Harry picked up Parker and walked towards the door, he sighed and the door opened, Harry smiled at the tall figure
"Hello Tom"
Tom nods at Harry "Hello Harry, may I ask why you have that thing in your arms?"
"That thing is my kid Tom" Severus walked up behind Harry and placed a hand on Harrys shoulder, Toms pupils shrunk into slits
'Is he yours harry' Tom hissed at Harry
'Yes'
Toms eyes narrowed as he looked back at Severus, but then they softened, Tom let out a small sigh and rubbed his eyes, as he looked back up at Severus he asked
"Why didn't you tell me Severus" Harry's eyes widened, the sincerity in Toms voice was quite surprised but it calmed Harry, so harry stood and observed
"We didn't know if we could trust you yet Tom" Harry looked down at the floor for a second and back up to see Tom still looking at Severus
"I understand Severus" Tom said softly
"Tom…" Harry said with a soft voice, Toms head turned to meet Harry's eyes
"You seem to be acting out of the norm is everything alright?" Harrys green eyes met Toms fierce red ones, Harry could see the pain Tom held from a mile away
"Nagini was killed" It was so silent you could hear a pin drop, Harrys and Severus' eyes widened in shock, Draco dropped his glass of milk for the second time in two days.
" ?" Harry said, completely shocked
"Someone killed my horcrux" Harry rubbed his scar and it tingled, he rubbed it harder and it shocked him. Harry entered a pensieve like memory, his eyes were open in real time ad they glazed over, Severus and Tom watched Harry with worry, well mostly Severus did, Tom had his mind on other things
Harry watched the cloudy memory of Nagini, Nagini had been in the forbidden forest, she was looking for food of course and she came across a gorgeous highland stag. What Nagini didn't know is that it was a trap. As Nagini moved forward, a binding ritual surrounded the snake and trapped her. Two huge giants came from behind her with Dumbledore following behind. Dumbledore lifted his hand, the gryffindor sword in his hand, he brought the other hand up, both reared back, he brought the sword down, killing Nagini and beheading her. Harry went still, Severus shook Harry out of it, Harry looked at Tom with wide eyes
"Dumbledore did" Toms nostrils flared in anger, Severus looked up at Tom from Harry,
"Do you think he's going after the horcruxes?" Severus asked
"I need to gather them together" Tom muttered eyes in focus
Lucius walked up to the both of them, he did a small bow towards Tom, Tom nodded back. Lucius asked "Do you think it's possible we can put the shards of Tom's soul pieces back into him?"
Harry nodded "That should be possible"
"Oh it is trust me" Hermione came out of nowhere with a smile on her face, she then coo'ed at Parker, Harry looked at Hermione with an amused face waiting for an explanation
"I read a book about it" Hermione said
"Well no shit but i mean what will we have to do" Harry looked at Hermione
"A ritual, it'll be painfull but it will do the trick, ill write down the details later" Hermione said walking away
"I- Okay anyways, Tom can you come sit down on the couch with us?" Harry motioned his head to the couch and Tom nodded, the three of them sit down on the couch. Once they sat down Harry rearranged Parker on his lap.
"So what is it you want to talk about Harry?" Tom laid back on his couch seat
"Parker is growing" Harry said sadly
"Every human grows Harry-" Tom said slowly but Harry interrupted him
"Parker is growing a year each week" Tom looked at Parker and then back to Harry
"Im sorry what?" Tom said confused
"Parker is growing a year-" Harry repeated, Tom rolled his eyes and reiterated
"I heard you the first time Harry, when will she stop growing?" Tom asked, Severus sighed and rubbed his eyes
"We don't know" silence filled the room
"HEY WHO ATE MY CHOCOLATES" Draco yelled throughout the house
Harry shrunk into his seat "Uh oh"
"POTTAH I CAN SMELL YOUR GUILT FROM HERE" DRACO YELLS
"Shit."
