Birthdays and Grangers.

Laughter filled the Manor, at the atrocious singing of the adults. Harry and Draco were holding hands by Harry's birthday cake, trying to hold each other up, laughing so hard at the way the grown ups were butchering the Happy Birthday song. "They sound worse than they did for me, Harry," Draco whispered through his laughter. Harry could only nod his head at his best friend's statement. They sounded awful.

Lucius was trying hard not to laugh himself, as all the adults sang off key, enjoying the sounds of joyful laughter coming from the boys. It had been very similar at Draco's fifth birthday, except this time around, Dobby was singing louder than anyone else, and bobbing along to an imaginary tune in his head. They had discovered many things about the bond between Dobby and Harry. They now knew that Dobby could protect people and the environment around them from Harry's power surges, they knew that Harry's accidental magic would not harm Dobby, even if Harry was lashing out in anger or sorrow. They also discovered that Dobby had increased in power himself. The little elf was now one of the most powerful house-elves in the world, and in time as his powers grew with his Master's he would become, like Harry, the most powerful of his kind.

After researching, Lucius and Severus had finally realised how Dobby seemed to know things, he needed to know things to be the best protector for Harry. As their bond grew and Harry's power grew, so did Dobby's. The men were fascinated. They also discovered that Fawkes had been helping long before he broke contact with Dumbledore. Oh and what a headline that had made.

Lucius was taken back to Harry's fourth birthday, when the Phoenix had flamed in, as he did every year for Harry's birthday. He took up his usual spot on Severus' shoulder, and watched. It was just after everyone had sat down to cake that things changed. Fawkes seemed to grow, and it wasn't until you looked closely that you realised he was glowing, the light becoming almost blinding as the bird moved towards Harry.

Harry held out his little arm and Fawkes lowered his head, his beak resting in Harry's small palm, them he cried, three tears, and they sunk into Harry's skin causing the little boy to squeal with delight. "Yes, oh yes please," Harry had screamed, while laughing, and then in a blinding flash, it was all over. Fawkes and Harry were now bonded.

Four days later, he had issued a statement to Rita Skeeter, who had become quite popular, the article had been very amusing to Lucius. The only thing that he was uncertain about was the talk about the Prophecy.

Dumbledore abandoned by Phoenix, has the man turned dark?

It has come to this reporters attention that the Phoenix known as Fawkes, bonded to one Albus Dumbledore, broke the bond with the Headmaster days after Harry Potter survived the Killing Curse. I discovered, that four days ago, the same Phoenix bonded itself to Harry Potter, our Saviour, during his fourth birthday party. What a wonderful present for a little boy to receive. But that brings to mind, what exactly did Albus Dumbledore do to cause a Phoenix, who are loyal and loving creatures, and pure light, turn its back on the Headmaster? One can only speculate that Mr Dumbledore has turned his back on the light. There can be no other explanation for the severing of such a bond by the familiar.

When questioned, Albus Dumbledore stated that he had asked Fawkes to break the bond and bond himself to Harry to help keep him safe. "I know that Harry Potter will have a fight ahead of him, if the Prophecy is true, so I sent Fawkes to help the boy with his task. Fawkes was a great help to me when I defeated Grindelwald, and I knew Harry would benefit from his help, when Voldermort once again rose."

This reporter can only say, nice try in covering your own bottom Headmaster. As to whether Voldermort would rise again, I went to the Minister himself for conformation as to whether this could occur.

"At this time, we believe Voldermort to be deceased, but if at any time we discover that he has found a way to come back, the Ministry will do everything in its power to defeat him again. As for this Prophecy Dumbledore speaks of, the Unspeakable's have gone over every word, and it has been discovered that Harry Potter has already fulfilled the Prophecy, when he defeated Voldermort the night the madman killed our Saviour's parents."

When Lucius finally snapped out of his memories, Harry was already opening presents, and Filius was looking at the man strangely. "Everything all right Lucius?" the little man asked.

"Oh, yes, quite fine, just lost in thought." Lucius replied.

Filius had written to Sirius after discovering the clause in the Will. They had exchanged letters for a while, secretly, and Filius had finally come to meet Harry when the boy was three. The little man had fallen head over heals for little Harry, and was a constant visitor to the Manor now. Though they still kept it from Dumbledore. Filius had also viewed the memories.

Now that the boys were both five, they were to begin their training, and Filius had offered his services in Charms, and later on duelling. To have a Charms Master and a Potions Master to teach the boys was priceless, not to mention the fact that Filius was a renown Duellist. Remus and Sirius were going to be working with the boys on Defence Against the Dark Arts, Narcissa was going to be in charge of Transfiguration. Lucius and a few tutors would be helping the boys with Wizarding Protocol, such as law and finances. They had all subjects covered and the boys would be going into Hogwarts fully prepared and experienced.

With what Harry had to face in the past, they were making every effort so in case they could not change certain things Harry and Draco were totally prepared to handle any situation. They had made so may changes already, and things were looking up, but the trio had always kept in mind that it was foolhardy to underestimate Albus Dumbledore. No matter how much they discredited him, there would always be those who would follow the man and do his dirty work and it was their jobs to make sure these people were kept away from Harry and Draco.

Lucius chuckled as Harry rushed over with a plate for him, "you didn't come and get cake Uncle Lucius," Harry exclaimed as he handed over the plate, and gave Lucius a look as if to say he had serious problems if he forgot cake.

"Thank you, Harry," Lucius said as he took the cake and bent down to place a kiss on Harry's messy hair. He could not believe how much him and Narcissa had fallen for the little Saviour and thanked his lucky stars he was able to be in the life of such a remarkable child. Harry smiled at him and rushed off when Draco called.

