'What is love? 'Tis not hereafter;
Present mirth hath present laughter;
What's to come is still unsure:
In delay there lies no plenty;
Then come kiss me, sweet-and-twenty:
Youth's a stuff will not endure' –Feste Shakespeare's The Twelfth Night Act II scene iii
"That I want to make love to you-not just once but over and over again! But I'll never tell you that. I'd have to be crazy to tell you. I'd even make love to you now…right here for the rest of my life." –Guido from Life is Beautiful

Chapter 11
Life's Strange Surprises
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hathor Jenkins yawned and turned over in her wonderfully overstuffed bed. Her manuscript was at the copyrighter's today. She approved the new artwork for her book's cover. She didn't have to start her new novel yet. All she was going to do was stay in bed and laze about. Then she was going to head to London tonight to treat herself to a fancy hotel, a nice restaurant and a play in the West End.
And then maybe she can find a cute usher to take back to her hotel room.
Then there was the fact that her favorite wizard kicked total ass at his press conference. Luna sent her the pictures. It was wonderful. She made a mental note to call Ianto and ask him how Jack was feeling. She stretched out and smiled.
Yes it was a wonderful good day and nothing can destroy this.
'Perhaps I was born with curiosity. The likes of those of old crows, the likes of those of old crows…'
Her eyes flew open and she sighed. Maybe she thought too soon. She rolled over to her nightstand and grabbed the cell phone. She checked the caller ID and grimaced.
It was her contact in the Department of Mysteries. When he called her it was never good. She flipped open the phone.
"How bad is it, Eli?"
"Hello to you too, Hathor. I'm fine thanks for asking."
"Cut the cheeky bastard routine and just tell me."
"Remus Lupin and Sirius Black came out of the Veil."
The vampire sat straight up in bed.
"What?"
"Remus Lupin and Sirius Black came out of the Veil about two days ago."
"…Did you tell Ianto?"
"Ummm…well you see....Hathor."
"DAMMIT ELI!" Hathor growled into the phone. Her eyes turned pitch black briefly.
"I'm sorry! Jesus woman! Look I have them with me...sort of. I had to knock them out to keep them quiet. Can you open your floo connection for me?"
"I swear on all that is good and beautiful if this ends up with me getting arrested I'm going to kill you," threatened the undead woman.
"No the Department of Mysteries is keeping this under wraps. This is kind of like a favor to Ianto for killing the bastard."
"Alright. Consider the connection open."
"You ARE the best!"
"Yeah yeah yeah," She hung up and cursed under her breath. Good bye cute usher.
The vampire jumped out of bed and padded to the fireplace whispering her password. No sooner was she done. Green flames shot up from the hearth and two limp forms came tumbling out. The woman looked at the two and sighed.
With a sigh and more mutterings under her breath about how she was getting too old for this shit. She picked up the phone to call Ianto.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Toshiko Sato sighed and rubbed her eyes. She should've seen the truth about Mary. She was smarter than that but…love clouds judgement. It was easy to suppose. Though she understood why Ianto did what he did with Lisa.
"Hey Tosh," a familiar Welsh voice broke through her thoughts. The woman looked up and smiled softly.
"Hi Ianto."
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah…I'll be fine. Ianto…I was wondering."
"Why you couldn't read my thoughts?"
"Yeah."
"Well remember what I told you about Occlumency?"
"Yes…oh! I feel silly forgetting about that."
Ianto laughed and kissed Tosh's hair.
"The fact that you did means a lot to me, Tosh."
A confused look passed over her face.
"Because it means that you just accepted the fact that I'm a wizard."
"Not the weirdest thing I've ever seen."
Ianto grinned and squeezed her hand.
"Tosh, I promise it'll be okay."
A watery smile passed over the woman's face.
"I know, Ianto. Thanks though."
"If you ever need to talk…"
"I know."
"Coffee?"
"Yes please."
Ianto got up and went to make the coffee. His cell phone was left next to Tosh's elbow. The phone lit up and a soft classical piece filled the air. Tosh jumped and looked around. She gulped and picked up the phone.
