(I'm thinking)
"I'm speaking"
Last Time:
“no Mrs. Potter, I believe something very right is going to happen. Where’s your daughter Violet?” the second Violet appeared Moody yelled ”Arrest them!”
XXXXXXXXXX
The auror waiting outside Harry’s house in case Severus left noticed his target floo away with Harry for a second time today and picked up the magically enhanced phone “Severus and the director are leaving again Minister Blum”
“that’s to be expected. Gellert just told me the Potters were arrested. Has there been any developments?” came Adina’s voice.
“no minister-” the auror was interrupted by a delivery truck coming into the warded area and stopping near the very home he was guarding. What concern wasn’t that, but the limp of the man who got out of the truck.
“agent Turner, were you cut off? What is going on?” Adina asked trying to get a response.
“a delivery truck just pulled up and the driver has a limp in his left leg” the officer said making sure to remain hidden as the man opened the back truck door.
“though it has been nearly two weeks Wyatt wouldn’t be able to heal a cutting curse injury, which was to his left leg, without a healer. Don’t let him leave. I’m sending back up” Adina said seriously before instantly hanging up.
Turner grabbed his wand and walked towards the man who was taking out a box and staring to walk towards the director’s house “excuse me, I’m Agent Turner, put that package down if you don’t mind. I need to ask you some questions-shit!” the auror cursed as the man threw down the box and started running no doubt to get out of the warded area so he could apparate away again, but this auror wasn’t going to allow it.
The chase was on, but didn’t last long considering it was limping man vs trained auror. With one well aimed hex the delivery man was down and six aurors arrived “he tried to run so I disabled him. His truck is over there and the package he tried to drop off is-”
BOOM … an explosion rocked the area …
XXXXXXXXXX
Violet gasped was her parent were quickly stunned “mom? Dad?”
Moody looked down at the little girl as the other two aurors cuffed the Potters in magic blocking cuffs “I’m sorry you had to see that squirt, but we didn’t want to take any chances of them getting away especially after what we learned about how they treat you and your brother” he said as the Potters were dragged through their own floo to e taken to the ministry.
“y-you know?” Violet whimpered as she started to tear up. Were these people going to stop their parents?
“aye squirt. Come on, I’ll get you to the ministry to see your brother and get some things hashed out like where you’re staying” Moody said as he guided the girl through the floo and the flames took them to the ministry where they could hear James and Lily screaming about ‘injustice’ and ‘lawsuits’.
“but won’t I be going with Sirius?” she asked despite not being very fond of being with Sirius though at least he wouldn’t her just try to get her to skip school.
“protocol means we had no choice, but to contact your godfather. However it might not go that way” Moody said as they went all the way to Gellert’s office where she saw her brother standing with Albus and five other people. Two people she remembered from the train station, her beloved Uncle Remmy, a handsome man who had an arm around her uncle’s waist and a goblin
The minister smiled down at Violet who quickly hugged James and Remus “hello Violet, this will onlt take a moment and you can go home. You can stay Moody. I have a feeling Mr. Black may try to cause trouble”
“you got it” Moody sneered and waited near the door almost daring the man to barge in and give him an excuse to get rough. Suffice to say it Moody did not like what he discovered about the treatment these kids went through and needed to vent a little preferably with the culprits’ heads.
Sure enough the door flew open with a bang making both kids flinch badly making the werewolf give a protective growl and hold them close, but that went unnoticed by Sirius who stormed up to the desk “WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THESE DRAGONSHIT CHARGES OF ABUSE? LILY AND JAMES NEVER DID ANYTHING OF THE SORT! I’M TAKING MY GODCHILDREN AND LEAVING. AND I’LL SEE YOU ALL SUED FOR THIS SHIT!”
Gellert frowned as Sirius tried to grab the kids only to be stopped by Harry and Moody “according to the laws you can’t take James and Violet. You are their godfather, but their custody goes first to the eldest sibling”
“are you mental? They have no older siblings!” Sirius snapped not realizing he was scaring the children pretty badly and that added to their shock of learning that they had an older brother they never knew about.
