A/N: First off i would love to give a shout out to IDreamOfYarn (did I get your name right hon?) who always signs in as a guest but always leaves me the cutest most hilarious little blurbs. Please know that every time you review you make me smile and giggle! I love the rambling and I hope my other stories can capture your attention as much as this on has.
Secondly, almost done guys! I'm afraid back when I wrote this story, I was suuuuuper impatient with moving things along so my stories never last long lol! But there is just this chapter and then the epilogue -sobs-
My baby is doing great for those that want to know, and other than being tired, the room is set up to welcome his arrival :3...I hope you enjoy this next chapter! It's super long!
Harry sighed as he leaned against the wall that the door to the Room of Requirement stood. Beside him, just as bored as he was, was his Uncle Rabastan. The halls were clear at the moment, and even though both were unconcerned with being found, it was relieving not having to ask for back up when the last preparations for the up coming battle were going on in said room.
"Are you excited, Uncle?"
He received a grunt and his lips twitched into a playful smile.
"Aw, is my beloved Uncle Rab bored?"
His uncle glared at him mockingly but even he was hard pressed not to smile. Gently he smacked his nephew on the arm. He, like many of the others of Harry's extended family, was thrilled about the new additions. And like the others, he was equally worried for Harry's, and the triplets' safety. That on top of being ecstatic over the battle that would be taking place hours from now, had set many on edge, him included.
Sighing, he absently reached out and placed a calm hand on his nephew's bulging stomach. He was so proud of Harry. So thankful.
"Yes, I'm excited, young wolf. And yes. At the moment I am bored."
Harry's silver- green orbs widened at the concern but he smiled. It was something he was still getting used to. This everyone-caring-about-him thing. It was still a surprising thing to him that his mates even cared. No one, maybe except his older mate and his aniki, could know just how much it all meant to him. Crossing his arms over his chest, Harry blew a lock of his now shortened hair from his face. It now curved around his face in layered unruly cuts.
He still looked stunning. Added with the natural pregnant glow, he was an absolutely beautiful sight.
"I hope everything goes alright. I want this over with so that I can have my babies in a safer world." Harry remarked, his eyes somewhat distant. Rabastan nodded his agreement.
"Don't worry, nephew. If I have to kill them myself, all who harmed you will perish tonight so that you, your children, and your mates can live full lives." The younger Lestrange vowed.
Harry nodded and they stayed together in a companionable silence until the door opened and Draco stepped out, along with Severus, Tom, and half a dozen death eaters. Harry stepped away from the door and was immediately embraced by his brother.
"So?"
"They are in my dungeons. Lucius and Narcissa are guarding them so that you may kill them after all this is done."
Harry nodded.
"And Neville? Luna? The Twins?"
Draco smirked.
"Those few who were loyal but wished to remain neutral are at the manor."
"Who stayed?"
Severus rolled his eyes and stepped aside, revealing the Weasley Twins. Harry smiled softly as their grins widened.
"Hello brother dear-"
"It's been so awful-"
"-lonely without you-"
"-so we thought we'd help you-"
"-you know to keep you safe and all."
Harry snorted.
"I'll be safe. Uncle Rab is watching me in Sev's rooms. You just want an excuse to curse your classmates who laughed at your ideas, your family who blatantly dismissed you as being stupid because you like pranks, and the headmaster for fucking with my life."
He was rewarded with twin smirks of dark glee as well as a thorough kiss on the lips from both. Which earned them a heated moan from Harry (who seemed to be in a constant state of hour invests now), and growls of irritation from Tom, Severus, and Draco. When the twins stepped back, Harry whimpered and then cried out suddenly as his lops and neck were simultaneously assaulted with possessive nips and kisses by his mates. The Twins smirked and shivered as they watched Harry get ravished by his mates. Even the other Death Eaters present had a hard time looking away or not feeling aroused. Tome noticed their looks of lust and snorted.
::Oh fuck!:: Harry hissed in parsle and Tom shuddered in arousal.
Finally, Harry was released from their hold and enveloped in a protective hug. Draco from behind and Sev from in front, a habit they'd fallen into.
"Unless otherwise stated you red headed ruffians will keep your paws off of our mate." Stated Severus, his black eyes growling impossibly darker as his vampire raged.
