Chapter 8

Minerva grabbed a over large mug took a long sip of tea in thought. She couldn't believe that her long time friend and co-worker placed a kind loving boy in the hands of such muggles. She had watched them all day as Dumbledore had wished and found out that Lily Potter's claims were true of Vernon Dursely. She had left him at the hands of a abusive family.

Minerva angrily brushed away a fallen tear. "I think we need to face Harry's family. He needs to know about his properties. It's his right because if he claims the Hogwarts deed the power of the school will leave he headmaster."

The half giant looked at the witch in shock. He didn't know that the Potter family held the deed to the legendary school. He smiled at her. "We can help him set things right. He will defeat Vol-Voldemort and set the school straight."

Minerva patted Hagrid on the hand. He was much smarted than what people gave him credit for. She gave him a rare smile and left him to his own thoughts.

Remus and Sirius sat at in the Granger's kitchen. Helen and Sean had left early for work. The Marauders were grateful for the time alone because Hedwig sat on the back of the nearest chair. Sirius started at the letter in front them. He sighed grateful they were in safe place. They had been gone for seven weeks and it was the first letter.

The letter read:

Sirius and Moony ( Moony, I know you're there reading over Sirius's shoulder.)

Hermione and I are safe. She's upset about the lies she was told over the years. The secrets that should have not been kept and the family has been ripped apart because of them. We do not blame you. I was angry about you also keeping things from me. But it died away because of my concern for my wife.

We will tell you were we are at. If you only give you give us your word that this will not be repeated.

Remus and Sirius looked at each other and back at the letter. They noticed that location was blank. They smiled at each other. It wasn't going to be relieved without them giving their oath. They nodded in agreement. "Give you our oath it will not be repeated." They said together and watched the location slowly relieve it's self.

It read:

Potter Cottage.

The letter busted up flames. Remus waved his wand and the ashes vanished from the table. "Smart move Pup." said the Lycan and put is wand away. "Smart move in deed. Should we go and visit them?"

Sirius sat back in thought. He knew that Harry wouldn't have sent a letter if he wished for them not to come. He rubbed his hands over his face and whispered, "They know." Remus looked at his friend and nodded. "Let's get packed."

The two Marauders left the kitchen and went upstairs to get packed. Sirius left Helen and Sean a note not worry that they mostly would be back in a few days. Hedwig hooted at Remus after he told her they were on their way to Potter Cottage. The couple walked outside to the back yard and were gone with a faint pop.

~*~

Hermione sat on the back porch lost in thought. She couldn't believe that she was pregnant. She knew that she wanted a family with Harry but not so soon. They hadn't even graduated from Hogwarts. She was nearly eighteen and Harry wasn't even seventeen. He had brought up about having abortion. They couldn't bare to end a life they had created out of their love for each other.

Sirius and Remus appeared in front of Potter Cottage. They smiled weakly it had be many years since they were at the winery. Nothing had changed since that time frame. They looked around and saw Harry flying around the house. The Marauders sighed heavily. They knew he was worried just by the way he moved around in the air.

"Come on Moony. They're in the backyard." Sirius told him. He nodded and walked around the house.

Remus walked up the steps and onto the porch. He quietly sat down in the chair next to Hermione. She turned her head and smiled at her once time professor and now friend. He got up and pulled her into his arms. He felt her body stiffen but slowly relaxed and rubbed soothing circles on her back.

"I know this must be extremely hard on you. Don't worry we'll help you all the way through this." whispered Remus. "We love you very much."

"I'm pregnant." Hermione whispered in the crook of his neck.

"It's alright." He said gently and saw Harry land on the ground.

Sirius and Harry walked through the rows of grapes sharing a heart to heart. Harry told him about Hermione being pregnant. He knew it would come soon. Sirius rubbed the back of his neck. He wanted to tell him the reason behind Hermione being pregnant.

"Sirius what are you hiding from me?" Harry asked knowing when he rubbed his neck that he was keeping something from him.

