Remy looked at his husband lying on the ground. He had never been so upset in all of his life. He had never been so scared in his life. His husband and baby were his soul. He needed to. He drew out his wand but was not sure what to do He had never faced someone like Jack. He was not a Death Eater or Dark Lord, he was a teen. Even his husband behind him bleeding was not making it easier. He was not sure how his Dad had done this with Fiona He had never actually killed someone before It was his sister who had thrown the killing curse at Voldemort But he needed to do something and he needed to do it quick.
Jack sneered at him. "My dad told us all about your little animagi form. Seems your more a mangy mutt then you are man's best friend, at lest your husband's."
Remy thought about something. "You're right. I am an animagus. Thank you for reminding me of that."
His dog had always been more natural. It was what he learned first. He had not used his snake form except when he had been escaping the dungeons with the twins. He was not sure this would work. He had never transported anyone who was unconscious before but he knew he had to try. Transforming in a flash of light he flashed to his husband's side landing on his husband's limp form.
Jack pointed his wand at him and Draco the same moment he flashed and sent a stunner at him but Remy and Draco had flashed. "No."
Remy had flashed them but not back to the school. He flashed them to the heart of the centaur village. If anyone could help it was his foster father. Remy remained in phoenix form as the centaurs surrounded them. He had not used the tears since Chloe. He had saved her from the killing curse. He was not sure he could do this again but he focussed all of his love on his husband and the baby. He focussed every bit of magic in his body. He knew there was a chance that he would not survive using that magic but if his husband and the baby survived he did not care if he died. He would go on in Draco and his son. Like the last time he had used them he had no idea how he had summoned the power to do so but he focussed on the innocence of his baby. His baby was a purity of life that was the closest thing to the purity of his core magic. His son's pure light and his bond with his husband was enough.
Remy began singing and the music brought forth a white light even brighter then when he healed his sister. And tears poured down from his form and landed on his husband and the belly where his son was residing. The bleeding stopped and by the time his song had ended Draco was still unconscious but his breathing was better.
Remy transformed and bent down to his husband. "Draco, Draco can you hear me? Come on my love, can you hear me?"
Magorian came forward. "Your baby is fine but your husband is in a coma my son. You have healed his wounds but he will not wake."
Sobbing Remy sunk down his hand against his husband's belly. He knew enough to know Draco did not have to wake. The baby could stay put. But he could not lose his husband. He could not lose the man that he loved. Draco had been his entire life. They had been best friends since they were seventeen months old. He could not survive another loss. He could not even imagine raising his little boy on his own Sirius deserved his Papa and his Daddy.
He looked at Magorian and Bane who were the healers. "There has to be something you can do for him. Please. Father please, I can't lose my soul mate"
Bane bent down and scooped Draco up. "We will do what we can Remy. But there is a chance that no one can help. It may just take time and love to wake him."
He did not want to leave his husband but he knew he had to. He knew he had to find Jack. He had brought Draco here not just because of the centaur healers. He knew the infirmary could have likely helped. But Poppy would not have been enough protection. The centaurs had wards on the woods. They were still up. Remy was an adopted member and he was able to come and go when he needed to. But Jackal could not. He knew that even if Jack had found some way around the boundaries which he doubted for even Voldemort had not, the centaur guards would never allow Jack within a hundred feet of their village. Draco and the baby were safer here then any where else he could think of right now.
He followed Bane into the hut he was taking Draco. He knew he had to leave. He had to end this here and now. But he had to see his husband was taken care of. He had no reason to doubt it. He knew the centaurs would protect Draco. He was an honorary member of their herd and father of Remy's son, Magorian's grandson. But he still needed to see with his own eyes that his husband was taken care of.
Bane turned to him. "We know you have not finished what is needed. I promise I will do what I can for your husband, brother. Go do what you need to do."
Remy bent down and kissed his husband tenderly. "You need to fight for me and our son you hear me. I can not raise him on my own. You need to fight for me."
Bane motioned to the door. "I promise he will be fine when you come back. I will stabilize him more. Like our father said, right now it is a waiting game for you."
Heading out into the fresh air again Remy knew he could do this. He had lost his father and now nearly lost his husband and baby. He knew from when he was in a phoenix form that his husband and son had both been on the brink of death. He could sense their auras. He knew his son would grow and be strong but he needed his husband to come back to him. He would deal with Jack and he would return. Draco helped him back from the brink when Rodolphus had him and his Uncle Reg came back from to the land of the dead to save his life. He swore when Jack was dealt with he would do the same for his husband.
Before he left though Magorian turned to him. "There is some kind of animal trying to come into our woods. I believe it is the attacker of your husband."
