"Lily."Sirius whispered.
"I am Lily of the House of Potter. I thank you for your help with my son." The apparition of Lily turned to Sirius. "I forgive you Sirius and so does James. You were stupid and reckless. I know now that you would give your life for your godson...I knew back then you idiot. But I swear. Fuck up again and I will find a w...
She then looked to twins. "I approve. However if you hurt him, I will haunt you for the rest of your life. Prongs also said that he will prank you for eternity in the afterlife." Everyone gave a chuckle until an ear piercing scream erupted from Harry.
"Ladies we need to go now." Mariss said.
Before the last syllable was finished the apparition of Lily had turned and flew towards her son. Sirius watched in shocked amazement as Lily dove head first into her son’s scar and the other apparitions followed.
Natasha turned to the men. "Sirius now!"
Sirius, Fred, and George pushed all of the love and magic that they could towards the women and watched as a ball of pure magic flew away from them and flew into the scar.
Lily scanned the area with the other women. In search of the spirit. She looked to the right and found it as it repeatedly battered her son.
Lily saw blood. "High Witch Mariss. We need to split up and attack from both sides."
"Agreed. Ladies split up. This is an open mind, so choose a weapon, imagine it, and use it. We focus on the love we have for our children. Use extreme prejudice. Go".
Lily ran towards the threat with Mariss. They took the spirit head on. Lily and Mariss were formidable in their attack. The entity left Harry alone in order to defend himself. The other witches were closing in around him.
The spirit turned to Lily. "You’re dead Mudblood!"
"No shit asshole. You took my life, but the world will burn before I give you my son! Now!
The witches converged on Voldemort and attacked, while Lily dragged her son away from the fight, and held him tight in her arms while rocking back and forth.
"Listen to me son. You will be okay, but the recovery will be long. Your dad and I love you so much. Sirius is a good man. He is a bit...off, but he loves you so much my baby. He will take care of you. We never meant for this war to claim you as well, but your dad and I love you so much.
"I’m so tired mum. I can’t do this anymore. Just let me die.
No sweetheart. It will be over soon. Your father and I love you so much. And so do your friends and Sirius, and Fred and George.
Just then the spirit screamed again as it tried to battle the seven witches fighting him and the outpouring of love being thrust upon him. It turned and fled.
As a black smoking ooze came from Harry’s scar, Natasha was able to capture all of it in. "Aditi!"
The potions mistress came into the room with Leo and took the container.
"Got it. Leo let’s go!" Aditi and Leo raced to the basement. A special containment chamber had been made just for this. Aditi tossed it in and Leo cast cursed fire at it and slammed the door. They both ran out and threw up the strongest containment field they could around the room.
"Well." Aditi breathed out heavily. "I do hope the next nine months will be less eventfull.
"You and me both." Leo panted. "Come on. Let’s see if we’re needed up stairs."
The seven mothers exited the scar. Lily was the last to come out. "Thank you so much for helping my baby. He will need his core unbound. His father placed a bind on his magic because he was a very powerful baby, and we were scared he might hurt himself or someone else. It should have been removed when he was seven, and...
She turned to Sirius. "Thank you again Padfoot." She turned back to the ladies in the room. "May mother magic continue to bless you all." And then an hour after it had started, the ritual was over and the apparitions disappeared.
"Take this fucking barrier down!" Sirius yelled. Lauren complied, and the men rushed towards Harry. Harry was sweating heavily, but his breathing had returned to normal. Natasha was waving her wand head to toe over Harry’s body.
"Natasha?" Sirius looked to her while rubbing his godson’s hand and arm.
Natasha and Lauren were working on making sure Harry was stable.
"He is exhausted, but his vitals are stable. I don’t need the ladies here to remove the bindings, or initiate the healing coma, but at this point I am not willing to try it alone." She looked to her colleague. "Lauren?"
"Agreed." She looked to Sirius. "The time line will have to be pushed back a day. I want him to have at least twelve hours rest before we remove the binding to his core. His body has been through a lot and right now he needs to sleep."
"I don’t care about the timeline. Take whatever rooms you guys need. I am not leaving him."
"Neither are we." The twins said.
"I understand. We will have food sent up to you. And don’t worry about us. We are witches and will make ourselves comfortable." Lauren gave Sirius a smile and rubbed his shoulder. Afterward all the women filed out of the room. Leaving them alone with Harry.
