***** Chapter 1: Chaos *****
Chapter 1: Chaos
June 6th was D Day or the envision of Normandy. When Helena's phone rang at 6:
30. am, it confused the hell out of her. She didn't know the number. She and
Thomas were just about to go on their morning run, like they did every morning.
So she answered knowing it would only be one person.
"Iggy?"
"Lena shit is all fucked up here! People running around shouting in Latin!"
"Where are you?"
"At our spot in south bank! By the Eye!"
"Hide. We are on our way."
Helena hung up and made several calls. Within minutes 20 people stood in her
foyer at the ready. Helena would be going for Iggy, Thomas would no doubt
follow. Iggy was their tip off and he was like a brother to her. She would not
allow anything to happen to him.
When they arrived at south bank it was total chaos. Muggles were running and
screaming, laying dead in the street. Helena took Thomas's hand and led him
thru the chaos. They took down and bound as many Death Eaters as they came
across, collecting wands. They were starting to understand what Harry had
already lived thru once and was living thru again just for them. They owed him
their lives.
When they ducked into the alley Helena knew Iggy would be hiding in, they
looked out into the chaos they had run thru. The triad out shined them all as
they led the way to the center of the chaos. Spells flew every which way and
the muggles were starting to duck and hide behind them realizing they were the
good guys.
Turning around she sighed in relief as Iggy knelt beside her. He didn't have a
mark on him.
"Iggy, this is a port key. It's going to take you to our house. Follow the
smell of coffee into the kitchen. We will be there as soon as we can."
Iggy nodded and took the offered key chain. Helena took a deep breath as Iggy
vanished. He was safe.
"Back into the chaos. Stay with me." Helena said softly
Thomas kissed her quickly and they rejoined the fray. By this time back up had
arrived as a modified dark mark was shot into the air. The skull and the snake
now had a jet black Phenoix behind it. Dumbledore had taken the place of the
new dark lord.
Before too long Harry stood face to face with Dumbledore on London bridge. A
helicopter circled them broadcasting live. There would be no covering this up.
This war would be fought across both worlds.
"What have you done Albus?!" Harry shouted in rage
"I am finishing what I started in Germany all those years ago! Find the new
ones Harrison! Find the ones that were my back up plan!"
Harry cursed knowing exactly what he meant. The question now was when and how
many.
"This world will be mine to control! You will lose! And the children will be
mine once again!"
Before Harry could reply, Dumbledore was gone. Harry screamed in rage as he
turned to get a head count.
"Me and Luca are here Daddy!" Emile called
"Lena and Thomas!"
"Mum and dad!"
Shouts were called out as Harry got his anger under control. Now they were left
to clean up the mess. And it was a total mess.
"Dad, that one," Harry said pointing to Severus "please handle the press.
Inform them that they will hit an invisible barrier as we work on clean up. I
need the local authorities called. Dad, Sirius take the auroras and start
collecting death eaters. Lets get started so we can go home. Break off into
groups and fan out."
Everyone did as they were instructed and clean up began. They knew to ignore
the press without being told. They knew as soon as they got started it wasn't
going to take long to set to rights. This was old news for most of them.
***
Harry took them back to Wolf Manor so they could talk to Iggy. Later that
afternoon he had an appointment to give an interview and it wasn't something he
was really looking forward to. Breakfast was in full swing and Helena knew the
handlers would put Iggy in the kitchen to keep the kids comfortable.
"Where in the hell have you been? Worried wouldn't even begin to cover it."
Iggy snapped over his breakfast
"Really? Remember who's house your in. We need - Wilbur you are amazing."
Everyone laughed as they gathered in the kitchen and helped themselves to
breakfast. Remus and Iggy were starting at each other.
"Hyde Park. I play there." Iggy said
"We all must've kept crossing paths. I remember seeing you with Lena. She was
with you for how long?"
"A year and a half. She joined a pack in June. Told me about a cure that she
wanted to try. I didn't want her to go. I was terrified."
"That's how she found us. She's my daughter now. This is Severus, her dad. I'd
seen Thomas around too. Everyone I have ever met in passing has come here. No
magic?"
"No. Just a really good friend. Where in the hell did she go?"
"To get dressed, we have plans today. Grand dad, your staying here right?"
Emilie asked
Severus nodded, not really wanting them to go out at all. But they were getting
ready for a vacation, shopping was required.
"Actually their moving here." Helena said as she entered the kitchen
"Can you run in those?" Luca asked
Helena looked down at the brown boots she wore and smiled. Then she looked at
little Kennedy in her arms.
"Tell uncle Luca he is being silly. Of course mummy can run in heels. Iggy,
this is one of our youngest. This is Kennedy, Thomas has Kaiden."
Iggy sighed. This was not the Helena he knew. His sweet little sister had grown
into a young women. He felt disconnected.
"I think I should go."
"Would it be that hard to adjust? Give it a week. Why won't you let me help
you?"
"Lena, I've been out there along time."
"It was 5 years for me."
"Nearly 30 for me and I will be 38 in July." Remus said softly "Would a tent in
the back yard make you more comfortable? I understand the adjustment time. When
I moved into the manor I had to sleep with the windows open."
"Still do when it's warm enough." Severus muttered "It doesn't drive me
completely nuts anymore."
"I've been on my own since I was 5. I ran away from an orphanage. I'm sitting
in one."
"And I have 4. What's your name?"
"Donovan, I've always gone by Iggy. What are you doing?"
Harry said nothing as he set up the heritage spell. Iggy was totally trusting a
man he had just met doing god knew what. He sat and watched as words began to
appear on the page, shocked.
"This will tell you exactly who you are and where you have came from. It will
go back several generations. Mine and Thomas' are about 4 inches thick. Lena,
parchment."
Helena handed Harry more parchment as it kept going. Iggy sat shocked as it
kept going. He knew nothing of himself and easy sure he wanted to. So he sat
back.
"You read it."
Harry picked up the top page and nearly dropped it.
"How old are you?"
"18 last month."
Harry closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Severus was going to shit a brick
then get angry. Without a word Harry handed over the parchment.
"That old filthy son of a bitch." Severus cursed "You are my son Donovan. My
son."
Harry took Iggy's hands in his and quickly explained everything they had been
dealing with. There was a very good chance that Iggy was bound tighter then
Dudley had been.
"Ok. I need a map and blood from everyone in the room. I have a feeling and I
don't like it."
Helena brought Harry the map as he enlarged the table. Iggy went and stood
beside Severus, taking the parchment from his hand. As he read he became more
confused.
"Dad, add yours then go talk to Iggy. I think there's an intake room here. The
house elves are at your disposal."
Severus added his blood to the map and led the boy off. When he closed and
spelled the door, he was totally last as to what to actually say. The boy just
stood there starting at him.
"I don't do well with emotion. I wish I knew about you. Your mother was
actually killed a year before you were born. The man who did this killed her,
she was pregnant at the time. The same man who started the chaos today."
Severus sat down as Iggy collapsed onto the sofa. Severus started to talk and
Iggy listened. The man was his father and was telling him about all the
mistakes that he had made. He had siblings that his father and Remus had
adopted at birth. He was a member of a family.
When Severus went quiet, Iggy started talking. He was born at the orphanage, he
ran away at 5 unable to take it anymore. He'd bounced around alot, not really
staying in one place very long. Something about Hyde park had kept him there.
And he was starting to figure out what it was.
"It was so I could finally be found. So what now?"
"You are an adult, I can not answer that. This is Helena's house but I know
she'd let you stay."
Iggy nodded and stood, as did Severus.
"One thing I never got growing up, was hugs. Can I have a hug?"
Severus smiled and opened his arms. He held the boy tightly, both laughing
slightly.
"You need a bath. I'll have Harry and Remus take you back to Potter manor to
get cleaned up. There's alot of affection in this family, hugs are never on
short supply." Severus said
"Yeah. And you smell like sandalwood and vanilla. Why is that?"
Severus shrugged as he led Iggy back out into the kitchen.
"Remus can you take Donovan home and get him set up please? Lena has the house
elves setting up the guest house for him. I need dads brain." Harry said
staring at the map
"I can do that. Harper is teething, I need to check on her. I'm going to bring
them back."
Severus nodded knowing he would need help. Harry was making a list, it was
going to be a very long afternoon.
***
Severus sat in the playroom with Iggy as he watched him play with the toddlers.
After he had cleaned up and excepted the potion to take the dreads out of his
hair, he did look a lot like Severus. He was about 6 foot tall, brown eyes, ink
black hair. He was really thin and as soon as he was use to regular meals
Severus thought he'd fill out.
"Dad, should I have everything unbound?"
The question caught him off guard as Harper chewed on his knuckle. The dad part
he was use to hearing, a lot of the family called him dad.
"We can train you. You wouldn't be doing it alone Donovan. And no I will not
call you Iggy, get use to it."
"No one will now. Lena started calling me Donnie, she's dear to me so I will
allow it. Is she still getting really bad headaches?"
"What do you mean still?"
"She didn't tell you then. The migraines are nearly constant. There were days
when she would just lay in the tent, for weeks sometimes. It scared the hell
out of me."
"How did you deal with it?"
Donovan put his head down and shook it. That was Helena's story, she asked for
it, told where to get it.
"Well, looks like I need to have a talk with my daughter. I know what your not
telling me. See, the potions are only so effective and build up. What your
referring to actually lasts longer. I wonder if Thomas knows?"
"He knows. He keeps her secrets well. Dad, is there something we can do?"
"Have he see Eli again, maybe Harry. Harry is really good at a lot of things.
He's going to become a licensed healer next month. Level 1 potions master.
Level 1 defense master. He just keeps going."
"Tell me why he calls you dad."
Severus looked at his son and smiled. It was a lot more complicated then
everyone thought it was.
"Put simply, I was the one who always showed up and pulled his ass out of
trouble. The last time I was the only one to show up. Let me tell you a story."
Donovan smiled as Severus began. This promised to be a good one.
***
Harry stood in the lobby of the television station with Dudley, he was
extremely nervous. He did not want to be there. There were so many things that
he needed to be doing and this was not one of them.
"Mr.Malfoy-Potter, if you will follow me please."
Harry took a deep breath and stood. Oh he had so many things to kill Dumbledore
for, this was at the top of his list. He and Dudley were led into a room set up
for the interview. Dudley sat off to the side within his line of sight so he
could focus.
The interviewer walked in and Harry stood to greet her. She was a short blond
women he'd seen on the news for years. She was good at her job.
"Mr.Malfoy-Potter, pleasure to meet you. Im Rebekkah Anderson. All I am going
to do us ask you questions. We are going to go live in 5 minutes and we will
provide you with a copy of the interview. I'm still very confused."
"I expect you would be. It's a lot to take in all at once. I was 11 and my mind
was totally blown. Thank you Wilbur."
The elf bowed to the women as he handed Harry his 'Worlds Best Daddy' travel
mug.
"He's a house elf and a very good friend of mine. I would be lost without him."
"Nice to meet you." Rebekkah said softly
"Like wise. I will know if you need anything and no Harrison running is not an
option. Laila and Paige will want to see you this afternoon. And Maddox is
having fits again."
"Thank you Wilbur. And I know, doesn't mean I don't want to."
"As Draco would say 'duh'."
Harry laughed as Wilbur vanished with a pop. Leave it to Wilbur.
"I'm trying to wrap my head around that one."
"It's a headache in the making, just go with it."
When they went live, the women was totally professional. Harry was amazed at
the quick change.
"May I call you Harrison?"
"You may. I must warn you now however, that a lot of the things you are going
to ask about have very long answers. This is a very long and complicated story;
with enough twist to make your head spin."
"Understood. Who are you? The man."
"I don't come of age until July 31st. I'm only 16. I'm the clandestine hero,
spoken of in prophecy for a millennia. I am exactly what I was born to be. I
wear many hats daily as I move thru life. I'm a son, brother, uncle, friend,
husband, and father. I tested out of school last summer when things started to
get real with all the prophecies.-"
"Can you please explain that?"
"Yes. Remember the headache warning. Emilie explains this better. Merlin made a
prophecy about the Heir of All, which is me, and the Heir of the house of bad
faith. Follow?"
"Malfoy. Yes, I follow."
"And you know Latin, good. When I killed Voldemort last June, he brought Draco
with him. Draco had been in his hands for several days and was nearly dead.
When Voldemort fell dead, I was left on my own to save Draco. I actually lost
him 3 times before I could get him stabilized. That was June 15, I've been with
him ever since."
"Draco Malfoy? Why does that name sound so familiar?"
"The Malfoy's are upper class wizards, pureblood. Meaning that their blood line
has never mixed with a bloodline with non magic blood."
"Wouldn't that weaken the blood line?"
"Yes! And it still hasn't, but now it has been introduced to new magic, new
blood. I am at the head of a Triad, we have a wife Ginny. So, new blood."
"Who is Emilie?"
"Here we go. Albus Dumbledore, the other guy from the bridge, stole our DNA and
created children using a carrier. Emilie is 12, she is mine and Ginny's, our
eldest. Conner is almost 7 and he is Draco and Ginny's. Xavier is mine and
Draco's and he almost a year. Paige is Draco's sister who we adopted before his
mother passed at his fathers hand. Shes a year old. Liam and Laila are almost a
year and that's really complicated."
Harry quickly explained and the women just sat shaking her head. This boy was
something else.
"You have 6 biological children that you had nothing to do with?"
"Yes. But they were not the only ones. I have a brother a year and a half
younger then me that was conceived after our parents died.-"
"Your an orphan?! My god this story is massive!"
"And I haven't even gotten to the good stuff yet!"
"Good stuff?!"
Harry couldn't help but laugh at the look of shock on the women's face.
"I'm not normal even by wizard standards. So why don't you ask another
question?"
"I don't think they apply. They were silly really. Here you decide."
Harry took the woman's not cards and laughed. Everything on them required a
long explanation. So Harry had an idea.
"Dudley, how badly do you want that video camera and the computer?"
"Do you really have to ask that?! At this point - Wait! Catch 22, what am I
going to be enlisted to do?"
Harry smiled evilly at his cousin as he held up his credit card. He looked at
the women and winked, she hid her smile behind her hand.
"H, don't mess with me."
"I'm not. Go, I'll meet you there shortly. I'm being told off. We do not -
wait. Now we are. Mental connection, sorry. What the hell?"
Harry pulled out his cell phone and just shook his head.
"It's yell at Harry day. Again. Here take this too."
"Nope. Sorry. I am not running interference. Did that last week. You owe me."
Harry sneered at his cousin as he turned his phone off and shut down the link.
The women was trying not to laugh.
"You'll see. This is normal. I will meet you here at 8am July 3rd. I need some
time. I want everyone to see that we are totally normal. Well, to an extent. At
any given time there can be 400 people in my house. There are a lot of July
birthdays. Happens when you find a cure for werewolves and become friends with
every last one as they readjust to life. Yes I said werewolves, they are real.
And vampires. Unicorns. Dragons, Hungarian Horn tails are the worst. Mermaids.
Trolls really are very stupid. Well not Hagrid, but he's only half. Faries.
Nymphs. And several other things that you have never heard of."
"Do something simple. Then turn your phone on before you get in anymore
trouble."
"Oh, no one is very happy with me. Watch. This is a simple light orb."
Harry held the light orb in his hand, smirking.
"This would be a good night light. We use these in fact. It can be made
brighter to light a room, or to blind on the battle field."
"So the possibilities are limitless? Like I wanted these shoes in black but -
Oh! Yes! Sorry female moment. Thank you."
"For me there is no limit, I can only go as far as my mind takes me."
The women nodded and thanked him. After the camera was shut off, they sat for
another half hour planning. Harry had a statement to make.
*******
Friday, June 8th, Harry and the others acted on the information found on the
map. All of the children were being kept at the old camp and Dumbledore rigged
it. Harry spent hours listening to infants scream as he slowly dismantled the
wards. One wrong move and the building would explode.
Finally the last ward fell and Harry sat back totally exhausted.
"Search the entire house. Thomas, which room was his? He keeps record of
everything."
"The master. Top of the second flight of stairs. I'm going to come with you,
the room holds secretes."
Harry nodded knowing his brother would have nightmares that night. They entered
the house and searched it too to bottom. They found ledgers and letters from
clients setting up appointments. They found detailed files on every wolf that
had ever entered the house.
Harry took the boys upstairs as the women searched the lower floors. They
followed the screaming into one of the bedrooms off to the left. What they
found inside horrified them. The bodies of the mothers had just been tossed
aside, the infants in cribs not far away.
"We are getting them out of here." Harry said softly
Harry transfigured baskets and quickly they moved the infants into them. When
they got out into the hall Draco and Severus quickly went about cleaning and
feeding babies. Harry, Thomas and Luca checked over the other rooms on the
floor, thankfully they were empty.
"We have 3 boys and 5 girls. Traumatized, neglected, only a few days old. Go
get your information. We are burning this house down." Severus said
Harry nodded and followed Thomas up the stairs. Somehow the boy was finding
strength and Harry was thankful for it. Thomas reached out and opened the door,
stepping inside.
"Good job little brother. I'm right here." Harry said softly
"I lost my dignity in this room. My pride. My hope. When he was here I was his.
I can't wait to watch him die."
Thomas stepped into the room and started opening all the hiding places. Harry
just watched amazed. His brother had been Dumbledores pet and he knew things
that would destroy the man. He was an asset.
Harry didn't care what he was grabbing, he checked it for curses and stuffed it
in his bag. They needed to get out of there.
"Thomas, come on let's go home." Harry said softly
Thomas crossed to him and hugged him tightly. Harry returned the embrace
fiercely, knowing it was what Thomas needed.
"Don't ever let him near me I will kill him."
"I might just let you. Lets get out of here. We still need to find his main
base and destroy it."
Thomas nodded and led the way out of the room. He stopped to help carry infants
out, but then kept going. He felt like he was suffocating.
When he made it about 10 yards from the house, Thomas set the baskets down
gently before dropping to his knees. He was trying to remember how to breath.
"Thomas."
Thomas looked up at his brother and took a deep breath. Harry then held his
hand out and helped him to his feet.
"I want to teach you something. Come with me." Harry said softly
Harry led Thomas back up to the steps and stood behind him.
"I'm going to tell you why my spells are so powerful. I want you to close your
eyes and pull all your anger into your core." Harry whispered
Thomas took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Harry nodded, it was time for
Thomas to learn what he was truly capable of. It was time. Harry was the heir
yes, but Thomas carried the same power in him.
"Put your hands out in front of you and visualize that ball of energy in your
hands."
Harry smirked as a ball of red hot anger appeared between his brothers hands.
But it wasn't big enough.
"Good. Now, all the pain, the hatred, the fear, the guilt, the shame, all of
it. Push it into the ball."
Thomas pushed and started to feel like he was human again. Whatever Harry was
doing, it was working. Harry watched and was satisfied that Thomas was purged
for now.
"Remain calm and open your eyes. Do not move. Look at what you've created."
Thomas opened his eyes and looked at the energy ball. It was the size of a
beach ball, red hot. What in the hell was he?
"Now burn the house down. Destroy the place that nearly destroyed you."
Thomas took a deep breath and sent the ball thru the front doors. It shattered
upon impact and the house began to burn, hot and fast. He stood there
transfixed by what he had done.
"How do you feel?" Harry whispered
"Light."
"I may be the heir brother, but we come from the same magic. It's called a
purging. You did brilliantly."
"You teach well."
Harry laughed as he wrapped an arm around Thomas' shoulders. Together they
walked back over to the group, they just starred.
"A purge?" Draco nearly whispered
"Yeah, it was a bit over due I think. I figured Thomas had the right to destroy
the place. The purge was perfect for it."
"Does he always teach like that?" Thomas asked
"No." They all replied
"Funny. Now lets go home and figure out who belongs where and have them
recorded."
Baskets were gently collected and they gathered around Harry. With the burning
house behind them, they were gone.
***
As it turned out Dumbledore had shifted his focus. He had gotten his hands on
the kids, the eldest ones. Emilie and Luca were now the proud parents of tiny
boy girl twins. Helena and Thomas has another set of boy girl twins on their
hands. Severus and Remus had another son. Sirius and Sparrow had a set of boy
girl twins. Lilly and James had another daughter. And Dudley for some reason
now had a little girl.
"Aubrey Grace and Adrian Matthew Daddy." Emilie said softly
"Carson Daniel and Chloe Rose." Helena sighed
"Mason Nathaniel." Remus said softly
"Jack Orion and Sofia Isabel." Sirius grinned
"Claire Brooke." Lilly said
"Avery Hope. Oh my god. This is real." Dudley said softly
Harry sat back in his chair trying to come to terms with being a grandfather.
But it may have been the only chance Emilie was going to have to be a mother.
He watched as his daughter smiled at Luca, happily holding her tiny daughter.
It's was unreal and amazing at the same time.
"We need to find his base. He can just keep creating children. Go bond. I have
searching to do."
Harry watched as everyone followed Ginny out of the room. Helena and Thomas now
really hand their hands full, he hoped they would go help Emilie and Luca. Now
he was messing with the lives of his children, Harry had to find a way to stop
this at least.
*****
Helena made a choice later that night and need to talk to Thomas about it. She
held a fear that he would truly understand. As they lay in bed, she turned to
him, it was now or behind his back.
"Thomas, I want to have the hysterectomy. I'm terrified that I'll leave you and
the kids. I don't want that." She said softly
"It's your choice, I'll support that. I fear it too Lena. I'd rather have you
with us."
"I'll talk to Harry tomorrow. Thank you."
Thomas pulled her into his arms and held her close. He needed her and what ever
choices she made he'd follow, within reason. He'd be at her side thru every
step.

Author's notes: DAVID I LOVE YOU!!!!
===============================================================================
Chapter 2: Dream Teams
They did not want to leave their children. As bad as Emilie wanted to go to
Greece, she was now starting to understand what it meant to be a parent. Their
bags were packed, it was time to go and she had gone back to kiss the twins a
million times. Harry smiled at his daughter no longer worried that she'd
buckle. Very quickly they had adjusted and were doing very well.
"Emilie. Aubrey and Adrian will be just fine. Lena, same goes for you. Dad and
papa have all the help they need. Go." Harry laughed
The girls finally joined the boys and were gone. Harry expected Emilie to start
texting home every hour for the next 3 weeks to check in, but it was a small
price to pay. Besides, he and Dudley had work to do.
*****
Helena and Emilie had formed a plan before they had left for Greece. Thomas
needed basic training and they all needed to come together as a unit. Monday
thru Friday they would train. Saturday and Sunday they would relax. They were
as much apart of this as their parents and they refused to disappoint them.
It was their first night however and they had dinner reservations. They would
be taking the helicopter into Athens in just an hours time. The girls were in
the bathroom as Luca and Thomas dressed in the bedroom. They would go to their
own villa after they returned.
"I feel a little silly. I've never worn anything this nice before. I've never
gone out to dinner before." Thomas laughed nervously
"Nor have I."
They were dressed in black dress pants and blazers, Luca in a blue button up
Thomas on green. They both wore black tied and black loafers. This was a dinner
to celebrate what they had already accomplished.
When the bathroom door opened, the boys were left in shock. Helena was in a
tight strapless black dress that stopped just above her knee. Thomas knew that
beneath that dress were the garters that he loved so much, along with lace and
satin. He couldn't wait for the night to be over.
Emilie was in the same dress, only hers was royal blue. Thomas winked at Luca,
confusing him. If Helena had anything to do with it Luca was in for a very big
surprise later.
As the headed out to the helicopter, Thomas got nervous. He'd never flown
before. Ever. But he had Helena beside him, he could do anything. So he climbed
in and followed directions the pilot gave before taking one of Helena's hands
in both of his. She smiled at him as they rose into the air, she had no idea
what he had planned for the evening. He wasn't even really that nervous.
Dinner was fantastic. They had talked and made plans, laughed and joked. Then
the boys excused themselves to the loo and Thomas took the opportunity to
explain his wink.
"I need to explain something to you quickly. Lena in more at ease with her
sexuality then Emilie is.-"
"How in the hell you you know that?" Luca snapped
"I just do. Will you just listen and stop getting defensive? I'm trying to give
you some advice. It's what's under the dress that's going to shock the hell out
of you and that would be Helena's doing. She's trying to help Emi and it's for
you. Treat her as if she's made of gold. As if she is the only women who has
ever existed. Love her as if its the last time."
Luca crossed his arms and looked down at the floor. He was getting sex advice
from his wife's uncle. This was a little weird. But what he had said made alot
of sense.
"It's got to come from you too. Just roll with it."
"There's still alot of things we've never done. Why am I telling you this?"
"Because I won't judge you and I could care less. This is what I'm here for
Luca. This is what friends do."
Luca laughed and hugged his friend. They needed to get back to the girls before
they started to wonder. What Luca didn't know was that Thomas and Helena had
planned this and that Helena had been having the same talk with Emilie. Sex
would never be the same
They decided to skip desert and head off on their own for awhile. They would
meet back at the helicopter in 2 hours. They walked and Thomas just couldn't
wait. He led her over to the center of the square and dropped to one knee.
"A thousand time yes! Must you even ask!" Helena laughed
Thomas took her offered hand and took of her promise ring so he could fit it
into the engagement ring. The people in the center clapped and cheered as
Thomas got to his feet and pulled her into his arms. Without a care, he kissed
her deeply. He knew the answer, but he wanted the memories.
"You could've done that several ways." Helena laughed as she looped her arm
thru his
"It's more then that. I want the memories. Happy memories. I even asked if I
could properly do this. Yes we are mates, but I want more then that. Would you
like to get a coffee and waste time?"
Helena laughed and nodded as they headed to a small cafe. They sat close,
sipping coffee and talking as they watched the time. This was perfect and they
loved every minute of it.
***
Emilie was nervous as hell as they returned to the helicopter. They hadn't
really talked, they just walked and now she was doubting everything. Helena and
Thomas were totally at ease with each other. They completed each other in a way
that Emilie longed for. They needed privacy and they needed to talk. Urgently.
Bidding Helena and Thomas good night, they entered their own villa and just
started at each other. Luca sighed and held his hand out to her, she took it
terrified of the out come.
"Put the flats on honey. I'm going to take you out on the rocks." Luca said
softly "I spent the evening thinking and I'd like to share what I've
concluded."
Emilie nodded as she changed her shoes and allowed herself to be led. She
settled on the rocks with Luca behind her, his arms wrapped around her tightly.
He kissed a trail from her shoulder to her ear making her relax into him.
"I love you. I want to give you your engagement ring. I don't want anyone to
doubt it and I don't want you to either."
Emilie nodded and watched as he put the rings together then slid them back on
her finger. Now she needed to air her own dirty laundry.
"Lena has been giving me advice. I feel silly and insecure. Foolish."
"Seems I'm not the only one then. Why don't we go back up to the villa and we
can figure this out. I'm actually wondering what's under the dress since Thomas
said something about it. Can I not put the suit back on for awhile? If you
don't mind I'm going to strip down as soon as we get up there. Too stuffy for
me."
"We have a gala the 15th love."
Luca cursed as he helped her up the rocks. True to his word as soon as they
were in the house, Luca started stripping off his clothes. Emilie laughed as
she was handed things. The suits would go to the cleaners their next trip to
Athens.
She turned lights off as they made their way to the bedroom. By the time she
shut the bedroom door Luca was in his boxers.
"Do you feel better now?" She laughed
"Yes I do." Luca laughed
Emilie set the clothing in a chair before crossing to stand in front of him. He
had a look in his eye that she couldn't identify. Something had changed in him
and she didn't know what to think.
Luca pulled her to him as he found the zipper on the back of her dress. Slowly
he pulled it down without breaking eye contact.
"I do not want to think. I do not want to talk. I was told to treat you like
you were the only women alive. Like it would be the last time. So that's
exactly what I'm going to do. We are going to use this vacation to really know
each other. Starting now."
As her dress fell to the floor, Luca kissed her deeply. He wanted to see what
had been under the dress but he wanted to drowned in her even more. When she
pulled back and stepped out of his arms, he finally saw. Helena had her in
satin and lace, in garters holding up her stockings. She was in navy blue and
looked stunning.
As she climbed into the center of the bed, he got nervous. She had done this
for him. She was trying to connect with a side of herself she was just
beginning to explore.
"Are you going to join me or just stare?" Emilie asked softly
Luca climbed up onto the bed and knelt between her knees. He had to touch but
had no idea where to even begin.
"Yeah, I like this a lot actually. I kind of like the attitude that comes with
it." He said softly
"Then show me."
Luca kissed her deeply and turned himself over to the wolf and his feelings.
Now, he would take his time and show her how much he cherished her.
***
Thomas sat on a lounge chair in a pair of pajama pants as Helena did her thing
in the bathroom. He knew what she was doing and was a little nervous. He had
smoked before, as the potions came out of his system. It was the only way he
had been able to stop the headaches and the sickness. It was the same time he
would do things to feed his pack. When he was still too strung out to really
remember.
When she came out of the bathroom her dress was gone and she was wearing
fishnets and a silk robe. Without question he knew he was going to enjoy
whatever she had in mind for the evening.
"It's been awhile since I've done this. Since the escape actually."
"I'm not going to force the issue. But I am going to get rid of this headache."
"You need to see Harry about that."
"I will when we get home. We don't have to use anything anymore."
Thomas laughed as she sat in his lap. His hands couldn't help but roam, he
loved the feel of her.
"Damn, just a simple touch and I'm wanting more. Let me do this please, my head
is pounding." She said softly
Helena shifted so that her back was to him. Thomas could only smile, he had
more access to her when she sat this way. They sat there smoking, Thomas doing
as he pleased. He had never been stoned because he wanted to be. He had never
really done it to enjoy it. He was going to enjoy this.
"I'm floating." He said softly
Helena laughed as she lay back in his arms, enjoying his touch. Slowly he
inched her robe down her arms till she pulled them free. He wanted her top
less, he wanted to touch. Knowing what he intended, Helena arched and he
quickly worked the clasp.
"I want slow." He said "But I want to touch."
Helena said nothing as she closed her eyes and gave into the feelings. His
hands knew where to go. Where to touch, to tease. But he wasn't going to be the
only one enjoying himself, she had plans of her own.
Without a word, she sat up and turned around. With her knees on either side of
his hips, she didn't protest when he took her nipple into his mouth.
"Fuck." She moaned
Thomas pulled her closer as he switched sides, delighting in her. She pulled
back, gripping his hair to tilt his face up to hers. She had a look in her eye
that made Thomas shiver in anticipation. Before he could say anything however,
she was kissing him hard arching into him.
"Tell me, if I sucked you off do you think I could get you hard again?" She
whispered in his ear
"I know you could. Your still half dressed."
He leaned up so the lounger could be lowered. No one had ever done to him what
he did for them. An excitement raced thru him as he realized he was about to
understand a few things.
He watched her as she made her as she made her way down his body, unable to
help himself. He lifted up as she pulled his pajama pants down his legs and
tossed them aside. Then he forgot how to breath.
"Holy shit!" He finally cursed
She hummed taking him deep in her throat. He couldn't breath, his breath coming
in pants. He couldn't take his eyes off her as she sucked harder.
"Lena," He said breathlessly
Helena took him deep again as he came hard, milking him dry. He couldn't move.
He just lay there panting as she rose over him.
"I get it now. Holy fuck." He said softly
She just grinned as she kissed him. She needed to turn him back on. What she
didn't expect was to be put on her back as Thomas rolled them over on the
lounger. As he found the ties on her panties, she grinned. He liked her garters
and stockings on.
Thomas went to her neck as her panties were tossed aside. She closed her eyes
as he slowly made his way down her body. She knew what he had planned and
smiled. She loved when he went down on her.
She arched as his tongue took it first taste and within seconds he was driving
her crazy. She came twice before he sat up on his knees. He was hard again just
like she knew he would be.
"Why do you like the garters so much?"
"Because I know you wear them for me. I like the feel of the fishnet."
Helena closed her eyes and sighed as he ran his hands over the fishnet. The
kiss took her by surprise as he lowered himself to her. Without breaking the
kiss Helena reached down and angled him to her. He pushed in, breaking the kiss
to look into her eyes. He went slowly wanting it to last as long as possible.
The world melted away as he pick up the pace, driving them both over the edge.
They didn't move as the floated there in oblivion.
"Lets go for a swim. I'm not tired yet. I just want to finally just be with
you." Helena whispered
Thomas reached down and released the garters. Still inside her, he pushed
himself up so he could pull the fishnets off her legs. He wanted to prevent
slipping from her but he couldn't, kissing the inside of her knee as he did so.
After a quick cleaning charm, Helena stood and slipped the garters off her
waist. They spent an hour in the pool before hitting the shower. It was the
most time they had spent together totally alone. They loved it.
*******
June 15 they port keyed back to Potter manor in the afternoon to get ready for
the gala being held that evening in Harry's honor. They entered an argument.
Harry didn't want to dress, Ginny was insisting, and Draco was being drug into
the middle. Normally no one ever saw them fight so this was a pretty big deal.
It had been going on for awhile apparently because Harry was so frustrated he
actually shouted.
"Enough! I said I am not dressing for this and I will not! You can be angry all
you want to but I am the one who doesn't have a choice in showing up! I will be
there! But not as someone whom I am not! Understand?!"
"You really are an ass sometimes Harry! You could've helped me with this one!"
"I was nearly dead naked on the ground and for some reason I have to go. Sorry
love I'm with him on this one. I'm not dressing either."
Ginny stormed off towards the kitchen. She'd cool off, then go cold. Harry
needed to act fast.
"I hate it when she gets like that. Hi guys." Harry said grumpily
"You shouted at mum? You do that?" Emilie asked confused "Luca and I have our
arguments, we shout. I've never seen that before."
"I don't like you lot to see when we argue. We take it into another room. I'm
going to let her cool off then I will go talk to her. I promise."
"Well if their not dressing, I'm not." Thomas said crossing his arms "I know
what I can pacify you with, but I really don't want to."
"Nor do I." Luca put in
Helena looked at Emilie and they rolled their eyes. Harry watched as the girls
passed garment bags, as they started a conversation in Portuguese. After a good
5 minutes they nodded, giving up.
"There was a lot of whining in our arguments. We are just at the point where we
don't care. I think I'll wear what I like." Helena laughed "Pass the same to
the DA, make a statement."
"You are brilliant. Dray, can you help me with that?"
Draco nodded as he pulled out his phone smirking.
"What the hell am I going to wear?" Emilie asked
Helena got a gleam in her eye and led Emilie to the floo. She had an idea.
"Thomas text me what to bring back. No I can't read your mind."
"Really? Could have fooled me." Thomas smirked
Helena laughed as they quickly went to Wolf Manor. She wasn't going to go over
the top, but she had something in her closet that would look amazing on Emilie.
"I'm going to find our wife and apologize for shouting at her. Luca, the twins
are about to go down for a nap. If you hurry you can catch them. Thomas, hit
the floo. They have been asking for you."
Thomas smiled as he headed for the floo. He missed his kids, all of them.
***
Harry found Ginny sitting in the garden, sulking. They didn't argue often, but
when they did it went big. He sat down and pulled her to him, wanting her
close. Lilly and Molly were watching thru the window. They had never heard them
yell at each other like that before and it had shocked them silly. They hoped
Harry could fix it.
