Lucius was reluctant to leave Harry and the baby. But he reminded himself that the manor was safer then Hogwarts. Besides Harry and the baby were both napping. His husband was going to visit George and Angie later. Harry had no idea but he would have guards following him. Lucius did not want to scare him if possible. Harry would panic about taking Rosie and Teddy any where. And he did not want hi husband to feel like a prisoner. He could keep them safe without it. He had simply told Harry he was going into the office for a few hours. Harry ran Prince Inc from the manor. He was not as hands on since coming to London. He trusted his staff back in the US and abroad. But being a daddy was not enough for him. Harry had kept busy in pregnancy opening businesses. As always he was led by his heart He had bought a muggle toy store in London. And part of a game preserve in Africa as well. His son's inspiration. Lucius wished he had such heart in his business. Some would say investing in things people just loved. But Harry had tripled his fortune. And never touched his Potter or Black fortunes.
He smiled as he looked into the bedroom. His husband and Teddy were taking a nap together. Teddy had fallen asleep in his arms reading. Rosie was asleep in the cradle next to the bed. He loved the image of the three of them. Along with Draco, Liam and Blaise they were his life. Part of him wanted to join them for a nap. But he had to protect his life. And Penny and Melissa as well. He knew how much his husband cared about Penny and his goddaughter. Penny was Rosie's godmother. He would definitely make sure that they could not be hurt.
He had Draco and Fred meet him at his office. George he had known his husband was visiting of course. He had an attorney come as well. He wanted to cover all bases. He had little doubt Percy had no legal right to Melissa. He had signed over all rights to her. Not to mentioned he abandoned her mother before she was born. But that was what worried him. Percy likely knew he had no legal leg to stand on. He was worried about how far the man would go for revenge,
Draco looked at his father in confusion. "What have you called us in about? Harry just came home yesterday. I would have thought you'd not leave them."
Fred shook his head. "George told me Harry was brining the kids to see him and Angie. The twins were exited to see their new little cousin."
Motioning for them to sit Lucius took a deep breath. He explained about Hermione being back and what she had said. He assured them he had guards on Harry. He could see they were both pale as ghosts. They both loved Harry like family and Fred was as protective of Penny and Melissa as Harry and George had become. The news that Percy was back in the country and there was a chance he would be going after Melissa.
Lucius' attorney looked up. "There is no way Percy could get legal custody of the little girl. I am having a restraining order drawn against him."
Draco looked at his dad. "Maybe you should consider moving them into the manor for now. Penny can do the store books and work from the manor as easy."
Lucius had already considered that. He had not been certain though. He had not wanted to worry Harry if he could help it. Or Penny for that matter. But he knew it made sense. Penny would definitely be safer. And she could just as easily work from the manor. He hated up rooting Melissa from her nursery. But there were dozens of bedrooms in the manor and they would easily set up a make shift second nursery for Melissa there while they were sorting this out. The attorney found out that Hermione and Percy had legally changed their last names to Hermione's mother's maiden name and had come into France and then taken the Chunnel to England. They had definitely taken every step to make sure even with Lucius and Harry's contacts that they would not be known to be back until they wanted to be known.
He knew he would need to tell his husband. But deep down he had known he would have to anyways. Harry would find out sooner or later. And the longer that he kept this from his husband the angrier Harry would be with him when he found out. He was trying to protect Harry but that would not dull his husband's anger.
Draco looked at his dad and Fred. "You know I am happy to do what ever to protect my little sister and Melissa. The Zaibinis have some good muggle PI contacts."
Lucius nodded. "I was thinking about that. Most of mine are in our world. Do you think Carlos would be able to lend us a hand?"
Reminding his dad that Carlos and him had been friends for years h knew he would not even have to ask his father in law. Carlos would offer when he heard. Especially after what Teddy had done for Liam. Liam was the only Zaibini grandchild. Draco would likely make them one again later on but for now it was true. Teddy had saved Liam's life. They would want to return the favour to Harry's family. But Carlos would have helped before then he was sure as well.
Fred stood up. "I am going to go to the shop and see my brothers. I would ask perhaps some security on our houses, even if just one, till this is over."
Lucius smiled. "We already did. There have been guards since yesterday morning on both your shops and your homes. We will not take a risk with any of you."
Though the main worry was of course Harry, Penny and their babies they were not taking any risks. The twins' and their wives, and children could be at risk. Alicia was of course a concern for she was very pregnant. They had no idea what Hermione and Percy would do. But they knew they had come back for revenge. And they were uncertain at what levels those two would stop at to avenge the imaginary wrong that they had thought done to them some how.
Lucius looked at Fred after his son went off to talk to Carlos. "I will come with you. I will have to tell my husband what is going on."

Harry was happy to show off his beautiful family. He was a bit disappointed Lucius had to go for work. It was a bit odd going into town with both a pram and having to hold Teddy's hand. But he definitely did not mind it. Rosie was awake but she did not make a peep during the walk. She was definitely a content baby. Teddy had been as well. Well when Harry was around him. His little boy had spent too much time in Long Island. Rosie would never. Rosie would always be with her dads. And Teddy would from now on. Harry rarely was away from his son other then that honeymoon
Angelina and George were thrilled to have them. Penny and Melissa had come as well. He was surprised to see John, her boyfriend. George invited him to come. He knew Penny and John were getting serious. He was surprised when both Rosie and Melissa were to be put down for a nap John took Melissa. He was really good with the baby and Harry had little doubt he card about both the little girl and her mom.
They were having desert when they were surprised by the arrival of Lucius and Fred. Teddy ran to his Papa. "Papa. I thought you had to work."
Lucius kissed his son on the head. "I got off early. Teddy could you and your Aunt Angie go and check on the babies? I am sure they must be napping."
Angelina knew there was something going on. She led Teddy out. Harry was worried, and his worry went to panic when his husband told them. He could see Penny was even whiter then he was. John was trying to calm her and assure her that she and Melissa would be safe. Harry was about to demand to know why his husband had not told them when there was a scream from up stairs.
They raced up the stairs past the door where the twins slept to the make shift nursery where the girls were. "Angie, what is it?"
