A/N: I had started this chapter prior but somehow lost it so I had to rewrite it but thankfully I had it written down somewhere findable. Here is the justice you were all waiting for. I hope it is acceptable...

Chapter 27
When normal Mind Healing didn’t seem to be helping Molly enough to deal with her loss of Harry and Ginny’s being signed over to the House of Potter as less than a bonded consort, she was placed in a private in-patient program at St. Mungos’.
Which left Cedrella more time to focus on her grandchildren and Arthur could return to focusing on hunting down Death Eaters…
Perhaps, it was the knowledge that she had miss so much of her grandchildren’s lives that was pushing her to check the Weasley family tapestry…
Bill, Ginny and Fred’s daughters weren’t a surprise…
Nor was Colin’s son Shamus…
There were also the twin boys that George had flooed them about first thing the morning after Fleur’s birthday party.
No it was both Percy and Charlie’s sons that unnerved her…
Percy had been betrothed to Oliver privately soon after their mutual graduation but it was only known to her grandson, his betrothed, Septimus, herself and Oliver’s parents.
Sometime after the Triwizard Oliver and Percy had a falling out but Oliver never agreed to break their betrothal.
In Charlie’s case, during Bill’s bonding Viktor had spoken to her Septimus alone and given him permission to bond to their second eldest grandson.
Having two of the Triwizard Champions in the family would likely help their family improve their social standing after Arcturus’ scandal.
Charlie hadn’t spent much time in Britain after Fred’s funeral, having preferred to grieve alone in Romania where he lived with Viktor and their son Alexis Mark. They had welcomed a little girl Nadejda Avalon that Charlie called ‘Nan’ in his letters on Viktor’s birthday back in May…
In Percy’s case, it seemed that he was hiding a son named Aubry Felix…
The Woods would not appreciate this…
No wonder Percy hadn’t dared go against the Ministry…
Cedrella called for her handbag, shawl and hat before Flooing to Hogwarts to speak with her grandson.
Percy had been a sickly baby and had always been a favourite of hers, not that that dratted Mary Prewett ever let her near them after Gideon and Fabian died.
Cedrella flooed straight to Hogwarts, casting the point-me spell to learn that Percy was in the library…
Cedrella made her way there calling out, “Percival?”
Percy wandered out of the stacks coughing, a muffler wrapped around his face, “Grandmother?”
“We need to talk.”
Percy swallowed, “Of course, we can use my office. Let me fetch my things.”
Cedrella waited impatiently but she waited.
Percy returned with his arms full of books. “My apologies, since leaving the Ministry I’ve been apprenticing to Professor Vector for my Ancient Runes mastery. I can’t return there…”
“And you have reasons for keeping your distance from Oliver…” Cedrella observed.
Percy’s fevered flush darkened, “What do you know?”
Cedrella tugged on his shirt to hiss in his ear, “I know about Aubry…”
Percy stumbled, “What?”
He dropped his armful of books and trembled, “How did you know?”
Cedrella smirked, “The family tapestry, it is curious that your Aubry is the eldest of my Arcturus’ grandchildren. Then its Charlie’s Alexis, Colin’s Shamus, Bill’s Vickie and Ginny’s Vivi. Followed by Charlie’s Nan as well as George’s twins…”
Percy was shaking dreadfully as he recollected his books, “I suppose that means that you want to meet him?”
“Where is he?”
“Penny, Audrey and I take turns watching him between our classes. I teach the First Year Ancient Runes class. Since Snape was Headmaster, Flitwick was letting his apprentices teach the younger years and McGonagall allowed them the same experience. Last year was worse, I couldn’t take Bree to the Ministry with me and Hogwarts wasn’t safe then. I had no familial support. My only option was to have him picked up by either Clearwater or Ollivander house elf who would watch him. House elves weren’t watched as clearly as other forms of transport like portkey or floo and Apparition is of course unsafe before their skull hardens.”
“I take it that you were very careful to keep Aubry’s existence a secret so he wasn’t born at St. Mungos.” Cedrella asked after Percy let her into his Hogwarts’ apartment.
Inside was a blonde witch who was singing in French to a curly dark auburn-haired, crystal blue-eyed twenty-six month-old boy who was curled up in her lap.
The boy yawned, “Papa!”
Percy set down his books before he knelt to wrap his arms around his son, “Hi there Bree.”
“Whose that?” Aubry asked sleepily.
“That’s my grandmother…”
“Granny?” Aubry mumbled.
“Yes Granny, come on Aubry. It’s naptime.”
Aubry whinged, “No.”
Percy kissed the top of his head, “Thank you Audrey, I’ll put Bree down. You have a class soon anyway.”
Audrey twittered in accented English that her godson was adorable and it was a pleasure to watch him before leaving them alone…
Cedrella followed her grandson up two flights of stairs to a large bedroom that took up the entire upper floor of the apartment. It was filled with bookshelves, a large toy box, two wardrobes and a four-poster bed with crimson curtains and duvet.