"I will not change my mind. It's not who I am. But in sorry for shouting at
you. I shouldn't have. Just please stop."
"I'm sorry too. I don't know why it's so important. It just is. I don't even
want to dress. It's the perfect time for Dumbledore to crash it."
"Then don't. We are who we are and they are just going to have to get use to
it. I'll help you pice something. But we are not walking thru the kitchen. Our
mothers have their faces pressed to the kitchen window. Wave hello and tell
mama we are fine."
Ginny laughed as she signed to her mother. Molly was passing the message to
Lilly as they spoke. Ginny looped her arm thru Harry's as they walked. He
really did piss her off, but she saw his point.
***
Helena grinned as Emilie's jaw dropped as she walked out of the girls closet.
Helena was holding up the white strapless dress that she had worn at Easter
along with several things brought from Wolf Manor.
"Now, let me hold my niece and go shower. Just trust me."
"Fantastic things happen when I trust you Lena. I forgot to thank you. You were
right."
"I told you. Yes, I totally agree. But I still need to talk to a few people. I
want to know something."
"Your my uncles wife. The other is my father. The other is my grandfather. I do
not want to know."
Helena laughed as Emilie went into the bathroom. As the door closed, Luca
walked into the room.
"There's my girl. Need my Aubrey fix if you don't mind."
"Not at all. I'll be right back, Emi is in the shower."
Luca nodded as Helena pulled out her cell phone and sent a message to Ginny and
Draco. She asked Ginny to bring Lilly with her. Quickly she made her way down
to the intake room and waited. A few minutes later Ginny, Lilly, and Draco
entered the room looking confused.
"Ginny, can you ward the door please?" Helena asked
Ginny did as she was asked and sat down next to Draco. Helena laughed at their
confused looks and sook her head.
"Nothing bad. I promise. I know the unspoken rule. But it's killing me. Are all
Potter men good in bed or am I just really lucky?"
Ginny started laughing as she and Draco both turned bright red. Lilly too went
red as she smiled.
"Yes." All three answered
"Good to know. Thanks."
Helena stood and started for the door when Draco stopped her.
"Why do you ask?"
"Ever felt like you'd melted? Been brought to the edge only to be held there?
I'm constantly surprised. I was just wondering if I was just really lucky or if
it was a family trait?"
"It would appear so. I've used those words." Draco laughed
"As have I." Lilly and Ginny sighed
"Fantastic kisser too." Draco said
"Too right." Helena agreed
Helena gave them a cocky grin as she walked out of the room. She needed to see
Thomas, she needed a kiss.
***
Emilie watched as Helena put her together and realized the girl knew what she
was doing. After her shower she had went ahead and put on her Easter dress and
waited. The afternoon before she had been talked into getting her nails done
and realized she liked that too. She may be a genius but stuff like this she
had no idea about.
Her make up was only slightly darker then she was use to. She had been out into
a brown waist clincher and navy blue and gold accessories. Over top the dress
was a navy blue duster sweater, to make her more comfortable. On her feet was a
pair of white strapy kitten healed sandals. Helena had set her hair in loose
curls and left it down. She looked amazing and realized that she could still be
a tomboy and wear a dress.
Helena was in a strapless tube dress with a iridescent blue under bust corset,
black stocking and heels Emilie knew she would never be able to walk in. Her
hair was curly today thanks to a potion her dad had made her. Her make up was
dark as always and she looked stunning as always.
Then she pulled on a black velvet blazer with ruffles and lace making Emilie
laugh.
"We need to go shopping. I need help. The girl stuff I don't do very well. I
need you to teach me." She said honestly
"And it's done. Emi, you are a lot like your mum. She can dress like she's just
one of the boys and get down and dirty with them. Or she can dress like a
goddess and have them on their knees. What's brought this about?"
"I want to feel pretty. Yes, I'm told daily that I'm beautiful. But I want to
feel it too. I feel like a frumpy bookworm. I don't like it. When I'm studying,
or dancing, or training yeah I'm fine with what I wear. But when I go out with
Luca, I want the looks I got that first night in Athens. I want the looks you
get."
Helena smiled and pulled her best friend into a hug. She was at the place
Helena was at not too long ago. Ginny had helped her, now Helena would pull her
in to help Emilie.
"We will help you. Your mum helped me and together we will help you find your
inner goddess. Come on, you look amazing."
"I feel amazing. I really like what I'm wearing."
"Then I think we've found your style. Now we just have to go with it."
Emilie laughed as she followed Helena. Oh she was nervous. No one had really
seen her this put together before. There was something that her dad needed them
to do before they left for something Dudley was doing for him.
When they walked down the stairs she took Helena's hand as everyone looked at
her in shock.
"Helena dressed me." She laughed
"You look great. They'll come out of their shock shortly." Ginny laughed "I
don't dress myself half the time either. This evening was your dad."
Ginny was in one of the favored out fits. She was in black twill skinny pants
and a short sleeved light blue button up with a black vest over top. On her
feet was her favorite pair of Jimmy's Chos.
Harry was in jeans and an emerald green button down with the sleeves rolled up.
Draco's shirt was light blue. They refused to dress.
"What we need you 4 to do really quick is think of a few words that best states
you before. I will write them on one of these cards. Then think of a few words
that states you now. Helena."
"Helpless. Terrified. Homeless. Empty."
Ginny wrote the words knowing that it was really what Helena felt.
"Happy. Loved. Wanted."
"Wow. Emi."
"Unwanted. Alone. Misunderstood. Now, I'm home. Where I belong."
Ginny smiled as she handed her the card.
"Lost. Burden. Outcast. Valued." Luca said
Ginny turned to Thomas and waited. There were so many things he could put on
that card. Hell he could fill several. Taking a deep breath, he looked up from
his shoes.
"Broken. Abused. Tormented. Trapped. I'm free."
Ginny handed him his card then pulled him into her arms. Hugging him tightly
she whispered I love you in his ear. It made him smile, he could never hear it
enough.
"Now, Emilie and Luca sit here and hold the card in front of you. When the red
light comes on, count to 5 and then turn your card over."
They rolled their eyes, then focused on Dudley. When he started recording they
counted to 5 and turned their cards. When the camera went off they switched
with Helena and Thomas so they could do the same.
"Thomas. I need to see you for a moment." Harry said
Thomas nodded and follows his brother into his study. The fire was going which
was odd because it was June. Then he saw a stack of journals and his stomach
turned.
"They are labeled. I was going to burn them, but it wasn't my place. It's
yours. The fire will burn until they are ash, Wilbur has passed the message."
Thomas sat on the coffee table in front of the fire and tossed the journals in
one by one. As he did so he felt himself get lighter. When he finished, he
stood and turned to Harry.
"I am still just so angry."
"You always will be. But you have learned how to let it go and live. Come
here."
Harry pulled his brother into a tight hug and just held on. Thomas was hugged
often, letting him know that affection was normal.
"I love you and I am so happy you found us."
"I love you too."
Harry smiled as he held on a few seconds longer. It was the first time Thomas
had ever returned the words to anyone but Helena. He was over joyed to be
gifted with them.
When they returned to the foyer, everyone turned. Thomas laughed at the
questioning looked they always seemed to get when they were together.
"I really do love you all. Your the best family anyone could ever have." Thomas
said with a smile
Harry backed up as Thomas was pulled into their mothers arms. Each member of
the family went in turn and Harry had never been so happy.
*****
They arrived at the ministry half hour late. Everyone was richly dressed and
looking rather full of themselves. The DA had waited for them outside, wanting
to make their statement in mass. Harry couldn't help the smirk that he couldn't
get rid of. It was time to make some waves.
When they walked in everything stopped. He heard someone muttering about dis
respectful teenagers and rolled his eyes.
"Harry! When are you going to be on time?!" Kingsley snapped
"Really? I thought you said party?"
Kingsley narrowed his eyes at him as Harry crossed his arms. The DA was trying
not to laugh knowing this is how the pair acted. The adults in the room however
didn't.
"The club is across the street. Are you sure you didn't get lost?"
"Remember that on Sunday."
Kingsley laughed and hugged Harry tightly. Greetings were passed out
cheerfully, shocking most if the room. Harry looked around and realized the
room was full of dignitaries and diplomats from all over the world. What a
nightmare.
"Emi, Im going to need you love. Luca can you stay with Draco and Ginny. Just
in case. This sucks."
The entire group nodded and scattered. Colin and Dennis were in charge of
photos, hired by Kingsley a month before hand. Luna would be handling the story
for the morning prophet. Hopefully they could call it an early night.
"Harry this is Prime Minister Cromwell. This is him."
Harry held his hand out to greet the man only to be looked at strangely.
"You have got to be having me on. This is a child."
Harry crossed his arms and rocked back on his heels. Kingsley pulled a face and
crossed his arms as well. Everyone who knew Harry, knew that when he crossed
his arms and rocked back on his heels that he was pissed. He had just been
insulted by a man he had just met and that he was going to have to work closely
with. It wasn't looking good.
"Now Daddy, don't lose your temper. You know how ignorant people can be. I like
the reaction when the realize you are actually my father." Emilie laughed
"Cromwell was it? We are at war. There is no better man to tell you what your
up against. Not only that sir, but the team he has at his fingertips would blow
your mind. So keep underestimating him, you will live to regret it. I'm sorry I
was rude, but it did have to be said."
Before Cromwell could say anything Harry's phone went off. He looked down at
the message and cursed.
"I need everyone to listen up! We have incoming! Sorry Kings, I have wolves
keeping watch."
"I do not blame you. Everyone to the back end of the ball room! Do so quickly
and orderly! Harry the auras are at your command."
Harry nodded and erected a shield. His wolves joined them just before Lucius
Malfoy walked into the room.
"I was sent in to announce him, but you already know."
What they didn't expect was for the man to fall and Draco's feet. Harry was the
one who knelt however as Draco sneered at the man in distaste.
"Sanctuary. Get me away from that mad man. I will tell you everything I know.
Please."
"You will return to Azkaban where you belong. Get behind everyone and hide."
Harry said gruffly
Lucius handed Draco his cane and did as Harry asked. Draco starred at the cane
that had beaten him and had it passed to Kingsley. He was battling several
emotions as his mask slid into place. The man was just as much a monster as the
dark lords have been. It was Thomas who put his hand on Draco's shoulder to
help him regain control, Draco was thankful. The boy could understand some of
what he felt.
When Dumbledore walked in Helena stood as close to Thomas as she could. The
rage that dwelled inside her husbands soul was close to the surface.
"Do not move." She whispered to him "Let Harry handle this. He can not hurt
you. I'm right here my love."
Thomas slipped his hand into Helena's and laced their fingers together. He was
a Potter, this is where he belonged.
"I did not receive my invitation. But I decided to come anyway.
Harrison, what is all this?"
"I don't trust you. You were not invited. I have a mess the size of England to
clean up that you created."
Harry broke ranks and walked forward. This man was pure evil.
"Speaking of messes, how did you like what happened to the camp?"
"The one you burnt to the ground?"
"No actully, Thomas burnt it to the ground. Your reasoning is twisted Albus.
What you are trying to accomplish can not be done. A world, an entire planet,
can not function under a single ruler. You are not a God Albus, you are a
twisted evil fuck who needs to be locked away."
"By you? You stand out numbered."
"I stand at the head of a trained army. 30 of mine against 100 of yours and we
would still win. The difference between you and I however is that I fight with
my men while you cower behind yours."
Albus smiled and opened his arms to his men. Harry saw them shift nervously as
the DA stepped forward in mass. Harry just smirked as the girls started taking
off their heels and tossing them to the back. Without orders they fanned out,
wands at the ready.
"Draco! This is above your head!" Lucius shouted
"That's what you think!" Draco snapped back
Harry smirked as Dumbledore stepped off to the side, erecting a dome over
himself. He would run before the fight was even over.
"Whenever you lot are ready."
Harry watched as his core and the one that was just forming stepped forward.
Harry shook his head.
"You lot are not ready-"
"You brother, are not the only one who trains. Yes we are still learning but we
can do this. I'm not going home with this much anger built up. I can't."
Harry nodded and they waited.
They watched as the death eaters seemed to work up their nerve and the curses
started to fly. Harry was proud as his inner circle did as they were taught and
dodged, disarming manually. With more pride then he should hold, Harry smirked
as death eaters started dropping but none of the DA did.
It took less then 15 minutes for all the death eaters lay on the ground. The
auras rushed forward and quickly secured them, placing them in a side room for
holding.
Dumbledore then took down his dome and walked forward. He had a nasty sneer on
his face.
"I will not fight you. You declared war." Harry smirked
"This is not over. Thomas! Come!"
"No."
Harry smirked as Thomas stepped forward and crossed his arms. Rage filled
Dumbledores face and Thomas set his shoulders as Helena took her place at his
side.
"You will do as you are told!"
"Not by you."
"This is far from over! You will be under my control again! And you will watch
as I destroy everything you now hold dear!"
"Never going to happen."
"Thomas. Purge." Harry said firmly
Dumbledore watched as a ball of red hot energy formed in Thomas's hand and
started backing away. Harry watched as the ball stayed no bigger then a
softball and smirked. Thomas had been practicing.
They all watched as Dumbledore slowly backed out of the building before turning
and hurrying out of sight.
"Wolves back on watch. Thomas, retract."
Everyone watched as Thomas brought the magic back in and took a deep breath.
Now the fun began. Harry set up the corner of the room with a table and 2
chairs. The questioning was about to begin.
"Malfoy."
Lucius stepped froward and crossed to were Harry stood.
"I see you found a new dark lord to serve."
"No. I wasn't given a choice. I'd rather be in Azkaban then in his service. I
have a lot of information. What he's doing needs to be stopped. You have the
little ones?"
"As far as I know. We use a blood tracking spell."
"I have a count, of who's blood, and where. I know where he creates them, how
he does it. He will close himself in the cottage he stole from you off the
coast. That is where he will regroup and plan. I need a map. Draco, please, I'm
going to need your help."
Draco came forward and joined them before Harry led them over to the table.
Wilbur brought Harry his map and they began to work. They all watched as Lucius
Malfoy became human as he spilled information like it couldn't wait to get out.
The man had even stripped off his robes and rolled up his shirt sleeves.
Draco knew what his father had meant and jumped in. But he wasn't going to be
enough. This was beyond him.
"Emi, Luca help. This is even too much for me. Lena, Thomas you too. You lot
are the best with maps." Draco said "Mione, Ginny can you cross reference these
lists to ours. Ron, time to plan. Don't give me that look, you thought it I
just got the ball moving."
Harry shrugged rolling his eyes at Lucius. The man smirked at him.
"Don't do that because we have a 7 year old at home that does it better then
even you. He's got his Papas Malfoy and his mums Weasley. He's something else."
"Yes well, that's Conner for you. So much for keeping him away from the twins."
Draco said sarcastically
"You guys are just pissed because you were the last two pranked." Ginny laughed
"You both walked around with green hair for 3 days. It was fantastic."
"You let him in!" They snapped
"We have wards, of course I did. What's the point in living in a house with 40
kids if you can't have a bit of fun."
Lucius shook his head as things started coming together quickly, even with the
banter. Ginny handed Harry her list and pulled Lucius aside. Draco knew she was
showing off pictures of the kids on her phone and he rolled his eyes. The man
was not harmless. But this would be his only chance to see them so he kept his
mouth shut.
"Alright. Now we have the main base. I don't know how much anger we can all
work up, but the rug needs to be pulled. How many have we missed?" Draco said
"A few, not including the new ones. Yes Dumbledore has apparently been very
busy." Ginny sighed
Lucius watched as the triad sank into a privet conversation. Draco was becoming
angry and Harry and Ginny both crossed their arms.
"Whatever you are arguing about Draco is about to explode." Lucius said softly
"We want to take you back to the manor and pick your brain. I also know those
are the same set of robes from just about a year ago.-"
"I am not allowed things when I fail. The tasks are impossible to meet. I'm not
capable of magic, it's been bound. I couldn't harm a fly. Perhaps a guard? How
many auroras are actually family members?"
"Why are you doing this?" Draco asked
"Because I have done so much wrong that I have no hope of redemption. The
things that this man is doing I can not watch anymore. I am not stupid enough
to think I could possibly be apart of anything you've built. But if I can help
take Dumbledore down, I will. A hot shower, clean clothes, and a real meal
would be fantastic. I know I smell, I've just gotten use to it."
"Yeah grandfather, you really do. Papa, I loved Nana too. Just a little bit of
kindness, would it kill you?" Emilie said
"Emilie Jane you ask a lot."
"Papa, how many wolves are at the manor?" Helena asked
"About 30 adults, 60 kids of all ages. Then you, Luca, Thomas, me, Yuri,
Sparrow, and Juliette." Remus replied
"Wait. These 3 are wolves? I've been living under a rock, have I missed
something?" Lucius asked
"Harry found a way to merge the wolf and the human last June. The information
was made public in November." Draco said preoccupied
Lucius held out his hand and shook Harry's. Harry took the opportunity to shock
the man and ran several scans. Lucius rolled his eyes, then he felt what Harry
was really doing. Draco picked up on it too.
"Hell of a way to test it Harry. Shit."
Draco turned to walk away, he needed time to come to terms with what he had
agreed to. When he reached the middle of the ballroom, Lucius called out.
"Draco, I've been bound since before my release. I was not the one to hunt
Narcissa down and cast that curse. Dumbledore is rather fond of PolyJuice. It's
his way of getting things done. How he goes places."
"He's not lying Dray. The bond is over a year old. The release was well planed
and the Malfoy reputation was buried farther." Harry confirmed
"I still have a hard time trusting you. My list against you is long and the
anger runs deep. If its forgiveness you seek Father, the road is a long one."
"You might want to make the next 30 days count. I'm not going to unbind your
magic however. You want a shot at redemption, here it is."
Lucius nodded and sat down in a chair behind the table. He needed to find a way
to get his son back.
"Hey dad, lets get the others to holding cells. Deal with questioning later.
Yuri, Juliette will you please take Lucius to get cleaned up? Kingsley, if
there is anyone I really have to meet lets get going. You have 1 hour."
"Prime Minister Cromwell, you owe Harry an apology. Harry because you have 4
titles and 2 last names."
"Harry is just fine you know that. Emi?"
Emilie sighed as she took her fathers arm. Lucius watched before he was taken
to the manor. Being bound to Harry wasn't as bad as it once sounded.
***
An hour later they stood in the foyer getting ready to head out. Lucius watched
from the stairs, wanting to go with them and knowing that he couldn't. He was
now dressed in clean clothing, muggle jeans and a long sleeve tee shirt, no
shoes. He had been well fed by Molly Weasley who also had to cut his hair to
his shoulders; it was so matted it had to be done.
"Why can't I go but Emilie can? That's not fair."
Lucius turned to see Draco with a 7 year old boy on his hip. Conner was rubbing
his eyes and Lucius smiled. Then Ginny came down the stairs shaking her head,
she had little boy on each hip. Harry was last, carrying two little girls.
"Because Emilie tested out of school."
"Your coming back?"
"Yes we are all coming back."
The boy set his head down on Draco's shoulder and excepted defeat. Conner had
the Weasley red hair and huge bright blue eyes. He was a Papas boy. When the
boy was set down he went straight to Sirius, asking to be picked up.
"Are you going?"
"Nope. Stuck with me. Jack is sleeping."
The boy pouted then looked at Lucius and narrowed his eyes. Lucius did the
same. Then they both smirked and Draco just shook his head.
"That was interesting. Conner this is Lucius, my father. Liam is on the left,
Xavier is on the right. Laila and Paige. Oh this is not happening."
"I did not expect this either Draco. But I'm thankful. I do not deserve it
either."
"Thank you." Conner said softly
"Your welcome." Lucius replied with a smile "After I was told about him, I
would go see him and the nurse kept it quiet."
"His dragon." Draco said softly
Lucius nodded and looked down at the floor. He was full of regret and shame.
"I broke most if the enchantments. Now I get to live with what I have done
under them. No I was never a very nice person, still have my moments as
everyone does. I can just think clearly for the first time in quite some time.
Since before Draco was born."
Draco's head snapped up. Now he could get his answers. Now there was a chance
and he was so angry over losing his mother he wasn't sure if he wanted it. Then
he watched as Paige tried to wiggle out of Harry's arms.
"Gi Gi will you hold on a second. Are you finally going to do this?"
Draco knelt down and held his hands out. Paige had been testing herself for
weeks and they all knew she could walk if she just tried.
"Come in Gi Gi. You can do this. Come see me." Draco said softly
Paige looked at him and reached out, letting go of Harry's jeans to test her
balance. Lucius held his breath as his daughter took her first steps. Draco
kept inching his hands back so she would walk farther and when she finally
reached him he scooped her up and held her tight. Paige giggled with delight as
he kissed her cheek soundly.
"I got it!" Dudley laughed
"Baby girl it's about time." Draco laughed
Lucius just smiled, pride swelling in him. Then Severus stepped thru the floo
and froze.
"It's complicated." Harry sighed "He's the reason I called you here, where our
information came from."
"Oh. Dudley can you take Laila please. Harry, do something with your brother
before he drives me insane."
Maddox reached for Harry and whimpered. Harry took the boy and held him close.
They just seemed to have a bond that no one really understood.
"Have you checked paternity?" Lucius asked
"No. Maddox came in with a pack on July 30, last year. I delivered him." Harry
sighed
Lucius studied the child's face and realized there was something very special
about him.
"Severus may I hold him? I have a hunch." Lucius asked
Severus nodded and watched as Maddox didn't protest. Lucius smiled as the boy
cuddled into him and let his eyes droop closed.
"He's an empath Severus. Too much chaos and he can't take it. Harry, when you
have him what happens?"
"He calms down. I always try to keep my emotions in check. That I never thought
to look for. He's sound asleep."
"Do not wake him up. That boy is exhausted. Is he staying here?"
Everyone looked over at Draco and waited.
"Yes. Just leave your bedroom door open. Be kind to our elves. And this is a
copy of Emilie's book, it's to be released next month. Do not make me regret
this, am I understood?"
"Yes."
"Good. Now I really want to hit something. Can we please go?"
Lucius watched as they gathered around Harry and were gone. He looked up at the
family members starring at him and sighed.
"Lucius," Molly said softly "you have been granted a gift. I love that boy like
one of my own. If you hurt him anymore that you already have I will hurt you.
Now enough of this guard nonsense, there are wards up for a reason. Call Wilbur
if you need anything. A crib is now in your room for Maddox. You will be
checked on."
"Thank you Mrs-"
"My name has been Molly all my life, use it."
Lucius inclined his head and bid everyone good night. His road to redemption
was full of pot holes and he was bound to hit every last one.
***
They hit the main base first, fanning out and searching. Harry was the one to
find the journals and stuffed them into his bag. There were only about 50 and
he studied the spines closely to make sure he didn't miss anything.
Putting his bag on his back, Harry made his way thru the manor. It looked as
tho it was used as lodging and that thought just made his stomach turn. There
were several labs all over the house used for God only knew what.
Severus joined him as he entered the first lab, followed by Draco. They went
over everything with a fine tooth comb, Severus packing up potions ingredients.
They still hadn't found their genetic material.
Then Harry's phone went off, making him jump nearly a foot in the air.
"Damn Harry, jumpy much?" Draco laughed
"Ya think. Jackpot! Ginny found something."
Without a word, they followed Harry down to the basement. They walked into the
biggest lab they had ever seen. Cells lined the right hand wall and held 2
pregnant females in each. Ginny, Helena, and Emilie were talking to them,
calming them down. They had been lied to.
"Harry, help me. I need a really good calming charm." Ginny pleaded
"No, stand back. Let me see them."
As soon as Harry came into view, everyone went quiet. He held his finger up to
his lips and quickly went to work. He removed several layers of enchantments
before the women began to come around.
"What in the hell have I done?" One women asked
"You were tricked. We need to get you out of here. Will you all come with us?"
Harry asked
The women nodded and Harry unlocked the doors. What the old man was thinking
Harry would never know. He sent them back to the manor by port key with the
girls and they went about burning the house down. They had a few more places to
go tonight.
Harry watched the manor burn for a few minutes before taking them back to the
manor, he had babies to check on. Ginny met him in the foyer slightly frantic.
"What's the matter?"
"We have one coming. Eli has never delivered. Lucius rushed to the rescue. They
are in the intake room."
They ran, entering the room just in time to watch Lucius deliver a little boy.
"Harry, help me." Lucius said urgently
Harry knelt beside the man as he clamped off and cut the cord. Apparently there
was alot more to Lucius Malfoy then met the eye.
"She's fading. Shit. Not again."
Harry passed the baby to Ginny and jumped into the chaos. They tried
everything, but they lost her anyway. Harry sat back and looked over at Lucius.
"How many of my children have you delivered?"
"All of them. I delivered my son."
Draco looked his father in the eye and the man smiled.
"You were a stubborn little shit. She pushed for over an hour, was in labor for
3 days. You came out screaming. 8lbs 12oz, 20 inches. I was blessed with your
first breath. But perhaps another time. Lets get cleaned up."
Harry nodded and followed the man into the bathroom as Eli cleaned up the mess.
They washed their hands in silence, still trying to figure out how to act
around each other.
"My task was to keep them alive. The carriers never live."
"I know. Look, I'm still having a hard time with this."
"We all are. I just don't want to screw up."
"Don't be a bastard. Don't be all evil. Spend some time with Draco. Know us."
Lucius nodded and followed Harry back out into the room. Emilie was cuddling
the boy close, giving him a bottle.
"She was tattooed. Addison James." Emilie sighed "I think we should-"
"No you are on vacation. I asked you to come home for the gala. This isn't
fair. Ladies, Eli and I are going to check you over and assign you a room. If
you need anything just ask."
"Something to eat. The man is obsessed with small babies. I'm starving."
"I'll start with you then." Harry laughed
They moved thru exams quickly, creating a record for each women. They each has
a tattoo in the inside of their left wrist if the names of who the child
belonged to, which helped. They brought in 8, a carrier for each couple. No one
was having twins and they were all having boys. There was however a set of
triples, Harry just shook his head.
"Go ahead and have a seat, we will be back shortly."
The woman happily sat down at the table and dug in. Harry just shook his head.
They had 2 more manors to hit, then they could go to bed.
***
The last 2 manors ended up being meeting places, but they burnt them to the
ground anyway. The point Harry was making was that whatever Dumbledore trying
to accomplish, Harry could stop it. Burning manor houses to the ground was just
part of it.
Harry knew where the baby was without being told and led Emilie to collect her
son. Lucius was fully dressed laying on top of the covers propped up in the
center of the bed. Maddox was curled up with his head on the mans thigh and
Addison was on his chest. Lucius was sound asleep.
"You wake him up."
"No you."
Harry glared at his daughter who glared back.
"Or you could remember that Malfoy's are light sleepers. Addison has been
bathed, changed twice, and fed. Maddox is going to need training. He is very
powerful. He's fine here. I will leave the door open."
Lucius sat up so he could hand the child to his mother and sighed.
"Sleep I wasn't allowed either. Thank Merlin in a light sleeper or I would've
been dead by now."
"We will leave you to it. Thank you."
"No, thank you."
Harry watched as he adjusted Maddox and lay down beside him. As an after
thought, Harry covered them both with a light blanket before leaving the room.
He really needed to sit down and talk with the man, several of them did.
*******
Over the next 3 weeks it was nothing but training. They were up at 5:30 every
morning to run the beach. They'd have breakfast then head to Athens for classes
in muggle defense and gymnastics until 5 in the evening. After supper they
dueled for 2 hours. By the time 9 pm rolled around they were too tired to do
anything but sleep.
On the weekends they retreated into their villas. It was their time to just
sink into each other and strengthen their relationships.
What they didn't know was that the pilot thought they were acting odd and
finally called Harry around the end of the first week.
"I'm sorry to bother you Mr.Malfoy-Potter. I was wondering something. I take
them into Athens everyday at 8am. They are always dressed in workout clothes.
The boys carry a bag. They stay until 5pm. The weekends they don't come out at
all."
"I know what they are doing. Thank you for informing me. Everything is fine I
assure you."
"Normal teenagers it would be at night. This is a very normal job."
Harry laughed with the man before he hung up. They were meant to be on vacation
and they were training. Harry smirked, he'd have to step things up then.
Several things had happened over the last 2 weeks that Harry wouldn't forget.
They now had 3 babies who walked, all of them a year old. Xavier was right
behind them trying to keep up.
Lucius had become a member of the family, trying to make amends with the son he
had abused for so long. Harry found he actually liked the man when he wasn't
acting like an arrogant prick. That had surprised him. It was the children that
decided however, they loved him. He hadn't told Draco or Lucius that he could
remove the charm yet. It wasn't time.
It was now July second and Harry had watched the changes in the 2 couples after
their trip. They were closer, they showed intimacy in a public setting, they
had become apart of each other. The bond was now truly complete and for that
Harry was happy.
Like right now they were all setting in the backyard to preview the video
Dudley had made at Harry's request. Then there would be another video that
would play directly after. Harry was kind if nervous and excited all at the
same time.
"Alright you lot! Settle down!" Dudley shouted
Harry laughed as everyone settled down. Avery was strapped to her daddy's chest
in a moby. Dudley had turned out to be a pretty good dad, something that
shocked the lot of them. His wolf had found him and Desiree were currently
talking and that was good enough for Harry.
"So we get to introduce ourselves to the world. Lets just do this. Now this is
just a screening."
Harry shook his head as Dudley started his video. They now were the proud
owners of a projector screen and a movie projector. Harry had helped Dudley set
it up earlier that afternoon and the outdoor theater would stay up until they
went back to school. Now they had something else for the kids to earn.
As he watched he was amazed that Dudley had been able to do so much with so
little. Everyone who crossed the manors threshold was featured and it was
beautiful. Then things switched over and that night over a year ago now began
to play. Dudley hadn't stayed in the house as he was told, he had gotten
Voldemort's death on tape. Then came Draco's rescue.
Draco curled into Harry's side as he watched himself be put back together. He
hadn't realized how bad it had actually been until he watched it. He died 3
times before Harry got him stable. He was extremely lucky to be here.
Then Dudley had put together highlights from over the last year. Dudley
normally walked around with the video camera attached to his hand so when the
time Harry nearly fell down the main staircase reading reports didn't surprise
him at all. Just when he thought no one had seen that.
As the video came to a close Harry looked out on his family with a smile on his
face. He loved each and every one of them. But it was Draco who was getting the
attention. No one had realized what he had been thru, not even Lucius.
The man sat down beside his son and put his head in his hands. He looked
defeated. Draco sighed and patted Lucius' knee.
"Dad, I'm alive and exactly where I belong. You were in Azkaban, I became the
target. It's over with." Draco said softly
"I'm sorry." Lucius whispered
"We have talked about this."
"We need to have a privet word. I'm going to put a bubble up." Harry said
softly
Harry put up a privacy bubble and took a deep breath. It was time.
"I can remove the charm, It's called the redemption charm for a reason. There's
still time on the charm but I wanted to let you know. You are still a long way
from the block from being removed from your magic, but I no longer wish you
death. All the adults have agreed to the charms removal, but it's Draco's
choice."
Draco put his head in his hands and put his head to his knees. Everything that
Lucius told him had been backed up with pensive memories. He had gained the
trust of the adults in the house, of the kids. He had been there when he was
needed and Draco had formed a relationship with his father for the first time
in his life and he wasn't ready to lose that. They would work on public pardon
as soon as they had time.
Sitting up Draco nodded. It was time, with stipulations.
"Remove the charm. Unbind his magic. I want a tracker ring on him and I want an
Unbreakable vow. Yes I trust you, but I will not risk my family. If it was just
me I could careless, not my family. You will not take Paige from us either."
"I agree to your conditions. I'm here because I knew I was wrong. I will never
be truly forgiven, but the love of this family is enough." Lucius said softly
Draco nodded and Harry held his hand out, Lucius took it. Slowly he reversed
the charm the. He removed all of the bonds Dumbledore had the man under. They
watched as he started blinking rapidly, trying to breath.
"Holy shit." Lucius whispered "I don't think I have ever felt like this. I
think I need to be alone awhile."
"We are not finished here. Severus reacted the same way. Deep breaths." Harry
said gently
Lucius closed his eyes and took several deep breaths. All of his emotions began
to sort themselves out and it wasn't nearly as overwhelming as it has been just
moments ago.
"I'm alright. Lets do the vow. How did Severus deal with this?"
"Talking about it. One of the hardest things to do. What are you feeling?"
Harry asked
"Lucky, loved, happiness, joy. Sarrow, fear, anger, regret, remorse. This is
what love feels like?"
Draco laughed and hugged his father close. For the first time in his memory,
Lucius hugged him back tightly.
Harry smiled as they broke apart, redemption was a beautiful thing. Draco
insisted that the vow be made to Harry and Lucius agreed.
What they hadn't realized was that most of the house was sitting watching,
Kingsley included because it was a Sunday. When the bubble came down, everyone
cheered as Kingsley handed back Lucius' cane.
"Don't screw up. You are still under house arrest, but I'm going to start
working on your pardon. I'm trusting you to stay in line, this is the best
family to be apart of." Kingsley said
"I promise, I will not screw this up. I love this family. Excuse me. Sev! I
need your help!"
Kingsley shook his head and turned to Harry and Draco, Ginny coming to stand
beside them.
"I'm happy in this moment that this is working out. I just hope it sticks."
"It will. We offer more then Dumbledore ever could." Ginny smirked
"And what's that?"
"Everything."
***** Chapter 3: Most Of All Human *****

Author's notes: Introductions
===============================================================================
Chapter 3: Most of We Are Human
Harry rushed about as he readied to go pick up Rebekkah and her crew. The
entire populous of the manor knew they were about to have visitors and were
excited, that part made Harry a little nervous. So he kissed Draco and Ginny
good bye and was gone.
Harry appeared in the lobby of the news station 5 minutes late. He was just
never on time. They were ready to roll dressed in jeans and tee shirts. Harry
smiled, at least they had sense.
"We are at your disposal for the entire day. Whatever we get will be aired next
week."
"Sounds good to me. What I'm thinking is just follow us around. There is never
a dull moment with us."
Harry explained what he needed them to do and they gathered around him. Harry
smirked as they all took a deep breath then were gone.
"Harry! The boys are at it again! They are driving me straight nuts! Hi, I'm
Ginny nice to meet you. There is silly string all over the kitchen."
"Where did they- magic silly string?"
"Fred and George. It has got to stop."
Harry nodded and went in search of the boys Ginny was talking about. When he
found them he took them down to the kitchen and made the adults leave. He gave
them 2 hours to clean the mess up then gave them a weeks worth of restriction.
"But that's not fair!" Several protested
"It's very fair. You made the mess, you clean it up. It was not the right place
for silly string or the right time. Bring it under control gentlemen. Save your
pranks for school."
Harry then rejoined their guests and sighed. That was the problem with boys.
When the got bored everyone suffered.
When the camera came on Harry took them on a tour of the house and answered
questions as they went. Silly questions really about the family and what not.
Harry just laughed as kids kept running past.
By lunch time Rebekkah was ready to sit down and really talk.
"After lunch, during quiet time. We should have about 2 hours then. We have 15
minutes to get the littles in their seats. Laila, Gi Gi, who let you out?"
