Chapter 4
****************A few hours earlier with Snape and Harry****************
Snape and Harry had been fighting for a while now, and none of them wanted to be the one to give up. Harry had made his point, and he was sure that Snape had understood it quite well, but he didn't want to be the one to end the argument. On the other hand, Severus knew that Harry was right. He should have told the boys about the dangers of the forest and about the magic restriction, but he was too proud to admit his mistake aloud.
"I should have known by now that you haven't changed Potter. You are still a brat, an arrogant, impertinent brat just like your fath…" Snape swallowed his words as an unbelievable force sent him crashing into a tree a few feet away. Harry was breathing heavily, his wand was pointed at Snape ready for another spell.
"Don't you dare compare me to my father! You know nothing about him, and you know nothing about me." Harry was so angry that he felt his magic ready to burst. Snape's continuous comparisons between him and his father infuriated him.
"Ron, we're leaving. Ron…?" Harry looked around searching for his friend, but didn't see anyone. Snape looked around too, and frowned when he noticed that Ron was nowhere near them. Realizing the dangers they were exposing themselves to while staying there, Snape stood at once and walked rapidly towards Harry.
"You foolish child, he was probably captured and because of the spell you used earlier so will we. Are you happy now?" Only in that moment Harry realized what had he done. Panicking, he walked to meet Snape and took from his bag the invisibility cloak his father had left him and threw it over them both.
"What are we going to do?" Harry whispered as he put a silencing charm on their feet. Snape frowned, slid a hand over Harry's waist, and brought him closer to his chest making sure that the cloak covered them both entirely.
"If you want to survive long enough to save Mr. Weasley and your godson, you'd better listen to my every word. Now, I'm going to apparate us away so hold on tight." Harry nodded in agreement and did as he was told, he hugged Snape tightly, and then they apparated away.
When their feet touched the ground again, they were no longer in the forest. Harry hadn't had the time to scan the place and see where they were since as soon as the apparition was complete Snape had pushed him into the nearest wall. Harry was about to struggle, but stopped when he heard loud footsteps.
"Keep completely still. Don't even breathe if you don't have to." Harry shivered as Snape's whisper blew hot air into his ear. He had no idea that his ears were so sensitive, but then again, no one had ever gotten near them. Truth be told, he had never let anyone get too close to him, not even Ginny, who had been his girlfriend. Yes, he was still a virgin, and he was not ashamed to admit it. Harry was brutally awoken from his thoughts when the door of the room was slammed into the wall just next to them. The loud noise startled him, so he unconsciously buried his head into Snape's chest. Then he felt Snape tightening his hold and relaxed letting the man's warmth surround him. The minutes that followed were unclear for Harry since all he could hear was Snape's heartbeat, rustle of robes and apparition pops.
They stayed like that for a while, none of them wanting to lose the comforting warmth of the other. However, the noises had died down, and Harry knew that Snape was going to let go soon. If it was for him, he would have never left those arms, but he was well aware of Snape's temper and his acid words, so he stood on his toes and looked pass the man's shoulder wanting to see if there was anyone around. When he saw no one, he pushed Snape away gently.
"They are gone. You can let go now." Harry whispered as he tried to put some distance between their bodies. Snape let go at once when he heard Harry's words, and then he stepped out from the cloak.
"You stay under the cloak and don't come out until I tell you to. I don't want you getting in my way." Harry frowned, he didn't like the way Snape was treating him. They should have been a team, but apparently, Snape didn't find him worthy of being his partner.
"Where are we?" Harry asked as he followed Snape out of the room and down the hallway.
"This is one of the safe houses Voldemort created for his followers. I've been here only once, but the Dark Lord made sure I knew everything about this place since I was his favorite death eater. The room we were in is the only place in the house where you can apparate and disapparate so after getting Draco, Mr. Weasley, and your godson we will have to return there." Harry smiled a bit noticing that now Snape was telling him the important things. He wished he could talk to Snape freely since he wanted to ask him so many questions, he wanted to ask about Voldemort and about his mother, but knew that this wasn't the proper moment to do so, plus Snape would probably scold him for asking. He was so deep in thought that he didn't notice that Snape had stopped and bumped into him.
"Potter, you idiot, pay attention." Snape hissed as he looked behind him. He couldn't see Harry, but he knew that the boy was there, and he was somewhat angry that he couldn't follow some simple rules.
"Sorry…" Harry sighed and took a step back. Snape's words had hurt him deeply, and he thanked Merlin that the man couldn't see him because his emotions were showing on his face.
