Ok yup this goes through a major time skip, I'm tempted to make another story of cuts since I couldn't think of what to write for the whole 6 years. Tell me what you think of that.
Disclaimer: I dont own Harry Potter.

Little Red
Chapter 10

The 6 month/years were fantastic for the group, they would train from morning to afternoon, everyone trained hard, learning everything they could, even Alice was taught a few spells here and there, but she mainly learnt about the wizarding world in general, whenever her family was too busy to play she'd play with Hades, Nook, Chihiro, Morgana, and Serenity.
In that time frame Harry and Sirius became very close to their respected lovers, so while it the few years of spring they bonded, a wizard official came and did the ceremony and was put in a unbreakable vow so he couldn't reveal their location or who they actually were.

The Malfoy's still had the statue of the group and it became a very important thing to Narcissa as she put in her private parlor since Lucius and the Dark Lord were annoyed with it and the statues constant teasing, herself and Severus watched the changes everyone made in appearance, her little dragon's hair became long and was constantly tied up, Harry's and Sirius' hair also grew out in length and was always braided, she was so overcome with joy and sadness as the marble version of her son told her they were getting bonded, she demanded photos and he promised her once the war was over she could visit them all she'd like and look at all the photos they took and even their memories that would be in a pensieve. Severus was shocked at the teen he used to compare as a carbon copy of his father, when he chatted with the boy he reminded him so much like Lilly not exactly by his looks, but more in his personality and his kindness.

He sat in the room with Narcissa since summer holidays had started, the statues woke up and Harry smiled sweetly at the two, "we're finally out of the time dome, man that was a good 6 years, how was Hogwarts this time Severus,"

"Full of dunderheads, I'm glad only the dedicated ones will be in my 7th year class next year, that idiot Weasley continued to blow up my cauldrons," Harry and Draco snickered, "well make sure to keep 2 seats labeled the big bad wolf and Rapunzel," Draco commented making the two pause, "are you saying what I think your saying Dragon?" both teens nodded, "I really am starting to miss Britain as bad as that sounds, treacle tart especially," Harry commented making Sirius chuckle,

"You can tell the Dark Lord I'll be coming back for my 7th year, don't tell Dumbles thou, I wanna see his shocked face when the Golden boy glides into the Great Hall,"

"Well you better be good at potions, I don't want any more idiots in my class," Remus laughed, "we tested them for their OWLS that you gave us, all O's, it's amazing what good teachers can do," the werewolf smirked and Alice laughed, "Dragon I want to see my boy before he goes off into school," she gave the teens a pleading look and Harry sighed,

"A friend of mine will come and get you, how about...in a few days, the full moon's tonight so they'll be hunting, we expect trust since we are giving it,"

"Worried we'll betray you Harry? Still paranoid?" the raven smirked,

"No way, I'm suggesting it for your own benefit, one sniff of betrayal and you'll be poisoned, eaten, or ripped to shreds, and that's by the pets, you don't want me to get a hold of you if I think you will betray us,"

"We'd never do that, I just want to see my dragon and see how you've been living and how my son-in-law is and my granddaughter,"

"No love for me Cissy?" Sirius pouted and she smiled, "of course dear cousin, we haven't had a proper talk for ages," the group winced for a second and the two's eyes widened as Harry got another scar, this one went through his lightning bolt scar, which had healed as soon as the souls piece was taken out, and went down that side of his face to his chin, "oh my god, Harry are you ok?!"

"He's ok, idiot wasn't paying attention and scared stag cut him,"

"Is your eye ok?" Harry nodded with a smile, "everything's fine, drank some of Draco's blood and the eye repaired itself,"

"You now look kind of look like Bill," Severus commented making Harry laugh, "oh that'll be something when I go to the Order meetings, I'll make sure to sit next to him and compare scars, and how is Dumbles by the way? Still searching?"

"Of course, I assure him you're fine, but he's getting madder and madder, you need to be careful, he'll do whatever it takes to put you under his thumb again,"

"Of course, he lost his perfect sacrifice, now I'm too strong, I'm a master at Occulemency, I can shake off any version of Imperious and truth serums don't work on me," Draco chuckled and rolled his eyes, "Harry took down the stag, he's going to be using the antlers for something it seems,"

"I caught a rabbit and a duck," Alice said proudly,

"Well done young lady, I hope all those boys aren't ruining you being a proper lady," giving the boys a look, they just grinned sheepishly, "of course not grandmother, papa's raven teaches me how to be graceful and walk straight, the basilisk taught me how to look as fragile as a flower before striking, Serenity taught me how to sing and the sea nymph taught me some manners, and there's also hundreds of books on pureblood etiquette and how to be a lady," Narcissa nodded in approval,

