I miss ya!Mike

Jackson read the letter oblivious Scott was staring at him.Jackson dropped Mike's missive before burning Hogwarts's message with a lighter.The blond boy seethed.First Flitwick graded him unfairly then Mike couldn't refrain from praising the Freak-who-lived.Jackson didn't give a damn of Potter. Mike turned obsessive whenever he mentioned his insane boyfriend.Typical.Mike quite irked Jackson.Frankly Mike didn't fit in Ravenclaw.Mike's mind only focused on his precious boyfriend but never asked about Jackson's safety.The blond resided in the same town where roamed a lunatic resolute to bump him off.Scott cleared his throat, which startled Jackson.Shit!He didn't heard his soulmate.Jackson tried and concealed the letter vainly.Scott put down two plates of salad on the bedsite table before he snatched the letter from Jackson's.Frankly he didn't even attempt to wrest it from Scott's grip.The werewolf began reading Mike's letter glaring at Jackson whenever his eyes fell on him.Scott's face was darkening which proved Mike unwillingly hit a nerve. Jackson sighed.He knew what expect to happen with his possessive mate but Jackson paled as Scott flipped in fury.Thanks Michael.

"Explain!"Scott snapped pointing at Mike's letter."Who's that Mike to begin with?I already dislike him.Say to that scumbag you're mine! I'll smash his face in if he hits you on! Tell me you don't have other secret admirators! Right!?Besides who writes letters of all things.We're in the twenty-first century.That Mike seems pathetic.How did you meet your dear Mike?What's a Muggle?It doesn't look nice.Fess up!!I hope you and Mike don't sleep together."Scott barked glowering at Jackson. "I warn you don't fend off my questions or else..."

When Jackson frozen stiff failed to speak Scott advanced toward Jackson's window with deliberate slow paces.The wizard tensed fearing his mate dumped him or quit the premises until Scott appeared changing his mind.He turned around facing Jackson anger rolling off him.Jackson grasped secrets might've soured their relationship.He didn't know precisely how to react but he refused to endanger his chances of happy ending with Scott.Jackson heaved a sigh. Scott's jealousy had really no limits.Jackson found the most possessive mate ever.Scott endeavored to poison him against Mike. Jackson definitely imagined Scott shackling him to a heater in case he tried and prevented Jackson from going out.Jackson's paranoid mate had stolen his Porsche's keys before owing to a storm.(Scott claimed he had just confiscated them.)Apparently Jackson risked being struck by lightning. Jackson fidgeted.This strife upset him. Although Scott often annoyed him each time he threw a fit Jackson detested when he bickered with Scott.The unbreakable link had some drawbacks but it satisfied both of them.Scott owed him and he belonged to Jackson.Well, Jackson disregarded his abandonment issues his dear birth parents caused around Scott.Plus Jackson became the submissive which made him comply with Scott's orders.Of course the werewolf exaggerated.Jackson got used to him losing his temper.At first Scott's fiery personality had disturbed him.Now he adored Scott through and through.The worst part was that Jackson appreciated that violent side of Scott.He guessed Scott only defended him out of affection contrary to Derek who acted like a protector.He prompted his preys to drop their guard before manhandled them for years.Jackson chose to clear up all the misconceptions.

"I'm actually a wizard.I've been studying in a school called Hogwarts all year long since I was 11.It's in the Northern Scotland.I didn't talk about it because of the Statute of Secrecy. It's a law of the Wizarding world which bans witches and wizards to speak of our world to Muggles like you.We call Muggles any mundane people who have no Magic powers.The world is kinda a slur.Some of us prefer calling them No-Mag.The authorities of my community throw into Azkaban any witches and wizards who reveal our existence .They also use a spell which erases memories of Muggles if they assist at Magic.The Wizarding world is divided into four categories depending on your blood between the Muggleborns like me, Halfbloods,Squids and Purebloods. Muggleborns are the first witch or wizard of their family.Halfbloods are born from a Muggleborn or Muggle and a Pureblood or another Halfblood.Squibs are those who are born in a magic family but have no powers. Purebloods have none drop of Muggle blood in their veins.Most of the Purebloods and Halfbloods scorn Muggleborns .They accuse us to stain their society .Mike's my best friend.He's like a little brother for me.Trust me.I didn't mean to lie.The Wizarding world is at war because a Maniac is slaughtering Muggleborns for he suspects us of stealing our magic from Purebloods.Derek hates me because that creep thinks I betrayed him.I just chose to stop obeying him."Jackson confessed.

"Okay.Thanks for relying on me.I love you Jackson.I ain't gonna sell you out or whatsoever.I know how secrets weigh on someone but I admit your friggin' odd world freaks me out.By the way what's Azkaban? "Scott queried tilting his head on a side.

" Azkaban is the British wizard prison sets in an island in the middle of the North Sea in Europe.It's guarded by the Dementors.Evil creatures that take happiness away from their victims.Instead they bring back nightmares, traumas, guilty, shames and so on;in brief they deprive you of all good feelings.Sometimes they even kiss you." Jackson informed him

Scott gasped raucously."What?! Your community doesn't make any sense .They practice a sorta bestiality.Yuck.I think I gonna puke if we don't change the subject.That useless Wizarding world of yours put in herds of perverts."Scott raved his eyes flashing.

