Hi everyone, sorry for taking so long to update. I just got caught up in my new story. But now that it is done, I can come back to this one. Thanks for my reviews. I won't be getting a beta; sorry I just write this for fun.

I don't own Harry Potter and Co.

-PLANS OF ATTACK AND DEFENSE-

Voldemort had a plan. He decided to boldly launch an attack on the ministry of magic. Thanks to his spies he knew exactly the number of aurors and unspeakables were on the payroll of the ministry. His plan was to attack and kill the minister and his closest aids. Leaving the wizarding world in chaos. With their leaders gone, they would crumble from within.

He had death eaters trained to attack the wards. He knew they would fall eventually, since they weren't has strong as the ones on Hogwarts. He had trained assassins who would seek out pre-assigned victims. The demons would handle any outside help that would arrive.

His werewolf and vampire forces would search and destroy any other witch or wizard hiding within the building. The plan was set for the next day.

Voldemort sat on his throne laughing madly. His next target would be Hogwarts, once the ministry falls, the school and its headmaster would be next. He kept on making plans and having meetings with his death eaters deep into the night.

Meanwhile at school, deep in the chamber of secrets, two young lovers were intertwined in each others arms. They had just finished making love for the fourth time that night. Trying to catch his breath, Harry was still in a post orgasmic haze. Draco had been very dominant tonight and only after the fourth round had he collapsed fully sated.

"Wow, Dray were did you get all that energy?"

"I don't know, all that I have been thinking all night was getting you in bed. I guess you have that effect on me."

"What effect, to turn you into an animal in bed?" Harry laughed at Draco's indignant huff. Then he got serious and held the blond to him. "Don't change Dray that was absolutely amazing." He purred into Draco's ear, sending a shiver down his husbands back.

"Keep talking to me like that, and we'll be heading for round five."

They started kissing and rolling around in bed. They were both laughing as their play turned into a tickling war. Soon the tickling turned to something else, and laughter changed to moans.

In another room two other lovers were rolling their eyes at the noise. They could clearly hear the two young Lords actions through the walls.

"I would think my godson knew what silencing charms were."

"They usually do think of them Severus, but for some reason tonight they forgot. Or they must have worn off. I thinking it's the later since we didn't hear anything before now. A giggling Shara placed her arms around the potion master's neck, and drew him in for a kiss. She waved her hand placing a silencing charm of her own on the boys' room.

"Now maybe we can have our own fun my sweet."

Severus started leaving a trail of kisses down her neck while his hands roamed all over her body. Soon they too were lost in a world of their own.

In another part of the castle, another young couple were also expressing their love. The elven Prince and vampire Princess enjoyed bringing pleasure to each other with soft touches and lingering kisses. Ron loved to hear Hermione scream his name, while in the throws of passion. It would always bring him to his own release, to know that he could get such a response from her. Afterwards he held her while she fell asleep spooned against him, while his hand rested on her rounding stomach. He could feel the life force of their son. He too soon fell asleep, dreaming of a little bushy haired red head boy running around the school.

Remus and Sirius were lying in bed, talking about their future child. "You do realize Sirius that our son has a fifty percent chance of being a werewolf."

"Yes love, I don't have a problem with that."

"Are you sure?" Remus seemed worried all of a sudden.

"Now what kind of question is that? I love you don't I, and you're a werewolf."

"Yes I know, I'm sorry Sirius."

"Look Remus, if our son is a werewolf then we will deal with it when the time comes. We can always go to your realm for his transformations, this way he won't grow up thinking he's a monster like you did. He's our son, a part of you and me. I will love him no matter what."

Sirius took a sniffling Remus in his arms. He held him as Remus sobbed into his shoulder.

"Shhh... its ok love. It's normal to be scared. After all you're just getting used to your knew situation yourself."

Remus looked up at Sirius from where he had been crying.

"I love you Siri, you always know what to say to me to make me feel better."

"I love you too, now shut up and kiss me."

Remus swatted Sirius on his arm, while he leaned over to kiss him. He put all his feelings in that kiss, leaving the animagus breathless. With a wicked grin Remus turned around and said goodnight to his love.

Sirius who was now hard, thanks to the kiss, watched wide eyed as his mate turned around to go to sleep.

"Oh no you don't, Remus Lupin Black, you are not leaving me with this "problem". Soon two shaking shoulders let Sirius know that Remus did have a bit of fun at his expense.

With a growl, he jumped on the werewolf being careful not to hurt their child. He cast a wandless charm reliving both of them of their clothes. He prepared Remus and soon found himself inside of him. Remus had his head thrown back in ecstasy. He held on to Sirius who was now thrusting quickly in him. He felt himself come and felt Sirius stiffen, and with another growl he joined Remus in a very intense climax.