"Well I'm glad you have some teaching you and your fathers and grandfathers teaching you about everything. Now Harry the date?"
"8th, I suggest you both make an excuse as to why you won't be where you're supposed to for 2 days, your granddaughter's birthday is on the 9th," he smirked and the two nodded before the statue froze, that was in three days, they had to be calm, they couldn't let Lucius or the Dark Lord get whiff of this, "I could say I'm visiting my cousin in France," Narcissa commented and Severus nodded, "I'll be needed to grade the dunderheads papers as soon as possible, so I'll be off for a week," they both nodded excited to see the hidden group.

Severus sat with Narcissa in the little villa the Black family owned in France, it was now midnight and they waited patiently, before leaving Harry had warned them that it would be around 12:30am before they would be picked up since the time zones were so different, it made them wonder where exactly where they hiding, Australia? Africa? They had no clue.

They stopped their pondering when a white flash of fire appeared and a Phoenix flew out trilling, "Serenity?" Narcissa asked with a smile and the phoenix bobbed her head with a trill, "well then pretty lady would you care to take us to see my boys?" the phoenix let out a few happy notes before grabbing the two adults shoulders and leaving in a burst of flames. They arrived to the sound of early birds chirping and the light chirping of crickets, the sun was just rising and they looked looked around the house, not wanting to move till someone came and got them, they immediately realized they were somewhere in Asia, Narcissa let out a terrified squeak as a slightly large Cerberus looked at them from his sleeping spot, he let out a sleepy bark that echoed through the house and running was heard, Draco appeared with a large smile and Narcissa pounced on him giving the tall boy a bone crushing hug, "oh you've grown so much since the last time I saw you! I've missed you so much dragon,"

"I've missed you too mother, if I could I would keep you and uncle Sev here," they broke apart and she looked at him with watery eyes, he had grown slightly and looked slightly more feminine then the last time she had saw him, but she could feel the hard muscles from the time they trained under the dome, "now where's everyone else and what is the time?" he chuckled and led them in making sure they took off their shoes, "it's 7:30, Harry's taking a shower and Sirius and Remus are in the kitchen," he led them to the dining room/relax room where Sirius was laying on one of the many floor pillows while Remus sat on the couch with some tea, "ah you're here, we hope you took our instructions to sleep during the day, or at least take a nap before coming here?" Remus asked and they nodded,

"This place is beautiful, where are we?" before the adults could reply a deep voice replied, "you're in Tokyo Japan at the moment," the woman looked towards Harry and squealed hugging him, "why are all my boys so big and hard?" Draco snorted,

"Cause we've been training for 6 years?" he smiled down at her and kissed her forehead before looking at Hades, "wake up Alice please? She needs to meet her grandmother," the Cerberus barked before running down the hall, "it's a nice day today, breakfast outside sound nice?" he asked the two and they nodded, "I would love to see the garden, statue Alice talked about it constantly," they heard a squeal and a red blur attacked the woman's leg, "Grandmother! Sev!" Severus looked down at the girl with a small smile, she looked a lot like Lily at the moment, bright red hair and the same bright green eyes, but the hair color soon faded away to white blonde, but the eyes stayed the same, "you're getting better Alice," Draco praised picking up the birthday girl giving her a kiss on the cheek, a elf popped beside Harry, "Master, breakfast be ready, we mades it extra special,"

"Thank you Hiku, you are dismissed, please make sure the elves have some of the special breakfast as well," he said with a wink and the elf bowed low before leaving, "shall we?" he asked holding both arms out for both women and both replied with a giggle, Narcissa taking his arm while Alice clung to his side, the rest following as they went outside, the weather was cool, but the sun gave a warm glow, the sweet perfumes of different flowers as they walked over the bridge, Chihiro and Haku appeared near the edge, "Happy Birthday Alice, isn't today lovely? The fish and birds are extra happy today,"

"Thanks Chihiro, Haku, mhmm, let's play later yeah?" the two nodded before disappearing in the water, Severus looked at Draco stunned, "yup, a dragon and sea nymph are in our backyard there's also a large basilisk somewhere,"

"Those three will be out later once the snakelings settle down, you know how they are in the morning," Harry replied as they got to the gazebo-like area, wind chimes made the place seem so serene, "I must say when they told me you disappeared I pictured a little hut, not a full blown Japanese mansion," Alice giggled and sat down in a chair next to Harry, platters of pancakes, fruit, cream, French toast, bacon, eggs, crepes, and a few traditional breakfast items sat in front of them, they helped themselves and Narcissa sighed happily taking in everything while she ate, the backyard was beautiful and filled with vibrant colors and smells, a small robbing flitted over and gave a little chirp at Alice nuzzling her cheek, she fed the little robin a chunk of pancake before it flitted away, "Alice what did I say about feeding them before you're done,"

"That I shouldn't," she grinned at her father who sighed and shook his head, "but the robins are so cute, oh I must show grandmother the sanctuary after, please?"

