Sirius P.O.V
I sat in the drawing room of my best friend's manor listening to the latest update from the wireless. All my family were gathered round except from Lily as she had took the children for snacks in the kitchen.
"The epidemic in the muggle world has reached epic proportions. The muggle Prime Minister has shut down all international travel. We have been told it is the same across Europe. We have yet to hear from America." I heard Remus gasp at that news.
"I have just been informed that the magical world has been exposed. All wards around our community have fallen. These creatures have made there way into our world. We urge the public to stay in you're homes and lock down. We wish everyone the best of luck in this apocalypse as it is now known."
Everyone was shocked silent by the end of the report. The illness that swept the nation over night around a month ago was horrifying and being an Auror I don't say that lightly. I saw one infected die just to come back and eat the people around him.
"Well, I didn't see that coming." said my brother, Regulus, as he leaned into his husbands chest. I nodded and tried to avoid watching them, hating that the man I love was not here.
"I'm just worried about my husband." I whispered as my brother gave me a sympathetic look. Remus came and placed a gentle hand on my shoulder.
"We know Pads, I'm worried too." He said and gave my shoulder a squeeze.
"Right enough of this. They will both be fine, don't forget who we are talking about." A seven month pregnant Lily Potter said as she waltzed back into the room with three ten year old boy's following her.
We had decided that it would be safer if we all stuck together, like the family we are. We all moved into Potter Manor, not wanting to move Lily about too much and locked down with blood wards. Currently staying at the Manor was Lucius Malfoy with his son Draco, my cousin Narssia, Lucius' wife and Draco's mother died in child birth. There was my cousin Bellatrix who was cast out after she refused to marry for anything less than love. There was also Reggie and Severus Snape, Reg's husband. Reggie turned from our parent's after noticing how happy Bella and I were. Luckily neither of us where properly disowned, so after our parent's death I took up the spot of Head of House and started to fix our family name.
Also with us was Frank and Alice Longbottom with there boy Neville. Then there was the Potter's, James and Lily and who could forget my high spirited but shy godson Harry? Plus Moony and I. This was our family, unconventional and mis-shaped but family. Only two member's are currently missing.
I looked to Lily with a small smile and a quick nod as Harry came and sat on my lap hiding his head in my chest. I grinned down at him, I could tell he would be a submissive that would need a strong Dom to manage his neediness but right now I was happy to fill the role of protector for him.
"Don't worry Padfoot, they will come home, there just a little lost at the moment." James said.
Daryl P.O.V
I made my way back to camp after losing the trail of the buck I was hunting. I grimaced as I thought of the poor animal. It reminded me of home.
Home. The one place I long to be and the one place I can't seem to get too. As much as I love my job I could kill my boss. 'Go to America' he said 'help with there weapon's case' he said 'take Merle with you'
Now both my brother and I were stuck in America during a fucking zombie apocalypse with no way home. I miss my husband, I miss my godson. My thoughts were cut off by a childish scream. I ran faster and came across people from camp.
There was the Asian kid, Glenn my brain spoke. Shane, the 'leader', Dale the R.V driver and some new guy I had never seen before standing around my lost deer, that was half eating, and a decaying walker body with it's head cut off.
"Mother fucker!" I said while internally wincing at the thought of Lily smacking the back of my head for such language. Not wasting time I kicked the walker body, put an arrow through the head and walked back to camp, shouting on my brother.
"Daryl, can we talk a moment? It's about Merle." Shane spoke.
"Is he dead?" I asked as I spun around to look at him.
"We're not sure." He replied while looking down like it upset him.
"He either is or he ain't." I shouted angrily as the redneck in me started to come forward after two weeks of living in the woods.
"You're brother was being reckless and endangering us all, so I handcuffed him to the roof. He's still there." said the new guy. I looked at him and could see he was honestly sorry about leaving my brother so I calmed myself down a little.
"You say he was endangering ya'll?" New guy nodded "'Kay, I'll be the first to admit that my brother can be hot-headed. Where is he? I need to go get him." I mumbled while crossing my arms over my chest.