Sirius opened his eyes looking at his husband whose cheeks were flushed from the pleasure he had just given him.

"Are you ok Remus, I'm sorry I wasn't too gentle."

"Are you kidding Siri that was just simply awesome. I should tease you more often." Remus chuckled as he watched Sirius roll his eyes.

"Git, come here you old wolf."

Remus snuggled with his lover and fell asleep with a peaceful smile on his face. Sirius kissed his forehead and let himself join him in sleep.

The next morning it was four happy couples who met in the chamber for breakfast. Severus turned around to face his godson.

"I know you're young and in love, but silencing charms would be nice so that others can sleep."

Draco and Harry blushed, they both had been very vocal last night. Then Draco looked at Severus with a strange gleam in his eyes.

"How could you have heard us Sev. Weren't you in your quarters in the dungeons last night?"

Severus almost choked on his pumpkin juice. Shara was looking at her plate finding her eggs quite interesting. Remus, who was helping to feed one of the twins, looked at the potion master and the elven princess. He winked at Sirius, the animagus knew that Remus was in a teasing mood.

"Severus" drawled Remus trying to keep a strait face. "Are your dungeons getting cold? Why would you spend the night in the chamber?"

Severus looked at Shara who nodded giving her consent.

"Princess Shara and I are in a relationship, if you must know."

"I love him very much." Said Shara startling her lover. Severus had never heard someone tell him that they loved him. He turned to look at Shara who was smiling. Her eyes reflected her feelings. She tenderly took his face in her hands, and brought him towards her for a kiss.

"Severus Salazar Snape, Dragon Master Sorcerer. I love you."

He whispered back. "Princess Shara, sister of Queen Adira, I love you too." He kissed her again, leaving her panting and flushed.

Draco held on to Harry's hand. He leaned over towards his husband and whispered. "He's happy, he's finally happy." Harry gave his hand a gentle squeeze. "Yes he is love; it's about bloody time too."

Harry was petting their pet Kitdel that was now the size of a cougar. He had their pet snake Kiss wrapped around his arm; Draco and he were having a conversation with her. She had discovered the twins and wanted to offer her services in their protection. She told them that they would know how to speak parceltongue when they grew up and it was best if she tough them the correct way to speak it. They were discussing the finer points of the language when suddenly Ron looked up from the table and announced to everyone that Albus was heading their way. The wards he had placed, would let him know of any approaching friend or foe. He reached out with his magic to make sure they were still has strong as the day he cast them. He also told them that Lord Alron was going to come today to finish their weapons training. Their group had decided to intensify the training, they all wanted to live peacefully with their children and return to their own realms.

In the afternoon, Ron, Harry and Draco were sparing with Lord Alron, using swords. Albus had given Harry the sword of Gryffindor. Draco had received a beautiful silver sword with emeralds incrusted in the handle. He had quickly cast a silver protection spell on it, so that he wouldn't accidentally hurt Remus. The three fought for hours, their skills being pretty evenly matched. Ron still held the slight advantage of having a bit more training then the two Lords.

Hermione and Remus were at the library seeking out new defensive and offensives spells. Both of them were looking in the restricted section. They knew that old Tom wouldn't stop and send them a jelly leg curse. Hermione found a spell that would trap someone's soul in a rune stone. She showed it to Remus; he read the description of the spell and gave Hermione a bright smile. They had found what they had been looking for. They spent the next few hours going over all aspects of the spell and discussed the way they could use it towards their goal of beating Voldemort.

Meanwhile in his potions lab, Severus was working hard on some new potions. He had discovered a few old books that must have belonged to Salazar Slytherin, as they were written in parceltongue. Harry had been very helpful in translating them. One potion was to remove one's magical powers for a year. He thought this would be good for the captured death eaters. Now that the dementor's were mostly working with Voldemort, they would need a way to keep the prisoners at bay. He was almost done his first batch. The ministry had arranged for the potions to be given to some newly capture death eaters. This way they would still be able to fight. If they fought back they would try to use their magic, then they would see if the potion works.

Sirius was outside running in the forest in his Gryffin animagus form. This form was much more powerful than Padfoot, so he had to get used to being in it for long periods of time. He even tried to fly, but was only able to for a few minutes. He promised himself he would work on getting his wings to be stronger. They could save his life one day. He noticed how the animals in the forest would clear out of the way when he passed by. Even the more dangerous beast would stay away from him. "I guess Gryffins are the top of the food chain, compared to the other animals." He kept on running for another hour before heading back to the school. He stopped at the edge of the forest and took on his dog form. Students were used to seeing Padfoot but not Gryffus. It wouldn't do, for word of a Gryffin being seen around school, to get back to Voldemort. He made his way to the chamber and sat down watching the boys finish their sword fighting training. He summoned his staff and conjured up some dummies so that he could practice his spell accuracy with his staff. He enchanted the dummies so that they would move out of the way of oncoming spells. He started of slow and quickly worked his way to hexing two of them at a time. His aim was getting pretty good. He didn't notice the boys standing behind him and looking in awe at his fluid movements. As soon as he tried for three dummies at the same time, his aim became a bit off. He had found what he needed to improve on.

