Dracka looked the two vampires over as they walked down the street towards the safe house that Adam Calfer was being held at. Severus walked silently behind him keeping an eye out and Dracka glanced at Severus before focusing on the vampires. The girl was only young for a vampire and the man wasn't much better, they were fledglings more than anything else. The girl would be about twenty and the man only just turned by a few years. The girl interested him, for the fact of her colourings. She was a born vampire and yet the red hair and blue eyes were very rare in vampires.
The man held the girl close as his eyes darted around, every now and again they would touch on Dracka and he would lower his gaze. Dracka felt his heart clench for them, they were only children to him. Both should have been kept safe in a Coven and not on the streets. They stopped outside the apartment door and Dracka pressed the buzzer as the two vampires sniffed the air slightly.
Adam answered the door then froze when he saw the two vampires, the girl cried out and ran into his arms as the man stood back with his head to the side slightly. Dracka stepped back to stand with Severus and grabbed his hand. The girl started to cry into Adam's chest as he held her tightly. The man shifted with a slight whine and Adam slung an arm around him and pulled him close. Dracka could see the makings of a leader in Adam, despite his age.
Vampires were always close, it was the demon in them that drove it. The need for blood and the closeness that called for created bonds in a Coven. Those with magic were drawn even closer as dark magic would pull on them. The demon would settle when it was surrounded by magic of the same kind. That made him think of Blake and the way that his demon and magic had always given the man comfort, when the Hallows were flaring. He guessed that Blake had his own kind of demon.
Severus tightened his hold on his hand and he looked up at the other man but he was watching the vampires. Dracka turned to see the three of them watching him. Dracka gave them a nod before tugging on Severus's hand and turning his back on them. He had done his part, it was up to them now.
They strolled over towards the lift and pressed the button. Severus turned to him as they waited. His dark eyes looking him over and Dracka met his eyes calmly.
"That's it?" Severus asked with a slight frown. "No growling or bitting?"
Dracka gave the man a smirk as the lift 'pinged' and they stepped into it.
"That's it for my part," Dracka replied. "They are Adam's and not mine. They fall under him and Adam is under my protection."
"How do you remember who fall under you and who is above you?" Severus asked in interest.
"Easy for me," Dracka said with a leer. "I'm the head of my Coven, so everyone falls under me."
Severus gave him a smirk that had him shifting. He pulled Dracka close and kissed him. Severus took his time and his kiss was soft which was unlike his normal. The taller man pulled back and looked down at him with dark eyes.
"Blake is meeting us in London," Severus mentioned as they stepped out of the lift. "He won't be in a good mood since he would have been at St Mungo's."
"He really doesn't like that place?" Dracka remarked.
"No, he doesn't." Severus agreed. "I think they kept him there after he was tortured and I don't think he was in a great mental state then."
"Do you think they had him locked up?" Dracka asked with a slight growl that had people moving away from them on the street.
"He's never said," Severus remarked softly. "But you saw what he was like when he had that flashback. He had no idea that we were there."
Dracka nodded as they walked down the alley where the apparation point was. Severus grabbed Dracka's arm but didn't apparate them. Dracka turned to the man in question and stilled at the look in Severus's dark eyes.
"I'm concerned about him," Severus admitted.
"He's strong Severus," Dracka replied mildly.
"Yes," Severus confirmed with a sigh. "It's been three years today since Albus passed away."
Dracka started at the change of conversation.
"It didn't help that Minerva passed about six months after him," Severus added. "It hit him hard."
"Yes, " Dracka agreed. "We were still at the school. He disappeared for a week and only turned up for the funeral."
"Yes," Severus stated with a nod. "Now all this with Scorpius and his capture."
"You think he isn't dealing with everything?" Dracka asked.
"I'm not sure," Severus replied. "He doesn't say anything, unless you force it out of him."
"That was another reason that you both left Hogwarts?" Dracka questioned.
"Yes," Severus conceded. "He started to see more and more children that he knew and it started to wear on him. Every year when the first years were brought in, he used to look them over and I could tell he was picking out the ones he knew and the ones that should have been there and weren't."