Sirius magically expanded the bed. "Well climb in boys and get comfortable. Don’t know about you, but I need some rest. Sirius took off his shoes, and lay down on Harry’s right side. Fred lay next to him on his left, while George lay against his brother.
"I wish I knew what the hell happened in there." Sirius growled, while rubbing Harry’s scar affectionately.
"You and me both Sirius. I just...I just love him so much and it’s killing me to see him like this. He should be smiling. Why isn’t he smiling? George he isn’t.." Fred began to panic.
"Calm yourself brother mine." George began to stroke Fred’s hair. "Focus on your breathing. Give me your hand Forge." Fred turned to his brother as he always did when he was about to lose his temper. George took his brother’s hand and placed it on his chest. "Focus on the beating of my heart. That’s it. Just breathe. Y...
"Well that was different." Sirius said dazedly. Staring at the twins.
"My brother and I are very...close. He tends to be erratic, even volatile with his emotions, I’m the calm to the storm so to speak. I have more control over my emotions. He helps me to realize when it’s time to get royally pissed off, and fly off the handle. We take care of each other. We always have and always will."
Sirius looked to George and asked what he knew was the truth. "It can’t be easy with all of the siblings in that house?"
George shrugged. "It can get crowded, but we make it work. Lately though, things have been...strained between my mother and us." George waived a hand to indicate himself and his brother.
Sirius waved his wand and had Fred and George switching spots so that George was closer to Harry. "How so?"
"Have you ever met Molly Weasley?" George asked while rubbing Harry’s arm as Sirius chuckled.
"She can be trying on one’s nerves I suppose."
George nodded. "She means well, but her dream for our lives is not one that we share. She wants us to get "respectable" ministry jobs. Freddie and I want to open our own joke shop, and she is trying to squash that dream. She...doesn’t get us you know? It’s been like that all our lives."
"I’m sure she loves you dearly."
"Does she? Sometimes I feel that she was hoping that Freddie and I would take the place of her brothers. And when we didn’t live up to the fantasy, she was disappointed me thinks."
Sirius sighed. "Let’s get some sleep. We can share family drama another time. I’ll have to tell you about my childhood sometime."
George shook his head. "I think I’m going to get something to eat. I’m a bit too wired to try and sleep right now." Just then Rose popped into the room. She magically set the table across the room, then snapped her fingers and food appeared on the table.
"I was told to bring you gentleman some food, but to keep it light. I hope that you enjoy your meal. Please let me know if you need anything else." Rose spoke with a Latin accent, but her English was still impeccable. It was a far cry from what they were used to.
"Wait!" Sirius called out.
"Yes?" Rose asked.
"Your language skills are far different from what we are used to from house elves. I was just curious as to how?" Sirius asked.
Rose looked to the other two people sleeping, and motioned Sirius and George to join her at the table.
"May I sit with you?" Rose asked
"Of course." George said.
Rose took a seat at the table and folded her hands in her lap, and spoke in a low voice so as not to wake the others. "Please. Eat. You will need your strength. I am aware of the current state of house elves in your country. In this country, there are laws regarding our treatment. We share many things in common with ou...
"Wow." George said.
"Yeah. No kidding." Sirius chimed in, between a bite of his sandwich.
Rose gave a high pitched chuckle. "The witches and wizards that we serve also respect our magic. They know that although we are not human, we have powerful magic of our own. In England, you treat your house elves as glorified slaves. Giving elves clothes in my country means it is a sign that we have done well. In your ...
"That’s...that’s amazing." Sirius whispered.
Rose got up from her chair. "You need to rest gentlemen. Get some sleep." She disappeared with a pop.
"I’m going to bed. This is just...wow." Sirius got up after downing his orange juice. He walked over to the bed and got under the covers. It seemed that the moment his head hit the pillow, he was asleep.
George watched as he snuggled closer to Harry, and knew that it would not be long before he was deeply asleep. Harry was his anchor to reality and humanity and Sirius needed the contact.
George got up from the table after finishing his meal of soup, a sandwich, and tea and made his way to the door. He made his way down the stairs into the sitting room. He came face to face with Leo.
Leo was sitting in an armchair in the formal parlor sipping brandy while staring into the fire, contemplating the events of the day.
