Chapter 27
Albus Dumbledore stared at the place where Molly Weasley nee Prewett had stood glowering at it.
Arthur had disappeared nearly synonymously so he couldn’t question him…
He had thought that Molly having the headache, a migraine the same day that Harry vanished from Hogwarts was suspicious.
It was very suspicious that that Number Twelve Grimmauld Place vanished during a raid on Diagon Alley.
Surely Harry wouldn’t have done it, he wouldn’t know how to seal a property anymore then James knew how to unseal one. He’d seen to that, it had been a stroke of pure luck that James Potter fell for a Muggleborn nobody and then was orphaned. That put Albus in a position of almost grandfatherly respect and James Potter had hung on his every word. He had hoped that being with Petunia would make Harry look at him in the same light.
Molly’s twittering last words infuriated him…
“I think the house vanished. Did someone anger the owner?”
Anger the owner in deed!
The exact contents of Sirius’ will were known only to himself and the solicitor who had it witnessed and filed properly.
A piece of Slytherin scum named Sancus Malfoy…
Thankfully, he’d kept Sirius locked down at Grimmauld since the end of the Triwizard Tournament.
It wasn’t any noble reason that made him keep Sirius under wraps or keep him from having a retrial to prove his innocence.
Albus had intended to end the Main Black line as well as the Prewett line, the titled Purebloods were small in number had too much power. Dividing them so they would practically eliminate each other was worth it. Break the Purebloods’ strangle hold on power and then the Muggleborns and ‘Halfbloods’ would have to fill in the vacuum, who better to guide them then Albus Dumbledore?
It had been a blow to his scheming when the prophecy about Potter being the one to vanquish Tom but he’d managed to plan out various options to deal with that.
It would prove to be a far too difficult task and while Potter would win, he wouldn’t survive.
His planning had not included Potter having a star-crossed romance with the Slytherin Prince Draco Malfoy, the one charged to kill him!
The Chosen One as he told Harry could not afford the weakness of a family with an acknowledged lover or even children. What was the boy thinking?
Why couldn’t be pick a Gryffindor wench like Ginny Weasley who would weep and wail at his death, live for a time as his grieving abandoned fiancée and then make a respectable bonding to one of his friend, name a child for him and live happily ever after?
No, the boy was pregnant by his old rival Draco Malfoy!
A boy with Black blood running through his veins…
He just knew that this was Malfoy’s doing, Harry was too forgiving and would never turn the Order out. Only Malfoy could be so vindictive, one of the foolish boy’s plans that actually worked surprisingly…
Was this his new plan to take him out?
What exactly did Harry mean about the boy not being a Death Eater?
When he got a hold of Harry Potter he would make the boy apologize on his hands and knees begging him to help him defeat Voldemort!
In his rage at the lost of their Headquarters he was totally oblivious to kidnappings in Diagon Alley…
XoooooX
Molly Apparated practically into her kitchen snagging a bag and stuffing it with a variety of homemade cookies and her knitted gifts for Fleur.
She was just about to floo to Fleur’s parents’ home when Nina appeared.
“Master George is being with Master Harry Potter.”
Molly nodded, “I’m grateful that they are safe.” Then she chuckled, “Ask them if I can come for dinner?”
Her elf nodded and then disappeared while Molly took powder from the flowerpot on the mantle and stepped into the floo immediately she called out the name of the home of Fleur’s parents.
XoooooX
Though Percy wasn’t speaking to him, it was no trouble to detour at the Ministry by the Minister for Magic’s office to make sure that Percy was there and safe.
As was typical of his son’s behaviour since being transferred to the Minister’s office.
The office was busy when he arrived, no doubt related to the attack and kidnappings.
Arthur only peeked in long enough to see if Percy was there.
He only checked the Ministry first because he was already in London.
Just before he left he felt a glare aimed at him, Arthur turned around and Percy turned immediately tossing his head as he turned back to his work.
Arthur wondered just what happened to Percy to change him? Sure he could be rather…pretentious and rule-conscientious but he’d never seemed the type to betray his own family for his own personal gain.