Dracka's heart clenched, they still didn't quite understand what it would be like coming from the future. Seeing people that had died and yet were alive now…and not seeing the ones that he would have known and loved.
"I think it started to hit him that he wouldn't see his children again," Severus added gently.
"They would have been starting at Hogwarts now?" Dracka asked.
"Yes," Severus confirmed. "Now he has been reminded of his son's death and facing his killer."
"People always want a longer life," Dracka commented softly. "I can see why Blake would think of it as a curse. At least with vampires we are surrounded by others that live as long as us."
Severus looked down at him with dark eyes.
"Our eldest," Dracka uttered and wouldn't meet his eyes. "We don't speak of it, but you can see the age in their eyes, they stop looking at the world before them, Severus. One day they will be there and the next…not. It's like the magic and age consumes them and they know that it's time to let go. Blake doesn't have that option."
Severus shivered at the vampire's words and it brought up memories of when Blake would get that look in his eyes and he knew Blake wasn't with them. That he was looking at something else in his memories and that increased his concern for him.
"We keep him here," Dracka remarked as if reading his mind. "We can only guess at his age Severus but we keep him grounded. You saw how big his family is and he came here with nothing. He draws people to him and makes connections."
Severus's lips twisted up in a smile at those words. Blake had given him that as well, a family.
xXx
Harry sat sprawled out in a bench seat at the coffee shop on a busy Saturday afternoon as he watched the people on the street. He'd been there a good hour already and he was sure that they would have told him to leave, if didn't keep ordering coffee and food. People had come and gone around him as he watched a few tourists trying to work out where they were going on the street outside.
Ry was recovering well, while Draco annoyed him on a regular basis and Ron kept him company from the next bed over. The bedside table and some of the floor was covered in chocolate frogs, lollies and flowers and Harry had made sure to grab a box of frogs on the way out. Ry would be getting released tomorrow and Harry would be picking him up and bringing him to the mansion in Blackpool to be close to him. Once Dracka and Severus arrived he would stop by Ry's apartment to pick up some clothes.
He looked around before glancing at his watch wondering where the two men had gotten to.
"Another one, sir?" A young waitress asked.
"Yes, please." Harry replied. "And two more cappuccinos."
"Three caps?" The woman asked with a frown.
"Yes, please." Harry answered as Severus and Dracka weaved through the crowd. "My friends have finally arrived."
Harry placed a fifty pound note on the table and pushed it towards the woman as her eyes widened.
"Keep the change," Harry offered with a wink.
The woman gave him a big grin as she slipped the note away before moving off. Dracka crashed into the bench seat next to Harry as Severus slid into the other side. Dracka slung an arm around his shoulders and he gave the vampire a glare. Dracka just gave him a kiss on the cheek before pulling back.
"What?" Dracka questioned. "I'm French."
"Ha!" Harry barked in amusement. "You are a vampire before being a Frenchman."
Dracka gave him a leer and Harry smirked as he grabbed his leg under the table. The waitress appeared with the coffees and placed them down with a smile as Harry slipped his hand up Dracka's leg. The other man jumped slightly as Harry's hand brushed against his crotch. Dracka leaned his elbows on the table as he looked up at the woman to cover what Harry was doing.
"Anything else, sir?" The woman asked with a smile.
"Do you want food? Severus, Dracka?" Harry asked sweetly.
"We're fine," Severus replied.
Harry rubbed Dracka's leg as he crossed his leg over his knee.
"Dracka?" Harry questioned.
"I'm fine," Dracka snapped.
Harry gave the woman a smile as his hand slid up Dracka's leg.
"That's all then," Harry stated mildly.
The woman gave him a smile before she strolled off. Dracka growled at him and Harry gave him a wink. Severus looked over at them with a smirk before he leaned back in his seat. Dracka leaned in close to Harry, a slight red tint to his eyes.
"Don't start what you won't finish," Dracka hissed in his ear.
"Who says I won't finish it?" Harry purred and Dracka's eyes darkened.
Harry grabbed him through his pants and gave him a rub. Dracka shifted his arm to block anyone's view as Severus watched them. Both men looked over at him but he just smirked back and picked up his coffee. Harry cast a silent charm that the two men wouldn't notice as he rubbed Dracka through his pants until the man started to harden. The vampire glanced around before focusing on Harry and he gave the man a sly grin.
