CHRISTMAS AT GRIMAULDS PLACE
Christmas morning was upon them. Harry woke up feeling his lover's hands all over him. He felt Draco kiss and lick his neck and nipples. Harry moaned and smiled at his husband.
"Good morning love, Happy Christmas."
"If you keep waking me up like this Dray I'm going to wish for Christmas every day."
Draco chuckled and kept on kissing Harry. He felt really good this morning and wanted to share his good mood with his green eyed angel. Soon their morning play got hot and heavy. They forgot to place silencing spells on their room. So when the screamed their climax they heard bagging on the walls from both sides and got snide remarks about letting others get their beauty sleep in the morning. Harry and Draco hid under the blankets and started laughing. They got up and took a shower; this time they didn't forget to place silencing charms on the bathroom. Harry couldn't believe the sex drive that Draco had during his pregnancy. Then again since he was a sixteen year old boy he wasn't complaining. He loved how Draco would drag him in dark corners to snog during the most impromptu times of day.
The last time Draco had brought him to the downstairs bathroom to repeat his performance from the day they had left for school in September. Harry had been left a gasping mass of goo. "Man I love the things he does with that tongue ring." Harry always gave back all that he got. He loved making his husband scream his name in ecstasy. He was always careful to not be too rough on Draco because of his now enormous belly. At night Harry would give Draco back rubs and talk softly to his children. He loved both his daughters very much even if he hadn't met them yet. Often he would just hold Draco and rub his belly while Draco relaxed in his arms. As they got closer to the birth of their children Harry would always make sure that Draco was comfortable. They had grown quite close in the last couple of months.
Harry was brought back to the present when Draco came into their bedroom with just a towel on. "Let's get dressed and go downstairs for breakfast. I don't know about you but me I'm famished with all this physical activity." Harry smiled as he watched his husband trying to get dressed. He went over to help him with his shoes.
"Thanks love; I don't know what I'd do without you."
"Well I know you wouldn't be having so much fun in bed in the morning."
"Brat."
"Yes but you love me anyways."
"You know I do, now lets go eat I'm starved and your daughters have been kicking up a storm. So they probably want food too."
The boys made their way downstairs and noticed that Remus and Sirius were already in the kitchen making breakfast. Harry saw the look that passed between his godfather and his husband. Sirius laughed when he gave Harry a small book on silencing charms. He chuckled when he saw Harry blushing and hiding his face in Draco's robes. The four of them were laughing at some stories that Remus was telling them about their time as marauders when Hermione and Ron came down to join them. A few minutes later Severus also made his way to the kitchen. They finished eating and made their way to the sitting room where a tree had been decorated. Tons of presents were waiting for everyone. The four youth were sitting excitedly on the floor while the older men sat in chairs waiting for the distribution of gifts to begin.
Harry took it upon himself to pass out the gifts. And for the next two hours happiness reigned supreme in Grimauld Place. Harry was finally able to enjoy Christmas with people who loved him. It was a far cry from the days where he had to watch the Dursleys open their presents in front of him; he had always been forced to watch even if they never gave him anything. His uncle always made sure to tell him that freaks didn't deserve special gifts. Draco feeling his sudden sadness took him by the hand and told him to take a good look at the people in the room. "Look around Harry; this is your real family. Don't dwell on the past it can only make you miserable." Harry smiled at him and took a good look at his family. He watched as Hermione held on to Ron kissing him while looking at her hand where Ron had placed and engagement ring. Then he looked at Sirius and Remus who were holding hands while talking with Severus about the improvements he had made on some of his experimental potions.
"Your right Dray this is my family, from now on I'll let the past stay in the past. I love you; you always know what to say to make me feel better." He leaned towards his husband and gave him a quick kiss.
For diner professor Dumbledore showed up; so did Moody, Tonks and the rest of the Weasley Clan. Everyone was having a blast. The twins were shocked and surprised when they were made the butt of Remus and Sirius' pranks. The twins were now sporting neon green hair, had rabbit ears, and cat tails.
"Ah my dear Moony, I see that we haven't lost our touch."
"No my dear Padfoot, we still got what it takes." Both men bowed to their audience. It took a few minutes for the twins to understand that they had been pranked by "The Marauders."