The two boys had grown so close, and Lucius could not believe the change in his own son this time around. Draco was a happy child the first time around, but this time, he seemed to have a confidence he didn't posses before. He was also a kind, sweet child, much like Harry, though he still had more tantrums than Harry had, and sometimes they had to call Harry in to calm Draco down, since no one else could manage it.

Lucius walked over to Severus, once everyone had finished their cake and the boys were playing quietly with Harry's toys. "I think it's time we brought in friends for Harry, especially the Granger girl. She was very loyal to Harry, and the earlier we get her the easier it will be to mould her into the perfect Slytherin. We also need to get rid of her need to please her teachers and take their word as if Merlin himself had spoken. Imagine the damage Dumbledore could do if he got his hands on her."

"I already have her monitored, and the moment she has a surge of accidental magic, we will be paying a visit to her parents. Sirius will also be paying a visit to the Longbottom's, to have Neville join the tutoring sessions for the boys. If we work with him early, and dissuade," Severus' lip curled up in slight disgust, "that woman from making the boy use his father's wand, instead of matching him with his own, he will be much better off."

"Always a step ahead, old friend," Lucius said with a smirk.

"Somebody has to be, you are so distracted by making the boys richer and more powerful, someone has to keep up with the day to day." Severus smirked back and chuckled slightly at the look on Lucius' face.

"Well, finances are important, and if we had not looked into them, Dumbledore would have robbed Harry blind." Lucius huffed. He then smirked and turned to face Severus fully, "how is it living with the dog and the wolf?" Lucius laughed out loud at the look of disdain on his friend's face.

"Cheap shot, Lucius, even for you," Severus said and walked away.

The truth was the three were getting along very well, not that Severus would ever admit it out loud. The bond between the three was made easier by Harry, all wanted to give him the life he deserved and would put up with Pettigrew if they had to.

The hunt for Pettigrew was still on, and people who had rats, were bringing them in to the Ministry to be tested. They were inundated with the animals, but no luck so far. It was times like this that Severus realised that if Sirius had gone after Pettigrew he would be easier to find, since he would have a finger missing and that would be distinctive on a rat.

They did however keep an eye on the Weasley's just in case Percy found that rat again, this time around.

The boys' lessons had been progressing nicely, Draco and Harry were joined by Neville Longbottom, Blaise Zabini, Pansy Parkinson, Vincent Crabbe, Gregory Goyle and Susan Bones. They had also talked to Mr Lovegood, to include Luna next year, as she was also a very good friend to Harry. Sirius and Remus were very worried about Parkinson and Crabbe and Goyle, as their parents were suspected Death Eaters, but out of all the group, they were the only ones that Lucius and Severus could bring over to their side, and none had the Dark Mark, making their families stick close and support one another. And everybody new that Ms Zabini was neutral, since all she was worried about was finding a new husband, and much to everyone's amusement and his utter dismay, her eyes were set on Severus.

At this point the children were being taught the academic side of magic, they would not be given their practice wands until they were seven. Though the adults did display wand movements and incantations for them to commit to memory. It was during a lesson with Professor Flitwick on the importance of wand movement and pronunciation, that Severus came barrelling into the classroom.

"Filius, we need to head over to the Granger's house, there has been a massive spike of magic reported." Flitwick squeaked with delight and jumped down from his seat.

Severus turned to Harry and Draco, "I would like you two boys to come with us, the rest of you, stay put, Lucius will be in to take over your lesson." The children left over groaned at that, knowing that they would now be discussing Wizarding Etiquette. Boring.

Narcissa, it had been decided, should go too, so that the Grangers did not feel even more overwhelmed in an already surprising situation. So she grabbed hold of her son, while Severus took Harry and Apparated to the Granger home, Filius following.

They heard the screams as they walked up the drive, and could see flames coming from the house, they also heard a little girl crying. They rushed up and knocked on the door, which was answered by a woman who looked anxious. Her brows rose in shock as she saw the strange looking people at her door and asked in a high voice, "can I help you?"

"Actually," Narcissa replied, "we are here to help you. May we come in?" Mrs Granger was so shocked she just opened the door and made a sweeping gesture with her hands. She followed them into the kitchen where there was a small fire spreading, while her husband tried to put it out with a tea towel.

She watched in abject fascination as one of the men, the tall one, pulled out a stick and waved it around, and she was stunned when the fire went out, and the damage was repaired before her eyes. She swivelled when she heard a soft voice speaking in hushed tones, and watched as the pretty woman seemed to calm her child down, and shrugged her shoulders at her husband as he turned to her for answers.

"My name is Severus Snape, the woman talking to your daughter is Narcissa Malfoy, the small man next to me is Professor Filius Flitwick, and the children are Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy. We are here, because a bout of accidental magic was registered at this address." The Grangers looked at him as if he had two heads.

"Magic, you say," Mr Granger said as he headed for the phone.

"Did you or did you not just witness me putting out a fire and repairing the damage with a wave of my wand?" Severus asked, trying very hard to keep the sneer out of his voice. But really he had little tolerance for dunderheads.

Mrs Granger placed her hand on her husband's arm, and tried to smile reassuringly at him, "let's hear them out, you know Hermione has done some strange things in the past at school." Severus could have smacked himself in the head at his own stupidity. How could he forget the school, he had often wondered why it had taken this long for little Granger's magic to manifest, considering in the past she was a strong witch.

They sat down and Flitwick summoned a tea service, much to the delight of Hermione and surprise of the Grangers, and they discussed magic and Hogwarts, and the early education of Hermione so she would not be behind the other students of the school, while Harry, Draco and Hermione played near by.
