It had been 3 months since Charlie gave birth to Jaden and Melody, the parents doted on their two children hand an foot. Whatever they thought the twins wanted then they got, Tom and Severus as well as everyone in Durmstrang were doing the same thing.
Raphael and Charlie had been getting gifts from all of the students and teachers in the school, while most of them were for the twins the two parents also got a few gifts as well.
Tom and Severus had cornered the couple and told them that they needed to get away from the school for awhile, they had spoken to Igor and he had given them permission to leave the castle for a week at the most. Raphael and Charlie were reluctant to go because of their children however Tom and Severus promised they would not let the two children out of their sights.
The two new parents had been with their children for 3 months, they were not spending any time alone and that was something Severus and his mate were going to put an end to.
They decided to go to England because that is the only place that they knew other then Bulgaria. They kissed their twins goodbye, hugged everyone else in the dorms before they apparated to England.
"What if he run into them?" Raphael asked, he still had not forgiven the light for taking his mate and unborn children.
"If we do then we will deal with it, and I mean with our mouths." Charlie said, he knew his mate was still mad at the Order but they had to wait for the plan to come together before they did anything to them.
"Your no fun." Raphael pouted, but his eyes were filled with playfulness.
"That's not what you say at night when we have the chance to be alone." Charlie whispered into his mate's ear, he smiled when he show the shiver he caused.
"You know how I react when you do that." Raphael said smirking, he lightly hit Charlie over his head and he mock groaned in pain.
"You didn't need to do that love, I'm a sensitive boy." Charlie mock pouted.
"How about we head to Knockturn Alley?" Raphael asked, he needed to get some potion ingredients as well as some gifts for Fred and George since it was their birthday.
"Yeah we need to get something for that pranking duo, and we know the best place for that is in the dark part of Diagon Alley." Charlie agreed, he knew no one would hurt them in Knockturn Alley but that didn't mean he felt safe in there.
"We also need to get some pure black robes, you know father is planning a Raid and this one will be the first we will be going to. We need robes that will disguise us." Raphael said. He was excited about the Raid, it would be his chance to show what he capable of but no revealing who he truly was.
"I am excited too, it will be the first time the light will see all of us together but not who we are." Charlie smirked, he knew he was once one of the most gentle people you would ever meet but he also knew he changed since meeting Raphael. And he loved that change.
"You are like the perfect mate." Raphael said with a smile, they were walking through the alleyway connecting Diagon Alley to Knockturn Alley.
"Of course I am, I was made to be with you remember." Charlie smirked, his mate was so forgetful sometimes.
"I knew that." Raphael tried to defend, but it was a pointless try.
"Ah here we are." Charlie said. He held the door open for his mate, they were in a potions store so it did have many smells woven into the air.
"My Princes, what can I do for you?" The man behind the counter asked. Everyone who was on the side of the dark knew all about the Prince and his mate, just like the light side now did. However no one but their close friends and allies knew who they really were.
Raphael had grown very fond of potions, much like his mother and father did when they were in school, he found himself spending a lot of bonding time with them over potions. Raphael then gave the man a list of things he will need for the potions he is making, when they were all given to him wrapped up and in a bad he paid the clerk, then led Charlie out of the shop.
They walked a couple of steps before coming to a stop in front of a clothing store, they walked in and requested plain black robes with hoods for them and the rest of the Circlet. Once they were paid for they headed to the last shop at the end of the Alley, it was one of the most popular shops so it was placed at the end so people would have to walk past all of the other shops to reach it.
It was a shop with everything you could think of in it, Diagon Alley had no shop like this. If you think it exists then you will find it in this shop.
They walked around before they found a couple of gifts each for Fred and George as well as some little bits and pieces for their twins.
Once they had finished in Knockturn Alley they walked out, but luck was not on their side as they ran into the Weasley Family when coming into Diagon Alley.
Molly's eyes immediately went to her ex sons stomach, she blanched when she saw that there was no longer a bump there. "Where is the child?" She asked in a demanding tone.
"That is of no concern to you." Charlie said sneering at the woman.
"It is a concern of mine, I am it's Grandmother and you can't keep it from me!" Molly screeched.
"Yes we can, the child is mine and my mate's you have no say in the matter. Besides you disowned me so that means you disowned your child as well, you have no relation to her." Charlie hissed at her, here he thought that they would have a relaxing vacation and then these clowns had to come and ruin it for them.
