Chapter 1
The plan was simple yet very complex. Sirius, as Harry's guardian, had talked with the goblins of Gringotts. He found out that Potter Castle had remained undamaged during the first war and that the goblins, for a fee, could place a very complex spell on the castle and grounds. The spell would slow down time inside the castle. The idea was for Harry, Sirius, Remus, and a few others to be determined, to go into the castle and stay there for two years, while having only a week pass on the outside. This would allow Harry protection and training while he was pregnant, as well as the peace to give birth. The only true drawback was that they would age the two years. Remus was actually looking forward to being there as he wouldn't change into the werewolf. It would allow his body to rest and repair itself.
It took a couple of days to find anybody willing to believe them and go into the castle. When Remus asked Harry who he wanted, friend wise, the immediate answer was Hermione. Both Sirius and Remus thought that would be who he would choose and had already talked to the young witch. It was her idea that Harry find a bondmate or marry a girl before going inside.
"Snape could still claim the baby and Harry even after it's born." All three men looked at her with surprise and awe. That was something they hadn't thought of. The others looked to Harry.
"Well, cub, we need to know if there is someone that you fancy." Harry turned beet red and mumbled something that none of them could hear.
"Sorry, pup, we didn't catch that."
Still red, Harry said a little louder "Hermione."
That set Remus and Sirius off with peals of laughter, while the young witch turned beet red herself. "Harry, I…. Shut it you two!" She waited until the adults calmed down some. "Harry, I am flattered but are you sure? Are you positive that it's me and not Ginny?"
Harry looked her in the eye and said "Yep. Ginny's too ….. I don't know how to say it. Perhaps too much like her mother in a lot of ways. I'd spend most of my time trying to get out of their reach. Besides the Weasleys follow Dumbledore too blindly. I do care about you and not in a brotherly way. I just never acted on it because of Ron."
"You're right, of course, as much as I hate to say it. Dumbledore would just use them in replacement of Snape. I care about you too, but I was afraid that you didn't and then would leave me, including our friendship. I didn't want to lose you so I said nothing."
"You two are making my teeth ache with all this sweet talk. However I couldn't have picked a better witch for my godson. Now this will take some thinking. Hermione how will your parents react? They're going to have to give you permission if you accept Harry's unorthodox proposal. Both of you are still underage. Once you're married, both of you will be emancipated."
"It will probably take a lot of convincing but I honestly don't see a problem. After all my parents married when they were sixteen and had me five months after their wedding. They would understand, especially Mum."
"But you aren't the one pregnant."
"I know that but I truly want to do this. Mum has known about my feelings for Harry for awhile now. She won't be the problem, Daddy will. After all, I am still his little girl, no matter how much I grow up. It's a male thing, at least that's what Mum told me. So if that was a marriage proposal, Mr. Potter, then my answer is yes."
"It was, Ms. Granger."
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Albus Dumbledore was seated in his office at Hogwarts, deep in thought. Something was going on. He noticed that Sirius and Remus had been noticeably absent from Headquarters lately. Their excuse was they were trying to recruit people to the order, but something just didn't feel right about it. He then turned his thoughts towards Harry. The boy would have to be told soon that he was pregnant and that by law he would have to Bond with Severus. He expected the boy to rant and rave but eventually give in under pressure. Controlling the boy was key to the plan. They needed Harry to kill Voldemort and they needed Harry's money to fund the war effort. Once Severus bonded with Harry, he would have control over the boy's entire estate. The one problem was the child. Albus didn't know if they would allow Harry to carry it to term or simply force him to lose it. Poppy had pointed out that as a magical pregnancy it would not be easy to abort the babe. They would almost have to kill Harry to do it. No, best let the boy carry it to full term. They could decide later what they would do with it. Satisfied with his plans Albus began to put his ideas into action. First Harry needed to be sent to Headquarters.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
A very long discussion with the Grangers finally had them agreeing to allow the two teens to marry. The simple ceremony was held at the Grangers' house. The muggle minister was told that there was a baby involved and being a muggle believed that it was the young lady who was expecting. If he thought that they were too young he didn't voice it aloud. Once the ceremony was done, the entire group went to Gringotts to hear about Harry's inheritance and to finalize the details of their 'vacation'.
Harry wasn't the only one surprised at how much money he had. The Grangers were gobsmacked at the wealth their new son-in-law had. That had been one of their biggest worries. They had even suggested that the young couple move into their home until they could stand on their own two feet, so to speak. Harry was very appreciative of the gesture.
Once he heard how much money, property, and stocks he had he turned to his in-laws and said, laughing, "Perhaps I should ask you two if you want to live with us." He was joined by the others, although Hermione did smack him upside the head. He also learned that no one else could touch his money while he was still alive, even Hermione as his wife. It was a special clause that his parents put in to protect Harry from 'gold diggers'. When he heard that he immediately set up a vault for Hermione, placing about a quarter of his cash in it. When she started to object the goblin in charge told her that Harry's father had done the same for his mother. It was traditional.
"Look at it this way Hermione. You can do whatever you want with it. Buy books to your hearts content and never have to feel guilty about how much it costs. Give some to charity if you want I don't care. You decide what to do with it." He got a kiss as a thank you.
Once their business was complete in Gringotts the group spent the rest of the day shopping in both Diagon Alley and muggle London, before heading to a hotel that Harry was a major share holder in.
Over the next few days Remus and Sirius gathered a few people to help Harry and not tell Dumbledore. They hired a private healer, who was willing to join them in order to deliver Harry's baby. She was also willing to teach both students basic healing and Occlumency. She felt that they needed to learn the last to protect the child later when they returned to the normal world. Sirius' cousin, Nymphadora Tonks, who went by Tonks, agreed to join them and train them in defense. Sirius would help them with potions, while Remus would teach them charms. Both men would teach them transfiguration and how to animagus'. It would be a packed two years. Hermione's parents decided to come along to offer their support where needed and to watch their grandchild while its parents were busy.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The night that Harry and the others went into Potter Castle, several members of the Order of the Phoenix arrived at number 4 Privet Drive to bring back Harry to Headquarters. They were shocked to see Harry's uncle treat them like dirt and, after forcing their way in, could find no trace of the boy. Dumbledore arrived an hour later after he was summoned to the house. A quick sweep of the Dursleys' minds revealed nothing. It looked like Harry Potter had snuck out and run away.
Soon an all out search was being carried out to find the missing savior.