Jackson refrained from snickering."No silly.The Dementors suck out your soul leaving you like an empty shell.This is what we call the Dementor's kiss.Prisonners usually go crazy a few weeks after they arrive in Azkaban.Even the simple name of that grim place terrifies any witches or wizards."Scott enlaced Jackson.The latter continued."When I turned up in Hogwarts Derek and Isaac hung out with me.We never got friends but Derek considered us a pack.Derek loved ordering us around.We became kinda bullies.Mike joined us afterwards.He was my first friend."Jackson asserted.

Jackson noticed that Scott's nostrils flared as Jackson pronounced Mike's name.Great. Another taboo topic.

"So let me summarize what you've told me Jack.You're secretly a wizard who studies in a boarding school in Scotland.As it wasn't enough you befriended Derek of all stupid decisions until you turned your back to him. You used to bully weaker students till you redeemed yourself.Derek and Isaac accuse you of betraying them, so they've decided to butcher you .Now a civil war just brought out since a serial killer ran amok.Right!?"Scott groused.His voice was getting higher and higher.Jackson only nodded."Fine!I forbid you to come back over there .Got it?!There's no way you study in a spot like that hovel where psychos kill off folks like you.I won't hesitate to lock you up in my cellar in case you believe I'm bluffing!"Scott exclaimed.

"Derek forced me to rob Goldstein.Ever since I've gotten a rep of thief.You see I had a crush on him.Mind you I loathe Goldstein now.He told me on to a professor.I got suspended one month owing to that squealer.Derek obliged Mike to date a girl whereas he know Mike's gay.Derek led our group, so he wrecked our lives just for fun."

"What sicko.It doesn't amaze me,though. Derek's notorious for pestering weaker people.The infamous Derek proved to be worthy of his awful image.Did he trick you into consorting with him? "Scott commented.

Jackson munched on a few crispy pickles instead of answering.Scott shrugged then tore Mike's letter to pieces.He slung it right in the trashcan.Honestly, the overbearing teen no longer surprised Jackson.The wizard had no gift like Luna but he already foresaw Scott impeded him to ditch Mike.Jackson mused Scott absolutely convinced himself that Mike flirted with him.Scott's refused to share his mate.He presumed Scott was spot on, though he'd rather die than acknowledge it.Jackson could get rid of his pent-up resentment if he grew away from Mike.The last months had strained their friendship. Mike always stuck up for Potter every time Potter and Jackson had a fight.Jackson also differed with Mike about several stuff.It was the perfect moment to move on.Nobody would discover his departure before September except for Luna.She was probably observing their conversation thanks to her seer skills.Jackson didn't doubt he disappointed her.He only felt a pang of conscience because Mike counted on him.Mike and Luna had neither a cellphone nor a computer.Jackson couldn't get in touch with them.He never bought an owl.Disliking Potter was the only thing Jackson agreed with Derek.Gosh.He approved that slimebag . Jackson should consult a shrink straight off.

Jackson realized a bit Scott regained his composure.The Wizarding world quite repulsed him.Blood prejudices,the old meddlesome and deceptive Headmaster of Hogwarts,unfair treatments, biased professors as well as loads of old fashioned ideas in the magic society repealed him. Jackson quivered pondering over the Deatheaters.They were tracking down other Muggleborns.Jackson left the Wizarding world with pleasure.He only refused to destroy his wand.Jackson had felt so unique when he had bought it.He guessed he could support a Muggle high school in order to satisfy Scott.Thus Jackson remained alive, unless Derek assisted it too.

Scott cupped his hand around Jackson's chin. "I care for you Jack.I know that I tend to overreact but you're my anchor in life.So long as you're not in danger I'm relieved. Beacon Hills isn't a safe haven either.In our town people dubbed the hunters massacre werewolves.These monsters murders us for centuries.I'll sign my own death warrant if they find out who I am.The Argents belong to their lot.They burn alive all the Hale family aside from Derek who studied abroad.This tragedy doesn't justify Derek's actions.I gonna watch you out more.He'd better not bother you.Derek bears grudges against you for nothing! I'll stop that spiteful dude even if I must disembowel him!Yesterday he bashed a friend of mine.I'll pay for this too.You hear me?!"Scott thundered

Jackson bumbled."What... d... d... d... do... do... do... Der... Der... Derek... He... He... rip... rip... my... my..." Scott hugged Jackson tighter.Jackson took a deep breath then corrected himself."I'm afraid that Derek rips out my throat with his teeth if he has any chances .The last week Derek sent several funeral wreaths to my parents.He wrote."I offer you my heartfelt condolences for your loss.Derek Hale."Mom wept and had panic attacks."Jackson whined

Scott shifted his arms around Jackson's waist."Oh baby I'll defend you.Someday I'll deal with Derek.He won't touch you or harass you I promise Okay?He'll regret it if he even comes near you."Scott snarled his eyes turned red.Wanna something to console you Jack?"

