Harry and Severus anxiously followed his dad back into the sitting room of the Malfoy apartments and Harry sunk down into the couch next to his dad when he motioned for Harry to.

He looked between his dads. "What happened? I know if you came storming unannounced into Sev's lab, there is something wrong."

Lucius sat down. "Harry, we wanted to let you know that the aurors are on their way and you're going to have to be taken to the ministry."

It was Severus who spoke up. "What are you talking about Lucius? There has to be some mistake. I mean the aurors wouldn't arrest..."

Remus cut him off when he saw Harry go stock white. "No. Cub we didn't mean to scare you. It's just they are already on their way and we are to meet them."

Lucius explained. "Albus has been arrested by the ministry and they need Harry to make a statement so they have charges to stick against Albus."

Harry paled and they all knew that they were about to have to explain to him about the videos and photos. The aurors who had contacted them had assured them they had been retrieved from Albus and there was no leak out there. Harry though started shaking when they told him what had happened.

Harry looked at his dads. "Why didn't you tell me? How could you not tell me what he was doing? Someone could have seen that."

Remus pulled him close. "You know your father and I were trying to protect you cub. We hoped we could find Albus and his aid, and stop it before it happened."

Lucius came and sat on his other side. "Stephen was helping Moody and Tonks, with some PI's as well, and they were able to get to him before it went out.

Harry was still sobbing in their arms when they got him to come with them and led him out of their apartments and towards the Great Hall. They hated to put their son through this again but they knew they had no choice. If Albus was to be put away they needed Harry to give a statement but they knew this time would be worse.

Tonks was waiting for them when they got half way to the gates. "Harry. I'm sorry we have to put you through this again. You know I am."

Harry looked up at her. "I just want this done with. I want him put away so I can get past this."

Tonks sighed. "You are going to have to not only give us a statement Harry but you are going to have to testify as well at the trial."

Harry went rigid at the thought but he nodded. "Can't I just give my statement here? You took it from me last time, back at the manor."

Tonks shared a look with his fathers that had Severus worried for he knew there was still something that Harry had not been told. Harry noticed the look and stopped walking with her until she explained.

"Harry it has been decided you can't be here at school until after you testify. There are too many people around to influence how you testify." Tonks told him.

Harry looked at his dads. "Then what, I go live with my dads at the townhouse in London or something right?"

Lucius took his arm. "Harry your dad and I aren't allowed to come with you. The court has decided because of our teaching positions and our history with Albus we might be undo influence on you."

Harry shook his head. "No. You swore they couldn't take me from you again. You swore. You swore I never had to leave you again. You promised me."

Remus tried to hug him but Harry pulled away. "Cub, I promise they're not taking you from us. The trial is a few days away. You'll be gone a week at the most."

Severus at that point was livid that the court would continue to put the boy through this again. The last time he had been taken from his dads he had been taken back to his Uncle and been raped again. His Uncle was in prison but uprooting the boy for even a week, especially when expecting him to testify, was beyond cruel.

"Where are they sending me then?" Harry asked.

Severus prayed it was not what he was thinking. "They won't try something as stupid as putting the boy in foster care or something?"

Tonks shook her head and actually smiled. "He will be staying with the Weasleys. They have a history with Albus but a decent one and Madam Bones has agreed they won't be an undue influence over Harry. Especially since with Ginny and Ron at school, it will just be Molly and Arthur there."

Harry had never been at the Burrow without any of the children and the thought was strange to him but his fathers could see that Harry was at least comforted to know he'd be with people he knew and he knew he would be safe there as well.

Remus hugged him tight. "You will be home in no more then a week cub. I promise. You know we love you. Just remember that."

Lucius kissed his head. "I know we promised you'd be safe last time but you know Molly and Arthur love you. One week Harry and I promise you'll be home."

Severus hated this as much as his fathers did. The school year started tomorrow and instead of getting on a train and heading for school or being at the opening feast with his friends in this case, Harry was facing a week in London of statements and testimony. This was going to be hard enough on him without being separated from his dads and brother. He knew the Weasley kids must have agreed to stay away from the house for a week in order for their parents to get to let Harry stay, but Severus knew the boys being there would have made it easier on Harry.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

It was late that night when Tonks led a completely exhausted Harry towards the Burrow. Harry had spent hours talking first to Moody officially and then to Madam Bones about what had happened. He was told he would not need to testify for five days and until then he was not to have outside contact with anyone other then the ministry officials.

Molly and Arthur were both waiting at the door. Molly pulled him into a hug. "I never thought when I saw you this morning we'd see you so soon Harry."

Harry looked at her. "I'm sorry to put you guys to all of this trouble. I know some of my brothers were staying here. I hate kicking them out of their beds."

Arthur came to hug him. "Bill's new house was ready anyways and Charlie is staying at Percy's. Ginny and Ron are with the twins till they leave for school."

Tonks handed Harry's bag over to them. "We'll be back on Tuesday morning to collect Harry for trial. You understand he can only have contact with you two or he will be removed to foster care?"

