Chapter 11

The next morning found Harry up at 5 am to watch the sunrise from atop his new Red Dragon racing broom. Things were starting to look up for the young wizard as he hovered over the Black Lake and sighed in contentment. Now if only he could get rid of that pain in the arse Voldemort, his life would be perfect. All he'd have to worry about was raising his children and fighting with Draco on which movie to watch on movie night. Harry smiled to himself and began testing his new broom by doing a few lazy loops. The Red Dragon handled better than any other broom he ever road. Harry's grin became wider as he suddenly shot vertically rising into the clouds as he prepared for his most dangerous test. After a few muttered charms as a safety precaution Harry leaned forward and began a screaming dive straight towards the middle of the Black Lake.

Little did the Boy-Wonder realize that he had an audience and that two of them were hovering on brooms near by while the rest waited on the ground eyes trained on the black haired wizard with wands out ready to cast should anything bad happen. Harry flew at brake-neck speeds towards the lake and at the last second cast the Bubble Head charm and dove straight into the icy waters. He raced past the startled Giant Squid who waved a tentacle in anger and past the surprised Mer-people before he once again shot to the surface as though he was a bullet fired from a Muggle gun. Harry whooped with laughter as he held onto the broom with his legs and spread his arms wide.

" That was some fancy stunt there Pup," came Sirius' voice from his left, " Not as fancy as we used to get though huh Prongs?"

" True true we were a little more recluses back in the day Padfoot but I think we can give Harry here a run for his money don't you?" James quipped from his son's right side.

" I do indeed Prongs. I do indeed."

" What say you Har? You think you can keep up with your old man?"

" You guys are on!" Harry shot off to the Quidditch Pitch where flying would be slightly more dangerous.

" You're gonna have to do better than that Pup." Sirius said as he flew past. Only he wasn't flying normally. He was lying on his side legs bent and head resting on his arm! James laughed at Harry's look of astonishment as he too passed only he was lying on his back and gazing at the morning sky as it whizzed past. Harry circled the pitch riding the normal way watching his dad and Godfather zoom around the spectators on the ground before taking a deep breath and standing up.

" LOOK EVERYONE HARRY'S SURFING!" Came Fred's amused voice. Every head turned to see Harry indeed hanging ten on his broom much as he had done in his first ever Quidditch game in First Year. The Marauders watched with pride as Harry rode an imaginary wave in the air before he began walking backwards on the broom.

" What's he doing?" Lucius asked.

" He's moon-walking!" Lily laughed and clapped her hands at he son's antics.

" What the hell is moon-walking?" Lucius demanded but no one paid him any attention they were all too busy watching Harry. For now Harry was shooting straight into the clouds again but still in "surf position". Higher and higher the young Gryffindor climbed till suddenly he stopped and fell head over broom tail speeding rapidly towards the ground. Everyone on the ground gasped in shock and just as they pulled out their wands to slow his decent Harry suddenly turned right side up and began surfing through the air again. He descended down and when he was a couple of feet off the ground did a sudden summersault from his broom and landed feet on the firm ground.

" Ta-da!" he said his arms thrown wide and grin firmly planted on his face. That is till Draco marched over and punched him in his face.

" HARRY JAMES POTTER DON'T YOU EVER SCARE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN!" Draco yelled as Harry landed on his bum. " Idiot Gryffindors. Scaring people with their stupidity." he mumbled and walked in the direction of the castle. Harry sat on the ground in shock gingerly rubbing his face. Lilly tsked and mumbled a healing charm.

" Thanks Mum." Harry grinned and got a smile in return.

" HARRY I DON'T WANT TO BE LATE FOR BREAKFAST SO MOVE YOUR RUDDY ARSE!" Draco called. Everyone grinned at Harry as he turned red.

" My arse isn't ruddy." he mumbled before running to catch up to his beloved.

" He is so whipped." James cried mournfully. Lily rolled her eyes.

" Uh-huh." Sirius sniffed. Remus shook his head and shot a look over at a certain potions master and couldn't help but grin to himself when he saw the man glance at a certain brunette only to look away again when said brunette looked his way. " Well that's interesting. I always though Severus liked Lily. Hmm..this gives me ideas." Remus vowed silently to watch the young potions master and his new crush more closely. After all he was still a Marauder, albeit the one who kept the others out of trouble but still, the teasing possibilities were endless.

