Moving On
Chapter 27
"Where is Harry?" asked Sirius who was eager to know all about their first day at school. Seeing their shifty look he grew worried, Lucius and Severus came in Remus was up the stairs sleeping. He had been ill lately, and it was nothing to do with the full moon.
"He…He's uh in detention" said Ron waiting for the fireworks to come.
"Detention?! In his first day at a new school! Well done Harry" grinned Sirius gleefully.
"What happened?" asked Severus, he had learned not everything was what he thought of it when Harry Potter was concerned now he knew better than to make assumptions around him.
"He let his anger take control of him and he slapped a girl across the face" winced Neville realizing how bad it sounded.
"Why?" asked Lucius he knew this was very out of character for Harry. He squashed Severus' hand to stop him saying anything he would no doubt regret.
"Because this bitch started saying horrible things about orphans in school and how no one probably wanted them" snapped Fred angrily.
"Oh dear" said Sirius sitting down, he understood why Harry would do what he did now. Being orphaned at the tender age of one had made him resent people with parents. Someone with parents no doubt saying things like that Harry would take it personally. He was just glad no one mentioned Harry's parents otherwise there would have been hell.
Even Severus Snape knew not to talk horribly about James Potter any longer. He had learned the hard way Harry's magic reacted violently whenever anyone spoke about his parents particularly his mother - Vernon's sister Marge is proof of that. Not that Severus would ever say anything horrible about Lily because she had been his life for such a long time. His reason for living, until he blew it anyway.
"Where is he now?" asked Severus.
"Detention" said George.
"Don't give him a hard time about it!" warned Hermione.
"We will be giving him a hard time!" snapped Severus.
"Don't he is older now he no longer wants a father figure he just wants guidance" said Hermione. They soon left, racing outside the forest having a ball running about beating each other. Hermione and Luna mostly watched Ron and Neville racing.
Severus hated to admit it but he knew his childe better than the rest and new that's what Harry needed the most. Grounding him would make him rebel and maybe go of on his own. Lucius would never order Harry to do anything he was just there for him, he would support whatever Severus chose to do.
"Just leave Harry be when he gets in Black I fear Ms. Granger is as usual correct" said Severus. He would never get used to being nice to Hermione; it was just too weird being nice to his students.
"He hit a girl!" said Sirius.
"With good reason, he no doubt regrets it already so do yourself a favour and do not alienate him or you will find him leaving on his own taking the others with him" said Severus.
Sirius growled and stomped to Remus' room, nearly crushing the stairs to dust. He sat beside Remus for ages waiting on him wakening up, thinking back to everything he sighed when he realised Snape was probably right. Everyone seemed to be right these days, he should be happy celebrating, but he wasn't he was worrying about Remus about Harry the others…he had worried that long he wasn't sure how not to worry.
He knew he would have to change if he wanted the others in his life - he hated the fact he was going to have to stop worrying about Harry because then he will know Harry doesn't need his help he was a grown man himself.
Eventually Harry's car came zooming up and before Severus knew it Harry was standing in the living room. "I need to feed," said Harry.
"Have you taken the potion?" asked Severus shocked.
"Yes!" said Harry looking really freaked out.
"I'll make them stronger the new cauldrons might have something to do with it, go take another one it wont harm you" said Severus softly.
"Your back!" squealed Hermione hugging him "How are you?"
"Hungry, I'm going to take another potion don't worry" said Harry.
"Maybe it's because you are stronger magically than us that it's happening" said Hermione looking thoughtful.
"Possible" said Severus; he was beginning to think he was stupid with Granger around him all the time. Oh well suppose it was better to have more than one opinion at least the others wont be giving him more suggestions.
"I take it they told you about this afternoon?" asked Harry softly, he had been waiting for the storm when he got home.
"We know but we trust you not to let your anger get the best of you again" said Severus his eyes were soft in understanding.
Harry smiled sadly, nodding his head he was sure he was going to get shouted at. However, he wasn't even getting grounded it was a well and truly different experience. Harry decided he liked it like this - advising him telling him to try and not do it again. They were finally accepting he wasn't a child any longer.
"I wont I promise" said Harry softly.
"Luna want's to ask you something" said Hermione quickly.
"You wanted to ask him too!" protested Luna glaring at Hermione.
"You can ask him" said Hermione.
"Can Vampire's have babies?" asked Luna looking petrified of the answer.
"No, not normally" said Severus.
Upon seeing their faces fall he gave them the good news.
"But I've created a potion that keeps your organs alive and at the correct temperature you have to take it every week then when its near delivery time you must have a caesarean" said Severus.
"Has it been tested?" asked Ron.
"Indeed, this is how me and Narcissa had Draco and were able to pull of a normal married couple so long" said Lucius.
"Oh" said Fred, he never thought of that.
"That's great" said Hermione beaming proudly.
"No babies until after your finished school" said Severus narrow eyed.
"Look we are not children please stop treating us as such, if me and Hermione wanted to have a child right now we would go ahead regardless" said Ron.
Severus wanted to hiss in anger at the fact they were talking to him like they knew what they were getting into. Grinding his teeth he had to admit defeat he wasn't their parents and didn't want to act like one either.
"Fair enough I guess I still see you as students I need to protect" said Severus admitting the truth.
"That's understandable all you did when we were at Hogwarts was protect us" said Harry. Remembering all the times that Snape had come to rescue them, especially against a werewolf.
"Go take the potion" said Severus softly, "Me and Lucius are going out to buy food" he finished with a grimace. A part of their cover they hated the most, each month they went and bought a whole cart of food, which they gave to people who were hard off in little houses as far away from the house they could manage.
"Ok" said Harry he was up the stairs in seconds the others followed him waited on him taking the potion then began talking.
"The Cullen's spoke to us" said Hermione.
"What? Why?" asked Harry curiously.
"They stopped the idiots vandalizing the cars" said Ron looking very pissed off.
"If they so much as scratch any of them they won't see straight for a year!" snapped Harry he didn't buy expensive cars for others to vandalize them.
"What else was said?" asked Harry.
"They basically just thanked us for what you did, stuck up for them I don't think they are used to that" admitted Fred.
"Huh I didn't do it for just them" said Harry.
"Exactly what we told them, but we have them curious" said George.
"So they will be watching us like hawks" said Neville.
"I'm not really fussy they can find out for all I care" said Harry rolling his eyes "It's not as if they will go and tell everyone, not without exposing themselves!"
"True" smirked Luna "But it wont come to that".
"Have you had any visions?" asked Harry.
Luna told them she thought she had visions when she was human but had been unable to remember them. However, she felt when things were going to go wrong or if things were going to be good.
"I've not had one that I remember yet" said Luna put out, "Or any at all since I became a vampire. You would know if I did I blank out"
"True" said Harry.
"I wonder if anyone will get any special powers," said Ron, he knew some vampires' got special powers he had read it in the books.
"With us having magic I doubt it" said Hermione.
"I won't be surprised if Harry has some kind of special power" smirked George.
"If I do you all will have one" said Harry he hoped so because he hated being special or the odd one out.
