Oh My God There's Two Of Them

Chapter 26

Getting Read To Fight To The Death

Hadrian converted the sofa into a bed for the sleeping Muggles. He created two in the spare bedroom - where they'd broken all the Horcrux's for Sirius and Remus. The children spent the night together; it had exhausted them all so it was no surprise. At around ten o'clock Hadrian contacted the Longbottom's.

"Hello Hadrian," smiled Alice, she had a story book in her hand and a sleeping son in her lap. It seemed as though they were well and truly, making up for lost time.

"Did you hear about the attack in the Muggle world?" asked Harry getting straight to the point.

"Attack?" asked Alice looking and sounding very alarmed.

"Yes, they went for my son," his face from the fire was one of death, Alice shivered just seeing it, even knowing it wasn't directed at her. She stared down at her son and realized she'd have been the same.

"Is he okay?" she asked, Harry was her godson, she hadn't been able to see him after he was put with the Dursley's. Dumbledore had made sure of that, using blood wards as an excuse. The Ministry of course had eaten it up; she regretted not trying harder knowing he had been abused. Unfortunately he would have ended up back there - since she and Frank had been attacked not long after. She owed Severus her sanity and life; she'd do anything for them. They'd bonded on a level that most Wizards and Witches didn't.

"He's fine, I taught him well just in case this happened," said Hadrian a devilish grin on his face.

"Thank goodness you did," she said relieved, and then she wondered if she should be teaching her son? Perhaps just a few spells at a time? Yes, she would she didn't want Neville behind his friends at school.

"Listen Hermione's parents were there when they attacked, I'm going to have to deal with the Death Eaters - because the Ministry wont. I need to create a safe world for my son. I also have to clean up Hermione's house we Obliviated the parents. They were hysterical and to be honest, we were afraid they wouldn't let Hermione go to Hogwarts because of it." said Hadrian; he didn't keep much from Alice and Frank.

"We understand Hadrian, just because He's gone it doesn't make the Death Eaters any less of a threat." said Alice, she honestly didn't care what Hadrian did to them. They deserved it at the end of the day, all those defenceless witches, wizards and Muggles they'd hurt. She'd been furious to find out that he'd gotten himself out of being in Azkaban. Imperious Curse her back side, it's why she and Frank weren't working for them anymore. They wouldn't work with a world that couldn't see what was in front of them. That preferred Galleon's in their pockets than do what was right.

"Exactly, we need somewhere safe for them to be, we've planted a memory of the Grangers coming here to see the world Hermione will be a part of in a few years…or rather the world she has been in for a few years." said Hadrian wryly. "So they think they are here to see where Hermione's been. Can we bring them here? While we go and deal with business?"

"Of course you can," said Alice immediately, "Neville is missing them I can tell despite the fact he's so happy we are here."

"Great, I'll bring them over after breakfast say nine o'clock?" asked Hadrian.

"No problem Hadrian, I shall see you all then," said Alice nodding her head in agreement.

"Thanks Alice, where's Frank?" he teased slightly, they hadn't let each other out of their sight. Not that Hadrian could blame them, after what had happened. The way Frank was, told Hadrian a lot that he'd watched his wife suffer a fate worse than death before he too had been held under the curse until insanity claimed him too.

"He's gone to see his mum, he's still not happy with her but I've told him to talk it out." said Alice.

"That's very forgiving of you," said Hadrian.

"Yes well she had changed since Neville met little Harry and you, and I think Neville actually misses her." said Alice.

"It's understandable, she did raise him for years." stated Hadrian.

"Yes, well he'll just have to get used to seeing her now and again. Such as birthday's Christmas's and the likes." said Alice, she didn't want that woman staying with them. Now after the way she'd treated her son, magic or not he was her son. It wasn't her mother, so she didn't really have to put up with her.

Hadrian laughed softly, "Okay I'm going to go, ill see you tomorrow." he said before he withdrew himself from the fire.

"Everything okay?" asked Sirius he was in transfigured pyjamas.

