Astoria had been punished for Draco choosing her over the pure bloods the Death Eaters had chosen for him to bare his children and possibly marry.
She was getting sicker every day and Draco knew this was dangerous bringing the boys to be with her and the little one.
Draco bit his lip and appeared with both boys, making Astoria look up
"Drake are you crazy? They know I'm here, but they can't get in." She had fear in her eyes as Draco hissed "they don't know anything. I promise you. The boys are safe here for now and we brought you food and more water for the warmer months."
Astoria shook her head and sighed looking at the toddler in his bed. "He's getting restless Draco, I hope we can be out of here soon. He neees fresh air, not this muggle fan crap.." they looked at their son who was tossing and turning about to cry when Albus walked over and smiled putting a fresh bottle of dragon milk. The child instantly suckled on the bottle and Albus smiled "there.. I bought a few gallons of the dragon milk. It stays warm all year and he'll be well fed." He sighed and Astoria raised a brow
"H..how did you know?" She asked and Albus looked over "mum gave it to me as a baby. She always kept me warm by the fire and the milk was like a soother for any pain or fear when in a dark place for too long. Scorpius and I offered it to the elves in the kitchen, they use it in their baked goods." He chuckled and Astoria smiled.
"Thank you Albus. Please choose any bed you'd like." She looked at Scorpius and smirked, Scorpius giggled and blushed joining Albus in the rooms.
Harry appeared and hugged into draco biting his lip groaning in pain "s..sorry!" He chuckled and felt pain in his side.
"Harry what happened?" Draco asked and Harry shook his head "they're in the air. I got lucky I found your port key in the tower or we'd be goners. Ginny is heading to San Francisco to get Ron and Hermione so they'll be here too on a bit."
He sat down and groaned grabbing his side. He had almost fell off his broom and hit the wall of Caesars Palace.
Pansy and George appeared next with Ron's arm over his shoulders, Hermione over Pansy's.
"They're not slowing down anytime soon. We need to leave here and head back to Hogwarts." George said and Pansy shook her head
"You do realize Hogwarts is the first place they'd look, right? I swear you remind me of how dumb Longbottom can be at times." She rolled her eyes and laid Hermione on the bed lifting her shirt a bit. Hermione groaned in pain and whimpered
"Easy! It hurts so much.." Hermione whined as Ron walked over
"We were lucky you two showed up when you did, Thanks Pansy" Ron said in pain smiling weakly.
"Everyone get some rest. We need to discuss when Neville and Kingsley get here. There's plenty of Wiggenweld potion to heal up. There's plenty of food and drink in the cellar. There are beds down the hall." Draco spoke up as he had Astoria in his lap calming her down.
"Kingsley Shacklebot? Is he really still alive?" Ron asked and stood up after drinking a bottle of wiggenweld potion.
"I'm kind of offended you'd think I'd ever die before you, Mr. Weasley." The smirk and chuckle of the old man Kingsley Shacklebot came from behind Ron who turned quickly and laughed.
"No! Of course not! I just thought since everything went to Hell, you and the others who did survive would have gotten out of here with this chaos." Ron shrugged and Neville sighed
"Ron do you always think negative of people? I'm surprised you made it out without a scratch on your bod—" right as he said that Hermione's screams could be heard in the other room as Pansy was stitching her up
"Easy Hermione. You move too much it's gonna bleed worse than it was." Pansy tried to calm Hermione down but the pain was too much.
"What happened while you were in San Francisco?" Shacklebot asked and Ron sighed "we got lucky that we got away at all. Werewolves and dark wizards were sniffing around and they started a fight with some muggles. We got them out but something dark went wrong when there was an explosion. It killed half of them. We made out but Hermione was thrown into the Chinese fortune cookie factory where her side got hit hard. We had to get out but first I got Hermione to anyone who could help her."
Luna walked out of the room and sighed "Thank god Cho Chang was there. She's working the city with the police protecting any muggle or mudblood in the area. She got most of the wizards out but the muggles were hard to protect since we didn't want to expose ourselves."
"I think it's time we start exposing ourselves either way.." Albus spoke up as he walked out of the bedroom.
"The death eaters won't stop and you really think the muggles haven't seen us use magic in their cities already? We can remove the memories later but we can't just let the Death Eaters kill. The Dark Lord is back in some way." Albus spoke and shook his head looking at his father. Harry sighed and looked at Draco who had Astoria asleep in his lap.
"What do we do now? He's right.." Neville asked and Pansy walked out after cleaning up the blood
"We do what we do best. Kick ass and walk away like none of this happened." She hissed and looked at the fogged window.
"We can't stay here forever, we have a job to do.." Ginny spoke up and looked at Harry who nodded
"We need to come up with a plan first. Find any of the witches and wizards in each city, mudblood and pure who know how to fight and defend" Harry sighed and looked at the window with no emotion whatsoever.
"Voldemort may be dead, his legend lives on."
