Oh, what a night

Adam and Charley danced with all of their friends and their mothers if they were there. Narcissa, Molly and even Neville's gran, substituted when there were no mothers around to trip their fantastic lightly. Molly was especially busy with four sons and a husband to keep entertained and out of trouble. She had long ago learned a charm that would keep her feet cool, comfortable and they could repel the stomping feet of her klutzy brood and her beloved husband.

Greg and Vince and George and Fred and Luna and Ginny and Hermione were all dancing as a group and had not partnered up. Ginny, Greg and Vince all were having a great time having put better than a good dent in a pint of firewhiskey already. No one seemed to mind that Harry and Draco were absent from their own birthday party. At least Neville and Adam were still with them. There would be about fifty couples on the dance floor at any one time from nine o'clock on until midnight, when the party was officially over.

The departing guests were escorted to a specially made, safe, outgoing disapparition point in the garden, and others to the only 'outgoing only' floo network fireplace, from 11 oclock on, much to the relief of the sentry aurors outside patroling the mansion and the grounds on brooms under the wards.

The final guest left, save for one Severus Snape who had stayed mostly in the background for the entire evening. He didn't want to intrude on the festivities and was delighted that he could attend and stay in the shadows. He was wearing some of the new muggle clothing he bought with the boys earlier that day under his formal robe. Armani is what the muggle clerk had said.

His hair was not greasy looking in fact it was soft and flowing and he had had it cut and styled a bit. He wanted to make a good impression on Empress Thundercloud. He had more than a professional and diplomatic adjenda for the next month before the new school started.

Albus had helped him create a one way portkey so he could get back to Hogwarts in an instant from where ever he was when it was time to return ahead of the Thunderbirds to ready himself for classes and a new school year.

The time ahead was going to be his first holiday since before most of the Thunderbirds were born. He planned to take good advantage of the quiet and the peace to collect potions ingredients not normally found in Europe.

Since he was a diplomat, he was exempt from duties on imports and he was going looking for some newly legal potions ingredients vital to the war effort. Some he was interested in trying as a possible cure for werewolves. Remus was incapacitated that evening due to his transformation, but the wolfsbane potion Severus had made for him was lessening the pain and duration of the involuntary change.

He had sent Harry and Draco a gift as a token of his friendship to his best friends cub and wished them both the best. Severus was a pretty good man deep inside, and Remus trusted him to watch over his cub while he was in America.

Draco and Harry had climbed the stairs togther in step, eyes locked together almost never blinking. When the two of them got to Draco's room, Harry picked Draco up and carried his groom over the threshold and into the large room.

Harry made a motion with his hand and a fire erupted in the fireplace casting a warm inviting glow across the room. When Harry had made the twenty or so steps to Draco's bed, he laid Draco on the bed laughing his head off.

The bed was covered in blown up condoms floating in the air, charmed to not blow away. Draco was not amused and he tried something that he had heard Adam say. He didn't use his wand when he said, "El finite!" The balloons disappeared.

"Adam is a bad influence on you sweetheart, now you're using Splatin to cast spells"
"Splatin"
"Spanish and Latin"
"Oh Merlin, to hell with Splatin spells, Harry, kiss me"
"Where"
"Everywhere would be lovely, but you can start with my lips and go from there." Draco said, his eyes closing waiting for the onslaught of kisses to begin. He would only dream about them.

"Alright love, now lay back and let me.. " Harry looked down,"... Draco?" Harry had said to the instantly asleep Draco. 'Damn he is going to be angry. He went to sleep and angrier still at me becase I'm not waking him.' he thought to himself.

"My beautiful Draco, just rest now, we can do this later. I love you Draco Potter-Malfoy." Harry gave him that kiss he wanted anyway.

Draco knew it but was comfortable in his hubby's arms and didn't move. He did grin a bit when the lights went out.

Harry waved his hand over his sleeping husband and removed his clothes for him, taking care to hang the tuxedo in the closet. George and Fred's joke would be a point of contention in the morning but for now, Harry was happy and he didn't mind that his husband was alseep. Harry took off his own clothes and hung them next to Draco's and joined his sleeping love in bed.

1:30 am almost time to leave.

Harry and Draco were sleeping quite soundly when Adam gently shook their sleeping forms awake. He 'snapped' into the room taking the route that the house elves take. The other Thunderbirds had left their party when the last of the guests had left and trouped together up the stairs. Adam was just casting a waking charm on the two sleeping men when Draco opened his eyes and caught the standing form of his cousin over them doing some wandless magic.

Draco felt refreshed and not the least bit grumpy. His smiling face watched as Harry opened his eyes and he stretched to his full length. Draco and Adam were amazed at the graceful form of Harry as he awoke stretching like a cat.

When Harry opened his eyes, he was greeted by a pair of silver grey eyes that were staring at Harry's morning... erectness tenting up the sheets. He did his best to keep his husband from being embarrassed. Harry just smiled at the two most important people in his life. He thanked and kissed his husband before he made a dash for the bathroom himself.

Harry didn't bother to put on a gown or pyjamas and he treated 2 sets of eyes to a great view of his backside again to the two wizards as it ran across the the soft carpet to the bathroom nekked as the day he was born.

"Draco old man, you've certainly got yourself a keeper." Adam said to his cousin, still looking at the bathroom door.

"You know now, as my husband keeps showing you, what will make me crazy." Draco said to his cousin and now, confidant.

Harry started the shower and was singing a pretty stupid song, even for Harry, but it was quite good. The wizards in his bedroom forgotten.

"I'd do anything for him Adam. I never thought it could be this good. I'm sorry we had to go through all the things we did to get to this point, but I don't think I would have it any other way. I guess I... we owe all of this to you Adam."

"Honeylamb, I only did what any other person that loved you would do for you. To be honest, your auras were already mingling that first night, I only did a little ol' blood charm, you bonded naturally, this was all you two an' no one else." Adam said shaking his head to let Draco know he was telling the truty. He wouldn't lie to him, couldn'tanyway so, it must be the truth. He loved Harry and he always had.

Harry came back into the bedroom with a towel around his waist and he was combing his hair before he dressed, when he noticed something funny. His ears had become just a little bit pointy and his hair was combing out straight and even felt silken.

He walked over to his husband who's hair was also covering his ears. Draco reached up to kiss his husband when Harry pushed his hair behind his ears. Harry pulled his hair behind his ears as well and Adam and Draco looked at Harry and then Draco felt his ears. They were slightly pointy as well.

"Molly and your mother and those elves have some explaining to do I think. How about you get out of bed and get cleaned up and I'll sit and talk with Adam for a while and then we'll go join the others. I don't suppose our ears will be noticed by anyone else soon."

"I can fix 'em, here you go," Adam waved his hand at the two men's ears and they appeared normal, but Draco and Harry could still feel them. At least it was something less to worry about at the moment.

Draco kissed his husband for a good minute, thanked his cousin for the glamour charm and got out of bed and went full monty to the bathroom, shameless and beautiful, but shameless none the less.

Draco was in and out of the bathroom in a short amount of time, he didn't sing and dally in the bathroom like Harry did, but he was tempted to take care of an uprising while he was in there. He turned on a blast of cold water and it rather took care of pressing matters rather nicely.

He was dressing in his muggle clothes. Adam had a good idea of what the weather would be like and he advised his friends to wear short pants under their robes, under that was their choice but he reminded him of crawling creatures of the night in Arizona.

Harry and Draco both opted for their Levi's and nice shirts with jackets to wear under their robes. Their tuxedos wouldn't be needed unless they wanted to do something special, but they could always conjure up some more if they were needed so, the elves didn't pack them.

Harry was helping Draco on with his jacket and Adam was telling them that it was almost a quarter to two and they needed to get their butts moving. His ma didn't like to be kept waiting. The boys all laughed. Who's mother did like to be kept waiting.

Adam saw that Charley Weasley was still there when the Thunderbirds all marched downstairs at once but not in a paired up formation, save for Harry and Draco. Everyone's luggage had been charmed to fit in thier pockets, so there really wasn't alot to carry, they brought their wands along... just in case they needed them.

Severus had joined the teens at about ten minutes of two. Narcissa and Dumbledore weren't the only ones to see them off. Some of the Weasleys and Neville's Gran stayed behind as well.

Charley Weasley and Adam had gone out to the lawn that approaches the cliff face and the west and were sitting on one of the benches waiting for the others to come outside. Adam had asked Charley to stay with him while he got ready to go home and he did, but not before Charley and Adam had a little tet-a-tet of their own.

"Charley, we've done some fun things already, I don't think that a good bye for now kiss would do any harm. Pucker up." Adam had insisted.

"Adam, I just want to...mmpfh." Charley's words were silenced by the Navajo prince who pulled back and put his finger to Charley's lips. Charley kissed the finger and smiled.

"Go on now Charley, I'll see you when I come back. I'm gonna talk to my mama about you. Maybe you can portkey over and portkey back with Severus."

"That might be a good idea. I'll talk to Dumbledore about it. Speak of the devil. Here he comes now, with my brothers and sister and your mates."

"That kiss is going to have to last you for a while Charley. When the others get here, stand with Mr. Dumbledore and Draco's Mom and your folks and keep your wands out. Ya never know what's lurking behind the wards. You guys be careful and watch that cute butt of yours sweetcheeks"

Adam turned to the approaching group and said, "Hey everybody ready to go?" now that they were just beyond the garden on the lawn.

"How are we going to get there? It's too far to apparate isn't it? Are we taking a portkey?" Blaise, Greg and Luna all asked one after the other.

"Flying, yes probably and no. We're flying on Pipsqueak."

"Who the bloody hell is uh, Pipsqueak?" Ginny said, she was getting a bit grumpy and could use a blast of JPUP if you asked Adam.

"This, is, Pipsqueak."

