A Call to Arms

Juniper and Regulus were standing just on the outside of the ward line to her circle home. She hadn't yet worked up the courage to pass through. The Alpha had learned a lot of things since leaving Harry when his realignment cycle started.

The Cunningham Circle had been itching to Hunt so they had gone with her when she left to the address she had been given for her daughter's home. It had been an average unassuming home. Just the same as every house on the block. She and the others had just watched the house for a few days to see what kind of people they were.

The husband left every day to go to work and was a cruel man who talked down on everyone in a lower position and sucked up to everyone in a higher position. He also expected to be obeyed in all things when at home. Any disobedience or backtalk from his wife or his son was met with violence or incredibly harsh words. He was just an awful person and Jun could absolutely believe that this man had helped abuse her grandson.

The son was a very large boy for his age. He left for school and was a bully to everyone. He and his gang of friends terrorized the entire school, especially those that were smaller and couldn't fight back. He was as cruel as his father outside of the home. But when he was home with his mother he was spoiled and cooed at and treated like a prince. When his father was home he spent a lot of time outside or in his room and only came out when he had to for dinner.

Her daughter Petunia, was a stay-at-home wife/mom. She was obsessed with making everything in and out of her home look perfectly normal. She had a perfect yard and her house was always clean. She baked and cooked all of the meals. She spoiled her son as much and as often as she could and never got on to him no matter what he said or how he spoke to her. She was also afraid of her husband. It was obvious and seemed like a new development. Like she wasn't used to her husband treating her or her son that way. It was all very upsetting.

After a few days of watching, they decided to approach them. So, they waited until the husband had gotten home and then Jun and Regulus went alone with a few of the Cunninghams hidden in the shadows to keep watch over them. Jun knocked on the door and waited. She heard a muffled shout and then her daughter opened the door with a bright smile.

"Yes? What can I help you with?" She asked politely.

"Are you Petunia? Sister of Lily and Aunt of Harry?" Jun asked. Petunia's face morphed from pleasant to completely irrational anger.

"Why are you asking about them?" She almost snarled. Jun was a bit taken aback at the pure hate that she was showing.

"I am asking about them because we are related," Jun said. She was trying not to give too much away just yet.

"Well, Lily is dead, which is what she gets for marrying that freak of a husband of hers and getting involved in that stupid war. Harry is probably dead too or at least I hope he is. Freak boy was nothing but trouble and was a burden from the moment he was left here," Petunia spat. Juniper was hurting. She couldn't imagine how her daughter had turned out so badly.

"I am sorry but I am going to have to take you, your husband, and your son into custody. There have been charges of abuse, neglect, and starvation of a child filed against you. You will face justice in Nevarah for these crimes against one of our young," Juniper told a shocked Petunia.

"Whatever that delinquent boy has told you is a lie. We will not be going anywhere with you freaks. Now leave my home," Petunia snarled and tried to close the door. Regulus shot his hand out and stopped it. In moments all three of the Dursleys had been taken into custody. Jun allowed the Cunninghams to take over keeping control of them for the trip back to Nevarah. None of them were pleasant so they ended up putting silencing charms on them.

Then they opened a portal and were whisked away to Nevarah. They filed all of the proper paperwork when they arrived and then headed to the holding cells that Nevarah had. Jun and the Cunninghams handed over Harry's medical exam paperwork and a letter from his Alpha signed by his royals. Stating that no questioning or punishment would be done until they had returned to Nevarah and could be present for the trials. It took a few hours and then Juniper was free to go to her circle. She knew that Raspen had already sent a letter ahead to his father King Edgar about her return and it had her official debrief. He had wanted to help her get home to her family as quickly as possible.

So now here they were waiting for Jun to get up the courage to cross the ward line. She had talked with Raspen and the others and learned that it had been decades since she had been home. For her, it had not been that long but she had created a time pocket to do her job properly and somehow everything had gone so wrong. Briar would be very hard to talk to. If he ever forgave her.

"No matter what happens at first I want you to stay back and out of the way. This will not be pleasant or easy," Jun told Regulus. She waited for his agreement and then she stepped over the line. All of her muted bonds snapped fully back into place so quickly it was overwhelming and a bit dizzying. She pushed Regulus back when a blur came barreling out of the house and slammed into her.

