Eight Potters
"SEVEN WHAT!?AND YOU'RE GONNA DO WHAT!?"
"Harry do you want Jade to have a heart attack or something? You don't say these things the morning after she had a nightmare." Sirius said and forced me to sit down.
"Seven horcruxes. Seven fucking horcruxes. And my godson has a death sentence and wants to hunt them like a fucking scavenger hunt. Lily is probably shaking in her grave or something." I mumbled looking at nothing in particular. Thank Merlin that the twins are napping.
"Jade-"
"Why? Just answer that. Is there something we haven't talked about? I know Dumbledore's death was painful to watch, can't relate, but Merlin's bloody ballsack Harry! This isn't a fucking joke. We're talking about parts of someone's soul. Look, I want Voldemort dead as much as the next guy, believe me. That asshole took everything from me. But they're souls, Harry. They won't be destroyed by just breaking them or saying 'please' and 'thank you'. I'm not saying that you can't do this, I have faith that you will be able to manage this, but look at the facts for a second. I can't bear to lose you, Harry. Not now. Not when our lives are finally getting on track."
"Jade, you know why I have to do this." Harry mumbled hugging me and I started to cry.
"Then let us, or even me, come with!" Sirius exclaimed tearing up.
"You two have Marlene and Regulus to take care of. I'm not letting Voldemort tear apart another family. I'll come back, I promise." Harry said and I shook my head.
"No more promises. They always get broken in the end. I can't take another broken promise." I sobbed. "Just try to come back to us alive. I don't want to let you go, but I know I have to. Make us proud, Harry." And please watch over him, Prongs and Doe. That's all I'm asking. Forget about me and take care of your son.
"We will. Don't worry about it."
...
"Hello, Harry! You're looking fit!"
"Yes, he's looking gorgeous. Let's get in here before someone murders him." Moody walked in and I rolled my eyes. "Blacks, always a pleasure."
"Hi, Moody. Cauldron's in the kitchen. Been brewing it since it happened with Solis' help. You know what to do." I said and he nodded.
"Where are the kids?" Remus asked hugging me.
"Burrow with Tonks and Charlie. Sunny?" Sirius asked.
"Here!" Sunny walked in and hugged us both.
"How's Beastling?" I asked.
"As good as it can be. Still trying to get ready for the new school year. It's intense now that Dumbledore's not here anymore." Solis chuckled and stood next to Remus. "Did you hear the news, Vix?"
"What news?"
"Guess who's the new headmaster? Hint, it's not Minnie." Solis gave me a look and I almost lost my balance.
"NO! OUT OF ALL PEOPLE!? I WOULD RATHER HAVE PEEVES RUNNING THE SCHOOL!" Sirius rubbed my arms in an effort to calm me down. "Merlin's bloody ballsack! Out of all people!"
"Who is it?" Sirius and Remus asked. I pulled them closer to me and sighed.
"It's Snape." I whispered to the two of them.
"PEEVES IS A MUCH BETTER CHOICE!" Sirius yelled and looked at Solis. "Do you approve of this!?"
"Absolutely not. But I don't have a say. Apparently it's all according to a plan or whatever, but I'm not sure. Nothing makes sense anymore." Solis shrugged and I rubbed my temples.
"We'll talk about this later. How are you Kingsley?" I mumbled and hugged him.
"Kingsley, I thought you were looking after the prime minister?" Harry asked walking to the living room.
"You are more important. Where are the clothes, Jade?" Kingsley asked.
"First door on the right down the hall. Red bag." He nodded and left.
"Hey auntie." Bill entered and hugged me. "Hi, uncle Sirius."
"Hello, Jade!" Fleur smiled.
"Did the dress arrive okay? You tried it on?" I asked hugging Fleur.
"Fit like a dream! Thank you so much. I'll never be able to repay you."
"Make Bill happy and we'll call it even. He's like a son to me." Fleur nodded and I smiled.
"Hope you know that Bill takes his steaks on the raw side now, Fleur." Remus smirked and I rolled my eyes.
"My husband, the joker." Solis laughed and Sirius and I looked at each other in shock. "Which reminds me! Vix, Starboy, we're-"
"We can save the family reunion for later. We've got to get the hell out of here and soon!" Rude!
"I'll tell you later." Solis whispered to me and I nodded. "Twins?"
"Burrow, safe and sound." I said and she sighed in relief.
"Potter, you're underage. Which means you've still got the trace on you."
"What's the trace?" Harry asked and Moody glared at me.
