The Return

Harry was sitting alone by the fire reading a book, waiting for Severus to come back from his meeting with the rest of the teaching staff. He and Poppy had just finished preparing the hospital wing and now he was bored. He was also thinking about the return of his parents. He was so lost in thought he never heard the flames flare up nor the head of Molly Weasley enter the flame. While he no longer talked to Ron or Hermione after he got together with Severus, he still had quite a close relationship with the other Weasleys. So close Arthur and Molly decided to unofficially adopt him and told him to call them mum and dad, and the rest of the Weasley children, minus Percy and Ron, threatened Severus that if he ever hurt their brother (Harry) he would be answering to them. Severus told him sometime later that he was actually a little afraid of them after that. The Weasleys eventually accepted Severus, Remus, and Sirius into their family. So much so that Molly was pestering all of them for grandchildren which was kinda weird for Remus and Sirius as they were only a little younger than Molly and Arthur, but at least they, and Severus, didn’t have to call them mum and dad.

Back in to the present. Molly noticed her youngest son seemed to be lost in thought so she decided to get his attention, with out scaring him, by clearing her throat. It didn’t work; he jumped so high he almost fell out of his chair.

“So sorry Harry dear. I was wondering if you, Severus, Remus, and Sirius would be able to come over for dinner tonight?”

“I am sure that should be no problem they are in a meeting now and won’t be done for a couple of hours.”

“Well why don’t you come now and we can catch up, but make sure you leave a note, we don’t want a repeat of last time.”

Last time Harry left without leaving a note Severus thought he had been taken by some of the deatheaters who had gotten away. There was still about 20 that they knew of who still weren’t in Azkaban.

“Sure, just let me write that note and I will be there.”

With that Molly withdrew her head from the flame and Harry wrote his note. When he was finished he left their quarters and went outside to walk to the apparation point. On his way he noticed James and Lily’s children were out there. He didn’t count himself as one; he was a Weasley after all. He planned to just ignore them and walk on by, but when do things for him ever go as planned.

“Hey” Cody, the oldest called.

“Wait” called Alex

“We just want to talk to you.” Said Mitch, the youngest, as they all caught up to him.

“Well, I don’t have time to talk to you, as I have somewhere to be.”

“What was the big idea hitting our dad like that. He never did anything to you.” Cody said through gritted teeth while the others just nodded their heads.

“Don’t you mean he never did anything for me?” Harry sneered at them.

“It couldn’t have been that bad. The people here worship you growing up with them couldn’t have been that bad at all.” Alex said crossing his arms over his chest.

“Well let me ask you a few questions. What is the longest you have gone with out a meal? Have you ever had to worry that tonight might be the night those who were meant to protect you might just kill you? Did you have a nice big bedroom growing up? Did your parents ever call you worthless or a freak so many times you actually started to believe it? Oh and one more question, have you ever had someone more than four times your size force themselves on you when you were little? If your answers to most of these questions were no then get out of my way and don’t talk to be about my life as you have no idea the hell I have seen.”

With that Harry walked off leaving three very stunned brothers behind. They all prayed he was making all that stuff. No one could live through what he described for more then a year and they knew Harry lived with whoever he did until he turned 17. He just had to be lying … right?

Harry walked into Hogsmede but knew he was too angry to apparate without splinching himself, so he went to the three broomsticks and asked Madam Rosemerta if he could use her floo. Soon he was falling out of the fireplace at the burrow.

“I will never get the hang of that,” he said to a laughing Molly and Arthur who had gotten off work early. They weren’t laughing long as Harry decided he should tell them about the return of the Potters himself. He told them it was important for the whole family to hear and so they managed to round up Ginny, Charlie, Fred and George, and Bill. Three hours later and a lot of yelling later, from all people in the room, Harry finished his tale.

Severus, Remus, and Sirius apparated to the Burrow as saw the strangest thing they had ever seen. Arthur and Bill were cleaning out the shed, Charlie was chopping wood, and Fred, George, and Ginny were degnomeing the garden, while Molly was inside scrubbing some dishes. The thing that was abnormal about this was they were all doing it the muggle way. Then they saw Harry walking over to them.

“I take it you told them?” Asked Sev.

“Yeah, I figured it was best coming from me and not the paper.”

“How did you keep them from going after them, they look ready to kill something.” Asked an astonished Sirius, when the Weasleys had those looks on their faces nothing stopped them, and they were known to do quite a bit of damage.

“Well be better get in there, hopefully we can calm them down.” Said Remus.

“You know we could calm Molly down by lying and saying Harry was pregnant, that would make her day.” Came Sirius’s voice.

“Or we could tell her you were.” Harry shot back. Though he did know it was a possibility he was pregnant as he realized they forgot the conception charms last night, he just had to wait a week to perform the spell that would tell him if he was or not.

“How about we tell her we have decided to start trying for a baby. That will make her day.” Came Severus’s response. He was hoping Harry would pick up on the fact that he wanted to try. He realized he got his message across when Harry kissed him softly and whispered an ok.

With a plan in mind the four went into the house and soon anger was replaced by joy and hope that soon there would be a new addition to the family.