"Once presents are opened and you are dressed then yes, now eat your breakfast your papa is tired,"

"I don't know how you can sleep though all the hissing, they chatter so much, even Yin and Yang sleep with us now,"

"Ear plugs a beautiful thing, too bad I only got a mellowed out version of your powers so I don't have as sensitive hearing," Narcissa giggled at the bickering, "they suite each other don't they?" Narcissa told Severus who nodded, "who knew. So Remus what will you and Sirius be doing once the boys are in Hogwarts?"

"We requested being the DADA teachers for this year and Alice will be with us as well,"

"What about this house?" Narcissa asked and Harry and Draco shared a look, "well, Alice suggested you, Narcissa, stay here, we're quite safe from everyone here, you don't even really need to hide,"

"Mother I think it would be safest if you stay here away from the war, Alice thinks the final battle will be this year and I don't want you getting involved or anywhere near it," Draco said firmly, she looked to Alice who nodded, "well it is such a beautiful place and you'll need someone to look after the place," she smiled and Alice clapped happily and Harry bowed his head slightly, "I'll get someone to get your things then, you can stay in Draco's old room and Severus I can give you a portkey that only works with your magical signature so if you're in trouble you can come here, even if someone unwanted tagged along I'm sure Haku could take care of them" he said with a grin, they heard a chuckle and looked to the entrance where Chihiro was standing with the human form of Haku, "Alice we have a present for you!"

"Good morning Chihiro, Haku, I want to introduce you to Narcissa Malfoy and Severus Snape, they may be here sometimes in the future," Haku bowed at them with a small smile, "it's a pleasure to meet more of Harry's family, Alice loves to talk about the talks you have to the statue version," the two went up to Alice and Haku bowed and kissed her hand while Chihiro hugged her, "we know how special this is to you and since you'll be leaving for a while we made it so you wouldn't forget about us," the sea nymph explained handing her a crown of some sorts made out of gold thread, it was covered in beautiful shells as well as a few of Hauk's shiny scales and both Morgana's and Serenity's feathers and Hedwig's, "I was wondering where my clip went! This is beautiful you two, thank you," she hugged them and Haku gave her his gift, it was a scalloped shell pocket mirror, "I couldn't make it unbreakable, but I'm sure your father can, if you miss us or need to talk, we can talk through this, my pearl has a direct connection to it, we'll talk more and play once you're guests have had enough of you," he chuckled and bowed before leaving with a chirpy Chihiro, Alice looked at the mirror wide eyed, crushed peals made the outside glow while inside had the small mirror, the bottom half having a pillow of silk and in the middle a turtle shell that looked like it was from a baby sea turtle. Harry smiled at his daughter, the breakfast was vanished away and they sat in the cool breeze before going onto the gifts, Severus gave her a book on how to collect potions ingredients that had his own notes written into it, she immediately wanted to read it, but the other gifts were begging to be unwrapped, Narcissa gave her a pendant with protection spells on it, it had the Malfoy crest engraved in the gold while emeralds and diamonds surrounded it, Draco had promised her a shopping trip both in Tokyo and London, Harry gave her a steel collar that matched his own, but instead of it being engraved 'The Big Bad Wolf (Corvus)' it was 'Little Red Riding Hood (Altaire)' she giggled and clipped it on feeling the familiar hum of her papas magic, Remus smiled at her and handed her a quarts in the shape of a egg, it was warm and she could feel the hum of magic, she looked at him expecting an answer, "they're popular in Australia, it's a soul quarts, I know you'll be taking Nook with you, but this will hatch into a quarts dragon, the man said it wouldn't be too long till it hatched, they quickly bond with the person who holds the egg, I thought it was cool," he shrugged and she giggled running her fingers down the smooth egg, Sirius grinned at her, "well since I'm not too good with presents I had to ask one of the locals, they mentioned something about summer kimonos," he grinned at the green eyes went wide, "so I bought one that I thought would look good on you, it's in your room," she bounced and grinned , "thank you for all the presents, they're lovely even thou I know a lot of you have no experience with what to get a little girl, I loved the presents," she smiled before getting up running a hand through her silky blonde hair, "I'm going to try on the kimono," she rushed off holding all her gifts.

