Episode 17
Minnie
“What in the hell is going on!” Minnie’s voice echoed around the seedy warehouse where Harry was chained up. “I’ve been visiting my family for a couple of months. I come back to this. Albus, you have a lot to explain. I know you have treated the boy harder than anyone else, but this is madness!”
Albus looked at her with a soft smile. She hated it, she hated how his eyes sparkled. This man was full of shite and had been since Minie knew him. If only he could die. Then she could take over the order.
“The boy ran off to another club. He was sleeping with one of them! Can you believe that? After everything we did for this ungrateful brat! He is a traitor, and he will be taken care of.”
Minnie looked over at the young man knocked out in the chair.
“There must be an explanation Albus! Harry has always been loyal, even after how he has been treated. I have kept my mouth shut for too long. You have done nothing but abuse that boy since you brought him here. At least here he had food and an education, BUT you are no better than his relatives!” Minnie glared and crossed her arms.
“You don’t know what you are talking about Minnie. You were not here for months! You don’t know what has been going on! I have raised the boy like his own parents would have raised him! The ungrateful little brat! Ron is dead because of him! Poor Molly was devastated!” Dumbledore barked out. He was becoming more unhinged as he grew older.
“Ungrateful! This child has never been ungrateful! Ronald on the other hand. He was ungrateful! I assume Ronald let his temper get the best of him or did something stupid. That is why he is dead.” Minnie didn’t feel Tonks behind her then she felt the butt of a gun hit her temple.
“I do apologize Minnie. I will not kill you, at least not yet. You are one of my oldest friends. I do not need you in my way.” That was the last thing she heard before everything went black.
Severus
“Lucius, you need to stay here. I do not want you coming.” Severus knew this argument wasn’t going to go over well. Grey eyes glared at him.
“You are going to try to get me to stay? When Harry needs us!” The doctor crossed his arms and glared back.
“I’m not trying I’m telling you. You are staying. You will be here with Draco. Harry will need you when we bring him home. He will need you to mother him to death.” Severus tried to convince him.
“Then you shouldn’t go either! He will need a doctor as well!”
Severus shook his head. This was the part he didn’t want to tell Lucius to remind him how scary this situation was. “Pet, I need to go. What if Harry needs life-saving care at that moment. Not that he will! We need to be ready for anything.”
There were tears in his husband’s eyes. God, he hated it when Lucius cried.
“Severus, I love that boy! You will check to see if he isn’t hurt too bad. You will bring him back home! Or I swear I…” Severus cut him off with a kiss.
“I promise to bring him home and myself home. When have I ever broken a promise to you?” Lucius pressed their foreheads together.
“Fine, I’ll stay. You bring him home. Make sure Reggie doesn’t get himself killed either. Harry is attached to him.”
“Yes, Pet. I promise everyone will come home….” He didn’t say in one piece, but they will all make it home alive.
Tom
“Why the fuck are we just standing around! We need to go!” Sirius paced as he puffed on a cigarette. One of Tom’s cigarettes that he stole straight from his mouth.
“We are about to leave. Calm down, Sirius. It is not good to go into this with a hot head.” Tom walked around his desk. His calloused hands wrapped around the younger man’s stomach.
“I promise you we will bring him back. I know you feel like you were not there for him and that this is your fault.” Sirius tensed in his arms. Of course, he knows his boy’s worries. “It isn’t your fault Sirius. I know your relationship isn’t how you want it.”
“He was mad at me right before he got captured. I don’t know what happened. We were going to take a ride together. Then I called him Pup. It's a nickname I used to call him when he was younger. I didn’t even think he would remember. Maybe he did, but then he just left. Told me he didn’t want to ride with me.” Tom felt him lean back into his embrace. He allowed his lips to kiss Sirius’s neck.
“When we get him back you need to talk with him. You know your relationship will need work. All of our relationships need work. Yours and Reggies, Harry and yours and mine and yours. It's worth it right?”
Sirius turned in his arms and wrapped his around Tom’s neck.
“You are right. Shit has happened and I can’t expect everything to be how I want it to be. You’re happy I’m back? Happy to finally be what we should have been all those years ago.” Sirius raised his eyebrow in question.
“Yes, brat. I’m happy with this. We have things to speak about. It probably isn’t going to be easy. You will drive me crazy but I’m okay with that.” Sounds of multiple motorcycles rumbled outside of the clubhouse. Sirius looked him in the eye. It was time.
