HJP's POV

Harry apparated with an eager Jamie to Burgess. Only to gasp as they entered the Bennett's house and a woman passed right through him.

"Jamie Bennett! Do you have any idea how worried we were, Young Man?"

"I'm sorry, I was with Uncle Harry and Jack Frost."

"Enough with this nonsense. Jack Frost doesn't exist."

"Enough!" Everyone froze as Jamie's father appeared. "They exist. Uncle Harry is right now in this house."

"Why do you insist on this nonsense? He is too old to still believe."

"Make her look at a mirror." Harry put in with a glare.

Bennett nodded and made his wife turn towards the mirror at the entrance. She gasped at seeing Harry in the mirror.

"They are real!" Jamie retorted.

The Muggle turned between Harry's empty space and the mirror version, until she suddenly shrieked when she actually saw Harry for real.

"Yes, I am real. Jamie was with me for the past 24 hours. Actually come September he'll be going to Ilvermorny. To be taught how to 'Believe' accordingly." Harry turned towards Bennett. "And you asked me permission to wed her? She just almost raised her hand to Hermione's son!"

"She's just worried because he disappeared without warning us."

"That's my boyfriend's fault. He forgot to warn you." Harry argued.

"Bo… boyfriend?"

Harry massaged his eyebrows.

"Yes, I'm Merlin. I'm a Wizard. I'm immortal. Walk around in robes and with a wand in hand. There is a black President in the White House. Gay couples can wed practically all over the continent… and you couldn't see me a minute ago. Yet your issue with me is because I'm a queer?" Harry turned towards Bennett again. "I take it back. She has 'not' my approval. Honestly, where was your mind when you wed her?"

"Obviously I wasn't thinking clearly. Yet I get it you don't know either where Sophie is?"

Harry glanced at Jamie with a raised eyebrow.

"Sophie stayed behind." The boy argued. "Uncle Harry, you've got to find her… my sister."

Harry froze looking at the boy as he stood by the door, ready to flee. Before he finally sighed. Harry turned around and grabbed his wand, letting it guide him.

"Point me Sophie Bennett!"

Chapter VI

–Bunny's Apology–

Monday, 9 April 2012

HJP's POV

"Please, my sister."

The magical words… Harry sighed, as he arrived Jamie's room and felt the magical pull of a snowball gateway.

"Jamie, your tooth… did your set it under the pillow?"

"Yes…?"

"Check your tooth."

Jamie run to the mattress and lifted the pillow, only to find a coin.

"As I thought so." Harry agreed with a groan. "Sophie's with the Guardians… most likely by accident. Who is her favourite?"

"The Easter Bunny." Jamie replied.

Harry huffed. It had to be the Warren, right?

"Looks like I'm going to Australia, then."

"Australia?" Bennett asked from the bedroom's doorway.

"That's where he lives." Harry massaged his eyebrows. "I'll bring her in no time. She's fine. Just… handle 'that'."

Harry signalled the man's wife's disgusted look. Bennett looked at her and then towards Harry.

"Don't go alone."

"I won't." Harry lied.

He turned to leave, but Bennett grabbed him. Harry froze, expecting to be passed through again.

"I shouldn't have remarried so soon. I know how hard it was for me after she died. I never considered what you were passing through. When this is done, come back here."

"Bennett…"

"Jamie needs his uncle. Someone to tell him about Hermione."

Harry glanced at the boy, before he sighed and approached him.

"You know the frozen lake by the forest?" Jamie nodded. "Around it there is a clearing with an old bed and a hole under it. That's the doorway to my home. You are always welcomed… just don't get too worried of my brother Bogeyman. He loves to play spooky games."

Jamie nodded and Harry smiled at him.

"How was she? Mom?"

"Like you. Too much like you." Harry petted his head and then straightened up. "I'll be going now."

Harry left the bedroom, apparated to Australia and entered the Warren's entrance. The eggs all around were broken and the place empty. No Sophie in place. Harry passed a hand through his hair when he ended up empty handed. How would've he find a child in a billion? And one he never met before!

JB's POV

Jamie left Dad and his stepmom arguing and ran to the forest. As Uncle Harry promised, the bed was there.

"Jamie Bennett, shouldn't you be with your uncle?" A voice asked from the shadows.

