Darn it How could I have forgotten that Andromeda needed to be in this story more? And Shacklebolt...geez me and my twisted but creative mind...
Chapter 24- Twins and Gringotts…
It was Christmas Eve…
Harry needed a break from parenting and worrying about the upcoming trial so Draco proposed they visit Fred and George's shop in Diagon Alley.
Harry grinned, "Maybe we can pick up presents for Colin, Seamus, Nemia and Hermione. They need a laugh…"
"I still can't believe that the person Artemis liked was Luna Lovegood of all people. How are your parents taking it?" Draco asked as he pulled Harry close, he'd talked Luna and Artemis into watching their goddaughters.
"Remus thinks it's funny; they'll have a daughter in law and a son in law anyway. Luna did get high marks despite her head in clouds aura." Harry said as he rest his cheek on Draco's chest and hugged him.
Draco wrapped his cloak around them so they could Apparate.
They appeared right in front of Fred and George's shop at 93 Diagon Alley…
"Happy Christmas!" came an unfamiliar voice.
Harry noticed an average size lad, young looking wearing magenta robes. He grinned, "Happy Christmas to you too. I've heard so much about this place I decided to check it out." He wondered if this kid should be at Hogwarts…
"Weasleys Wizards Wheezes, this is our first branch. We purchased Zonko’s this past spring and we had it up and running in Hogsmeade by the time term started. We're very proud of that. My name is Bree, I've been working here since the place opened."
"Bree? That's a unique name." Draco said, he thought there had been a pureblood by that name a long time ago…
"I don't remember a Bree at Hogwarts." Harry said.
"That's because I didn't go." The younger guy scowled.
"I see." Draco nodded he was a squib then.
"I'm no squib if that's what you're thinking."
Harry interrupted them, "Are Fred and George in? Fred promised to show me around." He was after all part of the operation.
Bree scowled even more, "They should be. It's not like I actually check. I live upstairs and I open on time." He made his way into the back…
"He seems so disagreeable. I wonder why they keep him on." Draco sneered a bit.
Harry gently stepped on his foot, "Hush. You insulted him."
"How?" Draco was incredulous, stifling a grimace as his foot was stepped on.
"It was the way you said you didn't remember a Bree at Hogwarts and 'I see'. You practically accused him of being a squib." Harry hissed under his breath, anyone would be upset.
"Harry! How's my favourite ex-Lion?" Fred said picking him up and spinning him around before Draco or Harry could stop him.
Bree scowled even more.
"Draco." Fred said politely after putting Harry down.
"Hey Fred. You promised to show me around if I came by. I wasn't too busy." Harry said hugging him; he was affectionate around the people he cared about.
"Harry!" George came through the front door. "How's my favourite little brother?"
Bree stammered, "Little brother? I've never seen him before. I've seen your dad and your brothers Charlie and Percy as well as Bill on occasion but never this one. He doesn't even look like you. He's not a redhead…"
Fred sighed, "Merlin Bree, I'm sorry. Did you think I was flirting again?" He scratched his head; "You see we've known Harry since he was eleven, at one point we were in same house at Hogwarts. We were lions together, until that crazy Dumbledore tried to expel us for trying to undermine his age-line to enter in the Triwizard Tournament. His sister put us up in one of his properties, after Harry won the Tournament she gave us his winnings and we used it to buy this place. It was his money that paid your salary until we started showing a profit."
Draco heard just the word flirting and snickered, "Fred wouldn't dare flirt with Harry," he lifted Harry's left hand, "See? Fred and George attended our Bonding yesterday."
"You went to a bonding?" Bree crossed his arms, "You said you had business."
"We did." George tried to reassure him, "You see, until yesterday Harry wasn't aware he was our business partner or that he was an owner/investor."
Bree scoffed as if he didn't believe him.
"It's true, you can ask anyone who was there." Harry smiled, "I wasn't even aware we were still friends until yesterday. My world fell apart soon after they left school, I used to be best friends with their brother Ron."
"Ron the nasty rotten prat. He failed to make the cut to be an Auror until Finnigan was dropped from the program. Dad said he was gloating." Fred rolled his eyes, "He has no problem hurting people if it suits him. I wouldn't be surprised if he made Finnigan's injuries sound worse then they were so he had a good shot of replacing him in the training."
