Chapter 2- Announcements
It was the day before Harry's fifteenth birthday, when the Hogwarts owls arrived. Severus had been flooing to Hogwarts at least three times a week before then…
Everyone was eating Breakfast at the Manor…
Blaise had come early for Harry's birthday; he looked up at the sound of wings, "Owl post."
Two Owls landed in front of Draco, Harry, Hermione, Blaise, Fred and George…
Fred opened his letter from the Ministry first, "Dear Mr. Fred Weasley, we are pleased to award you your N.E.W.T. in the following Subjects: Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Astronomy and Care of Magical Creatures." He smirked, "I passed." He tore open the second, "Dear Mr. Fred Weasley, in light of your N.E.W.T. scores Hogwarts thereby awards you with a certificate of completion. Sincerely, Minerva McGonagall, Headmistress."
George read his, "Dear Mr. George Weasley, we are pleased to award you your N.E.W.T. in the following Subjects: Charms, Potions, Herbology, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Astronomy and Care of Magical Creatures." He glanced at his letter from Hogwarts, "It says I've graduated too."
Lucius chuckled, "Then I've an announcement. I have purchased a building that includes a large store at 93 Diagon Alley; all other tenants will owe you rent. It has all new floors and windows; there is a large storage area as well as a workroom. The upstairs has two bedrooms and an office but with the right charm you could expand without having to knocking down neighboring walls."
George blinked, "You bought us a shop?"
"With the Triwizard Cup winnings, between Fred and Severus we accumulated a large supply of potions ingredients he claimed you needed. Your 'secret' stash of products has been transported from Hogwarts to the premises."
George was overwhelmed, "All that? I can't brew until I have the babies…"
Severus chuckled, "they are as stubborn as you are. Nearly 7 months and they still refuse to allow me to discover their genders."
"Probably two boys," Charlie teased cradling Athena in one strong arm as she fed from a bottle, she was drinking a full bottle now. She was now an average weight, you would be hard pressed to guess she'd been born from a Veela egg rather then a natural birth.
"Well, boys are more common in our family. Though both Bill and Charlie had girls." Percy said rocking Sean and sipping his coffee, Oliver and himself had slipped away for a two-week vacation with Sean as a late Honeymoon once the terrible Tournament was over.
"Percy dear how are you and Oliver adjusting?" Narcissa asked.
"Janie fixed up the house Oliver inherited for us, we were staying at home Ollie grew up in after I found out I was pregnant. Janie was really helpful; she's a wonderful grandmother. I didn't even know she'd fixed up the house for us, not until the portkey dropped us off there. Ivy Hall is a lovely place, she gave us two house elves so even though Ollie and I are so busy the house is clean and we both have good meals." Percy gushed. "We'll have to have you over for supper."
"I think married life suits him Gred."
"Me too Forge. He's very unprat-like."
"You two are awful." Oliver chuckled.
Draco grinned, "Is Sean a good baby?"
"He isn't even two months yet Draco. He can't be sleeping through the night yet."
"I can't believe he was almost born on my birthday."
"Dream on, I wouldn't give birth to my son and make him your birthday present." Percy teased.
"You were first Choice for Head Boy Fred. Though I'm sure your first duty would be to blow up Fitch's office and trap Mrs. Norris in a suit of armor."
"Remus, you wound me. I would have rigged all the teacher's offices with interesting pranks. McGonagall wouldn't be exempt."
"You never grew up." Severus stated with a raised eyebrow.
"Me? Grow up? Of course not. My dream is to always be a boy and have fun. That's why I'm one-third partner in Weasley's Wizard Wheezes and I'm a trial Beater for Chudley Cannons. WWW is a proud supporter of the Cannons. Lucius bought ads at all Quidditch matches, we also have them in the Daily Prophet and the Quibbler. The Cannons think they persuaded me but I'm using them for promotion. If I don't like it I can quit, they pay me per game and per practice, I don't have a contract like Oliver." Fred smirked.
"You devious pitiful excuse for a Lion." Remus chuckled.
"We all know I should have been a snake, I have ambition and a healthy desire to brend the rules to suit me. I became a prefect to make it easier to avoid getting caught." Fred snickered.
"Since Fred already announced it, I've also been awarded a place with the Cannons, I agreed to a one year open contract. I can at anytime sign with Puddlemere but the Cannons are the family team." Charlie high-fived his younger brother.
"The Cannons? Charlie we'll cream you." Oliver moaned.
"Aren't the rest of you going to open your letters?" Severus asked, wincing slightly at a kick.
Draco finally opened his, accompanying his book list was another letter and something fell out of the letter. He stared at the badge, "Quidditch Captain? But I thought Adrian was…"
"He was named Head boy."
"What about Cedric? He was a Triwizard Champion…" Draco asked, with Fred out of the running due to an early graduation he was surprised…
"But Adrian proved himself in those little Quidditch matches of yours, he managed to get members of other houses to work together something a Head Boy must be able to do. We told him early and gave him the option of retaining his Captaincy badge. Adrian refused and recommended you." Severus smiled, squeezing his godson's shoulder.
"Quidditch captain? It's an honor…"
"Pup, aren't you going open yours?"
Harry kissed Draco shyly, "Congratulations, you deserve it." He opened his own letter and a badge fell in his lap, "P…pre…fect? But Draco had better marks…"
"We though you'd come the farthest and you would like being a prefect like your mother and I." Remus smiled, "A bit disappointed you aren't a Lion Prefect but you're where you belong."
