10.
They arrive directly in the kitchen where a tea service is waiting for them. The teapot had a spell to keep the tea hot. Fawkes rubs his head on that of the young wizard before disappearing.
Harry sat calmly at the table pouring himself a cup of tea while Severus was deep in thought. The vampire had never thought that eliminating the Dark Lord would be so easy. All he had to do was ask the goblins. I, the youngest Potions Master, head of the Slytherin house, did not think to go to the goblins. But my...
"So, honey..." The young nymph almost choked on her tea when she saw her husband's expression. It was priceless. The vampire sighed and joined her husband at the table. The green eyes pours him a cup of tea.
"Thank you." Severus takes a sip then crosses his arms and stares at his husband. However, this has no effect on the youngest who has a small smile. "What is it, Severus ?" Harry asks as he takes another sip of tea. The vampire raises an eyebrow. Now I am Severus. He furrows his eyes as he realizes what he's thinking. The person he had seen in Gringotts was no longer the boy desperately seeking happiness. No, he had seen a proud and confident future lord.
The potion master had been afraid that their return to the wizarding world would be too soon. However, he was magnificently surprised by his husband. His lips stretch into a small smile without him realizing it. While the little nymph's smile grows as she understands what it's about. He gets up and comes to sit on his vampire.
The older one glances at him jadedly. I was thinking too. "A real glue pot." Harry glares at him. "Like you don't appreciate our proximity." Severus kisses his forehead in response.
The savior of the magical world beams. He takes his husband's hand and rests it on his stomach. "Do you feel something? My gut tells me I'll know if I am." He tenderly strokes his husband's hand knowing that the subject of children is sensitive for him. Since he became a spy he had given up that dream of having a family. It was more extreme with his transformation into a vampire. The birth rate is very low in this species, one baby every 2 years .
Severus takes a deep breath. "My vampiric senses will tell me that too." He squeezes his little chalice's hand tenderly.
"Well, let's see what my parents had to say." Harry conjures the orb in the palm of his other hand.
Forge contemplates the fireplace in their common room sitting on the sofa with melancholy. A short time later his twin joined him. Gred puts a hand on his shoulder to comfort him.
"At least he is far from this war." Fred says. "Hm." George does not take his eyes off the fire. "And it's not like we don't have contact with him anymore." Forge nods. "Maybe one day you'll get together." Gorge blushes when he hears this. "I've already asked him." Fred then punches him in the shoulder. "And you dare to tell me that now." Gred cries out.
"So why do you look so depressed?" Gorge massages his shoulder. "Everyone leaves. Hogwarts no longer has its former prestige. How do you expect us to play pranks without students?" Fred sighs defeatedly. He glances at the fireplace before his face lights up.
"Let's run away." George turns his head toward him with a big smile. "I was waiting for you to suggest it. Oh and don't forget to say goodbye to Luna."
This time it's Fred who blushes. "How?" George stares at him in outrage. "Who do you think I am?" He says with disdain.
It is only a few minutes before it is time for dinner. The twins reduce their luggage to put it in their purse before running away. They let themselves be guided by the map of the Mauradeurs before reaching a wall. A house elf appeared behind them before they disappeared.
Harry runs his hand through the hair of his husband leaning against the headboard of the bed. The vampire has his head on his thighs reading a book from the Hogwarts private quarters library. The book floats above his face.
"Severus, can I braid your hair?" the savior of the magical world asks. "No." says the vampire flatly. "Why?" questions Harry. "I said no Harry." Chalice sighs defeatedly.
"But I'm bored and I know you are too. I've already read every book in the library and that's three times you've read that book, Severus." The older man doesn't answer and continues to read.
"Oh!" exclaims the younger one. The potion master gives his soul mate a suspicious look. "Gaby?!" The house elf immediately appears. "What can I do for you Master Harry?" The elf asks. "I'm the master of Hogwarts aren't I?" Gaby nods. "So if I want there is no one left in the castle." Harry states. "You just have to ask Hogwarts master Harry." Gaby replies. "And I forgot. Master Severus, Master Harry two redheads are outside your private wing. Hogwarts says this information will please you Master Harry." A big smile stretches across the green eyed wizard's lips. As Severus pinches his nose feeling an upcoming headache coming on. He meets his chalice's sparkling gaze before returning to his reading. The latter kisses his cheek. "Gaby bring them in the sitting room please." The butler bows before disappearing.
Luna finishes packing and then miniaturizes them to put them in her purse just in time to get to dinner. She had already released her eagle to send a message to her dad before going to her room. Her roommates don't pay attention to her because they think she's crazy. This amplifies the amused smile that she has on her lips.
The three witches leave the room towards the great hall. As soon as they're in the room, they all meet at Hogsmeade. Everyone, the teachers, the students from every house who still resided in the castle, the matron and even Argus Filch is there with his cat Mrs Norris. They stare at each other in stupor, not understanding what has just happened.
A moment ago they were in the great hall and now they're in Hogsmeade in the night with just their purse and their wand. They are easy prey for Death Eaters.
