Chapter 51
“Did you see Arthur's face? Did you?”
“Yes, Harry, Dad had a blast at Serena’s party,” responded Ron rolling his eyes.
Harry had been talking about the party all morning. Ron couldn’t understand what Harry and King’s obsession with birthday parties was.
“All Aurors must report to Diagon Ally immediately,” came the booming voice within the Aurors headquarters.
Harry and Ron reacted on their training. Soon the floos at the Ministry were being inundated by Aurors. Harry and Ron were able to squeeze into one and were soon coming out of a floo at the Leaky Cauldron. They did not have to touch the brick wall it was open to all the Aurors that were responding to the call. No sooner had they passed the wall did they see the great big screen in the middle of the street way above all the stores. It rivaled the one at the Quiddtich World Cup. There before their eyes Ron and Harry could see Richard, Nicky and Matthew standing in a row. They seemed quite upset when all of a sudden they raised their hands and out of thin air they made brooms appear. The crowed “ooo and aaaaa” at what they were seeing on the giant screen. Soon the three boys were flying over a pond. They were not wearing the same clothing but the crowed did not seem to notice the minor discrepancy. These were little children between the ages of 4 and 5 and they were doing magic that most grown up wizards could not achieve. You accio a broom you don’t make it appear. Ron and Harry looked at each other knowing how this all must look to the spectators.
“Yes! My fellow citizens. What we are witnessing is scary. I myself tremble to see the children of these Death Eaters growing in power. In Black and Dark Magic!”
“Lies!” yelled Harry without thinking of his actions. “You are lying. You took those out of context. My son can’t make a broom appear nor more than any of us can. It was a reducto spell. That is all. Any of us could have done that.”
“Any of our four year olds?” asked Single with a smirk.
The crowed was fallowing the conversation from Single at the front of the stage to Harry at the back of the wall.
“No, it wasn’t them!” assured Harry. Ron had to hold Harry’s arms in fear that he would make it worse by saying who had done the magic but Harry had no intentions of helping one child by turning in the other. “Listen, we are missing the big picture here. This was all taken at my daughter’s birthday party. Single and his men invaded me and my family’s privacy. Is that the kind of authority you want to give him?”
“Yes, your daughter. The daughter of Severus Snape, the Dark Lord’s right hand man,” said Single bringing the spectators attention back where he wanted it.
“My husband is an innocent man. Without his help the light would…”
INNOCENT MAN!” roared Single. “Take a look and judge for yourself…” he said pointing his wand at the screen.
When they looked up at the screen they saw little Serena in her pretty birthday outfit one scene and turning into a fawn the next scene. “Black Magic,” people gasped. Soon everyone’s attention was directed to Single who was standing on a podium in front of the screen with a very satisfied expression of his face.
“Do you really want children of Malfoy, Snape and Goyle growing up to become the next Dark Lords? Do you not remember how nearly impossible it was to get rid of one child of bad and evil?”
Harry was about to rebuttal the fact that it had been he who had done away with the Dark Lord but he and Ron were pulled by the neck back into the Leaky Cauldron’s yard and where being dragged into the pub.
“Oy!” protested Ron and Harry. They were about to take their wands out when they saw that it was Sly who was dragging them.
“Harry, you’ve got to get your family to safety. Kings already on it. Luckily, the idiot thinks Matthew is Goyle’s child so he will have no clue to where to start looking and I have just the place to take them. Go! Harry, Go!”
Harry and Ron realized that they had been wasting precious time.
“Ron, go to Hagrid. Tell him I am going to need his help. I will meet you two at the entrance of the Forbidden Forest,” barked Harry as he was heading towards the floo.
“Forbidden Forest, Forbidden Forest. Why does it always have to be the Forbidden Forest,” cried Ron as he resized his broom and took off to Hagrid’s hut.

“Severus! Severus where are you?” Harry yelled as soon as he entered his sitting room.
Severus walked down the steps. “Sir, why are you here so early. Is there something wrong?”
But Harry had no time to explain. He had a plan and was barking orders left and right. “Kneel!”
“Sir?”
“Severus this is no time to question my authority. Kneel! Now!”
Severus kneeled and bowed his head. He heard when Harry gave the next order but it was not for him to follow.
“Accio Severus’ wand.”
Severus had no idea what was going on. Why did Harry call for his wand? In all the years that they had been together the wand was barely mention much less summoned. The wand came floating from upstairs right into Harry’s extended hand. Harry took the wand and touched the tip of the wand to Severus’ bowed head.
“I Harry James Potter give you, Severus Snape, your magical powers back. ”
Severus body began to shake and soon he fell to the ground unconscious. Harry felt his heart stop beating. It was a way too familiar scene, one that he did not care to relive. Did he say it wrong? Had he hurt his husband? He knelt down besides the unresponsive body and took it in his arms.
“Severus, Severus, please open your eyes. I need you. We need to get our children to safety. Please Severus, I can’t do this alone. Please. ”
Severus’ eyes scrunched up as if not knowing which way was open and which way was closed. Finally he was able to sort it out.
“Harry… I… I don’t understand. Why?”
Harry was so happy to see his husband responding but he had little time for explanations.
