The fortnight passed slower then Harry might have liked and the day before the new moon found Harry and his husband waiting to leave for one of his other properties where they would be stationed for the next while. Harry had not been given the full details but as the order members who were still staying at the manor with them, gathered to leave, Severus told him.

"Potter castle." Severus told Harry.

Harry stared. "I own a castle?"

Severus laughed. "It was on the list of your properties. I think you own two, three if Gryffindor castle still exists."

Harry shook his head. "All of the paper work I read and the countless deeds I looked at I could own the parliament buildings and I probably would have not noticed."

Severus kissed him. "I promise you that you don't own any muggle properties such as parliament but I agree your holdings list is extensive, especially when added to with the Prince lands."

"So why Potter castle?"

"It is in Scotland and not that far from the forbidden forest's edges. It's been under the fidelius for centuries so no one but the family knows it's there."

It made sense. A close location. A property not only under the fidelius charm but he knew countless other blood wards on the property. If a castle it would definitely be much easier to house the entire order after the right. It would also make travel easier. The shorter the distance of apparation, the less energy it would exert from them.

Harry knew that usually a password or such was required though. "How are we going to get into the castle?"

Severus laughed. "The same way you go in here, except with the floo. You will focus through the Potter ring and open the floo to let us all through."

Lucius nodded. "The others will join us in the woods tomorrow night for the trip to the chamber and the rights. They'll come to the castle when it is done."

Taking a deep breath Harry focussed on the ring the way he had when he had been trying to enter Grimmauld place. He was not sure how he was to picture a property that he had never seen before so he instead focussed on his family lineage and to his amazement a castle appeared in his mind.

Throwing floo powder into the fireplace he said. "Potter Castle."

One by one the others passed through the flames until he was left with his husband. Severus offered his arm. "Shall we?"

Harry took it and stepped through the flames and was shocked when they came through on the other end. "This is it?"

The other's laughed at his wide eyed wonder. Lucius smirked. "It's only the library. I believe there are another four wings and a few hundred rooms to see."

Harry gaped at the words and looked around. The library here was bigger then Hogwarts. "How am I ever going to find my way around a place that big?"

Narcissa smiled. "It is a bit bigger if what Lucius read, is right, then Hogwarts. But everything we need is in the main body. The rest you can leave to future endevors."

Harry agreed that it sounded like a plausible plan and soon they were all off on a tour of the main body. There were two parlours, a music room, the library, a huge dinning room and a kitchen on the main floor and over twenty bedrooms spread across the next floor. The order would be able to spread out and be more then comfortable here without using any of the other wings.

Harry was wondering about the master suite when he soon came face to face with a few dozen house elves. The leader bowed. "Lord Potter has returned."

Harry nodded. "I am Lord Potter Black-Snape and this is my husband Lord Snape. Those with us and others who will come after tomorrow are my welcomed guests."

The elves bowed. "Any thing you or your guests need of course we provide. Let Howie show master and master's husband to their bedroom."

They entered a massive suite of rooms larger then half a floor at Grimamauld place. Severus groaned as he noticed the colors were all done in red and gold. Harry had to remind his husband that the Potters were descendents of Gryffindor but with a wave of his wand he replaced all the gold with green, to make the rooms a mix of their two houses.

"Better?" Harry asked.

Severus kissed him on the lips. "Much."

The afternoon of the founder's right found Harry undergoing what was another mini make over for him. He was informed that he and Severus would be required to be presented a certain way by the tradition of the right. It fell to Remus and Draco to dress Harry as Lucius and oddly enough Moody helped Severus prepare.

Dressed only in trousers and a top Harry stood before them and they went to work. A strange robe that was more like a cape with holes for the arms to come through and a clasp at the neck was put on, Harry noticing the hood on the back.

"These are the robes of Godric Gryffindor. They were stored away here for your use." Draco told him.

Harry saw as he looked in the mirror the lion crest of Gryffindor embroidered in jewels on the back, and the robe was a deep crimson with gold clasps. He noticed though there were three beautifully and equally ornate crests on the front patches.