Jackson almost smiled."I'd like hotdogs with tons of mustard."

"Sure my cute little bitch.You love sausages, eh? "Scott teased.Jackson blushed.Scott giggled nonfazed fondling him."Oh hon' don't be so prudish.I took a peek at the files on your computer out of sheer curiosity.You downloaded plenty of movies.Why not run a slasher marathon?Rest while I'm fixing hotdogs and snacks.How about you pick us a good movie for a start?"

Scott kissed Jackson in a heated and possessive way.The wizard surmised he had a rocky road ahead.First he had to catch up with five years of Muggle classes.Besides he wasn't sure to survive due to the psycho of Beacon Hills.Jackson feared less You-know-who than Derek.At least the Dark Lord didn't live in the same town.Scott left him alone for fixing an early dinner.Jackson grinned.He loved when Scott pampered him. Disregarding his huge pride Jackson accepted his new condition.

Chapter Text

Dumbledore's POV.

Albus Dumbledore was seething.He had just returned from his useless short trip in Ireland so as to grab Potter.Dumbledore expected him to spend the rest of the break with his boyfriend Corner.He did see the two teens holding hands around Hogwarts.Alas it wasn't the case!Furthermore it seemed Corner had also disappeared into thin air for joining Potter probably.Furious the Headmaster had tortured and eliminated two other house elfs in the castle.It failed to calm him down but the old man had enjoyed watching them suffering or pleading him in vain.

The old codger sighed.Now he needed to hire new elves cough slaves cough.Dumbledore despised all magical creatures especially Squibs.In Dumbledore's mind they belonged to the kind of the stupid beasts.He had engaged Filch as caretaker through malice. The fact that he was surrounded by magic users while he longed for using it too was sapping Filch.The Hogwarts'Headmaster chortled as he remembered the day he had fed Fang Hagrid'dog to the giant squid after Dumbledore had tossed the mutt in the Black Lack.Fang had swum in the cold waters until a tentacle clutched it then choked it.If only Dumbledore could dispose of the Muggleborns as easily.

Dumbledore exited his office.In the halls he very nearly liquidated Flitwick when he passed the tiny Head of the Ravenclaw House.Filthy Half-breed.Flitwick had still some utilities for now.Once Flitwick became a burden he would sustain a horrific accident.He only waved at the thing. Dumbledore estimated the Wizarding world needed that someone cleaned it up. Dumbledore passed delicious evenings with Tom visualizing their victims'demises in the pensive he had stolen decades ago.

The evil wizard was going to search for the nearest mundane village to catch,manhandle and kill some Muggles.His gaudy colored robes billowing behind him Dumbledore mused over new ways of murdering in the most inhumane manner Muggleborns or far better Squibs.Obviously Dumbledore had just gulped a vial of polyjuice spiked with a hair of this sweet deceased Hagrid.After he would commit good actions to get rid of vermins the Wizarding world would track down a corpse.Sheeps.Moreover the inane former Minister Fudge had been dealt with.Fudge's screams of anguish during his torment had been a music in Dumbledore's ears.His second target Umbridge focused his ire.Dumbledore was going to crush the toad.Those insolent worms had dared expel the Great Dumbledore of his property, Hogwarts.

Since Dumbledore had returned from Ireland he was pursuing Corner and Potter.Those rebels were reaping what they sowed. Nobody challenged him without tragic consequences.The Ravenclaw boy deprived Dumbledore of his perfect weapon. Dumbledore only did his duty by punishing Corner in behalf of his own Justice.First Dumbledore should cast Avada Kedavra on Corner.Of course he had to discover where those whelps hid prior to wreck his vengeance on the couple.

Beacon Hills.Jackson's POV.2 weeks later.2 PM

Jackson was moping since Scott left him alone before the Whittemores showed up.His "parents" returned that afternoon for his greatest pleasure.He didn't look forward to have to explain Scott's presence to his so called father.David Whittemore was very homophobic.Scott promised to drop by while Jackson's adoptive parents would be sleeping during the night.Scott got to prepare himself for the full moon of the following day with his pack.

Jackson was restless.He needed to move or to do anything for taking his mind off his absence.He rushed downstairs and searched for some snacks or even better cookie dough ice cream.He planned to watch a blu ray of super hero on his PC.Jackson sighed.The closets and the fridge were completely empty.Scott and himself plundered them.He already heard the endless rant of his parents if there was nothing to eat.Damn it!Jackson was so happy without his parents.He adored his freedom.He guessed he had to do some food shopping in the nearest grocery store before they arrived.He climbed up back the stairs before he assessed his room till he found his metal(silver)baseball bat he clutched it in case he ever bumped into Derek then put on his favorite baseball cap hidden in his wardrobe (Jackson loved baseball).He didn't forget the credit card his mother left on the kitchen for his expanses then went out to the garage.

He realized something was wrong at once.His car keys were nowhere to be found. He sighed.Scott had stolen them.Jackson gritted his teeth.His infuriating mate had left a note on the dashboard to claim his feat.Scott even had the gall to assert it was for safety.Plus the gas tank was empty.Jackson grumbled especially as he noticed Scott borrowed his mountain bike too.Great.His overprotective mate acted up again unless he thought Jackson was too stupid to ride a bike.It was pure luck Scott didn't decide to lock him in his bedroom for his own good.Jackson ventured out in spite of all risks.He defied Scott for a change.

