By the time Poppy had finished healing the man she saw as a son, it was very late. However, Minerva McGonagall had appeared in hospital wing soon after. Upon entering and noticing that Harry was sitting beside a bed, she gasped.
“What has happened here Harry?” Her accent heavy with worry.
“He took him, Aunt Minni. Seamus and Pansy showed up at the castle. It seems the Luna beat the holy shit out of Pansy causing her to lose the baby she was going to surprise George with on his birthday. Whatever was done to her has damaged her so severely that she will never be able to have one. Hermione's healed her as best she can. We were taking them to the infirmary at the castle when I felt this overwhelming fear encompass my entire being. I sent out my magic to find Sev and Hogwars showed me where he was and what was happening. She allowed me to apparate straight to the cell. Uncle Tom says it's where Dumbledore used to take him for their “lessons”. I managed to pull him here with me through our link. You know how we enter a kind of trance? Well, Meodar took him to his room while he was here. Dumbledore is in a cell in our dungeons. We talked about it. For now, Dumbledore will be kept alive. Poppy is there now to see if there is anything further she can do for Pansy. And one of my emergency portkeys was activated right before I got here. She should be back anytime. Why did you come up here?” Harry explained to his former Head of House.
“Oh Harry! I am so sorry to hear all of that. All I can tell you is that I had this incessant feeling that this is where I needed to be. And I needed to be here now! I hope Miss Parkinson recovers as much as she possible. Poppy will do all she can. I will not speak of THAT man. Who do you think activated the EP? Is there any way to tell whose it was that activated?” The elder woman asked as she walked over to sit beside her adopted nephew. Not blood adopted but heart. He just started calling her Aunt one day and it made her heart melt.
“No, no way to tell. But......I've been so worried about Sev that I forgot there was someone else in the cell when I got there. All I could tell was that the person had blond hair and was in very bad shape. I sent her here to Pop. Who said 'she' would recover but was in a healing coma. I can't leave him to go look.” Harry pleaded with the woman.
Catching on to his unspoken question, Minerva got up and went to look behind the curtain that surrounded a bed on the far side of the room. She couldn't hide the shock as she saw who it was lying there.
Harry heard the gasp from across the room and panicked. Thinking he knew who it was. Luna.
“What? Who is it? You have to tell me!!!” Magic was beginning to surge and swirl throughout the ward.
Minerva quickly made here way back to Harry.
“I didn't even know she was on our side. What with the way she has been following Albus around everywhere. Harry it is...”
“Nymphadora” was said from the door. Startling them both.
“What do you mean? And why are you here? You are supposed to be in your room protected. What if Tom would have come across you?” Harry asked all in quick concession.
“Relax Harry. I know it has been a trying day...”
“Trying day?! Come on, Gin. Luna has been being tortured for gods know how long; Pansy was severely beaten and permanently damaged; Sev was kidnapped and tortured and it seems that Tonks was found out and has ended up here in a coma!!! And you say trying. The only good thing to come of today is that Dumbledore is finally in a cell warded by Slytherin blood so that only me or Uncle Tom can enter it.” Harry ranted at the demure redhead.
“Sheesh Harry. Calm down. To answer your question: Poppy came to my room and asked if I would come here and let you know what was going on at the castle. And Tom is still in his trance since you left worrying everyone. Oh and Tommy, Moedar put you in your room. Also, I know what all has happened. But look at it this way, you got him. He can't hurt anyone anymore. And what in the hell do you mean 'Tonks has been found out'? What haven't you told us?!” Ginny crossed her arms and cocked an eyebrow. Very much in the manner of one Severus Snape.
“First you tell me how you know you know that it IS Tonks.” Harry insisted. Leaving no room for argument or refusal.
“Well, it seems that right after you disappeared from the castle, another body appeared in front of Tom while he was in his daze thingie that you two do when you talk. Thankfully, Remus was still with him so he put her on the bed with Pansy and then brought them in to the infirmary. Hermione checked her out and discovered that she was badly tortured and beaten but was still had her magic. Which is a relief. Harry, it was Luna. Poppy rechecked her when she got there and confirmed that she will be OK in a few days.” She paused here to walk over and look behind the curtain around Tonks' bed. She also gasped at what she found there.
“Ginny, that doesn't explain how you know it is Tonks.” No one could ever say he was a patient person.
“Oh, sorry. Got distracted. For the brief time that Luna was awake all she would say was 'she took my place. Why would she do that?' When Remus asked her who she told him Tonks. So, Hermione did her thing and was able to tell us that it was, in fact, Nymphadora Tonks' magic drenching the EP.” Ginny finished and sat down next to Harry.
“It's all my fault. Is she going to be all right? After he approached her and 'asked' her to never contact me again, she asked what she could do to help get rid of the son-of-a-bitch. I made her my most important spy.” Harry hung his head on the verge of tears.
