Chapter 22
Remus and Bill spent the next two weeks completely remodelling the cottage. Four more rooms had been added, and the kitchen and living room had been enlarged to twice the size it previously was. Hopefully, the new additions would be more than enough to comfortably accommodate everyone this summer.
Remus was a little worried, though. Considering Malfoy's actions in the past, his mere presence was sure to cause a lot of problems during his stay here. And the thought of what Harry's mates would do to the boy the first time he opened his mouth to insult Harry was giving Remus nightmares. He did not want to have to explain to Severus why he was sending Malfoy back to him in pieces.
"Having second thoughts?" asked Bill quietly. "We can think of something else, you know. The Malfoy brat doesn't have to stay here if you're that worried about it."
Remus smiled ruefully. "Just a little bit. I keep envisioning Octavius or Zenith ripping Malfoy apart simply because he couldn't resist the urge to insult Harry."
Bill snorted at that. "I honestly don't think we have to worry about that. Harry knows how to keep his boys in line."
"I hope you're right," said Remus with a sigh. "Now we'll just have to worry about Ron."
"You won't have to worry about that either. Mum and Hermione will keep that boy in line," said Bill laughingly. "Has Severus told you when to expect the boy?"
"In one week," said Remus. "And Harry gets out of school two days later."
"Mum said that the family would be here in two weeks," said Bill dryly. "They're heading to Gringotts as soon as the kids get off the train to take a portkey here."
Remus laughed at that. It didn't surprise him at all that Molly was planning to come here as soon as the family was together. She probably would have been here as soon as she found out about Gwen if she could have.
"Only one week of peace and quiet left. Whatever shall we do with that time?" asked Bill, leering playfully at the werewolf.
Unfortunately, the monitor alarm on Gwen went off just seconds before they heard her start crying. Bill groaned softly. Every damn time. It seemed that every time he and Remus could finally get a little alone time, that was when Gwen decided she needed their attention most.
"I'll get her. She's probably just hungry," said Remus. "She'll probably be back to sleep in no time."
Remus hurried to the nursery and lifted the crying baby out of the crib. He carried her over to the changing table and deftly changed her soiled nappy for a fresh one before carrying her to the kitchen to prepare her a bottle. After feeding her, Remus fully expected her to fall asleep again, but she stubbornly stayed awake, looking at her surroundings curiously.
Bill walked into the kitchen, took one look at the happily cooing baby, and sighed. There went his plans for Remus. He couldn't stay disappointed for long, though, as he watched Remus play with their daughter. It was an utterly adorable sight.

As soon as the last student left for the day, Severus began his search for Draco. Unfortunately, the blond had become adept at hiding during the last two weeks, so finding him was going to be a challenge. Severus could only hope Dumbledore waited until end of term exams were over before making his move. That, at least, should give him two more days.
Severus searched the Slytherin common room first with no luck. A search of the dungeons and the first four floors of the castle yielded no results, either. He finally overheard one of the Gryffindors commenting to her friend about Malfoy creeping around the seventh floor and hurried up the stairs. Severus walked swiftly down the seventh floor corridor but saw no sight of his blond-haired student. He was just about to give up when a door suddenly appeared in the wall in front of him. The door opened, and Draco walked out of a hidden room.
Draco froze when he saw Severus. Before he could second guess himself, he reached into his pocket and tossed a handful of black powder into the air, dousing the corridor in an impenetrable darkness. Keeping his hand firmly on the wall, Draco ran through the darkness, headed for the astronomy tower.
Severus cursed the darkness blinding him and followed the sound of Draco’s retreating footsteps. He finally broke through the darkness, but Draco was nowhere in sight. However, from where he stood, the only place the boy could run was up to the astronomy tower, so he headed up the stairs.
Severus reached the top of the stairs just as Dumbledore fired a cutting curse toward Draco. With surprising speed, he ran to the blond, tackling him to the floor, wincing as the spell grazed his back. He immediately had to roll them out of the way of another spell.
“Severus, what are you doing?” Albus demanded angrily. “If we want to win this war, that boy has to die. I’m the only one who can end it. You know this, Severus.”
Severus stared at the Headmaster in disbelief. The man was absolutely insane, and there was only one thing Severus could do in the face of this insanity. He raised his wand to end Albus’ life, but before he could utter a single spell, the door to the astronomy tower burst open and several Death Eaters ran into the room.