Dracka leaned forward close to him and Harry tilted his head slightly as he increased the pressure.
"Blake!" Severus warned and looked around.
Harry flicked his eyes over to him and gave him a wink, before flicking Dracka's belt open and slipping his hand inside. Dracka growled as his eyes burned red and he leaned forward and sunk his fangs into Harry's neck. Harry hissed slightly at the pain and tugged on Dracka's cock as he moved slightly to get a better angle and Dracka clamped down harder. Harry let the vampire take in a bit of his magic as he stroked his cock. Severus's dark eyes watching them, the sound of the coffee shop coming in second.
Harry brushed his magic along Dracka's cock as he pulled and the man came as he dug his fangs in deep and Harry cursed at the pain. He quickly moved his hand to clamp down on the man's leg and dug his fingers in.
"Dracka!" Severus hissed.
Dracka pulled back as Harry panted and he pulled his magic back. Dracka licked up his neck before placing his hand over the bite mark. Dracka's eyes locked with his and they widened when he noticed how pale he was. He healed the bite wound and wrapped his arms around him and pulled him close as Harry panted, feeling a little light headed.
Harry felt Severus cast the cleaning charm as his eyes darted around, but Harry knew that none of the muggles would have noticed with the charm he'd cast. He let his head rest on Dracka's shoulder, feeling heavy and sleepy.
"Did you take too much," Severus hissed over the table.
"He's fine," Dracka replied softly, as he ran his hand up and down his back. "Blake, there is coffee on the table."
"Hmm," Harry mumbled and blinked his eyes open without realising he'd closed them.
"Severus has even drugged it," Dracka added in amusement.
Harry snorted as Dracka pushed him back and looked him over. Harry's eyes focused on the coffee on the table, feeling sluggish.
"He'll snap out of it soon," Dracka muttered. "Did you cast a spell, Blake?"
Harry nodded and let his head rest on the table top. He felt Dracka shift as he did up his pants and felt Severus's magic brush against him.
'Blake?' Severus asked across the link.
Harry sent back that he was fine but he was sure it didn't translate into words as Severus sent back amusement.
"His blood pressure must be down," Dracka commented as he rubbed his back.
"It is now," Severus replied, an edge to his words.
Harry shifted to rest his chin on his hands as he looked over at Severus. The man's eyes flicked to him and he gave him a soft smile, still feeling lethargic.
"How did you go?" Harry asked.
"Vampires all dropped off," Severus replied. "With no growling or bitting, looks like Dracka was saving it up."
Harry snorted as he pushed himself back and grabbed the coffee off the table.
"Have to stop in at Ry's apartment," Harry said after he had taken a few sips of coffee, the potion Severus had placed in it, giving it a slight after taste. "He's going to say with us, while the bone in his leg heals."
"Joy," Severus drawled.
"Well," Harry remarked. "We are staying at his house."
Severus gave him a smirk as Dracka ran his hand up and down his leg. By the time that he finished his coffee, he felt normal again and looked over at Dracka. The man gave him a leer and Harry's eyes darkened.
"Oi!" Severus hissed.
Both men looked over at him and Harry gave him an innocent smile.
"We are in public, you know." Severus snapped.
"We are wizards, you know." Harry counted then yelped as Severus kicked his leg.
xXx
Harry looked around the neighbourhood that his son's apartment was in. He wondered why, out of all the Potter properties that Ry held, he had decided to buy his own outside of London. Not that location meant much to wizards, since they could apparate but even still. Dracka sniffed as he looked around and Severus kept close to them and on edge.
Harry walked up to the block of four apartments and stepped through the door and up the stairs to the second floor with Dracka and Severus behind him. He pulled out a set of keys and Severus snorted at the little lightning bolt on the key ring and Harry gave him a smile. He opened the door as he gave the man a grin, leaving the key in the lock as he let himself in.
"Makes it easier to remember which key is which," Harry remarked in amusement then turned to see a woman with her wand pointed at his head. "Ah, hello?"
