Looking Through Your Eyes

Chapter 29 “Welcome Back”

“Hey, Moony.” Harry smiled weakly at the werewolf. “Where have you been?”

“Well I was giving you some time with mother. I am sorry about the shock we didn’t think that you would take it so hard. You were still conscious when they all came to life we thought you would remember everyone.” Remus placed the food tray he had been carrying onto Harry’s lap.

“I was really drained I can’t really remember much of anything. I’m sorry mum I didn’t hurt you did I?”

“No love you didn’t.” Lilly wipe the tears away from his face and offered Remus a watery smile before turning to Snape. “Well brother dear what do we do now?”

“We wait. Last night Harry used a lot of magic and he needs to recover. Second we must find a safe place to house our new guests I doubt we can keep you all here under the headmaster’s nose.”

“We were able to buy time last night as the guardians stopped time once Harry had started the incantation and it started again once they left.” Draco stated as he got out Harry’s daily potions. No one missed the fact he gave some vitamin potions to Remus.

“Yes we were more than successful last night. The Founders are in the living room and Draco’s Mother is on her way here as well. It seems Draco made a Deal with the Devil and she insisted on coming here to insure his soul was intact.” The potion Master ignored the Glare from his oldest godson.

“Dray what is he say what deal did you make?”

“It wasn’t a deal it was just a question on where the soul of Sirius Black was. The demon Gandar didn’t know but he said if we return Voldemort then he would ask Hades and the gods to look in to his missing soul.”

“Why?”

“Because Harry he meant a lot to you and I want you to be happy. If we can get him back than we will.” Harry smile at his mate if he didn’t already love him he would have fallen hard right then and there.

“Speak for yourself some of us do not wish Black’s return.”

“Severus!”

“No Remus he drove us apart and I will not let him do it again. I lost you and our daughter that day. I caused me to do the most stupidest thing in my life and I have spent 20 years in hell because of it. So believe me when I say I do not want Black back.”

“Even if he was forced to?” All Eyes turned toward the door. Narcissa Malfoy stood in the doorway the Very picture of a Pure veela with Long silvery blond hair dressed in the finest silk robes complimenting her ivory skin and piercing Silver eyes.

“Mother!” Draco ran to her and hugged her petite form.

“Yes, Dragon I got here as soon as I could. I was able to slip by the Headmasters notice seems some one let a herd of Hippogriffs loose in the great hall.”

“I always knew you were the best Prankster Cissy.”

“Lills?”

“Yes?” The two women stood facing one another and seemed to be lost in time. Then the hugged each other crying.

“I missed you my dear friend.”

“I’m sorry I didn’t do more to help I should have, but I …”

“Cissy, you have nothing to be sorry for. You had Draco to think of and you had to keep secret about you being Veelan.”

“But…”

“No buts Cissy. I still love you, you are my best friend.”

“Very Heart warming Narcissa, Lilly but I think we all could do with a reprieve from your dramatics.”

“Not so fast Severus. You were condemning my Cousin for something he was forced to do.”

“Forced? Ha! I doubt his arm was twisted very hard in order to get him to say what he did. I really doubt you are related to that mongrel as you are a veela and he is not. So spare me his excuses Narcissa I never want to see that man again.”

“You are wrong you stubborn bastard. Sirius was a Dark Veelan he and Bella took after the Black side as I and Andromeda took from my mother’s side of the Light Veelan. Sirius had to lie to you about Remus because of me. Lucius wanted you to take the Dark mark but the only way to get you to join was to cut your connection to Remus. He threatened to harm me if he didn’t tell you Remus hated you. Sirius could have killed him but our family has been hiding as pure bloods for so long he couldn’t risk get caught despite our laws being in his favor. Not long after that my father arranged my Marriage with Lucius’ father because he offered a lots of money for my breeding as all Malfoys are fair haired and fair skinned. Sirius was livid when he found out because he knew Lucius would always hold power over him because of me.”

“NO! I can not listen to this he ruined not only my life but Remus’ life as well I can not forgive him. I will not forgive him!” Severus stormed out of the bedroom refusing to look at any of them.

“Sev! I’ll go after him. I’m sorry Narcissa he’s in shock.”

“Don’t worry Remus. Go to him he needs you.” The werewolf nodded then left after his mate.

“Cissy let’s let these two rest I’m sure you could use a cup of tea after your long trip.”

“Thank you Lills, Dragon we’ll be in the sitting room you stay here and watch over your family.” Draco blushed as the two women exited the room. How did his mother know they had bonded? He sighed then he moved to sit next to his beloved.

“How are you love?”

“Fine, I guess. It’s a lot to take in. First I wake to find my Mum’s a live then you made a deal with Gandar and Severus hating Sirius more than usual, I’m not even sure I got all the details on that, then your mum shows up. Everyone seems to be living 20 years in that past; I don’t think they realized we were even here.”

