Pairing: N/A
Fandom: Harry Potter
Summary: Lily's dead, Severus is in mourning. He contemplates what to do with the rest of his life when fate takes a hand.

Chapter 17
Much to Ian’s irritation he had been nudged the back of the infiltration party leaving Kingsley to take point with Emelia at his six and while he was on his own mate’s six.
They weren’t even allowed to actually rescue the pup.
They walked on silenced feet; the sleeping charm on the children was very strong.
Ian had temporarily transfigured the walls into pillars so he could move all of the children on the top floor into the same large room.
Then he stood guard and waited.
XooooooX
Andromeda arrived, her face taunt and her eyes already icy.
Jayme was dumping the last body of one of the workers when she spotted the witch and exited the warded stand of trees.
Andromeda must have sensed her because she ground out, “Where’s Harry?”
“He’s here but I haven’t see him. I’ve been on Muggle removal duty.” The older witch shrugged. “Ian is watching the already found children like they are pack.”
“I’ll take a look at them.”
Jayme led her up the various flights of stairs and was only vaguely surprised to see what Ian had done to the room.
Andromeda used magic to examine all the children, her fury was soon apparent because the air crackled around her.
“What is the plan?” the healer witch hissed after casting what magic she could on the magical children and did what she could for the Muggle ones.
“There is a Squib in Dumbledore’s precious Order, Emelia wants to establish a decent orphanage and put her in charge. Hopefully, you and Ted can look in on the children and care for their physical and mental recovery.” Ian snarled.
“I wonder how many others there are…this can’t be all of the mistreated magical children….” Andromeda muttered darkly.
XooooooX
The nurseries held infants and toddlers, ten in all…
Emelia’s heart was already broken by the loss of her mother, grandparents, best friend, her brother, her nieces and nephews back in August.
She had lived with nieces and nephews; Emelia remembered them at these ages…
These babies were underweight, their clothing and blankets too thin by comparison.
She was a hit wizard, a member of the Order of the Phoenix and when she saw Lily and James Potter’s missing son, Emelia choked on a sob.
He wasn’t the chubby, happy baby that she remembered from James’ bragging at Order meetings.
He’d lost weight, there were dark shadows in his eyes and his eyes darted fearfully around the room.
Harry had woken up when she walked in as if he thought she might be a threat.
Kingsley had stunned the two Muggles they had found due to a Muggle detection charm still down here and had hauled them out.
Emelia conjured decent carrycots, not that different from what Eddie used for his children.
Her childhood home had been destroyed and it had come down in a fiery implosion, thankfully Ethan was across the pond at school where he was working on his Transfiguration apprenticeship to protect him.
He was all the family she had left these days with the exception of her Black cousins through her father Alphard Sirius, Andromeda, Bellatrix and Narcissa; not to mention Aunt Ettare’s children Orpah Smith who had three kids, Rebekah Macmillan who had just one boy and their younger brother Samuel Abbott who had a daughter.
She had more distant relatives due to Nana Elsa having seven siblings, Nana Lyconis had two brothers who each had two children but only her brother Regulus had a surviving son.
While Emelia wasn’t so sure she wanted kids, it was horrible to see how these babies had been mistreated…
Now she understood why Severus was so desperate to rescue him.
Gently levitating the babies into the hovering carrycots, Emelia smiled at little Harry Potter. “Yes I’m magic too. Your uncle Severus sent me.”
“Sebi?” the boy breathed.
“The bad people are gone little one. They can’t ever hurt you again. You’re safe. I’ll make sure you go home to Severus, I promise.”
“Mama? Dadi? Siri?” Harry begged.
“Your mama and papa are in heaven little one, but they loved you very much. Sirius is in trouble but we’ll try to get him out safely.” Emelia promised.
Harry pouted but then again Emelia wasn’t sure how much the infant understood.
He was still very little and his mind developing…
Emelia headed out of the basement the carrycots levitating behind her and following as if tugged by an invisible string.