The goblin sneered and snapped his fingers sealing Sirius’s mouth shut ”that is where you’re wrong Lord Black. I checked the blood myself and Harry Minitree here is without a doubt a Potter and seeing as he is a direct relative who is an adult he has full custody”
“could you leave him like that?” a very amused Severus asked the goblin who was about to click its fingers again to reverse spell keeping Sirius’s mouth shut. That comment rubbed Sirius the wrong way of course and he tried to throw a punch, but not only did Moody stun him first Harry had easily moved in front of Severus so even if Sirius wasn’t stunned in time he still would not have hit his target.
The goblin sneered “do control yourself Lord Black or have you not realized yet that you’re scaring the little hobgoblins”
Though still stunned and unable to speak Sirius was able to see the kids clinging to Remus. That seemed to be enough of a reality check for him to calm down. There was no denying he cared for those kids, but he was rather blind to the most obvious signs of distress. With a couple moments of silence the goblin and Moody released Sirius from their spells and he stood up albeit looking a bit sheepish for acting that way.
“I never … they would’ve told me” Sirius said a bit accusingly.
Harry scoffed “I highly doubt they would’ve being they were still quite young themselves and despite your opinions on squibs I know they would never admit to bearing one. Ask Remus, he knew of my birth though he was later told I died” he said noticing the children’s eyes widen in understanding. It must’ve made sense to them. After all if they were treated the way they were as magical children they couldn’t imagine what would have happened to them if they have been born squibs instead. James and Violet knew their parents’ hates and understood why they never knew about their brother.
Sirius looked at Remus and completely deflated when his ex nodded confirming the story “you don’t look like them” he argued weakly still hoping this was a trick because if this was true then his friends lied to him for years.
The director adjusted his glasses “truly a blessing … Now it is getting rather late for them so it’s time to wrap this up so they can get to bed-”
“wait, you can’t just take them! They don’t even know you and James is in school!” Sirius snapped not caring that he cut Harry off.
The goblin rolled his eyes “he’s aware of this Lord Black. Partial cutody will be awarded to someone trustworthy to care for-”
“partial custody?” Sirius grinned “give me partial custody-”
Harry sighed “you never noticed their pain or anything strange going on even though you were allowed to stay for long periods of time with them so I don’t think you’re a suitable guardian. I gave Remus custody-”
“he never said anything about this supposed abusive treatment and he’s a werewolf!” Sirius argued feeling borderline desperate at this point.
Remus glared “Sirius you had days at a time with them while I was never around for more than a few minutes at a time because everyone made excuses for me to leave. It was either the kids were tired or there was a dinner party or some reason for me to leave. That and my habit of calling ahead of time made easy to hide things especially with that honey water smelling potion they soaked them in every time I said I was coming” Remus had to keep from slapping Sirius when the Black had the nerve to look stunned “I see you do know of that potion. Every time I came over they smelled like very little or like honey water. Explain that” Remus said, but knew the idiot was too overwhelmed with what he has been told already to be of any help.
Albus smiled down at James “Remus and Peter will take Violet to their home and I’ll take you back to school, but for the first couple weekends, assuming you’re caught up on homework, you can floo to visit them and see what your home is like”
“and decorate your room” Remus said with a smile, but before James could say a word Sirius decided to add his two knuts in again.
“I’ll pay for everything you want” Sirius pleaded as he tried to move closer to the two kids, but the low growl from Remus made him back up.
“I gave Remus my Gringotts card so they should be quite alright” Harry commented.
“I have more money than Harry so I should be capable of doing that much! Tell them!” Sirius snapped.
The goblin scowled at being ordered around, but glanced at Harry who simply shrugged allowing the stupid wallet measuring contest “since you both want this made public I’ll do so. First Mr. Minitree has royalties for his part in the Runes for Rascals and Potion Puppets plus his Decoction wages and the Byline discovery combined with several other projects he has more than enough money to provide what ever these kids could possibly want. As for you Lord Black … this is perhaps something we should discuss at the bank-”
“tell them!” Sirius huffed desperately wanting to prove that he can help care for godchildren in someway.
