This is a brief side chapter to where it starts off with the Weasleys and leaks into something else going on with Harry and Severus. I can say now it will end with someone getting sick.
I don't own Harry Potter.
Enjoy!
The Burrow:
Ever since Harry and Ginny vanished from Hogwarts the rest of the Weasley clan had been trying everything to locate them; unfortunately Kingsley caught on and sent them a letter saying the kids didn't want to be found and that he'd given them permission along with the school governors to leave Hogwarts in light of the circumstances. Molly had thrown a fit along with Ron and Hermione, as did Percy but the rest just ignored it.
As of right now Molly had invited the twins over for lunch and they made her promise not to bring up Harry and Ginny if they did. Arthur had been quiet for a while, but Ron and Hermione were going nuts not knowing where to start looking for their ex-friends.
"Oi Mum, Dad we're here." Fred and George went through the floo and were surprised to see Ron there with Hermione. "What're you two doing here?"
"Dumbledore let us come over for lunch, but we need to be back before the Hogsmeade trip ends." Hermione answered.
"Isn't that against the rules?" Gred.
"Not unless the headmaster says it's alright."
"If there's a legitimate reason, which I'm sure you don't have." Forge.
"Hey we only came cuz mum asked us to." Ron came to Hermione wrapping his arm around her. "Don't get all high and mighty on us just cuz you're older." The twins rolled their eyes.
"Come into the kitchen, lunch is almost ready!" Molly called from the kitchen and they went in seeing Arthur and Percy sitting at the table.
"Hello Dad." The twins sat on the other side of Arthur.
"Hello boys, Hermione."
"Mr. Weasley." Everyone took a seat and dishes of food were coming along onto the table. Molly came in with cups of tea floating behind her and sat down at the other end of the table.
"So boys, how are things at the shop?" Fred and George ate their food quietly.
"Fine, business is great." Fred.
"Any new products coming in?"
"Not yet, but we do have some new fireworks coming next month, from New Zealand."
"Oh?"
"Not sure what they do yet, they haven't been fully tested." George.
"And you Ron, how's school?" he shrugged.
"Same old, quiet except with Quidditch."
"What's happened with Quidditch?" Arthur.
"Most of our matches are canceled because Harry and Ginny left, and they can't find anyone willing to take the position of captain/seeker and chaser. It sucks."
"Oh well I'm sure Harry and Ginny will be back soon." Molly passed the beans to the twins but they glared at her. "What is it?"
"What did we tell you when we said we'd come over?" they asked.
"Now boys I was just answering Ronald, nothing more."
"We made you promise, regardless of what's been said."
"What promise?" Arthur.
"We told her not to bring up Harry and Ginny at all if we came over, and she just blew it." Fred growled and saw the twinkle of emotions flooding in Ron's eyes. "Thanks for lunch, but we'll be going now."
"Boys all I said was they'll be back, that's no reason to leave." They turned to her.
"They won't be back as long as you keep up this delusion of them getting married. All the money's been returned, and Ginny and Harry are both married so let's just leave it at that."
"You mean they finally did it?" Ron stood from his seat. "They're married to each other now?" George smacked him on the head, hard. "OW!"
"George!" Molly ran to Ron's aid.
"Harry is married to Severus and Ginny is married to Draco, you dunderheaded fool!" Fred pulled George back. "We're leaving."
"No boys, you don't have to leave." Arthur stood. "Let's just sit back down and eat."
"Not if you're all still hell-bent on Harry and Ginny's marriages."
"That's it!" Percy slammed his fist onto the table. "How can you two just go along with this? Ginny is married to a snake of all people and Harry to someone twice his age, it's not right!"
"They are in love Percival." Fred used his full name. "Simple as that, besides you should've known all those times Ginny was acting as if she were alright with this. She doesn't want her life decided for her and so she chose her own way."
"He's a death eater!"
"He was cleared because they defected, but none of you seem to realize that. Harry and Severus are a match made in heaven too, his parents would be proud."
"No they would not!" Molly shouted that time. "Lily and James would want Harry to settle down with a young woman his age, and have a proper family not some shaggy old Potions Master."
"You don't know anything, you never really knew James and Lily that well anyway." George turned to Hermione and Ron. "Let me guess you two have been up to no good again? Frolicking in the restricted section again looking for ways to break the bonding marriages?" Hermione's eyes widened. "Hah, knew it."
"Those men are not suitable for your sister and Harry, they are destined to be with each other."
"Sorry mum, but again you're wrong. And seeing as this lunch was obviously a set up to get information possibly, you won't be hearing from either of us, or Bill, or Charlie, not even Ginny will talk to you. Good day." They turned back to the door.
"Fred George come back here this instant!" Molly shouted after them and they apparated the minute they stepped foot outside, back to their flat above the shop. The two took a deep breath, and then smirked at each other.
"Did you set it Fred?" Forge held up an ear, a new product called 'Ultra Extendable Ears'.
"Nice and hidden Georgie." Gred pointed his wand at the ear. "Maximo." The ear grew larger and some clear voices started coming through.
