Dray: Thanks for waiting! And here is the new chapter! Enjoy!
Sin walked back into the Infirmary with Theo and kicked Draco out of the Hospital Wing since the blonde smelled funny and was lacking beauty sleep which the blunette made a comment about since the blonde was pretty narcissistic about his looks and was smacked in the arm by his cousin. The couple sat next to Harry while everyone else went off to get some food or whatever.
The younger male Harpy looked up at Theo and asked, "Did Sirius hurt you?"
The brunette held up his healed wrist and answered with a shrug "Nothing too serious." Harry nodded while Theo glanced over at the escaped convict's side, asking, "Has he woken up yet?"
Harry answered with worry in his voice and expression "No, Pomfrey says he should any day now."
Sin just gave the boy a reassuring smile. "He will, and then he'll be able to terrorize the world once more."
The younger Harpy smiled back uncertainly. The three talked for a few moments before Sin felt a shiver run down his spine that was unnoticed by the other two boys. He made an excuse to get something to drink and walked out of the room, feeling the temperature drop steadily as he walked through the halls. He was walking past the entrance when he spotted someone he didn't think he would see so soon. Sin almost fell onto his arse when he saw the person but settled for a yell.
"What the bloody hell are you doing here!?"
Damian Von Hellfire rolled his silver orbs at his middle child before he answered, "Dumbledore informed me of the Damn Mutt's situation. Your mother dragged me here to see him, which I rather not do since his stupidity is rather contagious."
Sin nodded slowly as he searched for his birth giver. "I'm guessing Mum's with Dumbledore."
The older blunette frowned as he added, "And Snape."
The younger Harpy nodded before they walked toward the Hospital Wing where they met up with Hogwarts' Headmaster, Snape, and Gabriel.
As they walked through the wide, long corridors of the school, Sin spotted his mate and ran up to greet him, grinning, "Hey, love."
Theo raised an eyebrow at the Harpy, wondering why he was grinning like an idiot. "Hey. What's with the grin?"
The taller boy kissed him, smiling. "I'm always happy to see you."
Theo shook his head but smiled none of the less at the words of acceptance and love. "So corny."
"Yet so true."
Theo just smiled but stopped when he saw the imposing and threatening figure of Damian Von Hellfire standing next to Snape. He hissed at his boyfriend "What's he doing here?"
Sin just chuckled at the brunette's reaction. "Mum dragged him along since Mum and Black are friends."
The wizard grabbed onto Sin's arm in a firm grip. "You are not leaving me alone with him."
The Harpy just chuckled and agreed before they all went into the Hospital Wing to see how Harry and Black were doing.
Damian frowned as he saw Sirius Black or what he's been referring to him as "The Damn Mutt" all these years ever since the two met in their sixth year of Hogwarts. He wasn't thrilled to see the man awake since they were always at each other's throats due to their clashing personalities where Damian's a cold-hearted bastard and Black being a childish idiot. The male Harpy drawled out "Oh great, the Damn Mutt is awake."
Black groaned, "Stick-Up-His-Arse? Why the hell is he here?"
Theo muttered, "Hopefully not for long."
Damian glared at his son's mate, feeling a dislike for the rude boy and wondered why the Harpies would torment him with people who hated him even though he hasn't done anything to them.
The ex-Slytherin looked over at Snape when the Potions Master commented, "Perhaps he shall have a relapse, take ill, and will die soon."
The two Slytherins shared a look that expressed both their dislike of Black and a silent truce was made between the two. The men disliked each other but not as much as their dislike for Black.
Gabriel looked appalled by the comments his husband and friend made as he exclaimed, "That's horrible, Sev! You too, Damian."
Dumbledore looked and acted oblivious to the insults as he said, "It is good to see you both awake and healthy."
Damian sneered as he muttered, "Speak for yourself."
Snape agreed with the Harpy while he, Damian, and Black were glaring at each other or more like Snape and Damian were glaring at Black while Black glared at them which is quite amazing to do at the same time.
Sin smirked watching the fight between the three men while Gabriel was pouting in frustration and Theo was just confused, not knowing the three men's history with one another.
Black broke the silence but kept glaring at the two Slytherins and yelled, "Why are they here?"
"Good question, Sirius." Dumbledore nodded in thought, like the question was actually important and could save the world. "Damian is here to teach the students how to survive in battle."
Sin noticed the face Theo made at the information and rolled his eyes. He really didn't know why people didn't like his father. It's not like they had to live with him.
"Silvia requested it. I agree with her view that the students should most definitely be given whatever advantage we are capable of providing."
Theo looked at the Headmaster like he was crazy, which is most likely true. "Wait, we have to fight?"
Dumbledore reassured the boy who was known for disliking anything physical "If certain situations arise where the students will be forced into the war by demanding needs, then yes. Hopefully such a time will not come around."
Black finally tore away from his glaring contest and asked, "Wait, what about me? I've been away for awhile, what's going to happen now that I have returned?"
Dumbledore glanced briefly at Harry, knowing how much pain the boy went through when his godfather died and replied, "Of course the Ministry has realized the mistake of your false imprisonment. We will of course have to keep your return quiet for the time being, as Voldemort will surly use this to his advantage and Harry will be in trouble for the dark magic he used."
Black muttered, bitterly "So I'm basically in hiding again? Great."
The Headmaster smiled as he informed the man "For the time being, you will be staying with Remus for now."