“thanks to your lack of investment and exorbitant spending your actually nearly broke” the goblin muttered. He didn’t like this, but his idiot client made him say it.
Sirius gaped “WHAT? Is this a joke? I’m from an Ancient-”
“this is not a topic to be discussed right now. Albus get James to Hogwarts and bring me a others kids you have discover to be in a dangerous situation. Narcissa has informed me that there are several kids in the Kneazle Nursery, but there’s still plenty of room so don’t let anyone worry about that. Remus get Violet home since both kids have class, but first can we have some memories Violet? I’m not going to force you to stay out of the trial in a week, but if you don’t want to come then this will take the place of your testimony” Gellert explained softly and like her brother she gladly handed over copies of all the painful memories in one pensieve spell done by Moody who carefully took a couple of drops of blood from her to have tested for potions. Sirius just stood there watching the silvery memories Moody had put in a vial trying to understand why there were memories Violet thought would show her parents being abusive at all. It was also strange to see the large pile of papers that appeared from the quick scanning medical spell Peter did. He was slowly realizing this may all be true.
Harry knelt down to the kids level and handed them both a phone “Albus, Draco and Remus all have one of these phones so they can help show you how it works. If you ever need me or just want to talk call me ok?” Harry offered and the children hesitantly took the phones with shy smiles.
“lets go James” Albus said and they left the room to go floo back to Hogwarts.
“lets go too Violet” Remus said softly and they left the office too with Severus and Harry not too far behind.
Gellert’s eyes narrowed as he saw Sirius try to leave with the goblin “hold it Mr. Black. We have one last thing to discuss before you run off to Gringotts to sort out your finances. It’s about your animgus form not being registered” he said and Sirius flinched …
XXXXXXXXXX
The second Harry and Severus stepped out of the floo they smelled smoke “what the hell?” Harry muttered as Zippy popped in front of them “Zippy what’s going on? Do I hear sirens?”
“yes master Harry. The aurors are outside as well as an ambulance … good news is Wyatt was caught. Zippy was told he stunned a delivery man and used his hair in an extra poly juice potion before stealing the truck. Wyatt tried to fool your guard detail and drop a package filled with explosive potions off in front of your home, but he couldn’t cover up his limp and he was caught” the elf reported clearly concerned about something.
“what’s the bad news?” Severus asked as he followed Harry to the sunroom in the front of the house where the plants Doc cared for was. Despite being very relieved about Wyatt getting caught he was thinking about that ambulance. Who was hurt?
“as the aurors were chasing after Wyatt someone opened the box … there were four people in the park who were injured and the person who opened it was killed instantly” the elf reported gloomily.
“who was killed?” Harry asked as he watched the healers tend to the four people who were hurt. Thankfully the wounds didn’t look serious.
“Zippy does not know … they couldn’t identify the body it was so badly damaged” Zippy said and quirked his head as he noticed Harry was looking at the tilted potted plant and the little bits of dirt on the ground “master Harry?”
“Zippy was the door open when this happened?” Harry asked as he right the potted plant and inspected a new scrape on it.
Zippy shook his head “it was closed”
Severus raised an eyebrow “Harry the fountain is shifted”
“you’re right … there’s something stuck behind it. Zippy could you levitate it?” Harry asked getting a sinking feeling in the pit of his stomach. The elf snapped his fingers and the little frog fountain against the wall floated upwards revealing a pair of filthy blood splattered goggles. Harry took one look at the goggles and grabbed his phone to call the minister “Adina, Zippy told me what happened. I need you to run the blood of the body against Doc’s blood”
A few minutes later they had a painful answer … Doc was dead …
Doc must’ve been waiting for a package and ran outside thinking that was it. The goggles flew off during the blast and into the house because Doc left the door open, but the force of the blast shut the door right after the goggles flew in …
XXXXXaXXXXX
“this is my room?” Violet asked shyly as she went into the cozy home where she’ll be living with Remus and Peter.
Remus smiled “it’s a bit bare, but I thought it’d be more fun decorating it with you here. Peter and I are just down the hall so if you need anything just ask. You should get ready for bed so you won’t be tired for school, which we will be taking you to St. Mungo’s afterwards to have you healed and potions removed”
“is James going too?” she asked sweetly.
