Harry blinked a few times before looking around. He liked the new suite he, Draco, and Lux had been given. The walls were a nice cream colour with navy blue print.

His eyes strayed to the blond sleeping next to him. They were bonded now. (Had been for at least a week.) Forever. Harry didn't know why, but it gave him a thrill. He wished he could just stay in bed with his Lashemoushe all day, but he had to go to classes.

Reluctantly he began to dress and laid out a set of clothes for Draco, before turning and walking through a pale yellow door that connected to Lux's room.

"Lux, are you awake yet?" Harry whispered.

"Yes, Daddy," Lux announced, rubbing at her closed eyes.

"Can you get dressed please? Then we can go down to the Great Hall to eat."

"Okay!" Lux chirped. Harry smiled at her before entering is own room again.

Draco was looking in the mirror trying to straighten his tie. The blond grinned when he saw his mate. He finished with his tie and walked over.

"Mmm...Good morning Harry," Draco said sleepily, as he pulled his mate into a hug.

"Morning Draco," Harry replied, burrowing into the hug.

Draco grinned before capturing Harry's lips for a kiss. He pulled away when he heard Lux squeal from the doorway.

"What are you doing?" she asked, cocking her head to the side.

"Um, tongue wrestling?" Harry suggested. Lux wrinkled her nose.

"Oh," the small girl finally said.

"We should really be getting down to breakfast. Come on," Harry relayed, grabbing onto Lux's hand.

Peeves tore down the hallways, Filch following close behind.

"Peeves! I'll get you this time! You good for nothing poltergeist!" Filch roared.

Harry, Draco and Lux watched them speed by but just continued walking.

Peeves ducked into a classroom and barely contained his laughter as he saw Filch run right past. He turned around to wreak havoc on the classroom but stopped when he saw the purple haired Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor.

"Peeves, what did you do this time?" Cora sighed with a hint of amusement.

"Just turned his cat pink, don't see what the miff is about!" Peeves huffed.

"Peeves... you're an idiot," Cora stated. Peeves threw a green blob of something at her which she dodged. Her blue eyes glinted. "It's on now Peeves. MELOFORS!"

Peeves screeched in rage as his head was encased in a pumpkin. Poltergeists' HATED pumpkins.

So the war began, with Peeves using every trick up his sleeve and Cora firing off spells to counter them.

"You forget that I've helped you with planning your horrid pranks. My school time here wasn't wasted," Cora said.

"I had a secret to tell you, but know I don't think I will!" Peeves finally shouted. Cora paused.

"What is this secret?"

"No, mustn't say nothing to horrid girls."

"I'll take that pumpkin off your head," the professor bargained. Peeves floated down and sat on the tabletop.

"I heard that 'ickle Sevvie' has been having his fun with Harrykins dogfather!" Peeves whispered, like it was the most amusing thing in the world. Cora's face drained.

"Get out!" Cora whispered harshly.

"Aw. How come?" Peeves whined through the pumpkin.

"I said GET OUT!" Professor Cayree grabbed a book from the shelve behind her and launched it at the poltergeist that was floating worriedly by her.

The pumpkin encasing popped open and fell away. Peeves floated a little higher to the ceiling but didn't leave.

"I thought I told you to GET. OUT!" Cora shrieked, her eyes filling with tears, throwing another book. Peeves dodged it and fled to the safety of the hallway.

"Students, I would like to make an announcement!" called Dumbledore's joyful voice.

The tables quieted down after a few moments. 'Such great students,' Dumbledore thought as he stood smiling at his students.

"I have an announcement to make. Beginning this year, we will have an annual Yule Ball!" The crowd cheered, the girls' chatter drowning out the boys' groaning. To top it off, Dumbledore suddenly pulled his Deputy to her feet, and kissed her.

He broke it off after a few seconds, leaving McGonagall very dazed and the students in shock. After a moment, however, catcalls and hoots arose, and Dumbledore nodded appreciatively and sat.

Just then the doors opened and there in the doorway stood, Remus and Tonks. Harry looked over and practically bolted to the door to hug the man.

"Remmy!"