He nodded his head. He took a deep breath. "It's an evil plot." he started and continued on with story. "He's been controlling you Harry."

He looked at his godfather in shock. Dumbledore's plot for his wife to hand over his son just to take his magic. Then he wasn't suppose to leave the wizarding world for the muggle world. Remus was his second godfather. Harry only nodded his head and let the information sink into his brain.

He squeezed Sirius's shoulder. "Thank you for telling me. But I know it wasn't the potion that made want to be with Hermione that night. It was because I wanted to be with her. I love her so much and our son will not be taken away from us. I will die before he takes him." Sirius nodded and they went over to the porch.

The trio sat in silence wrapped up in their own thoughts. Harry pulled Hermione into his lap and held her close. "I must get to my parent's will. I want to know what information it contains. I just hope Dumbledore hasn't weaseled his way into the Potter vault and will. He has already controlled too much of my life. My son will not meet the same fate. I will end this war before he enters this world."

Remus could tell Harry would in deed end the war before his son was born. It was in his emerald eyes. He would see no harm to come to his family. Even though the other members had lied. They were still family and Harry didn't want to loose anymore family members because of war.

Hermione stood in the bathroom in front of a full length mirror nude. Her hair still wet from her shower and water drops fell from the curves of her body. She rest her hands on her flat stomach where her son was stuck away safely. She looked down and a tear fell down her cheek.

Harry walked up from behind and wrapped his arms around her waist and rested his hands on her stomach. "I will not let anything happen to our son. I promise, love." He let his hands roam her wet body and took his left hand and lower his flannel pants. "I love you and I'll protect you." He lifted her up onto the bathroom counter.

Hermione arched her back at Harry's touches. She grabbed his hardened member and lead him where she so wanted him to be. Inside her. He entered her wet core in one thrust. She moaned inside his mouth.

~*~

Sirius and Remus sat in the living room on the couch watching a movie when they heard a moan from the back of the house. The Marauders looked at each other and smiled. At lest they loved each other that's all they cared about.

Sirius opened his arms and Remus slid into the embrace. He ran his fingers through Remus's sandy gray streaked hair. They had their own secret. They had been together since they were sixteen. And when Sirius was sent to Azkaban on a false charge it broke Remus and he waited for years praying for him to be released. Than he finally got him back during Harry's third year and than nearly lost him in the Department of Mysteries if Harry hadn't told him to duck and move away from the veil. Sirius would have never made it out alive. Than now with Voldemort after him because he's Harry's godfather had him worried.

Sirius looked down at Remus and saw his worried expression. "It's alright. I won't let anything happen to you." He told him running his fingers through Remus's hair again.

"I'm worried about you. I always worry about you." he whispered into his chest.

"You worry too much Remy and you know it." he kissed his forehead and pulled a nearby blanket over his lover's thin frame. He pulled him closer.

Sirius knew Remus was a gentle tender hearted man that needed protecting, but he was protective when it called for it. But he was mainly a gentle soul. That was what drew Sirius to Remus in the first place all those years ago.

Three hours later…

Harry and Hermione walked into the living room and found Remus in Sirius arms fast asleep. Sirius's head rested on a pillow asleep with a soft smile on his face. Hermione smiled gently at the couple. She turned off the T.V. and turned out the lights. Harry took Hermione's hand and they went down the hall to bed.

"I'm truly not surprised about them being a couple." Harry told his wife pulling her into his arms. The signs were all there." Hermione nodded sleepily in agreement. "Good night, my love."

"Good night Harry." Hermione whispered and snuggled deep into his chest.

Sunny popped into the master bedroom and carefully laid out black dress robes and a black traveling cloak that had the Potter family crest over the heart. She was gone with a crack. She knew that her master was heading to town to hopefully listen to his parents will.

Harry stepped out of the bathroom after having a nice hot shower. He looked on the bed and saw his dress robes. He smiled and gently ran his fingers over the fabric. It was soft as slick but was made from cotton. Sunny informed her new masters that she made all the families dress robes for many years. He couldn't tell her 'no' he didn't have the heart. The robes were masterpieces of art compared to the robes he got in Diagon Alley.