"Just pay attention, we don't have much time. The spell you used on me in the forest had alerted the death eaters, and they are probably searching for intruders right now, but they will soon figure out that there is no one there, and they will be back." Harry decided to dismiss all his thoughts, and concentrate on their mission. He had to save Ron and Teddy; he didn't have time to feel sorry for himself just because Snape was being a bastard towards him.
"Where do you think they are keeping them?" Snape smirked and opened the door before which they had stopped with a wordless spell.
"Here." Snape's replay was covered by the loud cries of the one year and four months old child in the room. Harry removed his cloak immediately and ran to the child. Teddy was crying, and his hair was a bright red. Harry took the child in his arms rocking him gently and whispering comforting things into his ear. Snape looked for a moment at the two, and then he took the cloak from the floor where Harry had dropped it and covered them both with it.
"You stay hidden and make sure the child doesn't cry. I'll go and look for Draco and Mr. Weasley. They mustn't be far." Harry rubbed Teddy's back gently and smiled when the child sighed and closed his eyes.
"Wouldn't it be better if I came with you? We should stay together since it will be easier to escape." Snape didn't like the idea of putting Harry and the child in danger, but he had to admit that Harry was right.
"Fine, but try to keep the child silent." Harry smiled and nodded even though he knew that Snape couldn't see him. Severus smiled a little as he pictured Harry smiling and nodding while having his typical silly expression on his face. Even if he hated to admit it, he knew more about Harry than most people did, so he could anticipate the boy's reactions easily.
They left the room quietly, making sure that the place was just as they found it, and then they walked rapidly towards the dungeon. Half way there though, they came face to face with Amycus Carrow. Upon seeing them, the man alerted the other death eaters using Voldemort's mark, just before Snape's curse hit him. Severus knew they would have to fight for survival so he grabbed Harry through the cloak and ran towards their destination making sure to throw behind curses and deadly spells.
****************Present time with Draco and Ron****************
Draco woke up with a start. He was covered in cold sweat and his body was trembling furiously. It wasn't unusual for him to wake up like that since he often had nightmares. They were mostly about him finding his mother lifeless on the floor of her bedroom, but he also had a few about him being killed. He wasn't frightened of death, what scared him was the fact that he died without knowing what love was. Sure, his parents had loved him, but they didn't show it often, and he craved it. He craved to have someone to love, someone who would love him back and who wasn't afraid to show it every day.
Sighing, Draco let his body relax and only then he felt the warmth that came from behind him. He turned to see where it came from and his eyes widened when he saw Ronald Weasley snoring softly next to him. Upon seeing Ron, the memories of a few hours ago came crushing in his brain, along with the feelings he had felt at that time. He shivered in disgust and move away from the man. He wasn't disgusted by what he and Ron had done, it was mere survival, he was disgusted by the feelings he had felt when the red haired boy had held him, had kissed him, had filled him and had brought him to the heights of pleasure.
Not being able to take it anymore, Draco got up wanting to put more distance between them, but as soon as he was on his feet, he felt Ron's essence sliding out of him and running down his thighs. Feeling more than dirty, Draco searched through the clothes on the floor and found a handkerchief in Ron's pants pocket, he took it and cleaned himself with it. When he was done, he threw it in the toilet and then he rushed to put his clothes on. All that movement had woken up Ron, but the boy didn't say anything wanting to give Draco some privacy. Once Draco was fully clothed, he turned to look at Ron and saw that the boy was watching him.
"It's cold, put some clothes on." Draco leaned down, took Ron's pants, and gave them to him. Ron took them and dressed himself quickly. Draco noticed that Ron had forgotten to put on his jacket so he took it from the end of the mattress and leaned forward to give it to him. Instead of getting his jacket, Ron grabbed Draco's arm pulling him into his arms. Draco was taken aback by Ron's behavior, and he was even more shocked when the other boy put his jacket over his shoulders.
"Now that you're warm enough, let's get back to sleep." Ron yawned loudly and then let his body fall on the mattress taking Draco with him. The blond didn't fight him, on the contrary, he snuggled closer to the man seeking his warmth. They fell asleep again, sated and warm.
Meanwhile, Harry and Snape were running for their lives. The death eaters had responded to Carrow's call and they all returned to the house. Snape had been scared a few times in his life, but never like this. He hadn't been this scared even when Voldemort had tried to kill him. Truth being told he didn't fear for his life, he was worried that Harry, the child, Draco and Ron would fall with him.
