Chapter 14
Severus paced the library as Tom was putting books away, Lucius, Remus, Sirius, and Fenrir all sitting comfortably in chairs watching as the Potions Master stalk along the room, his robes billowing. “For the love of the Moon Mother sit down.” The wolf growled, “you are making my skin itch just watching you. Why have you called us here? And why can’t Harry be here, this concerns him.”
“We can’t have him here because he is serving his other purpose going with my wife to the Ministry then walking around Diagon Alley going school shopping, pretending to be normal and ensuring that the Malfoys have a good name.” Lucius said, “but you do have a point, Severus will you tell us what is wrong?”
Severus sighed, “we have an oprotunity….one I think we should take. But we have to tread carefully. I just had my nightly drink and chess game with Minerva and she revealed a bit of information to me that could either help us or could plunge us into a royal shit hole.” Severus turned to look at Tom who was watching him carefully, “Tom, did you at some point meet and date Minerva?”
Tom stiffened his hands poised on a book, “I met Minerva yes, but date? No…her heart belonged to a young Muggle who passed many years ago. I met her and her son, he was a stunning boy, brilliant in magic, filled with it even. Minerva and I began to see each other, I thought it was just friends but with the way her Julian took to me…she thought it might be more, by that point in time I knew that she was mixing her feelings for me. Then she started working at Hogwarts and it all just went down hill from there, but then something happened, I heard that Julian was killed…and that I was blamed for it…Dumbledore called him my first victim.” Tom finished quietly.
“Minerva had a son?” Remus asked softly, “I never knew that.”
“Me neither.”
“How can you use this information?” Fenrir asked gruffly, “would you use a grieving mother’s child against her to gain an advantage?”
“No!” Severus cried, “that’s sick, even by my standards and I have stood guts deep in some pretty disgusting things. No I mean that because of what Dumbledore has done to Harry, it goes against everything Minerva is. She is stern but she treats her students, her Lions like children, her children. To find the one she sees as most precious, a child of two of her Lions, those Lions she loved because they brought light back into her life, missing and also that his family is abusing him? And by the man she trusted the most, tell me how did you feel?”
Sirius lowered his eyes, “you have a point there Severus. But what can we do?”
“We change plans, you and Remus will go see her, reassure her that you both are fine. Before I left, she expressed worry over you both as well as Harry. She gave me a letter for Harry, I admit I looked at it before I decided to hand it over to the boy, make sure it was safe, in it she wrote that she was worried about him and prayed that he was safe and was also asking about Remus and Sirius. She loved all of you, all of the Marauders and Lily.”
“She was there at James and Lily’s wedding, she took the place of Lily’s parents who were killed a year before the wedding in a drunk driving accident. Minerva, she was like a grandmother to Lily and she was the one who gave Lily away to James.” Remus turned to look at Sirius, “we need to go see her…or meet up with her somewhere.”
Severus stopped his pacing and a smile slid across his face, “Remus, have I told you lately you are brilliant? I can bring Minerva down to the Three Broomsticks or something and she can see that you are all well, and Harry can use his mirror thing that Sirius gave him to show her that he is safe and well and happy. If we do this…we have a chance of getting more into where we need to be.”
Tom nodded, “that sounds like a sound plan for the moment. Lucius why don’t you and Fenrir go see the boys and fill them in on everything. We will continue to work things out from here, I believe that Fenrir himself would love to see Harry.”
The elder wolf blushed slightly and growled, “watch it leech, I will toss you out a window.”
Lucius shook his head as he stood up, “very well, come Fenrir. I believe that Narcissa and the boys are home by now. I’ll take the letter Severus.” He said holding out his hand.
The two men disaparated with a crack leaving the other men to talk and hammer out their plans. They appeared in the elegant receiving room and walked down the hall to where Narcissa sat with a book in her lap, curled up on a chair. She looked up and smiled, “Welcome home Lucius, Fenrir, what brings you here?”
“It seems we have more information, and a slight change in the plans, where are the boys?”
“Oh, they are out back enjoying a bit of fun. I believe something about settling some scores. Come.” She gracefully got to her feet and lead them out back where the boys were flying about on their brooms and casting spells at one another. “Draco, Harry you come down here this instant!” She barked. The boys dropped down and put their wands away. “What do you two think you are doing?”
“We were just practicing mother. Harry tends to fall off his broom because he can’t cast a spell to save his own ass. Father, Fenrir…I didn’t know you were here.”