“No, Harry. If anyone is to blame, it is Albus Dumbledore. He is an evil, conniving man that uses people to his own benefit and or gets rid of them. You have been and are doing everything you can to free our people from that evil. Unite us the way we should be. Nymphadora wanted the same as you and knew the risks, I'm certain. It is not, by any means, your fault.” Minerva chastised her former pupil.
“Will she be alright?”
“Poppy says she will make a full physical recovery.” Ginny answered evasively
“Physical recovery, Miss Weasley?” The transfiguration professor inquired.
“Yes. She isn't sure how her mental state will be after all she has gone through. It appeared that she had been under some kind of Imperius for several months.” The young lady answered.
“So, he must have had a power boost to over-ride my mom's spell. I knew I should have cast it myself. Tonks wanted to do it in case he tried to trace magical signatures.” Harry said to the two women
“So, why did the two of you gasp when you went over there? Is she in that bad of shape?” Harry asked. Needing to know the answer and hoping he didn't already.
“Welllll, she does have many cuts and bruises all over, Harry. But, her hair is a mousy brown color.” Ginny answered.
“You mean he.......NO! Not her too.” The magic around the room started to swell again. Only to stop when there was a whispered “Harry” in a hoarse voice.
“Sev! You're awake!! How do you feel? Are you alright?” Harry nearly jumped on the bed with the man.
“You saved me. I thought it was dream at first. How is Ms. Lovegood? And Nymphadora?” The dark man asked his lover.
Harry then proceeded to tell his husband all he had recently found out.
“It is not your fault My Love. If it is any consolation, when the madman voiced his intentions, I saw Tonks put her emergency portkey in Luna's hand and activate it. Then, she changed into her again. It seems that she felt it was a sacrifice better for her to make than allow it to happen to one so young.” Severus explained as he held his young man in his arms.
They all spent the remainder of the night in relative silence until Minerva left to her quarters to get some sleep thanking Mother Earth that it was Saturday. The other three settled in to also get some much needed sleep. Harry and Severus in Severus' bed once he expanded it and Ginny in the one right next to it.
Back at the castle:
“I have done all I can for her, Molly. The only things she needs now is time, rest and reassurances that she is still loved even though she can never have children of her own.” Poppy answered the other woman's question with a pointed look to her and her offspring.
“Oh my! She will never be able to carry? Are you sure?” The plump red headed woman asked; her lip quivering.
“No. The damage was too extensive.”
“It's OK, Mum. There are tons of little ones out there that could use a good home and loving family. They will be alright.” Bill put a comforting arm around his mother. Leading the now sobbing woman out of the room to give his brother some privacy with Pansy.
“I guess we will leave you two alone. Come on, Fred.” Draco reluctantly pulled his hand from his sister in everything but blood. They had been as close as two friends could be without being siblings.
“NO!! Dray, I need you to stay.” The young woman objected grabbing the blond's hand and pulling him back on the bed with her.
“But, Pans, you guys need some alone time. We don't want to intrude. You......OK. Hush honey, I'm here.” Draco couldn't help but give in when she started crying and looking at him with her puppy dog eyes.
“I think that is a tremendous idea. You and Fred should stay here for as long as the other two wish it. By the way, Mr. Malfoy, do you know where your father is? I have some business to discuss with him. Oh never-mind. Pipsy!” The medi witch called for the house elf Tom had assigned to help her out in the infirmary of the castle.
“Yes Miss Popsy” the petite elf said as she popped in.
“Would you please find Lord Malfoy and bring him here? I have matters to discuss with him and I believe he is unaware of Miss Parkinson's condition.” Poppy kindly asked. She was very fond of the little creature.
“Yes Miss” and she was gone with a snap.
“Madame Pomphrey, what matters do you have to speak to Uncle Luc about?” Pansy asked from her bed.
“Nothing too be concerned with, dear.” Was the response.
“That is refreshing to know.” Came an irritated voice from behind her.
She turned startled at the newcomer. Then she couldn't help but burst into laughter. Little Pipsy had apparently found Lucius getting ready for a shower. The aristocratic man was in nothing but a shower cap and a towel.
“Oh my! I'm so sorry Lucius. Here, let me get you something to put on.” She offered as she quickly went to a cabinet and got him a robe. Waving her wand to size it for the man.
“Pansy!! What happened? Why are you in the infirmary? Who hurt you?” Lord Malfoy rushed out as he made his way quickly to the bed the young lady was inhabiting. Opposite his son.
“Uncle Luc, I am fine. Someone impersonating Luna attacked me and, and, an........” That was as far as she got before the tears started flowing again.