The students in the hall watched with Great amusement as Harry scolded the man.

"Harry."

"What?" Harry snapped.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be gone so long," Remus stated wearily.

Harry sighed and led Remus and Tonks to the Pinniped table. Remus halted and gave a low growl when he saw some of the occupants at the table. Harry's brow furrowed.

"Remus, these are my new friends, Pansy, Alexia, Joseph and Blaise, my bonded, Draco Snape, my daughter Lux and my dear cousin Dudley," Harry explained.

While Remus looked at the other dubiously, Tonks plopped down next in between Draco and Lux.

"Wotcher, all!" Tonks chirped, turning her hair bright yellow. No one reacted. So she changed it orange. Still no reaction, not even from the little girl sitting next to her. "What's wrong with you kids?"

Everyone chuckled. Hermione turned to explain.

"Tonks, our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is a Metamorphagus."

"Oh." Tonks pouted. Harry rolled his eyes but stood up.

"Come on, we'll go see her," Harry sighed, grabbing his book bag. Draco followed suit, and grabbed Lux's hand.

The troop of four walked down to the DADA room, talking lightly. Tonks looked at the little girl as if trying to figure something out.

"So Harry, you say this tyke is your daughter?" Tonks asked.

"Mmhmm," Harry confirmed.

"Then why doesn't she look like you?"

"Because her magic interfered with the ritual," Draco stated.

"Her magic...but-"

"Lux, sweetie, it seems a bit dark don't you think?" Harry asked casually.

Lux grinned and grabbed the light from the end of the hall and held it in a ball. Tonks jaw dropped. The finally made it to the DADA room and opened the door, only to find a grief-stricken Cora. Lux gasped and ran over.

"Professor, are you all right?" Harry asked, standing by Cora. Cora wiped the tears from her eyes.

"I'm fine. Just some startling news."

"Oh? What was it?" Draco asked.

"Um... that my... goldfish... died... because it ate... chocolate?"

"Right. Now how about the truth," Harry chided, as Tonks sat next to Cora.

"I found out that Severus and Sirius are together," Cora said in a rush.

Harry and Draco stared at her in horror before laughing hysterically. Lux looked at them uncertainly.

"Okay, good one. Now what is the real news?" Draco asked.

"Um... that was the real news," Cora admitted. Harry looked up at her, before fainting. Draco sighed.

"We'll be at the nurse. Lux, do you want to stay here or come with?"

"Stay here!" Lux shouted. Draco nodded before carrying Harry out the door.

"He'll be fine in a few minutes. Why don't you head down to class?"

Draco nodded to Madame Pomfrey before heading back to class. As promised, Harry awoke a few moments later.

'Why am I here again... Oh that's right, my godfather is fucking my Potions professor,' Harry thought as Poppy bustled over.

"How are you doing dear?" the nurse asked.

"I feel fine, can I go now? I don't want to miss Defense," Harry begged. Poppy drew her wand and cast a few diagnostic spells.

"I suppose..." Poppy admitted. Harry grinned, as he snagged his book bag.

"Thanks!" he called as he exited the Infirmary. The dark haired teen trotted down to DADA, sliding into the seat next to Neville as the bell rang.

Professor Cayree came out with a smile, though her eyes showed hidden sadness. Cora took roll call and then looked around the room in excitement.

"Class, tomorrow we will assess your duelling skills. Here to help me is your former Defense teacher, Remus Lupin and Auror, Nymphadora Tonks." Remus and Tonks stepped forward and gave the class blinding smiles. "I will give you a number from 1 to 3, please remember your number."

The students eagerly awaited their numbers. The purple-haired teacher quickly passed up and down the aisles giving out numbers. When she finished she made her way back up to the front of the class.

"Everyone with the number 1 will be working with Remus, twos with Nymphadora-"

"Don't call me Nymphadora!"

"And threes with me," Cora finished as if Tonks hadn't spoken. The students sniggered. "Next class, Remus will be in the Great Hall, Nymphadora will be in the field near the Quidditch pitch and I will be on the seventh floor. Any questions?" No one raised their hands. "Good! Class dismissed."