Adam held his staff into the air from it's bottom and out of the top came a great bright glow.

A bolt of lightening shot skyward and a emensly giant Thunderbird came spiriling down from the sky and landed silently, there was no thunder but there was a small shower of lightening trailing her as she landed, small rumbles of the ground could be felt as her wings extended to her fullest.

She nuzzled Adam who petted her giant head smoothing the feathers under her eyes with his fingers. Pipsqueak happened to love this from Adam and he loved to do it for the bird that taught him how to fly.

The giant bird looked at the 12 teens and she mentaled to Adam, 'you bring me 12 more children to teach. Thank you little loud one, Are we to go home now?'

'Yes great sister, home. We have to bring the 13 of them...' gesturing to the Thunderbirds and Severus.

'I've seen that one before with your mother, he looks better now. He is still a paleface, so be careful, little brother. Let us get them on my back and we can charm them so they won't blow away or get hurt when we break the sound barrier. We will take a bit longer this time, I will slow to subsonic over the cities so they can see America at night, we'll fly over the lights and miss those flying muggle machines.' We can take, ten minutes if you want to. Earth is moving away from us.'

'I'll get them up there. Be just a minute.'

'I want to get home too little brother, but take your time.' Adam nodded at the huge bird and turned to Narcissa.

"Narcissa my wonderful cousin, it has been my extreme pleasure to finally meet my family. You were a most gracious hostess and I cannot endure the wait until we meet again." Adam said his goodbye to Narcissa and bowed to kiss her hand.
It was Narcissa's turn to blush. Adam noticed and whispered out of the side of his mouth,

"I am a charmer ain't I Draco?" Draco winced when he went right back to speaking vulgar American English. At least it wasn't that awful Splatin.

"You are one in 9 billion Adam, one in 9 billion. It was wonderful having you here, but until everyone of you learn all about the powers you possess, here, you could only possibly be harmed. You needed to learn all that school work children because you would have need of the information if you were to fully understand what you were going to learn and then practice.

As of now, you've all become threatened targets that we cannot risk at this time. I will be safe enough here, almost half of the Order will be staying here, so I shall be quite well, I can still get out of our wards and I will allow auror garrisons to use the open areas of the estate up to the wizard/muggle line out front. Anyone trying to get in here after you leave will be in for a surprise that will get them either killed or captured and sent to Azkaban." Narcissa had said her piece.

Adam gathered the travellers and helped them to the back of the great bird. The travelers were getting comfortable on Pipsqueak's back. They all felt safe because they were just like the great bird and like they belonged. The "couples" all sat together, Severus was the last to seat himself before Adam joined him.

"Alright everyone?" Adam asked his friends. He cast an anti friction/anti freeze charm on the passengers on the great birds back. Severus supplied the warming charm he had learned from Little Bird and had been sharing it with Slytherins ever since.

Pipsqueak gave a mighty squawk and was aloft in one massive flap of her wings with her passengers headed west and into the night, catching up on the setting sun in the west only a short time later.

True to the wishes of Adam, Pipsqueak slowed down as she crossed into American airspace and the 13 Thunderbirds and one Severus Snape were treated to views of the Statue of Liberty and the great American cities that dotted the whole of the Atlantic seaboard before the great bird turned her wings westward once again and picked a bit of speed up as she crossed over Florida and then the Gulf of Mexico and headed for the coast line of Texas.

Bad weather was nothing to the giant powerful bird. Thunderclouds and lightening was where the giant bird felt most comfortable. Pipsqueaks passengers were amazed at how fast they were flying. Adam had flown this way before and was impressed every time.

Pipsqueak could fly as fast as lightening but until the 14 passengers had crossed the Atlantic Ocean, Pipsqueak streaked at almost light speed. There was nothing but the stars to watch for the minute that it took to cross the oceans but over land, Pipsqueak flew at super sonic speed and created loud boom's when she was flying over 700 miles an hour, but over inhabited areas she glided to let her passengers look at the emenseness of America.

The great bird left Texas and flew into Mexico and across the Rockies and made a great right bank soaring very quickly and headed north into Arizona, the daylight was still bright at that time of day in the mountainous parts of the Grand Canyon State. The color underneath the flying Pipsqueak was the same as the blue Arizona sky and she was not noticed as she made her decent into the entrance of the Magical Navajo Nation.

Pipsqueak slowed to about 300 kmph and glided to the magical entrance to the MNN at Window Rock. The passengers that had been riding the magical bird took in the view of the desert below and wondered where the people of the Magical Navajo Nation lived. There was simply nothing that they could see but red rock, EVERYWHERE, no signs of life. Nothing.

Adam looked at his friends, he knew what was on their minds and he was a bit amused so he started to giggle and he spoke up for the first time.

"Wait till we hit the rock. Things will look different."

"I bloody hope so Adam, I haven't seen a body of water for about 3 minutes now and I gather that since it's 9000 km to Britain and we've made this trip in about...8 minutes..." Draco started to say just as Pipsqueak made her diving entrance through the portal into the Magical Navajo Nation, which was Window Rock.

"You were saying cousin?" Adam said to Draco who's eyes were as wide as saucers.

The view from the back of the great bird changed completely. There were huge green trees, open fields of green grass, and several lakes dotted the landscape, there were farms, villages, small cities, it was almost like the mythical shangri-la.

The great bird flapped her wings once again and they were gaining elevation slightly. The bird was decelerating so she could land and her passengers could see the giant rambling house that Adam called home.

Gardens almost as nice as the ones at Malfoy Manor could be seen surrounding the house. Great green lawns surrounded the house's gardens, stables could be seen at the far end of the huge green field that was what Adam called the back yard.

"Hey you guys, there's my mom!" Adam said excitedly.

Severus looked at the small woman he had known many years ago, one that he once called friend and hoped to again, standing in the field waving at the circling bird waiting for her to land with her precious cargo.

Pipsqueak landed softly and her passengers couldn't believe that just less than ten minutes ago they had been on the lawn of Malfoy Manor in the middle of the night. Adam took off the charm that protected the Thunderbirds and Severus from the cold and also the friction from flying so fast. Adam was the first to stand and he waited for the others to get themselves together. Harry and Draco spent most of the time not that there was much of it, snogging behind the others while they looked at the sights, they hadn't noticed the landing at all.

Pipsqueak laid down and let out a wing so her passengers could get off her back and get their feet under them again. Flying always did something to everyone and this time was no different. Hermione, Ginny and Luna seemed to have no effect at all, Ron was green a bit, but getting color back in his cheeks. Fred and George thought it was the most brilliant thing that they had ever done, Blaise, Vincent, Greg and Neville were just glad to be off the back of the bird. Adam saw his mother and he ran to greet her.

"Good to see you mother. It has been oh so much too long." Adam said a bit tongue in cheek, he wanted his mama to know his trip to England wasn't wasted.

"Oh shut up and give your mama some sugar Adam." Little Bird said to her son.

She was glad to see him and gave him kisses all over his face. This kind of embarrassed Adam because she did it in front of the Thunderbirds and one Severus Snape.

"Severus, you ol' polecat! Its good to see you old friend."

Severus made to shake Little Birds hand but she was having nothing to do with a handshake so she gave him a big wet kiss on the cheek making lots of noise when she did it.

"Now, let me guess who these good looking young people belong to. As I live and breathe, Harry Potter, I'd know you anywhere. You look like your father and you have Lily's eyes and you're more handsome than I ever expected. I'm Little Bird Thundercloud, it is my pleasure to finally meet you."

"The pleasure is all mine. I'd like to introduce you to my husband of .. about 8 hours, Draco Potter-Malfoy."

"Narcissa's boy. You are a handsome devil young man, you look like your father a bit. Sorry about, well, you know. One day your family will be together again. Whoa! Your aura is pinging like crazy. Are you going to have a baby?"

"Thank you for your compliment ... What shall I call you?"

"Birdy. Call me Birdy, it's easier than all that 'Your majesty' blather."

"Birdy it is then. Yes I am having a baby, more than one I'm told. Adam said my aura was doing the same thing. Thank you for sending me some replacement family, I'm sure I'll not see Lucius for a very long time. My mother sends her best and she gave me this for you." Draco said and handed a small box to Birdy.

"Oh, thanks. This certainly wasn't necessary. I'll write her a thank you very soon. Now, let me see, oh merlin, are those Arthur and Molly's children?"

"Yes mama, I'd like to introduce you to them."

"I know who those two are, you're Molly and Arthurs twins Fred and George. The last time I saw you, you were still in diapers. You two caused more trouble as babies, your big brothers were pretty busy keeping the two of you out of the floo powder! HAHAHA! I remember they found you two in Diagon Alley at the Magical Menagerie letting open the cages that you could reach. Charley and Bill caught quite a bit of trouble for that! You two, are...?"

"Mama, these two are Ronald and Virginia , but they go by Ron and Ginny."

"I'm pleased to meet you two also. That makes seven Weasley children. What is Percy doing? Are there any more?"

"No ma'am, Ginny was the last. We're pleased to meet you too." Ron said as he and Ginny shook hands with Birdy.

"Mama, this is Luna Lovegood. She's a pretty good seer and a pretty tricky witch too."

"It is my pleasure to meet you Luna. I knew your mother, sorry dear that you lost her so tragically, your father is a very sweet man I know him quite well."

"Thank you, uh.. Birdy, the pleasure is mine. Father told me a little about you too."

Adam started to introduce Neville to his mother when she said, "You're Frank and Alice's boy Neville aren't you? You look just like your father did when he was that age."

"Uh, yes ma'am, I'm Neville Longbottom. You knew my parents? I'd love to talk to you about them, I only see them in St. Mungo's."

"St. Mungo's? What happened?"

"Dumbledore must not have told you. Mum and Dad were held under The Cruciatus Curse until they became insane."