“no, he’ll be cared for at Hogwarts. Now first can I remove the charm hiding your wounds?” Remus asked softly and Violet turned nervously so he could check her back. Remus bit back his tears when the spell revealed the gashes on her small back “they won’t hurt you again sweetheart” Remus said firmly as he kissed her head.
Peter kneeled down “I can’t remove the potion, but I can heal you so you can be in less pain”
“are you Uncle Remmy’s healer for the full moon times? He’s in a lot of pain during those times” she said innocently as the healer made the pain go away as promised.
“yes. I’ll be with you when he’s going through those times and I’ll be helping him, but I’ll be with him even more than that” Peter said and kissed Remus softly. Violet smiled liking this nice man already. He made her uncle glow with happiness.
“now lets get you into a warm bath and some pajamas” Remus said as he scooped up the girl. For the first time in a long time she went to sleep and didn’t have any scary dreams.
XXXXXXXXXX
“Harry are you ok?” Severus asked gently as he sat on the couch next to Harry. At this point everyone has gone even Zippy who thought they needed a moment alone.
“I’m … I don’t know” Harry sighed tiredly as he rubbed his eyes. While Doc had his many quirks a drove Harry inane sometimes the mad man was like father to him. This death hurt far more than he ever thought it would.
Unsure of how to comfort Harry the raven kissed the director’s temple “I’ll go make some tea” he said and went into the kitchen.
Harry however didn’t seem to hear his lover. Instead his bi colored eyes became transfixed on the grandfather clock that was Doc’s room. After a moment he got up and went in the spacious timepiece. There was a purple stain and broken glass on the far wall that looked like threw a potion against it, but other than that everything looked just as it always did. The first time he came in here he was just accepted into Decoction as the youngest potion master being only 14 at the time. He was dragging Doc into there to put him to bed after the man tried to drink a candle for some unknown reason. After offering Doc a chocolate bar in exchange for the candle Doc passed out. Probably had something to do with the sleeping potion Harry put in the bar.
There were many times he had to deal with Doc’s antics, but the memories made hm tear up a little. After removing his glasses to wipe his eyes he spotted the long blue curtains he had seen so many times before. Each time he had been too busy to care about what was behind them, but now he wanted to know. He went over and moved the curtains aside revealing a portrait …
One person was a man with gray hair and black eyes dressed in old style clothes who looked exactly like Doc. He was standing next to a taller blonde woman with blue eyes. Between them was a 12 year old boy with blonde hair and hazel eyes.
The inscription on the bottom of the frame was …
‘Daniel Oscar Caldwell and his wife Elizabeth Caldwell with their son Sebastian Caldwell’
“Daniel Oscar Caldwell huh … D-O-C. Fucking mad man used his own initials to make his name” Harry chuckled as more tears came to his eyes. It also didn’t escape his attention a small flowering tree in the background. A tree that never grows very big so really a mini tree. The source to his mentor’s name was in this painting!
Before Harry could inspect the portrait closer he heard a clink from behind him. Of course he suspected that it was Severus and turned around. Instead of meeting black eyes he saw something else floating near the cabinets. This translucent thing trying to open the drawer looked at him and blinked. A couple moments of stunned silence passed before Harry stormed out of the clock.
Severus was not aware that Harry was walking up behind him until he heard someone sit down at the table “Adina called a second ago offering to help with any arrangements …I said it may be a little soon to plan the funeral-”
“here’s what we’re doing for the funeral. He will be cremated and tossed into the ocean” Harry said bluntly and uncaringly.
Severus blinked in shock, but his eyes softened “Harry it’s ok to grieve-”
“oh I know, but I refuse to grieve until he passes over” Harry muttered not sure if he was angry or relieved at what he found.
“passes over? … no … you don’t mean …” Severus bolted into the clock and instantly ran back out slamming the door of the grandfather clock shut “HE’S A GHOST! That prick could’ve said something when he died hours ago, but no! He decides to let the grieving start-”
Harry pulled the irate wizard into his lap “lets just go to bed” he said and Severus melted against him as they kissed …
