"You will be." Harry growled. And George took a step back.
"Well gentlemen. Let’s get the show on the road. These ladies here need to get back home, before we lock this place down. Harry. Up on the bed if you please." Sirius instructed.
After he dried Harry off, he pulled him into a hug and whispered into his ear. "As long as you are happy and safe I will never be ashamed of you. Just make sure it’s something that you want to do. If you have any questions just ask me. I won’t judge you kiddo." Sirius kissed his forehead, and gestured towards the bed.
Harry nodded and walked towards the two beds meant for the both of them. Sirius stopped the twins before they could follow. He stared them both down. "Hurt him, and I will cut off your balls and feed them to you through a straw, as all of your teeth will be missing. Are we clear?"
"Crystal." They both replied more than a little afraid.
"So Harry. I would like to put you to sleep for this. It is not painful exactly, it’s more uncomfortable than anything. We are going to break the bond, and immediately put you into a healing coma." Lauren explained.
"I get it." Harry nodded.
Harry laid down on the bed, and watched as Natasha and Lauren smiled down at him. He looked over to his two lovers and smiled at them. "Be good you two."
"I’m wounded Forge."Yeah Gred. Our Harrykins..."Accusing us..." "Of causing trouble..."On purpose!" They ended together.
Harry gave them a smile that they returned, but he could tell that they were concerned.
"Alright Harry. Drink this." Aditi said.
Harry trusted her so he did what was asked without question. He drank it down quickly. Knowing how awful potions tasted. He was pleasantly surprised that it reminded him of strawberries. "Wow. This doesn’t taste like sock sweat."
Aditi Raised an eyebrow. "Have you had much experience with the taste of sock sweat?"
Harry replied easily. "Well no, but I’ve taken a lot potions, and they taste terrible!"
"Meh. You Brits are slow to learn." Aditi shrugged.
"Hey! I...am...not...slooow." And Harry was out like a nox.
"Let us begin. I have broken a binding on magic many times, but Harry seems to have an affinity for the unimaginable. Lauren all that I need you to do is to be a backup as well as monitor my progress." Lauren inclined her head in recognition at Natasha’s orders.
Everyone else just stood back and waited. Natasha began to wave her wand over every part of Harry’s body. Taking care to make sure that all of the threads that led back to the core, were in stable condition once she began to follow the bindings that were limiting his power. She scrunched her head up in confusion.
"Hmm..." Natasha mused to herself.
Sirius looked at her worriedly. "Hmm?"
"Lauren?" Natasha looked at her friend.
"Yes I see it." The woman replied.
"See what?" Sirius asked irritably.
"Victoria." Lauren called. "Please put what we are seeing on the wall behind Harry."
"Of course." Victoria pointed her wand at where Harry’s magical core should be, and made a circular wand movement. She then appeared to "throw’ it against the blank wall that the headboard rested on. Natasha stepped away from Harry as Lauren held the spell.
"This blue line here." Natasha pointed out with her wand as she traced around it. "Is the original bind that was placed on him as a small child. The one that his mother confirmed was placed for protection. It was supposed to be broken when he was 7 years old. It is pulsing with his family magic."
"It looks faded...if that is the right word." George said.
"You are correct. If I were to guess, the magic was not meant to last as long as it did. It began to try and break on it’s own. I would say sometime when he was eleven. Maybe twelve." Natasha confirmed.
"And that red color?" Fred asked.
Natasha and Lauren looked at each other.
"What?" Sirius said in a low growl.
"Someone reinforced the fading binding." Lauren said simply.
"I’ll kill him." Sirius growled.
"Sirius..." Haley began.
"HE HAS FUCKED WITH MY GODSON FOR THE LAST FUCKING TIME!" Sirius stalked over to the window and took a few deep calming breaths. He needed to stop going off half cocked all of the time. Harry needed him to remain calm, but it was so hard.
Because it was his fault. All of this. The abuse that Harry suffered. The renewed binding of his godson’s magic. Peter’s escape. The Potter’s deaths. All of it. He wasn’t strong enough or fast enough when he had cornered Peter. He shouldn’t have gone after him in the first place. He felt the air around him began to suf...