"I did. Draco has opened the gate." Lucius laughed
"Go with grandfather and get in your seats."
Harry smiled as they listened and followed Lucius into the dining room. Things
had really changed with Lucius' arrival. He played with toddlers after
breakfast. Would help clean up after lunch. Helped set tables for dinner and
was always available if needed. Harry was glad he was here.
Lunch, as always was a rather boisterous affair. Kids started protesting that
they weren't tired and didn't need a lie down. Toddles and older infants
started getting fussy and gearing up for melt downs. Harry read all the signs
and as he stood, so did the nannies. The older kids were round up by handlers.
Not long after, Harry was leading everyone into his study, he was missing his
nap for this.
"From what I've seen, this is a relatively normal family. Granted you run an
orphanage out of your home, everything is normal. So explain how you make this
work."
"Draco set up a system about a year ago that we follow. You can tell when
things are off because everyone is cranky. When we go to Hogwarts, it's mainly
the littles we have to worry about. Last term, Emilie, Luca, Helena, and Thomas
tested out. Ginny handles the traveling bit. Trunks are sent ahead, clothes are
put out, lunches and snacks are made, backpacks are packed. She's a one women
army." Harry said
"So the family dynamic?"
"There are several adults here at all times." Draco started "Severus and Remus
just moved to Wolf Manor to help with Helena and Thomas' pack. Yes they have a
pack of about 60. All of them 10 and under. We are never out numbered, but we
deal with discipline. It's more of the kids knowing that the adults are the
ones in control. Yes we let them go nuts, at parties and during the full moon.
Almost all of them are merged wolves, they need to run. The moon energizes
them."
"Then they sleep till lunch the next day and eat like their starving to death."
Ginny put in
"Those are the 3 days Harry makes pancakes." Draco smiled
Harry just rolled his eyes. Rebekkah was starting to see how they all worked.
"Chores."
"We go by age group and day of the week. Emilie just started washing her own
laundry and realizing it is a lot of work. Diapers are a house thing and they
are done daily. We have a full house elves staff but we want the kids to have
as many life stills as possible. We want them to be self reliant. So, we do
things to assure that."
"That's another thing I have to ask about. Emilie and Luca?"
"It's a lot more complicated then allowing anything. Every wolf has a mate,
normally mates are not found until a wolf reaches 16. Luca is a wolf, born of
wolf parents. He's more wolf then human. He found Emilie the night he came to
Hogwarts to be merged, she merged him. Very slowly Luca started to lose his
mind and a choice had to be made. So as a family the choice was made. No one
entered into it lightly. They are both geniuses, they have more information
between them then any library. Then you put Thomas and Helena in there and you
have an information power house."
"Luca reads, writes and speaks 15 languages. And Emilie 22." Draco said proudly
"Wow. Now Thomas is a new addition."
"To the family, he's been here since June. But it's not my story to tell.- Tell
away I'm not getting in front of the camera. Really? But you can sit outside
the door?"
The camera turned and both core groups waved. Harry sat there shaking his head.
"Not my story. Not going there."
Thomas pulled a face and looked over at Helena. She shook her head and winked
at Harry. She was working on something epic and they would have it soon. Harry
nodded as he got her text. Then he got one from Emilie.
"When? What? Wait!"
Draco laughed thru the link as he smirked at Harry. Emilie had just asked if
she and Luca could move their family into the guest house. The girl wanted her
own space, wanted some privacy. She had asked Draco about it, who talked to
Ginny and got her on their side. Now there stood Harry.
They all watched as Harry seemed to have an internal battle with himself. When
he nodded without a word, Emilie cheered. She had won.
"I don't want to talk about it. Don't press." Harry said softly
Rebekkah nodded and looked for her next topic.
"So this is the second phase of the war as I understand."
"Yes you could say that. I have most of Dumbledores personal journals. He's
been working his way up to this point since he was 21. He's 157, thats 136
years. So it's all just starting to come together."
"So he's well planned?"
"And went around the twist several times. The man was obsessed with his image.
Every public step he made was so he was never thought of as the True Dark Lord.
Adolf Hitler? We know as him Grindwald. Dumbledore brought him to power, then
brought about his downfall. Tom Riddle was an orphan whom Dumbledore introduced
to the Wizarding World in 1940. He started molding him, as soon as he entered
the school. So Dumbledore really was the master mind behind both wars. Yes."
"And you fit in how?"
"Thru prophecy. Until last summer Dumbledore was my go to guy for information.
He was the leader of the light. He always give me just enough to keep me alive.
He only knew the one prophecy, I know them all. Wait, hold on just a second. On
the night I brought down Voldemort he gave me a warning. I put together rather
quickly who he was talking about. So I started digging and Dumbledore is truly
a monster."
"How so."
"He signed off as my legal guardian and placed me with my aunt and uncle, my
mothers sister. He started skimming off the family vaults. When I reached 5
they were put under compulsion charms so they would treat me badly. He bound my
magic, Ginny's, Draco's, and several others. He's used and manipulated just
about anyone who he could to achieve his goal. He created children in order to
meet his own ends. The eldest we've found is 18, the youngest haven't been born
yet." Harry paused holding up a hand. He needed a few minutes to process.
"He set up an illegal sex trade to fund his side of the war. I was the first,
those in Wolf Manor came after me. There were 3 manor houses in total, 1
orphanage. When the boys reached 12 they were used and drugged to create more
born wolves for the trade. They are now all safe. Thanks to that man when I
found my mate I needed a Dom. I couldn't function on my own. Because of that
man we've found 13 children that are mine. But because he declared war, he's
beyond reproach. We just get to go behind him and clean up the mess." Thomas
said firmly
"He's made my daughter a parent. He made us parents. The children were meant to
be used to get closer to us. We've put a stop it it."
"So the random fires?"
"Putting a stop to it. We know where he is, we just can't do anything. With the
formal declaration of war there are to be battles. What you saw in London was
not a battle, it was a power show and I don't even think it went the way he
planed. There was another on June the 15th at a gala we attended. That night
Lucius formally switched sides and he lost all his death eaters. Not only that
but with the information we were given we destroyed 3 manors. He keeps losing."
Ginny said
"And how do you know so much about war? Who's Lucius?"
"Lucius is my father." Draco said "That I don't even want to go there."
"I'm a level 1 defense master. I am the only one to ever best Harry."
"I'm also the one who taught you. At some point the student must best the
master to gain the respect of others. By besting me that gives you tons of
bragging rights." Harry smirked
"Oh I am well aware of that."
Harry laughed, as Ginny smirked at him. He knew she used it all the time.
"Prophecies?"
"278 in total and more then half have already come to pass. Too many details,
sorry."
"Fair enough. How in the hell
does this work?"
Rebekkah pointed at the three of them and arched an eye brow. Relationship
questions, joy. They were all sitting there trying not to laugh as the poor
women started going red.
"How do you mean? I can take that question in several directions." Harry
smirked "Lets just say it works just fine and move on."
"Right you are. Well then. What are the plans for the future?"
"We don't plan to far in advance." Draco sighed "That way we don't end up
disappointed. July birthdays are the next big thing. Then August. School starts
September 1st, do we have any new first years?"
"Yes I will give you the list later." Harry laughed "I'm the headmaster at
Hogwarts. The castle chose me because of who I am."
"Well that's a big job."
"No, not really. It's not really that difficult."
Rebekkah blinked rapidly.
"Do you find anything difficult?"
"Holding my temper and being a parent. Parenting is no walk in the park."
"How do you plan to end this?"
"No idea. All I know is that it has to be done. I just have to follow the
rules."
"Yeah honey you and rules have never really gotten along. I could go on for
ages all the rules you've broken. Your Hogwarts file has to be at least an inch
think." Ginny laughed
"2 inches actully. Yours isn't far behind."
"I was with you!"
"I was fighting with you. Thats something they should know. Harry and I started
out school rivals. We fought every chance we got." Draco smirked
"Yes my name is mentioned on every single page in both files. Ok I get it."
"How long have you lot been together?"
"Ok this is a bit complicated. Ginny and I dated for 3 years behind everyone's
back. We broke up because I had a thing for Draco and she had a thing for a boy
in our year. I got Draco and we got Ginny back. It just works. There was even a
prophecy about it. Emi get the door. It's for you."
"Yes! Finally! My jeans are way too tight!"
Harry just shook his head as she recruited Luca and Thomas to help her carry
boxes up the stairs. He sent her a message to pack and to quietly send house
elves out to the guest house. He knew how excited she was. He'd make sure the
elves kept them well stocked. At least they would be close.
"She went thru a growth spurt recently. Yes that's what we call that Harry. Did
you notice I shrunk some of my clothes? We couldn't expand hers anymore." Ginny
said
"That's why she's been in yoga pants?"
"Yes, mine. I think Luca is short a few tee shirts."
"A hoodie and 4 pairs of sweatpants. Where do you want these?" Luca said
"Oh, stock room. Thank you Luca."
"No mum, thank you. Now maybe I can get my stuff back. I'm not counting on it
though."
Everyone laughed as Luca walked off with the boxes. It was becoming very very
clear that this was a very tight knit family. Rebekkah was starting to wonder
what Harry wasn't capable of?
"Who are you and damn it why are you married?!"
Harry laughed as he shook his head. He had been asked that's me question over
and over again and he still had a hard time answering.
"I am what I am needed to be. There are so many things that I am that I have
lost count until I need to be that again. I thought that when Voldemort was
gone I'd be left alone. That I could vanish and never be heard from again. I
thought that my days of fighting would be over. But I was wrong."
"Why you?"
"Why not me? I was already Voldemort's target. I wasn't meant to best him. I'm
not meant to be alive. Dumbledore wanted me dead before my magic started really
growing. Wanted me out of the way. Because I'm once again the only one with the
power to beat him. If I run then what? If not me then who? Who else would try
to walk in my foot steps and do the things that I have done? Who else would be
able to shoulder the heavy weight of war? No one is always the answer. There's
no one. So here I sit, to be hero once again."
"Don't you get tired?"
"We all do." Ginny answered "But it's not just about our world anymore,
Dumbledore had changed that. Now it's totally public in both worlds and we are
going to need help. It's all about survival now."
"It's not as easy as it seems is it?"
"No. Track the length of wars thru history, muggle wars. The civil war, over 4
years. World war 1, 4 years 11 months. World war 2, 7 years. Vietnam was nearly
19 years. There is always away. And Hermione go look up the stone again."
"Really?"
"Yes! Do it now! I've just remembered something from first year! He has the
stone! He took it from me! Check on Flamel as well! Damn it! How do I forget
these things!"
"Damn! How did we all!" Ron exclaimed running to join Hermione
Harry's mind was working really fast as he tried to piece everything together.
He held out his hand and pushed Ginny back in her chair as several books zoomed
right past her.
"Sorry. Several things are marked. Help me look. I think I remember reading
something, I just can't grasp it."
They all watched as they quickly read over things that were marked. Rebekkah
had the camera man keep rolling, something was happening here that was very
important.
"Harry, here!" Ginny exclaimed
"I've got something too." Draco muttered "Harry, not good."
"Yes thank you for stating the obvious. I got something too. Where is Lucius?"
"Here. Ron sent me. Something about your first year. What the hell happen your
first year?"
"Sorccres stone." Harry snapped
"Oh shit." Lucius cursed "I'll get Severus, Remus, Helena, Thomas, Luca, and
Emilie. More journals?"
"We gotta find out for sure then find away. Shit is getting thicker. Mum!"
Lilly came running from the kitchen closely followed by Molly. They were making
cookies for after dinner.
"Sorccres stone? What do you know?"
"Not much." Lilly and Molly answered
Harry sighed and tried to clear his head, it wasn't working. He needed to get
his research team together as quickly as possible and figure this one out.
"Harry, could you possibly explain?"
"The stone turns any metal to gold and creates the elixir of life. When I was
11 we had a professor at school who had Voldemort living inside him. A fragment
of Voldemort's soul had attached itself to his like a leech. The guy went as
far as breaking into Gringotts, our bank which is run by goblins. Dumbledore
had the stone removed from the bank, I was present. Near the end of term Ron,
Hermione, and I have figured it out and had gone after it. We thought it was
Severus, it wasn't. There was fluffy the 3 headed dog, that was Hagrids. Devils
Snare, which hates sun light. Flying keys, luckily I can fly. And a huge chess
set. The stone was inside the mirror of Erised, a mirror that shows your hearts
desire. I got the stone, turned the guy to ash and passed out. I woke up in
hospital the next morning. Dumbledore already had the stone by then."
"Was it always like that?"
"Pretty much. Second year, Ginny was being possessed by Voldemort's diary.
There was a basilisk which turns people to stone if looked upon. In the end I
saved Ginny, nearly died, and saved the day. Third year was dementors and
Sirius escaping Azkaban. Forth year was the triwizard, which I ended up having
to compete in. Got a few new scars, out flew a dragon. Voldemort came back and
I was publicly humiliated, no one believed me. Fifth read everything started to
fall apart for the old man, I'd gone rouge. Lost Sirius that year."
"Your parents are back?"
"Emilie acted recklessly and contacted the powers that be. I can't explain what
they are, I don't really know. She requested 24 hours, a year ago Halloween.
They could have killed her, but the request was granted because it wasn't a
selfish one. And she didn't have to make a sacrifice."
"Did you feel that? The air just shifted." The reporter whispered
Harry went very still and reached out with his magic.
"He's breeched the wards! Lucius, Severus, dad, Sirius, Yuri, go to the other
manors! You lot, with me! You lot can head up to the roof, we can add this to
what we already have. Dudley can edit it here."
Everyone broke off into groups. Harry had thought his wards were strong enough,
apparently he was wrong. As they ran across the back end of the property, Harry
knew they were running out of time. The wards would collapse at any second.
As they reached the breech time seemed to stand still as each and every one of
them began to cast without promoting. But it was too late and they switched
tactics. They had no choice but to split up as the death eaters fanned out.
Systematically they separated Thomas from the rest of the group and as quickly
as it started it was all over with. Dumbledore took what he had came for.
"Fuck!" Harry cursed.
"Lets get the wards back up." Helena cried "I'll activate the tracker. Emi we
need back up, gather them all."
Quickly the wards were put back into place and they ran back into the house.
Without a word they gathered around Harry and were gone.
Riddle Manor, a place from Harry's past that he hoped to never see again,
loomed before them. They were met with resistance, death eaters guarding the
sin within. They worked as a team with a single goal. Thomas.
Inside the manor, Thomas knelt before the man who had created him. Dumbledore
sat on his throne chair, grinning at his prize. The boy was even more
magnificent then he had been. He was well groomed, well fed, smartly dressed,
and toned. The boy had been working very hard.
"Stand."
Thomas stood, but kept his head down. He knew what he was expected to do and
did so just to buy time. He could hear his family just outside. Dumbledore
stood and cast a charm leaving him in just his underwear. Thomas felt like he
was going to be sick.
"I imagine she has taught you several things. Pleasure being just one of them.
The little whore will be taken care of. She had no right to touch what is mine.
Do you honestly think she loves you? Where is she now? How long before she
turns and walks away because its too much for her?"
"Never."
"You have given yourself to her completely. You are a fool. You still have
marks on your back. Tell me, was she worth it?"
"Always."
Thomas closed his eyes as the first lash hit him. He could tell by the way it
stung that it was deeper then the others. As Dumbledore ran his hand down
Thomas' chest, he leaned in.
"Tell me what she's done to you, you to her. Tell me why she's so worth it."
Thomas knew that he would be whipped as he told. But it would buy time. They
were almost to him, just a little more time.
"She has skin as soft as silk,"
Thomas could see the rage mar Dumbledores face as he described the pleasures he
remembered vividly. He couldn't wait to have her in his arms again.
"She's wearing the leather pants today, with a red tank top. Makes me wonder
what's underneath, if anything at all."
The next lash was worth it just to see how angry his joy made the old man.
Harry blasted the front doors open and searched for his brothers magic. They
were on the second floor, in the throne room. They rushed up the stairs and
into the room. Dumbledore was once again in his chair, scowling at them.
"Just take him! He wasn't even worth the trouble! The bitch he's bound himself
to has destroyed him! The potions haven't even done anything! He keeps talking
about her!"
They crossed the room to form a line between Thomas and Dumbledore. Helena
knelt beside him, running a hand thru his hair.
"Fuck this sucks. Get me out of here. Fucking potions. Lena, can you fix my
back?" Thomas said
"Yes, I can. Harry, we need to go." Helena snapped
Harry knelt as everyone reached out to him and they were gone. Dumbledore
screamed in rage. The boy was once again destroying everything.
***
Harry allowed Helena to handle Thomas as he saw to everyone else. There was
nothing major, just minor cut and curse marks. They had done extremely well.
"Emi, you lot really start training tomorrow. You know the drill." He said
softly "He breeched my wards. Came onto my property. That can't happen again.
Where's the crew?"
"Editing with Dudley. Avery and Desiree are hard sleepers. He said it shouldn't
take long." Molly answered "One of the women are close to delivery. She's been
laboring since last night. It's your boys. That's going to be hard to explain.
Your triplets yes, but you don't all have the same parents."
"I don't know how in the hell he did it. Keep an eye on her. We've got to
strengthen the wards."
Over the next hour, the adults in the house strengthened the wards. It was an
exhausting process but it had to be done. By the time they finished Harry was
rushing up the stairs to deliver his sons.
"Hey, ready?"
"Yes! My god!"
Harry sat down and took a deep breath. This would be the last for the triad for
awhile. Thanks to Dumbledore they were about to have 9 children.
Draco sat at his left and Ginny at his right, ready to assist. Chase Finn made
his appearance minutes later with the Weasley red hair. Next came Ian David,
blond like his papa. The last was Evan Blake, with dark messy hair like his
daddy. They were beautiful and screaming and there was no way to tell whom was
who's.
"It's ok. I know who it works. I've been there for years. I've excepted it. I
miscarried several times."
Harry sighed as they began the fight to save her life. But she like all the
others slipped thru their fingers. They would lay her to rest later, right now
they had 3 infants to see too.
Chase as it turned out was Harry and Ginny's son. Ian was Ginny and Draco's.
And Evan was Draco and Harry's. Not that it really matted. They were bathed,
dressed, fed, and currently asleep in a crib in the nursery. Paige and Laila
would be moved later, Liam and Xavier as well. Just when they got them all
sleeping thru the night!
Rebekkah congratulated them on their new additions. And let them watch her
interview. They had even got the moment where Emilie cuddled into his side on
the family room sofa and they just sat there talking to each other quietly.
They had gotten them in the playroom after breakfast, getting ready for lunch.
Then nap time. They had condensed everything into 20 minutes and it looked
pretty good. Then there was the interview and there were so many questions that
she had left to ask but wouldn't have had time. It was good enough for them.
"I'm going to have it aired tonight. I've already called and set it up. Then
Dudley had me watch the disc he made, I'm going to air that as well. I'm so
excited."
"What time? Dudley can put it in the projection screen out back." Harry asked
"It's gunna rain. We have to do it inside. The upstairs ball room that no one
ever goes into world be perfect. I already asked Ginny and Draco to give me a
hand. We are about to have a home theater, I'm so excited."
"You are spoiled rotten."
"I'm still wondering when the other shoes going to drop about the video camera
and the computer."
Harry just smirked and crossed his arms. Dudley had learned that when Harry
stood that way he should be worried. Then Harry cocked his head to the side and
Dudley cursed.
"Just go set up. The kids are going to want snacks. I need to check on dinner,
I didn't talk to Wilbur this - What are you making?"
"Lasagna. Garlic bread. Salad. That's what was on the board." Ginny said
absently
They were feeding an army and Ginny was outing the last lasagna together. The
bread and salad would be done later.
Harry just shook his head, this was the triad in action.
"Snack is in the fridge if you can set that out. Dray is in the laundry room.
Life keeps on going. Is someone going to check on Thomas?"
"No. Dumbledore had given him the potions. I'm not going anywhere near that
room."
"Wow, alright then." Ginny laughed
Rebekkah watched as Ginny fit two pans in the oven while a pair of house elves
picked up the others.
"Another oven in their living quarters. Come on I'll show you. I make a daily
inspection. They were left on their own for 2 decades."
Rebekkah nodded and followed Ginny. This was the strangest experience she had
ever had, she was loving it.
***
After Thomas had been healed and showered, Helena found herself at his mercy.
He hold her he couldn't fight it any more. The potions in his system where
making him act and she was glad he was home.
He had loved her like she was the last women on the planet, taking her places
she had never been. It was hot, intense, full of passion and she hoped he
remembered.
As the potions wore off, they lay in a tangle of sheets trying to catch their
breath. Helena was tucked into his side praying he didn't ask questions.
"I remember." He finally whispered "Son of a bitch my head hurts."
"Can we just lay here a few more minutes?"
Thomas reversed them so he could put his head on her chest. He was in a place
he'd never been and never wanted to leave. He had never experienced passion
like that before and loved every minute of it.
"We should get up. We can smoke in the bathroom. Yes Harry knows we smoke.
Walking around stoned and getting asked questions would look funny. Or we can
wait till later. We promised to help Emi and Luca move today."
"Alright. I love you so much."
"I love you too. I'd rather just lay here all day. Do that all over again."
Thomas kissed her slowly, deeply and with promise.
"Later. Come on. I smell lasagna."
Helena laughed as she followed him into the bathroom. Life really was
interesting.
*****
That night at 7, the entire house gathered in the new movie room. It was
storming pretty bad outside, they could hear the thunder and lightning crash
outside. As Dudley patched everything thru, Harry sighed. Why did it have to be
this way. Dumbledore had exposed them all and now he got to deal with the fall
out.
"So, Rebekkah, you spent the day with the Malfoy-Potters. That had to be
interesting."
"No it was fun. They run an orphanage out of their home so there are kids
everywhere. I liked sitting in the toddler room, getting to play. I would love
to go back. Hear me Harry? Anyway, lets meet the Malfoy-Potters shall we?"
Harry laughed as Draco and Ginny gave their approval to have Rebekkah there for
the party. Picking up his phone he sent her a text message inviting her to the
party. He didn't even care if there were cameras present.
As they watched the footage again Harry realized there were so much that was
going to be asked. He needed a plan. Talking to Rebekkah, he pitched his idea
as he cleared it with Ginny and Draco. The Wizarding world was already out in
the open, might as well.
"Wow."
"Yes, quite." Rebekkah laughed "I love my job. Harry I will see you lot July
28th. What am I packing for 4 days? Yes, I was right."
"Text messages? You have his phone number?"
"Yes. I really like this family. If they are going to help us understand I'm
all for it. This community has thrived on secrecy for hundreds of years. And
thanks to one mad man that world has been exposed. We are trying to take the
fear out of it."
"Can that even be done?"
"We can try. Until next time, good night."
Harry sighed and snuggled into the bean bag chair with his spouses. It was a
long shot but it was worth it.
***** Chapter 5: And it Goes Something Like This *****

Author's notes: Off to Hogwarts
===============================================================================
Chapter 5: And It Goes Something Like This
Harry invited Rebekkah back to watch what went into sending so many off to
Hogwarts. They had a total of 20 new first years brining the lunchbox total to
40. But they had help this year as Helena and Emilie joined in.
Each girl would also have a bag with 50 additional lunches and that was in
addition to the 50 in Ginny's bag. Ginny explained to Rebekkah that they ended
up feeding everyone on the train. Rebekkah didn't understand it.
They watched as 2 nights before they were to catch the train trunks were
packed. Harry explained that they sent them ahead to cut down in the confusion.
To Rebekkah it was perfectly logical.
They celebrated the end of summer with a movie and snacks. The time table was
adhered to as the house started shutting down around 9. Rebekkah was amazed to
say the least.
As the chaos for the day came to a close, Rebekkah found herself packing
lunches and asking questions. What these kids were doing was nothing short of
incredible and she was apart of it. For how long she wasn't very sure.
Rebekkah Anderson was a lonely women. At just 30 years old she lived in
solitude, focused on her job and where it could take her. Until she met the
Malfoy-Potters she was growing tired of the solitude and started craving more
human interaction. She had never felt more full then when she was here.
She waited until they finished packing lunches and the camera was off before
she spoke her fears.
"I need to be honest with you. I have never in my life been apart of something
as magnificent as this. I have never felt the love I feel here. Now I'm left to
wonder what will become of me when you go."
"Your apart of us now. Luca made this for you. Just because we go about our
lives doesn't mean this ends. You will still be following us." Harry said
Rebekkah excepted the ring and smiled as she slipped it onto get finger. They
made her a member of their extended family. She couldn't help her smile or the
tears that escaped.
"I didn't think anything would come of this story. I thought it was just going
to be the one interview and it would be over. I am so happy you came into my
life. I've never been so happy."
Ginny hugged her as she cried. They had all been there. They had all felt the
same way. When Rebekkah say up and wiped her eyes, she smiled.
"Thank you all so much for giving me something I will cherish for the rest of
my life."
"What's that?" Harry smiled
"A place where I feel like I belong."
Harry smiled as hugs were passed out and good nights were said. Tomorrow they
returned to Hogwarts and his work truly began.
***
The next morning was rather organized and well ordered. Rebekkah expected
chaos, but they had eliminated all that by doing everything before hand.
"Alright. Buddies go first, then we will send kids. We will bring up the tail.
Harry your keeping the babies right? Dray and I are taking the 4 littles?"
"That's the plan. We will meet you at Hogwarts."
Ginny nodded taking a deep breath. The buddies went ahead at her word
activating their new port keys. The kids soon followed. The core groups brought
up the rear, Rebekkah and Steve in tow. The platform was packed with students
and parents as Harry started passing out hugs. Steve had the camera going as
other students from other years came up and greeted Harry cheerfully, hugging
him. Parents stood off to the side as the many shouts of 'Headmaster Harry'
rang out.
Rebekkah watched as the train loaded and pulled out of the station. It was the
parents who looked at Harry like he was a bug that needed to be squished. And
not for the first time Rebekkah wondered how Harry dealt with it all.
"Last year I slept. This year we have until 2 then there's a staff meeting up
at Hogwarts. Can I help you? You lot are glaring at me like I'm evil."
"Creevy. Now I want to know how my boys are involved?"
Harry crossed his arms and took a deep breath as he rocked back on his heels.
Rebekkah took a step back, this wasn't going to be pretty.
"Colin and Denis, good friends of mine actually. The one ones I trust to get an
honest photo. I'm the one who got them their jobs at the prophet. They are
fully trained but I want them kept well off the battle field. They are very
skilled in what they do and I need that. As far as the war goes. They will not
fight, I will not allow it."
"They would rather be at your place then at home. Or the flat on the Alley."
"I own the flat. It gives them a place to work. I always have a full house.
They take alot of pictures when their around."
"You trust their talent?"
"Very much. Colin takes all of our family photos."
The man looked confused as he stood there. Then he looked at the triple pram.
"The things that are aired are true Mr.Creevy. Chase, Ian, and Evan."
"That's 9?"
Harry nodded as the other parents relaxed some. Harry went on to explain that
they would be passing out tracker rings to all students and that they were also
emergency port keys. He explained that the students safety was top priority and
he wasn't going to allow anything to happen to them. It seemed to ease the
parents fears and they bid Harry good bye with his, Severus, Remus, Ginny's,
and Draco's cell phone numbers on cards they had made up.
"Nicely played. Why don't we give the camera a break for awhile and just walk?"
Rebekkah asked
Harry nodded and led them out of kings cross. They stopped in at a cafe and sat
and just talked. It was nice, but short lived. They needed to get up to
Hogwarts, he had a staff to run.
*****
Everyone was on high alert as the train made its way to the castle. As
predicted, the lunches went quickly and soon everyone was down for their naps.
At several different points on the train 3 couples were looking for empty
compartments for a bit of alone time.
Luca and Emilie were the only ones to manage it and quickly locked themselves
in. Charms were quickly cast and Luca found himself pinned. They were starting
to understand why several couples were seen coming out of odd rooms in the
manor. Recently alone time was hard to come by.
"Let my hands go." Luca whispered
Emilie leaned down and kissed him softly, teasing. Something had happened to
Emilie when she hit puberty. She was more sure of herself, she was more forward
then she once had been. Luca was enjoying the change as he went thru much of
the same. They were literally growing up with each other, growing into each
other.
Emilie shook her head and smiled as she kissed him firmer, deepening the kiss.
He tried to get free to no avail, she wouldn't even let him flip them. He was
quickly becoming frustrated, left wanting.
"Please let me touch." He begged in a whisper
She finally released his hands as she kissed him again. Wanting his touch as
much as she did was something entirely new. Before it felt like she had to, now
she actually wanted to.
As he untied her hulter, she sat up as it fell away. He growled as he tasted
anywhere he could reach. But it wasn't enough, he could never get enough.
"Back up against the wall. I'm taking lead." Emilie whispered
Luca didn't question as he backed up as the bed fell away leaving benches
again. He watched as her panties fell to the floor before he was pulled to his
feet.
"Just let me have my way."
In reply Luca kissed her as has pants dropped to his knees. He sat back down
slightly surprised when she strattled his lap and rose up. Helping her with the
angle, he moaned as she sank back down taking him deep.
"Shit. What are you going to do now love?" He whispered
Emilie just smiled as she began to move watching as his eyes rolled back. He
slid forward to give her better leverage and watched as she road him. He was
mesmerized by her, constantly surprised. It was like watching a wild rose bloom
before his eyes.
She rested her forehead to his as climax approached, too close for both of
them. As they came, they clung, it ending too soon for both of them.
"You are totally amazing." Luca whispered kissing her softly
"I'm feeling rather naughty. I'm just getting warmed up."
Luca smiled as she stood and cast a cleaning charm. They had babies to get back
to.
*****
Rebekkah let her mouth drop open as Hogwarts came into view. This was the
castle that Harry was fighting so hard to protect. It was breath taking.
"She took ten years to build and opened September 1st 661 years ago. You'll
meet Nora, the spirt of the castle. We all love Nora. All the professors will
be here as well."
Rebekkah nodded absently as the carriage pulled to a stop. All the women rushed
out to help with babies, leaving Harry's hands free. He helped Rebekkah down
and ushered her into the castle. Thank god she had ahold of his arm or she
would've tripped a long time ago.
"Harry! Great to see you!"
Rebekkah turned around and looked up. Oh this was not happening.
"Who's your friend?" Merlin asked "Final change suits you."
"This is Rebekkah Anderson, she is a muggle reporter. Dumbledore outted the
entire Wizarding World. Yes they are talking. These are my however many great
grand parents."
Harry introduced her and she took a very deep breath as she was led over to the
table. Harry started the meeting and passed everyone their port keys. They
would be adding in more defensive spells on top of what they already taught.
Other then that there were really no concerns.
"Nora, do you know who owns the shrieking shack?"
Nora appeared several large scrolls floating beside her.
"You can cross love, please join us."
Rebekkah's eyes went wide as Nora became solid and hugged Harry before sitting
down beside him. Oh she really needed to lay down.
"It's the old headmasters grounds. It's yours."
"I'll put in the permits then."
"Whatever for?!" Minerva asked
"I'm going to put a primary school there. Children will start school at age 5
and attend there until 11. That way muggle born students will already know how
our world works. Test scores will also be higher and we will produce more
productive members of society. This was Hermione's idea."
"I thought you were going to build another house."
"No. But if students need to stay I will plan for it."
"My mind is beyond blown."Rebekkah said softly
"I'm having a hard time processing."
Harry laughed as he pulled the construction permits from his pocket and signed
them.
"Leo, could you deliver these to the permits office?"
The Phenoix whistled ad was gone in a flash if blue flame. He had alot left on
his mind and sighed heavily. They needed to finalize teaching plans and set up
their teachers so they could get the school running as soon as it was built.
Rebekkah held up a hand for silence as Harry got a glazed look in his eyes. It
was a look that brought about more of his brilliant ideas.
"I need something - thank you."
Rebekkah slid a small legal pad and a pen across the table. She started
carrying them around just for this reason. Then she noticed Harry's leg was
bouncing and smiled. This was going to be a good one.
When he looked up she was still smiling at him.
"What?"
"I can judge how fast your brain is going by how fast you bounce your leg. It
goes in direct connection with how fast your writing. Then when the notes are
read over. Short hand. The only people who will understand this is Ginny and
Draco."
Harry just shook his head and smiled.
"Yes well in theory-"
"Theory my ass Harrison. You know exactly what your doing and I will not have
this argument with you again. There is no point."
Harry just rolled his eyes as he asked Nora to take Rebekkah on a tour of the
castle. He needed Steve's help with something he was setting up in the village.
They had a battle to prepare for and 4 hours until the train arrived.
***
"So your going to stream the battle live? You are a bloody genius." Steve
laughed
"I am actually. I have the test scores to prove it too. I forgot to tell Poppy
I passed my healer exam. Shit."
Harry was on his broom mounting security cameras as Steve tossed them to him.
"I want everyone to see. Steve this is one of those things that changes
everything. With what he did there was no way to cover it up. It went live
straight from the start. Now it has to be open."
"It's some trippy shit."
"Yeah, it really is. I think I'd like to shut my brain off for a bit. I just
don't know how."
"Get really stoned."
Harry laughed, that was actually an option. He just didn't like it.
"I just might. Do not tell anyone. That would screw everything up."
"Believe it or not your one of the closest friends I've ever had. I wouldn't
say a word."
"I'll ask Merlin how he shut off. I haven't slept in weeks, I'm exhausted."
Steve nodded and slid a cigarette case into his friends back pocket after he
landed.
"Sleep."
Harry nodded and sighed. It had come to this.
***
Harry was starting up at Merlin as students started pouring into the hall. He
had given Harry the same answer Steve had. He didn't like it but it didn't look
like he was going to have the option. He sent the information thru the link and
was looked at funny.
~Steve, in my back pocket. I haven't slept in weeks. The potions don't work.
Merlin gave me the same answer.~
~So, now we are all going to sleep really good. I'll text the nannies. You
called classes off until after the battle so this works.~
~If I could just get a few hours I'd be satisfied~
Ginny nodded as Draco sent text messages. She was watching their kids run all
over the hall, they would be collected for bed shortly. She wanted Harry
healthy and if this us what it took to get him there, she was all for it. The
fact that he was afraid to smoke alone made her smile. More firsts that they
were doing together. Harry had never been drunk either.
As the sorting began there was once again no song and Harry wondered why. He
once again stood and called everyone's name, wanting to be apart of it.
"Welcome to Hogwarts. Before we eat I need the house prefects to collect a box
from Luca. Prefects will be passing out trackers and emergency port keys. They
will bring you directly to the great hall should you ever be in danger. Other
destinations are there but they will be given in the time of need. Once they
are on, they will not come off unless I take them off. We are at war and I will
not put you in danger needlessly."
He watched as every student slid their ring into place without hesitation and
looked back up at him. He was satisfied.
"Not just here. Whenever you find yourself in danger, for any reason. Now,
truth be told I'm exhausted and am looking forward to the extra time off. Let
the feast begin."
Harry sat down heavily as the food appeared on the table. Severus had been
trying to help Harry find a way to sleep for weeks now and finally went to
Helena. Setting a small case beside Harry's plate, he leaned in close.
"From Helena."
"Thanks dad. This is actually the only answer I got all day. Even from Merlin.