A message came to them telepathically. It was from Severus.

(I'm heading over to the ministry to try my new potion on some death eaters. I'll be back in a few hours. Can you tell Shara that I'll be back for diner?)

Harry laughed and answered him back. (Of course we'll tell her, we wouldn't want you sleeping on the couch for a few nights, because of us. And good luck with your potion, if this works we will all be able to relax a bit more.)

(Thank you Harry, I'll contact you as soon as I know for sure if it works.)

With words of good luck coming from everyone Severus made his way to the apparition point and apparated to the ministry, where Arthur Weasley was waiting for him.

"Good afternoon Severus, I heard of the potion you had made. If this works it will help with the Azkaban problem. We fear the dementor's are about to leave the prison to join You-know-who."

"I have high hopes that this will work. One dose a year will suffice to take their powers away. Now where are the test subjects?"

"Follow me; we have two death eaters in a holding cell, near the courtrooms."

The two men made their way to the cells where Severus quickly administered the potion to the two men. He pretended to loose his wand on the floor and waited for them to make a move. The first death eater quickly grabbed it and tried casting a crucio on Severus. He was shocked when not even a spark came out of the wand. He tried again this time trying to cast avada Kadavra on the potion master and again nothing happened.

Arthur took out his wand and cast a binding spell on the prisoners who now could not fight back. Aurors came and took them out of the room, giving Severus his wand back. He had taken a chance but it had been worth it. After giving a copy of the recipe to a ministry potion master he left the ministry and headed towards Diagon Alley. He sent a mental message to the others.

"(Harry, Draco the potion worked. One of the death eaters grabbed my wand and tried to curse me but nothing happened. So now once they brew more of the potion they will administer it to the prisoners in Azkaban. This way even if the dementor's leave, Voldemort won't be able to use his death eaters.)

(That's great Sev, I'm glad to hear it. Now prisoners won't have to loose their souls. Maybe the ministry will still be able to get rid of the dementors. They're way too dangerous to keep around.)

(Your right Harry, but I don't know if Fudge is ready to give up his hold on those creatures.)

(Severus, will you come back here soon? We're going to have a meeting, thinking up strategies to fight old Voldie.) Draco asked his godfather.

(I'll probably be back in an hour; I have some shopping to do in Diagon Alley. I'll see you then.)

(All right Severus, congratulations again on a job well done.)

(Thanks Harry.)

The potion master made his way to a small jewelry store. Once inside he made his way towards the counter. An old man came to greet him.

"Severus Snape, my old friend welcome to my shop."

"Thanks Darius, I've come to get the rings I had entrusted to you many years ago."

"You mean the Snape family rings?"

"Yes, I have need of them."

The man nodded and made his way to his office in the back of the shop. A few minutes later he came out holding a small velvet box. When he opened the box, two rings could be seen. Both were made of gold with the Snape family crest, the woman's ring had a square shaped emerald that was surrounded by four diamonds. While the man's only had the square emerald, both rings were exquisite. Severus thanked his friend for keeping these for him for so many years. He pocketed the box and left the shop. He apparated at the Hogwarts gate and made his way to the chamber where the others were waiting for him.

At the meeting they decided that next time Voldemort would be involved in a raid or an attack they would destroy him. They wanted it done and over with. Harry knew that the final battle was somewhere near Hogwarts because of their dreams. They would mobilize the werewolves and vampires that were on the side of the light. Harry and the men would attack by ground while Hermione and the vampires would attack by air. Ron would lead the elves both light and dark. They would take care of any other kinds of magical creatures that would show up. Remus and the werewolves would handle the dark werewolves' forces. Sirius would handle the demons and Severus would take care of whatever dragons and winged forces would come from the sky. Hermione would fight the other vampire clans who weren't loyal to her father's crown.

While they were in their meeting Fawks appeared in front of Harry with a message. Harry read it and paled. "They're attacking the ministry of magic. Albus' spy doesn't know if Voldemort will be at the attack or not. We must go now and save as many lives as we can. Ron paled; his father was at work right now and so was his brother Percy.

They all got dressed in their battle robes and disaparated to the ministry...
