Chapter 7
The twins looked up at the building which once house Zonko's joke shop in Hogsmeade. It was now theirs and was the perfect cover to explain them being here. They had recently purchased the shop with promise to keep the name and only bring in a few of the Weasley Wizarding Whizzies products. They were now talking about painting the building, if anyone was to over hear them. Being as close as they were they could talk about anything and still be talking about the plan to get Severus out.
They were deciding if it might be best if they only used one of the tunnels to get out of the castle rather then to go both ways. Someone was bound to notice them in castle though they knew a lot of the back passages that were never used. Plus going in through one may well set off and alarm now Dumbledore had a reason to watch them. Not able to come up with a reasonable excuse to go to the school though the front gate was not really an option and they headed for the Hogsmeade end of the hump backed witch tunnel.
Once inside they became completely quiet as they carried along into the dungeons. They only had one close call and that was with Ms. Norse. They discovered that Severus was being held in his own quarters. With some quick and fancy spell work that would confuse the wards on the doorway they entered and gasped seeing the room mostly destroyed. "Wow." One twin said, "Agreed." The other answered as they searched the room for anything that could be salvaged. They didn't find anything and moved on to the next room where they found Severus.
Severus was lying on the bed, his robes torn and scorched by places. His nose appeared to have been broken again. He had been hit in the arm with a cutting hex which had done some nasty damage. As the Twins got closer they could see more minor damage, but not enough to have brought the man down. Fred waved his wand and found what really brought him down. Severus had been pregnant almost two months along but the fighting had caused him to lose the baby.
They also found that Dumbledore had knocked him out magically putting him in a coma. George knew the counter to the curse and they were quick to get it cast. They knew they couldn't afford to wait much longer, breakfast would be letting out soon and classes would be starting. They needed to get out of here now. They both cast an enervate on Severus causing the man to wake suddenly and draw his wand before hissing in pain from his cut arm.
"Professor, Sir, stay calm."
"We are going to get you out of here."
"Think you can you walk?"
Severus was taken back by the pair as he looked back and forth between the two. He understood that they were Ron's brothers and they were good friend with Harry. What he didn't understand was why two light aligned wizards would be helping him a clearly dark wizard. "Why are you helping me?" He asked them now holding his injured arm. "Of course I can walk, why would I not be able to walk."
"Our favorite teacher doesn't trust us Gred."
"Oh for shame Forge."
"What will our cousin say when we have to tell him…"
"His mate would not come with us."
That caught Severus' attention, "Harry? Is he okay? Did Lucius get him out of here?" He asked panicked and more worried about his little mate than himself.
The Twins burst into laughter at that. "Harry is safely away with our Uncle who wouldn't let Dad come rescue you." They answered together.
"Oh dear lord, does he have to be related to you two." Severus groaned and shook his head, "It doesn't mater, get me out of here." He demanded now moving to get off the bed. He was stable on his feet before they moved to living room. He noticed the Twins messing around the floo and frowned at them. "What are you doing?"
"Leaving behind a few traps." One twins answered.
"Be a shame to break in and break out," The other smirked at Severus in a clearly Slytherin way, "without leaving a delayed calling card."
"You aren't going to do anything that will give yourselves away?" Severus asked them bluntly.
"Now that wouldn't be very loyal to our true house." The one that was smirking answered again.
"Would make our true head of house want to skin us alive for the truly unslytherin actions." The other finished and smirked matching his twin perfectly. "Time to go." Pointing their wands at the floo together they confused the wards on it as well before using it to send some rubbish through the floo system. They then grabbed hold of Severus pulling him from the room and down the hall. Though the wards were confused they went off in the Headmasters office. The twins though already had Severus out on the grounds having used a hidden passage to the entrance hall. They thought the shrieking shack made a fitting escape route. They met no resistance on the way there.

Harry was curled against Lucius as they sat in Lucius' chair. The same chair Lucius had been sitting in when Severus had first discovered Harry was their mate. Harry was so nervous he hadn't been able to sleep and Lucius had tied to keep him calm. It had been a losing battle after Tom had suggested what Dumbledore might do to Severus. Neither one had gotten any sleep, "Harry… Severus is going to be fine." Lucius said soothingly, "He is much tougher than he looks."
"Then why wasn't he able to get out?" Harry murmured the worry and doubt had been eating away at him all night.
