Secrets In The Castle

8) Gone

Kings Cross Station

Sirius- I practically bounce up and down in place as I eagerly watch the all to familiar crimson steam engine pull into the station.

Remus- Watching my mate rather amused as he radiates with excitement. (Chuckles Softly) All of the students come rushing off the express, going to their respective family.

Sirius- My two cubs get within arms length and I immediately pull them to my chest. (Hums Happily) "My babies!" I can't help but to take in their familiar scent, nuzzling each one respectfully.

Dante and Harry- (Groans and Whines) "Padfoot!"

Sirius- Letting them go, but not able to keep my hands off them as I fix their rumpled uniforms that they still wear. "I'm sorry, it's just that this is the first time since you were babies you've been out of our sight for so long and we worried."

Dante- (Smiles Fondly) "We know Padfoot, but honest we are okay."

Harry- A little more willingly this time, we give our Godfather a much needed hug. "We missed you guys to, so much."

Remus- Having noticed the station is nearly cleared, I gesture that we leave as well.

Diagon Alley/ Florean Fortescue's
Ice-cream

Sirius- Sitting down outside at a table in the shadows. "How was your first year?"

Harry- (Smiles Brightly) Taking a bite of my chocolate salted pretzel ice-cream . "It was awesome!"

Sirius- (Chuckles) Taking a sip of my peanut butter and banana shake, I brush some of his unruly hair out of his eyes. "That's great to hear. Make any friends? Who's your favorite teacher? What's your favorite class?"

Harry- Glancing at Dante bemused. "We have a close-nit circle of friends; Draco Malfoy (Slytherin), Daphne Greengrass (RavenClaw), Pansy Parkinson (Slytherin), Theadore Knot (RavenClaw), Blaze Zambini (RavenClaw), Hermione Granger (RavenClaw), Luna Lovegood (Slytherin) and Neville Longbottom (Hufflepuff). My favorite teacher is Horace Slughorn and my favorite class is Defense Against The Dark Arts."

Dante- (Rolls Eyes) "Someone is gonna take that joke the wrong way someday...our friends are not my minions." Pausing briefly as I take a sip of my chocolate peanut butter shake. "My favorite teacher is Filius Flitwick and my favorite class is Potions."

Sirius- Sharing a mirrored look of amusement with Remus. (Mutters) "If only you knew pup."

Remus- (Smiles Proudly) Not only were they all at the top of their classes and getting high marks, but they were all co-existing peacefully. "You've created House Unity!"

Harry and Dante- "Not really."

Sirius- (Frowns Deeply) Looking between the two, taking in their mirrored looks of displeasure. "What do you mean?"

Dante- (Growls Lowly) "If you noticed out of all our friends, not a single one of them is a Lion."

Remus- (Sighs Heavily) "We did."

Sirius- Torn between wanting and not wanting to really know. "What happened?"

Harry- "There are three boys in Gryffindor first year, who were wanting top rank over everyone else. Everyone no matter the House or year stayed as far away from them as possible."

Remus- (Frowns) "Who are these three boys?"

Dante- "Ronald Weaselly, Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnegan. Needless to say the three were dealt with after they continued to terrorize my Hufflepuff after numerous warnings."

Sirius- Looking at the boy with glowing crimson orbs. (Hisses Lowly) "You didn't kill them did you?"

Dante- (Scuffs) "No, death was to merciful. But some well placed parcel spells have them scared for life."

Remus- We regard the boy both proud and a bit scared.

Five Minutes Later

3rd Person P.O.V- Loud screams filled the air as patrons that were once shopping ran for cover as black an white smoke filled the air, both the Order and Death Eaters apparating into the Alley.

Sirius- Getting to my feet, glancing around frantically. "Rem, did you know about this?"

Remus- (Shakes Head) Wand in hand, gripped tightly. "No I didn't." I access the situation and all possible routs of escape.

Sirius- Grabbing the boys by their robes as I pull them to their feet. "Let's move." Keeping a tight hold on them, I maneuver us through the crowd, hoping we'd get lost in it.

3rd Person P.O.V- Remus was not only separated from his partner and cubs, but was unwillingly forced into a fight.

Albus- Following behind the mangy mutt, I have him pinned between two buildings. (Sneers Disdainfully) "There is nowhere to go Sirius, hand the boys over."

Sirius- Having wrapped my arms around both the boys, twisting my fingers into the front of their robes as I hold them to me. (Glares) "NO!"

Tom- Having stalked up behind Albus. "I want my son, I don't care what is done with the other boy." I glare heatedly at the man who dared to take my family from me.

Dante- Pulling out of my Godfathers grip, I run to my father throwing my arms around his waist. "Father!"

Albus- My eyes widen in shock. "How?"

Tom- (Laughs) "I told you Albus, he always knew." With that, I rip down the anti-apparition wards taking my son home.

Albus- Glaring hatefully at the spot my enemy once stood. "NO! NO! NO!" Turning to glare at the mutt who still clings to the boy whom is the key to well everything. (Smirks Sinisterly) "Hand the boy over Sirius and I may let you to live."

Sirius- (Growls Lowly) "No!"

Albus- (Shakes Head) "Pity." With a flick of my wand and a mumbled incantation a flash of green hits the man as he falls lifeless to the ground.

Harry- I fall to the ground still held in my Godfathers arms as I cling to his now lifeless body. (Cries) "SIRI!"

Remus- I felt the bond with my mate snap and I fall to my knees as the excruciating pain wracks my body. (Howls)

Albus- Ignoring the utter chaos that I've literally created, I wave my wand at the boy hitting him with a spell before grabbing him by the arm and apparating away myself.
