Making their way through the castle they noticed that they were being followed by something in the shadows. Harry took Draco's hand and kept a sharp eye out for trouble. He would not let anything happen to his family.
(Draco I want you to go to Severus 'quarters. I think all our guardians are having a meeting there. I want to get a look at our stalker.) Draco silently told him to be careful. They separated, Draco heading towards the dungeons and Harry disappearing in the shadows. This would give him a chance to practice on his stealth. Making sure that the thing that was following them wasn't interested in Draco he started making his way closer to where he felt the presence. Something told him it wasn't human. As he got closer to it he heard a voice. He had a feeling of déjà vu. He stopped to listen carefully.
--sssstupid humansssss, how can they live in ssssssuch a cold place. I can't find my wayssssss out now.—
Harry recognizing parceltongue crept closer to the voice and finally saw the snake lying in a corner. -- What do you wantssss little sssssnake? Are you lossssst?—
-- Ssssspeaker I wasssss brought here by ssssssomeone who wanted me to harm you. I'm to poisssssson you mate. But I don't want to hurtsssss anyone. Pleassse help me. I'm sssssso cold.--
-- Do you wantssss to come with me. My mate isssss alssssso a sssssspeaker. We could give you a home wheressssss you would not have to hurtssss anyone and it would be warm.--
-- Yesssss I would love that. Thankssss.--
Harry picked up the snake and saw that she was about three feet long, completely white with ocean blue eyes. She wrapped herself around Harry's shoulders and laid her head near Harry's neck.
-- What isssss your name?--
-- My name is kisssssha, my old masssster ussssed to call me kisssss.--
-- Thatsssss a pretty name.--
--Thanksssss.—
Harry kept on talking with her until he reached the potion master's quarters. He knocked at the door and was let in by is nervous husband who was looking him over to make sure he wasn't hurt. "I'm ok Draco; I've actually met a new friend." Harry lifted Kiss from his shoulder and showed her to Draco.
"Wow love, she's very pretty what's her name."
"Her name is Kisha but she said that we can call her kiss."
-- Hello little one, my name issss Draco, my mate ssssays your our new friend.—
-- Yessss I don't want to hurtssss anyone but the perssssson who brought me here wantssss you to be poissssssoned by me.—
"Draco, I think that maybe someone following orders from Voldemort might have let her loose in the castle thinking she would poison you. That bastard wants to hurt me by getting to you. We really need to keep the twins a secret from the outside world until were ready to beat him."
"He's right Draco, if someone is a spy for Voldemort and is keeping tabs on you we will have to be more careful." Harry jumped at hearing the potion master sneak up on them. He looked over Draco's shoulder and saw their three guardians looking at them with a worried look on their face. The want into the sitting room and started talking about who could be the spy. Since Severus had given up his cover to save Draco's life the Slytherin house was weary of him. And because of Draco's relationship with Harry they didn't talk to him anymore except to insult him and call him traitor.
Draco stopped listening to the others to place a hand on his stomach. He thought he felt something but just shrugged it off as his imagination. (Love should we tell them about the twins, I think they were pretty worried about us this afternoon.)
(Yes, I let you have the honor of telling them about our daughters. Should we tell them the names we decided on too?)
(Sure why not. They'll probably pry it out of us eventually.)
Draco turned towards the three men who had noticed that the two younger wizards weren't paying attention to them anymore. Sirius was trying to hide his laugher while Remus just shook his head. Severus scowled at his godson then rolled his eyes when the two boys looked at them with innocent looks. "Now if you two are finished discussing other maters while we try to find ways to protect you; maybe you can start listening to us again. If it's not too much to ask." Severus had crossed his arms and glared at the young couple. Draco looked at his godfather and smiled. He was used to Severus' moods so nothing really fazed him when it came to the airs his godfather would take when he was pissed.
"Sev, Harry and I have new for you two. As you know were having twins but we also found out what were having. Would you like to know?"
Sirius jumped up when Draco told them that they knew the sex of the babies.
