BROTHERS AGAIN

Harry remained hidden as he tried to ignore the sounds of Albus being forced out of the headmaster's quarters, the struggles and grunts from a man he had once cared for, did truly disturb him.

"I'm sorry Mr. Riddle" A voice surprised him causing him to jump around to find Professor McGonagall standing there, her face was solemn as tears filled her eyes, he could tell she had been already crying, as old tears stained her cheeks, leaving them swollen along with her eyes, "I knew Albus was different, that he had views that were for a selected few, I never knew it would go as far targeting your family" she said.

"How did you know I was Hadrian?" he asked after a few minutes, he was leaning against the wall his hand on his chest, a lot had happened, he had discovered he was stronger than most, more powerful but it was overwhelming.

"Well, isn't it obvious, Albus plan was to cause the most pain, the most grief to Tom, what better way than to use his sons in two completely different ways. Severus he had him as a follower, if he had displeased him in any way; which he did, Severus was in the infirmary more times than I could count" she whispered a tear escaping at Harry grimace she smiled, "You love them already?" she asked.

"I never really stopped, I had just forgotten, Severus was my brother, he watched me and protected me like no one else. My father, I know he loves me. This shouldn't have happened," he said.

"No Harry it shouldn't have, I should have told Severus to not take the job, to follow his instinct. I failed all three of you" she said before she continued something caught her eye that caused her face to turn, Harry hidden behind the column chose to remain silent, "Lucius" she breathlessly, Harry tensed despite not wanting to at the name, "I'm sure you're here for Severus" she asked.

"I didn't find him at his home, he wasn't answering his Floo in his chambers, I grew concerned. I don't want him to do something he would regret" he said, Harry listened at the mans voice and sighed, everyone was truly affected; before she answered, Harry left his hiding space turning to him.

"I'll take you to my brother" he said, glancing at the mans icy gray eyes, something in him click as he felt his eyes dilate, shaking his head he glanced down but didn't miss the soft gasp that had escaped Lucius lips, "Thank you Professor for your condolences, but I'm sure you are needed in the Headmaster's office, after all, what better replacement than you" he said, she blinked surprise a hint of red reaching her cheeks, "Come Mr. Malfoy," he said glancing at the handsome man.

Handsome? Since when did Harry ever think of Lucius Malfoy, Draco Malfoy's father as handsome? Shaking away the heat that was emitting from the man beside him, he continued to walk. He couldn't quite tell why his body was reacting the way it did, as he walked beside Malfoy, as if electricity was barely touching his skin, causing his hair to rise and his heart to thud loudly in his chest. He found some comfort to see that Lucius was just as uncomfortable as he was, his hands in fist by his side, he didn't know if Lucius was angry at him or at something else but seeing the emotion roll of him, eased his discomfort.

"I see you received your memories as well," the blond male drawled.

Harry only gave him a short nod before adding, "I believe I was the one that initialed the return of the memories, I came into my creature inheritance which unblocked anything repressed within me. I'm not sure how everyone else received there's but I'm assuming that getting mines triggered a clause that Albus must have overlooked." He explained.

Silence was heard afterwards, just the whispers of some paintings as they passed by and the clunk of boots as they hit the pavement underneath them. Harry couldn't help but stare at the man beside him. He had to admit, Lucius had an aura that screamed wealth, his robes lined with what looked to be pure silver as the silk resembled the slightest of blue, he didn't have his cane with him, something Harry appreciated.

Lucius face lacked the arrogance it once held, now he noticed were lines of age, and worry, as he continued to look, he gazed right into Lucius grey eyes, feeling blood rush into his face at being caught starring he dropped his face down and continued to look forward; he didn't miss the slightest smirk Lucius had made.

"They say that you are my Godfather" Harry whispered, beside him Lucius halted in his spot causing Harry to turn and gaze at him concerned, "Mr. Malfoy?" he asked.

Godfather! His mate happened to be his godson, of all the bloody people that the universe had to pick they decided that it would be Hadrian Riddle, the son of Thomas Riddle, Minister of the Ministry of Magic, the brother of his best mate, closing his eyes he tried to control the panic that rose. Severus was going to kill him; matter of fact, Tom was going to murder him. Hearing his name being called he glanced at the young man who once looked at him with pure hatred was now gazing at him with worry.

"Are you alright Mr. Malfoy?" he asked.

