Chapter Five- Family
Castor and Pollux Black-Zabini were in the lab they claimed as there’s at the manor when they heard ‘’Cas Lux!’’ Castor yelped, catching a mint leaf before it landed in the potion his older twin was making. Pollux looked and grinned at their baby brother who was in the enlarged mirror in their lab. He said ‘’Little flower’’Aries’s cheeks turned red and he hissed ‘’Don’t call me that’’ two kids behind Aries snickered and Aries looked at them and his eyes glowed and the two kids stopped laughing. The pale skinned one whispered ‘’How did he know?’’ the brown skinned teen shrugged and Castor said ‘’Who are you two?’’ the pale one said ‘’Carl Grimes I met Aries a few months ago when my dad found him.’’ Duane said ‘’Harry saved me a few weeks ago from a walker.’’ The twin’s nodded and Pollux said ‘’We are so glad you are safe Aries’’ their brother grinned and said ‘’I missed you guys’’ the twin’s cooed ‘’Aw’’ at the same time.
In England
Neville Longbottom looked at Frank, the 15 year old nodded at him and he looked at his wife who had a serious look on her face. She had their youngest Four year old Everret on her back in a blanket made carrier. He was sleeping; they had made it to Diagon Alley hoping that the twin’s were alive; then they were going to Harry and Blaise’s Manor. They walked into the shop and looked around and a voice said ‘’Uncle Neville’’ Neville looked and saw 16 year old Roxanne Weasley the teen was grinning and Neville smiled at her and sighed in relief when he saw the girl alive and well. He said ‘’Are your dad and uncle here and your mum and Aunt?’’ Roxanne nodded and said ‘’Yeah they are upstairs I’m on lookout duty Freddy is watching Georgia and Gray for Uncle Fred and Aunt Katie.’’ Neville sighed in relief and he looked at his family Luna hummed ‘’I told you they were fine Draco Scropius and Astoria should be here soon as well.’’ Neville looked at his seer wife and smiled and said ‘’I never doubted you for a moment’’ Luna giggled and they walked towards the back and Fred and George Weasley looked up from their parchments and they grinned and said ‘’Neville your alive’’ George looked at his twin and said ‘’You owe me fifteen galleon’s.’’ Fred pouted and Neville said ‘’Hey!’’ the twin’s said ‘’We never doubted you for a moment dear Neville.’’
Fifteen year old Scorpius Malfoy stood in front of his pregnant mother Astoria had her wand out just in case. He looked and his father was in front of them in the middle of the alley he looked around and nodded for Scorpius to follow. Scorpius took his mother’s hand and hurried towards his father. He saw an inferi coming from an abandoned shop and he heard ‘’Bombarda’’ and the head exploded. He looked at his mother and she lowered her wand and nodded and they reached Fred and George’s shop in record time. They walked in and Astoria stepped away from the front door. Scorpius heard ‘’Mr. Malfoy’’ he looked and saw Roxanne Weasley at the counter. Scorpius and Roxanne’s eyes met and they both looked away from one another with huffs. Draco raised an eyebrow and looked at his son and Scorpius mumbled ‘’It’s nothing Father’’ Draco nodded and said ‘’Have you seen Potter and Blaise?’’ Roxanne said softly ‘’No, the last I heard from them they were trying to get to America to pick up Aries. Daddy and Uncle Fred haven’t heard from the twin’s or Uncle Blaise and Uncle Harry since.’’ Draco frowned, Neville walked down and said ‘’I sent an owl to find them a week ago. I haven't gotten a reply, they must have made it to America.’’ George said ‘’No one was answering the floo at Zabini manor.’’ Draco said ‘’I haven’t heard from them either’’ he was worried about his godson hell he was even worried about Potter. Draco said ‘’I’ll send one too’’ the other’s nodded.