"BLOODY HELL George did you hear what they called each other."
"I sure did Fred; this means that our little brother probably knew who they were all along. I think this deserves his own pranks played on him." They turned and face Ron with an evil glint in their eyes. Ron paled seeing how he wasn't going to get out of this one so easily. Hermione laughed while she watched her fiancé being chased around the house by the twins.
Mrs. Weasley made her way to her future daughter in law. She took a good look at Hermione's ring wondering where Ron would have gotten the money for such a ring. Hermione explained that Ron had borrowed money from Harry and was repaying him by doing odd jobs around school on weekends for Hagrid and the professors. Hermione crossed her fingers in her back hoping that Molly would accept the explanation. She certainly wasn't going to tell her that her son was an Elvin Prince who was rich beyond words. He had gone to his diamond mines himself to chose the rock that was on her ring. It had been crafted by and elf elder who specialized in magical jewelry. The diamond itself shone of every color of the rainbow when the light hit it. Hermione had been shocked when Ron had proposed to her in front of all their friends this morning. She was still floating on cloud nine. She couldn't wait to tell her father. They would contact their magical parents once the got back to Hogwarts.
Severus was presently having a discussion with the headmaster telling him of his own powers he had received a few days ago. The aged wizard seemed happy that his long time friend could now hold his own against the dark forces. He asked Severus to show him some of his skills when they returned to school. Severus also told him that they would return to Hogwarts on the twenty ninth and would all be hiding in the chamber so they could train without interruption.
Harry made his way towards his potions teacher and Headmaster. He gave a small wrapped package to Albus. It was an amulet that would permit him to enter the chamber. He placed it around the old wizard's neck and told him that no one but him could use it and that nobody except Harry himself could remove it. The old man thanked Harry.
"It all right professor Dumbledore, I consider you part of my family and I would love for you to come and visit our quarters in the chamber, we can also show you our training facilities that we set up. It is also a place where all of us feel safe from the dangers of the outside world. Each of us regularly meets with our mentors in the chamber. Hey even the Headmaster might need a break. You're always welcome to come and see us. When the babies arrive we will need all the help we can get." Harry laughed when he saw the twinkle in Dumbledore's eyes increase tenfold.
The evening quickly passed with the signing of Christmas carols wizard style and good company. The Weasleys left for the burrow and Tonks and Moody left not to long after. Hermione and Ron were the first to go to bed. The others saw the by way they were touching that Ron was in for a great night being properly thanked for the ring. Hermione had a sexy smirk on her face when she bid everyone goodnight. Severus soon left too. Sirius and Remus who had promised Prince Joshua and his wife that they would spend the next night in the werewolf realm for the full moon also left to go to bed. Sirius snickered and told Harry and Draco not to do anything without silencing charms. Their morning performance was not forgotten.
Harry and Draco were sitting on the couch holding each other and looking at the lights on the tree. Harry started kissing Draco's neck. He licked his earlobe. Hearing the blond moan under his touch he became bolder. He started unbuttoning his shirt. He stopped for a few seconds to get his wand out and place a few silencing charms and a privacy spell. He turned around to look at his beloved. He continued to take of his shirt; kissing every new piece of skin that was revealed as he made his way down to his pants. He took more time kissing his husbands belly telling his daughters that he loved them. Then he took off Draco's pants and boxers. He made Draco lie down on the couch. He took him in his mouth and brought him to a very hard climax. He lied down next to Draco and gave him some time to recover. Draco started touching and undressing Harry. After a few minutes he had him moaning and screaming his name. Their love making now consisted of oral and manual touches. Since Draco was so close to delivery they had decided that penetration might not be a good idea. It was a bit uncomfortable for Draco and since Harry didn't want to hurt his love he agreed. Besides there was so many things they could do and still feel the love for each other in their love making. After they were done Harry wrapped Draco in a warm blanket and carried him to their bedroom where they fell asleep dreaming about what the future held for them.
