Aberforth had been surprised to be contacted as he had spoken to few people since his move, but he agreed to it. The tavern and hotel had been put in his name by his brother so it couldn't be taken. He had been saving all he could since he came from prison and had managed to buy a small piece of land to farm, where he could live in peace. He didn't have anything else for Brian so he did not sell the business when he retired to buy some more land; he had enough to live off until he died. He had a small garden, some chickens and his beloved goats. It was his late fiancé who had given him the goats which is why he still loved goats, even after his brother used them to send him to prison. By the time he was out of prison she was dead, and his grown son soon followed.

Lucius and Sirius came up the front path and seeing the man with his goats, wondered what kind of help the man may provide. At the very least they needed confirmation if Brian was in fact a Dumbledore, and his motivation behind all of this. They needed to know just how much danger Harry could be in.

Aberforth looked up from where he was working. "I was surprised you sought me out. I hoped to retire in peace finally."

Lucius stopped. "We will leave you in peace but we need a few answers. You helped us protect Harry before; we need your help again."

The man motioned for them to follow, and took them out onto the front porch of his house. He had no idea how he could help them out as he had no in this time, his brother was dead and gone. He was not sure how else he could help; he was not connected like his brother had been.

Sirius had to ask "Do you have a grandson? There is a man in town claiming to be."

Aberforth nodded. "I do but I have only met him once."

His fiancé had seen him sent to prison and had been threatened with prison, if she didn't disappear. She had been pregnant with their son at the time, but she had died when their son was two and he had been adopted. By the time Aberforth was released his son was a man with a child of his own, but he had fallen in with the wrong people and was killed. Aberforth had been free for two years by then, but had not learned of his son until after.

Lucius was confused."Then where did Brian come from?'

Aberforth was pale. "Albus learned about my son and grandson I am sure he is the reason that Percival became a criminal."

When his son had died Albus gained custody of his great nephew, looking at him as the son he never had. He had seen him educated at the Salem academy and the best training. He had intended for Brian to one day replace him as head of the school and of the family as well, and all those plans were obviously gone now. Albus had rubbed it in when ever he could that he was training Brian, and would never tell his brother where he was.

Aberforth sighed. "My grandson appeared when Albus was killed. He claims he just wants to be in my life. I guess I was a fool."

Sirius put a hand on his arm."Anyone would have been so happy to find family after all this, and accept him in your life."

The man knew he had been a fool as he knew Brian was raised by his brother, but he had not had family in so long. He had never known his son at all and he never aw his beautiful fiancé before she died, and he had needed someone. Brian claimed his grandsire was his concern and he offered to run the business for him, and send him his share of the profits every month. Aberforth had been happy to know him and retire in peace, and Brian had been sending him money every month as he said.

Aberforth had to ask before they had left. "He hasn't done anything has he?"

Lucius knew he was thinking about his brother and the way he died."He has not hurt Harry or anyone but he will likely see prison.'

He was not some small child who needed a slap on the wrist, or who they thought they could talk into doing the right thing. He could not face the kiss or a black cell if they could stop him now, but he would be looking at prison time. Lucius assured the man he could help sell the tavern or find him someone to run it, but that was not much of a comfort for him right now. This was a man who spent years in prison due to his brother, and now his grandson had been corrupted by the man

Aberforth called as they left. "I know you need to stop but please don't kill him. I can't lose what is left of my family."

Harry was meant to be spending the night with Oliver and Charlie, but his dads had been reluctant about allowing him to. They were conflicted as they didn't want to worry Harry and his brothers would do all they could to keep him safe, but they were still worried. They had to also think about Bran who would be in the house; they would not risk him any more than their own son. Bran was not yet a year old, and the couple was talking about trying for a second child soon, maybe a little girl. Harry was so anxious for his new sister that his interest in babies had grown, and he had already loved Issy and Bran.

In the end it was to be a giant sleep over at the Burrow with Fleur and Issy coming as well, it would be safer then another house. The wards were not as strong as the manor but they still were, and Harry would not catch on. He was simply excited the entire family would be home, not thinking it odd they were all coming.

Molly smiled when they came into the house. "Harry I am so happy you are coming for a sleep over."

Harry smiled and presented her with a basket. "I help Kreacher and Dobby make these."

Molly smiled as she found a basket full of muffins, and at the image of the almost six year old baking with two elves. Severus had been reluctant as his son had been forced to cook for his relatives the first time around, but Harry had been excited. He was reminded Harry was not being forced to cook, and that he truly wanted to help. Severus could admit when he saw his son in an apron at the counter he had to smile, especially with the flour in his son's hair.

Molly noticed Jolly."I was surprised you asked if Harry could bring his cat, but I was assured he was pretty well behaved."

Severus remembered his own head of flour "He is, though I would only allow Harry to help in the kitchen."