At the prison
Blaise looked and saw Neville’s Hawk he said ‘’Hermes’’ the hawk looked at him and landed and made a screeching sound and Blaise said ‘’Not me huh’’ Hermes’s head nodded and Blaise shook his head and waved his wand and a lion made of light appeared and it ran off Hermes waited. Aries was reading with Carl and Daune in the main room with the others in their own little group. Harry looked when the group of Muggles gasped. Blaise’s voice came from the lion's mouth ‘’Tell Aries Hermes is here for him the damn bird hates me’’ Harry chuckled and said ‘’Well you never feed him of course he hates you’’ he shook his head and looked at Aries who was watching him. Harry said ‘’Hermes is here he has something from Neville and Luna’’ the boy stood up quickly and grinned and rushed outside. The muggles looked at Harry and Harry said ‘’Hermes is Aries godfather’s Hawk we use hawks and owls as mail carriers, they are our postal service.’’ Aries walked in with a bluish gray colored Hawk who was perched on the child’s shoulder the hawk screeched and Harry said ‘’Hello to you too Hermes’’ Hermes let out a smaller screech and then preened Aries hair and made a cooing sound.
Aries fed the bird a piece of meat and said ‘’Can I have my letter?’’ the hawk held out his leg and Aries took the package and letter and Hermes flew to a window and perched there putting his head into his chest to get some sleep. Aries hummed and said ‘’I guess he’s tired.’’ Harry nodded he watched Aries open the letter and he read it first he said ‘’Uncle Nev and Aunt Luna are fine they were heading to Diagon Alley when they wrote this.’’ He kept reading Aries grinned and said ‘’Everett performed his first accidental magic he popped into my room at Longbottom manor he misses me.’’ Aries pouted Harry said ‘’We will see them again Aries even if we have to make them a portkey to the manor.’’ Aries smiled and nodded and Harry said ‘’I’ll send a couple of Mirror’s back the twin’s gave us extra’s just in case.’’ Aries grinned and nodded. Aries put the letter down and opened the package. Neville had sent him potion’s and plants that could be used for medical purposes and used in potion’s and he gave him books on plants in America and their uses. Aries grinned at the gift’s and shook his head at his godfather he went to the plants and said ‘’I’m going to plant these in my trunk.’’ Harry nodded and Aries went to his cell and came back with a tiny trunk and he pulled out his wand and a light hit it and it grew to the size of a normal trunk. He opened it up and climbed inside with his package. Duane and Carl’s eyes widened and Winter jumped inside as well.
Aries went to check on his animal’s and the new ones he had gotten there were five new animal’s and he had five magical animal’s who were in a separate area. He was pounced on and he laughed and said ‘’Get off me you guys are heavy.’’ Aries looked and saw Duane and Carl had followed him and Winter was at the lake lapping at the water. The animal’s looked at the two muggles and then ignored them to bother Aries some more. Aries said ‘’I can’t feed you guys if you don’t get off me’’ the animal’s immediately jumped off him. Aries stood up and Carl said ‘’This is awesome it’s like a park’’ Aries grinned and said ‘’Yeah my Papa made it for me some trunks have apartments in them mine has a green house and two animal area’s.’’ He waved his wand and bowls of food came floating past them and landed in front of the animal’s Winter was in a tree now above the pond. Aries said ‘’Winter you coming?’’ Winter looked at his boy and yawned and Aries hummed ‘’Okay I’ll come back for you then’’ Winter closed his eyes again and Aries said ‘’Come on I’m going to visit my other animal’s just be careful don’t go to the water in this area I have a water demon and they eat humans. I feed her meat though that and she eats fish in the water.’’ Carl and Duane nodded Aries walked into a huge forest type area and there was a hissing sound and Aries grinned and said ‘’Hello Mia’’ a huge leopard like creature jumped from a tree and Aries rubbed her head and the animal looked at Duane and Carl and growled and Aries said ‘’They are my friends it’s okay beautiful’’ he looked at them and he said ‘’This is Mia she’s a Nundu Papa found her in a trap laid out by wizards who wanted to sell her on the black market.’’ Mia purred softly at him and licked his cheek and Aries got her some food. He pet her one last time and then walked into the forest and he went to a tree and Carl and Duane looked and saw shiny gold and jewels inside the tree Aries said ‘’Paul where are you?’’ The pile of gold shifted and a long beaked animal came out and it looked at Aries and jumped him and Aries laughed softly and said ‘’Hello Paul he’s called a Niffler they love anything shiny.’’