The next morning Sirius and Remus bid goodbye to everyone and left through a portal that Sirius had made with his staff. They were on their way to Remus' parent's home. When they got there they noticed that it had been decorated in bright red and gold decorations. Sirius who had never seen Moonrise Manor was amazed at the beautiful home that felt strangely welcoming to him. He saw his in-laws making their way to them.
"Remus my son welcome back. I see you brought your wonderful husband this time." Princess Kendra kissed and hugged her son and his mate.
"Hello mother, did you have a good Christmas?"
The Prince answered his question. "Yes we did son, but we kept most of our celebration for today. We have your gifts under the tree and we have a special diner planed for tonight. You will get to meet a few more werewolves tonight, my sister and her family is coming. I will introduce you to them."
Remus' mom turned towards Sirius who was still in awe of the magnificent manor. "Do you like our home Sirius?"
"Yes very much. It's feels like I've come home for some reason and I can't wait to see Remus' transformation tonight. It will be the first time I see him transform without pain."
"Yes with his new powers he can control the pain. He will do fine tonight. The others can't wait to see you Sirius; only Remus and Joshua have seen your transformation. Does it hurt?"
"No actually it doesn't hurt; it's actually a not very well know branch of transfiguration. I can change at will. It had hurt only the first few time until my body go used to the change. Would you like to see my form?"
"I would love that."
Sirius smiled and with a pop he had turned into Padfoot. Kendra was shock to see the grim in her living room. She laughed when he walked up to her and licked her hand. With another pop Sirius changed back.
"Wow that is simply amazing." She turned around and looked at her husband. "We should get him to transform before your "dear" sister gets here so we can have a little fun."
Joshua gave his wife an exasperated look. "That isn't very nice dear."
Kendra mumbled something under her breath that sounded like "neither is your sister". She turned around to look at Remus. "Your aunt might not be very happy about us having found you. She was sure her own son would inherit the title and this manor. But now since Joshua has found his heir your cousin is second in line for the throne until you have your own children. Just be careful around her."
"We will mom, I'll keep and eye on her and make sure she stays away from Remus."
"Thank you Sirius, I know that my son has a good heart and is willing to give anyone a chance so he will probably not be watching out for danger signs from her."
"Hey I can take care of myself." Said the younger werewolf with a huff.
"I know you can love, but I'll watch your back for you anyway."
"You just want an excuse to look at my backside."
"Well it's not my fault; its quite a lovely backside."
Remus rolled his eyes while Kendra laughed at the antics of her son's mate. Yes he was definitely a good man. She loved a man with a sense of humor. Her husband was such a man. The only time she ever saw him serious was when he was dealing with his sister and Vampires. But now that the peace was finally being achieved with the later thanks to her son; the only problem they now had was Lady Marcella and her family of idiots. It would be nothing for his sister to stab Remus in the back while they weren't watching.
Sirius saw the pensive look that his mother in law suddenly had. "Is there something we can help with for tonight?"
"Can I talk in private with you Sirius?"
"Sure, lead the way."
She brought him to the library and closed the door so no one could hear them. "My husband doesn't want to believe it but our spies in Voldemort's circle have told us that my sister in law wants to join with Voldemort. If she does she will bring the downfall of our people. I worry that she will try something to hurt Remus during the full moon tonight. She sees him as an obstacle to her rise in power. I just don't know what to do."
"How about I ask a few of my friends to come here and watch over Remus while he transforms. I know he will probably be vulnerable during his changes since this is only the second he's gone through with his new powers. I will summon my own powers to protect him. No one is going to take my husband away from me." The last part was said in a cold and angry voice. Sirius excused himself to contact the others. He summoned his staff and concentrated on Harry.
(Harry, this is Sirius; are you listening?"
(Yes Sirius what's going on?)
(It seems that Remus' aunt is going to try to hurt him tonight with the help of Voldemort. She wants her son to become Prince so she can ally all the werewolves with him.)
(What!)
(Yes Princess Kendra just told me. She said her husband didn't want to believe her when she warned him. Can some of you come and help me guard Remus and his parents tonight?"
(I'll go for sure; give me a minute to ask the others.) Harry broke the connection but returned to it after five minutes.
(We will all be going tonight. Even Draco since we can't leave him alone here.)