Sighing he nodded, "Of course, and yes, I am your Godfather, that's what Severus wanted" he said, then sighed, "but I understand that it will take some time for you to see me as anything but the man you saw during your second year" he said, his heart contrasted at the knowledge, the boy in front of him was meant to be his husband, his lover, the future carrier of their kids, his mate would never love him, like he would him. "I also know that you view Sirius and Remus as your godfather, and I don't want to take anyone's place," he said softly.

Harry nodded, "Its a lot to take in" he said, as they began to walk again, "Last night I went to bed just thinking of this school year and in less than 24 hours, I'm a Veela, I have a father, who used to be the subject of my torment, I have a brother, and Albus Dumbledore will become a muggle in less than a day" he said.

"W-What?" Lucius sputtered, blinking as he composed himself.

Harry snickered glancing at him sideways, "I may not have too much recollection of my family, but I did see clearly the monster Albus was, I wasn't going to let that man get away with what he did to my family, to the Wizarding World. His punishment, is to become what he detested most, muggles." He said Lucius just looked at his mate with awe and admiration.

"Impressive" he said.

Harry swallowed, hearing Lucius approval sent a sense of satisfaction through him, "Yes well, it's the least I could have done" he said, then stopped in front of a painting he knew belonged to the Slytherins, taking a deep breath he felt his hands begin to shake, "I thought confronting Albus was going to be difficult, now I see that was the easy part" he said.

Lucius sighed and placed a hand on his shoulder, "I know your brother Harry, we've been friends since birth. All he needs is for you to forgive him, that's what everyone wants," he said.

Harry looked at him, "Is that what you want Mr. Malfoy?" he asked.

Lucius glanced at the boy and sighed muttering the default password to the painting the pushed the boy in without a word, once the boy was out of hearing he sighed, "More than you know Harry" he said softly as he closed the painting behind him, he could hear talking and as he continued to walk through the halls to the lounge the Slytherins shared he saw Harry had halted in his steps, moving behind him he took a look at what had stopped the boy. Severus was seated on a sofa, his face in his hand as Remus and Sirius attempted to console him. With a deep breath he raised a finger to his lips telling Harry to remain silent and pushed him into a darker area of the hall.

Then he voiced his arrival, "Remus, Sirius, can I have a few words with Severus please" he said walking in, Severus had looked up at Lucius voice and the blond mans heart broke at the agonized gaze he had given them.

"If you believe you could talk some sense to our husband" Sirius said exasperated, "Be our guest, he hasn't left this positions since we left Hadrian in the office with the Minister and Albus" he said, then worry colored his tone, "Oh, god I hope Harry's well" he whispered.

Harry was still trying to get over the initial shock that Remus and Sirius were both his brothers' husbands; that was the missing puzzle piece! Obviously, his brother hadn't grown up at odds with James and the marauders but he still hadn't placed where they worked, where they fit. Now he did and he was glad he still had them in his life, he needed them for a sense of normality, he didn't know how his friends were going to take all of this and if Hermione and the Weasleys abandoned him, he knew he still had Remus and Sirius. Shaking his head he listened into the group, trying to figure out why he would listen to Lucius voice more than the others.

Lucius sighed, and glanced over to Remus and Sirius, "If you wouldn't mind, can I have some privacy with him" he said, at their hesitation he sighed, "I know you three haven't been together, and in the light of the situation I would never place you in this predicament, but I very much would like to speak to my brother privately" he said.

Remus and Sirius nodded, glanced at their husband who hadn't moved from his position and walked through the painting that connected them to their private chambers, chambers that haven't been open in years. After they had disappeared, Lucius looked back at his brother and sighed.

"Severus, you need to snap yourself out of this" he said his voice firm, he wanted to be consoling but he also knew Severus needed someone who would tell him the truth, "Now I can't possibly imagine what you are feeling, or what is going through your head, but this, this isn't going to solve anything" he said frustrated.

Severus chuckled, it was a heartless chuckle, "What am I supposed to feel Lucius?" he asked looking up the heartbreaking agony in his brothers eyes made him sink onto the chair behind him, "In less then 20 minutes, my entire life was flipped upside down! Because of a fucking mistake I did 10 years ago, I accepted the bloody position Lucius, the bloody teaching position my father was hesitant on, the same bloody position I even felt uneasy about, and my excuse, my bloody excuse was that Albus and my father had a petty grudge against each other" he snarled.

