Harry started as his phone rang and shifted Dracka's arm out of the way as he crawled to the side of the bed. He snagged it off his table and looked at the number and paled.
"Ry?" Harry answered as he slipped out of the bed.
"Get here now!" Ry snapped then hung up.
"Severus, Dracka!" Harry hissed and moved quickly to his cupboard as Severus woke with a start. "Get dressed, Ry's in trouble."
Severus kicked the vampire and Dracka started and looked around as Severus moved to dress.
"What?' Dracka asked.
"Ry's in trouble, hurry up or we leave you behind." Harry warned.
Harry tightened his belt as he slipped his gun into its holster, next to his cherry wand. Severus was ready when he was and they turned to Dracka as the vampire struggled into his pants.
"Are they easier to get off than on, Dracka?" Severus asked in amusement.
Harry snorted loudly as Dracka flashed his fangs at Severus before moving out of the room with Severus beside him. They could hear Dracka yelling after them and the two men shared a look. Harry couldn't feel anything through the link with Ry yet, so they still had time. Harry and Severus paused at the front gate of the house for Dracka to catch up.
"Could this be a trap for us?" Severus asked.
Harry pulled his knife and flicked it up in the air as he thought.
"We'll apparate at a distance and move in from there," Harry stated. "Scope it out. If it's Scorpius, he won't know about my connection to Ry or you. I don't feel any danger from Ry yet."
Dracka finally appeared and he hurried towards them as Harry slipped his knife away. Harry grabbed the vampire and Severus and stepped over the wards and apparated. Harry pulled the two men down as they landed and they crouched down beside him. They were down a slight alley behind some bins.
Harry opened his mind to the magic around them. Dracka went to say something and Severus clamped a hand over his mouth. Harry sensed out with his magic and picked up vampires as well as wizards. He could pick up his son's signal easily as well as Ron and Ginny. Scorpius was there as well and he frowned when he felt the man's dark power and he gasped and pulled back.
"Dracka stay back," Harry ordered, turning to the vampire. "He has something that is boosting his dark power, it will pull on you. Severus move out to the right for two streets then cut across. Dracka follow him but don't move in. Severus you will find two members of Ry's team that way."
Severus gave him a nod and grabbed Dracka.
"Stay safe," Severus told him.
"Always," Harry replied. "Call Kingsley and get him to apparate in where you find Ry's team. I'll open the link for you."
Severus nodded and pulled Dracka. Harry opened up the link with Severus so that the man could piggy back on his magic sight and pick up the magical signals. This was as close to binding his power he could get with Severus as Harry moved out to circle around to where Scorpius was.

"Come out, Potter!" Scorpius shouted as Ry and Ron slinked to the front of the bank as the police retreated to the back. "We have the bank surrounded."
Ry could feel the dark magic on his shoulders as he glanced over at Ron. He grabbed the man's arm and coated his skin in light magic making him shiver and Ron gave him a nod in thanks as he pulled his gun. He pulled his own light magic and coated it along his skin and it prickled slightly as they crept towards the front doors and he crouched down.
He was sure that his father and the others would have arrived by now and he would have a plan already in place. His father worked quick. Suddenly a spell smashed into the front door next to him and covered his face as he turned and glass and debris spun around him as the dark magic increased.
"Last chance, Potter!" Scorpius yelled.
Ry shared a look with Ron as he pulled his wand and channelled his magic into it. Light magic twisted and turned as he crafted the shape he wanted and the light magic changed into the shape of a white wolf. The animal snarled as its black eyes darted around and Ry nodded over at Ron. Ry released the wolf and it bounded out the door as Ry cast his mind out with it.
The wolf bolted towards the men before it with a snarl as coloured light flashed. It nimbly stepped around them as its master told it to head towards one of the men. Other creatures pulled back from him as he rushed closer and he could feel his master pouring more power into his body as he grew in size. Loud noises sounded behind him as he bunched his body to jump, his master directed him to his target and he jumped onto one of the men. He lashed out with teeth and claws as shouting started up around him and more flashes of lights hit his body and he howled.