"How dare you speak to her like that!? She is your mother!" Arthur yelled at Charlie, he shot a dirty look to Raphael which caused Charlie to growl at him.
"That woman is not my mother! You are not my father! And they are not my brother and sister! And if I see you shooting dirty looks to my mate again I will kill you!" Charlie yelled, they were already making him angry and now Arthur was shooting his mate DIRTY looks, he would not have it.
"Charlie can't you see he has done something to you?" Ginny whimpered and pretended to cry, when she was younger Charlie had always came to her and stuck with her when she cried, there was no reason it wouldn't work now.
"He hasn't got anything on, and stop with fake tears. They worked when you were younger but not anymore." Charlie told her, glaring hotly into her face and forcing her to back down.
"How do you know he hasn't got you under something? You wouldn't know it if he did, that's how those spells work." Ron said, he thought that they were finally getting through to Charlie.
"I swear on my magic and my life that there are no spells placed on my person, I was not forced into this bonding and I love my mate more then anything. I swear that I want nothing to do with the Weasley family as I am no longer one of them." Charlie said in a loud voice, he glowed for a moment before he opened his eyes.
Molly and her family expected Charlie to no longer have any magic because he was lying, but when he waved his wand and he cast a spell he knew they had nothing and that Charlie was not lying.
"But no one would willingly bond with the son of Voldemort!" Ginny squealed, she knew she was in marriage contract with Harry Potter but she did not want to see the happiness that Charlie radiated.
"I did, I love him and his family very much. You have no see in my life, my mate's life nor the lives of our children." Charlie growled at them, the only thing keeping him from hexing them was the fact that his mate was close to him.
"Children?" Hermione asked, it had been the first time she had spoken from behind the family Charlie hadn't even seen her.
"Yes I gave birth to twins, a male a female." Charlie told them, he saw no reason not keep this to himself.
"I have two grandchildren?" Molly asked with tears in her eyes, two more children for her to bring up.
"For the last time woman the only Grandparents my children have are Raphael's parents, you are no family to me so you are no family to my children!" Charlie yelled.
"Charlie calm down love." Raphael said trying to soothe his mate.
"You stay out of it! If you hadn't come along Charlie would still be under the control of the light!" Molly yelled, and then she covered her mouth when she realised what she had just said.
"Ah so the truth finally comes out and I hear with my own ears." Charlie sneered at the family.
"That is not what I me..." Molly tried to explain but Charlie interrupted her.
"Save it! I know everything you did to all those people, killing people because they wouldn't join the light, stealing from a child and then turning him into a weapon based on a fake prophecy!" Charlie was yelling by now.
"It was for the greater good! It had to be done to defeat You-Know-Who!" Ron yelled out.
"We shall see about that. And we will see what the people think on what you have done." Charlie said with a smirk.
"What do you mean?" Ginny asked confused.
This time it was Raphael who answered. "Oh nothing much but Charlie and a few other people have given their story to Rita Skeeter, she should be writing all about you, the Headmaster and the Order right about now." Raphael said with an evil smirk.
"Let's see what the rest of the Wizarding World thinks of your actions." Charlie finished. He watched the looks of shock and then horror on their faces. They disaparated on the spot, Raphael and Charlie knew that it was to tell the old man what they had learned.
"They are going to be too late." Raphael said.
"Yeah good thing we did send out that letter to Rita yesterday, or that would have gotten awkward." Charlie smiled slyly.
"The world deserves to know what kind of man they follow, they need to learn the truth a long with the proof that Dumbledore always refuses to give them." Raphael said.
"That is why I love you so much my mate, even when things are looking down you are always thinking of others no matter what." Charlie said leaning down to kiss his mate.
"I love you too Charlie." Raphael replied once they separated.
They spent the next week in the Leaky Cauldron as well as walking around Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley. They spent nights in their room making love to one another or just spending quiet time with each other, luckily they had never met up with the Weasley family at all.
Rita had disappeared the day after Raphael and Charlie told the Weasley Family about the article, they had sent a message right away that the Order could be on her trail to stop the story being published. She was still alive, and was getting ready to publish the story in the next couple of days.
When they got back to the castle they were given their children, who they had missed for one full week. Severus and Tom gave them a run down of what had happened since they had left, all of it was good news that they were happy to hear about.
"Now the next step is to wait for the article to come out, wait for the people to learn the truth and them make our next move." Tom said, the others in the room agreeing.