Steve slipped a cigarette case in my back pocket in Hogsmead when we were
hanging cameras. I took him into London a few days back."
"We all worry about you son. You need to sleep, especially with the battle
coming up."
"I know. It all snowballs. I don't sleep, I don't eat, I have no control. I'm
nervous, I've never done this before."
"A little secrete. I know for a fact Draco has. Slytherin boys live on the
edge."
"He told me. Yes, the nannies are in charge tonight. For the next few days
actually. I think they will make me sleep as much as possible."
Severus nodded knowing no one would see them for at least 2 days. It was a good
thing though. Harry needed some down time.
***
They sat outside on their balcony on large pillows in front of the stone
fireplace. Harry let Draco take the lead seeing how he was the only one who had
ever done this before. He explained it and got it going.
"I'm starting to get light headed. It's kind if nice actually." Ginny grinned
"Merlin don't tell your mother." Harry laughed "She would skin us alive."
"The great Harry Potter is afraid of Molly Weasley?" Draco laughed
"Bloody terrified! No you don't understand I had a conversation in her kitchen
about who took your virginity. I thought she was going to cut my balls off."
"That's where the rule came from. I get it now." Draco smirked "If she only
knew how long you had been fooling around with her daughter."
"Oh she knows. She has this tone you see. Now what I had been doing with her
daughter is another story. Narcissa wanted details, I couldn't do it."
"Mum was weird like that. Wanted details about everything."
Harry nodded as his brain started to shut down. It was the best feeling in the
world. He finally felt like he could sleep.
"Nothingness is awesome. Everything has just stopped."
"Your not quite there yet. I don't want you waking up in a few hours. She's
gone to la la land. Ginny, go to bed. We will be in shortly." Draco said
Ginny nodded and stumbled into the bedroom. Draco knew her world was spinning
and was going to take advantage of her absence. Without a word, he moved
everything closer and sat between Harry's knees. He was instantly gratified as
Harry wrapped an arm around him and held him close.
"I really miss just this. I just want you to hold me. A kiss wouldn't hurt."
Draco whispered
Harry smiled as he kissed Draco deeply. He missed the closeness, the feel of
this man in his arms. As he broke the kiss he snuggled in just holding on.
"I'm glad I made the choice that I did. I'm glad you excepted her. I love you
both so much. I've had plenty of alone time devoting all if me to her. Every so
often I just want you. Ok more often then one would think. I love you so much."
Draco closed his eyes and just let Harry hold him. Oh he didn't get enough of
just this.
"This is my favorite part. I love it when you hold me." Draco said softly
Harry nodded placing a kiss to Draco's neck as he sat up.
"I'm not letting you go. You said something about nothingness."
Draco laughed and lit another. Harry was going to sleep tonight.
***
Ginny woke the next morning at 9 alone on one side of the bed. Looking around
she saw Harry and Draco spooned together near the middle. Draco was awake and
put a finger to his lips as he motioned her over. She moved slowly to spoon
into him. As she settled she felt both of them pull her in, Harry was doing it
in his sleep.
~Im sorry love. I sent you to bed. I had been alone with him for months.~ Draco
sent over the link
~I understand. I have 2 of you to hold me when I need it. You only have Harry.
I'm not jealous. Great sleep.~
Draco nodded and kissed her shoulder. He loved her like he loved Harry, with
everything that he was. He wasn't sure if he would know how to live without
them and hoped he never had to find out.
As Harry began to stir, Draco sighed. He had been hopeing for another few
hours. The nannies had already been informed they would be indisposed for the
day and that grandparents would be there around lunch time. Draco was fully
prepared to get stoned again just to make Harry sleep.
"Time?"
"Near half 9." Draco replied
Harry rolled onto his back and stretched, yawning. He had nearly slept 12 hours
and felt like he needed 12 more. But for the first time in weeks he felt almost
human.
"Lets have breakfast and be lazy. After lunch I'm going to get you stoned
enough to nap. I just want you rested." Draco said sitting up
"I'm not going to argue. Nope, I'm still tired. The night before the battle we
will sit out there again. I need to be rested."
"Damn right. You need to eat too. You haven't done much of that either." Ginny
said
"Snowball effect."
They nodded as Harry went to use the loo. They took turns after Draco ordered
breakfast. It was time to fix Harry, that was their only goal.
After breakfast they cuddled together in the bed. Talking softly, just bring
together. Then Harry surprised them by drifting off to sleep with his head on
Draco's stomach. The blond wasn't going to complain as he continued to run his
fingers thru Harry's hair. Even if it was a light sleep it was still sleep.
Ginny smiled as she curled into Draco's side. Before she settled into sleep,
she rose up and kissed Draco softly. It was going to be a good day.
***
3 hours at a time seemed to be Harry's limit as he sat bolt upright in bed
breathing heavy. He was having visions again and rushed to write everything
down before he forgot. He had seen the battle play out in his mind, already
knew the out come.
As he finished he realized he had been sitting there for nearly an hour. He
couldn't thanked much more of this. Without saying a word, Harry handed the
stack of parchment to Draco and sat in an arm chair.
"Holy shit. What did the powers unlock exactly?" Draco asked
"Everything. I've had enough. This isn't the first either. There are several. I
have notebooks full. Every time I sleep, I see. And it's just too bloody much.
Prophecy should not come about like this. I shouldn't see what's going to
happen to me."
Draco got out of the bed to comfort him as Ginny read over the pages. They
wouldn't lose anyone, but Thomas would be taken protected by the contracts he
had signed. Helena as well. Luca and Emilie would be on under a spell for a
time. But they would be victorious. Thomas and Helena would escape on their
own, with information. It was too much.
"Harry, may I see your notebooks?" Ginny asked softly
Harry gave them to her with a thought and watched as she cut the bindings away.
They watched as she slowly put them in order.
"Tomorrow I am going to barrow Emilie's laptop-"
"You may as well just go get one. Have Dudley set it up. I can't do what you
do. You do well with puzzles." Harry smirked
"Thank you love. And a printer. I'll make sure I have everything I need. It's
time for order. Now lets have lunch and soak in a hit bath. No we are not going
to work today. We are relaxing. And that is that. I will not see you fall
apart. We need you love. No not the world, your family."
Harry smiled as he wrapped Draco in his arms. This is why they needed her. She
was the glue.

Author's notes: Tail end of summer
===============================================================================
Chapter 4: God Help Us All
Harry woke the day of the party wrapped around both Draco and Ginny. The night
before had been amazing but he didn't know who to wake first. The choice was
taken from him as Draco put him on his back and pinned him to the wbed. The
charms washed over him and he smirked.
"We are going to wake her up." He whispered
"She is awake and go right ahead. I am still worn out from last night. Just let
me sleep in."
Ginny rolled over as Draco pushed in. Harry arched trying to stay quiet. Draco
brought them to climax slowly, taking his time. It was more then a morning
quickie, but not quite their usual love making. But Harry wasn't going to
complain, it had been awhile since Draco had taken lead.
"Come on, lets let her sleep. I've missed you." Harry said softly
"We lead a crazy life. I've missed you too."
They went to shower only to continue what they had started. How quickly the
roles could be reversed, Harry thought as he buried himself deep. This however,
was a fuck and Draco was soon begging for more. It was going to be a very long
day.
***
Harry and Ginny went into London a few hours before the party, they were trying
to find something for Draco. They searched and still found nothing. Then Ginny
had an idea.
"How about another tattoo."
"Why don't we just let him pick."
Ginny shrugged and they went in their way. Something had been bugging Harry
about their daughter and he finally needed to say something. He had watched
their daughter go from this small 12 year old into a young women seemingly over
night. It bothered him.
"It wasn't over night Harry, it just felt that way. It happens if you remember
around right now. I went thru it and you watched. I just handled it a little
better then Emilie is. She's started realizing that being a girl is alot of
work. I want to look for her as well."
"We are being followed. It just took me by surprise. Maybe because she's been
in baggy sweatshirts and sweatpants."
They stopped to lean on a wall and the people who were following them gathered
in front of them.
"Looks like these walks in London have ended. Do you need something because I
can be very rude when its called for."
"Your a real person. Kind of star struck."
"That happens a lot. Lets just go home." Ginny sighed
"No, we have to go back up to Hogwarts, there are birthdays before and after.
We are shopping. Excuse us."
And after that, people kept their distance. They were able to shop in relative
peace. Harry want expecting anything big until his birthday. So they prepared
to go home and celebrate a few dozen birthdays.
***
"I'm going to pick up Rebekkah and her crew. Have Ginny tell you what happened
today."
Harry kissed Draco on the cheek before he was gone again. Rebekkah and the crew
were waiting in the lobby. This time they had duffle bags sitting beside them.
Harry smiled, he was ready for some fun.
"Been mobbed yet?" Rebekkah asked cheekily
"This morning yes. Ginny and I were birthday shopping in London. I'm going to
have to say something about it."
Rebekkah laughed and they readied themselves to go. Just like last time Harry
held out his arm and they were gone.
"Hey!" Ginny laughed as Rebekkah hugged her
"Hey, how are you?!"
"Good. Come on I'll show you to your rooms. Harry could you get those."
Harry rolled his eyes and snapped his fingers, the bags were now in everyone's
rooms.
"Show off." Ginny smirked
"No showing off would have been carrying them."
"Good point. Girls are waiting in the kitchen for you."
Harry sighed and went on his way. He had promised them they could help and
helping they had been. They helped trim meat. They made salads. Now they would
be broken up into groups of 3 to make bread. Harry really wasn't doing much at
all.
When Rebekkah and Ginny came into the kitchen, Harry was sitting at the table
looking board.
"Girls take over?"
"They normally do. I thought I had more to teach them."
"Ah, having a good sulk?"
"No not really. You can show them -"
"I haven't cooked in awhile either. They know how to work the pizza oven. They
already have it going. Here's a new one. RELAX."
Harry laughed as Ginny passed him Ian. The boy picked up his head to and looked
at him before snuggling back in. Apparently daddy was expectable. Harry told
the girls to clean up before he made his way out the back door. Draco had Evan
talking to some of the pack they didn't see very often. They had started a farm
and were doing very well. Chase was on Charlie's shoulder just chilling out.
The toddlers were with nannies splashing in the wading pool. Emilie and Luca
were walking up to the house with their stroller, looking a little tired. The
babies hadn't slept well again.
The little ones were having a hard time adjusting to the move. Harry wanted to
take them for a few nights but knew Emilie wouldn't allow it.
"Dad, you win. I'm exhausted."
"Hello to you too Emi. Alright. Here take your brother. Hey, got more infants."
Rebekkah ended up with Aubrey and was totally captivated. The camera man
started filming as she settled into an arm chair.
"This is Aubrey and she has just stolen my heart. Emilie, their not sleeping?"
"No. We moved into the guest house. It's like 200 yards from the main house. I
wanted my own space. I'm starting to rethink the idea and move back. They were
sleeping great. I'm going to talk to Nana Molly, she had 7 kids. She is the
baby master. Excuse me."
Rebekkah smiled and couldn't help but smell the little girls head. Clean baby.
"So if Steve would scan around, this is what a birthday party looks like at the
Malfoy-Potters. Harry how many birthdays are we celebrating today?"
"45. Mines the 31, Remus was the 18, Dudley was 27, Neville and Maddox are the
30. I could go on and on. But I won't. Steve, just watch. Oi! Raise your hand
if your birthday is in July!"
Hands went up all over the lawn and Rebekkah laughed. Yes this was going to be
a great party.
Around 2 the grill was fired up and once again it was taken over, but by the
boys this time. Harry just shook his head and let them go. He didn't like being
pushed out of the way all the time. He went looking for someone to talk to and
spied Luca and Emilie curled up on a lounger sound asleep. Thomas and Helena on
another watching kids play.
"Thomas, when is your birthday? I keep forgetting to look."
"August 10th. Mum and dad asked too. I'm not used to parties like this. This is
fun."
Harry sighed then he felt it. Thomas sat up and pointed, he had felt it too.
All around them people were going still. There was a disturbance in the wards
on the west side of the manor. Harry already knew who it was.
"Everyone out of the pool! Kids to the house. Adults with me."
No one questioned and did as they were told. On command a dozen wolves ran
ahead to investigate. Harry cursed as he realized no one had shoes or shirts on
and everyone was in swim trunks. Dumbledore was never going to let him live
this one down.
"Thomas stay near the core. Do not let yourself be led off. None of you."
"Yes sir." They answered
They reached the wards and just stood there. Dumbledore couldn't get in.
"What are you hoping to accomplish? I have strengthened the wards you idiot."
Harry asked
"I want you dead!"
"Yeah. You've been trying for years and you haven't accomplished it yet. I
don't ride the express either, or my kids. Hang that one up. You will have to
declare a battle. Just get it over with."
"Hogsmead. September 5. Fully loaded. Noon."
"We will be there. Now as you can tell we are in the middle of a party.
Birthdays are important to us."
Dumbledore sneered and turned to leed his death eaters away.
"Albus, did you honestly forget everything you taught me?"
Dumbledore turned and for the first time in awhile looked human. Harry crossed
his arms and walked forward. This man had meant a great deal to him at one
point in time. He had a lot left to say.
"When I was younger I trusted you. I looked to you for guidance. Then you
started to change and I realized that you didn't really care about me at all. I
was just another life for you to destroy. It hurt Albus because before the
triwizard I would've done anything you asked. Now however, after reading your
personal journals I don't want to be anywhere near you. You make my stomach
turn. You are evil and I will take you down."
"You are my greatest mistake."
"And your biggest regret. Good day Albus."
"Happy Birthday Harry, Thomas."
They watched as Albus dissapered with a crack, leaving them to stare at where
he had stood. Turning to his family, Harry smiled.
"Lets just have some fun."
Harry wrapped an arm around Thomas' shoulders as they made their way back to
the house. Nothing was going to tear this family apart. Nothing.
*******
When Harry climbed out of bed July 31 he nearly fell to the floor. He was shaky
and unsteady. He felt hot and nauseous. His head was pounding and it hurt to
open his eyes.
"Fuck. Draco, go get dad and Eli. Wake Ginny up, she needs to put clothes on."
"What's the matter?"
"I feel weird."
Draco nodded and reached over to wake Ginny. As they pulled their clothes on
Ginny's worry spiked. Harry was never ill. Ever. So she sat down beside him on
the bed and took his hand.
"What the hell?" Harry whispered
"Not sure. They'll be back shortly. Morning dad."
Severus walked in still in his pajamas. Everyone knew that Harry meant a great
deal to the man and he would do anything for him. As he sat down on the side of
the bed he realized Harry hadn't put clothes on.
"I can't stand up. I get all dizzy. My head is pounding. I feel like I'm going
to be sick. My body hurts. I feel like my body is on fire. It hurts to open my
eyes." Harry told him
"Sounds to me like your coming of age."
"It sucks."
Severus laughed as Eli entered the room. Without a word he cast a diagnostic
spell and waited for the results.
"This is your finial change. You are coming of age. All I can tell you to do is
stay right there. We will watch you for the day. Your body is going to be going
thru a lot of stress. Sleep is the best thing. I can't give you anything
either."
"Alright. Thanks Eli." Harry said softly
He was already starting to fall back to sleep. He was just so tired. So he gave
into it and just slept.
DREAM
Harry stood in the center of a black room wondering what the hell was going on.
There was a chair beside him but he did not sit. He was dressed in a set of
white silk robes that felt cool to the touch. His body felt different, as if he
had grown again. His magic felt stronger as did his body. He felt complete.
At the far end of the room directly in front of him a table became high
lighted. 12 people sat at the table, 6 males and 6 females. They too were
dressed in white. Harry knew who they were without an introduction. They were
The Powers and they had brought him there. He was all at once terrified.
"You have no need to fear us. Please, sit down Harrison, we have much to talk
about. My name is Malack. I am the one whom sent for you."
Harry sat down and his chair was brought to the table. He closed his eyes and
took a deep breath as he folded his hands in his lap.
"I'm sorry. This is strange even for me and a lot of strange things keep
happening to me."
"And they will continue to do so. You are just now coming of age. You have many
years ahead of you. Your power is about to reach its maximum. It will remain
that way until you leave your world. You alone can keep both worlds from
falling apart, but the road will not be an easy one. When you awaken, you will
know magic not done in hundreds of years. The lock will be removed and you will
just know. You will know many tongues to help guide you on your way. You will
only grow 3 inches, but you will fill out. This is your birthright. You are the
Son of Merlin. Protector of Earth and man."
"May I ask why my loved ones remained?"
"Because they were taken from you unjustly. When Emilie requested them it was
the perfect opportunity to reward you. You will also be granted another Phenoix
who goes by the name Leonidas. He will be blue. There will also be a panther
cub at your feet, she is Rhya. They will help guide you. This war is far from
over. It's time to prepare."
Harry nodded and took another deep breath. The Powers looked at him in
expectation.
"We expected questions."
"I've learned to just roll with it. Will we conceive any children before the
war is truly over?"
"No. Dumbledore has placed enough on your plate as it is."
"This is going to be weird. I have so much I need to do. I never seem to have
enough time to accomplish everything. I blinked and Emilie seems to have
blossomed over night. I have walking toddlers. I have 3 brand new infants. Can
I get a time frame? How long will this go on?"
"7 years. It's time for you to wake up. You will have a splitting headache, but
it will ebb over time. All blocks have been removed and you are ready to face
this task."
"Thank you."
Everything faded and he felt himself start to wake slowly. Someone was wiping
his face with a cool cloth and he sighed. He was still burning up. At his feet
he could feel Ryha and shifted. He needed to move, he felt stiff and needed a
shower.
"You have been out for 3 days. Slowly now."
Severus. Harry grunted and turned his face into the cloth. He was still trying
to process what he had been told. Rhya decided she wanted some attention and
moved from his feet to cuddle into his side.
"Leo?" Harry whispered
The phenoix sang quietly in response and Harry sighed. Slowly he opened his
eyes and looked around. He was still in the master bedroom, in the same spot he
fell asleep in 3 days before.
"Draco and Ginny have been kicking us out at 9 every night. They've been
sleeping in here with you. The cub has been here since you fell asleep, Phenoix
too. The cub is rather fond of Draco. It's pretty funny actully to see him
cuddle a panther cub."
"Rhya. Oh my head. I need to move." Harry whispered "I need coffee, I think
that will help with my head."
"Emi moved back. She's been so worried. The babies are sleeping better too.
Ginny and Draco gave them a nursery."
"That's good. Rebekkah still here?"
"Yes. They refused to leave until they knew you were ok. Now, both Ginny and
Draco went to have their eyes checked. Draco didn't want to go, Lucius had to
go with him."
"In other words he acted like a child?"
"Oh it gets worse. Both needed glasses. Ginny is far sighted, not too bad
though. Draco has astigmatism. Both have to wear their glasses at all times.
Ginny doesn't have a problem with it. Draco carries his around in his pocket."
"I'll talk to him. Do you have a headache cure somewhere on your - Ah, thank
you. I have a cuddle bug on my hands with this one. Rhya, what are you doing?"
Harry downed the potion and turned to the cub who was on her back with her
belly exposed. It was Severus who reached over and rubbed the exposed belly.
"She is a silly girl. I'll go get Draco and Ginny. Are you cooling off?"
"Yes. I hurt all over. I think a soak would be a good idea. Yes I have what I
need in the bathroom. I'm just glad it's over with. I have alot to tell
everyone, but I need to take care of me first."
Severus nodded and sighed. He had been so worried. As he stood, Harry laughed.
"Could I barrow some clothes? I grew 3 inches and need to go shopping again."
"I'll get them."
"Dad, thanks for everything."
Severus smiled and sat back down to hug his son. He didn't want to say anything
to destroy the moment.
"Anytime son. I love you."
"I love you too."
Severus stood and left the room to tell Ginny and Draco Harry was awake. They
had all expected maybe 24 hours not 72. Harry had gone thru the growth within
hours of falling into a deep sleep. He had been sweating and burning up for
days. Now he seemed to be fine and that's all Severus could hope for.
"He's requested you. Draco put your glasses on. They are not going to do any
good in your pocket."
Draco sneered as he walked past Severus, but he put his glasses on. It felt
like a weakness and he didn't like it. Ok so now the world was in perfect
focus, but he still didn't like it. He and Ginny had both been suffering from
headaches, now not so much.
When they walked into the room, Harry smiled. Rhya, stood and waited for them
to climb onto the bed before curling up next to Draco.
"Keep them on. It's not a weakness. I wore glasses until last summer. I did
just fine." Draco pulled a face as he settled in with his head on Harry's
shoulder.
"He's always being told to put them on. I've been tempted to use a sticking
charm on his face. Have a nice nap?" Ginny asked
Harry looked down at her as he twisted his fingers thru her hair. He had missed
them both terribly. He felt disconnected from them and he didn't like it. He
needed to spend a day wrapped up in them, but it want going to happen right
now.
"You left the door open. Clothing. See you at lunch."
Harry laughed as Severus left the room firmly closing the door behind him.
Resting his head atop Draco's he closed his eyes and allowed himself to soak in
the comfort. Ginny decided to move and lay on his other side so Draco could be
properly held. Even with 3 days of sweating and no bath Harry still didn't
stink.
"I really need to bathe. Oh but I don't want to move. Open the link wide. Can
we just feel for a few?"
Ginny and Draco smiled as they cuddled in and opened the link. They talked
quietly as they let their emotions flow. Harry closed his eyes and became drunk
with it.
After 10 minutes Harry sighed and started the bath.
"I'm going to need some help. I'm really stiff." Harry said softly
"We will help you. How tall are you now?" Ginny asked
"6'5. I'm not going to grow anymore. Ginny maybe you could call Emilie to take
Rhya out? Love I'm 15 inches taller then you are, only about 6 inches taller
then Draco."
"I can do that. Rhya likes Emile. I'm not offended, it's just a fact of life."
Ginny picked up the cub and for the first time Harry noticed the collar and
leash. They had been training his cub while he was asleep. As he settled in the
tub he sighed. He was in heaven.
"I feel gross."
Draco laughed and kissed him softly. Harry smiled as Draco caressed his cheek,
leaning into the touch.
"I'll leave you to it then. If I get in that tub it would be a free for all."
"I know. I'll be out in a bit."
Draco nodded and kissed him again before leaving the bathroom. Harry just sat
for about 10 minutes before he started to wash. His muscles were starting to
loosen, he was gaining the ability to move. By the end of the bath, he was
confident he wasn't going to need any help to get out.
He slowly climbed out of the tub, avoiding the mirror as he did so. He wasn't
ready to see what changes his body had gone thru. So he wrapped a towel around
his hips and went about brushing his teeth. After that he couldn't avoid it
anymore and looked up.
His eyes were a brighter emerald then they were before. His face was more
angular, he no longer held the softness of a child. His shoulders were wider.
His chest, arms, and abs more defined. His legs felt stronger as well. The
changes were extremely pleasant but surprising.
Then he closed his eyes and focused on his magic. Before this change his magic
was a rich gold color. Now however it was bright pure white and blinding.
Slowly he pulled back, slightly shocked at what he had found. He couldn't
remember ever hearing of a white core before.
When he entered the bedroom Ginny was sitting in Draco's lap. They had their
fingers laced together, arms wrapped tight. Harry smirked as he leaned over the
back of the sofa and added himself to the equation.
"Nice bath?" Ginny smirked
"Yes. So do we have a plan or do I get to decide?"
"Dad had your breakfast sent up. You need to eat before we do anything." Draco
smirked at him
In reply Harry kissed him deeply, making his husband moan. He then kissed
Ginny, getting the same response. Then his stomach rumbled loudly.
"Yeah that would be a good idea. So Emilie moved back in?"
"Yeah. The littles just didn't agree with it. Maybe as they get older. I wanted
to talk to you about possibly-"
"No."
Draco smirked as Harry dove into a plate of eggs and toast. He knew if he
waited Harry would give him a proper explanation. He knew there was more to it
then Harry being a dick.
"I went to see The Powers, they sent for me."
And there it was. They waited as Harry finished his breakfast and sat back. He
was trying to organize his thoughts so he could explain properly.
"My parents and Sirius are a reward. They were taken from me unjustly and the
powers felt I needed them back. This war will last for 7 years. We will not
conceive a child of our own until the war is over. They said we had enough on
our plate with the ones Dumbledore created. They said that only I could keep
both worlds from falling apart and have gifted me with languages. Leonidas and
Rhya are also gifts. They said that strange things would keep happening to me.
I also was gifted with knowing. I have all the answers, it's all in my head.
Now it's time for us to prepare. Leo, why don't you find Emilie and she will
introduce you to Ulysses. She handles Phenoix care."
The bird whistled in reply and vanished in a flash if blue flame. Harry sighed.
"We need to start preparing and I don't even know where to begin."
"I think that alone time can wait. I think that we need to assure everyone your
ok, then we need to sit down and plan. Nap time would be best. As much as I'd
like it stay in this room, something's are just more important." Draco sighed
Harry and Ginny nodded yes something's were just more important.

Helena sat with the contracts she had been working on in hand. She had asked
Thomas to meet her after all the kids were where they needed to be. She wanted
to ensure Dumbledore would never be able to claim ownership of Thomas. But she
was nervous. They hadn't ever discussed anything like this before.
As Thomas entered the room he could smell the tension and became nervous. When
he sat she handed him 2 contracts to read over. Then they would talk about it.
It didn't take him long.
"Lets go find dad and Harry. I don't want to take any chances."
Helena nodded and picked up the velvet bag that was sitting beside her. She had
Luca make their rings and she had Wilbur get the tattoo bracelets. Nervous
wouldn't even begin to cover it.
They knocked on Harry's office door and waited. Draco answered a few minutes
later looking very frustrated.
"I need to see my dad and Harry." Helena said firmly
Draco nodded and let them in. They were in the middle of a planning pow wow
from the looks of it. Papers, books, and maps were everywhere. Rhya was curled
up at Draco's feet purring softly, both phenoixs were perched on the back of
arm chairs. No one in the room looked very happy.
"Lena found a solution to me. Dad read this one. Harry read this one. Then
switch." Thomas said
They sat as contracts were read then passed. Then both Harry and Severus sat
back, thinking.
"This would solve it. We were talking about this earlier. They would enter the
marriage contract and the submissive contract at the same time. It would
nullify any claim Dumbledore may have on him. I agree with this." Severus said
shocking everyone
"As do I. Has anyone - Ah, thank you love."
Harry took the offered quill from Draco and passed it to Helena along with the
contracts. Quickly they all signed and the contracts vanished.
"Congratulations. Remember August 3rd Thomas and never ever forget it." Harry
laughed
Draco glared at him and crossed his arms, Harry just smirked back. Everyone in
the room waited for Harry to forget his own advise.
"June 17th and June 18th. I am not stupid enough to forget that."
Draco smirked and sighed. Everyone knew that Harry would never forget. Then
Helena pulled the velvet bag open and pulled out the jewelry boxes. She decided
to start with the wedding bands.
"It will do you lot well to listen to what I'm about to say. This ring will
fuse itself to your promise ring. It is also an emergency port key. The safe
word is wolf. It will take you back to wolf manor. Mine will do the same."
They watched as the rings fused together as Helena slid it into place. The band
now looked twisted, one shinny one flat. In addition there was a round amethyst
stone in the center. Helena's was just a thin gold band that completed her set.
She was pleased with the result.
"These I sent Wilbur after. Sorry Harry. They are just like Draco's, only
customized to meet our need. It's the infinity symbol and the links of the
chain will encircle our wrists. The left."
Helena clasp the bracelet and watched it vanish into Thomas' wrist. He then did
the same. They then turned to those gathered in the room and smirked.
"Need any help? Thomas call Luca and Emilie. Lets get a dent put on this."
Helena knelt beside the table and started to sort without getting a reply.
Thomas soon joined her as they waited for their back up.
"Harry text Ron and Hermione, we could use them as well. Fred and George can
help with I few ideas I have. Ginny's started dinner with the girls, I'll text
her shortly. So, this is what we are going to do,"
Helena started passing pages of notes and breaking people up into groups. They
needed a better system and she had just found it, Harry would float. By the
time everyone joined them they were elbow deep in it.
***
Harry was on the receiving end of many hugs when he walked into dinner that
night. He ended up just sitting down in a chair and hugged anyone who wanted to
be hugged. They were just so happy to see him, it wasn't something that Harry
really understood.
The meal was recorded and Rebekkah assured him it was apart of what she had
planned. They were celebrating him late, with chocolate cupcakes and presents.
Harry couldn't help but smilie. After presents it was Helena and Donovan who
had the surprise.
"Normally us girls have a dance meet around this time and use Harry birthday as
a dress rehearsal. We haven't even sat down and talked about it. Sure we still
dance, but it's the best exercise on the planet. So Donnie and I have decided
to play a few tunes. As most of you know this is how we survived for a year and
a half before I came here. I'd like to share abit of myself with you. Happy
birthday brother."
Harry smiled as Helena sat down on the floor beside Donovan and quickly tuned
her guitar. They started to play Goo Goo Dolls Iris and silence fell. Helena
was pouring her self into the words, feeling the emotions behind the words.
They went right into Hoobastabk The Reason, followed by Switchfoot I Dare You
to Move, and Lifehouse You & Me. When the last cord faded out, there was
silence.
"Why do you lot insist on shocking beyond reson and doing it on birthdays? I
don't understand it." Severus asked dumbfounded
Hermione however got everyone going as she always did. By this time the tables
were cleared and Emilie passed around a look. Oh they had something up their
sleeves, always did. Helena smirked as she handed Donovan her shoes. Emilie was
just too good at this.
"Alright you know the drill! We would like to let off some steam! We have put
together a 10 minute mash up! Lets do this!" Helena shouted "This is what we do
every morning, and their are several. I'm never had this much fun working out
before."
Everyone moved out of the way and the tables vanished. Rebekkah was left to
just stare as Ginny joined the girls. Apparently there was a lot this family
could do. When the music started the girls let lose, they hadn't danced in
quite sometime. Not for an audience.
And the camera rolled catching it all. These were kids being kids. These were
the people who were meant to save the world. God Help them.
What Rebekkah didn't yet understand was that they had some of the most
brilliant minds in the world living under one roof. They would soon let her
knew that as soon as the kids were in bed for the night.
*******
Harry invited Rebekkah into the family room where they were working. Everyone
was spread out in groups, spilling out into the foryer where Luca was working
on port keys. She was told no cameras and she had respected that. What she saw
was totally blowing her mind. Ron, Severus, Remus, Lucius, and Thomas had a
projected map working out battle plans. Hermione, Emilie, Ginny, and Helena
were drawing up uniforms and researching ways to develop weapons. The Weasley
twins were off in the corner making smoke bombs and knock out gas. Harry said
they had a few more things up their sleeves but wasn't sure he wanted to know.
"Gas masks." Rebekkah said absently
"Yeah, I want to fight not be taken out early. Here, do you think you could
find a place where we can get like 1000. I want back ups. Bookmark the site.
What? Hey, I like this one. She has a point. It was her idea, she can help.
She's muggle, think about it." Emilie smirked
"You have a point."
"I have a few other ideas as well. Let me work on it and I will get back to
you." Rebekkah said as she typed
Harry nodded and ended up developing things with the Weasley twins. Rebekkah
realized that this was a lot bigger then she realized. And as Emilie explained
the hexes and curses in detail she shook her head. God, help them all.
***** Chapter 6: And On The Battle Gield Fools Are Made *****

Author's notes: Battle one..... Well kinda
===============================================================================
Chapter 6: On The Battle Field Fools Are Made
Harry walked into the great hall late the next morning. He had spent extra time
laying on the floor as toddlers beat him up. He had missed his kids, but he
needed the sleep he had gotten.
"How are you?" Severus asked as he sat down
"Bloody fantastic. I have slept 30 hours in the last day and finally feel
human. We have alot to plan for. Dad I'm having visions. Ginny's going to get a
laptop so she can transcribe what I have written. I have a bad habit of short
hand."
"I've noticed. I'm happy you slept. You have your appetite back as well. I
remember all I wanted to do was eat after the charms were removed."
"I'm always hungry. Gin wanted me to ask you where you get your pajama pants.
Mine I can't extend anymore."
Severus picked up his phone and sent Ginny a message with the address. She
would be able to find anything Harry needed there.
"Thanks Dad! I love you!" Ginny shouted
"Anytime Ginny." Severus replied
Harry just shook his head. His family was odd.
"Draco for the love of Merlin put your glasses on! You are going to give
yourself a headache!" Harry called
Draco sneered at him as he pulled his glasses from his pocket and put them on.
No one laughed at him as he picked up his letter again and continued to read.
He was embarssed Harry knew but they were given to him for a reason.
Harry was reading his own post when Lucius came into the great hall. He was
dressed in muggle jeans and a sweater with a polo underneath, the loafers he
had come to favor on his feet. His appearance shocked most of the student body.
Not nearly as much as his attire.
"You need to read this." Lucius said as he reached Harry
Harry took the offered book without really looking up and started to read where
Lucius had pointed.
It was about Dumbledores plans for the stone. Lucius had found the small bit of
information that they had been missing. Dumbledore was currently using the
stone to prolong his life. He theorized that prolonged use of the elixir would
render him immortal. He was on his 6th year and since Flamel and his wife were
dying slowly, they were still alive. It was magnificent and terrifying all at
the same time.
"I need Dumble-Fuck out of my cottage. I am going to need to get a team in
there while the battle is raging. Molly and Mum you think?"
Severus nodded and read the passage.
"I'm thinking that he would keep them on his person. We need to do another map
scan. He still has DNA. Oh it just never ends."
"No it doesn't. I do have a plan, I'll just wait."
Harry tucked back into his breakfast as Lucius dined with his son. Lucius had
gone to have his eyes checked as well and was now the proud owner of a pair of
glasses. Harry just smiled, that was one way to get Draco to wear his.
***
Over the next 3 days they planned and fitted everyone with battle robes. They
had the same leather suit underneath and a royal blue silk over robe. The robes
had the persons name on them. They would be passed out at dinner. Remus had
taken robes to the pack, giving them instructions to bring the kids to
Hogwarts. They needed every able body to fight and Harry's army was born.
That night the triad locked themselves in their room at 8:30. No one questioned
it knowing what was waiting on the horizon. Harry held Ginny till she was too
stoned to stay awake, then they tucked her into bed. Then it was Harry Draco
time.
They sat in the same fashion as they did before only this time Harry wanted
more. Stoned enough to not give a fuck, Harry slid his hand into Draco is sleep
pants as they sat snogging.
"Oh fuck Harry, why do you tease." Draco moaned adjusting his hips and
spreading his legs.
Harry's fingers caressed Draco's entrance as he cast the charms. Harry slowly
began to stoke as he kissed Draco's neck wanting to mark him.
"You want more?" Harry whispered
"Yes."
"I want you flat on your back. Legs spread wide. I want you displayed before
me. I want to look upon what's mine. In the morning I want you to watch as I
claim our wife. Then I want you in me."
Draco moaned in antisipaton as he went to his knees. He was stopped by Harry's
hands on his hips, erection firmly pressed between his cheeks.
"Perhaps not yet. I like to hear you. I'm going to put a bubble up." Harry
rasped "You are so perfect."
Draco shivered as his pajamas were pulled down to expose his ass. It had been
too long since Harry had been with just him alone. Draco loved it. Then Harry's
fingers entered him and he moaned. He began pushing back, fucking himself.