Through an archway lay a large bathroom as well…
Percy tucked Aubry into bed before kissing his hair again.
It didn’t take long for the little one to fall asleep, once Percy seemed certain that his son was asleep, they returned to the downstairs part of the apartment where Percy requested tea and light sandwiches from a Hogwarts elf.
Cedrella took a seat in an armchair, perching herself regally, “Would you like to explain why you haven’t introduced your son to his family?”
Percy swallowed, “I had turned my back on my family, my mistake cost me my lover and ultimately one of my brothers.”
“Fridericus’ death was the fault of a Death Eater, a Weasley always puts family first. By all reports he saved you, could he have suspected Aubry’s existence? Despite his flaws, Fridericus would never have wanted for your son to be an orphan.”
Percy hung his head, “That would mean that it was my fault.”
“Does that mean that Harry should be responsible for his parents’ murder?” Cedrella retorted.
Percy flinched, “That’s not the same thing!”
Cedrella raised an eyebrow, “Oh really? Why not? If Fridericus died to save you to keep his nephew from being a half orphan, why is that your fault? There is a reason that they sacrificed themselves to save both of your lives.”
“If something had happened to me, I know that Penny and Audrey would take care of Bree.”
“That’s not the Weasley way. You can’t keep Aubry’s existence from Oliver forever, keeping his son from him without his having violated you is line theft and the Wood family could sue you for it.”
Percy wrapped his arms around himself, “They couldn’t…after all I’ve done to protect Bree I can’t lose him…”
“Just because you’re betrothed doesn’t mean that you can keep Aubry from his sire, he is still legitimate but only if you bond. You can’t keep that secret forever, how long until one of Wood’s relations check their family tapestry like I did?” Cedrella sniffed.
Percy hid his face in his knees, in the beginning he had been convinced that keeping his pregnancy a secret was the right choice.
Things just got darker; he was imperioed at some point by Umbridge. Thank Merlin for Penny who removed it but by then he had just one friend, no family and he’d lost Oliver.
They hadn’t spoken until the battle at Hogwarts and all Percy wanted to do was hide…
Fred forgiving him had been a surprise because he hadn’t deserved it…
“Now either you send for Oliver or I will. He’s lost enough hasn’t he?” Cedrella pressed.
Percy’s voice shook, “You can…”
Pleased at her victory, Cedrella sent a Weasley elf after Percy’s estranged betrothed.
XoooooX
George was still overwhelmed…
He worried that his drinking on Fleur’s birthday had caused harm to his sons.
He hadn’t been trying to conceive and yet he was just months from being a parent…
Was he even ready for it? Technically, he and Seamus were still courting…
His own grandfather was arguing out the final details of his bonding contract with Seamus’ grandfather but they were nowhere near ready!
Inside George was panicking…
With a workaholic father and a controlling harpy of a mother, how could George have any idea how to parent?
Seamus sensed George’s turmoil and went over to calm his lover, George was far less confident since Fred’s death but Seamus was determined to build his lover’s confidence…
XoooooX
Luna being Luna knew that Harry was under a lot of stress and was troubled by memories he didn’t have.
She flooed over to Malfoy Manor and made her way to the library where her friend was studying.
Luna walked up to Harry and sat down on the edge of the library table beside him.
“Shimmering Pinskeys told me that you were troubled.” Luna said in a singsong voice.
Harry flinched, “I’m fine…”
“The Glowing Selenites promise that you didn’t hurt him. Your mind and heart are being confused by Nargles silly!” Luna leaned in to press her nose to his. “Draco is all twisted up inside because of them as well. You have to convince him that you didn’t break your promise.”
Harry paled, “How do you know about my promise?”
Luna giggled, “I know a lot of things silly!”
“He won’t even talk to me, much less look at me…”
“You’re both being silly, you’re supposed to trust each other. It’s part of being partners, “ Luna said chidingly while swinging her feet.
“How do you keep from arguing with Nott?” Harry mumbled.
Luna shrugged, “Even in his silence, Theo speaks volumes. I already know how to listen. Teaching Theo to listen is hard but time is something we both have.”
Luna was her usual confusing self but she seemed to have a point…
Harry wondered how it was that she knew anything that she knew; did her presumably imagined creatures like Nargles actually exist?
Trying to understand Luna always led to a headache…
Harry had never actually known her to be wrong, so did that mean that he really didn’t betray Draco and break his promise?
Luna squeezed his shoulder, “You need to learn to listen too…you have a good and noble heart Harry. If you listen to it and not your fear then Nargles will never lead you astray.”
Harry watched as Luna slipped off the table and skipped out of the library.
She was a good friend; he really should pay her more attention…
XoooooX
Oliver was surprised when a Weasley elf dragged him out of the locker room at Puddlemere’s Quidditch stadium only to be Apparated somewhere unfamiliar.
He glanced around what appeared to be a combination library/study with an adjoining breakfast nook before realising that the other two human occupants were Cedrella and Percy Weasley.
