A/N 1: Read the content guide and Book I to see how everything went until they came at Hogwarts.
September 2007 – a new school year
As usual for the Harris' family, everything was chaos. Five children that needed to be washed, dressed and prepared to join in for breakfast.
William, now 6 years old, wanted to do everything himself while Harry and Draco followed William's example. Angel chuckled when he saw how his three sons were dressed. Only William had managed to dress normally, if you looked past the shirt being inside out. Shoes were laced and his oldest was ready to go join the rest of family for breakfast.
Xander walked into the bedroom and quickly changed Harry and Draco's clothes and helped them put on their shoes. He turned around to see his husband standing in the doorway with Nicky and Lily hanging on his hands.
"Are we ready to have breakfast?" Xander asked patiently while all his little ones were bouncing to go.
"Yeah!" five small voices piped up.
After breakfast the family met with Ethan and Severus in their dungeons before class. "We have something to tell you," Severus said happily.
"I have asked Severus to bond with me and he has accepted," Ethan said proudly before kissing his lover deeply in front of his family.
"That's great!" Xander exclaimed and congratulated the couple. Angel followed soon after while the children looked at the adults with a look of confusion on their faces.
"Bowding?" Nicky questioned.
"It's like getting married," Severus explained and saw the confusion leave at least three faces. Nicky however was too young to completely understand it.
"Oh, okay," Nicky answered while shrugging his shoulders. He looked around the room and saw many new things, he hadn't seen before. But before he toddled over to those interesting items, he was lifted into the air, away from his goal.
"Again, congratulations to you both and we'll talk further after classes, okay?" Angel suggested and walked his children to their classes. When they stood in the hallway, they heard loud laughter, only to be recognized as the Weasley children.
"William, will you join us in our class?" Fred and George asked in unison.
William, who didn't know, looked at his father, who nodded. "Yes, I will," William answered and joined his friends in their new class.
Draco and Harry were about to follow when the door closed. "Daddy, why is William in there? Isn't he going to join us?" Draco asked sadly.
"William has reached an age that allows him to go a class higher. You will join him when you turn six years old as well," Xander answered.
"But William isn't 6 yet," Harry remarked thoughtfully.
"He will be in two months, so we agreed to let him enter the new class," Angel answered, before he pushed two unhappy boys to their class. They never went anywhere without their older brother.
"Nicky and Lily are going to join you and I need you two to look after them, make sure they don't fall behind, okay?" Xander suggested as he noticed the unhappy faces.
"Okay, daddy," Draco answered and took Nicky's hand in his and walked towards their class.
Harry did the same to Lily and when they entered the class they spotted their friend, Ron sitting on one of the chairs.
Xander and Angel watched them settle in before closing the classroom door. Xander walked Angel towards his classroom and kissed him deeply in front of the students. "Good luck," Xander whispered, leaving a goofy smiling Angel behind.
"Ethan, what are you doing? It's in the afternoon," Severus asked when he returned from teaching sixth year Gryffindors as he watched the man turn on music, lit lots of candles before leading them to the middle of their living room.
"I'm going to dance with the man I love," Ethan replied before taking the black haired man in his arms. He shuffled on the music while tightening his hold on his lover.
Something clicked in Severus' mind as he remembered Ethan's words after having their favourite discussion. "Now?"
Ethan smiled and nodded before dipping the now giggling man and kissing him deeply. The dance forgotten, the two headed towards the bedroom where more candles were lit. Eager hands groped and undressed until they stood naked in front of each other. Severus reached out to the nightstand, downed the potion quickly and turned around.
Ethan watched him carefully, just to make sure his love didn't receive any pain from the potion before he kissed the thin lips deeply. He demanded entrance and chuckled when Severus opened his mouth and their tongues duelled.
Ethan pressed Severus towards the bed and gently pushed him on his back before straddling the body beneath him. He made love to his lover all night long.
November 2007
The bonding was in the Great Hall with their family. Angel and Xander sat in front with their five children, while the Weasleys sat in the back with their 7 loud children. Oz, Richard, and Liza had arrived as well and were seated next to Xander. Liza was sitting next to William while holding his hand. That had caused every adult to smile, especially when William blushed bright red.
Giles and Cordelia sat behind Xander and Angel while Gunn and Wesley sat behind Richard and Oz, looking suspiciously over Oz's shoulder to the werewolf's bump.
As Albus started the bonding, it was a surprise when every child became silent. Severus looked at his mate and stared into his eyes as Ethan did the same. They barely heard Albus' words before they said the words 'yes, I do'. Then they were kissing, not seeing the red glow surrounding them until Severus screamed out from pain.
Ethan looked at Albus, who nodded his head before Ethan focused on the dark mark on his mate's arm. He placed his hand over it and fed the mark as much love as he felt for Severus. The Potions Professor sagged against Ethan before he was carried away from the Great Hall to their private rooms.
Ethan placed the man on the bed and waited for Severus to wake up. While waiting he took a careful look at Severus' arm only to see that the dark mark had vanished and the head of a Peregrine had replaced it. He smiled proudly and moaned when he suddenly was kissed.
"Did it work?" Severus asked worriedly. He was too scared to look even though he had felt something snap inside his body. The Potions master felt relieved like a burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
"Look at your arm," Ethan softly instructed.
"You replaced it…" Severus said awed. He hugged Ethan and together they lay on the bed, enjoying each other's bodies before they both fell into a deep sleep.
"What just happened? Is Severus all right?" many voices rang out panicked.
"Calm down. Severus is fine. Before the bonding, Severus had requested to find a way to remove the dark mark and as you have seen by the red glow, it seemed to have worked," Albus explained. "We'll hear it soon enough when those two return from their rooms."
"If they're going to enjoy their honeymoon like Angel and I did, then we'll have to wait a few days," Xander deadpanned. "But that would give us time to chat up with friends we haven't seen for quiet a while."
At the ending of those words, they all looked at Richard and Oz, who smiled while Oz petted his stomach.
"Let's get to our place, it's time for us to catch up on things," Angel suggested and stood up, children crowding him as they walked towards their home.
Richard and Oz sat snuggled on the couch with William and Liza sitting next to them. William wanted to sit with Fred and George but Liza wouldn't let go of his hand.
"William, why don't you introduce Liza to your friends?" Giles suggested, seeing his grandson's animosity. The boy smiled at him before he stood up and quickly ran towards his friends with Liza hot on his tail.
Oz chuckled; the girl had missed her friend desperately. "We hoped to stay here until our baby is born. We have talked to Albus about Liza joining the classes and he has agreed," Richard explained while stroking his lover's belly.
"When are you due?" Cordelia asked curiously. She looked at Giles and he nodded. "I'm due in March next year."
Oz laughed at the sudden announcement which had Xander jumping up and down from joy, when he realised he would be a big brother. His sons and daughter joined in the jumping, not knowing the excitement until Xander explained.
"I'm due in February," Oz answered proudly as Richard continued petting his belly.
"So, two more children will be added to our family," Angel said to all.
"Perhaps more if Ethan gets his way," Xander answered and chuckled at the surprised faces of his friends.
"I'm curious how large our family will be when William starts Hogwarts," Angel mentioned more to himself than anyone else.