Harry looked at his eldest son and he was with Blaise cleaning out the car’s they had found. Blaise said ‘’Three should be enough’’ Harry nodded and said ‘’What about food?’’ Blaise said ‘’Aries has a garden love and we should have enough for a week or two we also have the tents we can have one and the muggles can stay in the other one when we aren’t driving.’’ Harry nodded and Blaise eyed him and Harry asked ‘’Are you okay with this?’’ Blaise said ‘’I can’t leave kids out here either so yes I’m fine with it.’’ Harry smiled at his husband and said ‘’I’m going to go find those mirror’s to send to the other’s.’’ Blaise said ‘’Have you talked to Castor and Pollux yet.’’ Harry hummed ‘’Last night they are fine they haven’t blown themselves up.’’ Blaise chuckled softly and said ‘’Good.’’ Harry looked and Orion was looking towards the sky. Harry walked over and said ‘’I’m sure Draco is fine Ori’’ the young adult jumped and yelped ‘’Daddy don’t do that you scared me to death.’’ Harry stood on his toes and rubbed Orion’s head and the taller man grunted ‘’Daddy I’m not a little kid!’’ they heard laughing and Glenn and Maggie had their mouths covered laughing. Glenn said ‘’My sister’s did that too I understand’’ Orion’s cheeks turned red. Harry pulled his hand away and said ‘’Alright I’ll stop embarrassing you geez I’m going to go find Aries he will let me pet him.’’
Aries led them to the lake in the magical creature area and he said ‘’Remember don’t go near the water.’’ the two boys nodded and Aries said ‘’Pearl’’ he looked over the water and it started to move and a giant kelp like horse broke the surface of the water and she stared and Aries grinned and said ‘’I missed you girl’’ the creature chuffed and leaned her huge head on top of Aries’s head and then the beady black eyes looked at Daune and Carl and she growled. Aries said ‘’They are my friends it’s okay’’ he put a hand on her snout and hummed softly and said ‘’It’s okay I’m going to get you some food and then later on we can go for a swim promise.’’ Pearl chuffed and pulled her head back and ducked back into the water and splashed the three boys and Daune said ‘’Awesome’’ Carl nodded and Aries grinned and said ‘’You just met two I have five so three more to go.’’ Harry’s voice said ‘’Daune, could you tell Aries to come back up we are going to start planning for the trip and I need him to give Hermes something to take back to his godfather.’’ Daune caught Aries attention and told him what Harry said Aries nodded and said ‘’I guess we have to wait to see the other’s.’’ Carl and Daune nodded and followed Aries out of the trunk and back into the prison where Harry Blaise and the other’s in the group were waiting.
In England
Draco Malfoy wrote to his godson and told him they were fine and that they were with the twin weasel’s. He shook his head and crossed out Weasel’s and put in Weasley’s instead he shook his head he told him that the baby Astoria carried was a boy Astoria had been upset that the baby wasn’t a girl but she got over it quickly she had out right demanded another chance to have her girl and Draco had no choice but to comply to her wishes that was before this muggle sickness spread to their world they weren’t infected with it like the muggles but they could turn if they were bitten by one. The Unspeakables had immediately started trying for a cure no one had heard from them there was no new news. Just the daily prophet telling wizards and witches to stay inside and just wait it out. Draco had wanted to wait it out with his family but he had gone to Malfoy Manor and the wards had fallen that meant his parents were dead he didn’t have the courage to go inside the manor to see if they were there. He had packed his father’s beloved pet peacocks in his trunk and left with his wife and son they didn't ask about Lucius and Narcissa, somehow they already knew. Scorpius had hugged his father and Draco hugged him back.
Draco looked at the letter and sealed it and he looked at Bartholomew his family owl and he said ‘’Can you take this to Orion Bartholomew if he writes back wait for a response’’ the owl hooted and nodded and held out his leg and Draco attached it to the stretched out leg. Draco watched him fly off and watched him until he disappeared. Fred and George walked up and Fred said ‘’We think we should head to Grimmauld Place it’s safer than here and Harry keyed us into the wards after we became the twin’s godfather’s just in case something happened to him or Blaise and we needed a place to take the kids.’’ Neville said ‘’He keyed Luna and I in as well’’ Draco nodded and said ‘’Us too.’’ George said ‘’But first we need to make sure none of the dead are on the street.’’ The other’s nodded and Neville said ‘’Well we have a plan let’s put into action.’’