"Not my fault. A lot of mourning happened this past month." I shrugged. "The trace is a way of the Ministry knowing who's underage and who isn't. Mostly for magic purposes and whatever. That means no floo, no apparating, no nothing until you're of age which thank Merlin it's soon."
"Threstals, brooms, and we're going in pairs. That way if anyone's out there waiting for us, and I reckon there will be, they won't be able to tell which Harry Potter is the real one." Moody said pulling out a flask. "I believe you're familiar with this particular brew."
"No. Absolutely not!"
"Told you he'd take it well." Hermoine scoffed and I laughed.
"If you think I'm gonna let everyone risk their lives for me-"
"Never have done that before, have I?" Ron rolled his eyes.
"Neither have we, apparently." Remus, Sirius and I said in unison and looked at each other confused.
"No, no. This is different. Taking that, becoming me, no!" Harry protested and I rolled my eyes.
"Get a grip, Bambi. It's already been decided." I shrugged.
"None of us really fancy it, mate." Fred said.
"Yeah, imagine if something went wrong and we ended up a scrawny specky git forever." George taunted and I glared at the two. "Sorry, aunt Jade."
"Everyone in here is of age, Potter. They've all agreed to take the risk." Moody said and we all nodded.
"Technically, I've been coerced." Mundungus Fletcher said and Sirius had to hold me back.
"Nip it, Mundungus" I sneered.
"All right Granger, as discussed." Hermoine nodded and took a strand of Harry's hair. "For those of you who haven't taken Polyjuice Potion before, fair warning. It tastes like goblin piss."
"I'm getting flashbacks and not the good ones." I whispered to my boys who started laughing.
"In all fairness you didn't make the potion."
"No, but I was almost convinced to do so." I laughed and took the flask and took a sip. "Goblin piss tastes like fucking candy compared to this."
"Wow, we're identical!" Fred and George said and I laughed.
"I look like Prongs, gross." I said looking in the mirror.
"You two are identical twins." Sirius rolled his eyes handing me the clothes.
"Yeah, I know. But I wear it better." I shrugged and changed.
"RUDE!"
"How do I look?" I laughed.
"Like Prongs and its breaking my heart, little Vixen." Remus chuckled and searched for Solis.
"Bambi, where the devil are you?" Sirius called out.
"Here!"
"We're taking your broom. No arguments about it." The real Harry (I think) nodded. "Stay next to Bill, that way I'll be able to tell it's you."
"Here." I took off the chain with the rings and handed it to Sirius. "Can't have that falling off."
...
"MY BABY!"
"Yes, Sirius. Hagrid kept your bike all these years. We're wasting time!" I scolded him. "The polyjuice only works for an hour."
"Sorry." Sirius mumbled and mounted the broom. "Let's see if my chaser days are still with me."
"Yeah. Don't fall and we'll be perfectly okay." I said mounting my old broom and sighed. "Don't fail me now, Nimbus."
"Not in my plans, sunshine."
"Head to the Burrow! We'll rendezvous there. On the count of three!"
"You ready?" Sirius asked. I nodded shakily and looked at Remus and Solis who nodded back at me.
"We've got your back, Vix." They said and. I nodded.
"THREE!" Here we go.
"We've got your back, Didi. And Harry's too."
Thanks, Prongs.
...
"SHIT!"
"HEY, HEY, HEY, LOOK AT ME!" Sirius yelled and punched a Deatheater. "It's just like when we were sixteen. Remember? You flying around with me and Prongs? It's just like that."
"With the exception of a hundred hexes being thrown my way!" I laughed and knocked a Deatheater out of his broom. "It's all a game, Pads! Always was!"
"You okay, Vix!?" Solis yelled and I nodded.
"HAGRID GIVE IT A BOOST! FORGET ABOUT US! REMEMBER WHAT MAD-EYE SAID! WE'LL BE RIGHT BEHIND YOU!" Hagrid nodded and Harry started to protest.
"HAGRID THE BIKE IS CHARMED FOR THINGS LIKE THIS! USE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE AND GET OUT OF HERE!" Sirius yelled and I gave him a look. "LONG STORY THAT INVOLVES PRONGS AS HIS ANIMAGUS AND TEN DEATHEATERS!"
"I really don't want to know anymore." I laughed and sent two Deatheater flying into each other.
"JADE THE POTION IS STARTING TO WEAR OFF! WE HAVE TO END THIS NOW!" Moody yelled right before a Deatheater struck him.
"NO! OKAY, THAT TEARS IT!" I yelled and pulled out my wand. "I TRIED TO BE NICE BUT IT ALL ENDS WHEN THE AUROR IS DEAD!"
