Chapter 10
Early the next morning, Remus was awake before the other two, watching the sun out of the window as he had an arm draped over Harry. He always rose before Sirius and Harry for various reasons, so being awake earlier than the other two wasn't odd. Usually, he eased out of bed and went to tend to not only making breakfast, but sorting whatever mail had come in and anything else which needed attention. This morning was odd in that he was content to just lay here with the two and not make a move to slip out of bed. A glance at the clock told him it would probably be a couple more hours before they woke, so he would have time to tend to his normal routine before they did.
Like normal, he was on one side of the bed with Sirius on the other and Harry in the middle. This was the standard since shortly after Harry turned sixteen and they thought nothing of it anymore. Glancing up at the ceiling, he chuckled at the curtains on the skylight there. While they all loved the skylight and how it brightened up the room, Harry and Sirius took exception to the bright light which streamed in first thing in the morning. In fact, both had snarled loudly the first couple of mornings, so they had come up with curtains, of a sort, for it. He actually rather liked it and found waking up to a nicely naturally lit room pleasing. However, as the two were not morning people, he bowed to the majority and just settled for the light from the window. It was plenty pleasant for him.When he felt Harry shift in his sleep, pressing tighter to him, he gave him a gentle squeeze then leaned down and kissed him on top of the head, smiling as he did because Harry draped an arm over him and held him close. It always felt good to feel the affection from the other two in the relationship since he really hadn't felt it much over his life other than from his parents. Oh, he'd had friends, especially in school, but no one close like these two were.One of the first areas Harry had to grow accustomed to after they spirited him away was the relationship between himself and Sirius. It had started back in school as something more than friends as they grew up, progressing to the area of sexual over the last two years at Hogwarts. Though it hadn't been a serious commitment or monogamous, it had been there. They were close friends and they both thought, given the chance, it would grow into something more. Even after graduation, it had continued on, growing closer, though they both dated others. Sirius, of course, with all his charm, bad boy image and good looks never lacked for dates or partners of either sex. He had dated a few, though it hadn't progressed beyond one or two times. The two of them—well, they seemed to gravitate towards each other no matter who else was in their lives at the time. There was just something between them which fit better, though neither knew why. Then came the mess.The whole time Sirius was in prison, though he dated a few, he didn't have another sexual tryst. In fact, Sirius was his first and only sexual partner. He could have, of course, and had the opportunity, but never did. Though he didn't think of it as 'saving himself' for Sirius or cheating on him as there was no defined relationship beyond the casual one there, it just didn't feel right to him. After taking Harry, the relationship picked back up and it did become defined as a partnership, one they would formalize when they had the chance. It was something they planned for.Like so much else which came from the life changing event of being with them, Harry accepted it without question. It was probably far easier to accept than so much else Harry had over his life. Though they were partners, they weren't his parents and didn't try to step into that role. While still in the UK as Sirius shifted money around and tended to plenty, they had a few long talks while Harry slept at night. They decided though Harry obviously needed guidance, them as parental figures probably wasn't wise. Instead, they decided more the mentor or friend type relationship. It would fulfill what they wanted without having to struggle to form the other type. As it was, they had plenty to deal with, on many ends, they didn't need to try to take the parental role on when they could affect the same change another way. Now they were thankful they had chosen that direction.While they all knew challenges were coming in so many areas, there were others which presented themselves they hadn't count on. Harry had plenty of issues, of course, but Sirius did as well. Because of his long-term exposure to the Dementors coupled with being on the run, and the stress from it, he had major problems. In fact, he and Harry had faced the end of his wand more than once if they woke him too suddenly or startled him. It took plenty of time for Sirius to relax and calm down so it didn't affect him so much. Then there were nightmares about all that had gone on. To this day, Sirius still had plenty. Sadly, so did Harry over so much. Harry's weren't as bad, of course, but they were there. It took time, lots of it, for them both to relax.Once they were in South America and had a better feel for what they needed to do to stay safe, they finally started to relax. Though there was a furor in Europe over Harry's vanishing act and Sirius still being wanted, it hadn't reached the other side of the pond. It may have ended up mentioned in the States, but not where they were. They stuck to the bigger cities where they could blend in and not end up noticed as more than a typical tourist. It was then the healing and building a life started. While they hopped around a lot until Sirius was cleared, they were happy