Picks up where Nigel comes up to Harry and things go 'yeowza' for Severus and Harry. More family drama and some involvement with the Malfoys keeping updates on Dumbledore and the other anti-Weasleys.

I don't own Harry Potter.

Enjoy!

"Potter."

"Nigel?" Harry slipped his shoes back on and kept his spot in his seat. Nigel looked more upset than before, but what did he want.

"Enjoying your stay here?" a bitter question.

"Yes, it's nice here."

"Well don't get too cozy, you won't be here that long."

'The bloody hell's this man's problem?' "I'm sorry…did I do something to make you…dislike me?" Nigel stepped forward.

"Yes, you were married into my family."

"Look I don't want any trouble, but whatever happened between you and Severus is your business not mine."

"Then why were you asking Joan about it?"

"Well because I knew she wanted to, but she didn't say much." Nigel sneered at him.

"You have no business peering into my personal life Potter." Harry was getting tense, he was really getting annoyed.

"Look I'm not interested in what happened between you and Severus, but I'm his husband and…" he didn't get to finish.

"I could care less if you are his husband, you're just a little showoff with all the 'I killed Lord Voldemort so I deserve special treatment' attitude." That struck a nerve.

"Hold on now, I didn't ask to be the Golden Boy nor did I ask to be given special treatment so you can just shove your grudges up your arse." Harry ducked as Nigel threw a punch at him but felt his lip split open as another pushed him against the wall.

"You little shit!" he punched Harry's face and Harry lowered himself against the wall. Nigel hovered over him and was about to land a kick at him when someone grabbed his arm and yanked him onto the other side.

"Harry!" Ginny and Draco ran over from the door. "Oh my…" Ginny glared at Nigel. "What is your problem!" she helped Harry stand and started nursing his eye.

"What's going on….oh no!" Joan and Eileen ran in to Harry. "Nigel Roland Prince go to your room right now!" Eileen glared angrily and Severus let Nigel leave, but hesitantly.

"Harry what happened?" Ginny.

"He…he came in and just started saying crap about me being the Golden Boy and how I shouldn't be here." Harry wiped the blood off his mouth.

"Severus…maybe you should take Harry out of here." Joan. "We'll handle Nigel."

"No, I will."

"Severus Harry is hurt and needs attention from you, go." Eileen gave Sev a look and he sighed.

"Very well mother; Harry come with me." Harry took Sev's hand and let him lead him away from the others back to their room.

"Damn him!" Harry sat down on the bed as Sev went into their little bathroom and came back with a wet cloth. "I'm sorry Harry, I should've seen this coming." He started wiping the rest of the blood off and put the cleaner end against Harry's eye.

"It's ok, Nigel was just…" Harry didn't know what to say.

"No it's not ok, there's no excuse for his behavior." Harry sighed and leaned into Sev. "I'm sorry, he just gets me so angry sometimes."

"Sev, what's the issue between you and Nigel? Why is he so against you?" Severus sighed.

"Did Joan tell you anything?" Harry nodded.

"Just that he tried to beat you at everything…was that it?" Severus shook his head.

"Harry…Nigel and I used to be close, but after he began school at Durmstrang he changed. He became more, rough and brutal, tried to outwit me at everything and I could never figure it out."

"Did he…get too competitive?" Sev nodded.

"He started challenging me around the house, acting as if everything was a competition. And when I had enough I cornered him and he acted as if I was the bad guy…"

"It sounds like he was jealous of you."

"He was…" Harry thought this through for a second, and then realized something.

"Was it your stepfather's fault?" Severus looked at him. "Did…did he idolize you in some ways?" Severus looked away. "You didn't tell me the whole truth did you?" he shook his head. "You said you barely knew him, was that true?"

"No." Severus looked up at him. "I didn't tell you because I too was…I wasn't too flattered about coming back here."

"Why? Your mum and sister care about you….?"

"Yes but Nigel…Nigel never welcomes me here. I knew he wouldn't welcome you either, but this is the safest place I can think of for us and Draco and Ginny." Sev paused. "Nigel hates me because his father idolized me more." No surprise there.