Harry gasped, "That's just awful. I heard that he was tricked into Bounding with Lavender and no one remembers Hermione."
George was thoughtful, "Hm…sounds like something that old coot was into. He did come by the store this summer. Didn't stay long but left in a foul mood."
"He had Hermione under the Imperious for years." Draco said swiftly.
"Ha! I bet he came to try to put us under his spell. Too bad Georgie and I already knew we weren't affected by the Imperious at all." Fred snickered.
Draco raised an eyebrow, "How would you know that?"
Fred shrugged, "We got sort of drunk one night and tried to cast the Imperious curse on each other."
"That was the last time I let you two have wands while drunk. Seriously, it's like I'm your mother or something." Bree muttered.
"Wait! Are you two? I mean you three?" Harry clapped his hands, "You're both seeing Bree!"
The employees of Weasleys Wizard Wheezes' jaws dropped.
"How did you," Fred blinked.
"Simple, Bree was grouchy thinking you were flirting or cheating or something. Fred, you acting like you had to apologize for seeming to flirt when you weren't. George tried to calm Bree down when he seemed upset with you."
"Sharp isn't he?" Fred laughed.
George moved to try to hug Bree who stepped away as if embarrassed by the whole situation.
"He is cute though. Just an observation." Harry said leaning into Draco, "I thought you'd like these." He reached into his robes to pull out photos, "Here, they're pictures of your nieces."
Bree's ear twitched slightly.
"They were so cute but tiny, can you believe we were ever that small Bree?"
Bree rolled his eyes, "Really? I'm shocked. Here and I thought you emerged fully grown from your father's head like Athena the Greek goddess of wisdom."
Draco chuckled, "He has an interesting sense of humour."
"He helps out with running the front, he came up with these things called Tacos- it's a Muggle food. He thought they should do something like make the person eating them fart. We called them Bree's farting taco and they've proven to be quite a hit in our Hogsmeade store." George gushed.
Bree just rolled his eyes, "You forget that you tricked me into being a product tester."
"You agreed." George protested.
"I didn't realize it wasn't exactly in the contract."
"Or other duties as requested by the senior staff." Fred quoted.
"Oh does that include your bed? I prefer mine anyway."
"But Bree yours is just a cot. You won't let us get you something nicer." George sighed.
"Fred's concept of nicer is something big enough for him and I. That's my bed, you'd never give me a moment's peace if it could hold more then one person." Bree snorted.
"You remind me of Uncle Severus when I was younger. Remus was always trying to do nice things for Severus but Uncle Sev wouldn't let him" Draco chuckled, "Uncle Sev didn't start to relax until he was pregnant."
"Don't go giving these two ideas. I don't want kids. Especially with these two, can you imagine what holy terrors they would be?" Cash snorted
"You wouldn't have to carry them Bree, we could always adopt," George started.
"What if I decided I wanted Fred's kid?" Bree rolled his eyes.
Fred looked smug.
"I didn't say I wanted that either!" Bree scowled, "Give you two a inch and you think you're entitled to a whole yard."
Draco noticed the time, "I'm supposed to meet Remus. I'll come back for you later. Why don't you look around a bit more, maybe you can find a few things for your friends."
"I know you don't want to disappoint him again." Harry smiled, "I'll be right here."
"See you soon." Draco said kissing him lightly and leaving in a swirl of robes.
XoooooX
Draco slipped away leaving Harry to catch up with the twins. Remus had insisted he meet him at Gringotts…
He was surprised to see Adrian and Seamus there…
Remus nodded, "You're here. I'm going to tell you something only Artemis knows. Whether you tell your mates I don't care but this is from one father to another." He meant sire when he said father but they would understand.
Adrian was confused but he was willing to listen.
Seamus was worried about Colin; he was away from him for the first time since he'd gotten so sick. Even though he knew that there were plenty of house elves and a healer to look after him he couldn't help but feel his place was with his Bondmate.
Remus gestured for them to follow him into the large white building rumoured to be the oldest structure in Diagon Alley.
"Ah Mr. Prince. We've been expecting you."
Remus bowed, "Griphook. I'm sure you know my companions."
"Draco Prince- formerly the Malfoy heir, Adrian Pucey disowned but now the imminent consort of Lord Longbottom and Seamus Finnigan, Lord O'Shanesey." The goblin nodded.
