A/N: Sorry sorry sorry, a million times over. I had all of these plans on writing a ton over break and getting real ahead, but I was so busy! Finally found some free time to finish this chapter up and get it posted, so enjoy and hopefully it won't be too terribly long before you hear from me again.
"Damn it!" the blonde man exclaims once we had landed on the front lawns. I look around and stare at the large mansion we are now at. It is easily as large as Uncle Tony's, maybe even bigger. Before I can think much about the place, we are rushing forwards, moving towards the house and through the front halls. "NARCISSA! DRACO! Where are you?"
"Whatever is the issue Lucius? Are you trying to wake the whole country? Why hello there dear," she adds spotting me and giving me a smile.
"Where the hell is Severus?" The blonde man, who I now know is Lucius asks, depositing me on a couch. Does he mean Professor Snape?
"Probably at Hogwarts, where he normally is at this time of night," Narcissa replies to him, but Lucius isn't listening.
"Mother? Father? What is going on?" A young man with equally as platinum blonde hair asks walking into the room with a robe on, we must have woken him up. "Who's the kid?"
"Draco. Go floo your godfather and tell him to get over here immediately," Lucius replies beginning to pace. What the heck is going on right now? "Are you ok, Harry? You're not hurt are you?"
"No, I'm fine. How do you know me?" I ask.
"Severus informed me of what you looked like in case someone found you. It is best to have as many eyes on our side as we can. But damn it Severus," he adds the last part to himself.
"What is all the commotion about Lucius, it can't honestly be as bad as you are making it out to be," Narcissa says walking over to me. She puts an arm over my shoulders, pulling me into her side as she sits down next to me. She then calls a house elf and asks for them to bring tea and biscuits.
"Those imbeciles actually found where they had taken and hid the Potter brat, and you are telling me to calm down? I still don't know why anyone thought it would be a good idea to de-age the boy hero leaving him virtually defenseless. How could that ever be a good plan?"
"Lucius, the next time you send your son to come and drag me over here in the middle of the night, don't. Or at least give him more information so that I know what I am actually needed for," Severus Snape says walking into the room. His eyes land on me and he stops. "Well that's unfortunate."
"Tell me about it! I get called away for a meeting with the dark lord, and this is what results from it! What's the brilliant plan now Severus?!"
"Draco, why don't you take young Harry here upstairs? I am sure the two of you could both do with some sleep," Narcissa says staring at the two men heatedly discussing the situation.
"Mother, do you not remember that Potter and I don't exactly get along?" the young blonde says, eying me warily.
"Draco, don't be daft. He has none of his memories. He has no feelings towards you, just treat him as if he were your younger cousin," she says, and I hear Severus snort.
"Did you hear that Lucius? You have a nephew, or should we be calling you Uncle Lucy?" Severus jokes, and I can't help but feel slightly confused. The only interaction with Severus that I can remember, resulted in him taking my memories, and he acted a lot different than he is right now.
"Can no one else take this situation seriously and realize the amount of problems that will arise from it?" Lucius says starting his pacing again.
"Just calm down Lucius. Let me contact Dumbledore so he can contact the dog and the wolf before they barge in here and tear your mansion apart… though they may do that anyway," Severus says before Narcissa cuts in again.
"Harry, Draco, go on up to bed. I promise that you aren't going to miss out on anything. Draco if you don't want to share your room, put him in the guest room across the hall from you. Or call a house elf to do it. Please Draco?" She adds when neither of us make a move to do so.
"But I want to go home… why are you making me stay here?" I ask, finding my voice.
"It'll be alright Harry. You will be back home where you should be in no time. For now though, it is best to get some sleep so you are ready when the time comes," Narcissa says pulling me briefly into a hug before standing me on my feet. "Draco?"
"Fine. Come on Harry. Let's go upstairs," he says waiting for me at the doorway, there isn't actually a door, just an entry way. I step away from the couch, and walk over to him wary of the whole situation, though now that I think about it I am rather tired. Not that that will mean anything, I doubt I will sleep much no matter what.