"GIVE THEM HELL, AUNTIE JADE!" Bill laughed and I looked at the threstal. "SHE'S A BEAUTY RIGHT? SERIOUSLY, TELL ME BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE I'M FLOATING!"
"Yes, Bill. She's a beauty." I laughed and hexed the Deatheaters behind him. "And watch your six. You have a wedding in a few."
"That's what I tried to tell him!" Fleur said hexing a few deatheaters.
"MOONY!?"
"YES!?"
"CAN I!?" I smirked and he started to laugh.
"I don't see why not. EVERYONE GET BEHIND JADE! SHE'S GONNA END THIS HER WAY!"
"THAT'S NEVER GOOD!" Solis yelled and I laughed. "She's getting that look in her eyes and I don't like it."
"You're gonna love it. Trust me, Sunny." Sirius smirked. "Do it, sunshine."
"FIENDFYRE!" I yelled and the Deatheaters went flying back in an effort to get away. "THAT'S RIGHT! IT'S ALL FUN AND GAMES UNTIL WE BRONG THE FIRE OUT! LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!"
"WAY AHEAD OF YOU!"
...
"WE'VE GOT INJURED!"
"MAMA! DADA!" The twins yelled walking towards us. Sirius and I picked them up and he started to cry.
"Oh, thank Merlin. Thank Merlin." Sirius mumbled crying.
"We're here now. Thank Merlin." I mumbled hugging Regulus and sighed in relief. "Umm, Moony? What are you- REMUS!"
"What creature sat in the corner the first time Harry Potter visited my office in Hogwarts!?" Remus asked pointing his wand at Harry.
"ARE YOU MAD-"
"WHAT CREATURE!?" I took a step back from shock and looked at Sirius who was already looking at Remus wide-eyed.
"A grindylow!" Harry answered and I sighed in relief.
"It's actually my mother-in-law but sure. That works too." I smirked and Sirius bursted out laughing.
"That's an insult to grindylows, Vix." Sirius and I laughed.
"We've been betrayed. Voldemort knew you were being moved tonight. I had to make sure you weren't an imposter." Remus said sitting down.
We heard thunder and I tensed. Remus ran outside with Harry hot on his trails.
"What happened out there?" Charlie asked and I started to cry. "It's okay, auntie. The twins were safe the entire time."
"It's the first war all over again. Except this time, I don't have Prongs to kick ass with me. My PTSD is reaching new levels and I hate it." I mumbled and kissed Regulus' head as he was starting to fall asleep. I walked outside to find Solis arriving with Ron. "It's about damn time!"
"I wouldn't be standing here without Ron. Trust me." Solis sighed and hugged Remus. "I've never been more happy to see your face."
"The feeling's mutual." He said hugging her back.
"SUNNY!" Sirius yelled and pulled his twin into a hug crying. "Thank Merlin!"
"You okay auntie?" Bill asked hugging me.
"I should be asking you that. I'm about to have a heart attack." I said crying. "Never again, please. The flashbacks weren't pleasant."
"Where's George?" Arthur asked and I tensed.
"Inside. You two best go in there. It doesn't look good." I cried.
"We should get inside too, auntie. Reg is already fast asleep. I can take him if you want." I shook my head and he nodded in understanding. Fleur grabbed my arm lightly and escorted us inside.
We walked in to find Fred kneeling in front of George about to cry and my heart broke. I can't have these two be apart. I don't want them to know how it feels.
"How you feeling, Georgie?"
"Saint-like." George mumbled and I rolled my eyes. Of course. His possible deathbed and he's cracking jokes.
"Reminds me of someone. A certain twin who's ten minutes younger than her brother."
Shut it, Prongs.
"Nah."
"Come again?" Fred asked.
"Saint-like. I'm holy. I'm holy, Fred. Get it?"
"The whole wide world of ear related humor and you go for 'I'm holy'? That's pathetic." Fred chuckled and I smiled softly.
"Reckon I'm still better-looking than you." Merlin, they act just like me and Prongs. I don't know if I should be terrified or what.
"Maybe."
"Mad-eye's dead." Bill said and I hit his shoulder. "Ow!"
"There's a time and a place and Tonks come back here!" I said handing Regulus to Fleur and ran after Tonks who was outside and on her knees crying.
"Leave me be, Jade." She sobbed and I kneeled down hugging her. "My mentor. He taught me everything I know. He believed in me when no one else did."
"He believed in me too, Tonks." I said crying too. "We'll make sure he didn't die in vain."
"How?"
"By winning this god forsaken war. No matter the bloodshed."