"Sophie, my sister, is missing. Uncle Harry went to Easter Bunny's place to look for her."

A man stepped from the shadows. So this was the Bogeyman…

"Your sister's a Believer? Does she believe?" Jamie nodded and he was guided through the tunnels to a room with a huge glove. "She is at North's Workshop."

Jamie's eyes grew in wonder, only for a man made of sand to wave back by the side.

"Sandman! … You've been putting days off!" He accused after the inner happiness of meeting him.

Uncle Bogeyman laughed.

"It's my fault, not his. I've been giving the Nightmares too lenience up there."

"Why?"

"Because children don't believe in me. They only believe in the big four. You being one of a kind thanks to being a Wizard. The children need fear or they grow up thinking themselves unbeatable. Or even might die for lack of fear as a child."

"You having a war with the Guardians?"

"We're teaching the Guardians that some times they need to step back." Uncle Bogeyman agreed. "And Sandy is a Guardian and is on my side."

Sandy waved, before turning towards Uncle Bogeyman and started signalling with his dream sand instead of speaking.

"What is it?"

"Sandy is heading towards the Pole to see it really is your sister up there." Uncle Bogeyman explained, before replying to Sandy. "I'm going to call Jack and Voldemort first and then we'll follow you, Sandy."

Sandy showed a hat, that he raised and a cloud of sand appeared under his feet. Jamie run to him and jumped to the cloud. Sandy smiled back before he flew them down the labyrinthine hallways.

"Will my sister be fine?"

–AsG–

HJP's POV

Harry watched as a small bunny approached.

"Came to gloat?"

"Why'd I do that? I didn't do that with Pitch when he lost to you, why'd I do it with you?"

The bunny's ears flattened on the head and then it sighed.

"You really are scared to death of me." Harry didn't refuse the statement, both knowing Harry had shivered when Bunny had first spoken and Harry had realized that the small bunny was the Pooka. "I don't believe Pitch would've tell you to face me to get rid of the fear."

"That's not why I'm here." Harry retorted. "A toddler. Female. During your teeth-hunting, my nephew's baby sister went missing."

Bunny frowned.

"You still have family?" Harry nodded. "She's at the North's Workshop. I can't travel us there any longer."

"At the Pole? But Jamie said you're her favourite?"

"The Anklebiter was here, but we took her to the Yetis. We already were too weak to find out from where she come from."

Harry massaged his eyebrows. He turned to leave, but stopped and looked back at the rodent.

"All you had needed to do was say please."

"What?"

"I only attacked you after you turned on me."

When the Bunny didn't reply back, Harry assumed the conversation ended there so he walked towards the caves to leave.

"You weren't fully healed." Harry froze at the reminder. "If you'll allow me, I'd like to fix what I did."

"You can't give me my sister. Nor Arthur."

"No, but I can finish healing you and grant you and your lover a child."

Harry's eyes grew and he turned slowly towards the small bunny.

"One of us would've be able to get pregnant?"

"It'd take some work – you aren't made of same genetics as Pookas – but I'll do it… if you'd let me."

Harry passed a hand through his face, then he approached Bunny and picked him up.

"All you needed to do was say I'm sorry, you know?"

"I'm sorry."

Harry huffed and side-apparated to the Pole.

–AsG–

Harry glanced at the small golden man on the Moon platform with whom North and Tooth Fairy were talking with. Bunny popped from Harry's hands and approached.

"Manny, there's no need for war."

The two Guardians looked at him surprised and then towards Harry.

"Where's my nephew's sister?"

"Anklebiter." Bunny translated.

"She's in the workshop playing." North offered.

Harry nodded and turned, going to the workshop. He approached the blonde girl and picked her up. A child…

"Bunny up up up."

"Want to see Bunny?" The girl nodded. Harry walked back and set her before Bunny. Sophie immediately picked up the Easter Bunny. "So that's the famous Man in Moon?"

"Yes."

"You're insane." Harry claimed to the golden man. "There isn't Light without Darkness. There's isn't Darkness without Light. The bigger the Light the bigger the Dark. You've created an unbalance on Earth. On my Earth – you aren't more than a bloody Alien on a satellite – that I'm working so hard to balance."

"Merlin…"

"Uncle Harry!" Harry turned to find Sandy entering with Jamie. "Sophie! You've found her! Thank you so much!"