Something crashed into his side and he went sprawling as he lost his connection with his master and the wolf ran.
Ry gasped and pulled Ron down as dark magic flared around him. Ron groaned and Ry was glad for his father's lessons as he pushed Ron to the side as the front of the bank exploded where they had been before. He could hear gunshots from the back of the bank and knew that the police were holding from that side, glad once again that Kingsley had requested armed offices. Ry pulled up an anti apparation ward around the building and out a few metres and tied it down into the ground as he pushed Ron along. They wouldn't be able to hold the bank. The dark magic heavy on his shoulders and whispering in his mind. Ron looked over at him with large brown eyes.
"Come out, come out, little Potter!"
Ry shivered as the voice brought up memories of when Voldemort was alive as Bellatrix cackled. Suddenly the glass above them exploded and Ron yelled out as Ry covered his head. An arm reached in and Ry called his silver knife to his hand and lashed out at the arm. The person yelped as the cut released a puff of smoke and the arm disappeared.
Vampires.
"Get to the back of the bank," Ry hissed and Ron ran in a crouch.
Ry went to follow when a man suddenly jumped through the window and turned on him with red eyes. Ry grinned as he pulled his silver sword and dashed forward, slashing towards the vampire as the man jumped back. Both men turned as something small and round rolled through the open door and Ry's eyes widened, seconds before the device went off.

Harry felt a bolt across his connection from his son then nothing and he pushed himself faster. The vampires and wizards had fanned out around where his son was and he used his senses to evade them as he moved in on Scorpius. He could feel Severus getting into place as Kingsley and the Aurors closed in as well.
'Hold in place,' Harry thought to Severus and felt agreement over the link.
He pushed himself as he silently and quickly broke into the building behind where he could feel Scorpius's magic was coming from. He rushed through the building until he stood in a room just behind Scorpius. The man stood on the street with Bellatrix and Malfoy on either side of him. Harry cloaked his own magic so that the other man wouldn't pick up on him. Tapping into the magic of the Hallows to give his spell a boost.
His stomach dropped and he felt rage flood into him as a man staggered out of what looked like a bank with Ry's limp body over his shoulder. He pulled on his light magic sharply and threw a ball through the window before him, right at Scorpius's back. Glass shattered around him as Scorpius flared his dark magic in a barrier and the light magic threw Malfoy and Bellatrix to the side. Scorpius twirled around on the spot in surprise.
'Now!' Harry order over the link as he jumped through the smashed window and sent another ball of light magic at the man to push them back.
Scorpius laughed as he brought up a dark shield. The man holding Ry was still within the anti-apparation wards and Harry threw a ball of magic towards him. He dropped Ry as he scrambled back as the ball of magic hit the ground in front of him. Harry winced as his son hit the ground, limply.
He skipped to the side as Scorpius lashed out with his dark magic and brought up a light shield in front of him.
"What's your game plan?" Harry demanded, as he flared out with his light magic and the vampires fell back.
"Well," Scorpius purred as he conjured a sword of dark magic and smashed it into Harry's shield. "I had planned on kidnapping your 'son' to draw you out, but it looks like I don't have to go that far."
Harry pulled on his light magic and a sword of light appeared in his hand as he jumped forward and swung it at Scorpius's head. The man brought his sword up block him. A loud 'ping' rang out on the air as the two swords hit and Harry twisted to the side. He brought his sword back around and was blocked again.
He just had to stall, as the Aurors closed in. Scorpius aimed for his head this time and Harry ducked and called his silver sword. He kept Ry in his sights, just in case as he coated his sword with light magic. The other man's eyes widened as his sword appeared and his dark blade dripped as he poured more magic into it. Harry rushed forward and flicked his sword out. The other man brought his up but Harry dropped his as he dismissed his sword and rolled before calling it again. He jumped to his feet and slashed into the man's side, completing his dirty move.
