Hi everyone. I just want to remind you that I'm still here and writing. It was just a crazy month of September for me. With my kids going back to school and a birthday party to set up and judo lessons I'm beginning to feel pulled from all sides. Enough of my life, here is another chapter in the life of our favorite group of wizards.
Remember I just do this for fun so please be nice in the reviews. Thanks!

-THE MINISTRY BATTLE PART2- A WEASLEY DISCOVERY-
Draco and Harry were making their way towards Arthur Weasley's office when they saw another red head fight off three death eaters while trying to protect two fallen ministry workers. The young man was standing in front of the two unconscious witches sending hexes and curses as fast has he could. His show of bravery made Harry realize why this one Weasley, who could have easily been a Slytherin, had been placed in Gryffindor.
Percy was concentrating on the battle trying to fend off the three men in front of him. He had never been so scared in his life but there was no way in hell that he would show it and let them hurt his two friends. He also wanted to make his way to his dad's office to see if he was ok. He might have fought with his family but he still loved them. His mother would be heartbroken if anything was to happen to his dad. He sent a stunner to the nearest death eater who fell under the spell and sent an Expelliarmus to the next. He barely dodged a crucio from the third. Ron who had arrived on the scene was shocked to see his older brother fight. Percy had never shown any skill at dueling. Seeing that he was in trouble Ron cast a quick spell to freeze the third death eater. Percy turned around towards the caster of the spell with his wand ready. When he saw Ron he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. But then he got a good look at Ron and seemed puzzled at his change of appearance.
"What the hell happened to you Ronald? Why do you look different?"
"I'll tell you later, right now we need to find dad."
Percy nodded his agreement as they made their way towards their dad's office. Harry and Draco had told them that they would help bring the two witches to safety.
"Hurry Ron, I think some more death eaters are still left in the building." Harry gave his friend his warning then grabbed on to one of the fallen witches and disaparated; Draco did the same.
Ron turned around and brought out his sword. He would be ready for anything that the death eaters threw at him. They two red head made their way to their dad's department.
They saw the older Weasley fight off a death eater while another one was trying to sneak up on Arthur from behind. In a flash Ron had binded the second man while his dad sent a not so well known family curse towards his own foe. All pureblood families had their own curses that were passed on from father to son. It was a combination of Expelliarmus, petrificus totalus and blinding curse. The death eater never knew what hit him. He was lying on the ground blind and unable to move without his wand which was now in Arthur's hand.
Ron snorted at the humor of the situation. His dad might not have the power that he himself had now, but man could he ever fight. Ron was busy binding the second death eater and didn't notice the strange looks he was getting from his dad and brother. He didn't realize how different he looked. Sure he still looked like Ron Weasley but now he was taller, had more muscles. His hair went down to his shoulders and two pointed ears could be seen peeking through his red hair. He was in his battle robes which coast more that one year of Arthur's salary and he had his circlet around his head indicating his royal status. He also carried a sword which is something that none of the other Weasley children had done before. Just when Ron was going to turn around and talk to his father, Hermione came into the room and made her way towards him. It was obvious that she was also different. Arthur took in her appearance. She was paler than he had ever seen her. Her long hair wasn't bushy anymore but came down to her waist in loose curls. She was wearing her red battle robes that showed a very mature feminine figure. A small bump was starting to show making her pregnancy easily detectable.
"Hey Mione, you missed the fights. You should have seen Percy battle three death eaters and dad made quick work of this one here." Ron pointed at the petrified man. He turned around to congratulate his family on a job well done when he saw a green light speeding towards his dad. In a flash of light he had pushed his dad out of the way. He turned around and sent a blood freezing curse to the death eater who had dared to send a killing curst towards Arthur. Hermione spun around looking at the corridor making sure no other surprises were coming their way. She used wingardium leviosa to make the three unconscious death eaters floated behind her. She would bring them to the atrium where the other prisoners they had captured were waiting to be arrested by aurors.
(Talk with your family Ron, I think it's time you told them about us and about who you really are. They love you and are probably really worried about you by now.)
(You're right love, give me a few minutes to make sure they are brought to safety and I will tell them everything.)
Hermione nodded and left the room with her three prisoners in tow. Ron turned around to look at his dad and brother. He smiled and told them to follow him. They were making their way towards the exit when they say Harry and Draco fighting about fifteen death eaters. His protective instincts kicked in. He drew his sword and started making his way towards his two Lords. By the time he got to them Harry had rendered at least half of them unconscious while Draco had subdued the rest. Ron laughed and shook his head. His two friends were quiet capable of defending themselves. With a small shake of his head to indicate the two Weasley's who were looking at the battle with wide eyes, he let them know that he was going to bring them to safety. Harry smiled at Arthur and returned towards the fallen death eaters to finish binding them and bring them to the other prisoners. He sent a mental enquiry as to where all the others were.
(Hey guys, Draco, Ron and I are at the higher levels just off the corridor to Arthur's office where are you all?"
Hermione was the first to answer. (I'm in the atrium with the prisoners. The aurors are finally able to start taking care of them. They just told me that their alarms are still going off in some parts of the building so there are more of them out there. Be careful. I'll stay here to help out with the cleaning.)
Remus' voice came next. (Sirius and I are making our way to the department of mystery. We want to make sure that none of them get near the room of prophesies and the veil.)
Harry paled at the mention of the veil. He still had nightmares of almost loosing Sirius the year before. (Be careful guys, and don't go near the veil.)
(Don't worry Harry, Remus and I will be careful.)
They last to report in was Severus and he seemed quite busy. (I'm kind of fighting about ten death eaters here, can I get back to you in a few minutes.) After a few minutes his voice came back to talk to Harry. (I'm in the court rooms at the lower levels. I could use some help; there are about a dozen injured ministry workers here.)
