A week later, and Severus was pacing a room while Percy and Tom sat next to each other on a settee. "Are you sure he can handle this?"

"He gestured to us-does be mean just us?" Percy stage whispered to Tom a smile playing on his lips.

Tom rolled his eyes and patted Percy's knee with a smile himself. "Don't tease him. He's allowed to be nervous."

"You are too, at least a little bit still I believe," Percy smirked some more. He sighed before turning back to Severus who hadn't even paid attention. "Sev, hey," he had to get up and grab the man by his shoulder to look at him. "Harry is okay with you two in general-"

"Tom practically tortured him and I hated him for years-as Lily's son- a girl I never even really liked!" Severus threw his hands up in a dramatic way.

Before he could turn from him Percy's hands met his face and just held the soft skin in his palms. "Look, Harry understands what you two went through-he was outraged to find out about everything that not only happened to him but to his parents, to his adoptive parents to his friends...he may still be healing from it-no don't start-but he doesn't blame you, the worst that could happen is he wants us to not be together..."

"And would you do it?" Severus sighed as he finally calmed a little bit.

Percy put on a thinking face and the both of them choked on-air as they stared at him wide-eyed. Percy couldn't help but laugh at them. "No-even if he started to hate me a bit-apparently it's normal for teens to hate their parents. But I will still love him and be there for him forever. He'll understand why I would one day. Maybe..."

"You minx..." Tom breathed out as he leaned over to hold his head.

The potions master of them chuckled before he grabbed Percy's hands and kissed them both as he removed them from his face. "Thanks..." he then gave Percy a soft kiss.

Then a knock sounded on the door. "You can come in." Percy spoke cheerily as he pulled away to sit beside Tom.

Walking in was Harry, Hermione, and Neville. The boys were still in their pajamas even if it was past 3 in the day. Percy only shook his head at that and sighed when he saw Hermione with three books in her hands, but he would never change a thing with either of them. Besides, it's the summer break.

"You wanted us?" Harry said casually as he came in and sat on the opposite couch. The others following. Neville did so with a yawn.

"How long did you two stay up?" Percy asked with a raised brow at the two boys.

"Too long. I could hear them arguing from the room over." Hermione sighed. "I had to silence my room to be able to sleep."

"We weren't fighting, just trying to figure out some stuff to do with runes." Harry quickly added after her.

Neville nodded. "It took a lot of brainpower unfortunately as well as sleep I suppose."

"You didn't take runes Harry-you took Care of Magical Creatures with Madam Hurley and Hagrid." Hermione pointed out with a raised brow, wondering exactly what they were doing.

"Doesn't mean I wasn't interested, I read some books and ordered some with Dad's permission." Harry grinned at her, loving how she looked so confused and curious. He'd probably tell her about it later.

Severus finally sat down beside Percy. Hermione looked over and blinked-especially with how close the three adults were. Then it clicked for her. "Oh..." she spoke.

Harry confused at watching her looked where she was looking and just got confused. "Oh, what?"

Soon Neville did as well, "Oh."

It made Harry even more so as he looked at his best friends-siblings, "What?" He laughed nervously.

"So-" Percy started as he leaned forward-feeling nervous now that the moment came to tell Harry. "I'm dating someone-well two people." He said casually.

Harry looked at his dad surprised. "What? Who? Why? Are they nice?" He asked, remembering that one time his dad brought someone over to introduce him-that girl didn't last long. She hated kids apparently. She was only with Percy for the money.

"Well, yes, to those they care about. I'm their mate, like you are with the twins and Draco." Percy understood what he meant. He nearly killed the mortal he dated when he saw her trip Harry. "And you know them....boys?" Percy looked at Severus and Tom.

Harry finally clicked it together and stood up. "No way....no you've got to be kidding! Them?!" He shouted.

Percy winced. "Yes?"

Sitting down thanks to Hermione and Neville pulling him down. He tried to process his Dad-dating his biological parents. He blinked as he tried to keep his breathing steady before he was staring at his bio parents then his Dad. "This doesn't mean I will call them Mom or Pops any time soon." He pointed out as he folded his arms and sighed.

"I'd rather not be called mom so I'm not opposed to that." Severus winced at the idea.

"I think Pops is perfectly fine for me-" Tom laughed when Severus glared at him. "But whenever you're ready or want to Harry, we know we did things to you even if under the circumstances that we had ourselves in. We regret them with everything in our beings. We hope we can recover from that together and one day find our own normal."

Neville patted his back as Harry spoke. "Yeah, me too." He spoke quietly before sighing. "Though what if I was referring you as mom?" He raised his brow.

