-Chapter Twenty-Four-

Three weeks had passed quickly before there was anything else in the news about Dumbledore's death. Everyone figured that the order was keeping any and all news about the death away from the reporters that were constantly surrounding the castle.

Tests Show That Death of Headmaster Was Suicide!

By Rita Skeeter

The recent death of Albus Dumbledore struck the wizarding world and left it in mourning. Recent scans that were done on both the body and the Headmasters own wand showed that the spells were cast by the man himself. Leading authorities to believe, because there are no suspects and no signs of forced entry, that the Headmaster took his own life.

Yes faithful readers the sad truth is that Albus Dumbledore, three weeks ago, took his own life. Because of the spells that were cast by the mans wand it is believed that the Headmaster had killed himself to frame someone, who it was is currently unknown, because of the dark curses that were found to have been cast by the mans wand.

Who the headmaster planned to frame, as stated above, is currently unknown. However there are rumors that Harry Potter, the boy who lived, is missing. It leads one to wonder if the headmaster is trying to frame the Wizarding Worlds own boy hero.

This reporter will keep an ear out for any information and fill in the faithful readers as soon as wizardly possible.

On a side note to all students and parents, Hogwarts will remain closed for the time being and until a new headmaster is chosen.

Setting the paper down, Harry looked up and towards his parents and said, "Do you think that we should send the notes that he and Lily wrote to each other to the paper? Maybe start showing the people the truth about their precious headmaster."

"It would start to make the Wizarding world realize that maybe they were wrong to trust him." Voldemort said from his position beside Harry.

"We would have to wonder if everyone would think that the letters were fake though. They're just coming out now after his death, so there's going to be some thoughts that it's nothing but a ploy to pull people over to the dark side." James said leaning his head against Severus' shoulder and lacing his fingers with Lucius.

"But what we need to wonder is if more people will believe the notes over Dumbledore's image." Harry said holding a piece of bacon down for Tiger to take from him.

Without looking away from his mother, Harry let his hand drop down and he scratched Tiger behind the ears.

Purring, Tiger allowed him to scratch him then hopped down off of Harry's lap and stalked over to Voldemort. Looking up with a purr, Tiger proceeded to rub himself all over Voldemort's leg before he hopped up and laid down on his lap.

Raising an eyebrow, Voldemort looked from the lounging animal over to his smiling mate.

"Why is your pet sitting on my lap?" He asked even as his hand reached out to stroke the velvet like fur.

"He must like you." Harry said shrugging his shoulders.

"He didn't yesterday when he first got here." Voldemort said looking over at Harry.

Blushing, Harry said, "He probably thought that you were attacking me."

Grinning, Voldemort looked back towards Lucius and the others and answered Harry's previous question, "It should help us more because without Dumbledore alive to fight the allegations more will believe the notes. Many people decide to believe what they hear, and then when all of the facts come out they still believe what they first heard instead of trying to figure out which one is actually the truth."

"So then we should send the letters as soon as possible before they get out a whole edition that goes on and on about how wonderful Dumbledore was and how we should fight for his memory." Harry said. "Then again Rita seems like she's a dark bitch."

"Don't you mean witch?" James asked.

"No I said what I meant to say." Harry said grinning at his brother.

Chuckling, James shook his head and was about to say something when the door opened and both Draco and Sirius walked in looking tired yet satisfied.

As they walked over to their seat, Draco almost blushed at the knowing grin Harry gave him.

"Shut up." Draco whispered through clenched teeth when he sat down and wiggled around until he found a comfortable position.

Grinning, Harry shrugged his shoulders and said, "I wasn't going to say anything Draco...is there something that you want to tell us though?"

Sticking his nose up into the air, Draco proceeded to ignore Harry as he piled food onto his plate.

Curling his tongue up behind his teeth, Sirius leaned over towards Draco and whispered something into his ear that caused Draco to blush and glare at him at the same time.