Jun had known Briar would be a mess. This was expected. So, she avoided the claws and fangs that came for her and when he didn't look to be losing any steam she pushed him back a bit and then stood still when he came for her again. She dropped her hands to her side and tilted her head back so that he had a good view of her open throat to attack. He barreled into her and she fell to the ground without catching herself or bracing.

"Fight back," Briar yelled. Jun simply shook her head.

"I won't fight back Briar. I deserve every hit and I will take them until you are satisfied," Jun told her Submissive. Briar screamed at her and then hit her again.

"Fight me back," Briar yelled again.

"I am sorry Briar, I messed up so bad," Jun told him with tears streaming down her face. "So many things went wrong and I just don't know how it happened."

"What do you mean?" Briar stopped trying to fight her but did not move from his spot sitting on her. He didn't like the fact that she was crying. Something truly awful must have happened.

"I only want to tell this once Briar is everyone home?" Jun asked.

"Yeah, Everyone is home," Briar said with concern. Then he whistled and everyone that had been standing around in the yard near the porch came forward to them. Briar pulled Jun up but didn't get out of her lap. She had been gone a very long time and he had missed her desperately. "Now, explain." He demanded.

"I was sent on a mission by King Edgar as you know and I didn't expect to be gone that long a month at the most. But when I got there it was much worse than what was expected. I sent messages back home to tell you but I didn't get anything in return. I figured you were just upset about it," Jun told them.

"We never received any letters, Jun," Briar told her confused. Juniper figured as much.

"I didn't know. Then I found out I was pregnant. They were mine, yours, and Zeph's babies. Twin girls. I sent a message home about that as well. When they were born, my father came and I gave them to him to bring home." Jun was interrupted.

"He never brought them to us, Jun. Your father hasn't spoken to any of us since you left. What happened to our daughters, Jun?" Briar asked worried now.

"I don't know what went wrong, Briar. They never made it here. I didn't know. I only found out about a week ago. Someone interfered and our daughters were placed with non-magic humans. One of them has no magic at all and did not inherit for some reason, Petunia was her name. She married a human man and as far as I can tell had a human son. The other did have magic and was invited to a magical school, Lily is what I named her. She did not inherit either. I am assuming whoever took our daughters sealed them. She married a man who also apparently had a sealed inheritance they had a son as well," Jun was telling them.

"Twins and grandsons. Where are they Jun?" Rian their Beta asked. Jun looked so sad.

"Lily and her husband were involved in a war that the wizarding world was fighting. They were murdered when their son, Harry was only fifteen months old," Jun paused so that their circle could mourn the loss of a child they hadn't even known about. "Harry was sent to live with Petunia and her family. They aren't good people Briar. I don't know what happened but Petunia and her husband and son are horrible people. They starved, neglected, and abused Harry his entire life until he managed to get away from them. We can go into more detail about it later when it goes to trial. Harry inherited about a year ago. Six days ago he was fighting in a second war and gave a soulscream when his adopted son was kidnapped and threatened. He and his circle will be coming to Nevarah after his realignment cycle. I told him that we would either make room for them here until they made different arrangements or find them somewhere else that they could stay." Jun finished telling them.

"They will stay here. Of course, they will. How many are in his circle?" Briar asked. He would be damned if his grandson would stay anywhere else but under his roof until he got to know him and then they would help him find a place.

"Twenty-nine including him and then their boy Teddy. He is a Gheyic Submissive with a Gheyic Alpha. He will most likely have a military circle. This isn't surprising since he has been fighting for his life since he was fifteen months old. But you would be surprised how sweet and loving he is. He is a good boy and an empath like me," Jun told them. Their Pareya would take care of all the accommodations for them.

"Anything we need to prepare for specifically?" Briar asked. Jun smirked.

"Crown Prince Raspen of the Earth courts and Prince Perryton of the Air Courts are both his soul bonded. Hadrian Maruke, The Blood Raven, is one of his Aces. He has a mixed circle that has every element including the secondary ones. He and his Alpha are both Nameless. They are going to cause quite a stir in the courts and I am not looking forward to the chaos. One good thing is that from what I can gather we still have another four years before The Hunt comes back around. That will give them time to grow and learn as a circle before any kind of official introduction has to be made," Jun laughed at the expressions on her circle's faces.