Percy laughed out into a fit of giggles as Tom looked sort of stunned and Severus chuckled. "Then I supposed I'd just have to live with it." He smiled.

Harry smiled back, he'd admit to himself-it felt nice to poke fun at his bio parents.

"This is a horrible idea Percy." Severus mumbled. They were there in the main living area, everyone around getting ready for anything that may happen once they arrive at Percy's old home by his lake.

"I need to grab some of the stuff left in the home vault before they try to get into it. Some of that stuff isn't even for mortals. It will help me in the long run of this feud by the time it ends." Percy pointed out as he felt a little nervous to go. "The wards are still up, and once there I can make them stronger than even Hogwarts herself. Or at least in par." He mumbled the last bit as he held tightly to his wand twirling it as if it was Riptide-which was in his pocket.

"Is it really that important?" Severus asks as he adjusts his lover's dark blue cloak that draped splendidly over his form.

Percy rolled his eyes. "For the millionth time yes. If they somehow open it-it could lead to potentially them winning or something. Though I doubt they've kept at the house waiting for us."

"You never know dear." Tom spoke up as he entered with a heavily spelled Harry. Who was grinning at something that happened between the two before Draco walked in with his father Lucius and a few other members for this trip.

Percy sighed, he really hoped nothing bad happened. He decided to go first. Though he traveled by other means. "I'll just be waiting over there-and turn on the floo system." With that, he was gone in a quick second of vapor then nothing.

"Did you know he could do that?" Tom asked Severus.

"No." The man stated as he quickly grabbed some powder and yelled out what needed to be said as he threw it to the ground and arrived safely at the modern home.

There Percy was waiting on them. His back turned to the floo, his eyes roaming the mess of his living room and remembering lucidly of when things went down when he was kidnapped.

Percy sighed loudly into the large empty space, he was alone with their dragon Estelle, softly petting her smooth scaled head. He grinned at her softly before going back to his book to pass the time that seemed to want to pass slower. Maybe it was.

Suddenly he felt nervous-the air changed and his hair stood up and chills went down his spine.

Weakly pushing off the couch Percy looked around-then he felt the wards fall and before he knew it he was being attacked in several directions from spells of all kinds-but none that would harm or kill him. He was able to fight barely with an opponent moving the wand from his body and up to where it clashes with the chandelier making it fall from the ceiling and dangle.

Percy knew he wasn't going to win this so he was able to knock out a few before running upstairs with Estelle following and setting some of the wizards on fire as they ran.

Once in his room he spelled the door as he tried to think-he knew he couldn't apparate, or vapor travel-or the godly version of teleporting as he was too sick for anything too big like that and he hated that fact.

Suddenly he found himself on the ground gasping as the pain in his chest had worsened at the worst time. He grabbed at it with a gasp as if he could fix it. Or at least hold it together. He wanted to whine but he didn't let it out. Estelle settled beside him whining for him.

His door kicked in and he knew he'd be gone in a few moments' time. His vision already darkening as he saw the robes of the man he hated most in the world right now walk forward with a feral grin.

Then everything went black.

All he could think about was how glad he was Harry wasn't there....that none of them were...

"Percy?" Severus waved a hand in front of Percy's face as he gently turned him from the stairs he was facing to look at him directly. "Everything okay?"

Blinking Percy nodded as he came out of his memories. "Yeah, yeah I'm good. While everyone arrives let's head to my office." He spoke as he started walking, just as the next person walked through.

That person being Harry as Tom wouldn't let him go after him, he wanted to make sure himself that Harry arrived in one piece. "We gotta clean up this place...." He spoke out, feeling weird how the place felt so empty and cold. Even though it was filled with warmth ever since he started living there with his Dad.

Tom arrived soon after, and so did the rest of their party. "Where's Percy?" He asked as he walked up beside Harry who was holding a photo frame. He looked down at it after his eyes roamed the dusty wrecked living room. He'd never been there but so far he couldn't imagine anything but the wrecked image in front of him. His eyes met the sea-green blue ones of his mate, then the smiles of the two in the photo. His heart clenched at the younger version of Harry shyly yet excitedly smiling as he looked at his cake with a number 8 on it. The cake was all blue.

"Upstairs or in his office..." Harry spoke as he rubbed the dust off some more. The cracked glass made his chest hurt some.

"Hey, when this is all over we'll get this place back in business okay?" Tom spoke gently as he put a hand on Harry's shoulder to give him some comfort.

"You promise?" Harry asked, feeling smaller-like he was 7 again as he looked up at his father.