Severus silently cursed and grabbed Draco, pressing the portkey he’d arranged against the blond’s chest and activating it. They landed gracelessly in the sand just outside Bill’s cottage. Draco immediately scrambled to his feet, staring at his surroundings wildly.
“Where am I? Where have you brought me?” he demanded frantically.
“Calm down, Draco. You’re safe here,” said Severus softly, walking up to the front door and knocking.
A few moments later, the door opened, and Draco was shocked to see Professor Lupin. “You brought me to the werewolf?”
“He and Bill Weasley are providing sanctuary for you,” said Severus impatiently. “Or would you rather I let Albus kill you?”
“Why don’t you two come in?” asked Remus, already feeling a headache coming. “Would you like anything to eat? We were just about to eat supper.”
“Yes, thank you,” said Severus, dragging Draco to the kitchen.
Draco froze in shock when he saw Bill sitting at the table, feeding a blonde-haired infant. “What the bloody hell is going on, Severus?”
Severus sighed and pushed Draco down into a chair before taking a seat himself, wincing when his wounded back came into contact with the back of the chair. “I already told you. Bill and Remus agreed to give you sanctuary here.”
“Provided that you swear an Oath to do no harm to either Gwen or Harry,” Remus added firmly.
“Wait, Potter’s here?” asked Draco incredulously.
“Not at the moment,” said Remus. “However, school holidays start in four days, so he will be here then.”
“School holidays? But he- Never mind,” said Draco with a weary sigh. He was suddenly exhausted. He’d gone months with little sleep in his haste to complete the task the Dark Lord had given him, and then Dumbledore had just tried to kill him, and now he was apparently going to be living with a werewolf, a Weasley, and Potter. To protect his sanity from all the craziness around him, he was just going to eat and go to bed. He would deal with everything some other day. “I’m not really hungry right now. Can you just show me where I’m supposed to sleep?”
“Of course,” said Remus. He turned to Bill and held out his hands. "Let me have her, and I'll put her to bed." Taking Gwen from Bill, Remus showed Draco to his room and left the blond to his rest. He could only hope the boy remained as polite once the rest of the family showed up. He then took Gwen to the nursery and put her in the crib, setting the monitoring alarms around the crib in case she woke up.
As Remus walked back to the kitchen, he heard Severus say, “The old man really did try to kill Draco. I would have ended the bastard’s life before we left, but Draco did manage to do one part of his mission right.”
“And what was that?” asked Bill curiously.
“Find a way to get the Death Eaters into the school,” said Severus grimly. “Several Death Eaters came up to the astronomy tower just as I was about to kill Dumbledore, so I just grabbed Draco and portkeyed away.”
Bill and Remus just stared at Severus in horror. “What about the students, though?” asked Remus worriedly.
“I don’t know, Remus,” said Severus in a frustrated growl. “I do know one thing, though. Minerva and Filius will protect the students at any cost. If anyone should worry, it’s the morons who took on the task to infiltrate Hogwarts.”
Bill had the urge to storm to the Malfoy brat’s room and beat the hell out of the kid. If his brothers and sister were hurt because of this, he still may do just that. What kind of idiot was Malfoy, letting a bunch of Death Eaters into a school full of children?
“Why would he do that?” asked Remus in a horrified whisper. “Surely he knows just what they’re capable of.”
“He didn’t have a choice, Remus. The Dark Lord threatened to kill his parents if he didn’t complete his task,” said Severus wearily.
"He had a damn a choice, Severus," snapped Bill angrily. "As much as I love my family, I wouldn't sacrifice a whole school of kids just to save them. Hell, Mum would kill me if I even entertained the idea of doing that. He had a choice, and he made a fucking crappy one."
"He's not the first child to put others in danger in an effort to save a loved one," said Severus pointedly, referring to Harry's excursion to the Ministry of Magic to save Sirius.
"Harry didn't put them in danger, though. They did that themselves when they refused to allow Harry to go alone," said Remus calmly. "However, you do have a point. People tend to do stupid things when it comes to protecting those they love. Besides, Draco's probably blaming himself enough right now without us adding to it."
"I have to get back to the school," said Severus abruptly. "Minerva is probably wondering where I am."
