Chapter 1 -

Narcissa Black really didn't know what she was doing right now, not that she would admit it to anyone. As far as everyone else was concerned she always knew what she was doing. But this was one of the few cases where she didn't. She had worked out that her cousin Sirius, who was the same age as her and both in their sixth year, was going out at night with his friends. She had just found out after overhearing a few first years while she was on the way back to the Slytherin common room.

She was tempted to go to the Gryffindor common and talk him out of whatever reason he had for going out but had to quickly go back to the Slytherin common room before someone caught her breaking curfew. She had barely managed to sneak out later without getting caught. Why was she sneaking out to stop him some might ask.

The reason was simple, Sirius was her family. Her second favourite cousin after Regulus, Sirius's younger brother, who was two years younger than her.

Narcissa's family, despite being one of the most famous and wealthiest families in Britain, was not a happy one. Her parents and uncle and aunt were always complaining about one thing or another, sometimes muggleborns or sometimes Dumbledore or even what other people wear when they go out. Her grandfather, while kind to her, always had a look of disapproval when he looked at the adults. Or at least she thought it was disapproval, her grandfather was a hard man to judge.

Her oldest sister Bellatrix was forced to marry that pig Lestrange thanks to her parents signing a magical contract, Narcissa desperately wanted to help her out but there was nothing she could do. Her other sister Andromeda had run away from home with a muggleborn, while Narcissa was happy for her she sort of wished that Andromeda had taken her as well.

Right now Narcissa was following Sirius and his three friends, they thought they were unfindable under their invisibility cloak but Narcissa had the good fortune of being able to use her eyes and ears decided to follow the tracks they left in the grass and listen to them bickering. She followed behind them by disillusioning herself, she usually would've just stopped them by now but she wanted to know what they were doing so she could understand why Sirius was out.

She watched as Sirius, his best friend James Potter and his other friend the lumpy little Peter Pettigrew appear after removing what appeared to be an invisibility cloak. James Potter, while a handsome boy was not someone who she would consider going out with, even if she was the boy was too busy chasing after the muggleborn Evans girl. Peter Pettigrew was not what she considered handsome, nor was he what most people considered handsome. She also found him quite creepy to be honest and she had no idea why Sirius hanged out with him.

Her eyes widened when she saw Peter Pettigrew shrink and turn into a rat, she saw him move towards the whomping willow, a horrible tree with the desire to hit anything that got close, she had no idea why the teachers left it on school grounds. A few moments later the tree stopped moving, she assumed that Pettigrew had done something to freeze it. Sirius and James walked into the hole under the tree and she followed, glad that she had taken the precaution of silencing her feet.

Pettigrew had transformed back and the three began walking with Narcissa following after them, she was also hoping that Sirius wasn't doing anything too dangerous or illegal. She followed the trio up into a room where they found Remus Lupin, the fourth member of Sirius's group, Remus was a plain looking and quiet boy and undoubtedly the smartest among them, at least in a school sense.

"You all right Moony?" James asked Remus, causing Narcissa to frown slightly. Her cousin and friends had a habit of calling each other strange nicknames. As far as she understood Pettigrew was called Wormtail, Potter was called Prongs, Sirius was called Padfoot and she had just now confirmed that Lupin was Moony. Though now that she thought about it, she understood why Pettigrew was called Wormtail, his rat tail looked like a worm. Were all four of them Animagus's?

"I'm fine." Remus sighed. "I just..." Remus trailed off as his body stiffened.

"Are you alright mate?" Sirius asked.

"I smell something!" Remus said in an alarmed voice.

"Oh, I brought bacon." Peter said as he pulled out a small box. "That's probably why."

"No not that! Somebody else is here!" Remus said as his nose began twitching and sniffing in the air. Sirius and James turned and began firing detection charms faster than Narcissa would have expected them to, knowing that she was about to be caught she cancelled her charm and made herself visible.

"Narcissa?! What are you doing here?!" Sirius blurted out while he, James and Peter were berating themselves for not bringing the map with them.

"I was following you!" Narcissa hissed. "I can't believe you four are sneaking out just to play animagi! While I know that's impressive it's not something you should risk expulsion and Azkaban for!"

"Cissy, you don't understand!" Sirius replied, using her nickname.

"Don't 'Cissy' me!" Narcissa said. "This is dangerous!"

"She's right about that, I'm changing!" Remus said. "Get her out quick!"

"Alright, you've got to get out!" James said in a commanding voice.

"Don't talk to me like that Potter!" Narcissa replied.

"No, you don't understand!" Peter said.

"I understand perfectly, you four are animagi and..."