Severus and Tom chuckle at Harry's predicament, Draco runs over to the couch with his wand in hand pointing at Harry, Harry held up Parker right in front of Draco's wand, Parker laughed and made grabby hands at draco. Draco picked up Parker
"Oh this is just so unfair, You can't use your daughter against me"
Severus took a sip of his tea, and chuckled
" I think he just did" Draco sent a sneer in Severus' direction causing Severus' eyebrows to go up in a 'did-you-really-just-do-that-'
"Hello Parker" Draco coo'ed with a smile on his face, Parker giggled, her green eyes glowed, Draco started to float
"Holy shit" Tom whispered as he watched the whole scene
Lucius and Narcissa watched from the kitchen, Narcissa was whispering something in Lucius's ear causing him to chuckle,
Tom looked to be focusing on something, hand on his chin very intelligent looking, something sparked in his head
"I recognized this from somewhere, the fast growth, I will help find answers but before that you have to hold off Dumbledore. Go to the forbidden forest and see what the creatures have to say"
Harry looked at Severus and they nodded
"We can do that, Draco you're on baby duty"
"Okay!" Draco said
"Can someone help me get down, i'm afraid she might do more magic and I won't recover"
"Hehehe" Hermione giggled at the scene and decided to step in
"Parker!" Hermione said and reached out her hands, draco floated back down onto the ground and let go of Parker
"PARKER" Harry and Severus yelled as Parker started to fall towards the ground, the sound of flapping wings, Parker flew to Hermione, Severus and Harry stood up jaws on the floor. Harry jumped in happiness
"MY BABY!" Harry ran to Hermione and took Parker, Harry tossed her into the air a few times much to Severus' dismay. Tom rolled his eyes at all the commotion and spelled a sonorus
"We cannot be distracted, we don't have much time" Harry glared and sighed,
"Alright Severus shall we go?" Harry said,
"Yes, Draco, Hermione, you have parker?" the two gave him a thumbs up, Hermione took Parker from Harry and took her into the kitchen
"Alright we will see you guys soon" Harry said as Severus and Harry walked out the door
"We have not gone flying in awhile have we?" Severus said in his usual low, velvety voice, Harry smiled through the memories
"You are right we have not" Both fae started to flap their wings,
"To the forbidden forest?" Severus said with a smirk
"To the forbidden forest" Harry confirmed, returning Severus' smirk
The two fae shot through the air, the feather rustling, the tip of Harry's right wing touches the tip of Severus' wing. The two look at eachother with a playful glint in their eyes. They started to fly at insane speeds, they twirled in the air, dancing with eachother. In the distance they see trees. They were almost there.
"Shall we?" Harry yelled over the noise of the wind
"We shall" Severus steadied his shoulders, the two fae started to fly so fast a boom cracked through the air. Yes bitch A SONIC BOOM im back hoes
In a matter of seconds the forest was beneath them, they hovered over the tree
"Alright let's talk to the pixies first"Harry muttered as he looked down into the misty forest, Harry and Severus went into the forest. The pixies were in hiding, it seems something had shaken their core
"Eliot? ELIOT!?" Harry yelled out, Harry befriended one of the pixies when Lockhart brought them, dumbass professor, the small pixie poked his head from behind a tree, he noticed it was harry so he flew over
"Harry!"
"Eliot!" Harry smiled at Eliot, Severus looked at Harry wondering why the fuck he is friends with a pixie
"Eliot what happened? Its a ghost down in here" Severus coughed at the bad pun and Harry glared, Harry then looked at Eliot who was sad
"The giants took over, the old wizard came in here and conquered the forest for himself, he chained the thunderbird down, the unicorns were threatened to have their horns cut off" Eliot rambled scared for his life
"The centaurs are the protectors of the forest Eliot. What happened to them?" Harry urged gently
"They said they'd come out when the stars told them to" Harry looked at Severus in fear, this was terrible it was horrific
"We have to find the centaurs" Harry said to Severus, Severus nodded
"We will find a way to help i promise" Harry said to the small pixie
"Can you really?" Pools of blue looked into Harry's green emeralds
'I dont know' "yes" Harry promised, 'Stupid boy' Severus thought
Harry and Severus parted from the pixie, flying above the forest out of the giants reach just for precaution. They was a meadow, the sky was clear there and the trees were far away. It seemed safe. Luckily it was.
Harry and Severus landed on the grass, Harry looked around. After a few minutes Harry heard horses in the distance. Harry could only think it was either the centaurs or unicorns
"Firenze?" Harry called out
"We've been waiting for you" Harry and Severus watched as the centaurs came out from the shadows. A smile spread on Harry's face, Harry ran over to Firenze and hugged him, the other centaurs watched in shock, humans don't really get friendly with creatures but then again its Harry Potter. Severus flew over to Harry and growled
"Relax fae" Firenze said to Severus, though that didn't stop Severus' glare.
