A/N: Thank Lady Uraquentha for this latest chapter! She suggested this. I figured I'd slip a Kitsune Harry into the mix, since I haven't done that one yet! I'm also rather fond of the name Castiel... As if you hadn't noticed by now. Non-compliant with DH; well, the deaths and the Epilogue, but it's pretty much the same 'verse. Review or PM your request (as usual) and enjoy this one!

DISCLAIMER: No matter how much I wave my wand, I will never own Sev and our favorite green-eyed Wizard. *sobs*

WARNING: Yaoi (boyXboy) is an important part of these. If you don't like, DON'T READ. Please desist in flaming. This starts with smut, so if you don't like it, SKIP IT; it is quite clearly marked. There is also M-Preg (male pregnancy). I apologize for those of you who understand and enjoy this, but I get idiots who try and flame me every now and again.

P.S. There may be more than one title that gets a continuation; Dragon's Might, Dragon's Might II... etc.

-Sunset Cottage-

A tentative knock on the front door, mere minutes after he'd convinced his youngest to take a nap, made him growl lowly. Castiel, his oldest, perked up black fox ears and wagged his tails. Golden eyes locked with his own green, asking with what Harry termed 'cute kit' face.

"Da, can I answer the door?"

"Sure. Glamour first."

"Yes Da." Cas glamoured his tails and ears, then opened the door to Hermione, holding onto Rose's hand. Her honey-brown eyes widened in shock as she looked from his son to him. "Hello. Would you like to come inside?"

"Of course..." 'Mione murmured faintly, stepping inside the warm cottage. "Harry, can we talk? Rose, sweetie, this is-"

"Castiel. Play nice, Cas."

"Dad, I know." And Castiel is serious, his golden eyes somber. Harry sighs and motions for Hermione to join him in his study.

"Well?" he asks, pouring tea for them both.

"You have... children. With who?" her response was careful, her question not as belligerent as he'd imagined.

"Severus. It's so complicated... I didn't want you to know." The expression of understanding makes him sniffle lightly. Then he's crying and she's soothing him. "It started with my Inheritance, you know."

"Did it? I didn't think you'd had one, except for that ENERGY that just rolled off of you."

"Umm, I'm a Kitsune." He drops his glamour, reveling in the soft scratches behind his ears.

"How many tails?" she asked, completely nonpulssed by his confession. How could she be? He drops the other and she sighs.

"Nine. I should've known."

"It was the Hallows. I had five to start with." he murmured, stretching out along the couch and enjoying the petting.

"So... Severus. You mean Professor Snape?"

"Mmmhmm, the one and only. It was an accident, really. I wasn't feeling so hot in the months after my transition and I'd read somewhere that I needed someone to balance me... He came right when my glamours failed. Surprise of all surprises? He pulled off his robes and hid me until we reached his quarters. Then came the... kisses. Merlin, it was all I could do not to give in. I felt like I was HOME." Hermione giggled.

"Sounds like when I'm with Ron. So? Is Castiel your only kit?"

"No. J.T. and Altäir are asleep. I've got another one on the way."

"J.T.?"

"Mmm, James Tobias. We named him after both our Dads. We actually weren't expecting Altäir. Still, I think I was the most surprised when Severus came up with the name when we found out we had twins..."

"Harry, not spilling any other details, I assume? Mrs. Weasley." Severus snarked dryly from the doorway. "What's this about yet another kit, my little fox?" She helped him stand up then sauntered past his husband as though she'd been doing it forever.

"Hermione." she called out as she left the room. "Mrs. Weasley reminds me too much of Molly." Harry clasped their hands and placed the strong hand against his abdomen.

"I'm not showing yet, but I've had morning sickness for the past three weeks, Sev." Dark eyes softened and took on a loving look.

"So soon after the twins?"

"I wanted a big family with you... Are you not-Hmm." Severus gave him a long, slow kiss, making him a little light-headed.

"Yes, Harry. I love this one as I have all others. I am merely worried for your health." The slender fingers brushed across his cheek in a loving gesture.

-PoV-

Severus smiled as Harry animatedly told the story of the time he'd been caught without his invisibility cloak in the Tower.
"And this was right afterwe'd gotten Norbert away from Hogwarts! It turned out that Norbert was actually a Norberta..." Castiel giggled, while the twins squealed with delight. Rose, Hermione's daughter, giggled after Castiel had. Hermione rolled her eyes but indulged his little fox with a smile. Harry laughed at that, claiming it was bed for the kits. They protested until Harry promised to tell about the time he broke into Gringotts.

"Really? Guys, come on!" Castiel took the lead, seeing as he'd be at Hogwarts in a short while.