Remy nodded and bowed. "Thank you father, for your help to my husband and son. If I can not return, my fathers will come for them."
The centaurs only bowed their heads. They had more faith in Remy then he had in his own skill right now. Remy just knew his husband and baby were safe. Remy had no idea how Jack had known he would come for the woods unless he had already checked the infirmary. All he knew what he needed to end this here and now before Jack was able to hurt anyone else as he had hurt Draco. He had managed to get Draco out of there with embracing his other animagi form, perhaps Remy needed to embrace a few other sides of him.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Jack was enraged when he watched Remy transform and transport his husband. He had only seen a flash of light and the human Remy. He had not realized he was a phoenix. He assumed Remy and his Uncle had come with some kind of portkey. He knew Remy would be taking his husband to the school. He laughed. Draco would be dead before the nurse at the school was able to do anything for him. He was sure he had the start of his revenge but not the end. Remus Sr. was his target. He wanted to destroy everything the wolf cared about and that included his precious son. He was the reason this had all happened. He was the reason both his grandfather and mother were dead as well as his father. His father would not have been here and fallen prey to his desires if he had not had to avenge the wrongs done his wife and father in law because of the filthy little bitten.
The door burst open as he realized his wards that he had put around the shop had come down. He was not surprised to find Remy and Draco's families coming in including Regulus Black. He laughed when he looked at the Black brother who obviously not gone too far when his nephew sent him away. Blacks were fools.
Regulus snarled. "Where are my nephew and his husband? What have you done with them?"
He was about to transform but he decided to give them something to think about. "I made sure Draco would die in his arms as my mum ensured your brother died in yours."
He transformed into his hawk form and took off through the window before any of their stunners could come at him. They had no idea. The political protests. They had all been planned. He and his mother had not been here yet. But they had sent some of their old allies from the continent and some mercenaries. They were behind the attack. It was meant to have been Remy who had his throat slit on those steps but his father had got in the way. But the death of Sirius had just helped. It had helped to open the laws up more to bring more half bloods including him and his mother into the country and make this possible. Sirius had been just the first Black to die but soon enough they would be wiped out or most of them, with the soon to be death of Remy and his unborn son as well.
He headed for the school but when he arrived at the infirmary he found no one. Remy was not a fool. He would not have risked trying to go for a hospital. Then he remembered. He had studied the centaurs. He studied all he could about them when he learned how his father had been killed. He knew the centaurs were amazing healers. And of course he knew that Remy had some kind of bond with them. It was how his father had been punished.
He flew towards the woods but he found that the barriers were up. He knew they had been put up because of the wolves. But he knew it would work. Remy would come to him. The centaurs would tell him he was there and the little batten's spawn would come to him.
Sure enough Remy appeared. "You will pay for what you have done to my husband and baby. I will make you pay for what you have done."
He sneered. "You should have died on those steps at the ministry and we would not have had to go after your husband and son. You should have died then."
Realization donned on Remy he could see. "You and your mother were behind the protests? I knew you people were evil but I never imagined how deep."
Jack shot a severing charm at him but Remy easily blocked the spell. Of course the fool was an expert in duelling. His father had helped teach him. His father had been lead astray. He was supposed to come. He was to come here and kill Remy when he got the chance. Instead he became infatuated with him. He could have killed him dozens of times but he hadn't. He had decided to rape the brat instead and it had cost him his life. He shook away the thought. It was not his fault. This stupid little brat had corrupted him, had enchanted him. His father had loved him and his mother. He would have come home to them if it had not been for this brat.
He sent another curse at Remy. "You seduced my father. You seduced him. You wanted him so bad. And then cried rape when your little boyfriend found out."
Remy shot off his own curse. "Your father drugged me, attacked me when sick in an infirmary and forced me to let him rape me to save my sister."
Rage filled him. His father had not been some kind of pedophile. He had been seduced by the power and some what beauty of Remy. Nothing more then that. Remy was just like his filthy father. He was a no good for anything half breed who did not know his place. He was worse then his father. He was not satisfied being a wizard. He should have been glad he was not a werewolf. But he had embraced this foolish centaur blood. He would have been proud to have been a werewolf if his father had been one but with a human father he would have been a scandal. He would rather be human then a half blood werewolf, it was nearly as bad as being a bitten was. It was in the eyes of true were wolves like for wizards the difference between a mudblood and a half blood, half bloods were better but still steps below pure bloods.
Remy shocked him when out of no where he threw a knife at him and it pierced him through his wand hand's wrist forcing him to drop his wand to the ground. He had not even seen it coming before it went into his flesh.
Remy sent a body bind at him before he could recover. "You can thank my husband for that one. I decided to bring him with me when I faced you."