Scorpius yelled out as the silver sword cut into his skin and magic. Harry pulled back and twisted to the side as Scorpius lashed out with a wave of magic. He brought his sword around but the man apparated and Harry jumped back as Scorpius appeared with his sword, slashing through the air where Harry had been standing.
"That won't work," Harry panted as dark magic crackled along his skin and his light magic burned along his sword's blade and Scorpius's eyes widened.
"How are you doing that?" Scorpius gasped.
Then Aurors were flooding through the bank and Scorpius's vampires were running or apparating away. Scorpius looked around with wide eyes. Harry dismissed his sword as he lunged forward while the other man was distracted. His hand closed over a pendant on a cord around the man's neck before Scorpius apparated, breaking the cord, leaving Harry holding the pendant. Harry turned and ran over to his son as the Aurors moved in to lock down the area. Severus rushed over towards him with his wand out.
"Go get Dracka," Harry ordered quickly and Severus ran off.
Harry slipped the pendent into his pocket as he rolled Ry onto his back. He gently moved him into a more comfortable position as he placed his fingers at his throat. He sighed when he felt the steady pulse under his fingers and he quickly ran his hands over the man's body. Ry's flak vest had caught the worse of it, but he had a nice lump at the back of his head, but no blood. He had a large gash in his leg and Harry quickly cut the fabric of his shirt to tie it off to stop the bleeding. He quickly worked down his body and bound what he could.
A young woman suddenly knelt beside him and Harry gave her room when he saw the medic badge on her uniform.
"Clean the gashes and cuts," She ordered quickly and held out a potion and some clean pads out to him.
Harry quickly pulled his wand, conjured a bowl and filled it with a water spell. He set to work cleaning out each wound as ordered, he worked with the medic, following her orders. He cleaned the cuts on Ry's skin as she worked on the head wound before working on the cuts and the gashes. Harry would bind them up with the bandages she gave him. He had worked this way with medics many times before. He may not be able to perform healing magic but he could help in other ways.
Harry wasn't sure how long they worked together as he put his trust in Kingsley and the Aurors to locked down the scene. He could feel Severus and Dracka close by as he focused on his son. They got him stable and the woman sat back on her heels and looked between them.
"Your bother?" She asked.
"My son," Harry stated with a smile. "Good genes."
She gave him a smile.
"He'll be fine," She offered. "He has a broken leg and a deep gash on his arm and the leg will have to be seen to at St Mungo's. It could have been worse if he hadn't been wearing that vest."
"Always invest in a vest," Harry recited as he pushed back Ry's hair and the woman's eyes widened.
"Harry Potter," She gasped.
Severus snorted as he stepped over.
"That means," The woman gasped and looked up at Harry. "You're Blake Sun."
"Ha!" Dracka barked as he stood next to Severus. "Your reputation is spreading, Blake."
Harry gave a grin and held out his hand to the woman.
"And you are?" Harry asked.
"Kelly Augustus," She introduced with a smile. "The St Mungo's team should be here soon to move him."
"Nice meeting you, Ms Augustus." Harry said with a smile. "Thank you."
The young woman smiled, she had short black hair and brown eyes with slight Asian features, in her late twenties and a slight build. Severus held out a hand and helped her to her feet and she gave him a nod before moving off. Harry looked back down at his son and only stepped back when the medic team moved in.
He watched carefully as they got him ready for transport. He pulled his phone and dialled Draco's number. The man picked up on the fifth ring.
"What?!" Draco snapped.
"Ry is on the way to St Mungo's." Harry explained.
"I'll be there," Draco replied and hung up.
Harry slipped his phone back in his pocket and pulled out the pendant that he'd grabbed.
"What is that?" Severus asked.
"I don't know," Harry replied and he pulled the leather bag connected to his Gringotts vault and pulled a containment jar from it and placed the pendant inside. "I grabbed it from around Scorpius's neck. I think it was boosting his dark magic, has that feel around it."