"Oh tell us already Draco, I've had enough suspense to last me a lifetime already."
Harry was laughing at him. "Come on Dray let's tell them; at their age I don't know if they will survive the shock."
All three men huffed at the implication that they were old. Draco took Harry's hand in his and smiled at him. Then he looked at the three older men and started to explain what the healer at told him.
"The first thing is even if I'm only one month pregnant as per the scans it's more like two months and a half. I will be giving birth in approximately four months to four months and a half. We are having two girls. One will be called Lily and the other will be called Marguerite. We want Remus to be their godfather since you two already are ours. What do you say Remus?"
"I would love that, but are you sure; with what I am it may not be a wise choice."
Harry gave his adoptive uncle a hug. "I trust you with my life Remus and I also trust you with my children's. Please don't worry about our babies being safe near you. They will learn to love you as we do."
Remus had tears in his eyes. Being a werewolf is what had kept him from being Harry's godfather but that was before the wolfbane potion. Lily had wanted him to be godfather since he had always been more responsible than Sirius but now he was happy with the choice he knew that he wouldn't have been able to take care of Harry after his parents had been killed. He barely was able to keep himself alive back then. Remus took a deep breath and looked up at his lover. Sirius who was smiling at him took him in his arms and kissed him deeply. He knew that Remus always wanted kids of their own; but it was an impossible dream. So they would settle for spoiling their godchildren. Severus rolled his eyes at the affectionate display but secretly he had always hoped to find the special one that would love him too. But he had long ago given up on that too. Just like the two others all his affection was passed on to his godchild and soon he would have two little ones to love also even if he didn't know how to show his feelings he would make sure that they were happy and safe.
"Now that the two mutts have slobbered all over themselves I suggest we make an appearance in the great hall for diner or they will send a search party." Severus got up and indicated the door making sure the others understood that the meeting was over and that it was time to eat.
Draco left making sure one more time that the glamour was hiding his stomach. He didn't want to take any chances. Harry had transfigured and old jar into a tank for Kiss and he left her in Severus' rooms so she could sleep under a warming charm. The two boys made their way to the Gryffindor table to sit with their friends. Harry noticed that Ron was quiet all through diner and when he was done he silently left the table. Draco gave Harry and look and a nod indicating for him to follow the red head. (Go ahead love, I think Ron is starting to miss you and is feeling left out. I think we will have to better divide our time between training and keeping in touch with the rest of the wizarding world.)
(Your right Dray, I'll go up and get the map to see where he's gone and I'll have a talk with him.)
Harry kissed his husband and bid the others at the table goodbye and left for the tower where he retrieved his map and started looking for his red haired friend. He finally spotted Ron's name on the map; he was in the room of requirements. Harry made his way to the room and paced three times in front of the door thinking of having to find Ron before the door appeared. When he went in he saw a room full of weapons. The wall in front of him was full of daggers, swords and axes while the wall to the left was full of arrows and bows and even a few staffs. Harry was looking wide eyed at the display. "What the hell is going on here?" He saw another door where he could hear noises it sounded like metal hitting against metal. He slowly walked towards the door and looked inside. He was surprised with what he saw. Ron was in the room fighting what looked like a dummy. He was standing in nothing buy a pair of pants no shirt and no shoes and was holding a sword made of gold with rubies. He was sparing with the dummy. He was quite good at what he was doing. He blocked a blow that was aimed for his head. He had his back to Harry so he didn't see him enter the room. Harry watched as Ron kept on battling the dummy. Finally the dummy was able to disarm Ron who swore. "Bloody hell, I've got to get this right." He stopped moving and Harry got a good look at Ron's back. He had a tattoo on his back; actually it was more like about ten tattoos. All of them were little blue squares with runes in them. He had two on each shoulder and the rest were running along his spine. Harry couldn't make out what they meant. He kept observing his friend until he heard a voice talking to Ron. "Ah young guardian, you have no reason to be mad at yourself, after all you've just started your training three weeks ago."
