Chapter 35- Musing and Happy events

Harry stuck his head in the water to listen for the fifth time…

Come seek us where our voices sound,
We cannot sing above the ground,
And while you're searching ponder this;
We've taken what you'll sorely miss,
An hour long you'll have to look,
And to recover what we took,
But past an hour, the prospect's black,
Too late it's gone, it won't come back.

Blaise had been right; it was Mermish…

Come seek us where our voices sound? Can't sing above the ground? Water? Something about underwater? The Lake?

Searching? Ponder? Taken what you'll sorely miss? Papa? Draco? Orion?

He'd have an hour? Only an hour to find what was lost? If he didn't succeed they'd be gone forever? He couldn't live without papa, Draco or Orion.

He shivered, under water for an hour? How could he survive? He couldn't hold his breath more then a minute and a half…

XoooooX

Two days later… [January 9, 1994]

Draco, Harry, Blaise, Charlie, Fred, George and Hermione left Hogwarts by floo to the Manor. Remus was bringing Severus in soon…

XoooooX

Remus wrapped his arms around his mate, kissing his neck as he admired his Sevy in the mirror. "You look gorgeous." In the pocket of his robe was a silver ring in the shape of a serpent with emerald eyes; he planned on giving it to his mate.

Severus blushed, "You didn't need go to much trouble." His birthday had never been worthy of much celebration.

"It's not trouble to show you how much we care about you." Remus chuckled, "We should go, they are waiting for us."

It was a little surreal to be worthy of a Birthday party…

They emerged in one of the Manor's parlours to find it decorated in green and silver.

Harry leapt from Draco's lap to meet him, "Happy Birthday papa."

Severus hugged the tiny Fourth Year, "Thank you."

Remus grinned; "Since we're all here…" he held out a black velvet box, "it would be my honor to ask you to be Bonded to me. Harry, Draco and Lucius have already given their consent. I would like nothing more."

Severus opened the box to find a platinum ring in the shape of a serpent with emerald eyes, he blinked, "Remus?"

Remus slipped the ring on his mate's crooked left ring finger, "I want to make our little family official and if you are still willing, I'll like to give you everything you always wanted and were afraid you didn't deserve." He leaned forward to whisper, "I want us to have a baby of our own."

Severus blushed, Bonded? Make their family official? Remus wanted him to have their own baby?

Andromeda smirked, "Say yes or I can't give you your present."

Severus threw his arms around Remus' neck and kissed him, "Of course I'll say yes. When?"

Remus grinned, "I was thinking during Spring Holidays, it would be after exams."

Lucius chuckled, "sounds perfect. I'll be presiding I'm sure. Severus can't oversee his own Bonding."

Severus nodded, "I would be most grateful."

"That means I get to plan." Narcissa said excitedly.

"You're a few weeks from giving birth are you sure that's wise mother?" Draco asked concerned.

"Don't forget you still have our Bonding to plan Narcissa. I only wish my mother wished to be apart of it. I would be her first child to bond." Charlie said bowing his head in respect for the woman who had accepted his lover into her heart.

Narcissa waved her hand dismissively, "the Bonding is planned for a traditional ceremony in the small ballroom due to the weather. The invitations went out last week, it's planned for February 10."

"Mother! That's the day after your due date." Draco protested.

"Actually Dragon I'm due on the eighth." Narcissa gently corrected, "I'll be perfectly fine to oversee Blaisé's bonding."

Oliver spoke up, "I know it's short notice but in light of our surprising pregnancy but our Bonding will be on February 15 at six pm. Your invitations will be sent out by owl post tomorrow. Mother has graciously agreed to oversee the whole event. There will be a late supper following the ceremony,"

"I didn't know you proposed officially." Charlie teased.

Percy smirked, "I wasn't aware you'd proposed either until Ollie mentioned it after noticing Blaisé's ring while we were talking with Minister Bones."

Oliver chuckled, "Show them the ring."

Percy's ring was a lion with a quill in one paw and a gold snitch in the other, "I love it."

"Who is next to get engaged?" Fred asked teasingly, "Hermione?"

Arthur chuckled, "Congratulations boys but I'm after that you're wrong Fred. Bill just introduced Fleur to my father last week. Apparently father has his heart set on Fleur being Lady Weasley."

Charlie smirked, that made him the future Lord Prewett.

"So we have the future Lord Wood and his consort, Lord Potter-Black, Lord Malfoy, Lord Zabini, Lord Prewett here." Draco said counting them out, "We're on good terms with the heirs to the Longbottom and Pucey seats. I'm sure we're also on good terms with the future Lord Weasley."

Lucius interrupted, "Don't forget we have Lord Prince and his consort."

Harry blinked, "Lord Prince?"

Narcissa grinned, "Severus' grandfather was the previous Lord Prince, he inherited the title after the war.

Andromeda flicked her wand and a scroll with a bow floated beside Remus and Severus.

Severus untied the bow and unrolled the scroll; his eyes widened and then glimmered with moisture. "Andromeda?"

Remus' jaw dropped, "Adoption papers?"

Harry's head spun to look at Draco's aunt.

Andromeda chuckled, "He's still a Potter but legally he's your son when you sign the papers. They are only valid if you're legally Bonded."

Harry's eyes filled with tears, "Parents? They are really truly my parents?"

Remus knelt and held his arms out, "Come here pup."

Harry scrambled from Draco's lap and into Remus' arms, "Dad."

Remus hugged him with one arm and reached for Severus, "thank you Andromeda."

Harry buried his face in Severus' robes, "Papa."

Draco looked up at his aunt and mouthed, 'thank you."

She chuckled, after the last few months they had all had they deserved to be happy.

Remus ruffled Harry's hair and kissed his mate, "I love you both."

The party continued with dinner and more presents, but the best gifts Severus Snape had already received; Remus proposed and Harry was soon to be their legal son. He couldn't be happier especially since Remus wanted to try for a son. He planned on taking fertility potions for the next four months just to be sure he'd conceive.

XoooooX

Fred had borrowed Harry's golden egg, listened to the song and come up with a solution. He slipped into Harry's room and shook the sleeping boy, "Harry."

Harry rubbed his eyes yawning, "Fred?"

Fred held out the egg, "Sorry I borrowed it without asking. I thought you might need a little help. I did some research; you have about three normal options. One would be the bubble-head charm, Gillyweed which tastes nasty and transfiguring yourself into a water creature. Since I think you need your hands transfiguration would be foolish. Learn the Bubble head charm just in case but use this. It's a potion George and I brewed to play tag with the giant squid. It will last almost an hour and a half it has Gillyweed in it. It gives you gills and speeds up your body's absorption of oxygen."

Harry hugged him, "Thank you!" he'd make sure the potion stayed safe. Now he had to look forward to having someone he cared about and needed being taken. His heart twisted, they wouldn't be cruel enough to take Draco would they? He shivered, he hoped not…

Exceeds Expectations? Outstanding? Troll? What do you think? Sorry it took so long...