Jackson was Not a pushover he could manhandle.Scott treated him like a vulgar bitch.Okay,he was a bottom but that didn't mean he would show him his belly waiting his orders.A mate was supposed to be an equal not a punching bag.Scott couldn't expect bim to roll over and grovel before him like a measly omega.Jackson wanted him to respect him at last.He didn't need another Derek.Besides Scott never introduced his pack to him.Was he ashamed of him?The mate of an Alpha was the second in any regular pack but the True Alpha obviously didn't play by the rules.If his pack could be considered a true pack...Jackson sighed. Scott wasn't a good mate nor a good Alpha either.Sure,he loved Scott but sometimes he craved for wringing his neck.Their unhealthy relationship disturbed him.

Anyway,the last week he sneaked out and he enrolled in Devenford prep.He did manage to convince his adoptive parents to choose this school.No way he studied in the same place as Scott.In Devenford Scott wouldn't be able to control his life or spy him.He dreaded Scott's reaction if a guy talk to Jackson.He quite pictured Scott pushed him into the lockers.Scott was adamant he studied in Beacon Hills High.As if... He initiated action in case Scott tried to make him attend his shitty school.

Devenford had plenty of upsides like dorms.Not only it reminded him of Hogwarts but Jackson also hoped he could make new friends,have fun far away from his maniac mate.He really got used to sleep with dormates in Hogwarts.Boarding schools brought a sense of community he longed for. He dreamed of becoming popular.He wanted to play baseball or lacrosse if Devenford had no baseball team.Jackson loved baseball.It was the only thing he shares with his adoptive father:their passion for baseball.When he was just a kid they played for hours in the backyard till they were both of them frazzled but so happy.Now his father was too busy for spending any time with his so-called son.

Besides Beacon Hills High was a magnet for trouble of all sorts.One of his former principal was Gerard freakingq Argent patriarch of the Argent hunter's clan.The old man was a psyco and a monster worse than any creatures he hunted down.Even the dementors were more honorable.The numbers of his victims are around ten thousands, werewolves,creatures and humans alike.He trained and formed the bitch Kate Argent rapist on top of that.His freaky daughter who only deserved death like all his damned family.She burned alive almost all the Hales even kids or babies.That hellhole of Beacon Hills welcomed a certain Ms Blake last year.She was an English teacher but turned out to be a darach aka a dark druid who used her powers to manhandled others.She sacrificed a dozen of people in the town to a rotten stump called the Nemeton for recovering her beauty.What a nutcase.Even Derek sounded saner.Beacon Hills housed too many geriatric and supernatural lunatics like the Dread Doctors, so he preferred avoiding the area.Devenford was located in a safe place at least.He didn't risk of enduring the killing spree of the week as soon as a hunter or a creature went berserk.He wanted to be a normal teen not living in fear.

The past two weeks were quite informative. Jackson met Peter Hale his birth father.He discovered his nemesis,Derek Hale,was his own cousin,too.Imagine his shock...He didn't recover from the shock,yet.Peter had barged in his bedroom a night.He had brought tons of documents from the Gringotts bank in Bella Vista alley,the only Wizarding shopping area in the Southwest of the US in Los Angeles.Its entry were hidden of Muggles behind the Hollywood sign.Peter forced him to read all the files.Dismissing his fear,an infamous murderer as well as a werewolf had breaken into his room,Jackson complied.

The more Jackson read the more his whole world shattered.He found out his birth parents were Peter Hale and Suzanne Talbot.Not only her mother were killed by an unknown but his adoption was apparently illegal.The Whittemores hadn't no right to adopt him when he was six.He decided to stop loving them at once.They were sloppy parents believing money or presents buy affection anyway.He had had a big brother Connor dead in the Hale fire.He always wished to get a sibling.Kate freaking Argent stole his chance.He never loathed someone so much he loathed Kate Argent.The biggest new was he was supposedly a born werewolf. Someone trapped his wolf inside him.He wasn't so human after all.He wondered who kidnapped him prior to trap his wolf and why.(He also grasped the strange reason he hanged around with Derek despite all the disgust the dumb brute inspired him.Something in him,his wolf,recognized a packmate and more importantly a relative.)They must've been a magic user.That meant Beacon Hills shelters other witches and wizards not just the Hales or Lahey.Jackson realized they probably had eliminated his mom before his abduction.

Still the most amazing thing was he didn't remember of his past with his true family.The oldest memory he had was the day the Whittemores found him in an orphanage.He had certainly been obliviated.He questioned if an Argent got magic power or used a druid a wizard or a witch to do it.The Argents are the only bastards set to wreck the lives of the Hales.Peter told him that everyone else loved their family. Jackson believed these files.All the Wizarding world cursed the Goblins name but they couldn't deny they were honest business people.They never deceived their clients.