"Oh, Neville, I'm so sorry I asked it was in very poor taste to make you talk about that. Well dear, maybe I have something that can help them out somewhere in my library, I'll look for it. Severus can help me. We have potions ingredients here that you wouldn't believe! How does that sound precious?"

"Anything that would help would be wonderful Birdy, thanks."

After that bit of embarassment, Adam moved on to...

"Mama, this is Blaise Zabini, Gregory Goyle and Vincent Crabbe."

"Pleased to meet you ma'am" Greg, Vince and Blaise all said shaking Birdy's hand one at a time.

"I told you to call me Birdy. It's my pleasure to meet you as well. I knew your fathers and mothers boys, sorry you're without family at the present time, but we'll make sure you feel at home and welcome. Oh, excuse me, I'm sorry young lady, you are?..."

"Mother, this is Hermione Granger. We call her 'Mione. She's a whiz at spells and stuff and she flys great too."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Hermione. We'll see how well you all fly tomorrow but I think it's time to go inside. It's pretty warm, I think it's about 110 right now and I'd like to cool off."

"The pleasure is all mine Birdy. Is it really that hot? If it was that warm in Britain, we'd all melt for sure."

"I think you're right. Severus, why don't you take off that cloak and get comfortable."

"Mama, we're kinda hungry is there anything to eat?" Adam said to his mother, reaching for her shoulder and waving the others to follow up to the giant ranch house.

Pipsqueak mentalled to everyone as she took off for her mountain top home,'Call when you need me children, I love you all' Birdy and the others waved to the great bird as it took off in a mighty flap of wings, sparks trailing behind her and a thunderclap sounded as she brought her wingtips together underneath her and she disappeared.

Adam and the other birthday boys didn't know what was going to happen when they got inside. Birdy was walking with Severus and Adam, Ron and Hermione, Harry and Draco, Blaise and Luna, Neville and Ginny, Greg and Vince and Fred and George walked all holding hands up to the gate outside Thundercloud Palace.

Adam thought to the Thunderbirds 'Wait til you guys get a load of this'
'What are you talking about Ada...' The Tbirds thought at once but were stilled suddenly.

The Thunderbirds and Severus and Little Bird walked under the magical gates to Thundercloud Palace and a huge building stood before them, the charm hiding the real look of Thundercloud Palace lifted and the grandeur of the most beautiful adobe palace stood before them. Lush green lawns were covered with stands of willow trees, cotton woods, and pines. Peacocks roamed the grounds tail feathers were fully extended making themselves beautiful. There was a pond at the edge of the sloping lawn with Flamingos sunning themselves on the ponds edge. Hanging gardens surrounded the walls of the massive house. The walk way was paved with turquoise. Simply put, Thundercloud Palace was beautiful.

Adam and the other Thunderbirds were a bit tired since they hadn't had any sleep save for Harry and Draco, but the JPUP was doing it's job and it was officially still Harry and Draco's wedding day, not to mention it was their birthday as well as Neville's and...Adam's.

None of the guests had any idea what one Empress Little Bird Thundercloud had in store for them. Adam hadn't had a chance to talk with his mother in a long time and he was anxious to tell her about Charley and about all the things that had happened while he was in Britain. He couldn't wait to tell her about the palefaces... boy did he have stories to tell.

The entrance hall to Thundercloud Palace was still nicely lit from the sunshine that was still high in the western sky, and since it was still very much summer, the Thunderbirds had taken off their jackets and cloaks and were dressed as Adam had suggested, wearing cool clothes, none of them opted for shorts except the ladies of the group. Little Bird herself, was wearing a very light robe and light clothes under it. The little people that took care of the Palace took the cloaks and jackets from the travelers when they came inside and put them into the rooms that would be their home for the next month.

Little Bird escorted her company down the long hallway to the back of the house where the family, which was herself and Adam, spent much of their time, everyone was chatting excitedly while they walked.

Occasionally they would stop and admire a relic of the times when armies tried to conquer the Magical Navajo Nation. The museum pieces were nothing but the spoils of war and Birdy despised them, but kept them where her ancestors had placed them as a symbol of their strength.

Draco and Harry were leaning on each other and looking at furnishings thinking that they would like something like the furniture in the palace. Completely North American in style and not a hint of opulence to it. They admired sculptures and basket collections, the plants, the color's, everything they looked at, they loved. Of course as newlyweds things like that were bound to catch their eyes.

Thundercloud Palace did not look like a wizarding home, and that was what made it so appealing to them. So far the only thing magical they saw were the little people that looked like house elves, but they wore clothes that looked, well cute on them and they didn't seem to mind.

Harry and Draco and were sure the party goer's in Britain at the Manor hadn't ever witnessed the power of house elves as a collected group like they did the night they danced in the light of the elven realm.

Severus was chatting quietly with Birdy, Ron and Hermione oddly enough. The four of them were quite a bit ahead of the others, no one however was going to get lost though since the destination was straight ahead, the others would catch up.

"Severus, Ron, Hermione, I have a party just down the hall for those boys and I need a diversion for just a minute. You guys communicate empathically don't you?..." Ron and Hermione nodded. Severus now knew a secret. Ron was tempted to obliviate his potions professor but got an eye from his hostess, she could also communicate that way too.

"...ok, now just up ahead there's a game room, lots of magic stuff to do, go in there and wait for me to call you in for a bite to eat, I'm sure you didn'thave enough to eat too long ago."

Ron said, much to the dismay of his girlfriend and the amusement of Severus,

"I don't know about the others Birdy ma'am, but, since we transformed into Thunderbirds, we grew muscles we didn't know we had, and aged 5 years in looks and everytime we bloody do anything magical at all we're usually hungry. But, what has that to do with how we communicate?"

"Don't think about the party. That's why I wanted to know. I have gifts for everyone, including you Severus. I'll tell you why later, but for now, get everyone in the room we're just coming up on. We'll be just down the rest of the way to the end of the corridor. The door on this room is warded and it's soundproof so have a ball and try some of the things you find in there. It's all post seventh year stuff and I understand that you've all passed your NEWTs so it should all make sense. Keep them all busy for ten minutes alright?" Birdy had commanded the whole conversation, but time was important and she needed ten minutes of it.

"Ok Birdy, I know we can get the others to help us tease our newlyweds for a bit."

"That reminds me, Lily gave me something when I left Britain, I think I'll give it back to him. Who made the dreamcatcher charm he's wearing?"

"We all did, Adam did the incantation though"

"He did? Well, seems he got his inheritance a bit early. Did he show Dumbledore his grandfather's book?"

"Yes and no. Yes he showed him the book, but he didn't let him hold it, touch it or read it. Pretty clever how he didn't do what the headmaster wanted."

"Pretty stubborn if you ask me. Just like that paleface father of his. Crazy black hair, and look at those eyes. Those are not Navajo eyes, they're as blue as they get. He looks just like Sirius. I heard about what happened to him. We'll pull his sorry ass out of that veil. I'll show you how. Severus can help. I remember he's pretty good with incantations and such. Well here they come. You keep them busy for me now for ten minutes..."Birdy whispered as the others approached.

She didn't miss the hand holding and she spoke up a bit louder,

"... in this room you can find all sorts of muggle devices. pity they think its magic, but it is amusing. There are refreshments in there, but don't spoil your appetites. I'd like to talk to Severus for a while, we have some catching up to do. I know what You look like Crying Bird, so take your friends in there and watch some muggle films on the television. I had a giant plasma screen put in there just after you left me all alone in this big old house..." Birdy mock pouted, sticking her bottom lip out.

"...Were any of you good in muggle studies?"

"My parents are muggles Birdy. Dentists, they have tons of muggle electronics. I know how to use them." Hermione said for her friends.

They were grateful, because besides her, only Harry had lived in the muggle world.

"Harry lived with muggles before he came to Hogwarts, so he knows how to work many of them too."

"What do you mean Harry lived with muggles? Who? Who put him with muggles when he could have lived right here." Birdy was saying her hair was begining to billow because her intrinsic magic barrier was wearing thin. She was getting mad.

"Uh, Ma, calm down a bit,oryay oinggayootay airscay ethay alepay acesfay..." Adam said sing songy to his mama.

"Merlin Adam, must you use that horrible language? Didn't you learn anything in Britain besides how to schmooze your mama?

Now who made Harry live with muggles and it better not have been Albus or I'm going to give him a piece of my mind."

"Birdy," Severus started, trying to calm her down, "Albus did indeed leave Harry with muggles, of the worst kind, they refused to let him attend Hogwarts until Albus sent Hagrid for him.

He had been underfed, made to livein thecupboard under the stairs until the time his letters arrived, and as such, they were destroyed everytime one arrived until Albus had had enough and sent ten thousand letters hoping that Harry would get one and keep it.

He was taken to an island off shore to an abandoned lighthouse. That's when Hagrid brought him to London to get his things for school and he for the first time, realized he was a wizard when he got the wand which is brother to the one that Voldemort carries.

The scar he carries on his forehead is the result of a backfired Avada Kedavra Curse.

The scar he carries on his arm is the result of the blood ritual performed by Peter Petigrew to resurect Voldemortthis year. The scar on he has on his wrists are from the woman Fudge sent to Hogwarts lastterm to created havoc and caos, abandoning, praciticing defence against the dark arts, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Luna, Neville all were teachers in defense because, after Harry got to Hogwarts..."

'God is he long winded.' Birdy thought

'Don't you know it Birdy' Ginny thought back.

"...he was confronted with the dark lord twice more and lived again still."

"Are you going to tell me that that nice looking young man had to face that piece-of-shit of a wizard three times already?"

"Well, Birdy, not exactly." Severus said meekly.

"We're all going into the game room. Now." Birdy commanded her guests. She alone knew why they were there. To learn, they were going to listen to Mama Birdy .

