Chapter Two.

Stepping outside, Harry watched as the curses hit the wards for a few minutes, before calling back over his shoulder, and telling Dumbledore to let the Ministry and the Order know that they would be needed as soon as his Aunt and Uncle where out of the house.

"Hello Tom. So nice of you to drop by." he called out.

"Harry Potter. Have you finally decided to come out to play?" Voldemort hissed.

"Nope, not really. I just wanted to let you know that I've sent for help. Thankfully your Mark in the sky will tell everyone where to come." Harry told him.

"I will kill you and everyone with you today. You can't hide from me anymore."

"Of course I can Tom. The house is almost emtpy at the moment. I'm just waiting for my Aunt and Uncle to finish packing up the rest of their stuff, and then I'll send them to safety."

"And how do you plan to do that. You're all alone in the house with those Muggles."

"Why Tom, didn't you know about the spy in your ranks?" Harry watched as Voldemort's eyes narrowed.

"Severus Snape." he hissed, outraged. "I knew he was a traitor."

Snape walked out of the house, and stood beside Harry. "Then you should have killed me before now." He said to his former Master. Turning slighly, and speaking softly, he told Harry that Dumbledore had just sent his relatives off to Headquarters.

Nodding his head in response, Harry started searching for Malfoy. Using the man's title he called out. "Lord Malfoy!"

Voldemort and his Death Eaters drew back in surprise as Lucius pulled off his mask. "Lord Black-Potter." he greeted Harry.

"If you are serious in what you want to do, I suggest you leave now." Harry watched as Lucius nodded his head, and with a crack disappeared. Turning to Voldemort, he raised his wand, and switched to parseltongure.

{You seem to be losing your followers to me Tom.}

{I will kill thim you know. You can't hide them from me.}

{You will try to kill them you mean. You've been trying to kill me for years and haven't managed it yet, what makes you think you will be able to get to those under my protection?}

Harry dropped the wards protecting the house from Voldemort, just as cracks of apparation sounded around the street as the rest of the Order moved in to help. Knowing that the only one who would be able to keep Voldemort occupied was himself, since Dumbledore was busy in the house, he started firing off curses to keep him busy.

Harry didn't notice when the Auror's arrived but Voldemort did. With a hissed order to retreat, he and his remaining Death Eaters disapparated away.

Harry looked up at the wizards around him, both from the Order and the Ministry, dropped his hands to his knees as he gave Dumbledore, who had joined the fight also, a small grin. “Well that was fun. Did we give them enough time to get away?”

“Indeed you did Harry. And I think we should also be on our way, as soon as the Auror's take care of the clean up.”

Harry only nodded his head and tried to stand back up, but he was to tired. After everything else that happened today, he's body just wanted to collapse. He was entirely grateful for Snape's arm once more around him, as he pulled Harry back up and against him. “Relax Harry, I'll support you until we get back to Headquarters. You do realize that you have another fight on your hands once you get there.”

“Yes Sir. Thank you.” Harry just closed his eyes and waited until Dumbledore finished answering the questions from the Ministry Officials. When he was done, he held out another portkey that would take all of those going, straight to Headquarters.

Harry landed, still supported by Snape to the sight of those from the Order pointing their wands at the Malfoys, and his relatives cowering in the corner. Along with the cries of two infants.

Harry pushed himself away from Snape and walked unsteadly between the Malfoys and the Order members. “What in Merlin's name do you think you are doing. Didn't you read the letter I sent with them.” He asked, to tired to pull up true anger.

Remus looked Harry up and down. “How where we to know that it was real? Especially as Malfoy showed up in Death Eater garb. Just what is going on, and who do the children belong to?”

Harry gave a tired sigh, summoned a chair to him so he could remain in place protecting the Malfoys. “Winky, can you bring me a cup of tea please. When your done, move my things to the Master Room, and try to settle the twins down for the night. I'll be up shortly.”

