Overload

There was quite the chaos when they came to headquarters. Narcissa almost fainted when she laid eyes on her supposedly dead cousin and Hagrid couldn´t believe his eyes when he saw Lily and James Potter walking into the living room. His mouth fell open and he had trouble closing it again. Harry never left Severus´s site not only because he wanted to make sure no one would dare fire a curse at him but also because it finally hit him, that he actually had his parents back and he had no idea how to cope alone at the moment. The group sat down. Amos Diggory and his wife took their seat beside their son and Amos looked around curiously. The house was beautiful but the fact that Narcissa Malfoy seemed to live here with a half giant and a werewolf was most curious indeed. The marauders shared the biggest couch. Remus shuffled close to Sirius, as if afraid that he would disappear again should he leave his site. Lily and James sat down next to them but didn´t let Harry out of their site, they seemed completely mesmerised by him. It was too much for Harry and he turned and searched the room for Ron. When he spotted him, he waved him over and they stepped out of the room.
“Could you go get your mum here?”
“Sure, are you okay?”
“No, I´m not. I know it sounds stupid when I tell you that I need her right now because I have my own parents back, but…”
“But, there are complete strangers and you need someone familiar to talk to right now.”
“Yeah, could you get her?”
“I´m on my way. Maybe you should go to your room for a few minutes. Try and sort your thoughts. Go ahead. I will send Hermione and Severus up to you and then go get mum.”
“Thanks Ron.” His friend nodded and Harry climbed up the stairs. He needn´t wait long until his bedroom door opened and Mione and Sev came in. Severus hurried to his site and pulled him into his arms, but Harry struggled against him. Severus let go and looked at him questionably.
“I´m sorry, I just…”
“Don´t worry love. You don´t need to explain. We will just sit here with you, okay?” Harry nodded and ran his hands through his hair. They only waited about ten minutes before the door opened the second time. Molly Weasley came in and Ron signalled for the others to leave them alone for a minute. Harry had his face in his hands and was shaking uncontrollably.
“Harry dear…” Harry looked up at his adopted mother and she hurried to pull him against his chest when she saw the tears streaming down his face.
“Oh sweetheart, it will be alright.” She said while patting his hair.
“It´s just…”
“I know honey, it must be quite the shock. I can´t even imagine how you must be feeling.”
“I was so excited when Scrimgeour said that we should try to pull them out, but now… I´m terrified. I don´t know what kind of people they are. I don´t want to tell them all that happened to me. What if they are disappointed in me? What if they are disgusted because of all the things Vernon did? What if they can´t except Severus and me or the babies? I…”
“Harry, I think your fear is completely unfounded.”
“Really?”
“Yes Harry, let me tell you a story, okay?” Harry nodded and waited for Molly to start.

Meanwhile downstairs Lily and James were worried sick about their boy. Where had he gone and why hadn´t he said anything? When Ron and Hermione walked back in, she stood up immediately and walked over to them.
“Where is he?” She asked quietly.
“He needs a little time. He is quite overwhelmed.” Hermione said.
“Is Severus with him?”
“No, he´s upstairs waiting for my mum to calm him down a bit.” Ron told her.
“Your mum?”
“Yes, Harry is an unofficial member of my family. He´s my brother and my mum really think of him as a son. Harry and I met on the train to Hogwarts first year. He spends most of his summers with us.”
“You know him quite well then?”
“Yes, we both do. Why don´t you and your husband come with us? Sirius too. We will catch you up on anything you need to know. We know Harry would have problems telling you everything, so we will do it for him. Taking of some of the burden you know?” Hermione offered. Lily nodded and quickly went to get the others. Remus joined them as well and Hermione thought they should speak upstairs so Severus could be there too. At least until Harry would want to see him. They made the journey upstairs and asked Narcissa to explain the DA to the Diggory´s. They met Severus pacing in the hallway. He looked up at them and Hermione called him over to the sitting space that they rarely ever used. He sat down next to Hermione and avoided looking at Lily at all.
“Alright, before we start, I would ask you to keep your voice down at all times. Harry´s room is not far from here and I don´t want him to stress more then he does already.” She waited for the nods that went around before she continued.
