AN: Readers I have noticed that in away this seems a little one sided. But it will lead to Harry in this chapter. I wanted to spilt the concerns to the couple in half. And show the differences between the abuse and what actions they will take against Dumbledore.
Chapter 6
Harry twisted a strain of his wife's hair between his fingers. He looked down and smiled. They found the Ancient Ones had bless them for a reason and didn't want to think it was because of Voldemort. But the reason because their souls had finally found each other before the evil could rip them apart. Again. Harry and Hermione accpected the marriage because they had been friends for over six years and loved each other more than anyone could fathom.
Hermione moved her head and laid down on his chest. Harry wrapped his strong arms around his wife's slender waist and kissed her bare shoulder. They were surprised that her parents or Sirius hadn't come and checked in on them. They knew it was summer break and Helen and Sean let them sleep in until it was eleven at the latest. Harry turned his head to left and looked at the clock 11:20 A.M.
"Come on love let's get a shower than head downstairs. We have to tell them about the soul bonding." Harry whispered and kissed her forehead. She nodded and they got out of the bed and went to the bathroom for a nice hot shower.

Severus and Helen returned to the table and she summoned more tea and it landed neatly on the table. They all sat in silence. Narcissa took a long sip of her tea and sat her cup down on the table.
"Harry has been through too much. The will of Lily and James Potter has been ignored for too long. He was to go to Sirius. If something was to happen to him Harry was to go to Remus. If something was to happen him Harry was to Severus or go to Lucius and I but, he was not to go to the Durselys. Lily knew that Vernon was the abusive type of man." Narcissa hissed. "He was to remain in wizarding world and not go to the muggle world. Luicus was there when they made out the damn will!"
"Easy dearest." Lucius said gently taking his wife's hand. He didn't need her becoming too upset. She was a nearly eleven weeks pregnant. "Relax. We'll help Harry and Hermione. He is now apart of our family. Just as we all hoped for. He loves Hermione with his very soul. It isn't because for Voldemort's downfall." Luicus told them narrowing his eyes at Severus.
The family's main target besides the Dark Lord was Dumbledore and Harry's safety and that of his unborn child and Hermione. They had to catch the old fool in an criminal act to truly hold him in prison. They could only go so far on the abuse charge. It was death eaters words against the all powerful Albus Dumbledore. The will was locked up under guard at the Wizard Bank and only Harry could get the will, but he'd have to be of age of seventeen. That is if Dumbledore hadn't weaseled his way into the Potter family vault.
Draco looked at his father and godfather with a raised brow. He knew he'd have to tell Hermione that they were related. He had hurt her over the years. He never wanted to that but it was the only way to protect her and Harry. He wished he was able to get to him before the Weasel, but he failed and secretly blamed himself for it.
Helen ran her fingers gently through Draco's blonde hair and he slowly relaxed. She could tell it weighed heavily on his shoulders. "It's alright sweetheart." whispered Helen and he nodded.
Sirius stared out the window trying to think of away to gently break the news to his godson. He knew Harry and Hermione would find this a shock. Hermione's mother being a witch and her being Severus sister and Lucius niece. It was going to be along day.

Harry slipped on a pair of deep pair of jeans with a blue t shirt. He tried to flatten down his messy black hair. He shook his head it was useless it would never lay flat.
Hermione walked into the room wrapped up in a towel. She ran her fingers through his hair making it to stick up even more. "I like it that way." She told him and slipped into a pair of fitted jeans and a tank top. She pulled her hair back.
"I have an idea love. Come here." Harry told her. She walked over to him. "I'm able to do magic outside of school since my now seen as an adult." He removed the Potter family ring from her right hand. He ran his thumb over it and whispered, "Portus to Gryffindor Castle," and a yellow light shined and quickly vanished. He slid it back onto her right hand and did the same to his ring. "It's a portkey to Gryffindor Castle. I want you safe. Just say Gryffindor Castle and remove the ring." he told her and kissed her forehead. He lifted his arm Fawkes come," and the phoenix flew onto his arm and they left the bedroom.