They’d raised their children to look after each other; at least that was what Arthur though they learned. With Percy’s current behaviour, Arthur wasn’t so sure…
To his surprise, the sound of hurrying feet came from behind him.
“Uh Dad?”
Arthur turned, “Yes Percy?”
“I uh heard that you and mum were in Diagon Alley. Mum even captured Death Eaters?” Percy swallowed.
Arthur nodded. “Your mother went to visit Fred and George. But thank Merlin they were already rescued by…Remus.”
Percy shifted nervously, “They joined the Order didn’t they?”
“They are leaning more neutral as are the rest of us.”
Percy put up a privacy ward; “I need to talk to you dad…see…Umbridge cast the Imperious on me. It’s how I didn’t get involved with her trial you see, when I was her subordinate and I unwittingly helped her do dreadful things. I’m just been too ashamed to, you know apologise. Oliver and Penny have been snipping at me for months…”
“Keep us advised if you can. Slip me messages if you want,” Arthur sighed, “And you’re forgiven, I’d sooner believe that nasty woman cast the imperious on you then that Lucius Malfoy was under it during the first war.”
“I’ll send messages by Oliver’s elf Nibs or Penny’s Picky.” Percy promised.
Arthur awkwardly hugged Percy, “Stay out of trouble will you? By the way, Bill’s making you an uncle, seems that he eloped with that Delacour girl from Beauxbatons and they’re expecting twins.”
Percy stumbled, not expecting either the embrace or the news, “Uncle?”
“Your mother has gone to check on Bill and let him know that she and the twins are safe. Then she promised to check on Charlie.”
“Let me know if they are all okay will you? I really am…sorry…”
“You hurt your mother by not coming back on your own for Solstice or acting like she wasn’t there. She was the only one who felt very forgiving and you hurt her.” Arthur chided.
Percy winced, “I’ll make it up to her somehow. I’ve had to grovel for my friends for months and family is more important…”
“I’m glad you came to your senses.” Arthur muttered. “I have to go check on Ron and Ginny to tell them that Fred and George are fine.”
Percy stepped back, “I see. I’ll um talk to you later then…”
“Come to dinner some Sunday soon, you know your mother always makes a lot of food.”
“I’ll think about it…” Percy said quietly before heading back to the Minister’s office.
Leaving Arthur to make his way down to the floos lost in thought.
XoooooX
Molly arrived in the French equivalent of the front parlour in the Delacour Château where she was met by elf. Her French was very out of use but it was enough to communicate with elves.
Fleur arrived looking more pregnant then Harry; then again she was due in about a month or so and was carrying twins.
“You’re far more mobile then I was with Fred and George.” Molly said complimentarily.
“Iz difficult. No stairs. Maman move rooms down here. No make it to nursery now. We arrange it early.” Fleur replied in stammering English.
Molly gestured for Fleur to sit, knowing walking when one was so far along tired one. “Sit, don’t stand on my account. I know you need to eat often. I made us lemon, honey ginger biscuits and some things for dear little Vicki and Harriet.”
Fleur’s eyes filled with tears and the normally placid Veela witch burst into tears.
Molly placed an arm around her shoulder, “There there, I understand completely. You’re better off then I, by the time I was pregnant with my twins; I had a five-year-old Bill, four-year-old Charlie and a two-year-old Percy to look after. Thankfully, only Percy was nursing at the time. If it weren’t for my elf I don’t know how I might have managed to care for the children, keep house and take care of myself. My parents were dead, my brothers off fighting and well Arthur’s parents didn’t approve of me. I’m not going to duplicate Lady Cedrella’s mistakes anymore. Dry your tears and see what I have for your girls now.”
Fleur was embarrassed but she did dry her tears and called for tea to go with Molly’s biscuits.
An elf moved a table near them while another brought tea, Fleur took the time to calm herself and Molly let her.
Then they compared their experiences with pregnancy with twins while nibbling at the biscuits and drinking tea.
Looking after Fleur helped calm Molly after the incident in Diagon Alley.