Winky nodded her head, and handed him a cup of tea, and returning to the twins, she once more grabbed hold of the carriers and vanished. Harry took a sip of tea before calling Dobby and Kreacher. “Dobby, there was a bag of things for the twins at my Aunt and Uncles, I'm not sure if it was brought here. Please find it and bring it to Winky and then help prepare rooms for everyone who is staying. Kreacher, help them. No back talk, no funny stuff, just get rooms ready.” he waited as both of them nodded and disappeared.

Glancing around the rest of the room, he saw the looks of astonishment all over. “Professor Snape, I think my relatives are going to need some Dreamless Sleep to get through this, for that matter, I believe I will need some as well. If you would be so kind?” Snape just nodded his head and motioned for the Muggles to follow him. When they left, Harry looked at Remus.

“I'm going to make this short and sweet at the moment, as I'm dead tired. I've strengthened the wards on Privet Drive, using Blood Magic, and right after that, I used Blood Magic to offer my protection to the Malfoys. I've fought against Voldemort once more in order to give the Malfoys the time they needed to get out. As to the twins, I've just found out they're mine. I'm sure you have more questions, but I'm going to bed. Just keep in mind that if any of you attack the Malfoys, you are in fact attacking me. Therefore don't do it.”

Draining his cup of tea, Harry looked at everyone in the kitchen. “I'm not giving you any more of an answer. If you want more, ask the Headmaster and Professor Snape. They were there. Good night.” and Harry left the room, not caring about anything else at the moment, but his bed.

~~hpss~~

Harry was awakened the next morning, once again by the shrill screams of his Aunt. But this time her screams were accompined by the sounds of one Molly Weasley in a full blown rage, two crying infants, one shrieking portrait, and the general uproar from the rest of the resident Order Members.

Quickly getting dressed, Harry made his way down the stairs and walked into a scene that belonged in a very bad movie. Aunt Petunia and Mrs. Weasley were facing off against each other, Remus was glaring down at Uncle Vernon, the Weasley Twins had Dudley cornered, the Order Members glared at the Malfoys, while the Malfoys ignored everything else as they tried to calm the babies down. Snape and Dumbledore were trying their best to close the curtains on the shrieking portrait of Mrs. Black.

Harry rubbed his temples in a vain effert to stop the building headache. Taking a deep breath he did the only thing he could think of.

"ENOUGH!” He bellowed.

This had the added bonus of startling the twins into silence and shutting up the screaming Mrs. Black as well as the rest of the people in the room. Unfortunalty it also gave Uncle Vernon a chance to be heard, when he swung around to face Harry.

"It's about time you dragged your lazy arse out of bed Freak. We want our breakfast, so get to it.”

Raising his hand to still the cries of outrage, Harry glanced through the kitchen door, and spotted the table loaded down with food.

"I'm sorry Uncle Vernon, but it looks like Mom Weasley has already made breakfast. I assure you that she is a much better cook then I am.”

Harry saw it coming but was unable to move out of the way fast enough. Vernon's fist connected with his jaw, and Harry was thrown to the floor. The howl of rage had Harry, quickly shaking the black spots away from his eyes, as he scrambling back to his feet and launched himself at a furious Werewolf.

"Moony, no. he's not worth letting the wolf out. You're better then he is.”

Harry made sure he was in direct contact with his surrogate Godfather, while standing between him and Vernon. He watched as the gold glint cleared and Remus's eyes turned back to normal.

"If he touches you again Cub...” he threatened.

"He won't. The others won't let him. Why don't you take the newest members of the Pack somewhere quiet and get them calmed down. Take Ron, Hermione and Ginny with you.”

Nodding his head, Remus took a deep shuddering breath and accept the twins from Mrs. Malfoy. “We will be in the library, if you need me.”

When he disapperead up the stairs, Harry looked at his friends and stopped all arguments before they could start. “I need you to watch over him, while he calms the wolf down.”

His three friends nodded their heads in understanding and Ron and Ginny took off up the stairs. Hermione paused long enough to hand Harry a cloth to wipe up the blood from his split lip and a cold compress to help reduce the swelling, before following them.