"Well that didn't work." Percy.
"Oh I knew this was a bad idea, mum why did you have to bring them up so soon? Now they're bound to know we're onto them." Ron.
"Don't worry, Hermione I'm sure you've already found some information we can offer to Albus don't you?" Molly.
"Well I haven't found anything on breaking the bonds, everything I look at says the breaking can only be done by the couples themselves and in their own free will. Otherwise it could be fatal to them both…"
"Have you found anything on where they could be?"
"No, no family records of any properties under the name Potter or Snape."
"Dumbledore won't like this." Percy. "But wait, wasn't Snape's mother a Prince?"
"Oh no." the twins' eyes widened.
"Yes, but she cut off contact with her family after she married a muggle. Disowned I saw it in the newspaper article."
"Then we're at an end." Arthur. "Forget about this right now, let's just finish eating."
"We cannot ignore this anymore Arthur, Hermione check everything you can on the Prince Family. Perhaps Snape has some family around here that may have helped him."
"No." Fred immediately went and took out a quill and paper.
"Hold on." George held up a hand still listening into the ear.
"Molly, maybe we should just give up." Arthur? "Ginny has always been the rebel, and now she's married into a good family."
"She's married into a death eater family Arthur! I won't have my precious daughter ruined by those people, nor will I have my future son-in-law brainwashed by that two-faced spy! They will marry and we'll be better off end of discussion!"
"Did you hear that?" George shrank the ear.
"Yeah…" if their dad was giving up then, was he coming around, or did he know something they didn't? "Warn the others, make sure Harry still has the map." Fred scribbled down immediately, then folded the letter and gave it to their new owl Fergus.
"Take that to Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley." The owl hooted and flew off out the window.
Prince Manor:
Things had calmed down a little at the manor, but they were also slightly chaotic now that Regulus and Nigel rekindled their relationship. The two were hardly seen; unless you walked by their room and heard the noises then you'd run and pretend you didn't hear a thing. Poor Sev coming across a really passionate moment and came back to his and Harry's room covering his head with a pillow trying to block the sounds.
'Poor Sev.' Harry was walking to their room looking for his husband when he heard a faint noise come from inside. It sounded like, groaning and…gurgling sounds? "Sev?" he walked into the room and the noises came from the bathroom. "Sev are you alright?" he knocked on the door.
"Go away." He sounded hoarse.
"Sev it's Harry, are you alright?" he cracked the door and saw Severus bending over the toilet, vomiting his guts out. "Oh no." Harry rushed to his side and rubbed his back.
"Ugh…dammit…" Severus leaned up and wiped his mouth with a rag.
"What's wrong? You eat something bad?"
"I think so…but I…oh damn!" he puked again and Harry patted his shoulder. "Hand me…that potion on the sink." Harry spotted two.
"Which one?"
"The green one." Harry picked up said vial and handed it to Sev who gulped it down. "Ugh…better."
"How long have you been sick?" Harry helped him stand and led him to their bed.
"Since this morning, nothing but vomit everywhere." Harry kissed his cheek.
"Well don't worry, it's probably just a bug." He wrapped his arms around Sev's shoulders and kissed his neck, then trailed up to his ear.
"Not now." Sev stopped him with a hand on his mouth.
"Aw come on, it'll make you feel better."
"No."
"Please?"
"No Harry."
"Please please?"
"I said no."
"Please please please?" Sev smacked his head. "Ow!"
"No means no, get it straight." He stood up and then a knock came at the door. "Come in." in walked Ginny and Draco.
"We just got a letter from Fred and George." She handed it to Harry and he read it over.
Harry,
Hope all's well with you and your new family, and hope all's well with Ginny and Draco. Sorry to put a slight damper on your little peaceful home but we have a problem.
Mum and Dumbledore have Hermione looking around in the restricted section of Hogwarts for any clues on how to break the bonds, but that's not all; they also have her looking under ancient families to see if there's any chance you could be hiding under the Prince name.
Keep an eye out and notify Kingsley at once.
Be safe.
Your brothers,
Gred and Forge.
"That bitch!" Harry crumpled the letter.
"What is it?" Severus.
"Hermione's snooping around trying to find information on your family, and trying to find a way to break the bonds."
"What?" Severus snatched the letter and read it over. "Well we won't have to worry too much; all my family's information is confidential and no longer anywhere in Hogwarts. She won't be able to find us unless she has connections past Kingsley."
"Good luck with that." Draco held Ginny's hand. "Are you alright Severus? You look paler than usual."
"I'm fine, just had a stomach bug is all." Severus stood up.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes I'm sure, now let's get going we should be expecting Kingsley soon anyway." Harry took Sev's hand and helped him out to the hallway, but as they walked he noticed Sev's footing was off slightly.
"Sev maybe you should go lie down, you look like you're about to collapse."
"I'm fine Harry, don't worr…" Severus' grip in Harry's hand went slack and he soon fell back against the wall, then to the floor.
"SEV!"