"O'tay!" the twins chorused, bright smiles on the nearly identical faces. J.T. had darker green eyes than Altäir, and had at least a few centimeters on his brother. Only he and Harry could tell the difference. Rose yawned, then leaned against her mother.

"I think it's time for us to be going. Harry and Severus, lovely seeing you again. You want to set up a play date with Hugo and the twins? They're about the same age."

"That's great. Umm, next week Thursday? Oh, and tell Ron. He'll work through it in time for the date." Hermione (as she insisted he call her) smiled, the shook her head ruefully.

"Ron knew something was up when you didn't want to marry Ginny. This shouldn't shock him too much."

But they had yet another visitor to deal with in the weeks to come; Remus Lupin. Severus answered the door and had been literally sucker-punched in the gut by an enraged werewolf.

"How could you!"the man roared, murder in the golden gaze.

"Remus! Shite, come in." The werewolf swept into their tiny home, only to be confronted by his sleeping kits. "Now, sit down and shut up. We'll adjourn to my study in a moment. Let me see to Severus and then we'll talk." Soft prodding made him hiss, but Harry performed several Healing spells at once, ensuring he healed quickly and without their kits noticing. They were all puppy-piled on the living room floor, Castiel curled about the twins and being used as a pillow. Remus gasped, then sorrow welled up in the familiar eyes.

"I'm sorry, Severus." A sneer curled his lip but he waved off the unwanted apology. "I probably should leave."

"No, it's high-time my kits got to know Uncle Moony. And you need to know about us." Harry stated firmly, planting his hands on his hips.

By the time the werewolf knew, he and the kits were settled in to dinner.

"Are you Uncle Moony?" Castiel asked, eyes hopeful. Severus would curse the mangy werewolf if he messed this up. A smile was seen, then he opened his arms. The kits piled in, making pleased noises.

"Yes. I have my own pup about your age, Castiel. His name's Teddy."

"Oh, good. I'll know some people before I go to Hogwarts." The relieved smile on Harry's face was worth every bit of pain from Lupin's punch.

-PoV-

Harry hustled his kits onto the Platform, hugging his eldest tightly.

"Now, here's the Map and Cloak. No sneaking around unless you have to and prank in good nature only." he said, handing over the package.

"Use them responsibly, Castiel. Don't be a nuissance like your Dad was." Severus put in, a small smile on his face as Cas rolled his eyes.

"Severus?" At Malfoy's voice, his husband tensed and drew his wand. "I thought-Oh." Castiel looked back and forth between the two men before shrugging and hugging his siblings.

"I'll see you on Yule, Dad and Father."

"Bye!" the twins said sadly, ears drooping beneath the glamours.

"Behave, brats."

"Never!" They shared a laugh before Castiel boarded the train and was off on his Hogwarts adventure. Harry turned and lifted a child onto each hip, his wand holstered on his forearm.

"Malfoy." He said neutrally.

"Potter."

"It's Prince, actually. Sev's amazing." he replied, nuzzling the twins and leaning into the seemingly casual arm around his waist.

"Oh. Severus, you never mentioned..."

"Of course not, Draco. Perhaps you'd like to visit our home?" the smooth tone told Harry he should get going with his husband before Malfoy said something stupid.

"Sev? We have that appointment?" Severus pulled him closer and smiled into his hair.

"Thank you, little fox." he heard before his husband pulled away. "Yes, that one." Malfoy looked astonished. "Floo over at your earliest convience; the address is Sunset Cottage." Severus finished quietly, guiding them to the St. Mungo's Floo.

The appointment went off without a hitch, his cubs vaccinated and his pregnancy confirmed. Harry was in a much better mood than he had been this morning. He missed Castiel with a dull ache. He was surprised to see a letter from Castiel so soon, but opened it when they got home.

Dear Da, Papa, J.T. and Alty,

Wow! You weren't kidding when you said the castle was big... Umm, sorry for wandering off topic. I got Sorted into Ravenclaw. Teddy and Rose are here with me. I met this absolute snob on the train. Said his name was Scorpious Malfoy. He insulted Teddy and Rose before he left with a pair of goons. Glad he got Sorted into Slytherin; can't stand the prick.

It's amazing here. I'll write three times a week, like I promised. Teddy and Rose think it's a great idea and are writing to their parents too. It threw them off for a bit that you're famous, Da, but they took it in stride.

Love,

Cas

They smiled at that. It looked like their eldest was settling in.

Ending A/N: Okay, so I have a few new ones in the works, but I was wondering if you guys want any continuations beyond the ones I've already done. I plan on doing more of Marchin' On, Muirgheal, Sound of the Sea, Of Innocence and Black Feathers, and The Theft of Daylight. I'm trying to get back into the mood for Something Wicked this Way Comes, but it's slow in coming. As always, ASK ME FOR DRABBLES!
