Remus snorted. "Harry and Sirius both would kill me." |
Dobby seemed to make a decision and nodded. "Dobby bring great honor to the House of Potter." And then he popped away. |
"Crazy elf." Arned muttered and shook his head. |
Natasha was staring out of the window with sadness in her heart. It had been four months since Harry and Sirius had woken from their healing coma, and Harry had taken to training like a machine the moment he was cleared to do so. |
The boy was relentless to the point that the determination in his eyes frightened her at times. She had never met a more intense child in her life. She tried to ask Cara about it, but she pointedly refused to divulge any specific information as it was private. She did say however that he was making great progress and l... |
The adults had all sat down to tweak the schedule. Leo decided that it would be a good idea to have Wednesdays off from all training. He wanted to give them more time to pursue their own interests outside of training. His exact words were "We must give them a chance to understand what they are fighting for." |
Sirius would usually use Sundays as an opportunity to teach Harry Wizarding etiquette and laws of the United Kingdom. Subjects from the alliances between the various houses, down to dancing and silverware. He had at one point taken to strapping a board onto Harry’s back to help him with his posture. When Harry asked wh... |
Two months ago, Leo introduced them to weapons. Blunted blades were first, followed by firearms. Sirius was the first to get slammed to the ground by the throat by Leo, because Sirius was acting like it was "a muggle toy’. |
"Let me explain something to your pathetic "Pureblood’ little heads." Leo seethed, while he loomed over Sirius’ body with his forearm at Sirius’ throat. "Nomaj’s have found numerous ways to kill people. Sarin gas, RPGs, Tanks that have armor that resist some projectiles, and not to mention spells. And let us not forget... |
"Fredrick, George, and Sirius. You three will go this instant to the magic null room and watch a video that I have acquired to show isolated British magicals such as yourselves about the power of non magicals and why the International Statute of Secrecy is paramount to the survival of those with magical blood! They cou... |
Two hours later saw the three men looking more than a little shocked. Never in their wildest dreams could they imagine that muggles had made that much advancement in weaponry. They were nowhere near the blood purists who believed that all muggles should be purged from the earth, but they had never thought that they wer... |
"I see your eyes have been opened." Natasha asked concerned as she watched them sit down to the dinner table. |
"Why were we never told any of this?" The twins asked. |
"My whole life I was told how the mug-" Sirius was cut off by an annoyed clearing of the throat. "The non magicals were so inferior, but this..." Sirius trailed off scratching his head. |
"Now you see why I was so angry Sirius. The gun was not loaded, as what moron gives a loaded weapon to a group of people who’ve never even seen one. But I need you to see them as the threat that they are. It is our understanding that Magical England is unaware of non magical weaponry. I had hoped to give you an edge, b... |
"No!" Three voices rang out. |
That was it. Harry lost it. He fell off of his chair laughing. |
"I don’t see what’s so funny Harry." George looked irritated. |
"Oh it’s hilarious!" Harry said between laughing. |
"Really you don’t?" Harry tried to get himself under control but was failing miserably. "Three Purebloods from well known houses. Thinking that nomaj’s had no way to defend themselves against magic." Harry was starting to get control of himself. "Honestly guys. I’m not laughing at you...well I am, but more so how our g... |
"Harry. No one is mad at you." It was Cara. "They were just confused. Isn’t that right boys?" Cara glared at the three of them. |
"Yeah Harry. No harm. No foot." Fred stated with a wink at Harry who giggled at the messing up of the saying." |
George frowned. "Brother dearest. I don’t believe that is how the saying goes." |
Now it was Fred’s turn to frown. "Are sure twin of mine? I know the first part for sure. I also know the second part has an F. I got it! Maybe it’s no harm. No fu..." George slapped a hand over his brother’s mouth. |
"Filter brother mine. Remember Lauren’s stinging hexes hurt quite badly." |
Fred looked up to see Lauren with her wand raised and his eyes grew wide. He removed his brother’s hand. "I didn’t say it!" |
"You were going to." Lauren growled. |
"Sorry. But could someone tell me the saying, without hexing my ba-...face off?" |
"No harm. No foul. It’s American I think." Leo answered. |
"Right. No harm. No foul Harrikins!" Fred stood up and moved to Harry’s position at the other side of the table. He planted a very solid and deep kiss to his mouth, to which Harry just moaned. That was until something very cold splashed over the two of them. |
"You will not defile my godson in front of me. Are we clear?" Sirius asked/demanded with his wand still at the ready. |
"Crystal." Fred replied. He was so embarrassed. Sirius had been drilling into him and George what would happen if they came out as a triad. Because Harry was at a higher station, they would be his Consorts in a binding marriage contract. It in no ways meant that they were submissive in all aspects, but it meant that th... |