She didn’t even realise how late it was when Bill arrived.
Her eldest son stumbled at the sight of her, “Mum! You’re alright! I couldn’t get away earlier, you know the goblins; I heard there was an attack on Diagon Alley. Someone said that you were there fighting!”
Molly huffed, “I’m just fine, just because I’m a housewife and not an Auror doesn’t mean I can’t defend myself! I am a Prewett after all and both your father and my brother Fabian were Aurors. Besides, they attacked me first all because I’m a Weasley by bonding.”
Bill blinked, “Why?”
Molly shrugged, “I have no idea, apparently one of my boys was cavorting with his heir.” She cast the time charm, “Oh dear! I promised to check on Charlie before joining your father for dinner and I haven’t even made anything….”
Bill kissed Fleur and squeezed her hands before kissing her rounding belly, “Papa will be back soon. I’ll take Mum to Romania and then we’ll floo back to Britain. I’ll be as quick as I can.”
“Family come first.” Fleur said graciously. “Give my best wishes.”
Molly kissed both her cheeks before they flooed to the village near the preserve where Charlie had bought a house following the World Cup.
They walked from the pub to the house and were surprised to see lights on.
Normally, Charlie was busy at the preserve working as many shifts as he could get…
Charlie was just as much of a workaholic as Bill was…
They were about to enter the house when a witch appeared from next door, “DON’T!”
Molly blinked, “Why? And you are?”
“Diamante Bianchesshi, I’m mated to Dragomir. You can’t visit them now. Come back in a week.” The witch said wringing her hands.
Bill scowled, “Now see here, this is his mother,”
“I don’t care, it’s too dangerous. Charlie asked me specifically to keep everyone away. He’s grown close to my nephew Viktor since the Tournament, but when he was showing signs, well I had to tell him. Dragomir is very protective of the two of us and he won’t like it at all if you disturb Charlie. Please go home. I promise on my children that I’ll tell Charlie that you were here. Please go…I can’t tell you anymore without violating his privacy and it’s his choice to tell.” Diamante said sternly.
“He’s taken a lover and hasn’t seen fit to tell me.” Molly said quietly. “Am I that much of an ogre that you all keep secrets from me?”
Bill winced, “More like you have high expectations and we’re afraid of disappointing you.”
“Please will you go? I feel much safer behind my own wards and I have little ones to look after.” The woman said trying to shoo them off once more.
“A week?” Bill ground out.
“A week.” The witch repeated.
“Very well we’ll return in a week and I hope that Charlie mentions that you told him of our visit.” Not wanting to bother with flooing or portkeying, Bill called the elf his mother in law had assigned him and had them return them to The Burrow.
XoooooX
Arthur needed time to think so he flooed into The Three Broomsticks and then walked toward Hogwarts.
No sooner had he arrived then he ran into his former Transfiguration professor and co-head of the Order.
“Arthur? Are you back? Ronald said that you were away on Order business.”
Arthur blinked, “Away on Order business? What nonsense is this? I’ve been at the Burrow and the Ministry.”
“Oh dear…” Minerva muttered, “I wish I had know he was fibbing…”
Arthur scowled, “What has he done now?”
“Well he spent a majority of the year having a torrid affair with Miss Brown and following his poisoning incident he was with Miss Granger. Now that Miss Brown was found to be pregnant he dumped Ms. Granger and with Mr. Potter’s disappearance, she’s been spending her time either alone or in the company of Professor Charity Burbage or Miss Lovegood.”
Arthur stumbled back, “Ron…knocked up the Brown heiress?”
Minerva snorted, “It appears that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, does it?”
Arthur flinched, “Where is Ron?”
“Well in your perceived absence we had to contact your father and he has begun arguing out a contract with Lord Brown. Ron has been sharing a couple’s apartment with Ms. Brown since they are being considered betrothed.”
Arthur stammered, “My father? You contacted him?”
“He is the head of your family and with your perceived absence, we had little choice in the matter. What did you need Arthur?”
“Molly was in Diagon Alley when it was attacked.”
“Oh dear, I was here looking after the school in Albus’ absence. Is she alright?”