"Ianto Jones' cell phone."
"Ianto! …Wait you're not Ianto…" a female voice came from the other end.
"This is Tosh Sato."
"Oh! Tosh! Hi this is Hathor! We've met at the Weasley's house. Is Ianto there? I REALLY need to talk to him."
Sensing the slight desperation in the woman's tone, Tosh stood up and ran to where Ianto was.
"Ianto? It's your friend Hathor. It sounds urgent."
The Welshman came over and took the phone.
"Thanks, Tosh."
The woman smiled and went back to her work.
"Hathor? What's wrong?"
"Um…it's not something I can tell you over the phone, Ianto. You need to come over." Hathor bit her lip and looked at the two forms that were dragged and placed on the couch and chair.
"What? Why?"
"Um…well…theVeilkindaspitSiriusandRemusbackup." Hathor mumbled really quickly. Ianto froze a cold feeling settled in his gut.
"What was that?"
"The Veil kinda spit Sirius and Remus backup."
"Are you fuckin' kidding me?!"
"No…they're on my couch. My contact in the Department of Mysteries called me this morning. And he sent them over."
"I'll be right over," he said quietly. He bit his lip and ran downstairs.
"Tosh! I need to go out for a bit!"
"Ianto is anything wrong?"
Ianto turned around and grinned.
"Everything's right! If Jack wonders where I am tell him to call me!!!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hathor jumped as Ianto appeared with a loud CRACK! She sent a glare at him, still in her sleep clothes.
"Fabulous! Now I'm going to get ready for my mini trip to London while you wait for them to wake up."
"You're so kind Hathor."
"I just finished a novel dammit. I want my cute usher or bellhop!"
Ianto snickered as he watched over his two godfathers. He bit his lip and sat back on the couch. He quietly undid his tie and stared. He could hardly believe what he saw before him. All he wanted to do was say that he was sorry for getting them into this. For getting them killed…
Ianto sighed and smiled more. Maybe his luck was really turning around for once. The vibration of his cell phone caught his attention.
"Hello?"
"Ianto! Where are you?"
"Hathor's place! Jack I have the greatest news! Sirius and Remus are alive!"
On the other end of the phone, Jack grinned.
"Really? Yan that's fantastic!"
Jack could hear Ianto's smile from the other side of the phone. His grin stretched out wider as well. The Captain licked his lips.
"I'm sorry I ran out so quickly but…I just had to see it for myself."
"No no I understand completely Ianto. We'll manage for today. You reacquaint yourself with your godfathers."
"…Jack thank you," Ianto whispered under his breath. "I have to go. I'll see you later, Captain."
"Alright Ianto, Bye."
The line went dead and Jack sighed.
"You two haven't said I love you yet huh?"
Jack looked up and met Tosh's eyes.
"Um…no?"
Tosh's grinned widen. She fluttered her eyelashes innocently.
"Why not?"
"Why not have you told Owen your crush on him?" Jack asked back just as innocently. Tosh's face turned an interesting shade of fire truck red.
"We never talk about this again?" Tosh ventured out face still bright red.
"Deal," Jack said with a grin. He licked his lips and cracked his back. Tosh left the office with her face still very very red.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ianto took out his colored contacts and dropped the glamour on his scar.
"Maybe I should just wake them up," he called to Hathor.
"Whatever you want to do darling!" she called back. She walked out. Her hair was pulled up held together with lacquered chopsticks. A duffel bag slung over her shoulders. She walked over and kissed his hair.
"You can let yourself out, Yan."
"Thanks, Hathor. I appreciate it."
"No problem! I can do a bit of shopping in London before I head to my hotel. Ciao!"
Ianto waved and watched her go. He sat back trying to keep his nervousness down to a minimum level. What the hell was he going to tell the two? Remus knew the barest bare bones of the plan that he was now living. Sirius, the last time he saw Ianto, he was fifteen and angry at the world.
Don't get him wrong sometimes the world just sucked ass but it hasn't seemed to do that lately. The wizard chewed his lip and wrung his hands nervously. Oh fuck! Sirius didn't even know that he was bi! Ianto groaned and buried his face in his hands.