(Thanks Harry. Let me tell Princess Kendra and I'll tell her you will be here right after diner. I will open a portal at eight this evening. Make sure everyone is ready and in the kitchen when I do.)
(Ok Sirius no problem I'll see you then. Please try to enjoy yourself until then.)
Sirius told the princess about the visitors that would be making their way to the manor later that evening. She was happy and felt for the first time in weeks that her son would be safe.
About an hour later a servant came in the sitting room to announce the arrival of Lady Marcella and her son Sir Dellius and two of their bodyguards. Remus didn't like her on the spot. She looked down on him and even made Sirius who had always been a proud pureblood look like a street rat. Sirius not to be surpassed by the bitch waved his hand in front of him and summoned his staff and as usual when he did this his clothes changed to his regal looking red and gold battle robes. He bowed to the Prince and Princess and turned to Lady Marcella.
"It would seem the polite thing to do is to also give you my title fair Lady. I am Sirius Orion Black Gryffin Arch Mage at your service." He finished his tirade with a sweeping bow. Then he gave her a look of loathing sending her a message that she had better not mess with him.
Princess Kendra was the first to get herself back in control from the shock. Her husband's mate was always full of surprise. She silently laughed at the look of fright that her sister in law had on her face. "Good now the bitch will probably keep quiet for a while about her superiority."
Sirius waived his hand in front of Remus who found himself dressed with some of the new dress robes that Sirius had gotten him. They were a beautiful shade of amber with silver and gold moons going all the way around the hems and collar of the robe. Sirius took his hand and kissed it; their wedding rings clearly shone in the light. Showing every other werewolf present that Remus was his mate. He being part canine because of his animagus form understood that this had to be done in public so no one would get ideas about the young Prince being available.
After diner Kendra announced that they would receive more distinguished guests. She nodded to Sirius that it was ok for him to bring the others. Sirius made a portal and went through.
Once in Grimauld Place he told the others to dress for the occasion. He told them how Lady Marcella needed a dose or reality as to her status. So Harry waived his hand in front of Draco and him and they found themselves wearing the robes they had on for their wedding and their crowns. Hermione also changed her clothes to her red formal dress. She rearranged it so it would be a bit more formal and less sensual. She heard the grunt of disappointment coming from Ron who was standing in back of her. She turned around and winked mouthing "Later love".
Ron laughed as he also changed his clothes to his royal dress robes. He also had a crown on his head that was gold with sapphires. He conjured a small golden tiara with rubies and diamonds and placed it on Hermione's head. He kissed her to stop her from protesting.
"In a few months you will be my wife. I already asked my mother if it was ok to use some of the smaller crown jewels for you and she agreed.
"Thank you."
The tuned around to look at Severus who was shaking his head. He didn't like dressing up like a pompous ass. But he still made the effort knowing that his new rank would require it. He waved his hand and suddenly was dressed in a black dress robe which was opened at the top to reveal a white shirt. The collar of his shirt was brought together by a diamond the size of and small egg. The hem of his robe and the end of his sleeves were decorated with silver embroidery in the form of flames. The robe opened at the hips to show off black Dragon hide pants and boots. On his right hand was a silver ring with a black onyx and on his other hand was a gold ring with a diamond. Both represented the Dragon Kings to whom he was bonded.
The others were impressed since they had never seen Severus look so regal before. He looked at everyone and asked them what they were waiting for.
They made their way back to Moonrise Manor and Sirius took his time introducing each one to the Prince's guest.
"Lady Marcella. Please let me present to you my godson Harry Potter he is the Grand Lord of the Phoenix, this is his husband Draco Malfoy who is the Grand Lord of Unicorns." Both men gave a small bow. Sirius saw the calculating look she had while looking at Draco. She probably knew of Voldemort's plant to capture him. She knew she would get on Voldemort's good graces if she brought him the blond wizard.
Sirius turned towards Ron and Hermione. "This is Prince Alderic of the light and dark Elves and his fiancé Princess Hermione of the Vampire realm. She and Remus are responsible for the peace that now exists between the two races." Hermione glided towards Lady Marcella and shook her hand. She smiled showing off her fangs. "I'm please to meet a family member of my good friend Remus." She returned to Ron's side. She didn't see the disgusted look that Lady Marcella made after they had shook hands but Ron didn't and he placed his arm protectively around her waist.