“Yes of course, we wanted to check on the children you see so I came to look in on Ron and Ginny.”
“I’ll go fetch them, if you’ll wait in my office Arthur.”
Arthur dutifully made his way there, his mind in turmoil. How was he going to tell Molly? Percy’s apology was overshadowed by Ron’s indecretion.
He stumbled in and took a seat feeling like he had the morning after he’d been caught wandering the halls with Molly after three o’clock in the morning by Apollyon Pringle.
The door opened and Minerva entered shadowed by Ginny and Ron, Ron had a nervous blonde girl with perfect ringlets clinging to his arm.
Arthur stood, turning to hug Ginny and then scowled at Ron, “Really? Lying to your professor? You knew I wasn’t gone!”
“I didn’t want to bother you!” Ron protested, “You’ve just been promoted and I didn’t cause you any trouble. I figured if it were kept to as few people as possible it would be safe and not blow up into a scandal. We’re telling everyone that Lavender has the flu and she’s not well. She’s going to be tutored at home next year anyway. I’ll see them on weekends and holidays, it’s not like it’s going to be a horrible thing. It could be worse.”
Arthur snorted, “I don’t see how.”
“She could be a stinking Slytherin!” Ron sneered.
“You mean like Harry got cursed to be stuck practically attached to Malfoy?” Ginny asked, “No one’s seen him in over a week. They don’t go to class anymore and it was quite awhile before we saw them. No one will tell us where their private rooms are and I’m worried about him.”
“So worried that you’re still spending time with multitudinous wizards?” Minerva frowned.
Ginny flinched, “So what if I have a lot of male friends?”
“Then why was it that you were caught with Sixth Year Cormac McLaggen’s hand up your skirt last week?” Minerva snapped. “Earning detention for you both?”
Arthur groaned, “Ginny why?”
“It’s not like I have any female friends, Luna doesn’t count and if boys think I’m pretty and desirable I don’t see a problem with it.” Ginny shrugged. “I met a lot of boys in the DA and well I’m only trying to get Harry’s attention.”
“Ginny’s not a slut dad, wizards just think she’s naïve and,”
“Ron shut up, you’re both in a lot of trouble. You’ve both lost your Hogsmeade privileges. If you’re caught in a compromising position with any wizard we’ll be removing you from Hogwarts Ginny. Just wait until your mother hears about what you’ve both been up to.” Arthur snapped, losing his temper.
Ginny looked indignant, Ron horrified and Lavender had a look of panic.
“What right do you have to be mad at us? You had Bill and Charlie when you were both in school!” Ginny sputtered, “Ron heard that from grandfather!”
“While I wouldn’t want to lose Bill or Charlie, I was older and expected to be more responsible. I shouldn’t have allowed myself to sleep with your mother when she was so much younger then I. Especially, since my parents had their heart set on my bonding to your Uncle Gideon. Gideon was my best friend as was Fabian, they saw I was falling for their sister and promised to help bring my parents and their father around. They were very upset when your mother was discovered to be pregnant. It was a moment of weakness that had resulted in Bill; Charlie too was an accident while Percy was our first planned child. Thank Merlin your mother had graduated by the time he was born. I had hoped that my children would grow up to be wiser then myself. I didn’t want you to duplicate my poor choices. Now I suggest that you focus on your schoolwork, as a sixth born Ron you have to get a job that pays as much as you can especially with a baby on the way. You should also quit the team because you have more important things to focus on then Quidditch!”
“You played Quidditch too!” Ron protested.
“For a year because Fabian dragged me to tryouts but we both decided to focus on our education because we wanted to be Aurors.” Arthur shrugged. “As a Chaser I was still in too much danger for your mother to be alright with so I gladly resigned my place.”
“So Ronald is off the team, Harry had to resign as captain while both McLaggen and Ms. Weasley have been in detentions. It seems that the team should be suspended. They are short too many members and it would show too much favouritism to allow them to continue to try to play.”
Ginny and Ron immediately tried to beg Minerva to reconsider.
