Disclaimer : All characters belongs to J. K. Rowlings, minus Dr slump, whose name belongs to Akira Toriyama. All were kidnapped in the dawn, and are not used to make money. They will be returned when I'm done.

See, don't own so don't sue, unless you're interested in my teddy bears collection...

Besides this work will contain : mpreg and people out of character since I am definitely not JK Rowlings, and some strange sentences since I'm French. Still here?

So, on with the show...

Chapter 13 – Does anybody knows any reason to oppose this union?

"Professor Snape?"

Both Severus and James' heads shot up towards Draco who was trying to say something. Seeing he could not organize his thoughts enough "How...Who...I mean..." 'grrr! I sound like a Gryffondor!' he resulted to pointing to James and Severus in turn.

"That's good! One of the ever composed Malefoy reduced to caveman speech!" James was laughing so hard he would have fallen from his seat had Severus not put his arm around him.

"Hush, you!"he admonisted James. Turning towards Draco, he arched an eyebrow. "Yes, Mister Malefoy? There was something you wanted to say?"

Draco breathed deeply. "Who is he?"

"Who, me?" James pointed to himself. "Well, that's a good enough question, who am I, Sev?"

Severus playfully bopped him on the head. "You know, memory is the first to go when you're growing older..."

James pouted and Severus chastily kissed him better.

Turning towards Draco, he said. "Draco Malefoy, meet my lover, James Potter." James wiggled his fingers at a, once again, shocked Draco.

Severus sighed and hugged James. "Could you please snap out of it, mister Malefoy?"

Draco snapped to attention. "It was all a set up! There's no Hufflepuff, is there?" he asked with uncertainty.

"You're right, we're doing it for Sirius Black. He has no will to be married to your father, and..."

Draco interrupted him "But, he's a murderer, he betrayed..." his eyes widened and fixed on James. "Oh! He's innocent? " he asked in a nearly whisper.

Severus looked smug. "Told you he was quick!" James nodded. "Will you help us find a way out of it?" Draco nodded. "Well, come in, boys. They went to get all the books on magical contracts there were in the library."

Blaise and Harry entered the room, two dozens of books floating behind them.

Draco was so focussed on his task he forgot to be surprised at Harry's sight, and the obvious trust both adults had in Blaise.

And then began the longest study group to be recorded in Hogwarts, a history. During three days, the five of them stayed holed up in Severus' office. It was a good thing Severus had asked for permission from Dumbledore to 'borrow' his students for the week end...

Meanwhile, at Malefoy Manor, Lucius was, not panicking, a Malefoy would never stoop so low, no, he was annoyed. For the first time since he had been brought here, Sirius had not attended breakfast with him. He had not even catch tail of the werewolf.

He sent a House elf to his rooms, but the creature came back, saying "Mister Sirius is not in his bed, Master..."

It was enough to sent Lucius climbing the stairs towards Sirius' rooms, ignoring the elf who was runnning after him and tuning it out.

He threw open the door and stopped in his tracks. In the corner of the room was a lot of blankets, big, fluffy and warm blankets forming a comfortable nest. The corner of a pillow poked outside, and a Sirius' shaped form could be seen under one of the blankets. He was curled on his side and seemed to be slightly shaking. Moony was sat near him, one of his paws on his shoulders. He was whining slightly.

Lucius crossed the room and kneeled near Moony. He lifted the blanket to reveal Sirius, curled around Draco's old teddy bear.

He gently shook his shoulder and sat back on his heels when Sirius sprang up, just sitting there stiffly with his eyes wide open. His posture relaxed as soon as he saw the teddy bear. "only a nightmare, and I'm awake now" he muttered, turning to hug Moony tightly, his eyes scrunched closed. Lucius stood up, went outside and closed the door.

He summoned the same House elf he had sent to check on Sirius, and proceeded to ask it a few questions.

"Does he often have nightmares?"

"Some times."

"And when he does?"

"He can't sleep in the bed, said they got worse. We no help so Master Sirius asked for blankets. Lots of. In nightmare place, he no have blankets."

Lucius prompted the quivering creature. "The teddy bear?"

"Master Sirius said he needed an 'anchor', something to see it's ok. He's awake, not back in nightmare."

"Something he was sure he wouldn't have had in Azkaban."

The elf nodded and looked uncomfortable.

"There's something more. Speak!" he frowned and the House elf cowered.

"It's a secret!" it wailed.

Lucius glared. "And I, as your Master, order you to tell me. So I can help him."

The elf whispered. "When I is giving him the teddy bear, Master Sirius said he never touch one before. Never!"

The elf grabbed his ears and tugged sharply. "I was a bad elf, telling Master Sirius' secrets!" It ran to the kitchen to punish itself. Lucius stood here, his face blank.

After a few more minutes, he squarred his shoulders, turned to the door and knocked loudly before opening said door.

Sirius yelped and grabbed a blanket to cover his undressed state.

Lucius took hold of one of his wrists to stop his fidgetting. He purposefully raked his eyes on Sirius' exposed chest.

"Well, seems you woke up late... But don't hurry to get dressed on my account. I quite like the view.Oh, and the elf seamstress will be here shortly to make the last adjustments to your wedding robe."

He spunned on his heels with a last sweep of Sirius' body.

Meanwhile, in Severus' office. After three days of nearly uninterrupted work, save for food or rest, the five of them were experts on magical contracts, but nowhere near a solution.

James was currently napping, curled up on a couch. Severus was leafing through a few books unenthousiastically. Blaise and Harry were in a corner, destressing with a quick game of chase the tail while Draco was slightly snoring over a few sheets of parchment. Everybody, minus James who was happily sleeping, jumped when Draco voiced a question.

"Blaise? Am I still sleeping or do you have a tail?"

"You are still sleeping."

"Oh, Ok then."

A few minutes of silence. And then, Draco jumped on his feet and stalked towards Blaise and Harry. Both blinked innocently at him.

"Why are you even here, Blaise?"

"Took you long enough, Draco."

Draco, annoyed by the tail waving in front of his face grabbed it to still it.

"But, Malefoy, I don't know you enough to let you hold my tail..."Harry grinned, batting his eyelashes at Draco.

Draco let go of Harry's tail as if it burned him. Blaise and Harry burst into laughter, startling James awake and down from the couch.

"Meow!" he exclaimed.

Severus nearly apparated at his side. He helped him to sit down on the couch, quickly checking him for any sign of discomfort. And then he ran into the next room.

Blaise and Harry rushed to his side. "Dad! Are you alright?"

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault!" Harry interjected.

James shook his head. "Naaa, accidents happen. But where did Sev go?"

Draco was frozen in the middle of the room, looking alternatively between James and Blaise, with an occasional glance towards Harry. James nudged his two sons and the three of them laughed at Draco's expression. As soon as he had his breath back, James exclaimed "But where did Sev go?"

"He went to fetch me, Mister Potter. Now, take off your shirt and lie down on the couch. Mister Snape, could you transfigure a curtain, please?" Madam Pomfrey said in one breath.

James' eyes widened. "Boys?" he asked Blaise and Harry "you love me, right?" They both nodded. He threw his arms around Blaise who was the nearest and hugged him tightly. "So, save your dear father from the chief torturer and his minion!"

"James, you could have hurt the baby, so let Madam Pomfrey see if everything is alright. Just to reassure me, all right?"

James sighed and did as he was told, but sticked his tongue out behind Severus' back. Once the mediwitch left after making sure that everything was alright, two owls entered.

One went straight to Draco, the other to Severus. Both were Malefoy owls.