Lucius narrowed his eyes as he leaned forward, "You think this is your fault?" he asked darkly, Harry covered mouth with his hand as he let out a soft sob, his brother honestly felt he was responsible for whatever Albus had concocted.

Severus threw his arms up, lifting himself off the couch as he began to pace, "Do I have to list you the evidence Lucius, because it's a hefty list." He snapped, his eyes darkening as he looked towards Lucius, "Albus doesn't play fair, he knew exactly what he was doing and before he obliviated me he told me every last detail. Lucius everything began with my position, Albus knew that, he knew I was a biased, that I would accept the position for two reasons, it was close to home, and the relationship Albus and my father had I believed it would pass. Yes, he caused my father great pain but it was political it never reached any violence not that father never wanted to strangle the man but that was it, words." He said angrily.

Harry swallowed his eyes filling with tears; he had so emotions in his head, anger, remorse, guilt, and sadness. Lucius went to protest but Severus continued raising a hand.

"He used my vulnerability, he knew I would have a Floo connected to the house, despite my independence; I needed to have a connection to my family. Our chambers in Hogwarts are restricted to my password, no one is allowed in unless they know it, the only exception to that rule is the headmaster, and the headmaster is allowed everywhere, with or without permission. So Lucius; this job that was so elegantly placed in the palm of my hand, was the opening Albus needed to attack our family. Now what else could he use me for?" he asked, it was rhetorical not giving Lucius a chance to even answer as he continued, "There is no doubt, that I know my way around a cauldron, and since a young age; I've made the position for our house, with the help of a house elf that was under Imperius it was able to get the veils I had completed and place what ever concoction Albus created" Severus closed his eyes, "Do you understand Lucius, my own impertinence caused my father his life, if I had just listen, if I had accepted the jobs from the other Academy's this wouldn't have happened, I am the cause-"

"Enough!" Lucius whose mouth was open snapped with an audible click, he was about to speak that world but turning he saw who had beat him to the exclamation, Harry stood his hands shaking on his side, "You are not the fault for this, how could you..." Harry stopped and Lucius realized he was quite emotional tears in the boys young face, his Veela instincts told him to console his mate and growl over to the person causing the pain.

Severus on the other hand, had remain quiet a look of shock that was quickly dissolving into pain, sighing, he hadn't expected Harry would become upset as he spoke to Severus, wanting the boy to remain hidden until he could softly convince his brother that Harry wasn't upset, "Harry" he spoke to the boy, but was stopped.

"Can I speak to my brother?" he said seriously, at Lucius hesitation he sighed, "I'm not going to hurt him, I just need to speak with Professor Snape- "he stopped closing his eyes at the mishap but Lucius saw the grimace, "I need to speak with Severus please" he begged, swallowing, Lucius nodded, hopefully his young mate could talk some sense into him.

"Very well" he said and left into the painting Sirius and Remus had disappeared through, he found Sirius and Remus both seated on the sofa, he could tell it was an intimate moment, as Sirius was seated on the wolfs lap, Remus arms wrapped around Sirius who happened to be shaking, concerned he walked over.

"What's wrong?" he asked confused.

Remus sighed but Lucius saw the flicker of amber in them, "Bloody Albus, having the relationship Sirius and Severus had been causing Sirius bond to ask for punishment. I can't believe he made us hate each other, did he have any idea of what it would do to a bond," he hissed.

Lucius eyes widened, "What do you mean?" he asked, it would be just the frosting on the cake if Severus had to punish his youngest husband.

Remus closed his eyes as his hands tightened around Sirius, "Our bond is complicated, because Severus is a rare version of a veela, if for some reason Sirius and I displease him by disrespect or undermining his authority, we need to be punished, that's all Sirius did for the past few years and now with the bond re-instated. Sirius is feeling the urge to plead for punishment." He said, Remus glanced at him pained, "Severus won't do it, you should have seen him when we were by ourselves" he said, remembering when Severus had snapped out of realizing his brother was Harry Potter.

Severus had grabbed their faces as he fought breaking down; placing kisses over much to their embarrassment. He had mumbled apologies as he held them close.

"Fuck" Lucius hissed, as he glanced at the troubled Sirius, "Is there any other punishment he could administer, as childish as it sounds do you believe Severus could request, he write lines, stand in the corner for a few minutes. Severus isn't going to punish him physically" he said, "Are you feeling the urge as well Remus?" he asked.

