Back In Time

Chapter 19

Harry's POV
"Arthur, call Amelia and explain what happened." Sirius said.

Arthur flooed called Amelia Bones and asked her to come to Burrow immediately. When she flooed in with two more people, I realized that they were Frank and Alice Longbottom. 

"What happened, Arthur? And how are Fabian and Gideon Alive?" Amelia asked.

"Molly blocked my bond with Fabian and Gideon. They weren't dead. They were held as prisoners by someone who helped Molly." Arthur said.

Frank and Alice were watching what the Malfoys, Severus, and Manus were doing. 

Amelia cast sleeping charm on Molly and took her to the ministry to register a case on her and put a trial tomorrow.

Alice and Frank walked to me and ruffled my hair. "We are glad that at least Harry is alive. We will miss Lily and James." Alice said.

"There is nothing to miss them for Alice. They never wanted Harry. We had a complete purge and got our memories that were blocked by Dumbledore. Lily didn't want Harry and tried to give him up to me, James wanted his freedom and almost gave my cub to Sirius." Remus said as he held me a little tighter. 

Not that I complained. I liked that they cared for me enough to raise me. Draco also tightened his grip on my hand.

"My sister has not tried anything on you and your family, did she?" Narcissa asked as she looked at Frank, Alice, and Neville.

"She did appear at the front yard of our house. But then, she, along with her husband and his brother, and I think Barteminius Crouch Jr. suddenly vanished." Frank said.

Narcissa sighed in relief. 

"Where is Neville, Frank?" Remus asked.

"With my mother, back in the manor." Frank said.

"Go get him. As for why, we can explain later." Sirius said. 

Frank didn't try to question him. He asked Arthur if he could floo to his Manor. When Arthur said he could, he flooed home and came back in five minutes with baby Neville in his arms, who was crying a little, and he was fuming. 

When Alice saw Nev crying, she took him and held him closer and rubbed his back as she rocked him for a few moments. When he calmed down and sniffed, she looked at Frank, who was still muttering something. All I could hear was murder, hurt, and my Neville.

"What happened, Frank? Was there an attack?" Alice asked.

Frank had walked to Alice and put his hand on Neville's back. "My mother is what happened. She was trying to force Neville to use magic. I heard his cry the moment I stepped into the manor." He said.

"And how did you know about this, Sirius, Remus?" Alice asked.

"We need to speak. A lot. Do you have time?" Remus said.

Arthur nodded. The Weasley kids wanted to hear as well. Alice and Frank also nodded. We knew Dumbledore could floo in or apparate any time to the Burrow, so we decided that we would talk in Malfoy Manor, where Dumbledore can't enter.

As we stepped into Malfoy Manor, Lucius guided all of us to the private lounge. 

Sirius said, "Alice, Frank, Arthur, we want you to vow that you would not tell what you hear today to anyone outside."

They nodded and gave the vow.

Sirius explained what had happened in the bank. Severus, Remus, and Manus filled in as well. 

"You did vow that you would not try to actually harm anyone now, right?" Alice asked as she tried to hide Neville. 

Manus nodded. "I vowed on my magic after Lord Death had stitched my soul back into one piece. I will not tear my soul, and neither will I go back to my psychotic ways. I plan to reserve that only for the old man." He said.

"I agree and accept the last part. Does anyone have any idea what had happened to our Neville when he was with my mother?" Frank asked.

"All I know was that he had the same amount of blocks I had on my magic. I know what my relatives did to me was wrong, but he couldn't know that what Madam Longbottom did to him was wrong until a certain age. During Hogwarts, he couldn't perform a lot of magic right. In the later years, I got to know that he never had his own wand. He used your wand, Lord Longbottom. When we asked him to get his own wand, he got scared. We did manage to convince him to get his own wand. He flourished after that. He was the best at Herbology. As I am Master of Death, he could have some sort of link to Nature. It would be better to get an inheritance test for him." I said.

Frank nodded. He said that he would get one for all three of them. They wanted to know what Dumbledore had done to them, and if he did, they wanted it out of their systems.

Sirius stiffened a little. When I looked at him, he gave me a smile and shook his head. "That was Dumbledore. He flooed into Grimmauld Place. Looks like he still wants Harry." He said.

"Why not go there with us? He might stop coming for good." Severus said.

Arthur said he had to go home, so he took his children back to Burrow, promising that he would ward the house against Dumbledore. Alice and Frank took Neville to Gringotts. 

The Malfoys, Severus, Manus, Sirius, and Remus, with me in their arms, flooed to Grimmauld Place. When we flooed in, Dumbledore was waiting for us. 

"Sirius, my boy, we need Harry to be trained. I know the right people for that. Give him here. I shall take him to them." He said with the damn twinkle in his eyes. He tried to caste a compulsion charm, but seeing Severus, he didn't.

"And who are they, Albus? Do you think they could do a better job that House Black, House Malfoy, House Prince, House Slytherin, and House Gaunt combined?" Severus asked.

"Why would the remaining houses even help Harry, Severus, my boy?" He asked. The audacity he had.

"Because House Malfoy will stand by the heir Malfoy's mate, who happens to be Harry James Sirius Potter-Black, my son and godson, Albus. House Black, because, as I said, Harry is my son. Remus is also one of his parents, so don't even try." Sirius said as he stood in front of Remus, who held me tightly.

"House Prince will stand by Harry because I am, as of now, his godfather." Severus said. He had this satisfied smirk when Albus looked shocked to death.

"House Slytherin and House Gaunt will stand by Heir Potter-Black because I have been named his godfather. I am Lord Manus Malvin Slytherin-Gaunt, Severus' mate." Manus said. 

I knew Manus wanted to cackle a little based on his expression, but I had to applaud him for holding himself. 

"I didn't know you had a mate, Severus." Albus said.

"I didn't know you needed to know everything about my life, Albus." Severus replied. 

The old man was speechless. He couldn't ask for anything anymore or say anything back at Severus.

"You still didn't tell who wanted to train my son." Remus said.

"They are someone who you don't know, my boy." Albus said.

"Were you planning on sending my son to the Dursleys, Albus?" Remus asked.

Albus paled a little and took a step back when Moony growled a little. He still wanted to send me to those bastards.

"And if you were, let me tell you one thing, you can't. Because you need all of our permission for that, I know that we would never allow that to happen." Sirius said.

"And don't even try to get the people to think that Manus is the next Dark Lord just because he is Lord Slytherin. You will know that Voldemort is dead. My mark has disappeared completely." Severus said as he showed his arm.