Grinning at him, Sirius dropped a sloppy kiss onto Draco's cheek then turned to the others and asked, "So what was the conversation about?"

"How we're going to ruin Dumbledore's reputation and get the public on our side at the same time." Harry said.

"Well we actually know what we're going to do, we just need to follow through with the plan." James said correcting Harry.

"What are you going to do?" Draco asked looking around the table.

"Remember those notes that I found? We're going to send them in to the paper, Rita Skeeter to be exact. Of course it will be anonymously." Harry said tossing him an evil grin.

Throwing his head back with a laugh, Draco said, "Are you sure that you shouldn't be in Slytherin?"

"Well actually, the hat did want to put me there. I just begged it not to put me there." Harry said with an innocent smile.

When everyone took in what he said, Harry laughed at the looks of disbelief on their faces.

"Oh come on, is it really that big of a shock? I mean two out of the three of my parents were Slytherins." Harry said trying to bring everyone back.

Looking over at Severus, Lucius gave him a grin and asked, "What do you think Severus. Would you have been able to handle him if he was in Slytherin?"

"I don't know. He drove me crazy when he wasn't in my house." Severus said teasingly.

"Ah you know you love me." Harry said tossing a cheeky grin at the both of them. Pushing his empty plate away from him, Harry stood up and said, "As much fun as shocking you all is, I'm going to go up to my room and gather the notes to send to the paper."

"I'll join you when I finish eating." Draco said looking at Harry.

"Alright." Harry said nodding. Turning to face Voldemort, Harry bent down and took the kiss that he pressed against his lips.

"Don't forget that I won't be back until late tonight or not until tomorrow since I need to meet with my followers." Voldemort reminded him.

Making a face, Harry gave a groan and asked, "Are you sure you need to go?"

"Of course. I haven't had any meetings in a long while and I don't want to lose any supporters especially since the old fool is dead now." Voldemort said.

"My lord if I may ask, why wasn't Severus and I informed about this meeting?" Lucius asked.

"I want you and Severus to remain here while I meet with the rest of the followers. We were never able to find out who the spy in the group was and I won't risk them getting wand happy now that Dumbledore is gone."

"You think they might start shooting off spells to kill as many of the followers as they can?" Severus asked.

"I believe they might try to catch us off our guard at one of the meetings." Voldemort said nodding. "Did you ever find anything out about who it could have been?" He asked.

"I can only tell you that it isn't someone in the order. I've seen all of arms and none of them had the Dark Mark. I fear that it may be one of your higher ranked followers."

"Do you think you'll be in trouble tonight?" Harry asked with a frantic look on his face as he stroked his flat stomach.

"Don't worry I'll be fine." Voldemort said pulling Harry down to drop another kiss on his lips. "Go ahead and gather those letters, and I'll stop by our room before I leave."

Bitting his lip, Harry nodded then slowly turned and made his way out of the room.

When he stepped out of the room and the door swung shut behind him, Lucius opened his mouth to say something but was cut off when a sleek golden owl swooped into the room with a smoking red envelope attached to its leg.

Flinching at the sight, Lucius reached out and, almost timidly, untied the letter and relieved the owl of its burden. With a final sigh, Lucius slipped his fingernail underneath the magical seal and flipped the top of the letter up.

"Lucius Abraxas Malfoy, how dare you not inform me about what has been going on back there! I had to hear it from my own son! We could have silently divorced and I could have went out with the cute, not to mention rich, Island man that's been asking to court me! If my sister wasn't with me I would have sent her over there to curse you for your stupidity! I expect to have those papers in three days, Lucius or I will come back to the manor and force you to get them!"

Pushing away from the burning parchment, Lucius looked around and caught the grin on Draco's face.

"I didn't expect her to react like that." Draco said when he noticed his fathers raised eyebrow. "So does that mean I get to call Severus and James father now? Or do I call you mum?" Draco teased looking towards James.

