CHAPTER 45 (And Then There Was Two)

“Harry! Octavia says they’re all still alive. A few curses and broken bones but they’ve survived.” Draco bustled in and plonked himself down in the armchair by the fire as he began to uncover the food on the room service trolley. Harry quickly re-dressed himself before he joined Draco over by the fire hungry for food and something to take the metallic taste of Snape’s blood out of his mouth.
“I shan’t ask you how your morning progressed Severus, judging from the smell.” Octavia’s eyebrow raised a fraction at Snape who rolled his eyes and sneered in irritation. There was nothing sacred when his mentor was around and nothing that he could hide even if he tried. Snape continued to drink his glass of water as he watched Octavia join the young wizard sitting by the fire ravishing the room service trolley. “You need to eat too Severus. She’s clean and I figured you need it before tonight especially considering your little fuck up last night.” Octavia gestured flippantly at the tall red head that continued to stand quietly near the door her eyes cast to the floor. Snape glanced cautiously over at Harry who had paused in his own meal to stare at him an unknown conversation passing between them. Before anything could be said however Octavia scoffed loudly and shook his head at his younger charge and his mate. “He’s a vampire Potter get over it. Just because he drinks a bitch doesn’t make them lovers.” Octavia glared at Harry pointedly before glancing at Snape. “Get on with it Severus. We need to talk without her presence.” Harry turned back to his meal intent on not watching the scene play out before him.
Snape sighed knowing that Octavia was right. Putting aside his glass of water Snape sat himself down on the trunk at the end of the bed before gesturing for the young woman to come and kneel before him. The witch obeyed without comment and knelt between Snape’s legs. With an apologetic glance up at Harry, Snape brushed the woman’s hair from her neck before leaning forward and biting.
“So, Draco tells me you met Darius this morning Potter.” Octavia ignored the scene over by the bed and casually addressed Harry. Harry jumped a little at the question as he drew his gaze away from Snape and up to the elder vampire addressing him. Harry glared sideways at Draco for opening his big mouth, but the blonde merely shrugged apologetically as he continued to eat from the selection of plates on the trolley.
“Yeah.” Harry whispered guiltily remembering the scene in the dining room earlier.
“Don’t worry about it Harry. Darius is a pain in the arse. Swans around like he’s the only male vampire to have ever had a kid. Mortimer doesn’t help putting him on a pedestal and spoiling him rotten.” Octavia snorted in contempt as he bit into another sandwich his gaze carefully assessing Harry’s reactions. The boy was so easy to read despite having a good hold of occlumency. “Word is Mortimer’s got his nose out of joint, what with Severus over there claiming the boy-who-lived as his mate.” Octavia smiled crookedly as he heard Snape choke and cough over by the bed clearly amused by what his mentor had said.
“He’s a fool if he thinks Darius is going to help him rise to chair of the council. He’s too volatile.” Snape spoke having finished with the witch. Harry smiled inwardly as his mate came over and pressed a gentle kiss to his forehead before stealing a few sandwiches from the trolley. Octavia watched the exchange between his student and his mate with curiosity, the change between them quite pleasing.
“You can go. The house elf in the hall will see you out.” Octavia waved dismissively at the young woman who obediently left the room, closing the door silently behind her as she went. Harry was glad when she’d left and he settled back in the chair to finish his lunch. Satisfied that the witch had left, Octavia turned back to the group who sat around the fire place.
“Well I arranged a meeting tonight with the Minister of Magic and Dumbledore.” Octavia scooted Draco over on the large chair so that he could sit beside the blonde who was still eating but listening intently. “The Minister of Magic was a jackass and I shan’t bore you all with his ramblings but I believe his supporters are wavering. So I am hopeful that they will accept our terms even if he does not.” Octavia didn’t elaborate on the terms the council had discussed this morning and Snape merely nodded in understanding.
“And they’re all okay?” Harry prompted as he looked at Octavia hopefully.