He struggled against the bonds to no avail. "Kill me and I can say hi to your husband ad unborn baby in the after life. I hope you said your goodbyes first."
Remy smirked at him. "My husband and baby are alive and I will not be losing them. And you will stand trial for your crimes as your father should have."
This could not be happening. He fought against the bonds. He had to die in battle. He could not die from the dementor's kiss or in some prison cell. Both of his parents and his grandfather died in battle. There was no shame in being killed in a fair fight against a good opponent. He had to be killed here. He could not allow himself to stand trial. He had no inside source like his father to get him out of prison. If his father had been smart enough he would have fled when he was rescued. And lived to fight another day. But the stupid like seducer over there had lured him back to the school ad he had been killed by the law of the filthy nags of the forest.
He needed to enrage him. "I will get free. Like my father I have insiders. I will get out. And I will hunt everyone you love including your husband and sister."
Remy snarled at him. "You will not convince me to kill you. You will rot in prison. I will not lower myself to your level or that of your family. You're not worth it."
They were soon surrounded by those who had come into the backroom at the shop and he knew that he was going to prison. They had summoned some aurors. He had to find some way out. He would not spend his life in prison or get the kiss. He would die one way or another. He would not live with the shame of anything else. He looked at the knife which had been removed from his hand and took one last attempt to enrage them Between the Malfoys and Remy's family someone had to do it.
He looked at the knife. "I will slit your little husband's throat yet. I will slit his throat like our mercenaries did with your father on the ministry steps. I will."
He was not sure from where but he felt a spell hit him moments after the last word had left his throat. For a moment he believed that he had won. He had got someone to kill him. He hoped that it would be Remus or one of his enemies for they would end up in But as he sunk into the blackness he knew he had been hit with a stunner.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Regulus caught his nephew into his arms. He knew that Remy had only used a stunner but Remy's knees had given out on him. He felt the same rage. They both knew now that it had not been simply a political protest which took Sirius from them. It had been a plot from this kid and his mother as well. Rage over losing his brother and over what had happened to Remy's husband and the baby. Or they actually did not know what had happened. He held his nephew against him as the aurors took Jack away and Moody came over to them with what they all realized was Draco's centaur dagger. Remy shockingly took the knife and they realized Remy was wearing his husband's sheath in his belt. It sent even more panic through the others in wondering if Draco had not made it.
Lucius asked the question. "What happened Remy? Where are Draco and the baby? Did they make it to the infirmary?"
Remy shook his head. "I flashed them to the centaurs. I knew they would be too much at risk in the infirmary. And Bane and Magorian are healers."
They listened in wonder as he explained how he had managed to flash both him and his husband out of the shop. He had brought them to the centaurs. He had called upon his love for his husband and the innocence of his baby to bring the phoenix tears for the second time. He had saved both his husband and the baby but his husband was in a coma. He had to leave him to come and face Jack.
Remus came to his son's side. "Draco, he is in a coma you said? But the baby?"
Remy was in tears. "The centaurs said the baby is fine. But they are not sure if or when my husband might come out of it. I can't lose him Daddy."
Remus held his son in his arms even though Regulus had not let him go. They knew that people could come from comas. Remy had. They would get Draco back. They were surprised when Bane came and to their shock Magorian himself was with him. Magorian usually did not venture out of the woods. Draco was in the arms of Bane and while he was unconscious as they had been told they could see that he was breathing fine.
Bane spoke as Lucius took his son. "We have done what we could do for your husband little brother. The prayers and love of your herd are with him and you now."
Remy bowed a bit from the place in their arms. "Thank you for what you have done and for your prayers. I just hope it is enough."
They headed inside for the school. They took Draco to his apartments for they knew Poppy and Severus could come to him. Monitoring spells would help. It was a waiting game. As long as Draco stayed like this the baby would be fine and they could perform a c-section in just short of six months. But Remy needed his husband, the baby needed his Daddy. They all needed Draco to make it.
Lucius held his son in law. :"We will all be here with you. We will all help you through this I swear. Draco will come back for you and his son. He will."
Remy rested his head against him. "He wanted Sirius so bad. We are supposed to raise him together. I can't lose him Uncle Luc. I and Siri need him"
Holding him they all knew that Remy was right. Draco wanted that baby so bad. And Remy wanted the baby more the life but his husband even more then that. Narcissa and the others would come. And they would all be here with him. He would never be alone. He would have their support and love as he fought to get his husband back to him. Remy had lost far too much and sacrificed more then anyone his age should have ever been asked to. He deserved a happy future but that future included Draco.
He put the stuffed dog next to his husband. "Father watch over him, them, for me. Watch over Draco and bring him back to me. Please father watch over him for me."