Turning back to his Uncle who had stumbled back in fear, Harry gave him a cold look. “It's not very smart to attack a member of a Werewolf's Pack, especially the night before a full moon. It's extremely stupid to do so in a house full of Witches and Wizards that would rather stand back and watch it happen, then help you. It's best that you remember that.” Harry had the distinct satisfaction in watching the faces of the Dursleys pale in shock. “You best do yourselves a favour while you are here. Remind yourselves that I am no longer under your roof, but that you are under mine. This house and everything in it belong to me. Now sit down and shut up while I deal with the rest of the mess going around me this morning.”

His Uncle though, refused to listen to this piece of advice and since as far as he was concerned the most dangerous 'thing' had left, he decided push his luck. “How dare you talk to me like that Freak. We are your family, not that 'woman'. Now do as you are told and get my breakfast.”

Harry listened to his Uncle rant for another few minutes before he held out his hand to Snape, “Sir, may I have the use of your wand, I left mine upstairs.” he said watching Vernon's reaction, as the requested wand was handed over.

“You are not allowed to do magic outside of school.” Vernon shouted.

“You must not have been paying attention yesterday when I asked for permission to use magic. The Headmaster never said that it was just for that day. I have permission to use magic until the Headmaster tells me otherwise, or on my birthday when it no longer matters. Besides wandless magic, which I can do some of, and using someone elses wand, which I am, is not recorded.” Harry told him, ignoring the gasps of shock from everyone else. “Is there anything else you would like to say Uncle?”

When Vernon opened his mouth to start yelling again, Harry gave the wand a flick, “Silenco.” he said and watched as no sound came from his Uncles mouth. “Good, I didn't think so. Now to answer you about 'family'. The Weasleys are more family to me then you ever were, or ever will be. And I refuse to be your servant in my own home.” He said firmly before handing the wand back to Snape. “Maybe when he's feeling in one of his more charitable moods, Professor Snape will release the spell, but I wouldn't hold your breath. Until that does happen, I know I at least will enjoy the silence.”

Harry then turned his back completely on his Uncle and focused his attention on the now silent figure of Mrs. Black, who was about to open her mouth to start another tirade of insults, which Harry really didn't want to hear. Going back over his lessons on Pure Blood Law, he figured it was worth a try to treat her like a Lady.

"Lady Black.” he said with a short bow, effectively cutting her off.

She blinked at him in surprise before her own manners kicked in. “Mr. Potter.” She returned with a slight nod of her head, proving that she did know who entered into the Noble and Ancient House of Black. “You handled those Muggles well.” she added politely.

" Thank you Lady. Have you had a chance to talk with your neice as of yet?”

" Which one?”

" Lady Narcissa Black-Malfoy.”

"I have not as yet had that honor. What news can you tell me of my son and other neice, I have not seen Sirius around for awhile.”

Harry closed his eyes against the pain that question still brought up within in him. "Bellatrix Lestrange has been declared Kin-Killer for her part in the death of your son.” Opening his eyes, and letting her see the pain that he could not hide.

Everyone held their breaths as the waited to see how Mrs. Black reacted to this news

"Mr. Potter, who does the title Lord Black fall to now?” She said in a shaky voice, her eyes mirroring his pain.

"As the former Lord Black's Godson, I now hold the title Lord Black and stand as Head of the Black Family.” Harry had managed to mask his pain, but his voice shook slightly, although his face remained impassive

" Very well. Lord Black, do I have your word as the Head of Family that the Kin-killer will receive just punishment?”

"That depends on what you consider just punishment Milady.”

" There is only one punishment for a Kin-Killer. Death.”

" Then you have my word as the Head of both the Potter and Black Families that the Kin-killer will meet her end by either my hand or the hand of someone I trust.”

"Lord Black-Potter. The Ancient and Noble House of Black is now yours. It's secrets will become known to you as they led you to them. Allow myself 24 hours to moarn the loss of my last son, and converse with my neice and her family, and then you may remove me. Behind this portrait are the journals fo the past Lords. They now belong to you.”