“Yes that’s would be a lot to take in.”

“On top of that I still have to use the loo.” Harry pouted as his mate laughed.

“Well we’ll have to fix that. Come on love I’ll help you to the loo and if you take the rest of you’re potions then I’ll help you take a bath.”

“You’re my hero!” Smiled the pregnant teen threw himself into his mates arms.

“Why are we walking all the way to Hogwarts?” The wizard was getting agitated with his guide.

“Because, sir, we must keep you presents unknown from the old one. He was responsible for your death as well as the mad one. He is after the chosen and his mate’s off spring as is the mad one and the dark one.” Lantis calmly marched along delaying the inevitable.

“Do you always talk in riddles? I have no idea what the hell you just said. Who are the chosen, the old, one dark, and mad one? Lantis I want bloody answers and I want them now!”

“Sir, you shall get you answers, but what I have to tell you or show you will not be easy to see or hear.”

“I will do what ever it takes if it means saving the ones I love.” The answer was expected as the loyalty courage and love ran strong in their blood.

“As much as we would like sir we can not save loved ones from their own past.”

“What the hell are you saying?” with a sad look upon his face the Silver Vampire stopped and turned to stand before the wizard.

“I am sorry sir, but I can only show what I know.” It was that last thing the wizard heard before he felt the fangs biting into his soft flesh. Then they were gone again and incantation being spoken in a foreign tongue. “As you sleep the blood memory shall show you all you need to know and a glimpse of the future should you chose that path. Sleep well Sir I shall be here when you wake.” Then the wizard blacked out.

“Severus?” Remus found the potion Master hiding in his lab.

“I don’t want to talk Remmy.” He kept his back to his mate trying to hide his pain.

“I know love. I know you and I know that you’ll never like Sirius I can understand that and I will respect it. I will not try to change you mind, but I do believe Narcissa and I want to hear it from my friend before I pass judgment.” He closed the door, but made no attempt to get closer as he could feel lover freezing him out.

“How can you be so clam? He tore us apart! He ruined our Lives!” Severus whirled around to face his mate. He couldn’t believe how his mate could be so forgiving.

“Severus! Sirius was not the only reason we were torn apart. You doubted my feelings and you readily gave yourself to Voldemort because of it. You did what Lucius wanted you to do! So don’t blame me for giving my friend a chance. He did what he had to in order save a loved one you didn’t have to believe him, but you did because you had so little faith in me and us. You know what I still love you and we are to be bonded. When he returns I will welcome him. I won’t demand anything of you that I know you won’t give freely.” Remus turned and opened the door. ‘Sometimes I wonder if you really want to love me or am I just duty? Guard your heart if you must but I refuse to do so.’ Then he left the room.

When Harry and Draco made it to the living room they stood in shock. To say they were surprise would be an understatement to what they found. Both of theirs mothers were having what looked like a society tea with the Founders with the exception of Godric as he sat in the corner looking bored out of his mind. They listened as the Ladies and Salazar discussed battle plans for the war as calmly as if they were talking about the weather.

“Good afternoon everyone. I hope we aren’t interrupting anything.” Draco greeted as he guided Harry to a vacant chair.

“Not at all my son we were just discussing plans and where the founders should stay.”

“That’s good news.” Harry smiled then frowned as Godric continued to glare at Salazar. “Lord Godric is something wrong?” The young Gryffindor received a fierce scowl.

“Ignore him Mr. Potter he is being punished for rude and brash behavior.” Salazar replied as he refreshed his tea. It then dawned on Harry that The Founder of the Gryffindor house was under a silencing charm.

‘Oh this is too funny Harry.’

‘Draco do not laugh I mean it if you do you’ll sleep in the couch.’

‘You wouldn’t, I can’t be without you.’

‘Then you better keep you mouth shut.’ Harry received no mental reply from his mate as a sign that he got the message loud and clear.

“So Mum what have you decided?”

“Well Harry we know we can’t stay in the castle with Dumbledore watching you every move, but we can’t be too far from you. You are in you last months of pregnancy and you are vulnerable. So the Founders are going to retreat to Lady Helga’s home in the Forbidden forest. Cissy and I will be staying here with Remus and Severus.”

“But mum…”

“No buts it is safer to have us close by and we are not as detectable the founders as their Magic is stronger than ours.”

“Okay you win. I happy you’re staying. Tomorrow classes start again, so we won’t be able to sneak down here often. Not that I can sneak anywhere.” Harry huffed rubbed his ever growing belly.

“It’s ok we know that, love. Don’t worry about us we have a lot of catching up to do,
and we have plans to be making, but I know you’ll visit when you can.” Lilly moved over to Harry than gave him a hug. “No worries little one.”