Harry had been allowed to bring both his pets for the first time, which had surprised even Harry a bit. Severus hoped Jolly's collar would never have to be removed for even the red heads would be worried, but Nyx was always good to have around. Molly had never allowed her kid to have a cat as she thought they were messy, but Harry was different. This was for one weekend, and her sons and Severus said the cat would likely sleep the entire time

Harry looked at saw Molly was cooking still."Can I help you Mrs. Weasley? Kreacher says I am very good in the kitchen for a human."

Molly laughed and saw Oliver come into the kitchen. "I think you can help with breakfast. I am sure Oliver will take you up and settle you in."

Harry turned and hugged his Papa before he bounded off with Oliver, he would be camping out with the twins in their old room. Fred and George were both engaged and though they would never tell Harry they did live with them, but they had come alone for the weekend. They hadn't heard how Harry had reacted to Pansy and Draco living together but they could have guessed, Harry was so innocent about such things.

Severus turned back to the woman. "I hope you really don't mind about this. I hate asking you to take a chance at putting your family at risk."

Molly stopped him. "You didn't ask, we offered and you know how much we love Harry. There are wards, and I know you have someone watching.'

Severus hadn't told them but he did have an off duty auror watching the house, well a few on rotation that weekend. He hadn't thought to worry the couple any more than they needed to, but Molly had guessed he would take every precaution. She had known the man as a teacher and order member for years, but he had sure changed since he became a dad. She agreed with Lucius and Sirius on subject of a little girl, she would change this man even more.

Molly put down the muffins on the counter. "If nothing more it will be nice for an assistant. Bill is the only one of my kids who can even boil water.'

Severus found himself laughing a bit."I do recall you chasing people out of the kitchen with a knife when you were at Grimmauld."

She couldn't deny it but it was not because she didn't want help, but because she was worried dinner would be ruined. Her own kids were bad enough but Tonks had kept trying to help as well, and even if an auror she was totally clumsy. They could both remember what a mess she always managed to make of the kitchen.

Molly ushered him out the door. "I know you have other things to do. I assure you that your son will be fine. Maybe a few extra pounds heavier, but fine."

Severus laid his hand on his belly. "I guess having this little one in me has made me a bit protective."

Molly shared a look with her husband who had come in when Severus blamed it on hormones, he had been protective of Harry since day one. Fatherhood changed men and usually for the better though not always. Molly could still remember the first time Arthur held Bill in his arms.

Arthur came and kissed his wife when the man was finally gone. "I pity his daughter when she tries to date. He will be even more protective of a little daughter."

Harry was safe and happy at the Burrow without any of the concerns for his safety on his mind, leaving the adults who loved him to be free to worry. Harry would spend the next weekend at the school with Draco which would be even safer, but they needed to end this. As much as they tried to protect Harry from the truth they knew it could not continue forever, he would pick up on it. Harry had already been spooked at the pool and he noticed he was allowed to bring his pets for the sleep over, and Harry was such a smart little boy. They knew as a tee he had always been upset about lies, but he was a little child and the truth would only scare him.

Brian was of course not foolish enough to just hang around, he had known of course they would know who he was. He had been in town intentionally for he didn't want to be in the shadows like Albus, he wanted them to know who he was. He was cocky and confident he would walk free, and that made him more dangerous.

Lucius was not sure what his goal was."Does he want Harry dead or ransom? I mean he lost a lot of power and money."

Sirius agreed with him."And if he was as close with Albus as told, he may know of Avalon."

Albus had died before the Fae went back to their island, and the man might not know Harry was no longer the key to the island. Harry was heir to the Black fortune still and the Potter of course, and even with his sister he would have some Prince money. There was plenty of reason to believe the man could be greedy.

Remus wanted to believe them but he was scared."Harry told us the man asked if he would like to see his mum."

Severus took him into his arms. "He could have been trying to scare our son. And even if not, we will never allow him to hurt Harry."

They would send Harry to Alberi's family if there was any proof the man wanted him dead, they wouldn't take any risks with him. Remus tried to convince his husband he should take Harry if they had to, he was worried about his pregnant husband as well. Remus knew his husband ha been a spy in both wars and knew how to take care of himself, but the baby changed that all. It was scary enough having one child at risk, without having them both.

Severus knew his husband all too well. "I will not hide. I may be pregnant but I can protect my son."

Lucius supported Remus."When Albus was a concern Oliver and Fleur had to be sent to France. You know the baby needs to be a concern as well."

He knew they were right and that it was common procedure, but he had never thought he would be the one shipped off. He was so happy he was pregnant and he wanted their daughter so much, but he had never been one to sit back and do nothing. And when it came to his son, that would be even harder.

Before he could respond Dobby appeared. "Master Alberi and Mistress Molly be asking me bring you. Masters need to come to the Burrow now."