"I decided to include them in my ritual." Remus said with a smile.
"Whatever you want, I have a room set aside for us."
They followed the goblin.
Remus grinned, almost bouncing.
"Are you ready?" Griphook asked.
Remus nodded, "I want to transfer 8164 sickles and 66 Knuts from my private account to the account I started seventeen years ago."
Draco, Seamus and Adrian's jaws dropped at the seemingly random number.
"Very well." Griphook mumbled in Gobbledygook. "It is done."
"What is so special about that number?" Draco asked.
"That Draco is the weight Harry was when we were finally allowed to bring him home. Harry was placed in Sev's arms seventeen years ago today; he weighed 8164.66 grams. Today was the day Sev and I began our family. Next month, will be Nemia and Artemis' birthday and I will put their weights in their respective accounts. From the moment I held them I knew someday they would grow up, want to be bonded and start a family of their own. Artemis used money from this account to pay for things for Harry's Bonding. Tomorrow I will give the key to Harry. I will start one when my next two will be born." Remus smiled.
"Luna swears they are boys." Adrian said softly.
Draco thought about little Aster his tiny angel, "1043.26."
Adrian blinked, "That's Aster's weight at birth."
Draco nodded, "I'd like to make two accounts like Remus' Griphook. It's a month or so late but I don't care. I'll add to it on time in the future."
Griphook rolled his eyes, "I'll get the paperwork."
Draco said softly, "I don't have much in the vault I store my salary in but I want to do this for them. It's such a wonderful idea," he made more substituting for Uncle Sev as the Potions Professor and Head of Slytherin then he ever made as a clerk. He still wanted to be a solicitor…
Seamus knew how attached Draco and Remus were to their children, he could tell. Knowing how much Remus had suffered worrying about his husband through his first pregnancy and his worry he'd lose him when his second pregnancy was discovered he could understand why something as little as the weight of your child could mean so much. When his daughter was born he would come here and open her an account, like Draco it would be the littlest twin that would need the most care that would win his heart.
Adrian smiled, "I think it's a wonderful tradition to start. I don't have much compared to Neville who has the entire Longbottom fortune. My savings and income is like a drop in the cauldron, this is something I can do for our boys myself."
Remus chuckled, "I look forward to seeing how much money you have when they are old enough to Bond." his face filled with sadness, "I had hoped that Nemia would be the second to bond out of our children but with Dennis gone I doubt she will ever love again. Her vault will be a gift when her son is born; it isn't much. It has only 15795 Sickles and 1230 Knuts."
Draco's eyes widened, "That's 931 Galleons, 5 sickles and 41 Knuts!"
Griphook re-entered the room, "That is the estimated contents of Nemia Jasmine Prince's vault."
"How much is Artemis worth?" Adrian asked.
"She weighed a bit more at birth; 1147.54 grams. I deposit 1147 sickles and 54 Knuts every year on her birthday. That is about 17205 Sickles and 810 Knuts now."
"That translates to 1013 Galleons, 14 sickles and 6 Knuts." Seamus said doing the conversion in his head. "Colin says she's never seemed interested in anyone and he's known her for years through her sister and Dennis."
Draco chewed on his lip, "She's a private person, she's interested in someone and they've agreed to a trial courtship to see if the feelings can become mutual."
"Who?" Adrian asked.
Remus was shocked.
Draco noticed Remus' reaction, "My apologies, I thought Artemis would have mentioned it. It's not my place to say who it is."
"You're right, I just wish she had confided in me." Remus said softly, his eldest daughter was so self-reliant. Artemis didn't seem to need anyone. She was stubborn and didn’t want to believe she needed anyone. He wondered if Severus would have been like her if they hadn’t been friends from their first year.
"It only happened yesterday, I guess she didn't get a chance to mention it yet."
XoooooX
It took a few minutes after Draco left for Fred and George to escort Harry to the back of the shop.
"So what's up with your relationship with Bree?
"It's really complicated, you see." Fred began.
"He was kidnapped by his father and declared dead when no sign of them was found. No paperwork more then just his birth was filed with either the Ministry or Gringotts.” George interrupted. "His mother doesn't even know he's alive and he wants to keep it that way." He cast privacy spells that even resisted their products.
