Chapter 46
Harry showed everyone the cupboard under the stairs where he spent his first eleven years, and then took them all upstairs and showed then his room. When Molly saw the locks on the outside of the door and the little cat flap at the bottom she couldn’t help but begin to cry. Some of the stories that Harry had told them about came rushing to the forefront of each of their minds.
Fred and George pointed out the bars on the windows that Vernon had placed there just to make sure that Harry couldn’t escape. Then Harry went over and pried off the pane that he had fixed so that Hedwig would have a way in and out of the room, so that she could go hunt for herself and wouldn’t starve to death.
Then taking a deep breath Harry went over to the mattress and turned it over. There on the underside of the ratty old mattress was a huge brownish colored stain. No one said anything but they knew it was Harry’s blood. Harry hung his head slightly and mumbled how the stain was from the last time Vernon made him…do things… and Harry had fought him.
Harry groaned when Norische tore off the invisibility cloak he had been covered in, concerned that Shacklebolt and Tonks might waiver on their word not to take Norische in. But Harry didn’t argue further when Norische pulled him close and wrapped his arms around him protectively. Right now Norische didn’t care if the Aurors saw him, he didn’t care if they tried to take him in, in fact he wasn’t concerned about them at all. The only thing on his mind right now was Harry.
Arthur had to Stupify Ron when he stormed out into the hallway and started heading back downstairs mumbling he was going to kill the bastard. After that Molly decided that it was time that the kids returned to ShadowHaven, so with Kain and Pari’s assistance the entire red haired clan, as well as Hermione, headed back.
Of course Molly and Arthur stated that they would make sure everyone was calmed down and that they would meet up with Harry at the Ministry in a few minutes. Neither one of them were willing to let their adopted son face this without them.
After going over a few more details with Tonks and Shacklebolt and showing them the rest of the house and the back yard, the Dursleys were revived and then escorted out of the house to the waiting vehicle.
After a brief discussion with Severus, Remus and Sirius, Harry agreed that he would go down and fill out the paper work that was necessary but after that was completed, Harry, Norische, Draco and Chris would all return to ShadowHaven as well. After all it was a little risky for them to be out and about for too long.
“Once we get all the bloody paperwork and stuff done, you four need to be heading on home. Severus, Remus, Molly, Arthur and I can take it from there.” Sirius suggested as he helped Tonks repack the pensieve and the bottled memories.
“No way… I started this and I am going to finish it.” Harry started to argue.
“Harry, you must consider the fact that you are to be bonded tomorrow…and I am quite sure there are a few details with the ceremony that still need to be gone over.” Severus interrupted.
“Well, yeah…I forgot about that. But most of it…” Harry began again
“Harry… I honestly don’t think that Norische should be out much longer. And I am quite sure that any additional stress today would not be healthy for him or the babies.” Severus explained, he had honestly hoped that Harry would have accepted his reasoning and simply agreed to go home as soon as possible. Unfortunately, he was a Gryffindor through and through.
“Your right Severus. Nori should probably go back now, that way he can rest a bit.” Harry looked over to Norische with concern.
Norische growled low in his chest and moved over to stand directly in front of Harry. Leaning down he whispered into Harry’s ear. “I should take you over my knee and spank you for even suggesting such a thing. I am your mate; I will be with you through this, by your side. And if you think for one moment it will be otherwise, I have not one problem with taking you back to our bedroom where we can have a proper ‘discussion’ on this matter.” Norische’s tone left no room for doubt as to exactly what his statement truly meant.
Harry shivered slightly as he felt Norische’s breath against his ear. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean… ah…” Harry cleared his throat and tried again. “How about after they finish with the paperwork that the four of us head back then?”
Norische nodded in acceptance and looked over to Chris and Draco to make sure they agreed. Both of who nodded immediately, Harry was their mate as well and they were going to be there for him too.
Sirius assured his godson that any questions the Aurors, or the magistrate had could be answered via owl. Then after a final check to make sure everything was cleaned up and presentable in the house once again they all apparated over to the Ministry of Magic.
Sirius, Remus, Severus, Harry, Norische, Chris and Draco made it to the apparition point beside the Ministry of Magic just a few minutes after Molly and Arthur. The Weasleys were just going in the front entrance as the rest of them were walking around the side of the building. Harry called out to Arthur, thankfully he heard and motioned to Molly to stop and wait for them.
Arthur happily directed everyone over to the lifts and they all headed to the second floor where the Auror headquarters and Mr. Weasley’s office was. They went down a long hallway that had magical windows everywhere, each window was set to show a different part of Wizarding London, almost like the surveillance cameras the muggles used. Arthur was more than happy to explain the windows and Norische had to admit that he found them fascinating but he honestly wanted just to get this all over with, so with a little encouragement Arthur directed the way to Amelia Bones’ office.