"Ok now, who wants to go first? How about since were talking about you Harry, maybe you'd like to tell your mothers BEST FRIEND alllllllll about it? Hmmm sweetheart? Don't you worry a bit, I'm not mad at you at all!"

"Well, Birdy, there's not much to tell."

"Try dear. and make it good, don't leave anything out and I'll decide if I'll let Albus live or die after the war is over. Sorry dear, he promised me a few things when I left."

"Well, Birdy ma'm, "

"You dear can call me godmother dear, or godmum or MaBirdy, now tell me, all about it."

"Godmother?" Harry was gobsmacked.

"Yes dear, now tell me all about it."

"Well, in the second year at school..."

"Wait a minute, let me refresh. Asshole tried to AK you when you were a baby. Ok thats one death for him., next, you live with muggles for ten years and they didn't tell you you were a wizard. Who were they dear?"

"Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon and Dudley."

"Oh Merlin no. Horseface and Lardass. Damn., I take it they were the ones that kept you from magic and your heritage and kept you in a closet?"

"Yes, under the stairs"

"Under the stairs. I see. Hagrid had to fetch you on an island and take you to London?"

"Yes to Diagon Alley to get my school things. I got the brother wand to Voldemorts"

"And that's why he tried to kill you again."

"No, the first time, we were serving detention for helping Hagrid get his pet baby dragon rescued to Romania and we were in the forbidden forest."

"The forbidden forest in your first year. Dragons. Merlin. Sorry. Continue."

"Well, we were hunting for a wounded unicorn and we, that is, my husband Draco, only he wasn't my husband then, we were really, well, rivals."

"Ok rivals. get on with it."

The Thunderbirds were rather enjoying the grilling that Harry was getting, he wasn't really in trouble, but he was kind of on the spot, he couldn't lie and Little Bird knew it and she was dragging the highlights out.

"Well, we were in the forest, me and Draco and Fang, thats Hagrid's dog, and Draco and I came across a slain unicorn and something was feasting on it, it was the half life of Voldemort and he attacked me after Draco ran off screaming. Firenze rescued me that time and stayed with me till Hagrid, Hermione, Ron and Draco came back for me. Firenze kind of told me what was in the castle and thats what got me to face not only him but professor Quirrile who was letting him live on the back of his head, my scar really hurt when he took off his turban and there he was. Voldemort."

"What was he doing on the back of his head besides occupying space?"

"Well, he was after the Sorcerers Stone."

"He obviously didn't get it or he'd have been back sooner."

"Well, no, I had it and the professor tried to kill me but I burnt him up."

"No doubt a love protection charm. I told your mama that might come in handy considering the times."

"That's what Dumbledore said. Anyway, the professor turned to dust and Voldemort's spirit rammed through me and then I woke up in the infirmiry a while later."

"Merlins grey beard. He tried to kill you three times."

"Well, no, after I went home for holidays, my uncle put bars on my window. A house elf didn't want me back in school. Ron and his brothers rescued me that time from Privet Drive in their flying car. Got in a right bit of trouble when we flew to school that year Ha! Then that willow tree almost killed us when we flew straight into it.

Well, that year, several students were petrified, Hermione was one of those that was but not before she discovered that it was a basilisk that was doing it and we found out later that it was Voldemort again who was trying to possess Ginny and then he set the basilisk on me. I killed itand I killed the memory of Voldemort that was killing Ginny. That was the fourth time, but the basilisk did manage to lose a fang in my arm when I killed it."

"I don't want to hear any more for now Harry, my head is going to explode. I am so mad at Albus right now, I'm going to turn you all into unspeakables before you leave here so help me. Good thing you're all here. Hey, you're all here, I think I'll just pop on over and pay him a visit. I'll be right back. You all stay here, I'll only be ten minutes. Forgot that Adam can carry the wards. Be right back." And Little Bird Thundercloud disapparated from the spot.

"Wonder where she went?" Harry wondered aloud.

"If you ask me lover, I think the headmaster is getting an earful."

"If I were a wagering man Harry, Draco, I would guess that you were 100 right." Severus said. The groups attention was drawn to the moving picture screen that Hermione had managed to get going and they were quite occupied for about twenty minutes when Little Bird came back into the room.

"Hiya everyone, I'm back. Sorry to have popped off like that but I had to cool down and I thought Scotland would be a good place to do it." Birdy said smiling and giving Severus a wink.

"So, now, turn that thing off and come on into the dining room, it's time for a little bite to eat and I have a few surprises. First is, I have something for each of you, sorry Severus, you can have a different surprise later, but this one is for the kids."

"They're grown adults Birdy, but, as you wish, let us go." Severus said, no disappointment in that mans voice.

The fifteen witches and wizards went into the dining room for a nice southwest dinner of enchiladas, frijoles, rice, cornbread with butter and honey and glasses of milk. Adams favorite meal of all time. He thanked his mother with a kiss and he sat down with his brother and cousin. He told his mother of the wonderful gift that Harry gave him and his mother was pleased that he didn't get Sirius' money because the titles and properties were more than enough. Adam had quite a bit of money himself. Supper was going along very nicely when it was announced that it was time for desert.

The dishes were gone and new ones were in their places in a blink of an eye. Fifteen portions of flaming desert appeared suddenly. Everone followed Adam's example and blew out their desserts, and tucked in. The looks on everyones faces was one of pure delight because they were eating an delicacy in the heart of Arizona in the summertime, Baked Alaska! The hot fieiry outside surrounding a frozen delight inside. After everyone had finished their desserts and had coffee or tea or milk, fourteen of them were very tired and ready to go to bed, even Draco and Harry would have to postpone their 'first time' as husband and husband because they were just plum tired.

"Well, it looks like the gift giving can wait until tomorrow. Why don't you all go on off to bed. Severus, you can stay in the west wing across from my room. The kids can follow Adam off to where their things are and go to bed. They look beat."

"Indeed."

"Good night children!"

"Night ma."

"Goodnight Birdy. It is nice meeting you at last. Mother sends her best wishes by the way." Draco said for his husband and himself.

"Draco dear, Harry love, wait for one minute won't you?" Birdy said sweetly in a mom tone that sounded like they could trust the instant it was used on them.

"Yes Birdy what can we do for you?" Draco said still holding his husbands hand giving it a squeeze, it was again their wedding night but sleep was calling to them.

"I wonder if you could give me five minutes of your time Harry, I need to see some things in your mind. Don't worry, I won't intrude on personal things, but I can see your history in a matter of minutes. It won't hurt at all and then, I have a gift for you." Birdy said almost pleading like a mother would with a three year old, bribing him.

"I don't see what five more minutes would mean to a good nights rest. OK, but Draco and I are incredibly tired."

"Thank you dear. Have a seat right here and sit back and relax. Draco, why don't you hold his hands, it will help him to concentrate."

Draco did as he was instructed and held Harry's hands. Birdy stood behind the chair that Harry was sitting in and put her hands on either side of his head. Draco watched in rapt amazement as the powerful sorceress made a magical connection with his husband's head.

Light began to pulse from Harry's head, to Birdy's fingers, up her arm and into her head. Draco watched the woman that was his cousin's mother, contort her face and then smile and then scowl and look shocked the next minute. She was crying when she let go of Harry's head. She took one look into the deep green eyes of one of her best friends children and she had seen everything working from the present backwards.

She saw what Harry saw everytime he was near a Dementor, she saw and heard the murders of Harry's father and her friend Lily, she also heard the spell that Lily uttered before she herself succumbed to the Avada Kedavra curse, the one that saved Harry from the killing curse and has to that day protected him from Voldemort.

"Oh Merlin Harry, If I had known that Sirius was innocent that day he waited for the MLE and he was arrested for something I knew he couldn't have commited, Oh, my goodness, after your parents were... I'm sorry Harry, I have no words for my lack of action sooner. When Albus said you were taken care of I thought he meant with a wizarding family not horsesface and the walrus." Birdy said thinking of Petunia and Vernon.

Harry thought not much had changed, at least they had bad dreams thanks to the Thunderbirds and some well placed memory charms.

"It's alright Birdy, I managed to survive both the Dursleys and Voldemort and now I have one of the most powerful wizards on the planet as my bonded soul mate, who happens to be cousin to the son of my godfather and, he's my husband. I have you to thank for making all of this..."

Harry made to move his hands in a grand sweeping gesture,

"...possible. No gifts are necessary Birdy, I have everything I could possibly ever need or want."

"That's what you think young man. You remember that mirror of Erised? Well, it showed you what you wanted to see the most. I suppose, what you wanted the most at that time was a family and you wondered about your own. I suppose you didn't step into the mirror did you?"

"You mean that I could have stepped into the mirror and touched my mother and father? Dumbledore didn't tell me that."

"Yes, I don't suppose he would have. Well, I have something you might like to have none the less. I have other things that will do very nicely, but this one you might like to have for yourself. Come with me, it's just this way. You know I had a party planned for you and Adam and Neville and you too Draco dear, but after what I heard, I was a bit overwhelmed with something I haven't felt in many years. I was actually mad at Albus, but he did the right thing in the end leaving you with your aunt and uncle. Your mother wasn't a mudblood, she was the child of two squibs, your grandparents of course knew this. They died just after Lily and Petunia had both finished school. Lily of course married your father and let Petunia keep living in the house on Privet drive. You own half of that house did you know that dear?"

Birdy was making small talk but she had given him more information in the last 30 seconds than he'd had in the last 16 years. He just raised an eyebrow and let Birdy continue.

"Ah, well, I see that your aunt has kept that from you rather conveniently. Vernon might have done worse to you if he thought that you'd make him pay youfor half of the house. You ought to you know, just to see if you can get one of those veins in his head to actually pop. I never liked that paleface."

Draco was taking this all in with Harry but he was giggling silently listening to the story as they walked slowly hand in hand.

