Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter though when I wish I dreamt that I do, really lol.
Sorry it has taken so long for me to get something out for this fic, I have had terrible writers block and am still not over it entirely.
Any mistakes please tell me.
On with the fic!
Miracle
Chapter Five
In the Dim Light of Secrets
Told in Harry's POVI climbed out of the bath with Angel resting on my hip. She had enjoyed her first bath and had been splashing around in the bubbled water. The water felt wonderful, Angel and I had not been able to wash within the confines of Azkaban, as water was too precious to use for such a wasteful exercise. It felt nice to be clean, I dried us both off and dressed her in a warm sleeper suit that Severus had transfigured and brought in. I dressed in some warm cotton pyjamas that Draco had brought with him, they were a little large on me, but I recognised them as ones I worn before I went to Azkaban.
I walked out back into the ward and say Draco and Severus sitting next to the bed I was laying on before my bath. Dumbledore and Black were still in the room sitting a little away from my husband and his godfather. I think Dumbledore must have forced the rest of them out of the room, especially if he wants to talk me around to staying more than a night in this God Forsaken place.
I walked over to the bed and Draco stood up and took Angel from my arms. I know it was unfair to think that he shouldn't hold her, but she had only know me for so long, a part of me, really deep down, thinks that he may just take her and leave me to fend for myself, I don't think I could survive on my own for long, not with the so called Light after me to defeat that bastard Voldemort. I just hope that Draco could forgive me whenever I get a little possessive over her.
I climbed into the bed feeling the potion that Severus had given me before my bath start to wear off. I watch as Draco sat down with Angel, placing Angel on his lap and Severus standing and approaching the bed. He takes out a vial from his pocket and held it out to me, I looked at him and saw the concern in his onyx black eyes.
"What is it?" I ask, my voice still rough as I spoke.
He smiled, "It is a Dreamless Sleep Potion, to make sure you rest. You need it Harry, if only for tonight."
I smiled at him and noted that the colour of the potion was slightly darker than the one that Madam Pomfrey gave to me while in school. I wonder briefly if there has been some improvement to the potion while I have been locked away in Azkaban. I know Severus wouldn't poison me, he saved my life a number of times during my school years. I opened the vial and drank the contents, I began t feel sleepy straight away. I felt Severus help me to lie down.

I woke to someone shacking me with some urgency. "Harry wake up!" came the urgent whisper with the shaking of my shoulder.
I groggily opened my eyes and looked into the silvery blue of Draco's, "Dray?" I questioned. I looked around the ward seeing out the window the starry night sky.
"We have to go now Harry, we can not stay any longer. I don't trust Dumbledore or the Weasel and Weasellette not to do something. Dumbledore and Black left a few hours ago after we agreed not to leave until you woke up. He thinks we gave you a full dose of Dreamless Sleep, Severus gave you a mostly a small does of Dreamless with an Easy Sleep. Meaning that you wont have dreams but you will fall asleep still but not the deep, 'can't wake up' sleep." Draco explained to me, "I have some clean clothes for you to wear, though they may be a little big on you as you have lost some weight, which we will have to get you to put back on."
I sit up and spot Severus standing at the bottom of the bed holding Angel, she was dressed in a summer dress of a light green. She looked like a little girl about to go out to the park with her parents. She looked beautiful, even though she was a little on the thin side. It was a little surprising at how natural Severus looked with a child in his arms, I wonder briefly what he was doing with his life after getting free from Voldemort.
"Okay." I say as I get out of the bed and stand shakily on my feet, I haven't had enough rest to recover enough strength to stand. I get dressed quickly and the four of us made out way out of the school.
"I sent for a carriage to meet us at the door." Severus spoke softly as we reached the exit to the hospital wing. I smiled at him and nod my head.
We walked out of the castle and breathed a sigh of relief that we made it without alerting anyone that we were leaving. We reached the carriage and climbed in, I went in first, I looked at the place I had first called home, it was no longer that for me. I took Angel from Severus and sat back as they too joined me on the leather seats of the carriage.
With a spoken commanded from the older raven-haired wizard we the carriage started to move forwards, and then I watched as the scenery outside started to rush past, much like it did when I had travelled on the Nightbus when I was thirteen. I was to tired to truly note the passage of time as we travelled to where ever Severus and Draco wanted us to go. I had thought that we maybe going to the house that Draco and I had brought after we had married.
