A gorgeous black stallion can be seen running through the fields and across the country. The wind in its hair and happiness swirling in his chest. A silver collar with emerald gems gleams in the sunlight of the countryside. Harry is in bliss running free to Hogwarts. He has asked for directions from Dobby on how to get to Hogwarts and now he is following the tracks. Beyond the distance, Harry can see the speeding train and he snorts glad he is on the right path. He didn't get on the train because he didn't want to get bombarded by Hermione and everyone where he has been.
When he arrived at Riddle manor, it was so dark and gloomy, so he changed it up a bit. The huge amount of books in the library helped him transform and expand the house into a mansion. The black walls are repainted due to chips and strips of the paint rolling on the wall, the dust disappeared and the carpets are replaced with new red ones. Silver chandeliers appear on the ceilings and the depressive atmosphere was changed. It exhausted Harry for using so much magic but he had a right in making it his home. He didn't change so much so Riddle won't have a fit. He didn't want to get on the train due to wanting to run wild and free for once in his life. The feeling of the wind in his hair is amazing and he finds himself laughing to himself as the wind tickles his scalp.
Harry doesn't want to be asked questions about the silver collar so a simple strong glamour keeps it hidden. Not even Dumbledore would be able to demand things from him or try and become a handler to control Harry. Like he keeps saying he is free. During the summer he did write to Ron and Hermione that things are well but he didn't mention that he got into his creature inheritance and got a handler. He also sent a note to remove the Weasleys as handlers from the list. Riddle is fine due to him never coming back.
His hooves stomp on the grass and he keeps a nice pace to run almost half of the planet to get to Hogwarts. Jumping over a small hill, he is now closer to the train and he pushes his pace to run faster. Soon he is racing the train on his left and he loves it. The adrenaline is breathtaking and exhilarating. Did his father enjoy running as a stag? Harry hopes his father did because this rush is even better than flying on a broom. Looking at his side, he sees Hermione and Ron looking out the window and looking down at him. They don't know who he is and just think he is an ordinary horse. Harry neighs a hi at them before slowing down his pace saving his energy for the rest of the way. He slows down to a cart near the end of the train and Malfoy's face is poking out. Their eyes meet and time slows down. Harry sees the ferret gawk at him and his eyes cast to his silver collar. Their eyes meet again before Harry shakes his head and runs to the right to not slam into the rock wall of the tunnel. Jumping up on the hill he runs and jumps down back on the grass getting further away from the train track.
It is nighttime once more when Harry arrives at Hogwarts and he had to take a secret route on the edges of the forbidden woods to enter Hogwarts grounds. He slows down panting and walks slowly out of the forest resting before he can shift and join his schoolmates. Heaving in human form, he summons the hidden school robes he placed inside the bigger emerald in the center of his collar. He couldn't carry the clothes in his mouth so he found a charm to hide his clothes in the gemstone. Now in his robes, he takes a step forward to head to the castle but the goblin from before appears.
"Mr. Potter, a lovely night isn't it?" Harry wonders why he keeps saying that.
"What is it?" Harry and the goblin walk past Hagrid's hut not wanting to waste time in getting to the castle.
"I forgot to inform you, at school due to Riddle not being able to look out for you, you need a supervisor handler to check on you." Harry groans and stops walking. "So, who among the other handlers did you wish to make as a supervisor?"
"First what will the supervisor do?" Harry looks down at the goblin.
"The supervisor handler will keep an eye on your studies and when you undergo heat, the supervisor will provide you a pass to skip your classes due to the scent you will give off to everyone that can mate with you." That is disgusting. "If you need help or are in trouble, the supervisor will get a ring in his or her mind to what is happening and where you are."
"anything else?"
"Other than those details, the supervisor must abide by the rules that he cannot get close to you in a relationship. All the supervisor can do is give you a pass of absence during your heat and help save you from trouble and be a friend. That is it."
"Who are the supervisors?" They stop before the entrance of the courtyard.
"Severus Snape, Albus Dumbledore, Fred, and George Weasley."
"Why the twins?"
"They are older students. The supervisor must always be older than the creature." Harry nods and doesn't need much time to decide.
"Fred and George Weasley. I trust them." The goblin writes something down before pulling out a bell and ringing it.
"Hiya Harry." They emerge from behind. "What is going on?"
"Mr. Fred and George Weasley, you are to be Mr. Harry James Potter's supervisors. Mr. Potter has recently gotten into his creature inheritance and due to his creature being a domesticated animal, he has a handler, a mate, and a supervisor. Mr. Potter has chosen you two to be his supervisors. Do you accept?"
The twins look at each other before looking at Harry. Harry is slightly nervous about the twin's response. They play pranks but they have always had his back. Will they deny this position?
"We accept." They say in unison
"Don't worry so much Harry," Fred says.
"You are safe with us." Harry smiles and scoffs a laugh at George's wink.
"Thanks, guys." The goblin clears his throat and gives a sheet of paper to the twins.
"This is your responsibility as his supervisor. Good luck and goodnight." The goblin leaves them there.
"Wow, a purebred black mare. That is rare."
"Aye mate but you have no fear. We won't tell anyone." The twins step in line beside Harry as they walk to the great hall.
"Thanks, guys." They nod and enter the hall. Harry's silver collar is already hidden under its glamour and he can relax.
"Harry, where have you been? You weren't even on the train." Hermione quickly and immediately demands.
"Hi to you too Hermione." Harry's mood decreases and agitation arises.
"Easy on him, Granger. He was with us discussing and giving us hints on some pranks."
"What about the train? We searched and you weren't there with them Harry."
"He was. We just put the cloak on him so he can rest." Harry nods to the lies the twins tell Hermione.
"You guys said he went to the bathroom," Ron speaks up.
"We didn't want you to disturb him. Lay off Ronnykins." Harry chuckles with the twins.
For the rest of dinner, everyone caught up with summer events. Hermione spoke about all the books she read over the summer. Ron ate like usual with no limits and still remain skinny. The twins did sit a bit further away to talk to Neville and they winked at Harry helping ease his nerves. Overall everything went smoothly.
Well, almost everything. Harry did catch eyes with Snape that is glaring at him and Draco who keeps staring at him like the jealous prat he is. He wonders if they knew of the creature's inheritance since they were part of the list of potential handlers. Draco surely shouldn't care so much since the two aren't in a good standing friendship. Snape though is a wonder. He should be glad to not be dealing with his ass but Harry also finds Snape would love to whip at his hind. Harry surely made the right choice in choosing someone that isn't even there. Although the thought did cross his mind that if Riddle doesn't return, what does that mean for Harry? Will someone else be chosen to be the handler or does Harry live on free?
"Harry! Can you get your head out of the clouds and listen to me." Harry lifts his gaze to the witch screeching at him like a barn owl.
"Sorry." Hermione huffs and continues talking.
"We need to study harder since we are now going to be taking newts. We need to cover everything if we are to pass. Ron, will you stop eating, you are the one with the average scores." Harry smiles when Hermione begins beating Ron's arm.
"Ease off, will you? We got plenty of time." Harry flashes a frown at them and sighs. He would gladly go off on a run if it means returning to being happy. Hermione constantly studies but does she even practice the spells? That is one thing Harry wanted to do is find someplace to begin practicing his magic and get stronger. He wants to make things difficult for his handler and mate to deal with him. Harry is very well aware of Tom and knows if Harry is weak that just means Tom will be tough. Not on his watch and by the time Tom does come back, he will be in a big surprise. Harry and the rest of the gang get up from their seats and go to their dorms for an early night's rest. Due to the long and tiring run, when Harry's head hits the pillows he is out like a light.