“Let's go get your godson.”
Harry
A concussion, he had a concussion. He hasn’t had one of these in a very long time. They normally wouldn’t bruise him where it would show. They wanted to show that their mortar cycle club wasn’t like the others. When they were the worst of all. That is when Dumbledore walked in. The man who he thought was his savior all those years ago.
“Harry, my boy. After everything that I did for you. This is how you treated me. If I didn’t send Hagrid to rescue you how do you think you would be doing? I assume that you would live on the streets? I could see your family kicking you out. I have clothed you and got you an education, and this is how you repay me. You go to the rivals of our family. What is worse is that you pulled your godfather along with you. That man loves you and would do anything for you. Even leave the only family he loved.” The old man was laying it on thick. How dare he bring up everything that he has done for him. What he has done has been for his benefit. Harry doesn’t know how but he knows.
“At least I wouldn’t be tied up by someone who says they love me! I would have rather been on the street than be here! Oh, I should be thankful for the abuse. Everyone hated me because for some reason you paid more attention to me. Though they didn’t know what your attention meant! I did things a child should have done! I did adult jobs! I’ve killed for you! There was a time when I wanted to get your approval! How many had to die until you said that you were proud of me! Are you saying it was for the fucking greater good! Those men needed to die. Children as well!” The dam was broken. Harry felt angry tears fall down his cheeks.
“It was for the greater good!” Dumbledore was breaking. Harry wasn’t afraid anymore. He wasn’t alone anymore. He had a family. His family will come for him. Hopefully, he was alive by then. “If you didn’t get more money when you turned 25, I could have killed you already.” Harry could hear motorcycles roaring and then stop. Dumbledore was too busy yelling to pay attention. His family came for him. Then what Dumbledore sunk in.
“My money? What money? I don’t have money. When I worked at the hospital after you took what you wanted you still said it wasn’t enough!”
Dumbledore shook his head. “You think I mean the small amount you got from the hospital. No, your mother and father left you a fortune! A fortune that is mine. That is why I killed them. Now Sirius on the other hand. You are his godson which means he left it to you. So when he dies it will come to you. He should have been dead already!”
“You killed my parents!” No, his parents died in a car crash. He was always told it was a car crash. He wouldn’t put it past the old man causing the accident. Not himself, he could have made someone do that.
“Yes, I killed them! Sirius was supposed to die as well! Not end up in jail. Though as long as he wasn’t around you! That's all that mattered!” Dumbledore was so close to his face now he felt the older man’s spit hit his face. “I can’t wait till all of you are DEAD!”
Screams and groans filled the air. Harry sat up straighter. Then Dumbledore smiled and walked toward the noise.
The first two to enter were Sirius and Tom. Reggies weren’t two steps behind.
“Dumbledore! What the fuck is going on!? I knew you were a nutter but this has gone way too far.”
“Ah, Sirius my boy. I’m shocked you see you alive. If only Remus could have completed his job.” Dumbledore shook his head. Harry looked over at Reggie. His gray eyes were full of rage. “So I will just have to kill you myself.”
Tom stepped forward. “If you think I’m going to let you hurt Sirius or Harry you are mistaken. I have been waiting to kill you, Albus.” The older man’s name came out as a growl.
Harry wriggled trying to get loose from the knots. He didn’t care about the money. He wanted his family safe. If only he could get free he could sneak behind the old man.
“I’d love to see you try to kill me, Tom.” The older man pulled out two guns. “Now I do need Harry alive. For right now, but you Sirius. I can kill you right now.”
“You won’t fucking touch him!” Reggie growled. Harry watched Reggie start to move toward the older man. Sirius turned around and pushed him back. His heart in his throat he couldn’t think about Reggie getting shot. No, he'd die before he let the man he loves die.
“Don’t fucking move little brother.” Sirius turned back around. “The money is gone Dumbledore. What you have been stealing from me is the small amount I allow you to have. I have my money hidden. You will never get it. So you can kill me but the money won’t be deposited to Harry’s account. Well, not one you have access to.” Sirius smirked. “Harry I know I haven’t been here for you Pup but I always make sure you are taken care of. Always.”