" Hey Moony! Are you just gonna stand there all day?" Fred called breaking Remus away from his plotting.

" Coming!" he called and ran to catch up.

A few of the early risers had already sat down to breakfast and were quite shocked at the group that came into the Great Hall just then. Leading was Harry and Draco (not surprising) followed by Blaise, Hermione, Pansy, Ginny, Neville, and the twins, professor Lupin and Sirius Black(again not surprising), however behind them was professors Evens and Snape and OMG was Snape blushing?! Following that traumatic pair was Lucius Malfoy and his wife( wasn't she dead?) and two people who could only be Lily and James Potter (i swear they've been dead for years!) As the rest of the school returned throughout the day they were assaulted by these same images till dinner that evening when people hoped to get some answers because damn-it Snape should not be smiling and three of those people should be dead! Once sure everyone was present Dumbledore stood and raised his hands for silence.

" As some of you," (everyone), " have noticed we have been blessed to have James and Lily Potter and Narcissa Malfoy returned to us. Now some of you are confused maybe even considering your sanity but I can assure you you are just as sane as I am," (DEAR GOD WE'RE ALL FUCKED!), " Mr and Mrs. Potter and Mrs. Malfoy are all elves and therefore were able to return to us when the Elven Council allowed them to. Understandably Mr and Mrs. Potter would have loved to come straight back to our world as soon as they got to the Realm of the Elves but unfortunately they were unallowed so I hope that everyone understands and doesn't blame them for not raising their only child, which they most assuredly wanted to do. Thank you and tuck in." Everyone watched as the Potters all sat down at the Gryffindor table and the Malfoys joined the Slytherins and only when they all began eating did the rest of the Hall. Conversation picked up after a few minutes but stopped dead when Ron happened to glance in Harry's direction and see the candle light hit his ring.

" OH MY GOD! YOU'RE ENGAGED TO THAT FERRETY FAGGOT!" Ron screamed and everyones eyes went straight to Harry's left hand.

" Why yes Weasley I am engaged to Draco Malfoy and I'd thank you not to insult him in my presence." Harry replied coolly. Ron opened his mouth to say something but stopped at the number of wands pointed at him.

" I would sit down and shut up if I were you son." James advised his own wand facing Ron's face. Ron looked like he might be contemplating reaching for his own wand but James cut him off. " Marauder," he quietly pointed out, " I know twice as many hexes, curses and charms as you could even imagine." Ron wisely shut up and skulked off towards the end of the table where his new schoolmates sat. James watched him for another few minutes before he started eating again and conversation picked back up. After dinner Lily requested that Harry, Draco, Hermione, Blaise and the twins follow her down to the Chamber. Shrugging they all followed. Once they were all seated Lily began.

" Relax what I have to say isn't bad and you're not in trouble. I just want to know if the four of you have fed from Blaise and Hermione after you were bitten?" Four heads shook negative. " I was afraid of that. Well to explain you must feed off of them tonight, since you were bitten and not born vampires it would be damaging for you to go on not having fed at least once from your sire. You will now have all the powers of a vampire and fortunately since you were bitten by a Living Vampire you will not have the weaknesses of the undead vampires. You see it is the people who are bitten by an undead vampire and do not feed from that vampire turn into those that are common place amongst Muggle horror stories. They are unable to stand sunlight, which is true of undeads but unlike the undead they must feed off of humans and usually wind up killing their prey, while the undead do not need to feed off and kill humans many sadly do which repeats the cycle over again.

So back on track, it would be dangerous for the four of you not to feed, especially you Draco. With the children growing inside you they are absorbing all the powers which you and Harry share and that includes the Vampire gene and they need you to feed off of Hermione so they can be born healthy. They will also need to feed off of her shortly after they are born, most likely within the first month after they are born. I have one more question for you before the feedings take place however. Did you cum when Blaise and Hermione fed off you?" Six mouths opened in shock and they all stared at her. " Do not be embarrassed. When a vampire drinks from you it is a very sexual thing and almost common place that all parties involved would experience sexual ecstasy." Still no answers.