“At the start of the schoolyear, Harry finally confided in Ron and me about his home life and the suspicions he had started to have about Dumbledore. You see, after that night in Godric´s Hollow, Harry disappeared. I expect you know that Sirius went after Peter and was arrested for his murder. Dumbledore took him and brought him to your sister.” She looked at Lily who already had a look of outrage on her face. She held up her hand to stop her from interrupting and went on.
“Harry´s life was bad. Very bad, they abused him, mentally, verbally and that sick son of a bitch of an uncle used him for his other needs as well.” The three marauders went pale. Remus put a calming hand on Sirius´s thigh and James sneaked his arm around his wife and pulled her against him. Silent teras ran down her cheeks and Hermione felt for her.
“They had him cater to their every need and… he, he was looked into a cupboard for the most part of his life, at least until he came to Hogwarts. They starved him as well… The worst part though is, that Dumbledore paid them with Harry´s money to do so.” Sirius would have sprung to his feet if it weren´t for Remus holding him down.
“We are not finished yet… and you will not go rushing out of here, do you understand? Harry needs you here, got it?” He whispered and Sirius nodded.
“Why hasn´t he told someone sooner?” James asked.
“He did, he told Dumbledore at the beginning of third year, but he did nothing to stop it as you can figure. He didn´t really tell us without force either. Harry is a very private person and after he started getting suspicious of the headmaster, he didn´t trust anyone anymore. Except for Severus here.” It was the first time that Severus looked up from his hands. Lily arched an eyebrow at him, but he remained quiet.
“How much has Sirius told you about Harry´s life?”
“I told them everything I knew, so your Hogwarts career until I died.” Hermione nodded relieved that she wouldn´t have to tell everything.
“Then you know that Severus and Harry had a rather explosive relationship. I don´t know the exact moment when Harry started trusting him, but I know that it started long before this year. Severus? Is it alright if I tell them everything? About you know… why you chose to do what you did.” Severus looked at her for a moment but then shook his head, he had to do it on his own. If there was ever a chance for a clean slate, it would be now.
“Lily… You know what my home life was like. I hope you kept your word and never told anyone?” She nodded and there was a sadness in her eyes.
“My father was quite abusive himself. Not the extent Harry went through but it wasn´t great. Lilly and I met before we went to Hogwarts and from the moment, I first spoke to her, she was the one who kept me sane.
We never got along at school you know that. I always wondered what exactly I did to deserve that kind of committed hatred from you. At first, I thought it was simple house rivalry, it took me a few years to figure out that it had nothing to do with that. It had always been because of Lily. What you thought were my feelings for her. Of course, now I know that Dumbledore used to tell you all kinds of stories about me which were all lies and fairy tales, but back then I had no idea. I resented the fact that you always ganged up on me, four against one until Remus here decided that he wouldn´t participate anymore, and Dumbledore never did anything to stop you. That day, after our owls.” Severus locked his eyes with Lily for the next part. She was the one person who needed to hear it the most.
“I have hated myself for calling you that name for the rest of my life. I was just so humiliated, and I lashed out. I didn´t mean it and I never called anyone so ever again except in the situation where I have no choice. When I lost you Lily, I lost myself. You were the only good influence I had in my life and without you to guide me, I lost my way. You know that my brothers were death eaters. After you hadn´t talked to me for a few months, I was sick and tired of feeling alone so I contacted them and that was my doom. I regretted joining the dark lord as soon as I was marked. It was a rather traumatic experience, but I was too terrified to walk away. Did Albus ever tell you that it was me who overheard the prophesy?” James shook his head and Severus was kind of glad.