"What are you doing?" I ask when we make it to the top of the stairs and Draco sits down.
"Shush, I am eavesdropping obviously. You can't honestly tell me that you don't want to hear any more."
"Lucius, I don't understand what the big issue is, he is just a boy. He can obviously stay here for the time being. The Dark Lord hardly ever stops by here anymore, and even if he did the boy doesn't look the same. Just rename him or something!" Severus annoyed, exclaims.
"You can't be serious Severus. You expect him to just sit here quietly and not put up a fuss? I know Draco is a little high maintenance, but I am pretty sure most children don't approve of being taken and kept away from their families," we hear Lucius reply and I cast a side long look to Draco but he isn't looking at me.
"Look, I really need to go see Dumbledore before something drastic happens. But invite the wolf and his dog companion over for all I care! Let them see each other and see that no harm will befall the boy!" Severus says and we can hear him storm out of the room. "But, don't let the boy out of the mansion. He is safest here," we hear him call out before the sound of the floo, sounds meaning he left.
"What do you think Narcissa? Do you think we should keep him here until things have settled down? I always said that whoever planned on deaging him was an idiot, but I thought leaving England and isolating themselves from not only allies, but other wizards was an even worse idea. Do you really think we could keep him safe?"
"Lucius, you do not give yourself enough credit. You have already kept the boy safe, by bringing him here instead of letting him be locked up in the dungeons off where the Dark Lord is. Keep him here for the time being, we can pretend that he is my nephew. The grandson of my disinherited sister's daughter, what was her name? Nymphadora? She rather young, so it would make sense, us taking him in out of the goodness of our hearts would actually be believable."
"You're right of course. If those two idiots couldn't go this long without finding him I shudder to think what would have happened without Severus and me to aide them. Alright, it sounds like that's settled then. Hopefully Severus gets in contact with those two soon."
Their voices get quiet, and I look over to see that Draco is leaning against the banister of the stairs asleep. Unsure of what to do, I decide to just keep sitting where I am until someone else comes and finds me. I start to drift off, and sometime after that I jump awake to hear the sound of the floo flaring again.
"Lucius? Narcissa? Are you still awake?" I hear Severus deep voice echo through the downstairs.
"We are in the sitting room Severus," I hear Narcissa respond.
"Lucius. Narcissa," I hear a new voice say in greeting, but it is a voice I'd recognize anywhere.
"Daddy?" I mumble to myself, unsure if this is real or I am dreaming it. "Daddy!" I yell realizing that I am indeed awake, and remembering everything that has happened. I barrel down the stairs and back into the room we were in beforehand to see Daddy standing next to Severus who by the looks of things just sat down in a chair.
"Harry? Oh thank God you are alright!" Daddy says meeting me half way and scooping me up into a hug. "You are alright, yes?"
I nod my head hugging him close and not wanting to go back upstairs to Draco.
"Harry, why are you still awake, we sent you and Draco up to bed a while ago," Narcissa says standing up and walking over towards Daddy and I, before running her fingers through my hair.
"Draco fell asleep on the stairs and I didn't know where to go…"
"That boy, I swear I don't know what to do with him anymore. Lucius I told you spoiling him would do no good," she says pulling Daddy and I over to one of the couches.
"Lucius I cannot thank you enough. Not only did you risk yourself by taking Harry, but I am sure you are the only reason Remus is still alive," Daddy says rubbing my back.
"Is Papa ok?"
"Of course! He just has to stay for a couple of days in the hospital. I think you will have to stay with him. Fury still won't let me out of helping in this fight, and there is no way I will let you near it," Daddy says.
"Who is Fury?" Lucius asks.
"Oh wait until you hear this. You are not going to be able to dream up what those two imbeciles have gotten involved in during their few weeks away," Severus asks and I turn and give him a glare. "Some things never change," I hear him mutter to himself.
"Well, let's put the kid to bed and then we can establish a plan after you have informed us of the happenings in America."