"Grab him!" He heard someone call out.
"I’ve got him. Come on Sirius breathe. That’s it. In and out. In and out. Harry is safe. He is surrounded by love and comfort. His parent’s forgive you for your recklessness. And now it’s time for you to forgive yourself. You cannot help him, if you are always doubting yourself." The voice said.
Sirius was starting to gain control of his senses as he focused on his breathing. For Harry. He could fully break down another time in private, when Harry wasn’t so vulnerable. He wiped at his eyes and looked up at a familiar face. "Leo?"
Leo smiled. "What is it with wizards finding themselves in my arms lately. You know I am more inclined towards women."
A voice cleared harshly.
"One woman. Only one woman in particular." Leo said quickly.
"What happened?" Sirius asked blearily.
"Panic attack." Lauren stated.
"Ah. Well if the big bad vampire warrior would be so inclined as to let me go, I think I can manage." Sirius pushed at Leo’s shoulders.
"Oh ha ha. Next time I will let you hit your head little one." Leo stood with Sirius, and deposited him on the floor.
Sirius drew Leo into a manly hug and whispered. "Thank you my friend."
"Anytime brother." Leo whispered as he returned the thanks.
"If you would like to hear my opinion, which given the fact that I am the Healer of this little gathering, you should listen up." Natasha said with one brow raised.
Sirius bowed his head in her direction. "Of course milady."
"I have two opinions on the extra binding. Either this Dumbledore is a wannabe saint, or a wannabe demon." Natasha stated while looking at the image of Harry’s magical core.
"What do you mean?" Fred asked.
"Well, he either saw that the evil presence could possibly bring Harry trouble as he grew older, and decided to try to block the entity from fully possessing him. If that is the case, he should be commended. Or the other reason to bind his magic would be..." Natasha trailed off, and looked at Haley.
"What?" Fred asked impatiently.
"Control." Haley ground out, and stalked to the window overlooking the grounds. She stared across the expansive grounds and murmured a whole host of curses under her breath in at least three languages. She turned to the rest of the magicals in the room and sighed angrily.
"When people of power are faced with someone who equals their power, or surpasses it, they tend to fear it."
"Many try to control the magical gift of those who have been blessed, and bend them to their own wishes. If they are young enough the child’s magic is bound. The binder will try to break them and force them through psychological means to do their bidding. A hint here a suggestion there. However if they are too old to t...
Natasha cleared her throat. Her heart went out to her friend, but now was not the time to bring up that particular pain with her.
"His exact reasons will not be known unless we ask. I have a feeling he wouldn’t tell us either way. For the here and now it doesn’t matter." She turned to Sirius. "Shall I proceed?"
"Do it." Sirius nodded.
Natasha began the complicated process of breaking a bind on a magical core. It was going as a normal one would, until she and Lauren both muttered "Oh fuck.’
"What? What is it?" George asked.
"Lauren?" Natasha looked at her friend.
"Just do it Natasha."
"What’s happening?" Sirius asked.
"We are at the last of the chains that is binding his magic. He’s...powerful." Natasha whispered. "Even with his core blocked as it is now, he is very powerful for his age. The actual..." Natasha was cut off.
"Natasha just do it!" Lauren didn’t normally speak to her like that, but she could tell that her friend was getting caught up in magical theory once again.
"Right right. You’re right...sorry." Natasha said sheepishly. Natasha was about to break the last link in the binding charm, when her eyebrows nearly met her hairline.
"Everybody get down to the ground and shield yourselves... now!" The coven complied instantly.
"I’m not leaving him!" Sirius roared and made an attempt to shield Harry.
"Neither are we!" The twins said in unison.
"You fools! Think of Harry!" Raw magic was swirling in the air now; aching to be freed. "He will never forgive himself if you three were hurt. I ask you again Sirius. Do you trust Caleb?" Natasha asked impatiently.
"With my life." Sirius responded without hesitation. The magic was getting thicker in the air. So much so that it was getting harder to breathe.
"Then trust me Sirius! Get. The. Fuck. Down. Now!"