“Leave us, I have more to discuss with your father. And you are still expected to attend detention Ms. Weasley.”
Ginny left in a huff, with Lavender leading a furious Ron away.
“The situation with McLaggen wasn’t the first time she was caught in a compromising position with another student. She was caught with Mr. Longbottom after the Yule Ball, all year she’s been caught with wizards. Both Mr. Longbottom and Mr. Michael Corner were found trying to stop her from removing their trousers they were grateful to be discovered by professors. I warned you that after her experience with that diary that she needed to see a mind healer. It seems that she’s taken to sexually pursuing wizards whether or not they are interested. You’d better keep her on a tighter leash before she ends up like Mary.”
Arthur groaned, “I’ll talk to Molly and we’ll figure out something.”
Ron had gotten a pureblood witch pregnant and Ginny was the slut of Gryffindor? Merlin! As if having Bill hiding a pregnant bonded, Charlie hiding out in Romania, Percy turning their back on them and the twins dropping out of Hogwarts; they had this to deal with as well?
Was it his fault for working all the time and never being there as a parent?
Arthur was partially in shock and he wavered slightly.
“I’ll just send you home to Mary.” Minerva grumbled.
Arthur didn’t say anything when a Hogwarts elf appeared and Apparated him back to The Burrow.
XoooooX
When Mum’s elf returned with news that she was safe but had duelled Death Eaters and captured them, Harry freaked.

“Draco!” his boyfriend had just walked into the dining room and Harry was wringing his hands.
Draco wrapped his arms around Harry, “What is the matter?”
“Mum was attacked by Death Eaters!”
Draco groaned, “Is she alright?”
The unfamiliar elf nodded, “Yes Miss Mary be safe. She checking on other children with Master Arthur.”
“It might be wise for all the Weasleys to go into hiding. While I can’t do much, there is room here as well as other properties we share between the two of us.” Draco mused. “I sealed Grimmauld so the Order couldn’t use it and closed all the floos.
“Really? You can do that?”
Draco shrugged. “I am a son of a daughter of the House of Black and your soon-to-be consort so it let me. I closed the other Black Property that Dumbledore had access to, the house your godfather was living in prior to his arrest. I took them both from Dumbledore and the Dark Lord lost Malfoy Manor.”
Fred whistled, “Wow! You did all that? For Harry?”
Draco snorted, “Harry can’t leave the house and we planned to start a third power in this war anyway. With Dumbledore and the Dark Lord distracted by an attack on Diagon Alley it was the perfect time.”
“Nina was it?” Harry asked.
The elf nodded.
Harry stammered, “Please tell Mum that we’d like for her and Mr. Weasley to come here for dinner to talk.”
The elf Nina bowed and disappeared.
“You mean it? You think we’re in danger?” George said nervously.
Harry sighed, “You are the closest thing I have to blood family and with Voldemort and Dumbledore after me I want you safe. We might have to consider a Secret Keeper…”
Remus spoke up, “While I don’t mind casting the spell, I really don’t think making Harry Secret Keeper is wise. It’s dangerous to cast on a pregnant person.”
“We’ll have a family meeting and discuss it likely.” George sighed, “I’m not looking forward to telling mum about my personal life but if she’s accepted you and Draco Malfoy well I’m sure she’ll come around about me and Theo.”
Draco groaned, “I’ve been distracted recently…” he had promised that when Mrs. Weasley next visited Harry would have a ring. He fished the box out of his pocket and held it out, “Harry this isn’t quite the proposal you deserve but with things becoming darker I would like for us to be legally bonded as soon as possible. I love you and our daughter and I want to spend as much time as a family. It would be my greatest honour if you would agree to be my bonded.”
Harry threw his arms around Draco’s waist hugging him tightly, “Yes, a million times yes!”
Fred clapped his brother on the shoulder, “Our little Harry is growing up!”
“They always do…” George said softly.
Draco hauled Harry up for a swift kiss before he sighed, “Maybe it would be best if we talked to Theo and Blaise as well…”
Harry blushed, “Whatever you want love.”

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