"God I love watching you do this."
Harry crooked his fingers making Draco push back hard. Harry smirked as he
added another finger. Draco was beginning to beg and Harry knew he was ready.
Pulling his fingers free, Harry angled his cock to Draco's entrance and gently
pulled Draco to him. Draco pushed back to him, taking him all in one go.
"Fuck, so tight. As tight as the first time."
Harry brought Draco to his chest and held him there. Draco needed something to
happen and squeezed the cock deep inside him.
"Holy shit. Rotate your hips. Fuck, just like that."
Draco felt like he was melting. He wanted more, needed more. He could stay like
this forever as long as Harry was holding him. Gently he was pushed back down
to his hands and knees. He was half crazy with need and didn't care what Harry
did to him.
Harry waited just a few seconds before he started to move. He went slowly,
wanting to enjoy himself. But climax was building too quickly and he picked up
the pace. Within minutes they were shouting into the night sky.
"Damn it never last long enough." Harry panted
"No it doesn't."
Casting a cleaning charm, Harry fixed his pants as Draco fixed his. They hadn't
even undressed.
"Come here, I want to hold you." Harry said as he sat back
Draco I didn't hesitate and snuggled into Harry's arms. Harry needed to sleep
and they continued what they started.
***
Harry woke in stages the next morning. Between the sex and the weed he was
completely relaxed. The first time it was still dark, so he held onto Draco a
bit tighter and closed his eyes. The second time he woke dawn was just peeking
thru the windows and he just wasn't ready yet. The third time the sun had fully
risen a d Ginny had moved in closer to them wrapped in Draco's arms. He moved
to lay behind her, needing to be closer.
"Good morning. Sleep well?" Ginny whispered
"I did."
Harry started kissing from her shoulder to her ear. She smiled as she pressed
back into him.
"We are going to wake Draco up." Ginny whispered
"I'm not ready to wake up yet. We had our time last night. I'm going back to
sleep." Draco mumbled
Ginny smirked as Draco rolled over. Within a minute Draco was snoring softly
already back to sleep. They moved over to the other side of the bed, Ginny
happily pinned beneath Harry. Alone time was hard to come by these days, she
wasn't going to complain.
"So what do you have in mind love?"
Harry shook his head and kissed her deeply. With nothing more then a thought,
skin met skin and they both moaned. Hands groped as Harry cast a bubble over
them.
"I don't want to wait. Please." Ginny whispered
Harry rested his forehead against hers and entered her in one go. Sex was
different with each of them, Harry knew. But he enjoyed both of them. Ginny was
soft where Draco was hard. Ginny was more demanding where Draco pliant.
Ginny liked it rough, Draco didn't care as long as the focus was on him. Harry
could never get enough of either of them.
He started slowly picking up the pace as he moved. He wanted more the a quick
fuck. They were about to head into battle, he wanted to make this one count.
Their bodies had gotten fast hard quick fucks and as climax approached Harry
stopped, kissing Ginny deeply.
"Why did you stop? Fuck please keep going." Ginny begged as he kissed her neck
Harry shook his head as he continued to tease. Then the bubble came down and
they both looked over to see Draco watching them.
"It's 6am. We are not leaving this bed until 8." He smirked
He leaned in and kissed Ginny as Harry kissed his neck. He loved watching them
as much as he liked getting involved. Draco then turned his attention to Harry
kissing him as he was pulled in closer.
"This what you had in mind?" He asked
Harry smirked at him as he turned his attention back to Ginny. He lifted up
enough to let Draco's hand between them and Ginny arched as he reached his
target. Harry turned his attention back to Ginny's neck as she came around him,
clenching him tight.
"Fuck! I need to move." Harry grunted
Draco just smirked as he kissed Ginny. He continued to work her as Harry drove
her up over the edge.
"Shit! Not this again! I shouldn't have stopped!"
Ginny giggled. Every once in awhile Harry's magic would let him cum when he
wanted to. It was something Ginny found to be very funny. Smiling over at
Draco, she kissed him softly.
"Looks like its your turn love."
"No, his."
Harry felt the charms was over him as he lay down on his back. He liked it
better this way, he liked to see Draco's face. He arched up as Draco pushed in,
he actually missed this. He loved to feel his husband inside him and it had
been too long since he had been. It promised to be a long slow fuck as Draco
angled himself to hit Harry's prostate.
"Fuck!" Harry cursed as he arched
Draco smirked as Harry started to mumble, he was teetering on the edge. Draco
knew better then to leave him there for too long and started moving faster.
Both came with a shout within seconds of each other.
They all lay there in a tangle of limbs, not wanting to move. But Harry started
the shower taking the choice from them.
"We have a lot left to do. We have to get everything going." Harry said softly
"We really do. Come on, lets get ready to head down stairs." Ginny sighed
The boys followed her to the bathroom and into the shower. It was going to be a
very busy day.
***
Harry, Ginny, and Draco walked into the great hall as a unit. Everyone was
already there, children included. The village was being emptied out and
uniforms handed out to those who wanted to fight. There numbers grew again as
Kingsley showed up with the Aurors. They willingly changed and received a port
key. Luca would make rings in his spare time never knowing when they would be
needed.
Ginny led the kids up to the room of requirement. After it was properly set up
she would seal them in. Only one of the triad would be able to let them out.
When she walked into the great hall again Harry was putting their mark on
everyone's robes.
She took the time to admire Harry in his robes. He was wearing the same leather
suit they all were, but his over robe was different. His was emerald green,
trimmed in gold. Their mark on the front in gold. On his left hip hung
Gryffindors pride, a friend that had saved his life once before, the sword that
only he could weld. His gas mask hung on his right hip, ready to go. He looked
amazing.
"Gin, do you want your short staffs?" Harry asked
"Yeah. Is Draco going to be with the archers?"
"No. He's going to be with us. Rhya won't leave his side. Leonidas and Ulysses
will be there as well. I'm a bit nervous. Prophecy is meant to pass. Mine
terrify me. I need to go talk to Emi and Luca. I want them to permit me to
enter their mind if need be."
Ginny nodded as kissed him softly before he walked off. Gibbs came up beside
her and pulled her into a hug.
"Alright there old man?" Ginny laughed
"As much for me as for you. I'm hugging everyone I hold dear to me. I will not
waste the opportunity. I love you my dear as an uncle loves his niece."
"I love you too uncle Gibbs. Go on now."
Ginny laughed as Gibbs made his way around the room telling those he cared
about he loved them. It was beautiful and Ginny went about doing the same
thing.
"It's 11! Time to go! Everyone load up! You have your orders follow them!
Dudley can you hear me?"
Harry nodded as Dudley gave a thumbs up at the head table. He had 4 laptops and
his computer in front of him, he'd be watching the cameras. Everyone got a
crash course in muggle tech that day as everyone was fitted with an earpiece to
be given directions.
Harry led the way out of the great hall and into the waiting carriages. They
packed them full having more people then wheels. Upon arrival, Harry began
casting highly complex charms over the buildings trying to protect them as much
as possible. Illusions were set up to offer farther protection and to hide how
many people they really had.
Draco set up the archers, as Ginny talked to those who chose staffs. Harry
alone carried a sword, the only one really capable of welding one.
As the clock crept closer to noon, tension filled the air. This was the first
of several battles that would be called before this war ended. Harry knew the
outcome, but even that wasn't comforting.
Cracks of apparation sounded in the air and everyone went on guard. Albus led
his mere 160 forward, smirking as only Harry, Draco, and Ginny stood visible.
Harry just smirked, little did Albus know that he was out numbered nearly 4 to
1. He was just going to keep that one to himself.
"Do you have Bella with you?" Ginny asked
"Of course! Why are you so interested?" Dumbledore asked
"I want a one on one. Crazy bitch against crazy bitch. I win and we get Bella.
I lose, well my life would be forfeit. Harry is always telling me I'd beat her.
I want my chance."
Harry and Draco both stood smirking as Bella walked forward. She circled Ginny
in away that made their skin crawl.
"No. I think I'll take her as my pet. We all know Draco isn't into the softer
sex. She's more then likely sex depraved."
"Oh you are quite ignorant aren't you? A complete triad, we are completely
committed to each other. You wouldn't know great sex if you were lucky enough
to get it. I have been told all Potter men are fantastic in bed. It sets the
bar quite high. And on several occasions, Harry has been bested."
"Is that right? Well you'll be useless to me then. Shall we?"
"Yes please. A good duel is often better then sex."
"Oh I agree."
Harry stood beside Draco trying to figure out Ginny's tactic. He knew a good
fight always got Ginny off, but now everyone else did as well. Ginny danced her
way as close to Bellitrix as she dared, pulling her staffs. In a few swipes
Bellitrix was flat on her back and disarmed.
"All without a single charm. I'm a level 1 master bitch. Apparently you didn't
get the memo. Cover."
Harry and Draco moved back into poisson as Ginny bond Bellitrix tight and sent
her up to the castle. Dudley would let everyone know.
"That was quite impressive. But there are only 3 of you." Dumbledore said
"It's not number, it's skill. If you really want to be impressed you should
watch what Ginny, Draco and I can do. And there are 480 of us. You have 160.
You are vastly out numbered and out skilled. I am going to give you one chance
to walk away."
"Never. I will teach you to respect your elders."
"Oh I do. I just don't respect you. You and me Albus, student against master?"
"So it shall be."
Harry bowed then nodded to Draco. The blond took ten paces back and shot an
arrow high into the air. The death eaters watched as over 100 arrows flew at
them as Harry and Draco put their gas masks on. The arrows exploded over the
death eaters covering them in a cloud of knock out gas. The death eaters
scattered, covering their faces with their robes, some weren't so lucky.
The illusions vanished and Harry's army came out in force. The death eaters
were quickly taken out and sent up to the castle for holding. Now it was only
Dumbledore and Harry who remained and they hadn't even begun.
"Everyone but the core return to the castle and help with questioning. Auror
Potter and Auror Black are in charge."
The Core stood off to the side under a dome Draco erected. Now it was time for
trash talk, Harry would never cast first.
"This entire battle was anti climactic. It felt like I over prepared." Harry
smirked
"It was a good plan, I will admit that. You have more resource at your finger
tips then I first thought. Well done."
"I want our DNA and I want the stone."
"I can't allow that."
"Lets make a wager then. I win and I get what I've asked for. You win and you
face what you've done. We are alot smarter then you think and we will find it."
"How many more have I created Harrison? That is the question you should be
asking yourself."
"We will find them, we always do. I have 12 children and 3 grand children. I am
an uncle and a brother and a cousin. I love them all, they are mine how could I
not."
Albus cast a curse and Harry twisted out of its path. He didn't cast, just let
Albus let his rage out.
"Why will you not fight back?!"
"Because your anger will be your downfall. Staffs Gin!"
Ginny tossed her staffs in Harry's direction and smirked. Harry wasn't going to
use magic at all.
"I've trained many, but first I had to train myself. Magic is easy to fall back
on. It's always there, it lives inside you. But you can not always use it.
Unless you have a wand. I don't need one, its always an option for me. The
human body is an amazing thing when properly trained. Come on, let me show you
what I'm capable of. Master to master."
Albus sent a volley of curses in Harry's direction, most of which would do
serious bodily harm. He watched as Harry avoided each and every one of them
without casting a single spell. What he wasn't paying attention to was the fact
that Harry was getting closer, until it was too late. He found himself disarmed
and flat on his back, Harry's staff across his throat.
"How in the hell did you do that?" Albus asked
"Years of endless practice. That would be the elder wand, the DNA, and the
stone. I hope you have elixir on hand."
"I do. Inside pocket, left side."
"Thomas."
Thomas jogged over and excepted what Harry handed him. He then picked up the
wand and backed away. Harry helped Dumbledore to his feet and held out his
hand. Albus took it.
"You are far too noble for your own good." Albus said
"I'm doing this by the book Albus. This will not be the last time we face off.
It's just the first of many. Now, I'm placing you under arrest. You have a hell
of a trial to stand. Then you can really have a go of it when you break out of
Azkaban with your followers."
"Your so sure of that?"
"I'm counting on it. A little rest never hurt anyone."
Harry bound the man who had once been a friend and led him up to the castle.
They walked, talking as they went. Harry realized that there was more history
between them then he thought, but he couldn't let that cloud his judgement.
"Dray, call Rhya. She's wandered off again." Ginny laughed
Draco stopped and looked around, she wasn't there. Then he spotted movement off
to the left and stopped Luca just incase.
"Rhya! Where are you?!" Draco called
Rhya came out of the bushes running to him. Draco shook his head as he picked
her up and carried her on his shoulder. Ginny had gone ahead to let the kids
out to witness Dumbledore being locked away. It was time for some healing.
"You always were the best, all you had to do was apply yourself." Albus said
"I can do that now. I married the one person who kept tripping me up. Now I
have him at my side."
Draco smirked as Rhya purred in his ear. Yeah, he messed Harry up a lot. But it
had all been worth it in the end, Draco got his man. All the children that
Dumbledore had hurt were gathered on one side of the hall as he was ushered in.
Harry passed Dumbledore off to Kingsley before crossing the room and sitting
with the kids.
"Uncle Harry, is he being taken away?" One of the younger wolves asked
"Yes Nina he is."
The girl stood next to him and watched as he was read his rights and was port
keyed off.
"We don't have to be afraid anymore do we?" Nina asked
"No."
The kids cheered and grouped together. They would be heading back to Wolf Manor
shortly. It was a good day.
"How many DEs do we have in custody?" Harry asked
"250. You expect a break out?"
"Yes, sometime in the next 6 months. I want to go over his cottage personally.
Mum, can you babysit tonight."
"Molly already claimed it. You going out?"
"I'd like to. We haven't been out in awhile."
"Go relax."
Harry nodded and went in search of Draco. He liked to surprise his husband
every so often and found him standing with Luca and Lucius. Lucius had never
really seen them show much affection towards each other. They were always just
so busy. So when he walked up behind Draco and wrapped his arms around him, it
shocked the man slightly. Especially when Draco leaned back into him.
"Mon amour, je suis à toi dans cette vie et la prochaine, avec tout ce que je
suis et n'ont pas encore de devenir. je suis seulement la moitié de ce que je
suis censé être sans toi à mes côtés. je suis à toi. esprit. corps. âme. magie.
jusqu'à la fin du monde." Harry whispered then he walked off
Draco looked over at Luca slightly helpless. The boy smirked at him, as did his
father.
"Ok, so I never paid attention in my French lessons and have no idea what he
just said. Take pity on a guy." Draco said softly
"That was the most romantic thing I have ever heard. And it came from Harry
Potter." Lucius said "He said, 'My love, I am yours in this life and the next,
with everything that I am and have yet to become. I am only half of what I am
meant to be without you by my side. I am yours. Mind. Body. Soul. Magic. Until
the world ends.'"
"Oh." Draco whispered
"Go change. You just turned into a puddle of goo." Luca laughed
"I didn't think Harry knew how to be romantic." Lucius said still a little
dumbfounded
"He keeps it to himself until its called for. He does have reputation as a bad
ass you know."
"Ever gotten flowers?" Lucius asked confused by his own question
"A single red rose on our one year anniversary. Ginny got one red, one white.
Neither of us are really into flowers. My phone was just upgraded and ginny
just got a laptop. I don't want one. And tonight we are apparently going out.
Where? Not a clue, just found out about it. Ginny I am not going to be holding
your shoes all night! Wear flats!"
"But I'm 12 inches shorter then you! 15 shorter then Harry!" Ginny whined
"I am not effected by whining! So your 5 foot tall, big deal!"
The argument continued all the way up to the tower. Harry just starred as they
both crossed their arms and glared at each other. He walked over to Ginny and
pulled her back to him.
"Good things come in small packages. The only one bothered by your height is
you."
Ginny sighed, defeated. Draco just smirked at her as he stepped in close and
put his hands on her hips.
"I'm mad at you."
"No your not. Gin, if you were any taller a lot of the things you get a kick
out of wouldn't be possible. Because your light as well. You weigh what 100
pounds?"
"On a good day."
"Harry your what?"
"Around 180."
"I'm about 145. Harry should be about 200."
Ginny giggled as she deepened the embrace. Draco then looked up at Harry and
smiled.
"Dad told me what you said. I love you too."
Ginny just shook her head as Draco unzipped her suit for her.
"Go change. We have other things to do this afternoon before we can relax."
Draco smirked
Ginny laughed as she stepped away from her boys wanting jeans and a tee shirt.
She couldn't wait to just go and be with them.
***
Severus sat starting at the labeled test tubes and cursed. Dumbledore had
focused on the triad, but most of the core was there. They needed to do another
map before they left the castle. Severus had a bad feeling about this one.
Sending several text messages, Severus sat back and waited for the people he
needed.
The battle hadn't been much of a battle at all. Dumbledore had expected 30, not
the 460 he ended up with. Freedom to live life as one wanted was a lot more
popular then it had once been and they were willing to fight for it. Severus
would give his life for it. He was so incredibly happy with his life that he
didn't even know how to show it.
"What's so urgent?" Helena asked
Helena, Thomas, Luca, Emilie, and Lucius came into his classroom, freshly
changed. The odd part was that they all opted for jeans and turtlenecks with
the Weasley cardigan. Well except Lucius but Severus knew he'd be getting one
for Christmas. It was blue.
"I'm only doing this once, so have a seat and wait. Thomas, where is the
stone?"
Thomas pulled the stone and the elder wand from his pocket and set them on
Severus' desk. No one would touch them so Thomas had had no choice but to hold
onto them. Severus just starred at them both like they would bite him.
When the triad walked in Severus started laughing. There was no way they
could've planned this. They were all wearing jeans, black turtlenecks and their
Weasley cardigans, boots on their feet.
"We all spend way too much time together if we are all dressing alike." Severus
smirked
"I feel kind of left out."
Harry smirked and was just gone. He needed to see Molly about a sweater.
"Mum, have you finished Lucius' cardigan?"
"I have, would you like it?"
"Yes please."
Molly handed Harry the wrapped cardigan then put a hand on his arm. She handed
him a small package and sighed.
"I called Charlie and asked for this. It's the only thing I could think of that
might help. Then Steve and Helena said they had given you some as well. Just
let me know."
"How?"
"My joints, nothing like a joint to ease the pain."
"Thanks mum. It does help. The more stoned I get the longer I sleep."
"Then have at it dear. I do not want to know."
"Doesn't take much. Out like a light."
Molly laughed and gave him a hug before he was gone again. When he returned to
the class room Severus was setting up a map. He knew what they were there for.
He then handed Lucius his sweater and Draco the small package.
"Charlie sent it to Mama Molly by request."
Draco's eye brows shot up and he put the package in his pocket. Lucius was
still just holding his package.
"Yes, you are now apart of a family. Open it Dad." Draco said softly
Lucius sat down and carefully opened the package. He pulled out the thick
heather blue cardigan and just starred. It was beautiful.
"Put it on!" Ginny giggled
Lucius glared at her making her roll her eyes. But he put the sweater on and
sighed. It was like getting a hug from Molly herself.
"It's great isn't it? I have the one she made mum. No you can't have it. But
you can have this. She kept it on the bedside table."
Draco handed his father the framed photo they had taken on the grounds. Lucius
just starred. Then Draco handed him another, one if the Malfoy-Potters. Lucius
was at a loss for words, lightly shaking his head as he starred at the photos.
"Draco, thank you." He finally whispered
Draco hugged his father tightly as he regained control if his emotions. Harry
smiled, Lucius was in fact human.
"Who took them. They are incredible."
"Colin Creevy." Ginny smirked
"Yes, Mr.Annoying. He is a fantastic photographer." Draco laughed
"We had more done at Easter. I'm thinking about Christmas as well." Harry said
Lucius nodded and kept his arm around his son. Draco wondered why.
"I never got to hold you much. Indulge an old man please."
Draco smirked as he wrapped his arms around his fathers middle and allowed it.
"Harry why are you smirking?" Lucius asked
"Because all you have to do is ask. Draco is a cuddle bug. We just don't sit
still long enough for anyone to know that."
Lucius nodded and kissed his sons forehead. He could live with it. As blood was
added to the map, Draco went last then cuddled into Harry's side. It was Ginny
who switched over and wrapped her arms around Lucius making him laugh.
"Never short on hugs. That part is in fact true." Lucius laughed
"I have several students who hug me after every class. You should see the looks
from last year. 3 homesick Gryffindors and Severus Snape sitting on the floor
in the middle of the great hall kids in my lap. Hell had frozen over. Uncle Sev
I want to go home."
"They were ours!" Ginny laughed
"The rest of the great hall didn't know that." Severus smirked "I have been
called Uncle Sev in more cases then Professor Snape."
Everyone was nearly in hysterics as the map began to blink in several places.
That made everything stop. Harry then activated the tracker map, everyone
except Steve and Rebekkah were at Hogwarts. They had a problem.
"We all go now. This does not wait. Dad get locations. We will take them back
to Potter Manor. Check Lucius. Trust me on this. You turned on him. He has this
twisted mind."
Lucius added his blood to the map and 2 more dots showed up. Lucius just
starred. The son of a bitch. Severus quickly took down locations and they were
off.
The first place they landed at was a muggle orphanage in Kent. Harry walked in
and gave the women at the counter a very cold look as he explained himself.
Without a word she led them out of the room and into another. There sat 5 year
old twin girls, dirty blond hair and bright green eyes.
"Joslynn and Jillian. He said you would come. Time to go girls. Hopelessly
identical. Good luck with that."
The girls stepped forward and took Harry's hands. They chose him. Out in the
alley he ran scans and removed everything the girls were under.
"There you are. Joss, do you know-"
"My daddy. Jill, we are going home. No more Dumble-Dork."
Jillian hugged her sister and allowed themselves to be picked up. The next
place they went was in south whales, another muggle orphanage. This child was a
three year old boy by the name of Cameron. He went to Ginny without hesitation.
His hair was as red as his mothers as they brought their total to 12. He was
going to kill Dumbledore.
Next was a place not far from Malfoy Manor where they picked up a set of
identical twin boys, they were not named. A short walk down the dirt road led
them to a privet residence. The women who answered the door handed out a basket
with a newborn swaddled inside.
"That man dropped him off just this morning. Told me you would be here for him.
His name is Morgan Snape."
The door was then slammed firmly in their faces. There was one more stop, this
one for Dudley. When they arrived, Dudley went first. The child was 2 years old
and very shy. Dudley knelt and held his hands out.
"Come it's alright. There you go. What is your name?"
"Livia." She said softly
"Olivia. Well I'm going to take you home now. Are you ready?"
The child nodded and let Dudley pick her up.
"Harry I need Dezzy." Dudley said softly
Harry nodded and took them to Potter Manor. He called for Wilbur to go collect
Desiree as everyone split up. They had 3 filthy toddlers to bathe then they
would go meet their siblings.
As it turned out the girls were just really filthy. Their hair was like fine
gold once it was scrubbed clean. Cameron was just as filthy. When they had the
kids dressed, they took them to the playroom under the watch of a nanny.
Lucius was just finishing up and setting his twins up with a bottle. He had no
idea what to call them. He was totally overwhelmed. He wished he had Narcissa
here to help him.
Dudley and Desiree were comforting a very shy and upset Olivia. She didn't
understand. Harry stepped in and cast several charms. The poor thing was under
more charms then he could pick apart. Slowly Harry began breaking them all and
the girl started to calm down. When he finished, Olivia took a deep breath.
"Now, lets clean you up love? I'm right here. I will not leave you. I promise."
Desiree said softly
Olivia nodded and allowed Desiree to do what she needed to.
"I think it's time Dudley." Harry whispered
"I think so too. She hasn't run yet."
Harry smiled and patted Dudley's knee before he left the room. He needed to
send Draco to his father to help him cope with bring a single parent and help
name his brothers.
When Draco knocked on the door his father was sitting in his bed with his head
in his hands. The man looked completely defeated. Draco knelt before him and
waited.
"I need her and he took her from me. I don't know how to do this."
"And you have a family to help you. I miss her so much it hurts. But I know I
need to keep going. Look at me."
Lucius looked up at his son and wanted to hold him. To take the comfort he
offered freely. But Draco had something to say.
"She was laying in my arms, holding my hand. The last thing she said was I'm
proud of you my dragon. You can look. It's ok."
Lucius nodded and watched his wife's last moments. Draco was telling him the
truth.
"Oh my boy."
Draco found himself being pulled into a tight hug as his father sobbed into his
sweater. They didn't notice the women standing at the door so she knocked.
Lucius knew who it was and cursed.
"Hi Summer. Let me guess?"
"Right in one. I heard and wanted to look in."
Lucius sat up and took a deep breath. He needed to name his sons.
"I'm alright. Draco why don't you get a look at the boys and help me figure out
what to name them. I'm going to wash my face. Excuse me."
Draco stood as his father closed himself in the bathroom. Summer stood by the
door unsure of what to do. Draco sighed as he crossed to the crib and thought
about what to say to his father.
Summer was a beautiful women. Blond hair the color of spun gold. Eyes the same
blue as a summer sky. She wasn't too tall, maybe 5'6. And she was thin as all
wolves were. She would compliment Lucius wonderfully.
"Join me. I like Kellen Joseph, Keegan Nathaniel."
Summer looked down at the twins and smiled. They were blond like their brother
just not as blond. They were so tiny, so perfect. She fell in love without
meaning to, just like she had with Lucius.
"I think they are good names. Lucius, they are beautiful."
"Thank you. What have you decided because I have no clue. They are identical."
"Color code everything dad. Kellen will be blue. Keegan will be green. Summer,
he's going to need your help."
"If he allows it. Lucius is a hard man to get to know."
"I know. Dad, I need you -"
"Draco, I'm not there yet. Yes it was an arranged marriage, but I grew to love
her. I'm still very angry."
"I'm not asking you for anything more right now then a friendship Lucius. We
can discuss it perhaps while the boys sleep? Please don't push me away."
"That didn't go so well for Severus either Dad. I'm not going to get up set.
Summer actually was mums nurse, she did a wonderful job."
"She was funny. Oh I miss her, she was so good to me. I will be right back. I
have something for you. I just remembered."
Summer hurried from the room dumbfounding them both. When she returned she was
holding an envelope and something in her hand.
"No I did not take these. She knew things. Give me your hand."
Lucius held out his hand and his breath caught. It was Narcissa's wedding band
and the sapphire ring he had given her on their 10th anniversary. Then Summer
passed the envolope.
"Read it. I have no idea what it says. She somehow knew we would meet. I had
forgotten about it until now. Draco would you help me gather what the twins
will need? Color code bottles?"
Draco nodded as his father sat on the sofa in front of the fire. He followed
Summer from the room and closed the door behind him.
Lucius slowly opened the letter and began to read.
{My dearest Lucius,
We both know that there is someone ready to love you. It took me nearly a
decade to love you. But she's here and she's waiting. She described you to me,
then your sent. I knew all at once that when I leave this world, I leave you in
the best of hands. Do not grieve me. The last of my life was lived surrounded
by the family you have been brought into. Your stubborn, don't be. I want you
happy. I want you to love. I want you to finally live. Let her show you Lucius.
With all my love, Cassi}
Lucius put the letter back in its envelope and took a deep breath. Narcissa had
given her blessing, wanted him happy. If Summer could offer that, he wasn't
sure.
When the knock sounded at the door, Lucius looked up and smiled.
"Summer, you win. Cassi knew."
"I know she did. We talked about it. I crossed your path a few years ago. You
smell like crisp parchment and silk. It's hard to explain."
"They say Harry smells like wet grass and thunderstorms." Draco laughed
"He does. Severus is sandalwood and vanilla. You smell like rain and cashmire.
The boys smell like heaven."
Lucius laughed as he put the things away. He'd give this a go. He had nothing
left to lose.
"I will say good bye before we head out. Dad, behave." Draco laughed
Lucius rolled his eyes as Draco left the room. He had no idea what to do. He
had never dated before.
"I don't know how to do this?"
"Can I assume dating?"
"Again I have no idea what to do. I always followed my fathers rules. I never
dated."
Summer stepped forward and put her hand on Lucius' chest. His heart rate sped
up under her touch. He was nervous. When she wrapped her arms around him and
put her head on his shoulder, something clicked into place and he returned the
embrace. She fit against him perfectly. He liked it.
"This is my heaven. If I could get you to just hold me forever I think I'd be
content." Summer whispered
Lucius rested his cheek on her hair and closed his eyes. He needed a nap.
"I need a nap."
Summer laughed as she pulled back. He was being honest with her. His emotions
were raw and he needed time to process.
"I leave you to nap then."
Lucius shook his head.
"No I want something different then what I had with Cassi. We even had separate
bedrooms. If I'm going all in, I'm going to go all in. I don't want my old life
back, I want to build a new one. Give me some time, I'm going to need it. But I
want you here."
"When?"
"When everyone leaves we can move your things. Right now will you take a nap
with me?"
"I would like that. I'm a very light sleeper."
"Oh so am I. I don't move much either."
Summer laughed as he took off his cardigan and shoes before laying in the bed.
She climbed up next to him and put her head on his chest. Within minutes both
were sound asleep. They didn't even wake when Draco looked in. Lucius would be
getting a call later.

***** Chaper 7: Round And Round We Go *****

Author's notes: Felicity
===============================================================================
Chapter 7: Round and a Round We Go
After the children were settled the triad headed to the cottage that had been
stolen from Harry 12 years before. It was left unwarded with a note on the
door.
{Harrison, good luck fining anything. My pet I poisoned before the battle, bury
him for me. Lock up when you've finished.}
"Sick fucking bastard. Theres no traps. Lets go."
Harry opened the door and looked around. It was a cozy seaside cottage, but
looks could be deceiving. They looked around and found several things that they
could add to their case. Journals and log books, potions and research. They
were doing everything on accordance to an Auror investigation. Harry would have
to thank Kingsley for the books later.
When they reached the bedroom Harry nearly was sick.
"Dray, we have a body. Call my dad. I'm not going in there. We can check the
rest of the upstairs and wait."
Draco called James and told him what Harry had said. The upstairs study was
even more incriminating. More evidence was nearly falling into their laps.
Dumbledore hadn't bothered to hide anything. By the time James and Sirius
arrived the triad was going to see if there was a cellar. The man had to brew
somewhere.
"In the bedroom at the top of the stairs to the right." Harry said softly "We
are going to head down to the cellar. We shouldn't be long."
James nodded and patted his sons shoulder before they parted ways. Harry made
his way thru the kitchen and down into the cellar. He wished he hadn't. It was
like walking into a nightmare. Adult wolves were chained up, the females
expecting. They cowered in their cells as the triad approached. Dumbledore was
a monster.
"Where is he?" One man asked
"About to stand trial. What's going on here?" Harry asked
"The books on the work table will tell you everything. They will deliver soon
and the others. 80 in all, moved all over. He kept record. I need to be quick.
We die soon. 5 minutes, he made us drink something. The women will live until
its time. Don't leave. Please don't leave."
The terrified man reached out and took Harry's hand, gripping it tightly. Harry
sent a wave of calming magic thru him and watched him relax as Harry read him.
What he saw made him sick.
"Your not alone." Harry whispered
"Avenge us. Make him pay for his sins."
"I promise you."
Harry held the mans hand until he passed, wanting nothing more then to kill
Dumbledore. Draco collected the books as Ginny calmed the women. Harry got on
the phone with Eli requesting emergency medical support.
It took over an hour to clear the cottage. It had to be done in away that they
could take to court. When it was just the triad, James, and Sirius left Harry
was discussed. So he did the only thing he could think of to make him calm
down. He began a purge.
James watched speechless. He had never seen Harry do this before. He seen it
small scale with Thomas, but this was nothing like that. He watched as the
energy ball between Harry's hands grew to the size of a large beach ball. When
Harry released it, the cottage exploded in flames.
"I know that was a purge but where does it all come from?" James asked in awe
"It's all negative emotion. Or would you rather I walk around feeling all of
that nasty mess?"
"No. Dumbledore would like to see you and Thomas. I can't stop you, but I don't
like it."
Harry nodded. He was hungry and he wanted to relax, today was not the day.
"Tomorrow. I'm not dealing with anymore bull shit today."
"Bull shit basket full?" Sirius smirked
"Yes and my give a fuck is busted. I'm done."
"Got it. See you later then." Sirius laughed
James stood starring at his best friend as the triad vanished. He had no real
clue what just happened.
"How close were you?"
"Pretty close. Severus would've taken that into a 15 minute conversation. Now
watching him and Harry together is some weird shit."
"Yeah I know. They totally understand each other. Come on, we got paper work."
"Watching Remus and Severus is even deeper weird shit."
James laughed as they activated their port keys, they had a lot to do back at
the ministry.
***
Harry took them into London. He needed to walk abit. He was still very angry
and he didn't want it to effect the rest of their day. They got coffee and just
kept walking. They ended up at the London Eye and Harry sighed. He was starting
to hate London.
"Harrison, the villa is empty right?" Draco asked
"Yes."
"Lets go. I'll call mum."
"Greece? Right now?"
"Can we please pretend we don't have children and be spontaneous?"
Harry started smirking as he looked into their pleading faces.
"Alright. Lets go."
They hurried to the nearest alley and were gone.
***
Lilly was talking with Molly when she got a message from Harry. It was a
beautiful picture of a sea scape, the words 'Being Spontaneous' along with it.
"Molly, where is this?" Lilly asked
"Greece. Why?"
"When I told him to be more spontaneous this is not what I meant. They are in
Greece."
Molly laughed, making Lilly look at her funny.
"Harry doesn't normally do things like this so the other 2 begged. They will be
back in the morning. Worry less. He deserves this."
Lilly sighed and sent a message to James. They would be staying to help Molly
with the kids tonight.
***
They had gone shopping then had dinner in Athens, watching the sun set over the
Mediterranean Sea. When they returned to the villa, Harry put a warming charm
over the pool and they ended up skinny dipping. It was the most immature Harry
had ever acted.
Then James and Lilly Potter walked out the back door of the villa.
"Harrison James." Lilly said firmly
"This is exactly why I don't do things like this!" Harry snapped glaring
between Draco and Ginny
Lilly kept a straight face as the triad swam to the edge of the pool. Oh this
was too funny.
"Yes mum?"
"Is the other villa empty?"
"Yes. Why?"
"See you tomorrow. Molly sent us. She really loves kids."
"Yes she does. Now if you would go away this is not cool at all!"
James finally lost it and had to be led out by his wife. Harry was mortified.
His parents had just caught him naked in a swimming pool with a boy and a girl.
Granted they had been married over a year, that wasn't the point.
"I don't think I've ever been so embarrassed." Harry snapped
"Me either. We better not walk around naked then, damn." Ginny laughed.
"Lets get out just in case they come back. You wanted to start reading the
journals. Now is as good a time as any."
"It's quiet here and I don't have to put charms up for it. We have 30 days to
finish putting this case together. I don't want to call Thomas to testify if I
can help it."
"Wait, what?" Draco asked as he wrapped a towel around his hips
"The Wizmot sent me the letter yesterday asking me to act on the plaintiffs
behalf. Even though I am a plaintiff myself, they have chosen me. They have
also asked me to take Albus' seat."