Sirius knew that Hermione had made the gesture to make the werewolf understand that she held Remus in great esteem and wouldn't tolerate anyone hurting him. He continued the introduction by walking towards Severus. He saw recognition in his eyes. The ex-spy had seen the Lady before; probably at a death eaters meeting. "Oh this is going to be good." He thought.
"And last but not least let me present you to Dragon Master Sorcerer Severus Snape."
Severus gave a small bow to Lady Marcella and turned and bowed deeper to Prince Joshua and Princess Kendra showing them proper respect for their higher rank. In the corner of his eye he could see the hate and anger coming from the female werewolf. Severus placed both his hands in his sleeves. No one knew that he was forming a spell under there. He smiled and made his way towards Lady Marcella. He held his hand out to shake hers in greeting.
"It is an honor to meet you My Lady." He shook her hand and sent the spell through their connection. Remus and Sirius saw the smirk that was on Severus' face after the greeting. He walked back to them and taped his head twice with his finger. It was their signal to open their mind so that he could communicate with them. Since all of them now had magical powers beyond the normal limit all of them could use telepathy.
(Now that I have both your attention. I've used a spell that will let her remember who we are but she won't be able to tell anyone not even under the effects of verisaterum.)
(Good thinking Severus; you seemed to recognize her. Where would you have met her?)
(She is one of Voldemort's new allies. She promised Voldemort the allegiance of the Werewolf realm if he helped her get control of the Royal house. I think that your appearance Remus has set her plans back a bit.)
(DAM we will have to keep an eye out for her tonight so that she doesn't hurt my parents.)
(Yes we will love and we will also make sure that she doesn't hurt you too.)
Everyone sat in the sitting room talking about politics and the difference between worlds when they noticed that it was time for the werewolves to head to the clearing to change. The moon was about to rise. The others followed and watched as the werewolves started to howl at the moon. Sirius changed into his dog form and made his way towards Remus who was a bit slower changing. He smelled a female werewolf making her way towards Remus. He started to run towards them. He reached Remus just in time to jump up and make him fall down. The other werewolf who tried to hurt Remus lost her balance and fell on the ground next to them. She took out a silver blade out of a bag and tried again to attack Remus. Severus seeing that they were in trouble used his fire whip to remove the knife from her hand. He also used it to remove an amulet that she had around her neck. When he saw what it was he knew why she had been able to wield a silver dagger. The amulet had a special protection charm that protected the wearer from silver.
Remus looked in shock at the dagger that had fallen on the ground two feet from where he was. Just being near so much silver sent wave of dizziness through him. Harry walked up to the dagger and banished it to the armory in the chamber of secret. He would deal with it later. He turned around and conjured some ropes to tie down Lady Marcella. She would be tried in the werewolf courts the next day. Draco placed a protection spell on Remus so he could spend the rest of his night in peace.
Hermione walked up to Sir Dellius and said "I know you can understand me. If you try anything tonight to hurt anyone in the royal family I will make sure that you also get tried for treason against your Prince. I will personally ask to be the one to carry out your sentence. I hear werewolf blood is particularly good at this time of year." She smiled evilly at him and licked her lips making sure he saw her fangs. The werewolf whimpered when he heard the treat from the Vampire. Ron was in the process of holding back the two bodyguards; he finally had to tied them down also.
The rest of the night was very quiet. Everyone was subdued because of the events that went on earlier. In the morning the Remus, Sirius and their friends left to go back home to Grimauld Place. Once there Remus made his way to his room to rest. Sirius joined him knowing that he would be upset about the attack.
Harry looked on as the animagus left to take care of his husband. He turned towards Draco who looked to be quite tired too. "Lets got to bed love. Don't get up; let me carry you upstairs." He lifted Draco and noticed that half way up the stairs that the blond was sleeping in his arms. He used a spell to remove Draco's clothe leaving him in his boxers and did the same to himself. He laid down next to him and fell asleep. Tomorrow would be a busy day as they had to start packing to go back to school.