Chuckling James said, "You can call me either one...although I think Harry will urge you to call me mum."

Getting a wide grin on his face, Sirius joked, "So I guess then I'll have to call you mum too."

Quickly standing up from the table, Draco said, "I'm just going to go and help Harry now." Taking a quick look around the room, Draco bent down and pressed a kiss against Sirius' lips then hurried out of the room.

Clearing his throat, Lucius said, "I only have one thing to say to you Black, and it's; if you hurt my son in anyway I'm going to hurt you. You'll wish you were still behind the veil."

"I'll die before I ever hurt him." Sirius said glaring at Lucius with a scowl on his face.

Staring at him, Lucius nodded his head then grinned, "Good I was hoping you would say something like that."

Pushing himself up from the table, Sirius moved over to James' side and pulled him up out of his chair as well.

"Come on James let's let the old people sit around and talk." Sirius said grinning at him.

"Sirius, we're the same age as they are." James argued.

"Yeah, but at least we're still playful."

Sharing a half hidden grin with his two dominants, James didn't say anything. "Do you mind?" James asked both Severus and Lucius.

"I don't mind James." Severus said looking over towards Lucius for an agreement or a disagreement.

"Neither do I. Go and enjoy some time together. You can even invite Remus over if you know where to reach him." Lucius said smiling at James.

Smiling widely at the both of them, James bent down and allowed them both to press a short kiss against his lips then stood up straight and bowed his head towards Voldemort.

"My lord, it was a pleasure seeing you today." James said.

"I agree James. I must ask that you keep an eye on Harry tonight. He hasn't been alone since we mated and I worry about how he might react since he's pregnant." Voldemort said before the two of them could disappear out of the room.

"Of course my lord. Shall I fire call or send an owl if he becomes frantic?" James asked.

"Send an owl if you need me back here. While most of my followers knew you were on my side I don't want to risk the spy finding out your back if they don't already know."

Nodding, James gave one last bow then made his way out of the room with Sirius who also bowed to Voldemort.

Standing up as well, Voldemort said, "I am leaving for the meeting shortly. Lucius if your soon to be ex wife should return before expected and starts throwing curses and hexes around make sure that Harry is out of the way. I don't want anything hitting him and hurting him or tthe baby." Voldemort said as the unsaid threat hung heavily over Lucius' head.

"Of course my lord. I promise that nothing will happen to Harry or the baby while you're away." Lucius said bowing his head.

Nodding, Voldemort spun on his heel and walked out of the room with his robes swirling around his feet.

Clearing his throat, Severus stood up and said, "I am going to start working on producing the potion for James to take."

Without waiting for an answer, Severus turned and made his way out of the room only to be stopped by Lucius' hand on his arm.

"Well I would like to speak with you so I'm going to accompany you." Lucius said stepping out into the hall with his head held up high.

"If you wish to." Severus said nodding slightly. Making his way down the hall with Lucius beside him the whole way.

Stepping into his personal potion lab in the basement, Severus immediately moved around and started to gather up the needed ingredients. Setting them all down beside the cauldron, Severus reached into his robe and pulled a scroll out and set that down beside the ingredients.

"Do you need help with anything?" Lucius asked as he watched Severus looking around and setting up the work station.

"Yes, could you come and help me prepare the ingredients for the Elixir of Life." Severus said carefully setting down the precious vial of Unicorn blood.

"What do you need an Elixir of Life for? I thought we were going to use the potion that our lord used?" Lucius asked as he started to dice some of the ingredients.

"Yes, originally I was going to, but I realized that the potion was used to create our lords body. We don't need to create a body, we're just giving James extended life and a creature. We're not using the entire unicorn blood, just enough for the potion to become the elixir. It's going to be a complicated procedure when we start it."

"Will it harm James?" Lucius asked with narrowed eyes even though he knew that Severus wouldn't hurt their submissive.

