Author Notes: The story is finished and I will be posting one chapter a day. Here's the next chapter; the club featured in this chapter is real. I used my imagination a bit, considering I have never been to a gay club. My only reference is what a website said about it and what I saw in the television show Queer as Folk. Tell me what you think in a review please.

"Is it someone from the magical world? Did someone else betray my trust?" Harry asked in a heartbroken voice. Lucas held his young mate close.

"Harry," Erica began, ignoring the emerald eyed man's question. "Who are your friends in New York, I believe it is, right?"

"I have a lot of friends in New York."

"Who are the ones on the forefront of your mind?"

Harry wasn't sure where this was going. "There's Cory; I own a bakery with him. There's also Jacob, Cory's older brother. I know for a fact that he's quite fond of me. There's also Marti, one of the only people I kept in touch with from the culinary school. My best friend is Andy, a squib who I used to date."

Erica's eyes were sad. "That best friend of yours is the traitor."

Harry's breathing became erratic as Viktor's jaw clenched. He knew there was a reason that he didn't like Andy. Lucas did everything he could to sooth his distressed mate. "Erica, talk and explain." Lucas ordered before continuing, "I don't like the fact that you're upsetting my mate without any elaboration."

"Of course," Erica murmured. "Harry, I don't know the why or the how, especially if you two have been friends for awhile. All I saw was him going to Dumbledore and telling him where you could be found. You weren't expecting it and weren't a vampire yet. Even with Viktor's magic and Lucas' strength, you will be overpowered as they hadn't been prepared for such an attack. Others were killed along with you."

Harry had tears streaming down his face. "Were the others a pale male with shoulder length black hair and obsidian eyes, a handsome man with black hair and grey eyes, and another man with brunette hair that was graying and amber eyes?" Erica nodded hesitantly, knowing there was a particular reason that Harry asked about those three individuals. Harry let out an anguished cry that made tears come to all eyes, even the more aloof Sierra who very rarely showed any emotion. "Not them…anyone but there."

"Ssshhhh," Lucas murmured. "We know about the danger; we can stop it from happening now. I promise, we'll make sure all three live out their natural life spans and die from old age. We won't let Erica's vision come to pass." Harry's cries didn't stop though. Lucas felt helpless and he didn't like that feeling. "Viktor, is there something you could do with a wand?" He asked desperately.

Viktor took a bottle out of his pocket. "Snape gave me this in case we needed it." He pried Harry's mouth open while Lucas held his head still. He poured the contents into his mouth. The effects were seen almost immediately as Harry began to slowly calm down. His eyes drooped as Lucas rubbed soothing circles on his back. Lucas stayed kneeling on the floor with Harry securely in his arms.

"Thanks Viktor," Lucas muttered, his eyes still not leaving Harry's form.

Viktor nodded before turning to speak to the other vampires in the room. "Those three people are Harry's family; they're the only father figures, you could say, he's ever known. They mean everything to him and were almost the reason for Harry deciding not to be turned. Harry could never deal with them dying prematurely. As you just witnessed, it would devastate him."

Harry was totally out of it and Viktor's words didn't even register to him. "Lucas, please protect them."

"I promise love, they will not suffer that kind of death. All four of you will be protected and we'll deal with the traitor."

"Viktor?" Harry questioned weakly. Viktor was at his side in a minute. "I'm sorry I didn't listen to your suspicions about Andy. Considering I have been betrayed before, you would think I would be more cautious and listen to warnings. I just didn't want to believe anything bad about my best friend. After all, I've already lost two best friends. Maybe I'm not allowed to have them.

"Hey Hey," Lucas quietly chided Harry. "Don't say that about yourself. I've met Andy and I have never suspected anything untrustworthy about him either and my senses are a lot more keen then yours. Don't blame yourself for believing in him. You do have friends by the way. When you mentioned Andy, you said three other names: Cory, Jacob, and Marti. I know you're extremely close to Cory and you consider him a second best friend. Don't forget that he hasn't betrayed you."

