HP still isn't mine.
The next morning Harry and Draco were eating the french toast Kreacher had made when an owl arrived. Harry instantly recognized it as Minerva's. He quickly read the letter aloud to Draco. He was going to meet ministry officials at the address of the latest letter recipient in less than an hour. Draco was happy to look after Avielle so he dressed and said goodbye. Arriving in the street outside the house Harry was reminded of his childhood home. It had been just as well kept and immaculate as the house he stood before now. He hope that the child inside was treated nothing like he had been. He knocked twice and was admitted but a shocked looking man who was obviously a muggle. Harry introduced himself as he was led into the dinning room where several ministry workers stood explaining the situation the parents of the child. "Julien has always been special, we knew he wasn't normal but the doctors could never work it out. We're so proud of him!" The dark haired woman said brushing a stray curl from her face. "It's so wonderful!" The man said agreeing with his wife. Harry was so happy to see their reaction he almost cried. "It is quite unfortunate that we have to be here" began the minister for magic "See here this is Harry Potter, the most powerful wizard I know. He defeated the Dark Lord at the age of seventeen! Your son will be in the best hands" the minister continued making Harry slightly uncomfortable. He had always felt uneasy when people talked of his defeat of Voldemort, he had always thought that anyone would do what he did had they been in the same situation. "Mr. Potter, it's such an honor to meet you. We never knew of the wizarding world until this morning - it still hasn't sunken in - but we were told about you and we know you wont let anything happen to Julien" the mother said reaching to shake his hand. "I have to go now but you are in the best hands" the Minister said shaking the hands of both the parents.
Harry made himself busy inspecting every inch of the outside of the house, he wanted to make sure he was well oriented when the gang arrived. He was given a tour of the inside of the house by Julien, who seemed to be a sensible boy. Harry was halfway through explaining the rules of Quidditch when Julien's mother arrived with sandwiches for lunch. The afternoon passed quickly with ministry workers Flooing in and out to swap shifts. Harry took control of the new workers making sure they knew that protecting Julien was more important than gathering information from the gang members. The sun set quickly and soon Julien was being tucked into bed. Harry took first watch wandering outside the house pretending to smoke. After half an hour with nothing to report Harry went inside. There were two ministry workers positioned in Julien's room, they would swap through out the night to ensure they were awake. Harry made himself comfortable sitting on the stairs glad to be jolted awake as pairs ascended the stairs to replace the watchers.
It was very early in the morning when finally something happened, a thud from Julien's room sent Harry running up the stairs wand at the ready. There were five masked men in the room, two had been petrified but two of the others were working hard to get rid of the ministry workers. Harry tried to stun the man who had begun to approach Julien, he was lucky enough to dodge as his spell backfired. "Let's go" their leader called as he apparated away, the two figures fighting ministry workers followed. Julien was wide awake and he sat up in his bed a huge grin on his face "magic is awesome" he said as his parents entered the room to check on him. "Take them to the holding cells at the ministry until we can question them" Harry ordered. The shaken ministry officials followed his instructions leaving him to accept the thanks of Julien's parents. "You have no idea what it means to us. We didn't know of your world until yesterday but we feel so accepted, you've risked your lives to protect us. We're so grateful" The man said shaking Harry's hand vigorously. "I have a baby, I can't imagine what it would be like knowing she was being threatened. I promise to catch the people responsible. I'll have two people posted here 24/7 until we catch them" Harry said knowing the minister of magic had fully agreed to this plan. Julien gave him a high five as he said goodbye and gave them his contact details.
Arriving home Harry was surprised to see their bedroom light on, he took of his jacket and shoes before going to investigate. Draco was in his pajamas with Avielle in the bright red baby carrier on his chest. He turned to see Harry and gave a look that said 'comment and I'll hurt you' but Harry couldn't resist "Latest trend in the wizarding world is it? wearing your baby?" Harry said in a mocking tone. Draco frowned before putting a finger to his lips "Shush, I just got her to sleep. She's become so accustomed to being in this stupid contraption that it's the only way to get her to sleep" Draco whispered. Harry gave Draco a thank you a kiss before he changed into his pajamas. "Do you want me to rescue you?" Harry asked noticing Draco had used a fastening charm instead of the muggle buckles. "Yes please" Draco said. "Promise not to make fun of me? or the carrier?" Harry asked as he pointed his wand at the back buckle. "Fine" Draco sighed as Harry worked on undoing the carrier. Once undone Harry took Avielle out and put her into her bed without waking her. "Show off!" Draco said as he gave Harry a hug. He had been worried that the plan was too simple to be effective. Harry gave Draco a full recount of events as they lay in bed.
Don't forget to review!