" Um Lily I think it might be that they are uncomfortable telling you because you are their friends mother or in Harry and Draco's case mother and future mother-in-law." James pointed out gently.

" Oh. Well there is nothing to be embarrassed about, I am a licensed Healer in both the Wizarding world and the Elven Realm as well as a licensed nurse in the Muggle world. There is nothing you can tell me that would shock me."

" Harry, Draco and I all came when I bit them." Hermione said drawing on her Gryffindor courage.

" Us too." Blaise piped in.

" That's fine. Now I should warn you since that happened you most likely will experience orgasm again when you drink from each other. You will never have to drink from each other again, taking a blood replenishing potion will be enough except for you Draco while you are pregnant. You will need to feed off of Harry once a month instead. The same goes for you two," she pointed to the twins," If either of you becomes pregnant as a result of a homosexual relationship you will need to feed off the father during the pregnancy. If for any reason that isn't an option then you will need to feed off of Blaise once a month for the duration. Hermione if you become pregnant then you will have to feed more frequently off of Blaise during the pregnancy as it will take both of your combined blood to produce a healthy offspring. I'm telling you this now to try and avoid any future mishaps that could result in any of you getting hurt as not a lot of Healers actually have this knowledge that I have gained while studding healing in the Elven Realm. Any questions?" a pause,

" No? Ok. James and I have a meeting with the Headmaster and staff in a few minutes and we should be gone about an hour which should give you plenty of time. I would actually suggest that Hermione and Blaise bite the four of you again before you drink from them as it will re-strengthen the bond you share with your sire. When they finish each of you should drink from the vain on their wrists. ONLY there! You should probably also only drink from one wrist as it is very draining. The two of you might need to take a blood replenishing potion in between since you will both have two people drinking from you. You will defiantly need one afterwards and about 30 minutes later you will need to feed off of each other to fully restore your powers as Mate's Blood will help to cure any dizziness or sickness you might feel afterwards. Oh yes! The bond you will share with your sire will be different than a Mating bond and you will only be able to feel each other when there is great danger to one or the other or if one were to die unexpectedly, however you would not die yourself as with Veela mate bonds. Now I think that's everything, remember if you have any questions feel free to come and see me or Narcissa as she has been taking courses in the Healing arts from me as I am the head Healer for the Elven Realm." With Lily stood, gave each teen a hug and left the Chamber with her husband. Six heads turned to one another and spoke at the same time.

" That was soo weird!"

" And embarrassing!" Hermione cried.

" I'm not sure I'll be able to look your mum in the eye for awhile after this mate." Fred voiced.

" Me neither!" Harry grouched. " Well I think we should get this over with before they get back." He stood and offered a hand to Draco. " And don't forget the damn silencing charms! And Draco don't think for one minute that this qualifies as cheating because it doesn't!" Harry added taking in his fiancé's morose look. Draco nodded and visibly brightened. He blamed it on the hormones of his pregnancy really. Each trio went into the two spear rooms where they sated their blood lust before moving into their own set of rooms in the Chamber and settling down for the night.

The next morning found a very randy(1) Harry and Draco waking early and each taking a turn topping the other after casting a rather powerful contraceptive charm on Harry seeing as how they both thought that two children on the way during the middle of a war was enough. They ate a quiet breakfast with the Marauders, Severus, and the two apparently female Marauders until Severus pouted so much that the five agreed he could become an official Marauder and replace Peter. Discussion went around as to what Severus' nickname would be as the Map would have to be changed and Wormtail's name blasted off.(2) Conversation stopped however when Draco's parents came out of the guest room and Harry, Draco, and Hermione blushed a rather violent shade of red.

" Oh gross! I hope the house-elves at least changed the sheets!" Lucius whined. " Potter call you elf and make him scour the room!" Harry snickered but called Dobby to clean the room and change the mattresses in both rooms. Narcissa just rolled her eyes and sat down to breakfast. It was a quiet affair after that and afterwards everyone gathered around the t.v and Harry popped in the season three dvd of Grey's Anatomy.(3) Lily and Narcissa paid close attention to the surgeries and discussed how they would have done it until James pointed out that it was just t.v and the actual chances of some these cases being real much less possible were slim to none that they sat and watched quietly. After hexing him for insinuating that McDreamy and McSteamy weren't actually great surgeons of course.