Harry sighed and slipped on the robes. He grabbed his black boots that Tipsy had made him. He check the right side of his right boot and saw a gold handle. He pulled it out from the boot. It was small gold dagger. Tipsy informed him it was just incase if he lost his wand or wasn't able to draw his wand quick enough he had some form of protection. The house elf told Harry that Hermione had one as well. He slipped the dagger back into the holster and put on his boots.

He walked over to the mirror and tried to flatten down his messy black hair. He rolled his eyes it would never lay flat but it was always worth a shot for Harry Potter. He knew he held strong to his father's looks so he had his eyes fitted for magical contacts. He had gotten tired of his glasses and wanted a nice change. So he'd be Harry and reminded of his father. Hermione and the Marauders found it a wonderful idea.

He asked Sunny if their was a local eye doctor he could go to for a check up and to his surprise the family had a house elf that was medically trained. Wayne Potter found it useful to have a trained house elf for the family's medical needs. He being a doctor had trained the house elf himself. Harry knew then that the family trusted their house elves admissibly. Harry found it very useful. Hermione was shocked and pleased all at the same time. The family treated them all as equals and saw them as part of the family.

Hermione walked into the bedroom and smiled at her husband. She gave him a gentle passionate kiss. Harry deepened the kissed and buried his hands in her slick chestnut curls. He pulled back and rested his forehead against hers and gently rubbed her still flat stomach. He crest her lips with his own and pulled back.

"You look enchanting my dear Mrs. Potter." He told her looking at her dress robes.

Hermione's robes were a dark navy blue that formed to her womanly curves. The sleeve belled out at her wrist and they flared out at the bottom. She wore the right amount of makeup that enhanced her facial features. Especially her brown eyes. She had her hair halfway pulled back into a twist while the rest was down stopping in the middle of her back. She wore a pair of diamond hopped earrings and diamond phoenix that hung from a sliver chain.

Sunny had taken them from the small family vault in the cottage. It was secretly hidden in the wall of the house. It was were they kept a small amount of jewels.

Sunny popped into the master bedroom. "Oh sorry Master Potter. I'm disturbing you. Here is Mistress Potter travel cloak." and handed it to Harry.

"Thank you Sunny. Are Sirius and Remus ready?" he asked taking the cloak from the house elf.

Sunny nodded causing her ears to flop. "Yes sir. I wish you luck sir." Hermione smiled and Sunny was gone with a crack.

Harry threw the cloak over Hermione's shoulders and clasped the sliver phoenix to hold the cloak in place. He put his own clasping the sliver phoenix.

"Let's get Sirius and Remus and get this matter settled." Harry told his wife taking her hand and left the room.

~*~

Hermione smiled at the men before them. Sunny had insisted on making Remus and Sirius clothes from wizarding robes too muggle clothes. Just as she did for her master and mistress.

Remus no longer wore his shabby wizard robes. He wore black robes that fit his body shape perfectly. He had travel cloak with the Potter crest over his heart. Since Harry had claimed him a member of the Potter family. He had his hair comb back let his bangs hang loosely in his face. Pops, the medi house elf had magically removed Remus's scars from his face that made him look ten years younger.

Sirius wore black dress robes and a black travel cloak just like Remus. He had claimed Sirius member of the Potter family. They both wore house elf made boots with a dagger located on the right side of the right boot. Harry wanted his family protected.

"You both look very handsome." Hermione said with a smile.

"You look every lovely my dear." Sirius said causing her to blush slightly.

"Let's get this over with." Harry told them and all departed to the Leaky Cauldron.

~*~

The Potter family walked into the crowed pub. Tom, the bartender asked if Sirius and Remus wanted a drink. Harry told him kindly that they had matters to attend to in Diagon Alley. Tom noticed the Potter family crest on all four of them. He nodded and smirked at Harry and gave him a strong nodded. He knew the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was in for a rude awaking.