Harry looked at it through the glass of the containment jar then held it out for Severus to take.
"Blake," Kingsley called out.
Harry walked over to the man.
"We have everything locked down," Kingsley told him. "How's Potter?"
"Broken leg and some gashes," Harry replied. "And probably a nasty concussion. He's at St Mungo's now and I've called Draco. This was a set up to get to Ry."
Kingsley frowned.
Suddenly a commotion to their right had them turning. Two Aurors were dragging a young girl, in her late teens, towards them. The girl struggled in their grip and tried to lash out but the Aurors had a tight grip on her as she cursed at them. Suddenly a man bolted out and Dracka moved quickly. He tackled the man to the ground with a growl. The Aurors pulled their wands as the man tried to get Dracka off him. The elder vampire quickly had the man pinned.
"Hold!" Harry's voice whipped out and the Aurors lowered their wands at the command.
The girl yelled out as Dracka pinned the man to the ground and before anyone could move. He ducked his head down and plunged his fangs into the man's neck and he cried out.
"Hold!" Harry yelled out again and everyone froze, even the girl.
Dracka pulled back and looked over at the girl with shining red eyes and she stopped struggling. Her blue eyes wide in her pale face, her red hair shining in the streetlights as she stood frozen to the spot
"Release the girl!" Harry barked and the Aurors let her go without thinking.
The girl ran towards Dracka and the vampire jumped to his feet and growled at her. She stopped instantly and lowered her head with it tilted to the side slightly. The man on the ground stayed where he was as he looked up at the girl. Dracka standing above him.
Harry could see the Aurors fingering their wands as they looked at Dracka and the scene before them. Dracka growled again, low in his throat and the girl fell to her knees and Dracka stood up straight. He glanced over at Harry as his eyes bled back into black.
"Yours?" Harry asked mildly.
"Yes," Dracka replied.
Dracka reached down and hauled the man to his feet, by the back of the shirt, and pushed him towards the girl. She stood with a cry and grabbed the man in a hug with tears running down her face as the man held her tightly. The Aurors looked around in confusion, unsure if they should be arresting the two.
"Vampires," Harry explained as he turned to the slightly shocked Kingsley.
"Both of them?" Kingsley whispered.
"Yes," Harry replied. "The girl is a born vampire, the man a turned one."
Both the man and the girl looked over at him before Dracka growling slightly had them focusing back on him. The man looked to be in his thirties with dark hair and brown eyes, he had a lean build as he held the girl close to him. She was only short and came up to his shoulder. They both glanced around at the Aurors in fear. Harry could see the young girl shaking as the man held her, they were both terrified.
"Dracka has them now," Harry said softly.
"Bloody hell," Kingsley swore. "And we would have cursed them."
"Maybe you need a vampire in the Aurors," Harry suggested in amusement. "An elder one that is."
Dracka had pushed the two vampires towards Severus. Harry could see the scowl on his lover's face from where he was standing and he smirked as he looked back at Kingsley. He was watching them carefully and Harry could see the calculating look in the man's eyes.
"That pendant that Dracka wears," Kingsley said slowly. "Are there more of them?"
Harry barked a laugh.
"You would have to check the Department," Harry chuckled. "That one fell through a time gap."
"Ah," Kingsley muttered. "So, they haven't been invented yet?"
"Correct," Harry answered. "And I have to charge that one up every year."
"Okay," Kingsley replied and clapped a hand to his shoulder. "Go home, Blake. I'll call you in the afternoon and you can come to the Auror Department to make a statement."
"Thanks, Kingsley." Harry said gratefully.
"Oh, Blake?" Kingsley called
Harry turned back to the other man.
"Could you pull down that apparation ward that Potter put up?" Kingsley asked with a grin.