The women of the house were...somewhere on the property, doing God knows what. He learned a long time ago that when it came to inner workings of women in large groups; be they mortal, vampire, or witch, a man was safest to be elsewhere while there was plotting going on.
He had seen bad men in his lifetime. But to witness the true manifestation of evil was...unsettling. Being a vampire, he knew that although he was immortal, he was not omnipotent and could be killed. Even with that knowledge, he would never do what this monster did.
Harry was just a child. He had lost so much in his short time, and to be chased by this...demon. Leo was broken from his musings by the sound of a redhead walking into the room.
Leo looked at the boy. He saw the storm brewing in his eyes. The kid was tired but he was fighting the chance to sleep. Leo was fascinated by the boy. He was fiercely loyal to his brother and Harry. He was patient and observant, which would make sense of why he was so good at potions. Leo looked at him and could tell h...
"Follow me." Leo said as he walked from the room.
George didn’t know what he had expected when he walked into the room where Leo was sitting nursing his drink. He did know that the emotions that he was feeling were about to overwhelm him. He really liked Leo, with the short time that he had been around him. He was quiet, but a fierce warrior. So when Leo said follow m...
Leo led George to the west end of the house where the gym was set up. He walked into the large room that he was quite proud of and went towards the heavy bag. He picked up a pair of gloves and handed them to George.
"Put these on."
George looked at the strange things that were thrust into his hands.
Leo rolled his eyes at the British upbringing that this wizard had. He helped George into the heavy bag gloves and placed him in front of the bag.
"My two questions are. What is on my hands? And what are you asking me to do.
"Forgive me Mr. Weasley. This is called a heavy bag. The gloves on your hands help protect them from damage." Leo took a stance behind the bag to hold it.
"Hit it as hard as you can."
"What?" George asked
Leo moved around the heavy bag and put himself into George’s personal space. "I said. Hit it as hard as you can."
George looked at Leo and then back at the thing in front of him. He punched it hard. Then he watched as Leo rolled his eyes at him.
"Good grief. If this is all you Brits are capable of, the world is doomed. HIT THE MOTHER FUCKER!"
"What do you want from me?!" George said staring up at Leo and getting angry.
Leo looked at George, then he grabbed him by the collar of his robes. "Your brother is in distress. Your lover was near death. Tell me little boy. How do you handle the stress? Do you go off into the woods and cry your little heart out? How does it feel to know you can’t protect them all? What happens when the jokes do...
Leo dodged his punch easily and grabbed the arm that tried to strike him and put it behind George’s back.
He spoke in a low tone, between clinched teeth into George’s ear. "The next time you try to fight me, be sure that you’re capable. My wife’s mother was probably faster than you and she was a mortal." Leo released him.
"Now hit the damn bag."
And George did exactly that. He hit the bag with everything that he was worth. All of the hurt that they suffered at the hands of their mother. She forgot their names for fucks sake! She couldn’t tell which was which. All of the pain of watching his brother fall apart. His lovely and perfect Harry being destroyed by a ...
Leo unfolded his arms and walked over from his place on the wall towards the boy. He picked him up and held him as he cried. He rocked him back and forth while rubbing circles along his back.
"It’s ok little one. It will all be ok. You must stop putting so much upon your shoulders. Let your brother and friends share some of your pain. You are your brother’s keeper, but he is also yours. Harry will be fine in time. From what I have heard from Natasha, you are brilliant at potions, while Fred is amazing at ch...
George nodded his head and attempted to dry his eyes. "You know. A few weeks ago the thought of pouring my heart out in the lap of a centuries old vampire would have seemed like Lee’s version of a bad joke."
"Lee?" Leo chuckled
"Me and Freddies best friend. Tells horrible jokes, but then you laugh anyway because they are horrible."
Leo laughed. "Remind me to introduce you to my brother. You alright kiddo?"
George nodded. "Yeah. I’ll be okay. I think I should get some sleep. I’m bloody exhausted. I wouldn’t mind sleeping in that room you were in. I don’t want to wake the others.
"A little late for that Georgie boy me thinks."
"Yes I think that ship has sailed kiddo."
George whipped his head around from his position in Leo’s lap and saw Sirius and his brother standing in the doorway with looks of concern on their faces. Leo stood with George in his arms and deposited him on the floor. He watched as Fred made his way to them, and George lowered his head in shame.
Fred was having none of that. He used his fingers to lift George’s chin. "Why didn’t you tell me?"