Thankfully Tonks and Shacklebolt had secured the Dursleys in holding cells and were waiting on the rest of them to get there. Tonks had taken it upon herself to start viewing and categorizing the memory strings that Harry had provided, adding to the collection her own memories of the cupboard, the locks on his bedroom door, the bars, and that horrid stain. Shacklebolt was going over some of the details and information that he had already gotten from Vernon and Petunia. Noting of course that they were screaming for their lawyer.
Norische could feel Harry’s apprehension as they entered Ms. Bones’ office, thankfully though she seemed to be a genuinely nice person and greeted them warmly as soon as she saw them.
“Severus! It’s great to see you again. Although I have no idea why we only meet under such circumstances.” Amelia stood up from her desk and extended her hand to her cousin.
“Amelia…” Severus gladly shook her hand and even allowed himself to be pulled in for a quick hug. “I do so hate to bother you, but under such circumstances there is no one that I would trust more than you to take care of this properly.
Amelia sat back down and motioned for everyone else to take a seat as well, after conjuring a couple extra seats of course. “So Severus are you going to introduce me to everyone, I know Arthur and his lovely wife Molly of course, and Harry, but who else did you bring with you today?”
Severus sat down in the chair closest to Amelia’s desk and then began the introductions. “Amelia, this is my partner Remus Lupin.” A quick hand shake a welcoming smile was given before Remus took a seat. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Bones.”
“Amelia please. And the pleasure is mine. I knew that Severus couldn’t keep running for ever, someone was bound to catch him one of these days.” With a slight chuckle she waited for the next introduction.
“This is Sirius Black, Harry’s godfather.” Severus waited for the appropriate greetings to be exchanged and then continued.
“This of course is Harry Potter.” Harry stood up and extended his hand to Ms. Bones with a sad smile. “I truly wish we could have met under different circumstances Ma’am.”
Amelia nodded as she shook his hand. “Hopefully we can get this mess taken care of quickly and get you out of here before too long.”
“Amelia I would like you to meet my son, Norische De LeNoir Snape.” Severus proudly introduced Norische, who stood and bowed formally to her.
“Your son? Severus after we finish here we definitely need to have a little chat.” Amelia gave Severus a rather accusatory look but quickly hid it behind a genuinely warm smile as she shook Norische’s hand.
“Of course Amelia…at your convenience. Next I would like to present Chris LaCroix, Norische’s mate.” Chris rose and bowed, but did not look Amelia in the eyes or attempt to shake her hand when she presented it.
“You must forgive my mate M’lady. He is unfamiliar with your customs and hence would never dream to touch a lady.” Norische chuckled and placed a calming hand on Chris’ arm indicating that he could sit down.
Molly rolled her eyes and spoke up. “Boys you can’t be using formal manners here and expect to get out of this place before sundown. Chris, luv…relax and be informal.”
Chris blushed at the suggestion but nodded. “As you wish M’lady.”
Severus snickered at Chris, but continued the introductions. “This is Draco Malfoy, also a mate of my son.” Draco stood uncertain of how he should proceed; he looked over to Norische for clarification.
“Do as the Minde Cladire instructed Draco, she wishes informal protocol.” Norische smiled at his mate, he knew that Draco was a little apprehensive of how to behave in public still. Being a Malfoy, Draco had been trained at an early age on all the proper manners and etiquette that could possibly be expected from someone of his standing. But now that he was mated to a Vampyre, it was a whole new world he had to learn and even thought he was quite confident most circumstances, he still had some apprehension when it came to Vampyric protocol and traditions. After all he was a Prince now, and to behave in an inappropriate manner would be…well…inappropriate.
Draco bowed and shook Amelia’s hand, although he didn’t raise his eyes or look at her directly…behaving just as he had seen Chris do.
“Welcome everyone. Again I am sorry we had to meet under such circumstances. Severus gave me some information and that with what Auror Tonks and Auror Shacklebolt have told me a few moments ago, I think we have a pretty clear-cut case. I believe that Tonks is going thru the memories that you supplied Mr. Potter to verify their legitimacy and is currently recording the specific charges that would apply with each memory. I do apologize that we have to go through so much bureaucratic red tape but I do need you to run through the list of charges and see if there is anything you want to add or remove, and to see if there are any recommendations of how you would like us to proceed from here.” Amelia handed Harry a stack of papers, several pages for each of the Dursleys.
Harry gingerly took the papers and placed them between himself and Norische. As they went over the list of charges Harry could feel Sirius’ hands on his shoulders as he read over Harry’s shoulder.

Harry skimmed over the papers, feeling rather nauseated at seeing in all written down on paper. Some how it made is seem way to real to see it in words. He had no idea about the legal jargon that was listed with each offense but he nodded his acceptance to the explanations and notations that Tonks had made so far.