"Send Dobby with a note later, Severus, and let us know what happened tonight," said Remus firmly.
Severus nodded curtly and pulled another portkey from his pocket, activating it quickly.

Albus almost howled in fury when his prey disappeared in front of his eyes. He turned to face the Death Eaters invading his school and fired a Killing Curse at the nearest person. The curse hit the Death Eater, killing him instantly. Albus quickly cast the spell to separate a piece of his soul and store it in the Dumbledore family ring, but before he could complete the spell, a clawed hand punctured his back. He looked over his shoulder and saw a very feral looking Fenrir Greyback smirking smugly at him. He desperately tried to draw in enough air to finish the spell, but all he could do was gasp and wheeze as his punctured lungs filled with his own blood.
Greyback laughed uproariously as the Headmaster fell to his knees, choking on his own blood. "I thought you'd put up more of a fight, old man. I really don't see why the Dark Lord was so afraid of you." He casually licked the blood off his fingers and then kicked Albus in the stomach, lifting the old wizard's body completely off the ground and sending him flying off the astronomy tower. "What a waste of time."
With the major obstacle out of the way, Greyback howled happily and ran out of the astronomy tower in search of better prey. Unfortunately for him, the first person he encountered was Filius Flitwick, who wasted no time in casting a Cutting curse on the werewolf. The curse hit Greyback on his right knee, completely severing his leg. Greyback crashed to the ground with a howl of pain. Glaring up at the diminutive professor, he snarled in anger and began crawling toward his prey.
Flitwick stared at the injured werewolf with pitying eyes and raised his wand once more. He couldn't allow this rabid animal to hurt his students, so that left only one thing for him to do. Whispering another cutting curse, he watched regretfully as the werewolf's head was severed cleanly from the rest of his body.
A bright green light speeding toward him had Flitwick dodging behind a nearby statue. He peeked around the statue and saw three more Death Eaters leaving the astronomy tower. With lightning quick reflexes, Flitwick darted out from behind the statue, casting three spells in quick succession, and ducked behind a suit of armor. Only one of the spells managed to hit, but Flitwick was by no means finished. He darted out from behind the armor and cast four spells this time before ducking back behind the statue. This time, two of the spells hit, but they both hit the same person.
Unfortunately, Flitwick was forced to abandon his hiding spot when the statue shattered into little pieces. He stepped away from the rubble and boldly faced the remaining Death Eater. There was a long moment of perfect stillness before both opponents burst into motion, shooting spells at an astonishing pace. However, despite his normally happy personality, Professor Flitwick showed why he was the reigning Duelling Champion in his younger years, beating his opponent soundly.
Flitwick paused only long enough to catch his breath before moving to the three stunned Death Eaters and binding them securely. He levitated the three bodies into the air and guided them down the stairs toward the infirmary. Hopefully Madame Pomfrey had enough potions in stock to keep the prisoners sedated until the Ministry could be alerted.

Severus landed in the Entrance Hall and immediately ran for the stairs. He ordered every student he passed to get to the nearest classroom and stay out of sight. When he reached the fourth floor, he saw Minerva duelling against two Death Eaters and quickly stunned them from behind.
“Severus, where have you been? The school is being overrun by Death Eaters,” asked Minerva irritably. “How did they even get onto school grounds without alerting the wards?”
“I don’t know,” lied Severus. “Where is Albus?”
“I have no idea,” said Minerva with a frustrated sigh. “He left the school earlier this evening on some errand.”
Not even two minutes after she said that, they heard an anguished cry from outside. They rushed to the nearest window and saw Hagrid cradling Albus’ body in his arms. Minerva gasped in shock at the sight.
Severus pulled her away from the window. “There’s no time for that right now, Minerva. There still may Death Eaters in the school, and we have to keep the students safe.”
“Y-You’re right, Severus,” said Minerva. “I’ll search this floor. You take the fifth floor.”
“Be careful, Minerva,” said Severus before running for the stairs.
When he reached the fifth floor, Severus was shocked to see Granger and the three Weasley siblings standing with six Death Eaters stunned at their feet. Granger smiled in relief when she saw him.
“Professor Snape, thank goodness you’re here. We took care of these guys, but we saw four Death Eaters heading for the library,” said Hermione quickly.