"No, three of us are animagi!" Sirius cut her off just before Remus let out a scream of pain and fell to his knees. "One of us is a werewolf!" Sirius added and Narcissa's eyes widened as she looked at Remus who's eyes began changing as fur began sprouting.

"Oh shit he's smelled her!" Peter exclaimed as Remus's teeth began sharpening.

"Get out quick!" Sirius ordered as he transformed into a large black dog just as Pettigrew transformed into a rat and James transformed into a large stag.

Narcissa didn't need to be told twice and ran away, definitely not wanting to be in the same room or even the same building as a transforming werewolf. She ran as fast as she could, she ended up running down a tunnel, howling and roaring could be heard behind her, when she finally managed to get out she noticed that she was not in Hogwarts. She realised that she was just out of the shrieking shack, she ran and ran. Her breath was running out and soon she found herself in a forrest.

It was hard to run as it was dark, she had definitely not been prepared to run whilst being chased by a werewolf and she was also being chased by a werewolf!

She heard it gaining behind her, she heard its roars as it came closer. She tried to pull out her wand and tripped on a tree branch, she fell to the harsh and cold floor. Ruffling her clothes and grazing her knees as she did so, her wand fell put of her hand just as she heard a growl behind her. She looked back and saw a tall werewolf trying to get at her but was currently being held back by what she recognised as Sirius and James's animagus form.

She reached for her wand, not sure what she would do but it was better than not having it. She grabbed something that she thought was her wand, when she raised it she realised it was a wand but it was not hers. She didn't get much of a chance to take in how it looked seeing as it started glowing brightly, her eyes snapped shut and she felt it rip out of her hands.

Moments later both the light and roars of the werewolf died down, she opened her eyes and saw that the werewolf and her animagus cousin plus his friend were staring at her. She slowly realised it was not her that they were staring at, that realisation came when she heard something next to her. She looked to her left and jumped in surprise.

She saw a pair of dark black boots, the leg were covered in a black material that looked like it was fused to the skin. She looked up and saw he was wearing a black shirt that clung to his body like a second skin, he also wore black robes and black gloves. The hood of his robes were up and no matter how hard she looked she was unable to see his face thanks to the shadows from the hood.

She didn't get much time to sort out how seeing this stranger made her feel as werewolf Lupin chose that moment to overcome his own shock, he struck Sirius and James away before charging towards them. She let out a small gasp of surprise, definitely not a scream, when she saw him rushing towards them. The stranger on her left raised his left hand and the werewolf froze, he rose it slightly and Lupin was raised into the air. Lupin growled and roared and tried to move but failed as the stranger's hold was too strong.

"Shall I kill him?" The stranger asked in an emotionless and monotone yet deep voice.

"Are...are you talking to me?" She asked.

"Yes," The stranger looked at her, he tilted his head slightly. "you are hurt." He said, it was not a question. He lowered himself down to his knee and began waving his hands over her, she stiffened slightly when she felt her knees healing and her clothes fixing and cleaning themselves before summoning her wand into his hand and placing it in hers. She looked at him with disbelief, he gently grabbed her hands and stood up before helping her up.

As she stood she noticed that he was taller than her, her chin just reached up to his shoulders. She could feel his gaze on her despite being unable to see his eyes thanks to the shadows from his hood and she could feel the intense magical power coming from him. Usually a high powered wizard would have to consciously push out their magic for such an effect, so she knew he was a powerful wizard even if he wasn't holding a werewolf in the air with wandless magic.

"Hey," A voice brought her out of her thoughts, she turned to see Sirius and James in their human forms looking at them. "who the hell is he?" James asked, looking braver and less afraid then he felt.

"Shall I kill him?" The stranger repeated, Narcissa noticed that he didn't even seem to have noticed Sirius or James.

"No!" Sirius shouted. "Don't kill him! Are you listening?!"

Narcissa couldn't help but think that the stranger wasn't listening, he was still looking in her direction. Not an inch of him moved, he seemed frozen in place. Narcissa also couldn't forget the fact that he was asking her if he should kill Lupin. She didn't know why he was asking her, nor did she know where he came from or why he was here.

"A...are you capable of killing him?" Narcissa asked the stranger. The stranger's head tilted slightly at this question, he raised his right hand in the air. Narcissa watched as all the nearby sticks rose into the air and suddenly changed into silver knives just as a circle of fire encircled the ground where Lupin was hovering above, silver and fire being the two weaknesses of werewolves.

"Yes." The stranger said with a small nod. "Shall I kill him?"

"No!" James and Sirius shouted, but the stranger once again ignored the two in favour of awaiting for Narcissa to respond.

