Chapter 43

Everyone met back in the dining room. Lucius led them out of the Manor to the coaches. Climbing into the three coaches, it didn’t take them long before they reached St. Mungos. As they walked in, Security greeted them at the door. Harry stepped forward. The guard just looked at him. Lucius stood next to him. Still. There was no response from the guard. Hermione finally stepped forward and the guard’s eyes widened.

“Hermione Jane Granger! What are you doing here with this lot? You know your parents think you are at school.” The young girl blushed.

“Aloysius Duncan don’t you take that tone with me. I am here with Lord Lucius Malfoy-Potter and Lord Harry Malfoy-Potter and the Weasleys. Please move as we have a friend to collect and return to the school.”

Aloysius bowed his head. “Mione I’m only doing me job. The authorities around here freak when they see more than three people come in together. We aren’t authorized to permit this many through. It’s new procedure. I’m sorry.”

Hermione glared at him. “Aloysius Duncan use your brain. If Harry Potter, Savior of the Wizarding World, wanted past and was determined, do you think you could stop him? What about Lucius Malfoy or Draco Malfoy or out Potions Master, Severus Snape? Think you could restrain any of these wizards if they wanted through? Or me?”

She was winding up for another speech before Molly laid a hand on her shoulder.

“Mr. Duncan, I am Molly Weasley, mother to seven children, adoptive mother to Harry Potter and soon to be Grandmother. Do you want to see what a crone I can be? Move aside young man and let three of us through. Severus, Draco and Hermione will be attending to our friend. Call your superiors in the meantime and tell them who you are detaining.”

Molly nodded and the three moved off towards the Maternity Ward. She pulled herself up to her full height and crossed her arms across her chest with a killing glare in her eyes. The guard walked over the communications box and made the call. The six watched as he shuddered, smiles crossing their faces. They schooled their faces back into serious looks when he returned. Lucius felt his anxiety and Harry was picking it up as well. The blond decided to ease the young man’s discomfort.

“Mr. Duncan, I appreciate your dedication to the rules. I hope you maintain this level of dedication. This world needs more wizards like you. Now, I think you should work on your ‘people skills’ if you want to maintain control in an emotional situation. I am sure Mr. Weasley here, who works at MOM, can offer you suggestions for the professional training. You’ve done well so far. Well done.”

Harry looked at the young man and gave a small smile. He thought towards his husband ‘Lucius you do have a way with words. You have a ‘silver tongue’ and I can’t wait until we get somewhere where I can take advantage of it.’

The brunet heard the blond grunt in his mind. ‘Not to worry, my husband. I fully intend on showing you in private. Now we wait for the others.’

Harry and Lucius looked around, noticing the lack of seating. Not knowing how long they would be waiting, they transfigured two chairs into two small settees. Molly and Arthur took one and Lucius and Harry the other. The twins were left with the empty chairs. They settled down, talking quietly to each other. Finally, the four joined them, Draco and Severus walking on either side of Pansy in case she needed assistance. Hermione walked behind her just in case. The twins were the first to respond as they half-ran and embraced her.

Pansy started crying as they held her. Hermione moved over to them and the twins moved to create a group hug. Small whispers were heard, a gentle, welcoming kiss was seen, hands moved over her arms and stomach in comfort. Hermione looked at the others sitting down and nodded. It was time to go home to Hogwarts. They all stood and joined the four. Lucius gently cleared his throat.

“It’s time. Hogwarts awaits. It’s time to astound Albus Dumbledore.” Harry looked at Lucius closely and noticed the twinkle in his eyes. This homecoming promised to be something special.

Lucius led the group out of St. Mungos, past the befuddled Aloysius Duncan. The twins and the witches stopped in front of a coach. The twins opened the door and helped Pansy in then Hermione. They climbed in behind the girls and shut the door. Molly and Arthur climbed into the second while Harry, Lucius, Severus and Draco took the last coach. In very little time they arrived at Hogwarts. Harry looked at Severus and Lucius with a look that clearly said ‘How?’ Severus couldn’t resist so he leaned into Harry’s side and whispered into his ear ‘Magick’. The Gryffindor rolled his eyes at the Potions Master and moved out of the carriage. Severus was still trying to refrain from giggling. Yes, giggling. The Great Bat of the Dungeon sounded like a pre-teen female when he thought he was being funny.