"I never could refuse your mother anything. You really thought I'd refuse you anything, Jamie?"

Jamie run towards Harry and hugged him tight.

"Mom would've be proud."

Harry hiccupped and he gasped at realizing he was crying. He kneeled down and held unto Hermione's son.

"Can't he see us?" Harry heard Man in Moon ask.

Harry released Jamie slowly, who smiled back.

"I waited for you. Jack said you were real so I always waited faithfully."

"Jamie… do you know why you have that name?"

"I'm named after you. Harry James Potter. Dad says you said no Harry. Nothing about James nor Merlin… thankfully it was James. Imagine if I'd gotten Merlin!"

Harry made a move to step back, when Pitch, Jack and Voldemort entered through the shadows.

"Why's Sophie holding a little bunny?" Jack asked. "And what the hell is that golden man?"

"Swearing before children!" All the Guardians snarled at the teenager.

"It's Manny." Pitch replied. "And Bunny. Losing Easter made him shrink."

"Why's Sophie holding Bunny then?"

"Bunny up up up." Sophie retorted, hugging the small bunny a little too tight.

The immortals watched the scene where Bunny almost got strangulated apprehensively. None of them knowing how to stop the girl.

"Jamie?" Harry asked.

"Don't look at me. I usually would've call my stepmom at this moment."

Jack huffed and flew to their side, he landed by Sophie's side and made a snow bunny appear. Sophie shrieked, released Bunny and run after it.

"Warlock." Harry looked at Man in Moon. "What are you proposing?"

"A world where's both, you Dumbass!"

Jamie chocked on a laugh and the Guardians chocked on their breaths. Harry turned towards Pitch.

"Want me to take over, Brother of mine?"

"Yes, please. Do make certain that you pinpoint Bunny's proposal for allowing a male pregnancy into the deal, Kay?"

Pitch glanced at Jack who looked right back, before Pitch returned his attention at Harry.

"I'll make certain not to let that out of the deal." He agreed and approached the platform.

Harry picked up Sophie and approached Voldemort.

"I know you aren't…"

"It's what you want?" Voldemort interrupted, as Jamie run their way.

"Yes."

Voldemort nodded and lent down, picking the child up.

"Then looks like Jamie's getting a cousin, Applejuice."

Harry smiled and Voldemort side-apparated them away to Burgess. Bennett was waiting for them. He picked his daughter and glanced at Voldemort uncertain.

"Your boyfriend?" Harry nodded. "Please come in, Sir. I'll have breakfast ready. I know I'm a Nomaj but I know some great English breakfasts."

Voldemort hummed and entered as he set Jamie down.

"Go change clothes." Voldemort told the boy, who run to his room. "Go set your daughter in bed. We can prepare breakfast ourselves. It's not like Apple… Harry needs to eat."

Bennett looked at Harry and then towards Voldemort.

"You know my brother-in-law by another name?"

"By all of them, but I was your son's age when I met him under a Healer's name."

"You may use that. There's no need to force yourself to call your lover by a name you aren't used to… just no swords in the house."

Bennett walked down the corridor into his daughter's room. Harry glanced at Voldemort, only to see him take out the Excalibur and put it on the umbrella's base.

"Still can't believe you can wield that."

"Not just that." Voldemort retorted.

Harry frowned and then blushed deep red.

"There's children in the house!"

Voldemort chuckled and they walked into the kitchen. Harry stared at the kitchen uncertain, only for Voldemort to side-step him and quickly set up breakfast.

"Wasn't you the one who used to cook at the Dursleys?"

"Since Camelot I don't cook. I some times eat but…"

"You're already dead." Voldemort argued.

"You're dead?" Bennett asked from the doorway.

"For me to become immortal, I died." Harry agreed. "I believe Tom told Hermione."

"Don't tell him that blasted name, Applejuice." Voldemort pleaded.

"I love your name." Harry retorted.

"All your fake alias, you never used it."

Harry hummed.

"Point taken… next one I'll use Tom."

Voldemort groaned and Bennett laughed.

"Which one should I use?"

"He calls himself Lord Voldemort now."

Bennett nodded.

"Pleasure, my Lord." Voldemort nodded back. "My wife went to her parents' place for the next couple days."

Harry hummed.

"Are you certain about it?"