"Can you knock him out without hurting him?" Narcissa asked.

"Yes." The stranger replied.

"Do that, don't hurt him and don't kill him." Narcissa said, yes Lupin had tried to kill her but Lupin was still her cousin's friend and she knew enough about werewolves to know that Lupin wasn't in control. That didn't mean she wasn't going to spend a lot of time later shouting at him for being around Lupin on a full moon, animagus or not.

The stranger nodded, he pointed his right finger at Lupin and a small light shot from the tip of his finger and struck Lupin, an unconscious Lupin floated down onto the floor. Narcissa blinked at the ease in which the stranger knocked out Lupin, werewolves were resistant to magical spells and no single wizard could knock out a werewolf with a stunner. But then again no single wizard could use wandless magic with the same ease as this person.

She turned back to him and blinked hen he was no longer in front of her eyeline, she looked down and a look of confusion came across her face as she saw him kneeling down in front of her with his head bowed down.

"Um...who the hell is he?" Sirius asked. "Cissy, do you know him?"

"No, I don't." Narcissa shook her head in the negative. "Who are you?" She asked him.

"I am your servant mistress." The stranger replied.

"Mistress?" Sirius asked just as James blurted out "Servant?".

"There must be a mistake." Narcissa said, she was pretty sure she hadn't done anything to gain a servant.

"There is no mistake mistress, I am yours until the day you die." The stranger replied.

"Who the hell are you?!" Sirius demanded.

"What is your name?" Narcissa asked after several moments of the stranger not answering Sirius.

"I am Death." The stranger answered.

"Death?" James snorted in disbelief. "Yeah right."

"What is your real name?" Narcissa asked. This time the stranger didn't answer her immediately, he shifted slightly but remained silent. Narcissa suspected he wasn't going to answer, she opened her mouth to speak when he proved her wrong and finally spoke.

"Harry Potter." He said.

"What?!" All three said at the same time.

"James, you know him?" Sirius said as he gestured to the stranger.

"How can I know if I know him when I can't even see his face?" James replied.

"Stand up and remove your hood please." Narcissa said. Harry did as he told and stood up before removing his hood and revealing his face. Narcisssa, unlike James and Sirius, managed to hold back a small gasp of surprise as she looked at him. He possessed the famous black and messy Potter hair, his face was a lot like James except his face was slightly slimmer and with higher cheekbone. The biggest difference was the eyes, James had brown eye, this 'Harry' did not. He had bright emerald green eyes that shined against the dark of the night, green and enchanting eyes that looked like magic itself flowed through them.

"Bloody hell Prongs!" Sirius exclaimed. "He look like a love child between you and Evans."

Now that Narcissa thought about it, she realised Sirius was right. Those eyes did remind her of Lily Evans, the muggleborn in her year that James always chased after since the start of first year. Except Harry's eyes were brighter but that could've been a magical trick.

"I...I've never seen this guy before in my life!" James said in a shocked voice as he looked at Harry with disbelief, not that Harry noticed as his gaze was firmly on Narcissa.

"I'd like proof that I'm your mistress." Narcissa said.

"As you wish." Harry nodded, his eyes flared green for a second and a red line appeared, the line connected the two. "If that is not sufficient proof then I am willing to provide a magical oath or unbreakable vow." He said, his voice never once leaving the realm of calm. Narcissa's eyebrows shot up in surprise at what the stranger was offering and it wasn't something that people offered lightly, as both could cause irreversible damage if broken with the former possessing a high chance of killing you thanks to loss of magic while the second guaranteed death if broken.

"Mistress, you look tired." Harry noted suddenly. "Shall I take you back to your room?"

"I...I am quite tired." Narcissa admitted. She was about to continue speaking when Harry gently grabbed her by the arm, in the blink of an eye Narcissa found herself in her room. Fortunately each Slytherin got their own private room so she didn't really have to explain this to anyone yet.

She stumbled back and fell onto her bed in shock at what just happened, this 'Harry' had already broken reality with his unrealistic abilities in wandless magic but he had also managed to somehow not be affected by the anti-apparition wards that Hogwarts possessed. Either that or he had some other way to travel and she felt like that was more likely as she had side-apparated before and what just happened felt nothing like that. It was far too comfortable to be apparition.

"Mistress, would you like a drink?" Harry asked as if he hadn't just done something out of the ordinary. At this point all Narcissa was capable of was just nodding.

A.N: Hi guys, hope you liked this story. Just an idea I had and I just felt like I couldn't not write it. This isn't going to be a very long story, I don't think it'll go over twenty chapters, might not even go over ten. I haven't really decided yet. Anyway, let me know what you think.