" Our mothers are bonding." Draco whispered to Harry as he curled into the brunette's side on the couch. Harry snorted.

" They're past bonding. They've moved on to inseparable sisterhood." Draco smiled and soon began to doze with his head under Harry's chin as his fiancé stroked his side gently. Harry smiled and thought that nothing could bother him on this day when he felt so happy. That is until Lily happened to catch sight of his right hand and the scars there.

" Harry," She said in a deadly calm voice that had everyone in the room looking at her, " what happened to your hand?"

" Um.. Umbridge made me use a blood quill in detentions back in fifth year and I didn't want to give her the satisfaction of me going to the Hospital wing so I let them heal without magic."

" She made you use a BLOOD QUILL?!" James demanded.

" Yeah she did it to several students and she almost used the cruciatus curse on me." Narcissa spoke up in her calm voice.

" I see. Harry could we see the memories of those times? I know they may not be pleasant and I'm sure that you do not wish to see my son act the way he used to but we will need to see them if she is to be brought to justice." Harry reluctantly nodded.

" We'll need Dumbledore's pensive."

" Actually son you can just step into the library. Pull down the copy of The Complete Works of Beethoven, it will open a hidden room where the memories in question can be viewed by all." Salazar said from the Founders portrait. Everyone followed Harry into the library and then into the viewing room. When they were finished the adults looked livid even Snape and Lucius. Snape never knowing the full extent of what happened and Lucius angered that it could have happened to his son.

" Right. I think it's time for a visit to the Ministry." Lily fumed and stormed out of the Chamber with Angela and Narcissa hot on her heels. James sighed.

" Best go with them. Who knows what they'll do otherwise." They caught up to the three angry women just as they reached the gate and apparated away. When they arrived at the Ministry Lily marched to Kingsley's office in the Auror department and demanded he come with them and then stormed her way to the Minister's office. She bypassed the Minister's secretary and burst into the Minister's office.

" MINISTER I DEMAND THE IMMEDIATE REMOVAL AND ARREST OF DELORES UMBRIDGE!"

" On what charges miss..?"

" Lily Potter, and on charges of using a blood quill on my son and several other students as well as the use of truth serum on minors and attempted use of the cruciatus curse on my son while she was a teacher at Hogwarts." Harry turned his head and noticed Rita Skeeter outside the office listening intently and furiously scribbling with her quill.

" I'm sure it doesn't really surprise the Minister Mum, he saw my scars last year when he came to the Weasly's the day after Christmas." Lily looked at her son sharply and they heard Rita gasp in surprise behind them. " But while you're at it you might want to bring charges against former Minister Fudge for hiring a woman with out credentials to teach as well as negligence as he didn't take any action when she sent dementors to try and get rid of me and Dudley summer before fifth year. Oh and for the fact that Sirius never got a trial and was just declared guilty after the incident with Pettigrew the day after Voldemort attacked Godric's Hollow. Aurors just arrested him on sight." After hearing all this James turned to Kingsley as the Head Auror had followed them.

" I want an arrest warrant sent out for Cornilus Fudge and Delores Umbridge." Kingsley nodded and issued orders to his men before conjuring up the warrants and having James sign them.

" Now just a minute here! I am the Minister, I'm the one who issues warrants! Just where do you get off?!"

" And I'm the King of Gryffindor and there for outrank you, you pompous ass. Now back off before I throw you out." The Minister knowing he was not going to win marched back over to his desk and went back to signing papers. He knew, just knew if he didn't do what James wanted he would be out of office faster than you could say quidditch. " Minister would you please call for an emergency meeting of the Wizengamot. I want these trials to happen quickly as I now have to call the Elders for the Elven council to come for this."

" Elders? Why?"

" Well Minister since Harry comes from such a prestigious line the Council is forced to get involved and they also will be conducting most of the trials I assume," Lily intoned still looking quite scary with her magic crackling in the air and causing her flaming hair to fly wildly. The Minister still looking frightened of her nodded and asked his secretary to contact the members right away. James sent his patronus to the Elders and received one in return stating that someone would be there soon. The Minister cleared his throat.