Remus shook his head, "No, a tug maybe but I respected him, due to my condition I never saw Severus as anything other than a co-worker who was helping me by creating a potion. We spoke shortly with each other and we didn't stay in each other presence unless it was needed. Sirius at any chance he could would insult or provoke Severus, that's why the pull is so strong for him" he said glancing down sadly.

Lucius sighed, as he glanced over to the portrait.

"You left him alone?" Remus asked, worry slipping into his tone.

Lucius bit the inside of his cheek, shaking his head, "No, he's speaking with his brother" he said, Remus eyes widened.

"Harry! Oh god!" he gasped his eyes now concerned, they knew Harry well enough to know the boy would never intentionally hurt someone, but the strain relationship between brothers could cause unforeseen consequences.

Hadrian watch as Mr. Malfoy disappeared between a painting he didn't recognize, something in his stomach yearned to follow the man and ask why he felt the need to submit, why he felt the need to gain his approval? His thoughts were disturbed when he heard a strangle sob escape from the man he had once seen upon with hatred, his eyes landed on his brother and he felt his heart slowly break as the stern and cynical Potions Master had dissolved to a man who was broken.

He didn't say anything, and he wondered if his knew attitude, the knew why he seemed to hold himself was due to being a complete different person, he watched as Severus opened his mouth several times to start a sentence and close it when he had changed his mind. He watched as tears formed in his onyx eyes, as his hands tremble as they were held tightly in fist, before his shoulders slumped down, his face admitting defeat as he opened his mouth, "I can't begin to apologize for my behavior it was," he was stopped.

"You are in no position to apologize!" Harry snapped as he stepped forward, the anger in his brothers' eyes towards Albus was mistaken towards him, Severus dropped his head in shame, he knew it was a failure attempt to try to apologize for his disgrace method of teaching, for his temperament towards Harry. How could the man Albus made him be have so much anger towards a boy because of his father? Merlin if James were alive. Severus felt moister in his eyes again as a sharp pain went through his heart, his brother was dead, James was dead, if James were there, he would have admonished him for his treatment of Harry even if the boy wasn't his son.

Swallowing he nodded, "Of course, I shouldn't have assumed you would forgive me I- "but he was stopped again.

Harry shook his head, "You misunderstood me Severus, I am no where near mad at you who I am mad about is Albus, and he was dealt with accordingly, you, you have nothing to apologize for, no one under the effect of a memory loss is at fault for this, that only lies on Albus" he said his eyes flashing violet.

Severus suddenly recalled being escorted out of the headmaster's office by his concerned mates, remembered that he had left Harry alone with the Headmaster, "Harry" he stepped forward concerned, "What did you do with Albus?" he asked.

Seeing the worry in his brother eyes, he brushed off his concern, "Everything was legal Severus no worries, the Minister of Magic was with me through it all, he saw everything and approved. I'm sure the Daily Prophet tomorrow will announce Albus Dumbledore sentence, we never have to deal with him again" he said sending his brother a soft smile, at his brother's hesitation he sighed, "Severus, honestly, we're ok. I know its not easy for you to understand and I'm still trying to wrap my head around it but, all of our memories were tempered with I have no resentment towards you, towards no one." he said.

Severus remains in his spot not able to register his brother's words. It couldn't be that easy, Harry couldn't forgive everything he had done? The taunts, the jibes, the all around bed temper he had placed on this boy since he had started Hogwarts couldn't just vanish with that other life. No! He was sure, Harry now says he forgave him, but the resentment would eventually follow. Something he would say, something he would do would cause Harry to remember him as Snape and return hating him. He had no doubt.

Harry could tell his brother was struggling with himself; he shook his head his lips pulling up in a smile as he walked around the room looking at his brother's objects. Severus needed time to absorb everything, it was a lot to take in, he himself had a hard time remaining as calm as he did, he knew he would break down eventually when everything would hit him at once, for now. He understood his brother needed him to be strong and when they both confronted their father, he needed to be strong to pull him back up.

As he looked through the shelves he came upon a horribly sketched drawing of a home, his heart contrasted when he realized it was his home. The house they had lived in before anything had happened. With astonishing detail, he recalled when he had drew that, picking up the now delicate parchment he turned, to find his brother still mentally struggling. Lifting up the painting he showed it to Severus who was now looking at him as if he would disappear. "You remember when I painted this?" he asked, "Well attempted?" he added, Severus only stared at him, Harry frowned, "Getting your memories back is a hell of a ride, the memories you were forced to forget comes back to you with such clarity you remember emotions and feelings and it all seems as it all happened yesterday. This happened a few days before you started your position, you were very excited, despite Dad's lack thereof. Which was understandable, I was young I didn't truly understand most of the conversations you had with Dad but I did understand one thing and that was that Albus was bad" he said.

