Remus had no idea where they were going, or who was waiting, but at that moment he didn't care. There was nothing for him to leave behind, he owned very little, and it was safe at Grimmauld. He knew he needed to get his cub out of there, he was and always would be the most precious thing Remus had, and was worth any risk. He didn't care if he was not James and Lily's son, this was his cub, and he needed to protect him. As he looked down at the little boy, he knew even his wolf side agreed with him, which was rare.

He took the bag from Poppy, told all was in it, and assured Filius would free Hedwig. He wondered how Albus would have the other Harry take his place, without things his friends would know he'd have. The map, his broom, and album he was assured were all in the bag.

He watched as the door opened. "No."

Minerva came into the room. She simply handed Remus a package. "Keep him safe."

Remus was shocked. "Why? You have always been one of Albus' most loyal supporters."

Minerva shook her head. "I will not allow this child to be sacrificed. They don't mean for him to survive."

Remus hadn't needed her to tell him, he had guessed. "You know what you risk by helping us."

Minerva shook her head. "I am head of Gryffindor, I always look out for my lions, always. Keep him safe."

Remus activated the portkey, and looked at the woman, truly surprised. He had never thought she made a good head of house, unlike Severus she never seemed to show any great interest in her house, other than honor. He knew she was just using it as an excuse, she had her own reasons to help, but he was relieved she would. Filius and Poppy he was not surprised by, he didn't know how deep they went, but he knew how close they were to Severus, and even Harry. He always thought Filius liked Harry because of Lily, and maybe he still did, Remus had no idea how much the man might know. He looked at the package, putting a quick spell to check for tracing charms on it, before they left. He wanted to trust the woman, but he would take no chances, with his cub.

He knew as he felt the pull, he could likely never return, but that mattered little. This child was not the BWL, he had no place in the war, and he'd make sure he was safe even when he had his eyesight back. Poppy was sure he would, he just needed time to recover, mentally as well.

He sagged to his knees when they arrived, not knowing where. "We're here, hopefully safe."

He had been speaking to a sleeping Harry but someone answered. "You're safe. Here let me have him."

Remus looked up to find Lucius and Narcissa, as well as Andromeda. "We're on the continent?"

Narcissa helped him up when her husband had Harry. "A Black home in France, part of my dower when we married."

Andromeda saw his look. "You knew I was never a member of the order, now you know why."

Remus could have worried, many people thought the couple traitors, but he didn't. He knew Lucius was a spy from day one, and though he had been promised a pardon and got one, he was basically banished. He could go back to the UK, but he was in danger from both sides, the light side not believing he was on their side. He and his wife had moved to the continent, though their son was at school, for now. Andromeda and her husband were there, and he could sense other people there, but his mind was on Harry instead.

Harry was carried up to a bed chamber, and when settled in, Andromeda went to work. Along with the bag of Harry's things, and the package from Minerva, there were a bag of potions from Poppy. Andromeda was a midwife but he had nurse training.

Andromeda motioned when Remus was reluctant to leave him. "He is safe with me I promise. There are questions I am sure you have."

Down in the sitting room the others were waiting for him. It was by no means their entire group of course, and Remus would not know of all of them until later, when needed. There were a number of people, like Poppy and Filius, who Albus was mistaken to believe were loyal to him. Among those waiting were Tonks and Moody, as well to his surprise, Fleur and Bill. He was reminded Bill had some kind of fall out with his family, and had moved to France with his fiancé, leaving the war behind.

Bill had been shocked when he learned this, he had come to France, thinking to leave the war behind. Fleur and he had been drawn into the group though, by her older brother, who was involved. He knew how much the twins cared about the boy, and he would help.

Remus looked around. "I have to know what is going on. Severus promised I would have answers."

Lucius motioned him to take a seat. "And you will."

Remus sunk down. "I am told that is not Harry, and Albus was going to see to an accident. I don't get any of this, who is he?"

The others shared a look, some of them had known for a long time, and others like Bill, only learned recently. They all cared about the child, and had to be careful, but they were reminded Remus would never hurt the child. He had risked a lot, and given up his life, to bring Harry here. If anyone deserved to know the truth as much as the child did, it was the man in front of them.

Remus was not usually the impatient one but he was now. He should have listened to Severus long ago, he and Sirius should have taken Harry before the summer, and fled with him. He had so many should haves, but all he knew was he needed to sort out what was happening here.

Remus was not waiting for them to decide who to tell him. "He is my cub, I don't care whose son he is, I will always love him. I need to know."

Lucius took a deep breath. "Harry as you already know is not a Potter, what you don't know, he is a Malfoy."

Remus shook his head. "He and Draco are the same age, but six weeks apart, they can't be twins. And you were an only child."

Narcissa spoke up. "My husband actually has a younger half-brother, his father's child from a relationship after his mother."

Lucius added. "A half-brother young enough to be my son."

The words sunk in for him finally. "Harry? My Harry is your little brother? But how? Who?"

Lucius explained his dad had fallen in love, and had a child, even well into his sixties. Narcissa had helped raise the little baby, whose other dad died shortly after he was born, until the baby was kidnapped. Abraxas had always believed his son was alive out there, and had made his son swear never to stop looking, until he found him. Abraxas died from the pox, but may have survived, but was heartbroken from the loss of his son and fiancé. Lucius knew he'd have to share his fortune with his brother, but he had loved him, and wanted him back. They realized that the boy up stairs was Harry, kidnapped as some kind of decoy, by Albus. Remus' head was spinning, and he asked who the other parent was.

Andromeda had appeared and smiled. "Never wondered why my cousin was so quick to name him heir?"

Remus shook his head. "Sirius? There is no way. He would never have been involved with a Malfoy, or been able to hide a baby."

Narcissa shook her head. "Regulus. He came to live with us, when he was tortured into the mark, became a spy. He and Abraxas were married."

Lucius went on. "My dad found out Regulus was pregnant, and married him. Regulus was killed as a spy less than two weeks later."

Remus remembered how much Sirius blamed himself for the death of his brother. "He knew he had a nephew?"

Sirius had known about the baby, and the fact he was kidnapped. He had kept looking for them, and there was a chance it was why he went to prison. He had never suspected the Potters, that they would ever use a child as a decoy, even if not aware the baby was his nephew. He had always felt a bond with Harry since prison, he never felt with James' son, why he had believed Severus.

Lucius smiled and handed a photo of the two proud dads and their son when asked Harry's real name. "Domenic Regulus Black-Malfoy."