"You didn't hate the man did you?" Severus shook his head.

"Although I wasn't his, he treated me like his own son. Even after I had joined the death eaters he didn't hate me and neither did my mother, he just said he was disappointed and told me to realize what I had done. After that I had learned of the prophecy concerning you, and when I found out about your mother…well you know the story."

"Did Nigel think that?"

"He began to, but he fails to realize that he pushed himself too far trying to outdo me. He had no motivation, no morals about what he wanted. He loved Nigel, but he always wished he would stop being so competitive."

"What about Joan?"

"She was his little princess, but he didn't spoil her unless she earned it. The same for all of us." Harry hugged Sev around the shoulders. "He was the best father I ever had."

"Oh Sev…that's one of the nicest things I've ever heard you say."

"That's because it's true." Sev kissed his cheek. "Harry, I know Nigel is a dunderhead, but don't hold this over him."

"I won't, but either you knock some sense into him or I'll just ask Joan cuz I know she's dying to." Harry laughed and received another kiss for a reward.

"I'll go talk to him, but you…" he tapped Harry's nose. "Stay out of trouble." Severus stood up and left Harry alone in the room, and as he stepped outside closing the door Joan came over to him.

"Sevvy?" her nickname for him.

"I'm going to see Nigel Joanie, don't try and stop me." She smirked.

"Now why would I do that? I just came to check on Harry."

"He's resting right now, what say you and I pay Nigel a visit?"

"You read my mind big bro." she followed him to Nigel's room where they could hear their mother screaming at him through the door.

"This time you're going over the limit Nigel! I cannot believe you went this low!"

"Mother?" Joan knocked on the door.

"Come in Joanie." She opened the door and while Eileen was standing Nigel was on the bed. "Severus…?"

"I need to speak with Nigel alone mother." Nigel glared up at him.

"Well…alright, Joan come…"

"She can stay." Eileen just shrugged and left them alone. "Now…mind explaining why you attacked my husband?"

"Your little whore shot his mouth off so I shut him up." Strike one.

"Do not call Harry a whore Nigel, he's just a kid. From what I saw you were the one who started it all." Joan.

"He's the Golden Boy, he's bound to have shagged multiple girls and boys…just can't see what he sees in you." Strike two.

"You're pushing it Nigel, and I'm sure that mother won't object to letting Severus pound you."

"Like I care if he does or not, just proves he's all brawn and no brains." Strike three. Severus pinned Nigel to the bed and snarled at him.

"You will not insult me or Harry as long as we're here, I don't care if we are brothers I will personally tear you apart if you don't stop this jealous charade of yours!"

"Oh now you say we're brothers?" Severus was about to punch Nigel but Joan stopped him.

"Hold on, alright Nigel I want to know what's going on? You used to be a good brother and now you're turning into that one relative no one understands or wants to be around. What is your problem?" Joan crossed her arms and gave the exact same look Severus would give when one of his students was caught.

"You too huh? You also support this sham of a marriage?"

"This isn't a sham Nigel, Severus loves Harry and Harry loves him what's wrong with that?"

"He probably married the kid to get a free pass from Azkaban, or just for his status."

"Harry's not a child, he's an adult in the eyes of the law and he's free to make his own choices. If he wasn't then those Weasleys would have forced him to marry their daughter." Joan sighed. "I don't understand you anymore Nigel, so negative about everything just because of jealousy. You are not the brother I loved as a child." Nigel's eyes widened.

"Nor are the same one for me." Severus. "I know you were jealous of me being favored by your father, my stepfather, but I wasn't trying to steal him if that's what you thought. Frankly I don't care what you think anymore, because you lost yourself the minute you stepped into Durmstrang's halls."

"What Severus means Nigel, is that if you can't accept him and Harry, then you can't accept anyone in the family including me."

"You can't be serious. " Nigel.

