Harry began to stir. He had been sleeping mostly since it happened. His body was healing from the trauma done to him. Harry was too upset most of the time when he woke. It was two days after he had come to the manor. Severus was sitting next to the bed. Dora had come as well but she had gone to speak to her Aunt. Every time Severus looked at his wife he thought about the baby. He thought about his second son. Could he protect him any better then he had Harry? He should have sent Harry to Durmstang. He should have retired from teaching and taken Harry away the first time the man looked at him. Harry should not have been lying in that bed. His son should not have been suffering like this. He should have been at school worried about the next quidditch game or the next essay he needed to write. He should be snogging his boyfriend. He hoped George would come to his senses and come soon. Harry really needed his love.
Harry's eyes began to open. He watched his son as he tried to focus his eyes. He was not shocked for Harry had so many potions through him lately. He needed to start sleeping without them. Severus wished his son was home. He hated neither he nor Remus could be with Harry all the time. But for now until they had the warrant to arrest Dumbledore they could not give him any reason to be suspicious. He prayed Lucius and Moody were right and it happened the next day.
Harry saw him. "Daddy."
Severus' heart ached as his son still used the term. "Yes prince, I'm here. Your Aunt Cissy told me you had a rough morning."
Harry was absolutely pale. He was scared right now of anyone other then his Daddy and women near him. He wanted Uncle Moony though. He knew his Uncle Lucius loved him. But right now he was just jumpy. He had not screamed and cried the way he had when he was little. But he still drew away from him. Lucius understood. Lucius could only see the scared little boy he had brought here for the first time after Fletcher. Harry had grown a lot but he still saw the little boy in him. Just the way his dad did. He was the same with his son. It was natural for the dads as well. Lucius loved him like a son.
Harry looked at his dad. "Daddy have we found a way to arrest him?"
Severus was glad to finally have some good news for his son. "Yes prince. We have more then enough. Moody will hopefully arrest him tomorrow."
Sobbing in relief Harry went into his dad's arms. Sitting against the pillows with his son Severus explained what they had found out. He saw his son's shock when he realized Ron had been involved in all of this. They had hoped to have him arrested that day but it had been postponed. They had wanted to make sure that everything was in place so that Albus would not get away with some kind of technicality. They wanted there to be no doubt when he was arrested that Albus would go to prison and that he would spend many years there.
Harry looked at his belly. He had not been awake the times his dad had visited. "Daddy can you run a pregnancy test?"
Severus sighed. "I promise I will. But I don't want you to worry. Albus will have used protection and I don't think at his age you will be pregnant from him."
Though he hoped it would be some comfort from his husband it had not. He knew Harry needed to have the test done. Harry needed to know for sure. He needed to hear those words. Severus definitely hoped that Harry would get the words that he needed. He prayed that they were all right. He needed to know Harry was safe. He wanted only one baby on their mind. He wanted Harry to only have to worry about one little baby. His little brother. Harry would be a good big brother and he would love to baby-sit as he did with Max and Rory but he was not ready for parenthood. Or to have to go through the stress of having to put a baby up for adoption.
Harry rested his head against him. "Have you spoken to George?"
Severus sighed. "Your brothers did. He is hurt Harry but I promise he is sorry. He will come in a day or two prince. I promise. I promise he will come."
Resting in his dad's arms Harry prayed that he was right. He prayed that George still loved him. He was so hurt when George said that. His heart was breaking. He could not understand how George could believe he wanted this. But he loved him so much. He loved George more then he thought possible. It broke his heart. He just needed to see him. He needed to hear him say he understood. He needed to hear George assure him that he did not hate him. He needed those words. He needed them. He was not sure he could handle losing him. He could not imagine going through this trial. He needed George's strength. He wanted him.
And if he was pregnant he was even more scared. Even if George did not blame him he wondered if George would remain. Would he be angry? He could not blame George if he did. How many men wanted to see their boyfriend's pregnant with another man's baby. Even when the baby was from rape. He prayed to the Gods that they could not be so cruel. He could not take any more. He had been through so much already.
Severus as always knew his son's thoughts. "When Albus is gone we will take you back to school. I think you need me and your Uncle Moony more."
Harry nodded. "I love Aunt Cissy and Molly but I want you. I want to be with you. And Uncle Moony. But not with them both there. Not with them both."
Right now Harry could not face school. It was one reason he had wanted to come here. School held both the man who raped him and his boyfriend. He could have deal with being in the dungeons for a few days if he knew all those who loved him were there to protect him. He could face being there even if things were bad between him and George, if the headmaster was gone from the school. He just needed one of those pains removed from the school to make it easier for him.
