"Are we to walk all the way there, Father?" Harry laughed, shifting the bag that held the two bottles of Strawberry wine and one bottle of Firewhisky.
"No, no I'm going to summon a Thresal." He did as he said he would. "Thresals are wonderful creatures. They are invisible to anyone, excepted those who have seen someone die. They eat meat, they are summoned by the blood of the meat. They are very strong and extremely smart. If you ever need to get somewhere and don't know where it is, summon one of these guys."
"They look kind of dead looking." Lillian said as one came to Harry.
"I can't see them." Teddy frowned. "Good." Both Harry and Lillian said at the same time.
"Will you take us to the front door, friend?" Harry asked the Thresal, giving it a chunk of bloody meat. Harry put Lillian on first, then Teddy and then jumped on himself. The Thresal galloped towards the front of Hogwarts, Teddy buried his face into Lillian's shoulder blade and wrapped his arms around her tightly. "It's okay, Teddy, we have you." Harry shouted.
"It would have been better if I could see the thing under me." Teddy said shaken up. "I'm good. I'm okay." They walked in, up to the Great Hall. Harry put his hand on the door handle and suddenly got nervous.
"Come on, dad. They are waiting for us." Lillian said with a big blinding smile. Harry opened the doors to the Great Hall. There were two head tables, the first table was up one step this table held ten chairs, but only six places were filled. The second table was eleven. Harry scanned the second table, Binns, Flitwick, Hooch, Slughorn, Nobody, Severus Snape, McGonagall, Charlie, Pomfrey, Sprout, and Trelawney. Then he scanned the first table, Wood sat in front of Hooch, Draco sat in front of Slughorn, Hermione sat in front of McGonagall, Ginny sat in front of Pomfrey, Neville in front of Sprout and Luna in front of Trelawney.
Draco jumped up and was chased by Luna, who was chased by Neville around the head tables, they were five feet in front of Harry, Teddy and Lillian, before Draco noticed them, he suddenly stopped causing Luna to run into him, and Neville took them to the ground. The Hogwarts bell ran out twelve loud gongs, nobody moved or said anything. Lillian gave Harry a little push and hid behind Teddy, who stood behind him. Hogwarts sent a wave of magic to him, welcoming him home. He tilted his head back and closed his eyes as the magic swirled around him lifting him off the ground slightly, then put him back down. Draco stood up.
"Welcome home, Harry." He held out his hand, Harry took it in his.
"Harry." Luna said and hugged him, tightly. She had filled out nicely.
"Luna, you look stunning." Harry kissed her hand.
"Come on Harry, stop trying to steal my wife." Neville grinned at him, pulling Harry into a hug. They moved to the head tables.
"You know I don't swing that way, Neville." Neville blushed a darker red than the red on his Gryffindor tie.
"Are you hiding something from us, Neville?" Draco asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Only from you." Luna said moving to her husband's side. "Harry told me everything that happened in the Gryffindor Tower."
"You didn't! Harry!"
"I was shocked to see the pictures after some of those parties you Gyffindores threw." Luna giggled. "I thought the Slytherin parties Theo invited to were something to brag about, but after seeing those pictures, I have to say Gryffindores blew them out the water."
"No way. We had the best." Draco challenged. Harry pulled out a little red velvet book and passed it to him, Neville moaned out 'Not that book'. Draco opened it. "No way." He repeated as Neville in the picture climbed on to a table with a bottle of Firewhisky in one hand and started stripping with the other, there were six kegs and a large table full of bottles of Firewhisky in the background. "How did you get all that alcohol in to your dorm?" he asked, all the teachers were looking at him, shock written all over their faces.
"Fred and George got the stuff, the rest of the house used concealment charms on the bottles, the kegs we flew through the window under my invisibility cloak, Ginny and Ron stole hangover potions from Snape's store. Hermione put some impressive sound barriers up." Severus sent Ginny a death glare.
"Wait, YOU and THEODORE NOTT?" Draco asked, dumbfounded.
"Got a thing for bad boys." She shrugged.
Draco flipped through some pages. "Whoa, you and Blaise, Harry?" Draco asked staring at his dark skinned Italian friend and the boy wonder grind on each other. Harry wore a pair of draw stringed leather pants which the strings had come loose, Harry wasn't wearing anything under them. Blaise mouthed something to Harry who grinned at him, grabbed Blaise's ass and downed the bottle he has holding and walked to the stairs to the boy's dormitories. Off to the side of the picture were the words: 'Be my bad boy, be my man, be weekend lover , but don't be my friend.'
"I remember that, kind of." Neville said out loud. "I don't remember how the other four of us ended up on your bed as well." The teachers looked horrified at the two of them.
"That's right, back in fourth year. Blaise walked around with a limp for about two weeks." Draco stated. Then it hit him. "He bottomed. That's rich, he always complained about how no one wanted to let him bottom, then after that he never complained about it again."