"I am serious, I was hoping you would see light for once but obviously that won't happen. And if you try and make me or mother choose sides then I can honestly say we'd choose Severus."

"No."

"Yes Nigel, that's my choice. You disgust me with your homophobic praises and jealousy. You are not my brother anymore." Joan turned to the door.

"Wait…Joanie…"

"Don't call me that, you lost every right to call me that when you hurt Harry." She walked out and shut the door behind her.

"Now look what you've done, turning my own little sister against me!" Nigel snarled at Severus.

"Don't blame me, if you weren't so thickheaded you would see this is your fault. Unless you decide to be truthful for once in your life then stay away from Harry, or the next time you'll lose a limb or two." Severus stormed out of the room and slammed the door behind him. As he walked down the halls he heard Harry crying in their room. "Harry?" Harry looked up from his spot and Severus took him into his arms.

"S-Sev…" he held onto him.

"What's wrong?"

"I-I…I heard…" Severus's eyes widened. Did he hear everything? "The vent…was open…" Severus looked over at the wall and saw the vent opened, damn how could he forget the vents were connected to the rooms.

"You heard everything didn't you?" Harry nodded.

"I don't want your family breaking up over me…"

"Harry we're not breaking up, Nigel's just being an arse. My mother and sister both adore you, and they don't care what Nigel thinks anymore."

"But…"

"Harry no, don't think about that just relax and dry your tears. Nothing's wrong with us, only my idiot brother thinks so." Harry smiled at him and Severus kissed his lips. "I love you too much to hurt you." Harry hugged him and let Severus kiss down his neck to soothe him.

"I love you too Sev." They sat there and Severus continued to comfort his love when someone knocked at the door.

"Sev, Harry the Malfoys are back." Joan called and they followed her to Draco and Ginny's room. "Draco, your parents are here." The sound of ruffling feet was heard and Draco and Ginny both came out looking disheveled.

"Oh brother…can't you keep in your pants for one day?" Severus groaned.

"Like you can't." both couples followed Joan into the family room where Lucius, Narcissa, and Eileen were waiting.

"Harry what happened to your eye?" Narcissa.

"Nigel, but that's not important. What's up?" Severus sat Harry down and Draco sat with Ginny.

"We've been keeping tabs on the other Weasleys, and other than your oldest brothers Ginny your parents and Percy and Ronald are demanding the Ministry set out a search to find you and Harry. Kingsley keeps telling them he can't do it without probable cause but they refuse to listen."

"Typical, what about Dumbledore?"

"He's trying to also, but so far we've blocked all of his attempts. He's even tried to search our home but no one knows of this place." Harry turned to Severus.

"Does Dumbledore know about your family?" Severus shook his head.

"I never talked of family other than my mother to anyone but Lucius."

"What about Ron and Hermione?" Lucius scoffed.

"Those two have been sending letters demanding we release you from whatever spell you're under, they refuse to listen to anyone."

"Don't worry about Dumbledore, Minerva will keep an eye on him." Narcissa smiled. "Is Nigel at it again Severus?"

"Unfortunately yes, but if he dares come near Harry again I'll personally tear him to pieces."

"Severus…"

"I'm sorry mother but he's gone over the limit, it's one thing to verbally harass me but to physically assault my husband is going too far."

"He's right mother." Joan.

"And I'm inclined to agree, but please don't kill him Severus."

"I won't, I'll just make him into a vegetable." He snickered. "Lucius, Narcissa why don't you stay here as well?" he looked at Eileen and she smiled.

"It would be nice to have more company, a family vacation of sorts."

"We appreciate the offer, but we have a lot to do ourselves. And we need to keep tabs on the others…" Lucius held Narcissa's hand in his own.

"I understand, but at least spend the night if you wish. I would love for you to join us for dinner."

"That would be lovely, Lucius?"

"Fine with me, one night won't hurt." He looked at Draco. "As long as we're not awoken by your love rituals."

"FATHER!" everyone started laughing and soon Harry felt so much better with his entire 'family' around him.

Hope you liked it!