Harry remained in his dad's arms even when dinner was brought. Narcissa came in with the food but she saw father ad son together and left. She thought the best thing for Harry right now was some father son time. She was sure they could coax Harry into returning to the school as soon as Albus had been arrested. She loved Harry and was happy to take care of him but like last time she knew what was needed.
Harry looked at his dad before he drifted off to sleep. "Will you stay with me tonight Daddy please? I don't want to be alone."
Severus kissed his son on the head. "I think Dora would understand. And tomorrow we will run the test to make sure once and for all that you're not pregnant Harry."
Just clinging to his dad Harry drifted off. He had mixed feelings. He was scared for the test. He was scared he was pregnant. But he also knew he needed to have it. He needed to know one way or another if he was pregnant. He could barely sleep without having dreams about it. As he fell asleep in his dad's arms he did not care he was too old to be having his dad sleep with him. He did not care about anything but feeling safe and protected there. Narcissa came in when Harry was asleep and assured Severus that her niece would indeed understand. Dora had returned to school before dinner and Narcissa would send word there.
Severus looked at his son and her. "Part of me wants to be there when the monster is arrested but I can't leave Harry."
Narcissa shook her head. "You will be there for the trial and the rest. It is more important right now that you are here for your son, for the test and just to cling to."
Harry was not the only one who fell asleep that night thinking about the pregnancy test. Everyone in the house did. They all prayed they had not been lying to Harry that there was little to no chance he could be pregnant. Tomorrow they hoped would bring comfort to not only Harry but the rest of them as well.

The school was in for a surprise at lunch the next day. George and his brothers were ware. The fact that all of the Weasley brothers were at school said something. They knew that Moody was coming. They knew that the headmaster would be arrested. And they would all be there. Harry could not be. Harry was still badly shaken. He was still not out of bed yet. His dad they learned was staying at the manor. His morning classes had been cancelled. Bill did not say it but he knew why. He did not want to worry his other brothers. Harry was going through probably the scariest test he would ever go through. He noticed Remus was gone as well.
Fred noticed as they moved into the hall. "Both his dad and Uncle are gone. Is there something else wrong with Harry?"
Bill sighed and hared a look with the others and he nodded. "Harry is having a test today. His Uncle went to be with him and hold his hand through it."
He did not explain what the test was. But then again he really did not need to. They knew in their hearts what it was. George had not been close enough to hear. He had kept his distance from them. He was aware that his brothers were still angry with him. Fred had turned his bed into a skating rink and hung his clothes from the tower like a clothes line. He had been expecting more. He assumed that Fred knew deep down some what where he was coming from. He knew he was lucky that his brothers or Harry's dad had not done worse. He felt like encouraging them to. But right now he just could not face Harry yet. He hated hurting Harry. He knew he was likely adding to the pain every day he stayed away from Harry, but he did not think he could look at Harry right now without anger.
The anger was directed at the right place finally. He knew he was angry at the headmaster. But he was still worried how that anger would come out. He was scared that he would hurt Harry again. He knew Harry deserved better of him. But if it was between hurting him with his absence or with lashing out at him again, he would take the second option for now.
The school was surprised when Alastor Moody and two aurors came in. Sirius was at the head table as was his cousin. They were both too close to Harry to be involved with the actual arrest. They had to make sure that there was absolutely no doubt that the headmaster was arrested properly.
Bill looked over at Slytherin table for he had joined his brothers with Percy. "Where is Ron? The entire school should be down here for lunch."
Percy noticed what he was seeing as well. "I don't think there is anything to worry about. I mean the headmaster is about to be arrested."
They watched as it was unfolding. They hoped that Percy was right. They assumed that he was. The headmaster would not be there if he had known. He would have tried to leave. At least they assumed he would. The aurors had not removed Ron. They had known it would send up red flags if they did. Molly had offered to take him. But that would have been no good either. For now they just had to keep faith that this would be enough.
Albus had stood up. "What is the meaning of this Alastor? Usually we do not permit visitors unless they have family here or have been invited to the school."
Alastor stopped. "Albus Dumbledore you are under arrest for the rape and assault of Harry Snape."
Shock an through the school when they heard this. It had not gone unnoticed Harry had been missing. They had been told that he was sick. But he had been good for the game. And Harry was of course almost never sick. The fact both his dad and Professor Moody had been away also did not go unnoticed. Remus had a sub but Severus had just cancelled his classes for the day. They should have known something was up. And most of them had. But this was a shock. To hear that the headmaster had attacked and raped one of his students ran through the room. They had considered arresting him in private but they needed for there to be no doubt it was done right and the school would have learned soon enough. And the rumours would have been worse.
Albus looked at them. "The charges are completely unfounded. I have never touched a student before. You can not arrest me on any trumped up charges."
Moody sneered. "With Tom there was no evidence but a scared child's testimony but we have all we need this time. You are going to prison for a very long time."