"Who are you!" The woman demanded as Harry froze in the doorway.
"Blake Sun," Harry replied with a disarming smile, ignoring the wand pointed at him. "And you are?"
"Sally Delson," The woman replied. "I'm Harry's girlfriend."
"Harry's girlfriend?" Harry repeated as he blocked the door from Severus and Dracka entering. "Ry's girlfriend?"
The woman snorted and Harry could feel the spell at the end of the woman's wand but she held it back.
"Just a silly nickname," Sally stated as she looked him over with assessing blue eyes. "He'll grow out of it."
"Grow out of it?" Harry asked in amusement. "He's had that nickname since he was four and he turns thirty-eight this year. He hasn't grown out of it yet. What are you doing here?"
"I'll ask the questions," The woman snapped. "You are breaking into an Auror's apartment."
"Ah, no." Harry uttered. "I have a key."
Harry went to get the key out of the lock.
"Don't move!" Sally snapped and Harry could feel the spell building.
Harry held his hands up and stepped into the room, leaving the door open and the woman's wand followed him the whole time.
"Ry was injured on a mission," Harry explained as he laid his hands on the top of his head. "He asked me to come and get some clothes, since he'll be staying with me."
Sally's wand dropped slightly as a disgusted look overcame her face.
"Ha!" The woman snarled. "I knew he was queer!"
Harry heard a loud snort from the doorway and the woman's eyes flicked over that way.
"You do know I'm his father, right?" Harry asked in amusement.
The woman gasped as her blue eyes widen and she looked him over.
"You said your last name was Sun," Sally accused.
"Adoptive father," Harry amended with a grin. "Blake Sun, nice to meet my son's girlfriend, by the way. Can I lower my hands?"
Sally quickly placed her wand away as she looked him over with large eyes before flicking them towards the doorway as Severus and Dracka glanced around the door. Sally's eyes flicked between all three of them.
"Oh, sorry!" The woman cried. "Harry didn't call me and I've been staying here and he gets called into work all the time and it's not a great area."
Harry grinned in amusement as the woman ran out of words.
"What was that about him being queer?" Dracka asked with a leer as he smoothly stepped into the room as Severus shut the door behind them.
"Ah, well." The woman stuttered, as her eyes darted around and Harry could see Dracka taking an interest as the woman started acting like prey. "You know, his father-ah."
Sally's blue eyes darted over to him and he gave her a leer.
"Yes?" Harry purred sweetly, drawing out the word.
"Um," Sally stuttered with wide eyes.
Harry gave her a smirk before walking towards Ry's bedroom as Dracka smoothly stepped closer to Sally. Severus leaned back against the front door, trapping her. From the wide-eyed expression, she was aware of what they were up to and the fact that she wasn't going anywhere.
"So," Dracka purred from the other room as Harry picked up Ry's bag. "Is our Harry lacking in certain departments? That it makes you think he's gay?"
Harry barked a laugh as he opened Ry's cupboard as the man's wards brushed over him. He couldn't hear the woman's reply as he filled Ry's bag with some clothes for a few days. He paused when he found some photos and pulled them out. It was a photo of Ry and himself just before the final battle at Hogwarts and he smiled as he looked at Ry's grinning face. There were a few others of Ry's friends and even some of Severus and himself.
He placed the photos back where he found them, as he zipped up the bag and strolled back into the living room. Sally was seated at the dining table with Dracka leering at her. Severus gave him a smirk as Dracka looked over at him.
"Looks like your son needs lessons." Dracka drawled and Sally blushed bright red.
"Maybe just more practise?" Harry suggested and Sally blushed even deeper as she palmed her face with a groan. "I'll be sure to let him know."
"Oh, no!" Sally cried with wide eyes. "Don't tell him that!"
"Don't worry, my dear." Harry purred. "I'll be sure to make him blush as much as you are now."
"Oh, Merlin!" The woman moaned. "No wonder he didn't want me to meet you!"
All amusement fled Harry at those words as he felt a stab of hurt in his heart but the woman wasn't looking at him as she shook her head.