"Forgive me My Lord Black. It would appear..." George growled at his brother. "That in his haste to reassure Harry that we were not angry with him, he had forgotten all semblance of decorum." |
"Yes. I wholly apologize. My actions were ill thought out Lord Black. I love Harry with all that makes me who I am, and I did not mean any disrespect." Fred bowed his head slightly. |
Sirius bowed his head slightly. "In the future Consort Weasley, please wait until the dessert is served." |
Sirius gave him a wink, but Fred knew he had fucked up. He never wanted to embarrass Harry. He loved him with all of his soul. Titles and all. If it meant that he had to do the pretty every now and again he would. So long as he could discreetly drop a dung bomb or two. |
"Frightening isn’t it?" |
Natasha was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn’t hear Sirius come in and stand next to her, and she had the advantage of vamp senses. |
"Why? He’s such a good kid and he doesn’t deserve to have to push himself this way." |
They both watched as Harry had just finished a run, and was now doing kicks and punches to the heavy bag that they kept outside. His spinning back kick was getting much better. He was able to keep his balance now, and able to land on the target. |
"I ask myself that everyday. I sometimes feel like grabbing him and leaving England to rot in their own mess. But Voldemort would burn the world to try to find him. Not only that, but it’s our home and our family is there." |
"This shouldn’t be his fight Sirius! What the hell is wrong with the damn adults in that country?" Natasha asked frustrated. |
They both watched as George came out and they both began to spar with and without magic. |
"For too long, we have been complacent. The only real fighters in my homeland are the aurors, and their numbers have slowly been depleted. You see it all starts at Hogwarts. The current Headmaster is a firm believer in second chances for everyone, and I do mean everyone. The Death Eaters are rapists, murderers, torture... |
Natasha raised a brow as she turned to him. "Are you shitting me?" |
"Now why is it you’re allowed to swear and the boys are not?" Sirius chuckled. |
"There is a time and a place for everything. Besides who’s going to stop me?" She challenged. |
Sirius just shook his head as he laughed. He turned back to the window to watch his godson, who was now doing some stretching exercises. "To answer your question. No I’m not shitting you. He preaches forgiveness to the extreme. I know for a fact that when I was at school, the mini Death Eaters got away with murder...li... |
"What does this have to do with Harry?" |
"I’m getting to that. Dumbledore is the leader of the light, Defeater of Grindelwald the Headmaster of Hogwarts, Supreme Mugwump, and Chief Warlock of the government. The people look to him to solve their problems instead of finding a solution of their own. If the government says it’s so then it’s so. No one questions ... |
The house vibrated a little. It was a testament to how they all were used to explosions in the house, that Natasha simply sighed, glanced at the wall where she kept a health monitor to check the vital signs and physical conditions of everyone in the house, saw that they were fine and gestured for Sirius to continue. Fr... |
"Anyway whether Harry believes in the prophecy or not, Dumbledore and Voldemort do. I believe that Harry’s whole Hogwarts experience has been a giant test or something, because I have never heard of the school having as many problems as Harry has faced since he had started." |
Sirius sighed as he unfolded his arms, moved away from the window over looking the large courtyard and sat down on the couch. "The wizards and witches of Britain see Harry as the boy who lived. The defeater of Voldemort. They will feel it is his duty, to save them all once again." |
"That’s outrageous! He’s not even fifteen years old." Natasha said angrily in her seat next to Sirius. |
"I know that and you know that, but the sheep that believes a one year old defeated the Dark Lord don’t see it that way. In the end, they will expect him to put himself in front of them and Voldemort. And if he refuses, they’ll just demand a law be made to make him do it. I believe Dumbledore expects him to as well." |
Sirius took a breath. "When I say that it all starts with Hogwarts, that’s what I mean. You are not allowed to question the status quo. You accept what you are told, and that is that. You can even have house points taken from you, or given detention for being disrespectful to a teacher for giving your own opinion. So i... |
"So the reason he pushes so hard in his studies and in his exercises is because he wants to be strong enough to fight him, because it’s expected of him." Natasha concluded sadly. "He has taken on a huge burden for one so young." |
"I want him to understand that this is not his burden to bare. Or at least not alone. The prophecy be damned. Make those lazy gits get off their collective arses and help themselves." |
"I agree. Let’s change topics before I break something. Do you know anything about how his mind healing sessions are going?" |
Sirius shook his head. "No. Cara won’t tell me anything except..." |
"He’s making progress." They said together and chuckled. |
"He should be having a session right now come to think of it." Sirius said as he glanced at the clock on the wall. |
The two where talking for a while longer, sipping on rose’s excellent hibiscus tea when they heard shouting downstairs. |
"Harry. Try to remain calm. You’re losing control of your magic." The windows were beginning to rattle. |