Norische noticed how pale Harry had gotten. Leaning over to Arthur, Norische asked where the nearest loo was, after brief directions were given Norische turned to Harry. Taking Harry’s hand in his own Norische leaned down and whispered in Harry’s ear. “I really need to use the loo, would you mind coming with me?”
Harry nodded and rose from his seat, handing the papers over to Sirius to look over. “We will be back in a moment.”
Sirius looked at Harry a little worried, but didn’t say anything.
[Is everything ok?] Severus whispered.
Norische opened up his mind to his mates, Severus and Remus. [I need to use the loo, and Harry looks like he could use a breath of fresh air, so we will be right back. Go ahead without us, if you need us for something before we get back just call.]
Severus nodded at that and turned to speak to Amelia and Tonks who were going over some additional paperwork.
Norische rose with Harry’s assistance and followed Arthur’s instructions to the loo. “Are you doing ok luv?” Norische asked as they headed down the hallway to the gents.
“Is that why we are taking this little trip?” Harry huffed; he was so tired of people trying to protect him.
“No I am about to pee myself, it has been hours and I am pregnant you know…even if you can’t see it with the glamour on. I asked simply because I am concerned.”
“Sorry. I guess I am just a little edgy right now.” Harry sighed and followed Norische through the doorway of the gents’ room.
Norische didn’t argue further as he rushed into one of the stalls and quickly took care of business. Harry walked over to the window on the other side of the room and leaned against the window seal. There was actually a nice breeze coming through the open window, even though it was quite chilly being almost February and all.
Harry heard the commode flush and turned as Norische was coming out of the stall. “I am so happy that the twins have been sleeping though all this. If they had been awake I never would have made it out of the Dursley’s house without being forced to use their facilities.” Norische sighed as he came over to stand next to Harry.
Harry moved closer and leaned into the arms that he found so comforting these days. “Thank you.”
“Your welcome, but may I ask what I am being thanked for?” Norische smirked as he closed his arms around Harry.
“For being here with me. For going through all this, for helping me go through it. For today, for tomorrow, for never having to feel alone again, for allowing me to have a family again.” Harry sniffed and he laid his head on Norische’s chest.
“Well then, you are most welcome. Most welcome indeed.” Norische sighed.

Harry skimmed over the papers, feeling rather nauseated at seeing in all written down on paper. Some how it made is seem way to real to see it in words. He had no idea about the legal jargon that was listed with each offense but he nodded his acceptance to the explanations and notations that Tonks had made so far.
Norische noticed how pale Harry had gotten. Leaning over to Arthur, Norische asked where the nearest loo was, after brief directions were given Norische turned to Harry. Taking Harry’s hand in his own Norische leaned down and whispered in Harry’s ear. “I really need to use the loo, would you mind coming with me?”
Harry nodded and rose from his seat, handing the papers over to Sirius to look over. “We will be back in a moment.”
Sirius looked at Harry a little worried, but didn’t say anything.
[Is everything ok?] Severus whispered.
Norische opened up his mind to his mates, Severus and Remus. [I need to use the loo, and Harry looks like he could use a breath of fresh air, so we will be right back. Go ahead without us, if you need us for something before we get back just call.]
Severus nodded at that and turned to speak to Amelia and Tonks who were going over some additional paperwork.
Norische rose with Harry’s assistance and followed Arthur’s instructions to the loo. “Are you doing ok luv?” Norische asked as they headed down the hallway to the gents.
“Is that why we are taking this little trip?” Harry huffed; he was so tired of people trying to protect him.
“No I am about to pee myself, it has been hours and I am pregnant you know…even if you can’t see it with the glamour on. I asked simply because I am concerned.”
“Sorry. I guess I am just a little edgy right now.” Harry sighed and followed Norische through the doorway of the gents’ room.
Norische didn’t argue further as he rushed into one of the stalls and quickly took care of business. Harry walked over to the window on the other side of the room and leaned against the window seal. There was actually a nice breeze coming through the open window, even though it was quite chilly being almost February and all.
Harry heard the commode flush and turned as Norische was coming out of the stall. “I am so happy that the twins have been sleeping though all this. If they had been awake I never would have made it out of the Dursley’s house without being forced to use their facilities.” Norische sighed as he came over to stand next to Harry.
Harry moved closer and leaned into the arms that he found so comforting these days. “Thank you.”
“Your welcome, but may I ask what I am being thanked for?” Norische smirked as he closed his arms around Harry.
“For being here with me. For going through all this, for helping me go through it. For today, for tomorrow, for never having to feel alone again, for allowing me to have a family again.” Harry sniffed and he laid his head on Norische’s chest.
“Well then, you are most welcome. Most welcome indeed.” Norische sighed.
