Chapter Five, The Truth Will Out
"Right so we all know the plan?" Andy asked after they'd all eaten dinner. The others who sat at the table nodded in agreement. "Right Cissa, Draco where we are going you must not tell anyone as the Fidelous Charm will break. I'm only able to tell as Dumbledore gave me permission to tell the father of Honor's baby and his parents the whereabouts of Sirius's home." Andy told them. "They do not know that Draco is the father and I except you Draco to be on your best behaviour as some will seek out to stop you and Honor being together am I understood?"
"Yes Aunt Andy," Draco answered. "I don't want to do anything that could stop me from seeing Honor and our baby." He said firmly kissing Honor on the nose causing her to scrunch it up and smack Draco lightly on the arm, Draco chuckled and kissed Honor softly on the lips as she pouted at him. "Now hurry up and finish your pudding you two so we can leave." Narcissa ordered before she turned to her sister. "Where exactly are we going Andy?"
"We're going to 12 Grimmauld Place." Andy informed her. While Draco and Honor were catching up and eating their pudding Andy and Narcissa were also catching up talking about their families and how they'd never thought Sirius would step willingly into that house again. Once everyone had finally finished eating Andy left a note for Ted telling him where she went in case he came back early to find an empty house and started to worry. "Now everyone grab onto this," Andy said holding out a piece of rope.
"It's a Portkey that will take us into the entry way of Grimmauld Place. Don't worry Honor it's perfectly safe I made it myself I promise you nothing is going to happen to you and we are only going to end up in Sirius's house. Trust me." Andy implored looking at the nervous girl before her who looked like she was trying to sum up all of her courage to reach out and touch the Portkey, not that anyone could blame her what with the experience she had with them.
After a couple more seconds of hesitating Honor cautiously took hold of the Portkey, not a minute later they were whisked into nothingness before being deposited in the entrance hall of Grimmauld Place. Draco having made sure he had an arm around Honor before they disappeared had turned himself when they reappeared so that Honor was slightly on top of him taking the brunt of the impact so Honor and the baby didn't get hurt. Sighing in annoyance as she climbed off of Draco when she saw that Narcissa and Andy were still on their feet.
"I hate all Magical travel except for brooms." Honor said grumpily as the other three laughed at her as she nearly tripped up over the rug. "Oh honestly Honor your just as much as a klutz as Nymphadora." Andy laughed shaking her head as she saw Honor glaring at her with her arms crossed over her chest much like her daughter did. They all froze when they heard Sirius's angry voice coming from the kitchen in the basement. "I'M WARNING YOU NOW DUMBLEDORE! IF YOU DO NOT TELL ME WHERE MY DAUGHTER IS YOU'LL HAVE MORE THAN JUST THIS GODFORSAKEN WAR TO WORRY ABOUT." Sirius screamed at the top of his voice when he was interrupted from no doubt carrying on his rant by what sounded like a banshee with a sore throat and trying to sing.
"SIRIUS BLACK! HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO DUMBLEDORE LIKE THAT WHEN HE HAS DONE EVERYTHING HE CAN FOR THAT GIRL! YOU APOLOGISE THIS INSTANT!!" Molly screamed. But that appeared to be the wrong thing as yet again Sirius's angry voice filled the house but this time it was a companied by his magic. "MOLLY FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE WILL YOU JUST SHUT UP AND KEEP YOUR NOSE OUT OF OTHER PEOPLE'S BUSINESS. YOU WILL NOT SPEAK TO ME THAT WAY WHEN YOU ARE A GUEST IN MY HOUSE. WHICH I CAN EASILY TAKE AWAY FROM YOU AND ANYONE. I. SEE. FIT," Sirius raged.
"WHICH INCLUDES THE MANIPULATIVE OLD MAN KNOWN AS DUMBLEDORE. WHO HAS DONE ANYTHING BUT DO WHAT WAS BEST FOR MY DAUGHTER. IF I HEAR SO MUCH AS A WHISPER OF A WORD AGAINST ME, REMUS OR OUR DAUGHTER YOU ALL WILL BE OUT ON THE STREET BEFORE YOU CAN SAY QUIDDITCH."