"It will be once Malfoy is six feet under," said Hadrian his lip curled in repugnance just thinking about the blonde.

"Yeah," said Sirius in agreement.

"If you and Lupin will have trouble with it then stay home." said Hadrian.

"And miss the show? No chance." said Sirius he was looking forward to it.

Hadrian looked at Sirius curiously, "Looks like more than I thought has changed. You were using stunning spells at Death Eaters the last time I saw you." before he fell through the Veil of Death at the Ministry of magic he added mentally.

"I wasn't one of the best Auror in the division for nothing," said Sirius, he couldn't understand the actions of his future self, or rather now alternative self since it wouldn't happen. "You're father and Frank, and Moody was the best. We were sent on nearly all the decent missions the Ministry could."

"You still going back?" asked Hadrian.

"It's not the same with your dad and Frank," admitted Sirius warily.

"You need to watch what you are saying, he's not my father here." cautioned Hadrian.

"You're still my godson," said Sirius bitterly.

"No, I have no need for a godfather, Harry does." said Hadrian. He put his hands up seeing Sirius was about to argue with him. "I'm not saying I don't forgive you…I'm a grown man. I spent my entire life without you; I have a son of my own and a lover. I truly don't need a godfather but I could use a friend."

Sirius thought about what Hadrian had said, maybe he was right "Friends then," said Sirius nodding in agreement.

"Good, now go get some sleep - we're gonna need it." said Hadrian.

"Where's Sna…Severus?" asked Sirius looking around in confusion.

Hadrian smirked, "Doing what he does best when he's stressed."

Sirius merely blinked in confusion.

"Brewing." started Hadrian rolling his eyes in exasperation.

"Oh," said Sirius looking sheepish, of course that's what Snape did best, even at school he'd been the best brewer. Slughorn had always been all over him. He'd barely passed Potions enough to get him into the Auror Division. It was mostly because he didn't have the Potions for brewing. He preferred action; he was an epitome of Gryffindor. "Where?" he said looking around in confusion.

"There's a basement down there, the hatch is in our bedroom." said Hadrian laughing in amusement.

Sirius nodded in understanding.

"Want something to eat?" asked Hadrian, "I'm going to make some sandwiches."

"Sure," murmured Sirius in affirmative.

"You okay?" asked Hadrian coming down the steps into Severus' potions lab. He had it built it to Severus' exact specifications, as promised when Severus moved in. Now that he was an independent brewer, he had many people asking for his potions. The one he brewed he most was the Wolfsbane potion.

"I'll be fine," said Severus.

"He's safe you know, there's nothing to worry about, it's a good job we trained him so well." said Hadrian. Placing the ham, cheese and pickle sandwich on the counter.

"I agree," said Severus smiling in gratitude, he was hungry; he always did forget to eat when he was down here. Most potions he brewed required constant supervision anyway. It wasn't possible for him to just step away, to make something to eat. Unless of course he had to cast a spell to freeze it, but it affected its proficiency so he didn't use it a lot. Grabbing his sandwich he began eating it, creaking his neck to release the stiffness that had built up.

Hadrian wrapped his arms around Severus, leaning against him. Working his fingers up Severus' top, until he felt skin on skin. He grinned feeling Severus' sharp intake of breath. He absently played and tweaked his nipples, until they were hard. "How much longer are you doing to stay down here?" he breathed into Severus' ear. "I'm sure I can think of something much more fun to be doing…don't you?" he finished patting Severus' bulge playfully, pulling away when he tried to rub himself against his hand.

"I'll be up in a minute," said Severus his voice breathless, he had created a monster, he realized as Hadrian walked away. When they first slept together Hadrian had been a virgin. His life had never been his own, Dumbledore dictating absolutely everything. Which meant Hadrian had never been allowed to be a normal teenager. Never allowed to sleep around, experiment like normal adolescent children. He had more than made up for that Severus thought wryly, he finished the Potion, his mind not on it at all. No his mind was on something or rather someone else entirely. There was no better way to get rid of any tension he had left from the day's events.