"Sounds a bit chaotic. But we will make the accommodations," Ivy told her. Jun nodded. They didn't know the half of it.

"I would swear that he is Chaos blessed. I would not expect any kind of peace or calm when he is here. From all of the stories that I have gathered from the people who know him best, trouble and Chaos follow him around everywhere," Jun laughed as she told them.

"And who is the new Pareya?" Briar asked looking over at Regulus.

"Regulus, I found him half dead from a number of things that went wrong for him. I nursed him back to health and it grew from there. He is also connected to our grandson's circle in a few ways we found out a few days ago. His older brother Sirius was Harry's Godfather. He is also the uncle to Harry's adopted son and a cousin to one of his Pareya," Jun beckoned Regulus over and introduced him to the rest of their circle.

"All right, let's go in and eat and make plans. We have a lot of catching up to do as well as planning for our grandson and his circle to come," Briar said a little later and they all headed into the house.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harry was standing outside Gringotts on the stairs waiting to be let in. He had his entire circle with him. There were a lot of things that needed to be settled so that they could go. All of the Earth-born needed to liquidate all assets and then have everything transferred to Nevarah. Raspen was going to speak with the goblins about the dragon and the Gheyo were not letting anyone do anything alone.

"It would be best if we meet in a conference room," Draco told the goblin that led them into the bank. "We have a few accounts that need to be discussed and the instructions for them is all going to be the same." The goblin nodded and then they were led down a few halls to a very large conference room.

"We will start with inheritance tests to verify who you are and to find any vaults or properties associated with you. How many will be needed?" The goblin asked.

"We need one for me, Harry, Charlie, Fred, George, Blaise, and Teddy so seven. We will also be doing a blood adoption with a few alterations. These are the alterations that we will require," Draco told the goblin who then strode out of the room and returned with seven pieces of parchment and seven daggers.

"You will each drop six drops of blood onto the parchment and then we will wait. It will confirm who you are and show any titles, vaults, properties, or money associated with your names," The goblin stated. They did as they were told with Orion doing it for Teddy. Then they waited. The goblin looked at each parchment and then stepped out to summon five other goblins. They each took a parchment with one of them taking both Fred and George.

"Ok we will start with the simplest and work our way up. The boy Edward Remus Lupin was left one vault from his mother and no properties. This is what the vault contains," The paperwork was passed to Harry.

"We are leaving Earth and going to the sanctuary realm of Nevarah. I want his vault emptied and shut down. Everything in it goes with us," Harry told the goblin. Who nodded and then sent the message down for it to be done.

"Now the next simplest is the twins Fred and George Weasley. You own one property and have one joint vault. What would you like to do?" The next goblin asked.

"We want to leave the property and everything in it to our best mate Lee Jordan and his wife Angela. We want the same thing done with our vault as with Teddy's. We are also moving to Nevarah and never returning," The Goblin taking care of them left to send the message down about the vault and then to retrieve the paperwork to give their property away.

They dealt with Charlie next who only had a vault from his earnings at the Dragon Reserve. Blaise had a vault and two properties that he inherited from his father. He emptied the vault and sold the properties to the bank. Blaise's mother was still living so the only thing he could take was what was in his Heir Vault. They also signed paperwork stating that when his mother passed, and he inherited it would all be liquidated and sent to him in Nevarah.

Next, they did Draco. He had inherited a few properties in Britain and other countries that he sold to the bank. He also had many vaults as the last Malfoy Heir. He informed the goblins that he would give them back anything goblin-made from the vaults before the rest was packed up and brought to them.

Then it was time to take care of Harry. Harry's was complicated because he had been the one to defeat Voldemort and so by rights of war anything that belonged to Voldemort was Harry's by conquest. He had ended up with Slytherin and Gaunt vaults and properties as well as a few others that had been signed over to Voldemort from devoted followers such as Lestrange and Rosier. From his father, he had Potter and Peverell and from Sirius he had Black. All properties were sold to the bank except one that Orion and Ethan had insisted that he keep once they looked over the specs of the property. Hadrian had been given the location and left to do something with it that Harry didn't know. Harry made the same deal with the goblins about any goblin-made items in the vaults and then had everything else packed up and brought to them.