Sirius, Fred and George reluctantly obeyed. She made sure everyone in the room had complied, before the last link was broken. She threw a powerful protective shield over Harry, and quick as a flash, she dropped to the ground, shielded herself, and covered her head.
She knew. She knew power when she saw it, and for power to finally be allowed to be free, after so much bondage was a very scary thought. She knew she had to get everyone to safety.
And it was very good thinking on her part too. After she had broken the last link, not only did the walls in the room attempt to buckle, but all of the windows in the room that they were in had shattered violently.
Silence in it’s purest form could be considered a blessing in some circles of society. However in this situation, it reminded George that Harry most likely had been hurt. After he removed his shield spell, he crawled through the broken glass on his forearms to get to his boyfriend who was lying on the bed. "Harry?" Geo...
"Leave him be for the time being. Let’s get this place cleaned up before we remove the shield from his body." Leo moaned out as he stood. He was shaking his head, as if to clear it from a fog, but in truth his head was fucking killing him.
Sirius’ head had never felt so awful. Not even the time he and James snuck in that case of firewhiskey in sixth year. He kept trying to smack his right ear, but all that he heard was a low hum mixed with ringing in his ear. He staggered to his feet and saw the damage before him.
Somehow, the wall to the left of him was mostly gone. There was a very large hole in it. Actually wait, the whole damn wall was missing, now that he could see properly. He could see Rose; at least he thought it was the elf of the house, moving rapidly to secure the room from collapse.
"Haley, Clara, Victoria." Lauren groaned as she stood; swaying slightly. "I want you to go through every bit of this house. Check the structural integrity throughout the entire place."
Haley made her way over to Victoria to help her stand. "We’re on it boss." Haley groaned as all three ladies made their way out of the room.
"Alright there Georgie?" Fred asked as he made his way to his brother’s side slowly.
"Right as rain brother." Fred knew his brother was lying through his teeth, but was happy that George was talking.
"Fucking hell! What the bloody hell happened Natasha?" Sirius asked.
Natasha, who was busy helping Rose stabilize the room, looked over her shoulder at him. "Sirius I could use your help right now. We don’t want the ceiling to collapse on us. Questions later my dear." Even with the seriousness of the situation, Natasha sent a wink his way to try to lighten the mood.
Sirius huffed. "Oh alright bossy pants." Before he went to help her though, he took another look at Harry. He looked so peaceful, taking breath after breath. The twins were with him right now, and he knew that his pup would be OK. Sirius set to his task.
Fred and George were both looking at Harry sleeping contently, and without stress.
"Natasha it’s clear down here. We’re stable throughout the house. Well, except from the main source of the event that you’re in right now." Came Victoria’s voice from downstairs thirty minutes later.
"Ok. Come back upstairs and let me give you guys a quick check up." Natasha called back.
The room had been set to rights, and Sirius was laying next to Harry just watching him breathe.
"Sirius. It’s time for you both to be put to sleep so that you can heal. I’ll put Harry down first." Natasha said. Natasha waved her wand in a complicated pattern while chanting. A dome appeared over Harry’s bed and began to fill with a mist.
"Don’t worry boys. He’s fine. This is perfectly normal. Mother magic is healing him." She turned to Sirius. "Now you Sirius. Hop up on the bed."
Before he allowed himself to be put to sleep, he turned to Fred and George. "Behave yourselves boys. Listen to the adults, and learn all that you can. I have faith in the both of you."
"Just get well Padfoot. We’ll be here when you get finished." George said and Fred nodded in agreement.
Sirius nodded to Natasha and leaned back on the bed. Natasha did the same familiar chanting and waving of her wand. The same dome came over Sirius and the familiar mist began to fill the area.
Natasha turned to the rest of the room. "It’s around 8:00 pm. We are behind schedule, but I would like to offer the ladies the option to spend the night and let you take off in the morning."
"Thank you. We will take you up on that. Ladies let’s get some rest. The lock down should start before first light." Lauren said.
The Coven made their way to the room that held the magical tent. Lauren waited for the other ladies to go in, but she motioned for Haley to stay behind.
