Harry relaxed into his seat with a heartfelt sigh.
Luna giggled. “Happy to be going back?” She asked.
Harry made a face. “The only good thing about it is meeting the new twins, honestly. And getting rid of Dumbledore.”
Cedric came into the compartment and handed Harry a sheet of parchment.
Harry read it over, and nodded. “Good. We have all the heirs now.” He said.
Cedric nodded. “Yes. Why, exactly, does Dumbledore need to go? That part was a little unclear.” He said.
Harry hummed. “He’s done a lot to be ashamed of, that’s why. False prophecy, endangering a baby’s life, false imprisonment—my Godfather, Sirius Black—and watching a child get raped and not stopping it are a few of the things he’s done.”
Cedric paled. “Oh, Gods. How do you know about the last one?”
“McGonagall saw it in his pensieve. I trust her implicitly; she wouldn’t lie about that.” Harry said.
“Who was it?” Cedric asked in a whisper.
Harry blew out a long breath, but decided to answer the intensely personal question with honesty. “Me.” Was all he said.
Cedric sat back and absorbed that for a few minutes. “Yeah.” He finally decided. “He needs to go. Who will take his place?”
Harry smiled. “McGonagall will do fine. I have the book detailing what we need to do and telling us how to find the wardroom where it needs to happen. It’s hidden, but we can get to it. There’s a reason it is not in the Headmaster’s office. If the heirs need access for this reason, it can’t be somewhere that will alert the Headmaster that we are going in. There’s a lot of rituals that use that room, and most of the heir rituals call for using it, as it is the most magically-charged area of the school.” He explained. “It’s basically Hogwarts’ heart.”
Cedric nodded. “Can we go in just to look around?” He asked. “Before the ritual?”
Harry smiled. “It’s a bad idea to go in if you aren’t a Founder’s heir or the Headmaster, but we can, yes. I actually do need to go in to make sure I can find it, so you can come with me when I go looking where it’s supposed to be.”
Luna smiled. “I will join you.”
Harry laughed. “And so all four of us will go, since Tom has already invited himself along, too. This will be a fun adventure.” He said lightly.
Cedric chuckled. “I suppose it will be.” He agreed.
Harry nodded. “So Wednesday night.” He said firmly. “Two AM.”
Cedric looked shocked. “Why so late and on a weeknight?” He asked.
Harry cocked an eyebrow at him. “So we don’t get found by someone we can’t afford to be. Tom and Dad are doing rounds that night, and both of them know the plan. If we get found by Dad, we just say hi and go our separate ways. And Tom will be with us.” He grinned. “As to why so late, do you want to be caught by Dumbledore? Because if we do this earlier, there’s a very real risk of that. The man goes to bed late.” He said.
Cedric groaned. “Fine. This is N.E.W.T. year for me, can we not do this often?” He requested.
Harry chuckled. “And O.W.L. year for me. Don’t worry, we should only need to hide things these two times. McGonagall will let us use the room whenever and however we need to.” He pointed out. “She’s on our side.”
Cedric sighed. “And thank the Gods for that!” He said.

Harry sat down to dinner and Draco sat beside him. Harry frowned. “I thought you would be with your mates.” He said.
Draco sighed, dishing himself up some food. “I would be.” He said. “But this is important.”
Harry gestured for him to continue.
“Dumbledore gave us private rooms.” He said quietly.
“That’s great!” Harry enthused. His face fell at Draco's serious look. “Isn’t it?” He asked.
Draco sighed. “They are covered in recording spells, surveillance spells and other things. Some of which are unknown even to me.” He made a face. “We can’t move in until Our Lord checks the rooms and removes everything questionable. We need that done as soon as possible.” He said.
Harry nodded. “I'll let him know tonight. He can go in and make sure the rooms are clear.”
Draco smiled. “Thanks, My Prince. That will be perfect.” He handed over the directions and password. “This is it.”
Harry glanced at the map and nodded. “I’ll give it to him. When do I meet the babies?” He asked excitedly.