Harry stood looking up at the first place he had felt at home. Now he felt another welcoming from the castle. Harry held Lucius hand as he looked back at the other coaches. The other eight joined them. The young Gryffindor looked them all over and then stared at his husband.

‘Lucius I do believe the Weasley parents have taken advantage of their private coach’ was the thought he sent. The blond returned a mental chuckle. ‘That’s why they are called private for a reason.’ Lucius turned to everyone. Molly was patting her hair back in place while Arthur was straightening the knot of his tie above his robe.

“Shall we enter the school and see where we shall be living?”

The ten stood at the front of the steps, holding hands with their significant others and started up the stairs. Half way up the doors swung open in welcome. Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagal stepped forward to watch the couples return. None were surprised to see the twinkle in Albus’ eyes as he greeted each one with a handshake. He held off, leaving Harry and Lucius to last. He gave Lucius the handshake and a rub on the back. For Harry, Albus Dumbledore had a huge hug and tear glistening eyes.

“Welcome home my children. We’ve been waiting for you. Let’s go find a room, get comfortable and have a nice long chat.”

The Headmaster turned loose of Harry and held his arm out for Minerva. Harry laid his hand in the small of Lucius’ back. They proceeded into the castle. As they moved through the halls, Harry’s sensitive hearing was picking up sounds of classes. He frowned for a moment before Lucius stopped and turned to him.

“Harry I’m picking up something. What’s wrong?”

The Gryffindor looked at his blond and without so much as a blink of an eye, his wings appeared and wrapped around Lucius. The others stopped and pulled wands. Severus put up a protective spell around Draco and himself. Molly and Arthur put one up around the other four and themselves. Albus and Minerva stood watching. The emerald-eyed young Veela let his senses take over, seeking out what he perceived as a threat to his mate.

Lucius leaned back into Harry’s arms and pulled his own wand as his empathic senses picked up on Harry’s and something else around them. A sound was heard coming closer to them and moving fast. All wands came up and were aimed up and down alternately. A person who looked closely and noticed things would recognize that these people had trained together at some time. Their stances and wand positions would attest to that fact.

All twelve were tensed as the sound grew closer. A higher pitch keening was assaulting their ears. A pop was heard and the sounds of running feet proceeded the keening. Harry saw the runner first and moved a wing to block it. He swept his wing back in a look at his ‘catch’. The noise reached headache level as the source came into view.

Severus reacted next, sending a powerful stunning spell upwards. It made contact and the keening stopped. Above them hovered Peeves, their Poltergeist. Harry looked down to see what was now shivering under his wings. Lucius sneered while Harry’s eyes widened. “Dobby?”

“Harry Potter sir. You have saved Dobby again.”

Harry’s wings opened wide and retracted as he knelt down to talk to the house-elf. He looked at the little creature before talking softly.

“Dobby what did I save you from? I thought house-elves were quite capable of protecting themselves or able to leave the area.”

The little creature made a whimpering noise. “Oh Harry Potter you save me only until it frees itself. Peeves is chasing house-elves always. He follows us into anywhere. Can you help us Harry Potter?”

Harry put his hand on Dobby’s shoulder and stood up. Everyone looked at the poltergeist. The Gryffindor looked to his husband and began a mental conversation.

‘Lucius I’m sure you have experience with Peeves from your time here. How did you keep him out of the Slytherin territory?’

The blond smirked. ‘That my dear Harry is one of the well guarded secrets of Slytherin House. The majority of the area is blessed to keep evil out. It has to be renewed every so often. It must be getting near time again if he’s up to this.’

Harry looked back at Peeves and thought back to Lucius. ‘We can’t bless the entire castle. It could interfere with the other ghosts. Is there some way we can limit his area?’

Lucius stood in front of his husband. He looked over to Severus and Draco. He eventually spoke to the others.

“Finally. Now we can all rest. A Gryffindor has found a way to control the poltergeist. My husband, as Miss Granger has said, has a savior complex. I say it’s a natural condition. Years ago it was said “A leaving student would figure it out”. My Harry has done it. I refuse to say it in front of Peeves. Severus call the Baron to take Peeves elsewhere. We can then go have these pressing conversations.”

Wands were tucked away as the wizards and witches calmed down. They watched as the Baron appeared and dealt with Peeves. Albus turned and began walking, knowing the others would follow. He finally stopped in front of a tapestry depicting King Arthur and his roundtable. Merlin was standing to King Arthur’s left and raised an eyebrow at Albus.