"Please don't tell him that I held a wand on you," Sally cried as she looked up at him. "We've only been dating a couple of weeks!"
Harry nodded sharply and turned towards Severus and the front door.
"Ry's at St Mungo's until tomorrow morning," Harry announced.
Severus stepped to the side as Harry moved closer and opened the door. Harry brushed passed him and out of the apartment. The woman's words had cut deep, his own son didn't want him to meet his girlfriend.
"Blake?" Severus whispered and grabbed his arm.
"I'll meet you back at the house," Harry stated and tugged his arm loose as he walked off down the stairs.
xXx
Harry looked down at his son sleeping, early the next morning, before glancing around the private room in St Mungo's that Ry had been staying in. He collapsed in the seat next to the bed as he nervously played with his silver knife.
He hated hospitals as he started to flip his knife to take his mind off it.
"How long have you been there?" Ry asked sleepily.
Harry looked over at his son and gave him a smile.
"Long enough to know that you talk in your sleep," Harry stated mildly as he leaned back in his seat.
"Really?" Ry asked.
"You always have," Harry observed. "Used the scare the crap out of some of your baby sitters. Except Albert, he thought it was amusing."
"You never told me that!" Ry accused as he sat up.
Harry looked the man over, he was only wearing hospital pants and his chest was bare. He could see the bruises from where his vest had taken the brunt of the explosion as well as the thin line on his arm from the healing charm. Harry picked up the cane next to him and held it out to Ry with a smile. Ry gave him a big grin as he took the cane in his hand and sat on the edge of the bed.
"I'm not sure I like it from this side," Ry remarked with a smirk.
Harry just sat back in his chair and watched as Ry pulled himself from the bed and winced in sympathy. Ry limped towards the bathroom, his cane tapping away, giving support to his still mending leg.
"I left clothes in there for you," Harry called out.
"Found them, thanks." Ry replied, before Harry heard the shower start up.
Harry tilted his head back on the wall behind him, he hadn't slept well last night and it was starting to catch up with him.
"Are you okay?"
Harry opened his eyes to see Ry looking down at him in concern as he leaned on his cane in his left hand.
"Sure," Harry replied and stood. "Ready to go?"
"As I'll ever be," Ry replied with a grin.
The Potters made their way out of the room and down the hallway. Ry's cane tapping along as he limped on his left leg. Suddenly Harry chuckled and looked over at his son next to him. Ry gave him a glare which just made Harry snigger.
"Shut it!" Ry snapped.
"Want to change spots?" Harry asked with a smirk.
Ry glare picked up a notch and Harry smiled at his son softly. Ry's glare softened as he reached over and ruffled Harry's short hair. Both Potters feeling like their roles had been reversed.
xXx
Kingsley looked around the table as he strolled into the dining room of the Potter mansion. Blake sat next to his son on one side of the table with Miller on the other side next to Snape and Dracka. They all looked up when he walked into the room and took a seat next to Blake.
"We're getting reports of Death Eaters gathering," Kingsley said stiffly as he placed a few files on the table.
"Just Death Eaters?" Blake asked as his sharp green eyes looked him over and Kingsley pushed the files in his direction. "Are we looking at another pureblood push?"
"Possibly," Kingsley replied.
"With Scorpius behind it?" Blake mused. "You would think heading towards ninety, he might want to look at retirement and not stirring up a blood war."
"How old are you again, Dad?" Ry asked with a smirk, the gash over his right eye and the fading bruising on his face, not dimming the light in his eyes.
"Shut it you," Blake muttered without heat. "I would be very happy to retire, if these pureblood nutcases and Dark Lords would stop causing problems."
"If I can't retire, you can't." Kingsley stated bluntly. "At least you don't have a whole Department to look after."
"I'll second that," Miller added with a grin. "Dylan is heading towards ninety and still not letting the Department go. I'm sure that he will haunt the place even after his death to spite us all."
Blake gave them a grin as he sat back in his seat and looked them over. Kingsley could see the age in that stare and he was surprised that he had never noticed it before he knew that Blake held the Deathly Hallows. There had always been something different about the man, Kingsley just hadn't known how far it ran.