"Now Sirius my boy," Dumbledore said in a grandfatherly manner only to be interrupted but this time it was Remus. "No Dumbledore Sirius is right we've had enough of you medaling in our daughter's life. It stops today. From now on you'll only be her headmaster nothing more and you'll only talk to her about things that contains the school such as her school work and that will only happen if either I or Sirius are present. Now. Where. Is. My. Cub?" Remus asked through gritted teeth.
Before Dumbledore could answer Honor announced herself as she walked down the stairs to the kitchen. "I'm here Papa." Honor called. Just as she was about to open the kitchen door it was flung open and Sirius was wrapping her into his arms holding her lovingly against his chest, something that Honor readily returned as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Honor was so caught up in the hug with her dad that she completely forgot about the other people she came with. That is until she heard Tonks's slightly confused voice come from the middle of the table. "Mum? What're you doing here?"
Sirius pulled back from his hug with Honor, who was immediately snatched up by Remus, and looked over to the entrance to the kitchen to not only see his cousin Andromeda but also her younger sister Narcissa and her son; what was his name, aw Draco that was it. "Andy? Cissa what are you doing here?" Sirius asked confused. "Hello Sirius," Andy smiled at her young cousin. "It's been awhile. I'm here for Honor as Cissa and I have a matter of great importance to discuss with you and Remus in private." Andy said diplomatically giving nothing away as she smiled at her cousin and his husband.
Before either Sirius and Remus could voice their obvious concern they were stopped by the meddlesome old fool. "Andromeda I'm sure what you need to discuss can be discussed here. And the problem that occurred can be properly sorted out here." Dumbledore said genially. Narcissa scowled at the meddlesome fool. "I'm afraid not Dumbledore what I and Andy need to discuss with Sirius and Remus is for their ears only and it is no one else's business but there's; unless they wish to disclose it." Narcissa sneered at him, she had just about enough of the old fool trying to control Honor's every move.
But fate it seemed wasn't on their side as Ron unusually observant today spotted Draco standing in the shadows of the stairs and also spotted the engagement ring on Honor's finger as she was buried into Remus's side. "WHAT THE HELL IS THE BLOODY FERRET DOING HERE? AND WHY ARE THERE RINGS ON YOUR HANDS?!" Ron roared.
Remus and Sirius growled warningly at Ron as they saw and felt Honor flinch from the loud noise. "I don't think it's any of your business why I'm here is it Weaslebee?" Draco sneered glaring at the gangly redheaded for making his girlfriend/fiancée flinch. "Draco!" Narcissa snapped. "Manners." Draco mumbled an apology but anyone could tell that he didn't mean it. "Well Honor? You didn't answer Ron's question?" Hermione snapped.
"Why must you always question what I do?" Honor yelled. "I'm sick of it. First you question why I put Arthimancy and Ancient Runes down as my third year electives as well as Care of Magical Creatures and then the next thing I know I'm down for Divination instead of the subjects I most wanted to do. Well too bad for you as I've been taking those subjects with Professor Vector and Professor Moonshine in secret.
Then you question on who I date, what friends I have, why I'm being adopted by my dad and papa when I have the Dursleys when you damn well know what they do to me every year. And now you question over something trivial as to why I have rings on my hands. Well I'm bloody sick of it. If you must know the rings on my right hand are my heiress rings to the Potter, Black and Lupin family as well as Peverall family and the other one is none of your damn business." Honor shouted at them shocking the room into silence.
"Albus if I find out you had anything to do with my pup's subjects being changed there will be serious consequences!" Sirius growled, glaring at the man before he turned back to his favourite cousins. "Let's head up to the Drawing Room where we can discuss what's going on. Nyphie you can come too as I can tell this a family matter." Sirius said, he dodged the hex Tonks threw at him as he turned to the rest of the Order who weren't staying in his house. "As for the rest of you who are not staying here. Get. The. Hell. Out. Of. My. House. NOW!" said Sirius through gritted teeth, though he ended up yelling as no one moved.