As the carriage stopped I looked out and could smell salt in the air, we were at the seaside. I only know the smell as Draco had taken us to Rhyl for two weeks for our honeymoon, you could say. It was a wonderful, I loved going to the beach and watching as the tide came in. It was relaxing and restful. I made a wooded box and then decorated it with some shells, it was for my keepsakes, it holds my photo album and pictures of Draco and me. I spelled it so only Draco or I could go into it. I left it in my trunk, I wonder where my trunk is.
We climb out of the carriage and Severus goes off to talk with someone nearby, I can't here what the two are talking about. I feel an arm go around my waist as I stand in the dawn light. Draco pulls Angel and me close and I rest my head against his shoulder, he is taller than me. Severus soon comes back to us.
"My home is in Ireland, and we will be taking a boat over there to avoid all magical means of transport, like Floo and Apparition. They wont be able to follow where the carriage has gone, as it has no signature to follow. So we are taking this Fish trawler over, as people would think we would have taken a ferry. Don't worry we can trust the Captain." Severus said as he came back over to us.
"Where is you home?" I ask as I shift Angel around a little, she had become heavy in my arms.
"We will be travelling to Rosslare Harbour in Ireland, at the moment we are in Fishguard. When we get there we will be taking a train. From the station in Rosslare we will have a ten, fifteen-minute walk until we reach my home on Seaview Villas. I hope you will feel at home there while you recover Harry." He told us with a kind of secret smile on his face, as though he was hiding something from us.
"Thank you Severus, for doing this, for all the trouble it may bring you." I told him gratefully, I know that what is going on is going to cause trouble.
"Harry, don't worry about it, I want you to go somewhere where you will be able to recover your life and the get on with it. I don't think that England would have been a good place, not with Voldemort still around." He smiled at me as he spoke softly, I could see the truth in his eyes.
"Thank you." I whisper my voice a little rough but getting better.
"Severus lad!" the man that Severus was talking to called out to him. "We're ready for you!" the man had a slight Irish lilt to his voice that made me smile. It reminded me a little of Seamus, and that brought back the memory of my first Charms lesson where he blew up his feather. Still wondering why though.
"Come on let's board now. They are letting us use the cabin as it is only about a half hours journey to Rosslare Harbour." Severus ushered us over to the fishing boat and onto it. We were quickly settled into the bunkroom and left alone as the gentle swaying of the boat over calm waters soothed my nerves and made me a little sleepy.

I felt someone gently touch my shoulder as I was resting my eyes. I opened them to find myself on a slowing train. "Hey sleepy." Draco smiled at me. I have missed that smile so much, it always lit up my day.
"How?" I asked a little confused.
"You fell asleep on the boat, we didn't want to wake you so Severus carried you to the train station. I only want to wake you now so you can see where we will be staying for a while." The blond answered my confused question.
I nod my head as the train came to a gentle stop. I stood up and watched as Severus carried Angel and Draco kept an arm around me. I hate to admit it but I needed that arm. I am so tired, I know that I am coming to my thresh hold on my strength, I think I may have passed it.
The sun was up and Draco told me it was now almost seven in the morning. We walked down the street. Severus came to a stop in front of a two-story house. We stopped and he let Draco take Angel from him, she was awake and looking around her with excitement.
Severus was walking up the garden path when the door to the house flung inwards and a young woman with light brown hair runs out of the house and jumps into Severus' arm, I chuckle a little and so does Draco. She started to babble excitedly at him, but I can't understand a word she is saying.
"Lucy, slow down I can not understand a single word you are saying." He tells her as he puts her down on the ground.
"You gonna be a daddy a second time." She tells him. I am somewhat shocked that Severus has a kid I wonder what they are like, and how old. They maybe a little younger than what Angel is, maybe they can be playmates.
"That is wonderful." He smiles as he kisses the young woman.
"Oh did I mention, not only a second time but a third too." She grinned mischievously.
"T… TWINS!" he yelled, his eyes were bogged, and I couldn't help but laugh, along with Draco. "Oh wow… my… wow!"
I know this chapter is shorter than the others but I could not think of anything else to put here at this moment, but I have already thought what I should write next for this story. So don't worry and so sorry that it took so long to update this fic. Read and review me pwease lol.