Lucius then did a very un-Malfoyish thing. He climbed into the bed with her and held her whispering words of comfort and rubbing circles on her back in a soothing manner.
“Lucius, here is a robe to put on. I will just spell it on, shall I?”
At his nod, Poppy did just that. As he raised his head to thank her, she saw pain, hurt and concern in his eyes. In return, he saw knowledge and understanding in hers.
“Under the circumstances, my good lady, this is a conversation to be had here and now. Ask your questions as I am not moving.” Lucius said to his friend. He knew this was coming. He just hoped he had more time to prepare for it.
“Do they know?” She asked.
“They do not. We all felt it was for the best for them not to until they were older. Then, with the war and the Parkinsons being killed last year; it was never the right time. I should have known that you, of all people, would figure it out. No one ever could get anything past you.” Lucius said with a small smile.
“Now I know how everyone else feels when we talk, George.” Fred said to his brother.
“We get that a lot, too” Draco said to his boyfriend. Indicating himself and Pansy.
Realization hit two of the four teens with that one statement.
“Wha.....ho....whe....FUCK!!!! Really?” The younger Malfoy asked to older. At the same time, Fred gave a very enthusiastic “wicked”.
“Yes. It is true.” Lucius stated.
“What are you guys talking about” a very confused Pansy asked. Looking to the medi-witch for help.
“I'm sorry dear. This is one that Lucius will have to explain himself. I must return to Hogwarts and see about Severus.” Poppy replied and then left the room throwing a “good luck Lucius” over her shoulder as she did.
“Uncle Luc?”
“Well, as you both know, Basil Parkinson was my best friend. All our lives, we did everything together. Learned to walk and talk at the same time, how to fly a broom, everything. We planned on it remaining that way forever. We were as close as two can be that were not siblings”
“Like me and Dray?” Pansy asked.
Lucius just smiled down at her before continuing. “After years of trying of trying, neither of us had had any children. And we both wanted them so much since we were very young. Had everything planned out on how it would be. Holidays together, raising our children together, and maybe one day even a betrothal. However, things did not go quite the way we planned. All of us went to specialists to see why we had not conceived. As it turned out, Narcissa is barren and Basil was sterile.” He looked down and smiled at the young woman still in his arms after hearing her gasp.
“We found an ancient spell asking Mother Earth to bless one with a child. It required the blood of the parents. As such, Primrose and I donated ours in majority, Basil and Narcissa slightly less so. I said the incantation while she drank the mixture. We could have done it the old fashioned way but I couldn't bring myself to. He was my best friend and brother. And they were life-mates. A month later, we found out she was with child. It was a few more months when we found out it was twins. We had hoped and prayed that we were blessed with two children; one for each couple. Our prayers were indeed answered. Where I had always wanted a boy, Basil always wanted a daddy's girl. Both our wishes were granted. We knew when the two of you were born that we could never keep you apart for very long. Being twins meant you had a special bond that would hurt you if you were not near each other regularly. For the first several weeks; you, Pansy, cried and cried when you were away from Draco. And Draco, when you got a little older, Pansy was the only one you would let even near your toys. You both insisted on having beds in your rooms for the other. We never meant to hurt or deceive you in any way.”
“Wow. So, what you are saying is that we are twins and actually have FOUR parents?” Pansy asked, still a little confused and trying to take everything that was just told to her.
“Biologically, yes. You are both of all four but were given a potion to give each of you the characteristics of your perspective parents. I have the antidote if you would like it.” Lucius was a little nervous at what the reaction of his two children would be.
“Oh this is soo wonderful. I was so upset that my father wouldn't be able to walk me down the aisle but now I have you to do it!” Pansy threw her arms around the man she had loved her whole life.
Relief flooded Lucius' face for a brief moment before realization. “What do you mean walk you down the aisle?” He asked while flicking his panicked eyes to Draco and then the other twins in the room.
“Well, if I may; Lord Malfoy, I George Weasley, do hereby request permission to court your daughter. It is my intention to spend the rest of my life with her. To love, honor, and cherish for as long as we both live. To provide her with a stable, loving home filled with happy memories. To be an honorable husband and only have eyes and heart for her. Faithful forever.”
Lucius was stunned. A Weasley has formally requested, using an ancient ritual, to court his daughter that was raised as his niece. What was the world coming to. He was also delighted. The Weasleys are very well known for their faithfulness and protectiveness of family. And their breeding!
“I notice that you left out “the heir” part of that. Is there a reason why?” He asked. Raising an inquiring eyebrow at the young man.
No sooner had he finished speaking, Pansy burst into tears again. Lucius cringed at the glares he got from the three male teens.
“I would punch you except for the fact, you don't know what happened.” Draco hissed at his father as he wrapped his arms around his sister.
The man looked to the red head on the other side of the bed. His eyes pleading.