Peter also related all what happened before the fateful day Kate Argent burned alive the Hale Pack three years ago.Beacon Hills was a haven for supernatural creatures and humans until the Argents spoiled everything. All the Argents deserved to die in a gruesome ways Jackson thought.Talia Hale, Peter's sister and Derek's mother,protected the town of any danger.People lived in a little paradise even weak omegas wolves.Peter explained his role as second.He performed drastic actions when his aunt didn't want to get her hands dirty.Peter was the main reason harmony ruled between humans and supernaturals during the Alphahood of Talia.Jackson was proud of his father even if he had trouble calling him dad at the moment.It made sense Beacon Hills was in disarray since the Hale fire.No good Alpha had protected the town for three good years.

After many minutes of stunned silence for processing the huge amount of info Jackson had sit on his bed and think.First he was a Hale.Second he was a born wolf.He didn't know why the full moon never affected him.Maybe it was due to the prick who trapped his wolf inside him.Third his birth father is an unrepentant serial killer.Call him what you wanted but Jackson couldn't find a reason to care.Most of his victims had it coming.Peter had just punished the bastards who helped Kate to end the Hale pack or Jennifer Blake that scumbag who had sacrificed teens and threatened Scott's mom to accomplish her revenge.Peter was a benefactor.Even the Deadpool list was justified.Peter had just gotten rid of weakling.Their town of Beacon Hills was Not a place for defenseless maggots.The only stuff Jackson reproached him was Peter waited one long year to announce him he was his true father after he pickud up the files in Gringotts Bank one year earlier and he manipulated a poor girl to resurrected him.(Apparently in Beacon Hills it was commonplace to bring back people to life.)Jackson dreaded she was traumatized owing to Peter.He definitely stepped over the line.Peter mentally raped her.

Jackson shook his head for focusing on the files.Something in him was boiling at the idea a filthy human dared to kill most of his family.So the Hale pack included his aunts,uncles, cousins, grandparents and his brother.He never had the chance to meet them because of Kate Argent.It was such a shame Peter failed to slit her throat.Now she continued her miserable life as a werejaguar disregarding the code her despicable family followed for relieving their conscience.A useful trick for wimpy killer like Chris Argent.At least Kate or their father assumed their bloodthirst.They didn't hid behind a code to justify it.To make things worse Peter announced his mother's family suffered the same fate as the Hales. The Talbots were burned alive ten years ago.Only two of his cousins survived.That news almost made him sob.The only reason he resisted was he refused to look like a crybaby beside his true father.It was too many tragedies around him.(He cried after Peter was gone.)Jackson were sure those fucking Argents were responsible.

Peter helped him to understand who Scott really was,as well.Sure Peter bit him without asking his opinion.What a tragedy.Peter was a hero.He turned an asthmatic loser into a lacrosse star.That ungrateful dumbass never thanked his father.If Jackson had known he'd never mated with that idiot. No Scott only whined like a child over it but enjoyed all the advantages of being a wolf.Plus he had the gall to lock his father in Eichen House! Beacon Hills belonged to the Hales not to an upstart Alpha.Jackson was ashamed of his past behavior.He acted around Scott like a vulgar bitch,a pussy Hufflepuff or worse an omega.It was unworthy of a Hale.Besides Scott sucked as Alpha.His first Beta even quit his pack.Who in their right mind would like to be led by an Alpha like Scott?He refused to shed blood so bodies piled up because Scott wasn't able to stop crimes.Peter and the last Hale defended Beacon Hills not Scott.

Jackson changed after Peter's visit.He challenged his lousy mate now.He wrote regularly to Mike to spite Scott.Jackson bet he was frothing at the mouth due to his correspondence.Scott couldn't prevent him from getting in touch with his best friend.He already mentioned Devenford.Jackson shook his head.He had opened his eyes thanks to Peter.He had been looking forward to study with Scott, kiss behind the bleachers with him and spending all his time around his mate but Peter informed him of the tidbit Scott concealed.His mate was a hypocrite.Worse two of his exes belonged to his pack.He got it why Scott didn't introduce him to his pack.And he had the front to accuse Jackson to flirt with Mike!Kira what's her name and the hoe Allison Argent of all people were his past lovers.What kind of werewolf banged a werewolf hunter?It was lucky Peter revealed it or Jackson could've demeaned himself to befriend the Argent girl due to his ignorance without Peter's intervention.He had chosen Devenford prep on Peter's advice.

A twig behind him snapped,which stopped his long musings.Jackson realized he was in the preserve.That fact curdled his blood.He chose to come home rather than bump into Derek.He didn't give a damn if his adoptive parents were furious.He was a Hale he was superior to them.Jackson owed them nothing.They basically kidnapped him.He quickly turned back.The problem was that his murderous cousin Derek himself was slouched on a tree behind him.Derek only smirked when Jackson gaped at him.Jackson swallowed,tightened his fists to stop trembling then Jackson bolted not before flipping him off.

"I'll rip you limb from limb traitor!Your stupid mate can't protect you now Jackson!"Derek howled.