"Now," Blake stated. "I have a feeling that Scorpius can't use both dark and light power. He was surprised when I could. It may have been that whatever the man did to gain dark power, may have blocked him from using his light magic."
"You can use both," Ry pointed out. "Why would he be blocked."
Blake sat back in his chair and everyone could see him working out how to explain something they may not understand. Kingsley shared a look with Miller, they knew that look well.
"You couldn't use my dark magic," Blake said to Ry.
Kingsley frowned in puzzlement and could see that Miller was confused as well. The other three men however were nodding.
"Working with both magic takes time to sit down and understand what you are handling," Blake explained. "That's why when a Dark Lord gains dark magic through a dark ritual it takes them time to work with it, even if they already held some dark power to begin with. Light and dark magic are not supposed to work together. I have had a very long time to understand the magic that I hold. Scorpius may have had over fifty years to work with the magic he gained, but may have ignored the other half."
"Do we have an idea of how he came here?" Miller asked.
"We have a working theory," Severus said softly. "That he used Blake's blood or the Hallows to focus on to get to this time. Lucius may have also helped from this side with an adapted time turner."
"We can confirm that Lucius and Scorpius are working together," Ry added.
"Yes," Kingsley confirmed. "I have a team sitting on Malfoy Manor."
"I believe that he came here looking for Al," Blake intoned. "But he found me and the Hallows instead."
"He has attempted twice to separate the Hallows from Blake," Severus remarked.
"Twice?" Miller asked with a frown.
"He tried a poison over six months ago," Blake expanded. "A poison that targets dark magic, which is what the Hallows are."
Kingsley sucked in a breath with wide eyes as he looked at Blake.
"You didn't call us," Miller stated.
"He didn't call me either," Both Dracka and Ry said at the same time and all eyes turned to Blake.
"We didn't think, at the time, that it was an attempt on the Hallows," Severus explained. "We weren't sure what it was."
"It was," Draco stated as he sauntered into the room and dropped a notebook on the table. "And it would have worked."
Kingsley watched as Blake paled and his hand shook slightly as he reached for the notebook.
"So," Blake said tonelessly, not giving anything away. "There is a way to separate me and the Hallows?"
"Yes," Draco replied as he took a seat next to Severus and across from Kingsley. "I've run your blood and magic and there is a way to separate them out. If that happens, I believe that the Hallows will revert back to their original form until another master comes along."
Kingsley watched in concern as Blake opened the notebook and wondered if the man was tempted. He glanced around the table and could see that he wasn't the only one thinking that.
"They would not give you up without a fight, Blake." Draco pointed out. "They have found a life with you, in the same way that you use their magic."
"Magic finds a way to find a life for itself," Blake uttered.
"Is that why we had trouble bringing him back to life after we found him?" Ry asked Draco.
"Yes," Draco confirmed. "The poison was still in his blood, it wasn't working as fast as it was with Severus because Blake had burned it out of his magic, but it was still working. It made the Hallows slower to react, slower to bring him back."
Kingsley's eyes flicked to Severus, but the man was watching Blake intensely.
"That is the only record, Blake." Draco informed him. "I have destroyed everything else."
"Severus?" Dracka prompted and everyone looked over at the man.
Severus pulled the elder wand from his holster and Kinsley frowned, wondering why he had Blake's wand.
"We have found another effect of the Hallows," Severus announced.
Blake looked over at him with a frown.
"What would that be?" Blake asked slowly.
"It's slowing Severus's aging down," Dracka said into the silence.
"It's what?" Blake asked in surprise and Kingsley felt better that the other man could be just as surprised as them.
Everyone looked at Severus and had to agree that the man hadn't aged as much as he should have. Blake frowned and closed his eyes and stilled making everyone pause. When he opened his eyes again, they had a slight glow about them as he looked around briefly before focusing on Severus and the wand. Kingsley always wondered what Blake saw when he would look at the magic. Everyone knew to be quiet and still as Blake worked and to only say or do something if he asked.
Blake looked at Severus and cocked his head to the side before slipping off both his rings and placing them on the table then looking at his son beside him.
"Can you take off your bracelet?" Blake requested.