No it was more like a dungeon prison, and since she was a Hufflepuff, this was not even worth the title of ‘Basement’.
Kingsley met her halfway down the stairs leading down from the trapdoor in that closet.
They followed Andromeda’s magical signature to the top floor only to find all of the children’s rooms had been combined into one.
Andromeda started with Harry’s exam before tending to the children.
“I separated the children by magic.” Ian growled.
“There were ten magical infants including Harry down there with two more workers.” Emelia said bitterly.
“So, what is the plan?” Jayme scowled.
“First thing in the morning, we’re going to call a charter in to the local airport. All of these children will be removed via plan. We’ll say the funding was cut and that this place is closing. The children will be transferred elsewhere.” Kingsley shrugged.
“Where will we move them?”
Andromeda flinched, “I’ll talk to Cissy, I’m sure we can have our childhood home turned into a magical orphanage. It’s legally hers anyway, I’m sure she won’t complain. It’s in Wales though.”
“We’ll have to find a nearby house to house the Muggle children, likely we’ll need another squib to run it.”
“Aunt Lucida had a lateborn Atlas Bryan who is a Squib, she sent him to Harrow and he’s bound for Yale I believe. He has his original trust vault converted into Muggle money and she still sees him on occasion I believe. He maybe younger then his late cousins Fabian and Gideon as well as their living siblings Mary but he’s older then Jason.” Andromeda frowned.
“With Fabian and Gideon gone, what’s the story with Jason?” Emelia asked.
Andromeda’s Aunt Lucida was bonded to her great uncle Isdemus who was one of Nana Elsa’s many siblings.
“Mary isn’t close to Jason and blames him for the loss of their mother. I believe he’s been in the custody of the Dearborns, specifically their second cousin Mark and his wife Charlene, Alys and Caradoc’s parents.” Andromeda shrugged. “I believe that they are looking after his uncle as well.”
“So we have Arabella and a Prewett squib, anyone else?” Jayme mused.
“Dolores has a Squib brother, Daniel…” Andromeda mused, “Aunt Walpurga loved to bring it up. I believe that he went to Harrow with Brian…Dolores was a harpy, she hated being a Halfblood and when her brother proved to be a squib, she called him a filthy Muggle and made her father so miserable and her mother so irritated that eventually the mother asked for a divorce.”
“It’s hard for Squibs to get jobs, it’s worse for them then it is for Muggleborns. I’m sure they stick together, but if Arabella can’t think of anyone then we can contact the Society for the Support of Squibs. We can tell them the sort of jobs we need and see who applies.” Emelia was in favour of putting together a decent place.
“I’ll bring the pack over, they can settle in a guardians.” Jayme said sternly.
“Harry belongs with his family, the question if who will return him.” Kingsley said gruffly.
“He’s part of the Pack and our Beta asked us to find him.” Ian said surly.
“Lucius has suffered the most in trying to locate him.” Andromeda admonished. “I think he deserves to, Cissy won’t let him in the house until Harry’s back in Severus’ arms because of how he’s been trying to find him.”
Ian fumed, “Oh Godric fine, let the snake have all the glory…”
Andromeda took the carrycot that had a sleepy but nervous Harry, “I’ll send an elf by about the house.”
Then she portkeyed back to The Hecate…
XooooooX
Dora was anxious; her mother had been gone a while.
Was Harry there? Was he safe?
She may be only nine but she knew that Uncle Lucius was very worried, he saw all the stuff he wouldn’t let her see.
Dora was drawing in one of her sketchbooks from mother, she wasn’t as good as mother but then again mother had been doing this a long time.
Dora was really happy to be helpful even if she had to take time off from school.
Sure she was nine but she was at Hecate’s in Hogsmeade while her parents were at St. Mungos’.
Then she saw a small amount of air swirl until it became her mother.
In mother’s hand was a baby’s carrycot.
Dora jumped up, her Muggle crayons flying everywhere. “You found him!”
