Harry Potter and the Well of Forever
Chapter 1: School's out for summer
Harry had been looking forward to getting back to the palace for some much needed rest and relaxation the twins were giving their fathers a hard time at the moment which meant that their mother/father Harry could have some much needed rest.
Cedric who was best with Lizzy had already been puked up on twice this morning and Jamie who just liked to be held was currently ruining Draco's hair which was highly amusing to watch as Draco tried to keep the boy away from it without any success Ron on the other hand was currently working on bottles for the pair.
Their was a knock on the door before Sirius Nate and their fathers stepped into the room Sirius was holding Orion in his arms who was wailing something chronic Harry who was none to pleased to hear the crying sat up looking like he was ready to snap at someone.
"Hello boys how's things today?" Ziyon asked knowing all to well that the two children were terrors to say the least.
"We were doing just fine until you lot came in." Harry mumbled as Sirius plomped Orion in his arms and whom shut up instantly.
"See all he wanted was a cuddle from his godfather." Nate said.
"Yes and my two will likely want to kill him for that and all. So when are we leaving for the palace?" Harry asked.
"That is what we are here to discuss, we can leave when ever you six are ready to go." Ziyon said looking down at his son fondly.
"The phoenix's and Hedwig have gone ahead of us so we might as well go sooner rather than later." Harry said.
"Quite. Well what do you say to us all going this afternoon and being back at the castle by dinner I am sure your grandfather will love to see the most recent additions to his family as well." Ziyon said smiling.
"Sure thing dad, are Lily James and Steve coming to stay this summer?" Harry asked now that they were part of the family proper some spell that his grandfather had cast the night of their return it was to be a summer of celebration at the palace that was for sure.
"Yes they are." Michael his father said.
"Cool." Harry said.
That afternoon with an army to carry the bags and Jamie in his arms Harry stood in the entrance hall looking around thinking of what it will be like for the last year of their schooling he couldn't imagine life without Hogwarts it was like life without sex it just wasn't normal to him.
"Don't think like that Harry this will always be your home." Ziyon said picking up on his son's stressful thoughts something that he had a knack for doing and it drove his son up the wall when he did it.
"Stop reading my thoughts father." Harry snapped.
"I do wish you would stop calling him by that name Ziyon his name is Michael or Mikey." His father put in.
"It's what I wish to be called though I guess that I should just accept that it's my name and its never going to change." Harry said to his father.
"You were born Michael and that is what your subject's know you as it would be best for all if you went by that name." Michael replied.
"For now I wish to be called Harry will you just please respect that, it is all I have ever been called in fifteen years and its not going to change just because my father doesn't like me using his god damn name. Now can we get out of here please before I fry my fathers arse." Harry snapped at people around him.

Later that evening after dinner which most of the Hogwarts staff including the newly alive Severus Snape who was thankful to Harry and his family for what they had done for him if still a little sour about the fact that it had been a Potter who had killed the dark lord Voldemort, Harry was standing in his favorite spot in the palace court yard watching the stars and the moon rise as the sun slowly went down.
"Hello Harry is everything okay?" Elderon asked.
"Hey gramps everything is fine why?" Harry asked.
"Well your mates and your fathers told me that you had a rather spectacular blow out at Michael this evening over your name." Elderon said Harry wrapped his arms around his chest as the breeze picked up but didn't look back at his grandfather.
"All I ever wanted was my parents alive now that I have that I feel like they are trying to smoother me." Harry admitted.
"I thought that may have been the case, you know people like Draco Ron and Cedric who have always had their parents will never know what it is like to have lost them or to have them back through some spell though I am sure that Cedric's parents who will be arriving tomorrow with the Weasley's will tell you that it isn't easy to have their son the one they buried back in their lives again two years after he died. It takes some adjustment Harry I won't lie to you about that you just need to give them a chance and let it all sink in, you have two small children to worry about and if they are like you were when you were a baby then they will be temperamental as long as their birth father is in a bad mood or down." Elderon said.
"They are just like me then." Harry said smiling slightly.
"More than you realize I think." Elderon said and chuckled when Harry looked at him with a scowl. "Your son for instance in the womb protected his sister much like you did with Lizzy when you were in their and he would make you cuddle with your mates when ever he felt like it like you did to Ziyon." He added chuckling with Harry.
"I can imagine I was difficult, I have never been one to make it easy for myself or others." Harry said sighing.
"If your wondering why your sister did not come back to life with the rest of us it's simple Harry, she died through no fault of her own or anyone else for that matter it just wasn't meant to be for her." Ziyon said from the doorway that lead to the royal suite that Harry and his mates presided in.
"I just…." Harry started and stopped his own tears from days passed when he thought that she might come back were finally shed.
"She would be very proud of you like we all are few people could have done what you did to Voldemort knowing what it might cost you." Ziyon said wrapping strong arms around his son drawing him into a hug Elderon left them be it was not often that the two of them were able to have a private moment like this together like father and son should be able to have.