Harry looked at his brother unexpectedly hoping for something, some reaction but received none. It was going to be harder than he believed, so he continued glancing down at the painting.

"I think it was two days before you left, and I was upset with you because you were going to leave me. I was only 2 and you were going to be gone again for almost the whole year" he said, Harry glared at his brother mockingly, "Which by the way you promised you wouldn't do at graduation" he added, Harry felt relieved when Severus lips twitched fighting a smile, before his face return to his stoic emotion, it was small but it was something "I went to look for you something I always did when we had our fights even if it was just one-sided, you were having an argument with dad, the only things I could grasp from it were, it wasn't safe at Hogwarts, it wouldn't be safe as our house. The mentality of a two-year-old is so interesting I believed if I drew our house, not that it looked anything like it" he said with a roll of his eyes, "Would somehow make Hogwarts safe for you, and I handed it over to you very proudly, you-"

"I took it like it was a life-savor" Severus finally spoke walking towards Harry his hands were shaking but he had gain some control as he took the drawing his hands, his fingers going over some of the folds, "The creases were caused because I left it folded in my robes during classes, when ever I felt homesick I would pull it out of my pocket and fell safe, you accomplished what you were looking for" he said softly, "Harry I-" he began but Harry shook his head.

"Stop, Severus if what ever is going to come out of your mouth has anything to do with apologizing, or trying to find a reason as why you are at fault, then don't say a thing because Severus I will find a way to hex you" he said his eyes slanted.

Severus swallowed, the look in Harry's eyes told him his brother was in no playing mood, sighing he nodded, "Very well, I won't apologize even if I should, you can be quite persistent." He said with a soft smile.

"Yes, well with a brother like yourself I would have to be" he said, as he walked over to the shelf and placed the drawing down again, then took a deep breath, "Are we going to see Dad?" he asked turning to his brother.

Severus stared at him for a few seconds, causing Harry to fear that his brother had returned to his comatose stage but sighed in relief when Severus shoulders slouched down as he shook his head crossing his arms, "That's another battle we would have to fight" he said as he walked over to a seat, "Fair warning, you may have convince me for the time being in letting it go" he began, Harry rolled his eyes, "But Dad wont in any moment in the near future stop apologizing to us" he said.

"I was afraid of that" he said, "Severus can I ask you a question?" he asked.

"Of course," he said, in reality he just wanted to continue to hear Harry talking to him no matter what it was, afraid if the moment Harry went somewhere he would disappear.

Biting his lower lip Harry groaned, "We're Dark Veelas" at Severus nod he continued, "Do we have mates?" he asked.

Severus felt his cheeks redden and sighed, "We do, and if you haven't realized it Remus and Sirius are my mates, for a better term my bonded. We are a rare type of Veela the dominates have generally two mates they are bonded to, they could be the same age or strikingly different but they will remain younger than the dominate." He explained, and then moved forward, "Why do you ask?" his tone had slipped towards a more menacing hint, something Harry had missed.

Ignoring the question, Harry asked another one, "And submissive?" he asked.

Blinking Severus growled inwardly, if he was correct Harry would only ask for one or two reasons, "Its very rare that there would be a male submissive, especially in Dark Veelas but if that were the case, you would feel an instinct connection towards your mate, a pull of sorts, view them in a different light, suddenly see them as appealing when you didn't notice it before" he explained.

Harry swallowed at the confirmation, Mr. Malfoy was his mate; how bloody more complicated could his day get? He could sense his brothers eyes on him and if he had looked up he would have seen Severus onyx eyes flash a violent violet, anger boiling in the older mans veins when he had also came into the conclusion that Harry not only acquired his mate but happened to be submissive. "Who is it?" Severus voice drawled causing Harry's hair to rise up, looking up at his brother he swallowed he remembered that tone, it was the voice Severus had used on him when he was in trouble, the voice that also made him confess to anything.

Putting on his most innocent face possible he smiled towards his brother, "I don't know what you are insinuating, I'm merely curious I did come into my inheritance today" he said with a shrug taking a sit, his brother wasn't fooled.

"Come off its Hadrian, you wouldn't ask unless you felt something." He said his eyes glowing, "Who?" he asked again.