Jackson ran away.The surprise permitted to Jackson to outdistance his enemy for a start.Derek growled ominously.Jackson speeded up then pulled ahead of his mad cousin.The only wish of that maniac was to massacre him.It was a question of life and death.If Derek caught him it was the end.Derek would never relent or take pity on him.Looking back Jackson realized the sick werewolf was still chasing after him.Derek even had his wolf features.Jackson reined in his fear and he dodged a claw attack.Five minutes later Jackson didn't give in to fear and scrambled out of the way when Derek tried to jump him.His cousin slipped on a slope.Relieved Jackson thought he was safe when as of sudden Derek gripped his left ankle.He tripped. Channeling all his urge to survive Jackson kicked and pummeled Derek till he released him.No way he let the maniac kill him.He had just been reunited with his true father.Derek snarled.Jackson didn't linger much.He scooted off.

Jackson had a stitch on his side but couldn't slow down for getting his breath back.He limped into the forest.Derek broke his ankle when he grabbed him.He ignored the pain or the blood which was dripping off his foot.Derek was catching up and contrary to Jackson he didn't get out of breath.Strangely enough Jackson seemed to remember the preserve as if he had visited it the day before.Maybe it was the trapped wolf inside him who knew a familiar place.No it was prisoner in his body for ten years the preserve had to change since.A figure appeared just at the instant Derek was about to pounce on him.

"Mine!"The mysterious guy cooed.

He flashed crimson eyes.Jackson gulped.He was an Alpha!Frightened Jackson darted off.That day couldn't get worse.Psycho wolves were pursuing him.He cursed at Scott.It was all his fault.Jackson would be safe in his car if that jackass hadn't stolen his car keys.He was running for his life in the preserve instead.The other unknown teen was hounding him.Derek was nowhere to be found.Jackson dreaded Derek was ambushing him someplace.Derek wasn't the type of person to give up so easily.He wasn't going to die!

He discerned a ditch running around the road next to the exit of the preserve.If he managed to reach it Jackson would hitchhike a car for joining Peter or his mate.The Alpha was stalking him.His sprained ankle took a toll on him.He stumbled a few times and almost fell.The Alpha werewolf quickly cornered him.Jackson flinched from him but the guy set his arms around him,which prevented him from moving.Crap!

"Name's Theo Raeken The best Alpha of Beacon Hills.You've got a real privilege 'cause you're my mate."Theo simpered."I'll assist you with all your wishes if you accept to be mine."

Theo winked and touched him lightly. Jackson began to blush.Curiously enough the more Jackson watched him the more he got aroused.Theo was really hunky.He even thought he was sexier than Scott before he felt guilty.Sure Jackson resented Scott but that didn't mean he wanted to cheat on him.

"Sorry I've already a mate."Jackson rasped. He was still exhausted after the race in the woods.

Theo smirked nonfazed."Not very good right?What kind of dominant can't protect their submissive?If you accepted me Derek Hale couldn't push you around like that.Even better I offer you the bite.Do you wanna be a werewolf?You'll be always safe with me.We gonna get to spend time together.I'll show you what a real dominant is."Theo asserted his canines started peeking out of his top lip.

Jackson opened his mouth to object and defend Scott before he changed his mind.He shrugged.Scott obviously screwed around with the kitsune,the Argent girl and the two omegas of his pack.Peter told him omegas in a pack only served of sex slaves or punching bags.Scott wasn't the sort of Alpha to ill treat his goons aka his packmates so the twins omegas had to bend over to Scott offering their ass for keeping the safety of a pack.Supernatural world was harsh for omegas.They were too weak to have another use.Hooking up with a werewolf,far better another Alpha no less,was the perfect revenge on his unfaithful mate.

Jackson heard of Theo.Scott detested him. Perfect.The fact Jackson had sex with his enemy would upset him much.Jackson grinned he also imagined Scott's head when he found out his rival pounded his mate. Besides Theo rescued him.Jackson would be dead with his throat ripped out by Derek without Theo.The latter deserved a reward.Still he pretended to ponder over it for a while.He couldn't seem to have loose morals.Jackson was a Hale he needed high standards according to his father.The Hales were important people.

"Will I join your pack if I accept?"Jackson asked.

"Of course.You'll the Alpha mate which make you the second more important person of our little pack."Theo asked leering at him.Jackson blushed.

Jackson readily joined a true pack not that parody created by Derek the delusional Beta or Scott's pack composed of anything but werewolves.Omegas didn't count like werewolves worthy of the name.Theo proved a future better mate already than Scott and they had just met.Theo respected him.Theo suggested doing stuff but asked his opinion whereas Scott decided alone for Jackson's good obviously.Theo also offered him to release his wolf.Peter informed him only an Alpha bite could break the curse his mom killer cast on him for separating him of his wolf.Jackson loved the potential power within reach.Derek wouldn't be able to harass him anymore with the help of his freed wolf.Plus he gained a stud as a second mate.He had nothing to lose.

Jackson nodded"I accept only if you turn me.I want to become a wolf."Jackson answered.He glossed over the fact he was technically a born wolf.

Theo smirked wider."Accepted.My mate can only be a future great wolf."Theo boasted.

Theo flashed his eyes before showing a row of very sharp fangs.