When they had finished with everything all of the trunks that had been filled had been marked as who they belonged to and then shrunk down and placed into one large trunk that was then placed into a void stone that Rathal had with him.

"The blood adoption has been set up to your specifications. All of the paperwork is in order and we are ready to do it," The original goblin came in and told them. Harry, Draco, Magnus, and Teddy went to get ready followed by a few of their bonded Gheyo. The ritual was performed with Harry as Bearer, Magnus as Sire, and Draco as Third. They were told that now genetically and magically Teddy was theirs as if they had truly had him. Any physical changes that may happen would happen gradually over the next few weeks. Harry noticed that his scent had changed immediately. He smelled like a perfect blend of the three of them. The three of them took the time to register his new scent and settle instincts before he was passed around the circle for everyone else to do the same. Now he truly smelled and felt like a child of the circle.

The others all went to wait at the exit of the building while Raspen and Peryton, followed by Rathal and his suite, went to meet with the goblin king about the Dragon. It took quite a while but they finally managed to get the goblin king to agree to take the Dragon if they would also take the nest of eggs she had laid. They had been laid a few weeks after she had been placed in the caverns and the goblins had taken them and put them under a stasis in the event that they needed to be used for something. They had agreed to take the nest as well.

They left the bank and went back to Hogwarts to wait for Hadrian. Since it had taken them quite a bit of time to get through everything they would be staying one last night on Earth before leaving for Nevarah the next day. Harry thought it warranted mentioning that it was exactly two weeks just like Luna had said. Raspen sent a message ahead to Nevarah to let the proper people know that they would be returning and when. He also included a message to Harry's grandmera to let her know. She had told Raspen she would supply them with lodging until further notice.

So everyone relaxed and said their goodbyes to those that would be staying behind while everyone that was going prepared to leave. Harry was super excited and managed to corner Magnus, Declan, and Kyrren at one point and sealed their bonds. Before bed, he convinced Alec to join him for a shower and sealed his bond with him as well. He would work on a few more in the morning.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning Harry was awake before everyone. He was just too excited about finally leaving and going to Nevarah. He saw Fred and George near the outside of the sleeping group and decided to snag his twins to seal those bonds. The twins had been giving him space and Harry thought it might be because they were uncertain if Harry was okay with the change in their dynamic from friends to lovers. He was going to clear that up. He had always had a small crush on the twins. Who wouldn't? He had just never wanted to try and start anything because they were his best friend's brothers and because he didn't think he could have both and didn't want to choose.

Harry snuck up and kissed them both awake. Then he held a finger up to keep them quiet before indicating for them to follow him. Fred and George both grinned like lunatics before following Harry into the library. A bit later they felt their bonds fully click into place and Harry grinned at the twins that were finally his.

"Been wanting that for a while," Harry told them.

"What do.." "...you mean?" They asked Harry with twin looks of confusion. Harry grinned, still snuggled between his fire twins on the library floor.

"I mean exactly what I said. I have wanted the two of you for years. But you were Ron's brothers and I didn't want to choose between you. I didn't know having both was an option that I would ever have. So, I never said or did anything to move our relationship past friends," Harry told them. He could feel the surprise and joy coming from his twins and was happy to have been the one to put it there.

"You wanted us..." "....for years?" "..and said nothing.."

"Yes," Harry said simply. Then he was promptly attacked by said fire twins and tickled until he begged for mercy. "I give!!! I Give!!! I am sorry!!!!!" Harry squealed laughing hysterically. Finally, they let up and collapsed back on either side of him.

"Next time you feel a certain...." "....way about something..." "Say something!!!!"

"I swear I will," Harry told them honestly. It was so good to have a group of people that he could trust with anything and everything.

"Good, now.." "...go find someone else..." "..to pester.."

Then the twins stood up, pulling Harry up with them. They all pulled their clothes back on and the twins took off with Ethan and Quinn who were in the sitting room. They headed to get breakfast in order for them all. Harry decided a shower would be nice and grabbed Lukas on the way. He was still trying to see how many bonds he could seal before they headed to Nevarah and this was his last few hours. He wasn't sure if his bonded knew what he was doing or not but they hadn't said anything, aside from Draco of course.