Frowning he scowled at him, "I'm not sure yet" at his brother's growl, he gave him a look, "Please Severus, dominates know for sure who their submissive are correct?" he asked.

Severus glared but nodded, remembering when he had first seen Remus and Sirius after his inheritance.

"Then I will ask him, only because I fear if I tell you. You would forgo any relationship you had with him and terminate him, once I have confirmation, we both would decide when we should tell anyone" He said at Severus glower, he grimaced, "I promise Sev, I'll tell you" he whispered softly.

Severus felt his eyes softened as his heart broke, he hadn't heard those words from his brothers in so long, pushing everything back he reached forward and took Harry's hand skillfully pulling the young man out of his seat and onto his lap, he chuckled when Harry had made a squeak in surprise, "Severus" he gasped.

"Hush" he whispered thickly, placing a kiss on Harry's forehead, "I just need to hold you for a few minutes" he said strongly, Harry sighed but nodded, feeling himself almost break down at his brother's secure arms. The seconds turn into minutes, and they would have turned into hours if Severus didn't feel Harry's shoulders begin to shake. Concerned he looked down to see tears rolling down his brother's face. "Harry" he gasped lifting the boy up so he could see him clearly, "Oh baby what's wrong?" he asked.

Harry closed his eyes tightly trying to maintain himself but the anger, and grief he had felt all day had suddenly came crashing down as he was pulled into his brothers' arms, "I-I can't, tried to b-be strong" he hiccupped his words jumbled with sobs, Severus heart broke when he realized his brothers words. Harry had remained strong, through his inheritance, receiving his memories, confronting Albus and then dealing with his negative attitude as he tried express that he wasn't mad and now, now his brother needed him.

"Shh, baby its ok, you don't have to be strong anymore. I have you," he said pulling Harry close, his brother clung to his robes as waves after waves of sobs shook through his small frame. "I have you, I'm not going anywhere" he hushed.

Its seemed like for ever that Harry was nuzzled into his brothers chest, only coming out when he heard the concerned and somewhat angry voice of the only Lucius Malfoy. Severus looked up at his best mates voice and saw the flicker of rouge in the mans normally grey eyes and realization sunk in. Harry's earlier words repeating in his head 'because I fear you would forgo any relationship you had and terminate him'. Of course, the only person Harry would fear he would massacre would be Lucius, he felt his inside boil with anger, had the fates really wanted to screw with him. Of all the people they could have chosen to be his brothers dominate mate, they had to choose Lucius. The one man no matter Harry's fear he couldn't hate.

"Oh Harry" Remus concerned voice interrupted the otherwise awkward silent moment that went unknown between Lucius and Harry. Harry was too concerned wiping the tears from his eyes and tying to maintain face while Lucius was having a difficult time continuing his displeasure with the man that had caused his mate pain. Closing his eyes, he calmed his veela, his submissive didn't have any idea of what was happening and he quite like living.

"I'm fine Remus" Harry's annoyed voice reached him causing him to reopen his eyes, to see Harry's honorary Uncle checking him as if he were a mother hen, "Honestly Remus" he said moving away.

Remus only glared at him, "I am allowed to check you, we did leave you alone with Albus. Merlins know what he could have done," he said angrily, then he looked over to Severus, "Did you finally talk some sense into your brother?" he asked.

"You mean your husband" Harry teased; Remus eyes widened.

"Harry I…", he began.

The young mans shook his head, "Its alright Rems, I know why you didn't tell me at first. You still weren't sure how I would react to everything. My memories were of 5 years old, you had other memories betters ones. You were afraid I would have reacted negatively towards Severus." He said with a soft smile.

Remus smiled proudly placing a kiss on his forehead, Lucius bit down a growl, "I'm very happy to be proven wrong" he said, then glanced at Severus with fond eyes, Severus only pulled him over taking him into a deep kiss, that had Remus breathless when he came out for air, Harry turned bright red at the intimate display and looked over to Lucius, only to look away as his blush deepened. The older Malfoy had a look of pure hunger and longing in his grey eyes, causing Harry's inside to fill with warmth.

"Where's our youngest husband" Severus said his voice husky, being away from his mates and now having them so suddenly pulled at his veela to claim them once again, if it wasn't for the fact that he needed to find his father he would have taken both Remus and Sirius.