"We have to hurry." Severus said as he pulled Harry inside a cell and covered himself with the invisibility cloak too. Harry got as close as he could to the man and sighed in relief when he saw the death eaters running past them.
"What now?" Harry whispered almost imperceptible. Snape frowned and got out from the cloak arranging it back on Harry.
"I'll distract them and you are going to stay here, and once the coast is clear you are going to find Draco and Ron, and then you are going to get out of here." Harry didn't like the idea of letting Snape there. He knew that the man would probably die so he stubbornly walked to him and fisted his invisible hand in his shirt.
"I have a portkey to Hogwarts. Dumbledore made it especially for me. I can activate it anytime I want so let's just go find Malfoy and Ron and then let's get out of here." Snape widened his eyes when he heard the name of his former headmaster leaving Harry's lips. Even after the man's death, Severus still couldn't trust Dumbledore, but apparently Harry did so he decided to take a chance and trust the boy's words.
"Fine, but get it ready, we will have to move fast." Harry removed the cloak and gave Teddy to Snape. The man took the sleeping child from Harry and held him awkwardly in his arms. Harry searched in his bag and when he found a small bracelet, he took it. He pointed his wand at it and then he whispered something in parseltongue.
"Done." Harry took Teddy from the man, and then Snape covered them back with the cloak.
"Get ready to run. Alohomora." Snape voice echoed through the dungeon and all the doors in his proximity opened at once. Harry was amazed by the man's power, and no matter what people said, he knew that Snape was an extremely powerful wizard.
They ran as fast as they could, trying to avoid the curses that came their way. Finally, they reached the last door and Severus blew it up as it didn't open with the spell he was using. Inside they found Draco and Ron sleeping peacefully. Harry removed a part of the cloak from his body and held the bracelet up.
"Get up. Get up now and touch the bracelet." Harry's screams woken both boys and as soon as they saw Snape and Harry they jumped to their feet.
"Now." Snape said and cast a protego spell on them. The death eaters were storming in the room so Harry activated the portkey after they all had touched the bracelet at the same time. They disappeared with a pop, but not before some hexes reached them.
They all landed on the floor in the headmistress's office. The woman was inside at that time so she rushed to them at once. She helped Ron and Draco up and then she took Teddy from Harry. Snape got to his feet without help, but he knelt back when he saw blood coming out from under Harry.
"Potter!" Snape shouted, and the only reaction he got from Harry was a small gasp.
"Call Pomfrey. Hurry." Snape took Harry in his arms and ran out of the room. Ron and Draco follow them after taking Teddy from the headmistress. The child's hair color change from red to purple and he started crying in the crook of Ron's neck.
"How does he do that?" Draco asked as he carefully watched the child. Ron ignored the blond, and began to rub Teddy's back trying his best to make him stop crying. Draco noticed he was ignored so he let it go walking in silence.
When they reached the hospital wing, Madame Pomfrey was already there fussing over Harry. Snape was not far from the boy's bed looking like the world had ended. Ron sighed and walked to the nearest empty bed and sat on it, arranging Teddy on his lap. Draco followed him not knowing what else to do.
"Da…da…" Teddy sobbed as his little hands stretched towards the bed where Harry was. Ron smiled and turned the child to face him. Teddy sobbed a little more, and then he stopped, changing his features and hair to match Ron's. Draco widened his eyes when he saw the transformation.
"He is a metamorphmagus, like his mother." Ron explained not even sparing a glare at Draco. The blond was used to Ron's behavior by now so he knew that if he wanted to start a conversation with the man he had to try his best not to anger him.
"A metamorphmagus?" Ron finally looked at Draco and the blond felt a jolt in his lower belly.
"It means that he has the ability of changing his physical appearance at will. He can become anyone he wants without requiring polyjuice potion or any other spells. Teddy inherited this ability from his mother, Nymphadora Tonks, your cousin." Draco looked at the child and smiled when he saw that the little boy was now looking like Ron, but with his blond hair. Ron laughed at the sight, took Teddy, and placed him into Draco's lap. Draco didn't know what to do, he just kept still and looked at the toddler waiting for his reaction.
The child seemed to like Draco cause as soon as he looked into the older boy's eyes, he changed himself into a mini Draco. Ron looked amused at the blond's reaction and took Teddy from him.
"I'd rather not have two of you around me right now." Ron explained as he slid his hand through the child's hair that had turned purple again.
"Do you know what the colors mean?" Ron sighed and looked with sad eyes towards Harry's bed.