Ry pulled the bracelet off his wrist and placed it on the table in front of Blake. The man pulled all the items together on the table and just looked at them. Kingsley shared a look with the others. Blake moved the other items to the side except the wand, then he placed the Hallows ring to the top of the wand and the snake ring at the bottom. Then Ry's bracelet on top of the wand, why he did that Kingsley had no idea as he watched. Blake lean back in his chair and look at them with a frown on his face.
He leaned forward and moved the two rings to either side of the wand before he pulled a piece of chalk from his pocket. He drew a circle around the outside of the items and Kingsley saw Ry wince as he watched. He gave the man a smirk as Blake marked a table that was probably hundreds of years old without a care. The small circle flashed up green before them as Blake slowly stood up and looked down at the items.
"So," Blake announced after a couple of minutes and looked around at everyone. Kingsley could see his eyes had gone back to normal. "It's not because Severus has been holding my wand, it's his connection to me and through me the Hallows."
Blake broke the circle and gave Severus back the elder wand as he slipped the two rings back onto his fingers then he looked at the bracelet on the table.
"Good news, Ry." Blake proclaimed as he grabbed up the bracelet and held it out to his son.
Ry grabbed the bracelet, but Blake didn't release it and the other man frowned.
"You also have a connection with me," Blake stated and released the bracelet.
"So," Ry said slowly as he placed the bracelet back around his wrist. "My aging will slow down as well?"
"As long as I hold the Deathly Hallows and you have a connection to me," Blake whispered and Kingsley shivered. "What that means later on down the track, I don't know."
"Stop creeping the man out," Dracka drawled with a smirk.
Blake threw a smile over at the vampire before looking back at the circle on the table, he pulled the chalk out again. He redrew the circle then a line down the middle and a triangle outside of the circle.
The symbol of the deathly hallows.
Blake sat back in his chair and they all looked down at the symbol and Kingsley could feel the shiver run down his spine.
xXx
Severus and Dracka looked at the symbol that Blake had drawn on the table the night before and the two men shared a look. Blake had gone to the Ministry of Magic early that morning, leaving them at the house. Severus picked up the notebook that Draco had left on the table.
"We always knew the possibility was there, Severus." Dracka whispered. "The incident with the Dark Lord was an example of that."
"I was so concerned with me dying and leaving him," Severus uttered quietly. "The possibility of him dying and leaving us didn't enter my mind."
"You and me both," Ry remarked as he limped into the room with his cane and Severus gave the man a smirk. "Don't you start! If you start coming on to me, we are going to have problems, Snape."
Severus barked a laugh as Ry gave him a smile as he eased himself down into one of the chairs at the table.
"You're not my type," Severus replied dryly with a smirk.
Dracka barked a laugh.
"We met your girlfriend, by the way." Dracka stated mildly.
"Girlfriend?" Ry asked and the two men stilled.
"A Sally Delson," Severus said slowly.
"Oh, her." Ry commented mildly with a wave of his hand. "More of a rebound really."
"She was at your apartment," Dracka mentioned with a smirk. "She held Blake at wand point."
"What was she still doing there?" Ry asked, with a frown.
"She said that you had been dating for a couple of weeks?" Severus expanded and Ry smirked.
"Yeah, right." Ry said with a snort. "Like I could put up with being called 'Harry' for weeks."
Severus and Dracka shared a look and Ry frowned.
"What?" Ry questioned.
"Where does she work?" Severus questioned slowly.
"The Ministry of Magic, why?" Ry asked.
"Blake," Severus and Dracka said at the same time.
xXx
"Blake!"
Harry turned at his name to see Sally hurrying towards him with a big smile on her face. She pushed her light brown hair behind her ear as she stopped in front of him.
"Sally," Harry greeted with a smile. "No holding me at wand point this time?"
"Oh, no!" The woman gushed with a slight blush. "I wanted to make it up to you, maybe a late breakfast?"
"Ah, sure." Harry stuttered and looked around the Ministry. "I skipped breakfast this morning. I could go for some coffee before I have to start on more paperwork."
"Perfect," Sally cried with a grin and took his arm through hers. "You can tell me all about Harry. I bet he was a cute child."