“I was at the hogshead when Dumbledore met with Trelawney for her job interview. I thought the woman was a joke, she didn´t show any signs of a real seer. But just when I was about to leave something changed in her and she started receiving a prophesy. I only heard first to lines before Aberforth threw me out. I went to the dark lord in hopes of gaining his favour enough so he wouldn´t torcher me for a while but he was most displeased that I had been discovered. He almost killed me that night. We have found out that Dumbledore sent you into hiding in hopes that Voldemort would see it as a sign and would go after you. Dumbledore knew that you were the heir to two founders James so he thought getting rid of you would be advisable. Of course the dark lord did just as he wanted and when I found out I… I begged him to spare your life Lily. I know it is a terrible thing to say, but the thought that you would die, because of something I had brought to him was unbearable. He promised me to give you a choice but deep down I knew that he would kill you regardless. So, I made a decision. I met with Dumbledore and begged him to protect you. To hide you better and from that day on I became his spy. I worked myself to the bones that year to earn my place in his inner circle so I would be privy to the most dangerous information. When the dark lord ordered me to create a knew potion for him, I only delivered it when I had designed the cure as well. I did everything I could to safe as many life’s as possible. But then… Peter decided it was time to tell his master where to find you. When I heard what had happened, I just wanted to die myself. I thought I would never get over your death and I never did.”
“I knew it. Sirius told us that he found out that you are a spy when the order was more active again. I knew you turned your back on him because of me.”
“I always loved you Lily, I was never in love with you, but I loved you very much.”
“I´m so sorry Severus. I should have never abandoned you. I knew you were only steps away of crossing over to the other site and to be honest I was scared. Not of you, I knew you would never hurt me, but of the things I knew you would do to others.”
“Well, back then being in Slytherin, there wasn´t much of a choice. You remember Nicolas Pelvy? He decided not to join the dark lord because he had killed his parents who were his loyal followers and everyone in our house turned against him. He held out for a week and then he left school because it became too dangerous for him to be around.” His classmates nodded as they remembered. Hermione smiled. Who would have thought that these three men were able to sit in a room together for half an hour? Not ones there were insults flying around.
“I´m afraid I was never kind to Harry. I am not proud to say that I let all my bottled-up rage and frustration out on him. In a verbal aspect, I wasn´t much better than his uncle. I don´t know how many times I threw your name into his face. He just… he looked exactly like you. I mistook his ignorance of all things magical for arrogance and did to him exactly what Dumbledore had done to me. You met Draco Malfoy earlier, he was Harry´s bully. Harry and his friends never fired the first insult or spell. They mostly ignored him until he insulted one of them. He tempered with their potions, and I let him get away with it. It´s just… you where always so ruthless to me I couldn´t help the resentment coiling inside me every time I laid eyes on him. But… I always protected him when he needed me to and I never harmed him physically in any way.” Severus looked down at his hands in shame. Lily looked at him disapproving but Hermione could see a flicker of understanding in her eyes.
“It was the first night of this schoolyear that I ran into him in the middle of the night. He was meeting with one of the house elves at school and I discovered that he was injured, and he looked like he hadn´t eaten in months. I decided to let him go that night, without telling him that I saw him and called him in my office the next day. I kind of forced the truth out of him and I was utterly shocked when I heard of the extent of his abuse. Something changed between us that evening. I ran into him a few days later and accompanied him to Gringotts to make sure no one would harm him and the things we discovered there made us believe it necessary to act. We build an alliance to fight against both Dumbledore and the dark lord and things just progressed from there.”
“Wow that is quite a tale. But Hermione said you mean everything to him. What did she mean by that?”
“We all decided in the light of the situation, that it would be best to just forget the past completely. We never had a full-on discussion about every little thing that went wrong before. We just accepted that we all had made mistakes. We just started a new. We tell each other everything now. We all became friends rather quickly after we let go of all the misassumptions, we held for each other. You know about Harry´s visions Sirius and after a very disturbing one he asked Ron and I to leave. He needed to talk about them but wanted to shield us. He knew Severus could handle it, so he confided in him. It was just us four at the time so there was no one else really. They grew a lot closer after that. Severus took on the role of his protector and they just fell for another. It was inevitable. There is another prophesy about Harry that stated that together with his friends and fated partner, he would change the world as we know it. Fate chose Severus and Harry to come together and believe me when I say that I have never seen Harry happier. Severus really has become most important to all of us.” The marauders looked at Remus who nodded.
“It´s true. He is good for Harry. He understands him like no one else does because they have lived very similar life´s. I am telling you now, if you want to be in Harry´s life, you will have to find a way to get on board because Harry WILL choose him over you if he is forced to.”