The students filed out of the classroom all of them murmuring about the class that would take place the next day. Harry motioned Neville to his side. Draco watched the clumsy Gryffindor as he made his way over.

"What's up Harry?" Neville asked.

"Nothing, I just wanted to show you a shortcut to Gym."

"Oh, alright then."

Draco trailed behind the pair as they talked about random things. He smiled coldly as Neville looked back at him. Said boy gave a small squeak causing Harry to look back. Green eyes assessed Draco before turning back and talking to Neville.

"Okay here it is!" Harry announced.

"Um...Harry, I know you can sometimes be a bit naïve but that's a blank wall."

Draco gave a small growl. How dare that dim wit insult his mate's intelligence!

~Open to Quidditch Pitch~ Harry hissed softly, oblivious to the death glares Neville was receiving.

~As you wish~ the small stone snake stated.

"Ta Da!" Neville turned and looked at the wall, or what should have been a wall.

"How did you do that!"

"It's a secret," Harry teased.

"Ah-ah Harry, secrets secrets are no fun unless you share with everyone!" Neville chimed finishing the joke as they walked through the tunnels.

"Then it wouldn't be a secret, would it Longbottom?" Draco sneered. Neville jumped, and looked at Draco fearfully.

"Draco, leave Nev alone!" Harry scolded. The Veela pouted but complied with his mate's wishes. Harry's brow furrowed. "Holy shit! Where's Lux?"

"Harry, calm down. That's it, breathe. Lux told me she was going to stay with Sirius today, so I took her down to the Quidditch pitch earlier."

"Oh, did she say why?" Harry asked, stepping out of the tunnel and unto the pitch.

"Something about Padfoot and pranks...I don't know, I wasn't really paying attention."

"Daddy!" Lux squealed running across the pitch. She launched herself at Harry who fell back from the force.

"Hey Lux. Having fun?" Harry asked, leaving Neville and Draco alone to 'talk'.

"Yes! I turned Siri's hair blond! Wanna see?" Lux chattered.

"Blond? Let me see." Lux happily pulled her father along to see a grumpy, but blond, Sirius sitting on a bench. "Sirius, what happened?"

"That little imp bleached my hair with concentrated sun!" said his godfather, waving his arms about. Harry grinned.

"The Marauder legacy shall live on!" he crowed, tricking Sirius into a laugh.

"Well, I guess it isn't that bad..."

"Holy crap! Uncle Siri! You're blond!" Draco exclaimed. Sirius groaned and buried his face in his hands.

"It's not that bad Professor Black. I think it suits you," Neville stated timidly.

"Thanks, Neville. Well, what are you guys doing just milling around? Get your uniforms on!" he barked to the class that had converged behind them.

Everyone sprinted to the locker rooms to get dressed. When Harry returned to talk to Sirius he noticed Cato talking with Lux. Harry changed his footing and walked over.

"Hey Cato," Harry said with a smile.

"Oh hey Harry, do you know what happened to Professor Black's hair?" Cato asked with a calculating look.

"Yes," Harry replied.

"Care to tell me?" Cato urged.

"I don't know..."

"Please!" Cato said in fake despair, clutching Harry's shoulders. Harry gave a deep laugh. Harry leaned forward to tell Cato but was pulled away by Draco. Draco draped Harry over one of his shoulders and walked away.

"Draco, what are you doing! Put me down this instant! Oof!" Harry was deposited on a bench.

"What the hell was that?" Draco demanded.

"What the hell was that? What is wrong with you! I was only talking with my friend."

"Yeah, a friend that you allow to put his hands all over you!"

"Draco," Harry whispered his voice cracking slightly. "Do you really think me disloyal to you? Do you really not trust me that much? Am I just a burden to you?" Tears slipped down the teens face of their own accord.

Draco's anger deflated in and instant, and he hugged the crying teen close to him. Draco carded a hand through his mate's unruly hair.

"Oh Harry, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to blow up at you like that. I don't think you're disloyal. You are the most wonderful person I know."

"No I'm not. I'm a murderer! How can you love me!" Harry shouted trying to pull away, but Draco held on tightly.