Harry turned around and let Draco know what Severus had told him. Both of them made their way to the court room. It just happened to be the one where he had received his trial a year and a half ago. Draco took care of healing the injured while Harry and Severus brought the other death eaters to the atrium where the aurors would arrest them and take them to Azkaban. They were given the magical removal potion right away. They had an antidote for it later if any of them would be found not guilty at their trial.
Draco came up to join them. He had a few of the injured floating behind him the others he had been able to heal were walking next to him. They seemed surprised that a Malfoy would willingly get dirty in order to help them. Draco looked like something the Kneezle dragged in. Draco had a bright smile when he saw his husband; he walked up to him and kissed him. He had used healing magic and how he was charged up. He needed to release some of that energy and only one activity would satisfy him now. He whispered something in Harry's ear and watched as his husband blushed while looking around.
(Damn Draco, what a strange time to get horny. Can't you wait until tonight?"
(Sorry love, it's a secondary effect of my using so much healing power. I think I can wait a few minutes but not more.) Draco let his hand linger on Harry's behind while they talked with the head auror Kingsley Shackelbot. After discussing the fate of the prisoners the two Lords decided to head back to Hogwarts. Sirius and Remus left for the werewolf realm to help with the new members of the colony. Severus also left for Hogwarts he was going to see Shara. He had a proposal to plan if he wanted to make the beautiful elf princess his wife. Ron and Hermione left to go to the Burrow to have a heart to heart talk with the Weasleys.
About thirty minutes later the whole Weasley clan, including Hermione, was sitting at the kitchen table waiting for Ron to start his explanation. Ron cleared his throat nervously and began his story.
"Well mum, dad it started a year ago when I turned sixteen. I started getting these dreams about a huge battle. I saw myself helping two figures fight a basilic on top of a hill. In the background I could see Hogwarts. I knew I was destined to be part of this battle." Ron stopped for a few seconds to see that everyone was paying attention to him. "Last July when Harry turned sixteen the dreams started again. They became clearer when Draco turned sixteen. When I got back to Hogwarts I was visited by a dark elf. He was to become my mentor. Lord Alron told me about my duty to the Grand Lord of Phoenix and the Grand Lord of Unicorns. I was to be their first protector. After proving myself worthy of this honor I started training. I discovered that I am Prince Alderic Ronuldus Navir. I am the son of Queen Adira of the light Elves and King Ulrich of the dark Elves. I was given to you as a gift child so I could be born human and become friends with the two Lords. The plan went well with the exception that Lord Draco was placed under the Imperious curse by his human father. We still became friends and are now fighting together to beat Voldemort." As Ron was speaking with his family a bright light illuminated the kitchen for a moment. Two regal looking elves came out of the light.
Queen Adira looked as beautiful as ever and the man standing next to her looked quite dashing in his black battle robes. He had a crown on his head a bit bigger than Ron's. Ron got up to great the two visitors. He bowed to his mother before kissing her cheek and looked curiously at the other elf.
"Alderic, my son, I want you to meet your father King Ulrich. We felt that the moment for your revelation to your human family had come so we are here to help you explain things to them."
Ron bowed before his father and smiled at him. The king gave him a small nod and looked around the Burrow getting a sense of the people who had the honor of raising his heir. Seeing that they were indeed good people he returned his son's smile and greeted the family of red heads.
"Peace be with you Weasley family. I thank you for raising my son to be the brave warrior that he is." Arthur understood that for the dark king that was quite a compliment. He thanked the king and invited him to sit down with them.
Molly who had heard the Queen call Ron her son, was beginning to panic. She didn't want to loose her baby boy.
The Queen sensing the other woman's fear turned around and smiled at her.
"Fear not Molly Weasley, you will not loose your son. He is as much part of you as he is part of me. I have only good things to say of the way that you have raised him to be a fine man." The Queen made her way to sit next to Molly at the kitchen table. She held the read headed woman's hand. "We have a fine boy, do we not?"
"Yes Ron as always been a good boy. Now I see that he's grown to be a man."
Queen Adira looked at Hermione and smiled. "Yes I think he is definitely a man. How are you feeling dear Princess Hermione. As your morning sickness passed."
Hermione blushed then paled when the Queen let slip out their secret. "I'm fine thank you your Highness. And yes I'm in my fourth months of pregnancy the morning sickness has passed."
Ron seemed to be frozen as all eyes turned towards him. "Er... that's another thing we wanted to tell you. Hermione and I are engaged to be married and she's pregnant with my child. It's to be a boy." He gulped nervously as his mom and dad glared at him. "Oh and Hermione is a Vampire Princess. She's the two Lords second protector."
He waited for the explosion that he knew would be coming. The only thing that happened was Molly started crying on Arthur's shoulder. His dad turned towards him. "I hope this weeding will happen before the child is born. After all from what you tell it just wont do for the little prince to be born out of wedlock."
"Yes dad that's why we're here today. We want to invite you to our wedding in a months time. We're heading over to Hermione's parents next and telling them too. The wedding will be a mix of elven customs and wizard's too."
The rest of the afternoon was spent talking about Harry and Draco. They explained about Remus being a werewolf Prince and Sirius being the Arch Mage of Griffins. They also told them of Severus being a Dragon Master Sorcerer. They explained that together they were a formidable team that would eventually defeat Voldemort. After a few hours the King and Queen left to go back to the Elven realms. Ron and Hermione also left to go to the Grangers to explain a few things.
It was a very tired couple that returned to Hogwarts that evening but they also felt the burden of their secrets was finally gone. As they fell asleep together they knew their future would be better now that their respective families knew everything about them.
