A/N: Sorry that this chapter is rather short... hopefully you enjoy it anyways.
"Well, we are going to have to fight. We don't have much choice!" I hear Papa angrily exclaim as we near the lab. "He threatened to contact the British ministry, and you know as well as I do that that will only lead to bad things."
"I refuse to leave Harry without one of us. I am the one that has been trained to be an auror, Remus let me do this one thing for you. Let me go fight, you take care of our son. I am not going to be alone anyways… they are sending more aurors, Tony will be there, and so will the rest of the Avengers. Everything will work out fine. Just please trust me in this. I will not be able to go out there and fight knowing that I might be leaving Harry alone again."
"I don't like this. I don't like this at all," I hear Papa reply, and I can only guess that he is pacing. He tends to do that when he is stressed.
"I know Remus, but it really is the best option right now," Uncle Tony cuts in. "We don't have that many choices anyways, so it is best to at least do it partially on our terms."
"Fine. As soon as we know where the teseract is, I will take Harry and go to a safe location. There is no point in leaving just for you guys to have to contact us and then change locations based on the teseract."
At that point, Dr. Banner and I walk back into the lab. Me happily sipping my juice, and Dr. Banner looking awkward for having heard part of their argument.
"I got him some juice, I hope that's alright," Dr. Banner says clearing his throat to announce our return.
"Of course, that fine. I am Sirius by the way and this is my partner Remus. Thanks for looking after him."
"Papa I don't want to leave Uncle Tony and Daddy! Why can't we stay with them?" I ask finally realizing what they were discussing.
"It'll be alright, you'll see. Plus we won't be that far, we will all be back together before you know it," Papa says coming over to me, squatting down in front of me.
"I know that we said that they should wait until we have a location on the teseract, but maybe they should just head to Malibu now. It's not like once they are there they can't leave again. And maybe it would be good to get Harry off of the ship, just in case," Uncle Tony says, and Daddy nods his head. The next thing I know I am scooped up into Papa's arms and we are saying our goodbyes before popping away.
"What are we supposed to do now?" I ask Papa when we are sitting in the kitchen. Papa insisted on us eating as soon as we got back. I mean I guess it makes sense, cause it is dinner time here. All of this apparating and flying around has really messed with the time for me.
"Well I don't know. We could watch some TV or play a game. It's nice outside, we could head down to the park for a little bit before it is time for bath and bed..."
"What if something happens to Daddy or Uncle Tony and we aren't there to help? We can't just sit here until they come back!"
"Harry, you are no longer a teenager. Even if you were, there wouldn't be all that much you could do. Uncle Tony has his suit and the Avengers are all well trained for this sort of thing. Before Voldemort came to power again, Sirius was training as an auror. Even he is more than capable of taking care of himself. There is nothing to worry about, it will all be fine."
"Master Remus, there seems to be a breach. There are unknowns out on the front lawn and they are headed toward the front door," JARVIS cuts in and Papa quickly turns to me.
"Harry. Go into your room, and hide. I don't care where but don't come out until I tell you so. And stay quiet!" he says picking me up off of my chair and shoving me towards the elevator. I go running as quickly as I can knowing better than to test Papa at a time like this.
I skipped the elevator and ran up the stairs to our floor, before heading down the hall and to my room. Once inside, I look around for the best place to hide, and finally settle on underneath the bed. I fall down onto all fours, and have to slide across on my stomach the rest of the way. I then focus on getting my breathing back to normal so that I can stay quiet.
I pressed my ear to the floor hoping to pick up some sort of noise from the floor below in order to know what was going on. I could hear the quiet mummer of voices but it was hard to tell if it was more than one person or what they were saying.
After a little while more, there was a large crash. This definitely came from downstairs and it sounded like it came from the front of the house. I swear my heart skipped a beat then. I shut my eyes trying to block out everything that was going on around me and just remain quiet, but it was becoming extremely hard to do.
I could hear the voices getting louder, and could only assume that they managed their way upstairs.
"Come on out kid, we know you are up here. Your dad downstairs let it slip," a woman says walking into my room.
"Shut up Bellatrix. It's alright, kid. We won't hurt you. We just want to ask you a few questions about your dad and about someone who we think is staying here with you… if you come out now we will leave you and your dad alone," a man responds. I can't stop the whimper that escapes and I immediately clamp a hand down over my mouth to try and remain quiet.
"He's under the bed," another man says, and then I hear footsteps drawing nearer. I curl up into as small a form as I can and scoot to the exact middle of the bed, hoping that this way they won't be able to grab me.
I then hear slight scrabbling, and I know that they must be trying to reach me. I give myself a slight congratulations for being able to keep out of the range, though I know it is only a matter of time before they get me out.
"Oh this is ridiculous. Stand back you two," one of the men says. "Wingardium Leviosa," I hear, and the bed above me starts to rise. Before I can even think about running I am swept up into strong arms and held tight, unable to do anything about it.
"Hurry up now, we need to leave before the dad downstairs wakes up and calls for help," the woman, who I am assuming is Bellatrix commands, heading towards the door.
"What is the point of taking the child again? I thought we came here for Harry Potter?" the man holding me asks, I am being held with my back against his chest, so I haven't seen his face yet.
"We did. And now we have a bargaining chip. No father is going to leave their child to fend for themselves in a situation like this. And all traces of Potter led to here. If they know where he is, hell even if they don't, the kid's dad will do everything in his power to find him. Now hand him over, I will apparate back to Malfoy Manor. Narcissa can look after him, I refuse to lock a small boy into the dungeons," and with that, I am handed over to the man with long blonde hair, and we disappear off into the night.