The entire school was shocked once again when there was a bright flash and suddenly the headmaster was gone. For a moment they thought it was Fawkes or he had used his animagus form. But Fawkes had not been seen at school for some time and would not have helped Albus escape custody. And the lizard would not have got far. Moody was shocked to realize that the headmaster had managed to activate a portkey. It could be done but only when a specific section of the school had the wards brought down in that area. It would have had to be perfectly timed and staged. The headmaster must have known or suspected they were coming.
Bill looked at his brothers. "Ron! He must have warned the headmaster. But why was he here anyways? Why would he not flee as soon as he knew?"
Percy was not sure. "He might have thought Ron was wrong. Was not a hundred percent sure it would be today. Who knows how that man would think?"
Albus probably had believed that he would never be arrested. He would have had some way out. He learned they were coming at lunch. He had planed it before. He had done no magic since they came in. He must have given himself a decent space of time around his chair. He would have known the school would be watched and needed to find a time to leave.
George stopped Sirius as he was passing. "What is going to happen? I mean Harry is not safe with him out there."
Sirius stopped a moment. "I am not sure. I am heading to the manor to tell my already petrified godson that his attacker has escaped and gone on the run."
They watched him leave. They tried to find comfort. Albus was out of the school. The world would know what he had done. Harry would be safer. But they were not sure. They had little doubt that the headmaster would see he had nothing to lose any more. They all knew there was a sickening chance that Harry was even more in danger then he had been before. George felt a horrible sickening feeling in the pit of his stomach. He was so scared for his boyfriend ad what he would go through.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Harry lay there. Remus was with him in bed holding him. He had not asked for his godfather to come. He had been worried about classes. But the man had. He had sworn that there was no where else he would be. Harry was his son in his heart as much as Max and Rory were his kids. Harry lay propped up in bed. He had got out of bed for breakfast and had taken a walk that morning but for the test it would be easier for him to be in bed. His dad had agreed to do the test. He hated to have to do it but he knew it would be easier on his son if he did it. Harry could not handle any strange healer around him and Poppy would have drawn attention coming.
Severus looked at his son. "Are you ready for this cub? Remember that we will be here with you no matter what. We promise."
Harry was pale but he nodded. "I need to know. I just need to know Daddy."
The three of them and Narcissa and Molly who were both close by were all pale. They all had the assurances running through their minds. They all told themselves there was little chance. But they agreed with Harry. They needed to know. They could handle this better either way if they knew. The fear was doing no one any good especially not Harry. They just prayed that this would be good news and that Harry would be able to finally heal.
Severus ran the test and breathed a sigh of relief. "You're not pregnant sweet heart. You're not pregnant."
Harry broke down sobbing in absolute relief and built up tension. "Thank Merlin, I don't think I........"
Collecting their son into their arms both Severus and Remus held him. Both of them ad the women shared Harry's relief in learning the man had not got him pregnant. Harry still had a very long road to recovery ahead of him. But this would be easier to deal with. Harry would be able to get through the trial and heal from this better. Harry would make an amazing daddy one day. And when the day came he would be happy. But it would be with the man he loved and when he was ready for it.
They were surprised when Moody and Lucius appeared in the door way. Lucius spoke. "What happened?"
Harry looked at his Uncle. "Dad ran a pregnancy test for me. I'm not."
Though there should have been relief in the faces of the me there was not. Lucius showed some relief. He of course was pleased his nephew was not pregnant. But they all knew something was seriously wrong. There was definitely something going on around here. And the fact that Moody was there said that. Moody was to have bee at school arresting the headmaster. And he would have taken Albus to the ministry himself. Severus finally asked.
Moody could not even look at Harry. "It seems the headmaster was tipped off. He escaped before we could take him into custody."
Severus looked at them as Harry went rigid in his father's arms. "He got away? How the hell did my son's attacker get away?"
They told him about what happened. They were not as surprised as the school that Albus had made a show of it. He would have been confident he could get away. He was not going to sneak away. He wanted to make an exit. Running away before they came to arrest him was not in his character. Harry had only moment before been flooded with relief that he was not pregnant and was now hit with the horrifying news that his attacker has escaped custody.
Harry looked at them all. "He is going to come after me again. He is going to come after me. I am never going to be safe. I am never going to be safe."
They all wished they could assured him he was wrong. They wished they had some words of comfort. But they knew there was a good chance he was right. Albus would want revenge. He would want to destroy the boy who had finally brought him down. They just prayed that they could keep him safe this time. They were not about to leave him out as bate to catch the man. They had to catch him. If not Harry, they wondered if someone else would be hurt by the ma.
Severus took his son back into his arms. "I know I failed before but I swear I will keep you safe. I will see that ma pay for what he has done to you. I promise