The teachers quickly recover from their emotions and begin to appeal to the students in their home. However, Dolores Umbridge tries to apparate in front of the school but fails every time. She tries the portkey with a ribbon in her purse, but it destroys itself in her hand. No, no, no, no. My porcelain collection. My precious collection. She doesn't waste any time and apparate in front of the Ministry of Magic to warn the minister.
The head of the Gryffondor household looks up when she notices the disappearance of her colleague. Then she sighs at the disappearance of two of his lions. Now's really not the time. She consults with her colleagues on how to proceed. They do not have access to their owls to contact the parents of the students and according to their attempts the return to Hogwarts is impossible. They then decided to take all the students to the ministry so that they could contact their parents there. This is safer. They will directly apparate those who have their permit for the others they will take turns to apparate them in small groups. In addition, she will be able to announce the disappearance of the twins directly to the father. Although this idea strongly displeases her. That students from his house disappear even if it is during an unexpected event is still his responsibility. She hopes they can return to Hogwarts soon.
Two red heads appear before them. They are both sitting side by side on the living room sofa. Severus wonders why he accepts them. And decides to blame it on the bond that has softened him considerably. He glanced at Harry who was smiling brightly. Hugs! I just want to kiss his full lips. The potions master pinches his nose tiredly. The couple did not change their appearance to receive them. The blond hates his old appearance and the black hair was convinced by his husband.
"Oh my..." Fred starts.
"It won't be our dear little brother..." George continued.
"And our dear Snapey?" Gred finish. They are happy to see them in good health.
"But why..." Forge says
"Are they so..." Gred complete.
"Different from their previous appearance?"
"And look they are..."
"Sitting so close to each other."
"Maybe they have?" The Weasley twins looked each other straight in the eye.
"Nope!" They say at the same time.
"What brings you here?" The vampire is getting tired of people talking about him as if he wasn't there.
"Oh, Snapey, it's not that we don't like you, but you've been missing with our Harrykins for three months. We have to make sure our little brother is okay." They speak at the same time.
"I missed you too Fred, George. Please sit down and have a cup of tea. I have so much to tell you." Harry declares. That's all it takes for Gaby to arrive with a tea set.
"So you are married. Oh dear Merlin! This is fucking awesome! Who will think that my little brother is a nymph! It's like the bottom by excellence! And he is married to not just anyone but our dear professor of potions who is a vampire. You are our couple's goal now!" The twins say with excitement. They have stars in their eyes and look at them with admiration.
"I want to see the look on Ginny's face when she finds out."
"Don't forget mom!" Fred adds with a mocking smile. Then their expression turns darker. How dare they use our little brother like that? Are they tired of living?
The nymph and the vampire don't miss killing intent of the twins even if it only lasts a second. They exchange a glance before returning to the red heads in front of them. Even if Harry doesn't ask them, that doesn't mean they're going to stand by while their family dares to touch their precious little brother. They will make them pay, it's only a matter of time.
"If you want help getting revenge, don't hesitate to come to us." The twins say in unison.
"I'm taking this down." The chalice says with an innocent smile. During his story his position on the sofa has changed. He is lying on it with his head on his husband's thighs. This last one makes him little tickles in the hair. The vampire started to do it as an automatism.
The Weasley twins are delighted to see their little brother so at ease. It seems that they found themselves well, Forge. George thinks as he glances at his twin brother. I'm of the same thought, Gred. Fred smiles at him.
"So what is the plan now?" The twins ask.
Severus looks at the state of his private quarters. Even though Horace Slughorn taught the art of potions in his place he could not come here. Only he could enter his private quarters, even Dumbledore could not get past his protection. That's why he wasn't worried about him entering his laboratory.
The black hair feels strange here. This place reminds him of his loneliness and how unimportant his life was to him and to others. The vampire has never given importance to his well-being. The only time he is at peace with himself is when he is making potions. It's only him, his cauldron and the ingredients.
His chalice takes him out of his trance by taking his hand. He throws a glance to him quickly then turns his glance towards his living room. Nevertheless the potions master shakes his hand.
Yes, now he is not alone. Severus has a very affectionate chalice that changes him from day to day. He never felt as free as he did with this brat. This brat who decided to call him by this most silly nickname. It's not that he minds, but he's never had this level of intimacy with anyone. However, he knows that it won't be long before he accepts it completely if he hasn't already.
"Who would have thought that I would so easily get into the private quarters of my famous potions teacher. Plus I'd get to see his private lab." Harry exclaims with a teasing tone. I never thought we'd get married in the first place.
Severus rolls his eyes and guides him to his laboratory while keeping his hand in his.
After their discussion with the twins, Harry asked Gaby to move them to another wing of Hogwarts. While they will explore the castle now that her husband has kicked everyone out. Also, no one is allowed to enter Hogwarts without the permission of the savior of the magical world. The castle has become an impenetrable fortress again. They will first go through the vampire's quarters and then go to the Headmaster's office and his private quarters.
The potions master looks in his inventory for any potions that might help them if the old fool has set traps. He puts them in his purse and then they both leave his quarters and head for their next destination.