"I want to come with you. I shouldn't have left him there. Also there is a bag of guns and ammo I need to retrieve." The dude looked a little lost asking, it made me like him more, I could easily trust him to be honest with me.
"'Kay, 'm Daryl. Be ready to leave in ten minutes."
"Sure thing, I'm Rick Grimes" He held out his hand that I took and shock. I knew the rest of the group where gaping like fish out of water but I paid no attention as I walked into my tent.
As I sat on my bed in the magical tent, that was more like a portable house, I stared at the picture from my wedding day. It was Merle and I with our husbands.
"Don't worry Remus, I'll get him back and we will get home to you both." I kissed my fingers and ran them down Sirius' face.
The ride was silent until I pulled over about ten miles from camp.
"Why we stopping?" Rick asked, I could hear the nerves in his voice.
"'Cause I trust you and I have a faster way to get there. I just didn't want the rest of camp to know yet. Get out." I told him as I climbed out the truck, Rick followed suit.
"'Kay, this will feel weird and I will explain it all later once Merle's safe." I took hold of Rick's arm and appirated us to the roof top, Rick looking around stunned.
"What? h. . how?" He stuttered
"I'll explain later, gather the tool's." I ordered him as I walked over to my brother, who had a saw in his hand, I snatched it away.
"Are you forgetting you're a wizard, brother? Just appirate out of the cuffs, you dolt." I laughed at him. Merle gave me a sheepish smile and did as I said. We heard a noise and turned to see Rick making an expression of a fish.
"H. . . How?" He asked again, I just smiled at him.
"Where's the gun's you were talking about?" I asked instead of answering.
"Tank" He got out. I was gone with a soft pop and back with a bag of gun's and a sheriff's hat. I handed both to Rick as he looked at me expectantly.
"Do you believe in magic?" I asked with a huff.
"You mean like Hocus Pocus or Merlin?" Rick asked
"Like Merlin. Hocus Pocus is just a way for them to justify the witch trials." I told him with a laugh
"We considering the dead is walking, I'd say anything is possible." Rick said with a small smile.
"'Kay, well both Merle and I are wizards. Yes wand waving, descendants of Merlin wizards." I said while smiling at Rick's face as he considered believing me or not.
"You don't believe me?"
"Umm... it's just... No I don't" He replied sheepishly
"Well we are both wearing glamours, a spell to change or hide an appearance." I took out my wand and muttered the counter spell. I felt the magic wash over me as my hair became longer and my features more pronounced.
"How? Is there more of you? Are you really a descendant of Merlin?" Rick asked with excitement clear in his voice.
"We're born with it, yes we live in hidden communities all over the world. The biggest being Britain. There is normally a law against telling non-magical people or Muggles but it's the end of the world so it's no longer in place, all the wards fell. And yea we are decedents of Merlin, our family being the last." I answered his questions, loving hearing the slight accent to my voice again.
"What's a ward?" He asked his head cocked to the side in wonderment
"Ward's are used to hide something from people that aren't keyed into them."
Rick nodded, "Where did the slight British accent come from?"
"Oh, well we went to a magical boarding school in Scotland for seven years before staying to work there. Hence the glamours, we were undercover when we came across the group." I informed him
"Undercover?"
"Yea, we're unspeakable's. There like Muggle C.I.A, we came across to help said C.I.A in a case as we are native to Georgia."
"Okay, that explains why the group doesn't know. Why me?" Rick asked
"Easy, I trust you. You risked you're life to come back for my brother and I could tell you wouldn't freak out. Shane's a bit trigger happy. And we need help, we need to get to Nashville. It's the closest magical community and we have to get home." I knew I was close to begging.
"Home?"
"England, we have family there, can you help us?" Merle asked with a slight plea to his voice
"It's 250 miles north of here but I will back you up. Only we have to tell the group about you as soon as possible, I'll keep Shane in line. Is England safe?"
"I don't think so but if I know our family they put the Manor on lock down with blood wards, nothing can get through them. You help us and we will take anyone willing to come with us. Please we're lost and have to get home." I begged.
"I help you, you help us." Rick stated with his hand held out, I grasped it.
"Deal, now lets get back." With that I popped away with Rick after telling Merle the location of the truck.