Likewise, Draco's veela side had reared it's head, causing the blond to nuzzle and sniff his mate, effectively marking him with his scent. Harry on the other hand was feeling entirely too boneless to care. Four brilliant snogs in one sitting will do that to you. He was brought out of his hate when he felt Hogwarts' warning thrum through his veins.
Trouble.
"Someone is here," he rasped.
Both of his mates straightened and Sev turned, blocking Harry from sight. The other Death Eaters formed a wall on either side of Harry, Draco and Sev. Tom placed a comforting hand on his baby brother, sending love to him through their link. Nervousness, worry, and unconditional love filtered back and Tom smirked. Surprise flitted across the faces of the three who rounded the corner.
"Snape!" Shouted the first, voice filled with hate and loathing.
"Weasel."
"Now I'm very disappointed in you, my boy. I thought with your vow to protect Harry that you wouldn't have sided with his murderers." Came the second vile voice of the headmaster.
Harry growled and was closely mimicked but most everyone around him. Rabastan bared his teeth, McNair narrowed his eyes. Bellatrix snorted. The Carrow twins glared balefully and Rodolphus, standing beside his son and wife, merely chuckled at the Light's stupidity. Severus flinched when he felt his lord's oppressive magics flare in his anger. Tom stepped forward.
"I didn't kill young Harry. He left of his own free will. He's never been happier. Tell me, headmaster. Why did you allow Harry to be so thoroughly beaten and down trodden?" Tom bit out.
However, it wasn't the old wizard who replied but Hermione.
"That little freak deserved it! He was gay and hard for Malfoy! On top of that, he was the son of that filthy mutt and rabid wolf. He deserved to be beaten! In fact this summer we were going to let him be raped." She boasted proudly; even Ron smirked.
Harry breathed in sharply, leaning heavily on Draco, as he paled and his knees buckled.
"Ry! Shit! My lord!" Draco called in fear.
Harry's eyes had succeeded in rolling slightly and his hands instinctively covered over his babies. Tom pushed through his ranks and picked up his brother, cradling the younger wolf in his arms and his Death Eaters once more surrounded him. Dumbledore eyes narrowed.
"Why do you have young Nathair in your ranks?"
Severus, who'd frozen when his love had collapsed, snarled and stepped forward slightly.
"He is more protected by our lord than he could ever be by you." Severus spun to his lord with pleading eyes,"My lord, please. He needs to be safe."
Tom raised a brow but he understood the urgency. He needed Narcissa to care for Harry until all was safe.
"T-Tom?" Came his otouto's voice.
Tom stared at his brother and his breath caught at the absolute rage in his eyes.
::Murder them, aniki. Murder them for me. And please bring yourself and everyone back safe. Do this and I promise that as soon as my babies are born I will give you an heir. My mates have already agreed.::
Although the younger wizard's eyes were steel, his voice was gentle and soft, full of love. Tom closed his eyes a moment, swallowing the lump in his throat that had formed with such tender words. Finally, a blood thirsty grin stretched across his face and he nodded.
::You have my word, my little wolf. I will make them suffer. For you and your children mean more to me than anything.:: the Dark Lord confessed.
Harry's eyes widened.
"My lord?"
"Don't worry Young Draco, your babies are safe. Rabastan!"
Said Lestrange stepped forward closely shadowed by his brother and sister in law. Bella looked on, worried for her adopted son and nephew. Rodolphus' eyes narrowed in hatred towards the three Light wizards mere feet away.
"Rabastan. Take Harry to Cissa and Luc. They will make sure the babies are safe and that Harry is kept calm. When you are done, return. Today is a day of blood baths." The Dark Lord's eyes were a dark red, his rage was so sincere.
Rabastan nodded and cradled his nephew when said wolf's body was transferred to his arms.
"Save some for me, my lord." He commented dryly.
Bella kissed Harry's forehead, closely followed by Sev and Draco.
"Make sure you guys come home safe ok?" Harry whispered, looking around to his lovers, brother, and family -adopted, blood, and Death Eater.
They all nodded, silently vowing revenge for what would have been down, what had been done, and what had been caused by the Light to happen by their manipulations. The Twins' faces for once showed utter anger.
"Give them hell, Fred and George." Harry smiled at them tiredly, his body finally succumbing to the stress of everything.
