Harry did not hear her response for he apparated from the Burrow and headed back to Grimmauld place. He was greeted by his anxious husband who had guessed where he had gone and to say he wasn't pleased Harry had gone alone was a definite understatement.
Harry didn't have a chance to speak as his husband dragged him inside and into the sitting room. "What do you think you were pulling?"
Harry yanked his arm from his husband. "I was thinking that perhaps if Molly knew we had Fabian and he was about to be a dad, that she might come to us."
Severus shook his head. "You risked your life to convince that woman to come to our side. Your Uncle would be ballistic to know you risked that."
"I was never even in any danger. Molly couldn't do anything to me even if she wanted." Harry reminded him.
Severus was livid. "And her husband or her remaining children, what about them? You risked your life for no reason Harry."
Harry shook his head. "I was in no danger with her. I don't know why you're so upset Severus, you do more dangerous things then this all the time."
Severus grabbed him again. "Did you even once stop to think about our daughter if she lost her daddy? Or me if I lost you again?"
Harry saw the fear in his husband's eyes. "I'm sorry Sev. I really didn't think that I was in any danger."
Severus sighed. "You have more then yourself to think about. Your daughter and I need you. And Susan and Luna didn't risk their lives for you for you to throw it away."
Harry felt a huge load of guilt on his heart. "I'm sorry Sev, I really am. I know I wasn't thinking. I swear to you I'll never do anything like that again."
Severus was less irate. "You better not or I promise you I'll lock you in Prince Manor and never let you out. I've almost lost you twice, I can't take it again."
Harry reached out to run a hand along his face. "I'm so sorry I scared you Sev. I won't risk myself again for something so foolish."
Severus was calming. "I just want our daughter to have her daddy, and I want my husband. There is enough danger around us without you doing this."
Harry pulled his husband into a kiss. "No more looking for trouble I promise. If I want to go some where next time, I take you or a guard with me, I promise."
Severus pulled Harry down onto the couch. "Thank you. I might not look it but you're making an old man out of me and my heart can't take much more of this."
Harry laid his hand against his husband's chest. "It seems pretty strong to me. And you're still a very young and vigorous man to me."
Severus actually laughed at that. "Is that an invitation Mr Snape?"
Harry smiled and got to his feet. "That it is, and more. I thought you could use a bit of exercise to make your heart stronger."
Severus jumped to his feet. "I think the healers would recommend that. Though I think you might need a little punishing to make sure you never do this again."
Harry smirked at his husband. "I don't know why but I think I like the sounds of that."
Severus nibbled on the back of his husband's neck as he led him up stairs. "I promise you that this is a kind of punishment you will like."
Harry felt his husband's hands going lower. "I recall we have houseguests, perhaps we should wait until we are in the privacy of our bedroom."
Severus smirked. "The little house guests have gone to Longbottom manor for a few hours. I can ravish you on the carpet right here and no one would know."
Harry smiled. "As inviting as that sounds I plan on some exercise with you for a number of hours and we don't want to be interrupted when they return."
With that incentive Severus surprised Harry by scooping him off his feet and finishing the trip up the stairs and into the bedroom. Harry laughed as his husband practically through him on the bed and all the concerns of the day slid away as his husband pounced on him like an over eager child at Christmas.

Molly was in the kitchen of the Burrow cooking dinner that night. Arthur and the kids were at the table talking but she wasn't sure about what, her mind kept wandering back to the visitor she had that morning as well as her brother. No one in the family knew that she had spoken to Fabian, and she wasn't sure if any of them knew he was alive.
Percy had recently returned from the continent. "I went to visit Charlie. It seems he's no longer in Romania. I have heard he joined the underground with the others."
Molly looked up at her son. "I thought he went to reclaim his land that Harry took from him. How could he have gone to the other side?"
Percy and his father shared a look. Molly had no idea how far involved Percy was with Dumbledore or what he was going on the continent. She had no idea that the man had held her brother prisoner for years or that he had captured Harry, that Percy had tortured him. Molly would never understand. Ron, Ginny and Hermione knew bits and pieces but not all of it.