Oliver hadn’t met Lady Cedrella that often, mostly only in passing when his father and Percy’s grandfather Septimus were hashing out their betrothal contract.
Lady Cedrella immediately cast a silencing charm on the room before addressing him, “Are you still interested in bonding to my grandson?”
Oliver gaped at her, “Are you kidding? I’ve been determined to bond to Percy since I was at least thirteen.”
Cedrella smirked, “Is there anything that could make you change your mind?”
Oliver shook his head, “Nothing, I only wanted him to stop slandering Harry…”
Percy let out a pained sharp cry, “That wasn’t me, I was imperioed…”
Oliver immediately let out a sigh of relief, “Thank Merlin, I was sure that you wouldn’t say those things willingly.”
Percy swallowed, before glancing over at him, “I am so sorry, I was in over my head by the time Penny figured it out and got it removed but it was about the same time that I learned that I was…”
Sensing that Percy couldn’t continue his confession, Cedrella did.
“What my grandson is attempting to inform you is that he found out that he was pregnant and he couldn’t tell you at the time without putting the child in danger.”
Oliver blinked, “I have a son?”

Cedrella nodded, “An twenty-six month-old boy named Aubry Felix.”
Percy ruefully admitted, “I am so sorry, by the time I found out we weren’t talking and things had gotten very dangerous in the Ministry. I don’t know what I would have done without Penny. She helped me hide my pregnancy by casting a glamour charm every morning after I started to show and bought my potions in France.”
Oliver was shocked to the core and trembling in shock, Percy had been imperioed and he hadn’t bothered to check when his betrothed began to act out of character? Then there was Percy’s pregnancy that he’d kept to himself, now he had an twenty-six month-old son that he’d never met…
Percy murmured, “He was properly wiccaned, Penny and her lover Audrey Ollivander are his godparents. I had him in France to keep him safe and Penny used Polyjuice to be me so that my absence wasn’t noted while I was recovering. They have taken turns watching him since I started my apprenticeship with Professor Vector. Since Flitwick is Deputy Headmaster, last year he made sure that at least one of us is free to watch him. I never liked leaving Bree with an elf.”
Oliver had no idea how to react, he was stunned and hurt that Percy hadn’t told him about their son. During the war it made sense, but after the Battle of Hogwarts?
Knowing about their son, it made sense why Percy had been so standoffish since the battle. His father would take it the hardest but his mother would be excited.
That was once Oliver got over the shock…
Percy’s face was streaked with tears when Oliver brought himself to look at him.
Percy whispered, “How upset with me are you?”
Oliver sunk onto the other end of the settee, “I don’t know Perce, before the Battle I can understand but you kept the secret for over a year later. Then again we weren’t exactly on speaking terms and there was Fred…”
“I think its time to have a reunion!” Cedrella announced abruptly. “It’s high time that all of my grandchildren-in-law met one another officially and I want to meet all of my great grandchildren even those by proxy like Thabit, Scorpius, Orion and James.”
Oliver frowned, “Thabit? I thought his name was Teddy?”
Cedrella sniffed, “Teddy is so very plebeian don’t you think? His legal name thanks to our mutual Black blood is Thabit Remus as I understand it. I’m not sure how such young wizards can handle five infants under eighteen months but with Andromeda’s help I am sure that they are doing alright.”
Percy’s expression seemed dubious but Oliver didn’t dare contradict her either, rather he just nodded.
Speaking of names Percy had done a really good job of picking their son’s name.
Aubry was a name with an Elven meaning which was a Wood tradition while Felix was Latinate for the Weasleys. Oliver remembered when they were discussing their betrothal and names for their kids that Aubry came up a lot.
That was what did it, what made Oliver forgive everything…
He leaned over to kiss Percy, “I forgive you, so may I meet my son?”
Cedrella chuckled, “I’ll send Septimus to meet with your father, the sooner a bonding contract is signed the better…”
Oliver was instructed to be quiet before Percy led him up the stairs.
A family, Oliver finally had his own family and it still included Percy…

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?
Anon 1 - Unfortunately, English is my first language. I never learned to read out loud due to my odd schooling when I was young and much of it was without adult direction. My grammer has gotten better especially since I started using a new Word which has a better grammer/spell-check. Unfortunately, the trouble is I type to fast and sometimes hit the wrong keys. I have done my best to slow down and pre-read before posting but some mistakes may still slip through.
Anon 2 - Harry isn't always a legal name, its often a nickname. Henry is a common choice as is Harrison or Harris for a nickname like Harry. I've used a lot weirder than 'Henry'. I was just being lazy in this story...
Anon 3 - Pincer skills is a term that means that a baby is learning to grab and hold objects, I am sorry if my wording confused my readers.
Anon 4 - I fixed the poor wording for chapter 12: "He's abandoned me for the third time and I don't care to give him a third chance." . Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
Anon 5 - As for chapter 18: 'Draco said off-handidly as he looked down at his brother.' I meant lover and it's fixed. Draco won't have siblings until Narcissa attempts to carry Severus' children to term in an attempt to continue the Prince family.