Tom paused as he looked his son over. "I promise with all my heart Harry. You will have your home back."

Harry nodded and accepted that before he pointed down the hall to where his Dad's office would be for him. He watched his Father's tall-built figure walk that way as Draco came to his side. "Cute." He heard in his ear before he blushed and gave a glare to his mate.

"What?" He asked as he set the picture face down on the side table that was still standing in the storm that came through. Picking up a book that had its pages burnt.

Draco picked up the photo. "You were cute-a little skinny...you know, you never told us how you got in Percy's care..." his eyes saw the boy and he seemed happy but at the same time haunted.

Harry looked at him. "I suppose I haven't...that I haven't told you I put the people I lived with for 6 years...I haven't told any of you. I kinda just forgot I suppose to busy being happy..."

"Well whenever you're ready to tell us Love, come on. I've never been to your room here. Show me around while we're here?" Draco held out his hand, he didn't like the look that crossed his lover's face. When his hand was given to him he kissed the back of it softly but quickly-he was a bit embarrassed to show any affection around others-but definitely not in front of his own father.

Harry smiled and led the boy to his room.

Shaking his head he threw another folder into a box by his feet. Mumbling about how disorganized he was and that he'd never find anything he needed. Percy grabbed a key after ages of looking, tucked safely in a folder, this is why he didn't just throw all of his important pages into the box, soon they were all marching on their own as he walked to the wall behind his desk. Severus and Tom watch him in the silence.

Percy rubbed his hand on the wall and sent his magic through the wall with a soft breath of air-the wall changed and morphed gracefully in a large round golden door, with a keyhole. Fit for the one Percy had grabbed. The intricate details swirling and wrapping around the keys home moved and slithered around.

He opened it and the two mates behind Percy gasped as they saw the Vaults inside was bigger than London itself. Not far on the paved path into the place-a lone wizard, long-dead holding onto the cursed object they grabbed. Percy waved a hand at the corpse and it disappeared from sight. "Dam, well at least they didn't grab anything else." Percy spoke as he walked in.

"How are we moving all of this?" Severus spoke as he looked around.

"Oh, no we aren't-what you see isn't all of it-this is its own pocket dimension to hold infinite things. Savings, furniture-homes." He paused looking at the brick square further down. "Just don't touch anything while I disconnect this place from the house so they can't find it."

"Right...." Severus and Tom watched silently as Percy zipped around the place doing something to disconnect the vault before freezing halfway out the door when finished.

"Percy?" Tom asked as he came up not minding the door that shut behind them and disappeared.

"They're here." He gasped out as he finally was able to move through the pain of suddenly having his wards ripped to shreds. "Harry...." He spoke as he ran off not caring his body ached from the backlash of connecting it to his magic.

Tom and Severus followed after. Just as the wizards of Dumbledore's army marched in and started firing their spells, some falling as quickly as they entered-others hyped on ichor taking a few more before falling with their brethren. Percy joined into the Frey with Tom and Severus not far behind.

Harry gasped when he heard it all begin, he and Draco got off his bed quickly buttoning back up their cloaks and getting their wands out. Especially when his windows were shattered and several more wizards popped in and started their spells at them.

"Harry cmon!" Draco spoke as he grabbed Harry's hand and a spell left his lips and into the direction of a wizard, knocking them out the window.

Harry ran with him but did it get far when a rope came and wrapped itself around their feet. "Shii-ow, Expelliarmus!" Harry quickly jabbed back at the attacker and the ropes disappeared and they scrambled out of the room and downstairs into the mess of spells in the living room. They dodged and weaved as they tried to get back to the group they came with only to be shepherd outside. Where hands grabbed Harry and a spell hit Draco hard enough for him to hit the floor hard, blood coming out of his nose.

"Nooo!" Harry screeched as he turned on his attacker in anger, his nails sharpening and his wings fluffed and out as he hissed at the man-finding it was Dumbledore himself. The old headmaster quickly hit Harry enough to grab the boy's hands and have his wand pointed at his neck.

"Harry!" Percy yelled as he came out-also having been shepherded out for a more open space environment.

Everything paused. Everyone's eyes stared at Harry who froze as Dumbledore held him and put a foot on Draco's back. "Now, let's talk Percy." A deep voice echoed from the usually more nasally voice of Dumbledores.

"Kronos...let him go." Percy spoke as he went to walk forward. His heart beating heavily in his chest. But was stopped by the wizards on the primordial's side as he stared at the situation-guilt building up and eating at him for getting his son in this position.

Kronos only smirked-and it looked odd on the wrinkled face. "First...we need to talk Perseus."
