Harry nodded, but then stopped abruptly. "How did you get up here anyway?" |
"Being the life mate of a vamp has it’s perks." Cara smirked as they landed with all feet on the ground and not a wobble in sight. Leo’s lessons on fighting come in very handy for everyday things as well. |

Harry was standing in front of the people he had come to know as family. He looked to Cara and she nodded. |
"First I want to apologize for my outburst and my language. I know Lauren can be a stickler for that kind of thing." Everyone chuckled a bit. |
"Second I want to apologize to Fred and George. You mean the world to me and I’ve been keeping a certain intimacy distance from you lately. It’s not you at all. I’m pretty messed up in the head, but Cara has been getting me through it and I’m getting better." The twins nodded knowing that Harry was building up his cour... |
Harry turned to Sirius. "There is something I want to let you know about me Sirius." He took a deep breath. "I don’t want to fight Voldemort. If he comes after me fine, but I don’t want to seek him out. Being in this house has opened a whole world of ideas and possibilities. I want to enjoy my life. I want a family of ... |
Sirius was out of his seat in a flash, and held Harry’s face in his hands. "Hell no! Your dad and I were drunk on power and ideals. Don’t ever think that I want you to substitute for him. He was my brother in all the ways that count and you will be my son in the same way. There’s a world of difference between the two k... |
"You won’t send me back to the Dursley’s?" |
Sirius was honestly confused. "Why on earth would I send you back to those monsters?" |
Harry stayed silent as he looked at his shoes. |
"Sirius."Cara began. "What did it feel like when you were first sent to Azkaban?" |
"What does that ha..." |
"Just tell us Sirius." |
"Fine. Like I was abandoned. The Ministry that I had put my life on the line for just threw me away. I had lost my brother and his wife. Moony was nowhere to be found. Peter betrayed us all. I screamed my innocence, but no one cared. I still don’t see what this has to do with why Harry thinks that I would send him back... |
"Tell him Harry." Cara said in a soft voice. |
Harry lifted his head and looked into Sirius’ eyes. "You did it once. How do I know you won’t do it again?" |
It felt like a hot knife went straight to his soul. "Harry please understand. I never wanted you to go through that, but Dumbledore..." |
At the name Dumbledore, Harry lost his composure. Rage like he had never known took over him "Dumbledore. Dumbledore. FUCKING DUMBLEDORE!" Harry wandlessly and silently threw the coffee table across the room. He would later be thankful that Natasha and Cara had excellent reflexes. |
"I screamed for mummy and dada! I screamed for Pafoo and Mooey! But where were you? Going after Pettigrew, and trying to take out your revenge. In your anger and heartbreak you forgot what should have mattered most to you at the time. Me! You gave me over to Hagrid because Dumbledore said so. I needed you that night an... |
"I needed you! And you left me!" Harry took a swing at Sirius’ face, but luckily Sirius was quicker and grabbed his wrist and held it down. Harry was undeterred. He was determined to let his godfather feel what he felt as a child. Leo jumped up to stop Harry, but Cara held him back. "He needs this Leo." she whispered. |
"I hate you! I hate you!" Harry screamed as he pounded on Sirius’ chest. But then he started sobbing. Sirius held him tight to his chest. |
"I love you Pafoo. Please don’t leave me. I love you Siri. I’ll be good I swear it!" |
Sirius was at a loss, but he held Harry tightly as he sobbed out all of his fears into his chest. He now knew the extent of the damage that his impulsiveness had caused. He should have been there for godson, but in his grief he gave Harry to Hagrid because Dumbledore had said so. |
Everyone in the room was in different states of shock. George had his brother’s head in his lap, and was stroking his hair as he cried. Lauren’s face was one of complete shock. Aditi looked angrily at Sirius. Natasha was trying to hold onto her magic. Leo and Cara were stoic, but inside their souls were hurting for Har... |
Sirius held tight to Harry. He could feel the boy’s magic, but he knew that his godson loved him, and wouldn’t let his magic hurt him. He pushed Harry gently in front of him, and stared into his eyes. |
"Listen to me Prongslet and listen well." Sirius took out his wand, while he stood tall and took an oath. "I Sirius Orion Black, Lord of the House of Black do swear on my life and my magic, that Harry James Potter will never be in the care of the Dursley’s again. So be it on my blood and the name of Black. I give my ki... |