"Well, you two, in the next month, I am going to fill your heads with so much information and bust your butts with practice, you can finally kill that dirty rotten bastard once and for all. Here we are. Lily, James wake up." Birdy said to a portrait hanging on the wall above where they were standing.

The portrait above was one of Lily and James holding a baby Harry, sans lightening bolt. "Who did you bring with you Birdy? He looks like Lucius Malfoy and that looks like...James, this is our Harry. Oh Birdy, you've brought him to us. I thought that you said he was killed... Oh, Harry, love, let us look at you!" The portrait of Lily and James started to talk at the stunned pair, Birdy was just standing by watching a reunion of sorts a tear in her eye. James was the next to speak,

"Harry my boy, you've grown into a remarkable looking young man. Who is this with you? It's not Lucius, he never smiles. Oh, I know, it's Draco isn't it? Narcissa's portrait would love to see you... let me go get her. I'll be right back. Here dear, hold the baby."

James' portrait self said and was off in an instant returning with a stunning blond younger version of Draco's mother. Draco had noticed that very little had changed and he was pleased. "Hello mother. It's me Draco and this is my husband, Harry."

"Your husband!" the threeportraits said at once.

"Yes, my husband and a right powerful wizard. He's going to kill Voldemort and we'll be done with this whole episode. We will have children to raise and there is no room for Voldemort and our children at the same time." Draco sneered and then hugged his husband close.

Birdy said to the three of the portrait parents,

"I told you three, but would you listen? Nooooo, you've been rubbing it in for the last almost fifteen years and I finally get the last laugh. I'm giving this portrait to Harry and Draco for a wedding gift. James, you can teach him some of that freaky Potter family magic if you want and you Lil's you can just mama him a bit if you'd like. I think their children will get a kick out of seeing their papa as a baby in your arms. Think of the stories you can tell them."

It dawned on the portrait selves of Lily and James that they would be going back to England again and they could travel from portrait to portrait and visit old friends. There wasn't much that portraits could do but visiting each other was one of them.

"How many children are you planning on having you two?" Birdy asked Draco and Harry.

"Well, we've been told that it was more than likely that it would be more than one the first time." Harry said to Birdy, he didn't know how many there would be but he knew that Draco was indeed with child.

"Let me take a look at you Draco dear." Birdy said waving her hand at Draco so his aura would slow down its flashing.

"Ok, there's one, two, three, uh, four, five, six, three boys and three girls. Draco honey, you're going to be big as a house. Did Albus tell you how fast you would be carrying those babies?" Birdy said with a sort of worried look on her face.

"Huh uh." Draco paled. So did Harry a bit.

---

Suddenly it seemed that Draco and Harry wanted to talk with Birdy and say good night to the portrait.

James and Lily and Narcissa all followed along as far as they could from portrait to portrait until they were out of paintings to zip in and out of listening to the conversation as it played out.

"Ok grandpa, lets get back to our frame, goodnight Nana Narcissa." Lily said to her painted friend and husband. Lily and James would be talking until the wee hours of the morning. Grandparents and at their age too. 22 years old. Of course their portrait was 15 years old but that didn't matter to them. They were still happy with the baby Harry they carried with them everywhere.

"So, you see Draco, Harry, your Thunderbird training will be a bit tough physically on you both, but, I think that the babies won't have a thing to worry about. Draco, you can wear a support when it's necessary, it balances you out. Can't say your bladder won't suffer as a result of it, but your power will be very strong while you're with child."

Birdy finished for the moment and Draco only leaned on his husband. This was alot to take in. Birdy sensed this and offered the two young lovers a minute alone to reflect before she showed them to their room for the next month.

It was still rather early in the Arizona evening and the other Thunderbirds had settled into their rooms, Adam had been the last to climb the only flight of stairs up to the bedroom levels from the living areas below, it was still a right long walk and he didn't want to leave his brother and his cousin with his mother too long. There were things that Adam had told Draco and Harry that he didn't exactly want his mother to know just yet, namely things about one flame haired dragon handler named Charley.

Adam thought to the Thunderbirds, 'Hey gang, if your up to it, it's still my birthday and I have something for Neville and the lovebirds if 'YOU TWO EVER GET BACK UP HERE.'

"You don't have to shout Adam, we're right behind you" Draco said.

Harry was rubbing his head, they had been pretty close when Adam shouted mentally.

"What did my mom tell you? Did she ask how you bonded? Did she ask you about what I did while I was in England?"

Harry and Draco were kind of in a daze. They had just met Harry's parent's, had found out that they were going to have six babies and their powers were only going to become stronger. They really weren't paying attention to Adam's oral questioning.

"Hey, you guys ok? You look like someone smacked your gob."

The Weasley twins came up to the slowly assembling group in the hallway and they heard Adam try his English phrase.

"That's Gob.. smacked, mate. Who's gobsmacked anyway?" Fred and George said at the same time.

"I suppose that would be Harry and myself George. Adam's mother informed us as to the sex of our children."

"Well Draco, what are they? a boy and a girl, two boy's, two girls what?" George asked.

Harry only smirked a bit and then laughed and said. "Yes."

"You've got me there mate, now, which is it?"

"You were right, George, it's a boy and a girl, and two boys and two girls"

"That's six babies Harry. Draco is he serious?"

"It seems so. I understand it, that it is on a good authority, that hasn't been wrong in... what was it Harry? 20 years?"

"Yes"

"Blimey Harry aren't you going to say anything but bloody yes?" Draco said to Harry beginning to sound a bit desperate.

"Yes...We're going to have a bloody big family. Looks like that bloody wine glass wasn't completely on was it?"

"Well, I suppose one of them could have been hiding. They did look to be five or six years old."

"What are you two bloody on about?" Ron and Hermione had joined the group in the hallway.

"Harry and Draco are going to have six baby Thunderbirds thats what." Adam said to Ron who turned a bit whiter than normal and Hermione only gasped when she said under her breath.

"Luna only saw five. Oops. " Hermione blurted.

"What's that Granger?" Draco said, catching the last thing that Hermione had uttered.

"I uh, oh, Merlin I wish I could fib just a bit. Luna and Ginny and I saw you with five babies. She had a vision and we helped her clear it up. Just like the night you boys all changed into those costumes we wore to the Dursleys... oops, damn.."

It was Ron who blushed the most. His brother saw how embarrassed he was at the thought of his sister and Luna and Hermione seeing the lot of them naked and not all of them were suffering from shrinkage.

"Oi, Hermione, which one of us .."

"...did you think had the best bum?" George and Fred said to a rapidly blushing Hermione. Luna and the Slytherins and Neville all joined their friends in the hallway when they heard Georges question. Luna knew what was making Hermione blush and she knew what was coming.

"Luna, dear, do please try to keep your prying eyes out of places in which they do not belong." Draco said, he knew that his message was clear. The Slytherin boys and Neville were still in the dark at this new development in their relationships.

"You want to tell them Hermione? or Luna? or you Ginny?" Harry said to the three females of their group.

"Well, wesortofwatchedyouchangeintoyourNavajocostumes" Hermione said to the boys.

Blaise was a bit amused, Luna had confessed this to him previously but the Slytherin in him prevented him from using the information lest he give away his girlfriend's secret.

Ginny said for all of them, "I for one have seen many a Weasley willie, hard not to considering where we grew up, but Neville's looked to suit me, so it doesn't matter what you're all worked up about. That's what growing up is all about. And by the way boys, it looks like you've all grown up very nicely, especially you two." looking at Harry and Draco.

"Ginny! What would mum say?" Ron said to his unabashed sister.

"You want to find out?" Ginny challenged.

"No" Ron said defeated

"I rest my case. Just so you'll all quit wondering, you've got nothing to be ashamed of. Gives new meaning to strong wizards!" Ginny said flipping hair over her shoulder.

She was walking away towards the downstairs and perhaps something to eat when two hands caught her on her shoulders. It was Neville.

"Well then, I suppose that the ice is broken and I can quit wondering. Ginny would you like to go out with me? I mean like boyfriend-girlfriend?" Neville said boldly at the scarlet haired beauty.

"It took you long enough to make a move Neville. Honestly, besides Adam who has eyes for my brother, we're the last two to make a couple if you haven't noticed." Ginny said, her eyes twinkling that special something that girls do before they snog someone.

"Does that mean ye..." Neville was silenced by a pair of lips that were being pulled up to meet his.

"Shut it Neville. Yes. I'm starved. Now lets get something to eat. Are any of you hungry? There's still a couple hours of birthday left for our boys." Ginny said and she resumed her trek to the kitchen and was followed by 10 others.

Harry and Draco opted to go to thier room and make love finally on their wedding night before sleep overtook them once again. Food could wait until the morning. The hunger in the two newlywed's eyes was much more pressing.

---

Little Bird was pacing back and forth in front of her fireplace when she heard the footsteps of the guests that she thought had gone to bed. She listened to what they were saying as she hadn't heard live British accents in many years and it brought back some good and some bad memories for her. She had decided that she would not allow her son or the ones he called brother and cousin or their friends suffer the losses for their generation that her's had and have the sad memories that went with them.

She already knew that Harry had suffered greatly from the loss of Sirius and it seemed everyone that had ever loved him was gone. She was about to change that for all of them. In the last almost seventeen years that she had been high protector for the Magical Navajo Nation, she had grown a hundred fold more powerful than the day she had taken over the work her father had done as leader of their people. She had raised volunteer armies of magical Navajo warriors, she had sent her only son and heir to the throne of their land to England to face the destroyer of lives.

It would only be a matter of time when Voldemort or some other insane dark magic user would try her defenses and they would be smote as fast as they attacked her. She was going to teach those children how to win a war. It was not going to be pretty and with one of them pregnant, it was important that they learned everything she could remember to tell them.