Harry rubbed his eyes as Draco and Ginny just starred at him. The honor of the
entire thing was going way over Harry's head. All Harry could see was someone
else wanting something from him, wanting him to step into a role he was far too
young for.
"Lets get comfy, it's going to be a very long night. I'm going to ask father to
help you when we get back. He's better at this then I am." Draco said
After pulling on sleep pants and tee shirts, they spread everything out across
the living room. Systematically they broke everything down into crimes and then
started sorting information. When they finished, they started building each
case. Tomorrow Harry would ask his parents for help. He didn't have the time to
do it alone.
*******
Harry and Thomas walked thru the ministry clearing a path as they went. Albus
Dumbledores arrest made the front page of the prophet that morning but it
didn't give any real details. Luna was already working on her article that
would take up the entire paper after the trial. Right now he was thankful they
didn't want details. Most of the Wizarding world was still trying to adjust.
When they reached the holding cells they took Thomas' wand and asked Harry for
his.
"I don't need one any more." Harry smirked
The guard looked over at Kingsley questioningly. Kingsley opened the door and
led them inside. Dumbledore sat chained to a chair, it gave Thomas some comfort
boing that the man couldn't touch him. As they sat down the man smirked.
"So they will not tell me who's representing the plaintiffs. They won't tell me
who's been elected to take my place on the Wizmot. They won't even tell me if
its gotten really cold out yet. How are you boys at least?"
"Me. Me. Its September, its getting colder. And beating you to a pulp is not an
option but I really want to." Harry replied harshly "What is it that you
wanted? I have a lot to do."
"They've chosen you?"
"They have. Now what do you want?"
"I'm just wondering what you found?"
"Enough evidence to put you away for several life times. You didn't even bother
to hide anything."
"You would've found it anyhow. You think outside the box."
Thomas looked at the man who had made his life a living hell and shook his
head.
"You are nothing more then an evil old man with a twisted agenda."
"Where's your whore to keep you in line boy?"
"My wife is at home. I do not need her to keep me in line old man. I've learned
to do that myself." Thomas smirked "Besides, I listen to Harry if it calls for
it. If I step out of line he can step in. But that's not going to happen."
"How's the case coming?"
"Well. I'm just about done."
"You just started haven't you? I watched the way you operate for 5 years
Harrison."
"Yeah. Just getting started. However it's coming together rather quickly. It
helps that I don't sleep."
"You've never slept very well anyway."
Harry nodded and wondered what in the hell the man really wanted. Harry was
starting to realize the man was trying to appeal to his noble nature and
smirked. The man really had no idea what the hell Harry had transformed into.
"Do you have anything important to say?"
Dumbledore smirked and say back in his chair. Harry knew that he was feeling
rather full of himself and both he and Thomas leaned forward.
"Did you find your sister? She's 14. Give me a page of parchment and I will
give you the address."
Harry pulled the small notebook from his pocket and opened it to a clean page.
He watched as Dumbledore wrote out an address and passed it back.
"Felicity."
Without another word Harry and Thomas stood and left the room. They got to the
stairs before they broke into a run. The last child of Dumbledores madness was
waiting. Harry had no idea how they missed her.
They were shouted at as they ran thru the atrium and squeezed into a phone box.
They entered to to a short argument of would you move, then stopped starring at
each other. It was the first brotherly argument that they had ever had and they
laughed.
"When we get out of this thing, race you." Harry smirked
"Alright. We really need to do some bonding."
Harry nodded knowing that Thomas was right. They hardly knew anything about
each other. When the box stopped the boys climbed out and broke into a run. Yes
Harry was taller but Thomas was a wolf and they were pretty evenly matched.
When they stopped in front of the orphanage they had picked kids up from twice
before, they were laughing as the sat down on the steps to catch their breath.
"I love you brother." Thomas laughed
"I love you too. Lets go get our sister."
Thomas nodded as Harry gave him a half hug. When they walked in they were led
without a word. The woman handed them a small bag and sighed.
"She's a mess. We were never allowed to go anywhere near her. The last person
who tried dropped dead. We got that stuff for her. There's a wash room just
here."
Harry looked to where she pointed and sighed.
"I need you to trust me because I'm going to need your help."
"Of course."
"Take my hand so I can remove whatever he has you under. While we talk to her,
I need you to run a bath."
The women took Harry's hand tightly and felt the bonds break.
"Let me start the bath. Please be gentle. I don't know what he did to her."
"I was the mans pet from 8 to 14, I can imagine." Thomas said softly
The women nearly sobbed as she entered the washroom leaving the door wide.
Harry braced himself as he slowly opened the door.
"Please just leave me alone." The girl said softly
Harry slowly crossed the room and sat next to his sister on the bed. She folded
herself farther into the corner.
"Felicity, no one is going to hurt you anymore." Harry said softly
The girl looked up and emerald met emerald. She sobbed as she climbed onto his
lap. He held her tight as she cried into his shirt.
"Thomas is here as well. We need to get you cleaned up, then we are going to
take you home." Harry said
Felicity reached out her hand blindly for Thomas and he crossed to her. She
clung to them desperately. She was going home.
"Harry the manor is a nut house." Thomas said "Lena would be good for her."
"I agree. I need you to text mum and let her know Dumbledore gave us another.
Potter Manor can be quieter then Wolf Manor. We can move mum and dad to the
guest house-"
"No, I'll be ok. I don't want to be alone anymore."
Harry nodded and picked his sister up. She was small and light. Thank god
Emilie just cleaned out her closet.
"Text my wife and tell her to collect Emilie's things from storage. Tell her to
set up a room by mum and dads. Text my husband and tell him to give her a hand.
My head hurts."
"Stop clenching your teeth, give me our sister, and text Ginny and Draco
yourself. Come, there is a bath waiting for you sister. I won't leave the room
if you want me to stay. Harry is far too use to being in charge of everything."
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
Felicity giggled as Thomas tucked her into his side and led her to the bath.
She was going to like having a family.
***
Felicity was overwhelmed as they arrived at the manor at lunch time. It was a
mad house just like Thomas had said. There were kids and adults everywhere and
she started to wonder where they had all come from. Then someone wrapped their
arms around her leg and she looked down.
"That is Xavier and he has finally mastered walking. Then there's Paige, Laila,
and Liam. Maddox when did this happen? Harper and Braylee. Deven, Arya and
Nicoli. Why are you all here? Your all walking, that's fantastic."
"Because Emilie sent up an SOS. It's not so fantastic for mummy's books
however. Toddlers to your seats. He's not going anywhere, he lives here."
Laila was trying desperately to climb her daddy's leg and Thomas took pity on
the poor girl. As he kissed his niece soundly, his kids started coming thru the
floo. Helena port keyed seconds later.
"I called Ginny, they want to play. They have 3 days left before term starts
for real this time."
Felicity starred at Helena like she had never seen anything like her. Helena
was dressed in a white button up a black under bust corset with a pair of black
skinny jeans and her favorite pair of back boots. Her hair was pulled up into a
messy bun and her make up dark. Felicity was in awe.
"Thomas have you seen Emilie?"
"Not yet no. Lena this is our sister Felicity. Hunter, down the stairs!
Felicity, this is my wife Helena. Rian honey, lunch time. Come on. How she does
it I will never know. Mum! Help!"
"Thomas dear, if Lena can do it so can you. This must be Felicity. I'm mum, yes
your mum. Lets get some lunch, then we can sit and talk. James, help the boys.
Conner Ryle you fling those peas and you will be in your room for the rest of
the day! Lucius, watch him!"
"I don't fancy peas either." Harry whispered to Felicity "Conner, son, give up
and eat them."
"I don't like peas dad!" Conner whined
"I don't either, but do I fling them?"
"No, you eat them."
"Exactly."
Conner sneered at his peas as Felicity tried not to laugh. This was a million
times better then being all alone. As she sat down with her mother for lunch
she watched Ginny and Emilie enter the dining room, Luca right behind them. She
was introduced then both women were off and running, Helena right behind them.
"Have I missed something?" Harry asked Lilly
"The girls decided to enter this dance thing that is tomorrow afternoon. They
are trying desperately to get everything together very quickly. You go find
out. It's alot bigger then the ones they usually enter."
"There aren't as many technical rules. Emi goes big with her stunts, yes. But
it's more then that. This is total creative freedom for her. I've never seen
any of them dance like this before." Luca said "I don't like peas either. Dad-"
"Now I'm worried. Eat your peas. I have to." Harry sighed
"Mums all up in it."
"Now I'm really worried. If you would all excuse me. Where would they be?"
Luca gave him a look and rolled his eyes.
"Right stupid question."
Harry sighed and Felicity grabbed his hand. She didn't even have to ask, he
pulled her to her feet and took her with him. They could hear the music before
they reached the studio and laughed.
"Oh it was quiet for awhile. Now they are back at it. I expect a dress
rehearsal in the yard later. Perhaps we should just wait."
"I'm curious. I want to see. Please?"
Harry smiled and explained a few things. Felicity nodded, she knew that she had
a lot to learn and she was hopeing to find someone to help her. From what she
had seen Helena, Ginny, and Emilie would be the ones she needed and that's
exactly what she told Harry. Harry agreed with her, he also knew that the girls
in the studio would take her as a friend as well. He'd leave her with them an
hour then pick her back up.
"Dad! Here! I'm Luca, I'm Emilie's fiancé. The boys will be coming shortly, I
think she bribed them or threatened them."
"Wrong. She asked. We figured it worked for you."
Luca crossed his arms and rocked back on his heels, Harry gave him a confused
look. When the hell did he pick that up?
"1; Emilie is my mate, not my girlfriend. 2; if you are here in hopes of
getting girls, leave. You have no earthly idea how much work those girls put
in. This means a lot to all of them. I'm not going to let you wreck that."
"No we are not in it for girls. She asked, she's your girl. It's out of respect
for you."
"And I will be taking my sister with me."
"Dad, anyone messes with her I will break their arm. Nothing is going to happen
to her. I promise." Luca said
Harry nodded and passed Felicity off to Luca. He trusted Luca with his daughter
and his grandchildren. He could trust him with Felicity.
"I will be back in an hour. Gin,"
Ginny turned to face Harry and held her hand out to Felicity. Harry watched as
his sister crossed the room and was welcomed with open arms. Felicity would be
fine.
***
Ginny and the girls sat down with Felicity and the girl asked them to help her
learn how to be normal. She had insisted on joining in, never being apart of
anything before. Ginny was impressed and let Harry watch thru the link. The
fact that Felicity had learned their dance in one afternoon was impressive to
say the least.
As rehearsal rounded to a close Ginny watched the girl. She fit very well, but
it looked like she was starting to get overwhelmed.
"Felicity, would you like me to have someone come get you? You look like you
need to process."
"That would be wonderful. I think I need to lie down. That was a lot of fun
though."
"I'm glad. It will get easier." Ginny said hugging the girl "Draco is coming to
get you. Harry's wrapped up in something for Dumbledores trial."
"What trial? Is that why I was brought here? Have they finally caught him?"
"October 18. I think so, Harry didn't give me details. And Harry arrested him
just yesterday."
"He's an evil man. He does evil things to everyone he thinks is beneath him."
"We are finding that out. Harry will come talk to you. He will need your
story."
"Could I talk to you? I trust you. Men not so much."
"I will be there if you wish it. What's bothering you?"
"October 18th is my 14th birthday."
"Birthdays are a big deal around here. Draco, what happened to your hair?"
Draco's hair was sticking up in every which direction and Ginny was having a
hard time not laughing. Felicity tilted her head to the side then snapped her
fingers making a satisfied sound as Draco's hair fell back into place.
"It was Conner and we are going to see Harry. You shouldn't have been able to
do that."
"I know. He told me about the blood line I came from and being alone as much as
I was, I taught myself how to focus it. It's also saved my mind. I lock
everything he did to me away. Opening that door is going to be the hard part. I
know I need to face it, but Im not ready yet."
"Understood. Now, would you like to join us tomorrow?"
"Emi, can I dance tomorrow?!"
Emilie ran over and smiled brightly. Ginny knew they were well on their way to
being best friends and was overjoyed.
"Well, I think that would be fantastic. Papa, will you tell daddy we are going
to have a dress -"
"He already set up in the back yard. Alright, I will take you to your brother.
Girls, rally around her tonight. You have all been where she is."
"Yes sir." The girls laughed
Draco just rolled his eyes as Felicity took his arm. He noticed that she needed
alot of human contact and that was not on short supply here. They walked
slowly, talking as they went. He realized that Felicity was going to do just
fine here.
Harry's office door was wide open and Harry was sitting at one of the tables
with his head in his hands.
"Harry, what's the matter?" Felicity asked as she quickly crossed the room
Harry held up one of the books entitled Felicity Evelyn. That stopped the girl
in her tracks and she started having a panic attack. Draco rushed forward and
sat her down on the sofa. He put her head to her knees and started rubbing her
back.
"Like I did with Thomas, I'm going to let you burn these."
Felicity sat up and took a deep breath. Harry set the journals in her lap as he
sat down beside her.
"I don't want to know what he did to you until your ready to tell me. You have
just as many as Thomas did and we found a time turner in his cottage so it
makes sense. Burn them."
Felicity placed the journals in the cold fireplace and turned to Harry. He
stood and put her back to his chest.
"I am going to teach you something however the goal is not to burn the house
down."
"I know energy balls. I just never released one before. I have a lot of
secrets. I get to release one?"
"Go for it."
Harry put an arm around her waist and watched as she made an energy ball about
as big as a tennis ball and made it gently float towards the fireplace. The
journals began to burn and Felicity turned into the comfort Harry offered.
"I will take you to your room. Your pretty small so I hope Emilie's stuff fits.
Why are you so small?"
"One small meal a day for 13 years. I will be 14 October 18th. I want to be
there Harry, I want to watch him be locked away."
"You will be. Now, mum and dad are just next door. We are at the end of the
hall. And Emilie and Luca are that way, first door on the left. What's the
matter?"
"My room."
"I had the same reaction when the keys to the house were handed to me. Come on,
I'll show you."
Harry opened the door and led Felicity in. She looked around and was
overwhelmed all over again. Draco came forward and took Felicity's hand, trying
to help her. The clothes were hanging in the closet, there were fresh towels
and such in the bathroom, and there was clean sheets on the bed. She'd never
had any of that before.
"We will just let you adjust. Dinner is at 5:30. If you need anything call
Kimmy, she is a house elf. Do you know how to work one of these?"
Harry handed her a cell phone and she smiled.
"Yes I do actually. I'll be ok. Thank you Harry, for everything."
"This is what families do. Go investigate. Oh, this is a tracker and emergency
port key. Everyone has them."
Harry and Draco left the room, shutting the door behind them. Felicity out her
phone on her bedside table and sat down. Her world had just been completely
turned around. She was free for the first time in her life to do as she wanted.
The first thing she did was slide the tracker ring onto her right middle
finger.
So she stood and went into the closet to investigate. She pulled out a pair of
yoga pants, a sports bra and a tank top. A really long hot shower and a nap
sounded fantastic.
*****
Rebekkah was way too excited to watch the kids dance. She had heard all about
it, just never seen it. And this was a big deal thing. What Harry didn't
understand is that talent scouts attended these things and many of his kids
could get discovered. He wouldn't allow it, but it was a possibility.
She had special permission to film Infinity, which is what the group called
themselves. She was so excited, she couldn't help it. Each group was given 7
minutes to perform, then it was up to the judges. Dudley and Emilie had worked
the remix. Ginny had placed the orders for the outfits. Emilie had done the
choreography. They had won everything they ever entered, Rebekkah just hoped
they at least placed.
"How much longer? Theirs is killing me!" Rebekkah said to Harry
"Bekkah, relax. They are up next. They are really good. They have been dancing
all day, I'm just a little worried about Felicity. This is huge for her.
Everyone knows who these kids are. I'm nervous. If I go back there I'm only
going to make it worse. Dray, go check on them. Please?"
"I have been. Ginny says everything is fine. I'm going to trust her. Felicity
is asking for you."
Harry nodded and headed backstage. And all the girls rushed to him. Every last
one of them were super nervous.
"Hey, what's going on?"
"I'm going to be sick." Felicity said softly
"I think we all are. Can we please have a very mild calming charm? Please?"
Emilie asked
"Hugs. One at a time. Quickly now."
Harry hugged each and everyone if them casting a calming charm as he did so.
Then he told them all to take a knee.
"No matter the out come, I am proud of each and everyone of you. Just have fun.
I'll sit on the stairs and tell security to kiss my ass. You guys got this."
"Hands in. We are in next."
Everyone put their hands in and they did their pre dance thing. Harry wished
them all luck before jogging back to his seat. He decided to stand beside Steve
as the kids took the stage. Merlin he was nervous.
"Alright Harry?" Steve asked
"No I'm bloody nervous. Now shut up. I don't want to deal with disappoint
alright."
Steve laughed as the music started. What he was watching thru the eye piece was
beyond brilliant. Each and every move was excited perfectly. Even the champs
from the year before had screwed up. They even landed all their stunts. Steve
was amazed.
As the group exited the stage, they rushed back to meet them. There was a lot
of fast talking and exclamations. It was the funniest thing Rebekkah had ever
seen. They would have an hour before the results were read, so Harry and Draco
went to their Starbucks and brought drinks back. Not that any of them needed
sugar and caffeine.
Then just when they couldn't take it anymore, the results were in. They called
second and third place and it wasn't Infinity. Harry's stomach turned over as
his nerves kicked in all over again. He could not deal with a house full of
disappointed teenagers. He prayed, hoping that the powers were listening as the
group huddled together praying as well.
"And I don't know how these kids did it! It was a last minute entry and a last
minute addition! In first place Infinity!"
Harry sagged with relief as the girls ran on stage. Everyone knew who they were
and who Emilies dad was, who Ginny was. You'd have to be living under a rock
not to.
"So, who's the mastermind behind all this? I want to talk to that person." The
host laughed
Emilie was pushed forward and she glared at Luca. The man laughed as he shook
her hand, Emilie just smiled.
"So, your the captain? How long have you been going this?"
"Almost 2 years. I just really like dance. Dad gave an extra week of holiday
and I figured why not. There was a battle. Well I was disappointed, he was out
numbered 4 to 1."
"So you decided to dance?"
"Yeah. I really didn't expect to win though. This is the first time we entered
anything like this."
"And who taught you to flip like that? Your stunts were amazing."
"Oh, my dad. It's apart of the training we do. Dad, Papa come here."
Both Harry and Draco shook their heads as they stood just off the stage. Emilie
crossed her arms and took the classic Harry stance of 'why are you not
moving?'. Harry sighed knowing that he was not going to win this one and pushed
Draco in front of him.
"It seems they don't want to be out here."
Harry shook his head and joined Ginny. This was going to be a headache because
he knew what was going to happen next.
"Who belongs where?"
Harry took the offered mic and sighed. Why did this always happen?
"Thomas and Felicity are my brother and sister. Helena is Thomas' fiancé.
Helena and I have the same legal guardian, Severus lives at Wolf Manor with
them. Now, Ginny, Draco and I are a triad. Don't ask, I am not going there.
Emilie is Ginny and my eldest. She and Luca are together. Those I've named
stand apart. That's better. The rest of the group are orphans that actually
live at Potter Manor with us. Are there anymore couples I should know about?
90% of you are in Slytherin house."
Couples paired up and there were only a few left still single. Harry just shook
his head.
"And that is why I put wards up. Everywhere. I was your age not too long ago.
I'm not stupid. Now the reson I encourage this is because Helena, Emilie, Luca,
Thomas, and Felicity are geniuses. Anything that is remotely normal I allow.
Emilie plays piano and Helena plays guitar. Luca makes amazing jewelry. It's
things like that, that I consider normal."
"Your an amazing bunch from what we've all seen. You must be very proud."
"You have no idea. So are we going to put this one on display as well? We might
need a bigger cabinet."
Emilie stood beside the trophy that was nearly as tall as she was and crossed
her arms.
"Gee, Dad, you think?"
"You get that from your mother. Stop with the smirking. Isn't Conner bad
enough?!"
"She spends too much time with her Papa." Ginny laughed
"He's what I think of as neural. We don't share the same DNA."
Harry looked over at Draco, who just smirked back and shrugged. That would
explain a lot. Draco more then likely knew things about their daughter that
Harry and Ginny didn't care to know. At least she had parental guidance. Right?
"Ladies and gentlemen, Infinity! I expect to see great things from this lot!
Thanks for coming!"
Harry handed the mic back before hefting the trophy with one hand.
"Lets go home. I'm putting chicken on the grill."
Without really thinking about it they all activated their port keys and were
gone. Harry cursed as everyone stopped and starred. Even Rebekkah and Steve
were gone.
"What in the hell was that?!" The host asked
"Port keys. The rings they were. They went home. I guess with all the
excitement they forgot they weren't supposed to do that. Opps."
The host just starred as Draco tucked himself into Harry's side and they were
gone. They damage had already been done.
*******
Over the next 5 1/2 weeks the core spent a lot of time at the villa in Greece.
It became their planning place. A place only those involved knew about. The
small cases came together very quickly and were set aside as they were
completed. The bigger ones were taking more time, more people, more effort.
Dumbledores other camps were found, emptied, and destroyed. The wolves found
were taken to Wolf Manor which was quickly becoming over crowded. Plans had
been submitted to add onto the manor and construction would be starting soon.
Then the other manors would be built up as well. Even Potter Manor was getting
a bit crowded.
The night before the trial, everyone was well beyond fried. Harry still had to
get into the courtroom and mount the cameras Kingsley given him the go ahead
for. He could do it first thing in the morning.
Then a thought hit him as he starred at the very expensive suit hanging on the
closet door. The suit had been Draco's doing, making a date of it. Harry would
admit that it looked great on him, as well as the Italian loafers.
"Dray, have everyone who helped us with the case put their nannies in charge
after bedtime. We are all going to go sit in the guest house and get stoned out
if our minds. No one needs nightmares tonight."
Draco smirked as he sent out the text messages. It was time to relax and let
go. It would also be interesting to see who brought their own and who passed
out first. Draco's money was on Ginny and Emilie. It was going to be an
interesting night.
***
When the lights came on in the guest house and the chimney started puffing
smoke that Harry hasn't been joking. They had all been instructed to dress
comfortably and to keep the events of the night to themselves. They did not
text Rebekkah or Steve, they needed this to be kept tight.
As they gathered, Harry got a little nervous until Helena took over.
"Now the port keys will take you back to your rooms but this does not get out.
Are we understood?" Helena said firmly
Everyone nodded, and Harry laughed as he started tossing small slim cases.
Helena blindly tossed his and he caught it as Draco ducked.
"This is why I'm the youngest seeker in a century love. Trash talk was always
your forte." Harry smirked
Draco snatched the case and glared.
"Do shut up."
Harry just laughed as no one questioned what was going on. His parents were no
stranger to a joint now and then either. Harry just shook his head.
"Lucius, why did you get the brooms if you knew it was part of our rivalry?"
"Narcissa bought the brooms."
"Ah. Never has bested me."m
"I best you all the time."
"Not at Quiddich."
Draco rolled his eyes as he passed the joint to Harry.
"We hear all kinds of stories all the time. You've really done all that?" Lilly
said
"Yes and then some. Normal and me don't get along. I just want to be normal but
that is never going to happen."
The entire room looked at him as he held Draco close Ginny tucked into his
side. He was going to have to explain and he really didn't want to.
"Think about me in every aspect of my life then think of normal. Then remember
that silence is my favorite sound."
That got everyone thinking and left Harry to do nothing but sit. It was amazing
how those closest to him knew so little about him. It was going to be a tell
all night.
"Mi, why don't you start things off and tell first year. Ron second. Mi third.
I will fill in gaps on forth. 5th year everything changed. Then I will tell you
about me now. I'm a totally deferent person then I once was."
"You really are. It's quite amazing to have watched it." Hermione said
thoughtfully "Now I guess I'll start with the troll in the girls loo Halloween.
That's really where our adventures began."
"In a girls loo?" James asked.
Harry smirked at him as the room started filling up with smoke. Anyone who
wasn't smoking would be getting g a contact buzz soon. He just sat there as the
stories were told. Even he couldn't believe that he had done some of the things
being spoken of.
They talked about the things that they had done for hours. All the rule
breaking and the detentions. The golden trio had special awards thru the school
even. Harry's parents just starred.
"Now, I'm just trying to get thru it all. I have to be the hero again and it's
the last thing I want to be. But, as always if not me then who? All I want is
peace. After the trial I'm going to start building my army. I don't know if
I'll need it, but I'd rather be safe then sorry. I'm going to be traveling a
lot. Dad, that one, I'm going to leave the school in your hands while I'm not
there. I just have to do what I have to do. In some cases I'll be taking Ginny
and Draco with me. There is just so much and I know I will only have 6 months
to do it. Dumbledore is already plotting his escape, it's only a matter of
time."
"Harrison, I wish it could be different for you. I wish I could change it all."
Lilly said softly
"But you can't. This us just the way that it is. I've excepted it and I have
learned to live with it. I'm starting to get tired."
"This is how you sleep?" James asked
"Makes my brain stop."
James nodded as people began to port key to their rooms, Ginny among them. Soon
the only people in the guest house were Harry and Draco. And the silence that
Harry so deeply enjoyed.
Draco turned in Harry's arms and kissed him softly.
"Ready for bed?"
"Yeah. I'm terrified I'll screw this up."
"You won't. Now take us to bed."
Harry smirked as he kissed Draco deeply. Yes he was ready for bed, he wanted to
hold Draco in his arms and just sleep. He was going to really need it.
***** Chapter 8: The Trial of a Mad Man *****

Author's notes: Bye bye twisted fuck
===============================================================================
Chapter 8: The Trial of a Mad Man
When Harry came downstairs to breakfast the next morning, everything stopped.
He was dressed in a black suit with an emerald green shirt and black tie,
loafers on his feet. No one had ever seen him in anything but workout clothes
or jeans and a tee shirt; they didn't know how to react.
"Oh this is going to be a very long day. I haven't even put my robes on yet."
Harry muttered
"You look like you stepped off a page of a GQ mag. Yes I know what that is. You
clean up rather nicely." Lilly smiled "Yes ladies and gentlemen, that is my
son."
"Thanks mum."
"Harry, she did it to me too. And Draco." Thomas smirked
Harry sat down and quickly ate his breakfast. They needed to be on time for
this one. The trial wasn't going to wait for him. As he looked around he
sighed, several people were dressed for the trial he wasn't going to do this
alone.
When he spotted the boy sitting beside Felicity her knew he had missed
something huge. Another wolf had found their mate and Harry was helpless to
stop it. The boys name was Skylar and Harry knew he was a really good kid. But
Felicity was also his sister.
"That's recent Harry. Skylar came on his own in July of last year. He's 15. He
told her 2 weeks ago and she's been adjusting to it very well. He's very
protective of her." Ginny said softly
"I just worry is all. It's like when the wolf and human merge everything
changes. We need to go."
Ginny nodded and stood as everyone else did. Everyone was nervous, this was
Harry's first trial and it was very high profile. He couldn't lose the case,
there wasn't any wiggle room. Every single charge was accounted for and there
was no way Dumbledore could talk his way out of it.
Everyone put on their robes and Harry's nerves jumped. What in the hell made
him think he could do this? Why in the hell had they chosen him? He was just a
17 year old boy, what made them think he was capable of this? Then he looked
into his sisters eyes and smiled. He pulled her into a tight hug thankful she
was here. Skylar wisely didn't say a word, he knew better.
"Happy Birthday."
"Thank you brother. We will talk when we get recess. I promise."
Harry nodded and kissed her forehead as he set her back down on her feet. It
was time and Harry hoped he had it in him to accomplish what normally took
years of school and several dozen cases. It was starting to look like his path
was once again bring laid out before him.
***
They arrived at the ministry in mass. Harry leading the DA, Ginny and Draco at
either side. The Weasley's were there, Remus and Severus, Lucius and Summer,
Lilly and James, Sirius and Sparrow, Yuri and Juliette. Everyone he loved and
cared for were at his back and it was starting to feel a lot less overwhelming.
Suddenly he didn't feel like it was as hopeless as he had thought just a short
time ago.
When they walked into the courtroom it was still empty, they had made it on
time. His group sat at the left side of the witness stand, Ginny holding a huge
stack of files on her lap. She and Draco would be the ones helping him keep
everything straight. As he mounted the cameras and did a sound check with
Dudley, the courtroom began to fill.
As Harry stood collecting himself, a man who looked oddly like Dumbledore
approached him. He faced the man, heavily guarded as he introduced himself.
"Aberforth Dumbledore, Albus is my elder brother. I run the Hogs Head. I need
you to lock this bastard away. I have watched him become more corrupt and more
twisted as time went on. Because he is my brother I was helpless to try to stop
it, but I knew. I will testify against him here today if you so wish it. He has
to be stopped."
Harry held out his hand and firmly shook Aberforth's.
"Thank you. I may need you, so you have been warned."
"I'm here to help in anyway I can. Call me Abe."
Harry nodded and watched as the man sat next to Molly. Abe was Harry's ace in
the hole and everyone knew it. As Albus was led in and chained to the chair,
Harry added his own magic in ensure the man couldn't escape. Harry wasn't
taking any chances with as many people as he cared for in the room. Then things
started getting fuzzy, there was something wrong with his eyes.
"Harry, alright?" Draco asked
"Could you get my glasses out of the bag? Lets start with the blue case.
Everything's all fuzzy."
Draco put his glasses in his hand and watched as Harry put them on. He blinked
a few times as everything came into focus.
"That is the strangest thing. I need a pow wow with the powers about a few
things. I need a few answers." Harry sighed
"The last time you saw the powers you slept for 3 days. That wouldn't be a bad
however." Draco smirked
"If your going to pass out for 3 days I request it happen in Greece." Ginny
laughed
Harry rolled his eyes as the Wizmot came in thru the side door and took their
seats. Kingsley looked at Harry confused at the glasses on his face.
"My eyes started messing up about 5 minutes ago. Tell me always having my
glasses on my person is silly now."
"Well it isn't now. I don't think I've ever seen you this put together. You
look rather nice."
"Thanks? Can we please get this started? I'm still trying to figure out why I
was chosen for a lot of the things I've been chosen for."
"Because it just feels right. And I will stand by the choices that I have made.
The Aurors would like to see you after the trial, as well as the records office
and the Wizmot. I'll see you Sunday and you can yell at me all you want to."
"Yes because we have to pencil in our arguments now."
Kingsley rolled his eyes as the courtroom laughed. Harry just shook his head
and sighed as he took his glasses off the clean them. Things were getting fuzzy
again and it wasn't because his glasses were smudged. Without a word, Harry
turned and Draco dig in the bag again. This was crazy! He had had perfect eye
sight for over a year and now it was going all screwy on him.
"Kings, dampening charms?"
"Well yes. It's standard. Why?"
"I am magic. You have to lift them. I can't even see! Or at least not as
strong."
"Harry-"
"I need you to trust me."
Kingsley nodded and had the dampening charms removed from the courtroom. All at
once Harry's eye sight returned to normal. Shaking his head, Harry handed his
glasses back to Draco and blinked several times. That was so much better.
"I forgot." Kingsley admitted
"It's alright. Anyone try anything and you will find yourself stunned. That's
why we are chatting, we still have 15 minutes."
Kingsley laughed as Harry pulled his cell phone from his pocket and started
checking on everyone. The trial was going live across the UK so they had to
stick to their time table. They would be right after the morning news.
Rebekkah was about to go live and Dudley had already logged into the news
stations network. Dudley was actually on the TV stations payroll, Harry was
proud of that. Dudley would never fight in the war. His job on both ends was
video documentation, production, editing, and live broadcast. Harry was
thankful for that.
At approximately 10am, they went live and the trial officially started. Harry
was about to get all the answers that he had wanted for so long.
"I call the trial of Albus Percival Warfic Brian Dumbledore to session. The
charges stand as thus; fraud, impersonation, illegal use of a time turner,
reckless endangerment, unjust imprisonment, rape, torture, creating children
without the donors consent, illegal sex camps. How do you plead?" Kingsley said
strongly
"Is there even a point in pleading? You put the one person in charge of this
case capable of working the puzzle out. You want answers, Harrison now holds
them all."
"I do in fact hold them. The question Albus is why. Why?"
"Harrison, you of all people should know what it's like to want something and
never be able to reach it."
"The things that I chase better the world. The goals you chase destroy it. I
want peace. You want power. I have power. You have a twisted agenda."
Harry crossed to stand before Dumbledore and crossed his arms, rocking back on
his heels. Albus laughed, knowing Harry very well.
"You have several reasons to be angry Harrison and every right to be."
"I now have 12 children Albus. 3 grandchildren. And that's just me. -"
"Can you name them all?"
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"I'm going to go to Azkaban quietly. I have done everything you've read. I will
not attempt a break out for a years time. So instead of dragging this trial
out, lets just have a conversation. I'm use to a lot of human interaction. I'm
not even allowed a news paper. You are my biggest mistake and my greatest
regret. I couldn't turn you, I couldn't mold you and shape you. Your mind was
far too strong and your magic protected you. Thomas and Felicity came from the
same blood, they too were Unbreakable. I could not harness your magic, even
thru Voldemort. You have already begun the path I always wanted."
"But I don't want it. The path I now walk is for a better existence. The things
that I do are for the sake of everyone, not just myself. My path has chosen
me."
"And there is the difference between evil and greatness. Your humble, noble,
kind, and just. You have the ability to love and be loved. You act with more
compassion and honor then anyone I have ever met. You do not embark on projects
to glorify yourself but to help others. How long did it take you to modify the
Wolfsbane?"
"Since third year. It all finally came together right before I sat my mastery.
The outcome however was totally unexpected. The spell came together before the
potion did."
"And tell me why you did it?"
"Because I love my Papa."
"But you didn't stop with just Remus did you?"
"No."
"No, you didn't. You then started collecting packs. How many live on properties
you own?"
"We have one main Alpha, Remus, and 6 sub Alphas. Then there's Thomas and
Helena's pack, the ones from the camps. Then there will be another 80 born over
the next 6 months. All merged and most of them either in school or in a trades
program. Yuri, Luca's father is actually an Auror."
"How many?"
Harry thought for a few minutes and started to count them all up.
"490."
"You are only 30 short of every wolf in Europe. Those 30 are bound to me."
"Graybacks pack."
"Yes. Have you gone global?"
"We are about to. I never really thought about it till now."
"And you did it out of love. Then you didn't just turn them out. You housed
them so they could rebuild their lives. How many do you have in your own home?"
"They come to Potter Manor when they turn 11 right before school starts. It
makes transport easier. Trunks are packed 2 days before and sent ahead. The
night before we sit and pack lunches."
"Lunches?"
"Yes. Lunch boxes for the kids in the house then Ginny, Emilie, and Helena
carry an extra 50 each. I thought they were nuts until the bags they carry came
back empty."
"So your family goes on to feed every kid on the train? Why?"
"I haven't the slightest clue."
"Because like you, they have big hearts. Now can you name all your children in
order?"
Harry sighed, indulging the man. The muggles were more then likely as confused
as everyone else in the court room. Harry himself was slightly confused.
"Fine. Then I'd like some answers. I have a lot of questions that I need
answers to. I need the why behind the evil. Albus, I am not the boy you turned
your back on when I needed you. I am very much the man that you have betrayed
time and time again. And I need to know why you did everything that you did."