Bennett glanced in the bedroom's direction and then back.

"I'm certain. I don't regret wedding her since she helped me with Jamie and gave me Sophie. Still for a while now that we've drifted apart."

Harry sat by the table with a sigh.

–AsG–

Easter 2015

Harry smiled as Jamie, Sophie and Arthy played around on the ice. Bennett arrived his side and smiled back.

"I see the cousins are getting close."

"Just don't tell that to Bunny." Harry retorted and when Bennett raised an eyebrow, Harry pointed at the snow. "Jack's Not Snow Day."

Bennett snorted.

"Losing control with Pitch down there?"

"That obvious." Harry agreed. "He wants to add his own child to the cousin's mix." He added. "So the two have been going like bunnies."

Bennett chuckled.

"How's Voldemort?"

"Even more overprotective than ever. Yet he is the ruler of England's Wizardry World, so he can't be with me at full-time… he'll get bored with it eventually."

"Immortal as well?" Harry nodded. "What about Arthy?"

"Voldemort isn't dead like me… so I can't know if Arthy inherited my side or his side. Voldemort's only immortal because of Dark Magic."

Bennett hummed as the two teenagers played around with the toddler.

"I don't really know what to wish. If for him to be – for you – or if for him not to be – for him."

Harry sighed.

"I know that for his sake I shouldn't… but I can't lose another Arthur."

Bennett set a hand on Harry's shoulder. Both turned towards the playing cousins as the black-haired toddler with green and grey eyes smiled back with a toothy smile.

"How was he? King Arthur?"

"Everything the legends tell you and more." Harry agreed. "He was a King." He supplied and smiled sadly at Bennett. "A King isn't allowed to befriend anyone, yet the last thing he did was to call me his friend. On his last minutes he was Human."

Bennett hummed.

"Have you ever pondered on the fact that Voldemort could see you since he was a child – and wield Excalibur – because he might be Arthur's rebirth?"

Harry laughed at that.

"If Arthur was meant to be reborn in anyone, it would've be as someone who'd came for Albion when it most needed." He agreed. "Arthur, like Voldemort, also didn't need to be made believe. They both just… saw me."

Harry frowned as he recognised the resemblance. He turned towards Bennett wide-eyed, who laughed.

"Just go. I'll watch over my nephew and children." He agreed.

Harry apparated into Hogwarts and Voldemort looked up from the meeting he was having. The woman stood at once and bowed at Harry.

"I need to speak with my husband alone." Harry told her and she nodded, leaving.

"Is there something wrong?" Voldemort asked apprehensively.

Harry approached and kissed him hard.

"I now know why you could believe in me, before you even were told of me." Voldemort raised an eyebrow. "You're the rebirth of Arthur Pendragon."

"Applejuice…" Voldemort started with a sigh.

Harry summoned a book and opened it on rebirthing tests. Voldemort huffed and performed the ceremony only for before himself to appear a ghost of a blond man. The two had similar stances, yet weren't alike. Both were connected by the Excalibur on their hips.

"Arthur."

The image turned towards Harry and smiled.

"Hello, old Friend." Arthur turned back towards Voldemort. "Take good care of him. He might be powerful, but he is actually as fragile as glass."

"I know." Voldemort agreed. "I married him after all."

"Then find a way to do what I couldn't." Arthur required. "Stay by his side. Become an immortal."

Voldemort nodded and Arthur and Voldemort's soul blended as one again. Voldemort glanced back at Harry, who was looking back sadly.

"I'm not calling our son Arthur as Jr." Voldemort retorted, which made Harry laugh.

"It was your idea." He argued.

"Because you wanted to name him Tommy!" Voldemort huffed. "Looks like King Arthur followed you in the end."

"Explains a lot of why you were so fixed up on me."

Voldemort laughed and pulled Harry into his arms.

"I believe I loved you in my past life." He agreed.

Harry's eyes grew and was pulled into a deep kiss, right there in the middle of the Headmaster's office… before the former headmaster's portraits. He should've be ashamed, but Voldemort didn't allow him the time to feel embarrassed.

He just slipped inside.

He went home.

"Shall we try for a daughter this time around?" Voldemort wondered.

Harry smiled back and held his legs tighter around the waist of his younger lover.

"Definitely."

The End!

That's it, Folks!