"Calm! Calm! You know what they did to me! I could never tell him that! He would...no. No. Not happening!" |
"Harry it’s eating you alive!" |
"Then I will fucking die, because he could never know..." |
"Harry. Son. What’s wrong?" Sirius and Natasha had come down the stairs, and they were looking at Harry in concern. |
Harry looked at Sirius for a few seconds with tears in his eyes, then bolted out the front door. |
Sirius went to go after him, but Lauren held him back. "No Sirius. He needs time to calm down. His emotions and magic are out of control right now, and he could accidentally hurt you, and he would never forgive himself." |
Sirius nodded. "What happened?" |
"That’s what we all would like to know." Sirius looked behind him and saw the rest of the occupants of the house looking at Cara and Sirius in concern. |
Cara shook her head. "No. I gave him my word. But trust me when I say he’s making..." |
Sirius threw his hands in the air. "Fuck making progress! I just stood here and listened to my godson say that he would rather die than tell me something! So you need to tell me what the bloody hell is going on!" |
Cara was not intimidated in the least. She lived among vampires after all, even if she wasn’t one. She walked around Sirius and went towards the front door. |
"Where are you going?" Leo called after her. |
Cara turned and smiled at her husband. "I’m here to do a job and I still have..." she glanced at her watch. "Seventeen minutes with Harry." She turned and walked out the door. |
Sirius threw his hands in the air in frustration. He then rounded on the twins. "Do you two know something?" He accused. |
George shook his head. "No idea Sirius. Really I don’t. After the whole fiasco with you discovering his abuse, we came to an agreement that if his life is in danger, or that he was hurt, that we would tell someone who could help." |
Fred nodded. "Whatever it is, he obviously doesn’t trust us with it either." Fred turned and headed up the stairs. |
"Freddie..." When Fred didn’t stop, George went to go after him. But Leo blocked his path. |
"Let him be alone for a bit, then go up for him. He needs to process his emotions on his own sometimes George. Remember. You are to not to bear the weight of your emotions and his all of the time. Give him an hour, then go up." |
It was killing him but he knew that Leo was right. They were not trying to separate the twins, but give them a separate identity and not just as "the twins’. "I think I’ll hit the bag for a bit." He turned and left the hallway. |
Sirius screamed. "Bugger!" And slammed his fist into the wall. He turned around and slid down the wall and sat down on the floor. As he had his head hung to his chest, he felt the presence of someone in front of him. |
Aditi kneeled down and healed Sirius’ hand. |
Sirius looked up at her. "Thanks." He muttered. |
"No thanks needed Sirius. You are concerned for the child that you love. Never be ashamed of that young man." She caressed his cheek and stood. She spoke to everyone still there in the entry way. |
"I have faith in Cara. She has worked with troubled children for more than sixty years. She has degrees in child psychology and psychotherapy. Let us let her do her job. Come. Let’s go into the dinning area for some lunch." She held her hand out to Sirius to help him up. "Come." |
Sirius looked at her hand and took it to allow her to pull him up. "I hope you’re right." |
"It will be fine Sirius. It may take time, but he is strong. His magic, mind and body are strong. He also has a great support system." She led Sirius to the dinning room. |

Cara found her young charge at the other end of the property...in a tree of all places. He was crying, with his arms around his knees and his head resting on top of them. |
"My precious one. I did not mean to upset you." Cara had somehow got into the tree without him noticing and had wrapped herself around him in case he was startled that she was suddenly there. |
Harry turned to her and sobbed into her chest. Cara may not be a vampire, but she was not fully human anymore either. She had enhanced hearing, sight, speed and strength. Nowhere near a vamp, but more than a normal human. She was able to keep them on the branch when he suddenly turned to her without a problem. |
Harry cried until there was nothing left, and then lifted his head to look at her. She pulled out her wand and dried herself off, then she conjured him a handkerchief. "Sorry about that." Harry muttered as he wiped his face. |
"Nonsense child. We all need to let go sometimes, but we still need to talk about why you don’t want to tell Sirius how you feel." She said softly. |
Harry nodded. "What if he sends me back?" Harry said in a low, broken voice. |
Cara stared hard at Harry, and took his head into both of her hands. "Now you listen to me little one. You don’t give your godfather enough credit. He may be a bit reckless, but he loves you fiercely. Tell him what you’ve told me. Let him in fully, so that he can be the parent that you need. He needs to know Harry." |
Harry laid his head against her chest once again and she embraced him. "I’ll tell him tonight. But I would like everyone there. Fred and George deserve to know, and the rest well...I don’t know. But for some reason it seems like a good idea. Everyone here has taught me so much. I feel like we’re a family. I’ve never ha... |
Cara nodded. "How about I get us down. I’ll go get everyone to the sitting room on the first floor, and you collect yourself." |
