A Hop Skip And A Jump Away

Breakfast War Council

"Do you find your guard acceptable?" Luna asked airily as she breezed into the breakfast room the next morning. She was with the rest of rescuees as they all pitched in to setting up the table for breakfast before sitting down. Kreacher and Dobby didn't disappoint, serving breakfast once everyone was seated.

"Luna, dear, do I really need a guard?" Harry asked in obvious amusement as he served himself from the various nearby platters. He had talked to her last night before they went back to bed and discovered that she had two sets of memories and one set matched the original timeline until her death. She was a seer but she was also like him and his husbands. It made Harry suspicious that Death, Fate, and Hecate were gathering his true family and sending them back to him one by one.

"You will when the babies start coming," Luna informed him, her ditzy persona falling away to reveal the hardened warrior she had become in the first time line. "Harry James Potter, I will not loose you. If I have to explain that again I will find a way to seal you and your husbands together in a safe house for a month while I run the magical world and then subject you to the displeasure of Minerva, Narcissa, and Molly. If you are very naughty I'll be certain to add Bellatrix and Poppy to the list."

Harry shuddered and meekly returned to his breakfast, knowing full well that she was absolutely serious about her threat. Severus and Voldemort snickered at his misfortune until Luna turned a dangerous glower on them, promising retribution if they continued. They too returned to their breakfast with much snickering in turn by the DA.

"So... why were we attacked? I thought the war was over with what happened to Dumbledore and Harry's adoption and all," Fred asked the room at large.

"I was the main target. Someone squealed about my seer status and the fact that I was acting with intimate knowledge of the new Harry," Luna answered before taking a sip of her tea. "Fudge and the Unspeakables have decided it would be a good thing to know how you think and if possible turn you into a captive experiment."

"Lovely!" Harry growled moodily. He hated winding up dead repeatedly for no reason, as was proven in the previous timeline by various assassination attempts. It was also exactly what would happen if the Unspeakables got ahold of him.... again. "Alright, to protect Severus, Voldemort, and the baby."

"The baby, neither I nor Severus need constant supervision nor are we still mortal as Death so kindly pointed out," Voldemort countered pointedly. Before Harry could try to counter the argument Luna silenced him with a spell, smiling widely.

"Certainly, your Darkness," Luna agreed amiably, having no intention what so ever to let either man wander around without someone as back up. "We'll retrieve Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick once breakfast is done. They are probably getting very tired of their illegal imprisonment at the Ministry."

"Yes, Luna," Harry said in a resigned tone, breaking the silencing charm with an absent thought.

Normally, he had no trouble standing up to anyone, male or female but when particular people in his life that he cared about started ganging up on him... Well he had a much harder time standing his ground when that happened in part because he knew that they were trying their hardest to keep him alive and sane. Not that this stopped him from finding loop holes when he needed them or finding himself in trouble that he didn't start.

"Kreacher? Dobby?" Harry called. He had a sudden idea but needed to know a few things before trying to make it work.

The two house elves popped in and looked at him expectantly, neither overly excited nor scornful of their master.

"I need to know if the two of you can get into the Ministry cells. The idiots who have decided I need to be turned into a captive experiment grabbed two my allies," Harry explained succinctly.