"Harry we have come to warn you" Firenze had a shadow cover his face
"On the fifth of august the sun will cover the moon and great power will be unleashed, the granddaughter of magic will be the one to defeat the dark" the shadow lifted off Firenze's face
"Harry you must stay safe or else the wizarding world will go down in ruins" Another centaur spoke. Harry nodded and turned to Severus
"Today is going to be a long day isn't it" Severus muttered, Harry rolled his eyes
"Firenze" Harry said quietly
"You need to stay safe too, you and the herd, the forest cannot risk losing its protectors" Harry said worriedly
"Thank you Harry, your concern is an honor, we must go, we have to feed our young" Harry nodded in understanding.
Severus and Harry watched the centaurs gallop away (i realized i cannot use the word run damn.)
Harry sits on the ground and Severus follows
"I understand Parker will be the one to defeat Dumbledore" Harry says while looking at the ground
"but ?" Severus said
"But what if she dies in the fight" Harry looked at Severus with fearful eyes, severus' eyes widen
"Then she dies and we live with it" Harrys eyes widen with shock and anger, he stands up and points down at Severus in anger
"What the fuck do you mean we live with it Sev! SHE'S OUR DAUGHTER" Harry yelled, Severus stood up and responded
"I KNOW THAT HARRY! But we are in war and people die no matter what we do, if she dies we will avenge her Harry, she is growing at an exponential rate, we don't get to see her grow up Harry her life is flashing before our eyes. We will do what we can to protect her but there is no guarentee" Severus explained sadly
Harry huffed angrily, he was frustrated but he nodded in agreement, he walked up to Severus and hugged him. Tears flowed down Harry's face in fear of the future, Severus rested his hands on Harry's head and raked his fingers through Harry's hair. What Harry could not see was a tear running down Severus' face. Severus regained his composure and looked at Harry, he swept away Harry's tears with his thumb
"We have to be quick, we don't know where the giants are, we might have to transform when we see them" Severus said quietly, Harry nodded he sniffed and started flying, Severus followed. The two weren't flying very fast as Harry knew they were near the thunderbird.
"He should be over here" Harry said as recognized the trees under him,
"I met him in the air but they said he was chained so lets go to the ground" Harry said they landed on the ground and walked was quiet outside until a loud squawk? Wtf is the word, like a roar but it comes from a bird? Yeah, Harry and Severus flew over to the sound and found the thunderbird chained to the ground. Harry ran over to the huge creature
"He did this didn't he" Harry spoke to the creature who had a muzzle around its beak, Harry was about to touch the muzzle
"HARRY DONT! Its pure iron" it was too late Harry touched it, Severus cringed at the sound of burnt skin
"OW BLOODY HELL" Harry screeched, the thunderbird whimpered trying to shake off its restraints. Severus wrapped Harrys hand, Magic wouldn't help the burn. Severus checked the chains for dark magic, they were radiating it. Severus huffed angrily, he took out his wand
"Dimittas" Severus muttered, a purple light hit the chains but they only shook. Nothing happened
Harry summoned his staff and yelled "RELINQUO" the chains shook more but it was no use, regular magic was not going to work with this.
"Harry what if you tried using the diamond?" Severus said suddenly, Harry shook his head
"What if i transformed?" Harry looked at Severus
"Your true form or animagus?" Severus tilted his head
"Ugh I don't know, my true form is huge and I could hurt him" Harry grabbed at his hair in frustration
"You could do a strong fire resistance on him so only the chains are affected" Severus pointed out
"Would that work though? I don't know how powerful my flames are" Harry asked with his eyebrows furrowed
"I'm not sure, OH you know who we can ask for help from?" Harry said with a smile, Severus looked at Harry with an unamused face waiting for an answer
"The unicorns" Harry deadpanned, Severus nodded
"We will come back, we are just getting some extra help" Harry said quietly to the thunderbird which nodded in return
"The unicorns should be around here, lets fly above" Harry said looking at Severus who was looking elsewhere
"I don't think that's necessary Harry" Severus said quietly, Harry looked at where Severus was looking, Harrys eyes widened
"No…" Harry whispered, a unicorn laid dead next to a tree, Severus cast a spell on the unicorn, his eyes widened further
"This unicorn has no blood running through it…" Harry was shaking with anger, they all knew killing a unicorn was a crime you can never get freed from
"You don't think he-"
"I do"
"That means he was injured" Harry muttered
"Do you think the black diamond is killing him?" Harry asked severus who was still looking at the unicorn
"I think its possible yes" Severus responded, Severus started walking around the area of the unicorn, he noticed a train of foot prints, well more specifically hoof prints