Harry tapped the third brick from the left a dustbin and the archway to Diagon Alley appeared. They walked through into the busy street. People stopped and watched the group walk down the street wondering what had brought them to Diagon Alley.

Hermione groaned when she saw her Uncle Severus leave the Apothecary. She didn't want to see him or talk to him. She just wanted to ignore him and act like nothing had changed because to her he was still her bastard potions professor.

"Harry look." Hermione said motioning to the store. "I don't want to talk to him. Please."

He kissed her hand and they quickly walked down the street. Remus looked at Severus and saw him sigh in relief when he saw she was safe along with Harry. He nodded and left Diagon Alley. Remus quickly caught up with rest of the family.

Harry opened the burnished door for his wife. She smiled and walked into the building followed by Harry, Sirius and Remus. The goblins stopped their work and watched them walk up the counter.

"Harry Potter, wishing to hear the will of James and Lily Potter." Harry told Griphook.

"The Potter Will." The goblin said in a mild state of shock. "Very well. I'm afraid that Miss Granger, Mr. Black and Mr. Lupin will not be able to hear..."

Harry raised his hand and the goblin stopped talking. "They are a member of the Potter family. My wife Hermione Potter and my two godfathers, Sirius Black the Noble House of Black and the Noble House Potter. Remus Lupin the Noble House Potter will be present." he told him with no room to deny the young wizard.

"Yes sir. I must contact Albus Dumbledore before the will to be read." Griphook informed him.

"Oh give me a break." Hermione groaned when she saw Lucius Malfoy enter the bank. "Can't they get a damn clue to just leave me alone."

Luicus walked up to Hermione support of his cane. Hermione's brow frowned somewhat when she realized that the cane wasn't to show off his money but support to walk. "Hermione dear girl you're safe. Helen told me that you were safe but I'm glad to see it for myself. You as well Harry."

"What can I do for you Mr. Malfoy?" Hermione hissed at her godfather. "I'm quite busy at the moment."

The couple didn't notice that Griphook had left the counter and returned with the Potter's head chief goblin. "Mr. Potter." Harry turned away from Lucius. "This is Tipton he's been your family's accountant for many years."

"Ah and see you have brought your adviser, Mr. Malfoy. He was here to witness the will's creation." Griphook told him.

Harry turned to the man and narrowed his emerald eyes. "Adviser." he hissed. "You were my parents adviser." Luicus nodded.

"It will make it easier if he was present sir." Tipton told Harry. "Ah here is Professor Dumbledore."

Lucius stepped in front of Hermione blocking any type of contact with his goddaughter. "Albus it is always a pleasure to see you."

Albus's blue eyes twinkled at the man. He looked and noticed Lucius supporting more weight on his cane. He smirked. He had caused the injury to his left leg many years ago. It was during Voldemort's first rein. It was slowly worsening over the years.

Lucius narrowed his eyes at the elderly wizard. He knew he was silently congratulating himself for his injury. "Let's get this over with Mr. Tipton. I shall be present as James and Lily wished.

"Please follow me." said the goblin and he led the group from the main lobby.

~*~

Harry helped Hermione into a chair and he sat down beside his wife. Luicus sat next to Tipton and the others joined them at the long table.

"The will of James and Lily Potter has been read once before." The goblin informed them.

"Read before." hissed Luicus. "There is no possible way. I was the only one that has seen the last will in testament." He turned and looked at Dumbledore. "How did you get access to the Will? You are not Mr. Potter's magical guardian or a family member."

"I have no idea what you are talking about Luicus." he said in a fatherly tone.

Lucius stood up and quickly had the headmaster against the wall with his wand pointed at his throat. He narrowed his eyes and hissed, "You have no right to James and Lily." He dug it deeper and he leaned over to his ear and whispered, "I know your secret Dumbledore and you will get what's coming to you. I promise you." Luicus stepped back and straighten his robes and returned to his seat as if nothing had happened.
