Disclaimer: I don't own any of this except for the plot and the twins, Lucius Simeon Drake Malfoy and Rosa Leigh and any other characters I decide would help my plot and oh yeah I don't have any money so please don't sue.
"Blah" Spoken out loud 'Blah' Thoughts (Blah) Parsletongue /Blah/ Different Language Blah Mind Speak
AN: There might be other languages in this so I'll put the translations at the end of every chapter. I'll try to be as accurate in my spellings and meanings as I can. There will be new characters introduced as the story continues as I have no actual plan for the story and it is writing itself as I go along. So if there is a break in the story where I don't update it is because the characters aren't cooperating with my schedule. I have decided that the pairing for Hermione will be with Snape but I don't know about a pairing for Ginny yet so keep those suggestions rolling. Any that are good could just end up in the story. With thanks going to the person who suggested them.
Chapter 6 Opening The Package
Harry woke to pounding on the door. He looked around wondering at his surroundings before yesterday came crashing back he was curled up with Lucius still deeply asleep. Lifting up his hand he unlocked the charms Lucius placed on the door the previous night before taking Harry to bed. The door, now unlocked, was pushed open to reveal Draco holding onto his crying siblings.
"They've been crying for over an hour. I can't get them to quiet down. I don't know what is wrong."
Draco looked extremely panicked. He didn't even notice that Harry didn't get up; he simply gathered the sheets around Lucius and himself. Motioning Draco forward he gathered the twins from him and began to sing to them gently.
"Hush now my child,
Just go to sleep.
Hush now my child,
you mustn't weep.
I'm with you my child,
till the end of days.
I'm with you my child,
Please do as I say.
Hush now my child,
just rest your eyes.
Hush now my child,
Let your dreams touch the skies."
Draco watched in amazement as the twins quietly shut their eyes and dozed off. "How do you do that? I've tried singing to them. It has never worked." Draco said asking questions.
Harry just shrugged," I don't know! I've always been able to calm down anything when I sing."
It was then that Draco noticed Harry's state of undress. "Oh... Merlin! Father's going to kill me."
It was Harry's laughter that finally woke Lucius from his deep slumber. "Mmm... Good morning love! When did the children arrive? Lucius asked turning over on his side to face Harry.
Laughing, Harry told Lucius what had happened. Laughing himself Lucius said, Come on, luv! Let the children sleep. We can go play in the shower."
(Downstairs)
"Do you think they're awake yet?" Draco asked turning to Ron.
"I Don't know, but knowing Harry he's probably still asleep." Ron told his mate.
"I hope Harry remembers that we're supposed to meet Sirena, Kallyssa, and Kallyna at the Black Swan for lunch." Was the final reply from Draco.
(15 Minutes Later)
"Luc, have you taken them for their chick-ups yet." Harry asked as they were walking downstairs.
"Why would they need to go for a check-up. We don't get major or any type of disease really, here in the wizarding world." Was Lucius reply.
Harry looked at his fianc and said, "Lucius did you take in the fact that they are not purebloods and that they are susceptible to muggle ailments."
At that Lucius paused, "I'll make an appointment at St. Mungo's Children's Ward for tomorrow morning." As they got to the bottom of the steps they paused looking at all the people gathered around the Breakfast table.
"Well, Lucius I don't believe the manor has ever been this full of Gryffindors." A snarky voice from the corner said.
"Indeed Severus. Now what exactly has brought you this far from your dungeons." Lucius said with a smirk.
"I figured your mate would like to know what the order was planning seeing as they didn't see fit to inform him of what they were doing. Especially since it involves him in some way." Was the reply.
"Aww... Sevvy you do care." Harry said smirking.
Severus sighed as if deeply put upon, "Must you be so blasted irritating!"
"Well if you must know... Yes!" was Harry's reply.
Lucius looked at them both before sighing to himself. "Hush luv or he'll never tell you."
"Well first let me say something I never thought I was going to say, well at least not to a Gryffindor, congratulations on pulling the wool over Dumbledore s eyes. After you left the entire order was up in an uproar. The chaos that ensued was glorious, now if you repeat this I ll deny it but I believe your parents would have been proud. I know they trusted Dumbledore, but I don t think they would have wanted you to follow him blindly. I think the only ones who all but told the others to butt out and that it was none of their business was the elder Weasly boys, the Weasly twins, and Lupin. Anyway they're planning a ceremony in about a week, something that needs the power of the elves. My guess is that once again they are trying to protect Potter by keeping him uninformed. Although I m sure if you asked, Lupin would tell you." Severus finished.
"Why should I talk to someone who hasn t spoken to me since long before the twins were born?" Harry muttered, looking down so he wouldn t see the looks of pity coming from the group gathered around the table.
"I thought you were over that love? It s not like you to hold a grudge on someone for this long." Lucius said pulling his mate closer to him.
"I am it s just that it hurts. He's the closest thing that I have to family, especially after Sirius but he turned away just like everyone else has." Harry said quietly, "Even Hermione has become more distant as our last year comes closer. I just don't want to lose anyone else. Even though I know you re pretty much safe under order protection I m still scared for you and the twins, hell I m even scared for Draco."
