Chapter 17: A New Home

Once back at the manor, Jersey turned to her new, old parents. "Welcome to Snape-Malfoy manor, my wing is to your left. Upstairs, is the master wing and on your right is Draco's." Jersey took Remus and Sirius' hands and pulled them to her room.

"Can you make Grimmauld Place look like this?" Sirius asked, shocked.

"Of course I can. Pack! " Jersey called to the room. "Oh, I forgot I can do magic outside school as can Draco, my father pays off the committee members. I'll stop if you want me to."

"It's fine, being minister, I'll have them over look it also. That goes for you too Harry." Remus said, he was amazed at his little girls lifestyle.

"Oh daddy, can we go to muggle London together tomorrow? We can get you both clothes, please? I still have my vaults in Gringotts, pretty please?" Jersey begged turning towards Remus, who was caught off guard at being called daddy. Harry was shaking his head 'no' in the background, knowing full well what Jersey intended to do.

"Sure why not. How many vaults do you have?" Remus asked.

"Seven of my own, two that I share with Draco, and 53 Malfoy vaults, which I've never touched. My seven vaults are valued at over $380,700 Galleons, I'm probably a thousand or so off, from people sending me money and from St. Munogs, but that's just from working at Gringotts. The Malfoy vaults total over a hundred million Galleons, and the vault I share with Drake has 100,000 Galleons, so 50,000 for each of us." Jersey explained, running into the bathroom to make sure she didn't forget anything.

"Luc, Sev this is the part that is going to be the hardest for me. You've raised me my whole life, shared your family with me, and taught me so many important lessons. You will always be my parents, and I'll always love you for that. I'm petrified to leave, I don't know what will happen to me when I move in with them. I don't know if I'll even make it on my own. I love you though, never forget that, both of you." Jersey kissed Lucius and Severus on the cheek and turned towards Draco.

"Don't Jers. You'll make it sound like I'm never going to see you again when really you're just a pop or fire place away. Promise you'll owl me if you need anything, even while I'm at Hogwarts. You'll always be my sister, we've always had some weird special bond, and I trust that's not going away anytime soon." Draco hugged Jersey and left the room so no one could see him cry.

"Well, I best be off. I'll see you all later you know at order meetings, work, and such." With one last hug and kiss to Lucius and Severus, Jersey took Harry's hand and apparated back to Grimmauld Place.

"We'll take care of her, we promise. If we need any advice, we'll come straight to you." Remus hugged his cousin and with two pops Remus and Sirius left. Severus broke down in tears.

"Sev, it's for the best. I hated lieing to her also, but it's for her own safety. Voldemort would have gone through withhis plan if we didn't keep her hidden. Now she is safe, undetected, and alive." Lucius said sitting down by Severus.

"Draco's mad we didn't tell him, or both of them about the divorce and Jersey. He'll blame us for sending his sister away when he needs her right now." Severus looked up at the door and noticed Draco.

"You're right, I am. I'm sick of it, why did you guys wait to tell us all this until today, I had to break into Arthur'smind to find out you were getting a divorce! How do you think that makes me feel? I'm going to Jersey's, I'll be back in a day or so, but I need time. I need to get to know Jers as my cousin and not as my sister. Though, I will now, and always, treat her like my sister, for that's exactly what she is in my heart." With that Draco apparated to Grimmauld Place.

"Well this is surely biting us in the arse. I'll sleep in the guest room, I guess." Lucius said getting up off the floor.

"Of course you are! It's your fault we're getting a divorce and why the kids are mad at us." Severus said, collecting himself, getting off the floor, and going towards his study to prepare for Hogwarts.

Once Jersey and Harry apparated back to Grimmauld Place, they barley recognized it, Dumbledore had added roomsand floors all over the place. A few minutes later Remus and Sirius showed up. "Why don't you both pick a room and get settled. Dinner will be ready soon." Remus said, walking towards the kitchen.

"So dad-eo is there anything you'd like to get rid of first?" Jersey asked, turning to Sirius a few hours later.

"What did you just call me?" Sirius asked shocked.

"Dad-eo, I figured it fit you.. I could change it if you want." Jersey said, sitting down on Sirius' lap. Before dinner, as a surprise for Remus, Jersey rearranged Sirius' molecular structure on his face, arms, and upper body. He now looked like he should have before Azkaban. He looked like a healthy, handsome, and well rested 37 year old man. It had shocked Remus at first, but once the shock wore off he couldn't help but be very turned on. Trying to hide it from Jersey and Harry had been hilarious. Then the questioning started, unfortunately for Remus and Sirius, Jersey didn't know how she was able to do it, she always had been. Then Draco came, bags packed, with a serious look on his face. That's exactly where they were now.