CHRISTMAS AT GRIMAULDS PLACE

When they got there they noticed that it had been decorated in bright red and gold decorations. Sirius who had never seen Moonrise Manor was amazed at the beautiful home that felt strangely welcoming to him. He saw his in-laws making their way to them.
"Remus my son welcome back. I see you brought your wonderful husband this time." Princess Kendra kissed and hugged her son and his mate.
"Hello mother, did you have a good Christmas?"
The Prince answered his question. "Yes we did son, but we kept most of our celebration for today. We have your gifts under the tree and we have a special diner planed for tonight. You will get to meet a few more werewolves tonight, my sister and her family is coming. I will introduce you to them."
Remus' mom turned towards Sirius who was still in awe of the magnificent manor. "Do you like our home Sirius?"
"Yes very much. It's feels like I've come home for some reason and I can't wait to see Remus' transformation tonight. It will be the first time I see him transform without pain."
"Yes with his new powers he can control the pain. He will do fine tonight. The others can't wait to see you Sirius; only Remus and Joshua have seen your transformation. Does it hurt?"
"No actually it doesn't hurt; it's actually a not very well know branch of transfiguration. I can change at will. It had hurt only the first few time until my body go used to the change. Would you like to see my form?"
"I would love that."
Sirius smiled and with a pop he had turned into Padfoot. Kendra was shock to see the grim in her living room. She laughed when he walked up to her and licked her hand. With another pop Sirius changed back.
"Wow that is simply amazing." She turned around and looked at her husband. "We should get him to transform before your "dear" sister gets here so we can have a little fun."
Joshua gave his wife an exasperated look. "That isn't very nice dear."
Kendra mumbled something under her breath that sounded like "neither is your sister". She turned around to look at Remus. "Your aunt might not be very happy about us having found you. She was sure her own son would inherit the title and this manor. But now since Joshua has found his heir your cousin is second in line for the throne until you have your own children. Just be careful around her."
"We will mom, I'll keep and eye on her and make sure she stays away from Remus."
"Thank you Sirius, I know that my son has a good heart and is willing to give anyone a chance so he will probably not be watching out for danger signs from her."
"Hey I can take care of myself." Said the younger werewolf with a huff.
"I know you can love, but I'll watch your back for you anyway."
"You just want an excuse to look at my backside."
"Well it's not my fault; its quite a lovely backside."
Remus rolled his eyes while Kendra laughed at the antics of her son's mate. Yes he was definitely a good man. She loved a man with a sense of humor. Her husband was such a man. The only time she ever saw him serious was when he was dealing with his sister and Vampires. But now that the peace was finally being achieved with the later thanks to her son; the only problem they now had was Lady Marcella and her family of idiots. It would be nothing for his sister to stab Remus in the back while they weren't watching.
Sirius saw the pensive look that his mother in law suddenly had. "Is there something we can help with for tonight?"
"Can I talk in private with you Sirius?"
"Sure, lead the way."
She brought him to the library and closed the door so no one could hear them. "My husband doesn't want to believe it but our spies in Voldemort's circle have told us that my sister in law wants to join with Voldemort. If she does she will bring the downfall of our people. I worry that she will try something to hurt Remus during the full moon tonight. She sees him as an obstacle to her rise in power. I just don't know what to do."
"How about I ask a few of my friends to come here and watch over Remus while he transforms. I know he will probably be vulnerable during his changes since this is only the second he's gone through with his new powers. I will summon my own powers to protect him. No one is going to take my husband away from me." The last part was said in a cold and angry voice. Sirius excused himself to contact the others. He summoned his staff and concentrated on Harry.
(Harry, this is Sirius; are you listening?"
(Yes Sirius what's going on?)
(It seems that Remus' aunt is going to try to hurt him tonight with the help of Voldemort. She wants her son to become Prince so she can ally all the werewolves with him.)
(What!)
(Yes Princess Kendra just told me. She said her husband didn't want to believe her when she warned him. Can some of you come and help me guard Remus and his parents tonight?"
(I'll go for sure; give me a minute to ask the others.) Harry broke the connection but returned to it after five minutes.
(We will all be going tonight. Even Draco since we can't leave him alone here.)