"I would have liked to meet her." Harry said quietly into his fathers shoulder.
"I know." Was the instant reply from his father.
They stayed out their that night till well past midnight airing their differences it was little surprise to Harry that he was so like his father and nothing like Michael though he did get some of his traits from the man his fiery temper being one of them Michael joined them not long after Ziyon sensing his mate was hurting.
Michael hadn't expected to see that his son and his mate sitting on the fountain side talking the way they were but he could tell that they both had been crying and they were both talking animatedly about something he walked over and was even more surprised to have their son stand and hug him.
It had been the first real time that the boy had done anything like that for Michael and he found that the cold hard exterior which was so often on show when he was around was an act to protect his son.
Discovering what had been worrying their son came as a bit of a shock though he understood that their were somethings that their son would always blame himself for even when he was not at fault for it.
When the chimes of midnight came Harry stood slowly and quietly the three of them had brought a chess board out here and played for a while then Michael like he had when Harry was just a baby started to play with the young mans hair it was something that smoothed him when he was a baby and now it had a calming effect as well.
"I should be getting back before the twins kill my mates." Harry said.
"You haven't even seen the present pile yet you will do when you go into your rooms, come one we can walk you back." Michael said standing Harry smiled at them both and let himself be lead back to his rooms.
When they finally came to the door to their rooms he could here two babies crying and four voices trying to calm them down.
"The joys of father hood." Harry said chuckling before walking into the rooms with his fathers. "I leave you three for a few hours and look what I come back to." Harry said laughing at the three of them before picking up his son whos sister had decided that she wanted that as well and started to kick Cedric. "Little miss behave your get your turn." Harry said cooing down at her softly she looked up angrily at him when he put a dumby in her mouth before sucking on it just as angrily.
"How did you do that?" Cedric asked.
"They just wanted to drive you up the wall because they could sense that their father/mother was in a little distress and they thought that you were to blame for that so you bore the brunt of their fustrations." Ziyon supplied.
"Just like Harry did." Michael supplied.
"A terror even as a baby." Ron said walking over to his mate kissing him lightly. "You okay now?" Ron asked softly Harry smiled and with his free hand squeezed Ron's lightly.
"We sorted out our differences." Harry said smiling broadly. "Having said that though I love you both dearly we have the in laws coming tomorrow and these two ratbags need to go down for the night so your have to excuse us." Harry said handing a now sleeping Jamie to Ziyon who walked into the nursery with his sleeping grandson while Harry took Lizzy in his arms the already sleepy child was asleep in moments and Harry left to put her down for the night before placing the baby monitors either side of the sleeping babies turning them on he left with his father.
"Now you have another reason not to annoy me the twins will give you hell if you do." Harry said.
"Aint that the truth." Draco said.
The bed that was in their room was in fact two king size beds put together by magic so they were just the one now and of course they were four poster beds which were the preferred sleeping arrangements the baby monitors were on so they could hear the boys.
Harry slipped into just his boxers before jumping into the middle of the bed while Draco and Cedric climbed in beside him hugging the boy Ron kissed Harry for a few moments before he joined them cuddling close to Cedric who drew into Ron's body and within moments had a protective hand wrapped around his waist.
"You know this four in the bed thing is so much fun when you do it right." Cedric said.
"Well we all get to cuddle." Draco said.
"I think we have it great myself how many other people in this world have three mates to sleep next to and have them offer you that security." Ron said.
"You know I did think that we would get some sensse into him." Harry said chuckling lightly when Ron play punched him on the arm. "I love you all now goodnight." He added with in minutes they could all tell he was asleep and resting Cedric Ron and Draco drew in closer to the boy like they always did and were again asleep in moments.
Hphphphphphp
The next morning Harry woke up in the middle of a four way cuddle sighing contentedly at the situation he was in he rolled over into Cedric's arms who drew him in instantly cuddling him close Draco followed suits in moments and Harry could feel the boy snuggle in to him sighing he could here "my teddy." Causing him to almost chuckle at the pet name he had been given when he was pregnant.
The twins decided that at that moment it would be perfect to start screaming at the top of their lungs causing Ron and Draco to sit bolt upright in the bed, Harry laughed as he and Cedric got up walking into the other room with the two wide awake boys Harry went to run a bath for them while Cedric went to make the twin's bottles and everyone else's breakfast's.
Harry came out a short time later to see that Cedric was cooking while the other two were on the couch holding the babies sucking on their milk bottles, Harry kissed each of them good morning the twins first knowing that he would not be allowed to get away with it any other way if he tried.
"Does someone need a hand?" Harry asked.
"Nope got it all in hand." Cedric Ron and Draco said together.
"Then I am going to jump into my nice warmth bath." Harry said disappearing back into the bedroom for clean clothes.