“Yes. There are injuries and losses but no one close to you. The Aurors are all out in skirmishes and raids. Hogwarts has been over run and that is where they believe Riddle is. The majority of refugees are in the Ministry, or have been sent home.” Harry sighed heavily as he felt Snape’s hand come to rest on his shoulder, the potion stained fingers squeezing slightly in comfort. “Lupin and the headmaster asked after you. I believe they and ‘The Order’ are staying at number 12.” Octavia chose his words carefully watching as both Harry and Snape nodded in understanding. Draco had become close to them and was Snape’s godson but he was still the son of Lucius Malfoy. Draco it seemed was oblivious to the information he’d missed. Harry assumed that the blonde was just happy that Hermione was well and safe.
“So our next course of action is?” Snape prompted as he watched Octavia smile softly having alleviated both Harry and his own worry about those they’d left behind.
“We prepare ourselves to kick the shit out of Riddle.” Octavia stood up from the seat beside Draco and stepped out from the small seating area around the fireplace. “The council is preparing our own force downstairs and those not able to fight are being scattered to our safe places around the country.” Snape moved away from the boys and trailed Octavia over to the door. The boys were still talking quietly over by the fireplace and Snape took the time to speak quietly with his mentor. “I’ll have cloaks and leathers sent up for you and the boys.” Snape nodded and took a step closer to Octavia so that their conversation would not be overheard by Harry and Draco.
“How is it really?” Snape whispered knowing well that his mentor had down played the seriousness of the state of the Ministry.
“Chaos. Fudge doesn’t know what to do first, the death eaters are winning every battle. They’ve got no one to pin their hopes on, no one to fight for. Dumbledore is refusing to let the Order of Phoenix help until he knows that Harry is safe with them. Your little fledgling means the world to them.” Octavia eyed Snape cautiously watching as the younger vampire closed his eyes and sighed heavily. “Don’t stress Severus, this will all work out. Harry has us on his side now. Riddle won’t know what hit him. The boy has changed and Riddle will never be able to predict him like he did in the past.” Snape nodded as Octavia reached out and pressed a comforting hand to his shoulder
“Is that the reason you lied to the council this morning? Harry told me you haven’t touched him.” Snape lowered his voice as he heard Draco and Harry talking over by the fire, unaware still of the elder’s hushed conversation. Octavia’s stern expression softened and he quietly shook his head at Snape. He knew from the expression on Snape’s face that he was concerned about the consequences of lying to the council.
“No I didn’t lie to them. I didn’t need to check Harry’s fertility.” Snape’s frown deepened as his mentor stepped impossibly closer and reached his hands up to cup Snape’s cheeks. “Close your eyes and concentrate on Harry.” Closing his eyes obediently Snape did as he was being instructed as he focused his mind on his mate sitting not more than a meter away from him. “Feel him breathing.” Octavia’s voice was quiet and smooth his breath just ghosting against Snape’s face. “Breath in his scent, listen to his pulse and feel his magic…” Octavia’s voice trailed off as he watched Snape sharing the bond with his mate. “Do you feel it?” Octavia whispered as he watched the expression of concentration change on Snape’s face. Snape’s eyes snapped open an audible gasp of surprise falling from his lips as he stared at his mentor in shock.
“There are two magical signatures.” Snape breathed out in shock and Octavia smiled as realization dawned on Severus face.

“Congratulations Dad.” Octavia whispered as he dropped his hands from Snape’s face a warm smiled on his lips as Snape continued to stare at him in shock. “I’ll meet you downstairs in an hour. Get yourself and the young wizards ready.” With a congratulatory pat on Snape’s back Octavia spared the two wizards over by the fire a sly smile before he turned and left, leaving Snape still staring in shock at where his mentor had stood not a moment before.