A rustle of fabric caught his attention. The young man looked up as the two men began to stir.
"Why the bleeding hell did he have to knock us out Moony?" groaned out Sirius Black. His frame looked a tiny bit healthier.
"Shut up Padfoot. I felt like I just went ten rounds with a giant," Remus Lupin moaned out as he sat up and rubbed his head. His amber eyes opened as a familiar scent invaded his nose. Ianto gulped feeling the cold nervousness settle in his stomach.
"Harry?" Remus whispered looking at the young man in front of him. "Cub? Is that you?"
Sirius sat straight up at hearing his godson's name. "Harry?! Where is he?"
Remus smacked Sirius over the head. "Right in front of you idiot."
"Ow! Moony! Why did you have to do that?"
Ianto snickered and watched the two bicker. Amusement shone in his bright green eyes.
"Well I should just leave you alone then?"
Sirius' head snapped up and stared at him.
"Harry?" he rasped out.
"Hi Padfoot," greeted the young man. A tear trickled down his face. Sirius sat up shakily and went over to the young man.
Godson and godfather stared at each other for a moment before Sirius opening his arms and Ianto running into them. He buried his face into the man's shoulders and breathed in a scent of musk, cologne, a touch of wet dog, and something vaguely sugary. He closed his eyes tight and tears slowly trickled out.
"Dammit Padfoot! I missed you so much."
"I know. I know. I'm so sorry I left you, pup. I am so so incredibly sorry that I left you to deal with everything. It wasn't fair to you or Remus. But most of all it wasn't fair to you."
"Damn right it wasn't."
Sirius smiled gently a memory of Lily in his mind.
"How old are you now, Harry?"
"It's um Ianto now Sirius. I changed my name after the war."
"You had to do your backup plan?" Remus asked before standing up and walking over to the two.
Ianto nodded. Sirius tilted his head. Remus had explained what had happened before he was pushed into the Veil while they were in isolation together.
"Plan?" Sirius asked. Ianto swallowed before nodding.
"After I killed Voldemort, I couldn't deal with the Wizarding World anymore, Sirius. So I hatched a plan during my time in Grimmauld Place with the help of Remus and Hermione. I established a new identity. I went to University. I got a job in the Muggle world. I'm Ianto Jones now, Sirius."
"Are you happy, pup?"
Ianto nodded slowly and a grin spread across his face.
"You have no idea, Sirius."
"Why don't you tell us about it?"
Ianto nodded and sat them down and then he began at what would have been his sixth year.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jack bit his lip and rifled through paperwork. He sighed before burying his head in his hands.
He shouldn't feel like this. This…this wasn't him.
His heart pounding every time Ianto walks into the room?
The mere thought of seeing Ianto hurt or in pain driving him crazy?
Seeing Ianto in front of him flushed and ready for them to make love sending shivers down his spine?
A nervous wreck at the thought of just meeting the two men that acted like fathers to Ianto?
Did he love Ianto?
Jack rubbed the back of his neck nervously and tried to focus on paperwork. But he really wasn't feeling it, the paperwork.
Jack groaned and buried his face into his arms.
"Well well well Captain Jack Harkness! I know exactly what's wrong with you! You're in love!" said a voice that sounded like the Doctor, who seemed rather gleeful at the prospect at Jack in love.
Jack cursed. Great now he was hearing voices.
And also the voice was right.
He was hopelessly, truly in love with Ianto Jones, formerly Harry Potter.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So is it serious? Between you and this Captain guy?" asked Sirius, who looked delighted that his godson found someone after being caught. Also the fact that his dear deardearcousin Bella was dead made for a miniature celebration. (Do you sense the love?)
"Um yeah...Jack's fantastic. But I don't really want to rush into things."
"Understandable," Remus murmured and he had a strangely protective look on his face.
"You two are going to want to meet him, huh?" Ianto asked.
The two recently re-ceased men nodded.
"Alright! Let's get back to my flat. Tomorrow we'll found you two a flat."
The two Marauders nodded as Ianto led them to the fireplace.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