Some things they would discover themselves. Being Thunderbirds was one thing, but as mages their human form was much more deadly and they would need to learn how to control it if they wanted to live-lives of peace. She looked for one of the spell books she had seen in the Hogwarts library and had bought for herself because of it's popularity, it contained a quick learn spell not unlike the one that they had cast upon them before they arrived in Arizona. 'Ah yes, this should help' Birdy thought to herself as she listened to the Thunderbirds as they passed the room she was in.
She had an idea and since it was her that put the end to the merry making, she had changed her mind when a light bulb went off over her head, she had an idea and called out to them.

"Hey kids, I wanna talk to you for a minute. Go on and get yourselves something to eat, theres plenty in the dining room. We can talk in there. I'm sorry I kind of lost my cool back there when I found out about Harry. I'm sorry I ruined the birthday party I had planned. I'll make it up to you." Birdy said from behind the passing group of young adult witches and wizards.

"Sure mama, come and eat with us. It's just breakfast time in Wiltshire." Adam said to his mother holding his hand out for her to take. Birdy grabbed her baby boy's hand and she began to tease him a bit like she did when he was a baby but he took it pretty well considering he was with his "gang".

Birdy led them into one of the rooms that Adam particularly liked and she had had it decorated with his favorite colors. His favorite music group was heard in the background playing guitar instrumentals. Birdy waved her hand and changed the supper foods that were on the table still hot and waiting, for breakfast foods, southwest style.

"I thought you kids would like some good food for a change. There's plenty so don't worry about emptying your plates and filling them again. Adam, Hermione is it? and Ronald, I'd like for you to sit up at the head of the table with me. I have some questions I'd like you all to answer for me. I have a few presents for my birthday boys. Where are Harry and Draco?"

"Uh, Ma, they just got married..."

"I know that, I just thought they'd be with you is all. Poor dears."

Birdy made a swishy wave with her hand when no one was looking she gave the newlyweds a present that they wouldn't forget soon.

Harry and Draco forgot about going to sleep and were having the time of their lives each having had at least three orgasms and they were working furiously at that moment on their fourth.

"Oh, Harrrrrrryy, you feel like you've grown another two inches and are much fatter... OH MERLIN..." Draco said with clenched shut eyes.

Harry looked at the blond man beneath him and he couldn't believe what he saw. Draco's willie had grown another two inches and was as big around as his wrist. Harry closed his eyes and said Draco's name over and over and told him how much he loved him. It wasn't much longer than the two men had the most intense climaxes of their lives. The two laid paralyzed, stuck together with the emense amount of seed that Draco had erupted from his now enormous wang. Harry was still inside Draco when he began to regain motion. He began to withdraw from his husband and that caused him to moan in disappointment, but the two would never forget their first night as married men.

Downstairs in the room where the Thunderbirds and Empress Thundercloud were getting along and eating and laughing and telling the story about how they had rounded up over a hundred death eaters and how the ones that were damaging the wards protecting Malfoy Manor were caught off guard by the Thunderbirds and how they were disposed of.

Adam's mother just patted his arm and when she had told Adam that personally she would have bit thier heads off first, Hermione and Ron and Neville almost choked on whatever they were eating. Ron had milk come out of his nose and that caused quite a bit of laughter all about. Birdy cleaned him up with a wave of her hand and gave him another glass of milk this time cautioning him to try not to laugh and drink at the same time. Red didn't even begin to describe Ron's color.

Breakfast at 10 pm was kind of unusual for everyone. It was a new taste sensation for everyone and the Thunderclouds were talking to each other quietly while everyone ate. Harry and Draco managed to untangle from the heap that they were in a half hour ago and get into a shower and rejoin their friends.

The chatter and the smell of something oddly foreign but entirely scrumptious brought the two ravenous newlyweds out of their bedroom, even food was now more important than sleep. Harry and Draco sat with their friends, Ginny and Neville got up and let Harry and Draco sit close to 'Birdy' as she insisted on being called, and moved down and sat with Greg and Vince and Luna and Blaise. Everyone had been having quiet conversations speculating on their upcoming activities. They all knew how hot it was in the Arizona summer daytime, and if legend was true, the fires of Hades were cooler.

This somewhat amused Birdy and Adam because they were used to the climate. Adam always felt a bit cool in Britain he told his mother. He was excited when even in July he could sometimes see his breath it was so cool in London. He got to experience fog almost every morning because the Manor was so close to the Atlantic Ocean and he loved the feel of the clouds on the ground. His mother listened to her son tell her the things that she herself had discovered many years ago about a country that was entirely different than her homeland.

She smiled when she had heard that he got to finally see some dragons. He had been pestering her to let him go on a trip to find some but she managed to kill two birds with one stone when she suggested to Albus that he get himself a dragon squadron for protection in the sky. She hadn't heard yet about Adam's interest in one of the dragon handlers. Birdy wasn't much on ceremony when it was just Adam and close friends and she considered the Thunderbirds as she did Adam so that made them family in her eyes when she went to her robes and pulled out her wand, something that she hardly ever did anymore and Adam became quiet.

The Thunderbirds noticed that Adam was just looking at his mother and he had closed his eyes. Birdy told them all to close their eyes because they were all getting presents and she wanted to see their faces when they opened their eyes.

Birdy waved her wand about in an intricate rune pattern and said an incantation in Navajo. Adam of course knew what she had said but he didn't know the rune pattern she did because his eyes were closed. The thirteen Thunderbirds all opened their eyes when Birdy said "Surprise everyone, open your eyes."

The Thunderbirds looked at what they were now wearing. Harry was a bit uncomfortable because his clothes fit just a bit too snugly in certain places he was just getting used to. The same went for Draco who looked a bit perplexed at his new clothes.

"Battle Dress uniforms of the Order of the Thunderbirds. They haven't been worn in almost sixty years. I have to admit that they look even more stunning on you than I had imagined. Do you like them?"

The Thunderbirds were indeed stunned. They were wearing full length robes of some kind of material that they had never felt before, somehow they were clingy and comfortable, a deep midnight blue with diamond studs, Thunderbird emblems on the fronts, diamond studded hoods and fur lined cuffs. Underneath they were wearing custom made dragon hide trousers with boots that came up almost to their knees, buckles made of gold, buttons of silver. Their blouses were made of another strange material that clung to their forms, the girls were outfitted with special "ladies" protection and they were all wearing dragon hide vests studded with turquoise, and silver.

They looked striking as they all stood and admired themselves. Birdy said another incantation and each of them had their hair braided and laced with a magical rope. Harry and Draco were amazed at the looks of each other. Harry's hair for the first time ever was combed straight back and was neatly braided down his back. Draco made his thoughts on this subject known immediately and asked Birdy for that particular spell. Birdy laughed and had to think a minute about translating the spell from Navajo into something that Draco could pronounce.

She told him instead that she would be teaching them all battle spells and she would arm them with special rings that would allow them to communicate with each other and keep Dumbledore out of their heads. She had noticed the rings that they all wore and had her suspicions about them and she was correct.

She had permission of the other two wizarding governments to teach the Thunderbirds ancient Navajo battle magic as it seemed that it might be effective once again in defeating a dark wizard and his armies.
Birdy went to each of the Thunderbirds and adjusted their uniforms for them and then changed them into pajamas and invited them into her Hogan room to tell them the true reason for their being in Arizona so much sooner than they had expected.

She was nervous about talking war with such young warriors but they wielded the power necessary to do away with Voldemort once and for all and she was a determined witch.

"Everyone find a nice comfy spot and have some hot chocolate, grab a blanket and sit around the fire, I have some things to tell you out loud now that you're out of earshot of any potential spies. This room cannot be scryed so what goes on in here literally stays here until you take it out. Now that that is out of the way, I have a story to tell you. If you look at the fire, you can follow along. One of you is a seer... that must be you young lady, you've hardly said a thing all night. Is there something wrong?"

Luna looked at the powerful sorceress and she had that look on her face that the Thunderbirds had become used to by now and they all made to reach for her.

When the thirteen Thunderbirds had connected, Birdy put her hand on Luna's head and closed her eyes, she was seeing what the voiceless witch was seeing. The ministry of magic was on fire, witches and wizards were running to the emergency escape floo's, many of them too late as they were being felled with the green light of the killing curse before they could utter their destinations in the magical fires.

None of the Order members could be seen, Narcissa's office was empty when the field of vision that Luna had been guiding them on went that way, Luna had been with Harry and Hermione and Neville and Ron at the dept of mysteries and she had been there numerous times with her father when he interviewed Fudge.

Birdy began to speak in Navajo and her hair began to billow out the magic in the air was palpable. Luna was still in the middle of her vision when Birdy touched her head. Once again she could see witches and wizards being felled by death eaters when she uttered the trigger word for her spell and the thirteen Thunderbirds all withdrew their hands, Luna slumped forward, Blaise catching her.

"What in the name of Merlin did you just do Birdy? What are we going to do? The ministry is under attack."

"Calm down. Is everyone alright?" Birdy said with a concerned voice looking at each of the bewildered Thunderbirds. Birdy conjured a huge chunk of chocolate and gave it to Luna who was suddenly in need of it, thanking her and tucking into the sweet.

"We just shut down the magic in the ministry building. If the Order gets there and the aurors that were outside go in right now, I think they'll find 500 or so squibs inside. I'll eagle Albus with the counterspell for the ones that were caught by mistake. That should let Voldemort know he's not going to terrorize honest witches and wizards anymore. Now, Luna are you alright really dear? I have some things to tell you all and I'd like to do it now."

"Yes Birdy, the chocolate seemed to do the trick. I feel fine now. That was the first time I ever had a vision from so far away."

"Well, I suspect that it won't be the last. That kids was an example of the kind of magic that you're all capable of, you are now officially combatants in the second dark war of the 20th century."

Birdy's words really hit home with the teens as they all looked to each other not fully realizing what they had just done.