"That's fair enough."
"'Emilie, 13. Conner, 7. Joslynn and Jillian, 5. Cameron, 2. Paige, 1. Liam and
Laila, 1.Xavier, 1. Chase, Ian, and Evan, 6 months. Then there's Aubrey and
Adrian, 8 months. Addison, 4 months. Those would be the Malfoy-Potters."
"Impressive. Now you have questions."
Harry smiled, oh there would be a trial. Everyone deserved answers, especially
the people in this room.
"The night my parents died you dropped me off at the Dursley's. I actually
lived with them until you killed them last summer. If they had physical
custody, why did you still sign off as my guardian?"
"Because I needed access to your vaults. But I couldn't get into the ones I
really needed to get into. The money funded several projects over the years.
Then Severus Snape stepped in and the accounts were frozen."
"How did you know who's DNA to combine?"
"It was just a hunch. The 3 of you were perfect together. Everyone could see
that."
"Why did you bind us?"
"In hopes nothing great could out shine me. None of this was ever meant to
happen. Ginny was meant to die in the chamber. Draco was meant to join
Voldemort. You were never meant to tap into your powers and die at Voldemort's
hand. Severus I've been trying to kill for 2 decades, he kept getting away."
"Why Severus? Why was he so important?"
"Because he promised your mother that he would protect you. With him there, I
couldn't get anywhere near you. Lilly and Severus have been best friends since
they were 6 years old."
"I didn't know that. Power couples?"
"Exactly. Or in your case a triad."
"Why Thomas and Felicity?"
"Control. I was still trying to bend one of them to my will to create a dark
power you wouldn't be able to kill. Never happened."
"Why did you turn Thomas?"
"Because I thought it would make him stronger. Another experiment that didn't
go as planned. So then he was turned into a stud wolf. They are easier to
control when heavily drugged. I'm not even sure how many children there are.
How the hell they got out."
"13 children. Grayback helped us out. Abo is not as loyal to you as you think."
Thomas smirked
"Apparently not. How long?"
"Always. I'm Alpha. Abo is like the father we all never had. Where is he?"
"I don't know. He comes and goes as he pleases."
Felicity sat forward and had a hurried conversation with Thomas. Harry had a
bad feeling about this.
"How does Lucius play into everything?"
"It was the conditions of his release."
"To follow you?"
"To do as he was told. The first chance he was given he jumped sides. What
could you possibly offer that I don't?"
"Freedom. Hot shower. 3 meals a day. Trust. Family. Love. We have everything
that you don't. Lucius is actually an active member of our house hold. As soon
as all the charms were removed he was a completely different person."
"It looks that way. Lessons were not learned then."
"What lessons?"
"Loyalty. Devotion.-"
"Oh no they were learned. Why did you kill Narcissa Malfoy?"
"Consequence for failure. Not just on Lucius part, Draco's as well. He wasn't
meant to love you. Did you know? Draco was a pretty big part of my plans."
"I did actually. It's called honesty. Loyalty. Respect. Trust. Love. It's how
relationships work. Why not someone closer to me?"
"Because Ron and Hermione were always together. You and Ginny were always
together. Draco was the easiest one to get close to. The emotions were already
there. I just had to find away to get him close to you. Never got that chance.
The night Voldemort died was never meant to happen."
"Voldemort had an ego that you forgot about. He really liked to gloat. So Draco
was meant to die that night?"
"Yes. The triad was never meant to happen."
"Well alright then. What would breaking up the triad accomplish?"
"Because it's the power you weld together that is unstoppable, not apart.
That's what I was never able to destroy. The triad needs to be a complete
triad."
"Why?"
Harry was fishing for answers, maybe Dumbledore knew something they didn't.
"Because without them your magic would've already consumed you. Every move you
make, every step; they must be with you. So until the triad is complete you
will accomplish nothing."
Harry nodded and looked at his family. Selfish greed was the only thing driving
Albus Dumbledore and his own madness.
"I don't even really want to look at you anymore. But I will thank you for each
and every one of my kids. One more thing and you can head to your comfy cell."
"What's that?"
"We are a complete triad." Harry smirked before turning to Ginny and Draco "We
need to sit down and revise those plans."
"Again?! Really?! Didn't we just do that?!" Ginny and Draco exclaimed
"I really hate it when you do that. It's creepy."
"It's not like we plan it." They said again
Harry just shook his head as they smirked at him. Dumbledore sat there in shock
as Harry passed his research to Kingsley.
"I thought I told you that before. Yeah I think I did, after Patrick passed
away. You must've forgot."
"Draco? With a female? I can't see that?"
"Thank Merlin for that." Ginny and Draco laughed
Harry was smirking but he was starting to get rather annoyed with the twin
speak. Dumbledore shook his head and looked at Harry funny.
"Different all together?"
"Yes."
"Draco how in the hell?"
"It's about things that you could never possibly understand. All the things
Harry listed and then some. We see Harry at his weakest. We are the first ones
he asks for help. We are a team, without one of us everything is out of
balance. I couldn't have done what you demanded of me. Not after he saved my
life. Not after the first kiss."
Harry then pulled out Ginny's laptop from his bag and pulled up the video
archive. He held the screen in front of Albus and let him watch what happened
to Voldemort. Then he let him watch as he put Draco back together, saving the
blonds life.
"You didn't use magic?"
"Not to kill him. I developed a poison just for him. Voldemort is predicable.
It was easy to distract him."
"I have plotting to do."
"Yeah me too. One year? Make sure he gets a news paper. Lets make this
interesting."
"One year. Dawnash, I'd like to go back to my cell."
"Well that was an interesting conversation. Yet enlightening. Based on the
investigation notes alone, we didn't even have to bother with a trial. I
should've asked you for this last week. Apparently Harry knows something we
don't-"
"Oh he's promised not to try to break out for a year. It's inevitable. I'd just
like to prepare for it."
"Dawnash, just take him to his cell. Harry, you are really good at this. These
reports are very informative."
"Thank you. Those I did actually write. However, when I start I have a bad
habit of short hand. Draco re wrote them. My handwriting is horrible."
"I was referring to the content. I know how bad your handwriting is. Now, isn't
it Felicity's birthday?"
Harry nodded as the courtroom emptied out. He needed to have a chat with his
sister and a wolf. He made his stop offs where he had been instructed after
sending everyone home. The triad were now Aurors having conducted the best
investigation the department had ever seen. The records department passed him a
certification to practice law, Harry just rolled his eyes. The Wizmot made his
membership official and he was given his robes and what not. It was ridiculous.
***
Harry waited until everyone had lunch and changed before he went in search of
Felicity and Skylar. Luca was one of Skylar's closest friends, he was sure that
someone had warned the boy of how protective Harry was. He found the wolf in
question coming out of Emilie and Luca's room, Harry smirked.
"Skylar just who I was looking for. Where is Felicity?"
"In her room sir. I was picking up her birthday present, then I was going to
ask her on a walk." The boy replied
"It's turned into a chat with Harry. Now, it's not James you really have to
worry about, it's me. You hurt my sister, you force her into anything she's not
ready for and I will personally hurt you. Clear?"
"Yes sir."
"Good. Is she expecting you?"
"Yes."
Harry watched as the boy respectfully knocked on the door and waited for
Felicity to answer. When she opened the door, she stepped aside and let them
in. She had been expecting Harry at some point and sighed.
"Harry, I would like the charms off my room. I would like to work on this
relationship. Skylar and I have an understanding. I set the rules. The reason I
need him here tonight is because I have really bad nightmares. Dumbledore
always visited on my birthday I don't want to be alone."
"You I trust, him I don't."
Felicity could look rather intimidating for only 5 foot tall and 90 lbs. She
walked forward and grabbed a handful of Harry's tee shirt pulling him down so
she didn't have to look up.
"You remind me of our mother and my wife right now. This means that there is no
room for argument and I have no choice but to listen. Alright Felicity, I can't
stop it. I give."
"Just trust me."
Harry smiled as he pulled his sister into a hug, picking her up as he stood.
"Alright. I'm right here if you need me. I love you."
"I love you too. Now put me down. I'm moving him in here."
"I know. Do it after mum and dad go to bed."
"Got it."
Harry set Felicity back down and sighed. So much for that. As he left the room
he dismantled the charms and set up new ones before shutting the door behind
him.
Felicity smirked at Skylar before crossing the room and climbing onto her bed;
he followed her. They lay side by side, not saying a word. This is the closest
they had ever been, never touching more then holding hands. Now he was going to
be staying here with her. Skylar was terrified.
"Are you sure about this Evie?"
"Yes. We can't build a relationship terrified someone will find out. Now I want
you to put your head on my shoulder and hold me."
Felicity rolled onto her back and waited for the boy to respond. After a few
seconds, Skylar tucked himself into Felicity's side, putting his head on her
chest and an arm around her waist. He sighed unable to help himself as he
closed his eyes.
"This is different. I'm calm."
"I'm sure you've been calm before."
"Not like this." Skylar said as he leaned up to look down at her "Its really
hard to explain."
Felicity gave him an odd look as he inched closer. Was he going to kiss her?
Was she going to let him? The answer was yes on both counts. Felicity let her
eyes flutter shut as Skylar's lips gently met hers. It was sweet and gentle,
chaste. But it was the first for both of them. When he pulled back both kept
their eyes closed as he rested his forehead to hers.
"May I kiss you again?"
"Please."
He kissed her harder this time, firmer. She moaned quietly as she opened her
mouth and allowed him in. The kiss was slow and sweet as they became lost in
each other. Now she understood what some of the other girls went on about.
When he pulled back, she opened her eyes, the world was totally different now.
She was starting to feel like a normal teenager.
"First kiss." She whispered
Skylar nodded and he kissed her gently again. He then sat up on his knees and
looked down at her. He was at a total loss.
"I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm a little scared. I know what I want. I just
don't know what you want."
"I'm not sure either. Can you hold me when I try to figure it out? I'm still
trying to figure out teenager."
Skylar laughed as he lay back down and pulled her into his arms.
"Lets talk. We can figure it out together."
Felicity smiled into his chest and they talked.
***** Chapter 9: A New Life Begins *****

Author's notes: Lucius and Summer, Narcissa returns
===============================================================================
Chapter 9: A New Life Begins
(November 20, 2006)
Lucius knew that he was ready to complete the bond as he watched Summer run
with her pack mates. He had never had a women complete him the way she did. She
had stepped into a very broken family and was helping them put it back
together. He was so lucky to have her. He knew then that he loved her, he just
had no idea how it had happened.
He smiled as she and Remus began to salsa. Who knew Remus could dance? Summer
was an amazing mother, an amazing women, a amazing friend. He was amazed
everytime he turned around and she was still there. Narcissa hadn't even stuck
around.
He watched the moons effects and thought of his first marriage. It was the
fathers who arranged the marriages to ensure pureblood. He hadn't wanted to
marry Narcissa and she hadn't wanted to marry him. He had been too rough with
her the first time and Draco had happened that same night. She wouldn't let him
touch her for years after that. He didn't blame her. He didn't want that this
time. This time he wanted more.
As Summer ran back to him she pressed herself to his side shivering.
"I'm freezing. The moon is still at peak, I'm not going to be able to sleep.
Deep thoughts, stop."
"No, thoughts with reason. Come, before your frozen."
Summer nodded and let him led her into the house. She didn't like it when he
lost himself in his thoughts, she thought he got in his own way. They shared
everything of themselves, just not themselves. Summer was starting to get
frustrated.
When they entered the room, she went straight into the closet. There had to be
away to get Lucius' attention. A way to clearly say what she wanted without
having to say a word. As the bathroom door clicked shut, Summer smiled. She was
now alone.
As she stripped off layers, she thought about the man on the other side of the
wall. He was complicated, slightly up tight, and very proper. She was totally
the other way around, but the complimented each other perfectly.
He held her as often as he could, seemed to enjoy having her in his arms. He
held her as she fell asleep every night. She woke up in his arms every morning.
He called her love. But he had never kissed her. Not once.
Stepping out of the closet, she put the wards up so they had total privacy.
She'd have to thank Molly for keeping the boys, they needed this time alone.
When Lucius came out of the bathroom her knew she was angry, he even knew what
about. He wasn't going to argue with any women dressed in nothing but panties
and a tank top. So he sat on the bed and waited, closing his eyes so he didn't
have to see her anger.
"Luc, tell me?"
"I'm scared. I'm terrified that somehow I'm going to screw this up! I'm
terrified by how much I need you! I'm terrified that one day I'll wake up and
it would've all been a dream! I'm terrified by how much I love you!"
He was now standing in front of her, angry that he had shouted. He had let it
all build up again and it all came spewing out. He cursed and turned to sit on
the sofa.
"It's all very new to me love I need you to understand that. I'm so terrified
that I'm going to hurt you. That you'll run. I can't see my life now without
you beside me and I've never experienced that before."
Summer crossed the room and sat beside him on the sofa, taking his hand in
hers.
"Luc, I've never done any of this before. I'm terrified too. Will you please
look at me?"
Lucius turned and took her hand in both of his, locking his eyes with hers.
"But I love you. And if I didn't think I couldn't trust you, I wouldn't be
telling you. I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I'm
waiting on you."
Lucius looked down at their hands. Everything he wanted was just handed to him
and he had no idea what to do next. Summer took the choice from him and moved
into his lap, making him laugh.
"Forward as always. Never, anything?"
"No and I have been told I'm crazy several times. But I waited for my man and
I'm still waiting for my man."
Lucius wanted to kiss her, drown in her. But he chose to touch. He loved to
watch her respond to his touch, it was almost like a drug. Slowly he ran his
hand up her thigh to her hip before going under the hem of her tank top and
running his hand up her back. Her eyes closed as he pulled her toward him,
bringing her against his chest. She opened her eyes as his nose nudged hers.
"Please kiss me. I've been dying for you to kiss me." She whispered
"I want as slow as we can handle. I want to do so many things to you. I want
this to be different."
"Then make it so."
"I have already begun."
Lucius kissed her gently, pulling her closer still. He moaned as the kiss
deepened, keeping it slow. He wanted to really enjoy this for the first time in
his life.
Slowly he broke the kiss wanting her neck instead. She tilted her head to
accommodate him, loving the feel of his lips on her. At her ear he stopped,
smirking.
"Have you ever orgasmed?" He whispered
"No."
"Turn and put your back to me. Are there wards up?"
"Yes. I thought ahead. The orphanage sterilized all wolves at 10, I don't have
the parts. No charms."
"That's barbaric."
Summer nodded her head as she leaned back into him. She had her head on his
shoulder as he lifted he leg with his, putting his foot on the coffee table.
When her tank top was pulled over her head, she felt slightly embarrassed. But
she leaned back and gave in.
"Relax. Close your eyes. Just feel."
Summer closed her eyes as his hands began to roam.
"Merlin, your so beautiful." He whispered
She moaned as Lucius slipped his hand into her panties cupping her. When he
slid his fingers between her folds and found her clit, her breath caught as he
slowly began to work her. She had never felt so many things at once before.
"Luc, shit."
Lucius smirked as he gently brought her to orgasum, holding her as she came
back under control. He kissed her shoulder as she looked up at him. She had
nothing to say.
"Oh there's more. Come to bed with me." He whispered
Summer nodded and allowed him to led her. As she lay down on the bed, she
pulled her panties off and tossed them aside. She felt exposed as he lay there
watching as Lucius stripped his clothes off. This was the first time she had
seen a naked man and this one was hers.
As he knelt between her knees, he smiled. She was his for the taking and he was
delighting in every second.
"Luc, please. Don't make me wait anymore."
"This is going to hurt the first time. But it will only hurt this once. I can't
wait either."
Kissing her deeply, Lucius lined himself up and pushed forward, then stopped.
"Look at me love."
Summer locked her eyes with his and nodded. He pushed in all at once and she
arched as she cried out.
"It's alright. Breath." He whispered
"I'm alright."
Lucius kissed her softly as she began to rotate her hips slowly, making him
moan. He rested his forehead to hers as he ran his hand over her thigh.
"Merlin, where did you learn that? Don't stop."
"Dance. Secret passion. I want you to move." She whispered
Lucius began to move slowly as she continued to rotate her hips. He had never
felt anything like what she was doing to him. He'd enjoyed the compony of his
own hand more then he had of a women, until now.
Summer was the one to pick up the pace and Lucius complied as climax quickly
approached. He locked his eyes to hers as it quickly built and sent them flying
over the edge.
As they lay there panting, they felt the bond solidify. They were now one,
bound forevermore. Lucius couldn't help but smoke as he kissed her gently.
"I love you." He whispered
"I love you too. It was worth the wait."
Lucius smiled as he sat up and cast a cleaning charm. He wanted to hold her to
him and never let her go. Pulling the blankets back on the bed, they climbed
under and he did just that.
"Forevermore." He whispered
"Forevermore." She agreed
Summer kissed him softly before snuggling in. Life had finally begun.
*******
Harry had decided to send everyone home on December 16, just wanting to go home
and relax. Since Dumbledore had been locked away it had been blissfully quiet,
Harry loved every minute of it. But the closer Christmas got, the more uneasy
he felt.
The moon was just days away and babies were still coming. They were being born
at the hospital and then coming to the manor. There was less stress, but
screaming babies could stress anyone out. Harry had to open another manor there
were so many infants, but that also meant more turned wolves now had employment
thru the ministry. It wasn't perfect, but it worked.
Then there was Skylar and Felicity. Harry watched as the pair became closer
over the last 2 months really building their relationship. On one hand he was
very proud of the way Felicity decided to handle her relationship. On the other
hand he hoped she could wait a little bit longer. Luca and Emilie were still
adjusting to each other, but they hadn't had a choice. As deep as the love was,
they were still just kids with way too much responsibility.
They sat decorating the tree on the night of the moon. Stationary things like
stringing popcorn left to those who weren't wolves. The house was in constant
motion and Harry wondered how all the adults kept up.
"Something doesn't feel right. The air is really thick. I'm sick to my stomach.
Just like-"
Harry stopped short as the thought hit him and ran out into the foyer. Second
later he was starring at Narcissa.
"Dray, your mum is here. Cassi!"
"Harrison James! Your so tall!"
Narcissa's laughter rang thru the foyer as Harry picked her up and hugged her
tightly.
"Oh I missed you. It's been over a year." Harry whispered
"I love you dear but I want to see my son."
"I'm here. How long?"
"I'm not going any where. Come. Please."
Draco nearly ran across the room and hugged his mother tightly. He had missed
her privetly, hugging her sweater tight. He missed her so much it nearly drove
him crazy. It had even gotten to the point where Molly had enlarged her sweater
so he could wrap himself in it. He sobbed unable to help it as he breathed in
his mothers sent.
"Don't you ever do that to me again. Do you understand me. I can not do that
again mum. It nearly killed me."
"I'm so sorry my dragon. I wanted to spend my last minutes with my heart. Now,
where are my things? I'd line to change and as I recall the moon is tonight?"
"It is. We just put everyone down for a nap. Come with me and I'll fill you in
when you change." Draco said softly
They started up the stairs as Ginny was coming down. When they reached each
other in the middle, both women were sobbing as they hugged each other. Then
Molly came up behind them and it was a bloody mess. Draco just watched, happy
to have his mother back.
"Holy fuck."
At the sound of his fathers voice, Draco looked up at the top of the stairs and
cursed. There stood Lucius and Summer. When Narcissa looked up she laughed,
setting her head on Ginny's shoulder.
"See I told you."
"Yes, you did. However your Lucius and my Lucius are two different people."
"He's in jeans. It's looking that way. So technically I'm dead. Your the new
Mrs.Malfoy. I'm going back to Black. I'm still your best friend Lucius, nothing
can change that. We were better friends anyhow. You can be a real ass hole."
"And you can be a bitch. Now will you let me process please. I still have a
hard time with a lot of emotions all at once. Paige is coming down the hall.
When did she learn that?"
"Paige Christine!" Draco scolded
"I climb papa."
Draco stopped and just stared.
"Sorry that was her first sentence. And you have been told, no climb."
Draco picked up the toddler and sighed. His mother was laughing at him.
"Want out." Paige said
"No, it's nap time."
"No nap."
"Yes nap. Gin can you take mum to change please? Fill her in."
"More then happy to. Paige, it's nap time."
"No nap!"
Narcissa kissed her babies cheek, then followed Ginny. It was going to be a
very long afternoon.
***
Harry was in his office when Skylar knocked on the door. Harry looked up and
motioned the boy in. He looked worried and nervous, like something important
was on his mind.
"What's the matter?"
"I have nothing for Felicity for Christmas."
"Did you ask her?"
"In October. Again in November. Then again last week. She says she has
everything she wants. It's frustrating as all hell I'm telling you."
"Trust me I know. I went thru the same thing with mine."
Skylar laughed.
"What did you get her?"
"I got her a laptop. Mum and Dad upgraded her phone. Clothing and shoes. She
finally grew! Girl stuff that Ginny and Helena have been teaching her. Emilie
got everyone zip up hoodies and warm up with Infinity on them. But I didn't
tell you that."
"Got it. Women always this frustrating and hard to understand?"
"Yes. Men too."
"Thanks. I'll figure something out."
"I can't believe I'm actually going to say this. Let her decide."
"Harry, do you know what your implying? I'm trying to do this slowly and it's
difficult. I love her more then life but I don't want to rush anything."
"Sometimes it's not really your choice. This ones hers. Have you told her you
love her?"
Skylar shook his head and left the room more frustrated then he already was.
But Harry was right. It was Felicity's choice and if she wanted to complete the
bond, they would complete the bond.
***
"Evie, I would like to talk to you about something."
Felicity was curled up in an armchair reading in their room. She and Skylar
weren't currently on speaking terms. He had snapped at her a few hours ago and
stormed out of the room. When he had come back, she out right ignored him. She
was winning this one.
"Not until you apologize for snapping at me."
"Evie. I'm sorry, I'm just frustrated. This is our first Christmas and I wanted
to get you something. Now I'm left with nothing."
He was kneeling beside her chair, wanting desperately to touch her. He just
wanted to hold her, he always wanted to hold her.
"Sky, I truly have everything I have ever wanted. I have my family. I have
friends. I have love. That is all that I have even wanted. I have you, you I
never expected. I don't want you to buy me anything. You've already given me
the greatest gift I have ever received."
"What?"
"You. You gave yourself to me. Your love. Your understanding. That's all I
want."
Skylar stood and kissed her softly before running out of the room, not
bothering to shut the door. Harry was standing in the foyer helping his mother
hang decorations, Skylar just smirked as he leaned on the railing.
"Harry?"
"What?"
"Thank you. There was an explanation behind it."
"I told you to ask the right questions. She's not really that complicated."
"No she really isn't."
Skylar went back into the room and closed the door. Felicity was smiling at him
shaking her head.
"I don't have anyone to go to. Most of the time we go to Harry. Uncle Harry we
call him, I recently dropped the uncle part."
"He's the best choice. He's my brother."
Skylar sat on the sofa and motioned her over. She sat in front of him like she
always did, leaning back into his chest as his arms came around her. She knew
that he had more to say, so she waited. Hopefully that L word would pop up
sooner or later.
Skylar sighed as he kissed her neck. Perhaps he should be totally honest with
her. Get everything out into the open. Take Harry's advise again.
"I'm having a hard time with my control. The moon is tonight and I'm scared."
"Scared of what?"
"That I won't be able to stop when you tell me too. The moon is intense Evie, I
wish you could understand. It was difficult last month. This month I'm not sure
what will happen."
Felicity turned in his arms and looked into his eyes. He was being honest with
her, totally and completely honest. She smiled and kissed him gently.
"Lets just see how it goes. I trust you."
"No, I love you. That's an all in one go."
Skylar smirked as she just starred at him. He had said it, the L word. And he
had never meant anything so much in his entire life. Pulling her close, he
kissed her again.
"I love you more then life and I will until the day I die. You are everything
to me and I never want to let you go. You are my moon."
Felicity smiled as she lay her head down on his chest. She was so happy in that
moment that she couldn't even speak. She couldn't help her tears either as they
dampened the front of his tee shirt.
"I love you." She was finally able to whisper "That is the best gift I've ever
received. Ever."
"And I will never be able to tell you enough. I owe your brother big time."
"Me too."
They just sat, curled up in each other until they were called down to dinner.
Felicity couldn't help her smile and didn't care if she looked silly or not.
***
Narcissa was walking towards the playroom when she caught sight of Summer and
Lucius. They were standing outside their bedroom door arguing, well kind of.
"Luc, what you need to do is talk to her. No one could've foreseen this. Harry
said we could move to the guesthouse, so lets just move to the guest house.
This doesn't have to be weird at all. Your making it that way."
"I just don't know what to do."
"Talk to her. I'm going to give the boys their bath and get them ready for bed.
Keegan is sounding stuffy. 30 minutes. She right over there, talk to her."
Summer kissed him softly before entering the room to run a bath.
"You can't hide from her. Come out." Lucius sighed
Narcissa stepped out of the alcove and crossed her arms as she walked towards
him. He was a completely different person then the man she had known.
"What did he have you under?" Narcissa asked
"What didn't he have me under? When I came here in June my magic was bound. I'm
under an Unbreakable vow as an insurance policy. Then 4 months ago we found a
set of twin boys the man gifted me with, its around the same time Summer
entered our lives. She's our glue."
"I can see that. You have something really great here don't you?"
"I really do. I'm happy Cassi, very happy. Come help me get the boys. I'll
explain."
Narcissa nodded and walked beside him as he led them to the playroom. He went
into detail about the complex emotions he was feeling, about how his world had
changed. Then she saw the boys and just about melted.
"They are just too much. Who is who?" She gushed
"If Draco didn't mix them up again trying to make me remember. Kellen is in
blue and Keegan is in green. Draco named them I was very overwhelmed at the
time."
Narcissa picked up Keegan and held him close, she was in heaven. Lucius
couldn't help but smile as they left the playroom.
"Your lucky, Keegan is his mummy's boy."
"Auntie Cassi has a way with infants. You remember when Bella had Rain. Oh my
word, I raised that baby till she was 4 then they took her from me! I was
pregnant with Paige at the time but I was so angry."
"She's almost 6?"
"Yes. Why?"
"Get her back. Send Harry. Bella is in Azkaban."
Narcissa looked over at him and smirked, he smirked back.
"Now that is my Luc. Alright, you go in first."
Lucius rolled his eyes and opened the door. Summer was laying the boys clothes
out.
"He's letting you hold him?"
Narcissa smiled as she kissed Keegan's head.
"Auntie Cassi, and no you don't get a choice in that, loves babies. They are
just beautiful."
"Oh they really are. Especially at 2am when their hungry and wet." Summer
laughed "Cas I missed you."
Summer hugged Narcissa as Keegan started to fuss. He was a momma's boy.
Narcissa passed the boy as Lucius put his twin in the swing. He was good with
them, more vested then he was in Draco.
"Could you check and see if Molly is still watching the boys tonight?"
"Yes. I now understand the buzz thing. It's driving me nuts."
"Be happy your not a wolf and just mated to one. I feel like I've gone half
nuts already the moon has just started to rise. By midnight we are all going to
have to get stoned just to sleep! The magic is hot. Ask Harry."
"And Lena. We need a tent. I think I'll do that. Cassi,"
Narcissa was starting to wonder who the hell the man was standing in front of
her because it wasn't Lucius Malfoy.
"What in the hell is going on? This house has got some issues." She laughed
"Well yeah." Lucius said sarcastically "Harry doesn't sleep. Helena always has
a headache. We are all often under so much stress, it calls for it. The TV crew
hasn't even arrived yet.-"
"In going to see Harry. Right now."
"No, we are going to see Dudley. We will be in the TV room."
Lucius led Narcissa from the room and pulled out his phone pocket and sent
messages to several people. Narcissa was starting to get really weirded out.
"Dad! Hi mum."
Narcissa watched as Draco wrapped an arm around Lucius and started whispering
in his ear. Ok that was not normal. Then Lucius wrapped his arms around Draco,
leaning in as the boy whispered. Both were starting to laugh. When the hug
became honest, Narcissa let her mouth hang open.
"You better run. If your not out there later I love you." Lucius laughed
"I will be. I'm in deep shit though. I love you too. Oh shit."
Ginny came into view with neon pink hair that was standing up in several
directions. Neither of them could hold their laughter as she stopped in front
of them.
"Conner Rylee is in deep shit. As well as Fred and George. Where is Draco?"
Lucius pointed in the direction Draco had run right before he dissolved into
hysterics. Narcissa knew it was on now.
"Oh she looked ridiculous. I needed that laugh. Felicity will fix it for her,
Harry laughs too hard to focus. Come on, Dudley is waiting."
"Letting off steam?"
"Every time they come home. It gets out of hand sometimes. Especially if I'm
the target. There was one time last summer I picked Draco up and tossed him in
the pool for calling me a grumpy old man."
"That's not odd."
"He was in a suit. They had just gotten back from a meeting with prime minister
Cromwell. Harry had to replace his phone."
Narcissa laughed as he started re telling the pranks that she had missed. There
had been some really really good ones. Dudley was standing outside the TV room
waiting for them.
"I'll come back in an hour to pause it. We have all holiday. Did Ginny get
pranked?"
"Yes."
"Oh good it wasn't meant for me then. The running normally starts at 9. Colton
has colic."
"Bring him to me." Narcissa said gently "Draco and Paige both had colic."
"Oh thank god. Dezzy doesn't even want to run. Olivia finally adjusted. Avery
sleeps thru it."
Narcissa watched Dudley quickly walk down the hall and vanish into his room. It
was Desiree who brought the boy out just seconds later. Narcissa took him
gently and put him belly down on her arm, patting his back gently. He began to
calm.
"It's tummy distress. Lay with him on your naked tummy. It also has to do with
bonding. This isn't true colic, he's feeling disconnected from you. Go have a
nap, I've got him."
Desiree nodded and left them. Lucius opened the door for Narcissa finding the
room rather full.
"We haven't been allowed TV. Our pranks." One kid said
"I was told to come up. I haven't seen this. I haven't been here but 2 weeks.
Is someone wearing perfume? I smell sweet pea and summer rain? What - Oh, wait
a minute. I shouldn't have said that."
"New wolf?" Narcissa asked
"No. I just always chose to keep to myself. I'm from the states. My family was
ashamed so as soon as I was able I moved here. I'm a born. You died."
"I did. What are we watching Lucius?"
"Documentary. Just watch. I can't remember seeing you before."
"May I speak to you in the hall Mr.Malfoy?"
"You may. Excuse us."
Lucius had a feeling he knew what this was about. Narcissa was this mans mate
and he had just found her. As he shut the door he sighed.
"My name is Nehemiah DuCane. Narcissa is my mate."
"I have a mate of my own and give you full permition to win her. She deserves
someone who will love and honor her. I never could. She is my best friend, hurt
her and I will hurt you."
"Never Lord Malfoy."
"You know protocol. Impressive. You'll do just fine. Just remember protocol."
"I will. Nothing but respect."
"As it should be. Now, shall we return?"
Nehemiah inclined his head and Lucius opened the door. Narcissa was in for
quite a shock.
***
"Lucius, that was amazing!"
"No you getting Colton to sleep was amazing. Sir DuCane, may we help you with
something?"
"Thank you Lord Malfoy. Lady Black will you honor me this evening with your
compony?"
"And you are?"
"Nehemiah DuCane."
"I will. How shall I dress?"
"We will be staying inside. The running can wait."
"I'll dress for it then. No reason to miss it on my account."
Nehemiah inclined his head dismissing himself. Narcissa starred after him
pleased with what she saw.
"I'm his mate aren't I?"
"You are. He asked permition. He is very well raised."
"Who knew it would be so easy to fall back into the old protocol."
Lucius laughed as Narcissa returned the boy to his parents. They walked slowly
arm in arm as Narcissa processed.
"Luc, I have nothing to wear."
"Cassi, I can help you there." Summer said meeting them by the stairs "What are
you dressing for?"
"Another wolf has found their mate. A walk in the snow." Lucius smirked
Summer did an excited dance as she pulled Narcissa towards the room.
"Have you talked to Harry yet?"
"I'll go do that now. Women I swear."
"Really good ears honey." Summer called back
Lucius just shook his head and went in search of Harry. He may as well get all
of it out of the way.
***
Narcissa felt silly as she stood waiting by the stairs. She had never worn
anything this tight before, she didn't like how thin she was. Summer had put
her in a pair of skinny jeans that easily tucked into the black furry snow
boots on her feet. Under the black wool peacoat she was wearing a tight baby
blue turtleneck sweater with a black zip hoodie with fur around the hood. She
needed to go shopping.
"Lady Black? Wow, um."
"No protocol. Luc told me. After I agreed to this I realized I had to barrow
clothing. I need to go shopping."
"What do I call you?"
"Cassi. So, lets walk and talk. Shit, I don't have a room."
"Because Harry knows. Mates move in with each other as soon as they are found.
It makes the mate bond stronger. Will you hold my hand?"
"I will. It looks like I'll be sleeping in your bed."
"If you allow me to hold you the wolf will be satisfied."
Narcissa took his hand and they walked out of the house out into the snow.
Everyone was here and it was a total mad house. Nehemiah shielded her from
several snowballs as they walked in the garden. They knew that everyone was
watching them, but Narcissa really didn't care. She was really going to live
this time. She wasn't going to waste this gift.
Nehemiah was 37 and had come here hoping for a better life. His mother had been
victim of a wolf and he was the result. When he started transforming his
grandparents locked him in the dungeon so no one would ever know. He was taught
everything he knew by then including magic. Then they passed away they had left
him 100,000 and he was on his own. He and his uncle still exchanged letters,
they would be coming for Christmas. Nehemiah was thrilled.
They sat and watched as the children were called in at ten. Everyone under the
age of ten were now being tucked into their beds whining the whole time.
Nehemiah was a good looking man truth be told. Brown hair and dark blue eyes.
He had a strong square jaw, full lips, and the most perfect nose Narcissa had
ever seen. She could see herself spending the rest of this life with him.
Then she told him about herself, about how she was raised. Then she hit the
topic of the arranged marriage.
"You and Lucius didn't even like each other?"
"No. And we were both angry, but we had to comply the only other option was
death. We conceived Draco that night. I didn't let him touch me for years. The
first time was a memory I wished to forget. I've never really enjoyed it."
"We will have to change that."
"Do you really think you can? I was married for nearly 20 years
Nehemiah."
"Walk with me. I want to show you something, but not here."
Narcissa took his hand again and allowed herself to be led. They found a well
built snow fort and went inside, he sealed the entrance.
"Privacy is hard to come by in this house. Just trust me, please."
Narcissa nodded as he pulled her against him, her breath caught. What the hell?
Slowly he inched closer, breathing deeply.
"Sweet peas, summer rain, and warm silk. It's intoxicating."
Gently he kissed her, before pulling back. Narcissa was slightly confused.
"Tenderness is deserved by every woman. Let me show you. I have so much to show
you."
He kissed her again only this time she allowed him to deepen it. It was slow
and sweet and more then she had ever had before. She never wanted it to end.
"Now, you've been properly kissed." He whispered
"Yes I have. I've never been held like this."
"Hold on."