"Sirius. You didn’t have to..." |
Sirius took Harry into his arms and held him close to his chest, after he had healed his hand. "You mean more to me than anything. I will always put you first from now on...son." |
"I’m sorry please don’t hate me, I was just..." |
"Telling me what was bothering you the most about our new relationship?" Sirius murmured soothingly while he held his godson and rubbed circles on his back. |
Harry nodded. "Cara has been telling me for a while now that I should talk to you about my fear of you leaving me again, but I didn’t want to make you mad at me, and want to send me back." |
"Never pup." Sirius answered fiercely. |
After some time of nothing but silence, Leo cleared his throat. "So...spar?" |
Everyone laughed. "Leave it to the big bad vamp to get all awkward with his feelings." Cara joked. |
"Hey! I’m a male. I’m supposed to slay dinner, throw my woman over my shoulder and grunt." |
"Goodness Leo quit while you’re ahead old man." Lauren chuckled. |
"Yeah. I could use a spar." Harry said in between laughing his lungs silly. |
"I call dibs on the daggers!" George said as he ran out of the room. |
Everyone groaned. Aditi turned to Lauren. "I blame you. That boy is insane with a blade!" |
Lauren shrugged. "What can I say?." She flung a knife from her right calf into the wall behind Fred in the blink of an eye. "I’m good." she shrugged. |
It was the day before the occupants of the house were scheduled to depart. The plan was to spend a few days in New Hope, and they would each go their separate ways. He was going to miss everyone that had helped him on this journey of discovery, but he knew he couldn’t hide from the world forever. |
Harry sat at the edge of the forest just thinking about all that he had learned. He was proficient with a blade. He was quite adept at throwing knives if he did say so himself. He was no where near George or Sirius’ level, but he felt he could do some mortal damage. Leo told him to work on his speed, as his accuracy wa... |
"Have him take it at the ICW headquarters." |
Sirius looked at her confused. "Why?" |
"Because I believe that they can all pass the International Standardized Exams. Of which your country by charter cannot object to the scores. You have expressed that the Headmaster of your school, while not a bad man, tries to control young Harry and manipulate the future to his ideals...yes?" |
Sirius nodded. "Yes." |
She turned to Harry and the twins."This would be an excellent way of breaking some of that control. Your teachers in the subjects of potions and DADA have been abysmal from what I have gathered. And I WILL be discussing Severus’ behavior at the next Potions Educators Conference, of which I am the current chair. Leo. Yo... |
Leo scoffed. "Of course woman. What do you take me for?" |
Aditi rolled her eyes. "My apologies oh your great warriorship. I want them to take the ISE’s for those two subjects." |
Aditi turned to Fred and George. "I support two hundred percent your idea of a joke shop. But you are too bright to waste your brains on only one idea. You could not only have the shop of your dreams, but also have side projects." She held up her hand to stop them from objecting. |
"I want you to redo your mid level exams. I believe they are called OWLs in your country?" She looked to Sirius. |
"I only suggest this because you should think of the doors it would open for your business, if people could see that you were not only pranksters, but book smart as well. Think about it. Publishing your scores on business cards so that people would be more willing to do business with you. Suppliers, investors, vendors ... |
Sirius hid a smirk. Aditi would have made an excellent Slytherin. The boys would take there exams seriously, and make money. Win win in his book. |
Fred nudged his brother. "Tell them about your other dream Georgie." |
George looked nervous. "I’ve always been good at potions. I was hoping to do at cost potions for the poor and the creature blooded if the shop did well." He shrugged. |
"I will invest six thousand galleons from the Black family vaults." Sirius said proudly. |
"I will invest another six thousand from the Potter family vaults." |
"I will give you five thousand galleons from my personal vaults." Aditi chimed in. |
"Now wait a minute you guys..." George started. |
"You don’t have to..." Fred trailed off. |
"The family DeCortez invests seven thousand galleons UK to the cause." Leo held up his hand when Fred went to interrupt. "You are both honorable young men. As I understand it, human magicals look down upon the creature blooded, in your homeland. Not only that, it would seem that with a certain Dark Lord back in busines... |
