Tom Pov

Two months later we were still looking for a good strategy to fight this war against Dumbledore. Lucius was trying to find a weakness in his plans but nothing was easy to find. The goblins said that only Potter used the vaults but they couldn't tell us how this was possible but as Lucius said 'after all we are all related', so it was possible that Dumbledore was related to Harry.

Lily was very happy helping Hermione with her pregnancy; they bonded really fast and I was happy to see them together reading in the library or talking on the garden. Harry was looking at her mother happily while Draco spoiled him rotten and took care of his love. His pregnancy was not an easy one and Severus was brewing some potions to help him.

-Lily, I can understand what you told us about your marriage but he really loved you or at least he thought so,- Remus said and Lily nodded.

-It was very quick.- She said, -I realized that I was not in love with him some days before the wedding but it was too late to go back. On the wedding night, he was different, cold and slowly he changed until he hated me.-

-Remember that he was cursed,- I said and she nodded. -I know is difficult for you but try to remember that he was not himself when he hurt you.-

-I know, it just that I would love to be able to talk with him,- Lily said.

-What are we doing now?- Severus asked.

-Well, the little ones are resting during their pregnancies and we will find a way to end this,- I said.

-Lily, as his widow, you could open his vault,- Lucius said.

-I would like to go to his manor,- Lily told us. -He always said that we would live there but some days before the wedding, he told me that he bought the cottage for us.-

-It was strange as he always wanted to live there,- Sirius said

-He used to talk about that place all the time. He dreamt about you two living there.- Remus said

-Maybe we could go there,- I said and she nodded.

-The place must have some wards,- Severus said. -We need to take Bill with us and let Hermione and Harry here.-

-They are not going to be happy,- Lily said. -But we don't know what could be there.-

-Yes. Severus call the same persons who went with us the last time.- I said and Severus went to the floo

An hour later we apparated to the Potter manor leaving two angry hormonal ones behind. Draco was trying to calm down Harry while Minerva talked with an angry Hermione who told her husband to find a place to sleep for the next week. Severus grumbled and told her that they were talking about this as soon as we would be back.

The manor was dark and looked haunted. Lucius was able to find the blueprints and we could find the gates easily even if they were covered with a dark plant. Rastaban took care of this telling as that it was a very dangerous one but easily deal with if you knew how. He also said that it would be difficult to have access to it as it was a registered space so it had to be a powerful person who bought it.

When we arrived at the main door, Bill cast several spells and he found different types of wards. A blood one, a fidelity one, and a very dark one. Arthur was able to break the blood one as he was related to the Potter, Sirius opened the fidelity one as he was James's best friend and between Bill and Severus, they were able to break the dark one.

Moody entered first with Remus and they told us to come. The place used to be beautiful but was abandoned and dirty. Lily walked around looking at the portraits until she found the one she was looking for, James.

-Love?- She said and I went to her side. -The portrait is not moving.-

-How? It should be moving as he died.- I said confused.

-Normally it happens like that. When the person dies, it activates with the memories and the personality of the one painted.- Lucius said. -Even when the person is in a coma, it could wake up. It happened with my father.-

-Let me check on it,- Moody said starting to cast several spells. One made the portrait glow and he gasped. -This is not a normal portrait. Is a trap to enclosed a person in an eternal slumber.-

-So he is not dead?- Lily asked

-We don't know. In any case, we need to take this to our manor and check for it.- I said. -If he was cursed this could help us against the old fool.-

-Yes, I want to understand how everything happened,- Sirius said helping Moody to take down the portrait.

-I will feel better if we go now,- I said and they nodded

When we arrived at the manor, we went to my lab and put the portrait on a chair. Severus summoned several books and we sat trying to find an answer to this mystery. Remus told us to let Hermione help as she was very strong in research and she was reading four books at the same time while she copied several notes on a parchment.

-I don't think that we need a spell for this, it has to be something on the portrait.- She said approaching the portrait. She muttered some minutes until she nodded. -I need Harry.-

-Why?- I asked.

-It's a specific ward. How many chances could we have to be near it? With Dumbledore's plans and not knowing the truth.- She said

-Not a lot,- Lily said. -Lucius call him.

Harry entered the room and looked at the portrait narrowing his eyes.

-Why is this here?- He asked angrily.

-We found it at the manor son,- I said and he nodded. -As you can see it's not moving and your sister has an idea.-

-Tell me, Mione,- Harry said softening his eyes

-I think we need to touch it together. I can feel some kind of magical cellophane around it.- Hermione said. -I'm not sure about the consequences of this but be prepared.-

I saw them walking to the chair and I felt proud of their courage. She told Harry to touch the portrait and he nodded. As soon as their hands were on the portrait, it started to glow and they came to our side. The portrait was glowing stronger until we needed to close our eyes when I opened them, a sleepy James Potter was curled on the chair.

Remus and Sirius went to his side and tried to enervate him without success. He was alive but in a magical coma.

-He tried to kill himself so we don't know if he will wake up,- Bill said.

-Mum?- Hermione said looking at him. -Try to touch him.-

-Why?- Lily asked.