“He hasn´t said anything, but we know him. He is terrified to upset you, but he is even more scared for Severus. Because it was something he never had, Harry loves deeply. His friends, all the people he calls family now. More importantly, ones you can count yourself to be one of the lucky ones he chooses, he will never stop protecting you. He would throw himself between you and the killing curse for every single one of us and we would do the same for him.” Ron told them.
“Is there anything else we should now about?” James asked.
“Oh, so very many things but most can wait. Vernon is dead. Neville Longbottom took care of him after Harry discovered that he had assaulted his cousin as well. Dudley is staying at Hogwarts with us. Don´t worry, we have a safe place there. Dumbledore can´t get to us and we do everything we can to avoid him at all times. Let´s see…” Hermione blushed.
“Ahm… Harry has made me a member of the Potter family. I was born to muggles and after Voldemort came back, I made sure my parents would be safe. I never went back to them so Harry who always wanted siblings made me his. He did the same for Draco although he is a Black.”
“But Harry is also a Weasley. We adopted him first.”
“Ronald! This is not a competition.”
“I know, I just wanted to say it again.” Hermione rolled her eyes but grinned.
“What else… Harry has claimed the school but no one outside the DA knows that he is the heir. Only Scrimgeour knows as well. We gained his alliance at the end of last year. We want to keep Dumbledore ignorant as long as possible, so we have time to come up with a solution how to get rid of him and I think that is pretty much it for now.”
“Just one more thing.” Ron said.
“We will tell Harry that we have caught you up on some stuff. When he comes out, don´t mention the abuse at all. Harry will talk about it when he´s ready. It is enough that he knows that you know, just don´t treat him with gloves. He´s not afraid of touch anymore and as much as he doesn´t want it to, it will hurt him should you hesitate. When the time comes that you are mad at him and trust me it will, his stupid self-sacrificing head and honourability can get quite infuriating at times, don´t make too quick motions near him. Harry will get scared. He never used his magic to defend himself against his uncle because he was afraid, he would do serious harm. He hated him but he would never do it. He is very powerful so he wouldn´t risk it. Keep ten feet between you, you can point a wand at him, and he won´t blink just… keep your distance. It could mess with your relationship if you don´t. It is not smart to threaten any of us as well. Harry is known to lose control when that happens, and he will be vicious.”
“That is all good to know. It sounds like, despite everything our boy has went through, he has grown up to be a great man.”
“He is, but he is also quite insecure. He takes all the guilt of the world even though nothing of this is his fault. It has gotten better but there are times when it hits him all full on again.”
“Thank you, for being there for him all these years.” Lily said to no one in particular.
“We all do it gladly. Harry is the best person we know. He is humble and generous, and he always puts everybody else first.”
“That he does.” Came a voice from behind him. Molly Weasley had stepped into the hallway and closed the door.
“How is he?” Severus asked immediately.
“He´s sleeping. He was exhausted. He needs his sleep. We will have to wake him early so he can get back to Hogwarts. Severus, you really need to leave. You cannot abandon your head of house duties. You need to get back to the castle.”
“I will go right after I see Harry. I just need to make sure he´s okay. Don´t worry, I won´t wake him.” She nodded and Severus stood.
“Wait!” Lily called.
“We will go with you. I want to see my baby.” She stood and pulled James up with her. He led them to the door and pushed it open carefully. He walked up to the bed and ran his hand through Harry´s soft hair. Lily and James watched without a word as Harry turned his head towards his hand and opened his eyes slightly.
“Sev?”
“I´m here Harry. I´m sorry but I have to go. I just wanted to see you before I leave.”
“I´ll go with you.”
“No, you just stay here for the night. I will wait for you in the morning.”
“Okay... love you.” Harry mumbled already half asleep again.
“I love you too. I will see you soon.” He leaned down and pressed a kiss to his forehead before walking away a small blush on his cheeks. He didn´t stop when he passed the two of them until Lilly gently took hold of his arm. He kept his back to her and just waited for her to say something. Lilly sighed.
“We will talk more soon, right?” Severus hesitated but then nodded. She led go of his arm and he walked out. Lily stepped closer to the bed and looked at Harry´s face. Tears welled up in her eyes ones more and she sank down on a seat next to it. James jointed her and pulled her against his shoulder.