" Shall we head down to the courtroom?" he asked. Everyone left and Narcissa seratipiously cast a spell that would summon her families solicitor and made sure that they knew where to go. Harry sat with his mother and friends as his dad spoke to the Elders who had just arrived and were going over how to proceed. Lily leaned over Harry and spoke to Neville who had just arrived with his grandmother to testify.

" Neville dear where are your parents? I was shocked to see they weren't with the rest of the Aurors, have they retired from the Ministry?"

" No ma'am, my parents were tortured to insanity by Bellatrix Lestrange not long after, well your murder," Neville answered with his eyes downcast. " They're in the permanent spell damage ward in St. Mungo's."

" Do not avert your eyes when speaking of your parents Neville it diminishes their sacrifices." Augusta Longbottom scolded.

" First of all Augusta, no it doesn't. It just means that it hurts your grandson to know that he grew up parent-less when he did not have to and I'm not just talking about what happened with Bellatrix. The fact of the matter is that you should have had Frank and Alice killed when you realized they would never regain their minds! If you had done that then they would have come back as Elves and could have raised their son! You know Augusta that I'm right so why have you deprived your grandson of the love of his parents when you knew fully well that they could return to the living?!" Lily hissed in utter anger when Mrs. Longbottom replied.

" I thought there wouldn't be any difference."

" So instead of risking it you let my Godson believe there was never any hope for his parents and he would never get a chance to know there love! " Neville and Harry sat gob-smacked at all that Lily had reviled, " Get out Augusta, I don't want you anywhere near my Godson for the time being," Augusta huffed but left when Lily turned up he death glare. " Neville after the trials we'll go to St. Mungo's and I'll personally take a look at your parents conditions and if I can not reverse them then we will have to either take then to the Elven Realm for more advanced treatment or well we will use the other option, but rest assured you will meet your parents today."

" Thank you Mrs. Potter," Neville said as tears streamed down his face. Lily hugged him close to her.

" No need for all that Neville, you mum made me your godmother after you were born so you can either call me Aunt Lily or just Lily." Neville smiled at her. " Now if you boys will excuse me I must speak with Narcissa and Andromeda, after all Andy is going to be our solicitor," Lily winked at both boys and went to talk with the two remaining Black sisters.

" You wanna know something Harry?"

" What Neville?"

" Your Mum is pretty cool."

" Yeah, she is isn't she?" Harry smiled and leaned into Draco who had been conversing with his mother and aunt.

The trial lasted for hours as Andromeda had many charges against Umbridge and the former minister. Harry and the others watched in aw of the youngest Black sister. She was tall and willowy like Narcissa with dark hair like Bellatrix but when the light hit it you could tell it was dark brown and not black. If all three of the Black sisters were present they would have been undeniably beautiful but add Lily Potter and they were by far the prettiest witches of their age. Not to mention that the three present were such an incredible force that those on trial never stood a chance in Hell of getting off lightly, As it was both ended up with life sentences in Calanor Undume which was the Elven prison(4).

Afterwards Lily, Severus, Narcissa, Neville and Harry all went to St. Mungo's while everyone else went back to Hogwarts. Well after a quick lesson for the young vampires on how to use shadow apparation which is a much safer way for a pregnant person to travel than normal apparation. Upon arrival at the spell damage ward Lily quickly assessed the condition of the Longbottoms and was happy to report that with a lot of Elvish magic and a little luck she could reverse the damage done and Frank and Alice would be back to normal. Lily, Narcissa and Severus all cast the spells while Harry and Neville kept watch and kept the Healers out their way.

Finally after almost an hour of intensive spell casting Frank and Alice woke up. After quite bit of tears Frank and Alice were moved to a private room and were told that someone would be back in two days time to fetch them and in the mean time they were left in the care of Dobby and the hospital, Dobby was charged with bringing them plenty of food and he was also to act as an in room guard in addition to the Aurors stationed outside the rooms. Harry shadowed everyone back into the chamber where Severus was given the Map which now read Messers Moony, Shadow, Padfoot, and Prongs.

" What is your form Sev? You never did tell us," Harry inquired. Severus smirked and transformed in to a black tiger with white stripes. The young teens all had the same response to it.

" Wicked!"