"That may be Alron but I have to get better so I can protect them both. It is my duty is it not. I just wish there were more hours in a day so I could practice and get better. Can you tell me again why you chose me instead of someone more powerful?"
"Yes young one you do have a duty to the two Lords. You were not chosen. You were placed in this world for a reason; because your heart is pure and your nobility surpasses all others. Not many have the honor of being protectors to the Phoenix child and Unicorn child. You young prince have been born to human parents in this world for the same reason that they have been born into it. The three of you will defeat the evil that threatens all the worlds. Although is it not your duty to fight Voldemort directly like they have to; you still have to make sure that their path to the dark Lord is clear during the final battle. You are a warrior, guardian of the light and elf prince it is your duty to fight alongside your friends. Now if you want more time I might be able to arrange it. Have you ever heard of a time turner?" Ron shook his head like he still couldn't believe that it was about him that the elder elf was talking about. He threw his sword at a target on the wall hitting the mark easily. Then he answered the question he had been asked.
"Yes a few years ago one of my friends used one to get to more classes then what is normally allowed." He smiled while thinking of the girl who was his friend. He now knew how Harry felt having to keep things secret from his other friends. "Lord Alron will I be able to tell Harry and Draco soon about me being their protector. You know with all their powers they will probably think that it is strange for them to have a guardian."
"Yes they have powers to defeat the dark lord but will need all the help they can get with all the other dark creatures that fight alongside Voldemort. I hate to say this but when your training is finished you will be a well trained assassin. Your job on the battle field will be to get the two Lords to Voldemort no mater what the means you have to use; and that will mean to kill many creatures that the two Lords wont have the heart to touch."
"Have you though that maybe I don't want to kill either. I really don't feel good about becoming an assassin as you put it. I just don't know if I can do this." Ron fell to his knees and held his head in his hands. He knew that he had no choice but he still hated it. Yet he would do anything to protect Harry and even Draco.
"My prince I think this is enough for tonight. Go and rest, talk and play with your friends. We will continue this tomorrow."
"As you wish Alron. I'll see you at the same time tomorrow." Ron got up and turned around and saw that he wasn't alone in the room. "HARRY!"
"Ron what is going on here? Is what he said true? You're a guardian of the light and elf prince?"
"Yes Harry just like you I have been placed in the human world to help defeat evil. I just found out three weeks ago. I was starting to find it hard to keep this secret so I'm kind of glad that you caught me." Ron gave Harry a shy smile. Then he remembered his manors. He got up and bowed to Harry then got down on one knee. "I am Prince Alderic Ronuldus Navir son of queen Adira, I swear by my life that I will fight the evils in this world and protect you Grand Lord Phoenix." He wandlessly called for his sword which was still embedded in the wall and placed it in front of Harry feet. Harry picked up the sword and handed it to Ron.
"I Grand Lord Phoenix am honored to have such a guard. Rise Prince Alderic my friend and stand by my side in the fight against evil." Ron got up and smiled to his friend. He gave Harry a hug and asked if it was ok to go and see Draco so he could repeat his wow to him so that he could keep on fulfilling his duty.
"Sure follow me I'll take you to him." (Draco I hope your up for a visit I have quite a surprise for you.)
(I'm in the chamber practicing my beast speaking abilities with Hedwig. She's quite a smart bird; and funny too. I told our guardians that you went after Ron after diner. They were saying that they noticed that he was acting strangely for the past couple of weeks. They're here with me right now. Have you found out anything?)
(You'll find out soon love. I'm almost there.)
Harry who had been talking to Draco had not noticed that Ron had brought his sword with him. Ron had placed a charm on his weapons so that no one would noticed them. "I might not be fully trained but that's no reason to get caught without any means to defend ourselves." He was brought out of his thoughts when Harry stopped in front of the girl's bathroom. He paled when he thought of the last time they had both been there.
"Er... Harry what are we doing here?"