“Look at him.” Lily whispered.
“I know… He seems so innocent. When his eyes are closed like this, you would never suspect any of the things he went through.” Lily nodded.
“My poor boy. My perfect little boy. We have missed so much; he is not a boy anymore.”
“If he ever really was.” James added sadly. They just watched him for a while.
“What do you think about all of this?” He asked sometime later.
“Does it really matter? There are only two choices. Except the facts as they are or walk away. You know damn well that I will never walk away from him ever again.”
“Neither would I.” James whispered almost defensively.
“I never said you would.” She sighed.
“This is a lot to take in. Will you be able to accept Severus? If they are together then that makes him family.”
“I heard the story, Lily. And I had a lot of time to think about how I treated people at times. You made sure that I would after all. I can admit when I was wrong. I don´t like it but I will do it. With everything I know about him now, I can see that he is not that bad. The only thing that bothers me a little is the age difference but if I can see with my own eyes that he treats him well, I think I will be able to overcome that.”
“And in a hundred years it will not seem like much of a difference anymore.”
“That too.”
“Bye the way. You look older than you used to. I don´t think we are in our twenty´s anymore.” Lily said.
“Yes, I noticed that too.”
“What do you think how old we are?”
“I think we are around the age we should be.”
“Good, I think that will make things a little easier.”
“What do you mean?”
“Can´t you imagine? Harry get´s his parents back and they are only a few years older than him.”
“Merlin, that would have been terrible.”
“Yeah…”
“Did you see how happy Remus and Sirius are?”
“They always were when they were together.”
“I can´t even imagine being the one left behind. Poor Moony, had to life without all three of us and still carry on. I don´t know if I could have done it.”
“I was so happy to see him again. Sixteen years are a long time.”
“Me too. It´s completely insane that we were just able to come back.”
“Magic is a wonderous thing.”
“I know, but still… We were gone so long. Nothing will be as it was when we left.”
“Maybe that´s a good thing.”
“Maybe.”
“It is what it is. I am just glad that we got a second chance to know him. To be there for him and hopefully give him whatever he needs from us. Let´s get back to the others. I´m sure one of his friends will join him as soon as we leave.” James nodded and they got up. Lily pressed a gentle kiss on Harry´s cheek before they turned and left.

Harry, Ron and Hermione, who had both insisted to stay with him left early the next morning. They didn´t bother waking anyone. They knew that they had to get back and wouldn´t be worried. Well… not too much at least. Harry was glad that he didn´t have to see his parents that morning. He was still tired and dearly needed to go about his normal routine. As promised Severus waited for him in the living room and hurried to him as soon as he walked in. Ron and Hermione quickly left to get changed and Hermione also went into Harry´s room to get his robes.
“How are you?” Severus asked after kissing him deeply.
“All over the place.”
“I can imagine. Did Ron and Hermione tell you about the conversation we had last night?”
“Yes, they have. I´m glad.”
“We thought so.”
“Did they treat you okay?”
“Yes, they did. Don´t worry Hermione wouldn´t have allowed anything else.”
“Good!”
“Will you go see them today?”
“I don´t know.” Harry said looking away. Severus forced his eyes back on him.
“I think they would be very happy if you did.” He said gently.
“Will you come with me?”
“If that is what you want I will.” Harry nodded and took the cloak Hermione gave him after she walked in.
“We need to leave if we want to make it to breakfast at all.” She informed before hurrying to get her bag.
“I´m coming. Did you already eat Sev?”
“Yes, I went early today. I didn´t want to miss you.”
“Alright. See you later then” He called before they hurried out and quickly made their way to the great hall.
“We have fifteen minutes until class starts. Normally we are here sooner, I hope Dumbledore won’t be too suspicious.” Hermione whispered.
“He´s looking in our direction.” Ron said who watched the head table out of the corner of his eye.
“Then just act as normal as possible.” Harry said putting some eggs on his plate. Ron loaded his plate and quickly ate as much as possible as if in a hurry. Harry read the prophet and Hermione read through her homework while eating her fruit salad. When they got up to get to class Harry sighed. Yes, this would be a long day.