Before he could get going any further Lucius interrupted him, "I know you re worried, love. You wouldn t be you if you didn't, just remember that I will never do anything that would keep me from coming home to you or our children."
Right about then Draco cleared his throat, "Father, Harry just reminding you that we're to meet the ladies in less than an hour, at the Black Swan. Ron and I are about to go get dressed. Oh yes and Adam sent word that he would be unable to tutor the twins until Friday. He's going out of town last minute, his daughter is about to give birth. He said he would contact you when he got back from his trip. We ll meet you at the restaurant if there isn't anything more that you need." When he received a negative he held onto Ron and disappeared in a flurry of feathers.
"Well Lucius, Potter I guess I must be going, I ll let you know if I find out anything more." Severus said right before he too disappeared.
Harry was still deep in thought as Lucius led him back upstairs to get not only themselves, but also to the twins ready. Right before they were about to leave Harry remembered the package and letter he had received. "Lucius? Did you find the letter and package that Draco had one of the elves place on your desk here?"
Lucius looked at Harry quizzically before replying, "What letter and package?"
"When my sisters and I got to the Leaky Cauldron yesterday Tom said that it had been waiting for me, I'm guessing the cloaking spell and charm is still in effect. Anyway it was from Sirius lawyers." Harry told him leading the way with both of the twins in his arms as he went into the office that Lucius used at the manor. Looking around on the desk until he finally spotted the post and parcel. Placing Simeon down he grabbed both and handed them to Lucius.
Reading through the letter he sat back and thought a moment before saying, "This seems to be legal, but I ll check into it more when we return, as for the package there are no hexes, we can look through it we return as well as right now we are late."
~~~~~~~ The Black Swan ~~~~~~~
"It's about time Harry you're 15 minutes late." Ron said as Lucius and Harry rushed in with the kids from the floo section of the restaurant.
"Bite me Ron, you should expect this from me by now." Harry told him as he strapped Rosa Leigh down in her seat.
"Now Harry you know I love you but just not that way." Ron replied as he leaned out of the way of Harry's arm as Harry reached over to hit him. "Anyway let s order, I'm starved."
"Love, you're always hungry. Father, did you find the letter I left for yesterday?" Draco asked while looking over the menu.
"Yes son, I glanced at it on our way out. I'm going to get your uncle Lucas to look at when we get back to the manor."
"Is Lucas back from across the pond already? I thought his assignment was for 5 years." Harry asked in between feeding the twins and himself. It had been at least a year since he'd been out in public seeing as they were still looking for Voldemort and the horcruxes. Sirena looking back and forth between her godson and his little family decided to start asking questions, "So what has been going on since I've been gone? The girls and I pretty much just stayed in the muggle community with the exception of their tutors."
"Well how about you tell me what you ve heard about and I ll let you know what really happened and fill you in on the rest." Harry told her.
"Ok let's start with your first year, anything really exciting happen..." Sirena asked trailing off at the looks the people on the other side of the table were giving her.
"You really haven t been in the wizarding communities lately have you!" was the rather sarcastic reply from Harry.
"Like I said it was easier for everyone to forget us if they didn't ever see us. Mostly I'd pick up a copy of the Prophet every now and then." Sirena replyed.
"Well I guess you could call Voldemort possessing one of my teachers exciting. Especially when they tried to kill me at the end of term. In my second year a friend of mine was possessed by the teenage version of Voldemort, he had charmed a journal to have a piece of his soul. He then proceeded to have her release a basilisk loose on the school. My third year was probably the only so far that Voldemort didn t bug me during school, well at least not directly. This was the year that Sirius escaped from Azkaban, because he had seen a newspaper article about my best friend Ron and in it had been Peter Pettigrew. In my fourth year the Tri-wizard tournament came to Hogwarts and my name was entered under a different school and suddenly I was chosen as the fourth champion. That was the year that we had our first casualty for the start of the second war, Cedric Diggory was his name. He died when we were port keyed from the school to the cemetery where Voldemort was waiting. I m scared at who is going to be next. My fifth year I say is one of the worst because that was the year that Sirius died because of my own mistake. My dreams had been horrible and I rushed into something that I shouldn t have, and when the order came to rescue us Sirius died in the process. However by the end of the year Lucius was pregnant with the twins and I no longer had time to dwell on it.. My sixth year wasn t all that bad, I discovered that Sev was actually on our side when he saved Dumbledore from Nott who had been given the task of killing Dumbledore to gain control of the elder wan. He believed he could use this to gain favor from Voldemort. Needless to say, he fail and Nott didn t survive, I now have control of the wand because I disarmed him before a blast from Sev sent him sailing out the Astronomy Tower window. Harry finished off finally looking at the shocked faces of his sisters and godmother.
AN: I know I it s got a different order sort of I have Sirius dying at the beginning of his fifth year instead of the end. This makes it easier because the twins are supposed to be nearing two years old and if Sirius had died at the end it would have put the twins closer to one instead. Also I have Nott being the one to go against Dumbledore because Draco can t do it if he s siding with the light. Anyway it might be a couple more weeks before I get the next chapter out so I hope you enjoy this, it s been a long time coming.