"I remember that too." Severus said. "He came to me asking for a pain potion and numbing slaves…" he trailed off, looking at Harry, who was now flaming red, looking intently at the ground. Teddy and Lillian ran to his sides, when the doors opened and Bane and four other centaurs came in, weapons in hand, ready to fight.
"The trees sent wind of your presents, Harry Potter." Bane said, bowing to Harry, then looked at the children at his side. "and the two abominations by your side. Spawn of Greyback, give them to us" Harry drew his wand, put it at the ready and wandlessly transfigured the house tables into four large snakes and the benches into six smaller snakes with a wave of his hand.
"It would be a fool's idea to take my children, Bane." He snorted. "Luna, take Lillian and Teddy." Harry told her without taking his eyes off of the centaurs.
"They are evil." Bane stated.
"They are children. They have done nothing wrong." Harry hissed at him.
"Yet. They are werewolves. Werewolves are evil, Harry Potter." Bane tried to reason.
"Not all of them. Remus Lupin fought against Greyback to protect the innocent, his son is Teddy Lupin-Potter-Black, my godson, he is half werewolf. My daughter, Lillian Potter-Black was bitten when she was two, then abandoned, until three days ago. Her pack is Teddy and I."
"She could turn evil."
"Anyone of any race can turn evil." Hogwarts vibrated in anger.
"Mars is shining, Harry Potter. Greyback is changing and eating at will."
"Bane, you are not the only one who knows these things. I can feel them, their pain as they die. You don't hear the pleads to be spared or the crying loved ones. You don't have to have the guilt placed upon you as they cross over and to think you could be there to save them." A dark mist formed around Harry. The white part of Harry's eyes turned black and his emerald eye glowed with anger.
"Please don't kill me." "Don't die, please, daddy, don't die!" "Take me instead…" "Somebody help me!" "Stay away from us." "Please not my baby, not my darling." "She was only six. Too young to die." "I will not have a daughter that is a werewolf. Get rid of her." Overwhelming guilt, sorrow and pain overcame them as the sobs and pleas from different people continued.
"What was that?" one of the centaurs asked after the black mist dissipated.
"That is my burden." Harry said, his body shaking. "I've carried it since I was a year old. It is Death's Burden. Anyone of you hurt my godson or my daughter any time, I promise I will kill you. "
"Fine then. Then when she changes sides it will be you who kill her." Harry cased a wordless spell that hit Bane in the chest, the spell sent him flying back howling in pain, he tried to get up as Harry descended upon them, but was unable to. One of the centaurs with a bow fired a shot which burned to ash before it got ten feet in front of Harry, the air got hot and hostile. From out of nowhere Lillian wrapped her arms around his leg.
"Stop it, your scaring me." She cried into his leg. Harry looked down at her and smiled, the air turned back to how it was, the tables and benches turned back to tables and benches, but Harry's eyes stayed the same. Teddy ran to them as Harry picked Lillian up. "I will fight with the one daddy and Teddy fight with." She told Bane, her green eyes were gold.
"There is your answer, Bane. Now leave or will I have to force you to leave?" Bane huffed and turned to leave.
"We do not need another Dark Lord, Harry Potter." He told Harry.
"As long as I have my children, I won't be going dark and if there are any more up and coming, I will be there to take them down. You can count on that."
"We will be." Bane told him and left, the others following him.
Harry turned to the others. "Friends and Professors, these are my children, Teddy Lupin-Potter-Black and Lillian Potter-Black. If I am to take this job, they will be here with me." Severus nodded, the children beamed at him.
"I'll show Harry his rooms." Luna said dragging Harry and his children out the hall, while Draco gave the little red book to Severus and McGonagall, their faces grew more horrified with turned page.
"You know they're going to lecture us after they catch us." Harry told her, she nodded. "I can't believe the ferret gave Snape that book. Damn it!"
"It's past history, Harry." She looked at his face. "Unless you've added something recently." His face was flaming red.
"It has my drawings in it, you know the ones." Yes, she did know, his personal drawings, some were quite explicit. "I was just showing him the party pictures and he hands it to Snape. That's just great."
Later that day,
Severus placed the little red book on the edge of his desk, going to give it back to Potter as soon as he could. Two owls landed on his desk on white one brown, the brown one attacked the white bird, causing it to run into the book and knock it on the floor.
Severus took what the owls had to offer and sent them away and picked up the book as he did so a thin leather book fell out of a hidden pocket. Curiosity got the better of him and he opened it. There were hand drawn pictures, different males, in different poses, some had a single person in it, some had two and some had three, all wore close to nothing erotic clothing or nothing at all.
He flipped a few pages and came to blanks then to random males having sex, different positions, places, and objects. Harry seemed fond of the handcuffs, the blindfold and the cat-of-nine tails, which the handle was in the shape a dick, Severus thought, one or all of them were in all of the pictures. He then flipped a few more found more blanks then he stopped breathing at the next picture he saw.