"What happened to him?"
"He was born to a half blood father and a pure blood mother, he showed signs of a Muggle disorder called autism as a child. It's really mild technically; it blended with his magical abilities. He is something of a savant, very talented in one area and not so much in others. He only excels in cooking or potion making, he can tell us where we went wrong by looking at the potion and our notes." George said quietly, "On top of it, his father abused him; when we met him he not only didn't like to be touched, he was afraid of it. It took him a while to tell us what his real name was, by then we had the money to look around. We found out his mother killed herself after he was declared dead but before that after he disappeared he went a little mad. Some days, he'll let one or both of us near him. We've had to take this very slow, his father kept him locked up all the time. He never attended a Muggle school, he taught himself what little he knows. He isn't a squib, he has knowledge that he came by naturally- born with it you might say. He just has a gift for cauldron use. When his father died he escaped taking his father's wand, what little money he possessed and all the books on magic he had."
Harry's eyes filled with tears, "How awful. How was he abused?"
Fred's hands clenched at his sides, "His father raped him for years. Bree has a hard time believing anyone could care about him; my natural flirtatious side doesn't help. We respect his space and try not to push, there is little we can do be support him. We both love him, it took forever for him to learn to trust us even to close a door and be alone with him."
"I fell in love with him first, it was me who got him to open up and tell us what little he has. Having two guys in love with him is difficult for him, after the life he's had. We've had to take it slow. As much as I'd like to make love to him I know he won't let me." George nodded.
"Sometimes, he'll let me have sex with him. His autism makes it difficult for him, there are days when he can't handle people and locks himself in his room. Working in the shop when we don't have a rush is okay but if the place is too crowded he has to get out before he has a panic attack. He won't see a mind healer; we just want to help more. He'll probably never pass any Ministry tests but he is rather brilliant." Fred grinned.
"So what is his real name?"
"Brecc Jean Moran. Technically, he is the last of his mother's line but he'd been declared dead. He isn't ready to face the Ministry yet. We do our best to avoid Ministry scrutiny, we couldn't tell them about Bree. We're worried they would misunderstand him and put him in St. Mungos."
"You must really care about him to try to protect him."
"I have a problem with coming on too strong, sometimes I scare him." George said sadly.
"My problem is I flirt too much out of habit, I never mean anything by it. I've gotten a bit better but despite his fears of intimacy and his need for space. You could say he's helped us grow up. As awful as mum can be, she isn't abusive like that." Fred poured himself two fingers of Firewhiskey; it calmed him down when he got upset thinking about Bree's dad.
George on the other hand made tea.
"I guess I haven't had it that bad comparatively." Harry said quietly, he felt bad for his attitude all summer.
"Haven’t had it bad? We leave and your name get put in the Goblet of Fire, you had that entire tournament to face. Ron and Hermione dump you and turn our old House against you. You end up living with the Slytherins. You become involved with Malfoy. You finally get signed with Puddlemere and some mad man's potion knocks you up. You spend most of the pregnancy alone because Malfoy turned into a workaholic? The next time you see Hermione she's assisting in your abduction after you find out Professor Severus is ill." Fred was incredulous. "You don't see that you have had it rough?"
"It seems so insignificant compared to your Bree." Harry said quietly.
"He would be very angry to be described as belonging to anyone." George mused sipping his tea. "Everyone has their own hardships, to compare your sorrows to another's does neither of you justice."
There was a pop.
"Dobby?" Harry said surprised.
"Miss Aster won't sleep. She keeps crying. Winky and I've tried everything; we've changed her and fed her but she won't rest."
Harry nodded, "It's probably too soon to be away from them. I'll floo home. Can you tell Draco?"
"Dobby be fetching Master Draco next." Dobby nodded.
Harry hugged his friends, "Keep in touch okay? I have to have someone be godparents to our next children." He used their fireplace and flooed home.
What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Troll?
A/N- I decided to stop confusing everyone- including myself. Harry's soon-to-be sisters are only three years behind him. Which fits best because when he is a Fourth Year and Draco is in Fifth, the girls are eleven. Sorry for the confusion.
To anyone reading as of August 6, 2012 Bound to you's rewrite is currently still in progress and up to chapter 21 are edited. Sorry for the confusion.
