CHAPTER THIRTY- SIX

They found the third of their Triad in the room of requirements beating the sand out of his fifth punching bag, his only stress reliever since the sources of his stress weren't here.

"And here I thought I'd find you and Severus, sucking face ."

Seamus turned at Harry's voice, he wrapped his friends, his brothers in a bear hug.

"You're both finally awake."

"You just finding about this."

"I've pretty much holed myself up here."

"Looks like you and Neville had the same thought, he stayed in his room too."

"Guess we both needed isolation." Said Neville. "I really am sorry Harry, if-"

"Stop it's in the past."

"The C.D.C. have been sending correspondence all week. Probably thinks the treaty is null and void." Seamus in formed him.

"We have good reason don't we, but I'll talk to them alone, I don't think bringing you two would make things better."

Narsis and Verik stood within the Council chambers, begging them to take them back to the castle to talk to Neville; there were others there who felt sympathy for them.

"Even if we agreed to let you two go back." Said Nirok. "There's still the fact that because of your actions you may have broken the treaty we had with the silver snakes, everyone is on guard because we won't be surprised that they attack us for retribution."

"Instead of worrying about your love life." Added Openus who definitely wasn't happy with what they did to Harry. "You should be hoping Harry is still alive."

"I'm insulted that you think that little attack would do me in Openus."

They turned to see Harry standing there, in a black button down shirt and slacks, Severus next to him, he walked towards them, he was limping but it subtle, the hall quieted.

"Don't worry the contract isn't broken although I situation warrants it but I'm here to see Narsis and Verik."

Kraven and Vion stood to protest but Harry shut them up.

"I'm not gonna kill them, so shut it." Turns to the two young men. "Even if I am within my rights."

He unbuttoned his cuffs and rolled them above his elbows, he pulled out dagger and their father rose with protest, but the council held them back, Verik and Narsis faced him eyes locked on his.

"The problem with parents today is that they don't let their kids take responsibility for their actions, I'm glad you owning up to yours but this doesn't make it easier, I was considering you as brothers but I guess that's out the window."

They were soon on the floor bruised in bleeding; holding their slashed eye they weren't blind but the wounds will scar since the blade was silver coated with holy water and blessed by a priest. Harry squatted before them wiping the blood off the blade on to his sleeve there was regret in his eyes something they didn't expect.

"You should know your punishment was symbolic, the beating was for Draco for nearly depriving him of his soon-to-be-husband and for my children for nearly depriving them of their father."

"And their eyes." Asked Nirok.

"Because of their actions Neville is blind in one eye."

"Oh god." Said Narsis.

"Look I shouldn't be saying this, Seamus is a true Irishman and he'll never forgive you for what you did, and he can hold grudge like pitbull, pretty much everybody not happy with you but Neville still loves you despite him breaking the bond between ya'll, which I still don't get how he did that. Ya'll need eachother."

Harry stood up putting the dagger back in it's hiding place, the Hall's doors opened again two men walked in both blonde, murky green eyes all locked on Harry they were grown men with determined handsome faces, they walked up to him their eyes flitted to Narsis and Verik before returning to him.

"You Potter?" one of them asked.

"Yes."

""I'm Orion and this my brother Ajax We're hear to challenge you."

"For what?"

"The rights and affections of our mate."

What the fuck?

"And who is your mate?"

"Openus."

Son of a bitch.
