The Five

Chapter 1
The Dark Lord was happy with the way things were going. He was currently sitting at a long table surrounded by friends. Yes that is what they are. Many thought that Voldemort was evil and cruel. Many saw what they were led to believe by rumors and greed. Voldemort hated the war, hated that families were being torn apart all because of blood. He knew that magic will judge those worthy of magic, who was he to argue who magic saw worthy. He did have a deep mistrust of muggles but he didn't hate them.
He wants all muggleborns taken from muggles that feared their children and placed with a proper wizard family. Many would adopt in a heartbeat, I mean with blood adoption the child would be of their blood. He wanted less strict laws on dark creatures. Wizards could control magic, bend it to their will, but magical creatures dark or otherwise are made up of magic. He wanted where the Ministry actually had to do something for it people not just announce the beginning of professional Quidditch games. Even after the public saw what a meddling old wanted them to see, even after Dumbledore graced him with the name Voldemort to strike fear into the public.
His true friends called him Marvolo. He didn't like the name Tom. Not because his father was muggle but because the man was scum. Marvolo returned his attention to the table. His friends had smiles on their faces as they talked about the Malfoy's triplets and the Lestrange twins. They all were powerful and greatly loved by all. "Come Lucius. Tell us the names that you have chosen for my godchildren?" Marvolo asked as a smile graced his lips.
"We have named the first born Daemon Abraxas Malfoy. The second born we named Elladora Bellatrix Malfoy. And the runt of the little we named Draco Lucius Malfoy" Lucius smiled a brilliant smile that left no doubt that he loved his children "We have also named Severus as the other Godparent. We hope that you do not mind Marvolo."
"That is probably for the best. That why we will always have a trusted member when the children go to Hogwarts." stated Marvolo "Next question. What do they look like come on details man?"
Lucius chuckled before he replied "They all have the blond hair of the Malfoy's, the only way to tell them apart are their eyes. Daemon's eyes emerald green like the killing curse. Elladora's eyes are hazel with green and grey specks. Draco's eyes are grey almost silver. They are a handful, but a wonderful handful. Now enough about mine children I want to hear about Rodolphus's twins."
Rodolphus smiled, every one remembered the turmoil that the young man had been in when they thought that he and his wife could not have children. It had been a welcome surprise to learn that a miracle had graced them not once but twice "I named my son Orion Cygnus Lestrange. Bella named our daughter Devon Narcissa Lestrange. They both have their midnight black hair and the Black's blue eyes" everyone smiled at each other "You will still be the children's godfather as well right Marvolo?" Marvolo only smiled and nodded
"How are the beautiful mothers doing?" Marvolo asked. He was secretly pleased. He may have had only one relative in the world that didn't want him but he had many friends that he would consider family
"Bella is doing well and is happy that the children will be going to Hogwarts when their cousins will. She and Narcissa are planning play dates. They don't know what they are asking for. I mean three Malfoy's and two Lestranges and all of Black blood all running around at once. The mayhem." chuckled Rodolphus
"Will Severus be returning tonight, I wish to have you and Severus to sign the Godfather scrolls for both mine and Rodolphus" stated Lucius as he pulled out three scrolls while Rodolphus pulled out two. Marvolo pulled the scrolls over to him and grabbed a quill and began to sign his name. When he got to the last one he paused as Severus came thru the floo with a pale face. Quickly signing the scroll he pushed then towards their owners and looked at Severus
"Marvolo I have urgent news. I would not have believed any of what I am about to tell you if I had not seen and heard it for myself. You remember Trelawney. Claimed to be a seer but always predicated horrible death that never happened. Will I was in the Leaky Cauldron when in walks Dumbledore" Severus pauses when everyone's eyes widen. The old man must really be losing it to have a meeting at the leaky cauldron. The Entrance to Diagon Alley is there "He and Trelawney went upstairs. I followed close behind. I stopped the door from closing with my wand leaving it slightly open to hear what they had to say. They start talking about a position at Hogwarts when Trelawney begins to zone out. I mean she went all...uh." trying to come up with a word and failing "seery like but she spoke in a strange voice. It said
True Light will shine thru the Darkness
When The Five Are Born Power would be restored
Three of yellow, Two of blue born together thru blood
They Shall Strike Down The Manipulator
Restoring the balance of Magic"
Severus finished the story and took a long drink of water to calm himself. He knew who The Five were. Everyone knew that the Malfoy's had triplets. Twins were rare in the Wizarding World triplets were never even heard of. They also had yellow hair. As for the other two he did not know he had suspicions but he still was not sure. Marvolo broke the silence
"Well we know that the three of yellow are Malfoy's children. Now I ask if any here have two children with blue hair or blue eyes besides the Lestranges" Marvolo looked at them one by one as they nodded their heads no. "Then that leaves the Lestrange twins. I know that you are worried but I would like to set up extra protection for you and your families. No way will I allow my godchildren to be in a war till they are old enough to understand and make their own decisions. Both of your families have blood wards correct" Lucius and Rodolphus nodded. Keep the children at home have a port key created that can go to Malfoy or Lestrange and vice versa so that the children can still play and get to know one another. Severus you should teach them occlumency as soon as they are old enough. They must be protected. Now we can do anything but try to be prepared if the old man tries anything. I suggest that you give the children the old family marks"
The old family marks were basically family tattoos that only revealed themselves to family. They could only be placed on someone by the head of the family so that they could not be forged. There used to be a time that you could not claim an inheritance without a family mark. They usually were simple like the letter of the family and motto. The mark would remain pure nothing could erase it not even a blood adoption. If a blood adoption was done the mark would store the blood for a period a day's then expel the blood leaving the blood line unaffected.
"That is a good idea I will have to run it by Narcissa but after I explain she will probably agree" Lucius said as he and Rodolphus nodding. Rodolphus turn to Severus and asked "Well not to try to change subjects too quickly but Severus I would like to ask if you will be one of the children's godfather?" Lucius glared at Rodolphus "And my children as well" chimed in Lucius.
Severus was shocked "Are you sure. I mean I am a half-blood"
"Has that stopped us from being friends and confidantes before Severus? Your blood will not stop that now. You forget to mention that you are the youngest Potions Master, a great friend and I am sure that they children will love you Severus. So will you be Godfather to Daemon, Elladora, and Draco Malfoy and to Orion and Devon?"
Severus swallowed and tried to control his emotions before he whispered "I would be honored to be Godfather." Lucius grabbed the scrolls and quill and handed them to Severus "Well get to signing before you change your mind" joked Rodolphus
"We should try to have a meeting but bring along the wives so that they will not feel left out and we can discuss this more. For now I am returning home to commence the family. Severus will be able to see because of the blood brother ceremony we did when we were younger" explained Lucius as he got up from his chair. "You should be fine because of your brother Rabastan will be able to see the mark. I would with you as well Marvolo but you blood is so temperamental"
There was something about Marvolo's blood that would not allow it to be tampered with. Marvolo had learned that the hard why when he was a boy a Hogwarts. He and a friend had tried to become blood brothers. Well it had done nothing to the other boy it had made Marvolo really sick "I understand. Severus once you are available I would like you to go to Dumbledore and accept the Potions position. I want you to learn everything. Make it seem like you want to spy on me for him. Let him believe that he has your full allegiance"
Everyone left to be with family or to complete their various missions. Yes everything was good all they had to do was keep one old man away and they would be okay. How wrong they were.