"Draco what are you doing here? What's wrong? What happened?" Jersey asked, jumping off of Sirius' lap andrunning towards a disheveled Draco.

"Remus, Sirius is it okay if I crash here? I needed to get away from my parents, I'm sort of still in shock that they're getting a divorce and that they didn't tell us." Draco asked, putting his bags down and looking at the floor.

"Sure Draco, stay as long as you like. I'm sure you and Jersey could find something to do with this house. Are you going to be alright? Is there anything I can get you?" Remus asked, concern etched all over his face.

"Thanks,but no it won't be necessary." Draco held out his hand to Remus. "Go figure that two of my cousin's would end up getting married, though Sirius is more of like my second cousin three times removed or something along those lines."

"Come on, I know what will cheer you up." Jersey said, pulling him towards the stair case. "I figured I'd start with the top and work down, that way I can go from one room to a zillion." Jersey laughed, climbing up to Lupin's transformation room. They assumed that's what the room was used for since most of the walls and furniture were scratched, ripped, or broken. "So any suggestions?" Jersey looked at the guys.

"What if we put metal slabs on the walls, but make them the color of wood and put the imperturbable charm on them so they can't be ripped or wrecked. I think that maybe hanging pictures of his family up high so they can't get wrecked might be good. Does he take the Wolfsbane potion?" Draco asked, looking around the room.

"Yeah, why? Does that change how you're decorating?" Harry asked, sitting on one of the broken chairs, praying he didn't fall over anytime soon.

"Yes it does. Remus being on the Wolfsbane potion means he's pretty calm, and he pretty much sleeps. So maybe we could get a mattress and make it up like a bed for him." Draco said, walking over to a place where the mattress might look good. It took most of the afternoon and evening to magically fix the room, along with the third floor, which included the drawling room, Sirius and Remus' bedroom, of which most of the clothes were either thrown away or transfigurated into something better looking, a few bathrooms, and the entertainment room.

"We came to check on your work, you've been up here for nearly three hours." Remus said, coming up the stairs with Sirius. They took one look around the room and their mouths hung open.

"Do you like it?" Jersey asked, a little nervous. She barely knew Remus or Sirius, the stuff she did know she had onlyheard from Harry or the other Gryffindors.

"It's amazing! It doesn't even look like it's ever been used. I'm going to be shocked to see what you do with the rest of the house." Siriusgot out, turning around in circles.

"Well see, I have a few gardeners coming tomorrow that owe me a few debts, so I said they could repay them off ifthey got the outside of the house fixed up, that includes the pool area and Quidditch pitch. I already called my friend Aidan over at the shopping center so they know we're going to be there tomorrow. Remi, we have a surprise for you, sort of a thank you from all of us for everything you've done. You have to close your eyes though, or it won't work." Jersey said, waving a hand in front of Remus' face to make sure he couldn't see. They then led him around the house a couple of times until he was rightfully confused and up to his transformation room.

"Guys, this is amazing!" Sirius said looking around.

"What's amazing? What is it! Can I open my eyes now?" Remus asked, jumping from foot to foot.

"Go ahead." Draco said, smiling. He was definitely over his being lied to. Remus removed his hand from his face.

"What room is this?" Remus asked, looking at Sirius confused. "I don't remember having a room like this."

"Remi, it's your transformation room." Harry said, cracking up.

"Aren't you afraid that I'm going to wreck it? Is that a bed?" Remus asked pointing over to the corner.

"Well yes, since you're taking the Wolfsbane potion, you sleep anyways. The walls and furniture are made of metal you can't destroy it because we put a charm on them. The pictures we put high up so you weren't alone, but you couldn't rip them. Draco did most of the room himself." Jersey said, giving credit where credit was due.

"Thank you guys. This means a lot to me, and will make turning into a werewolf a lot easier." Remus said, hugging all three kids.

"I'll get to work on the other rooms tomorrow after we go shopping. I think we should go to bed. Are you alrightpapa?" Jersey asked, turning to Sirius who had tears in his eyes.

"I thought I was dad-eo? I'm fine, I just never thought we would own a house like this, or have anyone that cared as much as you three do." Sirius said hugging Jersey, Harry, and Draco.

"You are dad-eo, when I'm not concerned about you. I think it's time we all go to bed, we've had a long day, and will have another one tomorrow. Um Daddy, where can we sleep?" Jersey had never thought about it, and didn't know her way around the house every well yet. She had only been there once before in her life.