"I think Draco may be a bit too excited for the shopping trip," Severus commented as he noticed the excited smile on his lips, "shush, I always wanted a little sister and now I've basically got one,"

"Just wait till she gets into her teenage years, I remember hearing about Cissy's and Bella's,"

"I wasn't that bad," the woman sniffed and Harry just chuckled and shrugged, "she's a smart girl, I'll have faith in her and I know she'll still want to go on our hunts, if we could we'd show you Narcissa, but I think it'd be a bit too dangerous without being an animal, as you can see, one false move and you can lose your eye," he chuckled running the tips of his fingers against the thick scar, she tutted him and ran her own fingers against it to prove it was real, "what made you do distracted in the first place?"

"He heard me let out a yelp thinking I got hurt in the fray, I had tripped on a protruding root while getting away from the spooked buck,"

"You were running dragon, why? When I heard the statue talk about your hunts you were always in on it," Draco groaned and ran a hand through his hair, "I am a fox, slightly bigger then a regular fox, but I'm still pretty light unlike Harry the huge dire wolf or Remus an actual werewolf, I participate in hunts, but when it's a huge thundering stag with sharp antlers that was giving those two trouble I knew I had to get out of the road," she nodded and Harry smiled, "good thing you did to, if you'd have stayed I would of yelled at you,"

"Yeah I got that when it came to the bear and when I found a really grouchy lone wolf,"

"Oh yeah I remember him, I gave the fur to Molly,"

"that bear rug is still in my parlor by the way, it's so nice,"

"Oh that reminds me, I made you gifts, don't worry Sev it's no statues of you as a woman," he chuckled getting up and walking to the house, "Draco I think a walk in this exquisite garden is in order?" the blonde nodded offering his arm, "of course mother, Harry didn't spend hours working on this for nothing," the looked at the beautiful garden with wide blue eyes, "he did this by himself?"

"Kind of, he had help from Alice and the elves, but he loves making them grow, that small garden area in-between the house is just for me and him so it's filled with potion ingredients as well as special roses and liliums, they got off the small balcony and walked through the garden, all of them bare footed in the soft green grass, Chihiro waved from her sunning spot while Haku was asleep half in the water they made their way through rows of roses, lilies, tulips, cosmos, lilliums, and dozens of other flowers, Narcissa was lit up with childish joy as they watched a few humming birds drink from the flowers, "I hope you haven't gone to sanctuary without us," Alice said, Narcissa gushed at how beautiful she was as she wore a sapphire blue kimono, black, light pink, light blue, and red flowers decorated the fabric, silver phoenixes decorated the sleeves and the tie was silver, light gold flowers covering it with a black raven on the back, her hair had been put up in wavy white blonde locks a pair of black chopsticks in her hair while the tiara Chihiro gave her rested on her head, Draco thought she looked like a sweet little princess and fished out his camera taking a few photos, Harry threw a few charms so no dirt would get on the clothes and they went to the sanctuary.

Alice was in front with Narcissa pointing at the different birds, Draco was at it with his camera taking pictures as robins and long tailed tits landed on her fingers as she showed them to his mother, "now what's this raven's name?" Severus asked Harry as the large black raven swooped down to land on her master's shoulder, "this is Morgana, Morgana this is Severus Snape," she cawed a hello before trying to fix Harry's hair, "she came to me after I ran off, she was friends with Hedwig and when her friend died she took over, she's a mother hen as well," the raven hit him with the side of her beak before going back to try and fix his hair, "you can understand her?"

"You get used to the body language of birds, I knew they were friends cause she'd come and pay me a visit at my relatives always bringing apples or something with Hedwig. Now Alice, she can understand birds, Serenity teaches her songs and other birds do so as well, I'm pretty sure she'll have the air element once she gets older," he chuckled as a baby quail ran onto his foot, a white blue peacock chasing it, "hey no picking on them, just because you're bigger doesn't mean anything," he picked up the tiny quail as the peacock strutted out into the gardens, Severus looked at the tiny bird who peeped and chirped nuzzling the warm fingers, "the birds seem to like you Harry," he hummed,

"That happens when you're an elemental, animals and creatures usually crave to be close usually because they can provide protection," he smiled at the potion master before putting down the quail who rushed to its mother there was a screech and a small merlin hawk landed on Severus' shoulder, he looked at the bird who looked back as they had a staring competition, "Potter why is this bird staring at me?"