Harry gave him a smirk as he moved to the edge of the ward. He shivered slightly as he noticed how close Ry had gotten, before he had stopped them, from passing over the ward. He reached up with his hand and grabbed the ward, he looked it over for a second before breaking it gently. He felt his son's magic wash over his hand and down his arm before the magic disappeared into the ground.
"Ry's work?"
Harry turned to see Ginny Weasley beside him, the girl had grown up and fast. She had a scar running down the side of her face and her brown eyes were hard, but they softened when they looked at him. She had her red hair tied back in a short tail at the back of her head and her eyes took in everything around her. The sight made his heart clench in his chest, this woman was a warrior.
"Yes," Harry answered. "He's at St Mungo's now."
"Ron will probably have a bed next to him then," Ginny smirk. "Vampire broke his arm."
Ginny's eyes strayed over to the two vampires with Dracka.
"The rest of the team?" Harry asked.
Ginny looked back at him with slightly cold eyes.
"Snape and Dracka found them," Ginny told him.
"Not you as well?" Harry asked. "I could pick up your magical signal and you weren't far from them."
"I moved in to help, Ron." Ginny replied as she stood up straighter.
Harry looked the woman over, being an Auror had changed her in ways that he didn't think would happen. Ron and Ry hadn't been changed much by the training and being on the job, but Ginny had. He held out his hand and Ginny looked at it for a moment before taking it. He turned her palm over and reached out with his other hand and placed it over hers, so that he had her hand sandwiched between his, palm up.
He closed his eyes briefly as Ginny watched him carefully. He focused on her and her magic and tapped into his core of light magic. Light magic pooled in his hand and he curved it into the shape he wanted as he lightly picked up the light magic he could feel under Ginny's skin. She didn't have much but it was enough.
Ginny pushed her magic towards him, once she worked out what he was doing. He smiled softly before opening his eyes and looking her in the eyes. Her brown eyes were wide as Harry removed his hand from above hers and she looked down at the small white stone shimmering in rainbows on her palm with a small hole at the top.
"Protection stone," Harry expanded and released her hand.
Ginny looked back up at him and a slight glint came into her eyes. She glanced around before pulling up a silencing charm close around them.
"What was I to you?" Ginny asked. "Partner, friend…wife?"
"All three," Harry replied with a lopsided grin.
Ginny nodded unsurprised, before stepping forward and giving him a hug. Harry held her, as memories washed over him. Ginny pulled back and looked him over before stepping back.
"You should call your mother more," Harry remarked with a smirk.
Ginny barked a laugh and Harry gave her a wink.
"You," Ginny said softly. "You…I could fall in love with."
"Ry?" Harry asked in interest.
"Not so much," Ginny stated as her smile dimmed. "He's too much like Ron."
"Ha!" Harry barked.
Ginny gave him a soft smile.
"Thank you, Harry." Ginny whispered and grabbed his hand this time.
"I hope this won't make family gatherings awkward?" Harry asked and glanced up to see Severus and Dracka both watching him. "Ah."
Ginny glanced over to where he was looking and smirked. She brought up Harry's hand and kissed the back of it. Harry looked at her in amusement as she gave him a wink.
"You don't need my help in that department, Blake." Ginny pointed out. "I better go see my brother and your son at the hospital before the rest of the red head crowd arrives to take over. Is Draco there already?"
"Yes," Harry answered as he looked at Ginny. "Put that stone on a cord around your neck, might save your life one day."
Suddenly Ginny tugged on his hand and he stumbled forward. She took advantage as she wrapped her arms around him and kissed him on the cheek. Harry pulled back and gave her a grin as she smirked back and he could feel eyes on his back. She winked and without a word turned on her heels, breaking the silencing charm, as she walked away with a swagger to her steps. Harry watched her go in amusement and fondness.
"And what." Severus purred as he moved to stand behind him. "Pray tell, was that about, Mr Sun?"
Harry turned and looked up at him innocently and gave him a big grin.
"Just being reminded why I married her," Harry remarked then squeaked as Severus grabbed him.