"Collectively, you all saw Luna's vision just as clearly as I did and I'm not even a part of your company. I used sort of a transcontinental, transAtlantic magical shut down spell and everyone in that building is now incapable of magic for a few hours. The D.E.'s can all be rounded up safely, the wizards that were there legitimately, will be restored their magic in a few hours. That should give ol Voldemort a calling card from me. I'm sorry I used you as a conduit Luna but I couldn't let that killing go on. The fire's I assume will be put out by the buildings anticonflagration wards."

The teens all looked to each other for comfort, each finding a partner except for Adam who had his mama and he went to her and wrapped his arms around the small woman who scared the living daylights out of him sometimes, but loved him just as much as he did her.

Birdy began to tell them a story, one that began more than 20 years ago. She told them of their parents before they had become pawns in a war of the light and dark sides of magic. Birdy knew all of their mothers and most of their fathers and regaled them with cute anecdotes for a while. She began to tell them of her last year at Hogwarts when Voldemort made his rise for power and the Order of the Phoenix was re-established to combat him, and she amongst a number of others joined what was thought to be the elite of the wizarding world to fight such a dangerous wizard and his followers.

She began to tell them what happened to her after she had left Hogwarts with her friends, Frank and Alice Longbottom, Lily and James Potter, Sirius Black and herself were all qualified witches and wizards after graduating from school they began auror training, since she was a bit more advanced than the others, she was selected to become an unspeakable and she excelled in that training when they had begun to fight wizarding battles in remote parts of the British Isles, Ireland and sometimes on the continent of Europe itself.

She told them of the closeness of herself and Narcissa and Alice and Lily in their final year and Birdy was the maid of honor at Narcissa and Lucius' wedding. This surprised Draco who had always assumed that his Aunt Bellatrix was her maid of honor. Birdy continued her story revealing that since she had stood for Narcissa and not her sister, Bellatrix went straight to Voldemort and began her climb up the ladder into his inner circle.

Bella pushed Lucius finally over the line and poisoned his mind leaving it open to the rantings of that shit for brains.

"Lily and James and Alice and Frank all got married right away out of school, Sirius and I had decided that we would rather wait until we finished with our training before we would even start to look to settle down and start a family.."

The Thunderbirds were very comfortable now listening to this grand story.

"That was back in the late seventies. Muggles were getting a bit too close to the wizarding world and Voldemort began to kidnap and torture them and then leave them about when they were found too close to somewhere they shouldn't have been walking. The year before you four were born, four of us couples met for a night of good talk since it was Samhain and all.

Sirius and Lucius and James and Frank all decided that it would be a good idea if they tried a muggle whiskey recipe from Tennessee, called white lightening. Sirius was pretty good at making potent potions and he thought he could somehow speed up the distilling time and he did a good job too that was when the trouble started. The four of them started drinking that Tennessee Tranquilizer and they got all chummy and pretty much forgot that they had been drinking it.

They were all singing stupid songs and the four of us women heard them start to laugh. Lucius had stripped down stark naked and had conjured more roses than he could carry in two hands and in his mouth that left him with one thing to carry them with and it wasn't his feet. He had a dozen roses in each hand, one in his mouth and two criss crossed across his...uh..peter. The three of us that weren't married to him got up and left the room seeking out the drunken laughter in the kitchen turned distillery.

Frank and James were kind of sobering up pretty fast when Lily and Alice got to their sides and decided that they'd had enough and they apparated them both home. Narcissa and Lucius were in the other room and Lucius must have made the best excuse ever because there you are Draco. That left me with a very drunk but very active Sirius Black. We had been dating off and on, mostly on and I took him home to that creepy place he called home..."

Severus had found the group after he asked one of the little people in the palace direct him to his hostess and the other English witches and wizards. He stopped at the entrance to the hogan and listened for a moment.

"...His mother had just died and that left him a fortune and he was a bachelor and wild and he just loved to torment that picture of his mother in the drawing room. He absolutely hated that creepy house elf of his mothers Kreeper or something like that. What ever it was the name fit. The little pendejo was crazy mad because Sirius wouldn't chop off his head and hang it with those other house elves heads his family kept in the library. Little nut job cast a love spell on us and well, here you are Adam. I suppose that Frank and James had their way as well because lo and behold, Harry and Neville, you're here as well.

I know for a fact that it was that night that you were all conceived because the six of us were apart for a month afterwards. Narcissa gave up her position in the auror's at Lucius' insistance, she had been spelled to not divulge information since she was leaving service voluntarily as a security measure. James and Sirius had suspected Lucius for a long time for nefarious activities and they always seemed to miss him when they caught and defeated Voldemort and his lackeys, Voldemort seemed to always be able to disapparate from behind his minions but he was losing them pretty quickly.

Well this went on for quite a while, and since my father died after I returned here, I took his place as guardian of the Navajo's, keeper of the magic, all that kind of stuff, like at Hogwarts only about a hundred thousand times bigger. I was pregnant with Adam when I left England on that awful slow muggle jetliner the concorde they called it. Shortly after I left, James and Alice and Lily and Sirius and Frank and that little rat bastard Peter fought in several battles. After you two were born, Neville, Harry, your families went into hiding because Voldemort had found out about the prophecy. Voldemort knew about Sirius being the father of you and so did Sirius when Voldemort decided to come after you babies and kill you all except Draco of course who was the child of his by then number one lackey and you were fully expected to become a death eater like your father."

Severus decided not to enter the hogan and just sat in the corridor on a big pillow and listened to his old friend tell a tale. One that he indeed knew very well.

"Alice and Frank were some of the best spell casters I ever saw Neville, and they were brave too. Draco's aunt did, well, you know what happened to them, but they protected you by not telling him where you were. That little fu.. ah Peter gave up Lily and James and Harry, I saw that Harry, I'm so sorry, but that seemed to end it for me, I thought that Sirius had given up James and Lily and he was sent to Azkaban and I put him out of my mind and my life forever until just recently when I found out that he was innocent after that thing just this late spring.

That tore it for me. When I read about it in the international prophet, I contacted your mama Draco and well, I suppose so far the rest you know. What you don't know is just what you are capable of as Thunderbirds and over the next three weeks, I'm going to show you some amazing magic. Adam, you didn't show your grampa's book to anyone did you?"

"Yes mama, Mr. Dumbledore got me to open it, but I only showed him one spell."

"That old man can read faster than any man alive. I bet he read more than one spell if he held it in his hands."

"Uh, he did but not for long."

"that was long enough. Well, I might as well tell you the whole thing about Thunderbirds first. Grampa's book is one of the most advanced spell books in existance. Those stories Adam, are actually incantations that require thirteen people to perform. What you guys did with Luna was spectacular. How ever did you figure out what to do?"

"Well she acted kind of funny one day and Hermione put her hand on her forehead and she had a clear vision. She gets them all the time now, they used to wipe her out, but since we've been helping her channel, it doesn't seem to effect her so badly. Tonight was different though, this one really snuck up on her" Blaise said to Birdy looking worriedly at Luna.

"We'll have to work on that so she can project and not need the touch. Quite clever of you all to figure that one out. Anything else? Where did you get that Dreamcatcher Harry?"

"Adam and the others made it for me. I was having visions my self through my scar."

"He was bloody being tortured by that madman, everytime he tortured someone else, Harry felt it every time come to find out for the last five bloody years!" Draco said feeling a bit like defending his husband at the moment.

"He was using El Crucio on him mama."

"He wasn't. That dirty rotton son of a B. Give me that thing Harry, I won't let anything happen to you or let you be harmed, but we're going to give Voldemort a taste of his own medicine, and since it's Navajo style, I say fight fire with fire. Now, which ones of you are fire mages?"

Eight hands shot into the air including Adam's.

"Earth mages?"

Ten hands this time rose.

"Wind mages?"

Eight hands again were raised.

"Water mages?"

Again eight hands rose into the air.

"Alright then. Since Voldemort's day has been ruined already, I'm sure he's furious and if what you've said is true, Harry should be feeling something soon now that I have this dreamcatcher. When Harry starts to show signs he's getting something, I'll cast a pain shield on him and he can still see what is going on and then I'll touch him. Adam, I know you can do this but somehow, we're all going to channel El Crucio back through Harry's connection to that old fool through me and I'm going to stand him on his head.

You fire mages think the hottest thing you can think of and aim it at me and I'll smoke his robes, earth mages, you think earthquake and do the same and then the wind mages and the water mages think together, "frijo" say 'free yo' and that should put out his fire and freeze his ass while he's screaming from El Crucio. He'll know it's from me. Since I declared war on him and Albus did as well on behalf of our respective governments, the Brit's were obligated to go along as well or forfeit their holdings given them in the 1815 treaty. Well it seems that Fudge did as Albus expected and refused to honor a mutual defense treaty, the wizengamot removed him and we both nominated Narcissa as interim war minister of magic for Britain.
I know for a fact that she was not in anyway harmed Draco so don't worry about what you saw in that vision."

"How is it that you know such a thing Birdy." Draco asked snuggling into his husbands warm chest, getting comfortable very interested in the story he was hearing. Much more interesting than that old ghost Professor Binns and this was useful historical information.

"A little bird told me. Besides I read the book already." Birdy said, pulling a bird charm out of her hair just like the one his mother had. It's eyes were still a radiant blue.

"Bugger."

"You can say that again young man."

"Bugger." Draco repeated for Birdy, the others chuckled a bit

No one really saying much of anything. Fred and George had twin language to occupy their hands and Ginny tried as best she could to understand it, but never quite got the hang of it. Greg and Vince sat content to just be next to each other, holding hands wasn't big with them.

Blaise and Luna and Neville and Ginny were sitting closely like Harry and Draco were, Ron had Hermione sitting in his lap her head on his shoulder. Adam was sitting at his mothers feet when she saw fit to stop pacing back and forth telling her story. Just then, Harry grabbed for his scar, the protection of the dreamcatcher abated. Birdy waved her hand and touched the man that was scared that he would be bleeding and writhing on the ground in front of her.