***********************************

Harry stood nervously in the center of lobby of the hotel. All around him bats, vampires, witches and wizards bustled and flew to and fro across the room. Draco stood beside him, the pair of them dressed in soft leather trousers, deep forest green dueling robes and beautiful black cloaks. The cloaks Snape had explained were those favored by vampires as they seamlessly changed as the vampires transfigured between bat and wizard form. They also provided the wearer with the ability to slide into shadows and hide when needed. Harry knew the cloak wasn’t as helpful as his father’s invisibility cloak but it was the best the vampires could offer in protection and he’d thankfully accepted it as Snape had secured it about his person.
“Did you see where Uncle went?” Draco whispered as he stood close to Harry in the organized chaos of the lobby. Harry shook his head as he scanned the crowd around him having lost Severus and Octavia in the swell of people.
Finally though the bustling seemed to slow and Harry and Draco relaxed a little as Severus and Octavia appeared from a back room, trailing the other members of the council. The small group of seven vampires approached them and Draco leaned sideways in towards Harry.
“Merlin’s balls, they look scary as hell.” Draco whispered to Harry as the two wizards looked at the group striding towards them.
“Is it wrong to be turned on right now?” Harry chuckled nervously across at Draco as they both took in the sight. All the vampires looked similarly attired, leather pants, thick wool robes and the same beautiful cloaks Harry and Draco wore. The swirl of the cloaks around the group was like a tornado of black and Harry bit his lip as he glanced at the men’s faces stern and austere. There wasn’t an ugly one among them and Harry had to admit he’d pretty much hit the jackpot with Snape.
“If I wasn’t so fucking scared I think I’d have wood right now. They’re fucking impressive and I’m straight.” Draco chuckled back quietly at Harry the two boys blushing as the group stopped in front of them. Snape and Octavia didn’t miss the guilty smiles that graced Draco and Harry’s faces but neither vampire chose to speak of it as Attila addressed the now silent lobby.
“You two will portkey first to the Ministry. We will follow afterwards. The Ministry’s wards are a somewhat delicate operation to breach. We are after all Dark Creatures and despite the Minister agreeing to this meeting we doubt he would roll out the welcome mat for us.” Attila sneered in irritation at the very mention of the Ministry’s laws that had oppressed their kind for years. “Once The Minister has agreed to the terms of our assistance, we will attack Hogwarts at once. Our intelligence says that is where Riddle is and we cannot allow him to become aware of our alliance with The Ministry and have time to defend. An immediate attack will hopefully catch him before he can regroup.” Attila looked around at the face in the full lobby. Everyone was listening intently and nodding in muttered agreement. “Octavius and Severus are our guides to Hogwarts. You need to keep your formations and protect our own. Good luck and stay safe, we will regroup here to celebrate our victory.” Attila ended his speech and the group in the lobby began moving around again in last minute preparations for their invasion of The Ministry of Magic. The small group of vampire elders remained still however and Harry sighed as Snape step forward to them.
“Wands out and stay close to one another. It may take us a few minutes to get through the wards into the arrivals hall of the Ministry.” Dutifully Harry and Draco drew their wands as Snape stared at them seriously. “Be careful the both of you.” Snape was clearly torn about letting the two wizards out of his sight and Harry felt warmth spread through his body at the clear display of protectiveness that Snape had displayed.
“Are we ready?” Octavia stepped up beside Snape and smiled warmly at the pair of young wizards. Harry and Draco nodded firmly as Octavia handed them each a porcelain salt and pepper shaker. “Just shake and wait then.” Octavia shook his own hand in demonstration however before either Draco or Harry could do so, Snape leant in and pressed a swift kiss to Harry’s lips.
“Remember I’m with you.” Snape whispered against Harry’s lips as he drew back and both he and Octavia stepped away from the two boys. Harry held Snape’s azure gaze for a long moment before he sighed and glanced at Draco.
“On three?” Harry whispered and watched as Draco nodded. “One, Two……” As the boys shook their respective portkeys, there was a swirling of magic before twin pops echoed in the lobby of the hotel and the two young wizards disappeared.