Remus nodded. "They are magically added for the new owner of the robes. If the proper owner is dressed in them, his crests will appear."

Harry smiled as he saw the Prince crest had been included this time. "My husband is finally recognized."



Draco nodded. "You may have had to hide your marriage but the robes recognize the true strength of your bond."

Harry thought to his husband. "Will he have my crests on his robes as well?"

Remus shook his head. "As the junior partner you have become a member of his house but you retain heads of your own two houses. Severus will have but the Prince crest on his heart and the Slytherin on his back."

Jewelry was added including cufflinks this time with great lion heads holding rubies in them, and a gold chain about his neck with a huge ruby hanging from it. He was told they both belonged to the official dress robes of his station.

Severus walked into the room in a similar get up though as said with only his two crests and his jewellery was emeralds. "You look amazing." Severus said.

Harry smiled and pulled his husband into a passionate kiss. When he pulled away. "So do you."

The others smiled and finally though Lucius said. "Now that you are done we need to take off or the others will wonder where we are."

Harry nodded and took his husband's arm for he was unable to apparate himself/ He was anxious not only for the right but to finally know the other members of their order. When they entered the forest he would know.

In a clearing in the forbidden forest that was near the second entrance to the chamber, the order of the Four had agreed to meet at the fall of the day. Those who were still in school though, Luna, Susan and Neville, would be coming through the entrance Harry had known.

As he entered the clearing he came face to face with more then one surprise. The groups had been divided into their founder groups. They were one order but for the ceremony they had been selected to stand as the guardians of an heir. Harry had Remus, Bill and the twins, Fleur and her family. Severus had the Malfoys and Moody and Tonks but there were to be a few new editions as well.

Harry drew his wand in surprise. "What are you doing here?" He practically screamed as he came face to face with Rabastan Lestrange.

Rabastan just smiled and shook hands with Severus. "I assure you unlike my brother and sister in law, I am not a follower of the dark lord, but a spy as your husband was."

Severus nodded. "So are Carlos Zaibini and his wife Maria. And Thomas Flint and his son Marcus." Severus said motioning to four more people.

Harry had been told that there were those thought to be death eaters, among their numbers. He recognized Blaise's parents.

Maria came forward. "Blaise is loyal but for safety reasons we decided he should not be here tonight."

The Zaibinis and the Flints as well as Rabastan would be showing their support of his husband.

Amelia bones stood in place of her niece, with Sybil Trewlaney and Poppy Pomfrey and Pamona Sprout. There was also a woman he learned was Hannah Abbot's mother and he also saw Amos Diggory and his wife. Even Firenze, the centaur Harry had befriended after he saved Harry in these very woods, was with them. Last was Minerva who Harry turned his attention to in surprise.

"I know you said many of the teachers supported our cause but I did not realize you meant nearly them all." Harry said.

Minerva nodded. "Only a few like Vector and Burbage are loyal to the Order of the Phoenix. Most stand behind you and the other heirs."

The last group contained Xeno Lovegood who had arrived, standing for his daughter, Filius stood with her as well, Cho Chang and her parents, and Rodger Davies with his parents as well.

Harry thought that they were done when he heard a few familiar voices coming their way. "Not leaving without us are you?"

Harry turned to see Oliver and Katie who he had almost forgotten as well as to his delight Alicia Spinnet and to his utter shock, Charlie Weasley.

As his old quiditch buddies joined Harry's ranks, Charlie came to Harry smiling. "I'll forgive you for taking my land, since you didn't know any better."

Harry hugged the second oldest Weasley brother. "I thought you went along with the rest of your family."

Charlie shook his head. "We needed someone on the inside still. Bill and the twins had burned bridges long ago so it fell to me. Trust me, I'm on your side."

Harry looked around at them. For the rights they had been divided into four groups but once the right was over they would be one again. Harry had never felt so apart of anything in his life. He had always been excluded from the Order of the Phoenix for being too young. He also found comfort in knowing he was no longer the only chosen one. There were four people that this victory depended on and a small army of people as support.