She was pregnant when she was attacked. The damage was very extensive and irreparable. She can never have children.” Fred explained.
The Head of the Malfoy family couldn't stop the tears that freely fell from his eyes as he once again held his daughter, and son, as they all cried for their loss.
Albus Dumbledore; leader and icon of the light, evil, conniving, two-faced snake of a bastard; stood in the cell of his captors with no human visitors for what he suspected to be two and a half days. The house elves had brought him food in that time. It smelled wonderful but he never got to taste it as he was still bound. The infernal creatures spelled the food into his stomach. Which they could have done from anywhere. Bringing it down here in front of him was just to torture him.
To say he was stunned by what Harry revealed to him before binding him, would be a severe understatement. He had already known that something was amiss with the school. Never in a million years would he have thought that someone had taken ownership of her. And that someone would be Harry Potter. Who, as it turned out, was the son of Sirius after all. How could they have managed to stay polyjuiced for so long. Albus knew he had cast the correct spells on James and Lily on their wedding day. But it was on Sirius instead of James which only intensified the already there life-mate bond.
However, with Black blood in him which most people didn't know was a direct line from Godric Gryffindor himself, combined with the Slytherin from his mother, Harry met the criteria to be able to claim ownership of Hogwarts castle. So, the castle only responds to him and those HE chooses to be there. Which would explain him being able to apparate into the cell. Well, that and the fact that Severus is his life-mate.
The old man's inner musings were interrupted as his cell was approached by a person in unfamiliar hooded robes.
“Why have you imprisoned me? I have done nothing to anyone that calls for me to be treated in this manner? I demand to speak to Voldemort.” He demanded as others entered the dungeon behind the first. Some in the same unfamiliar robes and others in the Death Eater robes. All with their hoods up shielding their identities.
“You are in no position to demand anything, Old man.” A voice he recognized came from the first figure.
“Miss Granger! What have they done to you? You were always such a good girl. Why don't you let me out and I will take you back to the Burrow and the Weasleys.” Albus was going to try anything he could to get out of this predicament.
“Let me think about that for a minute. Ummmmm, NO!! I am aware of all your manipulations and coercion of others. How you use people to get your way and what you do to them if they don't follow willingly. You are the icon of the Light. Head of the Order of the Phoenix. Headmaster of Hogwarts...”
“Actually, that would be me”
“MINERVA!! GET ME OUT OF HERE!” Dumbledore demanded of his Deputy Headmistress.
“I think not, Albus. You see, I am tired of sitting back and watching you corrupt, torture and defile the children of the wizarding world. Your spells are no longer controlling me and have not been for a while now. Thanks to Lily and the spell she created. She taught it to Molly before you killed her. She performed it on me right after Harry started school. Shame on you for what you have done to those of us that have trusted you.” The stern woman then stepped back behind Hermione.
“You see, YOU have no power or control over ANYONE here” Everyone pulled their hoods back to reveal themselves. “You are now, what you have always claimed others to be. Helpless. Ignorant. And unable to defend yourself. We, have all been allowed to let you know where are allegiance lies. Giving us the option as to whether we wish to retaliate for the wrongs done to us. Our Lord and his Heir have their own plan for you.” Hermione's speech continued as if she were never interrupted.
“Your Lord and his heir are....”
“Choose your next words very carefully.” Came a voice from behind all of them. Everyone there bowed to show their respect to the two that were just spoken of.
Seeing who it was, Albus Dumbledore just knew he was saved. He grinned menacingly, thinking he would win his escape after all.
Harry snapped his fingers putting a silencing spell on his former mentor.
“I know what you are thinking. And before anything else is said, I think you should know that we are not going to kill you. I've tried. Right after I got back here after Hogwarts. Nothing I used worked. From what Poppy says you are much older than you appear and you have absorbed so much magic from others and are using it to make a shield around you, that it would take years to get through it all to get to you. I don't have that kind of time to waste on you. Therefore, you will stay here, in this cell, until you die or we break through all the magic in which case you will die. Our followers have permission to come and go as they please; to do anything they wish to you for as long as they wish. And there is nothing you can do about it. Enjoy your new life, you son-of-a-bitch. Now, is there anything you would like to say before my uncle and I leave them to it?” Harry finished his speech and waved his hand releasing the spell.
“Tom” Dumbledore said.
Said man looked to his prisoner, giving him his full attention. “Yes”
“I command you to release me. NOW!!” The man smirked as he knew Tom could not refuse.
“NO!” was his reply. Then he started laughing and hugged his nephew.
“Thank you, Harry! I've wanted to say that for years. And did you see the look on his face. Priceless!!!”
The two laughing Slytherins then made their way out of the dungeons. Leaving behind a shocked and gaping mouthed Albus Dumbledore with their most wronged followers.