"Because he likes you," the man frowned not giving up the competition, "well no other birds seem to find me as a good perch," Harry snorted and nudged the hawks foot so it went to his arm, "that's because you smell of potions, this is a merlin hawk, said to be the breed merlin himself used as familiars and messagers, they're quite intelligent and once trained can help with potions, that's why he likes you," he let the hawk fly up to the top perch next to a falcon. They stayed in the sanctuary for a few long minutes before heading back outside, he let Alice change into more comfortable clothes so she could play with Haku and Chihiro for a while the 'adults chatted and sipped tea and ate snacks, Harry had called Dobby to get all of Narcissa's things without being seen which was done perfectly and the woman was moved into Draco's old room, Harry heard a familiar hiss and smiled, "ah hello beautiful, glad you grace us with presence," he chuckled as the basilisk sat in his lap, she was now around 5 feet long and you could clearly tell she was a basilisk from the spikes, Severus going slightly pale at the snake, "don't worry Sev, she doesn't petrify or kill unless necessary," he listening to her hiss giving the snake a answering hiss, "she had to get away from the snakelings, noisy little things," he pet and scratched the snake, "you remind me of the dark lord when it comes to snakes," Harry shrugged, "he loves to talk to his snake and basically gets her second opinion on everything right?" he nodded and he smiled, "well when you know the language they become quite nice partners they can usually tell when someone is lying so they become great confidants since it's rare for people to know the language and they're usually quite loyal and cute,"

"Some are also good for potion ingredients," Severus said and Aurora hissed at him wrapping herself around her master's shoulders, "will you be bringing her to Hogwarts?"

"I'm tempted to, by then the snakelings will be fine to be by themselves, but I will put them in a large tank to one doesn't accidentally scare Narcissa, snakes are difficult when you can't talk to them, I think I may bring yin and yang as well, they need a vacation," Aurora hissed a chuckle and nuzzled his face, it was clear how much the basilisk liked her master, "So what will Alice be bringing? I hope it isn't that Cerberus," the man looked wearily at the teenage Cerberus who was sleeping, his cobra tail asleep as well, Harry chuckled, "ah that's right you've never really liked Cerberus' after the Fluffy incident. Don't worry she's taking that quarts dragon egg and Nook, that's it,"

"Nook?" Narcissa asked with curiosity, Draco smiled and picked up something next to him, a fluffy raccoon who was nibbling on a cookie, "this is Nook, a ball of trouble," the raccoon looked at them all before going back to his cookie and Draco put him down, "I didn't even notice him," the woman said astonished and Harry chuckled, "you don't till it's too late and he steals your foot, he pointed to the small black hand that snatched another cookie, he smiled as the yin yang snakes darted to him climbing up his arm, they nuzzled their nest mate before getting comfy, "he's a walking snake man," Sirius snorted scratching Yin's head, "how will you get them into the school?"

"Aurora will be the one seen, but these two I'm turning them into a tattoo for the train, I'll set up a nest box for school for them, people will question but I don't care," he snapped his fingers and Draco chuckled as Morgana flew in landing on his knee since there was no room on his shoulders, "Morgana lovely can you please get me to two wrapped boxes on my bed?" the raven nodded before taking off to his room and coming back with both boxes dropping them in Narcissa and Severus' lap, "thank you lovely," the raven cawed and flew back outside, "what are these for?" she asked opening the box she raised an eyebrow as she pulled out a pair of pure white earrings and a white comb and Severus opened his to find a white knife with a smooth metal handle and a pendant with a white lily, they both looked at the grinning teen, "Draco what is this made out of?"

"Antler bone," he replied easily earning a pout from Harry, "well these are well made and quite beautiful thank you," Severus said running a finger over the knife, "you can sharpen it, I just didn't do it yet since you may not want to use it just yet." They talked a lot and after a light lunch Severus had to leave after performing a unbreakable vow to never reveal this place or give out any of the memories and promising to visit again, it was a peaceful day and Harry went to bed happy, Draco slipped into his arms with a small smile, "you seem happy,"

"Why shouldn't I be? Everyone we think as family is here, well except for Sev," Draco hummed and nuzzled his chest, "thank you by the way, for letting mother stay here,"

"I know how important she is to you Dray, I couldn't deny you this," he kissed the slightly shorter blonde before cuddling up to him, "sleep," he murmured watching the blonde comply letting out a small happy sigh he fell asleep as well, nothing could break this happiness.

So tell me what you think of another story with just one shots of what went on in the 6 years/months as well as what happens in the future and other small gaps.