together. The relationships were either building, in the case with Harry, or reconnecting, in the case of him and Sirius. It took time, but it finally settled into something they all liked. Harry could be a typical teenager while he and Sirius formed a partnership they both adored.Over the years that followed, they moved around quite a bit, especially after Sirius was cleared and he wasn’t in danger of someone recognizing him. They still worried about Harry, of course, so they disguised him, but they felt safer. Thankfully, Harry responded to what they were doing and was growing out of what had been instilled in him for so long, shrugging off so much and becoming who James and Lily would have wanted him to grow up as. It wasn't easy on their part to undo so much, but they had as they made a life together.It was during this time, as Harry was about to turn sixteen and they were hearing about Voldemort returning, they began to worry about other areas. They knew by then plenty were starting to scour the world for Harry. Albus, of course, was at the top of the list for this. They all realized if it grew worse in the UK, they probably needed to worry more about people looking for them then what they had done coming to light. If it did, as the statute hadn't run out on the crimes which could be laid on them, he and Sirius could be facing serious jail time over it and most places would extradite them to the UK. It was then they began to look for a solution to protect all of them.While adoption was mentioned, it was quickly discounted as not only was it impossible to do without revealing who Harry really was, but would offer no protection. As they had, in the eyes of the law, kidnapped Harry, the adoption would end up voided because of the crime. No, it wasn't the solution. At the start of summer, they were in Russia for a time, attending a festival they heard about. While they used disguises, as always, they ended up having a small fright when they ran into a family from the UK who were there for the same reason they were. In fact, they were people he and Sirius knew from school. While the parents didn't recognize them, it was enough to drive the point home, after they talked about some news from the UK when they learned the three of them were British, mentioning the hunt for Harry. Yes, they needed something to protect all of them and go back to hiding in places it was unlikely they would run into anyone who would either have come from the UK or know them if they were.By the he end of that summer, Harry was well on the road to being what he was now, though not completely there yet. He was far more comfortable with himself and confident of so much. Because of the need to hide and stay wary, the three of them were probably closer than any family out there since they really couldn't allow any strangers close, so they knew each other well. The year before the trip to Russia, Harry, as adolescence hit, realized he was gay. Unlike so many, he was able to admit to himself and them, both, without the anxiety or problems. After all, he and Sirius were a couple, so Harry being gay didn't disturb them in the least. They had accepted it and moved on. It was during the summer in Russia it came into play more.As far as he and Sirius knew, Harry didn't have a lover yet. Though they wanted Harry to go out and enjoy himself like others did, they had to stay wary of so much that he really couldn't. They were sure the hormones were raging and could see the looks Harry gave some, but didn't say anything. During this time, as they were all in somewhat of a panic over what could have come if the couple from the UK had recognized them, they began to try to find the best solution for protecting all of them. Though they stayed in Russia, they moved to one of the resort towns in the southern part to relax, or try to anyway, as they were all tense.During this small vacation, they were trying to decide where they were going to go next. They had decided they had enough of South America for a while and wanted to go elsewhere for a time. While they all liked the idea of the States, they were too wary. The States had a better communication system than most other countries and information was passed far more quickly. Until they could find a way to protect all of them, they weren't going to chance it.After Harry's birthday, as they decided to go to Singapore for a while, it was Harry who hit on the solution; the bonding. He had overheard some people in the hotel they were staying in discussing it then brought it up. While it was the perfect solution as it would protect all of them and they couldn't be separated or get information out of Harry, he and Sirius didn't want to go that route. It would sentence Harry to never having a chance at finding a partner of his own. However, Harry pressed for it, hard. In fact, he argued with them plenty over it. While he admitted it wasn't because of an attraction of that sort, he wanted to do the bonding to protect all of them. He and Sirius, though, were reluctant despite the fact it was the solution they needed and would solve several other problems, such as being able to change Harry's last name.As August dragged on while they prepared to leave, they worried the topic plenty, with Harry insisting. Each day they had a discussion about it, laying out everything and making Harry try to see it their way. This is where Harry's stubborn streak came into play and his independence with so much. Rather than accept what they said, he dug his heels in and laid out for them his reasons. Finally, he and Sirius conceded it was the way to go, despite the reluctance.The day before they left Russia, they