"Thank you Lady Black. I am sorry for your loss.”

" As I am for yours as well Lord Black- Potter. Please close my curtains My Lord, as I find myself in need of solitude.”

"As you wish Milady. Would you like me to spell your curtains silent for you as well?”

"Thank you My lord. That would be nice.”

Harry nodded his head, and accepted the wand from his Professor once again, with a flick of the wand he spelled the curtains closed and silent, and handed the wand back, before turning and the rest of the house hold. He was now unsure what to expect from the rest of them, and once again found himself the centre of a combination of shock, fear and awe. Deciding the best thing to do was ignore the looks he was recieving, he moved towards the kitchen, stopping briefly to close Draco's mouth which was open in disbelif. “You know, that's a very good way to catch flies, Draco.” He said softly, before moving off to his spot at the table.

That little comment was enough to break the others from their shock, as the moved to join him at the table, although it was Dumbledore who actually broke the silence. “How did you know to do that My Boy?”

Shrugging his shoulders Harry half filled his plate and ignored the disaproving glare from Mom Weasley over the amount of food on his plate. “When I refused to talk over the last school term, I was handed books on Pure Blood Law. Little things that I read convinced me to try and treat her with the curtesy required of a Lady. It seems to have worked.”

" Indeed Lord Black-Potter.” Snape sneered.

"Did you really wish to go there at the moment Professor? I'm sure if I tried, I could remember the laws about besmeaching the Character of a Lord.” Harry said without looking up from his breakfest.

A sound from the doorway drew the attention of the others before Snape could respond. Harry didn't even look up as he adressed the person standing there. “As long as you remember to think before opening your mouths, and to keep your mouths shut if you can't say anything nice, you and your family are welcome to join us Aunt Petunia.” Harry told her. She disapeared and a moment later, room was made for three more at the table.

"Winky.” Harry called.

" Yes Harry Potter Sir.” Came a voice directly from behind him.

"Can you please bring breakfast up to the four in the library and make sure that they have everything they will need for the twins.”

"Of course Harry Potter Sir.” She said before disappearing with a short bow.

"It seems Mr. Potter, that you have finally grown a set of teeth.” Came the cool voice of Lucius Malfoy, who delibertly dropped the formal titles.

Harry looked up and gave him a grin both for the comment about teeth and for the lack of title. “You found out I had teeth at the end of my second year. Since then I've grown fangs and claws. I've just kept them hidden until now.”

Mrs. Malfoy gave him an apprasing look. “That's a very Slytherin thing to do Mr. Potter, not at all like the Gryffindor I was told you were.”

Harry nodded his head. “It's better if I keep my Slytherin side hidden. This way people underestimate me.”

"What happens now Mr. Potter?” She questioned.

Harry sat aside his fork and pushed his plate away with a sigh of disgust, turning the question she asked into something more basic. “I was just wondering if it would kill any of the Sytherins at the table to call me by my first name? I despise titles and the formalities that go with them.”

"It seems that who ever has been teaching you about the Laws governing Pure Bloods missed a few things Mr. Potter.” Mr. Malfoy said with a slight sneer.

Harry smiled. “It is highly unlikely that Severus missed anything when it comes to the important things considering Pure Blooded Law.”

Severus sighed, “You still have a lot to learn Brat.”

" I know you still have a lot to teach me on many different subjects, but we have been over this issue before. I refuse to do formal unless I have to. In my own home, surrounded by friends and family I don't have to do formal.”

"We are not your friends Potter.” Draco sneered.

"No Draco, you're my family. And anyone that treats you otherwise will have to deal with me.” Harry said with an edge to his voice as he glared around the table at the Order Members. They all nodded their heads in understanding, message received, the Malfoys were now part of Harry's family, and as such were not to be harmed.

Dumbledore caught his eye and gave him a nod of approval. The twinkle going full blast.

"Aunt Petunia?” Harry asked changing the subject.