"But you aren't Harry. You are so pure of heart and soul. Forever untainted your aura will be, because I complete you and you complete me." A small trendil of midnight blue light started to form. "I hold you in my arms now, and I have let you shed tears, so let me fight away all of your fears. You are mine forever more, because you are pure of heart and soul." The small trendil tickled Harry's skin before sinking in.

"Oiseau Aile Reux, 1653, mate of Orion Merle, France."

"Good job mate of mine. Do you believe me now?"

"Yes," Harry sighed, resting his head against Draco's shoulder. The quiet moment was ruined, however, when Sirius ordered them to do push ups.

Sirius debated whether or not to go into the Great Hall to eat. Judging by what had happened this morning, he figured it could possibly be harmful to his well being.

'Sirius walked into the Potions Master's rooms, to find Severus grading papers. It felt wrong to do what he was about to at this moment but, he had to.

"Severus."

"What is it love?" the Potions Master answered back.

"I'm leaving you," Sirius stated bluntly. Severus dropped his quill.

"You're- you're- what?"

"I'm leaving you. I mean it wasn't like I meant to spend the rest... of... my-" Sirius snapped his mouth shut.

"Get out," Severus said tersely.

"Sev..."

"I said get out! I get it! I understand! You are just going to run right back to that werewolf of yours! Leave!"

Sirius just stood there numbly. Severus grew irritated and threw a heavy book at him. Sirius hopped to the side and looked at Severus.

"What was that for?"

Severus didn't deem that question worthy of a response so he chucked another book. Sirius bolted for the door.

Severus sat down at his desk, calmly picked up his quill and resumed grading papers.'

Yes, Sirius would be eating in his rooms today. In fact, maybe he should stop by and ask Remus a question.

Severus trailed behind Sirius at a small distance. He had to know if his accusations were true. Steady onyx eyes watched as Sirius knocked on Lupin's door. The door creaked open slowly.

"Heya Padfoot," Lupin called. "Oh my. What happened to your hair."

"Oh, Lux happened. Little imp. Anyways, I just came by to tell you that I'm free now. To do anything I want. At anytime."

"Severus broke it off?" Lupin asked, confused. 'If he's coming on to me while he's still dating...'

"No, I did. Couldn't have him tying me down when my old pack mate is here."

"You left him?" Lupin asked, eyes wide.

"Yeah. It's no big deal. I mean I knew it wouldn't last, it was just a fling." Severus' heart panged, he was so lost in his own thoughts that he almost missed Lupin's reaction.

"You. Despicable. Miserable. Good for nothing. Excuse of a human being! How could you be so heartless? You're an utter bastard, I hope you know that! Also, I want you to know that you are the most arrogant, son of a bitch I know. Severus is a good person, who deserves better than the likes of you! But for some odd reason he decided to open up to you and you decided to toy with. His. Heart. If you weren't my best friend I'd hex you back to the Dark Ages for hurting him like that," Lupin ground out, eyes flashing gold. With that, Lupin slammed the door shut.

Severus smirked. Damn right. The Potions professor strode back to his classroom.

Sirius ran his fingers through his blond hair. What was he going to do. Snuffles decided to emerge. It was so much simpler as a dog. The emotions he was feeling were dimmed.

Snuffles set out to the Pitch no need to be late to class. Snuffles skidded to a stop. 'LUX!' #You lost the pup!# Snuffles growled and took off, rounding corners quickly and slamming through doors. He finally made it to the Quidditch Pitch and sniffed around. He smelt blood. 'Oh this isn't good.' The black grim jumped down into the trench and nudged the small girl with his nose. He transformed back into Sirius.

"Fuck. Shit, shit, shit!" Sirius picked up the unconscience girl and ran to the infirmary.

"Poppy!" Sirius shouted as he burst through the doors. Madame Pomfrey came from behind a curtain and gave the man a glare. Then she noticed Lux lying limp in his arms.

"Put her on the bed," the nurse ordered, as she walked over to the Floo. "Severus. I need you're help, come over immediately." Poppy stepped back and Severus came in.

