Harry apparated with Cedric to Black Manor and took a sigh. "We're here." Harry muttered as he felt increasingly anxious. "Hey, hey... you ok? I can smell the anxiety on you." Cedric said and was about to embrace Harry but then stopped and stepped back, thinking better of it. Harry gave a small smile and nodded before walking up to the house. The sun was out and it was a warm afternoon with willow Katcins and fluffy dandelion seeds, floating around in the air. Moving around the house to the back garden Harry led Cedric to a patio and many outdoor furniture. Harry sat down, but Cedric just couldn't, too engrossed in anticipation. "You ready?" Harry asked as he looked up and had to suppress a wide smile at seeing the beyond excited look on Cedric's face. "READY!" Cedric practically jumped on the spot. "Kreacher?" Harry asked as he looked around and smiled softly at the house elf when he appeared, "yes kind master Harry?" Harry smiled at the comment even more before speaking. "Could you please bring the children?" Harry asked softly, Kreacher glanced at Cedric suspiciously before apparating away. Cedric's breath increased and he felt like he was about to faint. "Hey, hey, hey. Don't worry, I'm sure they'll love you." Harry said as he patted Cedric awkwardly on the shoulder to which Cedric leaned into the touch just as Harry broke away, making Cedric whimper silently at the lack of contact. "I bought them gifts." Cedric muttered as he took out two beautiful teddies, one of them a lion the other a badger. "Oh my god they are perfect, Cedric you do realise though, the best gift you can give them is your love." Harry said smiling, Cedric felt his eyes tear up as he sniffled and smiled widely. "That's all I will ever give them." Cedric replied, and at this with a pop Kreacher appeared with two of the most beautiful children Cedric had ever seen.

Archer and Gabriel looked to see their dad and another man standing next to him. They recognised him vaguely, maybe from a picture or something? But non the less he felt so familiar and they were drawn to him. "DAD!!!" The two shouted as they scampered over to Harry. Harry smiled as he picked them up and placed the two on his hip. "Dad...? Who dis?" Archer asked in his slurred young speech. Weakly pointing to Cedric as he giggled childlike. "He look... familiar?" Gabriel said in a more question tense then a statement. Harry smiled at his two beautiful children. "This person is someone who is very important to you." The twins beamed and looked back at Cedric. "Why you important to us?" Gabriel asked as he prodded Cedric's cheek and nose. Cedric started crying and smiled so wide it was like his old smile when he and Harry were together. "He's important because, he is your other dad..." Harry smiled weakly at Cedric, which was the best thing Cedric had got from Harry so far, so he took it with open arms. "Hahaha, Dad?" Archer asked as he traced Cedric's eyebrow with his fingers. "YES! YES! I AM YOUR DAD!" Cedric squealed as he took the two children and spun them around as he hugged them, the garden was filled with the laughing of Cedric and the giggling of the twins. "Why haven't we met dad before dad?" Gabriel asked as he turned to Harry. "That is a long, long, long story." Harry almost said to himself as he looked away from Cedric's gaze. "Just know that both of us love you so much and there is nothing more important than you two." Harry took Archer back as he hugged him whilst Cedric tickled Gabriel's stomach making the child laugh hysterically. Suddenly the group was snapped out of their happy daze by the popping sound of an arriving elf. Harry turned around and smiled at Kreacher. "Hello Kreacher, what is it?" Harry asked politely as he knelt down. "Dumbledore as well as the Order have requested your presence for an emergency meeting." Harry's face went serious as he nodded. Turing back to Cedric he walked up to him. "Hey Cedric could you please watch these two? I have a few things I need to attend to." Cedric almost jumped in excitement. "YES! THANK YOU HARRY!" Harry beamed at Cedric, sending butterflies in the Vampire's stomach. Softly, Harry handed Archer over to Cedric as he smiled and walked back to the Kreacher, looking back one last time he smiled at the three before grabbing Kreacher's hand and apparating away.