“You want to see him?”
Dora beamed at her, “Oh please can I?”
Andromeda snorted, “It’s ‘Please mother may I’.”
Dora rolled her eyes, “Please mummy may I look at the baby?”
Andromeda knelt and pulled down the blanket she’d absently conjured before the portkey.
Dora whispered, “He’s pretty. I looked just like him as ‘Eddy’.”
“That was the point.” Andromeda undid the straps on the carrycot and placed Harry in her arms. “Why don’t you carefully take Harry to Uncle Lucius?”
Dora beamed and used her Metamorphmagus abilities to make her arms a little stronger before she headed to her uncle’s cabin.
Her mother followed behind her and used the knocking charm on the door.
“Just a minute…come in…” Lucius called back after a few moments.
Andromeda opened the door and Dora scampered in, Harry in her arms, “We did it Uncle Lucius! We helped find Harry.”
Lucius gaped at her, “We did….we did?”
Dora held up Harry, “See? Mummy said it’s Harry, she ought to know to helped Miss Lily have him.”
Lucius swallowed, “He’s really here?”
Andromeda nodded, “Yes you idiot. No one saw us with him, I was sure prevent that.”
“Severus will be very relieved…” Lucius said pulling Harry into his arms.
“And you can go home and leave being an Auror to actual Aurors like Kingsley.” Andromeda said sharply. “Harry’s safe now, he’ll need help to recover and he might not ever escape the shadows of the murder of his parents and the abuse he suffered at the hands of those monsters but with all of us he’ll be okay someday.”
“I can’t leave this unfinished.”
“You earned that Ricky’s trust, Kingsley can stand in for you now and we don’t need to use my daughter any longer. The three of us, we’re done you hear me Lucius?” Andromeda said in a cold, hard voice like ice, “You do remember that even if I had bonded to you we would never be equals because I would always be the Queen and you the mere Prince consort. I said we’re done, do you hear me?”
Lucius gave her a wary smile, “Alright, we’re done. I did it didn’t I?”
Andromeda could see the anguish in his eyes, “You did and you’ll have to see Ted because he knows enough and he’s family so he won’t tell a soul.”
Lucius reached out a hand for the carrycot, “I’ll take him home to Severus.”
“We’re going to walk out of this yacht and we’re going to Apparate home ourselves.” Andromeda said sternly.
Dora pouted, “Does that mean I can’t play Auror anymore?”
“Dora you know Kingsley is an Auror right?”
Dora nodded, “Uh huh.”
“And Emelia is a hit wizard?”
Dora nodded again, “Yeah.”
“Think of this little adventure as a test. They’re going to remember you, you’re going to Hogwarts in two years and when you take your NEWTS they’re going to come looking for you. I’m curious as to which one’s offer you’re going to take…” Lucius mused.
Dora beamed, “Oh, okay. I’m going to pack my things mummy.”
Andromeda nodded, “Good. I’ll meet you in our cabin.”
Dora bounced, “Can we come back sometime? It’s really fun.”
“Sometime yes. Right now, Harry and I are going home.” Lucius snapped his fingers and Stria appeared.
“Master be needing Stria?”
Lucius nodded, “Take me to Merrivale.”
Lucius had never feel more proud of himself, his experiences as Luke Malloy would haunt him but in the end he had helped rescue Harry and that’s all that mattered.
XooooooX
Severus was napping much to Remus’ relief, when Lolly appeared all in smiles.
“He’s here Master Remus!”
Remus frowned, “Who is here?”
“Missy Lilly’s baby! Harry’s home!” the elf twittered and then burst into tears.
Remus barked at her, “Take me to him.”
She was still blubbering when she Apparated him to the Receiving room where Lucius was waiting.
“Where’s Severus?”
“Sleeping. He skipped three meals and sleep when I told him he would be eating properly and sleeping normally. He woke up at three and locked himself in his lab.” Remus grumbled.