"He's asleep" was Remus reply, it was guarded telling Severus he was keeping something, at his raised eyebrow Remus sighed, "It's not a concern now, and before you say that we are your concern. It could wait, I came gave him a calming draught and a dreamless sleep potion. Once everything is settled with Thomas, we can discuss everything else." He said, then placed a kiss on Severus frown, "Go, I stay behind with Harry, you and Lucius need to go and make sure Thomas doesn't do anything reckless" he said.

Harry turned at the sentence, opening his mouth to protest but Severus lifted a hand, "Harry, our father may not know you are Harry Potter, his anger at the moment is directed towards Albus because I was a follower for Voldemort, once he learns the truth by either coming into realization or I tell him. You shouldn't be in the room," he said sadly.

"Will he lose control?" Harry asked softly.

Severus eyes widened, "Not at you, but that he may destroy the room he's in of course. It's best that you remain away from the Manor until I can calm him down. Harry its not going to be easy to console him, his treatment of us wasn't vocal it was sad to say abusive. Once he learns who Hadrian turned out to be he's going to have to fight two memories, being your father and your tormentor. The latter is going to win, I need to control his emotions enough for him hear you out, enough to understand you aren't upset," he said.

Harry crossed his arms clearly upset of having to remain, but nodding understanding his brothers reasoning.

"You don't have to remain in the castle, you can return to the Weasley's I'm sure they are confused as to why you haven't returned from Gringotts." He suggested, at Harry sudden wide but panicked eyes, "Harry, you don't have to be afraid of the Weasley's rejecting you, they were good friends of ours. Arthur and our father worked together, Dad was the one who originally placed Arthur as head of anything Muggle" he said, but Harry's arms only tightened around himself as he shook his head, his heart broke, "Fine, but you would have to face them as some point" he said, with his wand he placed a quick tempus and noticed the time was a quarter after 4, time did pass quickly. "I'll send a patronus when Remus can take you over" he said placing a kiss on his forehead, hesitating on what to say next he sighed, knowing it probably wouldn't be return, not that his brother didn't but because it was too soon, "I love you" he said softly, what he didn't expect was for Harry to hug him tightly muttering the three words that send hope through Severus body.

He wanted to stay like that but he knew his father was left to his own thoughts far to long, and besides he had a few words to share with Lucius. Even if Harry got upset with him later, his best mate was the mate of his brother and despite loving Lucius as a brother he had some things to say. "I have to go Harry," he said at Harry tighten hands he knew his brother too felt as if he would disappear, "I'll be back soon, I'll even come get you myself ok" he whispered, hesitantly Harry parted and walked over to Remus who placed a secure arm around him, he could hear Lucius soft growl and chose to ignore it with a smirk.

It was hard leaving his brother just as he got him back, walking through the painting he felt as if Albus would just appear and ruin everything again. Closing his eyes he continued to walk only to feel a hand on his shoulder, he turned to find Lucius.

"Are you alright Severus?" he asked.

Severus sighed rubbing his face, "He royally screwed up our lives, I know he isn't in the castle but his presence lingers" he hissed as he glanced around the halls, the paintings seemed to silent and Severus wondered if they were also made to forget or just spelled to be silent either way they stared at the two Slytherins as they walked through the corridors.

"My father is alive" Lucius whispered after some time, he felt Severus halt for a few seconds before muttering under his breath something that went along the lines of 'bloody Albus', "I don't know the entire story, but Albus must have obliviated his memories and made him disappear, he appeared at the Manor, almost gave me a heart attack. Thought I was seeing ghost" he said as they sprinted up the stairs, "Draco and him must be at Black Manor, Narcissa needed help with Bella," he said softly.

"Oh Bella" Severus whispered his voice pained, "How is she?" he asked.

Lucius shrugged, "I don't have the slightest idea, Narcissa sent her patronus saying she was going mental which of course is understandable, the things that woman has done. I hope Cissy at least got her controlled." He answered.

Severus only shook his head remaining silent, it would take the Wizarding World years before it would return to normal, the imminent threat was gone but the felling of fear remain. As they reached the gates of Hogwarts, Severus paused looking back as a pensive expression morphed on his face.

"Severus?" Lucius asked.

"Go to Black Manor, make sure Bella is alright and that my father hasn't destroyed the house, I need to make a stop before I confront him." He replied at Lucius hesitation he gave his friend a small smile, "I'll be alright Lucius, I'll be there in a few." He said and apparated, Lucius scowled at the spot that held his brother and disappeared him self.