Seriously saluting him, they turned their attention to the small gathering of Light wizards. With a final bow Rabastan and Harry, with the help of Hogwarts, apparated from the ancient castle. Once he was gone, Tom and the other wizards dropped their concealed powers and it was as if a black cloud surrounded them and billowed out.
"Who is that child that you all protect him so much? Ron sneered in disgust.
Fred and George sauntered forward and hermione's eyes widened even as Ron's narrowed.
"Hello, Ronnekins! Fancy meeting you here!"
"If we'd known all of you were behind our baby brothers pain-"
"-we'd have offed you sooner-"
"-much sooner." The Twins snarled back and forth.
Ron's nose wrinkled in confusion.
"I thought Harry was your brother."
Dumbledore choked.
"No."
Tom's smirk was anything but amused as he once more stepped in front of his Death Eaters.
"Oh yes. Young Nathair is in fact my brother, Bella and Rodolphus' adopted son, Severus and Draco's mate, and you know him as Harry Potter."
If possible, Dumbledore paled so much you could almost count the smallest veins in his face. Hermione gasped.
"That filthy halfbreed has been at the school this whole time and we never knew!?"
Dumbledore glared at the Dark wizards.
"Clever glamour he wears."
Severus snorted.
"Fool. That is how he actually looks without all of your fallacies included. He takes an awful lot after his father. I think maybe Sirius Black would be proud with how far his son has progressed. Even if he was mated to me."
Draco grunted but otherwise stayed silent. Tom chuckled and tenderly stroked his wand.
"Don't you see, old man? You treated him with hatred. Lies. Falsehoods. We, the supposed Darkside, the great evil, gave him exactly what he needed. Love, safety, friendship, family and we gave him truth. Because of this I'm going to be an Uncle and soon...very soon...if his mates permit, I'll be able to have a son of my own. This child you threw away, he loves so unconditionally and he has given hope back to those whose hope you stole. And now, you will pay for causing my otouto pain. If he loses these cubs because of you and your Light I will resurrect you just to kill you again."
Pausing in his tirade to glance at his Death Eaters, he gave a subtle nod. The Death Eaters stepped forward as one and defended on the trembling Light.
::For you, otouto. Are the triplets ok?:: Tom hissed mentally.
::Yes. Cissa said that because of all the protective spells the cubs are safe. If they hadn't...oh...thank you for sending Melvin and Eugene here.::
Tom chuckled. Eugene was a Ravenclaw they'd found a few days before. He claimed he was Melvin's biological brother. Their mother and father had apparently been hunted down by Ministry officials until they'd been killed when Eugene was seven and Melvin a newborn. The two had been placed in separate secluded and cruel orphanages until a loving family had adopted Eugene. He'd planned on going back for his brother but by then the younger cub had been moved to a new hell hole.
When Eugene had seen Melvin at the Sorting he'd kept an eye on the cub. When he'd seen how protected he'd become by Harry and Draco he became intrigued. Finally, he'd gotten up the courage to tell his brother the truth. After confirming it through potions, Eugene had been adopted into Harry's ever growing family.
Eugene hadn't looked back and since he was of age and his foster parents were now dead, he resided in the manor. Tom had been ok with the new addition. He would never begrudge his brother new pack mates as long as they protected him. Eugene had readily agreed. Now Melvin and Eugene rarely left Harry's side. It was rather amusing.
::You are welcome, little wolf. Get some sleep. We'll be home soon, Dumbles' head on a platter and your betrayers strung up in the halls by their intestines.::
Harry's arousal filtered through the bond they shared and Tom cackled, garnering the attention of his followers.
::Fuck you, Tom.::
::Goodnight, cub::
::See you soon, Tom::
Cutting off the connection he turned to his followers and his malicious grin broke through.
"The babies and Harry are fine. So fly my Death Eaters. Fly and feast and destroy. Bring down those who brought us all pain. Avenge my baby brother who couldn't join us."
Right then Rabastan appeared and cackled.
"Your triplets kicked out a super amount of calming dark magic for their mother as he was anxious when I left. Even Narcissa laughed her arse off."
Severus shook his head in amusement and Draco scoffed.
"Let's go children," Tom drawled and they advanced.
The fight for freedom began.