With another bond clicked into place, Harry and Lukas joined the others in the sitting room before he snagged Teddy and tucked himself into Rathal's side for the trek up to the Great Hall for breakfast. Draco walked up to him and smirked.

"How many is that now? Eighteen?" Draco asked him. Harry smirked at him.

"Twenty!!" Harry told him. "You were sleeping when I dragged the twins to the library." Draco laughed and rolled his eyes. Rathal gave Harry a look.

"You have been sealing your bonds to see how fast you can seal them? Not because your instincts are acting up?" The Ace asked. Draco laughed and Harry blushed.

"He decided to see how many he could seal before we left for Nevarah," Draco informed Rathal.

"And you have completed Twenty so far. That means you only have eight left. Looks like you are doing a good job so far," Rathal told his small Submissive. Harry grinned up at him.

"Thanks, Rath," Harry said with a laugh. "I figure the most I could get was three more. My instincts say that my Princes' should be sealed on Nevarah. Riven suggested that I wait for him and Xavier until nearly everyone else is done so that the amount of magic that floods the bonds can be shared by as many as possible. He says Mages have a lot more power than the average Dragel and it can sometimes be overwhelming."

"That was only four. So who else are you waiting until Nevarah for?" Rathal asked. Draco smirked. It wasn't a secret how close Rathal and Raspen were.

"You of course," Harry stated casually. Rathal looked at him confused.

"Why me?" Harry looked up at him as if it should have been obvious.

"Because I want to have you and Raspen together," Harry said it so matter of factly. Rathal blushed. "You and Raspen are always together. Ethan says that you have been his head guard for a long time. He says it is very rare to see Raspen without Rathal. Even here, when Raspen now has two full suites, four Jokers, and two mages, you are still the one who is next to him most often. You are only not with him when you are with me."

"Yes well, thank you, Harry," Rathal said with feeling. Harry snuggled closer. Teddy wiggled to get down so Harry put him down and held his hand so that he toddled between Harry and Draco. They made their way to breakfast and had a meal enjoying time with all of those that would not be going when they left.

When they were finished with breakfast they all said their goodbyes. They were going to take multiple portals. The size of the portal that it would take for all of them to go at once could cause a potential issue like leaving a crack that stayed open between realms. Which had been the original plan. They had changed it last minute when Riven and Xavier had pointed it out.

So, the Weasleys, as well as Quinn's family would all go with Theo, Ilsa, Aracle, and Greta. Then, an hour later, the group that had come for Peryton would go. After that, the group that had come for Raspen would go. The Merrow were going to go back after the Earth group. The last group to go through would be Harry and his group. So, Harry and his crew were lying around outside playing with Teddy or flying stretching their wings. Just anything to pass the time until it was their turn to go through.

Harry decided to take advantage of the downtime and snuck off to a room with Arren and Brishen. Two more bonds clicked into place. Harry only had one bond left that he was willing to do on Earth. When he came back outside where all of the others were hanging out he found Fawkes lying out in the sun with his wings spread out. Brishen handed him a container that smelled really strongly of Cinnamon. Harry shrugged and took the container and went to Fawkes.

Harry went and sat down next to Fawkes and took the lid off the container and started to work it into Fawkes' feathers. The Phoelix's feathers looked as if they had been neglected for some time. Harry just sat there while Fawkes relaxed and pulled the feathers that were bent, broken, or barely hanging on and smoothed out all the rest. He finished the first wing and moved on to the second. Halfway through the second wing, Harry felt their bond shift and click into place. He grinned and then looked up to where Draco was playing with Teddy. The blonde rolled his eyes and laughed. He finished with Fawkes' wings and then handed the loose feathers to Fawkes who caught them on fire.

"Daddy, come play," Teddy called and Harry kissed Fawkes before running off to play with Teddy and the others.

Finally, it was their turn to go. They circled up with all of the Earth-born split up between the Nevarah natives. Teddy was being held by Ethan, Fred was with Jasper, George with Zenith, Charlie with Ariki, Draco with Lukas, Blaise with Riven, Fawkes went with Brishen, and Harry was with his Alpha. Then the portal was opened and they were whisked away from Earth. Harry was happy to be away from it and ready to start his new life in a new place with his new family.