Harry's eyes were sad. "No matter how much I love him, he's a muggle. He can't know that I will become a vampire. As soon as I'm turned, I'm going to have to disappear and he'll never see me again. Andy was a squib who I could be honest with. I could have still seen him after I was turned."

"You can say goodbye to Cory, tell him you're moving away to live with Viktor. Cory knows Viktor isn't from around here, right? If you're in love, he'd expect you to leave. You can still write him and talk on the phone if you want. Andy doesn't deserve your sadness; for whatever reason he betrayed you, he brought it on himself what will happen.

Harry sighed. "I'm glad I never got the chance to tell him about you Lucas or the fact that I'm your mate. He can't give that information to Dumbledore now, which means Dumbledore won't be expecting a vampire attack."

"That's one thing to be thankful for," Lucas kissed Harry's head while Viktor gently took his mouth.

Sierra broke in; she wiped her tears away during the triad's exchange and now was giving off a regal air. "Vampires have their own laws that they abide to and no other legal system can interfere. One of our laws is that if a vampire's mate is threatened, the vampire can take retribution anyway they see fit."

Harry cut in, "But Dumbledore hasn't done anything yet? We only have Erica's foretelling and that shouldn't be enough."

Christopher nodded. "We can take retribution on Andy as soon as possible since he's already committed the crimes if Dumbledore showing up at Viktor's game is any indication. For Dumbledore, We can set up a no danger situation, Lucas do not look at me like that, where Dumbledore will no doubt commit a crime. Harry will be in no real danger Lucas I promise, but to get rid of Dumbledore, this is needed to be done."

Harry nodded, accepting it. "I don't want my godfathers being there though. I don't want them risked at all."

Lucas agreed. He would make sure Harry wasn't in any danger, but Harry would feel more at ease if his godfathers were not there.

They weren't there much longer as Harry wasn't in the mood after finding out about Andy's betrayal. Lucas didn't want to push so they left quickly through the transportation device. That night they didn't make love as Harry had his thoughts turned elsewhere. They just cuddled although Lucas would never use the word allowed.

The next day, Viktor dropped Harry off of the bakery. Lucas had wanted to come but since Andy didn't know about him, he didn't want to take the chance of the traitor seeing them all together. It would only endanger Harry even more. Cory was already there when the two of them arrived and without any warning, Harry through himself at Cory. "Thank you," He whispered.

The other man was quite shocked at Harry's unusual display of emotion, but returned the hug hesitantly. He looked questioningly at the Bulgarian who shrugged helplessly. Harry finally pulled away from the tight hug. "What was that for?"

"I'm just very thankful for your friendship." He smiled a watery smile.

"I'm very thankful for your friendship as well. Did something happen that I should know about?"

Harry shook his head. "I just realized how lucky I am to have you; I really am." He turned away to give Viktor, a short but deep kiss. "Are you picking me up?"

"Yeah, we're going to your godfathers for dinner and then heading to your place.

"Great."

Viktor walked out of the bakery and Harry went to the back to start on a raspberry mousse.

Harry did everything he could to avoid Andy, but he couldn't be outright mean about it. Anything that would tip him off would be dangerous. Remus, Sirius, and Severus helped make excuses for Harry not being able to spend time with him. Remus had to be restrained on more than one occasion because his inner wolf wanted to take retribution on behalf of his injured cub. The only thing that helped was he knew the vampires would make Andy pay.

Harry was eating cold pizza as he couldn't get a hold of either Viktor or Lucas. He was worried, but knew they'd be fine. Suddenly his door banged open. Harry jumped and grabbed a nearby knife, holding it in the defensive. He relaxed after seeing it was Viktor.

Viktor breaths were erratic. "Andy is being held captive with the clan, waiting to be executed. Lucas is there as well. Sierra and Christopher wanted to put him to death right away, but Lucas asked them to wait. He wanted to see if you had anything you wanted to say face to face with Andy in a safe environment." Harry nodded earnestly. "Grab this chain. It was specially made to transport non-vampires."