Harry found himself in Grimauld place and was happy to see Tonks, Remus and Sirius were already there. "Ahhh Harry you are here, now we may begin." Dumbledore said calmly however there was a high level of seriousness in his tone. 'What could this possibly be about?' Harry thought as he sat between Tonks and Sirius. "Now there are several serious matters we must attend. Firstly, I believe Voldemort has made a connection between his and Harry's mind, it's why Harry has glimpses of the Dark Lord's perspective." The room went silent as everyone looked at Harry with shock and pity. "So what do we do?" Harry asked as he looked around. "I will be placing you under oclumency lessons taught by Professor Snape." Dumbledore gestured to the greasy, goth man in the far corner. "The hell he is! Tonks and Remus both have skills in oclumency they can teach him, not that greasy haired bat who always bullies him!" Sirius yelled as he stood up, making Dumbledore sigh. "Severus is by far the best oclumest here however I'll alway Professor Lupin and Tonks to teach him, provided that Severus also has a hand in his lessons." Sirius paused and stayed stood up, finally he looked satisfied after what looked like an internal conflict judging by his expressions, and sat back down, giving Harry a wink. There was a long silence before Molly Weasley spoke up. "And what of the second problem." Dumbledore's face turned grave as he took a deep sigh and stood up, hands behind his back. "There is a new rising of dark power, one that is not under Voldemort's control, the next dark wizard and if I am right they will be a much worse force than Voldemort himself." Dumbledore spoke as he sat in an armchair facing the fire. "What power is this, Dumbledore?" Molly asked as she put down her plates that she was about to clean to get fully involved in the conversation. "The LeFay descendent, he and his allies have been raiding camps, both death eater and order of the Phoenix. I here his allies are in control of France and Italy. And there are rumours that his followers and power grows by the day. This could be our next dark lord, a threat we must stop now." Dumbledore turned to look at the faces of those present at the meeting, everyone save Snape looked beyond speechless. "I highly doubt the young Slytherin-" Harry interjected here, "Oscar!" Harry exclaimed as he scowled at Snape. Snape merely smirked but fell silent. "I don't think he is evil or dark, he has a daughter that he seems to love and cherish, so I don't think he's bad." Harry said as his face turned into an expression of utmost sympathy. "HE HAS A DAUGHTER?!" Dumbledore cried as he raced over to Harry and gripped both of his shoulders. "Yes, I believe her name is Freya, he had her with her last time I saw him-" This time it was Harry who was interrupted. "LAST TIME YOU SAW HIM?! HE WAS IN CORNWALL?!?" Dumbledore yelled as he started pacing the room. "Why what is bad about him being in Cornwall?" Harry asked as he started to be worried. "There are certain... places there. That would be best he never found. That is all I may say on the subject. But what I will say, is that now we know where he is, we must capture him." Dumbledore said as he looked around at the group as a whole. "Why? He hasn't done anything wrong!" Tonks stood up however Dumbledore put his hand up. "He is a danger to us, and he has broken many laws, think of it as just another wizard fugitive you are chasing as ab Auror." Dumbledore calmly spoke, masking his anxious state. Tonks looked like she was about to say something but Lupin gave her a look, making her sit down. "So how are we gonna do this?" Harry asked as he looked around the room, to see tense faces looking back. "You said you saw him? Did he reveal himself to you?" Dumbledore asked, Harry nodded in reply. "Then our plan is simple, you shall lure him to an agreed spot, where we shall be waiting, then we can quickly apprehend him and the child." Dumbledore said calmly, if they weren't already silent they were now. Finally they all looked up at him and nodded. "We shall do it tonight." Sirius said as he stood up closely followed by Remus and Harry. "I'll ask if the shifters want to help." Harry added as Dumbledore nodded and smiled in a thankful gesture. With that the three grabbed hands and disapparated away from Grimauld place.