-How many chances that you would want to be near him after what happened between you two?- Hermione asked.

-Next to zero because of my temper,- Lily said approaching James.

She touched his cheek slowly and we could see him stirring and opening his eyes. James was confused and looked around until he found Lily and he gasped.

-I'm sorry. I would never hurt you like this.- James said falling to the ground and hugging her legs. -Some days before the wedding Albus came to talk to me telling me that he had a plan to used Tom for his benefit. He said that he was tired of helping everyone and that he had a very strong ally.-

-What happened?- I asked

-Tom? How are you alive?- James Potter asked.

-A very long story,- I said. -Tell us, please-

-He said that I would pay for rejecting his plan and cursed me to hate Lily telling me that she was not my mate after all.- James said.- I would be hurting you but not be able to stop it.-

-We are trying to show what he did and does.- Lily said. -Will you help us?-

-Yes. I want to be able to live my life with the ones I love.- James Potter said. -Pads, Moony?-

-Prongs?- Sirius asked

-I missed you so much,- James said. -While I was asleep, I dreamt about you-

-You need to rest,- Remus said helping him up while Sirius took his hand

-You will be able to speak with him after he had rest,- Sirius said caressing James's face.

-See you later.- They said leaving the room together

We were silent some seconds until we laughed. They were mated. Lily rolled her eyes and I looked at her.

-He used to spend more time them than with me.- She said.

-So the person I used to think was my father is actually dating my godfather and my friend?- Harry asked confused.

-Yes, we will have a lot of babies I think,- Hermione said chuckling

-Well, we will have three from you two,- I said.

-Probably two more from the trio,- Severus said smirking

-Cissa is nagging about a little girl,- Lucius said closing his eyes

-Not me, I'm past that,- I said and I felt a hand on my shoulder

-Love?- Lily said and I shivered

-Yes dear,- I said looking at her.

-You know how much I would love to have a little one?- Lily said and Lucius chuckled while I nodded in defeat.

-Ok, I only want you to be happy,- I told her and she beamed at me. -Now if you want a little one maybe you could try the potion I gave to Hermione.-

-Tom, this potion is not intended for muggleborns,- Severus said

-It will be all right,- I said waving my hand and leading lily to our room.

Her Pov

Two months after we found James, the manor was a mess with so many pregnant witches and wizards. Mum, Cissa, Tonks, me, Molly, Luna and a very surprise Minerva were dealing with morning sickness. On the other hand, Harry, Sirius, and James were dealing with their crazy hormones.

Mum was not talking with dad and he was sleeping in the library for the general amusement when we saw the Dark Lord begins her every day to take him back. Mum took the same potion he gave me for my first time and she was expecting twins again so she was angry. Dad tried every day to be on her good side with different gifts but it was not working.

-Love, I miss you so much,- Dad said and she glared at him

-Severus told you not to give me the potion and you poured it on my drink,- Mum said and dad sighed.

-I just wanted to help,- Dad said and mum sighed.

-The same thing for Hermione and she is pregnant now. You need to learn that potions are not your strong point so let the other do their work.- Mum said.

-Love, I couldn't be near you on your first pregnancy and I was hoping to do it with these, little ones,- Dad said closing her eyes and mum smiled softly at him. -Please just tell me what I need to do to be like we were before.-

-Just hold me,- Mum said and Dad took her into his arms smiling. -Love you too even if you are a prat sometimes.-

-Love you,- Dad said.

-Good, now that this is over we can work again,- Lucius said putting a lot of parchments on the table. -I think we have the key to our success here so everybody will take one and read.-

-We have this whiteboard with the different crimes and we will note here if we find something that could help us in the parchments,- Remus said.

For the next our we read and wrote several things off the board. Severus found some papers showing that five families wanted to adopt Dad and that Dumbledore stopped them. Another paper showed that Remus wanted to take Harry but Dumbledore put a law preventing him to have a job. We found several notes an Arthur file telling how simple and poorly prepared he was to have better jobs. Another parchment showed several visits to Bellatrix during the time that she was in Azkaban. Now as Lucius said, he would need to prepare a case and find a good way to bring him to make a mistake and to take him to trial.

-Good work everybody,- Dad said. -Lucius will start with the legal work while we tried to find a way about this.-

-For the moment we will be at the manor and only some of us will leave to work,- Mum said. -James, Sirius, and Harry as your pregnancies are harder, we moved your rooms on the ground floor so you will not be walking too much.-

-Thank you, the twins are killing me,- Sirius said and we smiled at him. -I always thought that the Black would end with me and here I'm giving two boys to the house.-

-Everything will be ok love,- Remus said caressing his face.

-Wolf, you deserve a drink after handling these two,- Severus said sitting next to me.

-The secret is to have the happy and sated and they are good boys,- Remus said chuckling and James glared at him. -Oh, remember last time you made a scandal?-

-Yes?- James stuttered.

-I think you don't want the same thing?- Remus asked arching his brow.

-No, sorry Remus,- James said blushing and leaving the room.

-You see, you need to teach them,- Remus said leading Sirius to their room while we laughed.