"I'll show them Remi, don't worry. We'll see you tomorrow." Harry said, leading Jersey and Draco out the door. "There are bedrooms on the first and second floor. I think we should use the second floor though, there's more bedrooms and they're bigger." Harry went down the stair and turned right. "Draco this is your room, it use to be Fred and George's, but I think they took all their prank stuff with them. Your stuff has already been put in there, and try not to worry about anything tonight. You're here, safe, and away from people who lie to you. You can think about the shopping trip we have tomorrow. Think Sirius has never been to Muggle anything, so it should be interesting." Harry said, picturing the most outrageous things that Remus and Sirius could get themselves into.

"Dray, I'm just down the hall if you need me ok? I'm glad you came to me though, I love you." Jersey kissed hisforehead, gave him a hug, and left the room with Harry. "So where's my bedroom?" Jersey asked, turning towards Harry.

"With me, I believe it's down the other hallway and towards the right. I want to show you something first before we go to bed, is that alright?" Harry asked, taking Jersey's hand.

"Of course, I trust you Har." Jersey smiled, and kissed Harry on the tip of his nose. "Now and for always." Harry led Jersey down the stairs and out the back door. He didn't know that Sirius and Remus were watching from their bedroom window.

"Where do you think he's taking her?" Sirius asked, sitting on the pillow covered bench like window sill, holdingRemus close to him.

"He's been carrying a ring in his pocket for a few months now, where do you think he's going?" Remus asked,kissing his naïve husband.

"Oooooooooh." Sirius said, eyes locked on the window.

Harry walked around moon lit lake and sat on the bank, watching how the water of the lake blurred the moon's reflection. Jersey sat between his legs, wrapping his arms around her. "It's beautiful Harry, it really is." She could help but feel safe, loved, and protected wrapped up in Harry's arms.

"You're beautiful." Harry took a flower out of the garden and handed it to her. Jersey couldn't help the huge smile that spread across her face.

"Jers, I've done a lot of thinking this summer about us, and I've come to the conclusion that I've done more than just fallen in love with you, but that I couldn't love you more even if I tried. I can't live with out you in my life. When you were hurt I was so terrified that I had lost you, but I was so intent on staying by your side, even if you had never talked again, never moved from that bed. I was heart broken when you became engaged, I couldn't imagine a feeling more worse than the one I experienced. I can't describe to you how much I love you, because there are no words to describe it. I just hope that this is enough to show you that I want you in my life until the day I die. I want to have kids with you, I want to grow old with you, and I want to love you more than anyone. Jersey will you marry me?" Harry asked, getting out from behind Jersey and onto bended knee. He took the box out of his pocket and opened it. Inside was a small one and a half, perfectly circular white diamond on a silver band. Jersey looked from the ring to Harry's face and back.

"Harry…I don't know what to say, it's beautiful and that's so sweet but…" Jersey trailed off leaving him in suspense, when she saw Harry's face drop, she broke out in a smile. "Well of course you oaf! Are you going to put that on my finger or not?" Jersey said laughing a little.

"You know what? I don't care what the heck they say, you are definitely related to Draco! I don't care though, cause you just made me the happiest and luckiest guy in the whole world! Wizard and Muggle!" Harry slipped the ring on Jersey's finger and kissed her. He then moved back behind her, and pulled her close.

"Sorry for scaring you, but I had to make it seem dramatic. I wanted to test you to see if you really meant what you said, and luckily for me you weren't lieing." Jersey said, turning around and kissing him again. "Thank you."

"For what?" Harry asked confused, he had never been thanked before for nothing.

"Loving me, protecting me, keeping me safe, and eventually marrying me." Jersey said, rolling her eyes. The two spent most of the night curled up in each other's arms, stealing kisses, and looking out on the lake before deciding to go to bed around 1 in the morning.

A/N: I am soooooooooo sorry it took so long to post this chapter, but trust me this isn't the first version of this chapter! The version I did write had Draco coming to say that Harry was Voldemort's son, but I decided against that. It seemed to star wars-y for me. So I had to delete this along with four other chapters. Also with getting out of school in three days, and graduation on May 18th, I've had alot of stuff to get done and go through. Though we did get our school yearbooks today and I was shocked, amazed, and embarrased when of the quotes I gave a newspaper staff person, ended up right where the author and title would go on a regular book. like right on the front page dead center with nothing around it. Unfortuantely when you get back to my senior picture they spelt my name wrong, and if you look it up in the student directory it's spelt wrong and different then the first time they spelt it wrong. My last name is Jeffries, my senior pic is Jefries, and the directory has Jefferies. So you can see the problem, I just hope my diploma has the right last name on it.