“Severus I will explain once we get to safety,” he said lifting his husband up with him. “Start using your wand to pack the children’s things. We may never come back here so back the essentials. ”
All of the sudden he saw the floo flair up. They both pointed their wands at it and they were amazed to see that no one came through but there in the fireplace was a small beaded handbag. Harry recognized it at once. He picked it up. “Thank you, Hermione,” and he gave it to Severus. “It’s a bottomless pit. She spelled it so you could fit a small country in there. Go! Pack as much as you can.”
Severus stared at the handbag for a minute then he saw the wand in his other hand. Things were happening too quickly but he trusted Harry and certainly trusted Hermione’s abilities as a witch. So he pointed his wand at Serena’s small rocking chair that was in the sitting room and soon, without words, the rocking chair was floating towards Severus and into the bag. Harry looked at him and shook his head.
“Show off,” he said giving his husband a reassuring smile. Then he was back to business “Kreacher!”
Snap! “Yes, Harry Potter, Sir. How is Kreacher of service?” he said tuning his eyes to look at what Severus was accomplishing and noticing that his master had a wand in his hand. He turned to Harry and with tears in his eyes hugged Harry’s legs. “Thank you, Master Harry, you is being the best…”
“Kreacher! Not know,” said Harry pulling the small creature away from him. “My family is in danger. I must get you all to safety. Pack your things. I am hoping you will be able to travel alone. I don’t want to let the children out of my sight, but if they do get here before we can make a getaway you will have to take the children to the entrance of the Forbidden Forest and look for Ron and Hagrid.”
“Kreacher is doing this right away,” said the elf with great pride.
“No, listen, you must get your things together we may never be able to come back. Single is going to get himself elected as Prime Minister. Do you understand what that means?”
“Master Potter, Kreacher has nothing of value but his family. I is need to help you get your family to …”
“Kreacher, how many times am I going to tell you? You are my family.”
Again Harry found the little creature wrapped around his legs. Severus decided to intervene.
“Kreacher, can you please get the children ready. Please tell them that as a special treat we are going to the glade a day early. We don’t want them to worry.”
Kreacher looked at Severus and said: “My masters is not worrying. Kreacher is knowing how to take care of the little masters,” he said as he snapped his fingers and left the room.
“You will have to fly the floos are not safe,” said Harry looking at Severus for his reaction.
“I have done so before.”
Harry did not know quite how to phase his thoughts so he just came out with it. “On a broom.”
“I repeat, I have done so before,” responded Severus.
Soon Richard came down running. “Papa! Papa! Is it true are we going to the…” but he stopped when he saw his Harry. “Never mind, Serena, Dada is home early. We’re not going,” he said showing his disappointment.
“Oy, why can’t we go to the glade?” asked Harry.
Richard looked at his Dada with a stunned look on his face. “But you never come with us to the glad.”
Harry considered his son’s words. In two months he would turn five and he was right. Harry had never taken a Tuesday off to go to the glad with his family but this was no time for regrets. “Well, there is always a first time.”
The floo started to flair and Harry and Severus pointed their wands at it. Each casting protective spells so no one could come through.
“Papa! You have wand!” said Richard in amazement.
“Kreacher!” yelled Harry.
Kreacher appeared with Serena. Harry knelt by the elf’s side. “You must go. We will catch up with you. Go!”
“Kreacher is not leaving his family behind,” he said as he could see the floo shacking.
“Severus, you must make him go.”
“Husband, he will go as soon as we get out, wont you Kreacher?” said Severus thinking it was unwise to stop and discuss these matters at this time.
Harry noticed as Richard clung to Severus’ trousers. He was visibly frighten and it was pulling at Harry’s heart. “Richard, I need a favor from you. We are going to have to travel in two brooms and you know how Papa doesn’t do brooms.”
Richard turned to look at is Dada following his train of thought and shook his head.
“I am going to need you to fly the broom for Dada. Do you think you can keep up with me?”
Richard shook his head again. The floo shook to its core.
Harry looked at Severus and Severus gave him a reassuring glance.
“All right then, change of plans, Kreacher you are taking Serena to the Forb… to the glade,” corrected Harry. “Go now.” And Kreacher did as he was told. Harry took a small parcel out of his pocket and resized it. “Now, Richard, I know you are a great flyer but I am going to have to challenge you a bit. You will have to wear my invisibility cloak. It’s going to be a bit tricky until you get use to it; understood?”
Richard shook his head again. And Harry saw relief on Severus’ expression. Relief that was short lived as the floo was practically falling apart before their very eyes.
“Let’s go,” said Harry mounting Richard on his fastest broom. When Severus got on Harry placed the cloak over both of them. Severus pulled it off. “NO!”
“Yes, keep your legs up and they won’t be able to see the broom. Do not disobey, Severus,” said Harry with all the authority he could muster. Severus understood the plan and picked up his feet and wrapped then around the end of the broom. With the cloak over them Harry couldn’t tell where they were.
“Perfect, Richard, you must be quiet no matter what you see. Is that understood?”
“Yes, dada,” and quickly brought his hand to his mouth realizing he had spoken.
“Let’s go,” said Harry guiding his son up the stairways and out of the gable in the attic. Soon Single and his men were hot on what seem to be only Harry’s broom. Harry had hoped that they would have more of an advantage. He would have to rely on his abilities on the broom to get rid of Single and his men but to Harry’s dismay they were all on brooms as fast as Harry’s. Harry felt a spell that missed him by an inch. They were too close and this was getting too dangerous. He would have to surrender and hope that Severus would have the good sense to go on without him.