“Albus my friend. It’s been positively ages since you’ve been to visit. What brings you and your friends here today?”

The Headmaster’s eyes twinkled madly. “Merlin you know I can’t tolerate it when you ask inane questions. We are in need of the suites and a common room. I’ll speak with you later Merlin so no listening in. The current password is jumping jelly beans.”

The figure of Merlin scowled at Albus but with a loud snap the tapestry began rolling itself up. The elderly wizard led the group through the opening. They found seats and looked around. The students, former and current, eyed the rooms and were impressed.

Lucius spoke first.

“Well, Headmaster, it seems you and the castle have been holding out on us. I must say though that I am impressed. If this is the common room and an indication of what the suites will be like, we should have no problems here.”

Albus just smiled. “Yes, well, we’ll get to that momentarily. This is indeed the common room heading into different suites. First though, I’d like to discuss Harry’s idea about Peeves. We cannot banish him any more than we could banish the Baron or Myrtle. All of them are integral parts of the castle. Harry would you please explain to me your idea?”

Harry cleared his throat and gripped Lucius hand tighter before speaking.

“Well, Headmaster, if we can’t banish him completely, why can’t we confine him to one section of the castle? I don’t want to use the Chamber but there must be some area where a straying student could get scared and never go back there again. It would serve two purposes – keep Peeves from terrorizing the general populace and work as a guard system. You could store ‘sensitive’ items there and not have to worry about them.”

Albus Dumbledore stroked his long beard in silent contemplation.

“That’s a splendid idea Harry, splendid. Let me see if I can locate a place in the castle. In the meantime, research on how to keep him confined and all the little nuances involved. Oh, and somewhere in there, make a stipulation to allow him out for a little time. You’ll also have to figure out how to contain him again. Hmmm, maybe a separate room where he can stay while we make sure his confinement area is still viable? It’s something to think on. Now, we need to address several questions I’m sure the Board of Directors will want answers for and then to see to the living quarters. Who wants to fill in the gaps for me? I thought I knew just about everything that went on in Hogwarts.”

The ten looked at each other, trying to figure out what was going on. Severus finally decided to speak up.

“Headmaster, for years Lucius and I knew Harry Potter was a Veela. The young man came into his powers, you acted all secretive again, so he came to me. Lucius was visiting at the time. We were not shocked to find the blond his mate. To sum things up fast, they bonded in my quarters. In the meantime Hermione Granger and Draco arrived. We had a fairly intimate meeting but Miss Granger left. Draco and I continued talking and Hermione found Pansy Parkinson and started a discussion.”

He stopped talking for a moment and looked at Pansy Parkinson, who just nodded before bending her head. Severus started again.

“Pansy had been performing ‘social experiments’ in a controlled environment in the lower levels of our section. Unknown to Miss Parkinson I was monitoring her results. Fortunately for us, I was able to sabotage the majority of them. Unfortunately, I was distracted one time and could not “fix” the problem. In short, Miss Parkinson and Miss Granger were impregnated. Twins for each. In the meantime, Harry and Lucius were progressing as Harry discovered Veela changes and his father’s book on Veelas. As you are aware, we had 2 weddings, honeymoons and other happenings. Since then, Miss Skeeter formulated falsehoods and published them. Pansy nearly lost a baby and her life before it was Harry to the rescue again. Miss Skeeter has since drowned and Pansy has been returned. We need to plan two weddings and arrange our living quarters.” Severus stopped and looked at Lucius who nodded.

“Hmm” started the blond husband of Harry Potter “as a member of the Board of Directors, I feel safe in saying there will be little to no opposition to the couples residing in these quarters. If you are so vehemently opposed to this, please know that Malfoy Manor is open to all of us and I will be asking Poppy to come with us. If we go you will also have to replace Severus as Potions Master. I will finance any potion venture he would undertake. Draco may also do the same with his funds. Also, I will petition the MOM to send out the testers so these young adults will receive the honors they deserve. Yes sir, I will also provide tutors for them.”

The blond stopped, letting his speech sink in to all of them.

Harry leaned over and kissed him. Draco smirked at his father before kissing Severus. The twins and their respective brides kissed each other. Molly laid her head on Arthur’s shoulder. Minerva looked at Albus.

The elder wizard knew when he lost the battle. The only good thing is his ‘children’ would be around him again. Even Hogwarts Castle seemed to relax with the knowledge of ‘her children’ coming home.