Draco smiled. “I can take you to them tonight.” He offered.
“Sounds like a plan.” Harry said happily. “Can Tom come?”
Draco winced. “Er, no. George doesn’t trust him enough. Later it will be fine. But not quite yet.”
Harry nodded. “I'll let him know.”
They ate, Harry listening to Draco recounting the tale of George’s exciting labour, and Harry nodding along and smiling at the story of how they blackmailed George into bed by asking if he wanted Pomfrey to see the nest.
It had worked as intended.
“There’s something else we need to tell you, but… Not here. Wait until you see our little bundles of joy.” He glared down at his plate. “It will have more meaning then.”
Harry frowned. “Alright.”
They ate and chatted about little things, then waited for Tom in front of his room.
He stopped short at seeing them. “To what do I owe the honour?” He asked.
Harry grinned. “We need you to check Draco and the twins' new room for unwanted spellwork.” He explained.
Tom sighed. “Of course. Let’s go.”
Harry handed over the map.
Tom glanced at it, nodded and headed for the room, the two teens shadowing him.
He got to the room and opened it, then cast a detection spell and frowned at the many multi-coloured lights everywhere. “That man…” He muttered, then began casting various spells to disable and remove the tampering.
When he was done, Harry hugged him. “George doesn’t trust you quite enough to go visit his nest, but you will see the babies when they leave it, I promise. For now, he wants to see me. I will see you tonight to read some of the book.” He patted his pocket, where the shrunken rituals book was hidden.
“Fair enough. I will see you later, then.”
Harry and Draco headed to the Room of Requirement and went in.
“I brought him!” Draco called out, and Fred's head appeared through a hole in the wall.
“Good. George is ready.” He said.
Draco led Harry forward.
Harry looked around as they entered a hallway behind a wall and smiled at George, who was holding two tiny babies. “Hey.” He said.
George patted the space next to him. “Sit, and come look at them.” He said.
Harry sat beside him and held out his arms.
George placed a baby into his arms and Harry looked down at her. She had little tufts of strawberry-blonde hair and blinked sleepy blue eyes up at him.
“Her eyes will change in a few months. We're hoping for silver or green. We don’t need any more brown-eyed redheads, there are enough of those.” George said.
Harry smiled. “So who do I have?”
George nodded down at her. “That’s the first-born. Grace Felicity Malfoy-Prewett. This is Faith Gwendolyn Malfoy-Prewett.”
“Cute names.” Harry remarked.
“So they were born five days ago.” Draco explained. “Two days after they were born, the twins got an unmarked package with a blanket in it. They assumed it was from you or Luna, and added it to the nest.”
Harry looked up sharply.
“It weakened George and the babies over the next day, until the babies were almost too tired to eat, and George could barely keep his eyes open. We assume it was Molly.”
Harry’s eyes narrowed, spitting green fire. “She’s going to die.”
Fred and George straightened. “She’s ours.” Fred said firmly.
Harry nodded. “I'll help, but you can have her.”
Draco puffed up. “I’m going to be there. I'll have the babies, so I’ll be staying out of it, but I want to see her end.” He said.
“That’s your right.” Harry agreed.
Fred smiled, and instead of looking friendly like usual, this smile sent a chill of unease up Harry’s spine. “I have a plan.” He said quietly. “It will take a few weeks to set up and an additional few to play out, but I think it’ll be wonderful revenge for almost taking our babies from us.” He told Harry.
Harry frowned. “What do you have in mind?” Harry asked.
Fred’s smile widened. “I’ll explain it fully once I find what I’ll need in the library here. Give me two weeks, then ask again and I should have an answer.” He explained.
Harry nodded. “Alright, I can do that.”
“The rooms are ready whenever we are now.” Draco told George.
George smiled widely. “Great! One more week, and then we can move.” He flushed. “And I’ll return the things I took from you both for the nest.” He added sheepishly.
Fred laughed. “You needed it more than us. And it was for a good cause. We totally understand.”
Draco nodded. “Yes, but it will be nice to get them back.” He added.