"We chose Daphne as your counterpart, we hoped you'd work best with her." Severus continued.
Hermione ripped her's open, after Harry's party she was going to spend the week before Tonks' Bonding at Viktor's and then the week after her parents had reluctantly agreed to let her go. Viktor had managed to impress her father, after all he had survived a dangerous tournament, saved her from danger, had high marks and was employed all before he graduated from school. "Prefect! Mr. Lupin!"
"Besides Lily, I can't think of a girl who deserves being prefect more."
Hermione left the room at a dead run.
"She's going to firecall Viktor." Fred laughed
"Yep, won't wait a minute." George nibbled on some fruit and toast.
"Who is the Gryffindor boys prefect?"
"Well due to his shocking marks Neville Longbottom- he had managed to gain exceed Expectations or Outstandings in all his subjects minus Potions. Alicia became their new Captain." Remus said eating oatmeal with chocolate- he said it improved the flavor.
"What about Angelina?" Harry asked.
"Head Girl. She refused like Adrian to handle two responsibilities." Severus said eating a tomato whole. "Neville almost managed to get higher then an Acceptable. He might have a chance of getting a decent O.W.L."
"He seems to think you're scary." Remus teased, then his voice took a serious note, "Unfortunately, Ginny Weasley is being allowed to return to school in September but she is being forced to repeat her third year."
Draco growled, "I don't know why. She had in her possession potions that were illegal for her to have and she didn't explain satisfactorily how regulated and semi-illegal potions came into her possession."
"She is also ordered to stay away from you at all costs." Severus said as he reached for a plum.
"She'll be the only Weasley besides Charlie present. Ron's expelled, while Fred and George graduated early." Oliver said drinking his coffee.
"Have you sent any pictures of Sean to your mother?" Narcissa asked off hand.
"No." Percy said firmly, "She disapproved of Oliver and I doubt she wants anything to do with our son. I never told her I was pregnant."
"She attended your bonding."
"Oh? I didn't notice. Then she knows because Professor Snape told me we were having a boy and not once did she owl me to ask me how I was or how far along I was." Percy wiped spit from his son's face, "She seems to be ignoring me."
"She hasn't owled me either." Charlie shrugged, "if she doesn't want to be a grandmother that's not our fault."
"Did anyone see her at Bill's Bonding?" Percy asked.
"Wasn't looking," George mumbled, "was too busy trying to hide beneath a Glamour. I wasn't ready to explain my situation to her…" who wanted to explain to their mother that a product test had resulted in a surprise but very much wanted pregnancy. As far as anyone was concerned he had a run in with a stranger at the Yule ball. He somehow ended up pregnant…
"George, are you okay with Fred flying?"
"He already discussed it with me, its promotion for the shop. Besides, I have permission to join him as soon as I'm healthy. "My first duties are to my babies and our shop. Charlie will look after him, he's a good big brother…"
Charlie opened his newspaper and scowled, "I can't believe they made this garbage front page."
"What?"
"That awful legislation?" Lucius sneered, "I've already begun bribing powerful voices in the Wizengamot to vote against it. The money is charmed to disappear if they break their word."
"I thought we were more accepting then Muggles". Harry asked.
"Normally, yes. But some people don't think much of hybrids. I personally don't like Hagrid. That has nothing to do with his presumed Heritage and more to do with his irresponsible and danger beliefs that monsters aren't dangerous."
"Such as his three headed dog named Fluffy that he smuggled into the castle?" Draco snorted.
"Or his preoccupation with owning a dragon?" Charlie rolled his eyes, "he couldn't handle one."
"Exactly why we said he was the one in charge of safety during the previous Tournament, he wouldn't consider a cockatrice dangerous so that it got lose and killed the three heads of Hogwarts, Durmstrang and Beauxbatons." Blaise scowled, before kissing Athena's forehead.
Charlie hugged him gently, "I won't let that terrible woman hurt our babies."
"If she's this awful, we can move to France. Beauxbatons lets Veela descendants attend. It would be sad if our babies couldn't go to our old school…"
"It's too bad then that your kids weren't born in France."
"Don't worry, my next brood with be." Blaise said fiercely. "I won't let her hurt my babies, I can't help our blood."
"Dad are you going to be in trouble?" Harry was worried about his dad, "What about the babies?"
"Unless the legislation falls through before I have to deliver we'll be sure to have your brothers born in some place that isn't so anti-werewolf."
Harry's eyes shone, "Brothers?"
Remus sighed, "Sev I thought we were telling him tomorrow."
"Couldn't help myself." Severus rolled his eyes.
"Congratulations." Lucius drawled.
"Dad and Papa still going to want me?"
"Not want you? You're Lily's baby, we love you very much. You're our son and nothing will change that." Remus smiled at him holding his arms open
Harry snuggled in his dad's lap.
Draco chuckled, his Adder may have survived the tournament and his third meeting with the Dark Lord but there were moments that reminded you that Harry was still a little bit of a child…but the scars his uncle left him were soon to be only skin deep. After the tournament, Harry had a week of terrible dreams but between Aunt Annie's Dreamless sleep potions and almost daily meetings with his little snake's Mind Healer Harry was doing much better. Prefect? He couldn't imagine who deserved it more, Harry had matured and learned so much since that afternoon in Madam Malkin's.