Petunia looked up from her meal in surprise. She had been listening closly to everything all morning since Harry first came down the stairs, and could not believe the amount of authority the boy had. “Yes Harry.” She figured it was better to be polite then sorry.

"I was just wondering if it was Family Tradition to name the females in the family after a flower or plant. Or was it just something your parents did?”

This was the first time she had ever heard him ask a question of her without some kind of fear in his voice. Of course that could be because he was surrounded by more of his type then anything else. For the first time since he had landed at their door, she wondered what would have happened if they would have treated him better.

Looking around the table, she winced at the glares she was receiving, knowing full well that she should have taught Harry about the their family long ago. “It's a Family Tradition Harry. All the females in the Evans family are named after some kind of plant or flower. My Grandmother was named Rose-Lynn.” she told him. “Have you thought about what you are going to name your daughters?”

"I've been kind of busy since I first saw them yesterday, but I'm sure I'll think of something.”

"If I may make a suggestion?” When she received a nod in response she said. “I was planning on naming any daughter of mine Summer Lily. I would be honored if you found it a fitting name for one of your children.”

Harry thought about it for a moment before nodding his head in agreement. “Thank you Aunt Petunia. But it is you who honors both myself and my mother.” he said with a smile, “I was thinking about naming one of them Crystal, which is way I asked, to keep with the Tradition, I'll add the name Rose, after Grandmother Evans.”

With a glance at his Uncle, who was extremly red in the face, and still unable to talk, he continued. “I was thinking about setting you up in America with enough money to last you for a year. Would that be suitable to your needs.?”

Vernon glared at him and Harry motioned to Severus to break the spell. “And where are you, a penniless freak, going to get that kind of money? Steal it?” He finally was able to say.

The Members of the Order tensed with anger at these words but knew they could do nothing to Harry's family. It was Lucius Malfoy who spoke up, who refused to allow this Muggle to get away with his treatment of Harry. “Your nephew is doing everything he can to keep you and your family safe. As far as I'm concerned, you don't deserve any of his help. From what I can tell from you attitude towards him, he would be better off dropping you in the middle of nowhere and leaving you there. I know I would if I had my way. I suggest keeping a civil tongue in your mouth from now on or I will remove it.” he said, each sentence clipped, nothing but cold fury in his voice.

In the stunned silence, Harry locked gazes with his Uncle. “I will give you the money you need to buy tickets to wherever you want to go. Money to buy a place to live. And the money to buy new clothing. I have already asked the House Elves to pack up everything in your old house and key it to follow you to wherever you go, so you don't need to worry about that. There will also be enough money given to you to live for a year, as long as you don't go stupid and spend it on the things you don't need. Don't fool yourselves into thinking I care about your welfare. The only reason I am doing this is because my Mother would wish it done. And for your information, I have always had money. I just never cared to tell you about it.”

Harry stood from the table and stalked out of the room. He returned about 15 minutes later with a wallet full of money. “This will be enough to get you started in your new life. If it's not, find something cheaper. Every month for the next 12, Hedwig will find you and deliver another cheque to you. You will be watched in case something happens, just so I don't have your blood on my hands. You have one hour to get out of my house. The sooner your gone the sooner I no longer have to look at you. Don't make me regret giving you this much. Now get out of my sight.” Harry snarled.

Vernon and Dudley wasted no time in getting out of that room, but Petunia hesitated.

"Harry, can you send for one of those creatures. There are somethings that belong to you in the basement.”

"I'll send one of the House Elves to your room. Just tell him where everything is that you want brought here. He'll find it.”

"Thank you Harry. You have done more for us in the past day than we deserve for our past treatment of you.”

" You're family Aunt Petunia. Just because you do not have magic doesn't mean that I'm not bound by Magical Law.”

Petunia nodded her head in understanding, and left the room. And Harry returned to his chair and sunk into it, before glancing at the others around the table. “Thank you for not hexing them.”

"It's as you said, they are your family. I'm just wondering what kind of Muggle your Aunt would have made if she was not around that man.” Mom Weasley said.