"What's wrong?" Severus inquired.

"Lux, she has a concussion, has lost blood and is unconscious."

"How did she get in this state?" Severus asked.

"Well, Sirius brought-"

"BLACK! You imbicle what did you do to my granddaughter!"

"I forgot her...at the Quidditch Pitch," Sirius admitted.

"You idiot!" Severus raged, pushing past Sirius, pulling a Blood Replenishing potion out of his pocket. He carefully administered the potion to the girl who lay upon the bed with her white dress pooling beside her. "Don't you have a class to teach?" Severus snapped.

"I already asked the Headmaster to take over for me," Sirius said.

"Poppy, call Harry and Draco down." Poppy nodded and sent out her Patronus, before she left the room altogether.

"Sev?"

"Black, if you are even thinking of asking me what I think you want to ask me I will kill you."

"Come on Sev, please! Please take me back! I'm sorry! I realize how great you are! That I foolishly tossed away a great gift!" Sirius pleaded.

"No. You have completely lost my trust. I will NEVER take you back."

"Muy bien! Hoy vamos a tener una prueba," Slughorn announced joyfully.

The students groaned. Just then a Patronus walked up to the front of the class and whispered in Slughorn's ear, before disappearing.

"Mr. Potter, Mr. Snape. You are needed in the infirmary." Both boys nodded before taking off.

"What do you think is wrong?" Harry asked.

"I think it's Lux," Draco huffed.

"Fuck!" Harry put on some extra speed and arrived at the Infirmary quicker.

Harry and Draco burst through the doors. Sirius, who had his hair back to it's normal colour, ran over.

"Harry, I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry," he gushed.

"Where is she?" Harry shouted. Poppy motioned them over to the bed. Harry immediately ran over. Draco however hung back.

"What happened?" the Veela growled. The blond had felt the small ice prick but since it wasn't a big one he let it go as mischief making.

"I forgot her in the stands of the Quidditch Pitch, and Poppy theorizes that she was trying to get down using light, but that a cloud or something cast a shadow, causing her to fall into the trench and hit her head," Sirius squeaked. Draco's black wings erupted from his back. Sirius winced as a hand clamped on his throat like an iron collar.

"I trusted you with her. And you left her alone!" Draco shouted, grey seeping into the whites of his eye. The Veela shook his head, he had to stay focused. Draco lifted Sirius off the ground and threw him across the room into a bookshelf. "YOU LET HER GET HURT! YOU SON OF A BITCH!"

Harry came running over and placed a hand on one of Draco's wings. The Veela stopped and turned to his mate.

"Harry, please, he hurt Lux."

"Calm down Draco, he'll get what's coming to him. That's it, calm. Deep breaths. Why don't you go talk to Lux, she's woken up." Draco nodded and ran over to his daughter. "As for you! What the hell? I don't think I can ever trust you again."

"Harry, I'm sorry!"

"You're sorry? You're sorry! Oh that makes everything alright, because you're sorry."

"Hey, I accepted your apology for getting me killed!" Sirius shouted. The Infirmary went deathly quiet. Tears filled Harry's emerald eyes.

"You. Despicable. Miserable. Good for nothing. Excuse of a human being! How could you be so heartless! You're an utter bastard, I hope you know that! Also, I want you to know that you are the most arrogant, son of a bitch I know. Harry is a good person, who deserves better than the likes of you! But for some odd reason he loves you! And you decide to blame him for. Your. Death! You're lucky I don't hex you back to the Dark Ages for hurting him like that," Severus shouted, purposely using the same words Remus had, relishing the fact that Sirius looked utterly heart broken. Suddenly Harry was hugging him. The teen then turned around, rage making his eyes flash with lightning.

"Listen here, and listen good. You stay away from me and my family. And you best not try to apologise because nothing you do or say will change my mind," Harry roared. "Fateor Adflicto Affligo!" The books around Sirius sprang to life and started to pelt the man. Harry tuned on heel and walked over to see Lux.

A/N Thank you all for you patience! Hoped you liked it! There are two lines from songs, can you guess what they are?