Harry grinned as he launched himself at the wolf and hugged him tightly taking in his scent and growling softly. Fenrir smiled as he held his intended close, taking great pride that his little mate just fell into his arms and enjoyed just being held. He nuzzled into the wind tangled mop of hair and growled softly in return, his wolf running circles inside of him at being close to his mate. A cough pulled them away from each other and Harry blushed as three sets of pale eyes watched them.
“Why don’t we go in and talk, the House Elves should have dinner ready soon. Will you be staying the night Fenrir?” Narcissa asked.
Harry’s eyes went wide, “can he? Really?”
Lucius laughed softly as he swept his arm past him, “of course Harry, this is your home as well now, besides we have some new information to share with you all. Come, I can tell you I am particularly famished and could use a nice stiff drink.” He lead the way into the house.
One dinner and one explanation later, Fenrir found himself lounging on Harry’s massive bed as he watched the boy move around the room. His blue eyes tracked his mate and smiled as the boy began to disrobe, he gave off a soft growl of approval and smiled as he saw the blush tint Harry’s tanned skin. “Come to bed Harry, you’re tired.”
Harry dimmed the lights so only the light of the waning moon filled the room with its soft silver light. He crawled into bed and cuddled up with Fenrir sighing softly as he relaxed completely. “I can’t believe Professor McGonagall had a son…I feel so bad for her, everything she went through. I can’t imagine having a child you carried and bore die. I…I think it would kill me.” Harry whispered.
Fenrir cuddled Harry close as he ran his fingers lightly over Harry’s chest and down to circle his fingertips on Harry’s abdomen. “It’s alright little love, that will never happen to you, this war will be over before you know it and any cubs we bring into this world will only know the peace we fought for and they will be safe. No one would dare mess with the Alpha’s pups or the mate of the Alpha, it would be a death wish. Write Minerva back tomorrow, reassure her you are fine, tell her the truth that you are happy and you feel loved in a family who accepts you. During the Mirror call she will be able to tell that you are happy just by looking at your face, you are healthier than you have ever looked, finally getting some fat on you.” Fenrir teased pinching at Harry’s belly playfully.
Harry yelped and batted his hands away, “stop that, you might give me a complex.”
Fenrir chuckled kissed him softly before tucking the boy closer to him. “Yes love, now sleep, I can feel your exhaustion rolling off of you.”
Harry cuddled close, laying his head over the elder wolf’s strong heartbeat. “I love you Fenrir.”
Fenrir smiled and he ran his fingers through the soft dark locks. “I love you too Harry, now sleep.” Fenrir smiled as he felt the smaller wolf turn to liquid and his breathing evened out. Fenrir closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep holding his mate close, offering up a silent prayer for his mate’s safety when the boy went back to school.
~~Three Broomsticks 3 days later~~
Severus sat in a privet room with Remus and a glamoured Sirius as they waited for Minerva. Severus and Remus read their books calmly as Sirius fidgeted until it finally annoyed Severus into snapping his book closed. “If you do not stop fidgeting like a first year I will body-bind you.” The vampire growled.
“I’m nervous, back off. The last time I saw Minerva was before I got sent to Azkaban, in case you don’t remember she is one of the ones who thought I was a killer.” The Animagus growled.
Remus sighed softly, “just relax Siri, Severus knows what he is doing. Please love just relax.”
Sirius sighed softly but then stiffened as a knock sounded at the door. He watched as Severus got up to open the door and Minerva walked in and the Potions Master closed and warded the door. “Thank you for coming Minerva. Tea?”
The elder witch smiled and nodded before looking to the two other men in the room. “Remus, Sirius please drop the glamour. I am elderly not blind.”
Remus chuckled as he canceled the glamour on Sirius before standing up and embracing the witch. “How are you Minerva?”
“Oh, getting by Remus, things have been trying since Harry disappeared. No one could get ahold of you or Sirius and we were worried when we found Grimmauld Place abandoned. What happened?”
“That was my fault Min, I got spotted and had to run, and you know Moony here, he always has to fallow to make sure things are alright.” Sirius offered a smile.
Minerva sighed as she popped him upside the head, “honestly Sirius, you would think you would be more careful.” Her face softened as she bent down and wrapped her arms around him and held him close. “You scared me nearly to death. I thought we had lost you too, I don’t think my old heart could handle losing you both.” She whispered.