(Thanks Harry. Let me tell Princess Kendra and I'll tell her you will be here right after diner. I will open a portal at eight this evening. Make sure everyone is ready and in the kitchen when I do.)
(Ok Sirius no problem I'll see you then. Please try to enjoy yourself until then.)
Sirius told the princess about the visitors that would be making their way to the manor later that evening. She was happy and felt for the first time in weeks that her son would be safe.
About an hour later a servant came in the sitting room to announce the arrival of Lady Marcella and her son Sir Dellius and two of their bodyguards. Remus didn't like her on the spot. She looked down on him and even made Sirius who had always been a proud pureblood look like a street rat. Sirius not to be surpassed by the bitch waved his hand in front of him and summoned his staff and as usual when he did this his clothes changed to his regal looking red and gold battle robes. He bowed to the Prince and Princess and turned to Lady Marcella.
"It would seem the polite thing to do is to also give you my title fair Lady. I am Sirius Orion Black Gryffin Arch Mage at your service." He finished his tirade with a sweeping bow. Then he gave her a look of loathing sending her a message that she had better not mess with him.
Princess Kendra was the first to get herself back in control from the shock. Her husband's mate was always full of surprise. She silently laughed at the look of fright that her sister in law had on her face. "Good now the bitch will probably keep quiet for a while about her superiority."
Sirius waived his hand in front of Remus who found himself dressed with some of the new dress robes that Sirius had gotten him. They were a beautiful shade of amber with silver and gold moons going all the way around the hems and collar of the robe. Sirius took his hand and kissed it; their wedding rings clearly shone in the light. Showing every other werewolf present that Remus was his mate. He being part canine because of his animagus form understood that this had to be done in public so no one would get ideas about the young Prince being available.
After diner Kendra announced that they would receive more distinguished guests. She nodded to Sirius that it was ok for him to bring the others. Sirius made a portal and went through.
Once in Grimauld Place he told the others to dress for the occasion. He told them how Lady Marcella needed a dose or reality as to her status. So Harry waived his hand in front of Draco and him and they found themselves wearing the robes they had on for their wedding and their crowns. Hermione also changed her clothes to her red formal dress. She rearranged it so it would be a bit more formal and less sensual. She heard the grunt of disappointment coming from Ron who was standing in back of her. She turned around and winked mouthing "Later love".
Ron laughed as he also changed his clothes to his royal dress robes. He also had a crown on his head that was gold with sapphires. He conjured a small golden tiara with rubies and diamonds and placed it on Hermione's head. He kissed her to stop her from protesting.
"In a few months you will be my wife. I already asked my mother if it was ok to use some of the smaller crown jewels for you and she agreed.
"Thank you."
The tuned around to look at Severus who was shaking his head. He didn't like dressing up like a pompous ass. But he still made the effort knowing that his new rank would require it. He waved his hand and suddenly was dressed in a black dress robe which was opened at the top to reveal a white shirt. The collar of his shirt was brought together by a diamond the size of and small egg. The hem of his robe and the end of his sleeves were decorated with silver embroidery in the form of flames. The robe opened at the hips to show off black Dragon hide pants and boots. On his right hand was a silver ring with a black onyx and on his other hand was a gold ring with a diamond. Both represented the Dragon Kings to whom he was bonded.
The others were impressed since they had never seen Severus look so regal before. He looked at everyone and asked them what they were waiting for.
They made their way back to Moonrise Manor and Sirius took his time introducing each one to the Prince's guest.
"Lady Marcella. Please let me present to you my godson Harry Potter he is the Grand Lord of the Phoenix, this is his husband Draco Malfoy who is the Grand Lord of Unicorns." Both men gave a small bow. Sirius saw the calculating look she had while looking at Draco. She probably knew of Voldemort's plant to capture him. She knew she would get on Voldemort's good graces if she brought him the blond wizard.
Sirius turned towards Ron and Hermione. "This is Prince Alderic of the light and dark Elves and his fiancé Princess Hermione of the Vampire realm. She and Remus are responsible for the peace that now exists between the two races." Hermione glided towards Lady Marcella and shook her hand. She smiled showing off her fangs. "I'm please to meet a family member of my good friend Remus." She returned to Ron's side. She didn't see the disgusted look that Lady Marcella made after they had shook hands but Ron didn't and he placed his arm protectively around her waist.