He wasn't hurting and he wasn't bleeding. Birdy closed his eyelids for him and held her hand on his head. She told Draco to get up and go to Adam he needed to start to use his magic. Adam was going to cast El Crucio and he needed the help of the others to do it. They were going to make this war a biiiiiit more personal.

"Are you sure mama?" Adam asked his mother who just nodded and with her eyes demanded that Adam obey her command. He held his staff in front of him and the Thunderbirds that flanked him touched shoulders as they touched Adam and he cast the Navajo version of the Cruciatus curse at his mother.

Harry was still feeling no pain and Birdy just shut her eyes and absorbed the curse that was accelerated in power by the teens, but she shunted the curse through Harry's scar and onto Voldemort. She took her hand off of Harry and cast a short spell to stop what ever pain he was in, on him and put his 'dreamcatcher' back on him.

"Did you get the spell for that dreamcatcher out of Grampa's book?" Birdy asked her son.

"Yes I did mama, why? It says it stops El Crucio from dreams"

"It does that and more. That medallion feels like it weighs about the same as a dubloon. Did you spin a whole dubloon?"

"Uh, yeah, you gonna tell me we made some kind of weapon or something?"

"Uh, yeah, young man, that's exactly what I'm going to tell you. Right now, it's working as a dream catcher, but that's what made it possible for me to ram El Crucio down that shit's throat. You guys made a hum dinger. You do realize that any magical thing that any of you make together is going to be priceless amongst wizards. I own several pieces of Thunderbird Magicware from hundreds of years ago. They still work too. You'll need to mine the gold for your new rings or go panning for it the muggle way. It will be a fun outing. I'll supply the stones, you'll supply the magic. Draco, I know that one baby for a man would drive most men crazy. I do not envy you the task of six children to raise at one time."

"I've seen more than one pregnancy Birdy, ask blabber mind over there if you don't believe me." Draco said pointing to Luna who was hiding her face in Blaise's chest at the moment.

Everyone laughed a good natured laugh at the expense of one of the two seers. The realization that they had just disclosed a vision about their future didn't seem to matter to them. These people were their family now. Their magic was intermingling constantly. What one felt the others felt to some degree.

Birdy was quite keen on observing people and what she saw among the thirteen youngsters was something she considered quite remarkable. Six sets of couples that seemed perfect for each other, they all had a purple aura about them which was a sign that the Thunderbird incantation was indeed cast properly and these very very young people could potentially become very very old.

"Did you all think the elemental thoughts when Adam cast El Crucio like I told you to do?" eleven nods were seen by Birdy. Adam had been relieved that he didn't hurt his mother and even more relieved that it was the charm that they had made for Harry that stopped it from hurting her.

"I stopped the spell before it had a chance to rebound from Voldemort. That's when I gave Harry back the dreamcatcher. Adam, until your spell stops somewhere, it will continue going and growing in power, the elementals you used will wear down his occlumency defenses and when that happens, he'll shit his pants."

"I think when he made scarhead here, he rather did a good job of that Birdy." Draco said of his husband who was looking down at him grinning.

"Albus it seems, has conveniently left out a few details about my Lily's baby boy. Adam did you buy those brooms like I told you to?"

"Yes mama and the guy was an asshole so I made him let the kid sweeping the floor sell em to me and get the commission on the sale too."

"Good way to handle that son. Very good. What was the name of the store? That guy is history in the broom business. We make most of the worlds racing brooms here in the nation for various broom companies. Our most popular are the nimbus and the firebolts. Are you all good fliers?" Birdy inquired of the rapidly de-energizing teens.

"Hermione and Neville aren't the best at flying brooms but as bloody birds they're almost as fierce as Ginny." Ron said of his friends and complimenting his sister who blew a kiss at him for saying so. Oddly he felt the kiss and rubbed his face. Draco was sniggering because it was Harry who made Ron feel the kiss on his cheek but he sure looked at his little baby sister in a different light from that point on.

"Well thats going to change. If you were good before, you're going to be better, if you weren't so good before, you're going to be great so don't worry. If you can fly as a Thunderbird a stick should be no problem. Only the sticks that you'll be learning to fly are Thundercloud Lightening Bolts, they're battle brooms. You'll also learn how to drop change for emergency escapes."

"or clandestine outings.." Neville said meekly out loud.

"Or clandestine outings. Yes, I suppose that's true Neville. Is that what happened to Petunia and the walrus?"

"Yes ma'am, but only because they hurt Harry." Neville offered as an explaination. It seemed to work for the moment because she changed her direction of questions and changed it to some fun things that they'd learn to do.

"Do you all know how to apparate?"

"Yes mama, they got it in about five minutes. We took turns right in front of the Gr'ups, they never noticed."

"Albus Dumbledore noticed. Boy are you guys dumbasses. Lesson number one. Don't do anything for a first time in front of Albus Dumbledore. He'll use it as as a weapon if he has to. Thunderbirds, you are hereby granted total immunity in the commission of your duties as warriors. That means you can kill anyone you want or need to in order to get your jobs done, not just in defending yourselves, but in attacking your enemies as well.

Innocent people are going to die in this war kids. What I'm going to lay on you is going to make your heads spin. I am going to use a time turner to help you learn in one month what it is going to take you to grasp in six. The time will go faster than you think it will but, you all have individual talents. I'm sorry to tell you that your adolescence is over and you're all adults now. Did you all take your NEWTS?"

"Yes Birdy, it was amazing." Hermione said very excitedly.

"How'd you all do?"

"We all got more than the maximum, we doubled in many subjects" Draco said, then added, "Hermione got the most of all of us."

"That's good then. By the time you leave here, you'll all be master unspeakables." Birdy said laying the biggest news of all on the troupe.
Hermione raised an eyebrow ala Draco and turned her head slowly at the small witch. "Unspeakables?"

"Yes, and that is the last time we'll ever mention it. By the time we're through training, you'll know why and you'll never think of why you asked in the first place. Do I make myself quite clear?" Birdy said looking at all of the Thunderbirds including her son.

"Crystal" Draco said. He knew Harry wanted to become an auror, but an unspeakable was well, unspeakable.

"Have you ever heard the phrase 'If I tell you I'll have to kill you'?" Birdy had asked of everyone getting no positive responses she went on.

"An unspeakable is a hitwizard that works for the government, neutralizing threats of national emergency, finding and taking into custody if possible the most criminal type wizards, not at all unlike Voldemort." Birdy said to the thirteen young people that were suddenly not as tired as they were ten seconds ago.

"You mean we're going to learn to kill." Blaise said to no one in particular.

"No, you've already showed the Order of the Phoenix that you're quite capable of that. I'm going to show you how to do it efficently, and silently. I'm going to teach you surprise, I'm going to teach you how to make war kids. I'm going to make sure you can take the mayhem that is a wizarding battle and come out on top. You kids want to see something cool?" Birdy said to the teens, thinking of starting their training right this minute. She saw thirteen nods and heard some bloody hell's to go with them.

"Alright now, lets go outside the hogan and we'll line up on the rail. We're transforming into Thunderbirds on a drop change. Follow me into the sky. We can all communicate telepathically when we're airborn." Birdy said to the teens that were only in their pajamas as she led them to the edge of the building that they were on and jumped off as a human and took to the sky as a great red Thunderbird almost the size of Pipsqueak.

They noticed a sleeping Severus on their way out.

Birdy was a gigantic Thunderbird, at least twice the size of the others and they were great in size as well. One after the other, the thirteen teens jumped into the darkness only to become aloft in a quick swoop of their arms as they gathered the magic from the earth to become Thunderbirds.

'Ok kids, follow me, we're going for a little flight. We're going to make a formation from us all being in disorder. You all get a number until you remember who goes before and after who. I'll call off your name when I start to make my dives, you follow the last name I call when I call you and so on. Remember who I call after you so you can look out for them to make sure they're where you want them to be. It's really very simple. After we get together and gather some speed, we'll shoot through window rock and into the sky. I think it will be just what you all need so you can get some sleep. I have never seen so many talkative kids in one place.'

'Mama, you've done all of the talking'

'Well, this has got me so all worked up. Ok kids I'll call you off after me, Adam, Harry, Draco, Hermione, Ron, Neville, Ginny you six follow and start to circle I'm getting the others' Birdy thought and they all heard the ones below waiting for their names. The giant red bird sailed through the hovering birds, Blaise, Fred, George, Vince, Greg, Luna come on kids follow me.'

The Thunderbirds followed their 'leader' and they began to fly in a circle horizontal to the others that were flying perpendicular to them, they were flying in two connected circles.'Now begin to close ranks, get closer kids, it will be ok, it just looks scary.'

The Thunderbirds were now flying in a round about figure of eight and they were closing in tightly and flying very closely. Ginny and Neville were flying extremely closely when small bolts of lightening started to bounce between their wingtips, thunder echoed in the valley below where they were flying.

'Ok kids get in close like Ginny and Neville, they've got it, when you're all that close and the lightening starts to fly, fly straight ahead into the direction you're facing. do not follow each other. on three two one. go!' The thirteen Thunderbirds had indeed flown close enough to each other to make lightening but when they flew off in thirteen different directions at one time, they pulled the lightening apart creating a shower of magical sparks over the desert below.

'Now that kids is what I call flying. Voldemort is in for his end. Lets land and get to bed. All that flying makes me sleepy before bed.'

The fourteen magical birds landed one after the other, coupled up and went to bed.

Adam went with his mother to spend a few more hours talking about his responsibilities to his friends, to his government, the light side, the mother talk essentially, but it was good to talk to her. It was his mama and he fell asleep in her arms while she stroked his long hair telling him a story. Or was it a story?
