** Just so you know, I’m not going to be putting much about the Bonding method in here. You’ll understand why, I promise. Not in this chapter but the next one; Honest!

“We wouldn’t be Bonding to just you, we’d be Bonding to each other as well,” Severus answered, sitting down and pulling Harry into his lap. “Our leaders aren’t quite sure how it’s going to work yet though. They’re constantly trying to find a way to make it work. You can make them stop, if you want. We’d all understand if you don’t want….”

“If I don’t want what, Severus? If I don’t want all three of you? If I don’t want any of you? If I don’t want to be incredibly unusual? Too late. The three of you are stuck with me, get over it,” He declared.

This brought a grin to all three Beings’ faces. All three of them knew he always meant what he said.

“I will not have that many freaks staying here Petunia!” Vernon was home, by the sound of it.

“He doesn’t know you guys are here?” Harry asked.

“We just got here a couple of hours ago, Cub.”

“Get over it Vernon! They’re staying here and there’s nothing you can do about it!” Harry was shocked. Aunt Petunia was usually too afraid to stand up to her husband.

“Shit!” Harry jumped up from Severus’ lap just as he heard Vernon hit his aunt. He bolted down the stairs and grabbed the large man’s beefy arm with both of his own as his uncle brought his hand back again.

Vernon rounded on Harry and it was then that Harry realized his mates had followed him. Severus was in front of Harry holding both of Vernon’s arms. Though the man struggled, the Vampyre’s strength couldn’t be shaken. Harry ducked around them and went straight for Aunt Petunia. He saw then that Draco and Remus had their wands pointed at Vernon’s face. Severus moved to pull Vernon’s arms behind his back so the man could see both wands pointed at him.

At that moment, Harry noticed a few things very quickly. Severus’ fangs were elongated and his wings were out in a protective gesture. Remus’ eyes were golden and Harry could see the wolf raging to get out inside him. The hand wrapped around Draco’s wand had become claw-like, his finger nails were pure white talons and his usually storm grey eyes were bright, piercing blue with slited pupils. Lastly, he saw Dudley enter the room and reach for Draco.

Before Harry could warn him, the Veela side stepped his whale of a cousin and had his wand trained on Dudley’s face.

“I believe you have a sister, correct Mr. Dursley?” Remus’ voice was very forced calm. Vernon nodded. “Wonderful. You and your son are to go upstairs and pack. Then you will leave for her home. Severus and I will accompany you while you pack. Draco stay with Harry and Petunia.”

Draco nodded and the Werewolf and Vampyre followed the two whales to their rooms.

“Aunt Petunia, are you okay?” Harry wrapped his arms around his aunt when he’d reached her side.

“I’m fine, Harry. I just need some ice for my cheek,” She extracted herself from her nephew’s embrace and went to the freezer.

Harry looked to Draco and saw that his eyes were still all wrong and his hands were still claws. Hoping that mates had the same affect on Veelas as Werewolves, Harry wrapped his arms around Draco to calm his protective Veela side. “Draco, calm down, love. I’m okay now, I swear.”

Slowly, he could feel the blond in his arms calm down. The claws were gone when Draco wrapped his arm around the brunet. “Thanks, Harry.”

“Of course,” Harry smiled.

“You’ll have to do the same for the other two, you know,” Aunt Petunia spoke up.

“How do you know that?” Draco asked.

“Miss Figg; She’s a Squib who lives on the next street over. She gave Aunt Petunia a lot of books on each of you,” Harry explained.

Draco nodded. “Calm Severus first. I’ll try to calm Remus but as his wolf can’t burst out at will, I think he’ll be okay,” Draco said. Harry agreed.

Remus and Severus stood at the door as Dudley and Vernon got into the car and drove away. “Place a hand between his wings,” Petunia whispered to Harry.

He nodded and walked over to Severus as Remus closed the door. He reached up and placed his hand flat between the older wizards wings. “Sev, you gotts calm down. I’m okay now, I swear,” He used the same thing as with Draco.

Faster than Draco had, Severus calmed down. Harry could feel him relaxing under his palm. At Severus’ nod, Harry moved to Remus.

“Moony? Moony, you can calm down now. I’m okay,” Harry wrapped his arms around the Werewolf’s middle.

Harry watched as the golden eyes faded back to the normal warm brown. “Thank you, Cub,” Remus sighed. “Are you alright, Mrs. Dursley?” He turned to look at the woman.

“That’s funny, I could have sworn I was ‘Petunia’ half an hour ago,” She smiled. “But I’m just fine, thank you,” She held the small bag of ice to her face

“Excuse me a moment,” Severus left the room and Petunia, Draco, Harry, and Remus sat at the kitchen table. “Here, Petunia,” Taking her earlier comment as permission, Severus used her first name as he handed her a bruise salve.

“Thank you,” She applied the salve and handed it back. “Why do you look so familiar to me?” She asked.

“When you were young, do you remember the little boy who knew what your sister was before she got her letter? You told her to stay away from him,” Severus asked.

“That was you? I remember seeing you practically every summer after Lily started school,” Petunia stated.

“If I recall correctly, every time I came over you ran into your room,” He smirked.

“Well, of course I did. Lily had never mentioned that she wasn’t allowed to do magic outside of school. I was scared.”

“I want to know more about my mum,” Harry announced, mostly to Severus but Remus and Aunt Petunia were included.

“Of course, Harry. Let’s go sit in the living room though, okay?” Remus suggested.

Over the next two weeks, Harry was told many stories of both of his parents. His three mates and he also exchanged their own stories and spent time getting to know each other.

Two weeks before Harry’s birthday, Remus once again suggested that they move from the kitchen to the living room because he had a new story to share.

When the group entered the living room, there were already three people standing there. One man was tall with untidy black hair, glasses, and hazel eyes that sparkled with mischief. The woman was much shorter with wavy, dark red hair, a kind face, and brilliant green eyes. The other man was the tallest of the three, had longish black hair, and grey eyes that sparkled with the same mischief as the other’s.

“Hello Harry,” Lily said, James and Sirius smiling beside her.

** Two weeks later, and two weeks before Harry’s birthday is the same time. Term ends at Hogwarts at the end of June if I remember correctly, so it’s the middle of July now. Don’t you think this was just a wonderful place for me to leave off? I think it was. ;) And, for the record, everyone who’s reviewed this story, you guys are awesome! Thanks so much!
