Harry kisses Severus's lips.
*Harry's POV*
I lean back from the kiss and his eyes flutter open. He turns his head towards me and smiles. I smile at him and start to kiss all over his face, which makes him laugh. I stop kissing him. I pick him up, sit down, and place him in my lap. He realizes Pomfrey is here and blushes a deep red.
"What have you ate lately?" I ask him.
"I got hungry last night and had a house elf bring me some strawberries," he says. "Then, the boys came into our room and wanted some, so I shared the berries with them."
"What house elf?" I ask.
"Pippy," he says. The house elf appeared. I slide Severus out of lap and snatch the elf before it could get away. I glare at it.
"Who told you to do that?" I ask.
"Ron Weasley and Dumbledore," it squeaks out.
"Leave and I don't want to see you here, again," I say. The elf nods frantically and disappears. "Now that that is taken care of." I magic 2 bezoars into my hand. I go over to Albert and Carl.
I stick a bezoar in each of their mouths. A few minutes later, they both start to cough and sputter around. They stop coughing and sit up. I pull the boys to me in a tight hug, which they returned.
"You can go now, Pomfrey," I tell her. I take down the wards long enough for her to nod, walk into the fireplace, and disappear.
I carry the boys over to the couch to Severus. I sit down, place Carl in Severus's lap, and put Albert in my lap. I pull Severus closer to me and into my side. I wrap my arm around him. The boys fall asleep.
I subconsciously rub his belly. "We need another girl, but the twins need to be older first." I feel him nod his agreement. "Maybe we could adopt a little girl younger than Albert and Carl, but older than the twins." He nods his agreement, again.
"I can't believe I almost lost you all," I whisper. "I never want to have that feeling, again. I'm not going to be letting any of you out of my sight. The only house elves I want you all using are Dobby and Kreacher. I'll talk to them later about that." I feel my anger rising. Severus puts his hand on my thigh and rubs. I slowly calm down. "I love you and our children."
"I love you, too," Severus says. "Let's put the boys in their beds and cuddle in ours." I smile at the suggestion. I stand up, pick up the 2 boys, carry them to their room, and put them in their beds.
I go back out to see Severus sitting on the couch shirtless. I stalk over to him and snatch him up in my arms. I leave teasing kisses all over his exposed flesh. He moans in pleasure. I speed us into our room and give him the time of his life.
Afterwards, he snuggles up to me and I magic us both into a pair of sweatpants.
"The boys need to start sleeping in their own bed," I tell him.
"I don't know, though," he says. "I would love that, but their past scares them. That's why they come in here with us. They know that we'll keep them safe."
"I know, but they have got to learn that we will still love and protect them no matter what," I say. "I would like to play quidditch with you more than what we do now." He laughs at that, which makes me pout. "I don't find it very funny."
I glare halfheartedly at him. Our bedroom door creaks open. We lean up and see the boys standing there. We get out of the bed, go over to the boys, and pick them up.
"What's up?" I ask him.
"We heard you talking," Carl says, looking down at the floor. Severus and I look at each other. "We understand what you mean, daddy. We wanted to sleep in our room, but was afraid that you would get mad if we didn't sleep in here with you and dad."
"Carl, Albert, you never have to be afraid of us,"Severus says. "We will always protect you. We will never hurt you."
"We might give you a few spankings when you do something bad, but we will always love you no matter what any of you do," I say. They nod. "We'll always support and love you no matter what." They smile at us and hug us tightly. My eyes widen in realization. I put Carl down and start pacing back and forth.
"What are you thinking?" Severus asks.
"You all had necklaces that would have warned you that the strawberries were poisonous," I say. "Why didn't they warn you?"
"Someone must of deactivated the necklaces," he says. I nod. "But who would do such a thing?"
"I don't know," I say. I reactivate and improve their necklaces. "I reactivated and improved the necklaces, so that they will tell you if you are around someone dangerous or if you're about to be put in danger." They nod.
"But I don't have a necklace," Albert says. I hold my hand out in the air and make a necklace with 4 pendents appear in my hand. Each pendent has a different crest on it, which is the Potter, Gaunt, Snape, and Cullen. I go over to Albert and clasp it around his neck. He smiles at me, which I return. "Thank you, daddy."
"No problem, Albert," I say. I pick Carl up. "How about we go to the Great Hall for lunch?" The twins start crying.
Severus and I put the boys down and check on the twins. They were both hungry and Lillianna needed a diaper change. I changed Lillianna's diaper while Severus fed Gregory. After Lillianna's diaper was changed, I fed her and Severus got the boys and himself presentable. I made myself presentable while Severus got the twins dressed.
After everyone was ready, we put the twins in the adjoined car seat and made our way to the Great Hall. We walked in and sat down in our regular seats. The Great Hall was completely full and silently staring at us. I noticed Ron looked shocked and angered.
Severus and I put some food on the boys' plates and our plates. We all started to eat. It was a peaceful lunch. After lunch, we went back to our quarters and spent some time as a family until it was dinner time.