“He’s never been good at remembering to eat or sleep, Narcissa and Lily were always complaining about it.” Lucius muttered darkly. “I trust you’ll look after the three of them. Severus will recover better from the loss of Lily now that Harry’s home.”
Remus took Harry from the older wizard, “Thank you.”
“You look after them, his sister might not have suffered but Harry and Severus have. Severus is my half cousin and family, since Harry shares his Prince blood he’s family too. Now, I’m under orders to go home and stop playing Auror.”
“I’ll clean up Harry and put him to bed with his sister. I think he’ll need to comfort even if he doesn’t remember her yet.”
Lucius rose slowly, “Let me know when Severus wakes and has a chance to rebond with his godson. I think the reunion will do them both good.”
Remus nodded, “I will. Thank you for helping us. I’m sure we wouldn’t have found him so quickly without your help.”
“It’s the least I can do.”
Then Lucius was in the hearth calling out Malfoy Manor.
Remus pulled Harry out of the carrycot and cradled him to his chest. “Hello Harry, I’m your uncle Remus. You’re safe now; you have myself, your uncle Severus and your sister here we’re going to be your new family.”
“Sebi?” Harry whispered.
“Yes, Sebi is here. Let’s go have a bath…”
The poor boy’s eyes filled with fear that a fifteen-month-old baby shouldn’t have experienced, “No bath. Be good.”
“You’re safe now, no one is going to hurt you. You’re home with people who love you.” Remus was going to try very hard to help Harry learn to trust again…
Harry was quiet and lethargic during the bath, Coraline had a very few girl outfits but Remus hadn’t gone shopping yet so he just put Harry in some of his sister’s clothes.
Remus carried him into the bedroom, Coraline was on baby food and after her mother’s death she’d transferred fully to formula rather then the bottles of expressed breast milk that Lily sent every day after feeding Harry.
He told Lolly to bring Coraline’s crib into his and Severus’ room, he sat on the bed beside Severus and shook him while casting a charm to wake his mate, “Severus…wake up.”
Severus stirred, “Remy?”
“Look who is home.”
Severus woke up immediately and sat up, blinking, “Who?”
Remus beamed at him, “Harry’s home.”
Before Severus could yell at him, Harry whimpered, “Sebi?”
Severus looked down at the blanket-wrapped bundle in Harry’s arms, “Harry?”
“Sebi!” Harry held out his stick arms, “Up!”
Severus took Harry in his arms and sobbed, “You’re safe, you’re home, how?”
“Lucius brought him home.” Remus said wrapping a comforting arm around his mate’s shoulders. “He said he was going home…”
“Narcissa said he couldn’t come home until Harry was home…” Severus sniffed as he rocked Harry who clutched at his pyjama top.
“I hope she meant that Lucius could come home because he looked lost and said that Andromeda ordered him home…” Remus offered.
“I don’t know what he did to upset Narcissa but I’m glad they are both home…”
Lolly appeared with Cora and her crib, pushing it through their bedroom door.
Severus frowned, “Why is that here?”
“Because I think Cora will help Harry feel safe and we’ll rest much better knowing he’s here.” Remus said simply.
Severus kissed him whispering, “You’re far better then I deserve…”
“None of that,” Remus glared, “I won’t have you talking like that about yourself. I don’t want Harry to pick up that habit. No matter what horrible things happened to either of you, you’re still a person and you have feelings as well as rights.”
Severus swallowed, “I…understand…” he’d have to learn to hold his tongue about such things.
“I heard Ted Tonks is a Mind Healer, I know Harry is very young but he’ll have to have a look in Harry’s head to see what those things did. It will be painful but he have to known. He’s terrified of baths…”
Severus flinched, “I believe I know why…are those people dead?”
“I don’t know…I doubt Lucius does either…”
XooooooX
Stria had been sent on to the Manor to let his mistress know that Harry was found and Lucius was coming home.