"I don't know love, but he will be okay." Lucius said trying to comfort Harry. He knew the distance between them was starting to be a problem. He couldn't even feel Severus for all his efforts to try and connect to him. Be they were bonded to each other for such a long time he worried himself that the connection seemed severed.
They were silent again for several minutes when Tom entered the room, "Nothing yet?" He asked looking to the floo. He had just left Arthur who assured him the Twins would have left to rescue Severus as soon as they got the letter.
No sooner had He said this than the floo activated and out stepped the Twins supporting Severus between them. In the short time it took them to get from the Shrieking Shack to Zonko's they had been discovered. Severus had taken another cutting hex to his other arm this time and gone down again. The twins hadn't missed beat though taking up Severus and retreating into the shop. "We almost got away with it." George said as they moved to lay Severus down on the couch. At this point Harry and Lucius were standing and moving around the couch.
"What happened?" Harry asked knelling beside the couch and taking Severus hand.
Fred looked between Harry and Lucius before he answered, "He was weakened… by a miscarriage during the first fight."
Lucius blinked shocked by this news, sure they had tried for another child but they assumed it wouldn't happen again until they had their third. "He… was with child?" He asked stunned.
"Two months in." Fred answered having been the one to cast the spell to check on Severus. "About the same time Harry would have come into his inheritance."
Harry was shocked by this as much as Lucius, he had thought he would be the one to carry all their children. That perhaps there had been a complication during Draco's birth that they hadn't had any others. He was confused about that now, but he still held to Severus' hand tightly.
Tom pushed the Twins out of the way that he could do his own scans now. He quickly called a house elf to fetch a couple potions for him before turning to the Twins. "You did some fancy healing to get him out of there."
"Experience." They answered together now standing side by side with an arm over each others shoulder.
"You often take damage from cutting Hexes?" Tom asked suspiciously.
They blushed and Fred turned he head into George's shoulder hiding his face. "Not a lot of 'damage'." George said pulling Fred close to himself and rubbing his back.
Arthur entered the room then and shook his head, "I hope to Merlin you two are careful with your experimenting." He said walking in the room.
Fred's blush got even worse and buried his face deeper into George's neck now. "Dad… not now." He murmured really not wanting to talk about it.
"Oh why not, the more your great Uncle knows the more likely he is to let you leave sooner." Arthur said chuckled at the reaction he was getting. "I know I was more than happy when the two of you moved out. Your 'mother' was started to get suspicious of you."
"Dad, I think you scarred them for life." George said looking at the others in the room, unlike Fred he had no shame about loving his twin. The others were indeed shocked by this but Harry broke it by bursting out laughing, he'd always known the twins were close.
"Blood play with cutting hexes is not exactly experimental." Tom muttered and shook his head, "It is dangerous."
"Hey, if you think I would do anything that would put Fred in danger you have another thing coming." George snapped at the Dark Lord still not knowing who he was other than his Uncle.
"George… You don't want to make grandfather mad." Harry smirked at him, "He just might torture you for fun." He giggled a little even though he was worried about Severus still.
"Harry, I am not the person Albus has made me out to be." Tom growled a little angrily but he was glad for the title Harry had used. It was the first sign he had gotten that Harry accepted him.
"Uncle Tom, he was joking. I'm pretty sure he knows that every thing he knew about the Dark Lord is a lie." Arthur sighed shaking his head, "But still George you don't want to make your Great Uncle mad. Annoyed maybe, but never mad."
Fred came out of hiding and looked at Tom the blush settled down completely now. "We were truly right George… our family is connected to the Dark Lord."
Tom sighed shaking his head, "I'm not going to have much of a reputation left when this is all done." He went back to tending to Severus who really only needed the pain reliever and blood replenishing potions. "You should take him to your room and get some rest Harry, Lucius. I'm going to check on Draco make sure he is still stable." He said than turned on the Twins, "Then I'm going to sit down with these two and get to know them. They don't seem anything like the younger boy, Ronald."
Arthur laughed at that, "They certainly aren't."
AN: Hey everyone, I know it has been longer than I said I would take but I wanted to have more of the next chapter finished than what I do have done. However with the changing of my position at work I don't have the same time as I did. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
I was also wondering if anyone would be willing who is reading the story to draw or find me a piece of art work to use as a cover photo for the story. I did a quick search myself and came up empty handed. There is lots of work out there of Luc/Sev or Luc/Har or Sev/Har but I did not find a single one that would fit this story with all three of them.