Just then, they saw Professor Flitwick heading down the stairs with three Death Eaters floating behind him. Severus looked at the four students. “You four help Flitwick with the stunned Death Eaters. I’ll go to the library after the others.”
“Yes, sir,” said Hermione quickly. The five teens quickly levitated the Death Eaters and followed Professor Flitwick to the infirmary.
Severus rushed to the library, hoping to reach the Death Eaters before they encountered any students. However, when he burst into the library with wand raised, he immediately had to behind a bookshelf when a barrage of spells shot toward him. He peeked around the bookshelf and saw several Gryffindor students standing with wands ready.
“Ten points from Gryffindor for attacking a professor,” said Severus dryly, smirking slightly as all of the students immediately lowered their wands. He cautiously stepped out from behind the bookshelf, snorting at the sight of the four Death Eaters lying on the floor. He’d never been more thankful that Potter had taken it upon himself to teach his classmates Defence more than now.
“Sorry, Professor Snape, we thought you were a Death Eater,” said Neville sheepishly.
Severus sighed and pointed to Longbottom, Finnegan, and the Patil twins. “You four levitate them to the infirmary. Thomas and Brown, you two escort the younger students back to their common rooms and be quick about it.”
“Yes, sir.”
The students quickly scrambled to obey Professor Snape, and within a few short minutes, the library was still and silent. A few moments later, Minerva stormed into the room.
“Severus, is everyone alright? I just saw several of my students levitating Death Eaters to the infirmary,” she said in a rush.
“You have Potter and his Defence Association to thank for that,” said Severus softly. “Those students single-handedly took down ten fully trained wizards because of that extra training.”
Minerva smiled slightly. “He’d make a wonderful professor, wouldn’t he? Did you know that he taught every single one of the D.A. members how to cast a Patronus?”
Severus’ eyes widened in shock. No, he didn’t know that. The Patronus Charm was a spell that fully trained wizards had trouble with, and Potter had managed to teach a bunch of kids how to do the spell?
“It’s no wonder they managed to survive that fiasco at the Ministry last year,” muttered Severus softly. He looked up at Minerva and asked, “Have you alerted the Ministry yet?”
Minerva sighed softly. “Filius fire-called the Auror department when he got to the infirmary. Kingsley should be here shortly.” She looked wearily at Severus. “Albus is dead, Severus.”
“Don’t mourn for him, Minerva,” said Severus coldly. “His death was caused by his own foolishness.” With that said, Severus stalked out of the library. He didn’t feel any regret for Albus’ death, and he wasn’t about to pretend that he did. As far as he was concerned, Albus got what he deserved.
Severus made his way up to the astronomy tower. He needed to make sure the old coot hadn’t managed to create a horcrux before he died. He grimaced in disgust when he stepped over Greyback’s headless corpse and continued up the stairs into the tower. Severus felt his breath catch in his throat when he saw the dead Death Eater in the tower. Obviously, Albus had decided to use whatever was available to create his horcrux. Now he just needed to find the damn thing.
A glint of gold by the tower window drew Severus’ attention. It was the Dumbledore family ring. He leaned down and picked it up, casting several spells on the ring to check for dark magic. The spells didn’t reveal any dark magic, but he wasn’t going to take any chances. Severus decided to have Harry’s Shadow Demon lover check it as well.
“Dobby!”
The house-elf appeared a few seconds later. “Yes, Master Snapey?”
Severus handed Dobby the Dumbledore ring. “I want you to take this to Harry. Tell him to have the Shadow Demon check it for traces of dark magic. Then I want you to stop by Bill Weasley’s cottage and tell them that his siblings are perfectly fine.”
“Yes, Master Snapey,” said Dobby eagerly, disappearing with a loud crack.
Severus sighed wearily. Now it was time to deal with the aftermath of this attack. It was going to be a long night.

Harry was studying for his upcoming Blood Rites final when Dobby popped into his room. Dobby immediately held the ring out to Harry and said, “Master Snapey told Dobby to bring this to Harry Potter Sir’s Shadow Demon to check for traces of dark magic.”
Harry slowly took the ring from Dobby with a bemused frown. “Snape wants Octavius to see if there are shadows of dark magic on the ring?”
Dobby nodded his head enthusiastically. “Exactly that, Harry Potter Sir.”