His mistress had taken to sleeping in the nursery on the daybed there rather then the opulent chamber that she’d decorated with Lucius’ permission after the death of their old master Abraxus. When she wasn’t caring for Master Draco, she was curled up in the daybed crying.
“Miss Cissy?”
“What do you want Stria?” her voice was quiet, rough from crying.
“Master said to tell you he took Harry home.”
His mistress sat up, “Harry’s home?”
“Harry be at Merrivale with Master…” Stria said with a nod, “Stria be delivering Master there with Master Harry.”
“Has Lucius eaten yet?”
Stria shook his head, “Master hasn’t ate much since he left.”
Mistress flinched, “Have a light supper sent to our rooms and a bath drawn. Send Lucius to our rooms when he returns.”
Stria bowed, “Yes Miss Cissy.” Then he left.
XooooooX
Lucius was mentally and physically exhausted when he finally returned home to the Manor.
He was met by Dobby.
“Miss Cissy said to join her in your room for a bath. Supper being sent from kitchens.”
Lucius swallowed, “I can’t face her…not yet.”
Dobby took his arm, “Miss Cissy said you were to be sent there. Dobby follow Miss Cissy’s orders.”
Lucius didn’t protest, he wanted nothing more then to hold his wife and son.
He was delivered to their shared bathroom to find that Narcissa was wearing only a mint-coloured silk robe and she looked up at him with wet eyes.
“I missed you…” they both whispered at the same time, turning a bit pink.
“Take off those Muggle clothes. You are finished, aren’t you?” Narcissa asked in a shaky voice.
“Andromeda said I was.” Lucius admitted, even if he felt there were things he hadn’t finished.
“Good.” Then his wife reached out with her delicate hands to remove his Muggle clothes to be burnt by the House elves.
Lucius let her do as she wished, he was rewarded when she slid her robe off her slim shoulders and took his hand leading him into the bath.
They washed each other gently, before they mere sat in the steaming water and just held one another tightly.
They survived a war together and the loss of their parents, Lucius only hoped he’d survive his memories of ‘playing Auror’.
Narcissa clung to him, “Promise me…you’ll never do anything like this again.”
“I don’t think I have it in my Cissa, I’m glad Annie sent me home. If I had to stand back and watch more children hurt I don’t think I could stand it. I saw a lot of bad things as a spy but watching children made me think that it could have been Draco, Daphne or Luna. I don’t know what I’ll do now but this has to stop…I want them dead…”
“Hush Lucius, you’re home. Leave it to the Aurors now you’ve done enough. Harry’s home and that all that matters…” his wife said snuggling.
“Now comes the cleaning up…” Lucius murmured.
“What was that?” Narcissa snapped.
“Nothing love.”
They stayed in the bath for a while, until it started growing cold, then they dressed and crawled into bed.
Neither had slept well without the other and it was a relief to be together again.

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
ChaosLady - Harry's home now, Emelia Bones and Kingsley Shacklebolt are members of the Order, they knew James and Lily even if they were older. Emelia is like a perfect Hufflepuff, she already promised Jayme and Ian that all of the staff would be punished. Kingsley maybe a Gryffindor but he isn't alright with letting the staff go especially if like Ian and Jayme he knows they won't be punished properly. I am sure that Severus will come up with a fitting punishment that won't actually get him in trouble with the Ministry for the Dursleys- Lucius and Andromeda with probably help.
staar - I have read a vaguly similar story about Harry being dumped at an orphange by the Dursleys only to be sent to be trained dispicably, much of it was refered to and there was a huge time skip so Harry wasn't found until he was almost eleven, even I'm not that cruel. I started this story to show what it may have been like in 'Our World' if Harry had been thrown into the British Muggle Care system in November of 1981. Now comes the clean up, helping Harry and the other children recover from being mistreated. Finding the children safe caregivers and a new home as well as punishing their abusers will be a priority as well. As long as Sancus is fighting for Sirius, that leaves Emelia and Kingsley free to clean up after Lucius' investigation. Poor Ted, he won't be happy at all...