Damian rolled his eyes at the idiotic grin the ex-Gryffindor had on his face, making a mental note to keep Pollux away from the Marauder because the Damn Mutt will most likely give his eldest son ideas to create havoc that Damian will need to clean up.
Sin sat with his parents who were give their own private rooms and ate some fresh blueberries from a bowl. Theo had wanted to be alone so the Harpy decided to go talk with his parents. He knew that the brunette was probably wondering about Black, Remus, and their mystery child and decided to let the boy figure it out. Besides, the blunette had to tell his parents about Virgil and he didn't want his father to scare the boy anymore than he did so far.
Gabriel just smiled at Sin, reminding the teen of Virgil since the older boy was constantly smiling which was damn annoying like he knew something Sin didn't. It was true that Virgil knew a lot more than Sin but he doesn't have to smile so bloody much.
"Sin? Are you okay?"
The young Harpy snapped out of his mental rant to see his mother looking at him in concern. "Yeah. I'm fine. Just thinking about stuff."
The blonde nodded but knew his son was hiding something from him. Damian raised an eyebrow at the boy. "What's been going on? And you better tell me the truth."
Sin took a deep breath before answering quickly in one breath "Draco's Harry's mate which is lucky for Little Dragon and for me since I don't have to hear his bitching anymore, Theo and I bonded and it was AMAZING, Harry used a Dark Arts book and brought back the Mutt, the Mutt woke up and said something about a baby, Remus talked to Theo in private about something most likely something to do with the baby or whatever, Castor's the mate of a Harpy, Pol's got a crush on someone, Caden found his mate, and oh, the Harpy is Virgil who is alive and most likely made a deal with Life and Death..."
The young Harpy started coughing since that was a lot out of one breath but he really didn't want them to interrupt him.
Damian looked at his son for a few moments before replying, "Draco better not hurt Harry or I will torture him myself despite him being my nephew, I hope you used protection when you bonded with Theodore, I'm not thrilled that Harry brought back the Damn Mutt but I can understand why he would do such a thing, I believe Remus was pregnant when the Damn Mutt got himself thrown into Azkaban but Gabriel nor I know what he did with the baby, I'm glad that Caden found his mate and that Pollux has found someone he likes even though that boy is known for changing boyfriends like changing clothes, and...Where is Virgil!?"
Gabriel grinned as he clapped his hands together and hugged Damian. "Virgil's alive! Virgil's alive! Oh! I wonder what he looks like now! Is he tall!? Is his hair long!? I've always liked his hair long! It was so cute! Oh! I wonder if I can dress him up in a bunny costume like we used to!"
The blonde continued to talk and ask himself questions while his husband was frowning at the thought of his eldest son bargaining with Life and Death. Sure, the first male Harpy has thought about bargaining with them to get his eldest son back but he knew the outcomes of such a thing when it dealt with the Dark Arts.
Sin smiled nervously at his father who had his eye twitching, which meant that he was extremely pissed off. "...It was all Virgil's idea! He had to play knight in shining armor and save Castor! He's nothing but a prick! I mean...He's great! Awesome! A nice guy! AH! Please don't hurt me!"
Damian's eye stopped twitching and rolled his eyes. "Just take us to him, Sin."
Virgil was sitting with Castor as they talked about their future together or lack of one since Virgil would have to go back to being dead in six months due to his agreement with Life and Death. The blonde held the brunette close to him, wishing that he could just stay alive and be with Castor, having a family, and just living.
"Snow Bunny!"
The teen looked up and was caught in a death grip by his birth giver, almost suffocating him. "M-Mum, I can't breathe..."
Gabriel quickly released the boy and smiled sheepishly. "Sorry."
Virgil smiled back before he was smacked upside the head by his father. "Ow! That hurts, you know!?"
Damian frowned at the teen, clearly angry with the blonde. "Yes, I know."
Gabriel smacked the Harpy in the arm lightly, hugging Virgil who was pouting. "Damian, don't be mean. Virgil just came back from the dead."
Damian shook his head while his mate talked with Virgil and Castor, excitedly about their future. Sin just sat with Damian, watching Luke, who had just ran in, Gabriel, Virgil, and Castor talk, thinking it was pointless for them to talk about anything that would happen after six months since Virgil was just going to be dead by then. Even though the two believe that they don't have anything in common except for looks, Sin and Damian are pretty pessimistic about certain things especially when they knew that someone was just going to leave them later on.
The white-blond Harpy watched his mate sleep after his family had left back to Hogwarts, smiling. He was glad to be with his mate but knew he couldn't tell anyone about the deal he made with Life and Death. Virgil held the brunette in his arms, hoping that he didn't have to meet with Black since he knew Black would try to kill him if the man knew that he and Castor were mates.
It was common knowledge that Damian and Black were somewhat enemies so having one son from each side of the families being together wasn't really accepted. Especially from Black. The first male Harpy knows that no one can choose who they fall in love with especially when they were creatures like Harpies, werewolves, and others where they need a mate who they have for the rest of their lives. Black is a very stubborn person so it would take a lot for the Marauder to accept him and his family besides Gabriel since they were friends already.
The Harpy sighed and decided not to dwell on the future meeting of Castor's parents and just held his mate in his arms. He would just take it one day at a time, enjoying the time he has with Castor. Even if Black hated him, Virgil would continue to love Castor.
Dray: The ending kind of sucks but whatever. Thanks for reading! Please, review!