"No, it is just a tedious process and it will leave him tired after it is finished." Severus said as he worked on the blood replenishing potion that consisted mostly of Severus, Lucius, and Harry's blood.

"So what I wanted to talk to you about. I want to know if you still care about me." Lucius asked sounding almost snide.

"Of course I still care about you! Why would you ask such a thing?" Severus asked looking startled.

"I've noticed that you haven't been exactly affectionate towards me except when James is around, and at times it's almost like you're ignoring me altogether." Lucius said.

"I do still care about you Lucius. You know that the only ones I care about is my family, and you're apart of my family." Severus said pulling the taller man into a soft kiss. "I'm sorry that you thought that I didn't care about you anymore. I guess I'm still just used to acting like I blamed you for James leaving us so Dumbledore would leave you and Draco alone."

Pulling away, Lucius took a second to compose himself and said, "I don't know where that came from."

"It's alright Lucius...we can forget that it happened if you'd like." Severus suggested.

"I think that would be the best thing to do, but I want you to remember that you can still show me affection at times." Lucius said with a hint of warning in his tone. "I think if you forget I might have to put you over my knee." Lucius said with a look on his face.

"Just because I'm more submissive to you doesn't mean you can threaten me. I'm still a dominant." Severus said barely hiding the shiver that ran through his body. "Now get to work on that potion."

Standing there, the both of them worked in silence setting the potions to a boil and adding the ingredients when they needed to be.

"So do you plan on meeting with the Governing Board of Hogwarts about the new headmaster?" Severus asked finally breaking the silence.

"We haven't decided on a meeting date yet, but I believe that we will come to a decision quickly since it is interfering with the students education." Lucius said taking the potion off of the flame. "The elixir needs to sit uncovered over night, right?" He asked peering at the silver colored liquid.

"Yes, so you can leave that where it is for the night." Severus said bottling up the blood replenishing potion then set it beside the cauldron full of the elixir. Banishing the rest of the replenishing potion, Severus started out of the room followed by Lucius.

"I actually have an idea about who should take over the position of headmaster. I just need to discuss it with him before I say anything to the board, but since most of the board members are death eaters I don't see a problem." Lucius said.

"Who?" Severus asked interested.

"I can't tell you. You'll need to wait and find out." Lucius teased as they made their way up the stairs following the scent of James.

Stepping into the family library they stopped in shock at the sight that they saw: Sirius was hanging upside down by his ankles and was reaching out trying to grab James, who was holding a picture in his hands. James had ]green, gold, silver, and red hair that was plastered to his head and lipstick smeared across his face. Remus was sitting in one of the chairs and had his face buried in his hands, his shoulders shaking with repressed laughter, while Harry and Draco were slumped against one another laughing so hard that tears were running down their face.

Clearing his throat, Lucius loudly said, "What is going on here?"

Giving a yelp, both Draco and Harry fell off of the couch and onto the floor.

Snickering, Harry pushed himself up off of the floor and said, "Um Sirius and mum were telling us some of their favorite ways to wake each other up when they were in school, then Sirius decided it would be best if we saw."

Shaking his head, Severus made his way over to the other available couch and sat down. "Did you get those letters out already?" He asked Harry.

"Yeah, Draco and I picked out the worst one ones and sent them out along with an anonymously signed letter." Harry said.

"So I expect we shall be seeing an article in the paper tomorrow." Lucius said waving his wand to cancel the spells on James then pulled him into his arms to steal a kiss.

Rolling his shoulders, Harry stroked his stomach and gave a wide yawn. "I'm feeling tired. I'm going to head upstairs and take a nap." He said.

"Congratulations again Harry." Remus said standing up to give Harry a quick hug.

"Goodnight." Harry said stumbling out of the room without waiting for an answer.

Making his way into his room, Harry stumbled over to the bed and collapsed on top of it reaching out to stroke Tiger who was laying on Voldemort's pillow. Within seconds Harry was asleep still rubbing Tiger's ears.