Harry hesitated only slightly before grabbing hold. Viktor wrapped his arms around Harry's thin waist before pressing the hard to see button. They were gone from Harry's townhouse and landed right outside the throne room, where they had first met Sierra and Christopher.

They slowly walked in, Harry clinging to Viktor's shirt and hiding slightly behind him. Andy was in the middle of the ornate room, bound with ropes. His eyes looked hopeful when they landed on Harry. "Help me! Harry, Help!"

With a squeeze on his hand from Viktor he walked forward. His eyes landed on Lucas and the youngest went over for a kiss. Against his lips, Lucas murmured, "I'm here as is Viktor; say what you need to say to move on from his betrayal." Their mouths pressed harder against each other, before reluctantly pulling away.

Harry's sad eyes landed on Andy who was looking back and forth between Lucas and him. "Do you know why you're here? Erica, the clan seer, looked into a future involving me. Because of a betrayal you committed, Severus, Remus, Sirius, and I were all killed."

"I…I…I don't know what y-you're talking about." Andy stuttered nervously.

Lucas growled from behind Harry. "Don't lie to him you sniveling coward."

Harry ignored Lucas' words. "Erica is never wrong so it's no use lying. Did you plan to betray me when we dated? Was our whole friendship one elaborate plan? Were we ever really friends or did you pull a Ron and Hermione on me?" When Andy remained silent, Harry screamed in rage, "Answer Me!" In a quieter voice, he finished, "I deserve that much."

Andy's eyes were cold. "You had everything, but you threw it away."

"What are you talking about? I lost my two best friends due to lies as well as my magic. I had to learn to live in a new world without something I knew about since I was 11."

"That was your fault; you chose to give up your magic."

"If I didn't, I would have been forced to marry someone I hated. I probably would have ended up committing suicide eventually."

Andy snarled. "I don't feel sorry for you. I wasn't giving the choice of growing up with or without magic. You were lucky enough to have it and you throw it away as if it wasn't worth anything. Dumbledore promised me he'd get me magic if I helped him."

Harry's laugh was harsh. "So it really was all a lie from the start?"

Andy denied that surprising Harry. "I was telling you the truth when I told you I didn't know about the boy-who-lived; my parents really did keep that kind of information from me. I learned about Dumbledore through you. I told them I wanted to contact Albus Dumbledore from England. They didn't understand why, but they helped me, not even bothering to question my motives. I asked him to make a deal with me for information on the great Harry Potter."

Harry had tears streaming down his cheeks. "Why didn't he just come kill me then? He had more than enough opportunity."

"He wanted me to earn your trust a little more; that way the betrayal would be even worse for you. I told him about Viktor when I saw you two together. That's why he went to the quidditch game. He assumed you would be there. If it wasn't for these beasts, I would have my magic, like I so rightfully deserve."

"You did all of this because you were jealous? You're no better than Ron Weasley. You really thought Dumbledore would give you magic. Even if it was possible to give someone magic, I'm not even sure if it is, he'd be more likely to kill you first. You can't trust his word. I know from firsthand experience that his word means nothing."

Harry stepped away, moving into Lucas' loving embrace. Andy looked around, suddenly remembering his predicament. "You're actually going to let them kill me? I'm a human being."

Harry shrugged indifferently. "I am too, but you were going to allow Dumbledore to kill me as well as my godfathers. They can't allow you to live and go run to Dumbledore."

Harry's eyes looked imploringly into Lucas' who nodded in understanding. "Viktor," His deep voice rumbled. "Can you take Harry out of here? I don't think he wants to see the execution. I have to stay as my mate is the one the retribution is being taken for."

Viktor nodded before leading Harry out. When the door closed behind them, they heard a slashing noise, making Harry wince.

That night, the traitor was no more. Harry was able to sleep a bit more at ease, understanding now more than ever that his lovers would do anything they could to protect him.
