Remus had no idea how the man knew where they were. He had checked the wand and wolf as well as the collar for any spells. He had known he wouldn't give up. Remus knew he had basically helped a war lord escape but he did what he had to do. In truth Moody and the others stood no chance of defeating Voldemort in a simple battle. He knew with time they could have but he knew how many would die. He had gone to Voldemort with an offer when the man came to the island. In return for teaching him a spell to save his life the man agreed to free him as well as Harry and the twins.

He watched Harry as he had pie with the twins. Voldemort had truly loved Harry in his own way. It was that love that allowed him to live. The spell was similar to a Horcrux but not really. Voldemort with Harry was Tom. And Remus simply split the personalities permanently. The man killed was Voldemort and with him went more then half his magic. Tom survived as the man who loved Harry and once was a good student.

Remus shook away the thought "I don't care even if he is Tom. He still raped and hurt Harry. I won't let him take Harry back."

He had been muttering but Harry looked up "Is something wrong Moony?"

Remus shook his head "No just thinking about something."

Someone more like it. The wild card was Lucius as he had no idea if Lucius knew Tom was alive. He was meant to be the one who killed Voldemort in the end Remus wasn't sure if the spell was performed then. Tom obviously had resources to come here but if they came from Lucius he wasn't certain. The major concern there of course were his son and George. Lucius wanted them both dead. Draco he wanted dead as a traitor and George knew all his secrets.

He knew he should speak to Severus. He wasn't sure how the man would take that Remus used a spell he told him about to save the man. But when he got back to the house he knew what he had to do. When alone and knowing the boys could not listen in he told the man.

Severus took it a lot better then he thought "I had wondered how he was killed so easily."

Remus nodded "He is here. I know he is at the skill level he was at in school but I won't let him near my son again."

Severus put a calming hand on him "Neither of us will allow any of those boys to be drawn back into that."

He knew Remus was worried about Draco or he wouldn't have come. He assured Remus that Voldemort had funds stashed away. Tom as he was now proper if he had been working with Lucius would have acted. Tom had a darker side but he had not gone black until the summer he met his father and killed him. His powers were back to that time making him basically sixteen in skill. But even then Tom was powerful for a teen.

Severus sighed "I would have done the same thing. I actually researched that as a bargaining chip if I didn't get Draco out when ousted as spies."

Remus understood why Severus was so calm now "I hope the man will back off. We have a home here and I don't want to have to move."

He also didn't want to have to tell Harry which he knew he would have to if they left. Harry was having a hard enough time healing and moving on. If he knew part of the man was alive it would be impossible. The dark heir of Slytherin was gone for good but Remus would not allow the man near Harry if he had any say.

Severus showed him a note from Xeno "It seems Draco will soon be replaced. Lucius announced Hermione is pregnant already."

Remus had been shocked to learn she married him "I would wonder if the baby is his."

Hermione had changed a lot it seemed. Before he was caught she was mad in love with Ron. Severus admitted there were rumours she still had a red headed lover on the side as well. The interesting part was the speculation on which Weasley it was.

Severus smirked "Lucius is not a fool. He will have a paternity test on the baby. I wouldn't want to be Hermione if the baby isn't his."


Lucius had heard the rumours of course but he would not listen. Oh he knew the little slut would have lovers eventually but they shared a bed every night. The rumours were way out there and ridiculous any ways. She had been caught in a threesome with Molly and Arthur was the most recent one. He made sure the healer ran a test to confirm the exact date of conception. They had been on their honeymoon for three days by then but he would still have a paternity test.

He wanted the rumours to die down first though. He had been keeping his wife on a tight leash. He knew every one who came to the manor. There was no one there but those on business for him. And he had hired security to trail her when she was out. They would not be seen by her or so he thought.

His assistant could be heard "You can't simply go in there Miss."

His wife's voice cut though "I am Lady Malfoy and I will go into his office if and when I choose. One more word and I will have you cleaning toilets."

As Hermione swept into the room he smiled at the change. He hadn't been certain about a mudblood even this one as a wife. She had proven when given some money and power she could be as proper a wife as a pureblood. Narcissa was like this but he found out it was all lies and she died for it. She corrupted their son and turned him into a softy. He would have no problem with Hermione as he could see she truly showed her character now.

He stood to greet her with a kiss. His assistant had been wrong to try and stop her but he didn't like her storming in. He had been married enough though to know he should not say that. He remembered pregnancy hormones made women even more irrational then usual.

Hermione pulled back "What is the meaning of having me followed? I will not have this Lucius.'

Lucius tried to calm her "It is just until the rumours die down. The press can be risky and I don't want you or my son hurt."

Hermione was not so easily appeased until he took a box from his desk for her. She found a custom made diamond choker in the box. It was the one she wanted last week but he told her she had plenty of jewels already. The new trinket and a promise to not have her followed finally got her to leave.

He called in head of security 'If you don't want to be fired do a better job. I told you she was never to know she was followed."