“Well, Octavius is still in class right now. Just leave the ring here, and I’ll have him check it when he comes in. Can you come back in two hours?” asked Harry, staring at the ring in his hand warily.
“Dobby can do that. Dobby needs to visit werewolf and werewolf’s Weezy too,” said Dobby. “They needs to know that other Weezy’s is fine.”
“Did something happen at Hogwarts?” asked Harry curiously.
“Hoggywarts was attacked,” said Dobby, a little more subdued now. “But only Dumbdore was hurts in the attack. Dumbdore won’ts be bothering Harry Potter Sir no more.”
“I see,” said Harry faintly. It suddenly all made sense. Dumbledore was dead, and now Snape was sending a ring that was significant to the Headmaster to check for dark magic. Snape was afraid Dumbledore had managed to create a horcrux before he died. “Thank you, Dobby, for bringing this to me. I’ll have Octavius check it and give it back to you when you return.”
Dobby nodded quickly and popped out of the room.
Harry hurriedly put the ring on the bedside table, not taking any chances in case the ring truly was a horcrux. And if it was one, he would have to find a way to destroy it before it could be used to revive the manipulative bastard. Maybe dragon fire could destroy, especially Zenith’s fire.
Of course, now there was no way Harry could concentrate enough to study for his final exam. The mere thought of having a piece of Dumbledore’s soul near him was enough to give him the creeps. Sighing in frustration, Harry left the ring on the table and went into the common room. Shadow and Eclipse were curled up on the sofa asleep, so Harry decided to join them for a bit.
Transforming into his fox form, Harry jumped up onto the sofa and wiggled his way between the two kits, which were now bigger than he was. Shadow and Eclipsed just nuzzled the smaller kit affectionately and went back to sleep, curling around their master protectively. Pyralis, not wanting to be left out, flew over to the sofa and perched on Shadow’s shoulder as he gently preened Harry’s dark fur.
An hour later, Harry was pulled from his impromptu nap by a flash of light. He blearily opened his eyes and growled softly when he saw Zenith with a camera in his hands. He wriggled out from between Shadow and Eclipse and jumped to the floor, transforming back as he did.
“What is it with everyone taking pictures of me while I’m trying to sleep?” asked Harry irritably.
“You’re adorable when you’re asleep,” said Zenith cheerfully.
“And I’m not when I’m awake?” asked Harry, scowling up at the Dracken.
“You’re sexy when you’re awake,” said Zenith easily. He quickly raised the camera and snapped a few photos of the scowling brunet. He then put the camera away before Harry could try to take it from him. “I thought you were going to study for your Blood Rites exam today. Are you done already?”
“No, I couldn’t bloody well concentrate because of that stupid ring Dobby brought me,” said Harry in frustration.
“What ring?” asked Zenith curiously.
“Snape had Dobby bring it to me to check for dark magic because he’s afraid Dumbledore may have created a horcrux, using it as his soul’s container, before he died,” said Harry wearily.
“It just never ends, does it?” sighed Zenith. He tugged gently on one of Harry’s ears. “Go get your books, and I’ll help you study until Octavius gets here. I’m sure I can find some way to keep your mind off that ring.”
“And you think books are going to help you do that?” asked Harry incredulously.
Zenith just laughed and pushed him toward his bedroom. “You’d be surprised at what books can help me do.”
Harry reluctantly got his books, studiously avoiding the ring on his nightstand, and went back out into the common room. Dropping his books heavily onto the table, he looked up at Zenith expectantly. “Where do we start?”
“Why don’t I just quiz you first?” asked Zenith. “That will be the easiest way to figure out what you need the most help with.”
Thirty minutes later, Harry dropped his head onto the table with a weary groan. Zenith was always such a cruel task master when it came to tutoring him. In a mere thirty minutes, the Dracken had managed to pound the information indelibly into his brain. There was absolutely no way he wouldn’t ace this exam tomorrow after today’s grueling session.
“No more, Zenith. My brain just can’t handle any more information right now,” Harry whined pitifully. Fortunately, the door opened just then, revealing Octavius. “Octavius, thank goodness you’re here. Zenith is trying to kill from information overload.”
Zenith just laughed at Harry's antics and shut the book he had open in his lap. "Fine, we'll stop for now. Besides, you actually have something a little more important to do now that Octavius is here."