bonded in Sochi. As the city was big enough because it was a resort, they assumed it was safe. To ensure it was hidden, Sirius paid a rather large bribe to the official who did the ceremony to keep the paperwork hidden. They also decided to change Harry's last name. While it wouldn't be much protection if they met anyone they knew as anyone would be able to guess who Harry was, it worked fine for everyone else. Most would just assume Harry was their son by adoption or something.When they arrived in Singapore, their new life had begun. Unlike most bonded couples, they didn't have a 'honeymoon' and jump into something sexual with both feet. No, they decided to ease into that part of the relationship slowly and allow Harry to grow comfortable. While Harry knew them quite well as they were together constantly since they took him, the dynamics of the relationships shifted. By the time they arrived in California right before Harry turned 17, it had made it there. Frankly, though he and Sirius were reluctant to do the bonding, the three of them were happy. Harry added a dimension to the relationship they adored and it was wonderful. They hadn't looked back since.Yes, that was the biggest issue they had to deal with, but not the only one. Once in California, they had to deal with the next; Harry's scar. All along they had used disguises, glamours and actual makeup to hide the most distinguishing feature on Harry. As they were living in one of the biggest hubs of plastic surgery in the world, both Muggle and Magical, they decided to get rid of it. While they did get rid of it, the doctor found the Horcrux while doing so. Thankfully the States had plenty of very rigid laws about confidentiality. As Harry was 17 when the surgery was done and considered a legal adult, there weren't too many questions. When they were told, they just left it at it was a curse which happened when Harry was small. The Healer didn't ask too many questions, just assuring them he removed it. After the surgery, they finally all began to relax on many topics. While they had close calls with some from the UK a few times, LA was big enough they didn't worry like they had. Besides, Harry was now legal and the statute was running out. Couple in the bonding and there wasn’t much anyone could do. They were finally safe.A soft smile on his face, Remus gazed down at Harry, stroking two fingers along the side of his face. Harry—while he and Sirius had been quite happy together, Harry made it so much better. They didn't regret the bonding in the least since then. They had pressed on to make a wonderful life together and would continue to do so. Yes, this was perfect. While the three of them all still had issues of sorts about plenty, it was something they dealt with and pressed on from there. They were happy and that was all that mattered in the end.With a sigh, he looked at the time again then chuckled softly, making sure not to disturb the two. It was time to get up and start tending to everything before they woke. While what he always did was a small gesture, it was one he liked. So, after giving Harry another soft kiss on the head, he slipped out of bed to get dressed. He thought he would make something special for brekky this morning. With all the stress, it would be nice for everyone to have a treat they didn't usually partake in. Because he was certain there would be plenty of issues they had to deal with before the day was over.
“That's a lot of crap,” Harry observed as he looked at the mass of papers and letters spread all over the table as he sat down. “How much of it do we have to deal with?”
“All of it,” Remus sighed, sending Harry his normal cappuccino as he worked on brekky. “Mostly it's for Sirius, of course, but we'll need to help some. There are several letters there from the Ministry about the project, something he'll need to tend to this morning.” Then, quietly, he added, “Look at the Prophet. Especially the article from Rita Skeeter. We haven't been revealed yet, but it's only a matter of days now.”Brow furrowed, Harry snagged the Prophet then began to look for the article Remus was talking about as he sipped his cappuccino. He quickly found it, as it was hard to miss with the headline 'The UK Will Have Mobile Phones!' emblazoned there. With a heavy sigh, he began to read. She had found the reclassification papers at the Ministry and learned it was being approved with a license being granted to a company to set up what was needed. While Plato's company, Wizarding Communications, was mentioned, their end wasn't yet.“Yeah, it's only a matter of time before it's announced we're back,” Harry sighed after finishing the article where Rita promised to keep looking into what was coming and where to get them. Then, with a snort, he added, “Only in the UK would they put up with that kind of so-called reporting. Even the gossip columnists in California who cover the celebs don't go about it that way. It's a crappy way to write articles, if you ask me. Nothing like making sure you're the focal point of your own story.”“Very true,” Remus chuckled softly, smiling as he did. “She's always been like this. From what I know, plenty like the 'charm' of it, when it comes to the style. Mostly, it's they like how catty she is when it comes to gossip. She's one—we want to avoid her, Harry. She does the whole simpering sweet whatever when she talks to you, but it's because she wants to distract you while she sticks the knife in your back or gets all the dirt.”“Not talking to anyone in the press, don't care who it is,” Harry told him with a shake of his head as he tossed the paper aside for Sirius to read.