“No worries mum.” Harry smiled and soaked up the warmth from his mother. Suddenly the door burst open and Lantis stood in the doorway looking like he was about to collapse with a body in his arms.

“Can someone help me? I can’t hold him any longer.”

“Remus?” Severus walked into their bedroom to find his mate asleep on their bed.
The pregnancy was really taking a toll on the werewolf. The stress of the war and taking care of Harry and Draco was sapping his strength, now Lilly was back and the truth of Sirius it was too much. The potion master removed Remus’ robes and shoes making it more comfortable as he slept. He blamed himself for his mate’s sadness. It was hard to let go of the past and even harder to trust anyone.

Severus scolded himself over and over again. Being able to love Remus again was a miracle and here he was screwing it up with doubt. Loving Remmy was not a duty it was an honor and he had to prove it. He had to prove it to Remmy and himself that he believes in them and their love for each other. He had been a coward 20 years ago and he did believe Black when he told him Remus had left him. It was so easy to believe, because Remus was beautiful smart fun and so full of life. Why would he stay with a Potion apprentice who smelled like potions and never left the darkness of the dungeons?
He had nothing to offer 20 years ago and it was believable that Remus wanted something better and had found it. What had hurt and hardened his heart was that he was told their child had been aborted.

In that moment he lost all hope in anything and everything and became the perfect puppet for Lucius to manipulate. He may not like Black but like Remus he could give him another chance. Well not chance at friendship, but to be civil after all this was for Remmy and their daughter Serenity and their son yet to be born. He smiled as he tucked the comforter around his love. There was one person he trusted and he should have trusted a long time ago and that was his Remmy.

“Sev?”

“Hush love go to sleep.”

“What’s going on?” The werewolf tried to sit up only to be pushed back down into the soft pillows.

“You rest Remmy. I came to say I’m sorry and that loving you has never been a duty but a gift that I cherish very much. You were right and I was wrong and if Black does return I will be civil and nothing more.”

“You’d do that for me?”

“No, for us because I trust you and your judgment but I will never like Black.” Remus gave Him the bright smile with laughter dancing in his eyes. This was what he wanted to see for the rest of his life and that was to see his Mate truly happy. “Now get some sleep our son needs it.”

“Our son?”

“Yes Despite all the stress he is healthy and in my exam I was able to tell were are having a little boy.” Severus smiled.

“That’s wonderful! Do you know what Harry is having?”

“Twins.” Severus received a slap on the arm for that.

“You know what I mean Severus. Is he having boys or girls?”

“I can’t tell you he wanted it to be a surprise.”

“Wipe that smirk off you face I’m going to sleep.”

“You’re cute when you pout.” Before Remus could respond there was shouting and commotion coming from the living room. “Stay here and rest I’ll see what’s going on.”
He didn’t wait for a response and left to investigate.

“Lantis what on earth happen?” Helga as she started gathering healing herbs.

“We were ambushed by death eaters. He put up a great fight, but there we too many.” Lantis sat down, his appearance was disheveled.

“There was more than an attack. You fed upon him.” Salazar examined the fallen wizard.

“I did not feed on him my Lord, it was a blood memory. He has just awakened from a long sleep and knows nothing of what has happened these past 17 years. I needed to inform him in away for him to believe.” The silver then turned his attention to the young Gryffindor. “And yes Mr. Potter he knows your past.”

“But how? He doesn’t need to know!”

“Yes, he does. During your switch you bled a lot I saved a small vile of it for Blood memory. There must be no secrets in this war and not from Family.”

Draco saw his mate in tears he wanted to rip the Silver Vampire’s throat out but his mate needed him. He sat beside his love and wrapped his arms around him. Harry was shaking this was not what he wanted. He didn’t want them to see him as the whore and freak he had always been told he was.

‘Harry stop thinking like that you are not any of those things.’

‘He knows Draco, he knows what I am!’

‘You are a strong caring loving man that I am honored to have you as my mate. That monster Dursley told you a bunch of shit to break you, but he didn’t and he’s not going to now. Whatever happens I will stand by you and the twins love you. We are a family and nothing is going to tear us apart.’ Harry stopped shaking and wrapped himself in the soothing love Draco was sending through there bond.

“What is going on here?”

“Severus the Silver vampire has returned with someone and he needs your help. Lord Slytherin and Lady Hufflepuff are tending him right now.” Narcissa held a sobbing Lilly. “Please, Severus they were attack by death eaters.”

“Fine I shall see what can do.” He couldn’t understand why his sister and Harry were so upset. He listened to the two founder report of the patient but he was unable to concentrate because this person should be dead but he wasn’t, but just like Lilly he was brought back by Harry’s magic and love. The face that had haunted his memories was back. He would help him but only for Harry, Lilly, and Remus but other that he hated this man’s guts.

“Welcome back Potter.”