"We don’t know what to say." They both whispered. |
Sirius cleared his throat. "The customary reply when gifts or promises of investments are given is...thank you." |
So that’s what they did. In typical Weasley twin fashion of course. There were many exaggerated bows and prolonged gratitudes, and of course a quick snog for Harry. |
It was decided in the end that only Harry and George would be trained in firearms. Sirius and Fred didn’t have the temperaments to deal with a dangerous weapon that they didn’t understand. |
His charms work had come at leaps and bounds. They all learned spells in Brazilian Portuguese, that Natasha had drilled into their heads the proper pronunciation. |
Thanks to Aditi, he could make at least nine poisons that kill on impact if thrown in a vial. The ingredients were native to South America and India, but that’s what stasis charms were for. |
Even Sirius’ gods awful etiquette and politics lessons were in the end very helpful. |
His Occulumency with Leo had helped to control his emotions, and Fred was doing much better as well. |
By far he loved Runes and Arithmancy. Creating wards for and against so many things. Lauren always stressed to never create one layer of wards. Make it so that if they break the first, they have to get through another. She said to think of a rainbow. Your first ward is the first color. Ok so they broke that down and tr... |
Harry loved it here. He would hide away and learn as much as he could for years. But he couldn’t do that. Fred and George deserved to explore the world just as much as he did, not to mention they both had family and or friends that would worry. |
Harry had asked to be alone. He watched as the magic from his sanctuary of the last nine months, fade away into nothing. He would never forget this place for as long as he lived. He was healed here. He knew love here. He had learned here. He was safe here. But now it was time to face the real world once more. |
He had learned etiquette. |
No Prongslet. If the woman is a widow, the proper term is Dowager. That is of course if you are given leave to call her anything else. Again. Greetings... |
He had learned how to dance. |
Good good! And make that turn again...yes! He could turn on a sickle now. Carla and Leo were relentless. |
He had learned how to protect. |
The Rune for fire protection is... He watched as he and the twins learned the latest Rune from Lauren |
He finally new the love of a parent. |
I will never leave you again, son. Not willingly. You mean the world and more to me. Give me a chance. Sirius pleaded. |
He had learned passion |
"Hurry up! Sirius and George will be back soon, and I want you for myself for a bit. You’re taking way to long." Fred waited as Harry took his shirt off. Fred attacked his nipples. His Harry wasn’t ready to go all the way, but he needed to feel some part of his mate against his skin. |
He had learned to defend himself |
George and Aditi both came at him. Harry had jumped to kick George in the chest, then quickly doing a leg sweep to Aditi. He leaned to the right just in time to miss the cutting curse from Sirius, while at the same time throwing a knife at the man’s wand arm. |
He had learned many things |
And now it was time to leave. |
The thing that Harry had always had a penchant for was instinct. Living with the Dursleys, had trained him on potential violence that may be coming his way. He could somehow feel that a curse was coming towards him. He dropped and rolled out of the way. He jumped up just in time to throw a blasting hex in the direction... |
Harry looked to his two lovers, but only one was there. "Fred! Report!" |
"George has gone to scout. We’re on our own." |
"Where the hell are the adults?" |
"No idea. Get down!" Fred had snatched Harry’s arm down to the ground. |
A purple beam shot passed where Harry’s head had been a moment ago. Fred shot a piercing hex at the attacker, and did a quick flip over another spell. He downed that attacker as well. |
"Fred!" Harry yelled. |
"I’m ok Raven." Fred had rolled out of the flip like Leo had taught him. |
"They have Sirius." George appeared next to his brother. |
Harry’s voice was deadly cold. "Who?" |
"I don’t know. But they say that they were payed well to bring you back to Britain Harry." |
"Show me." Harry bit out through clenched teeth. |
At hearing a curse coming towards them, Harry dodged and threw out a spell chain with such viciousness that George almost felt bad for the victim...almost. |