"Come on Ron you'll understand in a minute. Just follow me and I'll answer your questions later." He snickered at the look on his friends face. He walked up to the sink – OPEN--. The passageway opened and he jumped down the tunnel. Ron took a deep breath and followed him. When he got down he saw that the mess that was there before had disappeared. He kept on following Harry until they came up to the living quarters that the two Lords had built. Harry let him into the sitting room where Draco was sitting talking to Severus, Remus and Sirius. Draco's eyes went wide when he saw Ron. To Harry's surprise when he turned around to look at Ron he saw that he was no longer dressed in his regular pants and Weasley jumper. He had an elven robe on with runes running along the edge of his sleeves and collar. His robes were a deep royal blue with golden runes he also had a crown similar to the ones they had on when they got married; his was gold with sapphires and diamonds embedded in it. He stepped up to Draco and again fell to one knee.
"I am Prince Alderic Ronuldus Navir son of queen Adira, I swear by my life that I will fight the evils in this world and protect you Grand Lord of Unicorns." He placed his sword at Draco's feet and waited.
Automatically Draco got up and took Ron's sword to hand it back to him. "I Grand Lord of Unicorns am honored to have such a guard. Rise Prince Alderic and stand by my side as my friend so that we may defeat the evil that plagues this world." Draco was still a bit shocked at seeing Ron as an Elvin Prince but started laughing. "I should have know Ron that there was a reason why you were able to stay friends with Harry all through his adventures. You have the noble heart of an elf. I'm glad to count you as one of my friends now." Draco gave Ron a hug surprising him. Ron hugged him back but then stepped back. He had felt some strange kind of magic surrounding Draco's stomach. With a wave of his hand he removed the spell hiding the pregnancy. He gasped at what he saw. Then he smiled and turned towards Harry. "Well, well I see that you two are a lot more serious that you let on."
Harry just started blushing as Ron gave him a speculative look. "My Lord just how serious are the two of you in your relationship?"
"We are married, and have been for a month now. Draco is pregnant with our twins. In a little over four months he will give birth to our two daughters. I'm glad that you are our protector as they will surely need extra protection from Voldemort. He's already sent a snake to poison Draco. We are lucky that Kiss wasn't an evil snake and didn't want to hurt anyone."
"I see that my help is needed. Just give me a few minutes I have to check on something."
Ron stepped outside of their quarters into the grand hall of the chamber. The other five wizards followed him curious as to see what he was going to do. Ron stood still and extended his hands towards the ceiling. He started chanting in an old elfish language that had been long forgotten only to be revealed to the protectors. As he chanted he started glowing bright red. The highest color of power amongst the elves. He started to walk around the hall going from corner to corner not missing anything. It took him almost an hour to finish what he was doing. He turned around to see that the others were still watching him. He walked towards them but suddenly felt himself grow weak. He had used so much energy in warding the chamber with Elvin magic that he was worn out. He looked at Harry before passing out. Harry ran to him and checked him out.
"He's ok just worn out, he will be better after a few hours sleep. Did any of you recognize the spell that he used?" The other men shook their heads; none had understood what Ron had done. They decided that the three professors would leave the chamber and wait for the three students to show up later then they would be able to question Ron.

Making sure that the thing that was following them wasn't interested in Draco he started making his way closer to where he felt the presence. Something told him it wasn't human. As he got closer to it he heard a voice. He had a feeling of déjà vu. He stopped to listen carefully.
--sssstupid humansssss, how can they live in ssssssuch a cold place. I can't find my wayssssss out now.—
Harry recognizing parceltongue crept closer to the voice and finally saw the snake lying in a corner. -- What do you wantssss little sssssnake? Are you lossssst?—
-- Ssssspeaker I wasssss brought here by ssssssomeone who wanted me to harm you. I'm to poisssssson you mate. But I don't want to hurtsssss anyone. Pleassse help me. I'm sssssso cold.--
-- Do you wantssss to come with me. My mate isssss alssssso a sssssspeaker. We could give you a home wheressssss you would not have to hurtssss anyone and it would be warm.--
-- Yesssss I would love that. Thankssss.--
Harry picked up the snake and saw that she was about three feet long, completely white with ocean blue eyes. She wrapped herself around Harry's shoulders and laid her head near Harry's neck.
