Now it was Harry's turn to run through names. He thought of all the former order members. "Who?"
"Fabian Prewett."
Harry wasn't sure he had heard him right. "As in Molly Weasleys' younger brother?"
"He was killed with Gideon trying to protect that group of muggles from death eaters. They were massacred." Severus said.
Reg shook his head. "My brother in law Gideon was killed. Fabian survived but Dumbledore took him away. He let everyone believe them both dead."
Harry's heart ached. He knew how much the twins' death had devastated that family. "You're telling me my adoptive Uncle is out there some where alive?"
Regulas nodded. "Dumbledore has made sure I am reminded he's alive every so often to keep me in line, from doing anything too stupid."
Severus and Harry took a seat. "We'll help free your husband if we can. Do you have any idea where he has been kept?"
Regulas nodded. "The Dumbledore family estate. The problem is that it's unplottable. The rumours are that it's in Scotland but where, I have no idea."
Harry had an idea. "Sev, is there a chance that the goblins would know of the location? Grimmauld is known even though unplottable, as are my others."
Severus nodded. "But I doubt that they're going to give you that kind of information, no matter how fond they are of you."
Regulas smirked. "He doesn't need to coerce them. The Dumbledore estate is a family estate, any family member can demand entrance into it."
Harry didn't understand. "His brother Aberforth is the only family I am aware he has, and that man will not help."
Reg shot Severus a look and his husband smiled. "Harry, remember that all of the old magic families are intermarried throughout the years."
Harry nodded. "Are you telling me that I am related to Dumbledore some how?"
Severus shook his head."No. But I am."
Harry wasn't sure why anything his husband told him surprised him any more. "You're related to Albus? Does he know?"
Severus smirked. "No. See the truth is Tobias was no muggle, he was a squib. His mother came from an old wizarding family, and was first cousin to Albus' father."
"So we can demand information from the goblins about the estate." Harry realized.
Severus nodded. "We'll have to be ready to act. As soon as we learn the location, Dumbledore will be notified. We'll have to have our back up ready to go."
Regulas had been silent for a while but stared at them. "This is too much risk. Sirius would never forgive me for putting you at risk. I will not allow you to Harry."
Harry came over to him. "You are my Uncle thanks to Siri. I will do this for you but also for those I call my brothers, who have been denied an Uncle all this time."
Reg hugged Harry. "Thank you. You have no idea what the thought of having my husband back means to me. If you get him back for me I will owe my life to you."
Harry nodded. "Stay here and I promise you we'll do everything to return your husband to you. I can not even imagine loosing Sev for seventeen years."
Severus pulled Harry into his arms. "Pray we never have to find out. Now we should get back to England, we need to get into contact with the rest of the order."
Harry hugged his Uncle and walked outside with his husband. His heart was pounding. He knew how dangerous this was going to be but if he could give Bill, Charlie and the twins their Uncle back, as well as give his Uncle his husband back, then it would be worth any risk that they would be taking. He owed it to Siri to do this for his brother; he owed it to the Weasleys. He wondered with a pang if Molly would ever know her brother was alive.

They had made arrangements for the goblins to meet them at the ministry of magic. Bringing in more then just his husband and him into Gringotts would have raised far too much attention and it would never have worked. It was far safer to have Ragnald meet them with Madam Bones and the lord had agreed.
Alastor Moody, Tonks and Amelia would be coming with them. Ragnald came into the office. "I understand you claim to be a Dumbledore, Lord Snape."
Severus nodded and handed over his family tree. "My father Tobias Snape was a member of the Dumbledore family by his mother."
Ragnald looked at the forms. "It does seem in order. I have the authority to show you the location of the home of your clan."
Severus looked down at the photo and parchment shown. "And how can I have access to these properties?"
Ragnald handed him a small pendent. "This will give you access. It works only for a family member and those you'd invite with you."
Severus shook the man's hand. "Could you give us at least ten minutes before you reveal that you have given this to us?"
The man looked at Harry. "In respect for your husband Lord Black-Snape, ten minutes I will give. I wish it could be more but it is as best as I can."
Harry thanked the goblin. "My family continues to appreciate Gringotts aid and we will continue to work for your rights in our world."
Ragnald bowed and took his leave. "Thank you Lord Black-Snape. I ask not what you use this information for but wish you luck."
When the goblin was gone Severus looked at the others. "We need to go now and we have to be quick. I just wish there were more of us."
Moody growled. "Unfortunately most of our loyal members have lost their place in the ministry and would raise to much suspicion. We'll have to do."
Harry took his husband's arm while the others joined wit them in the circle and Severus pressed a hold on the pendent he was holding and focussed on the image of the great manor that was in his hands. They disappeared and when they reappeared they stood in the grounds of the manor.
Severus turned to them all. "Spread out. Keep on guard. Find Fabian and as soon as you found him use the signal to alert us and get him out of here."
Harry was about to take off but Severus took him by the arm. "You're staying with me Harry. I'm not letting you go by yourself."

The minutes were ticking by and Harry knew that they were running out of time before Dumbledore would be alerted to their knowledge and would come to stop them from finding Fabian. He was loosing hope quickly but they came to a wing that they hit the strongest ward that Harry had ever felt in his life time.
Severus felt them. "We've found him. The only reason there would be wards like this inside of the house would be to keep something in."
Harry nodded and focussed his mind into the wards. He sought the key of it, sought the center where there was a weakness, where he would be able to force them down. Severus had taught him well but he had never faced such strong shields before. He felt his body weaken but he found the key and pushed through.
Severus put an arm strong around his waist. "You did it Harry."
Harry nodded and walked towards a door and using his wand unlocked it. He saw a man laying on a plank bed there. He had never seen him before but the man was the very image of Fred and George though his hair was near brown.
"Fabian" Harry said.
The man looked up. "Who are you?"
"I am Harry Black-Snape. I have been sent by your husband, my Uncle Reg, to save you."
The man shot up in the bed. "Reg? My husband, he's still alive? Dumbledore said he's been dead for years."
Harry was about to answer but Severus shook his head. "Our times up. We need to get you out of here. We'll answer questions when we get back."
Severus sent a signal and went to help Fabian up. They were about to leave when Dumbledore apparated in the hall. Harry in desperation pulled the wards back into place, redirecting their force to keep Albus out.
Severus looked at him. "Harry let me take the wards. Someone has to remain behind or they'll come down before we can leave."
Harry shook his head. "No. You're not powerful enough to hold them. Go Sev and get Fabian back to my Uncle."
Severus shook his head. "No. You almost died for me in prison already. I won't let you die for me now"
Harry tossed the chain of his portkey around Fabian's neck activating it first. Before Severus could react he was being pulled away. The last thing Severus heard before he was pulled away was
"Sev, I'll love you always."
Severus slammed into the ground of Malfoy manor in France. The order surrounded them.
Lucius grabbed Severus. "Where's Harry?"
"He's gone."