Molly nodded. "We understand Tonks. I know it will be hard on Harry, but I know he understands that it is better then being sent to stay with strangers."

Harry nodded and after saying goodbye to Tonks he let himself be led inside. Molly insisted on serving him some hot coco and while he drank it and nibbled on a cookie their attempts to get him to talk at all failed.

Arthur finally decided Harry was ready to drop. "We have put you in Charlie and Bill's old room. We thought with just you here, it made no sense for Ron's."

Harry knew it made sense as Ron lived all the way up on the top floor and the older boys' room was near the master. "Thank you Mr Weasley"

He showed Harry into the bedroom and Harry realized that though he was sharing Charlie and Bill's old room, someone had gone to some effort to make Harry feel slightly more at home here. Before that morning he would have thought it was Ron and Ginny but he knew he'd be kidding himself to believe that.

Arthur saw him looking around. "The older boys helped. We thought we would try and spruce it up and make you feel like less of a guest while here."

Harry tried to put on a small smile for the man as he did not want Arthur to think he wasn't grateful for it. "Thank you. It means a lot you guys would."

Arthur's heart was sinking for Harry. He told himself it was only a week and Harry loved them dearly as well, but he knew right now through this trial what Harry needed more then anything was support and to take him from his dads and brother, seemed like another cruel blow to the boy.

Arthur sat down on the opposite bed. "You know Molly and I understand. You don't need to feel pressure to talk to us if you don't want. Just know we're here."

Harry surprised him a bit by throwing himself into his arms. "I love you guys. And I meant it this morning. You're still my family. I just wish my dads were here."

Arthur had been a father long enough, nearly thirty years really, to know how to handle his son's emotional swings like this. Right now Harry just needed him to be there and that was what he did. He held Harry until the boy calmed and pulled away.

"I don't want Mrs Weasley to think I don't appreciate your care. I know she wanted to help downstairs, but I just can't." Harry said quietly.

Arthur shook his head. "You don't worry about Molly. She just wants you to feel safe and loved. You let her keep you fed, and she'll be happy enough."

Harry actually smiled a bit at that. "I guess if nothing else I might put on ten pounds here. Dad has always said I don't eat enough and need to grow."

Arthur chuckled. "Well Molly will see to it. I'll let you settle in and get some sleep. If you need us Harry, we're just across the hall. No matter what time."

Harry was grateful for that. "Thank you Mr. Weasley. Good night."

Harry turned to his bag and began unpacking and cried when he noticed some of their photos from that summer had been slipped in the bag. He knew his dads had little warning he was being taken so it touched him even more that they'd think about such things. There was also a note from Draco and his dads reminding him how much they loved him and would be waiting for him to come home.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Draco was upset when his brother was taken again and had not wanted to go to the opening feast the next day but his fathers assured him Harry would have wanted him to go and he had not seen his friends all summer. He was reminded he was supposed to introduce Harry to them at the feast. It was Friday and they had received word Harry would be home Tuesday night, but he hated this. He wanted his brother home meeting his friends and being convinced to re-sort.

Severus walked him up to the Great Hall. "I know you miss him. I miss him too Draco. But you know he'd want you to have a good time at the feast for him."

Draco knew he was right as his brother always thought of everyone but himself. "I know. But I hate being here and laughing and smiling when he must be so upset."

Severus shook his head. "It will be hard on him but you know he feels at home at the Burrow and I'm sure Molly is feeding him her own feast as we speak."

Draco knew the food part was right but he also knew that Harry\s red headed brothers had been made to promise to stay away from the house until after trial and while he loved Molly and Arthur, it would not be the same for him there without his brothers to confide in.

He smiled a bit though when he saw Blaise coming. "Hey where is your new brother? After your letters I thought you'd be showing him off."

Blaise had been in Italy all summer but Draco had written him the good news about his dads and Harry. "Harry had to go away for a few days to London. He won't be back till Tuesday."

Most of the students knew some of what happened thanks to the news so Blaise didn't say anything. "Well Tuesday is soon enough to help you get him to re-sort."

The others joined in with Blaise's comments about Harry becoming a snake and for a moment Draco was actually smiling and feeling good until a voice cut through and made them all turn around.

"Maybe I should tell Harry you're so glad to be rid of your new brother that you're laughing it up. Maybe he will reconsider becoming a snake. "Ron sneered.

Draco met him sneer for sneer. "He might not even consider it if you lions had any more loyalty in your bones then a stick. Definitely no Hufflepuffs, most of you."

Ron stormed off followed by some but Draco was happy to see a few like Hermione and Neville as well as Katie stayed behind and he was again reminded that Harry really needed to re-sort and come some where he could count on his housemates.

Hermione actually smiled at Draco a bit. "I know you care about Harry and I know he would want his brother to enjoy tonight. Don't let the prat bother you."

Draco returned the smile. "Thanks Hermione. Uncle Sev was trying to tell me the same thing."

Draco went to sit down with his friends and while from time to time he got drawn into a conversation with his friends and even smiled here and there, his mind was never far from his brother and he just wished he was allowed contact with him. He wished they knew how he was doing.