-- What isssss your name?--
-- My name is kisssssha, my old masssster ussssed to call me kisssss.--

(I'm in the chamber practicing my beast speaking abilities with Hedwig. She's quite a smart bird; and funny too. I told our guardians that you went after Ron after diner.

(You'll find out soon love. I'm almost there.)
Harry who had been talking to Draco had not noticed that Ron had brought his sword with him. Ron had placed a charm on his weapons so that no one would noticed them. "I might not be fully trained but that's no reason to get caught without any means to defend ourselves." He was brought out of his thoughts when Harry stopped in front of the girl's bathroom. He paled when he thought of the last time they had both been there.
"Er... Harry what are we doing here?"
"Come on Ron you'll understand in a minute. Just follow me and I'll answer your questions later." He snickered at the look on his friends face. He walked up to the sink – OPEN--. The passageway opened and he jumped down the tunnel. Ron took a deep breath and followed him. When he got down he saw that the mess that was there before had disappeared. He kept on following Harry until they came up to the living quarters that the two Lords had built. Harry let him into the sitting room where Draco was sitting talking to Severus, Remus and Sirius. Draco's eyes went wide when he saw Ron. To Harry's surprise when he turned around to look at Ron he saw that he was no longer dressed in his regular pants and Weasley jumper. He had an elven robe on with runes running along the edge of his sleeves and collar. His robes were a deep royal blue with golden runes he also had a crown similar to the ones they had on when they got married; his was gold with sapphires and diamonds embedded in it. He stepped up to Draco and again fell to one knee.
"I am Prince Alderic Ronuldus Navir son of queen Adira, I swear by my life that I will fight the evils in this world and protect you Grand Lord of Unicorns." He placed his sword at Draco's feet and waited.
Automatically Draco got up and took Ron's sword to hand it back to him. "I Grand Lord of Unicorns am honored to have such a guard. Rise Prince Alderic and stand by my side as my friend so that we may defeat the evil that plagues this world." Draco was still a bit shocked at seeing Ron as an Elvin Prince but started laughing. "I should have know Ron that there was a reason why you were able to stay friends with Harry all through his adventures. You have the noble heart of an elf. I'm glad to count you as one of my friends now." Draco gave Ron a hug surprising him. Ron hugged him back but then stepped back. He had felt some strange kind of magic surrounding Draco's stomach. With a wave of his hand he removed the spell hiding the pregnancy. He gasped at what he saw. Then he smiled and turned towards Harry. "Well, well I see that you two are a lot more serious that you let on."
Harry just started blushing as Ron gave him a speculative look. "My Lord just how serious are the two of you in your relationship?"
"We are married, and have been for a month now. Draco is pregnant with our twins. In a little over four months he will give birth to our two daughters. I'm glad that you are our protector as they will surely need extra protection from Voldemort. He's already sent a snake to poison Draco. We are lucky that Kiss wasn't an evil snake and didn't want to hurt anyone."
"I see that my help is needed. Just give me a few minutes I have to check on something."
Ron stepped outside of their quarters into the grand hall of the chamber. The other five wizards followed him curious as to see what he was going to do. Ron stood still and extended his hands towards the ceiling. He started chanting in an old elfish language that had been long forgotten only to be revealed to the protectors. As he chanted he started glowing bright red. The highest color of power amongst the elves. He started to walk around the hall going from corner to corner not missing anything. It took him almost an hour to finish what he was doing. He turned around to see that the others were still watching him. He walked towards them but suddenly felt himself grow weak. He had used so much energy in warding the chamber with Elvin magic that he was worn out. He looked at Harry before passing out. Harry ran to him and checked him out.
"He's ok just worn out, he will be better after a few hours sleep. Did any of you recognize the spell that he used?" The other men shook their heads; none had understood what Ron had done. They decided that the three professors would leave the chamber and wait for the three students to show up later then they would be able to question Ron.