We went back to the Great Hall. We sat down and we all started eating. I stop eating when I feel a group of people pass the wards.
"I'll be back, Severus," I say. I look over at Severus. "Don't move an inch. Just stay here." He nods. I get up and calmly walk out of the Great Hall and out of Hogwarts. I meet the group outside the doors. The group was being led by Kingsley Shacklebolt.
"What can I do for you?" I ask.
"We're looking for Harrison Gaunt. Do you know where we can find him?" Shacklebolt asks.
"I'm Harrison Gaunt," I say. "What can I help you with?"
"You're under arrest for murder," he says.
"The murder of whom?" I ask. "I haven't left Hogwarts since the beginning of the year."
"The murder of Ronald Weasley," he says. I start laughing. After a while, I calm myself down.
"I have done no such thing," I inform the group. "Ronald Weasley is in the Great Hall devouring food." They give me disbelieving looks. "Come on and you can see for yourself." I lead the group back into the Great Hall. I spot Ronald first. "See, there's Ronald right there." I point over to Weasley. "Now, who requested for you to arrest me?"
"Albus Dumbledore did," he says. "Something isn't right with everything that keeps going on." I chuckle at his observation.
"I've known that ever since I heard about the man," I say. "I know why he's doing what he's doing. I hate Dumbledore for everything he's done."
"What do you mean?" Shacklebolt asks. Bella and Selena get up and come over to me. They link their hands with mine.
"They took my sisters away from me and us away from our parents," I tell. "I stumbled upon the some of the truth when I was 9. My abusive relatives was talking to Dumbledore while I was in the cupboard under the stairs. I swore to myself after that day that I would do everything in my power to get rid of him. That night, I talked to my uncle and we agreed on a plan I made. I would go into the wizarding world and get a bunch of separate accounts at Gringotts in my real name and made it so no one but myself could get in. Then, I would learn everything I could about everything there was to know, which I did. By the time I was 10, I knew everything I needed to know. I got a job tutoring other students and bought a bakery. I hired muggles and magical creatures to work under me. The magical beings dealt with people from the magical realm while the muggles dealt with their realm. I hired house elves, too. I got a lot working for me, too. Everyone who works for me, loves me. I worked my up the corporate ladder and have become a multimillionaire in both worlds. I range from many different things. From food to the law to investments and to other businesses. I believe you have heard of a corporation called 'Black Knight Nations Incorporated.'" Everyone has a look of realisation on their faces. "If I wanted to, I could create World War 3 against England."
"How?" Shacklebolt asks.
"Pretend to die," I say. "I have an alliance between every country that puts their loyalty with me no matter what." All of their mouths was open in shock.
"Anything else?" Shacklebolt asks.
"Yes," I say slowly. "I suggest you check out Dumbledore's past. Make sure to check James and mum's will. It's at Gringotts and it clearly says that Peter Pettigrew was their secret keeper, not Sirius. Plus, Albus knew, but didn't say a word about it. I believe that would allow Dumblebee to go to Azkaban, even if it is just for a few years. It'll give me time to put my true plan into action." They nod in agreement.
"We'll put a warrant out for his arrest," Shacklebolt says. "How do we find him. He surely wouldn't show up to the ministry after we put his name out to the public."
"Uno momento por favor," I say. I let go of my sisters' hands, watch them sit down at their designated tables, and walk outside to the entrance gate, with the small group of aurors following me. I use a powerful summoning charm. A few minutes later, Dumbledore comes flying into the gate, but not passed them. I lessen his magical core.
"There you go," I say. "There's your trouble maker. Take him and leave. Don't let him out of your sight. He'll try to convince you that he's good and to let him go. If he escapes, I'm the first that should know." They all nod and grab onto Dumbledore. They apparate away. I go back to the castle, sit down, and eat. I look around and see everyone staring at me. I notice Ron talking quietly into a phone. I could here everything he was saying.
"Mr. Weasley, I suggest you stop talking about me to Albus and your parents," I say. "It's very rude and none of their business of what I do." I glare at him and he glares at me, but hangs up the phone. "Thank you." He shrugs and we continue to eat. I look over to Severus to see a frown on his face. I get up, walk over to his chair, and sit on the chair arm. I make him look me in the eye. "What's the matter?" He wraps his arms around my waist and buries his face into my chest.
"There's still so much I don't know about you," he mutters. He lets a few tears run down his face soaking into my shirt. I run my fingers through his hair.
"You know everything about me, but I had no intentions of telling anyone about my business," I say. "That was the only way I would have gotten them to believe me, so I had tell them. Money doesn't matter. The only good thing about it is that I get to spoil you and our children rotten." We both laugh. "You miss our bike rides, don't you?" He nods. "I'll have them brought here and we can ride through the forest." He pulls back from the hug and gives me a big smile. "There's that smile I love so much." I give him an unnoticed kiss to the forehead and a hug then left for my food. We continued to eat with no more issues.
