Enigums

New World - 2

Severus can feel Harry's turmoil and he whispers into his ear, "Love, wake up. You're safe. I'm safe, we are all safe. Follow my voice and open your eyes for me." Harry struggles to free himself from the memories of his old life but once he hears Sev's voice he is able to pull out. He opens his eyes and looks at his husband. He takes a shaky breath. He is not back there, he is here with Severus. Severus kisses him softly, "What were you thinking about love?" Tom looks at his cousin, he looks pale, whatever he remembered couldn't have been pretty. Harry closes his eyes, rubs his temple and takes a deep breath. He lets out the air he is holding, opens his eyes and looks at the sky. Severus is running his hands up and down Harry's arms. He's waiting for Harry to gather his thoughts and places a kiss to the back of his head.

Harry runs his hand over the gras, "I was thinking about the day I found out about our broken bond and everything that happened after. All the revelations that came to light. All the damage Dumbledore did with his lies. All the death and destruction that happened in the name of the "Greater Good". All the people that suffered because of him and his sheep." Tom shudders, he had a first row seat to the consequences of Albus's foolishness. After his death at the Battle of Hogwarts, Lady Magic was waiting for him and she showed him everything that old fool did. He was the only one who watched Lady Magic's punishment till the bitter end. He is glad Harry found out while he was alive. He could get some revenge against those who wronged him at least.

Severus wraps his arms around Harry, places a kiss on his neck. "It won't happen this time. Our bond is unbreakable. Lady Magic, Fate, Destiny and Death are on our side. Dumbledore and the others won't be able to do anything. You won't have to go through that pain again," he reminds Harry. He knows what Harry went through, his husband shared those memories with him all those years ago. He puts his shin on his shoulder and strokes Harry's stomach, he won't let anything happen to his family. Harry covers Severus' hands with his. He knows Albus can't do anything to them but the fear is still there. He turns his head and inhales Sev's scent, it calms him. He places a kiss on Severus' jaw, "I love you so much." Severus kisses the tip of Harry's nose, "Love you."

Andromeda looks at them, she was long dead when Albus' crimes were revealed. She was shocked to learn what the Weasley trio did. She would never have guessed they would be so evil and egotistical. Her grandson Teddy, from her old life, had left The UK and settled down in France with his wife after her death. Luckily he escaped the death and destruction in the UK and was spared but he wasn't, no one really was in the end. Dumbledore's reach was far and wide and the UK wasn't the only country that suffered. Harry told her Teddy was shattered when he found out his parents' love wasn't real but based on a dark love spell cast by Dumbledore. She is glad the old fool and the three leeches will soon have their world come crashing down. She looks at her watch, "We should have back. I'm sure the others want to talk to us before we have to meet with them."

Five minutes later the four of them enter the conference room. Draco and Remus are already there. Draco looks up and sees his aunt, "Mother told me what happened. After Molly left, she went to the pre-school and tried to tell them how to teach the children. Mme Edgecomb overheard her and she was not happy. If it was up to her Dumbledore wouldn't even be here."

Severus looks at Remus, "What about you?" Remus is silent for a minute, "Luckily, I haven't had a run in with any of the Weasleys or Dumbledore. Filius told me he had a chat with Minerva. He gave her a piece of his mind, about how she turned a blind eye to a lot of things and also about leaving Harry on the doorstep. She came to me after their talk."

Earlier

Remus is sitting in his office when there is a knock on his door, he flicks his wand and sees Minerva standing outside. He calls her in, "Professor, what can I do for you?" She steps into the room and looks around. It's warm and welcome, she walks to the desk and takes a seat. She takes a good look at him, he looks healthy, far healthier than he ever did at Hogwarts. Maybe he can give her some answers. She fires off her questions, "Honestly, I do not know where to start. How did you come to be here? What made you leave? How did you become friends with someone like Lucius? And how is Regulus Black alive? You and Draco? Isn't he a bit young for you?"