Smut

They took off their shirts.Theo slid on his knees and unbuckled his belt.Jackson threw off his pants,socks and sneakers.They made out soon Theo wrapped his arms around him while he was nuzzling into his neck.Jackson moaned and clung to Theo harder.The touch on his body thrilled him so much he almost came.The two mates kissed till they were breathless.

Theo flipped him over on the soft mattress.Jackson only longed for presenting his butt like a gift to Theo,let him plunge into him.

Theo plumped up the pillow then Theo and Jackson spooned on the soft mattress. Jackson beamed.The upside was he found a second gorgeous mate.He definitely stayed in Beacon Hills instead of coming back to Hogwarts for his sixth year.Not he had any doubt to be honest.The only downside was to explain the changes to Scott without gloating...much.Jackson was really glad he met Theo.He couldn't believe he was mated with a so sexy guy.Theo had the physique of a model.Jackson was sure his first possessive mate would throw a fit.He hoped Scott wouldn't try to kill Theo.Scott wasn't above resorting to violence like the day he roughed up Lahey.

Derek Hale's POV

In the preserve,Derek was pacing the ground behind the ruins of his old home burned by that cunt of Kate Argent.

He howled in rage.Derek had just pursued Jackson around the woods to no avail.At the moment he was about to rip his throat with his teeth that goddamn Raeken showed up and saved Whittemore.He was fed up with those damned interlopers who protected his prey!

Derek was livid.Jackson outsmarted him again.He couldn't believe his nerve!That wasn't supposed to happen!Theo and Scott complicated all his plans!

Derek roared then smashed a wall into pieces.That failed to calm him, though.Fucking Jackson!The slut had two mates from now on.Two Alphas with their own packs ready to defend the blond whore.Whittemore joined both of their packs no less.

Worse of all Raeken offered the bite to Jackson.The backstabber accepted of course!Theo turned Whittemore into a werewolf.His former lackey could defend himself.The situation made him sick.Before he fled he overheard Jackson and the infamous Raeken flirt like two horny dogs.Disgusting!

Raeken joined his hit list.Derek would off him too someday.Slaughtering Jackson would be easy as hell without those freaking Alphas.How could he waged his vendetta against his former minion if Jackson had werewolves determined to stand up for him!

Derek didn't allow Jackson to enjoy his pathetic life!The little weasel didn't deserve it.Since he met his mates Whittemore radiated happiness and kept beaming like an idiot!Derek swore to beat him to death when he caught him then he was going to drown Jackson's parents in the creek of Beacon Hills and eviscerate Raeken and McCall.

His face contorted with hate and fury,Derek buried alive a Persian cat he snatched in a garden in town.He imagined it was Jackson and his stupid mates.Its agony screams were a music for his ears.Whittemore affronted him for the last time.This slight wouldn't go unpunished.Derek exploded.

"I'll kill Jackson and his two mates even if I must die for it!I'll slaughter all my enemies!I'll deal with McCall's and Raeken's packs first!We'll see if that pathetic excuse of a banshee can predict her own death!I'll have fun with that little runt of Dunbar.I'll choke the midget with two fingers in front of his mate!Talbot is used to lose his loved ones!I'll force the two Omega Steiner to kill each each other for their crime of being alive!The nerd Mahealani will be bludgeoned with the keyboard of his laptop till his skull smash into million pieces.I'll butcher all the other supernatural creatures of Beacon Hills.Only the Hales can live in this town!I'll fasten all the last Argents to a gate and set them on fire!Just poetic justice for the massacre of my family!I'll gouge Deaton's eyes for his abandon of my pack!Once I deal with those worms I'll fly to the U.K!I'll tear apart Corner!The loser will pay for his unnatural relationship with the Freak-who-lived!I'll slash Potter's body till he bleed out!I hope he takes hours to die.I don't forget you Loony Lovegood!She'll soon join his insane mother in the graveyard with her Nargles or whatever that crazy mind of hers made up!I'll crush that fucking dwarf Flitwick!How dare he demand my expulsion from Hogwarts!I'll rip off the beard off Dumbledork and I'll shove in his ass!He kicked me out his school!I'll strangle that old goat!I'll maul Weasley and that beaver of Granger!I'll make them pay their friendship with Potter!"Derek bellowed.

A noise cut off his tirade.Derek whipped round.Isaac who was behind him cringed when their eyes met.At least Isaac remained loyal.The day the curly boy betrayed him, Derek would crucify him to a tree.No one challenged him and get away with it!No one!

Luna Lovegood's POV.England

Meanwhile in a little house next to the Burrow,Luna jerked awake.Her gift enabled to see all the events that took place in the US where currently resided his friends Jackson and Michael.The evil Derek was scheming more plans to wreck the lives of Jackson and his mates.He was getting more and more feral.

Bonding with another handsome mate certainly uplifted Jackson's spirits but Luna got worried.His second mate Theo Raeken was quite a murderer.He didn't hesitate to let his own sister die in front of him.He even watched her drowning as it wasn't a big deal! He could corrupt Jackson further.Besides Theo killed three chimeras,obeyed to mad scientists and attempted to dispatch Scott, Jackson's first mate,for stealing his Alpha powers.He was also manipulative and a liar.Theo often poisoned the minds of his victims against somebody else to gain the upper hand.He used this trick for dividing Scott's pack.Luna shuddered.