"Lets follow the trail" Severus said grabbing Harry's hand, they walked in silence but Severus rubbed Harry's hand reassuringly. Things have been tense between the two of them recently, especially with the whole Parker thing. More and more footprints appeared in the ground as Severus used a special spell to reveal more. However it seemed they reached the end as a huge boulder blocked everything, they would go around but there's nothing there. Harry placed his hand on the boulder, Severus watched Harry carefully. His eyes glazed over and connected with the magic around him. Severus watched with worry as he wasn't aware of what was happening. Harry blinked and looked at Severus
"Its almost like 9 ¾ I think we can walk through it" Harry said quietly, Severus grabbed Harry's hand again and they walked through. It was like a very bright version of the forbidden forest, birds chirping and gorgeous. There was a rainbow too. (heh gay)
"Hello anyone here?" Harry called out, they looked out in the distance and saw the herd of unicorns, the two fae sighed in relief
"Hello young one" Harry recognized the black unicorn, Severus looked at the unicorn in shock, he'd never seen a black one before
"Im sorry about the one you lost" Harry said with sadness to the majestic being, the unicorn bowed its head in thanks
"Thank you, we appreciate it, now what can we do for you" The unicorn tilted its head, Harry fidgeted with his hands
"We need help releasing the thunderbird, its trapped in chains" Harry explained, the unicorn nodded its head
"We know, we haven't been able to leave because of the giants" The unicorn looked down at its leg, there was a nasty red scar in the fur.
"Will you come help us if we help keep the giants away?" Severus intervened, Harry looked at Severus not knowing he could speak to creatures
"Yes" The unicorn nodded
"We should transform and then the unicorns will follow behind" Harry said to Severus who agreed, the two fae walked through the boulder back into the forbidden forest. Harry took a deep breath and flew up high into the trees. He transformed into the black phoenix but not into his full size since he is in a forest terrain. Severus channeled his magic and became a big wolf with blue runes coating his fur that glowed. Severus was close to full size but not as the trees were part disadvantage and not. He will go bigger if needed, Harry let out a whistle alerting the unicorn to come out. The herd quickly galloped and harry followed behind
Severus stood on top of the boulder keeping watch, he then started to follow behind harry. The sun and moon were both visible in the sky, giving Severus and Harry power. Severus stopped as he heard noise, he growled lowly and kept walking behind Harry
'Something is here' Severus thought
The ground shook causing Harry and Severus to turn around, there were 3 giants
'Shit' Harry thought
The unicorns went as fast at the can and they luckily made it but so did the giants. Harry and Severus guarded the unicorns, they were in a clear field, everyone had an advantage. The giants came running at them, they had a tree in their hands. Harry roared and blew fire at them, blue fire came out and incinerated the trees. Harry created a ring of fire around him, Severus and the unicorns that were working on breaking the chains. Unfortunately one of the giants got through the fire. Harry hovered above the unicorns making sure they are safe. He watched as Severus took down the Giant that got through. Severus charged at the giant and jumped at him while changing into his full size. He was huge (he was the size of hellas wolf fenris but bigger heh.)
Severus bit the neck of the giant a snapped it in half
'Okay thats a teeny bit hot' Harry thought
'Harry you are absolutely disgusting' he thought to himself
The other two giants ran away, Harry made sure they were long gone before they changed back. Harry and Severus changed back into their human form and watched as the Unicorns break the chains. The thunderbird was free
"If you ever need me I will be in the skies, holler my name and ill come" The thunderbird said with gratitude, he flew up into the clouds and was gone
Harry and Severus thanked the unicorns however one had this to say
"Dumbledore got the dementors on his side to please be careful" Harry nodded and hugged the black unicorn goodbye
"Shall we go home Severus?" Harry asked and Severus smiled, he walked up to Harry and kissed him on the cheek
"We shall"
"But im so lazy and can we just apparate" Harry whined and Severus chuckled and nodded
"Yes, lets go" Hand in hand and POP they were back in the house
Frankly it was a mess
"Your daughter in the devil" Draco said, hair in disarray all messy so un-draco like
Severus spelled the house clean and watched Hermione put Parker to sleep
"Thank you Mione" Harry said quietly
"Of course Harry" Hermione said as she hugged him
Harry went into a blank room and conjured a chalkboard, he needed his ideas out in front of him. As he held the chalk his eyes glazed over. He wasn't in the room anymore, a lady stood infront of him with a smile
"Hello Harry"