Dumbledore growled and pulled the trigger. “No!” Harry screamed it was so quick Tom pushed Sirius out of the way and the bullet entered his side.
“TOM!” Sirius held him as he slid to the ground. “No.. no I just got you back.”
Harry pulled free from the binds and ran up behind Dumbledore tackling him to the ground. Harry and Dumbledore rolled around on the ground. A gunshot went off and pain seared through his chest. Harry somehow hit the older man, and the gun moved free. Then two more shots rang through and Dumbledore stopped moving.
Harry couldn’t catch his breath. Then he felt strong arms around him. Everything was going hazy.
“Harry! Nurse, stay with me. It’s okay you’ll be fine. Come on let's get you to the clinic okay. You’ll be okay.” Harry looked up into those beautiful gray eyes.
“Is.. Is he dead?” It was hard to speak but he had to know. The darkness was going closer.
“Yeah, that fucker is dead. You stay with me though okay you don’t die.”
Tom
Tom was floating but warm. He opened up his eyes and the bright light blinded him. A groan escaped his lips and he felt arms wrap around him. Tom tried again and opened his eyes. Sirius was curled around him. Tears slid down the younger man’s cheeks. They remembered what happened.
“B...Brat… I was the one shot and you are clinging onto me like a monkey.” Tom groaned again. Talking took a lot. Sirius blinked a couple of times until his eyes widened.
“Tom! You fucker! I can’t believe you jumped in front of a fucking bullet are you kidding me! If Dumbledore killed you I would have brought you back to life to kill you again! You will never ever ever do that again do you hear me, Tom! So fucking stupid!”
Tom chuckled then hissed as pain seared through his side. “Just wait until I get out of here. You have just earned your first spanking. I have been waiting for years to put you over my lap.”
Sirius smirked at him. “Oh… I’ve been waiting so long for you to spank me, Daddy.” The brat leaned up and kissed his lips. Of course, he would love to be spanked. He knew his boy.
“Oh, I know you have Brat." Sirius opened his mouth to respond when a nurse came in. Oh yes, Tom couldn’t wait to get his boy home. It shouldn’t take Tom too long to heal.
Reggie
The monitors beeped. They were at a real hospital. Severus demanded that they go to a real hospital. The clinic didn’t have the resources to help Prez and Harry. They both needed surgery and blood.
Reggie sat with his hand in Harry’s. The younger man hasn’t woken up since the surgery. The bullet nicked his lungs. Sirius has gone back in between both of the men. Reggie told him that he would come get him once he woke up. Lucius came in and threatened many doctors. Severus took him home. Otto bribed him with spending time with Elijah.
“Nurse, baby I need you to wake up. I know you are tired but you promised you wouldn’t leave. This is leaving even if you don’t think so. This is the longest we haven’t spoken. You haven’t bossed me around in a while.” Reggie sighed and kissed the back of Harry’s hand.
“When you get better, we will go on holiday. We can each take our own. Though I will miss your arms around me. We could take turns driving. Hmm, we will see.” Reggie sighed at least that old man was dead and would never hurt someone in his family again.
“H..Holiday? M..mountains sound good.” Reggie popped his head up. Harry’s green eyes looked tired, but it was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. His voice was muffled through
“Mountains we can go to the mountains. We can go wherever you want to go. God, I’m glad you are awake.” Reggie pressed kisses on the back of his hand again. “You know everyone is mad at you right now. Sirius is pissed. Two out of the three people he loves got hurt. Severus is trying to be strong for Lucius. He has been checking on you nonstop. Speaking of Lucius... You know he is going to be the worst. Then there is me. God Harry if you had died. I…” Tears burned Reggie’s eyes. The thought of losing Harry was too much.
Harry tried to move his mask and Reggie stopped him. “You need that to help you breathe. You should know you are a nurse.”
Harry rolled his eyes, but Reggie laughed. “A...At least I won’t get up and ruin my stitches.”
“Damn right, you won’t. Because I am going to take care of you. You will not have to worry about anything. Not until you are feeling better. You are mine. I let you get hurt and that will never happen again.” Reggie leaned over and pressed his lips to Harry’s. “I am glad you are back with me.” He kissed him again.
“I promised you I would never leave. I won’t you’re stuck with me now Reggie.” The older man pressed their foreheads together.
“I’d be stuck with you forever if you let me.”
“Forever sounds great.”