She hesitated about the worst menace for Jackson's soul between Theo and Peter Hale.Since Jackson encountered his horrible birth father he risked turning dark.Peter was filling Jackson's heart with hate.Peter was bad news.He even set Jackson against his first mate whereas Scott was the best thing to ever happen to Jackson.Peter disrupted the sacred bond between mates.

Luna felt a pang of sadness for Jackson.He had always sought after his birth parents only to discover his mom was murdered and his birth father turned out a manipulative psychopath.All the efforts Jackson undertook to redeem himself would've be in vain if he followed Peter's lead.His father used his own son for his selfish interests.

Maybe she was wrong Jackson could remain in Beacon Hills thanks to Theo's gift.Derek couldn't threaten his cousin now that he had the powers to fight back.At least Jackson's revolt against Scott meant Jackson didn't abandon Mike for good.

Scott McCall's POV.

Scott was fuming.Theo really grated on his nerves.Scott loathed the sneaky teen.Theo has a very punchable face.

Theo was the second person he hated the most after Derek Hale.The goddamn werewolf constantly threatened his Jax.He thwarted Derek's shenanigans since the wonderful day he met Jax.Scott had scrambled in the preserve when the bond he shared with Jax stretched thin with terror and pain.He had broken off a pack meeting for rescuing his mate.Jackson's well-being was his priority.He witnessed then that goddamn Derek Hale chasing after Jax to kill his mate.Scott growled.He was very tempted to maim and dispose of Derek.But that freaking Theo intervened before him and saved Jax.Scott was sure Theo paid Derek for tracking down Jax so Theo played the hero when he stopped Derek's attack.Scott mistrusted the traitor.Theo used to work for the Dread Doctors.Scott supposed Theo served new masters.The hypocrite wolf had ulterior motives.

Scott knew the Hales helped each other.Theo was their ally.Peter wasn't above tracking down helpless teen out of malice.He certainly trained Derek.Scott bet Peter funded Theo's pack.Nobody got rich overnight like Theo without dubious dark secrets.Peter pulled the strings behind Theo's back.The biggest desire of Peter was to take over Beacon Hills.His pawn Theo was very useful for fulfilling his plans.It was quite strange the Hales never stopped Theo as he was clearly creating a new pack.Anyway Scott blamed Peter for what went wrong in their town in the first place.Peter even stooped to form an alliance with the murderer of his family.Kate burned alive his family but his thirst of power was more important.His new treachery only increased Scott's deep seated dislike of Peter.

Scott suspected Theo and Peter were accomplices since the start.It wasn't a coincidence Theo had just appeared in town after the pack defeated Peter in Mexico.The eldest Hale broke out of Eichen House during the time the Dread Doctors wrecked havoc Beacon Hills.Theo obviously assisted Peter.Scott didn't forgive what he couldn't forget.Theo gaslighted all the members of his pack to incite them to reject their Alpha.He corrupted Liam his first Alpha after manipulating Brett to break ties with Satomi Ito.Slowly Theo was forming his own pack.He took advantage of Lori's death for brainwashing Brett into joining him like he benifited from Hayden's murder with Liam.Scott supposed Theo killed both of the girls.Theo was a serial killer and overall a young Peter Hale.Now Theo was going to influence his own fiery mate to reject Scott.

Scott promised to deflate Theo's ego.Theo would regret messing with his mate.Jackson was His.That annoying son of a bitch had no right to touch Jax or having sex with him! Now Raeken claimed him and changed his mate!How dare he!Scott growled.The True Alpha wished Jax stayed human to protect him from hunters.Now his adorable grumpy mate became a target for them and other wicked creatures like vampires or wendigos.

New clans of hunters were lurking around Beacon County.Alpha Satomi Ito warned him they didn't respect the code.They already liquidated two of his Betas,one of them was Lori,plus a coven of vampires who lived in Devenford.The pack Ito hadn't recovered from Peter's Deadpool list yet.Their packs with the support of Chris Argent had the word cut out to defend their territory, preserve the supernatural secret and stop a war against those rogue hunters. Raeken only complicated a tricky situation.

Theo essentially raped Jackson!Scott was sure Theo used his Alpha powers to force Jax to sleep with him.Scott snarled.He should've listened Kira when she suggested sending Theo to hell with her sword.The town would be safer.Theo was a tumor they let fester for too long.Scott ignored how he became an Alpha but he surely knew Theo didn't deserve that honor.

Lydia accepted to help Jax catching up with five years of mundane education before he joined Scott in Beacon Hills High School. Scott was really looking forward to study with his gorgeous mate.

The first act he had to carry on was to free Jax from Theo's clutches.Once the pack finished with him Theo would sleep in a tiny cell of Eichen House soon like his model Peter when Scott dealt with him.The manipulative werewolf never outright defied his pack again.Still Scott planned to help Jackson handling his first full moon.He cursed Theo.