Sirius knew that Hermione had made the gesture to make the werewolf understand that she held Remus in great esteem and wouldn't tolerate anyone hurting him. He continued the introduction by walking towards Severus. He saw recognition in his eyes. The ex-spy had seen the Lady before; probably at a death eaters meeting. "Oh this is going to be good." He thought.
"And last but not least let me present you to Dragon Master Sorcerer Severus Snape."
Severus gave a small bow to Lady Marcella and turned and bowed deeper to Prince Joshua and Princess Kendra showing them proper respect for their higher rank. In the corner of his eye he could see the hate and anger coming from the female werewolf. Severus placed both his hands in his sleeves. No one knew that he was forming a spell under there. He smiled and made his way towards Lady Marcella. He held his hand out to shake hers in greeting.
"It is an honor to meet you My Lady." He shook her hand and sent the spell through their connection. Remus and Sirius saw the smirk that was on Severus' face after the greeting. He walked back to them and taped his head twice with his finger. It was their signal to open their mind so that he could communicate with them. Since all of them now had magical powers beyond the normal limit all of them could use telepathy.
(Now that I have both your attention. I've used a spell that will let her remember who we are but she won't be able to tell anyone not even under the effects of verisaterum.)
(Good thinking Severus; you seemed to recognize her. Where would you have met her?)
(She is one of Voldemort's new allies. She promised Voldemort the allegiance of the Werewolf realm if he helped her get control of the Royal house. I think that your appearance Remus has set her plans back a bit.)
(DAM we will have to keep an eye out for her tonight so that she doesn't hurt my parents.)
(Yes we will love and we will also make sure that she doesn't hurt you too.)
Everyone sat in the sitting room talking about politics and the difference between worlds when they noticed that it was time for the werewolves to head to the clearing to change. The moon was about to rise. The others followed and watched as the werewolves started to howl at the moon. Sirius changed into his dog form and made his way towards Remus who was a bit slower changing. He smelled a female werewolf making her way towards Remus. He started to run towards them. He reached Remus just in time to jump up and make him fall down. The other werewolf who tried to hurt Remus lost her balance and fell on the ground next to them. She took out a silver blade out of a bag and tried again to attack Remus. Severus seeing that they were in trouble used his fire whip to remove the knife from her hand. He also used it to remove an amulet that she had around her neck. When he saw what it was he knew why she had been able to wield a silver dagger. The amulet had a special protection charm that protected the wearer from silver.
Remus looked in shock at the dagger that had fallen on the ground two feet from where he was. Just being near so much silver sent wave of dizziness through him. Harry walked up to the dagger and banished it to the armory in the chamber of secret. He would deal with it later. He turned around and conjured some ropes to tie down Lady Marcella. She would be tried in the werewolf courts the next day. Draco placed a protection spell on Remus so he could spend the rest of his night in peace.
Hermione walked up to Sir Dellius and said "I know you can understand me. If you try anything tonight to hurt anyone in the royal family I will make sure that you also get tried for treason against your Prince. I will personally ask to be the one to carry out your sentence. I hear werewolf blood is particularly good at this time of year." She smiled evilly at him and licked her lips making sure he saw her fangs. The werewolf whimpered when he heard the treat from the Vampire. Ron was in the process of holding back the two bodyguards; he finally had to tied them down also.
The rest of the night was very quiet. Everyone was subdued because of the events that went on earlier. In the morning the Remus, Sirius and their friends left to go back home to Grimauld Place. Once there Remus made his way to his room to rest. Sirius joined him knowing that he would be upset about the attack.
Harry looked on as the animagus left to take care of his husband. He turned towards Draco who looked to be quite tired too. "Lets got to bed love. Don't get up; let me carry you upstairs." He lifted Draco and noticed that half way up the stairs that the blond was sleeping in his arms. He used a spell to remove Draco's clothe leaving him in his boxers and did the same to himself. He laid down next to him and fell asleep. Tomorrow would be a busy day as they had to start packing to go back to school.