Harry saw Lucius Malfoy at the table and quickly drew his wand. He lifted his hand and the death eater floated over to him. "Now, what brings you here Malfoy? It better be good." He told him forgetting about the information that the letter held from his father, because his main concern was the safety of his family. "Well?"
Hermione rested her hand on her husband's shoulder and said, "Love, remember James said to trust the Malfoy family." Harry slowly lowered the man to his feet.
"Old habits die hard. I'm sorry Mr. Malfoy." Harry said and took Hermione's hand and walked into the kitchen. "Why is everyone here? What has happened?"
Hermione leaned against the wall and crossed her arms. Harry fixed Hermione a cup of coffee and one for himself. He stood next to her leaning against the wall. They both stared the people at the table. Fawkes flew over to the window and let out a soft melody that relaxed everyone.
"You might want to sit down dears." Narcissa told the couple. "We have much to talk about."
Harry pulled up two stools from the counter and they sat down. He took Hermione's hand and ran his thumb over the diamond wedding band. It sent sparkles across the room. Sirius saw the Potters' family rings on their right hands and wedding bands. He smiled gently at the couple.
"Now for starters we all know about the Soul Bounding. We have no problems with it. We are actually happy that the Ancient Ones saw it a blessing to join you two." Helen told the couple. Harry smiled at his mother-in-law and Sean nodded in agreement. "But theirs more. It concerns the family."
Hermione's brow frowned at the news. She thought something was wrong, because of Snape and the Malfoys' being at her house. "Has something happened?"
Severus rubbed his forehead with his thumb and index finger. He could feel a migraine forming. He had them since he was a child. "No everything's well as they can be at the moment." Hermione's brow frond even more. "Hermione," he looked at his niece, "Helen and I are related." he raised his hand before she could interrupt. "She's my sister and you are my niece and, Helen is a full blood witch." Hermione shook her head in disbelief. "Lucius is you're great uncle and godfather. You are a half blood."
Hermione's world went black. Harry quickly caught her before she hit the floor. He slowly eased them to the floor and rested her head in his lap. "You call that breaking to her gently, Snape? You've all lied to her!" Harry hissed dangerously. "What kind of family are you?"
"One that's trying to protect her Potter!" Draco hissed back at his newly found cousin.
"Stop it. Fighting will get us nowhere Draco." Narcissa told her son gently.
Harry turned his attention back to his wife. He took her hair down and gently ran his fingers through her soft slick curls. He watched her slowly open her eyes and he sighed in relief. "Are alright?"
Hermione shook her head and threw her arms around her husband's neck. Harry wrapped his arms round her and let her cry out her pain. She didn't want to look at the people at the table. Harry saw Sean move from the table. He waved his hand and he was back in his chair. He placed a barer around him and Hermione. He narrowed his eyes at the family and turned back to his wife. He pulled her into his lap and held her close. He could feel her pain coming off of her onto him and it broke his heart. He felt betrayed, lonely, and broken. Harry closed his eyes and rocked her side to side.
Helen let her own tears fall and realized she should have told Hermione years ago. She thought it was the right thing to do. But it turned out Sean was correct about telling her years ago. She was just too subborn and let her pride get in the way.
"Hermione I'm so sorry. I should have told you years ago. I thought I was doing the right thing. Severus, Luicus and Draco are spies. I didn't want you in more danger than what you are. Please sweetheart. We all thought it was for the best. We just want to protect you."
"That's my job. Not yours!" hissed Harry. "It has been for thousands of years. For each time I came to earth. It's mine!" Helen jumped at his sudden out burst of power that surrounded him and Hermione. Fawkes flew over to his master and land on his shoulder and cocked and nuzzled his neck.
"You failed each time Potter."
Harry quickly had Draco pinned against the wall before anyone could blink. He slammed the blonde hard knocking the breath from his body. "Give me a reason not to kill you. I beg you. Dad said to trust your coward of a family. You all are cowards! Lying cowards be careful who you anger Malfoy or could be the last thing you do." Harry lifted him an inch from the floor and dropped him hard and felt an hand on his shoulder. He turned to find Hermione. "Think about the pain you caused your daughter Mr. and Mrs. Granger. How would you react if someone lied to you for nearly eighteen years?" Harry asked and gently took Hermione into his arms and vanished from the house.
Helen stared at the spot were the couple had vanished from and the tears flowed down her cheeks. Narcissa brushed away her own tears. Harry had let them all see the pain they inflected on the young woman.
"Someone go find them! They'll be in danger!" Sean snapped worryingly.
"No leave them." Sirius told him. "They're safe. I promise. I know my godson. Just let him help her. He's right. It's his job to protect her. No one else's job."
Helen quietly went to her bedroom to have her cry out. Narcissa not far behind. The men remained in the kitchen lost in their own thoughts. They all had done something beyond repair. Only Hermione and Harry could slowly mend the broken family.