"She would have been a squib.” Harry said softly.

"None the less Harry, I think I speak for everyone here when I say that we are proud of the way you have handled things today.” Dumbledore told him.

"Indeed” Severus said. “Now if you would only show as much dedication in your school work, as well.”

Harry rolled his eyes. “I do fine in my school work. The only thing I have problems with is Potions. And I would do just as well there, if the Bat of the Dungeons wasn't a Snarky Bastard, and if the Slytherin Prince would stop adding things to my cauldron.”

"You Mr. Potter are still a Brat.” Severus replied before anyone could tell Harry to mind his language.

"How many times do I have to tell you Professor Snape that I would rather be a Brat than a Bat?”

"Go introduce yourself to your daughters Pest.”

"Yes Sir. Coming Draco? I think we should leave the old folks in the room to themselves.” Harry laughed, and grabbig the blond's arm pulled him out the door. Leaving the adults to themselves.

Lucius looked around the table and cast a silencing spell so no one could hear their converstation. After several minutes of silence he finally asked the questions burning in his mind. “How many problems did he solve in the past two hours without even thinking about it?” he asked just as Lupin walked back into the room.

“Harry told me to talk to you about what happened after I left.” Remus said quietly.

Severus leaned back in his chair with silent satisfaction. “Your Godson Wolf, managed to remove all distractions, silence the Dursleys, remove Mrs. I mean Lady Black from the wall, have Bellatrix Lestrange declared Kin-killer, and received the order for her death. Put the Malfoys in their place and declared them family as well as the Weasleys. Forgave his Aunt, and moved them to America. Along with a few other small details.” He said.

Remus looked at Severus and smiled. “I'm sure you over simplified things as usual. No doubt he managed to get into an insulting match with you as well?” he asked.

“Of course. Life wouldn't be normal if he didn't.”

Narcissa couldn't believe what she was hearing. “You call that normal? Obviously you taught that boy more then just the Laws. I would not have believed any child could deal with everything like that!” she stated.

Albus looked around the room and saw matching expressions on almost every face. “For Harry, what he did today was normal. What you saw was his ability to think under pressure.”

“But surely ...” Narcissa started again, before Severus cut her off.

“Cissa. I did not teach him anything other then The Law. And I really didn't do that, I just gave him the opportunity to read what he wanted and ask questiones when he needed to. Everything else was pure Harry.”

Lucius backed Severus up. “I saw it in his second year, when he freed that House Elf. He did it with only a split second of thinking.” he told her. “What I want to know is how he managed to use someone elses wand.”

Remus looked at him in shock. “Who's Wand?” he asked before turning to Severus. “Yours.” It was not a question. He now understood the comment Harry made in the Library.

“Twice. And each time it was for something he could have done wandless. He wanted to make a statement to the Muggles.”

Fred and George still sat at the table trying to make sense out of everything. Finally, after everything else they stopped at one point that they could not understand on their own. “Professor Snape? How was Harry able to use your wand? It should not be possible to use another persons Wand.”

Severus wiped everything he was feeling off of his face before turning to the Weasley twins. “When you figure it out, do NOT tell Harry. He needs to work it out on his own.” he said with a mild glare. “I need to make sure he hasn't fallen apart yet.” and he left the room with a swirl of his robes.

“Care to explain that statement Albus?” Lucius asked.

“He was ready to have a mental breakdown yesterday before he called us in to help.” Albus explained, knowing that some the adults in the room already knew what Harry being able to use Severus's wand meant. “He had just started to pull himself out of it when he received your letter Lucius. Then everything started to happen real fast and he put everything he was feeling to the side and started to be the young man you saw today. I do believe his exact words were, 'I'll breakdown again when it's safe to do so. I don't have the time at the moment.' It's not healthy but he was right.”

“So you allowed Severus Snape to handle the situation. Are you sure he's the best person for this?” Molly asked in denial.

Albus gave Molly a small smile. “Severus has been helping Harry deal with a lot of different things over the past year. They'll be fine together.” he said.