Harry jumped to his feet and grabbed Octavius' arm, pulling him toward his bedroom. "That's right. You need to check this for traces of dark magic." He picked up the Dumbledore ring with a grimace of disgust and quickly handed it to Octavius. "Severus wants to make sure Dumbledore didn't manage to make a horcrux before he died."
Octavius looked at the ring, cringing slightly at the numbers of shadows clinging to the ring. "There's dark magic all over this ring. Now whether it's a horcrux or not is a different story." He tapped his finger against the ring. "Animus Aperio." A wispy blue light flickered amidst the black shadows.
"Does that mean it's a horcrux?" asked Harry hesitantly, staring at the glowing ring in horror.
"Not completely. It looks like he started the spell but never got the chance to finish it," said Octavius.
:"So what does that mean exactly? Do we need to destroy the ring?" asked Harry bluntly.
"It looks like he started the spell, but he didn't have time to completely anchor his spell to the ring. A piece of his soul did manage to latch onto the ring, but it's not enough to be able to revive him in any way. However, I do think we should destroy the ring just in case," said Octavius calmly. "Harry, see if you can burn it."
Harry gingerly took the ring back from Octavius and placed it in the empty fireplace. Forming a fireball in his hand, he threw it at the ring, watching in dismay as the flames died almost instantly, leaving the ring fully intact. "Any other suggestions?" A memory of Voldemort's diary suddenly came to mind. "You know, I used a basilisk fang to destroy the last horcrux I found."
"Basilisk venom," said Octavius thoughtfully. He suddenly flicked his wrist, moving all the furniture up against the walls. "Zenith, turn into your dragon form. Your dragon fire is a lot hotter than Harry's flames. Maybe that will be enough to destroy the ring."
Zenith reluctantly changed into his dragon form, not at all happy about being in such a cramped space. Deciding to just get this done as quickly as possible, he spit two fireballs at the ring. The flames were so hot, the bricks around the fireplace were charred black. However, the ring itself remained unscathed.
"Well, that didn't work," said Octavius as Zenith changed back.
"You could always shadow me to Hogwarts, and we can go into the Chamber of Secrets to get some basilisk venom," Harry suggested. "After all, it's not like we have to worry about Dumbledore at the moment."
"Or we could just tell Snape what he needs to destroy the ring and let him handle it," said Zenith firmly. "Dumbledore is not your only enemy back in England, and I would prefer it if you waited until you were more prepared before returning."
"But Snape can't get into the Chamber," said Harry.
"Snape is a very resourceful man, Harry. I'm sure he'll be able to come up with something," said Zenith.
"Zenith's right, Harry. You don't want to tempt fate by returning to England before you're ready," said Octavius. "As far as we know, Voldemort still thinks you're dead at the moment."
Harry sighed and reluctantly agreed with his mates. It wasn't as though he actually wanted to return to England so soon. He just wanted to make damn sure there was no possible way of Dumbledore ever returning . But Zenith and Octavius were right. Harry would just have to trust Snape to find a way to destroy Dumbledore's horcrux for now.
A few minutes later, Dobby popped back into the room. "Dobby is back, Harry Potter Sir."
Harry handed him the ring and a letter for Snape. "Make sure you get those to Snape, Dobby. It's very important."
Dobby puffed his chest out proudly. "Dobby wills, Harry Potter Sir. Dobby wills not fail."
"Thank you, Dobby, and be careful," said Harry sincerely.
Dobby smiled happily at Harry for his concern and popped out of the room.
Once the house-elf was gone, Octavius grabbed Harry by the arm, pulling him toward the bathroom. "Come on, Harry. You and I are going to take a bath while Zenith goes down to the dining hall to get us something to eat."
"But-" Harry started to protest.
"Go on, Harry," said Zenith. "I'll be back with supper by the time you get out of the bath."
Harry sighed and let his mates take care of him. He knew the situation with the ring had unsettled them. It made the danger Harry would eventually have to face all too real, and they didn't like the idea one bit. There was nothing they could do about it, though, so they were bound and determined to pamper and protect him as much as they could until that time.
With Dumbledore’s death, Harry just knew that his peaceful days were coming to an end. He just hoped he was ready when it happened.
