Chapter Four-The Meeting
Harry sighed as he looked at the clock which read midnight. He quickly pulled on his pants and a sweatshirt that read Hogwarts University on it.
"'Mione, we've gotta get going, or we'll be late for the meeting," Harry said as he ran a hand through his hair. She slowly got up and grabbed a pair of her own pants and a shirt.
"We'll floo to Albus' office, otherwise we'll never make it on time," he said softly. Within seconds they were landing on the floor in Dumbledore's office.
"Nice of you to join us," Minerva said smiling at the young couple.
"Sorry guys," Harry whispered dusting his wife of gently, he looked around and smiled at his old friend. Mad Eye Moody, Albus, Remus, Minerva, Ms. Figgs, Neville Longbottom. He paused, his father and mother were no where in sight.
"Shit," he heard, turning he saw Severus running through the door just barely pulling the shirt over his head. Leanne came in behind him looking all to calm and happy.
"Sorry daddy, we ran a little over, in our business," she said smiling as Severus tucked his shirt in and muttered something under her breath. She saw the slight twinkle in her father's eye.
"It's okay, now please everyone have a seat," Severus sighed and sat down next to his wife.
"There are of course rumors that Voldemort might be back, all of which I'm sure you've heard," Harry looked at his grandfather, he had known, but hadn't wanted to believe it.
"Which means several things, there are Slytherins that now are his followers." Harry paled considerably.
"Are they all in danger?" Hermione asked, what her husband couldn't.
"No it does not seem so, at the moment the only real people in danger are Severus and Harry," Dumbledore said. Harry sighed, he had known this was coming, as had his father. They weren't quite as lost as others, they knew that Voldemort would never really die, only that he became weak and went away for awhile until he was strong again.
"So what do we do?" Minerva asked she knew that Harry and Severus would never allow themselves to be protected.
"Right now, we wait. They are, at the present time, only rumors and there is no point it scaring everyone with a bunch of rumors."
"I'd feel better about all of this if Jamie hadn't been placed in Slytherin with Riddle," Harry said quietly.
"Keep an eye on him Harry, I understand your feelings, I felt the same way when my God-son was placed in Slytherin," Dumbledore said looking at Severus. Harry had never known Dumbledore was Severus' God-father.
Suddenly there was a loud hiss of pain from Severus, he nearly doubled over in pain grasping his elbow. He had been avoiding this pain for seventeen years, and was unaccustomed to it.
"Dad!" Harry said as he moved to stand next to his father. Emily did the same.
Severus couldn't hear or feel anything but the pain in his arm. He felt tears in his eyes, then he felt a firm hand grip his wrist and pull it away from his chest.
"Breath son," Dumbledore whispered as his large wrinkled hands were placed firmly over the Deatheater mark. Severus hissed in pain once again and slowly began to breathe again, looking down where the hand was placed he sighed. Fear rose, if that was burning, then none of the rumors weren't rumors anymore.
"This meeting is adjourned. Severus, you are obviously not going to anymore of the meetings, however I know someone I plan on sending, would you mind writing your nephew Lea, and asking Draco to come as soon as he can. Lupin, write Sirius, find him, I don't care how long it takes just find the man. Neville I'm going to need your help as well, I need you to help me round up all the Aurors. Moody is there anyway to find a place where we can stage the battle, I don't want it here."
"I'm sure we can, I'll look," Mad Eye said.
"Harry, I want you to contact Ron, put whatever is behind you where it belongs, get him here and I mean soon. Bill should have a general idea as to where he is. If nothing else Ginny will know, ask her. I don't care how you find him, but find him. When you do find him recruit him as well as his older brothers for the Aurors, and if needed maybe Order of the Phoenix. Severus I want you to go with Harry and Minerva on the next trip to Hogsmeade, but whatever you'll need where Potions are considered. Harry, instead of starting with whatever you were starting with tomorrow, I want you to teach them how to defend themselves. Boggarts, anything ask Lupin some of his ideas, since he taught you, and ask your father. Severus, and Harry the dueling club is to be started again, all students interested must be taught how to defend themselves," Dumbledore ordered. Everyone nodded, and quickly left, with their assignments and jobs.
Harry headed not towards his own room, but Bill's, where he knocked on the door. The tall man opened the door and looked at him. Billy hadn't really changed since Harry's fourth year. He had come here to teach Arithnmancy after the prior teacher had left. Bill had gotten tired with his pervious job and wanted something more steady, while he still held his other job in the summers, he taught the rest of the year.
"Harry, it's two in the morning," Bill said.
"Let me in Bill, we need to talk about your brothers."
"Which ones?"
"All of them if possible."
"Even Percy?" Bill asked.
"No, but at least your youngest one," Harry said closing the door.
"Harry what is this about?" Bill asked turning on all his lights.
"He's back," Harry said sitting down across from his friend
"Who is back?" Bill asked sitting down.
"Voldemort, he's back. Look Bill there isn't much time, I need to know where Ron is," Harry said.
"To be honest Harry, none of us really know where he is. I didn't even know he was married until I saw his son today. Ever since the fight Ron has made himself some what scarce."
"His son, what time is it?" Harry asked.
"I already told you, two in the morning."
"All right, Bill, do me a favor, talk to your sister, and your mother, someone in your family has to know where that boy is."
"All right, but can I wait until tomorrow?"
"Yes, I'm going to the Gryffindor Dorm, trying to find the kid."
"Harry," Bill said slightly hesitant.
"What?"
"Ron, he, he named you Harry's god-father. I don't know why, he was still angry with you at the time, but he named the boy after you and he named you the god-father, Hermione is the god-mother."
"Thanks Bill."
"I thought you deserved to know."
"Thanks," with that Harry left.
~~~~~
The men all stood in a large circle, one man stood in the middle, cloaked by the robe, his face and all the other's covered with masks.
"My son, tell me of the sorting?" The man hissed.
"The youngest twin is in Slytherin Father, McCoy and I have made friends with him."
"Excellent, and they're grandfather?"
"He is not ready or prepared for pain."
"Good my young one," Voldemort then turned facing all of his Deatheaters.
"Tomorrow, we begin this war, and we will win!" He yelled as his men stood around him quietly.
~~~~~~
Severus paced the floor of his chambers, his wife watching every nervous movement.
"If you don't stop walking in circles I'm going to hurl," Lea said.
"Xavier and Jason are at danger too," Severus said.
"Jason and Xavier are far too aware of the past, they won't join him.
Besides they remember the repercussions, they remember the late nights you came in, looking like hell on feet."
"Dammit, why did he have to be in Slytherin!" Severus hissed.
"Because it's who he is, you can't stop it Severus, no one can. Not even his father, so stop trying."
"I knew he would return I knew it!" Severus said.
"Severus, tomorrow is another day, let's just take it one day at a time." She said.