The Order quickly scrambled out of their seats as the powerful Black family magic whipped around the room furiously constricting their breaths. "That includes you Dumbledore." Remus growled his eyes bleeding a dark Amber. The Black magic swept through the room more furiously as the old coot refused to move. The tense atmosphere in the room continued to build that it could be cut with a knife before the Black magic forcefully removed Dumbledore from the property; with a scream of pain Dumbledore vanished from site which effectively removed him from the wards and barred him from entrance to the property as his mind was wiped of its existence along with those who had left before him.
With Dumbledore's enchants now gone the Black family boosted all of the regular wards and even enhanced the extensive ones that were blocked by the old coot's magic, the house was now nearly as heavily warded as some of the high security vaults in Gringotts the only difference was there was no dragon or goblin magic in the wards. Instead the wards were constantly being charged by the fact there were seven Blacks now under one room, it didn't matter that Remus was married to Sirius or that Honor was adopted by both Sirius and Remus the Black family magic recognised them as members of the Black family and there were now wards in place to protect the inhabitants of the Black family; which was helped by the fact that Honor was carrying the new Black, Potter, Lupin and Malfoy Heir (not that her parents knew that), and anyone who attacked them would be forcefully removed like Dumbledore.
"SIRIUS!" Molly started to screech but before she could get started she was silenced by Remus. "We do not need to hear you screeching like a banshee Molly!" Remus growled. "This is our house and you will not order or dictate what we do in our own home. You are our guests and it can easily be revoked which goes for you telling Honor what to do. She is not your daughter she is ours so you have no say in what she does or her discipline. Andy if you would please lead the way." Remus said turning his back on the redheaded banshee.
Once in the Drawing room Honor sat on the plush red love seat staring fixedly at her hands in her lap wringing them in her nervousness and panic. Draco seeing how nervous his girlfriend, no fiancée was pulled her onto his lap and held her tight to his chest. "Okay what is going on?" Sirius asked concerned, he hated seeing his little girl looking so scared and unsure of herself and he really hated the fearful look on her face as she looked at him and Remus.
He was also confused by how close she was to Draco; he knew they were going out but he didn't no they were they close. Sirius did a double take at the ring on her left hand, the way she was acting and the way Draco held her he hoped to Merlin and whatever deity there was that this wasn't what he thought it was. His baby was too young to get married. Sharing a look with are Remus he knew he was having the same thought as him but there was something else in that look that Sirius couldn't quite place.
"Pup whatever it is you can trust us. Remus and I will stick by you no matter what happens, there is nothing you can say to us that will make us stop loving you. If we do end up getting angry with what you have to say," Sirius said with a pointed look at her left hand.
"It is not with it is on your behalf as we love and care about you, and we only want what's best for you." Remus continued from where Sirius left off as they took a seat on the beige coloured sofa close to Honor with Narcissa, Andy and Tonks sitting on the other beige coloured sofa opposite them. Honor nodded her head distractedly.
They seemed to be taking her engagement pretty well all things considering she just hoped they didn't hate her for being a teenage mum. It's not like her Draco meant for this to happen thru didn't use any contraception as thru were caught up in the moment and she didn't believe in using any. Taking a deep breath she looked up at the two parents she could only remember having and hoped that she would still have some by the end of the night.
Sirius and Remus smiled at their daughter trying to reassure her and not make her so nervous, they had hoped that she would be able to tell them anything but they knew the damage done by the Dursleys ran too deep; yet they were going to do everything they could to change that fact. "Its okay cub take your time." Remus smiled at her. Honor opened her mouth to say it but lost her nerve and closed her mouth licking her suddenly dry lips. Draco feeling how scared she was held her tighter to him and kissed her shoulder offering her as much comfort as he could.
Realising that it was better to just come out and say it as she knew she was making everyone feel worse. She swallowed as much as she could with her dry throat and said with a slightly shaking voice, "I'm pregnant."