“Just stay wary as you don't know who might be one of her sources,” Remus told him, shaking his head.As he sipped his drink, Harry sorted through the letters there. Most were for Sirius and business related. There were a few for Remus as well, though he thought, from the names, they related to the mess going on. One was even from Dumbledore. Yeah, he was avoiding that old man at all costs. There were a couple for him from the States, obviously from his friends there. Pulling those close, he planned to look at them after brekky.“From what I saw in that mess, Sirius is going to need you and your phone for some time this morning,” Remus pressed on, starting to send the first of the dishes to the table. “The Ministry came up with what they want to do about the landlines, so Sirius needs to not only fax the papers to Plato, but get with him about how he wants to go about this mess.”“No problem,” Harry said honestly, picking up his phone from the table and checking the connection on it. He then added, tone distracted, “It might take a bit longer to send as the signal isn't as strong as it was overnight. Probably due to it being business hours.”“Make sure you say something to him about the issue,” Remus told him as he didn't want Sirius snarling because of the slow connection. “Also, have him mention to Plato about sending that—whatever he called it so you have a better connection. We talked about it, but wasn't sure if it was needed.”“It is,” Harry told him, doing what he could to help the signal and checking the standard. “We're a bit too far away to get the full signal and it's the time of day it's busy anyway. Even a signal booster would help here.”“Mention that device as well,” Remus told him softly. “We do need the other, I think. There is too much to do that one of the bits we don't need to worry about is the signal strength and overload.”“Will do,” Harry told him, making a memo on his phone for both.“Did you read any of them from the Ministry?” He then asked Remus, once more eying the mass of letters after putting his phone down.“Some of them,” Remus told him, sending the tea pot over for himself and Sirius. “They are going with the suggestion made of how to wire, thankfully, and not asking for something off the wall. Though they are asking for the Ministry and Hogwarts both being wired first, then branching out to the Magical only communities. No hardship there. It'll just take some planning to make it work. Plato needs to start doing so quickly to get it in place and the proposal for how fast.”“Nothing he can't handle,” Harry said, looking up as the door opened and Sirius came in.After nodding to Sirius and sending more of the food to the table, he added, for both of them, “The ad for the jobs is in the paper as well. It's rather large, how we wanted. They can start taking on hiring today, I would think.”“We're set up for it already,” Sirius said, sipping some tea as he picked up the Prophet to look through what was there and at the ad after he took a seat by Harry. “As we're doing background checks to make damned sure we don't hire anyone affiliated with the other side, it's going to take a bit longer than normal.” Though he rolled his eyes at the article from Rita, he didn't comment then pressed on to looking at the letters waiting for him. There appeared like there was a ton he needed to handle.As he looked through the ones from the Ministry, he told Harry and Remus distractedly, “I'm going to need help from both of you this morning to tend to this mess and help, I think.”“Already planning on it,” Remus told him, sending the last of the food to the table then coming over and taking a seat. “Harry knows as well. We'll do what we can.”“Good, because there is a ton here,” Sirius chuckled, shaking his head.“We'll worry about it after brekky,” Remus told him, starting to dish up the food with a smile. “It can wait until then. After all, Plato is still in bed and won't get on anything until he wakes. Just eat and enjoy before we all get pulled into the business end.”As he piled plenty of food on his plate, Harry asked, “Anything else we need to worry about today or just this end?” He didn't think so, but wanted prepared.“Nothing dramatic, no,” Remus told him as he began to eat. “Some of the catalogs we ordered came in, so you can go through those for movies and whatnot. The one from Honeydukes also arrived. I'm sure we'll want to not only order for ourselves, but the girls as well. Best to get started there as it won't take long for it to arrive. We also have some other bits and bobs related, but not anything too stressful.” Then he eyed the letter from Albus and chuckled, “And I'll take on the one from Albus before either of you say anything. Let's see what he says then we'll plan from there.”“Good, because I do not want to deal with that old man before I have to,” Sirius chuckled, shaking his head, as he read through some of the letters to know what he might have to prepare for. Yeah, there was a ton to take care of here.“I figured,” Remus told him with a smile. “Let me handle it and you worry about the business end. It'll take plenty to get on that anyway, from the looks of it.”“It will,” Sirius grunted, already making a note to get with the head of engineering on some of what the Ministry wanted. The man was already in the country and working on what they needed to do, so he was available.While he didn't like the mass of paperwork and all he had to do, Sirius realized it was better than focusing on how bad this could end up once everyone knew they were back. It at least kept them distracted. And distracted was good until they were forced to deal with the mess. He would go with it and press on, all he could do.