Percy smirked. "Dumbledore's men on the continent say they have seen him meeting with the other side. He even tried to break into Dumbledore's compound."
Molly tried to hide her reaction. She knew why, she had sent them there but she had not known Charlie was involved. "Do we know why they were there?"
Percy shrugged. "No one knows what Albus does there on the continent unless you work there. I have never even been inside of the compound before."
Hermione looked up."I soon will be. Albus has asked me to head over there and work on some new project for the war. I thought he said you were coming."
Percy smiled at her. "That I am but like you I have no idea what that project is. All I have been told is that it might help us win this war sooner."
Arthur had been silent for this. "Albus wants to push everything forward, after the wizengot refused to reinstate him as the headmaster of the school."
Ginny clunked her cup down on the table. "I knew it was a mistake that Dumbledore did not have Harry under better guards then he did."
Arthur shot his daughter a look to remind her that her mother had no idea or so they all believed. "You know he has little control over Azkaban even before."
Molly looked at her husband and was aware more then ever that he and her remaining children were lying through their teeth. She had only known where Harry was kept for she had intercepted mail for her husband one day. She hadn't believed that what Fabian had told her could be true, but she was starting to believe it.
Molly finally spoke. "I have heard some rumblings of old order members being alive. Even a rumour of my own brother."
Arthur came around and put a hand on her arm. "Molly we all know how much you'd like to have the twins back but you know they were killed."
Molly hid her anger at her husband and the children she knew were keeping this from her. "Of course Arthur. I shouldn't believe such rumours."
Molly finished dinner that night and when she finished the dishes she retreated to the back yard where she found one of the owls they kept there. She had written a letter to her brother after he had first come to visit and had been keeping it. She sent the letter now, hoping it would find it's way to him. She had cast a spell he had taught her as a child, to make sure only he could read it. The password to activate it was something the three Prewett kids had shared.
She was watching the owl take off when Arthur came up behind her. "Molly are you okay? I know you were upset about your brother. I'm sorry you had hopes raised."
Molly turned to look at him. "No. I mean it was foolish of me Arthur. I just needed some fresh air. I know my brother has been dead for decades"
Arthur put his arm around her and led her into the house. "Lets go to bed. It has been a long night especially after you learned Charlie has betrayed is/"
Molly let herself be led to bed but she was deep in thought. She was thinking of the betrayal of a child but not of Charlie, but of the others there in the house still and of her husband as well. Some how she knew she had to find Fabian and after that she needed to straighten things out with Harry and her other children as well.

Fabian was sitting on a window sill at Prince Manor. Just over five months pregnant with twins his stomach was swelling and so were his ankles. He would have had it no other way though for he loved the sense of life growing inside of him, that of his daughter and of his niece.
Regulus came and put an arm around him. "Couldn't sleep again? Are one of our little girls dancing in your belly tonight?"
Fabian rested a head against his husband. "No. I was thinking about Harry but also about my sister."
Reg turned to face his husband. "I know you wish she could come to our side but I doubt she will ever be able to see the right side. Her kids have had no luck."
Fabian shook his head. "I had thought or at least hoped when I went to her and she saw I was alive that she would realize her mistake. I guess that I was wrong."
Regulus was about to lead him to bed when an owl came through the window. "I don't know that owl but it got through the wards."
Fabian took the letter and smiled at the seemingly blank parchment in his hands except for a symbol. "It's from Molly."
Reg was shocked. "How did she know where to contact you and how do you know?"
Fabian pointed at the symbol. "I don't know how she knew but that symbol is a crest we designed as kids. We created an invisible ink technique as kids."
He waved his wand along the paper and whispered the password they had used for everything when they were kids. 'Prewitopia' It had been the name of their play fort as kids and their little dream world that they had used in their fantasies as kids.
Regulus gasped when he saw the writing appeared on the page. "What does she say?"