Sirius embraced her, “Hey, cheer up Min. We have a surprise for you.” He grinned as he had her sit down and pulled out a mirror and enlarged it to show Harry grinning from a lovely bedroom. “Hey pup.”
Harry grinned and offered a small wave. “Hi Siri, Remus, Professors.”
Minerva felt the tears prickle in her eyes as she laid a hand over her rapidly beating heart. “Oh Harry, are you alright? We have been so worried about you. When we got the letter and the Goblins at Gringotts confirmed your parents will I was so worried for you. Are the Malfoy’s treating you well?”
Harry’s grin widened, “Oh yeah, surprisingly the Malfoy’s are great. Narcissa is an amazing baker, she’s also helped me with my summer homework, I think you might even be surprised. Draco’s not to bad either, you know for being a Slytherin.”
Minerva offered a surprised laugh as she dabbed at her eyes, “you are looking much better Harry. But what happened? Why did you leave your aunt and uncle’s house?”
Harry sighed and drew his knees up to his chest. “they were abusing me Professor…I was being kicked and beaten and because I know magic and healed quickly it just made things worse…my uncle…he even raped me a few times.”
“H-he did what? Oh dear Bast, forgive me Harry. I never knew, if I did I would have never allowed you to go back there.” She sobbed softly covering her eyes.
Harry felt his heart break at seeing the stern professor break down. “Please Professor, I’m safe now, you didn’t know you couldn’t have known. I told Dumbledore but he always sent me back, saying it was for the greater good.”
Her eyes widened. “You mean to say that Albus knew about this? To this extent?” She watched as Harry nodded and the other three men in the room nodded looking grave, “sweet Bast, how could he let them do this? Harry is only a child.”
They heard something from Harry’s end and looked to see him looking past the mirror and grinning. “Your on Malfoy, but no crying to your father when I paint the skies with you.” He looked back at the mirror. “Sorry, but I have to go. I’ll see you in school in a few weeks Professors. Bye Siri, Remus.” The mirror went blank and Sirius shrunk it and slid it back into his pocket.
Remus held out a tissue to Minerva and Sirius ran his hand on her arm comfortingly. “See Minerva, he’s fine perfectly safe. He told us you were worried about us too but mostly for him. As much as I hate to say it Narcissa has been good to him. You remember how she was back in school? Always caring and loving to the younger students. You remember that back when Lily and Severus were close in school that Narcissa was also close to them. Even though they were Half-blood and Muggleborn she still made an effort to make sure that they were taken care of. Severus makes sure he is safe and happy and in his letters Harry is more happy than he has ever been. And look at him, he looks good he’s not thin anymore, he actually gets to be a kid.” Remus said with a smile.
Minerva sighed, “this is all so confusing. Albus, when we got the letter he was furious. It just worries me what will happen.”
Severus reached over and squeezed her hand. “Minerva, you have to trust your heart. What is it telling you?” He coaxed softly.
“That if the boy is happy then no one should interfere. I fear that this war has consumed Albus, he was unstable after Grindelwald but this has pushed him over the edge. I fear for the safety of the school, he has become obsessed with defeating the Dark Lord.”
Severus nodded, “and your fear is for the students and their innocence right?” He watched her nod and he pressed on, “then help Harry Minerva, look at how happy he is, if Albus continues that light will be snuffed out and we will lose everything. If one child loses hope then all hope is lost.”
The elder witch looked to the other men who were nodding and she sighed. “Tell me what I must do.” She whispered, “if it will keep the children safe…and let mothers know that their children are loved and safe then I want to help.”
Severus smiled as he looked to the two men and nodded and drew out his wand. “Trust me Minerva, all will be clear in one moment. Claritatis.” The spell drifted over her as the door opened and Fenrir and Tom stepped out of the shadows in the room. “Remember your promise to keep children safe Minerva, and hear us out.”
She looked to Tom and brought her hand to the locket around her neck, “It’s been a long time Ian.” She whispered softly.
Tom smiled. “Yes it has Minerva, will you hear me out before you try to kill me?”
Her eyes narrowed, “you are the same, yet you are different. I feel…strange, like my eyes are opening for the first time.”
Severus nodded, “that is to be expected, you have been under a spell for a very long time Minerva, let me explain and we can move on from there.” He said softly as he poured tea for everyone, “things are not as we have been told, everything will become clear.” He said and settled down into the long explanation.