When all was said and done they were all finished with their morning routine just as their was a knock on the door Harry sighed before opening it Hermione and her parents were standing in the doorway the male of the family did not look at all happy while the mother didn't look all that much happier with something.
"Hermione we weren't expecting you for another couple of weeks yet to what do we owe this unexpected pleasure." Draco said from the door way.
"Our daughter told us that she is married to a servant of your court I would like to know what gave you the right to allow her to marry when she is still under age." Mr. Granger shouted Harry winced when he heard the twins wake up and his own temperament was starting to frey.
The Veela halves of Harry and Draco wished to kill the man on the spot and Hermione knew all to well that they would be far from happy with things.
"Remember Human who your talking to and address me with the respect that I deserve. Secondly I allowed their marriage because they are soul mates and that means that she is of age because technically he is so whether you like it or not you have a son in law." Harry snarled.
"I will not have some two bit weirdo marry my daughter." Mr. Granger snarled.
"Daddy this is not a wise move." Hermione warned even her mother could see the warning signs. "Sorry Harry but when he found out he demanded to meet you and wouldn't take no for an answer he also didn't like that I am two months pregnant." Hermione said Harry smiled at her in understanding and it was a happy smile that she knew he was happy for her and Daniel but was quickly replaced by a scowl.
"You are welcome to stay here Mr. and Mrs. Granger for as long as you wish I am sure Daniel and his family would love to meet you and I know that you will like him, Hermione why don't you take them to Daniel and his family you know where the servants quarters are and would you ask Daniel to come up here please." Harry said to his best friend who nodded.
Twenty minutes later a worried looking Daniel walked into the rooms like he always did to find a somewhat relaxed looking Harry sitting with his son in his arms who was now fast asleep again and enjoying the cuddle he was receiving.
"Daniel thanks for coming, I wanted to discuss your future with you." Harry said.
"Have I done something to displease you." Daniel sounded absolutely petrified.
"What? No you haven't Daniel you remember what I told you last year about not wanting my best friend and her mate to be my servants, well I would like to set you free of that obligation give you your freedom and then if you so wish to stay here then I will be happy to pay you a proper wage and give you better rooms." Harry said.
"I would like that very much." Daniel said.
Harry called his fathers in who looked happy this morning both men were beaming about something he didn't ask what at the moment.
"I'd like to let Daniel and Hermione free from their servant duties allowing Daniel and Hermione to choose their own path would anyone in the court have any objection to that?" Harry asked.
"None at all but they will need help to get themselves set up we have a few cottages on the estate that would be suited to their needs." Michael said.
"That sounds great." Harry said.
"Well then Daniel lets go sort you and your lovely brides new home out shall we and make sure that your set, my son thinks very highly of you and Hermione so we will have no arguments from either of you this will be a wedding present from the family." Michael said to the boy who looked back at Harry who gave him a thumbs up and got a smile back for his effort.
"Dad make sure they have a substantial amount of money put in Hermione' s Gringott's account say twenty million I would like to make sure that they are set for life no matter whether they decide to work here in the castle or not." Harry said.
"I will make sure that it is done, the reason we dropped by as well is to let you know that the Weasley's and the Diggory's are here and coming your way." Ziyon said before he walked out of the room with a spring in his step.
"Guys your parents are here so lets get these two ready for them." Harry said.
Ron and Cedric ran out of the room with the twins to get the pair ready just as their was a knock on the door Harry walked over opening it he smiled at the redheads and the Diggorys before letting them into their rooms.
"Hey mums dads its good to see you." Harry and Draco said together.
Harry spotted Narcissa and Lucius as well and after hugging the Diggorys and Weasley's he walked over to them and hugged them both.
"Your looking well Harry I hope all is well with the twins?" Lucius said handing him two presents Harry called Draco Ron and Cedric over before tearing the wrapping apart and gasping at the beautiful robes that had been hand made for the twins.
"Their incredible thank you." Harry whispered in shock.
"We had to wait a bit longer for them which is why you didn't get them with the rest of the presents." Narcissa explained.
"We haven't even started on them yet but thank you both they are incredible." Cedric said taking Jamie into the other room while Ron did likewise.
They all sat down the Diggory's were ecstatic to finally meet their sons mates and that he had four of them made them both extremely happy Harry spent the morning talking to the Weasley's and the Diggory's who were planning to stay for an extended period of time while Draco's parents were due to leave in a few days for a business trip that they had been putting of for some time.
"Well you have two amazing children their." Amos said to Harry.
"They are toe rags when they want to be I can assure you of that especially when I am not to happy with something." Harry explained.
"It's so nice to know that our line will go on." Mary said to them.
Their was a knock on the door and the Potter's came into the room he smiled at Steve who smiled back.
"This is one of the godfathers Steve my inseperable twin when we were babies." Harry said introducing his brother.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, I must say that your fathers told us that you had a big family but I didn't think it would be as big as this." Amos said.
"This is just the in laws we are much bigger than this." Cedric said taking Harry's free hand.