"I just know a few. Harry is the one who knows them all." Draco nodded in understanding and moved his gaze from Harry to Snape. He had known his godfather since he was a child, and he had never seen him like that. Sensing that the man needed someone to reassure him, Draco walked to him and brushed his arm into Snape's. The man's attention was on him in the next moment and the blond smiled gently at him.
"He is going to be fine, I know he will." Snape sighed and relaxed a bit. He knew all too well how strong Harry was, but that didn't prevent him from worrying about the boy's health mostly knowing that it had been his fault that he was hurt.
"You shouldn't blame yourself godfather, if anyone should feel guilty that's me. I was too weak to fight Dolohov." Snape frowned and moved before Draco and put his hands on the boy's shoulders.
"You had no wand Draco, how were you supposed to fight him? And speaking of Dolohov, what had he done to you?" Draco felt his cheeks warm up as he remembered his and Ron's love session. Snape frowned when he saw the light blush on Draco's pale cheeks.
"Answer my question Draco. Do it or I'll have to force it out of you." Draco knew that he had no choice but tell the truth, so he lowered his gaze and whispered his answer as softly as he could.
"He gave me and Ron the Dark Lord's lust potion." Snape widened his eyes and looked from Draco to Ron, who was still entreating Teddy. Draco wanted to be swallowed by the ground after he finished his sentence.
"And you survive it?" Draco only nodded and a new shade of red colored his cheeks. From the boy's reactions, Snape understood that he had been the receiver so without wasting another moment, he pushed Draco towards the medwitch that had finished healing Harry.
"Pomfrey, can you take a look at him too? They gave him an experimental potion, and I want to make sure he is fine. And how's Potter?" The old woman looked at Draco and then at Snape and frowned.
"Harry is fine, he will be as good as new by tomorrow. Now, tell me more about this potion that they gave Mr. Malfoy." Snape wanted to give the woman all the details, but refrained himself when he noticed that Ron was approaching them.
"Draco will tell you everything you need to know." The medwitch nodded and took Draco to an empty bed and drew the curtain around them.
"What's going on? Is Malfoy alright?" Snape turned to look at Ron and frowned. As much as he thanked Merlin that they had survived the experimental potion Voldemort had created, he couldn't help but worry about Draco. The boy had always reacted badly at unknown potions, and he was worried that Draco couldn't fight the side effects of the potion since his body was too weak after having sex for the first time.
"I sincerely don't know Mr. Weasley." Ron wasn't satisfied with the answer he got, but tried to keep his cool. It was a hard thing to do though since his emotions were all over the place.
Snape and Ron hadn't seen Draco that night. After an hour of examination the medwitch had told them that she needed to run some more tests and that the blond was going to spend the night there. Snape had insisted on talking to his godson, but the old witch forbade him too. They were also thrown out of the hospital wing under the pretext that they were disturbing the patients so they had no choice but to go and rest for the night.
The next morning Harry woke up in pain. He tried to get up, but his back was hurting pretty bad.
"Take this potion Potter, you will feel better." Harry looked to his side and saw Draco holding a bottle. He saw that the liquid inside was blue, so he knew that it was for the pain. He took it and drank it at once.
"Madame Pomfrey said that we can leave after your pain had died down." Harry got up with a groan and looked Draco in the eyes.
"Where you hexed too?" Draco nodded 'no', but didn't say anything else. Suddenly, the door of the hospital wing opened, and the boys saw Kingsley Shacklebolt, the minister of magic, walking towards them followed by Ron and Snape.
"Oh great, you are both up. Well now that we are all here I have to tell you something." The four men looked at him questioning and the minister smiled widely.
"Since the death eaters are on your tail, me along with other concerned public figures have decided to relocate all of you to a safe place until Dolohov and his men are in the ministry's custody. You will all be sent to the same place so we can guard you better. You are leaving in two hours, all your luggage had been already moved there. Ron, Draco these are your wands, make sure you don't use unauthorized spells on each other. Well, this is all. Good luck gentlemen." The four men had their jaws on the floor. They were too shocked to complain or fight the man. All they could do was watch as he walked rapidly towards the exit.
"Oh, and Harry your godson is coming with you too so make sure he is ready to travel." The four men stood in complete silence for a good ten minutes and then they all came back to their senses. Snape stormed out of the room followed closely by Draco while Ron and Harry remained in the hospital wing.
None of them wanted to believe what just happened, but they couldn't deny the truth. Giving up, they all resigned themselves hoping that they would manage to survive under the same roof without killing each other.