He let her go just long enough to unbutton his jacket before pulling her close
again. She wrapped her arms around him and sighed. She could hear his heart
hammering in his chest.
"That's what you do. You drive me crazy. I can't get enough. I will never get
enough. I will always feel half crazy with you in my arms."
"I like this. I like being held. I like it when you kiss me. So kiss me one
more time before they send out a search party."
Nehemiah laughed before he kissed her again. Oh she was never going to get
enough of this. But he pulled back, resting his forehead to hers.
"I'm going to fall hard and fast, it's already begun." He whispered "Harry's
set up a tent. Ever been stoned before?"
"I have. It's a guilty pleasure."
"Get stoned with me."
She smiled and nodded before she let him go. Quickly he buttoned his jacket and
opened the entrance. Snow balls flew in.
"Here's the plan. Emilie and Luca are behind this, that's who we need to take
out." Narcissa said softly
Nehemiah watched as she made a few snowballs before charging out. Who was this
women.
***
Narcissa sat in Nehemiah's lap, well between his knees, as an argument ensued.
Ginny was currently sitting just like Narcissa but Draco was trying to get her
to move. Harry was shaking his head staying well out of it. Then he held up 3
fingers and counted down.
"Harry tell her to move."
"I'm still very pissed off at you. After Felicity fixed my hair I hid in
Harry's study all day totally mortified. Neon pink, really."
"It wasn't my idea!"
"No but you played along with it! You might want to watch your ass Malfoy!"
"Oh, are we going there now?"
"You need to remember who my brothers are and who you crossed this afternoon."
Ginny stood and grabbed a handful of Draco's tee shirt pulling him down.
Narcissa smirked as Draco's eyes went wide.
"I love you. But you also fail to remember that I'm one crazy bitch. I just
bested the best and didn't even use magic. Watch your ass."
"Got it."
Ginny moved however and tucked herself into Harry's side. Draco hadn't really
won as he sat down with Harry, Ginny hadn't even started.
"I'm screwed." Draco sighed
"I told you lot to leave her alone. One of these days you will learn. I need to
set up some rules if this is going to start getting out of hand."
"You can't put rules on pranking Harry." James laughed
"Watch me. Lucius tossed Draco in the pool in July and it cost me 400 pounds.
Windows have been broken. Messes are continually made. By the time term starts
again I have a plastic tote full of cell phones, several laptops, I once even
took Lena's guitar. Restriction turns into detentions and I have even taken
Hogsmead weekends. It's total chaos! If I can't control my household who in
their right mind would trust me with a fucking army?!"
Everyone starred at him as he calmed himself down.
"We put a stop to it then. I'm sorry Ginny, I guess I just got caught up. Being
an adult sucks sometimes." Draco said
"I know it does, I slip up too. Apology accepted. Is that why Conner's toy box
is in your office?"
"I caught him setting up a prank that is bound to be epic."
"Did you take it down?" James asked "Who's it for?"
"I did not ask. No, I helped him finish setting it up. I'm not stupid. But it's
the last prank of the holiday."
Everyone laughed as Harry sat smirking. Draco was in for one hell of a surprise
in the morning. Conner didn't like anyone messing with his momma.
"So do we have a plan for the Christmas thing?" Narcissa asked
"The DuCanes will arrive in the morning. Christmas Eve we will have a sit down
as well as Christmas Day. What we did last year was put everyone's gifts in
baskets then passed them out at midnight. We have a one year that day as well."
"Who?" Molly asked
"Helena and Thomas. My bother stays within the rules, but tells me just about
everything."
"Too right." Helena smirked
Ginny, Draco, and Lilly started laughing, confusing everyone.
"I stayed in the rules. But it was killing me!"
"Right before the gala she called us into the intake room. The question was is
all Potter men were really good in bed or if she was just lucky." Ginny laughed
Harry, Thomas, and James went red as everyone waited for the answer. They 4 of
them smirked at each other. Harry didn't want to hear the answer.
"But if you all remember my conversation with Bella, I stated the answer. The
bar is set pretty high and yes he had been bested. Several times."
"How in the hell is a good duel better then sex? How does it even compare?"
Sirius asked
"In the beginning it normally starts out slow as you get a feel for your
opponent. It steadily builds until it reaches a climax. Then, it all comes
crashing down."
Harry looked at her strangely as she smirked. No wonder she liked to fight so
much.
"I don't think I ever want to duel you ever again." He said honestly
"I won the last one. In front of the entire school. My entire family. The
Aurors. The minister of magic. I think I'm ok with that."
Harry just shook his head as everyone laughed.
"We can watch those tomorrow, I have them both." Dudley smirked
"Great now everyone can watch as my wife puts me on my ass." Harry said
sarcastically
"Hey, your the one who kept pushing so hard. You made me what I am. Besides,
someone has to put you on your ass because no one else can."
"Yet." Draco smirked
"Yes, yet. He's almost gotten me a handful of times. Almost."
Harry laughed at the sneer Ginny sent in Draco's direction. Ok so they didn't
like each other right now. Knowing how they worked, they would be fucking in
the morning.
*****
Narcissa was nervous as she walked out of the bathroom. She had a good buzz and
she didn't want to waste it. Nehemiah was sitting on the bed in sleep pants,
waiting for her. The bed had been turned down, waiting for them, her nerves
jumped.
"We don't have to do anything Cassi. I'm content to hold you." He said softly
She just stood for a moment as she took in the sight before her. He was very
well toned and lean. He was beautiful and he was hers. She climbed into the bed
and got under the blanket.
"I'm still a little cold. I know. I'm just nervous. I'm as much a virgin as I
can be without actually being one."
"Sex doesn't have to be now love."
He got into the bed beside her and pulled her into his arms. She just looked up
at him, smiling slightly.
"I wasn't implying it was going to."
She then straddled his hips and leaned forward.
"I've just been properly kissed and rather enjoyed it. I want to be properly
touched. I want to finally understand what all the fuss is about."
Nehemiah sat up, taking her with him. He smiled as she wrapped her arms around
his neck, their faces inches apart.
"I'm going to have to get off after."
Narcissa smirked as she kissed him gently.
"I think I can help you with that. Show me."
Nehemiah kissed her deeply as he pulled her closer. He ran his hands over her
thighs, wanting more contact, he wanted her naked. Without much thought, he
pulled the slip over her head and tossed it aside. She was magnificent.
He kissed his way slowly down her neck until he reached her breast, taking the
nipple in his mouth swirling his tongue. Narcissa moaned soft as she fisted her
hands in his hair. The sensation running thru her body were new and she found
herself craving more.
When he pulled back he kissed her again, laying her back on the bed. He'd have
her begging soon, wanting things she didn't know existed. He wanted his mouth
on her, he wanted to taste her. He wanted all of her.
"Cassi," he panted "I think we should stop."
She shook her head and kissed him again. Nehemiah was helpless in it, wanting
so badly. Breaking the kiss, he changed his mind and began his slow decent. He
needed to taste her.
The first lick, had her going still, not really sure what he was doing. Then
another made her jerk. She put her hand on his head as he slowly began to tease
her. She had no idea it could feel this good.
"Please. So good." She moaned
Happy with the plea, Nehemiah went a little faster, sucked a little harder. He
then put 2 fingers inside her, moving them in and out in time with his tongue.
"Nehem, fuck."
Minutes later she was arching as orgasm hit hard. He wiped his mouth before he
lay beside her. She hadn't opened her eyes yet, still trying to catch her
breath.
"Holy shit." She said softly
Nehemiah laughed as he kissed her shoulder. He'd never seen anyone react quite
like that before. She was turning out to be everything he wanted in a mate and
then some.
He was taken by surprise as she put him on his back and rose over him. She was
smirking and Nehemiah was learning that wasn't always a good thing.
"Now it's your turn to come unglued. I'm not going to be a selfish lover."
"Cas, you don't have to. I'm not going to last very long. I've been hard most
of the night. I'd rather you just watch."
"Why?"
"I'm use to selfish lovers. I'm not use to being on the receiving end."
"You've never been sucked off?"
"I've never been sucked."
Narcissa kissed him gently. He was nervous.
"Just remember to breath."
Narcissa knelt between Nehemiah's knees and pulled his pajama bottoms off.
After tossing them aside, she lowered herself to her prize and slowly ran her
tongue up the shaft before taking the head in her mouth. Swirling her tongue,
she was satisfied with a moan.
"Oh, that's-"
He moaned again as she took him deep in her throat. He watched her not wanting
to wake up in a dream.
"Cas, I'm-"
Narcissa took him deep again as he came, milking him dry. He was panting as she
tucked herself into his side, smirking.
"I warned you. That smirk is dangerous."
"It is. It will do you well to remember that. Lets get some sleep. Your family
will be here in the morning."
They got under the blankets, Narcissa tucked into Nehemiah's side. He had never
been so content as he was right then. It was worth the wait.
*****
Felicity lay naked in Skylar's arms, very satisfied. They hadn't stopped this
time and had completed their bond. For the first time in her life she felt
complete and loved it.
"I love you." She whispered
"I love you my moon."
"What is our last name Sky?"
Skylar shook his head, he didn't have one.
"After I ran away, I went by Skylar Wolfe. People always want your full name. I
don't have one. We should find out."
Felicity nodded rolling onto her side. Life was finally beginning and she
couldn't wait to live it.
***** Chapter 10: Welcome To Potter Manor *****

Author's notes: Craziness as always
===============================================================================
Chapter 10: Welcome to Potter Manor
Harry laid the law down the next morning at breakfast. There would be no more
pranks, no exceptions. He explained the reasons to the household and they
seemed to understand. Yes, they just wanted to have fun, but it was getting out
of control.
The DuCanes were to arrive at 10 and so would Rebekkah and Steve. Oh his life
was far too complicated. He closed himself in his study needing a break, but it
was short lived as someone knocked on the door.
"Enter."
It was Felicity and Skylar, the boy looking rather nervous. Harry didn't blame
him.
"I know the bond is complete, congratulations. No I don't spy, I have a list
that changes every time a bond is completed. It makes record keeping a little
easier."
"Oh I didn't know that. Could you do a linage thing? I can't remember what it's
called." Felicity asked
Harry nodded and set everything up. He would let them watch the page as he
tried to collect himself. The triad would start traveling after New Years to
start setting up alliances with muggle and Wizarding governments alike. It was
a major undertaking and Harry wanted it done in 6 months. He hoped all went
well.
"Harry, I need you to look at this. I think we have a problem." Felicity said
urgently
Harry looked down at the page and cursed. This need to be taken care of quickly
and as quietly as possible. Picking up his phone he dialed Draco and quickly
explained what was going on. Draco was on his way.
"Skylar talk to me?"
Harry sat down beside the boy and wrapped an arm around him. He was silent,
that was never a good thing.
"I doubt he even knew. I'm in shock, I'm not angry. I have Evie now. I have a
family here. I'm ok."
Harry looked at his sister funny making her smile.
"He is the only one allowed to call me Evie. You can't really shorten Felicity,
but Evelyn you can."
"Fair enough. Like the only ones allowed to call Draco, Dray are me and Ginny?"
"Exactly. Like Im the only one who can call him Sky. Oh what a beautiful mess.
Does uncle Gibbs have a phone?"
"Yes why?"
"I want to call him and set up my testing. I want to test out."
Harry handed her his phone she she could get the number. He never thought that
Gibbs would become a member of his household, but he was happy he was.
"Harry. Thank you." Skylar said softly
"What for?"
"Just everything. Your like the dad I've always wanted. I'm really happy I'm
here. I love each and everyone of you. I'm just so thankful I'm not alone."
Harry hugged the boy tightly as Draco came into the office followed by Nehemiah
and Narcissa. Without a word, Skylar handed the page of parchment to Nehemiah
and waited.
"Your my son." Nehemiah said softly "I had no idea. Merlin I have a son."
Nehemiah sat down heavily as he processed. Oh this was not happening. His
brother was going to have a hissy fit. He wanted the family to except him for
who he was, but maybe he was having them come for the wrong reasons.
"I think I have my priorities all messed up." Nehemiah said softly "All my life
I've been looking for their approval. I wanted them to except who I am and not
think of me as a monster. My elder brother is going to have a fit as well as my
uncle. But I don't really care. I'm building a family here. My true family is
here. Skylar, will you let me be your father? Can we try this?"
"Slightly late for that Dad. I would like to introduce you to my mate,
Felicity. I've been on my own 10 years. But we can try. Evie, our last name is
DuCane."
"So I gathered. Oh it's going to be a very long day. Now so much for just
lounging around today. Come help me find something to wear."
"Why me?"
"Why not you?"
Harry covered his smile with his hand as Skylar rolled his eyes following her
from the room. He then looked over at Nehemiah and crossed his arms.
"You should know by now that the only person you need to please is yourself.
He's a really good kid and Felicity is my sister. Don't hurt one of my cubs."
"I'm going to follow his lead. Get to know him. I'm not wearing this suit. I
want jeans."
"I'll see you shortly then. Skylar looks like you, exactly like you."
Nehemiah nodded and led Narcissa out of the room. Yes it was going to be a very
long day.
***
Felicity smirked as the bedroom door shut and she led Skylar into the bathroom.
They hadn't even showered yet and they had about an hour before the DuCanes
arrived.
"What are we doing?"
"Having a quick shower." Felicity said as she pulled his tee shirt over his
head
Skylar smiled as he pulled her closer, pulling her sweatshirt off. There was
nothing underneath and skin met skin.
"You drive me half mad you know." He said softly
"That's the point. We don't have a lot of time and I want you badly."
Skylar smirked as pajama pants hit the floor and they stepped into the shower.
Without hesitation her lifted her and pinned her to the shower wall.
"I was starting to wonder how this was going to work." Felicity laughed
"Listen in on a few of Thomas and Luca's conversations. I've learned a lot
listening to them."
"Perhaps I should thank them."
In one move he entered her, making her moan.
"Love, then that would be telling."
As he started to move he knew it wasn't going to last long. This would qualify
as a quick fuck, the thought was unsettling. In less then 10 minutes they were
cumming hard.
"Shit. We need to hurry up."
"I don't think I like the thought of a quick fuck Evie. Not our second time."
"I know, but I wanted you. I can't seem to get enough."
She kissed him deeply as he slipped from her, wanting all over again. But
instead, he set her down so they could hurry thru their shower. She still had
no idea what she was going to wear.
***
45 minutes later they were standing in the foyer waiting for the DuCanes to
arrive. Felicity had ended up in a black pair if flair leg pants and an emerald
green turtleneck. With a pair of all black converse. She had had time to curl
her hair and do her make up, much to Skylar's delight. He loved it when she
really got dressed.
Skylar was dressed much like his father, jeans, a blue button down and a navy
sweater. The only difference was that Skylar was wearing sneakers and Nehemiah
was wearing boots. They were both nervous and sat talking. Felicity and
Narcissa both hoped this went well.
Nehemiah acted on impulse and hugged Skylar tightly as a knock sounded at the
door. It was a rule that no one answered unless told to. Harry answered the
door, always.
Narcissa took her place at Nehemiah's side as Felicity stood beside Skylar.
This was it. Harry greeted his guest warmly, acting within protocol. Nehemiah
could tell that his family was impressed.
"Hezekiah, Isaiah, welcome."
"Nehemiah. You look well. Time has done you justice. And who have we here?"
Isaiah said stiffly
"This is Narcissa Black, my mate. This is my son Skylar and his mate Felicity.
This is my uncle Isaiah and my elder half brother Hezekiah. Conner, buddy,
where's the fire?"
"Papa just got hit with the last prank. It's beautiful, was a masterpiece. But
I'm in so much trouble. Nana, help."
"Oh no. You dug in, deal with it. Didn't dad help you with this one?"
"Mum too. Dad! Here he comes! Quick, hide me!"
Conner hid behind Harry's legs as Draco came around the corner. He was dressed
like a muggle clown.
"Oh Draco I love you but pay back is so very sweet." Ginny said from the top of
the stairs
"Felicity will you please undo this? Ginny won't and Harry is laughing too
hard." Draco said far too calmly
"I can't. I already tried. I can't undo Harry's magic." Felicity laughed
"Harry. Now."
Harry sobered enough to remove all the charms then started laughing again.
Conner peeked from behind Harry's legs and smirked.
"You!"
"My idea. They did the magic. My room has a bed in it. All my toys are gone.
Papa, Im just the master mind. Didn't we team up just yesterday?"
Draco sighed and realized the boy was right. Their guest didn't look very
amused. Draco just smirked as he crossed his arms.
"Last one?"
"Until Hogwarts, yes. Daddy said so. Can I have an apple and peanut butter?"
"Yes. Come on."
Conner took Draco's hand and started to walk away. Then he stopped, turning to
Narcissa.
"Mum, dad is in need of your help. Kellen is all out of sorts."
"Alright. Nehemiah, I'm going to get Kellen. I will be right back. I swear,
people hear colic and panic. It's not that hard to deal with. Excuse me."
Narcissa hurried in the direction of the Malfoy room. Nehemiah just shook his
head.
"Nehemiah, why don't you take them to my study. There will be more privacy
there. Felicity, call me if you need anything. Wilber is at your disposal."
"Thank you. Will you please follow me? Cass, we are going to head to Harry's
office."
Narcissa nodded as she gently rubbed the screaming child's back. She was
fantastic at what she did. Maybe she'd be interested in over seeing the new
house? He'd have to ask.
"I will be there shortly. He's getting there."
Nehemiah nodded and led them to Harry's office. Felicity called Wilbur for
refreshments as everyone sat down.
"Would you like your iced coffee dear?"
"That would be fantastic. Thank you."
Wilbur was gone without another word. The DuCanes didn't seem pleased with
Wilbur.
"He should be replaced. He'd rather old. Glasses on a house elf." Isaiah
sneered
"My brother is rather fond of him. Wilbur handles everything. He's quite
amazing."
"Why thank you Felicity. Vanilla iced coffee your favorite cup. Same for you
Skylar. How is your wrist? You sprained it last week."
"Better. Emilie was pissed we have another big one New Year's Eve. I have a
brace I have to wear while doing stunts, Harry's orders."
"Good. Just call if you need anything. Emilie asked me to proof her new book."
Felicity giggled as the elf popped out. It was then that Narcissa came back
into the room, Lucius behind her.
"Lucius Malfoy, as I live and breath!" Isaiah smiled "What are you doing here?"
"I finally escaped from Dumbledore. Voldemort was a walk in the park compared
to that monster."
Lucius sat in Harry's desk chair and sighed. He was exhausted.
"Albus Dumbledore is a genius. Not a monster. How dare you speak ill of him."
"Isaiah, he is the reason you lost Melody. He is the reason Nehemiah was born.
He told me about you."
"What are you talking about?"
Lucius leaned forward as Harry and Draco came into the room. Lucius quickly
vacated Harry's chair and went to stand beside his son. Isaiah was confused and
angry.
"Albus Dumbledore is sitting in Azkaban. I'll play the disk for you, well
Dudley will. I did forget one thing when you entered my home, I did not
introduce myself."
"I have no interest in a child."
Harry stood and crossed to where Isaiah now stood. Extending his hand he waited
until the other man took it, then smirked. The mans eyes went wide as Harry
read him, getting all the information he needed.
"I am Harrison Malfoy-Potter, The Heir of All. Level 1 master in defense and
potions. Healer. Auror. Lawyer. Headmaster at Hogwarts. I killed Lord
Voldemort. I locked Albus Dumbledore away and I will destroy him as well. I'd
say I'm pleased to meet you but I've been listening to the conversation. It's
time you realize when your wrong. Have a seat."
Isaiah sat back down in shock. He didn't even realize who's house he had been
in. Harry then handed him a book and pointed to a passage, it was about his
sister. There was silence all around him as he read, rage written all over his
face. He had been blaming the wrong person for almost 40 years, Dumbledore was
the reason his sister had died.
"Nehemiah, I'm sorry. It wasn't your fault. Your just the result of madness.
I've known Albus for 60 years and I would've never thought this of him. I had
that man in my home in August. I've been helping a mad man. He use to bring a
boy with him.-"
"Maverick?" Harry asked
Thomas stepped forward and stood at Harry's side. Isaiah's eyes went wide as
the boys wrapped their arms around each other.
"Thomas is my little brother. I think we should move this up to the TV room.
You have alot to learn. Then you can decide if you'd like to stay or not."
Harry sent Dudley a text message and led everyone up stairs. Hezekiah was
confused and finally voiced it.
"My head is spinning. Will someone break this down for me?"
"Felicity and Thomas are my siblings. Narcissa was married to Lucius, Draco and
Paige are their children. I am at the head of a triad, Draco is my husband,
Ginny is my wife she's helping with lunch. We, the triad, have custody of
Paige. When Cassi died last year- "
"She's dead."
"On paper. The Powers keep gifting people back to us. My parents and godfather
are back as well."
"Oh wow." Hezekiah said softly
"Quite. Speaking of, Dray tell Ginny we are going to Greece after Christmas. I
need to speak with The Powers. Lucius has a mate. Nehemiah was gifted with
Narcissa. It's hard for me not to get confused and I live here."
Hezekiah turned to his brother and sighed.
"Levi, I was wrong. Can we start over?"
"Yes Zek, we can. But I'm going to stay here. My family is here."
The door slammed open reviling Remus, he was out of breath. Harry could tell
something was very wrong.
"Papa?"
"Grayback and his pack are at the gets. The pack is port keying in as we speak.
I want to make a statement. I need you. Thomas where are you going?!
Felicity?!"
"Lets go. Ginny's on her way to the foyer. Lucius, Nehemiah I want you up
front. I hold more power here. Where's Dad, Dad, Mum, and Sirius?"
"Waiting for us."
Harry nodded as they quickly made their way to join everyone else. When Harry
opened the front doors and led them out, he saw Graybacks pack realize they had
made a mistake. They should not have come here.
Thomas and the ones who came with him were running flat out towards the gates.
They were shouting and Grayback stopped trying to get thru. In his hand was a
stack of letters and Harry understood all at once that Grayback had been
requested.
"Harry let them out. Nothing's going to happen. They sent for him." Remus said
softly
Harry nodded and Grayback tripped forward as the gates opened. Thomas got to
him first, hugging the old wolf tightly. The others waited their turn, hugging
other members of the pack. It was really very touching, even if it was
Grayback.
The triad and the alphas broke from the rest of the pack 100 feet from the gate
and walked forward.
"Grayback, why are you here?"
"I was asked to come. I would like to talk to the Alpha of this pack."
Harry nodded as Remus stepped forward, standing tall and proud. He wasn't a
terrified 5 year old boy anymore, he wasn't an angry teenager, he was a man.
This was his pack, his family.
"Remus."
"Fernir. What do you want?"
"Just to see them. Spend some time with them. They write often, I can never
reply. You look well."
"I am. You look like shit."
Grayback laughed as he hugged another young wolf. They smelt different, but the
looked well. They were healthy, warm and cared for. Grayback was satisfied.
"Your tame."
"If you want to call it tame then yes. Harry is my brother by blood. I belong
here. Helena and I have all the little wolves, even those recently born. Remus
and Severus adopted Helena, she is my wife."
"Who's Helena?"
Helena stepped forward and extended her hand, Grayback shook it more then a
little shocked. She was breathtaking.
"Thomas has told me all about you and the pack. Thank you for taking care of
them."
"They are wolves. I couldn't leave them. Your sent is attached to his letters.
I almost know you."
"I could have you flat on your ass in 10 seconds, even in heels. Rethink what
you think you may know."
"Yes mistress."
Grayback looked down at the snow. He had no idea what to do now. It was Luca
that stepped forward then, standing tall beside Remus. Graybacks head snapped
up and he just starred.
"I thought you were myth!"
"I'm more wolf then even you are." Luca said softly "What is it that you need
Grayback?"
"Remus, do you know who this is?"
"Luca, my grandson. He's mated to Harry's eldest Emilie."
"No, he is The ALPHA. He needs training. It's like being King of Wolves!"
"Luca, we have had this discussion." Remus smirked
Luca shrugged and shook his head.
"What are we doing because its freezing out here." Harry said
Grayback walked forward Thomas at his side. He then knelt at Remus' and Luca's
feet, bowing his head. Shock ran thru the pack and Harry couldn't help but take
a picture. He really wanted to remember this. He then sent out several text
messages, he needed terms.
"We will remain neutral. I don't know if I can be tamed however." Grayback said
"The pack has agreed. We are getting sick of fighting a war that isn't ours.
Dumbledore truly is a madman. What he did to them all even made me sick. I can
not stand by while he does it again."
"Where will you go?" Remus asked
"I have a manor in Russia. They can remain neutral yet remain under my
protection. I won't let Dumbledore find them. I'm going to have him give Luca
an Unbreakable Vow however. It's an insurance policy, you understand."
"I can do that. I wouldn't be loyal to him, just to you. What is that noise?"
Emilie looked up and smirked. She was calling a meeting.
"We have a big one New Year's Eve and I have an idea. Now would be a good time
to run, everyone has to change yet. The only ones allowed to be late are Luca
and Thomas."
Emilie then port keyed back into the house, leaving everyone to stare at where
she had been standing. Helena ran forward and turned her back to Thomas.
Quickly he unlaced her corset and found it and her boots in his hands before
she took off at a run towards the house.
"It's not just shoes anymore." Thomas laughed "Here Papa, you can have these.
Unbreakable Vow Harry then I need your help with a pass I can't land."
"Which one?"
"The one Gin had a hard time with."
"That one. Alright."
Harry watched as Remus put his hand down to help Grayback to his feet. The rest
of the pack came thru the gate to join them making Harry nervous.
"This house is full of children. Touch any of them and I will kill you myself.
12 of them are mine. Luca, please."
Luca stepped forward and took Graybacks hand. The vow would encompass the
entire pack and result an sudden death if broken. Most of them had fought for
their lives, they weren't going to forfeit them.
After the vow took hold, Luca, Thomas, and Harry emptied their pockets and
practiced the tumbling pass as they went up the drive. Garyback smirked as
Thomas fell on his ass for the 5th time.
"What the fuck?!"
Harry shook his head as Luca took lead on this one. Just like Ginny, he was
over rotating. Luca was more patient then Harry and by the time they reached
the steps, Thomas finally got it.
"That's it you got it!" Luca laughed
Thomas smiled self satisfied as Harry put his arm around his shoulders.
Grayback nodded to himself, his little wolf had grown up and found a place to
belong. He was proud.
"You have dance practice." Harry smirked
"Yes. But because I can be late I'm going to kiss my kids."
Thomas then slung his arm around luca's shoulders and they went up steps.
"Yours in there?"
"Yes. Social interaction is important. That's why Lena brings them here.
Apparently we have all read the same parenting books."
Thomas just laughed. Grayback was trying to figure everything out. Then he saw
her waiting by the stairs.
"Felicity!" He exclaimed
"Abo! It's too cold for me out there! I waited here! I missed you!"
Harry was once again left speechless as Felicity ran to the wolf and hugged him
tightly.
"I thought he killed you."
"I'm not one of your wolves abo."
"No. But you were still an innocent used and tossed aside. I couldn't stand it.
I need to talk to this lot. I do have a heart."
"Somewhere in there. I'm late for dance. Put me down."
Grayback set her on her feet and sighed.
"This is Skylar. I'm his mate."
Skylar held out his hand and shook Graybacks.
"Hurt her and I will kill you."
Skylar nodded and took several steps back. He just realized who he was standing
in front of. Where the hell was his Dad?
"Dad?"
Neamaiah came forward and stood beside Skylar. The boy then hid behind him
trying to breath.
"Brave that one." Grayback smirked
"He has his moments and you have a reputation. We are going to have to do laps
as it is."
"Right. Emi is a stave driver."
Felicity nodded and held our her hand for Skylar. Grayback watched as they
walked away, satisfied. Harry then led them deeper into the house. They passed
the playroom and Grayback just stopped and stared. Little wolves everywhere,
they were loved, cared for, and perfect. Maddox caught sight of Remus and
rushed to the gate.
"Pa! Up!"
"Maddox you are meant to be playing."
Remus picked the boy up and was gifted with a full body hug. The boy then sat
up and looked at Grayback. Maddox being an empath he didn't trust easily. He
was very guarded and kept to himself. Grayback just starred back.
Then something surprising happened. Maddox shifted and reached out for the old
wolf. Remus gave a nod and allowed Grayback to hold the boy.
"He's an empath. This is very odd." Remus said softly
"I'm not going to hurt him."
"The trick is getting him to go back and play now. Hey Harper, Braylee."
"Papa? Eat?" Harper asked
Remus smiled as he bent down. He loved being a father. He loved his kids.
"Almost. Where's your brother?"
"Blocks." Braylee giggled
Remus looked up and found the missing child. He was stacking blocks all by
himself.
"Go play with your brother. I'll come get you in a little while. Harry Laila
has spotted you."
Harry sighed as Laila appeared at the gate and smiled at him. They starred at
each other, Laila knowing he wouldn't pick her up unless she asked.
"Daddy, up peeas."
Harry picked her up and she giggled as she hugged him tight.
"Daddy's girl. Lets get everyone cleaned up. Lunch is shortly. Eli will be down
short to help with exams. We also need you all to register. Are you going to
merge?"
Grayback nodded as Maddox gifted him with a full body hug. He made the right
choice. It was the first time in his life he could honestly say that.
***
At lunch Grayback told his story. He told them everything about his past. How
he had come into Dumbledores service, about the things that he had been told to
do. Then he told them about the camps and what happened inside the grounds. He
too had been used as a stud and didn't even know if he had any children. He
told them about his pack coming in after everyone has either passed out or
left. They would clean everyone up and put them back together.
By nap time Maddox was was sound asleep on Grayback lap and the man looking
like he was about to join him. Everyone went in different directions as they
put kids down for naps. It was the best time to get alone time, it was also
quiet too.
"You still need my help?" Draco asked Harry as they headed down the stairs
Harry nodded, Ginny was dancing getting ready for whatever Emilie signed them
up for. So he lead Draco to his study and locked the door. He hadn't been alone
with Draco in weeks and needed to very badly. Without a word, Harry picked up
the small bag on his desk and took Draco in his arms. They were gone.
They arrived in Greece seconds later, Draco very confused. It wasn't like Harry
to do anything like this, ever.
"I explained it to gin this morning. She knows where we are. I getting
frustrated. So much so that I'm starting to walk around half hard. I want you
badly, anyway I can."
Draco smirked as he was kissed hard, raw need slapping him in the face. Second
later he found himself naked and pinned to the nearest wall.
"In the room. On the bed." Draco whispered
Harry moved them as he kissed Draco again. Wondering what his husband had in
mind. The bag was still in his hand as he sat down on the bed. Draco pushed him
back as he began to kiss down Harry's body. He smirked as he set the bag by his
thigh. He wanted everything and anything at this point.
When Draco knelt on the floor, charms washed over them both as Draco picked up
the bag already knowing what was inside. With a smirk, Draco slicked his
fingers and pushed Harry's knees back as he kissed the base of his cock.
"Fuck!" Harry cursed loudly as fingers slid into him
"Not yet, soon." Draco said softly
Harry pushed back, needing more. When Draco's mouth engulfed his cock he
moaned, grabbing hold of the sheets to keep himself still. Then Draco removed
his fingers and inserted the toy.
"Damn it! Dray," Harry panted
Draco pulled back, pulling Harry up with him. He wanted to watch Harry get
himself off. Draco then climbed onto the bed behind him, sitting on his knees.
Harry leaned into him, panting.
"You won't be heard love. I love it when you get vocal. So incredibly hot,
watching you. Touching you as you ride it. Teasing you." Draco whispered
Harry closed his eyes and let go as Draco bit the spot between his neck and
shoulder. He went faster as finger nails ran up his thighs, them up his
stomach, till his nipples were being rolled. He wanted Draco's mouth, wanted to
be kissed so he turned his head. Draco answered him, kissing him deeply and
fiercely.
"I'm almost there. God! Fuck! Don't stop touching me! Dray!"
Draco complied as Harry picked up his pace again.
"Cum for me my love. Without a touch."
"I want your cock." Harry moaned
"Cum my love and I will take you from behind so I can watch you fuck yourself.
Feel it?"
Draco shifted his hips into Harry's back so he could feel how hard Draco was.
Harry moaned loudly, holding into Draco's thighs.
"Im waiting for you."
Harry nearly sobbed, then shouted Draco's name as he came hard all over
himself. Draco turned the toy off and wrapped his arms around Harry as he
caught his breath.
"Later, I want to suck you off then I want you to ride me. Right in the
doorway. I don't care who sees."
Harry moaned as he was kissed again. When they shifted around Harry was turned
on again as Draco used his cum as the lube to fuck him with. When Draco entered
him, he hit his prostate making him cry out. The pace was fast and hard and
Harry loved every minute. When they came, they fell bonelessly to the bed,
trying to catch their breath.
"If they all only knew how much I love having you inside me." Harry whispered
"I know what you mean. You came love, but your still hard."
"That's what's driving me insane. It's starting to hurt."
Draco crawled around in front of Harry and backed himself up. Harry moaned as
Draco's ass nudged his cock.
"I could do this all day dray. I don't want to hurt you."
"Use the charm. Ginny will be here shortly. I know what we have to do. It's
been awhile since I've had you."
Harry kissed Draco shoulder as he arranged him. He was going to end up fucking
him till he was sore, it didn't sound pleasant. As he pushed in, Draco pushed
back as he moaned into the pillow he was holding. Harry stopped and cast
another charm, holding Draco to him. He was tight, very tight, he hadn't been
in him in weeks. He hadn't thought first.
"Im sorry." Harry whispered
"I'm ok, it's been awhile. You feel so good, I've missed you. Just hold me
love. Go slowly. Make it last. Make love to me."
Harry nodded as Draco laced their fingers together. They hadn't really made
love in awhile either. When Draco nodded he started to move. Draco moaned
softly, as Harry held him cuddling deeper into his arms.
"Heaven. I've missed this. I've missed you loving me just like this." Draco
said softly "I love you."
"I love you."
Nothing more was said as they loved each other, Draco helping Harry with the
angle, moving with him. Neither noticed when Ginny arrived and went straight to
the shower. They were slowly building climax, no where near there.
When she came out of the bathroom, she was hit with a drying charm before
climbing in beside Draco. She kissed him, making him moan. He wasn't ready to
give Harry up yet, and clenched.
"Fuck. Don't do that. Gin,"
Ginny smiled as she leaned into kiss him. When she pulled back she lay back
down, as close as she could get. Draco smiled and tossed the pillow aside so he
could pull her in.
They switched around without breaking apart so Draco could enter Ginny. Unlike
all the other times, they went slowly. Everything was slightly disconnected and
the love making is what they need to make it whole again.
As climax approached they picked up the pace as their magic answered the call.
When they came, they were encompassed in a white light. They urgently switched
around.
The magic needing to be answered set the pace. Fast and hard. As they came, the
villa shook and the light flashed blindingly.
They lay there, a tangle of flesh, trying to catch their breath. As soon as he
was able, Harry started running scans. What he found shocked him. The magic
didn't have to be answered anymore, their magic had merged as one.
"Now we are truly complete. We need to be careful with spell cast." Harry said
softly
"Our magic merged?" Draco asked
"Yes."
Draco moved so he could lay beside Ginny. They needed to do everything together
now.
